Li Huaili felt a slight noise around him, and he was busy with his luck and was ready for battle. "Who beat you like this?" Li Huaili heard the voice, and the heart he was carrying finally let go, and the person who came was ripples. "The man was masked, he couldn't see his appearance clearly, he used a dagger, and he cultivated in the second grade, and his body was very fast. Ripple looked at Li Huaili carefully, "How long has that person been gone?" It's been ten minutes. Ripple frowned, such visibility made a second-grade body master run for about ten minutes first, and he was not sure to catch up. Tell me about the situation, and Ripple found a step and sat down.

Li Huai Li briefly told Ripple everything he had encountered after going out, and Ripple said, "Your Golden Armor Sutra was broken head-on by a dagger?" Li Huai Li said with palpitations: "I don't understand why, he just stared at me and beat me in a sea of qi, like a nail, he kept poking and pierced the ......" The more he spoke, the more he felt empty, and he quietly glanced at the ripples, and saw that her face was uncertain. Li Huai Li, a heart has also fallen to the bottom, and if he spoils this plan that has been planned for more than a month, what kind of liquidation will he face. "Are you sure he's really using a dagger?" The rippling voice interrupted Li Huaili's grief. Li Huai Li was stunned for a moment, why did Lord Ripple bother with this? Hurriedly said: "The slave is very sure, the minion's left hand was cut off by him with a dagger. Li Huai raised his hand, although it didn't hurt so much, but the imprint in his heart had been marked, as long as he saw that person, he would always remember what happened tonight, and I hope I wouldn't meet that person again in the future.

Ripple knew that Li Huaili didn't need to lie to herself, she believed it at the beginning, but she couldn't think of anyone other than Xu Ping who could break through the golden armor of Li Huai Li, who had broken the second-grade barrier and penetrated into the first-grade realm with half of his body. "It turns out that you may not be a second-grade invincible, but it's a pity that you didn't have a chance to meet that person. Li Huaili was stunned and looked at the ripples with tears and muttered with a smile, this woman actually shed tears?

Ripple realized that his emotions were a little out of control, and felt inexplicable, just the death of half a friend who was a little similar to himself, why was he so sad. She noticed that Li Huai Li was stunned, and the killing intent flashed in his eyes, his weak state was seen by others, and it was easy to become an attack point for people with intentions. Ripple took a deep breath and calmed down, his qi sea was damaged now, but the realm was at least a good grade, and this person would be of great use in the next few days, and it would not be too late to kill him after the mission was over. "Come with me, go back to Haining Palace, there is still a chance to save the matter. When the task is over, I will settle the score with you. Ripple stood up, his face cold, and his tone was cold. "Yes, sir. Li Huaili was overjoyed, if Ripple said that there would be a reward after the mission, then he would have to run away even if he worked hard. If the mission is successful, it is likely that you will be able to make up for it, not to die, and at most to shed your skin. If it weren't for the death-defying situation, he would never dare to run away, and Shuibo Pavilion was too famous in Zeguo. The two left the abandoned house one after the other, each with their own thoughts. Ripple thought about the feasibility of the next plan, and Li Huaili thought, Lord Ripple has always been dressed in blue, why did he wear a white dress today?

......

......

In the slightly noisy forest at night, Xu Ping's figure was nowhere to be found, only the occasional footprints marked his journey. Just now I could clearly feel that Li Huaili's aura had changed, it was mostly a harbinger of a product, but unfortunately I couldn't kill him, and he was a disaster after all. But why didn't he break through to the first grade? Obviously, he had just surpassed his own limit, and Xu Ping could clearly feel the existence of that barrier. The phaseless internal force is like a tornado, revolving around the empty non-existent axis in the middle, Xu Ping pondered, could it be that his efforts are in the wrong direction, and the promotion path of the phaseless internal force is different from the normal way.

The stronghold in the distance was already visible to the naked eye, Xu Ping shook his head, no longer thinking about cultivation, the top priority was what to do next.

