Chapter 129: Leaving the Palace
A look of surprise appeared on the old man's face. He stammered, "Can Sir really do this?"
Chen Jue nodded.
The old man's gaze was heavy and sad. He looked at Chen Jue fixedly. Softly said, "I promise you." Anyway, without your presence, we won't be able to get back my family's heirloom. ”
Chen Jue took out twelve gold coins and handed them to the old man. and took another pawn ticket handed to him by the old man.
Chen Jue and Chen Ying stood up. "Let's leave first," he said. We'll have a message for you tomorrow morning. He said. The two walked to the wooden door.
Then. There was a cacophony outside, and people were walking towards it. At the same time, an old voice shouted outside: "Old man Li." I'm afraid your son won't be able to. Open the door. ”
The old man hurriedly ran over and opened the door. Outside were four or five young offspring and an old man. They are all neighbors of Li Yi's family.
Look covered in blood. The son who has no breath anymore. Li Laohan fainted suddenly.
Chen Jue held the old man. beckoned the juniors to carry Li Yi to the bed.
Chen Jue said thank you. Then he asked the old man who was shouting outside the door, "Old man." What's going on?"
The old man replied a little dazedly, "I don't know either." Just now I saw him lying on the edge of the alley. He beckoned a few of his descendants to carry him back here. ”
Chen Jue nodded. Send a few people away. I looked at the old man who had fainted. The old man is fine. It's just a rush to the heart. Chen Jie's wisp of emptiness quickly cleared the obstacle for Li Laohan.
The old man woke up in a moment. Gaze blankly. A few breaths later. Large tears welled up in his eyes.
Chen Jue comforted: "Old man, don't worry. Your son will be fine. ”
The old man looked at Chen Jue with some disbelief. Chen Ying's eyes also showed a hint of suspicion. She gently tugged at the corner of Chen Jie's clothes. asked Chen Jue in a low voice: "He is obviously dead." Why do you still say he's okay. Don't brag at this time. ”
Chen Jue pouted. whispered: "I said beautiful sister." I don't want to insult the professional vision is good or not. This is a big blow to my confidence. He said. His old god walked to Li Yi's side on the ground.
He looked at Li Yi's physical condition. There are scars all over the body. It's just a lot of blood loss. But in Chen Jie's hands. It's a life that is alive and kicking.
Just ten minutes of busyness. Chen Jue stopped his hand, stood up, and winked at Chen Ying. said: "Little girl." Looks like you're going to have to apologize to me today. I was a good boy with a lot of self-esteem. I can't stand your skepticism. I feel hurt now. How do you think you can make up for the damage you have done to me? Don't my wounded soul need to be soothed? I need you to take concrete action to heal my scarred soul?"
Chen Ying had a splitting headache. She now felt that this was a complete scoundrel, a master who would not be ignored. A person who never loses, only cheap. A demon king of the mixed world who is proficient in all kinds of black belly arts. Today, I didn't blackmail him into anything. Anyway, his first kiss. First hug. The first time the spring was discharged, and the first time I was eaten tofu, all of them were taken up by this man. Now she doesn't know what else to give to this shameless man. Except for that real first time. She suspected that if she really gave it to this man, she might not dare to ask for it. A guy who only intimidates people.
looked at Chen Ying's shocked and uncertain look. Chen Jue smiled. Straightforwardly ended this girl's crankiness. He said directly: "Your first night is too precious. I don't dare ask for it. Then you can help me wash my stinky socks for a week. ”
Chen Ying glared at Chen Jue fiercely with red eyes. He lowered his head and pondered silently. This man is not a gentleman at all. Just know to bully us. He was so polite to ordinary people he didn't know. She doesn't know why?
But I'm much luckier than the Xia Hua who loves to wear red clothes and is willing to wash this man's stinky socks for a lifetime in order to get the opportunity to come out with this man this time. Thinking of this, her mind was balanced. Perhaps this sin is a blessing in the eyes of some people.
But I've been with Chen Jue for a long time. She also knows that she still benefits a lot. When he exploited others again and again, she could also get some benefits from it. Sometimes, though, she feels aggrieved. This man is blackmailing others, but he also does not forget to blackmail himself.
But this trip to the palace. It should still be possible to make money. If this time her sky-breaking power can break through. Then this time she will make a lot of money.
She looked up at the delinquent teenager in a deep thought that resembled an idiot. Her heart was creepy again. It seems that she is definitely not alone in the misfortune this time. Maybe she'll be a good end beneficiary this time. Thinking of it, a faint anticipation welled up in her heart. At the same time, a deep sense of guilt rose in her heart. How have you been with this person for a long time. Suddenly he became a mercenary villain. own ideals. His beliefs were suddenly thrown out of the clouds.
