Chapter 146: This revenge is not revenge, and it is not a gentleman
Diao Chan, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a respectable woman who sacrificed her life to serve the country.
When Dong Zhuo took power, the world was in chaos. The princes jointly crusaded, the wise men offered advice, and the fierce generals forgot to die, but they also failed to eradicate Dong Zhuo. And a weak woman, who sacrificed her innocent body, circled between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, separated the two with a beauty, and finally eliminated Dong Zhuo.
Wonderful story, respectable woman!
But in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, there is no record of Diao Chan.
It is only said that this Diao Chan is the title of a female official of the Han family, not a personal name. Is there really such a strange woman? Cao Peng doesn't know.
However, Mr. Cai Dongfan, the author of the later "Romance of Chinese History", confirmed the existence of Diao Chan in a very positive tone.
Situ Wang Yun was tired of plotting to no avail, so he sent Diao Chan, who had no fists and no bravery, and used his voice and color as a spear, and Fan Neng caused the death of the culprit. Pink Heroes, it's terrifying. And said: For the sake of a country, the Tao is changing. The loyal ministers and righteous men of the whole world, the fierce generals and brave men can't get rid of Dong Zhuo, and Diao Chan can only get rid of them, how can this still be seen in a roundabout way and despise him? Diao, Diao, I love, heavy!
Mr. Cai Dongfan also didn't make it clear whether there was really a woman named Diao Chan who eradicated Dong Zhuo.
But he thinks that there is indeed such a strange woman, who stood up and killed Dong Zhuo when the heroes of the world were helpless at that time.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of what the men in the world have not done have been done by a little woman.
Chen Shou, who wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", either intentionally or unintentionally, ignored the existence of such a woman and considered for the sake of the face of a big man.
Diao Chan, whether it is an official position or a person's name, it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that in the long river of history, there is indeed such a strange woman...... That's enough!
Cao Peng couldn't help but be in awe, and felt even more ashamed of the little dirty thought before. He blasphemed the strange woman, and he deserved to die.
―――――――――――――――――――――― changed into women's clothes, Qi'er combed Cao Peng's fallen bun again, put away Cao Peng's clothes, found something to wrap up, and walked out of the bathroom.
At this time, there was no trace of anyone in the courtyard.
However, in the opposite room, there was laughter from time to time, thinking that it was Lu Bu's daughter, who was having dinner with Diao Chan.
Cao Peng already knew that the young general who came forward to stop Lu Bu in the restaurant that day was the girl who was laughing in the room.
She's supposed to be called ...... Lu Lingqi?
I don't know if she is the girl who was carried by Lu Bu in history and tried to break out of the Cao Wei joint camp and give it to Yuan Shu's son. Listening to her silver bell-like laughter, Cao Peng suddenly had a conflict: I will definitely repay this kindness sooner or later.
The banquet in the main hall has ended, and the guests have dispersed in groups.
However, the town was still heavily guarded, and Cao Peng followed Qi'er out of the gate of the small city and saw two familiar people standing together.
One is Lu Ji who stopped him before.
The other, even more unfamiliar, is Liu Bei's subordinate strategist, Sun Qian.
"Qi'er, do you want to go out?"
Lu Ji greeted from afar.
Qi'er kept a straight face, took Cao Peng's hand, and left, giving Lu Ji a lot of boredom.
"Sister Qi'er, then Lu Ji harmed me, why do you want to ......?"
"It's not for that!" Qi'er gritted her teeth and said: "At the beginning, he disliked the prince, but he was later captured by the Xianbei people and gave birth to that beard." After the prince rescued her, the woman pestered the prince and asked Nahu'er to change her surname to Lu. is also the eldest lady who is generous and does not care. After the little lady got married, the woman didn't know what to do, and she repeatedly competed with the little lady for favor...... Hu Er was even more ambitious and wanted to inherit the prince. His mother and son are here, and they don't cause much trouble. is also a good little lady, and she doesn't want to worry about his mother and son. But the more this is the case, the more arrogant his mother and son become. This time such a trap is set, and its heart can be punished, and its heart can be punished! ”
Cao Peng heard a general idea, but it was difficult to say anything.
"Hu'er, are you familiar with Liu Yuzhou?"
Liu Bei, now the official worships Yuzhou Mu, so he is called Liu Yuzhou at the time.
Qi'er turned her head and glanced at Sun Gan, revealing a look of contempt, "That's not clear, but every time Liu Bei sends someone over, he will give Hu'er a gift." That Sun Gongyou, Hugh looked at him with a loyal face, in fact...... It's very poisonous. ”
Cao Peng didn't ask any further, but he generally understood what was going on.
There was one more thing that he didn't quite know.
Lu Ji, why is he so hostile to him? Aside from this frame-up, the first time the two met, it didn't seem to be very friendly.
"That's right!"
Cao Peng suddenly remembered one thing, "My horse ......"
"Don't worry, I'll go back and tell the little lady about the horse, and I'll find a way to return it to you when the time comes."
