Chapter 243 Going Home

It took nearly two years and cost countless dollars.

The mysterious Tiger and Leopard Cavalry finally appeared in people's sight. Although it has never been on the battlefield to verify its combat effectiveness, in terms of the solemn military appearance and the momentum of the two thousand cavalry, in terms of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there is probably no one that can compare with it.

The elite of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Equipped with a high bridge saddle and double stirrups, the tiger and leopard cavalry's combat effectiveness is superior to others from the beginning.

Cao Peng didn't quite understand why Cao Cao took out the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry at this time. But he was certain that there must be some reasons.

At this time, Cao Peng knew that it was time for him to withdraw.

Raise your hand and swing it back.

Hei Qi and Fei Qi retreated at the same time, while Xia Houen supervised the troops and horses, and surrounded the chariots and came forward.

"Ziyu, say goodbye to the old lady for me, let's take our leave first."

At this time, it was not Cao Peng's turn to steal the limelight. Xia Houen also knew this. Since the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry appeared, Cao Cao would definitely accompany him.

"Afu, I'll treat you to a drink later."

Cao Peng put his hands together, bowed slightly, and passed by the chariot.

"Let's go home."

He took a deep breath, glanced at the passing chariots and troops, and turned around with a smile to give instructions.

Fei Qi immediately turned his horse's head, and Black Qi all turned around. Although it had only been two days, this army of less than 600 people had already taken shape.

Of course, this includes the efforts of Hao Zhao and others, but more importantly, it is the quality of these soldiers, which is really great!

Cao Peng was about to take a detour and enter through the west gate of Xudu. But he didn't go far when he suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind, so he quickly reined in his horse.

Xia Houzhen rode a horse and chased after him, escorted by more than a dozen guards.

Cao Peng couldn't help but be a little surprised and puzzled. He waved his hand to signal the carriage and horses to continue moving. He immediately stood in the middle of the road and looked at Xia Houzhen with a smile.

"Captain Cao, my grandma asked me to come and thank you."

"Haha, this is my responsibility, why do I need to say thank you?"

Xia Houzhen was silent, not knowing what to say.

Cao Peng looked at him doubtfully. After a moment, Xia Houzhen said softly: "Captain Cao, I'm going back then."

"Um!"

Xia Houzhen turned his horse's head, his thin figure carrying a hint of coldness.

"Sure lady!"

Cao Peng called Xia Houzhen, urged his horse forward, and blocked Xia Houzhen's way.

"Captain Cao, is there anything else?"

"Well... there are some things I know I shouldn't say. But along the way, I feel that I should still say them... Miss Zhen, be happy!"

"ah?"

"I know that you have a lot of pain in your heart. But in life, there will always be dissatisfaction of one kind or another... If you feel unhappy, just find someone to talk to. If you can't find anyone, you can talk to Yueying or me.

Sister, they all like you very much."

"Then can I find you?"

Xiahou Zhen asked in a strange way.

As soon as the words came out, his cheeks suddenly turned red.

Her head almost dropped to her chest, and she quickly whispered: "If you're busy, forget it!"

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "As long as I am in Xudu, you can come to me at any time... If you have any dissatisfaction in your heart, just say it. After you say it, you will be much happier. Miss Zhen, please be open-minded about everything.

, is it possible to stay this low all your life?"

"Um!"

Xia Houzhen's voice was like a mosquito's, and his fair and sexy neck was flushed with pink.

"You can call me Ah Zhen."

"ah?"

Xia Houzhen blushed, raised his head and said, "When my mother-in-law was alive, she always called me Ah Zhen."

Cao Peng couldn't help but laugh.

He nodded, suddenly urged his horse forward, stretched out his hand and gently scratched Xia Houzhen's straight nose, "My name is Ah Fu, don't call me 'Brother Rabbit' anymore."

After saying that, Cao Peng laughed loudly and rode away.

The moment Cao Peng's finger passed over Xia Houzhen's nose, Xia Houzhen was stunned!

There was a touch of shame and anger in his heart, but there was still a bit of joy. If according to the etiquette of this era, Cao Peng's actions just now undoubtedly seemed a bit frivolous. But to Xia Houzhen, that slightly frivolous action made

She felt very warm in her heart.

"Brother Rabbit!"

Xia Houzhen suddenly squeezed out four words from his mouth.

Immediately, she smiled...

Today's Cao Mansion does not refer to Cao Cao's "Cao", but refers to Cao Peng's home. It is no longer what it used to be.

I remember that they once lived in Dianwei's Wubao, and then bought a house from Cao Hong. Now, Cao Ji can be regarded as an official better than Qianshi. In addition to the original house, plus the house rewarded by Cao Cao, it is at least as good as Qianshi.

A year and a half ago, it was more than half as big.

When Cao Peng came to the door of his house, he even couldn't recognize him.

The horizontal plaque on the door, with the word "Zhuye" written on it, also represents Cao Ji's current identity. Deng Juye and his wife had already received the news, and accompanied Zhang's family, waiting outside the door.

As soon as she saw Cao Peng, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but burst into tears, ran over and hugged Cao Peng.

"My son, you have suffered a lot in the past two years..."

Suffer?

Cao Peng didn’t think so!

However, Cao Peng has grown much taller and stronger than when he left Xudu.

It makes people feel that he has become more powerful than before! And his appearance has also undergone some changes. When he was a child, Cao Peng had a face with oval seeds, which made people feel very delicate. But now, his cheekbones are slightly protruding, which makes him look very delicate.

The contours of the cheeks are no longer so soft.

If we use the facial features of later generations, the shape is somewhere between the Chinese character face and the Chinese character face.

This also makes Cao Peng look a little more masculine. In addition, his height has reached about 170cm, and his figure has become burly and strong.

Zhang's emotional expression made Cao Peng feel more or less at a loss.

For Mrs. Zhang, he was still stuck in the original image of a simple woman with a sarong skirt and wooden hairpin. He did not hesitate to sell jade pendants and ask for talisman water for her. But the woman in front of him was dressed in silk and satin, with a Japanese-style ponytail.

There is a gold hairpin on the head, which is full of jewels.

However, when Mrs. Zhang hugged him, the string in Cao Peng's heart was still touched.

"Mom, I'm back!"

"Well, it'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

"Mom, do you still remember Yueying?"

Cao Peng spoke and waved to Huang Yueying to come forward.

With a hint of shyness, Huang Yueying stepped forward and paid her respects to Mrs. Zhang.

"you are not……"

Zhang has a good memory and recognized Huang Yueying at a glance.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Cao Nan walking up to her with Deng Ai in her arms. After whispering softly in her ear, Mrs. Zhang suddenly beamed.

"Yueying, I haven't seen you in the past two years, and you've become even more handsome."

For a moment, he threw Cao Peng aside, took Huang Yueying's hand, and walked towards the mansion.

Cao Peng, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Uncle Juye, aunt of the Hong family, we have been separated for many years. How are you doing?"

Cao Peng saluted Deng Juye and Madam Hong. The couple were happy and beaming, feeling quite proud.

I think back then, their son Deng Fan was just an idle gangster from Jiyang. Now, according to Wang Meng, Deng Fan is already the military commander of Chen County.

How old is Bing Cao Shi?

Deng Juye and his wife were not sure either... but Ju Wangmeng explained that Huang She was just a soldier. I think back then, even the magistrate of Jiyang County was respectful to Huang She when he saw him. Then Deng Fan's soldier, wasn't he?

Bigger than the county magistrate? How could the couple not be happy!
