Chapter 353 The Cao Family
The rooms made of tung oil and wood in the mountains are wide and rough. On the regular mahogany chairs, there are various precious animal skins, tigers, bears, wolves, leopards, etc., like resurrected ferocious beasts, exuding an extremely ferocious aura.
In the middle of the sea blue blanket, in a huge brazier, the flames burned, emitting amazing heat, warming the huge room. I don’t know what kind of rare fuel I used, there is no pungent smell, but it emits a faint fragrance of flowers.
A tall and burly old man dressed in coarse linen clothes was spreading his feet, sitting wildly on the tiger-skin chair at the front of the room, fiddling with a long bow with a simple shape and a very domineering appearance.
This big bow is two meters long, with a black arm, with fleshy texture, and the heads of the palm-sized beasts are carved at both ends. If you look closely, you will find that it is a ferocious ape with a big mouth and long fangs exposed.
The bow string is half the size of a little finger, and it is light green all over, exuding a more fierce aura than the animal skins in the house. It is the famous Zhenshan bow of the Cao family.
So far, there are no more than five people who can pull this bow, but who can use it freely and open the bow for a full moon, only the old master Cao and Cao Yan, who founded the foundation of the Cao family.
One of the reasons is that this bow is strange, the bow body is too long, and the arm span of ordinary people is not enough, so it is difficult to use. Old Master Cao is born with ape arms, which is a symbol of people who are good at shooting since ancient times. There is naturally no problem using this bow.
The second reason is that this bow has a very powerful force, and the casual people cannot pull it away, except for Mr. Cao.
Below Cao Yan, there are ten powerful men with big arms, round waists, burly figures, and similar appearances, and they are in line with Cao Yan.
Five of them are obviously older and calm in their aura, and they are all masters of the acquired Great Perfection Realm. Unfortunately, they always lack the qualifications and luck, and cannot break the switch and enter the innate world.
However, relying on the magical skills of the Cao family and the tacit understanding of the five people, they can barely compete with ordinary innate warriors, and are known as the Five Tigers of the Cao family.
In recent days, the Cao family has been forced to participate in the sidelines and fights in the market town and fought several tough battles. The five tigers of the Cao family can be said to have all their power, and they cannot compete for power. Even if there is a natural move, they will not be able to do anything to the five tigers of the Cao family. Although they are far inferior to Cao Yan's achievements, they can barely maintain their family business.
The other five are the third generation outstanding children of the Cao family, and they are also Cao Yan's grandsons. Compared with their parents, although they are a little immature and insufficient in strength, they are even more aggressive and fierce. In Cao Yan's view, they will always surpass their ancestors in the future.
"Dad, Lei Bing is still waiting for our reply in the guest hall. What should you do?"
The elder of the five tigers of the Cao family had a beard, a loud voice, and a few fine lines at the corners of his eyes. Judging from his words, it was completely the only way to Cao Yan's horse leader.
His four younger brothers were like vocal worms, saying that they were yes, and none of them expressed their own opinions.
It is obvious that in the Cao family, Cao Yan has unquestionable influence, and his descendants trust and respect him extremely.
It is no wonder that the Cao family at the foot of Yunwu Mountain was originally a poor mountain hunter in the mountains. If it weren't for the Cao Yan, it wouldn't have been as popular as it is today.
Naturally, the worship of Cao Yan by the children of the Cao family reached an unparalleled level.
In comparison, although the Cao family’s Five Tigers’ martial arts are good, they are just good. The so-called overall view and the so-called strategy are not much. They are relatively pure martial artists and are useless.
Over the years, Cao Yan has gradually focused his energy and focus on the third generation of the Cao family, and at least he should cultivate a talent who can inherit the position of the head of the Cao family and lead the Cao family to continue to grow.
Although Cao Yan is old, he has no old appearance. His thick long hair is only a few white silks, his tiger's eyes are shining brightly, and there is a tiger lying like a lying tiger, majestic and imposing.
He didn't care about his little ones with muscles in his mind, but looked at his five grandchildren.
The third generation of the Cao family is still the best of his direct descendants, and these five are the best, and the one he values the most is his eldest son and grandson, and Cao Zhan, the son of Cao, who has just spoken out.
"Zhan'er, tell me what we should do."
Cao Zhan is a young man in his twenties. He has a strong body and systy muscles. He is also one of the best among all the great men.
Compared with the rough and bold family inheritance, her appearance is more upright and heroic. It can be seen that my mother should be a symbolic beauty, so it harmonizes the appearance of the old Cao family's beast school.
Hearing his grandfather’s inquiry, Cao Zhan did not have any stage fright, and took a step forward as before, and said loudly,
"Return to grandpa, grandson believes that this matter is inappropriate, and the Lei family is not sincere enough, and there is suspicion of being provoked. Just reject Lei Bing."
Lei Bin, a foreign government manager of the Lei family in Beining Hou, was not a child of the Lei family, but was given the surname Lei. He entered the innate world with martial arts. He was one of the leaders of the Lei family's forces at the foot of Yunwu Mountain this time.
This is the representative of the Lei family of Beining Hou Lei, and the sincere Bo Yang family, to put pressure on the Cao family to withdraw from the dispute, that is, not to continue to stand on the other end of Jiuyuan Gate and the Twelve Chain Forts, causing them trouble.
At the same time, he also sent an olive branch to the Cao family, hoping that they could "abandon the dark and turn to the light", and it would be better to stand on their side, with no lack of threats in words.
Of course, in Cao Zhan's view, Lei Bing's sincerity is obviously reduced. This is mainly based on threats and intimidation, but there is less gentle temptation and treating their Cao family as a coward without eggs?
In terms of the situation, it cannot be considered wrong. After all, the Lei family and the Yang family have already gained the upper hand. If the Cao family resisted stubbornly, there will definitely be some damage in the future. However, if you just turn the direction by being scared by others, it would be too vilified.
Judging from Lei Bing's arrogant attitude before, he obviously did not take the Cao family seriously.
It’s not surprising to think about it. How could people from the Marquis’ Mansion start their own family? The Cao family, which still relies on Yunwu Mountain to make a living, have a priority treatment?
It is normal to be so arrogant and rude.
Cao Yan was not disappointed in his speech, but he was not satisfied with his parents' answer. He just sighed,
"You all are good at martial arts and are not good at planning. It's not your fault. Who made our Cao family come from a mountain family, without knowledge or culture? This is the root of me, and it can't be changed.
But you should be able to see that the Lei family is not malicious, and this is the idea of our Cao family."
As for why, Mr. Cao couldn't say it. After all, it was because of his background and could not see the overall situation.
But I just vaguely feel that I have become the target of the Lei family and the Yang family, either surrendering or being suppressed.
And Jiuyuan Gate and Twelve Chambers may not help withstand the pressure.
After all, they are not familiar forces, they are just temporarily sending the group to keep warm.
This is out of his intuition, and he believes in his intuition very much.
Sometimes, the hunter's intuition can save lives.
