Chapter 515 Come on, my good nephew, this is your great grandfather, this is also your great grandfather (four thousand)

"Master's nephew!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Cao Ang's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly felt a headache.

Looking around Chang'an, who else but the Prince of Chenliu would call him nephew?

He raised his head helplessly, and what came into his sight was Liu Xie who was walking hurriedly towards him.

"Uncle Master, why did you call me? If I remember correctly, the important thing that the Grand Master told you and me should be to study the classics carefully."

"Read classics? What the hell!" Liu Xie curled his lips, as if he was disgusted. He patted Cao Ang on the shoulder and said, "My good nephew, you and I are ambitious people. How can we waste our time on useless things? Take this opportunity and realize our great cause!"

Cao Ang's mouth twitched, but he still followed Liu Xie's words and asked, "Great cause. What kind of great cause are you going to do, Uncle Master? Are you going to help people find the lost calf, or catch thieves?"

“How can these things be considered great undertakings?”

"Oh? I hope you can explain it in detail."

There were obviously not many people in the palace at the moment, and even Lu Zhi, who had a serious face, was not here. Liu Xie still looked around habitually, as if he was afraid of any threat.

To be honest, Liu Xie's appearance really made Cao Ang curious.

Liu Xie leaned close to Cao Ang's ear and whispered, "Nephew, didn't you notice that Master Lu was in a hurry today? Didn't you notice that the guards looked serious today?"

"That's true." After Liu Xie said this, Cao Ang thought about it carefully and it was true. He did have this feeling and it seemed that something big was going to happen.

"Uncle Master, what do you want to do?"

"I thought we should sneak out of the palace"

"Sneaking out of the palace? Uncle Master, aren't you afraid of being spanked by Master Lu?"

"What are you talking about! What are you talking about!" Liu Xie's face suddenly changed, and his tone became particularly excited, "I am Liu Li, a man, how could I be afraid of being spanked?!"

"."

Cao Ang glanced at Liu Xie's hand covering his buttocks, his eyes became subtle, and even his tone became subtle, "Uncle Master, I remember your name doesn't seem to be Li."

"Ahem, don't worry about the details." Liu Xie was embarrassed, coughed a few times and hurriedly changed the subject, "Nephew, Master Lu said before that some people will arrive in Chang'an in the near future, and one of them is a teacher named Zheng. Master Lu alone has made you and me complain bitterly, you don't want another one, right? If not now, when will you come?!"

"This" has to be said, Liu Xie's words really touched Cao Ang's heart.

When he was at home, he had received instruction from famous scholars. Although his academic performance was not very good, at least he had no problem writing poems and essays, and he had no objection to studying classics.

But since I came to Chang'an, for some reason, I really haven't had much interest in studying classics.

If there really were another Lu Zhi.
Even Cao Ang had some doubts in his heart. It was not that Lu Zhi was a bad teacher, but that Lu Zhi was too strict.

Whether it was studying or practicing martial arts, Liu Xie was constrained by high standards and high requirements.

For Liu Xie, practicing martial arts was not a big deal, but studying was really difficult.

Every time at this time, Liu Xie would go to the Queen Mother to cry and complain, and then come to him with a strong look on his face.

This made him think of his younger brother. Seeing Liu Xie in pain, he also felt a little uncomfortable, so he was more indulgent towards Liu Xie.

For example, in this case, Cao Ang, who had thought about it for a long time, finally nodded and agreed. "In this case, how should I explain it to Master Zhang?"

"Hehe!" Seeing Cao Ang agreed, Liu Xie was immediately delighted. He patted his chest and said confidently: "Don't worry, nephew, Master Zhang has been sent away by me!"

"Is this true?"

"Trueer than gold!"

Cao Ang was skeptical about Liu Xie's assurance. The so-called Zhang Shi was Zhang Kai, and Cao Ang was deeply impressed by his power.

However, seeing Liu Xie's firm look, Cao Ang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Haha, if that's the case, nephew, let's go!"

Liu Xie and Cao Ang slipped out of the palace with ease, but what they didn't realize was that they were being followed as soon as they left the palace.

Looking at Liu Xie and Cao Ang tiptoeing and keeping an eye on their backs from time to time.

Zhang Kai, who was hiding in the dark, twitched his mouth. This was using the method he taught her to sneak out of the palace!

Should he praise Liu Xie or ask Lu Zhi to scold Liu Xie?
Zhang Kai felt mixed emotions for a moment. He was happy that Liu Xie could put his knowledge into practice, but he was frustrated that Liu Xie's excuse was too outrageous, saying that his relatives would arrive in Chang'an soon. Wasn't this a joke? Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Liu Xie's purpose was to get rid of him.

As for Cao Ang, he could only say that Cao Ang was influenced by Liu Xie.

