At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Page 25

Guo Peng called Guo Mu and Guo Shui to roast the game they had hunted before, and then cooked some food to eat a little better.

I used to eat dry food for the past few days, but now I have entered Taiyuan County, I can take a little longer and eat a little better.

"Be careful not to use an open fire when roasting, otherwise the inside is not cooked, and the outside will be burnt. Use all the carbon, cut the meat thinly, and spread it on the wire mesh, so that the roasted meat will be tender and delicious!"

Guo Peng takes the trouble to teach others his barbecue secrets. Every time everyone stops to fight teeth these days, it is when Guo Peng's barbecue shines.

Not only grilled meat, but also grilled green vegetables, the wild vegetables that usually taste nothing like grilling have a unique flavor.

Cai Yong ate Guo Peng's barbecue, and immediately said that he had never eaten such fragrant meat, and smiled and blamed Guo Peng for not showing such ability to entertain him when he was in Luoyang.

After these days of rushing career, Cai Yong has also seen a lot, and he has let go of his leaving Luoyang. The only thing he can't let go of is the school book business of Dongguan. He instructed Guo Peng to continue to join the school book work after returning. Among them, to complete this work, do not let it go to waste.

In addition, he took Guo Peng's hand to express his apology to Guo Peng.

Guo Peng delivered the roasted meat and some wild vegetables to Cai Yong, and then gave another portion to Mrs. Cai and Xiao Cai Yan who had been in the car, while he took a plate and ate with Cai Yong.

"Little Yi, I'm really bothering you."

"Cai Gong, don't say such words again, this is what the students are willing to do."

Guo Peng brought the barbecued meat, vegetables, and a bowl of fish soup to Cai Yong. Cai Yong sighed, took it, and ate with Guo Peng.

"You originally had nothing to do with this matter, and you don't have to participate, but now you..."

Cai Yong took a few bites and seemed to feel sorry again.

"Cai Gong, without your help, the students would not be where they are today, and they would not be able to worship the teacher. If Cai Gong is in trouble, of course students must do their best."

Guo Peng gave Cai Yong a piece of barbecue on the plate: "And the students are very happy to be able to follow Duke Cai for a while and learn more."

"Ugh……"

Cai Yong was even more emotional, and stopped saying anything, just patted Guo Peng on the shoulder.

After dinner, the group was preparing to leave, and when they were ready to leave, Guo Peng suddenly saw a group of birds passing overhead and flying to the left from the position on the right. Guo Peng frowned, and before he spoke, Guo Peng. The fire came over.

"Master, let's be careful, there may be someone over there."

Guo Peng nodded and told them to be vigilant on the spot, then walked to Cai Yong's side and told Cai Yong to get into the car and hide.

"what happened?"

Cai Yong was very puzzled.

"It seems that someone came and shocked the birds. I'm afraid that the visitor is not good. Cai Gong, you go ahead and hide, and I will take someone to take a look."

Guo Peng pulled out the ring-head knife attached to his waist and told Cai Yong to hide, but just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of breaking through the air and exclamations.

Guo Peng looked back and saw that three people on his side had been hit by sudden arrows and fell to the ground.

"All hide behind the car! All hide behind the car!"

Between the lightning and flint, Guo Peng quickly calmed down and ordered the accompanying guards to hide behind the car and use the carriage to resist the arrows.

Cai Yong exclaimed, and Mrs. Cai's exclamation came from inside the car. Guo Peng secretly screamed that it was not good, and immediately told Cai Yong to squat down, then ran into the car, and protected Mrs. Cai and Xiao Cai Yan. He got out of the car and asked the family of three to hide behind him.

The shooting of the arrows stopped quickly. It is estimated that they found that the guards were using the carriage to resist the arrows. Knowing that it was useless, they simply killed them.

Everyone wore ordinary clothes, without exception, they were all covered, holding knives around their heads. They were completely different from the bandits who robbed them with stones and sticks two years ago.

these people……

It must be a hired killer!To kill Cai Yong!

Chapter 43 Peng will never let Yang Ball hurt Cai Gong (Revised)

"Kill them all!!"

The killers shouted such slogans and rushed towards the guards.

Guo Peng put down the ring sword, picked up the bow and arrow, bent the bow and arrow, hid behind the car and took a deep breath.

Then suddenly rushed to the side, looking at a target and letting go, the arrow whizzed away, hitting a killer's chest.

