The Yangming Sect, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, disappeared in the fire that night.

For Jianghu, this is definitely a sensational and explosive thing, but for the world, it does not make any waves. It is like a tiny fallen leaf in the long river, swirling in the rapids and disappearing.

Xiao Chen and Shi Cai were sitting on the top of the mountain under the moonlight. They could vaguely see Ouyang Xu pressing a figure slowly up the mountain on the mountainside.

Shi Cai pointed at the man and asked, "Is this the gentleman's sword Ke Yongchang who was planning to kill you in Yangnan City?"

Xiao Chen nodded.

Shi Cai stood up angrily and cursed Niang Xipi.

"You dare to touch my brother Shi Cai, you are really tired of living."

At first, Shi Cai was shocked when he heard that Xiao Chen came here to destroy his family and sect. But later he learned that the head of this sect had actually killed Xiao Chen, and the fear in Shi Cai's heart disappeared immediately.

He kept shouting that Ke Yongchang would be cut into pieces.

Shi Cai and Xiao Chen are both masters who cannot tolerate their own people being bullied.

Ke Yongchang was escorted by Ouyang Xu and came to the two of them. At this time, Ke Yongchang had long lost the demeanor of the former worldly master. His whole body was tied up three times inside and three times outside by Ouyang Xu with a thick hemp rope. At this time, he

His face was completely dark, his hair was messy, and he looked as embarrassed as possible.

Contrary to Xiao Chen's expectation, when Ke Yongchang saw Xiao Chen, he immediately knelt down and kept begging Xiao Chen for mercy.

Originally, Xiao Chen thought that people in the world like Ke Yongchang were always a bit arrogant and would rather die than surrender.

He burned his sect and killed his disciples. When he saw Xiao Chen, he always had to say "I won't let you go even if you are a ghost" to be worthy of his status as the head of the Yangming Sect, but

Who would have thought that Ke Yongchang, who was kneeling in front of Xiao Chen, would have greatly refreshed Xiao Chen's view of people in the world.

Not all people are as stubborn and stubborn as Du Yingying. There are still many people who are aware of current affairs.

"Your Majesty, Ke Yongchang is guilty. He should not have listened to the slander and became an enemy of the Prince. But Your Majesty, all this was instigated by Ye Zhichu of the Guizhou Kingdom. He also said that if I disobey, he will destroy my Yangming Sect.

, I have no choice but to do it, and I hope that the prince will leave you with a long way to live. Ke Yong will live the rest of his life and will repay the prince like a cow or a horse."

Ke Yong couldn't stop kowtowing, and there was a red mark on his forehead.

Xiao Chen chuckled and asked: "Do you know why I asked someone to spare your life and bring you to me?"

Ke Yongchang raised his head and thought deeply, and said: "Your Majesty, now is the time to employ people. Although Ke Yongchang is not talented, there is still some room for use."

Xiao Chen and Shi Cai couldn't help but smile and look at each other after hearing this.

"No, no, no!" Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "I, Xiao Chen, don't need people like you."

"I'm leaving you here just to tell you that if I, Xiao Chen, said I would destroy your Yangming Sect, I will definitely destroy you."

With the Yangming Sect's fingers burned in the fire, Xiao Chen said: "Look, I, Xiao Chen, will do what I say."

At this time, Ke Yongchang had no intention of paying attention to the Yangming Sect in the flames. The reason why Xiao Chen kept him was to humiliate him.

And after saying these words, I have no value anymore...

Under the threat of death, Ke Yongchang struggled to stand up and said crazily: "Your Majesty, Ke Yongchang is really wrong, please spare me. If I had known this day, even if I was beaten to death, I would not interfere with the prince.

It’s a matter of fact.”

As soon as Ke Yongchang stood up, he was knocked to his knees again by Ouyang Xu's sword.

Ignoring Ke Yongchang who couldn't help shouting for mercy, Xiao Chen slowly packed up his drinking utensils, then got on his horse and said to Shi Cai:

"Let's go back home."

Shi Cai glanced at Ke Yongchang and said, "Where is he?"

Xiao Chen chuckled lightly, gave Ouyang Xu a cold look, then patted the horse's back and rode away.

Looking at Xiao Chen leaving, Ke Yongchang finally sat on the ground in despair.

Shi Cai stepped forward and patted Ke Yongchang's face gently, and said coldly: "For the sake of your own death, I want to tell you a truth, no matter who you mess with, don't mess with a dandy, because this kind of people have such bad ideas."

If you are small, you will have to compare the penny with the baht."

…

August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which also means that late autumn has officially entered.

Under the guidance of Wu Liang, everyone in the Yong'an Palace was busy, planning to celebrate Xiao Chen's first Mid-Autumn Festival back in Yong'an.

As the weather got darker, Xiao Chen and Shi Cai both put on luxurious fluffy robes tacitly. They squatted in the yard and watched nervously the two ants fighting on the ground. After all, the two of them made a bet, whoever liked the ant would lose.

I want to invite him to a brothel for a whole month.

There is no shortage of money to show talents. In Yong'an, no one dared to collect money when Xiao Chen went to a brothel, but the two of them just competed with each other. The joy of a dandy is so simple and unpretentious.

In the end, Xiao Chen's ant won, and the excited Xiao Chen couldn't help but scream.

"Haha, I won."

