Chapter 524 The Villain is Unpredictable (2/2) Please vote for support

Zhou Buyi is a character with unknown origins.

He is only fourteen years old, but he is talented and can speak eloquently.

It can be said that Cao Peng had no impression of such a person. At least, this person did not appear in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

He was a child prodigy in Jingzhou who suddenly made the trek and settled in Xudu.

He made no attempt to hide it, and showed obvious hostility towards Cao Peng from the very beginning.

It is said that Zhou Buyi is a descendant of a noble family, and his uncle Liu Xian is well-known in Jingxiang. But the problem is that according to the rules of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a single-character name is noble, and a double-character name is humble. Zhou Buyi is not his cousin.

The character is Yuan Zhi. In other words, Zhou Buyi is his real name.

A child of an aristocratic family with a nickname, and a young man with an extremely different origin.

Cao Peng was puzzled. Who was this Zhou Buyi?

After sending Lu Hao and Pu Yangyi away, Cao Peng sat alone in his study and meditated. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhou Buyi's origins were suspicious.

But his life experience is clear and there is no doubt about it.

Gently rubbing his cheek, Cao Peng stood up, only to realize that at some point, it had darkened.

He lit the oil lamp, walked out of the study, stood on the porch, looked at the autumn chrysanthemums blooming in the courtyard, pouted, turned and left along the corridor. As early as when he first heard about Zhou Buji

, and began to pay attention to inquire. According to Huang Yueying, she knew Liu Xian's name, but she was not particularly clear about Zhou Buyi. It is no wonder that when Huang Yueying left Jiangxia, Zhou Buyi should not be more than five or six years old. She

Naturally, it is impossible to have too many impressions. Therefore, there is not much help that can be given to Cao Peng.

Cao Peng sent people to Yingyin again to consult Huang Chengyan.

At the same time, more people asked Xu Shu, Pang Tong and others, hoping to get some information from them...

From Huang Chengyan, Cao Peng once again confirmed the existence of Zhou Buyi. Huang Chengyan left Jingzhou in the fifth year of Jian'an. Zhou Buyi was eight years old at the time. He was known for his intelligence and was well-known in Lingling. However, due to Jiangxia and Lingling,

They were far apart, and Zhou Buyi was still young at the time. Although he was famous, he was not familiar with Huang Chengyan. After all, there was a huge gap between the two. With Huang Chengyan's identity and status at the time, how could he pay special attention to an eight-year-old

A child? Even if that child is an extremely smart person.

However, Huang Chengyan said that he would try to find out for him.

But that is not something that can be found out at once. After all, Huang Zu is dead, and Huang Yan is far away... The Huang family in Jiangxia is no longer what it used to be, and it is not easy to find out the news. At the same time, Pang Degong is in Jian'an

After seven years of hiding in Lumen Mountain, he has rarely appeared. If Mr. Pang could be found, it might be clearer. Unfortunately, no one knows where he is hiding.

Pang Tong and Xu Shu also sent people to reply, knowing that there was such a Lingling prodigy.

But it's not much different from Huang Chengyan's situation. They don't know very well about Zhou Buji's situation...

However, Meng Jian told a situation that caught Cao Peng's attention: Zhou Buji had gone with Liu Xian to Shuijing Villa to visit Sima Hui.

At that time, Sima Hui admired Zhou Buyi very much and praised him as a child prodigy.

That happened in the sixth year of Jian'an. Meng Jian was still studying at Shuijing Villa, so he had two not too close contacts with Zhou Buyi. According to Meng Jian, Zhou Buyi was eleven years old.

, but his arrogant behavior and uninhibited speech made people feel very uncomfortable. However, he and Zhuge Liang were able to talk together, and they seemed to be restrained. At that time, Cui Jun was extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Buyi, and once said in a casual chat

, speaking of Zhou Buyi. Zhuge Liang even argued for Zhou Buyi for a few words, but then let it go...

Zhuge Liang, Zhou Buyi, Liu Xian, Cao Chong!

Cao Peng had an unclear feeling about these names.

Zhuge Liang is now assisting Liu Bei, and through his connections, Liu Bei has been able to take charge of the new lands and Anzhong, sit in Fancheng, and gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou.

However, for some reason, Liu Bei and Liu Qi got very close.

Zhuge Liang is also the son-in-law of the Cai family, which makes the relationship between the two parties complicated.