"Don't back off! Kill them with me!!"

After Guo Peng shot one person, he threw down the bow and arrow, picked up the ring-head knife and rushed out.

"Master!"

Seeing that Guo Peng was the first to rush out, they quickly followed.

The rest of the guards saw that someone took the lead in rushing, and there were not a lot of people on their side, so they rushed up and killed the killer.

The two teams soon intertwined and fought together. The number of killers was slightly larger, and their skills were also very strong. Guo Peng felt that this group of people was unusual when he met the first killer.

He has practiced martial arts for many years and has actual combat experience. In the past two years, he has undergone Lu Zhi's intensive training in Luoyang. His age has grown from twelve to fourteen, his height and weight have increased, and his force is higher than two years ago.

However, Guo Peng didn't take it easy against these guys. He felt that these killers were also very good at fighting, and they were quick and accurate.

Fortunately, the people on the escort team were not vegetarians, so the killers were on a par with Guo Peng and the others.

Guo Pengli slashed one person, was attacked again, almost got stabbed, and took a few steps back. Seeing that this was not possible, he asked Guo Huo and Guo Tu to cover him and leave the battlefield.

Guo Peng retreated to the side of the car to pick up the bow and arrow, bent the bow and placed the arrow, and when he released his hand, an arrow hit the back of a killer, killing him directly, freeing up a guard.

Then Guo Peng bent his bow and arrow again, let go of his hand again, and shot another person.

Guo Peng is better at archery than dancing with knives and guns. Whether he is practicing martial arts in his hometown or learning tactics with Lu Zhi, Guo Peng's archery skills have been praised by his instructors. He practiced archery a lot.

Guo Peng didn't know why, but when he raised his bow and arrow, he felt that he would definitely hit the target he wanted to hit.

The same is true now, Guo Peng shot three masked killers in a row with his bow and arrow, and the situation on the battlefield gradually changed.

The killers probably did not expect that the escort team's combat effectiveness was so strong and tenacious that they gradually fell behind.

After fighting for about a stick of incense, Guo Peng shot and killed six people in a row.

This encounter attack ended in victory, killing 27 killers, and the escort team also lost 23 people, which can be regarded as a tragic victory.

Cai Yong was still in shock. He came to Guo Peng and asked what was going on. Guo Peng didn't look good. He ordered the members of the escort who were killed to be buried on the spot, and then tore off the killer's face towel.

Guo Peng is naturally not familiar with them at all, and he can't see anything, but Guo Peng also has some judgments of his own.

"Cai Gong, these people have extraordinary skills, each with a knife around the head, not like an ordinary bandit, it is estimated that someone specially sent you to assassinate you."

"Assassinate me?"

Cai Yong's complexion changed as soon as he heard this, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of incredible expressions.

At this moment, Guo Huo suddenly exclaimed.

"Zhao Liu? Isn't this Zhao Liu?"

Guo Peng looked back and was surprised to see Guo Huo pointing at a corpse, then Guo Jin and Guo Tu also stepped forward, and at a glance they recognized the person named Zhao Liu.

Guo Peng stepped forward immediately.

"You know this person?"

"know."

Guo Huo nodded: "Master, we know this person in the army. He is a corporal and a native of Pei. He is also our fellow countryman. He has some contacts with us."

"In the army? Captain Changshui?"

"Yes."

Seeing the three nodded, Guo Peng turned to look at Cai Yong.

"Cai Gong, the previous captain of Changshui was my wife's uncle Cao Chi. He left the post for a few months. The current captain of Changshui is..."

"Zhao Xuan!"

Cai Yong suddenly realized: "I once wrote a memorial to impeach him for corruption and perverting the law, shouldn't I..."

"That's right, but I'm afraid he's not the only one behind this."

Guo Peng shook his head: "Can he send so many assassins without anyone cooperating with him?"

"Little Yi, what do you mean?"

"Yang Ball!"

Guo Peng narrowed his eyes and said the person's name; "It must be him. I'm annoyed that I failed to retaliate against Duke Cai. By the way, I guess there is also the idea of ​​killing Peng directly."

Cai Yong recovered, gradually regained his composure, swallowed, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Guo Peng said was possible.

"How dare he be so bold?"

