The afternoon sun is very warm.

Cao Nan held Lu Lan's hand, sat in the garden, and talked softly.

In the open space in the distance, Cao Peng was joining hands with Deng Fan. As he made up his mind to go to Guangling, he began to reduce Deng Fan's time in Cao's office. In comparison, Deng Fan's skills were not outstanding.

Color, compared to Wangmai, is always one level behind.

Deng Fan has only been practicing martial arts for a short time, and his foundation is not as solid as Wang Mai's.

Although his physical fitness is similar to that of Wang Mai, Jinjing has never been able to catch up with Wang Mai.

In the future, he will stay in Haixi to help Deng Ji. There is no shortage of masters in Haixi. For example, Zhou Cang and Pan Zhang are rare masters, and Feng Chao is even more outstanding in archery, although his skill is not as good as Zhou Cang and Pan Zhang.

and others, but still slightly higher than Deng Fan.

Deng Fan and Cao Peng were sworn brothers.

Cao Peng also hoped that Deng Fan could stand alone in the future.

But his skills...

There are only so many things in Cao's office. If they are not necessary, ordinary Cao officials can handle them, and Deng Fan does not need to come forward. As for things like accounts, Deng Ji has sent scribes to help. Deng Fan needs it.

What we do is to ensure the smooth operation of Beiji Market.

This was something he and Wangmai had done very well before.

But in the future, he cannot always be Cao Peng. As Cao Peng and others continue to move forward, Deng Fan is bound to keep up.

Otherwise, Xiao Bayi will remove him sooner or later. Even if Cao Peng and others don't speak, Deng Fan will definitely feel ashamed.

Therefore, Cao Peng had no choice but to teach Deng Fan the martial arts skills he had learned as much as possible.

When Cao Peng went to Guangling in the future, Deng Fan's homework would not be left behind. Of course, Zhou Cang and Pan Zhang would supervise him.

Qi'er stood by with great interest, watching Cao Peng and Deng Fan exchange hands.

Deng Fan used Bajiquan, while Cao Peng used Taichi. Although Cao Peng's movements were slow and seemed weak, he restrained Deng Fan's Bajiquan tightly, leaving him with nowhere to put his effort. Qi'er

Having practiced martial arts with Lu Bu since she was a child, her eyesight was naturally different from that of ordinary people. She could see that Cao Peng's slow, soft fists and feet contained strange power, and she couldn't help but become curious.

Lu Lan couldn't help but ask: "Sister Anan, what kind of fists and kicks does Ah Fu practice?"

"He said it was Tai Chi, but I really didn't understand it."

"Then who did he learn boxing from?"

"This... it sounds strange. Ah Fu met an alchemist when he was a child and studied with that alchemist for a year. But I remember that at that time he only learned to read and did not learn anything else. His body was always in poor condition.

... Later, I don’t know why, but he suddenly became powerful! My mother said that Ah Fu had learned the magic of immortality. Presumably, all these things he had came from the alchemist?

Haha, I really can’t explain this kind of thing clearly.

I've asked him before, but his answers every time were vague and I couldn't quite understand him. Then I simply stopped asking... No matter what he studied, he was still my brother. Ah Fu is still Ah Fu, it doesn't matter.

Maybe after learning magic, you can become a cat or a dog."

Lu Lan chuckled!

Looking at Lu Lan who was smiling innocently, Cao Nan was also quite moved.

How could such a good daughter have such an unhappy father?

Having been in Haixi for several days, Cao Nan finally found out about Lu Bu. In his heart, he didn't have much resentment towards Lu Bu. He just felt that Lu Bu's character was not very good. At the same time, because of Lu Bu's relationship,

Deng Ji was not very enthusiastic about Lu Lan either.

Even Chen Qun, who usually likes to visit the county government office, does not come often because of Lu Lan's relationship.

Yesterday, Chen Qun returned to Xiapi.

The new year is approaching and he wants to go back to accompany his father.

