Cao Jin'an's face seemed to be a little impatient, and he sneered when he heard Liu Zhen's words: "A good one to advance and retreat together, the three vein mines in the whole city are all monopolized by your Liu family, this is also called advancing and retreating together?"

As soon as Cao Jin'an's words fell, everyone in the Cao family was suddenly stunned, yes, the Liu family has suffered heavy losses now, if the Cao family pretended to search for Qiu An and others in Jade Vein City in an attempt to delay time, what should the Liu family do if they dig through a vein mine first, but do not let the people surnamed Cao enter? Those women and children surnamed Cao have not cultivated at all, if this is the case, then everything the Cao family has done is not to make wedding dresses for others.

Everyone in the Cao family nodded thoughtfully, and looked at Liu Zhen and the others opposite, Liu Zhen never expected that Cao Jin'an, a disciple who seemed to be unlearned and unskilled, would ask such a sharp question, the Cao and Liu families, who were originally amiable, were just a gap by this young man's words, Liu Zhen lowered his head and groaned, and after a while, he first discussed a few words in a low voice with the surrounding elders, and then raised his head and said with a bitter fist.

"The words of the eldest prince Cao are not unreasonable, although I, Liu Zhen, am willing to share the hardships with the Cao family, but it is difficult to ensure that the people in the clan will not have bad intentions and try to blackmail the Cao family, Mr. Cao, what do you think of this?"

Cao Qingqian, who was in the main seat, said softly: "Please speak!"

Liu Zhen listened to Cao Qingqian's short two words, and then looked at the people of the Cao family who looked vigilant on the other side, he was a little unwilling in his heart, he sighed lightly after being silent for a long time, shook his head as if he had made a lot of determination, and said softly with his fists: "Mr. Cao, I, Liu Zhen, am willing to make the decision to divide the two vein mines in my family and transfer them to the Cao family to show my sincerity! Mr. Cao also wants to promise my Liu family that when the vein mine is dug through, I will not be turned away from the people surnamed Liu! What does the old gentleman think?"

Cao Qingqian, who looked indifferent, heard this, his expression instantly became kind, and he quickly stood up and reached out to hold Liu Zhen's right hand and smiled: "That's very good!"

」

Liu Zhen looked at Cao Qingqian, who was hugging the back of his hand with a warm expression, scolded the old fox angrily in his heart, and then said with the same smile: "It's good that Mr. Cao is satisfied, but my Liu family has suffered heavy losses, and there are not many cultivators left in the family, so I have to bother the old man to think more about this search." ”

Cao Qingqian smiled, knowing that the Liu Zhen in front of him was obviously trying to dilute the number of cultivators of the Cao family in the vein mine, and he also secretly scolded the old fox, knowing that the Liu Zhen in front of him could not trust him, but he didn't care in his heart, after all, he couldn't believe Liu Zhen in front of him, although he was sad in his heart, the smile on his face did not decrease but increased, and he said with a smile: "Brother Liu, the Liu family treats each other honestly and gives me the Cao family's big gift, which is what Cao should be." ”

In this way, in the originally tense main hall, as Cao and Liu finalized the matter, a thriving and harmonious scene was restored, Cao Qingqian seemed to think of something, and shouted to Cao Jin'an, who was also standing in the hall: "Jin'an! I said earlier that Brother Liu is the most important friendship, how can the enemy abandon my Cao family now, and how can I see the death and not save the Cao family, you are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and quickly make amends to Elder Liu!"

As soon as the words fell, Cao Jinan said loudly: "Elder Liu has a lot, please don't blame Jin An for losing his words for a while, how offended, Jin An will apologize to the old man!" As he spoke, he gave a deep blow to Liu Zhen beside Cao Qingqian with an expressionless face, and he raised his body in just a moment, and returned to the appearance of the gentleman in the past.

Cao Qingqian seemed to be upset when he saw it, flicked his sleeves, and shouted: "It's okay to look lazy all day long, why is it that you look like this in front of Elder Liu now, go to the ancestral hall and think about it!"

As soon as Cao Qingqian's words fell, Cao Jinan retreated with his fists, and the moment he turned around, a trace of coldness flashed in Cao Jinan's eyes, and his face was as cold as frost and he muttered the names of the elders of the Cao family who had just scolded him, and he would recite them over and over again, as if he wanted to memorize these people in his heart.

Looking at the figure of Cao Jinan leaving, Cao Qingqian gently patted Liu Zhen's shoulder with his left hand, sighed with a false gesture of starry, and whispered to Liu Zhen beside him with an apologetic face: "His father doted on this child too much, and the discipline was not strict to make Brother Liu laugh." ”

Liu Zhen faced the old man in front of him who was standing at the peak of the martial arts of Jade Vein City, and dared to slacken, and hurriedly responded with a smile: "There and there." ”

The two sat down again, and after just a while, Liu Zhen took the excuse of handing over the title deed of the vein mine to Cao Qingqian, got up and led a group of elders of the Liu family to leave, and the huge main hall instantly became empty.

Suddenly, a big man sitting between the Cao family hugged his fist and asked Cao Qingqian, who was sitting in the main seat, "Ancestor, Zhiheng doesn't quite understand, since Liu Yuheng is dead, why don't you swallow the Liu family in one go, and then take all the three vein mines for yourself?"

