Chapter 48 - The Idle Lord

The humanoid body is more than two meters long, but it drags a green snake tail.

The monster's body is covered with scales like broken glass, forming a staggered light and shadow.

Each scale is a fragment of the soul of a human race strongman.

Each scale is a medal of Cobra, but a shame for the human race.

Liu Guanyuan looked at the disordered light and shadow and said in a deep voice:

"Cobra, the King of Shu has arrived at the academy, but the ghost king of the demon race you mentioned has not appeared yet!"

Cobra sat on the water, shaking his body, and gorgeous light and shadow were projected from the water vapor, changing unpredictably.

"The seven ghost kings of the Sun God Clan are all top-level existences. If he doesn't want you to see him, you won't see him even if he walks by you!"

In a short paragraph, there is a mixture of male and female voices, old voices, and laughter, which is terrifying and weird.

Liu Guanyuan said solemnly:

"You said you would help us, how can we find him?"

Mirror Snake said lazily:

"Wait until you really get the clue of the Ghost King, then come to me!"

Mirror Snake is one of the top ten killers in Kunpeng Continent in the past thousand years. How arrogant is his temperament?

In the eyes of Mirror Snake, probably only the existence of the Ghost King is really worth his attention.

Liu Guanyuan frowned slightly. Although he was dissatisfied, he could do nothing about it.

Except for a name, they knew almost nothing about the Ghost King.

In the case of knowing nothing, it is indeed a bit difficult to seek the help of Mirror Snake.

However, the day after tomorrow, His Royal Highness the King of Shu will give a speech in the auditorium of the academy.

The Ghost King is likely to work together with the demon spies of the academy to assassinate the King of Shu.

Liu Guanyuan is fully responsible for the safety of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and the pressure is not ordinary.

Seeing that Liu Guanyuan had not left yet, the cobra said impatiently:

"Anyway, remember this: if the ghost king wants to make a move, it must be the blind spot of your human race."

After speaking, the cobra's tail coiled up, and its body slowly sank to the bottom of the pool.

The blind spot of the human race?

Liu Guanyuan was thoughtful.

He pointed his finger forward, and the solidified waterfall resumed flowing again.

Amid the deafening roar, the steaming water vapor completely submerged the pool.

  ...

Dangdang, start grabbing, dangdang, start grabbing.

In front of the Chen Mansion, lights and decorations, drums and music sounded, and it was a lively scene.

When Chen Ke got off the carriage, the crowd suddenly cheered.

Two strings of firecrackers crackled, and the red fragments flew everywhere.

Butler Chen Xiaofu, with his servants and servants, stood in neat and solemn rows at the bottom of the steps, and bowed at the same time:

"Greetings, my lord!"

Chen Ke was very happy. He took the basket handed over by Tie Niu and shouted,

"Reward!"

"Good luck to the Lord!"

"Good luck to the Young Master!"

Lichun and Liqiu were the most active.

They rushed forward and took the red envelopes handed over by the Young Master with a smile.

Since they heard the news that the Chen family was falsely accused, they haven't smiled for a few days. They are very scared.

Not only them, but other people in the mansion are also in a state of panic.

Treason is a crime that will lead to the confiscation of property and execution. All nine clans will be implicated, so naturally they will not be much better off.

But now it's good. It was a false alarm, and the Chen family is fine.

The Young Master has transformed himself into a prominent Viscount of the Empire.

The Chen family still has a long way to go in the future!

Everyone was in full swing and happily took the red envelopes from the Young Master. Auspicious words were flying everywhere, and no one was repeated.

After a while, the red envelopes in the baskets were distributed, and everyone left with a smile on their faces.

After everyone left, Chen Ke handed the last red envelope to Chen Xiaofu, and couldn't help asking,

"Uncle Chen, did you know that my father planned all this?"

Chen Xiaofu smiled and said,

"I don't know much, but I didn't expect that the master could get a title for the young master."

In the Great Xia Dynasty, there are five levels of titles: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron.

In addition, there are lords, but lords are in the form of rewards and only have symbolic significance, so they are not among the five levels of titles.

In other words, Chen Ke's viscount is only the second to last.

And the viscount is divided into six levels, and the fifth level is only a little higher than the lowest level six.

So Chen Ke, the viscount, has no title, no fiefdom, but only some privileges in his identity.

Of course, Chen Ke does not have to bear any obligations. To put it bluntly, he is just an idle lord.

After listening to Chen Xiaofu's explanation, Chen Ke suddenly realized.

He was originally a leisurely person, and the leisurely title was just right for him.

What's the point of having a title? Others call me Eunuch Chen, call me a university scumbag, call me the little prince in the bellyband. Have you ever seen me get angry with anyone?

What's the point of having a fiefdom? The output is not proportional to the energy invested, and it is troublesome to manage.

Therefore, the title of viscount is enough.

In this way, he is considered a member of the nobility, and the Chen family is considered a noble family.

The huge family business of the Chen family is equivalent to an extra layer of protection.

This layer of protection is the greatest significance of this title.

The wedding banquet at the Chen Mansion lasted until late at night.

Ma Xiaoshu and the animals in the special class drank too much and staggered from side to side.

Chen Xiaofu sent someone to arrange a carriage to send those who could go back, and those who couldn't go back were placed in the unused guest rooms.

Chen Ke was also drunk, and was carried all the way back to the courtyard by Tie Niu and thrown on the bed.

A few rooms away, Ding San and Ding Si listened to Chen Ke tossing and turning on the bed and talking drunkenly, feeling both relieved and uneasy.

What was gratifying was that Chen Ke had never touched the package in the woodshed.

What was uneasy was that the day after tomorrow was the day when the King of Shu would give a speech at the academy,

and everything seemed too peaceful, so peaceful that it was a little abnormal.

Not only was the academy peaceful, but the entire city was unusually peaceful.

Since the monster tribe attacked the city, every night, in the secret alleys of Meicheng and in the dense forests and canyons outside the city,

the spies of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion would always engage in a fierce secret battle with the spies of the monster tribe.

This has become the norm.

However, in the past few days, the spies of the monster tribe seemed to have disappeared overnight, and the whole city was calm.

What kind of storm is brewing behind this calm?

From the officials and generals of Meicheng to the ordinary soldiers, they all fell into anxiety because of the arrival of the King of Shu.

The members of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion are under unimaginable pressure, and their nerves are almost broken.

Ding San and Ding Si couldn't help but feel envious when they heard Chen Ke snoring.

Sure enough, ignorance is also a kind of happiness.

The two didn't know at all that Chen Ke was so happy that he was about to cry.

In front of his bed, a transparent figure was floating!

Although he closed his eyes tightly, he couldn't stop the blood-red dialog box flashing in the window, as well as the rapid alarm.

Beep, beep!
