Who Is The Protagonist’s Best Friend? I Want To Be A Villain

"As long as His Highness the King of Wei can let me go back, I will immediately offer you one million taels of silver.

Xia Bai said immediately.

"Bring me the riding crop." Cao Xu ordered the palace steward.

Soon, the butler brought the whip over.

After Cao Xu waved, he showed a sneer, and then whipped Xia Bai's fat face, instantly ripping open the flesh.

"Old boy, you are still not honest. After I let you go back, can you send me the silver? Do you think I am a fool?"

After finishing speaking, Xu was annoyed and whipped Xia Bai again.

The beating made him scream repeatedly, and he hated Cao Xu to death.

But no matter how much I hate Cao Xu in my heart, I don’t dare to show it on the surface.

"Also, with one million taels of silver, are you sending a beggar away? Or do you think your life is worth one million taels of silver?"

"Exchange one million taels of silver for one million taels of gold. When the gold is delivered, I will let you go back."

Cao Xu threw the bloody whip on the ground.

Hearing one million taels of gold, Xia Bai's heart bleeds. Even if he is a prince, giving out one million taels of gold will cost his life.

It's true that his family is rich, but the cost of supporting the army under his command is already large enough.

"you are not willing?"

Sensing Xia Bai's changing expression, Cao Xu narrowed his eyes: "It's okay if you don't want to. I always respect other people's choices. If I just kill you, it's a hundred and ten thousand."

"I can ask someone to send 500,000 taels of gold first, and after His Highness King Wei lets me go back, the 500,000 taels of gold will be sent to me.

For his own life, Xia Bai was willing to give up one million taels of gold.

But he doesn't trust Cao Xu.

What if Cao Xu took the money and refused to let him go, but instead killed him?

Anyway, Cao Xu's reputation is already bad, so he is not afraid that doing so will affect his reputation.

"You don't believe in my character."

"Trample on my character, drag him out and beat him to death."

Cao Xu said lightly.

As long as you know his character yourself, you will never allow others to slander him.

After Cao Xu gave the order, Xia Bai was dragged out directly, and then he was beaten violently.

The beating made Xia Bai scream and beg for mercy.

"One million taels of gold, I can have it delivered directly." Xia Bai shouted loudly.

"Stop it."

Cao Xu made people stop.

"I only give you seven days. If you don't see the one million taels of gold within seven days, you know the consequences."

"Let him write a blood letter and send it back, and then imprison him in the sky prison."

Cao Xu ordered.

"Lord, do you really want to let him go?" Xun Yu asked with a frown.

"Of course it's impossible. When he delivers the one million taels of gold, that's when he dies. I'm short of money now, but he's still valuable."

There are really many soldiers and horses under his command now, and it is not easy to feed so many soldiers and horses.

"That's good."

Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Cao Xu said that he would not let Xia Bai go.

Xia Bai cannot be let go. If Xia Bai is put back, wouldn't it tell others that they can survive even if they rebel, and who will be afraid of Cao Xu in the future?

If the goal of establishing prestige cannot be achieved, chaos will follow.

"But if my lord does this, it will affect his reputation." Xun Yu reminded.

Although he knew that Cao Xu was short of money and all the palace's money was turned into food and military pay, doing so was still not good for Cao Xu.

"It's okay, I don't care about reputation.

No matter how good his reputation is, people who should be enemies of Cao Xu will still be enemies of Cao Xu.

Only a few days after Xia Bai became a prisoner, Han Xin also made meritorious service.

When the Southern King Xia Ying led his army to cross the river, Han Xin sent people to attack him halfway across the river. He also sent people to sneak across at another crossing and attacked Zhiying's camp.

Then the army took advantage of Xia Ying's army to be in chaos, crossed the river, covered up the enemy, and defeated Xia Ying's army in one fell swoop.

Among them, the Southern King Xia Ying was captured alive by Han Xin and his army.

Xia Ying, the king of the south, and Xia Bai, the king of the mausoleum, also became prisoners.

However, King Xia Ying of the South is different from King Ling. His bones are not so soft and are much harder.

After being caught, he did not beg for mercy, but instead cursed Cao Xu.

"Cao Xu, you thief, if I fall into your hands today, just kill me."

Xia Ying stared at Cao Xu, his eyes full of hatred.

"If you dare to insult my lord, you are seeking death."

Dian Wei was furious and kicked Xia Ying to the ground.

"Thief Cao, you are a thief who steals big things, do you think I will be afraid of you if I fall into your hands? I can't wait to drink your blood and eat your flesh.

"I lost today, but there are thousands of people in Daqian. Sooner or later, someone will eradicate this traitor like you."

Xia Ying, who was kicked and vomiting blood, still cursed at Cao Xuran.

"It seems that he really doesn't want to live anymore."

Originally, Cao Xu wanted to make a fortune from Xia Ying, but this guy looked down upon death and cursed him after seeing him.

"Lord, I lost his head."

Dian Wei was very angry.

Cao Xu showed no anger on the surface, but only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.

"Hold it down and ask for help tomorrow."

"By the way, let's ask Xia Zhan together with Xia Bai."

Xia Bai's people are very efficient. One million taels of gold have been delivered quickly, so he is naturally worthless.

