across mountains and seas

The imperial light cavalry stopped outside the stone tower.

One of the light cavalrymen at the head dismounted from their horses and sent the greeting card forward, explaining their purpose.

Since it was a distinguished guest, Aunt Hong naturally did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered someone to open the gate of the Shicheng Tower, ready to welcome the distinguished guest into the main hall of Haicheng.

The people in the carriage did not seem to be in a hurry to get off their horses.

The son-in-law Cao Yang gently lifted the curtain of the car, and calmly looked in at the open gate of the Shicheng Tower—his hair was meticulously tied in a jade crown, on which was carved the auspicious unicorn.The slender eyebrows flew obliquely into the temples, and only raised his eyes slightly, between the eyebrows and eyes was the innate nobility of the children of the aristocratic family.

"My son-in-law seems to have doubts?" Behind Cao Yang, a middle-aged woman covered in a black scarf was speaking. She leaned against the wall on the other side of the car and lazily reminded Cao Yang, "Today, my son-in-law can see clearly too. Yes, Liu Xi's act of breaking the situation today can be said to hit the nail on the head, if such a person is not taken for his own use, the best way is to destroy it."

Cao Yang's eyes dimmed slightly, but he was not in a hurry to answer the middle-aged woman's words.

"Although Mr. Jing Wu is still young, today he has the courage to go out of the city to fight. Given time, when the wolf cubs grow up, they will kill people." The middle-aged woman said again.

Cao Yang raised his hand to signal the middle-aged woman to stop talking, as if something had been decided.

The middle-aged woman held back her words knowingly, and watched Cao Yang lift the curtain of the car and walked down.

The auspicious unicorn embroidered with gold silk shines brightly on his chest. Cao Yang has been the most dazzling boy from a family in Lidu since he was born.After becoming a son-in-law, he became the number one official that the emperor relied on the most.

No matter where he stands, ordinary people will always feel a sense of inexplicable humiliation.Looking around the world, only Daliang's eldest princess, Chu Xi, is worthy of him.

Cao Yang put down the curtain of the car, and deliberately only said a few words, "Madam Ye, over there at the Asura Court..."

"Let the dog out to bite, naturally you should give some bones, the son-in-law can rest assured about these things." The middle-aged woman responded to Cao Yang.

Cao Yang nodded his head slightly, straightened his clothes, specially rearranged the jade pendant and tassels on his waist, and then led ten personal guards into the Three Ways Stone Gorge.

After the middle-aged woman lifted the curtain to watch Cao Yang go away, she put down the curtain, and the smile on her face got wider, and she murmured, "It's getting more and more interesting."

At the same time, Liu Xi rushed to the [Organ Tomb] after disposing of Mr. Chen's body.

Jing Huan finally arrived at Liuxi, and greeted him with a smile, "Sister-in-law is finally back!"

Liu Xi nodded, "Fourth uncle is here."

Jing Huan patted his chest proudly and said, "You're welcome, we're all family!"

"I have something to trouble fourth uncle." Liu Xi approached the hole and took a look, "I keep this hole for fear that someone will accidentally fall into it and get hurt, so..."

"I'll bring someone to fill it in immediately!" Jing Huan agreed very quickly. After he finished speaking, he greeted left and right, and the guards in the stone room all retreated after him.

Liu Xi waited for them to walk away, quickly pressed the evil mechanism, opened the breastplate, and got in.

Today, the theatergoers didn't see the organ beast they wanted to see. Since the existence of the evil spirit cannot be hidden, it is better to put the evil spirit outside the main hall openly, so that the theatergoers can take a good look at it.

The evil spirit walked out of the [Organ Tomb] step by step, and the morning light shone on its scales, emitting a gloomy killing intent.

The people of Haicheng had never seen such a lifelike mechanism monster, and they all cast shocked eyes.

There were even maids and servants who couldn't help their curiosity, chasing the evil spirit all the way to the courtyard of the main hall of Haicheng.

In the main hall, Jing Lan was sitting on the seat of the head of the family. Hearing the movement outside, she thought it was Cao Yang who came, but unexpectedly it was the evil spirit.

She frowned, besides Liu Xi, she was the only one who could activate evil spirit protection.

And irregular!

Jing Lan pinched the animal head on the armrest of the chair, and suddenly began to regret, why did she feel pity for her today, and cared about her life for no reason?

Jing Tan and Jing Yuan were so curious that they couldn't help but walked out of the main hall, watched Bi Xie and sat down in the middle of the courtyard.

