My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 29
stomping on...

The sound of horse hooves extended into the dark night. 15 people and 21 horses were running along the mountain road. On the backs of the unoccupied horses were the bodies of their comrades tied up. The speed was relatively slow, and the smell of blood was still floating on each figure's body in the wind.

"drive!"

The whip cracked in the air, Su Chen's bun was messy and flew behind her head, her eyes were looking forward, but her mind was constantly surging.

'Dong Zhuo must be allowed to speed up his military training after returning. '

'It's impossible to forge armor and weapons, and there's no way to get there from my father, so I can only ask my eldest brother for help and find a way to borrow a batch from the Ding'an Army for temporary use...'

"When the new recruits show some promise, let Dong Zhuo go and suppress this branch of the Wild God Sect, no matter who is behind it!" '

Turning around the fork at the foot of the mountain ahead, and stepping onto the official road leading to Ding'an City, several torchlights were coming at speed. Zhu Gongdao stepped forward first, reined in his horse and stopped, barely raising the spear in his hand to stop the intruders.

Seeing the figure and appearance illuminated by the firelight, Zhu Gongdao turned his face slightly and said, "The third young master is Dong Zhuo."

Jianghu knights have a clear distinction between love and hate. He does not like evil people like Dong Zhuo from the bottom of his heart, and it has nothing to do with his level of martial arts.

The fast horses stopped. Dong Zhuo didn't seem to care about Zhu Gongdao's words. He directly urged the horses to come over and simply raised his hand to Su Chen as a courtesy.

"I feel relieved that Dong is safe and sound." As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked the men on horseback to bring the 'thing' lying on the horse's back to Su Chen.

"I met him on the way to seek immortality, so I cut off his limbs to avoid causing trouble."

Su Chen rushed over. Zhu Gongdao next to him took the torch and took a look. Seeing his almost comatose face, Su Chen grinned and said, "Take it back to the city and let you Gang Leader Chen find a hidden place to take care of him for the time being."

He was relieved when he was caught. It didn't matter whether he had limbs or not.

"Mr. Dong, thank you very much!"

Su Chen thanked Dong Zhuo, then went over and slapped the assassin twice on the face, raised his hand and told everyone to go back to the city to rest, while Qingqi took his dead comrades back to the military camp.

After being interrogated by the soldiers at the city gate, Su Chen led everyone back to the city. After parting ways with the minions, he went straight back to the house. He asked Zhu Gongdao to go back to recover from his injuries, while he walked around in the yard and held a long tree from the ancestral hall. fragrant.

"Changsheng, why are you doing this?"

Dong Zhuo leaned his knife against the eaves pillar and sat on the stone steps, watching Su Chen walking back and forth holding the scented incense, behaving strangely and mumbling.

"He is looking for Wei Taizu." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie suddenly appeared aside. He did not have the airs of an emperor at all, but he had a strange look on his face, especially after saying this, he looked at Dong Zhuo with complicated eyes.

"Wei Taizu? Who is he?" Dong Zhuo frowned.

"Cao Cao, Cao Mengde." Even after many years, the gray-bearded Liu Xie's voice trembled slightly when he mentioned this name again.

"He became emperor?"

Dong Zhuo didn't pay attention to Liu Xie's weak and trembling tone, but his voice was loud, his eyes widened, and then he stood up and cursed: "This guy and Yuan Shao claim to be Han ministers, contact all the princes to attack me, saying that I am a national thief, but he ended up Become an emperor!!"

"He was posthumously granted the title." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty added weakly.

"What about you, Your Majesty?"

Liu Xie turned his face away: "Grand Master, it's better not to ask, you two are pretty much the same."

Dong Zhuo, who was filled with righteous indignation just now, immediately shrank down, sat down next to Emperor Xian again, pouted, and spoke after a long while.

"I... it's different. I brought trouble to Chao Gang. I had revenge at first, but then I lost my mind..."

While the two were talking, Su Chen came back with only half of the incense burnt. When he saw the two people sitting side by side under the eaves, he frowned.

"Why can't you invite Cao Cao to show up even though Cao Cao has appeared? Does Your Majesty know the reason?"

"This... I didn't know, Thief Cao... Cao Mengde is cunning and wary by nature. It's not necessarily true that he can't hide in the dark to observe the situation." Even though Liu Xie has a different temperament than when he was young, that Cao Cao has been his nightmare for most of his life. , how can it be so easy to say that it has passed?

"Maybe if you wait a little longer, he will come out to see you."

"Then what's going on with Lu Bu?" Su Chen casually threw Qingxiang to the ground and sat down under the eaves, next to Liu Xie, "I've used my meritorious service, but he didn't react at all."

He took out the token from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Xie to see.

The latter frowned slightly, looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly said with a smile: "Marquis Wen is unruly and has a heart as high as the sky. How can he come out so easily? Maybe you can use some methods to provoke him."

"Just like a man who was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time under human beings??"

Liu Xie's expression changed and he quickly signaled Su Chen not to say anything.

"This is also his regret. Don't use these words to remind him to take this road again."

"Did that scoundrel say this? It's different to have been the chief clerk. I can't say it." Dong Zhuo's beard grew angrily: "Everyone called me a traitor to the country, but in the end, they are all the same as me, bah!"

