Longevity Martial Arts Begins by Taking Care of the Queen

Chapter 61 Cao Tu
Cao Ze's carriage drove through the noisy downtown, passed through the outer city, the inner city, the capital city, and the imperial city, and finally arrived in front of the palace city.

Along the way, the carriage was speeding forward, and pedestrians voluntarily retreated to the side of the road. The expressions of any arrogant and domineering princes, princes, and distinguished relatives changed when they saw it. They did not dare to be disrespectful at all and gave way honestly.

Compared with when he left the city this morning, Cao Ze returned to the city with greater power and reputation. It was made of human heads and bones, and one general could become a skeleton of ten thousand bones.

Although Cao Ze deliberately kept a low profile and only traveled in one carriage without much fanfare, people with certain backgrounds in Zhengjing City knew the symbol of the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion, and even if they were in the opposite camp, they would be intimidated by it.

All forces in Zhengjing City were the first to receive news of the battle outside the city, and even this battle was watched by all forces from beginning to end.

Yesterday, General Chu Yuan was severely defeated. Today, Grand Master Lu Fengxian was killed. He also ordered the 30 elite troops of the White Tiger Army, Tianlang Army and Zhenyuan Army to be slaughtered, so that the plain outside the West City became a mountain of corpses. Sea of ​​blood.

Cao Ze has become synonymous with cruelty and ruthlessness in the eyes of all forces, and at the same time he has an additional title: "Cao Tu"!
The last person in the Daqian Dynasty to be given such a title was General Chu Yuan. He led his army to suppress the White Lotus Sect uprising and slaughtered three thousand miles of blood. Rivers of blood flowed and heads piled up like mountains. He was known as the "Slaughter of Chu". ".

In front of the palace, when the city guards saw Cao Ze's carriage, they immediately opened the palace gate and let the carriage pass.

Cao Ze is the cavalry general and the chief palace guard. The palace guards are theoretically under Cao Ze. He also has a pass to the palace and can enter and exit on his own. Naturally, the guards dare not stop him.

"Drive~Drive~"

At this time, a carriage came in a hurry and wanted to pass through the palace gate first. When the guards saw the carriage, their expressions suddenly changed.

They couldn't afford to offend the chariot and cavalry generals, and they didn't dare to offend the visitors. If the two sides clashed over the road, it would be a disaster for Chi Yu.

"It turned out to be her. What a coincidence."

In the carriage, Cao Ze's soul made a little exploration and knew who the person was.

Princess Zhaojun!

The last time he met the empress when she left the palace, Cao Ze met him here. Afterwards, Cao Ze inquired about Princess Zhaojun's information. This eldest princess was very unruly and willful, and was deeply loved by the queen mother. The empress also doted on her.

Unexpectedly, when he entered the palace to meet the empress this time, he met this unruly princess again.

"Uncle Fu, take shelter for now."

Cao Ze hesitated slightly and then said to Uncle Fu that he did not want to provoke the unruly Princess Zhaojun for the time being.

Uncle Fu immediately drove the carriage aside to clear the way into the palace.

The city guards suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little grateful in their hearts.

The princess's carriage was very fast. The princess hurried into the palace without knowing what was urgent, and soon arrived at the gate of the palace.

Inside the carriage, Princess Zhaojun opened the curtain and glanced outside. She happened to catch a glimpse of Cao Ze's carriage. When she saw the sign on the carriage, her eyes lit up and she quickly shouted: "Stop!"

"Appreciate~"

The carriage stopped, right next to Cao Ze's carriage.

"Is the chariot general Cao Shaoqing in the car?" A voice as sweet as a silver bell sounded in front of the palace gate.

Can't see the person, but hear the voice.

"Exactly." Cao Ze narrowed his eyes.

"General, please go first!" The pleasant voice sounded again.

Cao Ze raised his eyebrows, wondering what Princess Zhaojun was up to.He was rumored to be unruly and willful, but now he is quite polite to him and his voice is pleasant to the ear. Could it be that the rumors are wrong?

