Chapter 76: A World Where Only the Demon Cult Was Injured
The lower his attitude, the more troublesome things will become.
Cao Jinxing took a deep breath and said, "Lord Hou, you can see that there is no one in the hall. I'll be frank! I just came back from suppressing the rebellion in Miaojiang. I'm very tired now. I just want to rest and don't want to get involved in anything with anyone! Do you understand me?"
Just play your own game and don't involve me!
Cao Jinxing turned and left.
"No, not before."
Hou Rong said quickly, "I want to ask Lord Cao for advice on "Song of the Siege of the Snowy City"..."
“…”
Cao Jinxing paused.
A look of despair on his face.
Oh shit!
I knew this song was not about fifteen taels of silver! I played it once today, and it was actually related to the Northwest Frontier Army. This damn blessing is too mysterious!
"never heard of that."
Cao Jinxing continued walking.
"Master Cao is joking."
Hou Rong swore, "You don't know, my ancestral home is Chang'an, and my school originated from the Louguan Dao of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the three great masters of the Kaiyuan period entered the Tang Dynasty and competed with the Heavenly Master Ye Jingneng but was defeated one by one by the Heavenly Master with "Song of the Besieged City in Snowland"!
During that competition, the Heavenly Master's extraordinary skills caused the sky and earth to change color, and seven inches of snow fell throughout the entire Chang'an City. All the onlookers were stunned!
The founder was one of the few people who were fortunate enough to listen to this divine song. Unfortunately, his power was not strong enough at that time. Even though he tried his best, he could only hear the first few notes and then he was immersed in the artistic conception and couldn't extricate himself.
After the Heavenly Master retired, this song disappeared from the world. The founder became obsessed with it and devoted his life to recreating the Heavenly Master's unique art.
He learned ice-based martial arts, sonic skills, and Taoist music, and sought out other listeners to restore them, all for the song "Snowy Siege" that influenced his life!
The passage you played today is exactly the same as the one passed down by our ancestor! I beg Master Cao to teach me and fulfill my long-cherished wish. I will give you a valuable gift!"
He bowed again.
The attitude is impeccable.
It’s a pity that Cao Jinxing knew what kind of person he was - how could someone who could get along so well with Qiu Luan be a good person?
Even if he could talk a lot, Cao Jinxing would never teach him the song.
Sooner or later, these people will be dead and gone. If you are associated with them, there will inevitably be consequences. Calculating the time, it won’t be long before Qiu Luan is “opened and mutilated”…
Even if we take a step back, given his character that he had revealed in the past by murdering and robbing people, even if it was rumored that he was telling the truth, people would probably think he was hiding it.
Since there's no good in it anyway, why spread it?
"you're right."
Cao Jinxing simply turned around and faced him: "I do know how to do it, and I have learned it completely."
Hou Rong was overjoyed.
“But I don’t want to teach…”
Cao Jinxing put his hand on the hilt of the knife and said expressionlessly, "What do you think? Lord Hou is also going to attack me and force me to surrender?"
The air suddenly froze!
A vague murderous intent filled the hall. Cao Jinxing stared at him coldly, with two cold stars in his eagle eyes.
If you dare to do anything, I will destroy him!
Hou Rong was shocked.
I didn’t expect Cao Jinxing to be so tough all of a sudden!
Hou Rong narrowed his eyes and said, "Lord Cao, it's just a piece of music. When I learn it, I will use it to achieve merit. Then my general and I... will thank you."
“No need.”
Cao Jinxing smiled and said, "You don't have to beat around the bush. You just want to say that you are Qiu Luan's confidant? I suddenly thought of something funny. Do you think it is more effective for you to spread rumors, or for me to report to the Pacification Office? If it really comes to the emperor, will the emperor believe the general or the commander?"
“…”
Hou Rong's face froze.
No matter how favored Qiu Luan is, he can never compare with Lu Bing.
The answer is obvious.
"I told you clearly that I don't want to get involved, but you still keep pestering me! In that case, I think I should just say it clearly."
Cao Jinxing stared at him, and said slowly and coldly: "If you have the ability, go find Qiu Luan to help you, but it's best not to let me know! If you force me, I will take the initiative to go to the northwest next time, bring a hundred or eighty brothers, and help the emperor check the "military pay"... Do you understand?"
