The atmosphere in Youzhou Mansion became increasingly strange.
On the one hand, as General Pingbei's big day approaches, red silk ribbons can be seen everywhere in Youzhou Mansion, showing a bit of joy.
On the other hand, behind the joy is a surging undercurrent.
All forces gathered in Youzhou Mansion.
People with a discerning eye can feel the terror hidden in the darkness, especially at night when many warriors begin to move.
On the second day after the "Assassin Riot" broke out in the Liu Mansion, some people in the restaurant began to discuss the matter.
As people spread the news, many people came to know about it.
"I'm afraid it's the work of the Youbei Alliance."
"I heard that Youbei Piaoxue City has ended the Piaoxue Secret Realm. Several high-level disciples of Yun Zhengxin gathered together, and the Youbei League's strength increased greatly, forming a crushing force on Youzhou Mansion."
"Although General Pingbei is an official of the imperial court, he is in the Jianghu. If he really confronts the Youbei League, he may only fail."
Everyone was talking a lot.
As Cao Su took control of Youzhou Mansion, Cao Su also consciously corrected his reputation in the world.
In the eyes of Jianghu people, the people in the imperial court and themselves were two different people, and Cao Su was the representative figure among them. The number of Jianghu people who died at the hands of Cao Su was countless.
However, under the propaganda of Youzhou Prefecture, Cao Su became synonymous with maintaining stability.
Although many Jianghu people died at the hands of Cao Su, they were all villains who knew and broke the law and deserved to die.
As a result, Cao Su's reputation in the Youzhou Prefecture's arena is pretty good, and he has also gained support from some local arena sects.
It's just that most of these sects are relatively weak, and the strongest among them is at most a mid-level force player. He can only do auxiliary work to promote Cao Su, but cannot directly help Cao Su.
Cao Su added fuel to the flames in society, and under several propaganda campaigns.
All public opinions in Youzhou Prefecture were on his side.
"The Youbei League is too strong. After all, this is Cao Su's wedding. So they are so disrespectful of martial ethics and attack Cao Su's fiancée first?"
"This kind of behavior is indeed not the behavior of a gentleman. In my opinion, Yun Zhengxin is just a person seeking fame and reputation..."
Most people in the arena just follow what they say, and if someone takes the lead, they are completely led astray.
All the Jianghu people in the city were led to Cao Su's side.
-------------------
A remote restaurant somewhere.
This restaurant is old and has been taken over by a group of wealthy Jianghu people.
The owner of the restaurant was happy to have his leisure time. After knowing that these Jianghu people wanted to hire him for a month, he gave the house keys to these Jianghu people without saying a word and went to the countryside to enjoy his life.
The restaurant welcomes guests as usual, but it never receives foreign guests.
At this time, in a wing room on the second floor of the inner courtyard of the restaurant.
Long Yue, who was physically strong, was practicing with his eyes closed in the side room. Next to him was Luo Wu, who had fought Wang Qing yesterday, and Ming Haocang, who was relatively thin.
The three major disciples gathered together, and Ming Haocang took off his mask, revealing a pale face.
Long Yue said in a deep voice: "Two junior brothers, did you really not find Liu's daughter?"
The Liu family's daughter in Long Yue's mouth is Cao Su's fiancée Liu Yiqi.
The Youbei League quietly sneaked into Youzhou Mansion, and the situation against Cao Suzhi was already obvious.
How to better occupy a favorable situation?
Long Yue proposed a vicious plan to kidnap Liu's daughter.
However, although he came up with the plan, due to reasons such as body size and martial arts, the specific candidates for the operation became his two junior brothers. One was Luo Wuluo madman who was not inferior to him in martial arts, and the other was good at sneaking.
Minghaocang.
Unfortunately, Ming Hao's Cang Gong failed, and he had a fight with Tan Hao, the former head of the Jin Yan Sect, at Liu's house, and finally managed to escape narrowly with Luo Wu's support.
"Liu Mansion has been prepared for this. No, Cao Su should have been prepared for it."
"This Tan Hao has a very deep city. He was originally the head of the Jinyan Sect, but he disappeared after the Tongfu City rebellion last year. The unknown bronze warrior who emerged at that time is said to have taken Tan Hao in."
"But now, Tan Hao appears in Youzhou Mansion and works for Cao Su, which means that the bronze warrior that day must be Cao Su's subordinate and also a member of the imperial court."
Everyone is not stupid. After getting some information and reasoning a little, they already know some of the original things.
Long Yue's eyes suddenly released a fierce evil spirit: "The bronze warrior killed Uncle Master. It seems that it was arranged by the imperial court. These court officials should die! They should be killed!"
