Chapter 48: A Belated Confrontation (2)
"Xiaobai! Xiaobai ......"
Lu Ying was looking around in the farm, and the naughty white dove was missing again.
"Yingying, what's wrong? Lost something?" Xu Chen, who happened to go out, saw Lu Ying scurrying around, so he asked curiously.
Who knew that as soon as he heard this familiar question and answer, Lu Ying shouted angrily: "It's said that Xiaobai is not a thing!"
Looking at Lu Ying, who was suddenly angry, Xu Chen stood in place and was stunned, but he was at a loss for a while.
Lu Ying, who was just looking for the white pigeon, suddenly heard such a sentence beside her, and she was upset and replied subconsciously. By the time she realized how familiar the voice was, it was too late......
"Tatsu ...... Brother Chen, Yingying...... Didn't get mad at you...... I...... I didn't mean to......" The more Lu Ying spoke, the more chaotic she became, and gradually she had to lower her head, twist her fingers, and stare at her shoes, looking like she was bowing her head and admitting her mistake.
Looking at Lu Ying's well-behaved appearance, Xu Chen smiled, squatted down, rubbed Lu Ying's forehead, and asked softly, "What's wrong?
Lu Ying nodded obediently and said, "Xiaobai is gone!"
"Xiaobai, is it Yingying's pet?" asked Xu Chen.
"Well, Xiaobai is actually a pigeon, a carrier pigeon raised by Brother Chen......" Lu Ying peeked at Xu Chen cautiously, as if she was afraid that Xu Chen would be angry if she found out.
Xu Chen said with a smile: "It's okay, as long as Yingying likes it, even if you take it to play well, Brother Chen will not lack this one." ”
"But ......" Although I was afraid that after I said it, Brother Chen would ask Xiaobai to go back, but if she wanted her to lie in front of Brother Chen, Lu Ying would never be able to do it.
"But Xiaobai is very smart!"
Xu Chen couldn't accurately understand the specific meaning of the word "smart" in Lu Ying's sentence, and he couldn't imagine what kind of "smart" a pigeon could have.
Fortunately, the benevolent heavens did not let Xu Chen's "ignorance" last too long, and only a moment later, a white shadow shot towards them.
Xu Chen didn't have the superb skills of Geng Yanqiu, so he couldn't even see the afterimage clearly, and a white pom-pom suddenly appeared in Lu Ying's arms.
"What is it?" This was Xu Chen's reaction at the first time.
"Ahh
Xu Chen looked at the white dove in Lu Ying's arms with a scrutinizing gaze, a little surprised and a little puzzled: "Yingying, this is ......"
"This is Xiaobai!" Lu Ying smiled proudly, and gently handed the white dove in his arms to Xu Chen.
Xu Chen lowered his head and looked carefully, maybe Xu Chen's eyes were too sharp, the white dove curled up in a ball slowly raised its wings, a small head carefully drilled out, and a pair of small eyes glanced at Xu Chen secretly.
It was this glance that seemed to frighten the little white pigeon, and I saw that the fluffy pigeon trembled slightly, and a little head hurriedly burrowed back under the wings again.
Yes, Xu Chen actually saw the fear in the eyes of this pigeon, which is really incredible!
Xu Chen was also shocked, the first time he saw such a spiritual pigeon, Xu Chen had no ordinary joy except shock, and it was at this moment that the familiar sense of fear permeated Xu Chen's whole body by the way.
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen, what's wrong with you?" Lu Ying thought that Xu Chen was frightened stupid by Xiaobai's appearance, and hurriedly called out.
"Oh! it's okay! it's nothing......" Xu Chen repeated several times, such a repetition was rare in Xu Chen.
"Okay, since the pigeon has been recovered, then Yingying will go play by herself, Brother Chen still has something to do!" Xu Chen stood up with a smile.
"Oh......" Although there was a little disappointment, the sensible Lu Ying still left obediently.
When leaving, Xu Chen turned around, but the corner of his eye once again caught a frightened look. Xu Chen turned his head violently, but just saw Lu Ying's arms, and the pigeon's wings moved again.
Lu Ying left, but Xu Chen stood in place for a long time and did not leave.
"Someone!" Xu Chen called after a long time.
"Big brother!" a young man behind him walked over and replied.
"Go and check what the last time this pigeon came back from his last mission, and what was written in the letter he brought back. ”
"Yes!"
"In addition, let's go and find out where Yingying has been in the past few days, what strangers she has seen, and what she has done, be more detailed!"
"Okay!"
