Cao Thief

Chapter 566 Jingzhou Prodigy (12)

Xudu, Huanfu.

With the promotion of Madam Huan's status, the Langya Huan clan gradually gained a firm foothold in Xudu.

Mrs. Huan would occasionally come here to relax and discuss with her family some things that are not humane.In the garden, peaches are red and apricots are white, competing for beauty.And the bright sunshine, sprinkled on people, also makes people feel extremely comfortable.

"Cao Peng, have you passed Hangu?"

Mrs. Huan stood in the gazebo, looking at the beautiful scenery in the garden, but her face was a little unsightly.

"Yes, according to the itinerary, we should be arriving in Luoyang soon."

The young man stood with his hands down, his expression extremely respectful.

However, when he mentioned Cao Peng, hatred flashed in his eyes.

His name is Huanfang, and he is also a member of Mrs. Huan's clan.

And his elder brother is also the mysteriously missing Huanping.Huanping suddenly disappeared, and everyone in the Huan family remained silent, as if there was no such person.However, after all, Mrs. Huan must have someone of her own by her side, so she found Huanping's brother, Huanfang.To Mrs. Huan, Huanfang respected her very much, and she dared not have the slightest bit of hatred...

However, the inexplicable disappearance of the elder brother is self-evident.

Huanfang vaguely knew that Huanping had visited Liangzhou before he disappeared.

He is a smart man, and he guessed the clue at once.He couldn't, and didn't dare to resent Mrs. Huan, so he naturally transferred the resentment in his heart to Cao Peng.He firmly believed that Huanping's death had a lot to do with Cao Peng.

Mrs. Huan sighed, showing a complicated expression.

As if talking to himself, he said softly, "It's a miscalculation!"

When she learned that Cao Peng had killed Wei Duan, she knew that something would happen to Cao Peng.Especially from Cao Cao's side, Mrs. Huan was very angry when she learned that Cao Peng was dismissed from office.According to her idea, Cao Peng should lead the army in the northwest and gradually accumulate strength.When Cao Chong grows older, she will try to get Cao Peng a general title, and then help Cao Chong to fight for the position of heir.However, when Cao Peng killed Wei Duan, it was tantamount to ruining her previous arrangements... How could Mrs. Huan not feel annoyed by this?
Therefore, on the matter of Cao Peng, Mrs. Huan kept silent, and even drove Wang Shuang away from Cao Chong's side and drove him back to Cao's mansion.

She believed that Cao Peng would be able to recover.

But she wants to warn Cao Peng!
Otherwise, it's really not a good thing for this guy to cause trouble everywhere.

If it wasn't for Cao Peng's reputation there, if it wasn't for the reaction of all parties after the accident, Mrs. Huan even wanted to kick Cao Peng away, and never asked about it.Unexpectedly, Cao Ji became the governor of Liangzhou.

At first, she also heard this kind of wind.

But to be honest, Mrs. Huan just took it as a joke...

Cao Ji didn't start to read until he was in his 30s, and he didn't have much status in the court, so why should he be the governor of Liangzhou?
Well, you said that Cao Ji is the captain of the city gate!

But anyone who understands can see that Cao Ji, the captain of the city gate, is not a real name.

The real power is in the Sikong Mansion, in the hands of Cao Cao.And Cao Ji is just a puppet, basically ignoring the affairs of the captain of the city gate!However, the final result surprised Mrs. Huan.Cao Ji really took up the post of Inspector of Liangzhou, and even the Guanzhong gentry kept silent about this appointment...

Mrs. Ring is smart!

But it's a woman after all.

Since the beginning of the world, China has been governed by women for 5000 years, so there must be disasters.

It can be said that apart from Wu Zetian, the first female emperor through the ages, there are few successful models.

Mrs. Huan is a woman, smart, talented and knowledgeable, and knows how to read people's hearts.

However, women's innate limitations make Mrs. Huan pay more attention to immediate interests in certain matters.When Cao Peng lost his military power and was dismissed from office, Mrs. Huan felt panic.At the same time, the temperament shown by Cao Peng also made her feel a little out of control.So when the incident happened, Mrs. Huan actually made the decision to stand by and watch.Rather than saying that she wanted to teach Cao Peng a lesson, it would be better to say that she was disappointed in Cao Peng.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the situation changed.

This caught Mrs. Huan by surprise, and she felt an inexplicable regret...

"Cangshu, how's the situation?"

"The prince has been quiet for a while. However, after the arrival of the envoy from Jingzhou, the prince and Liu Xian's nephew seem to be very close. Recently, they often sing together. Early this morning, he and Xun Yu went to the post station together. "

"Liu Xian's nephew...you mean that prodigy from Jingzhou, Zhou Buyi?"

"Exactly!"

A look of joy flashed in Mrs. Huan's eyes.

Cang Shu finally started to manage his power!

Ever since Sima Lang took over as Cao Zhi's staff, Mrs. Huan has felt tremendous pressure.

Sima Yi before, Sima Lang now...

Mrs. Bian seems to have made up her mind to win over the tyrants of the gentry.

In contrast, although Cao Chong is loved by Cao Cao, due to his age, he is destined to be ignored by the nobles.

Jingzhou gentry!

Although the distant water cannot save the nearby fire, it can be considered a powerful party after all.

And that Liu Xian, don't drive for Jingzhou, is Liu Biao's staff.It's just that Liu Xian seems to be more inclined to Cao Cao. He has persuaded Liu Biao many times to join Cao Cao, but Liu Biao refused.This time, the reason why Liu Xian came to Jingzhou was at the order of Liu Biao.The reason... is very simple!Cao Cao captured Jizhou, and Liangzhou Dading made Liu Biao feel panic.

He had a lot of friction with Cao Cao before.

