The lights flickered inside the narrow, cramped blue brick house.
Qianhu Cao Xuan sat south in front of an old square table, holding a tea cup made from a bamboo tube.
The tea cup was obviously crudely made, there were even burrs left on it, and the tea was made from mugwort leaves.
Cao Xuan's expression was very comfortable, as if he was holding the finest tea in his hand.
While sipping his tea, he spoke: "Cao really wants to thank you for today's hijacking of the library by the Blood Wind Bandits. If the situation at that time continues to be stalemate, both the Zhengyang Martial Arts School and our Jinyi Guards will lose face."
"Master Qianhu's words are serious."
Chu Xisheng smiled lightly, and her words were flawless: "A mere bloody bandit is no more than a scabies disease to a Qianhu family, and can be suppressed with just a flip of the hand. What's more, there is someone else who really killed the magician.
The common people are just a helper, and they really can't afford to be thanked by the adults."
Cao Xuan obviously disagreed. He had heard Chu Xisheng's rhetoric at noon.
But at that time, his subordinates searched inside and outside the library, but could not find the woman named Lu mentioned by Chu Xisheng.
The reason why this man said this is nothing more than two reasons. One is that he is afraid of the revenge of the Blood Wind Thief, and the other -
"Brother, I have a lot of resentment." He smiled and took out a pill bottle, a heavy silver ingot, a glittering vest, and two bronze waistbands from his sleeve, and placed them on Chu Xisheng's chest.
in front of me.
"Cao is not a person who breaks his promise to get rich, but the previous occasion was a bit inappropriate. This is the reward Cao promised to my brother. You will have to wait for two more days for your hereditary documents, declaration of identity and official status. Someone will give it to you by then.
You send it."
Only then did Chu Xisheng raise his eyebrows and look slightly moved.
The pill bottle was exactly the same as the one he got before. If nothing else happened, there should be five Peiyuan Pills in it.
That glittering golden vest is made of golden silk inner armor woven from high-quality silk and copper wire. You can tell at a glance that it is not ordinary.
The key lies in the two bronze waist cards.
Chu Xisheng picked up the waist badge and looked at it carefully.
This thing is slightly heavy to buy, which shows that it is made with plenty of materials.
On the top is a totem of a mythical beast, and below are the words "Xiushui Jinyi Qianhusuo Xiaobangguan Chu Xisheng".
The other one is also the waist badge of Xiaoqi Guan, but the name is changed to ‘Chu Yunyun’.
After Chu Xisheng looked at it, his expression became slightly condensed.
Not only did he not feel happy, but he looked at Cao Xuan with some caution: "Master Qianhu, what I want is just a hereditary small flag official, not an actual award."
Since the founding of Daning, there has been a tradition of granting hereditary military positions to the children of powerful people.
Eight hundred years after the Kingdom was passed on, the number of hereditary flag officers in Jinyiwei was as numerous as the crucian carp crossing the river.
Most of them do not work in Jinyiwei, but only receive a salary.
Later, there were too many hereditary imperial guards and the court could not afford them, so they even stopped giving them salaries.
Chu Xisheng wanted this hereditary flag official just to solve the identity problem between him and Chu Yunyun.
As long as they wear this layer of official skin, it will be easier for them to do anything in the future.
He never thought about becoming the actual officer of Jinyiwei and being sent by Jinyiwei.
And as the saying goes, when you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something. This person named Cao is obviously like a weasel giving New Year greetings to a rooster.
Cao Xuan did not look at Chu Xisheng's expression. He blew the mugwort leaves floating in the tea cup calmly and calmly: "The reason why I changed to the actual flag officer is because Cao has something to ask Brother Chu for help. I don't know.
Brother Chu, have you ever heard of Overlord Qin Muge and Ni Shen Banner?"
Chu Xisheng had originally made up his mind to refuse no matter what the other party asked him to do.
