Chapter 104
"Excellent, what's the specific situation?"

"Don't ask me about the specific situation. The owner of the restaurant is still here. I can't talk to you for too long. You can go to that kid Juehuang. He's grown up now, and he's a son-in-law in Cao's mansion. You can find him." , he is more informed than I am. By the way, he is now aliased as Huang Jue."

"Juehuang Huangjue, the name is really random." After ordering a few dishes and eating a few mouthfuls to pretend, Li Shou left Xiaoyaoju.

Afterwards, he inquired all the way and came to the gate of Cao Mansion.

The scale of this Cao Mansion is much larger than that of the Li Family in the Inner City of the previous world.

Because Zhou State's management here is not strict, the local gentry forces naturally formed.

Moreover, these places have great authority, own countless lands, and can support followers and a large number of private soldiers. It is simply a country within a country.

It's just that this is also a major force for Zhou Guo to fight against Qing Guo.

The local gentry's resistance to Qingguo was more intense than that of the frontier army and county soldiers.

Soldiers and horses in counties and counties sometimes still rely on food and salaries for food. After losing a battle here, they can continue to serve as soldiers and generals in another place.

But the gentry is different.

The gentry belonged to local forces, and all their wealth came from their private land. If they lost, they would lose everything.

Moreover, once the Qing Kingdom is successfully occupied, the oppression of the gentry will be severe, and all resources will be concentrated in the royal power. Under the restructuring of Shangjun, the local gentry will no longer have a foothold, and many people will have their homes ransacked or even exterminated.

Therefore, the local gentry of Zhou State spared no effort to resist the Qing army.

The Cao family is one of the famous gentry in Changping County.

Li Shou stood outside the gate of Cao's mansion, looking at the watchtowers and archery towers inside, lamenting that all the methods in the world seem to be not perfect, but they complement each other.

"The way of balance" pays attention to the mutual check and balance of all things in the world, which seems to be the most complicated rule.

"What are you doing standing outside the door?" Local gentry like the Cao Mansion are naturally heavily guarded. Li Shou only stood outside the door for a while, when private soldiers in armor stepped forward to question him.

"I'm looking for Huang Jue, I'm his friend."

"Wait."

The private soldier went back to report the letter, and after a while, Juehuang followed a young girl out of the room.

The girl walked in front, and he followed behind.

The girl looked about the same age as Jue Huang, also in her twenties and eight years, and because she came from a wealthy family, she had a very good temperament and a fair complexion.

'Overbearing girls always fall in love with me! '

Li Shou wanted to laugh when he saw this, but he held back, and greeted Jue Huang in half ancient and half plain language.

"Ahem, I have seen Mr. Huang."

"..." Jue Huang was a little embarrassed seeing Li Shou's teasing appearance, but he still held back his embarrassment and responded, "Long time no see, Mr. Li."

"Huang Lang, don't you want to introduce this brother?"

"Pfft ha ha ha ha..." Li Shou couldn't help laughing when he saw that the girl was called Jue Huang Huang Lang.

This attracted the attention of some people around. In Cao's mansion, even the powerful retainers looked over here from time to time, for fear that strangers would hurt the young lady.

"Why are you laughing, son?"

"It's okay." Li Shou collected his thoughts. This is the entrance of the Cao Mansion, and basic etiquette is still required. "It's just seeing an old friend, I feel happy, and I'm sorry."

"It's okay, the young master is also a person of temperament, the little girl Cao Muzhi has met the young master."

"I met Miss Cao."

"Muzhi, I want to chat with Brother Li, you..."

"Let's go into the mansion and chat, I'll arrange a quiet teahouse." While Cao Muzhi was speaking, he wanted to lure Li Shou into the mansion.

Li Shou naturally didn't shirk, and followed them in.

After entering, Li Shou felt the power of the Cao Mansion even more.

After entering, there are not only various watchtowers, but also many wooden figures made of mechanical techniques. There are not too many flowers and plants inside, but all kinds of weapons and utensils made of mechanical techniques, full of war style.

All kinds of mechanism techniques, together with private soldiers and retainers, have guarded this place like a fortress, and if the city is broken, it may not necessarily be broken here.

"Many people in the Qing Kingdom have desperadoes. The dead often come to our place to carry out assassinations. Don't be surprised, my lord."

The front hall is a mechanism art and an archery tower, and in the middle of the Cao Mansion is a huge martial arts arena.

There are two to three thousand elite soldiers trained inside.

A true city within a city, a country within a country.

"I've learned a lot!" Li Shou had never seen this kind of scene where thousands of private soldiers were raised at home, but only in history books.

Now that I see it with my own eyes, it's really a bit spectacular.

'Juehuang is a really big guy next to him.But the big family is as deep as the sea, and it has never been easy to get along with each other... The young lady in the big family has always been in a political marriage, and it is useless to give her heart to a poor boy, and I don't know how much this boy has suffered in order to complete the task. '

When Li Shou was thinking about it, a person in the martial arts field stepped forward and blocked the way of passing people.

"It's your surname Huang again! It's fine to sneak in by yourself, but you dare to bring strangers in this time!" The visitor looked Li Shou up and down, with unfriendly eyes.

"Fifth Brother, this is Huang Lang's friend."

"What bullshit Huang Lang! It means that your mother died early, and your father doted on you. If you were replaced by the second sister, this kid would have died eight hundred times in our Cao Mansion. The surname Huang is not a good person, and I think his friends are too. Like a Qing country spy!"

"What should I do?" Li Shou looked at the ferocious image of the faultfinder in front of him, and he understood part of Juehuang's difficulties. He didn't want to cause trouble for the other party, so he hurried over and asked in a low voice: "Should I endure it, or let you go?" Strong face?"

"Give me some face, my fucking status here is lower than a dog, but be careful not to injure or kill people..."

"understood!"

"What are you two muttering about? Are you giving secret signals to Qingguo?"

"Deliberately find fault and find a better reason? If we were Qing Guo's secret agents, we wouldn't show up in such an attention-grabbing way. What do you want to say, do you want to give it a try?"

With Jue Huang's approval, Li Shou stepped forward to provoke directly.

The fifth member of the Cao family was taken aback when he heard this, looked Li Shou up and down, and then glanced at the thousands of private soldiers over there, in full view, it was up to him to say whether he would try it or not.

"How courageous! Come on, in the Martial Arts Arena, life and death are irrelevant!"

"Row."

"Huang Lang, this young master..." Cao Muzhi still wanted to stop him, but Juehuang shook his head, "It's fine."

Li Shou followed the fifth child of the Cao family to the martial arts arena.

In front of thousands of private soldiers, the opponent stepped forward and pulled out a long-handled battle ax as a weapon.

"You pick your weapon, don't say I bully you."

"Haha, no need, I'm used to fighting with my bare hands!"

"Okay, let me see if your mouth can still be so hard when you die?"

After the two opened up the distance in the field, in the eyes of everyone, the fifth son of the Cao family took the lead in attacking.

The long-handled battle ax swept forward, full of momentum.

'That's right, no wonder you are so arrogant, this strength is much stronger than the great martial artists in the world, but the overall strength is slightly inferior to Zan Gudu. 'When he didn't practice a month ago, Li Shou could easily handle Zan Gu.

After this month of training, his defense and strength have improved a lot, and he is not afraid at all.

He didn't dodge or dodge at the moment, and directly resisted the sweeping attack.

"Dang" sound.

The battle ax swept across Li Shou's waist, making the sound of metal and iron clanging.

This time the attack was powerful and heavy, and the sound naturally spread throughout the audience.
