Chapter 17: Su Yan

Looking at the shopkeeper Chen's surprised and happy face, Di Tian couldn't help but smile and said: "Uncle Chen, don't look at it, I have indeed opened a coffin, and I have already opened the flood." As for the Torture Mountain Tiger, he is indeed dead, but you don't have to look at me like that, as far as I have just opened the Flood Wilderness, I am not enough to be his opponent. The person who killed the Torture Mountain Tiger was Old Xu, and it was his old man who took us to Zhongshu City safely. ”

After receiving Di Tian's affirmative reply, Shopkeeper Chen was immediately full of joy, and he seemed to be even happier than when Di Tian found out that he could cultivate, and his emotions could not be hidden. Suddenly, Di Tian found that his eyes were red, and his voice became a little choked: "Great, the young master has finally opened a coffin, and he can cultivate, great, it's really good, he ...... the family, the head of the family."

Shopkeeper Chen was already so happy that he couldn't speak incoherently, just holding Di Tian's shoulders and smiling with joy on his face with tears in his eyes.

Emperor Tian knew in his heart that in fact, for so many years, their emperor family had worked hard for his affairs. At the beginning, my father went around to seek treatment from a master outside, and most of these things were taken care of by the shopkeeper Chen. It can be said that Shopkeeper Chen, like Di Tian, has experienced hopes and disappointments again and again, and he is about to fall into despair about his cultivation. However, after a few days, Emperor Tian suddenly appeared in front of him with a flood of wilderness, how could this not make him excited.

At this time, Shopkeeper Chen seemed to suddenly think of something, looked at Di Tian with his eyes, and asked a little excitedly: "What did you say just now, young master?

Di Tian couldn't help but smile when he looked at Shopkeeper Chen's excited look, in fact, he could understand this. When I first heard that Xu Lao was willing to come with them, didn't I be able to hide the joy in my heart. At that moment, Di Tian nodded and said, "Yes, my mother originally refused to let me come to Zhongshu City, until I invited Xu Lao later, so I was let over." The encounter with Xingshan Tiger and others at Sandaokou was also thanks to Xu Lao's action, otherwise, I am afraid that our group would really not be able to come to Zhongshu City safely. ”

Who knew that at this time, the shopkeeper Chen heard the news, and said with a burst of joy: "Great, with Xu Lao's words, we have added a lot of help now." Young master, old man Xu, take me to meet his old man. Then we went to the head of the house together. If the head of the family learns that the young master has opened up the flood wilderness, and has received Elder Xu to help, he will definitely be very happy. ”

Seeing the appearance of Shopkeeper Chen, Di Tian could roughly understand his current feelings. After all, at this time, the situation of the Emperor family in Zhongshu City can be described as extremely bad, and suddenly there is the good news that Emperor Tian can already cultivate, and there is another unfathomable Xu Lao to come to help, how can people not be emotional.

Di Tian smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, Elder Xu is in the carriage with me. You pulled me up in such a hurry just now, and you didn't have time to explain. But if you want to come to Emgrand below, you should be able to make arrangements. ”

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Chen slapped his forehead suddenly, and said with some annoyance: "Look at my temperament, I am in a hurry, and I didn't even ask clearly." I knew that Xu Lao was coming with the young master, and the old slave was bound to go and meet first. ”

Di Tian smiled: "This is not in a hurry, let's call Xu Lao later, let's go to my father's place together." By the way, Uncle Chen, how is my second uncle's injury, it's not serious, right?"

Shopkeeper Chen shook his head and said, "It's not serious, but fortunately, the head of the family was present at the time, and he restrained the two masters of the Cave Heaven and Earth, although the second master was a little injured, it was not very serious." I think that the master of the family has dealt with it almost now, or the old slave will take the young master over. ”

Di Tian nodded in response, and then the two went downstairs, found the hill, and asked that Dihao had taken Xu Lao and others to the backyard of the restaurant, and then walked to the backyard together.

