Chapter 317: Life and Death
Dongchang, these days, Cao Zhengchun lives in a simple place.
Every day, except for eating and sleeping, he almost never goes out of his yard, bathes and cleanses his body, and meditates and cultivates.
Sure enough, as the emperor said, the affairs of Dongchang and Jinyiwei were handled by the following people, but after the affairs were handled, they were not sent to Dongchang, but sent to the emperor for the emperor's imperial review.
Cao Zhengchun knew about this and didn't say anything.
Seeing that their own overseer acquiesced, his subordinates naturally didn't dare to say anything, and since then all the files have been sent to the palace.
On this day, Cao Zhengchun held a long sword, standing in the small courtyard, in the corner of the courtyard, planted a big red peony, delicate and abnormal, he didn't know when he started, he liked this kind of flower.
Looking down at the long sword in his hand, the sword body was dusty, it was an ordinary standard hundred refining long sword, although it was also a sharp weapon, but it was not a divine weapon, Cao Zhengchun's eyes flowed, stretched out his plain white and clean right hand, and slowly pulled out the long sword.
“...... Qiang"
still dropped the scabbard, and held a sword flower casually, and the cold light shimmered.
In the middle of the footwork, the speed of the figure became faster and faster, and in the end, only a vague afterimage was seen, flickering like light and shadow in the small courtyard, and there was a sneering sound in the air from time to time.
It was the sound of sword qi cutting through the air.
In the end, the sword qi became more and more dense, and the sound of sneering converged, buzzing, making people can't help but think of that kind of sharp cold, and they can't help but feel chills in their hearts.
After a while, there was nothing else in the small courtyard, only the sword light as cold as water remained, covering the entire courtyard, and the figures had long since disappeared.
If there is a person who walks into this small courtyard at this time, I am afraid that he will be ground into minced meat in an instant.
The figure froze, and the sword light slowly disappeared.
Cao Zhengchun took the scabbard with his hand and returned the sword to the sheath.
Because of his identity, he originally didn't use a sword, but at this time, no one dared to underestimate the great overseer Cao who had a long sword in his hand.
"Boom"
A few green bamboos in the corners were blown by the wind at this moment, turning into green powder and disappearing with the wind, and the stone table and four stone benches in the middle of the small courtyard also collapsed into a pile of stone chips.
Only the peony flower in the corner is still blooming delicately, trembling with the wind, intact.
"Someone. Cao Zhengchun said.
The factory guard outside the small courtyard walked in, bowed and said, "Overseer." ”
Cao Zhengchun turned around and entered the house, "Clean up the yard." ”
"Yes, Overseer. ”
Just as Cao Zhengchun, who was holding a long sword, raised his feet and entered the house, a factory guard hurriedly walked into the courtyard and said respectfully: "Tell the overseer, the iron gallant god marquis is coming." ”
Cao Zhengchun paused, turned around, his eyes flashed, and he chuckled and said to himself: "Can't wait? ”
He casually threw the long sword to the factory guard, walked out of the small courtyard with his feet, and walked to the front hall.
Behind him, the factory guard hurriedly caught the long sword, held it in his hand, and followed closely behind.
Walking through the hallway, it didn't take long to reach the antechamber.
Cao Zhengchun raised his feet and entered the house, before Shi Shiran arched his hand and said: "The prince is coming, Zhengchun failed to greet him in time, and I hope that the prince will forgive his sins." ”
Iron Courage Shenhou looked at the person who appeared in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, a master, often able to sense the changes in a person's qi, these days, Cao Zhengchun is living in a simple place, he has not met him for a long time.
At this meeting, he was slightly shocked in his heart, and he found that Cao Zhengchun's spirit was like a different person, although his momentum was still the same as before, but it was more condensed, and his spirit and spirit were enough to make Huafa black, which showed that it had fundamentally changed.
His eyes were inexplicable, and the Shenhou got up and smiled: "Gonggong Cao is polite, I heard that the emperor decreed that Gonggong Cao was tired from handling official business, and Gonggong Cao was specially approved to recuperate with peace of mind, which shows that Gonggong Cao is in the heart of the emperor. ”
Cao Zhengchun didn't seem to notice the change in Shenhou's eyes, smiled and waved his hand, "Shenhou, please take a seat." ”
After the two sides sat down, Cao Zhengchun said softly: "The prince is here, I don't know what is the matter?"
Shenhou paused, and said in a deep voice: "Don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, this king is here for the third Tianxiang cardamom in the hands of Gonggong Cao." ”
Cao Zhengchun sighed, but his face did not change, and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, but I forgot the one-year period of the plain girl, it is really my fault, but ......"
Shenhou's eyes lit up, "Tianxiang cardamom is precious and abnormal, naturally I can't let Gonggong Cao suffer in vain, what conditions are there, even if Gonggong Cao mentions it, this king will do his best to meet it." ”
Cao Zhengchun looked mysterious and said meaningfully: "Lord Wang, do you really agree to any conditions?"
Shenhou is not stupid, how could he respond to this, and said in a deep voice: "If this king can do something without violating his conscience and morality, there is nothing he can do." ”
"If I want you to resign from the emperor and step down as the god of the Dragon Guardian Villa, are you willing?" Cao Zhengchun said.
Shenhou's face changed, and he glanced at Cao Zhengchun, "Gonggong Cao is not joking with this king, this king controls the Dragon Protector Villa and protects the Ming Dynasty, but it is a special decree of the first emperor, how dare you resign at will." ”
Cao Zhengchun laughed, "Don't worry, Zhengchun is just joking with you." ”
Shenhou was expressionless, not smiling at all.
Cao Zhengchun's face was solemn, and he said in a condensed voice: "If the prince wants to get the third Tianxiang cardamom, it is not difficult, as long as Zhengchun has a wish." ”
"What wish?"
Cao Zhengchun stood up, turned to look outside, and said slowly: "Since I took charge of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, the prince has been unable to get along with me everywhere, but these are not important, we know it, we have to do it, but a grudge is a grudge, and Liangzi has already been settled." ”
Turning around, Orchid pointed at the Iron Gall Shenhou, and said he: "It is said that the prince's martial arts are unfathomable, and I also want to know, is my martial arts powerful, or is your Zhu Tiedan's martial arts stronger?"
A faint smile appeared on Shenhou's face, and he got up to look at him, and he didn't mind his rudeness at all, "You have spent a year living in seclusion and concentrating on cultivation, just for this, right?"
"Yes, my request is that you really fight me. Cao Zhengchun said.
Shenhou still smiled, he has always been extremely confident in martial arts, and he has never put the world in his eyes.
This is a kind of downward gaze, a condescending downward gaze after being extremely powerful, and it can even be said to be contempt, he never feels that anyone can be his opponent.
No one can defeat him, not Yanagi Shibei, not Cao Zhengchun!
Although he may have practiced some great martial arts, and there has been such a change, but if it doesn't work, it won't work.
That's what he thinks, and that's what he sees.
Cao Zhengchun read Shenhou's eyes, his white cheeks trembled, his heart was furious, a trace of red flashed in his eyes, but his complexion remained the same, he hated this kind of look.
Slowly exhaling a breath of turbidity, Cao Zhengchun's eyes were violent, but with a smile on his face, he said softly: "Three days later, Shougu Mountain on the outskirts of the city will compete for the top and divide life and death." ”
Shenhou looked at him fixedly, and exclaimed, "Okay." ”
With that, turn around and leave.
