Chapter 371: Be strong without desire, test in many ways

Chapter 371: Be strong without desire, test in many ways

Two more days passed.

During this period, Chu Tang, who was staying in Feng Mansion without going out, fully realized how crazy the rumors about him and Feng Huang were.

When many servants of Feng Mansion talked about this matter, they sometimes did not shy away from his presence and seemed to discuss it in front of him intentionally or unintentionally.

It has everything in it.

Some seemed happy to see it succeed, while others secretly said he was wishful thinking.

Even the children of the Feng family were involved.

Yesterday evening, when Chu Tang was strolling by the pond in the backyard, a little girl of eight or nine years old ran up to him and asked him if he wanted to be her brother-in-law.

After asking, I found out that this girl was a member of the Feng family and Feng Huang's cousin.

Even children have heard this rumor, and it is difficult for Chu Tang not to attract attention.

Now walking in Feng Mansion, he always felt that people on the road were pointing at him and talking about him.

In this regard, Chu Tang focuses on two words: silence.

Take a walk when you need to, eat when you need to eat, sleep when you need to sleep, practice martial arts when you need to practice.

In short, Tingfengxuan was like his safe haven. When he was tired of the turmoil outside, he would hide in the small building and stay out of sight, as if he was not the protagonist of the rumors, and treat it indifferently.

It is very strange that I remain unmoved despite the winds from east to west and from north to south.

Sanbao, the maid who served him, was outspoken and asked him directly: "Mr. Chu, there are all rumors about you outside, and they have spread like crazy. How do you manage to be so calm, ignoring other people's words?"

Chu Tang replied: "If you stand thousands of feet high on a wall, you will be strong if you have no desires."

"Huh?" Sanbao expressed confusion.

Chu Tang smiled, stopped explaining, and went to read.

But he didn't know that after this sentence was spread through Sanbao's mouth, even Feng Kaijing who heard it was filled with admiration.

"A good person is strong without desires!"

When Feng Kaijing, the leader of the Yiyi Guards, said this, it was completely dark.

After returning from his shift at the Zhenyiwei headquarters, he sat in the study and listened to the housekeeper Feng Liu talk about what happened at home during the day.

Feng Liugong stood solemnly in the study, across the desk, under the flickering orange light, carefully looking at his master who was leaning back on the chair in a relaxed posture, feeling a little unhappy and said: "Master, the boy named Chu has such an attitude , are you saying that he looks down on our third lady of the Feng family?"

Feng Kaijing didn't even raise his eyelids. He half-squinted his eyes and said, "Why, our third girl is a rare treasure in the world. Must everyone in the world be rare?"

Feng Liu said with a smile: "Don't blame me, sir, don't I feel worthless for the third lady! Rumors are raging these days, people inside and outside the house are inquiring, and even the third lady feels bad. This Chu Tang is good, let's eat Damn Xiang, don’t take it seriously at all!”

"Then how do you think he should behave to satisfy you?"

"Uh..." Feng Liuyi couldn't answer for a while.

Feng Kaijing ignored him, picked up an old book on the table and flipped through it.

The only sounds in the silent room were the flickering lights and the rustling of papers.

Feng Liu took a careful look at Feng Kaijing and whispered: "Master, the third lady seems to have doubts about this matter. She came over to ask me what was going on the day before yesterday. Although I have dealt with it, I'm afraid she won't I will give up and give up..."

"Why, are you afraid that she will come to accuse me?" Feng Kaijing smiled lightly.

Feng Liu apologized in a low voice: "I don't dare to disturb the troublesome master."

Feng Kaijing said calmly: "If she really dares to question me, then I can only push you out and say that this matter came from your side first."

"Master, you are asking the third lady to skin me!" Feng Liu cried out, "I was also ordered by the master to spread some small speculations outside."

Feng Kaijing smiled softly and said: "Okay, I will remember your contribution. How about this stone hitting the pond, how many ripples will it cause?"

Feng Liu's expression suddenly became serious and he said respectfully: "Sir, everything is as you expected. Ever since the rumor spread that our Feng Mansion wants to recruit Chu Tang as the third young lady's husband, there has been a lot of commotion inside and outside the mansion. .”

"Tell me about it." Feng Kaijing's faint voice sounded.

Feng Liu said: "In the mansion, the third master and the third lady came to me and asked why there was no action in the mansion to suppress the rumors."

"They are the biological parents of the third girl. It is normal for them to care about their daughter's innocence." Feng Kaijing said calmly.

Feng Liu said sarcastically: "I'm afraid they also realized that this matter is related to the master's plan, so they didn't dare to ask the master, so they had to come to me to ask questions."

"Stop talking about these things and keep talking about business." Feng Kaijing was dissatisfied.

Feng Liu nodded repeatedly and said: "In addition to the third master, the eldest master's branch has also sent people to ask; there are other branches that are more or less inquiring about something and are more active. In short, the house is boiling, and everything is moving up and down. .”

