Yizhou Thorn Shi Cao Xin looks more like a person who reads more, in fact, he is indeed the person who reads the most in the core layer of Chengde, he is the person who has really participated in the Tang Dynasty scientific examination and won the Jinshi. The readers of the Tang Dynasty are very different from the readers of later generations, at least, there are not many readers in that era. The vast majority of them are the kind of characters who can pick up a pen and write splendid articles, and lift a knife to slaughter people like killing chickens and dogs.

When Li Anguo started, there were really a lot of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals gathered around him, but in the end, he was able to become the only assassin under Li Anguo who had nothing to do with him, and became a guard, Cao Xin relied on real credit. In Chengde, he was recognized as the most cunning general in the use of soldiers.

Li Anguo often ridiculed him as a literate hooligan. I'm not afraid of hooligans' strength, I'm afraid that hooligans are educated.

Sitting by the fire at this moment, stretching out a pair of slender hands that seem to hold a pen far more than a knife, while roasting the fire, while listening to Wang Mingyi talking about this trip to Wuyi. On the other side sat Wang Mingyi's son Wang Wenshu.

Wang Mingyi has been in business for many years, and his eloquence is naturally experienced, and he speaks with a sound and color, which makes people feel like he is there, Wang Wenshu's face is uncertain, and it is extremely exciting, but it is Cao Xin, who has been wearing a faint smile on his face. It seems to be listening to it as a story.

"Uncle, that's the whole situation." Wang Mingyi finished speaking in one breath, took the tea that had already turned cold on the side and drank it in one gulp, and looked at Cao Xindao.

"I really can't imagine that under the rule of our Yizhou, there is still such a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger." Cao Xin said with a smile: "Don't talk about Tu Lichun, more than ten years ago, he was still a young man in his twenties, I worked with him, who is the person who can stand with Tu Lichun?"

Wang Mingyi shook his head.

"What about the one who is like a god of archery?" Cao Xin asked again: "If you can have such an archery, you can't find a few in the whole world, right?"

Wang Mingyi shook his head again in embarrassment.

"It seems that you have been dating the little boy for a long time, and he doesn't regard you as a true friend who can be trusted by his heart! Except for Yixingtang, the really powerful means are hidden from you!" Cao Xin said with a smile.

Wang Mingyi said embarrassedly: "When I first met him, I was about to swallow his Yixing Hall, and although I turned enemies into friends, how could I win the trust of others in such a short period of time?"

"Yes." Cao Xin nodded.

"Big brother, now the focus is not on the big man, nor on this archeryman, but Li Ze, this is a really powerful character!" Wang Wenshu was a little anxious.

"How can the son of the envoy of the festival be bad? Li Ze is a character, I expected it, but he was so good that it surprised me a little." Cao Xindao.

"There was infighting between the two brothers, but we were in wax." Wang Wenshu said dissatisfiedly: "Big brother, you refused the eldest prince's intention to transfer troops, I am afraid that he will hold a grudge. Akihito said that the eldest prince seems to be open-minded, but he can't tolerate anyone to oppose him suspiciously, a little, a little cautious!"

Cao Xin smiled: "Are you worried that the eldest prince will go back to clean up Mingren?"

Wang Wenshu stretched out his hands: "Why aren't you worried?"

"Don't worry, although the eldest prince is a little stubborn, he is not so confused, he came to me to transfer troops, and he was also a little angry and a little out of his heart for a while, I think it should be figured out now. In the name of suppressing bandits, let me lead the troops to destroy the little boy, and he can figure it out." Cao Xin smiled, "But it can also be seen from this that this little boy we have never seen before really put a lot of pressure on him!"

"Can it not be big?" Wang Wenshu smiled bitterly: "This little prince has quietly made thousands of elite soldiers, as well as such a fierce general, and has an annual income of hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is comparable to the eldest prince."

Cao Xin smiled, "I'm very curious about what the little boy did, now it seems that the little boy is never willing to be the shadow behind the big boy, but it seems that he didn't want to fight with the big boy for anything, but instead focused on developing on the side of Henghai, you see that Yixingtang has done a lot of things in Henghai over the years. Mingyi, huh?"

"Yes, uncle, I have seen some outlines of Yixingtang from Cheng Wei, plus my experience, I am afraid that the little boy has already arranged a huge network on the side of Henghai. It's just that this network is for business."

"You're still your son." Cao Xin scolded with a smile: "This thing, it can be in business, or it can be something else, thinking of the earlier Wuyi bandits, this is even more interesting, Henghai said that Liu Chenglin only brought twenty generals and was done, but those homeless people finally fell into the hands of the little son, what is even more interesting is that the Liu family, at the beginning, were in the hands of those homeless, think about it deeply, I am afraid that there is only a big article here."

