Tsukatora

The tranquility of the small mountain village was suddenly broken.

A group of people wearing bright clothes and angry horses came to the village, which aroused the curiosity of many people. However, the villagers quickly guessed the purpose of this group of people. Wolongtan was originally a remote small village, but due to Hu Zhao's move

An academy was built here, making this small mountain village no longer as remote as it used to be. In fact, some people come here every year to seek Hu Zhao's apprenticeship. There are scholars from poor families and students from high families. People are not surprised when they come and go.

.So soon, the villagers were minding their own business.

Wolongtan Academy is named after Wolongtan.

Cao Peng and his party easily found the location of the academy.

It is located on the bank of Wolong Pond, and its area is not too large, about 2,000 square meters.

Bamboo houses and green houses are dotted between the mountains and rivers. The two-meter-high white gables are said to be built spontaneously by the villagers. The gate is made of bamboo, which looks particularly elegant. The short steps are hidden in the corners with moss. The entire academy

, giving people a sense of tranquility.

"You guys are here to guard."

After Cao Peng finished speaking, he stepped up the steps.

Just then, the door opened...

Several young people walked out of the academy. The first one was tall and dressed in gray cloth. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, which gave him a rather heroic look. But if you look closely, you will find that his lips are very narrow and his lips are a little thin.

There was also a hint of sinisterness in his eyes.

"who are you?"

The young man stopped Cao Peng and asked in a deep voice.

"My Excellency, Cao Peng, has come to pay homage to Mr. Kong Ming."

"Sir is not here, please go."

"When will sir come back?"

"How do I know!" The young man seemed a little impatient, "It can take a year or two at most, or seven or eight months at a minimum. How can we know about your husband's affairs?

You are not welcome here, you should leave quickly."

Cao Peng narrowed his eyes and suddenly said: "Brother Nian, do you know that lying is a serious sin... If there is an afterlife, he will not be able to enter the animal realm."

He noticed that when the young man was chasing him, he kept glancing at the academy from the corner of his eye.

Cao *** has already begged Hu Zhao, and Hu Zhao has agreed. Since he has agreed, he will not leave at this time. Otherwise, according to Hu Zhao's temperament, he will most likely reject Cao *** directly. According to

Cao Peng inquired about the news and found that Hu Zhao was a very forthright person. According to Cao Zhen's initial introduction, Hu Zhao was a very straightforward person. One is one, and two is two. If I don't want to, you can't bow down even if you kill me.

But if I agree, then even if there is a knife from the sky, I will not change my mind easily.

Like the Confucians of the Han Dynasty, they paid great attention to the cultivation of moral character.

What is moral character?

If we follow the standards of this era, they are loyalty, filial piety, brotherhood and commitment.

Serve your king with loyalty, serve your parents with filial piety, serve your brothers with brotherhood, and serve your friends with loyalty.

Being able to do these four points is basically a model of morality and righteousness. Don't underestimate these four points. It sounds easy, but it is difficult to do.

The ancients had an idiom that a thousand pieces of gold means a promise. You can imagine this promise.

The young man's face suddenly darkened. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Cao Peng.

"Do you know what impact your words just now had on Sir? If spread, Mr.'s name will be completely ruined in your hands. I guess you are also Mr.'s student. Don't you feel ashamed if you ignore Mr.'s statement?

?Such behavior is unworthy of a son of man."

You ruined Mr. Kong Ming’s reputation. You are nothing.

The young man suddenly became furious and shouted: "Boy, are you looking for death?"

Cao Peng smiled, "I'm here to become a disciple, not to die. If you want to die, just give it a try..."

As he spoke, he staggered his steps and tapped his feet lightly.

A faint murderous aura lingered outside him. Cao Peng was a figure who came down from the battlefield, and the young man was just a brave and fierce fighter in the village. Although he was taller than Cao Peng, he was stronger than Cao Peng. But when

When Cao Peng's murderous intent was revealed, the young man felt his heart beat faster and his face suddenly turned pale.

"If you tell me now, then I can pretend that nothing happened.

If you are stubborn, let me tell you, based on what you just did, according to Han law, even if I kill you, it will not be an exaggeration."

"Zhou Qi, don't make trouble!"

The classmate behind the young man swallowed his saliva and persuaded softly.

"Sir, Zhou Qi was just joking for you, you don't have to take it seriously.

My husband has not traveled far and is reading in his study. How about I go and inform you and ask you to forget what happened just now?"

Cao Peng suddenly laughed.

His smile was refreshing.

Previously, Cao Peng's murderous look made people feel like there was a tiger crouching in front of them; but this smile made people feel like a spring breeze, honest and honest, like the boy next door who has not grown up. Several young people could not help but tremble in their hearts, as if they were relieved.

He breathed out softly.

This kid is different from those young masters before!

The two young men looked at Zhou Qi, and one young man handed him over, then quickly ran into the academy.

Cao Peng stepped down the steps and stood with his hands behind his back.

Only then did the young man see a group of people parked not far away.

Two charming girls were whispering, with bright smiles on their faces. Wolongtan is located in the hinterland of Luhun Mountain, remote and desolate. People like Zhou Qi are locals and have grown up in the mountains. How have they ever seen such things?

The outstanding woman couldn't help but be stunned.

"By the way, may I ask where the young master's name comes from?"

A young man asked.

"I am Cao Peng, who came from Xudu."

"Cao Peng... may I ask what his relationship is with the current Lord Sikong?"

Cao Peng smiled and said, "A certain person is serving under Cao Sikong and is appointed as the Commander of the Cavalry."

The young man couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

And Zhou Qi's face was even more ugly. They didn't know that Cao Peng's position as Cavalry Commander was just a title, a false position.

In their eyes, the Cavalry Commander seemed to be greater than the County Magistrate.

The two young men couldn't help but secretly rejoice: Let me tell you, this young man is different from the others at first glance. He is obviously a man with a good background. If you had done something just now, wouldn't you be asking for trouble? If you hurt him, you will definitely make trouble.

The government will be dispatched, but Mr. Xiang will not be able to be saved by then.

Thinking of this, the young man glared at Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi lowered his head and remained speechless...

"I dare to ask, but Cao Babai, Mr. Cao is coming?"

A burst of hearty laughter came from the academy. Following the sound of hurried footsteps, a young man walked out of the academy quickly.

Zhou Qi's face became even more gloomy, but he still stepped aside.

Cao Peng looked up and saw that the person who came was older than him, in his early twenties. He was eight feet tall and handsome. He had a high nose and sparkling eyes. He was dressed in white clothes and tied with a jade belt around his waist.

As he walked, his clothes were fluttering and his big sleeves were flying, making him very elegant.

Cao Peng hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his hands and said, "I am Cao Peng."

"Ha, Mr. Cao, you have finally arrived... The teacher said that you would only come in the next couple of days, so you have been waiting in the academy."

The expressions of Zhou Qi and others changed again, and they subconsciously took another step back.

The young man looked at Xia Houlan and others outside, frowned, and said softly: "Mr. Cao, how are you going to arrange your entourage?"

Seeing Cao Peng's doubtful expression, the young man quickly said: "The academy has rules. Only one disciple of the academy can enter, and followers are not allowed to go with him. If you live here, these followers must be arranged properly. But with so many people, the village may not be able to

It’s a good place to stay.”

"What should we do?"

"You either ask them to leave, or..."

The young man looked embarrassed.

Cao Peng understood what he meant.

The young man said that he could either let Xiahoulan and the others go away and live in the county outside the mountain, or he could solve the problem himself.

Cao Peng thought for a while and said, "I'll solve it myself."

"That's fine!"
