Cao Thief

Chapter 575 The Villain Is Unpredictable (22) Asking for Monthly Ticket Support
Zhou Buyi, a character of unknown origin.

He is only 14 years old, but he is talented and can speak eloquently.

Cao Peng didn't have the slightest impression of such a person.At least, in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this person did not appear on the stage.

He is a child prodigy from Jingzhou, who traveled suddenly and settled in Xudu.

He didn't hide it at all. From the very beginning, he showed obvious hostility towards Cao Peng.

It is said that Zhou Busu is a descendant of the family, and his uncle Liu Xian is well-known in Jingxiang.But the problem is, according to the rules of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the single-character name is expensive, and the double-character name is cheap.Zhou Buyi is not his character, his character is straight.In other words, Zhou Busu is his real name.

A son of a family with a humble name, a young man with a very different background.

Cao Peng couldn't figure it out, who is Zhou Buyi?
After seeing off Lu Hao and Pu Yangyi, Cao Peng sat alone in the study and meditated.The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhou Buyi's background was suspicious.

But his life experience was so clear, without any doubts.

Gently rubbing his cheeks, Cao Peng got up, only to realize that the sky had already darkened at some point.

After lighting the oil lamp, he stepped out of the study, stood on the porch, watched the autumn chrysanthemums blooming in the courtyard, sucked his lips, turned and left along the promenade.As early as the first time he heard about Zhou Buyi, he began to pay attention to him.According to Huang Yueying, she does know Liu Xian's name, but she is not particularly clear about Zhou Buyi.It's no wonder that when Huang Yueying left Jiangxia, Zhou Buyi was probably only five or six years old, so she naturally couldn't have too many impressions.Therefore, there is not much help that can be given to Cao Peng.

Cao Peng sent someone to Yingyin to ask Huang Chengyan for advice.

At the same time, people asked Xu Shu, Pang Tong and others to get some information from them...

From Huang Chengyan, Cao Peng once again confirmed the existence of Zhou Buyi.Huang Chengyan left Jingzhou in the fifth year of Jian'an. At that time, Zhou Buyi was eight years old. He was famous for his intelligence and was well-known in Lingling.However, because Jiangxia and Lingling were far apart, and Zhou Buyi was still young at the time, although he was well-known, Huang Chengyan was not familiar with him.After all, there was a big gap between the two. With Huang Chengyan's identity and status at that time, how could he pay special attention to an eight-year-old child?Even, that child is an extremely intelligent person.

However, Huang Chengyan said that he will try to find out for him.

But that is not something that can be found out at once.After all, Huang Zu is dead, and Huang Xun is far away...Jiangxia Huang's family is not as good as before, and it is not easy to inquire about news.At the same time, Duke Pang De went deep into the hidden world of Lumen Mountain in the seventh year of Jian'an, and he rarely showed up.If Duke Pound can be found, it may be clearer.Unfortunately, no one knows where he is hiding.

Pang Tong and Xu Shu also sent people to reply, knowing the existence of such a Lingling prodigy.

But it was not too different from Huang Chengyan's situation, and they were not very clear about Zhou Busu's situation...

Instead, Meng Jian mentioned a situation that caught Cao Peng's attention: Zhou Buyi once went to Shuijing Villa with Liu Xian to visit Sima Hui.

At that time, Sima Hui admired Zhou Buyi very much, and praised him as a child prodigy.

That happened in the sixth year of Jian'an, and Meng Jian was still studying at Shuijing Villa, so he had two not-so-close contacts with Zhou Buyi.According to Meng Jian, Zhou Buyi was eleven years old, but he behaved arrogantly and spoke unrulyly, which made people feel very uncomfortable.However, he and Zhuge Liang were able to talk together, and they seemed to restrain themselves.At that time, Cui Jun was very dissatisfied with Zhou Buyi. He once talked about Zhou Buyi in a small chat.Zhuge Liang also argued a few words for Zhou Buyi, but then nothing happened...

Zhuge Liang, Zhou Buyi, Liu Xian, Cao Chong!
For these names, Cao Peng has a feeling that he can't explain clearly.

Zhuge Liang is now assisting Liu Bei, and through his relationship, Liu Bei is in charge of Xinye Anzhong, sitting in Fancheng, and gaining a firm foothold in Jingzhou.

However, for some reason, Liu Bei and Liu Qi are very close.

And Zhuge Liang is the son-in-law of the Cai family, which makes the relationship between the two parties complicated.

Liu Xian, Liu Biao's other driver, seems to be inclined towards Cao Cao.But Zhou Buyi, a young man with no official or job, became friends with Cao Chong.

Cao Peng discovered a problem among these seemingly unconnected people.

