Chapter 425: Old Madam Cao

At this time, Liang Houzai also came in over the wall, and he also saw the scene of the man walking down from the bulldozer, and immediately said to me: "He is the driver of the bulldozer, and he will definitely return the car keys before leaving work." ”

I nodded, motioning for Liang Houzai to be quiet.

It wasn't until after the driver left the shack that Liu Shangang and Luo Fei came to me one after another, and Xian'er was the last to come in because she was responsible for controlling the wind.

Liang Houzai wanted to take a look at the shack, and I shook my head and motioned for him to wait.

I waited until all the lights in the coal yard were extinguished, and the sound of the iron door being pulled in the distance, before I quickly swooped down towards the shack.

I guess the driver left the key in the shack.

When I dived, Liang Houzai and they all followed me, several people acted at the same time, the target was large, it was easy to be spotted, but fortunately there were no people along the way, until we all gathered outside the door of the shack, nothing happened.

I first put my face on the door and listened to the movement in the shack, it was very quiet inside, there should be no one, and Liu Shangang also nodded at me at this time.

I took a deep breath and tried to turn the doorknob, but I didn't expect the door to be hidden and opened open with a light touch.

But at the moment of opening the door, a silver light suddenly flashed in front of my eyes, I was already nervous, holding the hilt of the green steel sword, as soon as this light appeared, I pulled out the green steel sword as fast as I could, and blocked forward.

Something very hard collided with the green steel sword, making a crisp sound of "dang", and at the same time there was a strong impact, and the tiger's mouth holding the green steel sword was slightly numb.

Since it was dark in the room and the lights were out in the courtyard, I didn't see exactly what was coming at me, but I had taken a quick step back when I was parrying with my sword, watching out for movement in the door.

Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang also became nervous, and the two of them stood on both sides of the door, also paying full attention to the movements in the room.

But after the attack just now, the room suddenly fell silent, and there was not even a sound.

I glanced at Xian'er, and Xian'er immediately understood, and she quickly took out the fox fire lantern and threw it into the house along the crack in the door.

The faint green light of the fire immediately dispelled the darkness in the room, and then I saw a spirited old woman standing in the room, who was staring coldly at us outside the door, and in her hand, holding a pair of ...... A pair of Wu hooks!

I immediately guessed the old woman's identity, but before I could speak, she swung a pair of hooks at me.

I heard the old man Wei say that the eldest lady of the Cao family worked hard when she was young, and I thought he meant that after the eldest lady got older, she no longer had the grace she used to have, but now I realized that I was wrong, most of them were wrong!

Although the old lady is old, the speed of the shot is still very fast, and after the two Wu hooks were waved by her, they actually rowed towards me in two different directions, the left hand Wu Hook attacked the three ways, and the right hand Wu Hook attacked my lower plate.

In fact, I can block such an attack, but because the other party should be the eldest lady of the Cao family I am looking for, and I am afraid that the strength of the sword will be too strong and hurt the old man, I can only use the sword to block the Wu hook on her left hand first, and at the same time quickly retreat to avoid her attack range.

She shot at the same time, and the two Wu hooks failed at the same time, and after I withdrew more than three meters away, I hurriedly spoke: "Is it the eldest lady of the Cao family?" ”

The old lady held the Wu hook upside down and kicked me from a distance, but she didn't answer my question, but just said to me hatefully: "You were invited by Zhao Dekai to kill me, right?" Hmph, young man, don't underestimate my old bones, if you want to move me, you have to have that ability! ”

Taking advantage of the time to speak, I quickly put away the green steel sword, showing that I was not hostile.

When the old lady saw that I had put away my weapon, a trace of doubt appeared on her face.

I said to her from afar: "We are not Zhao Dekai's people, we came this time to be entrusted by the Baiwu Mountain Sect." ”

In this case, I can only say that I came to her on the commission of the old master.

The fierceness in the old lady's eyes dissipated a little, but she still stared at me with a wary gaze, and did not say a word.

I took out the letter that the old master had given me from my pocket, and threw it at the old lady like a spirit talisman, and the old lady reached out to catch it, and then I said, "This is the letter that the senior in charge of the sect entrusted me to bring, and he said that you recognize his handwriting. ”

The old lady looked at me warily for a moment, then retreated into the house and closed the door.

I know she was afraid that we would attack her while she was reading the letter, so she kept us out.

After about five or six minutes, the old lady's voice came from the room: "Come in." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief and took the lead in pushing the door into the house.

At this time, the old lady had already lit the electric lamp in the house, and Xian'er quickly put away her fox lantern when she entered the house.

Under the slightly dim light, the old lady's slender eyes still reveal a majesty, this majesty is different from my master's, my master's majesty is very cold, very frightening, but the majesty in the old lady's eyes is inexplicably reassuring.

But if it weren't for the look in her eyes, just looking at her white hair and kind demeanor, I might have thought of her as an ordinary kind old lady.

