Chapter 174: Love Letter
Ding-ding-ding-The copper ball rotated in Cao Peng's hand, hitting it rhythmically, making a crisp sound.
"Ah Fu, can you stop playing with your two pills?"
"Uh......"
Cao Peng's forehead was covered with black lines.
How does this sound so weird?
It translates to, 'You don't play with your two balls anymore'. If this is placed in the future generations, it will inevitably lead to ambiguity.
If you say one more 'copper' word, will you die?
Cao Peng was very helpless.
Cao Peng's two balls...... The two copper balls are actually made according to the health balls of later generations.
In his previous life, the old martial artist who taught him kung fu liked to play 'double pills'. It is said that this 'double pill' can enhance hand strength, stimulate blood vessels, and strengthen qi and blood.
The limbs and whole body of the human body are one and the same.
Among the 14 major meridians, in addition to the second meridian of Rendu, the 12 meridians link the hands and feet with the chest, abdomen, head and other parts of the body. As the saying goes, ten fingers are connected to the heart. It is said that these ten fingers are closely related to the internal organs of the whole body. Through the stimulation of the hands, it can be transmitted to the corresponding organs and affect the whole body. And this 'double pill' is precisely able to achieve this magical effect.
At the beginning, Cao Peng was inspired by the jade ball in Chen Sheng's house.
He originally wanted to use jade to create it, but later he felt that jade was fragile and difficult to find, so it was impossible to create it all at once. Therefore, when he was in Haixi, he found the best local blacksmith through the gold market to create a pair of double pills out of red copper.
Each weighs about two catties, and it usually rotates in the hand to play, and when necessary, it can also be used as a hidden weapon.
In the white ape's back fist, there is also a way to use hidden weapons. For example, what meteor catches the moon, what twin ghosts knock on the door...... Wait a minute. Cao Peng didn't pay much attention to this aspect of kung fu in his previous life, but he can still remember the general practice.
'Double Pill', also known as Iron Meteor.
The meaning is that when it is used as a hidden weapon, it is as fast as a meteor.
Liang Shangjun's eyes were rolling, looking at the pair of iron meteors in Cao Peng's hand, he couldn't help but tremble a little. Just now, when he was hiding on the beam, the iron meteor hit him by the side. Liang Shangjun's skills are not weak, and he can clearly feel that Cao Peng's blow should be left behind. Otherwise, if this iron meteor hits his body, even if he can't kill him, it can break his bones and tendons.
Outside the door, Xia Houlan also heard movement.
However, he was ordered by Xun Yan to guard outside and not let people approach.
Don't look at Xun Yan with ten generals, but he already feels that the ones who can really reassure him are probably Xiahoulan and Cao Peng.
When Cao Peng put away the iron meteor, Xun Yan went up and down, looking at the gentleman on the beam.
The height of the gentleman on the beam is not too tall, about seven feet, about 165 feet tall.
The body is thin and thin, and he belongs to the kind of master who throws it into the pot and can't boil a few taels of oil. The arms are slightly longer than the average person, and they hang down almost to the knees. Eight-character beard, short beard under the chin, triangular eyes, yellowish eyeballs, seem to be a little cloudy, stand in the crowd, inconspicuous.
"Who are you?"
The gentleman on Liang hurriedly waved his hand, "Villain Luo Kedi, meet Engong." ”
The ancients often used a single name as expensive and a double name as cheap. Generally speaking, most of the people who take the double name are convicts and prisoners, and their social status is not too high. And from birth, they are destined to be double names. Even the registration will also be displayed by two names.
Xun Yan frowned slightly, and then did not speak again.
Like his background, he really doesn't bother to talk to a double name.
He glanced at Cao Peng, and Cao Peng immediately understood what he meant. Xun Yan asked him to come forward and be a gentleman on the beam...... Uh, Rocques talking.
"Luo Kedi, what do you do for a living?"
Luo Kedi's cloudy eyes flashed with a gleam, and he waved his hand at Cao Peng.
"Little Engong, the villain has a question in his heart, I wonder if Xiao Engong can solve the villain's doubts?"
This guy seems to be very interesting!
Cao Peng couldn't help but smile and nodded lightly: "Ask." ”
"The villain has been practicing light body since he was a child, although he can't be superb, but he can also fly the eaves and walk the wall, and the ground is silent. The beams of this room are very high, and the villain also feels that it is very hidden, but Xiao Engong can see the villain's hiding place at a glance, I don't know what mistake the villain made? ”
This sentence basically exposed the behavior of Luo Kedi.
