Lu Jiaming had obviously been prepared and was very aware of the changes in all parties. Cao Jinxing heard the end and roughly understood.
Except for some trivial matters, the main changes in the situation in the capital were Qiu Luan's departure from the capital, the Yan family's return to favor, Yan Shaoting's early lifting of the ban, and the unrest in the north that triggered the construction of additional city walls outside the capital, and the construction of the Great Wall in Xuanfu and Datong.
"The Ministry of Industry has one task after another. As Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Yan Shifan's voice will inevitably increase. Those strict party members will raise their tails again..."
Cao Jinxing didn't take it seriously.
Today is different from the past. When he was escorting the Fire Turtle, he had just ascended to the innate realm, and only then did he have the courage to surround and kill the twelve zodiac signs in Xilinglou.
Now, even if the top assassins from the four major industries attack together, they still can't defeat him.
Mingzong's lesson had just happened, and Yan Shifan would not fight him head-on...
Of course, his stupid son is an exception, but he alone shouldn't be able to mobilize top combat power.
Last time in the Fangla Underground Palace, the three top killers in Danxing, Da Qingyi, Hua Dan, and Daoma Dan, had arrogant attitudes. Even their immediate superiors didn't care. They probably weren't controlled by Yan Shifan because of poison.
With only real money, natural resources, and treasures, Yan Shaoting, a playboy, still has no ability to make them obedient. The summary is...
There is nothing to be afraid of.
Cao Jinxing took a sip of wine.
The other four people also felt relieved when they saw that Cao Jinxing was calm and composed from beginning to end.
Your Excellency is now deeply favored by the Emperor and is very popular. Yan Shifan is a smart man and he will not slap the Emperor in the face. Yan Shaoting is not capable of slapping the Emperor in the face, so there is really nothing to worry about.
"Report."
A jailer on duty walked in quickly and bowed: "The people from Hongzunfang in the ghost market outside the gate have sent us wine and food on Master Lu's orders. Please come to the prison."
The food and wine Lu Jiaming ordered have arrived.
Cao Jinxing raised his hand: "Come in."
"yes."
The jailer went out to bring the people in.
Lu Jiaming smiled and said: "We are finally here. Sir, how about we make a bet?"
Cao Jinxing raised his eyebrows and said: "What are you betting on?"
Lu Jiaming said: "Let's bet on what kind of food they bring... Let's talk about it first. I just asked them to prepare a banquet. I didn't say a word else."
Cao Jinxing's expression changed, he glanced at him and uttered two words: "Troublesome."
Lu Jiaming smiled awkwardly, thinking that he had guessed it because of his quick reaction.
The other three were confused.
Gu Yanzhu said strangely: "You didn't specify how you know what they are giving away. I guess it is their signature dish. I remember that the signature dishes of Hongzunfang in the ghost market are roast duck, boiled mutton, and braised shark's fin..."
"No, no."
Lu Jiaming looked incomprehensible and said: "I guess it's half-winged chicken, fresh crucian carp soaked in vinegar, dragon beard, coal-footed sparrow, eight-treasure soup..."
Others quickly heard it.
Sun Lang and Su Yunsheng looked at each other, these are what adults like to eat...
It's strange. Lu Jiaming said he didn't say a word, so he shouldn't be unable to afford it. How did the people in Hongzunfang know how to give these?
Gu Yanzhu was the first to realize that they had been with Cao Jinxing for some time and had a general understanding of his situation.
The Huang family now dominates the ghost market, especially after the adults used the "Eight Desolate Punishing Sword Palm" to show off their power in Hangzhou and defeated a group of martial arts masters. Many people knew that this palm technique was derived from the "Luoying Divine Sword Palm"
", is the proud work of Huang Huaijiang, the head of the Huang family in the ghost market.
Huang Huaijiang became famous from this!