Yes, her demeanor is very kind, and the anger that emanated from her body just now is almost gone. I don't know what was written in the old master's letter that made the old lady accept us so quickly.

The old lady stared at me for a while, and said with a smile: "You are Chai Zongyuan's apprentice, and you really look a little similar." Your master is a true hero, and his apprentice must not be far behind. ”

After speaking, she turned to Liang Houzai again: "You are Li Liang's disciple, hehe, this clear-eyed and beautiful, how can he look like a girl." I don't know how much virtue Li Liang has built, he can accept such an apprentice, just his prodigal appearance, I thought that their inheritance was going to be lost to him. ”

As she spoke, the old lady turned her words to Luo Fei again: "Yo, this is the girl of the Luo family, you don't know me, but when I was young, I was familiar with Luo Laohan." Hehe, when you first entered elementary school, I also went to your Luo family as a guest and met you. It's been a long time, and I guess you can't remember it. ”

In the end, her eyes were on Xian'er's side: "This little girl, she has a good face, but this kind of face, well, doesn't look like what the mortal world should have." If my wife is not mistaken, you are not a mortal. ”

Xian'er winked at the old lady: "You are really good eyesight, but don't call me a little girl, in terms of age, I am dozens of rounds older than you." ”

The old lady immediately smiled: "Although you are old, you are mixed with these little hairy children every day, and you dare to say that you are not a little girl?" ”

Xian'er looked a little puzzled: "How do you know that I mess with them every day?" ”

The old lady looked at Xian'er, then at me, and finally said to Xian'er: "The old woman has lived for so many years, and the dry rice is not eaten in vain. No one can see through these short things like these parents better than me. ”

After saying this, the old master let out a sigh: "Let's talk about it, what is the matter with a few of you coming to me?" ”

I said, "Actually, I came this time mainly to deal with Zhao Dekai. I heard that Zhao Dekai took over the power of the Cao family and set up a cult in the urban area. ”

The old lady smiled coldly: "Not only did he start a cult in the urban area, but now, Zhao Dekai's minions have spread all over northern Shaanxi and Guanzhong, and in these two realms, there are his sect members." ”

Hey? Didn't the old master and the old man Wei say that the eldest lady of the Cao family has either been looking for the whereabouts of the old family master all these years, or she has been eating fasting and reciting Buddha at home, and rarely cares about other things, but how can she even know about this matter?

The old lady's eyes were indeed very vicious, I just thought about these things in my head, and I didn't answer her words for half a beat, and she knew what I was thinking.

I heard the old lady say: "Hehe, do people outside say that I am old, my ears are not bright, my eyes are also spent, I can't hear things outside, and I can't distinguish loyalty and adultery?" ”

In the face of such an old man, it is best to have one thing to say and two to say, if you hide it when you speak, you will be recognized in an instant.

So I didn't plan to hide anything, nodded honestly, and said, "People outside say that the old lady doesn't pay much attention to the outside affairs anymore, so I think you don't know much about Zhao Dekai's situation." ”

The old lady smiled and opened the topic: "Tell me, how do you want to deal with Zhao Dekai?" ”

I said: "There are many ways to deal with him, but the first thing to do is to cut off Zhao Dekai's wings as much as possible to prevent him from continuing to sit big." ”

Old lady: "And how do you want to cut off his wings?" ”

Me: "Let the major families of Baiwu Mountain take back the management of the family and get out of the control of Zhao Dekai." ”

Hearing me say this, the old lady laughed: "Well said, but how can it be so easy!" Little guy, do you know how Zhao Dekai controlled these big clans in Baiwu Mountain, using money, using the natal money that our clans rely on to survive. At the moment, as long as any clan is separated from Zhao Dekai, there will be no food, especially a small clan like the Cao family, as long as Zhao Dekai does not allocate funds to the Cao family, the Cao family will starve. I can't eat enough, how can I fight with Zhao Dekai? Hehe, the leader said in the letter, you are the hope of Baiwu Mountain, but what can you do as a half-grown child? He looked away and asked you to come to me, but the Cao family can't do without Zhao Dekai now, and if you look for me, you are also looking for the wrong person. ”

I said: "Actually, it is not only Zhao Dekai who can support the Cao family, but Yan Xiaotian can also do it." ”

The old lady frowned, stared into my eyes and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

I sorted out my thoughts and told the old lady in detail about some of Yan Xiaotian's business outside, as well as the fact that he could short his shares to let the Cao family settle in, and even advance a part of the funds to let the Cao family survive the most difficult period first.

While I was talking, the old lady kept staring at me until I finished speaking, and then she asked me, "Yan Xiaotian has such a great ability?" ”

I smiled: "Yan Xiaotian's ability is great, but he usually doesn't show it." ”

The old lady also smiled: "Yan Xiaotian, that kid I grew up with my own eyes, he can't do such a big deal." It's you, this kid, you are young, the city government is not shallow, Yan Xiaotian can do such a big deal, you have also made a lot of effort, right? ”
