Three Kingdoms: Bandit Cao, let go of that woman!

Chapter 482 Frontier Dragon Shadow
After leaving Cao Peng's residence.

In the palace, Cao Hong couldn't understand why Cao Peng insisted on tax reform.

Although he didn't directly refute Cao Peng just now, the doubts in his heart still can't be resolved.

"Your Majesty, since you have doubts in your heart, you might as well call Master Xun to come over and ask..."

The eunuch in charge of Cao Hong's diet and daily life said so.

Even he knew that if he was in doubt, he should ask Mr. Xun You.

Cao Hong smiled wryly, he walked too close to Xun You, it would be bad if Cao Peng became suspicious.

Although Xun You is the chief auxiliary minister, all his powers rest with Cao Peng.

"Forget it, one more thing is worse than one less thing, the teacher will never harm me."

Cao Hong could only say with a wry smile.

……

After Deng Ai was reprimanded by Cao Peng, his mood became worse and worse, and his face became more and more gloomy.

It was not what he wanted to leave his homeland and go to another country.

But if he was allowed to leave, he would never have a bright future. In the face of the family and personal choices, he resolutely chose to bear all this by himself.

"How about it, brother, His Royal Highness King Chuan personally interviewed you, do you want you to be the number one scholar in the palace examination?"

They are also descendants of the declining clan, and they all hope that their peers can stand out.

It's a pity that Deng Ai failed their expectations and sighed secretly.

"His Royal Highness asked me to pack my bags and go north, but I didn't work at the state border."

Deng Ai had just finished speaking when someone sneered.

"Oh, I've said it long ago, how can such a good-for-nothing like you still have a chance to turn around, you must be self-aware."

After hearing such irritating words, Deng Ai raised his head.

The person who spoke was the Xu family, a noble family in central Beijing.

Once in this family, there was Xu Huang, a famous general under Cao Cao's command.

After Sima Yi came to power, the Xu family was also suppressed. It was not until Cao Peng entered the city that the situation became slightly better.

But when the scar healed, he forgot the pain, and thought he was an old-fashioned nobleman, which gave Xu confidence.

Deng Ai became a little angry, and he was born to want to conflict with the other party.

The people on the side persuaded: "Forget it, this guy has made a big splash in the hall today. If there is no accident, he should be selected as the second place."

The Xu family disciple also heard this, and became even more domineering, looking at Deng Ai coldly.

In order to avoid a bigger conflict, Deng Ai planned to stay silent to resolve the matter, but the other party was relentless. Just when the conflict between the two parties was about to break out, there was a shout from outside the tent.

"You'd better calm down for me, otherwise, all of you will be disqualified from being officials!"

This is a place specially provided for the princes after taking the imperial examination to rest.

Therefore, under the control of the imperial court, the people patrolling outside the gate are the tiger guards.

Deng Ai couldn't stay in the house any longer, so he went out.

As soon as he walked out of the house, several tiger guards came towards him.

"You are Deng Ai, my master wants to meet you!"

Deng Ai recognized these tiger guards, and he knew that the tiger guards could be called masters, so the only emperor in the world was the emperor.

"Please, my lords, please lead the way..."

But Ai couldn't even suppress his excitement, he wondered if his life was about to usher in a peak.

The Tiger Guards took him to a room, where Cao Hong, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, had been waiting for him for a long time.

Seeing this boy who was only 12 years old, Deng Ai knelt down excitedly.

"See Your Majesty!"

Cao Hong waved his hand to signal him to get up and speak.

"I know the grievance in your heart. Don't worry, you have made great achievements at the border. There is very little hope of returning to the capital."

Cao Hong can't promise anything to Deng Ai, because he can't be the master of his own country, but he needs to get in touch with some potential stocks in advance.

Even so, Deng Ai, who had never seen a real dragon, was already crying bitterly, and almost knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Cao Hong did a great job of saving face, he didn't come empty-handed this time, he also brought a horse.

"I know you have great ambitions in your chest, and it's not a bad idea to worship generals and become marquises in the future,"

"Your Majesty loves you, even if you are heartbroken, you will not be able to repay him!"

After Deng Ai bowed again, he bid farewell to Cao Hong.

Riding on the steed, he left the city and headed north.

……

"drive!"

Six days later, Deng Ai had already left the Sili area, and was very close to where Zhao Yun was stationed.

However, the closer he got to here, he had a bad idea, and he encountered the patrolling army of the Huns, who surrounded him in an instant.

Deng Ai pulled out his waistband, wanting to fight to the death with this group of Huns, even though there were many opponents, he wanted to draw his sword.

But at this moment, a shout came from afar.

"Hun dog, don't dare to violate the border!"

Before anyone arrives, the sound arrives first.

Zhao Yun was dressed in silver armor, with a silver spear in his hand, followed by elite iron cavalry.

The spears swept across, and in less than a round, these Huns were beheaded to the ground by Zhao Yun.

After Zhao Yun killed the Huns, he came to Deng Ai and looked at him.

"Where did you come from to run around here alone? Could it be that you don't want your life?"

"Your Excellency, could it be General Zhao Yun?"

Deng Ai looked at this silver-armored general who was running like thunder with emotion, his words were even trembling.

Deng Ai already had the strength of a second-rate military general. Looking at Zhao Yun in front of him, he already had an idea in his heart.

Zhao Yun is by no means simple, at least his strength has far surpassed that of first-class military generals.

Love took out a letter and handed it to Zhao Yun. This is his letter of appointment, which was given to him by Cao Peng.

After Zhao Yun looked at Deng Ai carefully, he said with a smile:
"You, it's interesting!"

"Since you've come to this borderland, stay here and be a captain under my tent!
Don't think that His Highness King Chuan looked down on you and sent you here. He is giving you a chance. Only in this frontier battlefield, you have a great chance of making contributions! "

Deng Ai was shocked when he heard this.

Could it be that he misunderstood Cao Peng?Could it be that Cao Peng really wanted to give him a chance, but he didn't understand King Chuan's intentions.

"Today, if the general doesn't remind me, I almost mistake myself!" Deng Ai hastily bowed his hands and saluted.

It's not that he doesn't know good from bad, he can tell right from wrong.

But he followed Zhao Yun back to the tent, when a captain came to report:
"General, Zhang Yi said that they encountered some problems and wanted to invite the general to go..."

Zhao Yun frowned, and then smiled.

"Okay, since he sincerely invites me, I'll go meet him for a while, Deng Ai, come with me!"

Deng Ai naturally had nothing to say, so he hurriedly responded and followed Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun came out and ordered 1000 soldiers and horses, then took Deng Ai and set off.

Even if someone dissuades him, Zhao Yun should not take the risk himself, but Zhao Yun is no match for a mob.
