Chapter Seventy-Four: One Punch and One Sword
The genius was bright, and the two set off for home.
After all, Zhuge Chen is in the realm of Tianli, even if he doesn't sleep all night, it's nothing, plus he still pretends to sleep for a while, so he is naturally refreshed. But Xiao Wei Xian was different, if he hadn't secretly pinched his thigh, he would have fallen asleep.
Zhuge Chen noticed something was wrong, so he sent Xiao Wei Xian back to his residence.
He really likes Xiao Wei Xian, and there are not many people who are from humble backgrounds and know how to be grateful. He just tried to help this little eunuch, and as for whether he could let him ascend to the sky in the end, Zhuge Chen didn't really care.
Out of this palace group, Zhuge Chen walked leisurely on the street, happened to see a breakfast shop, so he bought two cooking cakes and a bowl of soy milk, and sat on the long wooden chair at the door to eat with relish.
The stall owner saw that the young man in white was dressed like an ordinary person, and was very curious that the other party could get used to the taste of the market, so he leaned over and asked, "Is this boy eating well?"
Zhuge Chen, who had just taken a bite of the cooking cake, swallowed the food in his mouth with soy milk, gave a thumbs up and said, "It's good." You can taste the craft for decades while eating, I don't know how many years the shopkeeper has been working here?"
The stall owner hurriedly said: "Where can you be called a shopkeeper, that is, a stall owner of a small shop." But you're right, Childe, I've been doing this for decades. Counting the time, it's almost thirty years. ”
Zhuge Chen drank all the soy milk in the bowl, put another bowl on his own, and deliberately added more sugar. Then he put a grain of silver in the stall owner's hand and said, "No need to look for it." ”
The stall owner was a real person, and he didn't like to take advantage of a stranger, so he hurriedly put the broken silver back and said, "Where is this? If the prince really doesn't have copper coins, he doesn't need to give them, and he doesn't have much money anyway, so he will treat you as if I invited you." ”
Although the stall owner said this, he still couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh. A few copper plates, or even a thousand taels of gold are nothing to Zhuge Chen, but for the stall owner, it is the hard-earned money earned by hard work in the morning and a lifetime of glory and wealth.
He had a hard life, and even now in the middle of the night, he was awakened several times when he remembered his youth. Years of famine, coupled with continuous wars, the separation of his wife and the early death of his youth have become things he is accustomed to. Even the old people in the village said that he was able to survive because of his fate, and it was God's reward for food.
He didn't want his son and daughter to fall into this kind of fate, so he worked hard to make money. But in the imperial city, when can he spend less? Not to mention that now that his two children have entered a private school, this day is getting more and more difficult.
Zhuge Chen hurriedly shook his head and said, "Where is this, you can keep it." It's really not good to count my food money for half a year, I come to you every morning to eat. ”
"Childe really?"
When it came to this, the stall owner still asked vigorously, and even Zhuge Chen was amused by his perseverance: "If you really can't do it, you can send it to the Chengnan Palace, two bowls of soy milk and two cooking cakes every day." ”
The forces of the imperial city are criss-crossed, and there are countless wealthy lords of the world, and there are so many mansions with the surname Wang, how can he try them one by one? If he meets a good temper, he may just blow him away, and if he encounters a bad temper, his legs may be broken.
That's why he continued to ask, "Which palace is in the south of the city?"
"Are there other palaces in the Imperial City?" Zhuge Chenhu said to himself suspiciously, "The means of the head of the Wang family are not enough, how can the top group of people in Da Yan tolerate the duplicate name of the private house? ”
"What did Childe say?"
"It's fine. Zhuge Chen came back to his senses and said: "The southern Wang family knows, right? You can just send the daily breakfast to the door of the largest house in the south of the city, and I will inform the housekeeper to pick it up every day." ”
After that, Zhuge Chen didn't give the stall owner a chance to continue asking, and when he knocked out the broken silver just now, he vaguely felt another bamboo basket of water entering the imperial city, and pointed directly at the private residence where the head of the Wang family was sitting.
Halfway down, he suddenly accelerated, drew a streamer on the long street, and flew towards the Wang family's private house.
Presumably, only a few cultivators in the Imperial City, including him, could notice that on this sunny morning, the head of the Wang family was engaged in a battle of will with another bamboo basket to fetch water.
If he didn't guess wrong, the two of them were engaged in a battle to the death, which is commonly known as the Great Dao Battle!
The winner will naturally benefit a lot, and it is very likely that he will have an epiphany and go straight to the realm of the Dao, and he will not be able to go from heaven and earth, and the state of mind of the loser will be full of holes, and he will have no chance with the Dao in this life.
Of course, he hoped that the winner would be the head of the Wang family who had always taken care of him, but it was not child's play to move forward, and his wishful thinking had no effect.
When he stepped into the door of the Wang family, he shouted the four words of the head of the Wang family loudly, and he was anxious when he saw that no one responded.
It wasn't until he saw the head of the Wang family playing chess with someone in the study, talking and laughing with others, and drinking a sip of tea between the ups and downs of the chess pieces, very happy.
Zhuge Chen walked in quickly and asked the head of the Wang family: "What's the matter?!" Lao Tzu thought that you were fighting with others on the Great Road, so he rushed back, you were alive and easy, and you also set up a chessboard and pretended to be literati and artists. ”
The head of the Wang family laughed in Zhuge Chen's angry eyes, took out a cup from his delicately shaped tea set, poured it full of tea and handed it to Zhuge Chen's hand and said: "As far as the matter is concerned, I am innocent, if you want to be angry, you will also send it to this person." Is it okay to wait for an idle person to be angry with me?"
