Chapter 165: It is destined to meet in a foreign land
The villa occupies a large area, with pavilions, bridges and ponds.
In one of the palaces, the lights were brightly lit.
Yu Baiting sat in the top position.
He is the head of the Yu family, one of the five top aristocratic families in Gunzhou City. He has overwhelming power and intimidates the six counties of Gunzhou.
If the ten most powerful people in the entire Gunzhou were selected, Yu Baiting would be able to firmly occupy a place.
He was wearing a long robe with wide sleeves, a strange face, a flowing willow beard, a string of rosary beads in his hand, a warm smile, and a pair of slender eyes with piercing energy.
In the center of the hall, an old slave was reporting the news:
"Sir, in more than ten days, the 'tea party' initiated by the Governor Xiang Tianqiu will begin."
"Among the five major families in Gunzhou City, the Zhao and Bai families have made it clear that they will support the governor of Huai'an County, 'Zhang Lingyu', to serve as the governor of the new Gunzhou City. This also means that these two major families are on the side of the second prince.
there."
"Except for these two families, the Xue family has not expressed its stance. The Zheng family is said to be very close to the sixth prince now..."
Hearing this, Yu Baiting waved his hand and said, "These news are meaningless. In the face of real strength, any statement is nonsense. In the final analysis, this is the second prince and the sixth prince vying for the position of governor of Gunzhou."
The old slave said softly: "Sir, Governor Xiang Tianqiu is waiting for your reply."
Yu Baiting thought for a moment and said: "Xiang Tianqiu is a fierce general in the second prince's camp. He plans to support Zhang Lingyu to the top before resigning. I guess this is also the second prince's intention..."
He raised his head, looked at the old slave, and said, "In this way, you can give me a message and tell Xiang Tianqiu that our Yu family's attitude is very simple. Whoever wins, we support."
The old slave was stunned and immediately said in admiration: "Your Excellency is wise!"
Yu Baiting shook his head disapprovingly and said: "What a wise man. The only advantage of doing this is that it will not get involved in the struggle between the two princes. The disadvantage is that if it is not done well, it will offend both princes.
.It’s hard to know the right measure.”
After a pause, a look of disdain appeared on his brows, "However, our Yu family is not afraid of this either. In Gongzhou City, neither the second prince nor the sixth prince dare to break up with us!"
Having said this, he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
Not long after the old slave left the hall, the girl in a pomegranate skirt walked straight in and said: "Father, I'm back."
Behind her, there was also the man in the shirt.
Yu Baiting looked at the girl and couldn't help asking: "Girl, why do you look a little depressed?"
The girl in the pomegranate skirt is his daughter Yu Shuangning.
Yu Shuangning curled her lips and said: "Father, you don't know, I met a hateful guy today, and I finally understand what it means to rely on kindness and respect yourself."
Yu Baiting was startled, looked at the man in the shirt, and said, "Qiao Leng, what happened?"
The man in the shirt, Qiao Leng, sighed secretly and told everything about his encounter with the blood-flamed wolves in the canyon today.
It didn't hide anything, nor did it add any extravagance, but just omitted some details.
After hearing this, Yu Baiting frowned and said, "A young man in the early stage of the Qi Gathering Realm killed the Blood Flame Wolf King?"
Qiao Leng nodded and said: "It is indeed incredible, but it is indeed true. I suspect that young man also has a lot of history."
Yu Baiting gently stroked his beard and asked: "Girl, why are you unhappy?"
Yu Shuangning said angrily: "I didn't say I wouldn't thank that guy, but what bothers me the most is using favors to pressure me. Father, don't you know that for that little trophy, that guy actually asked me for a piece of cake?
Ten thousand second-level spiritual stones!”
Yu Baiting narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled and said: "Forget it, it's just a trivial matter. What's more, I saved you after all, so we all have to be tolerant."
"Of course I won't argue with people like him."
Yu Shuangning said proudly.
After chatting for a while, Yu Shuangning turned around and left.
Qiao Leng was left behind.
"Tell me again what happened."
Yu Baiting's expression became majestic, and he stared at Qiao Leng with a pair of slender eyes, making the latter feel even more stressed.
So Qiao Leng told some details one by one.
"Do you think that young man in green robe approached Shuang Ning on purpose?"
Yu Baiting was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Otherwise, this would be too coincidental."
Qiao Leng was startled and said, "Sir, do you suspect that the young man in green robe has ulterior motives?"
"Everyone in Gunzhou City knows that this girl is my heart and soul. Now the second prince and the sixth prince are fighting for the position of governor, which has stirred up the undercurrent in Gunzhou City. At this time, an extremely powerful
A young man suddenly appeared and saved Shuang Ning by coincidence, so how could I not be suspicious?"
Yu Baiting looked indifferent.
"What do you mean, sir?"
Qiao Leng asked softly.
Yu Baiting said calmly: "Didn't you say that they are also in Yangku Town now? Then go and find out his details."
After a pause, he continued: "You and Mr. Wen, bring some precious elixirs with you to meet this person in the name of repaying your kindness."
