Episode 16: Counting Counts (4)
Cao Jixiang came leisurely, there was a ruined temple in front of him, the four fields were barren, he could see clearly at a glance, he didn't have to worry about an ambush at all, he stood for a long time, and saw Shangguan walking out without a trace in the door.
"Father-in-law Cao really came as promised, and he didn't disappoint the old man." Shangguan smudged and smiled all over his face.
"How can I not come to such a big thing, let's get straight to the point, what about the little prince?" Cao Jixiang stepped forward and said quickly.
"What's the hurry, I haven't made my conditions yet." Shangguan Wuxian had a wicked smile on his mouth.
"I don't have time to talk to you, what conditions are said quickly." Cao Jixiang looked angry and said lazily.
"Okay." Shangguan Wuxian sighed and said, "My condition is 100,000 taels of gold ....... ”
"What, you're a lion's mouth." Cao Jixiang was shocked and asked indignantly.
Shangguan Wuxian stretched out a finger, shook it in front of Cao Jixiang's eyes, and then smiled: "No, I haven't finished talking yet, I want more than just this little thing." ”
"What more do you want?" Cao Jixiang asked. The anger on his face became more and more serious, and now it was evil and ridiculous to see Shangguan without a trace.
Shangguan Wuxian took two steps forward, smiled straightly, and said for a long time: "I also want a city, so that the territory of my Yin Yang Gate will be much larger, and my status in the rivers and lakes will be greater." ”
Cao Jixiang was furious, even more surprised, and looked at him with an unbelievable look.
"What? A city? It's just a cannibalistic dream, I advise you to wake up, and then talk about what your Yin-Yang Gate matter has to do with me. ”
Shangguan Wuxian looked up to the sky and smiled, and then became silent for a moment, his eyes showed his brother's light, and he said coldly: "Gonggong Cao, I know that you have been looking for the prince for a long time, and the emperor must be chasing very closely, is the prince still unable to reach a city?" ”
Cao Jixiang naturally understood in his heart, but he also knew that this prince was a fake, how could he agree to his conditions, and said at the moment: "Shangguan Wuxian, your price is too high, Lao Nu, I really can't be the master, I have to go back to explain this matter to the emperor to see what the emperor's attitude is." ”
When Shangguan Wuxian heard that he meant to go back, he hurriedly said, "Slow."
"How," Cao Jixiang asked.
"Forget it, I don't want the city, I will occupy one by myself when I have the opportunity in the future, and I will count it on 100,000 taels of gold." Shangguan Wuxian was helpless.
Cao Jixiang smiled secretly in his heart, and said to himself: "It's really a fake, otherwise you wouldn't want the emperor's dragon chair." "Okay, 100,000 taels is 100,000 taels, anyway, it's not me, but you have to let me see the prince first, if there is really such a person."
"Bang Bang" Shangguan Wuxian slapped twice.
I saw two small soldiers in the door walking out with a person, and this person was Xue Yuhu.
"This is the prince you've been looking for." Shangguan Wuxian pointed at Xue Yuhu and said.
Cao Jixiang originally knew that this was a fake, but at this time, he didn't want Shangguan Wuxian to see any flaws, so the play continued, and he hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness, is it really you?" ”
"It's me, Grandpa Cao, take me back quickly." Xue Yuhu deliberately exerted a little effort to get rid of the two small soldiers.
"Your Highness, don't worry, the old slave will take you back." As he spoke, he walked towards Xue Yuhu.
Shangguan Wuxian immediately stopped in front and said with a faint smile: "Gonggong Cao, why don't you ask me how the prince found it, aren't you afraid that this is a fake?" ”
Cao Jixiang was stunned, thinking yes, if I didn't know in advance that it was fake, then according to human common sense, I must have asked, but I already knew that if I didn't ask, it must have made him suspicious.
"Oh, yes, I might be so happy to see the prince, if you don't remind me, I'll really forget." Cao Jixiang pretended to be and said: "Let's say, the prince is looking for someone to be found." ”
Shangguan Wuxian stared at Cao Jixiang tightly, a little surprised in his heart, and asked, "How could Gonggong Cao be such an alert person, how could he forget such a critical issue, don't you ...........?" ”
"Father-in-law Cao, when I rescued Uncle Qu, I have been fostered in a farmer's house, and I am still ......."
