A green shirt, a touch of goose yellow.

Cao Peng and Huang Yueying walked on Deng Wei Mountain, overlooking the rain and fog in the distance. The two held hands, and seemed to have returned to the intimacy of being on the bank of the Thorny River, grinding their ears and temples. whispered to each other about the various things after the separation, and couldn't help but feel infinite emotion...... "After Degong heard about it, he was very angry, and he went to Jiangxia to question his uncle.

But you also know that my uncle's surname is so strong that the two still quarrel, and they haven't even had any contact with each other. ”

Huang Yueying explained softly, "My cousin, in fact, is not too bad, but sometimes it ......."

Cao Peng said: "I know! ”

"Speaking of which, why are you in Koto?"

"This ...... Hehe, it's hard to put into words. Cao Peng saw that there was no one left and right, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Who is your father going to visit here?" ”

"Well, it's Jurong Ge Shangshu."

"Ge Shangshu?"

Cao Peng was stunned, a little dazed.

Jiangdong, there are also Shangshu?

"Jurong Ge Deru, have you heard of it?"

"Nope."

"Hee-hee, that's him. Jurong Ge's family, and my family are world friends. Ge Deru's father was Ge Ju, the waiter of the Yellow Gate during the Xiping period. The uncle Zuqiong was the captain at the time, so the two families have always been in contact. Ge Shi's father was once a great Honglu, and later became a scholar. During the Guanghe period, he has been living in seclusion in Wu County. The relationship between my father and Ge Shifu was very good, and it happened that there was an accident at home, so I came to relax. ”

Da Honglu, one of the Nine Qings.

Sure enough, what kind of person is it, what kind of friends do you make.

However, Cao Peng really hadn't heard of the name Ge Deru, and he didn't even know Ge Ju. He knew Huang Qiong, but it was only because he had obtained a dragon bird broadsword supervised by Huang Qiong. Counting it, he was reborn for a year and a half, and he didn't know much about many characters in this era. Moreover, in Cao Peng's impression, there didn't seem to be any celebrities surnamed Ge during the Three Kingdoms period.

So, Cao Peng didn't pay attention.

"Ge Shi's father and ancestor respected Taoism, and his father was infatuated with Huang Lao, so there was an intersection.

Otherwise, many people don't know that Ge Shifu lives in Wu County. He doesn't like to be lively, it's quiet, and there is no intersection. ”

"Actually, I'm here this time, under the pseudonym Xun Peng."

"Xun Peng?"

"Yes, I came to Wu County with Yingchuan Xun Xiuruo and was responsible for protecting Mr. Xiuruo's safety."

"Oh......"

Cao Peng didn't say it too clearly, but he said Xun Yan's name, which surprised Huang Yueying. Although the Jiangxia Huang clan is a Jingxiang clan, it is still inferior to the Yingchuan Xun clan. It is no wonder that since Xun Shu, Yingchuan Xun has produced many talents. There are eight dragons under Xun Shu, and there are three ruoes after the eight dragons. And after the three ruo, there is Xun Yu Xun Gongda who is famous all over the world, and the four generations are virtuous. Compared with the Yingchuan Xun clan, the Jiangxia Huang clan seems to have no one who can handle it since Huang Qiong.

Huang Chengyan is a good old man, and he is quiet and inactive.

Although Huang Zu is Jiangxia Taishou, it doesn't stop there. Now that he has killed You Heng again, I am afraid that this reputation will become even more unbearable...... Therefore, although the Jiangxia Huang clan is entrenched in Jiangxia, its momentum cannot be compared with the Xun clan.

Huang Yueying couldn't help laughing, "Ah Fu, it looks like you're good now...... Otherwise, I won't let you, protect Mr. Huro's safety. ”

"Where there is good, it's just a stain.

After his father arrived in Xudu, he became the supervisor of the Shaofu Zhuye because of the law of making knives; My brother-in-law is just the county magistrate of Haixi County. This time, I was able to follow Mr. Xiuruo because of the recommendation of my brother-in-law. Otherwise...... Mr. Meng Xun can afford to come to Jiangdong to increase his horizons. ”

Cao Pengyan said it lightly, but Huang Yueying was still very happy.

"By the way, how did Gan Ning become the entourage of the father?"

"You mean Brother Gan?"

The two stopped and looked behind them.

But he saw Kan Ze and Gan Ning more than 50 steps behind and were walking slowly along the mountain road.

Cao Peng suddenly remembered that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the relationship between Kan Ze and Gan Ning seemed to be good. According to history, Gan Ning should be a thief on the river now. Otherwise, where does the name of the brocade thief come from? However, it can be seen that his status in Jingzhou is not too high.

Otherwise, he would not have been sent as an entourage.

"Don't underestimate Brother Gan, he is also from a wealthy family."

Huang Yueying seemed to be afraid that Cao Peng would underestimate Gan Ning, and hurriedly reminded: "And Brother Gan's skills are very good, don't offend him." ”

"Hao?"

