Chapter 831 – Foolish or not

Jinling

Wen En carefully followed behind Chen Wunuo, maintaining the perfect distance between them. His master, Su Ruhai, had taught him before that when working by the side of the Holy Emperor, he could not be careless in anything. Even if it was just walking, the speed of the steps, the size of the steps, or the distance between them and the Sacred Emperor were all academic knowledge.

With a master accompanying him, Wen En saved a lot of time to figure it out on his own. Thinking about his master Su Ruhai, Wen En started to worry … It’s been almost half a year, why isn’t Master back yet? Although he would retreat to the second place as long as Su Ruhai returned, he still hoped for the old man to return quickly. It was windy outside and there was no sea in the Northern Plains, but the water was still very deep. One man one sword, he couldn’t overturn the rivers and seas could he?

“What are you thinking about?”

Chen Wunuo suddenly asked. It was at this time that Wen En realized that he had something on his mind, and his footsteps were a little messed up. He almost bumped into Chen Wunuo.

“Old servant …” is thinking about Master. ”

“Don’t worry, we’ve already received the news. He’ll be back soon.”

Chen Wunuo laughed: “This old thing, it’s really hard on him.”

Hearing this, Wen En heaved a sigh of relief. He suddenly felt that he was a bit selfish. Actually, a large part of the reason why he was looking forward to Su Ruhai’s return was because he was too tired from following the Sacred Emperor. He waerson who didn’t know how to hide his thoughts and make himself a little stupid. He couldn’t help but speculate about every single decision that the emperor had made. This was something that people would die for.

Once he was engrossed in it, the next step …

Wen En subconsciously shivered. There were many eunuchs who thought that they were smart enough because they kept trying to figure out the emperor’s thoughts. Then, they started to use this point to interact with the influential figures in the imperial court in an attempt to gain benefits. Even if there were no benefits, it was hard to resist the feeling of accomplishment when showing those courtiers and officials how much he knew about His Majesty the emperor.

Wen En had always known that he was in danger and he had already taken the first step. However, he was unable to contain himself. He was unable to contain himself. That was an extremely fatal enticement. It was as if he was guessing at the magic of the Sacred Emperor’s intentions, causing him to sink deeper and deeper into the abyss.

He could not control himself, his only hope was for Su Ruhai to return quickly.

Wen En sneaked a peek at Chen Wunuo, as this was also a skill that Su Ruhai had taught him. He had to let the emperor see that you were secretly peeping at them, not letting the emperor see that you were peeping at them. It was a very ingenious flattery, causing the Sacred Emperor to feel that you were filled with reverence towards him, not daring to look him in the eye.

“Your Majesty, you have something on your mind as well?”

“This Emperor has a belly full of worries every day.”

Chen Wunuo walked through the flower garden towards Yan Ying Palace. It had been a long time since he had seen the Divine Empress. After the matter with Chen Zhongqi, the number of times the Divine Empress met him decreased.

“Because of the northwest?”

Wen En subconsciously asked, then regretted it. He had an old habit again, so he couldn’t act dumb? Or can’t he keep his mouth shut? Wouldn’t it be great if he didn’t ask anything even if he could see it? Unfortunately, he couldn’t control it.

Chen Wunuo’s footsteps paused there, he turned around and glanced at Wen En: “Do you think that I am doing this because of the Northwest?”

Wen En knew that if he were to take back his words at this time, he would most likely end up in a miserable state. Although his time in Chen Wunuo’s service was far less than his, he still inherited it as well. He felt that he wasn’t really familiar with the Sacred Emperor, but at the very least, he knew what he had to do to protect himself.

“Yes, this old servant thinks so.”

As expected, Chen Wunuo’s expression softened. He did not like his subordinates’ words to be false.

“Yes, you guessed right.”

Chen Wunuo continued to walk forward, “The Great Xi is in a mess everywhere, so it’s relatively peaceful in the Northwest. But do you know why we sent that rampaging Chen Liuxi to the northwest first? ”

“The chaos isn’t scary. What’s scary is the chaos caused by manmade control.”

