Cao Jinxing sat on Yinghuo's back and read a book, Shi Shi curled up between his legs, facing the strong wind, and dispersed on his own.
"There is no withering technique..."
Cao Jinxing rummaged through the secret book of forbidden arts left by Emperor E, but did not find [Wither]. It is estimated that this technique was lost during the Western Han Dynasty. Dongfang Shuo may have found the practice method from outside the inheritance by chance...
However, except for Kuluo, many other curse seals and forbidden arts are all excellent inheritances, and the Five Elements Secret Techniques are all included.
[Yin Yang Aiki Hand], [Thousands of Leaves Flying Flowers], [Emperor and Queen Earth], [White Dew and Frost]...
"This thing should be quite useful to Lu Yi. Let's give him a try tomorrow."
Cao Jinxing smiled, put away the books, lowered his head and looked down. He had already crossed the vast sea and arrived at the boundary of the capital city. He could vaguely see the outline of the Forbidden City. After not seeing each other for a month, Cao Jinxing missed everyone in Beizhen Fusi.
"I'm home...I have an old father-in-law..."
Thinking of the ghost market Huang Huaijiang, Cao Jinxing felt helpless. It was estimated that the incident in the East China Sea had been reported, and he was not sure how to be angry.
In addition, Huang Fanling, who is in retreat in Yaowang Valley, also needs to be comforted. Maybe she doesn't know it yet, but her master Wan Mi Zhai definitely knows it. Cao Jinxing feels a little tired when he thinks of these things, so let's do it step by step...
In the blink of an eye, Yinghuo entered Beijing and was over Fusi, Beizhen.
"Hold on tight."
Cao Jinxing put the plump fourteen back into his waist bag, and then jumped off!
boom!
It fell to the ground like a meteor from a height of dozens of feet, hitting the Zhuhong gate of Zhenfu Division. In an instant, the clothes hem fluttered and dust flew up.
The captain on duty was shocked. Just as he was about to draw his sword, he saw Cao Jinxing's distinguished silver-gray Feiyu uniform, as well as the signature embroidered spring knife and Tiandao sword of the Thirteen Taibao. He hurriedly saluted: "Sir!"
Everyone else reacted upon seeing him, bent down and said respectfully: "Sir! You are back."
Everyone looked at him carefully, with awe and admiration on their faces.
This was a famous ruthless man who killed three major Dharma elephants in Taizhou and prevented 30,000 Japanese pirates from attacking the city. He was the general banner of Zhenfusi. Hundreds of households had long been aware of his deeds and admired him endlessly.
From sacrificing his life for his country before to recovering from his injuries in the East China Sea, no death is more terrifying than casualties!
Those are three top Dharma elephants. After killing them all, they can still recover as before. What kind of combat power this must be...
If we want to say that the person with the best reputation in Zhenfu Division in the world right now is neither Liu Zhenyuan, the first eunuch, nor He Qianqiu, the second eunuch. These two are stronger if they are strong, but they have more of a bad reputation. Only Cao Jinxing, the 13th eunuch, because
He was highly praised for his righteous deeds in Taizhou, which were truly great achievements for the country and great virtues for the people. There are very few "court eagle dogs" who can achieve his level for the military and the people!
"No need to be polite."
Cao Jinxing waved his hand and ordered everyone to get up and walk straight in: "Is the eldest brother in the meeting hall?"
"exist."
A member of the household said: "In the past half month, the governor has been staying in the Yamen."
"oh?"
Cao Jinxing raised his eyebrows and thought that the situation seemed a bit serious...
"Thirteen!"
Just a few steps after entering the Zhenfu Division, the fifth eunuch Han Xinting, the seventh eunuch Zhu Jingzhong and the twelfth eunuch Shen Xiang all walked out quickly.
The three of them were excited when they saw him: "You kid, you are finally back!"
Lao Wu laughed and hit Cao Jinxing on the chest. Lao Qi, who was serious in speech and expression, showed a sincere smile. Twelve stepped forward to hug him and patted him on the back. They were almost separated by life and death, and the three brothers all felt as if they were separated from each other.
Cao Jinxing felt warm in his heart, clasping his fists and smiling: "Fifth brother, seventh brother, twelfth brother. I'm back."
"Hahaha, treat!"
"We must treat you!"
