Cao Thief

Chapter 401 Zhou Liang
There was thunder and lightning just now, and I didn't even dare to turn on the computer.

Finally caught up, the second update is here!

————————————————————————

Liu Guang is the official envoy, and he still bears the name of a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

Among the entire mission, he is the most honorable and has the largest title.The so-called corpse is nothing more than a cover-up, to give you an explanation.After all, everyone has seen that the assassin who assassinated Cao Peng on the river was a eunuch.In the entire mission, the eunuchs were under Zhou Liang's management, and Zhou Liang was under Liu Guang's command, so the origin of the assassin was ready to be revealed.Liu Guang threw out two eunuchs, just to clean up the relationship: the assassin is not mine!
This kind of method can be used to fool those small shrimps, but Tian Yu and Pangtong, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp?
Liu Guang's meaning is very clear: this matter ends here!
The assassin is dead, and his accomplices have been found, so there is no need to continue the investigation, lest the business be delayed...

As for Tian Yu, it's impossible to bring someone in to search, that would be really embarrassing.Throughout the ages, most of them are the same.Officials are hypocritical, laughing in front of their faces, and stabbing behind their backs, even if they know it in their hearts, it is impossible to really tear their faces.Even if you can't wait to tear each other into pieces, you must be friendly to each other on the surface.

Cao Peng sneered in his heart.

Liu Guang's actions cleared the water, but it also proved one thing: the dead eunuch must still be alive.

Nima, the East is indeed undefeated!

Hit by two arrows, cut by me once, then fell into the river and drowned for so long, how could he not die?The fate of this dead eunuch is really hard enough, and he has a little bit of demeanor.However, the more you are like this, the more I want to kill you.

"Shiyuan, tell Deputy Envoy Hetian that I want to see Zhou Liang."

Pang Tong smiled, "I will give orders myself!"

He got up and walked to the door of the tent, and looked at the sky.Pang Tong turned back and said, "Ah Fu, rest for a while, I will call you when the time comes."

"it is good!"

After Cao Peng finished speaking, he lay down again.

In my mind, the scene on the river still kept reappearing, drowsy, and fell asleep again...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++
Cao Peng is sick!

But it's not pretending, it's really sick.

It's no wonder that he was traumatized and shocked by the icy river water... When he got off the boat, he was blown by a small wind at the ferry, so that when he set off the next day, Cao Peng started to have a fever.Fortunately, he is in good health and has the typhoid pills prepared by Zhang Zhongjing, so his illness is not serious, but it is indeed difficult for him to ride a horse.

After Tian Yu investigated, he immediately equipped Cao Peng with a carriage.

After sleeping in the car and sweating all over, he finally relieved a lot.It's just that the body is still a little weak, and there are internal injuries on the body, so that Cao Peng is listless all day, making people feel a little sluggish.

"Youxue, it's over, it's over!"

When Tian Yu saw Cao Peng's haggard appearance, he couldn't help shaking his head again and again.

"What happened?"

"It's just for you to pretend. Why do you make yourself look like this?"

"I'm really uncomfortable..."

Cao Peng roared sharply, and then coughed violently.

"Well, well, you're sick."

"You have the disease!"

Tian Yu smiled, and did not argue with Cao Peng, and said through the car window: "Sleeping in the Lingwu Valley tonight, I have made an appointment with Zhou Liang to enjoy the night of Helan. You prepare, how to persuade, I believe you have already There is a surefire solution.”

Inside the car, there was a moment of silence.

Lingwu Valley is located at Helan Mountain Pass.

During the period of Qin Shihuang, the first emperor sent general Meng Tian with 30 troops to fight the Xiongnu decisively, and immediately took effective control of this place.However, due to the influence of national power, the forces of the Great Qin Dynasty have never been able to cross the Yellow River, but only used the Yellow River as a fortress.

In the Han Dynasty, Lian County was established near Lingwu Valley, which can be regarded as bringing Xitao into the territory.But in fact, the Han Dynasty's control over Xitao was not particularly tyrannical.At least, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lian County was almost non-existent...

Speaking of Lingwu Valley, we must talk about Lingwu and Lingzhou.

In 191 BC, there was a county seat on the west bank of the Yellow River.Because it is close to Helan Mountain, and there is Lingwu Valley on Helan Mountain, so there is the saying of Lingwu.In 159 A.D., Taiwei Duan Jiong was defeated in Fengyi Mountain first, and then led his troops to build the foundation.Xian Ling fled all the way, and was overtaken by Duan Jiong in Lingwu Valley, only to kill Xian Ling and quit Xitao.

The chariots and horses of the mission camped in Lingwu Valley that night.

Zhou Liang walked out of the gate with a gloomy face and walked along the mountain road.The purpose of his trip was to the top of the mountain next to Lingwu Valley. It is said that the scenery there is beautiful and it can be regarded as a major local feature.During this period of time, he was quite depressed.I thought that even if Liu Guang was the envoy to the Xiongnu in an upright manner this time, he could still have a good time.

In Xudu, it was really aggrieved!
There are princes and nobles everywhere, and he is nothing at all as a servant in the middle palace.

On the surface, the servants of the middle palace also have a salary of two thousand stones, which is comparable to that of Jiuqing.But in fact, as a servant in the middle palace, he has no power at all.Not to mention that he has a great Changqiu, but it's just those forbidden soldiers in the palace, and he can't order them around.Zhou Liang can command, but he has dozens of eunuchs under his command, so where does he have any power?
This mission to the Huns is his opportunity.

However, Liu Guang has taken over the power after crossing the Yellow River, and his deputy envoy is almost useless.

