Chapter 255: Undercurrents are surging

Chen Xiangyuan stared at the person from the Shen family, knowing that he was a very stable person, and he would never panic when he encountered something, but he didn't know why, he showed such a panicked expression today.

Chen Xiangyuan put down the wine glass in his hand, and the gangsters who were pushing the cup and changing the lamp next to him also stopped the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and began to face the people of the Shen family. This person from the Shen family is named Shen Jiwen, who is a relative of the eldest lady of the Shen family, and he works for her together with Qian Ziqi and has won her trust. At this time, Chen Xiangyuan didn't ask himself, in fact, he was just thinking about knowing what was going on, if he waited for Chen Xiangyuan to take the initiative to ask, it meant that his patience was enough.

Shen Jiwen spoke slowly to Chen Xiangyuan, and he could hear the panic in his mouth: "I heard that it was Qian Ziqi who pursued Shen Lingqiu, and a person in a wilderness outside Qingzhou City was killed by someone. I just don't know if this matter is related to Shen Lingqiu, or if Qian Ziqi angered people who shouldn't be provoked?"

Chen Xiangyuan lowered his head and thought for a while, before he said slowly: "Aunt Zhi next to Shen Lingqiu is just a martial arts cultivator in the early stage of synaesthesia, and when she encounters the Qianzi stage in the middle stage of synaesthesia, she can't withstand it at all. And I have already said hello to Zhou Youliang, the nephew of Qingzhou City, and it stands to reason that in the territory of Qingzhou City, no one will dare to trouble Qian Ziqi, unless that person dares to be an enemy of the state hall. Now it seems that Qian Ziqi is not in the way of others. ”

At this moment, Chen Xiangyuan frowned, and kept playing with the wine glass in his hand, everyone who knew him knew that this was Chen Xiangyuan's way of thinking about the problem, maybe after leaving this door, someone would die because of Chen Xiangyuan's frowning.

After listening to Chen Xiangyuan's words, Shen Jiwen hurriedly picked it up: "Zhou Youliang also died in that place! There is also the arresting governor Xun Chen, more than a dozen light cavalry, and the coachman who was with the state guard is also dead, that is the martial arts cultivation of the peak of gathering spirits." Later, all the light cavalry in Qingzhou City were dispatched, and the Evergreen Gang and Yonghe Dart Bureau in the city also followed, but no one returned. When the state guard led the people to look for them, they found that they were all dead in the wilderness. So the state guard of Qingzhou City began to close the city gates, not allowed to enter or leave. I heard that I would not dare to come forward until several nearby state guards came to Qingzhou City to discuss the matter. ”

After Chen Xiangyuan listened, he was silent. But after Chen Youde heard it, he couldn't sit still. He had been to Qingzhou City before, and he knew the strength of the light cavalry in Qingzhou City, not to mention the coachman who had the martial arts cultivation of the Gathering Spirit Realm, it was said that he came from the capital with the state guard, and he didn't expect that even he died in that place, it seems that things are very tricky. Being able to kill so many people at once, and not leaving a single living mouth, without leaving a single trace, then how terrifying is this kind of martial arts cultivation. Although he spends a lot of money every year to invite these bandits in the martial arts rivers and lakes, Chen Youde knows in his heart that as long as someone offers double the price, these bandits in the martial arts rivers and lakes will not be reliable at all, and they will be faster than anyone else when the time comes. But now that the yin slave at home is seriously injured and has not recovered for a long time, it seems that he will have to keep his head down in the next few days.

Chen Youde glanced around, the bandits of the martial arts rivers and lakes who were still very arrogant before were silent one by one at this moment, and the people who could easily kill the martial arts cultivators at the peak realm of gathering spirits could deal with themselves, wouldn't it be easy? If they forcibly come out at this time, then they may not be able to see the sun tomorrow by then.

Knowing what they were thinking in their hearts, Chen Youde didn't force it: "Brothers, you have all heard Shen Jiwen's words, Zhou City has been a little restless these days, and when we do things, we can't let others see what we do." To deal with the Li family in Ningzhou, it can only be done secretly, and it is categorically impossible to start a conflict head-on. Moreover, we are all grasshoppers on a rope, and if something happens to us, you won't be able to get your bounty. Therefore, I have to bother a few brothers to take care of it more these days, if there are strangers wandering here, you have to help my Chen family solve it, and when this limelight is over, I will ask you to be happy when the time comes. ”

Although the bandits of the martial arts rivers and lakes all work with their heads, it does not mean that they do not spare their lives. There is something in Old Man Chen's words, in fact, everyone here listens to it, that is, no matter what, the safety of the Chen Mansion must be guaranteed. It's just that the situation is not clear at this time, and if you directly reject Old Man Chen, you will inevitably lose some ugly face. Therefore, the leading elder brother in these martial arts rivers and lakes said: "Old man Chen, our brothers are used to staying in the deep mountains and old forests, and they occupy the mountains as the king in the three areas, and the surrounding state cities do not want to see us. Receiving your kind invitation, it is natural to rush here to protect the integrity of your Chen family. It's just that now you have heard it, the other party is a martial arts cultivator who can kill the Gathering Spirit Realm, if it is according to the previous reward, our brothers will inevitably have some resentment......" The leader deliberately paused, wanting to see what Old Man Chen meant.

Chen Youde took a sip of wine and said very indifferently: "Sun Dadao, it doesn't hurt if you say it's okay, brothers can't see each other." ”

The man, known as Sun Dadao, said: "Our brother doesn't want much, it's limited to three months. If the Chen family in Ningzhou is not damaged, then Tongxi Gambling House will belong to us. We are very lonely in the mountains and forests, if we can have a place in Ningzhou City, then we are really grateful to Mr. Chen, and we are willing to serve the dogs and horses. ”

Hearing the Tongxi Gambling House, Chen Youde grinned a little distressed, the largest gambling house in Ningzhou City is Li Xiuyan's Dacheng Gambling House, and now he has it in his pocket. The second place is Tongxi Gambling House, which previously supported half of the Chen family in Ningzhou, if it was ordinary, such an unreasonable request, Chen Youde would definitely refuse directly. It's just that in this form now, you can only promise these martial arts bandits first, and then bargain when things are clear. After all, although a gambling house is a bit important, but compared to his own net worth and life, it is really not possible to send these martial arts bandits to the dungeon of the state hall when the time is complete, and you can earn a few rewards.

After figuring things out, Chen Youde didn't hesitate, raised his wine glass and gave a wine salute to several bandits in the martial arts rivers and lakes: "According to what Sun said, if you can ensure that I am well in March, the Tongxi Dart Bureau will naturally offer it with both hands, and all of you here are people with heads and faces in Ningzhou City, and they can all be a witness together, and I, Chen, will definitely not break my promise." ”

After Sun Dadao heard this, he hurriedly picked up his wine glass and saluted Chen Youde: "Since Old Man Chen has said so, then we will definitely do our best to protect the integrity of the Chen family in Ningzhou." ”

At this time, Chen Xiangyuan was muttering: "Shen Lingqiu went to Qingzhou City, and Qian Ziqi also followed, but in the end, even Zhou Youliang died in that wild land, does this ultimately point to our Chen family in Ningzhou?"

Thinking of this, Chen Xiangyuan asked Shen Jiwen: "The people present, are there any traces of Shen Lingqiu and Aunt Zhi?"

Shen Jiwen replied categorically: "I haven't found the shadow of Shen Lingqiu and Aunt Zhi, I don't think Qian Ziqi came to pursue the two of them, otherwise the formation would not be so vast." ”

Chen Xiangyuan shook his head: "Things are definitely not so simple. ”
