Cao Yunfei was dressed in black, and his serious expression looked cold and ruthless, but when he saw Zhao Wuyou, he still smiled.
It's just that laughing is uglier than crying.
Although he didn't know why he came, Zhao Wuyou knew that his master would not come if he had nothing to do.
"coming?"
"Um,"
"When you come, just rest here for a while. Why don't I play here with you?"
The latter smiled bitterly, looked at the radiant Zhao Wuyou, and said:
"Zhao Wuyou, His Majesty the Emperor of the Fengming Empire has attached great importance to you recently and has secretly ordered someone to kill you. Moreover, I am not the only one who knows this.
There are even several waves of people who want to use the power of Jianghu to kill you."
As he said that, he took out a fatwa, which held a reward. If he could kill Zhao Wuyou, he could get one million taels of silver.
Judging from Cao Yunfei's posture, he must have just received the fatwa.
"It seems that His Majesty the Emperor still thinks highly of me. He can be so generous and take millions of taels from me, and in turn want someone to kill me.
This old thing is really creative."
Zhao Wuyou sneered, but he felt even more resentful towards the emperor in his heart.
Cao Yunfei smiled and said nothing more, but explained to him:
"Be careful these days and don't lose your life. By the way, take good care of my daughter and don't let anything happen to her."
"Aren't you making things difficult for me? Lavender is in her own sect now. I want to protect her, but there is nothing I can do.
When I went to see her before, I heard that she and Princess Feng Yuxue were selected as inner disciples, and now they are practicing every day. I can't help at all."
The latter didn't care about this, and said angrily:
"Then I don't care about this. You said that you are so powerful now, don't you think of ways to make my daughter live a better life in her sect? You can't just think about having a better life for yourself now."
Then, he added:
"Now that the barbarian people are ready to move, you should make preparations in advance. If the situation is more critical, I think you can take Lavender to your side for protection.
I'm not completely under control yet, and the only person I can trust now is you. If you don't help me, who can help me?"
When he said this, Zhao Wuyou felt that he couldn't shirk it now, so he had no choice but to nod and agree:
"I have arranged someone in the Xunyi Sect, but I just don't know if anyone within them wants to harm Xunyi.
When I am decisive, I will think of a way and bribe them so that those people can help Xunyi and take care of her, so that you, the father, will not have to worry about her anymore."
After settling his daughter, Cao Yunfei finally felt relieved. He looked at Zhao Wuyou again and said with some sadness:
"I heard that Wei Long asked you to cooperate before, but you rejected him and he died miserably in the end?"
He knew these things, and Zhao Wuyou couldn't help but lament that he, as a teacher, was so well-connected that he even knew such secretive things.
Now that he has confirmed it, Zhao Wuyou has no need to hide:
"Yes, this Wei Long is a bit unrealistic. He didn't realize how terrible the emperor's mission was. Instead, he was deceived by the great elder, and was killed by the emperor with one move.
Thinking about it now, he may have been too naive, and ended up becoming a pile of dregs under the emperor."
As a junior brother, Cao Yunfei could only lament who his senior brother was. He naturally knew that the two of them also grew up in the same store.
Although he knew that Wei Long was an ambitious but not very capable person, but now that he heard that he died so miserably, he couldn't help but sigh:
"In today's troubled times, it is not easy to live well. My senior brother is too simple. When someone makes a promise, he will believe it and underestimate the strength of his opponent.
Now that his family has been implicated, I really don’t know whether he is smart or stupid.”
After sighing, Cao Yunfei left quickly. He couldn't leave for too long now, otherwise, the territory he controlled would be affected.
"Now that Cao Yunfei can receive such a reward order, other big forces will definitely receive it as well.
Zhao Wuyou felt relieved, left the mountain, walked to his secret cave, and walked all the way from the dark river to Mulu's boat.
At this moment, Mulu was not busy with anything else, but was concentrating on reading.
He came to the cabin, looked at Mulu and said:
"Do you know if some sects are offering a reward for my life now?"
Mu Lu shook his head. He really didn't know that what he was doing was already a serious business, and it was done secretly according to Zhao Wuyou's instructions. It did not belong to any political power. Naturally, he didn't know about the reward offered by others.
"Hey, many people should know about this matter by now. Someone has already offered a reward of one million taels for my life."
When he heard Zhao Wuyou say this, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. There were not many people in the world who could offer one million taels. Since he dared to offer this amount of money, he would definitely want to kill Zhao Wuyou.
"Sir, if you do this, I will pay two million taels, and in turn, I will offer a reward to the person who wants your life."
However, Mu Lu's suggestion was ruthlessly rejected by Zhao Wuyou. The risk was too great and it would also lead to exposure.
Although he has been offered a bounty by the emperor, he has not yet taken action on his behalf, and he cannot expose his strength prematurely.
After thinking for a while, he turned his head and looked at Mu Lu, and then said questioningly:
"Didn't you send someone to assassinate the leader of the Cao Gang? Did you gain anything?"
Mu Lu shook his head, looked at Zhao Wuyou with some dejection, and said disappointedly:
"I don't think assassinating him will have any effect. After all, his whereabouts are mysterious, he has no contact with other people at all, he comes and goes without a trace, and he can't be found at all.
Moreover, even if I found someone and asked him to assassinate him, in the end I still didn’t see the leader of the Cao Gang, so I didn’t see him. I think he might be in danger.”
Zhao Wuyou nodded secretly. He also knew that it was difficult to assassinate the leader of the Cao Gang. Otherwise, would he still be alive today?
But then he smiled lightly and said to Mu Lu:
"You can now take advantage of this opportunity to directly assassinate the leader of the Cao Gang, but not with our people, but with other people's hands to help you get rid of him."
"How is this possible?" Mu Lu frowned and couldn't believe it.
"You spend money and create evidence at the same time, saying that the leader of the Cao Gang made a fortune, fished out countless rare treasures from the sea, and now sells them everywhere.
Tell it truthfully and make everyone believe it. Then point the finger at people within the Cao Gang."
Zhao Wuyou made up his mind to let the Cao Clan stir up chaos and attract others' attention, so that he could be safer and at the same time neutralize the forces that wanted to assassinate him.
