Chapter 2: The Secret
After a night of silence, Liu Chen opened his eyes early, and the constantly running internal qi made the injury on his back heal, and after washing, he pushed the door and came to the courtyard.
The little monk has moved to live with Wu Tong, the room that originally belonged to him was occupied by Xu Yuyao, and when he ate early, he listened to the sound of the wooden fish chanting in the seventeenth courtyard, and looked at Xu Yuyao, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks beside him, and hesitated for a long time, Liu Chen said softly: "I'm going out today, you go to find the sisters to play, maybe I will come back late, don't wait for me to eat." ”
"Go, come back early!" Xu Yuyao smiled, like a little wife who sent her husband out, walked to Liu Chen's side, tidied up his clothes and said, "You are just injured, don't have an argument with others!"
When he came to Huaqing Pond, Wu Tong had been waiting for Liu Chen here for a long time, looking at Liu Chen's soulless appearance, Wu Tong also had a bitter face, and comforted him with empathy: "Brother, you have suffered!"
"You didn't gloat?" Liu Chen was a little stunned by Wu Tong's extremely serious appearance, originally at this time, he should have ridiculed himself in various ways.
"Schadenfreude?" Wu Tong sneered, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his gaze was a little gloomy: " You don't know, how terrible this Bai Yujing's woman is, for this matter, our sword sect has the most right to speak, at the beginning, my ancestor was favored by the goddess of Bai Yujing, and finally made a family dare not go back, but stayed in the Sword Pavilion for more than ten years, your ancestor was not less than the goddess knocked on the door, in the end, the ancestor married the grandmother, if it were not for the high ancestor and they pressed, the army of Youzhou would have to fight with us, since then, the relationship between our Weizhou and Youzhou is very tense, you don't see, the last war in the northwest, all the princes can go, the soldiers and horses of Youzhou, just don't step into the boundary of Weizhou, tsk, this hateful mind, no one can compare to them. ”
"Then what should I do now?" Liu Chen's brows furrowed deeper, and his mind sank to the bottom, "At first, I met Xu Yuyao on the painting boat, and I haven't been crazy to this point, but now, I'm really punching the master to death, I don't know what to do, she's very smart, I don't have any bottom in my heart, and I'm not sure if all this is true or false!"
"Of course it's true!" Wu Tong patted him on the shoulder and said: "Bai Yujing's woman will not be easily emotional, but if she is emotional, she will be caught off guard, I have been looking at her like that these days, I really like you, according to some examples in the past, you have two ways to choose, one is the same as Senior Brother Chen Sheng, you are obedient, and second, you die." ”
"She can't die?"
"What is her identity, what is your identity now, Liu Chen was favored by Xu Yuyao, in the eyes of the world, it is a toad that eats swan meat, your attitude of avoiding it, if it falls into the eyes of the onlookers who don't know the truth, then I don't know what to do, people will say, 'Slut, it's hypocrisy!'"
"If it's Liu Yi, can you talk about these misunderstandings?"
"What about Liu Yi?" Wu Tong sneered, and sighed helplessly: "The eldest lady of the champion Hou, the first heir of the next Youguo Gong, is worthy of Liu Yi!"
Seeing that Liu Chen was silent, his face full of exhaustion was cloudy and uncertain, sometimes frowning, sometimes gritting his teeth, Wu Tong couldn't look past it, so he had to persuade him with good words: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, then Xu Yuyao is very good in all aspects, otherwise, you will follow, the relationship between the two of us is here, and it will depend on you to ease the relationship between us and Youzhou one day." ”
"Huh. Listening to Wu Tong's words, Liu Chen had a hard time, how could he not know that Xu Yuyao was very good, and even sometimes, looking at Xu Yuyao's eyes full of joy, the young man's vanity buried in the depths of his heart would also make him a little happy, but these insignificant pleasures could not make him completely put his mind at ease, there were too many secrets in his body, maybe what he would have to face in the future was the endless pursuit of those incomparably powerful enemies, and at that time, how should he deal with this too compromising feeling.
What's more, on that breezy afternoon, there was a fluttering figure in white, unconsciously, it came to his heart, recalling that very ordinary face, Liu Chen smiled slightly, and followed Wu Tong to the boat.
"Done, right?"
"Don't worry, the person has already made an appointment, it's on the painting boat, the Zhou family's Accord, no one will be suspicious!"
"Thank you!"
"No, I'll wait for you at Senior Brother Chen, I know you're doing something behind my back, in fact, you can take me, brother, shouldn't you share weal and beyond?"
got on the boat, Wu Tong walked away alone, Liu Chen looked left and right, but he didn't see Qianqian, it was strange to say, since the assassination of Zhao Jie, Liu Chen has never seen her again, that beautiful and somewhat unspoken girl, just disappeared into Liu Chen's life out of thin air, and I don't know if I can see her again in the future.
found the steward, a middle-aged man with a wide heart and a fat body, under his guidance all the way, Liu Chen came to the door of the Zhou family in the Medicine King Valley, this place, the choice is really good, alone in the stern, surrounded by fences, and there is no Accord close to it, the middle-aged steward brought Liu Chen to the door of the Accord and bowed down.
The hustle and bustle on the boat was far away, Liu Chen was a little nervous, some fearful, all kinds of emotions, all kinds of emotions filled his whole body, standing still quiet in the Accord, as if no one was there at all, if it weren't for the "Do Not Disturb" lantern hanging overhead, Liu Chen at this moment was a little doubtful about Wu Tong's ability to do things.
"Squeak!" It took a long time for Liu Chen to finally calm down, raise his hand and push open the door, and what caught his eye was the antique furnishings in the room, simple and graceful.
The window leaning towards Huaqing Pool was opened, and a tall middle-aged man was facing away from him, standing quietly, like a sculpture, Liu Chen looked at him with a complicated face, where the water and the sky met, the person was not hidden in the world after all, and appeared in front of his eyes again.
"Hello!" Liu Chen closed the door with his backhand and arched his hand towards the back, "I've kept you waiting!"
The man turned around and looked at Liu Chen with a smile, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "It's a pity that I didn't bring a fishing rod, this Huaqing Pond Mountain is good and the water is good, and the fish in it should be very delicious." ”
"If you like, I'll ask the kitchen to make boiled fish at noon. ”
"No!" The middle-aged man is none other than Liu Chen's third uncle, Liu Shayun, after Chen Sheng left last night, Liu Chen looked for Wu Tong and asked him to make an appointment with Liu Shayun to draw a boat for him, the last time we met in the welcome building was a long time ago, I saw Liu Shayun again, Liu Chen's heart was a different taste, the throbbing from the blood always made him the most determined, the line of defense was lost, and he was speechless.
