Cao Peng's face was light and his clouds were calm, while Zhang Tai's face was red and his ears were red.
This distinction is naturally clear at a glance. When Zhang Tai was still huddled in the dilapidated Luoyang City, eating, drinking, having fun and passing the time with a bunch of idle people, Cao Peng, who was seven or eight years younger than him, was already sitting at the same table with the famous Confucian scholars.
Sit down and start talking...
How embarrassing is this for Zhang Taiqing?
"May I ask, who is the one playing the piano?"
However, Zhang Taiyou refused to lower his head and asked with his neck stiffened.
Cao Peng took a sip of apricot wine and said with a relaxed expression: "There is a proverb in Jiangdong: if the song is wrong, Zhou Lang will take care of it, that is Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin... By the way, it seems that Zhou Lang and Tzuyu are about the same age, so they should be young people.
A handsome man, he is truly a role model for our generation, and he is highly desirable."
Everyone listened and fell silent.
Zhou Yu has now become famous. After capturing Danyang last year, the Ming and Han generals, Wuhou Sun Ce, worshiped Zhou Yu as the Central Protector and the Grand Administrator of Jiangxia.
Cao Peng's face showed contempt.
Let's see, he is also a musician. He has a wrong song, Zhou Langgu, how famous is he? But he is not only a musician, but also versatile in both civil and military affairs. He seems to be about the same age as you, and he already holds real power.
A prefect with a salary of two thousand stone. But what about you?
Zhang Tai was choked and couldn't say a word.
Cao Peng discovered that Xuan Shuo had a flash of light, and it disappeared briefly, and he regained his composure.
This Xuan Shuo is not simple!
There seemed to be memories in his eyes, but more of a reluctance.
Perhaps feeling the attention of Cao Peng, Xuan Shuo smiled slightly and raised his glass to invite wine, while Cao Peng returned the favor and drank it all in one gulp.
"Is there such a person in the world?"
Yue Guan couldn't help but sigh, and then sighed softly.
Chi Zhong suddenly said: "I heard that Mr. Cao is famous all over the world for his eight hundred words, and his literary talent is outstanding. When we are here for a fateful gathering, why don't you write a poem?"
"ah?"
Chi Zhong smiled and said, "Why don't we just use Guan Jushi as the title?"
"Using me as a topic?"
Yue Guan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
Her smile lit up the eyes of everyone in the pavilion. Zhang Liang and Zhang Tai showed their true colors as a disciple, swallowed their saliva, and then cheered in unison.
For Zhang Tai, he needs to save this face.
For Zhang Liang, he wants to support his fellow villagers.
But Chi Zhong...
Cao Peng closed his eyes slightly and glanced at Chi Zhong.
They saw that although Chi Zhong acted like it had nothing to do with him on the surface, he kept glancing at Yue Guan from the corner of his eye.
Damn it, you want to please a beautiful lady, why did you drag me into this?
"Sir, how about..."
Shi A saw that Cao Peng was unhappy and whispered.
Cao Peng waved his hand, looked at Chi Zhong, and then at Yue Guan, who looked expectantly, and suddenly he had the idea of teasing in his heart...
He stood up and walked around the room.
Zhang Taiyueguan and others, on the other hand, held their breath and looked at Cao Peng quietly.
A smile appeared on the corner of Xuan Shuo's mouth, and he looked at Cao Peng curiously, waiting for his answer.
One step, two steps, three steps...
When Cao Peng took the seventh step, he suddenly stopped.
"In Juhuawu, there is a chrysanthemum nunnery. The chrysanthemum fairy lives in the chrysanthemum nunnery. The chrysanthemum fairy plants chrysanthemum branches and offers chrysanthemums as wine money."
"It's fairly average, but it's just so ordinary that it's not a good sentence."
Zhang Tai commented with a sneer, his words containing sarcasm.
"Don't be anxious and listen to what's going on." Xuan Shuo said, "Young Master Eight Hundred still has some good sentences to say, so why should you and I be anxious?"
Before he finished speaking, Cao Peng was heard singing again.
"When you are sober, you just sit in front of flowers; when you are drunk, you need to sleep under flowers. Half-drunk and half-awake day after day, the flowers bloom and fall year after year.
I hope that I will die in old age and spend my time in wine, and I do not want to bow in front of carriages and horses. The dust of carriages and horses are enough for the rich, and the wine-cup branches are for the poor.
If the rich and the noble are compared to the poor and the lowly, one is on the ground and the other is in the sky. If the poor and the low are compared to a chariot and a horse, they cannot drive but can sleep.
The world laughs at you because you are too crazy, but I laugh at you and the world cannot see through it. There are no tombs of the heroes of the Five Tombs, and there are no flowers or wine to cultivate the fields."
After Cao Peng recited, he grabbed the bronze knight and staggered to the Yueguan case. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Yueguan's pink jade arm, "Chrysanthemum Fairy, I honor you with a knighthood."
Yue Guan's jade arms are as soft as boneless, smooth and soft to the touch.
