Chapter 31
That night, the news was sent back to Longmenguan by special means, and was received by Cao Shaoqin, the governor of the East Factory.

Cao Shaoqin was visiting Longmen Pass at this time.

He was sitting on the upper teacher's chair with an old spirit, blowing the tea in the cup calmly.

As the supervisor of the East Factory, although he also has the habit of putting on paint and powder, but sitting there alone, he naturally raises a calm and majestic demeanor, like a tiger lying on the post.

Cao Shaoqin was born in the hidden residence of Emperor Jingnan, and was the first eunuch to follow Emperor Jingnan. He was especially proficient in martial arts. He was taught martial arts by Yao Guangxiao, the prime minister in black. His martial arts are naturally unpredictable, and he has always been Emperor Jingnan's personal guard.

During the Battle of Jingnan, Emperor Jianwen repeatedly sent well-known and upright masters to assassinate Emperor Jingnan. Many dangers were blocked by this person, and he won the trust of Emperor Jingnan.

And he himself didn't want to live up to this trust, and capturing Xu Huizu's sons and daughters became his obsession that must be fulfilled, and he swore in his heart that he would never leave a single bit of trouble to His Majesty.

Therefore, in this operation, he did not hesitate to rely on the power of the country to force the frontier army of the Song Dynasty to cooperate with the operation, and he must complete the task!
Sitting next to him, General Shi, the guard of Longmen Gate, was arguing endlessly with Song Ting Zhao Zhifu.

"What?! Ask our soldiers from Longmen Pass to cooperate with him in besieging the Longmen Inn?! Are you kidding me? Why do we Song soldiers obey the orders of an eunuch from his Daming Kingdom!"

Zhao Zhifu said righteously: "Now Da Ming is discussing with this dynasty to join forces against the invasion of the Kingdom of Jin. We just need help with some minor matters in the world. How can we rebel against the Ming envoy? General Shi, you want to destroy our dynasty and Daming Kingdom Is it a friendly relationship with you? Can you bear this responsibility!"

General Shi opened his eyes, then looked at Cao Shaoqin again, his face fluctuating from green to red.

As a general of the Great Song Dynasty, he had to be restrained by foreign eunuchs. General Shi felt a sense of shame and humiliation in his heart, but the civil servants of the dynasty were already so humble, so what could he do as a military general?

In the Song Dynasty, the military was governed by literature, and the life and death of the generals were all in the court. Since the magistrate came with the documents from the court, even if he, General Shi, led the troops, there was nothing he could do.

Immediately he gritted his teeth, looked at Cao Shaoqin and said, "I don't know what bullshit your Daming's Dongchang is! It's no problem for you to arrest your Daming's criminals! But the rest of the Longmen Inn are not allowed to move!"

Cao Shaoqin chuckled, and put down his teacup, "It would be fine if the Longmen Inn didn't shelter the imperial convicts, but if they join forces with the imperial convicts to fight against the officers and soldiers, I don't know if General Shi intends to favor these bandits?"

Before General Shi could speak, the Prefect Zhao immediately said sharply: "I heard that the Longmen Inn is full of filth, and even merchants often disappear here for no reason. General Shi, why do you keep this kind of black shop? Why didn't you wipe it out sooner? !"

General Shi's mother criticized him in his heart, and thought to himself: The reason why Lao Tzu's soldiers are strong and strong, and the Liao Kingdom and Meng Yuan dare not come to attack Caogu and invade us, is not because I raised soldiers with the money obtained from the Longmen Inn!You let me wipe out my parents?

But right now he didn't dare not agree, because if he didn't agree, the civil servant next to him would play a book, and he would be the general.

He said in his mouth: "There is no evidence to prove that Longmen Inn is doing some illegal activities. From here to the Western Regions, it is a thousand miles away, and there are not many inns in the middle. Longmen Inn is the last supply of merchants coming out of Guanzhong. The relationship is important, and of course it cannot be lightly moved."

Zhao Zhifu angrily scolded: "What are you going to do!"

