"Chen Qi, you are now the head of our Chen Royal Family, how could you take such a big risk..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I have my own plans. Although the Zhou family, the Fang family, and the Cai family are just clowns, if they can be dealt with in advance, it can relieve some pressure on the Chen royal family, right?"
"Having said that, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. How about I ask Tianxiong to mobilize tens of thousands of troops to go with you?"
"No need, these troops should be kept to deal with Yanyun's army."
"But……"
Chen Xiaotian wanted to say something else, but Chen Yinghao stopped him.
"Xiaotian, you don't have to persuade me. I believe that Chen Qi has his reasons for doing this."
Then, Chen Yinghao patted Chen Qi on the shoulder and said, "Chen Qi, you are the head of our Chen Royal Family, and the future fate of our Chen Royal Family will be in your hands.
I am not qualified to say anything to you here, but I still want to remind you that you must act within your ability in everything."
Chen Qi took a deep look at Chen Yinghao and responded, "Thank you, ancestor, for reminding me, I will spare you the trouble."
After saying that, Chen Qi turned and left.
When Chen Qi walked away, Chen Xiaotian couldn't help but asked, "Ancestor, why did you just agree to let Chen Qi go?
The Zhou family, the Fang family, and the Cai family are obviously inviting you to enter the urn, and Chen Qi's departure will probably bring more misfortune than good."
Chen Yinghao shook his head, "Not necessarily."
"Although I don't know Chen Qi very well, through my observations during this period, I know that he is not a reckless person."
"You are young, you are capable, you have authority, you are responsible, and you have to think carefully before doing anything."
"Perhaps he can really save our Chen royal family from fire and water?"
Chen Yinghao looked outside the courtyard at the figure that gradually disappeared into the light of dust, "Now, all we can do is wait and see whether he can create a miracle for our Chen royal family."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaotian couldn't find any reason to refute.
On Chen Qi's side, he walked out of Chen's mansion and got into a jeep.
From the driver's seat, Suzaku looked back and said, "Is it done?"
Chen Qi nodded, "Did you bring the things I asked you to bring?"
"Bring it."
Chen Qi nodded slightly, "Then, let's go."
[Dongzikou] is originally a small town that no one cares about, and its transportation and economy are not developed.
However, due to its proximity to Shangjing and its special landforms, mostly mountainous and forested areas, coupled with the large-scale government investment over the years, it has been developed into a tourist attraction.
Every holiday, there will be many tourists here, which is a good place to visit and watch.
Even in normal times, there are still a lot of people gathering here.
However, just yesterday, a force team with tens of thousands of troops suddenly settled here.
Some local residents, smelling a hint of gunpowder smoke, were afraid of getting themselves into trouble. Every household stayed behind closed doors, and tourists also evacuated overnight.
As a result, just one night later, the town changed from a bustling place to a deserted and desolate scene.
From [Shangjing] to [Dongzikou], as long as there is no traffic jam on the expressway, it only takes more than half an hour.
After getting off the expressway and passing by a post station, I suddenly smelled the aroma of scallion oil.
Chen Qi couldn't help but move his index finger, "It smells so good."
Zhuque smiled, "We were walking in a hurry this morning. It seems we didn't have time to have breakfast. Would you like to go get some?"
"Okay."
Afterwards, Suzaku drove to a stop in front of the inn, and the two of them got out of the car, ready to reward their wailing stomachs.
This is a fast food restaurant specializing in pasta.
The store is not big, but it is clean and tidy.
Since it is close to the highway exit, it probably serves some passing tourists on weekdays.
As soon as Chen Qi and Zhuque sat down, they saw a young girl with a ponytail walking up.
"Two guests, what would you like to eat?"
The little girl is about fifteen or sixteen years old. She should be the daughter of the owner of this shop. She came to help at some time?
"Two bowls of fat sausage noodles, add more spicy food, we love spicy food."
“Would you like some scallion pancakes?
Scallion pancakes are the signature of our store and we have many repeat customers.”
"sure."
"Two bowls of sausage noodles and two scallion pancakes!"
The little girl shouted towards the food preparation area.
"Okay! Two bowls of fat sausage noodles and two scallion pancakes!"
A middle-aged man responded from the food preparation area.
Not long after, two bowls of hot sausage noodles, plus two pieces of yellow and sliced scallion pancakes, were served on the table.
The fat intestines are fat but not greasy, and the noodles taste strong. The scallion pancakes are just as the store said, crispy on the outside and refreshing on the inside.
At this time, the little girl was sitting at the door of the store, swaying her beautiful legs, watching the passing cars, and looking forward to the arrival of new customers.
A middle-aged man also walked out of the kitchen and sat at the door smoking a cigarette. It seemed that he should be the owner of this noodle shop.
When he saw Chen Qi and Suzaku eating happily, he couldn't help but asked with a smile, "How do you two taste?"
"not bad."
Chen Qi nodded, "It's rare to eat such authentic pasta these days."
When the little girl heard Chen Qi's praise, she immediately felt proud, "Of course! Our store was passed down from my grandfather. It has been open for decades. It is well-known far and near, and it is absolutely authentic!"
The middle-aged man patted the little girl on the head to signal her not to be rude.
Suzaku blinked and said, "Shopkeeper, I see that your store's business is not very good. Is it only for today?"
The store owner waved his hand and said, "Oh, forget it, a group of uninvited guests came to our town yesterday and scared away many customers in the town."
"Many shops in the town are closed now. Only those of us on the edge of town can open, but the business is not as good as before."
Chen Qi raised his head slightly, "Have they banned you from opening a store?"
"There is no prohibition, but those people are unreasonable and overbearing. For example, they don't give you money for meals and shopping. It's just a small matter. Whenever something goes wrong, they even get into fights. Many people have been hospitalized by them."
Suzaku was a little surprised, "You are so arrogant, you are no different from a bandit."
"Isn't it?"
The shopkeeper shook his head, "I heard they are some kind of royal family. The team of the Hou family came for the Chen royal family in [Shangjing]."
"How can ordinary people like us afford to offend?"
This shopkeeper did tell some of the current facts.
In ancient times, when the two countries were at war, it was always the common people who suffered.
Although there is peace in the country now, disputes between families often continue.
Although it is not as tragic as in ancient times, it has more or less affected some ordinary people who are struggling to make a living.
The store owner took a puff of cigarette and sighed quietly, "If we continue like this, our business will not be easy to do.
I don’t know when this will end.”
"It won't last long."
Chen Qi suddenly smiled and replied, "The store will be patient for a few more days, and I promise you that in a few days, you can do business with confidence and boldness."
But Chen Qi's words made the little girl roll her eyes wildly, "Tsk, bragging and not drafting, what guarantee do you have?"
