Cao Thief

Chapter 278 Breaking Out in a Cold Sweat (23)

Cao Peng was calm and calm, Zhang Tai's face was red.

This level is naturally clear at a glance.When Zhang Tai was still huddled in the dilapidated Luoyang City, eating, drinking and having fun with a bunch of idlers to pass the time, Cao Peng, who was seven or eight years younger than him, was already sitting at the same table with famous Confucian scholars, talking loudly...

How can this make Zhang Tai feel embarrassed?

"Dare to ask, who is the piano player?"

However, Zhang Tai still refused to bow his head, and asked with a straight neck.

Cao Peng took a sip of the apricot blossom wine, and said with a relaxed expression: "There is a proverb in Jiangdong: There is a mistake in the song, Zhou Langgu, it is Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin... By the way, it seems that Zhou Lang and Ziyu are about the same age, and they should be young men. Junjie is really a role model for my generation, and it is admirable."

Everyone heard and listened, but there was no sound.

Zhou Yu has now gained fame. After capturing Danyang last year, the general of the Ming and Han Dynasties, Wu Hou Sun Ce worshiped Zhou Yu as the Central Guard and Jiangxia Prefect (vacant position).

On Cao Peng's face, there was a look of contempt.

Let's see, people also play music, the song is wrong, Zhou Langgu, how famous is it?But people are not only playing music, but also all-round talents in civil and military affairs.It seems to be about the same age as you, and he is already a prefect with real power and a salary of two thousand shi.What about you?

Zhang Tai was so choked that he couldn't speak a word.

Cao Peng found that Xuan Shuo had a flash of light, which was fleeting, and he regained his calm.

This Xuanshuo is not easy!
In his eyes, there seemed to be memories, more of a kind of unwillingness.

Perhaps feeling the attention from Cao Peng's eyes, Xuan Shuo smiled slightly, and raised a glass to invite wine, while Cao Peng returned the courtesy and drank it all down.

"Is there such a person in the world?"

Yue Guan couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion, and then sighed softly.

Chi Zhong suddenly said: "I heard that Mr. Cao is famous all over the world with [-] characters, and his literary talent is outstanding. Entering a happy gathering, why don't you compose a poem?"

"what?"

Chi Zhong smiled, "Why don't we use Layman Guan as the topic, how about it?"

"About me?"

Yue Guan was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

Her smile brightened the eyes of everyone in the pavilion, Zhang Liang and Zhang Tai showed their true colors as disciples, swallowed, and then applauded in unison.

As far as Zhang Tai is concerned, he needs to save this face.

For Zhang Liang, he wants to support his fellow villagers.

Ke Chizhong...

Cao Peng closed his eyes slightly, and glanced at Chi Zhong.

Seeing that Chi Zhong pretended to have nothing to do with him on the surface, but the corner of his eye kept sweeping over Yue Guan.

Fuck, you want to please a beautiful woman, what are you doing with me?
"Young master, how about..."

Shi A saw Cao Peng's unhappiness and said in a low voice.

Cao Peng waved his hand, looked at Chi Zhong, and then at Yue Guan who looked expectant, and suddenly a teasing thought arose in his heart...

He stood up and paced the room.

But Zhang Taiyueguan and the others held their breath and looked at Cao Peng quietly.

The corner of Xuan Shuo's mouth outlined a smile, and he looked at Cao Peng curiously, waiting for his answer.

One step, two steps, three steps...

When Cao Peng took the seventh step, he stopped suddenly.

"The chrysanthemum nunnery in the chrysanthemum dock, and the chrysanthemum fairy lives in the chrysanthemum nunnery. The chrysanthemum fairy grows chrysanthemum branches and offers chrysanthemums as wine money."

"It's quite fair, but it's very ordinary, so it's not a good sentence."

Zhang Tai commented with a sneer, and his words contained sarcasm.

"Don't worry, just listen to the following." Xuanshuo said: "I want to come to the eight hundred sons, but there are still good sentences to come, why should you and I be anxious?"

Before the words fell, Cao Peng sang again.

"When drunk, one just sits in front of the flowers. When drunk, one needs to sleep with flowers. Half drunk and half awake day after day, flowers bloom and fall year after year.

I hope that the old and dead flower wine room will not bow in front of the horses and horses.Those who are rich are interested in cars, dust and horses, and those who are poor are those who are poor.

If wealth and honor are compared to poverty and poverty, one is on the ground and the other is on the sky.If you compare poverty and lowliness to chariots and horses, you can't drive but you can sleep.

The world laughs that you are too crazy, and I laugh that the world can't see through.There are no tombs of heroes in the five tombs, no flowers and no wine to hoe the fields. "

After Cao Peng recited it, he grabbed Tongjue and staggered to the Yueguan case.He stretched out his hand and grabbed Yueguan's pink and tender jade arm, "Chrysanthemum Immortal, I respect you."

