Ask for a reward for a monthly ticket...

----------------------

Back at Wangtian Pavilion, both Dianman and Xu Yi were a little taller.

As soon as they saw Cao Zhen, the two went up immediately, sandwiching him between one left and one right, without saying a word, they drank three glasses of wine first before giving up.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao Peng whispered something in Cao Zun's ear.

Cao Zun was stunned for a moment, then nodded, got up and walked out of Wangtian Pavilion...

"You two guys..." Cao Zhen was a little out of breath. Seeing Dianman and Xu Yi laugh heartlessly beside him, he said with a helpless smile: "In two days, Dian Zhonglang and Xu Xiao Wei is about to compete in martial arts. If you know that you two are getting together, wouldn't you be anxious?"

Xu Yi shook her huge head again and again, and said with a smile: "My father said that he and Dianzhong Lang are a matter between the elders and have nothing to do with us. He will do whatever he wants, and he will not be angry. Dian Zhonglang also has this attitude. I also told Aman, don't let the brotherhood be cold."

Cao Zhen was silent for a moment, then sighed.

"Lieutenant Xu and Dian Zhonglang are indeed real men."

"However, Ah Fu, tell me the truth. Is the art of war you handed over to Dian Zhonglang a joke?"

Cao Peng raised his head in astonishment, looked at Xu Yi and said, "Second Brother, what do you say?"

"I walked around the school grounds all day long, but I didn't see formations being practiced...how could I beat my Tiger Guard?"

Xu Yi was a little drunk and stuttered when speaking.

"Is Tiger Guard very powerful?" Dianman suddenly became unhappy, "My father's name is, this name is... Yes, it's a good idea. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. How could Ah Fu harm my father? Ah Fu, Do you think my father can win this time, right?"

Dianman looked at Cao Peng eagerly.

Cao Zhen also became curious and looked over to Cao Peng.

This guy is really...

But at this time, Cao Peng must have stood by Dianman and smiled, "Second brother, have you heard a word?"

"What?"

"All people are united!"

Xu Yi was taken aback, but Cao Zhen was thoughtful.

"I know that Uncle Xu's tiger guard is brave, and I have seen Uncle Xu's performance. I think there is one thing that Uncle Xu didn't understand."

"what's up?"

"What is the purpose of the Tiger Guards?"

Xu Yi frowned, and was about to answer.

Cao Peng waved his hand and stopped Xu Yi, "Second Brother, listen to me first. I think Uncle Xu didn't see his position clearly. What is Suwei? Everything is about protecting Duke Cao. He would rather die than The tired lord was hurt. The guards were not used to fight fiercely and charge forward. It is precisely because Dian Zhonglang understood this truth that he practiced the formation like this. You see, the drill may not be very useful. But when we are about to fight, I I can assure you that no matter how fierce the tiger guards are, they will never be able to break through the formation of the tiger and ben army."

What she said made Xu Yi speechless.

There was a strange light in Cao Zhen's eyes.

"Ah Fu, doesn't that mean that the guards are not allowed to climb first?"

"That's not the case!" Cao Peng took a sip of his wine, "Su Wei ascends first, it must be under the condition that Mr. Cao is safe and safe. If you don't care about Mr. Cao's danger and just charge forward, how is it different from other soldiers and horses?" The guards are not fighting for glory, but protecting it. On the premise that Mr. Cao is safe and sound, there doesn't seem to be any conflict between the two, right?"

Don't fight for glory, protect it!

In the Wangtian Pavilion, there was a sudden silence, and everyone fell into deep thought.

Huben has existed since ancient times, and it seems to have become a custom to climb first in every battle.Although Huben's guards had greater responsibilities later on, no one had ever made the responsibilities so clear.In Cao Peng's eyes, Huben should be like the Central Guard Corps of later generations.They no longer need to fight for glory, because joining it is glory in itself... At this moment, Cao Zhen suddenly felt that he seemed to understand something.

understand what?
It is the true meaning of the phrase 'glory is my life'.

Cao Zun walked in from the outside and saw that everyone looked pensive. After a while, he returned to normal.

He whispered a few words in Cao Peng's ear, then walked back to Zhu Zan and sat down.

"Brother, who is Du Xi?"

"Du Xi?" Cao Zhen asked suspiciously, "Are you talking about Du Zixu?"

Cao Peng didn't know which side Du Zixu was.Judging by Cao Zhen's expression, he seemed to be a remarkable person, so he looked at Cao Zun, who nodded.

