Chapter 122: The Situation of the Chu Family
After eye contact, the three mercenaries no longer insisted on getting out of the way, after all, the four demon bears were not as important as Brother Ye's safety, Chu Hongxiu and Yan Lingfei frowned when they saw this, looked at each other and strode towards the passage, and when they turned the corner, they immediately saw the four bears of Dachun, Chu Hongxiu didn't say a word and directly slashed out with a sword, and the fiery red qi gang attacked the four demon bears close to the ground, and waited for the four big spring bears to react and then use the protection skill, and the qi gang had already swept away from the moment.
The big sword flipped around with his wrist and pointed forward, Chu Hongxiu was about to speak, but when the words reached her throat, she was choked by Shengsheng, and a complaining exclamation suddenly sounded from not far away.
"Ah......h I specially recruited someone to provoke whom, Chu Hongxiu, what kind of son did you send again, the wild beast didn't kill Lao Tzu, and was almost chopped to death by you, Da Chun, come and help me. ”
Ye Chen deeply realized at this moment what it means to drink cold water and stuff his teeth, and finally killed the three desolate giant wolves and made them bruised, but he didn't have time to dig up the desolate crystal corpse but was teleported away, he really didn't even give Ye Chen a scum, he barely adjusted his mentality and dragged his exhaustion and pain back, and just turned the corner and collided with a fiery red qi gang head-on, if it wasn't for the Changhong knife, it would definitely be too late to resist.
As soon as the words fell, Da Chun immediately turned around and ran towards Ye Chen, Da Hua silently retreated a few steps when he saw this, Erchun and Sanchun, you look at me, I look at you, I didn't look at it twice, but it was too fake, and anyone could understand it, however, Chu Hongxiu ignored these, and trotted out with embarrassment and worry, Yan Lingfei followed with anxiety on his face, and the three mercenaries looked at each other and stayed in place and waited.
When Chu Hongxiu and Yan Lingfei came closer, Ye Chen just stood up with the help of Da Chun's bear paws, except for the rest of his chest and back, he was covered with wounds, like a blood gourd, and his sleeves and trouser legs were all grabbed one by one, definitely more beggars than beggars.
"Big sister, are we still teammates? Can we continue our adventures together? Half a point of strength, as long as you add half more strength to ensure that you are split in half, how much hatred is this? ”
Ye Chen's aggrieved hands trembled, his eyes were red and he almost squeezed out tears, the two women were stunned when they saw this, and the next moment, Yan Lingfei covered his mouth and tried to hold back a smile and turned his head, but Chu Hongxiu's face was flushed and extremely embarrassed, and he didn't squeeze out a word for a long time, he was silent for a moment and took out a bottle of silver elixir, took two steps forward and stuffed it into Ye Chen's hand and hurriedly turned sideways.
"People really didn't mean it, how can there be any hatred, thank you for helping me find the patriarch's seal letter, that bottle is silver juice nectar, don't save it, recover from your injuries quickly, I still have something to tell you."
Not facing Ye Chen, Chu Hongxiu naturally had a lot, and said a lot like a cannon, and then stomped his feet embarrassedly and trotted away, Yan Lingfei barely suppressed his smile when he saw this, and when he turned around, he saw Ye Chen covering his feet and grinning with all kinds of teeth, scratching his head for unknown reasons and chasing after Chu Hongxiu, leaving Ye Chen secretly complaining, and the wound on his foot that had just healed was trampled out of blood.
Seeing the two girls running away, Ye Chen cautiously let go of his feet, and when he caught a glimpse of the beast storage bracelet, he immediately remembered the days when the iron eggs were running around, he didn't pay much attention to it before, and now there is no iron egg and soul bracelet to help, it is simply not going well, the former can help Ye Chen recover from his injuries quickly, as long as he is not dead or disabled, he just eats a few more crystal nuclei, as for the latter, the light beast illustrated book is a big arm help.
Far away, if it weren't for the soul bracelet strike, this test would definitely not have been so miserable, when the remaining two giant wolves opened their mouths and pounced, Ye Chen thought that they were going to pounce, but who would have thought that the wolf war beasts would attack with their claws as the main attack, once they landed, the four wolf claws flew up and down, grabbing the Dao Wind Blade and slashing the head and covering the face.
"Alas, I don't know how long I'll have to suffer."
Ye Chen sighed and pulled out the cork, he was really obedient and did not save money, he tilted his head and poured down most of the bottle, smashed it and smashed the mouth without putting away the rest of the medicine, patted Da Chun and signaled to go back.
Silver juice nectar is a second-grade high-grade healing potion, although it is not as good as the third-grade intermediate golden spirit chalcedony, but after most of the bottle is lowered, the wounds all over the body begin to heal slowly, and there is a tingling sensation everywhere, when they come to the three mercenaries, Ye Chen's pale face has recovered three points of blood, after the three of them have a good condolences, Lao Zheng took out a simple cloak and put it on Ye Chen, and then walked back while chatting, and when he turned the corner, he saw that two tents had been erected next to the stone monument, and the two women were standing in front and whispering.
Before sending Ye Chen to the tent, the three mercenaries nodded and went to the other side to rest, and the two women helped him into a tent without waiting for Ye Chen to speak, which was spacious and warm, and the ground was covered with animal skins that were extremely soft, and the three of them sat down one after another.
"Thank you for the potion, tell me something."