The young man left, Xu Chen raised his eyes to look at the sky, and the cloudless sky actually had a feeling that mountain rain was coming.
It didn't take long for the young man to return.
In Xu Chen's room, the young man who went out to investigate was making a detailed report.
"The pigeon flew back from Yuzhang more than ten days ago, and it was also ten days ago when Yingying was playing in the backyard when she met this pigeon, and saw that this pigeon was very clever, so she asked it to go, and the people at the liaison station saw that this pigeon even lost the letter transmitted last time, and thought that it was only useless, so they gave the pigeon to Yingying......" The young man said 1510.
"What?" Xu Chen suddenly grasped the key, and hurriedly asked, "You said that this pigeon lost the letter transmitted?"
"Yes!" replied the boy in the affirmative.
"From Yuzhang City?" Xu Chen asked again.
"According to the code registered, it does belong to the liaison station on the first line of Yuzhang City. The boy replied.
After learning the news, Xu Chen was silent for a long time......
"Go on, where has Yingying been lately, and what kind of strangers have you seen?" Xu Chen, who had been silent, spoke again.
"In the last ten days, Yingying has been staying in the Zhuangzi to play with the pigeons since she had a white pigeon, and she only went out a few days ago. The boy replied.
"Where did you go?"
"The Autumn Water Pavilion in the city. ”
"Who have you seen?"
"I just went to ask the shopkeeper Geng, saying that there were two people in front of the store that day, a man and a woman, with extraordinary appearances, and there was a dispute with the two Kunlun slaves in front of the store, and then the shopkeeper Geng came forward to resolve it. ”
"What is the origin of these two people?" Xu Chen, who felt that the key was about to appear, became unprecedentedly nervous.
"I don't know......," the boy said dejectedly.
"I don't know?" Xu Chen frowned slightly, and his voice raised.
"Well......" The young man was forced to be a little nervous by the big brother's sharp eyes, and nodded with difficulty and said: "Shopkeeper Geng has not been able to find out the origin of these two people, but these two people have been asking Yingying and Shopkeeper Geng about Yuzhang City, but they are all asking about well-known customs and customs......"
"Hehe......" Xu Chen's expression stiffened for a long time, and then he moved the corners of his mouth bitterly, and said with a difficult smile: "Everyone knows everything?
"Big brother, you mean...... Did they ask this on purpose?" the young man began to react slowly.
After asking this, he could be sure that Yingying and the others had been to Yuzhang City...... He just needs to be sure of this!" The smile on Xu Chen's face was still bitter.
"This ......" the young man listened, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
"Go ahead...... Call them all...... Everyone!" Xu Chen shook his head weakly.
"Yes!"
The young man was gone, and it wasn't long before the room was full.
In addition to Wang Ce, who was far away in Chang'an, and Zheng Tai, who had already gone to sea to Nanyang again, the teenagers who stayed in Shengzhou, led by Lu Hao and Zhou Kang, all arrived, and even Shi Lei, who was still young, was no exception. Chai Lao and Chai Qi were naturally not absent.
"Big brother, what's wrong?" Lu Hao looked at Xu Chen's gloomy and terrifying face, and already felt that something had happened.
"They're coming!" Xu Chen didn't say much.
Everyone present naturally knew who Xu Chen was talking about.
"When?" Although shocked, Lu Hao was the first to calm down and asked.
"A few days ago, in Qiushui Pavilion, I had already seen Yingying and Yanqiu!" Xu Chen replied.
"What? The relationship between Yingying and ...... was chaotic, Lu Hao was obviously nervous, and Chai Lao behind Xu Chen was no exception.
"Ying Ying is fine, they just inquired about something and confirmed our deposit!" Xu Chen continued.
"Two people are here?" Zhou Kang asked.
"A man and a woman!" Xu Chen replied.
The conversation could not proceed at this point, and due to the lack of information, the people present could not find the next question point, let alone come up with a solution.
"What to do?" was the question that everyone present wanted to ask, but everyone knew in their hearts that no one could give this answer.
Except for one person!
So, as they had done countless times, they focused their eyes on Xu Chen. If there is anyone present who still has the possibility of coming up with a solution, only their eldest brother is left!
The leader is the person who must stand up at the critical moment, and you may not know what to do, but you must stand up! Whether the path chosen is correct or not, the key is that you have to point out a direction! So that everyone can go on, maybe there is a way to walk!
"It's no longer useful to run away......!
Xu Chen spoke, and according to the only information, he chose a direction!
"Fourth, you go to Yangzhou and bring Xie An with you, he is from Yangzhou and is familiar with it. Xu Chen said.