"You've been on tenterhooks for a month, but you have to compensate us well!"
Cao Jinxing laughed along with him, "Isn't it just a treat? Drink the damn thing!"
The three of them dragged him quickly into the meeting hall. Liu Zhenyuan, the chief eunuch, also got off the table and waited for him with his hands behind his hands.
As both Dharma images, Cao Jinxing did not hide his true energy during this journey, and Liu Zhenyuan had discovered it a long time ago.
Cao Jinxing looked at the smile on his eldest brother's face. He was a very affectionate man and had taken good care of him from the beginning to now. He probably had a lot of worries this month. He directly clasped his fists with his hands and bowed deeply: "Brother!"
"It'll be nice to come back."
Liu Zhenyuan looked pleased and patted Cao Jinxing on the shoulder.
He looked at Cao Jinxing as if he were looking at the saplings that he cultivated with his own hands, and finally grew into towering trees, with lush branches and leaves, and a canopy like an umbrella!
It was a kind of pride and joy like an old father.
This kid has finally grown to where he is today, and soon he will no longer be his opponent...
"Sit down quickly. There is quite a commotion in the East China Sea. Let's talk about it in detail."
Everyone sat down and waited with interest for Cao Jinxing to speak.
Cao Jinxing said: "Then the Li family in Kaifeng..."
Liu Zhenyuan said: "Business matters don't matter. I have my second son and they are keeping an eye on me. You just came back, so don't worry."
As soon as Cao Jinxing heard this, he knew that he was still under control, so he didn't care. He went through all the situations after recovering from his injuries. In addition to the incident of meeting An Qisheng, he even talked about asking Liu Zhenyuan to propose marriage.
The brothers laughed loudly and said one after another: "The blessings are not shallow, the blessings are not shallow, you are thirteen, we are worried in the town, but you are still thinking about love, it is too much!"
"That's right! This can't be solved in one meal."
"..."
Cao Jinxing had no choice but to say quickly: "Please, please, you must, the best restaurant in the capital, you will not come home until you are drunk!"
"That's pretty much it." Lao Wu and the others were satisfied.
Liu Zhenyuan said: "Remember to write down the details about the Inquisition, and I will ask for credit for you. This matter needs to be reported to the Ministry of War as soon as possible, so as to coordinate with subordinates. Luzon Island is the throat of the sea. Now that the Japanese pirates have been eliminated in the southeastern sea, it is the imperial court's responsibility. At the time of developing coastal trade, Luzon Island's current strength has been greatly reduced. If we can seize it at one fell swoop, we will have an income of at least tens of millions of taels every year."
"clear."
Cao Jinxing nodded and said: "I will write it out tonight and ask my eldest brother to submit it on my behalf."
"No need, after midnight tomorrow, you come with me to Xiyuan to meet the driver."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Zhenyuan smiled and said: "The Holy One has known that you are fine, and has long promised to wait for you to come back to meet the Holy One in person. You have performed meritorious services one after another, and you are already qualified."
"good."
Cao Jinxing is not pretentious either.
"in addition……"
Liu Zhenyuan continued: "The reward for your meritorious service in uncovering the southeastern moth last time is still waiting for you..."
Cao Jinxing said: "Dayan Pansi Cave? It seems like there is a chance for self-enlightenment."
"yes."
Liu Zhenyuan said: "This cave is one of the three most precious treasures in the entire Forbidden City. It was founded by Dao Yan, the prime minister in black. He took the meaning of Dayan numbers and integrated them with the wisdom of sages of all ages. He integrated Yin and Yang and the Five Elements into arithmetic.
, constructed into the Dayan Pansi Cave, used to perform the laws of heaven. This is a treasure place to increase understanding and break through the realm. The Holy Lord arranged this, and the original intention was to help you to break through the realm. I didn’t expect that you would have another chance.
…”
"In this case……"
Cao Jinxing thought for a while and said: "Let's save this opportunity for now. I just broke through the border and can't use it for the time being. When the time is right, I can ask for permission to go in. I'll ask my eldest brother to help explain to Eunuch Lu... I'll make the most of everything."
Use it so that you can live up to the great love of the Holy One."
——Although I don’t need it, since the leader is so considerate, we should regard it as a generous reward and be grateful.
——Anyway, it’s just a matter of talking nonsense.
