The Crazy Horse charged so fiercely that it arrived in the blink of an eye. Ordinary people would not be able to avoid it. If they were hit by it, they would be seriously injured, even if they were hit by it.

But Chen Youniao was not an ordinary person. He stepped sideways, raised his hand and slapped Crazy Horse's neck impartially.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound, extremely clear.

Crazy Horse let out a scream, its legs became weak, and it stumbled to its knees under the influence of the huge inertia. Then it rolled over, stirring up a lot of dust.

There were pedestrians on the street, and they reacted and exclaimed.

Chen Youniao subdued Crazy Horse with one move. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the crowd appearing on the street.

Cao Peng, who was surrounded by the crowd, had a sinister look on his face and stared at him provocatively.

Chen Youniao asked calmly: "Is it fun for the son of a county governor to ride a horse in the street?"

Cao Peng waved his hand: "I misunderstood. I don't know why. When this horse saw you, it suddenly went crazy and ran away. It didn't hurt you. But don't worry, if it does, I, Mr. Cao, will definitely compensate for the medical expenses."

.”

Chen Youniao clapped his hands and said, "I'm fine, but this good horse from outside the Great Wall received a slap from me. I'm afraid it hurt its internal organs and will no longer be Master Cao's mount in the future."

Horses are valuable, good horses are even more expensive, and training is difficult.

The corners of Cao Peng's eyes twitched: "Guanzhu Chen is not only profound in moral practice, but also has amazing martial arts. No wonder he can take over Yunshan. It's just that your current performance is really doubtful."

"What do you suspect?"

"Think carefully and take advantage of the situation, otherwise how could you be the master of this temple?"

Cao Peng said every word.

Chen Youniao smiled: "It seems that you recognize me."

"good!"

Cao Peng said loudly: "Don't talk about my master, even Taoist Master Yunya and their life and death experiences are inseparable from you."

Yunya became a demon and massacred his fellow Taoists. It was very bad and had a huge impact on the image of the Taoist court. Therefore, Master Tongxuan ordered a seal to prevent the news from leaking and only blamed the evil spirits. The Master has gone to Longhu Mountain to plead guilty.

Outsiders, including Governor Cao, don't know much about these inside stories.

The Taoist court and the official talisman are two different systems.

Chen Youniao didn't bother to explain to Cao Peng: "It doesn't matter. What you say doesn't count."

Cao Peng gritted his teeth: "There is really nothing I can do about Chen Wan hiding in Yunshan Mountain, but you will always go down the mountain and enter the city."

"Thank you for reminding."

Chen Youniao waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Sir, this guy is really arrogant. Do you want to send someone from a lowly position to kill him secretly?"

A guard behind Cao Peng said in a low voice: "I know a lot of people who are used to killing people and stealing goods. I am very skilled at it."

Cao Peng said angrily: "Do you think those people can deal with Chen Youniao?"

"It's easy to hide with an open spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. It can be assassinated and poisoned."

The guard offered advice.

Cao Peng was a little tempted, but after pondering for a moment, he still denied it: "No, Chen Youniao is now the master of Yiguan, and his status is different from before. If something goes wrong, the Taoist court will definitely investigate it to the end. Besides, this guy's current Taoist behavior

My martial arts seems to be stronger, how can an ordinary person be able to do it? If I fail, I am captured and interrogated, I will be implicated."

The guard quickly flattered him and said, "Young Master has thought it over carefully, but isn't it too cheap to let him go so easily?"

"Let him go?"

Cao Peng sneered: "I told you, he can't hide in the mountain forever. Sooner or later, he will go down the mountain to do business. Let's go back home."

Inside Cao's mansion, the lights were brightly lit.

In the study, Cao Peng stood in front of Cao Yuanqi in an orderly manner.

Magistrate Cao was wearing casual clothes and took a leisurely sip of tea, then asked: "Running horses on the streets will have a bad impact."

Cao Peng replied: "Father, I just want to test it out."

"Stupid, what can this test? Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Those little tricks can be used against ordinary people, but this time, they were used in the wrong place."

