The General's Mansion is heavily guarded. At night, there are fewer people walking around, but there are many powerful and uncertain auras in the darkness.
This is the safest place in the empire, and many people who think they are masters in the world do not dare to set foot here easily.
From the backyard of the General's Mansion, the melodious sound of the piano came.
A majestic young man dressed in a black python robe and brocade clothes was sitting in the courtyard. In front of him was Anyang, who was wearing a thousand-pleated scarlet skirt. She was playing music on the piano, and the melodious music floated in the courtyard.
Anyang is a princess of the royal family. In her early years, she also studied folk arts and chess under everyone's tutelage.
But no one knew that she had secretly practiced extremely powerful martial arts, even reaching a level beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Anyang practiced the Jade Divine Finger. The green jade fingers are long, slender and white, and are like ivory-like jade products. When playing, they show a bit of artistic beauty.
After playing a piece of music, Anyang gently put his hand on the piano, and the sound of the bird suddenly stopped.
Cao Su opened his eyes and looked at her gently: "How is your recovery?"
I came here specifically to see Anyang today. Anyang shook his head: "The meridians were severely damaged, and the internal energy in the Dantian has recovered a little, but the most serious damage is to the spiritual consciousness. Now I am still very lethargic, and I am afraid it will not be restored in the short term.
"
Is it still so serious? Cao Su frowned: "Didn't Yingmo Shigu say before that you only need to recover your state before you can enter the mysterious realm?"
"Yes, but the Xuan Realm is different from the Strength Realm. The Strength Realm still lies in the cultivation of the physical body, while the Xuan Realm is more about the unification of spiritual thoughts, using the spirit to enter the martial arts, and pushing the martial arts to a new stage. In comparison,
The cultivation of the physical body is indeed a bit inferior."
Anyang explained the difference between the Mysterious Realm and the Power Realm, and she turned around and said: "But the cultivation of the physical body is the key to supporting the Xuan Realm. This has been proved by my lack of physical cultivation before, which led to the failure to break through the Xuan Realm."
Cao Su nodded, and then thought of himself. After practicing the Dragon Martial Scripture, his body became stronger, and his absolute strength had surged to a million kilograms, like a humanoid ferocious beast. In addition,
, he also has the Black Demon Technique that can improve his status, but the use of the Black Demon Technique has some side effects, and Cao Su will not use it easily unless it is a last resort.
On the contrary, the True Code of Dragon Martial Arts was more helpful to Cao Su in normal situations, and also gave Cao Su a stronger state and physique, which was said to be truly like Dragon Martial Arts.
Therefore, Cao Su felt that since he had broken through to the Mysterious Realm, his physical body should be up to standard.
He then thought about it, Anyang and he have been practicing together for so long. Logically speaking, the Yin Lei Body should also meet the standards for breaking through the profound realm. How come... He thought about this and couldn't help but look at it more.
Come to Anyang.
Seeing that Cao Su's eyes suddenly became a little strange, Anyang rolled his eyes at him, and then said softly: "If you can break through the Xuan Realm, you will have five hundred years of life, and you must go to Tongtian City. Then the people here
what to do?"
Cao Su is not like Anyang. Anyang is now devoted to seeking the truth, just like a lonely person. Except for Cao Su, a person who cooperates with both cultivators, there is no one in the world who can make her worry. However, Cao Su has a lot of worldly things around him, except for Anyang.
In addition, there are several beautiful wives and concubines, both parents are here, and there are many children. How can I leave a large family?
Cao Su said in a deep voice: "I want to compete for the position of inspector of Tongtian City. In the future, I will patrol for the domain lord, so that I can return to Qianyuan from time to time."
Anyang also guessed that Cao Su would definitely compete for the position of Inspector, but Inspector is not something that can be achieved simply. Every Inspector is an upper-level figure in Tongtian City and has considerable authority.
, the difficulty of being promoted from an ordinary Tongtian City resident to an inspector is not small. It is like stepping into the officialdom for nothing. The class to be crossed is very large.
Although she had heard a little bit about Tongtian City and knew how difficult it was, seeing that Cao Su had already planned what to do next, she did not make a sound to attack Cao Su, so she recognized Cao Su's plan.
