In the Ming court, the ministers of the early dynasty, at this time the previous ministers of the court are no longer there, not sick to death but also killed, there are few veterans left, only Cao Jixiang, and Xu Youzhen and a few others, Yingzong since regaining the throne, has sent a lot of people to look for the little prince in all directions, but all ended in failure, the whereabouts of the little prince are still unknown, like looking for a needle in a haystack, and Cao Jixiang wanted to kill the little prince, but was finally rescued by the hero Qu Aofeng, but now it is Yingzong who continues to come to the dynasty, so he sees the wind and rudder, At the moment, he is the only one who still has a glimmer of eyebrows.

Yingzong sat on the dragon chair and sighed again and again, and was also very annoyed, and said: "The little prince has been missing for twenty years, and his whereabouts are still unknown. ”

Cao Jixiang said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the little prince is still in the world, but we don't know where it is, according to Yu Qian, the little prince was rescued by a character named Qu Aofeng, if you want to find the prince, you must find Qu Aofeng, but this Qu Aofeng was killed by the Liaodong Five Tigers as early as twenty years ago, and the prince hid before he died, but according to what my subordinates said, before Qu Aofeng died, I once saw him go to a peasant woman's house, and also foster the child there, according to my inference, Now the little prince is estimated to be in this peasant woman's house, we can send someone to look for it near this place, and we will definitely find the little prince. ”

Yingzong said: "Okay, this matter is up to you, you must find the little prince for me, otherwise you will be asked." ”

Cao Jixiang began to send most of the troops of the East and West Factory, on the one hand, to search in that place, on the other hand, all over the search, but there was no news, even the notice could not be posted, twenty years, the appearance has changed dramatically, and even the name is not known, there is no way to find it, only to wait for the opportunity, maybe one day the little prince himself will surface.

Minister Yu Qian was unjustly killed, after his death the mausoleum was built in a panicked place in the east of the capital, no one cleaned it all the year round, the mausoleum was overgrown with weeds, it looked very desolate, when he was alive, the official position was prominent, everyone respected, but after his death was so bleak, there was no incense tribute for many years.

This scene put an old man standing next to him sighed a few times, and then looked at this old man, with a hat on his head, wearing numb clothes, holding a sword in his hand, and a wine gourd in the other hand, standing for a long time, finally moved his steps, walked to the mausoleum, reached out to pull the weeds, and said: "Lord Yu, you died really wronged, you didn't even have a friend to see you, for that incident back then, it took your whole life to work hard, but in the end you got such a place, it's really not worth it, and I'm not much better than you, It's just a fluke, but I can't go out of the mountains now, the rivers and lakes are really too sinister... ”

At this point, he suddenly stopped, only to hear footsteps in the distance, and it seemed that there were many people, so they hid behind the mausoleum to see who was here.

I saw Cao Jixiang with a few guards, walked over, stood in front of the mausoleum, and said: "Lord Yu, the old slave came to see you, brought you some wine and food, we are also old friends, now Yin Yang Yongge, it is really a creation to make people, I hope you don't hate me, when Emperor Jingtai was in power, I wanted to kill the little prince, but also to serve the emperor, and then Yingzong was restored, of course, I still have to please, so the matter of the little prince, the old slave I had to plant it on you, but it's a pity that you didn't tell me where the little prince was when you died, What is his name on the rivers and lakes, this makes me have a headache, the emperor has repeatedly urged, I don't know if the Lord has a spirit in the sky, can he manifest the spirit and tell the old slave. ”

The old man heard clearly in the back, it turned out that Yu Qian's death was related to him, and he said to himself: "This Cao Jixiang is also looking for the little prince now, and now he is the biological father of the little prince to be the emperor, shouldn't he ......" ”

Thinking of this, I heard Cao Jixiang say: "Hey, the little prince is a treasure, it doesn't matter if the emperor wants to find it, and Mongolia seems to have begun to look for it these days, if the Mongols catch the little prince, it will be bad, and the scene of the year will be repeated." ”

When the old man heard this, he still couldn't do it, and said in his heart: "This matter has to be done, otherwise it will be dangerous." ”

Cao Jixiang suddenly saw that the weeds in front of the mausoleum had traces of being plucked, and they had just been plucked, and he was suspicious, and said in his heart: "Someone came just now, who could it be, Yu Qian doesn't have any friends, is it...?" ”

I was shocked, but I didn't show it, but as usual, I said with a smile: "Lord Yu, the old slave still has important things to do, go back first, and come to see you another day." Then he took the people and left.