The forces in the ghost market that originally conspired to oust the Huang family immediately turned into cowards, as honest as a dog. They just had to kneel down and beg for forgiveness from Huang Huaijiang.
It’s just that Huang Huaijiang is great, he also has a good daughter. Not only is she a master of medical immortals, she is ninth on the Langya Beauty List, but more importantly... she has a "very close relationship" with Cao Jinxing.
How deep it goes is unknown.
Anyway, if something happens to the Huang family, Cao Jinxing won’t just watch. If that’s the case, then there’s no point in plotting!
Gu Yanzhu and the others knew more about these inside stories. Miss Huang Fanling was very passionate about the adults. They all knew that it was Lu Jiaming who had revealed the adults' preferences to her before. Hongzunfang was originally the store of the Huang family, and today they heard that he
I asked for a banquet. I guessed that the adults were returning to Beijing to catch up with the wind and wash away the dust. Then, the rest of the matter would be a matter of course...
Soon, their suspicions were confirmed.
Because the person who delivered the food was not the waiter from Hongzunfang, but the Huang family’s housekeeper and Qingyulou shopkeeper, Xie An.
"grown ups."
Xie An led two servants, carried two large food boxes into the underground floor, and saluted and greeted them.
Cao Jinxing rolled his eyes at Lu Jiaming.
Lu Jiaming lowered his head and pretended not to know anything.
Cao Jinxing's voice slowed down and he said, "Thank you, shopkeeper, for making a trip in person."
Xie An smiled and said, "Sir, you are polite, as you should be."
He stretched out his hand to open the food box, and it turned out that it was all Cao Jinxing's favorite food, and underneath there were five small jars of fine wine that had been stored for many years.
Xie An stretched out his hand to signal the two servants to prepare the dishes. Soon the smell of rice filled the first floor of the prison, and the greedy prisoners swallowed their saliva without daring to make a sound.
"grown ups."
When the food was put on the table, Xie An said softly: "The young lady made an appointment with you before. In order to repay the favor of saving her life, she promised that every time the elixir is released, half of the elixir will be taken out. Tonight, a batch of the Heavenly King's elixir will be released.
Sir, please move to Qingyu Tower."
Cao Jinxing thought for a moment, then remembered that Huang Fanngling had indeed said this, and said: "No, the Heavenly King Pill is expensive to make and is inherently precious. I will buy it at the market price. Tell Miss Huang that I will get it tonight."
"yes."
Xie An visibly breathed a sigh of relief. The order he received was to invite people to attend the meeting. As for how to settle the accounts, it was the eldest lady who made the final decision. He said, "Your Majesty, please use it with caution. Xie An excuses himself."
"Walk slowly."
Xie An leaves.
Lu Jiaming hurriedly greeted: "Eat, eat, eat! Don't let it get cold!" After saying that, he first served Cao Jinxing a bowl of rice and handed it over with a shy smile.
Cao Jinxing reluctantly accepted it. Now that the matter was over, he didn't bother to argue with him.
Lu Jiaming was relieved. The other three smiled and began to change cups to serve Cao Jinxing. They ate the meal for nearly half an hour.
After the meal, Cao Jinxing went down to the third floor with wine, met and chatted with Xu Quan, the prison guard on the third floor, and then returned home.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I haven’t been home for more than half a month, but the courtyard is still neat and tidy.
When he returned, there were two servants from Fengyun Villa cleaning outside the courtyard.
Cao Jinxing opened the door and entered the hospital.
Regulus jumped out of his pocket and ran happily in the courtyard. Although he had good food and good accommodation outside, it was only here that he felt most at ease.
It was here that it waited until Cao Jinxing ended its escape and ushered in a new life.
Here, its meaning is different.
There was a new pack of sixth-grade spiritual grass placed in front of the main door. Cao Jinxing picked it up and gave it to Shi Shi as a snack before entering the back room.
"Let's go to the ghost market to eat tonight. I just got three thousand taels of silver, so I have to have a good meal to celebrate, what do you think?"
