"I'll check the information, you can go and get busy. ”

"Yes".

The door was pushed open, and Chu Yan walked in.

Chen An immediately turned into a shadow and hid silently in a corner.

It is still very difficult for this level of secret art to be completely invisible, and it must be with the help of dark shadows, and even if it can be completely invisible, it will have no effect in front of a real master, breathing qi-based heat, and even life fluctuations may be perceived.

So he didn't dare to breathe, and he nestled in that corner motionless.

Chu Yan didn't seem to notice him, as if he was aimless, just wandering between the various bookshelves.

After a while, he stopped, pulled a book from a shelf, and read it carefully, as if he was really looking up information.

But Chen An concluded from his observation that the other party's mind was not in that book at all, even if his face was not revealed at all, Chen An still felt his anxiety and anxiety, as if he was waiting for someone.

I don't know how long it took, just when Chen An's concealment technique was about to be unable to support it, Chu Yan finally put down the book in his hand and turned around and said, "You're here?"

Because of Chu Yan's arrival, a lamp was lit in the house, and most of it was gloomy and dark.

At this time, as Chu Yan turned around, in the darkness behind him, a person slowly walked out, a person whose whole body was shrouded in a black cloak, and he responded in a low voice: "Elder Chu is here so early, what an honor to be here." ”

Therefore, Chen An pursed his lips disdainfully, looking at the other party's style, he directly gave a four- or five-star evaluation, if it was seven stars upward, there was no need to do this, it was really mysterious and powerful.

Of course, the most important thing is that if the other party exists above the seven stars, he will definitely be able to discover his hiding. Even now, he also guessed that the other party had discovered him, but he was not familiar with Chu Yan, thinking that it was a secret whistle buried by the Chu family, so he didn't break it.

"Don't talk nonsense, what I promised you has been done, shouldn't you also show the sincerity you deserve. ”

Chu Yan's face was cold, and the meaning of vigilance was written on his face.

"Hehe, of course, that's what I'm here for. ”

The black-cloaked man laughed without a smile and said, "According to our investigation, the person who killed Chu Han was King Xian. ”

"How is it possible?" Chu Yan was shocked: "How can we Chu family He De let King Xian target and assassinate such a pickled thing." ”

Chen An was also stunned when he heard it, and immediately showed a look of thought.

I heard the cloaked man continue: "It is indeed King Xian, and it is King Xian himself. Elder Chu may have underestimated the status of the Chu family in the Great Song Kingdom, the Chu family has always had a deep heritage in our eyes, and the current Chu family is even more hegemonic in the mountains. After Chu Han's death, Elder Chu, you completely took over the family, you should know the current wealth of the Chu family, to be honest, the two sects of the Chu family and the east and west are working together to pull up a team of 100,000 armor warriors overnight, and it is not difficult to think about it, right?"

Chu Yan's face was calm, but he said: "With the strength of my Chu family's Eastern Sect, it is indeed a little difficult, but with the addition of Guanzuo's Western Sect, it can indeed be done." ”

Chen An, who was secretly hidden, also nodded when he heard this, he knew this, even better than Chu Yan.

The current Jingmen Chu family is only the Dongzong who moved from Guanzuo, and the Xizong who still remains in the ancestral land, although the two sides have been separated for a long time, but after all, they have the same origin and have close ties with each other, and even after the Dongzong successfully jumped from the village tyrant to the county, the Xizong still faintly has the meaning of being headed by the Dongzong and willing to listen to the order.

After Chu Yan finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the cloaked man: "You know very well about my Chu family's investigation, what kind of conspiracy do you have?"

The cloaked man said bluntly: "I just want to cooperate with the Chu family and share the world of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Fart. Chu Yan almost laughed angrily: "How many families and how many capable people there are in the entire Great Song Kingdom, do you know? It's ridiculous that you, a person who doesn't even dare to show your face, dare to talk about winning the world. ”

For Chu Yan's ridicule, the cloaked man was not angry at all, and said in a hoarse and steady voice: "Can we do it, there is no point in arguing here, when we continue to cooperate with the Chu family, Elder Chu will believe it one day." ”

"Cooperation? Chu Yan shook his head and said: "Our cooperation has ended, I will help the Ling family you said to seek the land in the mountains, stand firm in Zhangyuan County, you help me investigate the murderer of the head of the family, now the two are clear, no one owes anyone." ”

"No, no," the cloaked man shook his head, "I think we've only just begun to work together, and the first ones are just a show of sincerity." Even if Elder Chu doesn't have ambition, don't you want to take revenge for being killed by the head of the family?"

"This is my Chu family's business. ”

"Hehe, Elder Chu, who do you think King Xian is? Send you additional information, King Xian's strength far surpasses that of Shen Gang, and even the existence of his subordinates who surpasses Shen Gang is also quite a lot, how can the Chu family take revenge alone? Or you don't want to take revenge, but how can you be sure that King Xian just wants to kill the head of the Chu family, not to take the Chu family's inheritance? If King Xian turns his face, how can you not lose the Chu family's century-old foundation at that time?"

