The second is even more served!

On the last day on the new book list, Lao Xin was cheeky and continued to ask for recommendations and collections......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The old estuary is located in the southwest of Wancheng.

It is about forty miles away from Sunset and about ten miles away from Wancheng. Standing on a high place, you can see the flags in the direction of Wancheng.

Wei Yan and Cao Peng stood in the river bay, looking around.

According to Wei Yan, there should be a ferry here. But after looking for a long time, I didn't see a shadow of a ferry......

"Why don't you have a ship?" Cao Peng asked with a puzzled expression.

Wei Yan scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I know? There used to be a lot of ferries here, and I remember the last time I passed by here, there were three ferries parked here. ”

"Uh, when was the last time you were here?"

Wei Yan thought for a while and replied very solemnly: "Two years ago! ”

I'll kill you!

Two years ago, you passed by a lot of ferries here, but now it's two years later, and Cao Ying and Zhang Xiu are fighting each other, how can there be a ferry?

"Brother Wei, apart from here, where else is there a ferry?"

"To the east, about three or five miles away, there is a Gaoqiu Pavilion, which is said to have been built during the Qin Dynasty, but it has now been abandoned. The water is soothing and the river is narrow. But now in early spring, the snow and ice have melted, so I don't know if the river has skyrocketed. ”

Cao Peng smiled bitterly, "Then let's go over and have a look." ”

It was the dawn of about ten o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was very warm, shining on people's bodies, and it was also very comfortable.

The wind of early spring, although a little chilly, is soft, like a girl's slender jade fingers, blowing from her face. Cao Peng led the horse and walked side by side with Wei Yan. The tragic killing the night before, neither of them mentioned it again. But both he and Wei Yan knew that everything that happened that night was deeply rooted in their memories. Unless one day you can take revenge, you can never forget it......

That hatred is unforgettable!

"Ah Fu, what are you going to do when you go back this time?"

"If there's nothing going on at home, we'll go to Tufu Mountain." Cao Peng exhaled a mouthful of turbid air vigorously, as if he wanted to exhale all the depression in his chest. He was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "The father of the tiger head once did a business without capital. He has some old brothers who are begging for a living in Fuyang, and we may settle down there first, and then plan slowly for the future. ”

A business without a foundation is actually a bandit.

A strange smile appeared on Wei Yan's face, and he said softly, "Are you a thief?" ”

"Hmm!"

"Those people are a group of good men, although I haven't been in contact with them, but they have a good reputation in the local area. I didn't expect Tiger Head to have this kind of secret...... His father, the status back then should not be too low. If that's the case, then it's a good place to go. Wei Yan said, his face straightened, and he lowered his voice and asked, "But I don't understand, why don't you want to vote for Cao Gong?" It's better than being a bandit. ”

"Tou Cao Gong...... Look at me, I have no power to tie the chicken, and the book is only "Poems" and "Treatises", why should I gain a foothold under Cao Gong's account? Moreover, even if I go now, I don't have anyone to recommend. If you go, you may not be taken seriously. Rather than this, it is better to go back and slowly accumulate strength. ”

This word origin is really important!

Didn't Cao Peng think about recruiting Wei Yan? Of course I thought about it! But he knew that he didn't have that capital, and he didn't have that strength. In this year, birth and fame are two important factors in the world. Of course, in addition, with some skills, you can make a career. Not to mention anything else, before Liu Bei got the name of 'Uncle Liu Huang', there were only thousands of soldiers under his command, and he would not be able to pass Zhang, and the strategists were none other than Sun Qian and Jian Yong. Even Guan Zhang is together because he has a brotherly relationship with him. As for Sun Qianjian Yong, they are all the rest...... was able to gain a foothold in Xuzhou because of his marriage with a local wealthy family.

It's been drifting all the time......

It wasn't until he got the title of 'Uncle Liu Huang' that he began to form a team.

Don't you see, even Liu Pigong of the Yellow Turban Thief came over to meet him? The reason for this is precisely because of his 'Uncle Liu Huang' background.

Cao Peng is now, and he can't even compare to Uncle Liu Huang, who has not made a career, why should he recruit others?

People are self-aware!

Cao Peng did a good job at this. Since he met Wei Yan, he has used all kinds of small means to get closer to him. As for the aftermath...... We'll talk about it later.

He doesn't have the qualifications to talk about the future now.

After Wei Yan heard Cao Peng's words, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In his heart, he is in a much better situation than Cao Peng. At least he has a skill, and he can be regarded as a general. But the problem is that, in addition, he and Cao Peng's situation is extremely similar. The same humble origin, the same no name. What can you do if you rush to Cao Ying's account like this? It's great to start with a captain, or even a chief, and climb up step by step.

My own surname is clear!

Wei Yan has been a soldier for six years, and his exploits are inexhaustible, and the highest is only to be a general.

