Chapter 56: Behind the Scenes, Black Hands. Part 1
It's hard to have your cake and eat it too, just like there are many things in this world where it's hard to have the best of both worlds. Chu Chu asked Chu Yu how he was in the alliance. Chu Yu who had just returned to the empire was not like this. Coming out of the teleportation array, Chu Yu saw
Looking towards the alliance, he felt a little disappointed. He wanted to see Chu Chu, but the situation was urgent and he had to return early.
After touching his chest, Chu Yu found that the book he found in the forbidden area was still there. Feeling a little more at ease, he walked towards Wales City. It was noon, and people were coming and going on the pipeline leading to Wales City at this time. Chu Yu
Yu watched the hurried passers-by along the way, but he didn't feel too lonely.
When he arrived at the gate of Wales, Chu Yu was interrogated by the gatekeepers. Without any documents, he was taken to a closed room. Faced with the gatekeepers' difficulties, Chu Yu could have subdued them, but he thought that someone was framed in the forbidden area of the trial.
Regarding his own affairs, Chu Yu finally chose to swallow his anger and move Sun Ce out.
When they learned that Chu Yu knew Sun Ce, the gatekeepers were skeptical, but they still called Sun Ce for verification. When they learned that Chu Yu had arrived in the Welsh city, Sun Ce told the guards to treat Chu Yu well while rushing towards the city gate.
go.
On the way, Sun Ce called Huo Yunhan and learned that Chu Yu had returned safely. Huo Yunhan said a good word on the phone in a neither happy nor sad voice. After hanging up the phone, Sun Ce
His brows were furrowed - through these days of getting along, he could clearly feel Huo Yunhan's concern for Chu Yu. Although Huo Yunhan didn't want to see Chu Yu now for some unknown reason, Sun Ce knew that there might be a conflict between the two.
Is there any misunderstanding?
Just as he was thinking about it, the text message on Sun Ce's pocket rang. Sun Ce picked up the phone and looked at it. It was a text message from Huo Yunhan. There was only one sentence on it: "Don't tell Chu Yu my whereabouts."
Seeing this, Sun Ce smiled bitterly, replied with a good word, put the phone back in his pocket, and drove with peace of mind. When he arrived at the city gate, with Sun Ce as his witness, Chu Yu naturally came out quickly. After Chu Yu got in the car,
Sun Ce asked Chu Yu what happened in the forbidden area, and Chu Yu briefly explained it. After listening to Chu Yu's words, Sun Ce
He sighed. At this time, he heard the news of Chu Yu's return and had not yet told Mo Wentian. After thinking for a moment, Sun Ce turned to look at Chu Yu and asked, "Send you back to your place first? You don't know, you're not here."
These days, that boy Wang Hao is going crazy. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have gone to the forbidden area to find you."
"Let's go to the prince first." Chu Yu thought for a moment and answered. After speaking, he looked at Sun Ce and said, "Brother Ce, have you told Wang Hao and the others about my return?"
"I was only thinking about coming to pick you up, and I haven't had time to tell them, what's wrong?" Sun Ce said after a while: "It's better to go to the prince's place first."
"I'll give Wang Hao a call to save them the worry."
"That's what it should be." Sun Ce said and handed the phone to Chu Yu. Just when Chu Yu was about to answer the phone, Sun Ce thought of something and smiled at Chu Yu: "I'll make the call."
Chu Yu nodded, and Sun Ce dialed Wang Hao's number and told him that he was with Chu Yu. He would go to the Prince's Mansion first and go back directly, so that they wouldn't worry. After hanging up the phone, Sun Ce took a look at the recent call records and
In order not to make Chu Yu suspicious, Sun Ce put the phone in his pocket before he could delete the text message.
"Did you know that Grand Master Qinglun passed away?" He put his phone back in his pocket and thought of something and suddenly said to Chu Yu.
"What?" Chu Yu's eyes were full of shock and surprise: "When did it happen?"
"Not long after you entered the forbidden area of trial, Bai Qianchi wanted to kill Your Majesty, and Imperial Master Qinglun had to take action. It is said that Imperial Master Qinglun broke his silence at that time and forced Bai Qianchi back, so Your Majesty was fine."
When Chu Yu heard the news, he didn't hear what Sun Ce was saying at all. He thought of the scene when he saw Grand Master Qinglun for the first time, and how in the Reincarnation Pavilion, he was saved twice by Buddhist beads given by Grand Master Qinglun.
Things, thinking of the Buddha's light in the forbidden area before, Chu Yu
Knowing that it might be the spiritual light that entered the Buddhist beads after the death of Grand Master Qinglun, although he had not been in contact with Grand Master Qinglun for a long time, Chu Yu respected Grand Master Qinglun from the bottom of his heart. Now that Grand Master Qinglun is dead, Chu Yu’s heart
I don't know why, but I suddenly felt sad.
A sad emotion spread in Chu Yu's heart. Seeing Chu Yu frowning and saying nothing, Sun Ce handed him a cigarette: "The new national preceptor is now Master Xuande."
"Master Xuande?" Chu Yu smiled bitterly when he heard that Master Xuande had become the new national master. Of course he would not forget that Master Xuande framed him in the forbidden area, and before going to the forbidden area, Mo Qian
Tell yourself to be careful of Xuande's message.
