Huaiping is located in the south of Huaizhou, at the mouth of the Taihuai River, and its geographical location is extremely advantageous.
If you want to start from Huaiping to Jinsha County, the first half of the official road in the Huaiping Plain is smooth, but in the second half, it starts to become hilly and raviney.
Another armored ox cart in the convoy has a very luxurious interior decoration.
Not only is the floor covered with high-end carpets made of mountain animal skins, the tables and chairs are made of fine pineapple wood, even the snacks and preserved fruits on the table are rare products on the market.
The boys and girls in the carriage were chatting and laughing, eating snacks, and were very happy. However, the beautiful woman next to them frowned slightly, with a hint of worry hidden in her eyes.
Occasionally, I would think of something and look at the boys and girls beside me, and I would sigh silently.
"Mom, come and eat osmanthus paste. Zhang Benzhai's osmanthus cake is really delicious. Please try one."
The girl wrapped in a snow-white coat seemed to have noticed the sadness in the lady's eyebrows. She picked up a piece of goose-yellow pastry between her green jade fingers and put it into the woman's arms with a smile.
Cao Hong looked a little pleased when she saw her pink and beautiful daughter in her arms, caressing her hair, took the cake, and ate it without rejecting it.
"Mom, don't worry. To be honest, we don't necessarily want to divide some of the property. If uncles and others don't allow it, at worst, we don't want it. Come back after a while and just go out to relax..." The girl's voice was clear and clear, and she snuggled up. In the arms of the noble lady, he said softly.
"Why don't you fight for what belongs to you? You are open-minded and don't fight for anything.
When I saw that I was old, which street did you two siblings go to drink the northwest wind..."
Cao Hong frowned slightly, shook his head with a smile, and pretended to be joking.
The family she belongs to is the Huaiping Cao family. It is not a big one, but it is not a small one either. There is a master in the family. They occupy two small mines outside the city. In addition, with the accumulation of several generations, they have opened more than a dozen restaurants. Even Huai Ping is considered respectable.
In addition, people of their generation have also produced many talents, with greater reputation and greater momentum.
As the direct daughter of the Cao family, she should live a comfortable life.
But the bad thing is that she was married far away.
When she was young, she went to a lantern festival and fell in love with a young master from another city who came to Huaiping to study. The two really fell in love with each other.
Fortunately, the other party's family background was also extraordinary, so Mr. Cao didn't make things too difficult when he was unhappy.
However, what is unpredictable is that after Cao Hong married out of town, her husband died of illness within two years, and she had to return to her parents' home alone with her children.
Originally, the property of the husband's house was left to the eldest brother to take care of, and it was agreed that Cao Hong would take over the property after Cao Hong's daughter had grown up.
The eldest daughter Cao Qingyi was born when she was sixteen, and she inherited her good looks. She has big eyebrows, big eyes, and a small mouth. She also inherited her husband's white and tender skin. She is very cute. She happens to be fifteen and hair-haired this year, which is the time agreed back then.
However, in recent years, although the Dafang lineage has received full dividends every year, Cao Hong has heard some bad rumors recently.
It seemed that the originally friendly and affable Dafang had some bad intentions.
After learning about this, she immediately asked her father for instructions and wanted to use the power of her mother's family.
But what disappointed him was that the power of his husband's family was not weak. Even the Cao family did not want to offend him too much, so he sent Cao Sha a half-step master to show his attitude.
At this time, Cao Hong understood that no matter how much her father favored her when she was a child, even if she changed all her children to have the surname Cao, it could not change the fact that she was the daughter of a foreign marriage.
If the conflict of interests is not involved, she will still be the eldest lady of the Cao family. Once her father dies and her brothers succeed to the throne, and one of them is unhappy, she may become a real outsider.
That’s why we took this trip to Jinsha County.
She had already made up her mind that even if she suffered some losses, she would still leave some wealth for her children.
"Mom, I'm actually not joking. If it really doesn't work out, we'll give my father's property to my uncle. It's still the same as before. It's good to get some dividends every year..."
Cao Qingyi held another red pastry, ate it and said casually.
"Xiaoyi, I know what you are afraid of. No matter what, you and your uncle bleed the same blood. Don't be afraid. Have you forgotten that when you were a child, you loved being hugged by your uncle the most?
Besides, your grandpa sent your Uncle Sha to protect us, so nothing will happen. "
Cao Hong comforted softly, as if she was comforting Cao Qingyi, but also as if she was comforting herself.
