You! Ximen Ba raised his head and glared at Cao Yi angrily.

"What am I? If Liu Baiqing and I fall into your hands, you can think for yourself whether we will have a better end! Cao Yi's words blocked Ximen Ba to the point where he had nothing to say.

Ximen Ba opened his mouth and closed it again, indeed what Cao Yi said was right, if the positions of the two of them were reversed, Cao Yi's fate would definitely be worse.

Let's put aside what role Chu Mingxuan played in this incident, at least Cao Yi and their Cao gang had no intersection with Ximen Ba before, so Cao Yi didn't have any possibility or motive to deliberately collude with Chu Mingxuan to calculate them.

So now that Ximen Ba has figured it out, it is very likely that Cao Yi deliberately said this just now, wanting to make himself suspicious of Chu Mingxuan, so as to confess the latter's matter.

I have to say that Ximen Ba can become the hall master of the Yangzhou Branch, there is still his sharpness, in addition to his strong skills, although his intelligence is not as good as that of ordinary strategists or heroes, but at least it is above the average level, otherwise with the factional struggle within the Cao Gang and the intrigue between the upper and lower levels, he will not sit in this position.

However, even if he guessed Cao Yi's intentions, he couldn't change the fact that now one of their thirteen Taibao was abolished, and the other twelve were all captured.

"My patience is limited, and in the end I give you a chance to either apologize or cut off my hand! There are only two options! Cao Yi glared at Ximen Ba and said expressionlessly.

"I ...... I apologize......" Ximenba's face was full of bitterness.

"Tan Yun, come here!" Cao Yi beckoned to Tan Yun, who walked over with a slight hesitation, but his expression was still a little scared.

Cao Yi took Tan Yun forward slightly, stood next to him, and said: "Now, you guys come over one by one and line up to apologize, remember what I said, it is to kneel in front of Tan Yun, and then apologize!" ”

At the same time, he turned his head to the Taibai secret guard and said, "Listen to the people in the secret camp, if any of them don't do it, they will break it with both hands on the spot!" ”

"Yes!" All the people of the Taibai Secret Guard responded loudly, and this momentum shocked the thirteen Taibao of the Cao Gang, including Ximen Ba.

The thirteen Taibao glanced at each other, nodded to each other, started with the strong man closest to Tan Yun, walked in front of Tan Yun, gritted his teeth, knelt down, lowered his head and whispered: "Miss Tan Yun, I'm sorry, please forgive me!" ”

Seeing the other party like this, Tan Yun couldn't help but take a step back, wanting to dodge, but was pulled back by Cao Yi, Cao Yi shook his head at her, Tan Yun had to bite his lip and stand in front of him at a loss.

"Be louder, you can't hear me!" Cao Yi said lightly, "And you can't get up before Tanyun lets you get up!" ”

The strong man who had already knelt down to apologize and was about to get up heard this, as long as he continued to kneel, his hands were clenched, and then he let go, and shouted loudly: "Miss Tanyun, I was wrong, please forgive me!" ”

Tan Yun turned his head to look at Cao Yi, with a pitiful look, and he didn't know what to do next.

Cao Yi turned his head to Tan Yun with a hint of a smile, and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, forgive if you want to forgive, let them kneel all the time if you don't want to forgive, and Gongzi is next to you." ”

Tan Yun saw Cao Yi's smiling face nervously and finally relaxed a little, just now I saw that Cao Yi had been expressionless, and his tone was super cold, which made Tan Yun a little frightened, and now hearing Cao Yi say this, she quickly let go of the corner of her clothes that she had been holding tightly, and said anxiously: "That...... Then get up, I forgive you! ”

When the strong man heard this, he didn't stand up for the first time, but raised his head and glanced at Cao Yi, he knew that it was Cao Yi who had the final say, if this young man didn't let him get up, he would continue to kneel down for various reasons, so he would only get up when he received Cao Yi's signal.

Cao Yi naturally knew what this person meant, so he didn't explain much, and said lightly: "Tan Yun has the final say in this matter." ”

The strong man hurriedly got up and retreated, and the people behind him really came and knelt down one by one and apologized.

Fu Wan'er and Yue, who were standing in Cao Yi and Tan Yun's outstretched hand, glanced at each other, their eyes flashed with strange looks, they were all thinking back to what Cao Yi said before, when he asked the thirteen bandits opposite to kneel down in front of Tan Yun and apologize, at that time even they didn't believe in it, and later when Cao Yi said to Tan Yun that he wanted to help her get angry, the two of them were not very confident in Cao Yi, but they didn't expect it, but now they have all come true one by one!

In addition to the shock in their hearts, the rest is a deep admiration for Cao Yi, this seemingly weak scholar, can have such skills and never give up character, they are not familiar with the way of martial arts, and they don't understand, but they know that when Cao Yi is fighting, the situation is not dominant, and he can win, completely relying on that fierce strength and unyielding will.

