Chapter 564: Encounter, Laughter, Enmity and Enmity (1/2)

As early as when Yingyin was in Yingyin, Du Ji, Lu Yu and others talked to Cao Peng about the impact he would have after he became the Taishou of Nanyang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Cao Peng also estimated that his arrival would attract the attention of many people.

Want to take office quietly?

It's not too likely.

In the boundary of Nanyang, if there is any wind and grass, those wealthy families will know at the first time.

No way, it's a bunch of ground snakes!

Therefore, Cao Peng did not intend to hide his identity, and immediately became high-profile after arriving at Wufang. He ordered someone to inform Wuyin Jia Xu and officially inform the officials of Nanyang that he was about to arrive in Wuyin. It's just that after crossing Zhongyang Mountain, he didn't immediately go to Wuyin County. Instead, he took Pang De and Du Ji, Huang Yueying, Xiahou Zhen, Deng Ai and others, all the way to Zhongyang Town, and where to stay for one night.

Zhongyang Town is his hometown.

Cao Peng did not forget his mother's advice to him before leaving.

"When you arrive in Nanyang, remember to take back the ancestral house and land in your hometown."

So, Cao Peng went straight to Zhongyang Town.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In a flash, ten years.

In the autumn of ten years ago, Cao Peng killed Chengji and fled Zhongyang Town with his parents and Wang Meng's father and son, and took refuge in Jianyang. That night, it was snowy...... But it was from that time that the fate of Cao Peng's family was destined to change dramatically.

Who would have thought that the inconspicuous and honest Cao blacksmith in the town back then would now become the assassin of Liangzhou?

Who would have guessed that the young man who had been sick all day long and looked like he might die at any time had now become Nanyang Taishou.

When the flying camels opened the way and the white camels came to the outside of Zhongyang Town, the entire Zhongyang Town was also boiling!

Nanyang Taishou!

This is perhaps the smallest town of Zhongyang, the largest official to visit since the town was founded.

In particular, Wuyin still belongs to Cao Cao, and Zhongyang Town naturally belongs to the imperial court. I heard that this Nanyang Taishou is very amazing. And very young, it is said that he is not yet twenty-five years old. At such a young age, he has achieved the position of Nanyang Taishou, and he must be a person with great ability. Not only the people were in a panic, but the three elders in the town lined up ten miles away from Zhongyang Town to greet them.

It's just that no one expected that this Nanyang County Taishou was the Cao family who killed and fled back then.

Ten years have passed, and things are not people.

Ten years ago, there were not many people in Zhongyang Town.

The rest of the people, some of them still remember 'Cao Blacksmith'. Hearing that the new Nanyang Taishou was called Cao Peng, they were not only puzzled.

"The child's father, why is this Nanyang Taishou's name so familiar?"

"What's wrong?"

"Do you still remember the old Cao family in the west of the town?"

"You mean...... Cao Blacksmith? ”

"yes!" A village woman held the child in her arms and said in a low voice: "I remember that the son of Cao Blacksmith seems to be called Cao Peng." ”

"Shh

Townsman A, the husband of the village woman, hurriedly signaled her to shut up.

"Women's Taoist people, don't talk nonsense.

Cao Blacksmith is now alive or dead, not certainly. Besides, how could the sick little guy of the Cao family be too shou? The same name, but the same name. Don't talk nonsense, if you are heard by Taishou, you may be punished for a crime of gibberish. ”

The village woman was intimidated and immediately closed her mouth.

It's just that the couple didn't know that not only them, but also many people thought of the honest Cao blacksmith family back then. But no one spoke, because in their eyes, they couldn't associate the dignified Taishou with Cao Blacksmith at all.

December 28 was a good day.

For several days, the sun was shining and the wind was beautiful.

The snow on the official road has melted, and the fields beside the road have begun to reveal a touch of green color.

In the distance, a convoy of chariots and horses came.

At first there was a cavalry army, about two hundred men.

All white armor, big and good horses under the crotch. Spears and broadswords glitter in the sunlight and can be seen from afar.

After the cavalry, there was a line of chariots and horses.

And behind the carriage and horses, there was also a group of soldiers riding strange monsters.

The white camel in the Western Regions, with white clothes and white armor, a big sword and a strong bow, exuded an inexplicable aura of slaughter during the march.

Seeing those soldiers and horses, the townspeople couldn't help but let out a series of exclamations. Most of them are honest people who have lived at the foot of Zhongyang Mountain for generations, and they have never seen such strange animals. The white camel, draped in white lacquered iron armor, showed only its slender neck and head. The three elders led by him hurriedly turned around and scolded. Then he straightened his clothes, tried to make a bright smile, and walked forward quickly.

"Zhang Cheng, the third elder of Zhongyang, greets Lord Taishou."

He was terrified, and he crawled on the side of the road.

As soon as the three elders knelt down, the rest knelt down one after another.

The cavalry stopped abruptly, and Zhang Cheng was prostrate on the ground, and he could feel the hot snort of the war horse.

Immediately after, there was the sound of hooves.

"Mr. Zhang, please get up."

Looking up, Zhang Chengcheng saw a burly young man, riding a tall horse, stopping not far from him. For some reason, Zhang Cheng found that this young man seemed to be a little familiar. But he was sure that he had never seen this young man, so he was very unfamiliar.

I couldn't help but feel very strange in my heart, but Zhang Cheng didn't dare to slack off.

"It is an honor for the town to come to the town in person.

On behalf of the 3,700 villagers in Zhongyang Town, the villain prepared a glass of thin wine, especially for the adults. ”

As he spoke, a young man held a tray with a delicate bronze jue on it. The young man raised his hands above his head, trembling, and walked up to the liger, which was much taller, larger, and stronger than ordinary horses. He is the eldest grandson of Zhang Cheng and is twenty-two years old. For this toast, Zhang Chengke spent a lot of effort to win over his eldest grandson.

