Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 197

"Xie Zizi is dead?"

It was already noon the next day when Chen Jin heard the news.

The person who came to report the news was Su Yuanchong, and he also wanted to invite Chen Jin to the Su family's mansion for dinner in the evening to agree on a wedding date.

Chen Jin asked again: "How did he die? Where did he die?"

Su Yuanchong repeated what he had learned.

Next to him, Gu Leyou asked: "What kind of river is Panlong River? The name is quite majestic. Does it specifically mean that there are dragons there? Or does it mean that dragons have to be coiled there?"

Su Yuanchong: "..."

San Ran said: "I don't know about this... I came to report this because I'm worried that Xie's side will cause trouble for you. It's best to be prepared in advance."

Gu Leyou said in surprise: "According to the circumstances of Xie Zizi's death, it is clear that he encountered something strange. What does it have to do with us?"

Su Yuanchong sighed: "Mr. Xie is quite defensive, and Xie Zizi is a child favored by the elders in the family. Before his accident, he had a conflict with Senior Gu, and all his guards were injured. From the position of the other party, It is inevitable that the two things will be connected and make a big fuss."

Gu Leyou curled his lips: "That's just using the topic to get angry."

Su Yuanchong said hurriedly: "But Chen Jieyuan and Senior Gu don't have to worry too much. This is Zhongzhou after all, and my Su family will not let the other party do anything wrong."

Gu Leyou thought to himself: I'm not worried at all...

After reporting the news, Su Yuanchong said goodbye and left.

Gu Leyou said: "Scholar, when we came here, we saw that Zhongzhou was very good. It is rare to live and work in peace and contentment. We have never seen even bandits and bandits."

Chen Jin said: "Zhongzhou is so big, it's normal for things to happen in some places... When we came, we mainly took the official road, so it naturally seemed more stable."

"That's true."

Gu Leyou said with a smile: "According to Xie Zizi's death, I think it's most likely that he was hit by an illusion, and was exhausted by the demons, and became a romantic ghost. How about I go investigate?"

Chen Jin glanced at him: "Do you want to investigate the truth, or do you want to meet the monster?"

"The two don't conflict."

"I don't think this matter is simple. It may involve Xie's business. If you get involved, it may be even more difficult to explain clearly. Besides, Xie Zizi is a strong martial artist, and even he is easy to follow. Then The demon's strength is extraordinary and difficult to deal with."

Gu Leyou said "Oh": "That's alright, then I won't meddle in other people's business and leave it to the government to deal with the headache. I don't know how strong the patrol department in Zhongzhou is, but I guess it won't be much better like this."

The patrol department failed in the struggle with the inner factory, and the outcome was already doomed.

In the evening, Chen Jin and Gu Leyou went to the Su family's mansion for a banquet.

This time, Gu Leyou was also on the invitation list. He was not polite when he came to the table as a guest. He had to eat and drink when he should.

At a banquet of a wealthy family, rules and etiquette are important, and no words are spoken at the banquet.

The most important words are left to be spoken while drinking tea after meals.

The tea is good tea, and the tea is fragrant.

The Su brothers sat at the top, while Chen Jin and Gu Leyou sat at the bottom.

"October 26? I have no problem with it, as long as it's an auspicious day."

"The day when you go to Beijing for the exam will be very cold."

Chen Jin smiled and said: "Although I am from the south, I practice martial arts to strengthen my body, but I am not afraid of the cold."

Su Xiaoming and Su Xiaocheng looked at each other and exchanged some glances.

Over the past few days, Chen Jin's physical condition has indeed improved at a speed visible to the naked eye: his face is rosy, he is full of energy, and he has a certain temperament and demeanor in his every move.

This appearance is completely different from when he first arrived in Zhongzhou.

How long has it been since?

Or is it that the effect of that medicinal diet is so great?
But since Chen Jin agreed to this date, it was set.

……

Three days later, a group of people galloped into Zhongzhou from the southwest, with a flag flying between the groups and a big "Thank you" written on it.

These are Xie's men and horses, with a fierce aura, and soft armor can be seen under their clothes.

They came to the city and settled in their own courtyard.

A well-known family like this would own real estate and villas in various state capitals, which they used as their bases.If it develops well, it will spread throughout the industry.

An hour later, several horses came to the Su family's mansion. The leading man was more than seven feet tall and had extremely strong muscles. He was riding on a horse, and he was even better than a strong horse sitting down. He asked people to give the horse a squeeze. Be sweaty, don't be overwhelmed.

The strong men came with the crowd, stopped outside the Jinshi Archway, took a look, and finally dismounted to show respect.

