Cao Thief

Chapter 364 Deng Ji Returns to Xudu

I thought I could come back before 09 o'clock, but I didn't want to get stuck in traffic, so I didn't get home until 30:[-].

After a busy day, I had dinner with Lin Hai, Tian Zi, and Ming Mei, so I owe another three thousand words today.

Plus the previous [-] words, a total of [-].

Tomorrow, I will make it up together, and I will never break my promise.

——————————————————————————————

Xu Du, calm down.

But under the calm, endless murderous intentions are hidden.

Kong Rong and others fired again, but it was not aimed at Cao Peng, but the old saying was repeated, and they talked about how Cao Cao and Yuan Shao coexisted.

In the hearts of Kong Rong and others, Yuan Shao is still stronger than Cao Cao after all.

Anyway, Yuan Shao is the son of the third son of the fourth generation, and Cao Cao... Although his family has been eunuchs for generations, he is still inferior to Yuan Shao.Moreover, there is another Cao Teng caught in it.In the past, when the party was imprisoned, scholars were suppressed so much by eunuchs that Kong Rong and others were always hostile to eunuchs.Even though Cao Teng had helped many party members when he was Da Changqiu, he was still a little implicated.

Fortunately, Cao Teng has a good character.

Even if Kong Rong and others were critical, they could only talk about how the eunuch was, but they couldn't attack Cao Teng too much.

In short, Cao Peng and Fu Wan seem to have been forgotten.Cao Cao has been silent, and Han Emperor Liu Xie has also remained silent, making everyone silent on this matter.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++
Tianlao is the place where the emperor imprisoned the ministers of the court.

Fu Wan's expression faltered, his face was pale and he leaned against the wall, his eyes were dull, and he looked lifeless.

Empress Fu took a bowl of stewed blood swallow, put it to Fu Wan's mouth with a spoon, and said softly: "Father, drink some."

After lying down like a puppet on a string, he took a sip.

"Queen, what does Your Majesty say?"

After Fu finished drinking a bowl of Xueyan porridge, he seemed to be in better spirits.

Empress Fu put the bowl aside and shook her head, "Your Majesty said that this matter requires Cao Sikong to speak, otherwise it will be very difficult for him to make a decision."

"Meng De, do you want me to die?"

After closing his eyes, he let out a long sigh.

"Then Wenju them..."

"Kong Rong and the others didn't say anything, they seemed to be waiting for Cao Sikong's answer."

Fu Wan showed a regretful expression, lowered his head, and said to himself: "One wrong step, one wrong step, this time I'm afraid it will be bad luck."

"Why did the father say that, the daughter will try to excuse the father."

"What about Bingguo?"

"kindness?"

"Is there any news from Bingguo?"

Empress Fu hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "There is no news about my younger brother, but there is no news that my younger brother has been arrested. He must be out of danger at this time. As long as he arrives in Longxi, he will be taken care of by Marquis Huaili. Cao Sikong is afraid." There is nothing he can do about it.

Father, my daughter has never understood why you..."

Empress Fu finally couldn't help it, and expressed the doubts in her heart.

Indeed, with Fu Wan's usual calmness and wisdom, he made such a mistake, which really made Empress Fu a little confused.

After I fell down, I closed my eyes and leaned against the wall. After a long time, I let out a long sigh, "It's hard to say!"

He is now beginning to regret that such a good situation has ended like this.Cao Cao now made it clear that he used Cao Peng to trap him so that he could not contact the outside world.As the queen, the daughter can take care of him to the greatest extent.But it is impossible to stay in this gloomy sky prison all day.Moreover, there are many things that Empress Fu can't come forward, and he must come forward before they can be carried out...

With Cao Cao's ability, how can he not see through the mystery.

Give up one Cao Peng, but cut off a resisting arm, no matter what, Cao Cao will not suffer.

"How is the situation in the palace?"

"not too good……"

"Uh?"

"Xun Shangshu has blocked the gate of the palace with Tian Yu as the Sima of another branch.

It has become very difficult for people in the palace to go out...and it is not easy for people outside the palace to come in.The Marquis of Linyi was blocked outside the palace gate several times, and Tian Yuyan said that he was not summoned by Tian's family, so he was not allowed to enter easily.Xuezi Changshi went out once, but found that the guards were very tight, and he couldn't easily meet Linyi Hou, so he had to return to the palace...There is one more thing, Mr. Zhang sent him..."

"What happened to Zhang Xiang?"

