When Wei Cheng came back, it was already evening.
In order to make myself look more embarrassed, I felt like I was in seclusion for ten days without taking a shower. I even ran on the treadmill for two hours wearing Hanfu and waited until the sweat on my body had dried before I came back.
Pushing open the door of the quiet room, Cai Yan and his girls were indeed sitting in the yard outside.
Seeing that Wei Cheng had finally finished his 'retreat', the women were stunned for a moment, and then gathered around him with different expressions.
Cai Yan's eyes flashed with tears. Seeing the stench of sweat all over Wei Cheng's body, he hurriedly asked Aunt Niu to prepare hot soup.
Hao Niang brought a simple meal that she prepared every day, a bowl of porridge and several plates of appetizers, all made by herself.
Zhong Chan walked around Wei Cheng and said appraisingly: "My hair is a little messy and my clothes are wrinkled. It's basically the same as before the retreat. Why are you so worried? I'll tell you that Brother Wei must have a panacea. Take one." You can go without eating for ten days and a half, right?"
Wei Teng was still a little nervous when he listened to her analysis, fearing that his methods would be exposed. But when he heard what she said about the panacea, he instantly felt happy. He nodded and said, "Well, Chan'er is right."
Zhong Chan smiled and stretched out his hand.
Wei Cheng smacked him angrily and said, "Go, go, go, there's no magic elixir. I just eat military rations to survive."
When Zhong Chan heard this, she looked disappointed. She had also eaten the military rations, which were just a piece of tasteless square pancake. It could satisfy her hunger, but it was definitely not delicious.
Wei Cheng didn't want to argue with her about the food issue in seclusion, so he quickly changed the subject and asked curiously: "Where are Aning and Niu Niu?"
Cai Yan was helping Wei Cheng tidy up his messy collar. Hearing this, he responded: "Mr. Zhang has taken up a position in the Medical Department of Heluo College. An Ning and Niu Niu have gone there to play. They finally got together with Mr. Zhang, and An Ning saw the sky." My son ran to Heluo Academy. I asked her to go to school before, it was like killing her, haha."
Wei Cheng also smiled and said: "That's fine. It's better to have a teacher watching her than having her play around every day. She can also learn some medical science from the teacher, and maybe she can become a goddess doctor in the future."
After bathing and changing clothes, and eating some simple meals prepared by Hao Niang, the housekeeper Wei Mu, with Cai Yan's consent, sent the news that Wei Cheng had ended her retreat.
In less than half an hour, the Dongyuan living room was already crowded with people seeking to see Wei Cheng.
At this time, Wei Cheng, his second uncle Wei Min, Xu Ding, and Tian Feng were making tea and discussing matters in the study.
Tian Feng knelt down on the futon, holding a small box made of nanmu in his hand. He carefully opened it and smelled it, and said, "Is this the result of the young master's ten days of seclusion?"
Wei Teng took out an empty cup, poured some boiling water into it, and said with a smile: "Take a little and throw it into the hot soup to have a taste."
Tian Feng didn't know why, so he could only act as he was told. He picked up a handful of powder from the box and sprinkled it into the cup, then picked it up and smelled it. After looking at Wei Cheng, he tried to take a sip, and then said in surprise: " Just a small amount can have such a delicious aroma!”
Wei Cheng motioned Wei Min and Xu Ding to try it, and said: "I call this MSG. It is made from dried kelp and dried shrimp skin. You only need to add a little bit to the dishes. It enhances the flavor of the dish.”
After every so-called 'retreat', Wei Cheng had to produce some 'results', on the one hand to deal with Cai Yan, and on the other hand to improve the living standards of this era.
The reason why MSG was taken out this time was also affected by Tao Qian's seafood incident. Later, Wei Cheng asked Tian Feng to order large quantities of kelp and dry goods from Tao Qian in order to prepare for making MSG.
The prepared MSG can be transported to Shuofang and exported to Europe. With the magical effect of MSG, it will surely open up the European market very quickly. Wei Cheng even wants to make thirteen incense. Foreigners who are not good at cooking can use seasonings. Come on.
After handing over the method of making MSG to Tian Feng, Wei Cheng ignored the matter and acted as a hands-off shopkeeper.
Xu Ding talked about the war situation in Xuzhou.
Wei Cheng was shocked for a moment when he learned that Cao Cao's father had been killed, because the time had also advanced. Like Sun Jian, Cao Song also died three or four years earlier. Needless to say, it must have been due to his own influence.
After three seconds of silence for Mr. Cao, Wei Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Cao Cao will definitely be furious once Cao Song dies. This is a good opportunity. I wonder if Wen Ruo can seize the opportunity?"
