The man and the others stayed in the room for a while, and then they left one after another.

Actually, everyone is tired. Whether it was Dianman Wang Mai, who participated in the war, or Xu Yi, who went to Chen Liu to ask for help, he basically never rested. It's just that Cao Peng has not woken up, which has also made everyone worried, unable to rest, and has persevered until now.

Now, Cao Peng has woken up!

Everyone's hearts hanging in their throats also fell.

This relaxation was followed by a surge of sleepiness. When Dian Man Xu Yi spoke, he kept yawning, and Cao Peng was also sleepy.

"Brother Tiger Head, you can go and rest too!"

"I'll stay with you for a while."

"No, I know my own body, it's fine. You and Fifth Brother haven't slept all night, don't hold on! I think we'll be leaving soon, so get your spirits up. You should take care of your spirits earlier, and let's start early. ”

Wang Mai persisted for a while, but in the end he couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to go back to rest.

However, Deng Fan did not leave and accompanied Cao Peng in the room.

"Fifth Brother ......"

Before Cao Peng could speak, Deng Fan stopped him.

"Ah Fu, you were born and died, and you were wounded. But I stayed here, and I didn't accomplish anything. I know that my martial arts are not at home, and they are of no great use. It's okay to take care of you here...... If you talk about me again, you will not regard me as a brother. ”

"Okay, okay, then I won't rush you."

Deng Fan said this, and Cao Peng couldn't catch him anymore.

At this time, Deng Ji took the doctor to check Cao Peng's pulse. This doctor is still the doctor who came over from Hu Hua the night before yesterday, and he has been staying in Gaoyang Tingtingyi. Although it was not clear what was going on, the pavilion was heavily guarded, and there were constant officers and soldiers coming in and out, and the doctor knew that something big must have happened. He didn't ask, though. Sometimes, it's smart to be confused.

gave Cao Peng a pulse, and the doctor gave another order and prescribed a prescription.

Actually, say that he is very good at medicine?

It's a bit of an excess...... In a small place like Gaoyang Pavilion, it is impossible to have any Langzhong with excellent medical skills. It's just to diagnose and treat some ordinary diseases, like Cao Peng's internal injuries, which he really can't solve. Therefore, the prescription is also a prescription for replenishing qi and nourishing the body.

Cao Peng knows his injuries!

The main thing was Lei Xu's kick, which hurt his internal organs.

This kind of injury can not be cured in a while, and it can be regarded as the right medicine to replenish qi and nourish the body.

The rest is self-recuperation. Cao Peng estimated that Lei Xu's kick, he would take at least half a month to recover.

However, there is nothing to do, and Cao Peng is not in a hurry.

After chatting with Deng Fan for a while, Cao Peng picked up the box from the pillow and opened it gently.

"Hiss......"

Cao Peng couldn't help but take a breath.

No wonder this box is heavy, and there are ten horseshoe gold inside.

In addition to this, there is also a pair of white silk with dense words written on it. Looking at the font, the person who writes the letter should have a certain amount of knowledge and cultivation. The word is the most popular flying white book at the moment! This Feibaishu is a very special kind of calligraphy, which originated from the scholar and celebrity in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Yong.

Legend has it that during the time of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the craftsman who decorated the Hongdu Gate wrote with a broom brushed with white powder, and Cai Yong saw it and created the Flying White Book.

This kind of calligraphy, the slightest white in the strokes, as if written by a dry pen, gives people a sense of flying.

Therefore, as soon as calligraphy appeared, it was admired by many people. Including Deng Ji, he also appreciates this kind of flying white book and practices at home from time to time.

Cao Peng's calligraphy is very ordinary, but because he saw Deng Ji practice, he was deeply impressed.

can write such an excellent Feibai book, this writer is probably not an idle person...... "Ah Fu, what is written on it?" ”

Deng Ji asked on the side.

Cao Peng read it carefully and handed the white silk to Deng Ji.

The letter was written by a man named 'Cheng', but he did not leave his surname.

He invited Lei Xu to do a big job, and he could guarantee the safety of Lei Xu and others. If Lei Xu is willing, he can send someone to Xuyi to contact him. and also said that he would leave someone in Xuyi and wait for Lei Xu's arrival. In addition, he also left a contact information, saying that there is a Yunshan rice store in Xuyi, and as long as Lei Xu sends someone over and asks for food with gold, there will be someone in the rice line to receive him.

Overall, it's a solicitation letter.

The content is written about the mystery of the gods, and there is not much information left.

In addition to knowing that the person who wrote the letter was a person named 'Cheng', it was Xuyi's Yunshan Mixing as a clue.

