It is said that the sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk.

In the evening, the snack street is gilded with a faint golden glow by the sky, and there is an indescribable beauty among the people coming and going.

Cao Man took Zhang Wenxue through the streets and alleys, and the hawkers were like storytellers in a teahouse who tore their throats to drink, and it was very lively.

They first ate the chicken called flower.

The flower chicken actually looks similar to the roast chicken, and it is also a type of roast chicken, but I don't know how many times more delicious than the roast chicken.

Those seasonings that penetrate deep into the chicken tend to make people drool, and the aroma seduces one's taste buds.

After the meal, Cao Man was about to take Zhang Wenxue back to the "Tianlong Tower", but met an uninvited guest.

A girl dressed in red.

The girl is only a few years older than Cao Man and Zhang Wenxue, but her aura is completely different from Cao Man and Zhang Wenxue.

In her, there is no question that should be asked at this age, and there is only a chilling coldness.

That cold feeling is death.

"God killer Xu Ying, long time no see. Cao Man stopped and said suddenly.

When Cao Man stopped, the woman in red also stopped and said, "I can't imagine that someone like Cao Man, you, will also go shopping with little girls, and the object is still our hostage." ”

Cao Man said: "This is my friend, I happened to encounter this matter, and in my hands, I should take care of it." ”

Xu Ying said: "What if her father can't pay back the fifth master's money?"

Cao Man said: "Naturally, things are done according to the rules. ”

At this time, Xu Ying suddenly laughed and said, "Since Cao Man is so selfless, why don't you hand over this little girl to me for a few days?"

Cao Man frowned: "No need, my own hostage, I can bring it myself." ”

Xu Ying said: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will be merciful and ruin the affairs of the martial master." ”

Cao Man said: "After so many years, have you seen when I have ever been soft-hearted?"

Xu Ying didn't speak, but the corners of her lips were slightly raised, a little bewitching, although it was heartwarming, but it was even more terrifying.

Just in an instant, as soon as her body moved, she turned into a red shadow and went directly towards Zhang Wenxue.

As the twelve evil stars of the "Tianlong Gang", Cao Man knows Xu Ying's character very well, so he can predict when she will make a move in advance, and at the moment when her body moves, Cao Man also moves.

He came to Zhang Wenxue's side and stopped in front of Zhang Wenxue.

Xu Ying and Cao Man looked at each other and confronted each other.

These two are the twelve evil stars of the "Tianlong Tower", Cao Man and Xu Ying seem to have some kind of tacit understanding, even if they make a move, they will shoot almost at the same time.

Xu Ying's target was still Zhang Wenxue, and when she just punched with lightning speed, she was easily stopped by Cao Man.

At this time, Xu Ying was very smart, and began to attack Cao Man with her backhand, kicking Cao Man below with a flirtatious kick.

Cao Man immediately pressed down with both hands, blocked Xu Ying's flirting yin sect with lightning speed, and turned his backhand into a claw, towards Xu Ying's incomparably white neck.

There are a lot of people in the snack street, and at this time, the two teenagers are on par, and their kung fu is good, and there are indeed some fancy sights, so there are many onlookers.

But Xu Ying didn't care either, and continued to shoot at Zhang Wenxue, while Cao Man still saw the move.

When he was about to clasp Xu Yingxiang's neck, Xu Ying suddenly folded his hands and swept upward, taking advantage of a backflip to kick Cao Man's jaw.

Cao Man's palm blocked his jaw downward, but Xu Ying's force was too great, but he directly kicked it down and withdrew.

At this time, Xu Ying did not continue to pursue Cao Man, but attacked Zhang Wenxue with a killer.

Seeing this, Cao Man's face suddenly changed, and his temperament also changed.

At this time, he gave people the feeling that he was no longer a well-mannered young man, but a god of death from hell.

But he didn't continue to shoot at Xu Ying, but said coldly: "Do you really want to force me to be serious,?"

When Xu Ying heard this, she suddenly stopped for some reason.

She looked at Cao Manqiao and smiled: "Xiao Tianji, who dares if you are serious, only the martial master can suppress the anger in your heart." ”

Cao Man said: "Don't touch my bottom line,." ”

When Xu Ying heard this, she smiled and said, "One day, can I be your bottom line?"

......

......

The sun has set over the mountains, the moon has disappeared into the clouds, and the stars are still twinkling.

Cao Man and Zhang Wenxue walked side by side under the moonlight, and the moonlight was a little moving.

