This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 700
Ruzhou, a heavy rain.

Summer invaded the southern country, and the sweltering temperature arrived at the same time as the thunderstorm.

The wind is like pulling up the mountains, and the rain is like a river pouring. A place as rich as Ruzhou is even more troubled by floods. The lives of the people in the southern country who have suffered from wars for years are even more difficult.

Thousands of people died of starvation, and the entire southern country was like a purgatory on earth.

Years of wars, natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Ruzhou, the city of Bozhou, the once prosperous big city of Ruzhou, is now like an empty city, with a solitary silence floating around.

On the top of the wall, on top of the tall buildings, a tall figure stood in the heavy rain.

He was wearing a bamboo hat, and the rain fell drop by drop along the edge of the bamboo hat, onto the bluestone slabs in the city.

"Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer."

A voice of pity sounded, and the figure stared at the empty Bozhou City, heartbroken.

Beside him, a figure soon appeared, slightly shorter than him, also looking down at the empty city, with a hoarse voice: "There is news from the north."

"On the first day of June, Cao Su was called the King of Yan and granted the title of Youzhou."

The voice was fluttering, but the tone was quite dignified.

The tall figure before him, in the rain, did not speak for a long time.

After a long while, the man wearing the bamboo hat smiled wistfully, shook his head and said, "I never thought that our plan would allow Cao Su to obtain the greatest benefit in the end. Now it seems that even the Taoist Palace has compromised with Cao Su. It is only a matter of time before the throne of Emperor Yuan is over."

"hey-hey."

The man with a hoarse voice spoke in an unpleasant voice, like the sound of two bones rubbing against each other. It was very evil and sinister: "Cao Su is your younger brother. Many people in the church now say that the leader abolished the religion for personal reasons. Now the leader says If this is the case, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public.”

"presumptuous!"

Amidst the rain curtain, the man in the bamboo hat was furious, and suddenly turned around, revealing a jade mask, his terrifying aura erupted violently, and the heavy rain that fell throughout the world seemed to be shaken away by him.

The thinner man was rushed by this breath, and suddenly let out a muffled snort, showing a look of astonishment involuntarily.

The man in the bamboo hat said in a deep voice: "Master's great cause is a number of days, how can it be changed because of personal affairs?"

The thin man's face turned pale, and then he laughed sullenly again, without answering the leader's words.

As one of the few people who knew the secrets of the sect, he admired the two Cao brothers very much.

Forget about Cao Xing, after all, it is destiny, the master of Dragon Jade, who has been appreciated by his master, and it is not impossible to inherit the great lineage in the sect, but this Cao Su, it is said that he is just an ordinary warrior, relying on I have only come to today step by step by fighting with a knife and a gun in the army. Now I have made a step forward and is expected to become the emperor of the secular dynasty. It is said that his own strength has also reached the first-rank state.

In a small Pingcheng, a small Cao family, two such powerful characters can appear at the same time.

The thin man's eyes flashed, and then he said with a smile: "Master, I didn't say these words, but now, the world is not good, and the last time in the capital of God, after all, I failed to break through the Dao Palace, so brothers in the sect More or less there are some criticisms, these are really human."

Cao Xing, who was wearing a mask, snorted coldly: "Is there any news from Tianji Pavilion?"

"No, Zuo Mingqing, the owner of the Tianji Pavilion, said that Cao Su has subdued the secret realm of Taiyin, and the dragon energy in the imperial city is gradually gathering and cohesive. I would like to ask Long Yu for any intuitive reaction?"

After the voice finished speaking, he stared at Cao Xing's body.

Cao Xing is the body of dragon jade, so he should have the most keen sense of the changes in dragon energy in the world.

Cao Xing lowered his hat, and said coldly: "Longyu has long been integrated with me. Over the years, to assist me in my cultivation, I have consumed too much spiritual energy. Now I have very little perception of the outside world. Let alone It is the changes in the Dragon Qi in the capital city thousands of miles away, even this small Bozhou, and now Longyu rarely gives direct feedback."

When he said this, the thin man didn't believe it. Cao Xing was not a good stubble. After he inherited the position of a great virtuous teacher, he cleaned up too many opponents who were unfavorable to him in the teaching, and was even very good at killing people with a knife. Now the entire Wanping The overall strength of the teaching is far inferior to that at its peak when the riots took place a few years ago, but there are more elites in the teaching, and more and more forces are directly controlled by Cao Xing.

