Chapter Seventy-Two: Planting Blame
Cangyuan knew that women were all different, judging from Zong Xueman's reaction, he had already accepted himself in his heart, but because of the woman's reserve, it was inconvenient to express his position directly.
With the expected answer in his heart, he didn't continue to tease Zong Xueman, and when dealing with girls, he knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he said, "Let's go back!"
Cangyuan returned to Shanghuayuan, Yueshengru and Aunt Xiang were still not at home, took a shower and changed clothes, he went into his room and began to study alchemy.
A must-go road from the east city to the west city.
Chen Hu, who fled in embarrassment, desperately whipped Huoyun Ju and ran back, he hated and feared Cangyuan in his heart, and only hoped to rush home as soon as possible to ask his father for help, this was the first time he made a fool of himself in Linglan City, and he was even scared to pee.
As he fled all the way, he felt that someone was following him, so he stopped his horse and turned around and shouted, "Who's coming out? Don't be sneaky."
A masked man in a golden robe slowly walked out of the woods by the side of the road.
The mask was painted with strange patterns, and the two piercing fangs in front of the mouth made people shudder to look at it.
Chen Hu pulled out his long sword, looked at the mask of the golden robe and asked, "Who is Your Excellency, why have you been following me?"
The masked man said in a cold voice, "Of course I followed you to kill you!"
"What a big breath!" Chen Hu was so angry, he was already frightened by Cangyuan's chaotic swordsmanship just now, and at this moment another masked man wanted to kill himself, thinking that he was a soft persimmon, and everyone wanted to pinch it.
He let out a loud shout, and the whole person jumped in vain, and the long sword swung a yellow sword light, and it slammed towards the masked man.
Everywhere the yellow sword went, trees were cut in half until they slammed into the masked man.
"Boom......" Chen Hu saw that Gu Ren was tricked, and said with a sigh of relief: "The straw bag also wants to kill me, dream!"
"Really?" Chen Hu had just finished speaking, but the masked man's faint voice sounded.
Chen Hu looked at the masked man, a little unable to believe his eyes, the other party actually ate his full strength without any damage, and his heart began to be afraid.
His only thought now is to "escape".
At this time, the masked man let out a sneer, the figure flashed, and instantly arrived in front of Chen Hu, a small white hand pressed the top of his head.
Chen Hu showed a look of horror: "You...... You're a ......."
Before the word "human" was finished, the masked man smashed his skull.
"I hope your death will make the Chen family angry with the Yue family. After dropping a word, the masked man instantly disappeared into the woods near the official road.
Chen Hu's body was found halfway by the Chen family's guards when they went to Dongcheng to collect the body.
"Bastard, who is so bold as to kill my tiger?" a breathless voice roared.
There was a middle-aged man standing in the hall of the Chen family, who was nearly fifty years old, bursting with the strength of a low-level spirit master, with a murderous face, and his eyes were red as he looked at Chen Hu's corpse on the ground, he was Chen Hu's father, Chen Guoping.
There was a woman standing beside him who was crying incessantly, it was Chen Hu's mother, Chen Yang, who was also a low-level spirit master.
Chen Yang grabbed Chen Guoping's hand and begged: "Guoping, you must find out the guy who killed my tiger, I will cut him with a thousand knives, destroy his clan, and let him die without peace." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Chen Guoping patted Chen Yang's shoulder, and then asked his men in a deep voice.
One of his subordinates hesitated for a moment, and then truthfully reported to Chen Guoping the cause and effect of the inquiry.
"Cangyuan!" Chen Guoping was startled at first, then the anger on his face did not decrease, and with a wave of his big hand, a nearby golden silk nanmu chair was instantly shaken away.
"Hao Yue family, do you think the Chen family is as easy to bully as the Li family?" Chen Guoping yelled angrily.
Among the four major families, the Zong family is at the top, followed by the Tao family, and the Chen family and the Yue family are comparable in strength.
However, very few people know that the Chen family's background is very terrifying, there are six top masters of the spirit master level alone, and Chen Guoping's father is a terrifying existence who has touched the edge of the king level.
