Since April, the temperature in Lintao has risen sharply.

But Cao Ji was still wearing thick clothes, his face was pale and haggard, and his thin cheekbones were protruding, making him look like a skeleton. Cao Peng was also shocked when he saw Cao Ji. He knew that Cao Ji was sick, but he didn't

Thinking of being so seriously ill, Cao Peng couldn't imagine it. [bsp; The Cao Ji in his memory was a strong and strong man.

But now...

"Father!"

Cao Peng walked a few steps and came to the bedside.

Cao Ji was about to sit up when he saw Cao Peng coming. A smile appeared on his face, but it was a bit ugly.

"Afu, you're here."

There was an endless sense of exhaustion in his words.

Cao Peng couldn't help but feel sour when he heard this, and nodded vigorously.

He could more or less guess the reason why Cao Ji was like this. In fact, Cao Ji's condition was not very serious at first, but due to the war and the smoke everywhere, Cao Ji couldn't help but feel worried.

He is not a person who can govern a state.

When he first took up the post, he did it in a hurry. He thought that he would help his son defend the northwest that he had conquered single-handedly. In the beginning, it was indeed the case. Cao Peng left a strong team for Cao Ji, and Cao Ji didn't need to worry about it at all.

Although he would feel hard at times, Xu Shu and others could solve most of the problems. At the local level, Bu Zhi, Shi Tao, Pang Tong and others did not require him to worry too much.

However, as Cao Peng's confidants continued to be transferred away from Liangzhou, Cao Ji felt more and more pressure...

Especially when Bu Zhi left and Su took charge of Wu Wei.

Even if Su Ze had a relationship with Cao Peng, they were not very close. After all, Su Ze was not Cao Peng's confidant, so Cao Ji naturally wouldn't be too relieved. Zhao Qu was appointed the Protector of the Western Regions, and Deng Fan and Pan Zhang left Liang.

Zhou...a series of personnel changes made Cao Ji quite worried, but there was nothing he could do.

It was at this time that Ma Chao raised his troops and the Qiang and Di rebelled.

The psychological pressure Cao Ji endured was even more serious than his illness.

He had never fought in a war, let alone how to fight. If Shi Tao, Xu Shu, Meng Jian and Hao Zhao had not taken action to resist the enemy, Cao Ji would have been unable to support him. The situation in the northwest was getting worse day by day, which made Cao Ji worried, so he was physically

It also collapsed quickly.

Fortunately, everything is over!

Cao Peng came back, which also made Cao Ji feel relieved.

"My father just wants to take care of him with peace of mind. When he gets better, he will send his father back to the Central Plains.

My sister is about to give birth, and my mother is also looking forward to it at home.

Father, you must take care of yourself... Your Majesty has issued an edict to appoint your father as the chief agricultural officer, and he will take up the post in Xudu. Our house has also been expanded a lot, and the number of people has also increased a lot, all of which require my father to worry about.

Woolen cloth."

It's useless to talk to Cao Ji about how many stones of grain and how much the treasury will bring in!

He just thinks like a small farmer and likes to hear about topics like how much his family's property has increased, how much his house has expanded...

Sure enough, after Cao Peng finished speaking, Cao Ji became happy.

He lay down tiredly, took Cao Peng's hand, and said softly: "Now that Ah Fu is here, I can have a peaceful sleep."

"Well, the baby is right here."

Cao Ji slowly closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

It can be seen that he has really not had a good night's sleep for a long time... Since Ma Chao raised his army, he has been under tremendous pressure, how can he sit back and relax? Now that his son is here, he has a backbone in his heart. Feeling Cao Peng's presence

Beside him, Cao Ji was particularly relaxed, and he slept soundly this time.

Cao Peng waited for Cao Ji to fall asleep and covered him with a quilt.

He walked out of the room, waved to the doctor, and asked in a low voice: "How is my father's physical condition?"

"Cao Liangzhou's health is not serious. The main reason is that he is so frightened that he can't sleep at night and doesn't think about food or food.

Worrying all day long makes my health worse and worse.

However, Cao Liangzhou's physical condition is good, and he can regain his strength as long as he has a good life."