When the old man saw that they had gone away, he came out again, sat down on the ground, drank wine, and muttered something to himself.

Suddenly, Cao Jixiang turned around, and several guards surrounded the old man, and the old man suddenly convulsed, and then stood up, but the hat blocked half of his face and couldn't see his appearance. Cao Jixiang asked: "Old man, do you know Yu Qian, tell me, what is your relationship with him, the whereabouts of the little prince, are you an insider?" ”

The old man smiled: "I just admire the adult's personality, so I came to the grave to mourn, I don't know the adult, what the little prince, the old man doesn't know." ”

Cao Jixiang asked: "There is only one person who can come to Yu Qian's grave to mourn, and it is estimated that you are that person." ”

The old man said: "I don't know who you mean." ”

Cao Jixiang said: "It's Qu Aofeng, I think you are." ”

The old man smiled: "Gonggong Cao is really good at laughing, the old man heard that Qu Aofeng died twenty years ago, how could he appear here again." ”

Cao Jixiang said: "It seems that you know quite clearly, you know who I am, and you also know that Qu Aofeng died twenty years ago, I don't know these things, how do you know." ”

The old man smiled again and said: "Who doesn't know the name of Gonggong Cao, you are in charge of the forces of the East and West Factories, you are really majestic, Qu Aofeng was a hero back then, what news about him, how can the people in the rivers and lakes not know, but the father-in-law said that he didn't know, I was really joking with the old man." ”

Cao Jixiang said angrily: "You don't talk nonsense, say, are you Qu Aofeng or not." ”

The old man smiled and asked, "What is it, what if it is not." ”

Cao Jixiang said: "Yes, please tell me the whereabouts of the little prince, I will take him back to be the prince, or I will arrest you and torture you." ”

The old man said: "In this way, whether it is or not, I have nothing to gain from, then I can only tell you that I don't know what you asked." ”

Cao Jixiang said angrily: "Old thing, play poor, take it for me left and right." ”

A few guards rushed forward, stretched out their hands to grab the old man, this old man's martial arts are also good, buckled the guards, turned over his hand, and several people were put down together, Cao Jixiang was shocked, he didn't expect this person to be so powerful, he was suddenly afraid, and hurriedly retreated.

The old man smiled: "Gonggong Cao also wants to come up and try it." ”

Cao Jixiang was timid, how dare he step forward, he just asked: "Do you dare to report your name?" ”

The old man stopped suddenly, and then said: "My name is Feng Aoqi, you can remember it." ”

Cao Jixiang pondered in his heart, Feng Aoqi, what a strange name. didn't think much about it, and said: "Okay, surnamed Feng, I have few people today, count you lucky, don't let me run into you again." ”

With that, he ran away with someone again. The old man smiled and went too.

Cao Jixiang returned to Dongchang, repeatedly thinking about the person just now, thinking to himself, if this person was not familiar with Yu Qian, how could he go to worship, the whereabouts of the little prince must be related to him. At the moment, he asked his subordinates to take many people to track down this Feng Aoqi.

Suddenly, the guards came in to report and said, "Father-in-law, there are traces of flowers and butterflies in Henan, and this witch has killed a lot of people, and none of the seventy people in Zhang Yuan's foreign mansion have been spared." ”

Cao Jixiang was shocked again, and said: "It's really a disaster, the matter of the little prince has made me pour rotten goose, and there have been tragedies in various places recently, this flower butterfly, the courage is really not small, okay, see how I clean you up." ”

Cao Jixiang brought a lot of people this time, plus Jinyiwei, there were two or three thousand soldiers and horses, rushed to Henan, the troops were fast and whipped, the itinerary was no day, just came to Henan, just entered the city, and saw that there was nothing else on the street except the corpse, the bustling town in the past, the lively street market, no longer existed, like a battlefield filled with gunpowder, the team of people came to Zhang Yuanwai's house, sure enough, the corpse was all over the place, there was no living mouth, and the corpse had a butterfly made of white paper as big as a fist, This is what the flower butterfly left behind according to the convention after doing things.

