Chen Shi

The calmer the surface, the more turbulent the bottom.

After going down the mountain, Rong Yun is like a tiger coming out of the cage. Although she still respects him, her sophisticated and ruthless style is exactly the same as that of Cui Yan in her previous life.He was very afraid that if he lost his mind, he would follow the footsteps of his previous life again.He asked cautiously: "How do you know if you don't ask me?"

Rong Yun originally wanted to say that it was probably the latter who talked secretly between Master and Palace Master Meishu for so long.But when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind and said obediently: "I believe everything the master says."

Listening to the iron post, Chen Zhi briefly explained the ins and outs of the future, but concealed his identity as a fairy, and only said that after discussing with Mei Ruoxue, they hit it off right away.

Rong Yun's heart was slightly sour: "Grandmaster Mei is really blessed to be favored by Master." Compared with Chen Zhi's cold face when she went up the mountain, she became more aggrieved, and her cheeks that became more contoured suddenly bulged into two balls.

Chen Zhi stretched out his fingers and poked one with a "poof" sound: "What are your plans now?"

Rong Yun was ashamed of the disrespect just now, her face blushed slightly, but she said extremely cold words: "Of course I will take revenge and ask him to pay with his life." Fearing that Master would think he was cruel, he added, "There is an injustice and a debtor. I will not harm the innocent."

Cui Yan would never hear such words, Chen Zhi was very moved, it should be said that his education in this life is still very successful.He asked, "How are you going to take revenge?"

Rong Yun said: "I originally planned to spend a few years instigating the big families to fight, but now I can free up my hands to concentrate on dealing with Hu Yue."

Chen Zhi was still worried: "How are you going to deal with him?"

Rong Yun said: "I will deal with him the way he dealt with my father back then. With my Rong family's wealth, just taking one life, how difficult it can be."

Hearing that he was going to use such a simple and rude method, Chen Zhi felt relieved.That kind of deceitful method with twists and turns and beating around the bush often achieves unexpected results-it's hard to say whether it's good or bad.

Chen Zhi thought of his original plan to cause civil strife in the family, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of plan it was.

Speaking of this, Rong Yun was a little excited: "I rely on Master to come up with this idea."

Can the accomplice take the blame?

Chen Zhi, who was so blamed that he almost became a scumbag, smiled bitterly: "How should I say it?"

"Master, don't worry, this disciple will not harm you, and will protect you well, and I will never let them know that the news of Chen Xuanxiang being a man is the master who told me." Rong Yun grabbed his hand reassuringly.

The roles of master and apprentice seem to be reversed.

Chen Zhi pulled out his hand indiscriminately, and stroked his head: "Well, how do you plan to use this news?"

Rong Yun smiled and said: "Miss Wu's family was able to move into the Southwest Prince's Mansion smoothly. In other aristocratic families, there are no legitimate daughters of the right age to compete with her, but it's different if she is a man. Anyway, it is impossible to be a princess, and any concubine from the collateral line can be sent away." Go. I believe that no one will miss such a good opportunity. I have already released the news a few days ago, and I believe there will be results in a few days."

There was an action so quickly.

Chen Zhi was dumbfounded when he heard that: "Aren't you afraid that my information is not accurate?"

Rong Yun said softly: "That's okay. I borrow the words of the merchants walking in the southwest, and no one will suspect us. Even if it is fake, it will be enough for them to toss for a while."

This trick of sowing dissension makes no trace.

Chen Zhi asked curiously: "Where did you learn these things?"

Rong Yun became nervous: "Master doesn't like it?"

"That's not true." After all, he is the future emperor, and he doesn't have a city mansion, which makes people worry.It's just that as a master, he is actually not as scheming as his apprentice, really... Thinking that he is Cui Yan, he feels so taken for granted. "I'm just weird."

Rong Yun said: "I learned from Master's book." At least, when I read the book in the future, I will gradually understand it.I don't say anything about it, it's just to strengthen the connection between myself and Master, so that he can't separate the relationship whether he is happy or angry.

Sure enough, Chen Zhi had no doubts after hearing this.

There must be something wrong with the book of all flaws.

