He knew Chen Deng's purpose very well, but he scorned it.

A few vases could not reach his eyes.

"Since Mr. Cao is unwilling, I won't force myself to do so. I'll say goodbye!" Chen Deng cupped his hands and turned to leave, leaving only a confused Cao Ang.

Is this guy mentally ill?
But thinking of Chen Deng's attitude just now, Cao Ang vaguely felt that the other party's target was not himself, but Liu Yan?

Chen Deng's appearance was just an episode, and Cao Ang quickly forgot about it.

After having a full meal, Cao Ang rode his horse leisurely and rushed to the city lord's mansion.

When he arrived at the city lord's palace, he found that it was already crowded with people.

In addition to some ordinary people, there are also young men and women from nearby villages and ethnic groups. Most of them come to join in the fun.

"Hey, Brother Cao!" A familiar voice suddenly sounded.

Cao Ang turned around and saw Li Su standing beside him holding a birdcage.

"Hey, it turns out to be Brother Li Xian!" Cao Ang said with a smile, "Why don't you go in? Could it be that you were blocked from the door?"

"Brother Cao is joking." Li Su shook his head in embarrassment.

He is a typical second-generation dude, his parents are both officials, so he is used to being lawless and arrogant.

Cao Ang and Li Su were of the same age. They had played together and were considered friends.

Li Su has a lively and lively personality and likes to travel and run around, while Cao Ang is steady and down-to-earth.

Li Su pulled Cao Ang to the corner of the city lord's mansion and whispered: "Brother Cao, I heard that city lord Liu is hosting a banquet in the mansion tonight, and I specially invited you to the banquet!"

"Invite me?" Cao Ang was stunned.

Liu Yan was a famous Confucian scholar in Xiangyang, with high moral character and high respect.

How could he possibly invite Cao Ang to the banquet?

Besides, he and Liu Yan had never met, so how could they have any friendship?

"You didn't lie to me, did you?" Cao Ang asked suspiciously.

"Why are you lying to me?" Li Su rolled his eyes: "The news has spread all over the place. But we can't enter City Master Liu's banquet, so we can only watch the fun here."

"Oh, isn't that Li Su?" Someone suddenly shouted.

Li Su raised his head and saw a fat man walking towards him with a lewd smile on his face.

"Hey, Mr. Li, long time no see." The fat man rubbed his hands and walked up to Li Su, looking at Li Su with a smile.

"It's Boss Wang." Li Su looked unnatural and forced a smile: "Boss Wang, why are you here?"

"Hey, why can't I be here?" Boss Wang said in a matter-of-fact tone: "I am here to help on the order of City Lord Liu."

He looked at the people around him, then lowered his voice and said: "I heard that City Master Liu was going to entertain distinguished guests tonight, and he specifically asked me to bring out the best wine in my shop to entertain them. I wonder if Mr. Li can give it to me?" "

"This." Li Su looked hesitant.

"Brother Li, I think this little fat guy is probably a drunkard and is not interested in drinking. You'd better not go." Cao Ang dissuaded him from the side.

"Hmph, what do you know?" Boss Wang glanced at Cao Ang and said proudly: "I, Mr. Wang, sit upright and behave upright. I will never cheat or deceive, let alone plot evil!"

He stretched out his plump palm and patted his chest, and said righteously: "If anyone dares to slander Wang, I will never let him go!"

"cut."

Someone next to him immediately let out a sneer of disdain.

Boss Wang was unmoved at all, and continued to seduce Li Su, saying: "Master Li, I guarantee that Lord Liu's banquet will be absolutely wonderful!"

Li Su gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll just go with you."

Cao Ang was anxious: "Brother Li."

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Li Su smiled at Cao Ang and followed Boss Wang inside.

"Brother Li!" Cao Ang hurriedly chased after him, feeling something was wrong in his heart.

"Boss Wang, I'm warning you, if you dare to do anything to hurt Brother Li, I will never forgive you!" Cao Ang said angrily. "Brother, don't worry, I am a cultural person, how can I do such despicable and dirty things?"

Boss Wang vowed: "Besides, if I really dare to harm Mr. Li, why bother using such methods."

"Let's go, Mr. Li, City Lord Liu is inside." Boss Wang opened the door and stepped in first.

Cao Ang hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to stand where he was.

"Cao Ang?" But at this moment, a gloomy voice sounded from behind.

Cao Ang turned around and saw a well-dressed and well-groomed middle-aged man staring at him with a cold look on his face.

"Do you know me?" Cao Ang asked.

Although this man was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament, Cao Ang did not recognize him.

"hehe!"

Zhao Ren sneered: "I forgot, you are Cao Mengde's son, you have a distinguished status, how can you know a country man like me?"

Cao Ang frowned slightly: "Who are you? What advice do you want from me?"

He was sure he had never seen this man before.

Zhao Ren snorted coldly: "In that case, let me introduce myself. My surname is Zhao, with the single character "Ren", and I am a direct descendant of the Zhao family in Jiangdong!"

"Jiangdong Zhao family!" Cao Ang's pupils shrank suddenly.

The Zhao family is a wealthy family in Jiangzhou. They have been in the army for generations and have great power.

Cao Ang did not expect that the children of the Zhao family would find him.

"Cao Ang, you are so brave, how dare you kill my father!" Zhao Ren's eyes turned blood red and he gritted his teeth.

"Now I'll give you a chance, kneel down and die! Maybe I'll leave you with a whole body!"

Cao Ang suddenly felt something in his heart.

He remembered that in the previous battle, he seemed to have killed a general named Zhao.

Thinking of this, Cao Ang immediately chose to lie and deny. Naturally, he would not tell the true situation.

"Master Zhao, you must not accuse me unjustly!" Cao Ang denied flatly: "I never killed your father at all!"

"Not killed?"

The corner of Zhao Ren's mouth raised a ferocious arc, and he said coldly: "Okay, I will take you to a place, and you can tell yourself whether my father died by your sword!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Cao Ang's heart skipped a beat.

The Zhao family has already investigated clearly?

This is terrible!
Cao Ang took a deep breath and said to himself: "That's all. The soldiers are here to block the water and cover up the soil. I want to see what kind of medicine they sell in the gourd?"

He quickly caught up with Zhao Ren: "Okay, let's go then. I want to see what tricks you are playing?"

The two left the restaurant and walked straight north, crossing the streets and alleys, and soon arrived in front of a dilapidated courtyard.

Half of the courtyard wall collapsed, revealing a dark wall, and bursts of crying and howling could be heard from inside.

"This is."

Cao Ang's eyes flickered, looking at the dilapidated courtyard with some fear.

"There is a soldier of your Cao army imprisoned here. He saw with his own eyes that you killed my father." Zhao Ren smiled coldly and walked into the courtyard.

Cao Ang followed closely behind.

Zhao Ren immediately quickened his pace and quickly went deep inside, and an iron door appeared at the end.

Cao Ang looked at the iron gate in front of him and felt inexplicably uneasy. (End of chapter)