This sea cucumber building occupies a huge area, in addition to a four-story restaurant for entertaining guests, there is also a huge courtyard at the back. In the past, when the emperor or the emperor's family came, they generally lived in the Tianyi Pavilion in the backyard. And although Xu Lao is not a member of the emperor's family, because of his special status, even if the emperor does not get an explanation, he has to advocate to welcome Xu Lao into Tianyi Pavilion.

When Di Tian and the others arrived at Tianyi Pavilion, they saw Di Hao who was waiting in the courtyard at a glance, and Di Tian immediately stepped forward and asked, "Di Hao, how is Old Xu, have you made arrangements?"

Emio hurriedly replied: "Young Master, you were in too much of a hurry with Steward Chen just now, so I had no choice but to make an initiative to arrange for Xu Lao to live in the east wing of Tianyi Pavilion. ”

Di Tian nodded and smiled: "Very good, thanks to you, we can't snub Old Xu." By the way, his old man is now in the house, you can go in and report it, and say that we want to invite him to come with him to meet my father first. ”

Hearing this, Emgrand suddenly showed a somewhat embarrassed look, thought about it, and finally said: "But young master, Elder Xu has already explained in advance just now, his old man doesn't like noise, now he just needs a quiet place to rest, let's not disturb him casually." Old Xu also said, if you really encounter any trouble, young master, when his old man should appear, he will naturally appear. ”

Di Tian listened, and had to smile helplessly, this Xu Lao's temper has always been so weird, he has always done his own thing, if it weren't for his mother's appearance, I'm afraid no one would be able to invite him.

After thinking about it, Di Tian felt that there was nothing particularly important at the moment, so he decided not to disturb Xu Lao for the time being, but told Di Hao and others to treat Xu Lao well, and then walked to another courtyard with Chen Shopkeeper.

That's where Di Chongyang lived, the West Wing.

As soon as he came to the west wing, Di Tian saw the courtyard guarding several emperors, and Di Tian saw that those people were often following his father on weekdays, and they were his father's cronies. Seeing that they were all on alert, Di Tian couldn't help frowning, although his father had always had an entourage with him, but it was really the first time he had seen such a big battle as today.

The guards guarding in front of the east wing saw the arrival of Di Tian and Shopkeeper Chen, and one of them immediately came up and saluted, "Young Master, why did you come here?"

Di Tian looked at this middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a burly figure, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Wang, why are you the same as Uncle Chen, ask this sentence as soon as you see me." Is it really so strange that I came to Zhongshu City, or is it that you don't welcome me so much, Brother Wang?"

Emperor Tian said this sentence naturally just jokingly, but the big man who was called Brother Wang couldn't help but look embarrassed when he heard this, and said embarrassedly: "That, that, young master, I didn't mean that......"

Di Tian didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Okay, Brother Wang, it's just a joke with you, don't be so nervous." This time, such a big thing happened in Zhongshu City, and I came here for this purpose. Father, is he in the house now, what's going on?"

This brother Wang has been by the side of Emperor Tian's father for decades and has always been his father's most trusted confidant. And Emperor Tian is also more familiar with him on weekdays, knowing that although this brother Wang is strong, he is too loyal and honest, so he likes to joke with him the most on weekdays. But fortunately, Brother Wang has a generous temperament, and he doesn't care about all kinds of jokes about Emperor Tian, at most, he just laughs it off, and never takes it to heart.

Brother Wang smiled innocently and said, "The head of the family is now discussing things with the second master in the hall, if the young master has something, I will go and report to the head of the family?"

