Cao Yun and Lei Bo led the troops to the outside of Cao's mansion, and Cao Yun turned over and dismounted and walked into the mansion.

"Everyone in the house gathers. Cao Yun walked into the courtyard and shouted.

The housekeeper of the Cao Mansion hurriedly ran to Cao Yun's side and asked, "Young Master, what happened?"

"Uncle Chen, you hurry up and gather everyone in the Cao Mansion here. I went looking for my mother. Cao Yun said and walked inside.

"Young master, young master. Steward Chen hurriedly grabbed Cao Yun, "Young Master, Madam went to the Guyue Temple on Yulou Mountain outside the city earlier. ”

"What?" Cao Yun was surprised when he heard this, and stood in place and pondered for a moment, "Uncle Chen, you quickly gather everyone in the mansion and follow General Lei outside to my father's barracks." ”

After Cao Yun finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of Cao's mansion. Cao Yun hurriedly walked up to Lei Bo, "General Lei, my mother has gone to the Guyue Temple outside the city, and asked the general to transfer seven hundred soldiers to me, I will go and pick up my mother, and the rest of the people in the mansion will also ask the general to take to the barracks." ”

"Cao Shao, just rest assured!" Lebo said.

"Thank you, General!"

After Cao Yun finished speaking, he turned over and jumped on the horse, and was about to whip the horse, Lei Bo shouted: "Cao Shao, I will go with you, and I will let my subordinate commanders escort them to the barracks." ”

At this time, Lei Bo had already reacted, just now Cao Yun came out and hurriedly asked for soldiers, Lei Bo naturally agreed, and now he realized that Cao Yun was going out of the city to pick up his mother, Lei Bo knew that Cao Hao's main task of sending him out with Cao Yun was to save Cao Yun's mother.

Cao Yun and Lei Bo then led 700 soldiers out of the city, leaving 300 soldiers to escort the maids in Cao's mansion to the barracks.

"Master, these sergeants seem to be going out of the city, should we still follow?" asked the green-robed girl.

"Go, follow. ”

State Pastoral Hall.

"Young Master, the people from the Thirteen Pavilion said that Cao Yun was rescued by the masters, not that the people they sent were ineffective. A black-robed middle-aged man in front of Liu Shan said.

Liu Shan didn't react when he heard this, the black-robed middle-aged man in front of him was hunched over, not daring to look up at Liu Shan.

"Young Master. A young man who looked like a family man ran in from outside the door, "Young master, General Li Yi, who went to the barracks to replace Cao Hao, was detained, everyone in Cao's mansion was taken to the barracks, and Cao Xian also went to the barracks. There is also that Cao Yun led 700 soldiers out of the city. The boy told all the information in one go.

After Liu Shan heard this, he squinted his eyes and rolled his eyes, and it didn't take long for Liu Shan to raise his head and say in a deep voice.

"Inform the whole city that the governor has died. ”

"Yes, young master. ”

Qingyang Kuaifu.

Kuai Yue lit a stick of jade incense, the incense was passed from the Great Qin Dynasty, with the effect of awakening the mind, Confucian scholars often lit a pillar when reading, used to purify thoughts.

Cai Mao took a sip of tea, put the teacup down and said, "It's been a long time since we've been burning incense and making tea together, right?"

Kuai Yue also took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said softly: "It's been a few years! The last time you and I were together, it happened to rain that day!"

"Back then, you and I were also ambitious, but now we are all in vain!" Cai Mao said with some emotion.

"You didn't come here to catch up with me, did you?" Kuai Yue said softly, without much emotion between his words, and he didn't seem as enthusiastic as Cai Mao who hadn't seen him for many years.

Cai Mao was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he had been calculating Kuai Yue back then, and in the end, both of them were calculated by Cao Xian, so he launched the stage in Qingzhou. After so many years, Kuai Yue has not forgotten the original hatred.

"Liu Yu should have left. Cai Mao coughed lightly and said.

"Expected. Kuai Yue said lightly.

"This could be an opportunity. Cai Mao said in a heavy voice.

