Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As the largest wealthy family in Qiao County, even though the county is now under martial law, Cao Cao can quickly receive news of everything that happens in Qiao County, and he can comment on it with Cao Ang when he has nothing to do.

    In Cao Ang¡¯s memory before traveling through time, there was never any trace of the Moon Worship Sect in the history of the late Han Dynasty.  In Cao Ang's view, it was probably just a small cult that was wiped out by the county magistrate Liu Quan before it even developed.  By the way, Liu Quan seems to be in a hurry, but he didn't expect that he has such a decisive side.

    Therefore, Cao Ang and Cao Cao did not pay much attention to this matter. They just said a few words casually and put it aside.  The two of them felt a little sorry for Lingyue who died and was buried. They both felt that she was a strange woman.

    After chatting for a while, Cao Cao stretched out and said to Cao Ang: "Ang'er, the day after tomorrow is a good day. Your grandfather and I have already made an agreement. A formal ceremony will be held on that day to adopt you under the name of the Ding family.  After correcting the genealogy, some guests will inevitably be invited to watch the ceremony. Although my father has resigned as the Prime Minister of Jinan, he still has some respect in the officialdom. In addition, your grandfather's face is also there, so I'm afraid there will be a lot of guests coming by then.  !¡±

    Cao Ang said with a smile: "The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. Isn't it just a banquet? My child will never embarrass you, father!"

    "It's good to have this confidence!" Cao Cao said with a smile: "My son, Cao Mengde, will definitely be able to withstand the wind and rain like those flowers in the greenhouse! By the way, your cousin's name will be announced by then.  Xiu', you are now an adult. After all, Cao Ren is young and it is time to find a good master for you. You also know your father's friends Xiahou Yuanrang (Xiahoudun) and Xiahou Miaocai (Xiahouyuan). Whether it is military art or martial arts,  They are all very proficient. They will be visiting us soon, and my father is going to let you become your disciples. What do you think?"

    Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan?  Of course Cao Ang knew their names. These were the two most famous generals in Cao Wei. It was Cao Ang's good fortune to be accepted as their disciples by them.

    Seeing Cao Ang nodding repeatedly and overjoyed, Cao Cao touched his forehead and asked in surprise: "You don't have a fever, why are you so excited? Let me make it clear to you in advance that they are very strict with their apprentices.  We had jointly recruited a disciple before, but that person couldn't stand the hardship and ran away from home secretly!"

    "Don't be afraid, kid!" Cao Ang said loudly: "Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war!"

    "You sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war?" Cao Cao repeated it in surprise and said loudly: "Okay!"

    As he spoke, he took the paper from the table and wrote these ten characters.

    After finishing writing, Cao Cao clapped his hands, and an attendant immediately ran in. Cao Cao said loudly: "Go to the stonemason and carve these ten words on the martial arts field, so that all our disciples can see these ten words!"

    The attendant quickly took the paper and strode out.  Cao Cao smiled and said to Cao Ang: "Since you know this truth, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. I guess it's time for them both to arrive. Come on, come on, follow me out to greet them!"

    Cao Ang quickly stood up and followed his father out. Soon he arrived at the door of the mansion, just as Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan came on horseback.

    After everyone chatted for a while, Cao Cao welcomed Xiahou Dun into the hall and ordered his attendants to bring honey water.  Cao Cao smiled and said: "It's too early to have a banquet. Drink some honey water to quench your thirst. Yuan Rang, Miaocai, this is my son Cao Ang and Cao Zixiu. Zixiu, come and pay homage to your two uncles!"

    Cao Ang stood up quickly, walked to the middle of the hall, saluted respectfully and said, "Cao Ang, Cao Zixiu, pays homage to the two uncles. I wish them good health and all the best!"

    "Please get up quickly!" Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan hurriedly stepped forward to help Cao Ang.

    The two Xiahou Dun brothers already knew that the Cao Mansion would hold a banquet the day after tomorrow regarding Cao Ang's adoption, which meant that Cao Ang could now be regarded as the eldest son of the Cao Mansion.  With such status, coupled with the current power of Cao Mansion, Xiahou Dun's two white bodies did not dare to accept the ceremony in a big way.

    However, Cao Ang solemnly bowed three times before getting up.  I heard him say loudly: "The order of elders and children cannot be abolished, and the gift of master and apprentice cannot be omitted. Today, I said that uncle, you intend to accept me as your disciple, please accept me as a gift!"

    Before Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan could stop him, Cao Ang solemnly bowed three times.

    Xiahou Dun smiled and shook his head, "Mengde, Zixiu is really up to you! You just said a few days ago that you had the idea of ??letting him worship in our name, but we haven't agreed yet. It's better now,  He actually performed the master-disciple ceremony!"

    Cao Cao smiled and said: "Yuan Rang, since you have accepted the gift of master and apprentice, you can't give in anymore! Just now I told Zi Xiu about your strict requirements. Zi Xiu said that you should sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war!  "

    "Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war!" Xiahou Dun repeatedOnce again, he said with a smile: "This sentence is a wise saying. Well, for the sake of this sentence, I will accept him as my disciple! Miaocai, what do you think?"

