Wei Yao was driving the carriage, while Li Xuan and Zuo Hong were sitting on the carriage.
Zuo Hong didn't even bring any more confidants.
She was going to the theater, not to fight, so it wouldn't be good to bring a disciple.
Under the moonlight, the movement in the distance became more and more noisy.
When the three of them arrived outside Cao's mansion, they couldn't get in at all.
The gate of Cao's Mansion was blocked, and the soldiers' armor was cold. In front of the gate, Cao Shuda in official uniform could be seen confronting General Yuan.
The Caobang disciples gathered densely on the road outside the mansion.
The government soldiers were divided into two groups, and the other group was confronting the Caobang.
After Zuo Hong arrived, he naturally showed his face and entered the Caobang camp.
In the Caogang, a rough and strong man holding a big sword asked: "Why are you here?"
Zuo Hong opened the curtain of the carriage, revealing Li Xuan.
The rough and strong man saluted and said, "It turns out to be Chief Li."
Zuo Hong smiled and said, "It's our Zhaowu Master."
Li Xuan also saluted and said, "I have met Master Zhao Wu."
The rough man smiled and said, "You're welcome."
After seeing the ceremony, Li Xuan began to observe the outside.
He still looks nervous now, but in fact he can no longer fight because a disciple just reported that Mr. Su has fully come to the stage and agreed to a blood test on the spot to prove his innocence.
In order to prevent the other party from playing tricks, General Yuan specially prepared his own copper basin and copper knife, and also pulled a yellow dog for testing.
However, from this position, it is completely unclear what happened in the middle.
In order to get a closer look, Li Xuan got off the carriage and led Wei Yao to the Cao Mansion. As he ran, he shouted: "I am Li Xuan, a student of Dayin! I am Li Xuan, a student of Dayin!"
General Yuan tilted his head slightly, but shook his head.
Suddenly, some soldiers stopped Li Xuan outside.
In the distance, Cao Shuda also shouted: "Li Xuan, don't rush in, just stay there."
"Yes, mentor." Li Xuan responded from afar, but he had already squeezed in a little, and he could already see the situation clearly.
In the midst of the confrontation between the prefect of Baihua Mansion and the general, he saw an old man with half white hair standing.
He held the copper knife given by Yuan Guan, reached out to the copper basin, and made a sudden cut.
The blood flowed down and fell into the copper basin drop by drop.
It quickly accumulated a thin layer.
"Excuse me, General, is this blood enough to prove my innocence?" Mr. Su looked sad at this time and sighed, "Jie Niu used to be a good boy, but this time he left Fucheng for some reason, and he became what the general said. The evil spirit has returned... I really didn’t know it.”
Yuan Guan looked at him coldly and suddenly raised his hand and waved.
The soldier next to him understood and ran forward with a yellow dog, then squatted down and opened the dog's mouth.
Another soldier directly picked up the copper basin and poured it into the dog's mouth.
Gouzi struggled, but was suppressed by several powerful soldiers, and he drank up the basin of blood in a short time.
After drinking, the dog licked his mouth and wanted to bark at the soldiers, but he didn't dare.
The air became quiet.
Everyone stared at Gouzi coldly.
Yuan Guan really didn't believe that there was nothing wrong with this bitch. He was a general in Fucheng, so he naturally knew how terrifying the demon's blood was.
If there was anything wrong with Gouzi, he would directly use his troops to kill Mr. Su.
But as time passed, the dog became alive and kicking.
Mr. Su sighed, took two steps forward, bowed deeply to Cao Guan, and said: "I live in seclusion and never visit the general on weekdays. This has caused the general to misunderstand. I'm giving the general a sin. I'm sorry."
Yuan Guan was still staring at the dog, as if he didn't believe the outcome.
Suddenly, he pointed to the soldier beside him and said, "Go and try."
Without saying a word, the soldier stepped forward, picked up the copper basin, and drank up the remaining blood.
...
...
Li Xuan understood this situation at a glance.
He was really speechless.