"Meow meow~"
"Okay then, it's settled."
Cao Jinxing sat on a chair, took out the Feng Yang Formation Disk, and studied its efficacy.
Regulus was lying next to him, curled up into a ball, his head resting on Cao Jinxing's thigh, his eyes closed to rest.
"Feng Yang Formation..."
Cao Jinxing touched the array plate and silently recalled the relevant information.
After he obtained the Tianfu Formation, he once asked Wang Yingyang to help the scribes in the Governor's Mansion Office collect relevant information about the Eight Formations, and he memorized all the information.
The Eight Formation Diagram of the Divine Weapon uses the four realms of Qian, Kun, Xun, and Gen as the main formation of heaven and earth, as the main soldiers.
The northwest part is the dry land, and the dry part is the sky formation.
To the southwest is the land of Kun, and Kun is the formation of the earth.
The land in the southeast is Xunju, and Xun is Fengzhen.
The land in the northeast is Genju, and Gen is the mountain, and the mountains and rivers are cloud formations.
He also used water, fire, metal and wood as the four strange formations of dragon, tiger, bird and snake to serve as a surprise weapon.
On the left is a blue dragon, on the right is a white tiger, in the front is a red bird, and in the back is a soaring snake.
Among them, Feng Yang Formation is located in the southeast, coinciding with the Snake Pan Formation represented by Teng She in the "back position".
——"The wind has no formal shape. It attaches to the sky and changes into a snake. Its meaning gradually becomes mysterious. The wind can stir up things and surround them. The snakes can surround them and the three armies are afraid."
The Eight Formations Diagram begins with Zhuge Wuhou going against the will of nature and changing his destiny to resist the Cao Wei army. The various methods are unpredictable!
"The wind attribute is used as the main attack method among the eight formations, and its power is relatively low. It should be the same as the snake and pan formation. It is mainly used to assist in strengthening perception..."
Cao Jinxing tried to use the wind attribute energy in his body to inject it into the formation disk, and he immediately felt the difference.
Previously, he used the cold toad's true energy to activate the Heavenly Subduing Formation, but the formation disk gave people a lifeless feeling.
On the one hand, it is related to his fate of "Heavenly Disgust", on the other hand, it should also be due to the incompatibility of attributes.
At this moment, the wind energy is used to activate the wind array, and the array trembles slightly, as if cheering for joy. The internal wind energy turns into tangible and invisible "wind snakes" and spreads outward, forming a field.
Within a radius of three hundred meters, everything appears!
Cao Jinxing has understood "Yu Bing Jue" and has reached the state of "harmony between man and nature", and can control the water vapor in nature within a certain range.
This distance continues to grow as his cultivation level increases, and currently it has reached about 150 meters.
For him, it is very simple to draw inferences from one example and figure out how to control other attributes.
At this time, with the help of the formation disk, the range doubled to an astonishing three hundred meters! Within three hundred meters, he could get wind and rain if he wanted!
Cao Jinxing closed his eyes and realized it carefully. This feeling of being the only one in this field made him addicted.
"Um"
Suddenly, someone broke into the field.
"Wind Snake" brought back his message and asked him to construct a holographic projection in his mind. He was of medium height, thin, innate, and smelled like gunpowder...
He stopped at the door.
Cao Jinxing also "saw" who he was.
"Chengfeng, come in."
Zhang Chengfeng, who was outside the door, received a report from his servant that Cao Jinxing had returned to Beijing. He hurried over, but before he could knock on the door, he heard a voice coming from inside.
"Brother Cao's martial arts skills are getting better and better. No wonder he can kill that bitch Ayishamu!"
Zhang Chengfeng pushed the door open and entered.
Cao Jinxing put away the Feng Yang Formation and said: "What's wrong with coming here in such a hurry?"
Zhang Chengfeng handed over a banknote.
