Chapter 14 14. A wave of ups and downs and another wave

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the car pass thirty miles west of Qiao County, and vaguely saw that it was at the gate of his own village. Unexpectedly, before entering the village, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Stop! Stop!" Cao Cao immediately looked back - it turned out to be Qin Yilu! Qin Yilu came galloping on a horse, travel-stained, his eyes were bloodshot, and he almost fell off his horse when he got close. He must have been traveling day and night without rest since he set off from Luoyang. "What's the matter? Any news?" "Wow..." Qin Yilu grinned and cried.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Everyone raised their hearts to their throats. Qin Yilu wiped away tears, his face was covered with dirt, almost mixed with mud, sobbing: "The fourth master died in prison..." There was a bang in Cao Cao's head - the fourth uncle is dead!Let go of the dead and focus on the living first: "How about my father and second uncle?" Qin Yilu supported himself and stood up. He galloped all the way, his thighs were worn out, and he sobbed with pain: "It's okay for the master, but the second master is very ill. I can't take care of it alone. The house in Luoyang was taken care of by the court. Take it, the second elder rented a small house in the west of the city, and the fourth master's body has nowhere to stay, it's still in prison! We must hurry to the funeral and bring the fourth master back."

Cao Cao's mind was in confusion at the moment: the fourth uncle had only one son and one daughter, and the daughter was married to Song Qi, who died with the Song family.The only son died when he was the prefect of Wujun, leaving behind a posthumous son, Cao Xiu, who was still in his arms when he was too young, so his grandson could not be counted on. But Bian Bing reminded him with one sentence: "Brother Zilian must be sent to the funeral. He is the nephew of the fourth uncle, so he must go." In terms of relationship, Cao Hong had to go. "Yes, yes, yes... I won't go into the village anymore, Brother Lao will go and tell Zilian." Cao Cao said blankly, looking ahead.

Bian Bing shook his head: "Brother-in-law, are you really confused? I only heard from you, but I don't know him! I asked him to talk about this, what's the matter? You have to go in person." "How do I get there?" Cao Cao's tears flowed down, "As soon as I entered the village, everyone knew that my fourth uncle is gone. How can I explain to my seventh uncle? He is still sick. !" "Let me go." Qin Yilu didn't say much, and hurried into the village on horseback. At this moment, everyone was silent, even Huan'er didn't say a word, they stood alone in the cold wind dazedly.Everyone knows that the fate of the Cao family is not optimistic.

After a short time, Qin Yilu brought Cao Hong out, and Cao De and Xiahou brothers also followed.Obviously it's been many years since I saw each other, but at this moment, I'm not in the mood to talk about it.Cao Hong had already packed up his things, leading the horse and carrying a small bundle. Cao De said emphatically, "Ah, we have to bring daddy and second uncle back. Zixiao is in Huainan, and he won't be back within a day or two." But the journey was far away, and his younger brother Cao Chun was too young to follow him. "You must be tired? I'll go with Zilian."

"Not tired! I have to take care of this matter. You have to take care of Seventh Uncle and Fourth Uncle. Tell him slowly." Cao Cao pointed to the Bian siblings again, "These siblings still have to deal with each other. You take care of them, but if you want to take them home, tell your sister-in-law all about these years!" He said and glanced at Bian. "Husband, don't worry, I will respect my sister." Mrs. Bian nodded to him. "I'm absolutely assured of you...Yilu and Louyi, you two will rest for two days, then take the car and set off to bring the old man back. Zilian and I will leave now, and we will be solid every day!"

"Wait!" Xiahou Dun called him suddenly, "Meng De is too tired, I'll go with you, and I'll take care of you on the way." Cao Cao wanted to stop him, but suddenly remembered the real relationship between him and himself. His father was also his uncle!I haven't seen him in nearly twenty years, so it's good to take him with you.At this moment, silence is better than sound. Cao Cao, Cao Hong, and Xiahou Dun got on their horses and rushed to Luoyang again and again.Cao Cao felt very tired to go to the funeral without entering the house, but now he was supported by a fire in his heart.Even if there are thousands of grievances, father and son are united...
