"Hmph, Adversary! Dare to come to the capital to spread wild, today our family will let you have no return. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" After saying that, he got up and attacked.

"Cao Shaoqin, I am a person from the rivers and lakes, and I have nothing to do with your palace. Why are you so entangled today? "On the roof, a plain Dao Gu was fighting with seven or eight people. Seeing Cao Shaoqin flying up and attacking, he raised his hand and sent out a few silver needle hidden weapons. Carrying the true qi and sweeping with the sword, a few moves of wide opening and closing attack on the besiegers.

Cao Shaoqin was blocked by the silver needle and couldn't get close for a while. The besiegers were not mediocre hands, but eight of the twenty-four leaders of the East Factory. In the face of Daogu's fierce offensive, he could only swing his sword to protect himself, and the siege showed flaws. Dao Gu took the opportunity to rush out of the encirclement and jump onto the roof, and flew towards the south of the city by taking advantage of the night.

"Chase!" Cao Shaoqin once again used the method of getting up and led the head of the Zhongdong Factory to chase after him. How can a few people not be as good as Daogu, and they can only barely keep up by relying on their familiarity with the terrain of the capital.

Several people chased for about a stick of incense, and Dao Gu saw that she couldn't get rid of each other, so she turned over and jumped into a large gate garden.

Everyone in the East Factory has practiced well on weekdays and has long cooperated with tacit understanding. The eight-palm class is divided into four strands. Three strands jumped to the high point to monitor and guard, and one went straight into the compound with Cao Shaoqin.

"I don't know what Grandpa Cao is doing when he visits late at night." A noise was heard in the room, and a man stepped out.

"It turned out to be Wu Gongzi's mansion, and our family has pursued the bandits here, I hope you will forgive me." Cao Shaoqin saw the person coming back and said.

"I can let the governor of Dongchang personally pursue it, I don't think it's an ordinary bandit, I don't know where I can get Wu, I must do my best."

"No, take your leave." The four words of the governor of Dongchang on the other side pierced Cao Shaoqin's heart. The grand order of the close ministers, but the starry night chasing thieves who have fallen is no different from ordinary head hunting. However, now the emperor and his ministers share the world, and he does not attach importance to Dongchang, which is engaged in spy work. Coupled with the continuous blows of the courtier group, the East Factory has long been declining. Guo Huachun, the former governor of Dongchang, was caught by the ministers because of his ruthless behavior, and was finally killed by the cane outside the noon gate.

"Since my father-in-law is here, it's better to talk for a while and drink a few cups of tea."

Originally, he received a report that the first generation of demons Li Qiuhan arrived in Beijing. Cao Shaoqin is ready to take the opportunity to take down this female devil. Unexpectedly, Li Qiuhan's martial arts were far beyond thinking about it, and he personally led the eight leaders to besiege and was unable to surrender. After a delay in admission, it is estimated that she has been released. Lonely in my heart, it is better to see what he wants to say.

The two of them sat in the inner hall just drinking tea, "Gonggong Cao is deeply trusted by the saint, and the prime minister is Dongchang." It should be for the sake of the saint, and the matter of arresting bandits and thieves will be handled by the arrest department, so why bother the father-in-law. ”

"Our family has its own measure, and there is no need for a son." Cao Shaoqin continued to drink tea unhurriedly.

"Today, there are Mongols in the north, the rebellion of the Gudan evil Buddha supported by the Rakshasa in the west, the disaster in the northwest has been unsettled for many years, and the Japanese invade the coast in the south. All of them are the troubles of the saint's heart, and the father-in-law, as a person close to the saint, needs to start from the above items if he wants to share the worries of the saint. ”

"Our family doesn't know, but our identity is limited and we can't lead troops to fight." Speaking of Cao Shaoqin's soft heart, there seemed to be a trace of sadness in the action of drinking tea.

