Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 364 Big Iron Cone

"As ordered!"

Under the guidance of Heizhi Changzhi, Cao Wenzong walked into the small hall. There was only one table in the room with two round stools beside the table. Wang Wenzuo sat by the table, looking empty.He held a bulging cloth bag under his left arm, and instead of saluting to Wang Wenzuo, he just bowed and said, "I've seen you, Mr. Wang!"

"Cao Shifan, you came really early!" Wang Wenzuo smiled, and pointed to the small pot on the table with his chopsticks: "I guess you haven't had breakfast yet? This chicken porridge tastes good, would you like some?"

"Thank you, sir!" This time, Cao Wenzong did not have the humility of the past. He went straight to the table, stretched out his right hand, picked up a piece of cooking cake with donkey meat and ate it, but still held the cloth bag under his left arm. Wang Wenzuo saw He didn't get angry, he opened his mouth and smiled: "Changzhi, ask the kitchen to bring some more pancakes and donkey meat. Cao Shifan is a warrior, so he must have a big appetite."

Just as Wang Wenzuo guessed, Cao Wenzong's appetite was really not small. Not only did he eat up the new pot of porridge and half a basket of donkey meat, but he also wiped out the original food on the table. , Are you full? Do you want some more?"

"No need, I'm almost six or seven minutes full!" Cao Wenzong patted his belly: "Cao is a coward, please forgive me for being rude just now!"

"No problem!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "When I was in the army, I didn't talk about any complicated etiquette. We gathered around the fire and roasted a wild boar. Everyone cut a piece. Seeing you today reminds me of the old things in Baekje." , on the contrary, it is very kind!"

"Mr. Lang is killing thieves for the country. His arrogance on the battlefield is unmatched by villains!" Cao Wenzong said in a deep voice: "The villain thought about what Mr. Lang said yesterday for a long time, and entrusted his life to his children. You accept it!"

"That's great!" When Wang Wenzuo saw Cao Wenzong coming, he had already guessed the purpose of his visit, and said with a smile: "Mr. Cao has excellent swordsmanship, and he will definitely be able to help Mr. Wang!"

"Swordsmanship, crossbow shooting, and bidding are nothing but trivial skills!" Cao Wenzong said proudly: "Since Cao has entrusted his life, he should be the precursor of the lord, so that no one dares to be the face of the lord!"

Hearing Cao Wenzong's words, Wang Wenzuo frowned slightly, thinking that Heizhi Changzhi was right. He was humble and cautious before, just like a master Lin who possessed great skills, but he hadn't seen him all night, but this The tone is like a temple that has experienced a snowstorm.

Seeing this, Cao Wenzong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, can you just say big things for Cao? It's okay, you can give it a try!"

"Lang Jun, let me try this guy's skills!" Hei Chi Chang Zhi said in a low voice.

Wang Wenzuo had seen the martial arts of Xiaoman and Wu Xiaoyi before, and they were really extraordinary. It is expected that the disciples are like this, and the teacher must be even more rare.

"That's okay, this black-toothed brother is Wang's good friend, and he has excellent martial arts skills, so let's try it out with Cao Shifan!" Wang Wenzuo stood up and pointed to the courtyard outside: "How about staying in this courtyard?"

Cao Wenzong nodded, and walked into the courtyard, followed by Hei Chi Chang Zhi, who drew his saber from his waist and concentrated his attention on guard.

"Brother Black Tooth, you'd better change to a long weapon!" Cao Wenzong shook his head: "Or call a few more people!"

Hei Chi Chang's face changed slightly. Of course he knew that if the two of them fought with each other, if their martial arts were similar, the winning rate of using two-handed long weapons such as long spears and Mo Dao was much higher than that of using short weapons such as one-handed swords. Cao Wenzong didn't have a long spear in his hand, so Said that he thought his martial arts far surpassed himself.

"No need, you will only know who is strong and who is weak after fighting!" Hei Chi Chang Zhi said coldly.

"Brother Black Tooth, it is better to change weapons!" Cao Wenzong untied the cloth bag in his left hand while talking: "I am not relying on you, even if you use a long spear, I have taken advantage of it."

"what is this?"

As the cloth bag was untied, both Wang Wenzuo and Hei Chi Changzhi couldn't help but widen their eyes. It turned out that what Cao Wenzong was holding in his left arm was an iron awl, which weighed about thirty kilograms in size. The iron awl was attached to an iron chain. Folded and surrounded, it seemed to be at least one foot long. Cao Wenzong exhaled and made a sound, and suddenly roared. With a flick of his right wrist, he threw the iron awl out, and saw a flash of black light, and Hei Chi Chang Zhi's side and rear A small tree was broken, and then pulled hard, and the iron awl was withdrawn, only a click sound was heard, the small tree broke in two, and fell to the ground with a bang, splashing dust all over the sky.

