Chapter 285: Quid pro quo
Xiang Ling heard Chen Yi's words and nodded slightly towards him, "You better go to the back and hide first, no matter what happens, just leave it to us." β
The three people in charge of the shopkeeper saw Xiang Ling's unusually serious expression, and their hearts beat drums, how did they go to the General's Mansion to deliver food, how did it become this scene? Even if the food sent is not to the taste, at most it will be beaten, how can it be so serious.
Although there were doubts in their hearts, seeing Chen Yi and Xiang Ling's non-joking looks, the three of them knew that they must not be telling lies.
Half-convinced, the shopkeeper had to take Wang Fatzi and Ah Tian to the back hall, and before leaving, he also told them not to be reckless, but to talk to people well.
Xiang Ling naturally deserved to be happy, and after nodding frequently, he directly pushed the shopkeeper into the back hall, and then closed the door.
At the moment when the door closed, the door of the lobby that had been hidden was kicked open.
Subconsciously, Chen Yi pulled Xiang Ling behind him, and his body turned out of the gate at the same time.
Outside the door, dozens of black-clothed fish in strong suits rushed in, and after arriving in the house, they occupied all corners, and a few of them walked directly to the door that entered the back hall, Chen Yi glanced at the black-clothed guards by the door with his residual vision, and saw that they had no intention of going inside, so he turned his gaze back to the door.
At the gate, the young master of the General's Mansion was striding in surrounded by everyone, and when he saw Xiang Ling and Chen Yi in the lobby, a kind of surprise lit up in his eyes, and then he glanced at the restaurant where there were no guests, and walked to the square table in the middle and sat down.
"I didn't expect you to leave? It seems that you still have some backbone, and you don't want to affect those innocent people because of your own affairs. The young man seemed to appreciate Chen Yi and Xiang Ling's decision not to leave, and leisurely lifted Erlang's legs.
Looking at the relaxed young man, Chen Yi heard the threat in his words.
When the young people say this, they are giving them a signal,
"Tell me, what are you going to do?" Chen Yi directly pulled Xiang Ling forward and looked at the young man.
The young man was very satisfied with Chen Yi's straightforward way of talking, and he also decided to open the skylight and say something bright, "I can ignore your rudeness to me in the past, but you must go back with me and be my subordinate." β
"Your subordinates?" Chen Yi was a little strange about the young man's decision, "We collided with you, and you still want us to be your subordinates?" β
"Yes, isn't the best way to punish a man who is rude to me be my subordinate, so that he must be respectful to me every day?"
"Aren't you afraid we'll run away?"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! You won't run! "Young people are confident.
"How so?" Chen Yi suddenly became interested.
"Isn't that something obvious? If you want to leave, you have already left, why wait for me here, the reason why you don't leave is just because you are afraid that we will find this inn, and you are afraid of causing others. β
The words of the young man,Just about to hit what Chen Yi thought in his heart,Although there is a lot of unwillingness,But I don't want to involve other people's personality,It's Chen Yi's innate,In the previous life,It's because of this character that is difficult to abandon,It has led him to fall into a difficult situation many timesγ
At this level, Chen Yi knew that Xiang Ling knew better, but for this request of the young man, Xiang Ling suddenly thought of a benefit.
"That's it, we're going to be your subordinates, but before we promise you, can you tell us why you want us to be your subordinates!"
The young man looked at Xiang Ling, saw her shrewd eyes, and smiled, "I know, naturally I can't hide it from you, since this is the case, I am not afraid to tell you the truth, in fact, I asked you to be my subordinate because I need your help." β
"Help?"
For this reason, Xiang Ling didn't think that such a high-ranking and powerful person needed to help him and Chen Yi.
"I can't say this clearly for a while, but when you go back with me, I'll tell you in detail."
As he spoke, the young man stood up and motioned for the guards to return to their homes.
"Wait a minute!"
Xiang Ling stopped the young man at this time, "Before we go back with you, I also hope you can do us a favor." β
Help? The young man looked back in wonder, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
This girl, June debt, repaid quickly, and she didn't say anything she could help them with, but she spoke first.
"It's not a big deal, I just hope you can help us find someone."
"Looking for someone?" The young man was a little hesitant, and at this time, Chen Yi had already realized what Xiang Ling meant.
This ghost girl seems to want to take advantage of the young man's local prestige to find out Master Zhou and them.
The young man was a little puzzled by Xiang Ling's request, but he was just looking for someone, and the young man didn't want to delve into it, so he nodded and agreed, and then took someone to leave first.
Xiang Ling and Chen Yi saw that the young man did not let them go together, and knew that the young man was very sure that they would not escape, so they shook their heads and said goodbye to the shopkeeper who came out of the back room.