But before leaving, Chen Qun made an appointment with Cao Peng. He would come over fifteen days later, and then he and Cao Peng would go to Guangling to find Chen Deng.

Cao Peng did not try to persuade him to stay. After all, reuniting with his family was also an important matter.

I think Chen Qun travels here and there all day long, so he may not stay at home for too long at the end of the year. It is normal for him to spend time with his father when the New Year is over.

So, after Cao Peng sent Chen Qun away, he began to train Deng Fan intensively.

Little Deng Ai is very sleepy!

But after waking up, his eyes would widen and he would curiously watch his uncle and uncle practicing martial arts.

At the same time, he would sit on the tiger skin mat and make babbling gestures, as if he was imitating Cao Peng's movements.

Lu Lan could only be seen giggling, and her eyes turned into a pair of crescent moons, which was really beautiful.

"Afu, what do you think of Miss Lu?"

After dinner, Deng Ji had not come back yet.

Cao Nan took Cao Peng's hand and asked with a smile.

"Miss Lu?" Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, then frowned and pondered for a moment, "That's pretty good."

"Yeah?"

Cao Nan suddenly said: "Ah Fu, you are not young anymore, it is time to prepare for the marriage."

"Marriage?"

"Yes, before I came here this time, my mother discussed with me that I wanted to arrange a marriage for you."

Cao Peng was stunned when he heard this!

I'm only fourteen. Even though I'm going to be fifteen soon, I won't get married so early...

"Sister, this is a bit too early."

"Where is it early? In my opinion, it's not early at all.

The conditions of our family are now better, and your parents are very happy to see your future. Their expectation now is that you get married early so that they can have grandchildren. You also know that our family is young, and you are the only one in our family.

With this bloodline, if you get married, your parents will have something to worry about. Of course, my mother is not saying that you will get married right away. If there is a suitable one, you can make an appointment first."

Under the light, Cao Nan held Cao Peng's hand and patiently guided him.

"What does this have to do with Miss Lu?"

"I think Ms. Lu is quite nice...it's her father..."

"Sister, don't worry!"

Cao Peng waved his hand quickly.

Unexpectedly, my elder sister actually had her thoughts on Lu Lan. Who was Lu Lan? Her father was Lu Bu! Not to mention, Cao Peng didn't have that kind of thoughts. Even if he had, he was still afraid that Lu Bu would cause trouble for him.

Lu Bu... Cao Peng can't say he has a bad opinion of this person, nor can he say he has a good impression of him. Cao Peng praised his temperament very much, but his character? It's not a matter of being a slave with the three surnames of Lu Bu, but something like that.

It's because Lu Bu was too utilitarian and realistic. As soon as he started fighting Yuan Shu, he got married to Yuan Shu. This guy...

He's a nice guy, but he wants to do some shit.

All his martial arts skills were in vain!

Cao Peng scratched his head, "Sister, please don't talk nonsense. Miss Lu has already been engaged..."

"That's a pity!" Cao Nan sighed, "That girl feels good to me. But I heard that she helped you?"

"Well, it does happen."

"A real man wants to repay his kindness. If you can help her in the future, please help her."

"Uh...I took note of it."

In fact, Cao Peng would remember it without Cao Nan telling him.

He not only owed Lu Lan's favor, but also owed Diao Chan's favor.

In the future, Baimenlou... what will happen to Lu Lan? The novel only mentions that Lu Bu was killed in Baimenlou, but does not mention his family. What will be the fate of Lu Lan? Cao Peng really doesn't know. But roughly

, he can guess a clue... I'm afraid it won't be too good.

How can I help them?

To save Lu Bu, or...

Cao Peng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Lu Bu? What kind of character is that!

The most serious master in the world, which turn should he save?

Even if he has this ability, how can he convince Lu Bu? Moreover, Lu Bu's opponent is Cao Peng! Cao Peng really doesn't have that ability.

Can you just watch Lu Lan and Diao Chan suffer?

"Afu!"

"ah?"

Cao Peng thought about his origin and did not hear Cao Nan's call.
