Cao Thief

Chapter 621 The Old Friend of Nanyang (22)

Although it was already midnight, Cao Peng did not rest.

Jia Xu prepared an extremely generous gift for him, which was comprehensive information on the population, economy, military and other aspects of Nanyang County in the past two years.Some are recorded on bamboo slips, while others are recorded on paper sold by Fuzhilou.There are all kinds of things, adding up to more than 100 catties.Although Cao Peng had already read a lot of materials about Nanyang County in Xudu, the ones prepared by Jia Xu were undoubtedly richer, more comprehensive, and more accurate.So, after dinner, Cao Peng stayed in his bedroom and read these materials. Before he knew it, it was already midnight.

Because Nanyang County is now in chaos and is a war-torn area, Cao Peng's vigilance has not relaxed at all.

In addition to the white camel soldiers and flying camel soldiers, there is also an unknown and specially trained armed force hidden near Cao Peng's residence.

Cao Peng named it: Anbu.

The so-called Anbu, as the name suggests, cannot be known to others.

Its training content includes a series of content such as assassination, lurking, spying, makeup, and fighting.The training method is mainly based on the special police training method. As for the training content in other aspects, it is specially created in combination with the characteristics of this era.

Special police training, of course, cannot be the same as the training methods of later generations of special forces.

It wasn't that Cao Peng didn't want to follow the special forces training method, but he didn't know exactly what kind of method it was.

Fortunately, he was a policeman, and he almost entered the special police force in his previous life.

He is not unfamiliar with the special police training methods.Moreover, in this era, the means of special police training may be more suitable.At the same time, there were not too many Anbu members. Apart from the ten Anbu warriors who pretended to be servants around Cao Peng, there were more than twenty people in Xingyang, but they hadn't been trained yet.The Anbu's training is extremely complicated and requires long hours of training.

The ten dark fighters around Cao Peng were only qualified after more than two years of training.

And the new batch of dark fighters has just started.The only difference is that from the previous Zhu Dao, another Shi A was added.

Zhu Dao's swordsmanship and fighting seem to be more similar to an upright sword fight.

And Shi A's swordsmanship is obviously better than Zhu Dao's.Although he is lame and stumped, Shi A learned from Wang Yue, dabbled in more types of swordsmanship, and knew specialized assassination swordsmanship.In this regard, it seems more appropriate for Shi A to take over Anbu than Zhu Dao.Originally Cao Peng was going to bring Zhu Dao, but was stopped by Shi A.He needed Zhu Dao to help him familiarize himself with the training methods of dark men, so he left Zhu Dao in Xingyang.

But even so, the ten dark fighters still had astonishing fighting power.

They all seem ordinary, but they have extraordinary power.

When Zhao Yun entered the county, the dark men had already discovered his existence.At the same time, around Cao Peng's house, various organs and messages were set up.As soon as Zhao Yun approached the bedroom, he immediately revealed his Xingzang.Fortunately, Zhao Yun didn't have any malicious intentions, otherwise there would be a fierce battle.

In the courtyard outside the bedroom, a fire suddenly lit up.

Zhao Yun held a long spear, and in the courtyard, there was no fear on his face.

Cao Peng stood on the porch, looking curiously at this legendary hero of the Three Kingdoms.

Zhao Yun and Lu Bu, who is stronger and weaker?No one can tell.But in terms of reputation alone, Zhao Yun is not inferior to Lu Bu, and even faintly overshadows Lu Bu's limelight.

He is eight feet tall, neither fat nor thin.

The physique is not that kind of burly and strong type, but it reveals a palpitating danger.

It's like a cheetah that may attack at any time, just standing there quietly, but it makes people feel an inexplicable pressure...

When Cao Peng heard the name 'Xiahoulan', he vaguely guessed Zhao Yun's identity.

He looked at Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun also looked at him.

Neither of them spoke first, they just stared at each other silently.Pang De quietly stood beside Zhao Yun, with Tiger Roar in his hand lying in front of him.

He could also feel the temperament of a master in Zhao Yun, and he felt an inexplicable tension.

That breath was very similar to Ma Chao.

Pound even thought that if he fought against Zhao Yun, he must be the one who lost in the end... This was something Pound hadn't encountered for a long time, and it made him very curious.This person knows Xia Houlan?Since Ziyou recognized such a master, why didn't he introduce him to Young Master?But judging from the young master's appearance, it seems that he recognizes this person, and even is very familiar with this guy...

"Zhao Yun?"

Cao Peng spoke suddenly.

Zhao Yun smiled slightly, "Young Master Cao."

He did not address Cao Peng's official position, but only called him son.

But don't think that he is surrendering to Cao Peng.The "son" in his mouth has a completely different meaning from the "son" in Pound and others.

Pound and the others called Cao Peng 'son', more out of respect from the heart.

However, the "son" in Zhao Yun's words has a hint of disdain.Obviously, he didn't think Cao Peng had the ability to serve as the prefect of Nanyang.Even, in Zhao Yun's eyes, Cao Peng's ability to achieve what he is today is more due to Cao Cao's support than to himself.

No wonder, who made Cao Peng's age too young?
At least in Zhao Yun's eyes, he is really too young...

"Ling Ming, let everyone back down."

"Son..."

Pang De couldn't help being startled, and quickly wanted to stop him, but Cao Peng waved his hand, saying that there is no need to persuade him.

