Chapter 844: Who is the real oriole

Everything was silent.

Chen Guanlou descended from the tree crown to the ground and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The plague gods were finally all gone.

The first level of returning to the capital was considered passed smoothly.

He certainly wouldn't luckily think that the world would be peaceful from now on.

In the coming days, he needed to be careful and more careful.

That night he entered the city and stayed in a three-entry mansion. Early the next morning, the steward personally brought people to clean up the house located in the back alley of the Hou Fu.

"Master, why not arrange two maids to serve in the back alley house?"

"No need! Every three days, you bring people to do cleaning in the back alley, wash what needs to be washed, change what needs to be changed, that's enough."

The three-entry mansion arranged by the Hou Fu, and the steward, servants, and maids in the mansion, were all well-trained. Only one thing was not good, the maids all wanted to pounce on him, although they were very subtle, their actions were not lacking. The steward appeared in front of him every day, asking for instructions left and right, showing his presence.

Therefore, he still liked living in the small back house, getting along with familiar neighbors. Although the place was small, it was comfortable to live alone.

The news of his return was passed out through the steward's mouth. The head steward's side sent an invitation that day, asking him to go to the mansion for a drink in the evening.

He agreed happily.

Thinking that he stayed in the main tomb chamber for two months without eating or drinking, his stomach felt hungry. He had to eat back the two months he lost.

The head steward's invitation must be attended.

Even if he didn't give the head steward face, he had to go for the skills of the Hou Fu's chef.

When the time came, he arrived on time.

Not seen for two months, the head steward was a bit fatter.

"How have you been these days."

"Thanks to your blessing, very good. You kid, ran out without a sound, ran for two months, and didn't say hello to the family. The Heir heard the news of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's large-scale movement and was shocked. I heard you caused a big movement in the south."

Chen Guanlou was slightly surprised. "Where did you hear that? I just went out for a trip, didn't say where I was going."

"You still want to hide it from the old man, humph!" The head steward looked slightly disdainful. "The old man heard it long ago. The south dug up an ancient tomb of the previous dynasty, involving immortal methods, is it or not?"

"Where did you hear it, the news is quite well-informed."

"Don't worry about where the old man heard it. The old man only tells you, those who should know all know. I heard hundreds or thousands of people died, really?"

"Indeed many people died."

Chen Guanlou appeared very calm.

At this time, continuing to pretend to be stupid made no sense. They knew it in their hearts, say what should be said, and don't reveal a single word that shouldn't be revealed.

"You went down to the underground palace?" The head steward was very curious.

Chen Guanlou nodded, not denying it. "Went down to the underground palace, it was truly strange inside, almost folded inside. The reason I came back so late was because I was injured in the underground palace and had been hiding in the mountains to heal. What happened in the underground palace, I know nothing about. Head steward, you are well-informed, tell me."

"You are the person involved, you don't know, yet you let the old man say." The head steward snorted. "You went to the south, why didn't you say hello to the Hou Fu. With the Hou Fu's help, this trip might have had gains."

"Pull it down! Let the Hou Fu send people to follow me, I guess they would all be cannon fodder, all became sacrifices. You ask around, those who went south this time, except for high-level martial artists, did the rest all die?"

Chen Guanlou looked very disdainful.

Still let the Hou Fu send people to follow, is it because not enough people died.

The head steward didn't argue with him, asking curiously: "No gains?"

"No! Except for gaining some knowledge, having some experience, there were no gains. No encounters, no opportunities, and no treasures."

No matter who asked, Chen Guanlou bit to death that there was no opportunity, no encounter, no treasure. Three nos, a wasted trip.

The head steward was half-believing.

Chen Guanlou said directly, "You don't need to test me, I came back and continued to serve in the Heavenly Prison, then you will know that what I said is the truth, really no gains. Not only no gains, but almost capsized in the gutter, becoming a burial object."

"Really so dangerous?"

"Ten times more dangerous than a traditional ancient tomb. Various illusions, so real you can't tell true from false. If it weren't for my limited greed, I wouldn't have been able to come out. The most miserable thing was passing through the bug sea. Can you imagine the terrifying scene of bugs crawling all over your body, bugs drilling into your internal organs to eat your flesh and blood?"

As soon as this was said, the head steward's face instantly stiffened, very embarrassed.

After a while, he took a sip of wine and said, "Many people went south this time. As far as the old man knows, many noble families also secretly sent people, but none could return. Some people said that the danger of the killing that night dyed the sky red, and hundreds or thousands of people died. Many Grandmasters went. I heard some Grandmasters fell."

"Grandmasters fell?"

Chen Guanlou was full of astonishment, how did he not know that Grandmasters fell.

"Where did you hear it from? I didn't know a bit of news."

"It's normal you don't know. It was passed out from the inside." The head steward also lowered his voice subconsciously. "It is said that the underground palace is strange, and everyone's encounters are different. Some Grandmasters suffered inhuman attacks in the underground palace, being besieged."

Chen Guanlou shook his head repeatedly, he really didn't know.

The images he saw in the main tomb chamber flashed by quickly, and many times the images disappeared in the blink of an eye. He couldn't distinguish who was who. The key was that he didn't mix in the Jianghu, and he didn't know most of the people in the Jianghu.

He also didn't mix in noble families.

Those noble family ancestors, he hadn't seen a single one.

The only ancestor Wu Xun, he stayed in Pingjing Town for so many days, and didn't see anyone.

It was very likely that Zhang Daohe set up the Wu family.

Now Zhang Daohe is hiding, if the other party doesn't show up actively, he suspects no one in the world can find the traces of the one surnamed Zhang.

The one surnamed Zhang is only one step away from the real Grandmaster realm. Experiencing the two-month encounter and opportunity in the main tomb chamber, one step away is a matter of course, and sooner or later he will be a Grandmaster.

Even him, after smoothly breaking through the fifth chapter of the "Ascension Record", clearly made up for the problem of insufficient foundation before. He had a premonition that within a few years, he would also be able to break through to the Grandmaster realm as a matter of course.

"Being besieged, this matter definitely doesn't have my share. I am a good citizen! Never take the initiative to provoke trouble!" Chen Guanlou teased.

The head steward clicked his tongue in wonder. "Saying it's looking for opportunities, in the old man's view, it's clearly taking the opportunity to avenge grudges, to avenge grievances. Gathering the martial artists who can be counted in the Jianghu together, taking the opportunity to catch them all in one net. This time the Embroidered Uniform Guard made a great contribution, the Emperor rewarded the one surnamed Xiao with a mansion, and also rewarded him with a python robe to wear."

"Over-specification, right." Chen Guanlou asked curiously.

"Definitely over-specification. But the Emperor insisted on it, and no one could stop it. There is no rule or regulation at all. Now I understand, the Embroidered Uniform Guard took the opportunity of the ancient tomb in the south to catch all the martial artists who don't follow the rules in the Jianghu, and took the opportunity to kill certain noble family disciples. Taking the opportunity to cut off the noble family's strength for the imperial court and the Emperor." ===== CHAPTER 845 =====
