The carriage entered the city along a bumpy road, and soon entered a curved garden.

Quyuan is called Shen Yuan, the owner of the garden is said to be the former Wu nobles, Hancheng people, named Shen Yuan, the head of the powerful and majestic good at making a pair of fine iron Wu hook, in the land of Wu Yue is a famous hero, but also a merchant family, for people to scatter wealth and bold, is Guangling celebrities, once traveled around the world, also once went to Xianyang, founded Shen Yuan four years ago, became the largest hotel in Guangling, weekdays southeast and northwest business travelers pass by Guangling, most of them will choose to stay in Shen Yuan, This time, Chen Xu came secretly, and Shen Yuan was also responsible for the reception arrangements.

Because Chen Xu and his family stayed in Shen Garden, so Shen Garden is not open to the public these days, when Chen Xu came in, he saw that the owner of the garden, Shen Jing, was chatting with a group of people gathered in the shade of the tree in the courtyard, and when he saw Chen Xu's carriage, he quickly stood up to greet him.

"Lord Shen doesn't need to be polite!" After Chen Xu got out of the car, he smiled and nodded in greeting.

"Master Hou, these are my best friends, I heard that Master Hou came to Guangling, and specially came from Hancheng, Gaoyou, Tangyi and other places to pay a visit, take the liberty to disturb, and ask Lord Hou for forgiveness!" Shen said a little stiffly across a group of guards.

Chen Xu's eyes swept over this group of people, most of them were similar in age to Shen Qian, they were all thirty or forty years old, with long beards and high crowns, short beards and martial arts crowns, and cloth clothes.

With the prosperity and development of Daqin's economy, coupled with a crackdown, Daqin's folk atmosphere has improved a lot, but most of the crackdowns are those hooligans who bully men and women, and the heroes of Shen Kuang's identity are basically not a big blow, and the identities of these people used to be ambiguous, but in recent years, they have successively washed their hands and started to do some business, but after all, they are heroes, they have their own rivers and lakes, and the people they make friends with belong to the group of black and white.

Chen Xu didn't have a good impression of these people, but he didn't have too much malice.

In any era, these people are the most prosperous class, black and white, as long as they are given enough courtesy, they can gather a great force, and now Daqin is prosperous and stable, these people actually have a lot of credit, but if it is a troubled time, these people will immediately become the leaders of the rebel army and become a scourge of the country.

"Since you are a friend of Lord Shen, then don't be formal, go to the lobby with Ben Hou to get together, but you just came today, if it is tomorrow, the Hou will already leave!" Chen Xu nodded next to each other, and then took the lead towards the lobby of the restaurant, and Shen Kuang and the others immediately thanked each other with a happy face and followed.

The hotel is relatively quiet, Shui Qingrou and others should go out of the city to play, and it is only at the end of the day, so Chen Xu is also happy to chat with these heroes to relieve boredom.

In the lobby, the guests and hosts sat down, and the maid stepped back after serving fragrant tea and melon and fruit cakes, and then Shen Jing stood up and introduced: "This is Lu Chen...... This is Song Yi...... This is Cao Wuxian...... This is Peng Yue......"

"Hmm~" The few people in front of Chen Xu didn't know very well, but when he suddenly heard the name Peng Yue, he couldn't help but shake the teacup in his hand slightly, and Huo Ran stared at this man with black beard and black hair and wearing a cloth robe.

In this group of people, Peng Yue does not look outstanding, about thirty years old, with black beard and black hair wearing a cloth scarf, ordinary clothes and appearance, but between walking and looking forward, he can still see that he obviously has a wild spirit that only heroes of the rivers and lakes, and the difference between Chen Ping and Zhang Liang and these scribes can be said to be clear at a glance.

At present, almost all of these people are like this, everyone has this kind of aura, but in the face of Chen Xu, this aura is hidden very deeply, but it is definitely different from ordinary civilian businessmen, and the difference can be seen at a glance, just the word underworld is written on the door of the head.

If there is no person with the same name and surname at the moment, this Peng Yue should be one of the three famous generals of the early Han Dynasty in later generations.

Han Xinyingbu had already been subdued by himself, but Peng Yue didn't know where he was, and Chen Xu didn't plan to look for them one by one.