"To share the worries of the saints, it is not necessarily only to lead the troops to fight. The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. The Holy Lord had long intended to pacify the northwest and make an expedition to Mongolia. However, the treasury is empty and unable to raise materials for the expedition, if Gonggong Cao can solve this matter, the saint will definitely be happy. “

Cao Shaoqin felt that the other party was not chatting politely, put down the teacup and said, "I don't know what the son has to say." ”

"The two Huai salt affairs have accumulated disadvantages for a long time, and the two Huai salt inspectors have died in office, so that they have been vacant until now. If the father-in-law can sort out the salt administration, not only can he straighten out the officialdom, but the stolen money can also be used to offset the military expenses, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

"It's not easy to sort out the salt politics, Ling Tang is the Taifu, and Liang Taibao, who was born in Lianghuai, has always been at odds, Hou Gongzi wants to borrow a knife to kill people, right?"

"You and I are both loyal people, and we just want to share the worries of the saint and contribute to the court. Father-in-law must not listen to rumors. It is naturally not easy to clean up the salt administration, but you and I have joined forces, and it is not impossible to give it a try. ”

"The collusion of courtiers and servants has been taboo for kings since ancient times. But if there is really evidence, our family will definitely enforce the law impartially and report it to the Holy One. Wu Gongzi, farewell! After saying that, he got up and bowed and left.

Wu Fengao returned the salute and watched Cao Shaoqin leave, "Shitai can come out." ”

The door curtain flashed, and a figure appeared in the room, dressed in a plain white robe, wearing a gray and white lotus crown, holding a sword, and not applying powder.

The plain dress can't hide the natural style. After landing on the ground, his brows furrowed slightly, but he was looked at by Wu Fengao.

"Shitai is injured?"

"It's not about you!" Li Qiuhan was injured by Jiangnan hero Lu Yuanhong and was pursued by a group of martial arts people. Originally, he was going to enter Beijing to temporarily recuperate from his injuries, but he was ambushed by Dongchang before he entered the city. After several days of fierce fighting, there was no time to breathe from internal injuries, and he only fed his hunger with water, and he was already exhausted. But inner self-esteem does not allow the slightest weakness.

"It's getting late, it's inconvenient to walk at night, if Mrs. Shi doesn't mind, you can stay here for one night, although the courtyard is not luxurious, but it is still clean. I will take my leave in advance. After speaking, without waiting for Li Qiuhan's answer, he bowed and exited the door.

Li Qiuhan has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has a quirky personality, but it is the first time he has seen such a free and easy person. I thought that I had nowhere to go anyway, so I rested here for a night to recuperate from internal injuries. Anyway, he is strong in martial arts, and he is not afraid that the other party will have a plot.

Li Qiuhan inspected the room to make sure that there was no hidden weapon, and observed the possible direction of attack, before sitting cross-legged on the bed and exercising pranayama to regulate internal injuries.

About half an hour later, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door, and he walked to the door and left after clicking lightly on the door.

Li Qiuhan waited for the visitor to go away before getting up and opening the door. A small table was found outside the door, with a food box and a small locket of rosewood on the table. There were a few stir-fried vegetarian dishes in the food box, and there were nine brown pills in the red sandalwood box, and Li Qiuhan knew that it was Shaolin Healing Treasure Qianyuan Pulse Protection Pill when he heard it.

After eating a few bites of food, Li Qiuhan picked up a Qianyuan Pulse Protection Pill and continued to meditate and heal his injuries, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn. Li Qiuhan has a deep internal position, and he is supplemented by the Qianyuan Pulse Protection Pill, and most of the internal injuries recovered from pranayama overnight. When I opened the door, I found that the courtyard was empty, and when I walked out of the courtyard, I found that it was just a small courtyard of the mansion. Occasionally, people passing by also bowed their heads and walked quickly, ignoring Li Qiuhan. When I walked to the front yard, I saw a lot of traffic, and the carriages were loading and unloading goods. Not far away, a young man in a fancy costume was talking to the people around him, it was Wu Fengao, seeing that Li Qiuhan just nodded slightly and saluted, and continued to talk with the people around him.

Li Qiuhan doesn't love money, but he is also well-informed. The goods loaded and unloaded on the carriages were of great value. The nursing homes are also full of martial arts, especially the old man in Mai next to Wu Fengao, although his martial arts cannot reach Li Qiuhan, but he is also a first-class player on the rivers and lakes.

Wu Fengao and his entourage walked into the main hall of the outer courtyard, and Li Qiuhan also strolled over.
