After hearing Cao Liang's sarcastic words, the young lady looked a little pale and said calmly: "It is true that I have gone too far as a slave. I would like to ask you, sir, for your understanding. I have something urgent to do and I have to go up the mountain. I hope you can forgive me."

It can be convenient."

When Cao Liang saw her saying this, he frowned and looked sad. There seemed to be dazzling eyes in the corners of his eyes, as if he was worried.

Everyone has compassion, not to mention that the person has apologized repeatedly, and Cao Liang is not the kind of person who won't let people get away with things. So Cao Liang asked Afu and Agui to lead the horse away from the mountain path and give it to the carriage.

Teng also comes the same way.

"Thank you, sir." The young lady thanked her in a low voice, turned around and got into the carriage, looking at the mountain halfway up the mountain.

Cao Liang watched the carriage disappear at the end of the mountain road, but a big question mark was drawn in his heart. Which family's young lady is this? What is the purpose of walking in such a hurry, going back and forth in the deserted Beimang Mountain?

?

Cao Liang shook his head gently and laughed secretly. It was just a chance encounter and had nothing to do with him, so why worry about it?

"Little Marquis, it's getting late. It's time for you to go back home. Otherwise, you shouldn't worry Madam." Ah Fu advised him.

Cao Liang raised his head and looked at the sun. In this era, there were no watches or anything like that. Even if there was a sun clock or a clock, it would not be carried with him all the time. He usually relied on the sun to tell the time. According to the position of the sun in the sky, roughly

to judge the time.

Now the shadow of the sun is in the center, it is probably around noon, so it is not early. It is rare for Cao Liang to go out of the city, and he has not had a lot of fun, so how can he go back at this time?

"It's still early, why are you in a hurry?" Cao Liang said dissatisfiedly. Ever since he left the Xiaoqi camp, Afu and Agui had been urging him to return home, which made Cao Liang very upset.

Ah Fu and A Gui were also ordered by the Marquis to protect the young Marquis personally. There might be danger lurking in the wilderness of Beiman Mountain. They had to return to Luoyang City and Gaoling Marquis Mansion.

is the safest.

Cao Liang didn't want to go back, but as it was approaching noon, he was a little hungry. However, apart from the numerous tombs, Beimang Mountain was inaccessible. It was hard to find even a house, let alone a restaurant.

Ah Fu said: "Little Marquis, it's almost noon. Madam must have prepared lunch and is waiting for you to go back to eat. If you don't go back, I'm afraid Madam will be anxious."

Cao Liang glared at him and said: "Eat, just eat. Are you going to starve to death and be reincarnated? I'm not hungry yet, let's talk about it later."

Although Cao Liang said he was not hungry, his stomach growled unsatisfactorily, which made Ah Fu and Ah Gui secretly chuckle, but they did not dare to laugh out loud and held it in as hard as they could.

In order to cover up his embarrassment, Cao Liang shouted: "Master, I'm a little thirsty, go and find some water!"

Ah Fu and Ah Gui looked at each other, wondering where they could find water in these barren mountains and mountains. Even if there was a stream and spring in front of them, they didn't bring the tools to fetch water.

Agui was still sharp-eyed and pointed to the front and said: "Little Marquis, there seems to be a line of smoke in front of me. It must be someone's house. Little Marquis, why don't you go there? Maybe there will be not only water to drink, but also food to eat."

Cao Liang looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, there was a plume of smoke rising from the kitchen.

There is a big difference between cooking smoke and other smoke. If it is a burning fire or a spontaneous mountain fire, the smoke will definitely be billowing and covering the sky and the sun, while the cooking smoke will be a thin line, either straight or curved.

Swaying with the wind, curling up.

Since there was smoke from the kitchen, it must have belonged to someone, so Cao Liang rode his horse and walked along the mountain road. After not walking far, he saw a manor halfway up the mountain.

The manor is not too big, only about a dozen rooms, and most of them are thatched houses, which are very simple.

However, the manor has red willows, green willows and white apricot blossoms, which makes it feel like a paradise.

Cao Liang and Afu Agui dismounted their horses together. Cao Liang stepped forward and knocked on the wood door lightly, shouting: "Is anyone here?"

This firewood door is really made of firewood, with a few dry branches tied together, barely forming a door.

It seems that this family is also very poor. Living in this deserted Beimang Mountain, are they not afraid of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards coming to visit them?

Cao Liang shouted for a long time, and then a boy-like man came over. He looked Cao Liang up and down through the chai door with a pair of wary eyes, and asked: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"

Cao Liang said: "I am from Luoyang City. I came to Beiman Mountain for a trip today. I am a little thirsty and want to ask for a bowl of water. I would like to ask this little brother to help me."

The boy did not open the door for Cao Liang, but gave him a sideways glance and said, "You are thirsty and want to drink water? There are many springs and streams under the mountain. There is still a shortage of water there. It is obviously for ulterior motives. My husband gave orders.

No, I won’t be able to see you, sir, please come back!"

Cao Liang suddenly felt depressed. Why was he so unlucky today? He was scolded by a maid just now, and now he was rejected by a doorman. After all, he was also a young marquis. In terms of official position, he was also a dignified seventh-grade official.

What does it mean to be despised by others again and again?

"Who is your husband?"

The doorman glanced at me suspiciously and said, "You don't even know my husband, so you dare to come and harass me?"

Cao Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This doorman is too conceited. Is it possible that your master is really famous?

"I really don't know the name of the owner of your mansion. I just pass by here occasionally and want to ask for a bowl of water to quench my thirst."

The doorman hesitated for a moment and said: "A bowl of water is nothing, but you really didn't come here to see Mr. Sir? Mr. Sir has given instructions not to meet anyone who comes from the capital."

Cao Liang was really defeated by his naivety, and said speechlessly: "Little brother, didn't I just tell you that I don't know your master's name at all, so how can I talk about visiting you? So be it,

You bring three bowls of water, we will drink and then leave."

The doorman was doubtful, but he still opened the door and said, "Okay, you three just stand here and I'll bring you water." After that, he went down first.

Ah Fu had already suppressed his anger and said: "Little Marquis, this doorman is too rude, why do you need to be so respectful? If it were me, I would have slapped him twice, and by the way...

His arrogant master has also dealt with it, let’s see if they still dare to treat you lightly.”