"Um."
Liu Zhenyuan nodded. This was what he felt most at ease about Cao Jinxing. He never relied on favors and was arrogant, and he had his own way of talking and doing things.
"You just came back today. You're tired from the journey. You should go back and rest first. We can wait until tomorrow to see the saint for business matters."
"good."
That night.
Cao Jinxing went to the famous "Tianxiaju" building in Beijing to have a drink with several brothers in Beijing, including Liu Zhenyuan after class.
We haven't seen each other for more than a month, and everyone was very happy. At the table, we only talked about recent strange things, and there was no official business involved. Cao Jinxing was specially asked to relax.
Liu Zhenyuan also made it clear that there was absolutely no problem in proposing a marriage! Whether it was from Gui Shi or Donghai, even if a few more came, he would take it, which made Cao Jinxing blush and everyone laughed.
After finishing the meal, we returned to our small courtyard in Mingshifang. Lu Jiaming and Yiyi were already waiting.
"grown ups!"
Yiyi was the young man who had the arm of the alien beast [Water Monkey] transplanted and escaped from the Wild Ghost Village to report the news. He was now wearing an official uniform of Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi, following Lu Jiaming, and bowing respectfully to Cao Jin.
At first glance, Cao Jinxing didn’t recognize him.
"good."
Cao Jinxing looked up and down and said with a smile: "It's a blessing after all the hard work."
Yiyi hurriedly said: "It's all thanks to your mercy and the kindness of reconstruction. Yiyi has nothing to repay! Jiren have their own destiny, so I know you will be fine!"
"Don't mention it any more, I'll keep the good words..."
Cao Jinxing turned to look at Lu Jiaming and nodded: "Innate seventh level, there is progress. Do you want to see me?"
"..."
Lu Jiaming looked at Cao Jinxing with a strange expression. He opened his mouth to speak several times but then closed it, as if he didn't know how to speak.
"What's wrong?"
Cao Jinxing asked strangely: "We haven't seen each other for more than a month, how come we are separated?"
"It's not a birth score."
Lu Jiaming's expression became even weirder: "I'm just hesitating whether I should call you 'adult' or 'cousin-in-law'..."
Cao Jinxing: "..."
Lu Jiaming saw that he couldn't laugh or cry, but he laughed instead.
Cao Jinxing said: "Has there been a letter from your cousin?"
Looking at his expression, Lu Jiaming breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief and said, "I didn't before. Recently, my condition has stabilized, and letters have begun to arrive one after another. Some are sent to Uncle Guishi, and some are for you.
I came here to deliver a message to you..."
As he spoke, he took out a thick stack of letters from his cross-body backpack and handed it to Cao Jinxing.
"..."
Cao Jinxing felt a little guilty when he looked at those letters.
Regardless of whether it was early or late to settle down with Qin Xuanji, it would be a kind of harm to Huang Fanling. He reached out to take it, then took out [Bi Fang] from the Qiankun bag and said: "Come in, wait for me to write
After you finish replying to the letter, send it to Yaowang Valley for me, and by the way, send this item to Fang Ling."
"This is……"
Lu Jiaming looked at the mechanism bird [Bifang] with a look of shock on his face. There was such a smart mechanism creation...
"This is Yan Jia, given to her for protection."
Cao Jinxing opened the door and led the two of them into the small courtyard. At the door of the main room was a bag of fresh natural materials and treasures.
Regulus immediately jumped out of his waist bag and went to look through the package. When he saw that it was filled with his favorite spiritual plants, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Chengfeng is determined..."
Cao Jinxing carried the package into the house. Lu Jiaming and Yiyi sat at the table. Cao Jinxing began to read the letter, which expressed his longing for him.
Cultivation is hard and lonely, but Huang Fanling doesn't find it difficult at all.
As long as she thinks about being able to marry Cao Jinxing after recovering from her injury, she is filled with happiness.
You can read between the lines of these letters, which are full of longing for the future.
The more Cao Jinxing read, the more uncomfortable he felt. The more he read, the more guilty he became. He wanted to make amends, so he began to pick out gifts from the Qiankun bag. After reading the last letter, Bi Fang and Bi Fang had already sent four or five gifts. All of them were treasures.
!
