Chapter 193: The Secret Chamber's Treasure Increases Strength
“There really is a secret room!”
When Zhou Chu saw that Chen Jie really pushed the wall, he couldn't help but sigh.
Xiaohu also stood aside with his eyes wide open, looking curiously at the wall in front of him, wanting to know what was behind the wall.
Mudan patted her chest gently, she was so scared. If she lied to Master Chen, the end would not be good!
Now at least I made the right bet.
Thinking of this, Mudan's eyes lit up, and she wondered if she could get the chance to serve Master Chen. By then, with her beauty, even if she couldn't become his wife, at least she could become his concubine and live a life of wealth and glory.
At least it's much better than just going home and marrying those poor farmers at home.
Peony would rather be a concubine of a rich man than a wife of a poor man, which perfectly demonstrates her love for the rich and disdain for the poor.
Of course, such people are not uncommon. There is a saying that goes, "If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth." It is impossible to expect people like them to overcome human greed.
But such people can also be used as long as you are strong enough.
There are many kinds of women. For example, your wife is a model of a good wife and mother. As long as you treat her well, she will treat you well for the rest of your life, no matter you are rich or poor.
There are also people like Huang Wan'er, who are reckless, crazy and passionate, love passionately and are crazy and unrestrained.
Of course, there are also people like chrysanthemums and peonies who despise the poor and love the rich, and are greedy and vain.
These are all normal. Every woman has her own pursuits and aspirations. Su Yunjin likes to take care of her husband and children and live a peaceful life, while Huang Wan'er likes to be unrestrained and loves freedom.
Both women have their own characteristics and both attract Chen Jie.
Chen Jie pushed the wall in front of him with great force. This wall was specially made, with steel plates embedded in it and equipped with mechanisms. It required strength at the Hua Jin level to push it. No wonder Zhou Chu couldn't do it.
Soon the wall was opened, and Zhou Chu and Xiao Hu all looked into the secret room.
Only Mudan lowered her head. Chen Jie also let go of her hand and turned to look at the secret room that had been completely opened. He saw that it was a small room with some exquisite gold and silver utensils and jewelry placed in the room.
This small space seemed magnificent and golden. Chen Jie turned to look at Zhou Chu and Xiaohu. Both of them had curious expressions on their faces.
Only the little girl Peony lowered her head.
Chen Jie looked at Mudan curiously and asked, "Why don't you look up?"
Mudan said: "Secrets like these should be read by masters, not by me."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Interesting, aren't you curious?"
Mudan said: "Not curious."
Chen Jie looked at Mudan and asked, "Really?"
Mudan said: "When I entered the mansion, I was told to look at what I should look at and not look at what I shouldn't look at. The less I know, the longer I will live."
"Quite smart."
Chen Jie smiled and said, "Wait here and don't let anyone in. I'll do what I promised you when you come out."
"Thank you, sir."
Peony was indeed smart. She changed the address directly to "Master!"
Only one's own servants would call someone "master". This person is just trying to take advantage of the situation.
Chen Jie didn't say anything else. Instead, he looked at Zhou Chu and Xiao Hu in front of him and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
The two of them immediately said, "Yes!"
As they spoke, the three of them entered the small secret room. Chen Jie estimated that the secret room was only about three square meters, very small, and there was gold and silver placed around it.
Zhou Chu squatted down and fiddled with these things and said, "Master, these are all valuable things. Look at this agate."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie also squatted down and looked at the gold and silver. With a rough estimate, he found that there were probably less than 20,000 taels of gold and silver ingots.
Then there are some rare jewels and accessories.
Chen Jie took a look and then said to Zhou Chu, "Old Zhou, pick two."
Lao Zhou smiled and said, "Hehe, I'll just pick one for my wife."
Chen Jie was also selecting them, and Xiao Hu was standing aside. Chen Jie said, "Hu Zi, what are you thinking about? Pick two to give to the women in the future."
Xiao Hu heard this and said, "I don't have a woman either. I don't need her."
"My silly tiger, is this useless?"
As he spoke, Zhou Chu rummaged through the pile of jewellery and soon set his sights on a necklace. It was very beautiful, inlaid with all gemstones and did not look cheap.
Zhou Chu said: "This belongs to me."
Chen Jie took a look and said, "Why not take two more?"