Dong Zhuo stood up angrily, and then a crisp voice sounded: "Father."

Su Chen frowned when he heard this sound. Not many people called Dong Zhuo his adoptive father. Following the sound, he saw a girl wearing a floral skirt timidly standing in front of a few rooms on the right, half of her body hidden in the Behind the eaves column, some timidly looked over. "Dong Gong, this is..."

"My adopted daughter." Dong Zhuo responded without looking back. He went straight over and held the girl in his arms. He even rubbed her face affectionately and walked through the corridor between the two rooms. Went behind.

"Master Dong, because he missed his daughter, he adopted a mother and daughter who were victims of the disaster."

"I see." Su Chen's yard is quite big, and it is enough for seven or eight people to live in. Considering Dong Zhuo's intimacy with the girl, it would be a good thing if his violence can be restrained.

After talking to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty for a while, he got up and went back to his room to wash up. He sent his maid to get some oral wound medicine and took it. Then he dragged his tired body onto the bed and fell asleep.

He slept until noon. Thirteen came over and knocked on the door several times. When Su Chen opened the door, he had already made a gesture of breaking in.

"Third Young Master, you're trying to scare me to death. I almost broke into my house because of my humble position."

"Looking for me to eat?" Su Chen looked around the courtyard while adjusting his robes. Not only did he not see Cao Cao, but he also didn't see Dong Zhuo. After asking Thirteen, he said that he had left the city early in the morning.

Needless to say, this is the time to recruit troops.

Su Chen also has two things to do today. One is to interrogate the assassin. The second thing is to tell his father about the assassin and see how he reacts.

He is going to kill his son, so he can't just ignore it, right?
Arriving at the atrium, the dining hall had already laid out the dishes. Su Congfang was sitting at the head of the table. Her eldest brother and sister-in-law were also there, but the second brother and second sister-in-law were missing.

Seeing his youngest son, who gave him a headache just by looking at him, coming in with a smile, Su Congfang put down the bowls and chopsticks, and her expression turned ugly.

"I heard from the general on duty yesterday that you came back at midnight. What did you do?"

"I went on a hunting trip and was assassinated." Su Chen didn't go around in circles. He sat down next to his father, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, put the vegetables into his mouth and chewed them, while recounting what happened last night in detail. Let Su Congfang and Su Yong know, of course they will hide it when they go to Ji County.

After all, he wanted to annihilate the branch of the Aragami Sect, but he didn't know how his father and brother would react, so he tested them by encountering an assassin.

"Still that group of people?" Su Yong's face showed concern, "Third brother, are you injured?"

"Looking at him eating so sweetly, he'll be fine."

Su Congfang's face looked even worse than before, "What happened to the assassin in the end?"

"Caught by his subordinates."

Su Chen took a bite of rice and ate it with gusto. He glanced at Su Congfang from the corner of his eyes and said, "Dad, the other party said they would always target my Su family. What do you think now?"

"They really say that?"

The old man's tone became deeper, and he slammed his hand on the table, shaking the bowl so hard that one of the chopsticks fell off.Su Yong quickly signaled his wife Su Huan to leave, and the maids who were waiting around also retreated to the back hall one by one.

There were only three father and son left in the hall.

Su Chen didn't speak, but unbuttoned his clothes to reveal his right shoulder and arm. On them were bruises from the airwaves from the previous few rounds of fighting with the assassin.

"If your son had no ability, I'm afraid there would be a mourning hall at home today."

Looking at the dozens of bruises on Su Chen's shoulders and arms, Su Congfang gritted her teeth and slowly clenched her palms on the table into fists.

But then he let go, closed his eyes, and softened his tone.

"My father thought that the assassination incident was over, and if everyone didn't quarrel or get involved and embarrass the big shot, the matter would be revealed... It seems that my father was wrong..."

"But as a father, you are the head of the family. If you can't even protect your son, how can you talk about protecting the family?"

Su Congfang gently arranged Su Chen's clothes and patted him on the shoulder.

"Whoever bullies you, dad will bully you back. But you can't let them know that it was dad who did it. Just like they only dare to use assassins, dad knows that you are recruiting disaster victims outside, and dad allows you to get them from the armory. The last batch of armor and weapons, but the horses are not good enough and are easily exposed. As for other matters, dad will come forward and deal with the people above."

Su Chen knew the position of this cheap man and did not dare to do anything big, otherwise it would be a rebellion. With one county and two counties, less than [-] soldiers and horses, let alone attack, he could defend the surrounding area. It is unrealistic to attack several states, especially now when the drought has just passed and the economy is in recession.

However, Su Chen was quite satisfied to get such a statement from Su Congfang. It was not in vain that he had called him dad for ten years.

"What did the father say?"

The old man smiled, dipped his fingers in the wine, and wrote two words on the table: "Fire Union."

Su Yong on the side did not speak, but just laughed.

The implication is that Taiping Dao, which is developing a cult, will fight with the Huangshen Cult. Naturally, those cult members are not real people wearing yellow scarves, but [-] private soldiers recruited by Su Chen.

This is Su Congfang's greatest support.