"What are you going to do?" Zhou Kang asked.
"Find someone!" Xu Chen said.
"Who?" Zhou Kang asked.
"Huaqing!" Xu Chen said a person's name.
When Wang Ce went to Yangzhou last time, he had mentioned Huaqing many times, and Xu Chen also had a strong interest in this person he had never met.
"He?" Zhou Kang also knew about Hua Qing's person from the information sent by Wang Ce, but the intensity of attention was obviously not as great as Xu Chen's, so he was a little puzzled, why did the eldest brother think of letting him run all the way to find such a person at such a critical moment?
"Is there anything special about this person?" Zhou Kang believes in the judgment of the eldest brother, then this person should have his uniqueness.
"This person is very smart!" Xu Chen said, but the doubts on Zhou Kang's face did not decrease in the slightest, until Xu Chen added: "As smart as me!"
A very arrogant remark, but it made Zhou Kang suspicious.
"What kind of goal do you want to achieve?" Zhou Kang asked again.
"It's very simple, let him lead the rebels to Shengzhou City!" Xu Chen said.
Lu Hao, who had not spoken all this time, spoke after hearing it: "At this time, even if the rebellion spreads to Shengzhou City, it is useless, right?"
Xu Chen glanced at him coldly, yes, his eyes were very cold!
"Put away your poor mercy! Whether we can live this time depends on God's will!"
Looking at the unhappiness on Lu Hao's face, Xu Chen still said coldly: "You have a fluke in your heart, I can understand this, because you don't know how strong they are, and you think it's just a group of opponents who can be defeated by relying on a large number of people......"
"Wake up! These people are not human beings at all! In the eyes of us mortals, they can be counted as immortals who have attained enlightenment!"
"Then we are going to kill immortals?" Lu Hao laughed with obvious disbelief.
"Yes, we just want to kill immortals, and we want to kill these so-called immortals who are high up and want our lives one by one!" Xu Chen's tone was solemn, stained with unprecedented cold.
"Okay, big brother, then I'll leave now!" Seeing that the eldest brother and the second brother were about to quarrel again, Zhou Kang hurriedly spoke up and pulled the eldest brother's attention back.
Xu Chen nodded and said, "Let's go! Now that the road is restless, remember to bring a few turtle boats." ”
"Well, then I'll go!" Zhou Kang left.
"Li Xian!" Xu Chen began to point again.
"The owner!" As the leader of the young men, Li Xian was also fortunate to participate in the discussion.
"Go find some people, masons, carpenters, and so on, as long as you have the ability and craftsmanship! Focus on finding some craftsmen who know how to do the tricks, and then bring them to me, and I will personally tell them what to do!" Xu Chen said.
"Okay!" Li Xian didn't leave, because Xu Chen still had something to say to him.
"In addition, buy all the streets near the Shengzhou City Tribute Courtyard! You do it yourself, remember not to alarm too many people, just go directly to Shengzhou Taishou!" Xu Chen continued.
"What about after you buy it?" Several streets near Gongyuan are the most prosperous places in Shengzhou City, but for the wealthy teenagers, buying it is just a matter of waving their hands.
The key is what Xu Chen will do after he buys it.
Faced with this problem, Xu Chen hesitated for a long time, and finally did not speak, because after opening his mouth to say what he wanted to say, it would make his plan have a loophole, and Xu Chen would never want such an obvious loophole in his plan. Because...... He's going to die!
Therefore, Xu Chen chose to be silent and didn't say anything: "That's it......"
Lu Hao on the side was the only one who could keep up with the big brother's thinking, and Xu Chen's seemingly unconnected order still allowed Lu Hao to grasp a vague outline of the big brother's plan.
So, in the face of the silence of the eldest brother, Lu Hao could only shake his head gloomily.
"Okay, then I'll do it!" After speaking, Li Xian also left.
"Chai Lao!" This time it was Chai Lao's turn.
"Childe, please command!" Chai Lao behind him walked up to Xu Chen, bowed down and said.
"Can you get the hallucinatory medicine that can be effective on the masters of the Grandmaster Realm?" asked Xu Chen.
"There are also ghost markets in Shengzhou, as long as you have the money to get these, it won't be a problem!" Chai Lao replied.
"How much does it cost, you go to the account room to get it yourself! I want the best medicinal effect, both oral and external!" Xu Chen said generously.
"Yes!" Chai Lao nodded back.
"In addition, go find some people who are fast-moving, Zhu Da is alone, and it is not enough......"