At first, when she heard Cao Peng write poetry, she just smiled and said nothing.
But later on, I couldn't help but feel so excited that I couldn't help myself.
With her beautiful eyes turning, the chrysanthemum fairy held the long copper in her slender hand, bit her red lips, her cheeks were rosy, and said softly: "Thank you, sir."
After that, she wanted to drink.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Cao Peng...
"Chrysanthemum Fairy, this way of drinking is so boring.
How about this, you and I have our arms crossed and drink from the same drink?"
While talking, Cao Peng glanced at Chi Zhong.
If you ask me to get into the water, I will tease your sweetheart. He passed his arm through the inside of Yue Guan's arm, then bent his elbow and placed Tong Jue to his lips. He leaned slightly and pressed against the warmth on Yue Guan's chest.
On the soft side, Yue Guan's face was rosy, but he followed Cao Peng's drinking method. He handed over a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. His breathing could not help but become rapid, and the soft jade on his chest rose and fell, rubbing Cao Peng's arm.
Chi Zhong's face turned pale.
Cao Peng couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, and put Yue Guan's arm around the banquet.
"The spring weather in Luoyang is beautiful, but the young people's spring clothes are thin.
Cherish the heart of the master, and the wine will be deeply affectionate. Don’t worry about the spring leakage, don’t complain that the gold cup is full. When you meet the wine and laugh, how can life be... happy, happy!"
But Yue Guan's eyes were as charming as silk, almost clinging to Cao Peng's body.
Chi Zhong's face turned even paler, and after a moment, he lowered his head and said no more.
"Cao Peng is lucky to be dining with you all today...but he will go to Luhun the next day, so he needs to return early.
Dear gentlemen, if we are destined to meet again, I would like to hear the master's Dharma, listen to the wonderful voice of the fairy, and of course the fairy music of Tzuyu."
Cao Peng drank three nobles in a row, said goodbye and left.
Shi A quickly stood up and followed closely behind Cao Peng.
Everyone couldn't help being moved by Cao Peng's heroism and left their seats one after another. Even Chi Zhong, who was dissatisfied, could only force himself to be happy at this time.
"This son will definitely become a great weapon!"
Xuan Shuo couldn't help but sigh when he heard Cao Peng's hearty laughter gradually fade away.
Glancing at the amorous Yue Guan, he suddenly sneered in his heart and returned to the old god's presence before...
Cao Peng laughed and left, boarding the chariot, but he still couldn't help but chuckle.
I wonder if Tang Bohu can still show off in future generations? Today's Chrysanthemum Anthem song can be regarded as the achievement of the Chrysanthemum Fairy Juhuaguan.
As everyone knows, in later generations, chrysanthemums have profound meanings.
At that time, how will people judge this chrysanthemum fairy?
The more he thought about it, the more interesting it became to Cao Peng, who couldn't help laughing in the car. Outside the car, Xia Houlan and the two Fei Jing guards had blank expressions on their faces. They also couldn't figure out what was so good about Cao Peng.
What on earth was Peng laughing about in the car? Could it be that he encountered something ridiculous at White Horse Temple? However, as a general, he would not ask about the affairs of his master's family, so he could only keep it in his heart.
Exit White Horse Temple and walk slowly along Guan Road.
The Luoshui River surges all the way to the east.
In the night, Beimang Mountain towers like a huge barrier.
Cao Peng stopped laughing, took a deep breath, and leaned against the car wall, feeling a little drowsy.
I drank too much!
In the end, the three princes were in my stomach, I was a little anxious!
It's unthinkable to patronize and show off... Although the wine of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not distilled and had a lingering taste in the mouth, its staying power was not small.
When the wind blew, Cao Peng felt drunk.
"Stop, stop!"
Cao Peng jumped off the carriage, held on to a willow tree, and started vomiting.
What a shame!
Fortunately, I didn't vomit wine in front of everyone in the White Horse Temple, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.
"Ziyou, don't talk nonsense after you go back."
Xia Houlan suppressed laughter and nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, young master, I understand the importance."
Cao Peng was relieved, stood by the river, and made a chest expansion movement. He raised his head and greedily took a deep breath of the air filled with the fragrance of flowers. In future generations, such refreshing air would not be allowed to smell. He scratched
He scratched his head, took a deep breath, turned around and prepared to board the car.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a cart coming from the side road.
There was one person sitting in the car, and two people were pushing him behind. I guess it was local farmers going home...
Cao Peng didn't pay attention, but he didn't know that when the cart reached the river, the man pushing the cart suddenly stopped and jerked the cart. The person sitting in the cart fell headfirst into the river. There was only a splash, and then the cart suddenly fell into the river.
The two men pushing the cart turned around and were about to leave. Cao Peng shivered, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: murder! He quickly shouted: "That thief, stop leaving!"
Originally, the person pushing the cart didn't see Cao Peng, so he didn't pay attention.
