Ye Dong nodded to Steward Wang, and then leaned down and walked out.

"It's so magnificent!" Seeing the small scale of the Chu Mansion, Ye Dong couldn't help but sigh.

Steward Wang was noncommittal, but he always had a smile on his face, and he seemed to be very talkative.

But this smile was only relative to Ye Dong, and when he looked at the guards and bodyguards who were guarding the homes in Chu Mansion, as well as the maids and maids of the family, he had a serious expression on his face, and even a little indifferent.

After walking inside, Ye Dong pretended to be curious and looked inside, he was looking for the dark house that night.

If memory serves, the house is supposed to be at the back.

"This way, please. "Steward Wang led the way for Ye Dong.

Ye Dong retracted his gaze and said, "Okay." ”

They walked through the courtyard and came to the hall, and when they were outside, the steward Wang announced, "Master, the prince has arrived." ”

Someone immediately came out inside, this person was dressed in gorgeous clothes, his bearing was majestic, his spirit was strong, his eyes were shining, to be honest, many young people did not necessarily have his strength, but at the moment he was smiling, and said: "Son, you are finally here, waiting for the old man to look forward to it." ”

Ye Dong touched his nose, they were one son, he was not used to it, and he was busy: "My name is Yan Dong, and Master Chu can call me Xiao Dong." ”

"Xiao Dong," Chu Xiongxin immediately hugged Ye Dong's shoulder, "I've been waiting here for a long time, please come inside." ”

Ye Dong felt very uncomfortable, for a long time, few people treated him so politely, although he knew that this Chu Xiongxin was just a hypocrisy and a pretense gesture, but he was almost moved by him.

When he came to the hall, Chu Xiongxin asked Ye Dong to sit down and said to the people beside him: "Serve tea." ”

The two drank tea and chatted.

Ye Dong said: "I am a rough man in the countryside, and I am really flattered to be able to get such a courtesy from Master Chu." ”

Chu Xiongxin waved his hand, domineering and heroic, and didn't care at all, and said: "In order to get a talent like Gongzi, what is this waiting, speaking of which, the old man should have personally invited Gongzi, but the affairs are too busy, and he really can't leave. ”

Ye Dong despised this Chu Xiongxin in his heart, this old thing is quite good at pretending, he is old, but when he says these words, his face does not change, he is extremely skilled, and his face is not red or panting.

"Master Chu is so worthy of the harsh winter, the harsh winter is grateful, I am a wanderer, wandering in the rivers and lakes, since I have met such a talented master as Master Chu, I should do my best to show my strengths, in order to repay the kindness of Lord Chu. Ye Dong is not bad, and his brain is also fast enough, not only making up a name, but also using the skills he cultivated when he was a partner in the Drunken Dream Building, and the ability to talk to people and ghosts.

Seeing this situation, Steward Wang was also relieved, he was also afraid that Ye Dong would not understand the general situation, and he would offend Chu Xiongxin by saying the wrong thing, which would make Chu Xiongxin unhappy, and everyone was embarrassed at that time, and he was the most embarrassed to be caught in the middle.

Facts have proved that although this harsh winter is a bit strange, it is also a knowledge of etiquette and proportion.

"Come, drink tea. Chu Xiongxin was in high spirits, happy and happy, and picked up the teacup to pay tribute to Ye Dong.

Ye Dong returned the salute, shook the teacup, brushed the tea leaves with the lid of the cup, took a sip, and said: "Good tea, there is a trace of bitterness in the mouth, but if you taste it carefully, it is fragrant and sweet." ”

Chu Xiongxin said: "This tea is called Kuding tea, which is bitter first and then sweet, and it is the old man's favorite variety. ”

After drinking tea for a while, Ye Dong said: "By the way, why don't you see Gongzi Chu?"

"Oh, he went to do something for the old man. ”

"I have long heard that Chu Gongzi is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he is one of the best young men in Lizhou, and it seems that the rumors are indeed true. ”

"Oh, has Xiaodong ever seen a dog?"

"That's not true," Ye Dong said, "Young Master of other families, don't say that they do things for the family, as long as they don't cause trouble, they will burn high incense for Amitabha Buddha, Master Chu can rest assured and boldly hand over things to Master Chu to do, and he is so calm and relaxed, it can be seen that it is not the first time, and Master Chu should have done things perfectly before, so Master Chu knows it." ”

"Therefore, although I have not met Chu Gongzi, I also know something about him. ”

"Hahaha," a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside the house, "Dad, I said that you don't have to worry about helping you do that, there are people who believe in your son's strength." ”

Immediately, a handsome man in white walked in with a steady pace, and Ye Dong fixed his eyes to see that it was Chu Tiankuo.

I haven't seen each other for two years, Chu Tiankuo looks a little different, his posture is more upright, his face is more handsome, and his temperament is more dusty.

"Sven scum!" Ye Dong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If Ye Dong didn't know his details, he was afraid that with his eyes, he would not be able to distinguish Chu Tiankuo's personality, so he would be deceived by his appearance.

This bad thing, I don't know how much it has been deceived*, a deep young woman.

