Chapter 144

During lunch time, everyone was very cautious, and there was no one else, just because Cao Zhengxiu put too much pressure on everyone.After hastily eating lunch, Li Jianxin was about to pack up the dishes and take them to the kitchen, but was dissuaded by Cao Zhengxiu: "Li Shaoxia, let these small things be done one by one, but Cao has some things that he wants to talk to you about." chat."

Li Jianxin handed the dishes in his hand to Liu Yiyi, and then sat beside Cao Zhengxiu, except Qin Lang and Cao Shiqi who stayed in the gazebo, everyone else went back to their rooms.Li Jianxin sat down, looked at Cao Zhengxiu with a serious face and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Cao wants to tell me."

"There are indeed a few trivial things." Cao Zhengxiu said with a straightened expression on his face, slowly stood up and walked into the courtyard and said, "First of all, there is one thing that is related to Li Shaoxia's life. We've arrived in the capital." Cao Zhengxiu said as he turned around, looking at Li Jianxin's reaction.

Li Jianxin frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "Even if Lin Luoya came to the capital, she would not dare to make any trouble under Cao Changgong's nose. With Cao Changgong's support, she It’s nothing to be afraid of.”

Cao Zhengxiu looked up and laughed when he heard Li Jianxin's words, and said, "I thought Li Shaoxia would be in constant panic, but I didn't expect Li Shaoxia to be so open-minded. I'm just thinking that the sky will fall and I'll be fine. However, Cao Why should I promise to protect you?"

"Mr. Cao and I are like-minded people. I know Mr. Chang, and Mr. Chang knows me. Both of us want the world to be peaceful, the country peaceful and the people safe. For Cao Changgong, there are many things that are not easy to do on the bright side. It can be done by me.

Although my martial arts cannot be judged by Mr. Cao Chang, it can still solve some problems. Besides, I still have some reputations as a knight in the world, not to mention that my brother Qin Lang is a figure that everyone wants to call "Qin Da Xia". , people like us, Mr. Cao Chang, are quite happy to use it.Since I still have value to Mr. Cao Chang, then Mr. Cao Chang will not throw away me, who still has some residual value, in vain.When the time comes, Mr. Factory, you will gain stability in the world, and I will gain fame. It’s a win-win situation, isn’t it wonderful? "Li Jianxin's harsh words made Qin Lang quite helpless, but after thinking about it, Qin Lang felt that it made sense. Although it was more calculated, it was still fair.

Cao Zhengxiu listened to Li Jianxin's words, but looked at Li Jianxin a little pleasing to the eye. It had been a long time since anyone had spoken in front of him like this.Cao Zhengxiu blew on his palm and said, "Your boy is quite different from before."

"Naturally, you should treat each other with admiration for three days." Li Jianxin received it without humility.

"Okay, okay, okay." Cao Zhengxiu said three good words in succession, obviously in his heart he was extremely satisfied with Li Jianxin now.After pondering for a while, Cao Zhengxiu said again: "It's been a long time since anyone has spoken so boldly in front of me. Seventeenth, you should learn more from Li Shaoxia. It's not flattering to keep a straight face."

"Yes, the factory owner taught me that." Cao Shiqi said with his head down, and then there was a smile full of chills on his face, but the smile was too ugly.

Seeing Cao Shiqi's smile, Cao Zhengxiu twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, and then said to Li Jianxin: "Li Shaoxia, if you want me to help you block Lin Luoya, it's fine, but you are Cao, and there is one thing that needs to be done." You do it." Cao Zhengxiu stopped talking after speaking.

"Mr. Cao Chang has something to say, please speak up. I, Li Jianxin, am not a person who is good at calculating."

"Okay, hurry up and talk. I want you to join Dongchang." As soon as Cao Zhengxiu said this, Li Jianxin's face became incredulous.He really wasn't sure what Cao Zhengxiu meant.

Cao Zhengxiu looked at the hesitation on Li Jianxin's face, and said immediately: "Li Shaoxia, Mr. Cao is not forcing you to join Dongchang, but he just needs you to agree to Mr. Cao verbally, so that everyone will be his own behind, and you need some people to do it." You don't have to be so restrained when it comes to things that are happy and enmity. How about this?"

"Seeing the heart, we still need to think carefully about this matter." Qin Lang persuaded from the side.

