Cao Thief

Chapter 198 Wan Qingsi ([-])
Back at the residence, Cao Peng really couldn't fall asleep!
The image of the elf-like young girl appeared in his mind from time to time.The charming face and cold eyes made him feel a strange feeling.But what is the reason?Cao Peng couldn't tell.I always feel like I've forgotten something, but I can't remember it.

Tossing and turning like this, until the sky turned pale, and then fell asleep in a daze.

However, after falling asleep for a while, Xia Houlan woke up.After another toss, after waking Cao Peng up, he couldn't fall asleep again.

Turning over and sitting up, rubbing his face vigorously, he finally lifted his spirits.

Cao Peng changed into his clothes, and after washing up, Xun Yan got up too...

————————————————————————

After breakfast, Xun Yan bid farewell to Lu Xun.

Lu Xun looked a little depressed, but on the surface, he still maintained a thoughtful manner.After a symbolic stay, Lu Xun said: "Seventeen days later, it will be the day of my nephew's big wedding. If my uncle is still in Wu County, please come to watch the ceremony at that time. Gu Shifu will also come, and uncle can drink wine with Shifu. Say hello, let’s talk about parting.”

Xun Yan readily agreed to Lu Xun's invitation.

When Cao Peng got into the carriage, Lu Xun was still standing on the doorstep.

The eyes of the two met inadvertently, Lu Xun smiled slightly, and saluted Cao Peng with both hands.

Cao Peng's heart skipped a beat...

He is just a little book boy, why did Lu Xun salute him?Could it be... When he looked at Lu Xun again, Lu Xun had turned around and walked into the mansion.

After coughing twice, Cao Peng got ready on the carriage.

Could it be that Lu Xun saw a flaw?

But think about it again, a boy who can grow a family of more than a hundred people at the age of 12, and a person who will burn his company in the future and beat Liu Bei to vomit blood to death, cannot be viewed with ordinary eyes.Although Lu Xun is only fifteen, he should not be underestimated.

"Ah Fu, what do you think of Boyan?"

In the carriage, Xun Yan asked softly through the thin curtain.

Cao Peng thought for a while and replied, "This is Jiangdong Junjie."

"Well, I see him the same way. That's why I let it out yesterday and invited him to Yingchuan... Ah Fu, do you think he will go?"

"Sir, if Lu Boyan invites you from Yingchuan to Jiangdong, would you like to come?"

"This one……"

Xun Yan laughed dumbfoundedly in the car and didn't answer.

But his answer was very clear: it was absolutely impossible for Lu Xun to move to Yingchuan.

The ancestors lived in Jiangdong. For more than a hundred years, the Lu family has already taken root in Jiangdong.If there are no special circumstances, it is estimated that Lu Xun is unlikely to leave.This special situation basically means that the Lu family cannot survive in Jiangdong... The possibility of this situation happening is really too small.It's a pity that such a hero!In Xun Yan's heart, a sudden strong uneasiness arose.There are as many heroes in Jiangdong as crucian carp crossing the river, which really worried him.Now there are unworldly heroes like Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and celebrities like Gu Yong and Zhang Zhao beside him...

In the future, when Lu Xun grows up, he may become Duke Cao's confidant.

There are so many outstanding and talented people, and they are coming out one after another.If Xun Yan said he was not worried, it would be against his will.But in the face of such a situation, he seemed to have no other options.In fact, there are also many heroes in the Central Plains, but they are just hidden in the dust.

So, how should I select talents for Duke Cao?
His eyes fell on Cao Peng unconsciously.Cao Youxue is talented, but I don't know if he can rival Lu Boyan in the future!

Thinking of this, Xun Yan fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Cao Peng was also secretly comparing in his heart.

Instead of comparing Lu Xun with himself, he compared Zhou Yu and Sun Ce with Lu Xun.