Cao Jinxing glanced at it and saw that the amount was very large, no more, no less, ten thousand taels of silver!
Cao Jinxing raised his eyebrows: "What are you..."
Zhang Chengfeng said: "Eldest brother first saved my father, and now he helped me kill Ayi Xiamu to avenge me. I can't repay this great kindness. This small amount of money is disrespectful. Please accept it!"
He held the banknote in his hand and bowed it to the end, as if Cao Jinxing would not be able to afford it unless he took it.
Only then did Cao Jinxing understand. He said that I was shocked and thought something big had happened.
"No need."
Cao Jinxing said: "I killed Jiang Luxia in Hangzhou, stole the Holy Fire Order and the Great Shift of the Universe, and let Mingzong target me. Ayi Xiamu led people to kill me, and I killed me. This is all between her and me.
It has nothing to do with you. You can’t spend it like this even if you have money.”
Zhang Chengfeng could not move, but had only one muscle, and Cao Jinxing had to accept it.
Ayixiamu kept his father half-dead for eight years. If it weren't for his lack of strength, he would have blown up that nest of monsters and monsters in Guangmingding this morning!
No matter who helps him fulfill his wish, he will give away this banknote.
He was willing to give it to Cao Jinxing.
Cao Jinxing saw that he was stubborn and couldn't do it without taking it, so he had to say: "Okay, change it to a smaller one. If you can earn it, just take it. I won't do it again."
Zhang Chengfeng was very happy and hurriedly reached into his arms, took out a stack of banknotes, and looked for something smaller than ten thousand taels.
Cao Jinxing's eyes twitched when he saw it, this brat is here to show off his wealth! The banknotes in his hand are either 8,000 or 5,000, no one is lower!
"Don't choose. Just take the three thousand one. It's the same as the reward given to me by the court. It's enough."
Cao Jinxing had a good eye and picked out one that was barely acceptable, but Zhang Chengfeng was not satisfied. Cao Jinxing didn't bother to bargain with him and took the banknote directly into his hand: "This matter is over now. No one should mention it again in the future."
.How is Master Zhang’s injury doing now?”
Zhang Chengfeng felt quite regretful and replied after hearing this: "You can go to the fields now. You asked me to invite you to the village for a gathering a few days ago."
"Give it a while and take good care of yourself."
Cao Jinxing said: "I will go into Feihu Pond to retreat for half a month in the next few days. I don't know what will happen when I come out. The situation in the north is getting more and more serious. When I finish this busy period, I just have something to ask Master Zhang for help."
"oh"
Zhang Chengfeng's eyes lit up and he quickly said: "What's the matter, big brother, just tell me! Chengfeng is obligated!"
"It's not a big deal."
Cao Jinxing thought for a while and said: "Zhang Zhuang is a talented person who is proficient in many languages. I have suffered a loss in this and would like to ask him for advice."
Zhang Chengfeng looked strange and said: "That's it."
"What if?"
Cao Jinxing smiled and said: "I am not boasting. With my current strength, most of the things that can trouble me cannot be solved by money."
"That's true."
Zhang Chengfeng suddenly understood, and immediately patted his chest and said: "Leave it to me! I can do everything my father can do, and I can also do what he can't do! No matter whether it's Tatar, Persia, Japan, Southeast Asian countries, or even Europe and France.
I have learned Chinese language, and I will teach you!"
"You can't tell." Cao Jinxing was a little surprised: "You actually know so many languages."
"Some do it for business, and some do it blindly to study firearms and gunpowder."
Zhang Chengfeng smiled shyly and said: "The Europas' gunpowder technology is very good. They have a unique approach. The French artillery is very powerful and has inspired our artillery. I have been studying it. Not long ago, I just cooperated with the God Ax Gate to design
A very powerful cannon has been produced, named 'Red Lotus General'. Once it is put into the foundry, I will invite you to see the power. I believe it will surprise you!"