"But ......"
"But what?"
"My horse is still in the house, but my people are not there, isn't it ......?"
Qi'er stopped, and after a moment of silence, she pulled Cao Peng and walked into a ready-to-wear store.
According to Cao Peng's previous outfit, after buying another one, Qi'er took Cao Peng around the street in front of the main gate of the small city and entered through a small gate.
Found a secluded place, Cao Peng changed his clothes.
Qi'er smiled: "Gongzi Cao, I think you seem to look better pretending to be your daughter's family." ”
Such a sentence, if it were someone else, it would not be possible to turn against Qi'er at that time. Cao Peng was just a little embarrassed and smiled.
"Sister Qi'er, don't make fun of me anymore!"
Qi'er grinned, and sure enough, she didn't say any more.
However, his attitude towards Cao Peng is better. At least, the feeling to Qi'er is that Cao Peng does not have that kind of machismo, and his surname is also gentle, and he is also very respectful of girls, and he speaks slowly, and occasionally blushes like a girl.
"Cao Gongzi, you haven't left yet?"
Just when Cao Peng was about to say goodbye to Qi'er, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
Turning his head to look, he saw the surname Cao walking towards him with a cadre of armor.
"Uh......"
Without waiting for Cao Peng to speak, the surname Cao had already come over.
When he saw Qi'er clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Immediately, a strange smile appeared on the face.
"I say, your horse is still there, but the man is gone...... It turned out to be a private meeting with a beautiful woman here. ”
"Well, General Cao, don't get me wrong."
"Haha, I didn't misunderstand, I didn't expect you and Miss Qi'er to be very ......"
Qi'er's face sank, "General Cao, I still have something, you can talk about it." ”
After that, she ignored the surname Cao and left along the small path.
"General Cao, you really misunderstood."
"Okay, I misunderstood...... surnamed Cao looked at Qi'er's back and laughed softly, "Gongzi Cao, Qi'er was brought up by my prince since childhood, and he treats it as his own." Nominally, she is a master and servant with the eldest lady, but in fact she is like a sister. It's just that she is cold, doesn't have a fake face, and has practiced good martial arts with Junhou, so it is difficult for ordinary people to touch. ”
Cao Peng knew that this matter was getting darker and darker.
The surname Suo made a casual appearance and stopped talking.
"Let's go, I'll get you out of town."
"General Cao, you ...... It's like facing a great enemy, what is going on? ”
"It's not that nonsense...... Well, it was the young prince who said to the prince that there were thieves making trouble in the city. The prince ordered an investigation, so the city was heavily guarded. I saw your horse just now, but I couldn't see your people. I thought it was ...... Hehe, forget it, I'll send you. ”
When Cao Peng and Cao walked out of the city gate again, Lu Ji and Sun Qian were no longer there.
Cao Pengjing sat on the night and said goodbye to the surname Cao.
On the way back, he was still thinking about today.
Lu Ji was hostile to him, which was a bit inexplicable.
and then framed him with a dead hand, or his mother competed for favor, but implicated him, it was inevitably a little sudden and a little weird.
Thinking of seeing Lu Ji and Sun Qian talking together just now, Cao Peng was a little enlightened.
Sun Gongyou, are you making a move?
Last night, Sun Qian talked to the man named 'Ziai' in the restaurant, revealing Liu Bei's close connection with Haixi.
In fact, everyone knows this connection.
The Elk family is Liu Bei's person, and the mastermind behind the Haixi Salt Owl is the Elk family, so Liu Bei's role in it is naturally highlighted. He relied on the private salt of the Elk family in exchange for military rations and weapons, and at the same time kept a force in Haixi, which could influence Xiapi at any time.
In later generations, many people believe that Liu Bei relied on crying to fight the country.
But as Liu Bei's former fan, Cao Peng knows very well that Liu Bei can divide the world into three parts, and stand tall with Sun Wu and Cao Wei, but he can not only rely on crying. This person has the means and knows how to package himself. Han clan relatives...... As Li Zongwu, the leader of the Houhei School in later generations, said, Liu Bei, as a descendant of the Liu family, learned the 'thickness' of his ancestor Liu Bang to the point of being pure and pure.
However, if you don't mess with me, if you mess with me...... In Cao Peng's eyes, the murderous intent loomed.
This revenge is not revenge...... Sun Qian, since you dare to frame me, I will definitely cut off your lord's wealth.
A thought suddenly arose in his mind, Cao Peng's eyes couldn't help but narrow, and a weird smile appeared on his face.
When ―――――――――――――――――――――――――― returned to the post station, Sun Qian was about to leave.
The carriage and horses were ready, and he walked out of the post station, and was just about to get on the carriage, but he heard someone shouting, "Mr. Gongyou, please stay first." ”
Turning his head to look, he saw Cao Peng coming over with a smile and arching his hand towards him.
Sun Qian was stunned at first, and hurriedly returned the salute.
"Cao Gongzi!"
"Hehe, does Mr. Gongyou recognize me?"
