"died?"
Xia Laodao was visiting a brothel. When he heard the news of Bai Yutang's death, he fainted with a hiccup.
Even Cao Bin was startled and shook his head quickly and said:
"I've raised you for so long, don't die so easily!"
"Otherwise, all the money I spent was wasted, right?"
It took a long time for Mr. Xia to wake up and said with blank eyes, "What did uncle just say? Who died?"
Cao Bin was speechless for a moment and said: "I said Bai Yutang is dead. Thousands of arrows pierced his heart, and there is no way he can be saved."
Only then did Xia Laodao react and cursed:
"He deserves it. The veteran has long said that his character should have died long ago."
"I'm not sad. Don't worry, uncle. I can still work for decades and you won't lose your money."
As he said that, he smiled and said:
"Uncle, give me another few hundred taels of silver, but I have no money to spend."
Cao Bin didn't scold him this time. He just threw a thousand taels of silver to him, then turned around and left.
Cao Bin didn't believe that he wasn't sad. After all, he had trained his apprentice for half his life and devoted his whole life to that person.
Although there seems to be nothing unusual on the surface, only he knows what is going on in his heart.
The next day, Shi Qian reported to Cao Binhui:
"Uncle, we found out that another group of martial arts masters went to see Yan Chasan."
"They plan to gather together the heroes to break the Sky Tower together!"
Cao Bin's eyes narrowed and he said, "They don't care about King Xiangyang's army anymore?"
Shi Qian said quickly:
"Yan Chasan plans to send Lu Fang and others to instigate rebellion against Dongting Lake Zhongxiong and the Wohugou Sha family. It seems that he wants to marry the two families."
"As long as the two forces are instigated to rebel, they will destroy the Sky Tower."
Wohu Valley is adjacent to the private military camp of King Xiangyang. It is similar to Zhujiazhuang. It is not weak in strength and has been swinging between King Xiangyang and the court.
If we instigate Shajiazhuang to rebel, we can block the outlet of King Xiangyang's private army from the north, at least not allowing them to immediately go north to threaten the capital.
It seems that Bai Yutang's death was a big blow to Yan Chasan and others, and they even used the beauty trick.
Cao Bin was not sure whether they would succeed, but he still nodded and said:
"Continue to investigate and report at any time. We must know all their whereabouts..."
At this moment, Wu Song came in and reported:
"Uncle, Mr. Shen from the Prince of Xiangyang's Palace is here to visit."
Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, then pondered and asked, "Who else is he bringing?"
Wu Song said: "He has three generals, and he is the person recommended by King Xiangyang to lead the army."
Upon hearing this, Cao Bin immediately understood the purpose of Mr. Shen's visit.
So he waved his hand and said, "If you don't see me, just say I'm sick."
After a while, Wu Song came to see him again and said, "Mr. Shen said that if the uncle does not see him, he will advise the prince to cancel the concubine agreement."
Cao Bin immediately understood that this person might have come with bad intentions, so he had to say: "Let them in."
After a while, Mr. Shen came in with three generals and said with a smile: "Didn't uncle say he was sick? Why do you look so good?"
Without waiting for Cao Bin to answer, he said directly:
"Uncle Cao, please leave in person and take these three generals to take their posts, otherwise I'm afraid the soldiers will not obey them."
Cao Bin snorted coldly and said:
"I just promised to serve as an official for them. Whether they can do anything or not depends on themselves. Why do you need me to accompany them personally?"
As he spoke, he knocked on the table and said: "This is the governor's palace, not a baby's home. I even care about whether my subordinates can convince the public."
When the three generals heard this, they suddenly became embarrassed. After all, they were not enough to convince the soldiers.
If Mr. Shen hadn't insisted on this, none of them would have the shame to come to Cao Bin.
But Mr. Shen didn't care, he laughed and said: "Since Uncle Cao has promised the prince, he must be responsible to the end, otherwise Shen will not agree."
As he spoke, he added:
"Shen doesn't know Uncle Cao's purpose of asking for the prince's adopted daughter, but if Uncle Cao wants to cheat, Shen has the ability to sabotage this matter."
"After all, the prince has cultivated that girl Qiongying for a long time and is about to enjoy her. He must be happy to cancel the previous appointment."
Seeing that Mr. Shen looked like he was pressing forward every step of the way, Cao Bin knew that this guy must have been guarding against him from the beginning.
Thanks to Cao Bin being thick-skinned, he laughed and said:
"What are you talking about, Mr. Shen? How could Cao break the appointment? I'm just worried about the prince."
"I've been given official positions, yet they still need me to escort them."
"Even if they become generals, can they be good? They are not even as good as me, a playboy!"
The three generals were so angry and ashamed that they didn't know what to say.
"Okay, I will accompany you for a while and help you tame the soldiers."
This Mr. Shen is very annoying. If you have a chance, I will show him some color...
At this time, the Ling County government office was full of white tents, and everyone was holding a funeral for Bai Yutang.
Jiang Ping's eyes were a little red and swollen, and he said to the masters of all sizes:
"Sir, everyone, the fifth brother who was the most unconvinced during his lifetime was Uncle Zhongjing."
"We must work hard to eradicate King Xiangyang before he does."
"It's better to let the fifth brother rest in peace under the Nine Springs."
Yan Chasan glanced at Jiang Ping and said:
"The fourth general is right, but Cao Bin now has an ambiguous relationship with King Xiangyang."
"Besides, I heard that Brother Bai had met him once at the Prince of Xiangyang's Mansion before his death."
"I don't know what his position is now. You must be careful about this person and don't be confused."
"In the future, I will tell you my merits in front of Mr. Bao!"
Seeing everyone's agreement, Yan Chasan nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Okay, let's go. The two young men should dress up handsomely."
In the blink of an eye, four or five days passed.
On this day, Shi Qian suddenly came to report: "Uncle, Yan Chasan and others have instigated a rebellion against Zhong Xiong, and the two families are about to get married."
Cao Bin immediately became excited and said, "Okay, let's reveal this news to King Xiangyang. We must make him anxious."
The next day, Cao Bin finally waited for news from Shi Qian:
"Uncle, the King of Xiangyang has personally led troops to Junshan, and Yan Chasan is also preparing to attack the Prince of Xiangyang's Mansion."
Cao Bin hurriedly patted his thigh and said: "Okay, take the people and set off. I want to protect the Xiangyang Palace for my father-in-law."
When he brought a group of masters and personal guards to the Xiangyang Palace, the guards of the Xiangyang Palace were about to stop him, but were blocked by Qiong Ying.
Mr. Shen hurried out and shouted angrily:
"Uncle Zhongjing, what are you going to do? Are you going to attack Prince Xiangyang's Mansion?"
"You are treason. Even if we kill you, you will not be guilty."
Cao Bin didn't talk nonsense to him at all. He suddenly stepped forward and said angrily:
"Fart, I am the prince's son-in-law. I am here to protect the prince's palace. Do you need an outsider like you to make irresponsible remarks?"
Mr. Shen was so stunned that he lost three of his teeth. He could only watch helplessly as Cao Bin led his men into the Xiangyang Palace...