Xuyi is also a county seat under the rule of Guangling County.

Didn't you say that Xue Zhou recruited Lei Xu? Why did another 'Cheng' come out?

After reading it, Deng Ji asked Cao Peng: "Ah Fu, what do you have to do?" ”

"Me?" Cao Peng shook his head, "I really don't understand the paste in my head now." The matter of Xuezhou is not very clear, and now that such a 'success' has popped up, I am really a little confused. Brother-in-law, do you think this 'success' is Xuezhou's backer? ”

Deng Ji thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "I can't tell you clearly." ”

"That'...... We'll see what happens. ”

"It's good!"

I am not in Haixi, and I don't know the situation in Haixi, everything is conjecture.

Whether it is Cao Peng or Deng Ji, they are a little confused at the moment, let alone make a detailed plan to ......, "By the way, when will we leave?" ”

"What do you say?"

"General Xiahou will definitely come over, and then there will be a little more maneuvering."

"I think it's better not to be too public."

"Why?"

"Lei Xu's incident was originally an accident. If it's too public, let's go east all the way, and there will be trouble.

Lei Xu was the target of Xue Zhou's great efforts, but he died at the hands of you and me.

If it spreads, I am afraid that it will alert Xue Zhou, and even before we can gain a firm foothold in Haixi, they will start to get rid of us. We don't need this reputation now, maybe it will be self-defeating. I think we should go quietly and do things quietly now...... Moreover, General Xiahou may not be willing to publicize it. After all, Chen Liujun is under his rule, and such a thing is shameless. ”

Deng Ji thought about it and felt that what Cao Peng said was also very reasonable.

So he nodded, put away the white silk and horseshoe gold, and handed it to Cao Peng for safekeeping.

"In that case, you have a good rest first, and I'll go and discuss with Mr. Puyang again."

Cao Peng nodded, leaning on the couch a little tiredly.

After Deng Ji left, he closed his eyes and pondered the contents of the white silk.

Lei Xu-Xuezhou-Chen Deng...... This was originally a very clear vein, but suddenly it became chaotic because of the appearance of this 'cheng'. Also, Xiao Wu said earlier that Lei Cheng also mentioned a 'Lu Mei'. Who is this Rumei? What does it have to do with Xue Zhou and Chen Deng?

One name after another kept popping up in Cao Peng's mind, gradually entangled and becoming more and more chaotic.

Xuyi!

Cao Peng opened his eyes.

Haixi—Xuyi?

What is the connection between the two?

—————————————————————————————— afternoon, Xiahou Yuan sent someone over, saying that he was going to invite Deng Ji and others to a banquet in Yongqiu.

And Deng Ji listened to Cao Peng's persuasion and discussed with Puyang Min, and was ready to leave for Haixi County.

Xiahou Yuan's invitation arrived, which made Deng Ji a little embarrassed.

At this time, he really didn't want to participate in any banquets. But I don't know how to refuse Xiahou Yuan.

It stands to reason that Xiahou Yuan gave him a small Haixi Order, which gave him enough face. But if he attends the banquet, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble.

To go, or not to go?

Deng Ji felt a little embarrassed......——————————————————————————————— the sky was about to be dark, and the lights were bright in the Yali of Yongqiu County.

The banquet had been arranged, Xiahou Yuan was dressed neatly, and sat in the hall, waiting for the arrival of Deng Ji and his party.

At the head of Xiahou Yuan were the accompanying generals and officials of Yongqiu County. The first row of banquets was empty, and there was no one in sight.

"Father, this Uncle Deng is also rude!"

A teenager sat down and said dissatisfied.

"Zhongquan, shut up."

Xiahou Yuan shouted sternly, and the young man immediately closed his mouth.

This young man is Xiahou Yuan's second son, named Xiahou Ba, sixteen years old.

Because Xiahou Yuan's eldest son, Xiahou Heng, has already married and can be regarded as self-reliant, Xiahou Ba has always followed Xiahou Yuan's side.

Listening to Xiahou Yuan's reprimand, although Xiahou Ba closed his mouth, he still pouted slightly.

To be honest, he doesn't have much affection for Deng Ji and others, and even says that there are some boring elements in it. The reason has to start with Cao Zhen and others marrying Jinlan in Xudu. Xiahou Ba has always been very proud of himself, and he is indeed capable, so he is a little proud. Among his peers, except for Cao Ang, no one else paid attention to it. Among them, even Cao Pi is included...... Originally, in Xudu, Xiahou Ba belonged to the kind of top-notch people.