Zhou Chu said: "No need, if you have too many women, you won't treasure them. I'll just take this back to my female demon at home!"
After hearing this, Chen Jie asked, "What? Am I still going to punish you now?"
Zhou Chu said: "She dares. I'm not bragging to you. My current family status is such that even my father-in-law has to speak politely to me."
Chen Jie laughed when he heard this, and Zhou Chu followed suit and said, "Use this thing to cheer up my wife. In the years when I was not rich, she was looked down upon by my family. Now that I am rich, I can't forget the kindness she showed me back then!"
Chen Jie said: "You are a man of integrity and loyalty!"
Chen Jie was also searching among these jewels at this time, and then found an emerald green hairpin inlaid with gold and jade.
The emerald green hairpin with gold patterns on it looks elegant, noble, steady and generous.
This hairpin is suitable for giving to the lady. With the lady's temperament, it can definitely bring out the elegance of this hairpin. It is not appropriate for the mistress of the house to carry too many gold and silver items, as it looks tacky.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie set his eyes on a beautiful ruby anklet. It was decorated with rubies and had a gold chain. If it was placed on Huang Wan'er's jade feet, it would be truly charming.
Thinking that Chen Jie was a little distracted, he put the anklet away.
As for the remaining gold, silver and jewelry, there were also a lot of them. Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and said, "Huzi, come and pick one."
Xiao Hu said, "Brother Jiu Si, I don't have a wife either, why do I need this!"
Chen Jie heard this and said, "We don't have it now, but we will have it in the future. Pick one so that you don't have nothing to give in the future."
After hearing this, Xiaohu picked up a gold bracelet. It was very heavy, but the style was not very exquisite. However, such a big gold bracelet was enough to make most women fall in love with it.
Xiaohu said, "Let's take this."
Chen Jie didn't say anything when he saw this. He thought his brother was a fool and just didn't understand.
In addition to the gold and silver jewelry selected by the three of them, there were about twelve or thirteen exquisite pieces of jewelry left. Chen Jie packed them up directly so that they could be rewarded to meritorious officials in the future.
As a gang leader, you must have something in your hand to reward your subordinates.
After receiving the gold and silver jewelry, Chen Jie frowned, because he felt something was wrong. He had gone to so much trouble to make a security door that could only be opened by a master of Hua Jin, and then put some gold and silver items inside. It seemed that Nan Batian's vision was not so shallow.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie reached out and knocked on the wall. Chen Jie suspected that what was in front of him was just a decoy. The truly valuable things should still be hidden. There must be another world in here!
dong dong...
Chen Jie knocked again and again, and finally stomped his feet, and suddenly found that the ground under his feet seemed empty.
"What's wrong, Brother Jiusi?"
Xiao Hu looked at Chen Jie and asked, Chen Jie said: "Why do I feel like the ground is empty?"
empty?
Xiaohu was stunned when he heard this, and then he raised his hand and gently knocked on the stone slab in front of him. After knocking and knocking, Xiaohu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Brother Jiusi, look, there is a zipper here."
Chen Jie took a look and found that there was indeed a hidden zipper on the stone slab. If you didn't pay attention, you would never be able to see it.
Chen Jie walked over, grabbed the zipper directly, and pulled it hard, and then he heard the sound of the iron chain rattling.
This zipper is not the zipper on clothes that we imagine, but a mechanism that uses an iron chain to fasten the floor, and pulls the chain to open the floor.
Chen Jie pulled open the stone slab in front of him with force, and the next moment a cellar appeared in front of him.
There was a staircase extending down. Zhou Chu saw it and said, "Nan Batian is a very smart old fellow. He left some floating treasures outside so that when people push open the trap door outside, they will be dazzled by the gold, silver and jewels in front of them. Who would have thought that there is a cellar under the ground!"
Chen Jie heard this and said, "How could he be a fool if he could roam the Mian River for twenty years?"
Zhou Chu was silent. Yes, this old guy had been active in the Mian River for twenty years, and during this period he almost suffocated Old Monster Liu.
You can say that Nan Batian is bad, that he is unscrupulous and cruel, but you cannot say that he is incompetent. A truly incompetent person would not be able to achieve such success in Mianshui County!
After hearing this, Zhou Chu nodded. That’s right, one cannot say that Nan Batian is a wimp, one can only say that Chen Jiusi is more perverted!
