At this time, perhaps because of Liu Jixing's relaxation, the atmosphere here became a little more comfortable.
But dragon power has always been the most unpredictable. Although these people are considered to be the best for a while, they are in the Lingnan Palace, surrounded by imperial guards and imperial guards. If the emperor is really angry, everyone knows that the consequences will be serious.
Everyone understands this!
I am also deeply afraid of this truth!
So when Liu Jixing called Chen Shu over, everyone couldn't help but sweat for the Chen family when they saw that Chen Shu didn't seem to respond.
Many people didn't know Chen Geng's identity, but when they heard about such a good thing, many people were happy for Chen Geng. But when they saw that Chen Shu behind him seemed reluctant, they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Isn’t this girl sick?
This is what most people think. After all, not everyone can have such a good thing like being favored by the emperor.
But how could these people know about Chen Geng's inner struggle? The fat man next to him, Gao Ke, knew. Seeing Chen Geng's face stiffened and Chen Shu's unresponsive expression, he couldn't help but mourn for the Linwu Chen family for a while.
No matter how powerful a family is, if it offends the emperor, and the emperor happens to be cruel, it is possible for the family to be defeated at any time. History has never been general. As a person who travels all over the world, it will be difficult for Gao Ke to survive if he does not have some foundation. He has his own intelligence network and his own connections, but how can he be at odds with the emperor when doing business in Lingnan?
When he first recognized Liu Jixing, he even thought about dying. Who knows what's going to happen is that instead of showing any signs of anger, Liu Jixing seems to still remember his invitation to him. Seeing the embarrassing scene at this moment, he naturally did not dare to say anything, but he was thankful that the smoke was rising from the tomb of his ancestors.
Liu Yan, the founding emperor of Lingnan, could be said to be a murderer, so he was called the True Mirage. And the successor Emperor Zhongzong, Liu Sheng, was a man who even killed all his own brothers, let alone others. The current young emperor is said to have caused a river of blood to flow outside the Meridian Gate of Prince Xing's Palace before the Spring Festival.
Although Gao Ke and Chen Geng are not friends, they once had a relationship with each other. In addition, knowing that Chen Geng is the head of the Chen family in Linwu made him even more interested in making friends. At this time, Liu Jixing suddenly spoke like this. Although he didn't know whether he really liked this girl or just to test the Chen family, Gao Ke's heart was pounding. Of course, at this time, he instinctively looked at Ouyang Tong.
Ouyang Tong didn't seem to interfere in this kind of thing, and his inner thoughts couldn't be seen on his face. When he was brought here by Liu Jixing, he had a premonition that he was going to be tricked. But no matter how hard he racked his brains, what he didn't expect was that he would be defeated by Liu Jixing in just a few words.
His biggest hobby in this life is eating, but he didn't expect that Liu Jixing's words really made him unable to refute.
Prince Xing's Mansion is indeed very prosperous, but now in the entire Central Plains, there are really many places where children are exchanged for food. As a kind of food, human flesh is really not a rare thing in many places. Although no one eats it in public, this is really food for the hungry people and refugees. Ouyang Tong, who traveled around the world, did not refute because he had no way to refute.
He could see some of Gaoke's reaction and thoughts on the side. However, Gao Ke looked at Chen Geng with compassion, which made Ouyang Tong feel more favorable to the fat man.
Of course, seeing Chen Geng's expression, Ouyang Tong understood even more that this was one of Liu Jixing's decisive methods.
A young boy with no one around to teach him, yet he has such thoughtfulness and foresight in handling things! Is there really such a genius in this world? Thinking of hearing people say that Liu Jixing was chosen by Tao Zun, it seems that it is not unfounded.
It should be said that Ouyang Tong also received a message from his master, because both his master Gui Guzi and his master Mo Yuzi had interactions with Tao Zun. But Guiguzi has not been out for decades, and even Ouyang Tong is not sure whether his master is still there. Of course, Master Mo Yuzi now travels around all year round, leaving all matters in the world to be handled by himself. Seeing Liu Jixing in front of him, Ouyang Tong suddenly felt an unreal feeling.
It is easy to control human nature at such a young age. Regardless of whether Chen Shu agrees or not, what Liu Jixing needs is a word from the Chen family. Chen Geng is relatively smart, because no matter how powerful you are personally, when it comes to the life and future of the entire family and thousands of children, he has to make a statement. Ouyang Tong was noncommittal about this kind of thing. After all, he is the master of Lingnan.
However, the faint smell of blood in the air, even with the cover of sandalwood, could not be completely eliminated, making people feel a little bit more weird.
Chen Shu did not come over immediately. Even though Chen Geng had spoken out, she still stood there stubbornly.
It wasn't that she had her own ideas, but looking at Liu Jixing's smiling face, she suddenly felt a dislike for Liu Jixing in her heart.
In the past two or three days along the way, she had become somewhat fond of Liu Jixing. But when she found out that this young man who often spoke arrogantly and could make people happy was actually the emperor of the Han Kingdom in Lingnan, she suddenly felt a sense of boredom in her heart.
Although Chen Geng looked calm on the surface, he looked at Chen Shu and found it difficult to urge him. After all, as the head of the Chen family, he has his own family ties and is also responsible for the development of the entire family.
