Click, just as they passed the corner of the city, the black dragon flicked its huge dragon tail, and with a rumble, the entire city corner instantly collapsed, with smoke and dust billowing, and the black dragon led the water tribes through there and walked away directly.
And just for a moment, a shocking cheer came from the rivers and lakes at the southern end of Hongzhou. Surrounded by the water tribes, it receded into the distance like a tide, and soon disappeared without a trace.
And when the black dragon disappeared, everyone in the square let out a long sigh of relief.
But before everyone in the square could relax, suddenly, there was a crisp sound of footsteps. In the eyes of everyone, after ending the negotiation with the Shui Tribe, Chen Zongxi suddenly turned around, with a gloomy face.
He walked in another direction among the crowd.
This sudden change immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even the few royal masters sent by the Human Emperor for personal protection looked over with confusion in their eyes.
"Boy, no, he's coming towards us!"
Suddenly, Xiaowo yelled, her voice was extremely panicked, and her previous alertness was completely gone.
Almost at the same time, Chen Shaojun's eyelids jumped wildly. He also discovered that after the negotiation, his father actually walked towards him.
It was obvious that although his father did not speak, he had already discovered him.
"The wind is blowing hard, boy, you wish for good luck!"
Seeing Chen Zongxi with a gloomy expression, Xiaowo was frightened. He dodged, jumped off Chen Shaojun's shoulder, and escaped into the ground.
Regarding the old man of the Chen family, Xiaowo now has a sullen attitude and keeps him at a distance, not daring to approach him at all.
"No, it's so unfaithful!"
Chen Shaojun subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab it. Unexpectedly, he didn't catch it, and he was instantly furious.
Xiaowo, this bastard, does this every time. Once the situation changes, immediately leave him and run away. At least you can play a role - if there are two people, why should someone share the firepower!
Moreover, didn’t my father kill him even if he looked at the Buddha’s face without looking at the monk’s face so many times?
"You are a dead Taoist friend, but I am not a poor Taoist. You are father and son, and I am not you -"
Xiaowo didn't have any psychological burden at all. After leaving these words, he immediately fled deeper into the ground and escaped.
And just for a moment, Chen Shaojun's father had already walked over.
"The child has seen his father."
Chen Shaojun's scalp was numb and he quickly bowed and saluted.
Whoosh!
After hearing Chen Shaojun's words, everyone was in an uproar.
"Child? Father? Is this the young master's son?"
"Ah! Isn't that the little sage? Why is he here!"
…
In an instant, when the crowd looked over again, their eyes were completely different from before. Jiangnan was a land of plenty, a land of education, and a place where Confucianism and Taoism flourished.
Although the battle between the heroes in the palace took place in the northern capital, it was also well-known in the south of the Yangtze River.
However, Chen Shaojun had no time to pay attention to this. Seeing his father approaching, Chen Shaojun had an unpleasant feeling in his heart. It could be said that the fear of his father had been deeply rooted in his bones.
"How will you be here?"
Right in front of Chen Shaojun, Chen Zongxi stopped and said in a deep voice.
"this--"
Chen Shaojun lowered his head, his eyes turning rapidly.
This is bad!
He went south to Hongzhou without telling his father. He didn't mention it to his father beforehand. It can be said that he acted completely privately. This time he was caught and exposed.
"Although we also have many experts with good water skills, they are not as good as the Aqua Tribe. It is much more convenient to have their help, and there are more than a hundred Aqua Tribes! In addition, if we can get their help, it will be more convenient for us.
Detected the movement from Lord Black Dragon."
…
A group of officials said, glanced at Chen Zongxi, and finally looked at Chen Shaojun.
This is simply a rare thing to live in. They don't care about any conflicts between Chen and his son, nor do they care about what Chen Zongxi thinks of Chen Shaojun. However, Chen Shaojun's joining will definitely be of great benefit to Hongzhou and Jiangnan.
"Master Chen, I have made you a man among the best. Now is the time to employ people. Master Chen must not abandon the public service for personal reasons!"
A Hongzhou official who seemed to have a high status came forward.
Chen Zongxi is rigorous in his studies and has always taught Chen Shaojun about righteousness. This is the first time that he has been accused of abandoning public affairs for private purposes.
Deep underground, Xiaowo sensed this scene through her projection ability, and almost burst into laughter:
"Haha, kid, your father, an imperial envoy, was reprimanded by local officials because of you! Isn't it said that the Shang Dynasty was very hierarchical?"
The little snail was laughing from ear to ear on the ground. This was the first time it saw Chen Zongxi deflated.
"..."
Chen Shaojun.
Xiaowo may find it novel, but for Chen Shaojun, all this is ordinary.
Compared with rank, Confucianism and Taoism pay more attention to honor and righteousness, so civil servants can impeach princes, ministers, relatives of the emperor, and even the emperor. All this is normal.
On the other side, although Chen Zongxi was unhappy, he obviously had no better solution at this time.
"Those water tribes you mentioned, bring them here. Also, within ten days at most, you can go back immediately. This is not your place to interfere."
Chen Zongxi said with a straight face, obviously it was still not easy for him to easily accept Chen Shaojun staying here.
"Thank you father."
On the other side, Chen Shaojun was overjoyed. Ten days seemed not much, but Chen Shaojun had just witnessed the negotiation between his father and Black Dragon Lord. The agreement between the two parties was only three days, and ten days was enough to do a lot of things.
And given his father's character, allowing him to wander around Hongzhou for ten days is already a huge concession.
Boom, it was so late but so fast, just when Chen Shaojun was about to contact the old man in gray and arrange for those Shui tribes who had taken refuge to enter Hongzhou, an earth-shaking loud noise suddenly came from the southwest, accompanied by a strong shock wave.
, even the ground beneath everyone’s feet was trembling.
For a moment, the entire square fell silent, and everyone turned to look in the direction where the vibration came from.
"How is this going?"
Chen Shaojun frowned slightly. Although there were floods in the south of the Yangtze River, such strong fluctuations were unusual.
And for some reason, when the vibration came out, Chen Shaojun clearly felt with the Ice Demon God in his body that all the water rules in the entire Hongzhou area fluctuated slightly, showing a hint of chaos.
"It's a water rhinoceros!"
Suddenly, an official from Hongzhou spoke, his brows furrowed and his expression solemn.
