"What do you want?"

Li San turned his head and looked at Xu Rui viciously.

Xu Rui smiled faintly: "According to the law of Great Wei, what is the crime of framing the imperial court officials?" Oh, exile for three thousand miles, three thousand miles, enough for me to kill you how many times? ”

Li San's face changed slightly, but he still said inwardly: "Hmph, you want to scare me? You're just a little six-pin command experience, thinking you can cover the sky in Dawei? ”

Xu Rui didn't have the heart to quarrel with Xiao Luoluo, and waved his hand: "It's tied." ”

"You!"

Li San still wanted to struggle, but several guards had already pounced on him and pulled out a hemp rope to tie him up.

Liji got dressed, walked out of the door slowly, and saw a group of big men outside the door looking at her, she was not shy, and walked straight to Xu Rui's side and said: "Young master, good means, seeing a crisis, you will be broken by you so three or two times." ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "It's not that I'm clever, it's that the people who laid out the layout have left too many flaws." ”

As he spoke, Xu Rui asked the guards to move the Taishi chair in the main hall to the courtyard, and sat down with a golden sword.

"Huh?"

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Young master, the matter has been resolved, why don't we leave?" ”

Xu Rui glanced at Li San, who was tied into a zongzi, and sneered: "Solution? How can it be solved before the Lord comes? Wait, Zhang Zuofeng hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid he took it upon himself to go back to move the rescuers, just taking advantage of this time to wait for the main owner to come to the door. ”

Liji and the guards listened in a fog, and they didn't know what Xu Rui was thinking, but he said wait, of course the others would not have an opinion, so they really waited in the small courtyard.

After almost a stick of incense, there was a crisp knock on the closed courtyard door, and the corners of Xu Rui's mouth hooked up a chuckle, and he said lightly: "Look, the main lord is here." ”

Several guards were slightly stunned, and hurriedly rushed up to open the hidden courtyard door, the villagers at the door had long since disappeared, and several men walked in with heavy faces.

There were about a dozen people who came, holding swords and being full of gangsterism, and at first glance they were "heroes" in the rivers and lakes.

The man at the head was not tall, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, about less than twenty years old, and there was a cold light in his eyes.

The group of heroes who followed him in obviously looked at him with his horse's head, and when they saw him stop five or six feet in front of Xu Rui, those heroes immediately stood up one after another and stood one step behind him.

Is it forbidden? It seems that this young man has a lot of prestige.

Xu Rui looked at the visitor playfully, his eyes rolled slightly, and he didn't know what he was planning.

Several men saw Xu Rui's gaze sweeping around them defiantly, but they didn't even lift their butts, obviously didn't take them seriously, and a trace of anger flashed on their faces.

The young man didn't have a trace of superfluous emotion, hugged his fist at Xu Rui and said: "Cao Siyuan, the little overlord of Xia Changxing, the adult has a good means, today the brothers admit it, and ask the adult to release my brother, Cao will give the adult an explanation." ”

"Oh?"

Xu Rui slowly sat up straight, playing with the taste: "You framed the imperial court officials, and now you are mermaids, I am afraid that your explanation must be sincere, otherwise how can you make this official raise your noble hand?" By the way, if you spend money to eliminate disasters, don't open your mouth if you don't have 500,000 taels. ”

"What? You kid......

Hearing Xu Rui's tone so loud, several men were immediately furious, but Cao Siyuan waved his hand and signaled everyone to be calm.

A few men suddenly quieted down, Cao Siyuan looked Xu Rui up and down a few times, and sneered: "Lord Xu, I admit that I looked down on you before, but if you think that you have the chance to win, it will be a big mistake."

Although the next plan failed, there was no evidence left, and it was not so easy for you to take us under the knife, not to mention that there were a few friends in the court, not to mention that the adults said how to pinch it. ”

Xu Rui chuckled and said: "Little friend, if I really want to kill someone, I'm afraid that no one will be able to save the entire Northern Dynasty, if you don't believe it, you might as well gamble with me."