"yes!"

Seeing Cao Peng's puzzled look, Huang Yueying thought that Cao Peng didn't believe it.

hurriedly explained: "Brother Gan's ancestral family was originally Nanyang, hehe, speaking of which, he is still a fellow villager with you, and his ancestral home is Wuyin. However, his ancestors later lived in Ba County, so it is inevitable that he will have a Ba County accent when he speaks. He was born in Linjiang, Ba County, Gan's family is in Linjiang County, and Yan, Wen, Yang, and Du are collectively known as the five surnames of Linjiang. Linjiang County has a population of about 5,000 households, half of which are from these five surnames. ”

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

5,000 households, which is almost 30,000 people. Half of the population, that is, 15,000 people, and the head of the five surnames, that household is 3,000 people. According to this calculation, the Nagan clan is really a local clan. And it belongs to the kind of very large wealthy family...... "Brother Gan has made a plan, and he was also made up as the county of Shu County."

It's just that he was light on wealth and respected people, and later offended people, so he abandoned his official position and did not do it. also gathered a group of teenagers, in groups, wandering around. He was very famous in Ba County, and I heard him say that in those days, he had a car and a bicycle on foot, and a light boat connection on the water, and wherever he went, he was brilliant. Moreover, his family was rich, and when he stayed, he used splendid splendors to maintain the boats, and when he left, he cut them off and discarded them......"

It can be heard that Huang Yueying admires Gan Ning very much.

Cao Peng couldn't help but be taken aback, and muttered: "But I heard that people call him a Jinfan thief." ”

Huang Yueying grinned and said, "Ah Fu, have you also heard of his nickname?" It was because he was arrogant, and the officials of the city in which he lived, or those with whom he associated, if they treated him politely, would have fellowship with all his heart. If he was rude, he would plunder the other side and even kill the officials and officials. Because he is good at inserting bird feathers and wearing bells, people will call him a brocade thief in Ba County. ”

I'm him!

Almost made me lose face again...... Cao Peng always thought that Gan Ning was born as a water thief.

Unexpectedly, the title of 'Jinfan thief' actually has such a origin.

However, there is no taste in his heart, and the vinegar taste is even stronger, "No matter how powerful it is, isn't it a subordinate now?" ”

This time, Huang Yueying heard the sour taste in Cao Peng's words.

His cheeks were red, and his eyes were like autumn waves, and he glanced at Cao Peng, "Ah Fu, are you unhappy?" ”

"No, I'm not happy."

"But I obviously think you're really upset."

Cao Peng shook his head again and again, "You must be feeling wrong, now that we can meet again in Wu County, how can I be unhappy?" ”

"Because, I've been praising Brother Gan just now."

Huang Yueying smiled secretly, and then said, "Don't get me wrong, Brother Gan treats me like a sister and usually takes good care of me." The reason why he ended up in such a field is because of ...... Alas, in the first year of Xingping, Liu Yan, the assassin of Yizhou, died of illness, and the imperial court sent Hu Mao to take over the post of assassin of Yizhou. At that time, Brother Gan supported the imperial court, so he offended Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou, and was forced to be helpless, so he had to abandon his family and flee from Linjiang County, and returned to Jingzhou with 800 servants. Previously, he had been in Jingzhou and stationed in Xinye.

However, Liu Jingzhou does not like military affairs, so he has always refused to reuse.

Last year, when Cao Gong conquered Huyang, Brother Gan made meritorious contributions, and Liu Jingzhou let him go to Jiangxia. Unfortunately, my uncle didn't like him.

This time, my father came out to relax, and my uncle asked Brother Gan to accompany him all the way. People are very nice, but sometimes they are a little arrogant, which makes people feel that they are not easy to get along with. But after a long time, you will know that he is a good man. When I do things, I am also very serious. ”

From Huang Yueying's words, Cao Peng heard a lot of content.

Turning his head again, he glanced at Gan Ning, who was talking happily with Kan Ze, and Cao Peng suddenly had the intention of wooing him in his heart.

It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow.

Gan Ning is now at a low point in his life, and this trough will continue for a period of time until he turns out of Jiangxia and defects to Soochow. Historically, when did Gan Ning defect to Soochow? Cao Peng can't remember the exact time.

In my impression, it should be before the Battle of Red Cliffs.

And now?

The battle of Guandu has not yet taken place......―――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Deng Wei Mountain, located in the southwest of Wu County.

It is a peninsula that is diagonally inserted into Zhenze, that is, Taihu Lake. According to legend, during the time of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Deng Ji's ancestor, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, Situ Deng Yu lived in seclusion here. Deng Yuguan to Taiwei, so it is named Deng Weishan. The plum blossoms on this mountain are like the sea, and most of the residents here make a living by planting plum blossoms. When the plum blossoms are in full bloom, Deng Weishan is white and covered by a sea of flowers.

From a distance, it looks like a sea of white.

