Chapter 35: The Code
After listening, Di Tian stopped talking and fell silent. But there was still a faint hint of uneasiness in his heart.
More than half an hour passed like this, and then he suddenly saw a middle-aged man in a green shirt walking in the direction of the two of them. The middle-aged man walked to the small stall where the two Emperor Tian were sitting, glanced at the two Emperor Tian and the others, and then sat down on another empty seat as if nothing had happened.
"Shopkeeper, come to a bowl of Supreme Dragon Beard Noodles!" the middle-aged man said suddenly.
"Supreme Dragon Beard Noodles?" The shopkeeper who set up the stall couldn't help frowning, and said, "Dragon beard noodles are dragon beard noodles, where did you come from, what is the supreme and not supreme?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I've heard that there is such a famous dish in the South China Sea, haven't I?"
The shopkeeper shook his head: "I really haven't heard of this, maybe I'm lonely and unheard." Go to the bigger restaurants and restaurants and ask, maybe someone will really make the supreme dragon beard noodles you are talking about. ”
The middle-aged man seemed slightly disappointed, shook his head, and stood up.
"Alas, it seems that there is indeed no here, so I'd better go and see it elsewhere. ”
With that, he turned and left.
At this time, Di Tian suddenly felt that the second uncle beside him also stood up all of a sudden, only to hear him say: "Xiaotian, settle the bill, we should also go." ”
Di Tian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he still hurried over to settle the account, and then followed.
"Second uncle, why are we following this person, could it be that he was sent by Steward Chen?" Di Tian couldn't help but ask.
I saw Di Chonghai's calm face, and his tone suddenly became a lot more serious, and said: "I don't know, it stands to reason that Steward Chen received the message I left, and then he came here to see me." But right now, it turned out to be this person, and he said something like the Supreme Dragon Beard Noodles, which was obviously what I said when I was a kid with Steward Chen, and where is there any Supreme Dragon Beard Noodles or something like that. As soon as this person came here, he directly pointed out that he wanted this, I'm afraid most of it has something to do with Steward Chen, let's go along and have a look. ”
Hearing this, Di Tian didn't ask any more, but cautiously followed behind the middle-aged man in green shirts, turned around one street corner after another, and finally arrived in an alley.
Seeing that the middle-aged man seemed to have entered the back door of a courtyard, the two of them hurriedly followed to take a look, the courtyard door was ajar, and the middle-aged man was standing behind the door, constantly waving to the two of them.
"Come in, come in!"
The two of them couldn't help but glance at each other, both feeling a little inexplicable, but after thinking about it, they finally followed in.
Then the middle-aged man poked his head out again, looked outside, and seemed to be sure that there was no one following him, so he closed the courtyard door and walked towards the emperor and the two.
"Your Excellency is the second master of the emperor's family?" the middle-aged man said to the emperor.
Di Chonghai nodded: "I am, who are you?"
But seeing the middle-aged man, he suddenly smiled and said, "Great, I really didn't make a mistake." Come with me, my surname is Chen, this yard is my home, it's safe, don't worry. ”
"Surname Chen?" Di Tian couldn't help but move in his heart, could it be that it had something to do with Steward Chen?
"Who are you Chen Zhusheng?" Di Chonghai suddenly asked.
The middle-aged man who claimed to be surnamed Chen smiled and said, "Back to the second master, the one you said has nothing to do with the next generation. The reason why the two of them came here with them was actually entrusted by their father. Because I had seen the second master earlier, I recognized the second master at that noodle stall. ”
Di Chonghai let out a sigh when he heard this, and he had already guessed that this matter was mostly related to Steward Chen. It's just that I don't know why Steward Chen received the news he left behind, and he couldn't come in person, but called this person over, could it really be that something happened?
Just when Di Chonghai was still wondering, the middle-aged man surnamed Chen had already led the two of them into the courtyard, turned around a corridor, and arrived at an exquisite courtyard full of flowers and plants.
"Buting, have you received someone?" suddenly someone in the courtyard spoke.
At this time, the middle-aged man in the green shirt who led the way in front of him smiled and replied, "Father, the person has already picked it up." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a door open in the courtyard, and a figure slowly walked out of it.
Di Tian looked at the person who came, but couldn't help but be surprised: "How could it be him?"
Di Chonghai on the side couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "What, do you know this old man?"
Di Tian smiled, this person came out, with a white beard and white hair, estimated to be sixty or seventy years old, but his face was indeed ruddy and shiny, and he looked radiant. Although Di Tian only had a one-sided relationship with him, he left a deep impression.
The last time he and Dongfang Dexterous were attacked by the South China Sea, when they escaped from the Shifang Forest Sea, when they went to visit the seriously injured Emgrand, the doctor he saw in the room was the old man in front of him. I remember that at that time, Di Tian secretly asked the doctor for a few wound medicines, and casually promised to take time to come to his medical center.