"Oh, Du Zixu is from Dingling, Yingchuan, and a famous scholar in Yingchuan.

His great-grandfather, Duan, and grandfather, Dugan, were both very famous people in the local area, and they were also distinguished in the court.During the Taipingdao Rebellion, he went to Jingzhou.Later, Liu Jingsheng Mu guarded Jingxiang and respected him very much.Last year, the lord welcomed His Majesty in Luoyang, and Du Xi returned to his hometown and was appointed as the head of Xi'e... At that time, Xi'e was quite chaotic and bandits were rampant.This Du Xi was quite courageous. He once put on armor and wielded spears, led his troops to kill the enemy, and killed hundreds of bandits.Later, when the bandits broke the city, this man recruited the officials and the people, but none of them followed the bandits. "

"Oh?"

Cao Zhen went on to say: "This time, my lord is serving as Zhong Yuanchang Sili Xiaowei, and Zhong Yuanchang specially appointed Du Xi to pay homage to Yilang to join the military and accompany him to Guanzhong."

"This is not easy!"

"Of course it's not easy...by the way, how can you mention him so nicely?"

Cao Peng said: "The people we met just now are Du Xi's guests. The previous elegant room was also arranged by Du Xi."

Cao Zhen frowned, and said softly: "So, those people are not young!"

"how do I say this?"

Zhu Zan interjected, "Du Xi is a man of lofty arrogance, and all his followers are people of high moral character. Moreover, he attaches great importance to his family status, and he would never come forward to arrange it unless it is a noble person. You also know that this Yuxiu Tower's The third floor, you can’t go up casually.”

Dian Man Xu Yi was a little confused at this moment.

And Wang Mai and Deng Fan couldn't get in their mouths, so they had to look at Cao Peng and Cao Zhen suspiciously.

Cao Zhen thought for a while, "Forget it, it was just a misunderstanding, let's not worry about it anymore... Xuzhou accent? I'll check back later."

He could see that Cao Peng was very interested in those people.

So it was taken down.

Cao Peng also said: "Yes, anyway, it has nothing to do with us. Today is to see off the fourth brother and the sixth brother, so don't talk about those boring things. The fourth brother and the sixth brother are going to Chang'an, Luoyang. I wish the two brothers great success , in the name of our little boy, please drink this cup together."

Cao Zhen and others invited wine one after another.

Zhu Zan and Cao Zun also laughed, and they would not refuse anyone who came, drinking happily cup after cup.

The banquet was not over until nearly Xu time.At this time, the city gate of Xudu was closed, so Cao Peng took Wang Mai and Deng Fan back to live in Huben Mansion with Dianman.Tonight, Dianwei is on duty, so he is not in the mansion.The four of them drank a lot, and after entering the room, they fell down on the couch and fell asleep soundly.Cao Peng had something on his mind, couldn't sleep for a while, and tossed and turned on the bed...

He got up with his clothes on, walked out of the wing room, and strolled in the garden of Huben Mansion.

The moonlight is shining brightly in the courtyard, as if covered with a layer of veil... In time, there are night birds singing, which adds a bit of tranquility.

The moon is hazy, the birds are hazy...

Cao Peng stepped into the pavilion, lost in thought.

I really can't remember what happened in the second year of Jian'an.

Even if Cao Peng had read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he couldn't clearly remember what happened that year.Logically speaking, Lu Bu and Cao Cao are hostile, and it seems impossible to have any contact.But at this time Xuzhou came... What is the situation?
By the way, when did Lu Bu die?
For a while, there was a blank in Cao Peng's memory.

Battle of Guandu... Battle of Guandu!
In my memory, the Battle of Guandu took place in the fifth year of Jian'an.And Lu Bu died before the battle of Guandu.In other words, Lu Bu has at most two years to live?No, no, Lu Bu shouldn't have been killed in the fourth year of Jian'an, because there seems to be a belt edict interspersed in the middle.Yes, the second brother Guan seems to have followed Cao Cao for a while, and then he had Zhan Yanliang, Zhu Wenchou, and rode solo for thousands of miles.

That is to say, Lu Bu died in Jian'an three years ago, or... earlier?
Cao Peng's memory became more and more confused.

One piece of information came out of his mind one after another, making him a little confused.

Suddenly, Cao Peng felt something biting his trousers.Looking down, he saw a little snow-white rabbit running out from nowhere and squatting at his feet.

In Dianwei's mansion, will there be rabbits?
Cao Peng bent down and picked up the little rabbit.