Therefore, some people in later generations called it 'Xiangxue Sea'.

"Ah Fu, the temple in front of you is Situ Temple."

Kan Ze, who is the head snake of the ground, greeted Cao Peng behind him.

"I heard that Situ Temple is very effective, and you can seek fame and marriage...... Hehe, would you like to go in and have a look? ”

Huang Yueying's face turned red.

But looking at her appearance, it seems to be a little excited.

"Why don't we go in and have a look?"

Cao Peng took Huang Yueying's little hand and asked softly.

Huang Yueying nodded, followed Cao Peng's steps, and walked towards Situ Temple together.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Kan Ze said softly: "Xingba, I think Ah Fu and Miss Huang are actually quite a good match, do you say yes?" ”

Gan Ning's eyes narrowed into a slit, and after a while, he replied: "Miss Yueying is very intelligent and talented, and she is quite famous in Jiangxia. Then what virtue does Ah Fu have to be worthy of Miss Yueying? Besides, even if Miss Yueying is willing, Mr. Huang may not agree. ”

Kan Ze smiled, "Xingba, sometimes what you see with this eye may not necessarily be true. ”

"Oh?"

"Ah Fu's future, I'm afraid you and I can't estimate it."

"Really?"

Gan Ning looked at Cao Peng's back suspiciously, revealing a thoughtful look.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― came out of Situ Temple, it was getting late.

Cao Peng and the others embarked on the return journey, and Huang Yueying looked very happy along the way, and the smile on her face never disappeared. She and Cao Peng held hands and walked along the shore of Zhenze Lake. By this time, the rain had stopped, and the sunset reflected the horizon of the lake, reflecting the lake in a fiery red, and the scenery was extremely gorgeous.

"Huh?"

Kan Ze suddenly stopped and looked towards the pier on the shore of the lake.

"Brother Kan, why don't you leave?"

Cao Peng turned around suspiciously and asked Kan Ze.

"Look ......"

Kan Ze finger dock direction.

Looking in the direction of Kan Ze's finger, he saw a small boat moored on the pier. Several men stepped out of the boat, surrounded a teenager, and hurried towards a carriage. The young man was not too tall, his appearance was very thoughtful, and he was quite official in his steps.

"What's wrong?"

Cao Peng didn't see anything wrong and couldn't help but ask.

Kan Ze said: "That's Captain Fengyi. ”

"Captain Fengyi?" Cao Peng was stunned, "Who is it?" Isn't it amazing? ”

Kan Ze glanced at Cao Peng angrily, "Captain Fengyi is Wu Hou's brother, can you say it?" ”

"You mean?"

Cao Peng sighed in his heart, but he didn't ask any further.

After enjoying the sunset with Huang Yueying by the lake, the four of them embarked on the road back. Back in Wu County, it was already completely dark, and Cao Peng sent Huang Yueying to Ge Deru's residence, only to find that this Ge Mansion was actually far from the post station, not particularly far.

"Ah Fu, do you have to be free tomorrow?"

Cao Peng smiled: "It shouldn't be fine." ”

"Then we'll go boating tomorrow, okay?"

"Of course!" Cao Peng smiled and nodded, "Then I'll wait for you at the dock tomorrow." ”

Huang Yueying happily agreed, and told Cao Peng about the time, and then walked to the gate of Gefu. When she walked to the gate, she stopped again and waved her hand at Cao Peng. Cao Peng stood at the corner of the alley with a smile, waved goodbye to Huang Yueying, and looked at her figure and did not enter the gate of Gefu. Then, he and Kan Ze walked along the wet alley in the direction of the post station...... "Brother Kan, Captain Fengyi is back, you seem very strange?" ”

Captain Fengyi is Sun Quan.

It's just that Cao Peng can't understand why Kan Ze is so serious.

Kan Ze replied in a low voice: "Since you know the identity of Captain Fengyi, you must also know that Captain Fengyi is still serving as the head of Yangxian now." ”

Cao Peng nodded, "I naturally know this." ”

"Then do you know, why did Wu Hou want Captain Fengyi to be the head of Yangxian?"

"This ...... Is there something else? ”

Kan Ze said: "Yang Xian, hoard a large number of baggage. Wu Hou had already had the intention of sweeping Danyang, so he began to prepare last year and hoarded grain and grass in Yangxian. Today, Wu Hou is stationed in Liyang, and Yang Xian is responsible for supplying the heavy grain and grass for the entire Danyang war, and has a great responsibility. What is the reason why Captain Fengyi suddenly returned to Wu County secretly at this time? I was just strange because of this. ”

"Uh......"

Cao Peng fell silent.

Judging from Sun Quan's posture when he went ashore just now, it was indeed a secret return.

Could it be that something important happened in Wu County? Unexpectedly, Sun Quan, who was able to force him, gave up the Danyang war and hurriedly returned from Yangxian?

Kan Ze's doubts are not unreasonable.

But the ingenuity in this is not something that Cao Peng can figure out at once!