"Zilong is a gentleman. If he has malicious intentions, there will be rivers of blood flowing in this county tonight... Hehe, not to mention that he has already said that he is here to inquire about Ziyou's situation."

Pound hesitated for a moment, then nodded in response.

The dark warriors and dental soldiers retreated immediately, and fell into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

However, don't think that they really left.They just changed from the state of battle to the state of alert.If Zhao Yun made a slight inappropriate move, these people would come out immediately.As for Pound, he didn't back down, but took a few steps back, still looking on guard.That faint murderous aura made Zhao Yun feel terrified as well.This small county seems to have lax guards, but I didn't expect that there would be such a master.What surprised Zhao Yun the most was the pressure Cao Peng brought to him.

Cao Peng didn't have a weapon in his hand, and he seemed to be standing casually on the porch, but Zhao Yun felt an inexplicable sense of crisis...

That feeling was like a fire.

The flames could explode at any moment and engulf him in it.

This guy, in terms of force alone, is probably on par with the man behind him.

If it is one-on-one, Zhao Yun is sure to win.But a one-on-two, Zhao Yun thinks, is definitely not an opponent...

Not to mention, those guards hiding in the dark.

With Zhang Er's silver spear across his chest, Zhao Yun stepped on yin and yang steps, watching Cao Peng vigilantly.

Cao Peng stepped forward and came down from the porch.When there were more than ten steps away from Zhao Yun, he stopped.

"Gentian, good gun."

Zhao Yun did not answer, still staring vigilantly.

"Hehe, it is said that Ziyou's dragon scale weighs twenty catties."

Ziyou... is it Xiaolan?
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses, who Cao Peng was referring to by Ziyou.Don't get me wrong, Zhao Yun really didn't know that Xia Houlan's nickname was 'Ziyou'.He and Xia Houlan are both from humble backgrounds, so neither has a word.Zhao Yun's fate was better, he worshiped Tong Yuan as his teacher, and was bestowed by Tong Yuan with the word, Zilong.And what about Xia Houlan?Zhao Yun is not so lucky.When he was a teacher, Tong Yuan didn't like him at all.If it wasn't for Zhao Yun's intercession, he wouldn't even be qualified to stay on the mountain to learn art...

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for Tong Yuan to give him his name.

It wasn't until I followed Cao Peng and arrived in Guangling that I had a name.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Yun to know this word.

However, since Cao Peng is familiar with his weapons, it is enough to show how familiar Cao Peng is with him.And this kind of thing, except for Xia Houlan, it is impossible for ordinary people to know.Even Liu Bei doesn't know much about his weapons.

And Xia Houlan, separated for more than ten years.

Except for a few correspondences in the middle, there was no contact again.

Especially in the seventh year of Jian'an, Xia Houlan wrote again, sincerely inviting Zhao Yun to come, but after Zhao Yun sternly refused, the two almost cut off their correspondence.In a flash, it has been more than four years.It is obviously impossible to say that you don't miss your childhood partner.

For Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan is not only his childhood friend, but also his most trusted and closest brother.

The body couldn't help shaking slightly, Zhao Yun took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but when he opened his mouth, his voice was still trembling.

In Zhao Yun's accent, there is a very obvious Changshan accent, with a little bit of Youzhou dialect.

This has a lot to do with his experience. He was born in Zhending, Changshan, and after joining the WTO, he followed Gongsun Zan and fought in Youzhou.The two most important stages of life are spent in these two places.Later, even though he was wandering around and lived in Jingzhou for many years, he still couldn't change his accent.

"Xiaolan, how are you doing now?"

Cao Peng said in a deep voice: "Ziyou is now a lieutenant of the Hexi Commander, stationed in Wuting."

"Wu Ting? Where is it?"

"Uh...it's near Lingwu Valley in Hexi, near Shizui Mountain Pass.

Although the place is a bit remote, it is very important.In addition to serving as the captain of the commanding army, he was also in charge of the Lianbao military mansion, and he was the general of Mobei Zhonglang to resist Xianbei and the Huns.Originally, I came to Nanyang this time and wanted to recruit him.It's just that Ziyou is happy and happy in Wuting now, and he is quite happy to miss Han, so he didn't come.However, he asked me to bring you a letter and a gift.

If Zilong doesn't come today, I'm worrying about how to hand it over.

Now that you're here...hehe, it's just right.

Just wait here for a while, I'll fetch it for you. "

While talking, Cao Peng turned around and left.

Zhao Yun suddenly became nervous, staring at Cao Peng closely, raised the zhanger silver spear slightly upwards.

But the moment he raised his silver gun, an inexplicable murderous aura came from behind him.Pang De's eerie voice reached Zhao Yun's ears, "Don't act rashly, I tell you, there are at least a hundred crossbow arrows pointing at you around here. As long as you give an order, you can shoot random arrows through your heart."

The silver gun hangs down again.

Zhao Yun turned around and glanced at Pound: "Your Excellency is also a hero, why are you here to help the evildoers?"

Upon hearing this, Pound sneered.

"Who will be King Zhou and who will be Wu of Zhou is still unknown.

However, the young master is a hero in the world, how can he be compared with the dog who lives under the fence and loses his family.If it weren't for Ziyou's face today, it's unknown whether you can stand here and speak... A true hero, why talk about others' right and wrong behind their backs? "

Zhao Yun's face turned red all of a sudden...
