Listening to everyone's discussion, the middle-aged man felt a little proud and asked Cao Bin:
"Marquis Cao, Xia came here this time because your soldiers killed my Penglai Island disciples for no reason."
"I need an explanation, otherwise Xia will not be able to explain to his mentor."
Cao Bin glanced at him, snorted coldly and said:
"You want to ask Ben Hou to explain?"
The middle-aged man didn't expect Cao Bin to be indifferent when he heard about his background. Not only did he not even give him a seat, but he also said in such a domineering tone with a displeased expression on his face:
"Master Hou, my teacher is an expert outside the world, even princes and nobles dare not disrespect them."
"Could it be that Marquis Cao has never heard of my teacher's name of invincibility? How rude?"
Before Cao Bin could speak, Feng Yihan behind him sneered and said:
"Xia, who are you scaring? Do you want to try my marquis's powerful cannon?"
The middle-aged man was speechless when he heard the words, he really didn't dare to try, not to mention him, even if his teacher came, he couldn't do it with all the arrows.
But who the hell brings a crossbowman with him every day?Are you not afraid of being alone?
Before he could figure out how to answer, he suddenly looked at Feng Yihan and said:
"You are Junior Brother Feng? Why do you..."
Feng Yihan waved his hand and said:
"Needless to say about the past, Feng is just the Hou Ye's eagle dog now."
"You dare to be arrogant in front of Lord Hou, but it is because Penglai Island is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is not conducive to the encirclement and suppression of the army."
"With Feng to lead the way, your location is just a joke."
The middle-aged man was shocked when he heard the words, and said speechlessly:
"You...traitor!"
Cao Bin said disdainfully:
"It's just an isolated island. How easy is it to destroy it?"
"If you dare to make trouble, I just need to cut off his water and rice, poison him and set him on fire..."
The middle-aged man broke into a cold sweat when he heard Cao Bin's random idea.
I just think that Cao Bin's mind is full of sinister tricks, let alone using all of them, even if he only uses one, he and others can't stand it.
He was silent for a long while before he said:
"Marquis Cao, Xia knows that there is something wrong with my disciples, but the crime is not fatal, right?"
When everyone heard the words, they didn't look at each other.
This guy was suppressed by Cao Bin with only two words, and the hero became short of breath. It seems that No. 1 in this world dare not be tough with the government.
At this time, Cao Bin took a stack of files from his subordinates, threw them over and said:
"This is a crime committed by your subordinates, please give it to your teacher."
As he spoke, he laughed and said:
"Looking at you coming out of the island, you must have a plan."
"This marquis intends to recruit the world's most talented people to serve the imperial court, and we need talents like your teacher."
"If you find a way to get him out, wouldn't it be nice for you masters and apprentices to be beautiful wives and beautiful concubines?"
"This......"
Hearing Cao Bin's call, the big disciple of Penglai Island was undoubtedly very moved.
Overseas Fairy Island sounds good to say, but it is actually isolated from the world, deserted and desolate, and there are many inconveniences.
Even if he has a martial art that is as good as the sky, it is difficult to display it. How can it compare with the glory and wealth of the world?
His teacher is in a detached state of mind, he is devoted to studying martial arts, and doesn't care about the living environment, he has not reached that state.
This is also the reason why he couldn't help but come out of the mountain himself when he heard that Cao Bin had put out one hundred thousand silver coins for the challenge.
But he felt that Cao Bin's words were too direct.
With so many friends from the rivers and lakes present, you tell me about the prosperity and wealth. If you agree to this, wouldn't it make people look down upon you?
But it was also because of his directness that he felt full of temptation. It can be seen that this Marquis Cao is a sincere person, and he gave out [-] guan as a reward in one ring.
Dare to give conditions, there is nothing false, if the princes and nobles are so arrogant, he can't help but come out of the mountain.
He hesitated for a long while before weakly asking:
"I don't know what the Hou Ye wants us to do? If there is a lack of guards in the mansion, we can send some disciples to serve the Hou Ye..."
Cao Bin waved his hands and said:
"not enough!"
"This marquis has already reported to the imperial court, please set up a shipping department and make every effort to develop maritime trade."
"At that time, you will need masters to sit in the guard and fight with masters from all over the world. You can freely accept official and private missions."
"If you make a contribution, you will have a decent official credentials and a future, earning millions a year... Thousands are not a dream."
The maritime trade of the Song Dynasty was extremely developed, but the most prosperous was after the establishment of the Shibo Department in the middle and late stages, and reached its peak in the Southern Song Dynasty.
The furthest distance sailed has reached North Africa.
When a group of people from all over the world heard Cao Bin's words, they couldn't help being shocked. They didn't expect that Lord Cao had such courage.
Although they don't know the meaning of doing all they can to develop maritime trade, it doesn't prevent them from imagining the grand gathering of masters from all over the world from Cao Bin's mouth.
Even the big disciple of Penglai Island was shocked, his heart was excited, and his heart was burning. This kind of high-paying job is suitable for his teacher.
Don't you just like to retreat, where is it closed?Not to mention the opportunity to get in touch with various overseas martial arts?
I am definitely not a person who is greedy for wealth and honor, this is for the sake of the teacher.
Thinking of this, he was already thinking about how to lure the teacher out. As for the people who were shot dead by the soldiers... burn more paper for them.
