Volume 1 Tribulation Chapter 178 Greedy Zhao Lei
Unexpectedly, Xu Chen heard a good news the next day, when he was just about to go out to cultivate, he saw Huang Zhongjie coming to the room with a spring breeze on his face, followed by a few sturdy family members, but they were all standing outside the door and did not come in.
Xu Chen saw that there were a few good sandalwood boxes beside these families, and it was estimated that there were many valuables in them, so he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Master Huangzhuang, what are you doing here?"
"Xu Shaoxia, hurry up and change into clean clothes and go out with me to meet someone. ”
"Who?"
"His Highness the God King Wind Chihiro. ”
As soon as Xu Chen heard this name, he became angry, that is, this guy does not distinguish between right and wrong, and his master Nangong Muyang has been locked up in Xuanhu Mountain so far, if it were not for the purpose of looking for Uncle Taishi here, with Xu Chen's reckless character, I am afraid that he would have lurked into Xuanhu Mountain to save his master.
But how could Huang Zhongjie think of Feng Qianxun at this time? Xu Chen was puzzled, so he asked tentatively: "Master Huang Zhuang, are we going to go far to Xuanhu Mountain? This is not good, if we leave Mingyue Mountain Villa, what if Jiuyao takes advantage of the situation to attack?"
"Haha, you don't have to go so far, Your Highness is now in the post house in Qingping County. ”
"Hey, why did he come to us, didn't he come to exterminate Jiuyao's gang of thieves?" Xu Chen then knew why the gongs and drums were noisy last night, and he couldn't sleep because of the noise, it turned out that Feng Qianxun came.
"Not really. But I'm also asking him for it. As long as His Royal Highness Feng Qianxun sits in Qingping County, Jiuyao will not dare to attack us. ”
Huang Zhongjie opened his words, it turned out that the Emperor of Heaven was grateful to the Fu Wangfu for giving up the throne to the Huyan family, and every year on the birthday of the prince, he would prepare a generous gift to come to Jinhua City, the capital of Shangzhou, to celebrate. This year, it was unfortunate that Hu Yanzhao could not come by royal car because of something important, so he entrusted the god king Feng Qianxun to give gifts on his behalf. Last night, Feng Qianxun and his party arrived in Qingping County, so they rested in the post house for a night.
Xu Chen thought to himself that it was no wonder that Fu Qianzhu's letter said that he would come to Mingyue Villa later, it turned out that Fu Wangye's birthday had arrived, and of course he couldn't get out, so he sent someone to Mingyue Villa to report the news first, in case he was plotted by the enemy.
It seemed that Fu Qianjiao would not be able to catch up for a while, so Xu Chen had no choice but to pin his hopes on Tie Jiugong, hoping that he could reach Qingping County as soon as possible and fight the enemy together with him.
At this time, he heard Huang Zhongjie smile and said: "Don't rub it off, young man, let's hurry up and go to Jinhua to see His Highness, otherwise it will be too late, maybe he will have gotten up and rushed to Jinhua City." ”
This is indeed good news, if Feng Qianxun is willing to help, Mingyue Villa will naturally turn the corner, but Xu Chen hesitated.
After all, he is a guilty person, although Qianshuangxue has helped him change his appearance, but Xu Chen almost exposed his identity in Niushou Mountain, he can't help but take precautions, worried that Feng Qianxun has many capable people around him, in case he finds out his identity, isn't it self-defeating?
Huang Zhongjie didn't know Xu Chen's concerns, and urged him and himself to go to the post house to see Feng Qianxun, and Xu Chen had no choice but to lie and say: "Master Huang Zhuang is really embarrassed, I have occasionally felt cold and unwell in the past few days, and I am afraid that I will be offended when I see His Royal Highness, which is a big disrespectful crime." ”
Huang Zhongjie heard Xu Chen say that he was sick and it was not easy to force him, so he arranged for an entourage to go to the county to ask a doctor to treat Xu Chen, and he and several family members went to see Feng Qianxun.
Before leaving, Xu Chen chased out of the door again and whispered, "Master Huang, I still have something to ask for." ”
"What's the matter, young man, just say it. ”
"My master Nangong Muyang is still locked up in Xuanhu Mountain, and I hope that after the owner of the village sees the God King, he can intercede for him if it is convenient. ”
"Don't worry, I will. "Huang Zhongjie has already heard about Nangong Muyang, not to mention that Xu Chen is about to become his son-in-law, how can he not help.
After Huang Zhongjie and his party left, Xu Chen went to a secluded place to practice, he didn't dare to let the doctor come to see him, otherwise the lie would be exposed.
It was still the same as yesterday, and he hadn't practiced for a long time, and his body was frozen like ice, Xu Chen had no choice but to stop his practice and get up to go back to his room.
How do you know that Huang Zhongjie hung his head and said: "Alas, I have worked in vain, and His Royal Highness looks down on Huang at all." ”
"I'm really sorry for you, but I made His Royal Highness angry for the sake of the master. ”
"Xu Shaoxia, I didn't have a chance to mention the matter of Nangong Xiandi today. ”
"Ah, didn't you see Feng Qianxun?" Xu Chen was stunned, thinking that this guy had set up a stinky shelf for the owner of Huang Zhuang to eat the closed door.
"Not really. I first reported the matter of Jiuyao to him, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness to tell me that he was going to Jinhua City to congratulate Prince Fu on his birthday by the imperial decree of Emperor Tian, how could he delay the trip for such a trivial matter. After saying that, he sent someone to blast me out, how can I have the opportunity to ask him about your master's whereabouts again. ”
Xu Chen didn't expect Feng Qianxun to be so ruthless, he couldn't help but say with hatred: "This old guy is so cold-blooded, such a person can also become a god king, it's really blind." ”
"Shhhh ”
Having said that, Xu Chen also saw that Huang Zhongjie was quite dissatisfied with Feng Qianxun, and sure enough, before he could speak, he heard Huang Zhongjie frown and say: "How can I be regarded as half a person from Chongwu Mountain, if my uncle Karama is still alive, I will not be insulted like this." ”
As soon as he heard Garama's name, Xu Chen almost burst into tears, and he had to be sad and not turn his head away, lest Huang Zhongjie see that he was a little out of control.
