I came to Wubao early every morning, first to watch Cao Ji making swords, and then to drag Cao Peng into the formation.

In the beginning, Noriman was basically trying to break through a hard bridge and a hard horse. He often couldn't hold on for long before his nose was bruised and his face was swollen...

However, as Noriman became familiar with the sand formation and secretly observed how Cao Peng and others broke through the formation, he figured out some tricks.

After three days of fighting, Noriman was able to hold on for as long as a cup of tea.

After all, he had the foundation of family education and inheritance, and he also took it seriously. The speed of entering the formation quickly caught up with Wang Mai and Deng Fan. Although he was not up to Cao Peng's level of effortlessness, he was indeed

It was quite an improvement. His kung fu was not bad to begin with. After practicing with sandbags for a while, his body shape and footwork were much more flexible than before. As soon as this effect came out, Norimitsu naturally became more and more interested.

At the same time, Cao Ji's name became more and more famous in Xudu City.

Under the secret operation of Cao Peng, the mastermind behind the scenes, many versions about Cao Ji have been circulated on the market. Some say that he is a great son of the Mohist family, some say that he is a master craftsman... There are even rumors that he is a great master of the Mohist family.

Cao Ji learned the magic of immortals and acquired the secrets of immortals, so making swords was easy. Various rumors became more and more intense, and eventually they became uncontrollable and spread from Xudu to the outside world.

Even Cao Cao began to pay attention to this matter.

However, he did not ask Dian Wei, he just wanted to see what the final outcome of this matter would be...

Just like that, before we knew it, the time had entered midsummer.

As spring turns to summer, the weather gradually becomes hotter. The scorching sun makes people feel uncomfortable all over. Even sitting in the shade makes people feel like they are in a furnace.

In May of the second year of Jian'an, Liu Biao sent his general Deng Ji to attack Langling.

Xun Ji, the commander of Langling, hurriedly responded to the battle, was ambushed by Deng Ji, and died at the foot of Mount Que.

When the news came to Xudu, Cao Cao was extremely angry. He originally planned to conquer Lu Bu, but because of this incident, he had to change his plan.

In the middle of May, Cao Cao ordered Man Chong, the governor of Runan County, to garrison troops in Queshan.

Then he personally supervised the army, with Man Chong as the vanguard, forcibly entered Nanyang County, and captured Fuyang in ten days. After Deng Ji's victory in Langling, he was somewhat complacent. But soon after, he was defeated by Man Chong and returned in embarrassment.

, and finally retreated to Huyang County, guarding against death...

Cao Cao broke into Nanyang, which was like declaring war with Liu Biao!

Liu Biao was furious, but because Cao Cao sent troops this time with a strong force, he had to be cautious...

"Afu!"

Early in the morning, Dianman came to Wubao and met Cao Peng.

After more than a month of contact, Dianman became more affectionate towards Cao Peng. At first, he looked down on Cao Peng, thinking that Cao Peng was not as powerful as his father Dianwei said. But as time went by

, he had been in contact with Cao Peng for a long time, and gradually changed his attitude. Even though Cao Peng was younger and thinner than him, he knew a lot more than Dianman.

In addition, Deng Ji and Guo Jia visited several times, which made Dian Wei value this family even more.

Dianman began to admire Cao Peng a little bit...

Cao Peng had just finished his morning exercise and was preparing to help in the iron furnace.

"Aman, what's the matter?"

"Can you help me?"

Dianman no longer minded Cao Peng calling him by his nickname, and looked at him pleadingly.

Cao Pengqi said: "Help you? What's wrong with you?"

"Alas...it's still my dad!" Dianman sighed, "You also know that this time when the lord sent troops to Nanyang, he did not take my dad with him, but chose Xu Chu. My dad has not been very happy these past two days, always saying that the lord does not trust him

I didn't even take him with me when we went to war. He was very drunk at home... I saw that he was depressed, but I didn't know how to persuade him. You are smarter than me, can you help me think of a way?"

When Cao Peng heard this, he was suddenly enlightened!

This time when Cao Cao went to Huyang County, he did not take Dian Wei with him, but chose Xu Chu.

So Dian Wei felt a little awkward. Once his bullish temper came up, he got into the horns and was a little unable to turn around.

Cao Peng thought for a while, then nodded and agreed: "I also plan to go to the city. I haven't seen my uncle for a while, so I can just visit him."

"Go together, go together!"

When Wang Mai heard that Cao Peng was going out, he immediately became interested.

"Go away...go back and practice!" Cao Peng said angrily: "If you can't hold on to a stick of incense in the sand formation, don't even think about walking out."

