Chapter 114 Husband, are you hiding something from me?

“It smells like orange.”

Uncle Fu replied. After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Fu."

Uncle Fu nodded and said, "Well, I'll go back first."

Uncle Fu pulled the reins and the carriage sped forward. Chen Jie turned and came to the door, but saw that it was bolted. He couldn't bear to wake up his wife in the middle of the night.

He climbed directly onto the wall.

"Who is it, my husband?"

Before Chen Jie jumped down, he saw a woman sitting in the courtyard. The woman looked up at Chen Jie who had climbed over the wall and asked vigilantly.

"Miss?"

Chen Jie was surprised and asked, "You didn't sleep?"

Hearing this, Su Yunjin stood up and said, "No, I can't sleep."

In fact, she was not unable to sleep, she was just afraid that if she fell asleep, she would not hear her husband knocking on the door.

Chen Jie landed, held Su Yunjin's cold little hand and said, "It's so cold at night. You're just waiting like this. You might catch a cold!"

"It's okay. It's summer now. It's not that cold anymore."

"My husband, you are back from drinking. Why are you here so early?"

Chen Jie said, "Ah, yes. Not long after eating, I went to the White Tiger Hall and met with my adoptive father. Isn't it going to be a party tomorrow? We discussed the specific matters."

"Oh."

Su Yunjin nodded, and Chen Jie handed the clothes that Peng Shizhong had prepared for him to Su Yunjin and said, "I'll wear this tomorrow."

"Yes, husband, I understand. By the way, Xiaohu sent someone back with a message today, saying that he will stay in the White Tiger Hall for training in the next few days and will not be back. Does husband know about this?"

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Oh, I know. This is a good thing. The one who trained him is Uncle Fu, my adoptive father's personal bodyguard. He is a real capable person. Xiaohu can learn real skills by following him."

"Oh, that's a really good thing."

Su Yunjin said as the two of them walked into the house.

"Is Ruirui asleep?"

Chen Jie asked, Su Yunjin said: "Well, I slept for a while. Hey, husband, what are you holding in your hand? Is it an orange? It smells so good."

"Oh, yes, oranges. I went out after drinking today and saw someone selling oranges, so I bought some."

Su Yunjin took it, looked at it and said, "This orange is still green and looks very sour."

Chen Jie said: "I only realized it after I bought it. It is indeed very sour."

After hearing this, Su Yunjin said, "Let me try it."

Chen Jie said: "You can try it, but it's really sour, don't let it sour you."

Su Yunjin didn't believe it, so he peeled one open and took a bite: "Hiss~ So sour, how can anyone still sell this kind of orange? It's so sour that it can kill you."

"Maybe they sell it to those who are not afraid of acid."

Chen Jie smiled and followed the two into the room.

"Husband, take a bath first. I've already heated up the hot water for you. There will be such a big event tomorrow, so you should wash up properly."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, madam."

Su Yunjin had already prepared the wooden tub for bathing. He added water to it, tested the water temperature, and found it was just right, so he asked Chen Jie to take a bath.

Chen was completely free and sat in the bathtub. Even though Su Yunjin and he were an old married couple, her face was still red.

Chen Jie felt very comfortable soaking in the bathtub. Su Yunjin was busy at this time, arranging neatly the new clothes that Chen Jie was going to wear tomorrow. There must not be a single wrinkle. Tomorrow was such an important occasion, and she couldn't let her husband lose face.

Then he picked up all the old clothes that Chen Jie had thrown on the ground and prepared to put them in the dirty clothes basket to be washed tomorrow.

But just as she was holding the old clothes, her expression suddenly froze, and she reached out and pinched a long hair that did not belong to her on the clothes.

Her other hand involuntarily pinched the corner of her clothes.

She felt a little depressed for some reason, but after a moment her attention was drawn to a very tiny scratch on her clothes.

The scratch was obviously caused by a sharp weapon and it was very new. Su Yunjin was sure that there was definitely no such scratch when he left this morning.

Was it caused today?

And this position is very close to the neck. Thinking of this, her face turned pale and she had a terrible idea.

At this time, she spread out her clothes again, and then she saw the two pockets that Chen Jie carried with him. One pocket was filled with lime powder. She knew that the other pocket was usually empty, but today it was bulging.

