Chapter 151: The Unrighteous Old Way
Yanwang Annex.
Zhu Di's face was pale, and he trembled with anger.
People will always encounter many accidents in their lives, but Dao Yan was arrested, but this accident made him unacceptable.
At this moment, Zhu Di had the same thought in his heart as when Dao Yan was arrested: This Jingshi is too back, right? It's not a treasure of feng shui! If I am the emperor in the future, I must move the capital! It's a must!
Cao Yi stood five steps in front of Zhu Di and smiled at him.
Life is so wonderful, when it was already at a dead end, but it came to a peak and a turn, God inexplicably let Dao Yan appear, and he was tied up and sent to the door, and even the effort of running errands to catch him was saved, this situation is like a pie falling from the sky, and it falls directly into people's mouths, it's too worry-free!
Cao Yi smiled calmly, but there was a little excitement in his heart, he felt like a gambler who was so poor that he was about to work as a pants, and after having nothing, he suddenly picked up a bag of money on the road.
Cao Yi felt that he had chips in his hand again, and Xiao Fan's fate seemed to have an extra glimmer of life.
Zhu Di stared at Cao Yi angrily, his eyes about to erupt with fire.
"Cao Yi, let Daoyan go." Zhu Di said majestically, at this moment he seemed to have returned to the Jin Ge Iron Horse, the military tent of Wan Jing, and was issuing military orders to the generals of the hundred households that year. Military orders cannot be questioned and cannot be refused.
Cao Yi smiled, and spit out a word from his mouth briskly but firmly: "No." ”
Zhu Di's face became more and more gloomy: "Cao Yi, do you not recognize the old master now that you have climbed the high branches?" ”
"The old master uses me as a pawn, Gao Zhi treats me as a brother, His Royal Highness King Yan, if you were me, which side would you choose?" Cao Yi smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth.
Zhu Di was stunned, then quickly recovered his nature, and said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do with Dao Yan?" ”
Cao Yi glanced at Xiao Thrush and said with a smile: "What does Your Highness want to do with my brother's wife?" ”
Zhu Di said fiercely: "I'm going to kill her!" ”
Cao Yi showed no weakness: "Then I will kill Dao Yan!" ”
"You dare!" Zhu Di's eyes widened angrily.
Cao Yi laughed: "You dare to kill your own daughter, why don't I dare to kill a monk?" ”
Zhu Di paused, and his face suddenly realized: "Do you want to exchange Dao Yan for her?" ”
Cao Yi sneered: "Dream! I've brought so many people here, even if I swagger out of your Yan King's courtyard, will your guards be able to stop me? ”
Zhu Di's face gradually darkened: "What do you want?" ”
Cao Yi waved his hand at the brocade guards behind him and said, "You escort my younger brothers and sisters back to the house, and then surround the Xiao Mansion to protect my brother's family." - Also, take this monk away and lock it up, and keep it tight. ”
All the Jinyi captains responded with their fists in response, and then pulled the thrush and Dao Yan and walked out.
Xiao Thrush was pulled and staggered, and then glanced back at Zhu Di, his eyes were full of hatred, Zhu Di was trembling by her, and couldn't help but take a step back.
After everyone left, the inner hall of the annex was empty, and only Zhu Di and Cao Yi were left.
Zhu Di flicked the sleeves of his robe and said coldly: "Okay, you can say it directly, what do you want?" ”
Cao Yi smiled: "I don't want to do anything, I just want to make a deal with His Highness." ”
"What kind of deal?"
"How about you restore the title of county lord of the thrush, and I will return the monk to you unscathed?"
Zhu Di sneered: "Are you doing business or blackmailing?" Cao Yi, you have followed this king for so long, do you think this king is like a person who is easy to compromise? ”
Cao Yi's smile is still the same: "The time is also, the situation is also, the country produces heroes, if His Royal Highness does not follow the trend and choose, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the fate of the big waves and sands, and if you can advance and retreat, you are a hero." ”
Zhu Di stared at Cao Yi with sharp eyes: "I know what your idea is, if Chang Ning restores the title of county lord, Xiao Fan who is in prison will be able to save his surname, and his father will not kill him easily, but don't you know that Xiao Fan is my mortal enemy?" Do you think I would be so generous and save the life of my sworn enemy for the sake of a mere monk? Cao Yi, you've been following me for so many years, and you still don't understand me......"
