[Three Kingdoms] After offending Wei Guoquan, I went to the peak of my life

Cao Pi looked at the "boy" carefully, and found that he was about the same height as himself, and his delicate face was still somewhat childish. "He" was holding a short bow, twirling a feather with a blue mark.Yubai's knuckles were slender and elegant, as if what he was holding was not an arrow that sealed his throat with blood, but an elegant and clean plum blossom.

Cao Pi withdrew his gaze for a moment, and bowed to the opposite side: "Thank you Guo Yishi."

Guo Xuan was called a "righteous man" for the first time, and he felt a little strange.

She said to Cao Pi: "The water is warm and humid, and there are often insects and snakes. You need to be careful when you stop by the water."

Just as Cao Pi was about to answer, he suddenly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps gradually approaching.

"Second son!"

"Second Young Master, are you alright?"

Cao Pi bowed again to express his apology, and then turned to the guards who came: "It's nothing. You two clean up the two dead snakes, find a wine bag and take them back."

Li Jin and the two guards standing opposite thought that Cao Pi was trying to vent his anger by using the two snakes as medicinal wine, secretly thinking that although Cao Pi was old and prudent, he was still a child at heart.Only Guo Xuan gave Cao Pi a thoughtful look, because Cao Pi's move made him feel more concerned.

After a while, Zheng Ping and others rushed over.They heard the shouts of the guards from a distance, and knew that something had happened to Cao Pi. When they rushed to the scene, the guards following Cao Pi happened to pick up two snakes and were about to stuff them into the empty wine bag.

Guo Xuan's eyes lit up when he saw Zheng Ping, and Zheng Ping also saw Guo Xuan and Li Jin on the opposite side at a glance, but he didn't go over immediately, but walked up to Cao Pi and asked with his eyes.

Cao Pi really had something to say to him.He whispered about his guess, and finally said: "Because I thought it was too coincidental, I asked the guards to take the snake back and show it to the doctor to see if there is any abnormality."

Zheng Ping said: "You have small scratches on your body, and blood has been seen in many places. Snakes like fishy smell, maybe they smelled blood, so they attacked you one after another."

After a pause, he lowered his voice, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Of course, your guess just now is not impossible. None of the horses accompanying the guards showed any abnormalities, and the horses of you, me, and Guo Jia were all fine. There are signs of madness. Maybe it was an accident that you were attacked by a snake, but the madness of the car... there is no chance of a coincidence."

Zheng Ping has checked the horse just now, although the sense of smell of this body is not as sensitive as in his previous life, but according to the close-up and careful identification, he still found a little herbal smell left in the horse's mouth.

But Cao Pi did not let him smell something wrong.Although it may be because the smell is so weak that he can't detect it with his current sense of smell, it is more likely that the attack by the snake was simply caused by the smell of blood on his body, and the real killer move was hidden on the horse.

After Zheng Ping and Cao Pi finished talking, Li Jin and Li Jin on the opposite side crossed the stream on the uneven rocks.

Cao Pi asked Li Jin: "Li Yishi, where is your horse now? Is there something unusual?"

A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Li Jin's face: "To tell you the truth, the horse I was sitting on suddenly went crazy, and I couldn't pull it no matter what... Later I saw that the horse kept running, and if it ran, it would leave Xu County. I pressed the neck of the horse, trying to temporarily block its blood and make it stop. Who knew that I just pressed it lightly, and the horse suddenly fell down and died, almost killing me. broken."

Cao Pi's complexion got worse. After hearing Li Jin's words, Zheng Ping said to him: "When the blood is boiling, it is the time when the torrent is rushing. You cut off the blood, although it is only for a moment, so the boiling blood has nowhere to vent. It will naturally inflate and die."

Li Jin didn't understand medicine and mechanics, and when he heard Zheng Ping's words, he knew that the horse was indeed dead because of his pressure, so he couldn't help feeling a little sad.Thinking that he lost the Cao family's horse, compensation is inevitable, and when he was crying, he heard Zheng Ping speak again.

"However, the death of Crazy Horse is not to blame for you. Even without your touch, it might have crashed into a tree and fell to its death due to its frenzy, and it might have lost another life. The fault of the madman."

Cao Pi echoed: "It is true. I will find out the reason and catch the evildoers behind the scenes."

Zheng Ping asked Li Jin again: "So, you haven't returned for a long time, because you were taken too far by the mad horse?"

"It's almost for this reason. Later, when I was in a hurry to go back, I happened to meet Xuan'er on the way, so I came here with Xuan'er..."

Zheng Ping turned to Guo Xuan:

"You came alone?"

Guo Xuan said: "The entourage and guards will deliver the salute at the back. Brother Yi and I will go ahead and meet this 'Second Young Master'."

The brother-in-law Guo Xuan refers to is Li Jin.In the beginning, Li Jin insisted on pulling Zheng Ping to make a sworn brother in the name of congeniality, and asked Zheng Ping to call him big brother, but Zheng Ping ruthlessly refused.Afterwards, he practiced it twice, but failed to produce any results, so he took the wrong path and entangled Guo Xuan to make a sworn brother. He nicknamed it "When I become my younger sister's brother-in-law, I will also be equal to Zhengping's brother-in-law."

Guo Xuan was tortured to the bone by Li Jin, and Li Jin was a chivalrous man with a trustworthy character, which gave Guo Xuan the idea of ​​being a close friend, and finally accepted Li Jin's request, and He swore together with soil, and from then on he was called righteous brother and sister.

Cao Pi, who was standing by the side, also recalled this time.It turned out that the martyr Guo Xuan was not only an acquaintance with Li Jin, but also an acquaintance of Zheng Ping.

