This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 457 Probing
The moon and stars were scarce, and General Pingbei hung up red lanterns.

Lanterns dotted the dark night sky, illuminating the many houses that criss-crossed each other.

General Pingbei surrendered Tuxian Mountain, and his power grew day by day.

In the city of Youzhou Prefecture, General Pingbei's Mansion is very eye-catching, and if there is any disturbance, it will spread throughout the city.

Tonight, the Pingbei General's Mansion held a dinner.

The scale of the dinner was not large, but the incident reached the ears of the common people, even people in the Jianghu had heard about it.

Regarding the Pingbei General's Mansion, from the moment the plaque was hung, it gradually became mysterious.

It has a completely different temperament from the original City Lord's Mansion.

Originally, the people from the rivers and lakes in the city came and went high and low. Although the city lord's mansion was heavily guarded, it was not too dangerous.

Today's Pingbei General's Mansion is a real forbidden place. There are countless masters in the mansion, and ordinary people can't get close to it at all. However, none of the Jianghu warriors who sneaked into the General's Mansion have been able to come out.

This is a place of great evil, extremely dangerous.

Those who are curious can only stand on the tall buildings in the city and look towards the general's mansion from a distance.

I saw the lights of the general's mansion lit up, and the melodious sound of the piano could be heard faintly, which was an elegant dinner celebration.

At the dinner party, Liu Yiqi and Liu Luan, dressed up to attend, sat on Cao Su's left.

Cao Su invited Cao's father and Cao's mother to sit in high positions.

Cao's father and Cao's mother walked all the way, their faces were tired, and after a day's adjustment, they recovered some spirits.

Now that the whole family is here, Cao's mother brought up the important matter again.

"A Su, now that you have great power, a big official, and a territory, should you think about the big things in life?"

An important reason that prompted Cao's father and Cao's mother to rush all the way to Youzhou was that they wanted to watch Cao Su get married and have children.

Passing on the family line from generation to generation is a major event of the Cao family.

Cao Su has broken through the realm of strength, has a long life, and is also forward-thinking, so there is no need to worry about it.

But Cao's father and Cao's mother have been very anxious, and now there is no one else at the dinner, so the two brought up the matter again.

Cao Su couldn't think of any reason for his refusal, and inexplicably remembered the ridiculous few days in the imperial city, and was slightly distracted.

"Ah Su, what are you thinking about?"

Cao's mother was aggressive, showing the majesty of being a mother, and put pressure on Cao Su.

Cao Su frowned.

Several other people on the field did not speak, Liu Yiqi was inappropriate to speak, Liu Luan didn't know how to speak, and Cao's father was always on the same side as Cao's mother.

Cao Su said, "Who will you marry?"

Mother Cao looked at Liu Yiqi who was sitting, and Liu Yiqi blushed immediately, and lowered her head slightly.

Cao's mother smiled and said: "I think Yiqi is very good. She escorted us all the way here. She is dedicated and capable, and she is also beautiful. She is enough to be your good wife."

Liu Yiqi knew that she would be named, so she became more and more shy.

It is very different from the state of talking sharply with Cao Su during the day, and striving for every inch of interest based on reason.

In front of people.
Cao Su couldn't refuse, and then said: "Yiqi is my partner, our relationship is already very close, there is no need to get closer."

This was Cao Su's first tactful refusal, and Liu Yiqi below raised her head in disbelief, just like Liu Luan next to her, showing a strange expression.

At the same time, Li Nanyan held the tea tray, and Shi Shi ran in.

She swayed her plump figure, her fiery red satin brocade robe outlined her graceful curves, and her every move had a charming charm.

Liu Yiqi looked at Li Nanyan and found that Li Nanyan was also looking at her curiously.

Cao's mother suddenly slapped the table and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, say something I don't understand."

"Your father and I traveled thousands of miles to look for you, not to see your sophistry."

"Since you have reached the age, the so-called important event must be the succession of the family. Yiqi is a good girl, and she is in the same family as our Cao family. I agree with this marriage. You must get married soon."

Cao's mother didn't know where she was so angry, and there was a sense of majesty in the sound of drinking.

Seeing the murderous General Cao as a fool, he sat on the stool blankly, forgetting any rebuttal words.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the dinner party became extremely awkward.
-
The elegant dinner ended with everyone having different thoughts.