Unlike Luo Wu, Long Yue was completely obsessed with martial arts. Long Yue killed many people and was in charge of many Piaoxue Sect affairs. He also had a very good relationship with Yun Zhengbai.
When Yun Zhengbai died, Long Yue was taking people into the secret realm of Piaoxue for training, and he didn't even see Yun Zhengbai for the last time.
Of course, he was not the only one in Piaoxue Sect who did not see the last side of Yun Zhengbai, which all became regrets.
Luo Wu frowned and said: "I fought against Wang Qing, the general of the imperial court. Wang Qing should have a second-level combat ability, but Wang Qing is a veteran general in the army with a murderous spirit and a wide range of martial arts skills. He fought against me.
Without an advantage, if it were a narrow strip of land in an alley, I would be sure to kill him within ten moves."
Although Luo Wu was arrogant, Long Yue never doubted his ability.
Moreover, this man never tells lies. If he is sure that he can kill Wang Qing in ten moves, then he can definitely kill him in ten moves.
This is good news.
Long Yue's eyes flashed, and his face showed excitement when he heard this: "Master is already on the way here. If we kill the general of Youzhou Prefecture in advance, it will be equivalent to breaking Cao Su's arm. In the future,
I have more confidence in dealing with Cao Su."
"We might as well ambush Wang Qing together."
"You and I will attack together. Why ten moves? If not five moves, Wang Qing will die."
Ming Haocang raised an objection. Since there is such a good thing, why should Luo Wu and Wang Qing be left one-on-one?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he made such a suggestion, he was interrupted by Luo Wu: "Junior brother Ming, you look down on me, Mr. Luo, a little too much. I said I can deal with Wang Qing, so I can deal with Wang Qing. Why bother?"
Too much trouble?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What does it mean to cause trouble? Ming Haocang's face suddenly turned ugly, and he could not communicate with this martial arts idiot.
Long Yue said seriously: "Since Junior Brother Luo has spoken, I will leave Wang Qing to you."
"Um!"
Luo Wu looked stern, and then nodded slightly with satisfaction.
While several people were talking, an obscure and inexplicable aura suddenly came from outside the restaurant.
"Master is here!"
Long Yue and others looked happy and hurriedly walked out of the side room.
I saw a lot of leaves falling in the courtyard, and a tall middle-aged man stood in the courtyard.
Next to him was a girl holding a sword for him. After hearing the sound of the door opening, she turned her head.
"I've met the master!"
Long Yue took the lead and jumped down, followed closely by Luo Wu and Ming Haocang.
Yun Zhengxin said calmly: "Dear disciples."
"Cao Su killed my virtuous brother Yun Zhengbai to bring harm to Youzhou. Today we gather in Youzhou Mansion with the purpose of eradicating this beast and restoring a bright future to Youzhou..."
Yun Zhengbai's words put Cao Su on the opposite side.
Then he looked at Long Yue: "Long Yue, where are the manpower I asked you to mobilize?"
Long Yue cupped his fists and said, "They are all already hiding in Youzhou Mansion. They can all come out together as soon as we give the order."
Several of his direct disciples indeed have their own characteristics and are all excellent in martial arts.
This time against Cao Su, with the help of these powerful disciples, the chance of victory is extremely high.
At the same time, he also revealed some of his arrangements to several disciples: "Masters from the Presbyterian Church, I have also arranged to enter Youzhou Mansion. This time I will uproot General Pingbei's Mansion, no matter who Cao Su is.
All the generals will be driven out of Youzhou."
“We Youzhou people can only make the decision on matters in Youzhou.”
Yun Zhengxin's words were also very convincing. After listening to it, several disciples nodded frequently, deeply agreeing with it.
--------------------------
A few days later, Youzhou Mansion.
Pingbei General Mansion ushered in a happy day.
Today is the engagement day between General Pingbei and the daughter of the Liu clan. According to custom, it is a first-class event.
Especially the respected status of General Pingbei added a different special meaning to this happy day.
Engagement is also called nazheng. The man prepares gifts and goes to the woman's house to make an alliance.
"Squeak——"
Early in the morning, the long street was swept clean.
The gate of General Pingbei's Mansion opened, and the Cao clan members carried numerous gifts and headed to the Liu family amidst the sound of blessings.
Since it was General Pingbei who accepted the expedition, the escort of soldiers was indispensable along the way.
On the long street, curious people couldn't help but poke their heads out, and the number of people gradually became more and more.
In the recruiting team, Cao Su rode on a black and handsome horse. He appeared in the eyes of the people of Youzhou Mansion wearing a festive red robe.
Beside Cao Su were Shi Yong and Ma Chao, Cao Su's most trusted personal generals. They worked one behind the other to keep the pace of the team's advance.