"The ways of heaven are unpredictable." Sun Ce exhaled a breath of smoke: "You said that even the Qinglun Imperial Master is dead. Now that the Federation has drawn a clear line with the Empire, I don't know how many more people will die next."
"It's hard to say what will happen in the future." Chu Yu also frowned. After learning that Master Xuande became the national master, he always felt that he had become more dangerous in the empire.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Sun Ce thought for a while, turned to look at Chu Yu and said, "Chu Yu, there is no news about the person you asked me to find."
"The person you are looking for?" Chu Yu finally came to his senses after he said this: "There is still no news about Huo Yunhan..." At this point, Chu Yu's voice became much softer: "Where has she gone?"
"I don't know. My people have almost searched the city, and there is no trace of her."
"Do you think he didn't come to the empire at all?"
"The person who told me this news probably wouldn't lie to me." Chu Yu said and sighed helplessly: "Let me take someone to look for it in the next two days."
"That's all. I hope nothing will happen to Miss Huo." After saying that, Sun Ce stopped talking, and Chu Yu didn't say anything either. The car became silent. When they arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Mo Wentian knew that Chu Yu was coming.
, stood at the door to greet him personally, and after chatting with Sun Ce for a while, he took him alone
Chu Yu went to his study room. He was alone in the room with Mo Wentian. Chu Yu didn't say too many polite words. He directly took out the book he found in the forbidden area - Chu Yu had once read the words in the book.
content, but I don’t know what font the words in the book are in, so I don’t know what the book is about.
When Mo Wentian saw that Chu Yu had found the book he wanted, he, who had always been calm, couldn't help but get excited. He took the book from Chu Yu's hand. He stared at the book for a long time before raising his head and facing Chu Yu.
Said: "Chu Yu, thank you."
"You're welcome, Prince. This is what I should do."
"You did me a big favor." Mo Wentian said after a while: "Tell me, if you want anything, I will definitely satisfy you."
Chu Yu smiled when he heard this and shook his head slightly.
"You helped me so much and didn't ask for anything. Isn't this unfair to me?"
"What the prince said is serious. When we first came to the empire, without you, where would we be now? So, no matter what I do for the prince, it is what I should do."
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so sensible, Chu Yu." Mo Wentian raised his eyebrows as he spoke: "Well, I promise you a condition. Whenever you need my help in the future, just ask and I will definitely help."
"Then I would like to thank His Highness the Prince first." Chu Yu knew that Mo Wentian might not be able to step down if he refused again, so he agreed. As for when and what happened, Chu Yu had never thought about asking Mo Wentian for help.
Seeing Chu Yu agree, Mo Wentian nodded with satisfaction and put the book on the table. Mo Wentian looked at Chu Yu and asked: "Chu Yu, do you still remember what I told you before?"
Chu Yu asked with some confusion: "What are you referring to?"
"Let you follow me." Mo Wentian said and looked at Chu Yu helplessly: "Are you, you, still afraid that I will eat you?"
"This..." Chu Yu was a little embarrassed. Before he finished speaking, Mo Wentian said, "Why return this and that? Don't worry, follow me. At least you will be safe."
"Didn't you think carefully about what happened in the forbidden area?"
"Now that Xuande has become a national counselor and Wang Tianqi has been promoted, will they let you go?"
"If you follow me, I won't say that I will make you rich and prosperous, but if anyone wants to seduce you, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
What Mo Wentian said is true. If Chu Yu wants to gain a foothold in the empire now, he needs to find a backer. Although Noila Mo did not extend an olive branch to him, the fact that he was able to send him to the forbidden area with the third princess also shows that he has deep feelings for him.
Chu Yu's attention, and Mo Wentian's,
Chu Yu didn't know why Mo Wentian wanted to recruit him so much. Looking at Mo Wentian's appearance, Chu Yu knew that it was time to make a decision. He weighed the pros and cons in his heart. Chu Yu looked at Mo Wentian and nodded: "Prince
, please take good care of me in the future.”
"If so, don't worry, you won't be hungry if you have something to eat from me." Mo Wentian said, patting Chu Yu's shoulder: "With your words, I feel relieved. Okay, you just came back, just
Go back first, come to my place tomorrow, and I will take you to see His Majesty."
"Okay." After Chu Yu finished speaking, Mo Wentian chatted with him a few more words. After putting away the books sent by Chu Yu, he and Chu Yu went to see Sun Ce and asked Sun Ce to send Chu Yu back to his residence first.
On the way back to his residence, Sun Ce did not ask what Chu Yu and Mo Wentian were talking about. When Chu Yu saw Wang Hao and others, Sun Ce said that he had something to do and left. Chu Yu, Wang Hao, Li Ge and others chatted in detail for a while.
In the evening, everyone called for food, and Cao Man cooked a sumptuous meal himself. After they were full, everyone dispersed to rest, and Chu Yu and Cao Man returned to the house.
Cao Man took the lead and lay down on the bed. Chu Yu read a book for a while. After Cao Man fell asleep, Chu Yu also got into the bed. The two of them slept together with their clothes on. Lying on the bed, Chu Yu could finally sleep peacefully.
, but in the middle of the night, he was awakened by a strange sound.
Chu Yu came to the window and checked the time through the light outside. He found that it was two o'clock in the morning. He stood by the window and looked outside. Chu Yu couldn't help but break into a cold sweat - there were many venomous snakes in the courtyard.
