Hades is up to something

Chu Yunchen and the others rushed to the old lady's room immediately after getting the news, and saw the old lady lying on the bed with a peaceful expression, and the old mother kneeling beside her and sobbing softly.

Chu He knelt on the bedside, holding his mother's hand tremblingly without saying a word. Thinking of what his mother said to him last night, Chu He finally took a look at his mother, stood up, and stood by his mother's bed with his hands behind his back, looking at her. Looking at the slightly raised corners of the old man's mouth, his eyes are firm.

The two sons kneeling on the bed glanced at their father's straight back, and knew that his father had plans, so they clenched their fists and stood up.

He Wenyuan just looked at the few people inside the door from a distance, neither stepped forward nor left.Recalling the wisdom of the old man, he can only be inferior.Yesterday was obviously the first time the two met, the old lady not only saw that he was very human, but also explained the current predicament of the Chu family clearly in a few words.

Sure enough, he is an old man who married into the general's mansion, and he is not inferior to his age at all.

However, what surprised him even more was that the old lady seemed to have sensed something, and she was straightforward with him.

"I know I'm old, so I'm afraid I can't help my son. I can only relieve him of the burden and find an excuse. I don't know if you can help, Wen Yuan."

He Wenyuan was silent for a moment, then nodded, and the old man just smiled gratifiedly.

Flipping through the book of life and death last night, he intuitively felt for the first time that he was actually the king of Hades who controlled the life and death of mortals, and this stroke was a life.

He Wenyuan closed his eyes, turned around and left the place silently, and the suppressed crying of several people in the room had nothing to do with him.

Back in his guest room, He Wenyuan ordered the ghost messenger to bring him a few jugs of wine from the underworld for the first time, and then drank it sullenly.Yuan'er, who was lying on the bed to digest, felt that he was in a bad mood, stuck out her tongue, and asked cautiously: "What's wrong, cousin?"

With the previous incident, He Wenyuan forbade Yuan'er to call him by his first name, but instead called him "cousin", pretending to be a distant relative.

"It's okay, just lie down and digest food these few days, don't go out outside."

He Wenyuan sipped his wine, not wanting to talk much.The wine in the underworld is bleak and cold, and after one sip, it is cold from the inside out, and then a ball of fire rises from the belly. Although I feel the heat in the belly, the ends of the hair are covered with frost.

Although Little Flower Snake didn't know what happened in the Chu Mansion and wanted to replace the previously festive red lanterns with white paper lanterns, she still obeyed He Wenyuan's words and lay obediently in the guest room, wanting to go up to have a sip of the wine.But in just a short while, He Wenyuan drank up the two jugs of wine, and she didn't taste a drop.Yuan'er stuck out her tongue, the snake ate one meal for five days, and she lay back on the bed feeling the belly of five tables full of delicious food at the birthday banquet that day.

Soon, the news of Mrs. Chu's death spread into the palace, and Chu He immediately went to the palace to report to the emperor, saying that Chu Yang needed to keep mourning for Mrs. Chu for three years, so naturally he would not be able to enter the harem again. The old lady's body was brought back to the ancestral grave for burial.The emperor was naturally unwilling, but at any rate, Chu He was using an excuse on the surface. Since ancient times, the word filial piety has been the name, and he didn't want to ruin his reputation, so he dragged the matter on.

In the blink of an eye, it was the first seven days of the old lady. Many officials came to mourn, and He Wenyuan stood in the mourning line and kept rubbing his temples.He was depressed that day, drank two pots of "Dihuahong" in one breath, and became unconscious that night. Now seven days have passed, and his hangover feeling has not faded away.

Suddenly, a wave of evil energy rushed into his senses, flashed by, and the maliciousness that seemed familiar was also transmitted to his mind along with the evil energy.He Wenyuan was startled, and immediately raised his eyes to look around. There were many people present, and the one who had just finished worshiping was Wu Youde, the prime minister of the dynasty, Mrs. Chu's father, and behind him was a boy who looked like a servant.The evil spirit just now seemed to come from him.

He Wenyuan narrowed his eyes, thinking about it.

The boy seemed to have sensed that someone was looking at him, so he quietly raised his head to take a look, then immediately lowered his head, covering the corners of his slightly raised lips.

Sure enough, they are from the Chu family.

It was night, and the study in the Chu Mansion was brightly lit. This time, not only Chu Lingtian and Chu Yunchen were present, but even Chu Yang, who had little contact with military affairs, was called into the room by Chu He.

"Father, eldest brother, second brother."

