Not long after that, Shi Jingrong heard the news that Li Kening was preparing for the palace change. Because Li Kening had been in charge of the country when Li Keyong was seriously ill, the soldiers in Jinyang City had been driven by Li Kening, and Li Cunxu's personal soldiers were far away from Jinyang. Yang, this time the palace change relied on the soldiers in the city to force the palace quickly and caught Li Cunxu by surprise.

There are not too many soldiers in the city, but it is enough to take down Prince Jin's mansion quickly. Li Kening's plan is to rely on these soldiers in the city to make trouble. When the situation is chaotic and someone hurts the life of Prince Jin's son, it is understandable. of.

Fortunately, after Li Cunxu learned of Li Kening's intentions last time, he gave the token to Cao Shuhua and asked him to send someone out of the city to quickly transfer his soldiers into the city.

Cao Shuhua hurriedly sent people out of the city with tokens to inform Li Cunxu's soldiers, and then quietly sent Li Cunxu's soldiers into Jinyang City in batches through the caravan, and placed them in houses under the name of Cao's family in the city.

"Today Li Kening will mobilize the guards in the city with the intention of rebelling against you. You take a large group of people to the guard camp to stop them. When you see them, you tell the leader that Shi Jingrong has voted for the crown prince. This leave notice that he will not go to court today is evidence. Li Cunhao It’s already under the law, otherwise why didn’t they show up, let’s just stop now and let the past go, it’s best to reduce the conflict, if not, you must stop them, can it be done.” Cao Shuhua pointed to the map of Jinyang hanging on the wall. asked the heavily armed man beside him.

"Yes." Originally they wondered why the prince would give the task of contacting them to this gentle young man in front of him, but this man took them into the city quietly and arranged everything, so they no longer wondered. They have their own reasons, and the loyalty of the soldiers is still very high. Now that they have seen the token of His Royal Highness, it is like seeing the prince. Moreover, they have already known the whole story from Cao Shuhua, so they are naturally willing to obey Cao Shuhua's orders.

"A few of you will follow me to Prince Jin's Mansion to protect the prince's safety." Cao Shuhua pointed to some of them.Today Cao Shuhua's robe was a bit bulging, Li Cunxu repeatedly asked Cao Shuhua to put on armor, but he had to go to the side to protect Li Cunxu later, it would be too obvious if he was wearing armor, so he only wore an armor under the robe.

"Master." Yaoju handed Cao Shuhua a wooden box.

"Cao Lang, what is this?" The man looked at the box and asked suspiciously.

"This is a gift for Li Kening." Cao Shuhua said and opened the wooden box, and inside was Li Cunhao's head. "When you take this head into the palace, Li Kening will definitely be in a mess. Then arrange someone in the side hall to take Li Kening."

Cao Shuhua arranged everything, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he was relieved, straightened his clothes and set off for the Jin Palace.

Sitting on the throne, Li Cunxu frowned when he saw Cao Shuhua who was sitting among the officials in the distance. He asked Cao Shuhua to be in charge of communicating with the soldiers. Apart from trusting him, he also wanted him to stay away from the right and wrong place of the Jin Palace today. Asked him to stay behind obediently after completing the liaison task, but Cao Shuhua didn't expect Cao Shuhua to come to Prince Jin's mansion without listening to him. In short, it's always safer to recruit people to his side.

This is obviously different from the usual order. At this time Li Kening is nervous, if it makes Li Kening suspicious, it will be bad.Although Cao Shuhua was anxious, since Li Cunxu had called him, he could only maintain his composure, took the wooden box carrying the memorial, and handed it to Li Cunxu.Li Cunxu deliberately did not pick up the box, and the box fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

Li Cunxu immediately lowered his face and sternly shouted: "Even this can't be done well."

Cao Shuhua hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty. "I'll punish you to kneel here." Cao Shuhua handed over the box. According to the rules, he was supposed to go back, so he knelt next to Li Cunxu after such a toss.Although the officials were surprised that Li Cunxu's anger came and went inexplicably, since the fire didn't reach his own head, it was fine.

"Here is the evidence of Li Kening's treason." The soldiers rushed in from outside the hall carrying Li Cunhao's head. Li Kening wanted to quickly put aside his relationship with Li Cunhao when he saw that the matter was revealed, but he thought that Li Cunxu had managed the timing so well, so he decided It's because I already have spies on my side, and I can't tell the difference at this time, so I simply fight him to death.

Li Kening rushed forward, Cao Shuhua and Li Cunxu were already guarding against him, but seeing Li Kening rushing over, he hastily pulled out his sword.Cao Shuhua quickly stood up and stood in front of Li Cunxu.Li Kening only brought a dagger just in case, although the dagger is short but very sharp, he was going towards Li Cunxu, but was blocked by Cao Shuhua at this time, and actually cut through the soft armor under Cao Shuhua's clothes, Into the flesh and blood.

Cao Shuhua stabbed the dagger straight at Li Kening out of pain. Li Kening was out of order and only wanted to take Li Cunxu's life. At this time, he had no time to hide and was stabbed to death by Cao Shuhua.