Impossible... Neither Dian Wei nor Dian Man are very caring people.If you say they eat rabbits, Cao Peng will believe it; if you say they raise rabbits, Cao Peng will not believe it even if they kill them.Moreover, such evil creatures as rabbits are generally liked by girls.

But in Huben Mansion, there are a group of pure men.

Before Cao Cao gave Dian Wei more than 20 maidservants, Dianwei felt troublesome, so he drove all the maidservants to Wupu instead of staying in the mansion.

Where did this rabbit come from?

Cao Peng was wondering, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the distance.

Cao Peng's hearing has greatly improved after entering the stage of easy bone self-guided qi into the bone.He quickly dodged, hid behind the pavilion, and looked in the direction of the footsteps, and saw a hazy figure floating towards him under the moonlight.As it got closer, Cao Peng gradually saw clearly that it was a little girl.Looking at her age, she looks about twelve or thirteen years old, and she is taller than ordinary girls, about 160 or so.She was wearing a blue-yellow long dress, her hair was tied up in a bun, and she was tied into a bun.

"Little Baibai, little Baibai..."

The little girl called softly, her voice was very low, as if she was suppressing her voice.

The moonlight was like washing, Cao Peng could see clearly.

The little girl is also a beauty, with an oval face, beautiful curves, a pair of bright eyes, and a pair of dimples on her cheeks.With a small cherry mouth and a small nose, the facial features are very delicately matched.At this moment, she seemed to be very anxious, and she kept calling.

Cao Peng lowered his head and looked at the little white rabbit in his arms.

noob?

It's really appropriate!
"Eh!"

Cao Peng dodges and walks out from behind the gazebo.

The little girl was startled, like a frightened little rabbit, she quickly took two steps back and stared at Cao Peng vigilantly.

Cao Peng's stature has grown a lot recently, and his body shape is also stronger than before, looking much stronger.He was all dressed up, hugging the rabbit, and seeing the vigilant look of the little girl, he smiled kindly, "Hey, is this yours?"

He tried his best to use a very gentle tone, but it could be seen that the little girl was still very vigilant.

The little head nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

The girl didn't speak, but she blinked at Cao Peng with her big watery eyes, as if begging Cao Peng to return the rabbit to her.

"Here, here it is for you!"

Seeing the little girl so vigilant, Cao Peng felt that there was nothing he could ask, so he put the little rabbit on the ground.

"Little Baibai, come here!"

The little girl called softly, and the little white rabbit immediately flew towards the little girl.

"What's your name, why are you here?"

Seeing the little girl picking up the rabbit, Cao Peng asked.

Unexpectedly, the girl didn't answer, she hugged the little rabbit and ran away.

"Hey!"

Cao Peng took two quick steps and shouted after the girl, but the little girl ran even faster.

"Be careful, don't fall."

Cao Peng stopped, shook his head with a wry smile, and called out behind the girl.In my heart, I murmured: Do I look scary?
"Well... thank you, I didn't eat for nothing."

The little girl stopped suddenly, thanked Cao Peng, then turned around and left.

Cao Peng was stunned!
He seems to understand a little bit, the culprit is probably the father and son of the Dian family... Could it be, these two delicious rabbits?

When he raised his head again, the figure of the little girl had disappeared into the night.

It's not easy for Cao Peng to chase after him, because further inside is the inner house of the Dian family.God knows, does Dian Wei have a golden house?Although Cao Peng is very familiar with Dian's family, there are some places where he still has to follow the rules.If it's with Dianman, it's fine.Now that he is alone, if he ran into the inner house, it might not sound good if it is spread... Or, is it Dianwei's relatives who came?

After such a fuss, Cao Peng seemed much more relaxed.

If you can't think clearly, then don't think about it anymore... When you think clearly, let's talk!
So Cao Peng turned and went back to sleep.

--------------------------

Early the next morning, Dianman came to Cao Peng to practice.

Since I didn't sleep well last night, I looked a little listless.While yawning, while changing clothes, muttering in his mouth.

"Third brother, is there a female family member coming to your house?"

Dianman was taken aback, "I don't have any female relatives in my family!"

"Yesterday, I clearly saw that there is a woman in the back house of your house..."

Dianman became anxious immediately, "Ah Fu, don't talk nonsense. If my mother finds out, my father will have another meal!"

Uh... Dian Wei is afraid of his wife!

To be honest, Cao Peng rarely heard Dian Wei mention his wife.

Moreover, after staying in Xudu for so long, Dian Wei has not seen Dianwei take over his wife.

What does Mrs. Dian look like?What kind of temper is it?

