Long Xiang shook his head and reminded Chen Ying: "Since the Chen family has a good relationship with Zhang Liao, it is possible to take a waterway from Dongcheng to Hefei. Just find a big ship to wade in the water, and Yuanlong will not suffer from the bumps."

"If it weren't for the general's reminder, I almost forgot about this. Thank you very much!" Chen Ying bowed and bowed.

Chen Ying rushed back to Dongcheng with a quick horse, and in less than ten days a northern ship was docked at Hefei Wharf.

Long Xiang was born in a humble background, even though Han Yin had been to Xia Pi on an envoy, he had no chance to get to know Chen Deng.

After just a few years, Long Xiang started from scratch by himself and dealt with various forces in Huainan, reaching the same height as Chen Deng.

In Hefei, we gathered together to greet each other, Long Xiang and Chen Deng looked at each other for a long time.

The real Chen Deng is similar to what Long Xiang thinks.

He also has a tall and thin appearance, high cheekbones, deep eyes, and sparse beards have been carefully trimmed, probably due to the torture of illness, and his sallow face looks a little haggard.

As the saying goes, Xiangru is born in his heart, and Longxiong is in his early twenties, showing confidence in every move. At this time, he is a small prince who is in power and has an enviable second bridge.

All kinds of factors add up to make the dragon-embroider look shining brightly.

Chen Deng is exactly forty years old this year. He seemed to see the light on Long Xiang and also saw his shadow from a few years ago.

At that time, he helped Cao Cao destroy Lu Bu and was full of wisdom and plans, and he was truly full of energy.

Will such a person have no ambitions?

Chen Deng didn't believe it.

Longxiang used to live only in the Chen family's information. Taking advantage of the opportunity to recuperate and stay in Hefei, Chen Deng planned to have an in-depth understanding of this young man who was similar to him.

After being sent to Huatuo Medical Center for consultation, the Chen brothers were settled in the inn and confirmed the treatment period from half a month to one month. Huatuo would go to the inn for follow-up visits every day, and adjust the medication in time according to the follow-up visits to ensure that Chen Deng recovers as quickly as possible.

On the night when he arrived in Hefei, Chen Deng called Chen Ying to the edge of the bed before resting, and instructed seriously: "Second brother, Long Xiang is very not simple. His achievements in just a few years are shocking. If I could not do it from his background, I plan to understand it carefully for my brother. As the saying goes, I will have my teacher when I walk."

Chen Ying looked curious: "How to understand?"

"Of course, you should read more, ask more, and think more."

Chen Deng finished explaining his sparse beard, and immediately expressed his plan: "I am better in a few days, and I will go to the door to have a face-to-face conversation under the guise of thanks. You can take advantage of the daily time to get medicine, and then wander around the city to understand the situation, focusing on inquiries about Longxiong. A person's success is not accidental. You can see the clues."

"Brother, this matter is probably very difficult." Chen Ying looked puzzled.

Chen Deng asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Hefei is different from other cities. You are happy when you see the people in the city. That's because they have an identity number and can handle inspections by patrol officers and soldiers at any time. However, outsiders do not have this item, so the flow is very restricted."

Chen Ying narrated with a bitter look and showed up his experience like a statement, thinking that he was almost sent to Xincheng for work.

Even the famous scholar Ni Heng worked for half a year. As the second son of the Chen family in Xuzhou, Chen Ying could not accept working with the Qianshou.

Chen Deng squinted his eyes and murmured to himself: "This is the advantage. Hefei has indeed hidden a lot of good things. Since the second brother is still scared, you can use your eyes to observe your mouth. We are at least guests from Hefei now. I believe Longxiang will give the Chen family a little bit of shame."

"Okay." Chen Ying nodded.

After Hua Tuo's conditioning for a few days, Chen Deng's face improved significantly, so he planned to visit Longxiong.

