The meal was very sumptuous, much better than the roast chicken pancakes at night. Cao Jinxing ate some casually and asked: "How did your father get into trouble with the Demon Cult? There is not much true energy, it seems to be left on purpose."
"yes……"
Zhang Chengfeng put down his wine glass and showed a look of helplessness: "Your Excellency, you must have heard that my father made a fortune on the Silk Road in his early years and traveled as far as Persia. The seeds of this disaster were planted at that time."
Zhang Chengfeng told a story.
At that time, Mingzong, one of the three demonic sects, was also called Mingjiao. It was a new sect that was introduced to China from Persian Zoroastrianism and changed its name. The main altar was located at Guangmingding in the Western Region.
This religion believes in the God of Light, and has a leader, a saint, two envoys, four protectors and five elements of flags.
Zhang Dajing traveled with caravans through the Western Regions to trade with Persia many times, and once he met a woman from the Western Regions.
He didn't know it at the time, but that was the Mingjiao saint, Ayi Xiamu, whose Chinese name was Jiang Manni.
The saint is a symbol of Mingjiao's holiness. The canon rules strictly prohibit the adulteration of children's affairs. Ayishamu has always been strict with himself and kept his true intentions.
However, it is human nature for men to love women.
How could Aishamu stop it?
By chance, the two traveled to the Western Regions together, and Ayi Xiamu fell in love with the knowledgeable Zhang Dajing.
But Zhang Dajing only regarded her as a little sister, not to mention that he was already engaged at the time and had a deep love for his fiancée, so naturally he would not fall in love with her.
When Ayi Xiamu couldn't help but confess his love, Zhang Dajing was greatly surprised, and then he sternly refused, which was too embarrassing to meet, so he left without saying goodbye.
Until a few years later.
Zhang Dajing was already a well-known businessman in the capital at that time. When he met again in the Western Region, he thought that this incident had long been a thing of the past. He never expected that Ayi Xiamu became obsessed with practicing the "Holy Fire Code" and was constantly satiated.
Tormented by demonic fire, his temperament changed drastically and he became murderous.
In order to retaliate, she slapped Zhang Dajing angrily.
With her power at the time, it would have been easy to kill Zhang Dajing, but she refused to kill him. Instead, she planted a ray of Holy Fire Scripture energy to make him taste the pain of the Demonic Fire that she had suffered.
This experience lasted eight years!
At first, the infuriating energy had little effect, and Zhang Dajing could still conduct business normally. However, as time went by, the infuriating energy continued to grow, and the pain became stronger and stronger.
Zhang Dajing tried countless methods, but still could not eliminate it. Finally, he became bedridden and fell into a deep sleep for most of the day. Even when he woke up, he was tortured.
If his wife hadn't died young and his children were still young, he would have committed suicide long ago.
Until now, the oil has been exhausted.
Fortunately, Zhang Chengfeng has grown up. Although his martial arts qualifications are inherited from him, which is not enough, he is proficient in concealed weapons and can protect himself, and he has mastered his business methods, which he has always been proud of.
In a villa, if there are heirs to the family business, even if you die, you will still be able to smile.
In the past few years, Zhang Chengfeng has also used various methods to extend his life. Zhang Dajing could not bear the child's hard work to be wasted, so he endured it as much as he could. He has endured it all the way until now, and finally things are finally coming to an end.
"I will recover this debt slowly."
Zhang Chengfeng picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "Sooner or later, I will blow up the Guangdong Dome and cut that woman into pieces!"
"Ambitious."
Cao Jinxing had a drink with him and secretly wrote down the relevant information about Mingzong in case of emergency.
"Meow~"
While the two were talking, Regulus finally finished eating a lot of food, ran to Cao Jinxing's feet, jumped on his lap and curled up into a ball.
At this moment, it has returned to normal size, all the injuries on its body have been healed, it is elegant and smart, and it is really beautiful and cute.
Cao Jinxing lowered his head and said, "Have you eaten enough? If you don't have enough, ask Mr. Zhang for more. No need to be polite to him."
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Chengfeng laughed: "Yes, you don't have to be polite to me. I can't repay a big favor. Even if I eat it and lose my fortune, I will happily eat it!"
Cao Jinxing couldn't help but look at him one more time.
This Zhang Chengfeng is indeed a character.
Regulus shook his head and stood close to Cao Jinxing, grabbing his lapel.
There is still a lot of energy left in the body, which needs time to digest, so there is no need to eat again in a short period of time.
Zhang Chengfeng couldn't help but remind: "Sir, the civet Xue Liuli is born with super powers. Not only can it be of any size, but it can also be extremely fast. It can also fight wolves and tigers, and search for rare treasures. You should know the saying of a thousand-mile horse. This kind of spiritual beast is different from others."
It’s different, so pay more attention.”
If he didn't have to cut his heart to make medicine, he wouldn't kill this kind of spiritual creature.
"Don't worry, I can afford it."
Cao Jinxing glanced at the sky outside and stood up: "It's almost time. I have official duties tomorrow and I have to leave first."