Zhou Yu, a great talent... In terms of talent, learning, and demeanor, Zhou Yu far exceeds Lu Xun.But Cao Peng knew that Zhou Yu was definitely not as successful as Lu Xun.The Zhou family is also considered a big family in Jiangdong, but when Zhou Yu was beheaded in his first life, his descendants were not outstanding; but Lu Xun was not!After Lu Xun died, there was still Lu Kang.He has been in charge of the Jiangdong water army for many years, guarding Jiangling to contend with the Sima family, and kept the Sima family from crossing Jiangling even in his lifetime.Regarding the story of Yang Hu and Lu Kang, Cao Peng took it from "The Sculpture of God" by Jin Daxia.

After Lu Kang's death, the Lu family had five more sons, all of whom were not taken lightly.

Among them, the third son, Lu Ji, and the fourth son, Lu Yun, are all well-known celebrities in Jiangdong.

In contrast, although Zhou Yu has the reputation of Chibi and is dedicated to the front, Lu Xun is not inferior to the latter.

It is estimated that the Lu family's heritage and style of family were destined for a hundred years of glory and glory at the moment when Lu Yi changed his name to Lu Xun.

Zhou Yu is so talented that he overlooks the world.

It is an open style, as bright as summer flowers, but it is difficult to last.

Lu Xun's talent is restrained.Although not as brilliant as Zhou Yu, it has fully influenced Jiangdong for a hundred years...

Which is better and which is worse, Cao Peng has his own opinion.

In Cao Peng's heart, Zhou Yu was no match for Lu Boyan.

Should he be removed?

This idea was fleeting in Cao Peng's mind.

He immediately smiled bitterly: I am still trembling and walking on thin ice, so what right do I have to make false claims to get rid of Lu Xun?

Thinking of this, Cao Peng sighed lightly.

——————————————————————————————

Back to Wu County, it was already afternoon.

When Xun Yan got out of the car, he saw Wang Lang hurried forward to meet him.

"Xiu Ruo, something happened!"

"Mr. Jing Xing, what happened?"

"Hey, I just got the news that the governor of Jiangxia, Huang Zu, killed Mi Heng 20 days ago."

"what?"

Xun Yan was also taken aback, frowning slightly.

However, he didn't seem to show too much injustice, he just nodded, sighed, and walked into the station.

"Xiu Ruo, Zi Bu invited me to go and write an article to crusade against Huang Zu, do you want to come?"

"Well, forget it." Xun Yan looked very indifferent, and nodded towards Wang Lang, "I'm a little tired, so Jing Xinggong will go for me."

"That's fine!"

Wang Lang seemed to think of something, but he didn't force it any more.

Cao Peng followed Xun Yan into the post station, and at the same time digested the news that Mi Heng was killed in his heart.

Mi Heng is a native of Qingzhou Plain. He has few talents to argue, but he is brave and arrogant.In layman's terms, it means that the person feels good about himself.It can be said that it is indeed talented.But he is too conceited, and even said that he is so conceited that no one can see it.

If a person is conceited, he is actually useless.

In the first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao moved the capital to Xu County by entrusting the emperor to order the princes.

You Heng Shiran came here at the age of 24.If you want qualifications, you don't have qualifications, and if you want status, you don't have status. It's just because you have a little talent, you think that there is no one in the world.In such a large Xudu, he only valued two people.One is Kong Rong and Kong Wenju, and the other is Yang Biao's son, Yang Xiu.

Gentlemen, what will happen to these two in the end?
Kong Rong thought that Mi Heng was talented and learned, so he mentioned this person in front of Cao Cao several times.

Cao Cao was curious, so he summoned him several times and wanted to talk to Mi Heng.But this Mi Heng took up the airs, claiming to be mad, refused to go, and criticized Cao Cao in private several times.Think about it, who is Cao Cao?How can I be happy in this heart?

I sincerely invite you, it's fine if you don't come, and scold me?

No matter from which point of view, Cao Peng thinks that Mi Heng's name is bigger than his reality, and he doesn't even understand the most basic principles of life.

Presumably, he wanted to use this method to improve his reputation.

But I don't want to, Cao Cao has a grudge against him...

