The 221st chapter Guangyang's plan (8)
Yang Tao entered this dilapidated courtyard and frowned when he saw the scene inside. This courtyard was really simple, even more dilapidated than the village-level courtyard in Jianghe Village at the time. However, the village-level courtyard was an administrative center. Although it was very simple, there were still many buildings. In addition to a dilapidated cottage, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, which had already spread across the stone steps, and even the courtyard wall was a lot of dilapidated.
Fortunately, the people in the yard often take care of it, and it is not too deserted. There are still a few plants such as peach and plum trees planted in the yard. At this time, he was blooming with flowers of various colors. As soon as he walked into the yard, he smelled a fragrance and felt relaxed in his body and mind. At this time, Yang Tao seemed to see a figure in plain clothes passing through the staggered vegetation. Yang Tao walked in a few steps. A clear footsteps were heard, especially in this quiet courtyard. The man heard the footsteps of Yang Tao and the others, raised his head, and a simple and clean face appeared in front of Yang Tao. His face, without any makeup, had a unique charm in the shade of the grass and flowers.
"Two, who are you?" Seeing Yang Tao and the two strangers coming to the yard, a crisp and nice voice came from their cherry lips and reached Yang Tao's ears, which made him stunned. Because her voice was very nice, Yang Tao couldn't help but wonder what kind of person had such a nice voice, so he walked in a few steps and said, "We are here to find someone named Liu Ming. I don't know if it's here..."
Yang Tao, who had taken a few steps forward, was already facing the woman among the plants. When Yang Tao saw her face, a trace of appreciation flashed. The woman in front of her was wearing a simple bun, a melon-shaped face, and a erect eyebrows. Although it was not very stunning, she was also a rare beauty.
The person in front of him looked only in his 20s, unlike Liu Ming, the princess of Yiyang that Yang Tao was looking for. Because he knew from Fang Cun that Liu Ming married the Kou family in Youzhou in his early years, and now he is about 40 years old. He could not be the beautiful woman in front of him. He thought that this person might be someone else in the Kou family.
Hearing Yang Tao's words, the woman glanced at Yang Tao and Gao Shun, gave a little blessed gift, and said lightly: "You two follow me to one of the humble houses. If there is anything, I'll talk about it later."
After saying that, the woman walked towards the dilapidated house in the middle of the courtyard.
Seeing the woman walking towards the dilapidated house, Yang Tao had an illusion that this woman did not look like an ordinary person, but seemed to have a noble character, but was very light, as if she had been washed away by time, with a moving rhythm.
The woman walked towards the dilapidated house as cautious as she walked towards the palace, which made Yang Tao feel curious about the woman.
Yang Tao, who came to his senses, took Gao Shun into the broken house.
This dilapidated house is really a dilapidated house. All the furniture is a bit dilapidated and there are mottled traces everywhere. However, a lot of flowers and plants are discharged in the house, which makes the originally simple house fresh and elegant, making everyone entering the cottage feel a surprise, and they will relax without realizing it.
Yang Tao and Gao Shun sat on thick bamboo chairs. They smelled the fragrance of grass and trees in the room, but they didn't feel bad. Instead, they liked this feeling of freedom. Compared to the lobby inlaid with pearls and jade inlaid in the city lord's mansion, this place is more suitable for conversation.
The woman sitting on a bamboo chair not far away said, "I wonder what the two of you are looking for the little women?"
"Huh?" Yang Tao was stunned at first when he heard the woman's words, and then he reacted and said stammeringly: "You, are you the Princess of Yiyang Liu Ming?"
"The little woman is Liu Ming. As for Princess Yiyang, that's what happened before, so you don't need to call me that."
Hearing Liu Ming's words, Yang Tao was stunned. The beautiful woman in front of him was really the one who was nearly forty years old. He couldn't tell it even if he looked left and right!
"It's not like it!" Yang Tao thought to himself. He really couldn't connect the beautiful woman in front of him with a forty-year-old man. Fortunately, he didn't mind these things either. However, before talking about the serious matter, Yang Tao still flattered: "I didn't expect that the princess Yiyang was still so gorgeous. Even if she was wearing a cloth, she couldn't hide the princess's beauty."
