Cao Thief

Chapter 107 The wind is rising and the clouds are moving
At this moment, Cao Peng is immersed in a very wonderful world.

He is not very clear about what happened outside, everything comes from instinct.It is also because it comes from instinct, so the fists and feet are even more merciless.

Zhu Zan was caught off guard by Cao Peng's punch, and immediately flew upside down, slammed into the wall and fell to the ground.

A mouthful of blood spewed out, and I felt cramping in my chest and abdomen.

Cao Peng's punch directly broke two of his ribs, causing Zhu Zan to scream in pain.

Xu Yi was on the side, but she could see clearly that the distance between Cao Peng's shots was very short. From a normal cognition, it was impossible to generate much power.But just between that stroke and kick, a huge explosive force was produced.When punching, it seems weak, when punching, it seems to be bombarded by a giant hammer.

This kung fu is truly terrifying...

Xu Yi was stunned, Cao Zhen and others all woke up.

"Old Zhu, old Zhu... what's wrong with you, who hit you?"

Cao Zun and Zhu Zan also grew up together, so they were naturally very concerned. They got up from the bed and rushed to Zhu Zan's side.

"Ah Fu, you're crazy!"

Zhu Zan coughed violently, a smear of red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Second brother, what's going on?"

Cao Zhen shouted and asked, but his eyes were fixed on Cao Peng who was standing an inch in front of the bed, advancing and retreating, repeating a movement alternately.

Cao Peng didn't know what was going on in the outside world at all, and he continued to use half-step Bengquan's strength to urge three knots, three stars... The vitality and blood continued to increase, and the joints became smoother.He didn't know what happened, and he continued to practice again and again.Every time he punches, there will be a violent air explosion sound.The fist exploded with astonishing force within a square inch, rubbing against the air, producing a sound like pulling a bellows.

"Everyone stay away!"

Xu Yi yelled loudly and stopped Cao Zhen who was trying to wake Cao Peng up.

"He's practicing... What happened to Lao Zhu probably happened unintentionally. He probably still doesn't know what happened."

"What the hell is this?"

Xu Yidian looked at each other and shook his head in unison, "I don't know!"

"It's not like Baji, nor Taiji!" Wang Mai said suddenly.

"Ah Fu said that Wen has Tai Chi to secure the world, and martial arts has Ba Ji to determine the universe. He usually practiced Tai Chi, and what he gave us was Ba Ji... But I have never seen the boxing method he uses now, nor have I seen him. Used it. In the past, Ah Fu was soft when practicing boxing, why is he so strong today? Everyone, don’t get close to the past, I guess he is unconscious at this time, whoever leans over will be unlucky.”

As soon as the words came out, Cao Zhen and the others backed away.

"Cellmaster!"

Cao Zun supported Zhu Zan and shouted loudly.

The jailer who was already asleep outside heard the shout, and secretly cried out in his heart: Why haven't these masters tossed enough, what are they going to do?
But when he ran over and saw the situation clearly, he was also taken aback.

Zhu Zan lay there with a pale face, looking as if he had been seriously injured... Could it be that there were assassins?This is a big deal!
"What are you doing in a daze?" Cao Zhen yelled, "I'm blind, why don't you hurry up and find Mr. to save someone."

"what……"

The jailer groaned inwardly, the clinic is closed in the middle of the night, where can I find Mr.But when Cao Zhen spoke, he didn't dare to disobey.I had to call repeatedly and ordered someone to go to the doctor.I was still a little strange in my heart: what is going on here?She was fine just now, but in the blink of an eye, they turned against each other?Sure enough, it was a group of young masters who said they were sworn brothers to Jinlan, it was just a game.

The sound of air explosions became more and more intensive, and Cao Peng's face became more and more ruddy.

On the forehead, fine beads of sweat flowed down the cheeks, and the thin single clothes were already soaked.

Cao Zhen and the others hid nearby, watching Cao Peng punching like crazy.

"Why does he only punch in a square inch?"

Zhu Zan breathed a sigh of relief now, and couldn't help asking curiously.

Wang Mai shook his head, "I'm not sure about this... When Ah Fu used to practice Tai Chi, his range of motion was not very large. In fact, most of the boxing techniques he taught us were limited to a certain range. What's the mystery here? I can't explain it either... But I feel that after practicing, I can improve my body, hands and eyes. This third brother should be clear, when he was in Wubao, he broke through the sand formation."

Several pairs of eyes shifted to Dianman in a flash.

Dianman rubbed his nose, "There is indeed such a thing, but I don't quite understand it."

"What sand array?"

Xu Yi was suddenly curious.