Although they have known each other for a long time, several people seem to be like friends who have known each other for a long time, and when they say goodbye, they can't help but be emotional.
Xiang Ling couldn't stand this, so he dealt with it casually, and left with Chen Yi in a hurry.
According to the agreement, Xiang Ling and Chen Yi, under the leadership of the guards, went to meet the young man, who was sitting in his room waiting for them.
After holding everyone back, the young man quietly examined Xiang Ling and Chen Yi, and finally said his plan to bring them over.
"You should have all heard that I'm a person who basically doesn't go out much, even if it's for dinner, I'm always looking for someone outside to bring it in, in fact, I'm like this for a reason."
The young man sighed, seeing that Chen Yi and Xiang Ling were calm, and continued, "Many people think that it is because my parents have children in their old age that I am so domineering, but in fact, how do outsiders know about our family's affairs. β
The young man paused when he said this, and when he saw Chen Yi and Xiang Ling's eyes move, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"Actually, I'm at home all day long, I'm hiding, my parents a few years ago, offended some people, the enemy threatened, I will definitely want my parents to die, you know, I am the only son of my parents, after the enemy said these words, the parents' attention naturally fell on me, they were afraid that the enemy would come to the door and take my life, so they had to let me hide here all day long, stay at home, I am also a young man with strong blood, hiding here like a lady all day long, the temper is naturally not good, But there is no way, although I have some skills, but after all, I am not the opponent of the enemy, so I can only follow my parents' orders and hide here. β
"Then you mean that we are going to deal with your enemies now?" Xiang Ling heard the meaning of the young man's words.
The young man nodded, "Yes, I see that the skills of the person next to you are not comparable to ordinary people, so I hope he can help me, I don't want you to kill my enemy, I just hope that you can use your martial arts to make him give up revenge." β
"If I can really resolve the grievances between you, I am still willing to do this matter, but who is your enemy, and with your parents' status here, they are afraid of him to such an extent?"
"My enemy is not a local, he was originally from Sanping Town."
"Sanping Town!" Chen Yi and Xiang Ling exclaimed at the same time.
"You've been to Sanping Town?" The young man frowned when he saw Chen Yi and Xiang Ling's expressions.
"I've been there before." Xiang Ling saw that Chen Yi's expression suddenly dimmed, so he had no choice but to say softly.
Xiang Ling knew that too many things had happened in Sanping Town, and Chen Yi didn't want to talk about it.
"You've been there, so do you know that the guard of Sanping Town, Chen Zhongliang?"
"The guard of Sanping Town, isn't it Shen Zheng?" Xiang Ling said strangely, she clearly remembered that Chen Zhongliang was just a deployment of Shen Zheng, how could he suddenly become a guard.
"Shen Zheng has already returned to the palace. The current guard is Chen Zhongliang. Chen Zhongliang is a person who is stubborn and self-serving, unscrupulous in doing things, and threatens to make my parents last is him! β
"Don't talk nonsense, Brother Chen is definitely not this kind of person." Chen Yi couldn't help but be angry when he heard the young man say this about Chen Zhongliang.
"Brother Chen! You actually called him big brother, what is the relationship between you and him? The young man heard the unfriendliness in Chen Yi's words and said vigilantly.
"I've fought against Tart Snow with him from birth to death, and he is definitely not the person you say!" Chen Yi said lightly.
The young man looked at Chen Yi suspiciously, and began to beat a drum in his heart.
Unexpectedly, the helper he finally found turned out to be a friend of his enemy, so he didn't send sheep into the tiger's mouth.
His eyes flashed, and the young man's vigilant expression became more and more intense.
Xiang Ling saw the changes before and after the youth, and knew that he was wary of himself and Chen Yi, so he couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't worry, we won't treat you unfavorably just because you are Brother Chen's enemy, it's just that, as far as I know, Chen Zhongliang is indeed a loyal person, why would you say that about him?"
"Loyal people! Bullshit! The young man saw that he had exposed his hostile relationship with Chen Zhongliang anyway, and no longer concealed it, "In front of outsiders, he is a great general, a general who has made great achievements, but only we know how inhumane his deployment and his subordinates are, and my parents also annoyed him because they accidentally bumped into his bad behavior." β
"Between you, what happened, you'd better tell me exactly what happened!" Chen Yi no longer wanted to listen to the young man's accusations against Chen Zhongliang, and just wanted to know the truth of the matter.
The young man looked up at Chen Yi and saw that although there was anger in his eyes, there was no cunning, and his heart was crossed, so he told the truth.
