Chapter 4: Dreams from the Past

Chen An has carried out countless tasks over the years, and has obtained a lot of martial arts cheats from them, which can be regarded as well-informed. But I never felt that there was anything surprising about this set of footwork that didn't even have a luck method.

At this time, he concentrated and pondered repeatedly, but still did not find any abnormalities, and this set of footwork did not stand out at all. On the contrary, with his current vision, it is obvious that there are several flaws in it, and many moves can be reduced and improved. It's like a flashy dance footwork, and from the perspective of martial arts, it is simply full of mistakes and omissions.

If you can't figure it out, Chen An simply doesn't want to think about it, anyway, it is definitely a gratifying thing for him to make great progress now, and there is no need to worry about some troublesome things.

Chen An walked out of the secret room and came to the courtyard, the ghost uncle had already left, and he was the only one in the entire courtyard. A sense of loneliness came over him for no reason, and in an instant he was overwhelmed.

But in an instant, this feeling of loneliness was replaced by a wave of resentment, which filled his heart in an instant, and a fire ignited in his eyes, and in the midst of the flames was a prosperous mansion, in which countless men in black went back and forth, slaughtering the owner of the mansion like slaughtering pigs and dogs, until the whole mansion was reduced to ashes.

It was his home, and his father, Chen Hong, was the imperial physician, but he was involved in the case of the death of the first emperor and was forced to commit suicide by poisoning. Originally, this was the case, but on the sixth day after his death, their family actually rushed into a group of black-clothed people and killed people when they saw them. He was the only one in his family of seventeen who escaped. Since then, he has lived on the streets, been bullied, and was selected by chance to join the Dark Division and become a secret agent of the Dark Division, until now.

Chen An once suspected that it was the emperor of the dynasty, but he was immediately overthrown, and the case of the first emperor was a major crime of beheading, or is it now that His Majesty is pardoned, Chen An can survive to this day. There was no need for him to do so much of this again.

Moreover, only their family suffered this tragedy among the more than ten people in the Tai Medical Department, which shows that the group of people in black should have another purpose. But in any case, their power is absolutely terrifying. Chen An has also used the intelligence system to find the murderer intentionally or unintentionally over the years since he entered the dark division, and the clues he got are really pitiful. With the power of the state apparatus still so slow, the power of the murderer can be seen.

The moonlight flickered into the room, accompanied by the sound of birdsong and the rustle of leaves in the wind. Chen An took a deep breath, feeling his fluctuating mind instantly calm down. At this time, he was deaf and bright, full of energy, and his mood was much lighter. He is no longer the waste he used to be, and he is one step closer to revenge. You are still young, you can check it slowly, and one day you can achieve your goal.

Chen An calculated the time, but it was already past the time, he really didn't expect that he had slept for so long this night, and he was glad that he didn't miss the hour. Thinking of this, he jumped out of the courtyard, which was already close to the outskirts of the city, and reached the edge of the city wall in a few ups and downs. He still did not stop under his feet, his legs jumped up three zhang high, he stretched out his hand to climb on the city wall, and his body was raised more than two zhang again, so that he jumped over the city wall several times in a row, and the city wall more than ten zhang high could not stop it for a moment.

Gently drifting out of the city, he sniffed in the air with his head held high, and then he identified a direction and ran away, without even raising a layer of dust. Chen An's internal strength has made great progress, and even the light skill of flying feather crossing is also a great achievement, and he is hidden in the jungle by the official road between breaths.

In the imperial city, the Qianyuan Hall at night is still brightly lit, and Emperor Zhou has not yet rested, reviewing the mountain-like music. With such a large workload, even if Emperor Zhou is a young man who has just passed his prime, he can't bear it. From time to time, rub your eyebrows with your hands to refresh yourself.

It was only at this time that he discovered that there was another person in the study besides the eunuch. It turned out to be a middle-aged man in a brocade robe who was talking to Chen An during the day, and this person was Xu Qian, the captain of the Holy Court.

