Chapter 78: The Chen Family Crisis
"Master, Miss has sneaked out of the house again!
In the courtyard deep in Chen's mansion, Chen Limin was practicing with a middle-aged beautiful woman, and a servant hurriedly ran in to report.
Chen Limin hurriedly stopped, didn't even bother to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, grabbed the servant's collar, and shouted: "What's the matter? How can you lose people? You dozen people can't keep up with a little girl?"
The servant's face turned pale from the drunkenness, and he replied tremblingly: "I, I don't know what happened to the road, but I don't know what happened to the road, and the young lady disappeared in a flash." ”
The corners of Chen Limin's mouth twitched slightly, and he almost didn't slap him, but fortunately, the middle-aged beauty beside him spoke in time: "Big brother, it's useless for you to trouble him, the top priority is to find Xi'er." ”
This woman is Chen Limin's biological sister, Chen Lilin, the fourth elder of the Chen family.
Hearing his sister's advice, Chen Limin calmed down a little, but he still waved his hand angrily and asked the servant to hurry down. As if he had been pardoned, the servant hurriedly bowed down and withdrew.
There were only Chen Limin's brothers and sisters left in the courtyard, but his face was not a little better, Chen Lilin couldn't help but be curious: "Big brother, although it is not safe for Xi'er to go out alone, but in this Baoning City, there should not be many people who dare to attack my Chen family, right?"
Chen Limin glanced at her and shook his head slightly. He knew that the implication of his sister was nothing more than that Chen Xi would not be in much danger, and he didn't have to be so nervous, but ......
"It's an extraordinary time!" Chen Limin sighed and said, "My father hasn't been in retreat for ten years, and some people's minds have changed. If my guess is right, if it weren't for Aunt Liao's visit a few days ago, the Jin family would have done it in the past two days!"
"The Jin family, the Jin family in Dongcheng?" Chen Lilin's face suddenly changed, "How could the Jin family target us?"
In Baoning City, the power of Sifang City is not equal, and its Middle East City is the strongest, and the Jin family alone has three foundation building masters. If it weren't for the existence of that person, I'm afraid Baoning City would not have been divided into four, and would have been unified by Dongcheng a long time ago.
It's just that the person who has not been present for many years will always give birth to some ideas.
"I don't know what to do, but judging from recent signs, the Jin family does have this idea. Chen Limin's face was calm, and his voice was very low. He didn't explain this matter to his family at all, but he didn't expect that he couldn't hide it today.
"That Xi'er, she ......" Chen Lilin was also a little panicked, if the Jin family was really ready to start, they would never let go of Chen Xi's opportunity to be alone.
After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Limin seemed to comfort himself, and reluctantly showed a smile and said: "It should be okay, Xi'er has Granny Jia to take care of her in the house, and when she goes out, Granny Jia is not good at going out, and she will be stared at......"
However, before Chen Limin finished speaking, he looked behind Chen Lilin in amazement, and couldn't speak any longer. Chen Lilin turned around in surprise, but saw an old man standing there with a helpless wry smile on his face.
"Uncle Yan...... You lost it too?" Chen Limin looked at the old man with some incredulity. If something hadn't happened, these people wouldn't have appeared in front of him at all, so now that Uncle Yan has appeared, it means ......
"Yes, she went out with Xu Gongzi. Uncle Yan nodded helplessly and said, "That Xu Gongzi is even more terrible than Granny Jia said." He only looked at me from across the street, and I didn't have the courage to keep along. ”
"Xu Gongzi. Chen Limin muttered the name, and only said after a while, "It turns out that he is really a master, and I am relieved to have him to protect Xi'er." It just so happened that Aunt Liao kept him, maybe this is the will of God. ”
Chen Lilin was stunned and wondered, "Who is Gongzi Xu?"
Since Chu He entered the Chen Mansion, he has been living a simple life, almost never going out of his own small courtyard, let alone seeing the rest of the Chen family, and it is normal for Chen Lilin not to know him.
However, for this question, Chen Limin didn't know how to answer it. Even he himself has never seen Chu He a few times, and he has occasionally visited a few times these days, but he has also been blocked back by the other party indifferently.
If it weren't for Chu He's instructing Chen San's internal skills every day, Chen Limin would almost think that he was here to soak his daughter.
When Chen Limin's brothers and sisters were worried about Chen Xi's whereabouts, she was walking unhurriedly with Chu He, and the noisy streets could not dispel the excitement in her heart, and it was the first time she found that there was really no one behind her.
"Brother Xu, you really have you!" Chen Xi patted Chu He's shoulder vigorously and said with a smile, "Even the people sent by Granny Jia have been dumped by you!"
Although his strength has not yet reached that level, Chen Xi is also a person who is about to induce qi into his body after all, and he is quite sensitive to qi locking, and it is not too difficult to judge whether someone is following him after he is born.
Chu He smiled and did not speak.
At this time, Chen Xi was still unaware of the crisis of the Chen family, and he didn't know how dangerous it was for him to do so. Now her behavior is dominated by the girl's yearning for freedom, or even just some rebellious psychology.
