Chapter 518: Alienation (2/2)

Xingyang, two Beijing belts, three Qin throats. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

During the Chu and Han dynasties, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu divided the world with the gap between Xingyang and drew the Chu River and Han boundary. During the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, Xingyang was on a par with Chang'an and Luoyang, and was known as 'Fuguan Hainai' and 'the famous capital of the world'. However, after the Yellow Turban, Xingyang's military status gradually exceeded its economic and political status. As the northern gateway of Xudu, Xingyang is of great importance.

Since Cao Cao reopened a workshop in Hehe, the former Xingyang iron-smelting blast furnace was reopened and rejuvenated again.

At the beginning of March of the tenth year of Jian'an, the spring rain continued, and the peach and apricot withered.

Cao Peng and his entourage arrived outside Xingyang City, which immediately made Xingyang lively......

Xingyang guarded Wang Zhi too much and personally went out of the city to greet him.

Greeting a prisoner as a county magistrate has never happened. In addition to Wang Zhi, Guo Yong, the supervisor of the Shaofu Zhuye Supervisor, also came to greet him. In addition, there are Cao Zhen, the deputy governor of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the captain of the Tiger Ben Military Academy, Xu Yi, the captain of the Tiger Guard, and Sima Cao Zun of the Xudu City Gate, who also gathered in Xingyang to welcome Cao Peng......

The Zheng family and the Pan family, which are the two major clans in Xingyang, also sent representatives.

Kong Rong even made his clan, on behalf of Qingliu, come to greet him.

There were nearly 100 people, waiting in the Shili Pavilion outside the city.

Look at that posture, where is it to greet the prisoner, it is clearly to welcome a general who has returned triumphantly!

Cao Zhen and the four of them are okay to say, little Bayi!

It makes sense that they had come to greet their brothers.

But Wang Zhi and others are too grand. So much so that when Cao Peng came to Shili Pavilion, he couldn't help but feel panicked, and hurriedly got out of the car and walked to meet everyone. Cao Zhen and others hugged Cao Peng warmly and greeted each other.

Kong Xiu came over to salute on behalf of Kong Rong, "Uncle can't come because of official business, please forgive me." ”

This person is one of the eight passes of Luoyang, the guard of Xuanyuan Pass.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he was once Guan Yu's soul under the knife who rode alone for thousands of miles, and crossed five levels and killed six generals. It's just that Guan Yu doesn't get the opportunity to ride alone for thousands of miles now, while Kong Xiu is safe and continues to be his captain.

This guy is Kong Rong's clan?

This was unexpected by Cao Peng......

To be honest, he hadn't heard of Kong Xiu.

It's just a little impression in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Kong Rong has such a family, which really surprised Cao Peng.

But basically, he kept enough composure.

Although Cao Peng is a prisoner, he came to Xingyang to serve a prison sentence at the age of three. But after all, he made great achievements in Liangzhou, seizing Wuwei, Pinglongxi, and Zhenjincheng, so that the alien races in the northwest did not dare to act rashly. The reopening of the Western Regions trade route is a great achievement. And the emergence of Hexi County also makes people see huge benefits......

Although Cao Peng was dismissed from office, his influence in the northwest still cannot be ignored.

Not to mention, he Lao Tzu served as the assassin of Liangzhou, and now he is a big member. Just his intertwined network in Liangzhou is not to be underestimated. Cao Peng, although he is a prisoner, has an influence that no one dares to despise.

It seems that Xingyang guards Wang Zhi too much, and he has been ordered by Xiahou Yuan.

The Zheng family and the Pan clan hope that through the relationship between Cao Peng, they can obtain some northwest benefits.

In short, everyone has their own thoughts.

"Youxue, Mrs. and Young Lady, have moved to Xingyang.

Now I am waiting at home...... Once you've completed the handover formalities, you can go home and have a look before you talk. ”

The implication is to tell Cao Peng: Don't take it too seriously!

You are three years old, you can come if you want, if you don't want to say it, I will cover it up for you.

Cao Peng nodded, indicating that he understood.

After greeting everyone, they went to Xingyang together.

As for Guo Yong, he led Guo Huanbuluan and others to Xingyang's residence.

In Xingyang, the Zhang family bought a grange with an area of 200 acres, which is located next to the Heyi Workshop. Cao Peng is a prisoner, although everyone doesn't think so, but this necessary procedure still has to be carried out.

Zhang He accompanied Cao Peng and completed the formalities in Xingyang County Government, and then reluctantly returned to Xudu.

Wang Zhi originally planned to hold a banquet in the mansion to receive him, but was politely rejected by Cao Peng. He hadn't been home for two years, hadn't seen his mother, hadn't seen his wife and children. Now, his family has come to Xingyang, which has also made him feel like an arrow......

In this regard, Wang Zhi and others can also understand.

The representatives of the Zheng family and the Pan family agreed with Cao Peng about the time, and after Cao Peng stabilized, they would go to visit Cao's family.

As soon as the greetings ended, Cao Peng, accompanied by Cao Zhen and others, came to Xingyang's residence.

It was late spring, and after a light rain, there was a faint sweet smell of peach and apricot in the air......