Although the conference is over, the aftermath still exists.Rong Yun sent someone out to inquire about the movements of several families after they left.

The Meishu Palace came with great momentum, but when it went away it was silent, they didn't know when they moved, the Fang and Gu families left Hangzhou that night and returned to Jinling, but the Lin family stayed and lived in the other courtyard in Hangzhou.

Among these houses in Hangzhou, the Wu family was calm, as if watching a play; the Luo family closed the door for a meeting, and called the shopkeepers below, and it seemed that there was a big movement; the Hu family was the most weird.After Hu's father and son returned home, they stayed behind closed doors and did not come out until late at night.

Chen Zhi guessed that the boss of "Plum Blossom Killer" had told them that he knew the truth and was planning a countermeasure.He told Rong Yun his thoughts, and Rong Yun smiled deeply: "I'm afraid they won't dare to come." It was a last resort to promise Master not to pursue the innocent, and according to his heart, the best policy is to cut the grass and root out to avoid future troubles.If the Hu family took the initiative to make a move, he would be forced to fight, and it is only natural for him to miss if there is a deviation.

How could Chen Zhi fail to see his plan, but considering that the Hu family "should" join the Rong family, perhaps this was an opportunity, so he dared not speak out.

Seeing that it was late at night, Rong Yun wanted to personally serve Chen Zhi to take a bath and go to bed, but she was flatly rejected.

He was very sad: "Master is afraid that the disciple is clumsy, so I can't serve you well?"

Although Rong Yun is not Cui Yan, Rong Yun may become Cui Yan.In order to prevent himself from falling into the clutches of a kissing maniac again, Chen Zhi cruelly ignored the little sadness in his eyes, and said stiffly: "Yes, that's what I think as a teacher."

Rong Yun: "..."

Chen Zhi took advantage of his sluggish moment, and quickly slammed the door shut.

"Master!" Rong Yun knocked on the door without giving up.

Chen Zhi said through the door, "Cry, I'll open the door if you cry."

Rong Yun was not fooled: "I cried, and Master will make me think about my mistakes behind closed doors."

"Children can be taught." Chen Zhi hummed a little tune in a good mood, undressed and took a bath.

"..." Rong Yun stayed outside and refused to leave. While listening to the sound of water inside, she had nothing to say and talked about interesting things about her childhood.

After Chen Zhi took a shower, he couldn't bear it and said, "Did Feng Sanji take you to listen to the book?"

Rong Yun leaned against the door and said, "Master, I miss you." Chen Zhi's gaffe to the masked girl, and his long conversation with Mei Ruoxue all made him feel an unprecedented crisis, as if Master possessed another world that he couldn't enter. The world no longer belongs to him alone.Therefore, like a chick attached to its mother bird, it refuses to leave no matter what.

Chen Zhi had no choice but to open the door and let him in.

Rong Yun was very self-conscious: "I'll just take a shower here, and after I'm done washing, I'll sleep in an outside room. Master, just go to sleep."

Knowing his character, Chen Zhi probably was determined not to achieve his goal, and he didn't bother to argue, so he went to sleep in the back room.After a while, Rong Yun tiptoed in with the fragrance after bathing, and called in a low voice: "Master, are you asleep?"

Chen Zhi, who closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep: "..." Why are you asking the other party whether to sleep or not with such old-fashioned sentences, why can't you say something new like "Get up and eat pig's trotters together", "Come and see Wu Gang naked" ?

Rong Yun didn't get a response for a long time, so she approached cautiously and tucked back the tightly covered quilt.

Chen Zhi: "?"

Rong Yun recalled that Chen Zhi also covered herself with a quilt in the middle of the night, a treatment that neither Mei Ruoxue nor the masked girl could enjoy, so she felt relieved and said in a low voice, "Master, have a good dream."

……

When I opened my eyes in the middle of the night, a black shadow stood in front of the bed.

It's a good dream, if you don't get scared out of your wits, it's already considered advanced.

Chen Zhi complained secretly, and fell asleep after hearing Rong Yun go outside.

