Cao Thief

Chapter 98 Name, Wonderful

In fact, Dianman is back now, which is quite embarrassing.

Going home with clothes and coffins, he almost became the laughing stock of others.I thought my father died in battle, but I didn't expect to come back after a month!
This made Dianman's previous behavior somewhat nondescript.

From a human standpoint, Dianman did nothing wrong.But after all, the old man was still alive, and when Dianman heard the news, he didn't know how to deal with the clothes around him.Could it be burned?Seems out of place!But if it is transported back to Xudu, it seems that it is not appropriate.In the end, Dianman had no choice but to take out the clothes in the coffin and hand over the coffin to Cheng Yu, the prefect of Dongjun.

Dianman, with a group of retainers, returned to Xudu overnight.

After returning home, Dianman learned about Cao Ji's family from Dianwei.

To be honest, Dianman is very grateful to Cao Ji's family, and at the same time, he is full of curiosity about Cao Ji's knife making.

Ke Dianwei said to him: "In the future, you should associate with Ah Fu more. That kid is amazing, and his future achievements must be immeasurable."

Dianman is 15 years old, and he is young and energetic.

After hearing Dian Wei's words, he was not convinced at once.

However, he is not a person who does not know good and bad, nor is he the kind of playboy.He was not convinced, but it would not affect his gratitude to the Cao family.

No, as soon as I have free time today, Dianman will come over.

Apart from wanting to see how Cao Ji made knives, he also wanted to see what Cao Peng, who was praised by Dian Wei, looked like.

Dianman is a little disappointed!

Cao Peng, it looks like a little doll who didn't open his eyes at all.

Although Dianman and Cao Peng are about the same age, they are very different in size and shape.

He inherited Dian Wei's genes and is tall. At the age of 15, he is already close to 180 in height, and has a thick body, broad arms and round waist.With a bronze face and green fluff growing around his lips, he seemed to be much more mature than his peers.

Standing there is like a hill, which makes people feel an indescribable sense of oppression.

"You, are you Ah Fu?"

Dianman lowered his head and looked at Cao Peng.

In terms of height, Cao Peng has indeed grown a lot these days, about 163 or so.

People are also stronger than before, but from the outside, they don't seem to be much stronger.Standing in front of Dianman with a thin body and rather delicate face, there is a huge visual difference immediately.But it seems that Cao Peng didn't notice this.

He walked up the steps, which were about the same height as Norman.

"I'm Cao Peng, are you Aman from Uncle Dian's family?"

When Dianman heard this, he felt a little unhappy.

That's right, Dian Wei was born in a poor family, but since he became Cao Cao's guard, his family's status has also increased.

Norman suffered a little when he was a child, but later he basically grew up in a honeypot.

In my impression, apart from Dian Wei and his uncle Dian Qiang, even his mother never called him by his nickname in front of his face.

This kid, you don't know how to be polite?
Dianman suppressed his anger, "Ah Fu, I came today to thank you for saving my father's life. From now on in Xudu, if anyone troubles you, you can come to me... This Wubao is Cao Gonggang. Give my house a reward, you just need to live there, if you need anything, you are welcome."

Although he thought he spoke decently, there was a kind of arrogance in his tone.

Cao Peng remained calm and said with a smile: "Naturally, I will ask Brother Aman to take care of him more in the future."

This kid knows what to do!

Dianman muttered in his heart, and his attitude became much more intimate.

Dad asked me to listen to him more, and he also said that his future is limitless... Well, in my opinion, it's nothing more than that, nothing special.

"I heard that your father can make knives, can you take me to have a look?"

Cao Peng scratched his head, "The iron furnace is in the next yard, you can see it when you go in."

"You won't take me there?"

There was a trace of displeasure on Dianman's face.

Cao Peng smiled, "We still have homework to do, so it's hard to get away."

"Homework?" Dian Man was stunned for a moment, looked at Cao Peng, then at Wang Mai and Deng Fan, curled his lips, "In that case, I'll visit Uncle Cao first."

At least in terms of etiquette, Dianman has done quite well.

Cao Peng bowed his hands, bid farewell to Dianman, and then took Wang Mai and Deng Fan to the school grounds.

There is a small school field in Wubao, which is where Cao Peng and Wang Mai Deng Fan usually practice kung fu.After blacksmithing every day, they will practice here after they have a rest.Wang Mai has reached the level of Yi Gu, and Deng Fan has also started the Kung Fu practice of building a foundation in a hundred days.

