Chapter 93 Apostasy

Author: Add coriander to crucian carp soup

Zhong Ping came out of the camp, already having some concerns in his mind. It happened that the soldiers in front of Sui Gu's tent led Le Jin towards this place. Zhong Ping hesitated for a moment, but chose to go forward.

"Is Taishi Ling okay?" Le Jin received a report from the soldiers, and Zhong Ping seemed to have a conflict with Sui Gu, so he hurried back to the camp. Now he saw that Zhong Ping was safe and sound, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ping is just asking Captain Sui for advice on archery. General, don't worry."

Zhongping continued to use "archery" as a cover, and he was sure that Le Jin would not delve into it in depth.

As expected, Le Jin didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and said, "If Tai Shiling is interested in archery, I can give you some suggestions, which may be useful."

Zhong Pingxin said, "I don't really want to learn archery. Although his martial arts value is not high, he has mastered the six arts of a gentleman."

With his 5.0 visual acuity, even if he is not as good as Le Jin, he is still better than Sui Gu in this shot. The reason why he specifically mentions archery skills is mainly because he wants to use this as a guide to make jokes from Sui Gu...

"I'm sure you won't bother the general in the future." Zhong Ping accepted Le Jin's kindness and walked side by side with him.

It's September, and it's time for school hunting.

Many shirtless soldiers can be seen in the school grounds, drawing bows and shooting arrows.

"Whoosh——"

"I hit it! I hit it! You can do it!"

Tanehira was interrupted from his thoughts by the sudden burst of cheers. He followed the sound and saw an arrow with a trembling tail stuck straight into the center of the target.

"What a good archery skill."

Le Jin smiled when he heard the words: "Thanks to Taishi Ling's insight, otherwise such a good seedling would have fallen outside. If you don't know, that's it. When you get older and can't hold a bow, you will know that you have such a talent.

It’s called heartbreaking.”

"Huzi relies on his own talent and hard work, why should he attribute it to Ping?"

Zhongping shook his head slightly and stared at the fiery scene in the school grounds for a long time. After a rough look, it seemed to be in order.

However, since Suigu had found out what the other party was thinking, Zhongping could not completely let go of the direct descendants of the Black Mountain Army who were once affiliated with Suigu.

Seeing that Zhong Ping spoke plainly and modestly, Le Jin felt good about him and mentioned the military arrangements.

"Previously, General Xiahou sent troops to search and suppress the bandits. A few days ago, Xun Sima also mobilized a thousand people from the army to build ponds."

"Including the city defense garrison, and all the miscellaneous things are calculated. If Taishi hadn't ordered Luoshui to win, today we would really be stuck on one side and the other on the other side."

Zhong Ping raised his eyebrows slightly: "Sima Xiu built the pond, I'm afraid it will take a lot of manpower."

"I'm not sure, but I heard that Sima is really busy these days, and sometimes he still works in the government office after the curfew."

"...It's Ping's fault. The Potang Canal Society matter was originally proposed by Ping, but he only drafted a plan and never assisted in its implementation."

Zhongping's identity is indeed a bit embarrassing. As the Taishi Ling, his job is only to compile historical books and astronomical calendars. Field matters like this are not within his jurisdiction.

What's more, after all, he just lived in Dongjun and never held any local official position. He could only offer advice to Cao Cao as a nephew, not as an official.

Otherwise, it would be inappropriate for a court official to serve under his colleagues, both in terms of etiquette and discipline. However, if he was criticized for nothing, it might also bring trouble to Cao Cao.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao wanted to bring Zhong Ping into his account. After all, in Cao Cao's view, Zhong Ping's talents were only the result of Taishi Ling's real talent.

If Zhong Ping serves as his advisor, he can do everything he can to improve water conservancy and defend against enemy invaders. When the time comes, he will repair his government internally, control his troops externally, and purge his subordinates. Then the world will be clear and the world will be stable.

He could also be a minister who promoted the Han Dynasty.

Zhong Ping thought that Xun Yu not only had to deal with official duties, but also had to endure the torture of Xi Zhicai, and the more he thought about it, the more guilty he became.

