Chapter 368 The Zheng Family's Background

"Ugh... cough cough cough, gulp!"

"You bastard!"

In the early morning, Li Hanyan slapped Cao Xiaochun's chest fiercely, and seemed a little angry. Her eyes were wide open and she cursed.

Do you think I'm easy to bully? I'll try to hold you down!

Seeing this, Cao Xiaochun ignored the beauty's struggle and forcibly hugged her and comforted her.

"Master, didn't you say that you felt sorry for me and wanted to comfort me? Why are you angry now?"

"Say it again!"

Li Hanyan seemed a little furious and raised her hand to beat him up, but was quickly stopped. Seeing that there was no other way, the beauty exhaled heavily and said softly.

"Starting tomorrow, you will go to the cliff in the back mountain and retreat there. You are not allowed to come out until your inner essence is restored."

After that, Li Hanyan closed her eyes and panted lightly.

Last night, when she heard that Cao Xiaochun had lost all his true energy, she was very anxious. Fortunately, this was only temporary. However, when she heard that Cao Xiaochun relied on his physical strength to cross the entire Osakura and return to Kyushu, she felt a little distressed.

If it weren't for Kyushu, maybe he wouldn't have done it like this.

So the scene in the morning appeared.

Looking at the well-behaved Li Hanyan, Cao Xiaochun was very touched. Touching the hair of the beauty, his whole body and mind were extremely relaxed. This feeling had never been felt in Osakura.

"By the way, how is the Zheng family now? Is the evidence I provided enough to bring them down?"

Relying on the convenience of the Uesugi family, Cao Xiaochun collected a lot of evidence, each of which was enough to exterminate the Zheng family. Colluding with foreign races is something that is intolerable to heaven no matter which country it is.

Hearing this, Li Hanyan's expression was a little strange. He opened his eyes again and said softly.

"The Empress already knows everything you gave her, and she has found many things by following the clues."

"But, now, we can't touch the Zheng family."

Speaking of this, Li Hanyan sighed and continued.

At that time, when the Empress learned the news, she was extremely angry and immediately gathered experts to arrest all the people of the Zheng family, but at this time, she found that the eight major families in the imperial capital had a deep foundation in Jiuzhou over the years.

Jiuzhou itself is vast and rich in resources, and it is also the birthplace of alchemists. Therefore, the power of the Zheng family is stronger than that of the Uesugi family. Although the cultivation of the head of the family is much worse than that of Uesugi Yongfeng, none of the old monsters behind him are easy to mess with.

More importantly, this family has been the top family in Jiuzhou since the founding of the country. After so many years of hard work, the clan members have spread all over Jiuzhou. In various industries, there are traces of them in the court, military, and civilian life.

The empress could certainly take force and destroy the Zheng family with absolute force, but the price would be that the entire Jiuzhou would be shaken, and the prosperity of so many years would be broken, and they would not be able to make any progress for decades.

So after a series of discussions, the empress decided to take back power first and then take action.

But these actions were noticed. Although other families did not know about the Zheng family's behavior, the empress's actions of changing seven city lords in a row still caused panic among other families. Therefore, there was a lot of resistance recently.

The eight major families did not want their minions to be cut off, so the counterattack was extremely fierce.

And the empress could not explain the Zheng family's crimes to them. After all, no one knew whether there were undercover agents from other countries in other families.

So everything was in a stalemate. Emperor Hanxi had not attended court for a week. If it were not for the matter of Jingyue Forest that eased his mood, it is estimated that there would be no court meeting this month.

"If you want to overthrow the Zheng family, you must minimize their threat to civilians. You also know how much Jiuzhou values ​​ordinary people."

"So, if you want revenge, I'm afraid you have to wait."

Li Hanyan comforted softly. She also knew the hatred between Cao Xiaochun and the Zheng family, but these things really couldn't be rushed.

"Silly woman, I'm not such an ignorant person. In my eyes, the Zheng family is just a stumbling block. Sooner or later, I will get rid of it. I understand the principle of quick success and instant benefits."

Indeed, if the Zheng family is forcibly eliminated, it is very likely to cause instability in the national system, and Cao Xiaochun will not force anything.

Even if this didn't happen, I would settle accounts with them when I came back. At that time, the Zheng family used their power to suppress others, which had already touched my bottom line!

It's better to have foreign aid. If there is no foreign aid, this revenge is nothing more than revenge by myself!

Without thinking too much, Cao Xiaochun continued to tease Li Hanyan.

"Yan'er, you said I'll be in seclusion tomorrow. We've finally reunited, so why don't we go out today?"

Lifting a strand of hair, Cao Xiaochun slowly approached, his thoughts were self-evident.

Cao Xiaochun's words made Li Hanyan blush with shame. She felt that she would be defeated by this enemy in this life.

"Bang!"

"Aunt, I received a message saying that the bastard... is back?"

Just as Cao Xiaochun was about to lift the thin blanket, the door of the room was quickly pushed open. Li Hanyi shouted excitedly, but the scene in front of her made her a little stunned.

"Bang!"

"I'll come back later!"

Without hesitation, Li Hanyi quickly turned around and closed the door, her movements were done in one go...

The two people in the room were also stunned in place, but Li Hanyan reacted first, stood up suddenly, picked up the pillow beside her and smashed it at him!

"It's all your fault, bastard!"

The image that she had worked hard to maintain was almost shattered before Cao Xiaochun came back. This time, it was completely over...

When they walked out of the pavilion, the atmosphere was obviously awkward. Li Hanyi and Shui Yunji sat in the pavilion, with their arms folded across their chests, looking arrogant, while Li Hanyan lowered her head, her ears red, like a child who had done something wrong, without a trace of the majesty of a sword emperor.

Cao Xiaochun touched his nose and smiled, not at all embarrassed, sitting obediently opposite the three women, as if ready to be judged.

"Brother Xiaochun, you said that as soon as you came back, you bullied Sister Hanyan. Do you think we have forgiven you just like that?"

Shui Yunji raised her eyebrows. It was okay to bully Li Hanyan, anyway, she and her little niece bullied her from time to time, but the matter of Celes had to be discussed. If he didn't restrain himself, he didn't know how many women this bastard would bring home in the future!

"That's right, he bullied my aunt as soon as he came back!"

Li Hanyi was poked by Shui Yunji and hurriedly responded.

In this situation, we must be united against the outside world! (●'◡'●)

"I just miss you too much, don't I?"

Cao Xiaochun touched his nose and said lightly, but there was no sign of admitting his mistake on his face.

"Look, you are making up stories again. If we believed them, we would probably cry our hearts out."

Shui Yunji snorted and said lightly.

"That's right, the three of us were disliked by our brother after all. We are not as pretty as Sister Ceres."

Li Hanyi leaned on Li Hanyan's shoulder and pouted, and said in agreement.

"Who said it wasn't? Looking at him like this, it's us who are not. My heart is colder than the ice chips in the coldest days of winter."

Li Hanyan also understood the intentions of the two women and continued to speak, with an expression like a frozen kitten.
