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!"
The young man was also a happy-go-lucky man. Seeing that Cao Peng had made up his mind, he stopped talking. He turned sideways and said, "Master Cao, please follow me."
"Senior brother please come first."
Cao Peng was polite and walked up the steps.
Zhou Qi and others finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Cao Peng entering the academy.
They walked out, and when they saw Cao Peng's horse, which was shining at night, they were amazed again. There were so many people coming here to be their disciples, whether they were from high-ranking families or from poor families, no one could compare with Cao Peng.
Like a friend, there is such a good horse. This is like the university in later generations. If you drive a Santana to go to school, it will make people jealous. But if you drive a Bugatti Veyron, it is not jealousy, but
It's respect. In the eyes of Zhou Qi and others, Cao Peng's Zhao Yebai is like a Bugatti Veyron.
The more this happens, the more it shows that Cao Peng is extraordinary.
In addition, he showed his murderous intent just now, which made Zhou Qi and others feel afraid.
Now, fear has turned into respect...
They are not on the same level at all, so how can they be compared?
Even though he may be young, he must have killed people and been on the battlefield; how can he compare to a BMW, a good horse, a beautiful woman accompanying him, and a fierce tiger?
As for official status, Cao Peng was a cavalry captain and an official of the imperial court, which was even more incomparable.
Listening to what he just said, it seems that Mr. Cao is still a famous person, so he cannot be offended.
If the strength is a little higher, jealousy will arise; but when the strength is a hundred times or a thousand times higher, people will not dare to feel jealous at all...
"Zhou Qi, don't provoke Mr. Cao in the future, otherwise you will be in trouble."
Zhou Qi nodded, with a complicated look in his eyes.
"By the way, haven't you asked your teacher's name yet?"
On the way to the academy to meet Hu Zhao, Cao Peng asked curiously.
The young man smiled gently and said, "I don't dare to take the name. I am Sima Yi in Xiawen County."
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Sima..."
Cao Peng felt a sudden feeling in his heart and stopped suddenly.
After being reborn in this world for more than three years, Cao Peng has met many famous people and outstanding people. At first, he would be shocked, such as Wei Yan, such as Dian Wei... But now, after seeing more, he has become numb. Even himself
His nephew has become Deng Ai, so why is he shocked?
But this time, he was really shocked!
Sima Yi, is this guy Sima Yi?
That Sima Yi who killed all the talented people in the Three Kingdoms, finally usurped the power of Cao Wei, and his son established the Western Jin Dynasty?
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there are several characters that Cao Peng hates the most. Unfortunately, this Sima Yi is one of them... In his opinion, Sima Yi is the one who got the true biography of Liu Bang, which is thick and dark. However, he has to admit that,
This Sima Yi is the only opponent in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms who can make Zhuge Liang feel fear.
Sima Yi was also stunned!
My name is Sima Yi, so you don’t have to react like that.
"Mr. Cao, what's wrong?"
Cao Peng came back to his senses and smiled quickly, "It's nothing, I just heard someone mentioned the name of Mr. Sima."
"oh?"
"Brother Ling, is this the former Chenggao Commander-in-Chief Ma Boda?"
Sima Boda is Sima Lang. In the second year of Jian'an, he was conscripted as a vassal of Sikong by Cao Cao and later served as the order of Chenggao. In the third year of Jian'an, Sima Lang resigned due to illness and is now recuperating in his hometown in Wen County. Sima Lang,
That is, Sima Yi's brother.
Sima Yi nodded, "That's right. Mr. Cao also knows about my brother?"
"Haha, not only your brother, Sima Bada is famous all over the world, who knows?"
When Sima Yi heard this, he suddenly showed a proud smile.
At this time, Sima Yi was not the Sima Yi who would be indifferent to joy and anger, unfazed by honor and disgrace, and wily and scheming in later generations. He was only twenty years old this year, and it was the time of success. Hearing Cao Peng's praise, he couldn't help but feel happy. However, it was not
He will be happy when everyone praises him, but it depends on the person. Who is Cao Peng? He is a young talent who became famous for his eight hundred words.
Even though Sima Yi was in Lu Hun Mountain, he was no stranger to things outside.
In particular, in order to make Cao Peng's apprenticeship successful, Cao Cao ordered someone to copy the "Eight Hundred Character Essay" and send it to Hu Zhao when he asked Hu Zhao.
After Hu Zhao saw it, he was also greatly impressed.
He once said to Sima Yi in private: "In terms of literary talent alone, Cao Babai is not inferior to Cai Bozhe."
What a shocking evaluation!
Cai Bojie, Cai Yong... Hu Zhao actually said that Cao Peng's literary talent was not inferior to Cai Yong's? As a son of a noble family, Sima Yi was also a very arrogant person. At first, he was not convinced, but after reading eight
After reading the Hundred-Character Essay and later finding the "Inscription on the Humble Room", Sima Yi was convinced. Therefore, when he heard that Cao Peng was coming to study with Hu Zhao, Sima Yi was also very happy.
When I go back in the future and talk to my elders and younger brothers, "Cao Babai is my junior brother," it will give me face.
Now when he heard Cao Peng praising him, how could Sima Yi feel dissatisfied?
"Brother Xian, you have given me a reward!"
What a good guy, I suddenly changed from a young master to a wise brother.
It may sound like there is a lack of respect, but in reality, it is full of affection.
Cao Peng didn't know why, but suddenly his hair stood on end.
Perhaps it was the old Sima Yi who left such a deep impression on him. That sinister impression made Cao Peng feel a little scared when Sima Yi called Cao Peng "virtuous brother". Fortunately, he immediately
Then he came over slowly and was polite to Sima Yi.
Sima Yi has eight brothers, and he is the second.
His grandfather, Sima Jun, served as the prefect of Yingchuan, and his father, Sima Fang, successively served as the commander of Luoyang and the Yin of Henan. When he was old, he became the captain of the cavalry.
Speaking of this, I have to mention Sima Fang alone.
The most proud thing in Sima Fang's life was that when he was appointed as the order of Luoyang, he promoted Cao Cao, who was only twenty at the time, to the position of Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang. This was also an extremely important event in Cao Cao's life.
One of the turning points. After Cao Cao came to power, he treated the Sima family very favorably. Especially Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang, Cao Cao used him very much. If it is said that Sima Yi's son Sima Zhao could later usurp the power of Cao Wei.
Sima Fang's unintentional act was to usurp the foundation of Cao Wei's power...
"Brother, the teacher is in the room, you can go alone."
Cao Peng's thoughts were racing one after another, and suddenly he heard Sima Yi calling his name.
Looking up, I saw at the end of the tree-lined path, a bookstore made of red tiles and blue bricks, standing quietly in front of me.
