The middle-aged man opened his mouth and said that this matter was not urgent, of course it was okay to wait for a while, so he sat down on the stone chair next to Zhuge Chen.

Zhuge Chen didn't say much anymore, looking at the grass and trees not far away that were stained by the late autumn frost, and felt pitiful. He shuddered and pulled his hands back into his sleeves. The weather is getting cooler, and this is no longer the time for the autumn breeze. In addition, Zhuge Chen, who is no longer a cultivator, is wearing thin clothes, where can he stand it?

The middle-aged man on the side took out a snow-white fox fur, sent it to Zhuge Chen's eyes and said, "It's better to wear this for worship, at least it can keep out the cold." ”

When Zhuge Chen heard this, he glanced at the middle-aged man. How could he know the word offering.

In order to dispel Zhuge Chen's doubts, the middle-aged man had no choice but to say to Pantuo: "Although the identity of the worship is mysterious, it is really nothing to our night guards. In the next night of the small boss of the Imperial Guard, see the enshrinement. ”

The Night Guard, in charge of all the intelligence in the territory of Dayan, is active in the shadows. Even a court official like Liubu Shangshu, as long as he is targeted by him and invites him to "drink tea", then his reputation among the government and the opposition will plummet. The status of the night guard is beyond the temple, and although the big man has no official title, it is okay to sit side by side with the prime minister. Even in some respects, the prime minister is inferior to it.

The most important point is that every guard in the Night Imperial Guard is a cultivator with a high realm. A small leader like a middle-aged man must at least be destiny.

Zhuge Chen took the fox fur and draped it on his body, and then thanked him. And during this time, his mind kept thinking about the purpose of the Night Guard's appearance here. If it is said that they are eyeing the head of the Wang family, it should be unlikely. After all, a general who sits on the frontier for Dayan has no two hearts, and the realm is still that perfect, will not arouse the suspicion of the royal family no matter what. What's more, the old head of the Wang family, who is said to have retired to become a rich man, is still very kind to the current Emperor Dayan.

Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is easy, but it has to be worth it.

Otherwise, it really angered the head of the Wang family, the man who was giggling all day long, which could destroy half of the imperial city, and finally escape unharmed. People like him, no matter which empire they go to, will be treated preferentially. Even if you don't continue to guard the border passes, sitting in any imperial city can ensure that the royal family is worry-free.

Therefore, middle-aged people will definitely not come here for this. Wearing a fox fur, he exhaled a breath of hot air into his hands, Zhuge Chen rubbed his face and exhaled a breath of turbidity.

Listening to the shouting in the distance, Zhuge Chen got up and left, and after a while, he came back with four servings of soy milk fritters. Three of them were naturally reserved for himself and the Wang family, and as for the last one, he put it in the hands of the middle-aged man, and then said casually: "Running around day and night, I must be hungry! Eat some to fill your stomach first, and look at the time, it will take a few hours for the head of the Wang family to wake up." ”

obviously said that he would get up early today and call him, but in the end, even breakfast was bought by Zhuge Chen. Sure enough, the unreliability of the Wang family in such a trivial matter is in the same vein, and it is reflected in Wang Daxue and Wang Long, the two generations of family heads

Vividly.

Looking at the middle-aged man who ate soy milk fritters, Zhuge Chen smiled and said, "Since the boss has eaten my things, can you tell me what is going on?" Cannibals with short mouths and short hands, a big man like the boss of the night guard won't know this sentence, right?"

The middle-aged man smiled when he heard this, and said: "It's worthy of being offered to you, but it's not a big deal, if you ask, I'll just say it." I didn't expect to be able to cheat on breakfast, which is a wonderful thing. The queen contacted our night guards and let the families from all over the country enter the capital, which should be to celebrate the emperor's birthday. That's all I know, but I don't know why, but my family specially told me that I must tell the head of the family about this news in person. The rest, with my official position, is really out of reach. ”【#... ¥ Better Updates Faster]

Zhuge Chen nodded, and it was not difficult for him to be middle-aged, but he just said, "What should I call my lord?"