"Zhang Gongche was dismissed from office, and now the bus order has been replaced by someone else."

It is in line with Cao Cao's habit to cut off the connection with the imperial party with the force of thunder.The imperial party has no leader, and Liu Guang, Marquis of Linyi, has now become the focus of attention.As a result, I am afraid that Liu Guang will no longer be able to act as before, at least for now, this is the case.

"Guandu..."

"Today Xun Shangshu came to report that Duke Cao defeated Yuan Shao again in Guandu."

"Yuan Benchu, I am really disappointed."

Fu Wan pondered for a long time, opened his eyes and said: "Please Leng Changshi try to inform Marquis Linyi not to take any action for the time being, just wait and see the development of the situation.

Cao Mengde will let me go sooner or later!
The day when the Guandu War ended was when I was released from prison.

Before that, there must be no more rash actions.I think old Cao Cao, I'm afraid he has already sharpened his sword, so I don't want to touch his edge. "

Fu Wan has always been one of the leaders of the imperial party.

Although he made a wrong decision before, he soon woke up and started a new plan.

"Then Cao Peng..."

"Don't talk to him!" Fu Wan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Cao Youxue has hurt me a lot this time, but it's not something to worry about. From my point of view, he's just a reckless man who can't be a big deal. The reason why there is today The achievement is only due to the favor of the old thief Cao.

Sooner or later, one day, I will return the humiliation of breaking my wrist a hundred times to this person. "

After Fu finished speaking, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth, his pale face showed a morbid blush, wishing to tear Cao Peng to pieces.

Empress Fu frowned slightly, wanting to say something.

But Fu Wan said: "Daughter, don't say any more, you don't want to come to see me again, and Xun Yu dare not kill me. Don't participate too much in the affairs of the court in the future, you just need to serve His Majesty well." .I'm fine here and I'm not feeling well."

Empress Fu said in her heart: Father, I'm afraid you're wrong again!

Then Cao Peng is definitely not as simple as you imagined.Yang Taiwei brought in a letter, and once said that he should be more careful with Cao Youxue.How can a character who can make even Yang Taiwei fear him be simple?
However, after seeing Fu's haggard appearance, Empress Fu didn't know what to say.

After a while, she could only say softly: "Father, take care of yourself."

"By the way, it's really impossible to find a way to contact Bingguo. Let him go to Wuwei and go directly to Ma Teng or Han Sui, and don't come back."

"Yes!"

Empress Fu responded meekly, and stayed with Fu for a while before taking her farewell and leaving.

After walking out of the dungeon, she boarded the luan chariot.

"Xuezi!"

"The servant is here."

Empress Fu's phoenix eyes flickered with anger, and said softly: "Find a chance and kill that Cao Youxue."

Outside the car, the servant Leng Fei was stunned, then nodded and said: "Don't worry, the queen, I have made a note... However, Cao Peng is now being detained in the General Wei's mansion, and the guards are strict. If you want to kill him, I'm afraid it will take a while." It is also difficult to succeed, at this time, please..."

"Before the war is over, don't ruin his life.

After the war is over, I want to see the head of Cao Youxue. "

"The slaves obey!"

The Luan car walked towards the Anle Palace along the road paved with rammed gravel.

With gray hair and a beardless white face, Leng Fei stopped and glanced in the direction of General Wei's mansion, with the corner of his mouth curled up, revealing a sneering sneer.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++
Before you know it, it's already April.

It has been almost 30 days since Cao Peng was imprisoned in the cell of General Wei's Mansion!
For 30 days, he lived very leisurely.Although he was in a big prison, the jailers here did not dare to be negligent, so they did not suffer any crimes.Coupled with the assistance of Xia Houlan and others, Cao Peng's life is more nourishing.If you have nothing to do, you can teach some boxing skills to those Feiyans, or compete with Xia Houlan in martial arts.Although Cao Ren didn't come to visit him, he took good care of him.

Cao Peng said that he wanted to read a book.

So Cao Ren ordered someone to bring some books for his entertainment.

At the same time, he can also get the battle situation ahead in the first time.Jia Xinghui ordered people to send the battle reports from Guandu to Cao Peng from time to time.

Sometimes, Jia Xing would come to visit Cao Peng in the prison, gossip and talk about local customs.

The days passed like this.

The battle of Guandu became more and more intense.

And Cao Peng seems to be at ease sitting in prison...

For him, the Battle of Guandu is over!At the moment when the Yanjin Xiaotan battle ended, his trip to Guandu was over.

