In the elegant hall specially provided for Xia Caiyue, an "outsider" with a hooked nose and a tile-shaped face with gray hair and beard was welcomed at this moment - Chen Binyang.
The old man had just sat down, and before he even had time to take a sip of tea, he frowned and sighed: "Oh! Princess, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue with the escort robbery!"
"Well? Why is this? Could it be that the other elders or Chen Zangfeng himself discovered the flaw?" Xia Caiyue frowned slightly.
When she thought about it, there shouldn't be any problems with the plan she made. Hijacking the escort team would severely damage the financial lifeline of the Chen family. Soon the entire Chen family would be in debt. As the patriarch, Chen Zangfeng could not escape the blame.
Secondly, such behavior is in the interests of the great elder. When the time is right, he will use the money from the robbery to fill the hole that he himself tore, and he will shout from the top to make the people of the Chenshen family want
, it must definitely belong to him!
By then, Chen Zangfeng and the direct lineage represented by his grandson Chen Shen will no longer have a foothold in the Chen family, and the family will be in disarray.
When the battle at Nanguan broke out, Chen Zangfeng led his troops out and had his own backup to take care of him.
As for Chen Shen who remains in the imperial family, when the elder Chen Jinyang takes control of the situation and the clan returns home, who will care about the life and death of a so-called direct lineage young master?
It was originally an excellent game of chess, but who knew that as soon as he got out of the starting position, Chen Jinyang told him that he could no longer play!
Xia Caiyue was extremely angry after hearing this.
Although this green-haired and blue-eyed girl didn't show anything on her face, in her heart, she had already scolded Chen Jinyang as an old loser who failed to achieve anything but failed!
"Alas! That's what happened..."
The Great Elder, the deputy head of Tianqibao Pavilion, went to the Chen family in person a few days ago, discussed a "big cooperation" with Chen Zangfeng, and named the clan leader to take charge of the matter.
In fact, the old guy wanted to visit Xia Caiyue to discuss countermeasures as early as the day he got the news.
But then I thought about it, this matter might not turn around. If I go to that girl to solve a problem as soon as it arises, wouldn’t I look too useless?
So, he was waiting. He wanted to wait until the day when Master Tianqi Pavilion made an appointment with him, and then find a way to get back the power to deploy and control the personnel of the "Chen Family Treasure Search Team".
I never thought that the master of Tianqi Pavilion would actually let go of his dove without even meeting him, so what nonsense is that?
As a last resort, Chen Jinyang could only report the matter to Xia Caiyue with his old face again.
"Hmph! I didn't expect that a treasure-hunting cooperation in the Tianqibao Pavilion would actually bring the dying direct lineage of the Chen family back to life!"
Xia Caiyue frowned slightly, with a cold look in her eyes: "The master of Qi Pavilion, Jing Chen Zangfeng, was a hero that day. This matter was really difficult to handle... If we continue to send out people to hinder the treasure search, it will infringe on Tian Qi Bao Pavilion.
interests."
"If you offend Master Tianqi Pavilion, with his strength, it will be easy to uncover a few hijackers."
"Once he is forced to find out that this princess is behind all this, how can my grandfather recruit him? The agreement to go to southern Xinjiang three months later will also come to naught."
After thinking clearly about the stakes, Princess Caiyue opened her lips slightly and said in a cold tone: "Then stop. Let Chen Zangfeng and his precious grandson live a little longer."
"Yes!" Chen Jinyang hesitated for a moment and then asked: "May I ask the princess if you have any clever ideas to deal with that little beast Chen Shen? My son Chen Hu died because of him. I wish I could drink his blood and live.
Its meat!”
It's a good thing that the old guy didn't mention this matter. But now that she mentions it, Princess Caiyue becomes even more angry - during this period of time, she has many plots against Chen Shen. First, she let Shao Erbi "touch porcelain" and sent Chen Shen to prison.
.
The result? Chen Shen came out safe and sound, but Xia Lie, the family general sent by the King of Huainan to protect Xia Caiyue, died.
Then, Xia Caiyue refused to give up and took advantage of the fact that Chen Shen was traumatized after being released from prison and was "crazy". She used a dirty trick to get Chen Jinyang's youngest son Chen Hu to cooperate and lure Chen Shen and the little princess Xia Qingchan to the city.
Besides, I originally wanted to stage a drama of "raping the princess" to show the King of Great Xia.
But the results are still unsatisfactory.
Chen Shen was inexplicably cured of his madness, and the princess was safe and sound. On the contrary, the old housekeeper who had been following Chen Jinyang for decades died suddenly and mysteriously. He was attacked with extremely harsh tactics by an unknown person, and his body was shattered into pieces.
!
Chen Binyang's youngest son Chen Hu was no exception. He actually... died at the mouth of a mysterious beast! Isn't this too fucking stupid?
The most irritating thing is that later, in order to take revenge on Chen Shen, Xia Caiyue held a guardian knight selection competition, hoping that the young man would be brutally beaten into a scum by the young talents from the Imperial Academy.
The result was unexpected again - Chen Shen won by challenging the crowd and made a lot of money, but Xia Caiyue herself was deceived and became infamous, losing money and losing face.
People say there are only three things that can go wrong.
But from the moment Xia Caiyue met Chen Shen in the Hundred Schools League, she provoked trouble more than three times. As a result, she made strategizing every time, only to be defeated again and again...
During this time, the girl even started to doubt herself: "How come Chen Shen is so lucky? Could it be that all of my princess's clever plans, as long as they are aimed at him, will have a good outcome?"
Holding back the anger in her heart, Xia Caiyue's tone became colder without realizing it: "Chen Jinyang, you'd better think hard about how to maintain the power and status of the Great Elder!"
"As for Chen Shen and Chen Zangfeng, they will naturally not survive when the time comes."
"I don't want Chen Zangfeng to die and Chen Qibing to come out of the Chen family to compete with you for the right to take over the family! In time, when my father and grandfather conquer the imperial capital, what does he need? You should be very happy
Is it clear?"
Xia Caiyue's words awakened Chen Jinyang, who was blinded by personal hatred!
Yes, the reason why King Huainan attracted him was actually not because of him, but because of his identity——
The identity of the eldest elder of the Chen family!
Although Chen Jinyang did not know the specific plans of Xia Caiyue, her father, and her grandfather Xia Chunqiu, he could feel that the Huainan side must have already deployed a clever plan to kill Chen Zangfeng.
Once Chen Zangfeng dies, if the prestige of his grandson Chen Shen is not enough, then the leadership of the Chen family will naturally fall on him, the chief elder...
In the past, Chen Jinyang dared to pat his chest and say: Once Chen Zangfeng dies, his incompetent grandson will be nothing to worry about. I will definitely take over the position of head of the Chen family!
But now, the situation no longer seems as optimistic as it was a few months ago.
Chen Shen is a young genius with both Dan and Wu skills. Recently, he has single-handedly passed the examination to become the core disciple of the family. If something unexpected happened to Chen Zangfeng, at least half of the elders in the clan would choose to support Chen Shen as the successor to the old clan leader.
Mantle.
Judging from the recent observed situation, the second elder Chen Qibing is one of the strongest supporters of "Young Master Chen"...
