The concubine Hongyue twisted in his arms, and this warm fragrance of nephrite jade could easily make men confused.

"When did Master Ben Hou treat the little baby of the Red Moon badly?"

Hongyue looked very proud, she stretched out her tender white jade hand and picked up a glass of wine, and brought it to Zhao Shijun's mouth, which was a response.

Three years ago, there was a lot of trouble and chaos in Youzhou.

Some of the gentry and merchants went bankrupt in an instant, or ran away one after another, and even the business of the Cuihong Mansion plummeted, and the door was crowded.

There are people in the Cuihong Building, you can't say that you will scatter, this Qinglou top card is not easy to come by, and the cost of maintaining it is not small.

Hongyue already felt a little unbearable, so she ran to the crotch of Lord Thorn Shi.

That's where we have the current pattern.

However, Zhao Shijun has a group of wives and concubines around him, like her, a concubine without any name, of course she knows that although she is pleased, she will make enough money.

Master Du, who was sitting next to Zhao Shijun, also had a singer in his arms, but he seemed a little absent-minded.

Today, I received a secret letter from Princess Tiele Lin Yuqian, and the pace of plotting to seize Youzhou is about to be accelerated, and the sky is about to change here.

Looking at the dignitaries in the hall who were drunk and dreaming of death, all of them were drunk and dreaming of death, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

At the same time, there is an inexplicable worry about his future.

He is now in the Youzhou Thorn History Mansion, although he is a staff member and an inconspicuous official position, but he can also be regarded as the henchman and chief master of the Hou Ye-Lord Thorn History.

But what will happen to Hou Ye Zhao after he falls, he really has no bottom in his heart.

What he was worried about was whether the head of the Jade Shadow Sect would abandon him as a rag once he was used up.

But the current backstage of the Jade Shadow Gate is the crown prince of the Final Jin Empire.

There's no way, it seems that I have to hug the thigh of Master Lin tightly and make the other party think that he has always been valuable.

Not only Zhao Shijun's intelligence here, but also planning in other aspects.

Since joining the Jade Shadow Gate, I have slowly heard some rumors about Master Lin, as long as I can get her appreciation, am I still afraid that I will not be able to soar?

Zhao Shijun is already a grasshopper after the autumn, and he can't jump for a few days, so he chooses another high branch, and he can be regarded as a handsome person who knows the times.

said a thousand things and ten thousand, no matter how Zhao Shijun is, he is not a person who does big things.

Greedy.

Compared with today's princes, it is a difference between cloud and mud.

Following Zhao Shijun, that's all he eats and drinks in this life, but if he switches to the prince, his future achievements should be limitless.

Scholars, achieving fame is their lifelong pursuit.

At this time, a personal soldier hurriedly ran outside the door, leaned over and whispered a few words in Zhao Shijun's ear.

"What, it's Cao Zhiping?"

Zhao Shijun's face suddenly showed surprise, "The removed general of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, Cao Qichang's son Cao Zhiping, a lost dog, how could he come to Youzhou?" Hmph, Cao Xiangye is really not willing to be lonely, and he actually caused trouble to me. ”

Other people heard that it was a fog cover in the clouds and mountains, and they didn't know who this Cao Zhiping was, but Master Du knew it.

His heart fluttered.

At this time, Cao Zhiping appeared, of course, to curry favor with Zhao Shijun.

"Let's go, since Cao Xiangye's concubine asks to see him, there must be something, take this marquis to meet him." Zhao Shijun stood up, turned to Master Du and said:

"Master Du, you can go with this Hou Ye and see what this Cao Zhiping wants to do?"

Master Du is right in the middle.

At present, there is chaos in Youzhou, and this Cao Zhiping came unexpectedly, which is definitely not a good thing.

can touch the opponent's hole cards, for Youzhou's next move, it must be very appropriate.

"Yes."

Master Du arched his hand, followed Zhao Shijun and walked towards the reception hall at the gate, surrounded by a group of guards.

Cao Zhiping is still unruly.

It's just a lot older than when he was in Yizhou.

Since being removed by Guo Wei, he has not returned to Kyoto's Cao Mansion.

He knew very well that there were so many concubines in Cao's mansion that he was like a wild dog when he was dismissed, and he had no use value.

Therefore, he quietly went to the Western Turk Helu and became a former general of Heluke, giving him advice and taking charge of intelligence.

Not long ago, there was a report from an undercover agent that Chen Jingnong of Wolf Claw Ridge suddenly led 3,000 soldiers to the east.

I was so suspicious that I decided to follow it myself.

As a result, it was found that Chen Jingnong arrived in Yuyang to stand by, and then quietly entered Yanshan with suspicious appearance.

Now, he is nonchalantly pacing around in the reception hall of Chengde Villa, admiring the other party's collection of celebrity calligraphy and paintings, antique treasures.

Footsteps were heard outside the door.

Cao Zhiping turned around with a smile, hugged his fists and waved at Zhao Shijun, who had a gloomy face, and said with a smile: "The junior Zhiping has seen his uncle, greet Zhao Houye!" ”

"Oh, it's Zhiping's nephew, sit down! There's no need to be so angry. ”

Seeing that the other party was making a big gift as a junior, Zhao Shijun didn't know what to say, he just snorted and walked straight to the top and sat down.

Cao Zhiping sat down under him.

Master Du bowed slightly to Cao Zhiping, and slowly walked to Zhao Shijun's side and stood.

"Zhiping Xian's nephew, you are not small, you dare to come to my Youzhou, you should know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already made a move against Cao Fu, are you afraid that my knife will not be good?" Zhao Shijun sneered.