Di Tian nodded, this father of his has always acted in a strict style, even Di Tian, without permission, if he trespasses, he will have to be severely criticized. Seeing that Brother Wang entered the courtyard, Di Tian glanced at Steward Chen beside him, and said with a slight smile: "It seems that the second uncle's injury should be fine, by the way, Uncle Chen, take advantage of this time, you can give me a general introduction to the current situation in Zhongshu City, and I will have a number when I meet my father." ”

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Chen nodded and smiled: "It seems that the young master has really grown up, you have never paid attention to these things before, and now you will take the initiative to understand the situation, if the head of the family knows, he must be very pleased." ”

Di Tian smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, Uncle Chen, don't praise me anymore." In the past, I didn't like to pay much attention to our family's business affairs, but now it's different, and although I haven't fully figured out the current situation, I probably feel that this time it's not easy, and I can't stay out of it. ”

"Well, too. In this case, the old slave will roughly tell the young master some of the situations in Zhongshu City in recent days. Let's not talk about it for a long time, let's talk about the current matter first, in fact, a few days ago, the second master, who had been in Zhongshu City, suddenly came to Qingzhou, saying that a group of unidentified people attacked our emperor's fleet, causing a lot of losses. As soon as the head of the family heard the news, he immediately felt the seriousness of the matter. You must know that our imperial family's fleet is heavily guarded on weekdays, and it is difficult for ordinary people to approach. Yet those men were able to burn down almost all of our fleet in a single fire without us even noticing. And judging from the criminal methods of those people, it is obvious that they have been carefully arranged and deployed, and everything has been done neatly, leaving no traces, as if overnight, this group of people actually disappeared from Zhongshu City out of thin air. ”

"More than a dozen ships in the entire fleet were destroyed, but we didn't even know who the other party was, which had to attract the attention of the head of the family. Then after the old slave and the others followed the head of the family to Zhongshu City, they found that the seriousness of the situation was far beyond our expectations. At present, not only our imperial fleet has been destroyed, but even other businesses have suffered varying degrees of losses. Cloth village, grain store, and restaurant, etc., today the young master should also see it, if it is placed in normal times, when is the sea cucumber building we add is not full of guests. Now, however, few people have come to the door for several days. And that's not all, those merchants who had close contacts with our emperor in the past now seem to have a unified opinion, and they all cut off business with our emperor at the same time. Now that there is no market for cloth and grain stores, and there are no customers for restaurants, our emperor's business can really be said to have reached a critical juncture of life and death. ”

Hearing this, Di Tian also looked solemn.

It seemed that the situation was much more serious than he expected, although the shopkeeper Chen did not explain the matter in detail, but Di Tian still felt a strong taste of conspiracy from these words. This is clearly someone targeting their emperor's family!

Shopkeeper Chen was just about to say something, but at this time, Brother Wang had already walked out again and said to the two: "Young Master, Steward Chen, the head of the family has invited you in." ”

Di Tian nodded, and then did not talk to the shopkeeper Chen any longer, and the two entered the west wing room together.

When he opened the door, Di Tian saw three people sitting in the hall, one of whom was about forty years old, with a resolute square face, and a domineering momentum between his eyebrows. It is the current head of the emperor family - Emperor Chongyang.

When he saw Di Tian and the others coming in, Di Chongyang first glanced at Di Tian with a flat expression, and then he suddenly looked stunned, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Di Tian intently. At the same time, Di Tian also met his eyes, staring at him without any fear.

After a while, Di Chongyang's face suddenly eased, and there was a hint of a smile in his expression, looking at Di Tian, and said with a slight smile: "Tian'er, have you opened up a flood wilderness?"

Hearing this, the other two people present couldn't help but be surprised, and at the same time looked at Di Tian intently.

Di Tian couldn't help but feel embarrassed, the strength of each of the three people present was far above him. Being probed by these people with their divine senses, at this time he seemed to be exposed to people with naked fruits, not to mention how uncomfortable it felt.