"?!!!"
Hou Rong's heart skipped a beat!
He he he!
Did he know...
Hou Rong's face turned pale, and Cao Jinxing was terrified when he saw that things were not going well...
Don't push them into a corner and kill them to silence them. Quickly add a sentence as if nothing had happened :
"During the reign of Emperor Taizu, anyone who embezzled 60 taels of silver would be punished by skinning and stuffing with straw. Even if a general is honest and upright, I'm afraid he can't be spotless."
oh……
It turns out that it’s just this…
Hou Rong breathed a sigh of relief, which scared me.
Cao Jinxing was relieved to see that he had calmed down, which scared me!
"My general is dedicated to the public and is honest and upright! Lord Cao must have made a wrong calculation!"
Hou Rong spoke righteously.
Cao Jinxing opened his mouth and wanted to scold him, but he was afraid of scaring him again, so he gritted his teeth and endured it. He thought he wouldn't dare to go too far, and he would probably turn back soon...
"But! I thought about it and realized that it was indeed my fault for being too hasty and causing Lord Cao to misunderstand me. It's just a piece of music. It's not worth it for you and I to argue about it. I'll apologize first."
Hou Rong didn't dare to bring trouble upon himself and Qiu Luan because of such a small matter, so he had to admit defeat.
Cao Jinxing was too lazy to confront them, so he gave them a way out: "I am also wrong. However, "Song of the Siege of the Snowy Land" is a taboo in our sect, and it really cannot be passed on to others. Please forgive me, sir."
You are a Jinyiwei who climbed up from the bottom, where did your master come from? Where your taboos come from? !
Tell lies with open eyes!
Hou Rong was furious, but he had to apologize on his face, saying "Yes, yes, yes, I am sorry for being rude. Then I won't disturb Lord Cao's rest. I will leave first."
"Sir, take care."
Cao Jinxing said casually: "By the way, you can go to Langya Pavilion to ask. Maybe my master has a copy handed down from generation to generation. Aren't they known to know everything? It's just a matter of paying a little more money."
"rational."
Hou Rong's eyes lit up: "I'll go first."
"No."
While waiting for Rong to turn around and leave, Cao Jinxing sneered: "Know everything? If they knew even this, they would have to build a Langhuan blessed land at the foot of Langya Mountain to include all the martial arts in the world... They can't even build the secret library of the Zhenfu Division with the power of the royal family, so how can they rely on a Langya Pavilion? What does he know! But it's none of my business..."
Finally got through with this.
If you still want it, go find Langya Pavilion and don’t bother me!
Cao Jinxing was exhausted and still had lingering fears: "I should try to avoid taking advantage of opportunities in the future. It's better to just use my merits to exchange for them. This is too damn thrilling..."
…
Hou Rong left the inn with a sad face.
Cao Jinxing's identity is too special. Even if he relies on Qiu Luan, he dare not confront him head-on. Moreover, after being threatened, he had to hide the fact that he destroyed the [Burning Flame Insect]... When that kid said he wanted to go to the northwest, his tone was very serious!
If you really go there, it would be like planting willows without any intention and they will grow into a forest!
This is absolutely not possible!
I originally wanted to use "Song of the Siege of the Snowy Region" to offset the loss of the [Flame Bug], but now that this path is not feasible, how to explain this to Qiu Luan has become a problem...
Five thousand taels of gold are just wasted!
Years of accumulation!
My calves shiver when I think about it!
He couldn't bear this responsibility, and neither could the Huainan Yang family. Fortunately, there was the Demon Cult, and they could push the blame onto them...
suddenly see the light!
Hou Rong clapped his hands and quickly pulled the three guards together to make a coherent statement!
The Huainan Yang family thus escaped a disaster.
Cao Jinxing is fine.
Hou Rong can handle it on his own.
Only the Demon Sect was hated by Qiu Luan for no reason, and they gnashed their teeth in hatred, but they themselves didn't even know it...
…
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, in order to prevent any further trouble, Cao Jinxing rode back to the Zhenfu Division as fast as he could. Liu Zhenyuan was waiting for him, and rewards and awards for his meritorious service were also waiting for him.