    Xia Houyuan said with a smile: "Although Zixiu is young, he still has the courage to defeat the enemy on his own. How could I not accept such a good apprentice?! But apprenticeship is always required. I heard that your Cao Mansion has recently entered  When fighting for gold, you can¡¯t go empty-handed!¡±

    Cao Cao laughed: "Don't worry, Shu Xiu can't miss you! By the way, Zixiu, didn't you tell the jade craftsman to make a small gadget yesterday? Just give it to your money-grubbing master!"

    Cao Ang quickly ordered someone to go to his yard, take out the jade article, and deliver it quickly.  He knelt down on one side and personally poured water for Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan.

    Everyone drank honey water and chatted.  In fact, Xia Houyuan's family is not short of money, but after all, this apprenticeship ceremony is also an important item of apprenticeship. If there is really a vacancy, it will be laughed at in the future.

    Not long after, Xiao Yi carefully walked into the lobby holding a wooden box and handed the wooden box to Cao Ang.

    Cao Ang took the box, placed it in front of Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan's cases, and opened the box gently.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????  Everyone was very surprised, what does this mean?

    Cao Ang said with a smile: "This is what I suddenly thought of a few days ago. It's called 'become a marquis immediately'! I hope that the two uncles can use their skills to make great achievements soon, and in the future they can go on stage to pay homage to the generals and be granted the title of marquis based on their merits."  !¡±

    "Good!" Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Cao praised loudly together.

    Cao Cao smiled and said: "Ang'er's intention is very good, and the omen of this jade is also good, but to become a disciple, you need some expensive gifts. This small piece of jade is a bit insufficient. Come on, put this jade away.  , send it to my room"

    Before Cao Cao finished speaking, the two brothers Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan had already rushed to the jade stone and protected it with their bodies.  Just listen to the two of them saying in unison: "Cao Mengde, you want to do this again? No way!"

    Cao Cao was a little embarrassed, but Xiahou Dun said loudly: "When you were a child, every time you saw good things, you would find a way to belittle them, saying that you had better ones for us. In the end, every time you took the good things to your room.  They didn¡¯t even let us take a second look! We suffered so much when we were young, but now that we have grown up, we are determined not to be fooled!¡±

    Xia Houyuan even opened his hands and stopped in front of Cao Cao, "This is the apprenticeship gift given to us by Zixiu, we accept it!"

    Cao Cao shook his head and sighed: "Why bother, why bother? It's just a piece of jade! You guys are so impatient, it really hurts the relationship between us. Forget it, I'll give it to you! How can I, Cao Mengde, be a stingy person?  ?! Hey, what do you two look like? You really deserve a beating!"

    Cao Ang looked at the three of them with a smile and coughed several times.

    Hearing his cough, the three of Cao Cao finally woke up. They were no longer children now. The three of them were also elders.

    Cao Cao shook his head slightly and took two steps back; Xia Houyuan also put away his hands, but took a step forward.  Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiahou Dun covered the wooden box and stuffed it into his arms!

    Before Cao Cao could speak, Xiahou Dun said loudly: "Zixiu, since we accept you as our disciple, we have to see your true ability. Come on, let's go to the martial arts field."

    With that said, Xiahou Dun strode out, and Xiahou Yuan quickly pulled Cao Ang to follow him.  Cao Cao, who was left alone, sighed and followed with his head lowered.

    The four of them quickly arrived at the martial arts arena. Cao Ang saluted the three of them, stood on the martial arts arena, moved his hands and feet a little, and then started boxing.

    Cao Ang's boxing technique, learned from Lao Zhao, is a simple routine that can be learned by all the soldiers in the army.  This kung fu looks very inconspicuous, but when played it is a bit ugly, even a bit ugly!  But every move has been refined over time, and every move has no unnecessary movements. This is what Han soldiers rely on to gallop on the battlefield and drive away the Xiongnu.

    Cao Ang knew in his heart that the years to come would never be peaceful, and he would inevitably have to go on an expedition with his father.  Instead of being clumsy with bows and horses, as described in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", although he saved his father, he died in Wancheng in frustration. What is the meaning of such a time-travel?  I might as well put in more effort now, at least I would have the power to protect myself!

    Although the moves are very simple and crude, Cao Ang still chose this boxing method and fought with all his strength.  When he was raiding Black Wind Village a few days ago, Cao Ang also killed a thief with his own hands. Now when he started to punch, he couldn't help but feel a trace of murderous intent!

    Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan became more and more satisfied as they watched. Cao Cao also proudly stroked his beard.  However, none of the three people stopped, wanting to see Cao Ang's endurance and intention.Willpower.

    Cao Ang is still a child after all. By the time he finished punching twice, he was already sweating and his face was a little pale.  After all, he is still young and his strength is somewhat lacking.  But since he didn't stop, Cao Ang gritted his teeth and continued to punch.

    Three times, four times, five times

    The sweat on Cao Ang's face continued to sprinkle on the ground. His steaming body seemed to have been in the dog days of summer, and he could not feel the slightest bit of cold in winter.  His breathing became faster and faster, like a bellows being pulled, and his body slowly reached its limit.  At this time, Cao Ang suddenly remembered the method of adjusting the breath of Wu Qinxi, and couldn't help but use it, and his breath gradually became stable.

    Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan looked at each other and whispered to Cao Cao: "Mengde, it's so hard for you to hide it from us! With such an excellent method of regulating the breath, what kind of teacher does he need to study?! Why, you don't know it either? It seems like  This Zixiu has another adventure! This kid is quite blessed!"