When Liu Ming heard Yang Tao's words, he remained silent, but he was alert in his heart, and recognized Yang Tao as a lustful person, and was wary of him.
Seeing that Liu Ming was not speaking, Yang Tao smiled awkwardly and said, "I heard that Princess Yiyang, you didn't marry the Kou family of Youzhou? Why are you now..."
Yang Tao stopped talking halfway, and Liu Ming also understood Yang Tao's meaning, although she was a little disgusted with Yang Tao. Before, many people wanted to make an idea about her, but she was a princess of the Han Dynasty after all, and as long as she was not willing, no one dared to deal with her.
But facing Yang Tao, Liu Ming was not so relaxed because Yang Tao and his two were wearing very good equipment. Although Liu Ming had been suffering for a long time, her eyesight was still there. Now the entire Anci City is in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army. Only the Yellow Turban Army can wear such good equipment. When she saw Yang Tao and his two men's preparations in the courtyard, she knew that their identities were not only the Yellow Turban Army, but also the commander.
The Yellow Turban Army could not care about her identity as a princess of the Han Dynasty. Facing Yang Tao and the others, Liu Ming did not dare to do too much. When he heard Yang Tao's questions, he could only answer truthfully: "That was a long time ago. Shortly after I married into the Kou family in Youzhou, someone in the Kou family offended the previous emperor Emperor Huan, and the Kou family also declined. Their husband passed away a few years ago after I married in Youzhou, leaving only one daughter for me. The Kou family did not tolerate my mother and daughter, so my mother and daughter depended on each other, and it was still acceptable. However, after more than 20 years of decline, the Kou family is now only left with me..."
As he was talking, Liu Ming unconsciously shed tears.
Seeing Liu Ming's sad look, Yang Tao didn't know what to do. He neither could take care of others, but he still had to borrow her identity this time, which made him feel a little unbearable. Yang Tao took a few deep breaths, removed some of the boredom in his heart, and finally decided to say it out.
When Liu Ming stopped sobing, Yang Tao said, "We are the Yellow Turbans. Today we are here to tell the princess. We may borrow your identity and hope the princess can cooperate!"
Hearing Yang Tao's words, Liu Ming's pretty face instantly lost his color and begged with sad face: "Two, since you want to borrow my head to boost morale, just take it. It's just for the sake of the little woman, bypassing my daughter's life. She is just a member of Kou's family, and it's useless to you!"
Seeing Liu Ming looking at him with sad eyes and hearing her begging, Yang Tao knew that she had misunderstood what she meant, and hurriedly explained: "Princess, you misunderstood. I did not take the princess's life. I just wanted to borrow the princess' identity and spread the story of the princess being caught by the Yellow Turbans of Ancicheng and being tortured. It was just spreading news and would not make any trouble to the princess. It was just that the princess had to go to the city lord's mansion, otherwise the news would be easily leaked in the mixed city."
Hearing Yang Tao's words, Liu Ming was stunned and said in disbelief: "Are you saying true?"
"Of course, what I said is naturally true. I am the coach of Hanoi Qu. The Yellow Turbans in Anci City are the biggest. If you really want the princess's life, why should I come in person? Just send a few Yellow Turban soldiers, right?"
"Okay, then I'll go with you, just..."
"You are worried about your daughter, so let's go together. Anyway, there are many empty rooms in the city lord's mansion, and there is no place to avoid your daughter." Yang Tao said.
"Then I thank the general!" Liu Ming wiped his tears and bowed to Yang Taoying.
"I should thank you, after all, I want to write an article with you."
After Yang Tao finished speaking, he accompanied Liu Ming to find her daughter. Her daughter went to the street to buy vegetables and was soon found.
Yang Tao looked at the two mother and daughter standing in front of him, and was a little dazzled because they looked very similar. If it weren't for the little wrinkles on the corners of Liu Ming's eyes, Yang Tao wouldn't believe that they were mother and daughter, but he would think that they were sisters.