"I only have one request. No matter who he is or what his intentions are, let him stop trying to get close to Shuang Ning. Otherwise, I, Yu Baiting, will be the first to spare him!"
After saying that, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his whole body exuded a terrifying power.
The love for protecting the calf is deep, that’s probably the case.
Qiao Leng nodded and followed the order.
But after leaving the palace, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew that the clan leader's suspicion was justified.
However, he himself did not think that the young man in green robe had ulterior motives.
However, Qiao Leng also knew that it would be useless if he spoke lightly.
…
Fuxiang Inn.
In the lobby on the first floor.
Chen Jinlong was drinking with a group of clan members.
"Brother Chen, so you come to Gunzhou City this time to take the Tianyuan Academy exam?"
A young man in a gorgeous robe asked with a smile.
"Exactly."
Chen Jinlong nodded absently, but felt quite bitter in his heart.
If he couldn't stay in Yunhe County any longer, who would be willing to stay away from home and hang out in Gunzhou City?
Someone raised a glass and said with a smile: "With your talents and qualifications, you will definitely have a chance to pass the assessment. When you become the heir of Tianyuan Academy, why worry about being unable to rise to the top? Come, let's have another drink together!"
Chen Jinlong smiled and raised his glass. He casually glanced at the door of the inn, and was shocked all over. He spat out the wine in his mouth with a pop, choking and blushing all over his face.
There was a turmoil in my heart.
Why is this guy here!?
I left Yunhe County this time just to stay far away so as not to meet this evil star again, but God is so cruel, isn't he?
"Brother Chen, who did you see that made you so excited?"
Someone said, glanced around, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I understand, it turned out that I saw a great beauty! My dear, is she too beautiful, isn't she?" Others at the same table couldn't help but look at her subconsciously.
I saw a man and a woman standing in front of the counter at the entrance of the inn. The man was dressed in a green robe. He looked handsome and indifferent, with nothing to pay attention to.
When they saw the woman, everyone's eyes lit up with surprise.
The woman also wore a green robe with wide sleeves, long black hair in a bun, a slender neck, and a beautiful face. Although her fair face was as delicate as mutton-fat jade, it was pure and bright even though it was not painted with powder.
Especially a pair of eyes, their expressions are flowing as they look forward, as if they are as full as autumn water, and they seem to be able to draw away the soul of a person.
Even that figure is extremely graceful and graceful, with shoulders as sharp as a knife and a waist as thick as a hunk of cloth, with peerless grace.
At this moment, the sounds in the originally bustling hall on the first floor were much quieter, and many men looked over.
Such a peerless beauty is extremely rare in this Yangku town.
But Chen Jinlong was like a quail. He wanted to bury his head on the ground and didn't dare to look back. He thought silently in his heart, don't be discovered by the evil star, don't...
The young man in the Chinese robe next to him had ambiguous eyes and said with a smile: "These two people must have just arrived in Yangku Town, and they look very strange. Everyone, please pay attention. I will go meet them for a while and help you find out."
He stood up and was about to walk over, but Chen Jinlong grabbed him and pulled him back to the seat.
As soon as the young man in the Chinese robe was stunned, he saw Chen Jinlong gritting his teeth and lowering his voice, scolding viciously: "Do you fucking know who that person is? You dare to take advantage of the woman next to him, don't bother us even if you want to die!!"
If it wasn't for the occasion, he would have wanted to slap the young man in the gorgeous robe on the face.
I have seen people seeking death, but I have never seen anyone seeking death like this. I am so confused. How come I know such a fool?
The young man in the Chinese robe was so scolded that he looked confused and said blankly: "But...but he has already come over."
"Um?"
Chen Jinlong was startled, and immediately his scalp became numb, and a cold air rushed from the end of his spine to his forehead.
At this moment, behind him, a surprised voice sounded, "You are not that..."
Before Su Yi could finish speaking, Chen Jinlong stood up. When he turned around, his face was filled with a fawning and frightened stiff smile, and he said: "Ha, it turns out it's Mr. Su, I'm Chen Jinlong. You still remember me, I'm really surprised.
I'm flattered."
He stammered and felt stiff all over. He was completely frightened rather than flattered.
His companions also sensed something was wrong and were startled and confused. Who is this guy who frightened Master Chen like this?
Su Yi said: "Why are you here?"
"I...I...I plan to take the Tianyuan Academy exam, and I just arrived in Yangku Town today..."
Chen Jinlong almost cried. How could he say that he left his hometown just to avoid you, Su Yi, and planned to hide far away in Gunzhou City?
Never would I have thought that people are not as good as God, but I still got bumped into...
Su Yi said: "What a coincidence. I have just arrived in Yangku Town. When do you plan to go to Gunzhou City?"
"Uh... I plan to leave early tomorrow morning."
Speaking of this, Chen Jinlong suddenly realized something was wrong. He asked why? Could it be...
When he saw Su Yi, he nodded and said: "It's just right. Meeting an old friend in a foreign country is a happy event. We can go together tomorrow."
After that, he turned around and left.
Chen Jinlong was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.
