Chapter 179 Cao Bin, the vengeful uncle, the greedy uncle
The foot of Black Wolf Mountain.
In the rear convoy.
Cao Bin smiled and said to the girls: "How's it going? Isn't my cavalry powerful?"
The girls had just gotten used to it, but Sai Xishi was still in shock and said with a pale face:
"It turns out that the real battlefield is so tragic..."
She has always had the simplest moral values, being righteous and patriotic, but when she thought about Cao Bin going to the battlefield in the future, she became entangled.
After a long while, he said: "Cao Lang, will you just be a civil servant from now on?"
Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to explain, Lu Zhishen, who was protecting everyone on the outside, couldn't help but said:
"When I was an officer in the Western Army, I never saw such a fierce cavalry."
"If such cavalry cannot defeat Khitan Xixia, wouldn't it be a waste!"
When Sai Xishi heard this, he glanced sideways at him, not wanting to talk to him.
Cao Bin rolled his eyes and said:
"It's none of your business here. Just stand your ground. If you keep interrupting randomly, I'll let you practice with me in a sedan chair!"
Lu Zhishen shrank his neck and immediately did not dare to say anything.
At this moment, the three heroes of the Ding family came over with Yan Chasan and others and said:
"Uncle Zhongjing, Lord Yanchasan wants to see you!"
Bai Yutang looked depressed at this time. He originally wanted to capture Lan Xiao and make a great contribution to Cao Bin's victory.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he chased him up the mountain, he was shot back with a barrage of arrows from the man in black who suddenly appeared.
Judging from the style of the repeating crossbow, he was clearly one of Cao Bin's men.
Yan Chasan came to Cao Bin and was about to speak when he caught sight of Sai Xishi and his expression suddenly became complicated.
Seeing him like this, Sai Xishi quickly got into the car.
Cao Bin coughed and said, "Yan Cha San, why are you here?"
Only then did Yan Chasan look away and said seriously:
"May I ask Uncle Zhongjing, during your trip, were you ordered to investigate the rebellion of King Xiangyang?"
Cao Bin glanced at him with disgust and said, "No comment."
Yan Chasan choked and held back his anger:
"I'm afraid Uncle Zhongjing doesn't know that the robbers who attacked you this time are disguised as King Xiangyang's men."
Seeing his posture, Cao Bin's eyes moved and he said with a smile:
"Master Yan kindly reminds me that Mr. Cao would like to thank you here. I am planning to go deep into the Prince of Xiangyang's Mansion to investigate carefully."
"I have a 'bitter meat plan' here that requires Mr. Yan to cooperate."
Yan Chasan was about to ask a question when Cao Bin waved his hand and said:
"Come here, Yan Chasan and others knew about it but did not report it, which led to my being ambushed. I will beat him with forty military sticks to make a warning to others."
Upon hearing this, Wu Song and others stepped forward without saying a word, twisted their arms and pushed Yan Chasan and others away.
Before Yan Chasan understood what was going on, he felt a heartbreaking pain coming from his buttocks, which made him take a breath.
Bai Yutang shouted: "Cao Bin, Bai is a fourth-grade sword-carrying guard, not your subordinate. You have no right to punish me!"
Jiang Ping smiled bitterly and said:
"This is none of my business! Hiss... Oh my god, it hurts me to death!"
Seeing Bai Yutang scolding him angrily, Jiang Ping couldn't help but mocked:
"Bai Laowu, didn't you say you were willing to sacrifice for something big? You are the one who is least qualified to scold me now!"
Bai Yutang was speechless for a moment, and said with resentment: "Shouldn't it be the people in the room who get beaten when we use the bitter meat trick? Why do you want to beat us?"
After a while, Wu Songhui reported: "Tell Uncle, Yan Chasan has fainted."
Cao Bin nodded and said:
"I think he's just faking it. I've been beaten for more than sixty times... wake him up and beat him until he's forty."
The three heroes of the Ding family looked at each other in confusion. Boss Ding swallowed his saliva, looked at his third sister and said:
"Are the government's actions so strict? Should you reconsider your marriage to Zhan Daxia?"
At this time, Shi Qian escorted Lan Xiao forward and reported: "Uncle, the bandit leader has been captured!"
Seeing that the sedan chair was still leading people to chase down the stragglers, Cao Bin waved his hand and said: "No need to chase, let's keep going."
Xiangyang.
Known as the thoroughfare of seven provinces and a battleground for military strategists, it straddles the Han River and is a strategic location for controlling the nine counties of Jingxiang.
The next day, shortly after the sun rose, a group of Xiangyang City officials waited outside the city.
But until noon, there was no sign of Cao Bin and his party.
The long history of the Prince of Xiangyang's Mansion is already full of dark clues. Yesterday, he had already made such a mess, and the Prince of Xiangyang came back defeated. What's happening again today?
So he directly ordered the servant behind him:
"Go and explore and see where Cao Bin has been!"
The guard came back more than half an hour later to report:
"My lords, Cao Zhizhou is currently resting in Lijiaqiao Village for a while and wants you to go there to meet him!"
As he said that, he hesitated again and said carefully:
"Perhaps you adults should bring some gifts. According to his personal followers, Cao Zhizhou seems a little unhappy!"
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
He started asking for bribes before he even entered the city? What kind of charter does this Uncle Cao have?
Never heard of such a thing?
The Palace Chief Historian looked slightly angry, but he forced himself to endure it, then thought for a moment and said:
"That's all, let's go prepare gifts..."
When Xiangzhou Tongpan and others saw this, they had to surrender and went to prepare gifts in a hurry.
At this time, Cao Bin was indeed stationed at Lijiaqiao, not far from Xiangyang City.
It's not that he doesn't want to enter Xiangyang, but he is thinking about his own life.
Although the King of Xiangyang is unlikely to take action directly, there is no guarantee that he will not suddenly lose his mind and rebel at the first thought!
Now most of the officials in the nine counties of Jingxiang are controlled by the King of Xiangyang.
If he really rebelled, Cao Bin in Xiangyang City would be the first to suffer misfortune.
So safety must come first and caution come first.
At this moment, Master Xia Yuqi limped in and said pitifully:
"Uncle, you are finally here. If you don't come, I will tell you that you are in Xiangyang."
Cao Bin glanced at him sideways, picked up the tea bowl, took a sip and said:
"You are living very comfortably in the brothel these days!"
Xia Laodao quickly called Qu Dao:
"It's unfair, uncle. This is not an incompetence."
"It wouldn't be a big deal if there were only hidden weapons in Sky Tower."
"But there are a lot of thugs ambushing you inside."
As he spoke, he smiled and said:
"Isn't the old man looking for a safe place to recuperate? To avoid being caught by the King of Xiangyang's thugs and causing trouble to my uncle."
"As soon as uncle arrives in Xiangyang, won't I come to see you?"
Cao Bin was too lazy to pay attention to him and said casually:
"I hope you won't lose your grip next time, otherwise I will cut off your thing..."
Xia Laodao felt a chill in his crotch, and he quickly vowed to do so.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sedan came in and reported:
"Master, the officials from Xiangzhou have arrived. This is their gift list."
Cao Bin took it over and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Let them come in."
Since he had the emperor's personal endorsement, he said he was no longer afraid of impeachment.
Not long after, a group of officials came in and were about to bow before them. Cao Bin suddenly asked:
"Captain Qiu, when you enter the door, which foot does it take first?"
The man didn't know why, so he instinctively said: "Reporting to Lord Zhizhou, it seems to be the left foot!"