Wei Min and the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
Tian Feng obviously said with a bit of bragging tone: "Look, I have said a long time ago that the young master has a long-term vision and will never let go of such a good opportunity. Although Wen Ruo's move is a bit arrogant, it can be regarded as an eastward move. Opportunity.”
Wei Cheng was stunned, "Why, what else are you hiding from me?"
Wei Min obviously felt guilty and said, "You can't blame Wen Ruo for this. I'm afraid you will punish him if I tell you."
Wei Cheng frowned and said bluntly: "Did Wen Ruo make a mistake?"
Xu Ding stood up, bowed his hands and said, "Sir, we are actually the real culprits who killed Cao Song."
Wei Cheng raised his eyes and looked at the three of them in astonishment. He even forgot to put down the tea cup in his hand. "What is going on? You guys should finish it all at once. Why are you here with me?"
Wei Min looked at Tian Feng and Xu Ding. He was the first person to support Xun or. Wei Cheng had been standing still. The elders of the Wei clan had been impatient for a long time. Now that Xun or took the first step, the elders of the Wei clan They were so happy that they almost held a party.
But thinking of Wei Cheng's temper, Wei Min had a headache again. If Xun was punished by Wei Cheng for this, wouldn't it be a chill in people's hearts?
Therefore, when talking about the battle in Xuzhou just now, Wei Min asked Tian Feng and Xu Ding not to mention the real cause of Cao Song's death, because he wanted to see Wei Cheng's subsequent views on Cao Song's death in Xuzhou.
Hearing that Wei Cheng was interested in Xuzhou, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After Wei Cheng listened to Xu Ding's explanation, he looked at his second uncle Wei Min speechlessly.
Wei Min explained awkwardly: "Cheng'er, Wen Ruo did this very carefully. If he is punished for this, it will be too much."
"Second uncle, I won't punish Wen Ruo this time, but I will punish you."
Wei Min was stunned for a moment, then he patted his chest and stood up and said: "Punishment, punish me for concealing military information, I am willing to be punished, hahaha."
Xu Ding and Tian Feng also looked at each other and smiled. They clearly saw that Wei Cheng was joking.
This was the first time Wei Cheng saw his second uncle being so generous. He picked up the teapot on the side and added tea to the three of them while saying, "Then second uncle will go back to Jiujiang with second aunt to help me with something." Bar."
When Wei Min heard that he was going back to Jiujiang with Lu Ying, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
"Second uncle must help me bring Sun Bofu back when he goes south this time."
Wei Cheng did not give him a chance to regret, and directly gave him a task. Recruiting Sun Ce was his original plan. Wei Min also knew this. If he could get Sun Ce's navy, then the integrity of Wei's army would be Will go up a level.
"You kid... Huh, okay, as long as you don't punish Wen Ruo, I will make this trip to Jiujiang myself."
The uncle and nephew looked at each other and smiled, raised their teacups, and substituted tea for wine, thus making an agreement.
At this time, Xu Ding remembered something happy and said: "By the way, sir, the young master of the Xie family has recommended a good man to join the Longshan Army. This man's bravery is not inferior to Gongming, and he also has a younger brother. It was the young master who named him." To be recruited.”
"Oh?" Wei Cheng became interested.
···
The next day.
Dingjunfang, a martial arts field.
Xu Huang stood in the center of the field with a golden sword, holding a wooden stick made of peach wood in his hand. There were many pitted marks on the stick, all of which were scars left by the sergeants' daily training.
Opposite Xu Huang, a figure of Ang Zang wearing a tiger skin turban stood motionless. The man also held a mahogany stick in his hand, and he was staring at Xu Huang in front of him.
The confrontation lasted for a while.
The man suddenly said: "If I win, can I really get two Longshan iron tires?"
Xu Huang was startled when he heard this and looked back at Xie Hui on the sidelines.
Xie Hui was a little embarrassed by Xu Huang and said hurriedly: "This is his request. I have no choice but to agree. Mr. Xu, be careful. This man is a strong soldier who can kill Xiong Yan alone."
Then he said to Zhao Feng: "Brother Zhao, don't worry. If you really defeat General Xu, not to mention two Longshan iron tires, which cost only ten or eight yuan, I will get them for you."
When Zhao Feng heard this, he couldn't help but tighten the mahogany stick in his hand. He knew a little about Xu Huang's deeds. Although they were all hearsay, Xu Huang's bravery had already been widely spread in Jizhou and Youzhou.
"The top of this stick is coated with dye. Whoever gets hit three times first will lose immediately. You don't have any objections, right?"
Le Jin mainly asked about Zhao Feng. After all, they usually trained in this way, and Xu Huang had never been hit by dye.
Zhao Feng put away his heavy heart, cupped his fists and bowed.
Xu Huang also cupped his fists and saluted.
