Chapter 62: Surprise the Viper
After dinner, Rong Ruozheng wondered if Mu Beichen was idle in the past two days, playing chess by himself every day, and he didn't even have time to learn riding and shooting, thinking of this, Rong Ruo asked Banxia to bring a message to Yan Hui, saying that he was sick in the past two days, and he would make an appointment another day.
Less than five days away from the safflower painting, the daughters of the celebrities in the capital have not been free to go out these days, and they are all secretly working hard, hoping that the safflower painting will be a blockbuster on the same day.
It is said that safflower painting is a fun competition among Miss Beijing, but there is another meaning in secret. It is also to use a stage to show the charm and talent of his daughter or granddaughter, attract the favor of noble sons in famous families, and maybe make up a good relationship.
This is one of the reasons why safflower painting attracts attention every year.
Therefore, after the competition, there are always a few families in the capital who have begun to organize wedding events, which can be lively until the New Year, and are talked about by everyone.

Chu Feng, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, held a paper fan in his hand, walking casually, and with the chic of a jade tree in the wind.
But he is obviously not as relaxed as he is on the surface, and after coming here for a few days, he has secretly sent people to grasp a lot of evidence, but there is still some key information missing.
These officials have been in the officialdom for a long time, which one is not an old fox, so this time Mu Beichen sent other officials to deal with it on the surface, and he took a scene, but behind his back, he asked Chu Feng to stare at it.
The autumn wind brings a pool of water in the south of the Yangtze River, and the falling willow leaves are sprinkled in the water of the moat, drifting leisurely with the ripples.
The style of Jiangnan, Chu Feng still likes it, and it also resolves the little depression in his heart.
Chu Feng shook his fan and expressed great regret that he was not fortunate enough to observe the prosperous scene of saffron painting at the scene this year. I received a letter from Yan Xue the day before yesterday, and I heard that Rong Ruo has been practicing well recently.
The corners of her mouth slowly provoked a flirtatious smile, that second sister-in-law is still quite interesting.
The handsome young man in the gorgeous robe and crown walked all the way, attracting the attention of countless people, and the girls glanced at it shyly, and their faces were already red.
Chu Feng made an appointment with someone today and wanted to go to Desheng Restaurant.
Walking through a busy city, he stopped and looked up, the three words "Desheng Building" on the plaque were vigorous and powerful, and the pen was flamboyant.
This restaurant is the most luxurious in this area, magnificent and magnificent, and the glazed tiles of the roof shine in the sun.
Chu Feng picked his lips and smiledβthis is it.
He took a step forward, and suddenly a petite figure rushed over.
"Yes, I'm sorry!" A crisp and delicate female voice with a hint of timidity.
Compared with Mu Beichen's indifference in rejecting people, and Yan Hui's usual rigor and uprightness, Chu Feng has always been gentle and polite, and even good-tempered to the extreme.
He lowered his head and met the girl's raised face.
The girl looks like she is fourteen or fifteen years old, with long bright eyes and bright teeth, fresh and lovely. A small face is plain to the sky, round and full, but the eyes are particularly large, and the water is smart and moving, as if it contains a pool of clear waves.
The upper body was a lilac cardigan, and the bottom was a matching skirt, but she wore a lot of silverware on her wrists and neck, which were carved with intricate and strange patterns.
Taking a closer look, Chu Feng's eyes were surprised, they were all scorpions, snakes and the like, and the girl's long black hair was also fixed by a silver hairpin in the shape of a spirit snake, and there was no decoration.
"Didn't hurt you, did you?" As he spoke, he had to stretch out his hand to check, and the girl's big black eyes blinked, which was especially cute and smart.
Chu Feng was funny, with a short figure like hers, how could she hurt herself.
"Look at it next time you walk." Chu Feng put away the folding fan, avoided the girl's touch, and smiled slightly.
"Mmmmmm, it's okay, I'll go first." The girl grinned toothily, and in the sun, the white teeth made her smile bright and bright, and could make people feel her sincerity.
Chu Feng nodded, and when he saw the person sitting in a box on the second floor, he didn't say anything anymore, and walked quickly in the direction of the restaurant.
The girl took a few steps forward, then turned around, looked at Chu Feng's back, her moist black eyes turned, revealing a little cunning, and then quickly disappeared into the passing crowd.
The boxes in Desheng Building are not cheap, but today on the second floor, all the boxes are reserved for one guest.
Therefore, when the shopkeeper delivered tea, he was extra courteous and respectful.
"Guest, tea is here."
The shopkeeper smiled and sent the tea and a few plates of snacks, Yu Guang stole a blank look, the son on the left was gentle and elegant, after he poured the water, he also nodded politely at him to express his gratitude, and the strong man on the right was more than forty, majestic and mighty, with a somewhat fierce face, not angry and self-assured.
"You're welcome, the guest officer has something to say." The shopkeeper hung his waist and stepped back, and with his eyesight, he could see that these two people were not easy to offend.
When he retreated to the door and was about to close the door, there was a flower in front of him, and the shopkeeper subconsciously stretched out a pair of hands, and felt the heaviness of his palms.
"Guest officer, this ......" The shopkeeper's eyes widened in stunnedness.