As for Cao Peng, recently he felt faintly that he was about to break through the stage of foundation building.

After nearly four months of practicing, Cao Peng could clearly feel that his energy and blood had reached a certain bottleneck.The shelf has been straightened, and the kneading hands have also reached a proficient level.These days, Cao Peng's main effort is to figure out how to break through this bottleneck.

There is a circular open space in the school grounds, with dozens of sandbags suspended.

After Cao Peng stretched his muscles and bones, he stepped on the yin and yang, dodged and submerged in it.According to the footwork of Tai Chi, shuttle between the sandbags.Use your palms, elbows, shoulders, back, and hips to push, knead, and hit the sandbag.At first, the sandbags swayed very little, but as Cao Peng's movements increased, the sandbags swayed more and more.The sandbags swayed and swayed without any rules, making the space for Cao Peng to dodge and move smaller and smaller.Even so, while Cao Peng was walking, there would be the sound of puffy beating from time to time to increase the strength of the sandbags.

Wang Mai and Deng Fan stood by and watched. Seeing Cao Peng walking among the sandbags like a butterfly spreading flowers, they couldn't help applauding.

"Brother Tiger Head, Brother Big Bear, remember my steps, I'll finish playing in a while, you guys have to go too."

"No, practice this again?"

Wang Mai couldn't help but lose face!
He clearly remembered that when Cao Peng taught him a few days ago, he was hit by a sandbag and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

The pace cannot be mastered in a day, and he and Deng Fan are both tall and big, and they will be hit by sandbags if they are not careful.

To be honest, the two of them really didn't feel that it was of any use.

Cao Peng walked among the sandbags for a cup of tea, then stepped out from inside.

The breath was obviously a little chaotic, and the beads of sweat on his forehead shone brightly under the sunlight.

"Brother Tiger Head, it's your turn!"

"Ah Fu, once I practice Baji, what's the use of practicing this?"

Cao Peng didn't answer either, just looked at Wang Mai with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I'll go all the way."

While Wang Mai was talking, he stepped into the sandbag formation.Different from Cao Peng's training method just now, after Wang bought it, his fists hit the sandbags with wind, making a dull sound.The swaying range of the sandbag increased accordingly, and Wang Mai gradually became unable to take care of it.

When Cao Peng practiced, he seldom used strong force, but more often used force to dodge and move.

But Wang Mai is open and close, more than vigorous, but not clever enough.In this way, the impact force of the sandbag will also increase. If you are not careful, you will be hit with a black nose and a swollen face.Most of these sandbags weigh forty to fifty catties, and with every effort, the force of the counterattack will be increased by one point.Anyway, the more force Wang Mai used, the greater the power of the sandbag to fight back.In half a cup of tea time, Wang Mai couldn't dodge in time, and was hit by a flying sandbag. He fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

Deng Fan was on the side, practicing with a two-meter-long, ten-centimeter-diameter bamboo tube filled with sand and stones.

He squatted and rolled the bamboo tube back and forth on his arms.The arms are at the same level as the shoulders, relying on the strength of the muscles on the arms to push the bamboo tube.This kind of kung fu is the most powerful.Deng Fan put the bamboo tube on the ground, pointed at the embarrassed Wang Mai, and laughed.

"Is this the homework you said?"

Cao Peng turned his head to look, and saw Dianman following Xia Houlan, standing at the gate of the small school, with a disdainful smile on his face.

"Why, don't you look down on it?"

Dianman shook his head, "What's the use of your practice?"

"Whether it's useful or not, you'll know if you try it..."

"Just try it!"

Dianman laughed, and took off the brocade robe on his body as he walked, revealing a tiger-striped single shirt.

"This kind of training method can't kill people!"

Cao Peng said: "If you can't even practice this, how can you talk about killing people?"

"Humph!"

Dianman stepped forward with an expression of 'I don't believe in evil'.

Wang Mai grinned and ran to Deng Fan's side. Before he could stand still, Xia Houlan hugged his neck, "Just take a gamble, how long can he last?"

"Hundred breaths!" Deng Fan blurted out.

Wang Mai curled his lips, "It's hard, the sand formation is really difficult. Ah Fu seems to have added weight, I guess he can't hold on for eighty breaths."

Xia Houlan's ears were straightened, but her eyes were fixed on Dianman's movements.

He is no longer depressed!