The farmland of the Grange is green and full of vitality, which makes people feel happy. Zhang, with Huang Yueying and Xiahou Zhen, has already met the three of Buluan. Especially Zhen Mi, after figuring out the situation, Huang Yueying's second daughter did not embarrass her, but accepted her existence tolerantly. However, when Cao Peng arrived, the second daughter did not appear. It's not that they blame Cao Peng, but that there are really a lot of guests in this hall......

Although they are all their own people, they still have to strictly follow the etiquette.

Cao Peng is not an idle character after all!

In the Northwest before, maybe no one cared.

But this is the Central Plains, and Xingyang is not far from Xudu. Cao Peng caused a huge disaster this time and returned to the Central Plains, and his every move is bound to be noticed. Therefore, it was only the Zhang family who came forward to entertain the arrival of the guests.

"Daddy!"

An immature voice sounded in Cao Peng's ears.

The heart, as if hit by a heavy hammer, gave birth to a strange emotion.

Cao Peng looked at the pink carved Cao Juan on the steps, and when he called him with Cao Yang, who was a little unsteady on his feet, his eyes suddenly turned red.

Cao Wan is almost four years old, and she can already call 'Daddy' clearly.

Cao Yang, although he still seemed vague when he spoke. But the kind of family affection between father and son, father and daughter, made Cao Peng still can't help but shed tears. The two children, especially Cao Yang, have almost no impression of Cao Peng. Cao Juan may be better, but the memory is also very vague, not very clear.

The two hid behind Zhang's family, and at first they were timid and did not dare to show their heads.

But under Zhang's guidance, with Cao Juan's immature 'daddy' call, it seemed that the distance was suddenly shortened.

Cao Peng took three steps and two steps, and stepped forward to hold the two children in his arms.

Then, Cao Yang was very heartless, wiped a soak of urine, and drenched Cao Peng with a cold heart......

Everyone couldn't help but laugh!

Cao Zhang stood at the back, and his nose couldn't help but be a little sour.

"Ziwen, I'm coming over this time, and the lord and lady have repeatedly explained that they will let you go back."

"I ......"

Cao Zhen hugged Cao Zhang and said softly: "I know what you're worried about, but no matter what, you have been away from home for nearly two years, so you know how much your wife misses." I often see her, holding your used items, silently crying! There are some things that I can't say. How can a man who is the Son of Man do this? You often say that Youxue is your teacher, but how can you keep hiding from this hundred lines of filial piety? If this is spread out, won't it make your teacher's face look gloomy? ”

Cao Zhang, silent!

"Go back, before I left, my wife said: Do whatever you like, she will never force you again. Also, didn't you meet a woman in the Northwest? Madame also commanded, as long as you like, then marry me. ”

Cao Zhang's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Then when the gentleman settles down, I'll go back."

Cao Zhen, as relieved, let out a sigh of relief.

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

What a show!

Zhang's hugged Cao Peng, and cried again, tilting his thoughts about his son. and Cao Nan, holding Deng Ai aside, laughing with tears in his eyes.

Husband, all year round.

The younger brother ran to the northwest again.

In the past two years, Cao Nan has been a wife for her daughter, a mother, and even a sister, which can be regarded as heartbreaking. Especially after Cao Peng killed Wei Duan, after the news reached Xu Du, the Zhang family was frightened, which made Cao Nan extremely tired. On the surface, she wants to make a calm appearance to appease her mother; But in her sleep, she often dreamed that Cao Peng was killed, and she appeared in front of her covered in blood, which always woke her up and couldn't sleep at night.

Now, all right!

I can finally settle down.

The younger brother came back unscathed, and this family was full of vitality again.

Sometimes, Cao Nan also secretly tasted it in her heart, feeling that her parents doted on Cao Peng too much, and even ignored her as a daughter.

But when Cao Peng appeared in front of her, all the grievances in Cao Nan's heart disappeared at once.

She looked at Cao Peng with a smile, until Cao Peng stepped forward, hugged her, and whispered in her ear: "Sister, these two years, you have worked hard!" ”

In an instant, the grievances in my heart were never seen again.

"Uncle!"

Deng Ai tugged at Cao Peng's shirt and called loudly.

Cao Peng couldn't help laughing, squatted ***, and picked up Deng Ai.

"Xiao Ai, but she has grown taller!"

For a while, the Cao Mansion was full of laughter.

Zhang's ordered someone to set up a banquet to entertain the guests.

Then he asked Cao Peng to wash up first, change his clothes, and get rid of bad luck.

It was only at this time that Cao Peng was free and met Huang Yueying and Xiahou Zhen. I haven't seen her for two years, and the second daughter looks a lot thinner. The moment they saw Cao Peng, they couldn't help crying and rushed over.

Holding the second daughter in his arms, Cao Peng felt endless guilt in his heart.

"In the past two years, it has been bitter for you!"

He said softly, but it made the second daughter cry more and more......

The bath water has already been boiled.

Huang Yueying and Xiahou Zhen personally served Cao Peng and washed his body. And Buluan Guo Huan and Zhen Mi, although they have just arrived home, they can't be idle. The boiling water of boiling water, the preparation of clothes and the preparation of clothes, are busy.

Cao Peng's body was soaked in the bath bucket, and the pores of his whole body opened all at once.

Four delicate little hands, gently rubbing his back, that feeling, is even more pleasant......

It's nice to be home!

Cao Peng suddenly remembered something, opened his eyes and asked, "By the way, Xiao Ai is not studying, why is he here?" ”
