Chapter 329: Phoenix Palace, Two Daughters
Because of the victory in the war and the fact that they occupied Hexia, the Chen family prospered.
Around Tianhe County.
Suddenly, there were many more merchants.
However, for some reasons, Chen Deng issued some instructions. The caravans going to other counties remained the same as usual, but those coming to Tianhe County had an additional review procedure.
Not to mention, just by checking, many unprofessional spies were found.
However, even so, it is clear that many unknown elements have poured into Tianhe County.
But this is also something that cannot be helped, unless the Chen family does not intend to do business.
Eliminating the spies of low-level forces with insufficient skills and saving a lot of manpower for Longyuan is the limit of what Chen Deng can do.
This is not it.
In the private room of the restaurant.
There are two women of the White Clothes Clan eating together, carrying abacus and other things on their bodies, looking like ordinary businessmen.
As for the issue of women merchants, because the White Clothes Clan has always had a special structure and culture of women supporting men, many women are doing business outside, while men are mostly lazy at home taking care of children.
As for the high-ranking members of the White Clothes Clan, that was another story.
Both women had their heads wrapped in white cloth, leaving only their eyes and mouths exposed. They were dressed in white and covered tightly.
One woman looked around and reached out her hand to make a swipe. Suddenly, the whole room became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Then, as if she had confirmed something, she took off the white cloth covering her face, revealing her pretty face. On her head, a bird-shaped hairpin flashed by. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally she came in."
The other woman saw this and wanted to say something, but she put her hand down the next moment and also took off the white cloth. She didn't like this kind of mourning-like outfit. Although it was a little different from mourning, she was really uncomfortable with it, so it was better to take it off.
"Well, don't make a fuss. Honghu and his people should have come in as well."
"Besides Honghu? Which other lineages are there?"
"Dapeng and Chongming should have come in as well. I saw their marks outside the city."
"...Hurry up. These people are not easy to deal with."
"Well, but this is where the Chen family is. Their clan leader...if Guanghan Taiyin Palace and Yinming Palace are not wrong, he is a person in the Vision Realm..."
"I know, we are not here to rob, and you should also know that the clan leader of the Chen family has cultivated to the Vision Realm, and it is suspected that the technique is the highest technique of our palace!
If we don't find it back, our palace will sooner or later split."
"..."
The other woman didn't say anything else, but her expression was gloomy.
Their Luanniao clan is the main line of the Phoenix Palace now, but they can't suppress others. As she said, if this continues, the Phoenix Palace will sooner or later fall apart, and the time will not exceed 30 years.
Therefore, when they left the palace this time, their lineage had already discussed that they would bring back the Phoenix Map no matter what!
Now, there was no room for hesitation.
"Okay, then what should we do?"
"I heard that the head of the Chen family has an old mother who likes to pray to Buddha most on weekdays..."
"We can..."
Outside the door, there were clearly some people sneaking around, but they couldn't hear what they were saying.
And in Tianhe County, there were many seemingly normal people making small moves.
The only surprising thing was that the public security did not deteriorate because of this.
...
...
Time passed slowly.
Another five days.
Half a month had passed since Chen Nuo went into seclusion.
In the county, Chen Mansion.
Wang Qingxuan teased the seemingly cute golden silkworm baby in her hand, and from time to time she would feed it some copper, iron, gold and silver. However, the little thing, which was as thick as a thumb, ate these things easily, chewing gold and iron. Ordinary families might really not be able to afford it.
Today she did not take apprentices, nor did she distribute Gu Dan, nor did she study the perfection of Wan Gu Dan.
Because today is the half-moon day that Chen Nuo mentioned.
"Sister, these two days, mother is going to go to Qingliang Temple outside to pray for blessings. I can't get away. Are you free?" Ning Hongye came over.
She has been very busy these days. Unlike those spoiled people who enjoy a good life, she is a housekeeper. All the affairs in the mansion must be handled by her. And now that Chen Nuo is not here, some people from the clan will come to find her.
It's not those trivial matters, but it's about the division of the future of the family's children, the purchase of land, the profit of the clan property, and other bigger things.
Chen Nuo has delegated this power, and Ning Hongye also likes this feeling of being busy.
At this time, looking at Wang Qingxuan who seemed to have just woken up from a dream, Ning Hongye was stunned, and there was a hint of helplessness between his willow eyebrows.
Walking over, "Sister, my husband is just in seclusion, nothing is wrong. Even if it's not today, it won't be too far away. After all, cultivation can't accurately predict the time."
"Well, I'm just a little worried." Wang Qingxuan relaxed when she saw Ning Hongye, especially Ning Hongye's words, she believed them even more. After all, in the entire Chen family, Ning Hongye was the only one who practiced the true qi martial arts, and her cultivation was closest to Chen Nuo. In addition, it had been a long time, and she had a foundation of trust in Ning Hongye. Wang Qingxuan, who didn't know the difference, naturally chose to believe instinctively.
"Oh, sister, we are close to my husband, and we are his face. Outsiders will figure out my husband by observing our every move."
"If outsiders saw my sister's sad face, I'm afraid they would think..."
Wang Qingxuan suddenly woke up, took a few deep breaths, and looked at Ning Hongye, "It's true, my sister is confused."
"Sister said just now that mother is going to Qingliang Temple to pray?"
"Yes, mother may have been frightened by her husband's expedition these days, and she wanted to pray for her husband's safety."
"Okay, I don't have anything important to do recently, so just let me accompany my mother." Looking at Wang Qingxuan who had returned to normal, Ning Hongye breathed a sigh of relief, but with a faint smile on her face, she looked very indifferent. .
She does understand cultivation, but that doesn't mean she understands Chen Nuo's current state. Chen Nuo's current cultivation level has surpassed hers by far.
He said ten days and a half month, but now it is obviously beyond this limit.
Therefore, she actually didn’t know whether something happened or whether there was any problem.
But she couldn't show it, she even had to be calmer than usual.
Just like what she said to comfort Wang Qingxuan.
Now the family is big and the business is big.
With countless pairs of eyes staring at them, they must remain calm and act as normal.
This is all true.
As the head mistress and the head wife, she must shoulder the responsibility and not show weakness, otherwise she will only cause unnecessary trouble.
Even if Mrs. Chen is not afraid of these troubles now, Ning Hongye cannot tolerate causing these troubles because of herself. That is a denial of her ability.
These thoughts passed quickly.
Ning Hongye's posture became more and more calm, her face was calm, and she went to deal with the affairs calmly.
Wang Qingxuan also ran to the backyard to talk to the old lady about going to the Buddhist temple to pray.
…
…
Let’s not talk about the two women for now.
The key figure who caused this considerable storm, Chen Nuo, is currently in an important period of breakthrough.
In the deep underground chamber.
Under darkness.
The scorching temperature is rising, accompanied by an increasingly intense vibration.
Bang bang... bang bang... bang bang... bang bang...
This vibration is like an earthquake, like a pulsation, but it is more hidden, low and dull...