Kuai Yue didn't reply, Cai Mao continued: "Since the chaos of the Yellow Turban, the Ming Dynasty has been endangered, and most of the princes in the world have become self-reliant. King Ming is also critically ill, once he goes west, I am afraid that the world will be..."

"Brother Cai, let's be cautious!" Kuai Yue said in a deep voice.

"Brother Kuai, what's this..." Just as Cai Mao was about to say something, there was a knock on the door outside the room.

"Master, there is a herald from the state governor's office. The housekeeper shouted outside the room, obviously the order is very important, otherwise the housekeeper will not come to pass the word when the master is entertaining, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao glanced at each other, and then got up and walked out of the room alone.

Cai Mao still sat in place, picked up the teacup and took a sip, her eyes already narrowed.

"Driving"

Cao Yun whipped his horse, and Lei Bo led seven hundred soldiers to gallop out of Qingyang City and go to Yulou Mountain, where Guyue Temple is located.

As soon as he came to the Guyue Temple, Cao Yun saw many people running down from Yulou Mountain in horror, constantly exclaiming in their mouths, and their expressions were also very terrifying. Cao Yun's heart sank, and he hurriedly ran towards Yulou Mountain, and Lei Bo also hurriedly dismounted and led the soldiers to follow.

It didn't take long for Yu Ji and the girl in green shirts to arrive at the foot of Yulou Mountain, looking at the frightened crowd running down, Yu Ji looked up at Yulou Mountain, "Well, there is black gas on the top of the mountain, there must be people in the Demon Dao, Yao'er, you are waiting for me here." ”

"Master. Su Yao looked at Yu Ji who was flying away and shouted. Yu Ji didn't look back and agree, Su Yao had to kick her legs and stand in place and wait.

As soon as Cao Yun ran halfway up the mountain, he met his mother Wang Yun and Wang Yun's maid Xiao Tao who ran down with the panicked crowd.

"Mother. Cao Yun hurriedly shouted at Wang Yun.

"Cao Er run, there are demons on the mountain. Wang Yun hurriedly shouted, and at this moment, a black gas shot out from the black cloud, Cao Yun rushed over and pushed Wang Yun away, but he was hit by the black gas. The black gas shot into Cao Yun's body, and Cao Yun opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Cao Er", "Cao Shao", Wang Yun and Lei Bo all exclaimed.

The black qi shot into Cao Yun's body, and Cao Yun instantly felt that his vitality was dissipating, and a great terror rose in his heart. At this moment, several blue lights came, followed by several yellow runes, and a blue light submerged into Cao Yun's body, and the yellow runes were pasted on Cao Yuntian's spiritual cover. The people around him who were shot by the blue light all fainted, Cao Yun was still awake, holding on to a tree beside him, Wang Yun and Lei Bo hurriedly stepped forward to support Cao Yun.

"Where is the demon?" Yu Ji roared in the air, and the sound debuted, and bursts of blue light shot towards the black clouds with the word Dao. This is the debut of the supernatural power, so I often see some cultivators shouting and shouting when they fight, this is all supernatural power, the words are the law, and the sound is the Tao.

The black clouds fled at once, and Yu Ji chased after him, far away.

Looking at Yu Ji who flew away, Cao Yun had long forgotten the pain in his body, and was surprised in his heart, "Is there really someone in this world who can fly to the sky?"

"Cao'er, you're okay, right?" Wang Yun asked worriedly.

"Mother, I'm fine, cough cough. ”

"Let's get out of here. Wang Yun said anxiously, as if he was worried that the black cloud would appear again.

Cao Yun walked down Yulou Mountain with the support of Lei Bo, and as soon as he walked out of the mountain, Su Yao stopped in front of Cao Yun in one step.

"Where's my master?" asked Su Yao, tilting her head.

"Your master?" Looking at the green-shirted woman blocking in front of him, Cao Yun was a little surprised.

"My master followed you up, why didn't he follow you down?" asked Su Yao hurriedly.

"Your master is the one who can fly in the sky?" Cao Yun asked cautiously.