"Besides, he lost all his teeth."

Before leaving, Cao Xu reminded Dian Wei.

"clear."

Dian Wei showed a ferocious smile and dared to insult his lord. He couldn't bear to hear it for a long time.

"let me."

Xu Chu took the lead, grabbed Xia Ying's neck and lifted it up, then punched down with a fist as big as a casserole, smashing Ying Manchu's teeth with one punch.

Then Xia Ying, whose mouth was full of blood, was dragged down.

Cao Xu didn't care about what happened next. He followed Lu Qingli back to her parents' home.

Seeing Cao Xu, Lu Yizhou had a complicated face.

He didn't expect that Cao Xu could become a being who could cover the sky with one hand.

But fortunately, after Cao Xu's reminder, he did not accompany Zhenwu Si to participate in this chaos, otherwise, grass would have grown on his grave.

"My father-in-law seems a little reserved when facing my son-in-law."

Cao Xu said with ridicule in his tone.

"Can you not be restrained? After all, His Highness King Wei has the final say in the imperial city now."

Lu Yizhou smiled bitterly. Fortunately, he was not a loyal and patriotic person. Otherwise, he would not be able to bear facing Cao Xu.

"You must have something to do when you come to the Lu Mansion, right?" Lu Yizhou asked.

Seeing that Cao Xu didn't put on airs, a lot of the restraint in his heart disappeared.

After all, he is also Cao Xu's father-in-law, so being cautious in front of Cao Xu is nothing.

"There is indeed something wrong. I want to ask the old man to come out."

Cao Xu stated his purpose.

He does have people under his command, but not many are trustworthy.

A strong man like Lu Dingshan, who is at the peak of Great Grandmaster, cannot stay at home, he must use his remaining energy.

Besides, I am his grandson-in-law, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't come to help me.

0.......Please give me flowers 00

"You can ask me to come out, but the old man will forget it."

Lu Yizhou shook his head. His father's injury has not recovered yet, so he should rest at home.

"Please come out and forget it."

Cao Xu glanced at Lu Zhou, then shook his head.

I'm afraid that Lu Qingli's strength will be able to catch up with Lu Yizhou's before long.

"You... I am your father-in-law after all. Do you despise your father-in-law like this? I'll tell Qingli if you believe it or not."

Lu Yizhou was a little unhappy that Cao Xu still looked down on him.

Although he is not a top expert, he is still among the experts.

"You can tell Qingli that I despise you. What do you think of Qingli's attitude?"

Cao Xu had a faint smile on his face.

In an instant, Lu Yizhou was speechless. Before Lu Qingli got married, she started to turn her elbows outward, and now she would stand on Cao Xu's side.

"I know what my father-in-law is worried about. Of course I won't let him go out injured."

"Oh, can you cure the old man's injury?"

Lu Yizhou's eyes lit up.

"Are you really already a land god?" Lu Yizhou asked in disbelief.

0

It's no wonder that many people don't believe in Cao Xu's strength. Even Lu Yizhou in the capital has doubts.

After all, most of the witnesses to the fight between Cao Xu and Xia Xinghe died.

"Don't your father-in-law believe it?" Cao Xu asked.

Lu Yizhou nodded honestly, he really didn't believe it.

"Since you don't believe it, no matter how much I tell you, you won't believe it." Cao Xu did not explain, but said: "The doctor Li, who is known as the sage of medicine, is still in the capital. Maybe he can cure the old man's injury. .

"I have thought about this, but it is not easy to ask the medical saint to take action.

The medical sage has a big arrogance. If it weren't for Emperor Qian, he wouldn't be able to invite him here.

"If he doesn't take action, I will kill him. How dare he not take action?" Cao Xu said domineeringly.

"I have already sent someone to invite him. If he doesn't come, he will not give me face, and there is no need for Medicine King Valley to exist.

Cao Xu is so domineering in everything he does.

It's okay to give him face, but if you don't give Cao Xu face, then you have to see how much life you have.

"Your Majesty, Divine Doctor Li is here."

Lu Bing reported to Cao Xuhui.

"Let's go see this miracle doctor Li."

Cao Xu raised the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard Lu Bing's report.

Lu Yizhou was shocked for a moment, but then he was no longer surprised. Who dares not to give Cao Xu face now?

Although what Cao Xu said was arrogant, it was true.

Soon, Cao Xu saw Doctor Ji.

His appearance is a bit unremarkable, and his hairline is a bit high, but Cao Xu doesn't care what he looks like, as long as he has good medical skills.

"I have met His Highness King Wei."

When facing Cao Xu, Doctor Li, who was unwilling to bend, still bowed and bowed.

Lu Bing had already threatened him when he invited him.

He himself can be aloof and arrogant, and he can put on airs, but there is Medicine King Valley behind him, and he is not the only one in Medicine King Valley.

When faced with the invitation sent by Emperor Qian, he had no choice but to compromise and come to the capital for diagnosis and treatment.

Cao Xu's power is no less than that of the previous Emperor Qian.

"Go and treat the old man. Don't let me down. If I am disappointed, the consequences will be serious."

Cao Xu reminded Divine Doctor Li.

This sentence was a reminder, but also a threat. Doctor Li knew very well. .
