Chapter 184: Chen's Ancestral Hall
Hearing Xiao Qing's words, Tie Liqun didn't make any other moves, but his eyes deepened and sank, and when Wei Ruizhi, who was standing side by side with him, heard Xiao Qing's words, he still nodded involuntarily, expressing his agreement with these words.
"What's more, I have heard such a news, of course, this news is insignificant to the big family and the royal family, but for the civilians at the foot of the imperial city, it is earth-shattering news. In the past ten years, many young men and women have been invited to enter when they pass through the gate of the Chen family, and since they entered the gate of the Chen family, those people have never returned, and they have never returned. ”
Xiao Qing said as he looked at the expressions of the two people opposite without moving, and saw that their faces were gloomy when they heard this, so he continued, "Just a few days ago, when the Holy Emperor Academy was enrolling, Brother Xue was indeed targeted by a guardian beside Chen Qifeng, tonight, it was the first time that Brother Xue left the Holy Emperor Academy, and he encountered such a thing, if it had nothing to do with the Chen family, no one would believe it." And it doesn't make sense either. ”
"So I think that the disappearance of the three princes this time is related to the Chen family, even if the two of them are confused, but we are not wronged. ”
After saying this, Xiao Qing stopped, didn't say more, and left time for the two people opposite to think, Lin Haoxue glanced at Xiao Qing with a smile, and her heart moved slightly, and now she suddenly found that this Xiao Qing from the Xiao family is eloquent and good, what he said is indeed reasonable, and he can't find a loophole, but, listening to Xiao Qing's meaning, he really wants the worship of the two royal families in front of him to enter the Chen family to explore, could it be that what does he know?
Just as Lin Haoxue was thinking about this, Tie Liqun suddenly spoke, "You mean, let's go to the Chen family to have a look? Do you know anything?"
"I don't know anything, but I do mean to visit Chen's house. Xiao Qing raised his eyes to look at Tie Liqun, and did not evade it in the slightest, but answered categorically and without any shy words.
I hadn't heard of the Xiao family having a holiday with the Chen family before, looking at Xiao Qing with a calm expression, Tie Liqun was full of suspicion, he tried to recall the previous information about the Xiao family, but the Xiao family was too low-key, so low-key that there was almost no relevant information about the Xiao family in his memory, but he vaguely remembered that the existence of the Xiao family was longer than that of the He family, but the Xiao family rarely showed up in many public places.
But is it really just a coincidence that such a Xiao family can still stand firmly in the imperial capital of the Wuhuan Empire for so long? No, absolutely not! The more Tie Liqun thought about it, the more frightened he became. After a while, he finally nodded heavily, "Okay, tonight, for the sake of the third prince, let's go this way." ”
Hearing Tie Liqun's words, Lin Haoxue was a little surprised, she didn't expect Tie Liqun to agree so happily, Wei Ruizhi, who was standing next to Tie Liqun, was also slightly stunned, and looked at Tie Liqun a little puzzled, is this really determined to break with the Chen family?
In the imperial capital, although the royal family is the most powerful, but the four major families are not simply existing, if the four major families join forces, it is also a big threat to the royal family, so the royal family is generally unwilling to have a head-on conflict with the big family, if the royal family's Xuan Xian visits the Chen family at night tonight, this means that the royal family is suspicious of the Chen family.
Once the Chen family thinks that the royal family is suspicious and disapproving of their family, it will inevitably cause the Chen family's crazy counterattack, and at that time, I am afraid it will cause an uproar, even so, do you still have to do this?
"Let's go!" Just when Wei Ruizhi was puzzled, Tie Liqun had already said again, and then, his footsteps had already left the place, he didn't explain anything, but he used his actions to tell others his determination.
Seeing this, Lin Haoxue's eyes flashed, she glanced at Xiao Qing, and followed without hesitation, seeing that her third brother made such a decision, Wei Ruizhi still kept up with the pace of the three of them even though he still had some concerns, and several people walked towards the Chen family.
The Chen family, in the northeast corner of the east of the imperial capital, is closely linked to the outside of the city, and the family covers an area not as good as the other three major families, but it is not a lot.
When a few people came to Chen's house, they saw the closed door, most of them were resting, leaving only a few people to keep vigil here, it seems, there is no difference, but Lin Haoxue can sense that there are a lot of people lurking here, and the atmosphere is vaguely tense, this is a loose arrangement on the outside and tight on the inside, the Chen family is really not ordinary, but with these people, if you want to find the four of them, the difficulty coefficient is too high.
At this time, Tie Liqun's eyes suddenly cast on Lin Haoxue, that look was actually an inquiry, Lin Haoxue nodded, and the moment she saw Lin Haoxue nodding, several people jumped at the same time and entered the courtyard of the Chen family, the courtyard of the Chen family was very quiet, but several people were able to easily avoid the exploration of these people, and they all walked towards the corner in the southeast.
