Chapter 61 is fond of widows

  Long Fei's sudden arrival was a shock to Yang Feng and the others. Last time, he had lost his wife and soldiers, almost losing White Wolf Valley, how did he come again? Han Xiang coldly smiled: "Big brother, his arrival is just in time, we will capture him and see what other tricks he has!"

  Li Le hastily shook his head: "Absolutely not! This Long Fei has been deeply trusted by Dong Zhuo since he surrendered, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers and generals under him. It's said that at the Tiger Trap Pass, Long Fei single-handedly looted the allied army's grain supplies. This man is not to be underestimated. Moreover, we still rely on him to introduce us to Dong Zhuo. If we detain him, not only will White Wolf Valley be lost, but also our entire family's lives will be in danger."

  Yang Feng nodded: "Second brother is right, it's not good to offend Long Fei! Come on, invite Long Fei up the mountain!"

  Re-entering the White Wolf Valley, the scene is again greatly different from last time. Not only has the defensive power been increased, but several watchtowers have also been added. Even the mountain cave has changed, with the plaza in front of it gone and replaced by grassland and trees. It's just spring, and the wild grass is growing vigorously, making the cave even more hidden. This must be the idea of Yang Feng's wife, this woman is indeed not ordinary.

  This time, Yang Feng didn't put on any airs and welcomed him at the entrance of the cave. The two of them walked into the mountain cave like old friends, chatting and laughing. In front of the gathering hall, wine and dishes were already set up, and after the guests took their seats, Yang Feng spoke first: "General Long's presence in our White Wolf Valley is an honor to us, let's all come and toast General Long with a cup!"

  After drinking, Long Fei looked around and said: "Since the master of Yang's village considers me, Long Fei, as a friend, I'll speak directly. I heard that yesterday, you robbed a wedding procession in Luoyang North Ten Miles and killed people, is this true?"

  Yang Feng was taken aback, turned his head to look at Li Le, Han Zhan and Hu Cai, the three of them hastily shook their heads. Yang Feng said: "General, what are you talking about? Our White Wolf Valley is south of Luoyang, going around Luoyang to commit a crime in the north is too risky! Are you joking?"

  Long Fei said: "As long as you can hand over that young master of the He Dong Wei family, I, Long Fei, guarantee that once we arrive in Chang'an, I will immediately recommend each of you to the Grand Tutor. How about it?"

  The four of them looked at each other again. Yang Feng said, "General Long, although I, Yang Feng, may not be considered a brave and upright man, but the things I have done will never be denied. This matter is really not our doing, if there's even half a word of falsehood, heaven will strike me with lightning!"

  Ancient people attached great importance to oaths, and since Yang Feng could make such an oath, it shouldn't be his doing. Long Fei raised his wine cup and drank three cups in a row: "Master Yang, I, Long Fei, wronged you, so I'll punish myself with three cups. As far as I know, only your group can gather five or six hundred people around Luoyang, if it's not you, who could it be?"

  Li Le smiled: "General Long, do you know why we became bandits? It's not that we have evil intentions, but we can't make a living! Commander Dong forced the people of Luoyang to move to Chang'an, I'm afraid there are many who slipped through the net. And with General Long guarding Luoyang, they can't go back, and still want to survive, what can they do? They can only become bandits. Now, around Luoyang, banditry is rampant, and it's easy for a few families to join forces, let alone five or six hundred, even a thousand people is not a difficult task!"

  "Right, right, right......" Yang Feng hastily said: "Second brother is right! General Long may as well send someone to investigate, recently there have been bandits roaming around Luoyang, we haven't made a move for a long time."

  They sent off Long Fei. The four of them let out a sigh of relief, Han Xiao chuckled and patted Li Le's back: "Still, the second child has a way with words, able to talk his way out, otherwise it would be hard to fool that guy Long Fei!"

  Li Le ignored him and turned to Yang Feng, saying: "Big brother, that Wei Gongzi can't stay any longer, and he definitely can't be allowed to leave alive. We deceived Long Fei today, if he finds out, we'll be in trouble!"

  "Kill him, what about the money?" Hu Cai interrupted.

  Yang Feng said, "Money is a small matter. Since Long Fei has already agreed to recommend us in front of Dong Zhuo, that's enough! This deal can be cancelled! Fourth brother, you go now and do the Wei Gongzi, then drag him to the north of the city and throw him away, make it clean!"

  Three days later, Wei Zhongdao's body was found on the Qing Song Ridge north of Luoyang. He had been beaten to death before being killed by having his skull smashed. The body had been abandoned for some time and had been partially eaten away by animals. The corpse was in a terrible state, with only half of the head and torso remaining, while both legs and arms were gone. Cai Yong fainted again, and Cai Yan cried until she almost died.

  Many people analyzed various reasons, but no one could figure out who was responsible. For three days, Long Fei continuously sent people to investigate the bandit situation around Luoyang, and indeed, as Li Le said, there were 17 or 18 groups of bandits outside Luoyang City, each with a hundred or two hundred people. If several families joined forces, they could really gather five or six hundred people. Long Fei sent people to eliminate several groups, but there was no clue at all. Now that Wei Zhongdao had died an unjust death, the matter was temporarily put on hold.

