Sun Xiangyong heard Cao Jixiang say this, remembered what Jian Huaizhen talked with Zhu Qizhen last night, and said, "Big brother, what you said is very true. But you have said these things, the eldest princess and the emperor have already thought of it, and the eldest princess has already sent someone to find Cao Tie, and the evidence of your guilt will definitely be present at that time. You should listen to my advice and hide for now. ”

"Go to Cao Tie? Where did the eldest princess go to find Cao Tie and go to the underworld? ”

"Ha, ha, ha", Cao Jixiang laughed as he said: "Your eldest brother and I have always done things neatly, since I have expected that the contract will fall into the hands of the eldest princess, I have long expected that Cao Tie will definitely betray me." So I sent a killer to kill Cao Tie a long time ago, presumably Cao Tie is dead now. ”

Sun Xiangyong couldn't help but gasp when he saw Cao Jixiang being so cold-blooded.

Despite this, he always felt that he was his eldest brother, and still persuaded him with kind words, saying: "Although Cao Tie is dead, the eldest princess will still send someone else to collect evidence of your crimes, in case the truth is revealed to the world." ”

"Then the consequences are unimaginable. The truth is revealed to the world, and what can the truth be revealed to the world? How can the eldest princess endure me? If the evidence of my guilt was really so easy to find, I would have been found out a long time ago, would I have waited for her eldest princess to search for it now? Cao Jixiang said disapprerovingly.

Sun Xiangyong saw that all persuasion was useless, so he sighed, and said some innocuous words to Cao Jixiang, and then left.

After Sun Xiangyong left, Cao Jixiang thought about this matter carefully, and he always felt more and more worried in his heart. Although in front of Sun Xiangyong, he insisted that he was not afraid in his heart, in fact, how could he not be afraid of such a big event?

At this moment, what he was waiting in the mansion was the news of the killer who assassinated Cao Tie. The killer who assassinated Cao Tie was named Yun Tianhe, a person with strong martial arts, and a killer hired by Cao Jixiang with a lot of money.

He has made up his mind now, as long as Yun Tianhe can kill Cao Tie, I'm afraid the matter can be resolved. If Yun Tianhe can't solve Cao Tie, the matter will be serious.

He was waiting anxiously, but saw Yun Tianhe walking back dejectedly.

"Subordinates, I've seen Grandpa Cao", Yun Tianhe saw Cao Jixiang and saluted.

When Cao Jixiang saw his appearance, he already understood in his heart. Despite this, he forcibly held back his anger and led him to the secret room, saying, "Yun Daxia, it must have been hard to do things for my father-in-law today. My father-in-law has already prepared 10,000 taels of gold, please Yun Daxia smile. ”

Yun Tianhe saw that Cao Jixiang didn't ask him what the result of killing Cao Tie was, it was very strange, and he was very happy when he heard that there were ten thousand taels of gold to collect. He couldn't help but ask, "Where is the golden tael?" ”

Cao Jixiang said: "Isn't it right here?" ”

After speaking, Cao Jixiang opened a box beside him, and all the boxes were filled with pieces of gold. The color of the gold is very bright, falling in the eyes of Yun Tianhe, Yun Tianhe only felt that his blood was boiling, and he couldn't help but step forward, (02:54 voice is not clear) Heart: "People are afraid that there are no shortcomings, as long as people have a shortcoming, this shortcoming (the voice is not clear)."

The cloud crane only looked at the glittering gold, and replied casually: "I went to assassinate that Cao Tie, but I didn't expect that Cao Tie to be quite shrewd." Although he doesn't know martial arts, he runs quite fast. When his old mother saw that I had drawn a knife and stabbed him, she dragged me by the leg and let Cao Tie escape. Despite this, don't worry, Gonggong Cao, he has been stabbed by me a few times, and he must not survive. ”

Cao Jixiang heard Yun Tianhe say this, his heart sank involuntarily, and he thought in his heart: My father-in-law sent you to assassinate Cao Tie at a great price, but I didn't expect you to come back and report to me in the end, but this is the result, and you still want to collect gold from me, and you want to get it is beautiful.

Although he thought so, he didn't show it at all on his face, and he smiled and said: "Yun Daxia has worked hard, it's really hard, please accept this box of gold Yun Daxia." ”

Yun Tianhe pushed and held the gold in his arms, and turned to leave.

