In fact, during the more than ten days in bed, Cao Peng had thought about many things.
Deep down in his heart, he still had some regrets about being reborn in ancient times. Being betrayed by his best friend was like a thorn in his heart, making him very uncomfortable. But what if he was uncomfortable? He couldn't go back!
This is a reality he cannot change.
All kinds of experiences in his previous life made Cao Peng feel very tired.
In particular, Yangzi's words before shooting lingered in his mind for a long time: In the next life, don't act like a hero again!
hero?
It sounds very beautiful, but who can know the blood and tears behind it?
People often say that "good people are not rewarded"! Cao Peng didn't believe it at first...but now, he can't tolerate his disbelief. In the economic era, the west wind is gradually changing. Reform and opening up have made China take off, but is it not a kind of degeneration? Cao Peng is unable to change,
He just wanted to be himself. But even so, it still ended in a miserable way... Looking back, Cao Peng would feel a slight sense of loss, and even feel inexplicably tired.
Reborn in the first year of Jian'an, Cao Peng had to make a choice!
To be precise, the first year of Jian'an was not the Three Kingdoms, but the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty when heroes competed for power.
Cao Cao has just begun to serve as the emperor and command the princes; Sun Quan seems to have not yet ascended the throne; as for the great uncle of the Han Dynasty, it seems that his name has not been corrected.
This is still a troubled time with an uncertain situation.
Maybe he can integrate into this troubled world... But Cao Peng knew very well that the Three Kingdoms had not yet appeared, but the power of the tripod had already appeared faintly. Cao Peng was only thirteen years old this year, and it was already too late to join this game! He missed it
The best time to rise.
In this case, we can only rely on it!
But, who can he rely on?
Emotionally, Cao Peng preferred Liu Bei.
But rationally, Cao Peng knew that the best choice was Cao Cao.
Now that Liu Bei is crossing the river, he cannot protect himself. As for Sun Wu in Jiangdong, he was thrown aside by Cao Peng from the beginning. The structure of Sun Wu in Jiangdong is a court controlled by the Jiangdong gentry. It can be said that it is the most powerful in the entire Jiangdong.
, not the Sun family, but those noble families who were attached to the Sun family. Because these noble families had been fighting with the local Shanyue for many years, every family raised private soldiers. I remember that at the end of the Three Kingdoms, the entire Jiangdong military force was almost single-handedly controlled by the Lu family... And this
The Lu family is an ancient noble family in Jiangdong.
During the Battle of Chibi, why did all the nobles and civil servants surrender?
It's not that they are disloyal, but that their first consideration is not the Sun regime, but their family.
Even if they surrender to Cao Cao, they can still rely on the troops and horses in their hands to be as stable as Mount Tai in Jiangdong... Therefore, Lu Su persuaded Sun Quan: Anyone in Jiangdong can surrender, but not for the Lord!
Therefore, it is impossible for Cao Peng to choose Soochow.
As for Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and their ilk, there will be no chance of Cao Peng getting ahead...
In this case, it seems that Cao Cao is the only one Cao Peng can choose. However, Cao Peng knows very well that although Cao Cao promotes and selects people from poor families regardless of their origins, there is a condition for this, and that is talent! Just like Cao Cao's recruitment of talents.
The order said that anyone with a certain skill can be hired. So, what strengths do you have that can be valued or even reused by Cao Cao?
Cao Peng lowered his head and spread his palms.
Suddenly, he made fists with both hands, stepped on his feet, twisted his waist, and punched empty air.
If you want to get ahead in troubled times, you can only use force and wisdom!
resourcefulness...
Cao Peng did not dare to say how outstanding he was. After all, if he was really good at this conspiracy, he would not be betrayed by his friends.
Force?
Cao Peng seemed to have more confidence.
In his previous life, he had studied under the local master Baiyuan Tongbeiquan for three years. However, in the late martial arts era, the status of martial arts was extremely embarrassing. After ten years of hard training, he could not stop a bullet. So when he grew up,
Cao Peng gave up practicing and concentrated on work.
I vaguely remember that in the second year after starting work, Cao Peng paid New Year's greetings to his mentor.
After learning that he had given up martial arts, the gray-haired old martial artist's eyes revealed sadness and confusion...
In the late martial arts era, martial arts became a gimmick for physical fitness and even fame.
But in this day and age...
Cao Peng couldn't help but close his eyes and try to recall all the things he practiced martial arts back then. Fortunately, although he later gave up practicing martial arts, the things he learned were deeply engraved in his memory. However, he looked like this
His body is really too weak! If he wants to pick up those skills, he has to put in ten times, twenty times, or even a hundred times the effort! He is poor in literature and military, but he has a long way to go!
In addition to these, Cao Peng has a wide range of interests.
Criminal investigation is a stressful job, where you are on the line between life and death all day long.
If you don’t want to be crushed to death by that kind of pressure, you must learn to relax... Some people drink alcohol; some people indulge in sex. And Cao Peng’s way of releasing work pressure is different, reading books, collecting books! See all kinds of
He has a collection of all kinds of books, without any value. As long as he likes them, he will buy them and collect them...so that later, Cao Peng's home became like a small library, collecting all kinds of books.
Such books.
“The Great Wall was not built in a day!”
Cao Peng talked to himself, a faint smile appeared on his delicate face.
Cao Ji was born tall and thick, and he looked powerful. But if you look at Cao Peng's appearance, you would never guess what Cao Ji looks like. People often say that children follow their mothers. Cao Peng looks more like Zhang... but due to his congenital
Lack of nutrition made him look very weak.
Thin arms and thin legs, to use an inappropriate metaphor: No matter how much you chew, you won’t be able to squeeze out even three ounces of oil!
This body, this physique...
