Chen Che and Shen Kunpeng came to the headquarters of Tiantong Trading Company in Shenhuo City. This time he was not wearing a mask.
Fan Yu looked at Chen Che's young face, feeling as if a storm was rising in his heart.
In fact, Tiantong Trading Company received some information very early on, saying that Mr. Xu of the Qiucun Alliance and Chen Che, a true disciple of the Shenhuo Sect, are likely to be the same person.
But he has always been unwilling to believe it.
After all, Chen Che is only in his early twenties. Entering the Qi Transformation Realm at this age is already a rare genius in Daxia for decades...
Mr. Xu is a master at the peak of Xuanqi Realm.
Reaching the peak of the Xuanqi realm in his early twenties is too outrageous.
But today he finally saw Mr. Xu’s true face with his own eyes...
Surprisingly, it was Chen Che from the Shenhuo Sect!
This time this person came to Tiantong Trading Company to directly show his true face. Could it be that he has...
Fan Yu's Adam's apple rolled and he stopped thinking about it.
"Shop Manager Fan, did you get the information I asked you to get?"
Chen Che asked softly.
"I called...I heard about it, please wait a moment."
Fan Yu replied cautiously. After that, he turned around and walked to the shelf behind him, then took down a small wooden box from the shelf and placed it on the table.
Opening the small wooden box, it was filled with papers filled with writing.
"Mr. Chen, in addition to the detailed information on the thirty Jinshi scholars from twenty-one years ago, here are also the information on all the second-rank and above officials in the previous imperial court. Please take a look."
Fan Yu whispered.
"Ahem..."
Chen Che coughed twice, then walked to the small wooden box and began to read through it carefully.
According to the data, a total of thirty Jinshi were born in the scientific examination twenty-one years ago...
The first piece of information in this pile contains the names of thirty Jinshi scholars.
Chen Che saw the name Chen Zhao at a glance.
It's just that there is a "missing" note behind the name.
Naturally, Chen Che would not take these two words seriously.
If that person really disappeared, he wouldn't have encountered so many things in Stone Fire City.
…
Chen Che read through the information about these Jinshis one by one, while constantly analyzing them in his mind.
Since the father who has never been seen needs to be dealt with so carefully by a big force like Jishi Alliance, it means that he is definitely not a small official.
Even if there is no supreme minister, it must be second grade or above.
There are less than twenty Beijing officials above second rank in Daxia in the whole of Daxia.
Very early on, he had seen a similar list from his teacher and memorized the names of the twenty people with the highest official positions.
It's just that he has only known the names of these people until now. As for their birth ages, he doesn't know anything about them.
Today, all the information of these people was placed in front of him.
"Ji Shi Meng wants to deal with him, which means he is not from Ji Shi Meng's faction.
In addition, he is probably not from the Fengyi Army.
If he is from the Fengyi Army, the teacher will let me know.
So he can only be from the Imperial City Army faction, or from other factions."
When Chen Che thought about this, he immediately screened out ten of the twenty senior officials.
Among the remaining ten people, he screened out some who were too far apart in age, and finally only five people remained.
Then Chen Che began to take out the list of Jinshi and compare it with these five people one by one.
Even if Chen Zhao changes his name, he must obtain Jinshi status before he can become an official.
Therefore, his changed name is probably also on the list of Jinshi.
After a while, Chen Che selected two people from the list of Jinshi.
Both of them obtained the title of Jinshi through special means.
One of them is named Li Shuyuan, who was the successor to the imperial examination after Chen Zhao disappeared.
Before the war started, this man had already served as Minister of War.
At the same time, Li Shuyuan was still among the five people selected by Chen Che.
The other person’s name is Xu Shi…
This person was the Jinshi who was recommended by the Great Xia Academy based on the quota.
This Xu Shi had a great reputation. He had been the Prime Minister of Daxia for eight years before the war started. He was truly inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Legend has it that the suggestion to build the Lieyang Palace was put forward by this man, so this man had a very bad reputation among the people.
Both Li Shuyuan and Xu Shi belonged to the old imperial party.
To put it simply, these two people were loyal to the late emperor and did not belong to any faction of the Imperial City Army or the Fengyi Army of the Jishi Alliance.
"Li Shuyuan...Xu Shi..."
Chen Che muttered these two names softly.
Not surprisingly, one of these two people is his father whom he has never met.
Chen Che continued to read the information.
According to the data, after the death of the late emperor, a great war broke out within the capital.
Li Shuyuan, the Minister of War, and Xu Shi, the Prime Minister, both disappeared after that battle.
Their families were secretly sent out of the capital by masters, and there has been no news to this day.
"Both people are missing..."
Chen Che secretly gritted his teeth.
There are thirty-seven states in this country. How difficult is it to find two missing people?
Not to mention the current chaos of war...
Disappearance sometimes means death.
…
"Master Chen...how are you? Are you satisfied with the information we provided?"
