Domineering

Chapter 15 Cao Xuan
The lights in the narrow and cramped blue brick house swayed.

Qianhu Cao Xuan sat in front of an old square table with a teacup cut from a bamboo tube.

The teacup was obviously crudely made, with burrs even remaining on it, and the tea was brewed with mugwort leaves.

Cao Xuan's expression was very comfortable, as if he was holding the top-quality tea in his hand.

While sipping tea, he said, "Thank you, Mr. Cao, for the hijacking of the library by the Blood Wind Pirates today. If the situation at that time continues to be stalemate, both the Zhengyang Martial Arts Center and our Jinyiwei will lose face."

"Master Qianhu speaks seriously."

Chu Xi laughed lightly, and her words were impeccable: "The mere blood wind bandit is nothing more than scabies to Mr. Qianhu, and it can be suppressed with a single palm. What's more, there is someone else who actually killed the magician. The grassroots are just thugs, and they really can't afford to be thanked by adults."

Cao Xuan obviously didn't take it seriously. He had heard Chu Xisheng's words before noon.

But at that time, his subordinates searched inside and outside the library, but they couldn't find the woman Chu Xisheng said was surnamed Lu.

The reason why this son said this is nothing more than two reasons, one is fear of revenge from the Blood Wind Thief, and the other——

"Brother is very angry." He smiled and took out a pill bottle, a heavy silver ingot, a gleaming vest, and two bronze waist cards from his sleeve, and put them on Chu Xisheng's chest. in front of you.

"Cao is not a person who broke his promise and became fat, but the previous occasion was a bit inappropriate. This is the reward Cao promised to my brother. You have to wait two more days for your hereditary documents to report your body and official status. At that time, someone will pay you." You send it."

Only then did Chu Xisheng raise his eyebrows, slightly moved.

The pill bottle is exactly the same as the one he got before, if nothing else, there should be five Peiyuan pills inside.

The gleaming golden vest is a golden inner armor woven with high-grade silk and copper wire, which is not ordinary at first glance.

The key lies in the two bronze waist cards.

Chu Xisheng picked up the badge and looked it over carefully.

This thing is slightly heavy in the hand, and it can be seen that the materials are full.

On the top is carved a totem of a mythical beast Bi An, and on the bottom is the words "Chu Xisheng, a small banner officer of the Thousand Households of Xiushui Jinyi".

The other is also the waist badge of the little flag officer, but the name is changed to 'Chu Yunyun'.

After Chu Xisheng looked at it, his expression froze slightly.

Instead of showing joy, he looked at Cao Xuan warily, "Lord Qianhu, what I want is only a hereditary small banner officer, not a real award."

Since the founding of the country in Daning, there has been a tradition of enshrining the children of the powerful and powerful as hereditary military positions in Jinyiwei.

After 800 years of passing the country, there are as many hereditary flag officials in Jinyiwei as there are crucian carp crossing the river.

Most of them do not work in Jinyiwei, but just receive a salary.

Later, there were too many hereditary Jinyiwei, and the imperial court couldn't afford it, so they didn't even give them their salaries.

Chu Xisheng wanted this hereditary small banner officer to resolve his identity issue with Chu Yunyun.

As long as they put on this layer of official skin, it will be convenient for them to do anything in the future.

He never thought of being the real official of the Jinyiwei and being sent by the Jinyiwei.

And the so-called courteous people must ask for something. This Cao man is obviously the rhythm of the weasel giving the chicken New Year's greetings.

Cao Xuan didn't look at Chu Xisheng's expression, he calmly blew on the mugwort leaves floating in the teacup: "The reason why I changed to the actual little banner officer is because Cao has something to ask Brother Chu for help. I don't know Brother Chu, have you ever heard of the Tyrannical Martial King Qin Muge and the Nishen Banner?"

Chu Xisheng had originally made up his mind that no matter what the other party entrusted him with, he would refuse them all.

