Puyang, Cao Peng knew, it was a place name.

But is there the surname Puyang in the surname? Cao Peng really doesn't know. He knew compound surnames such as Nangong, Ximen, Dongfang, and Sima, but it was the first time he had heard of Puyang. But when you think about it, it seems normal. In these years, many surnames are based on place names...... Could it be that the ancestors of this Puyang Min once lived in Puyang? That's why you have the surname Puyang?

One thing Cao Peng is sure of is that Puyang Min is definitely not a character in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Otherwise, with such a trendy surname, even if it is a trick, Cao Peng will be more or less impressed...... In fact, Cao Peng still has some bias towards Deng Zhi in his heart. After all, he is a person who has proven his talent in history. But Cao Peng was a little worried, would Deng Zhi come? Even if Deng Zhi came over, would he obey Deng Ji's orders? In terms of talent, Deng Ji may not be higher than Deng Zhi; In terms of the family, Deng Zhi is also the protégé of Liu Xiang, the former Jiangxia Taishou, and he is much stronger than Deng Ji.

Is a person with a good background and superb talents willing to succumb to Deng Ji's account? This is still an unknown.

Of course, maybe Deng Zhi will be willing to help because of the affection of the two families. But to what extent can it help? It doesn't seem to be easy to say.

In history, Deng Zhi was unknown in his early days.

It seems that it was after the White Emperor City that it made a grand debut and was reused by Zhuge Liang.

Will Deng Zhi at this time be the same as the Deng Zhi in history? This is also a question that Cao Peng is not sure of...... But overall, Cao Peng is still inclined to Deng Zhi.

However, Guo Jia recommended Puyang Min, which shows that this person is also extraordinary.

In terms of Guo Jia's extremely talented and extremely proud surname, since he recommended Puyang Min so much, it was by no means untargeted.

In other words, Puyang Min may be the most suitable helper for Deng Ji at present.

As for what reputation?

Cao Peng really didn't care too much.

In these days, survival comes first.

Puyang Min steals chickens or thieves, as long as he has real skills, it is worth using.

At least, with Deng Ji's current situation, it seems that he is not qualified to pick others. Since the Han Dynasty, the monarch chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the monarch...... Maybe Puyang Min may not be able to look down on Deng Ji, and the reason why he nodded is because of Guo Jia or Xun Yu's face.

If Deng Zhi refuses to come, or refuses to serve, Pu Yang Min is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

"Brother-in-law, since it is recommended by Guo Saijiu, it must have been after some examination. I don't think you need to think too much about it, you might as well recruit this person first. If he does have the ability, you also have one more helper; If his virtue is really too bad, you will have something to say at that time. didn't even see anyone, so he refused to go out, maybe he offended others in vain, and it would make Guo Saijiu look bad. ”

The fatal shot in his previous life made Cao Peng's surname more sleek.

It is easy to make a decision, but after making a decision, he must also think carefully about what the consequences will be, so as not to encounter danger.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world he lived in was different from that of his previous life.

In the previous life, it was also a society governed by the rule of law, whether it was the real rule of law or the fake rule of law, there was always such a pretense hanging on it.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to put it bluntly, it was still a society governed by man.

God knows when someone will rise, and if they do, it will be doomed.

Deng Ji pondered for a moment and felt that what Cao Peng said made sense.

"Then I'll go and talk to Bonghyo and agree with his people?"

"Brother-in-law, who do you think you are?" Cao Peng's tone suddenly became stern.

Deng Ji was stunned, and for no reason in his heart, he ...... tightly, "It's not that people want to help you, but for the sake of Guo Saijiu's face, they agree to help you." You are now just a county magistrate of 400 stones, to tell the truth, you haven't even laid a foundation yet, what kind of frame are you holding? Don't you know the story of a daughter buying a horse bone? Even if this Puyang Min's virtue is not good, people also have real skills, how can you be called to come and go immediately? ”

In a word, Deng Ji said that his face was red and his ears were red.

Since that day Guo Jia told Deng Ji that he would be appointed as the Haixi Commander, Deng Ji was indeed a little fluttering!

However, it is also understandable that a small official in Thorn Yang suddenly became the head of a county, and this change in identity can easily make people conceited, even proud, and even become inflated. Cao Peng has always wanted to find an opportunity to wake up Deng Ji, but there is no suitable time. Deng Ji's words just now also clearly showed the extreme expansion in his heart.