Seeing that Liu Xie and Cao Ang were about to leave, Zhang Kai did not hesitate at all and hurried to the side of the imperial guards who were secretly protecting Liu Xie, and said, "Please tell Lord Lu that the Prince of Chenliu has escaped from the palace."

"Mr. Zhang, please be at ease. I will tell Master Lu the truth." The imperial guards were very kind to Zhang Kai. After all, Liu Xie and Cao Ang's assassination skills became more and more powerful through Zhang Kai's teaching, and even their anti-reconnaissance capabilities became more and more powerful.

This made the imperial order to secretly protect Liu Xie even more difficult to execute. If Liu Xie found out that there was a group of people following him, wouldn't the King of Chenliu use him to show off his power?
Therefore, the emperor made a prompt decision and asked them to learn from Zhang Kai.

This prevented Liu Xie and Cao Ang from discovering them, so these imperial guards all respected Zhang Kai very much.

"Junior apprentice brother, see what I said was right! No one, no one can discover you and me!" Liu Xie was very proud.

Cao Ang smiled helplessly, "Master uncle is right."

But the next moment Cao Ang discovered that Liu Xie's expression had become solemn.

He followed Liu Xie's gaze and looked to the side, and saw soldiers posting a notice in front of them.

Looking around again, the atmosphere was no longer as relaxed as before. Even the people standing in the teahouse and rice shop were whispering.

"Nephew, come with me to see what's going on."

"it is good."

With their agility, Cao Ang and Liu Xie successfully squeezed to the front of the crowd.

The officials sent by the court were repeating the notice word for word. Cao Ang and Liu Xie's faces suddenly changed. The notice talked about the great victories of Jizhou and Qingzhou, but the topic suddenly changed and it actually started to say that General Wei was going to raise an army to fight the bandits.

Cao Ang had no time to worry about whether to fight the enemy or not. The most important thing at the moment was Liu Xie!
not good!

Cao Ang wanted to cover Liu Xie's mouth.

Unfortunately, he was still a step too slow. Liu Xie was very angry, his brows knitted into a ball, and he shouted: "Yuan Shu is such a scoundrel! As a husband, if you can't kill this beast with your own hands, what kind of husband are you! Nephew, why don't you join the army and kill Yuan Shu!"

Liu Xie's words were like a bolt from the blue to everyone, and they came from the mouth of a teenager who had not even reached adulthood.

Everyone looked at each other with a trace of shame on their faces. They were actually not as good as a teenager!
But soon, this trace of shame turned into deep indignation. Someone shouted, "If it weren't for General Wei, I'm afraid we would still be living under the shadow of Dong the thief! You all have to think clearly. Compared to Dong the thief, Yuan Gonglu is even worse! Do you still want to see what happens in Luoyang?!"

"Well said, well said! I want to join the army!"

"I want to join the army too!"

The people burst into unprecedented enthusiasm, which made the official who was reading the report look extremely embarrassed, which was far beyond his imagination.

Damn it! As far as he knew, the court did not incite the people, it was just a pretext for the attack.

how so!
The official suddenly remembered Liu Xie who had just shouted. It must be this person!

Unfortunately, when the officials wanted to search for Liu Xie, Liu Xie was dragged out by Cao Ang.

Liu Xie at the top was very puzzled, "Nephew, I was talking fine, why did you drag me out?!"

"Uncle Master, there is no recruitment notice, you are being too impulsive."

Liu Xie said confidently: "But I am just helping the Imperial Guard General to relieve his worries!"

"Share my worries." Cao Ang wanted to say, "You don't want to share my worries at all. I think you want to go to war."

However, before Cao Ang could finish his words, a figure approaching from a distance made his eyelids jump violently, and the smile on his face instantly froze.

Cao Ang quickly winked at Liu Xie, but no matter how he winked, Liu Xie did not sense the danger coming, and asked in surprise: "Huh? Why don't you speak? Why do you keep blinking at me? Could it be that you were swallowed by the wind and sand?"

It’s over.

With a "slap", Cao Ang slapped himself in the face.

"Nephew, you."

"Who just said that they wanted to share General Wei's worries?"

"!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Liu Xie's eyes widened in disbelief, and the expression on his face froze instantly. At the same time, he turned stiffly and looked at Lu Zhi who was leading the imperial guards. He was sweating profusely, but he did not choose to sit and wait for death. Instead, he rubbed his hands and smiled while his mind was constantly colliding, looking for a way to remedy the situation. "Yes, Master Lu, those words just now were not said by me, but by the great hero Liu Li. You should look for the great hero Liu Li, not me."

"Do you think I believe it?" Lu Zhi sneered.

Liu Xie shuddered and immediately bowed his head to admit his mistake, "Master Lu, I was wrong!"

Lu Zhi didn't pay much attention to Liu Xie. He glared at Cao Ang and scolded him, "You are much older than Prince Chenliu. Why don't you think highly of Prince Chenliu and let him do whatever he wants?"

"Master Lu, it's my fault." Cao Ang lowered his head.