Emperor Zhou was stunned for a moment and seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Xu Qing, when did you arrive, I didn't even notice it." ”

Xu Qian heard this and hurriedly said respectfully: "The emperor is in the community, dreaming of sleeping at night, and the minister is added as the captain of the Holy Court, but he can't share the worries of the lord, and he is afraid in his heart, so he only wants to accompany him to the side and comfort his life a little." ”

Emperor Zhou smiled noncommittally, he gently put down the music in his hand, and asked: "I came to you this time just to ask you, the Chen An you said last time is not as young as the weak crown." ”

Xu Qian bowed his head and replied: "Your Majesty, although Chen An's son is young, he is mentally mature, and he can definitely entrust him with big things." This incident of Mingjian Villa is Weichen's test for him. I thought it would be good if he could drag the Mingguang Sword Lu Chengjun, but who knew that this son was so tenacious that he had been dormant in Cangzhou for a year, and finally got rid of the big trouble of Mingjian Villa for His Majesty. The journey is enough to show its extraordinary nature. What's more, in this matter, his people are only auxiliary, and the person in charge has another choice, all of them are the new blood cultivated by the Holy Court over the years, and they will not miss the important affairs of the Holy Court by dividing their labor and cooperation. ”

Emperor Zhou pondered silently, and only after a long time did he say: "Chivalry is a taboo with martial arts, and those people in the rivers and lakes are indeed my henchmen. In this way, he has indeed made great contributions. I have always believed in you, and if you think it is appropriate, then do what you want. ”

Xu Qian intervened and said respectfully: "Your Majesty Xie is trustworthy, and the minister will arrange it." ”

Emperor Zhou nodded: "Since it has been decided, I will simply let him go and let him be the prisoner of the four grades." Go ahead and arrange it. After speaking, he bowed down the case again and buried his head in the official documents.

didn't know that this appointment shocked Xu Qian for a while and didn't come back to his senses.

Chen An was sent out by him to carry out tasks when he was a child, and his kung fu of making and using drugs was superb, and he was the object of his key training. Over the years, he has made countless feats, which makes him very gratified. It is not surprising that he is promoted according to merit, even if Emperor Zhou gives him a three-grade on a whim, Xu Qian will not be surprised. It's just that the position of the capital supervisor is too special.

The official position of the Holy Court is independent of the imperial court, and it has its own system, with him as the court lieutenant as the most, and then the three divisions, the four of them are directly responsible to the emperor, and the functions under them can be appointed and dismissed by themselves at will, even if it is the three grades. Under the capital is the captain of the third grade, and then to the fourth grade, divided into civil and military positions. As for the metropolitan superintendent, it is not permanent, just because its power is too large, and it has the power to supervise officials of the third rank and below.

The dark division is already a senior official, and the capital supervisor is even better. But even if the emperor ordered it himself, Xu Qian did not dare to slack off, and withdrew from the Qianyuan Hall after receiving the edict.

At this time, the bright moon outside the palace was hanging high, but it was slightly hazy, and it was still dark on the earth. The dim and unknown light shone on the rabbit's slope, as if it were covered with a light veil.

Rabbit slope is more than ten miles away from the capital, because the slope is steep and sloping, it is remote, and no one takes care of it, it is overgrown with weeds, sparsely populated, a barren scene. However, its proximity to the Youyun Official Road is also a traffic point, so it was occupied by the Dark Division early and became an intelligence center, and few people know about this matter.

At this time, there are more than ten figures standing on the slope, all of them are wearing black robes, the joints are connected with silver wires, and a black-scaled python is embroidered on the robe, with wings inserted in the ribs, intending to spread its wings and soar. Covered with a pure black coat, in this dark and windy place at night, it is described as a ghost.

The first person was wearing a black gauze hair crown, and was asking the person in front of him, "Everything has been confirmed?"

