Chapter 503: The Old Man Visits
Looking at Chu Yan's determined expression, Chang Zai still wanted to say something more, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back raw. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If a woman really falls in love with a man, that kind of desperate madness, even paranoia, Chu Yan can't understand.
So Chang Zai felt that even if he said it, he wouldn't change anything, and he could only let the facts tell Chu Yan that his thoughts were just wishful thinking.
And at this time, the days of the Xiahou family finally came to an end, because Gu Changfeng finally had a reply.
The successive events during this period of time made Xiahou Che a little helpless for a while.
First, Lao Zhang was seriously injured by Chu Yan, and then the caravan transporting grain had no news, and there was no news at all.
Normally, whenever they went to a place, the caravan would fly eagles and send a message back, but this time there was no news.
Of course, the strangest thing is Sun Chao, the entire mansion was swept away overnight, and there has been no news since, and now even Xiahou Che himself has begun to believe the rumors in the city, thinking that Sun Chao may have really moved away.
He also arranged for people to probe from He Yunge, but it had no effect at all.
Seeing that everything was coming at Xiahou's family, this made Xiahou Che very uneasy, and a strong intuition told him that someone was secretly dealing with Xiahou's family, and this person, nine times out of ten, was his good brother, Chu Yan.
"This is a letter from the top, see for yourself. On this day, Xiahou Ying sat in the study, leaned back in the chair with a gloomy expression, and pointed to a letter on the bookcase.
Xiahou Che hurriedly picked up the letter and read it seriously, but the more he looked at it, the more cold his heart became, and in the end, the letter slipped from his hand and slowly fell to the ground.
When Gu Changfeng received the news from the Xiahou family's flying eagle, he was dumbfounded, with his understanding of Chu Yan, this batch of grain should not even think about it.
Who is Chu Yan, Gu Changfeng knows very well, when the two met for the first time, he had already seen that Chu Yan was not simple.
As for the Xiahou family suffering in the hands of Chu Yan, this is normal, Gu Changfeng can accept it, but what makes him angry is not that the food is gone, but that the Xiahou family actually disobeyed his orders.
Gu Changfeng repeatedly said that to stop all actions in the Yunxiao Pavilion, Chu Yan should not be underestimated, but the Xiahou family actually took his words as a deaf ear, and as a result, it caused such a big loss.
According to Gu Changfeng's calculations, as long as this batch of food and materials arrives, there will be no worries, and he can live and die with the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.
However, a mistake by the Xiahou family almost made Gu Changfeng's entire plan stillborn and had to be redeployed, and it was precisely because of this that both the Heavenly Sword Pavilion and Chu Yan had won valuable time.
"Father, does Shangfeng mean that we should hand over the Cloud Pavilion and hand it over to the envoy?" After a long time, Xiahou Che finally returned to his usual appearance.
"That's what it means, didn't the letter say, let's stop all actions and wait for the envoy to come before making a decision. β
Xiahou Ying looked very decadent, leaned back in the chair and sighed: "It seems that Shangfeng has lost confidence in our Xiahou family. β
"Why, Yunxiao Pavilion was established by our Xiahou family, and just because of a mistake, we had to hand it over, which is too unfair. β
Xiahou Che was suddenly furious, Yunxiao Pavilion was established by the Xiahou family, and they have been working hard for so many years, in Xiahou Che's opinion, just because of a small mistake, it is really unacceptable to ask them to hand over the control of Yunxiao Pavilion.
Seeing this, Xiahou Ying waved her hand: "Let this matter go for a while, and wait for the envoy to come." Now let me ask you, one after another, the spearhead is pointed at our Xiahou family, what do you think of this matter?"
"There are no clear clues yet, but the child has a hunch that this matter is likely to be related to Chu Yan. β
Although Xiahou Che didn't want to admit that Chu Yan had done all these things, but now that the matter was so big that even Yunxiao Pavilion couldn't keep it, he still said what he thought in his heart.
However, to say that Chu Yan did all this, Xiahou Che still had some doubts in his heart.
After all, he had only just come to Jincheng, and there were only a thousand soldiers around him, how could he intercept the caravan transporting grain, and kill everyone, this was simply impossible, there was a god realm and four masters in charge.
Xiahou Che kept frowning, expressed his doubts, and finally said: "Father, did you say that Shangfeng made a mistake, maybe this batch of grain is still on the way, but for some reasons, there is no news for the time being." β
"Have you ever seen Marshal Gu make a mistake in judgment?" Xiahou Ying smiled bitterly: "Moreover, do you believe this yourself?"
At this moment, Xiahou Che was stunned by the question.
To be honest, even he wasn't sure about that.
Besides, what can there be, there is not even time for the flying eagle to send a message, but just because of this, he handed over the Yunxiao Pavilion, Xiahou Che is a hundred reluctant, which is related to the status of the Xiahou family in the north.
