Chapter 569 The Princess's Test
Night falls.
The atmosphere in Chen Mansion was dull.
What happened in Linjiang City during the day has obviously affected the Chen family.
Chen Junru was kidnapped by a group of men in black on the way to the execution ground. Although the Tianshen Sect was involved, many people still suspected that the Chen family was responsible.
After all, why did the Tianshen Sect kidnap Chen Junru without any problems?
Apart from colluding with the Chen family, I can't find any other reason.
After the incident happened, the Chen family was disgraced and the people were filled with indignation. If it hadn't been for the government to suppress and quell the people's grievances, the matter might not have ended so easily.
But even so, it still had a considerable impact on the Chen family.
The reputation of the Chen family may be completely wiped out in Linjiang City this time.
At this moment, the door of the Chen family was closed tightly, and the front door was deserted. The servants in the house had already kept silent and were cautious.
In the inner courtyard.
Chen Hongsheng, who was wearing a gray robe, stood in the yard, looking into the distance with gloomy eyes, silent.
Behind him, the housekeeper hurried over with the same solemn expression: "Master, there is a lot of trouble in the city now, and many people are coming to our Chen family. They suspect that the master has kidnapped the young master and asked him to hand him over..."
"Master, the situation is much more serious than imagined..."
Listening to the butler's report, Chen Hongsheng had no expression on his face. But there was a hint of haze in his eyes.
"How is the situation at Prince Lin's Mansion?"
After a while, he spoke expressionlessly.
"Over there at the palace..."
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "There is currently no movement at the palace."
"Nothing happened?"
Hearing this, Chen Hongsheng frowned: "He didn't react at all?"
The housekeeper lowered his head and said, "After His Royal Highness learned that the young master had been kidnapped, he took people back to the palace. After that, he never came out again."
"In the afternoon, the palace sent out some guards, but those rear guards left the city and headed north for unknown purposes..."
"All the way north?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Chen Hongsheng's eyes.
Where is Lin Jiangnian going when he sends people north?
"Keep an eye on those guards."
"yes."
"Apart from this, is there any other news in Prince Lin's Mansion?" Chen Hongsheng asked again.
The butler shook his head: "After the palace is closed, no one else comes in or out."
After hearing this, Chen Hongsheng not only did not relax at all, but his expression became more solemn.
Unusual!
The more this happened, the more he felt something was wrong.
Having fought against that kid several times, Chen Hongsheng knew that this kid should not be underestimated.
The more silent he was at this moment, the more uneasy he felt.
Junru was jailed today, no doubt a slap in the face of the government, and even more so in the face of his prince, Prince Lin.
How could he have no reaction under such circumstances?
Something's wrong!
Thinking of this, Chen Hongsheng's face became darker.
"Keep an eye on the palace and report to me immediately if there is any trouble."
"yes."
After the housekeeper left in a hurry, Chen Hongsheng stood there, frowning. After a while, he turned around and prepared to leave.
The next second, the air around him suddenly solidified.
For a moment, Chen Hongsheng's back felt numb, and the hairs all over his body stood up instantly. A dangerous aura enveloped him instantly.
His eyes and pupils shrank suddenly, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Master, be careful!"
In the night, a low and startled reminder sounded.
Immediately afterwards, four figures suddenly rushed out from the darkness in the courtyard and rose into the sky.
Four figures rushed towards one direction in the night sky at the same time.
"Who dares to break into Chen's house?!"
A low roar sounded with a warning sound.
Chen Hongsheng's eyes were cold and he looked into the air.
Someone actually dared to break into his Chen Mansion at night?
Do you really think that the Chen family is easy to bully?
But soon, Chen Hongsheng's expression changed.
In the night sky, the four masters guarding the courtyard were dispatched almost at the same time to capture the intruder who had hidden himself in the dark and forced his way into Chen's house.
But when the four people just approached, they suddenly felt that the aura suddenly disappeared.
It seemed like it disappeared out of thin air.
A shocking thought suddenly appeared in their minds!
No, I was fooled!
By the time they reacted, it was already too late.
The creepy coldness reappeared in the surrounding air.
"ah!"
"ah!"
Two sharp screams suddenly came from the sky.
The two nursing masters suddenly fell from the sky, and blood stained the sky red, falling like rain.
The two nursing masters fell heavily from the sky to the ground, vomiting blood, burdened by the beasts, covering their chests and looking in disbelief.
This scene made these nursing masters feel cold all over, and their expressions suddenly changed.
They didn't even find the enemy's shadow, and two of their companions were instantly severely injured and lost their combat effectiveness.
You know, as the masters of the Chen family's nursing home, their martial arts skills cannot be underestimated. Although he is not a top expert, he still has the strength of the third level.
