Not long after, Cao Zhengchun sent Zhou Chen to Chengtianmen.

Looking at the elites of the brocade guards who were waiting for Zhou Chen outside the palace gate, Cao Zhengchun slowly paused his steps, only to see him arch his hand and say goodbye with a chuckle: "Lord Zhou, you are on official business, and our family will not delay your time too much."

When you are free, we are inviting you to talk! ”

Zhou Chen also stopped, saluted back and said with a smile: "At that time, even if Gonggong Cao doesn't say it, the official will have to bother Gonggong Cao." ”

"Hahaha, then our family will wait for your good news, Lord Zhou."

Cao Zhengchun couldn't help but smile, and he said out loud with joy on his face.

"That's it!"

Bowing slightly, Zhou Chen also smiled and said: "This official has to go to the command of Jinyiwei to make the yamen hand over, so I won't stay with Gonggong Cao for long, and I will leave!" ”

As he spoke, Zhou Chen separated from Cao Zhengchun, and he went out of Chengtianmen to join Badao, Chen Yun and Xu Yan, as well as the brocade guards.

And Cao Zhengchun went straight back to the depths of the palace and waited by Emperor Zhengde's side.

Seeing Zhou Chen walking out of the palace gate, Ba Dao, Chen Yun and Xu Yan hurriedly came forward, but before the three of them could say anything, Zhou Chen took the first step and ordered: "You come over and surround the human wall and cover the official in it." ”

The three of them and the Jinyi guards present didn't understand the meaning of Zhou Chen's move, but they all hurriedly gathered around in obedience.

In the crowd, Zhou Chen slowly took off the scarlet official robe embroidered with a lark on his chest, and replaced it with the imperial python robe that he had just started.

After wearing the matching jade belt properly, Zhou Chen turned over and put on the back of the horse, and ordered loudly: "Get on the horse, follow this official to the Jinyi Guard to command the yamen to go on a trip!" ”

Looking at the python-patterned dress that Zhou Chen had changed on, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of Badao, Chen Yun, Xu Yan and others.

However, because they had Zhou Chen's instructions in the first place, they didn't ask anything, but just turned over on the horse's back cleanly according to Zhou Chen's instructions, and prepared to go to the command of the Jinyi Guard.

However, just as Zhou Chen was about to set off, a young swordsman in a black robe suddenly spoke out and intercepted Zhou Chen and the others.

"But Lord Zhou Chen and Lord Zhou in person?!"

Hearing this in his ears, Zhou Chen couldn't help frowning slightly, he had no relatives or friends in the capital, why did someone call him at this time?

Zhou Chenxun turned his horse's head and looked at the young swordsman, the look of doubt between his eyebrows became more and more intense.

The young man in black said that he was a swordsman, but in fact he was a swordsman, but he was not a swordsman from the Central Plains Jianghu Martial Arts, but a Dongying swordsman.

Because the handle blade that hangs from his waist is a sword that originated in the land of Dongying.

Zhou Chen has been practicing the sword technique for a long time, and although the Tai Dao on the man's waist looks very similar to the Tang Dao, there is a big difference between the two.

In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, although there are not many swordsmen from the martial arts of the Dongying Jianghu, it is not a rare situation.

Especially in the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, the swordsman ronin of Dongying often came and went, and there was nothing unusual about anyone dressed like this man in black.

However, the situation at this moment is completely different, you must know that this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and this Chengtianmen is an important gateway to the palace, what Dongying swordsman dares to approach here?

In Zhou Chen's impression, to be able to dress up like this, and at the same time to be able to get close to the people near the palace Ouchi, I am afraid that it is only the Tianzi No. 1 Ouchi secret agent of the Dragon Guardian Villa, Duan Tianya, who is pregnant with Dongying's advanced martial arts.

It's just that Zhou Chen is a little puzzled by the fact that he has just returned to the capital to report to Emperor Zhengde, what does it mean that this end of the world is coming to block the road.

With a slight gaze, Zhou Chen looked at Duan Tianya, who was suspected to be a secret agent of the Dragon Protector Villa, and said in a deep voice: "You are the No. 1 Duan Tianya of the Heaven and Earth Character of the Dragon Protector Villa?!" ”

When the black-clothed swordsman heard this, he arched his hand directly towards Zhou Chen and said, "Tianya has seen Lord Zhou, the commander of the Jinyi Guard!" ”

Although Zhou Chendao's identity was suddenly broken, the expression on Duan Tianya's face did not change at all.

In Duan Tianya's opinion, as one of the top violent institutions in the Ming Dynasty, the intelligence information in Jinyiwei will definitely not lag much behind the Dragon Guardian Villa, and it is normal to know his identity and origin.

It's a pity that Duan Tianya didn't know that Zhou Chen had just taken over as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he didn't have a grasp of the Jinyi Guard's intelligence system at all.

The reason why he was able to know Duan Tianya's current identity was all surmised by Zhou Chen through the sword on his waist.

Hearing Duan Tianya call himself the commander of the envoy, Zhou Chen, who was riding on horseback, couldn't help but shake his head, he glanced at Duan Tianya deeply, and said with ordinary meaning: "The intelligence news of the Dragon Guardian Villa is really the best in the world!"

This official, the newly promoted commander of the Jinyi Guard, has not even been to the yamen of the commander, and you people from the Dragon Guardian Villa have already received accurate intelligence information, which really makes this official admire! ”

"Lord Zhou is overrated!"

Duan Tianya pretended not to understand the deep meaning contained in Zhou Chen's words, he lowered his head and arched his hand and said humbly.

"Let's get to the point! Iron Courage Shenhou dispatched you, the number one of Tianzi, to find the so-called official What is the matter! ”

Zhou Chen did not continue to entangle with Duan Tianya in this regard, he asked indifferently in his voice.

"Master Zhou, Mingjian!"

Duan Tianya replied respectfully: "The righteous father sent Tianya to meet Lord Zhou this time, and he specially invited Lord Zhou to the Dragon Guardian Villa for a banquet to congratulate Lord Zhou on taking over as the Jinyi Guard of the Son of Heaven's pro-army. ”

Hearing this in his ears, Zhou Chen couldn't help but smile, what kind of banquet congratulations, to put it bluntly, isn't he just going to win him over.

Zhou Chen didn't expect that his front foot had just taken up the position of the commander of the brocade guard, and the back foot had directly become a fragrant bait, and other forces had already begun to woo him.

This was the case with Cao Zhengchun and Dongchang before, and now the same is true of the Iron Courage Divine Marquis and the Dragon Guardian Villa.

I don't know what kind of attitude those civil and military officials above the court will have after waiting for a while.