Cao Jixiang saw that he was leaving, and he was already anxious, and he said to Yun Tianhe: "Yun Daxia, why are you in a hurry to leave? My father-in-law has already set up a banquet to wash the dust for Yun Daxia, so invite Yun Daxia to have dinner with my father-in-law before leaving. ”

Yun Tianhe has long known that Cao Jixiang's mansion has all kinds of delicacies and delicacies, and those delicacies and delicacies have never been seen in his wandering rivers and lakes. He saw that Cao Jixiang was diligent to keep himself, of course he wouldn't just excuse himself, so he said: "So I will disturb Cao's father-in-law." ”

Cao Jixiang laughed a few times, and said very hypocritically: "Why should Yun Daxia be polite, you have gotten rid of the big trouble in your father-in-law, and it is too late for your father-in-law to thank you." ”

After speaking, he led the cloud crane to the banquet.

Yun Tianhe held the box containing 10,000 taels of gold tightly in his hand, and refused to let go.

Cao Jixiang saw that he regarded wealth as his life, so he sneered and said: "Yun Daxia, the wine and food here are specially prepared for you by my subordinates, and the wine here is the best century-old daughter red." As for these dishes, they are all delicacies from all over the world, and I think Yun Daxia will definitely like them. ”

Yun Tianhe was already overjoyed when he saw this, he couldn't wait to raise his chopsticks and said, "Since that's the case, you're welcome." ”

After speaking, he picked up a piece of Dongpo meat and put it in his mouth, only to feel that Dongpo meat was very tender, smooth but not greasy, and it tasted very refreshing.

Cao Jixiang persuaded on the side: "Yun Daxia, why don't you taste this century-old daughter's red?" ”

Yun Tianhe had only heard of his daughter red for more than ten years, but he had never heard of his daughter red buried in the ground for a hundred years. He was very curious, and immediately poured a glass, and couldn't wait to drink it in his mouth. I only felt that the wine was mellow and fragrant, and it was refreshing to drink it, so I couldn't help but raise my thumb and praise: "It's really a good wine." ”

Cao Jixiang smiled: "In that case, Yun Daxia might as well drink a few more glasses." ”

At that moment, Yun Tianhe did not shirk, raised the wine glass and drank it non-stop, and soon a jar of daughter red was drunk by him.

Cao Jixiang watched him drink from the side, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and when he saw that he had been drinking for a long time, he said in his heart: It's almost time to fall.

Sure enough, before he could finish his sentence, Yun Tianhe fell to the ground with a "plop".

The corners of his mouth were stained with blood, the blood was red, as if he had been smeared with rouge, he pointed at Cao Jixiang and asked, "Why is this happening?" Why is this happening? ”

Cao Jixiang laughed, he said: "You are embarrassed to ask my father-in-law why this is the case, my father-in-law asked you to assassinate Cao Tie, you didn't complete the task, and you still want your father-in-law's gold when you come back, you think it's beautiful." ”

"You give me the antidote, I don't want gold." Yun Tianhe's gaze became very fierce, and he looked at Cao Jixiang and pleaded.

"The antidote? Is there an antidote to crane top red? My father-in-law has never heard of it, not to mention that even if you succeed in assassinating Cao Tie, do you think you don't have to die? My father-in-law has already made up his mind, no matter what the result of your assassination of Cao Tie is, my father-in-law will not let you go. ”

"Why? Why would you do this? Yun Tianhe looked at Cao Jixiang very puzzled.

Cao Jixiang showed a fierce look in his eyes, and he said viciously to Yun Tianhe: "I don't know if you have heard a word?" The amount is small, the gentleman is not poisonous, and the husband is a person who does great things, how can he be planted in the hands of people like you? If you succeed in assassinating Cao Tie, you will know the secret of your father-in-law, and how can your father-in-law keep you alive in the world. If you fail to assassinate Cao Tie, then you are the general of the defeated army, how can you be brave? It is also reasonable for my father-in-law to kill you, do you think what my father-in-law said is reasonable? ”

After listening to Cao Jixiang's words, Yun Tianhe knew that he had been calculated by Cao Jixiang early in the morning, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "I, Yun Tianhe's martial arts, I didn't expect to die in the hands of one of your eunuchs today." ”

After saying that, he passed away with hatred.