Di Tian smiled: "Father, the child has indeed opened the flood yesterday and opened the first layer of coffins. ”

"Haha, it's really, you kid really opened up the wilderness. A man in his thirties sitting on the right side of Di Chongyang suddenly stood up, looked at Di Tian excitedly, and finally looked at Di Chongyang, and said with a smile on his face: "Big brother, what you said in front of me just now was you worried about Xiao Tian's future or something, now you look at it, it's only been a few days, Xiao Tian has already opened the first coffin." Haha......"

This person is Di Tian's second uncle, that is, Di Chongyang's younger brother, Di Chonghai. is different from Di Chongyang's character, this Di Chonghai has always been informal, and he used to like to come to tease the young Emperor Tian for fun. However, although Di Tian looked young at that time, he was actually a human being in two lifetimes, and his psychological age had long exceeded the age of his deeds, so naturally he would not play with him. It is precisely because of this that at that time, it aroused Di Chonghai's playfulness more and more, and he would come to find Di Tian's fun every once in a while, which really made Di Tian feel helpless.

"Second uncle, I heard that you were injured, but now that you can still bounce, it's obviously not a big deal. ”

As soon as Di Tian said this, Di Chonghai's face suddenly turned red, and his expression looked a little embarrassed.

On weekdays, he likes to brag about how powerful he is in front of Di Tian, but who knows that this time he hit the iron plate, but he was also known by Di Tian, this kid, which undoubtedly made him feel a little hurt face. However, this Emperor Chonghai is also a person with a big temperament, and after a short period of embarrassment, he quickly returned to normal, walked over and patted Emperor Tian on the shoulder a few times, and said, "You kid, this is a joke on your second uncle, right? Yesterday it was ...... It was your second uncle and I who didn't pay attention to it, so those guys succeeded in their sneak attack and suffered a little injury, I don't believe you look at it......"

Di Tian smiled, didn't pay attention to him anymore, but looked at Di Chongyang.

Di Chongyang looked at his son, the tenderness in his eyes flashed, the original thing that Di Tian couldn't cultivate was a knot in his heart, at this time, seeing that Di Tian had opened the flood wilderness, although he didn't know the details of this, but Di Chongyang still couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

"Tian'er, I'll talk about other things later, come and introduce this ...... next to you for my father."

Hearing his father's words, Di Tian carefully looked at the person sitting on the other side, it was a young man with a beautiful face, who looked not much different from himself, at most twenty years old. Looking at his red lips and white teeth, his face like a crown of jade, and his gorgeous clothes, I think it should be the children of which ancestors, most of them are extraordinary. Otherwise, his father would not have been so polite to him.

It's just that how Di Tian looks at this young man, he faintly feels that he is a little weird, and he can't tell where he is weird. At this time, he didn't wait for Di Chongyang to finish his introduction, but he saw that the young man suddenly stepped forward, smiled at Di Tianwei, and said, "Emperor Gongzi, hello, I am in Xia Su Yan." I have long heard about the emperor's son, and he is a rare talent among people in the world, but I didn't expect to see it until today, and I am really very lucky. ”

The best among the people?

Di Tian couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, and he was a little secretly unhappy in his heart, he was rumored to be in the mouth of outsiders, I'm afraid there was nothing good about it, it was just something that couldn't be cultivated, and it was a waste. This guy named Su Yan said this in front of him, and he didn't know if it was intentional or unintentional.

But due to etiquette, Di Tian still smiled and said, "Master Su is polite. ”

Then he didn't say anything more.

Seeing him like this, Di Chongyang knew that this kid Di Tian was probably a little unhappy because of what Su Yan said just now. So he smiled and said, "Tian'er, this Su ...... Su Gongzi is an old friend of his father, and seriously speaking, in fact, the two of you still have a great relationship, and you can contact more in the future to enhance some friendship. ”

Hearing this, Di Tian just nodded, he naturally would not refute his father's face in person. Moreover, he also paid attention to this Su Yan just now, and it seemed that he did not have any malicious intent when he said that. After thinking about it, he still said: "This is natural, Su Gongzi, I hope you can give me more advice in the future." ”
