Chapter 5 Life with one leg is not easy
In terms of the capital, Cao Jixiang couldn't sit still. After Shi Heng fell, Cao Jixiang felt a little bit of crisis. Now, after hearing some news, he was even more frightened.
Cao Jixiang has an adopted son named Cao Qin. He is not much worse than Gao Huai himself. He is a young age, which is about ten years older. Speaking of which, it is suitable for him as an adopted son. However, Gao Huai is now Cao Jixiang, and his body is old and his mind is mature, so Cao Qin seems to be too young.
Cao Jixiang's brows have never been stretched these days, and they can't eat well and sleep well. They have a very toothache. When they opened their mouths, they saw that their gums were swollen. Seeing his father like this, Cao Qin hurriedly asked. Cao Jixiang sighed and said, "Son, I'll ask you, why do you tell me why the three-legged tripod has three legs? Can you still stand if one leg falls?"
Cao Qin looked at his father in confusion, and after a long time he said, "If the distribution is very orthodox, then he can't stand. If it is not arranged properly, it may be possible to stand. Wouldn't a person only have two legs?"
Cao Jixiang nodded and said, "It's just such irregular legs. If only one leg is left, can you still stand?"
"It must not be." Cao Qin said,
"Hey, yes, when the lower part of the tripod is Lu Yunzhi, and the lower three legs are Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng and I. I suspect that Lu Yunzhi used the three of us from the beginning and used the tiny power in our hands as his stepping stone. Now he doesn't need it anymore, so it's time to remove these legs. When the world is stable, Lu Yunzhi got rid of Xu Youzhen. I guess he wanted to get rid of me and Shi Heng and I. However, he never expected that Zhen Lingdan was in trouble in the two lakes and could not catch fire in the backyard. So Shi Heng and I later came. Shi Heng was too arrogant and did too much. He killed himself. It was Zhu Qizhen's move. But let's imagine that if Lu Yunzhi had nostalgia to protect Shi Heng, even if Zhu Qizhen wanted to come, he wouldn't dare to take action." Cao Jixiang said,
Cao Qin looked admiring and didn't respond. He didn't know if he really understood or pretended. Cao Jixiang looked at him and continued, "Father is the third leg. Originally, the three of us had different forces and restrained each other. Although they were generally high and low, their positions were different, which created a balance. At the same time, it also led to a situation where we still stood firm even after Xu Youzhen's death. Shi Heng, a fool, had to kill him. As a result, his leg became too long, which made the tripod feel very uncomfortable. So he was cut off by someone's unhappy look. The tripod body did not say anything to save him. Now only my legs were left. Although Lu Yunzhi's tripod body had an old relationship with me, it was hard to whistle the lonely palm and the lonely wood could not support it. One leg could never hold back the huge tripod body. What kind of way could you keep the balance of the tripod?"
Gao Huai is a personal talent, and his adopted son will not be too stupid. Cao Qin came over and said, "Only by cutting off your father, you can also use the cauldron to put the ground in the belly of the cauldron to ensure the stability of the cauldron."
Cao Jixiang nodded and said, "Yes, I'm so frightened for my father. I took Xu Youzhen before the war and dealt with Shi Heng in the middle. Now that the war is over, it's my turn. I heard that Qu Xiangtian was killed by Lu Yunzhi after he was defeated in the past few days. Even Lu Yunzhi's sister-in-law Murong Yunfei was sentenced to death. Lu Yunzhi is probably already a king and cannot judge what he does with a worldly loyalty. I'm afraid he will not be careless about his old love. When he takes action, we will die without a chance to shout. Killing weeds is a means that every king overlord loves to use. Killing weeds or not will cause great trouble."
"What should I do? Father, let's run away if I don't have it." Cao Qin said, and Cao Jixiang shook his head: "Now the world is stable, and the sky and earth are where we live. Even if we escape overseas, no one dares to take us in. I wonder if you have heard of it. Now the people of the Western Regions know that they cannot offend the Ming Dynasty. They will definitely hand over the people they want to arrest in the Ming Dynasty. Isn't that the ruler of Yilizhai, Boyan Bell, is this the case? They all fled through the desert to the extreme west. Still,
Being chased by Zhen Lingdan and the others, this would be a scare of the people of the Xifan. If we don’t run away, we can have a way out. Maybe we will be under house arrest for life. If we run away, we will not be caught and killed. Even if we escape through numerous blockades, we may be slaughtered off our heads and given them to the Ming Dynasty. That is the real tragedy. In the end, we will have to be put on the charge of escaping from foreign countries for fear of crimes, and become a slander who has been criticized by the world for thousands of years. Oh, I’m so sad.”
"Or, let's go against it. Since we can't escape, we can only go against it." Cao Qin said. Cao Jixiang's face darkened and stood up, made a silence, listened for a long time, then poked out half of his body from the room and kept looking around. When he returned to the room, his face returned to a little calm, but it was still a little pale.
Cao Jixiang sat there, glanced at Cao Qin who was at a loss, then picked up the cup and drank the tea in the cup. His hands were shaking, making the tea set jingle. After a while, he said with a sigh of relief: "I dare not say this. Do you know that just what you said just now, our family will be enough to be killed."
"It's my father." Although Cao Qin said this, he didn't care. He curled his lips and said, "But my father is too cautious. We are not in the palace or outside, but in our own home. What's more, there are no people around us, but we are father and son. We shouldn't report each other."
Cao Jixiang sighed and said, "My son, do you know about Miscellaneous Thirteen?"
"What Thirteen, Secret Thirteen, what is it? Is it a food for food or a sacrificial product?" Cao Qin was puzzled. He always felt that his father was a little strange today, and he was very concerned about what he said, "
"Mian Thirteen is the same as the East Factory of the Jinyiwei, but he is Lu Yunzhi's secret killing tool. This organization is more terrifying than the Jinyiwei, and it is extremely secret. I don't know much. I can only tell you about it. This organization is different from the Jinyiwei who receives salary, wears flying fish clothes, and wears Tang swords. They belong to a hidden force. There are secrets in the army, secrets in the business world, and secrets in the court and political arena. These people are in charge of their respective positions, not professional intelligence personnel.
