Chapter 269 Trading Martial Arts Secrets
After confirming that the person coming was Chu Tang, Chen Suming was so excited that he felt like he had a thousand words to say.
However, as soon as she lowered her head and saw her state clearly, her cheeks could not help but glow, and a feeling of shame and heat arose from the soles of her feet and rushed to her face.
At this time, her hair was messy, and she only had a thin quilt covering her body, and even thinner pajamas underneath.
"Chu...can you go out first?" Chen Suming said shyly and anxiously.
Chu Tang also noticed the awkward situation between the two of them. He hurriedly exited the inner bedroom with a few ouch, crossed the curtain, and waited in the outer room.
During this period, I could only hear the rustling sound of clothes coming from inside.
The room was still dark, and neither of them dared to say anything, let alone light a lamp.
After a while, the sound of the curtain lifting was heard, and Chen Suming came out.
At this time, she was fully dressed and ready to meet people.
When walking towards Chu Tang, she turned her head and looked at the bed where the maids were serving. She didn't see any movement from them, so she couldn't help but ask softly: "Chu... Squad leader Chu, are they okay?"
"Chu tapped their acupuncture points and they just fell asleep. Don't worry, Ms. Chen, they will recover on their own early tomorrow morning. There will be no abnormalities. They will just treat it as a sleep." Chu Tang explained clearly in detail. After all, the two of them met The conversation that came down cannot be known to outsiders.
Chen Suming came to Chu Tang in the dark, raised his head, his bright eyes flashed in the night, and asked directly: "Boss Chu, why did you come back to Qingcheng? Are you okay?"
Chu Tang naturally knew that she was asking about being chased by Nan Qinghou, so he couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Miss Chen, does it look like something is wrong with Mr. Chu?"
Chen Suming was still a little anxious: "Then you shouldn't come to Qingcheng at this time. There are documents wanted for you everywhere!"
Chu Tang heard her concern and couldn't help but be slightly moved.
After all, the two of them met in a strange state at this time - it was late at night, and he, a grown man, came to the boudoir of a Yunying unmarried woman in the dark. It was not serious at all.
But Chen Suming didn't mind this matter. Instead, he cared about his safety first. The friendship was really hard to describe.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Tang forced himself to calm down. He fixed his eyes on the worried face of Chen Suming and said with emotion: "Miss Chen, if possible, Chu Tang really doesn't want to see you here and now. Yes, it’s just..."
"Just what?" Chen Suming asked when he saw Chu Tang paused.
Chu Tang pondered for a while and asked: "Miss Chen, you told Mr. Chu before that you were willing to share clues about the treasure of Prince Liang in your family. Is this still valid now?"
Liang Wang’s treasure!
When Chen Suming heard this, he trembled all over and raised his head suddenly. He didn't care whether he could see Chu Tang's expression in the darkness, but just stared at his face faintly.
Chu Tang was able to see at night, but her biting gaze made her heart tremble. He said bravely: "Miss Chen, to tell you the truth, Chu is here tonight for clues about the treasure of King Liang owned by your Chen family. !”
Chen Suming shifted his gaze from Chu Tang's face, lowered his head, and then sighed for a long time and said, "Boss Chu, are you walking with those people now?"
Chu Tang was shocked. Such a smart girl, she immediately thought of why he came and who he came for.
"Yes." Chu Tang responded, "They rescued Chu from Nan Qinghou..."
"I heard about it!" Chen Suming interrupted Chu Tang sharply, and continued under the latter's astonished gaze, "For more than a month, news about you has been coming from time to time... To be precise, everyone They all paid attention to the movements of Nan Qinghou.
"When I heard that Nan Qinghou mobilized most of Liangzhou's forces to encircle and suppress you, I was still worried about you, afraid of you... Later, I heard that they surrounded you on a mountain and almost captured you. Some mysterious people rescued you. When I heard that you were rescued and Marquis Nanqing returned home in vain, I was happy for you again.
"It's just that what I didn't expect was that the people who saved you were the same people who destroyed my whole family! Do you think I hate them, or should I thank them?"
At the end of her speech, her tone was filled with anger.
"Miss Chen..." Chu Tang didn't know how to comfort her and was at a loss.
Fortunately, Chen Suming adjusted quickly and regained his composure. He quietly asked Chu Tang: "I just want to know, did Team Leader Chu volunteer to come to me, or did they ask for it?"
Chu Tang was stunned: "Is there any difference?"
Chen Suming suddenly laughed inexplicably: "Yes, is there a difference? If they asked, Leader Chu, you have to come to repay the favor of saving my life... If you come on your own initiative, is it because you are afraid that they will hurt me, or is it because you are afraid that they will hurt me? Eager to make contributions?"
Chu Tang could only remain silent, saying that neither of them was good.