After listening to the words of the head of the Wang family, Zhuge Chen set his eyes on the middle-aged man in the Confucian shirt sitting opposite.
The middle-aged man looked at him with an extraordinary bearing, his eyes were bright, and he didn't know how much better than the head of the Wang family. Even Zhuge Chen was a little upset about it, why did he have to stay with the head of the Wang family?
Since there were only the two of them in the room, and Zhuge Chen, who had the unique momentum of the bamboo basket to draw water, would definitely not feel wrong, then if nothing else, the middle-aged gentleman was the cultivator who fetched water with the bamboo basket.
Guessing this, Zhuge Chen made a junior salute to the middle-aged Yashi, and then whispered in the ear of the head of the Wang family: "Is there a dispute between the two of you?"
The middle-aged gentleman returned the white child in his hand to the chess box, took a sip of tea and said, "Interesting boy, you must be the one who turned the dynasty upside down yesterday and killed the prime minister in the court, right?"
Zhuge Chen nodded.
The middle-aged gentleman continued: "Then do you know that I have an old relationship with the prime minister?"
"I don't know what?" Zhuge Chen asked rhetorically: "The seniors are not here to seek revenge, right? Then you have to fight with the head of the Wang family first, who made me have a great relationship!"
The middle-aged gentleman looked at the big and small in front of him with a smile and said, "That's it." ”
While talking and laughing, a deafening voice sounded in Zhuge Chen's ears: "Then do you know who I am?"
The momentum that came to his face wrapped Zhuge Chen, and he couldn't breathe. But the young man in white still gritted his teeth and said word by word: "I don't care who you are, it's just a bamboo basket that can bully people to draw water, and I haven't killed it!"
"Xu Shi, you're over!" The head of the Wang family said softly, stretching out his hand to help Zhuge Chen block all the qi: "Okay, let's have one person from each of our two families decide the ownership of the leader of the Ten Thousand Clans Meeting, how can you replace it with you?"
As the head of the Wang family said this, the identity of the middle-aged gentleman was about to come out. The word Xu Shi is extremely important in Dayan, because this person is the head of the Xu family in Jiyue today, and he is also the backbone of Dayan scribes.
If you really read a bamboo basket to draw water, he is the only one in the whole world.
Xu Shi sat on the chair and looked at the white-clothed young man who was panting heavily, muttering to himself: "Cultivation is not a heavenly base, how can you kill a Heavenly Mandate Commander? Isn't it a freak who only kills hard and does not cultivate well? But it is not like this, even the coercion of the bamboo basket to draw water can be blocked." ”
Zhuge Chen's chest was uncomfortable, and a mouthful of blood gushed out of his throat, but he was pressed back by the tea.
At this time, he was only a step away from the Xu family master, and if he didn't know that he wouldn't be able to kill the other party anyway. At this moment, he had already pulled out the rubber pillar and stabbed it.
Xu Shi seemed to guess Zhuge Chen's thoughts, and persuaded him with good words: "Send you a hard-to-buy road, things can be done, but don't do it." ”
Zhuge Chen closed his eyes and pretended to ignore it.
At this time, a young man of the same age as Zhuge Chen pushed the door in, walked to Xu Shi's side silently, and said in a straight voice: "Family master, you called me?"
Xu Shi nodded and said, "In today's battle, you and the white-clothed young man decided which family would be the leader of the Ten Thousand Clans Society, so you must go all out." I've tried it for you, and he's half a realm behind you, but don't take it lightly. ”
Just when Zhuge Chen was looking at the young man of the Xu family who had just come in, the voice of the head of the Wang family suddenly sounded in his heart: "Why don't I also help you test it?"
"No!" Zhuge Chen, who was holding back a breath of anger in his heart, said decisively: "Look at Lao Tzu who beat him for a week, he can't get out of bed and walk!"
Although he can't beat the head of the Xu family now, he is confident that he can still beat a young junior from the Xu family. Since the other party can be taken out at this time, he will definitely be the ace character who will shine at the Wanzu Meeting. Of course, Zhuge Chen didn't mind taking revenge on the Xu clan from him, so as to show the evil anger in his heart.
The two walked to the open space outside the house, and the surrounding area had been controlled by the two family heads to ensure that the qi engine would never disperse.
The young man of the Xu family has been exposed to it at home for so many years, so he naturally understands etiquette, and he still asked when the war was about to start: "My name is Xu Xu, what is the name of this son." ”
Zhuge Chen was furious, where did he have the leisure to answer questions, and he had already faced him with a sword. His sword aura is too strong, even if the other party is lucky?
It will not be a one-and-one enemy!
The Xu teenager can also be regarded as the leader of the younger generation of Dayan, and the means are naturally endless. But what he met was the unreasonable Zhuge Chen, one sword is a million swords, and he didn't give the other party a chance to fight back at all.
Originally, in Xu Shi's eyes, he should have the upper hand, but at least the situation of calm wind and autumn colors has now evolved into beating the water dog. Look at this posture, they have already lost if they have no chance to turn over.
In the end, Zhuge Chen smashed his fist into the chest of the Xu boy, knocking him to the ground.
When it was over, he clapped his hands and said, "That's it?
