Three Kingdoms King of the North

"There is no need to talk about Zhaoji, this matter is only for the Marquis." At this point, Han Zhan let go of Cai Yan, opened the curtain to block the wind, and said to Xia Houlan who had just arrived beside the carriage: "Xia Houlan, Bring the Huang family brothers here, and this Marquis will personally interrogate them."

Xia Houlan agreed, and ordered people to see the Huang family brothers to bring them here, and at the same time asked: "My lord, the Fengji dog thief is also among the criminals, do you want to bring him here too?"

"No need," Han Zhan waved his hand at Xia Houlan and said, "Fengji's thieves are full of crimes, and their crimes cannot be punished. As soon as they return to Yecheng, this Marquis will tear him into pieces. It's okay if we don't see him now."

The Huang family brothers, whose hands were tied behind their backs, were escorted to kneel down in front of Han Zhan soon.Han Zhan jumped off the carriage, came to the two with his hands behind his back, snorted coldly, and asked, "Are you brothers Huang An and Huang Shi from Huangjiazhuang?"

"It's the villain," Huang An heard Han Zhan's question, and quickly replied, "The villain accidentally offended Ms. Cai and Tinghou's Huwei. Please also ask Master Tinghou to spare a lot of my brothers and sisters." Zhuang Ding's life."

Han Zhan snorted coldly, and continued: "I will explain to Ben Hou in detail how you kidnapped Miss Cai. If it is not true, not only your brothers and these Zhuang Ding will lose their lives, but even the Huang family will be killed." I will also leave no chickens or dogs behind."

Huang An was frightened by Han Zhan's words, so he hurriedly told how his two brothers left Huangjiazhuang and went to Cai Yong's cemetery to worship at Cai Yong's cemetery. Instigated by Feng Ji, he led people into the cemetery, hijacked Cai Yan, and told Han Zhan in detail.

After Huang An finished speaking, not only Han Zhan, but even Cai Yan who was sitting in the carriage finally understood the reason for the hijacking incident.In the carriage, Cai Yan whispered to Han Zhan outside the carriage: "Tinghou, the two of them were instigated and deceived by Feng Ji, why don't you just let them go."

Although Han Zhan understood that the Huang family brothers were tools used by Fengji, it was precisely because they were helping the evildoers that Cai Yan was kidnapped.If they were really let go like this lightly, Han Zhan would not be reconciled in his heart.Fortunately, he had a lot of ideas, and when he rolled his eyes, he immediately thought about it.

Seeing Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and others, he rode his horse up to the front, and hurriedly told Xia Houlan: "Xiahoulan, order someone to untie the two of them, and give them each a weapon."

Xia Houlan was confused by Han Zhan's order.He asked puzzledly: "My lord, why do you give them two weapons?"

Han Zhan sneered and said, "Don't say too much, just hand over the weapons to the two of them quickly."

Xia Houlan had no choice but to order his soldiers to untie the two brothers of the Huang family and give them each a knife.

Seeing that the two brothers had weapons in their hands, Han Zhan said, "Feng Ji is the mastermind of the hijacking of Zhao Ji, and the two of you are accomplices. According to the law of the great Han, both of you will die. But this Hou Fawai is merciful, and only one person will be killed. You two brothers can only live one, and whoever kills the other will survive."

As soon as Han Zhan's words came out of his mouth, not only the surrounding soldiers were stunned, but even the Huang brothers who were involved were also dumbfounded.After a while, I saw that the two hadn't started fighting yet.Han Zhan yelled suddenly: "If you don't do it again, the two of you will chop it off together."

Hearing what Han Zhan said, Huang Shi threw the weapon in his hand to the ground, and said loudly to Huang An who was facing him, "Brother, this happened because of my younger brother. My younger brother petitioned for death to apologize. Please do it." After finishing speaking, he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed respectfully to Huang An, and said, "In the future, I will ask my elder brother to take care of my father's retirement."