When I opened it, it turned out to be a stack of rolled-up silver bills.

"what!"

Su Yunjin covered her mouth. She was shocked by so much money.

Chen Jie heard the noise and asked, "What's wrong, madam?"

Su Yunjin quickly put the banknote away and said, "It's okay."

Chen Jie turned his head and glanced at Su Yunjin and said, "Oh, did you see the banknote? It was given by my adoptive father."

Su Yunjin came over and said, "Oh, husband, let me massage your back."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jie felt a soft little hand gently pinching his broad back, and he felt very comfortable.

But Su Yunjin was looking at Chen Jie's hair. She had a strong observation ability and soon found a few broken hairs among Chen Jie's thick hair. Her heart sank.

By considering the locations of the knife cuts on the clothes, she came to a conclusion.

My husband is in danger!
As for the woman's hair, she no longer cared about it. Compared to the possibility that her husband might have a woman outside, she was more worried about her husband's safety.

Perhaps, from the perspective of modern women, finding a strange woman's hair on a man should cause a huge uproar, but Su Yunjin felt that if there really was such a woman, and her husband did not stay there, but chose to come back to accompany her, this meant that her position in his heart was far higher than other women.

At this moment, she even understood the function of the sour orange.

But her husband was willing to act and lie to her because he was afraid that she would be sad. Doesn't this also mean that she has a place in his heart?
If he really didn't care about himself at all, he wouldn't even try to hide it.

In this era, "Female Virtues" is the code that regulates the behavior of all women, and this society also tells them that if a man is capable and has status, he cannot have only one woman.

Of course she couldn't care less about that now.

What she was more concerned about now was whether her husband had been attacked.

She didn't care where her husband went or what kind of social events he attended, but she couldn't help it when her husband was injured.

"Husband."

"Ok?"

Chen Jie was closing his eyes, comfortably enjoying his wife's massage.

"Do you have something to tell me?"

Chen Jie's eyes suddenly opened. Was he exposed?

"Um, what's going on?"

Chen Jie asked tentatively.

He was not afraid of his wife, he was just afraid of hurting her feelings.

This silly wife of mine, when encountering problems, just knows how to endure and not say anything. Chen Jie knows that even if he is having a life of debauchery outside, she will not blame him if she finds out.

I can only hide in a corner and cry silently.

This silly woman!

Chen Jie really couldn't bear to hurt her!

That's why he bought oranges as a cover-up. He knew that he was not someone who could withstand temptation, but he didn't want to be a heartless person. This woman had suffered too much for him.

It would be good if I could make her happier.

Chen Jie asked what was going on.

He immediately added:
"That Rouge..."

"Husband, are you in danger?"

Chen Jie and Su Yunjin spoke almost at the same time, and then both of them froze in place.

After a moment, Chen Jie asked, "Is this what you want to ask?"

Su Yunjin looked at the hair she had thrown on the ground and pretended not to know: "Who else could it be? Husband, your hair and the cut on your clothes, are you okay?"

Chen Jie breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hey, it's okay. I didn't want to tell you and make you worry."

"Husband, I'll be more worried if you don't tell me."

The lady said, Chen Jie said: "Then let me tell you, today I came from the restaurant..."

Chen Jie told the whole story, except that he replaced Yihonglou with a restaurant, and how the butler Yu Biao hired assassins to attack him, but was killed instead. Then he made a fortune and received 1,500 taels of silver.

By the way, there is also a very interesting secret book.

After hearing about the thrilling assassination today, Su Yunjin was worried the whole time. When she heard about the sudden sword hidden in the dark alley, she was shocked and felt the same way!
Chen Jie felt Su Yunjin's nervousness, held her hand and said, "It's okay, it's actually quite good. For one assassination, I received 1,500 taels. If we assassinate a few more times, we will be rich."

Snapped!
"What nonsense are you talking about?"

At this time, Su Yunjin reached out and patted Chen Jie's arm. It was soft, but quite loud.

The next moment, she immediately said nervously: "Ah, it didn't hurt!"

Chen Jie wanted to laugh when he saw this. He was a powerful Liujin realm warrior, and his wife had never practiced martial arts. How could she hurt him?

