Cao Peng was immersed in a very wonderful world at this moment.
He was not very clear about what was happening in the outside world. Everything came from instinct. And because it came from instinct, his fists and kicks were even more merciless.
Zhu Zan was caught off guard and was punched by Cao Peng. He flew backwards, hit the wall, and slid to the ground.
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and I suddenly felt cramping pain in my chest and abdomen.
Cao Peng's punch directly broke two of his ribs, causing Zhu Zan to scream in pain.
Xu Yi saw clearly from the side that the distance between Cao Peng's attacks was very short. From a normal perspective, it was impossible to generate much power. But just between those one kick and one kick, a huge explosive force was produced. When punching, it seems weak, and when punching, it feels like being hit by a giant hammer.
This skill is really terrifying...
While Xu Yi was stunned, Cao Zhen and others all woke up.
"Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu...what happened to you? Who hit you?"
Cao Zun and Zhu Zan also grew up together, so naturally they were particularly concerned. They stood up from the bed and rushed to Zhu Zan's side.
"Afu, you are crazy!"
Zhu Zan coughed violently, and a trace of red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"Second brother, what's going on?"
Cao Zhen asked loudly, but his eyes were fixed on Cao Peng, who was just a few inches in front of the bed, moving forward and back, repeating the same movements alternately.
Cao Peng had no idea what was going on in the outside world. He was still using the strength of half-step collapse fist to push three knots to three points... His energy and blood continued to increase, and his joints became smoother. He had no idea what was happening, but he still continued again and again. Repeated practice. Every punch will produce a violent air explosion sound. The fist explodes with amazing force in a square inch, friction with the air, and produces a sound like pulling a bellows.
"Everyone, stay away!"
Xu Yi shouted loudly and stopped Cao Zhen who was trying to wake up Cao Peng.
"He was practicing... What happened to Lao Zhu is probably something he did unintentionally. I'm afraid he still doesn't know what happened."
"What the hell is this?"
Xu Yidian looked at each other and shook his head, "I don't know!"
"It's not like Baji or Tai Chi!" Wang Mai suddenly said.
"Afu said that Wen has Tai Chi to stabilize the world, and Wu has Baji to stabilize the world. He usually practices Tai Chi, and what he gives us is Baji... But I have never seen the boxing method he is using now, and I have not seen him either. I have used it before. When Ah Fu practiced boxing before, he was always soft. Why is he so strong today? Please don't get close to him. He is probably unconscious at this time. Whoever gets closer will be unlucky."
As soon as the words came out, Cao Zhen and others shouted and backed away.
"Prison head!"
Cao Zun supported Zhu Zan and shouted loudly.
The jailer who was already asleep outside heard the shouting and secretly cried out in his heart: Why haven't these men done enough, what are they going to do?
But when he ran over and saw the situation clearly, he was shocked.
Zhu Zan was lying there with a pale face, looking like he was seriously injured... Could it be that there was an assassin? Something big had happened!
"What are you doing standing there in a daze?" Cao Zhen yelled, "You're blind, why don't you go find your husband to save someone."
"ah……"
The warder was crying in his heart. The medical clinic was closed in the middle of the night. Where could he find the doctor? But Cao Zhen spoke, and he did not dare to disobey. He had to call repeatedly and order people to go find the doctor. He was still a little strange: This What's going on? They were fine just now, but in the blink of an eye, they turned against each other? It turned out to be a group of young masters, and their talk of sworn friendship with Jinlan was just a game.
The sound of air explosions became more and more intensive, and Cao Peng's face became more and more rosy.
On his forehead, fine beads of sweat flowed down his cheeks, and his thin single clothes were soaked through.
Cao Zhen and others were hiding nearby, watching Cao Peng punching like crazy.
"Why does he only punch within a few inches?"
Zhu Zan calmed down now and couldn't help but asked curiously.
Wang Mai shook his head, "I'm not sure about this... When Ah Fu practiced Tai Chi before, his range of movement was not very large. In fact, most of the boxing techniques he taught us were limited to a certain range. What's the secret here?
I can’t explain it either...but I feel that after practicing, my body, hand, and eyes will improve. Third brother should know this, he broke through the sand formation when he was in Wubao."
Several pairs of eyes suddenly turned to Noriman.
Noriman rubbed his nose and said, "There is indeed such a thing, but I don't quite understand it."
"What sand formation?"
Xu Yi suddenly felt curious.
Dianman shook his head, "Afu seems to have said that that thing is called the Tiangang Hunyuan Pile... It's like setting up thirty-six sandbags in such a small area, and people running around among them, hitting the sandbags at the same time.