"Unfortunately, I am afraid that my time in Qianyuan is running out. I heard today that there is a lot of turmoil in the city of God. There are always people who want to do some impossible things and get into trouble for no reason.
.”
"Anyang, why don't you think they want to live a good life? Aren't all the beauties in this world worthy of their nostalgia?"
Cao Su was talking to himself, and Anyang was a little confused by what he said. She looked at Cao Su with doubtful eyes.
Cao Su shook his head and sighed: "Okay, you can have a good rest. I'll go out for a while."
Anyang didn't care about business, but she also knew that Cao Su was busy with official duties on weekdays. However, under such busy official duties, Cao Su could still make such progress in martial arts. This was very impressive to her. She nodded with a smile and played again.
The guqin in the courtyard was played, and a melodious tune floated in the general's mansion.
------------------
The Office of the Minister of Rites.
Li Rang, the Minister of Rites, is one of the current elders in the court.
Feng Yuchan and Li Rang each had many disciples and former officials, but Feng Yuchan mainly developed in the military. He had been the general of the Zuo for many years before, while Li Rang was in the civil servant system.
Late at night, in the study of Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, Li Rang received a fellow traveler who came quietly.
Several people gathered together and discussed secretly. There was also a lot of powerful aura in the darkness of Shangshu's Mansion.
"Ming Gong, this is not possible. News has come from Xizhou that Tao Mingwen is dead and Xizhou has been pacified."
"In Xizhou, Cao Cao's traitor is definitely stronger. Who else in the entire court can stop him?"
"The thief Cao imprisoned the emperor, stayed in the imperial city at night, and humiliated the Tian family. He was a first-class national thief. However, his martial arts skills are so strong. If there is no perfect strategy, how can he kill the thief Cao?"
Several people were worried and thought they were the only loyal ministers in the court.
Li Rang said in a wide voice: "Everyone, don't worry. Although Cao Cao's martial arts is high, he can't beat four hands with two fists. I have already found someone to deal with Cao Cao. He will definitely kill Cao Cao with one blow."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Really? That's great!"
Several voices were obviously louder. They were not afraid of dealing with Cao Su, but they were afraid that there was no suitable person responsible for killing Cao Su.
If you want to kill the Cao thief, you should ask for the help of a first-class martial artist, right? But there are only so many first-class warriors in the world, and only a few in the entire city of God, so how can you find such a person?
Among the several voices, someone questioned: "Who did Ming Gong ask for help?"
"Yes, can you tell me who you have contacted? It will also make us feel at ease."
Several people looked at the gray-haired Li Rang, who smiled slightly and clapped his hands gently.
Then, outside the study, through the dim candlelight window paper, a figure appeared. The figure was very majestic, with a long and powerful aura. Among the people who were conferring, two of them were accomplished military generals, and the Qi machine sensed it.
Yes, you can tell right away that this is the aura of a first-grade martial artist.
There is always a feeling of familiarity between the two of them, but they can't remember where this breath comes from.
"Sure enough, he is a first-grade martial artist, is he Sect Master Shi?"
Among the two generals, one suddenly felt blessed and guessed the identity of the person who came. The person outside the house did not show up, but he did not deny his identity. The other voices did not know who Sect Master Shi was. They only talked about this world.
Things are too far away from them.
"If it is true that Sect Leader Shi is in person, then we will be confident in dealing with the Cao thief."
The two generals were also gray-haired old men. They looked at each other with turbid eyes, both seeing the other's ambition and approval.
Li Rang, who was sitting on the high seat, smiled and said, "Not only Brother Shi, there are others who will do it together."
Several people were overjoyed when they heard such good news, but after taking a look at everyone, some people asked with some concern: "Does Lord Situ know about this? Today we are discussing such a big matter, why is Lord Situ doing this?"
Not there?"
Li Rang smiled calmly and explained to Feng Yuchan: "Today there is a happy event for the Situ family. The Situ family and the Sima family are engaged, which just happened to attract the attention of Cao Cao. It is convenient for us to do things. Otherwise, we may not be sure of our meeting like this."
It will attract the attention of the secret guards under Cao Cao's command. Those secret guards are very difficult to deal with. If it weren't for the help of Sect Leader Shi, I wouldn't even know that there are secret guards in my family."
"What? There is such a thing?"