Now that the Xiang family has been destroyed, Liu Bang has become the director of Keju Square in Xianyang, who is still very satisfied, and the history has long been messy, even if a person like Peng Yue gives him tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, he will definitely not be able to make waves.

What's more, according to the history that Chen Xu remembers, this thing was fishing for a living in a lake in Juye, Shandong Province before the rebellion, and by the way, he did some things to cut the path and bury people, and lived freely with a nest of bandits.

Later, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Xiang Liang rebelled one after another, and a group of young people around the lake followed him to rebel, and soon gathered tens of thousands of people to take refuge in Liu Bang.

In the subsequent dispute between Chu and Han, Peng Yue made outstanding achievements and was named the King of Liang, but this title was not good, and he quickly became cold after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, and was chopped into meat sauce by Liu Bang to make steamed buns.

However, the time and space are chaotic to the point where it is now, it is impossible for Liu Bang to chop him, but Peng Yue is absolutely impossible to conquer the king of Liang in the world like the historical records in the past.

At present, it is not even possible to fish and be a robber in his hometown, it is estimated that he can only take refuge in Shen Kuang, these gentry eat and drink, for example, in addition to the sword hanging on his waist, it is estimated that his whole body will not exceed 100 yuan.

Therefore, the times create heroes, and if you don't reach that opportunity, you won't have the life to get ahead.

Looking at Chen Xu's reaction and expression, not only the introduced Shen Qian stopped a little inexplicably, but everyone turned their heads to look at Peng Yue in unison.

Peng Yue's heart pounded a few times, and the sweat on his forehead came out instantly, and he stood up with extreme anxiety and saluted Chen Xu with a fist and said, "I don't know if Peng Yue acted inappropriately and collided with Hou Ye!" ”

Chen Xu slowly withdrew his eyes from Peng Yue, and did not let Peng Yue take a seat, but said indifferently after putting down the teacup: "Ben Hou once heard that in the land of Heze in Dang County, there is a group of bandits who make a living by fishing on weekdays, and by the way, they also do some strongman deeds, I don't know if you have heard of it?" ”

Peng Yue's body trembled, and his face turned pale in an instant, and beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead rolled down his cheeks as they crackled, while Shen Jing and the others were also silent one by one, holding the teacup and bowing their heads, their bodies trembling slightly.

Whether it is a bandit, a robber, or a prince and grandson nobleman who used to crisscross the six countries, he is just a cloth cloth now, facing Chen Xu, a popular disciple of the immortal family, and the left minister of the current dynasty and the emperor's master, it is okay to take the opportunity to talk and mix up the face, but even how arrogant and domineering he is on weekdays, at this time, he is as daunted as facing a mountain, and he can't mention any resistance at all.

"Choking~" Several guards standing beside Chen Xu took their long knives out of their sheaths, and looked at Peng Yue with cold eyes, "Zuo Xiang asked, why didn't you answer?" ”

"Don't be impatient!" Chen Xu raised his hand, a group of guards returned their long knives to the sheath, but Peng Yue's body trembled violently and took a step forward and knelt on the ground, grabbing the ground and saying in a hoarse voice: "Hou Ye forgives the sin, Peng Yue did rob in Juye Heze, but he never killed himself just for money, a few years ago the court cracked down, Peng Yue surrendered when he knew he was guilty, and was fined three years of hard labor. I came to Shen Garden to ask Shen Garden Master to recommend and visit Hou Ye, without the slightest concealment and bad intentions, and please Hou Ye Don't blame Shen Garden Master, all the blame will be borne by Peng Yue alone! ”

Although Peng Yue was frightened, he still spoke clearly and took the blame, for fear that Chen Xu would implicate Shen Jing and several others.

"Knowing that mistakes can be changed, good is great, you get up!" Chen Xu waved his hand, Peng Yue didn't dare to say more, and after thanking him, he retreated to his place and sat down.

Because of this incident, the atmosphere in the room was solemn in an instant, and a group of guards with their backs were staring at everyone, and at this time, anyone who dared to touch the sword would be immediately cut to pieces on the spot.

Their original identity was the forbidden army, and they were arranged by the first emperor to protect Chen Xu, and the order they got was that anyone who had misdeeds against the Marquis of Qinghe would be killed without retribution, and this was the only order in the world that could not help but be killed or injured, in the emperor's opinion, the identity of the disciple of the Marquis of Qinghe was beyond the existence of the laws of the Great Qin, and not a single hair could be injured.