It is estimated that he will not survive long in such troubled times.
Cao Peng stood in front of the only bronze mirror in his home, looked at the blurry image in the mirror, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Wanting to strengthen your body is not a simple matter.
Cao Peng stretched his muscles a little in the narrow room, and then he was so tired that he couldn't stop panting. Bai Yuantong's basic skills were heavy on the back fist, but Cao Peng's basic skills were really bad! How bad was it? Even Cao Peng
Peng himself felt embarrassed to explain.
After sitting on the couch and resting for a while, Cao Peng gradually regained his energy.
Stepping out of the room, he saw Cao Ji preparing to put out the fire and pack up his tools.
"Dad, are you closing the door now?"
"Yeah, apart from you, Uncle Wang, I haven't seen a single guest for most of the day, so I guess there won't be anything going on today.
I'm going to pack my things. Tomorrow, your mother and I will go to Zhongyang Temple to ask for talisman water. We won't do any work today...Peng'er, are you planning to go out?"
"Well, I've been bored at home for a few days and I want to take a walk around the area!"
"It's okay to go out for a walk, but if you stay at home, you might get sick from boredom... But you have to come back early, otherwise your mother will be anxious again."
Cao Peng showed a bright smile, nodded in agreement, and walked out of the courtyard.
"This child is seriously ill, but he is much more cheerful than before!"
Watching Cao Peng go out, Cao Ji also showed a happy smile on his face.
In the past, Cao Peng was a bit withdrawn and didn't like to talk. In addition, he was weak and weak, so he rarely went out. When he went out to play, he was forced to go out by Cao Ji and his wife. Even if he went out, he would go to Wang Meng's house at most and meet Wang Mai.
Just say two sentences.
Now he takes the initiative to go out for a walk, which is undoubtedly a big progress.
Cao Ji was a straightforward man with no twists and turns. Naturally, it was impossible to imagine that Cao Peng's body had turned into the soul of a thirty-year-old man.
Little did he know that Cao Peng was also complaining in his heart!
Damn it, Cao Peng is too homely...
They are simply scarier than the otakus and otakus of later generations.
After searching through his memory fragments, I didn't find much useful information.
I only know that Cao Peng studied "Cangjie Pian" during his lifetime, but other than that, most of it was useless. However, Cao Peng was a filial son during his lifetime, and he had endless attachment to his sister Cao Nan and his mother Zhang. Many memories,
They are all scenes of him playing with his sister when he was a child.
I don’t know what this sister is like.
Cao Peng walked slowly along the road, admiring the town in front of him from 1,800 years ago.
Zhongyang Town is not big, with a total of two streets and a path around the city, forming a field shape. The whole town is divided into four parts, divided into southeast, northwest and northwest. In the center is a market, which is also the busiest place in the town.
.Since entering Zhongyang Mountain, you must pass through Zhongyang Town, so although this town is small, it has all the necessary organs.
There are restaurants, shops...
The weather has turned cold, but the market in the town is very lively.
Cao Peng was tired from walking, so he sat on the side of the road and looked at the pedestrians coming and going, feeling particularly calm in his heart.
"Afu!"
While he was enjoying himself, Cao Peng suddenly heard someone calling his name.
Turning around and looking over, I saw Wang Mai running from the market carrying a bamboo basket on his back.
"Why did you come out?"
Wang Mai walked to Cao Peng, sat down, took off the backpack and put it in front of him.
In the bamboo basket, there were some hunting tools and a piece of coarse cloth. I don’t know what it was used for. Wang Mai wore a gray coarse cloth with a slanted front and a large belt around his waist. A square of black cloth
Baotou, the forehead is covered with fine crystal beads of sweat...
"Didn't you go home?"
Wang Mai said: "My uncle is going to the mountains tomorrow. My father and I will go with him, so my father asked me to buy some things."
"Oh okay!"
Cao Peng's heart moved, and his heart suddenly felt warm.
He knew that Cao Ji went to the mountain to seek talisman water for him, and that Wang Meng and his son also went to the mountain together for him.
It feels so good to be cared for!
Cao Peng whispered: "Wang Mai, thank uncle for me."
Is Fu Shui useful?
Cao Peng knew very well...
But he couldn't live up to this person's intention.
Wang Mai chuckled and said, "What's there to thank you for? We are brothers."
brother!
Cao Peng's heart suddenly twitched.
I was betrayed by my best friend, and that person also kept saying, "We are brothers." But in the end...
After Cao Peng was reborn, he was inevitably a little sensitive and suspicious.
Especially the word 'brother' was like a needle, pricking his heart with blood. For a moment, he was silent, not knowing how to respond.
Wang Mai couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw that he didn't speak for a long time and his face looked a little ugly.
"Afu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"Oh, it's okay!"
Cao Peng came back to his senses and forced a smile, "I just feel a little tired suddenly... I'm going home. You should go back early. Remember to thank uncle on my behalf."
"How about I give it to you?"
"No need, I can go back by myself."
After saying that, Cao Peng stood up.
But just when he turned to leave, there was a sudden noise in the market.
"Shopkeeper Cheng, this thing obviously belongs to me!"
"You bitch is worthy of such a fine jade... This is a treasure passed down from my family. I was holding it in my hand just now and playing with it. How did it become yours?"
"Shopkeeper Cheng, this is a treasure passed down from my ancestors, how could you..."
Snapped!
A loud slap interrupted the pleading voice.
"Who am I, Cheng Ji, and you don't want to ask about it? Will I covet your things? I tell you, if you don't hand it over today, don't even think about leaving me."
Cao Peng shivered with excitement and turned to look at the market.
That pleading voice was so familiar to him! Although he had only been there for a few days, he still recognized it at once. It was the voice of his mother Zhang...