Cao Jixiang looked at Yun Tianhe's corpse, looked at it with disgust, raised his foot and kicked it a few times, and ordered his subordinates to carry Yun Tianhe out and throw it to the mass grave for burial.

The subordinate hurriedly agreed, and did as Cao Jixiang instructed.

Cao Jixiang became very worried at this moment, and he learned from Yun Tianhe's mouth that Cao Tie had escaped. Cao Tie must have been seriously injured when he fled, but no matter what, if he escaped, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and he couldn't help but think about Sun Xiangyong's advice to himself, Sun Xiangyong suggested that he might as well find a place to hide and wait for things to settle down.

"Is there no other way?" Cao Jixiang looked at the black sky, only to feel foggy, full of thoughts, very disordered, and couldn't figure it out for a while.

He fell into deep thought.

Let's say that Cao Tie escorted the military rations last time, and after losing the military rations on the way, he himself was injured. Of course, these injuries were deliberately inflicted on him by the robbers who conspired with him, in order to make it better for him to return to the palace and confess to the emperor.

After he explained to Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qizhen didn't think too much about it at that time. I didn't expect that he was originally colluding with those robbers, so I comforted him a few words and let him go back to the house to rest.

After returning to the mansion, everything settled down, and he was very proud to see that he could come back safe and sound, and he couldn't help but secretly praise Cao Jixiang in his heart for his foresight.

Cao Tie had been intensively cultivating at home for a few days, and suddenly heard news from the frontier that Jian Huaizhen led the army to defeat the Warat army and killed the 300,000 Warat army, and he couldn't help but feel a little more suspicious in his heart. If the Warat army is defeated in the hands of Jian Huaizhen, then her power will definitely be stronger after returning to the palace, will she settle accounts with Cao Jixiang at that time, and will it affect herself at that time? The military rations were lost from his own hands, will Jian Huaizhen settle accounts with himself at that time?

The more Cao Tie thought about it, the more he felt scared, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was difficult to sleep, and when he was having trouble sleeping, someone suddenly came to visit, claiming to be Cao Jixiang Cao's father-in-law.

Seeing this, Cao Tie hurriedly ordered someone to welcome the person in, he thought that the person was sent by Cao Jixiang to discuss countermeasures with him, and he didn't think much about it in his heart.

The man was more than six feet tall, with two hanging eyes, thick and dark eyebrows, and the whole person looked very vicious.

Cao Tie rarely saw such a vicious person, and when he first saw him, he was also taken aback, and when he saw that person spoke kindly, he didn't seem to have any malicious intent, so he personally led the person to the living room and sat down.

"I don't know if your Excellency came here today on the orders of Gonggong Cao, and came to tell the subordinate to do something?" Cao Tie asked.

The person who came was obviously Yun Tianhe, a killer sent by Cao Jixiang, and he looked at Cao Tie with a very strange look in his eyes. He smiled, and the two rows of teeth were very white, like the white bones of a man, and he suddenly said a word, he said, "Kill you." ”

The words "kill you" fell on Cao Tie's ears like a sharp blade, Cao Tie thought he had heard it wrong, so he asked again: "What did you say?" ”

Yun Tianhe grinned again, and he repeated, "Kill you." ”

Cao Tie finally realized the seriousness of the matter at this moment, this person actually kept saying that killing himself must be a killer sent by Cao Jixiang. Presumably because of the military rations, Cao Jixiang was afraid that Jian Huaizhen would pursue him after he returned, so he sent such a person to kill himself and kill him.

Thinking of this, he was shocked, looked at the long sword in the man's hand, and knew that it would not be easy for him to escape. He couldn't help but ask again: "Did Gonggong Cao ask you to kill me?" ”

"Did you say?" The man looked at Cao Tie and said with a very pitiful look. At this moment, in his eyes, Cao Tie is his prey, and he can't escape if he wants to.

When Cao Tie heard him say this, his heart was as clear as a mirror, and he understood everything. Without thinking about it, he stood up and rushed out the door, though he knew that it would not be easy to escape from the hands of this murderous swordsman. But if you don't escape, you won't have a chance to survive.

The swordsman didn't expect Cao Tie to behave so calmly, and the long sword in his hand slashed heavily at Cao Tie's back. The sword slashed right on Cao Tie's backbone, and Cao Tie's clothes were suddenly sliced with red blood flowing down the sword wound.