Chen Jie said: "Let's go down and take a look."
After hearing this, Xiaohu said, "I'll go first."
Chen Jie looked at Xiaohu and knew that he was afraid that there might be some trap down there. Whenever this happened, his silly brother would always rush to the front.
Chen Jie said: "Be careful."
At this time, Zhou Chu took out a tinder, walked out of the secret room, took a few books from outside, rushed in again, then lit a book and threw it down the stairs.
Suddenly the staircase appeared, and then they saw what seemed to be an oil lamp on the wall.
The three of them went down and soon saw an oil lamp. They lit the first oil lamp and waited until the distance was just enough to illuminate the next oil lamp. In this way, they lit the oil lamps along the way, and finally the entire secret room was completely illuminated.
This is a large secret room, about the size of a three-bedroom apartment.
In the middle is a spacious living room with tables, chairs, benches, and a bed. It seems that Nan Batian lived here for some time.
Then start dividing from the living room.
There were two rooms on each side. Chen Jie came to one of the rooms and saw a huge cabinet with the names of various medicinal materials written on it.
Chen Jie's eyes lit up instantly. Medicinal herbs, these are all treasures!
Nan Batian has been hoarding medicinal herbs for twenty years, and there must be something among them that Chen Jie needs.
The pill recipe [Qi and Blood Pill] that he got from the pretty beauty Han He required a large amount of medicinal materials, and he still lacked a lot of auxiliary and main medicines.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie searched among these herbs.
After reading it from beginning to end, Chen Jie was pleasantly surprised to find that Nan Batian’s accumulation of twenty years was really not to be underestimated, and there were so many good things.
After this round, he had gathered all the auxiliary medicines needed to refine the [Qi and Blood Pill].
Chen Jie even found a piece of unrefined [Tai Sui meat] here.
The two main ingredients of Qi and Blood Pills are [Bishui Zhuguo] and [Tai Sui Meat]
Now I have the Tai Sui meat and all the auxiliary medicines. The only thing missing is the Bi Shui Zhu Fruit. If I have this medicine, I can refine the [Qi and Blood Pill] and officially enter the Qi and Blood Pill realm.
Unfortunately, Nan Batian doesn't have [Green Water Red Fruit] either.
Chen Jie thought, if it really doesn't work, he will go back and ask Old Monster Liu to see if he has the Green Water Red Fruit.
But now everything is fine after all. In the past, I lacked too many medicinal materials and it can be said that I had almost no idea how to refine the [Qi and Blood Pill].
But now all thirty-six auxiliary medicines are available, and one of the two main medicines has been found. Only one is missing, so the hope of success is much greater!
Chen Jie was still satisfied with the harvest.
He also found a separate red sandalwood box on top of the herbs. When he opened it, he found a [Hua Ling Dan] inside.
The Hualing Pill is a treasure that can help people in the Tiegu Realm to enter the Huajing Realm.
Chen Jie was quite happy to get this Hualing Pill. After the Qin Ying brothers were killed and he took over the Fishing Gang, the Huajin strength was only left with Xiaohu, who was too weak.
They are far inferior to the time when Nan Batian was the gang leader. If they want to maintain the fishing gang's dominance over the Mian River, they must train a few more masters of Hua Jin to support them.
But how can it be easy to train a master of Hua Jin? After all, Chen Jie has only been in Mian Shui for a year, and his foundation is too shallow.
Therefore, it is very difficult to cultivate a master of Hua Jin. But now with this ready-made Hua Ling Pill, we can directly cultivate a master of Hua Jin.
But who should I give this Spiritual Pill to?
Xiaohu directly ruled out Zhou Chu and Sixi, who were close to him. Chen Zhu and Chen Gou were still young and were not considered.
That leaves Zhou Chu and Si Xi. These two are now his right-hand men. Zhou Chu is his foreign affairs representative, and he basically helps run some gang affairs.
And Si Xi, that was his logistics manager, also came to surrender.
But after following me, they are loyal to me, so I cannot treat them differently!
Chen Jie thought about it and finally made up his mind.
"Chu Zhou, this is for you!"
"what!"
Zhou Chu was surprised when he saw Chen Jie giving him the [Spiritual Transformation Pill] that could almost decide a person's fate.
"Master, you, you gave it to me?"
