Chapter 104 The strange Zhentian Mansion

After bidding farewell to Gewanshan, Xu Chong set off on the same day and headed east at full speed. It took him a full month to reach Zhentianfu, the easternmost town in Daqing.

Judging from the abstract map, Zhentian Mansion is backed by the ocean, so logically it should be called Zhenhai Mansion more appropriately.

Xu Chong originally thought that the word "zhentian" was to cope with the specifications of the capital, but he didn't know until he arrived that it was more than that.

As a companion capital, the city wall of Zhentian City is far less flashy than that of the capital city, but... it is built on a mountain!

And this mountain... is too high!

No, it can’t be called a mountain, it should be called a mountain range!

This is a city built on a giant mountain!

"No wonder the capital is here. Just this sea of ​​clouds makes it possible for me to live here all my life."

Xu Chong stood on the edge of the cliff, just looking at the rolling sea of ​​clouds, the fatigue of traveling under the stars and night disappeared.

"Is this brother's first time coming to Zhentian?"

Someone next to me suddenly asked a question in a clear voice.

"It's indeed my first time here."

Xu Chong looked over with a smile.

He has a high-spirited figure, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and is wearing a sky-blue gown. He looks like a good young man...if you ignore the "city dweller"'s arrogant expression.

"Ha, I am Su Ruochen, a native of Zhentianfu."

As he said that, the young man dusted off the non-existent dust on his clothes and said, "Now, I want to keep my facial features straight."

"..."

Xu Chong was silent.

The five sense organs are upright, which is a subordinate position of Qin Tianjian. Their duty is to record changes in celestial phenomena and predict good and bad luck.

"Um?"

Seeing Xu Chong's expressionless face, Su Ruochen thought for a while and thought that Xu Chong didn't know what the concept of official was, so he added word by word: "Zheng, Ba, Pin."

The character "eight" is also deliberately emphasized.

"...It turned out to be Mr. Guan in person. I've really admired him for a long time."

Xu Chong had no choice but to bow his hand perfunctorily.

Then he saw Su Ruochen suddenly became serious.

"Long admiration?"

Su Ruochen stared into Xu Chong's eyes, "Where are you from, brother?"

"Uh, what happened to Zhang Hua Mansion?"

Xu Chong was stunned.

"Zhanghua Mansion... thousands of miles away?!"

Su Ruochen's eyes suddenly widened, and his voice began to tremble, "My name, Su Ruochen, has actually spread so far?"

"this……"

Xu Chong was dumbfounded.

He has never seen such a shameless person!

"Good brother!"

Su Ruochen grabbed Xu Chong's neck, like a close friend for many years: "I want to thank you. It was you who made me recognize myself...Tell me, what do you want, money? Beauty? Good wine?"

"Thank you, Brother Su, for your kindness..."

Xu Chong broke away calmly.

"What? Do you think I'm boasting about Haikou?"

Su Ruochen straightened her face, "I'm afraid you don't know my brother's importance in this Tianzhen City. It's no exaggeration to say that even if I'm supervising him, I have to sell my brother a little less."

"Jian Zheng?"

Xu Chong's heart moved slightly and he asked: "If I remember correctly, Qin Tian Jian Zhengzheng seems to be only the fifth rank, right? From what Brother Su said, why does it seem like Jian Zheng is bigger than the Sixth Division?"

"You don't know this."

Su Ruochen smiled enigmatically, "In terms of rank, the Liubu Department is naturally bigger, but in terms of status, the six Departments that accompany the capital together may not be as noble as Jianzheng, but I can't tell you this.

.”

"Oh yeah?"

Xu Chong looked at him calmly, with strong doubts in his tone.

"..."

How could Su Ruochen bear this grievance? He looked around and whispered: "I'm only telling you this, you can't tell others... Yuan Jianzheng's mother is His Majesty's wet nurse, and the two of them have eaten together since childhood. I didn’t say anything when I drank, but later I became a reading companion for His Majesty.”

"I know this."

Xu Chong continued to look at him calmly.

"..."

Su Ruochen was speechless, and then felt fierce in her heart.

I still don’t believe it when I step on the horse. I’ve been with Jian Zheng for so long, and I’m not as good as you, a foreigner?

Gritting his teeth, Su Ruochen lowered his voice a little lower: "Then you must not know why Yuan Jianzheng came to Zhentian."

"Isn't this a normal transfer?"

Xu Chong frowned.

He was nagging for a long time, trying to trick Su Ruochen into telling the truth. But even King Qian and Dou Tianyuan didn't know the reason why Yuan Shouyi left the capital. How could Su Ruochen know?

"Hehe, externally it is said that the transfer is normal, but in fact... it is not."

Su Ruochen regained her composure, her expression became clear again, and she even put her hands behind her back.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, her long hair swaying lightly in the majestic wind, she looked like a master...if she didn't have the words "Ask me quickly" on her face.

Xu Chong resisted the urge to push him off the cliff and asked: "Why is that?"

"hey-hey."

The master broke through the kung fu in a second, came over to him in a humble manner, and pointed his index finger to the sky: "I broke up with that guy over a woman."

"..."

Xu Chong was silent for a moment and shook his head: "I don't believe it."

"Don't believe it?! How can you not believe it?!"

In an instant, Su Ruochen became anxious, so anxious that he broke his voice, "I, Su Ruochen, whose reputation has spread thousands of miles, can I still deceive you? I don't want my reputation anymore?"

"Although I am not as good as Brother Su in background, I have heard about the affairs in the DPRK."

Xu Chong looked upright and said: "As far as I know, Yuan Jianzheng has never been with women in his life, and he has kept himself clean and has not even been contaminated by fireworks. How can he have a quarrel with His Majesty because of a woman?"

Half a month ago, Dou Tianyuan stopped him through 'space teleportation' again, and sent him customs clearance documents, appointment documents and other procedures, as well as Yuan Shouyi's files.

Now he doesn't just know the name Yuan Shouyi.

After a pause, Xu Chong said again: "Brother Su, you must not talk nonsense anymore, be careful of trouble coming from your mouth."

"..."

Su Ruochen's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.

Xu Chong looked at the sea of ​​clouds, the old god was waiting for the next step.

Suddenly, a chaotic breath came from around him.

Xu Chong's expression changed and he looked at Su Ruochen, and suddenly found that the other person's eyes had become extremely confused.

Humiliation, annoyance, unwillingness, resentment...

The cheerful and arrogant look just now is completely gone.

"This is!"

Xu Chong thought of Dou Tianyuan's words, and immediately moved his energy to the tip of his tongue, shouting like thunder: "——Brother Su!"

"……Um?"

Su Ruochen froze, and her eyes quickly returned to clarity: "Where did we just talk? Oh, woman, yes."

Xu Chong: "..."

"Originally, I didn't believe this either. I regarded it as gossip in Beijing and just listened to it."