"The little surname is Wang, don't call me an adult. The middle-aged man said with some eagerness: "We don't have many rules for night guards, but it is a big taboo if it is disrespectful to a real adult like you." If anyone else finds out, my life will be ruined. You are enshrined in the imperial court, and there are only a few fingers of Dayan today, and even if our night guards want to investigate you, they must first obtain the emperor's approval, and the right to cut off and play before is useless. And unless you will be treasonous, if we investigate you, the emperor will not allow it. After all, if you can serve as a court offering, you either have a very high realm, and you have already stepped into the bamboo basket to draw water, and you will definitely be able to salvage the wonderful art in the future. Or, like you, have a bright future. ”

Zhuge Chen laughed at it.

The reason why Dayan was able to catch up with the national strength of the Great Shang at a terrible speed in the north, which was not as rich as the south, was that he was meritocracy. Employing people who are willing to let down their guard is really rare for the royal family.

is like Yunmeng, the monarchs and ministers are suspicious of each other, and this has gone from being the largest country in the world a hundred years ago to the point of a third country today. If it weren't for the deep west, it would be barren. With the absurdity of the Yunmeng royal family, I am afraid that even Xiyou is far behind. In the past, the famous generation of generals who shocked the world, wasn't it because of the suspicion of the Yunmeng royal family that he was forced to return to the imperial city at the moment before the capture of Xiyou. And just because of a trumped-up charge, he withdrew from the Yunmeng military world. Among them, the eunuchs mislead the country, and the reason is great.

Also since then, Yunmeng's national strength has plummeted. Dashang Dayan took this opportunity to recuperate, which created today's situation.

And according to the head of the Wang family, the next time the two countries fight, it is not far off. Within 100 years, one country will surely die and one life will die, and then there will always be an unprecedented situation in which one country will achieve the unification of the world. It's just that the people of the two countries are pitied, and they are both miserable.

It's just that Zhuge Chen is not interested in interfering in the process of these historical changes. What's more, in the Four Kingdoms War, if he interferes with the cultivators who are not all in the world, he will be nameless. Unless that country really annoys him, but now it seems that this is also nonsense.

From the bottom of his heart, he still hopes to return to heaven.

This is the original purpose of coming to this world, but after meeting many people and seeing a lot, I have more nostalgia, and this idea has faded. The best of both worlds is that when he returns to heaven, he will also return to the world. It's just that it is quite difficult to be able to travel back and forth between the two worlds at will. Either the realm is extremely high, and even the overlapping of the heavenly daos of the two worlds cannot be restrained. Either that or leave a mark so that the Heavenly Dao will not be blocked.

Zhuge Chen prefers the second method, after all, when he achieves that realm, the time it takes is immeasurable. When the time comes, things are wrong, and he will still have the need to come to this world?

Zhuge Chen's state of mind is completely different from that of most cultivators, and he thinks highly of himself and has compassion for the weak.

At this moment, I heard a roar from the inn: "What about Zhuge boy? Why is it gone? It can't be that bastard Shangxue is secretly plotting, right? Lao Tzu will leave for the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, no matter whose disciple he is, what kind of bullshit Prince Qizhu, if he is targeted by Lao Tzu, he will definitely die!"

Wang Daxue also woke up from his dream, he looked at the empty bed beside him, sadness came from it, and he also shouted: "Master of the family, I will go with you." If you don't kill that businessman, you swear not to be a man!"

Zhuge Chen in the courtyard was not only amused for a while, but also moved, the two people of the Wang family were really messed up. He glanced at the middle-aged man, and the two walked into the inn, Zhuge Chen leaned against the door, and looked at the two people in the room with a smile, and did not speak.

"The head of the family, the queen has a purpose. The middle-aged man spoke.

"Will, don't you see that I'm busy there? there are important things waiting for, what about the queen, Lao Tzu doesn't pay attention to it. The head of the Wang family said very unceremoniously, so that the middle-aged man who was born in the night guard and had seen too many storms was also a little at a loss.

