14 The humble gentleman (Part 1)(1/2)

[Huangfu Qing has a long body, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and is dressed in misty white clothes. He looks like a scholar in his mid-twenties. When he saw the villagers who had been away for a long time, he immediately raised his hands and thanked him. 】

When Chen Jian woke up, the sun had illuminated most of the room.

Chen Chan kept her eyes on the situation outside. When she heard the bed squeaking, she turned her attention back to the house.

"Finally woke up." She complained.

She has been monitoring from early morning till now.

Although the field of view is wider in the morning, the crowd is also noisier, making surveillance more difficult than in the silent night.

"Feel sorry."

Chen Jian blinked hard, stretched and got out of bed.

"How long do you plan to stay here?" Chen Chan asked.

"Just a day or two. This place is very close to the Ancient Mirror Gate. It's not safe to stay here for a long time."

Chen Chan nodded. She also believed that it would be best to leave early.

"I'm going to walk around the village today to see if I can get any useful information." Chen Jian stood up and said, "Let's go and have breakfast."

"It's lunch."

Chen Chan pointed out the window. The fiery red sun was already tilting towards the west.

"No wonder."

Chen Jian rubbed his messy stomach.

The two of them arrived at the restaurant they had visited yesterday. As Chen Jian expected, whispers about them started as soon as they appeared.

Chen Jian showed an imperceptible smile.

The waiter served a hot lunch. Not long after the two of them started eating, the discussion suddenly disappeared.

what happened?

Chen Jian realized the sudden change in the atmosphere and immediately looked around, wondering what was going on.

Soon, he discovered the source.

Most people gathered outside the restaurant, and it seemed that some highly respected people had come to the village.

"Look! It's Mr. Qianyu!"

"He's really back! Exactly five years!"

"Lao He is really lucky, and his baby girl is going to skyrocket."

From the discussion, Chen Jian roughly knew who the visitor was.

The man's name was Huangfu Qing, a well-known knight-errant in the Yunmengze area. He was good at charity and had always enjoyed a good reputation here. Five years ago, he made an agreement with a woman in this village, promising to marry her in five years.

In autumn, I will return here and recommend her to Wudang.

And now, Huangfu Qing is back.

What made the villagers most excited was that Huangfu Qing was back and it was time for Qiu Lei to get out. They all gathered around Huangfu Qing and told about Qiu Lei's evil deeds.

"Let's go? Go outside and see that Huangfu Qing." Chen Jian said, "He is a famous person in the world."

When I walked out of the restaurant, I saw the carriage surrounded by villagers.

The carriage is exquisitely crafted, with a lustrous red color and brilliant colors. The crystal clear carved jade railings highlight the elegance of the owner. Compared with the chaos and bleakness of the village, it makes people sigh.

Soon, the carriage door was pushed open by a slender jade-white hand.

Huangfu Qing has a long body, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and is dressed in misty white clothes. He looks like a scholar in his mid-twenties. When he saw the villagers who had been away for a long time, he immediately bowed his hands and thanked him.

"Dear fellow villagers, Huangfu Qing has two important things to do when he comes back this time," his clear voice immediately silenced everyone, "First, as promised five years ago, he is here to take Miss He to Wudang."

Everyone cheered.

"Second, it is to eliminate harm for the people."

The applause was even louder. Everyone knew who the "harm" was.

"But before that, I would like to invite the man over there to come to Qingmengxuan for a chat."

Huangfu Qing said and looked at Chen Jian.

"It's the foreign boy who ordered Qiu Lei yesterday..."

"Are he and Qiu Lei the same kind of raccoons? Young Master is going to take advantage of him!"

Chen Chan showed contempt and asked in a low voice: "What did you do again?"

"ah?"

Chen Jian was even more confused. Could it be that Huangfu Qing recognized him?

However, he had just planned how to establish a connection with Wulin through Huangfu Qing. Although the current situation was unexpected, the opportunity had been handed to him and he had no reason to refuse.

"Let's go."

Chen Jian thought to himself: Huangfu Qing only respects knights. Even if he harms himself, this body should be able to protect him and Chen Chan.

The crowd separated a passage, connecting them with Huangfu Qing, Huangfu Qing and Qing Mengxuan.

"Is this your female companion? Please."

Huangfuqing smiled and led them into the most luxurious building in the village - Qingmengxuan.

After sitting down, Chen Jian got straight to the point: "I wonder why Mr. Qianyu is looking for us two?"

"Of course it's to thank this young master."

Huangfu Qing stood up in person and poured tea for Chen Jian.

"Thank me?"

"Young Master's feats last night are all clear to me. You killed harm for the people, and that person happened to be my target. Why don't I thank you?" Huangfu Qing raised his glass and saw Chen Chan's shocked face, pretending to be surprised.

, "It seems that this girl doesn't know yet."

"You...killed Qiu Lei last night?" Chen Chan's eyes widened.

Chen Jian glanced at Huangfu Qing, then turned to Chen Chan: "I just don't think it's necessary to talk about it."

"You -" Chen Chan choked, "Forget it, you can tell me more specifically later. Since Qiu Lei is dead, you still want me to monitor him until noon. Hmm, I have to go back and catch up on my sleep."

"Hello!"

"Hey -" Huangfu Qing raised her hand to stop Chen Jian, "The girl is right. There is no danger now, why not take a good rest. Besides, there are me and the young master here, who dares to do anything bad to the girl?"

Chen Jian didn't know what Huangfu Qing was planning.

The action last night was very secretive and no one should know about it. How did Huangfu Qing know that he had just arrived in the village?

"What do you want to do?" Chen Jian stared at Huangfu Qing.

"I wonder what I call you, young master?"

"Chen Jian."

Because he didn't know how much Huangfu Qing knew about him, Chen Jian chose to give his real name to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Master Chen, okay." Huangfu Qing nodded. He knew that Chen Jian told the truth, "I haven't formally introduced myself yet. I, Huangfu Qing, are called 'Mr. Qianyu' by the people near Yunmengze."

He smiled slightly awkwardly.

"I heard."

"Young master's physical skills are extraordinary. What he did last night opened my eyes."

Chen Jian was startled: "Were you there last night?"

"Warriors naturally have their own unique skills when traveling in the world. How did I know what happened last night? You and I met by chance. I'm afraid I can't tell you. I hope you can understand. But Mr. Chen, don't worry. I went out of my way to meet you. This is enough.

You can see my sincerity."

"What do you know about us?"

From the villagers' voices, Chen Jian knew that Huangfu Qing had a good reputation. Since he came to visit him, he probably had no evil intentions.

"How much does Mr. Chen know about the Dragon King of the East China Sea?"

"I just heard about it," Chen Jian said, "but I don't know anything about it specifically."

"Now the East China Sea is overflowing, dark clouds are pressing down on the city, and there are evil ways causing chaos and disturbing the peace of the place." Huangfu Qing said, "As a respected knight, I have received an imperial edict, asking me to rush to the East China Sea in a few days and join other knights to defeat the Dragon King.

"

"Dragon King..."

The image of the Dragon King from the cartoons he watched as a child flashed through Chen Jian's mind.

Is he that kind of Dragon King?

"Does Mr. Chen not know about the Dragon King?" Huangfu Qing asked, turning her head.

Chen Jian shook his head.
