Dragon Warrior

Chapter 174 Cao Wujiu Fished Himself ([-])
Today's business in Taibailou is very deserted, there are only five or six tables of guests, there are martial arts people, wealthy businessmen, and landlords who don't have ordinary clothes.

Seeing the arrival of the guests, the shopkeeper hurriedly called the waiter to greet them.Cao Wujiu took a look at everyone and asked doubtfully, "When I came here some time ago, you were not the shopkeeper. Could it be that Taibailou has changed owners?"

The shopkeeper was in his thirties, with a shrewd look on his face, and said with a smile: "The guest officer doesn't know, the original shopkeeper is my uncle, who is not a local. Now that he is back home to prepare for the New Year, he entrusts me to help him." Take care of the restaurant for a while."

Cao Wujiu snorted, and said, "Why is Xiaoer even a stranger?"

The shopkeeper said: "It's been snowing heavily for the past few days, something happened to Xiaoer's house, so I had to temporarily hire a buddy to take care of it for a while."

Cao Wujiu nodded, then stopped talking, handed the iron bowl in his hand to Xiaoer, said: "These four fish should be steamed and braised separately, and the 40-year-old Shixian wine in Laitan should be done quickly."

Xiao Er took the fish and hurriedly took it to the kitchen, asking the chef to prepare it as required.Then brought a large jar of wine and put it on the table of the two of them.

The young man invited the waiter, ordered a large table of the most expensive dishes in the store, and settled the bill with the jar of wine.

After a while, the waiter was busy serving various steaming dishes.

The young man poured a large bowl of wine for Cao Wujiu very politely, and then poured a bowl for himself, and raised the bowl to respect each other.Cao Wujiu wasn't too polite, he took a big gulp straight away, burped comfortably, and said, "If you have anything to say, can you say it now?"

The young man smiled and said: "Since senior Cao is impatient, the younger generation dare not show off. This matter has to start with the leader of the noble clan. Although the leader of the noble clan Xiao is superb in martial arts and praised by everyone, this junior thinks that this is a character. Compared with the elders, he is far behind."

Cao Wujiu narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"

The young man was still talking eloquently, and said: "I know that the senior is dissatisfied with the younger generation's questioning of the character of the leader of your clan, but if the senior knows what the leader of your clan is doing, I think there will be no objection."

Cao Wujiu squinted his eyes to look at the young man, said: "Go on."

The young man poured another bowl of wine for Cao Wujiu, and said: "As the mainstay of the Han people, Chief Xiao is supposed to swear against the Mongols, but he is entangled with the Mongol Princess, and has a passion for adultery. For this reason, he openly threatened to repay his kindness at the martial arts conference, but it really made me and other martial arts heroes heartbroken."

Cao Wujiu hummed, took another sip of wine, seemed to agree with the young man's words.

The young man went on to say: "After all, this is the private matter of Chief Xiao. As long as the festival is not bad, it is not a big deal, but if you betray your ancestors and betray the heroes of the Central Plains martial arts for the sake of the Mongolian witch, then..."

Cao Wujiu slammed the bowl on the table and said coldly: "Say, tell me everything you know."

The young man said: "Yes, yes! Seniors, please don't get angry. If you lose your temper, it's not worth it. Leader Xiao has been seeing the dragon for a while, and everyone thinks he's staying on Junshan, but the younger generation knows that he In fact, I went to Dadu to look for the princess of the Ruyang Palace. However, he has been there for half a year and has not heard from him. Isn’t Elder Cao not aware of it? It stands to reason that Chief Xiao has a thousand-mile horse in his hand, and he can go back and forth no more than three times. It's been a month, but now it's been a long time since I returned, it seems a bit unusual."

Cao Wujiu's face was covered with dark clouds, he said: "It's a bit unusual."

The young man said: "The younger generation got reliable news that Chief Xiao entered the palace, was set up by King Ruyang, and was trapped in the underground secret room, and could not get out."

Cao Wujiu opened his eyes and said in shock: "Is what you said true?"

The young man said earnestly: "It is absolutely true, this junior dares to guarantee it with his life."

Cao Wujiu's face was gloomy, he squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Even the gang doesn't know about such a confidential matter, how did you know?"

The young man said: "To tell you the truth, this junior has some means and connections in the capital city, so he inadvertently knew all the plots of King Ruyang. Because the matter involved the noble gang, he rushed to report the news."

Cao Wujiu said: "In this way, you are a person with a warm heart and a righteous heart? Well, go ahead."

The young man said solemnly: "Senior, please listen to this junior. After King Ruyang trapped Clan Master Xiao, he first threatened and lured him, and then tortured him in every possible way. Finally, he promised that if Clan Master Xiao was willing to surrender to the imperial court, he would suppress the Central Plains martial arts heroes for him. If so, he will marry his daughter to Chief Xiao, and raise troops to usurp the throne at the right time. After a hundred years in the future, he will pass the throne to Chief Xiao and the son of the princess. Chief Xiao is also an ordinary person after all. Second, I couldn't stand the princess's persuasion every day, and third, I thought about the wealth and wealth of my heirs, so I agreed to King Ruyang's conditions, so I surrendered to the Mengyuan court."