Liu Xian, who was Liu Biao's friend, seemed to be leaning towards Cao Cao. But Zhou Buji, a young man with no official position, became friends with Cao Chong.

Cao Peng discovered a problem among these seemingly unrelated people.

According to Cao Zhang's return, Cao Chong had been studying at home and rarely had contact with outsiders. But somehow he became friends with Zhou Buyi.

How did Zhou Buyi become friends with Cao Chong?

This is a question!

Although Cao Cao admired Zhou Buyi and tried to betroth his eldest daughter Cao Xian to Zhou Buyi, he unexpectedly was rejected by Zhou Buyi...

With Cao Cao's temper, he would never introduce his family to Zhou Buyi.

This is not stingy, but Cao Cao wanted to recruit Zhou Buji, but was rejected by Zhou Buji?

Why!

Zhou Buyi’s thoughts may not be towards Cao Cao; in other words, Zhou Buyi is conflicted with Cao Cao. So, why would he be conflicted with Cao Cao?

Some things really can't be considered complicated.

Otherwise, the more you think about it, the more complicated it becomes.

Cao Peng came to the bedroom unknowingly and saw Huang Yueying reading a book in the room.

He quietly came behind Huang Yueying, stretched out his arms and hugged Huang Yueying. Huang Yueying was startled at first, but then she smelled the familiar body odor and stopped struggling.

"Afu, why are you so surprised?"

"looking at what?"

"The thirty-six strategies you wrote."

Huang Yueying put down the book, turned around and smiled gently, "I was reading the article about the plan to defeat the enemy. I was about to read the article about the beauty trap, but you came... Husband, the article about the beauty trap is based on the article "Sun Wu's Thirteen Chapters"

, and derived from it? Gou Jian used the gift of beauty to please his husband, and used the imperial bandits to be obedient and protect him."

To be precise, the beauty trap comes from an article in "Six Taoist Wenfa".

The original content of the text is: Feed his rebellious ministers to confuse them, and introduce beautiful voices to confuse them.

What it means is: For enemies that are difficult to conquer with military operations, sugar-coated cannonballs should be used. Do what they want, and defeat the opponent mentally and willfully. This honey trap not only includes using beauty to confuse the enemy, but the key is to do what they want.

Okay, break the opponent's will.

Generally speaking, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an evolved version of "Sun Wu's Thirteen Chapters".

However, Cao Peng's heart suddenly shook for no reason.

"Yueying, what did you just say?"

"I mean, this beauty trap was derived from the use of "The Thirteen Chapters of Sun Wu"... Husband, what's wrong with you? Is what I said wrong?"

Huang Yueying is a woman. Although she has a wide range of interests, to be honest, she has no understanding of the art of war.

It's just that when I was bored, I had read a few art of war, so my words were not very confident. But in Cao Peng's ears, it seemed like a thunder exploded. His originally groggy brain seemed to have flashed.

A ray of light suddenly appeared, making him suddenly clear.

Use room?

He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

Could it be that this week is undoubtedly a time of death?

This does not seem to be impossible. The key lies in where Zhou Buyi died.

Liu Biao’s?

Not quite like...

Liu Xian agreed to join Cao Cao.

But even though Zhou Buyi is Liu Xian's nephew, he may not agree with Liu Xian's ideas. If he and Liu Xian are not in the same faction, then where will he belong?

Meng Jian seemed to have said that Zhou Buyi seemed to be somewhat close to Zhuge Liang.

So, could Zhou Buyi be Liu Bei's man? As soon as this thought came up, the more Cao Peng thought about it, the more likely he felt...

If this is the case, then the encounter between Zhou Buyi and Cao Chong has a very obvious atmosphere of conspiracy.

"Husband, husband?"

"ah?"

Cao Peng suddenly woke up and saw Huang Yueying's worried look.

He quickly smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just thought of something, so I was a little lost.

By the way, Yueying, have you finished writing the workshop regulations I asked you to write for me before? I’ll take a look and take them to my father-in-law tomorrow.”

"Well, it's the assembly line you were talking about, right?"

Huang Yueying smiled and nodded, having already written it.

She stood up, took out a thin booklet from the small cabinet at the end of the kang, and handed it to Cao Peng.

After Cao Peng took it, he quickly turned through two pages and then put it in his arms.

"Yueying, you should go to bed first. I have some things that I want to think over tonight, so don't wait for me any longer."

"good!"
