Han Xiang

Chapter 380

Long Xiang shook his head and reminded Chen Ying: "Since the Chen family has a good relationship with Zhang Liao, Dongcheng can go to Hefei by water. You only need to find a big boat to wade through the water, and Yuanlong will not suffer from the turbulence."

"Hiss, if the general reminded me, I almost forgot about this, thank you very much!" Chen Ying bowed his hands.

Chen Ying hurried back to Dongcheng, and in less than ten days, the North Ship docked at Hefei Wharf.

Because of his humble background, Long Xiang had no chance to make friends with Chen Deng even though Han Yin went to Xiapi as an envoy.

Only a few short years later, Long Xiang started from scratch by himself, dealt with various forces in Huainan, and reached the same height as Chen Deng.

Gathered to greet each other in Hefei, Long Xiang and Chen Deng looked at each other for a long time.

The real Chen Deng was similar to Long Xiang's thoughts.

The same tall and thin appearance, high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, sparse beard carefully trimmed, probably caused by suffering from illness, his sallow face looks haggard.

As the saying goes, Xiangru is born from the heart, Long Xiang was in his early twenties, showing self-confidence in every gesture. At this time, he is a small prince who ruled the other side, and has the enviable Second Bridge.

The combination of various factors made Long Xiang's face glow.

Chen Deng is exactly forty this year, he seems to see the light in Long Xiang, and also sees himself a few years ago.

At that time, he used all kinds of clever tricks to help Cao Cao destroy Lu Bu, and he was really high-spirited.

Such a person, would there be no ambition?

Chen Deng didn't believe it.

Long Xiang used to only live in the information of Chen's family. Taking advantage of the opportunity of recuperating in Hefei and staying in Hefei, Chen Deng planned to get to know this young man who was similar to himself.

After being sent to the Hua Tuo Medical Center for consultation, the Chen family brothers were settled in the post house, and the treatment and conditioning period was determined for half a month to one month. Chen Deng recovered as quickly as possible.

On the night when he came to Hefei, Chen Deng called Chen Ying to the side of the couch before taking a break, and said solemnly: "Second brother, Long Xiang is extremely extraordinary, and his achievements in just a few years are astonishing. If I were his I can’t even do it because of my family background, so I plan to get to know you better, as the saying goes, there must be a teacher from me.”

Chen Ying was full of curiosity: "How do you know?"

"Naturally, we should look more, ask more questions, and think more."

Chen Deng stroked his sparse beard and finished explaining, and immediately stated his plan: "When I get better in a few days, I will come to the door to talk face to face under the guise of thanking you. You can take advantage of the time when you go out to get medicine every day, and then spend more time in the city. Wander around to understand the situation, and focus on inquiring about Long Xiang, a person's success is not accidental, you can see the clues and clues."

"Brother, I'm afraid this matter will be very difficult." Chen Ying showed embarrassment.

Chen Deng was puzzled and asked: "Why?"

"Hefei is different from other cities. You can see that the people in the city are happy. That's because they have ID numbers, which can be checked by patrol officers and soldiers at any time. Foreigners don't have such things, so their mobility is very restricted."

Chen Ying narrated with a bitter face, and told the experience of his superiors as if he had personally explained it, saying that he was almost sent to work in the new city.

Even Mi Heng, a famous scholar, had to do hard labor for half a year. As the second son of the Chen family in Xuzhou, Chen Ying could not accept working with Qianshou.

Chen Deng squinted his eyes halfway, and muttered to himself: "This is the saving grace. This Hefei really hides a lot of good things. Since the second brother has lingering fears, then you should use your eyes to observe but not your mouth. We belong to Hefei at least now." Guest, I believe Long Xiang will give the Chen family some favors."

"Okay." Chen Ying nodded in response.

After a few days of Hua Tuo's treatment, Chen Deng's complexion improved significantly, so he planned to visit Long Xiang.

