Chapter 091: Be a Brother for Life
The moonlight shines through the boxy windows and spills into the prison.
The refreshing fragrance of peach blossoms, with a wisp of fresh wind blowing into the prison, dispelled the damp and rancid smell in the cell, and felt very comfortable.
Two 20-centimeter-long, arm-thick, twisted sticks stood on the window. There are small green buds growing on the wood, which makes people feel very comfortable when they look at it. The area of the cell is not small, about sixty or seventy square meters. Originally, this was supposed to be a large prison, but due to the arrival of the pawn and others, the prison guards hurriedly transferred the prisoners to other cells, cleaned them, and welcomed the occupants of the first office. There were eight beds inside, and the haystacks that had been laid on the ground were also thrown out.
It was the middle of summer and the weather was hot.
Sitting in this cell, it makes people feel very cool.
"Dian Zhonglang, when will you let us out?"
Xu Yi looked at Dian Wei with a dark face.
He hadn't been in such a place since he was so big...... Dian Wei scratched his head, looked around at the seven immature faces in the cell, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Babies, I guess you're going to stay here for a while."
"Huh?"
Dian Wei sighed, "I just came out of the Shizhong Mansion, and your Uncle Xun said that this matter has become a little complicated now...... It's no longer just street fighting. Fu Jun's leg is useless, and it is estimated that he will not think about it properly in this life. Also, you wounded more than 30 people, more than a dozen of them seriously, and six lives. The emperor had heard about this and sent someone to inquire about it. ”
Dian Man said angrily: "It's obviously the fault of that Fu Jun, why do you detain me?" ”
"That is, if he hadn't been making trouble and injuring people, how could we have done it? Dian Zhonglang, I'll wait for this to call the road uneven. ”
Xu Yi shouted loudly, and the cell suddenly became lively.
The jailers hid far away, and no one dared to approach...... This group of young masters, none of them are easy to mess with. Not to mention that Dian Wei and Xu Yi are short-tempered, even Cao Zhen, Cao Zun, and Zhu Zan are not easy to mess with.
The three who are easy to provoke seem to be very silent.
And I heard that these people were very vicious and caused several lives.
When the jailers heard this, they dared to come over and make trouble? I can't wait to worship these people as ancestors, and I don't dare to slack off.
"What's the noise?"
Dian Wei roared angrily, and his voice was like thunder.
In an instant, there was no sound in the cell, and no one shouted.
Who doesn't know, Dian Wei's temper is hot, and when he is in a hurry, he is also a master who does not recognize his six relatives. It can be seen that he is not in a very good mood, and if he wants to provoke him at this time, he may turn his face. Even Cao Zhen and the others closed their mouths and looked at Dian Wei timidly without saying a word.
"Uncle Dian, it's good here!"
Cao Peng has been taking care of Deng Fan, so he didn't participate.
Deng Fan helped him block a knife, but the injury was not very serious.
At that time, although Fu Jun's family had the intention to kill, he was also a little afraid. So the knife was not very powerful and didn't hurt the muscles and bones.
Xiao Kun, a non-famous gynecologist in the Eastern Han Dynasty, is indeed not good at external injuries, but he is very careful in bandaging.
After Deng Fan entered the cell, he fell asleep...... Seeing that he was breathing evenly and was not in danger of his life, Cao Peng could only speak.
"Hehe, it's a little smaller, but it's clean. It's good to stay for two days to avoid the limelight, I guess it must be very chaotic outside now. ”
Dian Wei smiled, "What's the chaos, it's almost going to fry." ”
"Then blow it up, if you don't blow it up, you can't see the clues......"
Cao Zhen didn't know Cao Peng, but seeing that Dian Wei and Xu Yi were very affectionate to him, he thought that Cao Peng was the son-in-law of which family. Although he was not dressed very flamboyantly, his bearing was unusual. Seeing that Dian Wei was kind to Cao Peng, even more cordial than Dian Man, he was even more puzzled in his heart. But listening to Cao Peng's words, Cao Zhen couldn't help but be slightly stunned, revealing an expression of understanding...... "You baby, you are really clever." ”
Dian Wei didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it, he knew the key to it.
As he said, this brawl is no longer a simple street fight, but a struggle for power.
Emperor Han wanted to take this opportunity to test Cao Ying's bottom line.
And those Hanchen hoped to suppress Cao Ying's prestige and gain some authority.