Yu Biao, the housekeeper, and the killer should all kill themselves with a piece of tofu!

However, at this time, Chen Jie pretended to be in pain, and then covered his arm and said: "Ouch, it hurts..."

Su Yunjin said, "Why does it hurt? I didn't use any force. Is this the injury from the assassination attempt today?"

"Ah."

"Let me see."

Su Yunjin looked at her nervously, but at this moment, Chen Jie suddenly kissed her on the forehead.

"Stop it, husband. I hope your bones are not broken. Do you want to see a doctor?"

Chen Jie smiled and said, "Why look for a doctor? You are the best doctor for your husband!"

"Ah~"

"I don't want my husband, it's all water..."

……

We went to Wushan together, and the spring breeze passed through Yumen Pass several times.

Charming and deep in love, sighing at the infatuated men and women, the plum blossoms play three times until the hair turns white with frost.

……

At midnight, Chen Jie slowly woke up and looked at the woman nestled in his arms.

He gently gathered his hair, wondering if it was his illusion, but his wife was being particularly proactive today.

It was as if he was fighting against an imaginary enemy.

But it was a good deal for him.

Thinking about it, Chen Jie opened the intelligence panel.

I went to bed late tonight and Chen Jie also woke up late. Chen Jie almost has to ensure two and a half to three hours of sleep every night.

Therefore, I went to bed late today and naturally woke up late.

Open the Intelligence panel.

[Today's intelligence has been updated (level 2)]

[1. Today you go to Yihong Courtyard and get information that Yihong Courtyard adopts the courtesan banquet system. Every day, there is a courtesan as the guest of honor for the banquet, and the banquet will have a theme, such as poetry, couplet games, music exploration, chess, calligraphy and painting. It is very elegant, so many big figures in Mianshui County will patronize it.]

[2. Today you encountered an assassination attempt on the black market. You got information that the black market is the underground power in Mianshui County. They do some gray business, reselling some rare herbs, antique jades, weapon secrets, or offering rewards for killing people. It is an industry that makes a lot of money every day.]

[3. Today you reported the assassination to Peng Shizhong, and got the information. Peng Shizhong visited the black market at night and reached an agreement with the oil seller, one of the thirteen big bosses of the black market, to cancel your bounty list. However, you killed the assassin of the black market, and the oil seller became very interested in you.]

[4. Today you killed Yu Biao's housekeeper and got information. The housekeeper's martial arts skills are the martial arts that are popular among Emei people. Women can achieve twice the result with half the effort by practicing them.]

[5. Because you have thought about the interpersonal relationships of the White Tiger Hall many times today, you have obtained information that the White Tiger Hall is currently divided into four major halls, among which Feng Xuan and Lu Rong are in one group, Zheng Chuan is in another group, and the white-clothed scholar Deng Guangming remains neutral. Currently, the two sides are fighting openly and secretly. Peng Shizhong has the idea of ​​balancing the contradictions between the two sides by taking in another adopted son! ]

Chen Jie was lying on the bed, checking the intelligence and found that there was nothing important in today's intelligence.

What needs attention is the third one, the master behind the black market, the oil seller, one of the Thirteen Guardians.

The Thirteen Protectors, Chen Jie has become well-known recently. Most of the top masters in Mianshui County are among the Thirteen Protectors.

For example, his adoptive father, Peng Shizhong, was a fisherman and one of the Thirteen Guardians.

Of course, the ranking of the Thirteen Protectors, except for the first and second, the rest of the rankings do not represent the strength, but are more of a list.

But the first and second place ones are really capable. They are the two underground kings of Mianshui County, the leaders of the Fishing Gang and the Cao Gang.

The leader of the Fishing Gang is Nan Batian, and the leader of the Cao Gang is Liu Laoguai.

These two are the strongest masters in Mianshui County. Their strength surpasses that of the other eleven guards.

This oil seller is the more mysterious one among the Thirteen Protectors.

The other more mysterious one is the pretty beauty in Yihong Tower.

These two have never revealed their true faces. As for the others, they are all well-known figures in Mianshui County and are considered big bosses. They are not as secretive as these two.

For example, the fisherman Peng Shizhong and the ghost hand Gu Qingfeng are all well-known to everyone.

