Come to the end of the world with all the teachers and students of the school

Awesome, what's the specific situation?

Don't ask me about the specific situation. The owner of the restaurant is still here, so I can't chat with you for too long. You go find that boy Juehuang. He's grown up now and is a son-in-law in the Cao Mansion. You can find him. , he is better informed than me. By the way, his current name is Huang Jue.

Huang Jue, your name is so random. After ordering a few dishes and eating a few bites to show off, Li Shou left Xiaoyaoju.

He then inquired all the way and came to the door of Cao's mansion.

The scale of this Cao Mansion is much larger than the Li family in the inner city of the previous world.

Because the management here in the Zhou Kingdom was not strict, the power of the local gentry naturally formed.

Moreover, these places have great power and authority, possess countless fields, and can support retainers and a large number of private soldiers. They are simply countries within a country.

But this is also a major force of Zhou State against Qing State.

The resistance of the local gentry against the Qing Kingdom was more intense than that of the border troops and county troops.

Soldiers and horses in counties and counties sometimes still rely on food and salary to survive. If they suffer a defeat here, they can continue to serve as soldiers and generals in another place.

But the gentry is different.

The gentry is a local power, and all their property comes from their private land. If they lose, they will have nothing.

Moreover, once the Qing Kingdom was successfully occupied, it suppressed the gentry very seriously, and all resources were concentrated on the royal power. Under the restructuring of Shangjun, the local gentry no longer had a foothold, and many of them had their homes confiscated 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 arrow towers inside, lamenting that none of the laws in the world seemed to be perfect, but they complemented each other.

The Way of Balance pays attention to the mutual checks and balances of all things in the world, which seems to be the most complicated rule.

What are you doing standing outside the door? The wealthy gentry in a place like Cao's Mansion was naturally heavily guarded. Li Shou only stood outside the door for a while before private soldiers wearing armor came forward to question him.

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

Wait.

The private soldiers went back to report the news. After a while, Jue Huang followed a girl and walked out.

The girl walked in front, and he followed behind.

The girl looked to be about the same age as Jue Huang, in her mid-twenties, and because she came from a wealthy family, she had a very good temperament and a fair face.

‘Domineering girls always fall in love with me! ’

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

Ahem, I've met Mr. Huang.

... Emperor Jue felt a little embarrassed when he saw Li Shou's teasing look, but he still resisted the embarrassment and responded: Long time no see, Mr. Li.

Huang Lang, why don't you introduce this brother?

Pfft hahahaha... Seeing that the girl's name was Juehuang Huanglang, Li Shou couldn't help laughing anymore.

This attracted the attention of some people in the surrounding area. In the Cao Mansion, there were even powerful retainers who looked here from time to time, for fear that strangers would hurt the young lady.

Why are you laughing, Master?

It's okay. Li Shou calmed down. This is the door of Cao Mansion, and basic etiquette is still required. I just feel happy when I see an old friend. I'm rude.

It doesn't matter, the young master is also a temperamental person. The young lady Cao Muzhi has met the young master.

I've met Miss Cao.

Muzhi, I want to talk to Brother Li, you...

Come into the mansion and chat, I'll arrange a quiet tea pavilion. As Cao Muzhi spoke, he wanted to lure Li Shou into the mansion.

Li Shou naturally did not shirk and followed them in.

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

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

All kinds of mechanisms, as well as private soldiers and retainers, have made this place extremely impregnable. Even if the city is broken, this place may not be broken.

There are many desperadoes in the Qing Kingdom. Dead men often come to us to assassinate us. Don't be surprised, Master.

The front hall is a mechanism and archery tower, and in the middle of Cao's mansion is a huge martial arts field.

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 on TV, with thousands of private soldiers in his family. He had only seen it in history books.

Now that I see it with my own eyes, it feels really spectacular.

‘This kid Juehuang is considered to be close to a real big family. But a wealthy family is as deep as the sea, and it is never easy to get along with them... The ladies in wealthy families have always had to have political marriages, so it is useless to give your heart to a poor boy. I don't know how much injustice this boy has suffered in order to complete the task. ’

While Li Shou was having thoughts in his mind, someone in the martial arts arena stepped forward and blocked the way of everyone passing by.

It's you Huang again! Even if you sneaked in by yourself, you dared to bring a stranger in this time! The visitor looked Li Shou up and down with an unkind look in his 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 it were the second sister, this kid would have died in our Cao Mansion 800 times a long time ago. The person named Huang doesn't look like a good person, and I think his friends don't Like a Qingguo spy!

What should I do? Li Shou looked at the ferocious image of the person looking for trouble in front of him, but he understood part of Jue Huang's difficulties. He didn't want to cause trouble to the other party, so he hurriedly approached and asked in a low voice: Should I endure it, or should I give it to you? A strong face?

Give me some face, my fucking status here is lower than that of a dog, but be careful not to hurt or kill anyone...

understood!

What are you two muttering about? Are you giving Qing Guo a secret code?

Why don't we have a better reason for deliberately looking for trouble? If we were careful in Qingguo, we wouldn't show up in such an eye-catching way. Just tell me what you want to do. Do you want to give it a try?

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

The fifth son of the Cao family was stunned when he heard this. He looked Li Shou up and down, and then looked at the thousands of private soldiers over there. In full view of the crowd, it was up to him whether he should try his hand at this moment.

How brave! Come on, in the martial arts arena, no matter life or death!

OK.

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

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

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

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

Haha, no need, I'm used to using my bare hands!

Okay, let me see if you can still be so tough-mouthed when you die?

After the two distanced themselves in the field, in the eyes of everyone, the fifth child of the Cao family took the lead in attacking.

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

‘Yes, no wonder he is so arrogant. His strength is much stronger than that of the great martial arts masters in the previous world, but his overall strength is slightly inferior to Zan Gudu. ’ When he wasn’t practicing a month ago, Li Shou could easily control Zan Gu.

After practicing for this month, 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 swipe.

There was a dang sound.

The battle ax swept across Li Shou's waist, making a sound of gold and iron.

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