Li Muchan looked at Cao Ya, and Cao Miao whispered: "Dad has twelve bodyguards, but he never kept them with him for fear of being tabooed. Please remember this."
Li Muchan looked at Cao Ya, shook his head and sighed: "Teacher, you are really calm."
It was difficult at the beginning and the Mohu Gang was rampant, but teacher Cao Ya still didn't use these guards. Could it be that he was really sure that the Mohu Gang couldn't kill him!
His eyes in the void didn't notice anything strange, which is a bit interesting!
Cao Ya said: "Brother Hu, let's do it."
"Okay." Hu Ruilin said with a smile, got up and went to the window, opened the window, took in the birdcage hanging by the window, and then opened the birdcage.
Li Muchan was astonished to see that the little bird in the cage was white and flawless, and its chirping was melodious and melodious, making people feel light-hearted and ups and downs with its chirping.
Li Muchan always thought it was a small ornamental bird with little use, used to cultivate one's temperament, but now it seems that he has made a mistake.
Hu Ruilin lifted the cage to the top of his head. The bird jumped and landed on Cao Ya's shoulder. Li Muchan narrowed his eyes. It was so fast!
Cao Ya touched the bird's head and patted it. The bird chirped out of the window and disappeared.
Hu Ruilin smiled and said: "As soon as they come, Brother Cao, you will be infallible, and I can breathe a sigh of relief!"
Cao Ya smiled: "I'm sorry to bother you, Brother Hu!"
"What are you talking about!" Hu Ruilin waved his hand and said with a smile: "I wish for it! I have heard about these people for a long time, but I can't see them."
Cao Ya pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Brother Hu is going to be disappointed."
"...Okay, okay." Hu Ruilin shook his head helplessly and said, "I'll just avoid it!"
Cao Ya said apologetically: "Brother Hu, please forgive me."
~~-He didn't explain much. Li Muchan understood that if the king is not secretive, his ministers will be lost, and if the ministers are not secretive, they will be corrupted. The identities of these guards are very important and cannot be exposed.
Hu Ruilin said: "That's all, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Cao Miao said: "Uncle Hu, my father promised them that they would not see anyone except me and me. Although my father wants you to see them, uncle Hu, you can't break your promise..."
Hu Ruilin shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay Miao'er, I understand, I would do the same thing if it were you!... It's getting late, let's go back."
"Okay." Hu Xiaofeng responded in a dull voice, pointing to the people in black on the ground: "How to deal with these people?"
"You handle it," Hu Ruilin said.
Hu Xiaofeng nodded, "Qiang..." Amidst the soft chanting, sword light flashed, and several men in black on the ground were struck by swords in their throats, and blood was pouring out.
Cao Miao frowned, Xiao He wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction and snorted. Seeing Cao Miao's eyes, she could only swallow her words.
Cao Ya's expression was as usual, and Li Muchan also watched quietly. Hu Xiaofeng glanced at Li Muchan and saw that he didn't show any strange expression. He snorted with some disappointment, bent down, picked up the two of them, and walked away.
After a while, he turned back and took the two of them away again. He repeated this process several times, sending all the people in black away, leaving the front of the small pavilion empty, leaving only some blood stains.
Li Muchan got some soil to cover the blood stains, and Hu Ruilin and Hu Xiaofeng left the small courtyard. Their father and son lived in the courtyard to the west. It was not suitable for women to live in the same courtyard.
Li Muchan watched them leave and shook his head. Cao Ya said: "Wuji, your archery skills are indeed good, but they are still inferior to those of martial arts masters."
Li Muchan nodded and said: "Yes, teacher, I will work hard."
Xu Bo smiled and said: "Master, the young master's archery skills are amazing, I'm afraid there is no room for improvement."
Cao Ya shook his head and said: "There are volleys of arrows and moon-chasing arrows in the army. The art of archery is similar to martial arts. There is no distance, so don't be complacent!"
Li Muchan said: "Teacher, have you seen it before?"
Cao Ya nodded: "There are many good players in the army who can shoot three consecutive arrows. Chasing moon arrows requires unique mental skills. I will find a way to find a master for you."
"Thank you, teacher." Li Muchan smiled and clasped his fists.
Cao Ya waved his hand and said: "I didn't expect your archery talent to be so outstanding!...Old Xu, you and Xiaohe go to rest, and Wuji will talk to you."
"Yes." Xu Bo and Xiao He left the pavilion and returned to their own rooms.
Cao Ya stood up and left the small pavilion. Li Muchan and Cao Miao followed him into the main room. Cao Ya sat in front of the case. Cao Miao took off the lampshade and picked out the wick. The room became a little brighter.
"Teacher, I'm sleepy too. Let's rest first." Li Muchan said.
Cao Ya waved his hand and glanced at him: "Just stay there!"
Cao Miao pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Junior brother, you don't have to avoid suspicion. They are dad's guards, and they will also be your guards in the future. You must meet them."
Li Muchan said: "Teacher, I don't need protection."
Cao Ya said in a deep voice: "The son of a rich man cannot sit down in court. Once you make a move, you will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the officialdom! How can you do it without guards?"
Li Muchan was silent and nodded slowly.
Cao Ya stood up and walked back and forth with his hands behind his hands. He walked back and forth twice and said in a deep voice: "They are actually my adopted sons. They were adopted by me twenty years ago. Now they are all talented."