Cao Xing was in power, and countless people wanted his life. Thanks to Longyu's rescue, Cao Xing was able to survive several times from death. Who in the sect doesn't know the magic of Longyu?
But there may have been some ideas in the past, now the entire Wanping Sect is Cao Xing alone, and Cao Xing himself has been taught by great virtuous teachers, and his strength is far beyond the comparison of ordinary martial arts.

The thin man thought of this, and said with a sinister smile: "So the condensation of dragon energy in the capital of the gods can only show that there is a sign of a bright master in the entire Qianyuan Empire. Master Zuo predicted that after Cao Su ascended the throne, the speed of this dragon energy condensation will be even faster. Hurry up, maybe it won't be long before there will be another lucky dragon guarding the sky above Shendu City. If the Taoist Palace wants to cultivate safely this time, it must also share a part of the luck of the lucky dragon, so that Wuchen"

"I can't defeat Wu Chenzi either. If it weren't for the 'Blue Sky Copper Bull' left behind by Master, the Dao Palace would never have been breached."

"Even if this is the case, the sect has suffered heavy losses, and has no strength to deal with the Dao Palace in a few years. Now even if the Luck Dragon recondenses, what can we do?"

When Cao Xing said this, the man beside him with a gloomy tone sneered in his heart, knowing that was the answer.

As long as Cao Xing mentioned something related to Cao Su, he would be vetoed by one vote. He must be lying to people who are all focused on the glory of the teaching.

It's a pity that when Cao Su was weak in the early years, he didn't directly kill him. Now it seems that there is no way to deal with this person. On the contrary, they should be more careful. Cao Su's murderousness against Wan Ping Sect is not weak, Wan Ping The key factor for teaching to turn from prosperity to decline may be Cao Su.

The rain continued, covering the entire city of Bozhou.

Under the mask, Cao Xing ordered in a deep voice: "For now, don't disturb the gods. Next, all the power will be placed in the cultivation world. The myth of the Dao Palace has been broken by us. Next, in the cultivation world, it will be a situation of heroes fighting for hegemony. It is difficult for Dao Palace to form an absolute advantage, and we join forces with Tianji Pavilion, maybe we will not be able to defeat Dao Palace in a few years or even decades, but what about another hundred years?"

"Your vision is too narrow. You always think about the one-acre three-point land in front of you. You think complicated problems too simply, and make simple problems too complicated."

Cao Xing said what Cao Su had said to him before, and after saying this, he couldn't help but feel lost.

As for the people under his command, although all of them are capable, almost all of them are thorns. If it weren't for the dual identities of the collaborator of Tianji Pavilion and the closed disciple of the former head teacher, it would be difficult for him to restrain these demons and ghosts.

In a flash, it's been ten years.
Cao Xing was silent, he still remembered the days when he and Cao Su were squeezed together in a dilapidated bungalow.

At that time, the house was bare and the walls were bare, and the warmest place was probably the messy haystacks in the house.

I heard that the Cao family became more and more prominent and prosperous. Cao Su also became the king of Yan, married many women, and gave birth to many offspring.

A look of pity flashed across his eyes, it's a pity that A Luan couldn't be with him——
The capital of the gods, the Palace of King Yan.

Xinyan Prince's Mansion is the original General's Mansion, Cao Sujin was the king, and the official position of the court is still the post of General.

Many courtiers in the court suggested to Cao Su to expand and repair the new Yanwang Mansion to demonstrate Cao Su's achievements in ruling the world.

This remonstrance was rejected by Cao Su, because Cao Su believed that the world had not yet been truly settled, and if he enjoyed himself first, disaster would inevitably arise.

Cao Su also reprimanded the courtiers who wrote to repair the Yan Palace. After that, no one in the courtiers dared to flatter.

King Yan's Mansion was the former General's Mansion, but Rongzheng had already built the General's Mansion very luxuriously.

Now that Cao Su has entered the palace, the specifications of the General's Mansion have reached the specifications of the palace, but on the basis of the original, some ceremonial guards, colors, etc. that could not be used in the first place have been slightly adjusted, so that they can be adjusted to be the king's palace. the point of use.

This matter was also specially handed over to Princess Yan Liu Yiqi to solve it.

Cao Su became the king of Yan, and his power became more and more powerful day by day, and it was even more difficult for ordinary people to see him.

In July, the teacher of the Su Dynasty returned to the court.

Cao Su led all the civil and military officials to welcome the returning Su Dynasty outside the Xuande Gate, as well as Ma Chao, Shi Yong, Luo Yushu, Miao Hongji and other young generals.

After the group of teenagers experienced the tempering of Xizhou, they were obviously more calm.

