Chapter 35 035

After coming out of this small restaurant, it was already sunny outside.

Su Yunqing, Li Jin and others had left, and Li Chengen felt relieved after seeing Lu Chen's figure.

"Master, where are you going next?" He did not ask more about the content of the conversation, adhering to his own ethics.

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said softly: "Let's go to Dongcheng."

He knew that the person he should see most now was Lu Tong, but the old man took a carriage to Hailing County below to inspect shops early in the morning, and would not return until evening at the earliest.

Another point is that he had made an agreement with Lin Xi before. Recently, he would practice the Shangxuan Sutra every day. Today has been postponed for a long time. Even if he doesn't practice martial arts, he still has to tell someone.

The two of them walked through this narrow alley and then crossed a side street. Li Chengen suddenly stopped, looked ahead and said, "Master, over there."

Lu Chen looked around and saw a graceful figure standing at the corner, with those sharp eyes looking at him.

Who is it if it’s not Lin Xi?
Lu Chen walked over, while Li Chengen raised the corners of his mouth and turned around to leave without leaving a trace.

Arriving in front of Lin Xi, Lu Chen said with regret, "I've met Senior Sister. I bumped into an acquaintance when I was going out today, and he forced me to say goodbye, so I didn't go as promised. Please forgive me, Senior Sister."

Lin Xi did not expose his lie on the spot. Even if he met an acquaintance and was unable to escape, he could still send Li Chengen a message.

This was not a big deal. She was not so stingy, so she said gently: "It doesn't matter. You learn quickly, it doesn't matter if you relax a little now and then."

Lu Chen smiled slightly, and then asked: "How come senior sister appears here?"

"I... cough cough..." Lin Xi raised his hand to cover his mouth and said softly: "I have heard that Guangling City is rich in the world. I have been here for more than ten days but haven't come back. Seeing that you haven't arrived today, I thought of going out for a walk. visit."

Lu Chen noticed that she had put on a round-neck robe that was convenient for movement. No makeup was applied on her face, and her hair was simply tied up with only a jade hairpin in it.

He immediately realized that Lin Xi was clearly dressed in a hurry and was prepared to fight with others.

As for the purpose of doing this, they probably thought he was in trouble and went out to look for him.

The two people's eyes met. Lin Xi realized that the excuse he made at random seemed not convincing enough, and then looked away.

Lu Chen looked to the other side and followed her words and said, "I see. I didn't think well. I should have asked Senior Sister to take a look at the scenery of the city. Since we happened to meet each other, why not just rest for half a day and let me show my friendship as a landlord. May I?"

"Yeah." Lin Xi responded.

They walked in front, and Li Chengen followed at a distance.

Looking at the backs of the two of them walking side by side, he suddenly felt that what the master said a few days ago was quite reasonable.

Lu Chen was tall and tall, probably over 1.8 meters using the measurement method in his previous life.From Li Chengen's perspective, the mysterious girl Lin was only about half a head shorter than his young master.

After a while, when we arrived at the East-West Main Street, there were suddenly more passers-by.

From time to time, someone quietly looked at Lin Xi.

Huaizhou has always had many beauties, and most of the maids around Lu Chen have good looks, especially Song Pei, who has the best color. However, the women here are generally not tall.

A young woman with a slender figure and a feminine appearance like Lin Xi is not easy to see on the street.

Lin Xi has been practicing the Mysterious Sutra for nearly ten years, and has already mastered the internal energy method. His five senses are naturally much sharper than ordinary people.

She noticed that many pairs of eyes were looking at her, and she felt ashamed and annoyed for no reason, but it was unlikely that it would happen out of nowhere, so she whispered: "Junior brother."

Beside did not respond.

Lin Xi turned around and saw Lu Chen's brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was in a trance.Only then did she realize that after she said "ok", the two of them didn't speak again during the walk.

Of course Lu Chen didn't do this on purpose.

At first he was thinking about what topic to start with, but as soon as his thoughts wandered, Su Yunqing's unflattering face appeared in his mind.

Regarding Su Yunqing's proposal, Lu Chen certainly would not agree to it in a flash. While arguing with Su Yunqing, he had been calmly analyzing the pros and cons.

Su Yunqing finally said that he could transfer from the Weaving Department to the army in the future.In his hypothesis, Lu Chen had made great achievements in the north at that time, and no longer had to start as a soldier in the army, he would have been at least a mid-level military officer.

However, the Weaving Department has no right to intervene in military affairs of this level. If Su Yunqing did not deceive or deceive, it means that this matter has been approved by Xiao Wangzhi.

"Junior brother?" Lin Xi's slightly raised tone interrupted his thoughts.

Lu Chen suddenly woke up, turned around and saw Lin Xi's eyebrows frowning slightly, and couldn't help but said awkwardly: "Senior sister, I'm sorry."

Lin Xi was not angry, but she didn't want to be noticed and saluted on the street anymore. Her cheeks were slightly dizzy, and she lowered her voice and said, "I'm hungry." Lu Chen quickly said, "Then I'll take my senior sister to try Guangling's special food."

