Chapter 286 Protons in front of the palace gate
The first heavy snow fell in the fourth year of Zhongping, and Dong Mao was whispering to his clothes. Perhaps his movements were a little bit bigger, alarming Li, who was sleeping.
"My husband... it's not dawn yet..."
In a daze, Li held Dong Mao's arm with one hand and supported the bed with the other to sit up, but Dong Mao held her with the backhand.
"It's quite cold. If you are not in good health, don't get up."
Perhaps it was because of the fatigue that had been turning all the way from the Hehuang Valley, or maybe it was a bit unacceptable to the local conditions, or maybe it was because of the Li family in Longxi County surrendering to the enemy and thieves. Not long after Li entered the Luoyang Emperor, she had a serious illness and has not completely recovered...
"Ahem..."
With a series of low coughs, Li shook his head and refused Dong Mao, supporting him to sit up. Seeing her insistence, Dong Mao hesitated for a while, and still touched a robe in the darkness and put it on her.
"Young mom...Young mom..."
Li shouted twice, and a woman agreed clearly through the curtain not far away. Soon, a maid in green clothes walked to the bed with an oil lamp, first lit up the oil lamp on the head of the bed, and went forward to help Dong Mao wear clothes...
Li looked at the young maid for a long time, and after Dong Mao put his clothes neatly and the maid in green clothes left the house to prepare hot water, Li suddenly spoke.
"My husband, I'm afraid I won't live for too long. My husband... Let's find another woman..."
Dong Mao was stunned, pulled her somewhat chilling palm, pinched her for a few breaths before chuckling.
"Does Yi Niang remember how we got married?"
After hearing this, Li's eyes were dazed, as if he had returned to the past, and he saw a little girl who was pouting and a silly boy...
"Yi Niang always thought that marrying her husband was the biggest sin. Later... I realized that her husband was the best husband..."
A fog suddenly appeared in his eyes, and Li blinked twice.
"When my mother is here, I will not allow my father to take a concubine. If my mother does not die, my husband will not allow me!"
"My husband agreed when he married Yimo, but Yimo did not allow him to regret it!"
Dong Mao hurriedly raised his arms with a solemn expression.
"My husband promises! Never take a concubine!"
...
"My husband, Yimo misses Bai'er."
Looking at Dong Mao's eyes for a while, Li's nose became even more sore and he said something distracting, but Dong Mao held her in his arms, his face full of gentleness.
"Don't worry, Huwa will take good care of Bai'er."
Li has been married into the Dong family in Lintao for ten years. He is very clear about the relationship between the two brothers and knows that Dong Hu loves his daughter, so hesitates...
"If Ning'er hadn't been four or five years younger than Bai'er, it would be appropriate for two children..."
"hehe……"
Listening to her saying these words, Dong Mao couldn't help but pat his slender hand in his hand, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
"Apart from Ajie, there is no way to refuse, Da Ya, Kuwai, and San Ya, who is not older than Huwai? Yi Mother really thought Huwai would be willing to let Ning'er marry a 14 or 15-year-old girl?"
"Don't worry, when my husband meets Huwa, he will settle the matter between Bai'er and Ning'er with him. I think my father hopes this more."
After the Li family surrendered to the thief, Li seemed to have completely given up on the Li family. He got sick and felt that he was going to die. The only thing he could not let go was his man and daughter...
"With the tiger baby taking care of Bai'er, Yi Niang... Yi Niang is relieved."
After hearing what she said, Dong Mao felt a sense of sadness in his heart, but he didn't show much on his face. He just smiled and told her some trivial matters. Until the maid in green clothes walked in with a wooden basin, he got up to wash it, ate something casually, and carefully explained some words to the maid to take care of Li, and then left the door.
Dong Mao’s temporary residence in Luoyang was the mansion given to Dong Hu by Guo Sheng. After the person next door was burned by the furious Dong Hu, no one has built a new house until now.
It was snowing heavily in the sky. When Dong Mao came to the front of the mansion, the two strong Liangzhou companions were already waiting with their heads, and the mule was still the docile mule that Dong Hu sent him.
Logically speaking, Dong Mao was just a Yueqi captain who exchanged interests. He was not qualified to enter the Deyang Palace. In fact, this is true. Since he came to Luoyang, except for going to the General's Mansion and the Military Camp in the North of the City every day, he has been staying in the mansion to take care of Li, and being a hostage honestly. He has never had a chance to climb to the Deyang Palace to meet the emperor. Until yesterday, General He Jin asked him to tell him that he would meet the emperor today.
Dong Mao felt something in his heart. It was not the rebellion of the Qiang people in Liangzhou. It should be the rebellion of Zhongshan Prime Minister Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju and the Wuhuan people. He knew it was the same thing, but there was nothing strange on his face. After two people were personally protected, they came to the palace gate. At this time, there were also many carriages in front of the palace gate...
"Brother Yugui!"
Before he could help Dong Mao get off the mule, Cao Cao, wearing a martial arts crown, stepped forward to help, and said with great enthusiasm and "be careful" some words.
After Dong Mao came to Luoyang, he became the Yueqi lieutenant, but he was also a clerk of the General's Mansion and was a colleague of Cao Cao, but the status of the two was very different. The soldiers led by the Yueqi lieutenant had a total of 700 Yueqi, which were good at cavalry among the Yue people in the south. However, these soldiers had long followed Huangfu Song to Meiyang Camp. After Zhang Wen's six-way army was defeated, how many could there be left? That was the way of heaven. In short, the fifth battalion of the Northern Army was just an empty shell, while Cao Cao became the Dianjun lieutenant of the newly established Eighth Camp of the Xiyuan Army, and was engaged in the military law of the Xiyuan Army.