Dianman shook his head, "Ah Fu seems to have said that that thing is called the Tiangang Hunyuan Pile... that is, in such a large and small area, 36 sandbags are set up, and people walk around and hit the sandbags at the same time. Repeatedly Carrying it out can improve your alertness...Xu Datou, you can try it later. I didn't believe in evil at first, but my nose was bruised and my face was swollen, and I almost couldn't get out."

"Then you must try."

The sound of air explosions was sudden and sharp, like popcorn, and it continued continuously.

Cao Peng stopped suddenly, raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar...

The qi and blood in the limbs and bones are full, as comfortable as jade beads rolling.I saw him hugging his hands, pushing his head upwards, stepping into his left leg, slowly separating his hands, pushing his left hand forward, and pulling his right hand back, like tearing a face, the movements are soothing, but it gives people a strange feeling like flowing clouds and flowing water.

"Hey, what's the matter with you?"

Cao Peng used the three-body posture to receive his work, but found a group of people huddled in a corner, looking at him very strangely.

"Fourth brother, you... who beat you?"

When his eyes fell on Zhu Zan, Cao Peng was startled, and hurried forward, wanting to check Zhu Zan's injury.

Who would have thought that as soon as he took a step, Cao Zhen yelled: "Ah Fu, wait a minute!"

"what happened?"

"You... Finished training?"

Cao Peng smiled awkwardly, nodded and said, "Please forgive me for disturbing the brothers."

"Not crazy?"

"Crazy? When did I go crazy?"

"You bastard, you made us hide here and dare not move... Brothers, do it, teach him a lesson! You even dare to beat your brother. If you don't teach him a lesson, what face will you have in the future?"

Without saying a word, a group of young and middle-aged people rushed over to teach Cao Peng a lesson.

Dianman and Xu Yi grabbed Cao Peng from left to right. Cao Peng was stunned, and instinctively swung his hips in a wrong step, his arms shook accordingly, and he shook his shoulders to exert strength, trying to break free.

"Huh? I have gained a lot of strength!"

Xu Yi yelled, and quickly tried to hold Cao Peng down.Unexpectedly, Cao Peng stepped on the yin and yang steps, stomped between his feet, threw his shoulders and elbows at the same time, bent his arms, and after getting out of Xu Yi's hand, he bumped into Xu Yi's body suddenly.Xu Yi was knocked into a stagger, almost sitting on the ground.It's not that Cao Peng deliberately wanted to do this, it's just that after entering the bone-yielding stage, his body couldn't control the power of bone strength and qi and blood, so he instinctively fought back.

Fortunately, this time he didn't push himself hard.

Cao Zhen hurried forward and grabbed Cao Peng at once.

"What are you doing!"

Cao Peng also saw that these guys were not malicious, so he shouted loudly.

"What are you doing? Even my elder brother dared to beat me, and I'm lawless... Hehe, I'm going to teach you a lesson."

Looking at Zhu Zan's pale face, he thought about the strange expressions of everyone just now.Cao Peng understood all of a sudden, and stopped resisting immediately.

In fact, Cao Zhen and the others didn't really want to teach Cao Peng a lesson, they just wanted to vent their anger at being frightened by him.

Xu Yi got up, stretched out her palm-leaf fan, and brushed Cao Peng's hair into a mess. Dianman kept beating his head lightly with his fists.

"Fourth brother, are you okay?" Cao Zun asked softly.

Zhu Zan couldn't help laughing, "What's the matter... It was because I was not careful and didn't understand the situation that I was injured by Ah Fu. I can't blame him... Okay, let's stop making trouble. Ah Fu practiced After a long time, he is probably tired, let him rest for a while."

Among the eight people, Cao is really the boss.

But most of the time, Zhu Zan feels more calm.

"Forgive you boy!"

Cao Zhen let go of Cao Peng.

Poor little Cao Peng, at this time he has no such chic deceit as before, with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, just like a doormat.

Zhu Zan smiled happily, but his happiness caused his injury, so he grinned.

Broken ribs!

Cao Peng walked over to check Zhu Zan's injuries.

Frowning slightly, he said softly: "Fourth Brother, I'll help you reset the bones... I accidentally hurt the bone just now, if I don't fix it right away, it's very likely that something will go wrong. It will hurt a little, but I believe that the fourth brother Tough guy, no problem, huh?"

This kid is too cunning!
Zhu Zan cursed secretly in his heart.

You've said all this, even if it hurts to death, I can't say anything... Otherwise, I will be looked down upon.

"bring it on!"

Zhu Zan had an expression of "I believe in you", but he had no foundation in his heart.Although he became sworn brother to Jinlan and made obeisances, but if he knew Cao Peng very well, he really couldn't say it.But since Cao Peng opened his mouth, Zhu Zan had no choice but to admit it, as if resigned to his fate.