Matters related to the rectification of Cao Fu and the Western Regions, and the thorough investigation of arms smuggling, caused a lot of trouble in northern Xinjiang.

The last time the soldiers admonished, Cao Fu dragged Zhao Min into the pit, and Zhao Shijun hated Cao Qichang to the core.

On the issue of treating Cao Mansion, Zhao Shijun is naturally on the side of the prince, and the people of Cao Mansion naturally can't pee in a pot.

Cao Zhiping smiled casually and said a little ridiculously:

"Uncle Zhao's knife is naturally sharp, but I don't know that it often cuts into those people's bodies, and the juniors track them for thousands of miles, but when I came to help you, I didn't expect that my uncle would speak ill of each other as soon as they met, which really chilled the juniors!"

This is a half-truth, and Zhao Shijun doesn't think so at all.

Only Master Du chuckled in his heart, his ears were erected, and he listened carefully.

Zhao Shijun laughed when he heard this, and grinned sarcastically:

"Cao Zhiping, you think Zhao is a three-year-old child, can you intimidate at will? Yes, the lumber yard uprising in Youzhou a few days ago also caused some trouble, but it can be pacified in a blink of an eye. ”

"After the autumn, the marquis can lie down in peace, you are a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect yourself, you dare to speak out, saying that you came to help Zhao, just rely on your bare commander, three inches of incorruptible tongue? I really don't know how to write dead words? ”

Cao Zhiping laughed loudly and said in a deep voice:

"The younger generation has forgotten, now Lord Thorn Shi has completely surrendered to the prince Yuanzhi, where do you need others, his 20,000 forbidden army is stationed in the Yuyang area, and the army is mighty."

"Everywhere I went, the thieves and bandits were so frightened that they fell apart, and of course Lord Assassin Shi could sit back and relax."

"It's just that Cao is deeply surprised, the bandit leader Chen Jingnong was originally a thief in the Western Regions, and he was just surrendered by the Great Sima Guo Wei a few years ago, and it is said that he was the general of Yingyang, why did he suddenly wander to this place in Northern Xinjiang to resume his old business?"

"Also, since the advance battalion of the forbidden army has entered the territory of Youzhou City, Chen Jingnong, who was once a defeated general, should have launched an encirclement and suppression a long time ago, but there has been no major movement so far, and those bandits are still alive and kicking."

Seeing this, Master Du hurriedly interjected:

"This Chen Jingnong of the Western Regions has fled to the northern Xinjiang to make trouble, and the specific reason is probably only clear to him, but the encirclement and suppression of the forbidden army of the imperial court has begun, and General Cao may not know it, just today, the task force has won another victory."

"Chen Jingnong's vitality has been greatly damaged, most of them have been forced to flee into the mountains and forests of Yanshan, two of the three logging sites have been liberated, and the rest is the last stronghold of the bandits, which has been surrounded by the advance battalion of the forbidden army, and annihilation is just around the corner."

Cao Zhiping was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Without waiting for Zhao Shijun's introduction, Master Du got up and arched his hand, and said loudly:

"Under the surname Du, he served as the staff governor of the Assassin's Mansion, and his cheap name is not enough to worry about."

"He's the chief master of this assassin's history!"

Zhao Shijun followed with an emphasis.

This is nothing more than raising the value of Master Du, don't let Cao Zhiping underestimate his own people.

"Hehe..."

Cao Zhiping just looked Master Du up and down, and he didn't get up to return the salute arrogantly, but just smiled slightly and continued to Zhao Shijun:

"Lord Thorn Shi, Cao likes to think about idle things, and I always feel that there is a sudden bandit in Youzhou, which is very strange."

"Chen Jingnong is cunning and changeable, the younger generation has dealt with him many times when he is in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and he is a dragon who sees the head but does not see the end."

"This time he suddenly fled to the Northern Frontier, it was definitely not because he couldn't stay in the Western Regions, so he considered the future of Youzhou Tu?"

"The juniors have traveled thousands of miles to come here, on the one hand to meet the elders, and on the other hand, they want to learn about it on the spot."

"It just so happened that Cao Mou saw a strange thing this morning, I wonder if Lord Assassin Shi wants to listen to it?"

Seeing his arrogant appearance, Zhao Shijun was angry, only to see him sneer:

"Cao Zhiping, don't pretend to be a ghost in front of Lao Tzu, if you have a fart, let it go, Lao Tzu still wants to drink."

Cao Zhiping saw that Zhao Shijun was angry, so he hurriedly restrained himself and said:

"That's right, Cao saw two armies in different costumes this morning, staggered, and the distance between them was only five or six miles, which was really the sound of chickens and dogs."

"At first, I thought it was the mobilization of soldiers and horses in Youzhou, but after a closer look, I found that one was actually a forbidden army task force camp with neat military discipline, and the other was Chen Jingnong's people, and the bandits in the mouth of adults."

"Cao has led soldiers, he can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, no matter how you look at it, I don't think Chen Jingnong looks like a defeated soldier, the two armies are separated by a few miles, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, it is really strange!"

Cao Zhiping said with a sneer on Tie Qing's face.

Zhao Shijun's face changed greatly after hearing this, "You... What do you mean? ”

"Lord Thorn Shi is reluctant to even give a cup of tea to the juniors, my mouth is dry!"

Cao Zhiping seemed to be confident, and he continued to tease.

Although Zhao Shijun said that he was unhappy, he still endured it and shouted: "Come on, serve tea to Mr. Cao." ”

After a while, a good pot of tea was served.
