On the second day of the second month of the Great Yuan calendar, the dragon raised its head. Chen Mansion of Anping City, Chen Tang Kingdom.

The son of Chen Wu, the son of the Chen family, is full moon today, and the Chen Mansion holds a banquet. No matter outside the Chen Mansion, there are all the doors, and even the entire street outside the Chen Mansion is full of feasts, and pedestrians, whether raw or cooked, can sit at the table.

Chen Ping, the head of the Chen family, was originally a relative of the emperor of Chen Tang Dynasty, who had made great contributions to the country on the battlefield, and then retired due to injury, and did not like the court, so he abandoned the military and engaged in business, because of the help of a large number of soldiers in the army, and obtained the emperor's license, after more than 20 years of operation, he created the largest business alliance in Chen Tang Kingdom, and the family business spread all over the country, which can be described as the richest family in Chen and Tang Dynasty.

And Chen Wu, the eldest son of Chen Ping, the head of the Chen family, is extremely talented, and has shown amazing business talent and acumen since he was five or six years old. And some military weapons such as military repeaters invented and transformed by Chen Wu have raised the influence of the Chen Mansion in the Chen and Tang Kingdoms to a higher level.

In the backyard of Chen's mansion, in Chen Wu's bedroom, an old man with gray hair sat on the edge of the bed, holding a sleeping baby in his left hand, and patting it gently with his right hand, as if the baby had just been coaxed to sleep by him.

This old man is Chen Ping, the famous An Le Hou of Chen Tang Kingdom.

And next to the desk below Chen Ping, a man was looking intently at the stacks of documents on the table, his brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were bright, his face was not angry and arrogant, and he looked extremely noble, it was Chen Ping's eldest son Chen Wu.

"What, Wu'er, is there still no clue?" Chen Ping gently patted the baby and asked Chen Wu.

"Yes, Dad, the Shengyin Valley mentioned in Di'er's letter, I have searched through the classics of the entire Chen Tang Kingdom, but I have not found any relevant clues. Although Di'er said that we should not worry, but she has just finished giving birth and traveled far away, and it is still a place that none of us knows, so how can I not worry!" Chen Wu put down a dossier in his hand, turned around, and replied with a worried face.

"Forget it, Wu'er, according to what Di'er said, that Shengyin Valley is an immortal sect, how can we know it in this mortal realm, since Di'er said don't worry, then let's listen to her." Chen Ping leaned down, gently kissed the baby's face, stood up, and said, "Okay, the hour is almost up, I'm going out to entertain guests, Wei'er has just fallen asleep, you take care of it, don't wake up again." ”

After speaking, he handed over Chen Wei, who was still asleep, to Chen Wu's hand, and then slowly walked towards the banquet hall with the support of the butler, on crutches.

Looking at the back of his father's departure, and then at Chen Wei who was sleeping in his arms, Chen Wu muttered: "Di'er, no matter where you are, no matter how far you are from me, I will definitely find you, definitely!"

The banquet hall was full of guests who came to congratulate at this time, some of these guests were the children of Chen Ping's family, and the other part was a famous family in Anping City. Although Chen Ping has not been in the court over the years, but his influence is all over the country, in the past, whenever Chen Ping held a feast, there were always many dignitaries and nobles who came to congratulate him, but this time Chen Ping's eldest grandson was full moon, and none of those who knotted came strangely.

However, Chen Ping didn't care too much, maybe he was old, and his vigilance was not as strong as in the army back then. I just feel that in the past year, the border of Chen and Tang has been in constant war, and the court is anxious, maybe those people have gone to care about the war.

"Hahaha, thank you for coming to congratulate your grandson! I am grateful!" Chen Ping clasped his hands into fists and said to everyone in the audience.

Old Man Chen said seriously. ”

"Where, where, this is the honor of my generation!"

"This is what my generation should be, as it should be!"

。。。

A group of guests hurriedly stood up to return the salute, and everyone congratulated one after another.

