Chapter 5

Wang Changming immediately felt relieved and said, "What else do we have to do next?"

"There may not be anything else next. We just need to wait here and wait until dawn..."

Chen Jingzhi frowned, looking at the place where the Ghost Gate disappeared in front of him, he was always thinking about what the other party was saying behind the eyes when the Ghost Gate was closed, and the obscure voice made his mentality less calm.

Then the harem became very quiet, and there were no supernatural events in the future.

Time passed slowly, after midnight, tourists had already begun to leave around 1:40, and the palace was also time to clear the venue.

It was a few minutes before the early morning. Cao Zhengfan, the director of the museum, led a few staff members to come over. He stretched out his hand very far away from Chen Jingzhi and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr., for coming out to stay tonight. There was no trouble in the palace at night. Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Jingzhi stretched out his hand and shook it with him, and said calmly: "It's nothing, the responsibility lies. Our Chen family has been guarding the geek for generations..."

"Say hello to Mr. Chen and me. I won't bother him so late!"

Cao Zhengfan and Chen Jingzhi made a few polite words and then led the staff away. For him, he, as the dean, will be in place, otherwise he will be blamed if something really happens.

Suddenly, Chen Jingzhi discovered that beside Cao Zhengfan, a woman looked back at him and looked at him for a long time.

At that time, Cao Zhengfan and his group had already walked to a dim place. Chen Jingzhi only vaguely saw that this seemed to be a very beautiful woman.

And her meaningful expression.

It is early morning after midnight, and the yin and yang auras change between heaven and earth. When the sky reveals its white belly, it is time for the yang energy to rise in the day.

Chen Jingzhi returned to the small courtyard where his old man Chen Daolin lived. He thought his grandfather had fallen asleep at this point, so he deliberately slowed down and walked towards his room.

"Come back?"

Grandpa's voice came over. Chen Jingzhi found that the old man was sitting on a chair in the room and looked at him, and said softly: "I'm back, grandpa, you haven't sleep yet?"

"You haven't come back, why am I sleeping? I said before that the palace is not peaceful tonight..." Chen Daolin sat upright, and Chen Jingzhi came to him. The old man looked at him for a long time before pointing to the teapot on the table and said, "Make a pot of tea, grandpa will chat with you for a while."

Chen Jingzhi was stunned for a moment. The old man's daily routine has always been very regular. They basically fall asleep at around 10 o'clock at night. When they wake up in the morning, they will make people feel energetic. It's past one o'clock in the morning. If they make another pot of tea, how can they sleep in the middle of the night?

Despite some surprise and confusion, Chen Jingzhi took a pot of water and cooked tea. After a few minutes, he took it to the two of them. Chen Daoli slowly took out a cigarette pipe from his body, then pinched a handful of cigarettes from the cigarette box and stuffed it inside. Chen Jingzhi picked up the match and slashed it, then handed it over.

Chen Daolin took a few sips of cigarettes, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. The faint smell of tea floated in the room, smelling it refreshing.

Chen Jingzhi was also drinking tea.

For a moment, the grandfather and grandson were silent for a long time.

After drinking a pot of tea, Chen Jingzhi brewed another pot, and heard Chen Daolin suddenly say, "You have nothing to say to me? For example, why is there no peace in the palace tonight?"

Chen Jingzhi pondered for a while, then poured the tea and said, "It's not peaceful. The old eunuch is not very peaceful. I warned him. Also... Dongtongzi crossed the channel. There was a situation where the ghost gate opened and the Yin soldiers passed by tonight..."

Chen Jingzhi told the old man about tonight. After he finished speaking, Chen Daolin put down the pipe in his hand and suddenly turned to ask, "Baliang, how old are you this year?"

Chen Jingzhi has a nickname called Baliang and Chen Baliang.

The name Baliang comes from the bone fortune telling. When he was young, Chen Jingzhi didn't understand what it meant. Later, when he grew up, he learned more and knew more. Instead, he became confused because Yuan Tiangang's bone fortune telling had only seven taels and one qian at most.

Seven taels and two cents are the emperor's destiny. Maybe there is, but it is absolutely rare.

Therefore, Chen Jingzhi was very confused. He had asked many times how his eight liang came from bone-to-bone fortune-telling, but the old man never explained it.

"It's twenty-one," said Chen Jingzhi.

Chen Daolin suddenly said, "You are not very confused. Why did I give you the nickname Baliang..."