Zhou Liang could faintly guess Tian Yu's true intention of inviting him to enjoy the scenery.Could it be that Tian Guorang is planning to win me over?

If he really wanted to win me over, it would be a good choice.

Now the Han Dynasty is weak, and Cao Sikong monopolizes power.In the future, when Cao Sikong unifies the world, then I will also be a veteran hero.

In Zhou Liang's heart, why didn't he want to join Cao Cao.

But suffering from no opportunities, let alone any good outlets...

Eunuchs also have human rights.

If the eunuch is attached, he must hug his thigh.

Tian Yu...it seems that the portion is not enough.But Mr. Cao is very suitable!However, since Xiping, the struggle between scholars and eunuchs has never stopped.I think back when the ten permanent attendants gained power, they suppressed the scholars too hard.

Mr. Cao is a famous scholar in Qingliu today, and the name of Cao Sanpian is well-known all over the world...

Zhou Liang was really not sure, if he went to join Cao Peng, would Cao Peng take him in?
Along the way, worry about gains and losses.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and Zhou Liangren was so fat that when he reached the top of the mountain, he was out of breath and drenched in sweat.

"Cao, Captain Cao?"

When Zhou Liang climbed to the top of the mountain, he saw two people standing on the top of the mountain.

One is Cao Peng, and the other is Hande.

With their backs to Zhou Liang, the two were watching the scenery of Lingwu Valley.

Hearing Zhou Liang's voice, Cao Peng turned around and looked at Zhou Liang with a slight smile.

Under the moonlight, Cao Peng was dressed in white.The mountain wind blows, the sleeves of the clothes are rolled up and fluttering, like a fairy...

"Zhou Zhonggong, come to enjoy the moon too?"

Zhou Liang was stunned, then laughed and said: "Yes, I heard that Lingwu Valley is very beautiful at night, and the miscellaneous families have nothing to do, so come and see."

"Just to see?"

Cao Peng stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Liang's arm.

"Such beautiful scenery, how can you just look at it, but also need to savor it with your heart."

"This one……"

Both of them have something in their words, hiding mystery.As the wind passed by, Cao Peng coughed twice, turned his head and looked towards the mountain road.

"Young Master Cao, those two are confidantes of the Miscellaneous Family."

"It's good to be a confidant. A confidant can meet each other frankly."

Zhou Liang shivered slightly, and from Cao Peng's words, he heard his intentions.

Do you want to be my confidant?By being my confidant, I can speak openly with you instead of hiding it.

Is this trying to recruit me?
Zhou Liang's heart moved, and he was about to speak, but his eyes widened, and he was speechless for a long time.

I saw Cao Peng holding a stack of thin papers in his hand, which looked like... the money bills in the silver building in the legend.

"I have 100 million yuan here. If Zhou Zhonggong accepts it, you and I will be able to meet each other honestly."

Buying, this is naked buying!
One million dollars is not a small sum.

Zhou Liang rolled his eyes, hesitating in his heart: Should I be up for grabs?Maybe Mr. Cao will give me some more?

Most eunuchs are often a little distorted in their hearts.

There are many hobbies, but there is a common problem, that is greed for money.

However, since the annihilation of the ten permanent servants, the eunuch's income has been greatly reduced.Whether it is Emperor Han, Dong Zhuo before, or Cao Cao now, the restrictions on eunuchs are extremely strict, and they are rarely given power, which also greatly reduces the income of eunuchs.As a servant of the central palace, Zhou Liang would be a very lucrative position in the era of ten permanent servants.But now... Zhou Liang himself is too embarrassed to say that he is an eunuch with clear soup and little water.

How can a eunuch be as miserable as I am, living on a meager salary, without even a mansion outside the palace?

However, he suddenly saw that Han De's big hand was placed on the handle of the knife.

"Zhou Zhonggong, it's so late, the mountain road must be difficult to walk."

Zhou Liang shuddered Lingling, without saying a word, he stretched out his hand to take the money ticket from Cao Peng, "Master, if the miscellaneous family doesn't accept it, you will look down on you, sir?"

"clever!"

Cao Peng's face suddenly straightened, and he turned to look at Zhou Liang and said, "Zhou Zhonggong, let's open the window and speak plainly... I asked you to come here tonight because I have one thing to ask. If Zhou Zhonggong agrees, the future will be very bad Estimate.

Although Peng is only a lieutenant Zheng Qiang now, presumably Zhou Zhonggong also knows the mystery of this.

I want to know, who is the person who assassinated me? "

Zhou Liang hesitated for a moment. He looked at Cao Peng, gritted his teeth, and said softly, "Leng Fei, former servant."

"Leng Fei?"

"This person is His Majesty's confidant, and he relied heavily on him as early as in Chang'an.

It's just that Leng Fei made a sudden move this time, and the Zajia didn't know about it beforehand... To tell you the truth, Mr. Cao, after Linyihou took over as envoy, the Zajia didn't know anything.Miscellaneous families dare not take care of Linyi Hou's affairs, and they can't take care of them. "

Cao Peng laughed loudly when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to hook Zhou Liang's neck.

He is much taller than Zhou Liang, and he lowered his head and said softly, "Zhou Zhonggong, you and I are working under the command of the Marquis of Linyi, and everything is up to the Marquis of Linyi's opinion. I invite you here because I hope you can help me keep an eye on some... You also know that I can't get close to the Marquis of Linyi, there are some things...you understand! I don't know if Zhou Zhonggong is willing to help me?"

"Yes, of course Miscellaneous is willing..."

"Fresh!" Cao Peng smiled and said softly: "Let's talk while walking, I have a lot of questions, and I need to ask Zhou Zhonggong for advice."
