On the morning of the second day, Cao Yi, who had stopped exercising because of an injury, had restarted his daily morning workout after a period of recuperation some time ago, but now because Liu Baiqing was also there, he seemed to have returned to the earliest time.

After nearly two years of Cao Yi's persistence, now he can fight back and forth with Liu Baiqing, who did not use all his strength, which shows that with Cao Yi's current skills, his combat power has far surpassed that of ordinary people, and it should be no problem to fight at least two or three ruffians and hooligans, after all, in addition to normal martial arts, Cao Yi's physical strength and those incredible fighting skills and joint skills, as well as the familiarity of how to attack the enemy and what parts can make him lose his combat ability in an instant, can make Cao Yi easily face four ruffians with no lethal weapons.

If the other party has a weapon, then Cao Yi has not yet reached the realm of easily entering the white blade empty-handed, and no matter how high his martial arts are, he is afraid of the level of kitchen knives. And tomorrow is the time to go to Daming Temple, and now Cao Yi has a kind of ideological consciousness of sharpening his knife in battle, and he is not happy.

I want to use the fight with Liu Baiqing to slightly stimulate the muscle memory of fighting moves and fighting skills, and when the time comes, if there is a real fight tomorrow, he can also use this as a warm-up in advance.

When Cao Yi and Liu Baiqing finished the battle, bathed and changed their clothes and sat down for breakfast, only the little girl Tan Yun was left in the courtyard, because her main task was to follow Cao Yi closely, serve left and right, and naturally wait in the courtyard. The others all had their own arrangements and went out early.

Liu Baiqing also followed Cao Yi closely during this time, after all, for him, his own son is too capable of provoking people, and his ability to make enemies with others is too strong, and the conditions at home are not good, and Cao Yi, who is not strong behind him, never seems to take the initiative to provoke.

The enemies of Cao Yi are basically the children of official eunuchs or rich businessmen, everyone is either very rich or very powerful, it seems that Cao Yi has never argued with those who are too small, even if there are contradictions and disputes with others, they are all strong people......

Even Cao Yi himself sometimes wonders whether it is because he is a troublemaker or because those fools are similar, so he can always meet several fools who are similar in a row.

Cao Yi shook his head and sighed, it was all forced by life, isn't this ...... I'm going to go to one of the fools' houses later.

After breakfast, Cao Yi took Tan Yun and Liu Baiqing to Liu's mansion in a carriage, he wanted to go over and say to Liu Defa, let his people go to Jiangning Wharf to receive the goods in six days, as for when the people on his side will leave Cao Yi doesn't care, just plant to ensure that they appear on time at Jiangning Wharf after six days, a full 70,000 jars of wine, not a small amount, it is indeed necessary to prepare people to pick up the goods in advance.

Their carriage was on the way, and Liu Baiqing suddenly said, "Childe, someone is following us!" ”

"What?" Cao Yi suddenly exclaimed.

"When we got into the carriage at the gate of the Zhizhou Mansion just now, I had already caught a glimpse of a few people not far away who kept looking at us, I wouldn't have paid attention to them, but those people were definitely fierce people who had blood on their hands and had their lives. And when I got into the carriage, I saw through the gap in the curtain that they also got into the carriage, and now they are following us, if it was just a coincidence at the beginning, then we have all turned left and right three or four times, and they are still following behind, it should not be such a coincidence. Liu Baiqing analyzed.

Cao Yi nodded: "If that's the case, then it's really very possible, but it's hard to say that it's just to step on it now, and it's easy to do it tomorrow, but it's also possible that they originally wanted to play this kind of psychological suggestion, which makes us feel that even if they want to do it, they will only do it tomorrow, so they will arrange the protective forces until tomorrow, and they will do it today." ”

"Hehe, I hope they do it today, then they will definitely be engraved for life, it will be a surprise they can't imagine." Liu Baiqing said with a light smile.

Judging from the dialogue between Cao Yi and Liu Baiqing, they have already arranged it in advance, Cao Yi as a descendant who crossed over, such as the Hongmen banquet in the Chu and Han wars, Liu Bei went to Dongwu to marry Sun Shangxiang, and the Water Margin Zhonghuarong and Liu Zhizhai have seen too many deceits, and modern people are a collection of thousands of years of conspiracy and trickery, it can be said that the blue is better than the blue, how to be obscene and dirty, like this one day in advance, Cao Yi can naturally imagine that it has been arranged early.

