Xuankong was not surprised: "General Cao was not present that day, how did he know?"

Cao Mengbo said with a smile: "Young man, the strength is worth a thousand troops, last time Xuan Qingzhen had already said that he was not among the disciples of the closed door, so I see that among the young people who are going down to the mountain gate now, only the righteous son of the great general has this ability." The man in black who went to save Miss Long that night was Yang Feng, otherwise I wouldn't have let Miss Long go. ”

Xuankong pretended to be puzzled and asked Yang Feng, "Is there such a thing?"

Yang Feng originally thought that Cao Mengbo would not embarrass himself, but he didn't expect to use himself as a target today. Stunned, he had to stand up and admit it, but Yang Feng asked one more question: "Dare to ask General Cao, am I breaking the law by doing this? If so, what crime will I be dealt with? Shielding the Qin offender, or ramming the officers and soldiers, capital crime or living crime?"

Seeing that Yang Feng's mood fluctuated, Xuankong said: "You sit down first, whether you can be cured or not, or the court has the final say." ”

Cao Mengbo said with a smile: "It was a righteous act, and the general will be very happy to know it, not to mention that you have an adventure now, and you can be regarded as a material." The general had already instructed me not to pursue this matter. ”

Xuankong said: "Since you don't pursue it, why are you besieging the Nine Xuanmen?" Xuanming was no longer patient, and Cao Mengbo was secretive and reached the end.

Cao Mengbo followed Xuankong's question: "Actually, the imperial court is as generous as possible, but worries are inevitable. Jiuxuanmen is a famous and decent family, a master of the rivers and lakes, if he is so willful and does not give the court a reasonable explanation, I am afraid that he will set a bad example in the future, and many sects in the rivers and lakes will follow suit, will there be peace in this world?"

Xuankong said lightly: "Could it be that the imperial court is unable to sleep and eat day and night, and people are worried about the sky? If so, then I am afraid that it will be too much to make such a big joke about Jiuxuanmen!"

Xuankong has always shown himself as a kind elder, but he didn't expect today's anger to be exhausted, but it was also very powerful, and even Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but let out a "whoop".

Cao Mengbo also did not show weakness: "The real person is a little restless, don't be impatient." The ancients often said that taking a step back and opening up the sea and the sky makes the distractions calm. The imperial court did not pursue Li Muming or Yang Feng, and now it just wants Jiuxuanmen to give a reasonable explanation, which can not only convince the public, but also take care of the face of the imperial court. The imperial court couldn't think of it, and the bell had to be tied to the bell, so it had to come and invite Jiuxuanmen in person. ”

"Hmph!" Xuankong flicked his sleeves, turned around and left, and all the disciples also stood up after him, and walked a few steps, only to see that a group of armor soldiers who had just greeted them in front of him were already standing on the way up the mountain, blocking the way.

Xuanxu Senior Disciple Mu San turned his head angrily and pointed at Cao Mengbo and said, "What do you mean, Cao Mengbo? Yu Pianpian's temper also came up, and shouted at Cao Mengbo: "General Cao, although you have a lot of soldiers and horses, if we want to get close to you, it will be easy!"

"That's it!" Tang Xiaoxiao's blood surged into his heart: "Let's try to fight!"

Cao Mengbo laughed and said: "These people are actually not all obedient to me, they only recognize the Xiao family." As long as Jiuxuanmen agrees to give an explanation, then there will be a chance to break the siege, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be no return. ”

Xuan Kong didn't look back, and asked contemptuously: "What is the catastrophe that will not be recovered, does the imperial court dare to go up the mountain?"

Cao Mengbo smiled indifferently: "In the current situation, whoever strikes first will be unreasonable." The Huizhou army will not take the initiative to take action, but if Jiuxuanmen has to fight this battle, our Huizhou army will also accompany it. If Jiuxuanmen lets my 30,000 people alone, then in time, the food on the mountain will run out, and I am afraid that if I am sleepy, I will change. ”

Xuankong said: "The court has done such a despicable act, won't it make the world laugh." "Knock knock

Cao Mengbo said: "The teacher is famous and acts well, and if people in the world have objections, they can't say it." ”

Xuankong said: "It's not a good thing to cover your ears and steal the bell." ”

Cao Mengbo responded indifferently: "In this world, there is a mixture of fiction and reality. What about covering your ears and stealing the bell, time can dilute everything, and the strong side will eventually prove that history is on its side. If the real person didn't believe it, the battle of Lock Dragon Valley back then was a living example. ”

After a moment of silence, Xuankong said: "Then General Cao take care and wait for the news." ”

Cao Mengbo said: "Thank you for the real thing." ”

Cao Mengbo gave him a look, and the sergeants in front of him scattered around. Xuankong walked straight forward, and when he encountered a boulder, he still did not detour, and his robe moved slightly, and the boulder shattered into powder.

Cao Mengbo looked at the distant backs of the people of the Nine Xuanmen, and said to the deputy general beside him: "This group of people is enough to resist thousands of troops and horses, and take the rank of general among the millions of troops." ”

The Imperial Study.

Xiao Shifeng was sitting and drinking tea, and the crown prince Xiao Zaimin was handling government affairs.

When he arrived at the Huizhou Mansion, the crown prince Xiao Zaimin suddenly stopped and looked at Xiao Shifeng with doubts.

Xiao Shifeng smiled and asked, "What's the matter, something difficult?"

Xiao Zaimin asked: "Father, why didn't Uncle Cao ask for instructions when he mobilized the army of the Huizhou military camp?"

Xiao Shifeng said: "I have told him that all his actions can be cut first, and it seems that he has accelerated the progress." He wrote to report to me, and if I didn't agree, then I would withdraw it, otherwise everything would be done according to his wishes. ”

Xiao Zaimin knew what Xiao Shifeng was talking about, but he was quite worried: "Father, after all, the Huizhou army is an ordinary state army, if it really conflicts with Jiuxuanmen, the consequences will be unimaginable." Moreover, with such a big movement, the Jianghu Martial Arts must know that the father and emperor are not afraid of changes?"

Xiao Shifeng was in a good mood and boasted: "My son is thoughtful, and my father is very pleased. However, there are thousands of ways to do things, and extraordinary times and extraordinary things are used by extraordinary means. Doctors often use strong medicine to treat serious diseases, and the decision of the emperor also follows this principle. The Jianghu Martial Arts are now flourishing, allowing them to regain their awe for the imperial court, so that they can take a closer step to control the entire Jianghu Martial Arts. The siege of the Nine Xuanmen is only the first step in this plan, and there will be big moves next. ”

Xiao Zaimin said: "Why is my father so anxious to return to the Jianghu martial arts, so suddenly, I am afraid that it will backfire." ”

Xiao Shifeng said: "You are still young and don't understand the stakes. My father wants to use the power he still has to create a unified world for you. When the time comes, you will be able to calmly dispatch your forces in the territory and stabilize the country. There are many martial arts masters in the rivers and lakes, if they all serve the imperial court, it will definitely be half the effort, and my Xiao family dynasty can be famous and far away from barbarians. It seems that this great achievement has never been seen in the past, and it can be called a great fortune in life. ”

Xiao Zaimin understood Xiao Shifeng's mood and said respectfully: "Father Emperor Dragon is in good health, and he will definitely be able to see that day with his own eyes." ”