Doing this repeatedly can improve your alertness... Xu Datou, you can give it a try later. I didn't believe in evil at first, but in the end, my nose was bruised and my face was swollen, and I almost couldn't get out."
"Then you must give it a try."
The air popping sound was sudden and sharp, like popcorn, and continued continuously.
Cao Peng suddenly stopped, looked up to the sky and roared...
The fullness of Qi and blood in his limbs was as comfortable as a jade ball. He held his hands together, pushed his head upward, stepped forward with his left leg, his hands slowly spread apart, pushed forward with his left hand, and pulled back with his right hand, as if
It's like tearing a face, the movements are slow, but it gives people a strange feeling like flowing clouds and flowing water.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Cao Peng completed his three-body exercise, but found a group of people huddled in a corner, looking at him in extremely strange ways.
"Fourth brother, who hit you...?"
Cao Peng was startled when his eyes fell on Zhu Zan, and he quickly stepped forward, wanting to go over and check Zhu Zan's injuries.
Who would have thought that as soon as he took a step, Cao Zhen shouted: "Ah Fu, wait!"
"What's wrong?"
"You...finished practicing?"
Cao Peng smiled sarcastically, nodded and said, "I apologize for disturbing a few brothers."
"Aren't you crazy?"
"Crazy? When did I go crazy?"
"You bastard makes us hide here and dare not move... Brothers, take action and teach him a lesson! He even dares to hit his brother. If he doesn't teach him a lesson, he will have no face in the future."
A group of young men rushed over to teach Cao Peng a lesson without saying a word.
Dianman and Xu Yi grabbed Cao Peng from one side to the other. Cao Peng was startled, and instinctively staggered and swung his hips, shaking his arms and shaking his shoulders, trying to get away.
"Huh? I've gained a lot of strength!"
Xu Yi yelled and tried to hold Cao Peng down with all his strength. Unexpectedly, Cao Peng stepped on the yin and yang steps, stamped between his feet, threw his shoulders and elbows at the same time, bent his arms, and after falling out of Xu Yi's hand, he fluttered.
The child hit Xu Yi's body. Xu Yi staggered and almost sat on the ground. It's not that Cao Peng wanted to do this intentionally, it was just that after the Qi was introduced into the bones and entered the bone-changing stage, the body
Unable to control the strength of his bones and vitality, he instinctively fought back.
Fortunately, this time he didn't show any energy.
Cao Zhen stepped forward quickly and caught Cao Peng.
"What are you doing!"
Cao Peng also saw that these guys did not mean any harm, so he shouted loudly.
"What are you doing? You even dare to hit your brother, you are so lawless... Hehe, I'm just going to teach you a lesson."
Looking at Zhu Zan's pale face, and thinking of the strange expressions on everyone's face just now, Cao Peng understood immediately and stopped resisting.
In fact, Cao Zhen and the others didn't really want to teach Cao Peng a lesson, they just wanted to vent their anger at being frightened by him.
Xu Yi got up, stretched out her big hand with a cattail leaf fan, and rubbed Cao Peng's hair into a mess. Dianman kept hitting him on the head with her fists.
"Fourth brother, are you okay?" Cao Zun asked softly.
Zhu Zan couldn't help laughing, "What's the matter... It was because I was careless and didn't understand the situation that I was injured by Ah Fu. It's no wonder he was... Okay, okay, stop making trouble. Ah Fu practiced
After a long day, he is probably tired, so let him rest for a while."
Among the eight people, Cao Zhen is the eldest.
But most of the time, Zhu Zan feels more calm.
"Spare you, kid!"
Cao Zhen let go of Cao Peng.
Poor little Cao Peng, now he has no trace of his previous chic deception. His hair is disheveled, his clothes are messy, and he looks like a doormat.
Zhu Zan smiled happily, but his happiness caused his injury, and he suddenly grinned.
Broken ribs!
Cao Peng walked over and checked Zhu Zan's injury.
He frowned slightly and said softly: "Fourth brother, let me help you reset the bone... I accidentally injured the bone just now. If you don't straighten it quickly, it will probably cause something wrong. It will be a little painful, but I believe Fourth brother
He's a tough guy, no problem, right?"
This guy is so cunning!
Zhu Zan cursed secretly in his heart.
You have said this, even if it hurts to death, I can't say anything...otherwise, I will be looked down upon.
"bring it on!"
Zhu Zan had an expression of "I believe in you", but he didn't have any confidence in his heart. Although he was sworn to Jinlan and bowed to him, he really couldn't say he knew Cao Peng very well. But now that Cao Peng has spoken,
Zhu Zan had no choice but to admit it, looking resigned to his fate.
