Chapter 139 I haven't been a big brother for many years
Chapter 139 I haven’t been a big brother for many years
Chen Xuan, Gan Baobao, and Dao Baifeng walked all the way here.
It was a rare occasion to have a good meal.
On the one hand, it is because the carriages and horses are tired and inconvenient.
Furthermore, it was because he had just returned from Xixia and had not seen the two girls for a long time. He was deeply in love with them and could not let them have a good meal at all.
Nowadays, with such a table of delicacies from all over the world, it is inevitable that people will have their fingers full and their appetites whetted.
Chen Xuan didn't show any politeness and started eating as he thought of himself.
On the contrary, Gan Baobao still held Xiao Zhao's hand and insisted on pulling her over to eat something.
Chen Xuan didn't say a word. Xiao Zhao didn't dare to move his chopsticks, so he could only stand beside him silently, like a little maid.
Gan Baobao wanted to persuade him more, but Chen Xuan put the glass down and said indifferently.
"Pour the wine."
Gan Baobao had no choice but to scold softly.
"Why don't you drink it to death, you piece of shit?"
Although he was helpless, he honestly poured her a glass of wine.
On the other side, Dao Baifeng happened to eat a delicious dish, and couldn't help but shine in front of him.
"Come and taste this."
As she spoke, she stretched out her chopsticks, and Chen Xuan opened his mouth naturally.
At first glance, with wine and meat, and two beauties waiting on him, he looked like a dandy young master.
Seeing him so proud and happy, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but feel sad again in his heart.
If I hadn't promised him back then, I would have accepted this Mingjiao mess, so why would I do this now?
The Mingjiao has millions of followers, and its management is complicated and extremely troublesome.
When the former leader Yang Dingtian disappeared, the Ming sect fell into pieces.
Among the four Dharma kings, Dai Qisi, the purple-robed Dragon King, apostatized.
The golden retriever lion king Xie Xun only wants to obtain the dragon-slaying sword to avenge his wife.
Green-winged Bat King Wei Yixiao sticks to the religion.
Yin Tianzheng, the White-browed Eagle King, led his followers to leave and established the Tianying Sect.
It can be seen from this that Yin Tianzheng himself is very ambitious.
Zhang Wuji is his grandson. Compared with Xiao Zhao, the daughter of the purple-shirted Dragon King, Yin Tianzheng would naturally choose to support Zhang Wuji in taking charge of the Ming Cult.
In addition, the golden-haired lion king among the four great Dharma kings of Mingjiao has also returned. He and Zhang Wuji have a deep affection as father and son.
Finally, and most importantly, Dai Qisi, the Purple-shirted Dragon King, came back alone, bringing news of Chen Xuan's death and expressing her support for Zhang Wuji.
As a result, three of the four Dharma Kings supported Zhang Wuji in taking charge of Mingjiao.
What can Xiao Zhao do in this situation?
She felt miserable beyond words, but she didn't know that Dai Qisi's conspiracy was behind this.
After Dai Qisi poisoned Chen Xuan, she tried to disintegrate his influence, so she strongly promoted Zhang Wuji to succeed as the leader of the Ming Cult.
Even Xiao Zhao himself was kept in the dark.
Now she can't express her pain and can only secretly feel sad.
Just when she felt sad, she listened to Chen Xuan's faint words.
"Why do I always feel like something is wrong? Should we have a maid here?"
"..."
Gan Baobao and Dao Baifeng were silent.
They poured wine and served food, just to provide cover for Xiao Zhao.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan still asked her to serve him by name.
The two girls couldn't openly oppose Chen Xuan, so they couldn't say much at the moment and could only eat by themselves.
Xiao Zhao's eyes flashed with tears. Although he felt aggrieved, everything was Dai Qisi's conspiracy.
She couldn't reason with him, so she could only walk to Chen Xuan, pick up the jug and start pouring wine.
But Chen Xuan raised his hand and said indifferently.
"There is no need to drink wine. I feel very uncomfortable now. Please help me solve it."
Xiao Zhao was confused and asked, "What?"
Chen Xuan didn't say much, just minding his own food.
How did Xiao Zhao know about his dirty thoughts? He just stood there dumbfounded and didn't know why.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Gan Baobao stood up and whispered a few words to Xiao Zhao.
But after explaining this, Xiao Zhao almost threw the white porcelain wine bottle on Chen Xuan's head with his backhand, cursing him for being ridiculous.
However, Chen Xuan was as stable as a mountain, and looked like he had to deal with it like this.
Xiao Zhao's face turned red, and he said he was angry and ashamed, but thinking about how he had held Zhang Wuji's hand by the lake, he felt sorry for him.
Coupled with the fact that Dai Qisi poisoned her, she also felt very guilty.
After several hesitations, she put down the wine bottle and slowly got under the table.
"snort!"
Seeing her being so obedient, Chen Xuan was not only unhappy, but also became more and more angry, thinking to himself.
