Chapter 372: Black Hand
There was a guest from outside the Shen Mansion, and after a while, a man dressed as a servant opened the door suspiciously, and after seeing the visitor, he couldn't help but be surprised, and then he immediately put on a smiling face and nodded and said, "Yuan Pavilion Master, you are ...... in the middle of the night."
"Yuan has something to see Shen Changfeng. Yuan Chu, who was standing outside the door, said with a calm expression.
The smile on the servant's face was even more flattering, and he said apologetically: "Pavilion Master Yuan said that he laughed, the old man is the magistrate of a county, and his food and accommodation have always been in the county government, you have found the wrong place." ”
Yuan Chu snorted with a cold face and unceremoniously debunked it, "Yuan doesn't like to waste time, so you go back and tell your master that Yuan Chu is visiting, and he only has two choices, see or not." Yuan Chu paused, there was a bit of threat in his words, but his tone was still calm as if he was talking about something innocuous and trivial, "If you don't see it, then Yuan will set fire to this house and let him come out to see me." ”
"This ......" The servant was speechless, full of embarrassment, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart why he ran out and opened the door. Master Shen has already instructed that he will refuse to see anyone during this time, and if someone comes to visit, he will shirk it to the county government, and they will not dare to disobey the will of the lord at the moment, so they will do it. But now it is Yuan Chu of Yunxian Pavilion who has come to the door, and both sides can't afford to offend, in case the Yuan Pavilion Lord really burns down the house......
The servant shuddered, not daring to think further, he had no doubt that Pavilion Master Yuan would really do such a thing, after all, in this Langya City, it was not necessarily his master who had the final say.
The servant smiled bitterly and motioned to Yuan Chu to wait outside the door, and he went to ask for instructions first, but this was almost a self-confessing act that was enough to show that Shen Changfeng was indeed in the Shen Mansion, Yuan Chu immediately stopped talking nonsense, raised his hand to shake the door open, and stepped in, and then he ordered the servant: "Take me to see Shen Changfeng!"
The servant was frightened, but nodded his head in agreement, cold sweat flowed from his forehead, although he didn't know what was going on, but when he saw the appearance of Yuan Pavilion Master's face, he felt that something was wrong, and he was afraid that his job would be lost.
With a sad face, the servant took Yuan Chu to the backyard where the old man lived, and then fled and left.
Yuan Chu walked into the courtyard with his hands in his hands, and saw at a glance that his old friend Shen Changfeng was lying on a rocking chair blowing the evening breeze and closing his eyes to recuperate, and there was a mahogany table beside him.
The latter seemed to be aware of Yuan Chu's arrival, and immediately got up and put on a smiling face, "There is a curfew in the city tonight, Brother Yuan took the trouble to come to see the younger brother, and please forgive the younger brother for missing the distance!"
Yuan Chu squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Changfeng, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
When he was in Tiance Mansion, Yuan Chu had the closest relationship with Shen Changfeng, Yuan Chu was a little older, and the two were called brothers. Later, when he was in Langya, Shen Changfeng lived in a simple house, almost never met people, even Yuan Chu was extremely difficult to meet him, and now that the time is counted, the two have not chatted for many years. When he said goodbye now, Yuan Chu suddenly realized that he was over fifty years old and really old, and although Shen Changfeng had not yet reached the Mandate of Heaven, he must have almost no change from back then, and his demeanor was still the same, still so radiant and magnificent.
Thinking of the original love, Yuan Chu's anger suddenly dissipated a little, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly sighed, "Changfeng, you still treat me as a big brother?"
"Brother Yuan, what are you talking about!" Shen Changfeng complained.
Yuan Chu snorted coldly, stepped forward to take the lead, and sat down unceremoniously on the rocking chair, while the latter was busy making a cup of tea for him.
"You did all these things tonight, even I calculated them, you really are my 'brother'! Could it be because I worshiped under the Qingfeng Pavilion before entering the Heavenly Ce Mansion, so Changfeng didn't trust me because of this?"
When Shen Changfeng heard this, he was at a loss, as if he didn't understand what Yuan Chu was talking about.
Yuan Chu patted the other party's shoulder and said disdainfully: "Don't pretend, I know your tricks very well, I really feel cold for my brother!"
"Brother Yuan misunderstood!" Shen Changfeng hurriedly defended: "The affairs of the house, the junior brother hasn't asked about it for a long time, and everything is handled by my unsuccessful son, tonight's matter, the younger brother really doesn't know!"
Yuan Chu glanced at it coldly, "Do you believe this yourself?"
Shen Changfeng's eyes were glazed, he thought for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly.
Yuan Chu saw him admit it, and finally sighed and said, "That's it, you want to test your kid's ability, right?"
"Those who know me, Yuan Chuye. Shen Changfeng raised his hand in surrender, and then explained with a smile: "That kid doesn't know the identity and relationship between you and me, and I just set up this game, how to play chess and where to play, it's up to that kid to judge...... In addition, I know that Brother Yuan's mind is not in this river and lake, so I don't think I will blame my little brother for this, right?"
Yuan Chu smiled and said unceremoniously: "If Shen Yuqing's kid hadn't been lucky enough to meet me, he wouldn't have known how he died, so I wrote down this account for you." ”
Shen Changfeng hurriedly slapped a sycophant, "Brother Yuan is really elegant!
"However, you just mentioned that you put up this game......" Yuan Chu obviously didn't eat this, his expression became serious, and he changed his words, and said thoughtfully: "Where did this game come from?" Not long after the fall of Xiaoyaotang, Mencius became the leader of the Four Seas Alliance, and Yunxian Pavilion was established, but it didn't take long for Mencius to find me to take charge of the affairs of Yunxian Pavilion. ”
"When did Mencius get involved with you? It stands to reason that the two of you should be incompatible?"
Yuan Chu looked at Shen Changfeng with a strange smile.
Shen Changfeng didn't answer, but said with interest: "Little brother wants to see which point Brother Yuan can guess." ”
Yuan Chu sighed and said regretfully: "There is too little information to know, I can't guess." ”
Shen Changfeng gave a simple hint straightforwardly: "Back then, Mencius Du and Xun had no intention of plotting against Xiaoyaotang, and Kong Wen was the survivor of Xiaoyaotang...... What happened tonight is his revenge on the entire Four Seas Alliance. ”
"I see, then I'll guess. Yuan Chu suddenly realized, his brows stretched, and he said with a smile, "Mencius is greedy and ferocious, but cunning is insufficient, with my understanding of the two of you, ......."
His next sentence was also unstaggering.
"Mencius Du plotted against Xiaoyaotang, you instructed it behind your back, right?"
