"Where is Tianci now?"
Zhang Tao had a blank expression on his face and glanced at the woman beside him.
He already knew everything about what happened under the city wall.
"Your Excellency the Governor, the young master is venting his anger in the Yihong Courtyard." The woman whispered.
Hearing this, Zhang Tao snorted coldly: "Idiot, when you encounter problems, you only know how to vent your anger on women. Sooner or later, you will die on a woman's belly!"
"Governor, do you want to make this Chen Xuan disappear?" the woman asked calmly.
It seemed that in her opinion, making someone disappear was a very simple thing.
"If anyone dares to touch my son, he must die. However, not now, and not by us either. It just so happens that I have a knife that I can use."
Zhang Tao narrowed his eyes and flashed a shrewd look, and whispered something in the woman's ear.
"yes!"
After listening to this, the woman nodded slightly, and then disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.
If Chen Xuan were here, he would definitely be quite surprised.
Because this woman's strength is at the level of a martial artist.
Moreover, he must be at least a second-level martial artist!
…
There was a constant stream of traffic and people coming and going in the barbarian city.
Although it is not as prosperous as the capital, Mancheng is one of the few large cities on the northwest border of the Dagan Dynasty.
There are no officials in the Chen family's branch in Mancheng, they are all engaged in business.
However, since ancient times, there has been collusion between officials and businessmen, and the interests of the Chen family are deeply tied to those of the government.
To be precise, it is closely tied to the interests of the Zhang family.
After all, the governor of Mancheng is surnamed Zhang, and in the entire Mancheng, the Zhang family has the final say!
At the gate of Chen Mansion.
At this time, the head of the family, Chen Kun, was already waiting at the door with his men.
"Master Xuan, you are finally here. After receiving the letter written by the clan leader, I have been waiting for you day and night at home. Finally, you are here!"
Chen Kun is a middle-aged man who looks fat and big-eared. Even wearing loose clothes, he cannot hide his fat body. Whenever he moves, the fat on his body trembles.
The moment he saw Chen Xuan, he immediately walked forward enthusiastically, took Chen Xuan's hand, and kept asking about his well-being.
"Master Xuan, you didn't suffer on the way, did you? These beauties behind you should be the wives betrothed to you by the clan. Master Xuan, you are so lucky. For ordinary people, owning a beautiful woman is a blessing that they have cultivated for eight lifetimes. You own seven of them at once. It's really enviable!"
His mouth was like a machine gun, spitting out saliva at Chen Xuan.
Sometimes he praised Li Xiuning and the others for their beauty, and sometimes he praised Liu Jinyu and the bandits for their wisdom and bravery and their loyalty to their master.
After praising Chen Xuan for a long time, he finally got back to the point and praised him for his promising young age and said he would become a great man in the future.
In short, I said all the words I could think of.
"The head of the family is really eloquent and can talk endlessly. It's a pity that he doesn't write novels when he is so good at talking."
Chen Xuan responded with a smile.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you.
Chen Kun showed such an enthusiastic attitude right from the start. Don't worry about what he's thinking. Chen Xuan should just do his superficial work first.
"No, no, I'm telling the truth. Young Master Xuan is so young, yet he's been entrusted with such an important task by the family. He came to our border to expand the family. Ordinary people don't have this ability!"
Chen Kun always kept a smiling expression on his face.
"I'm just a criminal. How can you entrust me with an important task? The head of the family is too kind to me." Chen Xuan deliberately laughed at himself.
"That's impossible. Now our Chen family is losing talent, and the number of direct descendants is decreasing. This is not a good thing. Having more children, spreading out branches and leaves, and continuing the bloodline of our Chen family is the top priority. This is a big deal!"
Chen Kun looked at Li Xiuning and the others with a smile, and continued, "Ladies, please work hard to give birth to more boys for our Chen family. After all, a mother is honored by her sons!"
Chen Xuan raised his hand, signaling him to stop talking, there was no point in talking about this.
"Master Chen, we have traveled all the way here and are exhausted."
Chen Kun slapped his forehead, revealing an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot that I have already set up a welcoming banquet in the mansion, specially for you to welcome you, please come in quickly."
After saying that, he immediately turned sideways and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
"Thank you for your help."
Chen Xuan nodded, and walked in without any hesitation.
The Chen Mansion is very large, with carved beams and painted buildings, and mountains and water. It is three times more luxurious than the county magistrate's mansion and is the largest wealthy family in the barbarian city.
Dozens of tables were set up next to a pool, and all of Chen Xuan and his group sat at the tables.
Liu Jinyu's younger brothers all sat at other tables, while the main table in the center was where Chen Xuan, Li Xiuning and others sat, and Liu Jinyu also sat at this table.
A stage was built near the pool, and the Chen family specially invited a troupe to perform.
"Master Chen, this is not right!"
Liu Jinyu grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table and couldn't help muttering while eating them.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xuan looked at him.
Liu Jinyu immediately whispered, "Just now outside the city, Zhang Tianci didn't let us enter the city. I think it was Chen Qing who was causing trouble."
"Now, Chen Qing's father is so polite to us and treats us with good wine and delicious food. I think there is something fishy going on!"
"One of them plays the good guy and the other plays the bad guy?"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan smiled indifferently and said, "The reason is simple. They are afraid."
"Are you scared?"
Liu Jinyu was stunned and didn't understand what he meant.
Chen Xuan explained: "How do you think you got this meal? I earned it."
"I acted so strong at the city gate that the people from the prefectural governor's mansion and the Chen family thought I was fearless and didn't dare to touch me."
"In the short term, they dare not show off their power in front of me. They will test me little by little. Once they have tested my strength, they will make a plan to attack me."
Chen Xuan saw everything clearly.
Chen Kun's politeness is just superficial. The term "smiling tiger" is not an exaggeration when used to describe him!
"Master Chen, do you mean that they will attack us again?"
Liu Jinyu's face suddenly darkened.
Is he talking about us? Not you?
The word "we" includes ourselves, and the detail expressed is that we are in the same group.
Chen Xuan took a sip of tea, put the cup gently on the table, looked at him meaningfully, and said slowly: "How can I allow others to snore beside my bed?"
Hearing this, Liu Jinyu suddenly realized!
It's a very simple logic. When he was still a bandit in Bandit Mountain, if someone came to snatch his position as the boss and made him the second in command, would Liu Jinyu be willing?