However, five years ago, Hanguguan Chen Xu was assassinated, and he directly gave the first emperor a hard slap, and then the first emperor listened to Chen Xu's advice, and the world was a full half a year, and an unprecedented crackdown on the folk rangers and hooligans was almost completely Xiao Qing, Peng Yue, a water-poning bandit, couldn't stand it, in order not to be hacked to death with a knife, he became a good baby and went to the county government to surrender, and then was sent to repair the gallop road for three years.

This time, he changed his evil ways and became a new man, after hearing the news of Chen Xu's arrival in Guangling, he ran more than 100 miles overnight to come to visit, not only to have a long face, but also to see if the world-famous Qinghe Hou is a monster with a few legs, but he didn't expect that Chen Xu, who seemed harmless to humans and animals, only heard his name and said his heels.

This moment completely annihilated the little bit of wild energy he had left.

In front of the disciples of the Immortal Family, all concealment was in vain.

"Don't be nervous, Ben Hou is not a royal history, let alone a torturer, and Peng Yue has changed his ways, Ben Hou will not be investigated, but he suddenly remembered when he heard his name, you wait to meet Ben Hou, how can Ben Hou be punished without guilt, Shen Yuan Master continues to introduce, Ben Hou likes to communicate with people with lofty ideals in the world as friends!" Chen Xu waved his hand and explained with a smile, and the solemn atmosphere of the room slowly became active again.

Shen Kuang quickly introduced all the seven or eight people, and Chen Xu no longer mentioned the matter of Fang Cai, drinking tea and chatting with a group of people, saying some news and anecdotes from all over the world, and at the same time explaining some court decrees and analyzing some future development trends and prospects of Daqin for these people, and encouraging these wealthy and powerful gentry with great influence among the people to continue to invest in the reform and development of Daqin.

After a lively conversation, an hour passed in a flash, until he heard the sound of cars and horses and women and children talking in the courtyard, Chen Xu knew that it was Shui Qing, Ying Shiyan and others who came back from going out of the city to play, so he stood up and served tea to send off guests.

"Take the liberty to disturb Lord Hou today, and come back tomorrow to see him off!" A crowd of people all stood up and saluted.

"It's okay, it's okay, tomorrow morning Ben Hou will leave in the cool, all of you are my Daqin celebrities, you should focus on the great cause of the family and country, I hope you can actively participate in the reform and construction of Daqin...... Peng Yue, since you have good water nature and good martial arts, Ben Hou recommends you to go to a place, and you will definitely become famous in the future, I don't know if you are willing? Chen Xu's eyes fell on Peng Yue, who was the most lonely.

"Please also ask Master Hou for advice!" Peng Yue was stunned for a moment.

"Now Ben Hou is fully implementing the Tantu plan, you and others have already known, the most important part of the Tantu plan is to open large-scale ocean transportation, now Langya has prepared to establish the Daqin Maritime Academy, to train a large number of proficient in water and brave and fearless sons to form the Daqin Naval Fleet, a few years later to sail to the South China Sea to escort Daqin's overseas expansion, if you are willing to go, in the future Ben Hou will protect you with a glory and wealth!"

"Thank you, Master Hou, Peng Yue is willing to go to the Maritime Academy to study and serve the imperial court in the future!" Peng Yue's face flushed with excitement.

"That's fine, you go to Langya Maritime Academy to find Dean Cao Shen, and by the way, you can also bring some former companions with you, but Ben Hou reminds you that once you join the Maritime Academy, everything must be strictly enforced, if there is a little misconduct, no wonder you will be cut off by the law enforcement team of the academy, even if you join the naval fleet in the future, if you don't obey the order, you will still be punished for treason, can you hear clearly?"

"Listen clearly, Hou Ye rest assured, the more respectful he is to do what he says, the more heroic and righteous men who must do what he says, and he can get Hou Ye's recommendation, the more he will not dare to slack off, and he will follow Hou Ye to the death in the future!"

"That's fine, you can go for the time being, Ben Hou will also go to Langya Maritime Academy to inspect in the near future, and I will talk to you in detail when the time comes!" Chen Xu smiled and nodded.

"Yes, thank you, Master Hou, the more you retire!"

Peng Yue was speechless excitedly, and excitedly exited the lobby and left with a group of companions.