Later when Xudu was built and Cao Cao held a banquet with wine, he thought of Mi Heng.Of course, Cao Cao also wanted to humiliate Ni Heng and want to dampen his spirit.So he ordered Ni Heng to be the drummer... What is Cao Cao thinking?Cao Peng didn't know.But in this way, it triggered a section of Mi Heng's naked clothes, which is popular in later generations, beating drums and scolding Cao, scolding all the people in Cao Wei's camp.

Even Guo Jia and others were not spared.

It is precisely because of this incident that Xun Yan dislikes a sensationalist like Mi Heng.

Cao Cao later sent Mi Heng to Liu Biao.Liu Biao and Jingzhou scholar-bureaucrats treated You Heng as if they were honored guests at the beginning, and their words and comments were not considered exaggerated unless You Heng nodded.Because of this, Ni Hengyou became arrogant and humiliated Liu Biao several times, which made Liu Biao very angry.

So Liu Biao sent Mi Heng to Huang Zu.

From Liu Biao's point of view, the Huang family in Jiangxia belonged to a well-known family. There was Taiwei Huang Qiong long ago, and now there are Jingxiang heroes such as Huang Chengyan. Presumably, Mi Heng will restrain himself.As for Huang Zu, he really respected Mi Heng at the beginning.Including Huang She who tried to kill Cao Peng at the beginning, he also treated Mi Hengruo the same.This Mi Heng is a bitch, if you treat him well, his bitch will itch.

Twenty days ago, Huang Zu hosted a banquet on a boat to entertain his friends.

During the dinner, Mi Heng made rude remarks again, which made Huang Zu very embarrassed.Therefore, Huang Zu scolded him... Actually, this is also a very common thing, within reason.Maybe Mi Heng drank too much and cursed on the boat.Thinking that Huang Zu was also the prefect of Jiangxia at any rate, the Huang family was more ancestral officials and officials, and there were many families of three princes.Huang Zu also drank too much and killed Mi Heng in a fit of rage.

When Huang She heard the news, she swam from the shore to the boat to stop it, but it was too late...

Mi Heng, the head fell to the ground.

Later generations often say, You Heng is arrogant.

But in Cao Peng's view, this guy is just a fool.

But in any case, Mi Heng is also a famous person.It's like that **** in the later generations who seeks people's attention by swearing.

The fact that Mi Heng was killed still caused shock in Jingxiang.

Jiangdong scholars may not be able to look up to Mi Heng, but if Mi Heng died in Huang Zu's hands, the nature would be different.

Sun Jian was killed by Huang Zu...

So Zhang Zhao summoned Jiangdong scholars and prepared to write an article to crusade against Huangzu Liu Biao.

Xun Yan was too lazy to participate in this kind of right and wrong.He didn't like Mi Heng, so even if Wang Lang invited him, he politely refused.

In the study, Xun Yan sneered three times.

"Feng Xiao once said that you Zhengping will not die well, and now he is right."

Cao Peng couldn't help but asked: "Sir, Ni Heng was killed, why did Zhang Zibu mobilize the crowd so much?"

Xun Yan smiled, "Zhang Zibu is nothing more than that, welcome to Wu Houer."

Zhang Zhao's crusade against Huang Zu was actually following Sun Ce's thoughts...

Cao Peng was silent when he heard this.

————————————————————————

It has to be said that Zhang Zhao's deeds indeed sparked a debate among Jiangdong scholars.

At the beginning, Cao Cao killed a Bian Rang, causing the Yanzhou scholars to riot; Mi Heng, of course, could not be compared with Bian Rang, but more or less, it still had a certain impact.In the next few days, the streets and alleys of Wu County were full of discussions about Huang Zu's killing of Mi Heng.

"I already knew that Liu Biao was fishing for fame, but now it seems that it is not bad."

"That's right, although you Zhengping also has some rebellious acts, but the crime is not worthy of death... He is not bad at learning, so how could he be beheaded?"

"If you want me to say, Marquis Wu is still magnificent."

"That's right, although Marquis Wu is not very old, his magnanimity can't even be compared with Cao Cao..."

