Cao Thief

Chapter 82 Lang Ling
Nieyang, Taoyuan.

After the fifteenth day, the weather is getting warmer, and the mountains are full of peach blossoms as far as the eye can see.

Zhang Zhongjing is sitting under the peach blossoms in the garden, writing a medical book in deep thought.The title of the book "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", as early as when he was the prefect of Changsha, he had such an idea.After experiencing the disaster of Nanyang Great Plague, he could finally relax and write this medical masterpiece with great influence in the medical history of later generations.But obviously, this is not an easy task.

The old housekeeper, Mao Bo, bent over and stepped forward.

"Master, Huang shot is gone!"

Zhang Zhongjing's pen trembled and he raised his head.

"So, the Cao family kid really robbed his parents?"

Mao Bo said: "It should be a success! Yesterday, the whole city of Jiyang County was under martial law, and the townspeople showed up everywhere, which is enough to explain all the problems. Just now the uncle came over and said that Father Pang De went to Xiangyang and questioned Liu Jingzhou face to face. It wasn’t very comfortable either.”

Zhang Zhongjing laughed when he heard this!
He is a doctor, but at the same time he is also an official.

His keen political sense allowed him to immediately grasp the key point.

Previously, the reason why he took Deng Ji in and even helped Cao Peng was out of the doctor's heart and also for a promise he had made at the beginning.When Huang Yueying left Nieyang, she asked him to take care of Cao Peng and left a letter.Unexpectedly, as soon as Huang Yueying left, Huang She transferred him to Xiangyang.Liu Biao's wife was fine, so Zhang Zhongjing solved the problem very quickly.It's just that when he returned to Nieyang, he heard that Cao Peng followed his brother-in-law to Nine Girls City to apply for a job.

Afterwards, the change of sunset gathering occurred...

The Nieyang Zhang family may not be considered a powerful family, but it is also a local wealthy family.

Zhang Zhongjing even served as the prefect of Changsha with a rank of two thousand shi. How could he not clearly understand the mystery of this?
To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the so-called face of the family.From the perspective of the aristocratic family, Huang She plotting against Cao Peng is not a big deal.

But Zhang Zhongjing was very dissatisfied with his methods of extermination.

Therefore, Zhang Zhongjing helped Cao Peng, but he never met Cao Peng from the beginning to the end.

Zhang Zhongjing didn't even send Huang Yueying's letter to Cao Peng.In his opinion, it is better not to send this letter, so as to avoid future entanglements.After all, no matter what, Cao Peng and Huang Yueying are people from two worlds... In his heart, Zhang Zhongjing still has some bias towards Huang She.Physicians are sympathetic, but the power of the aristocratic family is definitely not something that people like Zhang Zhongjing can resist.

Mao Bo said: "I heard that the Cao family robbed people this time, but they mobilized a lot of power."

"Oh?"

"The news from my uncle is that there were nearly a hundred casualties in the Nine Girls City camp... It is said that Chen Jiu, a general of the Huang family in Jiangxia, once led his troops to chase, but was tricked by the other party. More than 20 cavalry troops were lost. Not to mention, I didn't even see the other party's shadow..."

Zhang Zhongjing put down the pen in his hand.

"It looks like there's someone behind Cao's kid to help?"

"I'm not sure, but according to the news that the uncle inquired, the person next to the Cao family's son seems to be Dian Wei, the captain of Wu Meng under Cao Gong's tent."

Zhang Zhongjing's eyes suddenly flashed a cold light.

"Dianwei? Isn't he dead?"

"Zhang Xiu said that, but no one is seen when he is born, and no corpse is seen when he is dead. Maybe Dian Wei is not dead?"

Uncle Mao said softly, Zhang Zhongjing sighed, picked up the pen, thought for a while and asked: "You said, why did Duke Pang stand up for Cao Peng?"

"This, I can't explain clearly."

"You have also had contact with Cao Peng, how do you feel about this person?"

Mao Bo tilted his head, thought for a while and said, "I didn't have a few words with him, it's just that he seems to have practiced some fairy arts, and he doesn't know which old fairy he learned from. He wanted to talk to me a few times, However, due to other reasons, I have never been able to really get in touch.

Based on my observation of him, this child is ordinary and nothing special can be seen.On weekdays, his brother-in-law Deng Ji is more likely to come forward... Deng Ji is a capable person, but he seems to attach great importance to that child, and sometimes even focuses on that child.I went to Jiyang to inquire about him before, but Jiyang couldn't explain the situation clearly, only that Kuai Zheng was very affectionate to him...

Master, his surname is Cao, and Mr. Cao is also surnamed Cao...Do you think the two Caos are the same? "

Zhang Zhongjing fell into deep thought.

"Old Mao, can you still contact fellow Taoists from back then?"

Mao Bo said: "It's possible to get in touch, but the five buckets of rice are only limited to the southwest, so I'm afraid we may not be able to find out about other things."

"Give it a try!" Zhang Zhongjing said, "If Dian Wei is really accompanying the youngest son of the Cao family, then he will definitely go to Xudu. Although Cao Gong lost Wancheng this time, he did not hurt his vitality. He served the emperor to order the princes, Occupying the name of righteousness, Wancheng will be taken again sooner or later. I think Mr. Cao is also a person who does great things, and he deserves attention. How about this, you find a way to contact Ma Zhen and let him go to Xudu."

"Ke Ma really just gained a firm foothold in Hebei..."