Hei Chi Chang Zhi's face suddenly turned pale, his right hand holding the saber trembled uncontrollably, and he was speechless.Of course he knew that if Cao Wenzong's awl hit him just now, he would be like a small tree behind him.It should be noted that the weight of one-handed swords in ancient and modern China and foreign countries is similar, generally between two catties and four catties, because wielding a sword requires the strength of the wrist, and the speed is too slow if it is heavier, and it is too disadvantageous in close combat.Only a very small number of warriors with astonishing arm strength can surpass this limit. For example, Li Cheng, a puppet Qi general in the Southern Song Dynasty, was so powerful that he could draw a bow of three hundred catties and wield two swords in his hand. Both weighed seven catties. Even Song Gaozong lamented that this person's bravery was not for his own use.And the weight of Cao Wenzong's iron awl is nearly ten times that of an ordinary sword, any blocking or calling is useless, and judging from his technique and speed of the shot just now, it must be too late to dodge when he sees the shot, no wonder he said just now I took advantage of the weapons, and asked Hei Chi Chang Zhi to change the spears or call a few more people.

"It was surprisingly difficult for me just now, Brother Heitooth can change to a long spear and try again!" Cao Wenzong said.

"No need!" Hei Chi Changzhi shook his head: "If it was a real fight, I would already be dead. Besides, with my arm strength, I definitely can't throw such a heavy iron awl out so quickly and then draw it back again. It is indeed far above me!"

"Yes, yes, there is no need to compete, there is no need to compete! General Cao really deserves his reputation!" Wang Wenzuo hurriedly stopped. He was actually the one who was most nervous just now. Zhizhi's martial arts in the army swept away his prestige, but he didn't expect this guy to come up with such a big weapon. No wonder he said that swordsmanship, crossbow shooting, and bidding are all tricks. Compared with this thirty-pound iron cone, All weapons are trails.This Cao Wenzong looks listless on weekdays, he didn't expect there to be such a big guy at the bottom of the box!

"Don't dare!" Cao Wenzong put away the iron awl and bowed down to Wang Wenzuo: "This iron awl is a martial art handed down from the villain's family. It's just that he offended his enemies in Jianghuai in the early years, so he had to go west to avoid disaster. This iron awl It is too conspicuous, afraid of attracting enemies, so I have to put it away and use other weapons!"

"Even a tough man like you has to hide his name to avoid misfortune, who did you offend back then!" Wang Wenzuo secretly slandered, but smiled in his mouth: "It's okay, since you work for me, naturally you don't have to worry about old enemies coming to seek revenge on you .”

"Thank you benefactor for your protection!" Cao Wenzong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Please get up, please get up!" Wang Wenzuo stretched out his hand to help Cao Wenzong up: "From now on, you will obey my orders!"

"Subordinates obey!"

Seeing off Cao Wenzong, Wang Wenzuo walked to the broken tree, looked carefully at the fracture for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "Chang Zhi, this martial art of Cao Wenzong is really unimaginable, I really don't know how to practice it." If it is done, he will run away to avoid disaster, who did he offend in the first place?"

"Lang Jun!" Black-toothed Chang Zhi said: "Even a ferocious beast like a tiger can only run away when it encounters a pack of wolves on the flat ground. Cao Wenzong's martial arts, if he is in a battle to kill the enemy or as an assassin, he is of course invincible in the world. But a hero can't stand the crowd, as long as twenty or thirty archers surround him, if he doesn't escape, he will only die! Not to mention that the enemy doesn't have to fight with him, there are too many ways to poison, set fire, trap, and frame him. Kill him, no matter how powerful he is, he is still a body of flesh and blood, so what else can we do if we don’t run away?”

"That's true!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "However, we still need to find out his details, otherwise he won't feel at ease if he uses it!"

"My subordinate understands!"

----------------

Daming Palace.

Sitting in front of the case, Mrs. Wu was flipping through the memorials. Beside the case was a female official, holding her breath and sitting motionless. If it wasn't for the chest heaving caused by breathing, it would almost make people think it was a sculpture.

"Hmm—" Mrs. Wu suddenly slapped the memorial in his hand on several cases, and his dull nasal voice was full of anger: "Let those two little sluts escape? You can't do such a small thing well, what a waste! Dispose of it all Already!"

