But I'm a male fox

The fox became very playful, and after a while, he secretly thought of a dozen ways to punish...

Soon, the sacrifice really began.

The crowd gathered in front of the temple, some revered, some frightened, and some dazed.

With the support of the local gentlemen, Granny Jiang had someone capture the little girl from yesterday, while she herself wore weird and gorgeous clothes, held incense and talisman papers, and jumped up and down in front of the statue transformed by Li Cheng .

Just when Li Cheng felt that it was almost done and wanted to make a move, the sound of horseshoes suddenly came from outside the temple.

"Stop for me!"

wait, this voice...

Why is Miss Cao here?

Chapter 280 My Family Fights the Hardest

half a month ago.

Cao family fief, inside the ancestral hall.

Cao Yueying respectfully finished offering incense, staring at the memorial tablet of former Patriarch Cao Ming, she couldn't help but sighed softly.

"Uncle, if you have knowledge under the spring, seeing the current Cao family, I'm afraid you will be able to recover from anger..."

Talking to herself, she recalled the recent absurd things.

Three months ago, Cao Ming, who was in charge of the Cao family for ten years, passed away due to illness.Since then, his older brother Cao Feng has taken control of the Cao family by virtue of his seniority and seniority.

Although he is also Cao Yueying's uncle, this Cao Feng has completely opposite temperament from Cao Ming.

Perhaps in order to repay the depression of being overwhelmed by his younger brother for ten years, he has continuously overturned his predecessor's strategy since the first day he took power.

In the past, the Cao family, like other families, was full of extravagance, but on the whole they would recharge their batteries and make money quietly, trying to balance the relationship with the court and other families as much as possible, in order to survive the troubled times smoothly. .

However, under the leadership of Cao Feng, the Cao family showed their sharpness and acted as the vanguard in the struggle of all parties in the court. In the local area, they got very close to the Wang family who became more and more ambitious, and even faintly had the tendency to take refuge.

At the same time, he scattered money lavishly in the fief, intensifying the atmosphere of pleasure in the clan, and repeatedly dispatched troops to subjugate dissident forces in the Quartet, quickly consuming the huge family wealth that Cao Ming had accumulated...

Actually, it's not that Cao Yueying hates aggressive strategies.

But in her opinion, the reason why this uncle Cao Feng colluded with the Wang family externally and indulged in extravagance internally was only because he was in power not long ago and wanted to please all parties and stabilize his position in the clan.

It would be fine if the motives were impure, but Miss Cao also found that this uncle had poor eyesight, and he took the initiative to attack a few times, either he was indecisive and missed the opportunity, or he chose the wrong target from the beginning, wasting his strength for nothing... ....

"Miss Third?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Cao Yueying stopped thinking, turned her head, smiled at the old servant with the broom, and said, "Thank you, Uncle Qiao."

"It's not hard, it's not hard."

The old servant surnamed Qiao grinned his mouth with few teeth left, bowed and said: "I am very satisfied to be able to continue to accompany the master here, but..."

Halfway through his speech, he showed a sad expression: "Miss San, there have been a lot of bad rumors at home recently..."

"Uncle Qiao, there are some things, just think about them in your heart, don't say them in front of others."

"...Yes, miss."

After Cao Yueying gave her instructions, she left the ancestral hall and returned to the courtyard.

On the way, she saw monks escorting some graceful women with wings on their backs who were bound by chains.

"A bird demon slave?"

Seeing the expensive plaything in front of her that was hard to buy, Cao Yueying frowned slightly.

On the opposite side, two handsome young men who were also watching the bird demon came over and greeted Cao Yueying: "Cousin/cousin!"

Cao Yueying blinked, and recognized the person as Cao Feng's eldest son, Cao Zhong.And next to him is Wang Zihui, a member of the royal family who had met several times in the capital.

Well, it was the Shuoshu who resold military supplies under her nose.

These two have gotten very close recently...

Cao Yueying suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and greeted them one by one with her usual expression.

Then Cao Zhong said with a smile: "The weather is fine today, do you want my cousin to go hunting with us?"

Cao Yueying shook her head and declined the proposal.

The two sides crossed.

After a while, Cao Zhong bid farewell to Wang Zihui and called on his father Cao Feng.

Cao Feng asked: "Zhong'er, is there any change in my niece?"

"No, it's just keeping a distance from me as always."

Cao Zhong said with resentment: "The haughty look on her face is disgusting, isn't it just a better talent? Do you think Uncle Ming can continue to protect her?"

"It's fine if you don't make trouble."

Cao Feng took a sip of tea and said: "She came to me yesterday and said that she wanted to make up for the lack of soldiers in the Yamabara Province. Then you will be out of sight and out of mind."

"Father intends to promise her?"

"It's not that you are not up to date! Hey, she is the only one in the clan who has enough qualifications to convince the government and the public. Do I have a choice?"

Cao Feng sighed and said, "No matter what, it's good for us to have one more general in the family. And after she leaves, those who miss my good brother will lose a lot of help, and it will be easier to clean up."

"When we stabilize the family, she is a woman, what kind of trouble can she cause?"

"Goodbye, Daddy..."

a few days later.

Cao Yueying got the documents and official seals from the imperial court, and left the fief with a group of old disciples, Shanyuan Province in the northwest of the front.

On the way, Liu Kai found her secretly and said:

"My lord, I have talked about it in private. Although the priests remain neutral, most of the generals are very dissatisfied with the behavior of the new Patriarch..."

"It's not enough just to be dissatisfied... If they haven't made up their minds, there's no point in us coming out."

"So the lord is planning to retreat to advance?"

