Chapter 56 Chao Gai: I wish we could meet soon
He took a quick look around Tokyo City and left again without even having time to look for Li Shishi.

In Cao Jie's eyes, this city is indeed a great city, but also a decadent city.

This city can cultivate versatile calligraphers, painters and emperors, and it can also produce the brilliant Liu Sanbian, and it can also create a brilliant culture that will shine through the ages.

The only thing that cannot be produced is brave warriors!
If such a city does not have warriors who can drive away tigers and devour wolves, and does not have strong bows and crossbows and artillery, it is destined to be lost in the vast river of history.

Counting carefully, there are only twelve years left, and the orcs from the White Mountains and Black Waters are about to move south.

Since they were able to destroy the Liao Kingdom, occupy the Central Plains, and search the mountains and seas to capture Wanyan Jiumei, they must have some extraordinary qualities.

Twelve years is actually just a blink of an eye.

When the Iron Flotsam and the Crooked Horses came roaring over, the Song Dynasty would need to use skulls to block their maces.

Even though he was cowardly when facing the Jin people, he was very tough in suppressing bandits.

Starting a business is difficult, and small-scale operations are not taken seriously now. As long as you become a bandit in Liangshanpo, the imperial court will send a large army to wipe you out.

The first counter-encirclement and suppression campaign: Hu Yanzhuo was defeated.

The second counter-encirclement and suppression campaign: a major defeat at Guan Sheng.

The third counter-encirclement and suppression campaign: Tong Guan was defeated twice.

The fourth counter-encirclement and suppression campaign: Gao Qiu was defeated for the third time.

Cao Jie is not worried if these people come to attack, but if Old Master Zhong and Little Master Zhong of the Western Army lead their troops to attack, or Grandpa Zong Ze leads his troops to attack, or even just Han Powu leads his troops to attack.

How should we deal with it?

But you have to know that in history Fang La was defeated by Han Shizhong!
It is also important to know that a not-so-famous Zhang Shuye in history suppressed Liangshan!

After returning to Yuncheng, Cao Jie first summarized his entrepreneurial work.

After coming to this world for a whole year and having established his current foundation, Cao Jie is actually quite satisfied.

The thirty-six celestial beings, "the wise man" Wu Yong, "the little whirlwind" Chai Jin, "the flowery monk" Lu Zhishen, "the walker" Wu Song, the three Ruan brothers, "the workaholic" Shi Xiu, plus "the Leopard Head" Lin Chong who is already in his pocket.

There are already nine people on hand.

With such strength, Song Jiang is no match for him.

The "Tower-Bearing Heavenly King" Chao Gai was just a brave man who charged into battle and was not taken seriously by Cao Jie.

Even when they were right next to each other, he did not take the initiative to make friends with them.

'The work plan for next year is still to lay the foundation.'

'First, we need to make friends and gather talents; second, we need to innovate technology and improve entrepreneurial tools...'

While she was writing and drawing on the paper, Xiao Jinlian enthusiastically brought her hot tea and occasionally stoked the charcoal fire.

Seeing that Cao Jie was busy with work, she couldn't help but say, "Husband, it's getting late."

"Um?!"

Cao Jie threw away the charcoal pencil in his hand and said with a smile: "I've only been away for a few days, and you can't wait any longer?"

"My husband, I'm just worried that you're tired!"

"I think you are greedy. Where is Yan Poxi?"

"It's already washed clean..."

With Cao Jie's current physical strength and the fact that he has many tricks up his sleeve, Xiao Jinlian is no match for him.

In the early days, I would become a god and climb onto rainbows several times every day.

The fun of it is addictive, but also hard to bear.

Later, Yan Poxi, an artist who was good at playing the zither and flute, came and gave them the strength to fight.

"Go ahead! I'll be there in a minute."

"Yes, sir!"

Xiao Jinlian turned and walked towards the back house. Her heart began to burn. Her body could not help but sway slightly, making her waist look even more like a water snake.

[Experience value of "Cao thief" +3] [Experience value of "Cao thief" +2]

On the brocade silk bed sheet, wet words twisted into:

[Experience: Level 2 (375/400)]

On the third day after returning to Yuncheng, Wu Yong personally came to my house and handed me a business card, saying with a smile: "Brother, two months ago, Chao Gai and Chao Baozheng from Dongxi Village came to see me and said they wanted to meet you.

My brother was in Liao at that time, so I declined the offer."

