Chapter 156 In front of this governor, do you still want to escape?

Dongchang Station.

The five men in black fended off the factory guards' crossbow arrows and attacked Cao Shaoqin.

In the eyes of the five men in black, Cao Shaoqin was not Cao Zhengchun. If he were Cao Zhengchun, they would have turned around and ran away without saying a word.

But Cao Shaoqin was only at the peak of Grandmaster's strength and was not qualified to let them turn around and run away.

With the combined efforts of their two great masters and three lesser masters, even if they lose to Cao Shaoqin, there is still no problem in holding him back for the time being.

But who would have thought that instead of holding back Cao Shaoqin, the two great masters and the three lesser masters were knocked to the ground instantly by Cao Shaoqin's sword without even getting close to him.

It is true that Cao Shaoqin is at the peak of Grand Master's strength, but this does not mean that Cao Shaoqin's combat power is only at the level of Grand Master.

In fact, at the peak of Grandmaster Cao Shaoqin's strength, his combat power was not weaker than that of Half-Step Heavenly Man.

This is the horror of outstanding people.

After Cao Shaoqin retracted his soft sword from his waist, he did not take action again.

Of these men in black, only these five looked pretty good. The other men in black were more than enough to be dealt with by the factory guards.

Under the crossbows fired by the factory guards, these men in black fell to the ground one after another.

A small group of men in black blocked the crossbow arrows and charged towards them.

The factory guards also raised their crescent knives and rushed to greet him.

In the blink of an eye, these men in black were all killed by the factory guard's crescent knife and turned into corpses.

Cao Shaoqin walked up to the five men in black who fell to the ground instantly with his sword, raised his foot and stepped on one of the men in black; "This is the only reason why I spared your lives, you should know that I

What does the Overlord want to know?"

"Tell me, who sent you to sneak into Dongchang to rescue people?"

"How many manpower do you have in Luoyang?"

"Where are they hiding?

Cao Shaoqin looked down at the man in black who was trampled under his feet and asked coldly.

"Pooh."

"The imperial court eagle wants us to seek glory from our Lord. You are just talking nonsense. You'd better give up!"

The man in black said forcefully.

"Click."

Without any hesitation, Cao Shaoqin used his foot forcefully and directly broke the neck of the man in black beneath him.

Cao Shaoqin walked towards the next man in black.

Same tone, same question.

But the answer was the same as the first man in black, he was very tough and didn't speak. Cao Shaoqin stepped on their necks and broke their necks without saying a word.

When Cao Shaoqin walked up to the last man in black, the leader of the men in black, he still asked coldly, "What about you?"

"Aren't you willing to tell this governor?"

Cao Shaoqin has already seen that these men in black are all dead soldiers.

Originally, Cao Shaoqin left these five people alone because he wanted to find out who sent them to sneak into Dongchang to rescue people, and how many men they still had in Luoyang.

But now it seems that it is impossible.

None of these men in black will speak.

"Haha, none of them opened their mouths."

"Do you think I'll talk?"

The leader of the men in black sneered.

Cao Shaoqin still said nothing, stepped on the neck of the leader of the men in black, and sent him to see the King of Hell.

Since he was unwilling to speak, Cao Shaoqin stopped talking nonsense.

As for dragging him down and interrogating him through torture, Cao Shaoqin didn't have that spare time.

These men in black are all dead warriors, let’s not talk about whether they can pry open their mouths and ask what they say.

Even if one could pry open the mouths of these men in black, it would not be possible in a short while.

That doesn't make much practical sense.

"Immediately send someone to investigate for this governor. These people should be from the Fan family."

"There must be other accomplices, and people from the Fan family behind the scenes should also be in Luoyang."

"Let me, the governor, find these people."

After Cao Shaoqin trampled the leader of the men in black to death, he gave a direct order to the factory guards around him.

"Yes, Second Governor."

The factory guards all bowed and took orders.

…

Inside Luoyang City.

In a mansion with three entrances and three exits.

A man in his fifties was sitting in the hall, looking a little anxious.

This man in his fifties is an elder of the Fan family.

The purpose of his coming to Luoyang was to deal with Fan Yongdou's matter, and to see how far Shu King Zhou Zhi and others had progressed.

But at this moment, the head of the Fan family looked a little anxious.

He sent people to sneak into Dongchang to rescue Fan Yongdou, but a long time has passed and there is no news.

This made the elder of the Fan family feel a little worried.

"How long have they been gone?"

The head of the Fan family asked.

"Old Hui, they have been gone for almost an hour."

Someone next to me replied.

Has it been almost an hour?

