The night falls!
Chen Nan followed Tuoba Yun's men to the Elegant Abode!
This is the most prosperous restaurant in Baidi City!
Everyone who enters and exits here is a dignitary, or a young master from a wealthy family!
Chen Nan quite liked this!
When treating someone, one should be generous and not afraid of others knowing!
"Young Master, Mr. Chen has arrived!"
After entering a private room, the old man bowed to Tuoba Yun!
At this moment, Chen Nan noticed Tuoba Yun!
This man was two meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a broad back and a sturdy build!
At over thirty years old, he looked to be in his prime!
"Greetings, Imperial Son-in-law!"
Chen Nan bowed slightly!
He met Tuoba Yun considering him merely the son-in-law of the Prince of Wu's mansion, not the Grand Marshal!
"Mr. Chen need not be so formal, please sit, we can eat and chat!" Tuoba Yun said with a smile, then ordered the servants to serve the dishes!
A moment later, a sumptuous meal was placed on the table!
Then Tuoba Yun dismissed everyone!
Perhaps due to his military background, Tuoba Yun was very straightforward. He downed two bowls of strong liquor in quick succession and then said, "Mr. Chen, there's no need to guess why I invited you. I, Tuoba Yun, am a straightforward person, and I say what I mean!"
"I've heard you are incredibly valiant, known as the indestructible Vajra. I want to ask if you've taken some sort of medicine?"
"If so, could you give me some?"
Chen Nan looked puzzled, "What does Imperial Son-in-law mean by this?"
Tuoba Yun said, "A friend of mine suffered a reversal of his true qi during his cultivation years ago, which has rendered him unable to be like a normal man!"
"As a brother, I deeply empathize with him!"
"I've been helping him search for a remedy over the years, but I haven't found a suitable medicine for him!"
Chen Nan's lips twitched inwardly!
Is this friend perhaps yourself?
You can even invent a friend and then claim to be straightforward?
Thinking of this, Chen Nan said, "I sympathize with Imperial Son-in-law's friend, but such matters depend on personal talent. Medicine is of no use!"
"Is there truly no way?" Tuoba Yun looked full of unwillingness!
He had a beautiful wife but couldn't consummate the marriage, and he felt more distressed than words could express!
Chen Nan said, "I do have a way that might make Imperial Son-in-law's friend feel a little better!"
Tuoba Yun's eyes lit up, "I'd be eager to hear it!"
Chen Nan said, "Tell your friend to avoid contact with the opposite sex. If possible, it would be best for him to enter the palace, as the living environment there can put great pressure on him!"
"If he goes to a place where there are only men, he will surely forget what happened to him!"
Tuoba Yun almost overturned the table!
I'm the Grand Marshal of the Great Yan Dynasty!
And you're telling me to go into the palace and become a eunuch?
Knock, knock, knock!
At this moment!
There was a knock on the door from outside!
"Scram!"
Tuoba Yun roared!
He was in a foul mood right now!
He didn't want to be disturbed!
But!
The door was pushed open!
Then a tall, handsome young man entered, holding a wine cup, and smiled, "Who has angered my brother-in-law so much?"
"It's Elder Brother!" Seeing Shen Cong, Tuoba Yun quickly rose to salute!
He then looked at Chen Nan, who was dumbfounded, and said, "Mr. Chen, this is the eldest son of the Prince of Wu's mansion, the current commander of the City Defense Battalion, Shen Cong!"
"Your humble servant Chen Nan, greets His Highness the First Prince!" Chen Nan's face showed no outward emotion, but his heart was churning like a stormy sea!
Although this was his first time meeting Shen Cong!
He felt a sense of familiarity!
Yes!
This person's appearance was very similar to Lu Zheng, who had possessed him!
They looked exactly alike!
This wasn't the most crucial part!
The most crucial part was that Lu Zheng did have a son, who had disappeared eighty years ago!
"Could Shen Cong be Lu Zheng's son?"
Chen Nan knew that one could not judge a cultivator's actual age by their appearance!
"Are you the strategist in Fourth Prince's residence?" Shen Cong looked at Chen Nan with a half-smile. This person appeared honest and simple, but who would have thought he would be so brave?
Chen Nan: "Indeed, this humble servant is!"
Shen Cong acknowledged with a subtle hum, "I heard that my sister-in-law was hosting guests here, so I thought I'd come to say hello. I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be here too. Am I disturbing you?"
"If you don't mind, shall we have a few drinks together?"
Tuoba Yun said, "It would be great if Elder Brother could come!"
Unexpectedly, Shen Cong shook his head, "Forget it, forget it. Mr. Chen is a strategist in Fourth Prince's residence. If I get too close to him, it will harm Mr. Chen!"
This was a strategy of feigned retreat to advance!
No matter who it was, refusing Shen Cong at this moment would seem very foolish!
Chen Nan certainly wouldn't do that, he smiled and said, "Your Highness the First Prince is too kind. We are just meeting by chance, and having a meal and drinks together is nothing improper!"
"Besides, Fourth Prince is naturally open-minded and wouldn't suspect Chen Nan for such a trifle!"
He was certain!
Shen Cong was one hundred percent Lu Zheng's son!
Yes!
He had now found a way to eliminate You Jin!
And to sow discord between Shen Cong and the Prince of Wu!
Before that, he had to build a good relationship with Shen Cong!
Afterward, the three sat together, talking only of pleasantries, not state affairs!
"Brother Chen, actually, the pleasure houses in the capital, Piaoxiang Courtyard only ranks second. There are places more interesting than Piaoxiang Courtyard!" After a few rounds of drinks, Shen Cong also opened up!
Tuoba Yun wanted to leave···
Although he enjoyed such things, he was unable to, which only increased his sadness!
"Are there any places in the capital that can compare to Piaoxiang Courtyard?" Chen Nan looked surprised. To be fair, the women in Piaoxiang Courtyard were all quite beautiful!
Although he didn't intend to go a second time, he was a little curious to hear that there were places more interesting than Piaoxiang Courtyard!
En!
Pure curiosity!
Even if he were to visit such a place one day, it would be with the mindset of broadening his horizons!
Shen Cong grinned, "There is indeed a place that can compare to Piaoxiang Courtyard, and that place is called the Ten Thousand Monster Cave!"
"Ten Thousand Monster Cave?" Chen Nan frowned, this place did not sound like a pleasure house at all!
Shen Cong sighed, "Actually... humans are not that fun. The fun ones are the demonic beasts that have cultivated to a certain level and can transform into human form!"
"They are far more interesting than humans!"
"For example, a fox that has cultivated into a human form, with a pristine white tail sticking out... tsk tsk tsk!"
"Interesting!"
"Truly interesting!"
Chen Nan looked full of admiration, "Chen Nan considers himself a frequent visitor to pleasure houses, but in this regard, I cannot compare to His Highness the First Prince. I am impressed, deeply impressed!"
Shen Cong gave him a knowing look, "Would you like me to take you to see the world?"
Hearing this!
Tuoba Yun's heart trembled violently!
He knew that Shen Cong had definitely not come here by chance!
He was very likely here for Chen Nan!
If Chen Nan agreed to Shen Cong's proposal at this moment, he would undoubtedly fall into his trap!
In that case, Shen Lang would surely become dissatisfied with him!
Yes, Shen Cong's goal was to sow discord between the two!
Chen Nan hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but say, "Wouldn't that be too extravagant?"