If this girl is so obedient, she might have gotten close to Zhang Wuji a long time ago.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became.
In the end, I couldn't even eat the food.
Seeing that the atmosphere was so dull, Gan Baobao and Dao Baifeng chatted with each other for a few words to lighten the atmosphere.
Dao Baifeng pointed to a porcelain bowl of beef stew on the table and said.
"Good sister, try this dish. Do you think it looks like the yak we saw on the road?"
"Well, it tastes pretty good, but the meat is too thick and not very chewy."
"I also don't think it tastes good when stewed. It would be better to make jerky."
Without even saying a few words, Gan Baobao couldn't help but think of Zhong Ling and said smoothly.
"The relationship has improved. I'll go ask the person in charge later and see if I can bring a few kilograms back to my girl so that she can have a taste."
She said it casually, but she didn't want Chen Xuan to say it quietly.
"When will Madam bring Zhong Ling over so that I can have a taste?"
Gan Baobao is familiar with him, so he won't be used to him.
"Hey, you bitch is not afraid of choking to death if you eat too much! If you think about it again, I will give you a knife in the middle of the night!"
She pretended to be tough but always looked gentle. Chen Xuan didn't pay attention.
In fact, he didn't say this to bring trouble to Gan Baobao, but to Xiao Zhao who was under the table.
The more he thought about Xiao Zhao and Zhang Wuji being together, the angrier he became, even if he said a few sarcastic words to disgust her.
However, Xiao Zhao only thought that this would be better at this time. At least Dai Qisi would not be in danger of her life.
But then I thought about it, Dai Qisi poisoned him and secretly encouraged him to destroy everything he had in the Ming Cult.
Now that I have such deep hatred, I am afraid that I will inevitably die.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhao did not dare to reveal Dai Qisi's whereabouts, and felt increasingly guilty.
Chen Xuan was sulking, while Dao Baifeng and Gan Baobao were minding their own business and eating happily.
There is a plateau grassland at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, which is rich in mountain delicacies, including some dishes they have never eaten.
Although they had no shortage of delicious food in Lingjiu Palace before, they were basically offering offerings from the thirty-six holes and seventy-two islands.
The Tianshan Mountains are originally a land of bitter cold, frozen for thousands of miles. Without strong martial arts attainments, it would be difficult for ordinary people to find any game.
Now that I'm here, I'm quite used to it.
Chen Xuan was not in the mood to eat at the moment, he just took a sip of wine from time to time.
When everyone was relaxing, suddenly a maid sneaked in from outside the door.
She seemed worried about being discovered and was extremely nervous. After entering the door, she didn't even look at it and just held her hands in front of her as a courtesy.
"Miss! White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng led five scattered people and thousands of followers to go down the mountain at starry night and disappeared without a trace!"
After she finished speaking, she waited anxiously for Xiao Zhao to speak.
But he didn't want to raise his head and take a look. He didn't see Xiao Zhao at all. Instead, there were three strangers in the room.
The young man wearing a thin Xuanqing shirt slumped back on the chair and waved his hands faintly.
"She is not free now. I already know the matter. You can go down."
"Who are you?!"
"Me? I'm Chen Xuan."
His careless words made the maid feel like she was struck by lightning.
"Chen Xuan?! You are the hero Chen Xuan who defeated the masters of the six sects and saved my disciple from danger?!"
"Am I so powerful?"
Chen Xuan smiled lazily, and the maid stepped forward and wanted to say a few more words.
But with a quick glance, I suddenly noticed something. I felt embarrassed and hurriedly thanked him and left.
As soon as she walked away, Xiao Zhao hurriedly climbed out and said hurriedly.
"Why are the White-browed Eagle King and the Wusan people gone? Could it be that they want to apostatize!"
Chen Xuan glanced at her faintly, "Don't speak yet."
Xiao Zhao's pretty face turned slightly red and she hurriedly rinsed her mouth.
But this matter is a trouble after all. The White-browed Eagle King is very ambitious. In his early years, he betrayed the Ming Sect and founded the Sky Eagle Sect.
It can be said that he has already had a criminal record.
But this time the trouble was more serious. Not only did the White-browed Eagle King defect, but even the Wu San people left.
As a result, basically the entire middle and high-level management of Mingjiao has been hollowed out.
Although there is no news yet, Chen Xuan knows very well that Xiao Zhao's reputation in the Mingjiao is more than a little bit worse than Zhang Wuji's.
After all, she is a daughter's family, and more importantly, she is the daughter of the purple-shirted Dragon King who apostatized and ran away.
Dai Qisi, the purple-robed Dragon King, was so beautiful that many men in the Ming Cult had their hearts set on her. However, she ended up getting close to Han Qianye, the enemy of the Ming Cult.
Whether it is from the perspective of Mingjiao's general principles or personal grievances, some people will be dissatisfied now that Han Qianye's daughter returns to take charge of Mingjiao.
