Longevity Martial Arts Begins by Taking Care of the Queen

Chapter 17
early morning,

Cao Ze was driving on the tree-lined path and soon found that the exit was covered with hoarfrost.

When he returned to Chenliu Cao Mansion, the morning light was dim and the sky was breaking. Cao Ze didn't catch up on his sleep. At his level, he could stay awake for half a month, or even a month.

The sixth floor of Guanhai Pavilion,
Cao Ze looked down at the entire mansion, observing it in such detail for the first time, as if he wanted to imprint the entirety of Cao's mansion in his mind.

Tomorrow he will lead his army to Beijing to defend the country and put an end to the chaos. I wonder when he will return to Qingzhou and Chenliu to support the royal family and return home in glory?Failed the fight and came back in despair?
No matter what the outcome is, it is destined to take a long time. If you don't take a closer look at Cao Mansion at this time, your mentality will definitely be different when you return in the future.

Behind him, the stunning guard Xue Ningmei appeared quietly, still dressed in black, with a full-moon scimitar hanging on her waist. Her aura was calm and she returned to her original nature, just like an ordinary person.

Cao Ze suddenly asked: "Ningmei, where is your hometown?"

He knew that Xue Ningmei had a complete life experience, but he had never asked about it. Now he felt it and was quite curious.

"Xi Chu." Xue Ningmei's expression was cold, her lips slightly parted.

Cao Ze looked sluggish, a little regretful, and shouldn't talk about this topic.

Western Chu was very small, and it was also a small country during the Warring States Period, with an area of ​​about 5000 miles, a population of 300 million, and [-] million soldiers.

But there is one top sect in the world of this small country—Longhu Mountain!

Longhu Mountain is one of the four great sects in the world. It has a very profound foundation. Every generation in the Tianshi Mansion has outstanding talents. There are several great masters of Tianren alone. The old Tianshi is the supreme grandmaster of the realm of Tongxuan.

The Daqian Dynasty once destroyed five kingdoms, and Western Chu was the second to last one to be destroyed because of the fear of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain.

The huge Western Chu was destroyed by Daqian's cavalry in just two and a half years. Longhushan never intervened from the beginning to the end, which was beyond the expectations of everyone in the Daqian dynasty and even the world.

No one knows what the supreme Heavenly Master in the world is thinking. The world only knows that on the eve of the fall of Western Chu, the first of the previous generations of Daqian Jing Yesi entered Longhu Mountain.

The former Western Chu became the Chuzhou of the Daqian Dynasty, and the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain still stood in the rivers and lakes of Chuzhou, regardless of anything.

Xue Ningmei came from Western Chu, which was somewhat beyond Cao Ze's expectation, but he did not think that Xue Ningmei had anything to do with Longhu Mountain, and Cao Ze did not continue to inquire.

"Ningmei, do you think there are twelve immortal martial saints dormant in this world?" Cao Ze changed the subject directly.

Xue Ningmei thought carefully and nodded.

A glint flashed in Cao Ze's eyes, and he couldn't help but become interested, and asked: "Do you have any goals?"

Xue Ningmei shook her head.

Cao Ze frowned slightly, somewhat understanding what she meant.

He did not continue the topic, chatted with Xue Ningmei for a few more words, and then suddenly looked back.

However, he saw that Xue Ningmei, who was inseparable from him, only half a height away, stood ten feet away, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.

"Sir, please respect yourself." Xue Ningmei's cold voice sounded.

Cao Ze was a little disappointed. He wanted to make a surprise attack and eat some tofu, but he didn't expect Xue Ningmei to be prepared.

"Ningmei, why are you so far away? I won't eat shit." Cao Ze was very thick-skinned and pretended not to hear Xue Ningmei's words without looking embarrassed at all.

As a gentleman with great ambitions, Cao Ze highly respected the masterpiece "Hou Hei Xue" in his previous life. He had read it several times. The principle of "thick face and dark heart" expounded in it, Cao Ze deeply understood the three flavors of it.

"Haha~" Xue Ningmei sneered.However, she still came closer. There was only half a body between them, and Cao Ze could smell the body fragrance coming from Xue Ningmei.