In fact, this battle has been around for a long time. Since the moment Cao Ying cleaned up Yang Biao last year, he has not stopped. Before that, everyone maintained a bit of restraint, and no one tried to pick things off. Now the fight between the second generation of the Cao Party and the second generation of the Han Dynasty, or the second generation of the Royalist Party, is like a fuse, putting many things that everyone refused to explain clearly in the past on the table.
Xun Yu is loyal to the Han family, but he is also loyal to Cao Ying.
In this case, Xun Yu was not good, and he could not make a decision, so he could only wait for Cao Ying to collect his troops and return to Xudu, and then Cao Ying would send him down.
After all, the final decision on this matter is in Cao Ying's hands.
Thinking of this truth, Dian Wei suddenly became relaxed.
"Ah Fu, then you stay here for a few days, and if you need anything, let someone pass me a message. Mrs. Sister-in-law is fine, but she is frightened and has woken up. I ordered her to be sent back to the Dock Fort, and to send men to garrison the fort, so that nothing would happen again. ”
"So, Uncle Trouble."
"Hahaha, what's that?" Dian Wei rolled his eyes, walked to Cao Peng's side, squatted down and asked in a low voice, "Ah Fu, I have already seen the training minutes you gave me...... Do you have anything else to explain? Tell me all at once. ”
The affectionate action made Cao Zhen and the others stunned, and they were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Cao Peng laughed, "Uncle Lao went back to tell my father, and said that he must make the Tiangang Knife before Cao Gong returns...... Also, the gadgets I told him earlier can also be built and crafted, and nothing else. ”
"It's as simple as that?"
Cao Peng nodded, "It's as simple as that!" ”
"Okay, I'll tell Lao Cao so he doesn't have to worry."
Dian Wei stood up and yelled at Dian Man: "Take good care of Ah Fu, don't let people bully him." ”
As he spoke, he glared at a pair of cruel eyes and glanced at Cao Zhen and the others.
Cao Zhen trembled in his heart, and hurriedly showed a smile, "Dian Zhonglang put it down, I will definitely take good care of this ...... Oh, little brother! ”
He didn't know Cao Peng's name yet, so he had to replace it with a little brother.
Dian Wei nodded with satisfaction...... "Uncle Dian!" ”
"What else?"
Cao Peng glanced at the people in the cell, "I guess we have to stay here for a while, and Uncle Lao Dian is helping to make some gadgets outside, so we can play here to relieve our boredom." ”
"What gadgets?"
"Uh...... Can you have pen and paper? ”
Dian Wei immediately yelled at the jailer in the distance: "If there are any survivors, bring a pen and paper." ”
Two jailers panicked to find a pen and paper, and two jailers carried a case of black nan solid wood into the cell.
Cao Peng thought about it, took a few pictures, and then made detailed annotations.
"Uncle Dian, you give this to my brother-in-law and let him make it according to the drawing...... After it is built, send it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very boring. ”
"I know, I know!"
Dian Wei flipped through the drawings and saw that there were squares, red hearts, and strips on it, and he couldn't understand it.
He shrugged his shoulders and put the drawings away, "Then I'll go first...... Listen to me, serve them well, and let them be lazy. ”
"The lower officials respectfully obey the orders of the lieutenant Lang."
The jailer was a petty official who did not enter the stream, so naturally he did not dare to disobey Dian Wei.
Dian Wei scolded and left, and the cell suddenly seemed very quiet...... Cao Zhen looked at Cao Peng suspiciously, and before he could speak, he saw Cao Peng arching his hand towards him and Cao Zun Zhu Zan, "Under Cao Peng, I haven't asked the names of the three high surnames yet." ”
Hey?
Cao Zhen is a little confused!
Could it be that this person is also a disciple of the Cao family? Why haven't I seen ...... "Under Cao Zhen!" ”
Although Cao Zhen was confused in his heart, he still replied very politely.
Is he Cao Zhen?
Cao Peng was suddenly shocked!
That's a big guy...... However, his real rise was in the middle and late stages of the Three Kingdoms. In the eighty-fourth chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Zhen appeared on the stage, attacked Nanjun, and was defeated by Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin. Later, he was blocked by Zhao Yun and finally returned in vain.
After Cao Pi's death, Cao Zhen was bequeathed to assist Cao Rui as a general.
After being defeated by Zhuge Liang in a row, Sima Yi went out of the mountain to be considered a successful defense...... Overall, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Zhen was a stupid, arrogant, conceited and incompetent guy, and was finally humiliated by Zhuge Liang's letter and died of anger.
The above is the statement in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
But what about the real situation?