But because of the worship of Cao Zhen and others, the name of Xiao Bayi spread rapidly, and he suddenly suppressed Xiahou Ba, and he was naturally not convinced.

In addition, this crusade against Lei Xu is also a dereliction of duty on the part of Xiahou Yuan.

No matter how long Xiahou Yuan has been in Chenliu, and no matter how long Lei Xu has been lurking in Chenliu, in short, Xiahou Yuan is not aware of it!

Counting the looted materials of Lei Xu and others, Xiahou Yuan was also a little surprised.

Only the one hundred and ten war horses are clearly from different places. Judging from the imprints on the horses, most of them are owned by the merchants who passed through Chen Liu. This also shows that Lei Xu has done a lot of big cases. And after doing so many things, Xiahou Yuan didn't even notice it, even if he broke the sky, Xiahou Yuan didn't make sense. This also made Xiahou Ba look at Deng Ji and the others, and it was even more unpleasant.

You said that you are good and decent, and you will go to Haixi to take up your post.

is just nosy, isn't it clear that he wants to slap his father and son in the face?

Therefore, when Xiahou Yuan decided to entertain Deng Ji and the others in Yongqiu, Xiahou Ba was a little unhappy.

And it's late today, so many people are waiting for Deng Ji's gang here, but Deng Ji hasn't appeared for a long time, and Xiahou Ba is a little unable to suppress the fire.

However, since Xiahou Yuan has spoken, Xiahou Ba has no choice.

But I have already made up my mind in my heart, when Deng Ji's gang comes over, I must find an excuse to humiliate them.

With this idea decided, Xiahou Ba was a lot easier.

So I chatted with a few generals around me without a word.

Time passed little by little, and it was getting later and later.

Xiahou Yuan and the others were also a little impatient, and just as they stood up and were about to go out, they heard a sergeant report outside the door: "General, there is Hu Hua, the head of Gaoyang Pavilion outside the palace, who said that he was sent a letter in the name of Haixi Order." ”

"Huh?"

Xiahou Yuan's face sank, and he immediately said, "Let him come in!" ”

"Father, Deng Ji, these people are really rude. You were kind enough to entertain them, but they let a Gaoyang Pavilion chief come over, what kind of reasoning is it? ”

"Zhongquan, you should keep your mouth shut."

Xiahou Yuan was also a little unhappy in his heart.

The angular face, which was like a knife and an axe, twitched slightly.

But he still suppressed his anger and stopped Xiahou Ba sharply.

After a while, a white-haired old man, holding a bamboo cane, walked into the mansion tremblingly.

When a pair of sharp eyes were rather on Hu Hua's body, Hu Hua couldn't help but tremble, and as soon as he entered the door, he fell to the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Hu Hua, the head of Gaoyang Pavilion, knock on General Xiahou." ”

Originally, Xiahou Yuan felt very uncomfortable.

Just like Xiahouba said, although you helped me pacify the bandits, you shouldn't be so arrogant.

He was about to have a seizure, but looking at Hu Hua's appearance, he swallowed back the reprimanding words on his lips.

"Pavilion Chief Hu, you get up first."

"Little old man obeys!"

After Hu Hua stood up, Xiahou Yuan looked him up and down.

"Pavilion Chief Hu, Deng Haixi, why didn't they come over?"

Hu Hua hurriedly said: "Deng Haixi said that they were going to Haixi, and the trip had been delayed. So before dark, I set out. ”

"What?"

Xiahou Yuan's eyes widened, "They're gone?" ”

"Yes!" Hu Hua said, taking out a pair of white silk from his arms, "Deng Haixi also entrusted the little official to give this letter to the general." ”

Xiahou Ba got up, strode over, and snatched the white silk from Hu Hua's hand.

"Zhao Keman, Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming......"

He read two sentences and couldn't help but be stunned.

"What is this?"

Xiahou Yuan frowned, stepped forward and took the white silk from Xiahou Ba's hand.

"Zhao Keman, Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star.

Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles. Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name. ”

This is a five-character poem, and it belongs to the five-character poem of Yuefu. The handwriting on the white silk looks a little dull. It's boxy, and it doesn't seem to be anything special. It's not good, it's not too bad, it's below average. However, this poem ...... "Idle over the letter to drink, take off the sword and kneel forward." will scorch Zhu Hai and persuade Hou Huan.

Three cups of Turannuo, Wuyue is light. After the eyes are dazzled and the ears are hot, the spirit is born.

Saving Zhao with the golden mallet, Handan was shocked first. Two strong men in Qianqiu, Xuanhe Daliang City.

