Chapter 19 The Stranger

It was just after eleven o'clock, and the whole Xuanji City had fallen into a tranquil state——Xuanji City was not the richest place in the Huaxia Alliance, nor was it a place full of rich and powerful people. Most of the people living here were well-educated.Confucianism says that a gentleman is always poor. In the eyes of the ancient sage of the Huo family, the wealth of the Chu family is nothing, and the power of the Zhao family is nothing. Although most of the people living here are poor, the people in Xuanji City are very content.In the eyes of many people in Xuanji City, being poor is just an adjective—you know, there is no standard between the rich and the poor: no matter how much money they have in the bank, anyone can complain that they are poor.This is like what Nie Guichen said when talking about the quotations of the ancient sages of the Huo family: "What is a gentleman? A person who can do what he should do without caring about the rich or the poor is a gentleman. There is nothing wrong with not having fixed assets, as long as you have a persistent heart. Thousands of years ago, only scholar-bureaucrats could do it.” “Young people who live in big cities today chasing their dreams but have no savings may be insignificant in the eyes of the upper class, but in the eyes of sages, they have no money but are persistent in pursuing their dreams.” Those who are in the top ranks of agriculture, industry and commerce, are called scholars and treat each other with courtesy." The times have changed, and in this era of laughing at the poor but not at the prostitutes, the people of Xuanji City still uphold the ancient teachings and pass on the fragrance of books to their families.Regarding this point, Huo Xiaoyao, the former guardian of the alliance, once thought about changing it, but in the end it was nothing. When someone asked why, Huo Xiaoyao said: "When you realize your poverty, you can also see your own wealth. It's not far away." But after decades passed, Huo Xiaoyao died, and the people living here still lead an ordinary and fulfilling life, there are no rich people, and no privileged people.Some just live in harmony among neighbors, and loyalty and filial piety among relatives.Looking at the familiar streets around him, Chu Changfeng sighed uncontrollably. He hadn't entered Xuanji City for nearly eight years. Eight years ago, Chu Feiyun was killed. Chu Changfeng who got the news searched for three days and three days in the Huaxia Alliance alone. At night, with a thin sword on his back, he didn't find any traces of Chu Feiyun. Then, Chu Changfeng came to Xuanji City, and came to the residence of Huo Li, the head of the Huo family in Xuanji City at that time, but Huo Li didn't. Seeing Chu Changfeng, he just asked someone to pass a sentence to Chu Changfeng - death without words is life without limits.It was the current head of the Huo family, Huo Xueman, who sent the message to Chu Changfeng.At that time, Chu Changfeng and Huo Xueman had already had a marriage contract. Everyone in the Huaxia Alliance knew about it. The original wedding was only three months away, but because of Chu Feiyun's death, Huo Li didn't want to see Chu Zhang. Feng...after hearing Huo Xueman's words, Chu Changfeng took a deep look at Huo Xueman, then turned and left.This turnaround spanned eight years.During the eight years, Chu Changfeng did not step into the Huo family, nor did he enter the Chu family again. He stayed in Haoran College all the time.Compared with Chu Changfeng who has faded out of people's sight, Huo Xueman is now a household name in the Huaxia Alliance, but until now there are still love stories between Chu Changfeng and Huo Xueman in the market, and many people don't know about it. Why did two people who were originally talented and beautiful fell into such a situation.Only a few people know that Chu Changfeng hates the Huo family.Because Chu Changfeng can be sure that Huo Li at that time absolutely knew the cause of Chu Feiyun's death.But Huo Li didn't want to say it, and Chu Changfeng didn't want to face the Huo family again, but now, after eight years, Chu Changfeng came to the territory of the Huo family in Xuanji City again.Half an hour ago, Chu Changfeng received a call from Chu Yu. At that time, Chu Changfeng was sitting in a cafe with a glass of plain water in front of him, and a strong cup of coffee opposite him—he was waiting No one came, but they waited for a call from Chu Yu.After hanging up Chu Yu's phone, Chu Changfeng slowly sipped the boiled water in the cup, but his thoughts couldn't help being in a trance. He came to Xuanji City this time for the matter of Chu Yu. From the beginning of arresting Chu Yu to now seeing people alive and dead, Chu Yu can be said to be walking on thin ice now, maybe no one will know when he died, Chu Changfeng came to Xuanji City just to find Huo Xueman to see if he could Give Chu Yu a way out—it is true that Chu Changfeng has a good impression of Chu Yu, but this is not enough to make him look down and beg Huo Xueman. This matter, and this matter is also what Chu Changfeng himself most wants to find out.Sure enough, Chu Yu did not disappoint Chu Changfeng. Just now Chu Yu called to ask about the Huo family's secret room, Chu Changfeng felt a little relieved, and became more determined to help Chu Yu no matter what method he used.Could it be that Chu Yu was really related to the collapse of Huo Xiaoyao's former residence as rumored by the outside world?Thinking like this, Chu Changfeng drank the boiled water in his hand, and then sent a message to Chu Yu.After sending the message, Chu Changfeng looked up and saw a woman sitting opposite him.The woman's eyebrows and eyes are still the same as before, but they are a little more indifferent and less pure.Looking at Huo Xueman in front of him, Chu Changfeng felt a bit of bitterness in his heart. In his memory, she was still the same as eight years ago, but now she no longer has the same feeling as before—at least the former she would laugh when she saw herself, but What now?There is no more warmth like spring in memory.Waking up from the dream, the world has changed. "What do you want from me?" Huo Xueman sat down and glanced at Chu Changfeng, then her eyes fell on the coffee. After she finished speaking, she turned to look at the waiter not far away: " Give me another glass of ice water." Huo Xueman said and looked at Chu Changfeng: "I don't like drinking coffee now." Chu Changfeng nodded and didn't say anything else.His eyes fell on Huo Xueman's hand, and he paused for a while: "I'm here because of Chu Yu's affairs." "Tell me?" "I don't know why people from the Huo family are looking for Chu Yu, I don't think it's necessary Kill him, after all, he is still young." "There are many young people in the China Alliance, and being young is not an excuse for living." After Huo Xueman spoke, there was a brief silence between the two. "When it comes to the Huo family, the first thing that people think of is the sage. I remember the sage said a word. Ants still live stealthily, let alone people shouting? The ancestors of the Huo family don't say it. Huo Xiaoyao once said a word. I don't know if you still Do you remember, "From birth to death, some people live for love, some live for ideals, and some live only for life. Everyone does not bring life or death, compared with the vast sea of ​​stars , This life is so short, it is not easy to live, and no one deprives the other party of the right to live.'" "In what capacity are you telling me this?" Hearing what Chu Changfeng said, Huo Xiaoyao frowned. "Friend." Chu Changfeng said after a pause: "As long as you promise me not to kill Chu Yu, I will tell you where Chu Yu is now, and I will give you a satisfactory result." Where?" Huo Xueman didn't answer Chu Changfeng's question, but asked directly. "Huo Family Library." After saying this, Chu Changfeng saw a flash of astonishment in Huo Xueman's eyes, and soon, Huo Xueman stood up, took out the phone and glanced at Chu Changfeng: "Come with me." When the two came to the library, the library was already surrounded by people from the Huo family.Huo Xueman walked into the library alone, after more than ten minutes, Huo Xueman came out with his head down, came to Chu Changfeng, looked at Chu Changfeng with a very ugly expression and said: "You Don't worry, Chu Yu is not dead yet, and I won't... let him die so easily."