Liu Xie suddenly became anxious, "Master Lu, this matter has nothing to do with my nephew. It's all my fault, my fault alone!"

"I know you are the mastermind." Lu Zhi said nothing more.

This movement naturally attracted a lot of attention. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Zhi took a wooden trumpet from the imperial guards. He put the trumpet in front of everyone and said, "Don't worry, General Guan can defeat ten thousand with a hundred cavalrymen, and General Wei is even better than General Guan. Even if Yuan Gonglu came out in full force, he would not be a match for General Wei! If they want to recruit soldiers, the court will definitely post a notice!"

When everyone saw that Lu Zhi was guarded by the imperial guards, they naturally believed what Lu Zhi said.

Then everyone thought, yes, General Guan can defeat ten thousand with a hundred cavalry, so can General Wei also defeat ten thousand with a hundred cavalry? Why are we so anxious?

After seeing that Lu Zhi had calmed everyone down with just a few words, both Cao Ang and Liu Xie thought that Lu Zhi was going to deal with them, but they never expected that Lu Zhi would say, "I have a distinguished guest to receive. Follow me."

Distinguished guest?

Cao Ang and Liu Xie looked at each other, could it be Master Zheng?

However, the development of events is often unexpected. Cao Ang and Liu Xie followed Lu Zhi all the way to the outside of the city in a carriage.

As soon as they got off the car, Liu Xie and Cao Ang were dazzled by the dense crowd.

Cao Ang was even more shocked. Most of the civil and military officials in the court had come. Such a grand ceremony must be of great significance to Master Zheng.

When he wanted to ask Liu Xie Master Zheng's full name, Liu Xie shouted, "Uncle Emperor", and ran in a certain direction impatiently.

Imperial uncle?

The one who could be called the Emperor's uncle by the King of Chenliu.
General Wei?!

General Wei is here too?!
Cao Ang looked in the direction of Liu Xie, and it was indeed Liu Bei who appeared in his sight.

You know, Liu Bei should have been preparing for the expedition, so why did he take time out to welcome the so-called Master Zheng?
Is it
Cao Ang's head was buzzing, and two words emerged in his mind: Zheng Xuan.

Just thinking about it, Cao Ang couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Zheng Xuan was a master who combined both the modern and ancient classics!

Such a powerful person actually became their teacher???
Cao Ang clenched his hands into fists unconsciously.

"Master's nephew!"

After hearing this, Cao Ang came back to his senses. He looked carefully and saw Liu Xie walking towards him with excitement on his face.

"? What's the good news, uncle?"

"What a great joy! Master Zheng didn't come first, but my uncles came first!"

"uncle?"

Cao Ang's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that something bad was about to happen.

"Master, just follow me and you will know!"

Liu Xie pulled Cao Ang to Liu Bei's side, and Cao Ang then discovered that Liu Bei was chatting with a thin man with a young man standing next to him.

He looked young, about the same age as Liu Xie, but he had a strong build and a handsome appearance.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Liu Bei came here not only for Zheng Xuan, but also for the young man beside him.

Just when Cao Ang was wondering about the young man's identity, Liu Xie's voice happened to ring in his ear, "My nephew, the young man you saw was named Zhuge Liang, with the courtesy name Kongming and the nickname Mr. Wolong. He is an extraordinary man with unpredictable abilities! His wisdom is even inferior to mine! And Mr. Wolong is my uncle, so according to seniority, you should call him grandpa."

"Hmm? That's not right, uncle! Zhuge Liang is not even old enough to be an adult, right? Where did he get his name from?" Cao Ang's face suddenly changed as he spoke, and he quickly stopped talking, "Wait a minute! What did you say? He is my great grandfather!"

"Yes, Master's uncle, it's okay to call him Grandfather, right?"

Liu Xie jumped up and patted Cao Ang on the shoulder. "Nephew, I know you are very happy, but don't be happy yet. Mr. Wolong is your great grandfather, Marquis Yi is your great grandfather, Mr. Fengchu is also your great grandfather, and General Shenwei Tian is also your great grandfather, General Shenwei Di is also your great grandfather, and General Huang Xiao is also your great grandfather. Come, uncle will introduce you to them."

Cao Ang's head was buzzing with shock from Liu Xie's words. He finally understood why he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

It turns out that his generation has been trampled into the ground!

Besides, why do these great fathers who appeared out of nowhere have so many weird names? !

It would be fine if there were Mr. Wolong and Mr. Fengchu, even the mighty General of Heaven and the mighty General of Earth could be tolerated, so how come there is also a Marquis of Yi?

After a long silence, Cao Ang said faintly, "Could they all be my great-grandfathers?"

".No."

After hearing Liu Xie's answer, Cao Ang felt a little better. However, Liu Xie's next words made Cao Ang fall into silence again. "Brother Tan Zhi should be my elder brother. You can call him uncle-master."

Cao Ang: "."
