Chapter 570
With the news that King Chang sold the Wang family in a counterattack, and that Fu Junmao, a disciple of Cailin, the great master of Goguryeo, was serving the first emperor, the small families who had been sneaking out of the city no longer had the slightest cover.

When a rout becomes a torrent, no one can stop it.

Not long after, the news that Wang Shangwen, the Patriarch of the Wang Family, hanged himself on the southeast branch came out, which relieved the little family who had been hesitant.Even the Wang family among the three surnames has fallen, who else can compete with the first emperor.With the Cao family alone, can he do it?
No one doubted that with the fall of the Wang family, the downfall of the Cao family was only a matter of time, and no one doubted whether the first emperor would take action against the Cao family.This family alliance was originally led by the Cao Wang family. After the defeat, anyone may escape the punishment of the First Emperor, but the Cao Wang family is absolutely impossible to escape.

In a luxurious courtyard in Changping, Cao Gong sat quietly in his study, holding an ancient bamboo slip from the Spring and Autumn Period in his hand.Opposite him, an old housekeeper looked nervous and whispered: "Master, the head of the Wang family has hanged himself."

Duke Cao's hand paused for a moment, and then said calmly: "Got it."

His demeanor was indifferent, as if he had just heard dispensable news.The peace of mind, there is no possibility of imminent death excitement.

At least the steward of the Cao family couldn't help being stunned in the face of Duke Cao's indifferent attitude.

The Cao family and the Wang family now share weal and woe. The destruction of the Wang family is a huge blow to the Cao family, and to some extent it also heralds the future of the Cao family.Even if he was just an ordinary steward of the Cao family, he could imagine who the first emperor would attack next.

But in the face of the coming disaster, Cao Gong behaved too calmly, so calmly that people could not understand.

"Someone has to make sacrifices, doesn't it?" Mr. Cao casually glanced at the bewildered steward, his voice flat and unwavering.His endless words made the steward even more puzzled, but the steward saw Duke Cao's attitude and knew that it was impossible for the other party to explain to him a small person.He didn't ask any further questions, and didn't dare to stay in the room any longer, so he retreated respectfully.

On that day, all kinds of things that happened in Pingchang City spread to all parts of the world at an incredible speed.At this time, Zhou Changan, who gathered the most young talents in Kyushu, naturally paid close attention to everything that happened in Pingchang City.

Chang'an, Dian Ke Department, an independent house.

Several sons of the Li family sat around a crimson Eight Immortals table. On the Eight Immortals table was a bronze golden toad incense burner. Green smoke swirled from the incense burner like a gray dragon.Beside the incense burner, there is also a short letterhead, which is the latest news from Dajin.

Li Yuanji put down the letterhead, frowned, and said, "The patriarchs of King Cao's family hanged themselves to death, Xiao, Liu, Yang and other aristocratic families were wiped out, and the first emperor burned the letters copied from King Cao's family in public. They surrendered one after another. Damn it, I thought they could hold the first emperor's energy, but I didn't expect it to be so useless."

"It's not that they are useless, but that they underestimated the determination of Emperor Shihuang." Li Shimin shook his head slightly, seeming to sigh with emotion.

He asked himself, if he sat in that position, facing the joint sanctions of the world's aristocratic families, he would never be able to be as ruthless and decisive as Mo Chen.This matter seems easy, but if any link is missed, it will inevitably turn the world against each other. By then, even if the first emperor suppresses the world's aristocratic families with his invincible cultivation, Da Jin will be powerless to recover.

But it was this almost unsolvable situation. With a decision that surpassed everyone's imagination, Emperor Shihuang quickly shattered the ambition of the family alliance, and used incredible and crazy methods to turn the tide and frighten the heroes.

Li Shimin can fully imagine that no one in the Jin Dynasty would dare to resist the first emperor from now on.

"It's just a pity, Mr. Cao." Li Jiancheng glanced at the last sentence of the letter. All the people who were in charge of the Cao family had fled Dajin in this battle. Someone once found traces of the Cao family on the border of Dazhou, and sighed.

"What do you mean, brother?" Li Yuanji was full of doubts, not knowing what Li Jiancheng meant.

Cao Wang's family was destroyed, and almost half of the nine families of the three surnames in the Jin Dynasty were wiped out. It is a blessing in misfortune that the Cao family can escape some of the principals. Why is it a pity for Duke Cao?

If it was normal, even if Li Yuanji didn't understand, he would definitely not speak in front of his two elder brothers.But since the news of Wu Meiniang's competition for recruiting relatives came out, Li Yuanji seemed to be a different person, immersed in the ocean of learning all day long, completely different from Li Yuanji who used to love cockfights, walking dogs, and carousing with prostitutes.

Whenever he encounters a problem nowadays, Li Yuanji will never give up until he finds the answer.

"Cao Gong is looking for death." Li Jiancheng sighed, showing admiration.

The person in charge of the Cao family was able to escape, indicating that Cao Gong had already seen today's scene.Now that he had seen it, he went to Pingchang to die, not because he was lucky, but because he knew that someone in the Cao family must shed blood, and someone must sacrifice himself to embellish the throne of the first emperor.

This person's status cannot be too low, otherwise the anger of Emperor Shihuang would never be appeased.

Since Duke Cao died, even if the other principals of the Cao family fled to other countries, the First Emperor would definitely not continue to pursue him endlessly.Because Cao Gong is the banner of the Cao family and the face of the Cao family, when he died, the first emperor had already completed his layout and goals.

However, Cao Gong knew that he must die, but he still won a way of life for the Cao family with his own life.How could Li Jiancheng not admire such a sentiment.

The more Li Yuanji listened, the more confused he became, and he always felt that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the two brothers.It's just that he saw that Li Jiancheng didn't intend to continue talking, so he didn't want to continue to ask, so he changed the subject and said, "There are still three days, and it's the time for the first test. I wonder how the two brothers are preparing?"

Li Shimin and Li Shimin recovered from their contemplation after hearing the words.The two looked at each other calmly, and then said indifferently almost in unison: "It's okay."

The corner of Li Yuanji's mouth twitched slightly, and he rolled his eyes weakly.

He naturally understood what the two elder brothers meant by Shang Ke.It shows that they are already sure, at least they have absolute certainty in the first test.

Facing the unexpected exam, Li Yuanji regretted for the first time that he was ignorant and did not listen to the old masters' teachings.Thinking of the first test three days later, he couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle.

If God gives me another chance, I must study hard and make progress every day!
Inadvertently hit by his two elder brothers, Li Yuanji had no interest in paying attention to the changes in Dajin.He apologized, turned around and left in a hurry, and couldn't wait to immerse himself in the ocean of learning.

"The first emperor pacified the Great Jin Dynasty, and the time for stability is not long." Li Jiancheng was playing with a celadon teacup in his hand, his eyes focused on the patterns on it, and his voice was somewhat heavy.

"The Emperor Shihuang tidied up the internal family, and will launch a war within half a year at the latest. We really don't have much time left. However, half a year is enough." Li Shimin frowned, and his voice was steady and fearless.

When Li Jiancheng heard the second half of his sentence, he raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't say much.

He naturally understood what the so-called half a year was enough.

Wu Mei Niang!
Only those who win Wu Mei Niang now have the chance to compete with the first emperor, and have the chance to win the world.And half a year is enough for Da Zhou to complete this competition to recruit relatives, and at the same time complete the integration of all parties' forces.