Let Zhu Zan lie down, Cao Peng found the broken bone, and then said to Cao Zhen with a smile: "The fourth brother's body is not bad, as long as the bones are straightened, and after a few days, he will be able to live well. By the way, I heard about it a few days ago. Say, elder brother found a woman outside?"

"Who is talking nonsense?" Cao Zhen was stunned.

Zhu Zan became interested when he heard this, "Brother, are you looking for a woman again?"

"What do you mean, I don't have any..."

Before Cao Zhen finished speaking, Zhu Zan suddenly heard a scream like killing a pig.

When Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen were talking, Cao Peng suddenly exerted force on his hand, and Gaba aligned the broken bone.Zhu Zan was unprepared for the sudden severe pain.That cry...how could it be such a miserable word?Fortunately, both Dianman and Xu Yi were reminded by Cao Peng to hold Zhu Zan firmly, so that he could not move.But even so, Zhu Zan was in a cold sweat, looked at Cao Peng, and kept rolling his eyes.

————————————————————

After about two sticks of incense, the jailer led a young man into the cell.

It's really embarrassing for the jailer. It's really not easy to find a doctor in the middle of the night.Xiao Kun, an expert in gynecology at Huichuntang, is very busy today. He was exhausted from all the things during the day and planned to take an early rest.Not wanting to have guests at home, Xiao Kun could only force himself to receive them.His name was Dong Xiao, and he was a closed disciple of Zhang Ji, the former prefect of Changsha.In the early years, Xiao Kun had studied under Zhang Bozu, Zhang Ji's uncle, so he was also an old friend with Zhang Ji.When the younger generation comes to visit, of course he must have a banquet...

This meal of wine has been eaten until now.

Originally, the two planned to go back to rest, but the jailer came to the door unexpectedly.

Xiao Kun felt a headache when he heard that they were still those people during the day.Moreover, he is a gynecologist, so he really doesn't know much about this trauma.

Fortunately, Dong Xiao stood up and expressed his willingness to see Xiao Kun.

After checking Zhu Zan's injuries, Dong Xiao was very surprised.After he had diagnosed and treated Zhu Zan, he fixed the wound and prescribed a prescription.

Cao Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to thank him, but Dong Xiao bowed to Cao Peng.

"My lord, Dong Xiao, is ordered by my teacher to send a letter to Mr. Cao."

Cao Peng was taken aback, "Master Ling is..."

"Family teacher Nie Yang Zhang Ji."

"Ah, is Mr. Zhongjing's disciple?"

Cao Peng got up quickly and bowed his hands in return.

Here, Dong Xiao took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Cao Peng, "I just don't know how to contact you, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Cao Peng took the letter and was not in a hurry to read it.

He asked, "Where is Mr. Dong now?"

"Oh, I haven't decided yet. It is estimated that I will temporarily live in Huichun Hall for a while, and then I will make calculations."

Cao Peng said: "That's it, why don't you come to Dianjiawu to live temporarily? I'm afraid I will stay here for a while, and when the matter is over, I hope I can have a good talk with my husband."

Although he didn't know what was written in the letter, Cao Peng vaguely guessed what Zhang Ji was thinking.

Clans like the Nieyang Zhang family must plan ahead.Don't look at Cao Cao's failure in Wancheng, but he will fight again when he can't guarantee it.At that time, if the Nieyang Zhang family has no backing, it will soon decline.Zhang Ji is definitely not easy to come forward and say who he is going to defect to.But he can send his students... Just like the aristocratic family, Zhang Ji will not put all his eggs in one basket.

Dong Xiao was a questioning stone that Zhang Ji threw at Xu Du.

The reason why Dong Xiao found him was because he had no connections, or Zhang Ji didn't want him to bear his name.

Therefore, when Dong Xiao came to Xudu, he had no choice but to find himself.After all, Zhang Ji had taken in Wang Mai Deng Ji back then, so he had friendship with Cao Peng.Through Cao Peng, you can have a relationship with Dian Wei.In this way, Dong Xiao naturally has a chance to gain a firm foothold in Xudu...

None of these elders are confused.

For Cao Peng, Dong Xiao lived in Dianjiawu, and there was no harm.

Among the great figures in later generations, who doesn't hire a family doctor?Besides, my mother, Mrs. Zhang, was frightened, and my sister was pregnant again.There is a doctor there to take care of it, so it is more reassuring, isn't it?Therefore, Cao Peng was not polite, and directly extended the invitation.

Dong Xiao smiled and agreed.

After stabilizing Zhu Zan's injury, Dong Xiao said some precautions, took the Dian family badge that Cao Peng gave him, and left.