Li Jianxin listened to the words of the two, and looked around for a week, only seeing Cao Zhengxiu, Qin Lang, and Cao Shiqi all staring at him, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

A trace of cold sweat fell from his forehead, Li Jianxin dismissed the thousands of thoughts in his mind, let out a long breath and said: "The humble Li Jianxin has met Mr. Cao Chang." As he said that, he was about to bow down like a golden mountain and a jade pillar.

A smile appeared on Cao Zhengxiu's lips, and he stretched out his hand to hold Li Jianxin's knees no longer.When Li Jianxin saw that there was a step, he didn't show any pretense. He quickly stood up straight, cupped his hands towards Cao Zhengxiu and said, "In the future, please take care of me more."

"Naturally." Cao Zhengxiu was quite satisfied with Li Jianxin's understanding, but he raised his hand and said to Li Jianxin, "Okay, since you have joined our East Factory, you also need to bear part of the responsibility of the East Factory. Want to visit Prince Ning's Mansion?"

"Prince Ning?" Li Jianxin asked in surprise, remembering the previous connection between Tianxiang Tower and Prince Ning's Mansion, so he asked Cao Zhengxiu: "Mr. Cao Chang, are you planning to attack Prince Ning's Mansion?"

"This is just to test it first, so don't be impatient. I just have a vague guess that King Ning may have some connection with the Seven Sins, but I want you to test it out. You just have to pretend that you don't have anything to do with it." Just act like you know, but Lin Luoya doesn't know you either."

"But I know King Ning." Li Jianxin said with a wry smile.

"It's simple, come here and listen to me explain in detail." Cao Zhengxiu said to Li Jianxin with a smile. past.However, Cao Zhengxiu raised his palm and patted Li Jianxin's chest lightly. Li Jianxin spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flew out like a broken kite, and fell limp to the ground.

"Cao Zhengxiu, what do you mean?" Qin Lang looked at Li Jianxin spitting blood, and quickly pulled out the purple electric knife on his waist, and was about to rush into the yard to ask Cao Zhengxiu clearly, but Cao Shiqi stopped him.

"I'm not in the way, Brother Qin, don't be impulsive." Li Jianxin coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and got up from the snow and said to Qin Lang.Li Jianxin unbuttoned his shirt, looked at the sunken palm prints on his chest and asked Cao Zhengxiu, "The factory owner wants Li to play tricks?"

"Yes, after today, I will let people spread the news that I forced you to join Dongchang, but you refused, so I hurt you. The scar on your chest is my unique skill [Yingying Jade Hand] 】There are only a few traces left by me in this world except for me." Cao Zhengxiu looked at Li Jianxin and nodded.

Hearing Cao Zhengxiu's words, Qin Lang breathed a sigh of relief, sat back on his seat, and then said to Cao Zhengxiu: "If Mr. Cao still wants to use this method next time, please inform him in advance." After speaking, he snorted.

Li Jianxin knew that Qin Lang cared about him, so he stood there and touched his nose in embarrassment.He said loudly to Cao Zhengxiu: "Mr. Cao Chang, it is absolutely impossible for you to let me join Dongchang. I am not welcome here. Please go."

Hearing Li Jianxin's words, Cao Zhengxiu already knew that Li Jianxin had entered the state, nodded in satisfaction, snorted heavily, and then said to Li Jianxin: "Okay, since Cao is not welcome here, then Cao Just leave, Li Jianxin, you can do it for us." Then he walked out of Li Jianxin's house with a sullen face, followed by Cao Shiqi.

"Jianxin, are you okay?" Qin Lang looked at Li Jianxin and asked with concern.

"It's not a problem, it's just a temporary injury, but it's not a big problem." Li Jianxin looked at Qin Lang and said with a smile.The others came out one after another when they heard that Cao Zhengxiu had left the house. Liu Yiyi looked at Li Jian's heart like gold paper, and couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "The adoptive father is also true, he is merciless in his actions."

Li Jianxin waved his hands and said: "Mr. Cao Chang has already shown mercy. If he uses ten percent of his strength in this palm, I will go to see Lord Yan in no time. How can I live like a tiger here?"

Hearing this, Liu Yiyi gave Li Jianxin a push, and said angrily: "Brother Jianxin, you really don't care about your body. People care about you and help you to speak out, why are you turning your elbows away. "

"Silly girl." Li Jianxin said while messing up Liu Yiyi's hair and said with a smile: "Mr. Cao is angry with me, he is angry that I took you home, and he is warning me Li Jianxin Don't be ashamed of Liu Yiyi, otherwise he could kill me with a backhand."

