My enemies became my companions

Chapter 17 Why did he take a concubine?
Two hundred years of true energy...

What kind of monster is this, and what kind of internal skills does he practice to have the same true energy as an ordinary person for two hundred years?

Even though the Shangqing Dao, which is good at cultivating qi, is widely rumored to have its leader with three hundred years of true qi, that is the leader of a sect, and he is also blessed with the Shangqing mental method.

"In this way, Lord Xue can fight two enemies alone. Even if we take into account his trump card, he is still a great martial arts genius."

The straightforward Wu Qingsheng said with emotion.

Song Tongze said:

"Perhaps so. Or perhaps... that expert was just trying to play a joke on me, so he let Lord Xue exchange his life for his own."

Wu Qingsheng frowned slightly, then shook his head and laughed:

“No matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to figure out a result.

The Ming and Dark Sect came from the Western Regions and had been established in China for hundreds of years. It was not surprising that there was a master who was rare in the world.

Try to think positively. At least now that the Saint is dead and the Demon Cult has suffered heavy losses, this expert won't dare to act rashly."

After hearing this, Song Tong smiled bitterly and nodded:
"Master Wu is right."

There were hurried footsteps coming from the yamen.

A guard rushed in and reported loudly:

"Master, Elder Lin sent someone to ask for a meeting."

Wu Qingsheng frowned slightly and muttered:

“This Elder Lin is really well-informed.

We found out about the incident at the East Factory so quickly."

Then he said loudly:

"Send someone over."

Before long, a young scholar in a silk Confucian robe came in and bowed to Wu Qingsheng.

Seeing the newcomer, Wu Qingsheng was surprised.
"I never thought that Mr. Lin would come to visit me personally."

Even though he had no compliments for Lord Lin and even felt contempt for him, Wu Qingsheng still stood up to return the greeting.

There is no other reason, the identity of Lin Yan, the second son of the Lin family, is obvious.

"Sorry to bother you. My father heard about this horrific incident, so he sent me to investigate."

Lin Yan said politely.

Song Tong said quickly:
"I have sent someone to inform you."

Lin Yan turned to Song Tongdao:
"My father has already met the people from the East Factory, but..."

The conversation stopped here. Both people present understood clearly that the so-called investigation was just a superficial excuse.

Lin Yan slowly said:
"It's just that the position of the East Factory Supervisor is vacant. Do you have any candidates to take over temporarily?"

Wu Qingsheng frowned and said:

"This will naturally be decided by the Heavenly Family."

No wonder Lin Yan was sent here specially.

Xue Youge, the supervisor of the East Depot, had close contacts with the Lin family during his lifetime. Now that the Lin family heard of Xue Youge's death and the power vacancy, they naturally planned to take control of the situation as soon as possible to prevent the East Depot from breaking away from the Lin family.

Lin Yan replied politely:
“Even if it’s the royal family, the cabinet must first draft a bill.

My father said that since we are all servants of the Heavenly Family, we should consult each other in advance and have the same mind.

Wu Qingsheng replied seamlessly:

"If that's the case, then let Deputy Governor Song take over temporarily until the Tian family selects the next Governor."

Lin Yan glanced at Song Tong.

Song Tong was shocked and realized the threat in the look, so he quickly declined.

Lin Yan turned around and said:
“Since Deputy Governor Song has sternly refused, my father does have a candidate.

"Chen Yi, the captain of the West Factory, has made great contributions in this incident. Why not promote him to the rank of captain and then temporarily take over the position of the supervisor of the East Factory?"

Wu Qingsheng frowned.
"But there is only one thousand households."

However, Song Tong also advised:

"It is said that no one saw Captain Min in this incident, so we should report and demote him to the position of Chief of the East Factory, and give the position of Captain Chen to Captain.

He is deeply trusted by Elder Lin, and he is only... acting as the supervisor temporarily. Her Majesty the Queen Mother will have to send someone from the Imperial Household Department over in the future."

