Chenliu wasn't far from Xuchang, but Bai Feng didn't bring a single soldier with him. He only brought Li Cunxiao and Cai Yan.
The three of them rode on three horses, so the journey was quite fast.
As for Qin Liangyu and Li Yuanba, Bai Feng left them with the army.
The remaining five thousand soldiers were already on standby, and Cao Cao had already agreed to make these five thousand soldiers his personal army.
These five thousand soldiers could be considered brothers who had gone through fire and water with him, but they were still somewhat weak.
With Qin Liangyu and Li Yuanba supervising the training of the soldiers and Cao Ren volunteering to help, Bai Feng could rest easy.
As for this journey, Li Cunxiao alone would be enough.
Just as the three of them were about to leave the city, they heard the sound of galloping horses behind them.
"Teacher! Teacher, wait for me! "
An urgent voice sounded. Bai Feng turned to look at the source of the voice.
It was Cao Chun!
When Cao Chun saw that Bai Feng had stopped, he reined in his horse and slowly walked up to Bai Feng.
Panting, he said, "I heard that Teacher was going to send Miss Cai Yan to Chenliu.
"Although Teacher is skilled in martial arts and doesn't need to bring soldiers, only one guard …
"This journey can be said to be extremely dangerous!
"Chenliu is not like Xuchang. There are many bandits nearby. Although Teacher isn't afraid, what if something happens to Miss Cai Yan?
"That's why I thought about it and hurried over to help Teacher."
Bai Feng immediately rolled his eyes at Cao Chun.
What was the point of saying so much?
If he wanted to go to Chenliu, why didn't he just say so?
If Cao Chun knew that Tuoba He's head had been chopped off by this' ordinary 'guard by Bai Feng's side, Cao Chun's jaw would probably drop to the ground.
Bai Feng didn't say anything, but turned around and continued walking.
When Cao Chun saw that Bai Feng didn't answer, he immediately rejoiced.
This was a tacit agreement!
Thinking of this, Cao Chun followed behind the three of them without saying a word, always vigilant of the surroundings.
…
"Thank you, sir, for being willing to send me home …"
Cai Yan bowed slightly to Bai Feng, but there were tears in her eyes.
Go home.
A few days ago, Cai Yan didn't even dare to think about it.
But now that Bai Feng was here, this person was like his savior, defeating the Xiongnu camp in one battle after another and bringing him out.
If it wasn't for the fact that she was no longer a virgin, Cai Yan really wanted to devote herself to him.
Father must miss me a lot at home …
Thinking of this, Cai Yan could no longer hold back her tears.
Bai Feng's heart tightened when he saw this.
Cai Yan's life was truly bitter. As a talented woman of her generation, and also from a great clan, if it was in another dynasty, she would definitely have enjoyed glory, splendor, and wealth.
However, he was born at the wrong time, during the chaotic times of the three kingdoms.
Furthermore, she was captured by the Xiongnu.
Bai Feng had a general understanding of the Xiongnu's nature, but he still couldn't imagine what Cai Yan had experienced.
On the way back, Bai Feng found out that Cai Yan had given birth to two children for the Xiongnu King.
However, Cai Yan had no feelings for these two children.
So much so that when he killed the Xiongnu by mistake, Cai Yan didn't even bat an eyelid.
Moreover, according to historical records, these two children were of the same father and mother …
Bai Feng could already roughly imagine what had happened.
No wonder Cai Yan had no feelings for these two children.
These two children could be said to be the shame of Cai Yan's life.
…
Two days quickly passed. The journey was extremely peaceful, and there weren't many bandits like Cao Chun had said.
Seeing the two large words "Chenliu" on the city wall, Cai Yan suddenly felt emotional.
Chenliu, this name was starting to become somewhat unfamiliar.
She had lived in her hometown for more than ten years, and today, she had finally returned.
…
At this moment, in Chenliu City, the Cai Estate.
Cai Yong raised his brush and wanted to write something, but in the end, he put down his brush and sighed.
When the two servants saw this, they also sighed and left Cai Yong's study.
"Ever since Young Miss was captured by the Xiongnu, Master hasn't written for many years."
"Even the zither that the old master loved the most is now covered in dust."
"In the past, Master Zither would take care of it every day, but now …"
One of the servants couldn't help but speak.
The other servant also nodded.
"Isn't that so? Master only has this one daughter, and now that she has been captured by the Xiongnu, I'm afraid that the odds are against her."
"Do you know how beastly the Xiongnu are?"
"They …"
Before he could finish speaking, a cough came from the study, and then the door slowly opened.
"Cough, cough, what are the two of you talking about?"
Cai Yong narrowed his eyes at the two, many wrinkles already appearing on his face.
The two servants hurriedly knelt and said.
"Master! The two of us know our mistake. "
At this moment, a woman in embroidered clothes walked over and sighed.
"The two of you are dismissed."
The two hurriedly fled as if they had been pardoned.
This woman was none other than Cai Wenji's birth mother.
Cai Yong's mother looked at Cai Yong's desolate eyes and sighed, after which she handed the food in her hands to Cai Yong.
"Master, at least eat a little."
"Although there hasn't been any news from Yan 'er these past few years, you've already lost a lot of weight. If this continues, your body won't be able to take it."
Cai Yong was silent for a few moments before speaking.
"Has there been any news from the people we sent out?"
Cai Yong's mother shook her head.
"It's been several months, but there's still no news. I'm afraid that the Xiongnu have already …"
Cai Yong raised his hand and sighed.
"Say no more. This is Yan 'er's fate. It's all my fault for not protecting her well …"
Cai Yong's tears flowed down his aged face.
After so long, there had been no news from his daughter. Even if he didn't believe it, she was probably already dead in a foreign land.
Cai Yong had personally experienced the invasion of the Xiongnu, so how could he not know the ruthlessness of the Xiongnu?
If she had been kidnapped by bandits, he might have been able to redeem her with some money. But if she had been kidnapped by such people, how could she have survived?
Just as Cai Yong was grieving, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Master, Master!"
This was the servant who had been discussing Cai Yong's study.
He was panting as he hurriedly ran over to Cai Yong.
Cai Yong's mother frowned.
"Didn't I tell you to leave?"
"Master is currently grieving. If it's news from the Prime Minister, let's wait until another day."
The servant gasped for breath and said, "That's right.
"Madam, no, it's … it's that Young Lady has returned!"
Cai Yong's mother frowned.
"Didn't I tell you to wait until another day …?"
"What? Young Lady has returned?! "
Cai Yong's mother and Cai Yong's eyes widened as they stared at the servant.
The two of them only had one daughter, Cai Yan. Could the 'Young Lady' this servant was referring to be Cai Yan?