No one mentioned the episode of the night.Rong Yun prepared famous Hangzhou snacks early in the morning and tasted them with Chen Zhi.Chen Zhi suddenly said: "I remember there is a dessert in Hangzhou called Suyoubing?"

Rong Yun said: "I have heard of it, but I have never eaten it since I was a child."

Chen Zhi said in surprise, "Why?"

"My mother said that she saw it on the street, but she couldn't eat it."

Hearing what he said, Chen Zhi became more and more curious, and wanted to ask more questions, so he heard a servant outside say: "The young master of the Hu family came to post."

Rong Yun frowned slightly.

Chen Zhi said: "I don't know what idea I came up with all night."

Rong Yun took the post with a sneer: "No matter what idea you have, you will never succeed." Opening the post, it turned out to be an invitation letter.Ask him to come to Hu's house at noon today.

Chen Zhi was surprised: "Did he think we would go?"

Rong Yun asked the servant: "What else did the young master of the Hu family say?"

The servant said, "He's waiting at the door."

Rong Yun called people in.

Not long after, Hu Nianxin came in completely naked, and bowed to Rong Yun: "Hu Nianxin apologized for my father!"

Rong Yun smiled and said: "Mr. Hu is dressed like this, is he here to announce the funeral?" There was clearly a knife in the smile, which hurt people's eyeballs.

Hu Nianxin did not deny it.

Rong Yun restrained her smile: "What is the crime of the Patriarch of the Hu family?" Hu Nianxin said: "My father has already told me the truth about Uncle Rong's assassination. Over the years, he has always regretted his recklessness in the past. Now, seeing Rong The young master is healthy and strong, already...has...enough to smile at Jiuquan, and go to apologize to Uncle Rong and Aunt Rong."

Chen Zhi was taken aback, what did he mean, Hu Yue wanted to commit suicide to atone for his crime?

Rong Yun said coldly: "If he really repented, why did he come to plead guilty until today? Let's put away the pretentiousness of weasels giving chickens New Year's greetings!"

Hu Nianxin also knew that he couldn't justify it, so he could only say: "My father is determined to make amends, but before he dies, he still wants to meet Mr. Rong and plead guilty in person. If Uncle Rong and Aunt Rong are alive, they would also like to see the enemy bow their heads and admit their mistakes in front of their parents and children. "

This sentence is very powerful.

Rong Yun was really moved.

Hu Nianxin said again: "If Mr. Rong is not at ease, I am willing to be a hostage."

Rong Yun sneered and said, "Why don't you worry." He summoned his servants and whispered a few words, and not long after, all the martial arts sects and bodyguards in Hangzhou were waiting at the door.He led them to the Hu family in a mighty way.

This battle is really like bullying.

Hu Nianxin said euphemistically: "Young Master Rong, aren't you afraid that outsiders will think that you came and forced my father to death?"

Rong Yun smiled and said: "Isn't it?" If it weren't for the fact that Master and the Mistress of Meishu hit it off, not only destroying the plans of other aristocratic families, but also showing a profound and unpredictable background, how could Hu Yue give up easily and want to abandon the car to protect the handsome?

Hu Nianxin was speechless.

In front of the study door, Hu Yue stood with his hands behind his back.I haven't seen him all night, but his hair is gray, his face is haggard, and he is decades old.When he saw Rong Yun, he bent his knees, knelt down straight, kowtowed three times and then three times.

Rong Yun accepted it calmly.

Hu Yue said: "The first three are for your father, and the last three are for your father."

Rong Yun looked at him without saying a word.

Hu Yue stood up slowly, his back slightly stooped: "I remember the first time I saw your mother, it was at your grandfather's birthday banquet. After a glimpse, I went crazy. Later I found out that she is your father's fiancee But I still refused to stop, not only named the newborn Nianxin, but also tried every means to see your mother again. But every time I saw each other, I was jealous, and over time, I developed delusions and secretly threw in love letters, thinking that gods do not know ghosts. Unexpectedly, it has already fallen into your father's eyes. Your father cared about my face and didn't expose it, but only made people hint at me, but I didn't know how to cherish it, and even gave birth to resentment, and even gave birth to mad thoughts." He sighed long , the corners of my eyes were slightly wet, "I have been living in guilt and fear these years. I want to see you safe and sound, but I am afraid that you will appear in front of me safe and sound... Now, all of this is over."