Wen En lowered his head and said, “The northwest side looks to be in chaos, but the chaos was so great that it was even. That is to say, either the people in the Northwest are all trash, or the people in the Northwest are all telling the same lie. ”

Chen Wunuo laughed: “If you weren’unuch, we would have already made you an official. In terms of thinking, you are better than Su Ruhai, but in terms of being a person, you are far inferior to him. ”

“Not human.”

Wen En lowered his head and said: “He is His Majesty’s servant.”

Chen Wunuo smiled as he shook his head: “We have never treated you two as human beings.”

Wen En immediately knelt down: “This old servant didn’t mean that, Your Majesty has redeemed me.”

Of course he wasn’t really afraid, because he said that on purpose. Just now, he had made a mistake and brought up the matter of the northwest. If he were to continue, it would be interfering with the military affairs of the country. This was what His Majesty hated the most, so he had to say something wrong to turn the situation around. Let the topic shift somewhere else. We absolutely cannot continue on the topic of the Northwest.

“You’re too smart.”

Chen Wunuo waved his hand, “You actually wanted to ask us if Chen Liuxi will die in the Northwest, right? “Tell me, how much did he give you, and how much did you always think for him?”

Wen En kowtowed and said, “How dare this old servant take his benefits? Even if he gave it to this old servant, I wouldn’t dare to take it. “This old servant only feels that he is someone who is truly willing to work for Da Xi. He should live a little longer.”

“Oh? Does that mean he really gave you benefits? ”

“This... “Yes …”

Not only was Chen Wunuo not angry, he laughed out loud, “This Chen Liuxi … Didn’t you guys always say that he looks like Fang Zheng? But think about it, would Fang Zheng give you some benefits? ”

Wen En smiled and said: “This old servant knows my wrongs.”

“Alright, it’s not as simple as you think it is in the Northwest. We have said before, we need Chen Liuxi’s recklessness. They would need to be in the Jinling and even more in the Northwest. In the future, they would need to be in other places as well. “I have prepared many things for him to do. If I die in the northwest just because I did one, wouldn’t I have wasted so many thoughts in vain?”

Wen En heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that he could now give the people from Hollow Jade Temple an explanation. The beautiful female Daoist from Hollow Jade Temple had found him and asked him to help probe out the attitude his majesty had towards Daoist Chen Liuxi. If it was anyone else, he would definitely not care about it. After all, this was the crime of beheading someone. However, he did have a good impression of Chen Liuxi from Hollow Jade Temple, and felt that he was a young man who did not put on airs. This was the kind of person that Da Xi lacked.

“Regarding the matter in the Northwest, a single Chen Liuxi is not enough.”

Chen Wunuo sighed: “I hope they won’t disappoint us.”

“They?”

Wen En was startled, who else could it be?

Three ancient cities.

Xiao Feidu stood up and poured a cup of wine for An Zheng. “The demon beast that had been the subject of so many calamities in North Atlantic Region was killed by you, Chen Daoyi. I want to thank you on behalf of the people of Northwest China. If not for Daoist Master Chen, he did not know how much longer the people would have to suffer. Sigh, this is all because we are incompetent. If we were as mighty and mighty as Daoist Chen, then the demonic beast would not have been able to live this long. ”

These words were likidden needle. No, it was a hidden knife. However, it sounded very pleasing to the ears, this was how these guys spoke.

An Zheng received the wine cup and laughed: “You flatter me.”

All he could think about was what Qu Liuxi had told him before he left … Don’t let those people think too highly of you. Let them think you’rowerful but stupid guy. An Zheng thought to himself, isn’t this making things difficult for me? When thinking about this, even he himself couldn’t help but want to laugh, thinking that he actually thought about such a messy place.

It was just that she did not know where Qu Liuxi had gone to, as she had said that she wanted to meet an extremely important person. If he could get help from this person, then not only would the danger that An Zheng faced be mostly resolved, the situation in the northwest would also change because of this.

