Cao Thief

Chapter 495
In the small tent, the candlelight was flickering, flickering and flickering.

Guo Huanbuluan and Cai Wenji both rushed over, and the woman also got dressed, and stood timidly aside, with her head bowed.

She is tall, about 170 centimeters, quite plump.

Judging from the white and tender little hands, he is not a servant, but seems to be born as a lady.

Cao Peng rubbed his temples and sat there without saying a word.In the end, he decided that animals were inferior, and held back that desire.

"Miss Zhen, why are you here?"

"I don't even know... I don't even know where this is. My husband, Yuan Xi, the governor of Youzhou, has been living in Yecheng. Some time ago, my mother was unwell, so I went home Take care. Later, my mother recovered, and I was about to return to Yecheng... Unexpectedly, on the way, I was hijacked by a group of people, and all the guards died in battle. I was drugged and fell into a coma all the way. After dinner today, my body I fell asleep somehow, and when I woke up..."

"But a poor man."

Cai Yan roughly understood the mystery, and turned to look at Cao Peng.

"Look at me, I don't even know who she is. This matter is Su Shuang's own decision and has nothing to do with me."

How could Cao Peng not understand the meaning in Cai Yan's eyes, and pushed back without saying a word.

However, halfway through his words, he suddenly froze...

"You just said that your husband is Yuan Xi?"

"Exactly."

"Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi?"

"Yes!"

Cao Peng suddenly remembered the identity of the woman in front of him.

Zhen Mi, Cao Peng didn't have any associations when she announced her family name just now.But when she said she was Yuan Xi's wife, Cao Peng was a little confused... Isn't Yuan Xi's wife Luoshen?The Luoshen Fu, which is famous for thousands of years in later generations, is said to have been made by Cao Zhi based on his sister-in-law Zhen.And the Zhen family, wasn't Yuan Xi's wife before?

According to the Romance, after Cao Cao captured Yecheng, Cao Pi went to Yuan Shao's home and saw Yuan Shao's wife, Mrs. Liu, sitting in the main hall.

A woman hides behind Mrs. Liu. She is so beautiful that Cao Pi's heart is moved.

So Cao Pi asked the woman's name, and after learning that she was Yuan Xi's wife, he took it into the room without saying a word.

Zhen Shi, Zhen Mi...

Cao Peng couldn't help crying in his heart: This Su Shuang is really daring!
But thinking about it, it seems reasonable.Yuan Shang oppressed Su Shuang very heavily, and his friend Zhang Shiping was killed, so Su Shuang's hatred for Yuan was bound to be considerable.Since he decided to rebel, it is normal for him to give Yuan Shang some eye drops.Didn't Zhen Mi say it too?She was attacked on the way back to Yecheng, it must be Su Shuang.

Su Shuang brought a lot of people, including Zhu Dao, a top-notch swordsman to help out.

As a wealthy businessman in Zhongshan, Su Shuang would inevitably recruit many knight-errants as his assistants, otherwise he would be watched by others.The reason why Zhang Shiping dared to rebel was because he had many disciples.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the door-to-door system still existed.Even in Xudu, people like Cao Hong and Cao Ren had many followers.

Cao Peng stood up abruptly, staring at Zhen Mi with wide-eyed tiger eyes.

Zhen Mi was so frightened that she took several steps back, her body trembling uncontrollably...

"Husband..."

Cao Peng finally woke up when he heard Guo Huan's call.

At the same time, I smiled bitterly in my heart for a while: Unexpectedly, I took away Zhuge Liang's wife, and now I took Cao Pi's wife away!

"Madam Zhen, do you know where this is?"

"I don't know about myself."

"This is Hexi, under the rule of Duke Cao."

"what?"

"Your husband and I are hostile. So, no matter how you came here, you need to understand one thing, I can't send you back. Of course, if you want to go back, I won't stop you... But here It is thousands of miles away from Youzhou, and there are frequent wars. There will be many dangers along the way. Whether you can go back is uncertain.

I might as well make my words clearer.

The Yuan family must be defeated!

Even if you go back, you will be nothing more than a prisoner. I don't know what your fate will be in the future.

If you want, you can stay... I think you are also well educated, you must have heard of Master Cai.It just so happens that Master Cai is helping me memorize the classics of the sages. You can stay with Master Cai and help organize the articles... When the situation stabilizes, I can send someone to take you home.It's just the current situation, but I can't help you. "

There are two ways, stay in Hexi, or walk back by yourself.

Not to mention how dangerous it would be to pass through the war-torn zone in the distance of thousands of miles; even if you go back, you can only be a prisoner.Zhen Mi knew very well the consequences of being a prisoner.She couldn't help feeling a burst of fear, and raised her head, with tears in her eyes, revealing all kinds of tenderness.She wanted to go back, but was scared by Cao Peng again!
"Husband, why don't you help her?"

Seeing that Zhen Mi was pitiful, Bu Luan couldn't help but stepped forward to ask.

Cao Peng was furious when he heard this, "Nonsense, Hexi is waiting for prosperity, how can I have the manpower and energy to escort her back to Hebei?

Besides, so what if you return to Hebei?