Who would have thought that after these days, Emperor Tiandu had almost forgotten about this matter, and he would meet this old doctor here again.
"Dr. Chen, I didn't expect to see your old man here again. Di Tian smiled.
When Doctor Chen heard this, he glanced at Di Tian, and seemed to be a little surprised, and said, "Emperor Gongzi, why are you here too." ”
Di Tian shook his head and said with a smile: "It's a long story, I don't know if Dr. Chen asked us to come over, but is there anything important?"
Hearing this, I saw that Dr. Chen nodded, and instructed the middle-aged man who was called Bu Ting standing on the side: "Bu Ting, you go down first and let the people prepare some wine and food, and I want to talk to these two first." ”
Chen Buting nodded and turned to leave.
At this time, Doctor Chen welcomed the two of them into the room, and then took the two of them to a bed, looked at a figure lying on the bed, and suddenly said in a somewhat melancholy tone: "Don't be surprised, the reason why the old man was able to find you was actually entrusted by Zhusheng, so he asked the dog to go and bring the two here." ”
Hearing this, both Emperor Tian couldn't help but look at the person lying on the bed, and were suddenly startled.
"Steward Chen?!Why is he here?"
Di Tian hurriedly walked to the bed, wasn't this person the housekeeper Chen in their house? Why was he lying here covered in wounds?
"Doctor Chen, what's wrong with Uncle Chen, why is he so seriously injured?" Di Tian asked.
Doctor Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, when Zhusheng arrived at me last night, he was already seriously injured. When I asked him why, he just said something and didn't tell me what was wrong. Alas, how can I say that I am also his brother, Zhusheng encountered such a dangerous thing, and he didn't even mention half a word to me. ”
"What, is Steward Chen your brother?" Di Chonghai couldn't help but exclaim.
Doctor Chen smiled and said, "Second Master don't be surprised, Zhusheng is indeed the younger brother of the old and decrepit mother, but it was in turmoil back then, and our family was in decline, and in the end, in desperation, we had to sell the young Zhusheng to the emperor's family." Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, and although Zhusheng has always known about the existence of my brother, there is very little contact between us. It was only a few years ago that after he began to help the Imperial Mansion come to Zhongshu City to take care of some business here, we began to get in touch a little more. ”
Emperor Tian and the others couldn't help but be surprised, all along, they only knew that Steward Chen always looked smiling in front of people, and never mentioned his life experience, presumably no one would know that he still had such a compatriot brother alive.
"Then Doctor Chen, how is Uncle Chen's injury, is it serious?" Di Tian suddenly asked.
Dr. Chen shook his head and said, "The injuries are not serious, most of them are skin injuries, but it is estimated that the injuries were not treated very carefully, so they ran a long distance, which made the bleeding too much and the body was too weak, so he passed out." But I've already treated him this morning, and I guess I'll wake up on his own after a few more hours of sleep. ”
"That's ......"
Obviously, Di Tian was a little anxious to know what was going on now, but Steward Chen had been unconscious, which couldn't help but make him a little anxious in his heart.
Doctor Chen on the side seemed to see Emperor Tian's thoughts, and suddenly said: "Emperor Gongzi, before Zhusheng fell into a coma this morning, he didn't know where to receive the news of the arrival of the two, so he instructed the old man to bring the two here safely." But now he has fallen asleep, but the old man feels that no matter what important things the two of them have to do, it is better to wait for Zhusheng to wake up first. Looking at his nervous appearance today, it seems that he has something very important to tell the two of you. ”
The two of them nodded, knowing that although they were anxious now, there was nothing they could do. Judging from the current situation, they can only wait for Steward Chen to wake up and figure out the specific situation.
......
At the same time, outside Zhongshu City, back to the inside of the villa.
A huge courtyard in the villa was already bustling with hundreds of people at this time.
These people were dressed in different clothes, each holding a sword in their hands, whispering in the field, sometimes paying attention to the movements around them, looking at the guards around them who were uniformly dressed and embroidered with two big characters of the East.
These guards were all members of the Dongfang family, and they were watching from the sidelines at this time, although the cultivators of all the forces who had been invited by the Dongfang family in these fields had been waiting in this courtyard for a long time, and they were already a little impatient, they still forcibly suppressed the restlessness in their hearts, and did not make any trouble.
Among these cultivators, they were faintly divided into more than a dozen groups, and in an extremely inconspicuous corner of the middle, they finally saw the figure of Emperor Chongyang, and at this time, there were more than a dozen people accompanying him.
Suddenly, I saw a shadow jumping towards Di Chongyang, came to Di Chongyang's side, looked at him and asked, "Are you the head of the Emperor family, Di Chongyang?"
