Chapter 108 The royal family came with arrogance (8000)
In the dark night, Hong Fan spat out these two words.
It is completely different from her superficial seductiveness, full of desolation and coldness.
As she uttered these two words, an old man about fifty years old appeared in the darkness.
The old man bowed his waist and held a walking stick in his hand. Every time he took a step, his body would tremble. Although he was nearly half a hundred years old, he already looked like he was dying.
"Owner."
"From now on, don't do anything, just like usual, don't have any other thoughts." Hong Fan looked up at the moon in the sky and said slowly.
The old man was slightly surprised, but then nodded, agreed, and didn't ask anything else.
He didn't ask much about this matter, but there was one more thing that kept lingering in the old man's mind. After thinking about it, the old man decided to speak out.
"Is there really no need for the rest of the Chen family to instigate rebellion?" the old man asked.
Hong Fan withdrew her gaze, the veil on her body was blown by the wind, and slowly raised her hand, pressing it on the old man's shoulder: "I'm not an idiot like Gui Qi, what I need is absolute safety, the rest of your Chen family , If you really instigated rebellion, it would be a good thing, if not, it would be a bad thing, you are the head of the Chen family, as long as you are under control, I don't worry about the rest."
Hearing what Hong Fan said, the old man turned his head again, looking at the white arm on his shoulder, his eyes were burning.
With the influence of gravity, the veil on the arm slipped a little, revealing the fair skin, which continued to the elbow, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark.
Red Fen noticed the old man's gaze, and a smile appeared on her face. There was a bit of softness in this smile: "You can rest assured, if this matter is finished, I will be yours."
The old man swallowed and nodded hard.
This old man is the head of the Chen family. After being charmed by the pink, he became the slave of the pink.
"Let's go." Hong Fan seemed less interested and waved her hand.
The eviction order had been issued, and the Patriarch of the Chen family didn't stay any longer, turned around and left directly.
Red Fen kept staring at the back of the Patriarch of the Chen family until he disappeared into the long night before looking away.
In the darkness, there was a hint of pink breath circulating, slowly returning to Hong Fan's body, and Hong Fan's momentum became even higher.
Charm is one of the abilities, and the other is the technique of replenishment.
The so-called nourishing technique is not between the bed, as long as you are charmed by her, it will be slowly affected by her as time goes by, until all the strength is absorbed by her.
"This new magistrate is really not a simple character, and that Xu Bai is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. The situation in Yunlai Mansion is too subtle."
Hongfen raised her head again, looking at the full moon in the sky, what she was thinking about was the future plan.
She can only hold back temporarily now.
The dark building was placed in Yunlai's residence. She and Gui Qi knew each other, but they didn't know anyone else.
Now she has no contact information of other members. Unless the person in charge here contacts her, she will not know the news of other members.
Gui Qi died, and he didn't know what he said before he died.
Anyway, she must keep a low profile now, at least until the storm of this period passes and everything calms down before she can make a decision before making a move.
The weather at night is still very cold. Thinking of this, Hong Fan felt a little cold all over her body. She tightened her pink collar and walked in another direction.
…
Yunlaifu.
In the blink of an eye, several days have passed. After this period of time, Xu Bai has nothing to do.
Liu Er was re-arranged by him into the Yinyi. Liu Er was in charge of the affairs of the Yinyi. If there was anything, he would send a message to him through Feige.
He stayed in Yunlai Mansion, waiting for the so-called Chen family to show his feet.
While waiting, he took out another mind method, which is the same as Zixiao Yushu, and also obtained from the royal treasure house.
This mind method is called Gangfeng Jue
When the progress bar was increasing, Xu Bai also looked at it roughly, and he could understand many things, after all, he is now a fifth-rank Loose Man.
The so-called Gangfeng Jue is a particularly useful mental method, and it is extremely important for martial arts below the second rank.
Actually, up to now, Xu Bai has almost understood some basic common sense about martial arts.
In this rivers and lakes, there are as many professions as a cow's hair, and various professions are constantly blending with each other, which can be described as a hundred flowers blooming.
But when it comes to combat effectiveness, each has its own strengths, among which martial arts melee combat is the best.
