After Nanfu City, the two changed horses at the post station and went all the way to Binxian.

They didn't go to Qucheng, they went directly to Binxian, so it only took two days of morning light. Chen An went to the Yamen of the Ship Department to hand over the seal letter, which is considered to be officially inaugurated. Of course, he didn't have anything to do, he could only be regarded as a name. The director of the Ship Department is only an eighth-rank official, and he is a fourth-rank young supervisor who has parachuted here, so naturally he only enjoys happiness and does not do anything. Besides, he doesn't know anything about ship manufacturing, and he can't show his fingers if he wants to.

His subordinates arranged a residence for him in Qucheng, which is a five-entry courtyard, although the housing prices here are not as good as those in the capital, but the dark division still acts in a low-key manner. So it's just a five-entry courtyard, a middle-class home.

But Chen An took Ning'er with him, bought a small courtyard in Binxian County, and lived there, but he just went to Qucheng to meet Qucheng and stay behind, and then stayed in Binxian and went to the ship Si Yingmao on time.

Of course, it's not that he's responsible, and it's not that he wants to hide people's eyes and ears. Rather, he concluded that all the arrangements of Lord Tingwei had a deep meaning.

The official positions of the Great Zhou Dynasty are constrained at all levels, and there are many official positions established, why did he arrange for himself to be the supervising ship department. It's like a Qucheng has nearly a thousand officials from the Taishou, the garrison to the head of the fang, if it is purely to cover people's eyes and ears, just arrange a seat casually.

Until now, the position of the Taishou of Qucheng is still vacant, and only one is left to manage the affairs of Qucheng. Of course, it is also difficult to choose the officials in Haizhou, and it is necessary for King Wu and the imperial court to nod at the same time, but that kind of position is a high-ranking official who is too guarded, Chen An is just here to play soy sauce, and it is okay to arrange an inconspicuous official at will.

Chen An couldn't help but think about it too much, maybe in the future, Haizhou will be in chaos, and even if he completes the task, he won't be able to escape at all. At that time, the sea ships of the Ship Division were his only way to survive.

Therefore, Chen An went to the ship division, inspected every day, and several principals were apprehensive, but he himself was never tired of it, discussing shipbuilding and sailing experience with some old craftsmen, and never slackened in his hard work. Studying for the sake of not knowing what goal may be slack, but for the sake of one's own life, no one will not be distracted.

Of course, there is another person who learns to pay attention, and that is Ning'er. Chen An wanted to send her back to the capital earlier, but he was afraid that she would be barbaric, unaccustomed to life in the Central Plains, and bullied.

So he let her stay for the time being and began to teach her martial arts. Ghost Bojiu has learned a lot of martial arts in the Central Plains in the Central Plains, and Nanyi also has Nanyi's technique of attacking. The little girl has learned a little, so she also has some superficial fist and foot kung fu. Of course, in Chen An, it does look very shallow.

He has eliminated many martial arts gangs, and also plundered the homes and mansions of many civil and military generals. The biggest hobby is to collect the martial arts cheats of various factions, although most of those martial arts cheats have secret doors, but the secret doors are set on the heart, and it is still possible to borrow some moves from the heart.

Chen An can't cultivate internal strength, so he practices external skills crazily, and he can't be called a grandmaster in martial arts, but he can also be regarded as a master, and it is more than enough to guide the little girl to practice martial arts.

Now because of the secret technique of the ghost uncle, Chen An's internal strength has become great, and many martial arts classics have been bypassed, and his vision is even higher.

The little girl practices hard, and there is a famous teacher to guide her, which can really be said to be a thousand miles a day. However, learning martial arts is gradual, and there is no quick fix. Chen An didn't dare to use that kind of strange medicine on her, as a pharmacist, he later guessed that if the medicinal power of that medicine was completely released, it would be able to increase the power of more than two nails, although he didn't understand why the seemingly weak human body could actually extract such a large amount of power, but he knew that these powers could directly support a master with great internal strength, not to mention his own meridians atrophied and weak.

But Chen An survived unharmed, although his skills were not as exaggerated as increasing by two jiazi, he was also pushed to the ranks of top masters, which shows what happened after he fell unconscious. He only had a rough guess in his heart: in the past ten years, he had been able to successfully control the changes in his qi and blood by combining poison and martial arts, which was a skill that only top masters could have. So he was able to directly achieve Zhou Tian's consummation with the help of that power, and something happened that he didn't know, channeling the meridians for him and escaping most of his strength, otherwise he would definitely be killed by an explosion.

So he hid the remaining three bottles of medicine and didn't dare to use them again, it was a terrible thing.

Chen An knew that the little girl practiced so hard to take revenge, but he didn't have the naïve idea of eliminating her hatred and letting her grow up happily. Man always needs a reason to live in the world. Like isn't that true of himself?

Therefore, if the little girl wants to learn, he will teach everything, including poison. The Five Poisons Heart Sutra is not yet mature, Chen An is more to teach her the techniques of poisoning, first of all, she must understand the medium of toxins, such as air, such as water, diet, and even insects. Of course, insects belong to Gu arts, and the little girl is better than Chen An in this regard. After studying the medium thoroughly, you can use incense, throw powder, and even integrate martial arts moves, such as acupuncture, etc., to attract toxins and poison people. These are all the experiences that Chen An has gained from the sea of corpses and blood over the years, and they are all private goods.

