Zhou Buyi returned home in a daze, like a deflated ball.

Cao Peng can see the clues, can Cao Cao also see the clues?When he thought that everything he had done was nothing more than a clown's behavior in the eyes of others, Zhou Buyi couldn't help but shudder, and his hairs stood on his head.Should he continue to stay in Xudu?

Zhou Buyi's background was not as noble as he said.

The mother is Liu Xian's younger sister, who came from a prominent family.

But in fact, Zhou Buyi's mother was just an inconspicuous offshoot concubine in the Liu clan.The situation is somewhat similar to that of Deng Ji.The Tang family in Jiyang, where Deng Ji belongs, was descended from Deng Yu, one of the 28 generals in Yuntai.But following the gradual decline of the Deng family, the Deng family's clan continued to develop, forming today's Zhiyang Deng Village.Deng Ji is a descendant of the Deng family.

Generally speaking, being a concubine is already inferior to others, let alone a side branch.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhou Buyi's mother later married a local poor family and gave birth to Zhou Buyi.

This is also why Zhou Buyi's name is a double word, not a single word.

He has been very strong since he was a child, showing intelligence that is different from his peers, and gradually gained some fame, and won the reputation of a "child prodigy" in the local area.

But this does not mean that Zhou Buyi will be recognized by the matrilineal clan.

Not only is he not recognized, but he also has to work as hard as he can to support himself.As he grew older, Zhou Buyi was valued by Liu Xian because of his intelligence, so he asked him to come to his side as a book boy.However, it is just a book boy.

By chance, Zhou Buyi followed Liu Xian to visit Shuijing Villa and was praised by Sima Hui.

Later, Zhuge Liang, who was Sima Hui's disciple at that time, was also very friendly to Zhou Buyi and praised him full of praise, which made Liu Xian start to pay attention to Zhou Buyi and formally recognized him as his nephew.When Liu Bei entered Jingzhou, Liu Xian visited as usual.Unexpectedly, Liu Bei was very happy when he saw Zhou Buyi.He even expressed his willingness to introduce famous teachers to Zhou Buyi, and also bear all kinds of expenses needed for Zhou Buyi's education.At that time, Liu Bei introduced Liu Ba, a famous scholar in Jingzhou, to Zhou Buyi, hoping that Liu Ba could teach Zhou Buyi so that he could make some achievements.

Liu Ba, a native of Lingling, was of the same clan as Liu Xian.

He is serious, born of the Liu family's concubine in Lingling, and his status is still higher than that of Liu Xian.

His grandfather, Liu Yao, was the prefect of Cangwu; his father, Liu Xiang, was the prefect of Jiangxia and the general of the gangsters.When Liu Biao was stationed in Jingzhou, the Liu family in Lingling did not have a blind date with him.Liu Xiang, who was the prefect of Jiangxia at that time, even had conflicts with Liu Biao several times, which made Liu Biao hate him very much, and even gave birth to murderous intentions.He held Liu Ba back and planned to kill Liu Ba several times, but in the end Liu Ba cleverly avoided him.

Later, the Jingxiang family turned from confrontation to support Liu Biao.

Due to health reasons, Liu Xiang also stepped down from the post of Jiangxia prefect and was replaced by Liu Biao's confidant Huang Zu, which was considered to ease the relationship.

During Liu Ba's time, he kept the master book for the householder Cao.

Liu Biao recruited several times, and even expressed his willingness to recommend him as a talented person, but Liu Ba has always been wary of Liu Biao and has always refused to take office.

Speaking of which, Zhou Buyi was also Liu Ba's nephew.

It is also a matter of course for him to worship Liu Ba as his teacher.I don't want Liu Ba to be disgusted not only with Liu Biao, but also with Liu Bei.Liu Bei ran to introduce him, but he couldn't refuse in person, but finally he thought of a way to politely reject the request... For this reason, Zhou Buyi was very sad.He was grateful to Liu Bei, but he couldn't hate Liu Ba.He hated his background as a commoner, and felt extremely inferior. At the same time, in his inferiority complex, he developed a very strange sense of self-esteem.So, he started to get flamboyant.

At the end of the ninth year of Jian'an, Zhou Buyi suddenly received a letter.

The letter was written by Liu Bei, whom he respects the most, and wanted to entrust him to do something.

Liu Bei told him that the Han Dynasty is now in decline, and the government is in ruins, and it is in need of the help of insightful people.Liu Xian is going to Xudu, hoping that Zhou Buyi will go with him.After arriving in Xudu, try to show your reputation and make friends with Cao's children, so that you can get Cao Cao's attention.

At the same time, Liu Bei also told Zhou Buyi that he was willing to help him improve the status of his mother's family.