Wang Wenshu's spirits perked up, "Big brother, do you mean that Li Ze has colluded with that Liu Chenglin?"

"It's hard to say what kind of collusion there is, but the two of them must have met and must have reached some deal." Cao Xin said: "Our little boy is not a good man and a woman, such a great opportunity to extort bamboo is in his hands, if he doesn't get something out, I really don't believe it."

Wang Wenshu's eyes lit up, "No wonder the eldest brother unceremoniously refused the eldest prince's request to transfer troops."

Wang Mingyi was inexplicable: "Uncle, father, what are you talking about?"

Cao Xin laughed: "Mingyi, I'll teach you a lesson today. Now it seems that our little boy has been fighting the idea of Henghai, and he doesn't develop towards Chengde, probably because he doesn't want to have any conflict with the eldest son. The world of chaos is coming! Xiao Gongzi's plot is Henghai, think about it, if this situation really becomes like this, what good will it do us?"

Wang Mingyi looked dazed.

Wang Wenshu was a little angry, "Can't you figure it out?" Even though the little boy has thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, he is still weak in the face of Henghai, even if he has any tricks, but he does not have enough strength to support it, it is in vain. Even if you have to take advantage of it for a while, you will eventually lose in front of absolute strength. What your uncle means is that we can take this opportunity to hitchhike with the little boy and go to the Henghai side."

"I see!" Wang Mingyi suddenly realized.

"Under the rule of Chengde, Zhenzhou is the strongest in the town, needless to say, the second place, when it is Zhaozhou under the rule of Li Anmin, we Yizhou, can only rank third, the weakest, but the Su family in Shenzhou, these places, our hands are not stretched, so if you want to develop, the only idea that can be fought is Henghai. Henghai Zhu Shou, over there, is not very popular, and riots in the territory are one after another. If the little boy really succeeds, we will reach out and help when the time comes, and we will naturally get a lot of benefits."

Wang Mingyi nodded again and again, but asked again: "Uncle, but in this way, won't we completely offend the eldest prince?"

Cao Xin sneered, "Mingyi, whether the eldest prince will be offended or not depends not on what we do, but on whether we have the strength, if we have enough strength, even if we do something, he will only do his best to win us over. So you don't have to worry about your eldest brother, if we really follow Li Ze and get great benefits at that time, he will only be better for your eldest brother, because your eldest brother will come back to take over the history of the Yizhou Assassin in the future, understand?"

"Got it!" Wang Mingyi said: "In this way, we can't turn against the little boy. Instead, I want to show goodwill."

"There's no need to turn back, and there's no need to show favor." Cao Xin shook his head and said: "Just wait and see what happens, if the little boy really plans to do so, then when the time comes, he will naturally come to us. As for you, should you do business with him, or do it together, as long as nothing has happened."

"This time I sold him cleanly, I'm afraid he will have a prejudice against me." Wang Mingyi was worried.

"Don't worry, there is the entire Yizhou standing behind you, so ah, a smart person like Xiao Gongzi will definitely act as if nothing happened." Cao Xin said confidently.

"Then uncle, the eldest prince said that he wanted to clean up Yang Kai, but did he still do it?"

"Do it, why not do it!" Cao Xin smiled and said, "The state will issue an official document to remove Yang Kai from the post of Wuyi County Commander."

"Doesn't this offend the little boy? That Yang Kai is still very useful to the little boy. If the eldest prince is replaced by his people according to his request, I am afraid that the little prince's life will not be easy."

Cao Xin snorted: "If this person really dares to go, I bet that he will not be able to walk to Wuyi alive, if you leak this news, that guy will definitely drag him away, as long as the person does not go, it will inevitably be Yang Kai, does it matter?" In this way, I will also give the face of the eldest son, and the affairs of the younger prince will not be delayed, the best of both worlds."

"It's still my uncle's mastery!" Wang Mingyi praised repeatedly. Uncle, if the two sons really want to do it in the future, what will we do?"

"As long as the Jiedu envoys are alive, it is unlikely that they will be able to do it in an open fire. There may be a lot of small means, and we have nothing to do." Cao Xin was disdainful, "Then again, if the little boy really took Henghai with his bare hands, then I, Cao Xin, defected to him, what can't I do?" In this world, after all, the strong are respected. I, Cao Xin, defected to the little boy, and the world will not say that I am a betrayer."