"Grass, grass, grass people toast adults."

The young man on the horse is Cao Peng.

But seeing that his eyes narrowed, a strange smile appeared on his face, staring at the three elders, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Stretching out his hand and taking the wine cup, Cao Peng raised it on his horse, saluted the people of Zhongyang Town around him, and then tilted his neck and drank it all.

"Old Zhang, do you still recognize me?"

Cao Peng held the wine cup in his hand and suddenly asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Cheng was stunned when he heard this, raised his head, and looked at Cao Peng suspiciously, "My lord, forgive the little old man for being dizzy, I am fortunate to know the adult." ”

"Ten years ago, I walked out of here......"

"Huh?"

Zhang Cheng was taken aback, listening to the tone of this Nanyang Taishou, it seems that he is from Zhongyang Town?

He looked at it carefully, but the more he looked at it, the more familiar it felt, but he just couldn't remember Cao Peng's origin.

Cao Peng glanced at Zhang Cheng and suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

Ten years ago, Zhang Chengcheng was the third elder of Zhongyang Town. At that time, Cao Peng was just a grass people; Ten years later, Cao Penggui was the Taishou of Nanyang, but Zhang Cheng was still the third elder of Zhongyang Town. At the beginning, the Zhang family went to the Chengji Trading House in Zhongyang Town to sell the ancestral jade pendant, but Chengji took a fancy to it and wanted to swallow it up. So he framed Zhang in public as a thief. Zhang Cheng, as the third elder of Zhongyang Town, knew that the Zhang family was framed, but he did not hesitate to stand on Chengji's side...... If it weren't for Wang Meng at that time, Zhang might have been imprisoned.

However, it was precisely because of this incident that Cao Peng was angry and killed Chengji.

It's been 10 years!

When Cao Peng left Zhongyang Town, he vowed to come back one day and make the people who bullied his mother look good......

But for some reason, when he saw Zhang Cheng's white hair and a look of the ravine of time, his thoughts of revenge suddenly faded.

He is a dignified Nanyang Taishou.

Why bother with such an inconspicuous little foot?

When people come to a certain position, they will always be relieved of the past. The two of them are no longer characters at the same level, and Cao Peng really can't have the slightest murderous intent towards Zhang Cheng. Hearing Zhang Cheng's answer, Cao Peng couldn't help but raise his head and laugh.

This smile made him feel a lot more broad-minded.

It is often said that when you meet, you smile and enmity when you meet.

When Cao Peng saw Zhang Cheng again, he had no hatred or resentment in his heart, and he couldn't make any waves.

He raised his hand suddenly, and the horsewhip in his hand snapped over Zhang Cheng's head. Then he let out a long breath, turned his head and shouted to Pang De: "Ling Ming, you are willing to go with me and take a look at the former residence." ”

Pound gave up his hand on the horse, "I don't dare to ask for it...... Childe, please! ”

Cao Peng put the wine cup back on the tray and urged the war horse under his crotch.

The liger roared and galloped with its hooves raised. The people of Zhongyang Town around them suddenly made a commotion and got out of the way.

And Pang De ordered the flying camel soldiers, the horses followed, and rushed into Zhongyang Town in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Cheng still felt inexplicable.

At this time, a young man urged Ma to come to Zhang Cheng and said with a smile: "Don't worry about Elder Zhang, since my son-in-law did this, it means that he doesn't care about the past." It's just that Zhongyang Town needs some changes, and when the time comes, I will still look forward to Zhang Lao, don't blame it. ”

"Dare to ask ......"

"In Deng Zhi in Xia Jianyang, he is Sima under the son's account."

"Deng Gongzi, Lord Taishou ...... him"

"Didn't Mr. Zhang forget that the bloody case of Chengji Commercial Bank in Zhongyang Town ten years ago was not successful?"

"Huh?"

When Zhang Cheng heard the words 'Cheng Ji Commercial Bank', he couldn't help but shudder. He finally remembered why he looked at Cao Peng a little familiar. Cao Ji, the blacksmith of Cao at the west end of the town. When Cao Peng was a teenager, he was in poor health, so he looked thin and thin, and he was a little delicate. But as his body continued to get stronger, Cao Peng's appearance became more and more similar to Cao Ji.

Deng Zhi waved his hand, and the convoy marched again.

The white camel soldiers retreated, and slowly drove into Zhongyang Town under the leadership of Jiang Yin.

"Sure enough, it's Cao's blacksmith's!"

A village woman screamed out loud, but her husband immediately reached out and covered her mouth.

"You can't die...... Cao Blacksmith is also what you can call it? ”

"But...... You mother-in-law, you don't know anything. That's a dignified lord, you don't hold back like this, be careful of people falling to the ground. ”

The village woman immediately closed her mouth.

"Is it really a kid from the old Cao family?"

"I didn't expect that...... Lao Cao's family actually has such a talented character. ”

"Son, father, I remember that you had a good relationship with Brother Afu Tiger Head back then, why don't you go and meet him, and you can also fight for a future."

“…… I said a long time ago that Brother Cao's family is no better than ordinary people. ”

The townsfolk were in a mess and had everything they wanted.

Some were surprised, some were envious, and some felt inexplicably frightened.

Zhang Cheng, on the other hand, stood on the side of the road with a pale face, unable to speak for a long time.

At the beginning, in order to cater to the brothers of Wuyin Ling's family, he did not hesitate to ignore his conscience and wronged the Zhang family...... Now, retribution is coming, retribution is coming!

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Cheng was stunned for a while, revealing an ugly smile, "Son, big disaster, big disaster......