However, for warriors below the second rank, what they lack is always the long-range attack ability. Unless they use hidden weapons, they will be far behind in long-distance.
Of course, all of this can be compensated by body skills, but this compensation will always be weaker than direct attacks.
After reaching the second rank, when the true energy is strong enough to a certain level, it can be released through the body. At that time, it is the time to sweep a large area.
Before this, for some long-distance professions, martial arts can be said to be a more difficult profession.
In order to make up for the shortcomings of this profession, those amazingly talented warriors, after continuous study day and night, finally studied many solutions with their strong enough perseverance.
One of them is Gang Feng Jue.
The so-called Gangfeng Jue is actually a method of simulating true energy coming out through the body.
Using a specific way of infuriating energy can generate a violent wind between waving hands, and this wind can even produce huge destructive power.
To a certain extent, this can make up for the lack of attack distance of Wu Fu, but it is only limited to before the second rank, because the power of Gangfeng will be much weaker than that of Zhenqi Penetrating Body.
But it is already very useful, especially for martial arts before the second rank, it greatly meets their needs.
Does Xu Bai need it?
Yes, of course.
At present, what he can completely call long-distance is only one hidden weapon technique, but now, this hidden weapon technique does not seem to be enough.
Maple Leaf Ruyu is always only at the second level. Even if the black light of the Vajra Heart Demon Body is wrapped on the copper coin, the power will be greatly increased, but the technique is still only at the second level.
So the current Gangfeng Jue is extremely important to Xu Bai, it can improve his strength qualitatively, not to mention that it is a method of heart, and it can also enhance his essential strength.
Looking at the half-finished progress bar, Xu Bai was quite satisfied.
At present, if he is lucky, he will be able to complete the progress bar of this mental method before the abnormality occurs in the Chen family, and then he will be able to add a lot of methods.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai looked forward to it even more.
At this moment, there were footsteps outside the door, Chu Yu poked his head out from the door, and looked at Xu Bai's expression curiously.
"Master, today's morning class is about to start!" Chu Yu shook the brand new notebook in his hand, looking excited.
She had already used up the old one, and then carefully hid it, taking it out for review every day. Now, she got a new small notebook from nowhere.
Every morning is the time for routine morning classes. At this time, Xu Bai will explain some ways of doing things to Chu Yu.
Chuyu also studies very fast. She listens carefully to every day's study and does a good job of reviewing.
After a long time, Xu Bai's view of Chu Yu has also changed greatly.
This girl who has no experience in the world, at least when she is studying, her respect for others is obvious.
When studying, she doesn't question or say anything, and listens carefully. Only when the study is over, will she lift up her precious little notebook and ask her doubts.
"Come in." Xu Bai put down the Gang Feng Jue in his hand, beckoned to Chu Yu, and pointed to the seat next to him.
Chu Yu rolled her eyes, walked into the room bouncingly, and sat on it naturally.
Then, she took out a paper bag from her chest again, and handed it to Xu Bai.
"Master, hot buns, I just came back after breakfast."
Every morning, Chu Yu would go out to have breakfast, and he would go very early, so that he could bring breakfast back as soon as Xu Bai got up.
Apart from other things, Chu Yu has done a good job in being careful.
As for whether it will be poisoned if it is released to eat indiscriminately, Xu Bai is completely at ease.
When one day, Chu Yu pointed out the Bailie poison painted on Xu Baidao, and said that she was in the palace, her uncle, that is, His Majesty the Emperor, often taught her these things, and she already knew thousands of ways to identify poisons.
From then on, Xu Bai expressed that he was very relieved.
Moreover, he had a deeper understanding of the emperor.
At least from what Chu Yu showed, the emperor cared more about Chu Yu than his own children.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai glanced at the oil stains at the corner of Chu Yu's mouth and smiled.
"Did you eat a lot again?"
"Three! A bowl of porridge!" Chu Yu danced and replied excitedly, "It's better than the stuff in there!"
There, of course, is in the palace.
Xu Bai shook his head, and pointed directly: "It's not that it's more delicious than there, it's because you like novelty things, for example, this market atmosphere makes you think it's more delicious."