Seeing Chen Che's expression changing continuously and his whole body beginning to emit an astonishing cold air, Fan Yu asked fearfully.
Nowadays, there are still rumors circulating in Shenhuo State that Mr. Xu may not have much time left.
Although he was backed by Tiantong Trading Company, he could not help but feel frightened when faced with an unscrupulous warrior in the Tongshen Realm who only had a limited time left.
"well enough."
After Chen Che responded indifferently, he asked: "How much balance should I give to your Tiantong Trading Company?"
Fan Yu quickly shook his head and said: "Mr. Chen, let's forget about the golden ticket... let's just say that we, Tiantong Trading Company, will have a good relationship with you, Mr. Chen."
"Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Fan. I'll take these information back with you."
Chen Che said and closed the wooden box.
"Mr. Chen, it's easy."
Fan Yu said respectfully.
"Well, farewell."
After Chen Che said this, he picked up the wooden box and took Shen Kunpeng with him, turned around and left Tiantong Trading Company.
…
On the way back, Chen Che fell into deep thought.
Now there are only two ways to find out the truth.
The first way is to find Li Shuyuan and Xu Shi and ask them directly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The second way is to go to the capital and capture the top leaders of Jishi League or Imperial City Army alive, and then ask them about the situation.
Since the Jishi Alliance sent people to Stone Fire City to look for him in the first place, there is a high probability that they know some truth.
In addition, the Imperial City Army also sent people to kill him, indicating that they also knew some hidden secrets.
To be honest, Chen Che really wanted to take the first path.
Because some things are more credible only when faced face to face.
But if he really couldn't find those two people, he would have no choice but to take the second route.
Now Daxia is almost unified...
He wants to go to the capital to capture high-level officials alive. You can imagine how difficult it is.
Thinking of this, Chen Che subconsciously took out a soul nourishing pill from his arms and swallowed it.
Although he has entered the realm of divine connection, his strength has not yet reached the point where he cannot advance further.
He plans to continue to work hard to cultivate and improve his strength while looking for someone.
…
When we returned to our stronghold in the mountains, the snow had completely stopped.
In front of the house, Wang Rou was sweeping away the snow.
Seeing Chen Che coming back, she immediately put down the broom.
"Che'er, I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you have time to come back today?"
Chen Che looked at his mother's haggard face and said helplessly: "Mom, it's not like no one is doing these things, so why do you have to work yourself so hard?"
"It's not a heavy job, it's okay, and it's always good to move more."
Wang Rou said with a smile.
At this point, Wang Rou paused and whispered: "Che'er, I heard some news that the Fengyi Army seems to have been defeated, right?"
"Um."
Chen Che nodded slightly.
Wang Rou looked at Chen Che's pale face, with a trace of reluctance flashing in her eyes, and said softly: "Che'er, to be honest, I didn't expect you to have such talent in martial arts training...
I heard from people in the Shenhuo Sect that if you want to step into a higher realm, you need to leave Daxia, right?"
"Yes."
Chen Che responded again.
"If you want to leave, just go..."
This world is very broad, and I don’t want to be a burden to you.”
Wang Rou gently wiped the snow off Chen Che's shoulders and said with a smile.
Chen Che's nose felt sore and he forced out a somewhat ugly smile.
"Mom, don't worry. If I leave Daxia, I will definitely take you and uncle with me."
"But I heard that I want to leave Daxia..."
Before Wang Rou finished speaking, she was interrupted by Chen Che: "What others can't do, your son can do it."
At this point, Chen Che changed the subject and said directly: "Mom, I have begun to investigate my father's affairs."
Wang Rou's expression froze when she heard this, and her eyes instantly became extremely complicated.
After a moment, she sighed softly and said: "What else are we checking? Most likely, he is no longer alive."
Seeing his mother's face full of longing, Chen Che's heart ached.
At this moment, he suddenly realized.
Why did he want to find out about this matter?
Isn’t it for mother?
But if the truth is too cruel, can mother accept it?
"Mom, what kind of person do you think my father is?"
Chen Che asked softly.
When Wang Rou heard this, a trace of reminiscence flashed in her eyes, and she replied softly:
"He's a very good... very honest man."
Chen Che didn't know what to say for a moment when he heard this.
If he found out the truth and found out that one of the two people was Chen Zhao, and it was confirmed that Chen Zhao had abandoned his wife and son.
When the time comes to tell my mother the truth, will she be able to bear it?
In comparison, it would be better to tell her that the man did indeed die on the way.
"Che'er, if you find anything, just tell me directly. No matter what the result is, I can accept it."
Wang Rou whispered.
"Well... don't worry, mother, I will tell you the results as soon as possible."
Chen Che solemnly agreed.
"You haven't been back for almost a month. Mom, let me cook you a meal first."
Wang Rou changed the topic.
"good."
Chen Che smiled and agreed, but he was entangled in his heart.
Because he doesn't know what kind of truth... is the truth that can cure his mother's heart disease.