Today I will let out the wind, and say that this matter will not be settled, but go to your friends and see if anyone dares to take your money. As for the evidence ......"

Xu Rui glanced at Li San and said with a smile: "Isn't he the evidence?" ”

"Woo ......"

Hearing Xu Rui say this, Li San suddenly struggled violently, but unfortunately his mouth was blocked and he couldn't speak, and the guards on the side thought he was noisy, and a knife handle hit the back of his head, he suddenly rolled his eyes and fainted.

Cao Siyuan turned a blind eye to Li San, stared at Xu Rui with his eyes and said: "I'm afraid that Lord Xu has been in the officialdom for a long time, thinking that the whole world is full of soft bones, and I don't dare to say anything else, my brother Cao will never betray his own people." ”

Xu Rui smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid that if I say anything about torture, you haven't heard of it, so say something you can understand." ”

He took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and said with a smile: "This is the hallucinogens that Mr. Changpo just made, I call it the truth potion, as long as you give your hard-boned brother a smell, he will even tell the scandal of bedwetting when he was a child, but this medicine is not perfect, and I am not sure if he will become an idiot afterwards." ”

Cao Siyuan's pupils shrank, but he calmed down in an instant, and said word by word: "There is no such miracle medicine in the world." ”

Xu Rui shook his head with a smile, didn't explain, stood up and walked towards Li San.

Seeing that he was full of confidence, Cao Siyuan immediately frowned, looked at Li San who was unconscious, a trace of struggle flashed on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Wait!" ”

Xu Rui turned his head and looked at him with a smile.

Cao Siyuan said in a deep voice: "What do you want? ”

"That's right, it's finally a bit like admitting defeat."

Xu Rui slowly sat back in his chair: "I want to know who helped you plan today's event?" Or who are your behind-the-scenes helpers? ”

Cao Siyuan shook his head: "There is no helper, today's matter is planned in the next hand." ”

Xu Rui seemed to believe his words instantly, nodded and said: "Although the means are still a little immature, it is already good to be able to achieve this point, training and training may not be a good seedling, it just so happens that I still lack a personal guard leader, you are cheap, you can report to my camp tomorrow." ”

"What?!"

As soon as he heard this, several men were shocked, and Cao Siyuan's face also turned cold, but he didn't have an immediate attack, as if he was in deep thought.

Xu Rui was not in a hurry, and waited for his reply with confidence.

"I want to ask two questions."

After a while, Cao Siyuan said.

Xu Rui raised his hand and made a gesture of please, "Just ask." ”

Cao Siyuan said: "How did you find out about my plan? Also, why don't you suspect that there is a mastermind behind this? ”

Xu Rui smiled dumbly: "The reason is very simple, because you are not ruthless enough, if the people in the court want to frame me, then the moment I enter this courtyard, I should see corpses all over the ground, how can there be only one ** woman?"

Also, in order to make sure that I would fall into the trap and not be able to turn the tables, they would definitely send a few decent killers to kill all the followers before I entered this courtyard, and how could they just throw a few axes lightly?

Coupled with the fact that you chose the most flawed merchant to enter the city when blocking the door, instead of directly letting the city defense army set up a card, and the unusual gang brawl forced the carriage to be rerouted, these extremely troublesome means made me conclude that the people who planned this matter should have nothing to do with the court, and most of them were people who were involved in the rivers and lakes. ”

"It turns out that the flaws are so ......"

Cao Siyuan nodded and sighed: "It is said that people eat people on the rivers and lakes without spitting out bones, but they are not as ruthless as you officials, Cao Mou has seen it today." ”

Xu Rui shook his head and said: "It's just that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, you and the tiger have been locked up together for a long time, and you have to find a way to eat it, otherwise you will be the one who is eaten."

