"During this period of time, Chen Jinyang's prestige in the clan has declined significantly. How come two powerful Xuan Kings suddenly came to stand on his side?"
"Unless that old guy really has a connection with the Taikoo or the King of Huainan, and thus received strong support from a certain party."
Suspicious, Chen Dongling thought back to Chen Jinyang's "shock" after Chen Zang's Soul Jade was broken.
"Perhaps, the Great Elder already knew that Chen Zangfeng would die if he sent troops, right? No wonder..."
Chen Shen didn't know what Chen Dongling was thinking at the moment, so he still said to himself: "So, the meeting tomorrow night is extremely important."
"At that time, you will be responsible for meeting with him, and I will be responsible for recording."
Speaking of this, Chen Shen took out an image crystal from the space package with a confident move: "Use it to obtain the evidence. Even if the thief escapes, I will have something to present to Your Majesty. It will be a worthwhile trip."
At this time, Chen Dongling felt that he could no longer remain silent.
The old guy first bowed respectfully to Chen Shen, clasping his fists, and then said: "Young patriarch, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
"Say it, no need to be so polite."
"Why don't you let the second elder go with you in this matter? After all, the second elder has a higher level of cultivation, and his confidence in catching the bandit is much higher than that of the old man."
Regarding Chen Dongling's doubts, Chen Shen had already thought of his words and immediately chuckled: "Haha, this is good."
"But don't forget, the second elder, Chen Qibing, is fond of fighting beasts. He often appears in major colosseums and is considered a celebrity in the imperial capital. What if the bandit recognizes him? Wouldn't he be in vain?"
"Besides him, the fourth elder Chen Luofeng is a frequent visitor to gambling stalls. His reputation for gambling is no less than that of the second elder."
"Sixth Elder Chen Yiru loves poetry and poetry. He is a popular figure in Qingyun Literary Garden, and his reputation is also not small."
Hearing this, Chen Dongling had already nodded secretly.
Yes, it is impossible that such a famous person, whether he is a Taikoo spy or an informant of the King of Huainan, has not been heard of. What if he has seen it again? Isn’t this just shooting himself in the foot?
"I didn't expect that this little beast Chen Shen is young and very cautious. No wonder he can force Chen Jinyang into an embarrassing situation..."
While Chen Dongling was secretly thinking, Chen Shen's analysis continued: "Not to mention the Eighth Elder Chen Shixiao, that old guy is born with a stutter, and he stutters even more when he is nervous. I don't want him to interact with others.
Sometimes, because of his awkward words, he arouses suspicion."
"As for the tenth elder Chen Xin, although he is a female generation, he hates evil, especially for Daxia's old enemy Taikou. I'm afraid that the old woman couldn't control her emotions and killed the contact person in a moment of excitement. Wouldn't it be ruining my big job?"
"Compared with them, Ninth Elder, you rarely go out and your reputation is not well-known in the imperial capital. You are the most suitable candidate."
After listening to what Chen Shen said, Chen Dongling smiled bitterly: "Haha, I didn't expect that my good-for-nothing temperament would turn out to be an advantage at this time?"
"Hahaha, who says it's not the case!" Chen Shen smiled heartily: "Then, are you willing to share my worries for me?"
Chen Dongling immediately bowed sternly: "The clan leader has an order, how dare you disobey it?"
"Very good! Then all you need to do is this... Do you understand?"
"Yes! I will definitely live up to my destiny!"
…
After watching Chen Dongling step out of the house, the smile on Chen Shen's lips suddenly turned as cold as frost, and he murmured in his heart: "This old dog is so scheming and good at acting!"
"If I hadn't turned on the 'Knowing Eyes' to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people and saw the light red halo above his head, which represents hostility, I would have been deceived by this old guy!"
Thinking of this, the young man looked far away in the direction of the Great Elder's Mansion and thought to himself: "Chen Binyang, Chen Binyang, I am leaving the city, and I will only take Chen Dongling with me. You must seize the opportunity to kill
Me! I am waiting for you..."
At this moment, it is already late at night.
The silhouette of the old housekeeper suddenly appeared at the Heroes Monument in the middle of the West Market. He bent down and placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the monument.
The monument is engraved with the names of all the heroes who died protecting the territory of Daxia. Each person's heroic deeds can be written into a biography. It can be regarded as the spiritual heritage of Daxia, urging future generations to serve the country loyally.
There were clusters of flowers piled around the stele, but the bunch of flowers from the old housekeeper Yixiu looked particularly special, with blue, red and white colors, and a short hollow bamboo in the middle.
After putting down the bouquet, the old man clasped his hands and bowed deeply towards the monument, and then murmured: "Thousands of heroic spirits, please bless my young master to win hundreds of battles and achieve victory as soon as possible..."
The old man murmured a lot, then bowed again, then got on his horse and drove away.
At the same time, at a window on the second floor of a pub facing the monument, a pair of old and deep eyes peered through the darkness, staring closely at the bouquet of flowers Ikkyu put down: "Blue, red and white.
, that’s right!”
This mysterious man first spread his soul perception, and after discovering that nothing was the same, he immediately jumped out of the window, rushed to the monument at an extremely fast speed, grabbed the strange bouquet of flowers, and soon the whole person merged into the darkness again...
At the same time, in Chen Mansion, in the kitchen at the back of the Grand Elder's Courtyard, Chen Jinyang, Fifth Elder Chen Daoxin, and Seventh Elder Chen Haoquan gathered here.
There was another person standing in front of the three people. It was the Ninth Elder who changed his appearance and sneaked into this place secretly after leaving the patriarch's house - Chen Dongling.
After the old guy said something, Chen Jinyang's gray brows suddenly frowned: "That little beast really said that?"
"Yes. He also asked me to go with him tomorrow. I will be responsible for connecting with that person, and he will be responsible for hiding in a dark place and recording the image with a photo crystal."
Seventh Elder Chen Haoquan snorted coldly: "He did have a good plan! It would be better if you could subdue the messenger."
"Once you accidentally die and he is not exposed, you can escape unscathed and then present the scene in the photo crystal to the King of Great Xia for credit."
Fifth Elder Chen Daoxin took over the conversation: "It's just... I wonder whether the person behind the contact represents Tai Kou or the Huainan Prince's Palace? Or is it really as Chen Shen said, both?"
"No matter what, this is no small matter!"
They didn't know how nervous Chen Jinyang was after hearing the news.
He had known for a long time that Xia Chunqiu had colluded with the Tai Kou to rebel, but he had never told anyone—not even his two sons when they were alive.
Now that Chen Shen suddenly did something like this, Chen Jinyang couldn't help but not believe it.
When he thought about it, if this matter was not true, how did Chen Shen know about the collusion between the King of Huainan and the Taikou Kingdom? This was an absolute secret!
"I just don't know who the contact person is? The black and white evil spirits have never mentioned it..."
Chen Jinyang narrowed his eyes slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said decisively: "I don't care about the affairs between the Taikou and the King of Huainan, and I have nothing to do with it. I just want Chen Shen to die!"
"But that little beast is leaving the city tomorrow, which is a godsend opportunity for us..."
