Cao Cheng pinched his nose and confessed Chen Hao's lies, and made room for Lu Zhenbang to recuperate in a remote part of the house. He was strictly ordered to guard the courtyard and not allow idlers to enter or leave the courtyard, and he was brought healing ointment.

"I didn't expect Cao Cheng to really promise you. Lu Zhenbang couldn't help but sigh: "It's incredible...... Do you think this is a delaying tactic? Settle us down first, and then secretly order someone to arrest us?"

Chen Hao smiled: "This is nothing incredible. Cao Cheng has a request for me, and he is naturally willing to exchange you for his own needs. For him, as long as there is enough price, even his own father can be betrayed. Rest assured, he won't backtrack. ”

"How can you be so sure?" Lu Zhenbang didn't believe it.

In a word, the desire for profit is just a heart. Chen Hao said: "Your value is too small, far less important than the throne." ”

"Then what is my value to you, is it worth your risk to save me? You haven't told me yet, who are you, and why did Cao Cheng ask for you?" Lu Zhenbang asked.

"This is not the place to talk about it, you can rest assured. You'll know everything when you leave Plains City. Chen Hao looked at the guards at the gate of the courtyard and turned back to Lu Zhenbang.

Lu Zhenbang's injuries looked like a large patch of blood, but they were actually not too serious. When the executioners took the knife, they deliberately avoided the vital point, and tried to cut as many knives as possible on him while he was alive.

This kind of injury, as long as it is well recuperated, can scab over in a day or two, and can be improved in five or six days.

When Chen Hao kidnapped Lu Zhenbang, his disguised appearance had been exposed, so he could only be stuck in this secluded courtyard, and he could no longer go out to find out information. He himself does not change his face, this ordinary face, or the hand that he asked others to do when he watched the Valley.

In order not to reveal any characteristics, Chen Hao did not practice the "Great Yan Array Technique" and swordsmanship, and even stopped practicing every day, otherwise it would be easy to see that he was actually cultivating.

In the Overwatch Valley, there were only two or three people who practiced the ninth layer of qi, and if they knew that Chen Hao was a cultivator of the ninth layer of qi training, they would be able to guess who he was at once.

At night, Chen Hao faintly heard a commotion outside, and it seemed that a large group of people had come to Cao Cheng's house.

"Could it be that my judgment was wrong? Cao Cheng would rather lose my support than arrest Lu Zhenbang?" Chen Hao was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, if Cao Cheng really asked people to arrest Lu Zhenbang, he would never make such a big move.

Chen Hao and Lu Zhenbang did not sleep in the same room, he quietly performed the Taiyi Concealment Technique, and then dived outside, deciding to see what was going on, so as to prepare early.

When I arrived at the gate outside, I just heard Cao Cheng's angry voice: "Big brother, don't deceive people too much!"

"Hehe, the search for fugitives, both the government and the people should cooperate, how can it be called 'bullying too much'? A familiar voice said.

Chen Hao looked at the light of the lantern on the door of the mansion and saw that the person who was talking to Cao Cheng was Cao En, who had met twice.

Cao En is the eldest son of the contemporary White Tiger King, that is, the "Great Prince", and this information has long been known to Chen Hao.

Compared with Cao Cheng, Cao En seems to be a little better. In terms of cultivation, he has reached the peak of Qi cultivation and is one of the top masters in the White Horse Cave.

And he is also more involved in the various affairs of Plains City. For example, in the past, he presided over the construction of the camp in Xiaoshi Mountain, led people to raid the Watch Valley, etc., and now he personally led people to search for fugitives, which seems to be more offensive.

More than a year ago, Ding Dagong and others joined forces with him to capture the Overwatch Valley, but failed. After that, Wan Yihou came back and no longer had contact with Cao En.

Although Cao Cheng will also be suspicious of Wan Yihou's comeback after defeat, he needs all kinds of support from the outside world in comparison. So just like tolerating Chen Hao's lies today, Cao Cheng will not get to the bottom of these things, he cares more about what he can get.

Therefore, since the defensive battle of the Overwatch Valley, Wan Yihou has only maintained the transaction and contact of Cao Cheng's line. Of course, Cao Cheng is happy to see this situation, and he will not be stupid enough to share this resource with his eldest brother Cao En.

"What prejudice do I have against you? It should be you who is biased! A dignified prince's mansion is searched when it is said to be searched, where do you put my face on it? I don't think you necessarily want to search for fugitives, and making me make a fool of myself is your goal, right?" Cao Cheng stood at the door, with a posture of "labor and management just won't get out of the way."

Cao En's face sank and said, "It's too damning for you to say that!" The White Tiger Hall has investigated the city very clearly, and many people have seen the fugitives coming towards you, and they have lost their traces when they arrive at you. They didn't dare to alarm you without authorization, and asked me to come forward, originally to save some face for you!"

"I can't afford to save face! You better go back!" Cao Cheng refused to eat hard and soft.

Just kidding, now the fugitive is hiding in his house, and if he is really found out, it will not only be a matter of face!

Maybe, as a result, you will directly lose the qualification to inherit the throne. Who can tolerate their own successor colluding with their enemies in order to succeed him?

"Okay, good, good!" Cao En said three "good" words in a row, glanced at Cao Cheng deeply, and said, "It seems that you have an iron heart, so forget it." ”

He made a pun, "iron-hearted" not only meant that Cao Cheng did not allow them to enter the palace to search, but also implied that he had seen that Cao Cheng had become a desperate determination to take the throne.

Cao Cheng sneered and said, "Big brother, you know that I am a straight person, and I can't hold my breath, I don't understand what you're talking about." If you really want to search, it's not impossible, if you go and ask your father for an edict, I will naturally agree. Besides, no one wants to enter my mansion!"

"You can say it!" Cao En glared at Cao Cheng viciously, turned to the soldiers and monks who followed, and said, "Let's go, and there is no need to search for any fugitives." Someone has a problem with their brains and doesn't know where to sit on their ass, and there's no way to do it for the time being!"

Cao Zheng, the contemporary White Tiger King, is in extremely bad physical condition now. Crucially, he was sometimes sober and sometimes furious. Fortunately, when he woke up, he knew that he was very sick, and he usually locked himself in the deep palace.

So even if it is the Cao family brothers, they usually don't go to him if they have nothing to do. No one wants to offend Cao Zheng inexplicably and cause unwarranted disaster.

Cao En is not a fool, so naturally he will not listen to Cao Cheng say this, so he really asks for his father's will.

Let's let him be proud for a few more days, with the power he controls, don't be too easy to deal with this idiot-like younger brother!

It's just that there is still a White Tiger King sitting there for the time being, and the brothers still retain the last bit of bottom line.
