Chapter 236: Great Origins

The old woman's surname is Wu, Chen Liuren, and she is over sixty years old.

From her speech and demeanor, it can be seen that this old woman surnamed Wu seems to be well-educated. Although he has gray hair and his face is covered with furrows, he can still feel the charm of his youth. However, Cao Xing did not say what the identity of this old woman was.

Since they are on the same road, Cao Peng is not easy to refute.

From his heart, it is always good for him to get to know more people from the Cao clan.

Especially at present, Cao Peng still belongs to the body of sin. Although Comrade Cao did not punish him, Cao Peng could feel that Cao Ying was a little dissatisfied with him. The Nong Du Lieutenant, who was originally in his hands, ran away again...... Although it ended up in the hands of his family, that feeling was a little uncomfortable after all. Therefore, Cao Peng also needs to redeem his disadvantages in front of Comrade Cao.

"In Xia Xiahuen!"

A young man stepped forward and greeted Cao Peng.

Cao Xing said: "Ziyu is a soldier in this county, and he is responsible for taking care of the old lady along the way. It just so happened that Cao Duwei was going to go, so the surname Suo would go along...... Ziyu, along the way, you must obey Cao Duwei's assignment. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me for going back to your trouble. ”

The young man hurriedly responded, with a respectful expression.

However, from his eyes, Cao Peng still saw a touch of disdain.

Xia Houen, this name is so familiar!

When Cao Peng got on the horse, he remembered the origin of this Xia Houen. Isn't this the sword-wielding officer of Cao Ying in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

According to the romance records, Cao Ying had two swords, one Qinghong and one Yitian.

According to Cao Ying's statement, relying on heaven to show grace, Qinghong is mighty. The Heavenly Sword was worn by Cao Ying, and the Qinghong Sword was handed over to Xia Houen for safekeeping.

As a result, when Changban Slope was in Changban, Xia Houen died under Zhao Yun's gun, and the Qinghong Sword also fell into Zhao Yun's hands.

Cao Peng couldn't help but glance back at Xia Houen in surprise, and said in his heart: It turned out to be the short-lived ghost!

As long as he doesn't cause trouble, Cao Peng doesn't bother to compete with Xia Houen. Anyway, with that Mrs. Wu here, he can't make any trouble if he thinks about it.

It is said that this Xiahou En is a member of the Xiahou clan.

Now that the Xiahou clan has come to escort her, the origin of this old lady is not simple!

The old lady and Cao Peng exchanged a few polite words, and then hung up the curtain.

"General Ziyu, please protect the Chinese army, I will bring my own carriage and horses to open the way."

The corners of Xia Houen's mouth twitched, "Now that Lu Bu has been removed, from Qiaoxian to Xudu, the road is peaceful." Even some thieves can't afford it. ”

The implication is to say: What are you pretending to be, if it is peaceful today, who are you scaring about?

Cao Peng smiled, but when he turned around, his face sank.

This thing is a thing that doesn't know whether to live or die. Runan bandits are rampant, and in the past, the remnants of Taiping Road were rampant, and they were especially unable to calm down with their full favor ability, which is enough to show that those bandits are unusual. Others don't know, but Cao Peng at least knows that there are two bandits in Runan, Liu Pi and Gongdu, both of whom are not good...... Forget it, he doesn't mess with me! He tossed as much as he wanted...... No wonder Changbanpo died at the hands of Zhao Yun, he was a guy who didn't know what to do.

Thinking of this, Cao Peng didn't bother to communicate with Na Xia Houen, so he took Gan Ning and urged the horse to his chariot.

"Ah Fu, what's wrong?"

Huang Yueying poked her head out and asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, it's just that I ran into something that doesn't know whether it's alive or dead...... Let's hit the road. ”

With Cao Peng's order, the car slowly drove up.