Chen Deng was also the prefect of a county and thought it was not appropriate to come to the door with gifts, so he wrote a letter of worship first and asked the post officials to pass on the news according to the rules in the officialdom.

When Long Xiang agrees to go, both sides will have their own preparations so that it will not appear so abrupt.

It was midsummer in late June, and the entire Huainan was taken care of by the sun.

Occasional showers do not relieve the heat, but will increase the heat on the surface.

The two pregnant women in the back house, the eldest sister Qiao Wei, were already pregnant at this time, while Xiao Qiao was no different from ordinary people due to the short time, but both sisters lost appetite due to the hot weather.

Chen asked someone to prepare plum pulp (sour plum soup) to cool down, but Qiao Wan felt it was too sour and reluctant to drink it. Only Qiao Wei could drink it. Long Xiang took advantage of this time to "develop new dishes".

Longxiang lived alone in his previous life until he was nearly thirty years old. He often used short videos to learn cooking when he was suspended from work and resting. He couldn't say how outstanding the cooking skills were, but he had many tricks. However, he was limited at this time, the ingredients were insufficient, and Erqiao was also full of food.

After receiving the greeting, Long Xiong put down his rolling pin and said goodbye to Erqiao and went out.

Long Xiang wanted to make friends with Chen Deng, so he didn't plan to let the "patient" come. He brought a small basket of courgettes (cucumbers) and a pot of rice wine, and went straight to the inn in the afternoon.

It is also a raw food, cucumbers are much healthier than raw fish sashimi. In order to find a partner for cucumbers, Longxiong also made a special egg.

But the peeled eggs are hair products and are not suitable for Chen Deng to eat at this time. Otherwise, just mix them and it will be another dish to serve.

Hearing that Long Xiang came to the inn in person, Chen Deng, who was waiting for the letter, was unexpected.

He was dressed casually in the room and tidied up his clothes for a while before going out to welcome guests.

The windows in the room were also stuffy. Long Xiang led Chen Deng to the outdoor corridor and sat down. He asked someone to cut the cucumbers he brought, so the two of them drank the wine.

"I asked Mr. Hua yesterday, and he said that with Yuanlong's recovery, he should be able to recover in ten days. It would be okay to use a small amount of rice wine."

"The guest follows the host's will, and even if he can't drink, I will sacrifice my life to accompany him."

"Haha, Yuan Long is really a person with temperament."

Longxiang used wine to draw up the topic and told Chen Deng about the old things in Xuzhou, which soon aroused the other party's empathy.

After some greetings, Chen Deng sighed. He suddenly stood up and bowed, saying, "Chen Deng can save his life, it is up to Yunqi to take Mr. Hua to Hefei. If he was still stranded in Jiangdong, I would be dead now."

"Don't say that Yuanlong, human life will be determined by heaven. Even if Mr. Hua does not come to Hefei, you will definitely be safe."

Although Long Xiang was kind to Chen Deng, he agreed with Chen Deng’s point of view in his heart, believing that Chen Deng and Ni Heng were both influenced by themselves.

If you have not traveled through time and changed history, Chen Deng should have died of illness in the past few years. He likes to eat raw fish and does not deworm regularly. Who will die early if you don’t die early?

Long Xiang’s understanding of Chen Deng mainly comes from the comments from the TV series Cao Cao: “Chen Yuanlong is still in the storm of waves.”

The performance in the early stage was outstanding, but disappeared inexplicably in the later stage.

There is only one explanation for early death.

Seeing that Long Xiang was serious, Chen Deng was frightened and refuted after hearing this.

In fact, it is Long Xiang’s ability to develop in the workplace. No matter whether it is true or false, it seems very sincere.

"Whether it is destiny or man-made, my thanks must not be missing. My younger brother once asked for money and food, but unfortunately he was rejected by Yun Qi. Is Hefei really not short of it?"

"Hehe, the many princes in the world are Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. How can anyone not lack money and food? It's just that I want to make friends with Yuan Long, but I don't want to negotiate a deal."
