After arriving at Shentuze, Liu Guang had been in a unhappy mood.

Hu Chuquan's attitude seemed a bit ambiguous. After several contacts, he was still unwilling to give Liu Guang a definite answer. This was also the case with King Youxian Qubei. On several occasions, he even had an unhappy relationship with Liu Guang.

scattered.

Although Liu Guang was mentally prepared and had frequent contact with Zuo Xian Wang Liu Bao in private, the feeling of being rejected made people feel a little uncomfortable after all. Especially when Huchuquan and Qubei had vowed to

Will be loyal to the Han Emperor... Liu Guang was full of confidence when he went to Saibei this time, but he never imagined that it would be such a result.

Sitting in the military tent, Liu Guang was in a very depressed mood.

After spending several years in Chang'an and accompanying the Han Emperor through countless turmoils, Liu Guang's mind had already matured and he was not the kind of young man who could not stand setbacks. However, faced with such a situation, Liu Guang still could not suppress the anger in his heart.

"Marquis Linyi, why are you sighing?"

Just when Liu Guang let out a long breath, someone walked in from outside the tent.

"Leng Gong?"

Liu Guang couldn't help but exclaimed, and quickly stood up and came forward to greet him.

Since Leng Fei was injured and was recovering from his injuries in hiding, Liu Guang rarely had contact with Leng Fei.

Looking at it now, Leng Fei's face is still a little pale and a bit haggard... Liu Guang stepped forward and was extremely pleasantly surprised.

"Leng Gong, are you feeling well?"

Leng Fei smiled and said, "It's just a flesh wound. I have recovered a lot in the past few days."

I heard that the Marquis of Linyi was in a bad mood recently, so he came to visit. What? Could it be that the negotiations with the Xiongnu were not going well?"

Liu Guang sighed softly, "Leng Gong, it's hard to describe in one word."

He walked outside the military tent and saw that there was no suspicious person outside the tent, so he lowered the curtain and waved his hand for Leng Fei to sit aside.

He told Leng Fei exactly what happened in the past few days.

Liu Guanglin came and cursed fiercely: "I have known for a long time that Huchuquan is just a wolf's ambition... When the Southern Xiongnu was beaten by Tanshihuai and had nowhere to go, it was my Han Dynasty who took them in and gave Shuofang to the Southern Xiongnu to recuperate.

Now, the imperial court needs their help, but they are refusing to do so and giving various reasons, which are actually just excuses."

Leng Fei looked at Liu Guang with concerned eyes and sighed softly after a long time.

The Marquis of Linyi is indeed the pillar of the Han Dynasty. In terms of intelligence and strategy, he is far superior to most of the Han clan members. If he had been born twenty years earlier, he might be able to rule alone now, and his achievements would not be inferior to those of Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and others...

However, sometimes he still seems to be unable to keep his composure. Like now, in fact, he should have been prepared long before he went on the mission.

"The Marquis of Linyi must not be angry. Hu people are cold-natured and unfaithful. This is as expected.

Nowadays, the situation in the DPRK is unstable, the DPRK is weak, and His Majesty has an empty reputation, but he has to be oppressed by the old thieves... Huchuquan's reaction is nothing. The Marquis of Linyi has the quick wit to change his strategy temporarily, which is enough to make His Majesty

Glad.

I just didn't expect that Fujun's baby could be so forbearing.

If we can form an alliance with Liu Bao this time, Fu Jun should be the first to take the lead... The Marquis of Linyi should be happy that another capable person in our Han Dynasty has appeared. After this matter is over, the Marquis of Linyi can take Fu Jun back,

I believe His Majesty will be very happy."

Liu Guang heard this and smiled bitterly in his heart.

He smiled bitterly that the decline of the Han Dynasty had reached such an extent.

It is undeniable that Fu Jun has grown a lot in the past few years, and he is completely the same as when he was in Xudu. But that's all... he may still be a good player if he does small things and engages in some unflattering conspiracies, but if

Speaking of pillars... If Fu Jun is a pillar, then Cao Cao's ministers and staff are definitely the pillars of heaven.

It's not on the same level at all...

But such a figure was considered a great figure to the Han Emperor.

Thinking of this, Liu Guang couldn't help but feel confused. For a moment, he even felt a little discouraged...

Because he felt that he could not see the future of the Han Dynasty!

"Marquis of Linyi, I came here this time to ask about Cao Peng's movements."

"Cao Peng?"

Liu Guang was startled, then thought for a while and said: "Cao Peng has not been doing much recently. It seems that his body has not recovered yet and he has been recovering from his injuries. Therefore, Tian Shaolai is mostly responsible for guarding the mission, while Cao Peng himself is reclusive."