Thinking of this, a wordless sadness arose in her fragile heart. It's as if a widow who has been guarding an empty house all her life was raped when the government was about to set up a chastity archway for her. Her heart was so violently unhappy.
Then. Chen Jue ended his terrifying thoughts. Stand up. glanced at the little vixen who was in a fluctuating mood. "I'm going to rob tonight, and if you're willing to go, I'll give you a tenth of the proceeds as funds for your Dark Light's activities." If you don't want to. I won't force it. ”
Chen Ying stood up without a little hesitation. followed Chen Jue out of the door.
Thirty kilometers to the west. That's where the palace is. It's an epic colony. A vast architectural handiwork. Ingenious design. Exquisite and perfect construction.
It was a huge and splendid palace complex, and Chen never imagined that he could see the limits of human luxury here. The palace group covering 500 miles is frozen and folded in the west. Accommodating the east and west rivers in it. The palace wall is like a forest, five steps and a court, and ten steps and a pavilion. The corridor waist is back, and the eaves teeth are pecked high;
Chen Jue then looked at the palace complex building in one of the corners of the famous Great Thousand Mountains. The majestic mountains and the dense buildings of the palace each hug the terrain and fight each other. Winding from west to east, I don't know how many thousands of miles. Among them, the song platform is warm and the spring light is melting, and the dance hall is cold sleeves, and the wind and rain are miserable. This is the world of one side independent and huge.
Chen Jue stood in front of the gate of the palace, a little distracted, he didn't know if this was the crystallization of human wisdom or a display of sin?
Xiao Nizi Chen Ying opened her mouth. Stared blankly at the place known as the Imperial Palace. It would have been difficult for her intellect to know what that meant. All she could think of was the nature of a wicked capitalist. This is a bloody history of exploitation and oppression.
Under Chen Jie's extreme vision. He searched every inch of the land with great urgency. This labyrinth of buildings in general. Ordinary people walk in. I'm afraid I'll never try to get out on my own.
In the middle of the night. The two of them stood in silence for an hour. Chen Jue finally found the room where Li Yi's wife was. It was a luxuriously decorated room of only 100 square meters. Extravagant and arrogant golden yellow decorative tone. With the simple dress of Li Yi's daughter-in-law's small family jasper, it makes this place look nondescript.
At the same time, Chen Jue also found thirteen places to store gold coins and jewelry. Of course, the results can be imagined.
An hour later. When Chen Ying carried Li Yi's daughter-in-law on her back and panted and followed behind Chen Jie. Her heart is still full of sweetness. This time, according to the agreement, she could get a tenth of the wealth. It was a huge number she had never seen before. It was so terrifying that she couldn't stand it. With her IQ and fingers, she could barely make out what the numbers meant to her. She just thinks it's a lot more down-to-earth. She's just stupidly happy.
This image is in Chen Jie's eyes. It surprised him almost to the point of depression. This is the former high-ranking woman I knew? This is the idealist I knew?
Back at Li Yi's residence, it was touching again. A touching picture of a reunion after a long absence. The little girl Chen Ying cried with others there.
Chen Jue hid in the small bathroom and spit out the fog. The authentic Guwana cigar keeps him awake and sane at all times. It also made him feel a moderate amount of excitement and passion.
That night, Li Yi's family quietly left here. Go to the border of the Manu Province of the Empire of the Great Fall.
Early the next morning. Chen Jue and Chen Ying set off to the north to continue their progress.
After the fifth day, they arrived at the largest southern city of the Rus' Empire, the city of Geelong. There are huge, convenient and complete air traffic facilities here. Access to any major city on the continent, with the exception of the Closed Empire of the Great Showdown.
Walked into the airport and bought a ticket. There are two hours left to board. Chen Jue and the two walked into a coffee shop in the airport.
As soon as I sat down, I heard people talking about what had happened in the past two days.
Chen Jue and Chen Ying both pricked up their ears. Thieves. Everyone with a ghost listened to the people's discussions:
"Do you know that the Great Duel Empire is going to war with our Rus Empire?"
"Yes. I've heard about it too. Why did that Empire of Decisive Decisions just issue the Declaration of Peace? In the blink of an eye, we're going to fight against each other?"
"You don't know the truth yet, do you?"
"I don't know, tell me. What's going on?"