As a master who is invisible to the world, it can be said that if Chen Geng wants to withdraw from the palace, it will not be a big problem. But thinking about the future of the entire family, Chen Geng couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart. He knew that he would be confused if he cared about them, so he stopped looking at his niece and Liu Jixing and tilted his head to the pit.
"Sister Shu'er, why don't you come over!" Huanhuan, who was a little shy at first, was the first to say something at this time.
Seeing Huan Huan sitting on Liu Jixing's lap, she actually summoned herself. Although Chen Shu was a little shy, seeing Liu Jixing's smile unchanged, her heart finally softened, and she suddenly thought of her uncle. Seeing my uncle sitting there without even looking at me, I finally remembered that this was a major family matter.
Liu Jixing didn't say anything because he didn't want Chen Shu, a girl, to feel pressure. After all, it wouldn't be a big problem if he had one more person and one less person in his harem. But Chen Shu represents the Chen family, and it is also the Chen family's attitude towards herself.
Originally, according to Liu Jixing's thinking, the head of a big family like Chen Geng would inevitably be fickle. Now that I see Chen Gengyun's calm look, I feel a little happy.
Because Chen Geng's statement undoubtedly means that the Chen family does not want to conflict with him, and even his state has nothing to do with his cultivation. After receiving speculations from Shi Wu and Yang Jiong, Liu Jixing finally understood that this Chen Geng was most likely the Chen Hongjin who was all-powerful back then.
Seeing Chen Shu finally slowly walking over, although Chen Geng's expression remained unchanged, the stone in his heart finally fell.
Because he saw Chen Shu walking over, the corners of Liu Jixing's lips curled up slightly. He didn't mean to intimidate Chen Geng just now, he just greeted Chen Shu unintentionally. Because when I was with her in the past, she had never been so coquettish. But seeing Chen Geng's reaction, he instantly understood that Chen Geng was a little sensitive, and naturally he couldn't help but follow the trend to see what the Chen family was thinking.
Seeing Chen Shu turning sideways and actually sitting down next to Liu Jixing, almost everyone here had different expressions. Although the couch Liu Jixing is sitting on is not a real dragon chair, the place where the emperor is sitting is the dragon chair. Ordinarily, Chen Shu is just a civilian girl, but she actually dares to sit on the dragon throne?
Although Liu Jixing asked her to sit down, her courage and fearlessness still impressed many people.
But what was even more unexpected was that Liu Jixing didn't seem to care at all. Instead, he pointed down and said to Chen Shu: "Look, it's already started. I don't know who among these people can stay. Let's see who is more powerful." ?”
Because Liu Jixing changed the topic, everyone also looked at the pit. I saw only forty or fifty people inside. Because their hands and feet were untied and their hoods were removed, it was said that only those who persisted until the end could stay. For a while, everyone started to look at the people around them.
"That young man should have a chance of winning!" Chen Shu saw a young man with a resolute face but mediocre appearance, pointed at him and said to Liu Jixing.
"Shu'er is so sure?" Liu Jixing looked at Chen Shu in surprise, and naturally saw the difference in this young man.
Because he was obviously with two or three companions, but when the companions were back to back and did not pull him over, he did not rush to get closer. Instead, he bent his head to avoid a man's straight punch, quickly rolled on the ground, and approached the edge of the pit. And he immediately leaned against the circular stone edge of the pit, watching with vigilance as a fierce fight broke out in the field.
The pit is five feet in diameter. It is made of meters square stones to form a circle. It is slightly larger at the bottom, but slightly smaller when you reach the viewing platform. This is not only helpful for watching the battle, but also prevents beasts or people from jumping onto the platform. Of course, basically the possibility of these people coming up is extremely small, because the surrounding stones are polished extremely smooth, and there is nowhere to stand.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Gao Jinye, the junior minister of the Tang Dynasty, has something to report!" Suddenly, on the envoy's side on the right, a man in gilded clothes stood up, cupped his fists, and saluted Liu Jixing.
More than a dozen guards immediately surrounded him and surrounded him. But he stood there with his fists clasped, without any fear!
Liu Jixing waved his hand, signaling to the guards to be calm. I glanced at this man and felt that he seemed familiar.
Yang Jiong's message came to his ears: "This is the representative of the Xiaoyao Sect in the capital, the boss behind the most famous Jieyu Tower in the capital. Now, with the instructions of the King of Tang, he has become the representative of the Tang Kingdom in the capital!"
Liu Jixing nodded to indicate that he understood, but said to Gao Jinye, "Gao Aiqing, what do you have to report? How about watching a fight first?"
"Thank you for your kindness, His Majesty! However, several of my subordinates may have been framed, and they are now in the Colosseum below. If time passes, it will be inevitable. I hope His Majesty the Emperor will be merciful and release them!" Although Gao Jinye He spoke a bit fast, but when he said this, he couldn't help but look at Liu Jixing eagerly.
"Gao Aiqing must be dazzled! These people below are all spies who have come to the capital to cause trouble! I have always followed the principle of good wine when friends come, and shotguns when wolves come, so I brought everyone here to watch the battle, Gao Aiqing Never say it as a joke!" Liu Jixing looked confused.