"He was probably convinced that even if the assassination was unsuccessful, we would not be able to find the culprit behind it, but he didn't even know that Pengyou's servant knew any of his assassins, and he knew who was in the army. In this way, as long as this person If his identity is confirmed, Zhao Xuan will not be able to run away, pull out the radish and bring out the mud, Yang Qiu will definitely not get better!"

Guo Peng clenched his fists: "Cai Gong, Yang Qiu is really killing us, if you don't get rid of Yang Qiu's matter, you won't be able to live in Wuyuan, and he will probably send someone here. assassinate you."

"Then... how about that?"

Cai Yong was not afraid alone, but when he looked back at his wife and daughter who were still in shock, he was worried about his wife and daughter.

Guo Peng thought for a while and made up his mind.

"Cai Gong, you go forward and go to Wuyuan. Peng will bring a follower and go back with this person's head. He will go to Yang Qiu to settle the account. This time, Peng will never let Yang Qiu hurt Cai Gong!"

"No!"

As soon as Cai Yong heard this, he grabbed Guo Peng: "Xiao Yi, the yang ball is strong, and the backer is Situ Liu He, Liu He is a clan, you can't deal with it, you must not be reckless, this time if there is trouble If something goes wrong, you won't have such good luck!"

Guo Peng shook his head.

"Doing too much injustice will lead to suicide, Yang Qiu is doing too much injustice, Cai Gong was killed by him and went away to Wuyuan, but he still didn't let it go, and even sent someone to assassinate Cai Gong. Calculate the general ledger with him, and the matter is not over!

Moreover, he has attracted public anger this time. There are many people who are dissatisfied with him by people with lofty ideals in the court. There is only one chance to overthrow him. This person may be the best chance to overthrow him! "

Guo Peng bowed to Cai Yong.

"Cai Gong, you have a great kindness to Peng, this time, it is time for Peng to repay your kindness!"

Cai Yong's face was extremely embarrassed, he thought about it again and again, and finally sighed.

"Xiao Yi, I understand your temperament. If you decide, it's useless for me to stop you. It's good for you to be young, energetic and responsible, but the political struggle is not as simple as you think. It's easy to enter the game, but difficult to break. I've been an official for more than ten years, and if I say exile, I'm exiled, how about you?"

It's okay if Cai Yong didn't say anything, Guo Peng was really helpless when he said this.

Mr. Cai, how bad is your political consciousness and political sense of smell? Have you not counted 13 in your heart yet?

You're the one who died here, okay?

Chapter 44 Major Political Opportunities

Cai Yong's political level is really indescribable.

Writing a letter to impeach someone for speaking ill of them, but in the end you don’t know that they will send someone to assassinate your old man, you are dizzy, can this political sense be any worse?

Dong Zhuo was classified as a national thief and killed. Everyone rejoiced and cheered. You are a good old man. You sighed in front of Wang Yun.

You are a kind person, but you shouldn't be in the officialdom. You are an old pedant, and you are really not fit to be an official!

Do your academics and play your music with peace of mind?

At this point, Guo Peng has seen Cai Yong through, but he can't say too much, lest the old man lose face and be unhappy, and he will be stubborn at that time.

He can only perform a child who sees death as his home, and Cai Yong eats this set.

"If you die, I have no regrets!"

Guo Peng looked at death with a full face, and immediately ordered: "Guo Huo, cut off this person's head, and rush back to Luoyang with me, and find Zhao Xuan and Yangqiu to settle accounts!"

After he finished speaking, without giving Cai Yong a chance to hinder him, Guo Huo immediately cut off Zhao Liu's head, picked up the bloody head and hung it on the horse.

Guo Peng instructed the remaining four Jinmu Shuitui and the members of the escort team to guard Cai Yong's safety, try to take the main road and official road, and never hurry at night.

After that, ignoring Cai Yong's obstruction, he slapped the horse and left.Said that after the matter of Yangqiu was dealt with, Wuyuan would come to visit Cai Yong again.

Cai Yong was moved to tears, unable to utter a word, and looking at Guo Peng's disappearing figure for a long time, he was reluctant to set off. In the end, Guo Mu and Guo Shui helped him up and dragged him into the car, and then he was able to set off.

Guo Peng took Guo Huo all the way to the south. On the way, he found a county town to buy some lime, and used the method of the army to deal with the severed head, so as to prevent the head from prematurely decaying and making it difficult to identify the appearance. This is an important physical evidence.
