In Li Mansion, in the lobby, the banquet has just begun.
Everyone was getting excited about chatting, but at this moment, a faint purple light suddenly flew from the window and fell into Chu Feng's palm.
"My dear nephew, what is this?"
This was not the first time they had seen such a magical scene. Even so, Li Gefei and his wife were still a little shocked. As for little Li Hao sitting aside, his eyes were shining and his mouth was dumbfounded.
"It's okay, it's just a small thing that happened."
After Chu Feng read what Xiao Zi sent back, his heart moved, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
"That's good. To be honest, ever since I saw my nephew's magical skills that day, I suddenly felt that the world was a little strange, as if I didn't recognize it anymore." Li Gefei sighed softly.
"My uncle has been an official in the court for many years, but has he never heard of anything about the spiritual world? Or is there no such thing in the royal family?"
"This..." Upon hearing the inquiry, Li Gefei suddenly looked a little unnatural.
"To be honest, I have accepted the teachings of saints since I was a child, and I have never believed in or been interested in these mysterious things. Although I heard about them occasionally in the past, I mostly regarded them as lies spread from rumor to rumor."
Chu Feng was stunned by such an answer. Well, he had asked the wrong person. This person was one of the most loyal Confucian disciples who didn't even bother to listen to anything other than Confucian words.
However, it also indirectly proves something. In this world, martial arts is respected, and there are endless martial arts masters in the world. However, there are very few people who practice the immortal way, and they rarely appear in the world.
Chu Feng couldn't help but think of the royal family. The Song Dynasty worshiped Taoism and did not reject Buddhism. For example, the four royal Buddhist temples in Bianjing City must have a very close connection with Taoism and Buddhism.
Just as he was thinking about these things, little Li Hao, who had been so obedient and silent, suddenly shouted:
"Sister is here."
Chu Feng subconsciously raised his head. When he saw the person coming, his whole mind froze for a moment.
It seems that the night is hazy, and the lights are blurry. At this moment, wearing a blue and white jacket, an embroidered tube top, and a waist-length pleated skirt, the woman is walking slowly towards the crowd, like an elf in the moon, her every move is light and dusty.
Refined.
The woman was so sensitive, as if she noticed the other person's fleeting confusion, and couldn't help but feel secretly happy. After so long of careful preparation, it was finally not in vain.
He stepped forward, gave a bow, and slightly opened his pink lips and said:
"Mr. Chu, are you okay?"
"We've known each other for more than a month, and I just heard the girl's fairy voice today. It's rare, rare."
"I didn't know the master well in the past, and I have some taboos in my body and mind. I hope you can forgive me." Li Qingzhao thought he was blaming him for what happened that day, so he explained softly.
"It's human nature, how can you blame Chu?" Chu Feng smiled and suddenly looked at the crowd and said,
"To be honest, Chu was unconscious in the wild that day and was saved by Miss Li. I was extremely grateful. At that time, I was thinking that I didn't know what this kind girl looked like. I was really curious. I didn't find out until we met later.
, It turns out that the girl is not only kind-hearted, but also stunningly beautiful. This shows how unfair the sky is, and thousands of beauties are concentrated on one person."
Hearing this answer that was vaguely ridiculing and praising, Li Qingzhao suddenly felt ashamed, his cheeks flushed, but he didn't know how to respond.
"Ahem." Li Ge was so old that he instantly felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He thought to himself, this kid was teasing his precious daughter in front of him. Isn't he planning some bad ideas?
"Mr. Chu has shown great kindness to my Li family. He is not considered an outsider. Zhao'er does not need to be polite. Come and take a seat."
"Yes, daddy."
Li Qingzhao responded lightly, bowed again, and then sat down next to Wang.
Time is like running water, passing by in a flash.
The atmosphere of the dinner was very good, and the interest remained high until the end.
However, Chu Feng faintly noticed something strange during the dinner. For some reason, every time he spoke to Li Qingzhao, Li Gefei would always take over the conversation intentionally or unintentionally and lead him elsewhere.
Chu Feng couldn't help but feel speechless. This old guy seemed to be on guard against him.
The night was already dark, and it was inconvenient for him to stay any longer, so he immediately said goodbye. Li Gefei took his whole family out to see each other off, with the utmost etiquette, making it impossible for anyone to have any objections.
