As soon as I left the house, I couldn't help laughing.
The housekeepers on the left and right also laughed, and two of them were his sons.
One of the sons said disdainfully: "General Pingbei is just a twenty-year-old boy. He thinks he has achieved some military exploits and then gets carried away. It's really laughable."
The other son also shook his head slightly: "You are indeed too young. How can you be so impulsive?"
Mr. Jiang's two sons are both in their thirties, much older than Cao Su.
Although neither of them has fully grasped family power, they have been in high positions for a long time and have dealt with the top families in the city, so they think they are very capable.
Mr. Jiang scolded his two sons for their criticism in a deep voice: "Go back and tell me, don't stop here. This guy's martial arts is truly at the third level. The two of you combined can't even hold him with one finger."
The two sons listened to their father's scolding, but they still showed no concern on their faces.
He's just a brainless warrior, isn't he being manipulated by them?
City Lord's Mansion.
After the Jiang family left, two people walked out from behind Cao Su.
One was Zhongjin and the other was Wu Ming. The two civil servants walked to the side of Cao Su. In front of Cao Su were two maps, one was a map of the surroundings of Youzhou Prefecture, and the other was a map of the mountains, rivers and terrain of the entire Youzhou.
.
Cao Su stared at the map of Youzhou Prefecture and was in a daze.
Zhongjin moved his hand to a mountain range dozens of miles west of Youzhou Mansion, which was marked with the words "Tuxian Mountain".
"The thieves on Tuxian Mountain call themselves the Tuxian Thieves and have been entrenched in Youzhou Prefecture for many years."
"I remember that when Luo Jian first came to Youzhou Prefecture, he spent some time leading his army to quell the rebellion, but failed. He also defeated the few remaining elite troops of Youzhou Prefecture. After that, the government of Youzhou Prefecture
The army has been in a state of decline, so that when Li Xingxi grew up on the border between the two states, he never had the energy to discipline him."
Zhongjin is a native of Youzhou, and he is familiar with all the big and small things in Youzhou.
"This group of thieves has such a strong tone."
Cao Su sighed at the name of "Slaying Immortal", and didn't know how so many monks in Youzhou could tolerate this. If he was a monk, whenever he heard that someone here was called "Slaying Immortal", he would definitely reward him first.
He has a flying sword.
Zhongjin hesitated and said: "At first they were bandits, but later they occupied Tuxian Mountain for many years. No one could do anything to them. They became more like a group of forces."
"It's just that it's not the righteous forces, but the evil forces in Youzhou."
"I heard that there are thousands of elite bandits in total. Among them, the first, second and third masters are all well-known figures in the Youzhou martial arts world. The master is said to be a top master who has broken through to the upper level, so no one dares to offend him."
The Immortal Killer Thief is considered to be the top bandit, and he also understands the principle of sustainable development. Generally, when it comes to plundering caravans, he will rob seven and release three, giving the other party a way to survive.
But this time, I learned from the Jiang family that it seemed that the Immortal Slaughter Thieves had taken down all of them, and it was clear that they were provoking the people in power in Youzhou Mansion.
This was not logical at all, and Cao Su subconsciously felt that the Immortal Killer did this on purpose, as if he was trying to lure him over to suppress the bandits.
"How high is Tuxian Mountain and how lush can the vegetation be?"
Wu Ming remembered that when he and Cao Su went out for the first time, Cao Su began to study how to burn mountains, and subconsciously took another look at Cao Su.
Cao Su was just worried about the ambush. Tu Xian Mountain was certainly not small, and he didn't have the energy to burn such a mountain.
Zhongjin thought for a while and said: "Tuxian Mountain is bare and there are not many woods on it. However, the mountain is steep and the mountain road is rugged. It is difficult for ordinary people to climb the mountain, so it is also an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place."
Cao Su thought for a moment, then called Zhang Ke in.
"Tonight, we will gather a thousand elite soldiers, cook at the third watch, send out troops at the fifth watch, and go straight to Tuxian Mountain."
Cao Su had just promised everyone not to be impulsive, but now he acted more urgently and actually raised his troops directly under the stars.
Zhongjin immediately understood what Cao Su meant: "Sir, that's wonderful!"
He said he was not impulsive, but in reality he was lying. No one expected that Cao Su had secretly sent troops to massacre Immortal Mountain when no one was paying attention.
Cao Su has already figured out the sneak attack. The more unexpected the opponent is, the better the results will be.
He arranged things one by one, and soon it became dark.
----------------------------------------
A few dozen miles west of Youzhou Prefecture is Tuxian Mountain.
Tuxian Mountain has many mountains. At night, it is covered with a layer of mist, which looks like a veil under the moonlight.
On the mountain, the three heads of Tuxian Mountain welcomed an uninvited guest.
The great master, Hong Ding, is known as the top three peerless masters in Nanyou Wulin, and he is standing on the top of the mountain at this moment.
The distinguished guest was extremely fast. He appeared from the foot of the misty mountain and was in front of him in an instant.
"Hong Da is in charge."
The uninvited guest was a middle-aged man wearing a green robe, a bamboo hat on his head, and a long sword in his hand.
After he appeared, a dull aura spread out, and he was able to compete with Hong Ding.
"Li Xinglun."