The elegant and noble son waved a folding fan and shook it: "Reward you, we have something to talk about later, and I don't want others to disturb me." β
The shopkeeper hurriedly stuffed the silver into his arms, Le's mouth almost didn't close, and he nodded again and again: "Understand, don't worry, the guest officer will definitely not bother even a fly." β
The door closed, and the box fell silent.
"Third Master Chu, Mo Shoucheng is very cunning, but I have already agreed with him to trade in Wuhe the day after tomorrow." The strong man on the right spoke, his voice gragged.
Chu Feng picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip, changed his past frivolity, and became more serious between his eyebrows: "Okay, continue to send people to keep an eye on it, and then tell Lord Wang that he will continue to find trouble in Mo Shoucheng in the past few days, and he said that he received a report from someone today that he was hoarding illicit salt in the Yong'an warehouse in the west of the city and brought people to search it." β
The strong man on the right is called Wei Wuchang, and his eyes are full of puzzlement: "Third Master Chu, will this startle the grass and snakes." β
"Yes." The corners of Chu Feng's mouth rose slightly, and his gentle and elegant face smiled confidently: "Lord Wang is here to scare this poisonous snake, and then he will be in a hurry to sell that batch of hoarded goods and complete the transaction with you." β
Wei Wuchang is a rough man, but after following Chu Feng for a long time, he can probably figure out his thoughts, think about it for a while, suddenly open up, and hug his fists and say: "Third Master Chu, you are still powerful." β
Chu Feng raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect you Wei Wuchang to have a day of sycophancy." β
Wei Wuchang stretched a national character face and said solemnly: "What I said is all from the heart, and there is no half-truth." β
Chu Feng raised a finger to support Eji, shook his head and chuckled: "You are a person, this is not good, there is no humor at all, no wonder you are thirty, and you can't say that you are a daughter-in-law." β
Wei Wuchang's swarthy face couldn't help but turn red, and he said with some embarrassment: "Third Master Chu, you ......"
"When this matter is over, I'll ask the second brother to tell you a daughter-in-law." Chu Feng stood up, walked to Wei Wuchang's side and patted him on the shoulder, with a reassuring expression.
Wei Wuchang immediately straightened his sitting posture and said with a stern face: "Thank you Third Master Chu, it is still the matter of King Jing that is important." β
Chu Feng walked to the window, his dark eyes swept out casually: "Wei Wuchang, the matter here is over, you go to Xilan." β
Wei Wuchang stood up: "Sealand? King Jing said before, let me stay here and deal with the affairs of the Yan Gang and the Cao Gang, in the past few years, although the two major gangs have been under the pressure of Mo Shoucheng and are temporarily in a state of confrontation with each other, but my people have been arranged to go in, and after Mo Shoucheng has cleaned up, I believe that the disintegration of the Yan Gang and the Cao Gang overnight is just around the corner. β
Mo Shoucheng is the prince's person, and he is the most favorable financial supporter behind the prince.
Therefore, everyone wants to take this piece of Jiangnan for their own use.
The sun shone on Chu Feng's face, as warm as jade, and the corners of his mouth were always slightly raised, showing a bit of patience and good temper, but at this moment, his dark eyes were slightly dark, and his face was a little complicated.
"Someone else will take over here, and let you go to Sealand, to find someone."
"Third Master Chu, you mean......" Wei Wuchang thought of something.
"Three years ago, the second brother picked up a life, but the poison on his body has not been completely unraveled, you go to Sealand this time to find the poisonous witch in the Medicine King Valley, but the whereabouts of the poisonous witch are strange, and no one knows where the Medicine King Valley is, and I heard that this person is mysterious and unpredictable, and does not interact with outsiders, don't act after you find it, just write to me."
"I know that." Wei Wuchang obviously didn't expect this, and his face was full of shock: "But with King Jing's current body, wouldn't it be very dangerous to stay in the capital. β
Chu Feng gently shook the folding fan with his right hand: "Don't worry, the reason why there was an accident three years ago, except that the eldest brother was not in the capital, the biggest reason is that the second brother didn't think about fighting, and now it's different." β
Wei Wuchang was silent, he had received Mu Beichen's great favor, so he had always been one of the most loyal subordinates, and he also knew what happened three years ago. Being in the royal family, it's not that you can't stay out of it if you don't want to fight, many times, you often can't help yourself, and being too good is also an original sin.
Wei Wuchang was even relieved that King Jing was finally willing to make a move, instead of blindly forbearance.
"Third Master Chu, please be sure to take care of King Jing, Xilan's side, I will do my best, even if I give up my life, I will help King Jing find an antidote!"
Wei Wuchang is a rough man, but the words he says are sonorous and powerful, with incomparable loyalty.
Chu Feng raised the corners of his mouth: "Okay, I believe it, but I still try to keep your life, and there will be a place to use you in the future." β
"Yes, I understand."
"Go ahead, these things will be resolved until Mo Shoucheng is resolved." Chu Feng sighed faintly: "Alas, I really miss the capital a little. β
Waiting for Wei Wuchang to leave, Chu Feng leaned against the window and took a sip of tea, and when he was about to leave, a light purple appeared in his eyes, and his petite figure was quite flexible, seemingly rushing left and right, but in fact, he was very careful to circle around those people.
Chu Feng couldn't help but squint his eyes, and after looking at it for a while, he chuckled: "Little liar." β
At first glance, he had kung fu, and he pretended to bump into him......