Including "The True Interpretation of the Yin Yang Family's Alchemy", [Bacchus Stone], [Lingxu Sword], [Pure Yang Golden Pill], the main material of the fourth grade natural material and earthly treasure [Dionysus] and so on...
Lu Jiaming was dumbfounded.
He couldn't recognize the names of these treasures, but after all, his family was in business, so just by looking at their appearance, he knew they were all rare and rare treasures!
The priceless kind.
"It seems that the rumors are true... My cousin-in-law is really ashamed, and he is also really rich..."
While Lu Jiaming breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt more assured about Cao Jinxing's character.
A man who has three wives and four concubines is just a couple of lovers. Is this what it is?
My cousin is really discerning, and my uncle can rest assured. Where can I find such a son-in-law...
Cao Jinxing wrote a reply. The letter contained his experiences and comfort during this period. After writing it, he handed it to Lu Jiaming along with the treasure and asked him to take it to the ghost market.
"There is no need to escort me specially. Just take the cryolite and seal it so as not to attract attention. No one should dare to rob my things yet."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes."
Cao Jinxing continued to write memorials.
Lu Jiaming and Yiyi stopped interrupting and stood up to leave.
After the two of them walked out of the small courtyard, Lu Jiaming pushed Yiyi away and came to a restaurant outside Mingshifang, where Huang Huaijiang was drinking.
"uncle."
Lu Jiaming walked over.
"How did he say?"
Huang Huaijiang raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. There was information about Donghai next to his hand, not only the Huang family, but also the Qin family on Wuliu Island.
"My cousin-in-law is so guilty. Look at these things, he wants to give them to my cousin!"
Lu Jiaming carefully opened the pocket and exposed the gap for Huang Huaijiang to see.
Huang Huaijiang has been running the ghost market for many years and is well-informed. He can see the value of these things at a glance, and his expression softens slightly:
"So, the thing about Qin Xuanji is true..."
"Well……"
Lu Jiaming started pretending to be deaf.
"snort!"
Huang Huaijiang rolled his eyes at him.
Lu Jiaming had to speak. He coughed and whispered: "Uncle, that woman... my cousin should know about it, and... to put it bluntly, it's really not certain who my cousin-in-law will fall in love with first..."
boom!
Huang Huaijiang slapped the table, and the whole restaurant was shaken.
Lu Jiaming shrank his neck and boldly said: "Uncle, don't get me wrong. What I mean is that my cousin-in-law doesn't like the new and hates the old, but... love is difficult to control... You should also know that they met before they fell in love.
We have gone through adversities together at the bottom of the West Lake! In addition, in the battle of Taizhou, that Qin... was so helpful. If it weren't for her, even if her cousin-in-law was rescued alive, he would have been assassinated by people from the Demon Cult and the Opera House! Then
It is inevitable for a woman to take advantage of him when he is weak and weak-willed..."
"..."
Huang Huaijiang said angrily: "Who are you from? Is it still reasonable to fall in love with someone else?!"
Lu Jiaming saw that he was losing his temper and hurriedly smiled and said: "My cousin-in-law has nothing to say to my cousin. There will be many ways to tie him up later, but now my cousin's injury is the most important thing. I don't know if she knows, but if she knows, she can
We need to send these things over quickly to stabilize her, so as not to get sad and delay her recovery..."
Speaking of this, Huang Huaijiang immediately stopped being angry and glanced at those things: "I'll go there myself."
"That's fine."
Lu Jiaming handed the letter and the things to him and said, "This will make it faster. The things are too precious! If someone with jealousy takes action, even if you are too scared to steal it due to the reputation of your cousin-in-law, it will still be troublesome if there is an entanglement. Come and take action."
, absolutely no one dares to touch it! It can not only appease my cousin but also deliver it as soon as possible, which is most suitable!"
Huang Huaijiang nodded: "Finally, I said something humane."
Lu Jiaming: "..."
…
The next day.
Cao Jinxing had a peaceful sleep, and went to the Zhenfu Division early in the morning with the memorial he had written, and waited with Liu Zhenyuan to enter Xiyuan to meet the saint.
This was the first time Cao Jinxing entered Xiyuan and the first time he met Jiajing.
Cao Jinxing was actually not very enthusiastic about meeting the emperor. Although to others it was "the emperor's grace", he was very impatient at the thought of kneeling.
