As soon as Cao Su said this, he knew that he wanted to prostitute her for nothing.
If it weren't for the fact that top-grade martial artists were hard to find, why would she have found such an eighteen-year-old fool to cooperate?
Also, Cao Su is young after all, and only young people can cooperate easily.
If they were some old gangsters, she wouldn't dare to look for them again.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Xuanji mechanically spoke a little faster: "With Master Cao's words, I feel relieved."
Cao Su laughed twice in succession, much like Wang Meng when he was embarrassed.
He asked anxiously: "Does Brother Ouyang know where Chen Zhen is?"
Ouyang Xuanji said calmly: "Three days ago, I received the news that Chen Zhen is currently active in Yincheng, Lingzhou."
Lingzhou Yincheng!
Cao Su turned his eyes and his thoughts jumped rapidly.
It couldn't be such a coincidence. He was ambushed by the young master of the Fire Demon Sect in Yincheng, Lingzhou. I guess it was Chen Zhen's handiwork, right?
Song Jian, the young master of the Fire Demon Sect, once wrote in a letter that he met the Lushan scribe and encouraged him to kill Cao Su.
Chen Zhen studied in Lushan, so this Lushan scribe must be Chen Zhen.
Thinking of this, the killing intent in Cao Su's eyes almost burst out.
Unexpectedly, Ouyang Xuanji reminded him: "If Chen Zhen is really a disciple of Tianji Pavilion, you should carefully consider this person."
Cao Su was stunned: "What do you mean? Outer disciples are also important?"
Ouyang Xuanji said in a deep voice: "Tianji Pavilion is different from most sects in the world. They are very strict in selecting their disciples. Every outer sect disciple must be a genius selected from a million."
"When disciples go out to practice, these disciples are called 'outer disciples'. It does not mean that these disciples are unimportant in the sect."
"Although I have never met Chen Zhen, judging from his intelligence, he must be an intelligent person. And he was able to become the disciple of Zheng Ning from a small family in Tiannan Dao. His methods are probably extraordinary."
When Cao Su heard this, his heart moved slightly.
An idea flashed and he said: "What if he entered Tianji Pavilion first and then went to Lushan Academy? Could he have entered Lushan Academy just to complete the news mission and obtain news about Lushan Academy?"
Ouyang Xuanji was stunned. She had never thought about this problem.
Mainly due to preconceptions, I always think that scholars should have no problem.
Why do scholars have no problem? Chen Zhen has a very problem.
Cao Su's guess was based on his incomprehension as to why a scholar like him had to go to the world. Inferring from the opposite, Chen Zhen might have been a senior spy of Tianji Pavilion for a long time.
Thinking about it this way, this Tianji Pavilion is indeed terrifying, as if it is pervasive, penetrating into every place and every institution to obtain the information that people need.
The two looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Cao Su said coldly: "I hope Brother Ouyang will keep this secret for me. Chen Zhen has a grudge against me, and I will inevitably have to fight with him in the future."
Ouyang Xuanji smiled and said: "Since you and I have formed an alliance, why bother talking about foreign languages."
"I will keep an eye on Chen Zhen's news for you in the future, but that's all. As for Chen Zhen's future, I don't know, and I have never informed you of his information."
Cao Su smiled and said: "I understand, I haven't seen you today."
"Why would my royal court, a fifth-ranked General Fenwei, pay attention to a white person?"
........
........
The battle in Cangjiang City started suddenly and ended quickly.
I saw a large number of officers and soldiers ascending the city tower, and then on the city wall, the flags were changed again.
The banner with the word Cao was also placed on a certain wall.
Fan Long led his troops to take control of the city lord's palace, and the sporadic fighting in the city's alleys ended.
Cao Su, wearing black armor, walked down from the city tower and happened to meet Zhao Xi and other soldiers who rushed to Nancheng.
Zhao Xi found Cao Su and his eyes lit up.
"Sir, I finally found you."
Cao Su said solemnly: "I am chasing the Wanping Army. The Wanping Army is really cunning and can run faster than a rabbit."
Zhao Xi and others were surprised: "You didn't even catch up with the adults?"
Cao Su said silently: "I have caught up, but I haven't completely caught up."
After Zhao Xi and other soldiers returned to the team, they immediately followed Cao Su. Cao Su led the soldiers and rushed to the city. After walking a few steps, they met Zhang Ke, Li Li and others.
When several people saw Cao Su, they immediately gathered around him.
Zhang Ke's expression was serious: "Sir, I met Counselor Wu in Cangjiang City. What should I do?"
Counselor Wu?
Cao Su frowned and couldn't remember who this was.
Zhang Ke immediately explained: "Wu Ming used to be with us to fight against the counselor in the rebel army, but later ran away with Liu Chuang's army."
"Liu Chuang escaped too fast this time, and Wu Ming was unable to escape. He was captured by his brothers not long after he rushed out of the city lord's mansion."
Cao Su immediately remembered that he and Wu Ming had cooperated last year and intercepted the Wanping Army's food road together.
