Chapter 281
?
In the blink of an eye, the next morning, Ye Chen went to the backyard to bask in the sun, and saw an imposing man standing in the yard.
When Ye Chen quickly approached that imposing man, he quickly left the backyard, walking as if he was floating.
Ye Chen frowned, he felt that the man just now was probably Dongfang Zhuo, but why did he leave without saying a word.
Ye Chen glanced around, even in the daytime, the Dongfang Mansion was still deserted, and he thought he was in a down-and-out family.
Suddenly, Ye Chen felt a little dizzy, and just as he closed his eyes, he heard footsteps appearing beside him.
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked left and right. Two masked men had surrounded him, with knives in their hands, and murderous looks in their eyes.
The corner of Ye Chen's mouth twitched. It's really strange that these two people dared to break into the Dongfang Mansion in broad daylight. The guards of the Dongfang Mansion didn't even notice.
The two masked men were circling around Ye Chen. Someone offered them a lot of money to take off Ye Chen's head, and they readily accepted.
Although Ye Chen's status is special, under the lure of money, the two masked men have completely gone all out.
Suddenly, the two masked men flicked their sleeves at the same time, and puffs of black smoke rushed towards Ye Chen, making Ye Chen dizzy for a while.
The two masked men seized the opportunity and slashed at Ye Chen with the knives in their hands. The murderous aura had intensified to overwhelming.
At this time, the Heavenly Soul Sword rushed out from the scabbard on Ye Chen's back, and the sword's aura was vertical and horizontal, making the two masked men back again and again.
The Heavenly Soul Sword fluttered back and forth beside Ye Chen, and the black smoke was completely shattered, but Ye Chen couldn't wake up for a while.
Ye Chen's vision was blurred, and he could only vaguely see the two masked men rushing towards him again, with extremely fierce eyes.
The Heavenly Soul Sword faced up to the difficulties, and after a slash, the two masked men still couldn't get close to Ye Chen, they stomped their feet in anger.
The two masked men exchanged glances with each other, and they made up their minds that they would try to stimulate Ye Chen and make him lose his mind.
"Surnamed Ye, you useless guy, what are you capable of just relying on a sword!"
"Yeah, don't you just want to continue being a turtle!"
The corners of Ye Chen's mouth twitched. Although his consciousness was a little fuzzy, those mocking voices still couldn't escape his ears.
Under Ye Chen's signal, the Heavenly Soul Sword returned to his hand. He held the Heavenly Soul Sword tightly, and a wave of heat rushed into his body.
Just as Ye Chen wanted to rush forward, he found that his footsteps were a little fluttering. The influence of the black smoke had not dissipated, so he couldn't move freely.
The two masked men laughed even more wildly when they saw this, and they approached Ye Chen step by step, raising the gleaming knives in their hands.
"Ah! Go to hell!"
"Dangdang!"
Ye Chen swung the Heavenly Soul Sword to his heart's content, and the sword energy roared out domineeringly, and the two masked men who rushed towards him were overturned.
After the two masked men fell to the ground, they vomited blood continuously, and finally closed their eyes, and the knives in their hands rolled to the side.
Although Ye Chen's consciousness is a bit fuzzy, his strong willpower is still there, and the Heavenly Soul Sword can understand Ye Chen's thoughts.
Ye Chen stabbed the Heavenly Soul Sword into the ground to stabilize his footsteps. He still needs time to fully wake up.
"Come on! Someone broke in!"
When several guards from the Dongfang Mansion rushed into the backyard, they saw two masked men lying in a pool of blood, no longer breathing.
None of them thought that someone would dare to break into the Dongfang Mansion. Fortunately, Ye Chen was not injured, otherwise they would have to bear the blame.
After a while, Ye Chen finally regained his senses. He left Dongfang Mansion and walked quickly to the inn where Du Zhigang was.
Dongfang Mansion is not a safe place, there must be someone playing dirty tricks.
On the way to the inn, Ye Chen always felt that someone was following him, so he turned several corners before reaching the inn.
Du Zhigang has been waiting in the inn for a long time, what is Dongfang Mansion, Du Zhigang doesn't think he can sleep well in Dongfang Mansion.
After Ye Chen told Du Zhigang what he saw and heard in Dongfang Mansion, Du Zhigang frowned and let out a long sigh.
Whether Dongfang Jue or Dongfang Ke is a good person, he can't tell at this time, or maybe neither of them is a good person.
Du Zhigang wanted Tianma to accompany Ye Chen, but Ye Chen refused, so Du Zhigang had no choice but to give up the idea.
After half an hour, Ye Chen left the inn, and turned several corners to return to Dongfang Mansion, but was stopped by a middle-aged man.
Facing the kind invitation of the middle-aged man, Ye Chen couldn't refuse, he followed the middle-aged man's footsteps through the crowded crowd.
Finally, the middle-aged man brought Ye Chen into the City Lord's Mansion of Ziyang City, and it seemed that Lu Qingqiu, the City Lord of Ziyang City, couldn't bear his temper anymore.
The City Lord's Mansion of Ziyang City is not very big. After a while, Ye Chen stood in front of the study and took a look inside.
When Ye Chen turned his head, the middle-aged man had already gone far away. It seemed that the identity of the middle-aged man was quite special.
Ye Chen gently knocked on the door of the study, and the door opened, and Lu Qingqiu, the lord of Ziyang City, was standing in the study.
Lu Qingqiu, the lord of Ziyang City, looks like he is in his fifties, his temples are a little gray, but his eyes are very bright.
Ye Chen walked into the study quickly, and just stopped, the door of the study was closed, but there was still plenty of light in the study.
Ye Chen clasped his fists to salute Lu Qingqiu. Lu Qingqiu is a good city lord who managed Ziyang City in an orderly manner.
Lu Qingqiu slightly raised his hand to signal Ye Chen that there is no need to be polite, he has already checked Ye Chen's background clearly.
Although Ye Chen already lived in the Dongfang Mansion, Lu Qingqiu didn't think Ye Chen was already a member of the Dongfang Family.
Lu Qingqiu had a premonition that Ye Chen's appearance would definitely disrupt the balance of Ziyang City, and the storm was not far away from him.
Lu Qingqiu is not afraid of the storm, he was able to gain a firm foothold in Ziyang City not because of the favorable weather in Ziyang City.
Lu Qingqiu signaled Ye Chen to sit down and talk, but Ye Chen still thought it would be better to stand, he still didn't know what Lu Qingqiu wanted to say to him.
Ye Chen didn't see ambition in Lu Qingqiu. Compared to Lu Banshan, Lu Qingqiu only wanted to live well for the rest of his life.
It is indeed a good thing that Ziyang City has such a city lord. At present, Lu Qingqiu has no intention of competing for power with the Dongfang family.
The royal family of the Eastern Xia Kingdom will definitely let Lu Qingqiu deal with the Dongfang family, but Lu Qingqiu is not the kind of person who has no opinions at all.
There were rumors that Lu Qingqiu even wanted to marry his precious daughter to Dongfang Jue in order to make the relationship between the two families more stable.
