Chapter 40: The moon is dark and the night is killing, and the wind is high and the sky is set on fi
After listening to Sun Ce's words, Chu Yu did not immediately express his opinion. He followed Sun Ce's fingers and looked at his wrist. On his wrist was the agarwood Buddha bead bracelet given by Grand Master Qinglun. He moved his eyes away from the bracelet and looked at Sun Mengzhen.
Facing Chu Yu's gaze, Sun Mengzhen nodded slightly, signaling Chu Yu not to worry.
"Can I know the reason?" Chu Yu looked at Sun Ce and asked aloud. He didn't understand why Sun Ce helped him because of this Buddhist bead bracelet. Chu Yu had such doubts because of Sun Changxing's reaction when he went to Sun's house before.
He had a profound memory - at that time Sun Changxing knew
After knowing the origin of Chu Yu, he directly asked Chu Yu to leave the Sun family. Sun Changxing did not want the Sun family to have anything to do with Chu Yu. Now that Sun Ce said this, wouldn't it be against Sun Changxing's wishes? And what Sun Ce said just now, Sun Ce said
To set up a trap for himself? Does he know who his enemy is?
"If I'm not wrong, the Buddhist bead bracelet on your wrist was given to you by Master Qinglun, right?" Seeing Chu Yu's face full of doubts, Sun Ce smiled and said, "Although I don't know about your relationship with Qinglun Kingdom?"
What is the relationship between Master and why did he give you this bracelet? However, I know that this bracelet is very important to Master Qinglun."
"When a certain prince wanted this string of Buddhist beads, Master Qinglun didn't even give it to him. Since he gave this string of Buddhist beads to you, he certainly has his own reasons."
Hearing Sun Ce's words, Chu Yu smiled bitterly: "Is that why you helped me?"
Sun Ce shook his head: "This string of beads only strengthened my determination."
"The most important thing is because of you." Sun Ce looked at Chu Yu and said seriously: "After Xiaozhen told me that he saw you, I became curious about you."
"Will a person who created countless huge waves in the Alliance become unknown when he comes to the Empire?"
"I don't believe it."
"Especially the fight between you and Ji Qi. After I learned about it, I felt that we might have a good start between us."
After Sun Ce finished speaking, Sun Mengzhen poured a cup of tea and handed it to him. When Sun Ce was talking, Chu Yu was listening attentively. What Sun Ce said seemed to Chu Yu to be some nihilistic things, mixed with too much.
There are many personal emotional factors. If Sun Ce had no other motives, Chu Yu would never believe it.
When Chu Yu heard Sun Ce finally say the name Ji Qi, he frowned - Ji Qi? He had fought with that killer twice since he came to the empire. Could this be the name of that killer? Thinking of this
, Chu Yu asked: "Is Ji Qi the killer?"
Sun Ce nodded: "That's right, his name is Ji Qi, he comes from the Eight Dog Federation, and he just came to the empire recently. There shouldn't be any intersection between you two. Why does he keep causing trouble for you?"
Chu Yu smiled bitterly: "I also want to know the reason."
"Now the Huang family is trying their best to arrest him. If he is not stupid, I am afraid he will not come out in the near future."
Chu Yu hummed softly and looked at Sun Mengzhen opposite: "When Miss Sun took me to the Sun family before, the Sun family's position was that they didn't want to have anything to do with me." After saying that, Chu Yu looked at Sun Ce: "In addition, I
What I want to know is, do you know who my enemies are?"
"My father is getting older, so he is a little timid in doing things. As an old man, not only has he lost the drive he had when he was young, but he is also a little afraid of death." Sun Ce said without any scruples: "As for your second question, since I
By cooperating with you, you will naturally know who your opponent is."
"People from the Alliance, people from the Sin Domain and the Seven Colored Flowers."
Seeing that Sun Ce had named all the people who wanted to kill him, Chu Yu asked with some confusion: "Since you know that so many people want me dead, you still dare to help me? Aren't you afraid that they will take revenge on you?"
"Why should I be afraid?" Sun Ce laughed: "Although the Sun family is not a relative of the emperor in the empire, not just anyone can take revenge."
"The Empire and the Alliance are at odds with each other. People from the Alliance are chasing people. If they all die in the Empire, I don't think anyone from the Empire will pursue them. There will even be people secretly applauding."
"The killer group in the Sin Domain are all a group of desperadoes who only care about money and not people. Their death is nothing more than the loss of some moths and the environment in the outer city has been purified."
"As for Qise Hua." Sun Ce paused as he spoke: "Your Majesty has already ordered the encirclement and suppression of Qise Hua's people. Just because Qise Hua is powerful and mysterious, the people below do not dare to do anything. You are here to deal with them.
I helped secretly and killed them before His Majesty was happy. Tell me what I have to worry about."
Chu Yu didn't expect that Sun Ce would resolve his worries in just a few words. He calmed down for a moment and looked at Sun Ce and asked, "How can you help me?"
"Providing you with information, manpower, material and financial resources."
"Why do you want to help me? I have nothing now and can't bring you any benefit."
"Don't you have the soul of water? That's very profitable."
"That's it?"
