Chapter 542 Dog-Headed, Human-Bodied Monster Appears
Chu Chen felt a pang of sympathy upon hearing this. He cleaned and made his bed every day, and suddenly, he felt a sense of warmth.
I thought to myself, if it were someone else, the house would probably have been sold by now in ten years!
A short while later, a table full of dishes was served.
Chu Chen pulled Lao Qin to sit down, and Li Qinglian also sat down with the two women on the side!
"Old Qin, it's been ten years. How are you doing?"
"Thanks to you, young master, everything is fine. Don't let my white hair fool you, I can still do a lot of work, and even young men might not be a match for me."
"Good, it's good that you're healthy!"
After saying that, Chu Chen took out two bottles of water, placed them on the table, and poured a large glass for everyone.
"Come on, Lao Qin, Xia Mudongxue, you've all worked hard. Today, I, Chu Chen, would like to toast you all!"
As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, he picked up the cup and drank it down in one gulp.
Upon seeing this, Old Qin and the two women immediately stood up: "Respect, young master and mistress!"
After saying that, they all drank it all in one gulp!
Chu Chen watched them drink the water and thought to himself that he couldn't make them immortal, but improving their physical condition and letting them live a few more days was no problem!
The meal lasted until late at night before Chu Chen led Li Qinglian into the room!
The next day, after the group finished breakfast, someone knocked on the gate of the mansion!
Old Qin stepped forward and opened the door, only to see a eunuch standing at the door with a grin.
"Eunuch Wei, your esteemed presence is an honor! Please, invite him in!"
Chu Chen heard the sound and went out of the house into the courtyard.
"Eunuch Wei, how have you been?"
"Young Master Chu, upon hearing of your arrival in the capital, His Majesty immediately dispatched me to invite you to discuss the wedding arrangements!"
When Chu Chen heard that he was being asked to discuss the wedding, he thought, "What a joke! Isn't there a Ministry of Rites?"
To put it bluntly, it's just inviting people to a banquet, no big deal. But considering this is ancient times, there might be a lot of etiquette involved.
But since they've invited me, it would be a bit unreasonable not to go.
After all, he is the ruler of a country. Even if I am not afraid of him, I still need to show him basic respect!
"Haha, Eunuch Wei, have you had breakfast yet? Why don't you eat before you leave?"
"Young Master Chu, we've been craving your instant noodles for ages!"
Eunuch Wei no longer stood on ceremony; Chu Chen had been gone for ten years, and he hadn't tasted this stuff for ten years.
Chu Chen understood his thoughts perfectly well. He turned around and went back to his room. When he came out again, he was carrying several boxes of instant noodles.
"Let's not stand on ceremony, let's eat here, or you can take some back with you!"
"Hehe, none understands me better than Young Master Chu. Eat before you go, eat before you go!"
After saying that, he gave an order to the people behind him, and several eunuchs took the instant noodles from Chu Chen's hands and walked towards the door.
Perhaps in order to secretly transport it away, Zhou Shixun accidentally saw it, and there was no way he could get his share.
Helpless, Chu Chen gave Xia Mu an order, and Xia Mu went into the kitchen.
Then, the two of them, along with Eunuch Wei, sat in the courtyard and chatted about their recent lives.
"You mean, a monster appeared in the capital and killed people?"
"That's right, in the middle of last month, a dog-headed, human-bodied thing bit and killed an entire family of eight in the West Market!"
"They didn't catch that thing?"
"We caught it, but we killed it on the spot. However, this thing is very strange; we've never heard of it before!"
"Master Zhu went after some others, but I don't know if he caught up with them or not. It's been almost a month since he left!"
Chu Chen frowned after hearing this. A dog-headed human body? Isn't that the kind of creature that Ao Tianhai and his beast-taming family raises?
However, he did not say it to Eunuch Wei, but instead waited with a furrowed brow for him to continue.
"How powerful is this thing?"
"His strength isn't that great, around the second rank, but to ordinary people, he's at the level of a master."
"Therefore, His Majesty has made sufficient arrangements for Your Highness's wedding."
"To prepare for some possible scenarios!"
After hearing this, Chu Chen became even more certain.
It seems that the so-called beast-taming family is truly ambitious, and the world is likely to descend into chaos once again.
But in the end, it is still the ordinary people who suffer in war!
That said, the Great Xia Dynasty has truly been going through a turbulent period, with previous natural disasters, the invasion of the United States, and the Great Xia's wars against foreign powers.
Now even this so-called beast-taming family is thinking of getting involved.
The poor people of Great Xia may soon be plunged into war again.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen recalled what Ao Tianhai had said: that by holding the token and the sword, one could command the entire Beast Taming Clan.
So, should I take this step for the people of Great Xia?
But then I thought about it again, and this was just Ao Tianhai's statement, so how credible it was was unknown.
Avoid risky things if you can avoid them; observe first and then decide.
So he said to Eunuch Wei, "Since His Majesty has made arrangements, there is no need to worry unnecessarily."
While the two were chatting, Xia Mu obediently brought a breakfast to the table.
Upon seeing this, Eunuch Wei immediately shut up and turned to walk towards the dining table.
"Um, Young Master Chu, let's finish eating first, let's finish eating first!"
Seeing this, Chu Chen gave him a disdainful look, thinking to himself, "You're a pitiful person too, all you have to satisfy your appetite is this little bit of food."
It's actually quite sad to be a man!
Watching Eunuch Wei slurp up noodles with gusto, sweating profusely, he actually looked rather adorable!
A short while later, Eunuch Wei put down his chopsticks and gave Xia Mu a grateful look.
She stood up and said to Chu Chen, "Young Master Chu, let's go!"
"Okay, let's go!"
After saying that, the two left together. Chu Chen did not get into their sedan chair, but instead took Eunuch Wei and got into the off-road vehicle.
"Young Master Chu, it's been ten years. The carriage you gave His Majesty is long since unresponsive. Perhaps..."
"Okay, no problem. I'll get you a new one when I have time."
"Haha, in that case, thank you, Young Master Chu!"
Chu Chen drove, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and soon brought Eunuch Wei to the palace.
On a three-story house opposite the palace, a figure stared at Chu Chen's car, lost in thought!
"Chief, that person has appeared, riding in a similar vehicle to before, and has entered the palace!"
"Hmm? In that case, let's wait and see!"
"Even if we don't gain much from His Highness's wedding, we should still make them feel disgusted!"
After saying that, the man sat back down in his chair.
If Chu Chen were here right now, he would definitely recognize these two people as Ao Tianhai and the so-called Third Elder!
"By the way, clan leader, what should we do with the person we rescued from the palace?"
"Let's leave him alone for now. He has a great use for us. It's unrealistic for us to rule over this food with our physical bodies!"
"Besides, pretending to be a person is fucking exhausting!"
