I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

Seeing that the head of the Wu clan didn't speak, Cao Xiong handed over the Qinghong sword.

"Patriarch Wu, how about using this Qinghong Sword as a mortgage?"

The head of the Wu family thought for a moment. "This Qinghong Sword is priceless, Fifth Young Master really wants to use this as a mortgage!"

"It's true"

Cao Xiong's tone was very relaxed.

The head of the Wu family took over the Qinghong sword. He had only heard the name of this sword, and had never seen the real body of the sword!

Holding it in my hand, I couldn't help but pull out the sword and play with it carefully...

"A good sword, as expected of the Qinghong Sword..."

The voice just fell.

Only a "click!" sound was heard.

what's the situation?

The head of the Wu family was astonished!

The two eyes were wide open, looking at the Qinghong Sword in front of him in disbelief...

Because this sword, which is said to cut iron like mud... was actually in front of him——

--broken.

Seriously... broke in the middle...

This?

The head of the Wu family looked at Cao Xiong.

I saw Cao Xiong say "Oh!"

"Patriarch Wu, you have caused a catastrophe!"

"what?"

"The Qinghong sword that father bestowed on the fifth son was broken by you, isn't this a catastrophe?"

"what……"

"Patriarch Wu, I just mortgaged the Qinghong Sword to you. You also said that this sword is priceless. Let's see how you can compensate Prime Minister Cao!"

"This……"

Cao Xiong didn't wait for the head of the Wu family to explain, the words in his mouth were like a cannonball, one sentence after another.

"Oh, oh...this is terrible, why don't you ask patriarch Wu to go to Yecheng and explain to father."

The head of the Wu family was taken aback!

Explanation?

how to explain?

Just say, I swung the sword lightly, and the sword broke?

and many more?

How could the Qinghong sword cut through iron like mud?

The head of the Wu family seems to have reacted.

"Fifth Young Master, your sword...is a fake..."

"Hmph" Cao Xiong snorted coldly.

"Patriarch Wu, you say that what is fake is fake? In this way... I will not make it difficult for you. You go to Yecheng and let Prime Minister Cao and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty judge whether the Qinghong Sword is true or not?"

This…

Go to Yecheng and let Cao Cao judge the truth.

That's your own father... He must be in cahoots with you, not to mention that he still misses the old man's food and grass!

False still has to be true...

The head of the Wu family looked at Cao Xiong, and suddenly realized that the five young masters were using the way of the other, and they were still doing it to him...

Isn't this insidious routine exactly the same as her own?

High!It's really high!

Today, this is the patriarch of the Pengci world...

Chapter 286 Compensation

The head of the Wu family suddenly stood up straight.

"Fifth son, you are more sinister than the old man... the old man is willing to bow down!"

Cao Xiong smiled slightly. "Patriarch Wu, if you praise me so much, I won't give you a discount... You still have to pay for breaking the Qinghong sword!"

"How much do you pay?"

"One hundred thousand stones of food and grass! Clan chief Wu sent it to the post for me, or did I send someone to pick it up?"

The head of the Wu family let out a "hum".

With a cold smile, he pointed around and said in a deep voice:

"In this Wu Manor, if the Fifth Young Master likes something, just move it out!

On the shady old man, I lost to you, so I am willing to bow down!

But you want the old man to pay for the food!I still have one word 'poor'.Even the Wu family couldn't afford a bucket of grain and grass! "

Cao Xiong shook his head.

"Patriarch Wu, are you really not giving food?"

The head of the Wu family pointed to his dilapidated and eerie courtyard:

"It's not that I don't give it, I don't have it at all! No matter how much Wu's things can be moved, how much food can be exchanged for? That's the ability of the fifth son. At worst, move the entire Wu's house, and those few chamber pots are worth half a fight food!"

As soon as those chamber pots were mentioned, Cao Xiong felt a pungent stench coming over him.