The Su Dynasty took out more than [-] forbidden troops, and only [-] forbidden troops returned in the end.

A total of [-] elite soldiers fell forever on the land of Xizhou and failed to return to their homeland.

And the remaining [-] elites had a deeper and calmer breath, like a bloody blade hidden in a scabbard, containing extremely strong lethality.

Cao Su collected a more elite army of [-], and streamlined and reorganized the army brought from the north together.

Then, according to the establishment established early in the morning, the original forbidden army was changed to "Wudang", "Flying Feather", "Great Halberd" and many other arms.

Because of this battle, Su Chao has completely secured his status as an upstart general in the court, and there is no voice of opposition from the court. Su Chao has become one of the most powerful generals in the current dynasty.

At the beginning of August, Cao Su specially set up a celebration banquet in Yan Wangfu, and invited Su Chao and other generals to the banquet to discuss matters.

That night, King Yan's Mansion was brightly lit, and among the hundreds of officials in the court, most of the purple-clothed officials above the second rank were invited by Cao Su to come to the wider Yanwang Mansion to have a banquet.

After drinking for three rounds, Cao Su sat on the high seat, accompanied by Liu Yiqi and An Yang.

The two concubines of Prince Yan's mansion are almost 30 years old, but they both look very young, as delicate and charming as two or eight virgins. One is more dignified after becoming Princess Yan, and the other has a cold temperament. Noble, they are all very tall, and they match well with Cao Su.

Among the courtiers Cao Su invited, they gradually became several circles.

For example, military generals, a group of generals formed their own faction, and generally did not communicate with civil servants.

Among the civil servants, the Taoist court elders like Jiang Qi seemed to belong to one group, and then Feng Yuchan belonged to another group, and officials like Zhong Jin and Wu Ming, who were originally from the palace aides, also gradually became faction.

It's not that purely one faction and another faction are deadly enemies.

It's just that everyone may gradually form different circles because of differences such as "geographic differences", "political differences" and "personality differences". This is very normal.

As long as there are many people, there will always be several different circles. Cao Su did not want to stop this phenomenon. He also hoped to see some different voices in the court.

These different voices do not affect the government, do not manipulate opponents secretly, and do not break the law or discipline, so he regards them as healthy competition.

After drinking for three rounds, Cao Su on the high seat suddenly said, "Everyone."

The banquet suddenly fell silent. It was obviously very hot just now, but now because of Cao Su's "indifferent" words, no matter who was doing what, they stopped what they were doing and looked at Cao Su.

The palace was instantly quiet, and there was no word.

Cao Su glanced over all the courtiers, and asked in a deep voice: "Now, although the area north of Luoshui has been pacified, the south is full of rebellious parties and many bandits. In the past few days, there have been heavy rains falling on the southern country. A piece of the country has been destroyed, and I don’t know how many people have been displaced.”

"Those rebels and bandits in the south may do evil very well, but they are not good at governing the country and saving people."

"In their eyes, they only think about how to strengthen their own strength and ignore the most fundamental interests of civilians. After all, they will not go far."

Cao Su expressed his views and speeches, and then half-spoken and half-asked the crowd: "What do you think is feasible to put down the many chaotic parties in the south?"

In the Military Air Pavilion, Cao Su has proposed several times to establish the Jiannan Road first, and then go east from Jiannan Road to sweep the world.

But outside of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, Cao Su has never mentioned this matter. As long as Cao Su does not say anything about this matter, the auxiliary ministers and veterans in the Military Aircraft Pavilion will not dare to say more. ".

At this moment, the elders of the Military Aircraft Pavilion would definitely not be able to speak. Seeing that Cao Su intends to test and teach many courtiers, they all silently drank wine and tea, and secretly observed.

However, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, no one dared to speak easily at this time.

In this situation, it seemed like an informal meeting, but the more informal it was, the more likely it was to leave a bad impression in King Yan's heart by saying something wrong.

Therefore, anyone with a little brain would not speak easily.

Cao Su looked at the invited civil and military men from the Manchu Dynasty, and was a little disappointed when he saw that none of them dared to speak.

"Why, no one can teach Gu?"

Cao Su put down his wine glass and frowned.

Immediately, an invisible pressure came from him, and all the officials at the banquet trembled, and some officials lowered their heads even more, fearing that they would be directly named by Cao Su.

Cao Su relaxed the request: "Today is a banquet, gentlemen, just say it's okay, whether it's feasible or not, whether it can be done or not, as long as you can make an argument, it's a small achievement."

When everyone heard that the conditions had been relaxed to such an extent, they felt a little relieved.