Huang Zhongjie said again: "It's really a person who walks to tea and cool, back then, Feng Qianxun and Uncle Shi could be said to be friends of life and death, but now they are so indifferent, alas, alas, alas!" He sighed a few times in a row, and his face was sad.
Xu Chen couldn't listen to it anymore, and after saying goodbye to Huang Zhongjie, he went back sullenly.
When he walked through the back garden, he suddenly heard the sound of someone talking in the bushes in front of him, and he suddenly became alert, thinking, "It can't be Jiuyao's people lurking in Mingyue Villa, right?"
He jumped lightly on an old tree and crouched himself in the canopy, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was Lin Yu and Zhao Lei whispering there, and both of them looked a little nervous.
Xu Chen couldn't help but feel strange, and said secretly: "What are the two of them discussing? Could it be that when they saw that the mountain villa was in trouble, they privately discussed and prepared to escape?"
Xu Chen couldn't help but be a little angry, he didn't expect these two people to be so timid, so he flew down lightly, quietly approached the two, and hid behind the rockery to listen to what they were saying.
After listening to it, Xu Chen was a little surprised, and even felt a little funny.
It turned out that Zhao Lei was bored in the village last night, and he was afraid that Jiuyao would sneak attack at night, so he went outside alone to drink flower wine.
But he didn't expect to find that the whole city had a curfew after going out, he knew that something was happening, and happened to meet the head catcher Guo Hong patrolling with a team of people, so he stepped forward to ask what was going on.
He didn't care when he heard the news that Feng Qianxun was about to enter the city, but after he said goodbye to Guo Hong, he saw Feng Qianxun's car driving into the city, so Zhao Lei stood on the side of the road and watched the excitement with the people.
Just watched such a good work, which made him look excited, and his soul did not possess his body. Zhao Lei found that behind the guard of honor were a group of men carrying dozens of heavy gold-inlaid wooden boxes, and immediately knew that this was a congratulatory gift from Emperor Hu Yanzhao to Prince Fu.
Zhao Lei doesn't have too many shortcomings, but he loves money and is a little stingy, and now when he sees so many treasures, his saliva almost flows out, and he didn't sleep well all night after returning to the room, and his mind is full of the shadow of that treasure.
During the day, he couldn't help it, so he privately pulled Lin Yu here to steal some treasures with him.
Zhao Lei was born as the king of the mountain, so he took the king's law lightly, but Lin Yu was different, he was an authentic warrior of the Protoss, although he was driven down the mountain by his master Kong Biao, he wanted to return to Chongwu Mountain all the time, and naturally he was unwilling to do such evil things with Zhao Lei, so he half scolded and half persuaded Zhao Lei to dispel this terrible idea.
Although Xu Chen doesn't have a good impression of Feng Qianxun, but now is the critical moment of Mingyue Villa, if Zhao Lei has an accident again, it will be difficult to deal with the owner of Huang Zhuang, he hurriedly walked out from behind the rockery, and said to the two: "Brother Zhao, don't do stupid things, that Feng Qianxun is definitely not a good type, if you commit it to him, I don't know how much suffering you will suffer." ”
Hearing these words, the two of them were shocked, and when they saw that it was Xu Chen, they breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Yu hurriedly said to him: "Senior brother, you must not tell this matter." ”
"Don't worry, I will never say it, in fact, I also came to persuade Brother Zhao like my senior brother. ”
Seeing that both of them were against making a fortune by themselves, Zhao Lei knew that it was impossible to steal the property from the heavily guarded Xuanhu Mountain Protoss warriors alone, so he had to sigh: "That's it, just because I haven't seen these things, it's just cheaper for the old guy surnamed Fu." ”
I thought that this was the end of the matter, but who knew that there were extraneous branches, but at this time, someone suddenly laughed and said to them: "This is ill-gotten wealth, what's the harm in taking it, besides, it is a god-given wealth, and there will be no such shop in this village." ”
Now it was the turn of the three of them to be taken aback, but they didn't expect someone to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Not far away, the shadow of the tree flickered, and a man jumped down as light as a swallow, his beard was white, and he was dressed in shabby clothes.
Xu Chen looked at it fixedly, and almost even his eyeballs fell, he never expected that this person would be the old thief King Shen.
Zhao Lei didn't recognize him, rolled his eyes and said sharply: "Who are you, this old man, who dares to eavesdrop on Lao Tzu's conversation!"
As soon as Xu Chen wanted to open his mouth to introduce, Wang Shen had stepped forward and said with a smile: "The little old man's surname is Wang, and his single name is a Shen character, and he is a friend of Xu Shaoxia. ”
As soon as he heard Wang declare his name, Zhao Lei's face changed, and his attitude was a little respectful, he clenched his fists and said, "Senior is the grand thief Wang Shen, who is known as the Golden Swallow?"
"Little Lao'er is, but the word thief doesn't dare to be. ”
Zhao Lei said with envy: "I have heard the name of my predecessors for a long time, and it is said that you have never missed a hand in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, which makes the younger generations very admired." ”
Wang Shen said with a smile: "Little brother, are you interested in doing this business with me, and the treasure will be divided equally at that time." ”
"Yes, yes! I hope that my seniors will help!" Zhao Lei hurriedly nodded in agreement, for fear that Wang Shen would change his mind.
