"The Chen family?"

Lin Xi glanced at Chen Feirong, then at his hands, and repeated these two words softly.

There are many clans surnamed Chen in the huge Yunqin Empire, but Lin Xi knows that the Chen family that Chen Feirong is talking about can only be Chen Yicheng's Chen family, the Chen family, one of the nine elders, sitting behind the heavy curtains.

Before the Leng family replaced the Huang family, after the nine heavy curtains, the people who guarded and supervised the Yunqin Empire were the Wen family, the Jiang family, the Rong family, the Yuhua family, the Hu family, the Huang family, the Chen family, the Zhong family, and the Kong family.

These nine families have a foothold.

The old shoufu of the Wenren family is the first assistant of the first emperor, and most of the oldest old people in the Yunqin court were promoted by him and are the leaders of the old school. The Jiang family has great control over the Criminal Division, is in charge of the Secret Agent Academy, and controls the eyes and ears of many Yunqin people. The Rong family has a large number of fiefs and workshops, a large number of commercial houses to support, and since the period of the first emperor, there have been a large number of top craftsmen in Yunqin, and many of Yunqin's ordnance are from the hands of the Rong family. The Uhua family has the support of the priests, has many fanatical believers, and the priesthood has many powerful cultivation secret arts, which is equivalent to having the support of many practitioners. The Hu family has a strong influence in the military, and Hu Piyi, the general of the Qianxia Border Army, is the best example. The Huang family has the absolute support of some local armies, and the Qing Stream in the DPRK and the local government also regard the Huang family as their leader. The Kong family is in charge of the Department of Justice, as for the Zhong family, when the emperor established the country, he was responsible for minting money and luck, and he himself came out of Xianyi Academy, and many students from Xianyi Academy worshiped under the door of the Zhong family, which was regarded as a place occupied by Xianyi Academy in the court.

As for Chen Zhaoji, he was one of the founders of the Thunder Academy in cooperation with the emperor, and he had many protégés from the Thunder Academy. And in a sense, this seat among the nine elders can be regarded as a seat occupied by the emperor.

The original "Nine Elders", aside from these forces known to everyone on the surface, I don't know how many powerful forces in the secret, in Yunqin, half of them practiced in the Nine Elders, this cultivation refers to cultivators, and no one knows how many cultivators and disciples these "Nine Elders" have recruited in the past few decades.

These numbers must be staggering, and the force represented by many cultivators unknown to the outside world is what the emperor and this world are really afraid of.

The Chen family has grown to such an extent, and it cannot be regarded as a person who is completely the emperor, but being an enemy of the Chen family is probably equivalent to at least going against a few of the Thunder Academy.

......

Lin Xi looked at his hands, frowned slightly, raised his head again, looked at Chen Feirong, and said softly: "So Fang Cai, you said that I was going to leave soon, and you wanted to borrow my shoulder to lean on... Actually, you are upset, for fear of affecting me and Da Dexiang, do you want to leave?"

Chen Feirong's eyes were inexplicably moved, she looked at Lin Xi and said, "Why don't you understand that I use this method to let you stand in front of me?"

"In the past six months, I can't move a lot, but I have learned to use more heart and perception to see things. Lin Xi listened to it as if he was talking about himself, as if he was talking about the price of some kind of growth, and said softly: "And after so many days, I have become very familiar with you, even if you have good acting skills, you can often only confuse some people who don't know each other." Of course I can tell you what you mean... Actually, to put it simply, if you mean something else, you won't tell me about you when everything is not clear, but you just think that the Liu family strategist is looking at you with a strange gaze, and if it is simpler, in fact, I think these explanations are nonsense... It's just that I know that you must have remembered a lot of unhappy things at this time, and you must be very unhappy in your heart, so I said this nonsense. ”

Chen Feirong burst into tears and chuckled, and looked at Lin Xi deeply: "Do you know that you are really a confidant who is very suitable for women." ”

"I know that women's intuition has always been accurate sometimes, so I'm afraid that this strategist of the Liu family will really have something to do with you. Liu Ziyu is also a young man, even if he belongs to the same backer, I don't think Liu Ziyu will help a young man like Zhang Lingyun. Lin Xi didn't smile, he just looked at Chen Feirong calmly and said, "Whether it's the Rong family or the Chen family, it has nothing to do with me... The point is, you are my man. ”

If in normal times, hearing Lin Xi's sentence "You are my person", Chen Feirong might not be able to help but say something funny, but at this time, she looked at Lin Xi quietly, then bowed to Lin Xi, made a serious salute, and said softly: "Yes, I am your person." ”

"What kind of thing is going on?" When the carriage had already begun to enter the backyard of the Dadexiang branch, Lin Xi looked at the scene outside through the gap in the curtain of the car, and asked softly at the same time.