Yueguan's jade arm is soft as if there is no bone, and the touch is smooth and soft.

At the beginning, when listening to Cao Peng's poems, she just smiled and said nothing.

But in the end, I couldn't help but feel my heart fluttering, and some couldn't help myself.

With beautiful eyes and beautiful eyes, Chrysanthemum Immortal held the long copper cup in her slender hands, biting her red lips, her pink dimple was flushed, and said softly: "Thank you, my lord."

After all, she was going to drink.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Cao Peng...

"Chrysanthemum Immortal, this drinking method is really boring.

How about this, you and I intersect our arms and drink together? "

While talking, Cao Peng gave Chi Zhong a glance.

If you ask me to go into the water, I will tease your sweetheart.He passed his arm through the inside of Yueguan's arm, then bent his elbow and placed the Tongjue to his lips.With a slight tilt of his body, he stuck to the mass of tenderness in front of Yue Guan's chest.Yue Guan's pink dimple was flushed, but he followed Cao Peng's way of drinking. He handed over a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. He could not help breathing quickly, and the nephrite jade on his chest rose and fell, rubbing Cao Peng's arm.

Chi Zhong's face turned pale.

Cao Peng couldn't help feeling a little pleased, and wrapped Yue Guan's arm around the banquet.

"The spring is beautiful in Luoyang city, but the youth's spring clothes are thin.

Cherish the owner's heart, wine is also deeply affectionate.Don't worry about the short spring leak, don't complain that the gold cup is full.When you meet wine and hehe, how much can life be... happy, happy! "

But seeing Yue Guan's winking eyes like silk, they almost stuck to Cao Peng's body.

And Chi Zhong's face turned even paler, and after a while, he lowered his head and stopped speaking.

"It's a great honor for Cao Peng to sit at the same table with you today...but I will go to Luhun in the future, so I have to return early.

Gentlemen, if there is a destiny, you and I will meet again.At that time, I would like to hear the Master's Dharma, listen to the fairy music, and of course Tzuyu's fairy music. "

Cao Peng drank three lords in a row, bid farewell and left.

Shi A got up quickly and followed behind Cao Peng.

Everyone couldn't help being moved by Cao Peng's heroism, and left their seats one after another.Even if Chi Zhong was dissatisfied, he could only force his smile at this time.

"This son will become a great weapon!"

Hearing that Cao Peng's hearty laughter was fading away, Xuan Shuo couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

Glancing at the youthful Yueguan, he suddenly let out a sneer in his heart, and then he returned to the appearance of the old god before...

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

Cao Peng laughed and left, boarded the chariot, still couldn't help laughing.

I don't know if later generations of Tang Bohu can still pretend to be aggressive?Today's chrysanthemum nunnery song can be regarded as the achievement of the chrysanthemum fairy, chrysanthemum pass.

As everyone knows, in later generations, chrysanthemum contains deep meaning.

At that time, how will people judge this chrysanthemum fairy?

The more he thought about it, the more interesting Cao Peng found it, and he couldn't stop laughing in the car.Outside the car, Xia Houlan and the two Feiyan guards looked at a loss.They couldn't figure it out, it was so good, what the hell was Cao Peng laughing in the car?Could it be that something ridiculous happened in the White Horse Temple?However, as a family general, he would not ask about the affairs of the master's family, so he could only hide it in his heart.

Exit the White Horse Temple and walk slowly along the official road.

Luoshui rushes all the way to the east.

In the night, Beiman Mountain is majestic, like a huge barrier.

Cao Peng stopped laughing, took a deep breath, and leaned against the wall of the car, feeling a little groggy.

I'm in a hurry!

In the end, the Sanjue fell into his belly, so I was in a hurry!

It's impossible to patronize pretending to be coercive... Although the wine in the Eastern Han Dynasty was not distilled, it tasted smooth, but its aftertaste was not small.

When the wind blows, Cao Peng feels the energy of the wine surge.

"Stop, stop!"

Cao Peng jumped off the carriage, leaned on a willow tree, and vomited.

What a shame!
But fortunately, I didn't spit out wine in front of everyone in the White Horse Temple, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.

"Ziyou, when you go back, don't talk nonsense."

Xia Houlan held back her laughter, nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I know the seriousness."

Only then did Cao Peng feel relieved, and stood by the river, doing a chest-expanding movement.He raised his head and greedily took a deep breath of the air filled with the fragrance of flowers.In later generations, such fresh air should not be smelled.He scratched his head, heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and prepared to board the car.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a cart coming from the side road.

One person was sitting in the car, and two people were pushing behind.Presumably the local farmers came home...

Cao Peng didn't pay attention, who knew that when the cart reached the river, the person pushing the cart stopped suddenly and pulled the cart suddenly.The person sitting in the car fell into the river at one end.After hearing a plop, the two men pushing the cart turned around and prepared to leave.Cao Peng shuddered Lingling, and a thought flashed through his mind, murder!He hurriedly shouted: "Wu that thief, don't go!"