After hearing this, Wu Qingsheng kept thinking about it and was somewhat shaken.

Finally, he said slowly:

"Not impossible."

This was not only because of the pressure from the Lin Mansion, but also because he discovered that the West Factory Captain seemed to be doing things a little differently than before.

I originally thought that Chen Yi was a corrupt person, otherwise he would not have had such close contacts with the Lin family.

However, even when the head of the East Depot warned him against it and sent Captain Li to bully and oppress him, he still stood up to defend the East Depot's reputation. He did not add insult to injury or slander its integrity.

Thinking of this, Wu Qingsheng couldn't help but look sideways.

Perhaps, this person is indeed a righteous man, and the evil things he did before were just conspired and forbeared, with minor flaws but no major ones compromised, just for the purpose of bringing order to the capital one day.

To be lurking like this really means...having great ambitions.

As for the demon cult master and Chen Yi, Governor Wu did not associate them together.

If there was any doubt before, it disappeared completely after hearing Song Tong's words.

How could a centurion of the Western Factory have two hundred years of true energy?
Even if it is a martial arts family, a centurion at this age can only be a seventh rank at most.

"you're awake?"

Chen Yi looked at Yin Tingxue.

She rubbed her eyes, and in the flickering light, she saw the man in front of the bed, and she subconsciously froze.

Chen Yi looked at her with a sinister smile.
"You know you're wrong?"

Yin Tingxue lowered her eyes and said in a low voice:
"Know…"

Chen Yi reached out his hand, held up her head, and asked again:
"Will you dare to run away again in the future?"

The daughter of King Xiang was silent and pondered.

Chen Yi looked at her sinisterly, causing her to shiver.

"If you run away again next time, I will not only possess you, but also burn down the Yintai Temple."

Yin Tingxue looked at him in shock, both frightened and frightened, and then lowered her eyes.

"I don't dare..."

After a long while, she shook her head and said in a trembling voice:
"I will always serve you."

Chen Yi relaxed his brows.
After a while, he said:

"The Saint of the Demon Cult is dead."

The daughter of King Xiang was stunned.

Chen Yi stretched out his hand and scratched her chin like a cat, saying:

"Let's put all the previous things behind us."

Yin Tingxue listened, she didn't quite understand what this meant, and said softly:
"What is this nonsense?"

Chen Yi smiled and didn't answer.

The girl turned her face to the side, grabbed his sleeve, stretched her neck and asked:

"What on earth are you talking about?"

Chen Yi thought about it and said:
"After this battle, the evil cult in the capital was completely wiped out. There are no more evil cult remnants, and no one will think of taking you back.

Moreover, I found a corpse to disguise as you. In the eyes of everyone, the Saint is dead, and the matter is over."

Yin Tingxue listened silently. She didn't like the Demonic Cult, and considering her mother's last words before her death, she didn't want to be a saint.

But even so, she frowned slightly, pursed her lips, and lowered her eyes in despair, finally realizing that she really had no way out.

No more, nothing left.

A bitter smile appeared on her little face. She turned around, her eyes red, and curled up on the bed weakly and helplessly, feeling a slight pain in her shoulder from time to time.

Anyway...the death contract has been signed.

Anyway...I just want to have a way out...

I am really a concubine.
Belongs entirely to the husband's family, with no concubines from the mother's family.

Yin Tingxue thought resignedly and curled up into a ball. She heard the sound of undressing behind her and a big hand pressed on her waist. It turned out that Chen Yi climbed onto the bed and hugged her.

The daughter of King Xiang stepped back toward the wall, but Chen Yi also stepped forward and hugged her to prevent her from escaping.

Yin Tingxue gritted her teeth and then closed her eyes sadly. She had disobeyed him, so she was bullied and forced to do shameful things against her will. She consoled herself:

Let him be...

Anyway, this evil guy doesn't like women, not at all!
She emphasized this in her mind and made herself believe it.

But she didn't think about it, nor did she dare to think about it...

If he doesn't like women, why does he take concubines?
