"Awesome, what's the situation?"

"Don't ask me about the specific situation, the owner of the restaurant here is still there, and I can't talk to you for too long. You go to find the kid of Emperor Jue, his kid is now mixed up, and he is a son-in-law in Cao Mansion, you are looking for him, he is better informed than me. By the way, he is now under the pseudonym Huang Jue. ”

"Juehuang Huang Jue, the name is really arbitrary." After ordering a few dishes casually, eating a few bites and pretending to be, Li Shou left Xiaoyaoju.

He then inquired all the way and came to the gate of Cao's mansion.

The scale of this Cao Mansion is much larger than the Li family in the inner city of the previous world.

Because the management of the Zhou State here was not strict, the local gentry forces naturally formed.

Moreover, these local forces have great authority, have countless fields, and can support doormen and a large number of private soldiers, which is simply a country within a country.

It's just that this is also a major force of the Zhou State against the Qing State.

The resistance of the local gentry to the Qingguo was fiercer than that of the border army and the soldiers and horses of the counties.

The soldiers and horses of the county sometimes still rely on food and salary, and after losing the battle here, they can continue to be soldiers and generals in another place.

But the gentry is different.

The gentry belong to the local forces, and all the sources of property come from their private land, and if they lose, they have nothing.

Moreover, once Qingguo was successfully occupied, the suppression of the gentry was very serious, and all resources were concentrated on the royal power.

Therefore, the local gentry of the Zhou State spared no effort to resist the Qing army.

The Cao family is one of the famous gentry in Changping County.

Li Shou stood outside the gate of Caofu, looked at the watchtower and arrow tower inside, and sighed that all the laws in the world did not seem to be perfect, but they complemented each other.

The "way of balance" emphasizes the mutual balance of all things in the world, and seems to be the most complex kind of rule.

"What are you doing standing outside the door?" The gentry in a place like Cao Mansion were naturally heavily guarded, and Li Shou only stood outside the door for a few more moments, and a private soldier wearing armor stepped forward to question.

"I'm looking for Huang Jue, I'm his friend."

"Wait."

The private soldier went back to report the news, and after a while, Emperor Jue followed a girl out of the inside.

The maiden walked in front, and he was behind him.

The girl looks about the same age as Emperor Jue, and she is also twenty-eight years old, and because she is from a wealthy family, her temperament is very good, and her face is also fair-skinned and lovely.

'Domineering women always fall in love with me!' ’

Li Shou wanted to laugh when he saw this, but he couldn't help it and greeted Emperor Jue in a half-ancient and half-white language.

"Ahem, I've seen Huang Gongzi."

"......" Emperor Jue was a little embarrassed to see Li Shou's teasing appearance, but he still held back his embarrassment and responded: "Li Gongzi hasn't seen you for a long time." ”

"Huang Lang, don't you want to introduce this brother?"

"Poofhahahaha......" Seeing that the girl's name was Juehuang Huanglang, Li Shou couldn't help laughing anymore.

This attracted the attention of some people around, and in Cao's Mansion, there were even powerful doormen who looked over here from time to time, for fear that strangers would hurt Miss.

"Why is Childe laughing?"

"It's fine." Li Shou reined in his mind, this is the door of Cao's mansion, and the basic etiquette is still required, "It's just that when I see my old friend, I am happy in my heart, and I am rude." ”

"It's okay, the son is also a person of temperament, and the little woman Cao Muzhi has seen the child."

"I've seen Miss Cao."

"Muzhi, I want to talk to Brother Li, you ......"

"Let's go into the mansion and talk, I'll arrange a quiet teahouse." While Cao Muzhi was talking, he wanted to lead Li Shou into the mansion.

Li Shou naturally didn't shirk it, and followed them in.

After entering, Li Shou felt the strength of Cao Mansion even more.

After entering, there are not only all kinds of watchtowers, but also a lot of wooden figures made of organs, there are not too many flowers and plants in it, all kinds of weapons and tools made of organs, full of war wind.

All kinds of tricks, plus private soldiers and doormen, have guarded this place so impregnably, and the city may not be broken here.

"There are many outlaws in Qingguo, and the dead often come to us to assassinate, so don't be surprised by the son."

The front hall is the machine technique and arrow tower, and in the middle of the Cao Mansion is a huge martial arts arena.

There were two or three thousand elite soldiers trained inside.

A true city within a city, a country within a state.

"I've seen it!" Li Shou has never seen this scene of raising thousands of private soldiers at home, but he has only seen it in history books.

Seeing it with my own eyes now is something that feels spectacular.

'Juehuang, this kid is a real big family. But the big family is as deep as the sea, and it is never easy to get along...... The young lady in the big family has always had to be a political marriage, and it is useless to give Fang Xin to the poor boy, and I don't know how many grievances this kid has suffered in order to complete the task. ’

Just when Li Shou's heart was spinning, a person in the martial arts arena stepped forward to block the way of everyone passing by.

"It's you surnamed Huang again! Forget it by mixing in yourself, and dare to bring a stranger in this time! The person who came looked Li Shou up and down, and his eyes were not good.

"Fifth brother, this is Huang Lang's friend."

"What bullshit Huang Lang! That is, your mother died early, your father spoiled you, and if you were replaced by a second sister, this kid would have died eight hundred times in our Cao Mansion. The surname Huang is not like a good person, and I think his friend is also like a spy in Qingguo! ”

"What should I do?" Li Shou looked at the vicious image of the person who found fault in front of him, but he understood part of Emperor Jue's suffering, and he didn't want to cause trouble to the other party, so he hurriedly leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to endure it, or give you a strong face?" ”

"Give me some face, I'm lower than a dog here, but be careful not to injure people to death......"

"Got it!"

"What are you two muttering, are you making a secret word to Qingguo?"

"Deliberately find fault with a better reason, right? If we were Qingguo, we would not have appeared in such an eye-catching way. What do you want to say, do you want to try your hand? ”

With Emperor Jue's approval, Li Shou stepped forward and provoked directly.

The fifth elder of the Cao family was stunned when he heard this, looked Li Shou up and down, and then looked at the thousands of private soldiers over there, everyone was watching, and it was impossible for him to say whether he would try his hand or not.

"How daring! Come, in the martial arts arena, life and death don't matter! ”

"Okay."

"Huang Lang, this son, he ......" Cao Muzhi still wanted to stop it, but Emperor Jue shook his head, "It's okay." ”

Li Shou followed the fifth child of the Cao family to the martial arts arena.

In front of thousands of private soldiers, the other party stepped forward and drew a long-handled battle axe as a blade.

"You pick your weapon, don't say I'm bullying you."

"Haha, no, I'm used to doing it with my bare hands!"

"Okay, I wonder if you can still have such a hard mouth when you die?"

After the two distanced themselves in the field, in the eyes of everyone, the fifth child of the Cao family took the lead.

The long-handled battle axe swept in, and the momentum was full.

"Yes, no wonder it is so arrogant, this strength is much more powerful than the great martial artists of the upper world, but this overall strength is slightly inferior to that of the ancient capital. 'When he didn't cultivate a month ago, Li Shou could easily handle Zhan Gu.

After cultivating in the past month, his defense and strength have improved a lot, and he is not afraid at all.

didn't dodge or dodge at the moment, and directly resisted this sweep.

"Dang" sound.

The battle axe swept around Li Shou's waist and made a sound of gold and iron.

This attack was powerful, and the sound naturally spread throughout the audience.
