"Dad! Why are you here!" Cao Miao said in surprise when she was taken to the Flower Hall of Xu Mansion and saw her father sitting in the armchair on the right.

Cao Jian looked his daughter up and down and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was safe.

He stood up, pulled his daughter to sit next to him, winked at her, and then said: "Miao'er, this is Crown Prince Du of the Rongguo Palace in the middle of the capital."

Cao Miao's heart skipped a beat after looking at her father's eyes, and she hurriedly forced out a smile, "Cao Miao has met Prince Du, General Xu."

When the Cao family was in power, his father had never been so polite to Xu Zizhang.

Now her father was smiling all over his face and introduced Prince Du to her. What else did she not understand?

The battle between my father and the Xu family failed. Not only did he not win, he also lost to the Xu family.

The person who played an important role in this was Prince Du!

Being able to fight for the interests of the Cao family by the Wolf King's side, Cao Miao is no ordinary woman and knows how to judge the situation.

He also knows when to say what to say.

Du Qinglin nodded and asked the Cao family and his daughter to sit down.

The reason why the Cao family is still retained and Cao Miao is not treated harshly is entirely because the Cao family is still useful.

Du Qinglin didn't have time to sell things, so he spoke out about the Cao family's requirements.

Cao Miao's son Pingyang is the son of the Wolf King. Qin Shuhuang sent a secret message to Xia Gongcheng. The child Yela born to the Wolf King's concubine has died. Abiya's child is actually the Eagle King's. So the Wolf King The only bloodline left is Pingyang, which came from Cao Miao.

Although the old Khan belittled the Wolf King, he liked the Eagle King's children very much.

In addition, the old Khan wanted to contain the Eagle King, and Pingyang had the support of Dawu, so he was the most suitable candidate selected by the old Khan.

In order to check and balance the Eagle King, Du Qinglin asked the Cao family to secretly unite with the old Khan King.

At this point, the Cao family has no other choice.

Cao Jian actually didn't want to accept this arrangement. After thinking about it, he said, "What if General Liu gets involved? I'm afraid the regent will not bypass our Cao family."

Xu Zizhang smiled and said, "Brother Cao, you still don't know that General Liu has died in Beidi King City."

Cao Jian, who originally had a normal expression on his face, was stunned when he heard Xu Zizhang's words.

He never thought that a ruthless right-hand man like General Liu of the Regent would die in Beidi City.

General Liu died, and the Cao family was controlled by the Xu family and Prince Du, which was equivalent to the indirect weakening of the regent's power by [-]%!

In the future, can the powerful regent of Dawu really continue to be in control?

Originally, General Liu was still a threat to Qin Shuhuang.

Now that General Liu is gone, the entire Xia Gong City has completely fallen into the hands of Qin Shuhuang.

The Cao family no longer had a chance to resist. If they wanted to survive, they had to obey the arrangements of Du Qinglin and Xu Zizhang.

Seeing this clearly, Cao Jian quickly adjusted his mentality and stopped making unnecessary resistance.

After informing Cao Jian about General Liu, Cao Jian and his daughter were obviously more cooperative than before, and everything went smoothly.

Now, just wait for Qin Shuhuang to leave Beidi Royal City and return to Xia Gong City, and then Du Qinglin will return to the capital with Qin Shuhuang and Liu Renren.

Half a month later, Qin Shuhuang and his party arrived at Xiagong City.

After resting in Xiagong City for three days, he headed to the capital with the team led by Du Qinglin.

In order to prevent the Cao family from having evil intentions again, Du Qinglin and Xu Zizhang not only took back the military power of the Cao family, but Du Qinglin also left Xu Zizhang a thousand elite soldiers of the Du family.

At that time, these thousand elite soldiers of the Du family will return to the capital with the first caravan of trade between the two countries.It was still autumn when we set off from the capital to Beidi, and now we are leaving Xiagong City in the spring of the coming year.

By the time I get back to the capital, I'm afraid it's already early summer.

When Qin Shuhuang rushed to the capital, Gu Hongchao was still in Beidi City.

In order to get what King Ping wanted, Gu Hongchao did not want to leave the royal city easily. He rented a small courtyard in the royal city and went in and out every day to inquire about news about the Beidi royal family.

It's a pity that there has been no progress for so long.

Gu Hongchao went out early that day and stayed in the teahouse for half a day before returning.

He rubbed his brows tiredly, and was about to enter the courtyard where he rented, when he found a familiar figure standing at the door of the courtyard.

This person is none other than the former Princess Hiyorimu.

It's just that I haven't seen her for many days. Princess Hihemu is no longer the noble girl who is full of luxury and arrogance.

She was wearing patched and tattered clothes, she was two times thinner than before, her face was dry and sallow, and she didn't even have a maid by her side.

The royal family who were reviled in Beidi did not live as well as ordinary people, and were bullied by the people at the bottom.

Princess Hiyorimu is the portrayal.

Gu Hongchao was startled for a moment and then laughed, "Your Highness Princess, long time no see. Did you come to visit for something?"

Her former male favorite looked at her with contempt and rejection.

Hihemu twitched his lips coldly, "Gu Hongchao, give me 1000 taels of silver."

When Gu Hongchao heard what Princess Hihemu said, his smile became even bigger. He walked up to Princess Hihemu and smelled the sour smell left by Princess Hihemu after not bathing for many days. He immediately took two steps back, " Hihemu, do you still think you are Princess Beidi?"

Hihemu stared at Gu Hongchao, "Back then, I gave you so many good things, didn't you feel you deserved it? Now I only ask you for 1000 taels."

"Hiyorimu, you also know that was the case back then. Your Royal Highness, you'd better recognize the reality as soon as possible!" After saying that, Gu Hongchao entered the yard and ordered Chang Sui beside him to stop Hiyorimu.

When the gate of the small courtyard was about to close, Hihemu stood at the door and shouted: "Gu Hongchao, give me 1000 taels, and I will tell you where your sister is!"

Gu Hongchao was walking towards the yard and paused when he heard these words.

He turned back to look at Hiyori with a sneer on his lips outside the courtyard gate.

"Gu Hongchao, your sister, Gu Yufei!"

Gu Hongchao's expression convinced Hihemu that Gu Yufei was definitely Gu Hongchao's sister.

After so many days, Hihemu also realized that what Gu Yufei said at the beginning might be true, but she was not sure until this moment.

The sarcasm on Gu Hongchao's face faded, and he winked at Chang Sui, "Princess, please come in and talk."

After experiencing the beatings of life, Hiyori is no longer as stupid as before.

Are you kidding? She was alone. If she entered Gu Hongchao's yard, she would most likely not be able to come out alive.

"I won't go in. If you want to know, just give me money in exchange. If you don't want to know, forget it."

Gu Hongchao gritted his teeth and saw the crowds of people walking on the street outside the hospital, wanting to know the news about Gu Yufei. At this time, he had no choice but to ask Chang Sui to collect a 1000-tael silver note.

When Gu Hongchao handed the banknote to Hihemu, Hihemu also told Gu Hongchao the news she knew.

After the exchange, Hiyori put a wad of banknotes into his arms and quickly disappeared at the end of the street, without even catching up with Chang Sui.

In the afternoon, Gu Hongchao appeared in a Beidi restaurant... (End of chapter)