Around Cao Cao gathered the world's top advisers.

In addition to Xun Yu, Cao Cao's five great counselors, Guo Jiacheng Yu, Jia Xu and Xun You, were all on the front line, advising Cao Cao.At the same time, Cao Cao has first-class commanders and super-class generals under his command.Haixi's bumper harvest last year eased the disaster in Runan, and also prevented Xudu from suffering too much damage.In the granary, the supplies and grain were piled up like a mountain, and Cao Cao no longer had to worry about grain and grass in history.

The Battle of Guandu was waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity for Cao Cao to win a big victory...

Before that, there must be a long stalemate.

Cao Peng couldn't help much, and it was impossible to give Cao Cao any advice.

With Guo Jia and the others around, how could Cao Cao lack strategy?As for Wuchao... Cao Peng also thought about it and reminded Cao Cao.But after thinking about it, he stopped the thought.God knows if Yuan Shao has experienced so many setbacks, will he store food and grass in Wuchao like in history?Even if it is stored in Wuchao, if Cao Cao asks him, how would he know...Cao Peng may not be able to answer.

And be patient!
Waiting for Xu You to abandon the dark and turn to the light...

Outside the window, it started to rain lightly.

Cao Peng stood in the small room and practiced half-step Bengquan.

He asked the jailer to put a pair of wooden shackles on him, and then chained his legs and feet.

It is said that Guo Yunshen, the master of Chinese martial arts in history and the founder of Banbu Bengquan, created Banbu Bengquan under such conditions.

After practicing hard on the Seven Transformations of the White Tiger, Cao Peng has vaguely grasped the 'potential' contained in the Seven Transformations of the White Tiger.

Step, punch, back; step, punch, back...

Feeling the movement of strength in the body, familiar with the wonderful changes brought about by the beating of every muscle.In this kind of practice, Cao Peng gradually entered a strange state.Every movement is done unconsciously, pushing with force, fascia grows, punching makes the joints of the whole body explode, breathing almost as if there is no breath, and from time to time, there are tiger roars from the mouth.

Xia Houlan is teaching the Eight Opening Styles in Feiyan Bajiquan.

Suddenly, in the prison room, there was a roar that was almost like a beast.

He stopped quickly and turned to look at Cao Peng.

The steps between the square inches, the punches... produced waves of air currents.The fierceness of the half-step Bengquan, coupled with the fierceness of the white tiger's seven transformations, made Cao Peng look like a tiger descending the mountain, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura.

Xia Houlan's eyes lit up, and after a while, she sighed softly.

"Sima, son, this is..."

"My lord is understanding!"

"Comprehend what?"

"Potential!"

For flyers, what is 'potential'?Didn't know much about it.

Most of what they have mastered are ordinary fighting techniques, but in terms of martial arts, they are just laymen now.

This martial art has nothing to do with how many people kill people. Most of the time, it relies on a kind of comprehension.

Cao Peng was on the Xiaotan battlefield, and he first understood the mystery of "power".After returning to Xudu, Cao Peng seemed to have entered a very quiet state after experiencing the excitement of Fu Wan.Although he was imprisoned, it also gave him an environment to slowly tidy up and explore.

Since his birth, Cao Peng has also experienced countless fights.

He has practiced with Lu Bu, tried tricks with Dian Wei, and even participated in battles of life and death.

He recalled and refined all the things he had experienced in the past.

Although, he still failed to develop a 'potential' and reach the level of a super-class general.But Cao Peng is confident that if he fights Gan Ning again, at least he can make ten or twenty moves under Gan Ning's command.These ten moves and twenty moves were based on the premise that Gan Ning had used all his strength.

Cao Peng, overwhelmed Bengquan time and time again, his clothes were soaked in sweat.

The roar of the tiger in the cell lasted for nearly an hour, and finally stopped.

Xia Houlan stepped forward and handed over a dry towel.Cao Peng took it and wiped the sweat off his face, feeling refreshed and energetic.

"Captain Cao, someone is here to see you!"

Outside the cell, the jailer suddenly shouted loudly.

Cao Peng was taken aback, and asked, "Who!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a one-armed young man, wearing a green shirt, carrying a food box, led by the jailer, to the door of the cell.

"Brother-in-law?"

Cao Peng couldn't help being surprised when he saw the young man.

Deng Ji had previously stayed under the command of Xu Wei in Xuzhou and served as the deputy driver.Cao Peng could predict that Deng Ji would return to Xudu sooner or later...

