With the news that King Chang betrayed the Wang family with one blow, and that Fu Junwu, a disciple of the great master of Goguryeo Cailin, worked for the first emperor, the small families who were still sneaking away from the city no longer had the slightest cover.

When the rout becomes a torrent, no one can stop it.

Not long after, the news that Wang Shangwen, the head of the Wang family, hung up on the southeast branch, made the little family, who was still a little hesitant, have no scruples. Even the Wang family among the three surnames has fallen, and who else can compete with the first emperor. With the Cao family alone, can he do it?

No one doubts that with the fall of the Wang family, the fall of the Cao family is only a matter of time, and no one doubts that the first emperor will take action against the Cao family. This family alliance was originally led by the Cao and Wang families, and after the defeat, anyone could escape the punishment of the First Emperor, but the Cao and Wang families would never escape.

In a luxurious mansion in Changping, Cao sat calmly in the study, holding an ancient bamboo slip from the Spring and Autumn Period. Opposite him, an old housekeeper looked nervous and said in a low voice: "Master, the head of the Wang family hanged himself. ”

Cao Gong's hand paused, and then said indifferently: "Got it." ”

His demeanor was indifferent, as if he had just heard dispensable news. The peace of mind is not the slightest agitation of the possibility of facing death.

At least the steward of the Cao family couldn't help but be stunned in the face of Cao Gong's indifferent attitude.

The fall of the Cao family is a huge blow to the Cao family, and to some extent, it also indicates the future of the Cao family. Even if he was just an ordinary steward of the Cao family, he could imagine who the First Emperor would attack next.

But in the face of the impending disaster, Cao Gong was too calm, and his calmness was incomprehensible.

"Somebody has to make a sacrifice, doesn't it?" Cao Gong casually glanced at the steward with a confused face, and his voice was flat and undulating. His words without a beginning or tail made the steward even more puzzled, but when the steward saw Cao Gong's attitude, he also knew that it was impossible for the other party to explain to a small person. He didn't ask, didn't dare to stay in the room, and respectfully withdrew.

On that day, all kinds of things that happened in Pyeongchang City spread to all parts of the world at an incredible speed. At this time, the Great Zhou Chang'an, which gathered the largest number of young talents in Kyushu, naturally paid great attention to everything that happened in Pyeongchang City.

Chang'an, Pawn Bureau, an independent house.

Several sons of the Li family sat around a crimson table of eight immortals, on which was placed an incense burner of bronze golden toad, and green smoke swirled from the incense burner, like a gray swimming dragon. Next to the incense burner, there is also a short letterhead, which is the latest news from the Great Jin.

Li Yuanji put down the letterhead and frowned: "The heads of the Cao and Wang families hanged themselves, and the Xiao, Liu, Yang and other families were destroyed. Damn, I thought they could involve the energy of the First Emperor, but I didn't expect it to be so useless. ”

"It's not that they're useless, it's that they underestimate the determination of the First Emperor." Li Shimin shook his head slightly, as if he was emotional, as if he was sighing.

He asked himself, if he sat in that position, in the face of the joint sanctions of the world's families, he would definitely not be as ruthless and decisive as Mo Chen. This matter seems easy, but if any link is missed, it will inevitably provoke the world's backlash, and even if the first emperor relies on the invincible cultivation of the world to suppress the world's family, the Great Jin Dynasty has no power to return to the sky.

However, in this almost insoluble situation, the First Emperor made a decision beyond everyone's imagination, quickly cut through the chaos and broke the ambition of the family alliance, and turned the tide and shocked the crowd with incredible and crazy means.

Li Shimin can completely imagine that from now on, no one in the Great Jin Dynasty will dare to resist the First Emperor.

"It's just a pity for Cao Gong." Li Jiancheng glanced at the last sentence of the letterhead, the people in charge of the Cao family in this battle have all fled from the Great Jin, and someone has found traces of the Cao family on the border of the Great Zhou, and sighed.

"What do you mean by that, brother?" Li Yuanji's face was full of doubts, and he didn't know what Li Jiancheng meant.

The two families of Cao Wang were destroyed, and almost half of the three surnames of the Great Jin Dynasty were destroyed, and the Cao family was able to escape some of the people in charge, which was already a blessing in misfortune, why was Cao Gong a little pity?

If it was usual, even if Li Yuanji didn't understand, he would definitely not speak in front of the two brothers. But since the news of Wu Meiniang's recruitment competition came out, Li Yuanji is like a different person, immersed in the ocean of learning all day long, and he can't extricate himself, which is completely different from Li Yuanji, who used to love cockfighting, dog walking, and prostitution.

Nowadays, whenever he encounters a problem, Li Yuanji will never give up until he finds the answer.

"Cao Gong is looking for death." Li Jiancheng sighed, showing admiration.

The fact that the principal of the Cao family was able to escape shows that Cao Gong has already seen today's scene. Since he had seen it, he still went to Pyeongchang to die, not because he was lucky, but because he understood that someone in the Cao family had to shed blood, and someone had to sacrifice himself to embellish the throne of the first emperor.

This person's status can't be too low, otherwise it will definitely not be able to calm the anger of the First Emperor.

Since Cao Gong is dead, even if the other principals of the Cao family flee to other countries, the First Emperor will definitely not continue to pursue and kill endlessly. Because Cao Gong is the banner of the Cao family and the face of the Cao family, when he died, the first emperor had already completed his layout and goals.

And Cao Gong knew that he would die, but he still used his life to win a way for the Cao family. With such sentiments, how can Li Jiancheng not admire.

The more Li Yuanji listened, the more confused he became, and he always felt that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the two brothers. It's just that he saw that Li Jiancheng didn't mean to continue to say more, so he didn't want to continue to ask, so he diverted the topic and said: "There are three days left, which is the time for the first exam, I don't know how the two brothers are prepared?" ”

When Li Shimin and the others heard this, they came back to their senses from their contemplation. The two looked at each other without moving, and then said indifferently almost in unison: "It's okay." ”

The corners of Li Yuanji's mouth twitched slightly, and he rolled his eyes weakly.

For Shang Ke in the mouths of the two brothers, he naturally understood what it meant. It shows that they are already sure, at least absolutely sure of the first attempt.

Faced with the sudden exam, Li Yuanji regretted for the first time that he had not learned and had no skills, and he had not listened to the teachings of the old masters at the beginning. When he thought of his first test three days later, he couldn't help but feel a little tingling in his scalp.

If God gives me another chance, I must study hard and improve every day!

was inadvertently hit by the two brothers, and Li Yuanji had no interest in paying attention to the changes in Dajin. He confessed and hurriedly turned away, already eagerly immersed in the ocean of learning.

"The first emperor pacified the Great Jin, and the time of stability is not long." Li Jiancheng played with a celadon tea cup in his hand, his eyes were staring at the patterns on it, and his voice was a little heavy.

"The First Emperor has cleaned up the family inside, and he will start a war within half a year at the latest, and there is really not much time left for us. But half a year is enough. Li Shimin frowned, and his voice was steady and fearless.

When Li Jiancheng heard the second half of his sentence, he raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't say much.

He naturally understood what the so-called half a year was enough, what it meant.

Wu Meiniang!

Now those who have Wu Meiniang have a chance to compete with the first emperor and have a chance to win the world. And half a year is enough for Da Zhou to complete this competition and recruit relatives, and at the same time complete the integration of forces of all parties.
