Chapter 44: A Secret Contest
After the poisonous wine was blended, Chen Hongru looked proud.
Then, he walked outside the door and called a few maids in.
"You guys bring the wine to the main hall."
"Yes."
According to Chen Hongru's instructions, the maid picked up the tray and was about to leave.
Chen Hongru suddenly pointed to the tray in the hand of one of the maids and instructed, "These two copies are specially prepared by the Great Elder for the Young Master and the Sword Venerable, don't get mixed up." ”
"Yes."
After clarifying the goal, Chen Hongru waited for a smile on the corner of his mouth and watched several maids leave slowly.
And the boy on the roof saw all this in his eyes.
"Huh!" The young man sighed and said to himself casually: "Old Chen Zhong, you actually took some boring jobs for me!" ”
Then, he jumped off the roof......
At night, the lights in the glazed palace are bright.
Several maids carried trays, and Lianbu hurried lightly in the direction of the main hall.
Suddenly, he came out of a corner, and suddenly picked out a person.
The frightened maid cried out "wow".
The tray in his hand also fell.
The flask is about to be knocked over!
Syllable!
One hand caught it steadily.
A young man with a bright smile appeared in front of several maids.
"Chen Qingzhu, it's you again! Do you know that you almost killed me! ”
The maid who was frightened looked at the young man named Chen Qingzhu in front of her angrily.
Obviously, doing this kind of non-six-year-old thing, this Chen Qingzhu has not done it once or twice.
"Eh, sister, don't blame, sister, don't blame."
Chen Qingzhu approached the maid coquettishly.
"I really don't blame me this time, it's that Chen Hongru, he made a mistake for his sisters, so he called me to find my sisters."
"Look!"
As he spoke, Chen Qingzhu took out several exquisite wine jugs from his arms.
The maid at the head was not angry, and snatched the wine jug from Chen Qingzhu's hand.
"You wait for your aunt and grandmother, and I'm cleaning you up when I turn around!"
The maid had changed the flask in the tray, and then left in a huff.
"Sister, walk slowly, it's dark and the road is slippery, be careful to knock it down!"
After the people left, Chen Qingzhu put the two bottles of poisoned wine bottles into his arms, smiled indifferently, whistled and left casually.
However, what he didn't know was that not long after he left, Chen Hongru's figure emerged from the shadows.
"Hmph, Chen Qingzhu, you really look up to me, and you have made such a troublesome person."
Previously, Chen Hongru had always suspected that someone within the Chen family was secretly spying on him.
For this reason, when poisoning this time, he deliberately made a mental eye to see if he could call out the person behind it.
Unexpectedly, he really tried it out.
It's just that this result really made him a little depressed.
This Chen Qingzhu and another Chen Gen are different from ordinary inner disciples, and the surname Chen of the two of them is an impostor.
Originally, it was not the Chen family, but after being taken in by Chen Laogou, due to his excellent qualifications, he was accepted as a closed-door disciple by Chen Laogou and personally trained him.
Thinking of this, Chen Hongru not only had a cold sweat behind him.
Fortunately, I found out in advance, otherwise, I don't know how I died.
However, a question soon arose.
"Old Dog Chen is dead, who else in the current Chen family can send these two people."
Chen Hongru thought and couldn't help but look in the direction of the main hall.
His previous plan was to poison him and then leave.
But now it seems that if you want to know who is behind Chen Qingzhu, you can only venture back and take a look.
……
Main hall.
The hardest drinking game in life is purposeful.
At this point, Chen Muyun and Chen Boyuan have the same idea.
These two.
One waits for the other to confess.
The other thought about how to persuade the other party to drink it when the poisonous wine came.
The scene seems to be peaceful, but in fact, they are all calculating each other.
And as entangled as them, there is also Chen Zhong, who is in charge of serving on the side.
As Chen Laogou's most trusted subordinate in the past, Chen Zhong knew that Chen Bo was fine.
Since Chen Laogou's death, Chen Zhong has been secretly protecting, and Chen Boqing's layer of window paper has not been pierced.
But with Chen Muyun's return, the pressure on his side is increasing.