"Of course not." Sun Ce was silent for a moment and glanced at Sun Mengzhen. Sun Ce took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. After taking two puffs, Sun Ce put out the cigarette in his hand, then looked at Chu Yu and said:
"Chu Yu, you have been to the inner city. What do you think of the inner city?"
"I just took a quick look at it. If I have to express my feelings, I think there are fewer people than in the outer city and the streets are cleaner... There is no other difference."
After hearing Chu Yu's words, Sun Ce smiled: "There are tens of millions of people in the Wells Empire. As the imperial capital, the city of Wells is much deeper than outsiders think. The outer city is better, but the inner city is full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons - Royal Family
There are hundreds of relatives, thousands of ministers and councilors, and tens of thousands of their family members. It can be said that except for the top local figures, the most powerful people in the entire empire are concentrated in a palm-sized place in the inner city."
"With the blessing of my ancestors, my father is a hereditary duke, but..." Sun Ce said and sighed helplessly: "Now in the entire empire, except for the four families of Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li who made countless illustrious achievements when the country was founded, they have obtained this
Apart from titles, the royal family has not had any other titles in the past thousand years.
Granting the title of Duke to someone other than a member of the royal family. Even those who have served in the administrative field for many years and have outstanding achievements in political affairs will hardly receive this honor. A few days ago, the Duke title of the Li family was taken away. The members of the Li family were demoted to marquis. The next thing is
Maybe it’s the three remaining ones we have.”
Sun Ce said with a wry smile: "In the current empire, the real power lies in the cabinet. In addition, there are the king, prime minister, ministers in the parliament, senior judges, military officers, governors of various dependent territories, diplomats, state advisors and senior Buddhist clergy.
, Is that a fuel-efficient lamp of theirs? If you don’t pay attention, at least if you don’t care about your status, your head will be moved.”
Sun Ce fell into deep thought as he spoke, and Sun Mengzhen on the side also had a worried look on his face. Chu Yu looked at the two of them, his brows knitting together unconsciously. If Chu Yu could still understand what Sun Ce said before, now what Sun Ce said,
This left Chu Yu a little confused - there seemed to be a hint of anxiety in Sun Ce's words? Why did he say this to himself?
"Sorry, I just said some nonsense." After Sun Ce came to his senses, he looked at Chu Yu and smiled: "Chu Yu, you only need to know one thing. We are not only helping you, we are also helping ourselves."
Chu Yu was silent. Sun Ce's words caught him off guard.
"Do you have any more questions?" Seeing that Chu Yu didn't speak, Sun Ce asked.
Chu Yu was silent for a moment: "Give me information, I will ask you for anything I need." Chu Yu said for a moment: "There is also information about the killer named Ji Qi."
Seeing that Chu Yu agreed, Sun Ce nodded and smiled: "I have prepared what you want." Sun Ce glanced at Sun Mengzhen, who then took out a portfolio from her satchel and handed it to Chu Yu.
"There is the information you want in here. The people from the alliance who came to hunt you arrived a day ago. Some of them are now looking for your whereabouts, and some of them are applying for legal hunting procedures. But don't worry, they are not
It will be approved."
"They won't stay in the empire for long, so they will most likely take risks. According to the information I have, the gang of killers in the Sin Domain have already grasped your whereabouts. They will probably sell the information to the Chu family. As for Qise
The people of Hua..." Sun Ce frowned as he said: "There is no effective information at the moment, but I will send someone to protect you secretly. No matter who it is, they will not be able to leave alive if they take action."
"I understand." After listening to Sun Ce's words, Chu Yu nodded and said. After saying that, he thought of a question: "Does the Huo family also have an intelligence organization in the empire?"
Sun Ce glanced at Chu Yu with some surprise: "The Huo family's intelligence organizations are all over the mainland, what do you want to do?"
Recalling what Huo Yunhan once said, Chu Yu finally did not reveal that there was a traitor from the Huo family in the upper echelons of the empire. After putting away the document bag, Chu Yu looked at Sun Ce: "I'll go back and look at the information first. If I find anything, I'll find you."
"If you have any questions, you can contact Xiao Liu directly." Sun Mengzhen said at this time.
Chu Yu said good and got up and left the house. After Chu Yu left, Sun Mengzhen came to Sun Ce and looked down the teahouse. When Chu Yu and Qian Duoduo got into the car arranged by Sun Ce and left, Sun Mengzhen withdrew her gaze and looked towards
Sun Ce on the side: "Brother, should we discuss this with father?"
Sun Ce shook his head: "What do you think will be the consequences if we tell him?" Sun Ce smiled bitterly and said, "He will definitely not let us interfere with Chu Yu's affairs."
"But if we are like this...if the matter is revealed, the Sun family may suffer an unreasonable disaster."
"This is the worst ending." Sun Ce looked at the starry sky outside the window: "We don't have to worry about this now, just trust me."
Sun Mengzhen nodded: "Brother, is there anything special about that bracelet? You value Chu Yu so much."
Sun Ce laughed: "I'll keep some secrets first, just wait and see." After saying that, Sun Ce paused and said, "Tell Xiaoliu and let them be ready to take action at any time." As soon as Sun Ce finished speaking, the bag in his pocket
The phone rang. After answering the call, Sun Ce asked what was wrong and what was said on the phone. Sun Ce's face changed after hearing this: "I will send someone to support you right now."
