Cao Gan spoke with a Jiangxi accent? If so, then Liu Wei's suspicion is very likely to be true.
Gao Pingshi pondered for a moment and asked: "So you are saying that Cao Gan might have been a subordinate of the traitor Zhang Lian?"
"I think it's very possible." Although Liu Wei was very carefree, he looked a little worried at the moment: "After all, it involves conspiracy, Mr. Gao, do you think we should inform my father about this first?"
Gao pragmatic thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "We're not busy, let's confirm first, what if it's just a false alarm? Come on, brother Zishou, let's go talk to Cao Gan again."
Liu Qing thought to himself: This young master is very courageous, but... well, no one else knows about it now, so what if I just treat myself as a guard? If it turns out that he is a remnant of rebels, I will report it to my father later.
It's not too late either.
So the two returned to the wing where Cao Gan was imprisoned. Cao Gan was very calm at this time. Although his whole body was tied up, he still looked calm and closed his eyes to rest.
"Master Cao is quite leisurely." Gao Pingshi smiled upon seeing this and said, "How about we just put on a few side dishes, boil a pot of wine, and have a good chat?"
Cao Gan slowly opened his eyes. He first glanced at Gao Pingshi, then looked at Liu Wei, and smiled: "Cao Gan doesn't care about side dishes, but if there is wine, that would be good."
Gao Pingshi laughed, turned around and went to the door, called Wei Ximin who was waiting not far away, and asked him to prepare a few dishes to go with the wine and bring over two pots of strong liquor.
Sanshenyuan, as Zhang's villa, is ready to entertain guests at any time, so this request is very easy to handle. What's more, Wei Ximin is now afraid that he will lose his job and will gradually fall out of favor in front of the new owner of Sanshenyuan, so he is trying his best
Show your ability, so you quickly said you can get it done right away.
Gao pragmatic returned to the side room and said to Liu Shou: "Brother Zishou, I will treat Mr. Cao to have a few drinks later. Could you please loosen his ties?"
Of course, both Cao Gan and Liu Wei knew why Gao Pragmatic didn't personally untie Cao Gan - he had no resistance to Cao Gan. What if he was taken hostage again? It wouldn't matter if it was Liu Wei who went there instead.
, Not to mention Cao Gan was injured, even if he was not injured or in pain, he, the head of the Cao family, would not be able to gain any benefit from Liu Wei.
Liu Wei sighed. In fact, he didn't agree with letting Cao Gan go. Although in terms of martial arts, he dared to say that he had no fear even if he faced two Cao Gan. But since Gao Pragmatic wanted to invite Cao Gan to drink later, then he would
He must be the one who plays the role of bodyguard. Although Liu Wei is proud of his martial arts skills, he feels that his martial arts skills are better than killing enemies in battle. He is really not particularly confident in being a bodyguard. At the moment, his father has something to ask for from Mr. Gao. What if he is cheated this time?
If Cao Gan hurt him in front of him, then there would be no place for his face.
But thinking back, since Gao Jingshi has come with him, and now Gao Jingshi is leading this matter, he has no choice but to cooperate - after all, Gao Jingshi dares to do this, and he also trusts Liu Wei, who is an upright person.
The young man thought he had to live up to this trust.
Liu Wei stepped forward and untied the rope from Cao Gan, but did not hide his distrust of him at all. He said coldly: "My surname is Cao, Mr. Gao has treated you with kindness. If you still have any evil thoughts,
, then don’t blame me for being rude."
Cao Gan responded with a sneer: "If you don't dare, why bother to untie them?"
Liu Wei raised his chin slightly and said proudly: "Only you are qualified to question me, I don't dare? Humph, if you are not convinced, you can heal your hand injury and then ask me to argue, I will let you
Just one hand, how about it?"
Cao Gan stared into Liu Wei's eyes, and Liu Wei stared into Cao Gan's eyes. If the eyes of these two people could kill, they would probably have been cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
Gao Pingshi laughed, waved his hand and said: "Brother Zishou, don't worry, I think Mr. Cao is a sensible person who knows how to advance and retreat, and he will not do anything unwise."
Naturally, Liu Wei would not show off to Gao Jingshi. Hearing this, he glared at Cao Gan fiercely and then retreated to Gao Jingshi.
However, Cao Gan glanced sideways at Gao Pragmatic and said with a mocking look on his face: "Since Mr. Gao said that I am sensible, know how to advance and retreat, and will not do anything unwise, why don't you dare to step forward?"
Gao Pragmatic was not a tender-faced person. He just smiled slightly and said: "That's different. I stay out of reach of Master Cao. Master Cao will naturally be wise. But if I send him to Cao Da by myself,
Wherever the leader is within reach, no matter whether you, Master Cao, are wise or not, I myself will be unwise in the first place...Hasn’t Master Cao heard that ‘a gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall’?”
Cao Gan snorted: "It's really easy for a scholar to make excuses. I'm just afraid, but it actually makes sense."
Gao Pingshi smiled and said: "Confucius said: 'A gentleman has three fears: fear of destiny, fear of adults, and fear of the words of sages. A villain does not know the destiny and is not afraid of the words of a sage.' He is in charge of the family, and I obey the sages.
But you underestimate the words of the sage. This is why although I am a child, I can travel freely across the world; although you are brave, you can only live in the mountains and wilderness."
Cao Gan said angrily: "You can travel freely all over the world because you have an uncle who is the elder of the Emperor's Pavilion. I live in the mountains just because I was framed! It's none of his business!"
Gao pragmatic raised his eyebrows and asked: "Being framed? This is strange. Aren't you, Cao Tianwang, the chief of the Bailixia horse thieves who have been running rampant in the north for many years?"
Cao Gan suddenly became alarmed: "You want to find out what I am?"
Gao pragmatic sighed: "I just saw that you have extraordinary martial arts skills and valuable courage. I don't want to just hand you over to Shuntian Mansion without asking any questions and lose your life in vain. Why are you so nervous?"
"Why should I be so nervous?" Cao Gan sneered: "Boy, don't think that only you scholars know those conspiracies. You just hope to fool me so that you can easily capture the entire Bailixia with more than a thousand people."
Everyone, do you want to give a big gift to the Emperor of the Zhu family? Do you really think I can’t guess it?”
Liu Wei, who was listening to this, felt nervous and thought to himself: Oops, this guy named Cao looks like a rough guy, but unexpectedly he has a bright mind. I'm afraid Mr. Gao won't be able to continue this business of recruiting people.
Unexpectedly, Gao Gao was pragmatic but not in a hurry. He smiled and said: "Since you know that I have an uncle who is the elder of the Emperor's Pavilion, you must also know that my third uncle always speaks in front of His Majesty. Then you
Why don't you think about it again, no matter how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack your Baili Gorge, no matter how strong your troops and horses are, if my third uncle really wants to annihilate it, isn't it just a matter of words?"
Cao Gan's beard, which looked like a mess on his face, showed no signs of movement. He stared at Gao Pragmatically with his eyes: "How are you doing?"
"I didn't plan anything." Gao pragmatically spread his hands with an innocent face: "I originally just wanted to find a way out for you, but you are so guarded against me like a thief... Mr. Cao, why don't you think about it?
, I was blocked by your Bailixia thieves on the outskirts of Beijing, beaten and kidnapped, and almost died. How could such a big thing be hidden from others? Who is my third uncle?
I, a junior, was almost killed by thieves in the capital. They are both public and private, and I am afraid they will have to take action on you, Bailixia. Otherwise, how will I be able to gain a foothold in the court in the future?"