But after hearing Cao Peng's shouts, the two men pushing the cart abandoned the cart and ran away.
"Ziyou, catch them!"
Xia Houlan hurriedly rode in pursuit. Unexpectedly, when the two men saw Xia Houlan chasing after him on horseback, they immediately dived into a dense forest.
Cao Peng took Fei Qian and ran to the river.
"Save people, save people quickly!"
These two Fei Qi are both from Danyang.
Therefore, they were not bad at water. After hearing Cao Peng's shout, the two of them immediately jumped into the river, while Cao Peng stood on the bank, feeling dizzy.
When something like this happened, I was so scared that I broke into a cold sweat.
The previous drunkenness immediately disappeared. He patted his forehead lightly, turned around and walked to the cart to take a closer look.
This is a very ordinary cart with no markings.
Xia Houlan rode back with a look of shame on his face, "Sir, let those two thieves run away."
"Ran?"
"Well, they seemed to be familiar with the terrain. They got into the forest, turned here and there, and then disappeared. Although I have a war horse, but..."
"Okay, I get it!"
Cao Peng calmed down a lot now, stood up, and remained silent.
"Ziyou, go to the official office immediately and ask Fourth Brother to bring someone over."
"Here!"
Xia Houlan accepted the order with his hands raised, raised his whip and raised his whip. Cao Peng continued to stay by the river, observing the surrounding terrain. Not far away was Beimang Mountain, and the Luo River went around Beimang Mountain.
Many villages. Xia Houlan said that the two people were very familiar with the terrain, that is to say, they were locals. Cao Peng patted his forehead and was thinking, when he suddenly heard the sound of water coming from the river, and the two flying men were panting.
Climbed the river bank.
"Where are the people?"
"Sir, no one..."
"ah?"
"We have found the bottom of the river, but we still haven't found any bodies. Except for silt, just silt."
"how so?"
When Cao Peng heard this, he was stunned.
He saw with his own eyes that the two men threw the people sitting in the car into the river. How could they not find the body? He walked quickly to the river, looked at the water, and asked after a moment: "Is it possible?
The river was so strong that it swept people away? That’s why you didn’t find them.”
"Impossible, the river is not very fast.
If it were on the river, this kind of situation might happen. But with this kind of current, it is impossible to sweep people away... Mr. Li, how about we go down and have a look?"
A Fei Qi opened his mouth and said.
Fei Qian named Li Xian nodded, "In this case, let's separate. You go up, Daya, and I go down... Young Master, what do you think?"
"Then thank you for your hard work."
Li Xian and Daya rested for a while and jumped into the river again.
Cao Peng stood on the shore, frowning and waiting quietly.
In the distance, there was the sound of people shouting and horses neighing.
Xiahou Lan returned to the Northern Lieutenant's Office and woke up Zhu Zan. Upon hearing this, Zhu Zan immediately ordered a dozen servants and hurried over with Xia Houlan.
"Youxue, how is the situation?"
Zhu Zan shouted from afar.
Cao Peng turned around and waved to Zhu Zan.
"Fourth brother, I'm sorry for calling you over so late."
"What are you talking about? I am the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang, and this section happens to be under my rule. How can I ignore a murder case? Tell me quickly, what is going on? Where is the murderer? And there is a murder case.
Where is the body?”
"The murderer ran away, but according to what Ziyou said, he should be someone from around here, not too far away.
The body... has not been found so far. I saw with my own eyes that they pushed the person into the river, but I don't know why. I sent people to salvage it, but found nothing... By the way, there is also this car, which was left behind by the murderer.
, but I can’t see any clues.”
Wow!
Big Ya protruded from the river downstream, "Sir, there is still nothing."
"Sir, I didn't find it here either."
Cao Peng frowned and said loudly: "Daya, Mr. Li, you guys come up first."
As he spoke, he turned around and said to Zhu Zan: "We still haven't found the body. I asked Daya and Li to search east and west first, but nothing was found. Fourth brother, this thing seems a bit weird. Otherwise, you can find a few more people to go down."
See if you can find anything?"
Zhu Zan thought for a while, nodded and said, "It has to be this way."
Then, he smiled and said: "Okay, I will keep an eye on things here. It looks like you drank a lot. Go back and rest first... You have to leave tomorrow. Ziyou, you stay with your young master.
Go back first. Ah Fu, don’t worry, I will continue to order people to salvage it.”
Cao Peng exhaled a strong breath and nodded.
"Then please, fourth brother!"
However, after returning to the official office, Cao Peng could not sleep.
He lay on the couch, tossing and turning for most of the night. It wasn't until it was past midnight that he reluctantly closed his eyes. He didn't know how long he had slept when he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside the house. Cao Peng opened his eyes and called out.
He sat up, put on his clothes and walked out of the guest room.
I saw Zhu Zan talking to Xia Houlan with a tired look on his face.
"Afu, I woke you up."
"Fourth brother, how is the situation?"
Zhu Zan gave a bitter smile, shook his head and said: "Still found nothing..."