Cao Yi smiled: "This monk is not an ordinary monk, Xiao Fan once told me that this monk is equivalent to your right-hand man, although I don't think so, but this is what Xiao Fan said, I believe it." His Royal Highness King Yan, are you really willing to exchange the price of losing your right hand for the life of your mortal enemy? ”
Zhu Ditie's face was blue, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Dao Yan also told this king, if Xiao Fan is alive, he will become a big trouble for my henchmen, he wants me to get rid of Xiao Fan at all costs, just like you, although I don't think much of his words, but this is what he said, I believe that this king can afford to exchange Dao Yan for Xiao Fan's life!" ”
Cao Yi laughed and said, "The prince is so courageous! But don't forget, Lord Wang, you are now in the capital ......"
Zhu Di's eyelids jumped, and he said calmly: "What do you mean?" ”
Cao Yi smiled, and stared at Zhu Di with eyes as sharp as the tip of a needle: "The prince is willing to exchange the life of the monk Daoyan for Xiao Fan's life, a good deal, Cao Mou will add another note, and use Daoyan and the prince's own life in exchange for Xiao Fan, I don't know if the prince dares to make this deal with Cao?" ”
Zhu Di laughed, as if he had heard a very funny joke: "What ability do you have to decide the surname of this king?" The guards around this king are like clouds, all of them are warriors who have survived a hundred battles, do you want to assassinate me? ”
Cao Yi showed a deep smile: "If the prince doesn't believe it, it is useless for Cao to say more, Ming said that at this time, Cao will come again, the prince is the hero of the world, I believe you have changed your mind Ming Ming, Cao said goodbye!" ”
After saying that, Cao Yi turned around and left, Zhu Di looked at Cao Yi's burly and firm back, his expression gradually became solemn, recalling the deep smile on Cao Yi's face just now, Zhu Di shuddered for no reason.
"Someone!"
"In!"
"Tonight, guards will be sent to patrol the courtyard, and everyone will be on standby, patrolling the courtyard of this king all night!"
"Yes!"
Out of the gate of the Yanwang Courtyard, Cao Yi strode towards the Xiao Mansion.
He was rejoicing as he walked, fortunately he came early today, and fortunately someone caught Dao Yan inexplicably, which allowed him to grasp a little bit of bargaining chips, otherwise not only Xiao Thrush was in danger today, but his situation was also dangerous. If he failed to protect Xiao Thrush, how could he have the face to face Xiao Fan when he came out in the future?
He came in a hurry just now, and he didn't ask who caught Dao Yan in detail, Cao Yi was grateful to that person from the bottom of his heart, and he decided that after this matter was over, he must come to the door in person and thank him well.
The top priority now is to force King Yan to recognize his daughter, only when the title of the county lord of Changning is restored and he successfully becomes the granddaughter of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven will not force Xiao Fan to divorce his wife, and Xiao Fan's life will be saved.
How can I make King Yan recognize his daughter? The soft method has been used, but it doesn't work, and King Yan doesn't eat this set. It's time to try the hard way. There are always some people in this world who belong to candles, and they are not lit or lit, and the same is true for those who are as noble as kings.
Cao Yi thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered a person, to be precise, it should be two people.
Maybe they will get a miracle when they go out.
At that moment, Cao Yi no longer hesitated and hurried to Xiao's Mansion.
Cao Yi was a frequent visitor to the Xiao Mansion, and after entering the door, the subordinates saluted him one after another.
Cao Yi didn't have time to answer, and after asking a few words with a subordinate, he hurried to the garden on the left side of the front yard.
As soon as I approached the garden, I heard a scream from the flowers. The cry is very familiar, and it is clearly too empty and old-fashioned.
Cao Yi was taken aback, Taixu was a master in his heart, what kind of encounter could make a master in the world so miserable?
When he got closer, Cao Yi opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.
I saw that Zhang Sanfeng, who had just been named a real person by the Son of Heaven, was playing Tai Chi, and the one who was beaten was Taixu.
I saw Zhang Sanfeng holding his left hand, his right hand ringing the moon, and between the shaking of his arm shadow, one after another seemingly empty circle was drawn layer upon layer in mid-air, one ring after another, the movement seemed to be slow, but in fact it was as fast as lightning, and Xiao Fan's poor master was too empty, and in the circle drawn by Zhang Sanfeng, he was like a flat boat in the angry sea, constantly enduring the stormy waves, the old face with a blue nose and swollen face was extremely distorted due to pain, and his mouth was wide open, and he only had time to let out one scream after another.
Cao Yi was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.
A mountain is higher than a mountain, and those who can make the world's masters scream out are of course those who are higher than the world's masters...... Such a world-class, invincible two peerless masters, how could those guards in the Yan King's courtyard block their blow? Xiao Fan's surname may fall on these two people...... provided that Zhang Sanfeng can show mercy to his subordinates now and don't beat Taixu to death.