The southeast corner is where the ancestral hall of the Chen family is located, it seems that the people of the royal family are not unaware of the evil deeds of the Chen family, but they just ignored it before, and now, subconsciously walking to the southeast This action is enough to explain everything.
Soon, several people came to the ancestral hall of the Chen family, and in front of them was a huge metal door, tall and hard, it looked even taller than the gate of the Chen family, and this should be the center of the Chen family.
"Ancestral Hall" two big black characters seem to be engraved on the lintel, stroke by stroke, strong and firm, black as ink, at a glance, as if a black river is bubbling and flowing. However, when she saw the two words, Lin Haoxue's brows furrowed slightly, and her vigilance was also raised to the extreme, somehow, this kind of pitch-black thing, in Lin Haoxue's mind, did not seem to be black, but a flowing river of blood, revealing a stream of weirdness.
And just when Lin Haoxue looked at the black letters on the lintel, she suddenly took a few steps back, her face was indescribably shocked and surprised, just at that moment, the black beads that were originally located in Lin Haoxue's dantian suddenly moved, as if she was summoned by something, such a scene was something Lin Haoxue had never seen, she didn't dare to think about it, and immediately ran the white vortex in the dantian, which suppressed that thing.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Haoxue's abnormality was immediately noticed by the other three people around, and several of them stopped and stopped, not looking at the black letters, but at Lin Haoxue, who was a little out of shape, Xiao Qing pulled her sleeve, and asked suspiciously and worriedly.
"It's okay!" Lin Haoxue shook her head, showed a warm smile to Xiao Qing, and then looked at the other two people again, nodded politely, and looked calm and gentle.
"Did you find something?" Tie Liqun glanced at Lin Haoxue meaningfully, and he felt that the young man in front of him was not simple.
However, after he finished speaking, Lin Haoxue did not answer, but looked at those two words, as if he was a little distracted, Lin Haoxue did not answer his question, Tie Liqun did not get angry, but continued to raise his head, as if sighing, and seemed to be explaining, " The two words on the lintel can disturb people's minds, and not only this gate, all the buildings seem to be able to isolate people's minds from detection, we can't see the things inside at all, I think the ones who can do this, at least are immortal weapons, with so many immortal weapons, it is no wonder that the Chen family can gain a foothold in the imperial capital and stand tall. ”
"yes, I can't see what's inside," Wei Ruizhi and Xiao Qing said in unison. Only Lin Haoxue did not speak, but slowly closed her eyes. After a while, I finally opened my eyes.
At the moment when Lin Haoxue just opened her eyes, she saw that the three pairs of eyes around her were looking at her, and she hesitated slightly, and then said, "I can see what is inside." ”
"Can you see what's inside?" Hearing Lin Haoxue's words, Wei Ruizhi's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked eagerly, "What is it, is there any strange thing?"
"Here, there is no difference from the ancestral hall of ordinary people, except that on the futon, there is a young man who is being punished for kneeling, which looks very normal. ”
"Young man?" After hearing Lin Haoxue's words, Wei Ruizhi became more and more anxious, and he hurriedly asked, "What kind of person is it, how old is it, and what kind of clothes are you wearing?"
"About seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a blue gown, as for what he looks like, he has his head down, I can't see clearly. Lin Haoxue closed her eyes and said very slowly, she explained to several other people while watching that the power of other people's thoughts can be blocked, but her black thoughts can be unimpeded, and Lin Haoxue herself doesn't understand the reason.
"The cyan caftan is the favorite color of the three princes. Hearing Lin Haoxue's explanation, even the very steady Tie Liqun was already a little out of shape, and his expression was anxious, "Take a closer look, do you have any accessories on his body?"
"Accessories?" Lin Haoxue repeated slowly, her mind automatically invaded the ancestral hall opposite, she looked at the person in the cyan robe hanging his head slightly, his back to them, his hands were placed in front of him, and when he twisted slightly, a turquoise jade pendant was revealed on his waist, the emerald green color was very intoxicating, as if it was flowing blue water, and it was like the buds of weeping willows in spring, it was very beautiful, and she couldn't help but be slightly distracted, "There is an emerald green jade pendant on the waist, the color is very beautiful......
"Sure enough, it's the Third Prince!" Lin Haoxue's words didn't continue, but was interrupted by Wei Ruizhi's surprised voice, "The tattooed jade on the waist of the Third Prince is the only jade in the world. ”
When Wei Ruizhi and the two were happy, Lin Haoxue's eyes suddenly closed, and in an instant, his mind had been avoided inside the ancestral hall opposite, and his figure took a few steps back, staggering, and almost fell, but fortunately he was able to stand firm with the help of Xiao Qing, but after standing firmly, Lin Haoxue's face had changed.