An Zheng had been thinking about this for a long time, and he didn’t know who Qu Liuxi would meet with. She had never come into contact with anyone outside of the ship. How could she understand the situation in the northwest so well? Then, An Zheng felt a little guilty. He still hadn’t accompanied him enough. He didn’t even know what she liked and what he was good at. In his memories, there were many labels on Qu Liuxi, such as’ gentleness’, ‘gentleness’, ‘tenderness’, and ‘talent’ in medicine. But he had never known that Qu Liuxi was actually such a scheming woman.

“It is said that... The demon beasts are coming for the big picture. ”

Xiao Feidu looked at the expression on his face and casually said, “Our Xiao family has always been fighting against demon beasts and our losses are also extremely heavy. However, this is what our Xiao family should do. To protect the peace in this place is the duty of every Great Xixi cultivator. Therefore, the Xiao Clan has always paid attention to the movements of the Demonic Beasts. Our scouts have discovered that the Demonic Beasts are currently gathering on a large scale even further west. ”

“Further west?”

An Zheng frowned: “Isn’t that just approaching the border? With such elite troops there, how could the beasts dare to attack?”

“Daoist Chen doesn’t know.”

Xiao Feidu said, then immediately shut his mouth, “Forget it, this has nothing to do with you, Sect Leader Chen. Furthermore, this is a secret of the Holy See, I cannot casually leak it out.”

Ding Wei, who was sitting beside him, complained, “What are you worrying about? Is Daoist Master Chen an outsider? Daoist Master Chen was bestowed the title of Marquis of Yangwei by His Majesty. He had come to the northwest precisely to fight the demonic beasts to the death. Aime when the country and its people were in danger, what else could not be said openly? As long as they are on the same side, there will be no secrets in the Northwest! ”

Everyone immediately cheered, “Well said!”

“That’s right, Daoist Priest Chen is not an outsider!”

“What a great saying. As long as they are on the same side as me, there will be no outsiders.” All of us are doing it for the people of the northwest, which one of us is doing it for ourselves? There is nothing that cannot be told to Daoist Priest Chen, so don’t hide it from him. ”

Xiao Feidu looked at everyone and then looked at An Zheng. Then, he stomped his feet. Actually, there was a big secret in the northwest, which was that Holy See had built an underground granary for the sake of preparing for war. “But now that the demon beasts know the location of the underground granary, Taoist Chen, think about it. If the supplies from the Central Plains are not delivered and there are any problems with the underground granary, it will be dangerous.”

“At that time, the northwest will be filled with starving corpses. If the commoners did not die from the demonic beasts, they would also die of hunger. Thinking about this, my heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. “Our Xiao family and the other families are already forming a team and will support them as soon as possible. This is going to be a decisive battle.”

An Zheng drank his wine and did not say a word.

Xiao Feidu thought to himself, “You fucking idiot, I’ve already said this much, why aren’t you saying anything?” He looked at An Zheng, waiting for him to say something, but An Zheng was actually still drinking …

“Cough cough …”

Xiao Feidu thought to himself that this person was indeed an idiot. In other words, the talent in his cultivation was truly amazing. Otherwise, he would have been played to death a long time ago. Since Chen Liuxi could not react in time, he could only say it out loud.

“Daoist Priest Chen, I humbly request you to fight with us Northwest citizens.”

He stood up, cupped his fists and said, “For Da Xi, for the people, we would rather fight to the death than retreat!”

An Zheng, “Ah? “Oh …”

He coughed a few times. “Cough cough, I’m still injured. I’m still recovering. The wounds are quite heavy.”

Xiao Feidu was stunned this time. Someone reacted: “It’s okay, we have the medicine!”

An Zheng: “How can I accept this …”

Xiao Feidu slapped his thigh. “So what? You can tell me as much as you want!”

An Zheng: “I’m not doing this for myself, all of my subordinates are injured, and I have no way of fighting them, this is killing me. If only there were a few dozen Golden-Rank pellets, even if there were no Golden-Rank pellets, just a few hundred white pellets would be fine. ”
