Cao Thief

Chapter 459 Hexi Second Bomb ([-])
"Who!"

Cao Peng stood up abruptly.

As soon as the words were finished, the curtain was raised and a man walked in from the outside.Judging by his age, he was about fifty years old, with horrific scars all over his face, which made people shudder.A black cape was wrapped around his head, he was wearing a black robe, and his eyes were dark.

He walked in and saw Cao Peng smiling slightly, the scar on his face wriggling, making people afraid to look at him.

"Sir, why are you here?"

Cao Peng was also taken aback when he saw who was coming.

The person who came was none other than Li Ru, whose alias was Yuan Xuanshuo, Dong Zhuo's number one conspirator in the past, who was known as the poisonous man of Liangzhou.This poisonous man is not Jia Xu's poison.Perhaps Li Ru is not as good as Jia Xu in the overall situation, but Li Ru is not necessarily inferior to Jia Xu in details.If it weren't for Li Ru, Dong Zhuo wouldn't have been able to rise up in Liangzhou back then, and take the emperor to command the princes.

Four years ago, Cao Peng was ordered to investigate the murder of Zhu Zan and forced Li Ru to work for him.

The two had made a ten-year agreement, and Li Ru hid in the Cao Mansion after that, hiding his name incognito, and few people knew about it.Cao Peng never expected that Li Ru would come to Hexi.So much so that when he saw Li Ru, he couldn't help being surprised.

Guo Huan and Bu Luan, leading the two snow mastiffs, quietly exited the small tent.

Li Ru smiled wryly and said, "If I don't come, I'm afraid the son will be killed."

"what?"

Li Ru took off his boots, stepped onto the couch, and sat on the mat.

Cao Peng poured a bowl of water for him, and asked nervously, "What did you mean by what you said just now?"

"I suspect that I have been spotted."

"what?"

"I mean... someone seems to have guessed my identity."

"Who?"

Cao Peng shuddered Lingling, and hurriedly asked.

Li Ru smiled wryly, "Apart from that Jia Wenhe, who else is there? That guy used to work under my account and is no stranger to me. A few months ago, Jia Wenhe came to the door suddenly, saying that he had heard that I was proficient in Buddhism. , so come to discuss with me. When did that guy start to believe in Buddha? At that time, the old lady didn't know the situation, so she brought him here.

Although he didn't say anything, I have a feeling that he may have guessed my origin...

I realized that the situation was not good, and it happened that Hao Zhao was coming to Hexi, so I volunteered to come here with Hao Zhao for refuge. "

After hearing this, Cao Peng broke out in a cold sweat.

How did Jia Xu see Li Ru's flaws?
His brows were twisted into a ball, and in his heart, he was also quite frightened.

"That……"

"Don't worry, my lord, Jia Wenhe is probably only suspicious, but has no real evidence.

In addition, Cao Mengde now attaches great importance to the son's family, so it is estimated that even if Jia Wenhe doubts it, he will not stand up and expose it.But if I continue to stay in Xudu, I will definitely be in danger.After much deliberation, it is safer to be in Hexi. "

"Didn't that tell Jia Xu that you..."

Cao Peng frowned, feeling a little guilty.

Jia Xu is just skeptical now, but once you escaped from Xudu, wouldn't it confirm his guess.

Li Ru, laugh!
"Youxue doesn't have to worry, even if it's confirmed, so what?

Jia Xu will definitely not provoke you easily.He has always been very cautious and knows how to protect himself.The grand master has been dead for many years, even if Cao Mengde knew my identity, he might not really kill me... On the contrary, if he Jia Wenhe did this, he might offend many people.He will never do it at the expense of others.

I am now, dog ears of the bereaved family!I am getting old.

As long as I leave Xudu, no one will pursue this matter.Jia Wenhe also understood, how could he offend the young master again? "

Cao Peng scratched his head, thinking about it is also the same reason.

It is indeed troublesome for Li Ru to stay in Xudu...

He couldn't find a proper shelter before, so he could only stay in Xudu temporarily.

Now, he will establish a foothold in Hexi, and let Li Ru come to assist him, which suits his mind and saves a lot of trouble.

"It's my friend's good fortune that you can come, sir."

"Oh?" Li Ru said in a deep voice, "Could it be that the young master is in trouble?"

"To be honest, sir, it is indeed a little troublesome."

Since he coerced Li Ru back then, he naturally hoped that Li Ru could work for him.In other words, it can solve his problems and give him advice.

But before that, Li Ru had no chance to play.

Except for analyzing Lao Cao's thoughts several times, and Li Ru's words were right, there was almost nothing outstanding.Cao Peng can solve many things by himself.And at that time, there were many talents around him who could plan for him.

But now, Cao Peng is having a headache for those who are not available.

The arrival of Li Ru can solve some problems for him...

The two sat down in the small tent, and Cao Peng told him about his current problems and the things he had encountered before.

Li Ru looked calm.

After listening to Cao Peng finished speaking, he took a sip of water and closed his eyes.

As for Cao Peng, he didn't bother Li Ru, but instead lay down on his side, burying his body in the soft and warm white wolf fur cushion.From taking over the affairs of Hexi to breaking ground in Hongshui County, Cao Peng has been under immense pressure.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Cao Peng always seems to have a well-thought-out plan and everything under control.