Shi Cai, who was on the losing side, threw out a stack of banknotes with a look of reluctance. Xiao Chen chuckled and put the banknotes into his arms while condensing:

"I've been here for almost a month. When will you return to Kyoto?"

During this period of time, Xiao Chen had urged Shi Cai to return to Beijing more than once. Hearing Xiao Chen's intention of expelling guests again, Shi Cai said dissatisfiedly: "Damn, I paid for everything I ate and drank in Yong'an.

, it’s not like I’m eating and drinking for free, why do you have to drive me away?”

Xiao Chen grinned: "Yongan is not safe."

Shi Cai said angrily: "The old man sent me a message. Just three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bai Qi launched his first attack on Cao Chi and four others. Although this battle was only a brief one, it was not divided.

Victory or defeat. But the old man also said that Bai Qi's army outside Kyoto has reached an astonishing 350,000, which is more than twice Cao Chi's entire force. Seeing that a full-scale attack is about to break out, he said that if possible,

Just let me stay in Yongan."

Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly. How could Shi Cai know that what Yongan was about to face would be more terrifying than the situation in Kyoto?

However, what Shi Cai said makes sense. If Kyoto is not safe, let him stay in Yong'an first. When the last resort comes, he will send him away.

While the two were talking, Wu Liang popped up from outside the courtyard gate and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Du Yingying has asked you to come over."

Xiao Chen was stunned. According to the agreement, even if Du Yingying regained her freedom after returning from Guizhou, this girl didn't know what she was thinking about after staying in the house for so long.

"What is supposed to come will come sooner or later." Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly. Du Yingying was the eagle who refused to accept it. It was time to send her away.

"I'll come back as soon as I go." Xiao Chen simply told Shi Cai.

"Wait!" Shi Cai called Xiao Chen. During this time, Shi Cai also knew the love and hate relationship between Xiao Chen and these four girls. Seeing that Xiao Chen was about to send Du Yingying back home, Shi Cai pointed out

Pointing to the position in Xiao Chen's arms, he said: "Didn't your ally of the Xia Kingdom give you a package of good things?"

Xiao Chen was startled, and then he recalled that he still had something like Mongolian sweat medicine. Unfortunately, when he and Feng Yu fell into the water together, the medicine had been washed away long ago.

Shaking his head, Xiao Chen said: "Forget it, they are all eagles that are about to soar, there is no need to break their wings."

Shi Cai was not surprised. He understood that Xiao Chen had his own bottom line.

…

When they arrived at Golden Bird Garden, Du Yingying was busy packing her luggage in the room. Xiao Chen stood outside the courtyard door and watched everything quietly through the busy shadows in the house.

This scene is very similar to when Du Yingying entered the mansion for the first time. There was always one person outside the courtyard and one person inside.

There was a wall between the two of them, but it couldn't be broken down.

After a while, the door opened, and Du Yingying appeared at the door with a bag on her left shoulder and a sword in her right hand.

Looking at Xiao Chen leaning at the door of the courtyard, Du Yingying smiled: "Why don't you come in."

Xiao Chen waved his hand honestly: "I don't dare."

"Don't worry, the girl today is in love, so she won't wield a sword." Du Yingying was particularly tolerant today. Although she spoke very freely, the disappointment in her tone could still be clearly read.

Since being kidnapped by Xiao Chen, she has been thinking about escaping from this house all the time. But when she really wanted to leave, she felt an inexplicable reluctance to leave.

Xiao Chen rubbed his hands and walked into the yard, looked at Du Yingying and said, "I'll see you off. It's not safe outside, so I'll protect you."

Du Yingying shook her head and smiled: "With all your three-legged cat skills, if you protect me, I'm afraid I'll protect you, right?"

Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't be so serious. I have been practicing really hard during this time."

After experiencing the bandit incident, Xiao Chen did practice hard after returning to Yong'an, two hours a day, rain or shine. It's a pity that Xiao Dadan is just like him, he has no talent for swordsmanship. After practicing for so long, he can't

Learned the four movements of thrusting, stabbing, teasing and cutting.

On the other hand, Han Che, the adopted son, has made rapid progress in martial arts. I heard from Ouyang Xu that he has entered the realm of a second-grade martial artist. He is planning to go to Yandang Mountain again recently. He really wants to destroy the group of bandits. Regarding this matter,

Xiao Chen did not refuse. However, Xiao Chen was not at ease if he was asked to go alone.

When the time comes, I will find a few skilled people from Qunying Pavilion to accompany Han Che. Nothing will happen if they are kept safe. As for Ouyang Xu, I will definitely not help him without even thinking about it.

In terms of martial arts, Ouyang Xu was indeed merciless to Han Che's demands. After looking at the entire Yong'an, I guess Ouyang Xu was the only one who dared to deal with Xiao Chen's adopted son like this, right?

Du Yingying nodded for the first time and agreed with Xiao Chen's suggestion.

But he always tried to be brave and said: "After all, you were the one who brought me to the house. You should have sent me back in person today."

Xiao Chen chuckled and shouted outside the courtyard: "Prepare your horses."

The moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival is particularly round, and every household in Yongan is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Xiao Chen and Du Yingying sat outside the carriage, quietly admiring the peaceful Yong'an under the night.

The streets are paved with red lights for ten miles, and the shadows of people on the road are intertwined!

Xiao Chen suddenly said sincerely: "Yong'an during the Mid-Autumn Festival is so beautiful."
Chapter completed!
