The Duke of Deshun stared at Zhou Yingde quietly, and remained silent for a long time.

Suddenly, the King of Deshun County smiled and said, "Yingde has grown up and can say these high-sounding words."

Seeing this situation, cold sweat flooded Zhou Yingde's forehead, "Seventh Uncle, although I am a little selfish, everything I said is true."

"If Uncle Seven doesn't believe it, you can go check it out."

"I didn't say I didn't believe it." The Duke of Deshun came to Zhou Yingde's side and patted Zhou Yingde on the shoulder, "But I'm old and I don't want to be involved in this fight anymore."

"I've already offended a lot of people when I helped your grandfather compete for the throne of the king. Now I want to spend my old age in peace, but I don't want to offend anyone anymore."

Zhou Yingde looked at the Duke of Deshun in wonder, is this still the seventh uncle in his memory, who is not afraid of heaven and earth?

Seemingly seeing what Zhou Yingde was thinking, the Duke of Deshun smiled and said, "I fell into the abyss before and couldn't see the way up. Naturally, I wanted to give my whole heart to Zhou's family in return for Zhou's upbringing."

"But now that I have seen hope, I naturally have more scruples."

More scruples?

Zhou Yingde couldn't understand his seventh uncle anymore. What hope was it that the seventh uncle, who devoted himself wholeheartedly to the family, became selfish?

Could it be...that's what happened?

Zhou Yingde's pupils shrank, and then sadness rose from his heart, "Seventh Uncle, you... have you really decided?"

"If the plan fails, I'm afraid you will..."

"This matter has been dragged on for two hundred years. Venerable Zifu, how many two hundred years can there be? No matter what, I will fight for it." The Prince of Deshun smiled.

"I understand." Zhou Yingde nodded bitterly, then got up and said, "Seventh Uncle, I'm leaving."

"Well, let's go."

Looking at Zhou Yingde's back, the Prince of Deshun smiled and held up a cup of tea, "You're right, this person's throne cannot fall into the hands of Ying Lan, such a ruthless person."

"But your eldest brother, isn't it cruel? Are the rest of the royal family not cruel?"

"The Zhou clan has been ruling for too long, so long that you have forgotten that the rule of thumb is not to be cruel, but to be the king's way."

"For 800 years, no new great power has been born. I see how long you can be arrogant."

"Let's make trouble, make trouble, this has nothing to do with me. When the Zhou family declines, you will really wake up."

After speaking, Zhou Yingde drank the hot tea in his hand, and then turned around to go about his own business.

It's true that he doesn't want to be involved in the royal family, and it's also true to plan that thing.

Two months later, Chen Cheng.

Chen's house, in Chenyang courtyard.

Chen Yang's eyes were tightly closed, and he sat in the center of the courtyard, and the spiritual energy in the courtyard, under the adsorption of Chen Yang, formed a spiritual vortex.

Chen Yang, who is in the center of the spiritual vortex, has a deep breath on his body.

Suddenly, as Chen Yang broke through a meridian again, the spiritual energy in the courtyard and the spiritual stone beside Chen Yang were quickly swallowed by Chen Yang.

After doing all this, Chen Yang opened his eyes, and a ray of light flashed from his eyes.

"After nearly two months of cultivation, my cultivation has finally reached the third level of opening the pulse."

In the past two months, Chen Yang's cultivation base has grown rapidly by using the Chongmai Pills. After consuming ten Chongmai Pills, Chen Yang's cultivation base has officially reached the peak of the early stage of opening the pulse.

After the breakthrough of the cultivation base, some things should be dealt with.

According to Chen Ying, his mission period is three months.

Now that the deadline has come, the task has not been completed. I think Prince Laike's housekeeper should send a new killer.

As for the Song family, Prince Ke's housekeeper should also contact the Song family to find out why Ying Shisan failed.

After all, the Song family is a local snake in Nanyang County, and the information they have is definitely not comparable to them.

At this point in time, evidence of the Song family's treason can definitely be found.

Immediately, Chen Yang went to the conference hall and called Chen Ying and Chen Xuan into the conference hall at the same time.

Conference hall.

"Chen Xuan, next, you and Chen Ying will go to Song City together to try to grasp the evidence of the Song family's treason."

"Understood!" Chen Xuan nodded.

"Yeah." Chen Yang nodded, then looked at Chen Ying, "Chen Ying, since you surrendered to my Chen family, this is the first mission, I hope you don't let me down."

"Don't worry, Patriarch, I definitely found evidence of the thief's treason!" Chen Ying said.