Xu ...... Brother Xu!" Cao Ying saw Xu Ping's figure, ran over like a fly, and just wanted to pounce into his arms, but she noticed the surprised eyes around her, and she went up and down for a while, blushing and not knowing what to do. Xu Ping knew that she was thin-skinned, and it was not good to make it too difficult for her to do it in public, so he hurriedly asked, "I don't know where the prince is?" At this time, Lu Pinyan also walked out, and when she saw the two of them embarrassed, she immediately understood, "The prince is in the back room, come with me, what should the others do, look, don't you have to do things?" After that, she stepped forward and took Cao Ying's hand and walked to the back room, Xu Ping followed, and the three of them walked side by side.

There were no lights in the house, and it was pitch black. "Pinyan, why is there no light in the house. Daddy, are you here?" With a creak, the door was closed from the outside, and Lu Pinyan's voice came from outside the house, "Oops, I forgot to call the prince over, wait for me for ten minutes." Xu Ping immediately understood, this is a wingman.

With 10 billion percent gratitude to Lu Pinyan, Xu Ping reached out and hugged the beauty beside him into his arms, smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and asked, "Why didn't you ask me if I was injured just now?" Cao Ying also hugged the sweetheart in front of her tightly, buried her head in his arms, and rubbed it like a kitten, "You're definitely fine, I should ask if you hooked up with anyone outside." After speaking, Zhen raised his head lightly and stuck out his tongue mischievously, and his eyes were full of fiery affection.

Xu Ping couldn't hold it anymore, leaned in, and touched the girl's delicate lips. The sturdy python soared out of the air, and its scales swept the red cotton on the opposite bank with the water in the river pool. Rao is its fierce swinging, swinging, seemingly weak and windless cotton can always use its softness to accept all the impact. It is like spring breeze and rain, or sucking or combining, soothing the restless python. The water on both sides of the strait gradually rose, the battle had just begun, and the heavens and the earth were also agitated, and the chirping sound appeared and disappeared from time to time. A small python poked out of the red cotton, shyly feeling the ups and downs outside. What is the behavior of the big python, the little python is very clear, how can this piece of red cotton be appeased? The little python mustered up the courage to meet it, and bumped into the big python like fire, and the two pythons were entangled and twisted with each other, expressing their affection and love with all their strength. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, drenching the intersecting pythons and also drenching the red cotton. The warm wind was blowing, and the red cotton shook to join the war group, and the three parties were enthusiastically entangled, regardless of the wind and rain, no matter the thunder, until they were exhausted......

The door creaked open, and a ray of moonlight entered. Light up the scene in the room, and the two of them sat down, talking and laughing, like the most inseparable friends. Lu Pinyan's face was embarrassed, Cao Zhengfeng was also a little unnatural, and Xu Ping's old face was red, because Cao Ying's lips were like blurred ink, and the red powder spread out, so you can imagine how fierce the battle just now was. "Otherwise, we won't need candles, how about closing the door and having a night talk?" Just what the doctor ordered. Xu Ping and Cao Zhengfeng settled the matter in a few words, Lu Pinyan pursed his lips and snickered, and closed the door. Only Cao Ying was in the fog, she hadn't recovered from the situation just now, her face was hot, and the night talk was pretty good.

Cao Zhengfeng asked, "Son-in-law, what are you going to do next?" When Cao Ying heard this title, she felt that her face was like exploding fireworks, and she was burning to death. Xu Ping said: "Father-in-law, you were rescued by me, it stands to reason that you are ...... Ripple's plan went bankrupt. Because her cheap order is based on your kidnapping, but things are always changing. Cao Zhengfeng nodded, as long as he didn't appear in the eyes of the public for a day, then he was kidnapped, and they had an excuse to do it. Xu Ping continued: "The only opportunity they can seize is tonight, and all possible moves will be made tonight." Cao Zhengfeng said thoughtfully: "Including killing me?"

Cao Ying grabbed Xu Ping's hand at once, and the palm of her hand was cold, revealing the master's uneasiness at the moment. Xu Ping shook it back, wrapped it in the palm of his hand, and said, "Yes, this is also what I'm worried about." I boast that there are not many opponents in the second grade, but the other party is Ripple, the seventh drop of water in the Water Wave Pavilion, and the master of the first grade, if she attacks this stronghold at this time, we will probably all be wiped out. Cao Zhengfeng was silent, and Lu Pinyan hurriedly said: "This stronghold is independent of several major industries, and it is the secret stronghold of the hidden guard, and the people of the hidden guard can rest assured." Cao Ying patted the shoulder of the friend next to her and said, "Pinyan, Xu Lang didn't mean that." He just wanted to say that we can't compare to Ripple in terms of force, so we have to use another ...... Method. Cao Ying felt that she had an extra hand on her buttocks, and she was startled, and next to her was Pinyan and her father, which ...... Her heart pounded, and her head sank deeply. Xu Ping felt the softness brought by his hands, and said in a solemn tone: "I will go to the city to find out the details later, please stay in the garrison barracks today and tomorrow, I have an agreement with Wang Dang, and he will be responsible for your safety." ”