Okay, I've answered your question, now it's up to you to decide, do you want to be caught by me, or do you want to be my personal guard? ”

Cao Siyuan sighed and shook his head resolutely: "I'm sorry, Cao Mou swore that he would never be an eagle dog of the court in this life, if Lord Xu must be strong, then the brothers can only be offended!" ”

As soon as the words fell, several men behind him suddenly pulled out their knives, as if they were about to pounce on him just for an order.

Not only that, but when I heard that the situation in the courtyard was wrong, not only did more than a dozen people rush in at the gate of the courtyard, but there were also many people squeezing in behind them, not to mention seventy or eighty, even if the four or five guards under Xu Rui were ten or one, it was really not enough to see.

"What, you want to come hard?"

Xu Rui looked at Cao Siyuan with a smile.

Cao Siyuan shook his head: "Cao doesn't want to, if you follow the rules of the road, you should admit defeat if you can't make a plan, but Lord Xu asks Cao to forgive him, and now he can only fight to the death, and wait until he saves Li San and then come to you to ask for guilt." ”

"It's really a righteous little bully......"

Xu Rui shook his head and smiled: "But if you are tough with me, most of them will not end well!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a thin man rushed in outside the door, and said with a panicked expression: "Big boss, it's not good, there are a lot of officers and soldiers outside, wearing strange green armor, and the whole alley is fenced off!" ”

"What?"

The men were shocked when they heard this, and looked at Cao Siyuan with blank eyes, Cao Siyuan's face also changed greatly, and he suddenly looked at Xu Rui.

Xu Rui's face was relaxed, as if Zhizhu was in his hand, but he was relieved in his heart.

Zhang Zuofeng never came back, Xu Rui expected that he would go back to the Apocalypse Guard to move the rescuers, and now calculating the time, the reinforcements should be almost there, so he dared to be so big, if he was a step late, Xu Rui would have to find a way to delay the time.

"You've got it all figured out?"

Cao Siyuan asked coldly with a dark face.

Xu Rui shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal.

The so-called gangs are naturally a rabble in front of the regular army, and if there is a real conflict, they will not be able to eat and walk around if they are not labeled as a rebel.

Cao Siyuan knew that the general trend had gone, gritted his teeth and said: "Let my brother go, one person will do things and one person will be responsible, no matter how you want to vent your anger, you will come to me!" ”

Xu Rui shook his head helplessly: "I have already mentioned the conditions, how to choose is up to Cao Da in charge." ”

"Big boss, why bother talking nonsense with this dog official, it's a big deal to fight with them, brothers will never let you be wronged!"

"Yes, yes, the master, fight with them."

"Shut up!"

Cao Siyuan let out a low snort, and the men suddenly froze on the spot.

Cao Siyuan shook his head solemnly: "Lord Xu, Cao once swore to his teacher that he would never be willing to be an eagle dog in the imperial court......"

"I'm not asking you to be an eagle dog of the imperial court, let alone a corrupt official, but to become a soldier who defends the country, no worse than you heroes, right?"

Without waiting for Cao Siyuan to finish speaking, Xu Rui reminded with a smile.

Cao Siyuan was stunned: "Okay, even so, but it is impossible for Cao to crouch in front of a scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken!" ”

"Oh?"

Xu Rui seemed to be very surprised, and said with a smile: "So, if I win the competition, you will be willing to accept my conditions?" ”

"What? Do you want to compete with me? ”

This time, not only Cao Siyuan, but even the men were stunned.

Although Cao Siyuan is not a martial arts master, he is also a famous teacher, and fighting and killing is commonplace, Xu Rui is a boy and scholar no matter how he looks at it, and he competes with Boss Cao, isn't this asking for hardship?

Xu Rui ignored everyone's astonishment, and said with a smile: "A gambling fight, if you lose, you will obediently be my personal guard, if you win, lead your brother to get out, and take over this matter, how about it?" ”