"Why does Guo Saijiu want to help you?

Brother-in-law, it's not just because you and he have that shitty friendship. In the world, there are as many people as few people who cultivate small Dulu. There are countless people who repair Guo's small Du Law. Could it be that all the people who study Xiao Dulu are the same disciples of Guo Saijiu? Guo Saijiu values you because of your humility, your tenacity, and your surname...... But look at you, is it still the same person you used to be? ”

Cao Peng's voice was full of expression, and Deng Ji broke out in a cold sweat when he said it.

Zhang, who was talking to his daughter in the house, also heard the quarrel in the yard.

She helped Cao Nan out and shouted, "Ah Fu, how can you talk to your brother-in-law?" ”

Cao Peng snorted, flicked his sleeves and left.

Zhang wanted to reprimand Cao Peng, but was stopped by Cao Nan.

"Mother, don't blame Ah Fu...... What he said just now was for the good of his uncle and grandson. These days, the uncle and grandson are a little carried away! I think what Ah Fu said makes sense. The uncle and grandson have not yet achieved their careers, and such a gaffe will not benefit him in the future. ”

Then, Cao Nan said to Deng Ji: "Uncle grandson, think about it yourself, don't be obsessed anymore." ”

Cao Nan and Zhang, return to the house.

Deng Ji's heart was pounding, and it took him a long time to calm down.

He was a little annoyed and angry, feeling that Cao Peng didn't give him face. However, when he saw the sleeping little Deng Ai in the cradle, he was suddenly shocked again!

Now that I am a father, how can I be so unserious?

Ah Fu is right, I am indeed not myself these days...... He closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down. The wind swept by, rolled up his empty sleeves, brushed his face, and cold sweat ran down.

What qualifications do I have to be conceited?

Deng Ji is an understanding person, and he can also introspect.

It's just that when people are proud, they will always be a little difficult to grasp.

Deng Ji suddenly felt lucky, glad that he had a very powerful wife and brother. If it weren't for Ah Fu waking up, I'm afraid I would continue to make mistakes.

"Xiao Ai, Daddy is a fool, right?"

He stroked Deng Ai's cheek, and the shame and anger on his face gradually faded.

"Come on, take the young master back to the room."

Deng Ji suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

A servant girl hurriedly ran over and carried Deng Ai back to the room. And Deng Ji walked out quickly. Cao Nan stood under the window, looking at Deng Ji's back, and a smile suddenly flashed on his sweet cheeks. She took Deng Ai from the handmaiden, turned her head to Zhang, and said, "Mother, look...... Uncle and grandson figured it out! I think it's a good choice to let Ah Fu go to Haixi with him. ”

"However, Peng'er is still young......"

"Mother, do you see that when Ah Fu reprimanded his uncle and grandson just now, he looked like a child?"

Zhang was speechless for a moment.

That's right, when Cao Peng reprimanded Deng Ji, even Zhang felt a little scared.

The child was usually breezy and calm, as if he didn't care about anything, and always looked like a little smiling person. But the Zhang family knew that Cao Peng had killed people. If this kid is really annoyed, he dares to do anything, and he is a very creative little guy...... I always feel that he is young, but unconsciously, this child has his own world.

I heard that he and Cao Gong's clan worshipped, and there were those who called Xu Yi brothers...... At the age of fourteen, Cao Ji was still an apprentice who knew nothing. And Cao Peng has already held up a piece of the world in this family. Who can underestimate him?

The corners of the eyes, a little moist.

The emaciated child who lingered on the sickbed last year has now grown up!

Thinking of this, Zhang couldn't help but smile. Nodding, he said softly, "Yes, Peng'er has grown up......"

—————————————————————————————— Deng Fan was holding the stone lock, snorting and snorting.

Wang Mai held an ash rod in his hand and connected with the kung fu of shaking the gun. Cao Peng sat on the blue stone steps on the side, looking at the two of them.

"Tiger head, not with brute force, but with the strength of the waist and hips, the joints."

He couldn't help but correct Wang Mai and Deng Fan's mistakes, and his voice was extremely stern.

Behind him, footsteps were heard.

Cao Peng didn't look back.

Deng Ji sat down beside him, stretched out his hand, and rubbed Cao Peng's head.

"Ah Fu, are you still angry?"

"Nope!"