However, this oil seller and his pretty beauty rarely appear in public, and few people know their true identities.

And now he was being targeted by the oil seller. Chen Jie felt like he had a thorn in his side. No, he had to find a chance to find out the identity of the oil seller, otherwise he would be unable to sleep or eat.

However, Chen Jie did not think that the oil seller would attack him directly. After all, he had already made a private settlement with his adoptive father and even reached an agreement. So as a big shot in Mianshui County, he would not be so shameless as to bully a junior like him.

Chen Jie thought about it and felt a little relieved. He secretly thought that he was smart. If he had not reported this matter to Peng Shizhong, he might have to face the oil seller alone.

That would be a dire situation, but now that the big boss has intervened, even if the other party is dissatisfied with the killer who killed them, they have to endure it. That's the rule.

So, the recognition of my adoptive father was not in vain.

Then came the first piece of information, which introduced the gameplay of Yihonglou. Well, to sum it up in one word: elegant. It’s damn elegant.

This is what an expert once said: if you make a dirty business elegant, you can make more money.

The second piece of information introduced the industrial chain of the black market. It can be seen that it mainly operates in two aspects: smuggling and hiring killers. If more is said, there may also be selling stolen goods.

The fourth piece of information introduced that the secret book "Little Thoughts" that he obtained was actually passed down from Emei.

Chen Jie knew something about the Emei Sect. It was rumored to be one of the six major sects in the martial arts world.

These six major sects are all first-rate martial arts sects recognized by the imperial court, and are also known as the righteous martial arts sects.

And Emei is one of them.

Moreover, Chen Jie also knew that the Emei Sect was a sect that only accepted women, most of whom were Taoist nuns.

There are even rumors that the founder of the sect was the daughter of the hero Guo who defended Xiangyang City alone back then.

If this book "Little Thoughts" has this origin, then it should be a pretty good martial art.

Chen Jie stood up and found that his wife was really tired today and did not wake up.

So he got up, walked to the table and lit the oil lamp.

After finding the book "Little Thoughts", Chen Jie initially thought that the power-generating techniques in this martial arts book were very interesting.

But I didn't expect it to come from Emei. Not only the techniques are interesting, Chen Jie suspects that the origin of the secret book itself is even more interesting.

Where did the butler get this secret manual of Emei women?

Chen Jie opened the secret book and found that the idea was really simple, with a total of thirteen pages.

Except for the first page which is a horse stance, the rest are all boxing techniques.

On the first page, there is only one very special horse stance [Two-character clamp sheep horse]

This horse stance is different from the vigorous and open posture that Chen Jie practiced in martial arts. It is very reserved, with the feet shoulder-width apart.

Stand with your feet together, feet apart, legs slightly bent, knees inward, one fist apart.

It can be seen that it is very suitable for women to stand conservatively.

Looking at this standing posture, Chen Jie felt it looked more and more familiar. Why did it look so much like Wing Chun?

There are twelve moves in "Little Thoughts", namely [Cross Hand], [Three-fold Hand]...

Chen Jie was staring intently, and then he felt someone behind him put a piece of clothing on him.

"Husband, what are you doing?"

Chen Jie said: "Nothing, I got a martial arts secret book and took a look."

After hearing this, Su Yunjin said, "Don't get too tired."

Chen Jie turned around and looked at Su Yunjin and said, "You're still talking about me. I worked so hard just now. How come I woke up after just a short sleep? Did your husband wake you up?"

"No."

The lady shook her head, then looked at the secret book in Chen Jie's hand and said, "Little Thought, what a strange name!"

Chen Jie laughed and said, "Is it strange? What's even stranger is that this technique seems to be more suitable for women to learn."

"Women's studies?"

Su Yunjin's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Can I take a look?"

Chen Jie said: "Of course."

As he said that, Chen Jie handed the secret book to Su Yunjin. Su Yunjin looked at the secret book and couldn't help but move his body [Two-character clamp sheep horse]

Chen Jie saw this and laughed, "No, it's like this."

Chen Jie hugged Su Yunjin from behind and taught her step by step how to stand in the [Two-Character Sheep-Clamping Horse] stance.

After correcting her posture, Su Yunjin stood up, but her body began to shake after just one minute.