The bones of the arson are fragrant, and he is not ashamed of the world. Who can write Your Excellency, the white head is too mystical. ”

Xiahou Yuan held the white silk and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The "Chivalrous Journey" on this white silk is undoubtedly from Cao Peng's hand.

Since the Han Dynasty, it has been an era when Ren Xia was popular. Whether it was Cao Ying or Xiahou Yuan, they were also fascinated by this when they were young.

Zhao Keman, Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuangxueming...... These two crosses reminded Xiahou Yuan of the scene when he was a ranger.

That kind of momentum, that kind of spirit, makes Xiahou Yuan think back to this day, it seems to be vivid and vivid.

And then 'kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles'.

It was Cao Peng who showed his heart to Xiahou Yuan: The reason why we intervened in this matter was not for fame and fortune, nor for wealth and nobility.

Shangyi, heavy, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, is undoubtedly an extremely noble quality.

Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but think of "Jinlan Spectrum": don't be tempted by fame and fortune, and don't be arrogant with talent.

At the beginning of Xiao Bayi, it was just for a common ideal, to help the world and calm the people. Now, Cao Peng and they are doing the same...... What is Chenliu?

That is, the 'big beam' of the year.

Back then, Zhu Hai and Hou Huan stole talismans to save Zhao and seize the Jin army, which was a model in the world.

In front of these two strong men, what is there to praise for these things we have done? Generosity becomes a suni, whistling in the breeze. We just hope to make a career, not like Yang Xiong who made "Taixuan Jing", how is it different from the community?

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

Xiahou Ba saw that Xiahou Yuan had not spoken, holding the white silk in a daze, and couldn't help but step forward and ask softly.

Xiahou Yuan suddenly laughed!

He let out a sigh, "But I was underestimated by the child!" ”

As he spoke, he asked, "Hu Hua, this poem, but Uncle Deng did it?" ”

"Uh...... Definitely! ”

"Who's that?"

"This Deng Haixi's wife and brother, written by Cao Peng."

"Cao Peng?"

Xiahou Ba turned his head and looked at Hu Hua, "Is it Cao Peng of Little Bayi?" ”

"Uh...... This little official doesn't know. However, Cao Gongzi called Gongzi Dian as the third brother and Xu Gongzi as the second brother, it should be it. ”

The name of the small eight meanings is limited to the circulation of Xu Du.

No matter what the background of Cao Zhen and these people is, after all, the age is there.

So, many people think it's just a teenager's doing. Even the title of Xiao Bayi is more of a bit ridiculous.

Hu Hua has never been out of Chen Liu in his life.

The farthest is to Yongqiu, to Yuanxian, how do you know the meaning of 'Little Bayi'?

"Father, I'll chase them back and question them again."

"Blame what?"

Xiahou Yuan's eyes widened, "I know that I am competitive and competitive, and I don't know how to study hard." Let's look at others, they are younger than you, but this insight and mind are not comparable to you. What Deng Haixi said is true, he is on official business, but it is meaningless to stay here.

Passing on my orders, the affairs of Lei Xu and others are kept secret for the time being...... Yongqiu Order! ”

"Whoa!"

"You can claim to the outside world that you found a gang of thieves in Lutaigang, so you sent troops to pacify it."

Xiahou Yuan, who is that?

From Cao Peng's letter, he vaguely guessed a bit of the truth.

I'm afraid, this Lei Xu ...... It's not that simple!

Turning his head to see Xiahou Ba with a blank face, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help frowning, and thought to himself: Zhong Quan said that he would follow me in the army, although he practiced good martial arts and knew how to train soldiers, but he seemed to be missing a little experience. At his age, it's a good time to study. If he stays by my side, I'm afraid it will delay his future...... Why don't you find a teacher for him?

Together, this thought can no longer be erased.

It's just that Xiahou Yuan couldn't think of a suitable candidate all of a sudden, and once again fell into contemplation.

"Father...... What happened to you? ”

Xiahouba is also a little strange, why is his father so easily distracted today?

Xiahou Yuan came to his senses and smiled dumbly.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he picked up the white silk again and read it carefully.

"Someone!"

"In!"

A soldier walked in from outside the house.

Xiahou Yuan said with a smile: "Go and bring my horse Zhaoyebai, and immediately catch up with Deng Haixi, and give it to Deng Haixi's wife and brother, Cao Peng." Tell Deng Haixi what he means, I already understand. Please rest assured. Just do things, I should stay in Chen and look at his great talent. ”

When Xiahou Ba heard this, his eyes widened suddenly......

(To be continued)
