Chapter 345: Dark night in the secluded room, alone man and woman
call!
Like a gust of wind, a figure quietly appeared beside Princess Xincheng.
She was dressed in a gray robe, her face was wrinkled, and she looked very old.
The strong sunlight shone on her body, but it couldn't stop the cold air emanating from her body.
Perhaps because she was afraid of disturbing Princess Xincheng, she stopped when she was nearly ten feet away from the other party.
"Mommy, you saw clearly just now, is that person okay?" Princess Xincheng was not surprised at all by the sudden appearance of the figure. Her face was calm and she was just asking for advice.
The person who came was none other than her personal protector, Grandma Feng.
Nanny Feng half-squinted her eyes and looked up at the blazing sun in the sky. The blazing light made her feel quite comfortable.
Princess Xincheng was not annoyed by her awkward posture. Instead, she looked at her sympathetically and remained silent.
After a long while, Grandma Feng stretched out contentedly as if she was taking a sunbath, and then turned to answer Princess Xincheng: "Princess, do you want to ask about his Qing Gong, or about his personality?"
Princess Xincheng smiled, her fair face glowing in the sun, her dark and bright eyes full of smiles: "Mommy, she still has dazzling eyes. With so little effort, she can see through everyone."
Grandma Feng shook her head repeatedly: "It's just that she has seen too many people and has some discernment. Besides, that guy was only focused on dealing with you and Feng Huang, Princess, and didn't realize that there was an old man nearby who was observing, so he didn't have to hide anymore."
Princess Xincheng was stunned: "Hide? He really dares to bully me?"
Aunt Feng chuckled softly: "My princess, who doesn't have a mask in front of others? You only speak a few words when meeting people, don't give everything your heart! This is the most basic instinct of people in the world."
Princess Xincheng became interested: "Mom, please tell me what he is hiding."
Aunt Feng glanced slightly at the direction Feng Huang and Chu Tang left. There must be no one there, but she seemed to be staring at the person clearly and said slowly: "Princess shot three arrows in total, the first two arrows Fortunately, he did use Qinggong and body skills to avoid the meteor arrows."
"Is there something wrong with the third arrow?" Princess Xincheng understood the meaning.
Mother Feng nodded and said: "The princess's third arrow was shot after the second arrow, and she was not given time to prepare. And he was in the air, and he had no place to use his strength to return to the world. Faced with the one who was approaching immediately. With one arrow, I sensed a hint of momentum from him."
"Shi!" Princess Xincheng was surprised, "Is he a master of the upper three realms?"
As the most favored princess in the royal family, Princess Xincheng has met many warriors of the upper three realms. For example, the nanny next to her is a relatively rare eighth realm warrior.
But for Chu Tang, who is in his early twenties, even entering the seventh realm, let alone the eighth realm, is very amazing. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is rare in the world!
Grandma Feng's tone was incomprehensible: "He seemed to have dodged the third meteor arrow with Qinggong, but I sensed his unhurried momentum before that, which clearly meant that he had entered a certain realm. It can be said that he Even if it is not the Seventh Realm, it is still in the ranks of realizing the potential."
Princess Xincheng's eyes flashed slightly when she heard this.
Grandma Feng glanced at him and said: "Princess, a six-level warrior who has at least understood the potential in his early twenties, who did you think of?"
Princess Xincheng's expression changed: "Xiao Huan of Tianyan Sect?"
Tianyanmen is a martial arts holy place in Zhongzhou. It has always been low-key and few people travel around.
But there was a Xiao Huan who came out ten years ago. He was only twenty years old at that time, and he had already reached the six realms of perfection. He could enter and leave the divine capital, and the younger generation was invincible, and he was invincible under the seven realms.
Then, within two years, he was promoted to the Seventh Realm!
As soon as he entered the upper three realms, he showed his invincibility and repeatedly challenged the masters of the seven realms from all over Zhongzhou without ever losing!
Many of the older generation of Seven Realm experts were picked on his sword, fulfilling his reputation as the Tianyan Sect's number one genius in a hundred years.
It also made him the number one among the younger generation in Zhongzhou.
Many people are extremely sure that this child has the appearance of the Nine Realms. It just depends on the age at which he becomes a true master of the Nine Realms.
Xiao Huan only traveled in the world for five years. At the age of twenty-five, he returned to Tianyan Sect and practiced in seclusion.
Before he went into seclusion, some people said that he was about to reach perfection in the Seven Realms.
Such a fast entry speed really shocked the world.
Now five years have passed, and he, who is about thirty years old, can no longer imagine how far he has reached.
Eight realms?
It should be a done deal!