According to Cao Zhang's return, Cao Chong has been studying at home and has little contact with outsiders.But somehow, he and Zhou Buyi became friends.

How did Zhou Buyi become friends with Cao Chong?
This is a question!
Although Cao Cao admired Zhou Buyi and wanted to betroth his eldest daughter Cao Xian to Zhou Buyi, he was unexpectedly rejected by Zhou Buyi...

With Cao Cao's temper, he would definitely not introduce his family and Zhou Buyi.

This is not stingy, but Cao Cao wanted to recruit Zhou Buyi, but was rejected by Zhou Buyi?
why!
Zhou Buyi's thoughts are not necessarily towards Cao Cao; in other words, Zhou Buyi has some resistance to Cao Cao.So, why did he contradict Cao Cao?

Some things just can't be complicated.

Otherwise, the more you think about it, the more complicated it becomes.

Cao Peng came to the bedroom unknowingly, and saw Huang Yueying reading a book in the room.

He walked lightly, came to Huang Yueying's back, stretched out his arms to hug Huang Yueying.Huang Yueying was startled at first, but soon after smelling the familiar body odor, she stopped struggling.

"Ah Fu, what are you doing, surprised?"

"looking at what?"

"You wrote 36 counts."

Huang Yueying put down the book, turned her head and smiled softly, "I was just reading the article about defeating war tactics, and I was about to read the beauty trick, but you came... Husband, the beauty trick came from the chapter in "The Thirteen Chapters of Sun Wu" , and derived? Goujian used Xishi to please Fucha, and used the imperial bandits to protect him."

To be precise, the beauty trick comes from an article in "Six Secret Teachings".

The content of the original text is: Raise his rebellious officials to confuse them, and enter the United States to confuse them.

It means: sugar-coated shells must be used against enemies that are difficult to conquer with military operations.Do what you like, and defeat the opponent in terms of ideology and will.This beauty trick doesn't just include using beauty to confuse, the key is to do what one likes and break the other's will.

Generally speaking, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an evolution of "The Thirteen Chapters of Sun Wu".

However, Cao Peng's heart suddenly trembled for no reason.

"Yueying, what did you just say?"

"I mean, this beauty trick was derived from the "Thirteen Chapters of Sun Wu"... Husband, what's wrong with you? Is it wrong to say that I am a concubine?"

Huang Yueying is a woman with a wide range of interests, but to be honest, she doesn't know much about the art of war.

It's just that when I was free and bored, I had read several Art of War, so I was not very confident in my words.But in Cao Peng's ears, there seemed to be a thunderclap.There seemed to be a flash of light in his drowsy brain, making him suddenly clear.

Use room?

He could not help but narrow his eyes.

Could it be that this week is undoubtedly a dead time?
This does not seem to be impossible, the key is that Zhou Buyi is somewhere dead.

Liu Biao's?
not quite like...

Liu Xian was in favor of surrendering to Cao Cao.

But although Zhou Buyi is Liu Xian's nephew, he may not agree with Liu Xian's proposition.If he and Liu Xian were not in the same faction, then where would he belong?
Meng Jian seems to have said that Zhou Buyi seems to be somewhat close to Zhuge Liang.

So, could Zhou Busu be Liu Bei's man?As soon as this idea came up, the more Cao Peng thought about it, the more likely it was...

If this is the case, then the encounter between Zhou Buyi and Cao Chong had a very obvious conspiracy atmosphere.

"Husband, husband?"

"what?"

Cao Peng woke up suddenly, but saw Huang Yueying's worried face.

He quickly smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just thought of something just now, so I was a little lost in thought.

By the way, Yueying, have you finished the workshop regulations that I asked you to write for me?I'll take a look and bring it to my husband tomorrow. "

"Uh, it's the assembly line you mentioned, right?"

Huang Yueying smiled and nodded, she had already written it.

She stood up, took out a thin booklet from the small cabinet at the top of the kang, and handed it to Cao Peng.

After Cao Peng took it, he quickly turned two pages, and then put it in his arms.

"Yueying, go to bed first, I have some things to think about tonight, so don't wait for me any longer."

"it is good!"

Huang Yueying agreed and sent Cao Peng out of the room.

"By the way, remember to send someone to Xudu tomorrow and ask Mr. Xiao to come, don't forget."

"You mean, Xiao Kun from Huichun Hall?"

"Exactly."

Cao Peng agreed and said he would keep it in his heart.

Guo Huan's due date is coming soon, and Zhen Mi's due date is only a few months away.

