At dawn, Xudu ushered in the second snowfall in the eleventh year of Jian'an. The snow was so heavy that the sky and the earth turned into white in an instant.
An assassin appeared in Sikong Mansion and almost killed envoy Lu Han...
Before noon, the news had spread throughout the streets and almost everyone knew about it.
The security at Xudu City Gate has been strengthened, and pedestrians entering and exiting are subject to strict inspections. Groups of Zhijinwu patrolling the streets and alleys can be seen, making the atmosphere suddenly become particularly solemn. Shops are still open, but there are obviously few customers.
Many of the northern cities were deserted and deserted, completely different from the hustle and bustle of the past. The dignitaries in the city strictly ordered their children not to go out without authorization. They also warned: If they cause trouble at this time, no one can save their lives...
So, stay at home honestly.
Although the dandies were reluctant, they also knew that this matter was no small matter.
Assassinate foreign envoys?
At this moment, if you are involved, I am afraid that even the emperor will not be able to save you.
"I heard that it was Zhou Buyi who ordered it."
"Yeah, it's really unexpected."
"What can't be imagined... That boy has long disliked him. How arrogant he was after he came to Xudu? Such a person must have ulterior motives. He even dared to assassinate foreign envoys. From what I saw, he was clearly not alive.
I'm tired of it. Hehe, Sikong will never let him go."
"Zhang Heizi, didn't you say two months ago that you would not doubt the wisdom and martial arts of that week?"
"Bah, bah, bah, don't talk nonsense...if such words spread, your head will be lost."
In the courtyard, a group of servants were whispering.
In the room, Mrs. Huan's face was as pale as paper, as if she had lost her soul.
Since last night, she has been ordered not to leave the room. This is also the most severe time Cao Cao has treated Mrs. Huan since she entered Cao Cao's house. Last night, when she heard that something happened to Zhou Buji, her whole body went crazy.
As if she was crazy, she ran out quickly and wanted to ask Cao Cao for mercy. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao didn't even see her. He just asked Dian Wei to tell her to go back to her room.
What exactly is going on?
If you don't doubt this week, how can you secretly poison the envoy Lu Han?
Also, I heard that the assassin was the little confused person next to Cang Shu... She used to seem quite well-behaved, but I didn't expect that she turned out to be a dead soldier.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Huan couldn't help but feel cold.
She looked at Huanfang who was kneeling in front of the bed, and suddenly shouted sharply: "This is the Junjie you mentioned, and this is the foolproof guarantee you made."
"lady……"
"Shut up!"
Mrs. Huan closed her eyes, but there was a buzzing in her ears.
After a while, she finally calmed down and said softly: "How does Sikong plan to deal with Zhou Buyi?"
"It is said that when Zhou Buyi learned that the matter was exposed, he committed suicide by taking poison. However, Cao Peng's son rushed him away and asked Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji to save him."
Before Huanfang finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind coming.
Immediately afterwards, a bang was heard. Huanfang's head buzzed and he fell to the ground.
Snapped!
A Bronze Lord fell to the ground, rolled twice, and then stood still.
Blood flowed down his forehead, instantly blurring Huanfang's eyes.
But he didn't dare to wipe it, so he got up quickly and crawled to the ground in fear.
"Child Cao Peng, is that what you said?"
"I……"
"Go on."
Huanfang was still confused, but she didn't dare to hesitate.
He knew very well that the aunt in front of him seemed weak, but she was also a ruthless person. Even if she was imprisoned by Cao Cao now, killing him would be easier than crushing an ant. Huanfang's heart was pounding.
Jumping around, he replied: "However, my nephew heard that although Zhou Buyi was saved, he seemed to have become a fool. Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo thought that he suffered from soul-leaving syndrome, so... Sikong Jian
When I couldn't find anything out, I handed him over to the envoy of Lu Han, who will deal with him. The current situation is unknown."
"Soul-leaving syndrome?"
Mrs. Huan couldn't help but be stunned.
She hesitated and asked, "Could it be just pretending?"
"It is said that it is not... At noon, Xia Houshang had sent the boy to the post house and handed it over to Gao Shun, Lu Han's envoy."
"Surprisingly, there is such a thing?"
Mrs. Huan looked confused.
At this moment, a servant called from outside the house: "Madam is here."
Mrs. Huan was startled and quickly stood up.
But before she could reach the door, she heard the ringing sound.
The door opened, and Mrs. Bian walked into the house with her two maids.
"Huanlang, meet my sister."
Now the situation is unforgiving. Regardless of whether Mrs. Huan wants to see Mrs. Bian or not, she must be respectful and look happy.
No way, who made Cao Chong Zhou Buyi's friend?