Nine realms?
Not impossible.
If he really achieves this, he can almost be said to be the youngest and most talented person in the Nine Realms in history.
This kind of person, let alone the martial arts world, even the imperial court must pay attention to him.
As a prominent figure in the city of God, Princess Xincheng often receives news from the palace and is even more sensitive to this.
She looked at Grandma Feng blankly, and asked in disbelief: "Grandma Feng, are you talking about Xiao Huan?"
Aunt Feng said quietly: "In his early twenties, he is in the Sixth Realm, he understands the situation, and he comes from the world... Besides him, who else can the princess think of?"
Princess Xincheng frowned, half-believing and doubtful: "Mammy actually thinks so highly of him?"
Grandma Feng smiled: "It's not that I'm optimistic about him, but I'm optimistic that people like him can live a long time."
"This kind of person? What kind of person?" Princess Xincheng was puzzled.
Aunt Feng didn't answer but asked: "What does the princess think of Feng Huang?"
Princess Xincheng's beautiful eyes slightly opened in surprise: "Mom, Fenghuang is your niece. You know better than me what she is like! Speaking of which, mama didn't even come out to see my niece just now. , aren’t you afraid that Fenghuang will blame you later?”
Grandma Feng smiled and said: "She is so busy running around for you, princess, that she has no time to bother me! Besides, I wasn't just here to help the princess observe Chu Tang, so I didn't have time to talk to her! "
Princess Xincheng became even more strange: "I was talking about Chu Tang so well, but why did I mention Fenghuang?"
Aunt Feng sighed and said: "Feng Huang is smart, but it is more reflected in martial arts and military formations. If you let her lead the troops in battle, she will not be said to be full of wits, at least she will not be considered smart. Ignorance. However, if her intelligence is put into the big vat of Jianghu, she may not be able to live as nourishingly as Chu Tang."
Princess Xincheng became even more interested. Regardless of the sun shining brightly above her head, she still accompanied Nanny Feng to bask in the sun, and asked, "Auntie, you mean that Chu Tang is very smart?"
Grandma Feng shook her head gently: "It's not necessarily true whether he is smart or not, but at least he is a cunning person. Judging from his words and actions, he is very purposeful and thick-skinned. In order to achieve his goal, he is not afraid of embarrassment in front of you."
"Ah?" Princess Xincheng didn't quite understand.
Aunt Feng looked at her and smiled: "Princess, don't you know what you look like? If nothing else, in my eyes Feng Huang, who is not as beautiful as you, is still a great beauty.
"Think about it, do other young men seem very reserved in front of you, and only want to show you their good side, but are not willing to show you their ugly side? To put it bluntly, their pride is at work! And as for Chu Tang, he doesn’t shy away from negotiating terms and interests in front of you!"
Princess Xincheng thought about it after hearing it, and it was really like this!
Just now, Chu Tang could even be said to have forced her to express whether she could help him solve Liangzhou's problem. If she didn't ask, he wouldn't agree to help...
Such people are indeed rare!
She is the princess of the new city, and God knows how many people are fawning over her in order to please her, fluttering in front of her like a peacock with its tail spread.
But Chu Tang was the only one who only talked about interests and nothing else!
Princess Xincheng is quite curious just thinking about it now.
"Such a person is highly utilitarian and flexible, and is most suitable to hang out in the world of constant disputes. Of course, in the officialdom, he can also be like a fish in water, as long as there is a chance..." Grandma Feng concluded.
"Opportunity..." Princess Xincheng heard the deep meaning and glanced at her with great interest, "Mommy, you actually interceded for him in front of me? Isn't it for Fenghuang?"
"Why do you say that?"
Princess Xincheng said with a half-smile, "I heard that Commander-in-Chief Feng intends to recruit this Chu Tang as Feng Huang's husband."
Grandma Feng was shocked and said quickly: "Is this happening? Princess, I haven't returned to Feng Mansion for a long time. I really didn't know this happened!"
She had to panic. If this was really the case, it would have been very inappropriate for her to ask Princess Xincheng to reuse Chu Tang.
Because Fenghuang is her niece!
As her younger brother, Feng Kaijing is also the commander-in-chief of the Yiyi Guard. He has a high position and authority, and is considered to be at the forefront in the divine capital.
The Feng Mansion has become so powerful, and it still attracts young talents at every turn, and even looks down upon them, which is inevitably much more reminiscent...
Aunt Feng was used to seeing the ups and downs of the officialdom, and she had seen a lot of the darkness in the palace. She had always been cautious. Even if Princess Xincheng treated her like a family member, she never dared to go beyond that.
