When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 551 Sun Erlang, who do you think you are!
"Father, I was wrong."

Cao Pi lowered his head decisively, so fast that even Deng Zhan was caught off guard.

Father Cao seemed dissatisfied. He urged, "Instead of admitting your mistake to me, quickly apologize to Mr. Zhang!"

"Mr. Zhang, I..."

Although he was somewhat reluctant, under the urging of his father, Cao Pi still chose to apologize to Zhang Fei.

But before Cao Pi could finish his words, Zhang Fei waved his hand and interrupted him, "No need to apologize, don't you just want to challenge me? Come on, let's give it a try."

"!" Cao Pi's disappointment was swept away, and he looked at Zhang Fei excitedly, "Mr. Zhang, are you serious?!"

"Of course it is real, realer than gold!" Zhang Fei said loudly.

Cao Pi was overjoyed and said yes repeatedly, and even couldn't wait to hold the wooden stick tightly.

Deng Zhan and Sun Quan mourned in their hearts. At such a young age, he had to face one of the most powerful people in the world. How brave he was. Too brave.

Cao's father was filled with anxiety, his old face was full of worry, and he kept persuading Zhang Fei, "Mr. Zhang, my idiot son is ignorant and is talking nonsense. You must not take it seriously."

But Cao Pi actually said: "Father, don't worry. I will definitely show mercy!"

hum.

Cao's father's mood instantly sank to the bottom. He knew that someone was teaching Cao Pi how to practice sword. Although he didn't know who the other person was, the other person took out the same token as the old man who gave Cao Pi to them.

After confirming that the man did not intend to murder Cao Pi, Cao's father turned a blind eye and ignored the matter. He knew that Cao Pi had an extraordinary background and would achieve unlimited success in the future.

But the origin of Mr. Zhang in front of him is also unusual. Based on his many years of experience in dealing with people, it is not difficult to see that the easy-going Mr. Zhang knows Cao Pi. When facing Cao Pi, Mr. Zhang was not surprised, but rather had a somewhat playful attitude.

Fortunately, I didn't have the intention to kill. I shouldn't have the intention to kill.

Cao's father was a little uncertain, but what he was sure of through communication was that Zhang Fei's identity was probably similar to Cao Pi's cousin, no, perhaps even higher.

If this is true, what should Cao Pi do if he offended Zhang Fei in a moment of impulse?
Even if we put this point aside, just looking at Zhang Fei's burly physique, he is no match for Cao Pi!

Isn’t this asking for trouble?

Both privately and publicly, Cao Pi did not want Cao Pi to challenge Zhang Fei, but Cao Pi made such bold statements, saying that he would show mercy to Zhang Fei. Wasn't this just a slap in Zhang Fei's face? Even if he had a good temper, he couldn't stand such a provocation!

Cao Pi's father, who usually didn't want to yell at him, was so anxious that he yelled, "Ridiculous! How can you say that? Go!"

"Alas." Zhang Fei stretched out his hand to interrupt Cao's father, "Lord Cao, there is no need to dissuade me. It seems that I have no choice but to accept this battle today."

Father Cao was like a chicken with its neck strangled. Although his mouth was open, he couldn't utter a word.

After a moment, Cao's father sighed helplessly, "Mr. Zhang, please show mercy."

"Don't worry." Zhang Fei took the wooden stick handed to him by Sun Quan. It must be said that Sun Zhongmou's mind was so deep that Cao Pi could not compare to it.

Deng Zhan and Sun Quan pulled Cao's father back several steps to make room for Cao Pi and Zhang Fei.

For them, the outcome of this battle was no surprise, it was a 19-10 chance - meaning that Zhang Fei could knock down Cao Pi more than ninety times within one stick of incense.

However, Cao Pi, who was completely unaware of this, excitedly started to perform the swordplay. He shouted at Zhang Fei, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang!"

As soon as the words fell, Cao Pi's tense legs instantly exerted force, he pushed hard with his feet, raised the wooden stick, and rushed towards Zhang Fei like a calf out of the pen.

Even Zhang Fei had to admit that Cao Pi at least looked competent.