After Huang An heard this, he shook his head again and again, and said, "Second brother's words are wrong. My brother is my elder brother. How can I kill my own brother?" He suddenly put the knife on his neck, and said to Huang Shi, "Second brother, since my brother dies today, I will entrust you with taking care of my parents in the future."

"Brother, you can't, you can't." Huang Shi, who was kneeling on the ground, put Huang An's gleaming waist knife on his neck, made a gesture of wiping his neck at any time, and hurriedly cried, "This is all my brother's moment. I was confused, and ended up being used by the thieves. If you have to die, let the younger brother die." He said, grabbed the waist knife that was thrown on the ground, and put it around his neck, "Brother, we will die again in the next life." Let's be brothers." After speaking, he wiped the knife hard on his neck, trying to kill himself before Huang An.

With a sound of "ding dong", the weapon in Huangshi's hand fell to the ground.Although the knife was gone, he was still instinctively repeating the movement of wiping his neck in his hand, which made the soldiers around him burst into laughter.Han Zhan could see clearly that just when Huang Shi was trying to commit suicide, it was Zhao Yun who was standing behind him who shot in time, and used the spear in his hand to fly the weapon in his hand, saving his life.

Seeing that the weapon in his hand was gone, Huang Shi looked at Han Zhan angrily: "This incident happened because of me. I petition to apologize with death, and ask Lord Ting to spare the lives of my brother and many Zhuang Ding."

Looking at this reckless but affectionate young man, Han Zhan grinned, and then told Xia Houlan: "Take away their weapons, and then untie those Zhuang Ding. As for whether they should go back to Huangjiazhuang, or go back Yecheng, it’s up to them.” After speaking, Han Zhan got on his horse, raised the whip in his hand, and said loudly: “Let’s go back to Yecheng.”

The two brothers of the Huang family stood on the side of the road, and they were a little dazed when they saw the formation of soldiers passing in front of them.He originally thought that his life was in danger, but who knew that Han Tinghou would let him go so easily.When the two were in a daze, the Zhuang Ding of Huangjiazhuang ran over leading the horses, calling young master in a hurry.

Huang An glanced at Han Zhan in the distance, and said to Huang Shi and all Zhuang Ding: "Master Han Tinghou has a lot, and he doesn't want to argue with us, but we can't just walk away like this."

"That's right, we can't just leave like this." Huang Shi, who had escaped from death, suddenly realized at this moment, and he said to Huang An: "Brother, since Han Tinghou didn't kill us, he probably won't make things difficult for us in the future, how about Let's go to Yecheng."

"Brother has this intention." In Huang An's mind, although Han Zhan let him go, if he didn't apologize to the other party in person, his conscience would not be able to get over it, so he said decisively: "Let's set off for Yecheng now." .”

On the way to Yecheng, Huang Shi proposed to Huang An: "Brother, let's go to Yecheng, do you think you can send someone back to report to father so that he won't worry?"

"Wait a little longer," Huang An waved his hand and said, "After we settle down in Yecheng, it's not too late to send someone back to the village to report."

"Brother, what are your plans for the future?" Huang Shi continued to ask: "When the matter of Yecheng is known, will you stay in Yecheng or return to Huangjiazhuang?"

"I heard that Xun Yu, uncle and nephew Xun You are all in Yecheng at the moment." Huang An said unhurriedly: "Brother, I plan to learn art from the two of you. When I have completed my studies, I will return to Huangjiazhuang." Not too late."

"Since the eldest brother wants to worship the two Mr. Xun as teachers, the younger brother naturally can't just go back to Huangjiazhuang." Huang Shi echoed: "Why don't we worship the two gentlemen together?"

"That's very good." Huang An nodded, and said, "I just don't know if these two Mr. Xun are willing to accept you and my brother as disciples."