Chen Jie looked at Zhou Chu and said, "Why not?"
"Yes, yes!"
Zhou Chu snatched it away, then looked at the pill in his hand, tears welling up in his eyes.
He thought a lot.
Even though he usually laughs and jokes, he knows the fickleness of human nature in his heart.
What was he like a year ago? He was a son-in-law who married into the family and was looked down upon by everyone. Although the Sun family treated him well, people outside were gossiping about him. Anyone who saw him would say that he was a loser with no future.
It's a pool of stinky dog shit!
But since I met Jiu Si and followed him, my career has really soared.
His status has jumped three levels this year, from being despised by the Sun family, to being respected by the Sun family, and then to being slightly looked up to by the Sun family.
He truly felt the change in his destiny.
And now Jiu Si gave himself this precious spiritual pill.
What does Hualingdan represent? It represents a master of Huajin!
What does a master of Hua Jin represent?
It represents identity and status!
It means that from now on, Zhou Chu will stand up completely and become a leading figure in Mianyang, and he himself will also enter the upper echelons.
After entering the state of Hua Jin, he was afraid that all members of the Sun family would have no choice but to look up to him. This feeling made Zhou Chu feel unprecedentedly refreshed.
It is difficult for ordinary people to understand the joy of a son-in-law's counterattack.
But he understood, and what he understood even more clearly was that his achievements today were all given to him by Chen Jiusi.
If it weren't for Chen Jiusi's step-by-step support, he would still be the despised son-in-law and have to endure other people's contempt.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chu's eyes welled up with tears: "Master, I..."
Zhou Chu covered his eyes. Chen Jie and Xiao Hu looked at each other and laughed, "Hey, Hu Zi, did you see that? When your brother Zhou cries, he looks like an old woman!"
Hu Zi grinned and said, "Haha, my brother Zhou has always looked like an old woman."
"I'll go to you!"
Zhou Chu kicked towards Xiaohu with tears in his eyes, but Xiaohu dodged it.
The three of them burst into laughter immediately. Sometimes, men's love is just that simple.
They knew each other from a small fishing village in Mianshui County, and have been together all the way, experiencing life and death. Their relationship is almost like that of brothers. Although Chen Jie is not very old, Zhou Chu and Xiaohu both treat Chen Jie like an older brother!
Chen Jie patted Zhou Chu on the shoulder and said, "It is better to do it now than to wait for a day. Xiaohu, you will protect Old Zhou and break through the Huajin here."
Zhou Chu heard this and said, "Yes."
Xiaohu said, "Okay."
As they spoke, the two of them started taking pills to achieve a breakthrough in the middle living room.
Chen Jie thought he had nothing to do, so he went to another room next door.
As soon as he entered the room, Chen Jie was attracted by everything in front of him. There was a wall of books, all of which were martial arts secrets.
Chen Jie looked through it and found that there were more martial arts secrets than what Peng Shizhong had accumulated. However, many of them were repeated versions. However, excluding the parts that were repeated with Peng Shizhong's martial arts secrets, there were still a total of thirty-four different martial arts secrets books here.
This is also a priceless treasure.
Chen Jie flipped through it from beginning to end to see Nan Batian’s collection.
I have to say that Nan Batian’s collection is much better than Peng Shizhong’s.
Among them, there are twenty basic skills below the Liujin realm that Peng Shizhong does not have.
There are also seven or eight books on the intermediate level skills of the Iron Bone Realm.
There are even three books on the Hua Jin technique.
A copy of [Subduing Tiger Fist], a copy of [Thirteen Styles of Fierce Tiger] swordsmanship, and a set of internal strength techniques [Three-in-one Strength]
The Subduing Tiger Fist and the Thirteen Forms of the Fierce Tiger should come from the same school. The skills are highly related and should belong to a set.
Chen Jie took a look and said it came from Fuhumen in Shaanxi.
According to legend, this was a well-known local martial arts school, similar to the status of the fishing gang in Mianshui County. The Subduing Tiger Fist was a representative martial art of the local martial arts school.
Only those who are at the elder level or above in the sect can practice it.
Chen Jie knew that there were many small sects in the world like the Mianshui County Fishing Gang and the Cao Gang. Many of them were dependent on the local court to assist the court in managing the people.
There is no way, this is the political environment.
However, this Subduing Tiger Fist is a very powerful martial art that can be practiced by the elders of a sect.