"Oh...of course I remember, but..." Cao Qingyi opened her cherry-like mouth and wanted to say something, but still nothing came out.
Seeing this, Cao Hong shook his head and patted his shoulder gently to comfort him silently.
Mother and daughter looked at each other in silence.
The silly brother on the side also reacted, glanced at the two of them, and then suddenly raised his eyebrows.
As if he had found an opportunity, he grabbed all the cakes and threw them into his mouth. After a while, he swallowed them and screamed in excitement.
It made Cao Hong angry and funny.
But looking at his son's eyebrows that resembled someone's, a familiar figure flashed through his mind, and he finally patted his son's back helplessly and offered him a glass of hot water.
............
The convoy continued walking.
I wonder if it was because of the large number of carriages and horses, but the journey was uneventful.
By noon, the wind and snow had subsided, and the road had reached the second half of the official road, with more undulating mountains on both sides.
Looking around, it is no longer the endless white snow, but the scenery of thousands of mountains with birds flying around, and the snow-capped green mountains.
Arrive at a specially built post station.
The bullock carts began to stop, and the dedicated servants began to quickly set up bonfires, prepare meals, feed the cattle and horses, and inspect the vehicles.
This stronghold was built behind a low hill. It was originally supposed to be a temple, but for some reason it became a post station at the back.
But now it is deserted, with not even a living person.
Fortunately, both caravans were well prepared, so this was no problem.
Lin Mo also got out of the car. He glanced at the Cao family and his group who were starting to make food at the other end of the temple, then stopped paying attention and went straight to the other side to sit down.
Here, members of the Qinglong Society have already laid out animal skin blankets, lit up bonfires, and cooked meat porridge.
The bacon that has already been marinated is added with various kinds of diced bamboo shoots, potato chunks, peas, and good rice. It doesn't take long for the tempting aroma to appear.
At the right time, Cao Hong on the other side came over with his son and daughter, as well as Cao Sha, who looked dull.
"Thank you so much, Master, this time. If Master hadn't agreed to go together, the road would not have been so peaceful."
Cao Hong brought two portions of sauce-flavored duck and thanked Lin Mo seriously.
The attitude is very sincere.
Once we pass the next half of the road and reach the city, we will be safe.
Because even if his eldest brother had any bad intentions, he would never do it in broad daylight, deprive the whole family, kill his siblings, and take away the reputation of the family property.
"It's small things, we go together all the way, and cooperation will benefit both sides. I can't say enough thanks."
Lin Mo didn't treat him coldly and said warmly.
Cao Hong's smile grew wider, and then he began to ask Lin Mo casually about his family background.
If she could, she didn't want her daughter to marry far away and be like her, alone in a foreign country and unable to speak straight.
Lin Mo happened to live in a Huaiping family. Judging from the splendid appearance, he was from an extraordinary family. In addition, he spoke well and looked calm at all times, which was in line with her requirements for a son-in-law.
This question is inherent.
Lin Mo naturally understood the meaning of Cao Hong's words, but since he was traveling with his identity concealed, he would naturally not reveal his identity.
He casually excused himself with words.
After chatting for more than ten words, Cao Hong finally saw what Lin Mo meant. He was also free and easy. He smiled and complimented a few words and left with his children.
"Miss, if you can, it's best to go with this young master. It will be much safer that way."
Returning to his own bonfire, Cao Sha, who had been dull and dull, suddenly spoke and whispered.
"???" Cao Hong.
Cao Sha quickly gave the answer.
"This man himself is tall and tall, with strong energy and blood. He looks inconspicuous, but he is definitely not an ordinary person. Plus, the two monks behind him... I can't tell." Cao Sha said honestly.
While talking, he carefully observed Lin Mo and his group from the corner of his eye.
"This..." Cao Hong was shocked. She knew what Cao Sha's strength was, but even he couldn't see through it. Doesn't it mean that they are both masters?
And looking at the behavior of Aoba and Yanzhen, what is the identity of Mr. Lin?
Just when Cao Hong's thoughts were swirling and words came to his mind, the sound of dense footsteps suddenly came from outside the inn.
Cao Sha, who originally looked dull, stood up abruptly.
The next moment, he shouted loudly:
"alert!"
As he said that, he wanted to go out and take a look around.
At this time, the sky outside the temple was a little dark, and sparse snowflakes fell, making it a bit more eerie and chilly than usual.
There happens to be a small hill behind, which is where the woods are densely packed. If there is an expert lurking, ordinary subordinates may not be able to find it if they patrol.