"It's actually a very old-fashioned story of wives and concubines fighting for style. ”

Chen Feirong said quietly: "My father is Shui Qianchen, I don't know if you have heard of it, he was also a well-known talent in Yunqin back then, and now he is the president of the Court of Justice of the Department of Justice, although the official rank is ranked after the head of the Department of Justice and the deputy head of the department, but his wife is Chen Luoyan, the daughter of the Chen family." Therefore, in the Department of Justice, his real power is not even below the head of the department. ”

"My mother's surname is Ying, and she is the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Daji City, Shanlu Province. Since Shui Qianchen was able to get the favor of the eldest lady of the Chen family, he was naturally suave and really talented, and after meeting my mother unintentionally in Daji City one year, the two fell in love with each other, and my mother did not hesitate to become a disgraceful concubine for him. ”

"Originally, after I became sensible, Shui Qianchen was already an official in the Imperial City of Zhongzhou, and my mother and I have seen less and less, and it is rare to see each other once or twice a year, but for some reason, Chen Luoyan knew about the existence of me and my mother, so a cultivator came to my house overnight. Killed everyone in my family. ”

"Fortunately, I was born good-looking and my body developed early, and I seduced the practitioner and made his conscience a little disturbed with my words, and I survived... I was thirteen years old. Chen Feirong said very calmly, even if she said this, her face was very calm, but Lin Xi's hands were slightly clenched, he could fully imagine what a terrible thing it was for a thirteen-year-old woman back then.

"Later, the cultivator took me to the Dragon Snake Pass... He himself was a dead soldier of the Chen family, and after killing my whole family, in order to avoid being involved in the Chen family, he became an exiled cultivator, living in the border passes, doing some black market business, and no longer related to the Chen family. Chen Luoyan is very beautiful, but extremely conceited, thinking that after Shui Qianchen has him, it is unreasonable to have other women. So she is a real tigress, and probably Shui Qianchen can hardly stand her temperament, so my mother is not the only concubine outside. My mother and I were discovered by Chen Luoyan because he had a concubine in Zhongzhou City, and then Chen Luoyan found out thoroughly. Chen Luoyan was naturally furious... And in order to appease Chen Luoyan's anger, it was Shui Qianchen who took the initiative to kill all the women who had an affair with him outside. So what caused this was that although Chen Luoyan forced Shui Qianchen to express his position, the killer was ultimately sent by Shui Qianchen. ”

"And later... I learned a lot from that practitioner and killed him... Then I was just waiting for someone to take me to the Imperial City of Zhongzhou. ”

"I don't know if they know if I'm dead or not, but I know that if they know I'm alive, they know that I will hate the Chen family terribly... So when I was hiding my identity, I used the surname Chen, I reminded myself not to give up, not to forget this surname Chen, and at the same time, I also thought that they should think that people who hate the Chen family and Shui Qianchen so much would never use the surname Chen or Shui. ”

......

Lin Xi quietly listened to the whole story.

This is indeed a very old-fashioned story, the official raised a lover outside, and was discovered by the more powerful wife in the family, in order to completely make a stand, he did not hesitate to kill the lover to show that the most important thing is the wife. In order not to expose his affairs and his reputation, and to give his opponents in officialdom a chance, he also killed all those who knew and killed his lover's entire family.

But such an old-fashioned story has something beyond his bottom line.

Even his own daughter will be killed... In order to survive and take revenge, thirteen-year-old Chen Feirong did not hesitate to sacrifice her body to the killer who killed her whole family....The killer naturally knew the hatred in her heart... But in the end, she was killed, among them, what price did Chen Feirong pay?

These are all things that make him feel a cool killing intent in his heart.

He looked at Chen Feirong and said softly and calmly: "In your plan, even if you can go to the Imperial City of Zhongzhou and have the identity of having the opportunity to meet them... But their identities are still extremely noble, and you can only assassinate them. Even if you can succeed, you will definitely not be able to live. ”

Chen Feirong nodded: "If you don't kill Wenren Cangyue and that archer, it will be difficult for you to be happy, if I don't kill Shui Qianchen and Chen Luoyan, I will not be happy in this life." ”

Lin Xi also nodded: "I understand... But I told you before that hatred can make us forget some of our pain and make us stronger, but we can't let it take over everything we have, and we can't let it become the meaning of our existence. To take revenge, at the cost of everything, it is not worth it at all. ”

"Only by watching the enemy cry, laughing at himself, letting the enemy die, and living well, is it worth it. Lin Xi looked at Chen Feirong and said slowly and seriously: "Life is like a journey, any scenery, any friend, is worth cherishing." ”

Chen Feirong smiled and said softly, "With someone like you standing behind me... I'm not going to think about the burning of jade first. I'll think about what you say. ”

"You just wait and see what happens in this semicolon, and I'll go see Zhang Lingyun first. ”

Lin Xi nodded, didn't say anything more, opened the car door, and walked out.

The warm sunlight shone in from the car door, shining softly on Chen Feirong's body.