Raising his hand to hand out the remaining elixir, Ye Chen opened his mouth by the way, Chu Hongxiu hurriedly waved his hand when he saw this, and then said, "I still have two bottles here, you can keep the rest." ”
Ye Chen was not hypocritical when he heard this, nodded and put away the potion, Chu Hongxiu smiled slightly, took out the small package of animal skin, picked up the exquisite jade pendant and said: "Actually, we launched this expedition mainly for this thing, and we won't hide it from you, this jade pendant is our Chu family's patriarch Yinxin, Ling Fei has already talked about some of the past, do you still want to know something?" ”
Rarely, Chu Hongxiu's voice was very plain and feminine, Ye Chen frowned slightly after hearing this, and said after a while: "I don't want to involve your family affairs, but there are indeed some questions I want to ask about this expedition, of course, if it is inconvenient, I can not answer." ”
As soon as he spoke, Ye Chen paused slightly, and when he saw Chu Hongxiu nodding, he continued to ask: "Your father is the previous patriarch, so why is the map in Chu Mingyang's hands, Zhao Cheng should be the heir of the Zhao family among the seven families, and why did he come together in the first place?" ”
Hearing this, Chu Hongxiu did not hesitate at all, and immediately said: "You already know that the only one who returned at the beginning was Brother Chukong, that is, the famous father, but you don't know that the Chu family did their best in that expedition, and almost all the main family and the elite of the division who were close to my father's age participated, so that when the losses were heavy and the people were panicked, Brother Chu Kong was injured and presided over the overall situation, and the map was in his charge. ”
After telling, Chu Hongxiu continued with a slow breath: "If you want to talk about Zhao Cheng, you have to talk about the cause of this expedition first, originally, Mingyang accompanied me to preside over the hunting conference, but after returning from the Endless Forest, he told me that the map actually reacted, I had asked the location of the ruins, but Brother Chukong never wanted me to take the risk, now I have the opportunity to try, and then I sent a message to Ling Fei, just in time for Zhao Cheng to propose marriage to the Yan family, and the two came together." ”
As soon as the words fell, Yan Lingfei hurriedly nodded in acquiescence, but Ye Chen's brows furrowed even deeper, if Zhao Cheng hadn't turned against him, even if Chu Hongxiu told him this, he wouldn't have the slightest doubt, but the matter had come to this, Ye Chen couldn't help but think boldly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very strange.
"Does Chu Mingyang know that Zhao Cheng will go to the Yan family to propose marriage? Is there any correspondence between the two of them, or between the two families? ”
Suspicious, Ye Chen immediately asked, but as soon as the words came out, he regretted it a little, but he didn't think about it, Chu Hongxiu immediately replied: "Chu Mingyang must know about Zhao Cheng's proposal to marry, and there are often many exchanges such as intelligence or tasks between the seven families, which is not surprising, I also have some doubts about this, I discussed it with Ling Fei just now, but I had no clue, and I couldn't find an entry point at all." ”
This time, Ye Chen nodded silently, according to this, there is really no need to delve into it, and if you encounter it again, you can only be more vigilant, and just about to announce that you have nothing to ask again, you suddenly thought of something, thought about it and asked: "In the end, I have two more questions, if you feel embarrassed, you can not answer." ”
Silenced, Ye Chen didn't wait for half a minute and continued: "Will the Chu family be in charge of the Chu family in the future?" Why are you in such a hurry to retrieve the Patriarch's Seal? ”
According to common sense, this question has involved family sensitivities, but Chu Hongxiu still did not hesitate too much, and said with a little joy: "Our main family has always been a single lineage, grandpa was not less worried about his father's concubine when he was alive, but my father and mother had a deep affection, and they have always resisted it, until there is no return, grandpa died in less than two years, and now the subordinates of the Chu family are very vocal about the succession of Brother Chukong as the patriarch, but the elders of the clan want to be succeeded by me, and Brother Chukong also openly supports me to succeed as the patriarch, I also shirked it on the grounds that the patriarch's seal letter was lost, and I just wanted to get back the seal letter to completely appease my subordinates from all over the country, the Chu family has not been stable in recent years, and it is not appropriate to have no patriarch for a long time. ”
Ye Chen was not surprised by this answer, but this is more revealing, but the words can only be pointed out here, as an outsider, it is useless to talk more, everything must be evidence, thinking of this, Ye Chen nodded and diverted the topic: "I have asked everything that should be asked, and then I will talk about my previous experience and a little personal conjecture, let's analyze and analyze it together." ”
I don't know if the two girls are intentional or unintentional, they all show a lot of concern about what Ye Chen wants to say, no one continues to dwell on the topic of Fang Cai, Ye Chen is just happy to save trouble when he sees this, and hurriedly describes the previous experience 1510, the two women listen to it sometimes excited, sometimes worried, it can be said that they are extremely cooperative, and then they discuss it before yawning and leaving, Ye Chen lay down, pondered for a short time and fell asleep unconsciously.
Seeing the alternation of the sun and the moon, no one knew the exact time, everyone simply slept full, Ye Chen slept even more dimly, and immediately checked the injury after waking up, peeled off the blood scab and left only some red marks, after a simple wipe and then changed his clothes, he walked out of the tent, greeted everyone refreshed, and joined the ranks of gnawing dry food.
"According to the stone tablet, there should be nine tests here, it was yesterday, I have passed one, and it is the highest difficulty, you can take everyone to pass directly, but I think Chu Hongxiu and Yan Lingfei should team up to participate, since it is a test, there must be a reward, try the lowest difficulty first, it should not be difficult."
Ye Chen said the proposal while nibbling on the dry food, the two women immediately looked at each other and smiled when they heard this, and then Chu Hongxiu nodded and motioned for Yan Lingfei to answer, Yan Lingfei's cheeks immediately flushed when he saw this, and he glared back at Chu Hongxiu before replying: "We also have this intention, and we are ready to try it when we are full." ”