Cao Cao was extremely enthusiastic, and the enthusiastic Dong Mao was a little embarrassed, and his arrival also attracted the attention of many people...
"well……"
Cao Cao helped Dong Mao down the mule, shook his head and sighed again.
"The Qiang Rebellion in Liangzhou has not yet been quelled, and Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju colluded with Wuhuan to rebel..."
Cao Cao smiled bitterly and shook his head, while Dong Mao also looked worried.
"As Brother Meng De said, one wave has not been settled and another wave has risen again. Although you and I are worried about national affairs, I can only sigh helplessly."
Dong Mao sighed softly, Cao Cao frowned slightly, and he was about to continue speaking again. At this moment, a team of armored soldiers walked slowly towards him, guarding a carriage...
"The General is here!"
One of the people suddenly spoke, Dong Mao and Cao Cao punched each other and silently asked him to wait for He Jin to come. Seeing this, Cao Cao had to stand aside...
"General."
As soon as He Jin got off the carriage, Dong Mao and Cao Cao all stepped forward. Yuan Shao, who was like him, was in the crowd. When he saw only three people coming forward, He Jin felt unhappy in no time. He was particularly angry at Jian Shuo's right to seize his own military and horses. He just lowered his fists at the three people and put down his sleeves.
"well!"
"That Cheng Qiu deserves to be damned. Liangzhou suffered a military disaster for two years. It was the time when the people were in trouble. How could he still be so greedy?"
Yuan Shao clasped his fists and said, "As the general said, the country is in trouble, and the people are still so greedy for money. Even if Cheng Qiu is not killed by the thief, he will not escape the severe punishment of the national law!"
He Jin nodded silently, but smiled bitterly in his heart. On that day, he took the opportunity to kill the damn Han Sui, but now he has become like this. Originally, there were several cities in Longxi County and Hanyang County that were still holding on, but now they are all lost. They have been scolded by the emperor several times over the past few days.
When Yuan Shao spoke, Dong Mao and Cao Cao both spoke without saying a word. Both of them knew why Liangzhou had become such a situation.
He Jin was irritated and was about to tell Dong Mao not to talk nonsense in the hall again. A carriage appeared in front of everyone. Just looking at the style of the carriage, everyone knew that it was the Grand Marshal Cui Lie.
One carriage after another came, He Jin had to go forward and get closer to the bosses, while Yuan Shao and Cao Cao followed behind, holding their fists and celebrating people from time to time. Dong Mao had a bad leg and foot, and it was a bit annoying to use a crutch. He didn't follow the two of them and just stood by the road, silently waiting for the central palace eunuch to say something like "open the door, go to the hall"...
"My nephew..."
Dong Mao had poor legs and feet, and he had been accustomed to the role of "marginal man" since he was young. Just as he was stunned and thinking about Dong Hu who ran to the Mobei grassland, he woke him up with a greeting. Only then did he realize that Cui Lie, who was originally polite to He Jin, Xu Xiang, Ding Gong, Yuan Wei and others, was standing in front of him at some point. Not only Cui Lie, but also several big bosses were all standing in front of him.
Seeing so many people standing in front of him, Dong Mao was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly clasped his fists and lowered his body.
"The lower official has met the Grand Marshal."
Perhaps Cui Lie had been serving the emperor for a long time before, and it seemed more friendly than others. Seeing Dong Mao holding his fists with a crutch, he hurriedly reached out to pull him over, and there was a smile on his face.
"My dear nephew is not very good at legs and feet, so I won't need some slight tribute."
As he said that Cui Lie was the same as Cao Cao and He Jin before, and he sighed softly.
"The thieves in Liangzhou have not yet been quelled, and the Wuwan people in Youzhou have rebelled again, and the state affairs are so difficult..."
Cui Lie smiled bitterly and sighed, and the next moment he was a little solemn.
"When the princess goes to Pingcheng..."
Speaking of this, Cui Lie was disappointed with Lu Zhi, Zhang Gong and others. Even if he wanted to create a strong opponent for the boy, there was no need to anger the Wuwan people, right? He was dissatisfied but couldn't say it out, and Cui Lie could only smile bitterly.
"well……"
"Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju colluded with the Wuhuan people in the four counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, Youbeiping, and Yuyang. Tens of thousands of thieves ravaged all over Youzhou. The emperor... The Secretary of Shang Lu said that the Weijun of Dai County, Wuhuan, and the Xiongnu went to fight against the thieves, but at this time, Dong Duwei went to the grassland in Mobei."
Dong Mao knew in summer and autumn that Dong Hu had gone to the Mobei grassland, and even more of the court's dissatisfaction with the "little bastard". Dong Hu was accustomed to rushing to others behind the emptiness. The court made trouble for him on the Wuwan people, so he ran to the Mobei grassland. What else could he do when he ran there? He didn't need to think about it carefully, and he knew that he was planning to poke the sweat mountain from the Mobei grassland.
The little princess ran to Yanmen County and said it was for "peace in the world". Isn't the purpose of hope that Dong Hu could tie the four Kuitou brothers?