Chu Yu tilted his head, frowned and thought for a while, and felt that what Xu Bai said made sense, so he agreed: "The young master is right."
With this expression, it seems that Xu Bai told her that sugar is salty, and she would nod in agreement.
After this period of time, Chu Yu and Xu Bai have become more and more familiar with each other, and Chu Yu is not as restrained as before. Whenever the two of them are alone, they will show that heartless look.
In Chu Yu's view, what Xu Bai taught her is very useful, and the most important thing is to save her own life.
The most important thing is that Chu Yu discovered that Xu Bai was actually not as scary as he imagined. If he was one of his own, he was still very good, even very kind.
With this discovery, Chu Yu completely let go.
"Hey hey." Chu Yu laughed foolishly, staring at the paper bag with **** and white eyes: "Eat it quickly, it will be cold later."
Xu Bai looked at the steamed stuffed bun in his hand and didn't say anything more. After eating a few mouthfuls, he took a sip of tea.
"Next time buy two more."
Compared to the buns in Sheng County, the buns in Yunlaifu are more authentic and taste better.
"Yeah!" Chu Yu nodded vigorously, then stared at Xu Bai pitifully with big eyes.
This look, as if he has been wronged.
"What's the matter with you?" Xu Bai said helplessly.
He has figured out one thing now, as long as Chu Yu looks at him with such eyes, there must be something wrong.
"I... have no money." Chu Yu rubbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, made a very pitiful look, and said coyly: "Uncle said that the girl should be rich, so he gave me a lot of money. I still have a lot of money. But my father said again that his daughter must not be entangled in rich clothes and fine food, so he only gave me some daily expenses and took away all my other money."
While speaking, Chu Yu's voice became more and more aggrieved.
Xu Bai raised his hand and rubbed between his brows: "Your Highness's way of teaching is really unique."
Seeing Chu Yu's pitiful state, Xu Bai took out some money from his pocket and handed it to Chu Yu.
"Are these enough?"
"Enough is enough!" Chu Yu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, carefully took out a beautiful purse from her waist, put all the money in it, and carefully hung it back on her waist, as if it was very precious.
"Okay, let's start today's class." Xu Bai stretched, planning to finish teaching Chu Yu quickly so that he could continue to work on the progress bar.
Chu Yu picked up the small notebook, pretended to be concentrating, and was ready to start listening to the class.
Xu Bai picked up the teacup again, took a sip of tea, and prepared to explain today's lesson again.
Cleared his throat slightly, and when he was about to start, a voice interrupted him.
"Flipped Leng Leng..."
The sound of flapping wings came, Xu Bai turned his head, and found a carrier pigeon staying in the yard.
There is a ring tied to the foot of the carrier pigeon, and a piece of letter paper is contained in the ring, which is rolled into a long strip.
"Wait a minute." Xu Bai frowned, got up and went to the backyard, grabbed the carrier pigeon, pulled out the letter paper inside, and put the carrier pigeon on the table.
This is a message from Yinyi, which was delivered to him by Liu Er.
When Liu Er returned to Yinyi, Xu Bai said that once there is any news, he will be notified in time through the method of flying pigeons.
Xu Bai opened the letter paper, frowned slightly after seeing the content on it, and put the letter paper on the table.
"Seventh prince? It's interesting to be another member of the royal family."
According to the letter, the Seventh Prince's subordinates are in the Yinyi, and the purpose of coming here is for Xu Bai. He wants to see Xu Bai and let Xu Bai rush over there, but Liu Er can't grasp the proportion, so he flies first. Pigeon book.
Chu Yu looked at the letter paper on the table curiously, then Liu Mei frowned slightly, her face was full of displeasure: "So it's that guy."
"Oh? Do you know him?" Xu Bai touched his chin and asked.
"Among all members of the royal family, this Seventh Prince is the most arrogant." Chu Yu said.
"Arrogance?" Xu Bai said, "Isn't that courting death?"
The emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom has nine sons and daughters. The so-called seven princes rank up to the seventh son at most. Why is he the most arrogant one?
If a member of the royal family is arrogant, it is very likely that at some point, he will lose something very important, such as that life.