"Ahh I...... I was wrong! I don't dare anymore......" Taixu finally couldn't stand it anymore, and begged for mercy in the Tai Chi circle.
Zhang Sanfeng's subordinates did not stop at all, and shouted angrily in their mouths: "Bastard thing! After living for more than a hundred years, you think that no one in this world can control you, right? Poor Dao worked hard to deceive the belly pocket of the fairy girl of the Dark Fragrance Building, you dare to steal it, just steal it, you damn miscellaneous hair will throw it away after playing with it, do you know how difficult it is for Poor Dao to deceive this belly pocket? ”
"That thing smells like a fox...... "Tai Wai wailed and defended.
"Poor road is good for this mouthful! It's your business! The more you talk, the more angry you become, eat me two more punches! Zhang Sanfeng was so angry that he became more and more ruthless.
Cao Yi stood far away outside the garden with a shocked expression, covered in cold sweat...... After finishing the work, Zhang Sanfeng kicked Taixu who was lying on the ground and moaning weakly, and said angrily: "After studying for more than a hundred years, I can't even take a hundred tricks from the poor road, useless things!" Go back to your room and retreat! ”
After speaking, Zhang Sanfeng shook his sleeves fiercely, and left angrily.
After Zhang Sanfeng walked for a long time, Taixu groaned and got up from the ground with difficulty, and the scars on his body made him grin from time to time and hissed for cool air.
At this time, Cao Yi dared to step forward, smiled at Taixu friendly, his expression was both respectful and awe-inspiring, I don't know whether he was in awe of Zhang Sanfeng's superb skills, or in awe of Taixu's extraordinary mortal kung fu.
Tai Xuan groaned for a while, his expression was very embarrassed, he raised his godless eyes and looked at Cao Yi, his lips trembled a few times, and he looked like he was about to cry and said, "...... Nephew Cao Xian, you saw it all just now, right? ”
Cao Yi hurriedly said respectfully: "See, the old fairy has suffered......
Taixu sighed and said sadly: "Miserable! Beat me up for a stinky belly pocket......"
Cao Yi rarely dragged a sentence of comfort and comforted: "People have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and no one has a ...... in this matter."
Taixu glared at him: "...... It's hard to do it all! ”
"Yes, yes."
"Are you coming to me or looking for that old thing? By the way, what happened to Xiao Fan in prison? You just said that he lived in it very comfortably, and no matter how comfortable he lived, it was still a prison cell, and he couldn't live in it for the rest of his life, right? "It's too void to care about the apprentice once.
Cao Yi saw that Taixu took the initiative to get to the point, and hurriedly said: "Old immortal, your apprentice Xiao Fan is in trouble now, maybe he will be beheaded by the Son of Heaven in a few days, and now the little nephew is here to invite the old immortal and ...... The old fairy came out of the mountain and saved your apprentice's life! ”
Taixu Old Man was shocked and said, "What's the matter?" Last time you told me that Xiao Fan was only in prison for a few days and came out, why was he going to be beheaded again? What trouble did he do? ”
Cao Yi was a little speechless, he lived for more than a hundred years, can't you even tell the difference between comfort words and truth?
At the moment, Cao Yi had no choice but to explain the matter between Xiao Fan and the county lord of Jiangdu, as well as Xiao Fan's offense to Tianyan, and the fact that the thrush must restore the title of the county lord.
Taixu was stunned for a long time when he heard this, then slapped his thigh, and said angrily: "Poor Dao told him a long time ago, and recently said that he would have a big murderer, and this bastard has never taken Poor Dao's words to heart......"
Looking sideways at Cao Yi, he looked too weak and guarded: "You said you want me to save him?" How to save? Won't you let me rob the Jinyi Guard's edict? ”
Cao Yi hurriedly smiled: "How come? Isn't that a crime against the old immortals? The little nephew is not such a person who does not know how to advance and retreat, the old fairy only needs to scare someone......"
Taixu breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled lightly: "It turns out that it's just to scare people, it's too simple, I don't dare to say anything else, I steal chickens and dogs and knock on stuffy sticks and stumble under the poor road, let's say, who to scare?" ”
"King Yan."
Tai Xu's smile suddenly froze...... "Yan ...... King Yan? Taixu's face turned a little blue.
"Yes, as long as the old immortal sneaks into the courtyard of King Yan, and then scares and scares him, King Yan's surname is threatened, so he has to recognize Xiao Thrush as a woman and restore her title as the county lord, so that Xiao Fan will be saved......"
