The next morning, in front of the gate of Cao Dan's mansion, a large number of troops under the command of Dou Jiande gathered at the gate of Cao Dan's mansion, and Cao Dan came to the gate of the mansion with his whole body draped and took the bow and arrow handed over from Heng Fangxin.

"Madam, wait for me, I will definitely bring Ying'er back." Heng Fangxin nodded. After Cao Dan left with Cao Fu, Heng Fangxin said to the nurse beside her:

"I have done what you asked me to do, and my husband will not be in danger!" Heng Fangxin is most concerned about the safety of her husband now, especially her husband, when her father wanted to marry Cao Dan, she was reluctant and helpless, but under Cao Dan's money offensive and the action of knowing cold and hot, Heng Fangxin's heart slowly pulled down Cao Dan's side, and after giving birth to her son, Heng Fangxin's heart was even more stable. The nurse looked at Heng Fangxin's appearance and said on the side:

"Madam, don't worry! Adults will be safe. Heng Fangxin looked at Cao Dan's distant back, full of worry. Cao Dan led a large group of people along the official road, out of the west gate, all the way to the mountain temple, Cao Fu said to Cao Dan at this time:

"My lord, the weather is so hot, I see that there is a mountain temple over there, it should be quite shady, or let's go there to have a cool time, and let the brothers rest and rest." Cao Dan nodded. Accompanied by Cao Fu, Cao Dan ordered the whole army to rest and deploy around the mountain temple:

"The mountain temple is too small, you are stationed around the mountain temple, if there is something, rush in immediately to rescue the official." Huang Sanyong replied:

"Yes! My lord, the last general commanded. He took Cao Fu and a few personal guards to the mountain temple. Two people dressed as Taoist priests stopped Cao Dan:

"Dare to ask, it's Lord Cao right away?" Cao Dan saw the two Taoist priests:

"This official is Cao Dan."

"Lord Cao, there is a donor who has been waiting inside for a long time, please Lord Cao in." Cao Dan nodded, and walked inside with Cao Fu, and Cao Dan's personal guards also followed in, but were stopped by two people dressed as Taoist priests. Cao Dan's personal guards were about to quarrel with the two Taoist priests, when Cao Fu opened his mouth and said:

"You don't have to go in, just have me with the master." Cao Dan's personal guards looked at Cao Dan, and Cao Dan could also see that these two people dressed as Taoist priests would never let those personal guards in, for the sake of his son, Cao Dan also endured it, so he nodded and said:

"Don't worry! Just have Steward Cao to accompany the official, and you just wait at the door. After Cao Dan entered the mountain temple, he saw that refreshments had been placed in a sitting position in the temple, and his brother-in-law Heng Guangyuan was sitting on it with two people. One of the two people, Cao Dan, knew Xu Jingzong, his former staff member, and the other, who was very angry, looked close to thirty years old. After Xu Jingzong saw Cao Dan, he immediately greeted Cao Dan warmly and said:

"Lord Cao Dan, we've been waiting for a long time. Come! Sit, sit! Cao Dan saw Heng Guangyuan, and immediately thought in his heart, this matter is likely to be Heng Guangyuan involved, could it be that Heng Fangxin is involved, and he saw Xu Jingzong at the table, and then looked at the young man - it seems that this person is the mastermind of the whole thing, who is this person? Looking at Xu Jingzong's attitude towards this person, could it be Li Jiancheng? Cao Dan came to the table and sat down.

"I didn't expect that the official's brother-in-law and Lord Xu are here, I don't know who this gentleman is, how can he appear here?" The young man smiled at Cao Dan:

"Lord Cao, I have heard the name of Lord Cao for a long time in Xia Li Jiancheng, and I have heard Lord Xu Jingzong mention Lord Cao to the palace many times, so I specially came to this Le Shou from Taiyuan, just hoping to make friends with Lord Cao." As soon as Cao Dan heard Li Jiancheng's name, he was immediately very excited in his heart - good! If Li Jiancheng can be caught, then this official will have made a great contribution.

"Cao Fu! Hurry up and let the people outside come in and arrest the thief......" Cao Dan's words immediately stopped, and his voice was still a little trembling:

Cao ...... Good fortune...... Cao ...... Steward Cao, no, Cao ...... Uncle Cao, you ...... What are you doing...... Do? Cao Dan only felt that his back was very cold, and it turned out that Cao Fu pointed a dagger at Cao Dan's back.

"Lord Cao, thank you for your trust in me over the years, but unfortunately I'm sorry, I am the Qilin Secret Guard under Prince Li Tang, and now that my master is here, please be quiet." How dare Cao Dan not listen to Li Jiancheng now, so he naturally nodded immediately:

"Good...... Good...... Good! Too...... Prince...... Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will definitely ...... Certain...... Follow...... Do what you tell you to do. Li Jiancheng smiled at Cao Dan, and reprimanded Cao Fu:

"Cao Fu! Put the dagger away, didn't you see that Lord Cao was a distinguished guest of the palace? Cao Fu agreed and put away the dagger. Li Jiancheng poured a cup of tea for Cao Dan:

"Lord Cao, come, have a drink first, this is the characteristic tip of Lingling County's tribute to our dynasty! It's not something that everyone can drink, so please try it. Cao Dan took the tea that Li Jiancheng respected, took a sip, and slowly stabilized his mind:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really witty, he was able to stretch his hand to the side of the official, and even the brother-in-law of the official was pulled over by His Royal Highness the Prince. If there is anything, please say it clearly, and the official does not say secret words, but where is the son of the official? Also, Heng Guangyuan, no matter what, Ying'er is your nephew, how can you ......" Heng Guangyuan also poured a cup of tea for Cao Dan:

"Oops! I'm sorry, please forgive my brother-in-law, I was already a subordinate of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when I was in Gangneung, and this time I just helped my master, but I had to worry my brother-in-law and sister. Next time, I will prepare a generous gift to make amends to the adults and sisters. But I can't blame me for this! All of this I did was for the future of Master Cao and my sister. Also, when the adults return to the house, my nephew will definitely return to the adults intact. ”

"Humph!" Cao Dan is still a little puffy. Li Jiancheng interjected:

"Ugh! What's wrong with you guys? The grass lord is a guest invited by the main palace, how can he talk to the guest like this. Lord Cao, there is one thing I want you to help me with! That's why I used this kind of next resort, and I ask for your forgiveness for the inappropriateness! Someone! Bring me the gift that Hongu wants to give to adults. Someone immediately brought a sedan chair, Cao Dan thought:

"Humph! What's in this sedan chair? Could it be a stunning beauty, there are beautiful beauties in the official mansion. However, since it is to suppress the official, the official will accept it first. Cao Dan deliberately pretended that his clothes didn't matter, and slowly came to the sedan chair, opened the sedan curtain, and saw a red light imprinted in his eyes.

"Ahh This! That's really ...... It's just too valuable. "It turns out that the sedan chair is a pot of red coral, only to see that this red coral is more than one zhang high, the whole body is red, the sedan chair is like a fire, the inside is red, the red coral is originally very precious, the red coral that can grow to more than one zhang high is a treasure, Cao Dan is like being in the dragon palace. The unhappiness of the son's disappearance disappeared without a trace.

"Ahh His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......, this ...... That's really ...... It's so ...... It's too precious. Li Jiancheng said with a smile:

"Ugh! That's a little bit of a thing! It's good if Lord Cao likes it. Cao Dan asked Li Jiancheng:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to help you? Do you want to be an intermediary in Xia and let Li Tang make peace with King Dou, there is no problem, as long as you agree to King Dou's conditions, let His Royal Highness King Qin withdraw his troops, and return the original land in Luoyang, and send some gold and silver land, it's fine. Li Jiancheng really wanted to give Cao Dan a slap - what a big idiot. Li Jiancheng pretended to drink tea, blowing the tea leaves on the tea water:

"Lord Cao, you are really joking, now, our dynasty basically occupies half of the Central Plains, even Wang Shichong only has half a breath left, although now King Dou and our army are confronted, but there is no crisis in our dynasty, and I have not moved the soldiers and horses of Youzhou and Mayi, if you want to move, it is just a little more effort, today I came here to meet with Lord Cao, mainly to save some effort. So ......" Cao Dan smiled:

"His Royal Highness the Prince! I'm afraid you don't know yet! King Dou has no children, and in the future, the Shandong world will be the official's. Also, if King Dou captures Luoyang and ascends the throne in the future, the second emperor will be the official. Okay, His Royal Highness the Prince, or return the official's son to the next, he is innocent for a small time, as for the next, His Royal Highness the Prince wants to kill or chop whatever you want, however, the official reminds you that the outside of this mountain temple is full of the official's people, you better weigh it! Li Jiancheng picked up the teacup again and took a sip:

"Haha! Lord Cao, you are so naïve! Cao Dan immediately said angrily:

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean by this?"

"Lord Cao, it's really good that King Dou has no children, but this palace recently heard that several nephews of King Dou, King Dou has always been with him even to conquer Luoyang, and now King Dou is old, and I am afraid that he is afraid that he will have some accidents when he takes a few of his nephews with him! When the time comes, King Dou will succeed in conquering Luoyang, and if he ascends the throne in Luoyang, will the prince be the candidate, does Lord Cao really think it will be you? ”

"Humph! So what? The official's sister is the wife of King Dou, and coupled with the official's power in Shandong, it is a big deal to establish herself as the king. ”

"Then what if King Dou's generals see this?" Cao Dan saw that there was an extra ledger in front of him.

"Don't you want to see it?" After Cao Dan opened the ledger, his face changed greatly:

"This ...... How did this book end up here? "This account book records that Cao Danke withheld military rations and used them as shoddy, as well as monopolized the salt business in the Qilu area, colluded with Heng Guangyuan, suppressed the number of bribes accepted by other large businessmen in Qilu, and also, in the name of King Dou, increased the number of taxes paid by Qilu without authorization to fill his own pockets. On Cao Dan's face, cold sweat broke out.

"Lord Cao, as far as this palace knows, King Dou's nephews have always wanted to take you down, and then replace you, and King Dou's adviser Ling Jing has also been dissatisfied with Lord Cao, if this palace gives them this thing, Lord Cao thinks, can you still stand up as a king? I'm afraid that the first person to kill you will be King Dou, although you are the maiden brother of King Dou's wife, but you are not surnamed Dou after all. King Dou just loves Mrs. Cao again, you are still an outsider after all. ”
