The lights inside the narrow and cramped blue brick house swayed.

Qianhu Cao Xuan sat south in front of a dilapidated square table, holding a tea cup made from a bamboo tube.

That teacup is obviously a shoddy product, with even residual burrs on it, and the tea is brewed with mugwort leaves.

Cao Xuan's expression was very relaxed, as if holding the highest quality fragrant tea in his hand.

As he sipped his tea, he spoke, "Cao really needs to thank you for the incident of the Blood Wind Thief hijacking the library today. If the situation continues to be deadlocked, both the Zhengyang Martial Arts School and our Jinyiwei will lose face

The words of Lord Qianhu are heavy

Chu Xisheng smiled lightly and said, "The mere Blood Wind Thief is nothing but a disease of scabies for Lord Qianhu. It can be suppressed with just a palm strike. Besides, there is someone else who actually killed the sorcerer. The commoners are just fighting and cannot deserve the word 'thank you' from Lord Qianhu

Cao Xuan clearly didn't think much of it. He had already heard Chu Xisheng's rhetoric at noon.

But at that time, his subordinates searched inside and outside the library, but couldn't find the woman surnamed Lu mentioned by Chu Xisheng.

The reason why this person says this is nothing more than two reasons. One is the fear of retaliation from the Blood Wind Thief, and the other is——

Little brother has a lot of resentment, "he smiled and took out a pill bottle, a heavy silver ingot, a shiny vest, and two bronze waist tags from his sleeve, placing them in front of Chu Xisheng.

Cao is not a person who goes back on his word, it's just that the previous occasion was somewhat inappropriate. This is the reward that Cao promised to give to the younger brother. Your hereditary documents, including the lawsuit and official registration, will have to wait for another two days, and someone will deliver them to you at that time

Chu Xisheng's eyebrows lifted and he was slightly moved.

The pill bottle is exactly the same as the one he got before. If nothing happens, there should be five Peiyuan pills inside.

That shiny vest is made of high-quality silk and copper wire woven into a golden inner armor, which is clearly not ordinary.

The key lies in two bronze waistbands.

Chu Xisheng picked up his waistband and carefully examined it.

This thing is slightly heavy when purchased, indicating that it is made of high-quality materials.

Above it is carved a totem of a divine beast, the Bi'an, and below it is the words' Xiu Shui Jin Yi Qian Hu Suo Xiao Qi Guan Chu Xi Sheng '.

The other one is also a waist badge of a small flag official, but its name has been changed to 'Chu Yunyun'.

After seeing it, Chu Xisheng's face turned slightly pale.

He not only did not show any joy, but also looked at Cao Xuan with a hint of caution and said, "Lord Qianhu, what I want is only hereditary small banner officials, not actual ones

Since the founding of Daning, there has been a tradition of conferring hereditary military positions on the children of the powerful and privileged as members of the Jinyiwei.

After 800 years of passing down the country, the hereditary small banner officials of the Jinyiwei have become as numerous as carp crossing the river.

The vast majority of them do not hold positions in the Jinyiwei, but only receive a salary.

Later on, there were too many hereditary Jinyiwei, and the court was unable to afford them, not even providing salaries.

Chu Xisheng wanted this hereditary small banner official to solve the identity issue between him and Chu Yunyun.

As long as they put on this official skin, it will be convenient for them to do anything in the future.

He never intended to become a practical official of the Jinyiwei and be sent by the Jinyiwei.

And as the saying goes, when etiquette is given to people, there must be a demand. This person surnamed Cao clearly follows the rhythm of a yellow weasel greeting a chicken during the New Year.

Cao Xuan didn't look at Chu Xisheng's expression. He calmly blew on the Ai Ye floating in his teacup and said, "The reason why we switched to the actual position of a small flag officer is because Cao has something to ask for Chu's help. Have you ever heard of King Qin Muge and the Anti God Flag

Chu Xisheng was originally determined to refuse whatever the other party asked for.