"I don't know what to say! I don't know whether to live or die!" Feng Kaijing commented with a cold snort.

Feng Liu saw that Feng Kaijing did not continue, so he said: "As for outside the mansion, a total of sixteen groups of people came to inquire. Such as Ding Guogong, Fu Guogong, Weiyuan Marquis, Zhenbei Marquis, etc. They are from the prince's family. In addition, several princes from the royal family have also sent people... They have one question, whether the third lady wants to get married, and whether their children can be considered. "

At the end of the day, Feng Liu was not without pride, feeling gratified that his young lady was so popular.

Feng Kaijing remained silent and didn't speak for a long time.

When Feng Liu saw this, he smiled and said: "Master, our third lady is still rare to many people!"

"Idiot!" Feng Kaijing said coldly, "Do you think these people are really here to ask about the marriage of the third girl? They are just here to test my attitude!"

"Testing?" Feng Liuda was puzzled.

Feng Kaijing glanced at him coldly and said: "If the three girls didn't have three thousand Phoenix Army in their hands, if I wasn't the Commander-in-Chief of the Guards, how could it have been such a big commotion if it was just a rumor?" Use your pig head to imagine what you want!"

"What the master means is..." Feng Liu broke into a cold sweat.

Feng Kaijing snorted coldly: "Do you think I asked you to spread rumors just for fun? I was just testing other people's reactions!"

Another temptation!

Feng Liu felt that his brain was not working properly, so he called out to Qu and said, "Master, I thought you just wanted to test Chu Tang's mind."

"What can he have in mind?"

Feng Liu said: "I thought the master wanted to see clearly his character and see if he wanted to take a shortcut by getting married and becoming rich!"

"What's the result?" Feng Kaijing chuckled, "If you say no desire, you will be strong. Let's see if you are ashamed!"

"I think he is thick-skinned!" Feng Liu muttered. "Others have made irresponsible remarks about him, but he can still be calm and calm. Either he is really calm, or he has a thick face and a dark heart."

Feng Kaijing said leisurely: "But no matter which one it is, it shows that he is not an ordinary person! A person in his early twenties who can survive against the masters of the Eighth Realm, do you think he has no arrogance?"

Feng Liu was surprised.

Chu Tang and Feng Huang met Sun Yikui, a master of the Eighth Realm in Xu Zhai. No one else knew about it, but the people in Feng Mansion had naturally found out about it.

It is really surprising that Chu Tang was able to drag Feng Erniang to help under Sun Yikui's full attack.

Now that I think about it, it’s really amazing!

Feng Liu heard that his master valued Chu Tang from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but cheer up, and echoed: "The master has taught me that I look down on others."

Feng Kaijing hummed, noncommittal.

Feng Liu asked again: "Master, what you just said about testing others' attitudes is..."

Feng Kaijing suddenly sighed and said in a deep voice: "The blue dragon is old and the dragons are moving around."

Feng Liu was horrified. There was only one person in the world who could make their master call him "Cang Long", and that was the emperor of today, Yao, the emperor of Jiuzhou!

As for the "swarm of dragons", it is difficult to say who this metaphor refers to.

"Master..." Feng Liu sensed his master's desolate mood.

Feng Kaijing said with emotion: "The world has still come to this point... Everyone wants to see how I choose and how I take sides!"

Feng Liu said unwillingly: "I am the commander-in-chief of the Yiyi Guards. Who dares to force you?!"

"It's precisely because I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Guards that they want me to have such an attitude!" Feng Kaijing was inexplicable. "It is said that once the emperor is the emperor, there are always ministers, and the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Guards is extremely special. Feng Kaijing was inexplicable. Six, have you ever seen that the new owner will continue to reuse the previous Commander-in-Chief of the Guards?"

Feng Liu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said with difficulty: "Master, has the matter reached this point?"

Feng Kaijing smiled bitterly and said: "If I have entered the Nine Realms, no one will dare to provoke me. Unfortunately, I am just short of the finishing touch. It will take a little time..."

Feng Liu hurriedly said: "I am a scholar of nature and have extraordinary talents. I will definitely be able to successfully become a master in the Nine Realms!"

Feng Kaijing shook his head slightly and said: "Actually, it would be a blessing to be able to take off the burden of being the commander-in-chief and concentrate on cultivation. I don't think the Nine Realms will really follow. But I won't wait for you!"

Feng Liu didn't know what to say.

Feng Kaijing seemed to have started talking, and continued: "The Phoenix Army only has three thousand people, and they are all women. They are usually inconspicuous, but stationed in the city of God, they are destined to be effective at critical times. Therefore, Feng Kaijing You have to be careful about who you marry.

"Many people have had ideas about her before, but I have blocked them all. This time, she has to test other people's attitudes. It is a last resort. In fact, if Chu Tang is really interested and Feng Huang doesn't object, They can be considered a perfect couple."