Cao Peng read the Three Kingdoms for the first time in his previous life, and he also felt that Cao Zhen was incompetent.
But later, as he grew up and deepened his experience, he began to doubt some things in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Cao Pi, that's also a very powerful character! Being able to be assisted by Cao Pi's edict shows that this person is definitely not simple, how can he be an incompetent person?
So, Cao Peng took Baidu seriously.
The answer I got was completely different from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Cao Zhen seems to be a tragic figure who was deliberately scandalized and belittled by Luo Ye in order to praise Zhuge Liang. This person is a son of Cao Ying's clan, and he is very pleased with Cao Ying, who once commanded Cao Wei's elite soldiers, tigers and leopards, and his military achievements are outstanding. Later, he participated in the Battle of Hanzhong as a partial general, moved to lead the army, and reorganized the Shu Protector Army. After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, Cao Zhen was promoted to the general of Zhenxi, and the military ...... of Liangzhou was the governor of Yongzhou and Liangzhou How can such a person be incompetent?
Cao Zhen did fight Zhuge Liang, but he did not fail.
He and Zhang He, the only surviving of the five good generals at that time, successfully resisted Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition and quelled the rebellion of the three counties. Then he ordered Hao Zhao to repair the city in advance in Chencang to resist Zhuge Liang's second Northern Expedition. Later, he was promoted to the position of Great Sima, and supervised the Wei soldiers to attack Shu Han on a large scale, but was forced to withdraw due to heavy rain. After this dispatch, Cao Zhen returned to Luoyang and died of illness soon after.
and Zhuge Liang, and Mao's relationship?
At this time, Cao Zhen did not have the spirit of the later Wei general, and the spirit of the Great Sima even seemed a little immature.
Cao Peng still doesn't know Cao Zhen's current official position, but he knows that he has not yet led the tiger and leopard cavalry...... Because the tiger and leopard ride is not yet formed.
"It turned out to be Cao Gongzi."
Cao Zhen waved his hand again and again, "Everyone lives in a cell and has fought together, which can be regarded as robes, why follow the example of outsiders?" By the way, who are you? Why haven't I seen you? ”
"Uh...... I'm not a disciple of Cao Gongzi, just surnamed Cao. ”
As soon as Cao Peng heard it, he knew that Cao Zhen had misunderstood!
Cao Zhen was suddenly a little embarrassed, "Ah...... It turned out to be the same surname. ”
He didn't know what to say, so he had to snort...... Dian Man laughed, "Zidan, you guy is really interesting, is his surname Cao, is he the same sect as Cao Gong?" ”
Seeing that Cao Zhen was a little embarrassed, Cao Peng hurriedly explained for him, "Brother Aman, you can't say that, I have the same surname as Cao Gongzi, maybe five hundred years ago, it was still a family." ”
"Yes, that's right...... Five hundred years ago it was one, well said. Cao Zhen glared at Dian Man, and said with a smile: "Aman, I usually told you to read, but you are not good at reading...... Hehe, there's a lot of knowledge here, and you can't understand it when I explain it to you. Cao Gongzi ......"
"Just call me Ah Fu, everyone calls me that, this is my nickname."
"Okay, I'll call you Ah Fu!" Cao Zhen was not hypocritical, and said very happily: "By the way, where are you from?" ”
"Uh...... I don't really know about that. I was born in Nanyang County, so I came with Uncle Dian...... If you ask about your ancestral hometown, I'm afraid you have to ask my father. ”
"Nanyang County?" Cao Zhen was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said loudly: "Then dare to ask Cao Jicao, who are you?" ”
Hey?
It seems that Daddy is really famous!
Hidden Ink Juzi ...... This is not a story made up by Cao Peng, it is purely circular, and I don't know who exaggerated it, so that people mistakenly believe it to be true. Cao Peng didn't deliberately defend it, the more rumors about this kind of thing, the more chaotic it is, the better the effect.
"Cao Ji is my father!"
"Haha......" Cao Zhen shouted excitedly, grabbing Cao Peng's hand, "I was looking for you." ”
"Looking for me?"
"I heard that Cao made a good knife, and I really yearn for it, but I don't know how to get acquainted...... Ah Fu, you have to help me, I want a good knife. ”
Cao Peng was amused by this guy!
This guy really doesn't recognize life, so he climbs along the pole.
Cao Ji's current worth is different. It was quite difficult to get the knife he made.
Without waiting for Cao Peng to speak, Dian Man immediately disagreed, "Zidan, everything must come first and come first, Ah Fu and I know each other first, even if you make a knife, you should make a knife for me first." ”
"Uh-huh, I'm the second!"