Who will fly through the wall and pass through the door when there is nothing to do? Who needs to walk on the ghost and land silently? Who needs to deliberately practice hiding places? The answer is imminent, and that is a thief! However, it can be seen that Luo Kedi belongs to the kind of thief who is very strict with himself and very self-motivated. Cao Peng couldn't help but smile, looked at the Luo Kedi, and didn't speak for a long time.
In his eyes, there was a faint sense of oppression.
Luo Kedi's heart also pounded.
"Actually, you have a good hiding technique, and you are also very clever...... At first, I didn't notice you. ”
"That ......"
"But the problem is the dust on the beams."
"Dust?"
Cao Peng walked to the bookcase, stretched out his hand, and wiped it on the case.
"Sir is so neat, so when Mr. was no longer there, I deliberately wiped down the bookcase. But just now, I found that there was a layer of floating dust on the case. Of course, it's not particularly obvious. It's only because I've just wiped it that I notice this. ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"Well......, actually, it's that simple."
Luo Kedi couldn't help but smile bitterly, while Xun Yan was on the side, showing appreciation.
In his mind, a scene before he left Xu Du suddenly appeared. Before leaving Xudu, Guo Jia visited the door.
"Hugh, I have something to ask for...... Some time ago, Uncle Deng wrote to me that his brother-in-law was going to be crowned and wanted to find a gentleman for him. But for a variety of reasons, you know...... I know if I can learn and I don't have a disciple, I don't know if I can be accommodating? ”
At that time, Xun Yan was a little unhappy, and felt that Guo Jia's request seemed a bit presumptuous.
But now, Xun Yan feels that he may not be able to teach Cao Peng.
Maybe...... In Xun Yan's heart, a thought emerged.
Cao Peng didn't know that in this electric light, Xun Yan's mind was already turning a thousand times.
He was asking Luo Kedi: "Luo Kedi, I already know what you do for a living. I've answered your question, and now it's time for you to answer mine...... I want to know, what did you do to provoke the thief Cao of Wu County and chase you for thousands of miles? ”
From Dantu to Wu County, there are three county seats: Qu'a, Biling, and Wuxi.
Although the two places are not separated by thousands of miles, the distance is continuous. Dantu is one of the thirteen county towns under the rule of Wu County, and it is also the northernmost county seat. Generally speaking, most of the ordinary bandits are arrested by the county thieves. There are only two possibilities to alarm the thief Cao of Wu County, one is that this person is doing everything in Wu County, and the other is that it is possible that the crime is too big, so that the thief Cao of the county is out of the horse.
From Han Zong's previous words, Cao Peng could hear that this Han Zong was from Wu County, chasing and killing Luo Kedi all the way.
So, what did the Roque enemy do?
Luo Kedi hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Since Xiao Engong has already guessed the villain's livelihood, the villain will no longer hide it."
The villain is a native of Wu County, and what he does is the business that passes through the door and has no capital. To be honest, the villain still hasn't figured out how he provoked the Wu County thief Cao. About a month ago, the villain walked away from a house. Subsequently, the thieves and Cao Cao of Wu County went out one after another to arrest local idlers everywhere. The villain found that the situation was not good, and escaped from Wu County overnight. I thought I would dodge for two days, and then go back when the limelight passed, who knows...... Later, the villain leaked his whereabouts, so he was targeted by those Sun family dogs and fled all the way from Wu County to Dantu.
Originally, the villain planned to take a boat to Jiangbei, but he didn't want to say that the dock was blocked.
Those Sun dogs chased after them in a hurry, and the villain had no way out, so he fled here with a fluke heart. I didn't think about it, but I ......"
Cao Pengqi said: "Then who did you steal?" ”
"Actually, it's not a family, it's just an ordinary family in Wu County."
"And you, what did you steal?"
"I didn't steal anything......
Cao Peng's face sank, and his voice suddenly became fierce, "Luo Kedi, do you think that I am young and can be bullied, or do you think that I dare not kill people?" ”
"Ah...... Why did Xiao Engong say this? ”
The iron meteor in Cao Peng's hand spun rapidly, and the twin pills made a grinding sound as they turned.
Luo Kedi's face turned pale with fright, and he knelt down and prostrated on the ground.
Don't you dare to kill?
I've seen it all, you just killed people, and you didn't even blink an eye.
"You didn't steal any big families, and you didn't steal valuables, so you attracted the thief Cao of Wu County to chase and kill you for thousands of miles, what is the reason?"
"Little Engong, I really don't know."
