Chapter 1223 Those Called Chu Chen Should Not Be Disturbed
Thinking of this, the city lord Niu Babao immediately stood up and warmly helped Yang Rulang up.
He spoke politely, but in his heart he was thinking about how to get rid of Yang Rulang without revealing everything about Chu Chen.
And then, take the exquisite box from his hand.
Others might not recognize this, but he does. It's a unique treasure of the Yang family, a medicinal herb. If he takes this, taking a few more wives wouldn't be a problem.
But the words of the Observer that he should not be disturbed remained in his mind, like a sharp sword, constantly reminding him.
Chu Chen must not get into trouble, at least not in the underground city.
Moreover, you can't reveal his identity, lest he back down, and you certainly can't openly protect him yourself, lest you be trying to cover it up.
This observation makes adults create problems for themselves.
"Come, come, look at my memory. Brother Yang hasn't come for several months, has he? It's a bit too formal to ask you if there's anything wrong as soon as I arrive."
"Please come quickly."
Niu Babao warmly took Yang Rulang's hand and led him back to the pavilion in the center of the courtyard.
Then he waved behind him.
Several pretty young women served Yang Rulang tea and snacks.
This action left Yang Rulang completely bewildered. He thought to himself, "Niu Babao is someone sent down from the Heavenly Emperor's side. When has he ever been so hospitable to us people from the underground city?"
Although the Yang family is the largest family in the west of the city, they shouldn't be this enthusiastic.
He was immediately flattered and stood up.
"I am humbled, Lord City Lord. This is a divine medicine from my family. I offer it to you today as a token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
"Haha, Brother Yang, you're too kind. I'll gladly accept this."
After saying that, Niu Babao took the box and handed it directly to a maid behind him.
Immediately afterward, before Yang Rulang could even speak, he began to rattle off a string of words.
For a moment, the two chatted like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.
Half an hour passed, and Yang Rulang still couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Finally, Yang Rulang found an opportunity while drinking water at Niubabao and immediately spoke up: "Lord City Lord, I have come here because a person named Chu has appeared in the underground city..."
Just then, someone rushed in from outside: "Lord City Lord, something terrible has happened! The Eighth Madam's house is on fire..."
After hearing this, Niu Babao didn't care about Yang Rulang anymore and immediately stood up and asked nervously.
"What did you say? There's a fire?"
After saying that, he turned to look at Yang Rulang: "Oh, Brother Yang... I'm in a real bind right now, I haven't been able to entertain you properly..."
Immediately afterwards, he followed the guard and rushed out of the courtyard, disappearing from Yang Rulang's sight in an instant.
Yang Rulang was completely bewildered. What was going on?
Why is the Eighth Madam, a mere concubine, in such a hurry?
But I've been here for so long and haven't said anything. Could it be that this Niu Babao is playing a trick on me?
Since the city lord had already left, he couldn't stay any longer, so he said goodbye to his attendants and left the city lord's mansion.
On the way, he felt increasingly uneasy, as if the beef burger had been just giving him the runaround.
Is he afraid of something?
Are you afraid of Chu Chen? You've investigated him yourself. He has no connections whatsoever. The speculation that he's some kind of Heavenly Emperor's man is completely unfounded.
However, just as he reached the west side of the city, three figures suddenly appeared in his sight, making him even angrier.
That's right, Chu Chen was strolling down the street with Ji Yue and Zhu Liu following behind.
Looking at all the things in Zhu Liu's arms, you can tell that this person has really made a lot of money.
Just as he looked at Chu Chen, Chu Chen also saw him.
So he turned to Zhu Liu and asked, "Sixth Brother, look at that old man, he looks like that idiot Yang Wei!"
"Chu Chen, I'm so angry..."
In the end, Yang Rulang only vented his anger in his heart.
There was nothing he could do; he knew the Long Knife Gang members were serious and would actually take action.
After Yang Wei was humiliated, he sent people to cause trouble, but they were all beaten to a pulp.
The dignified head of the Yang family, who hadn't brought anyone with him, got beaten up by him. Where did he put his face?
Just as he was about to leave, a person suddenly appeared on his left, which made him smile and a plan came to mind.
So he quickly walked over to the man and patted him on the shoulder: "Nephew Cai, what a coincidence!"
The man turned around upon hearing the voice and exclaimed, "Oh dear, Uncle Yang, I never expected to run into you as soon as I arrived in the west of the city today!"
"Haha, Uncle didn't expect such a coincidence, that my nephew would come to my west side of the city looking for fun?"
"Oh dear... Hahaha, nothing can escape Uncle's eyes. As the saying goes, 'far away for gambling, nearby for betting,' so... Hehe, you mustn't tell my dad."
Looking at Cai Hua in front of him, Yang Rulang smiled, but in his heart he felt a surge of contempt.
He thought to himself, "It seems the Cai family has declined. The eldest son of the Cai family does nothing all day long, indulging in eating, drinking and having fun. He's not even as good as my silly son, Yang Wei."
So he said, "Nephew, I'm not trying to be mean, but you are the eldest son of the Cai family. You could have any girl you wanted. Why do you frequent places of ill repute?"
After hearing Yang Rulang's words, Cai Hua immediately understood: "Uncle, you mean, your family has unwanted girls!"
"Forehead........."
What a fucking idiot!
“My dear nephew, you are so close yet so far away.”
After saying that, Yang Rulang pointed to Ji Yue, who was standing next to Chu Chen.
Following Yang Rulang's finger, Cai Hua was completely stunned. There was such a beautiful girl in the world.
It seems I'll have to visit the western part of the city more often in the future.
"Uncle, this is your daughter!"
"Go to hell... My goodness... Nephew Cai, you're joking. Look at how old I look, how could I possibly have given birth to such a beautiful daughter?"
"Uncle, are you playing a trick on your nephew? If she's not your daughter, then..."
"Oh dear nephew... With your status as the eldest son of the Cai family, if you want it, just take it by force..."
This time, Cai Hua finally understood, completely understood.
"Uncle is right. I am the eldest son of the Cai family. Why would I frequent brothels... Haha, thank you for your guidance, Uncle!"
After saying that, he waved to his followers behind him and charged towards Chu Chen and his group.