"You guys are really complicated." But Jun Mobai said with a smile, "Seeing how lively you are after being injured, it must be okay."

"This is really not what you think." Li Jianxin smiled wryly as he spoke, and then fell heavily on the seat before saying, "Although Mr. Cao's palm didn't use all his strength, but the energy in my body is gone. It was injured, and only [-]% of the real energy can be mobilized. Now that the internal injury has flared up, it is quite unpleasant."

"Then you're still holding on." But it was Qin Lang who punched Li Jianxin in the chest, which made Li Jianxin grin.Seeing Li Jianxin looking in pain, Liu Yiyi took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Li Jianxin and said, "Brother Jianxin, this is medicine for internal injuries. You should take it. You will feel better later. I heard It is said that there are many miraculous elixirs in Prince Ning’s Mansion, so you can go to Prince Ning’s Mansion to get some.”

Li Jianxin poured the medicine into his mouth and swallowed it, and said to everyone: "This is indeed a way to win King Ning's trust, but if I go there now, King Ning won't have any strange ideas?"

"Brother Jianxin, you don't know something. There are many disciples in Prince Ning's mansion, and there are all three religions and nine streams. Besides, King Ning has a memorial archway for a virtuous king outside the rivers and lakes, and he and my adoptive father have many friends in the court hall. No, you won't arouse his suspicion in the past, so don't worry too much about it."

"Well. It's not too late. I'll go to King Ning's mansion right now." Li Jianxin stood up and said to the crowd, "I'm going out first. If there is no accident at night, I won't be back. " After saying that, he left the house and headed towards Prince Ning's Mansion.

There were two servants sweeping the snow in front of King Ning's mansion, Li Jianxin said to one of them: "My servant, Li Jianxin, is here to join King Ning, please let me know." Then he took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the two of them. .The two servants looked at each other, and the one holding the silver shook the weight of the silver in his hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Daxia Li, please wait a moment, I will call the steward to come out. My prince is still in the palace now." Playing chess with the emperor, but not at home."

"It's not in the way." Li Jianxin said and stopped talking, just stood aside quietly, and the servant went into the gate to look for the butler of King Ning.

After a while, he led a steward out, and the villain introduced: "This is the second steward of our Prince Ning's mansion." Li Jianxin nodded, then thought of the second steward and cupped his hands and said, "I'm here, Li Jianxin, to join Lord Ning. .”

"You are the Li Jianxin who won the championship at the Junior Dragon and Tiger Competition." The second butler asked arrogantly, touching the goatee on his chin.

Seeing the appearance of the second steward, Li Jianxin took out another stack of banknotes from his pocket, stuffed them into the steward's hand and said: "Li has heard that King Ning has a reputation as a virtuous king, so he is here to defect." The second steward will Received the bank note in the sleeve, counted it secretly with your fingers, very satisfied, his face became easy-going, not as arrogant as before, and said with a smile: "You are quite an elf. "

"I dare not, but I don't know what you call Mr. Housekeeper."

"Just call me Butler Zhang. I am mainly responsible for the affairs of the guests in the mansion." Butler Zhang said and asked Li Jianxin with a smile: "How could someone like Li Shaoxia, who became famous at a young age, think of coming out to join us?" Where is the king? Although my prince is an idle prince, he is also a member of the court. Li Shaoxia is quite different from those people from all walks of life who come to beg for food. A rich and generous person like you took the initiative to come to our Prince Ning's Mansion. The prices for the diners are quite low!"

"This." Li Jianxin said with a look of embarrassment on his face, and he hesitated for a while before he said in a sad voice: "This is a long story, and to be honest, I don't want to be this disciple, but I was persecuted by that eunuch Cao Zhengxiu, then The eunuchs forced me to join Dongchang, and I naturally refused to agree. Thief Cao slapped me on the chest in anger, and I was seriously injured. Cao Zhengxiu is really a bully. Difficult, I just remembered that King Ning was good. He had recruited me before, but I was blind to gold and jade at that time, but I rejected him. Now that I think about it, I really regret it. He is quite famous, and he is Cao Zhengxiu's nemesis. If I had come to join him earlier, it would have been better for such a person. Alas," Li Jianxin said with a long sigh, his face full of embarrassment.

"It's not too late now." A generous male voice came from behind Li Jianxin.