Cao Peng had 300 men, Xiahouen had 300 men, and Xiahouzhen also had nearly 100 people with him. If you count those coachmen and miscellaneous servants, it adds up to nearly a thousand people. Large and small car battles, more than dozens. Connected to the avenue, it formed a long line.

"Captain Cao!"

Behind him, I heard someone shouting.

Cao Peng turned his head to look and saw a young man, urging him forward.

"You ......"

Cao Peng felt that this young man was a little familiar.

The young man smiled: "Cao Duwei forgot a certain family...... When I was in the second year of Jian'an, I talked with Du Wei outside the gate of Huben Mansion. ”

I can't remember it!

"My name is Cao Yang, and the word comes from the east."

"Oh......"

I'm a little impressed.

Cao Peng went to find Dian Wei that day, so why did things happen? It seems to be the second day after Yuxiulou and Chen Dengzhao met. It happened to be Mrs. Huan going out that day, and at that time, Xiahou Zhen also followed Mrs. Huan, accidentally walked her white rabbit and ran to Cao Peng.

This Cao Yang had asked about Cao Peng's origin at that time, and then left.

"Brother Donglai, what's the matter?"

"Miss Zhen wants me to inform the lieutenant, and Hugh wants to be as knowledgeable as Ziyu.

Ziyu is this surname, don't take it to heart. ”

"Oh, what happened to me."

Cao Peng looked indifferent, but he muttered in his heart: Don't make trouble for me, otherwise don't say that his surname is Xiahou, even if his surname is Cao, Lao Tzu will not give him face.

"Along the way, please take more trouble with Captain Cao."

"Brother Donglai is polite."

Cao Peng and Cao Yang, after a few polite sentences on the horse, parted ways.

Cao Yang returned to Xiahou Zhen and Mrs. Wu's convoy, while Cao Peng protected the chariot and marched in front.

"Ah Fu, Xiaohuan inquired yesterday, this Xiahou Zhen is Xiahou Yuan's niece."

"I know."

"I heard that Xiahou Yuan still likes her quite much, and he has always taken care of her.

Do you know the relationship between Mrs. Huan and Xiahou Yuan? ”

This woman is born gossipy.

Even Huang Yueying doesn't seem to be exempt from vulgarity.

Cao Peng smiled: "What relationship? ”

"Xiahou Yuan's wife is Mrs. Huan's sister."

"Huh?"

"Two years ago, Xiahou Zhen's mother passed away, and Mrs. Huan sent her back."

"I see."

Cao Peng suddenly felt in his heart: It turned out that Mrs. Huan and Xiahou Zhen still had such a relationship.

Speaking of Mrs. Huan, Cao Peng couldn't help but think of Cao Chong. It's a pity that the child hung up at a young age. However, the history books record that he is very smart, and I don't know if it is as the legend says. But thinking about it again, Cao Chong seems to have just turned three years old this year, how smart can he be?

"Yueying, when you arrive in Xudu, A-Niang will be very happy to see you."

Huang Yueying's face turned red, and she said softly: "I hope that Aunt De will not blame my cousin......"

Yellow shot?

Cao Peng sneered in his heart.

This account will have to be settled sooner or later.

However, he promised Huang Yueying that he would not trouble Huang Yueying in the future...... But Cao Peng doesn't look for it, it doesn't mean that he won't let others find it.

You must know that there is a grudge against Huang Jie, but I don't know that Cao Peng is alone.

If you want to talk about hatred, I'm afraid Wei Yan is the person who hates pornography the most. Wei Yan is doing well now, he is already Sima of Nanyang County, and he also attaches great importance to Wei Yan. At that time, even if he didn't come forward, with Wei Yan's surname that would be repaid, how could he let go of the yellow shot?

With a strong breath, Cao Peng smiled: "Don't worry, A-Niang will never blame you...... Look, doesn't my sister like you too? ”

Huang Yueying heard this and laughed!

After β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” out of Qian County, he traveled all the way to the west.

By the evening, the crowd had already passed through Laixiang.