"Only us, only by cooperating with us, can you have the power of revenge, and even the power to protect the Chu family. ”

Chu Yan was silent, but his cheeks twitched a little.

"Hehe," the cloaked man sneered and continued: "Elder Chu, you better think about it again, I will leave today, and when you think about it clearly, notify me at any time, you know the way to contact me." ”

As soon as his words fell, the thick darkness behind him seemed to come to life, and suddenly swallowed his entire body and disappeared in front of Chu Yan.

Chu Yan was the only one left in the room again, standing there with a cloudy face, and after a long time, he sighed deeply, opened the door and walked out.

"Ugh. ”

Chen An staggered out of the shadows, although the secret technique can trigger some mysterious power with the help of the rules of heaven and earth, it is not completely depletion-free for himself. Although this consumption is very small, the burden is still too great for Chu Yan's weak body, especially if it has exceeded the time limit for the use of secret techniques for so long, his thin body is drenched in sweat, and his hands and feet are beginning to weaken a little.

At the last moment, there was almost no restraint, if Chu Yan hadn't been silent in his own thoughts, he would definitely be able to discover his horse's feet.

There was no time to check his own condition, and as soon as he confirmed that Chu Yan had completely left, Chen An returned to his old plan and withdrew from Jingxin Garden and returned to his small courtyard.

He has four servants, four maids, and two personal maids, and a lot of people, but now the courtyard is dark, and they are all asleep.

Back in the room, today is Hong Aya on duty, sleeping in his outer room, at this time this girl has no heart and lungs on the bed sleeping on all fours Zhengxiang, Chen An didn't care about her, went straight to his bedroom, took off his clothes and lay on the bed.

This trip has gained a lot and needs to be sorted out carefully, but before that, you have to see if there is anything wrong with your body. There will always be some hidden dangers when using secret techniques in an overtime.

But fortunately, in the end, it is a secret technique that does not enter the stream, and the damage to the body is still limited, but the internal organs are a little weak, just eat more porridge and food to replenish and recuperate.

Next, he had the heart to think about the things he heard from Chu Yan today.

Chu Yan's pattern is too small, and many things can't be seen clearly, but Chen An is different, he is used to looking at the overall situation, so from the words of the cloak man, he immediately heard a lot of extraneous sounds, and found a lot of differences.

The first is the origin of the cloak man, Chen An, who has all the memories of Chu Han, can be sure that there is no such ** person in the Great Song Kingdom, and the method he uses to come and go is not like the Shengang system, but more like a secret technique.

The second is what he talked about, the proposal to share the Great Song Kingdom with the Chu family may be just a cover, but it may also be its real purpose.

Although the Great Song Kingdom is in a corner of the edge of Youyuantian, there is no shortage of resources, and it will not fall into the planning of people with intentions.

From the words of the wild wolf, it can be seen that there are countless large and small forces in Youyuan Heaven, there are many forces that are stronger than the Youtian Alliance and the Great Star Heaven, and there are also many forces that are weaker than these two. Where neither of them can look down upon, it may not be that these people don't look down on them either.

Moreover, it can also be seen from the transaction between the cloaked man and Chu Yan that eighty percent of the Ling family was supported by this secret force, and wanted to use it as a springboard to embezzle the entire Great Song Kingdom.

It's just that this plan doesn't seem to be going very well, so the idea is hit on the Chu family again.

If Chen An or Chu Han would definitely show up and agree, the conspiracy or anything else would not need to be considered at all.

Those who can see the barren land of the Great Song Dynasty must not be a big force, and those who secretly plan here and plan can only show that there are many people or forces in the Great Song Dynasty that make them jealous, so the root of the other party, probably the definition of strength can be judged.

So if the Chu family cooperates with such a force, there will inevitably be no such thing as a precursor to the king, as long as you are smart and don't leave too many things to be pursued after failure, and if it succeeds, it will be a great wealth, and at the very least, it will be the secretary of state, at best, maybe you can make a royal family to have a good time.

What is the reason not to agree to such a benefit. In fact, even if you fail, you don't have to worry too much, it's just that the political opinions of introducing outsiders are not accepted by everyone, as long as you are willing to bow down and be small, kneel down and apologize, you can't continue to survive in the gap between King Xian and Jiuxun. Worried about this, worried about that, worried that others will use conspiracies to harm themselves, but it's just because their own strength is not enough.

Of course, if he is not in his position or in his politics, these are all issues that Chu Yan needs to consider, and they are not within the scope of Chen An's thinking.

However, it was the fact that Chu Han was killed by King Xian that made him have some thoughts, after all, it was his predecessor.

Was that because of helping the old lords, or because of the call of the Heavenly Alliance?