Chen Jie took a look and found that it was indeed very powerful. It was considered a good martial art, otherwise it would not have been collected by Nan Batian.
As for the Thirteen Styles of Fierce Tiger, it is a similar martial art, but it uses weapons, namely a sword technique.
It would not be of much use for Chen Jie not to practice with the sword, but by watching, he could learn by analogy and acquire some martial arts skills.
These two martial arts were not of much help to Chen Jie, at most they were used to broaden his horizons.
However, this third skill was of some help to Chen Jie.
This is an internal martial arts technique, but what is important is not its identity as an internal martial arts technique. You must know that Chen Jie's Yangchun Jue, as an internal martial arts technique, has various advantages that are absolutely not comparable to this Sanhe Jin.
What is important is that one of the martial arts concepts is that the three forces are a kind of fusion force, and when practicing, they are divided into three training methods: internal force, external force, and natural force.
When attacking, the three kinds of energy combine into one, with enormous power. Looking at the above introduction, Chen Jie had a special idea. What do you think would happen if the internal energy of these three forces was replaced with Yangchun Jue?
If the external force is replaced with Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, can the combination of the two produce an effect where one plus one is greater than two?
Chen Jie took these three forces and looked at them. What he was looking at was not the long-distance rotation of the skills, but a martial arts concept!
If you add weapons.
Internal strength Yangchun Jue, external strength horizontal training of Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, plus natural force, weapon "Thirteen Spears to Break Disaster"
If the three martial arts were combined, wouldn't the power be incredible?
However, it is extremely difficult to achieve this kind of fusion. But the person who created the Sanhe Jin is definitely a strange person. He actually found a tentative method to slowly try to achieve fusion.
This is the greatest impact that the Sanhe Jin has on Chen Jie.
Chen Jie felt that the man who created the Sanhe Jin was as creative as Zhou Botong, one of the five famous masters of the Quanzhen Sect in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Zhou Botong created the Kongming Fist, which can be used to fight with both hands.
And this master of Sanhe Jin actually thought of combining internal force with external force, combining inside and outside, to form three forces, so that he can use three kinds of martial arts, and he succeeded. It has to be said that he is a genius.
However, this master's skills should not be very strong, because the three kinds of strength in the Sanhe Jin, if separated, should be three Iron Bone Realm skills.
When they are put together, they become this triad power.
Why use the Iron Bone Realm's skills to integrate them instead of something stronger?
Is it that the person who created this technique is too weak, or is it that the stronger the technique, the more repulsive it is, and the greater the resistance to merging them together.
Chen Jie shook his head. It seemed that he would need to study it slowly on his own in the future.
Thinking like this, at this moment, there was a noise outside, and then Xiaohu said, "Haha, Brother Zhou, you did it, you did it!"
Zhou Chu also shouted: "Haha, I have transformed my strength, I have transformed my strength!"
After hearing the two's excited words, Chen Jie came out of the room and saw the two of them looking excited. Zhou Chu even looked at Chen Jie and said, "Master, I have transformed my energy."
Chen Jie looked at Zhou Chu and said, "Okay, Old Zhou, hit me!"
Upon hearing that, Zhou Chu slapped Chen Jie with his palm. Chen Jie raised his hand and slapped him back. He felt that Zhou Chu's palm was powerful and there was a burst of energy gushing out. It was indeed the transformation of energy. Moreover, what Zhou Chu took was a complete Hualing Pill, which was much better than Xiaohu's initial breakthrough.
The half of the Hualing Pill that Xiaohu took at the beginning forced a breakthrough, which resulted in congenital deficiency. Later, Chen Jie helped him to supplement it, and now he has recovered to normal level.
However, what Zhou Chu took was a normal elixir, so his entry into the state of transformation was normal, and his cultivation level was not affected at all.
Chen Jie said: "You have the realm, but your moves are too poor. Here, take these three books and learn them."
Chen Jie threw the three martial arts books in his hand to Zhou Chu and said, "Don't damage them. These are the property of the gang. When you are done learning, you have to send them to the library."
After hearing this, Zhou Chu grinned and said, "I see, Hall Master, hahahaha..."
Zhou Chu is really full of energy and vigor. He has finally achieved his energy. I am going to become a famous figure in Mianshui County, hahahaha…
Maybe I can even become one of the Thirteen Protectors. From now on, in Mianshui County, everyone who sees me must call me Master Zhou.
