Under the escort of the realm of the four swordsmen, Cao Yuan, who successfully saved his son, and Cao Yan, who had survived the catastrophe, walked slowly in the snow, walking on the way back to Cao's mansion, and the light of the candle on the side of the street seemed a little dim.

The person who replaced the jailer has been killed, and the three Meng Yan, who knew the inside story, also committed suicide, and Lin Mo will definitely not say it, now as long as he insists that he killed his own son with his own hands, anyone will have no way to take him Cao Yuan, his son can be saved.

The father and son, who should have been happy at this moment, had heavy faces on their faces, and Cao Yan was especially gloomy.

"Dad, do you really plan to follow Lin Mo and serve the puppet emperor who doesn't have any real power?" Cao Yan, who was wearing a jailer's uniform, didn't know why his father was so humble and gave that annoying Lin Mo so much money.

Cao Yan and Lin Mo have met five times, the first time was on the street, because of the hundred miles of the city, Xi Feng shot to kill one of his guards of the sword master realm, and the second time was to apologize in the Lin Mansion.

The third time was at He Yun'er's exit from the pavilion in Zuishenglou, that time Cao Yan had the intention of defeating Jian Ying and taking down He Yun'er, a beauty, but he was disturbed by Lin Mo again, and he fled in embarrassment.

The fourth time was on the street, because the couple and the child, and the time they saw the graceful woman in purple, Cao Yan originally wanted to snatch it back, but it was disturbed by Lin Mo again, which made Cao Yan hate!

The fifth time was tonight, I didn't expect that the former enemy, his father, would still obey him, and his face was flattering, although it was Lin Mo who saved himself by surprise, but Cao Yan didn't intend to appreciate it.

Seeing his son so angry, Cao Yuan suddenly laughed: "Serve that puppet emperor, are you stupid to be your father?

Thinking of the current situation, he united with Lin Mo to Yin Meng Yan, and he had already separated from King Rong, King Rong would not reuse himself anymore, King Rong would definitely not be able to go there again, but it was impossible for him to look at Lin Mo and turn his allegiance to a puppet emperor.

Because Cao Yuan still has a way to go.

"Dad, what do you mean?" Cao Yan heard the meaning of his father's words, and his face immediately became happy.

Cao Yuan's roots in the household department are very deep, and King Rong can't do it if he wants to empty and replace him for a while, and now as long as Cao Yuan goes to the Empress Dowager Xuanshu, he can use the Empress Dowager Xuanshu's people in the household department to help her re-manage the household department.

Cao Yuan nodded with a smile on his face: "Yes, let's go to serve the Queen Mother, now the household in charge of the world's money and grain is still in the hands of your father and me, and the Queen Mother will definitely reuse your father... You...... Who are you?"

As he spoke, Cao Yuan suddenly noticed two figures on the corner of the street, but because it was night, the two of them were standing at a distance, and they couldn't see the person's face clearly.

Although he didn't know who it was, Cao Yuan could feel that no, he was sure that the other party must be a bad comer, because the long sword in the hand of one of the two people was already unsheathed, and the killing intent was awe-inspiring.

"Master Cao, we just met, you don't remember the old man. The man who stood up in front of him spoke, old and contented, and his tone was extremely cold.

The two kept approaching, and after a few seconds, under the glow of the candles on the street, Cao Yuan recognized them, his slightly chubby body trembled suddenly, and he said tremblingly: "Lord Jane, Zhao Guard, what are you going to do?"

The person who came was Jian Wencheng, the doctor of the Ministry of War, and the guard of Xuanyuan's Great Sword Master realm, Zhao E.

Looking at these two people, Cao Yuan's four sword master realm guards immediately became vigilant, and they drew their long swords and wanted to protect Cao Yuan and Cao Yan behind them, but when they felt Zhao E's expanded ten-foot martial domain, they hesitated and didn't dare to move again.

"What are you doing?" Jian Wencheng's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold tone: "Do you think the old man didn't expect that you, Lord Cao, would come to such a secret plan? The old man is not stupid." Therefore, the old man borrowed Zhao Escort from Master Xuan, and waited for your arrival on the way back to Caofu. ”

Listening to Jian Wencheng's words, Cao Yuan's slightly chubby body trembled again, what realm Zhao E was, he knew that his four sword master realm guards couldn't stop him at all, and they didn't dare to step forward to stop him.

Looking at Zhao E and Jian Wencheng who were approaching, Cao Yan hugged his father's arm with a pale face, and said in fear: "Dad, you must save me, Yan'er doesn't want to die yet." ”

Looking at his crying son, Cao Yuan, who had no choice, had no choice but to plead again and again: "Lord Jane, we have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, and I know that Yan'er killed Ling Gongzi, so you can spare his life!"