Luo Kedi said: "The villain still hasn't figured out what is going on.
The villain has lived in Wu County for so many years, how can he not understand some truths? Who can move, what people can't move, the villain knows very well in his heart. Over the years, the villain has never missed, who knew that this time, it would cause so many disasters? ”
Cao Peng looked towards Xun Yan.
Xun Yan nodded and coughed slightly.
"Luo Kedi, it stands to reason that I should cooperate with Wu Jun to arrest you.
However, I don't think it's easy for you...... Recall what it was that stole that led to such a killing. ”
Xun Yan spoke very slowly, but with an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Luo Kedi scratched his head and got up suddenly, "Wait a minute, the two bengongs. ”
As he spoke, he twisted himself and rose into the air. One foot stepped on the edge of the window, and suddenly a force was exerted. The body is like a light swallow, silently raised. His hands fell on the beam, and he saw his body twisted in the air and quietly landed on the beam.
He took out a package from the beam, and jumped down.
"Engong, the villain has nothing to grow, and when he runs out, everything he can bring is inside.
I stole two pieces of gold that day, and on the same day I sold the money and used it for food and wine; In addition to the two pieces of gold, there was also a box. The villain loves it beautifully, so he stays around. There was nothing in the box, just letters...... But the villain doesn't know how to read, so he doesn't know what it is. Before the villain could deal with it, he was chased and killed by Han Zong and brought it with him in a hurry. If it's really because of this family, the villain thinks that it is probably the letter in this box. ”
As he spoke, Roquedi opened the package and took out a wooden box made of green sandalwood from inside.
It's not too big, as Luo Kedi said, and the workmanship is also very fine.
Cao Peng took the wooden box and handed it to Xun Yan. Xun Yan opened the box and found that in this box was a stack of precious Zuo Bo paper.
This family is not simple!
It's just that there is gold, but there is still such a precious Zuobo paper?
He picked up a piece of letterhead, and swept it quickly by the candlelight, but his face changed, and his expression suddenly looked a little strange.
"Roque, is that all?"
"That's it."
"You...... Didn't lose anything? ”
"The villain swears in the name of the deceased old mother, and there is no lie.
The villain is illiterate, and even if he looks at it, he doesn't know what it is. At that time, the wind was tight, how could I dare to deal with it casually? ”
"Ah Fu, come and see."
Cao Peng stepped forward and took the smooth and delicate Zuobo paper from Xun Yan's hand.
Before I could read the contents, a faint fragrance lingered on the tip of my nose. It seems to be a common incense used by women, but what kind of fragrance is it? Cao Peng couldn't tell the difference. The color of Zuo Bo's paper, with a slight touch of purple, can see that this master is very interesting.
He bent down and read the contents carefully.
The handwriting is very beautiful, and there are very obvious traces of flying white, presumably it is a copy of Cai Yong's inscription.
But this content ...... Cao Peng couldn't help crying and laughing.
Actually, it's a love letter.
And this love letter is still a poem in the Book of Songs.
The meaning is roughly as follows: We made an appointment, and I came to the agreed place, but the lover did not show up. Why didn't you come, lover? Could it be that there is another new love? You know, I waited until dawn, and my tears were gone...... The infatuated woman, the longing for her lover, and the worries and uneasiness in her heart, jumped on the paper.
But there was no head-up, and there was no payment.
Presumably, there is no need for this.
Cao Peng scratched his head and read a few more letters, which were roughly the same.
Some got a reply from the lover, and the infatuated woman felt extremely happy.
Some are inexplicably worried, as if they are worried about something...... "Luo Kedi, are you sure you haven't discarded it?" ”
Roque's enemy is about to cry!
"Two benevolent fathers, if the villain has half a lie, he will not die well...... Feed the dogs even if you're dead! I really didn't throw anything away. Engong thought, most of the villains' friends are people who are as vulgar as the villain, what's the use of this thing? If it's a blank paper, the villain can also exchange some money to spend it. Can be ...... above Besides, the villain's business is about being careful. At that time, the rumors had been banned, how could the villain dare to act rashly. thought that he could get through it safely, but Han Zong actually destroyed Meili and pulled out the villain. ”
Meili must be a place to sell stolen goods in Wu County.
Since Luo Kedi sold the gold, Han Zong must have followed the vine from the two pieces of gold, and finally found Luo Kedi...... However, it won't be chased for thousands of miles!
Cao Peng looked at the love letters in the box, and fell into deep thought for a while: Isn't it, what secrets are hidden in these love letters?