The Fan family elder's eyes flickered and he shook his head; "We can't wait any longer. It seems that something happened to them when they sneaked into Dongchang to rescue people."

"Notify our people immediately and hide whatever you can."

"Everyone who can't be hidden will leave the city."

The elder of the Fan family had already realized something was wrong.

How long has it been? If everything goes well, he should be back by now.

But he hasn't come back yet, which already illustrates the problem.

The elder of the Fan family had to prepare for the worst.

"Yes, clan elder."

As soon as the man next to him finished speaking, he heard the door of the mansion being violently broken open.

what happened?

The face of the Fan family elder changed, and he immediately stood up and walked out of the hall.

As soon as he walked out of the hall, the elder of the Fan family saw a group of people wearing Feiying Mansion rushing in.

Dongchang factory guard?

The face of the Fan family elder changed drastically, and he immediately said loudly, "Kill out."

At this time, the elder of the Fan family could no longer think about how the people from Dongchang found them.

I don't have the time to think about anything else.

It's important to escape quickly.

You know, this is Luoyang, the center of the imperial court.

The Fan family was ordered to be killed by someone in the palace, and now Dongchang has discovered their traces. If they don't escape quickly, it will be too late.

Following the order from the elder of the Fan family.

The men hidden in the mansion attacked the guards of the East Factory one after another.

The sound of fighting suddenly started.

The elder of the Fan family jumped up, jumped onto the roof, and fled directly outside.

"snort."

"In front of this governor, do you still want to escape?"

"Can you escape?"

A cold snort sounded.

The soft sword on Cao Shaoqin's waist was unsheathed, and the sword energy struck the back of the elder of the Fan family.

The elder of the Fan family felt the danger on his back, turned around and jumped to avoid Cao Shaoqin's sword energy, but before he could react, he saw a cold light flash through.

Senhan's soft sword had already stabbed in front of him.

"puff."

Under the shocked gaze of the Fan family elder, the soft sword directly slashed his throat in a strange arc.

Streams of blood spurted out.

The elder of the Fan family rolled off the roof and fell to the ground, breathless.

Perhaps until his death, the elder of the Fan family never thought that his great master could be killed so easily with a single sword.

The other members of the Fan family below also died one by one under the factory guard's crescent knife.

Cao Shaoqin jumped off the roof and walked directly outside without even looking at the corpses.

"Walk."

"Go to the next hiding place of the Fan family's rebellion."

…

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo looked at the housekeeper in front of him and said solemnly, "What did you say?"

"You said that all the people from the Fan family who infiltrated the Dongchang were wiped out, and even the elder and others sent by the Fan family were killed by the Dongchang?"

Prime Minister Yuan Bo thought he had heard wrongly.

After Cao Zhengchun left Luoyang, there was no decent master in Dongchang.

Although the factory guards are quite capable, they are not qualified to deal with these people sent by the Fan family.

You know, among the people sent by the Fan family, there are great masters.

Cao Zhengchun was not in the East Factory. How could those factory guards alone be able to deal with the Grand Master?

"Yes, sir."

"It's Cao Shaoqin, the second governor of Dongchang, who has returned from the four northern states."

"Those people in the Fan family were all wiped out by Cao Shaoqin and the factory guards."

The butler recounted the news he had received.

After listening to the steward's words, Prime Minister Yuan Bo's face became a little gloomy.

I originally thought that without Cao Zhengchun, the Fan family would have no big problem handling Fan Yongdou's matter.

Unexpectedly, Cao Shaoqin, the second governor of Dongchang, came back from the four northern states.

Although Prime Minister Yuan Bo has never met Cao Shaoqin, he knows that Cao Shaoqin is also a master at the peak of Grand Master.

Although Cao Shaoqin's strength is not comparable to that of Cao Zhengchun's Half-Step Heavenly Man, judging from the news from the four northern states, Cao Shaoqin is not a simple figure either.

It was not easy for Cao Zhengchun, the chief governor of Dongchang, to leave Luoyang, and now Cao Shaoqin, the second governor, has returned to Luoyang.

This is not good for their plans.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo thought to himself.

However, fortunately, Cao Shaoqin was only at the peak of Grand Master's strength, so his influence on them was not too great.

…

Prince Shu's Mansion.

King Zhou Zhi of Shu also received the news that the Fan family had sneaked into Dongchang to rescue people and the entire army was wiped out.

This made Zhou Zhi frown slightly.

"Cao Shaoqin?"

Zhou Zhi muttered these three words to himself, his eyes a little deep.

Zhou Zhi also knew something about Cao Shaoqin, the second governor of Dongchang.

It can be said that Cao Shaoqin was the biggest facilitator of Fang Xuanling's raids on officials and the extermination of wealthy families in the four northern states.