Cao Yuan wanted to escape, but Gengen didn't dare to escape, Zhao E was a great cultivator in the realm of the Great Sword Master, and within a range of 100 meters, he could use the long sword and take anyone's life.

"As long as you can save my son's life, you can do whatever you want me, I can give you a lot of money, and you can also personally go to your son to keep filial piety for 100 days, Lord Jane, you can spare my son, I beg you." Seeing that Jian Wencheng was still unmoved, Cao Yuan was about to kneel.

Jian Wencheng supported Cao Yuan's kneeling figure, and said angrily: "Lord Cao, your son is dead, and my son is not dead?" Don't worry, today's old man only kills your son, not your life. ”

As he spoke, Jian Wencheng's cold eyes looked straight at the trembling Cao Yan: "Young Master Cao, don't worry that Guardian Zhao's sword is fast, you won't feel any pain, go on the road with peace of mind!"

"Ahh

Running out more than ten meters, Jian Wencheng, whose face was cold, beckoned, Zhao E looked at Cao Yan who was fleeing, the long sword in his hand tightened, his eyes gathered, and he threw the long sword, the long sword broke through the air, and it was about to pierce Cao Yan's body in a blink of an eye.

"Zhao Huwei don't, I am willing to be loyal to the Queen Mother, please spare my son's life, Cao Mou ......" Cao Yuan howled heartbreakingly, but it was too late.

Before Cao Yuan's words could be finished, the long sword that broke through the air had pierced Cao Yan's body directly, nailing it to the door panel on the side of the street, and there was no life at all.

"Yan'er—"

When his son was killed in front of him, Cao Yuanyuan's eyes widened and he let out a terrible and desperate wail, and the sound pierced the silent night, startling a night bat hanging upside down on the eaves.

"Lord Cao, brothers, something is wrong over there, Lord Cao!" another voice suddenly sounded in the dark night, followed by the sound of armor rubbing against each other.

The hand was aimed at the long sword that nailed Cao Yan to the door panel, and the long sword flew into his hand, and Cao Yan, who had turned into a corpse, fell to the ground, rolled around a few times before stopping.

"Yan'er!" Cao Yuan turned his mind, got up and ran towards his son, his face was full of pain, and when he saw the bloody hole in his son's body, he fell into complete despair, and his eyes immediately lost their brightness.

After returning the sword to the sheath, Zhao E glanced at Cao Yuan, who was holding his son and crying bitterly, and then looked at Jian Wencheng: "Lord Jian, the people from the security camp are here, we are going to kill them?"

Jian Wencheng stroked his beard and shook his head: "There is no need to fight with the people in the security camp, I am afraid it will bring a lot of trouble to the Queen Mother, since Cao Yan has been killed, let's go." ”

After speaking, Jian Wencheng took Zhao E and left.

As soon as the figures of the two disappeared, Ji Qian came with more than 100 soldiers from the security battalion.

Ji Qian pressed the sword on his waist, walked to Cao Yuan's side, and saw Cao Yan, who was no longer alive in his arms, and sighed faintly: "Lord Cao, Lin Shangqing suddenly thought that Jian Wencheng might have left a back hand, so he sent Zai to hurry over, I'm sorry, I'm still late." ”

Hearing Ji Qian's words, Cao Yuan, who was holding Cao Yan, suddenly broke out, and let out a terrible and painful voice: "Xuanyuan Xuanshu, I, Cao Yuan, will not take revenge on this, and I will not be ...... others."

Under the protection of Xi Feng and Qiu Yun, Lin Mo walked to the door of the backyard of the Lin Mansion, and was just about to push open the door and enter, when two figures suddenly appeared here, it was Jian Wencheng and Zhao E.

"Killed? Not seen flawed?"

"No, how could the little woman make a mistake, Sect Master Lin doesn't believe in the little woman?" Jian Wencheng nodded, and then Qi Qi and Zhao E tore off a mask from their faces, it was two women, it was Han Qianyue and Xiao Ying.

"How can it, Sect Master Han's disguise technique is at the end of the transformation realm. Lin Mo looked at Han Qianyue and saw that his waist was very thick, completely missing his previous graceful and slenderness: "Sect Master Han, what are you doing here?"

looked at Xiao Hotaru's waist on the side, it was also very thick, and there was no posture that the woman should have, and I couldn't help but be interested in the mystery of Han Qianyue's disguise technique.

"That's the secret!" Han Qianyue smiled slightly, and then immediately changed the topic and asked, "Sect Master Lin, your eldest lady's disguise technique is not bad, why did you find me?

At noon today, when Lin Mo went to the kitchen of the Recreation Post House to discuss with her about killing Cao Yan, Han Qianyue couldn't help but be taken aback, although he promised to give himself enough benefits, but the two of them were opponents!

Isn't he worried about leaking his secrets?