With such a big incident happening in Xudu, the guards will naturally be heavily guarded at night.

Without Dian Wei's badge, Dong Xiao wants to walk alone in the market, which is not easy...

After seeing Dong Xiao off, Cao Peng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sixth brother, let's change seats. You sleep inside, and I sleep next to fourth brother. I have some understanding of this muscle and bone injury. If fourth brother feels uncomfortable, I can take care of him... I have been tossing around all day, Let's go to bed early, everyone. Hehe, wait until tomorrow, maybe there will be something good for us to entertain."

Cao Peng and Cao Zun discussed it.

Cao Zun thought about it, and although he was a little uneasy, he finally agreed.

"Ah Fu, what's the fun?"

Xu Yi's eyes lit up, and she asked curiously.

"Hey, I'll explain it to you when the item arrives."

Although Xu Yi was not reconciled, her body was really tired.After all, I have been tossing around all day, and I was so frightened by Cao Peng just now, and now I feel like my eyelids are twitching.After questioning Cao Peng for a while, Xu Yi had no choice but to give up when Cao Peng refused to speak out.

Cao Peng lay on the bed between Zhu Zan and Deng Fan, and opened the letter by the light in the corridor outside the prison.

Huh?Not Zhang Zhongjing's letter!
The handwriting is very elegant, and the neat Han Xiaoli is a bit difficult to identify.

The letter was written by Huang Yueying at the end of last year.Huang Yueying said that because of her mother's poor health, she had to go home to visit her so as not to worry about her.He also invited Cao Peng to go to Baishui to find her if he had the opportunity, and then we will discuss things together, things that he didn't understand before...

Baishui is Xiantao City, Hubei Province.

Located in Jiangxia County, it is the old house of the Huang family!

However, it is estimated that Cao Peng will not be able to make it through for a while.

There are no romantic words about love between men and women in the letter, it is very plain, just like Huang Yueying, there is a kind of peace between the lines.

Although Cao Peng has been a human being for two lifetimes, he is a complete rookie emotionally.

This letter caused waves in his heart... What is this, a love letter?But there is no sentence in it, which involves the relationship between men and women.Cao Peng didn't know what kind of position he was in Huang Yueying's heart.Lying on the bed, for a while, I was worried about gains and losses, and I didn't know how to make a decision.Could it be that we really have to wait until the horse steps into Jiangxia to make it clear?
That night, Cao Peng suffered from insomnia...

——————————————————————————————

Imperial City, Changle Palace.

Leng Fei and Liu Guang stood quietly under the jade steps with their hands down.

Your Majesty Dan, Han Emperor Liu Xie stood with his hands behind his back, his slightly pale face was covered with dark clouds...

"So, Xun Wenruo didn't release him in the end, did he?"

Leng Fei replied: "Master Sizhong disagrees, saying that he can only make a decision after Cao Sikong returns the capital. However, he let the imperial physician in to treat Fu Jun's injuries. According to the imperial physician's report, Fu Jun...can't keep his leg. .But in prison, he was not treated harshly!"

"You bastard, your legs are broken, isn't that considered harsh?"

Liu Xie roared angrily, his thin body trembled slightly under the dragon robe.

He is not tall, but he has delicate features.However, the lips look a little thin, and the corners of the lips are slightly long, so that it doesn't look particularly comfortable.

"His Majesty!"

"Ziyu, tell me."

Liu Guang took a step forward and said softly: "Your Majesty came to Xudu, but the foundation is not yet stable.

In the Manchu Dynasty, they were all sent by Sikong, those who came from Chang'an were actually not reliable.As for Kong Wenju and his ilk, their moral articles might be okay, but they are too serious about book business, so I am afraid it will be difficult for them to take on important tasks.Your Majesty really shouldn't have a quarrel with Sikong, you should take it easy and recruit your confidants... Today, wars are raging everywhere, and it is the time when heroes come forth in large numbers.Your Majesty should not focus on Xu Du, but focus on the world. "

"You mean..."

"The noble families are not enough to rely on. They are all from Qin, Mu and Chu. It is really hard to trust them. Moreover, these wealthy and famous families have no military power. Like Kong Wenju, they can only live in the banquet and talk high-spirited. If your majesty wants to seize power, return We need to find someone who is capable and loyal to His Majesty."

"But where can such a person be found?"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to rush this kind of thing. When the time comes, it will happen."

Liu Xie sat down slumped, and after a long time, he asked in a low voice, "Ziyu, can this matter be forgotten?"

Liu Guang smiled, "Your Majesty, why worry? This is just a chance to test Cao Sikong's intentions."

"Try what?"

"See if he is Huo Guang or Wang Mang!"

Liu Xie, nodded lightly...
