Yang Linqian woke up slowly and found himself lying on the bed, with candlelight in the room.
He breathed a sigh of relief first, then seemed to think of something, hurriedly reached into his arms, touched a flute, and breathed a sigh of relief.
I turned my head and saw that there was another person in the room, sitting quietly at the table, drinking tea.
On top of the silver-grey robe, a striking four-clawed flying fish leaped into the sky and roared.
Jinyiwei Qianhu!
He stood up hastily.
"Lie down."
Cao Jinxing said neither salty nor lightly.
"Thank you for saving my life, sir, cough..." He struggled to hold himself up, but his injuries were too severe. When he spoke, his heart and lungs hurt like needles: "Yang Linqian, Minggan Wufei..."
"Who hurt you?"
Cao Jinxing was not in the mood to listen to these scenes and said directly: "Where did they come from? Why? I am very lazy and don't want to cause trouble. I will explain it clearly first and then talk about the follow-up."
"yes……"
It was a matter of life and death, and Yang Linqian did not dare to hide it, so he quickly told the story intermittently.
The more Cao Jinxing heard, the more strange he became.
It’s actually related to Nirvana in Fire...
In addition to the world's top ten masters, top ten gangs, top ten geniuses and other high-profile lists, Langya List also has a "weapon catalog", which records one hundred magical weapons that have appeared in the world and have gained fame.
[Xue Po] is on the list, but it’s ranked outside the 70th place, so there’s not much to say.
In terms of level alone, it may be able to mention a few more, but the sword master Cao Jinxing only has the innate realm.
He is a figure among young people, but in the world as a whole, he is insignificant.
The ancestors of the Yang family in Huainan were originally guest officials in the Chess, Sword and Yuefu. Later, they inherited the tradition and formed their own sect. They established their family with the bamboo flute and earned the name "Nanyang".
They have a weapon, or musical instrument, with far-reaching origins, ranked 33rd in the Langya weapon catalog.
Its name is [Keting Flute].
——"Ke Ting's view uses bamboo as rafters and Yongqi as flutes, and the sound is unique."
This object was originally owned by Cai Yong, a great scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was made from Xiangfei bamboo that lasted for thousands of years. It has been passed down to this day and has a beautiful sound.
Use it to perform sound wave skills, which can easily create artistic conception and infect people's hearts, so it is ranked at the mid-level of the fifth level.
It is the source of the rise of the ancestors of the Yang family, and later became a family heirloom of the Yang family.
Now it has been passed to Yang Linqian.
The Yang family is well aware that the common man is not guilty but the one who possesses the jade is guilty. They have never made a big splash and only spread it in the Huainan area. They did not expect that [Langya Pavilion] would be shaken out this time and spread throughout the world. The results can be imagined.
Let people take aim!
"I came to the capital this time to present bamboo flutes to a few of my relatives, and to see my third brother by the way... I didn't expect that as soon as I entered Shuntian Mansion, I suddenly encountered a group of people blocking the way!"
Yang Linqian said with anger on his face: "I heard they had a northwest accent and were wearing official boots. I didn't want to pay attention to them, but they surrounded me and asked me to hand over my family heirlooms. If I didn't comply, they would fight and kill me."
I, the guard of the Yang family, also released poisonous insects and threatened to use my flesh and blood to feed the insects...if I hadn't met an adult..."
Yang Linqian was angry and clenched his fists.
Cao Jinxing was noncommittal: "Who are they?"
"have no idea."
Yang Linqian shook his head: "The three people who attacked were very skilled in martial arts and couldn't see the way out. The person who gave the order was sitting in a sedan chair and I could only tell that he was a young man."
Cao Jinxing said: "Why would he block the road in advance? Do many people know about your entry into Beijing?"
Yang Linqian shook his head: "There are only a few relatives..."
"Understood."
Cao Jinxing stood up directly: "You have no choice but to admit defeat in this matter. The people who are targeting you are quite powerful. Get the job done as soon as possible. After finishing it, go back to Huainan as soon as possible!"
After saying that, he strode out.
"We will stay at the hotel for one night, and we will go our separate ways tomorrow, so be careful."
"Thank you, sir. May I ask, sir..."
boom!
Cao Jinxing went out and the door was closed tightly.
Yang Linqian couldn't say what he said next. He understood what Cao Jinxing meant. He just met by chance and acted casually. He didn't want to get involved in both parties.
Even so, Yang Linqian was still grateful and saluted with clasped fists at the door.
"grown ups."
Outside the door, four guards in uniforms stood guard on both sides.
"He is..."
"Don't worry about it." Cao Jinxing waved his hand to stop him: "Will anyone from the northwest return to Beijing in the near future?"
Several people looked at each other.