Xu Yi also came over to join in the fun.
Wang Mai smiled while taking care of Deng Fan.
The tension of being imprisoned dissipated all at once.
It's just that he doesn't know how to join it...... I secretly have some envy in my heart: Ah Fu is really popular, and he can make friends when he goes there...... I can't learn that.
Wang Mai was not jealous, but was happy for Cao Peng.
In his heart, Cao Peng is his brother, a brother for life. Cao Peng can know so many people, and he will definitely be able to soar in the future...... "Tiger head, where are we?" ”
At this time, Deng Fan woke up.
At first glance, he felt a little uncomfortable with this dimly lit cell, and it was a little familiar.
When Thorn Yang was idle, he was imprisoned for fighting. It's just that the previous cell was not so comfortable.
"Brother Big Bear, you're awake!"
Cao Peng hurriedly walked over and helped Deng Fan sit up with Wang Mai.
"Big Bear, thank you......"
"Ahem, brother, thank you?" Deng Fan said softly and looked around suspiciously.
Cao Peng said: "This is Xudu Prison, I guess we have to live here for a while...... But don't worry, everything is fine at home. ”
"Prison?"
Deng Fan finally came to his senses.
The wound on his body, a heart-piercing pain, made him can't help it, and grinned his teeth.
Dianman also ran over and sat down next to him, "Big bear, you're a good man." ”
Regarding Deng Fan's behavior of blocking the knife for Cao Peng, Dian Man and others were very respectful. In his eyes, only a truly good brother would do such a thing, regardless of life and death. Cao Zhen and the others are also young and vigorous, and they are at the age of worshipping heroes, so they are also very kind to Deng Fan.
Put yourself in your shoes, if you were yourself, would you block the knife for your brother?
Cao Zhen subconsciously looked at Cao Zun Zhu Zan, and the three of them looked at each other, and from each other's eyes, they saw the answer in their hearts.
"Brother Deng Fan, don't worry. No one here dares to embarrass us...... The war in Nanyang County is going very well, and it is estimated that at the beginning of next month, the lord will definitely be able to return to the court. When the time comes, we'll go out. If you want revenge, we'll go with you. ”
When Dian Man heard this, he nodded again and again, "The dog said that the Fu is not beaten...... But Ah Fu, you're really ruthless. ”
Cao Zhen didn't see Cao Peng beating people with his bare hands, but he saw him slashing people with a knife; As for Xu Yi, he saw with his own eyes that Cao Peng beat a big man who was much stronger than him with his bare hands, and it was very easy, so he was naturally secretly frightened.
Among these people, Wang Mai and Deng Fan are obviously a little restrained.
Cao Peng saw what they were thinking, and he couldn't help but feel a headache.
In his previous life, he dared to fight against a huge group single-handedly, who hasn't seen it? Cao Zhen and these people are indeed noble-born, but in Cao Peng's eyes, there is no big deal. He has the bowl of old wine in his previous life, so he is naturally calm...... But Wang Mai and Deng Fan are different. They live in this era, and they are all exposed to the arrogance of the family.
To be honest, Wang Mai and Deng Fan have been in Xudu for a few months, although they don't go out much, the big names they have seen have exceeded the sum of the previous fifteen years.
Dian Man is better, after all, he has been in contact with Dian Wei for a while.
But Cao Zhen ...... That's the son of the Great Sikong Cao Gong!
What kind of official is Da Sikong? They also know something about it now.
Compared with Cao Ying, those officials I have seen before...... Kuaizheng, Cheng Yao, including the flow of yellow shooting...... The gods and horses are all floating clouds!
This made Wang buy Deng Fan, how could he not feel nervous?
"Brother Tiger Head, Brother Big Bear......"
Cao Peng frowned, thinking about it.
He smiled and said, "Let's bow down." ”
"Swearing?"
"Yes, Brother Tiger Head and I grew up together, and Brother Big Bear met in Jianyang, and he didn't know each other. The old Taoist who taught me once said to me: 500 lifetimes of friendship can be exchanged for brothers in this life. When my mother was bullied, Brother Tiger was not afraid of the other party's strength and desperately guarded it; When I was slashed with a knife, Brother Big Bear did not hesitate to block a knife for me...... This is not a brother, or what? ”
Wang Mai and Deng Fan were stunned for a moment!
And the five people who were full of Xu Yi and Cao Zhen were silent on the side...... If this is not a brother, then is there a brother in the world?