Seeing Li Kening fall down, Cao Shuhua felt a little relieved. As soon as his mind relaxed, the pain of being scratched surged up, and he felt that the scene in front of him became blurred, and his body softened and fell backwards.

Li Cunxu caught Cao Shuhua, saw that the wound on his chest kept oozing blood, wet his clothes, and hurriedly sent for a medical officer.Naturally, it is impossible for Li Cunxu to resettle Cao Shuhua at this time, he still needs to stabilize the situation at this time.So he asked Jing Xinmo to carry Cao Shuhua to the inner courtyard first, but his heart could not calm down.

After everything was arranged properly, Li Cunxu went back to the backyard.Because the situation was urgent and Cao Shuhua's condition was unknown, he must have found a bed to lie down and recruited a medical officer to bandage him.It must be too late to tidy up another room at this time.Jing Xinmo thought about the nervousness of his son when Cao Shuhua was injured, so he put Cao Shuhua on the bed outside Li Cunxu's room.

"Hey, ancestor, you can stay here well, the things ahead are almost the same, you are hurting, take a rest, don't make trouble anymore." Before Li Cunxu entered, he heard Jing Xinmo's voice coming from inside the room. As soon as he got closer, he saw that Cao Shuhua was about to get out of bed, and Jing Xinmo persuaded him from the side.

"Lie back quickly. I've taken care of everything. How's your injury? What did the doctor say?" Li Cunxu pushed Cao Shuhua back on the bed and asked.

"No, it's nothing serious. The medical officer has already bandaged me up. How are you?" The soft armor and clothes that Cao Shuhua was wearing before were all torn, and he could no longer wear them at this time, so Jing Xinmo went to get them from the mansion. Cao Shuhua put on the new robes he had prepared.Of course it is inappropriate for Cao Shuhua to wear the robes worn by servants, and what is given to Cao Shuhua is the new clothes prepared for Li Cunxu.It's just that Cao Shuhua's figure is thinner than Li Cunxu's. Li Cunxu's clothes are inevitably a little too big for him, and his shoulders can't support them, so they hang loosely on his body.

"It's okay, you see I'm in good health, but you, show me quickly." Li Cunxu said as he stretched out his hand to pull Cao Shuhua's clothes, feeling nothing wrong at all.

"It's okay. I wore armor and the dagger just scratched the flesh. It looks scary, but it's not that serious. The medical officer has already bandaged me up." Cao Shuhua couldn't resist him, so he simply untied his belt to make him feel at ease.

"The wound is so long, you still have to be careful. I'll send some blood-enriching medicinal materials to Cao's mansion later." Li Cunxu pressed the bandage on Cao Shuhua's chest, saw Cao Shuhua frowned and withdrew his hand, and suddenly thought Before, Cao Shuhua stood in front of him without hesitation, and said, "And why are you standing in front of me, a scholar who doesn't know martial arts? Didn't I want you to stay in a safe place? Don't you think I can't beat uncle?"

"No, if the two of you face each other head-on, it's inevitable that someone will put the stigma of murdering your relatives on your head, so I don't have these worries." Cao Shuhua lowered his head and gathered his clothes back up. .

"Then you shouldn't either. You are weak and can help me block a knife this time. What about next time? I'm not afraid of those who talk nonsense. If anyone dares to talk nonsense, I will subdue him. You are safe." It’s good to earn money there safely, and since I went to manage those, I don’t have to worry about military pay anymore, if you don’t have me, I’ll find another one.” Seeing that Cao Shuhua seemed a little depressed, Li Cunxu moved After talking about a topic, he reached out to help Cao Shuhua fasten his belt.

"I'm a cash cow with you." Cao Shuhua turned around and said with his legs hanging off the bed. "Actually, I'm going to ask you for leave today."

"You are injured and you really need to rest for a period of time. I agree with this leave."

"It's not about recovering from my injuries. I'm not that delicate yet. I have a business to go in person, so I'm going to ask you for a few months' leave."

"What kind of business will take a few months, can't you send someone else to go, I will inherit the throne of King Jin in a few days, why don't you stay for a few days, at least wait until then before leaving."

"I'm going to the north to do some business. There's no rush. I can go after you inherit the throne of King Jin."

"North? Are you going to Khitan? It's not safe there. Would you like me to send some people to you?"

"It's fine if I take the caravan, but it's not good if you let me take your people. If you really want to help me, how about finding someone who understands several languages ​​for me?" Originally, the caravan There are people here who understand several kinds of Hu, and Cao Shuhua can barely speak some, but Cao Shuhua sees that Li Cunxu is worried about him, so he still asks him for someone.

"Then after you leave the customs, you send letters back at regular intervals. Is it not safe to go outside the customs?"

Cao Shuhua agreed, and Li Cunxu accompanied him out of Prince Jin's mansion, and only went back after seeing him get into the car.

"Find someone who can speak several kinds of nonsense, and who can take notes. It's better to look ordinary." Li Cunxu instructed Jing Xinmo.

This first requirement is quite understandable, but it will be recorded, and why is the appearance ordinary.But of course Jing Xinmo understood that he shouldn't ask about these things, so he accepted this matter and thought about qualified people.