The accusation of robbery has been placed on my head, even if I have a thousand mouths, I still can't explain it clearly... This damn Su Shuang and Zhu Dao, come here whenever they come, and they give me such a big trouble.In short, let Mrs. Zhen make her own choice. "

Zhen Mi sobbed...

"Forget it, it's not in a hurry anyway.

Youxue, you said just now that Mrs. Zhen can help me transcribe the classics, which is the way.Ma'am, why don't you go with me first and stay where I am.If when you want to understand, when to decide.If you really want to go back, I think Youxue is right.When the situation stabilizes, I will send you back to Zhongshan, and then you can decide on your own..."

Thinking about it, it seems that this is the only way at present.

It is absolutely impossible for Cao Peng to send her back to Yecheng...

He stayed, but unconsciously remembered the naked scene of Cao Peng just now.Zhen Mi panicked, and finally decided to move in with Cai Yan.After all, Cai Yan is a woman and quite famous, so staying with her is safer after all.As for where is Hexi County?Zhen Mi really didn't know.After all, so far, Hexi County has not really called out.Since I can't go, let's stay here for the time being and make a decision later.

Cai Yan, lead Zhen Mi away!

Cao Peng sat down and patted his forehead.

"Husband, it's better to rest earlier."

Cao Peng shook his head and stood up, "You guys rest first, I'll go to Mr. Li to discuss things."

"Why, is there something wrong?"

"I can't say it's a disaster, but I always feel that if Mrs. Zhen was robbed to Hexi, something might happen."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
The night is deep!
The north wind crossed the Helan Mountains and passed over the pastures in the west of Hexi.

Tonight's moon, only a crescent moon is left, hanging high in the night, revealing a bit of loneliness and coldness.

Cao Peng left the small tent and went to Li Ru's residence.

When this happened, the first thing he thought of was to ask Li Ru for advice.

Li Ru hadn't rested yet, and the lights in the small tent were brightly lit.He was sitting by the fire, reading a book under the lamp while warming the fire.

When Cao Peng walked in, Li Ru happened to hold a glass of wine.

"My lord, why are you visiting late at night?"

Without further ado, Cao Peng stepped forward to take the glass of wine from Li Ru, and drank it down in one gulp.He sat down on the chair next to him, showing a bitter look.

"what happened?"

"Su Shuang brought me a present."

"so what?"

"Do you know, sir, what is the gift he brought?"

Li Ru was stunned for a moment, put down the book in his hand, then stared at Cao Peng for a while.

"Could it be that it's trouble?"

"It's a big trouble... This guy actually hijacked Yuan Xi's wife and sent her naked to my account."

"Yuan Xi's wife?"

Li Ru thought for a while, "Could it be the daughter of Shangcai Ling Zhenyi in Wuji County, Zhongshan Country?"

"Hey, sir, you know this girl too?"

Li Ru laughed loudly, "It is said that the Anxian five daughters are all beautiful and charming. This time, the female Zhen Mi is the most beautiful. The young master is very lucky that someone sent her here... Hehe, I don’t know why Have a taste?"

This guy didn't seem surprised by this matter, which somewhat surprised Cao Peng.

But thinking about it, it seems normal.

Although there was no such strict defense against men and women in the Eastern Han Dynasty, women's status was not high, and they were often given away as goods.Sending off wives and concubines happened frequently, and it didn't seem to be a problem.Li Ru has seen this kind of thing a lot!Back then, if it wasn't for his tigress wife, she would have done some of these things.

In this era, sending concubines to others can also be called elegant.

"Sir, I don't think so...that's Yuan Xi's wife."

Li Ruwen sneered, "So what about Yuan Xi? It's just a slap in the face! If it weren't for Yuan Benchu, he would be nothing. If you ask me, this can't be considered a trouble, it is a beautiful thing at all. The young master has a new beauty, Why don't you taste it carefully, but come to my side to complain? I'm afraid even Cao Mengde would be envious of your troubles."

Cao Peng blushed...

To be honest, he was really not that open.

Two wives and two concubines in the family are enough, and he still can't do the things of this wife.

Although Cao Peng loves beauty, but after all, he travels through the crowd, and sometimes his inner reserve prevents him from doing so open things.But when Li Ru said this, Cao Peng still felt a little pity: I was in a hurry just now, but I couldn't see clearly, so Zhen Mi is like Luoshen?
"However, if there are troubles, there will definitely be."

After Li Ru teased a few words, the conversation suddenly changed, showing a solemn expression.

"I heard that Yuan Xi loves Zhen's daughter. Now that this girl has been taken away, he may not be willing to let it go."

Cao Peng said: "What I am worried about is also here."

"My lord, there is no need to worry. It should be Mengde who is worried."

"Oh?"

"Zhen's daughter was robbed in Jizhou, maybe she will be framed and blamed on Meng De. At that time, Yuan Xi is very likely to change her previous attitude and resist with Yuan Shang. Meng De wants to attack Yecheng, I'm afraid it will take some time. hands and feet."

"Will Yuan Xi join the battle?"

"This son is weak and cowardly, but if he is really desperate, it will not be easy for Meng De to destroy Hebei.

However, you don't need to worry, with Meng De's ability, if you can't even deal with the mere second son Yuan Shao, then don't talk about big things.It is certain that some tricks will be spent, but the second son of the Yuan family is by no means his opponent.On your side, son, you have to be careful.