The life of the royal family members is not easy at all, every step is carefully, for fear that if they make a mistake, they will never recover.
The so-called arrogance is the key to getting people into the abyss.
Among the members of the royal family that Xu Bai knew, the Ninth Princess was extremely powerful and held great financial power, while the Sixth Prince, just the subordinate named Zhou Qing, could tell that he was not the kind of person who had no brains.
As for the eighth prince, he is purely unlucky.
And now, through Chu Yu's mouth, I learned that this guy named Seventh Prince is actually an arrogant person, and there is something in it.
It's amazing that an arrogant person, and a member of the royal family, can live to this day.
"He has a reason to be arrogant." Chu Yu scratched his head and said, "The concubine who gave birth to him is already dead, and she died on the battlefield. The uncle back then loved that concubine very much, so Aiwu and Wu Under the circumstances, he developed his character."
Speaking of this, Chu Yu stretched out his hand and gestured, with a hint of admiration on his face.
"At that time, my uncle was caught by a trick and was trapped on a mountain top, and his life was about to be lost. The concubine, one person and one sword, came in a surprise attack with three thousand soldiers and rescued the uncle, but he was also seriously injured. After returning to Beijing, he was raised for three months before passing away."
"It is said that when the concubine died, the uncle was still crying, crying loudly."
Xu Bai: "..."
Why does he always feel that Chu Yu has a special attribute, that is, he likes to gossip about others?
When it comes to the emperor crying loudly, his face is full of flames of gossip.
"It shouldn't be." Xu Bai thought to himself.
As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dogs and sons. The mother of the seventh prince is so brave and good at fighting. She can save the emperor from the sea of swords and fire with one person and one sword. How can her son be an arrogant person?
Besides, growing up in such an environment, it is even more impossible to give birth to such a character, which is too outrageous.
"Maybe it's an act." Xu Bai thought.
If it is pretending, it is possible.
But no matter what, he has already thought about how to respond to the meaning of the Seventh Prince's subordinates.
Xu Bai took a pen and paper, wrote on it, put it on the pigeon's leg, and let the pigeon fly.
Chu Yu watched from the side, and when she saw what Xu Bai wrote, she didn't say anything.
The content of the letter is very simple, just one sentence.
—I'm sick, and I'm staying in Yunlai Mansion to maintain my health. If I have to see him, let him come to see me.
Chu Yu thought to herself, how could she be sick if she was alive and kicking every day.
Didn’t even mention a good reason, this reason is fake at first glance, and it’s ridiculously fake.
"Okay, let's continue." Xu Bai continued to teach Chu Yu as if he had done a trivial matter.
In the room, Xu Bai's voice sounded, and the class continued slowly.
…
Yin post.
A middle-aged man in leather armor, with a giant hammer on his waist, was sitting on a chair, drinking tea.
Liu Er was also at the side, but he didn't care about the man in leather armor.
Since the man in leather armor came, he directly explained the topic, but the problem is that Xu Bai is not here, and Liu Er had to inform in advance, so he sent the pigeon to Yunlai Mansion.
During this process, the man in leather armor didn't leave, just sat there, drinking a sip of tea from time to time, and refilling the cup automatically.
"A nine-rank martial artist actually went to Fuyin Station to be the postmaster. It seems that your relationship is very strong." The man in leather armor drank another sip of tea, stared at Liu Er, and said.
Liu Er didn't answer, just doing his own thing.
In his opinion, no matter whether you belong to the Seventh Prince or someone else, he is following Xu Bai, and he doesn't care about others.
Xu Bai asked him to treat him well, and he would treat him well. If Xu Bai didn't like it, he wouldn't like it either.
No matter what line of work you do, you must be loyal. If you are not loyal, you will end up miserable.
The man in leather armor saw that Liu Er didn't answer, and felt that he was not interested. He didn't want to vent his anger here, so he put down the teacup in his hand, leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Time passed slowly, and after more than an hour, there was a fluttering sound, and a carrier pigeon landed on the window of the room.
Liu Er, with sharp eyes, walked over quickly, grabbed the carrier pigeon, and took out the letter paper inside.
Glanced at the contents above, and saw that there was nothing he needed to hide, he put the paper on the table and asked the man in leather armor to get it by himself.