Now Cao Cao's power is getting stronger and stronger, and the trend of unifying the north is becoming more and more obvious.

Liu Biao was a little scared, so he sent Liu Xian to Xudu to make friends with Cao Cao... This Liu Xian, who is good at the art of Huang Lao, is proficient in the laws and regulations of the Han family, is a noble family in Lingling, has a lot of prestige in Jingzhou, and is highly regarded by Liu Biao.He came here this time and brought his nephew with him.Liu Xian's nephew, whose name is Zhou Buyi, is 14 years old.

Zhou Buyi has few talents, is clever and fast, and is known as a child prodigy.

When he came to Xudu this time, Cao Cao appreciated him very much. He once wanted to marry his eldest daughter Cao Xian to Zhou Buyi, but Zhou Buyi refused.

reason?

can not say it clearly!

The idea of ​​a genius is always unpredictable.

However, Zhou Buyi and Cao Chong are very suitable.There is a five-year age difference between the two, but they are both extremely talented, intelligent and fast-moving characters.So after meeting each other, they got very close, and after going back and forth, they became close friends.

Mrs. Huan was also happy with such a result, so she ignored it.

At the beginning of the tenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao appointed Liu Xian as the prefect of Wuling, but left Zhou Buyi in Xudu.

Originally, Cao Cao wanted Zhou Buyi to live in Sikong Mansion, but Zhou Buyi refused and stayed in the official post all the time.

Mrs. Huan said: "Cang Shu is not young, it's rare to have a bosom friend.

After all, it is not common for Zhou Buyi to live in an official post... In this way, you should spend some effort to find him a place to live.In this case, it is also convenient for those children to move around.Cangshu in the province always has to be watched by someone when he goes in and out..."

Some people, of course, refer to Mrs. Bian.

Huanfang bowed to accept the order, "I'll make arrangements right away."

However, Mrs. Huan immediately frowned, "Why didn't Deng Ai go?"

"Well... the villain has heard some clues. It seems that when the prince and Zhou Buyi met last time, Zhou Buyi criticized Cao Peng. That boy Deng Ai and Zhou Buyi had an argument, and the prince seemed to help After Zhou Buyi said a few words, Deng Ai and Shizi quarreled. After that, Deng Ai and Shizi seldom moved around!

Ma'am, the villain has something in his heart, and he doesn't know whether to say it or not.

I know Madam thinks highly of Cao Peng, but...Deng Ai is just the son of a petty official, so he dares to flirt with the prince, and almost made a move, which is really inappropriate.If you want me to say, you should punish that kid well. "

Mrs. Huan's heart moved, her eyes flashed, and she glanced at Huanfang.

"Zi Lan, there are some things you should say, and some things you shouldn't say. You have to know for yourself."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Huanfang trembled in fright, but he hesitated for a moment, and said boldly: "The villain deserves death for his slip of the tongue... However, I heard one more thing, this The next time Cao Peng returned, Huang Xuer accompanied him all the way."

Mrs. Huan Rou Ning clenched the railing tightly, her joints suddenly turned white.

She was silent for a moment, then said softly: "I see...you should settle Zhou Buyi's residence first."

"Here!"

Huanfang didn't dare to say anything more, she bowed and retreated.

Mrs. Huan stood alone in the gazebo, but did not move for a long time.

Cao Peng, what is your plan?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++
"Ah!"

Cao Peng sneezed suddenly while on the horse.

He rubbed his nose and subconsciously tightened his robe.

"Teacher, are you okay?"

Cao Peng glanced at Cao Zhang, smiled and waved his hands, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's nothing, I guess someone scolded me."

"Where does this come from?"

"Ziwen, you are so ignorant.

There is a saying in my hometown, if you sneeze once, someone scolds you; if you sneeze twice, someone misses you. "

"What about three sneezes?"

Cao Peng straightened his face, "Go and see Mr.

Cao Zhang couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

After laughing, he said sternly, "If I know anyone who dares to scold Mr., I will not be kind to him and let it go."

Cao Peng also laughed!

He reined in his horse and looked up.

Going forward, it is the revolving door, one of the eight Luoyang passes.

After leaving Liangzhou, he went straight to Chang'an without further delay.Unexpectedly, he didn't know until he arrived in Chang'an that Cai Yan had gone back to Guzang three days ago!The two passed each other, but failed to meet.This also made Cao Peng feel somewhat lost.When Cai Yan returned to Guzang, she seemed to be expressing her inner thoughts to him.

She will not follow Cao Peng and return to the Central Plains.

Cao Peng is a little sad!

The words of his father Cao Ji cannot be taken as true.

With Cai Yan's background, even if she married an ordinary person as the main wife, she would not make him a concubine, it was a matter of face.Although Cai Yong is dead, his reputation still lives on.Even though Cai Yan is a second wife, as Cai Yong's daughter, how could she marry someone as a concubine?Cao Peng had no choice but to ask someone to bring a letter back, thanking Cai Yan for his help.

Afterwards, he stayed in Chang'an for a day, then went east out of Hangu and went straight to Luoyang.

After passing the revolving door, it is the tiger prison.

Further east is Xingyang...

Cao Peng suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion, and immediately turned around to look, only to see the soldiers on the official road forming a long dragon, mighty and mighty.

Nearly thirty carriages lined up along the way.

There are three hundred white camels with spectacular plastic surgery, and two teams of flying camels protect the two wings.

Ahead, three hundred cavalry led the way.At the back of the team, there are [-] Cao troops pressing down...

Where is this escorting prisoners?It is clear that the army is moving out!
Cao Peng couldn't help laughing, turned his head and said, "Ziwen, have you ever seen such a huge escort?"

Cao Zhang was taken aback, but couldn't help but burst out laughing!