When the two met, they cherished words like gold. The two masters behind Hong Ding were not good at martial arts and could not help but be forced back by the auras of the two top-level masters.
Li Xinglun smiled calmly and said: "Master Hong Da is really in a good mood. He is still in the mood to admire the moon late at night. Do you know that you are already in trouble?"
Li Xinglun looked intimidating when he first came up, Hong Ding looked as usual, but his two sworn brothers' expressions changed slightly.
If ordinary people said this, they would naturally not believe it. But this is Li Xinglun, the deputy leader of the Eclipse Sect and a high-ranking master. How can his words be false?
The Eclipse Sect, like Tu Xian Shan, is a sect that is both good and evil. Sometimes, it is even more extreme than Tu Xian Shan.
Tuxian Mountain only collects protection fees, but the Eclipse Sect directly recruits people into the religion by force. It has many elites under its command, ranking among the three major sects in Youzhou.
Hong Ding frowned and said, "Are you also afraid of Cao Su?"
Li Xinglun laughed loudly when he heard this: "Hong Ding, you don't need to provoke me. Our Eclipse Sect is at least five hundred miles away from Youzhou Prefecture. Unlike your Tuxian Mountain, which is right next to Youzhou Prefecture.
As the saying goes, 'One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.' Cao Su has 50,000 imperial troops who have won every battle, and he is a master of the third rank. How can he tolerate you sleeping soundly on his couch?"
What Li Xinglun said makes sense. Hong Ding has been having trouble sleeping and eating since Cao Su arrived in Youzhou.
Cao Su was different from Luo Jian. Luo Jian was a bookworm and wanted to suppress bandits with two book boys. Hong Ding was not afraid of him at all.
But the 50,000 elite soldiers under Cao Su's command are all the Imperial Forbidden Army. How many realms of strength do they have?
If they really came out in full force, could Tuxian Mountain be able to stop them?
Hong Ding stared at Li Xinglun and asked in a deep voice: "Li Xinglun, what do you want?"
Li Xinglun smiled faintly and looked up at the boundless sky. The bright moonlight just shone on his body, making it shine brightly.
His voice came out: "It's very simple. You and I will kill Cao Cao together."
----------------------------------
Late at night, at the foot of Tuxian Mountain.
I do not know how long it has been
"call--"
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed out from under the mountain.
The black shadow moves extremely fast, flashing past like a ghost in the dark night.
Starting from the foot of the mountain, the Immortal Slaughter Bandits had already started arranging people to keep watch.
The bandits on sentry duty were pretty good, but unfortunately this figure was far more powerful than them. They could only feel a mountain breeze blowing on their faces, but didn't notice anything strange.
"call--"
The black shadow climbed up the mountain. When he encountered a section that he couldn't climb, he reached out and grabbed the rock. He hung lightly on the edge of the rock, and then with a strong force, he rolled up several feet.
Climbing along the mountain will be more secluded, and there will be much less noise than flying up in the air.
But if he really can't find a way, and there are no rocks to lend him strength, he will be suspended in the air, and then float up little by little.
The flying ability of third-level warriors is not very strong, and they can only basically escape the gravity of the earth. Once they receive external force, they will not be able to help but fall from the sky.
Wearing a mask with a green face and fangs, he easily climbed up the back slope to the highest point of Tuxian Mountain.
On Tuxian Mountain, there are some trees and green grass, giving it a quiet and peaceful scene.
Cao Su stood under the moonlight and looked into the distance. He saw an ancient village with a wooden structure, hidden in the slit on the top of the mountain. The houses were high or low, large or small, and overlapped.
Overlapping and intertwined.
The life of a bandit is much better than he imagined.
He immediately turned into a black light and floated into the ancient village.
Everyone in the ancient village was resting. Cao Su was of the third level of strength and had sharp ears and eyes. He could tell if anyone was sleeping or pretending to sleep just by listening.
He walked and listened, and soon reached the highest point of the village. It was a huge house built on top of everyone.
The room was as big as a roof, and there was a long, long and three short breaths inside. It was obvious that the other party's inner strength was quite good.
Cao Su landed on the roof of the house and listened quietly into the house.
The people in the house were practicing seriously and had no idea that the enemy had arrived on his roof several days in advance.
Cao Su didn't know the three masters of Tuxian Mountain, but he could feel that the martial arts of the warriors in the room seemed not weak.
At the same time, outside the Youzhou City Lord’s Mansion.
Two masked figures suddenly appeared and also sneaked into the city lord's mansion silently.
One of them was quite familiar with the City Lord's Mansion and easily found the location of the main room of the City Lord's Mansion.
The two people covered their faces and quietly came outside the main room. Then they looked at each other, both showing doubts.
"Not there?"
"Could it be in another room?"
Both of them are masters of internal strength and can easily transmit sounds into secrets.
Li Xinglun took off his mask and frowned: "Impossible, he is the general of Youzhou, how can he sleep in the wing?"
There was a trace of unwillingness on his face, and he finally persuaded Hong Ding to come and assassinate Cao Su. Unexpectedly, no one from Cao Su was seen.
At this moment, we can only retreat first and think of another way to clean the bottom of the city lord's mansion.
As long as the Forbidden Army is not alerted today, they will still have a chance to try again tomorrow.
