Chapter 1: Reckoning
"It's okay!" Sitting quietly at the door, Liu Chen looked at Chen Sheng, who was wearing a green shirt, and walked from afar, the sad look on his face was suddenly swept away, and when Chen Sheng came to his side, listening to his voice, Liu Chen had the urge to cry.
In the past few days, he was injured, Xu Yuyao took over the eighteenth courtyard as the hostess, and now, the little monk did not dare to go out, Wu Tong also disappeared without a trace, and finally waited until Chen Sheng came, Liu Chen secretly cheered in his heart: "Finally, relieved!"
"Yo, brother-in-law is here!" Chen Sheng's smile instantly froze, in Liu Chen's expectant but puzzled gaze, his forehead was already covered with black lines, far away, Xu Yuyao walked out of the kitchen, put a plate of peeled fruit on the small table between the two, and then sat next to Liu Chen, looked at Chen Sheng with a smile and said, "Brother-in-law came to see me?"
"Jade. The corners of Chen Sheng's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but interrupt: "There are some things to find Liu Chen for my brother, do you think it can be convenient?"
"Convenient?" Xu Yuyao stood up, her good-looking eyes kept scanning Liu Chen and Chen Sheng, making the two extremely embarrassed, and after waiting for a long time, she chuckled, raised her feet and walked outside: "Okay, brother-in-law has spoken, I will give you a convenience, don't take too long!"
Looking at Xu Yuyao walking away, Liu Chen breathed a heavy sigh of relief and said, "Senior brother, what the hell is going on, this person can't be a demon barrier!"
"The women who came out of the Guanghan Palace are all like this. Chen Sheng sighed lightly with a bitter face, picked up a fruit and ate it slowly: "Yuyao's senior sister is my brother's fiancΓ©e. β
"No wonder you don't take the emperor and them in your eyes, it turns out that they came out of the Guanghan Palace, no wonder. Liu Chen's face showed a burst of confusion, looked up at Chen Sheng, and asked again: "Senior brother came today, is there anything wrong with looking for me?"
"You wait. After speaking, Chen Sheng closed his eyes solemnly, spread out his internal breath and looked around, seeing that no one was listening, then leaned forward and approached Liu Chen and said, "Tomorrow, you go to Mr. Shayun to do a favor." β
"Third uncle?" Liu Chen was a little puzzled, and one of the actions of pouring tea was sluggish: "What are you looking for him?"
"On the day we worked, find a way for your third uncle to drag Xu Hou!" Chen Sheng's eyes narrowed, raised his face to look at Liu Chen, and said: "If it is not necessary, the organization does not want to confront Langyawei too early, this series of assassinations has made them suspicious, and several shopkeepers still don't want to completely tear their faces with Langyawei." β
"Since you don't want to fight Langyawei, why did we assassinate that Zhao Jie?"
"The position of the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites is related to the Qionglin Banquet in three years, the key to the Nine Holy Pagoda is that the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites is in charge, and it must be replaced by our people, and there is no way to participate as a brother at that time, and you must take the leader of the Qionglin Banquet for the organization!"
"Chief?" Listening to Chen Sheng's story, Liu Chen's brows furrowed, what is the Qionglin Banquet, it is a major event once every five years in the entire Eastern Continent, when the time comes, all the young talents under the rank of the world will gather in Chang'an, and the competition will be discussed, which is also the direct basis for the ranking of the Tianji Kun List, Tianjiao, who has won the top ten, will also have the opportunity to enter the Nine Saints Pagoda for enlightenment, which is where the Holy Ancestor and the Nine Saints have a lifetime of understanding, for such an opportunity, anyone knows how fierce the competition of the Qionglin Banquet will be, the first in the world, Liu Chen really never thought about itγ
"Yes, Chief!" Chen Sheng smiled slightly, raised his teacup and gestured to Liu Chen: "The road that I have walked for my brother before, now it is your turn to walk on it, the Martial Spirit Palace, has always been the first in the world, several shopkeepers are, I am, you must also be!"
"In three years, can I reach the peak of contemplation?"
"It's okay to be a brother with a seven-grade talent, why can't you have a nine-grade talent?"
"Then I take the liberty of asking, what is everything we have done in the Martial Spirit Hall for?"
"I don't know too much about the specifics, in the organization, the cultivation of the elder brother is low, and I know very little, but the only thing that is certain is that everything we do today is to make most people live a better life tomorrow!"
Liu Chen nodded, leaned back on the seat slightly, and hid his cheeks in a place where the sun couldn't shine.
"In a few days, you will accompany me to Changle Fang. β
Liu Chen was silent, glanced at Chen Sheng with a puzzled face, and after being quiet for a while, Chen Sheng slowly said again: "We are short of people, according to the meaning of a few shopkeepers, we can do business with Nachangle Fang." β
"Are those outlaws reliable?"
"As long as you have money, as long as your fists are hard enough, there are no unreliable people in this world!" As the sun set, the room flickered brightly and darkly, making Chen Sheng's face not so clear, and the two looked at each other quietly, each pretending to be worried, "I heard that you have a task in Changle Fang, when you have nothing to do, do more of their tasks, and if something happens in the future, you can let them take the blame." β
"Senior brother, say something you shouldn't say. After being silent for a long time, I saw that Xu Yuyao was already standing under the old locust tree, the breeze was blowing her hair, and the remnant sun pulled her shadow to the old elder, although the girl was beautiful, Liu Chen couldn't move.
Chen Sheng followed Liu Chen's gaze and looked at Xu Yuyao, and said with some understanding in his heart: "I guess she really likes you, in short, no matter what, don't hurt others." β
"Have you ever wondered if she has seen something, Xu Hou is her father, so close to me, we can't not think about it, and besides, what we have to do is relatively secretive, she is always around me, it is always an unstable factor. β
"And what do you want to do?"
"Now there is no way, when this matter is done, I can withdraw my hand to deal with her affairs, and at the moment, I still need to hurry up my cultivation and improve my strength. β
After talking about things, Chen Sheng refused Xu Yuyao's stay as if he was leaving, and left the eighteenth courtyard quickly, looking at the oncoming girl, Liu Chen's mind was complicated, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
"My master said that a woman can only be loyal to one man in this life, if she can't get it, then destroy it, so that no one can succeed!"
This kind of words with a serious warning came out of Xu Yuyao's mouth, and a table of sumptuous dinner fell into his mouth, but it was like chewing wax.
Slowly putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Liu Chen smiled slightly, met Xu Yuyao's gaze and whispered: "Since you have made everything clear, I just want to ask you, what are you going to do?"
"I used to think that the men in this world were too frustrated, and Miss Ben couldn't look down on any of them, until I met you, it turned out that I didn't like it, but what I liked was a simple and rough man like you, and I didn't want to do anything, and I didn't have those calculations in your heart, as long as you marry me, that's all. β
"Shouldn't girls be a little more reserved?"
"Reserved, women are also people, why can they only passively accept your men's giving or giving up, Senior Brother Chen probably told you, I grew up in Guanghan Palace, and the women of Guanghan Palace have never accepted passive beatings!"
"But we've only known each other for a short time, and I don't like you. β
"Whether you like me or not is your business, it has nothing to do with me, as long as I like you, as for who you will like in the future, man, three wives and four concubines are normal, as long as you are willing, whoever you like tells me, I will arrest her for you!"