"Why, when you said you were serious, that young lady left and stopped fighting?" Zhang Wenxue looked at Cao Man's delicate and fair face in the moonlight and asked curiously.

Cao Man said: "Because in the Tianlong Gang, no one likes me to be serious, unless when I am doing things, Wu Ye likes me to be serious." ”

Zhang Wenxue asked again: "Why?"

Cao Man smiled and said, "Because when I do things seriously, I can often do things well." ”

......

......

After Cao Man sent Zhang Wenxue back to Tianlong Tower, he went to see Chen Wu alone.

"Heavenly Killer Star" must have said a lot of bad things in front of Wu Ye, and he was willing to be dealt with by the family law, but he was not afraid, many years ago, blood and fire had cast him into steel and iron bones, and he was already numb to pain and many things.

It is not so much that he is a person who dies in the abyss in his dreams and his heart is buried in darkness, but that he is a tool to do things for Chen Wu.

But Chen Wuxing may also be afraid, one day this tool will have its own thoughts.

Xing Cao Man himself didn't know that his thoughts had never been annihilated, he had never been a tool of Chen Wu, but a living person, and he was also a young man with great potential.

When he protected Zhang Wenxue, that kind of thought had already been revealed.

You may be able to imprison a person's mind, but you can't erase a person's mind.

Chen Wu was not in Tianlong Tower.

He likes to live in his own courtyard.

It was a large courtyard house, where he and his aunts, a son, and daughters lived.

Cao Man has followed Chen Wu since he was a child, and he is naturally familiar with other courtyards.

The annex is quiet today, which means that something is going to happen.

If this matter is related to Cao Man, then Cao Man will be in some trouble.

At this time, Chen Wu was practicing calligraphy in the study.

Cao Man asked Chen Wu before, why does he always like to stay in the study, writing those calligraphy over and over again, won't he get tired?

Chen Wu smiled and said: "Whenever you write calligraphy on a major event, you can calm down." ”

Cao Man didn't understand what it meant before, but later Cao Man understood the subtlety.

If a person in a position of higher authority is happy and angry when he hears a big thing, he will easily be caught by the enemy on his weakness, and practicing calligraphy can hone a person's heart.

When Cao Man stepped into Chen Wu's study, Chen Wu was practicing calligraphy.

Chen Wu is a celebrity in Jingcheng, and it can be said that he is one of the few major figures in Jingcheng who covers the sky with one hand, and he relies on the number one warlord in Yunzhou behind him.

Such a person naturally has many legends.

But if you meet Chen Wu himself, you will find that this is just a very ordinary man in his forties, a little short, wearing a simple white coat, holding his head high, and slightly gentle.

Cao Man walked behind Chen Wu, saluted and said, "Father-in-law." ”

Chen Wu said: "Zhang Wenxue is your friend?"

"Yes. Cao Man thought to himself when he heard this, sure enough, it was the mouthy eighth woman of the Heavenly Killing Star who came to tell the martial master everything, and added oil and vinegar.

Chen Wu said: "Aman, I hope that there are some things, you have to do business, but I can also give you face, if Zhang Congwen still can't pay, I can give a few more days." ”

Cao Man said: "No need for Wu Ye, Zhang Congwen will definitely pay back, I promise, if I don't come out, I will definitely not be merciful." ”

Chen Wu smiled: "I didn't mean that, I just wanted to tell you that some things don't have to be too serious, it's not good to be too serious." ”

Cao Man frowned and did not speak.

In fact, he was also a little shaken when he said that Zhang Congwen would never be merciful if he did not return Chen Wuqian.

He asked himself without asking himself, if Zhang Congwen really couldn't pay the money, would he really be able to do it and not be merciful?

However, at this time, Chen Wu didn't care, and then said: "This Thursday, that is, the thirteenth birthday of the daughter of General Dong Gui's family the day after tomorrow, will you go with me?"

Cao Man was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Why don't you let the young master go?"

Chen Wu said: "Those occasions are a bit complicated, and I am afraid that he will not be able to cope with them. ”

Cao Man nodded, but sighed in his heart, thinking: In fact, at some point, he is also the young master's substitute ghost, if the young master goes, with the people Chen Wu has offended in Jingcheng for so many years, what if there is something long, what if there is something long, what if he is assassinated, it doesn't matter if he goes by himself, thinking of this, he can only smile bitterly, it is really a motherless child like a grass.

......

......

