After the Cao and Liu families came out of the Li Mansion, an older Keqing elder of the Liu family sent a part of the Liu family to bring back the corpses of the people in the clan, and the rest of the people returned to the Cao family's compound with Cao Qingqian, the ancestor of the Cao family.

Cao Jin'an, who was originally in Jingshuzhai, listened to the news that everyone in the Cao family had returned, and hurriedly walked to the main hall of the Cao family, when he first entered the main hall of the Cao family, he was greeted by a group of elders of the Cao family with a gray face, as well as a one-armed old man sitting on the main seat, although Cao Qingqian looked very embarrassed now, his clothes were stained with blood and dust, and his right shoulder was cut off by Qi Qi, still showing a bright red wound, which was very terrifying.

Cao Jinan looked around the hall for several weeks, but he never saw his father, and he was a little worried about Cao Zhiran's safety, so he hurriedly knelt down at Cao Qingqian, and asked urgently, "Grandpa...... The Ancestor and the Elder have returned together, why don't they see my father alone? Where is my father?"

Cao Qingqian, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at Cao Jinan who was kneeling on the ground with an indifferent expression, his expression was a little indifferent, as if he thought of Cao Zhiran, who was seriously injured and unconscious, his expression eased slightly, he pondered for a long time, and said lightly: "Your father saw that my monster was injured, and he was in a hurry to make a move, but he didn't think that he was seriously injured by that monster and passed out. ”

Cao Qingqian paused, pointed his left hand at the people of the Liu family sitting on the left hand side of the main hall, and said to Cao Jinan: "Not only did you break up, but Liu Yuheng, the head of the Liu family, also annoyed the monster by a little accident, and finally ended up being killed by one blow." ”

When Cao Jin'an, who was kneeling, heard Cao Qingqian's words, he didn't feel a pang in his heart, although the cultivation of the head of the Liu family was not as good as the ancestor of the Cao family, he could be regarded as one of the best figures in the entire Jade Vein City, and he was only stronger than his father, but what made Cao Jinan care most was not the amazing cultivation of the monster who killed the head of the Liu family in one blow, but Cao Qingqian actually called the head of the Liu family by his name.

Cao Jin knew with peace of mind that he was afraid that the monster had reached some agreement with the Cao family, otherwise something would happen to the Liu family, so that he would not be able to compete with the Cao family from now on, otherwise, with the treacherous character of the ancestor of the Cao family, it would be impossible to call the head of the Liu family by his name in front of the elders of the Liu family.

Sure enough, Cao Qingqian continued: "Liu Yuheng annoyed it before, but he wiped out everyone in the Liu family in an instant, and the monster cultivated to the sky, sealed the Jade Vein City, and asked the two of us to arrest Qiu An for him within three days, otherwise, ...... Otherwise, they will slaughter all the people in the city. ”

Cao Jinan was a little apprehensive when he heard this, it was not easy to find three people who were determined to avoid in the huge Jade Vein City in three days. After being silent for a long time, he sighed lightly: "What is the ancestor going to do?"

Cao Qingqian was silent for a while, and then raised the teacup in his hand and drank it all, his eyes swept back and forth on the faces of everyone under the seat, and the explosion of cultivation caused the tables and chairs in the main hall to tremble uncontrollably, as if the air was hot, and everyone was nervous and did not dare to speak, for fear of offending the rickety old man in front of him who was at the peak of the martial arts of Jade Vein City.

After a while, Cao Qingqian said softly: "What else, of course it is done according to the meaning of the monster, but it is ......" Cao Qingqian turned his words around, and there seemed to be a cold glint in his eyes as he spoke, but with a slight pinch of his left hand, the dark red tea cup fired from the official kiln instantly turned into powder, and he said coldly: "It's just that I also want to leave a way out for the two major families in Jade Vein City."

When everyone heard this, their expressions were complicated, Cao Qingqian said it easily, this monster sealed the entire Jade Vein City, and even a bird could not be released, not to mention a living person, for a while, everyone whispered, not knowing what they were discussing.

"Quiet!" Cao Qingqian, who was in the main seat, shouted angrily, and the originally noisy main hall instantly quieted down, Cao Qingqian looked around, looked at the people in front of him sharply, and said softly: "Indeed, this black fog is very secretive, connecting the city wall to completely close the Jade Vein City, but that monster forgot one thing." ”

Cao Jinan had already guessed the meaning of the ancestor of the Cao family in front of him at this time, if the black fog pressed the city in a normal way, whether it was the city gate or the wall, it would be impossible to get out, unless, go underground.

The elder of the Liu family, who was a little older on the side, finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart, first exchanged glances with the people around him, and then stood up, bowed to Cao Qingqian, who was sitting on the main seat, and said lightly: "The situation is urgent, please don't play dumb riddles with us." ”

When Cao Jinan heard this, he just gently pinched a small handful of goat's white beard on his chin with his left hand, and whispered to the elder of the Liu family with confidence: "Hahaha, Liu Zhen is old, and he is still as impatient as a young man, since we can't walk on the ground, let's leave from the jade vein mine!"