But when he heard the three words' Qin Muge ', his heart trembled and he looked suspicious, saying,' Who in the world doesn't know the name of King Ba Wu Qin Muge? As for the Anti God Flag, I'm not very familiar with it, but today those Blood Wind Thieves came for it. You Jinyiwei searched the library for a long time, probably for this thing too? '

Cao Xuan chuckled and said, "What I want to ask for is this matter. I hope Chu Xiaoge can help me pay attention to the clues between Qin Muge and the Rebel Flag at the Zhengyang Martial Arts School

Chu Xisheng's mood was inexplicably strange for a moment, it sounded like he wanted to check his own rhythm?

He still showed a look of difficulty on his face, pushing back the token and golden armor in front of him: "Lord Qianhu is too strong for others to do. The commoners cannot betray the martial arts school, and they know how many pounds and taels they have. They dare not get involved in such a storm as the Anti God Flag. Lord Qianhu still invites Gao Ming

It's not about you betraying the Zhengyang Martial Arts School

Cao Xuan put down his teacup and looked fixedly at Chu Xisheng, saying, "Cao can make a spiritual covenant with you and will not let you do anything that endangers the martial arts school and the formless god sect. What Cao wants is only a clue to the anti god flag.

The anti god flag is the most precious treasure of our human race, with the divine power to change destiny and resist the gods. Once this thing falls into the hands of traitors, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Chu Xiaoge stepped forward today and risked his life to kill the sorcerer of the Blood Wind Thief. He must be a chivalrous person. Do you want to sit idly by and let this thing be taken by such an evil path as the Blood Wind Thief

Cao Xuan said, "Before I came here, I actually checked the origin of Brother Chu. To tell the truth, neither of you can rely on your registered residence. You moved from Mount Taishan County, Dongzhou, and you are talking about Beijing accent."

Chu Xisheng remained calm and composed.

This Cao Qianhu is nothing but playing the game of coercion and temptation, using both soft and hard tactics.

In his heart, he is actually willing to investigate himself. This matter is easy to handle, and he can still get two salaries from the Jinyiwei for free.

Chu Xisheng thought to himself, he couldn't agree so readily, it was better to ask Chu Yunyun's opinion first.

I'm actually curious about the origin of Chu Xiaoge. Is he a runaway slave from a certain official family in the capital? Is he a wanted criminal by the court? Or is he a refugee from that side? But this has nothing to do with Cao. In today's world, there are too many people like you siblings who don't know where they come from or where they go, and no one cares

At this moment, Cao Xuan smiled and picked up the scissors on the table. He slowly trimmed the wick of the oil lamp and said, "However, if your siblings want to further their careers in the Zhengyang Martial Arts School or join the Immortal Divine Sect in the future, this identity will not be trusted by anyone.

Cao can help you, make your identities clear without any flaws, and even have the opportunity to obtain the unique elixirs and martial arts secrets of my Jinyiwei. But everything comes at a cost, what do you think, Xiao Chu

Chu Xisheng squinted his eyes and watched Cao Xuan's trimming of the wick with a cold expression.

Cao Xuan's expression was unusually focused, as if trimming the plants and trees in his own garden.

His hands are also very steady and meticulous.

Chu Xisheng unconsciously grabbed the waist knife, thinking of Cao Xuan's words' I don't know where to go 'in his mind.

After pondering for a long time, he released his grip on the knife and said, "This matter is of great importance. Please give me some time, Lord Qianhu, to consider it

Cao Xuan frowned, his eyes seeming displeased.

His hand also trembled as he cut off most of the wick.

I made a mistake

Cao Xuan gave a embarrassed smile and put down the scissors, saying, "It's okay. It's only natural for me to have some concerns. Cao will give me five days. If I'm interested, I can buy three tangerine peel buns at the baozi shop in the northeast of the martial arts school.

He patted the golden armor and waistband on the table again and said, "These things stay here. Whether you agree or not, this is the reward that Cao promised you