"Well, I admit, I was wrong!" Deng Ji sighed and said softly: "I know, I've been a little carried away these days, in your words, I just think of myself as a character...... I'm glad you woke me up! Actually, I'm nothing now. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to go to Feng Xiao and ask where Puyang Min lives.

Take advantage of the time before going to Haixi, please ask Mr. Puyang to come over. You're right, I'm really not qualified to pick and choose. ”

"Then I won't go with you!"

"Good!"

"Be sincere."

"I see."

"Also, I would like to thank Guo for the wine. People have helped you so much, and they are not obligated to do so. ”

Deng Ji is used to Cao Peng's mouth popping up one or two new terms from time to time, so it's not strange. He nodded and whispered, "I see!" ”

"Then do you promise to go to Haixi?"

Deng Ji smiled, "As long as my mother agrees, I have no opinion." ”

With such a person by his side who can mention what he lacks at any time, how can Deng Ji refuse?

Cao Peng immediately smiled......———————————————————————————————— after Deng Ji visited Guo Jia, early the next morning, he took Xiahoulan and set off for Waihuang County.

Waihuang is located in the northeast of Xudu, and it takes at least four or five days to go back and forth. Fortunately, the Cao family is not in the same predicament as it was at the beginning, and they can bring their own cars and horses. Xia Houlan accompanied several heroes from Tufu Mountain and was responsible for protecting Deng Ji's safety. As for Cao Peng, he is leisurely, practicing martial arts and reading at home every day, and occasionally going to the Huichun Hall to see how Dong Xiao treats others...... Dong Xiao will not go to Haixi County with him.

He had to stay in Xudu to condition Guo Jia's body.

Guo Jia's physical condition is not very good because of taking Wushi San.

Fortunately, the time he took it was not too long, and Dong Xiao found it in time, so he broke the five stone scatters and recuperated his physical condition at the same time.

After all, he is a famous doctor's protégé, Dong Xiao's medical skills are not bad, and Guo Jia obviously feels that his spirit has improved greatly.

Therefore, Guo Jia will not let Dong Xiao go.

He originally wanted to help Dong Xiao open a medical clinic in Xudu City and stabilize it first.

Then wait for the right opportunity to recommend Dong Xiao to Cao Ying...... Dong Xiao refused! At his age, it's not easy to be a hall doctor. His age and lack of experience make it hard to believe in his medical skills. Even if he opened a medical center, no one would necessarily be willing to let him come for treatment. People often say: there is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm. Dong Xiao's current situation is only a traditional Chinese medicine, not an 'old' Chinese medicine.

Therefore, Dong Xiao chose to return to the Spring Hall.

Although the Rejuvenation Hall is mainly based on gynecology, Xiao Kun's reputation and qualifications are placed there.

When the time comes, Xiao Kun will open a case for him, and others will not care too much. Having an 'old' TCM practitioner in place is always reassuring.

Moreover, Dong Xiao now has other interests.

Since Cao Peng asked him to use moxibustion that day, Dong Xiao has developed a strong interest in wormwood.

Well, this wormwood can cure diseases! But how many diseases can be cured? In addition, there are many herbs that will also have this effect.

For this reason, he also wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Zhang Zhongjing in Nieyang for advice.

Dong Xiao's biggest interest now is the imaginary book "The Book of Hundred Herbs" in Cao Peng's mouth. He needs to read a large number of medical books, and Xu is the capital of the Son of Heaven, and there are many families with countless books...... Dong Xiao only asked Guo Jia to find a unique book and a rare book for him.

Rejuvenation Hall's business is quite good.

Due to Dong Xiao's arrival, the scope of diagnosis and treatment in the Rejuvenation Hall has increased a lot.

Xiao Kun is still in charge of the incurable gynecological diseases he is good at, and other things are handed over to Dong Xiaolai to be in charge, and the two complement each other well.

Cao Peng just wanted to learn some simple medical skills to deal with headaches and brain fever.

When you get to Haixi, who knows what trouble you will encounter?

People who eat whole grains will always get sick. Isn't there still a saying in medicine that 'water and soil are not adapted'? Haixi is different from Xu Duke.

On this day, Cao Peng stayed in the Rejuvenation Hall for an hour, and then left in a hurry.

There was an autumn rain last night, and the weather suddenly turned cooler.