Not only to watch Jian Zun not have an accident, but also to protect Chen Muyun's safety.
But this Chen Muyun always does things out of common sense, and chatting with Chen Boyuan is even more like a gun.
Chen Zhong was afraid that neither of them would pay attention, and he would start fighting without understanding it.
You must know that there is only Chen Gen in the palace now!
If Chen Boyuan is cornered, it is inevitable that the net will not be broken, and at that time, in case the matter of Jianzun is exposed.
This group of elders in that clan doesn't care about those, they will definitely follow Chen Boyuan all the way to the dark.
That would make things difficult.
Just when he was anxious, a cheap voice suddenly sounded in Chen Zhong's ears.
"Uncle Zhong, are you thinking about me?"
As soon as Chen Zhong turned around, he saw Chen Qingzhu's demeanor.
She glared at him angrily.
Chen Qingzhu was used to it, so he didn't care at all, holding the chicken leg from nowhere in one hand, and while gnawing on it, he told Chen Zhong what had just happened.
"It's all settled."
"Eh, don't worry, I can still make mistakes."
Chen Qingzhu looked confident.
However, his self-confidence didn't last long before he was slapped in the face!
Several maids with wine slowly walked in front of the crowd.
The fifteen-year-old wine prepared by Chen Boyuan before was sent to everyone.
At this time, an impatient elder in front of the wine table opened the lid of the wine jug and sniffed it.
"Hmmm! Sure enough, it's good wine! ”
With a sigh of admiration, everyone's attention was focused on the wine that had just been delivered.
"Hmmm! This aroma is indeed a good wine! ”
"Eh, today we are waiting for Muyun's light, in other words, your uncle will not take out such a good wine and share it with us, Bo Yuan, you say yes."
Chen Shidao was timely and sent a wave of sycophants on the side.
"Where is this Sixth Uncle, isn't it because of the difficulties in the city now, even if there are good things, you have to save some use?"
As he spoke, Chen Boyuan set his eyes on everyone in the venue.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the first time we have gathered since Mu Yun returned to the city, and the third child has met you for the first time after so many years of retreat."
"I propose, let's fill this cup, how?"
The rich aroma of the wine in the cup has already tempted the crowd and ordered them to nod their heads in response.
And Chen Muyun on the side looked at the wine in the cup.
I have to say that it is indeed a good wine, and a rich fragrance spreads as soon as it comes up.
However, before leaving, Zhou Tianfang's words kept lingering in his ears, and he did not forget it.
Under the cover of a smile, Chen Muyun responded to everyone and stretched his wrench into the wine cup.
In the next second, faint ripples appeared in the wine cup.
Poisonous!
Chen Muyun's heart suddenly became nervous.
Before, on the way here, he had been thinking about what way he would use to deal with him if Chen Boyuan was far from showing goodwill.
Unexpectedly, it was actually poisoning.
It's a bit old-fashioned, but it's really good!
I've been drinking again before, and nothing has happened.
If you are someone else, you may have let down your vigilance!
Fortunately, Zhou Tianfang had instructed him before, and Chen Muyun had been on guard all the time!
……
At the same time, what was more nervous than Chen Muyun was Chen Qingzhu who was standing beside Chen Zhong.
After seeing the maids serving wine, Chen Qingzhu realized that something was wrong.
"Uncle Zhong, these maids who serve wine...... I didn't stop down to that batch! ”
"What do you mean?"
Chen Zhong looked at Chen Qingzhu with a stunned expression.
"Uncle Zhong, I'm ...... I may have been tricked by Chen Hongru! ”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Zhong broke out in a cold sweat.
In the blink of an eye, it looks like a banquet.
Chen Muyun held his wine glass, looking like he was about to raise his glass and drink together.
And Chen Bo on the side was hungry and thirsty early in the morning by the smell of wine and temptation.
"Uncle Zhong, what should I do!"
At this moment, Chen Zhong was also very anxious.
If he didn't make a move, Chen Muyun's father and son would probably die on the spot.
But if it is shot, if there is no poison in this wine, the situation will be even more difficult to control!