Zhang Zhongjing thought for a while, "That's true. It would be a pity if I gave up at this time. It's just that among the Zhang family's children, it seems difficult to make a big difference, otherwise... how about this, you go and talk to your elder brother. Let Bo Yang go and see the situation."

Zhang Zhongjing is a doctor, but at the same time represents the Nieyang Zhang family.

The things he has to consider are not only medical, but also some political issues.Not putting all eggs in one basket is not only a method often used by aristocratic families, but also a choice made by local wealthy families like Zhang Zhongjing.

Zhang Zhongjing said: "The fault is that I am compiling medical skills now, and I can't leave. Otherwise, I will go to Xudu myself..."

Mauber smiled, but didn't say anything.

Seeing that Zhang Zhongjing lowered his head again and continued to bury his head in his medical skills, he bent his body and quietly backed away.

Now that he has cultivated the Immortal Art, maybe...

He scratched his gray hair, and a weird smile appeared on his face: it looks like it's time to connect with the old brothers.

--------------------------

A sneeze!

Cao Peng sat on the horse and suddenly sneezed.

"Ah Fu, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Cao Peng rubbed his nose, smiled and said, "Why is it uncomfortable? I guess, who is scolding me?"

Wang Mai laughed immediately, lightly tapped the horse's belly with both feet, and took two steps on the horse under his crotch, and arrived at Cao Peng's side, "Ah Fu, what is Xu Do?"

"Uh, I haven't been there, how would I know?"

"I don't know if it's bigger than Wancheng? Hehe, I've grown so big, I haven't been to such a big place. I went to Wuyin County twice with my father before. There are so many people... I don't know Xu Du Are there more people than Wuyin?" Wang Mai had a longing look on his face, and there was a hint of expectation in his words.Perhaps, for every child who comes out of a small city, Emperor is a place full of hope.

Cao Peng has no special feelings... No matter how prosperous Xudu is, can it be more prosperous than the cities of later generations?
However, he will not destroy Wang Mai's dream.Fourteen or fifteen years old, isn't it the age of a dream...

"Big Bear, what do you want to do when you arrive in Xudu?"

Wang Mai suddenly turned around and asked loudly.

Deng Fan was not very good at riding, so he sat in the carriage with his father Deng Juye.

Deng Fan said: "I just want to be rich and buy a big house in Xudu, so that my father and mother can live comfortably in it... well, it's bigger than my uncle's house."

Uncle is Deng Ji's old man, also the patriarch of Deng Village, an old man who is treacherous and cunning, but timid and afraid of getting into trouble.

After hearing Deng Fan's words, Deng Juye couldn't help laughing.

Because from Deng Fan's answer, he felt the deep filial piety of his son.

Cao Peng smiled and urged his horse to catch up with Dian Wei.

"Uncle Dian, when are we going?"

Dian Wei pointed forward with his hand, "Bypassing the mountain in front, you will be ruled by Lang Ling. When you arrive at Lang Ling, basically we will be home!"

Five days have passed since I left Laojun Temple.

During the five days, everyone stayed overnight, and the journey was smooth.

Huang She didn't continue to send troops to chase, so everyone gradually relaxed.Walking by the Bishui River, you can see the willows are green and full of spring.

From Jiyang to Queshan, it happens to pass through the middle of Biyang and Wuyin counties.

Cao Cao withdrew from Nanyang County, and Zhang Xiu regained Wuyin. In order to make up for the previous rift with Liu Biao, the two sides decided not to set up checkpoints between the two counties.

Was the relationship repaired?

God knows!
But it was cheaper for Cao Peng and others, and they went all the way without hindrance.

Langling has a very long history.In later generations, it is also called Queshan County, which is under the jurisdiction of Zhumadian City, Henan Province.As early as ancient times, there were human activities here.In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the northern part of Langling was the country of Dao, and the southeast was the country of Jiang.In the fourth year of Emperor Gaodi of the Western Han Dynasty, Lang Ling was set up, which was under the jurisdiction of Runan County.

Speaking of Langling, the most famous one is Langling canned wine.

According to legend, Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, visited Langling when he was sick, drank the local fine wine, and was so happy that he recovered from his illness.

Since then, Langling canned wine has become a very famous product in the local area, and it is even used as tribute wine, which is presented to the imperial court every year...

It was handed down in BC and the early Western Han Dynasty.

Langling canned wine is a tribute wine, and there is indeed a fact.It's just that in Langling County, this tribute wine can be seen everywhere. As soon as you enter Langling, you can smell the strong aroma of wine that permeates the air.

"To drink authentic Langling wine, you have to go to Li's shop in Dushan." Maybe because he returned to his own territory, Dian Wei seemed very excited all the way.Thinking about it, I escaped from the dead once, traveled around half of Nanyang County, and finally returned to my own territory... It's safe and relaxed, and when I return to Xudu, I can reunite with my family!The joy in this heart is naturally beyond words.

"Don't see the banners of Lang Lingjiu hanging everywhere, they are all fake!
After I captured Langling with my lord last year, I traveled all over the county with Xu Huhu.If it wasn't told by the locals, they would definitely be fooled. "

Dian Wei laughed and said, "Wait a while, I'll invite you to Li's shop for a drink."

Wang Meng, Cao Ji and Wei Yan all smiled and nodded.

Cao Peng suddenly reined in his horse, pointed ahead and asked, "Uncle Dian, why is there a checkpoint ahead?"

On a straight road leading to the county seat, a checkpoint is set up in the middle of the road.Cars, horses and pedestrians on both sides formed a long queue...

Dian Wei frowned, and said to himself: "That's great, why is there such an extra checkpoint here?"