"This ...... At the Wenhou banquet, the son had to toast three glasses of Wenhou, can Sun Qianyan know? ”
Cao Peng smiled brightly, "I see, my Mr. Dao Gongyou also knows my cheap name, and I was secretly happy just now." ”
"Uh......"
Rao is Sun Qian's clever and eloquent speech, and he didn't know how to answer when Cao Peng said this.
This product, it's shameless!
You're a little soldier, and you're worthy of my acquaintance?
But this courtesy is here, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Sun Qian really doesn't know how to speak.
"Mr. Gongyou, are you leaving?"
"Oh, exactly."
"Be careful on the road, don't get into trouble."
Sun Qian couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, Cao Peng's words sounded like a strong concern, but how could he listen to it, how could it not be a taste.
Could it be that he knows something?
Looking at Cao Peng's immature face, Sun Qian was a little undecided.
"If you see Liu Yuzhou, I hope to congratulate you on my behalf."
"Michiga?"
"I heard that Liu Yuzhou got Yang Fenghan Xian's soldiers and horses, and now the soldiers are strong and strong, isn't it worth congratulating?"
"This ...... Cao Gongzi laughed. ”
"Really?" Cao Peng smiled, "Then Mr. Gongyou, you can take care." ”
With that, he went straight back to the station.
Sun Qian stood next to the carriage and didn't know what to do for a while.
Cao Peng's words sound like deep feelings, but when I think about it, I feel that every sentence is hidden in the edge. What does this kid mean exactly? Is he congratulating, or is he ...... Perhaps, my previous actions were a little reckless, and this kid was aware of it?
The more I think about it, the more awkward it feels.
After Sun Gan boarded the carriage, he was worried.
"Quick, let's go back to Xiaopei immediately, don't delay the journey."
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――― "Ah Fu, just now I saw you and Liu Bei's envoy talking at the door, do you know him?" ”
"I don't know!"
"I don't know, you talk to him so much?"
Sitting in the living room across the courtyard, Xu Yi and Dianman pulled Cao Peng and asked.
Cao Peng replied: "It's just a greeting, a face-saving effort." ”
"Oh!" Dianman nodded, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "You don't need to be polite to him." Listen to my father, Liu Xuande is very bad. ”
"Really?"
Nodding vigorously, he said that what he said was true.
Cao Peng is not surprised: like Dian Wei, he likes to go straight.
Liu Bei may be very good at packaging himself, but in the eyes of people like Dian Wei, he may not be able to please, and even have the opposite effect.
"Whatever, let's get ready, it's time to go back."
Dianman and Xu Yi hurriedly agreed, and the three of them ordered to go down and let the servants prepare their luggage.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of people shouting and neighing horses outside the post house. Followed by the post officer, he hurriedly ran over, saw Cao Peng, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Gongzi Cao, someone is looking for you outside."
"Oh?"
Cao Peng was a little strange, and hurriedly walked out of the post station with the post officer.
I saw a team of sergeants parked on the long street outside the post station.
These sergeants were significantly different from the sergeants Cao Peng had seen before. One by one, they were silent, standing quietly on the long street, with a thick evil atmosphere.
"Master Cao, let's meet again!"
When the surname Cao saw Cao Peng, he waved with a smile.
"You still say it's okay with Miss Qi'er?"
"What's wrong?"
"Hehe, this is the soldier and horse that Miss Qi'er asked for you?"
"Ahh
Cao Peng grew his mouth, looked at the soldier in front of him, and then looked at the surname Cao.
The little lady said that Haixi is in chaos now. It's definitely not easy for you to do things over there as a child, so I asked the prince to help you just now. Well, this is a group of soldiers selected from Wenyuan's subordinates, and they can go to Haixi County with you...... Hao Zhao! ”
"The last general!"
From among the sergeants, a teenager came out.
Looking at his age, he is about sixteen or seventeen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a tiger's back.
Listening to the accent, it seems to be a Northlander.
Cao Peng couldn't tell what the place was.
"From now on, you will follow Cao Gongzi."
Hao Zhao's face was expressionless, and he arched his hand and said, "The last general will obey the order...... The last general has seen Cao Gongzi. ”
"Ah, excuse me!"
Cao Peng was still a little dizzy at this time, but in general, he seemed to understand the mystery.
It's not a prayer!
He and Qi'er don't have such a deep friendship.
"Prince, do you have any orders?"
"The prince doesn't have any instructions, but the little lady said, let you do things well, and if you succeed in the future, don't forget the kindness of the prince."
No, it's not the prince's grace!
It's her kindness...... Cao Peng seems to understand a little.
Diao Chan ...... Oh, let's call her Diao.
She is hoping that she can help Lu Bu one day in the future!
Don't ask if Diao Chan has selfish intentions. But no matter what, these sergeants in front of him are undoubtedly a relief to Cao Peng.
He hesitated, "Please return to the little lady, just say Cao Peng, never forget the kindness of today!" ”