He calmly took out a small white porcelain bottle, unplugged it, and Hu Nianxin cried out, "Father!"

Hu Yue smiled slightly at him: "I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for your mother. I only hope that she will be safe in the next life and never meet such a lucky person like me again." Turning to Rong Yun, he said, "Although Hu Nianxin is my son, But because I missed your mother, I didn't treat him wholeheartedly. Now, I entrust the Hu family into his hands, and he has decided to join his family and make atonement for me. He is very reasonable and said that I deserved it, I will never cause any grudges because of this... I hope that the grievances of the previous generation will end with me." After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank the poison in the porcelain bottle in one gulp.

The medicine was highly toxic, and within a short time, he convulsed and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and died.

Hu Nian fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

Rong Yun suddenly pulled out the long sword of the bodyguard beside her, and before Hu Nianxin could react, one sword pierced Hu Yue's neck and another sword pierced his heart.

Hu Nianxin yelled and wanted to rush over, but was restrained by Rong Yun's eyes, and asked calmly, "Are you going to vote for me?"

Chen Zhi: "..." Just as he ravaged his father's corpse in front of others, he immediately asked if he wanted to join him. Only Rong Yun could do such a shameless seamless connection.

Hu Nianxin's chest heaved for a long time before closing his eyes and crying, "Yes."

Rong Yun said: "Then take off this funeral clothes."

Hu Nianxin opened his eyes wide.

Rong Yun said: "Your master's revenge has been avenged, wouldn't it be a happy event for the whole world to celebrate?"

Chen Zhi looked at Hu Nianxin's flushed face, fearing that he would rush up and beat him up, so he could not help but quietly moved to Rong Yun's side, just in case.

Rong Yun looked up at him suddenly: "Master, am I doing this right?"

Chen Zhi secretly said: People are all dead, and you still ask if it is right, can it bring people back to life if they are not right?Speaking of bringing the dead back to life, he suddenly remembered that after Cui Yan died, he took away the corpse, and because Lord Yan said that the corpse should be well maintained, he even brought a fresh-keeping pill.I don't know if Rong Yun looks the same as Cui Yan when she grows up, but it can be used for comparison.

Rong Yun didn't know that Chen Zhi's thoughts had drifted thousands of miles away. Seeing that he didn't answer, she thought she was dissatisfied with what she had done, and explained aggrievedly: "I made up the knife because I was afraid that he would take the medicine of feigning death." .”

Chen Zhi came back to his senses and rubbed his head: "You did a good job."

Of course, it couldn't be better to subdue the Hu family with ease.But, it was too easy.It was just a sleepy delivery of pillows, which went incredibly smoothly.

Rong Yun also had the same idea.He transferred people to take over everything in the Hu family with Hu Nianxin, and at the same time sent people to find out what happened to the Hu family before, why Hu Yue suddenly handed over everything without even resisting.

It's just that no matter how much he investigated, he found nothing. Later, even Chen Zhi became uneasy. For several days in a row, he followed Hu Nianxin with an invisibility talisman to see who he was in contact with, what he did, and even sleep carefully at night. Listening to the sleep talk, but, except for Hu Nianxin who had some thoughts when dealing with Hu Yue's funeral, he was like a marionette at other times, doing what he wanted him to do, without any changes.

He didn't get anything here, but Rong Yun couldn't take it anymore.

When Chen Zhi came back wearing stars and wearing moons, Rong Yun held his waist as soon as he entered the door.Rong Yun buried her head on his shoulder and said sullenly: "Master has ignored me recently."

Chen Zhi said: "Who am I investigating Hu Nianxin for?" Little heartless.

Rong Yun rubbed against him: "I know Master is for me, but I'm still not happy."

Chen Zhi said: "Tiger breeding is a threat. I will always be uneasy if I don't investigate the purpose of the Hu family."

Rong Yun said: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up. The master is tired because of such a person, so the disciples are disturbed."

