Chapter 845: Being followed

Chen Guanlou finally understood.

Xiao Jincheng taking the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the palace eunuch martial artists south was not aimed at the treasures in the underground palace at all. Perhaps the treasures were just incidental.

The fundamental purpose was to remove the heart-trouble for the imperial court, cut off the wings of noble family sects, use the White Lotus Sect's hand to create an unprecedented slaughter, and also perfectly pin the crime on the cult bandit leader, perfectly escaping.

This move of the snipe and clam fighting, the fisherman reaping the profit, was really played well!

In one sentence, the Embroidered Uniform Guard going south was just to kill people.

The so-called underground palace besieging Grandmasters, Grandmasters falling, presumably was also the work of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and eunuch martial artists. Wei Wubing and the others were used to suppress the scene.

It seemed Zhang Daohe calculated all the high-level martial artists in the Jianghu.

Little did he know, the real oriole was actually the Embroidered Uniform Guard, actually the Emperor in the palace.

The methods were ruthless enough.

He sighed. "Fortunately, I didn't tell the Hou Fu at the beginning. If the Hou Fu sent people to follow me south, I guess every family would have to hold a funeral."

"Crow mouth." The head steward was very disgusted. "I heard, the second son of the Jin King's mansion also went?"

"People are dead! Used as a blood bank, blood drained dry."

Pitiful and sighable!

A dignified imperial descendant, falling to this point. After death, there was no one to collect the corpse, exposed in the wilderness. I don't know if Zhang Daohe arranged for someone to bury those skeletons.

"Quite pitiful. However, falling to this end is a matter of time. Since the Jin King passed away, the Jin King's mansion exists in name only. It depends on whether the Emperor is willing to show mercy."

"What is the situation of the female relatives in the King's mansion now?" Chen Guanlou asked gossipingly.

"Live if you can, die if you can't."

"Is the niece of the second wife's maiden family alive or dead?"

"Still alive. If it were an ordinary family, there would still be a chance to return to the maiden family. As a female relative of the King's mansion, registered in the roster, not one can escape."

Chen Guanlou sighed.

At the beginning, that woman didn't hesitate to use tricks, even if she had to cook raw rice into cooked rice, she had to enter the King's mansion. She got her wish! It's only been a few years, and she fell to this point.

Life, it really is unpredictable, rising and falling.

He asked again: "I return to the Heavenly Prison to serve now, no problem, right."

The head steward nodded. "No problem. With the Hou Fu guaranteeing, at least on the surface, no one will actively find trouble with you. If you encounter troublesome people or things in private, solve them yourself. If you can't solve them, tell the old man, and the old man will come forward for you."

"Why don't you help me promote it, tell the world I returned from the underground palace in the south, gained nothing, and brought back a body of injuries."

He wanted to solve it once and for all, dispelling the thoughts of some people testing him.

The head steward pondered. "The effect definitely won't be too good, but it can be tried. You also know, martial artists are usually very paranoid, hard to listen to others' advice, only recognizing what they have identified. If they identify that you obtained the opportunity and had an encounter, nothing will work. Can only see the truth in the hands."

"I know. Solve one by one. Blame it on me for healing too long, forgetting the days, and not being able to rush back in time. I came back too late, so others thought I gained huge benefits. Heaven can see, I almost died in the underground palace, didn't get a cent of benefit, lost a lot!"

He deliberately spoke loudly, and specifically pointed to the roof.

The head steward knew it in his heart, there was someone eavesdropping on the roof.

People who could eavesdrop so blatantly in the capital territory, except for the Embroidered Uniform Guard, no one else would do it. Ordinary martial artists wouldn't dare to step into the Hou Fu easily. The Hou Fu was not as simple as it looked on the surface.

"Didn't get the opportunity, don't be too disappointed. At least life is saved." The head steward continued along his words. "In the future, serve well. If there is a similar situation, say hello to the Hou Fu, the Hou Fu will send people to follow, it's easier to do things with more people."

"Well said. In the future, I will listen to you old man. Come, I toast you!"

Immediately after, he pulled the topic away and chatted about family affairs.

Drank until the middle of the night, and this banquet was considered over.

Blowing the cold wind, with a body of alcohol, Chen Guanlou walked in the small alley. The night watchman passing by saw him and called out Uncle Lou.

Chen Guanlou nodded slightly. "Why are you on night watch?"

"There is money to earn."

"You are poor. Ask the head steward to help you arrange a proper job."

"The kid doesn't have the face to let the head steward help arrange a job. Uncle Lou, why don't you do a favor and arrange a job for me in the Heavenly Prison. I don't have any other requirements, just need to be like Uncle Lou, serve when you want to serve, go home when you don't want to serve, and have money every month."

"Roll!"

Chen Guanlou kicked the stinky kid away, thinking really beautifully.

Being a jailer and not wanting to suffer, dreaming!

He also climbed up step by step from a small jailer. Even if he relied on the Hou Fu, the premise was that he had the ability himself, could support the scene, and could handle things.

If he was lazy and didn't do anything, the Hou Fu wouldn't treat him well either.

Swaying to his home, he yawned, and shouted at the air: "Brother, followed me all the way, tired? Want to come down and drink a cup of hot tea, just right for me to sober up."

The dark night was silent, with no movement.

He didn't care, washed up with half a basin of hot water, brewed a pot of tea, prepared two teacups, and sat in the courtyard waiting.

"Freezing cold, brother not tired? This world is really big. In the south, it's green trees and shade, not feeling too cold, ordinary people wearing a lined jacket is enough. The capital is already raging with cold wind. Brother, come down and drink a mouthful of hot tea to warm your body. If your Master Xiao asks for guilt, tell him to come find me, I'll stand up for you."

The surroundings were still silent.

Suddenly, a figure landed in the Chen family's small courtyard.

Chen Guanlou turned his back to the other party, without any precautions. "Since you're here, why not sit down and talk."

"I am Ninth Rank!" The man in black opened his mouth, the first sentence revealing his own cultivation.

Chen Guanlou still didn't look back, without precautions, unhurriedly brewing tea. "Know you are Ninth Rank, no need to emphasize specifically."

"You aren't afraid I'll kill you? Being Ninth Rank, killing you, although I dare not say it's easy, but if I can seize the opportunity, there is still a possibility of killing with one blow."

"You can try, see if you can kill with one blow. You and I both know, you didn't have the opportunity to kill with one blow from the beginning. If we fight, I definitely won't lose, and you naturally won't win. Since it's hard to get what you want, why not sit down and talk calmly. I have always advocated that everything can be discussed. If you can speak, don't move your hands. Moving your hands at every disagreement, solving things by force, that is the behavior of a reckless man. I am definitely not a reckless man, brother, how about you?"

Chen Guanlou smiled, in a very good mood!

At this moment, there was no sign of drunkenness, clear-headed to the extreme. The tea wasn't drunk, the wine had sobered!

He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, inviting the other party to sit down.

The other party hesitated for a moment, then walked forward slowly.

The two passed each other. The man in black clearly felt that Chen Guanlou was completely relaxed, really without any precautions.

Sure enough, he had courage! ===== CHAPTER 846 =====