The breastplate was opened, and Liu Xi came out from the evil spirit protection, and hooked the evil spirit protection breastplate with the backhand with the moon-shocking scabbard.

"Sister-in-law! Where did this mechanism beast come from?" It was the first time that Jing Tan saw such an exquisite mechanism beast, and he couldn't help but caress the black scales of the mechanism beast, feeling even more puzzled.

The military casting technique used to create black scales is not the military casting technique passed down by Jing's family.

"It's really boring to be idle and recuperating, so all I can do is..." She raised her eyebrows and smiled at Jing Lan in the main hall, "Take Alan to develop a mechanism beast. No, Xishan Liu's thin blade technique just comes in handy."

Jing Yuan was surprised and delighted, and turned his head to look at Jing Lan with incomparable admiration, "Xiao Wu, you are so amazing!"

"Sister-in-law's thin blade technique is really amazing!" Jing Tan thought to himself that he would not be able to master such a mechanism technique even after ten years. , will it..."

"Whoever treats me unrighteously should be treated unjustly." Liu Xi said in a cold voice, his eyes turned slightly to one side, and it happened to fall on Cao Yang who stepped into the gate of the courtyard.

The son-in-law Cao Yang really has the demeanor of a family, far more handsome and handsome than Liu Xi imagined.

Cao Yang was originally attracted by the evil scales, but after realizing Liu Xi's gaze, his wandering gaze met Liu Xi.He had seen quite a few women in Lidu, but he was the first one like Liu Xi who didn't hide any arrogance when meeting for the first time.

At dawn, when he saw Liu Xi killing each other with one sword, he felt that this woman was ruthless. Now that he looked at each other like this, Cao Yang had a ruler in his heart, and quietly classified Liu Xi into the category of people who must die early if they are not friends. .

"This girl is..." Cao Yang asked knowingly.

Before Liu Xi could speak, Jing Lan, who couldn't sit still in the main hall for a long time, walked to the door and answered word by word: "My brother's wife, Liu Xi."

"I've heard about you for a long time." Cao Yang smiled politely, and turned his eyes to Jing Lan.

The new Patriarch of the East China Sea is too young, and looks really tender and thin at this time, only the seemingly vague hostility in those eyes, Cao Yang thinks there is something interesting.

"You are……"

"Our patriarch, Jing Lan." This time it was Liu Xi who answered. She walked to the door with a knife in hand, stood side by side with Jing Lan, raised her sleeves sassyly, and signaled Cao Yang to enter the hall for a detailed discussion, "My son-in-law, please."

Surprise flashed in Cao Yang's eyes, and he stepped into the main hall first.

Jing Lan was just about to follow, but Liu Xi quietly grabbed her by the sleeve.

She glanced back, but Liu Xi quickly tugged the folds on her back, straightened the jade tassels around her waist again, then let go, and said silently, "Don't be rude."

The words that Jing Lan originally wanted to be "fierce" were choked in her throat for an instant, and she returned to the main seat with a sullen face, and sat down with Cao Yang.

"Come here, let's have some tea." Liu Xi raised his voice to order the maid outside the door.

The maids obeyed the order and retreated.

Jing Tan and Jing Yuan walked in and took their seats.

Cao Yang looked sideways at the evil spirit in the court, no matter how well he concealed it, he couldn't hide the brilliance of "coveting".

"Thank you son-in-law for taking action today, and solving my dangerous situation of the Dongjing family." Liu Xi opened his mouth first, and this greeting still has to start from the easiest way to cut in.

Cao Yang turned his head when he heard the sound, but he didn't expect Liu Xi to say what he said first, and even left a step for him to walk up.

"I am patrolling Dongfuzhou on behalf of His Majesty, and I just happened to pass by. It is also a kind of fate to help the Dongjing family out of the dangerous situation." Cao Yang had to re-examine Liuxi, and the Xishan Liu family announced to the world, saying that this woman is ambitious Trying to assassinate his own father in vain and replace him, now it seems that it is not groundless.

Liu Xi is by no means an easy-going person.The Xishan Liu family did not take her life, but they were afraid that they would suffer catastrophe later.

Sure enough, as Madam Ye said, winning Liuxi alone is far better than a thousand troops from the imperial court.

Since Liuxi gave the steps first, it would be best to strike while the iron is hot.

"I've heard a little about Mr. Jing, it's a pity." After speaking, Cao Yang looked at Jing Lan, "Master Jing, don't blame the court for not sending troops to stop Liu Su this time."