Horse stance is a good way to exercise muscles. Su Yunjin is not strong, so she couldn't stand for more than a minute. But just when Chen Jie thought she was going to give up.

But he found that his wife was gritting her teeth and trying hard to hold on. Chen Jie shook his head. It would definitely not work to just stand like this. If he wanted to hold on, he would need some skills or external help.

Chen Jie was just about to ask his wife to take a break, but the next moment he suddenly narrowed his eyes because he noticed that his wife's breathing had changed.

And it is not an active change but a passive change, just like adjusting a breathing method that was very familiar before.

Chen Jie looked at it carefully and suddenly his eyes widened. The secret of nourishing spring!

That's right, Chen Jie discovered that Su Yunjin was using the Yangchun Jue breathing method, which was the Yangchun Jue breathing method he had taught her before.

But when did she become so proficient in her practice? Chen Jie could even feel that her Yangchun Jue had reached the entry level.

You have to know that your secret of nourishing spring is just a mastery.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie stopped trying to stop his wife from doing horse stance.

Then I saw that as the lady's breathing changed, the soreness in her muscles began to subside, the amplitude of the shaking also began to decrease, and slowly returned to normal.

Chen Jie smiled.

It's quite interesting. In fact, he has always been worried about the safety of his family. His wife is too weak. In the future, as he achieves great things, he is likely to be hated by his enemies. If that happens, they will attack his wife. What should he do?

Originally, Chen Jie wanted to train guards. However, no matter how strong the guards were, they were not as strong as himself. It would be great if Su Yunjin had martial arts skills.

You don't have to be very powerful, as long as you can deal with a small jerk, that's a big victory.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie watched Su Yunjin doing horse stance, while he also practiced basic skills in the house.

It was dawn soon, and Su Yunjin had persisted until this time. When she heard a rooster crowing outside, Su Yunjin said, "Husband, I'll go cook for you."

Chen Jie said: "No, let's go out to eat."

Before Su Yunjin could say anything, Chen Jie said, "While you have just finished the horse stance, let me teach you the moves of this little thought."

Chen explained and began to teach Su Yunjin his moves.

At the same time, I thought to myself that I would prepare some skin-strengthening soup for my wife when I have time. Practicing martial arts also requires the coordination of soups and medicines.

This way you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

It was daybreak, Chen Jie was dressed neatly, and today he changed into the clothes given to him by Peng Shizhong.

This is a black martial arts uniform made of silk with white cloud patterns on it, and a white tiger head is sewn on the left chest.

This represents the symbol of the White Tiger Hall, and only those at the White Tiger Hall manager level can wear this kind of silk martial arts uniform.

After getting dressed, Su Yunjin was combing Ruirui's hair. Chen Jie entered the room and saw the little kid eating a green tangerine while combing his hair.

With a smacking sound, a slice of orange went into the little mouth.

Chen Jie's teeth almost fell out after watching this: "Hiss... Ruirui, don't you feel sore?"

After hearing this, Ruirui said, "It's not sour. These oranges are delicious. Brother-in-law, where did you buy them? Buy more next time. Baji, baji~"

Chen Jie smiled and said, "Okay, if there's a chance, brother-in-law, buy more."

After hearing this, Su Yunjin flicked Ruirui's head and said, "You are so greedy. What delicious sour oranges are there next time? Let's go out and eat hot buns with my brother-in-law!"

After hearing this, Ruirui smiled and said, "Great, let's eat hot buns!"

After saying that, she threw another sour orange into her mouth. At this time, Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie and said, "Don't listen to her. This orange is not delicious. Don't buy it in the future."

Chen Jie smiled and said, "Okay, I won't buy it."

The three of them went out. There were quite a few people on the street at that time. The big vegetable market was very busy in the morning. However, when everyone saw Chen Jie's clothes, they subconsciously made way for Chen Jie.

These are the clothes of Baihutang, who dares to mess with them?

People around me looked at me with awe along the way.

"Brother-in-law, they seem to be very afraid of you!"

Ruirui asked, and Chen Jie said, "They are not afraid of me, but they are afraid of my clothes."

"Clothes? What's there to be afraid of about clothes?"

Chen Jie said: "Sometimes, clothes are the most terrifying."