Cao Zhengfeng thought about it for a while, the Haining Royal Mansion did not participate in those struggles over the years, and survived wave after wave of calculations with an attitude of withdrawing from the matter, but now he still has to choose a side. Xu Ping knew what this silence represented, being in Zeguo, facing such a struggle, how could he stay out of the matter, the choice he had to face sooner or later, so why not come early. If this turmoil really survives safely, he has also pondered the direction of evolution in the future. Besides, this time the agreement between him and Wang Dangdang is just an agreement between him and Wang Dangdang, and it has nothing to do with King Guanzhong, and it is not considered to be in line. Xu Ping didn't say anything, he wanted Cao Zhengfeng to think about these questions in advance. Cao Ying, on the other side, heard their conversation, and also fell into deep thought, as the actual speaker of the Haining Palace, she deduced these problems more than once, but the prince's side obviously couldn't hold it down, and the balance strategy was shattered. Standing in line is also a last resort, and when the turmoil passes, let's discuss it with Uncle Shen.

Xu Ping's hand moved unsteadily on Cao Ying's buttocks, and Cao Ying let it go, more than once. Just when she was blushing and silently analyzing the pros and cons, Xu Ping's hand slid to the outside of Cao Ying's thigh on the other side, and Cao Ying suddenly stiffened, terrible...... Hurriedly grabbed his hand down, but after all, it was a step too late. Lu Pinyan's hand was on Cao Ying's leg at this time and rubbed gently, the two of them often joked with each other, Cao Ying would joke that she was so charming that she would be moved by herself as a girl, and she would say that the cold county lord was too soft to be good. Xu Ping's hand finally slid over, holding everything he touched in the palm of his hand. Huh? Yingying's hand...... Why is it also a left hand? She has two left hands? Xu Ping didn't understand this question for a while, but Lu Pinyan reacted immediately. Are these two conjoined babies? Why do they do these things all the time...... She pulled out her hand like an electric shock, and for a moment she was a little confused. Cao Ying naturally felt the stiffness of the other two people on her legs, and her hands floating in mid-air were neither up nor down, and in the end she could only cover her red face and lower her head like a quail. Alas, how so. Forget it when you're dead...... However, Xu Ping, who was the culprit, smiled and then touched ......

"Okay, I'll go over there later. You have to pay attention to safety when you go to the city, there is really no way, we just need to pull out the flag in the garrison barracks. Cao Zhengfeng's words were both helpless and firm. Xu Ping's heart was warm, he knew what it meant for Cao Zhengfeng to pull out his banner in the garrison camp and tie it to the King of Guanzhong completely together, for the Haining Palace, which had been implementing a balanced strategy for a long time, and all this was just because he didn't want to take too much risk. Xu Ping said: "Xu Ping knows in his heart, and his father-in-law can rest assured." ”

So, outside the secret stronghold at night, three figures went out in the dark. Xu Ping went from the north of the city to Haining City, and Cao Zhengfeng and Cao Ying went to the garrison barracks.

......

......

Haining Palace, meeting room.

Cao Zhengyu Ripple and the two sat in the middle, and the rest of the major industry speakers were invited, along with the transfer callers who had been hanging for two days. It was about 9 o'clock in the evening, everyone had just fallen asleep, and there was no time to take care of the outfits. "Lord Ripple, all the people you need have arrived. Shen Xin bowed slightly, and there was no expression on his face. He was also quite curious, according to his calculations, the arrival of Ripple, at most, began to implement the plan. No matter how fast it is, I will do it again tomorrow morning, and I actually used a cheap order in the middle of the night to call them here. Shen Xin was a little worried, if something really happened tonight, then his alliance with Cao Ying would be shattered. Not only may he face the liquidation of the imperial court, but he also has to run in with Cao Zhengyu again, and the trouble is tight, so he will go to Sijing Villa to invite Sijing Zhenren, and at that time, it will be useless.