Further on, it is Ningping County (now Dancheng, Henan). According to Cao Peng's meaning, you can rush to the night road, so that after midnight, you can arrive in Ningping.

But as soon as it got dark, Xia Houen sent someone over and told Cao Peng that he was going to camp on the spot.

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

Let Gan Ning and the others wait in place, and he went to the Chinese army.

"General Ziyu, why did you stop?"

"Don't you see, it's already dark."

"General Ziyu, there is no village in front of here, and there is no shop in the back. Now, although Yuzhou is gradually becoming peaceful, but the bandits in Runan are raging, and it is not far from Runan. Dare to stay here in case ......"

"How can there be so many whatevers?"

Xia Houen said with an impatient expression: "Even if there is a thief who doesn't have long eyes, with my crotch dismounting and shooting in the palm of my hand, I can kill them one by one." Cao Duwei, you have also experienced the battle of Xiapi, why only have this guts? It's a loss of face. ”

Cao Peng's face sank suddenly.

"General Ziyu, I am kind enough to persuade you, but for the sake of the safety of the old lady and Miss Zhen.

If you feel tired, you can rest here. At the time of departure, Cao County ordered that this trip should be dispatched by me. In case the old lady goes on a business trip, can you and I afford it? ”

When Xia Houen heard this, he sneered, "Uncle Wendu just said it casually, do you really think you are a captain?" You want to command your men and horses, and look at my men, but I am willing to do at your disposal. Cao Peng, to give you face, I will call you a captain, if you make trouble again, don't blame me for being polite. ”

Cao Peng has never had a good impression of this kind of rich boy.

"I want to meet the old lady!"

"You ......"

At this moment, Cao Yang urged the horse over.

"What happened? The old lady sent me to ask why it was so noisy. ”

"It's okay......"

"Something!"

Cao Peng snorted, glared at Xia Houen and said, "If you want to die, no one will stop you, don't make the old lady frightened." ”

"You're so daring."

Cao Peng laughed angrily: "How dare I be...... Lao Tzu killed more than 100 people in Quyang, relying on this bold picture. Xiahouen, I repeat, set off at once, without stopping. Otherwise, I will deal with you with military discipline...... I don't care about killing one more. ”

Cao Peng was angry, and the crotch Zhao Yebai seemed to empathize, and Xi Yuyu hissed.

The voice, like the roar of a dragon and a lion, echoed in the night sky.

The war horses of Xiahuen's tribe became restless one by one.

According to the night white, it is a sweat and blood horse, the dragon horse of the Western Regions, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary war horses. With Cao Peng's loud shouts, it stepped on the ground, and made a series of snorts from its mouth and nose. That appearance is as if he is on the battlefield, one man and one horse, murderous.

Cao Yang hurriedly said: "Cao Duwei is going to be angry, this matter will be reported to the old lady by me, and then make a decision." ”

Xia Houen was also frightened by Cao Peng's loud shout.

He took a few steps back before he stabilized his footsteps and looked at Cao Peng viciously, if his gaze could kill, Cao Peng would definitely be cut by him with a thousand knives.

A moment later, Cao Yang rushed back again.

"Cao Duwei, Ziyu, grandmother is invited."

Xia Houen snorted, turned his horse and left.

And Cao Peng looked indifferent, and when he saw Xia Houen leaving, he took a sip softly.

"Soft eggs!"

Cao Peng scolded softly.

Cao Yang turned his head in surprise, glanced at Cao Peng, and then looked at Xia Houen's back, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Cao Duwei, Hugh blame...... Ziyu is such a temper, although he is a little arrogant, but he is not a bad person, don't take it to heart. ”

Cao Peng nodded, and Cao Yang urged the horse to the front of the car.

Xiahou Zhen got out of the carriage and was scolding Xiahouen in a low voice.

Seeing Cao Peng coming, she hurriedly walked to the side of the car and whispered a few words through the window.