Cao Peng said reluctantly: "He, Chen Youniao, doesn't have three heads and six arms."

Cao Yuanqi sighed: "It's really unexpected that this child came out of nowhere."

Cao Peng asked: "According to the information found, he is really an abandoned boy who was kicked out of the Laoshan Taoist Temple. He just got lucky and passed the examination and obtained the Taoist certificate."

Cao Yuanqi said openly: "It's bullshit to get a Taoist degree; it's bullshit to be favored by Meng Beiliu and recommended as a scholar? Also, what about being the master of Yunshan Temple this time?"

After a pause, he said earnestly: "When a person gets lucky one after another, it means something is wrong. Luck often has to be accompanied by matching strength. Besides, you have also tested out that he is indeed very skilled."

Cao Peng said depressedly: "Did he get an adventure?"

"Current indications indicate that this is the most likely possibility, and that this adventure occurred on the way back to Haidai County from Laoshan."

"What a piece of shit luck."

Cao Peng was annoyed, wondering why he hadn't met him: "Father, what should we do? I really can't swallow this breath."

Cao Yuanqi snorted coldly: "If you don't want to marry the Chen family's daughter, then don't marry her. It's just a concubine. You don't lack women."

"It's not a woman's problem, this matter is about the face of our Cao family. Now it has been spread outside that the Chen family is building momentum for Chen Youniao. They want to overpower us and seize the status of the first family in Haidai County."

"How can the family's strength and emphasis on heritage and inheritance be comparable to that of ordinary upstarts? Besides, the situation in Yunshan Temple is not good. Whether Chen Youniao can secure his position is still unknown."

Cao Peng said: "No matter what, we must not let him grow up. Doesn't he still want to take the imperial examination? It's just a matter of making a fuss about this."

Cao Yuanqi said coldly: "The imperial examination is a major matter of the country, how can you interfere casually? You don't need to say more, my father has his own ideas. Also, please calm down during this period, don't cause trouble everywhere, let alone go to Chen Youniao.

So as not to attract suspicion. Although I am the county guard, I cannot cover the sky with one hand."

In the dynasty system, there are thirty-six counties in the world. The county guards are in charge of government affairs and people's livelihood; the governors are responsible for the soldiers; plus the Daoting Governor's Office, it is a three-legged tripartite.

Among them, the governors are generally local people, while the governors are all transferred from outside, and they have a garrison term. When the term is enough, they will change the defense; as for the Daoting Governor's Mansion, it is aloof from outside and is mainly responsible for the special circumstances of the place.

, as well as sacrificial rituals, etc.

After hearing his father's words, Cao Peng understood and agreed, "Okay."

Cao Yuanqi stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed: "Peng'er, you have been smart since you were a child, but it's a pity that you can't read. In fact, joining the army is not bad. In times like this, military service is the best, but I can't bear to leave you for fear of what will happen."

Danger, I only have you as my only son. So I don’t know if it’s good or bad to keep you by my side. The dandy has no worries about food and clothing, but it’s not a long-term solution after all. If there is a chance, I will let you hold some positions, and I recommend it.

You go up."

Cao Peng bowed and said: "Thank you father for your cultivation. Now that Master Mingxin dies unexpectedly, what about the enshrinement position in our family?"

Cao Yuanqi shook his head: "This matter cannot be rushed. There is a great evil in the county, and many Taoist priests have been killed. How can we find suitable candidates at a time? As for those elderly people, it is useless to invite them. It is just a waste of money."

Cao Peng muttered: "What kind of evil spirit is this?"

"I don't know. The real person said that they were eliminated, but how exactly is unknown. The Daoting Governor's Mansion always likes to play tricks and talk nonsense. Hmph, the wise sage advocates the revival of humanity, and the Shinto will decline sooner or later. Go down. Anyway, please stay calm during this period, and don’t leave the city casually."

"yes."

Cao Peng withdrew.

Cao Yuanqi sat on the chair, his eyes flickering: "The Chen family's child has entered the divine way, and he also wants to enter the human way. Is there such a good thing in the world that has the best of both worlds?"
