Chapter 273: Cao Yanchun's Death

"It's too late to say anything now, my Yu family is basically a family raider, the family is ruined, if I don't have a record, I played a golden cicada out of the shell, and now I haven't died unjustly on Huangquan Road and become a lonely ghost."

"Therefore, my biggest wish now is to take revenge and revenge again, Cao Fu and Prince Yuanzhi, no one is missing."

Seeing that Yu Kefan had said everything about this, Cao Yanchun knew that it would be useless to say anything now.

"Okay third uncle, today I am willing to take my own life and pay you for it, I and Deshan are cousins, and the eldest son of the family is also the son of the family, so it is fair to exchange one life for another, I have no complaints, there is only one request, that is, from now on, the debts of our two families will be cleared in two, and you are not allowed to hurt our Cao family."

Cao Yanchun sighed and said.

Yu Kefan took two steps forward and replied:

"I can basically agree to your request, except for Cao Qichang, Jia Gongwang, and Dugucheng, don't worry, your wife and children, including your eldest son Zewei, who ran away just now, I will not send someone to chase after you."

"I resisted, my father, you can't let him go?"

"No, I can't." Yu Kefan shook his head resolutely and said in a deep voice:

"Your father is ruthless and sinful, for his own interests, he can deny his relatives and sacrifice everything from others, if he betrays his relatives in the future, it will also be the end he deserves, as a man, I still admire you very much, you can go with peace of mind, no matter what the flood behind him."

Cao Yanchun looked up to the sky and sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Third uncle, I hope you keep your promise." ”

With that, he raised his sword and pulled it around his neck.

"Porphyry..."

A stream of scarlet blood soared into the air.

Cao Yanchun's right hand hung down, and the demon slaying sword fell on the road, and his tall body fell down the road with a click.

……

In late February, a few days before Qingming.

On the post road leading to Chang'an, a four-horse carriage slowly advanced along the official road.

The carriage looked heavy.

More than a dozen sturdy guards with knives rode tall horses to support the sides.

At the front, on a tall horse, was a middle-aged man with a long beard and an elegant look.

He is none other than Zou Baichuan, who is based in Yizhou, the head of business in the western Xinjiang of Caofu, and the chief of staff.

He has been in charge of the Cao family's border trade in the Western Regions, including the smuggling of various armaments.

A few years ago, Ye Yinting, the general of the Guazhou Daoxing Battalion, was forced by Guo Wei's great Sima to send officials Zhang Jie and Wang Wei to Yizhou to investigate the arms smuggling case.

As a result, Cao Zhiping placed a secret warehouse in the suburbs, which was designed by the Eagle Claw Ridge horse bandits.

not only deceived a large number of strategic materials, but also stabbed Zhang Jie with the relevant information of this secret warehouse.

Zhang Jie rushed here, and now he became full of stolen goods, which made Cao Zhiping distressed.

After that, Zhang Jie reported these seized things and sorted out materials to the General's Mansion.

Of course, Ye Yinting didn't dare to make his own claims, and he immediately reported it to Guo Weida.

Guo Wei immediately stopped Cao Zhiping, the chief general of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and urgently transferred Guo Rui from the north to the Western Regions, and concurrently served as the chief general of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

Zou Baichuan saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly secretly escorted the gold and silver obtained from the three smuggling years ago back to Beijing, ready to hand them over to Caofu.

It was too far from the Western Regions to Chang'an, and they set out in the second half of the first month and walked for nearly thirty days before reaching the outskirts of Kyoto.

Escorting gold and silver treasures is very different from escorting ordnance.

Ordnance can be escorted by the local garrison in sections with great fanfare, and the horse bandits and robbers along the way dare not make any attempts, and no one dares to risk the destruction of the Nine Clans.

And the gold and silver treasures can not be fanfare, and they need to be disguised and can only be secretly escorted, so that they are afraid of encountering some horse bandits and robbers on the way.

Zou Baichuan was nervous.

For if he lost all these gold and silver treasures on the way, he could find a place to wipe his neck.

It made him tremble along the way.

From Yizhou in the Western Regions to the capital Chang'an, there are 4,000 miles to go straight to the post road, who dares to guarantee that there will be no mistakes?

Fortunately, he had a military token on him, which he secretly used when Cao Qichang and Yu Kefan were in office.

With this token, Zou Baichuan can stay overnight at the official post along the way.

When necessary, you can also use this token to dispatch more than 100 local garrisons.

"It's a fucking chore!"

Zou Baichuan complained along the way.

The journey took 30 days, running more than 100 miles every day, bumpy and tiring.

When he saw the towering tower of Chang'an, the capital, he felt that his trip could finally come to an end.

As soon as you hand over your belongings to Caofu, you must find a place, find a beautiful girl, have a good time, relax and relax.

I have been more tired than anyone else along the way, not only physically tired, but mainly mentally tired.

Inadvertently, enter the first checkpoint of the capital Chang'an.

"Stop and check..."

One of Jin Wuwei's team members held high the order flag and stopped the car and shouted.

A guard under Zou Baichuan stepped forward to hand over the customs clearance document.

"Don't have a list of the items in the carriage? Routine check-ups are required. ”

The team snorted coldly, and with a wave of their hand, more than a dozen Jinwu guards surrounded them, ready to get on the car for inspection.

"Wait."

Zou Baichuan snorted and took out a gold token from his arms.

This token is the same size as the military token, but it is made of pure gold, and the word 'Jin' is printed on both sides.

"This car is the personal belongings of King Jin, do you still need to check it?"

Jin Wuwei's checkpoint officers naturally understand the sphere of influence of the royal ministers in the capital, and of course they have to understand the rules.

Otherwise, a stunned boy has offended all the dignitaries and nobles, and it is impossible to continue to mix in Jin Wuwei.

This kind of gold token engraved with the word Jin represents the king of Jin himself.

The look of the checkpoint team changed, and they hurriedly waved their hands to withdraw the soldiers, clasped their hands into fists, and said:

"Humble and clumsy, please go slowly." Then he shouted at the sentry booth, "Release!" ”

The convoy rattled and continued on the road.

Zou Baichuan had a disdainful sneer on his face.

A few hundred meters away from the checkpoint, you will go to the west gate of the outer city in front.

Suddenly, there was a rush of horses' hooves ahead.

A group of cavalry rushed out from inside the outer city gate, and the shouts of giving way were heard from time to time.

Zou Baichuan raised his head, looked at the luxurious honor guard of the person, his body shook suddenly, and he hurriedly said:

"Quick, get the wagon to the side of the road and let their men pass first."

The group hurriedly moved to the side of the road and stopped.

Dozens of knights in bright armor rode their horses, followed by several horses.

Looking at the knights' costumes, as long as they are not just in Beijing, or they have never seen anything in the world, everyone knows that these people are the royal Qianniuwei.

The prince drove out of the city.
