It was already dark, and near a hundred Cao clans gathered under the stone archway, holding hoes and shovels and other farm tools. There were also many tourists holding swords and swords standing in front of them. The leader was Lin Yusong, the young leader of Hutou Mountain, who came spontaneously to help the Cao family.

Although more than a hundred male men in the Cao family hold farm tools, their momentum is obviously much stronger than the Jianghu Rangers ahead. The Jianghu family that has been passed down for hundreds of years has been imprinted by the martial artists. Even if they have been selling crabs for ten years, the Cao family is still the Cao family, which is definitely not comparable to ordinary copycat gangs.

The archway was built on a White Stone Avenue leading to the square in front of the island. At the end of the road, more than thirty men in black stood, holding weapons in their hands as if they were as motionless as a mountain. In the night, it was like a deity asking for life impermanence, among which were Zheng Yushan and Changshi Jian.

The people who came over to help the Cao family were mostly warriors who were young and had good relationships nearby. The strongest one was the young master of Hutou Mountain, who was also a wealthy family in Chu. He could not make up for the gap in hard power with all his passion. Now he was a little panicked.

Lin Yusong is the first youngest person in Chu. He is the leader of helping the Cao family to support the venue this time. His face was obviously ugly at this time.

Lin Yusong dared to fight Chen Daozi alone, and was very confident about his strength, but confidence was not just confidence. The world was not a child. Fighting with Chen Daozi was a competition, and at most he would lose face if he lost. Zheng Yushan was not as good as Chen Daozi, but now he was really serious. If he was not careful, he would die on the spot. No matter how confident Lin Yusong was, he was not as confident as he could fight life and death without any damage.

Fortunately, the Eagle Tower did not come directly to destroy the family. At this time, there was no intention of taking action. He just stood a hundred steps away and waited quietly.

The young and strong families in the Cao family have arrived, and the two brothers in charge of the Cao family have not yet appeared. There are also many tourists watching the fun around Caojiazhuang. In order not to cause misunderstandings or be affected by the fish in the pond, they all stood among the forests of the low mountains and forests in the distance.

Xu Buling and Ning Qingye rushed to the vicinity of Caojiazhuang. They passed by a pavilion. Several people from the martial arts and watched the fun stood in the pavilion and were talking in a low voice:

"The Cao family is probably over this time..."

"Many friends in Zheng Yushan died at the hands of the court. Today he took the lead and would definitely not give up..."

"I heard that the Cao family is a hawk in the court, why don't they call the officers and soldiers to come..."

"The boat gang should have been greeted, and the ferry was stopped. The island was only allowed to go out but not enter, and the constable could not come at all. Besides, it would be useless to come to a hundred and ten constables. Zheng Yushan could kill himself alone, so it depends on the Cao family himself..."

...

Xu Buling heard these conversations and looked at Ning Qingye who was rushing to the side:

"Miss Ning, do you know about Song Ying?"

Ning Qingye's face was solemn, and he went to the big archway from the hidden place and said softly:

"I heard that he was Cao Qujian's unfilial son. He was originally the young master of the Cao family, but later he defected to the government. It seems that the senior Cao family was the only one who left the country because of this. I don't know the specifics. However, Senior Cao is definitely not a lackey in the court. He is highly respected in the world. He solves the problems of the world by himself. Even if he has the ability to ask the government for help today, he would not do that."

Xu Buling shook his head slightly when he heard this. The world and the court have always been clearly distinguished. Some people in the world have been arrested and severely tortured. They would rather die than cooperate with the government, and even the opponent's intelligence was not revealed. To put it nicely, this is called the rules and integrity of the world, but the reason for this rule is that most of the forces in the world are unclear, smuggling, committing crimes, collecting protection fees, etc. The little money earned by opening a martial arts hall is not enough.

The means of making a living by the people in the martial arts world is exactly what the court strictly prohibits. Surrendering to the government is to cut off the wealth of the people in the martial arts world. It is normal to be retaliated against and killed the whole family. Over time, this rule has been formed.

Of course, the court is not all the right side. There are many corrupt officials who are plundering people's wealth and misfortunes, and there are more people in the world who care about the world. It is not wrong not to compromise with corrupt officials.

Xu Buling thought for a while and said, "I am also from the court, and I cannot regard all those who cooperate with the court as lackeys."

Ning Qingye shook his head: "The people in the martial arts world have a criminal record and cannot be an official. If they can make a fortune, they are mostly traitors and betray their relatives and friends to make contributions. Moreover, killing their own people is much more vicious than the officials of the court. What's the name of a lackey?"

Xu Buling thought for a while: "If you want to join the court and make a fortune, you don't have to sell your friends, you can sell your looks."

“…”

Ning Qingye obviously had no intention of letting Xu Buling tease at this time, and said seriously: "The people in the Jianghu will inevitably betrayal if they defect to the court. For example, I have killed Langwei. If a friend who knows this matter defects to the court and becomes an official, will he arrest me or not? Arresting me is traitorous. If not arresting me is disloyal to the court, and they are not a human being inside and outside. Therefore, the affairs of the Jianghu people are always solved by themselves. If Senior Cao finds the government as a backer, he will betrayal of his relatives in the Jianghu."

This explanation is very accurate, Xu Buling nodded: "That's how it's not interesting to the world."

Ning Qingye has never talked much and has not studied this issue in detail. He stopped near the archway.

Xu Buling didn't want to show up yet, and stood behind a big tree and watched the development of things.

Hundreds of people stood under the archway, and the quiet needles could be heard, only the occasional crisp sound of torches,

After waiting for about half an hour, the crowd separated a road. Cao Quyi, the second leader of the Cao family, walked out of the village wearing a man's robe, holding a sword box in his hand, and still smiling with a kind smile, walked to the front of the crowd and said to everyone in the Dingyinglou:

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. My brother is not in good health and it is difficult to meet guests. I heard that Master Zheng came to ask for a string of sword spears. My Cao family has retreated from the world and kept the sword to waste natural resources. I handed over this Zhanlu sword from the family to you. I hope Master Zheng can find a good master for him."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene was noisy, and even the people in the Eagle Tower were a little surprised. They whispered to each other, and Chang Shijian's eyes were even more fiery.

Lin Yusong was anxious and turned around and began to stop him: "Senior Cao must not, how can this sword be given to a group of thieves in the world..."

Xu Buling was not surprised to everyone's reaction. Zhan Lu, Chengying, Zhaodan and other famous swords were not many in the world. The swords on his waist were sought by King Su and Princess Su who searched all over the world. Among the four sword scholars, there were only two families of Cao Lu. The swords of the Zhu family were confiscated by the court and hid in the inner treasury of the emperor. The Tang family had been begging for more than a hundred years but had not succeeded, which shows how valuable it was.

When the Eagle Tower came over, he only needed a string of sword spikes. The Cao family handed over all the swords directly. It was obviously too polite. Even Ning Qingye couldn't stand it and said softly:

"This sword has been offered to the Cao Family Ancestral Hall for hundreds of years. All the leaders of the family are reluctant to use it as a weapon. How could they just hand it over?"

Xu Buling picked up his sword and looked at it: "Do you want it?"

Ning Qingye was stunned and frowned and said, "Only by meeting a good master can you not humiliate his reputation. I can't afford it. I dare not take it for me."