After arriving in Xudu, someone will contact him. At that time, he only needs to obey that person's instructions and perform on his own... In the future, when the Han Dynasty is revived, he will be a hero.Not to mention being famous, you can become a real scholar and be respected by people all over the world.

It can be said that Zhou Busu came to Xudu full of ideals.

It did go well at first.

Under the special arrangement of some people, Zhou Buyu got acquainted with Cao Chong.

At that time, Zhou Buyi was 13 years old, while Cao Chong was only eight years old.Zhou Buyi's experience and knowledge are far beyond what Cao Chong can match, so he won Cao Chong's trust easily, and quickly gained a firm foothold in Xudu.However, in the eyes of those real masters, his performance that he thought was flawless was full of flaws.Cao Peng could see that Xudu... How many people still know?

Zhou Buyi, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

The more frightened he was, the more flustered he was...

A 15-year-old child has not experienced too many storms after all.

The composure and competence he had pretended before also disappeared at this moment.

what should I do?
Do you want to stay in Xudu, or leave?

He was lying on the couch with a confused look on his face.

By the way, didn't Duke Xuande say that if there is any danger, you can tell the mysterious person and ask him to help or give advice?
In the two years since he came to Xudu, he has never seen that mysterious person.

But he could guess that this person must have an extraordinary status.

By the way, find a way to contact him...

Zhou Buyi turned over and sat up, a handkerchief fell from his arms.He was about to walk out, but he hesitated for a moment. After a while, he squatted down, picked up the handkerchief, and folded it carefully.After holding it in his hand for a long time, he sighed softly and put it in his arms again.

Perhaps, he was right.

I should go home, accompany my parents, study hard...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
The street drums set up at the intersection of every street in Xudu are beating, thump, thud, thump... the time of the ban has come, and the night ban in Xudu is about to begin.

Sitting in the hall, Cao Peng listened to the sound of street drums outside the mansion, his thoughts wandering.

"My son, my son?"

"Ah, Boss Shi, I'm sorry, I just thought of something, so... come, come, let's have a drink."

Shi A had changed into clean clothes and sat in the hall.

Du Ji was by his side, but most of the time, he just listened and didn't talk.

"My lord, do you seem to have something on your mind?"

Cao Peng took a sip of his wine and nodded, "I'm wondering if that child will be depressed because of today. If so, it's a pity."

Shi Adao: "Master, you mean...you don't doubt that week?"

"Yeah, it feels like a bit too much."

For some reason, when Cao Peng returned home, Zhou Buyi's distraught appearance always flashed in his mind.There is some pity in my heart, and some regret, but more, it is still a kind of anger.I hate those guys who hide behind and play tricks.

If Zhou Buyi was an adult, maybe Cao Peng wouldn't have so many feelings.

but……

Came to Xudu at the age of 13, constantly provoking and challenging things.

Even if one day he succeeds, will those people spare his life?He is almost bearing the hostility of the world's scholars with the immature shoulders of a 13-year-old boy.If those people succeed, Zhou Buyi's ending can also be guessed.

In order to calm the wrath of Shilin, or to hide himself, Zhou Buyi must die.

After all, among the people he faced, which one was easy to talk to?
Cao Peng smiled bitterly, and said to Shi A: "Although Zhou Buyi is hateful, he is still a child after all. The person I am angry with is actually..."

He didn't make it clear, in fact, what.

But with Shi A's experience and Du Ji's wisdom, one can guess the clue.

"Young Master Zhai has a kind heart. If it were me, I would definitely not feel sorry for him."

"Hehe, poor man, there must be something to hate... That's what I said, but when I think of his age, I still feel a little... When I was 13 years old, my father carried me on his back and fled all the way from Zhongyang Mountain to Jiyang Thinking about it now, I am much happier than him."

When Cao Peng talked about himself, Du Ji and Shi A couldn't help but sigh.

Both of them have experienced countless ups and downs.Thinking about it now, I feel the same way.

However, seeing that the atmosphere became so dignified and depressing, Du Ji hurriedly said: "The young master showed his style in Yuxiu Tower today, and it will be a good story in the future. However, Bohou is a little strange, how does the young master know all these things? What do you know?" Bo Hou has never heard of those things you said. Is that guy famous? And where is Europa, Greece?"

Cao Peng was startled, and immediately felt a headache.

He said it happily at the time, but after he came back, he felt the seriousness of the problem.

Because the things he said couldn't be verified at all.In later generations, names like Aristotle may be familiar, but in this era...

When Kong Rong comes tomorrow, he must have an explanation.

Cao Peng was eager to gain wisdom, and said with a smile: "You know, Bohou, who is my teacher?"

"Oh, Mr. Lu Hunshan Hu Zhao Hu Kongming?"

