Chapter 159 Cui Hong recalls the incident
It’s the festival, everyone has a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
------------------------------------
Cui Hong just woke up at this time, held his head with one hand and said weakly: "I, I am, what's wrong?"
When Cui An saw that his father woke up, he quickly grabbed his hand, "Dad, dad, it's me!"
When Cui Hong saw Cui An, he was very surprised, "You, you are An'er, you are not dreaming, right? An'er, I thought I would never see you again in this life!"
As he said that, he couldn't help but burst into tears. After all, he hadn't seen him for more than eleven years. Cui Hong really missed his only son, and the one who was most worried was Cui An. He didn't expect to see Cui An again.
"Me, where am I?"
Cui Hong realized at this time that this place was a place he was not familiar with. Thinking about it, if he was still in Guangzong, how could he see his son? I don’t know why he got here, but I only remember that Tang Zhou sent someone to invite him very late, saying that there was something important to discuss. He didn’t want to go, but then he thought that it must be something important to invite him so late. After arriving at Tang Zhou’s residence, Tang Zhou asked him to drink a drink and didn’t know what it was, but he didn’t know what happened next.
Ma Chao also hurried forward and said to Cui Hong on the couch: "Sir, you are finally awake!"
Chen Dao quietly retreated when Cui Hong woke up because he knew very well that it was best to leave everything to his lord and Cui On at this time.
Cui Hong looked at Ma Chao. He felt that the person in front of him was particularly familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he was extremely excited, "You, you are, Chao'er, is Chao'er you?"
It is said that when Cui Hong left Maoling, Ma Chao was only five years old, but now it has been more than eleven years. It is actually difficult for him to recognize Ma Chao who appeared. However, no matter how Ma Chao changes, there is one thing on his body that has never changed before, that is his eyes. Yes, it is his eyes, and Cui Hong was particularly impressed. The eyes that were not like children, should be said to be eyes that only adults have, but they are still there.
"Sir, it's me, it's Chao'er!" Ma Chao also answered excitedly.
"Chao'er, it's really you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Hong smiled bitterly. He was crying and laughing at this moment. People who don’t know thought this person was abnormal. As for why Cui Hong smiled bitterly, it was because he entrusted his son to Ma Chao at the beginning. Now that he has seen Cui An, then the one next to him is Ma Chao. I should have thought of these things for a long time, so do you still have to ask?
"Oh, it seems that this is Han Camp!"
Cui Hong didn't say anything else, but sighed first. Of course, he knew Ma Chao's current identity very well, but he never expected that he was in Han camp. Although his son and the student had no malice, the two sides were in a hostile relationship and would never stop until they died.
"Dad, you don't have to join the Yellow Turban Army if you can't eat. Our Han army is much fuller than theirs!"
Cui An didn't want his father to be in the Yellow Turban Army anymore, so he quickly spoke.
When Cui Hong heard this, his nose was almost irritated. He thought that it had been more than ten years, but why did his stupid son not make any progress at all? It was really uneasy.
Ma Chao could not say anything like Cui An, and he said to Cui Hong: "Sir, please listen to the students' words. Now Zhang Jiao is seriously ill, and Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban Army are at the end of their strength. It can be said that the situation is over. Do you have to make peace with me..."
Before Ma Chao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cui Hong. He waved his hand and said to Ma Chao and Cui An: "You don't understand, you don't understand! You won't understand!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Chao thought to himself that there was something hidden behind this. It is impossible for Mr. Cui to see the current situation, but it is all like this. Mr. Cui is still in the Han camp and in the Yellow Turban. Ma Chao can see all these. What is good about that horn that can make the gentleman like this?
"I dare to ask sir, what is the virtue of that horn? Is it worthy of sir?"
Cui Hong shook his head, "Help me get up first!"
Ma Chao and Cui An quickly helped Cui Hong up. It seemed that Mr. Cui had a lot to say to them, so he could not lie on the couch anymore.
After sitting up, Cui Hong asked Ma Chao first: "Chaoer, what do you think is the most difficult thing in the world?"
After hearing this, Ma Chao's eyes flashed. What is the hardest thing in the world to return? "Mr. Is it a favor?"
Cui Hong nodded, "Almost, to me, it's a kindness!"
At this time, Cui Hong seemed to be trapped in memory. Ma Chao looked at him and nodded thoughtfully.
"The reason I joined Taipingdao is because Zhang Jiao has great kindness to me. The ancients said, "The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water." So even if I knew he would be like this, I would have no hesitation!"
After Ma Chao heard this, he finally understood Cui Hong. After all, even for an ordinary person, he would think about how to repay him, let alone a literati like Cui Hong who is well-read about the books of sages. So even if he rebelled with his benefactor, he had no complaints.
"That was a long time ago, one day, I was..."
Then, Cui Hong talked about the various things he met with Zhang Jiao, and Ma Chao and Cui An had to sigh after hearing this.
-----------------------------------------------
It was one day more than 20 years ago, and there was no Cui An at that time. Cui Hong had just resigned from Bingzhou and returned to his hometown in Maoling, Fufeng. On this day, three people came to Cui Hong's home...
When Cui Hong saw these three people, he finally fainted. This is not to say that these three people are doing so, but the three of them are carrying one person, which is Cui Hong's father. But what he didn't expect was that his father had already disappeared at this time, and the two of them were separated forever.
The three of them quickly woke Cui Hong up, and Cui Hong was obviously deeply hit and asked weakly: "Three, what's going on? Why is my father and why is this?" As he said that, he couldn't help but cry.