The two walked forward for a while, then turned into the nearby Kuan Alley and came to a three-story wine shop called "Chun Dai Shui".

In addition to fine wine, this place is also famous for its delicious river fish. It has always been a holy place for gourmets.

It was approaching noon, and the lobby was already packed, but the waiter was very smart. When he saw Lu Chen, he greeted him with a smile: "Greetings, Mr. Lu! There are seats prepared for you upstairs."

He led the two of them to the second floor. There were still a few empty tables here. Lu Chen asked Lin Xi's opinion and finally chose a table by the window.

Lin Xi found that Lu Chen was very attentive and respected her feelings, which was very different from his previous state of absent-mindedness.

In fact, she has never had the experience of eating alone with a man of similar age. Whether it was in the cottage or later in the world, she was either alone or accompanied by a group of burly men.

Lu Chen also knew that he was a little rude just now. Lin Xi came all the way to teach him martial arts, and out of the sense of responsibility of his senior sister, he came out to check on the situation, but he left her aside - it was all because of that Su Yunqing, he would have to settle the score carefully next time they meet.

He was a smart man, and he quickly got into the mood after clearing up his mood. While waiting for the food to be served, he chatted casually with Lin Xi, finally eliminating the vague feeling of unfamiliarity between the two.

"Hey, isn't this Young Master Lu?"

A slightly harsh voice interrupted the conversation of the young man and woman rudely.

This lookless man was in his twenties. He was wearing a brocade gown. One look at the material showed that he was rich or noble. He was followed by two boys.If the expression on his face were more sinister, he would be infinitely close to the kind of playboy Lu Chen had in his mind who bullies men and dominates women with no knowledge or skills.

Other guests on the second floor looked over one after another. After recognizing the identities of Lu Chen and this man, they couldn't help but feel secretly interested.

Looking at the slightly vain face, Lu Chen said lightly: "Who are you?"

The man sneered and said: "Young Master Lu, I heard that you got a serious illness in Pseudo-Yan territory, but unfortunately you survived. It's not because of this illness that your brain was burned out, and even your second brother Gu can't remember it. Bar?"

Lu Chendeng immediately understood that this person should be the second son of Gu Zisi, the head of the Gu family, named Gu Junhui.

The Lu and Gu families have been fighting for many years. There is no deep hatred, but there are countless bumps and bruises.Normally, if Gu Junhui met Lu Chen in the city, he would inevitably provoke him verbally.

Lu Chen smiled apologetically at Lin Xi, while Lin Xi shook his head slightly to show that he didn't care.

When Gu Junhui saw this, he came over, put his hands on the edge of the table, glanced at Lin Xi's face, and said with a strange smile: "This girl——"

Before the word "mother" could be spoken, Lu Chen raised his hand and slapped it with his palm. Second Young Master Gu immediately flew backwards into the air, fell hard to the ground, and then let out a miserable howl.

This scene shocked the other diners, but a strange look suddenly flashed in Lin Xi's eyes.

It had nothing to do with Lu Chen's decisive move, but she could see clearly that before Lu Chen's palm touched the man's body, and there was still a little gap, the man flew backwards.

In just twelve days, he initially understood the existence of Qi.

Lin Xi was surprised, could this junior brother be really a genius?
Over there, Gu Junhui was in so much pain that he couldn't get up. He shouted at the boys, "What are you waiting for? Beat him!"

"stop!"

Another man in his thirties came down from the third floor. He first glared at Gu Junhui coldly and scolded in a low voice: "I know how to cause trouble!"

Gu Junhui immediately didn't dare to scream anymore, because this person was his eldest brother Gu Junye, the confirmed heir to the family head.

Gu Junye looked at Lu Chen and said habitually: "My brother is ignorant and stupid. He bumped into the two of you, and I beg for forgiveness. Well, it turns out to be Mr. Lu."

The two looked at each other, and Gu Junye immediately lowered his head, his posture impeccable.

However, Lu Chen's heart trembled because he saw a hint of fear on the other person's face. Although the person immediately adjusted his gaze and looked away, Lu Chen was sure that he had seen it correctly.

"Now that Young Master Gu has spoken, let's forget about this matter. Please keep an eye on your younger brother when you have time." Lu Chen said calmly.

The diners on the second floor shook their heads secretly, feeling bored.

The storm disappeared, and before the Gu brothers left, Lu Chen suddenly said, "Young Master Gu, is Chen Changshi okay these days?"

Gu Junye showed a slightly puzzled look, and after a casual perfunctory moment, he asked the boys to help Gu Junhui leave.

Lu Chen secretly thought, judging from the other party's behavior, he probably didn't know about the news that Chang Shi Chen Yi was going to be unlucky. After all, Su Yunqing hadn't given the order to take action yet, so this person couldn't have predicted it.

If the Gu family got wind of it, how could the two brothers still have the intention to have a banquet outside.

In this case, what should he be afraid of after seeing himself?
Could it be that... there is something really fishy about the Gu family?