Lin Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "Sect Master Han is a smart person, he won't tell this secret. ”

Saying that, Lin Mo grinned again: "Besides, it's Sect Master Han who killed people, what does it matter to me Lin Mo? Who can testify that you conspired with me to kill Cao Yan?"

"...... you" Han Qianyue was blocked for a while and had nothing to say, and suddenly smiled again: "Sect Master Lin is really calculating, it's no wonder that he has to let his own people go, it turns out that he wants to pull the little woman into the water." ”

Han Qianyue's smile was extremely beautiful, although she was still showing Lin Mo in a false face at the moment, but this smile was from the heart, as if she had taken off all her defenses, it was very real.

Looking at Qiao Xiaoyanran, Lin Mo couldn't help but be infected by it, and showed a knowing smile: "Look at what Sect Master Han said, if you don't give you enough benefits, you will agree." ”

Lin Mo didn't believe that Han Qianyue, who was the head of the first sect of the Moon Sect, didn't see what she was thinking, and the reason why she still chose to join forces with herself was just because the benefits she gave were enough to tempt her.

Don't look at the beauty in front of you talking and laughing with herself at the moment, chatting happily, but if someone gives her enough benefits and conditions at this moment, Lin Mo believes in her, and she will immediately take action against herself, causing her to die, without the slightest hesitation.

But the others present don't think so, like Hotaru.

Xiao Hotaru watched her sect master and Lin Mo chatting so happily, as if she were a confidant, her face was still calm, but she was so angry with Lin Mo who was smiling at the moment in her heart, and she couldn't wait to eat Lin Mo alive on the spot.

Looking at his own sect master again, he was smiling so happily, and he was unprecedentedly happy, Xiao Hotaru really couldn't understand, the two were obviously opponents, why did the sect master laugh at him like that, and promised to help him kill people?

What's more, he also left him to eat at the Kang Post House, his own sect master is the queen of Chu immediately, how can he be so close to his opponent, isn't he afraid that the lord of Chu will be angry?

Xiao Hotaru was angry in her heart, and Xi Feng and Qiu Yun were happy in their hearts, especially Qiu Yun.

Qiu Yun's heart was full of admiration, the other party was the sect master of the Moon Sect, an opponent, but the sect master of his own family insisted on turning the general into a friend, and he also had the intention of accepting the beautiful female sect master as a wife.

At the gate of the backyard of the Lin Mansion, after chatting with Han Qianyue for a while, the two said goodbye, Lin Mo pushed the door into the backyard, and Han Qianyue took Xiaoying back to the Kang Post House.

As soon as he entered the backyard, the smile on Lin Mo's face immediately disappeared, and turned serious, and immediately ordered: "Xifeng and Qiu Yun immediately order, and the interval between the patrols of the guards in the mansion will be changed." ”

After speaking, Lin Mo walked towards the main house in the inner courtyard.

Looking at the departing Lin Mo, Qiu Yun's face was full of puzzlement, and he looked at Xifeng: "Xifeng, why did the sect master suddenly change the interval between the patrols of the guards in the mansion? Didn't it all change every three days before? It's only been two days!"

Xi Feng shook his head and smiled faintly: "Qiu Yun, have you forgotten who is standing outside the door just now? That's the master of the first sect of the dignified Moon Sect, a great cultivator above the realm of the Great Sword Master!"

The people of the Great Sword Master realm and above have extremely sensitive ears, and they can hear the breathing and slight footsteps of the people inside through a wall.

The time that Han Qianyue stood outside the back door is not long, but it is enough to find out the interval between the patrols of the guards in the Lin Mansion, which will definitely be a big security vulnerability.

"I understand!" After Xi Feng mentioned this, Qiu Yun suddenly woke up, and turned around to order Xun Chao's guards to change the inspection interval, but doubts arose in his heart.

Looking sideways at Xi Feng, Qiu Yun said suspiciously: "Xi Feng, just now that Han Sect Master and our Sect Master chatted so happily, they must have taken a fancy to our Sect Master, would they come to harm the Sect Master?"

Xi Feng smiled helplessly: "Xi Feng, it seems that you have really become stupid with your sister Yun'er, chatting happily is just a superficial effort, but in fact, they are all counting each other." ”

"I understand, it seems that in the past few days, I have really slacked off!" Qiu Yun nodded thoughtfully, and there was a faint sense of shame and self-reproach in his eyes.

On the way back to the Recreation Inn.

Han Qianyue restrained her smile and walked slowly, thinking about the benefits that Lin Mo promised to her, she was a little entangled and worried, but the corner of her eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiao Hotaru's face was a little depressed, and her brows were deeply locked.

"Hotaru-chan, what's wrong?