Di Chongyang couldn't help but be stunned, saw the person who came, and smiled: "Dongfang girl, it is the emperor, I don't know what the girl is looking for the emperor?"
The beautiful girl who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old turned out to be Dongfang Lingqiao, who had been attacked with Emperor Tian in the South China Sea before, and at this time, she said with a smile: "Emperor Family Master, I didn't want to look for you, I just wanted to ask, why haven't I seen Emperor Tian recently? I went to the Tianyi Pavilion he said to look for it, but there was no one in it." Originally, I was feeling bored these two days, and I wanted to spend some time with him, but who knew that I wouldn't even see a figure. ”
Hearing this, Di Chongyang frowned inadvertently, and then turned to smile and said: "Dongfang girl, Xiao'er was fortunate to come back with the girl that day, although his body was fine, but he was very nervous in his heart, so in order to prevent this kid from going out to make trouble at will, he took him back to his hometown." Wait for that kid to recuperate for a while and be able to reflect on it, and then let him go out. ”
When Dongfang Lingdex heard this, he couldn't help but purse his playful little mouth, looked at Di Chongyang suspiciously, and said, "Are you going to lock him up?" He didn't make any mistakes. ”
Di Chongyang smiled dumbly, that kid really didn't make any mistakes, but he couldn't appear under the noses of the Dongfang family again. For so many years, outsiders had always thought that Emperor Tian was just like the rumors before, a waste who couldn't cultivate. But few people know that in just such a short period of time, this kid's growth rate is very amazing, even Di Chongyang never thought that his son would have such an amazing cultivation talent.
It took less than half a month from opening the flood to opening the second coffin, and if this matter spreads, I am afraid it will cause a lot of shock. And the current situation of the emperor family is not good, if there is any more trouble, it will be even more difficult to end.
Dongfang Lingqiao, this little girl looks extremely simple, she should have no scheming, she just wants to find Tian'er to accompany her to relieve her boredom.
Di Chongyang thought so, and smiled again: "Oriental girl, wait for this matter, the girl can go to the emperor's unscrupulous son." ”
"That's right. Dongfang Dexterous seemed to flash a trace of disappointment, then smiled again, and said, "Okay, I can't go out now anyway, just wait until this time is over." ”
After speaking, Dongfang Lingqiao said goodbye to Di Chongyang, turned around and disappeared into the crowd, and after a while, there was no one.
At this time, Di Chongyang's face suddenly showed a meaningful smile, and he only heard him whisper: "This stinky boy, I didn't expect that he could be so popular with girls when he is sullen on weekdays......
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the front of the crowd, and it seemed that someone from the Dongfang family had finally arrived.
Everyone couldn't help but stick their heads out and look ahead.
I saw a group of five or six people, except for three old men in their fifties and sixties, most of the remaining young people were wearing the unified cyan power suit of the Dongfang family, and Dongfang Dexterity was also among them.
The three old men who walked in front first, Di Chongyang didn't fully know them, but he only knew that one of them was the Elder Tong who invited them here a few days ago, while the other two were restrained and calm. Even in front of Elder Tong, he was arrogant, and his identity in the Dongfang family must be extraordinary.
As soon as this group of people from the Dongfang family appeared, the courtyard, which was still a little noisy, suddenly became quiet.
I saw that the three elders of the Dongfang family walked to a high platform in the courtyard, looked at everyone, and then Elder Tong looked at the two elders beside him, and after getting the nod of the second elder, he stepped forward and said to everyone: "Everyone, you can come at the invitation of my Dongfang family, and thank you here." I think you all know the purpose of inviting you to come here. That's right, it was in this Falling Back Mountain Villa that our Oriental family discovered an ancient secret realm......"
As soon as the words arrived here, the crowd couldn't help but exclaim, causing quite a stir.
Most of them were sent by various forces, and except for a few people, most of them did not know the purpose of this trip. At this time, when they heard Elder Tong of the Dongfang family say something, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.
The four words of this ancient secret realm are like a calm lake falling into a boulder, instantly stirring up a thousand waves and spreading out in the crowd.
Seeing that the crowd was full of excitement and excitement, Elder Tong seemed to smile with a little satisfaction, then raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "Originally, a secret treasure like the Ancient Secret Realm was originally a godsend, and it should never be the private property of anyone or any party. Therefore, I, the Oriental Family, have decided to announce this news to you, and invite you here, and then explore this secret realm together. And before that, I can want you to assure you, but after entering this secret realm. No matter what secret treasures there are, whether it is the ancient cultivation cheats, or what peerless divine weapons they are, each of you has their own chances, and those who are capable can get it, my Dongfang family will definitely not say a word......"
Before the words fell, another burst of cheers broke out among the crowd, obviously very excited.