After a while, I heard the old woman in the car speak: "What Captain Cao said is right, this place is desolate, not a place to camp.

Ziyu, when you left Qian County, how did Wendu explain to you? Don't think that after a few years of practicing marksmanship, you can be arrogant. Cao Duwei is a man who has been in the field for a long time, and although he is younger than you, his visible knowledge is higher than yours. I know what you're thinking. But I want to warn you, this is not Qian County, since Wendu has entrusted Cao Duwei to command the troops, you need to obey the military law in every word and deed, and you must not act recklessly.

If you don't feel well, you can go back.

If any one refuses to obey the order, he will immediately roll back to the old body. The old body doesn't want to entrust his life to a group of undisciplined rabble. ”

Although the old lady's voice was not loud, she could speak loudly.

Although Xia Houen was arrogant, he was so frightened that he hurriedly dismounted, and knelt beside the car with a puff.

"Grandmother forgives sins, but nephews are ignorant...... The nephew is willing to obey his grandmother's orders and obey Cao Duwei's orders. ”

Grandmother?

Cao Xing called the old lady 'aunt', and Xia Houen also called her 'grandmother'.

But when you think about it, it doesn't seem strange. The Cao family and the Xiahou family of Qiaoxian County have been married for generations, and their relationship can be regarded as intricate.

If it is based on generations alone, there is nothing wrong with Xia Houen calling the old lady 'grandmother'.

However, since the old lady opened her mouth, Cao Peng must also show her attitude. So he hurriedly dismounted and came to the side of the car to salute.

"Please don't blame General Ziyu, old lady.

It's also Cao Pengping's casual habituality, and there was rudeness when he spoke just now. General Ziyu was also thinking about the old lady, worried about the bumpy road, and the old lady suffered hardship, so he ...... However, the general thought that we could rest at the post station near Ninh Binh.

In any case, it is not far from the town, and even if there is any chaos, Ningping County can support it at any time.

General Ziyu, Cao was rude just now, and I ask the general to bear with me. ”

Xiahou Zhen's slightly pale delicate face showed a smile.

Cao Peng's words can be described as leaky. Even if Xia Houen had any unhappiness in his heart, he could only endure it...... The old lady said in the car: "Captain Cao, you are not to blame for this matter. What kind of temper Ziyu is, the old body and mind know it in his heart...... He's just used to being arrogant. Cao Yang, pass on the words of the old body, everyone, including the miscellaneous servants of the family, must obey the command and dispatch of Cao Duwei, who dares to be presumptuous, the old body will not be polite. Ziyu, you lead people to open the way in front, and Cao Duwei is in charge of the Chinese army. ”

"Whoa!"

Xia Houen's face was flushed, and after agreeing, he glared at Cao Peng viciously, got on his horse and left.

The corners of Cao Peng's mouth twitched and snorted.

"Captain Cao!"

"The end will be."

"I heard that you also went with a lady on this trip?"

"Oh, it's my sister and ...... The fiancΓ©e of the last general. ”

"Cao Duwei is already engaged?"

"This ...... Sort of. ”

Xiahou Zhen's face showed a look of curiosity.

"If it's convenient, you can invite them to come to the old car and talk. Xiao Zhen's surname is a little boring, and only the old man is left talking along the way, and more people can talk to relieve the fatigue of this journey...... Xiao Zhen, grandma didn't mean to blame you. ”

"It's a little bit who really doesn't know anything."

Xiahou Zhen hurriedly replied.

Now that the old lady has opened her mouth, Cao Peng is not easy to refuse.

However, the more strange he felt in his heart: Who is this old lady surnamed Wu? To say, Xiahou Zhen and Xiahou Enke both have some backgrounds. Imagine, if Xia Houen had no background, how could Cao Ying let him be a sword-holding officer and hand over 'Qinghong' to him for safekeeping?

But whether it is Xiahou Zhen or Xiahouen, in front of the old lady, Wei Wei is a promise.

This old lady has a lot of background!
