Chapter 119: Old Pillar of State Zhao
"My Lord!"
You Xian ran over from outside the courtyard, his expression slightly unusual.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Yan was exercising his muscles and bones, looked in the direction of the sound, felt a whim, and teased, "You are so flustered, don't tell me you picked a beautiful girl and are hungry and thirsty?"
"I'll allow you to leave work early today!"
As he spoke, he winked.
He looked just like he understood everything.
"No!"
"My Lord, what are you talking about?"
You Xian couldn't help but be stunned and stopped his steps.
He paused, patted his chest, and continued, "Your subordinate is full of righteousness; how can I abandon official business for female color!"
That tone and demeanor were said so righteously and decisively.
As if he loved official business very much.
Although he had indeed just picked a little girl who was to his liking from Wangchuan Gambling Hall, intending to take her as a concubine...
"Fine, no more jokes!"
Chen Yan glanced at someone who was pretending, everyone was a man, who didn't understand whom, waved his hand, restrained his playful demeanor, and said nonchalantly, "You came in such a hurry, what happened?"
Play was play, trouble was trouble, but something that could make You Xian run over so urgently would definitely not be a simple matter...
However, anyway, if the sky fell, the Grand Chancellor would hold it up, so there was no need to panic at all.
You Xian slapped his head, then remembered the main business, and said truthfully, "My Lord, Old Pillar of State Zhao's two direct grandsons have come to the door!"
"They want to demand an explanation from our Mingjing Si!"
As soon as he came back, he happened to run into the Zhao direct grandsons who were blocking the door to find trouble.
And they brought quite a few people.
They had the posture of absolutely not letting it go...
"You say who?!"
"Who came to the door?!"
"Who wants to demand an explanation from my Mingjing Si?!"
Chen Yan, who caught the key words, changed his face visibly and blurted out.
But it wasn't anger, it was excitement!
Those eyes, which had no waves before, instantly became bright, as if he had eaten bee poop...
"It's Old Pillar of State Zhao's direct grandsons, the two born to the Duke of Chu's Heir's wife!"
You Xian heard this, repeated it again, and introduced it in detail.
He paused and continued, "They are outside the main gate right now!"
"Together with them are..."
Zhao Qian had many wives and concubines, and many children and grandchildren, but he only had these two direct grandsons, the treasures held in the palm of his hand.
You Xian hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by the impatient Chen Yan: "Hahahaha!"
"Go, go, go, hurry!"
"Can't let the two Young Masters Zhao wait for a long time!"
As he spoke, he grabbed You Xian's shoulder and ran toward the path he came from impatiently.
He was extremely "hospitable," not wanting to stay for even a moment.
"These Zhao direct grandsons came to the door to make trouble; why is Brother so excited?"
Yuwen Ze, who took all this into his eyes, scratched his head, didn't understand, and asked suspiciously, "More excited than after raiding Wangchuan Gambling Hall..."
He couldn't understand his brother's reaction just now at all, completely confused.
Such a background-heavy victim came to the door to find trouble; shouldn't he have a headache?
But the result was the exact opposite...
Li Tan appeared behind Yuwen Ze at some point, his voice sounded faintly: "Because this is, rushing to send the handle to the door; can Big Brother not be excited?"
"He is already very restrained..."
"Let's go watch the show too!"
Sometimes, Li Tan really admired and envied Chen Yan's luck...
Creatures like idiots are hard to find, especially those produced by clans, and as a result, they sent themselves to the door!
If it were him, Li Tan, he would have jumped up...
Outside the Mingjing Si.
"That bastard Chen Yan is really bold!"
Zhao Qingshi was full of displeasure, full of anger, a jade belt inlaid with a fist-sized emerald around his waist was particularly eye-catching, and he said to Chen Cijiu sharply, "It's fine to act recklessly toward your Duke of Wei Mansion..."
"This time he actually dared to move soil on the head of Tai Sui and attack the gambling hall of my Duke of Chu Mansion!"
During the speech, his chest rose and fell, full of fire.
Zhao Qingshi, Zhao Qian's eldest direct grandson.
"This bastard doesn't put anyone in his eyes; he must be taught a lesson!"
Zhao Tishou put his hands on his hips, his eyebrows were slender, and he said coldly, "Let him know what it means to have three eyes on Ma Wangye!"
Provoking other clans in Chang'an is irrelevant, but now he is riding on the head of my Duke of Chu Mansion Zhao family; it is truly unbearable!
Does he really think my Zhao family is the Duke of Wei Mansion that has lost the old Pillar of State, and can be taken at will?
