Chapter 168

When Cui You came back, he found that Princess Yongning and the others had arrived.

Just when he wanted to pay a visit, he was called to Cao Da's residence.

When he arrived at Cao Da's residence, he found that Xie Longhe was also there.

"Uncle Cao, thank you, senior brother."

"I heard that Senior Brother and the others went after the Poison King. You should have been there at the time. What happened?" Cao Da asked.

As soon as he came back, he received news that the whereabouts of the Poison King had been discovered, and that Xie Yinghu and the others had all gone out.

He did not dare to neglect the Poison King.

Although Xie Yinghu's skill is the highest among his brothers, facing the old guy like Poison King is still dangerous.

Not to mention that the Poison King's skill is not weak in the first place, and coupled with his difficult and strange poison, it is even more difficult to deal with.

Even if Senior Brother Qiu and the others join forces, the possibility of taking down the Poison King is still slim.

In Cao Da's view, the main purpose of Senior Brother Xie and the others in pursuing the Poison King was to drive him away so that he could not poison Mingzhou City.

Although the Poison King once poisoned and killed martial arts people in the arena, he still showed restraint towards the Five Gods Sect.

I think back then, when some of my seniors from the Five Gods Sect were poisoned, it was because I was not careful and it was not because the Poison King was deliberately targeting them.

Cao Da knew very well what the Poison King was thinking, but he was still wary of it.

After all, he really wanted to attack the Five Gods Sect. When the Five Gods Sect was furious, no matter how strong he was or how powerful he used poison, he would never be able to escape the pursuit of the masters of the Five Gods Sect.

So if Senior Brother Xie and the others take action this time, the Poison King will most likely retreat.

In this way, no matter what the Poison King originally wanted to do in Mingzhou City, it would be considered a failure.

But he still wanted to know what happened at that time.

To be honest, even he has never seen the Poison King with his own eyes.

Cui You did not hesitate and described the situation in Ling Mansion in detail.

"It seems that this Poison King has nothing to do with the Ling family." Xie Longhe said after listening.

When they learned that the Poison King was in the Ling family, their first reaction was whether the Ling family members might be colluding with the Poison King.

Now Cui You's words have dispelled their doubts.

Cao Da was not thinking about this. Judging from the way the Poison King did not attack Cui You, his previous inference must be correct.

The Poison King is still afraid of his Five Gods Sect. This time, thanks to Senior Brother and the others, they should be able to drive them out of Mingzhou City.

Moreover, as long as people from his Five Gods Sect are here, he should not resort to poisoning and killing people on a large scale, otherwise this would also be a provocation to his Five Gods Sect.

I believe Min Gu would not be so unwise.

"Uncle Cao, are my father and the others in danger?" Xie Longhe asked again.

"Long He, don't think too much." Cao Da smiled slightly and said, "I believe Senior Brother Xie and the others will be back soon."

"Uncle Cao." At this time, Lin Mingchen and Yin Yaoqin came in from the door.

Seeing Yin Yaoqin, Xie Longhe's face lit up, but his heart immediately thumped.

He remembered the warning his father gave him last night.

How should I get along with Yaoqin next?

"You are back, what will the government say?" Cao Da asked.

"The government hasn't given a clear reply yet. They said they would give a reply to the Ling family in a few days." Lin Mingchen replied.

Hearing this, Cao Da frowned slightly: "It seems that this government is not reliable either."

"Uncle Cao, do you think the government will favor the Dou family?" Yin Yaoqin asked.

"It can't be said that it is biased towards the Dou family." Cao Da shook his head and said, "The Dou family are all local wealthy families. Even with this evidence, if they want to confiscate their homes, there will be great resistance from the government.

.”

"With so much evidence, it's not enough even if my brothers and sisters testify." Cui You asked.

"The affairs in the government are too complicated and cannot be explained clearly in just a few words." Cao Da said, "Speaking of which, the Dou family's background is actually deeper than that of the Ling family. After all, the Ling family has just been in the family for a few years.

I'm afraid they are not as good as the Dou family whether they have local connections or connections with the government. Those people will definitely stand up and cheer for the Dou family. I think in the end, they will probably fine the Dou family a few taels of silver.

, this matter just passed away in a blur."

"How can this be done?" Xie Longhe said, "We must not let it go like this."

He and others had promised Ling Dai'er that as long as they testified, it would be enough to destroy the Dou family.

But if they were just fined a few silver coins, they wouldn't be able to convince themselves.

"Longhe, we can wipe out the Pili faction, because it's just a Jianghu matter, but the Dou family is not a Jianghu force. This involves the imperial government. We, the Five Gods Sect, generally don't want to get involved, lest the imperial court be wary of it." Cao Da

said.

If the Ling family hadn't saved many of their disciples this time, going to the government to testify would probably not have been allowed.

"We can't interfere, but what about the princess?" Cui You asked with a thought in his heart.

"What princess?" Lin Mingchen asked inexplicably.

Yin Yaoqin's face was also full of doubts.

The two of them still don't know about Princess Yongning.

Cao Da then briefly introduced Xia Xinyue.

After hearing this, Lin Mingchen's eyes lit up and he said: "That's great. As long as the princess comes forward, the government won't dare to push back and forth, right?"

"But the princess didn't want to expose her whereabouts when she came out this time." Yin Yaoqin said.

These words made Lin Mingchen's face froze. This was true. In this case, it would be impossible to get the princess to come forward.

"It would be a good idea for the princess to come forward," Cao Da said.

"Uncle Cao, you?" Cui You was stunned.

Although he raised the issue of the princess himself, after speaking out, he also realized that the princess escaped from Luoyang privately this time, and it was not like anyone knew his whereabouts.

Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic for the princess to come forward.

"You don't have to be surprised." Cao Da said, "Sooner or later the princess's whereabouts will be known to the court. We can't really hide her whereabouts all the time, right?"

Cui You thinks about it too.

If it were an individual, it would be reasonable to help the princess hide for a while.

But now that the princess is here, it means that the Five Gods Sect knows about it.

How could the Five Gods Sect do such a thing?

If the princess leaves the palace privately, she will naturally be sent back.

Even if it is not sent directly to Luoyang, the local officials must be notified.

"Actually, the princess came back with us this time. She must have understood in her heart that there is no way we would not notify the government." Cao Da said.

"But this matter actually has nothing to do with the princess. Will she help?" Lin Mingchen asked.

"Then it depends on Cui You. After all, he saved the princess once." Cao Da looked at Cui Youdao.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Cui You certainly couldn't refuse.

"Yes, I will go to the princess later and mention this matter to her," Cui You said.

"Don't force it." Cao Da warned.

"Disciple understands."

"Uncle Master!"

"Uncle!"

There were shouts from many disciples outside.

Cao Da stood up and looked outside: "Senior brother and the others are back."

Cui You was a little curious, wondering whether Senior Qiu and the others had caught up with the Poison King.
