Chapter 7: Eavesdropping Outside the Window

"Plan, what plan?" Zhao Mingchen asked.

The village chief paced slowly, walked to the window, and looked out the window at the high Qingyuan Mountain.

"Recently, the crops in the village have been frequented by the wild boars, pheasants and monkeys in the mountains, and the wandering bandits have also come to take advantage of the fire. The villagers are miserable, and I want to set up an organization, the Township Warrior Group, to protect the villagers. ”

"Well, this is a top priority, and if you have my place, you will never say anything. When are you going to set it up?" Uncle Pang asked impatiently.

"Come on, Yide, you go to Phoenix City to find Wang Ren, and ask him to send weapons tomorrow for those young talents to choose. The village chief commanded.

"Okay, I'll leave now, Chen'er Ling'er, you have a good rest here, I'll go back as soon as I go. Uncle Pang stood up and was about to leave, but he was in a hurry.

"You've just come back, you've been so busy all the way that you haven't even had time to drink your saliva, you're going to leave immediately, are you?" said the village chief.

"Hehe, as soon as I heard about the establishment of the Township Warrior Regiment, I was not tired at all, and the preparations for such a good thing could not be delayed. I'm leaving. Uncle Pang arched his hand and really walked out of the village chief's courtyard.

"Be careful on the road, Yide. The village chief shouted as he looked at his back.

"Got it, don't worry!" After speaking, Uncle Pang's figure disappeared in an instant.

"Good job, your father-in-law is loyal and upright, vigorous and resolute, and never drags mud and water. Learn a lot from him. The village chief told Zhao Mingchen earnestly.

"Yes," Zhao Mingchen replied.

"I've prepared a place for your brother and sister, so you can eat and rest first. Prepare for tomorrow's event. ”

After Zhao Mingchen agreed, he took his sister Xiao Ling'er to the back kitchen for dinner. Before I entered the kitchen, I heard someone talking from afar. He turned around and made a "shhh" gesture to Ling'er and eavesdropped under the window.

"Hey, Li Laosan, have you heard? The Xiao Chen who came back just now, his background is a mystery. ”

"Brother Zhang, didn't he pick it up from the Land Temple by Ye Laohan in the east of the village? I have heard Ye Laohan say it himself. ””

It was Zhang Quan, the steward of the back kitchen, and Li Hai, the cook, who spoke.

Fifteen years ago, I went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, and I saw a young man at the foot of the mountain fighting fiercely with four or five men in black at the foot of the village. A man attacked the man with a hidden weapon, and the man was wounded and fled up the mountain. ”

The rest of the men in black then continued to chase after me, and I dared to come out. The scene was stained with blood, broken wood and gravel everywhere, and there were many deep pits caused by internal forces. I found a waist tag on the corpse of a man in black, and it turned out to be a secret agent of the Imperial City. ”

"Early the next morning, I gave the village chief the card, and he told me not to mention it to anyone. The death of the Ouchi spy in Qingyuan Village is not trivial, and the government will inevitably cause death if it is investigated.

As soon as he finished saying this, he saw Ye Laohan send a jade pendant and said that he had picked up a child, and this jade pendant was found on the child. This child is that Xiaochen. ”

"Oh, I see. I think it must have a lot to do with it. Nine times out of ten, Xiaochen's appearance has something to do with that incident. That jade pendant must also be a royal treasure. ”

"In this way, Xiao Chen is not a descendant of the royal family, maybe he is the ...... of the first emperor"

Both of them were shocked at the same time, and they covered their mouths with their hands and did not dare to say any more.

Zhao Mingchen heard this and thought to himself, if what they said was true, he was likely to be a descendant of the royal family, but the truth needed to be ascertained step by step. Now the most important thing is the jade pendant, and the only way to ask the village chief is to ask for it.

Thinking of this, he flashed out and slammed the door in.

Inside, Zhang Quan and Li Hai were immediately startled, and their faces showed panic and uneasiness, so they were not embarrassed.

"Two uncles, what are you talking about me? What young man in black, what inner secret agent, what royal descendant Shuanglong Jade Pei? The story is very exciting! Again, little nephew, listen carefully. ”

Zhang Quan and Li Hai were dumbfounded when they heard this, they really said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao were here, and they had been making trouble for a long time, and they had heard it all about it, and this kid was quite a thief at a young age! But how should the water spilled out of the words end? If this incident was stabbed in front of the village chief, they would not be able to eat and walk around.

Zhao Mingchen sneered in his heart when he saw that the two of them were red-faced and at a loss, but he pretended to be innocent and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will never hear of this." I'll keep it a secret for you. ”

When the two of them heard this, their faces were overjoyed, and they hurriedly walked over and hugged their fists and thanked: "Young Master Chen takes the overall situation into account so much, and he will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future." If anything is of use to our brethren, let us tell us, and we will do our best and die without giving up. ”

Xiao Chen became Young Master Chen, and the sycophants immediately made this sound!

Zhao Mingchen said: "I don't need you to die, my sister and I haven't eaten since the morning? ”

"Okay, this little thing is on me, Young Master Chen, wait a minute. Lehi preemptively said. Immediately started the stove and lit the fire, cold mixed hot stir-fried stewed soup and porridge, in less than half an hour, four dishes and two soups were served in front of him.

Zhang Quan was not far behind, took out half a jar of aged champion yuanhong, put it on the table and said: "Although this wine is not of high grade, it is also a little bit of my heart, I hope that Young Master Chen will not dislike it." ”

"Thank you, you two can sit down and let's use it together. ”

The two hurriedly excused themselves, saying that you and Miss Ling will use it slowly, we still have business trips to get busy first, and I hope that what you promised will be ......."

"Don't worry, what I said is true, how can I go back on my word?"

"That's great, thank you. ”

The two hurriedly said goodbye and turned around and went out.

Zhao Ling'er said: "Brother, you really have a way, just come here and let these two people obey." ”

Zhao Mingchen said: "As long as he grabs the handle of others, he will be obedient." ”

Zhang Quan and Li Hai walked out of the kitchen and came to the backyard, and Li Hai said: "This child used to be timid and afraid of things, and he was bullied and swallowed his anger, but now he seems to be a different person?

Zhang Quan said: "It's not easy to have such a scheming at a young age, you and I will control my mouth in the future, and today's things must not be repeated." ”

was muttering, and when he saw the village chief coming over, he quickly shut up and walked over to say hello.

"What are you two doing here? You guys give me a trip to Phoenix and buy some horses to my usefulness. ”

"Yes. The two hurriedly went to the account office to pay the silver ticket and set off on the road.

Zhao Mingchen and Ling'er had eaten wine and dinner and returned to their rooms to rest.

Zhao Mingchen caught a glimpse of the yellow burden and thought that the secret must be here.
