“Uncle is here.
When Chen Mu came to Xu Hongyu’s yard, some maids saw him and quickly saluted Chen Mu. Then some of them went inside to report, and some bowed to Chen Mu and said, “Uncle, the lady is not here now.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Chen Mu spoke calmly.
If Xu Hongyu is not in the courtyard, then she must be deep in the Yu family’s land to study the Kanshui Diagram. And a maid just went in to report it, which means Xiao He should be there.
Sure enough, soon a figure who looked like a maid in green clothes came out from inside, but it was Xiao He. It was quite rare for Chen Mu to see Xiao He wearing ordinary maid clothes like this. Most of them were inappropriate. An eye-catching gray robe, or some accompanying clothes that are slightly inferior to Xu Hongyu’s clothes.
As soon as Xiao He saw Chen Mu, he led Chen Mu to a quiet place and whispered: “I heard that something happened in my uncle’s yard last night?”
Although he suppressed the commotion in Chen Mu’s yard last night, there were many servants and patrols outside, and there were many people talking about it during the day. Xiao He was also a know-it-all in the Yu family, and soon it was She knew about it, but since Chen Mu didn’t make any move, it must be Chen Mu’s reason, so she didn’t take the initiative to look for it. Until Chen Mu came to the door now, she guessed that he might want to talk about it, so she quietly Chu asked in a low voice.
“It’s nothing.”
Chen Mu shook his head and told Xiao He about the Xueyin Tower. On the one hand, Xiao He and Xu Hongyu were no longer outsiders to him, just like Chen Yue. On the other hand, Xiao He was concerned about the relationship between the Xueyin Tower and the He family. I may know more than him.
Xiao He was surprised when he heard this, but quickly suppressed it.
“Then it seems that the young lady kept your matter a secret and didn’t even tell the head of the family. She is right.”
When Chen Mu showed his strength, there was no news that the four major sects were going to settle in Yu County. At that time, in Xiao He’s opinion, it would be appropriate for Chen Mu to hide the news or just tell the senior officials of the Yu family, but then Judging from the subsequent developments and the current situation, it can only be said that Xu Hongyu chose the safest approach for Chen Mu.
Chen Mu looked calm at the moment and said: “You should know Xueyin Tower better than me. Tell me about my apparent strength, what price will Xueyin Tower probably charge?”
Xiaohe looked at Chen Mu and saw that Chen Mu’s expression was calm and relaxed at this time. There was no trace of the nervousness that he had just experienced an assassination last night and was targeted by Xueyinlou. A few ripples could not help but appear in his beautiful eyes.
For this magnanimity alone, absolutely no one among the younger generation in Yucheng can compare.
“About 700,000 taels?”
Xiao He thought for a while and said: “Xueyin Tower emphasizes blood concealment without leaving a trace and killing people silently. Your strength is part of it. The key is also the identity of the white-clothed guard of the Demon Slayer Division. He and the young lady have already arranged a marriage. Recently, they have been Stay at home without leaving home.”
Chen Mu touched his chin.
Xiaohe’s assessment was a bit more than his estimate. He estimated that it was around five to six hundred thousand taels. In fact, he was a little tempted by this silver tael. After all, the current practice of bone forging can be said to cost money like water. If It’s not that he had accumulated a lot of silver coins before, but now he might be reduced to borrowing money from Xu Hongyu. That would be a bit too shameful. It’s just a pity that he can’t get the silver coins. In short, if he doesn’t have enough money, he will go to He He in the future. Home ‘borrow’ a little.
“Then tell me how much the He family will have to bid for the strength I showed last night and Xueyin Tower taking action again.”
Chen Mu thought for a while and asked again.
Xiao He was still looking at Chen Mu with brilliant eyes.
In less than three months, he officially entered the bone forging process. Although she knew that it would not be difficult for Chen Mu to enter the bone forging process, such progress still made her yearn for it, mainly because Chen Mu also mastered two artistic conceptions.
“Considering your strength and all your status and background, I’m afraid it will cost tens of millions of taels, maybe more than that.”
Xiaohe thought for a while and said softly.
The key point is that Chen Mu is not alone. He belongs to the White Guards of the Demon Slayer Division and is an external force of Qixuan Sect. The stronger the strength and talent he shows, the higher the price of killing Chen Mu will be.
In terms of Chen Mu’s strength alone, if Chen Mu were to die silently, he would probably have to have someone with the five internal organs realm take action, which in itself was a completely different worth, perhaps millions of taels.
In addition, Chen Mu is the uncle of the Yu family and is highly regarded. After experiencing the first assassination, it seems very likely that Chen Mu will move deeper into the Yu family’s residence in the Xueyin Tower and stay with the Yu family’s great-grandfather in the five internal organs realm. Together.
In this way, the difficulty of silent assassination will be greatly increased!
Furthermore, the Qixuan Sect may also interfere. If Xueyinlou is to assassinate Chen Mu, tens of millions of taels may be just the beginning.
“Well, as I expected, the He family probably can’t afford this money.”
Chen Mu said calmly.
