"Daddy! How did you end up here! Cao Miao was taken to the Xufu Flower Hall and saw her father sitting in the chair on the right circle, and she said in surprise.

Cao Jian glanced at his daughter up and down, and was slightly relieved to see that she was safe.

He stood up, pulled his daughter to his side and sat down, glanced at his daughter, and then said, "Miao'er, this is Du Shizi of the Rongguo Mansion in Beijing." ”

Cao Miao chuckled in her heart after seeing her father's eyes, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile, "Cao Miao has seen Du Shizi, General Xu." ”

When the Cao family was in power, his father had never been so polite in front of Xu Zizhang.

Now her father is smiling and introducing Du Shizi to her, what else is there that she doesn't understand.

The battle between his father and the Xu family was lost, not only did he not win, but he also lost to the Xu family.

Playing an important role in this is this Du Shizi!

can fight for the interests of the Cao family by the side of the wolf king, Cao Miaozi is not an ordinary woman, and she knows how to judge the situation.

I also know when to say something.

Du Qinglin nodded and invited the Cao family's father and daughter to sit down.

The reason why the Cao family is still kept, and Cao Miao is not treated harshly, is entirely because the Cao family is still useful.

Du Qinglin didn't have time to sell Guanzi, so he said what he asked for the Cao family.

Cao Miao's son Pingyang is the son of the Wolf King, Qin Shuhuang sent someone to send a secret letter to Xia Gongcheng, the child born to the Wolf King's side concubine Yela has died, and Abiya's child is actually the Eagle King's, so the Wolf King's bloodline is only Pingyang from Cao Miao.

Although the old Khan King belittled the Wolf King, he liked the Eagle King's children very much.

In addition, the old Khan wanted to contain the Eagle King, and Pingyang had the support of Dawu, so he was the most suitable candidate for the old Khan King.

In order to balance the Eagle King, Du Qinglin asked the Cao family to secretly unite with the Old Khan King.

At this point, the Cao family has no other choice at all.

Cao Jian actually didn't want to accept this arrangement, and after thinking about it, he said, "What if General Liu gets involved?" At that time, I am afraid that the regent will not bypass our Cao family. ”

Xu Zizhang smiled, "Brother Cao, you don't know that General Liu has died in Beidi Wangcheng. ”

Cao Jian, who originally had a normal expression on his face, was stunned when he heard Xu Zizhang's words.

He could never have imagined that a ruthless regent like General Liu would die in the Beidi Royal City.

General Liu died, and their Cao family was controlled by the Xu family and Du Shizi, which was equivalent to the power of the regent being indirectly weakened by thirty percent!

In the future, will the regent of Dawu really continue to be in control?

Originally, with General Liu here, it was still a threat to Qin Shuhuang.

Now that General Liu is gone, the entire Xia Gong City has completely fallen into the hands of Qin Shuhuang.

Their Cao family no longer had a chance to resist, and if they wanted to survive, they had to obey Du Qinglin and Xu Zizhang's arrangement.

Seeing this, Cao Jian quickly adjusted his mentality and no longer resisted senselessly.

After informing General Cao Jianliu of the incident, Cao Jian's father and daughter were obviously more cooperative than before, and everything went smoothly.

Now wait for Qin Shuhuang to leave Beidi Wangcheng and return to Xia Gongcheng, and then Du Qinglin will return to the capital with Qin Shuhuang and Liu Renci.

Half a month later, Qin Shuhuang and his entourage arrived at Xia Gong City.

rested in Xia Gongcheng for three days, and rushed to the capital with the team led by Du Qinglin.

In order to prevent the Cao family from regenerating bad intentions, Du Qinglin and Xu Zizhang not only recovered the military power of the Cao family, but Du Qinglin also left Xu Zizhang with a thousand elite soldiers of the Du family.

At that time, these 1,000 elite soldiers of the Du family will follow the first caravan of trade between the two countries back to the capital.

It was still autumn when I set off from the capital to Beidi, and now it is the spring of the next year when I leave Xia Gongcheng.

When I return to the capital, I am afraid that it will be early summer.

When Qin Shuhuang rushed to the capital, Gu Hongchao was still in Beidi Wangcheng.

In order to get what King Ping wanted, Gu Hongchao didn't want to leave the royal city easily, so he rented a small courtyard in the royal city and went in and out every day to inquire about the news of the Beidi royal family.

It's a pity that it's been so long, and nothing has progressed.

On this day, Gu Hongchao went out early in the morning and stayed in the teahouse for a long time before coming back.

He rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, and was about to enter the courtyard where he rented, when he found a familiar figure standing at the gate of the courtyard.

This person is none other than the former Hiwaki Princess.

It's just that I haven't seen her for many days, and Princess Hihemu is no longer the noble girl who is full of luxury and arrogant.

She was dressed in patched tattered clothes, she was thinner than before, her face was dry and sallow, and she didn't even have a maid by her side.

The royal family that was belittled in Beidi did not live as well as ordinary people, and they would be bullied by the low-level people.

Princess Hiwaki is a portrayal.

Gu Hongchao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Your Royal Highness Princess, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if there is something to come to?" ”

In the past, her lingering male pet looked at her with contempt and rejection in his eyes.

Rihemu pulled the corners of his mouth coldly, "Gu Hongchao, give this princess a thousand taels of silver." ”

Gu Hongchao heard Princess Rihemu say this, the smile on the corner of his mouth was even bigger, he walked up to Princess Rihemu, smelled the sour smell left by Princess Rihemu after not taking a bath for many days, and immediately took two steps back, "Rihemu, do you still think you are Princess Beidi?" ”

Rihemu stared at Gu Hongchao, "When Princess Ben gave you so many good things, don't you feel ashamed?" Now this princess only asks you for a thousand taels. ”

"Hiheki, you also know that it was the beginning, Your Royal Highness the Princess, let's recognize the reality as soon as possible!" After speaking, Gu Hongchao entered the courtyard and ordered Chang Sui beside him to stop Rihemu.

When the gate of the small courtyard was about to close, Rihemu stood at the door and shouted: "Gu Hongchao, give me a thousand taels, and I will tell you where your sister is!" ”

Gu Hongchao's steps towards the courtyard paused when he heard this.

He looked back at Hiwaki, who had a sneer on the corner of his mouth outside the courtyard gate.

"Gu Hongchao, your sister, Gu Yufei!"

Gu Hongchao's expression made Ri Hemu completely confirm that Gu Yufei was definitely Gu Hongchao's sister.

After so many days, Rihemu also reacted that what Gu Yufei said at the beginning might be true, but she was not sure until this moment.

Gu Hongchao's sneering look on his face receded, and he glanced at Chang Entourage, "Princess, please come in and speak." ”

After experiencing the beatings of life, Hiwaki is no longer as stupid as it used to be.

What are you kidding, she is only one person, if she enters Gu Hongchao's courtyard, it is very likely that she will not be able to come out alive.

"I won't go in, if you want to know, just exchange it with me for silver, and if you don't want to know, forget it."

Gu Hongchao gritted his teeth, saw the crowd coming and going on the street outside the courtyard, and wanted to know Gu Yufei's news, at this time he had no choice but to let Chang Sui go and take a silver ticket of one thousand taels of silver.

When Gu Hongchao handed the silver ticket to Rihemu, Rihemu also told Gu Hongchao the news she knew.

After the exchange, Hiwaki stuffed a stack of silver tickets into his arms and quickly disappeared at the end of the street, often chasing after him but not catching up.

In the afternoon, Gu Hongchao appeared in the hook bar of a Beidi......