Jing Lan said in a deep voice: "The imperial court has difficulties, and I also understand." After a short pause, she caught a glimpse of Liu Xi's wink from the corner of her eye, and she continued, "Liu Su's army suddenly stopped, it must be Did the imperial court send out surprise soldiers?"

Hearing these words, Cao Yang was secretly startled, Jing Lan had seen the situation so clearly at such a young age.

If this person grows a few years longer, he will indeed be a character!

Cao Yang nodded slightly, "Her army came in a threatening manner, and the imperial court forcibly stopped her, which was the worst policy of the strategists. Let her enter Dongfuzhou, and then send heavy troops to occasionally cause trouble at the border of the three states under her jurisdiction. What she wants is her dilemma." He deliberately re-read the words "dilemma", the implication of which is obvious.

The Dongjing family is also in the same dilemma.

Even if it is an alliance, Cao Yang has to control the absolute initiative.

"The imperial court can stop her army, but that group of crazy dogs in Shura Court who are blind to money, I'm afraid no one in the world can control them." Liu Xi sighed heavily on purpose.

Jing Lan took advantage of the situation and said with hatred: "Wei Jianbai colluded with Shura Ting and harmed my elder brother. If we don't avenge this revenge, we will not share the sky!"

The two of them actually threw the quarrel back.

Cao Yang has been in Lidu for many years, and it was the first time he saw such a powerful uncle and sister-in-law.

Forget it, now that Mrs. Jing has stated what she wants, Cao Yang doesn't need to be coy anymore, "Master Jing, if I can help you take revenge, are you willing to cooperate with me for a while?"

Jing Lan pretended to be excited, "Is this true?!"

Cao Yang replied in a deep voice: "Of course it is true. The imperial court has been weak for many years. If the Wei family's military power in the three northwestern states can be taken back, it will be a good thing for the people of the world!"

"I still have three conditions." Liu Xi said suddenly.

Both Jing Lan and Cao Yang looked over.

Liu Xi's face was full of frost, with a dignified expression, "One, I want the soldiers and horses of the East Fuzhou Prefecture to be stationed within three miles of Haicheng, so as to ensure that Haicheng will not be harassed by the Shura guards."

"Okay." Cao Yang agreed.

Liu Xi said again: "Second, there are rumors in the world that I murdered my father to seek power, which is a great treason. When the truth is revealed, I want the imperial court to issue a document and make a list of the world, stating what the truth is?"

Mother is innocent, she must pay the price for those who framed her!

Cao Yang was stunned for a moment, hearing Liu Xi's words, it seems that the water of the Liu family in Xishan is not shallow.

"Okay." Cao Yang agreed again.

"As for the third thing..." Liu Xi glanced at Jing Lan, "In order to assist the son-in-law in a legitimate way, I need the court to give Alan a legitimate official position."

Jing Lan was slightly startled, she didn't want to be an official.

Cao Yang knew what kind of official Liu Xi wanted, he looked at Liu Xi hesitantly, and was not in a hurry to answer.

"Combining will benefit both, and dividing will harm both." Liu Xi simply pointed out the stakes, "You don't need to reply immediately today." Please move over for a drink."

Cao Yang waved his hand, "I still have important things to do today, so I don't need to have a drink." After finishing speaking, Cao Yang got up, looked at Jing Lan and then at Liu Xi with deep meaning, which one is more important, he One or two must be rethought.

"In that case, we will wait in Haicheng for the good news of the son-in-law." Liu Xi lowered his head slightly.

Cao Yang nodded, without another word, got up and walked out of the hall.

"Send off the son-in-law." Liu Xi gave Jing Yuan a wink, Jing Yuan nodded hurriedly, caught up with Cao Yang, and sent him to the outside of Haicheng.

After Cao Yang walked away, Jing Lan couldn't help but said, "I don't want to be an official!"

"I know." Liu Xi replied warmly, and before Jing Lan could say another word, Liu Xi gave her reasons, "It's nice for a fox to pretend to be a tiger for a while, but it's not a long-term thing." If you really want to get a piece of tiger skin off."

Jing Tan was confused, "What kind of tiger skin does my sister-in-law want?"

Madam Ye, everyone can guess what is the origin?I believe that some smart friends must have guessed right this time.

(PS: Back then Jing An’s first wife, Yezhen, died, Jing An also died, and Jing Xiaotian also died, so please stop guessing about them.)