Although Xingyang has everything, if necessary, Cao Peng can find someone to talk to Wang Zhi and it can be done.But in the heart, whether it is Cao Peng or his family members, they seem to trust the non-famous gynecologist in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Mr. Xiao Kunxiao from Huichuntang in Xudu.After all, Xiao Kun had delivered Cao Wan and Cao Yang, including Deng Ai...Wen Po and the like, you can find them locally.But this doctor, I still ask my acquaintances to be more at ease.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++
After Cao Peng returned to the study, he took out the rules of the assembly line and put it on the desk.

This is also a set of regulations that he designed after observing the Heyi Workshop for a period of time, based on the current situation of the Heyi Workshop, combined with the assembly line operations of later generations.That is to say, each process is separated and a special person is responsible.The advantage of this is that it can improve efficiency and at the same time keep some secrets.In particular, after several months, Cao Peng has restored another knife-making technique, so he must be more careful.

However, he was not in a hurry to read the charter, but pushed open the window, stood by the window, and looked outside.

I was interrupted by Huang Yueying just now, and I couldn't connect to my train of thought.After calming down and thinking for a moment, Cao Peng continued the guessing just now.

According to Cao Zhang, Cao Chong met Zhou Buyi by chance.

The two hit it off immediately, got acquainted quickly, and became friends...

To be honest, it has been almost three years, and Cao Peng is not very clear about Cao Chong's changes.I only know that he first studied in the school, and later got Cao Cao's permission to study at home.What book is he reading?What have you learned?Cao Peng didn't understand at all.

However, from the words Deng Ai revealed, Cao Peng could perceive that Cao Chong seemed to be deviating from his earlier route of naturalization for him.

Especially Cao Chong now seems to have a sense of superiority.

And it was this sense of superiority that made him start to have some other ideas.For example, high and low, such as high and low... The most terrifying thing is that Cao Chong seems to be attributing this kind of high and low to heaven.In other words, it is destiny!God let you be born in a wealthy family, and you are doomed to be superior in your life; and if you were born in a commoner family, it is also doomed by God.

Cao Peng didn't know where Cao Chong's idea came from.

But from Cao Peng's point of view, his thoughts are more like those so-called "second generations" he met in his previous life.

A spoiled child!

He is smart, he can infer other things from one instance.

Cao Peng valued Cao Chong before because of his plasticity; but now it seems that it is this plasticity that may make him fall short.

You know, Cao Chong was only seven years old when he left the teacher.

Then the people he contacts and the books he reads will have a profound impact on him.

God sense!

According to Cao Chong's current situation, it is undoubtedly influenced by the theory of induction between heaven and man.This also made Cao Chong, who must attach great importance to his background and his dignity.And whether Zhou Bu doubt really agrees with Cao Chong's point of view will not be said, but he at least caters to Cao Chong's point of view.Perhaps it was for this reason that Zhou Buyi quickly gained Cao Chong's trust.However, how did he know Cao Chong's preferences?
In other words, there must be someone in Xudu who knows Cao Chong very well and has even observed him for a long time.

If not, how could Zhou Buyi grasp Cao Chong's preferences so accurately?Judging from Zhou Buyi's various actions and performances since he entered Xudu, it seems that he has been deliberately emphasizing the correctness of Cao Chong's concept.For this reason, he argued with Xun Yue, argued with Kong Rong, and even pointed the finger at Hu Zhao.Because Hu Zhao is undoubtedly a representative figure of "teaching without discrimination", he accepts disciples from disciples, regardless of their age.As long as he is interested in studying, Hu Zhao will accept it.This happens to be in conflict with the dignity of the destiny.

Who?
Who is observing Cao Chong?
In other words, who is secretly guiding Cao Chong?
Cao Peng feels that there seems to be a black hand in the dark, who is manipulating all the things that happened...

Zhuge Liang?
It's possible...but he doesn't seem to have the chance to get in touch with Cao Chong, and maybe he doesn't even know Cao Chong at all.So, who could it be?
Mrs. Huan must be responsible for Cao Chong's changes today.

Mrs. Huan was originally from an aristocratic family. Although she has declined, she is a child of an aristocratic family after all.

Prior to this, Cao Pi had a great advantage.No matter in terms of age or ability, Mrs. Huan put tremendous pressure on her.So, in desperation, Mrs. Huan borrowed the help of Cao Peng, hoping that Cao Peng would support Cao Chong and compete with Cao Pi.

But Cao Pi's death made Mrs. Huan relax.

The pride of the daughter of that family...

Wrong, wrong, now it is not to hold Mrs. Huan responsible, but to find the black hand.

Cao Peng gently patted his forehead, and suddenly, a familiar face flashed in his mind...could it be him?If this matter was planned by him as a whole, it seems reasonable.Damn, how could I forget him?
