got Chen Muyun's promise, and the stone hanging in Chen Zhong's heart finally landed.

"Young Master, if you have any questions, please ask, Chen Zhongding will know everything."

Chen Muyun bowed his head slightly and asked: "According to my grandfather's character, after my mother's death, he should fully support Chen Bonian, why did he choose Chen Boyuan?" ”

"Actually, the old city lord did think this way before, but after the unexpected death of the third lady, I was assigned by the old city lord to investigate, and I unexpectedly heard a rumor......

"What rumors?"

When Chen Zhong heard this, his face was solemn, "When the third lady died, someone once saw the second elder appear at the scene......

"Just by virtue of this, Chen Bonian's heir is disqualified?"

Although it is related to the cause of death of his biological mother, Chen Muyun is still relatively sober at this moment.

According to what was said before, Tang Wan'er's strength is enough to crush the existence of the North Realm.

In the face of such a terrifying powerhouse, it is not that Chen Muyun looks down on Chen Bonian, if he can really have the strength to kill Tang Wan'er.

I can't live until now!

At this time, Chen Zhong explained: "In fact, as the young master said, although there is a suspicion of appearing at the scene of the third lady's death, it will not deprive him of his inheritance because of this, and the fundamental reason is ...... The second elder's temperament is too much like the old city lord, and he even said that he is more than that, and there is no room for sand in his eyes. ”

"When the Chen family was weak before, there were many small families that had friction with the Chen family, and after the Chen family grew stronger, the second elder found fault and destroyed those small families, which caused a lot of turmoil at that time."

"If it weren't for the fact that the Chen family has a sword honor, it is estimated that the other families would have united a long time ago and destroyed the Chen family, so the old city lord replaced the candidate with a great elder."

Chen Muyun didn't expect that this little-known second elder on weekdays would be such a ruthless character, and he couldn't help but be a little more vigilant in his heart.

"What about you? Why did you conspire with the Second Elder? ”

Faced with the question, Chen Zhong did not answer directly, but raised his head and looked into the distance.

After a long time, I said something in a low voice.

"Don't be afraid of the young master's joke when you say it, because you're afraid of ......"

Chen Muyun frowned slightly, and his face was uncertain.

A man who came over with a lot of wind and waves actually said that he was afraid, which really made him a little unbelievable.

Xu saw that Chen Muyun didn't believe it, and Chen Zhong explained: "The young master doesn't know, I, Chen Gen, and Chen Qingzhu are not members of the Chen family, and our surname Chen is actually a fake surname. ”

"It was when the old city lord led the Chen family to the north of the realm, and I was brought under my command, I originally thought that it would be a blessing to be able to serve the Chen family in this life, but until I ......"

Speaking of this, Chen Zhong suddenly glanced at Chen Muyun, "Until the old city lord asked me to assassinate the young master, you, and ...... with the third master."

"I was very shocked at the time, people say that tigers don't eat children, but the old city lord's decision made me lose my good impression of him for many years, and I lost all ......."

"Although later, let me stop, but at that time, I no longer have the old city lord in my heart, just to keep a secret, I have to kill my own children and grandchildren, what else can he not do with such a person?"

"And at that time, I also already had children and grandchildren, as someone who knows the whole story of the Sword Venerable, do you think the old city lord will spare the lives of my family?"

Speaking of this, Chen Zhong lowered his head and looked gloomy, he once regarded Chen Laogou as an idol and a mentor in his life.

Now, how can this person who is like a teacher and an elder do such a thing that people can't be sad.

"After that, the Second Elder found me and explained his intentions straightforwardly."

"At first, I didn't say yes, but when he mentioned my wife and children in Liu Village, I hesitated...... After much thought, I agreed to his request. ”

Chen Zhong said that the plot is reasonable and the facts are clear, but Chen Muyun still can't figure it out.

"If I'm not mistaken, my grandfather is the strength of the Tianxuan Realm, and if he wants to poison a strong person in this realm, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, right?"

Chen Muyun's words hit the nail on the head, and Chen Zhong suddenly smiled with relief.

"The young master is smart...... It is indeed difficult to deal with the old city lord by ordinary means, but don't forget, I am the housekeeper who has served the Chen family for many years before and after the saddle, and the old city lord's trust in me ......"

Chen Zhong didn't continue, Xu was a little embarrassed by that experience.

It is true that it is indeed not a glorious thing to take advantage of the trust of others and persecute them.

But in Chen Muyun's opinion, Chen Zhong and Chen Laogou are only half a catty and eight taels.

"It's as easy as that?"

Chen Zhong nodded, "The poison that the Second Elder gave me is a very special medicine, mixed with meals and taken, it will not attack quickly, but gradually develop over the years, and by the time the poisoned person reacts, it will basically be the time when the oil runs out." ”

Although the rules of poisoning are clever, what Chen Muyun cares more about is Chen Bonian's patience, in order to achieve his goal, he can endure it for so long.

"There's one more question." Chen Muyun asked, "Why did you tell me the truth of everything so easily?" ”

Chen Zhong smiled bitterly, "Young Master, are you worried about the truth of my words?" ”

"Sort of." Chen Muyun said frankly, "In these years, multiple hearts and eyes are always right. ”

"The young master is really bold." Chen Zhong gave a rare compliment, and then asked for no reason, "Does the young master believe in his fate?" ”

"I don't believe it."

"But I believe it."

Chen Zhong said decisively: "As I said before, I have never missed what the old city lord told me, but that time I ......."

Chen Zhong looked at Chen Muyun with a strange expression, "I clearly remember that the knife had already been stabbed in, and you had no chance of surviving, but the fact is that you have come back to life." ”

"I know that this is a warning from God, and he has given me the opportunity to make amends, so ...... Now I am in front of the young master, and I have no secrets. ”

Chen Muyun never expected that the answer would be so unpretentious.

Just because he witnessed the process after his own crossing, a ruthless killer actually got off the hook.

Eh, it's so impermanent!

"I've said all I know, young master, you'......"

"Eh, eh, ......"

Looking at Chen Zhong's generous and righteous posture, Chen Muyun really couldn't stand it, and raised his hand to stop it.

"Save it, didn't you say it, I didn't plan to kill you."

"Huh?" Chen Zhong's face was incredulous, "Can ...... But I ......."

"What are you, dead people are useless to me, I want living people."

Chen Zhong never dreamed that Chen Muyun would really not kill himself.

This couldn't help but make the remorse in his heart even stronger.

For a moment, I didn't know how to express it.

Suddenly, Chen Zhong realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.

"By the way, young master, I forgot to mention just now, the person who was in charge of the liaison between me and the second elder came before."

"Oh?"

Then, Chen Zhong told Chen Muyun in detail what he had seen with the mysterious man.

Chen Muyun rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

It seems that leaving Chen Zhong behind is indeed the right choice.

He knew the most about the Second Elder, and now the Second Elder's people came to the door again, indicating that they wanted to cooperate again.

And this time, the object is probably himself.
