The coming-of-age ceremony challenge has come to an end. From today on, Chen Shen’s position as the young master is unshakable.
Next, there is a big banquet for the whole family.
Eating meat and drinking wine is indispensable.
The banquet lasted from noon until sunset, and then slowly came to an end.
The vast majority of the clan members dispersed happily, but the people from the Great Elder Faction continued to find various excuses to disperse in advance.
The four elders who fell in love with Chen Jinyang were no exception - this meal was almost the most tasteless meal they had ever had in their lives...
"Grandpa, you were a little impulsive today. You exposed your six-star Xuanwang cultivation in front of Chen Binyang."
In the secret room, the grandfather and grandson drank hangover tea and chatted.
"You ungrateful brat. Didn't grandpa think about your safety?" Chen Zangfeng rolled his eyes angrily: "Chen Jinyang is already furious, what if that old bastard jumps over the wall and does something to you?
What to do with the killer?"
"Haha... I know grandpa is doing it for my own good. Don't take it seriously if your grandson just complains."
"Spit, what are you spitting? Grouch? What does that mean?"
"Uh...just complaining."
"You brat, I don't know who you learned these weird words from!"
Chen Shen smiled slightly: "With all the fuss today, the majesty of that old bastard Chen Jinyang is greatly lost, and he is not far from complete collapse. Grandpa needs to be careful at all times, and don't get bitten by him."
"As for the four elders of his faction, it would be best if they could abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. If they are stubborn, grandpa will not show mercy and will cut the mess with a sharp knife!"
"Well, I know what I know. It's you who makes me worry. You're such a good emperor. You insist on going to the Mysterious Beast Mountain Forest to experience it, and you won't let anyone accompany you. Tell me about you, ugh!"
"Haha... Okay, the night is hazy, it's a good time to cover your tracks and leave the city."
Chen Shen drank all the tea in one gulp and stood up suddenly.
"You're leaving now? When will you come back?"
Chen Zangfeng lowered his head half-way, his eyes always focused on the lid of the cup where the tea leaves were being scraped.
The old man didn't want his grandson to notice the reluctance and worry in his eyes.
"Yes. Having only cultivation skills without actual combat experience is like a frog in the well. Don't worry, grandpa, your grandson will definitely return in less than a month." Chen Shen replied respectfully.
"Where was it at Qibao Pavilion that day?"
"I've already told my second uncle, so don't worry about it anymore." The young man stopped for a moment, but didn't dare to look back.
He was afraid that this look would shake his firm mind.
In fact, what he told his grandfather and second uncle was to go to the Mysterious Beast Mountain Forest to experience, but in fact, he wanted to go to the Huainan Palace alone!
This trip is a long one, and the variables are extremely high. If something goes wrong, Chen Shen's identity will be exposed, and Chen Shen will never come back...
However, in order to get Zi Linglong out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, and in order to stop his grandfather from running around for the war, Chen Shen had to make this trip!
He needs resources, extremely huge resources, to quickly improve his cultivation level and enhance his family heritage, so that he can protect the most cherished people.
Going to Huainan Prince's Mansion, the young man already had a "robbery" heart.
However, it is not easy to steal from the royal palace where there are many masters and powerful men in the royal palace. If you are not careful, the fate of life and death will disappear.
"Well... go ahead, take care of yourself!"
"Grandpa, take care of yourself too, and say goodbye, grandson!"
After saying these words, Chen Shen quickly stepped outside and climbed over the wall...
The night is like thick inkstone, too deep to be dissolved.
After Chen Shen left the house, he went to a certain inn to hail a carriage and threw a golden coin to the driver. The old man Xu was so happy that he carried the young man to the city gate.
go.
In the sedan carriage, Chen Shen took off the light blue brocade robe that Ling'er bought for him and changed into a pair of linen clothes worn by ordinary people.
Then put the black iron mask prepared in advance on your face.
The workmanship of this black iron mask is not as fine as the rich gold mask he bought from System Spirit. It is completely handmade by a third-rate blacksmith. It only covers the forehead to cheekbones, nostrils, mouth, and even the lower jaw.
It's exposed to the outside.
Well, Chen Shen's request is very simple, as long as it can hide his true appearance and not block his eating and drinking. As for appearance, it doesn't matter.
He wished that after he blended into the crowd, he couldn't even make a splash!
On this trip to Huainan, the route map I used was given by Xia Caiyue. It was a map that followed the official route and passed through at least twenty or thirty cities.
With Xia Caiyue's scheming mind, she would definitely notify the informants in every town in advance and set up traps everywhere to keep an eye on a man wearing a dark gold mask and having extraordinary abilities.
Yes, Xia Caiyue has "good intentions" and wants to control the whereabouts of Tianqi Pavilion Master at any time. Maybe she can have an "accidental encounter" and a welcome ceremony before entering Huainan to show her respect.
But Chen Shen doesn't want that! His Five Star Xuan King is a fake. The earlier he comes into contact with Xia Caiyue and others and the more time they spend together, the greater the possibility of being exposed.
As for not showing Chen Shen his true colors, it goes without saying - it would be strange if the Huainan King's people found out that Chen Zangfeng's only grandson was alone outside and tried every means to kill him!
Therefore, Chen Shen had to dress up. In addition to his appearance and demeanor, his commonly used weapons also had to be replaced - the Giant Elephant Fuhu Gun had long been stored in the space package, and what he was holding at the moment was the most ordinary wide weapon.
Bladed sword.
After doing all this, Chen Shen seemed to have changed into a different person, with the decadent and ruffian spirit of a third-rate charlatan coming over him.
"Ta-ta-ta...ta-ta-ta..."
"Stop! It's so late. Why are you leaving the city?"
The guards guarding the south gate conducted routine questioning.
"This official is just an errand boy. He is responsible for taking the young man in the sedan out of the city. He will come back as soon as possible. Please help me!" The coachman spoke with a smile on his face and spoke quietly.
He stuffed a silver coin into the opponent's hand.
This was what Chen Shen had ordered early in the morning. The young man did not want to be seen by anyone before leaving the city: not even himself who had already disguised himself.
Otherwise, the coachman would not be so "generous" and give him one silver coin! Generally speaking, more than thirty copper coins can be spent.
"That's it... go back quickly, there will be a curfew in half an hour!" The garrison sergeant took advantage and decisively let him go.
Anyway, the imperial capital has been calm during this period, and there are no wanted criminals. The city gate sergeants will not do thankless and troublesome tasks. What's more, there is still extra money to be made...
"Young master, we have already left the city. How do you think we will get out?"
"Take me to the nearest mercenary market."
"Okay! Drive!"
The mercenary market, to put it bluntly, is some street stalls and groceries outside the city. It is one or two hundred meters away from the city gate. It is like a walkway. Usually, mercenary hunters hunt mysterious beasts during the day and gain something, and return in the evening.
Set up a stall.
"Okay, stop."
"Okay!" The driver hurriedly tightened the horse's reins and turned around to lift the sedan curtain: "Master... ah?"