It was already winter, but Wu Yong still held his goose feather fan, COS Zhuge Kongming, and shook it, saying, "Later, my brother came back and had to rush to Tokyo, so Chao Baozheng missed me again. He has come to see me many times recently, saying that he wants to meet my brother. Do you want to meet him?"

"Chao Gai from Dongxi Village! Why did he come to see me?" Cao Jie asked.

Wu Yong had been a teacher in Dongxi Village for a year after all, and it was difficult for him to refuse this old customer who came to him for help. Moreover, he was working hard for the White Paper Fan of Hongmen and the development of Hongmen. If he could get this Tower-Bearing Heavenly King to join the group, it would be a great help.

But since this person was a security guard and had a wealthy family, he did not dare to speak easily.

Wu Yong revealed all his thoughts and ideas, waiting for Cao Jie's instructions on whether to win him over or not.

Cao Jie pondered for a few seconds and said, "Since the scholar introduced me, let's host a banquet to invite him. Master Lu is also going to Liangshan, so I can also host a farewell party for him."

"Okay, brother, take a good rest. I will make the arrangements."

Who is Chao Gai?
A wealthy family in Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, Jizhou, he served as the village head.

He did not marry. He spent all his time wielding guns and clubs, strengthening his muscles and bones. He loved to make friends with heroes all over the world, and he warmly welcomed anyone who came to him for help.

Outside the east gate of Yuncheng County, there are two villages, Dongxi and Xixi, separated by a large river. Legend has it that Xixi Village is often haunted, so a monk taught the villagers to carve a bluestone pagoda by the river, driving all the ghosts to Dongxi Village.

Upon hearing the news, Chao Gai was furious and waded across the stream alone, snatched the bluestone pagoda and erected it in Dongxi Village.

From then on, the locals called him "Tota-Bearing Heavenly King".

Chao Gai is a man who puts righteousness first.

Looking at the Water Margin as a whole, there is nothing to fault with their character.

But such a person may not be a good leader.

Cao Jie did not regard such a person as an opponent.

Since he is willing to visit me, I will just make him my friend.

In the evening, this person followed Wu Yong into Cao's residence. When he saw Cao Jie, he clasped his fists and said in a deep voice, "Brother Cao, I am Chao Gai. Brother is indeed a young hero with extraordinary bearing. Chao Gai wishes we could meet sooner."

To be honest, he really likes to make friends with heroes in the underworld. This year, Cao Jie has emerged as a rising star in Shandong and has become famous, so he naturally wants to make friends with him.

"Brother Chao, I have been traveling outside for the past six months and just came back recently. I have some free time. I should be the one to go and pay my respects to my brother!"

When you are in society, you need to speak nicely, do things from beginning to end, and be sincere in your life.

Cao Jie took Chao Gai's hand and invited him to sit on the right guest seat. He was tall, about thirty-two or thirty-three years old, with a long black beard covering his mouth. He wore a green gauze scarf on his head, which covered a red dot in the middle. He wore a white cloth shirt, a silk sling tied around his waist, and blue and white linen shoes with multiple ears.

Judging from the feel of the handshake just now, his skin is as hard as steel and his flesh is as hard as copper. He must have achieved great success.

As for nourishing Qi, judging from his title of "Tower-Bearing Heavenly King" and the fact that he became the eldest of the Three Ruan Clan and Liu Tang in the original novel, he is definitely a master in nourishing Qi.

But judging from Yunshen's way of thinking, it was obviously not the case.

If he had any brains, he would not have robbed the birthday gift at his doorstep and failed to sell the stolen goods properly. He was caught one by one and forced to go to Liangshan, where he was gradually sidelined by Song Jiang and eventually died from a poisoned arrow.

Died in a confused state!
Those who live in the underworld don't care about their brains. They will be thugs all their lives, and the foundation they build will only be a wedding dress for others.

Wu Yong accompanied him and chatted with Chao Gai casually. Seeing that it was getting late, Cao Jie stood up and said, "Brother Chao, you and the scholar have some tea first. I have another brother to invite. This brother is also a brave man. I will introduce him to him later."

Chao Gai stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "Brother, go and do your work. I will stay here and have tea with the scholar!"

After watching Cao Jie leave, Chao Gai smiled at Wu Yong and said, "Brother Cao has a wide range of friends. I heard that Wu Dutou is also the brother of Brother Cao."

Wu Yong smiled and said, "Bao Zheng, let alone Wu Erlang, even Mr. Chai from Cangzhou, the instructor of the 800,000 imperial guards, is my brother's brother."

Chao Gai's eyes lit up: "How enviable!"