When the four of them join forces, their strength cannot be underestimated.
But the scene before them made their hearts tremble.
The strength of this intruder... is unfathomable!
I'm afraid it's far above them!
"Master, go quickly!"
When they realized that the visitor was evil, the four hospital experts reacted instantly and quickly wanted the master to evacuate first.
Chen Hongsheng also realized something was wrong!
The intruder's strength was unfathomable. His expression changed slightly, and he turned around to evacuate first.
However, the next second, an icy chill suddenly hit him, and at the same time, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
"Move and die!"
The cold and biting voice made Chen Hongsheng's body stiffen suddenly.
He was frozen in place, not daring to move.
His expression suddenly changed, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Who is it?
Who broke into his Chen Mansion at night?
How could martial arts be so unfathomable? !
At this moment, countless thoughts suddenly appeared in Chen Hongsheng's mind... Is it Prince Lin? !
Did he send someone to take revenge? !
"master!"
When several hospital experts saw the master being held hostage, their expressions changed drastically. They were about to step forward to rescue him when they heard that cold tone.
Then, a figure in red appeared in their sight.
Stunning red!
This red dress in the middle of the night is particularly eye-catching.
It was obviously just a figure dressed in red, and his figure looked extremely weak. But standing there, she gave everyone an invisible aura of oppression.
Especially under the gauze, a pair of cold and piercing eyes made the remaining hospital guards dare not move!
"Your Excellency, who is your Excellency?!"
Chen Hongsheng did not dare to move. He forced himself to calm down and said in a low and hoarse voice, "I wonder who sent your Excellency here?"
"Come to my Chen's house, what's the point of doing this?!"
The voice behind him was still cold and without any emotion: "What do you think, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Hongsheng's body was still stiff, his head twisted slightly unnoticeably, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the man in red behind him.
Red clothes look like blood!
Although he was just standing there, doing nothing, Chen Hongsheng was cold all over and did not dare to move.
He had no doubt that if he moved even slightly, the other party could take his head off in an instant!
When he saw this figure in red, Chen Hongsheng was stunned for a moment.
"You, you are..."
Chen Hongsheng's eyes and pupils shrank suddenly, as if he suddenly remembered something, and his voice was low: "Oh my god, the saint of the Celestial Sect?!"
"It seems that Mr. Chen still knows me?"
The man in red stood there, staring at him expressionlessly.
But at this moment, Chen Hongsheng already understood something in his heart.
"Although Chen has never met the saint, he has heard about some of her deeds..."
Chen Hongsheng's eyelids twitched slightly. The red dress in front of him was exactly the same as the rumored saint of the Celestial Sect.
It was rumored that the divine saint liked the color red that day, and she usually wore red clothes to show off to others. Even though she was masked, the saint's natural beauty could still be seen.
More importantly, it was rumored that the saint's martial arts were unfathomable... In front of me, it all fit in!
This made Chen Hongsheng feel nervous... Has the real owner come to his door now?
Are you here to settle a score with him?
Thinking of this, Chen Hongsheng forced himself to calm down and said in a more respectful tone: "It turns out that the saint of the Tianshen Sect is here. Chen is not welcome from afar. I wonder what the saint is doing when she comes to my Chen family tonight?!"
The martial arts of the saint in front of her were extremely high, not much higher than what was rumored.
I even heard that the mysterious leader of the Tianshen Sect has even more unfathomable martial arts skills. If not necessary, Chen Hongsheng would naturally not want to offend such a person in the world!
Their family does not take these small martial arts sects seriously, but if there are top masters in these small martial arts sects. Once offended, you will get into a lot of trouble.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the aristocratic family would never offend easily.
Even possible, they are more willing to win over such a small sect. These people are a very good weapon for the aristocratic family to use to help them deal with troubles that are inconvenient for them to come forward.
"Master Chen, are you pretending to be stupid?"
The tone of the figure in red was cold, as if he was unhappy and impatient.
As soon as he finished speaking, the coldness in the air seemed to become stronger.
Chen Hongsheng only felt that his breathing was even suffocating at a certain moment, and his expression suddenly changed.
He could clearly feel that the red-clothed man in front of him looked at him with cold eyes, so cold that it seemed like he could kill him at any time.
This shocked Chen Hongsheng!
I have long heard that this saint of the Celestial God Sect is a cold-blooded and ruthless person who kills people like crazy. Now it seems that she is inseparable!
If it were someone from the Celestial God Sect, they would indeed be able to detect something amiss... The 'Saint Girl' in front of them is too cold!
The coldness is a bit different from the saint's usual behavior and habits!