Chen Deng was also the prefect of a county. He thought it was inappropriate to come to the door recklessly with a gift, so he followed the official rules and wrote a greeting card first for the post officials to pass on.

When Long Xiang agrees to go again, both parties have their own preparations, so it will not appear so abrupt.

It was midsummer at the end of June, and the whole Huainan was taken care of by the bright sun.

Occasional showers will not relieve the heat, but will raise the surface heat.

Of the two pregnant women in the back house, the eldest sister, Qiao Wei, is pregnant at this time, and Xiao Qiao is no different from ordinary people because of the short time, but both sisters have lost their appetite due to the heat.

Chen asked people to prepare plum juice (sour plum soup) to cool off the heat, but Qiao Wan thought it was too sour and didn't want to drink it. Only Qiao Wei could drink it, so Long Xiang took advantage of this time to 'develop new dishes'.

In his previous life, Long Xiang lived alone until he was nearly 30 years old. He often learned how to cook from short videos when he was off work. It satisfies the mouth.

After receiving the greeting card, Long Xiang put down his rolling pin, and left Erqiao as a farewell.

Long Xiang wanted to make friends with Chen Deng, so he didn't intend to let the "patient" visit. He took a small basket of courgettes (cucumbers) and a pot of rice wine, and went straight to the post in the afternoon.

It is also a raw food, cucumber is much healthier than raw fish. In order to find a partner for cucumber, Long Xiang also specially made preserved eggs.

It's just that the preserved egg is a hair product, which is not suitable for Chen Deng to eat at this time. Otherwise, simply mix it and it will be another appetizer.

Hearing that Long Xiang came to the post in person, Chen Deng, who was waiting for the letter, did not expect it.

He was originally dressed casually in the room to enjoy the cool air, and after tidying up his clothes for a while, he went out to greet guests.

The room was stuffy with the windows open, so Long Xiang led Chen Deng to sit outside in the corridor, and asked him to cut up the cucumbers he had brought, and the two of them used the cucumbers to drink with wine.

"I asked Mr. Hua yesterday, and he said that based on Yuanlong's recovery, he should be able to recover in ten days. It should be fine to use a small amount of rice wine."

"Guests do as they please, even if they can't drink, I'll risk my life to accompany you."

"Hehe, Yuan Long is really a man of temperament."

Long Xiang used wine to divert the topic, and talked with Chen Deng about some old things in Xuzhou, which quickly aroused the empathy of the other party.

After exchanging pleasantries and sighs, Chen Deng suddenly stood up and bowed, saying: "Chen Deng can regain his life, thanks to Yun Qi bringing Mr. Hua to Hefei. If he is still stranded in Jiangdong, I will be dead today." .”

"Yuanlong, don't say that. Human life is determined by destiny. Even if Mr. Hua didn't come to Hefei, you will definitely save the day."

Although Long Xiang was polite to Chen Deng, he agreed with Chen Deng's point of view in his heart, thinking that both Chen Deng and Mi Heng were influenced by him.

If he hadn't time traveled to change history, Chen Deng should have died of illness in the past few years. He likes to eat raw fish and doesn't deworm regularly. If you don't die early, who will die early?
Long Xiang's understanding of Chen Deng mainly comes from the comment of Cao Cao in the TV series: "Chen Yuanlong is in the midst of turbulent waves, and he still plays with tide ears." '

In the early stage, it performed brilliantly, but in the later stage, it disappeared inexplicably.

There is only one explanation for premature death.

Seeing Long Xiang's seriousness, Chen Deng was too stupefied to refute after hearing it.

In fact, it is the skill that Long Xiang has cultivated in the workplace, no matter the truth or lies, he seems very sincere.

"Whether it's destiny or man-made, my gratitude must not be less. My younger brother once offered money and food support, but it was a pity that Yunqi rejected it. Is there really no shortage in Hefei?"

"Hey, there are so many princes in this world, including Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, how can there be no shortage of money and food? It's just that I want to make friends with Yuan Long, and I don't want to negotiate a deal."