"The one who flew up was my master. ”

Cao Yun thought for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "Your master chased that black cloud, and before leaving, he told me to let me bring the girl under the mountain to my house, that girl can't be you, right?" Cao Yun wanted to deceive this girl, and wanted to use this to get in touch with the master who could fly, of course, Cao Yun also knew that there was a great danger in this way.

"Really?" asked Su Yao with a slight tilt of her head.

"What did I lie to you, your master wants to chase that demon, so naturally he can't control you, and it just so happens that your master saved my life again, so he asked me to take care of you temporarily. Cao Yun continued to lie, and Lei Bo, who was holding him, looked at Cao Yun strangely, thinking that this Cao Yun couldn't have any crooked thoughts about the beautiful girl in front of him, right?

Lei Bo helped Cao Yun onto the horse, and then led the troops to escort Cao Yun and Wang Yun and others back to Qingyang City, and Su Yao also followed. Lei Bo asked one of his lieutenants to give the horse to Su Yao, and Su Yao turned over and got on the horse, and her posture was very vigorous.

Cao Yun was shot into his body by the black qi, although Yu Ji used humane green qi and yellow fu to suppress and expel the black qi, Cao Yun's body was still injured, and he didn't dare to whip and hurry on the horse, so the group had to move forward slowly.

"Cao'er, your face is getting worse and worse, go back to the mansion and quickly ask Doctor Chen to show you, and I will give you stewed pigeon soup to drink." Wang Yun said to Cao Yun worriedly.

"Mother, I can't go back to the house later, let's go directly to my father's barracks. Cao Yun said softly, looking powerless.

"How do you go to your father's barracks, by the way, shouldn't you practice martial arts with Mr. Wang in the barracks and school? Why did you come to Guyue Temple?" Wang Yun asked confusedly.

"I can't say it for a while, but I'll know when I get to the barracks later. Cao Yun said with a deep breath.

"Here, this is a pill of refinement. Su Yao said and handed Cao Yun a yellow pill, with a reluctant face, as if he was unwilling to give the pill to Cao Yun.

Cao Yun thanked him and then took the pill, put it in his mouth and swallowed it straight into his stomach, the pill melted as soon as it entered Cao Yun's body, and Cao Yun felt that his spirit had recovered a lot.

"Thank you, Miss Xie. After Cao Yuntong took the pill, he thanked Su Yao again.

Su Yao pursed her lips and didn't reply. Cao Yun chuckled, feeling much better, and whipped his horse to let everyone go quickly.

After returning to Qingyang City, the group ran straight towards the military camp, and after dismounting, Cao Yun led a few people towards the military engine room. Cao Yun, who was far away, heard the voice of his grandfather Cao Xian's reprimand. Cao Yun and his mother Wang Yun glanced at each other and walked quickly, while Lei Bo and Su Yao stood in place and did not follow.

"Bastard, who made you transfer troops like this?" Cao Xian roared angrily again.

The door of the room was open, and Cao Yun and Wang Yun walked in and saw Cao Xian sitting on the main seat, while Cao Hao stood with his head bowed respectfully.

"Grandpa, Father"

"Cao Er, you're okay, right?" Cao Xian got up and walked in front of Cao Yun, "Your face is so pale?" Looking at Cao Yun, who was a little pale, Cao Xian's face was also gloomy.

"Tell me about the situation when I was assassinated this morning?" Cao Xian asked in a deep voice, and Wang Yun on the side exclaimed in surprise when he heard the word assassination.

"Cao'er, who assassinated you?"

Cao Yun then told the scene of the assassination, and Wang Yun was furious when he heard it.

"There are still people in Qingyang City who dare to assassinate Cao Er, is there really no one in my Cao family? Not long ago, a He Shidi, now assassinated, what will be in the future?" Wang Yun said extremely angrily.

Cao Xian pondered and returned to his position, Cao Hao raised his head and said: "Father, it's not that I want to transfer troops at will, but Cao Er was assassinated, and I was also transferred out of Qingyang, all of this seems too sudden, I just want to keep the whole family safe." ”

"What? You were transferred out of Qingyang?" Wang Yun said loudly after hearing this, and then Wang Yun seemed to think of something, and after thinking for a while, he asked Cao Xian, "Father, have you also been transferred out of the position of Taishou?"

