Chapter 938: Bluffing Him

Early the next morning, Chen Guanlou avoided everyone and arrived at the commander's tent quietly.

Marquis Pingjiang had been waiting for a long time, with a table full of breakfast, all kinds of flavors.

"People who practice martial arts have big appetites. This Marquis specially ordered the cook to prepare a few more, see if there is anything you like to eat. In this Marquis's place, don't be restrained, everything is at will."

Chen Guanlou didn't be polite either, picked up a meat bun and ate it first.

"What does the eldest master have to order? If there is nothing, I am ready to return to the capital today."

"Not used to the climate of the Northwest?"

"Indeed not used to it. Although the climate of the capital is not good, the capital is the capital after all. I love excitement and enjoyment, and I can't eat bitterness."

"Haha... you keep saying you can't eat bitterness, but in just a few years, you have achieved the Ninth Rank cultivation. Even if your talent is extremely high, or you have adventures, you can't do without hard practice."

"Eldest master doesn't need to praise me, I know my own problems clearly, and I never avoid them. Now I can calmly accept my own defects and calmly face other people's criticism and nagging."

At most, it goes in the left ear and out the right ear, never taking it to heart.

Chen Guanlou is very open-minded.

It is precisely because he is open-minded and his mind is transparent that his practice has been smooth, and he has not encountered any major setbacks. No demons, no going into trouble, none at all.

In his view, many martial artists are stuck in bottlenecks and cannot break through because they think too much, so that their minds are blocked by various thoughts, unable to be transparent, and naturally unable to make progress.

Living in the world, eating and drinking, thinking too much is not good for health and longevity.

"Your temperament is also quite good!"

The eldest master praised him casually, expressing agreement. He continued: "Letting you take on heavy responsibilities, I guess you won't be happy either. Forget it, you go back and tell Chen Guanfu to act steadily, don't be impulsive. If something really happens to the old lady, do whatever you should do, do everything according to the rules, and there will be no mistakes."

"Just these?" Chen Guanlou was very surprised. "Eldest master, what about you?"

"This Marquis doesn't need you to worry here, just don't add chaos."

It seems that the eldest master has been prepared for a long time.

Chen Guanlou didn't say much, took the sealed wooden box, got up and left, and set off to return to the capital.

On the way, he went to Zhen'an Temple outside Jinzhou City to see the wild monk Liu Daowen.

This guy Liu Daowen is getting more and more round, and he seems to be addicted to being a monk, looking like he is happy and doesn't want to return.

When he saw Chen Guanlou, he was indeed very astonished and surprised!

Without a second word, he decisively found a quiet side room to talk.

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, all is well!"

"I'm still the same. But you, the Prince of Cheng is gone, you still continue to be a monk? Didn't you plan to reunite with your family?"

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is joking. With this face of mine, where do I dare to recognize my family, it's good to be able to protect myself. Besides, I'm used to my current life, being a monk is quite good. The host is not strict, and I have a certain amount of freedom."

After speaking, Liu Daowen grinned, and he felt a bit embarrassed himself.

Originally a big corrupt official, a lackey under Jiang Tu, faked his death to escape, and now he is a monk, it seems he has found the fun of life.

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly. "Do you really plan to stay here for a lifetime?"

"Quite good, quite good." Liu Daowen had a shy smile.

"The Prince of Cheng and his son are both dead, you know."

"I heard! Alas! The business of rebellion cannot be done, the head is tied to the waistband of the pants. I can't do anything, I can only recite the rebirth scripture for the Prince of Cheng and his son, and perform a ritual for them, so that they can be safe and smooth in the next life, and live to ninety-nine."

"You have a heart! There is one thing, I still need to ask you."

"What to ask, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, if you have anything, just ask, I guarantee to know everything and say everything."

Chen Guanlou smiled. "The Prince of Cheng's heir was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison before he died, I chatted with him a few times, and heard a thing. He said that the Prince of Cheng had a personal guard, and after the Prince of Cheng passed away, this personal guard disappeared. He was very sure to tell me that the loyalty of this personal guard is unquestionable, and only loyal to the Prince of Cheng. He suspected that the Prince of Cheng made arrangements before he died and hid this personal guard."

"Is there such a thing?" Liu Daowen looked astonished. "I have been in the temple all year round and have little contact with the Prince of Cheng's side. I really don't know about this!"

"Do you really not know? The personal guard wasn't hidden by you?"

Chen Guanlou bluffed casually!

"Injustice!" Liu Daowen immediately shouted injustice, shouting sincerely. That aggrieved look, he couldn't act it out even if he wanted to. "Why would Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen suspect me? I, I, I... what virtue and ability do I have to get the Prince of Cheng's entrustment before he died? If I had this ability, this trust, I wouldn't have been hiding in the temple carefully for so many years. Lord, don't make jokes, this will kill people."

"Precisely because you have always been away from the Prince of Cheng's mansion, and many people don't even know you exist, it is more in line with the identity of entrustment."

"How does this start? I am an outsider, and there was only a money transaction between me and the Prince of Cheng. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, why are you so sure that the Prince of Cheng would value me and give me the personal guard? The Prince of Cheng has so many people under his hands..."

"So many people, one by one, were all arrested, or surrendered to the government soldiers, and now work under Marquis Pingjiang. As a bargaining chip for surrender to survive, ask, how can this disappeared personal guard not be handed over. Thinking about it, tracing back according to the list, it seems that only you are wandering outside, with a special identity, suitable for hiding!"

Chen Guanlou opened his brain hole, analyzed it blindly, and it seemed more and more reasonable.

"Absolutely not." Liu Daowen said sonorously, resolutely denying. "I didn't even see the Prince of Cheng's face, I heard the incense burners mention it, and then I knew the news of the Prince of Cheng's passing. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, please, give me a way to live, don't frame me, okay? My small body can't bear it! And I don't have money to let a certain prince save me again."

How pitiful!

Chen Guanlou couldn't help but suspect himself, could it be that he really guessed wrong?

Liu Daowen turned over a new leaf and really became a disciple of Buddha?

"Don't talk nonsense, when did I frame you. It's just a casual mention, why are you panicking, could it be that you have a guilty conscience."

Liu Daowen's cheek muscles twitched a few times, he had never seen such a shameless person, actually hitting back! Obviously the other party framed him first, but said he had a guilty conscience.

Injustice!

Blue sky and old master, come down with a thunderbolt and strike the Chen surname!

"Yes, yes, yes, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, you didn't frame me, I thought too much. You also know my situation, how can I not panic. If my true identity is known, I will lose my head in the blink of an eye. I have a guilty conscience! After all, everything now is a disguise!"

He admitted generously that he had a guilty conscience.

Chen Guanlou felt that he was a bit too much. "You better be really innocent!"

"I guarantee I am innocent." Liu Daowen swore to the sky.

Chen Guanlou snorted twice. "Keep the matter of our meeting secret, goodbye!"

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, walk slowly, come again next time." Liu Daowen sent the person away happily, feeling relieved. ===== CHAPTER 939 =====