The man in leather armor took a deep look at Liu Er, picked up the letter paper on the table, and scanned the content on it.
When he finished reading, anger burst out of his eyes, and blue veins popped on his forehead.
"I'm sick and I don't want to come here, which means I'm going to find him!"
"It's so courageous, even the Seventh Prince is not in your eyes!"
"Okay, okay, that's great, I'm going to meet him now, let me see what kind of person he is!"
A series of voices came from the mouth of the man in leather armor. Obviously, the man under the skin became extremely angry after seeing the above content.
He didn't stay any longer, stood up from the chair, strode directly, and walked outside, not even wanting to leave a word.
Liu Er didn't stop him. Looking at the back of the man in leather armor, he smiled disdainfully.
Ah…
With such a temper, if you dare to run over to look for Bodyguard Xu, isn't this asking for a dead end?
He has seen too much, he followed all the way from Sheng County, and he has already looked down on many things.
Anyone who offends Bodyguard Xu will end badly.
It seems that no one is alive yet.
A man in leather armor is simply asking for his own death.
Liu Er wiped the table in front of him clean, and threw out the bowl that the man in leather armor drank, with disgust all over his face.
"Maybe in a few days, he will be a dead person." Liu Er thought.
At this moment, the man in leather armor who was rushing to Yunlai Mansion didn't know what was waiting for him.
…
Yunlaifu.
In recent days, Yun Zihai has been completely troubled.
It is necessary to prevent any changes in the Chen family, but also to pretend that nothing has been discovered.
The whole process is very tangled, but he is still performing.
He was not in good health at first, coughing badly, but the hard work of the past few days has made his health even worse.
Poor health will then affect your mood. If you are in a bad mood, people will not become particularly irritable.
Don’t look at Yun Zihai’s usual appearance as a weak scholar, but he is actually a very strong person inside. When he has a bad temper, he sometimes speaks very aggressively.
Over the past few days, the servants in the government office did not dare to provoke him at all, and hid away when they saw him.
Only when facing Xu Bai, Yun Zihai could lose his temper a little bit.
Today is another calm day.
Yun Zihai sat in the lobby, flipping through the booklet in his hand, and arranging the things on it while reading.
Not only did he have to monitor the Chen family, he also had to spare time to learn about the current situation of Yunlai Mansion so that he could manage Yunlai Mansion later.
Every day is clearly arranged by him. If he is not a fifth-grade scholar, he may have felt exhausted long ago.
"Hey, brother Xu is better, live happily every day." Yun Zihai put down the last book, stretched his waist, and thought.
Compared with Xu Bai, he is like a very busy person who is tirelessly busy every day. The two of them present two completely different phenomena.
Of course, he just complained.
Everyone has everyone's dream and pursuit. Since he has this dream and pursuit, he will not complain.
"Let's take a rest today. I've finished reading what I need to read. The next step is to formulate a governance plan. But all of this will have to wait for the Chen family's affairs to be implemented."
Thinking of this, Yun Zihai stood up, ready to go back to the backyard to rest.
Having been busy for several consecutive days, he has a little free time today, and he wants to hurry up and relax.
Unexpectedly, before he could take two steps, there was a sudden sound of running outside the door.
A yamen servant ran in, leaned into Yun Zihai's ear, and whispered a few words.
Yun Zihai was taken aback for a moment, then sat back on his seat and waved his hand: "Let him in."
"Yes!" The yamen servant hurriedly resigned.
After a while, the man in leather armor was led in by the yamen servant and stood in front of Yun Zihai.
After the yamen servant brought it, he left in a hurry without staying too long.
The surrounding area was quiet, only Yun Zihai and the man in leather armor remained, and the two looked at each other.
"You belong to the Seventh Prince, so what's the matter?" Yun Zihai asked.
When he was talking, he couldn't help coughing a few times, his face was still pale as before.
"I'm under the Seventh Prince, Zhang Wang." Zhang Wang raised a token to show his identity, and then put it away: "I came here this time because I heard that Xu Bai is in Master Yun's mansion. I want to see you." one sight."
