In the most luxurious wing of Evergreen Restaurant in Dongmingfang, Cao Huang was sitting on the main seat, with two true warriors sitting on the left and right.
The Cao family is not a martial arts family. Although they also train their own warriors, they still need to recruit some from the outside world to strengthen the Cao family's reputation and strength. Those warriors recruited must be given a certain amount of respect. The stronger the strength, the more necessary it is.
Otherwise, why would I care for your home and care for you just for some money?
The stronger the warrior, the greater his ability to make money. Why should he give up his dignity and grovel to others just for some money?
Of these two true warriors who are accompanying him as bodyguards, one is from the Cao family and the other was recruited from outside. Although Cao Huang is the young master of the Cao family, he is only a small amount of internal training. He must be a true warrior.
Give some respect.
wait!
Cao Huang continued to wait.
"Young Master, the chef is asking if the main dishes are ready. Do you want to start serving them?" The manager of the restaurant knocked on the door and asked.
"Wait a minute." Cao Huang responded coldly, with a somewhat ugly look on his face. Now that time has passed, Shenxiao has not arrived yet. Is it delayed? Or does he not want to come?
If it's a delay, it's a matter of fate, just wait. After all, the Zhenwu Division has been quite busy recently, and he knows this, but if he doesn't want to come, the meaning is different.
Time passed slowly, and another hour passed.
"Serving." There was a hint of anger in Cao Huang's voice, and the coldness in his eyes became clearer and clearer, and the cold light flickered endlessly: "It's shameless to give a toast. If you don't eat the toast, you have to drink the fine wine..."
"Young Master, if you want to deal with this person, it is recommended that you kill him with one strike and never give him any chance of survival." The true warrior of the Cao family sitting aside said in a solemn voice.
"Uncle Cai, what do you have in mind?" Cao Huang couldn't help but ask.
"It's not a high opinion." Cao Decai smiled slightly and lowered his voice: "First of all, pay attention to this person's movements. He must have been temporarily recruited here. He must be returning to Lin'an County. When the time comes, Brother Li and I will set up an ambush halfway.
After intercepting and killing, destroying the corpses and removing traces, we left Kunning County and stayed anonymous for a while, waiting for the news to pass before returning to the family."
"I have no problem." The real warrior surnamed Li immediately responded, as long as the money is in place, that's okay.
Cao Huang couldn't help but think about it and the feasibility of it.
So far, they still don't know that Cao Mingliang is dead, and they don't even know that Zhenwu Si is looking for Cao Mingliang. Zhenwu Si is not the Zhenwu Si of the Cao family.
Without Cao Mingliang, the Cao family's status in the county will be affected to a certain extent, but it has not been officially reflected yet.
…
The Xiao family of Jinhufang was also a martial arts family in the past, but due to some changes, the family's strength was seriously damaged and the martial arts master died. Now there is no martial arts master in the Xiao family, so it can no longer be called a martial arts family.
Whether there is a martial arts master from the family in charge is the dividing line between an ordinary family and a martial arts family.
Martial arts masters hired from outside to sit in charge do not count. They must be martial arts masters born in the family, otherwise the Cao family can be regarded as a martial arts family.
In fact, there are not many martial arts families in the entire Kunning County, there are only four, and the Wen family is one of them, and it is also the first of the four major martial arts families.
It is not a martial arts family, so its influence and deterrence will naturally decline. After the death of the martial arts master of the Xiao family, the family's strength was damaged, which also led to the gradual loss of many properties. This is a way to save yourself by cutting off your tail, so as not to be remembered by others with extraordinary wealth.
Money moves people's hearts.
Xiao Tianyu also didn't return for a while, so when he came back, he alarmed everyone in the Xiao family. Only then did Lin Xiao know that Xiao Tianyu was the young master of the Xiao family, with an unusual status.
"It seems that not all the family members are like Wen Jingxu and Cao Huang." Lin Xiao couldn't help but think secretly.
The reason why Lin Xiao agreed to Xiao Tianyu's visit to the Xiao family was not only to gain experience, but also to see what other aristocratic family members were like and whether they would disappoint him and beat him to death with a stick.
Xiao Tianyu brought his colleagues and friends from the Zhenwu Division to visit him. Naturally, the Xiao family wanted to entertain him warmly and were setting the table for a banquet.
"Old Xiao, I thought all the family members were as virtuous as Wen Jingxu and Cao Huang." Lin Xiao said what was in his heart.
"That's because you know too little." Xiao Tianyu retorted unceremoniously. After getting along with Lin Xiao, he found that when talking to the other party, he couldn't be too polite and had to be casual, otherwise he might be pissed to death.
"That's because you know too little about me." Lin Xiao chuckled and winked.
"Sister, let me learn more about it." A soft and charming voice came from not far away. Lin Xiao had no reaction, but Xiao Tianyu's expression suddenly changed.
A burst of elegant fragrance floated in the wind, and then a tall figure walked towards him.
It was a woman who seemed to be in her twenties. She was very tall, taller than the average man, and her legs under her robe seemed to be very long.
Another long leg!
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up slightly.