General Shi looked at Cao Shaoqin and said in a deep voice, "If they really help the imperial convicts of the Ming Dynasty, then they can only obey orders."

Cao Shaoqin nodded in satisfaction, "Then can we send troops tomorrow?"

General Shi laughed aloud, "The military pay has just been paid these two days, and the bastards below probably have let the wind go. Even if the troops gather tomorrow, it will take the day after tomorrow to set off."

Cao Shaoqin's eyes darkened, and he said: "The day after tomorrow, I will wait for the general at the school grounds."

With a flick of his sleeves as he spoke, the mahogany table in the hall fell apart silently and collapsed to the ground.It seems that the table itself is assembled from this pile of torn parts, and now it is just a restoration.

General Shi and Zhifu Zhao were shocked. This mahogany table is made of solid wood, which is even harder to break than solid stone, let alone shake it into parts silently.

This requires not only deep internal strength, but also sufficient control over the internal strength, so that it can be accurately distributed to every corner of the table to be successful.

Cao Shaoqin can do this with just a flick of his sleeve, this level of cultivation is really terrifying.

General Shi had a bad feeling, so he sent someone to inform Jin Xiangyu that night.

Jin Xiangyu received a letter from General Shi, looked at the house where Zhou Huaian and others lived, and felt a little conflicted.

According to her original character, she didn't have to hesitate at all, and used the smoke to numb the entire group at night, and then handed it over to the people in Dongchang, maybe she could even get a reward.

But at this moment, she didn't want to do this. She had already eavesdropped on the reason why Zhou Huaian and others escaped here through the special mechanism at the secret passage. It would be impossible for her not to have sympathy.

In addition, she also fell in love with Zhou Huai'an at first sight, and she was even more reluctant to betray them.

Jin Xiangyu said to the disguised soldier: "Go back and tell your general, I know how to deal with it, I won't make things difficult for him."

It was destined that many people would not be able to sleep peacefully that night. Jia Ting, the head of the Dongchang stall, found Jin Xiangyu later, and bribed her with 500 taels of silver to help drug Zhou Huaian and others.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Huai'an came to drink with Jin Xiangyu again. He also tried to see if there were other secret ways to leave here to reach the desert farther away. At the same time, he took 1000 taels of silver to buy it.

Good guy, after looking at Jin Xiangyu, the price offered by this family is higher, and the most important thing is that she prefers men to eunuchs.

So he accepted the bank note, agreed to it, and asked to pay homage tomorrow. Only when Zhou Huai'an married her would he tell Zhou Huai'an the secret way.

Zhou Huaian pondered for a moment, and finally pretended to agree. In short, he must first find a way to leave safely, and then consider other things.

He and Qiu Moyan had considered going out by force, but they had no supplies. In addition, there were many people coming from Dongchang this time. The three major ranks were all first-class masters, and the rest of the black knights were all elites. They fought hard to win. not big.

So I can only think of a way through gold and jade...

After communicating with Jin Xiangyu, Zhou Huaian originally wanted to go back and tell Qiu Moyan about the false marriage, but when he passed by Li Xuange's room, he heard a strange singing voice from the room, obviously this mysterious swordsman hadn't fallen asleep yet.

His mind moved, and he secretly thought: Cao Shaoqin hasn't come here yet, he might use the prestige of the Ming Dynasty to force the frontier army of the Song Dynasty to cooperate with us to encircle and suppress us.

Regardless of whether the operation is successful or not tomorrow, there will be dangers everywhere, and there may be a fight with Dongchang at any time.

Among the three top players, Jia Ting alone can draw with me, and the other two, Lu Xiaochuan and Cao Tian, ​​are not ordinary people!

Once they start a strong attack, even if it is a victory, it will only be a miserable victory. If they can get the help of the number one swordsman in the desert, at least the chance of success will be greater.

With such a change of thought, Zhou Huaian immediately knocked on the door of Li Xuange's room.

This move made the already restless night even more eerie.

It seems that there is an ear behind every door, paying attention to the situation here.

Li Xuange's voice came from inside the room, "Who, you came to disturb my elegant mood in the middle of the night!"