This shocked Fu Wan'er and Yue'er's hearts too much, Cao Yi is a great talent image that completely exceeds their usual cognition, but a brand new version that has never been seen before.

Fu Wan'er and Yue'er's hearts have been thinking, and the things outside are also continuing, and now almost everyone has knelt down to apologize, except for Ximen Ba and Liu Dazhuang, now it is Ximen Ba's turn, he is also quite simple, very single-mindedly walked in front of Tan Yun, knelt down without hesitation at all, and said in a thunderous voice: "Miss Tanyun, I know that I was wrong, please forgive me!" After saying that, he lowered his head.

"Forgive you, get up!" After more than a dozen apologies, Tan Yun has now spoken faster and faster, and he is becoming more and more numb, and it is completely a coping response in the back, without any emotion at all.

Now only Liu Dazhuang is left, and the pain of his hands being broken still exists, but after this interruption, he no longer wails, because he was lying on the ground and his hands were broken, so the Taibai secret guard didn't care about him, and now everyone's eyes are focused on him, but he doesn't have the slightest intention of moving.

Liu Dazhuang smiled contemptuously: "Cao Yi, don't think that I will apologize to you or the little girl next to you today!" My hands have been broken, my future life has been wasted, there is no hope anyway, the big deal is death! But I don't believe you have the guts to kill me! ”

Cao Yi tilted his head and looked at Liu Dazhuang, looked at it for a while, with an indescribable smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Press him over and let him kneel!" ”

Two Taibai secret guards walked over, escorted Liu Dazhuang over, and forced him to kneel on the ground, even if Liu Dazhuang tried his best to resist, it would be useless, but his legs and feet, especially the inside of his knees, were hit a lot.

Liu Dazhuang gasped, blushed, stared at Cao Yi fiercely, and roared: "Cao Yi, don't think I will apologize!" If you have the ability, you will beat me to death today! ”

Cao Yi shook his head and said with a look of pity: "Kill you?" How could it be, I am a good citizen who abides by the law, how can I do such a thing that knows the law and violates the law. ”

Liu Dazhuang had a look of relief on his face, as if he overwhelmed Cao Yi on this and made him happy.

"Steward Xu? You are the governor of the governor's mansion, you should know a little bit about the law, according to our law of Great Yan, if the small number of people in the face of a large group of people in the process of fighting, because of excessive defense, miss and maim people, is this considered a crime? ”

Steward Xu had been watching from behind to see how Cao Yi would solve this matter, but he didn't expect to suddenly ask his head, but he still stepped forward to respond: "According to our Great Song law, if someone else takes the initiative to take action, and causes others to be crippled because of defense, it will not be punished by law, but if someone is killed...... The Governing Council will thoroughly verify that if someone who could have been killed without death is killed, it will be investigated......

"Oh, that's fine, I'm not going to kill him, at most mutilation." Cao Yi nodded at Steward Xu and said gratefully.

"Hmph, Cao Yi, you don't think I'm scared like this, my hands are crippled, anyway, I don't want to live well, what's the difference between my legs and my legs? Even if you cripple my legs, I won't apologize! Liu Dazhuang said disdainfully.

"Oh, man, you can't be too self-conscious anyway, when did I say I'm going to cripple your legs?"

"Then you asked ...... just now," Liu Dazhuang retorted.

Before Liu Dazhuang could finish speaking, Cao Yi interrupted him: "I'll give you a stick of incense, if you don't apologize within a stick of incense, you will break one of your brother's hands, aren't you known as the Thirteenth Taibao?" There are twelve of your brothers here, a total of twenty-four hands, you can think about it, anyway, I can afford it, I don't know if you can afford it! ”

As soon as Cao Yi finished saying this, everyone's faces changed, including Liu Dazhuang who was kneeling on the ground, Ximen Ba and others who stood aside after apologizing, as well as Fu Wan'er, Yu'er, and Xu Steward, and even Liu Baiqing looked at Cao Yi frequently, and they all felt that Cao Yi was really ruthless and spicy enough at this moment!

"Cao Yi, how can you go back on your word?" This sentence was not said by Liu Dazhuang, but by Ximen Ba, who was standing behind him.

"What I said at the time was that all of you knelt down to apologize, and Liu Dazhuang, who beat Tan Yun, had to cut off his hands! I...... That's right, right? Cao Yi looked at Ximen Ba and said word by word.

Ximen Ba was dumbfounded, even if his memory was not very good, but Cao Yi did say so just now. Ximen Ba glanced at Liu Dazhuang with a complicated expression and did not speak.

Cao Yi ignored them, but said to Liu Baiqing: "Bai Qing, you start the timer now, within a stick of incense, if Liu Dazhuang does not apologize, he will break someone's hand...... Well...... Let's start with this person! Cao Yi pointed to a strong man standing at the edge with his right hand and said lightly. This also made the person's expression change drastically, and he avoided a step for this.

"Liu Dazhuang, I want to see if your face is important, or your brother's arm is important!" Cao Yi said coldly.
