Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 1097 I Don’t Want to Be the Governor Anymore

Don't tell Zhu Wuneng and Gao Cuilan that they have a martial soul fusion skill, that doesn't make sense :)

From Gao Cuilan being set as the gold and silver ring martial spirit, to her promotion to the dragon and phoenix gold and silver ring, and then merging with it, all were set a long time ago.

……

At that time, the Duke's Mansion was in an uproar. Zhu Yanfeng, Zhu Hefeng, Zhu Changyun and other members of the Zhu family rushed over upon hearing the news and were extremely happy.

I didn’t expect this. I never expected this.

Zhu Yanfeng was very happy with Gao Cuilan and made the decision on the spot.

He had always liked Gao Cuilan, and now he regarded her as his nephew's wife.

Nonsense, in order to master the martial soul fusion technique, both parties must have a mutual understanding, so what can achieve this better than a husband and wife relationship?

Zhu Wuneng is the hope and ambition of the Zhu family. They value him far more than Zhu Wuxin and others.

The higher Zhu Wuneng's achievements are, the more stable the Zhu family's status will be and the smoother the development of his martial soul will be.

The next day, the two brothers Zhu Yanfeng and Zhu Hefeng went to Gao's house with gifts.

Although it's not a formal marriage certificate, this is the meaning.

After all, time is short, and issuing a marriage certificate involves a cumbersome formal process, but both parties can confirm their relationship in this way first.

Gao Ying and the Gao family were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

This thigh is considered to be hugged tightly.

The next day, Gao Yunpeng and Chief Steward Zhuang Yucheng took Gao Cuilan into the mountains to hunt soul rings.

In this regard, Chen Xiaojun also wanted to know what kind of legendary story the two of them would write in this magnificent world.

……

Chen Xiaojun turned around and said to Zhu Wuneng seriously: "When Cuilan comes back, you need to strengthen your cooperation and fight more."

"You can choose to find someone to spar with in the mansion, or you can go to the Great Soul Arena to form a doubles match."

After all, there are many soul masters in the mansion, but they can only be used for training.

When you go to the Great Soul Fighting Arena, although you cannot show your soul fusion skills, you can still develop tacit understanding by actually fighting.

After hearing this, Zhu Wuneng pouted reluctantly and responded, "Oh."

Chen Xiaojun glared at him and reminded him in a serious tone: "It is your blessing in this life to have such a fate with Cuilan."

Chen Xiaojun's words were indeed heartfelt, but he was also a little confused. In his previous life, Zhu Bajie was not so timid towards Miss Gao.

That was a sudden pounce.

For some reason, Zhu Wuneng was a little resistant to this wave, or rather, after coming back from the mountains, he still cared about her, but his behavior was the same as before, and he seemed to be distancing himself from Gao Cuilan.

At this point, everyone was a little confused and didn't understand.

Zhu Wuneng lowered his head due to being scolded, and he stammered without saying a word.

Finally, he still muttered quietly: "I haven't seen you and Sister Xiaoyi come to practice cooperation."

Chen Xiaojun had sharp ears and heard his muttering immediately.

He suddenly gave Zhu Wuneng a big bidou, and raised his voice a few notes: "What did you say?"

Zhu Wuneng was startled and quickly waved his hands to deny: "Nothing, nothing."

Chen Xiaojun looked at him, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He sighed and asked, "How many days has Xiaoyi been gone?"

Zhu Wuneng learned his lesson this time and quickly replied, "Three days, Master. You've asked me several times. It's not like you to be so sad."

"Don't worry, with Grandpa Meng and Grandpa Dushefu here, nothing will happen to Sister Xiaoyi."

……

When Chen Xiaojun walked into the study in the backyard, a faint scent of tea and ink came towards him.

In the study, Chen Cong and Xue Churan had already sat down leisurely, drinking tea and chatting, while Zhu Yanfeng stood quietly by the side, his eyes following their conversation.

Chen Xiaojun's sudden arrival caused a slight disturbance in the peaceful atmosphere.

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly regained his composure. After saluting the three people present, he naturally sat down in the seat below.

Xue Churan put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Chen Xiaojun softly, and said calmly: "Xiaojun, I came here this time because I want to talk to you about a few things."

"Especially the attack on the Tianlang Forging Market this time," Xue Churan continued, "Sister Chu Xin said that you had judged that this matter would eventually involve the court. Now it seems that it is just as you expected."

Chen Xiaojun waved his hand modestly, "Grandma Chu Ran, you are too kind. I wonder if something unexpected happened in the court?"

When Xue Churan heard the name "Grandma Churan", she couldn't help but smile happily.

She nodded affirmatively to Chen Xiaojun, "You are handling it very well now. There is no problem in our Southern Five Counties anymore."

"But in the court, we are still a step behind."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"However, because of your timely reminder, we had time to respond, so the impact was much smaller."

Chen Xiaojun breathed a sigh of relief, "Then Grandma Chu Ran, do you feel tired?"

Xue Churan smiled calmly, raised her chin slightly, and said confidently: "How is it possible? Sister Chu Xin and I have been in the court for many years, how can we be so easily influenced."

She then explained in detail the debate in the court regarding the attack on the Sirius Forge Market.

She took a sip of tea and continued, "The Sirius Forging Market lost a lot of military supplies. This is indeed a serious matter."

"It can be considered as the responsibility of Sister Chu Xin, the military chief, and it can also be attributed to me, the deputy governor of the military (supply) dispatch of the Southern Five Counties."

"However," she changed the subject, "They can't shake Sister Chu Xin's position now, so they focus their attacks on me."

She took a deep breath and said slowly: "For me, this matter is not big or small, but it can't be taken lightly either."

"Just like what you said, Xiaojun, there are cases of wolf robberies every year on the mainland. This is not uncommon."

"But the point of the other party's attack is that the Sirius Forging Market is a centralized channel for military supplies, and it was robbed. This is a very uncomfortable thing when I am about to be promoted to Governor Fasno."

Xue Churan sighed softly and continued, "Right now our people and the other side are arguing fiercely in the court, arguing back and forth, trying to find a solution."

Chen Xiaojun listened carefully: "Their purpose is to use this incident to put pressure on you. What is their specific purpose?"

Xue Churan: "Last time you suggested that I take over the post of Governor and move the Governor's Office to Chang'an City, and we also wanted to replace the Lord Mayor of Chang'an with our man."

"Now the other party not only wants the position of Chang'an City Lord, but also does not want the Governor's Office to move here."

At this time, he raised his head, looked into Xue Churan's eyes, and asked, "Grandma Churan, what do you mean?"

Xue Churan pondered for a moment, then said, "I do have some ideas, but I'd like to hear your suggestions first."

……

Chen Xiaojun fell into deep thought, and the whole person became silent, and the atmosphere around him became solemn.

His fingers tapped unconsciously on the armrest, making a rhythmic sound, neither fast nor slow.

Several people around stared at him, but no one spoke to disturb him.

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, with only the sound of Chen Xiaojun's fingers tapping the armrest echoing in the air.

After a long time, he took a sip of the Xiangxue Lingcha, and the tea seemed to bring him a sense of tranquility and resolution.

Finally, he spoke calmly, and every word seemed to be carefully considered: "Grandma Chu Ran, how about we stop being the governor?"