So he cupped his hands and said:
"Forgive me, Mr. Xia. I don't dare to specialize in this matter. I have to tell the teacher to know. I will try my best to persuade you."
"...But Xia needs to go up to the ring to ask Lord Hou's subordinates for advice. The person who was shot and killed is my teacher's confidant."
"If you don't act, Xia really can't explain."
After finishing speaking, he quickly added:
"Don't worry, Lord Hou, Xia has absolutely no intention of hurting anyone!"
Hearing this, Cao Bin didn't know what he meant.
People in Jianghu have always been unruly and unruly, even if he made up his mind to join him, he would not accept his head and worship him, at least he should show his martial arts capabilities to let himself know his value.
Maybe he also has some ideas about the [-] guan reward, so he wants to fight.
Cao Bin wasn't displeased at all, he couldn't tolerate the other party's greed, but the arena couldn't let him win, lest they become proud and flout the law.
After reaching a conclusion in his mind, Cao Bin did not hesitate, and said directly:
"Okay, I agree, and I will wait for good news from Swordsman Xia."
"...Come here, order the kitchen to set up a banquet. I want to entertain all heroes."
Penglai Island, as the nominal leader of the sect, although he can't control the actual affairs, has a lot of influence in the Green Forest Road, and it is of great benefit to subdue them.
If they are willing to listen honestly, Cao Bin doesn't mind giving them enough benefits...
At this time, it has entered the season of June, and there has just been a light rain in the capital, bringing a bit of comfort and coolness to the hot and dry weather.
The Tianbo Mansion had just finished celebrating Yang Zongbao's promotion to the No. [-], and everyone in the Yang family was still happy when they received a letter from Yang Zongbao from the border.
So they all gathered around Madam She, drinking tea and chatting while listening to the maids reading letters, very comfortable.
After listening to the letter, Mrs. Yang said with a smile:
"The credit this time is really timely. Not only was he rewarded by the court, but Zongbao was also given a stable position in Hebei's army and horse capital."
"Otherwise, Zongbao would have to spend a lot of effort to straighten out the military affairs in Hebei."
San Niang also laughed and said:
"Isn't Zongbao winning beautifully? Because of his meritorious service, Zongbao has honored his ancestors this time."
Wu Niang nodded and said:
"Speaking of which, thanks to Cao Bin's plan this time, should we do something to express our gratitude?"
When Eighth Sister Yang heard this, her fair and pretty face was full of smiles, and she said triumphantly:
"I said that it's right to cooperate with Cao Bin to plan things, right? He is resourceful, and he will surely succeed."
Hearing this, the smile on the old lady's face stopped abruptly, she glanced at her, sighed and asked:
"You know about Mr. Kou protecting the media, what do you think?"
Eighth Sister Yang frowned and said in disgust:
"Mother, I said I didn't want to, haven't you turned him down yet?"
Madam She shook her head and said:
"You don't understand, Mr. Kou has another purpose in protecting the media this time, and he won't give up easily..."
Before she could finish speaking, Eighth Sister Yang became angry and scolded:
"This old guy, he's not my father, so he still wants to force me?"
Madam She was stunned by her choking, almost fell to the ground angrily, knocked on her crutches and said angrily:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Look at you, how can you look like a woman now! Who did you learn from?"
The others almost spit it out too, and when they heard Madam She's words, they couldn't help but secretly slander, who else could she learn from?This is clearly Cao Bin's style.
Seeing this, Mu Guiying had no choice but to explain for Madam She:
"Eighth Sister, it's not that the old matriarch forced you. This time the Yang family's contribution is indeed not small, and they have gained a lot, but the situation in the court is also very dangerous."
"Although Mr. Kou blocked the disaster for us in the court hall, he didn't want nothing."
Although some words were not explicitly stated, they understood Kou Zhun's hidden meaning.
This time Yang Zongbao sent troops without authorization, without going through the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council. Not only was he feared by several ministers in charge, but even Kou Zhun himself was not at ease.
That's why he immediately brought up Eighth Sister Yang's marriage, hoping to bind the Yang family to a certain extent, at least not to let them stray too far.
Especially at the critical time when the crown prince is still undecided and the court is changing, the Yang family must not lose control.
This is also a major matter related to the Yang family's future team, so when Mu Guiying explained, his expressions were dignified.
Eighth Sister Yang didn't expect the matter to be so serious, her face changed for a while, and she said:
"I can't control that much, anyway, I will never marry Zhang Wen..."
After Yang Bajie expressed her attitude, she shook Taijun She's arm and said coquettishly:
"Mother, we are a loyal family, why do we have to participate in court battles? Didn't Cao Bin also go to the south of the Yangtze River to escape?"
"Why don't you ask him about his plans? Let's plan things together with him!"
Last year's five-way campaign against Xia and the joint battle against the Northern Liao Dynasty, coupled with the harassment of the peace talks this year, Cao Bin's planning and performance really made the Yang family feel like a fish in water.
It also made them trust Cao Bin quite a lot.
So when Eighth Sister Yang proposed this idea, the female general of the Yang family didn't find it abrupt, but it was a bit funny.
Aunt Yang said helplessly:
"Eighth Sister, although Cao Bin has no problems with his talents, he is not omnipotent."
"Our family is different from him, and we can't go out of Beijing, how can we stay out of it?"
If it is a choice, many nobles don't want to participate in the battle for the crown prince, but they occupy an important position, but they can't help but stay out of it.