Upon seeing this, Le Jin retreated directly to the sidelines.
When~
The gong rang, and the two people on the field charged at each other almost at the same time.
In terms of speed, Zhao Feng was obviously much faster, but that didn't mean anything because Xu Huang had already reached out and lifted the stick forward, launching the offensive one step ahead of Zhao Feng.
The soldiers on the sidelines could see clearly that Zhao Feng had never been on the battlefield to kill the enemy before. The stick technique he used, no, it should be said to be gun technique. Although his moves were experienced, he always missed a hit at the critical moment and was killed. opportunity.
Compared with Zhao Feng's complicated and changeable spear skills, Xu Huang's stick skills are really great. The sticks can capture people's vital points. Every simple thrust can scare Zhao Feng's face. Change.
But even so, Zhao Feng was still able to rely on his superb skills and quick reactions to avoid Xu Huang's every attack mysteriously.
The two of them fought more than a hundred moves back and forth, but they couldn't leave any dye on each other.
Courtside.
Zhao Yun looked at his elder brother in the ring with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Master once said that my brother is a martial arts prodigy who is rare to see in a century. It's a pity that he has passed the age of tempering his muscles. Otherwise, my brother will definitely be able to leave a name in history with his martial arts."
"However, General Xu is so powerful. If I go up to fight him, I will probably be defeated within twenty moves. My strength is still a little weak. Alas, I really want to grow up quickly..."
"Little brother, what are you doing all by yourself?"
Zhao Yun was startled, and when he turned around he saw a rich and handsome young man in white. His status must be noble, and he hurriedly cupped his fists and saluted.
The young man in white is half a head taller than Zhao Yun. Although he looks thin, he feels a strong sense of oppression.
"Changshan Zhao Zilong, I have met the young master."
The young man in white was smiling, and after nodding with him, he looked at the two people on the stage who were competing, and asked: "I heard that the little brother is the right-hand man of Jihou in Youzhou. It's really amazing that he can achieve such an achievement at such a young age. I am impressed, I heard that Jihou has three thousand white horse loyal followers under his command, but I don’t know how powerful they are, can they compare to Wei’s Longshan Army.”
Zhao Yun only thought it was a territorial dispute between rich young masters, and said bravely: "The Longshan Army is indeed strong, but the three thousand cavalry under Jihou are not vegetarians."
"So strong?" The young man in white looked surprised.
Zhao Yun blushed and coughed with a thick neck. He felt extremely guilty. What was the true combat effectiveness of the so-called three thousand white horse followers? Fucked up.
There is no way, no matter who is well-equipped, the Dragon Mountain Armor is even more invulnerable, and is invulnerable to water and fire.
When Zhao Yun came back to his senses, he found that the young man in white was no longer there.
I looked around and finally saw the man walking into a bamboo building.
Zhao Yun's eyes couldn't help but fall on the guard behind the young man in white.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see the scene of thousands of beasts galloping on the guard's body, as if there were millions of wolves, jackals, tigers and leopards running towards him with scarlet eyes.
Dian Wei also instinctively glanced back, but quickly looked away. A fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old boy was a natural talent, and at this time, he could not enter the eyes of his ancient evil.
In the bamboo house.
Wei Cheng sat on the chair with a smile. This position was right by the window and he could see the action on the martial arts field.
What I have to say is that Zhao Yun's brother is indeed a master. He can fight Xu Huang back and forth. At least his force value will not be lower than Dian Wei and Xu Chu. He may also be able to compete with Guan Yu. .
However, according to Wei Cheng's memory, this Zhao Feng seemed to have died in the past two years. At that time, Zhao Yun asked for leave to go back to express his condolences, and later went to Xuzhou to follow Liu Bei after he left the mountain.
Now the timeline is basically messed up. Liu Bei has already made a name for himself in Jingzhou, but Zhao Yun is still Gongsun Zan's man.
Looking at Zhao Feng on the court and Zhao Yun on the sidelines, Wei Cheng was very moved.
No matter how Zhao Feng died, at present, Zhao Yun, the brother, is indeed a rare talent. I hope that his appearance can save a life.
After all, two historical figures died early in succession, and Wei still felt a little guilty in his heart.
"Evil, bring the Gentian Silver Spear to the stage, and give him a set of Dragon Mountain Armor. I want to see his true strength. You only need to tell him that as long as he does not lose, I will send the two brothers to their respective A powerful weapon."
Dian Wei cupped his fists and saluted, paused, and suddenly asked: "Master, can you let me have a fight with him?"
Wei Cheng nodded funnyly, "Okay, but don't hurt him."
Dian Wei clasped his fists and left.
The person Dian Wei was talking about was not Zhao Feng on the stage, but Zhao Zilong, who made him angry just by looking at him.