But it was obvious that Chen Hongsheng had never met the saint and did not know much about the Tianshen Sect. The red dress she was wearing now, in his eyes, was someone from the Celestial God Sect who had come to investigate.
Thinking of this, Chen Hongsheng's heart sank slightly: "What happened today is indeed that Chen offended the saint and the Celestial Sect."
"Mr. Chen is willing to compensate the Saint and the Holy Sect for all losses, and I ask the Saint not to be careless. I, Chen, have absolutely no ill intentions towards the Celestial Sect. If the Saint does not dislike it, I, the Chen family, are willing to be on good terms with your Celestial Sect!"
Naturally, Chen Hongsheng would not say it clearly, even if he had never doubted the identity of the saint in front of him.
At the same time, some thoughts of wooing him arose in his heart.
If he could win over the saint and the leader, it would undoubtedly be even more powerful for him.
This Tianshen Sect already had a deep hatred against Prince Lin's Mansion. Even if the leader and the saint with unfathomable martial arts in front of him could not deal with Prince Lin's Mansion, their martial arts would still pose a great threat to them.
Li Piaomiao stared coldly at Chen Hongsheng in front of him. Although he didn't say it clearly, the truth was already clear.
Her eyes moved slightly and her tone was indifferent: "What can you compensate me for being taught by God?"
When Chen Hongsheng heard this, he suddenly felt something funny in his heart. He cupped his hands and said, "No matter how much the saint speaks, as long as our Chen family can do it, we will definitely not treat the saint and the Holy Cult badly."
Li Miaomiao said expressionlessly: "People pretending to be from our Tianshen Sect robbed prisoners on the streets, causing our Tianshen Sect to be framed for no reason. We were saddled with such a scapegoat and became a thorn in the eyes of the government."
"Master Chen, how do you think we should compensate?"
Chen Hongsheng's expression remained unchanged and he sneered in his heart.
Do you still need to slander the Celestial Religion?
It has long been a thorn in the side of Prince Lin’s Mansion!
What Chen Hongsheng didn't expect was that Prince Lin suddenly ordered the annihilation of the Tianshen Sect a year ago and almost uprooted the Tianshen Sect's stronghold in Linzhou.
It was originally thought that the Tianshen Sect had nowhere to settle in Linzhou and was already on its last legs. But he didn't expect that there were people from the Celestial God Sect here.
What happened during the day had just happened, and the saint from the Celestial Sect came to the door at night!
Chen Hongsheng was angry in his heart, but there was no change on his face: "I, the Chen family, will compensate for the slander the Tianshen Sect suffered today. If Chen remembers correctly, the Holy Sect was attacked and persecuted by Prince Lin's Mansion a year ago and suffered heavy losses. Now, in It is difficult to establish a foothold in Linzhou. If the Holy Lady is willing, our Chen family can provide a place for the Holy Sect to return to Linzhou, and we are willing to help the Holy Sect to develop and grow again... How about it?"
After Chen Hongsheng finished speaking, the figure in red in front of him fell silent.
As if thinking about something.
Chen Hongsheng's expression remained unchanged. He was confident that the conditions he proposed were already very generous.
This Tianshen Sect has long been a lost dog and has no foothold in Linzhou. For them, it is definitely a great temptation to allow them to regain a foothold in Linzhou.
And his Chen family happens to have such ability.
"I need to consider Mr. Chen's conditions."
After a while, Li Miaomiao's cold voice came, and she gave him a cold look: "Someone will contact you by then."
Chen Hongsheng's tone was still respectful: "Then Chen will just wait for the news of the saint."
In the dark night, a man dressed in red turned around and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
When the figure in red disappeared from the sky and the earth, the oppressive atmosphere around him disappeared.
Chen Hongsheng was relieved. When he came to his senses, he realized that he was already covered in cold sweat.
His face was slightly pale and gloomy.
"Master, are you okay?"
The guards around the hospital stepped forward and fell to their knees: "This subordinate is incompetent and failed to protect the master."
Chen Hongsheng's eyes were gloomy and he waved his hand: "It's not your fault, and you are no match."
"Send the injured down for treatment. You all should step back."
"yes."
The rest of the guards immediately retreated, but everyone in the courtyard was already frightened by this appearance.
At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came from the front yard.
A servant came in a hurry.
"Sir, someone is here to deliver a message to you!
"who?"
"The other party said he was from the Tianshen Sect and wanted to meet the master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Hongsheng was obviously stunned.
Celestial Cult?
Then as if he realized something, Chen Hongsheng suddenly turned his head to look at the defense line where the saint in red had just left, and his eyes suddenly changed.
"Who did you say you were?!"
