"Master, Master!"
Chen Kegang walked to the gate of the familiar courtyard when Lichun, Liqiu and Tieniu ran up to him happily.
Looking at the three people's bright smiles, Chen Ke felt warm in his heart and a bright smile also appeared on his face.
I've been away for more than half a month, but it feels like I've been away for years.
From the moment Chen Ke entered the door, he felt comfortable and friendly about everything he saw.
This was especially true when he saw the courtyard where he had lived for more than two years and the three little followers who grew up with him.
"Master, you are finally back. We missed you so much!"
"Master, the parrot we bought this time has never died!"
"Master, Master Ma and his men brought a lot of fish, and they look so beautiful in the pond!"
"Master, let me get your bag!"
…
The three little followers chattered, and a lively atmosphere spread, spreading to the entire Chen Mansion.
The existence of the Chen Mansion in Meicheng (Beauty City) is all due to the existence of Chen Ke.
When Chen Ke was there, no one thought much of it, but as soon as Chen Ke left, the huge yard became unusually deserted.
Now, Chen Ke is back and the Chen family is alive again.
"Young Master, Young Master!" Butler Chen Xiaofu, with ink on his hands and mouth, ran over in a hurry, and couldn't stop laughing when he saw Chen Ke.
Chen Ke couldn't help but laugh and said, "Uncle Chen, you've done such a bad job with your accounts that it's even on your face."
Chen Xiaofu grinned and said, "If I could see the young master every day, I would do it even if it means getting the accounts on my forehead!"
Lichun suddenly thought of drawing a turtle on Butler Chen's forehead. She and Liqiu whispered to each other, and then burst into giggles.
How could Chen Xiaofu not hear the two people's murmurings, but he was in a good mood today and was not angry at all. He just let these two girls make fun of him.
Chen Ke suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly,
"Uncle, it's great that you came. Bring back the gifts I prepared for my father and Uncle Fu."
"Okay, okay!" Chen Xiaofu nodded with relief.
The young master has really grown up. He never forgets to bring gifts home when he goes out for trials.
I wonder how happy the old master will be if he receives the gifts prepared by the young master himself.
The group arrived at the courtyard and simply sat at the stone table under the hibiscus tree. Chen Ke asked Tie Niu to take the backpack and take out the things inside one by one.
"Tie Niu, this is yours!" Chen Ke handed a set of exquisite leather armor to Tie Niu.
The leather armor came from the weapon refining workshop in Haotian Valley. Chen Keyong exchanged it for the raw materials he collected, so he didn't spend a single ounce of silver.
But just based on the Haotian Academy brand, this set of leather armor is worth a lot of money.
Tie Niu naturally knew what good was. He took the leather armor with shining eyes and touched it lovingly, forgetting even to thank the young master.
Chen Ke took out two large bags and handed them to Lichun and Liqiu: "These are for you two. It took me a lot of effort to make them!"
Lichun and Liqiu took the bag and screamed as soon as they opened it.
The two bags were filled with feathers of various bright colors, so exquisite that they looked like jewelry!
Especially the larger feathers, which look like they are carved out of colorful jade.
The two little girls were naturally connoisseurs of what was good. After a while, their heads and bodies were filled with feathers, like two gorgeous feather dusters.
Chen Ke ignored the two girls who were acting weird, took out a sealed deerskin bag, and handed it to the housekeeper Chen Xiaofu: "Uncle Chen, this is for you."
Me too?
Chen Xiaofu smiled, thanked him quickly, and took the bag curiously.
Before he opened it, he smelled a bloody scent.
After opening it, Chen Xiaofu couldn't help but gasp. Two of them were so big and thick!
Chen Ke laughed and said, "Uncle Chen, this is the thing of the fourth-level demon beast, the Earth-Escape Demon Tiger. It is definitely a good thing!"
Chen Xiaofu understood what he meant and smiled happily.
When he saw two feather dusters coming forward curiously, he quickly closed the bag, frowned and scolded: "What are you looking at, little kids!"
What Chen Ke gave to his rich father were two stomach sacs of double-tailed flame deer. The elder of the alchemy workshop said that this thing was very effective in curing stomach problems.
The gifts given to Chen Xiaofu's father, Uncle Chen Laofu, were three wild ginsengs, all of which were more than 500 years old, and were also good things.
The most important thing is that all the things were collected by Chen Ke himself, and there is a heart behind them.
How can anyone not be happy after receiving a gift?
At this moment, a servant suddenly stepped forward and bowed to report:
"Master, housekeeper, the commander-in-chief of the city defense army, Commander Qin, wants to see you."
President Qin leads the army, and Qin opens the mountains?
Seeing Chen Ke's surprise, Chen Xiaofu hurriedly explained, "Master, after President Qin recovered from his injury, he has come to our house several times and insisted on thanking you in person. So when you came back, I immediately sent someone to notify him."
Chen Ke nodded suddenly. In fact, the one who really saved Qin Kaishan that day was the mysterious and powerful old man.
If the old man hadn't forced the black bat out of Qin Kaishan's stomach, no matter how powerful Chen Ke was, he would be helpless.
Chen Xiaofu looked at Lichun and Liqiu and said with a straight face, "Why don't you pluck all the feathers and help the young master wash and change clothes!"
Lichun and Liqiu stuck out their tongues, folded their feathers, and prepared to leave happily.
Chen Ke simply washed up, changed into casual clothes, and walked towards the reception hall accompanied by Tie Niu.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late." After entering the hall, Chen Ke politely apologized to the guest.
Qin Kaishan was wearing a green robe. His figure was still tall and strong, but he had lost a lot of weight, and his cheeks were deeply sunken.
He strode to Chen Ke, his eyes sparkling, and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Chen, I am grateful for your kindness. If you need my help in the future, just let me know!"
Chen Ke smiled faintly: "Master Qin, you are too polite. I just did my duty. The one you really want to thank is that old man."
Although Qin Kaishan is a military officer, he is vigilant as he has climbed to his position. How could he easily expose the old man's identity?
He smiled calmly and did not continue the topic. Instead, he took a small wooden box from his attendant and handed it to Chen Ke: "Mr. Chen, this is a little gift from me. Do you think it is satisfactory?"
Chen Ke was surprised for a moment. He took the box and opened it, and found three diamond-shaped tokens stacked inside.
The token is about the length of a palm, shiny black, and engraved with mysterious runes.
Faintly, a strange aura emanated from the token, and Chen Ke felt familiar with it.
Qin Kaishan said in a deep voice: "The three tokens are all made from the leg bones of the three-legged bird, the sacred bird of the demon race. After being blessed by secret techniques, they are also magic tools. Once the tokens are bound to the blood of the demon general, they will protect him for life. The tokens are alive while the people are alive, and the tokens are dead while the people are dead."
The sacred bird of the demon race, the leg bone, the demon general, will protect you for life...
Chen Ke couldn't guess what these three tokens were.
The demon general's natal domino!