"Master, I'm here. Zhuge Chen, who finally couldn't stand it, had no choice but to speak: "I got up early in the morning, went out to buy breakfast, put it on the table, and eat it after you wash up." ”

"Have a fart breakfast, don't you see that Brother Chen is gone?" Wang Daxue hurriedly packed his bags. At this moment, he looked back and saw that Zhuge Chen, who was dressed in white with a fox fur, was standing by the door looking at him.

Zhuge Chen walked into the house, put down his breakfast, and immediately began to complain: "You two are really good, you have been snoring all night without talking, and you don't stop even in the morning." I had no choice but to go out, and I met this brother of the night guard. ”

The head of the Wang family nodded and said, "I know what the Queen Mother wants to say." Now leave for the capital at once, and you can go back first! As for that sentence, you don't have to bring it, I know it in my heart. ”

"It's the best, there is a lot of trouble, and I hope that the head of the family, Haihan. The middle-aged man was resolute, and he stayed for a short time after speaking, left the house, and left directly.

On the other hand, the head of the Wang family sighed, sat on the edge of the bed, and said to himself: "It seems that this should come, and it will come after all." It's just that I didn't expect it to be so early. It's just that I'm a martial artist, and it's not a matter of mixing with their lords in the court. ”

Zhuge Chen saw the worries of the head of the Wang family,

He said, "A big war is going to start?"

"It's more than that!" The head of the Wang family took a sip of soy milk, bit down the fritters fiercely, and muttered: "Ghosts and evil are coming, and the world is in chaos." It is not a good thing that there will be a war before that. If you really want to be taken advantage of by him, and the four countries are in turmoil, how can it be that a people are not able to make a living?"

"Ghosts?" Zhuge Chen asked suspiciously.

The head of the Wang family told the story of thousands of years ago, and Zhuge Chen understood the seriousness of the matter. But the general trend is coming, and he can't stop it. Only being good is the right way. But the heavens and the earth are big, if the demons and evil really want to fight back, who can transcend the outside world? Of course, he Zhuge Chen can't, unless he enters the True Dao. But at that time, it was the best policy for him to break the separation between the world and return to heaven and heaven.

"Don't worry about the family, as you said, what should come is what is coming. We cultivators can't stop it. Zhuge Chen opened his mouth and said, he helped Wang Daxue pack his bags, and continued: "Since this is the case, don't rush back to the Wang family. The three of us entered the capital together to see if the royal family had other thoughts other than this matter. I always felt that this will not be simple. ”

The head of the Wang family sighed: "Now it seems that this is the case." ”

The decision was made so quickly, Wang Daxue didn't react. When the three of them left, he suddenly woke up and asked, "Why don't we go back to Wang's house?"

Zhuge Chen sat in the carriage he bought, closed his eyes, nodded and said, "There is a change in the plan, go to the capital first." I didn't have a lot of fun playing last time, look at this time this time my son is a mortal and crisscrosses the capital of Dayan!"

Wang Daxue's blood boiled when she heard this, and she said: "Although Brother Chen, you are no different from waste now, as long as I am here, others don't want to hurt you!"

Zhuge Chen, who was called a waste by others for the first time, had a breath of qi and blood held in his throat, and he felt a dilemma. In the end, he casually touched a wooden plank, hit Wang Daxue's head and said, "Shut up." ”

Then Zhuge Chen lifted the curtain and opened his eyes to look out the window. Although the carriage was slow, it was not bumpy and should have been specially made. Anyway, it was the head of the Wang family who paid for it, and he didn't feel distressed. The scenery along the way is not so good that people can feel relaxed at a glance, but Zhuge Chen just likes such a small mountain and slow water. For the majestic rivers, lakes and seas, I don't feel anything.

Sitting outside the carriage and driving the horse was the head of the Wang family, some of whom were small and useful, but he insisted on being a groom. Zhuge Chen guessed that he was distressed about the price of hiring a groom, and at this point, the two were about the same. Since you can have the rest of the money, it is safer to keep it in your pocket.