Cao Peng, feeling relieved, let out a sigh of relief.

In this case, I am relieved...

He pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Then please trouble me, Mr. Lao, so that my father can be well and nursed back to health...I will tell the others that no one is allowed to disturb you. Before autumn, he must be well cared for and I will send my father back to the Central Plains. I will

No matter what method you use, you can make my father strong and healthy and return to his original appearance."

Sending Cao Ji back at this time is not the best choice.

Not to mention that the mountains are high and the roads are long and bumpy... With Cao Ji's current condition, I would be crazy if he was sent back to Xudu. So, after much thought, Cao Peng decided to let Cao Ji rest for a while.

The doctor hesitated for a moment and said, "General, it's not just a villain who refuses.

In fact, it is not difficult to raise General Cao Liangzhou, but the current environment in Lintao is really not suitable for raising General Cao Liangzhou. In my opinion, it is best for Cao Liangzhou to leave Lintao and change to a quiet environment, which is more conducive to physical recovery."

Think about it, yes!

Lintao is too close to the front line, and daily battle reports are constant.

In such an environment, it is indeed not easy for Cao Ji to take good care of his body.

Cao Peng thought for a while and said, "In this case, I will inform the governor of Longxi and ask him to make preparations and send my father there to rest.

Without further ado, I will arrange it as soon as possible.

You should also prepare yourself and go to Didao with my father."

"Here!"

The doctor wouldn't have any objections and went down to prepare immediately.

When Cao Peng returned to the side hall, before he could sit down and take a breath, he heard a report from Wang Shuang: "Hao Zhao, the captain of Qin Ting, is leaving Xu Shu in Liangzhou. Kan Ze, who is engaged in Liangzhou, and others are asking for an audience outside the house.

"

"please!"

Cao Peng took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice.

After a while, Xu Shu, Hao Zhao and others came to the hall.

There are nearly a dozen people, all of whom are Cao Peng's cronies.

Seeing Xu Shu and others, Cao Peng couldn't help but smile. He raised his hand to signal everyone not to be polite and asked everyone to sit down.

"Should I come to apologize?"

"Yuan Zhi, what crime are you guilty of?"

"We are incompetent and tired of making you worry, which is why we are suffering from today's illness.

The concubine (Zhao) (Ze) has failed to take care of the master because he has failed to take good care of the master. Please punish the master."

More than ten people knelt in the hall at the same time, asking for forgiveness in unison.

I could only look at Deng Ai and others waiting on the side and felt envious.

This is how a man should be born!

Cao Peng laughed and stepped forward to help everyone up one by one.

To be honest, he was a little unhappy at first. You guys... I entrusted my father to you to take care of me, and you took care of me like this?

But after thinking about it again, Cao Peng felt relieved.

After all, Ma Chao is not someone who takes things for granted. It is no wonder that Xu Shu and others happened suddenly.

"Originally, Captain Wang also wanted to come over, but because he was unwell and unable to stay, he had to ask me to come and accuse him."

"The tiger head is also in Lintao?"

Cao Peng was shocked when he heard this.

He knew that Wang Mai was injured, but he didn't know that Wang Mai had arrived in Lintao.

This shows that Wang Mai's injury is probably not too serious. Otherwise, with Hu Tou's temperament, how could he easily leave Longqi City? In other words, is Zhao Yun guarding Longqi City now? Cao Peng couldn't help but feel a little confused.

With a bang, he quickly asked: "Tiger Head is also in Lintao? How is his injury? Is it serious?"

"Captain Wang returned to Lintao three days ago to recuperate from his injuries.

The injury has been brought under control, but the body is still a little weak... The fierce wind in the river is the worst for people's health. Captain Wang's condition is also caused by this. Fortunately, the boss has been able to call him back, and he is stabilized. "

Cao Peng frowned and nodded, indicating that he understood.

He waved and signaled Deng Ai to come over.

"Shizai, take out ten pieces of the old ginseng I brought from Xudu and send them to your Uncle Hutou immediately. You stay with him over there and tell your Uncle Hutou that I have finished my work here.

Go see him immediately."

Deng Ai and Wang Mai were no strangers, so they quickly agreed.