Humph, I'll scare my wife when I go home tonight, and then I'll ask her to make me some water to wash my feet, hahahaha...
Thinking of Zhou Chu, I felt very happy.
Chen Jie said at this time: "There should be nothing here. Send the people from the White Tiger Camp to transport all these medicinal herbs and secret manuals to the White Tiger Hall. From now on, the White Tiger Hall will be changed to the headquarters, and a hall will be set up here."
"Yes."
Xiaohu and Zhou Chu responded in unison.
At this time, Chen Jie took away the medicinal materials needed to refine the [Qi and Blood Pill] himself. The rest of the medicinal materials and secret books were not so precious, so he asked the disciples of Baihu Hall to be responsible for transportation.
After a busy day, it was already dawn.
Chen Jie asked Zhou Chu to take charge of the next matters, then changed into ordinary people's clothes and took Xiaohu to Baihu Hall.
As for why he changed his clothes, his sleeves were shattered by Nan Batian. If he didn't change his clothes, he would have to go out on the street wearing a waistcoat...
Come to the street.
At this time, the breakfast vendors had already lit the stove and started making various breakfasts, and diners also started to come out.
At this time, we were sitting at the breakfast stall and chatting: They didn't sleep well last night, and the streets were full of shouting and killing, and no one knew what was going on.
When someone asks a question, naturally someone will answer it. A diner who was eager to express himself said, "It seems to be catching the Southern Tyrant."
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this. Who is Nan Batian? He is the underground king who has been dominating the Mian River for twenty years.
It is such a thing that if you stomp your feet, the entire Mian River will shake three times.
Why arrest him?
After hearing this, the guest said, "You may not know, but I heard someone say through the wall last night that this Nan Batian colluded with the Zoroastrians and rebelled!"
"Zoroastrianism? What is that?"
In fact, ordinary people don’t know much about Zoroastrianism.
At this time, the diner boasted: "You don't know this, Zoroastrianism is the red scarf of the north!"
"Oh, that's quite a commotion."
When everyone heard this, they all exclaimed in surprise.
At this time, someone asked: "Hey, how come Nan Batian's collusion with the Red Turbans was discovered when it was so secretive?"
A diner asked curiously.
After hearing this, the show-off guest said, "He chose the wrong opponent. Master Chen of the White Tiger Hall knows this, right?"
After hearing this, everyone said, "We have heard of it. We have heard of it."
The diner looked at the people around him and his desire to show off was immediately satisfied. However, when he turned around, he saw two people nearby who were wolfing down the hot wontons. They ate each hot wonton without even thinking it was too hot, as if they were starving ghosts reincarnated.
The diner frowned slightly. Everyone is watching him bragging, why aren't you watching?
So the diners knocked on the table with their hands: "Hey hey hey..."
Ok?
At this time, the two of them looked up at the diners, somewhat confused.
The diner looked at them and said, "Hey, did you hear us?"
"Oh, I heard it. Wasn't he talking about Chen Jiusi?"
At this time, the young man who was eating hot wontons said casually.
"Hey, Chen Jiusi, that's something you can call me? That's Master Chen!"
When the diners heard the young man shout out the name Chen Jiusi so casually, they immediately felt that he was too disrespectful to their idol and became furious!
The young man seemed not to care and said, "Oh, Master Chen, Master Chen."
The customer looked at the young man and said, "You are from the countryside, right? From the looks of you, you don't know how powerful Master Chen is."
The young man said, "He's nothing special, he's just a gangster."
"Hey, kid, you dare to look down on Master Chen, and you call him a gangster. He is the king of Mianshui. Let me tell you, and everyone else, listen carefully. Master Chen, my full name is Chen Jiusi, from Xiantao Town. I came to the county a year ago and was still an insignificant little person."
"Guess what happened. In just half a year, he went from being an insignificant little person to becoming the head of the White Tiger Hall."
"Under his management, the White Tiger Hall is thriving and has firmly suppressed the Fishing Gang's headquarters. The old thief Nan Batian is jealous of talented people and wants to frame our Master Chen. In the end, can he defeat our Master Chen?"
