Chapter Forty-Eight: The Wind Rises in the Middle of the Night
It was already late at night after sending Wang Chenhua and his party away, and the group of sons and brothers didn't seem to feel bad about Chen Tianze, a coarse tea and light meal and a few jars of aged wine made them spend an afternoon in Zuixuan Pavilion, and when they went out, Wang Chenhua even had a big tongue, walked swayingly, and was helped to leave.
Back in the room, the master's sister and Wang Chuxue had disappeared, Chen Tianze was not surprised by this, Luo Qi has always been elusive, and there is naturally no problem with Wang Chuxue.
After a brief wash, Chen Tianze leaned on the bed, took out the red ruling order that he had just obtained from his arms, and frowned.
The content of the ruling order is very simple, that is, Chen Tianze is required to adjudicate Qin Huotang, a major underground force entrenched in Bingzhou City, within one month.
Last night's action was just a temptation of his own, and from the internal information of the adjudicator, it could be seen that the dilapidated courtyard was just a joint place in Qin Huotang. Next, Chen Tianze has to go to a few places and test them one by one, which can be regarded as deliberately startling the snake.
In fact, this is also a helpless move, there is a lot of news about Qin Huotang in the Zhiwei Bookstore, but there is no key information, such as who the boss is, where is the headquarters, and what staffing is there. Some of them are some joint points, some warehouses and so on.
What made Chen Tianze feel even more troubled was that there was no helper to deal with such a big gang? You must know that even when he was dealing with several killers of demon tribes in Xihe County, he dispatched a lot of middle-grade adjudicators, and even a fifth-grade adjudicator, how did he come here and become the commander of the light pole.
Chen Tianze once suspected that this was deliberately done by the superiors, either to test himself, or to kill himself directly. No matter what the reason, Chen Tianze can't take it lightly, the appearance of Fairy Xiao has already given himself a warning, which means that there are already people in the adjudicators who are eyeing him, even those so-called high-level.
Now that all the spearheads are pointed at the Sima family, it seems that if Chen Tianze wants to rule Qin Huotang in one fell swoop, he will definitely not be able to bypass this family that is deeply rooted in the empire.
After thinking for a while, Chen Tianze put away the ruling order in his hand, and then thought of the master sister who was rubbed with oil by himself last night and went to the kitchen in person today.
Chen Tianze was very curious, what kind of cultivation did this master sister have, judging by the situation she had seen in the dense forest outside the city before, how could she also have the Heavenly Thunder Realm, right?
Wang Yatou also said that this master's sister had already become her own master more than ten years ago, which proved that more than ten years ago, this mysterious person from Xiuning Palace had already cultivated well.
Thinking of this, Chen Tianze was suddenly taken aback, Hao Lianmingjing, the pious man in Xihe County before, once said one thing, that is, after several decades, he met the same person on the way to the temple of Xiuning Palace, and that person's appearance did not change at all!
Chen Tianze couldn't help but have a headache, and said to himself: "Good girl, there won't really be such a way as to have a face forever, right?"
――
In an exquisite attic, an elegant woman sits on an intricately carved bed, holding a book, her eyes looking hollow and ethereal.
It was clear that her mind was not on the book, but on something else.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door, and the woman sitting on the bed retracted her thoughts, and said softly without raising her head: "The door is open, come in by yourself." ”
The door opened, Wang Chuxue's head stretched out first, and after making a grimace, she swooped into the room and said with a smile: "Sister Master, I haven't slept yet." ”
Luo Qi, who was sitting on the bed, flipped through the books in his hand casually, and said softly: "This is an unknown matter, what's the matter?"
Wang Chuxue pouted, jumped to the side of the bed, sat down, shook her head and said, "I can't sleep." ”
Luo Qi put down the book, looked up and smiled: "What's the matter?
As soon as these words came out, Wang Chuxue's face turned red and nodded slightly, I don't know why, Luo Qi also had a trace of imperceptible shyness.
"Sister Master, can I ask you something?"
Wang Chuxue smiled, Luo Qi was stunned for a moment, and nodded.
"Brother Tianze is the adjudicator, right? But he doesn't have martial arts cultivation, right?" Wang Chuxue hesitated, and his expression converged.
Luo Qi was startled for a moment and sighed: "You know everything?"
"Guessed. Wang Chuxue looked melancholy and said: "I guessed it from the time he said that he wanted to be the boss in Bingzhou, but I didn't expect him to be Bai Dingjing." Sister Master, why do you say that a person from the Bai Ding Realm can be a referee?"
Luo Qi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought that Chen Tianze had mentioned that night that he was a Xuantian physique, and it stands to reason that most of his life has no chance with martial arts, but such a person has become a referee?
After thinking about it for a long time, Luo Qi shook his head and said that he didn't know either.
It's just that that night when I saw Chen Tianze, who was fighting for his life, spit out blood one by one, and his calm appearance, it seemed that people felt a faint distress, like a tiny silver needle, gently inserted into their hearts.
Wang Chuxue sighed softly, frowned, hesitated for a long time before raising her head, and said, "Sister Master, is something going to happen to our family?"
Luo Qi chuckled in her heart.
"I guess. Seeing this situation, the smart Wang Chuxue lowered her head and sighed softly, and said: "Daddy, who has just gone out, will come back soon, it used to be a month or two, and you have also been in Bingzhou City for several months, you must have returned to Xiuning Palace in previous years, and there have been some new faces in our family recently, and Daddy also told me to let me go out less." Sister Master, what do you say is going to happen in our family?"
Looking at Wang Chuxue's worried look, Luo Qi stretched out her hand and patted her on the head, and chuckled: "Don't worry, no matter how big the matter is, there are your father and master, you don't have to worry about it, it won't affect you." ”
Wang Chuxue nodded, her expression still melancholy.
The room fell silent, and after a long time, Wang Chuxue raised her head, her eyes were red, and she choked up: "Sister Master, I have actually guessed that Brother Tianze was also involved in it this time, otherwise you would not appear in Zuixuan Pavilion, Master, can you do me a favor?"
Seeing that the always cheerful Wang girl suddenly had red eyes, Luo Qi was also a little surprised, she didn't expect this girl to be so smart, so she had to nod and say, "You say." ”
"Can you not let Brother Tianze get hurt? I'm really worried about him, I'm afraid that he will die like this, I'm afraid that one day he will suddenly disappear into this world. The tears in Wang Chuxue's eyes had broken through the last line of defense, and she pulled Luo Qi with sobbing and trembling, and choked up: "Master, sister, please, you must protect Brother Tianze, he has grown so big helplessly, and when he is bullied, he will only lower his head and grit his teeth, and if he is in difficulty, he can only carry it himself, but they still can't let go of Brother Tianze, please, Master, help me take care of Brother Tianze, okay?" Master, okay?"
"Okay!" Luo Qi's heart was like a knife at that moment, because of the apprentice in front of him who never bowed his head, and because of the man who could make Fairy Xiao's eyes red!
The wind rose in the middle of the night, and sobs rang out in the attic.
Downstairs, Wang Zhong squinted his eyes and sighed softly.
Clever daughter, stupid daughter.
Who would have thought that the lawless female devil on weekdays, the cheerful eldest lady, and the carefree rich lady would be so smart and so sad?
Luo Qi suddenly remembered a song that circulated in the Holy Empire decades ago: If you don't know lovesickness when you're young, and if you don't fear lovesickness, you will harm lovesickness.
