Huang Shaojie followed the housekeeper to Cao Mansion.

Cao Renqi, with a bandage on his chest, met Huang Shaojie in the reception hall.

“Huang Shaojie, the bannerman of Jinyiwei, has met Mr. Cao.”

Huang Shaojie raised his hand towards Cao Renqi.

Although Jinyiwei is said to be a third-level military officer, Cao Renqi is a fourth-grade military attache after all, which is six levels higher than Huang Shaojie, a seventh-grade military general.

Cao Renqi also hurriedly raised his hands and returned the greeting: “Mr. Huang, you’re welcome. Please take a seat quickly.”

Then, he ordered the maid to serve tea.

After taking a sip of tea and saying a few polite words, Huang Shaojie asked: “Master Cao, please tell me about the assassination last night!”

Cao Renqi was still a little disappointed that Niu Ren only sent a general banner.

Although there are many masters in Jinyiwei, no matter how high the martial arts of a general banner is, how high can it be?

Moreover, judging from the fact that Huang Zongqi is young, in his early twenties at most, he is a young boy with little experience. In terms of martial arts, he is probably just entering the innate realm.

Niu Ren sent such a young boy to catch the assassin, which was obviously just for perfunctory purposes.

Cao Renqi immediately felt pain in his heart for the three hundred taels of gold he had given away.

Although I was very disappointed, I still said:

“Last night around three o’clock, I was having sex with the maid in my room. The assassin suddenly shot a flying knife through the window, piercing my heart. Fortunately, I reacted quickly, so I was a little off. Shot in the heart.”

Cao Renqi told the story of the assassination last night until the assassin escaped.

Damn it, you’re such a nigga, you’re still toying with the maid in the middle of the night, you’re living a pretty happy life these days!

Huang Shaojie cursed secretly in his heart.

Then he asked: “So, this assassin’s martial arts is very powerful.”

This Cao Renqi was able to become a captain officer, so he must have strong martial arts skills, and the guards and guards in the mansion must also be masters.

But this assassin can come and go freely, and his martial arts skills can be imagined.

Cao Renqi nodded and said: “Based on my fight with him last night, his martial arts skills are not inferior to mine. If I hadn’t been attacked by him, I wouldn’t have been shot by a flying knife. I would have captured him last night.” Caught.”

Cao Renqi didn’t lie. If he wasn’t focused on his work, it would be difficult for the assassin to hurt him. With him personally taking action and leading the siege with his guards, the assassin might not have been able to escape last night.

Huang Shaojie asked: “I wonder what level Master Cao’s martial arts has reached?”

Cao Renqi said: “First-grade master realm.”

Huang Shaojie said: “So, this assassin’s martial arts is probably at the level of a first-class grandmaster?”

He suddenly felt confident.

As a first-grade grandmaster, he is still confident that he can handle it.

Cao Renqi nodded slightly: “This assassin has at least entered the Grandmaster realm, but he should not have reached the second-level Grandmaster level yet.”

After saying that, he glanced at Huang Shaojie and asked deliberately: “I wonder if Mr. Huang is confident that he can deal with this assassin?”

Cao Renqi was deliberately sarcastic at Huang Shaojie. The implication was that this assassin’s martial arts had reached the level of a grandmaster. You, the commander-in-chief, should stop messing around. Even if you met this assassin, you would only be serving food. .

Huang Shaojie smiled slightly and said noncommittally: “You don’t have to worry about this, Master Cao. Since Niu Qianhu sent me to help Master Cao catch the assassin, I must complete the task assigned to me by Niu Qianhu.”

After hearing this, Cao Renqi couldn’t help but smile to himself. This little general bannerman is not a big man, but his tone is not small.

As an assassin who has reached the master level of martial arts, you actually dare to say that you can complete the mission?

Is it possible that your martial arts has also entered the Grandmaster realm?

Haha, this is impossible.

Although Cao Renqi had some contempt in his heart, he still did not dare to show it directly on his face, lest he offend Huang Shaojie.

Even if he is a fourth-grade military attache, he would not dare to offend a seventh-grade Jin Yiwei Commander-in-Chief.

Cao Renqi took a sip of tea and smiled: “So, Mr. Huang’s martial arts must be better than this assassin’s, so I can rest assured.”

Although the words did not sound sarcastic at all, they were somewhat teasing.

Huang Shaojie also took a sip of tea and said calmly: “Master Cao, there is no need to inquire about my martial arts skills. You only need to understand one thing. Since Niu Qianhu sent me here to help Master Cao capture the assassin, he must have his reasons. Does Mr. Cao not trust us, Niu Qianhu?”

This statement is a bit gunpowder.

Huang Shaojie knew that it was still difficult for him, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, to suppress Cao Renqi, the captain, so he brought Niu Ren, the member of the Jinyiwei Qianhu, out to suppress Cao Renqi.

Niu Renke was the highest commander of the Suzhou Jinyi Guards, equivalent to the imperial envoy sent by the emperor to supervise hundreds of officials in Suzhou.

Not to mention Cao Renqi, the fourth-rank captain, even the third-rank governor treated Niu Ren respectfully and did not dare to offend him in the slightest.

If Huang Shaojie goes back and talks bad words about Niu Ren, Cao Renqi will probably be left with nothing to eat.

Cao Renqi quickly raised his hands and said, “Mr. Huang has misunderstood. I don’t mean to distrust Niu Qianhu at all. If I made any inappropriate remarks just now, please bear with me.”

Seeing how honest this guy was, Huang Shaojie secretly felt happy!

Being on duty in Jinyiwei is just a matter of provocation. No matter how big an official you are, as long as you don’t like you, they will directly attack you. I’m sorry that they don’t dare to provoke Jinyiwei easily.

“I just said it casually, Mr. Cao, don’t be nervous.”

Huang Shaojie took a sip of tea and smiled.

Cao Renqi breathed a sigh of relief and started laughing along with him.

“Master Cao, who in the world of martial arts have you offended?”

Huang Shaojie asked.

Cao Renqi thought for a while and shook his head: “Although I have dealt with people in the world and had some minor frictions, there is no deep hatred. I should not take the risk of assassinating me.”

Huang Shaojie asked again: “Who have you offended in the officialdom?”

Cao Renqi said: “Of course there are some political opponents in the officialdom, but officialdom fights generally do not resort to assassination, but try to impeach and bring down the opponent.”

Huang Shaojie nodded slightly.

From this point of view, this assassin should still come from an enemy family.

However, Cao Renqi probably couldn’t remember who he had offended, or in other words, who he had killed.

After all, Cao Renqi was a captain who commanded tens of thousands of troops, and a lot of people should have died at his hands.

Huang Shaojie got up and walked around thinking for a while, stopped and said:

“Master Cao, this assassin failed in his assassination. He will definitely come to assassinate you again. During this time, I will stay with you and act as your personal bodyguard.”

Cao Renqi cupped his hands and said, “That’s very good, but I would be wronging Mr. Huang.”

Huang Shaojie waved his hand and said: “It doesn’t matter. However, since the assassin’s operation failed this time, he will probably be more careful and will not come to assassinate easily again.”

“Let’s see. Master Cao posted a notice, looking for famous doctors to come and treat your injuries. When the assassin sees you, he will definitely think that you are seriously injured. He might pretend to be a famous doctor and come to treat you, and then take the opportunity to assassinate Master Cao.”

“In this way, I can catch this assassin.”
