Shangguan Chan was in a dilemma. The main reason why she didn't tell her elder brother about her experience was because of Xia Shang's identity.
Shangguanchan's eldest brother Shangguanjin's hatred for the Metropolitan Procuratorate was far greater than that of Shangguanchan. Everything stemmed from the death of their father.
Although it was actually Xia Shang who killed Lu Xun and was considered Shangguan Jin's benefactor, Xia Shang took over Lu Xun's position after killing Lu Xun, and instead became a continuation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. What Shangguan Jin hated was not
Lu Xun alone, but the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate, plus the past actions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, left an indelible bad impression on Shangguan Jin.
In Shangguan Jin's mind, it can be said that by getting rid of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he was taking revenge for killing his father and doing justice for heaven.
Another thing is that at the heroes conference in Suzhou three years ago, it was Xia Shang who made a big fuss at the heroes conference. It was also Xia Shang who brought in divine cannons to massacre the martial arts people. It was also Xia Shang who even tarnished his sister's innocence.
At the beginning, Xia Shang coerced Shangguan Chan as a hostage and locked her in a room for a long time. Although no one saw the process, everyone believed that Shangguan Chan was no longer innocent. This also caused Shangguan Chan to suffer a lot.
unfair treatment.
Shangguan Jin also blamed all of this on the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Previously, Shangguan Chan was unable to face Xia Shang and was more or less influenced by his brother's inner feelings. He knew that there was irreconcilable hatred between his eldest brother and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If his eldest brother knew about his experience, it would very likely expose Xia Shang's
No one can predict the true identity and what will happen between the eldest brother and Xia Shang, and Shangguan Chan cannot put himself in a dilemma.
From Shangguanchan's heart, she absolutely does not want to bring her eldest brother to attend any Mingjiao conference, and it is also because the eldest brother has already made up his mind. If he objects again and again, it may make everyone suspicious. Shangguanchan has some reasons to come here.
It's a bit of a fluke that my elder brother doesn't have a deep impression of Xia Shang. He has only been an actor in a few martial arts conferences and must not remember Xia Shang's appearance. Therefore, when we meet this time, my elder brother will only regard him as the leader of the Ming Cult and will not think that the Ming Cult is related to him.
What is the connection with the Metropolitan Procuratorate?
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Shangguan Jin saying that he wants to enter Mingjiao alone. Shangguan Chan is just worried that he will not be present. If the two most important men in his life meet, he doesn't know what they will say, in case he misses it.
If your identity is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.
So Shangguanchan just wanted to keep an eye on her eldest brother all the way to avoid letting him and Xia Shang meet alone.
It was originally agreed that everyone would secretly go up the mountain together and look for opportunities to get in touch with the leader of the Ming Cult first, but things changed later.
Shangguan Jin is an arbitrary person, and even Shangguan Chan would have a hard time changing his eldest brother's mind.
Moreover, Shangguan Jin's proposal also received support from others, so Shangguan Chan had nothing to say.
"Okay, that's it. Let's take action at night."
The group of people nodded, Shangguanchan frowned and said: "No matter what, we have to find a place to stay first. First, see if there is anyone in this village who can take us in?"
"There are not many families in this small village, but there are many people from the martial arts community. In my opinion, it will be difficult for us to find a place to live here. I am afraid we will have to find a wilderness to rest."
"You have to ask before you know. If you really have no other solution, think of something else."
After saying that, the group put on their bamboo hats again, left the shop and started visiting private homes.
There were no rooms in the inn or the like for a long time, and I asked several houses but got no response. Either they didn't welcome outsiders, or someone else had already moved in.
Shangguan Jin felt that it was a waste of time to ask this question, so he planned to leave the village and go to the mountains and forests to find a clean place.
Shangguan Chan still insisted on searching more.
"Shangguan, what's happened to you recently? We people have lived in the wilderness for a long time, and you haven't said anything. Why are you so pretentious after we haven't seen you for several months?"
Shangguan Chan did not answer, but walked in front to guide everyone.
After walking seemingly carelessly, we finally came to a very spacious courtyard.
The yard is very large, with four rooms in two rows, but no one is seen. There are many tables and chairs neatly arranged in the yard. There is a wooden board on the fence gate with two words written on it - "School". At the same time, below
There was also a temporary wooden sign that read - "No hospitality allowed".
Shangguanchan stopped here and shouted to leave: "Is there anyone there?"
Liu An next to him pointed to the sign below: "Shangguan, it says that we will not entertain guests."
"I have to give it a try." Shangguan Chan responded simply and continued to shout: "Is there anyone there?"
At this time, the door to the room opposite opened, and an old man in simple clothes came out, with a scholarly temperament, but also a bit impatient: "I'm sorry..."
But the other party only said two words, and seemed to see Shangguan Chan standing in front of the door.
Shangguanchan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then calmed down and continued: "Sir, we have come a long way and have no place to rest. Can you please..."
"Didn't see the sign outside? No hospitality!"
"Words are dead, but people are alive. I hope that you, sir, can be accommodating."
"The old man is not used to being disturbed, but I see that this girl like you is young and beautiful. Then come in first and I will have a chat with you."
Shangguanchan responded and looked at the group of people with some pride: "Now that you have a chance, you guys wait here for me."
Shangguan Chan didn't give others a chance to say anything, and he had already entered the courtyard.
The remaining few people look at me and I look at you, looking a little incredible.
"Hey! Do you think it's strange? Is it possible that this gentle old man still likes young and beautiful girls? Why did he change his mind as soon as Shangguan said something?"
"I think this Shangguan is a bit weird. She seems to be very familiar with this place."
"How to say?"
"She came all the way and walked in front seemingly carelessly, but she seemed to have identified this place."
"Okay, don't think about it. It's not a big deal. It's best to have a place to stay."
The remaining people didn't wait long outside the yard, and Shangguan Chan came back soon, with a smile on his face.
"Okay, we have already agreed with the old gentleman to let us stay. But let's not talk loudly or move around here. The husband likes to be quiet. Also, we live in the rooms on both sides, which were originally used for
It’s here for the school children to take their lunch break. It’s a big shop, so there are a lot of us and we can sleep there.”
"Drink! Is there such a good thing? Is this place of love specially designed for us?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. If you don't want to be kicked out, stop talking."
Under the leadership of Shangguanchan, the group entered the courtyard.
Shangguan Jin was about to express his gratitude to the old man in person, but who knew that the old man had already left through the small door at the back of the yard and did not know where he went?
