After Liu Futong greeted everyone, Lord Cao Bao continued:

"This is what I told you before, after Yue Wumu, the king of E, is also my adopted daughter Lin Jiao, and now she is in charge of disaster relief and relief from all walks of life.

Lin Jiao had received the true biography of Yuexia Suo and the abbot of Wencai, and had a deep understanding of the martial arts of Wudang and Shaolin, and Jinnaro, Liu Ji, Zhang Dingbian and Liu Futong were all frequent visitors to Caojiabao, and they were all familiar with each other, so they came over to salute one by one.

At this time, when I heard my father say that Qi Kun turned out to be the Ziwei messenger with a major mission, I was happy and ashamed in my heart, that is, I was surprised by my identity, and I was secretly happy for my own vision of people.

Everyone was naturally amazed by Liu Futong and Cao Linjiao's life experience and righteous deeds. After listening to the introduction, Qi Kun felt even more excited, and he couldn't imagine that the most influential key figures in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty would gather here today, which is really providential!

Although the heavenly opportunity cannot be revealed, it will develop in the future, and I will become more and more confident.

The lord of Caobao invited everyone to sit down, presented the Xiangzhou tea produced by Baizhang Mountain this year, and invited everyone to drink with a cup. Continuing from the previous topic, they discussed the past and the present in combination with the past dynasties to control the flood disaster of the Yellow River, and put forward some good suggestions for the river control plan. However, the two most fundamental problems, which are also necessary conditions, are that no one has no money, but they still have not been able to negotiate a feasible solution.

Qi Kun analyzed the current situation to everyone:

"At present, there are only a few officials with Jia Lu as the core who support the governance of the river, and when the powerful people of the DPRK are extorting money and bending the law more and more, they are unwilling to pay for disaster relief and save the people, and at the same time, they are afraid that the river workers and refugees will rebel and cause chaos, which will damage their own family business and interests. Therefore, the most critical problem in front of us is that it is urgent to raise funds to complete this huge project, and if the funds are solved, let alone 50,000 yuan, it will not be difficult to gather 100,000 or 200,000 people to participate in river control. ”

After hearing this, Liu Futong put down the teacup, got up and arched his hand to Qi Kun and said:

"Futong will return to Yingzhou, discuss with my father, and do my best to support Ziwei envoys with the assets of the Liu family, although it may be far away, but we can also call on and influence more wealthy businessmen to donate money and materials to support the disaster together."

Everyone was in awe when they heard this, and they praised Liu Futong's open-mindedness and righteous deeds, which can be called exemplary.

Qi Kun nodded in approval:

"Although the Futong brothers are young, they can have such a mind and the courage to make decisions on the spot, which is worthy of the dragon and phoenix among the people! You go back this time to raise funds, and at the same time you can also recruit as many young adults as possible, it will definitely be useful, Jia Lu's subordinates are always not a way to catch strong men among the refugees, although we raise more money and people, the more we raise, we can do a good job in the Yellow River at one time, and if we raise less, we can also complete it in stages and stages, in short, we must not let the flood flood harm the people. ”

"Obey Ziwei's orders, and do your best to live up to your mission." Liu Futong replied.

Lord Cao Bao stepped forward and patted Liu Futong on the shoulder and said:

"The virtuous nephew has worked hard all the way, the kitchen is almost ready, and it is not too late for you to return after you have eaten."

"It's okay, Uncle Cao doesn't have to be polite, it's not the time to eat yet, we all bring dry food, get things done early and come back to drink."

Liu Futong said goodbye, said goodbye to everyone, and rushed to Yingzhou with his entourage.

Everyone was sighing, but they saw Zhang Dingbian also get up and say goodbye:

"Today Dingbian is fortunate to get acquainted with all the elders and heroes, it is really a blessing for three lives, to see Brother Liu's style is so vigorous and resolute, it is really admirable, I also want to return to my hometown as soon as possible, and try to raise more silver taels with a few of my brothers, and organize more young and strong laborers. Although the family background is not as solid as Brother Liu, I am afraid that he will not be able to raise so much money, but in terms of organizational manpower, our fellow Jingchu villagers must surpass him, Ziwei envoy and Uncle Cao, please wait for my good news. ”

The lord of Cao Bao knew that the young man was competitive, and seeing that Zhang Dingbian had made up his mind, he no longer forced him to stay, so he asked him to take dry food and bring it to him, and sent it to the door. Zhang Dingbian bowed to everyone, and then left.

The lord of Cao Bao turned and sat down, and said to the people:

"Old Dao Immortal, Wencai Abbot, Master Jinnaro, Ziwei Envoy and Liu Ji Brothers, I would like to ask you to stay in the fortress for a few days. For example, today's disasters and man-made disasters are rampant, in order to save the people from fire and water, it is imperative to control the Yellow River to help the people and carry forward the great cause of inheritance. I wonder what you think? ”

Liu Ji is a world-minded and extremely conceited person, who agrees with Lord Cao Bao's suggestion, and also hopes to follow Ziwei to do something earth-shattering.

The two masters of Yuexia and Shaolin, as monks and cultivators, have long given up fame and fortune in the world, but the great cause of saving the common people is also the best practice, how can there be no reason to do their best? At the same time, they also cherished this natural opportunity with Ziwei envoys, and the three of them agreed to stay in Baizhang Mountain for a few days to discuss major matters together.

Lord Cao Bao thanked everyone, and finally turned to Qi Kun to wait for his opinion, and Cao Linjiao also stared at him with expectant eyes.