But when he heard the word 'Qin Muge', his heart moved slightly, and he looked suspicious: "Who in the world doesn't know the name of the King of Martial Arts Qin Muge? As for the Nishen Banner, I don't know much about it, but today's blood wind robbers are for The Nishen Banner came here. You Jinyiwei searched for a long time in the library, maybe it was because of this thing?"

Cao Xuan sneered: "That's what I want to ask. I hope Brother Chu is in the Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall to help me pay attention to the clues of Qin Muge and Nishenqi."

Chu Xisheng was in an indescribably weird mood for a moment. It sounded like he wanted to check his own rhythm?
However, he still showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and pushed back both the token and the golden silk armor in front of him: "Master Qianhu is really too strong, Caomin can't betray the martial arts school, and secondly, he knows how much he has. If you don’t dare to get involved in such a turmoil like the Nishen Banner, Lord Qianhu should ask someone else to do it.”

"It's not for you to betray Zhengyang martial arts."

Cao Xuan put down his teacup and looked at Chu Xisheng fixedly: "Cao can make a spiritual contract with you, and won't let you do anything that endangers the martial arts school and Wuxiang Shenzong. What Cao wants is the Nishen Banner clues.

The Nishen Banner is the supreme treasure of our human race. It has the power to change fate against the heavens and resist the gods. Once this thing falls into the hands of treacherous people, the consequences will be disastrous.

Brother Chu was able to stand up today and take the risk to kill the sorcerer of the Bloodwind Bandit. He must be a chivalrous person. Do you want to sit back and watch this thing be captured by evil ways like the Bloodwind Bandit? "

When Cao Xuan said this, he changed his voice again: "Before I came, I actually checked Brother Chu's background. To be honest, the directions and household registrations of the two of you are not very reliable. You are from Mount Tai in Dongzhou. The county moved here, but it was the accent of the capital."

Chu Xisheng remained calm.

This Cao Qianhu is nothing more than playing coercion and temptation, playing both soft and hard ways.

In fact, he is very willing in his heart, check himself, this matter is easy to handle, and he can get two salaries from Jin Yiwei for nothing.

But Chu Xisheng thought, he couldn't agree so readily, it's better to ask Chu Yunyun's opinion first.

"I'm actually very curious about the origin of Brother Chu. Is he a fugitive slave from a certain official family in the capital? A wanted criminal by the court? Or a refugee from over there? But this has nothing to do with Cao. The current world is like your brothers and sisters." There are too many people here, they don’t know where they come from, and they don’t know where they go, no one cares.”

Cao Xuan picked up the scissors on the table with a smile at this time, and trimmed the wick on the oil lamp slowly: "But in the future, if you brothers and sisters want to go further in the Zhengyang Martial Arts School, or join the Wuxiang Shenzong, this status does not matter. The law wins the trust of people.

Cao can help you, keep your identities clean and without any flaws, and even have the chance to obtain my Jin Yiwei's unique elixir and martial arts secrets.But there is always a price for everything, what do you think, Xiao Chu? "

Chu Xisheng narrowed his eyes, watching Cao Xuan's trimming of the wick with a cold expression.

Cao Xuan looked extremely focused, as if he was trimming the vegetation in his own garden.

His hands are also steady and meticulous.

Chu Xisheng unconsciously grasped the waist knife, thinking about Cao Xuan's phrase 'I don't know where to go'.

He pondered for a long time, and then let go of the hand holding the knife: "This matter is of great importance, please give me some time, Lord Qianhu, so that I can think about it."

Cao Xuan frowned, his eyes seemed displeased.

His hands trembled, and he cut off most of the wick.

"Missed."

Cao Xuan smiled ashamedly, and put down the scissors: "Forget it, it's human nature for me to have concerns. Cao will give me five days. If I want to, I can do it in the northeast of the martial arts hall." Baozi shop, buy three tangerine peel buns.

He patted the golden silk armor and the waist badge on the table again: "These things are left here, regardless of whether the little brother agrees or not, this is the reward Cao Mou promised you."