Cao Pi was overjoyed to see that Zhang Fei was completely unguarded.

It's a flaw no matter how you look at it!
Very good, just like this, I knocked the sword out of Mr. Zhang's hand in one go!

Cao Pi's mind was highly concentrated, his eyes fixed on Zhang Fei's sword-holding hand.

Seeing it getting closer
It's now!

Cao Pi's eyes fixed, and he quickly changed the sword he held with both hands, and changed it to a chopping sword to attack Zhang Fei's right wrist!
Won!

Seeing that Zhang Fei was unmoved, Cao Pi thought that Zhang Fei had been fooled by his fake trick. Countless joy and excitement surged from the bottom of his heart, and the feeling of pride made him dizzy.

It's a pity that this feeling comes and goes quickly.

As his 'sword' slashed forward, something unexpected happened.

Zhang Fei's right wrist, which was originally firmly fixed by his eyes, disappeared and he let the "sword" fall downwards.

Just as Zhang Fei's sword was about to fall to the ground, Zhang Fei grabbed the hilt of the sword with his left hand.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fei's voice rang in Cao Pi's ears, "Hey, I'm going to hit you on the head."

Cao Pi secretly thought, not good, Mr. Zhang is too fast, it’s too late!

The fact was just as Cao Pi thought. Zhang Fei swung his sword so fast that he had no time to react. Even if he wanted to raise his sword to block Zhang Fei's blow, it was in vain.

"Snapped"

As Zhang Fei swung his sword, it successfully hit Cao Pi's body, causing him to groan in pain.

only.
Why was the thigh hit?!
Isn't it going to hit the head?!

Before Cao Pi could figure out what was going on, Zhang Fei's deep voice rang out again.

"I'm going to spank you in the thigh!"

We can't let him succeed!
Cao Pi hurriedly returned to defend, but this time it was again in vain.

Zhang Fei's 'sword' hit Cao Pi in the abdomen, and this time the pain made him cry out, "Ah!"

"I'm going to spank you in the thigh!"

Oh no, he’s going to hit me in the abdomen!

Cao Pi raised the sword to his abdomen, however.
"Snapped"

Zhang Fei's sword landed firmly on Cao Pi's thigh, causing Cao Pi to scream in pain: "Ah!"

"Hit your belly"

"what!"

"Hit you in the head"

"what!"

Every time Zhang Fei swung his sword, he would shout. Sometimes the place he hit was what he said, and sometimes it was completely different.

No matter how Cao Pi defended, it was useless, Zhang Fei's "sword" could always hit Cao Pi.

Seeing all this, Sun Quan's Adam's apple could not help but slide, and he spit out mouthfuls of saliva. No, the three generals did this on purpose, right? ! It must be intentional! Captain Cao's son must have offended the three generals, and the three generals are deliberately taking revenge, right? !

"Hmm?" Zhang Fei, who was so engrossed in playing the test, raised his eyebrows. Why did he always feel that someone was criticizing him?

He glanced back and frightened Sun Quan so much that he dared not move.

Cao's father felt extremely distressed when he saw Cao Pi screaming in pain after being beaten. He shouted at Cao Pi, "Pi'er, why don't you just admit defeat!"

However, Cao Pi remained indifferent, as if he did not hear his father's words.

This made Cao's father extremely anxious. He looked at Deng Zhan with a pleading look, "Mr. Deng, please...please ask Mr. Zhang for mercy for me." Ask for mercy? Me? I'll ask the three generals for you?

Deng Zhan had a strange look on his face. Not to mention that Zhang Fei did not use any heavy hands, just talking about the matter of pleading for mercy. How could he be so worthy and capable? The other party was the three generals, and he was just a lieutenant, not even a county lieutenant. Being able to speak in front of the three generals was already considered patient by the three generals. Now he was asked to plead for Cao Pi to the three generals? I'm afraid that only Captain Cao could do it in person!
Deng Zhan had no choice but to comfort Cao's father, "Mr. Cao, please rest assured. Mr. Zhang knows his limits. This is just to kill Mr. Cao's temper. If Mr. Cao continues like this, he will cause trouble in the future, and it will harm Mr. Cao and his family."