When Leng Fei heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

"Remaining in seclusion?" He thought for a while, as if saying to himself: "That is indeed troublesome!"

"How can Leng Gong say this?"

"I've been keeping an eye on him, worried that Cao Peng's recovery might cause problems for the Marquis of Linyi.

The old slave has made up his mind to keep Cao Peng in the north of the Great Wall. But he lives in seclusion, so it is not easy to take action."

Liu Guang couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.

He knew that he seemed to have ignored Cao Peng's existence recently.

Now when Leng Fei mentioned it, Liu Guang felt the same way. The power in Cao Cao's hands was too great, and Cao Peng had already gained such a great reputation at a young age. When he truly grew up, he would definitely become a sharp steel knife in Cao Cao's hands.

At that time, wouldn't Cao Cao be even more powerful?

Leng Fei is right, Cao Peng must be kept in Saibei! He must not be allowed to grow and develop...

"Leng Gong, how should we act?"

Leng Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly, "If I knew what to do, why bother bothering Marquis Linyi?

Three years later, Cao Peng's arrival was unbelievable. Before the Linhe assassination, I had tried to think highly of this person, but it was unimaginable... There were many good men around him, so I came here this time and only brought two of them. If I can't

If he stays in Saibei, it will be more difficult to let him return to Xudu. But if you want to kill him, you must leave him alone."

Liu Guang was silent!

He understood the meaning of Leng Fei's words very clearly.

Cao Peng's skills have already given Leng Fei a headache.

In a one-on-one assassination, Leng Fei may still be sure...but if there are followers following him, especially those who are more tyrannical, Leng Fei may not be able to succeed. However, among the followers around Cao Peng, there are many powerful characters.

.

Xiahou Lan and Hande are not easy-going people, and they have the courage to be unstoppable by thousands of people.

Fortunately, Xia Houlan is not here now, leaving only Han De. But even so, Leng Fei still feels that it is quite difficult.

Cao Peng!

Liu Guang closed his eyes, and scenes flashed through his mind.

"Marquis Linyi, how about I exchange the knife in my hand for Xu Yi's black dragon?"

In Xudu Dog Fighting Hall, Cao Peng and Liu Guang met for the first time.

"Marquis of Linyi, please take care of yourself... It's not that I don't want to have a drink with you, but I do have something going on at home, so please forgive me."

"Marquis Linyi, I accept your gift!"

"..."

Looking back carefully, the contact between Liu Guang and Cao Peng was not too much.

And most of the time, it was Liu Guang who took the initiative to contact Cao Peng. But no matter what, Liu Guang did have a good impression of Cao Peng.

Above the river, Cao Peng looked pale and made a throat-cutting gesture towards Liu Guang!

Liu Guang suddenly opened his eyes, "Leng Gong, I will try my best to create opportunities for you in this matter... However, I must kill you with one strike."

Leng Fei nodded, revealing a murderous intention.

Cao Pengxing left the military tent and punched in the open space outside the tent. He felt particularly energetic.

He was about to go back to the tent to read when he suddenly heard a commotion and noise outside the small camp. Cao Peng couldn't help but be a little curious, so he led Wang Shuang and Han Dexing out of the small tent. He saw a schoolmaster in an open space outside the small camp.

The lieutenant was fighting with a Huns. The two of them knew at a glance that they were fighting real fire. Although the Huns were not tall, they held a large dragon-bird ring in their hands, which was extremely fierce. The dragon-bird ring weighed about thirty years.

He was very powerful and heavy, and his killing method was exquisite. But the Han military captain fought with an iron armour, and was killed by the Huns. His armor was crooked, and he was in a miserable state.

"what happened?"

"Go back to Captain Cao, the Huns are here to provoke!"

"Nonsense, I know... I mean, why are they provoking?"

"This..." an informed guard said softly: "What the captain doesn't know is that this Huns is a member of Liu Bao, the Xian King of Zuo. Yesterday, our people were drinking in the Huns' market, and we didn't want a few Huns to come up and provoke them.

, and also wounded our people. Captain Gou was also there at the time. In a rage, he led a fight with the Huns and killed two of them... Originally, this was not a big deal, and it was not something to think about the Huns.

Today, people came to the door to ask Captain Gou to die. It happened that Deputy Envoy Tian was invited to go out, and the Marquis of Linyi and Deputy Envoy Zhou were not there either, so Captain Gou..."

The soldier said half of his words, but Cao Peng basically understood the whole story.

He couldn't help but frown and looked attentively.