What's even more terrifying is that the Chen family also has an extraordinary relationship with the Purple Sky Valley of the Eight Rank Sect, and most of the outstanding descendants of the Chen family have gone to the Purple Sky Valley to cultivate, and they have indeed cultivated many masters.
Now Chen Guoping's son Chen Hu has died unexpectedly, all signs point to Cangyuan is the murderer, Chen Guoping is the eldest son of the contemporary patriarch, and at the same time the successor of the next generation of patriarchs, he can't swallow this breath no matter what, he must hand over the murderer to the Yue family, otherwise he will not hesitate to fight.
In the evening, Cangyuan was still in the house studying the refining method of the elixir when he was interrupted by a quick knock on the door, "Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan, are you in the house?"
"Aunt Xiang, why are you in such a hurry?" Cangyuan hurriedly opened the door and asked.
"Oh, Xiao Yuan, you have caused a big disaster this time, and now the head of the Chen family is asking for a substitute from Shangru in the inner courtyard, saying that you killed Chen Hu. Aunt Xiang said with an extremely ugly face.
"Wait. Cangyuan was confused when he heard this, "You mean Chen Hu is dead?"
"Yes, didn't you kill it?" asked Aunt Xiang suspiciously.
"I really want to kill him, and if he dies, it will save me trouble!" said Cangyuan with a smile.
"You really didn't kill it?" Aunt Xiang still looked at Cangyuan with a little disbelief and asked.
Yes, this basin is buckled on his head, Cangyuan is really crying and laughing, it seems that someone is trying to blame himself.
"Why don't you even believe me?" Even the closest people didn't believe him, which made him feel very helpless, thinking that Yue Shangru would definitely think that he did it, so he took Aunt Xiang's hand and walked out, "Let's go, I'll go to the Chen family now, I'm still going to push back and block the killing of people in Cangyuan? Am I still afraid that their Chen family will not succeed?"
"You can't go, the Chen family has three spirit master steps, and if you go, you will only be sent to death. Aunt Xiang took Cangyuan's hand and said.
"Aunt Xiang, if you don't make this clear, it's really my Cangyuan, I don't want to be detained, no, I will even destroy the Chen family. Cangyuan said angrily.
Aunt Xiang was silent for a moment after listening to Cangyuan's words, and said firmly: "No matter what, I won't let you take risks, the head of the Chen family is a master who has touched the royal rank, if you have something, have you considered what will happen to Shangru?"
Cangyuan Zhen was confused by Aunt Xiang's words, and the two fell into silence for a while.
At this time, the guard at the door came in and reported: "Steward Wu, there are two deacons outside who have come to find my uncle." ”
Aunt Xiang frowned, then walked out, and Cangyuan followed.
There were two middle-aged men, both dressed in cyan robes, one tall and thin, with eagle eyes, high and convex facial bones, and a very cold and handsome expression, and the other was shorter, slightly fat, with a smile of schadenfreude on his face, and a pair of pumpkin hammers hanging from his back, which matched his body.
"Yuecong, what are you doing in Xianghuayuan?" Aunt Xiang said indifferently as she looked at the tall and thin middle-aged man.
This person is the son of the five elders, Yue Cong, that is, the father of the second general, known as the chief manager, in charge of the finances of the Yue family, and the high-level Xuanshi cultivator, because he competed with Yue Xiangru's father for the position of the head of the family back then, it was not until Yue Qiaoshan became the head of the family that he restrained a lot. It's just that since Yue Qiaoshan disappeared and Yue Xiangru took over as the head of the family, he jumped out again.
Yue Cong chuckled, and then said quietly: "I'm here to pick up Aunt Cang to go to the inner courtyard, let's go!"
"I don't know what mistake my uncle made, but you, the chief financial manager, came to invite him?" Aunt Xiang sneered.
Aunt Xiang was Yue Qiaoshan's maid back then, and she already knew a thing or two about them, and she meant that you were a financial deacon, and she actually interfered in the punishment.