"Master Chen used a little trick to find out the secret of his secret connection with the Zoroastrianism. Yesterday and overnight, he dispatched troops to the Fishermen's Gang. Now it is unknown whether Nan Batian is dead or alive, but the Fishermen's Gang has been completely under the control of Master Chen."
"Let me ask you one question, is Master Chen awesome?"
……
This diner was obviously a fanatic fan of Chen Jie. He slapped the table and asked. After hearing this, everyone nodded in unison: "Great, great..."
"What's even more amazing is that Master Chen is only nineteen years old this year. What were you doing at nineteen? Master Chen is already the king of Mianshui!"
"Hey, how old are you?"
The diner looked at the young man who was still eating wontons with his head down and asked in dissatisfaction.
The young man looked up and said, "It seems to be nineteen."
"Look, look, we are both nineteen, but Master Chen is already the king of Mianshui and will soon be the leader of the largest gang in Mianshui. And you can only eat wontons here. This is the difference, the difference!"
The diners said excitedly.
Seeing the diners like this, the young man in black clothes beside him finished eating the wontons and waved his hand, "Boss, check out!"
After hearing this, the boss came over and said with a big smile on his face, "Master Hu, it's an honor for me to have you and Master Chen come to my stall to eat wontons. I can't ask for money."
After hearing this, the young man eating wontons stood up and said, "The money is on the table. The boss is doing a booming business."
"Thank you, Master Chen."
The boss bowed immediately. At this time, the young man brought the young man in black to a nearby distance. There was a team of ten people here, leading two horses. Two of them got on the horses and left directly.
Watching the two men leave, the people around them said, "Who are these two? How can they ride horses?"
The customer also looked puzzled and asked, "Does the boss know these two?"
The boss looked at the customer and said, "Mr. Ke, you are really lucky. You praised the true God in front of him. Do you know who just left?"
The diners and the people around them all shook their heads.
The boss put the towel over his shoulder and said, "White Tiger Hall, Chen Jiusi, Master Chen!"
"what!"
After hearing this, everyone stood up in shock, and then looked into the distance in shock. The diner also widened his eyes.
"Mr. Chen?"
The diner looked horrified, then looked at the people around him and said, "Did I push Master Chen just now?"
"Ok!"
"Did I just mock Master Chen?"
"Ah."
"I just……"
"Yes, you did it all."
The diners around all nodded. One of them patted him on the shoulder and said, "If it was Nan Batian just now, your head would have exploded! It's only because Master Chen is so magnanimous!"
After hearing this, the diner sat down with a plop, looking as if he had lost his soul.
At this time, the wonton stand owner came over and put down a bowl of wontons and said, "Okay, you didn't say anything bad about Master Chen, it's okay, Master Chen is not like Nan Batian, he is very friendly to people, this Mianshui County is ruled by him, we are blessed."
At this time, the customer reacted and asked, "Boss, how do you know Mr. Chen?"
After hearing this, people around looked over curiously. How could this ordinary wonton stall owner know Mr. Chen?
The wonton stall owner straightened up and pointed to a house not far away and said, "See? When Master Chen first came to Mianshui, he lived in our big vegetable market, in that house."
Everyone understood instantly after hearing this.
……
“Lao Yang’s wontons are getting better and better.”
Chen Jie picked his teeth while riding on his horse. Xiaohu said, "Well, the meat filling this time is bigger than before."
Chen Jie said: "Let's go and eat. They always pack us meat. Oh, you pay..."
"Don't worry, Brother Jiu Si, I gave you money for an extra bowl."
Xiaohu said, and Chen Jie said, "Well, don't let him lose money."
Xiaohu said, "Brother Jiusi, we can't always go there to eat wontons from now on."
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Well, yes, otherwise it will affect other people's business."
"I'm not talking about this. Brother Jiu Si, you're going to be the gang leader soon. If you always eat outside and people find out, it's easy for them to poison you, which makes it hard for us to protect you."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "I understand. I won't go there anymore."
A change in identity will make a person lose his former happiness. For example, after Chen Jie became the gang leader, he could no longer eat at roadside stalls at will.
The group quickly returned to White Tiger Hall.
The two of them rode to the door and saw a head sticking out from the top of the wall. When they saw it was Chen Jie, they immediately said excitedly: "Master Chen is back, Master Chen is back."
After hearing this, the door opened quickly and Si Xi came out.
