Chapter 153 Annoying “flies”!
The main hall of the Marquis of Zhenxi's Mansion.
Baili Chengfeng had just taken off his armor and changed into a casual uniform with red and black accents.
I was sitting at the table, and before I could even sit down to drink a sip of water, I heard the lady outside the hall say:
"Baili Chengfeng! You still remember to come back to this family?!"
"Crack!"
The lid of the teacup in Baili Chengfeng's hand fell on the table. He was really frightened by Wen Luoyu's shout.
Just as Baili Chengfeng stood up and was about to go to the door to greet his wife, Wen Luoyu rushed in!
"Hey, why is Madam here?"
Baili Cheng became timid and submissive, his burly figure hunched like a cooked shrimp in front of Wen Luoyu.
Wen Luoyu's face was gloomy and her tone was a little weird:
"Isn't today the military camp's regular holiday? Why are you, the prince, still handling military affairs?"
"I see you don't want to come back!"
Baili Chengfeng stepped forward and tried to pull the lady's hand. At this moment, a person appeared behind him. It was Wen Yanzhao who was following behind Wen Luoyu.
Seeing Wen Yanzhao come in, he quickly stood up straight, with a smile on his face, and said:
"Zhao'er, why are you here? Come in and sit down!"
Wen Yanzhao clasped his fists and saluted:
"Uncle, Zhao'er just arrived and came to see you with Auntie!"
Wen Luoyu's face was still full of anger:
"Baili Chengfeng, Rui'er just said that you had a gloomy face when you came back, why are you smiling now?"
Baili Chengfeng held Wen Luoyu's arm and said in a somewhat flattering tone:
"Why are you looking so gloomy? I'm so happy to see you, Madam!"
When Wen Luoyu heard this, she felt a little better:
"Really? Then tell me, what happened that made you angry?"
Baili Chengfeng pulled Wen Luoyu to sit at the tea table, poured a cup of tea and held it in front of her:
"Madam, you may not know this, but I just came back from the military camp and Captain Chen reported to me—"
"From the morning until the evening today, there have been three or four strange-looking guys wandering around our mansion..."
"Needless to say, it must be someone from Apocalypse City!"
Baili Chengfeng said this, motioning Wen Yanzhao to sit next to him.
Wen Luoyu held the teacup and replied after a moment's silence:
"Here they go again... If my father hadn't stopped me last time, I would have poisoned these bastards!"
As he spoke, Wen Luoyu turned his gaze to Wen Yanzhao:
"Zhao'er, what do you think?"
Wen Yanzhao held his chin with one hand and thought:
"Grandpa was right to stop Aunt. It would be easy for us to kill these henchmen, but it would only make Emperor Tai'an even more angry. He might even punish the Marquisate!"
"Although we are not afraid of the power of the royal family of Tianqi City, our Wen family and Baili family are not just one or two people, so we still have to take a long-term view!"
Baili Chengfeng nodded approvingly:
"Madam, Zhao'er is talking just like your father. Just calm down. Besides, Dongjun is still in the Imperial City..."
Wen Luoyu interrupted Baili Chengfeng and said:
"Zhao'er just told me that Dongjun has left Tianqi with Mr. Li and is traveling outside the city these days!"
Baili Chengfeng was shocked when he heard this:
"Oh? Why haven't I received this news yet?"
Wen Luoyu smiled and said:
"Zhao'er just praised you for being well-informed, but now it doesn't work anymore!"
Baili Chengfeng's face flushed slightly:
"Even if the news from our Marquis's inner circle in Tianqi reaches us, it will take five or six days..."
Wen Yanzhao listened to his aunt and uncle talking, and secretly formed an idea in his mind.
Emperor Tai'an was always worried about the Marquis of Zhenxi. Otherwise, he would not have summoned Baili Dongjun to Tianqi City to study at the Jixia Academy.
In addition, he had already made enemies with the Xiao royal family after rescuing Ye Dingzhi last time. If time goes on, it is possible that the imperial court will take action against these two families.
He who strikes first gains the strength, and he who strikes later will suffer. Besides, with his current level of cultivation, plus the 100,000 Wind-Breaking Army under the command of the Marquis of Zhenxi, it is not impossible for him to overthrow his Apocalypse City!
While thinking, Wen Yanzhao's eyes became firm. He stood up and said to his aunt and uncle:
"Aunt, Uncle, Zhao'er is going to help the Marquis' Mansion to drive away those annoying flies outside!"
Just as Baili Chengfeng was about to speak to stop him, Wen Yanzhao had already transformed into a thin shadow and disappeared into the main hall.
"What a swift movement! It's been less than half a year, and Zhao'er has already become so strong?"
Baili Chengfeng looked at the direction where Wen Yanzhao disappeared and murmured.
Wen Luoyu picked up a green grape with her delicate hands and said with a smile:
"Of course, there isn't a single coward in our Wen family!"
Baili Chengfeng blushed, secretly complaining in his heart:
"Humph! You're talking as if I, Baili Chengfeng, am a coward. I'm just henpecked..."
……
Outside the gate of the Marquis of Zhenxi's mansion, a clear shadow flashed by like a ghost.
The soldier guarding the door disappeared before he could see clearly.
"Eh... could it be Young Master Wen? Why did he leave without even having dinner?"
They watched Wen Yanzhao and Ling'er enter the Marquis' Mansion, but they didn't expect them to leave so soon.
At this moment, Wen Yanzhao jumped high, lightly tapped his toes, and in a moment he flew outside the marquis's mansion, to the crown of a sycamore tree more than ten feet tall on the street.
With a sweep of his eyes, he could see the entire area within three or four miles around the marquis' mansion.
In the twilight, I saw a table of people in black clothes and shorts in a two-story restaurant two miles southwest.
There were three of them in the group, and there was only a plate of snacks on the table. They kept glancing towards the gate of the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion.
"Humph, you're out here working for the Emperor and still have the leisure to drink? Today, I'll let you drink to your heart's content!"
A sinister smile appeared on Wen Yanzhao's lips, and then his figure disappeared into the twilight.