Cao Xianyan nodded when he heard this.

"Father, then Liu Shan just wants to control the entire Qingzhou with thunder means, and he also wants to get rid of our Cao family. What he Liu Shan is trying to do is not small, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry?" Cao Hao said in a heavy voice.

"What else does Liu Shan want, who can compete with him for the position of Qingzhou pastor, and it's nothing to transfer my family to Jiangling, why assassinate Cao Er?" Cao Xian said with a calm face.

"Father, as long as we are still in Qingzhou, we will be feared by Liu Shan, if he wants to completely control Qingzhou, he will definitely get rid of us!" Cao Hao said quickly.

"Can't he be like his father?" Cao Xian said.

"Grandpa, in today's situation, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the princes of the world have actually become self-reliant, and they have long had the intention of conquest, just waiting for the son to go west today. That Liu Yu is gentle by nature, so he is naturally not an ambitious person. But that Liu Shan is different, since he was a child, he has the heart of subduing Qingzhou Yingjie, often regards himself as a hero, and has the ambition to look down on the world. What's more, with Liu Shan's ambition, I am afraid that he wants to hunt the world with all the princes, and people with such ambitions, no matter who they are, cannot tolerate the existence of such a powerful family as my family. Cao Yun said to Cao Xian in a deep voice.

"A person who wants to achieve great things does not depend on whether he can eliminate the power of his subordinates, but whether he can balance the power of his subordinates. Cao Xian said lightly

"Grandpa, he Liu Shan may understand this truth, but he can't wait, what he wants is to control Qingzhou now. If we don't take action, Liu Shan will definitely deal with us. Cao Yun said.

"Cao'er, the gentleman is indisputable, my Cao family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and what I uphold is the gentleman!" Cao Xian looked at Cao Yun and said, thinking that Cao Yun wanted some fame and fortune.

"Grandpa, the gentleman does not argue, that is the realm of paying attention to food and clothing without any necessity, and now we are in a dangerous situation. In a dangerous place, a gentleman has to fight hard, if he doesn't even have his life, what kind of Confucian realm can he talk about?" Cao Yun was a little anxious.

Just as Cao Hao was about to say something, a lieutenant ran in and said that the herald of the state pastoral mansion was coming. Cao Hao then followed the lieutenant out to meet the herald.

"Cao'er, don't think about things so simply, the state pastor is not so easy to do. If I had asked your father to help me replace Liu Shan, how would all the Confucian scholars in Qingzhou think of me? It would be easy to replace one person's position, but it would be difficult to win the hearts of Confucian scholars in the world! If these Confucian scholars in Qingzhou were no longer officials in Qingzhou, would our family still be able to run the huge Qingzhou? Now all Confucian students are very arrogant!" Cao Xian said to Cao Yun earnestly.

"Grandpa, I can understand this, but we can't just wait for him Liu Shan to do it! For so many years, that Liu Shan has been very cruel to me. Cao Yun said lightly.

"I also know that Liu Shan has been squeezed in the youth circle of Qingzhou for so many years, which gave Na He Shidi the opportunity to use you. However, after experiencing this incident with you, I feel that you are much more stable. But a person who really achieves great things, his emotions cannot be so easily influenced. Cao Xian looked at Cao Yun and said.

Cao Yun nodded when he heard this, and Cao Xian continued: "It's like if you were assassinated today, the first reaction of ordinary people after being assassinated is to take revenge with great fanfare. ”

"The grandson was taught. Cao Yun bowed his head and said.

"Liu Shan asked someone to assassinate you, the successful assassination will be a game, and if the assassination is unsuccessful, isn't it a game?"

Cao Xian's question made Cao Yun raise his head in surprise, and then he felt that he was thinking about things too simply. Cao Yun broke out in a cold sweat on his back, thinking that he would be extremely powerful with the memory of two lifetimes, but now he found that the heroes in the world should not be underestimated.