Qi Kun pondered for a moment and replied:

"Thank you Lord Cao Bao for your kindness! Because of the compassion and benevolence of the castle owner, I was deeply attracted and moved, and I had already thought that I would definitely come to visit. To tell the truth, Qi Kun had set off yesterday, and wanted to go to Henan to find Najialu to discuss the matter of governing the river, the reason why he turned back today and invited the old Daoxian to accompany him to Baizhang Mountain first, is indeed because there is no money and no one at present, and the huge project is difficult to implement, so he wants to come to the Lord of Cao Bao to consult. After meeting the Lord of Cao Bao and the abbot of Shaolin Wencai, Master Kinnara and the heroes, I felt the importance and necessity of this visit, and I would like to stay and discuss with you the opportunity to seek common cause. ”

"However, there is one thing that I still ask Lord Cao Fort to help me do, and I need to find out where Jia Lu is now, and how many people have been organized by their current team to control the river, including the captured strong men? I want to know and keep track of their progress so that we can work more effectively. ”

Qi Kun continued.

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Lord Cao Bao was overjoyed, stood up and said to Qi Kun:

"Ziwei envoy, please rest assured, this is easy."

Immediately sent someone to write a letter, and sent a letter to inform the northern rudders to quickly find out the situation and report back as soon as possible, and make proper arrangements, and then returned to the hall and sat down.

Cao Linjiao saw that her father was going to discuss important matters with everyone, so she got up and said goodbye, preparing to inspect the situation of giving porridge to the people everywhere.

Lord Cao Bao stopped his daughter and said to her:

"Jiao'er, come and sit down, I have hidden something in my heart for my father for 18 years, and I want to tell you today. This old Taoist immortal and Shaolin two masters are your favorite and most respected masters, Ziwei makes Qi Kun Gongzi is a strange person in the world, by the order of the immortals to bear a major mission, Liu Ji brothers are righteous and erudite, astronomy and geography are all proficient in the art of war, and they are also the most admired geniuses for their fathers, I want to entrust your biological father to me in front of everyone today, and tell you the secrets of the Yue family and the great cause. ”

Lin Jiao sat down slowly with a confused face, quietly listening to her father's tearful and affectionate narration.

Only then did I know my life experience, the tragic death of my biological parents and the old and young of Yuejiazhuang, the secret of "Wu Mu's Testament", the genealogy and family rules of the Yue family, and the difficulties that Ziwei had to complete in order to save the people in the world, and the difficulties he was currently encountering.

Cao Linjiao listened carefully, her heart was uncontrollable, and she had already burst into tears.

Abbot Wencai got up and comforted:

"Amitabha, Miss Linjiao should not be sad, the first hero of King E, the eternal legend, the descendants of the Yue family are also very loyal. Your father and Lao Wei were also old friends for many years before his death, and it is really gratifying to see that you are now Tingting and Yuli, knowledgeable and gifted! Lord Cao Bao treats you like his own child, and has loved and cared for you in every way for eighteen years, and your parents should be able to smile at Jiuquan. ”

Lin Jiao listened to her forehead frequently, and after a while, she saw her raise her head to wipe away the tears on her face, and said to Lord Cao Bao:

"The parenting grace of my parents is as great as the sky, Lin Jiao's life is probably not over, I will always be filial to accompany my parents to repay my kindness. Father chose to tell Lin Jiao these secrets today, there must be something to explain, what do you need me to do, father, please command. ”

Seeing that his daughter was so well-behaved and filial, Lord Cao Bao was so moved that his clothes were wet with tears. After a pause, he said:

"That's right, the Yue family rules stipulate that only the descendants of the Yue family can read the "Wu Mu Testament", this book has been kept by me for you for 18 years, and the father strictly abides by the entrustment of the righteous brother and the family rules of the Yue family, and has never opened it. I originally wanted to wait for you to become an adult and then recruit a family, and let the child follow the surname of the Yue family in the future, so that the treasure book can be passed on. However, now that the Yellow River has burst its banks three times in succession, and countless people have died in the disaster, Ziwei has come here to rescue the common people by the mandate of heaven, and urgently needs a large amount of money to complete this huge river control project. ”

Calming down his excitement, the castle lord continued:

"And about the secret of the hidden treasure of the previous dynasty, and must be found in the "Wu Mu Testament" to find the answer, the heroic sacrifice of one hundred and ten people in Yuejiazhuang was also due to the protection of this book, and now Yuejiazhuang is only one of your descendants, for the father today I want to deliver this treasure book to you completely, I hope that you will open and inherit, we will all fully assist you, together to complete the will of the martyrs."

Lin Jiao is so smart, she has already understood what her father meant, and she is even more grateful for her adoptive father's kindness and righteousness, and the kindness of raising herself in the past 18 years, she immediately got up and kowtowed to her father three times, and said with tears:

"Daughter thanks and understands her father's good intentions, please rest assured, I am willing to listen to your words, for the will of the Yue family, for the poor people in the world to suffer less disasters, do my best, even if I am broken."

Everyone was excited and excited by this touching scene, and they all looked forward to unlocking the secrets hidden in the "Wu Mu's Testament" as soon as possible, making good use of the treasures of the previous dynasty, completing the river control project as soon as possible, and playing a positive role in the great cause of eliminating evil and promoting goodness and saving the people in the world.

Qi Kun, Yuexiasuo, Wencai Abbot, Master Jinnaro, Liu Ji and other five people were invited to stay in Caojiabao to discuss the plan together. They all agreed with Lord Caobao's arrangement, and also admired his great benevolence and loyalty.

After dinner, Lord Cao Bao led everyone into the secret room again.

Cao Linjiao is so big, it is the first time she has heard that there is a secret room here, she was attracted by this mysterious corridor and space, touching here and looking there, but she would never have thought that her life began at this time, and was given an extremely sacred mission.