"Haha, thank you here, the old man, my grandson has just fallen asleep, and he is a little scared, so he won't take it out. Chen Ping laughed and said, "Then the feast will begin." Everyone, please drink heartily, eat and drink to your heart's content, haha!"

As Old Man Chen's words fell, the full moon feast in Chen's Mansion officially began. Whether it is inside or outside the Chen Mansion, there is a lot of laughter, a group of guests are staggered, talking and laughing, a happy scene.

。。。。。

However, just when there was laughter and laughter in Anping City, a few kilometers outside the city, a black cavalry with black armor stood quietly on the plain, and in front of the cavalry camp, a red wolf head flag with gold on a black background fluttered in the wind, and this flag represented the famous red wolf regiment of Chen Tang Kingdom.

Under the wolf flag, Lian Da, the leader of the Red Wolf Regiment, rode a black horse, held a long knife, and his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Anping City a few kilometers away.

In the distance, a horse galloped over, and the people on it came to Lian Da, turned over and dismounted, and said: "General Qiyu, the Chen family feast has begun, all the internal personnel of the Chen family are basically here, and the gate of Anping City is wide open, without any guard!"

"Okay!" Lian Da's murderous eyes flashed, and he said, "Explore again!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the scouts in the distance, Lian Da looked at Anping City and muttered: "Chen Ping, Chen Ping, although you are not in the court, but you should not stretch your hand so long, you must know that Huaibi is guilty, blame your family business is too big!"

"The whole army, after an hour, go out with General Ben and sweep away the traitors!" Lian Datou did not know, and ordered to his subordinates behind him.

"Yes!"

Just after noon, before the time came, the heavens and the earth seemed to indicate something, and the warm sun quietly hid behind the dark clouds.

"Slim, dumb. ”

A large patch of spring rain fell from the sky, shrouding the entire Anping City in a haze.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and although the feast in Anping City was still the same, most of the people had eaten and drunk enough, and some well-fed and well-fed guests came to bid farewell to Old Man Chen one after another. There were only a small number of guests, and it seemed that they were not yet happy, but the servants of the Chen family came to set up a big umbrella to protect them from the rain, and this spring rain did not affect the eating and drinking of these people.

"Boom, boom!"

There was a sudden deafening sound outside Anping City, as if there were thousands of troops galloping outside the city, Chen Ping and the guests suddenly changed their faces, but they didn't know what was happening outside the city.

Outside the city, the rain and fog were hazy, a black line from far to near, thousands of horsemen of the red wolf regiment, in a serpentine formation, with the momentum of ten thousand troops, instantly from far and near, rushed into the unsuspecting and open gate of Anping City.

Lian Da, the head of the Red Wolf Regiment, held a knife in one hand and a holy decree in the other, leading the Red Wolf Regiment of thousands of people, and he was also walking on the ground in the city, rushing directly towards the Chen Mansion.

"There is a decree from the king, Chen Ping, Marquis of Anping, betrayed the country, the evidence is conclusive, I am Lian Da, the head of the Red Wolf Regiment, and I will punish his nine clans according to the king's will. In Anping City, everyone is rebellious, and everyone is killed!!"

Lian Da himself is a master of the innate realm, coupled with the infusion of internal force, his voice is extremely loud, although Anping City is extremely noisy, but his voice has strangely reached everyone's ears.

When the people in the city heard this, their faces changed, and even worse, they immediately fell to their knees and shouted that they had been wronged.

Although the Red Wolf Battalion is a cavalry, it is still galloping in this city, the tables, chairs and personnel on the street cannot be stopped, and the places passed, whether men, women and children, whether kneeling or standing, the Red Wolf Battalion is all one by one, blood and water mixed with rain flow on the ground, and the entire Anping City is completely shrouded in blood and wailing.

In Anping City, there are also people who want to resist, but these people, where are the opponents of the battle-hardened Red Wolf Regiment cavalry, and some have not even drawn their swords, they have been cut in two by the cavalry.

