Chapter 414 The Second Bomb in Hexi (3)

"Who!"

Cao Peng stood up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as the words fell, I saw a curtain lifted, and a man walked in from outside. Looking at his age, he is about fifty years old, and his face is covered with horrific scars, which makes people shudder. He was wrapped in a black curtain on his head, wearing a black robe, and his eyes were gloomy.

He walked in and saw Cao Peng smiling slightly, the scars on his face squirming, making people dare not look at him.

"Why are you here, sir?"

Cao Peng was also taken aback when he saw the person coming clearly.

The person who came was not someone else, it was the pseudonym Yuan Xuanshuo, the first mastermind under Dong Zhuo in the past, Li Ru, who was known as the poisoner of Liangzhou. This poisoner is not Jia Xu's poison. Perhaps in the overall situation, Li Ru is not as good as Jia Xu, but in details, Li Ru may not be inferior to Jia Xu. If it weren't for Li Ru, Dong Zhuo would not have been able to rise to Liangzhou back then, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Four years ago, Cao Peng was ordered to investigate the murder of Zhu Zan and forced Li Ru to work for him.

The two had made a ten-year agreement, and Li Ru has since hid in Cao's mansion, incognito, and is rarely known. Cao Peng never imagined that Li Ru would come to Hexi. So much so that when he saw Li Ru, he couldn't help but feel surprised.

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

Guo Huan and Bu Luan, leading the two snow mastiffs, quietly withdrew from the small tent.

Li Ru smiled bitterly: "If I don't come, I'm afraid that Gongzi will be killed." ”

"Huh?"

Li Ru took off his boots, stepped onto the couch, and sat on the pouch mat.

Cao Peng poured a bowl of water for him, and asked a little nervously, "What did Mr. just say?" ”

"I suspect I've been spotted with a flaw."

"What?"

"I mean...... Someone seems to have guessed my identity. ”

"Who?"

Cao Peng shuddered and hurriedly asked.

Li Ru smiled bitterly, "Besides Jia Wenhe, who else?" That guy used to work under my tutelage and was no stranger to me. A few months ago, Jia Wenhe came to my door out of the blue, saying that he had heard that I was proficient in Buddhism, so he had come to discuss the Tao with me. When did that guy start believing in Futu? At that time, the old lady did not know the situation, so she brought him over.

He didn't say anything, but I had a feeling that he might have guessed where I came from......

I sensed that the situation was not good, and it happened that Hao Zhao was coming to Hexi, so I recommended myself and came to take refuge with Hao Zhao. ”

When Cao Peng heard this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

How did Jia Xu see Li Ru's flaws?

His brows were twisted, and he was quite frightened in his heart.

"That ......"

"Childe, rest assured, Jia Wenhe is only suspicious, but there is no real evidence.

In addition, Cao Mengde now attaches great importance to the son's family, and it is estimated that even if he Jia Wenhe is suspicious, he will not stand up and expose it. But if I continue to stay in Xudu, I will inevitably be in danger. After thinking about it, it is safer to be in Hexi. ”

"Wouldn't that tell Jia Xu that you ......?"

Cao Peng frowned, and he couldn't help but feel a little blamed in his heart.

Jia Xu is only suspicious now, but as soon as you escape from Xu Du, won't you confirm his guess.

Li Ru, laughed!

"You don't have to worry about it, even if you sit down, what can you do?

Jia Xu, he definitely won't provoke you easily. He has always been very cautious and knows how to protect himself. Taishi has been dead for many years, and even if Cao Mengde knew my identity, he might not really kill me...... On the contrary, if he Jia Wen and Ruozhen did this, they would offend many people if they didn't do it. Harming others is not good for himself, and he will never do it.

I'm now, the dog ear who lost my home! Dying old age.

As long as I leave Xudu, no one will pursue this matter anymore. Jia Wenhe also understands, how can he offend his son again? ”

Cao Peng scratched his head, thinking about it, this is also the truth.

Li Ru stayed in Xudu, it was indeed a little troublesome......

Previously, he couldn't find a proper place to live, so he could only let him stay in Xudu temporarily.

Now, he will gain a foothold in Hexi, and let Li Ru come to assist, which is exactly what he wants, and it will save him a lot of trouble.

"It's a blessing that Mr. can come."

"Oh?" Li Ru said in a deep voice: "Isn't the son in trouble?" ”

"Don't hide it, sir, it's indeed a bit troublesome."

Since he coerced Li Ru at the beginning, he naturally hoped that Li Ru could serve him. In other words, he can solve problems and give him advice.

However, before, there was no chance for Li Ru to play.

Except for analyzing Lao Cao's mind a few times, Li Ru said that there was almost no brilliance. Cao Peng can solve many things by himself. And at that time, he also had a lot of talents around him who could plan for him.

But now, Cao Peng is having a headache for the lack of available people.

The arrival of Li Ru can solve some problems for him......

The two sat down in the small tent, and Cao Peng told him about his current problems and what he had encountered before.

Li Ru looked calm.

After listening to Cao Peng, he took a sip of water and closed his eyes.

As for Cao Peng, he didn't bother Li Ru, but lay down on his side and buried his body in the soft and warm white wolf skin cushion. From taking over the affairs of Hexi to breaking ground in Hongshui County, Cao Peng is under tremendous pressure.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Cao Peng always seems to be confident and has everything under control.

