Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

Upon hearing about Nan Anbo, the rest of the Cao family showed surprise and joy, and they were obviously also touched.

Although they are simple-minded, they are not stupid. They still have basic common sense and situation judgment.

The Bo Meng family of Nan'an is the founding earl of the country. He is hereditary and has taken root in Nan'an County for more than a hundred years. He has accumulated it over several generations. In terms of reputation and strength alone, he can be said to be one of the top families in Jizhou. In fact, he is not much weaker than the Marquis of Beining. , in Nan'an itself, it was even more prestigious, and to a certain extent it had control over the imperial court.

The Cao family is also in awe of the Meng family. After all, if they offend the forces from other counties such as the Marquis of Beining, they can still hide in the mountains and wait until the storm has passed before going back down the mountain. But if they offend the Meng family, the Meng family's local power will With great strength and foundation, they can really turn the Cao family into mountain savages, something they will never even think about in this life.

Not long ago, Beining Hou, Chengyi Bo, Jiuyuan Clan and other forces formed an alliance. In fact, one of the purposes was to gather everyone's power and put pressure on Nan'an Bo Meng family.

Because there are rumors that the Meng family has obtained detailed information about the dragon and will soon go up the mountain to search.

There is a saying that is very common, but very true, that is, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.

The Meng family and the Lei family are absolutely at odds with each other, and there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. And now that they have offended the Lei family and the Yang family, they might have a chance to cooperate.

It was precisely because of this thought that the three generations of the Cao family present expressed joy. If the Meng family was backing them, why should they be afraid of the Lei family and the Yang family?

However, although the reputation of the Meng family is high, it has been accumulated for more than a hundred years and has been developed subtly. Compared to the Meng family, the name Meng Zhao is much unfamiliar, and not many people present knew it at that time.

This is normal. Meng Zhao does have quite a reputation. One is because he defeated Shi Siming in Fire Dragon Cave. The other is that Shen Tianci valued him and cited him as his future opponent. The third is that he was rumored to have killed Hu with his own hands. million.

However, not everyone knows these things, especially since the Cao family is located at the foot of Yunwu Mountain. They usually don't come into contact with many people, and their social circle and information channels are relatively closed, let alone the name of a mere acquired junior.

Cao Zhan laughed, his eyes full of curiosity and inquiry, and a hint of admiration, and said,

"Grandpa, my grandson knows some of this man's deeds. He is the second head of the Meng family. His father is the second brother of Nan'an Bo. He died early and left him alone. When he was eight years old..."

As Cao Zhan told the story, everyone in the room gradually learned about Meng Zhao's life. They knew that his parents died at a young age and he left his hometown alone. He was taken to the Daci'en Temple in the capital and spent ten years in poverty.

But gold will always shine, and ten years have not passed away for Meng Zhao. Not long after he returned to the Meng family, he did several big things one after another, gained a lot of fame, and was already recognized as a leader of the younger generation.

Boss Cao smashed his mouth, pinched his strong and thick beard, and said with envy,

"This boy is really lucky. He is a third-grade official and a close bodyguard of the emperor. He belongs to his grandmother. No wonder there are people in the court who are good at becoming officials."

He didn’t know that the so-called Tiangang Guards were only in name only and were a kind of honorary title. They were more noble than noble. The so-called third-grade official rank also only had a salary but no real power. If it weren’t for the support of the imperial court, he would not be an official. Thanks for the benefits, just like ordinary people.

In Boss Cao's mind, from the third rank, he is already a high-ranking official. After ten years in the temple, he can get such treatment. He also wants to do it, but unfortunately there is no way.

If you don’t believe me, just ask, how many monks in the world have been fasting and chanting Buddha’s name for more than ten years, and how many can become third-rank officials?

What's even more irritating is that he is not yet twenty years old this year, and he is a typical example of reaching the peak of life at a young age. I am so jealous of him.

After saying this, he looked at his son, who looked awkward, and couldn't help complaining,

"You brat, you pretend to be a young and talented person in front of me all day long. How can you compare your abilities with others?"

Cao Zhan immediately stopped talking, mainly because he knew his father's character, he was foul-mouthed and vain.

The second eldest son of the Five Tigers next to him, who was also Cao Zhan’s second uncle, was a little disdainful and snorted,

"Brother, you said yourself that there are people in the court who like to be officials. Our family has never been a soldier since my father. Are you dreaming about being an official compared with others?"

Cao Yan was also angry. Looking at his children and grandchildren below who were stimulated by the achievements of a little guy, he was furious.

"Shut up, dammit. If I hadn't had an adventure and learned martial arts, you would be nothing. How dare you complain that I'm not an official?"

The old man was so angry that it was as if the earth was shaking, and he immediately suppressed the noisy and talking Cao family.

Everyone didn't dare to take a breath. They communicated with each other with their eyes and shirked their responsibilities. Especially the eldest and second eldest brother, they were almost cross-eyed.

Cao Zhan saw something was wrong with the situation and quickly said,

"Grandpa, don't be angry. Although it is good to be an official, this world is still dominated by the weak. As long as our Cao family continues to grow and develop, and our people practice martial arts diligently and wait for the opportunity, who knows that there will be no time when we will be granted the title of marquis or general."

Only then did Cao Yan smile happily, looking at his beloved eldest grandson with extremely soft eyes, and sighed,

"My dear grandson, only you know my grandfather's painstaking efforts. If it weren't for the Cao family, with my ability, how could I not be able to behave like this?"

This is not wrong. Cao Yan is very capable and has a heroic spirit. If he can really get out of Yunwu Mountain early, he might not be able to achieve a great career.

Even if he has no chance to join the court, it is not impossible to hang out in the martial arts world and compete for hegemony in the martial arts world.

"That's all, let's not talk about these unhappy things. You go to the outside of the village to bring people in, be polite."

After giving the instructions to Cao Zhan in a pleasant manner, the old man became a little upset when he looked at the other nine guys with strong limbs and simple minds, and said angrily,

"As for the nine of you, don't stay here, don't be idle, go mobilize the clansmen and get them ready to move."

Boss Cao was a little unhappy and a little confused.

"Dad, since people from Nan'anbo are here, we should be able to recruit people to deal with the Lei family. Why should we ask the clan members to move?"

"Is there anything wrong with your mind? I am just a junior who came to visit me with an unclear purpose. How do you know that the Meng family is willing to help us resist the pressure from the Lei family?

In short, be fully prepared and you won't be beaten in a hurry, so get out of here. "

Boss Cao immediately left the house with his four younger brothers and four nephews. Cao Zhan was already there to greet Meng Zhao.

Cao Yan stayed alone in the room, feeling a little irritable and worried, but he was stimulated by the words spoken by Cao Lao and Cao Lao just now.

“Official status, official status, how can it be so good?

Even if you are highly skilled in martial arts and have made meritorious service in the military, you may not be able to stand out from the crowd.

To put it bluntly, if you want to succeed, it is not enough to be capable, you must also have connections.

Meng family, can it be done? Let’s take a look and talk about it. "
