"Bell, bell. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The two sounds of info sounded at the same time, and the sword ring and sword ring struck each other, and the heavy sword and long knife were swung away at the same time.

The ring in Bian Buying's hand rotated with strength, and took the opportunity to counterattack and directly take the vital points of the two people in front of him.

"Huh. You Niao exhaled, and the heavy sword in his hand slashed directly at Bian Buyi's neck with a fierce wind.

The long knife in Ding Jiuzhong's hand turned into layers of knife shadows, forming a solid line of defense in front of the two of them.

The ring in his hand flew away, but he didn't get the slightest opportunity.

"Boom!" the ring shadow dissipated.

The mighty and incomprehensible strength carried by the heavy sword was far beyond Bian Buying's imagination, and he was forcibly split back more than three feet.

Ding Jiuzhong had already turned from defense to offense, and the long knife reflected the moonlight, carrying the tragic killing intent he had honed from the battlefield, and attacked towards the side.

On the side, there was You Niaoti staring at him, and he dared to hold on to it, retreating sharply and falling into the water. This was the retreat he had prepared for a long time.

On the calm water, a dark figure suddenly emerged from under the water. A scarlet giant palm fiercely concentrated the back of Bian Buying's heart.

"Poof. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person flew upside down towards the shore without spilling blood into the air.

The heavy sword slashes straight, and the long knife slashes horizontally.

Bian Bu didn't even make a scream, and he died with a whimper.

Then, the three of them quickly cleaned up the battlefield and hurriedly left with the corpse of Bian Bu.

Early in the morning, Cao Xu was practicing a set of slow boxing techniques in the courtyard, moving and static, opening and closing, but with an indescribable strange rhythm, all the movements were full of beauty.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were on duty, watched intently, their eyes flashed, and they seemed to have comprehended something.

It didn't take long for a whole bunch of people to come and visit.

The local forces in Xiangyang have come to surrender to Cheng, and the cars and horses in front of the Taishou Mansion are like dragons, and there is an endless stream.

The hustle and bustle of the day is over.

Outside the single courtyard where Cao Xu lived, a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian costume and a brocade robe stood quietly and straight.

The guards around them pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords, all on guard.

Cao Xu waved his hand, lifted his guard, stepped forward, and said, "Master Shi, long time no see." ”

Shi Zhixuan stared at the disciple in front of him, his gaze was cold and indifferent, as cold as ice and snow, without the slightest emotion.

After a long time, with a sigh, Shi Zhixuan said, "You sent someone to invite me here, what's the matter?" ”

Cao Xu said: "Master Shi, please come in and talk in detail." ”

The two of them walked into the courtyard, came to the living room, and after the guests of honor sat down, Cao Xu said: "Inviting the stone master to come, I naturally want to ask the stone master to help me." ”

Shi Zhixuan said, "What can I get?"

Cao Xu said: "Revenge, ambitions, dreams, as long as Shi Shi helps me, these goals can be accomplished." ”

Shi Zhixuan glanced at Cao Xu deeply and said, "How do you want me to help you?"

"The first thing is to ask Shi Shi to transport the money and armor from Yang Gong's treasure house for me. Cao Xu said.

Shi Zhixuan nodded, and he should be considered.

"The second thing, after returning to Yangzhou in the near future, I will restore my real name, and I will also ask Shi Shi to contact me more in the court and recruit virtuous ministers and generals. Cao Xu said.

Shi Zhixuan said: "After the saint returned to Zhenguanzhong, he indulged in wine all day long, ignoring the government and politics, and the power has gradually been controlled by the Yuwen valve. ”

Cao Xu shook his head and said, "If Yuwenshu is alive, maybe the Yuwen family really has some chance of success." Yu culture and embarrassment, after all, is just to open the way for others. ”

"Li Valve?" Shi Zhixuan's body was shocked, he was originally a fan of the authorities, but now he was woken up by Cao Xu's words, and he immediately understood.

"Li Valve is the Ming Lord chosen by the Hu people and the Hu Sect, I dare to assert that once Yu Wenhua and Force, Li Valve will immediately raise troops to attack Guanzhong. The last 200,000 elite soldiers of the Great Sui will also become Li Valve's bag. Cao Xu said. He prevented Yang Guangnan from going to Jiangdu and gained the opportunity to unify the south, but at the same time left a large gift package in Guanzhong. If Li Valve obtains Guanzhong, his strength will expand rapidly.

If there is a good in the world, there must be a disadvantage. Fortunately, at this time, the south has been decided, and the north is still divided by the heroes, and Cao Xu has firmly occupied the opportunity.

Shi Zhixuan said: "The incident of Li Valve is not far away. I have a fight with the Holy Monarch and the Minister, and I should go back and do my last part. ”

Cao Xu nodded and said, "Shi Shi has a heart. ”

"The Four Great Kou will definitely fall to you within a few days, and you can dispose of it as you see fit. With that, Shi Zhixuan floated away.

In the realm of the great grandmaster, the martial arts are transcendent, and the highest personal force in the world, even if there are thousands of crossbows and 100,000 armorers, they still come and go freely.

Cao Xu commanded, and after a while, Li Jing hurried over.

"Steward. Li Jing said.

Cao Xu said: "The four great Kou will surrender to our army in the near future, you are ready to accept it." The number of this group of rogues is as high as tens of thousands, although they plunder, kill people and set fires everywhere, but there are indeed many brave people among them, who can be selected and sent to the new barracks for three months of training, which is a group of qualified soldiers. ”

Although Li Jing was a little hesitant in his heart, he bowed down to receive the order and should claim "yes".

In October of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Cao Xu led the army down the river and returned to Yangzhou. Along the way, he swept away the Huainan counties that had not yet surrendered.

Li Jing added the title of General Pingxi, garrisoned Xiangyang, and was the governor of Jingbei Prefecture.

At the same time, one by one to persuade Cao Xu to be the king, like flowing water, gathered in Yangzhou City.

When Cao Xu returned to Yangzhou City, the belongings and armor in Yang Gong's treasure house had been sent to Xiangyang by Shi Zhixuan through Wuguan without realizing it.

This news made Cao Xu feel reassured. The wealth hidden in Yang Gong's treasury is enough to meet the expenses of the current Yangzhou army for two to three years, and those weapons and armor can also quickly arm a large number of soldiers, greatly improving the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Yangzhou army.

In the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion, Cao Xu dealt with most of the pieces that had been squeezed these days, and then ordered someone to call Fu Gongyou.

"Steward. Fu Gongyou said.

Cao Xu said: "Next, the political affairs hall mainly deals with two things, one is to prepare for the ceremony of becoming the king, and the other is to immediately send people to get in touch with the Lingnan Song Valve. ”

Fu Gongyou should claim "yes".

The Song Valve is the leader of the Southern Scholars, and as long as the Song Valve bows down to the courtiers, the hearts of the people in the South will inevitably be settled.

"Is there any news from the Dongming faction?" Cao Xu asked.

"Someone has been sent to see the governor soon. Fu Gongyou said.

Cao Xu nodded, the weapons sold by the Dongming faction and the horses sold by the Pegasus Ranch are the foundation for the rise in this troubled world, and they are indispensable. (To be continued.) )