Cao Jixiang laughed, and the originally unstable atmosphere suddenly became silent. At this time, what I was thinking about was that Shangguan Wuxian probably saw a flaw, and he really couldn't pretend to be able to do it.
This smile surprised Shangguan Wuxian with a smile, first stunned, and then smiled: "Gonggong Cao, for such an important matter, why did you bring five brocade guards, did you not take me in your eyes, or were you prepared?" ”
"Okay, celebrities don't do dark things, and they don't go around the bend with you, I did come prepared, and I didn't have gold if I wanted it." Cao Jixiang suddenly spoke in a high-pitched voice.
"Sure enough, I guessed it, I said you can't come so easily." Shangguan Wuxian said as he probed around, and immediately strengthened his defense. The two small soldiers also grabbed Xue Yuhu tighter. Xue Yuhu also made two struggling moves.
Cao Jixiang said: "Don't act anymore, I already knew that this prince is a fake." After saying that, he turned around with his back hand.
"How do you know?" Shangguan Wuxian was shocked, as if he didn't believe that he would know.
"Kill ......." A shout of killing came, gradually approaching, it turned out to be Jinyiwei, He Tianshu rushed first. Dozens of people in the back frowned coldly.
Shangguan Wuxian smiled coldly, he didn't regard this group of people as a burden at all, it was just something that could be solved by working his own. just questioned what Cao Jixiang had just said, and asked again: "Tell me, how do you know." ”
Cao Jixiang said with a smile: "I heard that you found the prince, I was on a starry night, but I met a flower butterfly on the way. ”
"The old witch told you." Shangguan said without a trace.
He Tianshu shouted loudly: "Shangguan Wuxian, I didn't expect it, you dug the pit yourself, but let yourself jump in." ”
"Don't be complacent, think you'll be able to catch me?" Shangguan Wuxian pointed at He Tianshu and said disdainfully.
"Let's take it first." Cao Jixiang gave the order, and retreated behind the brocade guard as he spoke.
He Tianshu waved his hand, and the brocade guards hugged one after another, swords and swords. Shangguan Wuxian unfolded his body technique, one palm at a time, and smiled lightly on his mouth. It's just that this brocade guard can't help fighting.
He Tianshu attacked with a sword, and a sword rushed to Shangguan Wuxian's left leg, the edge flickered, and the sword body brushed loudly. Shangguan Wuxian grabbed a brocade guard in front of him and threw it over, pitiful to this person, who was pierced through his body. Shangguan Wuxian put down the brocade guard and didn't fight, and came out to slap He Tianshu, the two went back and forth, and the fight was also fierce.
Xue Yuhu in the back was still standing leisurely, but was seen by Cao Jixiang, and when he waved his hand, the five people behind him snatched out, the speed was like the wind, the knife fell in his hand, and the two people next to him fell to the ground, Xue Yuhu was stunned, and hurriedly said: "It's none of my business, it's all Shangguan Wuxian asked me to do it." ”
These five people were originally carefully selected, and they can be regarded as masters of the Great Interior, and their martial arts are naturally much higher than those of ordinary Jinyi Guards. How could a character like Cao Jixiang come with five small soldiers, and as soon as he made a move, he knew that he was prepared.
Cao Jixiang looked at Xue Yuhu carefully and did not speak.
Xue Yuhu was even more afraid in his heart, if he didn't speak, he might be conspiring with some bad idea, and he kept speculating in his heart, his eyes were turning around, and he looked like a traitor.
Shangguan Wushu's kung fu in his hands makes it flexible and pure, how can He Tianshu parry, he fought about 30 moves before, but Shangguan Wuxian tested the truth and reality, this will already know He Tianshu's subtle tricks, no longer melancholy, clapped three palms in a row, He Tianshu shot out to block, although the block did not hit the body, but was shocked by this force, and almost fell.
Shangguan Wuxian still has to catch up and palm again.
"Shangguan Wuxian, it is estimated that another group of my men and horses have already arrived at the inn, and that injured Ouyang Wudi is about to become a prisoner." Cao Jixiang said with a cold laugh.
Shangguan Wuxian was shocked again, immediately stopped, looked at Xue Yuhu, and said to himself: "The matter has been revealed, this kid is useless, let him go, the junior brother is in danger, he needs to go back immediately." ”
"Cao Jixiang, write down this account first, and I'll find you another day to calculate it." Shangguan left a word without a trace and went away.