Cao Miao said: "They are all beggars. They were saved by their father when their lives were in danger. There is no need to doubt their loyalty."
Cao Ya muttered: "I don't know martial arts, but they are good at martial arts. When you come here, you can learn from each other and know their basic skills."
Li Muchan said: "Teacher, I admire you for your foresight!"
Cao Ya shook his head: "Actually, I didn't think so much at first. I couldn't just ignore death and save him. I saved him when I saw him. I didn't expect that they would all live up to their expectations and become talented."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "If you sow melons, you will reap melons; if you sow beans, you will reap beans."
Cao Ya nodded and said: "Yes, you can grow more melons and beans and lessen your enemies...but you have to be upright, otherwise it is better not to be an official and come back to be a rich man like me!"
Li Muchan clasped his fists: "Teacher, don't worry."
"You have a calm temperament and extraordinary intelligence. I can rest assured." Cao Ya sat down, stroking his beard and said: "It's easy to dodge open spears and hard to defend against hidden arrows. It's impossible without guards. I can't use them, but you can, so I summoned you."
Come and see them."
Li Muchan said: "Teacher has good intentions."
Cao Ya smiled and said: "If you can study hard and shepherd the people, that will be enough for me."
Li Muchan nodded: "I will work hard."
While the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door. The sound was soft. Cao Miao quickly took two steps and opened the door.
A young man in gray clothes stood at the door. Cao Miao turned sideways. He slipped in and bowed to Cao Ya: "I've met my foster father!"
"Xiaolong, you're here." Cao Ya smiled and looked him up and down: "It's so fast, are you following me?"
"Yes, foster father." The young man in gray nodded: "Why doesn't foster father let us take action?"
Cao Ya shook his head: "The time has not come yet, I guess my opponent is testing me."
The young man in gray clothes nodded slowly: "I think the same thing as my adoptive father. This is a temptation, but it is dangerous enough. I am really worried..."
Cao Ya smiled and said: "The fate of a father is not that soft."
The young man in gray clothes looked at Li Muchan: "Father, who is this...?"
"This is the disciple I have accepted, Li Wuji." Cao Ya said.
The young man in gray clothes was surprised: "Disciple?...The foster father finally accepted a disciple?"
Cao Ya nodded: "Wuji has good character and talent. I want you to take more care of him in the future!"
"Of course." The young man in gray said with a smile: "Junior brother Wuji will never be bad if he can enter the eyes of his adoptive father. We will definitely take good care of him."
Cao Ya said: "Wuji, this is Cao Long, the boss. Your safety will depend on them in the future. Don't do it yourself!"
"Yes, teacher." Li Muchan nodded slowly and cupped his fist towards Cao Long: "Senior Brother, please take care of me."
"Where is it?" Cao Long smiled and waved his hand: "My foster father is a reward. We will be a family from now on, so there is no need to be polite!"
He understood that the identities of the twelve of them were top secret and no one else knew about them. Since his adoptive father allowed Li Wuji to see him, he treated them as a family and did not need to be exposed to outsiders.
He secretly looked at Li Muchan, but couldn't see anything unusual about him. He didn't seem to know martial arts, and his appearance was ordinary, without any impressive charm.
Li Muchan also looked at Cao Long. He had a square face, reddish complexion, and straight facial features. He looked kind and upright, and could easily win the trust of others.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Elder brother is in business, right?"
"Haha, I work in a restaurant." Cao Long nodded and said with a smile, "How did Junior Brother Wuji find out?"
Li Muchan said: "Sir, very few people can be harmonious. Being harmonious brings wealth. Why do you do this if you don't want to save money?"
"You are indeed worthy of being a disciple of your foster father." Cao Long said with a smile, "What a good eye!"
While the two were talking, there was another knock on the door. Before Cao Miao opened the door, a young man in black clothes floated in. After closing the door, he bowed in front of Cao Ya and saluted: "I have met my foster father!"
His voice was cold, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura.
Li Muchan took a look at him. His face was pale and thin, and his body was a little thin. He looked like a frail scholar, but the evil energy around him seemed to be substantial.
"Xiaohu," Cao Ya frowned and said, "Kill less people!"
"Yes, foster father." The skinny young man nodded and said no more. He nodded lightly at Cao Long and glanced at Li Muchan, but he showed no curiosity.
Cao Ya turned his head and said: "Wuji, this is Cao Hu, the second eldest brother, you call me second senior brother, Xiaohu, this is my disciple, take good care of him in the future."
Cao Hu nodded and said only: "Yes, foster father."
Cao Ya shook his head helplessly, and then several people came over, six in total, Cao Bao, Cao Feng, Cao He, Cao Yu, Cao Bao was a thin and light young man, full of wildness, Cao Feng was a beautiful woman, and Cao He was a
A young man with an unspectacular appearance, Cao Yu is personable and handsome.
Their identities are varied, Cao Long is the owner of the restaurant, Cao Hu is a disciple of Shenwu Mountain, Cao Bao is a disciple of Zhengyi Hall, Cao Feng is a disciple of Zishang Palace, Cao He is a disciple of Fengxing Sect, and Cao Yu is the master of Guanyu Hall.
Seeing that the six young men had arrived, Cao Ya coughed lightly and said slowly: "Wuji, in a hurry today, I summoned six of them. You will still need them to take care of you in the future."