What is the reason for coming out and working hard, isn't it just for the family to prosper forever and be a head above them in front of other big families, or who wants to come out and suffer this crime, isn't this full of food.
Three days later, Xiahou's house put up lights and cleaned the courtyard, because according to Gu Changfengxin, the envoy will come to Jincheng today.
Although Xiahou Che was very reluctant for him to come, and even thought of sending someone to kill the envoy halfway, but he was afraid that Gu Changfeng would find out, so he had to give up in the end.
The necessary faΓ§ade work is still done, even if you want to exclude him, you have to do things in secret, and you still have to be justified in terms of face, after all, everyone is working for the Gu family.
"This official, may I ask if this is the Sect Master's Mansion?"
The two soldiers standing at the door saw a handsome and dashing young man with an extraordinary bearing, and they were looking at them with a smile at this time.
"Below is the deceased of the Chu sect master, and the two officials are tired of talking to each other. β
After some twists and turns, the young man finally entered the mansion and sat in the hall drinking tea.
After a while, I saw Chu Yan walking quickly to the hall, and when he saw him leisurely sipping a cup of tea, he couldn't help but be stunned, stunned in place, and even forgot to speak.
"Why, Gongzi Chu is now the head of a sect, and he doesn't even know his old friend?" The young man smiled indifferently when he saw this: "Or did Gongzi Chu not expect that it would be my old friend to visit today?"
"This ......"
After a while, Chu Yan finally returned to his usual appearance, smiled awkwardly, and walked over.
He never dreamed that it was none other than his good classmate, Kanaichi.
Back then, in the Fighting Soul Continent, Chu Yan wiped out Liufei Yue in one fell swoop, and Kanaichi was the only living person in the royal family of the Three Kingdoms.
For Chu Yan, Shen Nai hated him to the core, destroying the country and killing his father, and tortured him to death every moment.
But he didn't lose his mind, whether it was cultivation or strength, he was no longer Chu Yan's opponent, which made Shen Naichi even more desperate.
So due to fate, Kanaichi got acquainted with the people of the Gu family, and followed them out of the Fighting Spirit Continent and came to the Nine Heavens Continent.
Gu Changfeng saw that he was magnificent, had some talent, and knew Chu Yan very well, so he kept him by his side. Now that the Xiahou family has suffered repeated setbacks, Gu Changfeng has no choice but to send Shennai to Jincheng to take over Yunxiao Pavilion.
"Young Master Chu doesn't have to blame himself, in the final analysis, he can't blame you for this matter. Seeing that Chu Yan didn't speak, Kannai was the first to speak.
"At the beginning, my father was also a ghost, and he wanted to rely on the strength of the Demon Domain to dominate the Yanhuang Ancient Kingdom, but in the end, he ended up ruining the country. β
Seeing that Kanaichi seemed to have really forgotten all the previous things, Chu Yan didn't believe it at all, but when people talked about this, he couldn't hold on to it, so he smiled slightly: "You're polite, it's just that you suddenly visited today, I don't know what the so-called thing is?"
"Young Master Chu Yan is really still so straightforward, I really admire it. β
Kanaichi kept staring at Chu Yan for a long time, and he didn't speak anymore, not knowing what to think.
Suddenly, this guy actually stood up and arched his hand: "Okay, I've already seen Gongzi Chu today, and I still have important things to do, so I won't bother, we'll have a date later." β
After speaking, the person had already stepped out of the hall, confusing Chu Yan.
But since the people are leaving, he can't force him to stay, so he can only watch the figure of Kanaichi leave.
For a long time, Chu Yan had been sitting in the hall, guessing the purpose of Kanaichi's visit today.
He felt that Kanaichi had changed a lot during this time, and he seemed to be a lot more introverted, and he was no longer the arrogant boy he was back then.
Although he hadn't guessed the purpose of his trip yet, Chu Yan was sure that the sudden appearance of Kanaichi would definitely not be here to be friends with him.
Suddenly there was an opponent like this around him, and it was an eventful time, Chu Yan was a little worried.
As soon as Kanna left the lord's mansion, he walked around the golden castle for a leisurely afternoon, until ten in the evening, when he came to a tavern and met an old man.
"Your Excellency, the old man has already inquired clearly, and in the recent past, only the Manchun Garden opposite, and the shops on the entire street have just opened, and the boss behind the scenes seems to be the same person. β
As soon as he sat down, the old man couldn't wait to open his mouth.
Kannai smiled and nodded, already knowing it in his heart, but he didn't say anything, but simply ate something and walked towards the Xiahou family's mansion.
"Young master, the head of the family invites you to come over. β
At this time, Xiahou Che was sitting in the room sulking, and he had been waiting all day today, but he didn't even see the shadow of the envoy, and he didn't want to greet any bullshit envoys, so he was not angry.
"Got it. β
Answering angrily, Xiahou Che went out of the door, walked out, and just came to the study, he saw his father sitting there with a smile on his face, talking to an old man and a young man. (To be continued.) )