There is no other way. We live in a feudal society and if we don't want to usurp power and rebel, we have to endure it.
The two of them arrived at the Xiyuan Cabinet for check-in, and Lu Fu, the chief internal officer, came to meet him in person.
Cao Jinxing finally met this well-known internal manager. He was kinder than he expected, with a loving smile on his face. He was not at all feminine like a eunuch, but had the demeanor of a master that could only be seen by a top master.
Cao Jinxing's "Yin Yuan Jue" came from him. He had a good impression of him and treated him seriously.
"stand up."
Lu Fu helped him up and said warmly: "You have made great achievements many times, and now you are a Dharma Xiang. It is different from the past. There is no need to be cautious... This is the first time for our family to see Dharma Xiang who is twenty years old. We will do our best in the future."
, the Holy One will not treat you badly."
"yes."
Cao Jinxing clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much, Eunuch Lu, for the suggestion."
"Let's go, the Holy One is waiting for you."
Lu Fu led the way first, Liu Zhenyuan followed, Cao Jinxing was half a body behind his elder brother, and the group entered the Jinshen Jingshe in Yuxi Palace.
Jiajing was sitting on the Bagua table, reading the memorial written by Cao Jinxing, with a smile on his face and a good mood.
Liu Zhenyuan and Cao Jinxing saluted together.
"Plain body."
Jiajing signaled the two of them to stand up, and said to Cao Jinxing: "Laozi said: 'Misfortune lies where blessings depend; misfortune lies where misfortune lies.' Old Thirteen, you have been safe and sound on this trip, and you have succeeded in being twenty years old."
I am very relieved to understand this principle of breaking the Dharma image..."
Cao Jinxing bent down and clasped his fists, waiting for Jiajing to finish what he said next.
Jiajing continued: "...In addition, during his training period, he severely injured Cardinal Franchi of the Inquisition, which was a great achievement. When Qi Jiguang checked the situation in Luzon, it was verified that it was correct, and he also killed the Japanese party last time and guarded the city.
I will give you the reward together."
Cao Jinxing bowed and said, "I thank your Majesty for the reward."
"Neither humble nor arrogant, very good."
Jiajing became more and more satisfied with Cao Jinxing. He raised the memorial in his hand and said: "It says that you encountered An Qisheng at the bottom of the East China Sea and were given [Zhongshan Li]. In this way, you can break the Dharma image, and you have to use the remaining
Would you like to offer your plums to me?"
"Back to the Holy One, that's right."
Cao Jinxing took out two [Zhongshan Plums]: "This is..."
"No need."
Jiajing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since it was given to you by the old god, you can keep it alive, so I won't want to steal things from you... I didn't expect that An Qisheng is still alive. Lu Fu, to this day,
How old should he be?"
Lu Fu said: "When I return to the Holy Land, I should be 1,800 years old."
"Eighteen hundred years old..."
Jiajing looked up at the top of his head, full of yearning. Unfortunately, God failed to fulfill his wishes, and he could not find what he was looking for.
"That's all, let nature take its course."
Jiajing stopped thinking about it, put down Cao Jinxing's memorial, and picked up another one: "Thirteen."
Cao Jinxing: "I'm here."
Jiajing said: "You have just returned from injury. I didn't want to send you on errands, but the boss wants to take charge of the affairs of the Zhenfu Division. If there is a situation with the second brother, only you can take care of it... Lu Fu, you can handle it..."
Talk to him about this."
Jiajing handed over the memorial, and Lu Fu took it, said yes, and turned to Cao Jinxing: "You should know about the destruction of the Li family in Kaifeng."
Cao Jinxing: "Yes."
Lu Fu: "Do you know the specific reason?"
Cao Jinxing: "I don't know yet, my eldest brother didn't say anything."
Lu Fu: "He doesn't know either. Even Dongchang has just received the secret order... The bloodline of the Li family in Kaifeng has a long history. If we hadn't checked carefully, we wouldn't have believed that they were descendants of Li You during the Qin and Han Dynasties.
, and Li You is the son of Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty! The reason why they were exterminated was because the murderer was looking for a divine object..."
Cao Jinxing and Liu Zhenyuan both pricked up their ears.
Lu Fu's face was serious and he said word by word: "... [King of Qin's Bone Mirror]!"