"My uncle still has a lot of ideas that haven't been implemented. If I don't leave, he can't let go~"

Cao Yueying smiled faintly, and said with confidence, "The longer the time goes on, the more people will support me. There is no rush for this matter." '

...If Li Cheng were here, he would definitely make complaints about it. This is a strategy to drive people crazy before they can be destroyed.

Cao Yueying and her party walked for several days, and finally arrived in Shanyuan Province.

As a large northern province, the former commander-in-chief here was killed by Ma Changping, the adopted son of the former general, in a field battle outside the city—speaking of which, he had the same enemy as Cao Yueying.

However, after the war of invasion to the south, these adopted sons suffered heavy losses from the reinforcements from the imperial court. After the battle, they slipped away to the grasslands further north. Cao Yueying had no choice but to take revenge.

On the day she entered Fucheng, the governor led a group of officials out and personally hosted a banquet to welcome her.

After returning to the mansion, Wei Tong reported: "The governor of this place is a former colleague of Patriarch Cao, and he has had a lot of correspondence with our family recently..."

"So, he's a half-worker? My uncle really doesn't trust me."

Cao Yueying smiled freely, with a plan in mind.

In the days that followed, she handed over all the work to her subordinates, while she focused on traveling around the province and being an empty-headed soldier.

There are plenty of such officials in the field, so no one bothered to ask, especially the governor of Shanyuan Province. After seeing this situation, he became even more enthusiastic about Cao Yueying, and even recommended several beautiful treasure lands on his own initiative.

After a long time, everyone in the province thought that Cao Yueying was a child of an aristocratic family with no ambitions and no talent for cultivation.

As a monk, it's not surprising that you concentrate on pursuing your own strength and progress, and despise the official status.

As everyone knows, wherever Cao Yueying went, she sent people to secretly collect information about the mountains and rivers, the number of households, the number of troops, and the distribution of military pay.In the middle of the night, she would also gather the diners to discuss the unsolvable chores left over from the General Military Mansion.

Although she was derelict on the surface, in private, Miss Cao was very conscientious.

On this day, Cao Yueying suddenly heard that in a nearby place called Tea Town, someone openly worshiped the white fox demon.

The first time she heard the news, she couldn't help but think of a familiar fox.

"Interesting, let's go and see."

When she arrived at the place, by coincidence, she saw Granny Jiang who was dancing the great god.

Even though she is a martial artist and has no spiritual sense, Cao Yueying judged based on experience and intuition that this old woman's cultivation level has not even reached the third rank.

Seriously, why do little devils dare to show their heads in the local area now?

So teach her a lesson!

inside the temple.

Li Cheng was pretending to be a god, and watched Cao Yueying rush in, and unceremoniously smacked Granny Jiang's face with a big punch.

There was a snap, resounding through the sky.

Missy is very angry!

Granny Jiang was stunned by this blow.

The old woman was trembling with anger, pointed at Cao Yueying and said, "Who are you, how dare you offend the Great Immortal White Fox!? Quickly kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy, otherwise, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

Cao Yueying put her hips on her hips and smiled arrogantly.

She is too lazy to talk nonsense, she is just another big pussy.

"If you can get Nao Shizi, the White Fox Immortal, to punish me, do it quickly, I can't wait."

"you you......"

After all, Granny Jiang was too weak, she had no ability to see Cao Yueying's true cultivation, she just felt that she was a rude warrior from outside, and she just wanted to make an example of others.

With a blushing face, she ran to Li Cheng, pretending to pray, and then said to the townspeople outside the temple: "Everyone has seen it, it's not that the old woman is unforgiving! It's just that this foreigner is too mean and rude. , angered the Great Immortal, and asked for death!"

After speaking, she began to gather spiritual power in her hands.

Li Cheng looked intently and judged that it should be a wood-earth spell with little power. It was very dangerous to ordinary people, but to Miss Cao...

It can also make people sneeze.

At that moment, with a thought in his mind, he took a breath, blowing away the aura needed for this spell in the air.

Then, he manipulated the body of the statue, turned it 180 degrees on the spot, faced the wall by himself, and turned his back to everyone.

It looked like she didn't want to control Granny Jiang anymore.

Granny Jiang was completely confused this time.

Why did the spell fail halfway through casting?

And this idol... This idol is obviously just an ordinary lump of mud!Why did you really react?

Could it be...

Is there really a White Fox Immortal in this world who feels that he has faked his name and wants to punish him?

Impossible, absolutely impossible, it's all about the woman in front of me...

"puff."

Cao Yueying's laugh broke Grandma Jiang's wild thoughts.

"It seems that your great immortal has abandoned you."

Miss Cao glanced at Li Cheng curiously, and then slapped Granny Jiang on the shoulder. Not only did she slap her kneeling on the ground, but she also sealed the spiritual power in her body with a huge amount of true energy.

Then she raised her hand and asked her followers to take the terrified Granny Jiang away, then stood in front of the townspeople, said a few words in a loud voice, calmed down everyone's emotions, and let them go back to their respective homes.

Soon, the bustling temple just now was emptied, and the grandpa and grandson who were chosen as sacrifices also returned home safely.

At this moment, Cao Yueying walked up to the statue.

"The turning around just now was very interesting. I thought you were just an ordinary statue, but I didn't expect you to have some skills, tsk tsk... So, who are you?"

After finishing speaking, she repeated her old trick and slapped it with a single palm.

Seeing this, Li Cheng maintained the appearance of the god statue, jumped off the platform, and avoided the palm.

Seeing that Miss Cao was about to come after her, he kept running, like a Qing Dynasty zombie who had met Lin Zhengying, jumped out of the temple and fled into the distant mountains and forests.

It's not that he deliberately didn't recognize Cao Yueying, it's just that he felt that at this moment...