Hearing what Han Zhan said, Huang Shi threw the weapon in his hand to the ground, and said loudly to Huang An who was facing him, "Brother, this happened because of my younger brother. My younger brother petitioned for death to apologize. Please do it." After finishing speaking, he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed respectfully to Huang An, and said, "In the future, I will ask my elder brother to take care of my father's retirement."

Chapter 256

When Han Zhan had dinner with Cai Yan in the tent, he asked her in detail about the whole process of Fuling's return to Chenliu and how to bury Cai Yong.After Han Zhan finished listening, he looked at Cai Yan and asked, "Zhaoji, if it weren't for your auspiciousness this time, I'm afraid I'll never see you again, why don't you go back to Ye City with me to live forever?" ,how?"

Although Cai Yan also wanted to go back to Yecheng with Han Zhan, he hesitated when he thought that his father's tomb was left unattended in Chenliu.She shook her head slowly and said, "Father's tomb is still in Chenliu. If Zhao Ji returns to Yecheng with Marquis Ting, people will probably criticize her. Why don't Marquis Ting send the concubine back to Chenliu tomorrow so that concubine I will continue to guard my father's tomb."

Han Zhan thought that Cai Yan in history was abducted by the Huns, and he worried that if he was released back to Chenliu, history might repeat itself.Therefore, he shook his head bluntly at Cai Yan's proposal, and then said: "Zhaoji, I know that you are filial to guard your father's tomb. But now that the world is in chaos, you, a weak girl, have returned to Chenliu. I'm afraid I don't have the power to protect myself. This time the Marquis can rescue you in time, if a similar situation happens again next time, who will save you? In my opinion, Zhao Ji should go back to Yecheng with the Marquis?"

After Han Zhan's repeated persuasion, Cai Yan finally stopped insisting on going back to Chen Liushou's tomb.But she put forward two conditions to Han Zhan: "Marquis Ting, it is not impossible to ask Zhaoji to accompany you back to Yecheng, but you must first agree to two conditions."

"What conditions does Zhao Ji have, just tell me." Han Zhan knew that Cai Yan would never embarrass himself, so he said carelessly: "Don't mention two conditions, even if it is twenty conditions, as long as it is within the range of my lord's ability. , will also help Zhaoji to do it properly."

"One, Marquis Ting please send someone to Chenliu's Cai Mansion immediately to inform my uncle that my concubine has successfully escaped danger." Cai Yan stretched out a finger and said, "So that the whole family does not worry about my concubine's safety."

"Reporting to the Cai Mansion is a matter of course. Ben Hou sent someone there overnight." Seeing that Cai Yan proposed such a simple condition, Han Zhan hurriedly agreed, "Zhaoji will talk about the second condition."

"The second condition," Cai Yan stretched out his second finger and said, "Every year during the Cold Food Festival, please go to Chenliu with my concubine to pay homage to my father."

Knowing that the Cold Food Festival is a day or two before Qingming Festival, Han Zhan nodded his head and said, "This is the filial piety that a man and a child should do. There is no reason why this Marquis should not allow it."

After negotiating the conditions for going to Yecheng, Cai Yan got up, walked out from behind the table, knelt down beside Han Zhan, and asked softly: "Tinghou, I heard that you have released Huang Zhan. The two sons of the family, they brought Zhuang Ding to follow behind the army, how do you plan to deal with them?"

"How else can I deal with it?" According to Han Zhan's personality, he really wanted to chop up the Huang family brothers one by one, but since Cai Yan interceded on their behalf, he could only show mercy outside the law and send the two brothers and Zhuang Ding away. gone. "I let them go, whether to go or stay, it's up to you."

Cai Yan took Han Zhan's arm, rested his head on his shoulder, and continued, "Tinghou, when the brothers of the Huang family came to worship in front of my father's tomb, my concubine once heard that the eldest son Huang An occasionally mentioned that he His uncle is a famous scholar in Miannan. If Marquis Ting wants to achieve supremacy, he might as well send someone to recruit him."