"Oh?" Yun Zihai frowned, "Why did you see Xu Bai?"
"I asked him to go back to Yinyi to look for me. I didn't expect him to be unwilling, and he said that he was ill. If that's the case, I'll come to see him." When Zhang Wang said this, he raised his head, his face full of arrogance.
In addition to arrogance, there is also a trace of anger mixed in it.
This kind of emotion can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, let alone Yun Zihai.
Yun Zihai fell into deep thought.
Looking at the situation, it is estimated that the seventh prince has something to do, but this guy is obviously very proud, and wants Xu Bai to go back to see him, but Xu Bai doesn't give him any face.
The most important thing is that this guy came here, obviously wanting to make trouble.
"Xu Bai's health is not good, and he feels cold recently, you should come back in a few days." Yun Zihai waved his hand.
Since Xu Bai didn't want to see him, he disappeared, and there was no need for Yun Zihai to bring this guy in.
As for the Seventh Prince, stop joking.
Perhaps the Seventh Prince didn’t know that Xu Bai was favored by King Shengyou. If you really counted the background, King Shengyou lost his temper and slapped the Seventh Prince. His Majesty probably wouldn’t say anything.
Zhang Wang was taken aback for a moment, and after he realized it, his tone became low: "Master Yun, what do you mean? Are you not even giving the Seventh Prince any face?"
The voice fell, and the atmosphere between the two parties became more and more strange and more dignified.
When Yun Zihai heard what Zhang Wang said, he became amused instead, and felt that this guy was very interesting.
"What? Don't you even want to find out the troubles of this official?"
"The villain doesn't have this idea, but whether the Seventh Prince has it or not, then maybe." Zhang Wang pointedly said.
"Snapped!"
Yun Zihai slapped the table and stood up: "Come on!"
Outside, five or six yamen servants came in, bent down and saluted, waiting for Yun Zihai's order.
"Seeing that the official doesn't kneel, let's hit 30 big boards first." Yun Zihai waved his sleeves and said.
"How dare you!" Zhang Wang stared directly at Yun Zihai, his eyes widened angrily.
In his opinion, he is a member of the Seventh Prince. In this situation, the government order should be flattering, at least they will fight directly without meeting each other, right?
"Do you dare to see me!" Yun Zihai said: "Yunlai Mansion is a mansion that I govern autonomously. Even if the Seventh Prince comes, he still needs to follow the rules of the mansion. Even if he doesn't need to salute, he will not say so. Drink me, as for you, what kind of thing are you!"
As soon as these words came out, the servants around looked at each other, and they knew that their lord had really lost their temper, so they rushed forward and prepared to take down Zhang Wang.
Zhang Wang held the giant hammer at his waist with his backhand, and was about to subconsciously fight back when he suddenly felt cold all over. When he turned his head, he saw Yun Zihai staring at him coldly with a brush in his hand.
A murderous aura enveloped him, and he had a feeling that if he fought back today, he would definitely die here.
Thinking about this, Zhang Wang let go of his hand, allowing the servants to capture him and press him on the bench.
"What you did today, do you have any consequences to consider?" Zhang Wang still didn't give up.
"Hit!" Yun Zihai was just one word.
Beside, the yamen servant raised the wooden stick in his hand and beat Zhang Wang.
These yamen servants are also masters of quality, and they also know that Zhang Wang is also a master of quality, so they use their strength every time.
The sound of slapping was endless, Zhang Wang gritted his teeth, his head was covered with sweat, but he looked at Yun Zihai with more hatred in his eyes.
Thirty big boards will be played soon.
"Get out!" Yun Zihai waved.
The yamen servants carried the watch, like a dead dog, and threw it outside the yamen.
Pedestrians around saw this scene and avoided it one after another.
Zhang Wang struggled to get up, glanced at the government office with hatred, and limped away.
After Zhang Wang was dealt with, Yun Zihai waved his hand and told the servants to leave before going back to the backyard to rest.
It seemed that he had dealt with a trivial matter, and it didn't bother him at all.
But I didn't expect to walk two steps, and at the corner, I saw Xu Bai.
Xu Bai raised his hand to say hello, then put his hand on his neck, and stroked it lightly.
