Chapter 88: This will be the Cheng family’s place to raise troops!

Zhao Kuan hurriedly shook his head, waved his hands tremblingly, and looked sad.

"No, no, I don't dare, and I don't know anyway."

He was only responsible for selling it, so how could he dare to ask more questions?

Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief and loosened his grip a little.

That's true.

"After I realized his intention, I have been very cautious. Even when I was drinking and chatting with him on weekdays, I was very careful and never dared to drink too much."

"As for the food issue, I mentioned it to him once, and he said that he did have some food, but the man behind him could definitely provide more!"

As Zhao Kuan spoke, he kept wiping the sweat off his face, feeling extremely regretful.

If only he hadn't been so greedy for credit in the first place.

"I originally thought that if I could buy more, you would definitely be happier, sir."

"I only found out later that the man behind the wealthy businessman was actually the Emperor of Muyuan."

After saying this, Zhao Kuan kowtowed continuously on the ground.

"No matter how many mistakes I made, they are all my fault. If you want to punish me or kill me, I have no complaints. I only ask you to consider that my uncle has served you and the master for many years and not take your anger out on him."

Chen Ying frowned and raised his hand.

"Okay, get up."

He is a man with a conscience, and it's no wonder that Butler Zhao treats him like his own son.

"Don't mention this to anyone else, including Butler Zhao."

"Yes, yes, I obey your command."

"As for Muyuan Country..."

Chen Ying narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Everything is normal. You deal with them first. If there is any situation, report to me immediately."

"yes."

Suddenly, Chen Ying frowned, looked towards the door, and shouted sternly.

"Who's there?!"

"Meow~"

"ah!"

Then there was a sound of porcelain breaking.

Hearing this voice, Chen Ying gave Zhao Kuan a look.

"You should go back first and remember what I just told you."

"yes."

After Zhao Kuan left, Chen Ying walked out of the study.

At the window, I saw a woman squatting on the ground picking up broken soup bowls.

"Why are you here?"

The woman shuddered at the sound of his voice.

"hiss!"

The fragments cut his finger and blood immediately gushed out.

The woman looked up at him timidly.

"Master Chen?"

Chen Ying helped the person up and looked at her.

"Aoba?"

"Why are you here?"

"I heard from the maid in the mansion that you were still busy, so I went to the kitchen to stew some chicken soup for you. Suddenly, a cat rushed out and I was startled, and all the soup spilled."

The woman in front of him had a face that was 70% similar to the deceased lady and was holding up a cut finger.

This made Chen Ying frown.

"Come in, I'll help you apply the medicine first."

Qingye glanced at the broken bowl on the ground, his tone hinting with hesitation.

"But here?"

"Don't worry, someone will take care of it."

After bandaging the wound, Chen Ying said as he packed up the medicine bottles.

"Don't come to the study room casually in the future, and don't walk around the mansion casually."

Hearing this, Qingye, whose cheeks were originally slightly red, instantly had red eyes and she quickly lowered her head.

"Okay sir, Qingye understands."

Chen Ying seemed not to notice her expression and continued talking with a calm tone.

"Yijiang thought you were gone, so try not to leave your yard in the future. I have sent people to look for your family. Once you find them, you can leave."

Qingye sniffed, forced a smile, and bowed slightly towards him.

"Thank you, sir."

"You should also take care of your health, don't work too late, and rest early."

After saying this, Qingye seemed to realize something was wrong, and she quickly lowered her head, looking as if she had done something wrong.

"I, am not... Qingye takes his leave."

After saying that, she ate her noodles and ran out in a hurry.

Chen Ying stood on the chair, thinking about her expression when she said that just now.

Once upon a time, his wife often advised him like this.

When he got outside, Qingye stopped, turned around and looked in the direction of the study. Under the moonlight, he looked puzzled.

"Miss Qingye?"

Suddenly a voice was heard.

It's Butler Zhao!

Qingye turned his face away in panic, raised his hands to cover his face and sobbed softly.