He hurriedly said: "Thanks to this Yishi Guo. If he hadn't made a move, I'm afraid I would be bitten by a poisonous snake, and my life and death are unknown."

Although Zheng Ping guessed that it might be Li Jin who helped Cao Pi kill the poisonous snake, he didn't expect that Guo Xuan was also responsible for it.

He still has other things to tell Guo Xuan, but this is not a place to reminisce about the past.He said to Cao Pi:

"Second Young Master, if there is really someone who intends to do something wrong, maybe he will clean up the traces."

Cao Pi heard another meaning in Zheng Ping's words. He asked his most trusted guard to go back and report to Cao Cao what happened here, and ordered the other guards to stay beside the horse corpse in groups of three, waiting for Cao Cao to send someone to come over.

About an hour later, Cao Pi and others returned to Xudu.When Cao Pi returned to the mansion, Cao's mansion was in turmoil, and news spread everywhere that "the second son fell from the horse and his personnel are unknown".

The third son, Cao Zhi, heard that his brother was seriously injured, and ran out in a hurry, but was detained by Mrs. Bian and taken to the room to comfort him.

Mrs. Bian had already received Cao Cao's order to let people pass the news that she was out of breath and passed out in the room, and sent someone to close the door of the room, and used the weaving to cover up the uneasiness in her heart.

When Cao Pi was carried into the room for "rescue", Sima Yi and his wife sat in the living room, their brows and eyes were quite solemn.

In the name of suppressing shock, the people from Sikong Mansion politely invited them to stay for tea and honey water.But Sima Yi and his wife knew very well that this was actually to restrict their actions.

Because the two of them were insiders, before the planners of the Crazy Horse Incident took the bait, the people from the Sikong Mansion monitored their words and deeds at all times to prevent them from doing anything bad.

Sima Yi was in a bad mood.He declined Cao Cao's recruitment due to his illness, but he didn't know that he had no precautions. He just went to Xudu to visit his father and elder brother. On the way, he encountered an innocent disaster, so his true colors were revealed, and he was caught by Cao Cao's men.

"I didn't expect him to be the son of Cao Cao..."

If he had known that the young man being dragged by the crazy horse was Cao Pi, he would not have followed them half a step into Xudu even if he performed another iron-headed kungfu on the spot.

"It's not too late to know now." Zhang Chunhua took a bite of a snack, chewing while not forgetting to whisper, "You were indeed sick, but now you're better, it's as simple as that."

Sima Yi is still in a bad mood.

If it is said that Sima Yi's bad mood is just a feeling of bad luck, then Cao Cao on the other side, his bad mood can be described as "as if ten chicks are pulling bird droppings on top of his head in turn".

The early death of the eldest son has always been a pain in his heart, and now less than two years later, someone dared to stretch his claws on his second son, how could Cao Cao bear it.

After Cao Cao, who was full of resentment, heard that it was Zheng Ping and his relatives who saved his life, he finally felt lucky and prevailed.

He reminded himself in his heart that talent should not stick to one pattern, as long as he is indeed a great talent and can use it for himself, even if he is a little arrogant or irritating...

Cao Cao knew very well that the significance of this rescue was very different from that in the barracks.Regardless of the degree of danger, Cao Pi's life was actually not in danger last time. Zheng Ping just happened to save Cao Pi while protecting himself.

But this time, when the other guards were at a loss what to do, Zheng Ping could have done nothing about it, but he finally chose to ride his horse to save Cao Pi, and took the initiative to risk his life to save him, which shocked Cao Cao greatly. Silk feels ashamed.

After finishing his mental training, he was about to thank this crazy man who saved his son twice, and squeezed out a smile that combined kindness, gratitude, and goodness, when Zheng Ping suddenly made a dazed expression, with A little surprised.

"I haven't seen you for half a day, why is Sikong so ugly?"

Cao Cao's half-squeezed smile froze on his face.

Zheng Ping sighed inscrutablely: "High-ranking people are prone to overwork. Sikong is not young, and needs to be carefully maintained on weekdays, so as not to loosen his skin and show the appearance of a shriveled orange."

Although it sounded like rare words of caring, Cao Cao was not moved at all when he heard it. He just returned to his expressionless face and swallowed all the drafts he had typed.

"The county marquis was joking. When he smelled an unpleasant smell, his face should have wrinkled and lines formed. When the stench dissipated, the lonely expression relaxed, and these lines naturally disappeared."

Cao Cao alluded to Zheng Ping as the source of the stench. If Mi Heng was madly ill, he would point at Cao Cao and yell at him.Zheng Ping has always been self-cultivating, he is the only one who is angry with others, and he is not the one who is angry with him. Hearing this, he chuckled nonchalantly:

"I didn't expect that Sikong accidentally slipped today and fell into the golden pit. Since that's the case, Sikong hasten to wash up, so as not to smoke out his own wrinkles, but also smoke down other people."

The name of the source of the stench was returned to Cao Cao intact.Cao Cao was so overwhelmed that he murmured in his heart: This person has just saved Cao Pi by risking his own life, and let him go once, let him be arrogant once.

After repeating the silent recitation several times, it has the effect of chanting scriptures, and finally resisted the urge to draw the sword, and stood up as if nothing had happened:

"I'm going to see Pi'er, the county marquis is free to do so."

Zheng Ping continued: "Coincidentally. Heng is also going to see the Second Young Master, why don't you go with Sikong?"

Cao Cao was furious, drew out his sword... and pushed aside the Boshan stove by the door.

"The censer burns your feet, go this way to the county marquis."
