After the New Year, Cao Chao, accompanied by his mother Wu and some clansmen, left Datong and went to Nanjing.

Cao Chao went to Nanjing Jinyi Weizhong to take up a post, and Cao Yue wrote a letter to his friends in Beijing, Chang Yanling, who is now working in Nanjing, and others, asking them to help take care of his second brother. Mother Wu is also preparing to stay in Nanjing, and the Cao family, who passed in the past a few years ago, has already bought a house near the imperial city of Nanjing. Some of the other people in the clan will stay in Nanjing with the Wu clan and take care of Nanjing's affairs. There are also some people who will go to Suzhou, Huzhou, Hangzhou, Xiuzhou and other places, and they will do business according to Cao Yue's proposal and make the Cao family's industry bigger and stronger.

Many people in the Cao family were originally engaged in business, which may have something to do with Cao Wenzhao's original decision.

The supply of military salaries in the imperial court was insufficient, and there was no way to raise a well-equipped army, and Cao Wenzhao, as a leading general, had no choice but to pay his own money and pay his soldiers. Although the Cao family had a good background, they could not meet the needs of the army led by Cao Wenzhao with the family property left by their ancestors, so they could only raise it in other ways, and many people in the clan also began to engage in business.

Over the past few decades, the Cao family's business has become bigger and bigger, it can be said that the Cao family that was convened is also a famous person in the Jin merchants, Cao Wenzhao's cousin Cao Wenming, also under the persuasion of his brother, gave up martial arts and became a businessman, helping his sister-in-law Wu to take care of the Cao family's business.

The Wu family is good at business, and Cao Wenming is also a person with eight faces, one inside the main and one outside, and with the efforts of other Cao family children, the Cao family business is very good. The first person to leave Datong for Nanjing a few years ago was Cao Wenming. Cao Wenzhao and Cao Wenyao died in battle, and now Cao Wenming seems to be the most authoritative person in the family except for the Wu family.

After his mother Wu and second brother Cao Chao led many Cao family members to leave Datong, Cao Yue also felt a lot more relaxed, and he didn't have to worry too much, he also put his main mind into continuing to train the Datong army.

As a special training team of secret forces under his name, the training has always been in charge of Cao Yue himself, and after a few months, these selected sergeants have been trained in a decent manner.

Before the crossing, Cao Yue was an officer of the field army, and he was selected for the special forces training team, but he was brushed off because of an accident, but he was still quite familiar with the training of special forces after staying in the special forces training team for more than three months. The training methods of the special forces in later generations can be copied, especially in terms of physical fitness and willpower training.

Nowadays, without as many modern weapons as later generations, training in these subjects is impossible, but training in physical fitness, skills, and many special operations techniques is completely possible.

In addition to the training of his own family troops and the selected special training team, Cao Yue was personally in charge, and the training of other horses and horses was handed over to his generals.

After a few months, these generals were completely clear about Cao Yue's requirements, and they also understood the way Cao Yue's training and the purpose of the training. After a few months of training, the military appearance of the Datong New Army is no longer comparable to other Ming officers and soldiers. Some of the sergeants among them, although they have not experienced the tempering of actual combat, Cao Yue believes that if they are really pulled to the battlefield, their performance will not be very bad, at least much stronger than other rabble like the Ming official army.

Cao Yue planned to plan a large-scale military parade at the end of March or early April when the weather was warmer, when the recruits were trained for about half a year, so as to fully stimulate the pride of the soldiers through the parade, and also let the people near Datong see what the disciplined Ming Wang Shi was.

After another day of training with his own family unit and the quasi-special forces, Cao Yue, who participated in the training in person, returned to his line with a tired back pain. After a brief dinner, he ordered his guards to prepare hot water for him, intending to take a good bath and sleep soundly.

In order to exercise, Cao Yue has always taken cold showers, but after personally participating in the special forces, he found that taking a hot bath before going to bed is very helpful for sleep and can quickly eliminate fatigue, so he also began to change his habits and take a hot bath before going to bed. After the guards prepared the hot water after the bath tub, they also retreated, and Cao Yue took off all his clothes and jumped into the steaming bath tub naked. Without his pageging, the relatives around him would not dare to enter the account, and they would not let others in, and Cao Yue would not worry about who would see his indecent appearance.

Taking a cold shower can indeed strengthen the body, but the refreshing feeling of taking a hot bath is also very attractive, Cao Yue sat with his back against the bath tub, closed his eyes, and did not move, letting the hot water soak away all the fatigue.

The indescribable comfort came in from the pores of his body, and he couldn't help but ** a few times.

But just as Cao Yue was enjoying the hot bath very much, he suddenly felt something unexpected, and there seemed to be a very slight sound of footsteps. He thought it was some uninteresting guard, something came in to report, and he slowly opened his eyes, wanting to scold.

But as soon as he opened his eyes, he was startled, and in the dim candlelight, a dark figure rushed quickly in the direction of the bath tub where he was sitting.

"Who?" Cao Yue suddenly snorted and asked in a low voice.

But the black shadow didn't pay attention to it at all, and sped up, and instantly rushed to the edge of the bath where Cao Yue was staying, and the bright and dangling long sword in his hand pointed at Cao Yue.

The instinctive reaction made Cao Yue stand up from the bathtub, ignoring his nakedness, let alone thinking about the cold, he knew that this man in black was coming to assassinate him. How did this man in black appear in the tent, how did he get in, and he had such skills to evade the many guards patrolling outside the tent?

Cao Yue knew that he was in trouble today, he was unarmed, and he was trapped in the bathtub again, and the other party's long sword with a flash of cold light had already stabbed in front of him, and he had almost no power to fight back.

But unexpectedly, the long sword stopped after stabbing a few centimeters in front of Cao Yue's body. The owner of the long sword, the man who was dressed in black, with a black mask and only a pair of eyes exposed, did not stab the sword in his hand directly into Cao Yue's body.

But this still made Cao Yue break out in a cold sweat, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he sat back in the bathtub with a plop, and asked anxiously, "Who is your friend?" Is there anything you need me to help with? If we can, let's sit down and have a good talk. ”

However, to Cao Yue's surprise, the other party ignored his words, the long sword in his hand was still pointed at him, and his two eyes looked at him in a daze.

This look seemed to be a little familiar, but Cao Yue couldn't think of whose eyes it was, his head turned quickly, and suddenly he thought of something, and blurted out: "You are a red lady?" ”
