In Anping Restaurant.
After Chen Tianwen glanced at Lao Tao, he rushed into the restaurant in a panic and reached the top floor.
He walked closer and saw his third uncle lying there with his eyes open, looking out the window in a daze.
There were several panic-looking people around him, including the shopkeeper and waiter of this restaurant. There was a loud noise in the restaurant. As the shopkeeper of the restaurant, he immediately called the waiters to come up with him to check the situation.
In restaurants, it often happens that guests get into fights because of drinking or when enemies meet.
When he and the waiter came in and saw clearly who was lying on the ground, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Commander Chen of the patrol camp, and more importantly, there is the Chen family behind him that no one dares to offend. Now something happened in his restaurant, and it seems that he is still seriously injured.
If the Chen family blamed them, there would be no Anping restaurant in the capital tomorrow.
The shopkeeper was in a panic and wanted to help Chen Xuan up, but was stopped by the other party. He had no choice but to order the waiter to clean the room first and inspect the scene, but found nothing suspicious.
Just when he was wondering how to solve this problem, he saw Chen Tianwen running up.
When the shopkeeper saw Chen Tianwen coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Master Chen, Commander Chen..."
At this time, Chen Xuan, who was lying on the ground, interrupted the shopkeeper and ordered: "Shopkeeper, go down! Don't let anyone come up to disturb us."
The shopkeeper was confused and looked at Chen Tianwen.
"Shopkeeper, please go down."
Chen Tianwen looked at the shopkeeper's horrified face and said with a cold face, "I don't want to hear anyone in the capital talking about today's restaurant incident tomorrow."
Chen Tianwen continued: "The Chen family will not blame the restaurant for this matter. You go down and arrange for people to stay at the stairs and don't let anyone come up."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he bowed and said: "I will personally guard the place. I will definitely not let anyone come up to disturb Commander Chen and Mr. Chen."
Chen Tianwen waved his hand to the shopkeeper, signaling him to step back.
The shopkeeper walked to the door, closed the door, and let out a long sigh of relief.
After everyone left, only the uncle and nephew were left in the room.
Chen Tianwen walked up to Chen Xuan with an anxious look on his face, not at all as calm as when the shopkeeper was around. He leaned down and asked with concern: "Third uncle, are you okay? Are you seriously injured?"
"Tian'er, I'm fine."
Chen Tianwen grabbed Chen Xuan's shoulders and said, "Third uncle, let me help you up."
Chen Xuan stretched out his hand to stop Chen Tianwen and said tiredly: "Third uncle wants to lie down for a while. Tian'er, please bring a chair over and sit next to me. Third uncle has something to tell you."
"Third uncle, please tell me. Tian'er can squat in front of you and listen."
Chen Xuan smiled: "Uncle San just wants to lie on the ground for a while. It's been a long time since I've been able to lie down so unscrupulously. I'm really fine."
Chen Xuan looked at the worried look on Chen Tianwen's brow and hit his chest with his hand.
"Go ahead and bring a chair and sit down."
Chen Tianwen saw that Chen Xuan's life was indeed not in danger, and his third uncle's tone today was very different from before, so he obediently moved a chair.
In the room, Chen Xuan was lying on the ground looking out the window. Chen Tianwen was sitting upright on a chair, staring at Chen Xuan's face.
"Tian'er, our Chen family has been rich and powerful for hundreds of years. What do you think we rely on?" Chen Xuan asked.
Chen Tianwen thought for a while and replied: "Family education, clan rules, and there will always be some outstandingly talented people among the ancestors of the past generations."
"These are just the basics for a family to continue."
"That's why." Chen Tianwen didn't understand why he was talking about this matter now.
"Before the Great Yu, several countries fought against each other for hundreds of years. When a country was weak, it would not last forever. There would always be ups and downs, and our Chen family served the king, traveled before various countries, and applied what we had learned. The Chen family could only If one tribe dies, the family will not be destroyed.”
"How can there be a complete egg in the nest?"
Chen Xuan looked at the sky outside the window and continued: "Dunlin and Chiyuan will eventually have a battle. There can only be one master in this world, and Chiyuan is a foreigner. Our Chen family will not be like before, betting on both sides. The one in the palace won’t allow it either.”
Chen Tianwen listened quietly to his third uncle's words without making a sound.
"Your second uncle's current status cannot offer anything to the Chen family, and he is not suitable to interfere in the Chen family's affairs."
It is not a good thing for a family like the Chen family to have a king with a different surname. A big tree attracts wind. The person in the palace may not be suspicious of the Chen family, but the courtiers will.
So after Chen Tianwen was granted the title of King Xianlin, he moved out of the Chen Mansion and lived in his own palace. He rarely went to the Chen family on weekdays.
"Why did Third Uncle tell me these things today?" Chen Tianwen asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Chen Xuan sighed softly: "If Third Uncle's guess is correct, Tian'er will leave Beijing soon."
Chen Tianwen frowned and said softly: "Are you leaving the capital? Where are you going? What are you going to do?"
"Where are you going? Third uncle doesn't know. I just remembered something. I guess it has something to do with that old man."
Chen Tianwen was sitting on the side with a very calm expression. If the third uncle speculated that he would leave Beijing soon, it means that this matter would be related to his grandfather and the second uncle.
"When I returned home a while ago, I heard the old man and your father talking about Zhongzhou. You also know that Zhongzhou lies between Dunlin and Chiyuan. What Zhongzhou means to us Dunlin and Chiyuan."
Chen Tianwen nodded.
Chen Xuan said again: "There is a mixed bag of people in Zhongzhou, all of them are people from the world, and the old Taoist martial arts is very high. What's more, the sons of King Beixiang and King of Western Territory both came to Beijing at the same time, and they are all the second sons. Your second uncle has never been married, and you are the only one suitable for the Chen family."
Chen Xuan turned around and looked at Chen Tianwen with a worried expression, but hesitated to speak.
Chen Tianwen smiled faintly and said, "Third uncle, you don't have to worry about Tian'er's health. It was actually arranged by the man in the palace and the second uncle. We can't postpone that day."
He stood up from the chair, thought for a few seconds and continued: "Uncle Third, are you saying that those two will also come with me?"
"They both had to come all the way to the capital. I think it was because of this."
"But what can we three do?" Chen Tianwen said thoughtfully.
The other two people have similar identities to me. The son of the Wang family in Beixiang is similar to me. The other one looks younger. What can they do together.
There was a hint of loneliness in Chen Xuan's eyes, and he said softly: "Not necessarily, we need you to do something now. Dunlin and Chiyuan are fighting for the future, and you are young, so the future still depends on you young people."
"Then why did the people around them, He Laodao, start a dispute?" Chen Tianwen didn't understand. How could the old Taoist start a fight with them on the street when he came to the capital to pick up people.
Chen Xuan was lying on the ground and suddenly laughed and said: "Didn't we also fight with that old Taoist?"
