Chapter 56 The world is a circle(1/2)
Chen Xuan didn't say a word, just snorted coldly, and his aura suddenly released!
The gangsters who came around staggered back, unable to keep their balance!
For a moment, several people looked at each other with shock on their faces.
Chen Xuan had no intention of arguing with these little thieves. Since he had caught up with the robbery, he simply reached out and grabbed the silk and satin on the wooden shelf from the air, turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, two flustered and disheveled women suddenly ran out of the back hall.
One of them ran away in panic and ran into Chen Xuan's arms.
When she raised her head, before Chen Xuan could take a closer look, she recognized him and said anxiously.
"Shaoxia Chen?!"
"..."
"I'm Zhao Pingping! In the past, in Xiangyang City, you had to meet a young hero for help. Have you forgotten?"
"Zhao Pingping?"
Chen Xuan thought about it for a moment and before he could figure out who it was, he saw the ruthless man with the sword striding over and yelling.
"Boy! Are you looking for death?!"
"Are you talking to me?" Chen Xuan asked quietly.
The rude man didn't say anything, he picked up the nine-ring machete and struck Chen Xuan with one blow!
The light of the sword flashed before it fell, and there was only a golden sound of "ding". I didn't see clearly how Chen Xuan made his move. I saw that the machete was broken into two pieces at the sound!
The blade flew up upside down, and by chance, it cut a gash in the man's arm.
In an instant, I saw blood spurting out, and all the gangsters around were frightened and froze in place, completely losing their previous arrogance.
"Oh, I remembered, Zhao Pingping and Li Ru. You two were the concubines Lu Wende gave me as a gift."
Chen Xuan patted his forehead and smiled slightly.
"I didn't expect that you actually came to Jiangnan and started a small business. Did you open this silk and satin shop?"
"Yes, I need help from a young hero, and we two sisters happen to have some skills in silkworm weaving."
Zhao Pingping explained in a low voice and carefully looked back at the gangsters.
The smile on Chen Xuan's face faded a little. He made a move with his hand and used his inner strength to pick up the object from the air. He sucked the long knives in the hands of the gangsters to his body, and then waved it directly with his backhand!
Just hearing the muffled sound of "bang bang bang", all the seven or eight large knives flew upside down to the feet of the gangsters. In response, they were plunged into the floor, three feet into the ground, and the hilt was missing!
When they saw this battle, the gangsters looked at each other, did not dare to speak at all, and fled in despair.
The second daughter and Chen Xuan reunited after a long absence, and it happened that the gangster was making trouble. After several emotions, they couldn't help but throw themselves into Chen Xuan's arms.
Chen Xuan was holding the two girls on his left and right, and was about to chat with them.
Unexpectedly, the door slowly opened with a "squeak", and it was Dai Qisi who walked in from the door.
Chen Xuan glanced at it and was frightened, but Dai Qisi did not lose his temper. She just walked to the counter and picked up the piece of silk fabric that she had chosen before and looked at it.
Seeing that her expression was not quite right, Chen Xuan hurriedly explained.
"Mrs. Han, these two girls were supported by me in the past, and now they happen to meet..."
"Why are you explaining this to me?"
Dai Qisi looked indifferent and touched the piece of silk and said:
"Seller, this piece of silk is good. How much does it cost?"
"Since I am a friend of Chen Shaoxia, let me take this piece of silk as a thank you gift."
Zhao Pingping straightened her messy hair and said a little politely.
Originally, with Dai Qisi present, Chen Xuan should have made a clear break with the two daughters Zhao Pingping, but he had also reunited with the two daughters Zhao Pingping and Li Ru after a long separation, and wanted to ask them how they were doing.
During these words, before he could speak, Li Ru on the side spoke.
"Looking at Chen Shaoxia's journey, he must have traveled a long way to get here. Is there a place to stay?"
"I'm just going to find an inn."
"Why bother causing trouble? Just stay in the yard of my two sisters for the time being."
While talking, Li Ru led the two of them to the backyard.
Chen Xuan also wanted to see the two girls' new residence, and after a little hesitation, he followed them to take a look.