"But, I know that Captain Chu is not such a person!" Chen Suming raised his head and looked at Chu Tang, "On the way to Qingcheng, I was just a lost dog and a weak woman. Those bodyguards are no match for you, Captain Chu. If you were coveting any clues about Prince Liang's treasure at that time, you could have attacked me long ago, there is no need to wait until now."
Chu Tang was dumbfounded, feeling that what you said made sense, but I was speechless.
The woman in front of me is really putting on a show for herself!
He really didn't expect that she would have so many thoughts every time he came and went.
No wonder everyone says that a woman’s heart is like a needle in the sea, so elusive!
He used to look down on the so-called treasures and thought that he could get everything by relying on cheats. Now he is just forced to see her. There is no such thing as so much psychological activity!
However, everyone spoke eloquently and gave him such high-level reasons, so naturally he couldn't refute them.
"Boss Chu!" Chen Suming raised his voice and asked curiously after Chu Tang said yes, "Did they tell you that if I don't cooperate, the consequences will be serious?"
Chu Tang smiled bitterly and shook his head silently.
Chen Suming seemed to have seen through the inside story: "That's right! For that thing, they could destroy the entire Chen family in one night, and even hunted down our siblings all the way. They must be determined to get that thing! Just Sima Mansion, How can we stop their ambitions? If we really want to deal with us, it will only take a little effort."
Chu Tang looked at Chen Suming in surprise. This woman is the real sober person in the world!
In addition, her intelligence can almost be said to be great wisdom, which cannot be underestimated.
Thinking of this, Chu Tang became a little uneasy about the purpose of coming tonight, fearing that the other party had other ideas, calculations, or outrageous demands.
"Miss Chen, you are a sensible person!" Chu Tang said tentatively, "To tell you the truth, it was only after Mr. Chu returned to Qingcheng that he realized how serious the infiltration into your Sima Mansion was..."
Next, Chu Tang did not conceal or exaggerate. He directly told the layout of the Sima Mansion. At the end, he said helplessly: "Everyone has seen your every move. There is no secret in the entire Sima Mansion." It’s a shame!”
"Really...really?" Chen Suming trembled slightly after hearing this.
Chu Tang looked at her with pity and said: "There is no need for Chu to lie to you. Chu just returned to Qingcheng this morning. He had no knowledge of Sima Mansion before. After getting the layout plan at night, he can now Coming to you easily and accurately, doesn’t that explain everything?”
Chen Suming fell silent, and then sighed quietly after a long while: "So, there are people from them in the house?"
"Probably."
"Since I entered Sima Mansion, have they made arrangements?"
"Maybe that's what it is."
Chen Suming laughed loudly, full of sadness.
Chu Tang couldn't bear it and advised: "Miss Chen, fifty years have passed since the incident with King Liang. No one knows what the so-called treasure left by King Liang is. You Chen family... there is really no need to keep this secret. If you go down, why not... hand over your things and feel relaxed in exchange for living a good life in peace."
"Boss Chu, is this what you think?" Chen Suming said in a faint tone.
"Yes!" Chu Tang said firmly, "As the saying goes, a man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. As the ancients said, a gentleman will not stand behind a dangerous wall. That thing is of no use to your sister and brother, so why not let it go?"
After a while, Chen Suming sighed sadly: "It would be great if my father could understand this truth, and our Chen family would not..."
Chu Tang understood what she meant. She just blamed her father for not handing over the things earlier, otherwise the family would not be ruined.
In fact, Chu Tang was a little dissatisfied. With the identities of Zhou Ziyu and others that could not be exposed, as well as their brutality, and the situation of the Chen family, even if they handed over their things, they would probably be killed and silenced.
Before uncovering the treasure of King Liang, Zhou Ziyu was most afraid of the news leaking out.
Without high-level martial arts, the Chen family is destined to be in a weak position when facing strong men, and can only be slaughtered by others.
After all, Chen Suming was more clear-headed after experiencing all this, and knew the importance of force in this world. She always begged Chu Tang to teach her brother to learn martial arts, and she did not hesitate to take off her clothes and sacrifice herself for this.
Chu Tang couldn't help but think of what happened that night, feeling a little panicked, and quickly changed the subject: "Miss Chen, Chu won't let you suffer. As long as you hand over the secret, you can ask for anything. Didn't you want Chu before?" Will I teach my younger brother martial arts? No problem!"
Hearing the words request, younger brother, and martial arts, Chen Suming seemed to have remembered that he wanted to humble himself and do small things in front of Chu Tang. He couldn't help but feel hot and hesitated to say anything.
"Miss Chen?" Chu Tang called out when she didn't see her reply.
"Oh!" Chen Suming woke up with a start. Fortunately, the vision in the room was dim and the other party could not see his face clearly, otherwise he would be embarrassed.
She quickly took a deep breath in the darkness, and her tone was full of inexplicable meaning: "You can ask for anything?"
