Asking this sentence, Cao Ling had already used all his courage...... Or rather, it was due to extreme fear that made him burst out with an abnormal bravery.

Born into a remote branch of the Cao family, he didn't even live in Plains City, but grew up on a farm on the south bank of Xianhe Lake.

His family owns 700 acres of land on the shore of Xianhe Lake, and nearly 100 hired farmers cultivate it. Although it is not rich and expensive, it is also worry-free.

"As a relative of the emperor, in a place like Baiju Cave, being able to be such a landlord is about the same as the king outside. This was said by Cao Ling's father.

Cao Ling's father is very satisfied with this leisurely life. He didn't care much about running a farm, anyway, no matter how lazy he was, as a member of the Cao family, no one could take away his land.

In addition to drinking, fishing and hunting, Cao Ling's father also raised a group of cranes. He said that this is an ancestral ability, and he still can't forget his roots and throw them away.

However, this group of less than twenty cranes has never gone out to fight. Their biggest role is to play in the courtyard of Cao Ling's house or by the lake, as a kind of scenery and embellishment. Occasionally, he would help Cao Ling's father catch a few whitebait for drinking.

"That's what they're meant to do. "When Cao Ling's father was drunk, he would look at the crane and say this.

In addition, Cao Ling's father's biggest hobby is to collect those scarce books. Many of these books are antiquities left over from the past, and there are even many banned books. However, as a member of the royal family, this kind of forbidden book will not cause him any trouble.

When he was teaching Cao Ling to read, he said to Cao Ling: "These books are very interesting, and after reading them, you feel as if you have been to many places." Moreover, after reading those tragic stories, you will feel that our current life is actually quite good. ”

Cao Ling especially likes his father to teach him to read, because his father will always forget the original intention of literacy, and take the book to Cao Ling and start telling various stories inside. After talking about one, I can't help but drink again, and I no longer remember whether Cao Ling has learned the words to be recognized.

But this peaceful and peaceful life was shattered six days ago!

Cao Ling still remembers that it was just getting dark, and his father had already drunk all afternoon, enjoying the comfort of dusk. But when the distant uncle arrived at his house with a few gloomy faces, his father's wine seemed to wake up at once.

"No! Cao Ri ...... Hall Master Cao, you go find someone else...... I beg you......" Cao Ling's father first changed color, then argued with reason, and finally begged bitterly.

In the end, he could only look desperate and hurriedly admonished Cao Ling: "Ling'er, when you go, you must remember the four words I taught you 'be cautious in words and deeds'. Poor child, you are so young, you don't know if you can understand me...... You remember, whatever your Uncle Cao Ri says, you can't object. You also have to understand that although you are a king, you can't treat yourself as a king, otherwise you may be more than lucky......"

"Father, is this what you said about 'coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes'?" Cao Ling realized from his father's sadness that this was not his luck, and remembered the story of the last dynasty told by his father.

"It's not...... No, it's pretty much. I'm much more relieved if you know this. His father's face showed a hint of relief.

Cao Ri said in a slightly impatient tone outside: "The country can't be without a king for a day, little ...... King, let's hurry up and hit the road. With my support in the future, what are you worried about?"

So, Cao Ling hurriedly became the fifth-generation White Tiger King!

Cao Ri was polite to him, but Cao Ling never showed a smile since he entered the palace. His disproportionate silence as a seven-year-old child shows that he is indeed the most suitable person for the throne.

Cao Ri was very satisfied, and even praised him when there were only two people left: "I have long heard that the son of Cao Jiu on the shore of Baihe Lake knows books and etiquette, and rarely has a good name. Sure enough, I was very well educated, and I really didn't choose the wrong person. ”

Cao Ling realized that it was his father Cao Jiu who caused all this to the literacy education he had been conducting. They are like Cao's partial brothers, and there are few people who have learned so many things like themselves. Reaching the sky, that is, knowing a few words, reaching the level where the village man can read the notice.

This is not only because his father, Cao Jiu, has collected the most books in Hakukoma Cave. is also because for the children of the Cao family, even if they can't read big characters, they don't need to worry about their livelihood. In addition to the various fields sealed, the Cao family's houses that were fortunate enough to stay in the Plains City did not need to do anything at all, and they naturally had a rich income every year.

In this case, I am afraid that in addition to being the direct bloodline of the king, only Cao Jiu, a "weirdo", will be extremely bored and bother to educate his children!

On one side is a well-read, gentle and elegant child like Cao Ling, and on the other side is a vulgar and ignorant, stubborn and dull child, who should be chosen to sit on this throne, it is naturally self-evident.

Even if it is a puppet, basic decency must always be taken into account. Besides, with a precocious child like Cao Ling, it is much easier to communicate. At least, it won't make too many jokes in the court, right?

Thinking about this, Cao Ling did not resent his father. He was more careful with his words and deeds, and obeyed Cao Riyan, suppressing his nature so as not to cause death to himself and his family. He also had a vague idea: Perhaps, when he grows up, maybe he can really become a veritable White Tiger King?

However, the days of walking on thin ice and living like a year were broken by this strange person in front of him after a few days!

Cao Ling witnessed this person's unstoppable power like a tiger out of the gate. In extreme fear, he was used as an obstacle by Uncle Cao Ri, who wanted to escape, and threw himself towards this killing god, and at that moment, he almost peed his pants!

After all, Cao Ling was only a seven-year-old child.

However, the strange man did not crush him casually, and even reached out to catch him. Otherwise, just the light on the strange man could probably take his life. Cao Ling saw with his own eyes how those guards fell to the ground and died after coming into contact with the light!

Cao Ling was kept being held by the bad guys, and he trembled with fear. But he didn't stop thinking, on the contrary, in the midst of fear, his mind turned faster.

At first, he thought that the bad guys grabbed him, probably trying to take Cao Ri's place, right? But it seems that no one else is willing, but I'm afraid it's difficult.

Then the strange man spoke, in a flat, but irresistible resoluteness!