…
Li Mansion
After returning to the back house, Wang asked with some confusion:
"Today, the master seems to be deliberately alienating the relationship between Mr. Chu and the eldest sister. Are you worried about something?"
"I don't believe you can't see that look on Zhao'er's face. If you don't take precautions, something big might happen." Li Gefei replied directly without hiding anything.
"Master, you don't like Mr. Chu?"
"Of course not." Li Gefei shook his head.
"This son is not an ordinary person, even I can't see through it at all. Moreover, from his performance today, we can see that his temperament is contemptuous of princes, arrogant to the world, and everything in the world is difficult to see. I am worried that Zhao'er is really
If you follow him, you will suffer."
"If you don't keep a daughter in college, I can control the eldest sister's people, but can I control her heart?"
"this……"
Li Gefei fell silent immediately. Yes, he knew very well what kind of character his daughter was. If he really made up his mind, he would not look back even if he broke through Nanshan.
"Master, madam, Mr. Chu has sent a gift today. However, there seems to be something wrong with this one."
Suddenly, a maid came in, holding an extremely delicate white jade box in her hand.
Mrs. Wang was a little surprised. She took the jade box and opened it casually. However, when she saw the contents in the box, her red lips opened slightly and did not close for a long time. Her eyes shone brightly, and she could not hide her love at all.
.
"What a beautiful pair of Jin Bu Yao, this... I guess it's for the eldest sister?"
"This brat."
Unlike Mr. Wang, when Li Gefei saw the contents of the box, his old face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
…
The night is as cool as water.
In the darkness, dark shadows were running rapidly on the rooftops of Bianjing City. Perhaps they came from different forces, but they had the same goal. In the end, they all met unexpectedly in a mansion somewhere.
In the room, Chu Feng opened his eyes and glanced upward speechlessly. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, was he too gentle? Now, all kinds of cats and dogs are here to test him?
Suddenly, I saw his figure suddenly swaying, but he disappeared in the room instantly, and when he reappeared, he was already in the yard.
Such sudden changes naturally shocked all the investigators.
"Get down here..."
There was a sharp shout, and before anyone could react, the next moment, they felt their whole body tighten, and an invisible force suddenly emerged, pulling all the figures down.
"Bang bang bang..."
The sound of the body hitting the ground was heard one after another. Some were in so much pain that they couldn't help but cry out.
"Shut up."
Chu Feng scolded him coldly, and in an instant, no one dared to make a sound anymore, and they all looked at him with horrified expressions.
"Twenty-three people really think highly of Chu."
As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone could ask for mercy, powerful spiritual power suddenly erupted, and in an instant, all the spies were knocked unconscious.
Such a movement naturally attracted the attention of the people in the mansion. Tieshan rushed over in time and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the unconscious people in front of him.
"Son..."
"They are all spies from various forces in Bianjing City." Chu Feng thought for a moment and then ordered,
"You lead people to imprison them all, and after they wake up, they will be interrogated carefully, and the forces behind them will be fully investigated. After that, send a post to each force and ask them to spend money to redeem their people.
.”
"This..." Tieshan's face was full of astonishment. This young master must be too cruel. He paused and reminded him briefly,
"By acting like this, wouldn't it offend all the forces in Bianjing City?"
"Haha, it's better to offend. It's not a good thing to be against everyone at this moment." Chu Feng replied speciously.
Tieshan rubbed the back of his head, completely confused as to what his master's words meant. He didn't ask any more questions, and immediately called the other servants and started to get busy.
The next morning.
Chu Feng, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, suddenly heard a slight sound of opening the door. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Xiao Cui.
"Master, are you awake?"
"Yeah." Chu Feng nodded, looked at the sky, and then asked,
"Is Tieshan coming?"
"Brother Tieshan came early in the morning. However, I was worried that it would disturb your practice, so he left a list of names with me." Xiao Cui put down the copper basin in her hand, then took out a piece of paper from her arms and handed it over.
"The efficiency is good." Chu Feng smiled, and then opened the paper. After a while, his expression became more and more playful, and he murmured,
"Interesting. If the above information is true, then Bianjing City will be very lively today."
…
As Chu Feng expected, from early morning to noon, some courtiers and officials in Bianjing, princes and princes, and even the family residences of Queen Mother Xiang and some concubines in Bianjing all received the same letter one after another. After reading the contents
, it exploded instantly.