I'm not afraid of the other party's sudden move, I'm afraid that the other party has been forbearing, just like a poisonous snake hidden in the shadows, looking for the moment when I can relax, and then give myself a fatal blow, generally this kind of opponent is the most terrifying. Just like a barking dog bites people not badly, a dog that doesn't bark bites the most fiercely.

Because she had long been prepared to be attacked in advance, even Tan Yun was in an extremely relaxed state, looking out through the small windows and curtains on both sides of the carriage, but the other party was following the rear of the car, and she couldn't see anything now. At this time, she spoke: "Childe, do you think those bad people will attack us today?" ”

Cao Yi listened to Tan Yun's words with a smile on his face, it is estimated that in Tan Yun's world, as long as he is against Cao Yi, he is a bad person, and it is very likely that he is either black or white, either a good person or a bad person...... Cao Yi reached out and touched Tan Yun's head, and in the latter's confused eyes, he said: "Childe doesn't know, Childe is not a worm in their stomach, and they are bad people, Childe is a good person, I can't think of going with them." ”

"Oh......" Tan Yun's eyes flashed, and he also looked like he should have been, nodding in approval, this time it was Cao Yi's turn to feel funny in his heart, this Tan Yun really trusted herself, what she said, she felt what it was, it seems that she will really sell her in the future, and she will help herself count the money.

In the next journey, although Cao Yi and Liu Baiqing will still pay attention to the movements behind, they don't pay too much attention to it, they will go to Liu's Mansion today, which is a matter that was decided yesterday, so along the way, there are already good hands from Taibai's secret camp ambushed. And after Yunqing's intensive training, each of them also knows a little bit of the basics of disguise, although they can still see some clues when they look closely, but from a distance, they still can't see any flaws.

So now on this road, every other section, there will be guards who have been in place in advance before, and the rest, Cao Yi's carriage has already passed, will also move closer to the position of Cao Yi's carriage, so if they really start, Cao Yi and they are not afraid at all.

Another point is that if you do it in the city, the patrol captain in the city is not a vegetarian, and he will definitely come over quickly in a short time, especially in Yangzhou, a city where three religions and nine streams are mixed, dragons and snakes are mixed, and the merchant groups from all over the country, the Cao Gang and the Salt Gang are stationed in the city, and the natural government attaches great importance to this area, and once it is caught, it will definitely be severely punished.

However, until Cao Yi and the others arrived at the gate of Liu's mansion, the carriage behind them still did not move, it seemed that they seemed to be very jealous of the Liu family, and they stopped before they got close, and then turned around and left. At the gate of Liu's mansion, Cao Yi, Liu Baiqing and Tan Yun turned around to watch the movement of the carriage.

"It seems...... They are reluctant to approach Liu's mansion? Liu Baiqing asked.

"Maybe, after all, he is the richest man in Yangzhou, and his defense force must be extremely good, and he is also one of the four major families of the Salt Gang, his influence and strength cannot be underestimated, and it is normal for them to be afraid." Cao Yi replied casually, and then sent the greeting note to the concierge and asked him to pass it on his behalf.

However, the concierge did not open it after receiving the post, but after carefully examining Cao Yi, he asked: "May I ask if it is Cao Yi and Cao Gongzi?" ’

Cao Yi smiled slightly, nodded and said, "It's Cao Yi below!" ”

"Cao Gongzi hurry up and please go to the house, the old man has already explained, saying that Cao Gongzi doesn't need to report when he comes over, just take him directly to his residence in the inner courtyard."

"Then there is the old man!" Cao Yi clasped his hands to the porter and said politely.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Cao Gongzi is really old, please inside, please two inside." The porter hurriedly returned the salute and spoke, and the latter sentence was said to Liu Baiqing and Tan Yun.

Sure enough, it is worthy of being the gatehouse of Liufu, the first capital of Yangzhou, and it is really very mature in dealing with people, and even if Tan Yun's clothes look like a maid at a glance, Liu Baiqing is also a position behind Cao Yi like a guard, but the gatehouse is still not leaking, and he did not say that he ignored Liu Baiqing and Tan Yun, but also saluted and greeted him together.