A large part of the reason why Zhuge Chen, who was not used to sitting in the carriage, either closed his eyes or looked out the window was because as long as he opened his eyes in the carriage, he would feel dizzy. There is still about seven days to go from the Dayan Imperial City, and in between, I'm afraid it's hard for Zhuge Chen. He couldn't read the book he had just bought, and every time he read a word, he felt his blood churning.

In the past few days, the happiest time is to get out of the carriage and eat. now

He, a mortal, can't do Bigu for seven days. Fortunately, the head of the Wang family was born in the military and is extremely skilled in picnics. Three times five divided by two, can always make Zhuge Chen's meals more flavorful.

As for Wang Daxue, he didn't dare to sleep soundly, and every one who slept outside would sit by the campfire. Zhuge Chen knew in his heart that he was afraid that he would be taken away by a passing beast. Although he was very moved, Bai Yi would not say anything. It's good to keep a lot of things in mind, and when you say it, it changes the taste.

......

Seven days later, the group of three finally arrived at the Great Yan Imperial City. The strange thing is that this city has no name, and it is called the imperial city in the mouths of the people of Dayan. As for the other three kingdoms, it was just that the word Dayan was added before the imperial city.

Zhuge Chen just thought it was strange, so he didn't ask much.

The soldiers guarding the city outside the imperial city naturally recognized this head of the Wang family who was born in the military, and they didn't even check the espionage, and let him go directly. Because it is the emperor's birthday, the capital is very lively.

Zhuge Chen looked at the city and smiled lightly. Mikami has been here three times this time, and each time the purpose is different. I don't know if the third beauty in the sky is still here, Zhuge Chen thought attentively. The relationship between the two has long been messy. Just because of the dagger stained with patina, everything went down the drain.

Zhuge Chen got out of the carriage and followed the two of the Wang family to the courtyard that the Wang family had set up here. Before he could rest for long, officials from the court came to visit. After all, in this Dayan military world, the head of the Wang family represents more than half of the country.

What's more, the Wang family's right to speak in Dayan is even more unimaginable. In the past, there was also a Jiyue Xu clan that could be counterbalanced with it, but since the head of the Wang family entered the Zhen Dao, the balance has been broken. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is getting closer to the Wang family, and even gave the Great Pillar Kingdom to the ancestors of the Wang family.

As usual, the head of the Wang family sent a message to thank the guests, but those gifts were still sent into the Wang family by the smiling officials.

The housekeeper who had been in this courtyard was even busier, sighing, but happy in his heart. He is also an old man of the Wang family in the capital of the times, and when he reaches the age of retirement, he does not want to return to his hometown. According to the housekeeper's own words, staying here all his life, elsewhere has long been no longer his hometown.

After the housekeeper finished cleaning up, Zhuge Chen looked at the gifts in the room, opened a package casually, took out the snacks inside and began to eat. Presumably, in this turbulent capital, he is the only real idler. There is no need to practice, and you are in the Wang family, so you don't have to think about anything.

Before he finished eating a box, Zhuge Chen took out a few snacks and put them in his hand, he walked leisurely, walked to the courtyard and chatted with the housekeeper: "Don't be busy with the housekeeper, leave it to me, these snacks are good, you can taste them first." ”

The housekeeper was flattered and hurriedly refused. How could Zhuge Chen directly help lift those sundries and get busy. Seeing this, the butler put the snack in his hand into his mouth. He hadn't seen anyone like this for years. It is not easy to be in a high position, but to be humble.

What's more, he also has an ear for this white cloth

Smell, Zhuge Chen, now this name is very important in the Wang family. After all, looking at the entire Dayan, it was the first time that the leader of the Ten Thousand Clans Association had fallen on the head of a family.

After finishing the work in his hands, Zhuge Chen wiped the sweat on his forehead and said to the housekeeper: "Our royal family has a big business, why don't you use a few people to help the housekeeper." You're so old, it's time to take a break, or you're tired of what to do?"

The housekeeper smiled and said, "What the son said, I thought about it, but unfortunately it was impossible." The forces in this capital are intertwined and complex, and there is no one who has not been able to figure out a person's temperament for more than ten years. If I hire someone to come, and it happens that person harbors evil intentions, I will have no shame to face the children of the Wang family. ”