Wu Ming is the counselor of the government army. He is a warrior at the ninth level of strength. He seems to be a scholar himself, so he became the counselor.
Zhang Ke came to ask Cao Su what to do, but he actually understood that Wu Ming should not chop off his head with a knife.
Although Wu Ming was coerced into Liu Chuang's army, his own strength was average and it was a helpless move. It cannot be classified as what Liu Chuang and Qin Yao did deliberately.
Moreover, Wu Ming was a scholar, and I heard that he had great fame.
Scholars who are talented in reading these days are a rare commodity. It would be a pity to chop off their heads with a knife.
Cao Su said in a deep voice: "Bring Wu Ming over to see me."
.........
Wu Ming was arrested by Luo Yi.
A look of sigh and helplessness.
Luo Yi looked cold and stern, showing no trace of the enthusiasm of his colleagues back then.
"Hey...Brother Luo..."
Luo Yi sighed and cursed: "Don't call me Brother Luo."
Wu Ming was not angry with the stubborn elm-headed man, and explained to himself: "You also know the situation at that time, what can I do? In terms of martial arts, I am only at the ninth level, let alone Liu Chuang.
Qin Yao can also easily manipulate me."
"In terms of military power, I am just a counselor and I don't have a single soldier under my command. After they take me away, where can I go? There are soldiers watching me everywhere."
"Brother Luo, it's not that I don't want to avenge my brothers, it's just that I'm in jail and there's nothing I can do!"
Wu Ming was a little depressed. He was just a poor scholar who earned a living. He had studied and practiced martial arts. He finally became a military counselor without commanding troops. Unexpectedly, there was war everywhere.
He is like a small boat in the general trend of the world. He is weak and can only drift with the tide.
"Brother Luo, why don't you talk to Cao Fenwei? Cao Fenwei and I are old acquaintances..."
Luo Yi's eyes widened and he cursed angrily: "Don't flatter yourself. How can Cao Fenwei, a man like Cao Fenwei, tolerate people like you who don't know how to repay the kindness of the country?"
Wu Ming also had a temper, and he couldn't stand being scolded by Luo Yi: "Luo Yi, don't slander others. I was forced to break into the enemy camp, but I never killed a single soldier, and I never sacrificed anything."
One plan at a time!”
Luo Yi wanted to say something else, but Li Li came over.
He stretched out his hand to stop Luo Yi and took Wu Ming away.
"My lord wants to see him."
Wu Ming didn't want to stay with Luo Yi for a long time, so he quickly got up and left, still tied with a rope.
He was feeling uneasy and asked Li Li questions all the way.
Li Li didn't know what Cao Su was thinking, so he basically didn't reply to Wu Ming's words.
Wu Ming walked to a high house in the city, which was occupied by Cao Su and served as a temporary garrison.
Cangjiang City is too small, with more than 10,000 elite soldiers stationed there, and there are soldiers everywhere.
There are not many residents in Cangjiang City, and there are quite a few people like Cao Su who occupy uninhabited tall mansions as their residence.
Wu Ming was pushed into the mansion, and Cao Su was sitting in the main hall, wiping his sword and looking down.
I happened to look at each other with Wu Ming.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they felt very strange and strange when they met.
Wu Ming was still stuck in the impression of that vital centurion, but he didn't expect that Cao Su would not only grow in size now, but also have a formidable aura, like a giant beast from the wild, staring at him like this.
As expected, Wu Ming became a powerful general, and Wu Ming felt anxious. Could it be that his temperament had also changed drastically?
Is there still hope for the little friendships we had in the past?
"Who is here? Come to watch me sharpen my sword?"
Cao Su's voice was thunderous, and the first words he spoke made Wu Ming's heart go cold.
He was ashamed and annoyed, and deliberately did not answer: "Why is Cao Fenwei teasing me? Although I am just a small official, I am also a real man who stands upright! If you want to kill me, please speak out. If a man dies, his ears will die, so why be afraid of it?"
have?"
Wu Ming was an honest man. He had been bullied by Luo Yi for a long time and was very angry. Now he was teased by Cao Su. He gritted his teeth and the scholar's stubborn temper suddenly became hardened. He was ready to be killed and even risked his life.
When Cao Su heard this, he smiled.
He threw away his sword, walked up to Wu Ming, and personally untied Wu Ming.
"Brother Wu, how could I not know your loyalty?"
"It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time and I just wanted to joke with you. I didn't expect that you are still as charming as before!"
Cao Su untied his rope, pulled him, and asked him to walk into the main hall.
Wu Ming's nose felt sore due to the strong impact of the gap. He just felt that his experience in the past few months was really miserable. Why didn't he meet Cao Su earlier?
Cao Su invited him to take a seat and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, I know that you were kidnapped by the intruders and surrendering to the enemy was not what you wanted."
"Since I saved you from the bandit army again today, would you like to join our army again, serve as a counselor in our army, and help me?"
Wu Ming didn't even say "no" at this moment. He was moved by Cao Su's sincerity and immediately bowed his head.
"The generals will not give up on each other. I am willing to do my best and listen to my instructions sooner or later!"