"This..." Cao's father opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He knew Deng Zhan was right, but he couldn't bear to watch Cao Pi being beaten.
Of course Deng Zhan was also a little confused. He didn't know why Zhang Fei didn't decide the outcome quickly, and even seemed to enjoy it.

If Zhang Fei knew what Deng Zhan was thinking, he would definitely say, "Cao Pi is worse than his father. In order to become emperor, he made peace with the nobles and created the Nine-Rank System. But in the end, he tried to guard against Cao's relatives like he was guarding against thieves, and Sima the old thief actually took advantage of him. I come from a humble background, so I'll tell you whether this kind of person should be fought or not!"

As Zhang Fei chopped Cao Pi's sword away with one strike, the test came to an end.

This time, Cao Pi had fought enough in front of Zhang Fei. After all, he was just a child under ten years old.

Killing the other party's blind confidence would be enough, but what he didn't expect was that Cao Pi could hold out for so long.

Originally, he wanted to pair Sun Quan and Cao Pi together.

Now it seems
Zhang Fei glanced at the dazed Cao Pi and gave up the idea.

Father Cao quickly ran forward and said, "Pi'er, are you okay?"

Cao Pi sat down on the ground. Although he was saying "It's okay, I'm fine", his eyes were staring blankly at the wooden stick that was hit to the ground.

He never expected that Zhang Fei was so strong.

He was so strong that he didn't even have a chance to resist. The only impression he had was pain, pain, pain, and then... then he was defeated.

No, how could any random guest be so outrageously strong?
Could it be that he is too weak?
Cao's mother, who had just returned from delivering food to Cao's eldest son, saw Cao Pi slumped on the ground, and quickly put down the basket in her hand. She ran to Cao Pi, patted his trouser legs, muttered something like "Don't be afraid", and then pulled Cao Pi back home.

"Mr. Zhang, my wife is a country woman who doesn't know etiquette. I hope you can forgive me." Cao's father said ashamedly.

Zhang Fei waved his hand, "Alas, that's wrong. Your wife loves her son dearly, and this matter is also my fault. I used to be a butcher, and I will kill a pig for Cao Jun to make up for it."

Deng Zhan suddenly had an idea, "I'll go buy a pig!"

"No need, no need, Mr. Deng, there is no need to spend money." Father Cao wanted to stop Deng Zhan.

However, Deng Zhan was too fast and jumped out while Cao's father was speaking.

After a while, Deng Zhan returned to Cao's house carrying the skinny pig.

Zhang Fei became interested, rolled up his sleeves, picked up a knife, and subconsciously castrated the pig.

The disappearance of the second brother Zhui shocked Cao's father and the villagers who were watching, and they all felt a chill in their lower body.

Zhang Fei, who saw everyone's reaction, couldn't help but shake his head, thinking to himself: It's been so long and the pig castration hasn't spread here yet?

After asking, I learned that it was not that everyone did not know about pig castration. Pig castration had caused a sensation in the county several years ago. It was the old man who raised the pig who did not believe in pig castration.

Deng Zhan saw that the old man was old, so he paid for the pig.

Deng Zhan's face changed slightly. Oh no, his good intentions turned out to be a bad result.

Zhang Fei shook his head and sighed, "What a pity! Even if it is castrated now, it will not taste good. It needs to be raised for some time."

Someone among the villagers shouted, "Then just take care of it for a while!"

"Mr. Cao, why don't you take care of them for a while? Do you have enough food stored at home?" Zhang Fei looked at Cao's father.

Cao's father chuckled and said, "Thanks to General Wei, the county has collected much less land tax since the defeat of the two Yuan brothers. It's enough to raise pigs."

"That's good."

Afterwards, Zhang Fei and Deng Zhan stayed at Cao's house for a meal. Originally, Cao's father wanted to spend money to buy chicken to entertain Zhang Fei and Deng Zhan.

However, he had to give up in the face of Zhang Fei's stern refusal. He asked Cao's mother to prepare daily meals according to Zhang Fei's request.

It was a very ordinary millet rice, not even shelled, and it was very harsh on the throat when eaten.