It can be seen that this Cao Shaoqin is not an ordinary person.

Zhou Zhi did not expect that Cao Shaoqin would return to Luoyang at this time, which was not good news for their plan.

"Sande, do you think that if I succeed, can people like Cao Zhengchun and Cao Shaoqin be used by me?"

Zhou Zhi asked suddenly.

San De shook his head; "Your Majesty, I don't know."

No one knows the details of Cao Zhengchun and others.

Therefore, no one can answer this question.

"Why."

"My royal brother doesn't know where he found these people."

"Everyone is a rare talent."

Zhou Zhi sighed quietly.

After returning to Luoyang, Zhou Zhi got to know these people comprehensively.

I have to say, whether it is Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, or Lu Bu and Cao Shaoqin.

They are all rare talents.

Zhou Zhi kept thinking that if he succeeded and these people could be used by him, then he would be able to sit back and relax.

…

Northern Xinjiang.

Zhenbei Houfu.

Xue Shaowen, the Marquis of Zhenbei, sat on the main seat.

Sitting below were more than a dozen generals of the Zhenbei Army wearing armor.

Xue Shaowen raised his eyes and glanced at the more than ten generals below, and said, "You should all know by now that the imperial court only gave our Zhenbei Army half of the military pay this time."

"Moreover, three generals have been transferred to serve in our Zhenbei Army."

"What do you think about this matter?"

Xue Shaowen had already guessed that the imperial court would not be able to keep suppressing the military pay for the Zhenbei Army, but he did not expect that the imperial court would only send them half of the military pay for the Zhenbei Army.

This is nothing.

What Xue Shaowen didn't expect the most was that the imperial court actually transferred three generals to serve in the Zhenbei Army this time.

How could Xue Shaowen not see the obvious intentions of the imperial court!

After hearing Xue Shaowen's words, the dozen or so generals below pondered for a moment.

One of the generals said, "Master Marquis, everyone understands the purpose of the imperial court in transferring three generals to serve in our Zhenbei Army."

"The Marquis has shied away from the two previous orders from the imperial court."

"If the Marquis refuses again this time, he will completely anger the court."

The general said with a cautious expression.

"Master Marquis, since the imperial court has sent us military pay."

"If the Marquis is trying to shirk the transfer of a general to a new post, then the gain outweighs the loss."

"Besides, this Zhenbei Army is our territory."

"Even if the imperial court sends three generals, they won't be able to cause any big trouble."

"As long as you keep an eye on it, there won't be any problems."

Another general spoke.

The other generals also nodded.

Naturally, they all understood the imperial court's intention of transferring generals to serve in the Zhenbei Army, but they had already shied away from the imperial court's orders twice before.

If he shirks this time, it may really anger the court completely.

When the time comes, the imperial court will desperately deal with them, and they will be in trouble.

What's more, this time the imperial court asked the three generals to send military pay. If they accepted the military pay and drove them back, it would be unjustifiable.

After listening to the words of several generals, Xue Shaowen nodded; "You are right, I think so too."

"You should keep a close eye on these three generals transferred by the imperial court."

"We can't let them cause any trouble, and we can't let anything happen to them."

Xue Shaowen looked at the dozen generals below and said.

Xue Shaowen knew that these generals were right.

He had already shied away from the imperial court's orders twice before. This time, if he shied away from the appointment of three generals appointed by the imperial court to join the Zhenbei Army, he would completely break up with the imperial court.

This is not a good thing for their Zhenbei Army.

It would be better to accept these three generals.

Anyway, this Zhenbei Army is their territory. As long as they keep a close eye on it, the three generals transferred by the imperial court can make big waves.

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Dozens of generals stood up and responded in unison.

"Go for it!"

"The three generals transferred by the imperial court were placed outside by me."

"You take them directly to the military camp and entertain them well."

Xue Shaowen waved his hand.

More than a dozen generals then left the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

…

Xiliang.

The Marquis Mansion of Xiliang.

The Marquis of Xiliang also received military pay from the court and orders from the two generals to be transferred to serve in the Xiliang Army.

However, compared to the Marquis of Zhenbei, the Marquis of Xiliang did not convene the generals for discussion, but directly asked a general to take the two generals transferred from the imperial court to the military camp.

In the view of the Marquis of Xiliang, this method of the imperial court was simply childish.

Do you think that by transferring two generals to the Xiliang Army, you can divide the military power of the Xiliang Army and infiltrate the Xiliang Army?

If it was really that simple and easy, then the Xiliang Army would no longer be the Xiliang Army of his Marquis of Xiliang.