"Blackmail, this is naked blackmail."
In Prince Shen's Mansion, Zhao Bai was furious after reading the letter. He just sent a spy to get some information, but he was forcibly detained. Not only that, but he had to be redeemed with a heavy sum of money, one thousand taels of silver each.
"Is this man named Chu out of his mind to do such a bold thing? Or is it that he has taken refuge with others and has no intention of being friendly with this king?"
"My lord, do you want to send someone over and bring him back directly?"
"No." Zhao Bai glanced at the guard beside him, thought for a moment, and then said,
"In this current situation, it is better to stay still than to move, lest one matter remains unresolved and another incident arises. Didn't he detain the person? Let him detain him temporarily. It just saves me a ration."
"..."
The guard's expression froze, the prince was the prince, and he kicked the ball directly to the opponent.
"By the way, you can send someone to inquire again and see how my royal brothers react and whether they have any secret dealings with Master Feiyun."
"I obey my orders."
The information spread extremely fast, and soon everyone in the palace knew everything. The performances of all parties were different, some were furious, and some were quite novel. This kind of people dared to offend so many people at the same time.
People's 'crazy' behavior is really unexpected.
…
In Prince Duan's Mansion, after listening to his subordinate's report, Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
At this time, he was becoming more and more satisfied with Master Feiyun. Wouldn't this act indirectly express his feelings to him? After all, except for himself, all the other royal brothers were offended by him.
Clean.
"It seems that Master Shitai was not lying, and he really convinced the other party."
Zhao Ji thought to himself that the reason why the other party made the choice so quickly must be the reason why Master Shitai went to persuade him before. After all, such a truly strong man with extraordinary strength will not easily succumb to power.
Thinking of this, he was extremely happy. At such a critical moment, wouldn't it be more proof that he was destined to receive such a strong man?
However, another possibility suddenly occurred to him. If he had sent out spies last night, how would the other party have acted? Would they have detained them forcefully and sent him a 'blackmail letter'?
"Probably not."
Zhao Ji secretly emphasized this, but somehow he didn't have much confidence in his heart.
"In any case, since he has taken the lead in having this attitude, I cannot lag behind others. I should give him an explanation. On the one hand, I will support him, and on the other hand, I will make those who have extravagant hopes give up as soon as possible." After a pause, he immediately
He ordered to the servant beside him:
"Go and prepare the carriages and horses. I am going to visit the Chu Mansion in person."
…
Chu Feng didn't know that his seemingly 'ridiculous' move actually attracted Zhao Ji to visit him much earlier than he originally planned.
Of course, not only was this not a bad thing, but it was a moment that he had been waiting for for a long time. When Xiaoliu hurried over to inform him of King Duan's visit, there was an unconcealable smile in his eyes.
"When a distinguished guest comes to the door, the plum blossoms shine. The poor Taoist Feiyunzi has seen His Royal Highness Duan Wang." After tidying up, Chu Feng rushed to the door in person to welcome Zhao Ji's arrival.
"Haha, why should a real person be so polite? I have long heard that Feiyun Zhenren has great power and immortal appearance. When I saw him today, he was indeed well-deserved. It should be an honor for Xiao Wang to meet the real person." Zhao Ji didn't have the slightest air of a prince.
An extremely familiar compliment.
It has to be said that the other party did perform well at this time, giving people the illusion of being approachable and like a spring breeze. If I hadn't known what kind of person the other party was, I would have really thought that he had the potential to become a wise king.
"Your Majesty is a member of the royal family. I never thought that he would have such a big heart. It's really beyond Pindao's expectation." Chu Feng looked extremely solemn, as if he was really impressed by the other party.
"This is not the place to talk. Your Majesty, please come with me."
"That's good. I just happened to see a real person's mansion today. How is it different from ordinary people like us?"
"Where I live, I just hope it won't stain the prince's favor."
"The mountain is not high, as long as there are immortals there are spirits."
"..."
The two of them exchanged cordial greetings, as if they were old friends they hadn't seen for many years, and walked into the mansion together. As for the guards and servants who came with them, they had already made arrangements with each other, and they all stayed outside the door and did not follow them in.
.
How could such a situation be concealed from interested people? Soon, the news of His Royal Highness Duan Wang's visit to the Chu Mansion spread like the autumn wind throughout the entire Bianjing city.
