Under the light, Deng Ai carefully opened the door and poked his head into the room.
Cao Peng looked at him doubtfully, "Xiao Ai, it's so late, why haven't you gone to bed yet? Don't forget, you have to get up early to practice kung fu tomorrow."
Deng Ai grinned and smiled!
He had extremely deep feelings for Cao Peng and Deng Ai.
This is also an unwritten custom. Deng Ji is away from home all year round and spends very little time at home. On the one hand, it is because he is busy with work, and on the other hand, it is because he is physically disabled and has never been able to enter the center.
, can only work abroad.
When his official position was small, Deng Ai could still follow him.
But as Deng Ji's official position became larger and larger, it was very difficult for Deng Ai to follow his father.
Because the family members of officials with a salary of more than two thousand stone must stay in the capital and cannot accompany them to their posts. This is also to contain the officials, a kind of hostage method. Cao Peng has had ups and downs over the years, but he stayed at home longer than Deng.
There will be much more grain.
In the fifth year of Jian'an, after the Battle of Guandu, Cao Peng was imprisoned for three years.
In the tenth year of Jian'an, he was imprisoned for killing Wei Duan for three years... Although it was less than three years, he could get along with his family day and night. In addition, Deng Ai had a conflict with Cao Chong and went to live in Xingyang. This
It also made the relationship between this nephew and uncle even deeper.
Deng Ai usually talked to Cao Peng very casually.
Now he was hesitating, which made Cao Peng feel a little strange.
"Uncle, I heard that Uncle Bo Miao is going to Jiyang?"
"Um?"
"Can I come along?"
Cao Peng almost didn't think at all and said categorically: "No."
Unexpectedly, Deng Ai actually said back: "Why?"
"Ji Yang, it's too dangerous."
"But if I don't go to Jiyang, can Uncle Bo Miao succeed?"
Cao Peng was startled and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Previously, Deng Zhi had suggested that Deng Ai go to Deng Village to stabilize the minds of the Deng clan.
But Cao Peng didn't agree because he felt that it was too dangerous there... But he didn't expect that Deng Ai actually knew about this.
A trace of anger suddenly arose in my heart.
The voice also became colder, "Who told you about this?"
"Uncle, no one told me, it was the day before yesterday... When I read the new chapter written by the Prime Minister, some parts were not clear, so I went to Uncle Bo Miao to discuss things. I happened to be at the door and heard Uncle Bo Miao and Bo Hou Shibo discussing things.
, the news I heard by chance.
Uncle, don't be angry.
My nephew is no longer a child. This time I came with my uncle, hoping to gain more experience. My nephew can’t help my uncle much, but I really hope that I can share his worries. Over the years, I have been
It is his uncle who supports the family. Although his uncle never said anything, his nephew knows that his uncle is very hard. Since leaving Xingyang, his uncle has not been able to have a good rest along the way. He always goes to bed very late every day.
In this case, the nephew feels more useless, and the more he hopes to share his uncle's worries.
Dengcun is my hometown, but my nephew has never been back.
This time, the nephew is just returning to his ancestral home. If he can share his uncle's worries, the nephew will feel very comfortable in his heart.
Uncle and nephew also know that Jiyang is dangerous.
But no matter how dangerous Ji Yang is, it can't compare to the danger that my uncle encountered in Jiu Nu City... At that time, my uncle was only fourteen, and he was only three years older than his nephew. The nephew felt that although his nephew was not as talented as his uncle,
He is smart, but he can also take on some tasks."
Deng Ai stammered at the beginning.
Although his stuttering problem has improved greatly after being corrected by Cao Peng, he still can't help but break out when he is nervous. However, as he speaks more and more, his order becomes clearer and clearer, and his stuttering
It gradually disappeared, and in the end it became somewhat eloquent.
Cao Peng looked at Deng Ai and frowned.
As for Deng Ai, after saying these words, he met Cao Peng's eyes without fear.
"You really want to go?"
"kindness!"
Cao Peng's cheek twitched a few times, and after a long time, he sighed softly.
"Xiao Ai, it's not that my uncle doesn't want you to practice. It's just that you are still young and he really doesn't want you to participate in these things. Now, what you have to do is study hard and practice martial arts well. When you are older, uncle
How about I promise that I will definitely entrust you with important responsibilities?"
"No, I want to go!"
"no!"
Deng Ai's attitude was very firm.
But Cao Peng's attitude was equally firm.
Putting aside his love for this famous historical general in his previous life, Cao Peng couldn't let Deng Ai take risks easily just because he was his nephew.
As a result, both parties broke up unhappy...
Cao Peng felt very helpless when he saw Deng Ai leaving in anger.
In these days, there are not many people who go to war at the age of ten. I think that during the Battle of Wancheng, Cao Pi was only ten years old when he went to fight with Cao Cao. But when he thought of the dangers Cao Pi experienced at that time, Cao Peng did not dare to take risks.
Cao Pi was lucky and did not die tragically like his brother on the bank of Yushui River. Could Deng Ai have Cao Pi's luck? Even if he did, he would not let Deng Ai go to Jiyang.
There, it's too close to the front line!
If it doesn't work, let Deng Zhi go back first and test the Deng family's tone.