But when he heard the three words 'Qin Muge', his heart moved slightly, and he looked suspicious and said: "Who in the world knows the name of Qin Muge, the Overlord Martial King? As for the Ni Shen Banner, I don't know much about it, but those Blood Wind Thieves today are here for
Coming against the flag of the gods. You Jin Yiwei have been searching in the library for a long time, maybe you are also looking for this thing?"
Cao Xuan sneered: "That's what I want to ask for. I hope Brother Chu can help me pay attention to the clues about Qin Muge and Nishenqi at Zhengyang Martial Arts School."
Chu Xisheng was in an indescribably weird mood. It sounded like he wanted to check his own rhythm?
However, there was still a look of embarrassment on his face, and he pushed back both the token and the gold armor in front of him: "Master Qianhu is too strong to make things difficult for others. The common people cannot betray the martial arts hall, and secondly, they know how much they have.
If you don’t dare to get involved in such a turmoil as the Nishenqi, Master Qianhu should ask someone else to do it.”
"I'm not asking you to betray Zhengyang Martial Arts School."
Cao Xuan put down his teacup and looked at Chu Xisheng intently: "Cao can make a spiritual contract with you and will not let you do anything that endangers the martial arts school and the Wuxiang Shen Sect. What Cao wants is just the Ni Shen Banner.
clues.
The Anti-God Flag is the most precious treasure of our human race. It has the power to change fate and fight against the gods. Once this thing falls into the hands of evildoers, the consequences will be disastrous.
Brother Chu is able to step forward today and take the risk to kill the magician of the Blood Wind Thief. He must be a chivalrous person. Do you want to sit back and watch this thing be taken away by such evil ways as the Blood Wind Thief?"
When Cao Xuan said this, he changed his tone: "Before coming here, I actually checked Brother Chu's origin. To be honest, the household registration records of the two of you are not very reliable. You are from Taishan, Dongzhou.
He moved here from the county, but he speaks with the accent of the capital."
Chu Xisheng remained calm.
This Cao Qianhu is nothing more than using coercion and inducement, using both soft and hard tactics.
In his heart, he was absolutely determined to check himself. It would be easy to handle, and he could also get two salaries from Jinyiweibai.
But Chu Xisheng thought, he couldn't agree so readily, it would be best to ask Chu Yunyun for his opinion first.
"I'm actually very curious about Brother Chu's origins. Is he a runaway slave from an official family in the capital? A wanted criminal from the court? Or a refugee from over there? But this has nothing to do with Cao. In today's world, you brothers and sisters are like this
There are so many people, they don’t know where they came from or where they are going, and no one cares.”
At this time, Cao Xuan smiled and picked up the scissors on the table, and slowly trimmed the wick on the oil lamp: "But in the future, if you brothers and sisters want to take a further step in the Zhengyang Martial Arts School, or join the Wuxiang Divine Sect, you will not have this status.
The law wins people's trust.
Cao can help you, make your identities clear and clear, leaving no flaws, and even have the opportunity to obtain the unique elixirs and martial arts secrets of my Jin Yiwei. But everything has a price, what do you think, Xiao Chu?"
Chu Xisheng squinted and watched Cao Xuan trimming the wick with a cold expression.
Cao Xuan looked extremely focused, as if he was pruning the plants in his garden.
His hands are also very steady and meticulous.
Chu Xisheng unconsciously held the waist knife, and what was thinking in his mind was Cao Xuan's words, "I don't know where to go."
He thought for a long time and then released his hand holding the knife: "This matter is of great importance. Please give me some time, Mr. Qianhu, to allow me to think about it."
Cao Xuan frowned, his eyes seemed displeased.
His hands trembled and he actually cut off most of the wick.
"Missed."
Cao Xuan smiled as if he was ashamed and put down the scissors: "Well, it's human nature for me to have concerns. Cao will give me five days. If he is interested, he can go to the store northeast of the martial arts school.
Baozi shop, buy three tangerine peel steamed buns.
He patted the gold armor and waist badge on the table again: "These things will stay here. Regardless of whether I agree or not, this is the reward Cao promised you."