"Hmm. Ripple nodded at Cao Zhengyu, signaling that he could start. "You must all know the news of my brother's abduction. Cao Zhengyu cleared his throat and stood up, and said loudly. The people below nodded one after another, and Cao Zhengyu had also looked for them in private, so he naturally knew. It's just that they don't know what medicine is sold in Cao Zhengyu's gourd, but they are close to Cao Zhengfeng, and they can't figure out the details of the other party. Seeing that they were all looking at him, Cao Zhengyu paused slightly, and then said: "This is Lord Ripple of the Imperial Court Water Wave Pavilion next to me, who has the right to cut first and then play with a cheap order. The trip was dedicated to investigating the matter. Everyone looked at each other, they already knew that a big official was coming at noon, Shen Xin personally went to greet him, and he was thrown on the street, but they didn't know that it was someone from Shuibo Pavilion. What did Cao Zhengyu do when he moved this person out at this time? Several people, including Li Da, who was not hungry, were all chuckled in their hearts. Especially Li Da, he felt that Cao Zhengyu's eyes were not quite right when he looked at him, and the ripple lord next to him also glanced at him with a vague look. Shen Xin had long known the identity of the ripples, and he sat quietly. Compared to others, he looks much better, but his heart is not calm, and he knows that the show is about to start.

"And just a few hours ago, there was a person who ran out of the building from hunger, Master Li, do you know who it is?" Cao Zhengyu looked at Li Da with compassion and asked with a smile. Li Da subconsciously glanced at Ripple and found that she was staring at herself expressionlessly, rubbing the teacup on the table with her hand. He couldn't help but think, is it that as long as he doesn't answer well, that cup will be embedded in his head? Li Da swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously, "I don't know what the second master refers to?" Cao Zhengyu slapped the table and roared: "That new Tian Dianshi is the Tian Dianshi who made desserts for the government soldiers a few days ago. Everyone was startled, Shen Xin's eyes were sharp, his pupils contracted violently, he always thought that Tian Dianshi was fine, but he didn't expect him to be Cao Zhengyu's breakthrough. Cao Zhengyu didn't wait for Li Da to answer, and rushed to say: "I have asked the government soldiers, is there any problem with the food that day, do you guess what the government soldiers said?" Everyone cast puzzled eyes, Li Da also looked at him tremblingly, Cao Zhengyu said: "They said that the dessert ginger juice fairy grass has a lot of sugar." However, the whole ginger herb is not unpleasant, do you know what the reason is?"

Shen Xin remembered that he had interrogated Master Tian before, and although his answer at that time was a bit far-fetched, it was also reasonable. So Shen Xin got up and told him about the situation at that time. When Cao Zhengyu saw Shen Xin get up, he guessed what he was going to say. What Chef Tian said that day, he also knew, because one of the other two chefs on the scene was his person. Cao Zhengyu said with a smile: "The city lord doesn't know anything, the sugar used in the building is the best of the best, and it is not adulterated." Therefore, the sweetness of the same serving of sugar will be slightly sweeter than that of other types of sugar. The amount of sugar in the ginger fairy grass doesn't need much, no matter how much it is blended, it won't reach the bottom of what Fu Bing said. The soldiers of the government are all big and coarse, and they don't know what desserts are not desserts, they think there are too many orders, and how much sugar do adults think is in that ginger fairy grass?" Cao Zhengyu had Shen Xin's assist, looked around, and then said to Li Da: "Now that the owner of the building knows why Master Tian ran away, right?" Ripple also stopped rubbing his hand against the cup and stared at Li Da.

Li Daru fell into the ice valley, a chill from the tail vertebrae to the Tianling Gai, hurriedly got up, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain really doesn't know that Master Tian has done these things." Cao Zhengyu said with a cruel smile: "As the owner of the mansion that is not hungry, you are responsible for delivering meals to the soldiers, how can you say such a thing?" The rest of the stewards were all suspended and awaiting their dismissal. Drag them down. Li Da sat on the ground with blank eyes, and was dragged down by the official along with several other stewards of the non-hungry building. Cao Zhengyu was about to speak, and several old people walked in outside the door, who were the older generation of the Haining Palace. "Zhengyu, what's going on?" one of the old men asked in an old voice. Cao Zhengyu hurriedly greeted him, supported him, and said kindly: "Third uncle, it's okay, it's okay, it's a little business." The old man was helped to the chair by Cao Zhengyu and sat down. The old man's crutches slammed into the ground, and he made a loud noise, and said sharply: "I heard it all, and said it was okay." Is the rice shop involved in this?"