After thinking twice, Cao Peng finally made up his mind.
"Bohou."
"Here."
"I am going to let Bo Miao serve as the Jiyang Order. Please ask him for me what his plans are."
"Let Bo Miao be the Jiyang Order?"
Du Ji heard this and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"I will discuss this matter with Jia Taizhong before making a decision.
Let Bo Miao prepare first, and then go to Jiyang to take up his post after the fifteenth day. Before that, I will discuss it with him again."
"Here."
Du Ji bowed in response and quickly retreated.

In this way, after a short period of commotion, Nanyang County quickly calmed down.
Many people, at least as far as the Nanyang people in Wuyin and other places are concerned, have accepted Cao Peng's arrival. However, having two prefects in one county will inevitably lead to various contradictions and conflicts. On the one hand, the powerful people in Nanyang accepted it.
Cao Peng's existence, on the other hand, was silently observing. Because they still didn't know how Cao Peng would deal with the current situation. Liu Bei had been based in Nanyang County for a long time and had some strength; and behind Cao Peng, there was Cao Cao
existence. In name, Cao Peng seems to be the real governor of Nanyang.
These two people are bound to have some conflict.
Who wins and who loses?
It is not important to the powerful Nanyang power. What is important is how they choose in this conflict to obtain the maximum benefit.
Cao Peng could feel that countless pairs of eyes were watching him.
This also caused him a little bit of pressure.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Cao Peng did not make any big moves after taking office.
In addition to looking through documents and files, he spent most of his time meeting with officials from various counties in Nanyang. Sometimes, he would take people on inspection tours. Starting from the tenth day of the first lunar month, he visited Duyang and Ye County one after another.
And talked with local officials.
On the surface, he seemed to be still familiar with the situation.
But people who know Cao Peng know that Cao Peng is making plans.
Although Liu Bei experienced countless ups and downs and setbacks, he had to admit that the pressure Cao Peng brought to him was second only to Cao Cao.
"Youruo, I'm afraid it's not an option if this continues."
Liu Bei summoned Xun Chen, Zhuge Liang and Ma Liang and said with a wry smile: "Cao Youxue's calmness shows that he has a big plan. If he doesn't move, something big will happen. We are waiting now."
When it comes to how to deal with it, we need to make plans earlier.”
Ma Liang said softly: "This Cao Youxue can calm down."
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and pondered silently.
To be honest, Cao Peng's calmness made him feel very embarrassed.
Liu Biao has sent someone to inform him that he is not allowed to provoke disputes without permission. In other words, in this situation, Liu Bei cannot take a preemptive strike and can only respond with tricks. This also makes Liu Bei lose the opportunity. Who can guess?
Come on, Cao Peng’s next plan?
People often say that Zhuge Liang was unparalleled in his resourcefulness and had no plans left.
Perhaps, he has really reached such a height in history. But for now, at his age, he really cannot achieve this.
"Lord, we cannot act rashly with the current plan.
In Liang's opinion, it is better to provoke a conflict between Nanyang's powerful people and him. Only in this way can Cao Peng's plan be disrupted. Liang has a plan, but he doesn't know whether it will work."
When Liu Bei heard this, he was immediately happy.
"Kong Ming, what's your clever plan?"
Xun Chen on the side glanced at Zhuge Liang seemingly indifferently, frowned slightly, and a gleam flashed in his eyes...

At the same time, in the Kuai family's ancestral home far away in Zhonglu County, Nan County.
Kuai Yue asked in surprise: "Then Cao Youxue, did you really say that?"
"Exactly."
Kuai Liang said: "Bo Ping has stayed in Nanyang. It can be seen that Cao Peng is very friendly to him.
He sent someone to write a letter and only said six words, which I think is enough to express Cao Peng's attitude. Jingzhou affairs, Jing people's governance... These six words are basically consistent with the previous opinions of you and my brother. Cao Peng doesn't seem to want to
Disrupting the current structure of Jingzhou, so you and I, brothers..."
"What matters in Jingzhou should be governed by the people of Jingzhou?"
After Kuai Yue pondered for a long time, he suddenly clapped his hands and laughed.
"These six words in Cao Sanpian are exactly what I want.
Now that he has made his position clear, it means that there is no conflict between him and us. Then we have to express something, at least to show him our sincerity. By the way, he sent someone to find him
Mr. Liu, do you want to help Boping get his child back?"
"Exactly."
"Lingling Liu, what you did is very unethical.
How can I, a son of the Kuai family, be the heir of another person? In this case, you write a letter immediately and ask Kuai Fu to take him to Lingling. I will also contact Liu Ba and ask them to hand over the child and then return it to Boping. As for
Desheng..." Kuai Yue thought about it and sneered: "Let him go to Liqiu to think about his mistakes behind closed doors and concentrate on studying. I think Boping will be very satisfied with such a result."
Liqiu, located east of Zhonglu, has a field belonging to the Kuai family.
Sending that 'Desheng' to Li Qiu was tantamount to completely banishing him, and there would never be a chance for him to come back again.
For aristocratic families, family interests are above all else.
This is especially true for Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang.
In their eyes, there is no family member who cannot be abandoned.
Kuai Liang smiled slightly and said, "I believe Boping will be very satisfied."