Water dripped from Cao Wujiu's face, he said, "Have you finished?"

The young man was taken aback, and said: "This is the news about the life and death of your gang."

Cao Wujiu got up and said: "Okay." Then he turned around and wanted to leave.

The young man smiled and said, "What do you mean, senior?"

Cao Wujiu said with a blank face: "You talk, I'll drink, after you finish talking, I'll leave. Is there anything wrong?"

The young man's smile froze, and he said, "Senior, don't you believe what this junior says?"

Cao Wujiu sneered and said, "Boy, do you think I'm a fool because you've tried your best to sow discord and slander the leader of this clan? With King Ruyang's ability, can you trap the leader?"

The young man forced a smile, and said, "What if you add the Taoist who has advanced in martial arts and the second most poisonous man in the world? If Chief Xiao is not prepared, of course it will be difficult to escape from the murderous hands."

Cao Wujiu's complexion darkened, and he said: "Okay, even if according to what you said, the leader of the gang was unfortunately trapped by King Ruyang, how arrogant is it to be a dragon and a phoenix for the leader of the gang? How could he be overwhelmed by the mere prosperity and suffering of flesh and blood? It is impossible to surrender to the imperial court just to marry the princess, do you know that the princess has already turned to the light for her before that? What is your ulterior purpose in deliberately sowing dissension?"

The young man smiled wryly and said: "The younger generation is telling the truth, and doing so is also for the sake of the seniors. Since Chief Xiao has surrendered to the court, he can no longer be the chief of the Beggars' Sect. Elder Cao has worked hard and made great achievements. This position of chief may not be able to compete with Shi Huolong. The last robbing, now that you know the news first, you can start preparing as soon as possible, isn't the position of the leader a sure thing?"

Cao Wujiu slammed the table into pieces with a fist, and said: "I, Cao Wujiu, a well-known hero, look up and have no shame in others, how can I be deceived by you, a villain with evil intentions, and do outrageous things for the sake of power? . Boy, tell me your name, the old man wants you to know what will happen to you if you hit my beggar gang's idea."

The young man finally stopped laughing, and his complexion gradually turned cold, cursing: "The old thing of toasting and not eating fine wine, I wanted to make you rich, since you don't know what to do, then don't blame me for being cruel."

Cao Wujiu sneered disdainfully and said, "Finally showing your true colors? Come on, come here, tell me thousands of dollars, let me see what kind of rat you are?"

The young man said coldly: "You are about to become a prisoner, so it's okay to tell you. My surname is Chen, and my cursive character is Youliang. I am an apprentice of Hunyuan Thunderbolt Master Cheng Kun."

Cao Wujiu suddenly said: "It turned out to be the disciple of that despicable and shameless villain, no wonder I taught you such an insidious and cunning little bastard. Go away and give me a punch."

Cao Wujiu jumped up suddenly, and punched Chen Youliang with his casserole-sized fist, but he jumped several feet high, suddenly felt dizzy, his whole body was limp and weak, and fell to the ground with a thud.

With such a big commotion between the two, the drinkers around should have been alarmed long ago, but the strange thing is that none of these people paid any attention to it, no one asked a question at all, even the shopkeeper and the waiter had a picture of each other. The appearance of watching a play, watching coldly from the sidelines.

Chen Youliang burst out laughing, and said to Cao Wujiu, who was limp on the ground: "How? Is it okay to play this game? I wanted to cooperate with you, let you become the leader of the beggar gang, and then use it for me, but I didn't expect you You are so stubborn. Let me tell you, you are the one who has no predecessors in the world. After being poisoned, it is better to sit still. Otherwise, you only need to take one step, and you will be immobilized and slaughtered by others. "After that, there was another burst of laughter.

Cao Wujiu opened his eyes and said, "You..., you are so bold..."

Chen Youliang smiled and said: "I just treated Elder Cao of the Beggar Gang graciously, and we both got very drunk, and we have become best friends ever since, what is so bold about it?"

Cao Wujiu couldn't hear the meaning behind Chen Youliang's words, pointed at him with both hands, and wanted to yell at him, but felt that his whole body was getting weaker and weaker, and finally his head tilted and he passed out.

Seeing that the show was over, those diners hurriedly got up one by one, came to stand behind Chen Youliang, and the shopkeeper said humanely: "What should we do next?"

Chen Youliang said coldly: "Since this old man doesn't know good from bad, let's directly start the second step of the plan to see if everyone is not tempted by the position of the gang leader."

Two hours later, Cao Wujiu, the leader of the Beggar Clan, got drunk again in Taibai Tower, and was notified by the shopkeeper to join the disciples of the Beggar Clan.When the help disciples arrived, Cao Wujiu and Chen Youliang were dancing and punching, and they wanted to toast to drink, but they poured a glass of wine on their noses.

The Beggar Clan disciple shook his head, quickly picked up the elder, and then quickly sent him back to Junshan.
