Chen Hai discussed matters with Wu Meng, Ge Tong, Ding Shuang and others in the study. After a while, Zhou Jingyuan led Cao Feng and his son Cao Gui in.

Cao Feng looked old and haggard, had no foundation in cultivation, but was skilled in martial arts. He was an active ranger in Yanbei area in his early years and had also joined the clan as a diner.

In the years when Prince Ying Dan was in charge of national affairs, many clans and clans were suppressed. The clan family that Cao Feng and his son surrendered was also deprived of their titles for crimes and were disbanded after the fief. The monkeys fell and the monkeys scattered, and Cao Feng returned to his hometown to take root. He was also considered a tyrant in the county. In the year of the Great Wilderness, he became the leader of the refugee who fled to other places in nearby prefectures and counties to make a living.

Cao Feng had two sons, the eldest son Cao Shan was about 30 years old. In his early years, he lived with Cao Feng as a clan. After practicing for several years, he had a foundation in the middle stage of Tongxuan Realm. He was supplemented by family martial arts. He was considered a rare "master" among the 70,000 to 80,000 refugees. Unfortunately, as the clan family he and his father and son defected to disbanded, he lost the channels for continued cultivation. It was difficult to improve his cultivation. At this time, he was the most trusted assistant around Cao Feng.

Cao Feng's youngest son Cao Gui was only fourteen or fifteen years old. He also practiced martial arts since childhood, but he had no chance to get involved in the unique skills of mysterious skills, so he naturally had no chance to truly step into the threshold of martial arts practice.

Cao Feng not only came, but also brought his youngest son Cao Gui to Taohuawu. Chen Hai knew what his posture was, so he asked the people below to arrange a seat for Cao Feng and said, "I haven't invited Cao Gong to come here for a while. I heard that Cao Gong not only built a village in the north, but also had a very prosperous life, and he also married a new concubine. His life was more comfortable than us. However, this time, he invited Cao Gong Gong to come here, but he was not a congratulations to Cao Gong Gong. A sudden change in Qintongguan and accidentally fell into the hands of the rioters. I believe that Cao Gong Gong should have known the news. I don't know if there is anything else in the Cao Gong Gong's family, and I can tell me what to do..."

Chen Hai asked casually, but it was a completely different feeling when it fell into Cao Feng's ears.

His eldest son Cao Shan had a foundation in the middle stage of Tongxuan Realm and was proficient in martial arts. He was one of the "masters" among the 70,000 to 80,000 refugees. However, Cao Feng knew in his heart that the elite soldiers of Hexi Road stationed in Meiwu Fort or the elite soldiers stationed in Taohuawu in Zhaoyangting Hou Mansion could beat him and his father and son all over the ground, even if he picked one out of ordinary generals and soldiers.

Cao Feng never dared to have any strange thoughts about Meiwu Fort and Taohuawu. Moreover, in the past year, Meiwu Fort and Taohuawu have not driven them away, but have also purchased a large amount of stone and wood, transported a large amount of money and grain, helped them build riverside embankments and cultivated farms. Only then did they survive the spring famine and take root on the southern bank of Qiuye River. Cao Feng was still grateful.

But no matter what, the soldiers of the Hexi Road yamen and the soldiers of the Zhaoyangting Hou Mansion were always guest soldiers. Maybe they would pat their butts and transfer them back to Hexi, more than ten thousand miles away. Naturally, Cao Feng would not have the intention of relying on Meiwu Fort in his heart.

At this time, the refugee rebels attacked Qintong Pass. Chen Hai, who had not had direct contact for a long time, suddenly sent someone to come over and invite him to speak to Taohuawu. Cao Feng was not worried about it, but he dared not not to go.

In order to show his sincerity, he even cruelly brought his young son Cao Gui with him this time.

Chen Hai just arrived in Yanjing and took root in Taohuawu. He was not a big shot. At least there were no such figures as Dong Pan, Wu Xiong, and Du Junfeng, which made people dare not look at him directly.

After supplying stone and wood to Meiwu Fort and Taohuawu on a large scale, Cao Feng once focused on respecting Dong Pan and Wu Xiong. Even though it was impossible to directly join, Cao Feng still hoped that during the time when the elite Hexi stationed in Meiwu Fort, he could get the care of Dong Pan and Wu Xiong.

It is not surprising that Cao Feng has such a choice. He always has to find a thick hug to hold his thighs. No matter how he looks, Chen Hai doesn't look like he can compete with Dong Pan, Wu Xiong, Du Junfeng and others.

Cao Feng once thought that the soldiers of the Zhaoyangting Marquis' Mansion did not drive them away, and even helped them cultivate land in the northern part of the world, so he did not dare to provoke them as a guest army. Later, he respected Dong Pan, Wu Xiong, and Du Junfeng, and formed the relationship between these three people, and even thought that he had gained a foothold in the northern part of the Taohuawu, at least he didn't have to look at the face of Taohuawu.

But after Chen Hai killed three sect clans and was safe and sound, Cao Feng realized that he had misunderstood. At this time, he wanted to re-manage his relationship with Taohuawu, but he realized that he was separated by a layer.

Not to mention that we never had the chance to see Chen Hai again, even Ge Tong, Wu Meng and others could no longer meet. Since Cao Feng and others began to supply iron materials to the casting yard, Cao Feng could still occasionally see Zhou Jingyuan, but Zhou Jingyuan's attitude became much colder.