Cao Su stood in the middle of the hall, and suddenly said loudly: "Since you're here, why don't you come down and sit down?"

He turned his head and looked at the top of the beam, which was originally empty.

Under Cao Su's direct gaze, the space trembled like ripples, and then two exquisite figures appeared from the space.

"I didn't expect the famous General Pingbei to be scolded one day."

Ouyang Xuanji was amazed: "Also, you actually found me, you are getting stronger and stronger."

The two jumped down from the beam and landed in front of Cao Su.

Keep a reasonable distance from Cao Su.

Cao Su said helplessly: "There is no need to be so cautious every time, right? Although I am a martial artist, I am a disciplined martial artist, and I am essentially different from those Jiang Hu people."

Ouyang Xuanji waved her hand: "One size fits one size, this is the basic professional ethics of an alchemist."

Wu Yun beside her smiled and saluted Cao Su.

Cao Su nodded and asked, "Sister Yun, didn't you please escort my parents to Youzhou? Why did they arrive before you?"

Ouyang Xuanji's master of martial arts can also be regarded as an alchemist who has learned Qimen Dunjia. His methods are secretive and complicated, and his secrets are better than others.

Therefore, Cao Su secretly dispatched Wu Yun to guard his parents. Unexpectedly, in Liu Yiqi's story, there was no such thing as Wu Yun, as if Wu Yun had never appeared before.

Wu Yun shook her head and said: "The general doesn't know something, I did follow your parents out of the magic gate."

"But as soon as I was out of my mind, I found out that someone was also secretly following your parents."

"Afterwards, I fought with this person who was secretly following me, and then I asked Master to come over and erase the traces of your parents."

As Wu Yun spoke, she suddenly stretched out two slender fingers.

On her fingers that were as white as suet, there was a cluster of faint green flames. The green flames burned out of thin air, and the top was black. Under the night, it didn't feel hot at all, but there was a kind of coolness.

"Let's see, general."

After Wu Yun finished speaking, Cao Su observed carefully, with a serious expression on his face.

After reading it for a long time, he didn't understand it, and he said puzzled, "This is."

"This is one of the unique skills of the 'Qingyangmen', the spirit firework technique."

"The practice of this technique is extremely complicated and difficult, and it is integrated with the 'Qimen' technique. Even ordinary ascetics can't practice this technique."

Ouyang Xuanji on the side gave a brief introduction.

Cao Su asked: "What does the fusion of 'Qimen' spells mean?"

"The general should have heard of the principle of magic tricks. Although alchemists like us don't practice Taoism, they also have their own methods. Some ascetics will also practice other sects in order to improve their magic power, like The technique of 'Qimen Dunjia' belongs to the side door in the ranks of cultivators, and if you can integrate the 'side door' into your own skills, it can be called eclectic."

Ouyang Xuanji gave a brief introduction, and Cao Su understood it.

To put it bluntly, one is a science student majoring in physical chemistry, and now he has also learned biology as a part-time major. This is fusion.

"Then to practice this spirit firework technique, you must also practice some 'odd gate' techniques?"

"Yes, that's why Wu Yun can refine and control this fire."

Ouyang Xuanji pointed to the firework of the underworld emerging from Wu Yun's fingertips. At this time, the firework was very weak and basically harmless, but its strange posture was still very eye-catching.

Cao Su said in a deep voice: "Isn't Qingyangmen an ordinary martial arts school, and there are people practicing Taoism?"

"The Qingyang Gate is located in the north-central part of Youzhou, but Keshou directly fished across the boundary, and is even active in Yuzhou. It's really arrogant."

He sneered again and again, his impression of this sect was extremely bad.

"In Qingyangmen, I heard that there are also old monsters in the profound realm, but now that the profound realm is out, there are only a handful of people in Qingyangmen who can have such a sensitive firework skill. I suspect that their deputy sect master Jia Shen personally made the move. .”

Ouyang Xuanji said: "When I was covering my tracks, I once encountered a strong interference."

"It almost broke my merits because of this, and I was talked about and found out."

"Now in this Youzhou mansion, I seem to feel some undercurrents surging again."

Cao Su couldn't believe what Ouyang alchemist said.

These days, alchemists are sometimes more accurate than their own pure judgments, especially now that he is in a high position, his vision is different, and he lacks sufficient understanding of the undercurrent.

Cao Su's heart moved, it seemed that he had to go to the city to investigate in person.
