Cao Dan returned to his mansion after the court meeting with Dou Jiande and drank with a guest from afar:

"Come, come, come! Master Xu, have a drink! ”

"Good! Lord Cao, please! "The one who drank with Cao Dan was Xu Jingzong, who came all the way from Chang'an. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Xu Jingzong secretly passed through Jingzhou from Chang'an through the business channels of the Heng family to the Heng family's accountkeeper Mr. came to Leshou, and then met Cao Dan under the arrangement of the Heng family, and then went in and out of Cao Dan's mansion many times in the name of gifts. Anyway, Cao Dan is a person who likes to accept bribes, and he is the son-in-law of the Heng family, the Heng family can do such a big business in Qilu, and it is inseparable from Cao Dan's support and support behind him, so every time Xu Jingzong comes, everyone thinks that the Heng family is doing a deal with Cao Dan, so it is not strange, but what I don't know is that Cao Dan is doing something unsightly with Li Tang.

"Ahh Unexpectedly, when I met Mr. Xu that day, Mr. Xu was still a close staff member of the official, but now when I see Mr., I didn't expect that Mr. Xu has become Lord Xu. It's really unseemly, and the sea is incomprehensible! Cao Dan recalled the scene when he saw Xu Jingzong that day, when Cao Dan was drinking in the house, and his favorite concubine Heng Fangxin came over:

"Your Excellency!"

"Yo! It's Fang Xin! Come and sit! Cao Dan saw Fangxin and lovingly helped Fangxin to his side. Stroking Heng Fangxin's belly. Heng Fangxin has been pregnant for three months, so she is naturally more favored by Cao Dan, Cao Dan put herself on Heng Fangxin's belly and listened to the movement in Heng Fangxin's belly:

"Our son knows I'm lying on your stomach and showing me my fist!" Heng Fangxin smiled and said to Cao Dan:

"My lord, it's only been three months, and I've just shown my pregnancy, how do you know if it's a man or a woman?"

"Ugh! Don't talk nonsense, it must be a son, Fang Xin! You must take care of your health these days! I don't want my son to have a three-year-old one. You know, I, Cao Dan, are the only woman who is pregnant now, and I don't have a son yet, so it's not like waiting until the labor and management die, and such a big family property is given to others. Heng Fangxin agreed:

"Yes! My lord! The concubine obeys! Heng Fangxin agreed to this Cao Dan again, and said coquettishly to Cao Dan:

"My lord! Heng Guangyuan, the elder brother of the slave family, came back from Jingzhou, and he also brought back some Jingzhou native products for you! ”

"Oh! Is it? All right! Lord Ben immediately changed his clothes, and immediately went to Hengfu to talk to your brother, Brother Guangyuan has been gone for so long, Lord Ben really misses him, just to catch up with the past. "Cao Dan is catching up with Heng Guangyuan! Every time I hear that Heng Guangyuan comes back, what souvenirs he wants to send, I know that Heng Guangyuan will send wealth and treasure with him again.

"Oops! Brother-in-law, I've come back from Jingzhou again, what good things did you send to the official this time? ”

"Lord Cao! I haven't seen you for a long time, and Xu Jingzong has saluted your lord. As soon as Cao Dan saw Xu Jingzong, he shouted in surprise:

"It's you! Good thing you bastard! Since Xu Jingzong left, Cao Dan felt that he was played by Xu Jingzong, and he was very angry, but now after seeing Xu Jingzong again, he was going to draw his sword and stab Xu Jingzong, but Kan Ling next to Xu Jingzong made a move to catch the white blade empty-handed, and brushed Cao Dan's hand holding the sword, after Cao Dan was in pain, the sword fell to the ground, and Kan Ling directly held Cao Dan's sword in his hand:

"What a good sword! It's a pity that it's scrapped. Kan Ling aimed at the blade of the sword, secretly lucked his luck, and slashed his hand at the back of the sword, and the sword suddenly became two pieces.

"Ahh Cao Dan was dumbfounded. Xu Jingzong patted Kan Leng's shoulder and said:

"What a good kung fu!"

"Thank you father-in-law for the compliment!" Li Jiancheng was afraid that Xu Jingzong would be in danger in Leshou, so he specially transferred Kan Ling back from Jingzhou and asked Kan Ling to accompany Xu Jingzong to Leshou.

"Lord Cao is frightened, the dog is just a mountain village man, he doesn't know the etiquette of officialdom, come here! Bring up the gift that the official gave to Lord Cao! "In a short time, four men dressed as servants brought up two boxes, and judging from the struggling appearance of the four servants, the weight was not light!

"Don't open the box yet! Master Cao may be a little unable to wait. The servant agreed: when he opened the box, the whole room turned golden.

"Lord Cao! Here is the golden Wu Qian, which is a gift from my father-in-law, Li Jiancheng, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, to Lord Cao, and now it is just right to crush Lord Cao! Looking at the yellow, orange and orange cuties in the box, Cao Dan's heart slowly quieted down:

"Ahh This...... How embarrassing is that? Lord Xu, you and I are old acquaintances, why are you so polite! How can he be so loved by His Royal Highness Prince Li Jiancheng! Xu Jingzong said slowly:

"Lord Cao is the top strategist under King Dou, and he is also a powerful relative of King Dou, these are just a little meaning. In addition, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants Lord Cao to do us a favor! ”

"What a rush! Ah! It's all your own people, so what's the polite way to do? Xu Jingzong looked at Cao Dan's ugliness towards gold, and secretly despised it in his heart - what a shameless miser. Sooner or later, Great Xia will die at the hands of people like you. Xu Jingzong desperately concealed the contempt in his heart.

