Long Xiang shook his head and reminded Chen Ying: "Since the Chen family has a good relationship with Zhang Liao, Dongcheng can go to Hefei by water, as long as you find a big boat to wade in the water, Yuanlong will not suffer from turbulence." ”

"If it weren't for the general's reminder, I almost forgot about this stubble, thank you so much!" Chen Ying bowed.

Chen Ying hurried back to Dongcheng, and in less than ten days, the north ship docked at Hefei Wharf.

Long Xiang was from a humble background before, even if Han Yin had been to Xiapi as an envoy, he had no chance to get acquainted with Chen Deng.

Only a few years later, Long Xiang started from scratch on his own, maneuvering among various forces in Huainan, reaching the same height as Chen Deng.

Gathering in Hefei to greet each other, Long Xiang and Chen Deng looked at each other for a long time.

The real Chen Deng is similar to what Long Xiang thinks in his heart.

He was also tall and thin, with high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and a sparsely trimmed beard, probably caused by illness, and his sallow face was slightly haggard.

As the so-called Xiangru Xinsheng, Long Xiang is in his early twenties, and his gestures show self-confidence, at this time he is a small prince of one side, and has an enviable second bridge.

All kinds of factors add up to make Long Xiang's face glow.

Chen Deng is exactly forty this year, and he seems to see the light in Long Xiang, and he also sees the shadow of himself a few years ago.

At that time, he helped Cao Cao to destroy Lu Bu with a lot of wisdom, which was really high-spirited.

Such a person will have no ambitions?

Chen Deng didn't believe it.

Long Xiang used to only live in the information of the Chen family, and taking advantage of the opportunity to recuperate and stay in Hefei to recuperate, Chen Deng planned to get to know this young man who was similar to himself.

After being sent to Hua Tuo Medical Center for consultation, the Chen brothers were settled in the post house to live, and the treatment and conditioning period of half a month to one month was determined.

On the night of coming to Hefei, Chen Deng called Chen Ying to the couch before resting, and Zhengse instructed: "Second brother, Long Xiang is not a simple person, and his achievements in just a few years are staggering.

Chen Ying's face was full of curiosity: "How to understand?" ”

"It's natural to look more, ask more, and think more."

Chen Deng stroked his sparse beard and explained, and immediately said his plan: "In a few days, my situation will be better, and I will come to the door to talk face-to-face under the guise of gratitude, and you will take advantage of the daily effort to go out to get medicine, and then walk around the city more to understand the situation, focusing on exploring the things about Long Xiang. ”

"Brother, I'm afraid this is difficult." Chen Ying's face was embarrassed.

Chen Deng was puzzled and asked: "Why?" ”

"Hefei is different from other cities, you see the people in the city happy, that's because they have an identity number, and they can deal with patrol officers and soldiers at any time, while outsiders don't have this thing, so their movement is very restricted."

Chen Ying recounted with a bitter face, and showed up to tell what happened to him, and said that he was almost sent to work in the new city.

Even the famous man You Heng worked for half a year, and Chen Ying, as the second son of the Chen family in Xuzhou, could not accept to work with the head of Qian.

Chen Deng half-squinted his eyes and muttered to himself: "This is the desirable place, this Hefei really hides a lot of good things, since the second brother has palpitations, then you can use your eyes to observe and not move your mouth, we are now guests in Hefei, I believe that Long Xiang will give the Chen family a few thin noodles." ”

"Okay." Chen Ying's head should be lowered.

After a few days of Hua Tuo's conditioning, Chen Deng's face improved significantly, so he planned to visit Long Xiang.

Chen Deng is also a county guard, and he thinks that it is inappropriate to come to the door recklessly with gifts, so according to the rules of officialdom, he first wrote down a letter of worship and asked the post officials to pass it on.

Wait for Long Xiang to agree to go again, both sides have their own preparations, so as not to be so abrupt.

It was the end of June and the middle of summer, and the whole Huainan was taken care of by the sun.

Occasional showers don't relieve the heat, but rather raise the heat on the surface.

The two pregnant women in the back house, the eldest sister Qiao Wei was already pregnant at this time, and the little bridge was no different from ordinary people because of the short time, but the two sisters lost their appetite because of the hot weather.

Chen asked people to prepare plum milk (sour plum soup) to cool off, but Qiao Wan was too sour to drink it, and only Qiao Wei could drink it, so Long Xiang took advantage of this time to 'develop new dishes'.

Long Xiang lived alone to nearly thirty years old in his previous life, and he often learned to cook according to short videos when he stopped work and rested, and his cooking skills did not dare to say how outstanding he was, but he really had a lot of tricks, but at this time, the restricted ingredients were insufficient, and Erqiao was also full of food.

After receiving the post, Long Xiang put down his rolling pin and went out as a farewell to the second bridge.

Long Xiang had the heart to make friends with Chen Deng, so he didn't plan to let the 'patient' come to the door, he took a small basket of courgettes (cucumbers) and a pot of rice wine, and went straight to the post house in the afternoon.

It is also a raw food, cucumber is much healthier than raw fish tart, in order to find a partner for cucumber, Long Xiang also deliberately made preserved eggs.

It's just that preserved eggs are hair, and they are not suitable for Chen Deng to eat at this time, otherwise they will be a snack if they are simply mixed together.

Hearing that Long Xiang came to the post house in person, Chen Deng, who was waiting for the letter, did not expect it.

He was originally dressed casually in the room to cool off, and it took a while to tidy up his clothes before going out to greet guests.

The windows in the room were open and stuffy, so Long Xiang led Chen Deng to sit under the outdoor corridor, and asked people to pat the cucumbers they brought, and the two of them drank with the cucumbers.

"I asked Mr. Hua yesterday, and he said that with Yuanlong's recovery, he should be able to recover in ten days, and it should be okay to use a small amount of rice wine."

"The guest is as he pleases, even if he can't drink, I will sacrifice my life to accompany him."

"Hehe, Yuanlong is really temperamental."

Long Xiang used wine to divert the topic and told Chen Deng some old things about Xuzhou, which soon aroused the empathy of the other party.

After some greetings and sighs, Chen Deng suddenly stood up and bowed down, and said: "Chen Deng can pick up this life, it all depends on Yunqi to take Mr. Hua to Hefei, if he is still stranded in Jiangdong, I will be dead now."

"Yuanlong, don't say that, human life has its own destiny, even if Mr. Hua doesn't come to Hefei, you will definitely save the day."

Although Long Xiang was polite to Chen Deng, he agreed with Chen Deng's point of view in his heart, thinking that Chen Deng and You Heng were both influenced by him.

If he hadn't traveled through history to change, Chen Deng should have died of illness in the past few years, he likes to eat raw fish and didn't deworm regularly, who will die early if you don't die early?

Long Xiang's understanding of Chen Deng mainly comes from the evaluation of the TV series Cao Cao: 'Chen Yuanlong is in the midst of stormy waves, and he is still in the tide. ’

The performance in the early stage was eye-catching, and it disappeared inexplicably in the later stage.

There is only one explanation for early death.

Seeing that Long Xiang was serious, Chen Deng was also bluffed and difficult to refute after hearing it.

In fact, it is the skill that Long Xiang has practiced in the workplace, and he seems to be very sincere whether he is true or false.

"Whether it is the mandate of heaven or man-made, my gratitude must not be less, my brother has mentioned money and food funding, but unfortunately it was rejected by Yunqi, Hefei is really not lacking?"

"Hehe, there are many princes in this world, that is, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, how can there be no shortage of money and food? It's just that I want to make friends with Yuanlong, and I don't want to negotiate a deal. ”