"Sir is my mentor, but in fact, before Mr. Kong Ming, I had another gentleman.

His name was Zuo Ci, and he taught me many things when I was young.These things were taught by Master Zuo Cien, but it's a pity that he doesn't know where he is now. "

He is in Jiangdong!

Cao Peng knew this.

It must be impossible for Kong Rong and others to go to Jiangdong to pay a visit to Zuo Ci.

I heard from my senior brother that Zuo Ci practiced in the mountains and basically rarely showed up.Ha, even if it is to find, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

Well, let's entrust it to Zuo Ci.

Anyway, he is busy cultivating to become a fairy, maybe when...

Well, let's get through this for a while.

As for the future, we will talk about it later!

Cao Peng didn't want to continue discussing this issue, so he changed the subject and said to Shi A: "Boss Shi, you haven't told me why you are in this situation?"

Shi A's complexion suddenly darkened.

After a moment of silence, he raised his head and smiled wryly, "It's a long time to say that."

It turned out that even though he was Cao Pi, he went to Qi County first.After staying in Qi County for a year, Cao Pi was a little dissatisfied with his achievements, so he decided to join the army.In the eighth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao used troops against Yecheng, and the two sides fought extremely fiercely.Cao Pi was ordered to go to Zhongqiu to welcome the Black Mountain bandit out of the mountain, and he was full of enthusiasm, hoping to use this opportunity to establish achievements and be appreciated by Cao Cao.

At that time, Shi A, as Cao Pi's personal follower, naturally went to Zhongqiu together.

"That night, Karasuma Tuki suddenly arrived. Neither I nor Shizi expected it. At that time, most of the camp in Zhongqiu were old, weak, sick and disabled. Zhang Yan's main force had not yet come out of the mountain. When meeting Karasuma Tuki The attack caused the entire Zhongqiu camp to become a mess.

I was protecting my son and wanted to break out of the siege, but I didn't want Karasuma to be very vicious.

When breaking through, we encountered a army of soldiers and horses.Although I tried my best to cover it, I was outnumbered in the end.The son died in the rebellion, but I was frightened by the mount, fell off the horse, broke a leg, and fell into a coma at that time.When I woke up, Karasuma Tuki had already left.The entire Zhongqiu camp... Later, I was found by reinforcements and sent to Yecheng.Sikong was very angry at that time, he hated me for not being able to protect Shizi Zhouxiang, so he broke the tendon in my right hand, and then kicked out of the camp... I am lucky to have survived.After returning to Xudu, all those friends from the past saw me like a scorpion tiger and couldn't avoid it.I also have no choice, the wife and children at home always have to live, so I have to find a job.If I hadn't met the son by chance today, I planned to take my wife and children back to Luoyang's hometown after a while.At least there are still a few of my disciples to rely on, and even if it doesn't work, there are still a few acres of Susukida at home. "

In Shi A's words, there was a bit of frustration.

Cao Peng couldn't help but frowned, and after a while he said softly: "Are you planning to go down like this?"

"Otherwise what can be done."

"Boss Shi, I don't think you can afford it."

Shi A was startled, and looked at Cao Peng in astonishment.

"Boss Shi, your hands and legs are disabled, but your head is still there.

Master Wang taught you the sword skills back then, those sword skills are still there.You still have your left hand, and you can still walk. Did you just give up?Although Sikong cut your hand, but I believe, that is definitely not Sikong's original intention.If you are still the old boss Shi, stay here.As long as you still have hope in your heart, let's do some business together...Boss Shi, I just ask you, in your heart...do you hold grudges against Sikong? "

Shi A fell silent!
After a while, he shook his head lightly, "I was incompetent and failed to save my son's life. Although Sikong cut off my hand, but spared my life, how could I be resentful. But, I really don't know what else to do. You see I can't even walk easily, let alone with a broken hand...Young Master, I know you value friendship. But you seem to be troubled all over now, if you leave me, you will be blamed by Sikong."

Cao Peng looked at Shi A, and said softly: "I keep you, whether Sikong will blame me, I don't know.

But I know that if I let you go, maybe I will blame myself in the future.As I said, you lost your right hand, and you still have your left hand.He has a lame foot, but he can ride a horse.The key is the murderous swordsmanship in your head... So, you just stay here honestly. As for whether you want to sink like this for the rest of your life, or are you willing to join me in making a career and gaining a fortune, that's your choice. "

Shi Ah, be silent again!

"By the way, I have one more thing to ask you. There was another person beside you besides Shizi back then.

But in this life, your life will return to the underworld, and you are physically disabled... Where is that person?Where is he now?Could it be that he also died in the chaos? "

Shi A raised his head, "You mean, Sima Zhongda?"
