Peerless Xiaolong

Arriving at Chen Guo's home, Chu Yuan looked around.

Chen Guoze came to a corner of the yard. Since it was inconvenient for him to sit in a wheelchair, he motioned to Chu Yuan: "There is a door here. Open it."

"Door?"

Chu Yuan walked over quickly.

He knelt down and examined the ground carefully.

What surprised Chu Yuan was that there was a basement down here.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan picked up an iron catalpa and dug it out quickly.

About ten minutes later, the door Chen Guo mentioned appeared in front of Chu Yuan.

It looked like it hadn't been opened for a long time.

This is an iron door that covers the entrance to the basement. The door is so rusted that it is almost integrated with the earth.

Chu Yuan used his arms to lift the door directly.

The entrance to a secret basement appeared in front of Chu Yuan.

"Mr. Chen, you are quite clever. You dug a basement here. When did it happen?" Chu Yuan clapped his hands and said to Chen Guo.

Chen Guo smiled and handed Chu Yuan a flashlight.

This basement slopes down at an angle of [-] degrees, but the construction is incomplete, and it exudes a damp smell.

Chu Yuan turned on the flashlight and pushed Chen Guo's wheelchair into the basement.

The entrance is opened, sunlight shines into the basement, and the outline of the entire basement can be roughly seen.

This basement is not big, about eighty square meters.

However, when Chu Yuan brought Chen Guo to the basement, he found that there was a spiritual altar with spiritual tablets all on it.

This place is like a smaller version of Cao's ancestral hall.

Chu Yuan let go of Chen Guo's wheelchair and looked at the spiritual tablets in front of him with his flashlight.

Most of these spiritual tablets belong to the Cao family.

However, Chu Yuan saw another spiritual position among the spiritual positions, that of the Chen family.

"Mr. Chen, if I remember correctly, you should be a member of Cao Yuansheng's family. It's not surprising that you have Cao's spiritual status here."

"But why is Chen's spiritual tablet placed here?" Chu Yuan was a little surprised and turned to look at Chen Guo.

Chen Guo smiled faintly: "There is nothing surprising. According to our ancestors, the Chen family in Yannan and the Cao family in He County are all one family for four generations."

Chu Yuan was extremely surprised: "You and the Chen family are the same family? Does that mean that my mother, Chen Qiu, is also a descendant of your family?"

Chen Guo pushed his wheelchair to the spiritual throne.

"The Chen family in Yannan, the Cao family in Hexian County, and the Chen family in Rongcheng were all originally named Chen. Our separation started fifty years ago," Chen Guo replied.

Chu Yuan sat down cross-legged on the ground.

He felt funny: "Do you know Chen Changlong, Chen Changfeng, Chen Changye, Chen Changkong?"

Chen Guo nodded heavily: "Yes, how much do you know about them?"

Chen Guo asked Chu Yuan in return.

"At that time, there was an earthquake in Yannan in the northwest, and then there were mudslides. Many people fled to the southeast. Among them, my grandfathers Chen Changye and Chen Changkong fled to the southeast."

Chu Yuan only knew this, and this was what he had found out during this period of time.

Chen Guoze shook his head: "What you know is not entirely correct. In fact, they left not entirely to escape, but to hide!"

"hide?"

Chu Yuan frowned: "What are you hiding?"

Chen Guo held his breath and said, "Someone wanted to kill them. Unfortunately, Chen Changye hid until the end and was killed. Of this group, only Chen Changkong and Chen Changlong survived."

"Chen Changfeng and your grandfather Chen Changye were both killed more than [-] years ago."

Chu Yuan somewhat understood what Chen Guo meant.

Did Chen Changye come to the southeast to avoid being hunted?

"Who wants to kill him?" Chu Yuan asked.

"The Chen family at that time was very powerful in the old days. Our ancestors passed down something. This thing is now hidden underground in the Cao family's ancestral hall." Chen Guodao.

Chu Yuan didn't quite understand.

Chen Guo chuckled: "You know that Cao Bao is Cao Yuansheng's son, but do you know whose son Cao Yuansheng is?"

"Chen Changfeng, yes, Cao Yuansheng is Chen Changkong's son. The reason why they changed their surname from Chen to Cao is to avoid it."

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Chu Yuan shook his head.

Chen Guoze said again: "Let me tell you this, what you know is that Chen Changye, Chen Changkong, and Chen Changfeng fled from Yannan and came to the southeast."

"But in fact, Beiwang Mountain is their hometown. Chen Changfeng, Chen Changlong, Chen Changye and Chen Changkong are brothers."

"What did you say?" Chu Yuan was slightly startled.

Are these four people brothers?

Chen Changkong was killed by Chu Yuan.

Chen Changlong is in Yannan, and the Chen clan is currently taken over by Chen Jiu.

Chen Changye was Chu Yuan's grandfather and was killed by Cao Bao.

Chen Changfeng is Cao Yuansheng's father, which means that he is Cao Bao's grandfather.

What Chu Yuan knew before was what Chen Changlong told him, that he and Chen Changye were just cousins.

Now, they are brothers again?

"I don't know what Chen Changlong said to you, but what I'm telling you now is the truth."

Chu Yuan held his forehead with one hand and pondered for a while: "Mr. Chen, if the four of them are brothers, then who are you?"

Chen Guo replied: "I used to be a housekeeper of the Chen family. Chen Changfeng was kind to me and gave me the surname Chen. Later, I changed it to Cao with them. After the Cao family was wiped out, I changed it back to Cao in order to hide others' eyes. The surname is Chen."

"In other words, this side of Beiwang Mountain is the Chen family's ancestral home. At that time, Chen Changye, Chen Changlong and Chen Changkong left with their families, and only Chen Changfeng stayed?" Chu Yuan asked rhetorically.

"Yes, but later on, Chen Changfeng died. Judging from what I said, the Cao Bao you are dealing with now and your mother are still cousins."

"But he killed Chen Changye's family." Chu Yuan looked at Chen Guo.

"Listen to me slowly. In fact, this Cao Bao is not that Cao Bao. Cao Bao, formerly known as Cao Wenyuan, was a very outstanding and kind-hearted young man before he was eighteen years old."

"After he turned eighteen, he seemed to have changed. Do you know why?" Chen Guo asked.

Chu Yuan shook his head.

Chen Guo said with a smile: "Because Cao Wenyuan died when he was eighteen years old, and the person he is now is not Cao Wenyuan."

"what?"

Chu Yuan stood up, his face full of shock.

Cao Bao is not Cao Bao?

The real Cao Bao died at the age of eighteen?

Bai Yueqin was forced by Cao Bao, and later Zhang Taifu appeared.

All these things made Chu Yuan a little confused and looked at Chen Guo in shock.

Chen Guo said: "It's a pity that I knew it too late. After the Cao family was destroyed, I discovered that Wenyuan had been replaced. The current Cao Wenyuan killed the previous Wenyuan and changed his appearance. Became what he was.”