"Exactly!"
Chen Cijiu heard this, nodded repeatedly, added fuel to the fire, and said, "If we don't cure that Chen Yan, he'll be floating without a side..."
"Must not let him go easily!"
Obviously, the attitude of the two Zhao sons was exactly what Chen Cijiu wanted.
Originally, he wanted to use gambling to make Chen Yan addicted and lose his ambition, but he didn't expect the gambling hall to be sealed directly...
But it doesn't matter, just borrow the momentum and push the boat!
"Rest assured, this young master will definitely make him straighten his position!"
Zhao Qingshi grinned, stared at the gate of the Mingjing Si, and sneered.
He had already prepared countless ways to deal with that bastard...
Let him deeply understand the painful end of offending the Duke of Chu Mansion!
"Big Brother, Second Brother, isn't it too reckless for us to come directly to find Chen Yan's trouble?"
Zhao Linshu, who followed because he was worried, saw this, stepped forward to pull the sleeves of the two, and reminded.
He paused and pointed to the gate revealing a chill in front, carefully, "This place is the Mingjing Si..."
It wasn't that he, Zhao Linshu, was cowardly and lacked courage, but that the place they were in at this moment was the most notorious place in Chang'an...
It was the Mingjing Si where many people went in whole and came out broken and in pieces.
Moreover, the timing Chen Yan chose was excellent; their father and grandfather were both not in the capital because they were repairing the ancestral graves; if something happened...
"Reckless my egg!"
"So what if it's the Mingjing Si?"
Zhao Tishou shook off Zhao Linshu's hand, arrogant, and shouted, "What is our status, what is our family background, who dares to move us?"
Other clans fear the Mingjing Si, but does the Duke of Chu Mansion with Old Master Zhao sitting in town need to fear?
Zhao Tishou came here this time, one is to find the field back from Chen Yan, and the other is to prove it to the family...
Let his father and grandfather see the ability of their two direct grandsons.
"Even if the Mingjing Si Supervisor came, he would have to be polite..." Zhao Qingshi was not so excited, but also nodded, agreeing.
Zhao Linshu still wanted to persuade something, just as he was about to try to say something, the gate of the Mingjing Si opened, and then Chen Yan's voice came: "Cijiu, you are here too!"
"Sure enough, it's my good brother!"
At the first sight of Chen Cijiu in the crowd, Chen Yan knew clearly in his heart that this Zhao direct grandson coming to the door definitely couldn't be without his instigation.
Not to mention fighting tigers with brothers;
Seeing his brother raiding the house wasn't enough, he came to send a big gift again!
"Chen Yan, what are you doing?"
Chen Cijiu saw Chen Yan rushing up, having the tendency to hug him, shivered, retreated reflexively, and asked.
No matter how Chen Cijiu looked at the person in front of him, he seemed to have lost his mind, too contrary to the norm.
Why was he suddenly so intimate?
Wouldn't he be digging some pit again?
"Nothing, Second Brother, Big Brother loves you to death!"
Chen Yan blinked, expressing "love" to Chen Cijiu, who was carefully guarding.
He paused, turned his head to look at the two stunned people beside him, and asked: "You are the Zhao clan children who came to the door to demand an explanation from my Mingjing Si, right?"
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising, and he couldn't even press them down.
Relying on the memory in his brain, Chen Yan recognized these two at a glance.
As the Eight Pillar Noble Families, the two families had close contacts, and they had been in contact in the past.
"Chen Yan, what are you pretending for?"
Zhao Tishou saw this, sneered, and snorted, "It's been so long, don't you recognize me?"
Zhao Tishou was even more disgusted with that pretentious behavior.
It was as if he had amnesia.
"I used to think you were cowardly, useless, and timid, a piece of mud that couldn't be supported on the wall..."
Zhao Qingshi looked up and down at Chen Yan, who was dressed as a Mirror Keeper, smiled contemptuously, and mocked, "Didn't expect that now you don't even want your face, and are willing to be a running dog!"
Between the lines, it was all looking down.
"Recognize, recognize!"
"Just confirming again..."
Chen Yan didn't care and smiled extremely brilliantly.
"Heh!"
Zhao Tishou thought Chen Yan's appearance was sycophancy, his sense of superiority rose, he snorted, raised his head, and ordered arrogantly, "Immediately lift the ban on Wangchuan, and kneel to apologize; this young master might still be able to plead for you to Grandfather..."
"Slap!"
But before Zhao Tishou finished speaking, what responded to him was a crisp slap sound. ===== CHAPTER 120 =====