This woman's appearance is not particularly beautiful, but she is very attractive, somewhat androgynous, very temperamental, and her eyes are very bright.
"Can you speak properly?" Xiao Tianyu said angrily.
The woman glanced at Xiao Tianyu fiercely, her eyes full of warning and threats, and then she smiled sweetly and pointed at orchid-like lotus steps towards Lin Xiao: "Brother, have you ever gotten married? What do you think of my sister? Do you want to marry...
...to marry into our Xiao family?"
Xiao Tianyu's head suddenly became full of black lines. He knew that this sister would not be serious when she appeared.
"It's not okay to marry into a child. It's impossible to marry into a child in this life." Lin Xiao said righteously, and then smiled: "But sister, do you prefer a boy or a girl? How many do you plan to have?"
Xiao Tianyu immediately showed an expression of "I knew it would be like this", while Xiao Tianyu's sister was shocked.
This was the first time she met such a person. She couldn't answer for a moment, and she was still a little shy. No matter how she said it, she was still a woman who had not left the government. Suddenly she was asked about having children.
I'm inexperienced, so it's extraordinary that I didn't panic.
"My brother is indeed not an ordinary person." After a few breaths, Xiao Tianyu's sister exclaimed, suppressing the shame rising in her heart.
"Sister is also a hero among women." Lin Xiao smiled and gave a thumbs up.
"Brother, you are wrong. She is actually a lady, a delicate beauty." Xiao Tianyu's sister pretended to be coquettish, and after saying this, Xiao Tianyu suddenly looked constipated.
"Haha, all the good-looking skins are the same, but the interesting souls are only one in a million." Lin Xiao looked very calm and said something that made Xiao Tianyu's eyes shine: "As soon as I saw Sister Xiao, I knew that women are better than men.
"She has a unique charm that cannot be matched by ordinary women. She has her own outstanding charm, so why should she imitate others." Anyway, you don't need to give money to say good things, and you are not an enemy. A few words of praise will not make you lose any weight.
Xiao Tianyu was dumbfounded and stared at Lin Xiao with an unimaginable expression.
He knew that Lin Xiao would choke people sometimes when he spoke and was very thick-skinned, but he didn't know that he had this kind of ability to 'pick up girls'.
"What a good boy, you have such a bad temper." Sister Xiao Tianyu no longer pointed at orchids, twisted her waist, or pretended to be coquettish. Instead, she stepped on the railing next to her, and her fingers pricked Lin Xiao.
said.
Seeing his sister's true colors revealed, Xiao Tianyu covered his forehead with a look of despair.
Female man!
This is a female man who cannot get married.
Let me ask, who dares to marry such a woman? Aren’t you afraid that your parents will be angry to death?
"Little brother, how's your drinking capacity?" Xiao Tianyu's sister approached Lin Xiao, and there was a burst of elegant fragrance that hit her, and she asked sharply.
"Sister Xiao, I'm not bragging. I've never been afraid of anyone when it comes to getting drunk." Lin Xiao responded confidently.
"It's over, this couple..." Xiao Tianyu simply couldn't stand listening anymore, and suddenly paused: "This pair..."
The more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. They seemed to be shining as they swept over Lin Xiao and his sister. An idea gradually came to his mind.
It seems like they could make a pair.
My sister is not young, she is almost thirty. Other women at this age have already had children in their families, but Xiao Tianyu's parents are worried about their daughter's marriage.
The reason why he can't get married is because his personality is too masculine. If he has a man-in-law, even his younger brother, let alone others, can't stand it.
Now...it seems...Shenxiao seems to have a very indifferent personality...
Match up?
"It's just that the age gap is a bit big." Xiao Tianyu actually thought about it, and realized that there was at least a ten-year age difference between the two.
Then, Xiao Tianyu thought that if the two of them really got married, wouldn't he want to call each other brother-in-law?
When I thought of this, I suddenly felt a little disgusted. With things like this, it would be a shame to call him brother-in-law.
No, no, this marriage still needs to be considered.
Lin Xiao, who was chatting and laughing with Xiao Tianlan, had no idea that Xiao Tianyu was already planning a marriage on his own side.
When it was time for the dinner, Xiao Tianlan started to fight with Lin Xiao for wine after just two bites of food.
"Little brother, I will drink three bowls first as a token of respect for my sister." Xiao Tianlan poured himself a bowl first, stepped on Xiao Tianyu's chair next to him, and said very proudly, drank the whole bowl without missing a drop, and immediately drank again
Pour the second bowl and drain it immediately, then pour the third bowl and drain it in one go.
booze!
Xiao Tianyu pretended not to see anything, but his parents' faces turned dark and they wished they could beat this unfilial daughter to death with a stick.
"Sister, you are so heroic." Lin Xiao immediately poured himself a full bowl and drank it all, then the second bowl, and then the third bowl.
"Okay, I recognize you as my brother." Xiao Tianlan slapped his chest, and then slapped Lin Xiao on the shoulder. Lin Xiao suddenly fell down, as if he had gotten under the table.
Drunk!
After three bowls, especially without eating two bites of the hot dishes, not even a grain of peanut, I immediately passed out drunk.