General Yuan, General Yuan, I understand that you can't take Mr. Su away. After all, Magistrate Cao is still there.
But...you obviously prepared the copper basin. Is it difficult for you to put some poison in it?
Even if you are worried about the copper basin being investigated, would it be difficult for you to ask the soldier who opened the dog's mouth to apply some poison on his hands, or to put some chronic poison into the dog's mouth in advance?
is it hard?
It's a little difficult.
Because you really need to consider whether Magistrate Cao will come to check again after Gouzi's accident, but the difficulty is actually just the quality of the poison.
As a general, don't you have poisons that are of better quality and cannot be detected?
You already want to kill Mr. Su, why do you still need to be reasonable?
Is killing a reasonable thing?
No, in this age without surveillance, you have to make up stories!
Good people.
General Yuan is such a good man.
Look at the obedient soldier again.
Li Xuan sighed in his heart, this is a general who is deeply loved by the soldiers.
After a while, there was nothing wrong with the soldier.
Mr. Su bowed with a low posture.
But Cao Shuda snorted coldly, walked down quickly, stopped in front of Mr. Su, and said tit for tat: "Yuan Guan, what else do you have to say at this point?"
General Yuan said: "Lin Jie Niu is a demon. For the sake of the safety of the people in the city, I, the general, naturally want to investigate Su Zangyuan. We do not dare to slack off on our responsibilities!"
Cao Shuda said: "I will investigate Lin Jie Niu's matter to the end."
The air suddenly became quiet.
The two of them had nothing to say.
General Yuan suddenly waved his hand and said: "Let's go!"
Immediately, the dark army of soldiers followed and left.
Li Xuan walked directly to Cao Shuda without being blocked by the soldiers, and asked with concern: "Teacher, are you okay?"
Cao Shuda's face was gloomy. When he saw Li Xuan coming, he reluctantly showed some kindness, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded and said: "Nothing happened."
Li Xuan stayed for a while and then returned.
...
...
That night, a red fish was put in a fish tank and sent to the Magnolia Pavilion, and was delivered to Li Xuan.
The fish was like a touch of cinnabar in the water, even though it was covered with cloth, it still gave off a faint red light.
Li Xuan looked at it for a while and felt that it was indeed magical.
But now was not the time to use the fish. He stored it and planned to take it back to Xiongshan County and wash it with demon blood before using it.
Afterwards, he took a shower, changed clothes, and had a good night's sleep.
After getting up the next day, he took Wei Yao to Caobang to practice the "Eternal Green Kung Fu" as usual.
...
...
Two days later.
The Li family's martial arts masters quickly entered Xiongshan County and returned to the Li family.
As soon as he entered the Li family, he was recruited into the study by Master Li.
The martial artist presented the second lady's letter.
Master Li opened it and looked at it for a while, with a very happy look on his face. He looked at the martial artist and said, "It's been a hard journey, and I'll go to the counting house to get three more months of offerings as a reward."
Three months?
The martial artist was overjoyed.
Mr. Li smiled and said, "This is Xuan'er's wedding money."
The martial artist said continuously: "Thank you sir, thank you so much, eldest son!"
Mr. Li laughed and said, "Go down."
The martial artist retreated.
Mr. Li took the letter and read every word on it over and over again. He couldn't help but feel happy and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Xuan'er is really good!"
He stared at the words "Prefect's daughter Cao Yi" for a long time, suddenly showed a thoughtful look, and then called out: "Come here, please come over, Madam."
...
...
A few days later.
Cao Yi Xiaohui has arrived.
Li Xuan rode his horse alone and went to a beautiful garden owned by Cao Mansion.
The place where Xiao Hui made an appointment.
Although it was almost late spring, the garden was still full of flowers.
Cao Yi was dressed in a light green silk dress, with an embroidered high-waisted skirt that stretched across her chest, deliberately holding up her soft and bulging peaks, making her look full of femininity. A flowing, luxurious shawl is casually worn, wrapped around the shoulders and draped over the shoulders, adding a bit of laziness and charm.