Only one dish contained the leek that Deng Zhan was familiar with; the others were more like wild vegetables from the mountains, and most importantly, they tasted bland and bitter.

Zhang Fei ate with relish, while Deng Zhan pinched his nose and managed to eat more.

Sun Quan was in trouble. He chewed the millet and unknown vegetables painfully. What on earth were these? Why was it so unpalatable? !
A disgusting taste exploded in his mouth, and he would have vomited it out if Zhang Fei hadn't been there.

But Cao Pi ate with gusto.

No, what’s going on with this son of Captain Cao?
After this meal, there was one good thing and one bad thing for Sun Quan.

The good thing was that Zhang Fei and Deng Zhan left in a hurry, the bad thing was that he was left in this village.

The daily food alone was difficult for him to swallow.

Seeing that Sun Quan didn't eat much every time, Cao Pi couldn't help but feel puzzled. How strange, how strange. The food at home is not as good as the meat sent by the historian, but it is not bad. My mother said that during the war, many people couldn't eat corn. Why did Brother Quan eat so little every time? Could it be that my second brother deliberately left it for me?

Since Cao Pi was beaten by Zhang Fei, he is no longer as confident as he was before. As for why he called Sun Quan his second brother, first of all, Zhang Fei said that Sun Quan's name was Sun Erlang, and secondly, as the second son of the Cao family, it was reasonable for him to call the new Sun Quan his brother.
Since Sun Quan's name was Sun Erlang, calling him second brother was appropriate.

While urinating at night, Cao Pi overheard the conversation between his father and mother.

"My dear, is it because the food I cooked is not to Sun Erlang's liking?"

"Hey, Sun Erlang must have a distinguished family background. Look at the clothes he wore when he first came here. I'm afraid I can't afford them even if I sell myself. Not to mention Sun Erlang's daily food!"

"So what should we do?"

"Let's pound the rice tomorrow morning. I think it will taste better if we remove the husk from the corn."

舂米
Cao Pi was distracted for a moment. Pounding rice means putting corn into a stone mortar and pounding it with a pestle to remove the husk or crush it. The corn after shelling is so delicious!
Thinking of this, Cao Pi's mouth began to water and he began to look forward to tomorrow.

However, on the second day, Cao Pi fell silent as he looked at the unshelled corn rice in the bowl.

Didn't we agree to remove the shell? !
His eyes darted around and found that the bowls of Cao's father, Cao's mother, and Cao Dalang all looked the same as before, except for Sun Quan's bowl, which contained golden shelled corn.

Cao Pi felt instantly dissatisfied, but when he saw the blisters on his mother's palms, he swallowed his dissatisfaction.

Sun Quan naturally noticed Cao Pi's dissatisfaction. If it were in the past, he would definitely generously distribute millet to win Cao Pi's favor.

but.
Things are different now. None of these things are important when it comes to having a good meal!
Sun Quan ate corn in big mouthfuls, and his look of wolfing down the food did not look like the son of a wealthy family at all.

After finishing the meal, Sun Quan expressed his gratitude and asked, "Anything else?"

Cao's father and mother looked at each other, and then shook their heads at Sun Quan.

Cao Pi was furious. Although the county reduced the land rent, it was not easy for ordinary people to make a living. Even with Zhang Fei's financial support, most of it was spent on feeding the pigs.

After a busy day, his mother and father would come home tired and help Sun Quan pound rice. It would be fine for one day, but how could he bear it every day!

This Sun Erlang is so abominable!
Cao Pi was so angry that he gritted his teeth. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

Anger was building up in Cao Pi's chest. He couldn't bear it any longer. He slapped the table and yelled, "Sun Erlang, who do you think you are?"

Then he raised his fist and rushed forward, punching Sun Quan like raindrops. Sun Quan fought back with his fists, but he was no match for Cao Pi in his furious state.

Cao's father, Cao's mother, and Cao Dalang were all shocked and rushed forward to pull them away, causing the scene to suddenly become chaotic.

Sun Quan was crying out in his heart, "No, what did I do wrong? Captain Cao's son is a lunatic. A lunatic!"
This... This is just escaping from the tiger's den and entering the wolf's den!

Woohoo.