Chu Yunchen looked at his third younger brother with a slightly nervous expression, and sighed in his heart.His third half-brother was in poor health since he was a child, and his mother, Chu Wu, guarded and stopped him, making him the first child of the Chu family who had never been in a military camp.In order to train him, his father had to invite the master to his home.Fortunately, he still has some talent in martial arts. After a few years, the third brother's body has become much healthier, and the weapons in his hands are dancing well.

This time the father called all three younger brothers to the study, and it seemed that he planned to take the opportunity of grandma's funeral to transfer the Chu family.

"Father, grandma's funeral is approaching, and the emperor hasn't agreed to it yet, so I'm afraid he doesn't want to let her go."

Hearing what Chu Lingtian said, Chu He also had the same thought in his heart, and he also thought that although the funeral procession could bring most of the family members, the family's property still couldn't be moved all at once.

"Father, since the emperor is unwilling to let him go, I'm afraid it's because of me. Why don't you let me stay and take care of the rest of Beijing's affairs." Chu Yang, who was standing aside, thought and thought, and put forward his own idea.He has never been in the army, nor has he ever been on the battlefield with the soldiers of the Chu family army. Even if he goes to the barracks as a soldier, he will not be able to convince the crowd. Why don't he stay in the capital and find a way to kill as many soldiers as possible? The family wealth is transported out of the city.

"No."

Chu He, who was sitting at the top, vetoed it without even thinking about it.

Chu Yunchen saw that everyone was frowning, took a step forward, and said: "If I stay, the emperor has no idea about me. I can also help with the affairs of Beijing and China. The third brother will leave with his father and elder brother." , I will find a way to reconcile with you after finishing the follow-up matters."

Chu Lingtian, who had been standing on the side without saying a word, thought of something, and agreed with Chu Yunchen's proposal.Chu He thought that Chu Yunchen was indeed the best candidate compared to keeping Chu Yang who had no actual combat experience, so he had no choice but to agree.

After discussing the countermeasures for facing the saint tomorrow morning, several people left the study one after another. Chu Lingtian and Chu Yunchen left together. On the way, he kept asking about He Wenyuan.

"Yun Chen, did your friend ever say how old he is?"

"Never mentioned it."

"Is there any advantage in that?"

Chu Yunchen was about to say no, when he suddenly remembered He Wenyuan's performance in the abandoned house at the border, so he told his brother about it in detail.

When Chu Lingtian heard this, his heart was agitated. He held his second brother's shoulders with both hands, and said solemnly: "Second brother, remember to keep your friend by your side, and don't let him leave."

Chu Yunchen heard it strangely, but he nodded in agreement. After hearing what his elder brother said, he remembered that that person might leave.During the days when they came back to Beijing, the two met and only talked a few words. He didn't mention it, and the man didn't mention that he would leave. Both of them seemed to avoid this topic on purpose.

I don't know what that person is doing now.

"Ah!"

He Wenyuan, who was missed, sneezed moderately. He rubbed his nose, not feeling strange in his heart. Anyway, in the past when he was in the underworld, people occasionally talked about him behind his back, and it was just a few sneezes. He didn't care about those mortals anymore.

"Yuan'er, how's it going?" Seeing the little snake sneaking into the room, he took another sip of the tea in his hand and asked.

"Cousin, Yuan'er found that breath!"

"Tell me."

"Yesterday, Yuan'er followed the prime minister and the boy all the way into the palace, and didn't notice the aura all the way. However, when the two entered the back garden and saw the emperor, Yuan'er felt the aura surrounding him again. The body of a young man next to the emperor. Yuan'er didn't dare to go forward, the breath pinched Yuan'er so she couldn't breathe, so Yuan'er came back."

He Wenyuan stroked his chin, thinking that it was true, this monster probably didn’t leak its breath when it was attached to a person, but only when it moved its body and made some movements, the breath would leak out.To be able to do this, I am afraid that there are monsters with more than a thousand years of Taoism.

It seems that if the Chu family moves now, he can only part ways with them temporarily. It is always bad to keep a thousand-year-old monster in the mortal world.Glancing at the little snake demon sitting on the side unconsciously, He Wenyuan thought to himself, maybe he can keep Yuan'er by Chu Yunchen's side, and if something happens to that person, he can inform him as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, He Wenyuan looked at Xiaohuashe with a smile, and said, "Yuan'er, how about I find you something to do?"

Yuan'er instinctively felt that the fairy's smiling face was a bit pervasive today, so she bit the bullet and didn't agree directly: "Cousin, tell me first."
