Cao Zhen didn't say anything. He filled a glass of wine for Cao Peng, and then filled a glass for himself. Without saying a word, he drank it all. He wiped the wine stain on his short beard under his chin, took a long breath, and said to Cao Peng: "

That Gao Shun is just a piece of wood. I stayed with him for two days, but I was almost suffocated to death. When I asked him a question, I could answer him once out of ten. I invited him to a drink, but he was a teetotaler.

It’s so boring, it’s so boring…”

Cao Peng couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

He could roughly guess Cao Zhen's embarrassed appearance.

"Brother, what you said is wrong. I think General Gao is quite friendly."

"That's for you!"

Cao Zhen kept complaining and smiled bitterly: "Believe it or not, from the time I picked him up until he was just outside the city, it was the first time I saw him smile. Usually when I am with him, he always has a straight face, as if

As if someone owed him money, that is, to you, he smiled today. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that this guy wouldn't laugh at all. I invited him to watch songs and dances, but he didn't watch; I invited him to drink, but he didn't eat.

When I stayed overnight, I would hide in my residence, either reading or taking a rest early... Phew, it was really boring to the extreme."

"But this man made my uncle suffer a lot back then."

Cao Peng took a sip of wine and said, "General Gao has such a temper. When he was under Lu Bu's command, his talent and ability were not inferior to Wen Yuan's. Especially when he was in battle, he was said to have never been defeated. This is even true.

Zhang Wenyuan admired me very much and often praised me.

He doesn't have any hobbies. His greatest pleasure is training soldiers and horses.

Perhaps because of this, he didn't know how to socialize with others, let alone flatter him. Therefore, at that time, Lu Bu valued him but also rejected him, and his position was very embarrassing. If he hadn't gone overseas, I'm afraid he wouldn't have ended up well. It's a pity that he was so

A master of military strategy."

"Ah Fu, is this Gao Shun really that powerful?"

"If you don't believe it, wait until you return to Xudu and ask others.

That guy is a natural soldier... If there is no war, I don't think he can survive. If he stays in the Central Plains, he will lose his life sooner or later."

When Cao Zhen heard this, he was immediately speechless.

Indeed, the situation overseas and in China are very different.

Overseas, the country is barbaric and wars continue.

In the Central Plains, wars are always accompanied by various conspiracies.

Gao Shun was a straight man, so it would have been difficult for him to survive the strife. If it had been the early Western Han Dynasty, his fate might not have been better than that of Peng Yueyingbu and others.

Cao Zhen sighed and did not continue talking.

The two of them were drinking wine and chatting in the house. Unknowingly, Haishi had arrived.

"Brother, get some rest early. We have to go on a journey early tomorrow morning."

Cao Zhen agreed, drank the wine in the glass, and said goodbye to Cao Peng. He lived in a military camp outside the city... Although the city had already prepared a residence for him, Cao Peng could also make room for him here.

Cao Zhen was used to it and preferred to rest in the military camp.

In his own words: "If I couldn't hear the sound of fighting, I might not be able to sleep."

This is also a master who has become accustomed to military camp life!

Cao Peng sent Cao Zhen away and found someone to clean up the mess of cups and dishes in the house.

He returned to the bedroom and was just about to change his clothes and take a rest when he heard someone knocking gently on the door, "Master, Master?"

Cao Peng opened the door and leaned half of his body out.

But under the long corridor outside the door, a postman saluted him respectfully, "Young master, the Lu family is the high envoy of the Han Dynasty, please come and have a talk."

Gao Shun is looking for me?

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Just wait."

He came to the door and straightened his clothes in front of the tall bronze mirror.

But there were some doubts in my heart: It's so late, what's the matter with Gao Shun looking for me?

Could it be that he has other things that he hopes to entrust to Sikong through me? But even so, we can talk about it tomorrow.

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a clue.

Outside the door, the postman was still waiting. Cao Peng opened the door and stepped down the porch.

"Lead the way."

"Here!"

The postman agreed and led Cao Peng out of the residence.

To be precise, Cao Peng's residence was part of the post house. However, the post house did not have enough manpower, so it was basically left in charge of the mission.

After turning out and walking along a quiet path, we soon arrived at the residence of Lu's Han Dynasty Mission.

This is a large courtyard with two entrances, the inner and the outer.

There were servants from the mission accompanying him outside, while Gao Shun lived in the back house. Cao Peng, led by the postman, came to the moon gate of the back house.

A Lu family member personally followed and blocked the way.

"It's Ambassador Gao who invites Mr. Cao to come..."

The postman quickly explained to avoid any misunderstanding.

The attendant smiled and said in Mandarin with a faint Xiapi accent: "I know that I am here just on the orders of Gao Sima, waiting for the young master to come. You can go back, there is nothing to do here without you...

Mr. Cao, please come with me, Sima Gao has been waiting for you for a long time."

"General Gao called me, what's the matter?"

The person smiled and said: "Well, I don't know about the humble position...

Sir, walk along the corridor and turn the corner and you'll be there."

"Won't you lead me there?"

"Haha, the young master was kind to us in the past. He is not an outsider, so just go. He has to stay here for his humble duty."

Cao Peng was confused, glanced at the retinue, nodded, and walked away.