Cao Tie only felt the pain in his back, but despite this, he ran away.

At this moment, he has only one belief in his heart, as long as he can escape, he can live. If he can live, he will have a chance to take revenge, so no matter how much pain he has in his body, he will endure it.

At this time, the swordsman Yun Tianhe continued to step forward and raised his knife, wanting to cut Cao Tie. Cao Tie ran fast, the swordsman flew to Cao Tie's side, and he raised his sword to Cao Tie's back. Cao Tie only felt a sharp pain in his back, and he almost fell to the ground, but he held back the pain in his shoulder and staggered.

The swordsman saw Cao Tie escape with a sword, and showed a weird smile, that Cao Tie would be his prey sooner or later, and it was not so easy to run, so he raised his long sword and threw it at Cao Tie.

That Yuntian Crane's martial arts are very strong, and the power of this sword is very great. If the long sword pierced Cao Tie's back, he would definitely die from the sword. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened at this moment.

It turned out that Cao Tie's mother heard that Cao Gonggong had sent someone to discuss things with Cao Tie, so she came out to see what the situation was.

Cao Tie's mother has always been grateful to Cao Jixiang for promoting Cao Tie, and she wanted to personally say a few words of thanks to that person and let him take it back.

Who knew that as soon as she walked into the garden, she saw a person in the sunlight holding a bright long sword and throwing it at Cao Tie's back. Seeing this, Cao Tie's mother shouted in her heart: "My son! He couldn't care about anything else, and grabbed himself in front of Cao Tie, and the long sword pierced straight into Cao Tie's mother's heart.

Cao Tie's mother let out an "ah" sound, and fell heavily to the ground.

Cao Tie ran away, and suddenly heard his mother's wail, he turned his head to see his mother lying in a pool of blood with a long sword. He was about to turn around and come back to help his mother, but he heard his mother cry out in her heart: "Tie'er, run away, run away, don't worry about me." ”

Her voice seemed to be tearing her heart and lungs, and every word fell on Cao Tie's heart, as painful as a long sword piercing the heart.

Holding back the pain in his heart, he turned and walked away. He knew that his mother had been stabbed through the chest with a sword, and he must not be able to live. No matter what, he must live and seek revenge on Cao Jixiang.

Yun Tianhe was furious when he saw that his sword was blocked by Cao Tie's mother. He stepped forward, pulled the long sword out of Cao Tie's mother's chest, and prepared to continue chasing Cao Tie.

Yun Tianhe's light skills are very strong, and it is not difficult to catch up with Cao Tie, but at this moment, Cao Tie's mother seems to be crazy, and uses her last bit of strength to hug Yun Tianhe's legs tightly.

Yun Tianhe struggled a few times, but he couldn't break free from the old lady's hands, and his legs seemed to have taken root, and they were tightly fixed to the ground by her hands.

Yun Tianhe couldn't help but be very anxious when he saw Cao Tie walking farther and farther, he lifted his feet hard, but he couldn't break free no matter what.

At this moment, he saw that Cao Tie had fled without a trace, and his heart was in a hurry, so he raised his sword and did not hesitate any longer, cut off Cao Tie's mother's hands, and finally broke his legs out, and then chased Cao Tie after him.

He chased after the bloodstains, which were out of the house but never to be seen again.

It turned out that the place where Cao Tie lived was Jinding Street, which was very prosperous in the capital, and there were many small stalls and vendors selling things at the door, and there were countless people coming and going. As long as Cao Tie blends into the crowd, it is very easy to escape.

Yun Tianhe chased east for a while, but found no trace of Cao Tie, he turned around and chased west for a while, but found no trace of Cao Tie. He thought that Cao Tie had already been wounded by his own sword, and it seemed impossible to survive.

Thinking of this, he went back to Cao Jixiang's mansion and received credit from Cao Jixiang. But he didn't expect that what was waiting for him was not glittering gold, but the extremely poisonous Heding Red Poison, and he also buried one of his lives.

After Cao Tie escaped, he did not go east or west, he knew that whether he went east or west, the assassin would definitely continue to pursue, so he walked into a tea house in front of his mansion. One of the men in the teahouse had received Cao Tie's favor, and when he saw that Cao Tie was seriously injured, he hurriedly led Cao Tie to the chamber, led him to hide, and brought him knife medicine to heal his wounds.