But only he knew that he had been suffering for the past month.

For a criminal policeman, the situation Cao Peng is facing now is far more complicated than the cases he handled in his previous life. Even when he was in Haixi, there was at least one Deng Ji above him to shelter him from the wind and rain, creating an extremely relaxed environment for him. Some people say that Haixi has today's success, and the credit of Cao Peng and Deng Ji is open.

Cao Pengqi, Deng Jisan.

At least before coming to Hexi, Cao Peng also had this idea.

But it wasn't until he really wanted to be on his own that he realized how wrong his previous thinking was.

If Deng Ji hadn't shielded him from the bleak wind and cold rain, I'm afraid his various ideas would not have been realized. In other words, if it weren't for Deng Ji, it would be impossible for another person to support him like that. Even if you have great ability, there is nowhere to show it. If you want Cao Peng to evaluate it now, Haixi's credit, he and Deng Ji should be *** open.

Deng Jiliu, he only has four points of credit.

His whimsical ideas, his ideas, are good, but they need to be carried out.

It is certainly a good thing to have a whimsical idea, but when it comes to execution, Deng Ji takes most of the pressure on him.

It is precisely because of this that today's Haixi is born.

In other people, how could Haixi have the current scale......

Before Li Ru's arrival, Cao Peng had been supporting him alone. Pang Tong is preparing for war in Muyuan in the northwest, or Jia Kui is building a lot of construction in Lianbao. Cao Peng had to do everything in his power to create an environment for them. Just like the things Deng Ji did for him at the beginning. And these things are often not very eye-catching, and it looks as if they are doing nothing......

Li Ru is here!

Cao Peng finally has someone to talk to.

Although Pang Tong is talented, he is by no means a good interlocutor compared to Li Ru.

When Cao Peng finished speaking, he crawled on the white wolf skin, feeling unprecedented relief, and fell asleep unconsciously!

Outside the small tent, there was a commotion from time to time.

Guo Huan's crisp voice is so pleasant.

Cao Peng was in a daze and didn't know how long he had been asleep, when he suddenly felt a shock in his heart and woke up suddenly.

Li Ru was leisurely drinking water.

It was as if he had drunk not water, but some kind of elixir and jade liquid, which was delicious. Cao Peng sat up and found that a candle had been lit in the small tent. Two large waxes make the tent very transparent......

God, it's already dark!

Seeing Cao Peng wake up, Li Ru smiled slightly.

"Childe, did you sleep well?"

There was a breath of heat in the white wolf's skin, so much so that Cao Peng woke up without feeling the slightest chill. He rubbed his eyes, his face showed a look of surprise, scratched his head, and said softly, "Why don't you call me, sir?" But it's rude! ”

"Hah, what a courtesy?"

Li Ru said with a smile: "In the Bianzhang Rebellion back then, I was the mastermind of the Taishi at the beginning, and I am no different from the son now.

I still remember that after I succeeded in planning for the Grand Master, I fell asleep at the celebration banquet and slept until noon the next day...... Hehe, I thought about Childe's plan carefully just now, and there are not too many flaws. But the biggest problem, maybe Childe ignored it! That is, although Hongze people are Han people, they have lived in Hexi for a hundred years, and they have long been different from Han people in the Central Plains. To some extent, those Hongze people are no different from Qianghu. ”

"Oh?"

Cao Peng's spirits perked up, "Please also ask Mr. for advice." ”

"Childe's luck is good, he saved Tan Zhe first, at least at the beginning, not to be isolated.

If Gongzi had chosen Lian County to govern at that time, it might have aroused Tan Zhe's vigilance. It is precisely because Gongzi wants to set up another governance office and the scale of Lian County has decreased, so that Tan Zhe is willing to deal with Gongzi. So, it's a very good start.

But the problem is that Childe wants to gain a foothold in Hongze, and he uses the wrong method. ”

"Oh?"

"Those Hongze people have the habit of Qianghu.

What is Qianghu Habit? To put it bluntly, it is to bully the soft and fear the hard. Childe wants to form an alliance with Hongze, and the direction is not wrong. It's just that at the beginning, there was an important link missing, and that was Liwei! Childe failed to show enough strength to be able to gain a foothold in Hongze's strength. So much so that Hongze people still feel that Gongzi is vulnerable in their hearts.

They should be taught a lesson.

Even if it is to take the initiative to provoke contradictions, it is necessary to show the majesty of the imperial court. ”

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help frowning, "What if it angers the Hongze people?" ”

Li Ru laughed, "Childe, don't you think that these remnants are still the bloody nature of the Han army that swept Mobei back then?" ”

"This?"

"Childe, sometimes, you can't think too much about it.

You must not be blindly gentle with the Hongze people, you must show your toughness. Only in this way will the people of Hongze honestly abide by the covenant...... To be honest, the covenant between Dou Lan and Gongzi is, in someone's opinion, worthless...... Childe felt that his strength was not strong enough. But in Confucianism's view, it is enough to teach Hongze people a small lesson. ”

"But if it intensifies, won't it be trouble?"

Li Ru listened to it and sneered.

"But the question is, do they dare?" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to ***(***.***) to vote for recommendation, ***, your support is my biggest motivation. )
