Although Cao Song's motorcade had been traveling for three or four days, as most of the northern part of Langya was mountainous and hilly, the heavy carriages and horses could not move fast at all. At this time, they arrived at the foot of a temple mountain in the southern part of the counties.

Temple Mountain is naturally because there are temples on it.

But this has nothing to do with Buddhism. Temple is a word that has existed in China since ancient times. Its original meaning refers to a place where ancestors are worshipped and worshiped. Hence the word temple name.

"Yuan Rang, I think it's getting late and everyone is tired. Let's take a rest here. It won't be too late to leave tomorrow." Cao Song opened the curtain of the carriage and said to Xiahou Dun, who was guarding him.

Xiahou Dun looked around and saw that there were dense trees on the temple mountain, there were houses where you could stay temporarily, and there was a river at the foot of the mountain where you could stay. He said, "You can camp here, but I'm afraid there will be pursuers behind you. I'll get up early tomorrow and rush on my way to fight for it."

Pass through various counties to Qingzhou in the evening."

"Ah~ Master, I'm almost exhausted. I still have to walk for a few days~"

While he was talking, a very plump face emerged from Cao Song's arms, with a coquettish expression on his face.

Xiahou Dun glanced at it and quickly turned his head away.

It's not because this woman is Cao Song's concubine Jia.

But...this Jia's body shape is even bigger than Xiahoudun's...

If Ma Qiang sees Jia, a fattened version of a famous sketch actor from later generations will definitely appear in his mind.

In Cao Song's words, he is older, and with this in mind, he feels at ease.

"We will arrive in Qingzhou tomorrow. Didn't you always say you wanted to go to the plains before? General Zhenbei and Meng De are good friends. We can have a lot of fun in the plains then." Cao Song patted his love with a doting look on his face.

Concubine, and then waved to Xiahou Dun to lead the team to camp at Miao Mountain.

Naturally, Cao Song did not live in a tent like others. He lived in a temple.

"I didn't expect that this temple actually has some connection with our Cao family." Cao Song looked at the inscription outside the temple that was already covered with spider webs and said while stroking his beard.

"Sir, what's the origin?" Jia asked.

"Our Cao family is derived from the surname Ji. In the past, the emperor of Zhou divided the world, among which the twelve princes such as Lu, Qi, Jin and Qin were the most noble. Our country of Cao was also among them. It was a big country and shared the eastern territory of the dynasty with the country of Lu.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes of the world were fighting, and Cao and Song were at odds. In the 33rd year of King Zhou Jing, Cao was destroyed, and his descendants fled in all directions. In order to commemorate the ancestors, they took Cao as their surname, and those who set up temples here

, which was the branch that escaped at that time.

Let’s go, since we are in the same temple, let’s pay our respects.”

Cao Song asked his servants to light torches, clean the temple that had been built an unknown number of years ago, and gather the soil to make incense, and asked Cao De to bring his children to worship together.

Cao Song knelt down and muttered something.

"My ancestors of the Cao family, please bless my family's Ah Man for a healthy life. Ah Man must have a blood debt on the battlefield. I am old and don't cherish my life. Please transfer all these blood debts to me. As long as Ah Man

If I hide this from Kang Jian, it won’t be a pity even if I die tonight!”

"Sir, why do you say such things?" Jia heard clearly from the side and hurriedly interrupted Cao Song.

"Hey, what do you, a woman, know? In these troubled times, Ah Ma has a lot of troops. As long as he is here, you will be rich and prosperous all your life. Whether I live or die, it doesn't matter to my Cao family anymore."

Suddenly, there was a loud "click" sound above everyone, and a strong wind blew outside. Cao Song looked outside, and Xiahou Dun came in and said, "The weather has changed. It seems like it's going to rain. Let's take a look to see if there are any leaks in the roof."

"Report!" A person ran in, but it was Han Hao. Han Hao raised his hand to Xiahou Dun and said, "Hurry up and report. Xuzhou Qingqi was found five miles south. There are about hundreds of them."

"Hundreds? What does Tao Qian want to do?" Xiahou Dun's face changed drastically. He looked at Cao Song, who had turned pale, and said, "Master, don't panic. We will hold on to the mountain and their cavalry will not be able to kill them easily." After that,

.

"promise!"

The wind outside was getting louder and louder. Xiahou Dun gathered the strong men and sergeants of the Cao family and blocked the carriage on the road up the mountain. Then he himself mounted a horse and blocked the road with a spear in hand.

After a while, I saw a dark group of cavalry in the distance chasing them.

"Whoever comes, stop here! I am the governor of Dongjun, and I am the captain of Zhechong School, Xiahou Dun! I have come to pick up Mr. Cao's family on the orders of Yanzhou Cao Shijun. Who are you!"

Xiahou Dun announced his name first. If the other party attacked again, it would be an obvious declaration of war with Yanzhou.

Zhang Kai came out, illuminated himself with the light of the torch, chuckled and said, "Prefect Xiahou, it's the young general Zhang Kai. Please tell me what happened. Cao Taigong is leaving Xuzhou, why don't he talk to Ambassador Tao?"

Jun said, Tao Shijun thought it was because he did not entertain well and made the grandpa angry.

No, let me bring some gifts as a farewell gift, and I hope Grand Duke Cao will forgive Xuzhou for not providing good hospitality."

After saying that, the sergeants carrying the belongings dismounted one after another and walked forward carrying the gifts on their backs. Zhang Kai smiled flatteringly and stretched out his hand to signal the sergeants to open the gifts, showing that he had no malicious intentions.

Xiahou Dun glanced at Zhang Kai suspiciously, and then said, "In that case, I will leave the gift and you can do what you want."

At this moment, there was a rumble of thunder in the sky, and then a heavy downpour came in an instant. The heavy raindrops almost extinguished the torches of Zhang Kai and others. Zhang Kai looked at the sky, and then looked at what had already happened.

The brother who had become a drowned rat couldn't help but feel hungry and thirsty, so he said, "I don't dare to disturb Taigong Cao's rest. It's just that it's raining heavily today and the road is difficult to walk. I wonder if we can stay overnight in the mountains and forests to take shelter from the rain. It will rain tomorrow."

Stop, we will leave."

There were no horseshoes, it was raining at night, and the road was mountainous. It was really necessary for Zhang Kai to lead the cavalry back. By the time they got back to Mount Tai, less than half of the horses would have been damaged.

Xiahou Dun immediately refused and said, "My grandpa has a female family, how can I be disturbed by you? Please retreat quickly!"

Zhang Kai couldn't help but feel angry after hearing this. He just felt that Xiahou Dun looked down on him. He worked so hard to give you gifts and couldn't even borrow a place to take shelter from the rain. It was really too much!

"Yuan Rang, since we are here to give gifts, let them come up the mountain."

When Xiahou Dun heard this voice, he was so frightened that the hair on his back stood up. He hurriedly looked back and saw Cao Song appearing behind the carriages blocking the road. Han Hao was holding an umbrella next to him, his face covered with blood.

have no choice.

My boss's boss' father ran away faster than a rabbit when he heard that the person coming was to give gifts. What can I do?

I'm desperate too!

Cao Song said with a smile on his face, "Tao Shijun is so polite. He even sent someone to give you gifts. Come on, go up the mountain to take shelter from the rain. Yuan Rang, let me prepare some more tents for the brothers in Xuzhou. Let's see what happens."

tired."