Admitting the bet and admitting defeat is justified... and judging from the current situation, it seems that the old Cao family really has a bright future.Xia Houlan is different from Dian Wei. Dian Wei is not confused about big things, but not smart about small things.But Xia Houlan is different, he is better than Dian Wei in details.

Deng Ji was in Runan, and without anyone noticing, he killed Cheng Yao without causing any disturbance.

Although he is now concerned about the child in Cao Nan's stomach, he rejected Man Chong's invitation and returned to Xudu.But after all, he has been highly valued by Man Chong, and when he fails to keep it, he will become famous; what about Cao Ji?It seems to be a knife made wholeheartedly.But when you make knives, why do you have to play so many tricks?Obviously, members of the old Cao's family are joining forces with Dian Wei to create momentum for Cao Ji.

Once this momentum is created, who dares to say what achievements Cao Ji will have in the future?
In addition, Wang Meng joined the Huben army with Dianwei, and is now a general of Huben with a salary of [-] shi.

Although Deng Juye and his wife have not shown any talents yet, who can guarantee that this family will not have a bright future?
Although he was a retainer of the Cao family, the Cao family treated Xia Houlan very politely.

When these people become prosperous in the future, Xia Houlan will naturally rise as well.Moreover, with these people around, Xia Houlan would no longer fight alone.

After adjusting her mentality, Xia Houlan quickly adjusted.

When Cao Peng was hanging sandbags a few days ago, Xia Houlan also tried it, so she naturally knew the difficulty.

Dianman was outside the arena, stretched his legs and feet, let out a yell, and suddenly jumped out, rushing into the sand formation with a whimper...

"Fifty breaths!" Xia Houlan spat decisively, "The bet is the same."

"make a deal!"

Cao Peng suddenly said, "I'm a reckless man, I'm afraid I won't be able to support it with fifty breaths, so I'll bet thirty breaths."

Thirty breaths?
The three of Xia Houlan looked at Cao Peng: You should save some face for Mr. Dian!How long is thirty interest?It only takes thirty breaths.

Although they were not optimistic about Dianman, Xia Houlan and the others did not believe that Dianman would not last more than thirty breaths.

Pong!
With a loud noise, Dianman's imitation tiger fist struck fiercely on a sandbag in front of him.Then he dodged by taking a wrong step, raised his elbow, and knocked a sandbag beside him into the air. Just as he was about to pass through the gap between the sandbags, he saw a black shadow coming towards him with the sound of wind.

Without saying a word, Dianman swung his fist forward.

It has to be said that his boxing skills are not bad.

Dian Wei's imitation tiger boxing is a boxing method learned from chasing tigers across the mountains and wilds. It is about powerful, ferocious and violent.I saw Dianman punching and kicking, and the sound in the sand was endless.Even Cao Peng and Xia Houlan, who were watching the battle, couldn't help nodding their heads in praise.

"The harder he hits, the faster he loses."

Cao Peng shook his head, "Thirty interest, I bet twice."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and left, stood still on the other side of the school field, performed Ba Duan Jin Zhuang Gong, combined with the Ba Zi Mantra, and began to practice.

As for Norman...he didn't care anymore.

In the sand formation, Dianman showed his might.In the first twenty breaths, he was still able to keep his feet on the ground, but as he hit more and more sandbags, he gradually became unable to resist.There were beast-like roars from his mouth, but his fists and feet seemed to be more and more scattered. In the end, there was almost no trick.Without paying attention, Dianman slapped a sandbag flying, but was hit by a sandbag flying from the side.

He staggered under his feet, and a sandbag flew towards him, and the puffy one slapped him on the chest.

Dianman yelled and took three steps back, but was hit on the back by a sandbag behind him, and fell to the ground with a plop, unable to get up for a long time.

"28 breaths!" Wang Mai roared angrily, "You breathed so much just now, you couldn't even last [-] breaths, which made me lose money."

Dianman was a little dazed by the bump, but he heard Wang Mai's roar clearly.

Resisting the soreness all over his body, he got up, pointed at Wang Mai and said, "You black man, how dare you bet on me?"

Deng Fan looked disdainful, "Mr. Huandian, I can last for eighty breaths... Bah."

"you……"

Dianman was so angry that he yelled, but he couldn't make any sense.

Xia Houlan walked over with a wet towel and handed it to Dianman, with the same look of hating iron but not steel, "Young Master Dian, you have disappointed me so much. I still think you can hold on for fifty breaths, how can you hold on to it?" If you know 28 breaths, then... well, wipe your face."