After letting Zhu Zan lie down, Cao Peng found the broken bone and said to Cao Zhen with a smile: "Fourth brother's body is not bad. As long as the bones are straightened, he will be healthy for a few days. By the way, I heard it a few days ago.
Say, eldest brother found a woman outside?"
"Who is talking nonsense?" Cao Zhen was stunned.
Zhu Zan immediately became interested after hearing this, "Brother, are you looking for a woman again?"
"What do you mean, I don't have it at all..."
Before Cao Zhen finished speaking, Zhu Zan suddenly heard a scream like a slaughtering pig.
Just when Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen were talking, Cao Peng suddenly exerted force on his hand, and Gaba fixed the broken bone. Zhu Zan was not prepared for the sudden severe pain. That cry... how could it be called miserable? Okay.
Zai Dianman and Xu Yi both took Cao Peng's prompts and held Zhu Zan firmly to prevent him from moving. But even so, Zhu Zan broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Cao Peng, rolling his eyes.
About two sticks of incense had passed before the warder led a young man into the cell.
It was also a embarrassment for the jailer. It was not easy to find a doctor in the middle of the night. Xiao Kun, a gynecologist at Huichun Hall, was very busy today. He had been busy with a lot of things during the day. He was originally exhausted and was ready to go to bed early. He didn't want to go home.
When a guest came, Xiao Kun could only work hard to receive it. This person's name was Dong Xiao, who was a close disciple of Zhang Ji, the former governor of Changsha. In his early years, Xiao Kun studied under Zhang Ji's uncle, Uncle Zhang, and he was as close as Zhang Ji.
They are also old friends. When the younger generation comes to visit, of course he will have to treat him to a banquet...
This meal of wine has lasted until now.
The two of them originally planned to go back to rest, but the jailer came to the door unexpectedly.
Xiao Kun felt a headache as soon as he heard that he was still the same person during the day. Moreover, he was a gynecologist and he really didn't know much about this kind of trauma.
Fortunately, Dong Xiao stepped forward and expressed his willingness to visit Xiao Kun for treatment.
After checking the extent of Zhu Zan's injury, Dong Xiao was very surprised. After giving Zhu Zan a thorough diagnosis and treatment, he fixed the injury and prescribed a prescription.
Cao Zhen quickly stepped forward to thank him, but Dong Xiao bowed to Cao Peng.
"I, Dong Xiao, have been ordered by my master to send a letter to Mr. Cao."
Cao Peng was startled, "The master is..."
"Master Nirvana Zhangji."
"Ah, are you Mr. Zhongjing's disciple?"
Cao Peng quickly stood up and returned the courtesy.
Here, Dong Xiao took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Cao Peng, "I don't know how to contact the young master, but I didn't expect to meet here."
Cao Peng took the letter and was not in a hurry to read it.
He asked: "Where does Mr. Dong end up now?"
"Oh, I haven't decided yet. I estimate that I will stay in Huichun Hall for a while and then make further decisions."
Cao Peng said: "That being the case, why not stay at Dianjiawu temporarily? I'm afraid I will have to stay here for a few days. When the matter is over, I hope I can have a good time with my husband."
Although he didn't know what was written in the letter, Cao Peng vaguely guessed Zhang Ji's thoughts.
A clan like the Nieyang Zhang family must take precautions. Even though Cao Cao failed in Wancheng, there is no guarantee that he will fight again at some time. By then, if the Nieyang Zhang family has no backers, it will soon decline.
It is definitely not easy for Zhang Ji to come forward and clearly declare who he is defecting to. But he can send his students... Like a wealthy family, Zhang Ji will not put all his eggs in one basket.
Dong Xiao was Zhang Ji's guiding stone towards Xu Du.
The reason why Dong Xiao found him was because he had no connections, or Zhang Ji didn't want him to bear his name.
Therefore, when Dong Xiao came to Xudu, he had no choice but to find himself. After all, Zhang Ji had taken in Wang Mai and Deng Ji, and he had a relationship with Cao Peng. Through Cao Peng, he could get involved with Dian Wei. In this way, Dong Xiao would naturally have
Opportunity to gain a firm foothold in Xudu...
None of these old men are confused.
For Cao Peng, it doesn't hurt that Dong Xiao lives in Dianjiawu.
Among the big shots in later generations, who doesn’t have a family doctor in their home? Besides, my mother, Zhang, was frightened just now, and my sister is pregnant. It would be more reassuring to have a doctor there to take care of her, right? So, Cao Peng didn’t either
Be polite and forthright in extending the invitation.
Dong Xiao smiled and agreed.
After stabilizing Zhu Zan's injury, Dong Xiao said some more precautions, took the Dian family badge given to him by Cao Peng, and left.