Feng Liu suddenly realized and said: "Master, are you saying that you should simply not take sides and directly choose a powerless target?"

Feng Kaijing sighed and said: "Although our Feng family has many people serving in the imperial court, after all, it is a martial arts family. Like the martial arts family, we want to recruit more people with excellent martial arts qualifications to join us. Chu Tang's martial arts achievements, Their martial arts talents are all superior to others, so they couldn’t be more attractive to a martial arts family!”

Feng Liu became more enlightened and said: "No wonder the master kept Chu Tang in the house and refused to find a job for him. He also arranged him in Tingfengxuan. It turned out that he wanted to give him more opportunities to get along with the third lady. !”

Feng Kaijing said helplessly: "But I heard that Feng Huang's senses are not very good for him."

It’s hard for Feng Liu to comment on this.

"People make plans, and God makes things happen, just let nature take its course!" Feng Kaijing finally said helplessly, and asked about other things, "Where is he, Qi Qi?"

Feng Liu quickly replied: "Ten days ago, it was said that he was heading north from Liangzhou. Two days ago, there was news that he had left Jingzhou and entered Zhongzhou. However, it is said that after entering Zhongzhou, he slowed down when he saw Mr. Qi. , slowly return to the capital of gods."

Feng Kaijing snorted coldly: "He is still dissatisfied with my order for him to step down as the commander of the Liangzhou Guards!"

Feng Liujin said: "I see that Mr. Qi has been staying in Liangzhou for several years. He is working hard and diligently. Now he has nothing to do and is light. Maybe he wants to have fun and relax."

Feng Kaijing smiled faintly and said: "Chu Tang was recommended by him. When he arrives in Shendu, let these two people have a good time together, and then I will see how to arrange them. This Shendu is getting more and more unstable. You have to be prepared for a rainy day and make plans early.”

Feng Liulian responded, saying that Chu Tang should repay his kindness and help them run errands.

Little did the two of them know that just when they expected Chu Tang to be of use to them, the third eldest lady of their Feng family began to poach them on behalf of Princess Xincheng.

The next day.

Listen to Fengxuan.

The afterglow of the evening slanted westward, illuminating the sky red.

Midsummer night comes later and the sky is still brighter.

"What, Princess Xincheng wants me to go to her house to be the commander of the bodyguards?" Chu Tang cried out in disbelief.

Under the orange afterglow, Feng Huang was looking at him seriously.

He really didn't expect that Feng Huang would take the initiative to come to him when rumors about the two of them were flying everywhere.

What he didn't even expect was that Fenghuang brought him such shocking news.

When the two of them finished their greetings, Feng Huang got straight to the point and directly stated the purpose of her visit, saying that Princess Xincheng asked her to come over to see if he, Chu Tang, was willing to serve as the commander of the bodyguards at Princess Xincheng's residence.

"The princess said that as long as you are willing, you can join the job tomorrow. As for the wanted manhunt of Marquis Nanqing of Liangzhou and the bounty of Luoshen Valley, she can ask the emperor to completely solve it for you. From now on, you don't have to worry about threats in this area. Just go about your business with peace of mind. Oh, by the way, in order to show the princess's sincerity, she sent people to find the leader of the Seven Star Gang and the head of the Hanyun Clan who entered the divine capital yesterday, so that they can leave the divine capital and not cause trouble for you." Feng Huang He acted like he was unmoved by the rumors and kept things business-like, and told him all the information he knew.

"This..." Chu Tang suddenly felt helpless and felt very embarrassed.

A trace of uneasiness flashed across Fenghuang's handsome face, and he frowned and said: "The commander of the guards of the princess's residence has a fourth-grade official rank, which is comparable to the prefect of a county. Are you still hesitant about such an opportunity to reach the sky in one step?"

Of course Chu Tang hesitated!

After successfully leaving Liangzhou, the world is so big that he can go anywhere, and the threats from Nanqinghou and Luoshen Valley are not worth mentioning to him.

If it was just for peace and a stable life, there was no need for him to come to the capital of God.

Being the commander of the guards at the princess's mansion is indeed very tempting and a good opportunity for ordinary people.

However, being just a bodyguard leader was not what Chu Tang expected.

Once he became the commander of the princess's bodyguards and stayed in the mansion every day, accompanied by various bodyguards when traveling, how many opportunities would he have to kill thieves?

If he doesn't kill the thief, how can he gain chivalry value?

Without chivalry points, how can he upgrade his martial arts?

After becoming the commander of the bodyguards, An Yi was at ease, but his martial arts might have stalled.

This is not what Chu Tang wants to see.

The Zhen Yiwei is suitable for him. He naturally has the identity and status of catching thieves. The God's Zhen Yiwei is even more outstanding, and he catches all big thieves.

Those are all shining chivalrous values!

"Third Miss, can Chu refuse?" Chu Tang said with a wry smile.

Fenghuang's face suddenly turned cold. (End of chapter)