Even if Cao Ying has the wisdom to understand people, it is estimated that it will take five or six years for him to enter Cao Ying's field of vision.

In another five or six years, if you are two years old, you will soon be in the age of establishment!

There is no one to refer you, and sometimes it is a real headache. But how easy is it to find the person who introduced him?

Thinking of this, Wei Yan couldn't help but glance at Cao Peng.

In the bright sunshine, Cao Peng's thin face still has a bit of youthful childishness. However, the clear eyes revealed a very calm and capable temperament.

In fact, what Ah Fu said is quite reasonable.

He is so good at the overall situation, and he has a strong sense of observation of world affairs.

If nothing else, it will definitely be able to get ahead in the future...... Why don't you join him and make some fame first?

This thought flashed in Wei Yan's mind, and he immediately shook his head in denial.

My situation with Ah Fu is different, I have passed the double decade, if I don't rise up, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve in the future; And Ah Fu is still young, he has enough time and reason to grow and accumulate strength. If I only want to be attached now, I am afraid that I will not be able to sit at the same table with him in the future.

Everyone has their own dreams!

Wei Yan is the same.

Moreover, he was proud of his surname, and could not tolerate himself to rely on a child who was weaker than himself. If this was the case, he wouldn't have paid attention to Yiyang's martial arts back then, and went directly to Wenpin. No matter how bad it is, now it can be the seat of the county Cao......

The two of them had their own hearts and minds, and they didn't talk again along the way.

Suddenly, Wei Yan stopped, stretched out his hand and grabbed Cao Peng's arm.

"Brother Wei, why is this?"

"Listen!"

Wei Yan's face was solemn, and he looked like he was listening.

Cao Peng hurriedly listened to himself, faintly, only to hear the sound of people shouting and neighing in the distance. From time to time, there was also a series of screams, wrapped in the wind, and passed into Cao Peng's ears.

There is a war ahead?

Cao Peng turned his head to look at Wei Yan, but saw Wei Yan take two steps closely, crawling on the ground, and put his ears on the ground.

"There's a cavalry coming this way."

"How many are there?"

"At least thirty or forty rides."

Cao Peng gasped and hurriedly looked around.

"Brother Wei, hurry into the forest."

As he spoke, he led his horse to a wooded field not far away. A thought flashed through my mind: the battle of Wan! Zhang Xiu's counterattack!

It must be like this, it must be Cao Ying who Lao Zhang's aunt and annoyed Zhang Xiu.

No, didn't you say that Lao Zhang's counterattack was at night? In broad daylight, why did they openly fight back?

Cao Peng thought as he ran into the forest.

Wei Yan also followed, and after the two entered the woods, Wei Yan looked around, "Ah Fu, are we going to hide here?" ”

Cao Peng glanced at the war horse beside him, suddenly gritted his teeth, and slapped the horse's ass hard.

The horses were frightened and immediately scattered their hooves and ran north.

Wei Yan shouted in shock: "Ah Fu, what are you doing? ”

"Up the tree, let's go up the tree!"

"Huh?"

"Stand tall and see far. No matter who is fighting, they will definitely not pay attention to it! Let's hide it first, and then observe it secretly. ”

Wei Yan thought about it, what Cao Peng said was right!

So he no longer hesitated, hung the dragon bird behind his back, used his hands and feet together, and quickly climbed to a tree. Cao Peng is more relaxed! Don't look at his skinny body, but he can climb high and low and be half a point stronger than Wei Yan. After climbing to the tree, Cao Peng stretched out his hand to wipe his body, but found that he did not have a weapon to defend himself. His Hanhuan knife was lost as early as when Sunset was knocked unconscious by Wei Yan.

"Brother Wei, do you have any weapons?"

Wei Yan was not too far away from him, and after hearing this, he immediately took out a short sword from his waist.

About forty centimeters long, the sword and stem are forged in one piece, and a layer of coarse cloth is wrapped around the handle of black lacquered jujube wood, but there is no handguard papaya.

This was a cavalry sword that the cavalry carried with him, and for Wei Yan, the purpose of decoration was greater than the role of battle.

He raised his hand towards Cao Peng, and then threw it high. Cao Peng sat on a thigh-thick branch, reached out to catch the short sword, thrust it into his waist, and immediately stood up and hid behind the thick trunk. Since the harsh winter has just left and the early spring has arrived, there are no leaves on the trees. Fortunately, these big trees have constant growth rings, and the branches are luxuriant, and the main trunk is thick. Hiding in it, if you look from outside the forest, it is difficult to find Cao Peng's figure.

Wei Yan saw Cao Peng's actions, and he also did the same, hiding and hiding.

As soon as the two of them hid, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the rumbling hooves, like muffled thunder, reached Cao Peng's ears.

Cao Peng, staring at ......