Discussions like this are everywhere.

After Zhang Zhao issued the submission, he never made any sound or movement.

He seems to agree with this kind of private discussion among the people, and this kind of discussion, to a certain extent, has indeed enhanced Sun Ce's prestige.

Cao Peng, dressed in casual clothes, sat in the restaurant, quietly listening to people's discussions.

Beside him, Kan Ze seemed to be deaf, drinking wine and tasting dishes, showing a comfortable look.

It has been six days since I came back from Huating.Xun Yan seemed to have returned to the previous state.Visiting relatives and friends every day is very busy.

However, he no longer took Cao Peng to go out, and Xia Houlan basically followed him around.

This also makes Cao Peng very leisurely these days.When I have nothing to do, I chat with Kan Ze, and sometimes I go out for a glass of water and wine.What about Kan Ze?It seems that I have forgotten what Cao Peng said that day. Accompanying Cao Peng in the streets and alleys of Wu County, or introducing the people and customs of Wu County, or tasting delicious food and wine in such humble wine shops, is just as happy. .

"Brother, what do you think of the matter of Ni Heng?"

Kan Ze was drunk and shook his head, "Ah Fu, do you know him?"

"Who?"

"It's You Zhengping."

"Uh, I don't know."

"That's it, what does he do? He is alive and has nothing to do with you and me; he has nothing to do with death." As he spoke, Kan Ze suddenly opened his eyes and said softly: "You think Zhang Zhaozhen is wronged for you Zhengping ? In the final analysis, isn’t it to attack Liu Biao?”

Kan Ze didn't drink too much at all, and was even very clear-headed.

He saw it very clearly, and at the same time made Cao Peng more determined to win over Kan Ze...

The two sat in the restaurant for a while, then paid the bill, got up and left the restaurant.

The weather in April is unpredictable.

When it came out at noon, it was still sunny.

During this meal, it became overcast and cloudy, and it began to drizzle.

Kan Ze picked up the bamboo mat and said with a smile: "Ah Fu, you see, I still have the foresight...I have brought my rain gear, otherwise I will get wet again."

Cao Peng nodded, and also played the bamboo mat.

The two walked out from the alley, and saw a group of chariots and horses approaching slowly.

"what?"

Kan Ze hurriedly pulled Cao Peng aside, watching the horses and horses passing by with surprise in his eyes.

"what happened?"

"That's great, why did the chariots and horses from Jingzhou appear here?"

"Is it Jingzhou chariots and horses?"

Cao Peng couldn't help but look at it curiously.

I saw a line of chariots and horses, surrounded by more than two hundred soldiers, slowly passing along the narrow long street in Wu County.Among the soldiers, the leader is a young man in a brocade robe, with a tall horse on his hips, majestic and quite well-groomed.His body rose and fell with the horse's back, accompanied by the faint sound of bells.But if you don't listen carefully, it's really not easy to hear.Cao Peng couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

Non-mainstream?

And with a bell!
Just as Cao Peng was thinking, a carriage passed by him, and a shatterable, pretty face appeared behind the window...

His eyes, as bright as autumn water, passed over Cao Peng's body, and a strange color flashed across that pink dimple.

Cao Peng didn't pay attention, but followed Kan Ze forward.

Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice: "Ah Fu!"

The voice passed through the long street and reached Cao Peng's ears.Cao Peng's body shuddered Lingling for no reason, he turned around suddenly and turned his head.

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

"ball!"

I don't know why, but when I wrote about this familiar call, the scene in "Tokyo Love Story", where Akana Rika called Nagao Kanji under the streetlight with her hands behind her back, suddenly appeared in my mind.Twenty years later, many have been blurred, but the sound of "balls" left a deep impression on me, and I still can't forget it.

Well, as I write this, the first heroine officially debuts!

　It’s not that if you love him, he will love you; it’s not that if you love him [-]%, he will love you [-]%;Lixiang's love is actually like throwing a basketball against the wall. If the love can return to her arms, it is not someone exerting force, but just a reflection...