"Okay, let's go."

After Chen Xuan and Chen Ying left, Chen Yang called Chen Xuan again, "Elder, how is the cultivation of the clan?"

"Currently, there are two clansmen in the ninth level of qi training, the third and sixth elders respectively, the eighth level of qi training has twelve people, and the seventh level of qi training, there are even more."

Speaking of this, Chen Xuan said with a smile: "This is all thanks to you, Patriarch. Since you took power, the Chen family's cultivation resources have increased year by year, and the cultivation speed of the clansmen has naturally accelerated."

"This is the result of everyone's efforts." Chen Yang waved his hand, and then said, "By the way, has the qualification stone I ordered from Zhou's firm arrived?"

"Home Lord, yesterday arrived."

"Well, gather all the clansmen together, and let's test the aptitude of the next clansmen." Chen Yang said.

"As ordered."

Immediately, with Chen Yang's order, both the direct line and the collateral line were all concentrated on the martial arts field.

After the qualification stone was moved to the martial arts field, Chen Yang said, "Let's start."

"Um."

The first person to test his aptitude was the Great Elder Chen Xuan.

As everyone guessed, Chen Xuan's aptitude is eighth-rank, otherwise it would be impossible to break through to open the pulse.

As Chen Xuan finished testing his qualifications, the remaining clansmen tested their qualifications one by one.

This test is a half-day scene.

After all the clansmen had finished the test, Chen Xuan put the statistical results in front of Chen Yang, "Patriarch, the results of this test are as follows."

"There are a total of four people with eighth-rank qualifications, namely me, the third elder, the sixth elder, and the fourth elder's daughter Chen Meng."

"The rest of the clansmen are basically ninth-rank aptitudes."

Chen Yang was not surprised by this result. Although the Chen family is a family of martial arts, basically everyone can cultivate, but after all, it is only ninth-rank, the background is too low, and the possibility of appearing above eight-rank aptitude is too small.

"I just don't know what kind of qualifications that stinky brat is." Chen Yang smiled.

Speaking of Chen Xiao, a smile appeared on Chen Yang's face. It was not even a year after Chen Xiao left the family, and his own cultivation had reached the sixth level of Qi training.

You must know that he is only sixteen years old, and to have such a cultivation base, I am afraid that it is his aptitude, at least the seventh rank.

When Chen Xuan heard this, he followed with a smile and said, "That kid Chen Xiao is really good at it. I heard that he has already gained a lot of fame in the Demon Slayer Palace."

"Since Chen Xiao is in high spirits, the family has to make a statement. In this way, look for a monster that can grow to the peak of the monster general and give it to Chen Xiao." Chen Yang said.

"Understood." Chen Xuan understood.

"As for the third and sixth elders, from today onwards, they will be relieved of their duties, and let them concentrate on breaking through the open pulse."

"Chen family, it's time to prepare for becoming an eighth-rank family."

...

Song City.

After five days of traveling, Chen Xuan and Chen Ying officially arrived in Songcheng.

After arriving in Songcheng, the two did not act in a hurry, but found a teahouse and planned first.

"Brother Ying, do you know what's so special about that group of people, especially their voices?" Chen Xuan asked.

Chen Ying thought for a moment, and then said: "I have seen Prince Ke's butler a few times. If there is anything special, the butler's voice seems a little weird."

"Weird?" Chen Xuan frowned, "Can you tell me in detail, why is it weird?"

"You may not believe me when I say it. His voice is a little sharp and a little hoarse, and at the same time there is a hint of gloom." Chen Ying said.

Chen Xuan was stunned, this is a voice that people can make.

"Actually, the butler's voice is very distinguishable. You can clearly feel it. It's not a voice that people can make." Chen Ying added.

Good guy, it's really not a voice that people can make, Chen Xuan pouted, "I'll try it."

Immediately, Chen Xuan slowly closed his eyes, and the spiritual energy surged in his body, urging his blood to open.

At the same time, one after another voice poured into Chen Xuan's ears.

Seeing Chen Xuan's appearance, Chen Ying was amazed. With such a strange bloodline, he was born to be a spy.

It seems that this Chen family is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

If the Chen family can really kill the Song family this time, then he can really surrender to the Chen family. After all, the potential of the Chen family has already emerged.

At this time, he surrendered to the Chen family, and when the Chen family took off in the future, he could also reap a lot of benefits from it.

When Chen Ying was thinking about whether he really surrendered to the Chen family, Chen Xuan also completed this search.