And Chen Ping, after hearing the movements around him, although his face also changed, but as an old general who crisscrossed the battlefield, he immediately understood. Although he is not in the court, the current strength of the Chen Mansion has threatened the imperial power, and the king wants to kill his Chen Ping family!

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Ping looked around and saw that most of the children of the Chen family were at a loss, and shouted loudly: "The children of the Chen family listen to the order, the king was deceived by traitors and framed my Chen family. ”

Chen Ping said, looked at the offerings of the Chen family, hugged his fists and said: "Everyone, today is the time of life and death of my Chen family, in the past to provide you with countless resources, and please help my Chen family through this calamity, after this calamity, the old decay will be thanked!"

"Where does Old Chen speak, this is my duty!"

Some of the Chen family worshippers said the same thing, and then flew to some of the Chen family's children, responsible for protecting the safety of those Chen family children. It's just that there are so many people who are worshipping, but their faces are uncertain, I don't know if they are thinking about the gains and losses, or if they have other plans in their hearts.

"Daddy!"

"Your Excellency!"

"What's wrong?"

But it was Chen Wu in the backyard who came to Chen Ping's side with Chen Wei, who was crying constantly, and a man in white robes, and asked.

Seeing the visitor, Chen Ping's face changed, and he said: "Wu'er, why did you bring Wei'er over, hurry, you go to the backyard garden, the rockery is a secret passage, which can lead to the outside of the city, you go quickly!"

"Dad, I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay, live and die with the Chen family! You go, I know that secret passage, your legs and feet are inconvenient, you go first!" Chen Wu said resolutely.

"Confused, I am the Marquis of Anping in the court, and with me in the Chen Mansion, then Lian Da will not dare to kill on a large scale. After that, Chen Ping turned his head to the white-robed man and said, "Zhiqi, quickly, you take the young master to go first!"

Lin Zhiqi looked at Chen Ping, then at Chen Wu, who insisted on not leaving, nodded, and said firmly: "Yes, Master Hou, I will definitely protect the young master and the little master!"

After that, Lin Zhiqi slashed at the back of Chen Wu's neck with a knife, knocked Chen Wu unconscious, and then took the crying Chen Wei in Chen Wu's arms, hugged Chen Wei in one hand, carried Chen Wu on his back with the other, and walked quickly to the backyard.

Looking at the departing Lin Zhiqi, Chen Ping's eyes showed a hint of determination, he put his crutches on the ground heavily, and said loudly: "Children of the Chen family, take your weapons, follow me, protect the Chen family!"

"Bang. ”

The gate of Chen's Mansion suddenly rang, and the two gates forged from Qinggang wood broke open in an instant, and Lian Da, the commander of the Red Wolf Battalion, fell into Chen's Mansion with a team of Red Wolf Regiment soldiers.

Lian Da held a knife in his right hand and a holy decree in his left hand, his tiger eyes narrowed slightly, he looked around at the children of the Chen family, and finally his eyes fell on Chen Ping, and said: "Anping Marquis Chen Ping, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, the evidence is conclusive, and he is the main culprit." The Chen family and other related personnel are deceived by it, and they can avoid death if they surrender!"

After that, murderous aura burst out in his eyes, and he said: "If there is resistance, it will be regarded as a worker, and it will be killed!"

When the children of the Chen family heard this, most of them gritted their teeth and scolded Lian Da for committing crimes and being lawless. But there were still some people, with uncertain faces, looking at the red wolf group with a sinister body, and their eyes were full of timidity, and they secretly touched the back of the crowd.

"Hmph!" Chen Ping snorted coldly and said: "Lian Da, don't you want to demagoguery here, my Chen family disciple, I have never been greedy for life and afraid of death, if you want to kill me, it depends on whether you have the ability!"

Lian Da's eyes rose with murderous intent, and he shouted: "Okay, since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless under the knife, the Red Army Camp listens to the order, and in Anping City, everyone is rebellious, everyone, kill immediately, today I want this Anping City chicken and dog not to stay!"