Cao Qingqian stroked his long hair, tapped Cao Zhiheng in front of him with his left hand, and said with a slight smile: "Zhiheng, Zhiheng, here is the reason why I didn't choose you as the head of the family, although the Liu family looks weak now, but you must know that the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and the Liu family is also a century-old family business, and its heritage is only a lot more than our Cao family, can you be sure that you can eat the Liu family?"

The big man known as Cao Zhiheng, when he heard Cao Qingqian say the word head of the family, he lowered his head, his face became gloomy, but he instantly restrained his emotions, just raised his head for a while, and could no longer see a trace of haze on his face, and chuckled and hugged his fist to Cao Qingqian: "If you go back to the ancestor, you are not sure that you will be able to eat the Liu family." ”

After all, Cao Qingqian is an ancestor of a family of cultivators, how could he not see the gloomy look that Cao Zhiran tried his best to hide, although he noticed it, but he didn't care at all in his heart, this is normal, who cares about a junior whose cultivation is much lower than himself?

Cao Qingqian nodded, still with a smile on his face, and continued: "What's more, even if my Cao family really eats the Liu family and becomes the number one family in this Jade Vein City, but without the Liu family, my Cao family will be pushed down in front of the stage, just like in the Li Mansion before, if Liu Yuheng doesn't put his Liu family in front, then if Ji Ji wants to establish power, he can only take our Cao family." ”

Everyone listened and nodded again and again, one by one, thoughtfully, as Cao Qingqian's words fell, everyone looked like they had an epiphany, and they all spoke out bluntly about the flattery of the ancestor and the like, and Cao Qingqian on the main seat seemed to be very flattered by the people in front of him, and his smile was even greater.

......

Cao Jin'an, who was driven out of the main hall, did not go to the ancestral ancestral hall to think about it, but returned to Jing Shuzhai, the maid guarding the door saw the eldest young master coming back, and was very happy in her heart, walked slowly to Cao Jin'an, bowed slightly and made a blessing, raised her head and laughed softly: "This lady just told Qiushui that she misses the young master, young master, you immediately rushed over, the young master waited here for a while, Qiushui went to report to Madame." ”

Cao Jinan nodded slowly when he heard this, and chuckled at the woman with a warm face: "Trouble Sister Qiushui." ”

Qiushui's cheeks turned red when he heard this, and he waved his hand at Cao Jinan again and again, and couldn't stop saying, "The young master is serious." He didn't dare to look at Cao Jin'an's eyes anymore, turned around and walked quickly to the courtyard.

Cao Jinan didn't wait long outside the hospital, and after a while, he was led into the courtyard by Qiushui, Cao Jinan gently slammed the door, and said softly: "Mother, Jin'an is here." ”

As soon as the words fell, a woman's chuckle came from inside the room, and she seemed to be very happy and scolded: "Why do you still practice such complicated etiquette with me, just come in quickly." ”

Cao Jinan smiled, gently pushed open the door, and what caught his eye was sitting at the desk in the room, wearing a plain white long skirt, a green bamboo hairpin coiled up a black hair, and there were no jewelry, gold and silver and other objects on her body, just a plain and elegant woman who put a black robe on her body, Cao Jin'an still found a few strands of white hair from the black hair, looking at this mother who was imprisoned by the head of the family in Jing Shuzhai, she was very distressed, but her eyes became slightly red in an instant.

The woman saw Cao Jin'an's demeanor and knew what Cao Jin'an was thinking

g, beckoned to Cao Jin'an, who was standing at the door, and said: "You kid, why are you still crying, hurry up, sit next to your mother, and tell your mother about what your father ran out in a hurry just now?"

Cao Jinan listened to his mother's words, his expression became even more nervous, and he walked slowly in front of the woman, but he didn't dare to sit down, his mouth trembled slightly, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know how to speak.

The woman looked at Cao Jin'an's expression, as if she realized what was happening, and hurriedly asked, "Jin'an, tell me quickly, what happened?"

"Come in, come in. Yang Zhilan saw a house that no one lived in, and hurriedly beckoned to Zhang Dahai.

Zhang Dahai's back was seriously injured and unconscious Qiu An, and his strength had already run out, and it was already the strength to carry Qiu An here.

"I'm exhausted...... When will he wake up......" Zhang Dahai put Qiu on the straw mat, and by the way, brought Li Nian and the illegitimate son of the Li family into the room.

It's obviously been uninhabited for a long time, and the surrounding window paper hasn't been changed for a long time, and there are some cobwebs.

"We have to figure out a way now, we can't just go on like this. Yang Zhilan sat on the stool and held her forehead with her hand.

Although I have encountered difficult problems in the past, after all, there are too many people and things involved.

"But what can be done now......" Zhang Dahai was also a little embarrassed.

In this city sealed by black fog, there is nothing that can support, how can it be possible to leave here so easily......

The smell of blood on Qiu An's body was a little strong, Zhang Dahai smelled it, the straw mat had been used for too long, and the damp straw mat was too easy to suck the smell, mixed with the smell of blood on Qiu An's body was really unpleasant.

At this time, a huge spider suddenly fell on Zhang Dahai's head.