The three of them were walking towards the steamed bun stall not far away, but they came across a tofu shop halfway.

At this moment, the three of them suddenly heard a voice calling: "Madam Su."

Su Yunjin turned around and saw Hua Sanniang waving at them at the door of the tofu shop.

"Madam Su, come here!"

"Do you know?"

Chen Jie asked curiously. After hearing this, Su Yunjin said, "Well, this is the tofu shop owner I was talking about."

"Husband, do you want to go over?"

Chen Jie said: "They have helped you before, go and take a look."

After saying this, Chen Jie and the other two walked over.

Hua Sanniang had a smile on her face. She covered her face with a fan and squinted her eyes as she looked at Chen Jie who was approaching.

Chen Jie was also observing the surroundings. He knew that this tofu shop was definitely not simple.

After observing for the past few days, I found that these guys are all skilled in martial arts.

If you really want to sell tofu, you can't have such a fortune.

Soon the three of them arrived closer. At this time, the entrance of the tofu shop was full of men who had heard the news and came to see the tofu, ahem... to buy tofu.

Hua Sanniang waved her hand and said, "Come, make way for my sister."

After hearing this, two waiters went out, got two benches, and directly separated the crowded men, creating an exclusive passage for Chen Jie and the other man.

When she got closer, Hua Sanniang took out two bowls and said, "Sister Su, I just made some tofu pudding this morning. It's delicious. Come and try it."

After hearing this, Su Yunjin hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

But Hua Sanniang looked at Chen Jie and said, "You are Sister Su's man, right?"

Chen Jie said: "Boss lady, OK."

Hua Sanniang smiled and said, "Why call me boss lady? Let me introduce myself. My name is Hua Sanniang. You can call me Sanniang, or you can call me Sister Hua with your sister."

Hua Sanniang was very outgoing and had a harmless smile on her face.

But for some reason, ever since Chen Jie looked her in the eye, he felt that this was a very dangerous person.

Su Yunjin didn't know this. She took a bite of the tofu pudding and said, "Mm, so tender. The tofu and tofu pudding my sister makes are both amazing."

Hua Sanniang said, "Haha, as long as you like it, come over if you want to drink it in the morning. You don't have to queue up. I'll save a portion for you."

"Thank you, Sister Hua."

Hua Sanniang then laughed and said, "Why are you thanking me? Can't you see that I'm trying to curry favor with you?"

"Flatter me?"

Su Yunjin looked surprised and asked, "What is there about me that is worth fawning over?"

"Haha, sister, how can you be so naive! You will suffer if you do this."

After hearing this, Su Yunjin was bewildered. Hua Sanniang pointed at Chen Jie and said, "Your husband is a member of the White Tiger Hall, and he is also the manager. This street is under the protection of the White Tiger Hall. If I curry favor with you, isn't that the same as currying favor with your husband?"

"It's hard to do business now. If I didn't have a backer, my two ounces of meat would have been eaten up by others long ago."

Hua Sanniang looks weak.

Su Yunjin said, "Sister Hua, you are joking. I see that your business is booming, and these guys are all strong and powerful. I am afraid that no one will come to cause trouble."

Hua Sanniang said: "Sister, you don't understand. To run a business, you need to make arrangements with all the gods. So, hero, please take care of the business in the future!"

Chen Jie laughed when he heard that: "Miss Hua, uh... Sister Hua, you must be joking. I see those brothers are strong and muscular, and they are probably in the physical training stage. With such strength, they are elites even in the White Tiger Hall. With so many people protecting you, you are afraid that it will be difficult to do business."

"Is it difficult to do? Don't we need your help? By the way, you haven't told me your name yet?"

Chen Jie said: "I am Chen Jiusi."

"Oh, you are Chen Jiusi, then I must try to curry your favor."

Chen Jie asked: "You know me?"

"Of course, the news spread all over the city that the White Tiger Hall has adopted two adopted sons today. One is called Chen Jiusi, and the other is called Zhou Chu."

"Sister Hua, this news is quite well-informed."

After hearing this, Hua Sanniang smiled and said, "With so many guests coming and going, it's inevitable that I'll hear a few more words."

"Ah, I was just busy talking. Brother Jiusi, come eat. Try my tofu and brain."