"It turns out that Third Master Xie came in person, and Su was disrespectful because he was far away from us."

The person who came out was Su Xiaocheng.

As the head of the family, Su Xiaoming did not show up. Mainly because of the special nature of the situation, he asked Su Xiaocheng to come out first to talk and get some information.Whatever happens then, there will be room for change.

Third Master Xie named him with the character "bin" in his name and returned the greeting with cupped fists: "I have met Second Master Su."

After exchanging greetings, the two went to the hall to divide the guests and hosts into seats.

Xie Bin said angrily: "Second Master Su, our family is a martial arts practitioner. We come straight to the point and tell the truth. My nephew had an accident in Zhongzhou. What happened?"

Su Xiaocheng frowned: "You have confused me by asking questions like this. I am idle at home and do not work in the yamen. I am not responsible for supervising the affairs in the city, so what happened and how? Do you know? Besides, nephew Zi Zi Xian has always been free to do things for others, so I can’t even control him."

"But I heard that my nephew has taken a liking to Fourth Master Su's daughter and wants to marry him, but you don't agree..."

"Wait a minute."

Su Xiaocheng waved his hand: "Mr. Xie, there is a misunderstanding. It's not that we don't agree, but that we simply can't agree. It's all because the fourth child of my family had already betrothed his daughter to someone else and the betrothal letter was written. Under this situation, How can you marry another family again? Isn’t it a joke for one girl to marry twice?"

Xie Bin said solemnly: "But because of this matter, my nephew had a conflict with Chen Jieyuan's coachman. This is a fact after all."

Su Xiaocheng said calmly: "It's just a sparring exercise. You martial arts practitioners, this kind of thing is very common."

Xie Bin said: "It's normal to have a discussion, but after the discussion, my nephew died, which is not normal."

"What nonsense are you talking about? First of all, Xie Zizi himself didn't end up fighting. Secondly, it has been a long time since the sparring. The two things should not be confused at all."

"No matter what, I must meet Chen Jieyuan and his coachman. I came to visit today just to let them know, so as not to say that Mr. Xie doesn't understand etiquette."

Su Xiaocheng said: "What's the use of going to see them? It's better to spend more time and go to Panlong River to find out the truth."

Xie Bin said: "I, Mr. Xie, always pay attention to cause and effect when doing things. Anyone who is suspected must be investigated. But don't worry, Chen Jieyuan is a famous official, and I won't do anything to him. Farewell." "

It really comes and goes like the wind, neat and tidy.

Looking at his back, Su Xiaocheng's face was a little solemn. He knew that Mr. Xie's style was known as "Martial Madness", and when his temper got angry, he really acted like a madman.

Although Chen Jin is Xin Ke Jieyuan and has a great reputation, which is like a talisman, he should be fine. However, to be cautious, Su Xiaocheng still sent his son out to keep an eye on him and report back in time if something happened.

Xie Bin left Su's mansion, went outside, got on his horse, and led his men to the other courtyard where Chen Jin lived.

A lot of information was already known before coming here.

He did not think that Chen Jin was related to Xie Zizi's death, which was clear, but it was also true that Gu Leyou knocked down Xie Zizi's bodyguard.

Xie's people have been bullied, and Xie Bin has the responsibility to restore the situation. It's that simple.Gu Leyou opened the door, saw the menacing crowd, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Master Xie, the third child of the Xie family, Xie Bin."

"Oh, what's the matter with you?"

Xie Bin sneered: "Why do you pretend to be confused?"

Gu Leyou smiled and said: "You actually saw it, please, please come in!"

Xie Bin asked his subordinates to guard the door and walked in confidently.

Su Yuanchong was also outside, so he couldn't just barge in. He was a little anxious, fearing that there would be a fight in the house and the commotion would get out of hand.

Xie Bin is inconvenienced and will attack immediately, so he can go in and take a look first.

Walking into the yard, you can see several clumps of bamboos with green leaves and full of vitality.

Gu Leyou said: "My son is not here, so I won't invite you into the hall, just sit outside."

There are stone chairs and tables in the yard, but there is nothing on the tables.

Gu Leyou sat on one side, and Xie Bin sat on the other side.

Xie Bin sat upright, straight to the point: "I heard that Your Excellency has a good background. He is a cultivator and ranger with extraordinary martial arts. I came today because I want to ask for advice."

Gu Leyou said calmly: "So that's how it is... I see Xie Sanye's blood is steaming, he must have reached the third level of cultivation, it seems that I have to use a sword today."

With that said, he took off the Red Moon Sword on his back and took off the cloth strips on it, revealing the ancient sword box.

Xie Bin's eyes narrowed when he saw it.