Cao Qingqian paused and looked at everyone who was still a little puzzled, then smiled and continued: "With the old man's meaning, the Cao and Liu families pretended to search for those few people in the city, and some people behind their backs worked together to dig up the three vein mines of the Liu family, and then evacuate the two women and children from the city in batches and the objects that can be taken away from the family, even if they are discovered by Na Ji, at least the descendants of the other two vein mines can be preserved." ”

The old man who was called Liu Zhen heard the words of the rickety old man on the main seat, and suddenly was stunned for a moment, and after a while, his originally gloomy expression instantly became brighter, and he turned around to see the Cao and Liu families, who were also the same as his own expressions, and both sides sitting on the left and right sides of the main hall swept away the gloom before.

Liu Zhen seemed to be a little excited, his voice was a little trembling but mixed with joy, as if he was the rest of his life, he first bowed deeply to Cao Qingqian, and said respectfully: "Thank you Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao is worthy of being the first person in the martial arts of my Jade Vein City, if Yumai City can get through this difficult time in front of us, then our Liu family will have to rely on Mr. Cao to take care of him in the future." ”

The elders behind Liu Zhen looked at the scene in front of them, first stunned, and then hurriedly followed Liu Zhen's appearance, got up and hugged their fists, and said to Cao Qingqian, who was on the main seat: "Please also ask Mr. Cao to take care of it!"

Cao Jin'an, who was kneeling in the main hall, listened to the compliments one after another, and only felt a little disgusting in his heart, these old foxes who have become good are all people who see the wind and rudder, if Liu Yuheng is still alive, even if the Cao family wants to escape through the Liu family's vein mine, I am afraid that at least the Liu family will be taken off by the lion's mouth.

Cao Qingqian on the main seat looked at the elders of the Liu family bowing their heads and clasping their fists one by one, did not speak but nodded slightly and looked around, when his eyes fell on Cao Jinan, he quietly glanced at Cao Jinan, although Cao Jinan was squishy on the surface, but in fact he was extremely smart, if it weren't for the Cao Qingqian in front of him who favored his brother, Cao Jinan would not be a gentleman all day long in order to protect himself.

Cao Qingqian seemed to be afraid that Cao Jinan, who was dull in his eyes, didn't find it, and when his eyes returned to the Liu family, he glanced at Cao Jin'an again, Cao Jin'an of course caught this look, and then immediately pretended to be suddenly enlightened, nodded lightly at Cao Qingqian, cleared his throat, attracted everyone's attention, and then said loudly: "Ancestor, Jin'an thinks it's inappropriate!"

Cao Jin'an's words, the eyes of the entire main hall were all focused on Cao Jin'an, and everyone looked at it together, and the elder of the Cao family looked at Cao Jinan who looked lazy on weekdays, and exchanged some puzzled heads.

"What nonsense is this Cao Jin'an?"

"That's it, the black fog only sealed Chengshang, and the vein mine under the city was the only chance to escape, the ancestor's plan can be said to be seamless, is this guy infected with some madness?"

"Openly opposing the ancestor in such a large public, this mind is really not comparable to the second young master at all, no wonder the ancestor gave the only place in the Tianji Gate in the clan to the second young master that day. ”

"Alas, it would be nice if the second young master was at home, unlike this waste, it will only get in the way!"

......

Not only the elders of the Cao family, but even the people of the Liu family beside them were dumbfounded, what kind of person would openly collide with the person in charge of the family in the presence of outsiders, looking at Cao Jinan who was kneeling on the ground, he was a little speechless for a while.

On the other hand, Cao Qingqian, who was on the throne, did not seem to have reduced the smile on his face, but he stretched out his left hand, and with a light wave, the originally noisy Cao family suddenly shut up, and looked at Cao Jinan gloating one by one, as if waiting for the ancestor's punishment, Cao Qingqian looked at Cao Jinan in front of him, smiled slightly and asked with a warm expression: "Jin'an, get up and speak, what do you think is wrong?"

When Cao Jinan heard this, he first thanked him and then stood up generously, stretched out his hand to pat the dust on his robe, did not shy away from outsiders at all, put his hands behind his back, pretended to be a master, and said to Cao Qingqian with a fake smile: "Back to the ancestor, no one in Jade Vein City knows that several vein mines in this city are the property of the Liu family, if my Cao family wants to escape, the Liu family may not give it?" If I am Elder Liu Zhen, I will definitely take this opportunity to extort a sum of money!"

After Cao Jinan finished speaking, he didn't smile at Liu Zhen on the other side, and said softly: "Elder Liu, I'm right. ”

As soon as Cao Jin'an's words fell, everyone in the Liu family instantly had a dull expression, and thought to themselves, Isn't this a fool? The old and slick Liu Zhen was the first to react, and smiled at Cao Qingqian on the main seat: "Please also rest assured that Mr. Cao, it is related to the safety of the entire Jade Vein City, how could my Liu family do such a shameless thing because of his own selfish interests, and he must advance and retreat together with the Cao family!"