But only he himself knew that he had been suffering for the past month.

For a criminal policeman, the situation Cao Peng is facing now is far more complicated than those cases he handled in his previous life.Even when he was in Haixi, there was at least one Deng Ji above him who sheltered him from the wind and rain, creating an extremely relaxed environment for him.Some people say that Haixi's success today is due to the contributions of Cao Peng and Deng Ji.

Cao Peng seven, Deng Ji three.

At least Cao Peng also had this idea before coming to Hexi.

But it wasn't until he really wanted to be alone that he realized how wrong his previous thinking was.

If Deng Ji hadn't shielded him from the cold wind and rain, all his ideas might not have come true.In other words, if it wasn't for Deng Ji, it would be impossible for another person to support him like that.Even if there is a great ability, there is nowhere to display it.If Cao Peng were to evaluate Haixi's contribution now, he and Deng Ji should be on June [-]th.

Deng Jiliu, he only has four points of credit.

His whimsical ideas and his propositions are good, but they need someone to implement them.

It is a good thing to have a whimsical idea, but when it comes to executing it, Deng Ji took most of the pressure for him.

It is precisely because of this that there is today's Haixi.

How could it be possible for Haixi to have the current scale...

Before Li Ru arrived, Cao Peng had been supporting himself alone.It doesn't matter if Pang Tong is preparing for war in the Northwest Pastoral Plains, or Jia Kui is building large-scale construction projects in Lianbao.Cao Peng must do his best to create an environment for them.Just like what Deng Ji did for him back then.And these things are often not very eye-catching, and it seems that they are doing nothing...

Li Ru is here!

Cao Peng finally has someone to confide in.

Although Pang Tong is talented, he is definitely not a good conversation partner compared to Li Ru.

After Cao Peng finished speaking, he crawled on the white wolf's skin, feeling unprecedentedly relaxed, and fell asleep unknowingly!
Outside the small tent, there were noises from time to time.

Guo Huan's crisp voice seemed so pleasant.

Cao Peng was in a daze and didn't know how long he had slept, but suddenly his heart shook and he woke up suddenly.

Li Ru was drinking water leisurely.

It looked as if what he drank was not water, but some fine nectar, which was delicious.Cao Peng sat up in a hurry and found that the candles were already lit in the small tent.Two large waxes make the tent very transparent...

it's getting dark!

Seeing Cao Peng wake up, Li Ru smiled slightly.

"My lord, did you sleep well?"

There was a wave of heat in the white wolf's fur, so that when Cao Peng woke up, he didn't feel the slightest chill.He rubbed his eyes, with embarrassment on his face, scratched his head, and said softly, "Mister, why don't you call me? Peng is being rude!"

"Ha, what kind of gift?"

Li Ru said with a smile: "Back then when the Bianzhang Rebellion happened, I was the grand master's planner at the beginning, just like the young master now.

I still remember that after I succeeded in planning for the grand master, I fell asleep at the celebration banquet, and fell asleep until noon the next day... Hehe, I thought about your son's plan carefully just now, and there are not many flaws.But the biggest problem, maybe the young master has overlooked it!That is, although the Hongze people are Han people, they have lived in Hexi for a hundred years, and they are already different from the Han people in the Central Plains.To some extent, those Hongze people are no different from Qianghu. "

"Oh?"

Cao Peng lifted his spirits, "Please give advice, sir."

"Young Master's luck is good, he saved Tan Zhe first, at least in the beginning, he won't be isolated and helpless.

If the young master had chosen Lian County for governance at that time, it might have aroused Tan Zhe's vigilance.It is precisely because the young master wants to set up another government office and the scale of Lian County is reduced, so Tan Zhe is willing to deal with the young master.So, this is off to a very good start.

But the problem is, the young master used the wrong method to gain a foothold in Hongze. "

"Oh?"

"Those Hongze people have the habit of Qianghu.

What is the habit of Qianghu?To put it bluntly, it is bullying.The young master wants to form an alliance with Hongze, and the direction is not wrong.Only at the beginning, an important link was missing, that is Liwei!The son failed to show enough strength to be able to gain a foothold in Hongze's strength.So much so that Hongze people still feel that the young master is vulnerable.

They should be taught a lesson.

Even if you take the initiative to provoke conflicts, you must show the majesty of the court. "

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help but frown, "Then what should I do if I anger the people of Hongze?"

Li Ru laughed loudly, "Master, do you think that these survivors, and the bloody spirit of the Han army sweeping Mobei back then?"

"this?"

"Young master, sometimes, you can't think too much.

You must not be soft-hearted towards Hongze people, you must show your toughness.Only in this way, Hongze people will abide by the covenant honestly... To be honest, the covenant between Dou Lan and the son is worthless in the eyes of a certain person... The son feels that his strength is not strong enough.But from Confucianism's point of view, it is enough to teach Hongze people a little lesson. "

"But if it intensifies, wouldn't it be troublesome?"

After hearing this, Li Ru sneered again and again.

"But the question is, do they dare?"