Dianman, blushing!

"I don't believe it, it's just a few broken sandbags, don't try to stop me."

He turned around, his tiger eyes wide open, staring at the dozens of sandbags for a while, and after a loud roar, he rushed in again.

But this time, Wang Mai Deng Fan and Xia Houlan obviously had no interest in watching.They turned around one by one, busy with their own affairs...

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

Xudu, the hall of Huben Mansion.

Deng Ji looked at the two men in front of him, and said politely: "Gentlemen, Dian Zhonglang is not in the mansion right now, if you want to find him, you can go to Cheqi mansion. If there is nothing urgent, you can wait here. It is estimated that he will return before dark."

The older man smiled slightly, "May I ask Mr. Gao's name?"

"Deng Ji, who was originally a refugee. Meng Dian Zhonglang took him in and lived here temporarily."

"Deng Ji?" The young man frowned, "I seem to have heard of this name..."

"Dare to ask the two gentlemen..."

The older man smiled slightly, "I'm Xun Yu, the word Wen Ruo."

When Deng Ji heard this, Ji Lingling shuddered, and quickly stood up, "But Yingchuan Eight Dragons, Xun Wen Ruo Xun servant?"

The older man nodded and bowed in return.

The Xun family in Yingchuan is a large family in Yuzhou with extremely strong strength.

There are two generations of children, and there are as many as a dozen people who are famous all over the world.Among them, eight people are the most, so they are named Xun's Eight Dragons.This Xun Yu is one of the Eight Dragons.

Since Xun Yu was very young, he was considered to have the talent of Wang Zuo.

After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he resigned and returned to his hometown, leading his clan to move to Jizhou.However, as time went by, Xun Yu believed that Yuan Shao could not achieve great things.After the princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao settled in Dongjun.Xun Yu went to Dongjun and defected to Cao Cao.And Cao Cao admired him very much, comparing him to Zhang Liang and making him Sima.That year, Xun Yu was only 29 years old, and he was the first real celebrity under Cao Cao's account.Since then, Xun Yu has made many meritorious deeds and recommended many people for Cao Cao.In the first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao welcomed the emperor, and it was Xun Yu who made suggestions.After moving the capital to Xudu, Cao Cao appointed Xun Yu as a servant and concurrently served as a minister.

This is also the real celebrity among the people Deng Ji grew up with.

The young man next to Xun Yu smiled and said, "I'm not talented Guo Jia, I'm going to sacrifice wine for Sikong Shi."

"But the genius Guo Fengxiao?"

"Ghost?"

Guo Jia was startled, and looked at Deng Ji in astonishment.

The name of ghost was still mentioned by Cao Peng to Deng Ji.

The two once talked about the advisers under Cao Cao's tent, and Cao Peng recommended four people, namely Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and Xun You.This is also a comment made by later generations, saying that in addition to these four of the five advisers under Cao Cao's account, there is another one who has never been attached to Jia Xu.

That is, in that discussion, Cao Peng said the name of ghost.

Xun Yu couldn't help laughing out loud, "Mr. Deng's phrase 'ghost' is beyond words. Filial piety has far-sightedness, talent and strategy, and is a genius in the world. However, this genius is not as good as Mr. 'ghost' 'It's more appropriate... The Lord said, if Feng Xiao was born in Chu and Han, he may not lose to Chen Ping."

In one sentence, Guo Jia was embarrassed, and his handsome face turned red with embarrassment.

Deng Ji wondered: I never heard that Lord Dian had friendship with these two people, why...

Just as he was wondering, he heard Xun Yu say, "I heard that Jun Ming was helped by a strange person, so I came to pay a visit with Feng Xiao. Please don't blame me, sir, the two of us are not looking for Jun Ming, but actually came here for you."

"Come here for me?" Deng Ji quickly waved his hands, "You two gentlemen are being polite, Deng Ji is just a nobody, how can he be valued by the two of you."

Xun Yu said: "Sir, don't be polite. In fact, I have come to see you to inquire about something."

Deng Ji couldn't help but thump in his heart...

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

Finally, the day of the shelves has arrived, which also heralds the beginning of a new round of rush.

Lao Xin will work hard to create, to thank everyone for their support.A new month, a new beginning, Lao Xin also begs everyone to continue to support Lao Xin.

Ask for a first order, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket...

It seems a bit shameless, but Lao Xin really needs it! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