"Butler Zhao."

"Why is Miss Qingye here?"

"I, I just heard that Master Chen was still busy in the study late at night, so I stewed some chicken soup and sent it over."

Seeing her like this, Butler Zhao shook his head silently in his heart, it seemed that she was scolded by the adults.

He said in a low voice.

"Miss Qingye, you don't know that the adults have a rule not to eat at night. Except for tea, nothing else can be eaten at night."

"Besides, the young master often comes to the study to look for you. Miss, be careful and don't let the young master see you."

Aoba nodded gratefully.

"Thank you for the reminder, Butler Zhao. I'll go back first."

She had only taken a few steps when she heard Butler Zhao muttering softly.

"Eh? The lights are off. Why did you go to bed so early today? Don't you usually stay up until midnight?"

Hearing this, Qingye's mouth corners curled up slightly.

…

At midnight, in the woods on the mountain outside the city.

Cheng Shengxuan arrived on time.

"Hurry, hurry, have you brought any food? I'm starving."

As soon as they met, Chu Yuan eagerly asked him for food.

Cheng Shengxuan took out a small paper bag from the small pocket he carried with him.

"This is all we have in the kitchen."

As soon as Chu Yuan opened it, a sweet fragrance hit him in the face. He grabbed a small ball and put it in his mouth.

"tasty!"

"Speaking of which, where did you find these strange and delicious foods?"

Cheng Shengxuan glared at him and reached out to snatch the paper bag back.

Chu Yuan quickly protected it tightly.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask. Is that ok?"

Cheng Shengxuan couldn't bear to see him acting so useless.

"Let's get down to business. Is there any news about that person?"

Speaking of this, Chu Yuan felt a little discouraged. He grabbed a few popcorns, stuffed them into his mouth, and bit down hard.

"All I could find out was that the man had appeared near Qiling Mountain, and then disappeared."

Cheng Shengxuan lowered his eyes and thought.

"Qiling Mountain?"

The scope is indeed large, but if...

Could it be such a coincidence?

"What's the prince's name?"

A voice completely different from theirs suddenly sounded beside them.

"Business consultant."

"Who is it?!"

Chu Yuan's sharp eyes swept towards the location where the sound came from.

I felt secretly annoyed.

I was so focused on eating that I didn't even notice someone approaching.

If this gets out, how can he, the leader of the Dark Pavilion, save his face?

Cheng Shengxuan shook his head at him, then looked at the person who came.

"Is that you?"

"Gu Shang, Shang Gu..."

That's right, the person who came was Gu Shang, who had just received the badge and hurried out of the city.

Cheng Shengxuan stared at him closely.

"So you are the former prince of Muyuan Kingdom!"

"he?!"

Chu Yuan first walked closer and looked around Gu Shang.

In the moonlight, I could see his unshaven, weathered face and shouted in disbelief.

"You said that this unkempt and rough guy in front of me was once the crown prince of a country?!"

"Hey bro!"

Chu Yuan reached out and patted Gu Shang on the shoulder.

"What have you been through in these years?"

This guy is only 23 years old, right?

He looks even more vicissitudes than a middle-aged man with elderly parents and young children.

Gu Shang frowned, took two steps to the side with a look of disgust, and moved away from him.

This guy is really not shy. He is not familiar with him, but he starts to make moves right away. How weird!

He looked at Cheng Shengxuan.

"You are looking for me, do you want to cooperate with me?"

Cheng Shengxuan chuckled.

"You also saw today that the fifth prince of Muyuan Kingdom, one of the candidates for the next emperor of Muyuan Kingdom, found me."

"Why should I do something difficult and cooperate with a powerless former prince like you, who is already dead in everyone's eyes?"

Gu Shang clenched his fists tightly.

"Just because you help me return to Muyuan and take back everything that belongs to me, if I ascend the throne and become king..."

"The entire Muyuan will be the Cheng family's place to raise troops!"