"grown ups……"
"It's not necessary, my lord. I think you are quite pleasing to the eye, so just call me by your name. Let's go."
Cao Jinxing waved his hand and turned into lightning and left.
Zhang Chengfeng couldn't help but respect him when he saw his understatement.
The Zhang family was extremely wealthy, and he had repeatedly warned that he would never forget the kindness of saving his father, but he would never refuse to ask for anything, but he didn't take it to heart at all.
Fine wine, delicacies, gold, silver and jewelry are not as important to him as a story.
"Guan Chong."
"Young Master."
"Starting from tomorrow, you will personally escort the treasures of heaven and earth to Brother Cao's house every day to provide Xue Liuli with food. It is unstoppable, do you understand?"
"yes."
"If people treat me with sincerity, I will treat others with sincerity. This is the rule of my Fengyun Villa. If he gives instructions, you must take it seriously, just like you do to me."
"yes!"
…
Early the next morning.
Cao Jinxing went to the yamen and ordered Mao.
Regulus took a small leather bag in his mouth, shrunk himself and got inside. He looked at Cao Jinxing eagerly and motioned for him to take him with him.
This guy went through a big disaster and became extremely clingy. In fact, with the speed at which it recovered from its injuries, it would be difficult for Cao Jinxing to catch it even with all his strength.
"Okay, there's nothing we can do about you..."
Cao Jinxing hung the small leather bag on his waist, left the house and went to Zhenfusi Yamen.
He has an errand today, and the Yamen has already recorded it, so there is no need to draw lots again.
When they arrived at the door, the two generals, Su Yunsheng and Sun Lang, were already waiting with more than seventy captains on their horses.
"lets go."
Cao Jinxing got on his horse, reined in the horse's head and walked towards Tianxiang Pavilion.
The large army behind them followed closely on foot.
Sun Lang rode on the horse and said with a smile: "I heard that these 100 ladies were carefully selected from all over the country. I wonder if they are really qualified to live in Tianxiang Pavilion..."
Tianxiang Pavilion takes the meaning of national beauty and heavenly fragrance.
"It shouldn't be too pretty."
Su Yunsheng said: "She is said to be a lady, but in fact she is just a palace maid. To enter the palace to cultivate elixirs and collect nectar, you need to be quick with your hands and feet and have good medical knowledge. Just having a face is useless."
Cao Jinxing was not interested in their topic and asked casually: "Which father-in-law is the one from Dongchang?"
"..."
Sun Lang and Su Yunsheng secretly exchanged glances and felt relieved knowing that this boss was only focused on his job and not interested in anything else.
When you follow such a boss, at least you won't use your power to pressure others and force you to do dirty work. The two of them got what they wanted, so they responded with a lot of respect.
Su Yunsheng said: "Back to your lord, it's Eunuch Feng Baofeng who is in charge of punishing thousands of households in Dongchang."
"Who?" Cao Jinxing was stunned.
Sun Lang said strangely: "Eunuch Feng Baofeng... Sir, what are you..."
The corner of Cao Jinxing's mouth twitched slightly: "It's okay, I just feel familiar..." How can it not sound familiar? This guy is famous in history!
Su Yunsheng said: "He is Eunuch Lu's newly adopted son. Although he is young, he is very capable in doing things and is highly regarded."
"oh……"
Cao Jinxing suddenly realized something, and made up his mind to avoid it if he could. Maybe this game has some historical aura, and if he can't offend me, he can't hide from it?
Just when I thought of this, suddenly a horse rushed up the street, and the horse's hoofs made a crackling sound on the street stones. It was a eunuch, and he said in a hurry:
"Your guide is Cao Jinxing, who is stationed at Tianxiang Pavilion today, Cao Baihu?"
Cao Jinxing said: "It's me."
The eunuch quickly showed his Dongchang token and spoke quickly: "It is your destiny to punish thousands of households. Please quickly take people to the Hongfeng Slope of Xishan Mountain for support. The convoy is ambushed! There are thieves robbing the ladies!"
Everyone was shocked.
If you dare to do this in the imperial city, you are really seeking death!
Cao Jinxing sighed in his heart: "..." He had just said that he was going to hide, who would be so blind as to find trouble for me?
no way.
The first level of officialdom crushes people to death.
A military officer with a hundred households is only a sixth-grade military officer, and the chief of punishment for a thousand households is a full-grade military officer with a fifth rank.
Not to mention that Feng Bao is still the main person in charge of today's errand, and he can control both emotions and reasons.
No time to complain.
Cao Jinxing said to Su Yunsheng and Sun Lang: "The situation is urgent, I will go first, and you two will lead the team over."
"yes."
The two of them lowered their heads to answer, then raised their heads again, and immediately Cao Jinxing disappeared.
"My lord, you are so good at Qinggong..."
Sun Lang admired in his heart.
Su Yunsheng turned around and shouted: "Everyone! The rear team becomes the front team and changes its route to Xishan! Let's go!"