"Patriarch Wu, I don't make things difficult for you! How about this, I expropriate your Wu mansion for half a year, use the food earned from this mansion to help you compensate for the loss of the Qinghong sword, how about returning it to you intact after half a year?"

Seeing that the head of the Wu family is not loose at all.

Cao Xiong proposed a compromise.

"As you wish!"

The head of the Wu family snorted coldly, "Let me tell you first, for the past six months, the old man will not go anywhere, just stay in this mansion! Fifth Young Master can't drive me out!"

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person!"

snort!You are not that kind of person!

You look like a human being!

The head of the Wu family scolded Cao Xiong a hundred times in his heart!

Fortunately, in exchange for the promise of the fifth son Cao Xiong, the head of the Wu family seemed to be relieved.

He was really worried that if Cao Xiong changed hands and sold his Wu mansion, since he let himself stay in the mansion, Cao Xiong would not be able to play any tricks.

Suddenly, the head of the Wu family seemed to have thought of something.

"Fifth son, you have to make a written statement with me, Qinghong Sword's compensation has nothing to do with the old man.

This Wu Mansion, after half a year, you have to return it to me intact.

Also, you have to pay back the eight thousand stones of grain and grass you owe me! "

The head of the Wu family is still thinking about the grain and grass in my son's hands...

Cao Xiong thought to himself.

"How can it take half a year, hey, three days will force you to hand over the food."

If you agree now, you must write a letter.

It's just that in this room, firstly, there is no table, secondly, there is no stool, and thirdly, the pen is still broken, so where to put it?Where is the pen?

Unexpectedly, the head of the Wu family dipped his hands in ink, lying on the ground in a daze, and wrote a letter!

The fifth son and the head of the Wu family signed and pledged!

The first round of the contest ended with the fifth son Cao Xiong's small victory!

"I'm going back first, Patriarch Wu has a good rest."

After signing the painting, Cao Xiong made a gesture to leave.

Before leaving, he whispered in the ear of the head of the Wu family:

"Why do you need to act so far?"

The head of the Wu family quietly replied: "For forcing the old man to this point, why bother the fifth son!"

The two smiled at each other and said nothing.

Cao Xiong meant to ask him.

——For such a small amount of food and grass, you are a big family member, why waste your brains and suffer this crime, it won’t happen!

The meaning of the head of the Wu family is even more clear.

——The old man just doesn’t pay the food and grass!You are more sinister than this old man, so this old man will pretend to be poor. In short, in short, I will not give your fifth son, Cao Xiong, a single bit of food and grass!

"See you tomorrow!"

Cao Xiong waved his hand, and led Xu Chu out of the gate of Wu Mansion.

The smell in the main hall is really not very pleasant.

Watching the fifth son Cao Xiong trot away, the head of the Wu clan let out a "hum" and muttered to himself:

"I can't beat you... This old man pretends to be poor... You still have the ability to bite me to death?"

Chapter 287 The Ghost Mansion

After walking out of Wu's mansion, Cao Xiong only felt that the air around him was fresh.

Lingju dodged from one side and walked to Cao Xiong's side.

No words, just nodded heavily.

Cao Xiong smiled slightly, turned to look at the hanging plaque.

Second (Wu) Mansion!

There was a trace of brilliance in his eyes!

Lingju entered the Wu mansion together with Cao Xiong, but as soon as she entered, she sneaked into the back kitchen of Wu's mansion while no one was looking.

Sure enough, it did not meet Cao Xiong's expectations.

There are a lot of fish in the swill in the backyard of Wu's mansion.

There are big fish and big meat mixed in the swill, which shows that even though the head of the Wu family is pretending to be poor, he has no intention of treating his mouth badly.

Cao Xiong made a note of this.

That night, the group of three returned to the mansion.

It happened that I met Zhang Liao, who was directing the officers and soldiers to rectify the food and grass.

Because Cao Xiong received 65 shi of food and grass from the four clans, the entire post house was emptied by Zhang Liao and filled with food.