Chen Jie always felt that there was something wrong with these words, but he could do nothing about it.

I just smiled at Hua Sanniang and tasted the tofu pudding, and found it was indeed special.

Chen Jie and Su Yunjin finished their tofu pudding and said goodbye immediately. Hua Sanniang did not try to keep them and just said that they could come and eat tofu when they were free.

Watching Chen Jie's receding figure, a waiter said to Hua Sanniang, "Boss, he is just a person in the Liujin realm. Is it necessary for you to personally contact him?"

Hua Sanniang narrowed her eyes and said, "He came from Xiantao Town."

"Ok?"

Xiantao Town?
The guy asked, “What’s the difference?”

Hua Sanniang said, "That man has been to Xiantao Town, and fought with Peng Shizhong and his men, and killed the one sent by Huangzhou Prefecture, Fan Jiangchun Ding Shun."

and then?
Hua Sanniang continued, "Ding Shun is good at controlling water palms."

"I investigated and found that the move this kid used was very similar to the Water Control Palm. Especially from the injuries of the buyer yesterday, I think he was killed by the Water Control Palm."

"Boss, Peng Shizhong inherited Huang Xin's arsenal. According to the information left by the old boss, there should be half a book of Water Control Palm in it. Do you think this kid learned Water Control Palm from Peng Shizhong?"

Hua Sanniang said: "It's possible."

"Then you?"

Hua Sanniang said: "Of course he could have learned it from that person."

After hearing this, the waiter said with a headache: "Boss, that person...ah..."

After saying that, the waiter didn't say anything more. Ever since his boss met that man, he seemed to have lost his soul.

Since that time, the boss went to assassinate the man personally. No one knew what happened. All we knew was that the boss was extremely ashamed and angry when he came back, but soon became excited again.

He even threatened, "Who says I only know how to make money by killing people? I can also make money by selling tofu. What rights do you have to say that the money I earn is not clean?"

Then, Hua Sanniang, the owner of the Mianshui black market and the most mysterious oil seller among the Thirteen Protectors, opened an unnamed tofu shop here.

Selling tofu every day is also admirable.

This guy just doesn't understand what is so fascinating about that man that the boss is so obsessed with him!
Then opening a tofu shop was not the end of the matter. He also often spent a lot of effort to obtain information about this man. Now he has started to contact Chen Jiusi, who is suspected to have a relationship with that man.

It's crazy.

Chen Jie and Su Yunjin are here.

Su Yunjin followed behind Chen Jie, and seeing her husband looking worried, she said, "Husband, if you think there is something wrong with Hua Sanniang, I will not have any contact with her and will stay away from her."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "No need. It's not pretty to dodge deliberately."

Su Yunjin said: "Husband, do you think she will threaten your safety? Do you want to tell the hall master?"

Chen Jie said: "At present, we don't know whether this person is an enemy or a friend, so let's wait and see."

Chen Jie thought to himself that he should wait for information tonight to see if he could find out something about this woman.

This woman is really weird. Chen Jie doesn't think that she would become friends with Su Yunjin for no reason. In fact, there must be a reason behind everything.

If Chen Jie can't figure it out, then don't disrupt the current situation.

No matter what she wants to do, let's wait and see.

Thinking this way, the three of them had breakfast, and Chen Jie sent the two girls home. At this time, a carriage came outside.

The coachman Chen Jie recognized it as Si Xi.

Si Xi then parked the carriage and said, "Fifth Master."

Chen Jie went out and saw him, Si Xi said, "Fifth Master, I'm here to take you to the White Tiger Hall."

"Oh, thanks."

Chen Jie followed Si Xi into the car, told Su Yunjin not to wait for him for dinner, and then went straight to Baihu Hall.

The White Tiger Hall was extremely lively at this time, with large red lanterns and various colored strips hanging at the main entrance. There were also many people coming and going in the hall, and there were many tables placed in the yard, clearly a buffet.

When Chen Jie came, Feng Xuan took Chen Jie to meet Peng Shizhong.

Peng Shizhong said: "Well, Jiusi, I have solved your problem for you. There is nothing to worry about."

"Thank you, foster father."

Chen Jie clasped his fists to thank Peng Shizhong, and Peng Shizhong said, "It's okay, you can stay with me today."