One of the three said at this time: "The three of us brothers are from Julu, my name is Zhang Jiao, he is Zhang Bao, and this is Zhang Liang. This is the case..."
So Zhang Jiao told Cui Hong about the cause and effect of the matter. The three brothers Zhang Jiao went to Bingzhou to buy horses, and after the purchase, they encountered this incident on the way back to Jizhou. At that time, the three of them passed by a relatively remote place, saying that they were remote, but in fact they were just walking away. There were traces of fighting in front of them, and there were more than a dozen corpses on the way, which seemed to be like this after the caravan was robbed by bandits.
Zhang Liang was the most bold and curious, so he hurried forward to check it out.
"Brother, there is still someone here!" He shouted at Zhang Jiao after he found that someone had a breath.
Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao quickly urged him to move forward. After getting off the horse, both of them heard Zhang Liang ask about the person who was still alive.
Zhang Liang asked, "Speak whatever you have, we will definitely help you!"
At this time, the three brothers Zhang Jiao were still young, and the three of them were not like this now. At that time, Zhang Jiao was upright and willing to stand up for the wrongs. He was kind-hearted when he encountered someone who had any difficulties, and he would never help him if he could help. Although Zhang Bao had no great skills, he was loyal to his friends and had no complaints. As for Zhang Liang, this person liked to meddle in other people's business the most. No matter what the matter was, as long as he met, he wanted to manage it, and it would not be possible.
At this time, all three of them realized that the man who was still angry was too seriously injured and could not be rescued, so he could only ask if he had any unfulfilled wishes at this time.
I heard the man weak and hard to say, "Thank you... Mao... Ling, my son... Cui... Hong..." After that, this person died.
The three of them understood what he meant, which meant to notify Cui Hong of Maoling from all these things. Cui Hong should be his son. The three of them quickly cleaned the place and could see that the others were servants, and they should be guards, and only the one who had the tone just now was the master. The three brothers Zhang Jiao buried the bodies of the others and left Cui Hong's father's body.
"Let's go, let's go to Maoling!" Zhang Jiao said to Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.
"Okay, let's go!" Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang said in unison.
So the three of them took Cui Hong's father's body to Maoling and found Cui Hong. Cui Hong was puritan and then went to Bingzhou to become an official. He could be said to be a well-known person in the local area, so the three of them finally found his residence without much effort.
After Cui Hong finished listening to Zhang Jiao's words, his eyes turned red. The revenge of killing his father was irreconcilable. His father died in an accident and was killed by the hands of bandits. As a son of man, this revenge must be avenged. Thinking of this, he was like leaving home to seek revenge from the bandits.
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Jiao asked.
Seeing Cui Hong like this, he wanted to go directly to find the bandits. Zhang Jiao even found it funny. First of all, Cui Hong didn't know where the place was. Even if he found it, he could avenge his revenge with those two moves? This is a joke.
Seeing that Cui Hong didn't say anything, Zhang Jiao continued to ask: "Are you looking for revenge on the bandits?"
Cui Hong nodded and Zhang Jiao smiled, "Just because of you? I didn't underestimate you. I guess you haven't even killed a chicken!"
Cui Hong's face turned red when he heard this. Zhang Jiao was right. He had never even killed a chicken. Now let alone killing a bandit.
Zhang Jiao shook his head, "Look, you are also a person who has read books, why are you still so impulsive and so unwise? I think you should calm down first!"
"Brother Jiao, I..."
Zhang Jiao waved his hand and said slowly: "Not to mention you are a scholar who is powerless. Even if we three brothers are added, it will be difficult to find revenge on the bandits. Don't be impatient. I think this matter needs to be discussed for a long time!"
"Oh, just follow Brother Jiao's words!" Cui Hong also knew that he was impulsive, and Zhang Jiao was right at all.
In the end, the four of them discussed together for a long time and agreed that with the power of the four people, it was impossible to be enemies with all the bandits, that is, it was impossible to destroy all the bandits on the mountain village. So now we can only settle for the second best. It is enough to kill the leader of the bandits. The three brothers Zhang Jiao had already inquired when they arrived. There were three leaders in the mountain village, so as long as they killed the three of them, they were considered revenge.
So the four of them set out from Maoling and returned to the place where something happened. They were about to get into the mountain village when it was dark and then take action. To be honest, what the four of them had to do was very risky. But they were very lucky. Why did they say that? It was because the bandits robbed Cui Hong's father at that time, which was a great reward, and it was more than half a year. The boss of the village was happy and asked the whole mountain village to celebrate for five days. As a result, the night they took action was the last fifth night.
By the evening, most of the people were drunk, so the four of them easily got into the parcel and finally killed all three masters. The four of them escaped from the parcel very smoothly. Not to mention that many people were drunk, as the so-called "the tree fell and the money was scattered", all three masters died, and more than a hundred people in the parcel thought of themselves, but few people really wanted to avenge the masters, so the four people escaped smoothly.
From then on, Cui Hong owed the great kindness of Zhang Jiao's three brothers, and he never forgot to repay him. Until more than ten years ago, Zhang Jiao sent someone to invite Cui Hong, but because Cui Hong wanted to teach Ma Chao, it took two years to delay. It was not until after Ma Chao left the army that he went to find Zhang Jiao.
Before, he didn't know very well what Zhang Jiao was going to do, but he vaguely felt that it was not a good thing. But afterwards, he had no strange intentions. He owed the three brothers Zhang Jiao as much as he was. Even if he saved his life, it would be fine. As long as his son was fine, Cui Hong never thought about leaving the Taiping Road and leaving the Yellow Turban Army. But today he was actually in the Han camp, just as his son and his students, he finally felt a little shaken.