Now hearing Princess Xincheng say this, it is inevitable to feel uneasy.
Princess Xincheng quickly comforted you and said, "Don't worry, mama. After so many years, can I still not understand you? I was just joking."
Aunt Feng smiled sarcastically and asked, "Is this true?"
Princess Xincheng shook her head: "It's not confirmed yet, it's just the news that came from Feng Mansion."
Grandma Feng's face looked ugly. What was reported from Feng Mansion... was it reported by Feng Kaijing on his own initiative, or was it reported by someone inadvertently?
The former is okay, which shows that Feng Kaijing is no longer testing anything, but is blatantly going to do this.
If it's the latter, that would be terrifying - to what extent has Feng Mansion been infiltrated? !
Aunt Feng glanced at Princess Xincheng subconsciously, wondering whether the other party said these words to her unintentionally or on purpose.
If it was intentional, what was the purpose? Was it to remind her, or to beat her?
Grandma Feng gradually calmed down, thought for a moment, and said, "I know Feng Huang. If she really knew about this, she would never bring Chu Tang out to do things so calmly."
Princess Xincheng smiled: "Then I don't know."
Grandma Feng lowered her head, thinking that she would have to go back and ask Feng Kaijing about this matter.
Princess Xincheng added: "But just like what grandma said, this person is a talent, a great talent, he must be put to good use!"
Grandma Feng forced a smile and said, "Princess, it's good that you know what's going on."
Princess Xincheng Youyou said: "Of course I already have some concerns."
Grandma Feng's eyes showed a trace of sadness, and she looked at the place where Chu Tang and Feng Huang left just now.
There was no one in sight, only the blazing hot sun.
…
Following Feng Huang, Chu Tang experienced for the first time how convenient it was for a high-ranking person in the city of God to handle cases.
No, when they wanted to continue to interrogate the guards and servants in the Xincheng Princess's mansion, the mansion sent detailed information about those people.
How detailed is it?
Who each person's ancestors were in the past three generations, what they did, what their status is now, and where they went a few days ago are all recorded on the information in front of them.
Everyone has set up a register, and each register is more than a foot high. As long as you have these information, you can be targeted when you ask people again, so that they will have no secrets at all.
Chu Tang was dumbfounded. He finally realized how big the difference was between the skills and methods of people from their local yamen and people from the other gods.
When he was handling cases in Gui County, he sometimes had no clue at all and had to investigate clues one by one by himself.
Sometimes you have to rely on blindness or luck to find some useful clues.
What happens if you have bad luck?
Take a look at the mountains of old cases piled up in government offices across the country!
Fenghuang focused on investigating the sixty guards and servants who had been in and out of the treasure house when it was stolen.
When she interrogated these people one by one, Chu Tang found that they were both fearful and angry, and they also hated Feng Huang and the people around her.
Think about it and understand it. Let’s not say whether there are real thieves among these people. Checking them again and again is a distrust of them.
As the bodyguards and servants of the Thirteenth Princess, when had they ever been so angry?
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand their resentment.
But Fenghuang is vigorous and resolute, and his methods are relatively simple and crude. Regardless of whether you like it or not, in short, he will treat you as a prisoner for interrogation, and completely remove their underwear, leaving them with no secrets and nothing to hide.
At the end of the day, Feng Huang still found nothing. At night, he could only take people back to Feng Mansion to rest.
Chu Tang himself was not an expert in handling cases. In line with the purpose of watching more and talking less, he just watched Feng Huang mess around and didn't have many useful suggestions.
In fact, he had some difficulty understanding why Fenghuang would re-examine these people with such great fanfare. Even if they had doubts about them, shouldn't they be investigating in secret?
Acting so unscrupulously makes it easier to alert someone!
"Could it be that what she wants is to lure the snake out of its hole?" Chu Tang guessed.
Fenghuang gave him the answer to this question at night——
The night was as deep as water, and everything was quiet. When Chu Tang in Fengxuan was adjusting his breath, he felt the breath of Fenghuang approaching.
A figure jumped in quietly from Tingfengxuan's window. Chu Tang opened his eyes suddenly and said in confusion: "Miss Third, it's a dark room at night, a man and a woman alone. It's not appropriate for you to come in like this." Right? Aren't you afraid that Mr. Chu will think you are a flower-picking thief and kill you?"
"Stop talking nonsense and follow me!" Feng Huang's cold voice sounded.
"Where to go?"
"Don't ask, you'll know when you get there!" Fenghuang turned around and jumped out of the window sill, hiding in the dark night.
Chu Tang thought for a while, sighed, picked up the magic weapon Yitian, and flew out.