Chu Tang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said: "Of course it's something Chu can do."
Chen Suming hummed and said in a light tone: "I have been an official lady for nearly twenty years. I have always followed the rules and dare not exceed the courtesy. I always think that people in the world are kind and amiable, but... I don't want to think about it now. This kind of thing has been cultivated in the days when no one in the boudoir knows it! I also want to go outside and see the vastness of the world and the love of the sea of people!"
"Huh?" Chu Tang was confused.
"So!" Chen Suming stared into Chu Tang's eyes, and his tone suddenly dropped, "Boss Chu, can you take me to travel around the world?"
Chu Tang was so shocked that he was speechless: "Miss Chen, you... you are too..."
"Don't you feel free to ask for anything?"
Chu Tang smiled bitterly and said calmly: "You don't care about your brother learning martial arts? Now Chu can teach you martial arts."
In addition to the newly exchanged martial arts, he has already handed many martial arts into Tao Ying's hands. It would not be a problem to give another copy to the Chen siblings.
"You will also teach him, won't you?" Chen Suming asked.
Chu Tang felt uncomfortable all over and said: "Ms. Chen, you know best what Chu's situation is now. It can almost be said that everyone is shouting and beating, and the life is precarious. How can I lead someone to conquer the world?"
Just kidding, Chen Suming doesn't know martial arts, how could Chu Tang dare to lead her around? That would be no different from committing suicide.
I absolutely dare not agree to this condition!
"I...I am willing to travel the world with you, and I will not regret it even if I die!" Chen Suming said in an incomprehensible tone.
Chu Tang's heart was shocked, and he vaguely felt Chen Suming's intention. He couldn't help but look at the other party, and saw her eyes as hazy as water in the darkness, with an indescribable emotion contained in them.
Chu Tang became more and more restless, with a feeling of boredom rising in his heart. He didn't dare to look into Chen Suming's eyes, but he didn't even dare to turn his head for fear of giving the wrong signal.
"Miss Chen!" Chu Tang paused for a moment and said categorically, "There are many evil waves in the world, and people's hearts are even more dangerous. It's not as beautiful as you imagined! I have plans for you and for Chu, I will never agree to this. It’s conditional! You’d better make another request.”
Chu Tang finally cruelly rejected Chen Suming's request.
Chen Suming lowered his head in silence. When he raised his head again, his eyes were shining and he said decisively: "Then you must teach my brother at least three martial arts! Internal strength, light strength, and enemy-fighting skills are all indispensable!"
Hearing her words, Chu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was a little confused. He couldn't figure out whether Chen Suming's request just now was sincere, or whether he was negotiating terms to advance before retreating.
But no matter which one it was, Chu Tang didn't want to worry about it anymore and answered immediately: "No problem! Chu guarantees that the martial arts taught to him are at least the six realms of martial arts!"
"It's a deal!" Chen Suming laughed, "How do you want to teach martial arts? Give us the secret books, or stay and teach yourself?"
Chu Tang shook his head and said: "The secret book is not safe. If you don't practice it correctly, you might become obsessed. As for staying to teach... Chu really doesn't have the time and can't take the risk."
Chen Suming was unhappy: "You don't want to cheat afterward, do you?"
"of course not."
"They say that a fair transaction is to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. Leader Chu, if you want to take something from me, you can't just talk in vain, right?"
Chu Tang said angrily: "Is Mr. Chu like that? Have you heard of Dean Tao Yingtao of Wutong Academy?"
"Of course! She is a hero among us women and the person I admire most. I heard of her name when I was in Montgomery County."
"Chu left her a lot of martial arts secrets, and there are no more than three people who know about it. I will tell you the names of some martial arts secrets, and then you take your brother to visit her and tell her what happened today. , she will naturally teach you martial arts. She is a strong person in the six realms, so it would be best for her to lead you to get started."
"We?" Chen Suming was stunned for a moment.
Chu Tang sighed and said: "Although you have missed the best time to practice martial arts, there are some martial arts that are not a bad thing to practice."
Chen Suming became excited. He thought he could only get martial arts for his brother, but he didn't expect that he would even get a share.
"Boss Chu..."
Chu Tang said: "Teaching one is teaching, teaching two is teaching... Come here, I will tell you a few martial arts. You must remember, don't make a mistake. The names of these secret books are unique, and they are the most important thing between her and me." Good code."
Chen Suming approached Chu Tang excitedly. The latter lowered his head and slowly said a few martial arts names.
"Yeah!" Chen Suming listened carefully, but the man's breath hit her sensitive ears, making her whole body feel hot. It was difficult for her to remember the name firmly.
When Chu Tang left her ear, she came back to her senses, composed herself, and said softly: "Team leader Chu, please wait a moment, I will get that thing for you."
What the hell?
Chu Tang was stunned when he heard this. Is this girl so big-hearted that she keeps carrying that thing with her?