Relatively speaking, Zhang Wuji is the grandson of Yin Tianzheng and has the support of the Golden Retriever Lion King Xie Xun, so it is much easier to convince the public than Xiao Zhao.
Chen Xuan's sudden return this time will undoubtedly cause shock to Mingjiao.
Once Yin Tianzheng, the White-browed Eagle King, leaves, everyone else will inevitably make a break with Chen Xuan, whether they want to stay in the Ming Cult or not.
Chen Xuan didn't need to think twice to know what Yin Tianzheng would say.
He would definitely spread rumors that Chen Xuan wanted to kill him in order to seize power and had to defect to Mingjiao as a last resort.
As a result, everyone in the Ming Cult was in a panic, and it was difficult not to fall apart.
As Chen Xuan has always understood, the court and the world are two distinct worlds.
Just like the Lone Ranger and the gang brothers, they have two sets of rules for life.
At the beginning, Chen Xuan knew that he was not suitable to be in charge of Mingjiao, so he intended to let Xiao Zhao, who had some connections with Mingjiao, manage it on his behalf.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhao was also driven out now, and the entire Mingjiao even fell apart.
It's better now.
He just wanted to have a hot meal, but he didn't expect Yin Tianzheng to overturn the table.
"...Interesting~ so interesting~"
Chen Xuan sneered to himself, while Gan Baofeng and Dao Baifeng looked at each other, a little confused.
Not long after, Xiao Zhao came back in a hurry. Before anyone could get closer, he hurriedly shouted.
"The White-browed Eagle King led his people to rebel, what should we do now?"
Chen Xuan did not reply immediately.
According to the current situation, if you want to recover losses, the best way is to directly recover the person.
Yin Tianzheng led thousands of people down the mountain, and they would not be able to go very far.
But there is no point in doing so.
Since Yin Tianzheng has the intention to rebel, even if he is forced to come back now, if the trouble does not go well in the end, he will only end up fighting.
If he sacrifices his life to become a benevolent man, it will actually prove that Chen Xuan is threatening the elders of the Ming Cult with the intention of seizing the position of leader of the Ming Cult.
Although Chen Xuan really wanted to do this, things are different now. Mingjiao is no longer surrounded by six major sects.
If this matter were to spread out now, I am afraid that all branches of Mingjiao would be panicked.
When the time comes, if Zhang Wuji tries to persuade him, it will only help Zhang Wuji.
Chen Xuan knew the trouble and frowned unconsciously.
The two girls he brought with him this time.
Gan Baobao is a gentle woman. It's okay to act coquettishly and play some tricks on her daughter's family, but she can't talk about giving advice on such things.
Although Dao Baifeng is a princess, the country of Dali has good weather and is located on the border of southern Xinjiang. It has not fought a war for many years.
She is afraid and can't cope with it now.
Just when Chen Xuan was secretly hesitant, Xiao Zhao said calmly.
"In that case, we might as well just tear everything down! Knock it all down and start over!"
"Start over again?"
"That's right! The foundation of Mingjiao does not lie in Yin Tianzheng, nor in the Wusan people, but in the tens of thousands of followers! Yin Tianzheng can apostatize and run away, but the thousands of followers cannot take him with him! I think it is better to let these
All those who have rebellious intentions should leave and establish a new religion!"
As soon as he said this, even though this girl had been sucking hard under the table just now, Chen Xuan couldn't help but look at her.
This desperate statement can be said to be extremely decisive and decisive. It is difficult for anyone without the great strategy of Ayutthaya to determine his mind.
Xiao Zhao pointed it out without hesitation. He undoubtedly has great decision-making ability.
Although Chen Xuan also thought about breaking the jar, he has always been hesitant, but he didn't expect that now his momentum has weakened.
At that moment, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said jokingly.
"Han Xiaozhao, you have become my little boy, and you have enlightened me inexplicably. I will not let you idle in the future."
Xiao Zhao frowned when he heard this and was speechless.
But all joking aside, this matter is definitely not as simple as giving up and quitting.
Since Yin Tianzheng dares to betray Mingjiao, sooner or later he will turn against Chen Xuan directly.
The Guangmingding General Forum is now short of manpower, and is still losing more.
The first thing to do now is to stabilize the morale of the army and let some hesitant disciples stay.
But Chen Xuan was in trouble as to how this matter should be handled and who should handle it.
After hesitating for a long time, he listened to Xiao Zhao's words.
"I'll figure it out!"
"you?"
"At least I'm better off than you are."
What Xiao Zhao said is true, even though her young face is still a bit childish, at first glance she still looks like a beautiful embryo that has not yet matured.
But at this moment, she was full of heroic spirit, quite a bit like a woman and a man.
Even though Chen Xuan hated her and Zhang Wuji, he couldn't help but nodded and asked her to deal with the mess left by White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng first.
