Chapter 171 Traveling to Jiangdong

"Xiuruo, does Mr. Cao have an ulterior motive for his mission to Jiangdong this time?"

It was already late, and Chen Qun had not slept for almost two days and one night, but he did not feel sleepy. After dinner, he knocked on Xun Yan's door.

Xun Yan asked: "Why did this statement come from the long article?"

Chen Qun hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Third brother, if it's hard to tell, that's fine! But I don't understand why you brought You Xue with you when you went as envoy to Jiangdong?"

"this……"

Xun Yan's slender fingers tapped the table twice.

He stood up, walked to the door, glanced both ways, and then closed the door.

"If others ask, I will never explain.

But we are family friends, and I don’t want to hide it from you. My mission to Jiangdong this time does have another important responsibility. Originally, I didn’t want to bring anyone with me, but Wen Ruo said: I have a heavy responsibility on this trip, and I must have one or two people by my side. Powerful people. Those who are old and famous are easy to be seen through; but there are not many people who are young and unknown who can be used in a big way. I just casually said at that time: There is a book boy missing around me. Wen Ruo then asked me He visited Cao Youxue and said that he was smart, quick-witted, skilled and knowledgeable, and could help him wherever he went.

Later Fengxiao also said the same to me, including Gongda... You also know that Gongda is a reserved person who rarely talks and rarely praises others.

He seemed to be quite complimentary of Cao Youxue, which was indeed rare. In addition, I really needed such a person to accompany me, so I agreed.

By the way, it seems that you and Cao Peng have a good relationship, so what feelings do you have towards him?"

Chen Qun's grandfather, Chen Shi, and Xun Yan's grandfather, Xun Shu, were both the four chiefs of Yingchuan, so they had close ties with each other.

Although Xun Yan did not answer what the purpose of his trip to Jiangdong was, he gave Chen Qun a positive answer. Chen Qun naturally could not ask further questions, because if he continued to ask, something might happen. Xun Yan thought of both families. Friendship revealed such a piece of information, which was enough for Chen Qun. As for what Xun Yan was going to Jiangdong for, Chen Qun was not able to know...

After hearing Xun Yan's question, Chen Qun hesitated for a moment and replied softly: "I can't see through Youxue."

"Well……"

When Xun Yan heard what Chen Qun said, his expression changed a little.

He knew that Chen Qun had a good sense of knowing people.

People's eyesight is never bad, and they can generally tell the difference between good and bad.

Generally speaking, when someone says something like "can't see through", it actually means that the person he speaks of has real talent and learning.

It is precisely because of his true talent and practical knowledge that he says he cannot see through it.

This evaluation cannot be said to be low.

Xun Yan scratched his head, stood up and wandered around the room, "If this is the case, how can he be willing to serve as my assistant?"

Yes, most people with real talent and knowledge are proud and will not submit to others, let alone be someone else's pedagogue. Even if it is just for show, it is unlikely.

Chen Qun said: "Youxue has integrity, a noble nature, and is upright.

But he is not the kind of person who relies on his talents and is arrogant. He knows the importance and right from wrong. In my opinion, he may not care about this kind of thing. As long as my brother explains it to him, he should not refuse. Otherwise, I Go over and talk to him, then report back to brother."

"This... is also good."

Xun Yan thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Chen Qun then said goodbye and went straight to Cao Peng's residence.

Cao Peng also lived in Chen's mansion, but it was a side house, and he and Xia Houlan shared a room.

When Chen Qun came over, Cao Peng was admiring the sword under the lamp. Under the dim light, the two swords gave off a cold halo.

Xia Houlan sat aside and watched with envy, and was speechless.

"Youxue, if these two knives of yours were put on the market, I'm afraid they would cost tens of thousands of gold."

He Yi Zhan is made of Caidu Mountain Iron. The blade has fine cloud patterns and is extremely beautiful. The blade stem and the blade have a dragon-swallowing mouth, and the peach and papaya carvings make the blade look more domineering... It can be seen that Cao Ji is a It must have taken a lot of effort to create these two broad swords.

We tested Cao Peng's situation as much as possible and paid great attention to every detail.