The four major families in Yu County naturally have more than 10 million taels of wealth, but the problem is that in today’s troubled times, money left in the hands is like scrap metal. Only when it is spent to train talents or thugs can it be truly useful.
It is impossible for the He family to have a lot of silver in their inventory. After all, if anything happens, silver is useless, but if a group of elite swordsmen in Yijin realm are cultivated, it will be a very useful force.
“Most likely it won’t work. I heard from the young lady that the Yu family only has a few million taels of silver at most… But you’d better go to the Ancient Courtyard to practice for a while.”
Xiaohe thought for a while and said.
The ancient courtyard is the deepest part of the Yu family’s residence. It is also where the Yu family’s great-grandfather lives. It is also where the Yu family’s treasury, Kanshui map and other fundamental things are located.
In Xiao He’s opinion, it is basically impossible for the He family to spend all their money to hire assassins from Xueyinlou. The reason is also very simple. Even if the He family can really come up with so much silver, it is impossible to hide such a huge transfer of silver. In the eyes of the Yu family, that would not be considered an assassination at all, it would be an extremely stupid act.
Once there is that kind of action.
Chen Muda can go directly to the Supervision Department to stay!
As a white-clothed guard of the Demon Slayer Division, Chen Mu belongs to the Qixuan Sect and has shown enough talent and strength. Not to mention that the Qixuan Sect may make an exception and recruit Chen Mu into the inner sect. At least the supervisor cannot let Chen Mu. Something happened to Mu.
At that time, the He family will be in trouble from all sides. It has not only angered the supervisor, but also exhausted itself. It will not be able to kill Chen Mu, and it will even face various subsequent retaliations from the Yu family. Even if they do not collapse on the spot, they will have to Everything is scattered.
Compared to hiring Xueyinlou.
On the contrary, Xiao He felt that it was more likely that the He family would just break the pot and invite their great-grandfather of the Five Zang Realm to look for an opportunity to attack Chen Mu, so he thought that Chen Mu might as well just move to the ancient courtyard and live with Xu Hongyu Practice retreat together.
“An ancient courtyard?”
Chen Mu looked at Xiao He and nodded slightly, and said, “Well, actually, I’ve recently reached a bottleneck in my understanding of the Zhenlei Concept, and I’m just trying to take a look at other atlases.”
Xiao He looked at Chen Mu and blinked his eyes, and said comfortingly: “The second step of the artistic conception is very difficult. You only have one copy of the rubbing map. It’s what ordinary people should do when they encounter bottlenecks. With your talent, you can go to participate in it.” It is more suitable to understand other artistic conceptions. If you can cultivate four or five kinds of artistic conceptions at the same time, it will not be much worse than the second step of any artistic conception.”
“If you can practice four or five kinds of artistic conceptions among the eight phases, then in terms of power, you may indeed be able to compete with the artistic conception of the second step, but it will still be inferior in other aspects.” Chen Mu said.
Artistic conception is not a big deal. Each artistic conception of the Eight Phase Diagram is actually not bad in itself. For example, compared with the branches of the “Five Elements Artistic Conception” such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, it is enough to compete or even be slightly better. It’s just that what he has encountered recently ‘Heart Sword’ and ‘Blood Fiend’ happen to be of a higher level.
If four or five kinds of wind, thunder, water, and fire can be brought together, in terms of pure power, it can indeed compete with the ordinary second-step artistic conception, but it is only in terms of pure power… After all, if you can control the explosion of four or five kinds of artistic conception at the same time, it will affect your own The wear and tear will be quite terrifying, and it will collapse after just a few hits. The second step of the artistic conception directly uses part of the power of heaven and earth, which is almost endless.
……
“He finally wants to go to the ancient courtyard to understand the artistic conception?”
Yu Zuyi stood in the yard, listening to Xiao He who came to report, and couldn’t help but smile.
It is so difficult to understand the second step of the artistic conception, especially before entering the realm of the five internal organs. Although there are people like this in Yu County, they are all in their twilight years. After summarizing their life experiences, they finally have some understanding, but Their energy and blood have long since declined, and their muscles and bones are rotten. Even if they understand the second step of the artistic conception, they are already in their old age, let alone have no mobility.
In his opinion, with Chen Mu’s qualifications, if he had studied other artistic conception pictures earlier and understood two or even three different artistic conceptions, he would be almost invincible in the Bone Forging Realm. If he entered the Five Zang Realm in the future, he would be able to Not a weakling.
But young people, it’s a good thing to be ambitious.
Therefore, he did not force Chen Mu to go to the ancient courtyard to understand other artistic conceptions before.
Now that Chen Mu has encountered difficulties, he has changed his mind and wants to understand other maps of the Yu family. In his opinion, it is also a good thing. It belongs to young people who know how to advance and retreat. He is quite satisfied with this grandson-in-law.
“There is one more thing to report…”
Xiao He looked around and saw some maids and attendants standing there.
Yu Zuyi waved his hand calmly, and all the attendants retreated, leaving only Xiao He in the courtyard.
