Listening to the discussion in the restaurant, Fang Jinzhi said uneasily:
"I didn't expect that Cao Bin would be quite popular among the people in this capital."
A man beside Fang Jinzhi curled his lips and said:
"It's just the court's deception,"
"Why don't I believe that he is capable of defeating ten Liao generals? It must be another fabrication by the imperial court."
"It can't be said that Cao Bin was blown up like this because he killed a dozen soldiers."
Fang Jinzhi nodded and said:
"It is indeed a bit exaggerated, but Cao Bin should not be underestimated."
As she spoke, she showed hatred:
"The incident in Xiangyang, the murder of my aunt... were all caused by Bao Zheng and Cao Bin."
"If I have the chance, I will kill him and take revenge."
Pang Qiuxia said nothing, just drank tea in silence, thoughtfully, not knowing what she was thinking.
At this time, someone in the restaurant suddenly said:
"It stands to reason that the war between Song and Liao is over, so negotiations should begin."
"Do you think Princess Renshou of Liao Kingdom will come to Bianjing? Everyone says she has an affair with Cao Bin."
"I don't know if it's true or not."
The diners had been discussing for a while and had already restrained themselves. After hearing this, everyone became energetic. One of them laughed and said:
"As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. The beautiful Princess of Liao...with the nature of our Marquis Cao, can she run away?"
As he spoke, he said slyly:
"When the time comes, it's possible that Cao Bin will pull a beauty trick, and I, the Song Dynasty, won't be able to control all the negotiation matters?"
The Jiangnan businessman from before laughed and said:
"Everyone in the world says that Lord Cao is nicknamed 'Little Mengchang'. In my opinion, he might as well be called Langli Little White Dragon."
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter and exclaimed.
Cao Bin's face turned dark when he heard this, and he quickly said:
"Your Majesty, he is making false accusations and slander. I think all these unruly people should be arrested."
The emperor was so happy that he couldn't help but cough repeatedly:
"From my point of view, the common people are treating talented people as their own children, why should they take it seriously?"
Cao Bin was speechless. He had no idea that his reputation would become so strange.
Should I say yes or no?
Mudd, I always feel that this public opinion is a bit skewed.
He gave the merchant a hard look, noted his appearance, and decided to teach him a lesson.
I've nicknamed him "Little Mengchang". Who can mention a hero in the world without admiration?
You can change whatever you want, I don't want to lose face.
At this moment, a man walked towards Cao Bin.
The peripheral guards quickly stopped him in front of him and said:
"Who are you?"
The man was doubtful for a moment, but he immediately understood and became even more disdainful. He also said he would fight against ten generals?
If you really have such high martial arts skills, why would you bring so many guards even for a meal? It can be seen that this person is really afraid of death!
So he asked in a low voice:
"But Lord Cao is in person?"
"My young lady is Jinzhi from Jiangnan Baihuafang. She has admired the name of the Marquis for a long time. It is her first time in Beijing. I would like to see you."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, followed his finger and saw a woman with a veil looking towards Cao Bin.
Seeing Cao Bin and others looking at her, the woman suddenly took off her veil and smiled softly.
Just like flowers blooming, like hibiscus emerging from water, the whole person is filled with a beautiful and holy atmosphere.
The emperor was shocked.
I have to say that this woman is indeed extraordinary in appearance.
The emperor suddenly became interested:
"I didn't expect that the reputation of being a talented person has spread to the south of the Yangtze River."
Seeing the emperor's compliments to Cao Bin, the man's eyes narrowed. He was about to take a closer look, but was immediately blocked by Jiang Ping and others.
Cao Bin didn't want to cause trouble in front of the emperor, so he said solemnly:
"Who am I? Can she see her if she wants?"
"Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you're beautiful, stand down!"
The man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and saw the "thugs" on both sides looking at him eagerly, so he had to retreat.
The emperor was a little disappointed when he saw this. It was not that he had fallen in love with the woman. Even if he had, he was powerless at this time.
The reason why he was disappointed was because he regarded Cao Bin as his substitute and thought that a story that he liked to hear would happen.
I didn't expect Cao Bin to be so straightforward, so he shook his head and sighed:
"When a beautiful woman invites you, why should a talented person disappoint you?"
Then he laughed:
"Since I'm outside the palace, there's no need to worry about my identity."
Cao Bin thought to himself, you haven't encountered enough assassinations.
If you had known that they were rebels, I'm afraid you wouldn't have said that.
Fang Jinzhiqun over there was a little depressed and puzzled. Seeing that his men returned without success, he said angrily:
"Didn't you say that Cao Bin likes women? Why is he indifferent to me?"
She had just heard the comments from the diners, so she decided to see if there was any chance to get close to Cao Bin.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he showed his face, his men would be driven back unceremoniously by Cao Bin.
This made her doubt her appearance.
For beauties, the biggest blow is the denial from "lecherous people".
Seeing that Cao Bin did not accept the move, Pang Qiuxia breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Saint, it's better not to take risks."
She has not contacted Cao Bin yet, and the other party does not know Fang Jinzhi's "specific" identity. If she contacts him rashly, it may cause unnecessary trouble.
Fang Jinzhi shook his head and said:
"Senior Sister Pang, don't worry, I won't be so eager. I was just testing it out just now."
"If he takes the bait, it will also be beneficial for us to learn about the court's news, and it can also pave the way for future plans."
At this time, the man who went to invite Cao Bin whispered:
"Holy girl, it's not easy for me to find out that everyone at Cao Bin's table is there."
"One of them, even Cao Bin, must be careful. He may be an important figure in the court."
Fang Jinzhi was stunned for a moment, looking at the emperor with his back to her from a distance, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said:
"With Cao Bin's current status, who can do this? Could it be..."
She suppressed the excitement in her heart, glanced at Pang Qiuxia and said:
"Senior Sister Pang, this is a rare opportunity."
When Pang Qiuxia saw this, she was shocked and said quickly:
"The saint must not act rashly. We are not prepared. We must not alert the enemy."
After looking at the masters hiding around Cao Bin, Fang Jinzhi pondered for a moment and said:
"Perhaps with this person here, Cao Bin would not dare to act rashly and shut me out."
After pondering for a moment, she immediately borrowed pen and ink, wrote a note, ordered her subordinates to send it to Cao Bin, and said to Pang Qiuxia:
"Even if there is no chance this time, we still need to make some connections."
"We may not have the same opportunities in the future."
Cao Bin saw that the woman had sent another note. After reading it, he called Jiang Ping and others over and said:
"Guard Guard Jiang, please arrest them and send them to my house."
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched.
I told you not to be polite, but I didn't ask you to be so rude. You really wanted to rob someone.
Just as he was about to speak, Bao Zheng was already unhappy:
"Cao Bin, don't mess around. The laws of the Song Dynasty are strict, how can you arrest people randomly?"
The most important thing is to use Kaifeng Mansion's manpower. If you don't know, you think Kaifeng Mansion has become your lackey?
Cao Bin said righteously:
"Master Bao, this woman has a special status, so I will naturally explain it to Your Majesty."
"Besides, wouldn't it spoil the atmosphere of the capital if she seduces Cao like this?"
"As an official who is the host of the suffering, it is reasonable and reasonable for Cao to catch her and teach her a lesson."
He didn't want Bao Zheng to be involved in this matter.
If he knew that he was cultivating Bai Lian in order to split the Ming Cult, wouldn't he want to kill himself? You might even find yourself in trouble.
So I just found a reason to get over it, since he couldn't control himself now anyway.
Bao Zheng was speechless when he heard this.
Good guy, you are noble, you are more upright and selfless than me, but why do I not believe it...