"General, if you have some free time, could you follow Ping to the fields to take a look?"

"Taishi Ling invites me, so I'm indispensable." When Le Jin said about allocating troops to help build the canal, he also thought that the school hunting was about to take place, and the soldiers should be rotated. He first stopped and ordered the soldiers on the school field to stop shooting targets.

.

It is estimated that nearly a thousand people were ordered, and Hu Zi was among them.

Zhongping thought that he had not seen Cao Ang for a few days, and he was afraid that the eldest son and his uncles had gone hunting somewhere.

Fortunately, Cao Cao has been concentrating on dealing with the Yellow Turban issue recently and has not put too much control over Cao Ang. Otherwise, he would have to take exams every day at dawn and dusk. Without Zhongping's help, Cao Ang would probably be punished to the point of running away with his head in his arms again.

Zhong Ping's thoughts were scattered here, and he was a little worried. He should not have helped Cao Ang cope with Cao Cao's school examination - Zhong Ping kept in mind the fate of Yang Xiu in history.

He did not feel that he could barely guess what Cao Cao was thinking based on the experience of later generations.

It's just that he has some teacher-student friendship with Cao Ang.

The two thought they were just dealing with classics. Even if they could agree with Cao Cao's views, after all, it did not involve politics and was nothing.

No matter how suspicious Cao Cao was, it was absolutely impossible to guard against Zhong Ping for such a thing.

But since Cao Ang personally taught Cao Ang what it means to sustain the people's hearts that day, the other party seemed to be interested in Meng's students. He insisted on pestering Zhongping to explain several "King Hui of Liang" and "Teng Wengong" thoroughly, and then followed up to learn "Guanzi".

Taking into account Cao Ang's identity, Zhong Ping naturally did not want to go into detail. He just read a few sentences and picked up Zheng Xuan's theoretical annotations and talked about it for a few sentences.

However, Cao Ang studied scriptures with Zhongping for a long time. Naturally, Zhongping could not always pay attention to his words. Sometimes he went too far and occasionally missed a few sentences, which inevitably showed some clues.

Cao Ang was just at the age when he was rebelling against Buddhism, so he was shocked by these words. He secretly regarded him as a model and respected Zhongping even more.

I am not afraid of others, but I am afraid that Cao Cao will know about this, so when I think of Cao Ang, I feel a lot of guilt and worry.

"You're such an unreasonable woman! But if I eat a piece of cake from you, it's not like I didn't pay for it! Why are you so persistent?"

"Shangguan, Shangguan is sensible. When the old woman saw him taking the cake, she clearly didn't give him any money. She knew all about it..."

Hearing the commotion beside Cangpo in the distance, Zhong Ping and Yue Jin looked at each other and saw the word "doubt" in each other's eyes.

"He is a soldier, so he can steal your pie? Don't make trouble!"

Zhongping heard the voice coming from the village leader, so he thought about it and pulled Huzi over to ask him to come forward and see what was going on.

Huzi is clever and quick with his hands and feet, and he can quickly get things clear from the mouths of the onlookers.

It turned out that a soldier building a pond was buying cakes from an old woman under a tree. Because there were so many people buying cakes, the soldier took the cakes among the crowd and turned around to leave, but was held back by the old woman.

The old woman said that the person who bought the cake next to her told her that the soldier had not paid. She checked the money and found that the money for one cake was indeed missing.

The soldier seemed extremely impatient and insisted that he had paid the money but the old woman was making trouble unreasonably. His words were quite arrogant and he wanted to take action several times.

The conflict between the two attracted the attention of the district chief, who was cooperating in organizing the canal society. The district chief did not listen to the old woman's excuse and directly concluded that the soldiers were justified.

After listening to Zhongping, before he could say anything, the soldier got carried away with the commander's decision. He spat at the old woman and kicked her.

The old woman was kicked so hard that she and the cake cart fell to the ground, and the steaming cakes rolled down to the muddy ground.

Zhong Ping and Le Jin both had dark faces.