Mrs. Bian hurriedly stepped forward, supported Mrs. Huan, and said softly: "Sister, I heard something happened, so I came to see you... You don't look good, so you need to wear more clothes. By the way, why?
Only one man made a brazier? How can he stand it in this freezing cold weather?"
Mrs. Huan cursed in her heart: You came to see my joke.
With a forced smile on her face, she said softly: "Cang Shu made a careless friend, and something like this happened. My little sister feels guilty, so how can she have the mind to care about it?"
"Hey, what does this matter have to do with Cang Shu?"
As she spoke, Mrs. Bian glanced at Huanfang, whose face was covered in blood.
Huanfang understood in her heart and quickly bowed out.
Mrs. Bian waved her hand and asked the two maids to retreat, and pulled Mrs. Huan to sit down. At this time, a maid outside the house brought two braziers, which made the room a little warmer. Mrs. Bian took off her robe and
He put it on Mrs. Huan's body and then sat down.
"Don't worry, sister, it'll be fine."
"How can it be okay?" Mrs. Huan looked bitter and said softly: "I heard that Sikong has ordered Zidan to go to Yingchuan, but I didn't know... That kid from Cangshu has an arrogant temper. If Sikong is angered, I will
I'm worried about him...Sister, Cang Shu and Zhou Buyi are just casual acquaintances. They like to recite poems and compose poems together, and they don't have much friendship. Who would have thought that Zhou Buyi would... I was also negligent.
Keep the assassin by your side... Now, even if I'm full of words, I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly. I pity Cang Shu..."
"Sister, what are you thinking about?"
Mrs. Bian said warmly: "This matter has nothing to do with you. The assassin is cunning, and it is not your fault. Speaking of which, I have seen that little confused man a few times, but I didn't notice the difference? If you are wrong, then I can't escape.
Lose the relationship. As for Cang Shu, nothing will happen. Don't worry.
I heard someone say that the husband was very angry at first.
However, after Youxue's persuasion, he just sent Zidan to Yingchuan to inquire.
Since Zhou Buyi has been caught and has been sent to Lu Han's mission, it also shows that Sikong has no intention of continuing to pursue the case."
"real?"
"certainly……"
Mrs. Bian looked very sincere.
She whispered: "However, I'm afraid Cang Shu will also be affected to some extent...
It's no wonder that when Zhou Fuyi made such nonsense, Cang Shu refused to refute it. It made You Xue feel embarrassed. Sikong would still be dissatisfied to some extent. Now that something like this happened again, it was inevitable that he would feel dissatisfied.
I'm a little unhappy with Cang Shu, but it's nothing to think about. After a while, I'll naturally calm down... So, if my sister is really worried, she might as well have someone talk to her friends."
Mrs. Huan was silent.
Mrs. Bian did not stay too long. After comforting Mrs. Huan for a few words, she left.
However, as soon as she stepped forward, Mrs. Huan's face suddenly darkened.
"Auntie, look at this..."
Huanfang had already washed the blood off her face, slipped into the room, and asked in a low voice.
Do you really want to bow to Cao Peng?
It’s not that Mrs. Huan can’t lose face.
She would do anything for her son. But were those words Mrs. Bian just said out of good intentions?
She doesn't believe it!
Mrs. Huan also heard some news that after Lu Han's delegation left, Cao Peng would be sent to his post.
In other words, Cao Peng is about to re-enter the officialdom... At this time, if Mrs. Huan comes forward to contact Cao Peng, it will give people a snobbish feeling; on the other hand, what is your purpose of contacting foreign ministers privately?
In the past, Mrs. Huan and Cao Peng had a relationship with Cao Chong, so it was only natural. Even Cao Cao would not have expressed anything about it. After all, Cao Peng took the initiative to write to Cao Chong and asked him to strengthen people's livelihood.
He also appreciated his study. But now, everyone knows that Cao Chong and Cao Peng had some differences. Even when Cao Peng was in Xingyang for a year, Cao Chong did not go over to visit Cao Peng.
On the contrary, Cao Zhang went to Xingyang to study.
Everyone knows that while they say they are studying, they are actually accompanying Cao Peng.
Because of this incident, Cao Zhang got a lot of points. Cao Cao's favorite generals such as Xiahou Dun were full of praise for Cao Zhang's behavior.
It's really too eye-catching for me to show up at this time.
"Huanfang!"
"Here!"
"You go to Yingchuan Academy immediately and pay a visit to the Fifth Young Master.
I think his Zidan has arrived by now, and Cang Shu should have heard the news. Tell Cang Shu that he hasn't submitted his homework to the teacher for a long time!"
This matter can only be done by Cang Shu himself.
