Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 96 The Three-Cun Tongue (Part [-])
Cao Gan spoke with a Jiangxi accent?If this is the case, then Liu Ting's suspicion is very likely to be true.

Gao Wushi pondered for a while, and asked, "So you mean that Cao Gan might have been a subordinate of the traitor Zhang Lian?"

"I think it's quite possible." Although Liu Chen was careless, he also had a worried expression on his face at the moment: "After all, it involves conspiracy, Mr. Gao, do you think we should inform my father of this matter first?"

Gao Wushi thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, let's make sure first, what if it's just a false alarm? Let's go, Brother Zishou, let's talk to Cao Gan again."

Liu Ting thought to himself: This Mr. Gao is really courageous, but... Anyway, no one else knows now anyway, so what if I just treat myself as a guard?In case it is really a remnant of the traitor, it will not be too late for me to report to my father later.

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 closed his eyes and rested calmly.

"Master Cao is quite leisurely." Seeing this, Gao Wushi smiled and said, "Why don't we just set out some side dishes, boil a pot of wine, and have a good chat?"

Cao Gan then slowly opened his eyes.He first took a look at Gao Yushi, then took a look at Liu Ting, and smiled: "Cao doesn't care about any side dishes, but if there is wine, it would be good."

Gao Wushi laughed, and really turned around and went to the door, called Wei Ximin who was waiting not far away, and asked him to prepare some appetizers and bring over two jugs of spirits.

As Zhang's other courtyard, Sanshen Garden is ready to receive guests at any time, so this requirement is very easy to handle, not to mention that Wei Ximin is now afraid that he will lose his job and gradually fall out of favor in front of the new owner of Sanshen Garden, so he is doing his best He showed his ability, so he quickly said that it would be done right away.

Gao Wushi returned to the wing room and said to Liu Ting, "Brother Zishou, I'll treat Mr. Cao to have a few drinks later, please untie him."

Of course both Cao Gan and Liu Ting knew why Gao Yushi didn't release Cao Gan himself - he had no power to resist Cao Gan, what if he was taken hostage again?And it doesn't matter if it's Liu Ting going, not to mention Cao Gan is injured, even if there is no injury or pain, he, Master Cao, can't get the slightest benefit in front of Liu Ting.

Liu Ting sighed. In fact, he didn't agree with letting go of Cao Gan. Although in terms of martial arts, he dared to say that he was not afraid of facing two Cao Gans, but since Gao Wushi wanted to invite Cao Gan to drink later, he would not let him go. It must be the one acting as the bodyguard.Although Liu Ting 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 very confident in being a bodyguard, and now his father is asking Mr. Gao. If he hurt him, there would be no place to put his face.

But I want to think about it, since Gao Wushi came with me, and now this matter is led by Gao Wushi, I have no choice but to cooperate - after all, Gao Wushi dared to do this because he trusted Liu Ting, Liu Ting is so upright The boy thought he had to live up to this trust.

Liu Ting stepped forward to untie the rope on Cao Gan's body, but did not conceal his distrust of him at all, and said coldly: "Your surname is Cao, Mr. Gao has repaid you with virtue. If you still have any thoughts , then don’t blame my young master for being rude.”

Cao Gan also responded with a sneer: "If you don't dare, why bother to untie?"

Liu Chen raised his chin slightly, and said proudly: "You alone are worthy of questioning me, I dare not? Hmph, if you are not convinced, you can heal your hand injury and then make gestures with me, I will let you One hand, how about it?"

Cao Gan stared at Liu Ting's eyes, and Liu Ting also stared at Cao Gan's eyes. If the eyes of these two people could kill, the other would probably have been cut to pieces.

Gao Wushi laughed, waved his hands and said, "Brother Zishou, don't worry, I think Master Cao is a sensible person who knows how to advance and retreat, and he won't do anything unwise."

Naturally, Liu Ting would not put on a show of face to Gao Yushi. Hearing this, he gave Cao Gan a hard look, and retreated to Gao Yushi's side.

Cao Gan squinted at Gao Yushi, and said mockingly: "Since Mr. Gao said that I am sensible, know how to advance and retreat, and will not do unwise things, why don't you dare to step forward?"

Gao Yushi is not a soft-faced person. He just smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said: "That's different. I stay in a place out of the reach of Master Cao. Master Cao will naturally be wise, but if I send myself to Cao Da Where the head of the family is within reach, no matter whether you are wise or not, the head of the Cao family, I am not wise first... Hasn't the head of the Cao family heard that "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall"?"

Cao Gan snorted, "It's really easy for scholars to find excuses. If you're afraid, you're just afraid, and it's actually reasonable."

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "Confucius said: 'A gentleman has three fears: Fear of the destiny, fear of adults, and fear of the words of sages. A villain does not know the destiny of heaven and is not afraid. He insults adults and insults the words of sages." Cao Da is in charge, and I obey the sages You underestimate the words of the sages, so although I am a child, I can travel freely in the world; although you are brave, you only live in the mountains and wilds."

Cao Gan said angrily, "You can travel freely all over the world because you have an uncle who is the elder of Emperor Shige; I live in the mountains because I was framed by someone! Don't care about him!"

Gao Wushi raised his eyebrows, and asked back: "Been framed? This is strange, don't you, Cao Tianwang, be a bandit chieftain of Bailixia who has been rampant in the Northland for many years?"

Cao Gan suddenly woke up: "You kid want to find out about me?"

Gao Wushi sighed: "I just saw that you have extraordinary martial arts skills, and your courage is valuable. I don't want to hand you over to the Shuntian Mansion without asking any questions. Why are you so nervous?"

"Why should I be nervous?" Cao Gan said with a sneer, "Boy, don't think that only you scholars know about those conspiracies and tricks, don't you just want to fool me, so that you can easily take down the entire Baili Gorge with more than a thousand people? Everyone, do you want to present a big gift to the Zhu family emperor? Do you really think I can't figure it out?"

Liu Ting's heart tightened when he heard it, and he thought to himself: "Oops, this Cao man looks like a shoddy, but unexpectedly he has a bright mind. I'm afraid Mr. Gao will not be able to continue the business of surrendering."

Unexpectedly, Gao Pragmatic was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Since you know that I have an uncle who is the elder of Emperor Shige, you must also know that my third uncle always asks for everything when speaking in front of His Majesty. Then you Why don't you think about it again, no matter how easy to defend and difficult to attack your Baili Gorge, how strong your army is, if my third uncle really wants to suppress it, wouldn't it be a matter of one word?"

Cao Gan's grass-like curly beard was calm and motionless, and he stared at Gao Yushi with a pair of surrounding eyes: "How are you doing?"

"I didn't plan to do anything." Gao Wushi spread his hands innocently: "I just wanted to find a way out for you, but you are guarding me like a thief... Mr. Cao, why don't you think about it?" , I was blocked by your Bailixia thieves in the suburbs of Beijing. I was beaten and kidnapped. I, a junior, was almost killed by thieves in the capital, and they are both public and private, so I’m afraid they all have to take your Bailixia into action, otherwise how will I gain a foothold in the court in the future?”