Chen Zhi said he couldn't beat him, and perfunctorily promised not to follow him tomorrow.

Rong Yun was still dissatisfied: "If you don't follow me tomorrow, what about the day after?"

Chen Zhi got a headache from being pestered by him, and suddenly thought of a way out: "I want to see a friend in the future."

In Rong Yun's place, Master's friends directly equate with those who rob Master.He raised his head: "Then Master will take me there?"

Chen Zhi's ear was blown by him for a while, and he pushed him uncomfortably: "I'll go alone."

Rong Yun, who tried hard to get into Master's circle of friends but couldn't get in, was irritable for a while in her heart: "Then Master always tells me who the friends I want to see are."

Chen Zhi said: "I told you, forgot?"

The friend that the master told me and can see in one day...

Rong Yun quickly deleted and selected in her head, and then there was only one name left: "Lin Zhiyuan?"

Chen Zhi nodded: "That's him."

Rong Yun beat the villain "Lin Zhiyuan" a hundred times in her heart, but she still said obediently on the surface: "Okay, where is Master going to meet him? If it's a restaurant, I'll make a reservation in advance. If it's going to another courtyard , I asked someone to send a greeting card."

According to folk novels, the probability of being overheard when talking outside is much higher than at home, so Chen Zhi chose another courtyard.

……

Rong Yun, who was going to eavesdrop, turned over the "Lin Zhiyuan" villain and hit him a hundred times.

After a day's rest, he basked in the sun in a daze, and Rong Yun was beside him handling the business of the Rong family and the Hu family. Chen Zhi felt as if he had returned to the leisurely life of Siming Mountain.Only on the second day, the day was beaten back to its original shape.

Rong Yun helped him prepare the carriage to the Lin family's other courtyard. Before leaving, she repeatedly asked if she wanted to bring bodyguards. If she brought bodyguards, she might as well bring herself, who was thousands of times more reliable than bodyguards.

It's a pity that Chen Zhi was unmoved, and set off leisurely under Rong Yun's resentful eyes.

Knowing that he was coming, Tan Shu waited at the door early in the morning.

The comrades-in-arms met, very excited.

The two entered with their arms, like a pair of true friends who have reunited after a long absence.When they arrived at the flower hall, Tan Shu said happily: "The Hu family has already taken refuge, and now the Lin family is left."

Chen Zhi said: "But the Hu family took refuge in too strange a way, I am always uneasy."

Tan Shu said with a smile: "Please rest assured, the Hu family should be sincere in their service."

Hearing that there was something in his words, Chen Zhi hurriedly said, "Could it be that you know the inside story?"

Tan Shu nodded calmly and said: "I used to pretend to be a fortune teller and went to his house several times, and every time I calculated things very accurately, Hu Yue was very suspicious and always doubtful, so I predicted that he would die when he met Rong Yun again. .Now he probably really believed it."

Chen Zhi said, "Then why did he join the Rong family?"

Tan Shu said: "Because I told the Hu family that Rong Yun will be the emperor in the future. They took refuge in the Southwest King for the sake of Conglong. Unfortunately, there are Fang, Wu and our Lin family in front of them. They have never been ranked. Now they are given The Hu family is naturally ecstatic about another more accurate way out. Even if Hu Yue is greedy for life and afraid of death, the rest of the Hu family will still throw him out for the sake of glory and wealth."

Seeing his strategizing, Chen Zhi couldn't find the shyness of meeting him for the first time, and thought to himself: Sure enough, people can't be judged by appearances.

Tan Shu became more and more excited as he spoke: "Then it's my turn to surrender to Rong Yun."

Chen Zhi said: "I told Rong Yun, we have met several times, and I will persuade you to cooperate. From now on, you just need to cooperate with me."

Who knows that Tan Shu shook his head and refused: "I am the number one think tank around him, if I don't show my intelligence, how can he reuse me?"

Chen Zhi had a bad feeling: "How do you plan to behave?"

Tan Shu quickly changed into a robe of "I think I'm a fairy, but I'm actually full of deceit": "I'll give him advice."

Chen Zhi: "..." If Rong Yun believed it, I should doubt his intelligence.