  When it comes to Wei Zhongdao's death, Long Fei is still a little happy and grateful to the person who took action for himself. With Wei Zhongdao's death, Cai Yan no longer has an engagement, which means he still has a chance. However, there are some worries, according to historical development, Wei Zhongdao died a year later, but now he is dead, will history deviate? He hastily fetched a basin of water and stretched his head over, fortunately, he could still see his shadow, Long Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  Zhang Ji and Hua Xiong also led their troops to withdraw from the Tiger Trap Pass, everything was in order, according to Dong Zhuo's instructions, they were ready to set off. Although the civil and military officials were not very willing, under the escort of the army, they still set out. The last batch of people had not yet left Luoyang when the news that the Tiger Trap Pass had been occupied by the allied forces arrived in Luoyang, and scouts reported that the allied forces were rushing towards Luoyang without stopping. Looking at the empty city of Luoyang, Long Feng gritted his teeth and ordered to set fire to the city, slowing down the allied forces' attack speed.

  The allied army, which was advancing towards Luoyang with great morale, finally dispersed the gloom that had been suppressed for a month. The grain and fodder collected by Han Fu and Wang Kuai had also arrived, just as Zhang Jue and Hua Xiong abandoned Tiger Trap Pass. Yuan Shao immediately ordered Sun Jian to lead the vanguard in a rapid advance on Luoyang, determined to capture the city. Just halfway there, they saw flames shooting up into the sky from within the city walls, causing everyone to be shocked.

  "Hurry, send someone to put out the fire! Hurry!" Yuan Shao immediately sent Bao Xin and Kong Rong to put out the fire. At the same time, they set up camp on the spot.

  Cao Cao said: "Dong Zhuo set fire to slow down our march, now if we send a light cavalry to bypass Luoyang, we can certainly capture Dong Zhuo halfway!"

  Yuan Shao shook his head: "Alas! Luoyang is the capital, such a big fire and the people are suffering, the country is in trouble. Now who has the heart to care about Dong Zhuo? Let's hurry up and put out the big fire in Luoyang, and relieve the distress of the people first!"

  Cao Cao was furious and really wanted to cut down Yuan Shao with one sword. No one paid attention to Cao Cao, they were busy setting up camp, arranging wine and banquet, celebrating the capture of Luoyang. Cao Cao had no choice but to lead his own troops to bypass Luoyang and head west.

  Burned the empty city of Luoyang, Long Fei rushed to catch up with the rear team, and then let Xu Huang and Ta Leng find a suitable place to ambush, in case of pursuing soldiers. He himself went to visit Cai Tai Fu, and also took a look at Miss Cai Yan. Hua Tuo was pulled by Long Fei to diagnose and treat Cai Yong. After examining for half a day, Hua Tuo smiled: "This is just a surge of qi and blood, no big deal, taking two doses of medicine will be fine."

  "Thank you, divine doctor!" Cai Yan helped Hua Tuo down from the horse cart and when he got back on, he saw Long Fei still there and hastily lowered his head.

  Long Fei smiled: "Miss Cai, what are your plans after going to Chang'an?"

  Cai Yan shook her head: "My husband has just passed away, according to etiquette I should observe a three-year mourning period!"

  "Does it count even if we haven't gotten married?"

  Cai Yan nodded. Long Fei continued to ask: "What about three years later?"

  Cai Yan sighed: "A widow, originally had no face to live in this world, but with an old father on his deathbed, I couldn't die. From then on, I would depend on my old father for survival."

  "Then, have you ever thought of remarrying?"

  Cai Yan shook her head: "I'm a widow, who would like me?"

  "I! I like it!" Long Fei blurted out. Cai Yan, who was lying behind him, suddenly coughed violently, interrupting the conversation between the two. Cai Yan immediately went to take care of him. Just then, news came from the rear army that Xu Huang and Ta Lun had ambushed Cao Cao at Liu Family Slope, defeating him greatly. The two men sent someone to ask for instructions on whether to continue the ambush.

  Long Fei had to get down from Cai Yong's carriage and happened to see the curtain on his own carriage move, knowing that Wang Qian was watching. Although ancient people had three wives and four concubines, finding more women, their wives couldn't say anything. Not saying it out loud, they must have some jealousy in their hearts. Long Fei ordered Xu Huan and Ta Leng to withdraw and not ambush. He lifted his leg and got into his own carriage.

  Wang Qian leaned against the back of the car, pretending to sleep. Long Fei crawled over and pressed him down with one hand, covering Wang Qian's mouth with his large palm. Wang Qian struggled for a moment before falling still. Long Fei inserted both hands into Wang Qian's loose clothing, caressing him freely. Like dry firewood meeting flames, the two quickly found themselves embracing. Just as Long Fei was about to take things further, Wang Qian suddenly came to his senses and grasped Long Fei's hand tightly.

  "What's wrong?" Long Fei thought Wang Qiang was worried that people outside the car would hear, and smiled: "What are you afraid of? We're an old couple, still so shy?"

  Wang Qian lowered her head, with a shy look of a young woman, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Someone's got it!"

  "What?"

  "They're married!"

  "Really?!" Long Fei's eyes widened as he lifted Wang Qian's head: "Say it again? Is it really true?"

  Wang Qian nodded slightly. Long Fei suddenly hugged Wang Qian in his arms, excitedly not knowing what to say: "Great! Great! I'm going to be a dad, when is it due? Whose is it?"

  Wang Qian punched Long Fei's chest heavily: "Who else could it be? If you talk nonsense again, I won't care about you!"

  "Haha... okay, okay, no nonsense!"

  Hua Tuo was invited onto the carriage to take Wang Can's pulse. Long Fei, Wang Wei, Zhao Yun and others anxiously waited by the side. Everyone's face showed a smile, as the birth of new life always brings joy, regardless of whether this new life is related to oneself or not. After Hua Tuo took her pulse for a long time, he finally confirmed that Wang Can was indeed pregnant and everything was fine. The crowd erupted in cheers.

  Long Fei excitedly rushed towards the sky and loudly shouted: "I have a child...! I'm going to be a dad...!" It could be heard from ten miles away.
