140　　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."

　　Bang!

　　"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?"

　　"Um."

　　"Let me see."

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

　　"Stop it, my 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 waste 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, songs, 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 force in Mianshui County. They do some gray business, reselling some rare herbs, antiques and 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 Guardians, Chen Jie has become well-known recently. Most of the top masters in Mianshui County are among the Thirteen Guardians.

　　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 technique is 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 putting a piece of clothing on him.

　　"Husband, what are you doing?"
