Chapter 989 From then on, they were named the Old Six Gang.
Upon hearing Chu Chen's words, Chang Shou instantly became excited again.
"Young master, are you saying that you're willing to take me on important tasks again?"
"Hehe, how many people are you helping now?"
"Young master, more than five thousand men!"
"Alright, gather these five thousand people together and send them to the capital with me in batches. From now on, you will belong to the Lao Liu Chamber of Commerce, and we'll call you the Lao Liu Gang!"
Upon hearing the name of the Sixth Chamber of Commerce, Chang Shou's body immediately trembled.
No wonder the Sixth Chamber of Commerce, which suddenly appeared out of nowhere these past few days, has such a strong momentum; it turns out it's the young master's chamber of commerce.
That explains everything. Who is this young master? He's a god-like figure.
"I will follow your instructions, young master."
"Hehe, not only that, I also want you to do one more thing, which is to recruit more disciples and expand your team. Don't worry, the Lao Liu Chamber of Commerce will support you in everything."
"Yes, I'll take care of it right away!"
Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen led him into the Lao Liu Chamber of Commerce, where he secretly met with the people he had developed on his side, allowing Chang Shou to get acquainted with them, making things easier for him in the future.
There's no need for me to worry too much about this kind of thing.
Seeing the outcome of Changshou and Anlan's relationship today has deeply moved him.
As night deepened, a figure sped toward Lingyang. He moved like a ghost in the darkness, covering a distance that would normally take a long time, and arrived at the gates of Lingyang in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Immediately afterwards, he leaped up and reappeared in the city's garrison camp.
Inside the military camp, a huge house sat in the very center.
Chu Chen glanced around, then slipped into the house. After evading the eyes of many guards, he headed straight for a huge room.
"who......."
Anlan dismissed all the maids who were serving her and was currently soaking in a large bathtub.
Suddenly, a soft footstep sound came from the doorway, and she immediately grabbed the long knife next to the wooden barrel and shouted sharply at the door.
"Hehe, you've come at the worst time. Keep washing up, and come out to see me when you're done!"
Seeing the erotic scene inside the gauze curtain, Chu Chen immediately spoke up, then sat down on the chair with his back to An Lan.
"Ah...Young master, you've arrived!"
Ignoring her wet body, Anlan immediately climbed out of the bathtub, wrapped herself in a bathrobe, and rushed out.
She knelt down directly in front of Chu Chen, her eyes filled with surprise and delight.
"Um, could you please put on some clothes?"
Upon hearing Chu Chen's words, An Lan's eyes dimmed again. It seemed that the young master still disliked her.
That's right. How could such a divine being possibly look down on my worthless body?
So she turned around and went back to the bathtub. After getting dressed, she appeared in front of Chu Chen again.
"See, that's much better. Let me tell you, although the young master isn't a casual person, sometimes when he does, he can be quite ruthless. You're still young, so take care of yourself!"
After listening to Chu Chen's words, An Lan nodded as if she understood but not quite.
I thought to myself, "You can be so unruly, I'd even be willing to accept it, but why..."
"Alright, stop overthinking. I'm here to ask you one question: why did you join the government?"
Anlan was shocked when she heard this. In the end, the young master found out. When she made that decision and had a disagreement with Changshou, she had thought that this day would come.
He then drew the long sword beside him and handed it to Chu Chen.
"Young master, everything I have was given to me by you. You can take it back anytime!"
"If it weren't for you, I would have died on the way back!"
Chu Chen took the knife and then shoved it back in: "Get lost, that's not what I want. I just want to know what you're thinking!"
Seeing Chu Chen put the knife back in, An Lan felt relieved.
Then he straightened up and said, "Young Master, I know this will make Chang Shou feel very disheartened, and it will also make the brothers who fought their way here feel very disheartened."
"But more than feeling heartbroken, Anlan understands that life is more important!"
"We've taken back what's rightfully ours, so let's not lose our lives needlessly!"
Chu Chen nodded after listening. An Lan was right; life is more important than anything else for a person.
"You mean, if you don't do this, Chang Shou and the others might be eliminated by the higher-ups."
“That’s right, young master. The person we captured is, after all, the city lord, the city lord supported by the imperial power, or rather, the face of the imperial power.”
“Even if this city lord is a scoundrel, it’s not our place to punish him. So, in order for my brothers to live well, I have no choice but to do this.”
Chu Chen nodded in satisfaction after listening.
How can the rule-makers be judged by the rule-followers?
Even if they commit heinous crimes, even if they disregard human life, it is not the place of those who abide by the rules to point fingers. Otherwise, how could this Kaiyuan Kingdom be a country?
If I were in Anlan's situation, I might make the same decision.
He had previously bombed other people's palaces and destroyed other people's countries, but that was based on his own overwhelming strength.
But if you shrink back and become an ordinary living being, you will ultimately have to live by following the rules.
Seeing Chu Chen nod and then fall into deep thought, An Lan was unsure what he was thinking.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became somber and tense again.
Chu Chen was indeed deep in thought. There was only one point: no matter what, ordinary people could not escape the rules.
The rules, however, are in the hands of those who are more powerful. There's no way around it; proper development requires rules.
No rules no standards.
If you want to master a realm, you also need to formulate your own rules, rules that allow that realm to develop better.
For a moment, he seemed to have grasped something, and then, Anlan was horrified to discover that the young master in front of her was...
There was an extremely strong momentum rising, as if it was about to pierce the sky.
The pressure was so intense that she could hardly breathe. The man in front of her was terrifying. It was as if he could kill her without even lifting a finger; with just a thought, he could obliterate her.
This phenomenon lasted for about ten breaths before Chu Chen's aura dissipated, a smile appeared on his lips, and everything returned to calm.
Looking at Anlan, who was covered in sweat, her clothes soaked with sweat, and her chest heaving up and down.
Chu Chen smiled slightly.
"Hehe, go wash up again. Look at yourself now, it won't look good if outsiders see you like this!"
"Please wait a moment, young master. Anlan will be right back."
Chu Chen was very satisfied. In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it seemed that he had made great progress towards the Saint Realm.