Anyway, Mrs. Huan must not come forward. As for whether she can restore Cao Peng's favor, it depends on Cao Chong's own practice. In this regard, Mrs. Huan is very confident. Cao Cao's three older children, Cao Zhanghaolie, lose
He is straightforward; Cao Zhi is elegant but frivolous. Cao Chong's intelligence may not be inferior to that of Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi. In terms of knowledge, he seems to pay more attention to practical knowledge.
Huanfang heard this and quickly bowed to obey the order.
He left in a hurry, while Mrs. Huan stood at the door, watching Huanfang's leaving figure.
Although this nephew is smart, his magnanimity and style are inevitably a bit small. He hates Cao Peng, and Mrs. Huan is not unaware of it. But she believes that Huanfang can clearly distinguish the priorities. And she doesn't know what to send.
He is a talented person, but this nephew seems to be the most trustworthy.
Looking at the snow in the courtyard, Mrs. Huan sighed softly.
In his heart, a trace of regret suddenly arose, and he shook his head: If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?

"Let him return to Seoul?"
Lu Lan opened her watery eyes and looked at Cao Peng doubtfully.
She stood at the door of the house and saw a young man lying there blankly, his eyes dull and his spirit listless.
"There is no place for him to stand in the Central Plains."
Cao Peng sighed and said softly: "This kid is also a poor person. After being taken advantage of, he almost became a scapegoat in the end."
"You mean, that Han family dog?"
Lu Lan knew Liu Guang and was not a stranger to him.
When Dong Zhuo was in Chang'an, he often had dog fights with the Han Emperor.
This Liu Guang defeated Dong Zhuo's fighting dogs many times and made Dong Zhuo lose face several times.
Lü Bu was Dong Zhuo's personal follower at that time, and basically stayed with him. At that time, Diao Chan had not yet appeared, and Wang Yun had not offered any tricks. Therefore, the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu was extremely close. Every time Lü Bu went home, he would also
When Liu Guang was mentioned, there was a hint of ridicule in his words. Therefore, when Cao Peng mentioned Liu Guang's name, Lu Lan immediately recalled that this was Liu Guang's nickname in Chang'an.
"Now it's not a Han dog, but the famous Linyi Marquis and Da Sinong."
"Hmph, a dog's ear."
Obviously, Lu Lan's sense of Liu Guang is not very good.
Cao Peng stepped into the room.
Zhou Buji heard the footsteps and turned to look at him.
"Who are you?"
He had a confused look on his face and confusion in his eyes.
At first, Cao Peng didn't believe that he was suffering from soul-leaving syndrome. But later, after repeated trials, he had to face this reality.
To be honest, he had never thought of sending Zhou Buji to Sanhan.
The reason why he broke into the Linyi Marquis Mansion was because he was angry for a moment. However, he didn't expect to be misunderstood by Cao Cao. Seeing that Zhou Buyi had really lost his memory, he handed it over to Gao Shun.
Gao Shun was quite helpless and had no choice but to take him in.
Cao Peng smiled slightly and said, "Who I am is not important. What matters is that you know who you are?"
"I?"
Zhou Busu blurted out, "My name is Cao Peng."
Damn it!
Cao Peng immediately lowered his face and turned to look at Lu Lan, only to see Lu Lan giggling.
It's strange to say that after Zhou Buyi woke up, he forgot many things. He forgot his name, his origin, where he came from, and what relatives he had at home. However, he remembered Cao Peng.
He even thought he was Cao Peng.
According to Hua Tuo's speculation: Zhou Buyi probably thought of Cao Peng before he fell into coma. After being rescued, he subconsciously wanted to forget his past experiences, so he only remembered the name Cao Peng.
But this gave Cao Peng another headache.
Lu Lan came over at this time and squatted down next to the bed.
She said softly: "If your name is not Cao Peng, he is Cao Peng."
"Then who am I?"
Zhou Buyi looked confused, looked at Lu Lan innocently and said: "Sister, who are you?"
"Your...name is Lu Xin."
"Lu Xin?"
"Yes, your name is Lu Xin, and your nickname is Jushan."
"My name is Lu Xin, Lu Jushan?"
"kindness!"
Cao Peng was confused when he heard this, and quickly pulled Lu Lan aside.
"Lingqi, what are you doing?"
Lu Lan chuckled, "Didn't you say that he is quite pitiful?
Since he can't remember anything, I might as well let him be my younger brother. It's only natural that I take him back to Seoul."
"Are you kidding me?"
Cao Peng suddenly became nervous.
What if this guy doesn't really have amnesia, or if he wakes up one day?
With this guy's intelligence, he might bring big trouble to Lu Lan's family... He shook his head repeatedly and said seriously: "I don't agree with this!"