When everyone heard that even the Secret Guards had infiltrated the Shang Shu's home, they all looked horrified and wondered if they could ask Sect Leader Shi for a favor and go back and clear out the Secret Guards at home.
Someone immediately cursed: "That Cao Su is really a hypocrite. On the surface he said he was disbanding the Arch Guard Department, but in fact he recruited the original members of the Suppressing Evil Department for his own use. He also secretly sent people to the ministers' homes. He talked about opening up the avenues of speech. It was all a lie.
.”
"Fortunately, there are top masters like Sect Master Shi now. If Sect Master Shi can take action, it is possible to kill the Cao thieves. This is a blessing for the imperial court and a blessing for Qianyuan!"
Everyone sighed for a while, but there was a hint of excitement in their words.
It's so tragic. For a long time in the past, they couldn't see the possibility of defeating Cao Su. The main reason was that they couldn't find anyone who could fight against Cao Su. But the world is so far away and the world is so vast.
There are people coming out in large numbers, but in fact there are still people who can deal with Cao Su, but the question is whether they can recruit them. Now that this world-famous martial artist of the first rank thirty years ago is willing to come forward, Cao Su will definitely be able to defeat him.
As long as the Cao thief can be killed, the northern states have now been pacified, and the Western state is about to be pacified. The world has almost been controlled by the gods again. The day when the order of power in the world will be reshuffled will come soon, and
They will become the new rulers of the empire... Once this possibility appears in everyone's minds, it makes everyone's hearts even more intense, as if they have seen the scene of climbing to the top of the high palace in the future.
These are the foundations laid by Cao Su. Although Cao Su has no ambitions for the emperor, he is still very capable. If it were not for his ambition and his attempt to get involved in the Qianyuan country, everyone would still be happy to work under him.
With everyone thinking like this, Li Rang said: "The time has been decided. Everyone, what is going on here is a top secret in the world. Before the day when Cao Cao is crowned king, there must not be any leakage, otherwise we will wait.
We will definitely fall into a place of eternal disaster. Cao Cao has many claws, eagles and dogs under his hands. Gentlemen, please remember this!"
Everyone looked solemn, knowing that what Li Rang emphasized was indeed a top priority, so they nodded solemnly in response.
Someone said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Ming Gong, how can we reveal such secrets easily? This time we will eradicate Cao Cao's thieves, rescue the emperor, and restore a bright and prosperous world to the capital of God!"
"That's right!"
Everyone agreed, and even Sect Leader Shi who was outside the screen window nodded frequently.
Sect Master Shi spoke for the first time, and his hoarse voice sounded: "My lords, Cao Su will be left to me. I haven't been out of the world for thirty years. I didn't expect that such a powerful person would come out in the world. I admire you deeply.
, I really want to see it in person.”
His words were full of confidence, and everyone was overjoyed.
Just when he was about to say a few compliments, a deep voice suddenly came from in front of Sect Master Shi: "You want to see me?"
This sound was so sudden that everyone who was talking excitedly in the study heard this sudden sound. Their heads went numb, the hairs on their backs stood up, and they looked at each other in horror.
"who?"
Sect Leader Shi who was standing guard outside the house shouted loudly.
boom!
Then, a majestic energy exploded, and violent fighting fluctuations suddenly appeared in Shangshu's mansion.
The strong wind blew open the study door. Several old men in the study were blown around by the strong wind. An old man like Li Rang who was half buried in the ground was actually very weak and was blown directly to the ground.
His head was smashed by the flying gravel, and he was bleeding.
The pain in the body is only temporary, the most terrifying thing is the fear in the heart.
Li Rang looked up in disbelief, and saw an old man in the courtyard outside the study. In front of him was a majestic young man in a black python robe. The young man looked at the old man with a half-smile. The old man's robes were so fierce that he looked like a giant.
enemy.
"Tianxia Huishi asked?"
Cao Su's face was stern. He looked at the yellow-robed old man in front of him and gathered a strong first-grade aura.
Although the old man in yellow robe looked old, he was also very tall. He stretched out his palm, and there were traces of the palm he had just exchanged with Cao Su, and there was even a trace of flame burning on it.
He snorted coldly, waved his hand, and the traces of dark flames on his face disappeared immediately.
"It's strange that General Cao, who is made of steel and iron, can practice such sinister and vicious palms."
