The enchanting young woman discovered that Chen Dongling's fist filled with murderous intent stopped short of her heart.
Just because there was a big hand tightly grabbing Chen Dongling's forearm, making it difficult for him to hit even an inch...
Facing Chen Dongling's surprised gaze, Chen Shen twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Haha, I can see that your murderous intention just now is not false at all. That's okay, I believe you."
Hearing this, the enchanting young woman knew that she had narrowly escaped death. She breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time, her body softened and she lay directly on her side, leaving tears of joy or fear.
The tears were uncontrollable, but she didn't dare to let herself cry at all: God knows if this mysterious and decisive young man would hear the cries and feel unhappy and change his mind?
Compared with the cautiousness of his little wife, Chen Dongling seemed much more free and easy. He immediately clasped his fists and asked: "Young patriarch, are you willing to accept the old man's surrender?"
Chen Shen nodded lightly, then stretched out his hand and patted the old man on the shoulder: "I have said that you don't trust people who you doubt, and you don't doubt those you employ."
"From now on, you are one of my Chen Shen's blood-killing guards. Don't worry, I won't have any doubts about you just because you have been with Chen Jinyang before."
"There is no need for these direct relatives to be kept as hostages by me, they can just go and do whatever they need to do!"
As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen people present were stunned. They really couldn't turn around, and this surprise came too suddenly!
The young man was too lazy to talk nonsense with them anymore, and waved his hand impatiently: "You said you should leave, why don't you act quickly? What's the matter, you still have to wait for me to open the door in person and see you off respectfully?"
"Young patriarch, calm down, we don't dare!"
"Boys, let's go now, let's go now!"
The dozen or so people rushed out of the hall door. After they came out, they looked at each other, and they all felt like they were surviving a disaster...
At this moment, only Chen Shen, Chen Dongling, and the old housekeeper were left in the huge main hall of the clan leader.
"Yixiu, you should go down first. I have something secret to discuss with Chen Dongling. By the way, go ask Xia Bi for the war horse that I asked him for before. Are they ready? If not, you
Just capture him and bring him to see me!"
"Hmph! What I hate the most is when someone is grinding away at things..."
"Yes!" The old butler was unambiguous. He would do whatever Chen Shen said, with a loyal servant's heart.
After the other party walked out of the hall and closed the door, Chen Shen took a leisurely step back to sit in front of the Grand Master's chair and waved his hand——
"Om! Zira, Zira..."
He cautiously used the mysterious energy barrier, crossed his legs comfortably, and then said: "You came at the right time. In an hour and a half, you can follow me out of the city to do some important things."
"Yes!" Chen Dongling's attitude was very respectful.
Moreover, he is a smart man. After answering these two words, he just stood there without asking questions such as what the other party was going to do or whether he needed to make more preparations.
Chen Dongling knew very well that he had finally gained a little trust from this young man, so he must not act too hastily, lest the other party become wary and miss important events.
"There is no room for error in this painful plan... Now, it can be considered half the success, and we must be careful at all times!"
The Ninth Elder secretly thought to himself: "This little devil Chen Shen is really cunning! Fortunately, I didn't mention the plot with the First Elder to any direct clan members, otherwise they wouldn't be able to act so realistically today."
"Having Chen Shen stop him at the last moment when he was killing my partner-in-law's wife at least shows that he was really deceived."
"Hmph! Today you are threatening me with my true blood, but one day, I will join forces with the great elders to make you taste life worse than death!"
Even though Chen Dongling's anger had already boiled over, he still had a dull and solemn expression on his face, without any flaws.
For a moment, the hall was silent.
After the silence lasted for a hundred breaths, the young man lying on his back suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha! Ninth Elder, if I don't say anything and you don't say anything, is this a tacit understanding between us?"
Chen Dongling replied respectfully: "How dare I, an old man, have a tacit understanding with the young patriarch? You are praising me."
Chen Shen shook his head noncommittally and asked again: "You were given a task as soon as you surrendered to me. Don't you have anything to ask?"
"I know that my identity is sensitive, so I only need to use my hands and feet to do things, and use my ears to listen to instructions. I don't dare to interfere with anything else."
Chen Dongling looked upright: "I will prove with practical actions that I will definitely live up to the young patriarch's trust today!"
"Okay!" While Chen Shen praised him, he slapped his thigh excitedly: "Okay! As long as you don't let me down, how can I let you down?"
The young man changed what Qian Miaoling said to him and told Chen Dongling.
When he saw that the other party's expression remained unchanged, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said eloquently: "I said, since I am willing to use you, I will not doubt you. It doesn't hurt to tell you that matter."
"Ben Shao accidentally intercepted a secret letter from the Taikou Kingdom to the King of Huainan. The King of Huainan seems to be in cahoots with the Taikou Kingdom and has evil intentions!"
Speaking of this, Chen Shen lowered his voice seemingly unintentionally, and said quietly: "The strange thing is that this secret letter was sent from the imperial capital... The imperial capital, no matter how far away it is from Dongyang Taikou Kingdom or Tianjiang City in Huainan
, are thousands of miles apart, how could such a letter be sent from the imperial capital?"
"After much thought, I have only one possibility: that there is actually a Taikoo or King Huainan's spy in the Imperial City! Moreover, that person's status is probably not low!"
"As long as we find a way to follow the clues and catch this big fish, it will be a great achievement for the King of Daxia! The young master's status will also be further improved!"
"If I can get the full support of the King of Great Xia, I will have more capital to avenge my grandfather..."
"So, in the name of King Huainan, I replied with a secret letter and made an appointment with the Taikoo man to meet in the bamboo forest in the east of the city tomorrow night."
While speaking, Chen Shen's eyes never left Chen Dongling for a moment, as if he was deliberately testing the attitude and expression of this newcomer to the school.
But until now, the old guy's face has always been as usual, like a "mudden man" who doesn't know what expression is. No matter what the other person says, he remains indifferent.
But in fact, Chen Dongling's heart had already stirred up a storm: "The King of Huainan and the Taikou Kingdom colluded with each other? Is this... is this true?"
"If this is true, then the two masters mentioned by the Great Elder Chen Jinyang before have nothing to do with Tai Kou or the King of Huainan, right? Is it possible..."
The more Chen Dongling thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
Seeing that Chen Binyang has lost power in the clan, why did two king-level masters who refused to show their true colors come to seek refuge a week ago?
In fact, it was Chen Jinyang who brought these two king-level experts to meet several other elders that day, which stabilized their minds to continue following him...