Tai Xu's eyes turned his head to look at Cao Yi blankly: "...... Isn't it a violation of the king's law to scare King Yan? ”
"Of course!" Cao Yi added with a smile: "...... But the crime is slightly less serious than the robbery of prisons. ”
Taixu's old face twitched a few times, and then said very seriously: "Nephew Cao Xian......"
"The little nephew is here."
"Poor Dao is a monk, I never thought about rebellion, let alone scaring a prince......"
At this point, Taixu finally realized that he was a monk who should not ask about the world.
Cao Yi hurriedly said: "But Xiao Fan's life is on the line, if the old immortal doesn't make a move, who in the world can save him?" ”
The more he was afraid, the darker he became, he thought about it, and said cautiously: "Why don't you ...... Poor Dao draws him a peace charm, right? Poor Dao is very good at drawing talismans, and it is much better than scaring people......"
Cao Yi: "............"
People in the world become monks and Taoists, some because of faith, some because of avoiding disasters, and some because of livelihood, Cao Yi now understands that Taixu must have become a monk because of timidity.
Taixu looked at Cao Yi's unfriendly face with some guilt, and said with a dry smile: "Amitayus Buddha...... The monks don't participate in the red dust, I ...... Hehe, by the way, my senior brother just told me to go into retreat, maybe for three or five years, so ...... The poor path went into retreat first, and I will see you again after three years and five years......"
With a whoosh, the too void figure turned into a cloud of black smoke and ran away without a shadow.
With great disappointment, Cao Yi came to the edict with a sad face, and then detailed the progress of rescuing him in the last two days.
Xiao Fan opened his mouth wide and exclaimed: "I can't imagine that the protagonist is locked up in prison and has no role, and the supporting roles outside can still live so exciting......"
Cao Yi said with a calm face: "Now there is good news and a bad news, which one do you listen to first?" ”
Xiao Fan sighed and said, "There has been too much bad news recently, let me listen to it first." ”
"The good news is that as long as King Yan is forced to recognize the thrush and restore her title of county lord, your surname can be kept temporarily, the main reason why the Son of Heaven wants to kill you is because you are unwilling to divorce your civilian wife and marry the county lord of Jiangdu, if your civilian wife suddenly becomes the county lord of Changning, the granddaughter of the Son of Heaven, then your crime will not be established, there is no absurd thing in this world to divorce a county lord to marry another county lord, and the Son of Heaven has nothing to do with you. Moreover, the two granddaughters of the Son of Heaven have made a lifelong agreement with you, and if he wants to kill you, he will definitely be jealous, and no one wants his granddaughter to be a widow, and there are two widows at the same time. ”
Xiao Fan scratched his head: "You said it a little twisted, but I can basically understand the meaning...... What's the bad news? ”
Cao Yi said with a gloomy expression: "The bad news is: only your master and uncle can do this matter of forcing King Yan to recognize his daughter, and your master is unwilling." ”
Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment, then jumped up angrily, his neck was bruised, and he scolded at the sky: "This old bastard! Old and immortal! Return Master, I'm bah! Is there such a master for apprentices? What a ruthless heart! The world is hot and cold, human affection is weak, and righteousness and conscience are eaten by dogs......"
Xiao Fan rarely scolded excitedly for a long time, and then gradually calmed down, he had a gloomy face, and said: "Ming said that Yang Shangshu of the Criminal Department is going to personally try my case, Yang Shangshu is famous for his iron-faced selflessness, I am afraid that he will condemn me as soon as I pass the court, so we are running out of time, and we must force King Yan to recognize the thrush tonight!" ”
"Your master is unwilling to make a move, what should I do?" Cao Yi said distressedly.
Xiao Fan thought for a while and said, "The old guy is lustful, you go and seduce him!" ”
Cao Yi was shocked: "Me? ”
Xiao Fan glared at him: "You spent money to invite the girl from the Qinglou to seduce him!" ”
Cao Yi breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you......"
Immediately, Cao Yi frowned again and said, "But your master and uncle have already retreated......"
Xiao Fan said disdainfully: "Shut up the bird!" You tell the girls to snort twice outside the door of his retreat, and the old fellow must have come out like a fishy cat. ”
"What if you can't be tempted?"
Xiao Fan said viciously: "Then a fire will burn down the house where he is retreating!" Look that old guy can't get out! ”
Cao Yi stared straight and said, "But ...... That's your house. ”
"I'm dying, why do I need a house?"
"Makes sense......" Cao Yi pondered for a moment, then his face was full of fierceness, patted his chest and said excitedly: "Brother, you just look at it, I will burn your house clean, and there is no scum left......
Xiao Fan's face twitched a few times, and he said with a bitter face: "...... Why do I hear this so awkwardly? ”