"recent……"
Lu Jiaming thought for a while and suddenly said: "I remembered it! Ten days ago, it seemed that the Pinglu general Qiu Luan returned to the capital from inspecting the passes in the northwest. The capital was shaken, and many dignitaries came to visit. Now the general's mansion is full of people."
"Qiu Luan..."
hehe.
Cao Jinxing sneered. Anyone who has a little knowledge of Ming history will know that this person is Tong Guan of the Ming Dynasty. No, he is not even as good as Tong Guan!
Framing Zhongliang!
Bribery and collaborate with the enemy!
The fact that he was alive, alive and well, and became a general, but in the end he just died of illness, so that Jiajing, who was so mad that he wanted to kill people, could only open the coffin and kill the corpse, which shows one thing: the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, up to Jiajing
, down to the officials, everyone is blind!
But now is the world of high-level martial arts games, and we cannot take it lightly. What if it is also a dungeon BOSS?
He occupies a high position and is in the spotlight. Even a pig can take flight, let alone such a big person.
It's better to be careful.
Cao Jinxing thought for a moment: "Forget it, there's no need to go into details. It would be better if they were officials. They don't dare to be presumptuous. Be careful tonight and don't take off your Feiyu uniform."
"yes."
The four of them realized that the man inside was probably related to the Northwest Frontier Army.
General Qiu Luan probably wouldn't do such a thing, but his subordinates might not.
After the Gengxu Incident, General Qiu Luan gained the emperor's trust by virtue of his great merits of "diligently rescuing the emperor". His authority in the court has become increasingly stronger, and he can even compete with the elder Yan Ge. It is inevitable that his subordinates will be arrogant.
With the protection of the general, even if this person is really wronged, it will definitely be difficult to seek justice...
The four of them sighed.
Don't tell me that this matter has nothing to do with you, even if it does, if you try to anger Qiu Luan and file a lawsuit, I'm afraid it will end in nothing.
"You guys go back to sleep."
Cao Jinxing said: "I'll sit in the lobby for a meeting."
Gu Yanzhu said: "I will accompany you, sir..."
"Need not."
Cao Jinxing said: "It would be easier if you are an official. Don't worry. It's just in case. You go back."
Ordinary people can't control it either.
The four of them understood and resigned reluctantly.
When Cao Jinxing returned to the lobby, there was already a postman waiting aside, serving the food and wine prepared in advance: "Your Excellency, please use it with ease."
"I'm determined."
Cao Jinxing took out a few pieces of broken silver and handed them to him: "I don't need to wait on you. Please step aside."
"I'll take my leave, villain."
After the postman left, Cao Jinxing was the only one left in the lobby, leisurely drinking.
After being promoted to the fifth level of Xiantian, his range of perception was even further, and he could vaguely feel a few lines of sight scanning from time to time in the darkness.
After a while, he whispered to himself in a low voice: "It's been so long and it hasn't been found yet? I'm a little disappointed..."
The words just fell.
Exaggerated laughter came from the darkness: "Oh my, I didn't expect to see the famous Lord Cao, the thirteenth Taibao of Jin Yiwei, in this small place!"
Cao Jinxing's mouth twitched.
This artificial tone almost made him spit out the food he just ate.
He frowned and looked over, and saw a young man in his thirties walking out of the darkness, with a smile on his face, and said: "I am the commander of the Lanzhou Guard, Hou Rong. I am really overjoyed to meet Mr. Cao today!"
The commander of Qianshi is a military attaché of the fourth rank.
The way he looked in front of Cao Jinxing was already a bit demeaning.
As the saying goes, being courteous for nothing is either a traitor or a thief. This guy's "price dropped" as soon as we met, obviously he wanted something.
However, Cao Jinxing was too lazy to make excuses with him and said: "The person Mr. Hou wants to kill is in the guest room. I didn't know it beforehand and disturbed you. I feel very sorry... Don't worry, I will not stop you if you start now!"
He said it with certainty.
"..."
Hou Rong's smiling face froze instantly.
All of a sudden.
Hou Rong didn't even hear whether it was a sarcasm or a sincere statement.
Because he had just read the information and said that Cao Jinxing did not play by common sense and was always straightforward, but he did not expect him to reach this level!
This is simply short-sighted!
"you……"
Hou Rong suddenly forgot what he should say.
"Sir, is there anything else? If nothing else, I'll leave first."
Cao Jinxing stood up and left.
This time, his face was cold and undisguised, and Hou Rong could tell that this Cao Jinxing didn't want to have anything to do with him at all!
He is Qiu Luan's confidant. Now that the general's reputation is growing, which official in the capital is rushing to make friends with him? But Cao Jinxing is now the thirteenth Taibao, he really dares to look down on him!
Trouble.
"etc!"
Hou Rong suppressed his smile, and a stern look flashed across his eyes, which soon turned into a sincere expression. He bowed solemnly and said, "I have something to ask of you, and I hope Mr. Cao... can make it convenient for you."