"Young hero gave us sisters a lot of money. After we came to Gusu, we first bought this yard, and then we started planning the business of a cloth shop. The front and back rooms here are quite big, and we can build a dyeing workshop in the future.
Not bad.”
"Well, it's indeed not small."
It is indeed not easy for these two girls, who are from humble backgrounds, to be able to own such a yard and do small business.
Chen Xuan sighed secretly in his heart, feeling that the tens of thousands of taels of silver he had thrown out had actually made a sound.
Sure enough, everything in this world is a cycle of cause and effect, and it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad.
If he hadn't met these two girls at the beginning, he wouldn't have this place to stay now.
"Then I will stay with you tonight, and I will change places in a few days."
"Thanks to the young hero for not giving up, I will clean up the house for the young hero first."
Li Ru turned around and left. Apparently she saw Chen Xuan and Dai Qisi walking together and wanted to leave some space for the two of them to talk.
But as a result, Chen Xuan and Dai Qisi stood in the courtyard, feeling a little embarrassed for no reason.
In the end, there was really no other way, Chen Xuan could only scratch his head and said.
"Mrs. Han, let me go and get the luggage from the carriage first, and you can sit in this yard for a while."
"Are you afraid of me?"
"Where do you start talking about this?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Dai Qisi glanced at him lightly.
"You and I didn't bring any luggage when we came to Jiangnan this time. What do you mean by saying this now, if it's not an excuse to leave?"
Seeing her saying that, Chen Xuan could only smile awkwardly.
"Mrs. Han, I'll tell you the truth. Before Xiao Zhao came here, he left me some rules that he would not let me get too close to."
"Why do you want to get close to me?"
"this……"
"Bodhi is nothing to cause trouble. If you don't have that intention, why do you pretend to be so deliberate?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment, thinking that his mother-in-law was actually more open-minded than him.
However, this incident itself was caused by Xiao Zhao, and Chen Xuan really didn't think so much about it at first.
Now that Dai Qisi had said so, Chen Xuan simply didn't show off and just brought her into the house for a brief discussion.
"Mrs. Han, I hope the matter of the Persian envoy will be resolved as soon as possible. Before that, I need to expose your identity. What do you think we should do about this matter?"
"It's quite simple. Starting tomorrow, I will find a place to hold an incense ceremony. All I need to do is spread my identity. With the prosperity of Jiangnan, the Persian Archbishop's envoys will soon come upon hearing the news."
Chen Xuan frowned slightly.
"Then you can't just find a place to set up a stall like a street stall. Since you want to release the news, it must be a bit of a gimmick. It's best to spread the news to Persia as soon as possible."
"Are you anxious?"
Dai Qisi changed the subject and suddenly glanced at him faintly.
Chen Xuan secretly felt guilty and just said.
"I'm just thinking about Mrs. Han. You must have had many difficulties in hiding your name for so many years. It would also be a good thing for you if the matter of the Persian Ming Cult can be resolved as soon as possible."
"Then it's up to you to make the arrangements."
While talking, Dai Qisi didn't seem to want to discuss the matter. She just turned around and lay on her side on the soft bed, holding her forehead with her bare hands, as if she was about to rest.
Chen Xuan originally wanted to go out and discuss with the two daughters Zhao Pingping to see if there were any wealthy families in the land of Suzhou, so that they could use the opportunity to publicize the return of the Purple Shirt Dragon King.
But before going out, he subconsciously glanced back, and felt that Dai Qisi was lying on her side with her hand on her forehead, like a drunken fairy, adding a bit of softness and immortality.
"Mrs. Han, are you okay?"
Although he didn't want to have anything to do with her, he couldn't help but ask.
Dai Qisi just waved her hands and said nothing. Chen Xuan saw that something was wrong with this posture and hurriedly stepped forward to check her pulse.
"Strange, why is this pulse so weak?"
He frowned and felt a faint cold air coming from Dai Qisi's hand.
Just when he was wondering what kind of complicated disease this was, Dai Qisi explained vaguely.
"It's okay, it's an old problem. When I was young, I jumped into a pool of freezing cold water, which hurt my lungs and caused me to suffer from serious illnesses. I just tolerated it and everything was fine."