Looking at the bloodshot in Si Xi's eyes, Chen Jie knew that he didn't sleep well that night.
Chen Jie patted Sixi on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. The alert has been lifted. Let's all rest. Rest now. You should also go back and have a good sleep."
After hearing this, Si Xi said, "Yes, the fishing gang..."
Chen Jie said, "Nan Batian has escaped. I have taken over the headquarters of the Fishermen's Gang. Oh, and a batch of precious medicinal herbs and martial arts secrets will be shipped back soon. Please help take them and store the medicinal herbs in the warehouse and the martial arts secrets in the library."
"Okay, I'll watch it myself."
"No, just send someone to pick it up."
Chen Jiedao.
Si Xi said, "No, I don't trust others to handle this. Hall Master, you should go and have a rest. The next things will be enough for you to do."
Chen Jie nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Make sure you get some rest."
"Yes."
Chen Jie entered the yard and soon arrived at the inner courtyard.
At this time, the maids in the inner courtyard had all gotten up. Yin Hongmei came out of the room carrying a basin of water. She saw Chen Jie and bowed in surprise, saying, "Master, you're back!"
Chen Jie glanced at her and asked, "Where's the Madam?"
Yin Hongmei said: "I stayed in the house and didn't sleep all night."
Chen Jie nodded gently and said, "Well, you go ahead and get busy. Let the kitchen prepare some warm tonic food."
"Yes."
At this time, Chen Jie slowly walked to Su Yunjin's door and pushed it open.
Su Yunjin was sitting in front of the dressing table with her back to the door. When she heard the noise behind her, she thought it was Yin Hongmei coming back from fetching water, so she said, "Hongmei, bring me the comb."
After hearing this, Chen Jie saw a wooden comb on the table.
He picked up the wooden comb, gently came behind Su Yunjin, reached out to touch Su Yunjin's hair, and gently combed her hair.
Su Yunjin said: "Hongmei, my hair at the back is a little messy, please help me comb it straight, so my husband doesn't see it when he comes back..."
Chen Jie smiled and continued to comb her hair. Su Yunjin was stunned and turned back. Chen Jie held her shoulders and said, "Don't move!"
"Ah, husband, you're back!"
There was surprise in Su Yunjin's voice. She had been worried all night and had not slept well.
Chen Jie said: "Well, I'm back."
"Are all resolved?"
Su Yunjin asked after a moment of hesitation.
Chen Jie said: "Well, it's solved."
"Husband, please don't comb my hair. If someone sees you, they will laugh at you. Let Hongmei do it."
Su Yunjin said.
Chen Jie said: "My wife has been worried about me all night, so what's wrong with me combing her hair? If anyone dares to laugh at me, I will break his legs!"
Su Yunjin said: "Husband, you..."
"Okay, okay, sit down. Your hair is messy. Let me comb it for you."
Chen Jie was combing his wife's hair with a comb. His wife was looking behind her through the bronze mirror, her eyes full of happiness.
Finally, her hair was combed. Just as Su Yunjin was about to stand up, she suddenly saw Chen Jie take out a beautiful gold-inlaid jade hairpin and inserted it into her bun.
It immediately made the lady look more dignified and beautiful.
Su Yunjin was stunned and asked, "Where did you get the hairpin, my husband?"
"Does it look good?"
Chen Jie asked.
Su Yunjin smiled and said, "It looks good."
"Do you like it?"
Su Yunjin put her hand on her shoulder, touched Chen Jie's hand and said happily, "I like everything my husband gives me."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately picked up Su Yunjin by the waist. His wife was shocked: "Husband...child..."
Chen Jie carried Su Yunjin to the bed, gently put her down, looked at her nervous wife and said, "I heard someone said she didn't sleep all night, so have a good sleep."
The lady heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. She was really afraid that Chen Jie would make a request, and she was afraid that she would not be able to refuse and hurt the child...
"Close your eyes, I'll watch you sleep here."
Chen Jie held his wife's hand, and she gently closed her eyes and soon fell asleep peacefully.
Seeing that his wife had fallen asleep, Chen Jie covered her with a quilt and got up.
At this time, there were footsteps outside. Xiaohu was about to knock on the door when Chen Jie came out and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The Yelu Mansion has sent someone to invite you to come over to discuss matters!"
Chen Jie's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this: "As expected, he is here..."