Originally, the person pushing the cart didn't see Cao Peng, so he didn't pay attention.

But hearing Cao Peng's yelling, the two men pushing the cart dropped the cart and ran away.

"Ziyou, catch them!"

Xia Houlan hurriedly rode his horse to chase after him, but the two men immediately got into a dense forest when they saw Xia Houlan chasing him on horseback.

Cao Peng took Fei Xuan and ran to the river.

"Save people, save people quickly!"

These two Feiyan are both from Danyang.

Therefore, it is not bad for water.Hearing Cao Peng's shout, the two immediately jumped into the river, while Cao Peng stood on the bank, feeling dizzy.

When something like this happened, I broke out in a cold sweat.

The previous alcoholism immediately disappeared without a trace, he patted his forehead lightly, turned around and walked to the side of the cart, and took a closer look.

This is a very ordinary cart with no markings.

Xia Houlan came back with a look of shame on his face, "My lord, let those two thieves run away."

"Ran?"

"Well, they seem to be very familiar with the terrain. They got into the woods, turned here and there, and disappeared. Although I have horses, but..."

"Okay, I got it!"

Cao Peng also calmed down a lot now, stood up, and fell silent.

"Ziyou, you go to the government office immediately and ask fourth brother to bring someone over."

"Here!"

Xia Houlan bowed her hands to accept the order, pulled the saddle to recognize the stirrup, and left with a whip.Cao Peng continued to stay by the river, observing the surrounding terrain.Not far away is Beiman Mountain. Luoshui walks around Beiman Mountain, and there are many villages nearby.Xia Houlan said that the two people were very familiar with the terrain, that is to say, they were locals.Cao Peng patted his forehead, and while he was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of water coming from the river, and two flying dragons, panting, boarded the river bank.

"What about people?"

"Young master, no one..."

"what?"

"We've found the bottom of the river, but we still haven't found a body. Nothing but silt, just silt."

"How could this be?"

When Cao Peng heard this, he was stunned.

He saw with his own eyes that those two people threw the person in the car into the river. How could they not find the body?He walked quickly to the river, looked at the river, and asked after a while: "Could it be that the river was so fast that it swept people away? That's why you didn't find it."

"Impossible, the river is not too fast.

If it is on the river, this kind of situation may happen.But it's impossible for this kind of current to sweep people away... Li Xian, why don't we go down and have a look? "

A Fei Yan opened his mouth and said.

Fei Yan named Li Xian nodded, "Well, let's separate, Da Ya, you go up, and I go down...Young master, what do you think?"

"Then work hard for you."

Li Xian and Da Ya rested for a while, then jumped into the river again.

Cao Peng stood on the shore, frowning with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.

In the distance, people shouted and neighed.

Xia Houlan returned to the Northern Lieutenant Office and woke up Zhu Zan.Upon hearing this, Zhu Zan ordered a dozen servants, and hurried over with Xia Houlan.

"Youxue, how's the situation?"

Zhu Zan shouted from afar.

Cao Peng turned around and waved to Zhu Zan.

"Fourth brother, I'm sorry I called you over so late."

"What are you talking about? A certain is Luoyang Beibei Wei, and this section happens to be under my rule. How can I ignore a murder case? Tell me quickly, what is going on? Where is the murderer? Where's the body?"

"The murderer ran away, but according to what Ziyou said, he should be someone nearby, not too far away.

The body...hasn't been found yet.I saw them push people into the river with my own eyes, but for some reason, I sent people down to salvage, but found nothing... By the way, there is also this car, which was left by the murderer, but I can't see any clues . "

Whoa!

Big Tooth protruded from the river downstream, "My lord, it's still not there."

"Young master, I didn't find it here either."

Cao Peng frowned, and raised his voice: "Da Ya, Li Xian, you guys come up first."

As he spoke, he turned around and said to Zhu Zan, "I still haven't found the body. I asked Da Ya and Li to search for things first, but nothing was found. Fourth brother, this matter seems a bit strange, or you can find a few more people to go down. See if you can find anything?"

Zhu Zan thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's the only way."

Then, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on what's going on here. It looks like you drank a lot, so go back and rest first... You have to leave tomorrow. Ziyou, you accompany your young master Go back first. Ah Fu, don’t worry, I will continue to order people to salvage.”

Exhaling heavily, Cao Peng nodded.

"Then please fourth brother!"

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

However, after returning to the official office, Cao Peng could not sleep.

He lay on the couch, tossing and turning for most of the night, and barely closed his eyes until the time passed.I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly I heard a loud noise from outside the house.Cao Peng opened his eyes, sat up with a huff, and walked out of the guest room in cloaked clothes.

I saw that Zhu Zan was talking to Xia Houlan with a tired face.

"Ah Fu, I woke you up."

"Fourth brother, how is the situation?"

Zhu Zan gave a wry smile, shook his head and said, "I still haven't found anything..."