Xiaohe organized her words and briefly stated what happened last night. The assassination by Xueyinlou should not be publicized everywhere, but she still wanted to let Yu Zuyi know. This was what Chen Mu meant. After all, the He family probably already knew about it. There is no need to hide this matter from the top management of the Yu family, and in the future, all the informants of the Yu family will need to keep an eye on the He family.
Yu Zuyi didn’t know what Xiao He was going to report, so he just listened quietly. But when he heard about the Xueyinlou assassination, his expression immediately changed. Then when he heard Xiaohe said that Chen Mu had defeated the Xueyinlou assassin, he was even more shocked. Not small.
Bloody Tower.
One of the four major sects settled in other states.
He, the head of the Yu family, is naturally very familiar with it. All kinds of information about the Xueyin Tower had been gathered towards him like snowflakes a long time ago.
It can be said that Xueyinlou’s assassinations are rarely missed. Chen Mu actually survived an assassination last night… No, even according to Xiao He, he repelled the Xueyinlou assassin. This shocked him greatly.
They even doubted the truth of what Xiao He said.
Maybe he was not the assassin of Xueyin Tower, but he was just mistaken by Chen Mu.
Yu Zuyi frowned and said: “With his strength, the assassins from Xueyin Tower are at least at the bone forging level and above, and can master the artistic conception. How did he repel them?”
Xiaohe heard the suspicion in Yu Zuyi’s words, bowed his head to Yu Zuyi, and said: “Actually, my uncle has already practiced Yijin Perfection a long time ago, and also mastered the two artistic conceptions of Xunfeng and Zhenlei. It’s just that the young lady is worried about the master. It happened again, so I hid it. The He family didn’t know that this time my uncle had broken through the bone forging realm, and his strength was far beyond the Xueyinlou’s expectations, so he repelled the assassin. “
Yu Zuyi was stunned on the spot.
Forging the bone realm, mastering the artistic conception of wind and thunder? Xiaohe’s words only gave him a feeling of fantasy, so that he couldn’t believe it for a moment, but soon he suddenly thought that someone had made an attack at the Yu family’s residence in the past, trying to steal a Yu family bloodline, but Someone secretly took action with the thunderous artistic conception, intercepted him midway, killed the intruder, and prevented the subsequent occurrence of the incident.
At that time, it was never known who the person who took action was, and it was even suspected to be someone from the Xue or Xie family.
Yu Zuyi was silent for a while, then slowly said: “So, Tian Jifeng, the spot-faced man, should have died at his hands at that time?”
“yes.”
Xiao He lowered his head and said, “Actually, the young lady didn’t know it at that time. Even though she deliberately concealed it when she found out later, it happened for a reason. I hope the master of the family can forgive me…”
There was a brief silence in the courtyard.
Yu Zuyi looked up at the sky.
If we think about it again at this time, there is even He Mingxuan of the He family who died under the Thunderous Artistic Concept. The murderer has never been found. At that time, Chen Mu was working under Xu Hongyu. One by one, one after another, finally… In a series, several problems that had troubled him for a long time originally came from here. At that time, he always felt as if there was an invisible big hand controlling it.
I never thought that this invisible big hand would eventually come from around me.
A long time passed.
Yu Zuyi finally sighed and said: “What’s your fault? It’s just that I underestimated him. His talent is far beyond Yichuan. If he enters the Qixuan Sect, he may be able to become a true disciple.”
After a while, Yu Zuyi waved to Xiao He, indicating that Xiao He could leave. Xiao He bowed respectfully, then turned around and exited the yard, leaving Yu Zuyi alone in the yard.
Bone forging…
Wind and thunder…
Yu Zuyi looked up at the sky. Until now, the waves in his heart still could not calm down for a long time.
My grandson-in-law is really… a big surprise.
only.
If the He family can get accurate information from the Xueyin Tower, I am afraid they will be completely uneasy. With Chen Mu’s qualifications, if he can enter the realm of the five internal organs in the future, the situation of the He family and the Yu family will be completely reversed.
After all, the member of the He family who is in the five internal organs state is actually very old, but has not yet reached his twilight years. He is better than the Yu family, but compared to Chen Mu, there is a huge difference, and the He family has been in the past two years. There were continuous losses, and even a late-stage talent like He Mingzhen disappeared… Well, it seems that it may have been Chen Mu’s handiwork.
The He and Yu families have been at odds with each other for many years, but the gap was quietly smoothed over by Chen Mu alone.
Now think about it carefully.
Yu Zuyi still felt like a dream in his heart. After all, Chen Mu’s origin was now known to everyone. He was truly born at the bottom. At first, he was just an ordinary servant with no reputation, and was single-handedly promoted by Xu Hongyu from Nancheng District.
Now, unknowingly, it has reached such a height.
“Ruby…”
“You were born into the Yu family. You are indeed our Yu family’s good fortune and our Yu family’s blessing…”
Yu Zuyi murmured.
After reading a lot of comments, I can only say that everyone has their own preferences, and there is no way that a book can be filled with compact plots such as battles. Moreover, the number of updates now exceeds 10,000 per day, and it takes seven or eight hours to write. It is even more impossible to improve the quality to a very high level and scrutinize it carefully. I can only try my best to make the story not too boring. I hope all readers will understand.