Cao Feng was uneasy for three or four months, and was worried that one day he would be retaliated against Taohuawu. He knew in his heart that Chen Hai was really going to turn against others and sent someone to assassinate them, so he didn't have to worry about anything at all.

Although they are refugee leaders, how could their lives be more important and noble than those prides of the clan who were killed by Chen Hai in public?

Zhou Jingyuan sent someone to invite him at this time, and some people were worried that he would be detained in Taohuawu as a hostage, but Cao Feng dared not to come. Even if he was detained in Taohuawu as a hostage, it would be better than angering Chen Hai, the god of killing and causing Caojiazhai to be bloody cleaning at this sensitive moment?

******************************

Chen Hai asked casually, but Cao Feng felt like a huge rock crushing towards him. He didn't dare to sit upright after the table. He pulled his young son Cao Gui to kneel in front of Chen Hai and said, "The Red Eyebrow Cult once sent someone to contact Caojiazhai, but I was confused. I never told the Duwei truthfully and asked the Duwei to punish him."

Chen Hai looked at Cao Feng and his son who were kneeling on the ground and asked calmly: "The staff of Zhaoyangting Hou Mansion live here. I am just working in the Xiyuan Army and cannot interfere in local affairs. There is no need for Cao Dangjia to tell me these things, but the Red Eyebrow Sect secretly encourages the people to be in chaos. Why didn't Cao Dangjia report to the local government?"

Cao Feng felt a chill from his butt to the top of his head. Chen Hai's tone was calm, but he felt the indifferent tone hidden murderous aura and cried:

"The country has been suffering from disasters for several years. Russia has been everywhere, and white bones are connected to the sky. We are struggling with 70,000 or 80,000 disabled people, struggling to survive on the Qiuye River. Local prefectures and counties ignore them, and more than 3,000 people starved to death last year. If the Duwei had not been kind to help, I would not know how many people would starve to death. I dare not be dissatisfied with the court, but if I report this matter, I think that the local prefectures and counties will not only deal with it, but will only cause us to be suspicious. So I got lost and concealed the matter. But please believe that Cao Feng had absolutely no intention of having an affair with the evil people of the Red Eyebrow, and he knew that these mobs would be difficult to make trouble. It takes less than a few days. Once the court sends troops to clear it up, they will be dead."

"Cao family, get up," Chen Hai said, "The court will send troops to clear the enemy, but it may not be able to wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop. I am not worried about what you think in the Cao family, but I am afraid that if the court fails to send troops, you will have some thoughts in your heart. I have to talk to you in advance, so that you will not be able to go on a miserable road and be unable to stop the flood."

Cao Feng couldn't understand Chen Hai's words, but one thing was clear. He knelt down and did not dare to get up. He just kept assured: "Cao Feng would never dare to have any ideas. The boy Cao Gui was young, but he still had some winks and his hands and feet were quite quick. Please ask the Duwei to allow him to stay by his side to serve him."

Send your son as a charity?

Seeing Cao Feng so scared, Wu Meng, Ge Tong and others who were accompanying him all smiled slightly; Ding Shuang was flirting at Chen Hai at this time, wishing to communicate through spiritual thoughts, and directly told Chen Hai that this was a good opportunity to join the Cao father and son and should not be missed.

Over the past year, after the expansion of Taohuawu and Meiwu Fort and the expansion of the casting yard, they have purchased stone, wood and iron from these refugees. This has also led to the refugees headed by the Cao family and son. In the past year, in addition to reclaiming tens of thousands of acres of beach land, they have also occupied a mountain in the north, and have also opened two quarries, a mine and two logging yards.

There are 70,000 or 80,000 refugees in the northern section of Taohuawu. It seems that there are not many elites who can choose, but if you really want to join Taohuawu sincerely and use it for Taohuawu, Taohuawu can truly build a strong foundation on the south bank of Qiuye River.

Although the Cao family and his son were a little merciless, they once thought about hugging Dong Pan, Wu Xiong and others, this was normal and nothing big mistake. Moreover, Taohuawu has sponsored the cultivation and construction of the embankment this year, and both sides have established a certain foundation of trust, and it is easy to collect and collect.

The more critical reason is that when they first arrived in Yanjing, they would definitely take their own life to take the blame. But Ding Shuang had reason and believed that the mysterious man behind the scenes would never mind Chen Hai establishing his own power in Jingjin. Chen Hai established his power at this time, which was actually serving the Seventh Capital New Army of the West Garden, and ultimately the mysterious man behind the scenes.

Seeing Ding Shuang wink frequently, Chen Hai also understood his thoughts. He pondered for a while and said to Cao Feng: "Cao Gui is of good qualifications. If he was a slave to me and I, he would be buried. Maybe he could be practiced martial arts with me, Senior Brother Ge for the time being. What does Cao Dang's family think?"

Although Ge Tong joined the Zhaoyangting Hou Mansion as a general, Chen Hai always treated him as a "senior brother".

"Thank you, Lord Duwei, Lord Duwei, Lord Duwei!" Cao Feng knelt down and thanked him, and quickly pulled his youngest son Cao Gui to kowtow to Ge Tong.

Cao Feng had no intention of joining the guest army at first, but this year he saw that Zhaoyangting Hou Mansion operated a casting yard in Yanjing. The military armor shop was quite large. He knew that even if more than a thousand elite soldiers of the road were withdrawn from Hexi, the Zhaoyangting Hou Mansion would not give up the operation of the casting yard and military armor shop.