"Observe the order!" The female officer responded, and quickly wrote a note, Wu took it over, looked at it, and nodded: "Just deal with it like this!"

The female officer responded, and took it back and simply copied it down, and then wrote it out in the official script commonly used in court documents at that time. She saw that she didn't add dots, and finished writing it in a short while, and then put it aside. Wu looked at it and smiled. He said: "Okay, okay, everyone in the world says that women are inferior to men, but even among the scholars in the class, there are not many people who can compare with you in terms of literary talent!"

"It's all about the empress's love!" the female officer lowered her head and said in a low voice.

"You are also a rare talent, a rare talent!" Wu said with a smile: "If you talk about talent, recently I know someone who can compare with you, but it's a pity that he is a man!"

The female officer raised her head, showing a beautiful face, and said in a low voice: "It must be good if the empress can like it!"

"That's right!" Wu sighed: "It's a pity that this kind of talent is prepared for Hong'er after all!" She smiled: "Today I will test you on one thing, if it is you, how to deal with it ?”

The female officer knew that what Wu said was about the escape of the two enemy's daughters, she pondered for a while and said: "These two have never been out of the palace, and they don't know much about the outside situation, so the government only needs to offer a reward for their arrest." , it is not difficult to get it!"

"The government is offering a reward for arrest? Hahaha!" Mrs. Wu shook her head and laughed, "Forget it, you still have too little experience. If it was Wang Wenzuo, you would definitely not answer like that!"

When the female officer heard Wang Wenzuo's name, she knew that it was the talent Wu said just now that she could be compared with her, so she couldn't help but have a winning idea in her heart: "Please teach me!"

"If the government wants to offer a reward for their arrest, the appearance, crimes, and whereabouts of these two sluts must be made public. Do you think this is good?"

"This—" the female officer was dumbfounded.

"Of course these two little sluts deserve to be killed! But the problem is that they are His Majesty's flesh and blood relatives no matter what. It is definitely inappropriate to offer a reward to the public like this. Don't forget that there are countless pairs of eyes in Chang'an City. Are you opening your eyes to see if I am right?"

"What about Li Sujie? Why can't it be the same as dealing with Li Sujie?"

"You mean to implicate those two little sluts in the treason case?" Wu smiled and shook his head: "It's a good idea, but it's a pity that it's too early to use it now!"

"Too early?" the female officer asked curiously

"Yes, if it takes another three or four years, it will be fine. To be exact, those two little sluts are married and have a husband's family!"

"Married, have a husband's family?"

"That's right, let me ask you, why did I involve Li Sujie in this case? And then deal with him? Because it was allowed by His Majesty, at least by default. Why did His Majesty allow it? Because Li Sujie's growing age has already threatened Hong'er, I killed him to eliminate potential threats for Hong'er. This is what His Majesty wants to do, so I can do it boldly. But these two little sluts are different. Without their husband's family, they would have no Foreign aid, and there are not many confidantes around. Since they have no threat to Hong'er, His Majesty will not allow anyone to involve them in the treason case, even if they are involved, no one will believe it! Do you understand?"

"Your Majesty means that you can only do things that His Majesty allows!"

"Yes, you have to remember that everything I do is allowed by His Majesty! Although His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, there are some things that he is inconvenient or unable to do, so I, the queen, do it for him. As for letting those two little sluts become monks, His Majesty actually acquiesced, after all, as long as they don’t get married, they won’t get involved in those things!”

"I see, how should we deal with this matter? Should we just leave it alone?"

"Of course not, it's just that it can't be done through the government. You ask Liu Nei Mansion to issue a reward document, saying that the two servants escaped from the family, and you can get rid of their situation, and just offer a reward of two hundred guan!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" the female officer bowed her head in complete convincing.

Jin Ren asked about the mansion.

"These are all people who have learned martial arts from their subordinates!" Cao Wenzong said with his head bowed.

"Well, well, not bad, not bad!" Wang Wenzuo looked at the more than [-] tough and vicious young men in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction: "There are so many, General Cao, you have cultivated a lot of talents over the years!"

"In fact, there are more than [-] people. They heard that Baekje is far away, so they don't want to come!" Cao Wenzong said.

"It's not surprising! It's true that Baekje is farther away than Anxi!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "But don't worry, there are advantages to being far away, and they will definitely regret it in the future!"

"Regret?" Wu Xiaoyi, who was standing beside Cao Wenzong, showed a surprised look: "I'm afraid they won't have a chance to regret it?"

"No chance of regret? What does that mean?"

"Reporting to my lord, Xiao Yi has already killed those who refused!" Cao Wenzong said.
