Chapter 90: Cao Pohu
Different from the cheerful atmosphere on Luo Tian's side, at this time, in the small courtyard of Cao Cheng of the Cao family, Cao Cheng was sitting on a stone chair, his eyes were blank, this was the first time he had that feeling of uneasiness, no matter how many bad things he had done before, he would not feel uneasy. But this time he was scared. It was a fear of an unknown adversary.
"Cheng'er. A strong middle-aged man's voice came.
The owner of the voice is the head of the Cao family, Cao Cheng's father, Cao Pohu. The second generalissimo of Beiyou, in charge of Beiyou's million-strong division. He is a powerful figure.
I saw Cao Pohu cultivating more than eight feet, with sword eyebrows and sideburns, hooked nose, and fine eyes. Standing with his hands in his hands, his joy and anger are invisible. Although he is not wearing armor, he does not lose the evil spirit of battlefield battle.
"Father, you're here. Cao Cheng was so afraid of his father that he didn't even dare to speak without honorifics.
"On the way back, I heard the streets talking about fighting a kid. Cao Pohu didn't look at Cao Cheng, and said lightly.
"Yes, Yes, Father. Cao Cheng replied with a wince, he didn't dare to look up, even if Cao Pohu didn't look at him, but as long as Cao Pohu stood there, he felt afraid, this fear seemed to be innate.
"Do you know where that kid comes from?" Cao Pohu still didn't have a trace of expression, and his tone was neither salty nor light.
"No, I don't know. Cao Chengdao.
"Smack!"
Cao Pohu moved, he raised his right hand, and it seemed to be a slight wave, but with Cao Cheng felt the sound of the wind flowing rapidly in his ears, and then Cao Cheng seemed to see a white light, Cao Pohu's big hand hit Cao Cheng's left cheek hard, a loud slap.
Cao Cheng didn't dare to cover his face and cry out in pain, even though the left side of his face had begun to become red and swollen, and the five fingers were clearly imprinted on his face like carvings. He didn't dare to move, and he didn't even lift his head.
"How many times have I said that if you don't know the details of your opponent, don't take it lightly. Cao Pohu said angrily. Cao Cheng has been forced to accept his father Cao Pohu's military concept since he was a child, and knowing himself and knowing his opponent is often hung in Cao Pohu's mouth, Cao Cheng doesn't even know the origin of the other party, so he has to fight with others, and those who lose have to scrap their hands.
Maybe Cao Pohu is a good marshal, but he is certainly not a good father.
"Father, I was wrong. Cao Cheng hurriedly admitted his mistake.
"What's wrong?" Cao Pohu asked.
"I shouldn't be fighting people lightly. Cao Cheng said.
"Smack!"
As soon as Cao Cheng's voice fell, there was another loud slap, this time on the right side of his face, Cao Pohu's strength was extremely well controlled, and the height and width of Cao Cheng's puffy cheeks on both sides were consistent and symmetrical, and there was no slightest deviation.
And Cao Cheng already had a feeling of being stunned, and he would shake slightly even when he was standing.
"How have I educated you since you were a child? Have you memorized all of this?" Cao Pohu roared. In his opinion, Cao Cheng did not take his words to heart, which was greater than Cao Cheng's martial arts.
"The father forgives the sin, and the child knows that he is wrong. Cao Cheng knelt on the ground with a thud.
"You come with me. Cao Pohu returned to his expressionless appearance before.
Cao Cheng trembled and followed behind Cao Pohu, and it didn't take long for him to come to Cao Pohu's study, which was just a place for Cao Pohu to study the war and military situation, and strictly ordered others to enter, although Cao Cheng was a parent, he was never able to enter.
"Close the door. Cao Pohu said.
"Go, in front of the square table" Cao Cheng closed the door, and Cao Pohu continued.
Cao Cheng walked to the square table, Cao Pohu reached out and turned a vase placed on the shelf, and a dark grid under the square table slowly emerged.
There are more than a dozen vials of different sizes and colors in the dark compartment.
"Red, the smallest bottle. Cao Pohu said, Cao Cheng took it out.
"Father, this is?" Cao Cheng handed the vial to Cao Pohu with both hands, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"This is called the Gathering Spirit Pill, and after taking it, it can quickly improve the martial artist's ability to gather the spirit, and temporarily improve the spiritual power realm of the martial artist. If you don't defeat that kid, take the elixir. Cao Pohu said.
"But father, this is a forbidden drug, and martial arts are forbidden. Cao Cheng was shocked at first when he knew that Cao Pohu asked him to take forbidden drugs. Then he said.
"I know, do you want your hands to be wasted, or his hands to be wasted?" Cao Pohu asked rhetorically.
"I see, father. Cao Cheng said, taking the medicine bottle with both hands
The next day, under the great expectation of the people of the imperial capital, the sun rose. The people of the imperial capital came to Wudoutai early, wanting to watch Cao Cheng be deposed.
Soon, the martial arts platform was packed with people. People are discussing who wins and who loses, and Cao Cheng's past crimes. Of course, there are martial arts, how can there be less gambling fights. Some good people started a gambling game, Luo Tiansheng lost five, and Cao Chengsheng lost 0.5.
Although the people of the imperial capital want to watch Cao Cheng be deposed, Cao Cheng's strength should not be underestimated, at the age of seventeen, the peak of the three-star Yaoyue realm, this realm is also excellent. As for Luo Tian, as early as yesterday, when he invited Cao Cheng to fight on the street, many people knew that Luo Tian only had the middle stage of the two-star Bright Moon Realm, and the Heavenly Mandate weapon was still the lowest level of white.
Cao Cheng is superior to Luo Tian in terms of strength, talent, and weapons, so the dealer is not optimistic that Luo Tian can win.
The people quickly placed their bets and waited for the two key figures to come into the fight.
Soon, Cao Cheng arrived, and Cao Cheng came not only alone, but also a group of entourage, and the momentum was huge.
After Cao Cheng arrived, he didn't say a word, he jumped directly on the martial arts platform, held his chest with his hands, and stood proudly in the center of the martial arts platform, his eyes slightly closed and his nostrils looking at the people in the audience.
Cao Cheng arrived, and the emotions of the people watching the excitement reached the highest point, and they were looking forward to the big battle for a while. They all bought Cao Cheng will win, if Cao Cheng wins, they will win money, if Cao Cheng loses and is abolished by Luo Tian, it is also a very happy thing, even if they lose money, it doesn't matter, after all, this is what they have been looking forward to for a long time.
People's psychology, it seems that Cao Cheng is really a great crime.
With this mentality, I have a little more expectations for this seemingly two-young man's fight.
However, people waited for a long time, and the other side did not show up. The time was past noon, the sun was shining, and the people who were originally in high spirits in the martial arts arena gradually became depressed.
After waiting for another hour, Luo Tian and the others still didn't come.
"That guy can't be scared, right?" said some in the crowd.
"No, I've heard that this contest was proposed by the young man, and even the punishment of the loser was proposed by him. If he didn't dare to fight, he didn't have to invite Cao Cheng to fight, after all, the Cao family was powerful, and it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the imperial capital if he offended the Cao family. A man said.
"It's coming, it's coming, the boy is coming. A sharp-eyed person in the crowd saw it, and the five Luo Tian people followed.