Just when Cao Sha was annoyed and didn't go to check in person, a series of masked figures in black quickly filed in from outside the door.
The leaders were two tall men.
At over two meters tall, he is quite conspicuous among ordinary people.
The two of them were also masked in black, but the masks were embroidered with gold thread. At first glance, they were of a higher standard than the other men in black.
Even though he hasn't done anything yet, he looks like he has bad intentions at first glance.
"It seems that there is no mistake. Hehe, he was mixed in the business and even took down the family flag. It is a bit clever. It's just a pity..." The leading man smiled and glanced at Cao without leaving any trace. Everyone then stared at Lin Mo and said.
"...It's a pity that it was a mistake from the moment you decided to leave Huaiping!"
After saying that, the people behind him made an agreement and pulled out the steel knife with a clang sound.
Everyone's blood and energy began to surge wildly.
It turns out that the weakest ones are all masters of the Destiny Realm!
This scene directly made the Cao family look solemn and their hearts tremble.
However, after hearing that it seemed to be aimed at Lin Mo and his party, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
She originally thought that the person coming was the eldest member of her husband's family, the man named Shangguan Gong, the Tiger of the Jungle, but it seemed that she was wrong.
only....
"Brother Sha? We..." No matter how capable Cao Hong is, she is still a woman after all.
Seeing such a scene, I felt panicked and at the same time completely undecided. I glanced at Lin Mo and others who were silent, and then looked at Cao Sha.
Some are afraid of being affected.
Cao Sha looked solemn and said nothing.
"As for the others, time is your destiny. To avoid any complications, please die together."
At this moment, the masked man suddenly turned his head, stared at the pale Cao Hong fiercely, and said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Cao Hong, who was still a little lucky, immediately felt like gold paper.
The masked man laughed scornfully in a low voice.
He is naturally Shangguan Gong.
As the legitimate son of the Shangguan family, he actually did not want to bear the reputation of killing his siblings and nephews.
After all, Shangguan Gong had a good relationship with the deceased Shangguan Jian, and he was also very interested in his younger brother and sister.
It's just helpless that his dead brother left too many properties, so much that even he didn't want to ignore them.
He had no choice but to destroy the flower with his own hands.
Of course, he could only say sorry to Lin Mo and others who were strangers to him.
In order to prevent extraneous matters and such scandals being exposed, he did not intend to show mercy. Naturally, he would solve them all together. It would be best to kill them all with one punch.
By the way, I took over some goods from outside.
It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, and the efforts were not in vain.
He was just smiling, his laughter slowly getting smaller.
Because he saw everyone who was originally frightened looking behind him with equally frozen expressions.
He turned back sharply.
Only outside the temple.
Rumble.
On the snow-capped mountains in the distance, countless snowflakes shattered and birds and animals flew up.
A human figure appeared out of thin air, as if stepping on the snow waves, surrounded by frightened birds, and rushed towards the inn temple.
The speed was so fast that it almost became a black line, and the broken snow waves beneath his feet were like stepping on a white dragon.
Before they even got close, everyone in the temple fell silent for a moment, as if a huge stone had fallen from their hearts.
call.
Lin Mo suddenly stood up.
"I don't know if there is something behind the scenes in the meeting or in another courtyard. I need to investigate thoroughly when I get back. I need to kill when I should, punish when I should, and establish some rules." He sighed softly.
He originally thought that he would be able to arrive safely during this trip, but unexpectedly, an accident occurred.
But it doesn't matter. Now that things have come to an end, just kill them one by one.
Because until now, he has not met anyone who can really test the limits of his strength.
Whether it's Zhao Dongze or Sun Daoyi.
"You two don't stay too far away from me."
He confessed, moved his muscles and bones, and let the black cloak fall to the ground, revealing a body of muscles as strong as the roots of a dragon tree.
Clang.
Just in time, the jade crown on his head suddenly broke into pieces, and his shawl of black hair hung down on his shoulders.
The original temperament of a weak scholar suddenly changed.
Like a sleeping tiger, it takes a nap, opens its eyes, and is about to go down the mountain.
Extremely ferocious!
He strode forward, completely showing everyone in the temple that there was nothing there, giving people an inexplicable feeling that he could not be moved by any wind and could come from all directions.
When he walked to the door, the man in black, who originally had a murderous look on his face, subconsciously stepped aside.
Because Lin Mo hadn't even gotten close, they spontaneously felt an extremely strong sense of threat.
It went straight from the tail vertebrae to the back of the head, and even caused a reaction like needle pricks on the skin.