Han Qianyue's question made Xiao Hotaru come back to her senses, first hesitated, and then gritted her teeth and said: "Sect Master, Xiao Hotaru really can't hold it back, Xiao Hotaru just wants to ask you, you want to cooperate with Lin Mo, he is the sect master of the Mo Sect." ”

Mo Zong and Yue Zong have fought a lot of times, and there have been casualties to each other, but in general, Moon Sect has been planted in the hands of Mo Sect more times, and there are also many dead Moon Sect Dark Butterfly and Moon Sect Moon Guard, it can be said that the two sects have a blood feud.

But now, the sect masters of the two families have cooperated, and there are still people talking and laughing, and what is even more incredible is that Han Qianyue also let Lin Mo into the kitchen, eating together and washing dishes together like a small couple.

Han Qianyue sighed and explained: "Silly girl, of course I know that he is the sect master of the Mo Sect, and many of our sisters died at the hands of her Mo Sect people, I remember this clearly, but when the other party has the interests we want, the two of us can also be friends and cooperate." ”

The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, when the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, friends can become enemies, and when the Tao is the same, enemies can sometimes cooperate, or even become friends.

"Xiao Hotaru understands!" Xiao Hotaru understood Han Qianyue's words, but then said with some concern: "Sect Master, after you are about to become the king of Chu, Xiao Hotaru thinks that you should stay away from that Lin Mo. ”

"Oh, why is that?" Han Qianyue asked suspiciously, a little unaware of what Hotaru said.

Xiao Ying thought for a moment and said, "Sect Master, maybe you haven't realized it yourself, when you are in front of other people and the Lord of the Chu State, you are as cold as ice, but when you are in front of that Lin Mo, you often laugh, and Xiao Ying can see that it is from the heart, Xiao Ying is really afraid that you will fall into it." ”

"Boom-"

Xiao Ying's words exploded like a bomb in her head, and Han Qianyue's body trembled suddenly, because she also realized at this moment that she did love to laugh in front of Lin Mo, and a few times it was from the heart.

Han Qianyue didn't know why she was like this, but she always felt relaxed in front of Lin Mo, and she didn't have too many worries and calculations in her heart, as if she trusted him very much.

Thinking of this, Han Qianyue couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart: How could this be?

Suddenly, Han Qianyue remembered the words that her master often said to herself when she was a child, "Yue'er, you may know in the future, sometimes your enemies, your opponents may be more trustworthy, and it is often the people around you who harm you." ”

In the past, Han Qianyue didn't understand her master's words, how could opponents and enemies be more trustworthy, but now, she seems to understand a little.

Seeing his own sect master's contemplative and solemn appearance, Xiao Hotaru let out a helpless sigh and said lightly: "Sect Master, the guard patrol interval of the Lin Mansion, Xiao Hotaru has already understood, do you want to send someone to assassinate you?"

Han Qianyue woke up from her memories and shook her head: "No need, after we leave, Lin Mo may have ordered someone to change the interval between inspections, and there is no point in assassinating again." ”

Xiao Hotaru nodded, looked at Han Qianyue, who had already woken up, and asked what she wanted to ask the most: "Sect Master, what did that Lin Mo promise you?"

In the inner room of the main house of the Lin Mansion.

"What, husband, you said that Han Qianyue was sick?" Yan Baiyu was lying in Lin Mo's arms, Li's face was full of surprise, and the flying money worth 50,000 gold leaves was placed next to the pillow.

Halfway through sleep, the man secretly ran away, which made Yan Baiyu quite angry, but when he heard that Lin Mo went out to do business and brought back such a sum as a certificate, Yan Baiyu naturally smiled.

After coming to the imperial capital for so many days, Yan Baiyu now has a spare time, thinking about all the things in the treasury in the mansion and in the Treasure Pavilion, and ordering them to be guarded.

With this flying money, she can be sure that Lin Mo did not take it out of her own house to perfunctory herself.

Lin Mo lay in the warm quilt, hugged his wife and nodded: "Yes, she is sick, cold erosion, it should have been acquired in recent years, and it has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, which has greatly affected her realm and strength." ”

Han Qianyue's realm, Lin Mo couldn't see it accurately, sometimes it was a half-saint realm, sometimes it was a great sword master realm, and sometimes it was stronger than a half-saint, and it was constantly changing.

"The reason why Han Qianyue agreed to help her husband tonight is because her husband promised to help treat cold erosion?" Yan Baiyu wondered, she knew about cold erosion, because she had suffered from it when she broke through to the semi-saint realm before, and now she has been cured by Lin Mo.

Cold erosion is a kind of disease that the practitioner suffers from when he breaks through the realm due to physical fitness or exercises, which is manifested as making the practitioner's realm unstable, the limbs are cold, and every full moon night, the whole body will be extremely cold, like falling into an ice cave.

"Yes!" Lin Mo nodded.

When entering the palace today, Lin Mo hurriedly grabbed Han Qianyue's hand, that is, he noticed the coldness of her hand, and after quickly checking the pulse, he determined that Han Qianyue was suffering from cold erosion.
