Chapter 160: Marriage 8
Chen Ling looked at him, remembered Ouyang Yu, and suddenly asked, "Has he also punished his own people?" ”
Xiao Lin nodded: "About a hundred, all of them are white-eyed wolves who eat inside and out." If we didn't have a master, we wouldn't have learned martial arts, let alone the life we have today. ”
"But it's dangerous when you're in this business."
"In this world, human life is not worth anything." Xiao Lin said solemnly, "If there was no master, maybe the subordinates would have died a long time ago." ”
Chen Ling thought for a while and nodded: "Me too." ”
After returning to Chen's mansion and sleeping well, Chen Ling got up the next day, and heard the doorkeeper say, "Son, the eighth prince is here again." ”
Chen Ling said impatiently: "Today I want to rest, I don't see guests." ”
With yesterday's lesson, today's Chen Mansion has all been replaced with subordinates brought from Wangcheng, which is absolutely reliable.
Sure enough, after Chen Zhurong heard the news, he was about to break through again, and as soon as he made a move, he was suppressed by three strong men, and when he reacted, he had been swept out of the door by a broom.
He looked at the three strong men in front of him, his martial arts were not low, if he couldn't eat well, he brushed his clothes, walked out gracefully, turned into the alley, and climbed into the courtyard from the back door.
However, as soon as he entered, he saw four strong men beating him with three handfuls, and drove him out of the side door.
He couldn't help but narrow his eyes and asked, "You are all Chen Ling's subordinates?" ”
The strong men looked at each other twice, and then said with a cold face: "Someone asked us to protect the safety of the mansion, this prince should not embarrass us!" ”
"How much he gave you, Prince Ben paid three times the price." Chen Zhurong raised his eyebrows and said, "Just let Prince Ben in." ”
The strong men frowned and said resolutely: "No! The prince should leave quickly! Don't think of coming in without the consent of the Lord's house! ”
As he spoke, they raised their brooms again to drive them out.
Chen Zhurong gritted his teeth and slipped away.
Then every day, someone came over to invite Chen Ling and the eighth prince to talk.
Chen Ling was very annoyed, sorted out some clothes, dressed in tattered linen, went out from the side door with Xiaolin in the middle of the night, and waited until dawn to go out of the city, all the way to the west, until dusk when he saw a post station, went in and ordered some wine and food.
As soon as he finished eating, when he was ordering some dry food to be prepared on the road, Xiao Wu walked in from outside, and after confirming Chen Ling, he stood in front of them, hugged his fists and said: "Chen Gongzi, what a coincidence, my master asks you to wait here for a while, and he will come immediately." ”
Chen Ling knew the two of them and couldn't help but feel funny: "Who is the master of your family?" Is it Ouyang or Chen Zhurong? ”
Dawu was stunned: "Naturally, it's the eighth prince." ”
"It's really ghostly...... since he can't escape, Chen Ling can only face it bravely, and sit back in his position, "It's hard to resist today's enthusiasm, so my son will wait here for a while." ”
As she spoke, she took out a folding fan from her baggage, opened it, and fanned the wind leisurely, if she didn't look at her blue face, she really felt that she was leisurely.
After waiting for a tea time, Chen Zhurong came to the post station, his face was slightly sweaty, but the smile on the corner of his mouth did not decrease: "Chen Gongzi is boring to avoid this prince like this." ”
"It's not that you're too annoying." Chen Ling couldn't help but glance at him, how could he not have known that Chen Zhurong still had such a sticky technique, "Let's open the skylight and say something bright, why are you chasing after him?" ”
Chen Zhurong said seriously: "Because you look very similar to the daughter born in the dynasty. If you're a woman, it's like a person. ”
Chen Ling was stunned in place, lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time, and said, "Isn't the Holy Maiden dead?" I still remember the grief of the whole country that day. ”
"It's dead." They all watched her breath with their own eyes, sealed the coffin with their own hands, and the imperial tomb was so tightly guarded that even if they faked their death, they couldn't put it out.
Chen Zhurong believes that there are such similar people in this world, but no matter what, he has to decide on this person, even if it is a man: "Therefore, whoever has a phoenix birthmark on his body is a candidate for the saint." Now that there are two women, Prince Ben believes that there is a third and a fourth ...... in this world."
Chen Ling's hand under his hand tightened his sleeve, and he had to say that Chen Zhurong was very smart, and he actually thought of a way to confuse the real with the fake, so he could only stubbornly say: "But it's a man down there." A saint must be a woman. ”
"Prince Ben knows." Chen Zhurong smiled, "This prince is just missing his old friend, and I had some friendship with the Lingling Holy Maiden back then. ”
Chen Lingpi said with a smile: "What does that have to do with me?" ”
"Prince Ben is here to advise you just - don't be taken advantage of by your most beloved." Chen Zhurong stretched out his hand and wanted to touch her cheek, but Chen Ling hurriedly avoided it, put down his hand and knocked on the table, "You must know that Ouyang Yu is also a prince and has ambitions. ”
To this day, he has not forgotten to sow discord. Chen Ling sneered: "Although this son has known the Seventh Prince for a short time, he has been known for many years......
Chen Zhurong shook his head: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and they are prone to change. ”
"What the hell are you trying to say?!"
"Prince Ben wants to make a bet with you." Chen Zhurong's eyes carried a touch of greed, revealing his ambition, "If Ouyang Yu changes his mind, you will come to help this prince complete the great cause." If Ouyang Yu did not change his mind, on the day of the coup, the prince would help him cede the land as the king. ”
Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to say this, and shook his head in an instant and said, "He has no intention of power." ”
But he said: "Whether you have a heart or not, it's not just a matter of talking." ”
"If he had a heart, he wouldn't hide in a corner." Chen Ling got up and said, "Farewell." ”
Chen Zhurong blinked: "Stop them." ”
Chen Ling and Xiao Lin were surrounded by people before they left, and they were very depressed.
Immediately, she heard Chen Zhurong's voice: "This gamble can't be made by Chen Gongzi." Invite them into the carriage and go to the royal city together! ”
Hearing this, Xiao Lin pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword, ready to break through at any time, but was held down by Chen Ling: "Those who know the times are Junjie, just follow them." ”
"It's a smart man." Chen Zhurong smiled with satisfaction, gave up, and personally led them to the carriage.
However, Chen Ling made other requests: "I want to take a carriage by myself, can the eighth prince agree to be there?" ”
"Yes." As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Wu. The two men immediately went to prepare the carriage.
Half a month later, Chen Ling returned to the royal city and was placed in his outer mansion. Although he has a foreign mansion, he has never used it, and no one will pay attention to it, which arouses the suspicion of the prince.
He personally arranged a room for Chen Ling and found her two personal maids, but Chen Ling refused: "I'm used to being alone, and I'm not used to being served." ”
"Then be an ordinary maid messenger." Saying that, Chen Zhurong asked them to go out, and after careful arrangements, they returned to the palace.