So much so that when Cao Peng held the sword, he actually had a feeling of blood connection... The blood groove on the edge of the knife was glowing with dark red blood. This was the most striking feature of Cao Ji's knife-making. Each knife made created a , must contain blood, making the sword more spiritual. Xia Houlan couldn't help but sigh. He began to be a little jealous of Cao Peng. Having a father who was so good at making swords was actually a rare blessing.

Cao Peng couldn't help but laugh!

He picked up the deerskin bag from the couch and put the two knives into the bag.

Then he put it aside, resting his head on the sword, and chatted with Xia Houlan about home affairs with a smile.

I have known Xia Houlan for almost more than a year, but the two of them really haven't had a chance to talk about their feelings together.

"Ziyou, you must have suffered a lot when you were learning to shoot."

"I can't say that I endured hardship, but I have never been favored by the teacher."

Ziyou is Xiahoulan's cousin.

He returned to his couch with a rather complicated expression.

"Is your silver gun a gift from your teacher? I see that you never let go of the gun. Does it have any special meaning in it?"

Xia Houlan shook his head and nodded.

"My gun is made in imitation of the teacher's gentian silver gun."

"Gentian Silver Spear?"

Cao Peng felt that this name seemed familiar.

"Yes, the teacher had a famous Yue craftsman in his early years and made it from the fine iron of the Red Vermilion Mountain. The spear is one foot long, has dragon scale patterns, and weighs forty-eight kilograms. Because the blade of the spear resembles gentian, it is called the gentian spear. The teacher's favorite thing. Unfortunately, I didn't get the true inheritance from the teacher, so... Later, the teacher passed the gentian gun to my brother who studied with me. My brother liked me when he saw me, and later when he was an official in Changshan County, So he paid a lot of money and spent a year to imitate the teacher's gentian gun and build this gun for me, named Dragon Scale."

"oh!"

Chang Shan, Gentian Spear, Tong Yuan...

When these three nouns were linked together, a name quietly emerged in Cao Peng's mind.

It can't be such a coincidence!

Cao Peng sat up suddenly, stared at Xia Houlan and asked, "Ziyou, what's the name of your brother?"

Xia Houlan glanced at Cao Peng in surprise, "My brother's name is Zhao Yun, and his courtesy name is Zilong...what's wrong?"

"Is your brother's name Zhao Yun?"

Cao Peng asked in shock.

Xia Houlan was really startled by Cao Peng's expression, so she quickly sat up.

"Yes, do you know him?"

"Changshan really decides Ren's family name, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong?"

"Um!"

"Hahaha...I don't know you."

After Cao Peng finished speaking, he lay down again.

Xia Houlan was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. Why would you act so biting if you don't know me? I thought you had a grudge against Zilong!

Little did he know that Cao Peng was feeling happy at this moment.

The way of humanity is: there is no place to be found even if one wears iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there!

If we say that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the most familiar one among the Shu-Han camp, the most beloved among all the Loli ladies, and the most beloved one, I am afraid it is Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong. He is a courageous Zhao Zilong... Changbanpo Seven into Seven

He went out and regarded the millions of troops as nothing. In later generations, Zhao Yun has become synonymous with loyalty and bravery. When mentioning the name Zhao Yun, it can be said that everyone knows and knows it.

One Lu, two Zhao, three Dianwei!

According to the legend in the novel, after Lu Bu's death, Zhao Yun was ranked first.

Cao Peng was thinking before, how to recruit talented people?

It turns out that the talented person is around!

"Ziyou, is your brother very powerful?"

"Yeah, better than me."

Nonsense, of course I know better than you.

Cao Peng asked with a smile: "Then he is now..."

"Still under Gongsun Zan's tent."

"Well……"

Xia Houlan seemed to understand what Cao Peng meant and suddenly laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

"Sir, do you want to recruit my brother?"

"Uh... Why, can't you? Besides, you two have such a good relationship, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing if you could be together?"

"Difficult, difficult, difficult."

Xia Houlan laughed loudly and lay down.

"Why is it so difficult?"

"My brother has great ambitions.
