Chapter 6 Acceptance as a follower
"The city lord's daughter has taken a fancy to you and wants you to follow her as a sidekick. No matter how cold-blooded the third master of the Chen family was, he was embarrassed to say the words of the city lord's daughter as they were, "You go and serve well, and if you get ahead, you can also glorify the court." ”
"Can I not go?" Chen Tang said in a low voice, he knew that it was unrealistic, a word from the city lord was more useful in the Chen family than the holy decree.
"What? How can you not go to this great good thing? The daughter of the city lord is the princess, and she has to be polite when she sees it. Pack up and go. "The third master of the Chen family doesn't care about Chen Tang's opinion at all.
Chen Tang had no choice but to lay the burden, but he made up his mind in his heart, and ran away when he had the opportunity, regardless of what the city lord princess was.
Coming to the hall of the main house, a group of people were already full of wine and food, and the city lord was impatient, seeing that the third master of the Chen family was coming with Chen Tang, so he asked the head of the Chen family to say goodbye, how could the head of the Chen family be willing to let go of this opportunity, so he arched his hand and said: "Isn't the city lord in my Chen family's children?" waved his hand, the housekeeper comprehended, and asked the next person to carry a box up, and after opening it, the city lord saw that it was a box of jewelry and gold, and some precious medicinal materials.
It is said that the city lord is already at the peak of the pneumatic realm, and if he doesn't need these mundane things, what he can use can be called a treasure of heaven and earth in Xiyue Kingdom, but after all, the family has a big business, and he still needs to use these gold, silver and jewelry.
"Oh, what are you doing, master. The city lord waved his hand.
"Lord of the city, my Chen family can have today is all dependent on the care of adults, and now the adults are going to build a foundation to become immortals, my Chen family has no immortal treasures to worship adults, only these mundane things. The head of the Chen family arched his hand: "Adults must not dislike it." ”
"Then you're welcome. The city lord smiled and said, "By the way, just now I saw a child of the Chen family named Chen Yu, who looks quite smart, so I'll take him away." ”
The head of the Chen family was overjoyed and bowed: "Thank you, Lord City." Go and call Chen Yu over. ”
The city lord said, "Master Chen, don't you have any sons? ”
"Thank you for your concern, my second brother's children and I are overage, I have two sons and two daughters, one manages the family business in the county town, and the other cultivates to the sixth order of the Qi Realm, and apprentices to Xu Zhonglei of Xiyue Gate in Beiyue Kingdom. The head of the Chen family couldn't help but show a hint of pride.
At this time, Chen Yu entered the hall, and the city lord didn't want to delay any longer, so he said goodbye again. The third master of the Chen family called Chen Yu to give him thousands of instructions, but of course, no one paid attention to Chen Tang. The lord of the city packed up and stopped, the carriage was ready, and the jewels were also carried into the carriage, calling Chen Yu and Chen Tang, and they went on the road.
Although Chen Yu looked down on Chen Tang, but for the first time when he went far away, although Chen Tang had a hateful face, after all, it was the Chen family, and the two sat on the back edge of the carriage pulling goods and chatted.
"Chen Tang, why would the city lord want you to follow?" Chen Yu asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, but I didn't ask for it from the lord of the city, but the daughter of the lord asked me to be a servant. ”
"Oh. Of course, the city lord doesn't look down on you. Of course, Chen Yu was a little arrogant, the status of the servant of the city lord and the daughter of the city lord was different.
The city lord rode a horse in front, the city lord's daughter sat in the carriage, plus a carriage of goods, four guards, two coachmen, two Chen family boys, and a group of ten people headed north. The mountain range in front stretched, it was Jiuyang Mountain, and when he reached the front of the mountain, the city lord slowed down and walked parallel to his daughter's carriage.
"Yan'er, we will go to your grandmother's house in Jiuyang City after passing through Jiuyang Mountain, we are going to sleep in Jiuyang Mountain, I remember that there is a broken temple in front of us, you can rest there. The city lord pointed to Jiuyang Mountain in front of him, "Everyone be careful, the mountain road is difficult to walk." ”
Yan'er poked her head out of the carriage, "Daddy, will there be bandit beasts?"
"There's a father, what bandits and beasts are afraid of. "This is not bragging, with the realm of the peak of the city lord's qi realm, Xiyue Kingdom can go sideways.
There was nothing to say all the way, and the speed of travel into the mountains was naturally not fast, and in the evening, I really saw a broken temple, and several people entered the broken temple, Chen Yu and Chen Tang were servants, of course, they did some servant work, and the escort coachman cleaned up the weeds on the ground, cleaned up the ground, and made a fire to cook. Simply eat some dry food and cured meat, boil some hot water, the city lord and his daughter sit in the Buddhist hall, the two guards and the coachman are under the eaves outside the hall, the two guards are on guard around the perimeter, and Chen Yu and Chen Tang are resting in the corner of the hall.
The sky slowly darkened, flickering through the bonfire, Yan'er saw that Chen Tang's face was flickering in the firelight and became more hideous, her heart was annoyed, and she pointed at Chen Tang and said, "You go out, what should you do if you invite ghosts here." ”
Chen Tang was speechless, but he was willing to go out, and he might have a chance to run away. So Chen Tang picked up the burden and walked out of the temple silently. Chen Yu wanted to say something but didn't say anything, watching Chen Tang walk into the darkness.
The sky slowly darkened, the city lord cultivated cross-legged, and Chen Yu also fell asleep in the corner, probably tired, snoring softly.
The city lord opened his eyes and touched Yan'er gently, Yan'er woke up, and the city lord asked his daughter quietly: "I have already put some blood qi pills in Chen Tang's meal just now, and now the medicine effect should have worked." ”
"Well, after two hours, it should be fine. Yan'er turned to look at Chen Yu, "Daddy, what do you want this waste for?"
"Isn't it for Chen Tang? Otherwise, the Chen family will definitely suspect that I want a boy who has not cultivated to do anything? If this Chen Yu is obedient, he will do chores at home, and if he is disobedient, he will be slaughtered. The city lord asked again: "Is that piece of the mark on that kid's face really useful? Your master is about to build a foundation, and he still loves beauty so much, isn't she disgusting when she eats it with that piece of memory alchemy?"
"Master inadvertently said once that this kind of birthmark can practice the elixir of rejuvenation, which is a kind of home remedies. Daddy, before you peel off the birthmark for a while, you have to kill him as quickly as possible, and then the birthmark that is peeled off is the most bloody. To others it was a beast attack"
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be able to take it and talk to Master. After the city lord finished speaking, he closed his eyes and practiced, and the broken temple quieted down.
At this time, the Blood Qi Pill did attack in Chen Tang's body, Chen Tang was hot and dry, and the blood flow accelerated, if it was during the day, you could see that the birthmark on the face changed from black and red to blood red, and the Blood Qi Pill had the effect of replenishing blood and invigorating blood for cultivators, which was helpful for cultivation, and the reaction to ordinary people was a bit big, but it couldn't kill people.
Just now Chen Tang wanted to look at the terrain and run, but a guard was around him intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was monitoring him, Chen Tang had no choice but to find a place to lie down, and after a while, the effect of the medicine attacked, Chen Tang didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only stick to the cold stone slab as much as possible to alleviate the pain.
Chen Yu also had a seizure at this time, but it was not the effect of the medicine, but fear, the conversation between the city lord and his daughter At the beginning, Chen Yu woke up with urine, and after listening to the conversation, Chen Yu almost scared the urine out. Chen Yu thought about it, and after half an hour, Chen Yu turned over and sat up slowly, and the city lord opened his eyes