"I heard that the daughter-in-law of a distant cousin of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor of the Empire of the Great Decisive Empire was captured and taken to the palace. He went to the government to comment. He was beaten to death. I heard that the people in their protocol department have given an ultimatum to the Great Empire. Within three days, the compensation of the Great Duel Empire is one trillion gold coins. Otherwise it means war and conquest. ”
"You. You. You're talking about a trillion gold coins? That's all our treasury reserves. How can we agree to such an unreasonable demand?"
"But they duel the empire and submit relevant evidence to the Star Beast Alliance. and asked the relevant countries of the Star Beast Alliance to also send troops at the same time. ”
"This. This. What should we do? If war breaks out. It's still ordinary people like us who are unlucky. ”
"It seems that this time it is better to hide in other countries first. Wait for the shadow of war to dissipate. Come back again. ”
"I think that's all I can do. ”
"I don't think you need to worry. I don't think war will happen. As long as it is to compensate other countries. Which time has our upper echelons been stingy. So I don't think this battle can be fought. ”
"Hmm. You have a point, too. ”
Hear this. Chen Ying stared at Chen Jue, who had an honest face. There are extremely mixed emotions in the eyes. The man sitting across from him was the man she would never understand. He is so kind and honest to ordinary people. She felt that if the man was penniless, he looked at the people in need. He's really a guy who can use his pants as a way to help others. But he is shameless and despicable to many people, to the point of outrageousness. What a complicated man, and what a charming stinky man. He always has an endless imagination. There's always so much new stuff out there.
At this time, Chen Jue, who was casually sipping bitter coffee, did not look at the little girl. He wouldn't care what the woman was thinking at the moment, and he wasn't interested in satisfying any of her curiosity.
The little girl looked at the serious one with evil eyes. There is a slight melancholy temperament on his face. A handsome man who is not responsible for the dead man. Whispered, "An insatiable miser." A black-hearted capitalist. An unscrupulous vampire. It will definitely be cut by a thousand cuts. Those who go to hell. ”
Chen Jue's ears moved slightly. It didn't seem to have heard anyone cursing him. There was a lightness on his face. With a kind of calmness. He could feel it in this café with few people. The few cuties glanced at him, intentionally or unintentionally.
Chen Ying finished chattering. looked at Chen Jue, who was coquettish. I looked at the passionate and hot eyes of those cuties again. There was an unprovoked rush of anger in her heart. In addition to blackmailing, this big bad guy is to seduce ignorant girls. What's so good about this man? Why do so many women look at him with a look of fascination. I really can't stand these ignorant women.
Then. Chen Ying's eyes widened. Watching the bad man stand up and walk towards a slender stewardess passing by outside the café. She couldn't figure it out, she was thousands of times better than those vulgar pink goblins. Why wouldn't his eyes stay on him for a few more seconds?
"I'm sorry. Excuse me. Can you tell me there is a bookstore?" the man's voice was elegant and magnetic. Extremely standard Rus Chinese.
"Oh. This gentleman. We'd love to help you. The sweet voice of the flight attendant tapped Chen Ying's eardrums one by one.
She stood up abruptly and walked quickly to Chen Jie's side. Take Chen Jie's hand. Said to the flight attendant, "Thank you." My husband loves to read. When you're about to get on a plane, don't forget to buy a few books to read on the plane. Sorry to bother you. ”
"Oh. Nothing. Wife. The flight attendant walked away with a touch of disappointment in her tone.
Chen Jue glared at the troublesome little girl. He threatened in a low voice, "If you want to break through your sky-breaking power, you'd better not bother me." I just love admiring the beautiful scenery along the way. This is the greatest sentiment I have ever had as a poet, and every great traveler has such a dream. You don't want to spoil the scenery, okay? It's no different from a roadblock. ”
Chen Ying pouted and said, "Men always have thousands of reasons to find reasons for their own flowers. I'm accumulating virtue in charity. Don't go and harm those ignorant girls anymore. ”
Chen Jue glared at Chen Ying fiercely. Strode towards the bookstore. Chen Ying followed behind him. I don't know what the reason is. This time it was a successful spoiler. Let her victory suddenly rise to a sacred height. It seemed that she was more happy than the one-tenth of the proceeds from leaving the palace.
When Chen Jue walked into the bookstore, his eyes suddenly lit up again. A blonde with blue eyes. A beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure was sitting on a leather stool in the corner of the bookstore. He looked intently at a hardcover book printed on animal skin.
Chen Jue walked over. Squat down. He asked in a low voice, "May I ask this lady." Do you still have this "Galloping Heart" bookshelves you read? I haven't seen it for a long time. I also like this book of poems by Tiyev. ”
The woman lifted her head. Some of them have many, many stars shining in their eyes.
