And said that Cao Mengbo did his job step by step, participated in the family affairs of his daughter Cao Jiayun, and stayed in the Li family of Taishan Mansion for two more days.

Along the way, Cao Mengbo had a lot on his mind. He knew that during this period, the post of general of Huizhou Mansion was both dangerous and important, and it would be on the cusp of the storm in the future, and he was ready to repay the country with death.

The officials of the Huizhou Mansion had been waiting at the gate of the city for a long time, and at that time, Cao Mengbo did not need a holy decree, just because he was a direct subordinate of Kyoto and the former commander of the golden armor guard, it was enough to deter.

However, although Cao Mengbo is a martial artist, he also understands the way of officialdom very well, after all, he is new to the city, and he still has to consult these colleagues for many things.

For this reason, Cao Mengbo specially stepped forward to greet them one by one to show his respect for these officials, big and small.

After that, Xu Sheng, the counselor of the government, handed over the Huizhou military tiger talisman, which was officially completed.

Cao Mengbo is also from a sword background, and when he holds this tiger talisman in his hand, he doesn't feel heavy, and he is a little handy. In the past, he commanded 800 golden armor, but now he controls 30,000 soldiers and horses in Huizhou Mansion, and with his heart, he is still a little excited.

Cao Mengbo grinned and said: "Brother Xu Sheng, in the future, you and I will be brothers who get along day and night, and I hope to take care of you." ”

Xu Sheng arched his hand and replied: "The general's words are serious. Xu's failure to see the previous general brought security risks to His Majesty, and His Majesty did not implicate Xu, which is a great grace. Now that General Cao is in Huizhou, Xu wants General Cao to take more care. ”

Cao Mengbo nodded, this counselor can speak, and it is comfortable to listen to: "Cao has just arrived, and he is not familiar with life, and he has to work hard Brother Xu to explain a lot in recent days. ”

Xu Sheng said: "This is nature. General Cao will go to live in the house today, and I will explain it to the general in detail tomorrow. ”

Cao Mengbo said: "Otherwise, you see that I am alive and well, and I am in good spirits." If Brother Xu is fine, I will have a few drinks today and talk about everything in detail, okay?"

Xu Sheng said: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

After obtaining Xu Sheng's consent, Cao Mengbo said goodbye to the officials who came to greet him, and went to the general's mansion with Xu Sheng.

Taiqing Mountain Nine Xuanmen.

Xuanqing and his three junior disciples stood on the edge of the cliff behind the mountain.

Decades have passed as if it were yesterday.

Xuan Qing said lightly: "Cao Mengbo is estimated to have arrived." ”

Xuan Yi said: "Senior brothers, it seems that this Xiao Shifeng doesn't miss the old feelings, and is going to take our Jiuxuanmen." ”

Xuankong also said: "This Cao Mengbo was originally a person in the rivers and lakes, and he was deeply trusted by Xiao Shifeng after returning to the imperial court. The gold-armored guards of the imperial court were made by him. This person has quite a lot of means, Xiao Shifeng sent him to succeed him as the general of the mansion, and his heart is clear. ”

Xuanqing's heart was as calm as water: "Don't worry, Jiuxuanmen has not yet reached a dangerous situation." ”

Xuan Ming said suspiciously: "The master who rescued Li Muming at the foot of Taiqing Mountain that day is really my apprentice?"

Xuankong sighed and said, "The one who went down the mountain that day was the young man who passed on Xuanwen's skills. One person and one horse, everyone in the door knows. ”

Xuan Ming said: "This is exactly the difficulty. The disciples in my sect are all upright, and it is natural to save and help the same sect. It's just that if there is a black sheep, with a sudden change in heart, is tempted by the court under the mountain and confesses it, I am afraid that Jiuxuanmen will not be at peace. ”

Xuanyi said: "Senior brother, when his armor surrounds Taiqing Mountain, although my Jiuxuanmen is not afraid, it will not escape the disaster of destroying the door!

Xuan Qing's expression was pleasant: "The armor surrounds the mountain, I'm afraid Xiao Shifeng doesn't have that courage." Jiuxuanmen conforms to the hearts of the people and supports the Xiao family, also in order to restore peace in the world. Now, although the breakthrough of the stalemate is in my Jiuxuanmen, he Xiao Shifeng may not dare to do anything. Let's see how he strategizes in the temple, and what means Cao Mengbo has. We just need to wait and see what happens, and be flexible. ”

At night, Cao Mengbo and Xu Sheng talked in the flower garden of the General's Mansion.

Cao Mengbo asked: "A few days ago, I heard that Counselor Xu was closed, but is there such a thing?"

Xu Sheng said: "I'm ashamed to say that I learned that Your Majesty was going to behead the Li family, and I couldn't bear to look at each other when I thought of the past kindness. The successor Guo Daren and Xu Moudao are different from each other, so Xu would rather not be this counselor than be with him. ”

Cao Mengbo smiled and said, "Do you know that this Guo Daren is also a confidant of the general?"

Xu Sheng said: "The general has every opportunity, and it is only natural to install his cronies next to the general of the state capital. It's just that Xu Mou looked at this Guo Daren, and he didn't have the slightest worry, thinking that he must be a cold-blooded master, so he made this decision. ”

Cao Mengbo took a sip of spirits, looked at Xu Sheng and said, "I didn't expect that Counselor Xu is also a person of temperament, which is similar to me." ”

After saying that, he toasted Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Cao Mengbo drove straight in and asked, "I heard that General Li Wu also has a son, who was originally the grandson of the Nine Xuan disciples. On that day, Guo Daren led 3,000 Huizhou troops to intercept and died at the foot of Taiqing Mountain. Later, a master came to the rescue of this son, but is there really such a thing?"

"It's true. Xu Sheng looked a little embarrassed, and Cao Mengbo comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty has ordered General Li Wu to leave a queen, and no longer pursue his son's whereabouts." It's just that you might decide if that master is related to the Nine Xuanmen?"

Xu Sheng thought for a while: "It's a pity that the soldiers present at that time were not involved in the rivers and lakes and martial arts, so they couldn't judge. However, according to the deputy general Ding Lan who returned, he recalled that the manpower was infinite, and his martial arts were extremely high, but he was young. Xu believes that those who can save people from the encirclement of 3,000 soldiers and armor are afraid that even the general will not be able to do it. ”

Cao Mengbo frowned: "The old man has not been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and this Jianghu martial arts Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is not unexpected." It's just that in recent years, among the younger generation of masters, the old man has also heard of it. Although Jiuxuanmen is a great martial arts sect, there are not many masters who are more powerful than the old man, and even fewer can retreat in the encirclement of three thousand soldiers. Except for the Little Sword Saint Murong Qi, I'm afraid there is no second candidate. ”

Xu Sheng continued: "This person has never brought a sword, it doesn't look like Murong Qi did it." ”

Cao Mengbo said: "No. Murong Qi is good at using the sword, and this time he just wants to put aside the relationship. The mastermind behind this is undoubtedly Xuan Qingzhen. For the protection of the disciples, to rescue each other, it is reasonable and reasonable, which is the style of the sect. ”

"This ......" Xu Sheng was puzzled: "The general's conclusion is a little hasty." ”

Cao Mengbo said bluntly: "These are all the meanings of Your Majesty. ”

Xu Sheng was shocked: "General...... Could it be?".

Cao Mengbo nodded and said, "I told Brother Xu because I had already inquired about Brother Xu's personality. The eldest husband is loyal to the country, and it is the right way. ”

Xu Sheng sighed: "As a minister, sharing worries for Your Majesty should be like this." ”