"Lord Cao! Our Tang Dynasty wants to deal with Liu Wuzhou in Mayi, but we are afraid of the might of the troops under King Dou, so I hope that Lord Cao can say something for us in front of King Dou, and when the time comes, don't interfere when I enter the army and Mayi. ”

"Oh! There is no problem with this, so rest assured. That Liu Wuzhou offended the Turkic Lili Khan and An Yi Kedun, and he also heard about it in Leshou. Hum! This Liu Wuzhou and that Song Jingang are really arrogant, they didn't go to the posts personally ordered by Lili Khan and An Yi Kedun, but just sent a partial general to go, no one can swallow this mouthful! Know what to do under it. Under Cao Dan's plan, Dou Jiande used the technique of cutting tofu with a knife, and did not openly refuse Liu Wuzhou's request for help, but in the name of collusion between Luo Yi and Li Tang in Youzhou, he entered Youzhou. After everything was arranged, didn't Cao Dan come to Xu Jingzong to celebrate!

"Lord Xu, come and drink!"

"Ahh Lord Cao, please! ”

"Hmmm! Lord Xu, I have done you a great favor this time, and I have to ...... this reward" Cao Dan didn't say a few words, and asked Xu Jingzong for a bribe. Xu Jingzong has long been accustomed to Cao Dan's way of behaving in the world, and he has long been unexpected.

"Lord Cao is really fast-talking! This is easy to say, I have already written a letter and sent a letter to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made it clear that His Royal Highness the Prince has written down the great achievements of Lord Cao, and there will be gold from Wu Qian and the two of them at that time, and it will be sent to your house on the same day. As soon as he heard that there was Wu Qian, Cao Dan's face showed a red light released because of excitement.

"Then thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his generosity!" After Cao Dan drank another glass of wine, he seemed to be a little overwhelmed. He asked Xu Jingzong in a hurry:

"Lord Xu! Next...... There is a ...... Is there a sentence I don't know when to say? ”

"Hmmm! If you have something to say, please say it directly! ”

"Lord Xu! This...... According to this official ...... What is known to the Officer...... This...... The ...... of this secluded state Luo Yi in Youzhou, isn't Luo Yi already ...... Have you already taken refuge in you Li Tang? Why do you Li Tang ...... You Li Tang still have to deal with ...... Luo Yi ...... to Youzhou Luo Yi does it!? When Xu Jingzong heard Cao Dan's question, he suddenly felt a little impressed with Cao Dan in his heart - it seems that this Cao Dan is not a straw bag except for being greedy for bribes and greedy for money! When Li Jiancheng explained the task to Xu Jingzong, he was also shocked, and Li Jiancheng saw the doubts in Xu Jingzong's heart:

"Jing Zongqing! How? Surprised, isn't it? Want to know why? Xu Jingzong naturally wouldn't be stupid to ask:

"His Royal Highness the Prince! He doesn't want to know, and he doesn't want to know! His Royal Highness the Prince, if there is nothing else to do, the ministers will go and take care of the affairs of the ministers. Li Jiancheng nodded praisefully, Xu Jingzong had been thinking about Li Jiancheng's arrangement and actions for Luo Yi in Youzhou on the way to Le Shou, and suddenly, the lightning in his brain came up with lightning - Luo Yi's father-in-law Xue Shixiong occupied Youzhou for many years, forming a large gate valve power, after Xue Shixiong's death, Luo Yi took over Youzhou as Xue Shixiong's son-in-law, and now the entire Youzhou has become an independent kingdom of Luo Yi and the Xue family, and the entire Youzhou only knows that there are Luo Yi and the Xue family, and I don't know that there are others, and, Although there are not many soldiers and horses under Luo Yi, they are all from the Ghost Gate Pass out of the division of a hundred battles, in the battle with the Turks and Dou Jiande, Li Mi do not stand at a disadvantage, in addition, according to reliable information - Luo Yi has always had a special force in his hands, called Youyun Eighteen Cavalry, all of which are composed of wrestler veterans in the Yunzhou area of Youzhou, Luo Yi organized a caravan to smuggle in the Turks in order to solve the livelihood of Youzhou, who knew that some Turkic nobles did not pay attention to faith and sent troops to rob Luo Yi's caravan, Luo Yi was furious, Seventeen famous wrestler veterans in Yunzhou, Youzhou, plus himself, a total of eighteen horsemen, all equipped with the best famous horses in the Western Regions, wearing black windbreakers and demon masks, killed the tribes who robbed the Youzhou caravan together, overnight, the entire Turkic tribe that robbed the Youzhou caravan tens of thousands of people, regardless of men, women and children, were all killed by the eighteen horsemen, and after the eighteen horses left, the stench emitted by the corpse spread for dozens of miles, and the other Turkic tribes smelled the stench from the corpse and arrived there, It was found that the entire camp had its heads decapitated, including newborn babies, and the smell of corpses came with herds of hungry wolves and eagles devouring the corpses. It was disgusting! From then on, the Turks no longer dared to invade Youzhou. It's just that for the attack of Dou Jiande and Li Mi, Luo Yi did not use the Youyun Eighteen Cavalry. I probably think they are all from the Central Plains! Now, Luo Yi took the opportunity to meet Li Tang and sent Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, who were not convinced internally, to Guanzhong, Xue Wanjun was convinced, but Xue Wanche was not convinced, and weakened Luo Yi's soldiers and horses to Dou Jiande again, on the one hand, it can hit Luo Yi, and on the other hand, it can eliminate Xue Wanche's arrogance.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is a plan to kill people with a knife! What a plan! Xu Jingzong suddenly felt that he was talking a little too much, and was about to make amends, but saw that Cao Dan was already snoring like thunder.

"Humph! Go to sleep! The less you know, the safer! ”