At this time, the daughter of the Cao family was sitting in front of the desk, her hands resting on an ancient xylophone, and she was playing with it gently.
Although there were many young ladies around, but since they came to attend her little gathering, they naturally surrounded Cao Yi like a moon. You said a kind word, I said a kind word, and they circled around Cao Yi in different ways.
But Cao Yi was a little absent-minded.
She had a small meeting today. Although many people came, the most important person had not arrived yet.
At this moment, a maid came from a distance and whispered something into Cao Yi's ear.
The young ladies saw the lady-like Miss Cao pursed her lips and smiled.
A young lady from a powerful family giggled and said, "Sister Cao, are you so happy? Could it be that Mr. Li is here?"
Cao Yi ignored her and wanted to get up to greet her, but after thinking about it, she felt that she was not reserved enough, so she assumed a cold posture and played the piano to herself.
She played with the strings.
The sound of the piano is melodious.
Suddenly, there was a rhythmic sound in the distance.
Cao Yi looked up and saw an energetic young man coming singing in the sky.
The young man walked in the golden sunshine, and his whole body was glowing.
When he got close, he didn't salute. He suddenly pulled out the bird feather sword from his waist and danced the sword to the sound of the piano.
Cao Yi plays the piano.
Li Xuan dances with a sword.
Cao Yi, who was trying to hide her nervousness, was actually led by the sword dance and devoted herself to playing the piano.
She was afraid of destroying the harmony at this time.
The gentlemen and young ladies who were whispering and laughing on the side also fell silent and looked at the two of them quietly. Some young ladies even began to feel envious in their hearts, thinking that if these two people got married, they would really be a couple of gods and immortals.
The combination of Li Xuan's sword dance and Cao Yi's singing gradually evolved into a blend of souls.
Cao Yi's nervousness completely disappeared, and she smiled.
Li Xuan also smiled.
When one hears the piano and understands the meaning, when one sees the dance one understands the heart. Why bother with words?
After a song and a break from dancing, the two looked at each other and suddenly smiled.
Cao Yi said: "Brother Xuan, take a seat."
Li Xuan left happily.
...
The half-day meeting ended soon.
The young ladies dispersed one by one, but Li Xuan deliberately stayed behind.
Cao Yi felt secretly shy, but also a bit sweet.
When everyone was gone, Li Xuan said: "Mei Yi, I will return to the county in two days."
"I know."
Cao Yi nodded sweetly.
Li Xuan smiled and said: "When I go back this time, the third day of June is my wedding day. Will Yi Mei come over?"
Cao Yi:? ? ?
The blood on her face "swiped" away.
She hesitated and said: "You...are you getting married?"
Li Xuandao: "Well, the girl from the county has an engagement, and I can't let her down."
"I...I..." Cao Yi suddenly couldn't speak, "I..."
She suddenly turned around and ran away.
Li Xuan looked at her leaving back and sighed secretly in his heart.
Although the vines need to climb up the tree, their first priority is...the roots.
When he was in Xiongshan County, he had already inquired about Tian Yuan very clearly. She was a woman he needed and needed, and she was a woman who could help him secure his rear.
If Er Niang tells her parents everything she saw, then...
He took a deep breath and thought to himself: 'It's time to go back. '
...
...
That night, Li Xuan looked for Cao Yi, but he didn't see her again, so he looked for Cao Shuda to accuse him.
Magistrate Cao didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, this was a manifestation of Li Xuan's emphasis on love and justice. If he easily agreed to his daughter and directly broke the engagement with the county, then he would be somewhat alienated.
...
The next day, Li Xuan went to say goodbye to Zuo Hong and then packed his luggage.
At this moment, the entire Baihua Mansion suddenly exploded.
A piece of news came out: General Yuan was dead, the Yuan Mansion was slaughtered by demons in revenge, and Magistrate Cao was angrily searching for demons, and now several have been found, and they are executing them in the street!
