Young Master, I admit that you have great talent, but why do you recruit my brother? If I hadn’t made a bet with you, I might not have made a bet with you... As for my brother, you don’t have to think about it. Moreover, Zilong is stubborn.

When I was still Baima Yicong, he told me in private that if he had not followed Gongsun Zan, he would have been willing to follow Duke Xuande. Oh, you know Duke Xuande, he is Liu Yuzhou. I think he was with Tian Kai

He went to war with Duke Xuande, so he was heartbroken for a long time. But even so, he still stayed under Gongsun Zan's tent? Why? He was stubborn. When I asked him to go with me, he refused to agree.

Even if Gongsun Zan dies, he will not follow you..."

Zhao Yun has hooked up with Liu Bei?

This was mentioned in the novel, but after his rebirth, Cao Peng found that many things were not consistent with history, so he still felt a bit lucky.

did not expect……

If Zhao Yun has already hooked up with Liu Bei, it will not be that easy to hook up with Zhao Yun again.

Cao Peng thought of this and scratched his head.

"Can't I even think about it?"

"Hehehe, of course, of course..."

Xia Houlan laughed and turned over.

But looking at his trembling body, you can tell that this guy must be laughing in his heart at this moment.

What’s so good about Liu Xuande!

Cao Peng couldn't help but curse: Until now, he didn't even have a place to stay. And for a long time, he could only live under someone else's roof.

But think about it, why am I not living under someone else’s roof?

If you want to recruit talents these days, strength and ability are certainly one aspect, but reputation is very important.

No matter how bad Liu Xuande was, he still had Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under his command; and as for himself... Cao Peng started to feel a little uncomfortable.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

The door sounded softly.

Cao Peng asked angrily: "Who?"

"Youxue, have you ever rested?"

The voice sounded like it was Chen Qun...Cao Peng turned over and sat up, put on his clothes and walked to the door, opening it.

Chen Qun stood at the door and saw that Cao Peng's face was not very good. He couldn't help but wonder: "Youxue, you are not feeling well? Why is his face so ugly?"

"It's okay, I just thought of something, so I'm not very happy." Cao Peng said, shook his head vigorously, and let out a long breath, "Brother is looking for me so late? Is there something wrong?"

"Uh... if it's convenient for you, we can talk in the courtyard."

"All right."

Cao Peng nodded, walked out of the side room, and closed the door.

As the door leaf hit, there was a soft creaking sound, and Xia Houlan turned over and sat up.

He sat on the couch, scratched his head, and looked at Cao Peng's sleeping couch, with a strange look on his face.

Were the words I just said a little too much?

Such an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Although Cao Peng was young, he did have real talent and learning... Moreover, when Cao Peng treated Xiahoulan, he never regarded him as his servant general, but more often as his right-hand man. In the army, Xiahoulan

Although he became a general, he was deeply suppressed.

During the War of Wan, he fled to Wancheng alone without anyone following him, which is enough to explain the problem.

And beside Cao Peng, even though he was known as a general, Xia Houlan could feel that he was much happier than when he was in the army.

Following Cao Peng along the way, Xia Houlan indeed saw Cao Peng's efforts.

Whether it was helping his family or taking care of his brothers, Cao Peng had absolutely nothing to say to his own people, and even helped Xia Houlan break through the bottleneck that he had not broken through for many years.

Listening carefully, Chen Qun and Cao Peng were talking very softly in the courtyard, and it was hard to make out what they were saying.

Xia Houlan patted his forehead gently: Xiahou, Xiahou, what's wrong with you? The young master treats you badly, how can you talk like that?

In my heart, I felt some regret.

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Xia Houlan quickly turned over and fell on the couch, closing her eyes and pretending to sleep.

Cao Peng opened the door and walked into the room.

Seeing that Xia Houlan had already fallen asleep, he stepped forward and covered him with a blanket, turned around and blew out the candles, and lay down on the couch as well.

Don't underestimate this simple action, but it made Xia Houlan feel very warm in her heart...

"Master!"

"Hmm? Ziyou, are you still awake?"

"How about I write you a letter and ask?"

"What!"

"Contact Zilong and see if he is willing to work for you."

In the darkness, there was silence.

After a long time, I heard Cao Peng say quietly: "Ziyou, you are right, even if Zilong comes over, I'm afraid I won't be able to give him a place to display his talents.

If I get it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, it's my fate! Don't force anything, just let it happen... If Zilong can achieve great success in the future, wouldn't it delay his future. It's better that you and I don't be too selfish. Forget it,

Don't talk about this, we will set off as soon as daybreak, go to sleep."

if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate!

Xia Houlan didn't speak again, but there was a storm in her heart.

Lord, how many people in this world are willing to sincerely consider the tribe? Although Cao Peng is young, his magnanimity and mind put everyone in the world to shame.

No, no matter whether it works or not, I will give it a try.

Xia Houlan made up his mind and felt much at peace in his heart.

He closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep... In his dream, Xia Houlan seemed to have dreamed back to Yunwu Mountain, returning to that time when happiness and pain were intertwined.

In fact, if Zilong is willing to come over, it would be a good choice!

At dawn, Cao Peng wore a leather armor, a gray turban on the outside, and a silk scarf on his head, looking like a little book boy.

Xia Houlan, on the other hand, dressed up as a coachman, holstered his gun with a black cloth and placed it on the horse.

He and Cao Peng drove a carriage and waited outside the gate of Chen's mansion. Zhao Yebai was entrusted by Cao Peng to Chen Qun and asked him to take him back to Dongling Pavilion.

Cao Peng is now a book boy, riding a horse worth a thousand gold, Zhao Yebai. Isn't that looking for trouble?

Xun Yan was very satisfied with Cao Peng's decision.

To be honest, he didn't think about it so much. If Cao Peng hadn't mentioned it, he would have ignored it.

Wen Ruoyan said that Cao Youxue was very attentive, and it was indeed true. Maybe it would be a good choice to let him go with us this time!

Xun Yan boarded the carriage.

Xia Houlan drove the car, and Cao Peng sat in the passenger seat.

The pair of rivers were cut off, wrapped in a deerskin sheath, and inserted diagonally into the carriage frame.

If you don't look carefully, it's not easy to see that there are a pair of precious knives in the leather sheath.

"grown ups……"

As soon as Cao Peng opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Xun Yan.

"Youxue, from now on, you are my book boy. Remember, I am going to Jiangdong to visit friends. Please don't call me sir. You should call me sir."

"Sir, are you ready to go?"

Xun Yan said: "Let's go to the posthouse outside the city to meet Wang Xiaowei first, and then cross the river with the team."

"Here!"

Cao Peng agreed and looked at Xia Houlan.

Xia Houlan nodded, flicked the long whip in his hand, and shouted: "Drive!"