"Yes, foster father."

Chen Jie responded and followed Peng Shizhong.

At this time Feng Xuan said: "Why hasn't Lao Liu come yet?"

While he was muttering, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, followed by Zhou Chu running towards him quickly, but it was obvious that his legs were not very flexible.

At the same time, the whole person looked like an eggplant hit by frost, and there were two obvious blue circles under his left and right eyes, probably because he had been shot in the eyes twice.

Seeing Zhou Chu like this, Peng Shizhong frowned and said, "Why are you in such a mess?"

After hearing this, Zhou Chu smiled and said, "It's okay, godfather, I just bumped into it accidentally."

Seeing Zhou Chu's expression, Chen Jie burst into laughter. Peng Shizhong said, "Old Five, do you know what's going on?"

Chen Jie shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just think Lao Liu is a little funny."

After hearing this, Peng Shizhong said, "Don't laugh at me."

Chen Jie immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes."

After hearing this, Zhou Chu glared at Chen Jie, and Chen Jie went over and whispered, "Old Zhou, are you okay?"

Zhou Chu rolled his eyes and said, "What can I do?"

Chen Jie said: "Your eyes are already like this, what else can happen? Did you get beaten up pretty hard yesterday?"

"Heh, who dares to hit me?"

Zhou Chu said: "My status in the family is not exaggerated!"

Chen Jie said: "Next time before you brag, can you please look at your appearance? Your eyes are black, and you are still bragging."

"I...don't talk nonsense everywhere."

Zhou Chu looked depressed.

Chen Jie smiled and said, "I understand, I understand. Besides, since you are like this, there is no need to say more!"

After hearing this, Zhou Chu said, "That woman is really ruthless!"

Chen Jie said: "It's not bad, just two black eyes."

"More than that!"

Chen Jie asked: "You still have three injuries on your body?"

"This is internal injury!"

"internal injury?"

Chen Jie looked at him in surprise and asked, "What kind of internal injury?"

Zhou Chu looked at Chen Jie and said, "Seven times, a full seven times!"

"What the hell, seven times?"

Zhou Chu said: "What else can I do? Just... um!"

Chen Jie raised his hands, clapping, clapping…

Zhou Chu nodded painfully, and Chen Jie widened his eyes and said, "Seven times, your body is in good shape."

Zhou Chu said: "Brother, I have suffered a lot!"

"If I had known this would happen, I would have let her beat me up. Why would it be so...?"

Zhou Chu wanted to cry but had no tears. Chen Jie patted his shoulder and said, "It should be quite comfortable."

Zhou Chu said: "The first and second times are okay, but the fifth, sixth, and seventh times, that's torture. It's better to beat me up."

"Sorry, sorry."

Chen Jie patted Zhou Chu on the shoulder, also feeling deeply moved. This thing is quite cruel. Don’t you like to find women?

Come on, I’m a woman too!

……

Chen Jie didn't feel scared when he thought about it. You know, Lao Zhou's wife is Sun Erniang.

In fact, Chen Jie had never seen him before, but just from the name, Chen Jie felt that it was very murderous. It was not easy for Zhou Chu to be alive and attend this banquet!
While I was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Guests are coming!"

As he was speaking, a group of people holding gifts came in one after another. Feng Xuan and Zheng Chuan were welcoming the guests at the door.

When Peng Shizhong appears, he will become a big shot.

At this time, the guests presented various gifts, and then came over to greet Peng Shizhong, and then praised Chen Jie and Zhou Chu as young talents, and said that Peng Shizhong had found a son.

However, every time a guest came over and said this, they looked at Zhou Chu in surprise.

"Is this natural, or?"

Everyone pointed at Zhou Chu's eyes and asked, Zhou Chu said with a blushing look, "It's natural, natural."

Because of this, people in the martial arts world later gave Zhou Chu a nickname: [Black-eyed Bear—Zhou Chu!]

This is used to describe Zhou Chu's naivety. What bear has black eyes? The giant panda!
After seeing off more than twenty waves of guests, a voice suddenly rang out from outside: "Here comes the leader of the Fishermen's Gang, Nan!"

Everyone was shocked after hearing this!
Leader Nan?
The leader of the Thirteen Guardians, Nan Batian, is here?
