Ten miles outside Dongjun City, outside a military camp under the Cao banner, Gan Mei wiped the sweat off her face, exhausted.
She had walked all the way here from her residence in the city.
It had been six days, and she could not wait any longer.
She had also tried to enter the Cai Residence, but the guards at the entrance did not allow her to get close.
Left with no other choice, he could only run to the military camp.
"I want to see General Xu Chu. I'm a servant girl of the Xu Manor. I have something important to tell you.”
A few guards at the main gate sized up Gan Mei. After confirming that she was harmless, they relaxed their vigilance and asked,
"Do you have the lord's token?"
He even needed a token to look for Xu Chu?
Gan Mei obviously didn't.
"The military camp is an important place. How can you come here as you please? Hurry up and retreat. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!”
Seeing that Gan Mei could not take out the token, the guard directly ordered her to leave.
This made Gan Mei extremely anxious.
"I beg you, General. Go and inform General Xu Chu that something big has happened to my master and he needs his help!”
"No!"
No matter how anxious Gan Mei was, these guards were trained by Xu Chu and Zhao Yun. They would never overstep their boundaries without receiving military orders.
Just as Gan Mei was crying out for help, the sound of hooves came from behind.
"General Zhao, General Zhao, save me, General Zhao!”
Gan Mei shouted desperately as if she had grabbed onto a life-saving straw.
"You are…"
Zhao Yun reined in the reins and hesitated for a moment before asking,"Are you a girl who joined the army, Xiao Mei?”
He remembered now. It was the little girl he had saved on the lone mountain that day.
"Yes! It's me, General Zhao. My master is in trouble. Please take me to General Xu. My master is still waiting for him to save his life!”
Gan Mei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Is there a danger to your life in the army?
Zhao Yun frowned and jumped down from the jade lion. She pointed at the guard beside her and said sternly,
"Quick, go and find General Xu!"
"Yes!"
Then, he helped Gan Mei up and asked,
"Xiao Mei, don't worry. Xu Chu will be here soon.”
At this moment, Zhao Yun was also a little confused.
What kind of person was Xu Chuan? He was not only Xu Chu's younger brother, but he also treated her with the same kindness.
Without Xu Chuan, Zhao Yun would not be where she was today.
However, he could not understand why Xu Chuan was in danger when he was in the city.
Could it be that he had accidentally offended the lord?
Even so, with his and Xu Chu's contributions, there was no need to execute him.
Not long after, Xu Chu rushed over.
"Girl, why aren't you at home taking care of my brother? What are you doing here?”
"Master Xu, it's my fault. I couldn't stop Master. He…"
"He said he was going out to do something six days ago, but he hasn't come back yet." Gan Mei choked.”
"Before he left, he said that if he didn't go out, the disease would endanger the entire East County. So I suspect that Master has gone to the Cai Mansion.”
" What?!"
Xu Chu and Zhao Yun exclaimed at the same time.
Cai Manor?
Cai Yong, who was infected with the sores, lived there!
Now that he had been gone for six days without any news, he was afraid…
At the thought of this, Xu Chu immediately mounted his green horse and rushed into the city.
"Zhongkang, I'll go with you!"
Zhao Yun also jumped onto the jade lion.
"Zilong, you stay in the camp and train your soldiers. We'll all leave. If the enemy forces force their way in, we won't be able to explain to the lord!”
No matter how silly Xu Chu was, he knew that this was his family matter.
He was going there to bring Xu Chuan out of the Cai Residence. Even if Cao Cao would not agree, just the wounds inside were enough to kill him.
He did not want Zhao Yun to take the risk with him.
"Zhongkang, joining the army is not only your brother, he is also my savior.”
"Moreover, in my heart, I also treat him as my own younger brother. If we go together, our words will carry more weight in front of the lord!”
Zhao Yun waved her silver spear with a stern expression.
"Good brother, let's go!"
Xu Chu nodded heavily, and the two of them sped off.
After rushing into East County, Xu Chu did not go to meet Cao Cao. Instead, he went straight to the Cai Residence.
He didn't want to wait any longer.
At this moment, there were several hundred more soldiers at the gates of the Cai Residence, and Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong were now guarding the gates.
"Why is Zhongkang here?"
Cao Hong thought that this news must have reached Xu Chu's ears.
"I want to go in and bring my brother home.”
Xu Chu glanced at the Cai Residence and said coldly.
"Do you have the lord's orders?"
"No, I haven't."
"Zhongkang, when the lord gave the order that day, you were by the side. Don't make things difficult for your brother.”
Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan did not want to stop Xu Chu.
However, Cao Cao had already given a strict order, so they had to obey.
"Since that's the case, don't blame me for not remembering our former comrades.”
Xu Chu had already expected this outcome. He swung his shining steel broadsword, and his killing intent suddenly increased.
Zhao Yun, who was beside him, also raised her silver spear slightly. Her hands were clenched tightly, and her entire face was extremely cold.
Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan could only clench their weapons and stare at Xu Chu and Zhao Yun.
The entrance of the Cai Residence was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and a great battle was about to break out.
"Stop!"
A tiger's roar came from behind.
"Greetings, my lord!"
Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, and the hundreds of armored soldiers knelt on one knee and bowed.
When Cao Cao arrived, Xu Chu had no choice but to put away his steel broadsword. He jumped off his green horse and walked to Cao Cao. He knelt on one knee and said,
"My lord, this has nothing to do with Zilong. He was forced to come back by me. Please don't vent your anger on him!”
"No, my lord, I came back with Zhongkang voluntarily. If my lord wants to blame someone, blame me.”
The two of them knelt in front of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao snorted and laughed,"What are you snatching?" Did I say I was going to punish him?"
Yan Shuhai helped Xu Chu and Zhao Yun up. After taking a deep breath, he finally made up his mind.
"Let's go. I'll go in with you.”
This…
Xu Chu could not believe his ears and was stunned.
He had disobeyed the military order first, but not only did Cao Cao not punish him, but he was also willing to take the risk to enter the Cai Residence.
Guilt pierced deep into his heart like thorns.
In this life, she had followed the right person!
"Big brother, you can't!"
"Absolutely not!"
Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan both came forward to block him.
Cao Cao coldly said,"Move aside."”
"Big brother, if you really want to go in, then step over my dead body!”
Cao Hong knew how important Xu Chuan was.
He also knew that everything that had happened today was all thanks to him, but in the end, the Cai Residence was too dangerous.
He could not let Cao Cao take such a risk.