Suddenly a person on the roof flashed, Cao Jixiang was suspicious, and hurriedly commanded the Jinyi guard to arrest, this person was not fast, and kept running towards the suburbs, the people of the east and west factories followed closely behind, this person slipped a few corners, ran directly into the mountains, Cao Jixiang chased closely, but he disappeared into the mountain, so he raised his vigilance, looked around, his subordinates took knives and slashed left and right, trees, grass, all missing, along the path all the way forward, suddenly raised his head, all were shocked, it turned out to be to the Hongyan Sect, only to see a cave in front of him, On the cave are the three big characters of Hongyanjiao.

Cao Jixiang couldn't help but shudder, and said: "Be careful that there is an ambush, divide into three teams, surround them on the left and right, and the middle team will go in with me to get people." ”

Cao Jixiang rushed into the cave with Jinyiwei, there were really a few sectarians in the cave, Jinyiwei couldn't help but say, fighting with them, how could there be many people, these sectarians were invincible, they were all killed, and continued to search inside, only to find a teenager in the corner, this boy was Shen Jiannan, Jinyiwei took it down.

Shen Jiannan was shocked and asked, "Who are you, why are you arresting me?" ”

Cao Jixiang said: "We are from Dongchang, tell me where the flowers and butterflies are." ”

Shen Jiannan didn't know why, and said, "Flower butterfly, I don't know." ”

Cao Jixiang said angrily: "What, you don't know, if you don't say it, I'll kill you." ”

Shen Jiannan hurriedly said: "Don't kill me, in fact, I was also caught by the flower butterfly, I really don't know where she is." ”

Cao Jixiang said: "Why don't you kill you when the flower butterfly catches you back, it's clear that you are a member of the Hongyan Sect, and you still want to deny it, so I caught you first, and I don't believe that the flower butterfly won't come out." ”

"Whoever dares to arrest her, I will take your life". Hua Yumeng rushed out of the cave and came directly to Cao Jixiang, but was blocked by Jinyiwei.

Cao Jixiang said: "Who are you, what does it have to do with flowers and butterflies." ”

Hua Yumeng smiled: "Hua Butterfly is my mother, my name is Hua Yumeng." ”

Cao Jixiang smiled: "Haha, I didn't see the old one, there was a small one, could it be that your mother was afraid of me, so she asked your little girl to come out and die." ”

Hua Yumeng shouted: "Don't be complacent, my mother is nearby, be careful that he comes out to kill you." ”

Cao Jixiang hurriedly looked around, for fear that the flower butterfly would suddenly appear, and he was not in a hurry to be caught again, but when he saw that the flower butterfly was not in the hole at all, he smiled again: "Little girl, I see that you don't seem to be here, I will arrest you today to see if your mother will appear." ”

With a wave of his hand, dozens of brocade guards swarmed up, Hua Yumeng spread his fists and feet, and crackled with this group of brocade guards, it was the newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, a little girl was not afraid of so many big men at all, but fought vigorously, dozens of big men couldn't take him for the time being, but he was put down a lot, Cao Jixiang saw that this little girl was really powerful, and he couldn't take her for a while, so he took a knife and put it on Shen Jiannan's neck, and shouted: "Little girl, if you resist again, this kid will die." Hua Yumeng was startled and distracted, but was caught by Jinyiwei.

Cao Jixiang escorted the two out of the cave and couldn't return to Beijing for the time being, so he came to a county government under the jurisdiction of Henan and locked Shen Jiannan and Hua Yumeng in a cell. Wait for the flower butterfly to come to the rescue.