The so-called experts know if there is one as soon as they make a move, but sometimes they don't need to make a move, just look at the opponent's weapon to know if it is there.

"It takes ten years to sharpen a sword and no one knows it, but once the sword is released, it shocks the world! Sword, sword, it's a injustice for you to hide here and never see the light of day."

Gu Leyou murmured, with a desolate expression, like a lonely master.

One hand began to draw the sword, and suddenly the cold front dazzled.

call!
Suddenly a wind blew, causing the bamboos all around to sway. The bamboo leaves were like sword blades, with a sudden momentum.

In an instant, Xie Bin felt chills all over his body. He felt like he was being oppressed by a sharp blade, and his heart was shaken.

Gu Leyou glanced at him and said slowly: "Mr. Xie, the name of my sword is 'Red Moon'. Red means blood. You will see blood when you take it out of the sheath. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

"Wait a minute!"

Xie Bin couldn't care about anything at the moment and shouted in a deep voice.

Gu Leyou's hand to draw the sword slowed down and stopped there. The half of the drawn sword was wrapped in red threads, mysterious and cold.

This is a magic sword!
Xie Bin took a breath: "Gu Jianxia, ​​you misunderstood. What I said about 'asking for advice' is actually my name."

Gu Leyou said calmly: "What's the name? It's just a false name, just like the floating clouds in the sky."

Xie Bin looked at him, as if he wanted to see some traces, and finally turned it into a sentence: "Gu Jianxia, ​​today's matter, I was reckless, I have bothered you so much, please leave."

He turned around and left, fearing that Gu Leyou would leave him behind.

It wasn't that he didn't dare to fight Gu Leyou, but he felt it was unnecessary. At that moment, he really felt Gu Leyou's determination to cut off people's heads with his sword out of its sheath, and his kendo spirit of disregarding death.

Fighting against such an opponent is not a discussion or a consultation, but a life and death duel.

However, Xie Bin's original intention of coming to the door was just to teach Gu Leyou a lesson.

If this leads to a life-and-death confrontation, what would it be like?

No matter who wins or loses in the end, who lives or dies, the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, Xie Bin made a decisive decision, called a stop in time, and left quickly.

"Do you want to break in?"

Su Yuanchong was already waiting impatiently outside. The door rang, and Xie Bin came out unexpectedly. His face was calm, and there was no clue. He mounted his horse, whipped his whip, and shouted: "Let's go!"

Got it!
Gone like lightning.

Su Yuanchong was a little confused when he saw this scene. He didn't know what was going on. He couldn't bear it anymore and knocked on the door.

Gu Leyou opened the door and saw him. He was surprised and said, "Master Su, why are you here?"

"I was afraid something would happen, so I came to take a look."

"Haha, what can happen?"

Su Yuanchong asked: "Senior Gu, can you tell me what you did to Mr. Xie to make him leave?"

Gu Leyou spread his hands and said, "I just tried to reason with him."

"Reasonable?"

Su Yuanchong found it incomprehensible. He didn't think Xie Bin was a reasonable person.

Gu Leyou didn't explain much: "There's nothing else, so I'll close the door."

Crack!

Su Yuanchong was rejected, but he was not angry and went back to report.

But Gu Leyou walked back and saw Chen Jin already sitting on the stone chair under Xiuzhu. Tea and snacks were placed on the stone table:

"Scholar, how did my performance go?"

Chen Jin smiled and said: "It's a little exaggerated, but overall it's pretty good. It scared people away."

Gu Leyou beamed: "Speaking of which, this is my first time doing this kind of thing. It turns out that the feeling of a fox pretending to be a tiger is so good. It's even better than pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger."

It is true that his swordsmanship has made great progress, but he still lacks a lot of fire to reach the point where he draws his sword out of its sheath and is full of murderous aura.

Therefore, when he drew his sword earlier, whether it was Xiuzhu's response or the chill he gave Xie Bin, it was Chen Jin who was behind it.

Chen Jin hid in the dark, coordinated with Gu Leyou's words, and then activated his sword, which was equivalent to adding special effects to the lines and background.

But this special effect is not fake, it can be fake, and if necessary, it will become real immediately.

Switching between true and false is easy, depending on the scene.

This scene was just to send Xie Bin away in the simplest way.

Chen Jin didn't want to be troublesome or exposed. His goal in coming to Zhongzhou was actually very simple, just to marry Su Jin, that's all.

Everything else is extraneous.

Wouldn't it be inexplicable if he and the Xie family of Changzhou were at odds with each other and started fighting?
Therefore, just use some means to drive people away.

I believe that after seeing Gu Leyou's "kendo", Xie Bin will have no more ideas.