Cao Zhengyu looked at the direction of the rice shop with an embarrassed face, and the person in charge of the rice shop immediately stood up and said indignantly: "Our Fengning rice shop has been helped up by the ancestors a hundred years ago, ......and has always been taken care of by the uncles, how can we do such a thing? He has a close relationship with the county lord...... In short, we Fengning Rice Shop fully cooperate with the government investigation from top to bottom, and will suspend business from tomorrow, and I will go to get a letter and certificate later, and hand over the assets of the rice shop to the government to freeze. ”

Cao Zhengyu glanced at him appreciatively, Ripple nodded, and said: "Lord Shen, the matter of interrogation will be handed over to you, before the person is convicted, he is not allowed to be punished, and our Zeguo does not have a tradition of extorting confessions by torture." As for the receipt of assets, it will be handled by the palace, the palace is more familiar with it, and don't delay the business, after all, the people below still have to start work and eat. Shen Xin felt bitter in his heart, so he sang and harmonized, both played a mallet and gave a date, and said helplessly: "Yes." ”

Cao Zhengyu turned his gaze to the steward of Pinyanlou at this time, and asked lightly: "Is Pinyanlou suspicious?" Cao Zhengyu explained: "That's the case, the deputy manager Yao Lie said that he smelled a strange fragrance at that time, and I wasn't sure if it was the fragrance that fascinated the soldiers. Hearing this, Ripple also looked at the steward of Pinyan Building. The steward was in a cold sweat, he knew that Cao Ying was not dead, but the current situation was no longer a problem that could be solved by whether Cao Ying died or not. If he dies, is it possible to meet Li Da's fate, and if he really ushers in that fate, is there anyone who can save himself. Saving himself in the hands of the ripples of the first-class master of the Water Wave Pavilion, the steward's heart was shattered, and he said helplessly: "Pinyanlou will cooperate with the government's actions." Cao Zhengyu was overjoyed when he heard this, but his face was impassive and looked at the person in charge of the transfer office. The corners of the person in charge's mouth raised, he naturally knew what tricks Cao Zhengyu played, but he had nothing to be afraid of, anyway, the important account books and vouchers had been taken away by Lu Pinyan in the afternoon. As for the data of several other branches, although they were not taken, the government would not be able to take them for a while. It's just a pity that Pinyanlou, the headquarters and branches of Pinyanlou are around Haining City, and other small places can't support Pinyanlou's business model at all, so the impact of Pinyanlou will be a little greater, and I don't know if Lu Pinyan's side has time to get the data of Pinyanlou first.

Cao Zhengyu didn't know about Lu Pinyan's side taking people to get the account books and vouchers first in the afternoon, and thought that everything was going well. Ripple got up and said: "Tonight, I have to cooperate with the investigation, it is getting late, everyone will spend the night in the palace tonight." Let the people of the royal palace go to each property to accept the assets, and I will ask you to cooperate. Ripple turned around and left, her business was done, and the rest was handed over to Cao Zhengyu.

......

......

Xu Ping, on the other side, came to the north of Haining City and found that the martial law on the city wall was heavier than before. Could it be that the level of martial law has been raised? Xu Ping jumped to the city wall with questions. Suddenly, I heard the soldier say: "I don't know how long it will take for the other brothers to take those responsible persons just now, and when they will come to take over the shift, I woke up Lao Tzu in the middle of the night and was sleepy to death." Xu Ping's eyes lit up, and the other party really made a move in advance. No matter what method the other party used to receive the assets of the Haining Palace, when they received them, Cao Zhengyu and Ripple took control of the assets of the Haining Palace. It doesn't matter whether Cao Zhengfeng appears or not, if you want to overthrow them, be safe, you have to make a move right away tonight. Xu Ping thought about it, turned around and went out of the city, and went straight to the garrison camp in the east of the city.