Dong Gui is the number one warlord in Yunzhou, and he is extremely famous in the entire Jin Dynasty, and Jingcheng Chen Wu is one of Dong Gui's legs, what this leg is doing specifically for Dong Gui, no one knows, even Cao Man's direct cronies, they only know a little.

The provincial capital of Yunzhou is in a place called "Spring City".

Spring City is more luxurious than Jingcheng, but it is not much better than Jingcheng.

Dong Gui's daughter's thirteenth birthday was not held in the General's Mansion, but in the No. 1 Restaurant in Spring City, the Bliss Building, and the owner of the Bliss Building has never been in harmony with Chen Wu.

And Cao Man probably knew better why such a party would suddenly take him without the young son, and after the eight women of the Heavenly Killing Star added oil and vinegar to frame themselves, Chen Wu not only did not get angry and deal with himself, but was willing to sell his favor, so it turned out.

The Bliss Building is much more luxurious than the Tianlong Tower, and it looks more magnificent than the luxury of a place.

On Dong Gui's daughter's birthday, there were countless troops around the Paradise Building, and even the governor of Yunzhou came to accompany him personally.

Cao Man followed Chen Wu to the front of the Bliss Building, and in front of those dignitaries, he looked a little short.

Not mental dwarf, but dwarf in something.

Dong Gui's daughter is called Dong Jia, and it can be said that Dong Gui's pearl is in the palm of his hand.

Dong Gui is also a peculiar person, in a country like the Jin Dynasty, everyone loves men rather than women, and she favors this daughter rather than the five boys in the family.

Chen Wu respectfully handed over his invitation to the soldiers, and then took Cao Man inside.

Cao Man, who was dominating in Jingcheng, came to this Bliss Building, and compared with the countless tycoons in Yunzhou, it seemed a little insignificant.

Especially those cronies under Dong Gui, they are obviously at a higher level than Chen Wu.

Therefore, Chen Wu, as the overlord of the Jingcheng side, came to the Bliss Building, and he was only worthy of taking Cao Man to sit in a medium-level position.

After a while, the banquet began, and an iron-blooded man in military uniform led a little girl in a floral dress onto the stage.

The man has no characteristics, but he has an extremely strong warrior temperament, which cannot be learned.

It was sharpened on the battlefield, in the artillery fire, in the pile of dead people, and in the rain of bullets.

The little girl in the flower dress is much better looking than Zhang Wenxue, and she can be regarded as a real exquisite, fairy.

It attracted the attention of everyone present for a while.

Chen Wu smiled: "It's good-looking, right?"

Cao Man nodded, he never hesitated to appreciate the beauty of others, nor did he refute the correct things because of his own opinions, he could look at anyone from an objective point of view.

Therefore, he is the number one secret weapon in the Tianlong Tower.

Chen Wu continued: "I want him to be my daughter-in-law, but you also know how uncompetitive your third brother Chen is, alas, it is really painstaking. ”

Cao Man frowned, this Chen Wu seemed to want to fight the idea of General Dong Gui's own daughter.

Chen Wu said: "Actually, this Dong Jia is on par with San'er, if San'er is a little more competitive, there is a chance, so I want you to have time to teach San'er." ”

Cao Man was stunned, pointed to his nose and said in disbelief: "I teach the young master to chase girls?"

Chen Wu shook his head and said, "It's not to help the young master chase girls, but to teach the young master people's hearts." ”

The human heart is the most complex and difficult thing in the world to learn, and if you can see through the human heart, you can grasp the human heart.

If Cao Man is the most powerful, of course, it is not his martial arts, but his understanding and mastery of people's hearts.

Just like when he collected the debt, a few words brought Zhang Congwen, who was ready to fight for his life, back to reality, from an outlaw to a person with scruples.

......

......

After General Dong Gui led his daughter Dong Jia to the stage, all the eyes in the Bliss Building were on the father and daughter, one was the overlord of the party who had experienced a hundred battles and had a good power, and the other was a young lady who was born with a good skin and a good family.

General Dong Gui was very happy, and everyone gave him face at today's birthday banquet, so he came to the stage and said: " Thank you relatives and friends for attending my beloved daughter Dong Jia's thirteenth birthday party, she is my pearl in the palm of my hand, I regard it as a treasure, there is nothing in this world that can be more important than her in my heart, so some people don't think that I make a fuss about her thirteenth birthday, in fact, no, I am specifically to tell everyone that this is my baby, no one can despise him, disrespect him, or even make him unhappy, not even myself. ”