In a flash of thought, Cao Ze did not refuse, but said, "Thank you, princess."

Princess Zhaojun opened the curtain again, looked at the leaving carriage, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, a bright light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and muttered a few words to herself before ordering to move on.

After entering the palace, Cao Ze quickly forgot about the unexpected encounter with Princess Zhaojun, and kept thinking about the Empress and Empress on the way to the Yangxin Palace.

Today he gave the Empress another great gift. Even if the Empress doesn't repay her with a spring of water, she can let others repay her with a spring of water. Cao Ze is a man who appreciates kindness and he hopes that others will always be as grateful as he is.

Cao Ze took Xue Ningmei into the Yangxin Hall. The empress and Qingluan had been waiting for a while.

The empress glanced at Xue Ningmei and landed on Cao Ze. A smile appeared on her face and she said: "Young Master, you have given me another big surprise. What do you want? As long as you ask, I am sure Yes."

Qingluan only glanced at Cao Ze and then focused his attention on Xue Ningmei, with a faint fighting spirit in his eyes.

She had long sensed that this woman was not simple. She was not only beautiful, but also extremely strong. Today, it turned out to be exactly what she had guessed.

In the battle outside the city, Cao Ze stole the show, and Xue Ningmei also became famous all over the world. He killed the Grand Master of Heavenly Man in formation, which was an incredible achievement. In addition, Xue Ningmei killed Da Qian, the world-famous peak Grand Master, with his sword. Legendary.

"It is my duty to share your Majesty's worries, and there is no need for reward." Cao Ze once again refused the empress' reward, knowing that it was not time yet.

Cao Ze despised ordinary rewards. His goal was very clear. He wanted Emperor Qian's harem, no matter who he was in the current position. He also wanted the empress and Qingluan.

The Empress' words sounded nice, but if Cao Ze made such an "excessive" request, the Empress might have a different opinion, which would be detrimental to his future strategy. It would be better to increase the Empress' favorability and act like he would do everything for the Empress' sake without asking for anything in return. Selfless image.

After taking down the Empress, is there anything he wants?
Moreover, the Queen has not slept with the Empress yet. If he mentions these things now, it is easy to spoil the good things. Qingluan can't stand him, and I am afraid that he often speaks ill of him in the Empress's ears.

When the empress heard this, the smile on her face became even wider, she looked closer to Cao Ze, and her favorable impression of Cao Ze increased a lot.

Cao Zecai came to Beijing for a few days under the imperial edict. Not only did he stand firmly on her side and protect her from wind and rain, he also made great achievements and severely damaged Chu Yuan's prestige.

The two communicated for a while, and when they talked about the battle outside the city, the empress praised Cao Ze, calling him the pillar of the Great Wall and her white jade pillar holding the sky. With Cao Ze, she would no longer be afraid of General Chu Yuan. .

"Shaoqing, did you consider it inappropriate to order the annihilation of the three legions?" The empress said after careful consideration at the end.

"Why did your Majesty say this?" Cao Ze's eyes moved slightly.

"Ah~"

"The White Tiger Army, Sirius Army and Zhenyuan Army are all my elite troops. How good would it be if they were used to defend against foreign enemies?"

The empress sighed in her heart, and then said slowly: "I'm worried that Chu Yuan and the three kings will take the opportunity to cause trouble and make a big fuss about this matter. By then, rumors will spread all over the capital, which will be somewhat detrimental to your reputation."

"You have just entered the palace. I'm afraid you don't know something. Some people have already called you 'Cao Tu' and said that you are doing great evil."

When Cao Ze heard this, he sneered and said calmly: "Whoever kills a few people and runs amok is a thief or a bandit; whoever kills ten thousand people and runs around the world is a king, a prime minister, and a hero."

"What is good? What is evil?"

"If I can make the enemy fearful and frightened, if I can support the great cadres in danger, save the country from fire and water, and help your majesty to stabilize the world, then why can't I, Cao Ze, do great evil and do great good?"