The person in front of him bowed his waist, and what he did was the gift of the secret agent to meet the peak: "This matter is true, Chen An, eager for quick success, in order to complete the task, he actually poisoned the mountain wind on the top of Xiaoping Mountain." The poisonous wind not only killed more than 100 people in Mingjian Villa, but also innocently injured the four villages under the mountain, and more than 1,000 people were killed in this battle. Because they are all mountain villages, there is less traffic than the outside world, so no one has found them so far. The subordinates also waited for the poisonous wind to dissipate before they dared to enter the mountain to check, at this time, Xiaoping Mountain was dozens of miles away, and there was not a single living thing. ”

The corners of the black-clothed leader's mouth were slightly hooked with a hint of gloom: "This bastard thing, how dare you do this, it's just crazy, this time I, Zhao Duo, must go up to the sky to listen, such a big case, the lightest is also a decisive decision, see how Lord Tingwei can protect him." ”

After he finished speaking, the rest of the people echoed loudly, but only one bowed his head and remained silent. Zhao Duo saw the displeasure behind him, and asked, "Yu Jin, do you have any other opinions?"

Yu Zhen heard that his boss was dissatisfied, but he said unhurriedly: "Lord Duwei, don't be impatient, this Chen An has done many similar things since he entered the Dark Division, but he has not been punished by relying on the support of Lord Tingwei. Although this incident is bad, there are still fewer people who are killed by mistake every year, and besides, it is a few remote mountain villages far away from the world, and their existence is not known to the world at all. If you report it, you may not be able to do it. Even if the edict from above governs him, with Lord Tingwei's consistent protection of him, it is at most a painless crime, but it will startle the snake, so that he is on guard, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Duo frowned and was silent, already believing this in his heart. The Holy Court has existed since the founding of the country, with the Ming Division guarding, the Blood Division attacking, and the Dark Division supervising, although each performs its own duties, but especially the Dark Division is the most powerful. The largest number of people is just that, more because the blood division is the emperor's hole card is easily not used. Many things are not bothered, and the two masters are handed over to the Dark Division to handle, which has formed two forces, the Dark Division Assassin and the Dark Division Secret Agent. The authority to supervise the world has also changed, and it has become more of a tool for successive emperors to eliminate dissidents, completely replacing the function of the blood division.

This tool was originally used to kill people, and now it is ridiculous to punish them for killing a few more people. It's okay if he kills some important people, but what kind of waves can those mountain villagers turn over.

Zhao Duo pondered, and unintentionally saw Yu Jin's face in front of him calm, as if he was confident, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and asked lightly: "Then what do you say?"

Yu Zhen was waiting for him to ask, and when he heard the inquiry, he was overjoyed, knowing that he had climbed the high branch of the captain, and his soaring was just around the corner. Hurriedly replied: "We can come to a prelude to kill that Chen An first, and then report according to this crime, at that time, the raw rice has already been cooked, and Lord Tingwei is not good at making trouble for us." ”

Zhao Duo thought he had some high opinions, but he didn't expect it to be such a bad idea, and he was displeased, but in the end, it was his confidant, and he still said calmly: "Then Chen An has done a lot of poisoning, I am afraid when I see him on weekdays, how can I capture him without borrowing the hand of the court." ”

Yu Zhen didn't care, but talked eloquently: "Lord Du Wei is angry, his subordinates have already investigated clearly, Chen An was injured by poisonous gas when he was a child, and when he was making drugs, he was injured by poisonous gas, which hurt his lungs and damaged his meridians, and it is difficult to achieve great success in this life." Over the years, he has only relied on poison, but in fact, his martial arts are mediocre. ”

"Really?" Zhao Duo asked suspiciously, he had gone through a few tricks with Chen An, and without poison, he could only say that he was slightly superior. The other party's moves are old and spicy, and they really don't look like young people who are not as weak as the crown, which makes him remember it vividly. But if you think about it carefully at this time, the other party is indeed weak internally, and relies on external strength to fight the enemy. At that time, I thought that the reason why this was the case was due to his shallow skills at a young age, but I didn't expect it to be this reason. But he doesn't rely on internal strength, he can do so only by relying on moves, and it is difficult to be a martial arts wizard who is rare in a century.

Yu Zhen nodded and confirmed: "This matter is absolutely true, as long as we live in a ventilated place everywhere, when we catch him alone, surround him, attack him remotely with palm power, and greet him with crossbow arrows, even if he is covered in iron, he can hit a few nails." ”

Zhao Duo's eyes lit up, and he concluded: "According to what you said, we will set off now." ”

The plan was decided, and everyone took the horses, turned over on the horses, and galloped towards the capital.
