Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin
Chapter 445: Becoming a Duke
In another corner of Chang'an City, a group of people in black robes were discussing in secret.
They are members of the Crimson Church, and they were responsible for the attack on Ji Liu's family and the fire in the facility.
They communicated in low voices, seeming to be discussing their next plan of action.
That night, social events in Chang'an City made the situation even more confusing.
Some people who did not know the truth began to gather in the streets, talking and spreading rumors.
Some people say that the Ji Liu family suffered this misfortune because they offended a certain important figure.
Some speculated that this was an act of revenge by the Crimson Church.
Some people say that the Ji Liu family hoards goods and blocks people's way of making money.
What's more, the Ji Liu family possesses a peerless treasure, and the attackers want to kill and seize the treasure.
The storm is about to come, and the storm is likely to get bigger and bigger.
Major aristocratic families and sects also held emergency meetings to discuss countermeasures. They worry that this incident will trigger more social unrest and may even affect their own interests.
As time went by, the tense atmosphere in Chang'an City became increasingly intense.
All the major forces are secretly wrestling with each other, trying to seek their own interests in this turmoil.
Xue Churan was caught in a dilemma. She had to maintain the stability of Chang'an City while also dealing with pressure and threats from all sides.
And those forces hidden in the dark are beginning to make moves.
Either out of selfish interests or for some ulterior purpose, they began to secretly observe the situation and look for opportunities.
The undercurrent of Chang'an City is surging, and the games and contests between various forces are quietly unfolding.
But in this chaos, some thoughtful people saw an opportunity.
They began to secretly manipulate public opinion and create chaos in an attempt to take advantage of troubled waters.
However, the major forces in Chang'an City were not fools. They quickly noticed the actions of these people and stepped up their vigilance.
In this way, Chang'an City spent the day in a tense and strange atmosphere.
The truth behind the attack on the Ji Liu family and the man behind the social incident that night became the focus of everyone in Chang'an.
………………
At this time, Xue Churan, with an old man accompanying him, was in the Chen family's mansion, and was concentrating on visiting Chen Cong.
Her steps were light and firm, and she had a calm smile on her face, revealing her usual grace and wisdom.
This is a quiet place in Chenjiabiefu, surrounded by green trees and the fragrance of flowers. Xue Churan walked through the winding corridor and came to the living room.
The door opened slightly, and she walked lightly into the house. She saw Chen Cong sitting in front of the desk, closing his eyes and meditating, as if he was comprehending some profound truth.
Chenxiaojun, Longma and Xixi were also present. Their eyes were all focused on Xue Churan, showing curiosity and expectation.
Xue Churan called softly: "Brother Chen, are you okay?"
Chen Cong heard the sound and opened his eyes. When he saw Xue Churan, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he stood up to greet her: "Churan, if you are not welcome from afar, please sit down."
His eyes stayed on the old man who followed him for a moment, and then he showed a knowing smile.
"Brother Zuo, although you are visiting incognito in private, our Chen family cannot let you stand." Chen Cong said to Zuo Tingang.
Xue Churan's entourage then changed and turned out to be Tianfu Douluo Zuo Tingang.
He laughed and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Brother Chen. You're welcome."
With that said, he sat down with Xue Churan and said hello to Longma, "Brother Longma, you're welcome too!"
Seeing this, Long Ma also joked: "Brother Zuo, we haven't seen each other for more than a month. We even drank together when we were in Hanhai City."
Zuo Tingang nodded and smiled: "Yes, that time was truly unforgettable."
Later, Zuo Tingang stood up again and said seriously: "When I came this time, first of all, I brought your majesty's decree for Brother Chen to receive the title. Because brother Chen and I got along very well in Hanhai City, your majesty asked me to run for a while. trip."
Chen Cong broke through the title Douluo. When he was in Hanhai City, he had accepted the virtual title of "Duke" of the Heaven Dou Empire and became a non-staff minister of the Heaven Dou Empire.
This also means that the relationship between the Chen family and the Tiandou Empire has taken a further step.
This is a very solemn honor. To demonstrate this status, the Empire carefully prepared a number of items.
Zuo Tingang waved his hand gently and presented a beautiful wooden box, a larger gift box, and a heavy leather suitcase.
The first is the token. The wooden box is slowly opened. This is a 'Duke' token made of rare metal.
The front of the token is engraved with Chen Cong's title and imperial emblem, symbolizing his status and glory. The reverse is shaped like a flying phoenix, symbolizing Chen Cong's nobility and power.
The surface of the token is engraved with complex magic circles, shining with a faint golden light. It is not only beautiful and elegant, but also has powerful power.
With this token, Chen Cong can travel unimpeded within the Tiandou Empire, and can even mobilize a certain number of troops.
Secondly, there are gold coins. The empire prepared a heavy box of purple gold coins for Chen Cong. Each purple gold coin is engraved with the emblem of the empire and Chen Cong's title, symbolizing his wealth and status.
These gold coins are specially crafted. Each purple gold coin is equivalent to one hundred gold coins. There are ten thousand purple gold coins in this box, which is equivalent to one million gold coins.
Not only can it be used for daily expenses, but it can also be used as a collection. It is a limited edition with only 10,000 pieces. This kind of 'sealed' gold coin has great collection value and is very popular in the market, so it is actually far more than one million gold coins.
In addition, there is a gorgeous ducal dress in the big gift box.
This dress is mainly dark purple in color, with a golden phoenix pattern embroidered on it, highlighting Chen Cong's noble status.
The dress is carefully sewn by top tailors and made of the finest silk and gold. It is both comfortable and elegant. Wearing this dress on important occasions, Chen Cong will undoubtedly become the center of attention.
Finally, the empire also prepared a luxurious mansion for Chen Cong as his ducal residence.
This mansion is located in the center of Chang'an City. It covers a vast area and has an elegant architectural style.
The mansion has multiple functional areas such as a study room, reception room, and banquet hall, as well as a tree-shaded garden for Chen Cong to rest and entertain.
These items and the furnishings of the mansion not only demonstrated Chen Cong's noble status, but also reflected the importance and love the Tiandou Empire had for him.
Zuo Tinggang smiled and said, "Brother Chen, these are your Majesty's rewards. I hope you can continue to serve the Tiandou Empire."
Chen Cong stood up, took the wooden box and suitcase solemnly, and bowed deeply to Xue Churan and Zuo Tinggang: "Thank you for your majesty's kindness, and thank you Brother Zuo and Chu Ran for sending it in person. I, Chen Cong, will definitely live up to your majesty." As entrusted by me, I will fulfill my duties faithfully for the Tiandou Empire.”
Everyone congratulated in unison, and the atmosphere was warm and solemn.
In fact, we all know that this is just a conversation, and the details will depend on how we get along with each other in the future.