However, he did not expect that Deng Ji would come back at this time.

Xia Houlan and the others were very sensible and walked out of the cell and entered another room.

Deng Ji thanked the jailer and walked into the cell.He smiled at Cao Peng, and put down the food box in his hand, "Ah Fu, you have been imprisoned, but the whole family is very anxious. Seeing you like this today, you must have not suffered... Here, it is good ?”

"Brother-in-law, how can there be a good word for this kind of ball place?"

While talking, Cao Peng took two steps forward and gave Deng Ji a warm hug.

"Brother-in-law, when did you come back?"

"It's noon today!"

"Is everything in Xuzhou settled?"

"Well, it's resolved."

Deng Ji seemed more composed than before.

Thin cheeks, thin body, short beard under the jaw, exuding a heroic spirit.

He looked at Cao Peng quietly, and after a while, he suddenly stretched out his single arm and hugged Cao Peng tightly in his arms, "Ah Fu, I have made you wronged."

When Deng Ji returned to Xudu this time, he was ordered to escort [-] shi of grain and grass.

Regardless of the fact that Xu Duku's mansion has food in stock, it is also quite stressful to supply the consumption of tens of thousands of troops.

Therefore, when the change in Donghai County was suppressed, Liu Bei fled in embarrassment, and the situation in Xuzhou gradually stabilized, Xu Wei ordered Deng Ji to escort the grain and grass and return to Xudu.Later, Xuzhou will send another [-] stones of grain and grass to ensure the smooth progress of the Battle of Guandu.After Deng Ji returned to Xudu, he learned that something serious happened at home.First, his wife escaped death, and then Cao Peng was imprisoned for revenge.

If Deng Ji had a little selfishness before, after hearing this news, his selfishness disappeared immediately.

"If you weren't at home, your sister would almost..."

"Hey, brother-in-law, I see what you said, my elder sister is your wife and also my sister.

We are a family, how can I watch those people ride on our head and shit?It's a pity that the damned Fu Jun still left. "

Deng Ji's eyes suddenly turned red!

After the two sat down in the cell, they told each other their parting feelings.

Cao Peng asked, "Brother-in-law, where is Liu Bei now?"

When Liu Bei was mentioned, Deng Ji immediately showed shame.

"Well, it's hard to say. After General Xiahou broke through Donghai County, Liu Bei was defeated and fled to Pengcheng Kingdom.

I was ordered to pursue this beast with General Zhu Ling, but I didn't want this beast to be cunning and cunning.I lost hundreds of soldiers, and instead of catching Liu Bei, he escaped by the Huai River... I wanted to continue the pursuit, but I was afraid of being tricked.Now, he has fled to Huainan. "

Run away by this guy again!

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

However, he didn't mean to blame Deng Ji, because he knew very well that Liu Bei's ability to escape might be even stronger than his ancestor Liu Bang.At the beginning, Cao Cao's five-way army encircled Liu Bei, but he forcibly killed a bloody road and fled to Qingzhou.

With Deng Ji's ability, it is indeed difficult to deal with Liu Bei.

That guy is definitely a cunning and cunning person.

However, where will Liu Bei flee to?

Will he flee to Jingzhou and join Liu Biao?Liu Biao is now dealing with Sun Quan, so I'm afraid he may not take Liu Bei in... Or, he hides and waits for an opportunity?Cao Peng began to feel a headache. The plot of the Three Kingdoms in his memory became more and more blurred with the passage of time.

The only thing Cao Peng can be sure of is that Liu Bei will eventually join Liu Biao.

"Brother-in-law, is everything okay at home?"

"Everything is fine... Although your sister can't get out of bed and walk, she can already sit up. Yueying has been taking care of A Niang and your sister, so don't worry. It's just that A Niang misses you very much and has said several times that she wants to see you , but was stopped by his father, so he often cried."

Cao Peng was silent after hearing this!

"Brother-in-law, you go back and tell Mommy, so that she won't be sad.

At the latest six months, I will definitely be able to go out... Cao Gong put me in prison, which is actually a kind of protection, please don't worry about it, Auntie. "

Deng Ji nodded slightly.

"There is one more thing I need to discuss with you."

"kindness?"

Deng Ji poured Cao Peng a glass of wine and said softly: "This matter is related to the development of Haixi. When I came back, Zishan asked me to ask you for advice."

"Oh?"

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help showing doubts.