The whole team walked down the long street at a neither fast nor slow speed.
There were more and more people on the long street, and people who were eating melons came to express their congratulations to Cao Su.
"Congratulations to General Cao, congratulations to General Cao."
Cao Su smiled slightly, without any airs, and waved his hand in return: "Fathers and fellow villagers, you are so polite. If you have nothing to do, please go back and rest early. This is just a private matter for Mr. Cao, and it should not be treated as a big deal."
"After General Cao took charge of Youzhou Prefecture, the weather in our Youzhou Prefecture has gone smoothly and the people live and work in peace and contentment. You are really a great official!"
Among the crowd, a gray-haired old man emerged.
This old man looked haggard, but he seemed to be quite famous. Among the crowd, several people supported him and appeared in front of Cao Su's team.
Cao Su had no choice but to get off his horse and help the old man.
"Old man, I've praised you too much. I've praised you too much."
"I'm not talking nonsense. General Cao's achievements are obvious to all of us Youzhou people. General Cao treats us well, so General Cao is the closest person to us Youzhou people. No one can take away this."
The old man is not young, but his voice is extremely loud.
As soon as he spoke, all the people felt the same and expressed their gratitude to Cao Su.
Outside the long street, in a high-rise building.
Ming Haocang was hiding here. He looked at the scene below and couldn't help but curled his lips.
"I didn't expect Cao Su to be so capable of winning people's hearts. Master is right. Cao Su is indeed a traitor. If he is not eliminated, Youzhou may never have peace again."
In the team at the bottom, Cao Su sent his father-in-law away without hesitation.
The team continued to move forward, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"So calm?"
Cao Su had long known about the fact that Yun Zhengxin brought people to Youzhou Mansion.
Youzhou Mansion is so big, and these Jianghu people really want to sneak in, and he can't stop them even if they want to.
Therefore, instead of being passive and being attacked at any time, it is better to take the initiative, expose the opportunity of being attacked, and lure the opponent to take action.
Cao Su was going to recruit soldiers today. He showed up in person and stayed in the team, completely exposing his body to the enemy's sight. He didn't believe that Yun Zhengxin would give up such a good opportunity.
After all, if you storm the Youzhou General's Mansion, the General's Mansion occupies a very large area and there are countless soldiers hidden inside, and the other party will definitely not dare to do so.
In the current situation, there are almost no expert guards around Cao Su, and there are many people on the long street. Even if the attack fails, he can hide among the crowd. Isn't this a perfect opportunity?
Cao Su shook his head. If he were Yun Zhengxin, he would definitely not give up such a good opportunity.
As for the Youbei League led by Yun Zhengxin, if everyone gathers together, they still don’t know how long it will take, so they might as well seize the opportunity and attack first with the warriors of Piaoxue Sect.
Cao Su sat on his horse and looked around with a smile.
The energy in his body was already extremely strong, and he could clearly see the movement within a few dozen feet.
While walking through the city, I passed a stilted loft.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Cao Su subconsciously looked up and saw a willow tree with a crooked neck under the stilted attic. The river in the city passed through here, and on the stone bridge, a tree appeared.
figure.
He was wearing a white robe, his eyes were calm, looking straight ahead, and he happened to look at Cao Su in the crowd.
At this moment, everything between heaven and earth seemed to be quiet.
Cao Su stopped on his horse and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The gentle spring breeze blowing from Youzhou Prefecture caused ripples on the lake surface.
Leaves drifted down from the crooked neck tree.
It just landed in the water in front of the middle-aged man in white robe.
"Cao Su."
"Yun Zhengxin."
Although it was just their first meeting, the two seemed to have known each other for a long time and recognized each other immediately.
Just looking at each other across the crowd, no one moved.
The next moment, there was a loud explosion in the houses on both sides.
Then dozens of figures appeared and rushed towards the recruiting team. Among them, Cao Su, the most conspicuous among the team, received absolute attention. More than ten figures rushed directly towards Cao Su.
"Enemy attack!"
Before and after the team, Ma Chao and Shi Yong responded quickly.
Both of them turned around and rushed directly towards Cao Su, who was in the middle of the team.
The civilians of Youzhou Prefecture on the long street fell into panic in an instant, screaming and running away, and they could not continue to watch the show of General Pingbei accepting the conquest.
Dozens of figures instantly crossed the distance of the long street and appeared around Cao Su.
The leader was a man with a majestic build and murderous eyes.
It was Long Yue, Yun Zhengxin's eldest disciple.
He roared and rushed towards Cao Su, a rich black gas emerged from his body, and a pair of iron fists suddenly hit Cao Su's face, almost blasting Cao Su into a pulp!