Ye Dong was disdainful in his heart, scolded, but with a smile on his face, he said: "Presumably this is Gongzi Chu, it is really better to see than to hear, and it is really beautiful, handsome and chic." ”

Chu Tiankuo sat down opposite Ye Dong and said with a smile: "This must be the mysterious master who subdued the innate high-level products with his bare hands, strangled his neck, and made him have no power to resist.

"My name is Severe Winter. Ye Dongdao, "That day was a little luckier, plus that paragraph was stupid and careless, and he didn't take me seriously at all, I took advantage of his unpreparedness, so I was lucky to restrain him." ”

"Ye Dong?" Chu Tiankuo's eyes twitched, and his face changed instantly, a little ugly.

"It's not Ye Dong, it's a harsh winter. Chu Xiongxin corrected with a smile.

Chu Tiankuo looked at Ye Dong carefully, if Ye Dong was not wearing a mask, he would definitely recognize it.

But two years have passed since they met, and both of them have changed a lot, and it is difficult to recognize them without looking at their faces, only listening to their voices, and only looking at their figures.

Ye Dong's heart was bright, but his face pretended to be unaware, and said, "What's wrong?"

Chu Tiankuo has always been very deep in the city, although he had doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it, as if nothing happened, he said with a smile: "It's okay, I just heard your name wrong, I thought it was an old friend." ”

Ye Dong had the heart to tease him, and said: "I don't know where this friend of Chu Gongzi is, it is so similar to the name below, and it makes Chu Gongzi remember it so much, it seems that it should not be simple." ”

Chu Tiankuo smiled proudly and said, "He was indeed out of the limelight at the beginning, but after all, he came from a small place, and the pattern is still too small. ”

Ye Dong's eyes rolled and said, "Chu Gongzi's comment, if Ye Dong knew about it, I don't know how he would feel." ”

"It's just a homeless person who has fled to the end of the world, and it's not worth wasting saliva on you and me. When Chu Tiankuo said this, he seemed to be thirsty, so he took a sip of the teacup.

Chu Xiongxin looked at Chu Tiankuo and said, "By the way, Kuo'er, how about the thing I handed over to you?"

Chu Tiankuo put down the teacup and glanced at Ye Dong.

Ye Dong understood what he meant, got up and said, "Master Chu, I think I'd better avoid it." ”

Chu Xiongxin stretched out his right hand, pressed it weakly, and said, "Xiaodong, you don't have to avoid it, it's good for you to listen to this matter, and it's good to give me some advice." ”

As he spoke, he turned to Chu Tiankuo again, showing a reproachful expression, and said dissatisfiedly: "Kuo'er, this Yan Gongzi is not an outsider, from now on he will be like an old king, you have to ask him for more advice." ”

"Yes," Chu Tiankuo nodded to Ye Dong, "I'm sorry, Brother Yan, I hope you don't mind." ”

Ye Dong sat down with a smile and said, "How could it be, Master Chu is so appreciative, it's too late to be grateful and happy." ”

Chu Tiankuo waited for Ye Dong to sit down, looked at Chu Xiongxin, and said, "The Zhang family agreed, but the Li family ......."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Ye Dong, and stopped talking, as if there was something unspeakable that was inconvenient to say.

Seeing this, Ye Dong said to Chu Xiongxin: "Master Chu, I suddenly feel unwell in my lower body, why don't I go and rest first." ”

Chu Xiongxin frowned, and a majestic momentum emanated, accentuating his tone, and said, "What I said is the wind in your ears?"

I don't know if this sentence is talking about Ye Dong or Chu Tiankuo.

Ye Dong watched them quietly, neither got up to leave, nor did he say anything more.

Seeing this, Chu Tiankuo continued: "The Li family heard that their father had recruited Yan Dong, and refused to agree to form an alliance and join forces to deal with the Wen family. ”

Chu Xiongxin said: "It's just a small thing, Li Chengkun's bearing is too small, it's okay not to form an alliance with us, as long as he doesn't get closer to the Wen family." ”

Chu Tiankuo said: "Although Li Chengkun is not very good, he still has some energy in Lizhou, and if he forms an alliance with the Wen family, it will cause us a lot of trouble." ”

"What do you mean?" Chu Xiongxin squinted his eyes and said.

"Kill!" Chu Tiankuo's five fingers of his right hand were put together into a knife, and he swung it down vigorously, his tone was calm, "Don't leave trouble!"

Chu Xiongxin pondered for a moment and said, "Is this necessary?"

Steward Wang said: "Li Chengkun is narrow-minded, he will repay him, and he connived at his son Li Hai to bully men and women, fish and flesh people, and kill him to do the right thing for heaven and eliminate harm for Lizhou." ”

"You're right, Yan Gongzi?"

Looking at Steward Wang's gentle smile, Ye Dong felt a chill in his heart, this guy is hidden deeply.

Chu Xiongxin also looked at Ye Dong and said, "Xiao Dong, in your opinion, should this Li Chengkun be killed?"

Ye Dong was silent for a moment and said, "I listen to Master Chu." ”

Chu Xiongxin nodded with satisfaction, then fell into a moment of thought, and said, "But, who will do it?"

Chu Tiankuo said with a smile: "I heard that Yan Gongzi has a gap with the Li family, I think it is most appropriate for him to do this matter." ”