Xu Du has caused such a big incident, so he will naturally be heavily guarded at night.
Without Dianwei's badge, it would be difficult for Dong Xiao to walk alone in the market...
Cao Peng breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Dong Xiao off.
"Sixth brother, let's change seats. You sleep inside, and I'll sleep next to fourth brother. I know a little bit about muscle and bone injuries. If fourth brother feels uncomfortable, I can take care of him... I've been struggling all day.
Let’s all go to bed early. Haha, there won’t be anything good for us to entertain ourselves tomorrow.”
Cao Peng and Cao Zun discussed.
Cao Zun thought about it for a while, but although he was a little uneasy, he finally agreed.
"Afu, what's this good thing?"
Xu Yi's eyes shone and she inquired curiously.
"Hey, I'll explain it to you when the stuff arrives."
Although Xu Yi was unwilling to give in, her body was really tired. After all, she had been working hard all day, and she was frightened by Cao Peng just now. Now she felt like her eyelids were shaking. After questioning Cao Peng for a while, she saw that
Cao Peng refused to speak, so Xu Yi had no choice but to give up.
Cao Peng lay on the bed between Zhu Zan and Deng Fan, opening the letter in the light of the corridor outside the cell.
Huh? It’s not a letter from Zhang Zhongjing!
The handwriting is very graceful and neat, but it is a bit difficult to read.
The letter was written by Huang Yueying at the end of last year. Huang Yueying said that because her mother was in poor health, she wanted to go home to visit her so as not to worry her. She also invited Cao Peng to go to Baishui to find her when he had the opportunity, and we would discuss it together.
Things I didn’t understand before…
Baishui is Xiantao City, Hubei Province.
Located in Jiangxia County, it is the old residence of the Huang family!
However, it is estimated that Cao Peng will not be able to survive for a while.
There are no romantic words about male and female love in the letter. It is very plain. Just like Huang Yueying, there is a kind of peace between the lines.
Although Cao Peng has been born in two lifetimes, he is a complete rookie when it comes to emotions.
This letter caused waves in his heart... What is this, a love letter? But there is no sentence in it that involves the relationship between men and women. Cao Peng doesn't know what position he holds in Huang Yueying's heart.
On the bed, I was worried about gains and losses for a while, not knowing how to make a decision. Could it be said that we really have to wait until the horse rides across the river to make a clear decision?
That night, Cao Peng couldn't sleep...——
Imperial City, Changle Palace.
Leng Fei and Liu Guang stood quietly at the foot of the jade steps, their hands lowered in awe.
Your Majesty Dan, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty stood with his hands behind his back, his slightly pale face covered with clouds...
"So, Xun Wenruo didn't let him go in the end, right?"
Leng Fei replied: "My Lord Attendant disagreed and said that he could not make a decision until Cao Sikong returned to the capital. However, he let the imperial physician in to treat Fu Jun's injuries. According to the imperial physician's report, Fu Jun... his leg could not be saved.
.But in prison, I was not treated harshly!"
"Bastard, your legs are broken. Isn't that considered harsh treatment?"
Liu Xie roared angrily, his thin body trembling slightly under the dragon robe.
He is not tall, but he has pretty features. However, his lips are a bit thin and the corners of his lips are slightly long, so he does not look particularly comfortable.
"His Majesty!"
"Ziyu, tell me."
Liu Guang took a step forward and said softly: "Your Majesty came to Xudu, but the foundation is not yet stable.
All the people in the dynasty were sent by Sikong, and those who came from Chang'an were actually not reliable. As for Kong Wenju and others, their moral articles may be okay, but they are too strong in the book business and may not be able to take on big posts. It is not appropriate for Your Majesty to have a grudge against Sikong.
You should slowly plan for it and recruit your confidants...Wars are raging in the world today, and it is the time for heroes to emerge in large numbers. Your Majesty should not limit your sights to Xudu, but focus on the world."
"You mean..."
"Noble families and high-ranking families are not enough to rely on. They are all the people of Qin, Mu and Chu, so it is really difficult to trust them. Moreover, these wealthy and famous families have no military power. Like Kong Wenju and others, they can only live in the banquet and talk eloquently. If your Majesty wants to seize power, you can still
We need to find people who are strong and loyal to His Majesty."
"But where can I find such a person?"
"Your Majesty, this kind of thing must not be rushed. When the time comes, it will appear."
Liu Xie sat down slumped. After a long time, he asked in a low voice: "Ziyu, can this matter be forgotten?"
Liu Guang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why should you worry? This is a good opportunity to test Cao Sikong's mind."
