Chapter 384
Zhang Chen looked at the energetic Cao Juncheng guards in front of him, and nodded secretly.

Although Cao Cao's reputation in history is not very good, history books have always emphasized that Cao Cao is a generation of heroes who will never trust anyone, but no one has questioned Cao Cao's ability,

"My little brother, I came from Fancheng and wanted to make a living in Xudu, so I went over to take a look. Oh, by the way, the one behind is my apprentice." Zhang Chen explained to the soldiers.

Although Zhang Chen had already told the soldiers that he had no malicious intentions, the rumbling footsteps were too scary, so Zhang Chen and Zhao Xinghuo were stopped directly.

The team leader was startled. He looked at Zhang Chen and then at Zhao Xinghuo who was carrying a big bag on his back, "What is that boy carrying on his back?"

Zhang Chen said with a smile, "Some luggage are ordinary things, because there are too many, so I had to pack them in a big bag and bring them here."

The captain nodded without saying anything.

In this era, there are no drugs or other messy things, and the folk customs are simple, so you have the habit of letting you check them all out. Of course, it is because this is Xudu, under the eyes of Prime Minister Cao. To cause trouble is courting death for these people.

"Okay, let's go." The team leader waved Zhang Chen to let him go after a brief question.

The soldiers guarding the city watched the two strange men leave.

One of the soldiers waited until Zhang Chen and Zhang Chen walked away and couldn't help but said to the captain, "Captain, why didn't you stop them, it's obvious what they said was wrong, think about it, it's so far from Fancheng, their Their bodies should be full of dust, and they must be exhausted after eating and sleeping all the way, but you don’t see how tired they look.”

The captain glanced at the soldier, and said after a moment of silence, "You know what? When I was a city guard soldier like you, I met a famous person. At that time, he said that he came from the west on his way. It took three months to come here, I didn’t believe it at the time, but I finally found out that he really came from the West.”

The soldier asked curiously when he heard this, "Captain, who is that man?"

"Lu Fengxian."

……

On the other side, after Zhang Chen walked into the city gate, he turned his head and glanced behind him, "It's interesting."

After speaking, he led Zhao Xinghuo to find the yard under the surprised eyes of the people around.

Because it was too late today, Zhang Chen took Zhao Xinghuo to find an inn to stay temporarily, but he didn't know whether Xudu was too busy or Zhao Xinghuo's huge luggage was too eye-catching, so he found several inns along the way. It's full.

In the end, a kind-hearted person was willing to lend his yard to Zhang Chen and the two to stay for one night, which solved the problem of accommodation.

After staying in Xudu for one night, Zhang Chen left some money early the next morning and took Zhao Xinghuo to buy and sell land, and picked a small courtyard in a fringe area.

Since then, there have been two strange people in Xudu. A young man has nothing to do except strolling in the street every day, lying on a chair at the gate of the small courtyard to bask in the sun, and the other is carrying a heavy-looking bag on his back every day. Things ran on the street, and every time it was early in the morning, the young man went out just after the rooster crowed in the morning, and gradually the time passed, and the people nearby got used to it.

As long as you hear the sound of thumping and the trembling of the ground in your sleep, you know you have to get up.

In this way, the 12th year of Jian'an came to the end of the year.

Xu Du As the New Year's Eve approached, the surrounding atmosphere became more and more festive. Many family members hung red lanterns at the door, and the festive atmosphere became more and more intense.

At this moment, good news came from the city going north.

Cao Cao personally led the northern expedition to Wuhuan, a great victory.

On the way back from the battle, passing Jieshi, Cao Cao felt it, and wrote the next song "Guan Canghai", which became famous all over the world.

As the end of the year approaches, Cao Cao's battle reports have been spread in all places along with this poem. It is strange that Cao Cao's northern expedition to Wuhuan basically calmed down after a period of time. Canghai was regarded as an eternal masterpiece by various literati for a while.

Zhang Chen naturally received the news when he was in Xudu, and the news he received was more detailed than others, because Zhang Chen specially entered Cao Cao's mansion to see the first-hand information.

There is nothing new about the poem "Guan Canghai" for Zhang Chen. After all, he had read it dozens of times in high school textbooks before, and it would be fine even if he memorized it.

But there was a piece of information in this war that caught Zhang Chen's attention.

According to the report, just as Cao Cao and others were attacking Wuhuan, a great glow suddenly came from the grasslands in the north. In the end, although Cao Cao and others defeated Wuhuan, nearly half of the people ran in the direction of the Wanzhang Xiaguang Go, and all the troops who went to pursue them lost their way at last, and rushed back after a while.

Zhang Chen was thoughtful after seeing this information.

Obviously, this kind of thing should not be hidden. Even if Cao Cao governed the army very strictly, there would always be rumors, but in history, there is no such allusion at all, not even in unofficial history.

For some reason, Zhang Chen immediately thought of Su Bo and the others.

"Could it be one of them?" Zhang Chen touched his chin.

Soon, heavy footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

Afterwards, Zhao Xinghuo walked in with a huge load of luggage on his back.

Zhao Xinghuo put his heavy luggage aside, "Teacher, I went to buy some delicious dishes just now. It seems that today is the end of the new year. Let's improve the food."

"Okay." Zhang Chen watched Zhao Xinghuo walking towards the kitchen with his luggage in one hand and vegetables in the other, thinking in his heart.

This kid seems to have adapted to the current weight again, do you want to give him some more food?
In the evening, Zhang Chen and Zhao Xinghuo sat face to face at the table, and on the table were dishes cooked by Zhao Xinghuo.

I don’t know if it’s because I was hungry and scared when I was a child or because I learned something because I was with Zhang Chen. Zhao Xinghuo’s cooking skills are getting better and better, and he has even reached the point where the color, fragrance and taste are complete. With the ingredients brought by Zhang Chen, The dishes on a table look very exciting.

However, the master and apprentice still ate honestly while it was still bright. After all, there were only two people in the whole yard, and it would be difficult to clean up the housework when it was dark. Would it be necessary to light a dim oil lamp to wash dishes?

Soon, the dishes on the table became a mess under the wind and clouds of the master and apprentice.

After eating, Zhang Chen noticed that the street was brightly lit, so he waved to Zhao Xinghuo who had just finished packing the dishes on a whim, "Xinghuo, come, it looks like it will be very lively tonight, let's go out and see Go watch the fun."

Although Zhao Xinghuo has practiced with Zhang Chen for a long time, he is still a child after all. He was very excited when he heard that he could go out to play, "Really?! Teacher, you are amazing!"