Many people have suffered from minor illnesses, so that in the Rejuvenation Hall, business is prosperous. Dong Xiao didn't have time to greet Cao Peng, Cao Peng was alone inside, and he felt very bored. Looking at the time, it was almost lunch...... Cao Peng thought about it, looking for Dian Man Xu Yi to eat.

"Front, but the son of the Cao family?"

Behind him, someone suddenly called, Cao Peng was stunned, stopped and turned his head to look.

But he saw a young man of some age similar to him, dressed in a moon-white Zen robe and wearing a jade belt around his waist, who was standing on the street and beckoning to him.

"You ......"

Cao Peng felt that the young man in front of him seemed to be a little familiar.

But at this time, I can't remember the origin of the other party.

The young man smiled, "Young Master Cao, have you forgotten?" We've seen it in the dog fighting hall before, and you gave me a good knife! ”

"Ahh

"Under Liu Guang, last time because he was in a hurry, he couldn't make love. I've always wanted to visit you, but I'm worried that I'm going to be presumptuous and causing you trouble......"

Cao Peng remembered.

The young man in front of him is the younger brother of the Han Emperor, Liu Guang, Marquis of Linyi, and his nickname is 'Han Family Dog'.

"Linyi Hou!"

"Haha, you remember...... However, on this street, call me Liu Guang. ”

"This ......"

"What? Look down on me? ”

Cao Peng shook his head again and again, "How dare you, ...... You're serious! ”

"I heard, you moved out of the pawn?"

"Hah, exactly."

"Then if you have time, you must come to visit."

Cao Peng smiled: "It's an honor to be here...... Liu...... Childe, where is this going? ”

"Well, I just finished a gambling fight with someone and was about to go to dinner. How, let's do it together? ”

Cao Peng looked embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I don't know how to lift, but I have already made an agreement with my second brother before." ”

Liu Guang seemed a little lost, but then smiled again.

"That's a pity...... It's better to change the word. ”

"Well, in a few moments, I may have to go with my brother-in-law."

"Where is Mr. Deng going?"

"It's not very clear about this, but I've heard that it's going to be released. Exactly where it will be, it has not yet been determined. ”

Deng Ji's appearance is not a secret, and if someone really wants to inquire, it will not be too difficult.

Liu Guang said with envy: "The son can go around, it's really enviable......"

As a member of the Han family and a confidant of the Han Emperor, it was not an easy thing for him to leave Xudu. Even if he is in a very powerful position, he is still a teenager after all, and he is always full of curiosity about the outside world.

"Since Childe still has something to do, then I won't delay.

If we have the chance, let's have a good time......"

Cao Peng hurriedly agreed: "Definitely, definitely!" ”

In my heart, there is still something strange.

What does this Liu Guang mean by saying this to himself for no reason?

He has no ill feelings towards Liu Guang, and he has no ambition for the Han family. It's just that Cao Peng knows that Cao Ying will inevitably clash with the Han family in the future.

Now that he has decided to belong to Cao Ying, it is best to draw a clear line with the Han family.

It's just that looking at the faint loneliness in Liu Guang's eyes, Cao Peng felt a little unbearable...... This is still a child!

Cao Peng is not very old, but the soul in this body is already Chengren.

No matter what others think of Liu Guang, whether it is the Han family dog or the Marquis of Linyi, but in Cao Peng's eyes, he is still a teenager who has not grown up after all.

Being within the walls of the palace full of crises will inevitably make people think that he is young and old, and he has a deep mind.

But if in the later life, at his age, he should be the happiest, carefree flower season...... "Linyi Hou, next time we will fight dogs." ”

Liu Guang had already turned around and was about to leave.

Hearing Cao Peng's sudden words, he couldn't help but be stunned, turned around in astonishment, and looked at Cao Peng...... Cao Peng's smile is extraordinarily bright!

Liu Guang's heart warmed, and he couldn't help but laugh!

"Fighting dogs, you can't."

"If you don't give it a try, how can you know?"

Liu Guang smiled: "Okay, I'm waiting for your challenge...... Let me tell you first, I am now the number one master in Xudu City. ”

"Then I'll talk about winning."

Cao Peng said that, he and Liu Guang bowed their hands, and turned to leave.

On Liu Guang's face, the smile was also extraordinarily bright.

He watched Cao Peng's figure gradually fade away, took a deep breath, regained his calm color, and strode towards the restaurant......——————————————
