Chapter 39: Before the Storm

Following.

The Chen family's mansion.

Still in front of the withered ginkgo tree, Chen Muyun stood under the tree thoughtfully.

Tomorrow is the day of the banquet, but there is no news from the Liuli Palace.

Although Chen Boyuan does not have as many people in his hands now, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is still not to be underestimated.

Moreover, according to the clues provided by the mysterious person before, Chen Hongru went out of the city to meet the Shen He brothers.

Although I don't know what the purpose is, it's definitely not good for me when I think about it.

In this way, Chen Muyun's already weak force in his hands needs to guard against both forces inside and outside the city at the same time.

For this reason, intelligence has become the top priority of the moment.

"Young master!"

Zhou Tianfang didn't know when he appeared by his side.

"Any news?"

"Yes, there's news from Chen Xian's side."

Zhou Tianfang handed over the information passed on to Chen Muyun.

According to what was said in the intelligence, there was no movement in the Liuli Palace at the moment, the Great Elder was doing his best to handle the affairs of the banquet, and the tasks received by the inner disciples were only some normal precautionary tasks.

Judging from the intelligence alone, this Chen Boyuan seems to really want to reconcile with Chen Muyun!

However, Chen Muyun is not so naΓ―ve.

According to Chen Muyun's understanding of Chen Boyuan, although the other party is stupid, he is by no means a master who easily admits defeat.

"Young master, there is one more thing."

"Speak."

"Chen Hongru has entered the city."

Chen Muyun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled indifferently.

"I'll just say, it can't be that simple."

I chose to go back to the city the day before the banquet, thinking that I had brought back some news from the Shen brothers, and I needed to know with Chen Boyuan.

In this way, Chen Muyun also knows how to deal with it next.

"Boss Zhou, you go and inform Xu Changgeng that all the gates of Liuli City will be closed tonight, and no one will be allowed to open the city gates without my order, and then from the newly recruited people, send some more to each city gate to strengthen vigilance."

"All the secret passages in the city, let Chen Gong, Chen Zhao, Chen Qizhe and the three of them take the rest of the people to strictly guard them, but if anyone wants to enter the city through the secret passages, they will be killed!"

"Also, don't go to the banquet with me tomorrow, you stay here and direct them."

"Young master, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

Zhou Tianfang was a little worried.

"All the people stay outside, once there is any emergency in the Liuli Palace, the safety of the people ......"

"Don't worry about this, isn't Chen Xian also in the Liuli Palace, not to mention, isn't there still a sword venerable suppression array."

"That being said, but ......"

Chen Muyun waved his hand.

"As long as you are outside, even if Chen Boyuan wants to touch me, he won't dare."

Seeing that Chen Muyun was so determined, Zhou Tianfang couldn't say anything.

In fact, Chen Muyun did not fail to take this into account.

Leaving people outside is more to guard against the people on the side of Shen He.

As long as there is no chaos in the city, according to Chen Boyuan's timid character, the fewer people he brings, the more suspicious the other party will be.

That way, he's safe.

……

Inside the Glass Palace.

Butler Chen Zhong is urging his subordinates to be busy at the moment.

At this moment, a man with a high ponytail and a delicate face walked up to him and whispered a few words.

Chen Zhong's brows tightened, as if he had heard something bad.

"I see, you go down first."

After the man left, Chen Zhong came to the kitchen in the palace.

At this moment, Chen Hongru, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly appeared in the kitchen of the palace, chatting with the chef who was preparing the dishes.

"Yo, Uncle Zhong."

At this time, Chen Hongru suddenly noticed Chen Zhong outside the door.

"What are you doing here?"

Chen Zhong asked without changing his face.

"Eat, I haven't had so much food in the palace for a long time." Chen Hongru picked up a piece of beef and waved it to Chen Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, don't say it, this chef's skills are really good." ”

Chen Zhong ignored his interruptions.

"The Great Elder has been looking for you, do you still have the leisure to be here?"

"Ah, yes."

Chen Hongru pretended to be surprised.

"Then I'll go see him."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran out.

Chen Zhong glared at the cook angrily, and then left.

Inside the Gathering Hall.

The date of the banquet was approaching, but Chen Boyuan was getting more and more anxious.

"Great Elder, Chen Hongru asks to see you."

"Let him in."

After a while, Chen Hongru came to the front and bowed.

"Great Elder, I heard that you are looking for me."

Hearing this, Chen Boyuan exhaled heavily, then waved his hand and motioned for the others to stand back.

After everyone left, he asked.

"The thing...... How's it going? ”

Chen Hongru looked left and right, smiled strangely when he saw no one, leaned over to Chen Boyuan's side, and took out a small medicine bottle from his arms

"Back to the Great Elder, it's already done."

Chen Boyuan took the medicine bottle, his face still a little hesitant.

"Do you think this really works?"

"Great Elder, please rest assured, I got this medicine from a master, let alone Jian Zun, even if an immortal is alive, as long as he takes this medicine, he will not escape death."

"Could it be...... Is there no other way? ”

At this time, Chen Boyuan was still hesitant, and he still thought that he could use other methods to solve it.