Cao Peng has always been curious.Hearing Dianman's slip of the tongue today, Cao Peng seemed to understand why Dianwei refused to bring his wife over.

"But I do see that there is a little girl."

"You can't see it..." Dianman said: "I really don't have any women in my family. It's not like you don't know that my father refused to take so many maidservants that my lord gave me before, and sent them all to Wupu. You are definitely delusional, and there is no one in the back house!"

"I do not believe!"

Dianman was so angry that he dragged Cao Peng to the back house.

In the back house, there is a main hall and dozens of side rooms.As soon as he entered the back house, Cao Peng knew that Dianman was not lying.Because the back house is deserted and deserted, and there is no sense of popularity at all.

Fortunately, someone lived there before, so it wouldn't look like this.

Although it looks clean, it seems that someone comes to clean it every day.However, it can be seen at a glance whether anyone has lived there.

Suddenly, Cao Peng gave a chill to Lingling.

Could it be that what I saw last night was a female ghost?
In his previous life, Cao Peng was a staunch atheist.He doesn't believe that there are really ghosts and gods in this world... But now, he has time-traveled and become another person.If it was this kind of absurd thing in his previous life, he wouldn't believe it even if he was killed.Now, it just happened!

Who dares to say that there are no ghosts and gods in this world?

If there are no ghosts and gods, then how to explain his affairs?

Confucius said, the son does not speak strange power and confusion.He also said that the way of heaven is far away, and the way of humanity is close... It's not that he doesn't talk about ghosts and gods, but because non-mortals can talk about ghosts and gods.Does this mean that Confucius also believed that there are ghosts and gods in this world?It's really hard to say!
"Aman, go back and find a warlock, let's do rituals."

Dianman asked suspiciously, "Why?"

"Uh...it's too deserted! You know, it's too deserted, and it's easy to provoke unclean things. Please do the ritual, please feel at ease."

As he spoke, he was about to leave.

This back house is too weird... Cao Peng didn't feel scared at first, but once the idea of ​​the female ghost arose, it couldn't disappear anymore.I always feel that the wind is blowing, and the spine is chilly, which is a little scary.But the moment he turned around, he stopped suddenly.

"Afu, what's wrong?"

"Why is there a small door there?"

Cao Peng pointed to an inconspicuous little moon gate in a corner of the yard and asked.

Dianman smiled, "Oh, that's where the lord lives. When I came to Xudu, the lord told my father to open a small door here to facilitate communication. You also know that the lord trusts my father very much. He used to live in Yanzhou. , I often dragged my father to drink. Let’s make a small door here to make it easier to come and go.”

Cao Peng, if you think about it...

"Aman, do you like rabbits?"

Dianman was stunned, "How do you know? If you don't say it, I still can't remember it. This one... I haven't eaten rabbit for a long time."

"In the future, don't eat rabbits!"

"why?"

"Be careful, the rabbit spirit will settle accounts with you at night."

Cao Peng turned his head and left, more or less understanding in his heart.

Could it be that the little girl is Cao Cao's family member?Or, is it the maidservant of the Cao Mansion?No, judging by her attire, she doesn't look like a servant, so she must be Cao Cao's family!
But Dianman couldn't help shivering.

"Ah Fu, wait for me!"

He quickly caught up with Cao Peng, and asked softly, "Is there really a rabbit spirit?"

----------------------

The battle between tiger and guard is approaching day by day!
The streets and alleys of Xudu are discussing the upcoming battle between dragons and tigers.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu are both powerful generals in the world.One has a reputation of being evil, the other is known as a tiger idiot, and both are Cao Cao's most trusted people.

This battle will determine who is the No. 1 guard, so it has aroused the interest of many people.

Some say it is invincible;
Others believe that the tiger guards are brave.

In short, there are various levels of speculation, which also makes this martial arts performance cloaked in mystery.At the same time, Cao Cao also declared that after the contest, there will be some rewards.But what reward?He didn't make it clear, which made people extremely curious.

On the tenth day of the seventh lunar month, it is the day of performing martial arts.

Early in the morning, Cao Peng came to the outside of the Xiyuan school grounds.

"Afu!"

From a distance, I saw Cao Zhen in military uniform, waving at him.

Cao Peng quickly agreed and urged him to come forward immediately to meet Cao Zhen.

"Ah Fu, I found out!"

"What did you hear?"

"Those people in Yuxiu Tower...are Xuzhou Lu Bu's envoys. Do you still remember the person who was almost knocked over by me? He is Chen Yuanlong!"