When the plan failed, Cao Ze did not continue and talked about other topics with Xue Ningmei very naturally. Xue Ningmei looked cold, as if nothing happened just now.

After staying at Guanhai Pavilion for an hour, Cao Ze took Xue Ningmei and left.

The main hall of Cao Mansion,

The head of the family, Cao Zhengge, Cao Ze, the housekeeper Liucheng and others gathered together, a total of nine people.

Cao Ze's eyes swept over the other five people. These five people were all very strong, two god-refining masters, three qi-refining masters, four men and one woman.

Cao Ze was sizing up the five people, and these five powerful men from the Cao Mansion were also sizing up Cao Ze, the heir to the Chenliu Cao family.

However, Cao Zhengge and Liucheng's eyes fell on Xue Ningmei behind Cao Ze, with different expressions on their faces.

The housekeeper Liucheng didn't know Xue Ningmei, nor could he see the depth of Xue Ningmei. He was just curious about why the young master suddenly had a beautiful maid and brought her to such an occasion.

As the head of the family, Cao Zhengge knew a lot of information. He knew about the sudden appearance of a stunning maid next to his son. Others in the family could not tell the truth about Xue Ningmei, but Cao Zhengge could see it somewhat.

This woman in black with a beautiful face and an proud figure is suspected to be a great master in the realm of unity between man and nature. Her aura has returned to its original nature and is extremely restrained. Cao Zhengge can only vaguely spy on her.

There was a turmoil in his heart, but his face remained calm. He took a deep look at Xue Ningmei and guessed her origin.

"Coming from Xichu, could it be?"

Cao Zhengge was shocked and did not think about it any further. His eyes returned to Cao Ze.

He didn't know what the relationship between Cao Ze and the woman in black was, and when they met. However, Cao Zhengge believed in Cao Ze. Cao Ze was a measured man. Since he brought her here, Cao Ze had his reasons.

Cao Zhengge glanced at Liucheng, who immediately understood and said:
"Shaoqing, these five are your assistants when you come to the capital this time. Let me introduce them to you. If you have any important matters in the capital, you can consult with them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liucheng immediately introduced the five people one by one. Their identities, strengths, etc. were all clearly introduced. They were all members of the Chenliu Cao family.

Cao Zhengyu, my uncle, is a gentle middle-aged man with a graceful demeanor and a strong master;
Cao Yuanzhan, the great commander of the Euphorbia warriors, commanded one hundred thousand heavily armored Euphorbia warriors. He was a burly middle-aged man with a strong back and strong shoulders, and a strong master;
Cao Feixue, the second commander of the black-clothed guards, is responsible for collecting world intelligence for the Cao Mansion. She is a kind-faced old woman and a little master;
Cao Lang, the commander-in-chief of the Earth-Splitting Army, commanded one hundred thousand light-armored Earth-Splitting Cavalry. He was a handsome middle-aged man with an imposing appearance and a minor master.

Cao Xiong, the commander-in-chief of the Qingzhou Poxuan Army, commanded 40 Qingzhou Poxuan Army. He was a mighty middle-aged man with a chin and a tiger beard, a little master.

Cao Ze's eyes moved slightly and nodded.

Among these five people, he only knew Cao Zhengyu and Cao Yuanzhan. He had never met the other three, but now he knew them all.

Two grandmasters, three minor grandmasters, and an army of 60 were the Chenliu Cao family's support for his entry into the capital, and Cao Ze was quite satisfied.

Chenliu Cao's family was naturally more than just strong men and soldiers, but Cao Zhengge only gave him so much.

The Chenliu Cao family has a profound heritage, with one supreme grandmaster, three great masters, seven grandmasters, and even more minor masters.

As one of the nine great families in the world, the Cao clan can be said to be the local emperor of Qingzhou. Even the Qingzhou governor appointed Cao clan members to control the military and political affairs of Qingzhou.

Qingzhou has more than 200 million elite soldiers. Only one of the elite troops was transferred to Cao Ze. The Cao clan also had many elite private armies. This time, two of them were transferred to Cao Ze.