"ah?"

Wang Mai suddenly grimaced.

"Afu, I haven't been out for almost forty days, please let me go out."

"Don't even think about it!" Cao Peng said and shouted to Xiahou Lan: "Xiahou, keep an eye on him. If you dare to sneak out, be careful I will take care of you!"

Wang Mai made a sad face and had no choice but to give up.

Cao Peng changed into a white gown and walked out of Wubao with Dianman.

The two of them got on their horses and headed straight for Xudu. In a short time, they arrived outside the city of Xudu...

Dianman was also considered a celebrity in Xudu, so the doorman did not stop him. The two soon arrived at the door of Huben Mansion, and saw Deng Ji, dressed in a green shirt, walking out of the door.

"Brother-in-law, do you want to go out?"

Deng Ji smiled and said, "Afu, why are you here? I made an appointment with a friend and was about to go out."

"Is Uncle Dian at home?"

Deng Ji rubbed his nose and said, "I'm practicing martial arts in the school field. Things are going well today. I didn't drink when I got up early in the morning... You came just in time, go see him."

Cao Peng didn't ask Deng Ji where he was going, he just cupped his hands and walked into the house with Dianman.

Different from the deserted situation of Huben Mansion more than a month ago, there is a bit more life in this mansion now, with a lot more servants and maids.

Dianman took Cao Peng all the way to the school grounds.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the school ground, I heard the strong wind roaring in the school ground, and the sound of tiger roaring came from time to time.

Dian Wei was shirtless, revealing his dark sinews, which looked like steel poured into iron. A pair of double iron halberds flew up and down in his hands, and he drew his bow left and right.

Cao Peng and Dianman stood at the gate of the school ground and did not go inside.

For people like Dian Wei, it is safer to stay away when practicing martial arts.

Dian Wei's double iron halberds are indeed beautiful. After years of fighting, his moves contain a strong murderous aura, making people afraid to approach him.

Even Dian Man, who was used to seeing Dian Wei practicing martial arts, was turned blue by the murderous look on his face.

On the contrary, Cao Peng watched it with gusto and seemed completely unaffected by the murderous aura. Seeing this, Noriman admired him even more!

"good!"

Dian Wei put away his halberd and stood up. Cao Peng immediately applauded.

"Afu, why are you here?"

Cao Peng said with a smile: "I haven't seen my uncle for a long time, and I miss him in my heart. I just have to go to the city today to do business, so I came here to visit."

"Hahaha, you are such a good talker." Dian Wei smiled heartily, but when he saw Dian Man's blue face, he immediately became gloomy again.

Dianman's martial arts skills are indeed not bad. He has reached the peak of Yi Gu and may break through the bottleneck at any time.

But after all, it is grown in a greenhouse, and it cannot compare to Dian Wei's days when he chased tigers across streams and drifted in all directions. He has never been on the battlefield and has never experienced battlefield fighting. No matter how good his martial arts are, it is of no use.

"Aman, how come it's been so long and I still look like I haven't made any progress?"

Noriman lowered his head and said nothing.

He was always a little afraid of Dian Wei...

Cao Peng said with a smile: "Uncle, don't blame Brother Aman. He has made great progress now. He can last as long as a stick of incense in the sand formation. He just needs less experience."

"snort!"

Dian Wei's expression softened, "Afu, what should I buy when I go to town?"

"Haha, buy some herbs."

"Herbal medicine? Could it be that you are sick?"

Cao Peng shook his head quickly, "It's not that I'm sick, but that I'm preparing for practice...Uncle, I heard from Brother Aman that you've been drinking every day recently. Could it be that you're in a bad mood?"

Dian Wei was startled, then glared at Dian Man fiercely.

"Uncle, don't blame Brother Aman, he cares about you... If it were someone else, do you think he would care about you?"

These words made Dian Wei feel warm in his heart, and his eyes immediately softened a lot when he looked at Dian Man.

He wiped the sweat off his body, sat down in a small pavilion in the school grounds, and sighed softly.

"Ah Fu, please comment. Ever since I followed my lord, I have conquered Xuzhou, attacked Puyang, and fought nearly a hundred battles, big and small. My lord has always taken me with him. But this time, he only brought Xu Chu with him. I just can't understand.

Why don't you take me and that stupid tiger?"

Cao Peng also sat down in the pavilion, thought about it, and suddenly smiled.

"Uncle, what is your current official position?"

Dian Wei glanced at Cao Peng in astonishment and said, "You kid, you are asking questions knowingly. You are a brave and powerful general."