It's just a pity that the voice Chen Ying said was not found.

When Chen Ying saw this, he knew that Chen Xuan had found nothing, and immediately said, "Brother Xuan, your method is wrong."

"What is the butler here for? Naturally, it is to contact the Song family. Only by monitoring the Song family's mansion can we find traces of the butler."

"It makes sense." Chen Xuan thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.

Immediately, Chen Xuan wanted to get up and leave.

"What are you doing? Don't be in a hurry, just rush over there now. Why don't you want to be found. Sit down first and finish your tea."

After stopping Chen Xuan, Chen Ying hated the iron and said: "Tell me about you, such a good embryo, how can you be so reckless."

"It seems that after I go back, I will train you well so that you can see how the real spies do."

Chen Xuan scratched his head embarrassedly, "Yes, yes, Brother Tingying is yours."

"In this way, let's find out first. The inn closest to the Chen family will stay there. Then we will split up. You should pay attention to the sounds around the Song family in the inn."

"I'll go shopping outside to see if I can meet the housekeeper." Chen Ying said.

"Will it be too dangerous." Chen Xuan was a little worried, "If you are discovered, wouldn't it be life-threatening."

Chen Ying was stunned, this was the first time someone cared about him, and then he laughed and scolded: "Stinky boy, I have experienced more dangers than the rice you have eaten, why do you need to worry about me?"

"As for the housekeeper, he is a big man, so how can he recognize me?

Now that my cultivation base is sealed, I don't have the aura of their exercises, and it's even harder to be discovered. "

Hearing Chen Ying say this, Chen Xuancai breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "Well, we will split up later."

After drinking tea, the two first found an inn, and then acted alone according to the plan.

This investigation is half a month's time.

Half a month later, on the avenue leading to the Song family, Chen Ying caught a glimpse of a figure.

found it!

Chen Ying's pupils shrank, her heart beating rapidly, and then she turned around quickly, pretending that she didn't see anything, and rushed back to the inn unhurriedly.

After arriving at the inn, Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly entered the room, "Chen Xuan, found it!"

"Really?" Chen Xuan's eyes lit up, and then he activated the spiritual energy in his body to monitor the movements of the Song family.

"Not here... not here..."

Drops of sweat dripped from Chen Xuan's forehead. This Prince Ke's housekeeper might not be around for long. The time was so tight, how could Chen Xuan not be in a hurry.

"This is... Song Patriarch? Found it!"

While searching for the voice Chen Ying said, Chen Xuan heard a sentence.

Master, here they come.

who are they? It must be the steward of Prince Nake.

Immediately, Chen Xuan locked here, and sure enough, it didn't take long before he heard the voice Chen Ying said.

Song family, in the discussion hall.

"Patriarch Song, you should give me an explanation for this matter." Prince Ke's housekeeper said coldly.

Hearing this, Patriarch Song smiled nervously, "Sir, I wonder what kind of explanation you want?"

"Didn't you say that Chen Cheng has only one Ning Dan? But my spy told me that Shadow Thirteen was folded in the hands of a Ning Dan that never appeared."

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation for this matter?" Prince Ke's housekeeper stared at the Song family, and an invisible murderous aura enveloped the Song family.

Song Patriarch felt like a man on his back at the moment, it seemed that in the next instant, Prince Ke's housekeeper would kill him.

"This...this..., my lord, we don't know what the situation is. After checking for a long time, we haven't found any information about the strong condensate pill."

"Waste!" Prince Ke's housekeeper scolded, and then said: "Forget it, this matter is over."

"From today~lightnovelpub.net~ I won't blame you, and you don't want us to kill Chen Yang for you again."

"Yes yes yes." Song Patriarch nodded again and again. At this moment, he didn't want to kill Chen Yang anymore, as long as he could save his life.

"Well, there is something for you to do." As he said, Prince Ke's housekeeper handed Patriarch Song a piece of yellow paper.

Song Patriarch took the yellow paper, opened it and glanced at it, and then asked in confusion, "What do you want these pariahs to do?"

"You don't have to know this, I'll tell you, this matter must be kept secret.

No matter who it is, even the person who came with me, you can't reveal it, otherwise, your Song family will be waiting to be destroyed. "

Feeling the undisguised killing intent of Prince Ke's housekeeper, Song Patriarch nods frantically like pounding garlic, "Don't worry, no one else will know about this matter."

"Well, in a year's time, I'll come to you. By then, I hope you've got what I want."

After saying this, Prince Ke's butler turned around and left.
