Ming Empire

Chapter 104 Purpose
"Today, my family took the risk to come to Datong mainly to ask you these things." The red lady wiped the corners of her eyes twice, and said softly, "Now that the matter has been clarified, it's time to go."

"Is there really nothing else?" Cao Yue didn't quite believe it.

"Actually, the slave family wanted to ask General Cao about something, but now...forget it, let's not talk about it!" The red lady said, getting up to leave, "I disturbed General Cao today, and I think General Cao would not embarrass the slave family. This is my farewell!"

"If you have anything to say, just say it!" Cao Yue couldn't stand a woman like this in front of him. He said that he had something to ask him, but he was too embarrassed to say it. The man's self-esteem made him frown and ask, "Just tell me, if I... can help you, I will help you!"

The red lady hesitated for a while, and finally said bravely: "General Cao, my family was kicked out of the army by Li Yan, and he wrote a letter of divorce. The world is so big that there is no place for me, the red lady. Now There are military disasters everywhere, I am a weak woman, I really have nowhere to go. I don’t know if General Cao can let us master and servants stay in Datong for a while, and leave after the military chaos is over, and find another place to go?”

After saying this, the red lady looked very nervous, and her face turned a little red.

Cao Yue was quite surprised by the request of the red lady, and faintly felt that it was a bit abnormal. Based on his "knowledge" of the red lady, this stubborn and strong woman should not make such a request to him. He subconsciously thought that the red lady In this way, there is a special purpose.

Could this woman want to take this opportunity to stay by his side, find a way to spy on Datong's military situation, find out the details of why Datong's army suddenly became stronger, and then pass these things back to Li Yan?Or is she trying to steal important military supplies such as firearms?

Thinking of this, Cao Yue couldn't help becoming vigilant, but after seeing the red lady's look of helplessness, he finally agreed: "No problem, since Mrs. Li, since you want to live in Datong for a while, I will definitely help you. arrange."

"Don't call me Mrs. Li," Hong Niangzi couldn't help but whispered an excuse: "I am no longer Li Yan's wife."

"This should just be Li Yan's impulsive behavior. He will definitely...well, I'll call you Red Girl," Cao Yue wiped his nose in embarrassment, "I don't know where Red Girl wants to live? I'm in the city. Xingyuan is very small, there are not many rooms, and I spend most of my time living in the military barracks outside the city. How about I find you a house and add some household items for you, and you will live there for a while? ?”

After thinking about it for a while, the red lady nodded and agreed: "Then trouble General Cao, I thank you very much. But, tonight..."

"You can make do with it here tonight!" Cao Yue smiled, "I will let you sleep in my room, and I will ask someone to replace you with a new bedding, and prepare some supplies, so I will make do with it tonight. Presumably you don't care about these."

"There are two maids from the slave's house!" The red lady looked embarrassed, and her expression was very unnatural when she spoke.

"My room is quite big, and the three of us should be able to settle down!" Seeing that the weather was getting early, Cao Yue also said to the red lady: "How about I ask someone to prepare dinner for you and send it to your room to eat, if not What's the matter, don't leave your room at night."

"Thank you, General Cao." Cao Yue was so considerate, which made the red lady feel even more embarrassed. She didn't know what it was like. She wanted to give up. She really wanted to say goodbye, leave Datong, and give up all plans, but for some reason, she said goodbye Words just can't come out.

Cao Yue also immediately asked people to tidy up his room, add some new bedding, and women's daily necessities.

The red lady's two maids, Ruyi and Xiaoyun, entered Cao Yue's residence very cautiously. In order to avoid trouble, Cao Yue asked Cao Yue to prepare dinner for the three of them separately and send it to their room.After dinner, Cao Yue didn't bother too much, and asked Hong Niangzi, master and servant, to go somewhere earlier.

After Cao Yue left, there were only three Hong Niangzi master and servant left in the bedroom that originally belonged to him.

Ruyi and Xiaoyun have followed the red lady for many years, and their martial arts are very good. The three masters and servants teamed up, and it is not easy for a dozen big men to get close. This is why they sneaked into Li Yan's camp and met the special training team. The reason why those fighters who have undergone rigorous training can achieve victories.

Because they have lived a very special life for many years, and they are very vigilant. After Cao Yue left, Ruyi and Xiaoyun carefully checked the situation inside and outside the room, and did not rest assured until they confirmed that there was nothing unusual.

After returning to the house, they checked the doors and windows again.The windows were closed from the inside, and several cases were moved to block the door of the room.

Seeing the two maids busy with these things in an orderly manner, the red lady sighed and said to the two: "Ruyi, Xiaoyun, don't worry about it, go to rest earlier. Cao Yue will not use any means to deal with us, he is an upright People who don't take the opportunity to do anything to us."

After listening to Hong Niangzi's order, Ruyi and Xiaoyun stopped what they were doing and walked to Hong Niangzi's side.

Ruyi and Xiaoyun looked at each other, and then asked the red lady cautiously: "Ma'am, don't we want to kill Cao Yue this time?"

"Cao Yue is not a dog official, he is a very rare good official." Hong Niangzi corrected Ruyi's remarks seriously, and said with a sigh: "If the officials of Ming Dynasty were like him, then the people would surely live and work in peace and contentment. There is no need to rebel."

It was the first time I heard Hong Niangzi comment on Ruyi and Xiaoyun, a court official. After looking at each other for a while, I was quite puzzled. Helped Cao Yue and started talking.

"Ma'am, why did we sneak into Datong City this time and live in Cao Yue's residence, not to kill him?" Xiaoyun asked suspiciously.When they came to find Cao Yue and lived in Cao Yue's residence, Hong Niangzi didn't explain the ultimate purpose to them, they thought it was to assassinate Cao Yue.Unexpectedly, Hong Niangzi didn't want to kill Cao Yue, which made them very confused.

"Xianggong must be very angry after being defeated this time. Let's find out how Cao Yue defeated him, what secret weapons and tactics the Datong army had, and how the Datong army defeated Jiannu last time. In the first World War, Cao Yue won easily, and the Datong Army had almost no casualties, which is incredible," Hong Niangzi briefly explained the purpose of looking for Cao Yue this time, but she didn't say anything in detail, and immediately changed the topic Passed over: "If the officials in the Ming Dynasty were like Cao Yue, then we could really fight against Jiannu together with the officers and soldiers."

Unknowingly, the red lady was a little bewitched by Cao Yue's remarks. She agreed with Cao Yue's saying that Han people should not fight in the same room, and building slaves is the biggest enemy of Han people. Therefore, in front of her two maids, she couldn't help sighing. said a word.

Ruyi hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help the curiosity in her heart, and asked again: "Madam, general... Did you send to Datong to discuss with Cao Yue about the joint resistance to slavery?"

The red lady shook her head lightly, "No, coming to Datong this time has nothing to do with your husband. Well, you two don't ask any more questions. Today I also strictly tell you that in Datong, you can't have any private matters." Action, all actions must follow my orders, let alone assassinate Cao Yue impulsively, understand? Also, we can't tell anyone about our going to Datong to find Cao Yue, including Xianggong!"

"Yes, ma'am, this servant understands!"