Of course, in fact, Chu He didn't know what to do, the Chen family was almost to the point of life and death, otherwise he would never have come out with Chen Xi.
The girl is still at an innocent age, and it is difficult to come out, but she is not in a hurry to go to Longclaw Mountain, but takes Chu He to visit the market in Baoning North City.
"Brother Xu, look at it! That is called sugar cake, I have eaten it before, it is so sweet and sweet!"
Speaking of which, in half a month it will be the Lantern Festival, and it will be time for someone to start selling lanterns. ”
"Oh oh! That is the Acacia Lock, every time the Lantern Festival comes, the young men and women in love will buy a pair of Acacia Locks, lock and lock each other, hang on the fairy clothes bridge in the middle of the city......
"Wait. Hearing this, Chu He couldn't help but interrupt in confusion.
Chen Xi looked at him strangely and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chu He solemnly touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "So many locks are hung up, after a long time, won't the bridge break?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, she wanted to say "how is that possible", but after thinking about it, there seemed to be nothing wrong......
"This ...... Shouldn't it?" After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Xi came up with a not very sure answer, tilted his head and said, "There have been no problems for so many years, and there should be no problems in the future." ”
Chen Xi didn't realize that in the process of her deep contemplation, Chu He had quietly quickened her pace. And Chen Xi, who was thinking about things in his head, also subconsciously followed, so the two walked faster and faster.
Every once in a while, there would be such an unnutritious conversation between the two, and after a few times, Chen Xi was surprised to find that the two of them had come to the north gate at some point.
"Hey, it's here so soon?" Chen Xi looked at the claw-shaped mountain in front of him in amazement, and said with a strange expression.
"Your house isn't too far from Dragon Claw Mountain, isn't it?" Chu He smiled, seemingly completely unaware of the problem.
Chen Xi pouted and wanted to say more, Chu He had already pushed her shoulder and said, "Let's go." I don't know what the situation will be like for the Lu Dao Chess Sect, and if it's a little later, we may have to spend the night on the mountain. ”
When the two went out, it was already afternoon, and no matter how fast they walked, it was close to evening.
"Okay...... the girl reluctantly agreed, and when she looked to the side, her eyes lit up again, "Wait a minute! It's rare to come to Longclaw Mountain, I'll take you to eat something good!"
Good stuff?
Chu He was stunned for a moment, and wondered, "What is it?"
"That's it, that's called Doubai, a specialty of Longclaw Mountain!" Chen Xi pointed to a shop at the foot of the mountain where a large number of people gathered, but then his face fell again, "Why are there so many people today?"
Chu He turned his head to look again, but saw that there was already an extremely long queue in front of the small store, and there were more than 100 people at a glance. And among these people, there are many people who look urgent, but none of them dare to step forward and cut in line.
This store has some tricks...... Chu He said secretly in his heart.
Most of the people who can stay in Baoning City have two brushes in their hands. It's not an easy task for so many people to gather here without any conflict.
Just when Chu He was surprised, Chen Xi had already sighed helplessly, walked towards the front with his head bored, and saw that Chu He did not follow, and turned his head and shouted: "Don't stand stupidly! Ren's beans have been sold since morning and evening, let's buy them when we go down the mountain!"
Chen Xi's voice was so loud that the eyes of many people around her were attracted to her. But when they heard what the girl was saying, everyone smiled knowingly, and they looked like they were used to it.
At this moment, Chu He suddenly had a feeling of accompanying his girlfriend to go shopping in his previous life, especially Chen Xi's words were quite straightforward, which was very different from the kind of literary way of speaking on the official face, which gave him such a sense of immediacy.
After being stunned for a moment, he let out an "oh", and hurriedly caught up with Chen Xi's footsteps and went up the mountain together.
And what the two of them didn't know was that not long after they went up the mountain, a young man with red lips and white teeth appeared at the foot of the mountain, with a little indifference in his expression, and asked a person next to him: "Chen Xi really went up Longclaw Mountain with a man?"
"Yes, Sixth Young Master. The man next to the young man hurriedly bowed and replied, "In the past few days, the brothers have been staring at the Chen family, how can Miss Chen go out for such a big thing, how can she completely hide it?"
"Well done. The Sixth Young Master smiled coldly and said, "Although the Chen family will soon be destroyed, Chen Xi ...... She can't die until Young Master Ben is happy!"
The man suddenly lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes: "If the young master has a heart, just let the master know." When a few ancestors made a move, it was not difficult to let them leave that Miss Chen's life. ”
The sixth young master glared at him, and said casually: "How can the things that I asked my father for are easy to use?"
"Yes, yes, young master, you are right. The man nodded again and again, but when he saw that the young man was about to go up the mountain, he hurriedly exclaimed, "Young master, are you going up the mountain?
The sixth young master waved his hand, didn't look back, and said impatiently: "There are people from the sect who are protecting me, what else do you want to do with these wastes?"