Of course, the Five Poisons Heart Sutra is still immature, but Chen An, the Five Poisons Theory, repeatedly emphasized to Ning Er. Most of the players he dealt with were skilled players, and there were some top masters whose internal strength had reached the realm of transformation. Ordinary toxins have limited effect on them, and this is where mixed poisons are used. Just like when Chen An dealt with Lu Chengjun, he used five kinds of mixed poisons. If these poisons are against each other, it will be the same as not being poisoned for Lu Chengjun. It's not a joke to fight poison with poison, the top masters can carry qi and blood at will, and they can indeed do this.

At this time, it is necessary to know all kinds of medicinal properties well, so that their toxicity can complement each other, rather than clashing with each other, and at that time, even Zhou Tian Consummation Martial Arts Grandmaster said that if you die, you can die.

Ning Er's talent for learning martial arts is not high, but he is amazingly talented in learning poison, after all, he is a Yiren who controls insects and drives away Gu, and he will always have some talent since he was a child.

That Divine Soul Incense Burner, Chen An didn't know what it was at all, but it seemed to be of great help to Ning Er, and in less than a month, she would be able to cultivate poisonous weeds and raise Gu worms. Poisonous weeds and poisonous insects are naturally cultivated by themselves, so that they can have a better understanding of their medicinal properties, and even if they are accidentally poisoned, they can be rescued at will. After all, she is still far from Chen An's realm where any poison can be twisted with her fingers.

One of the two studied the craftsman's shipbuilding skills, and the other practiced poison arts, and their lives were quite fulfilling, and in a blink of an eye, a few months passed and entered the golden autumn season.

Zhang Xia and the others had no news at all, but Chen An was not in a hurry about this, after all, it was so easy to fight against the vassal king, and it was understandable that it took a long time to prepare.

However, his other dark line sent Mu Shaoping's news, which made him feel refreshed for a while. Mu Shaoping turned out to be in Lincheng in Jiangnan Province, which made him excited, and he immediately rode his horse and whip to Lincheng.

Lincheng is the gateway of Fuzhou into Haizhou, and Binxian has gone deep into Haizhou, so the road is not close, Chen An rode a fast horse, all the way through the county.

At first, I thought about it in my heart, but I didn't care much about it, but gradually I realized that all the counties along the road were a barren scene.

Since the beginning of spring, there has not been a drop of rain in the entire Gangnam Province, and the sun is shining brightly when midsummer arrives, and the grass and trees are withered and yellow. Chen An's internal strength has reached the realm of transformation, and it is almost impossible to invade the cold and heat, but it is also difficult to withstand the scorching sun, let alone ordinary people.

Chen An's journey is like stepping on the Shura Hell, and the people on the side of the road are starving to death and thirsty to death. He has been on the beach in Binxian County, where the climate is pleasant and the wind and rain are smooth, but he has heard of a great drought in Jiangnan Province, but he has never seen it with his own eyes.

In fact, this kind of rare drought in a hundred years, the imperial court has also dealt with it, and Jiangnan Province is not a place of frequent drought, so the grain stored in previous years can naturally be taken out for disaster relief. But now it is in a sensitive period, and whether the people of Haizhou are in charge of the court or the king of Wu is arguing endlessly in the court.

Those bigwigs were arguing, and the little officials below naturally didn't dare to act rashly, so in the end, it caused the scene that Chen An saw.

Whether this is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster is really impossible to say.

He sighed and continued to ride his horse, the city approaching.

Maybe it's the neighboring prefectures, or maybe the people in the court have finally come up with a reason, and the famine in Lincheng has been brought under control and is radiating to other state capitals.

A disaster relief team carried food, set off from Fuzhou, and traveled through Lincheng to the entire Jiangnan Road.

There were also many people who fled the city in the vicinity, and they were miserable, and they slept on the streets like beggars. What's more, because of hunger and lack of water to clean, many lesions are born, coughing up blood and pus.

Chen An's mind is changeable, and there is a vicious thought condensed in his heart. If this idea can be realized, maybe it will be able to remove the threat of King Wu of Haizhou for the imperial court, which will be a great achievement, and when the time comes, he will be promoted to increase his power and have a certain amount of help for his revenge.

But only for a moment he dispelled this idea, although he killed people without calculation, but after all, he was not hard-hearted, looking at those ragged and unkempt victims, walking corpses fleeing everywhere, how could that idea be implemented, heaven and earth are not merciful to all things as dogs, whether it is natural disasters or man-made disasters, they should not come from their own hands.

But the next moment, he changed his mind and scolded himself, what qualifications do he have to pity others, who will pity him, only the truly strong deserve to have mercy. He is now just a poor worm who can't even avenge the revenge of extermination, how can he deserve to pity others, he has no qualifications, and he has no energy to care about the lives and deaths of others.

This mission can be described as nine deaths, the entire Haizhou is the territory of King Wu, and dealing with King Wu on King Wu's territory is not looking for death. Even if you can escape by sea boat, but from Haizhou Mufu to Binxian is thousands of miles, no matter whether your mission is successful or unsuccessful, this road is a chasm. But if that method can be implemented, Haizhou will inevitably be in chaos, and the chances of escaping will also be greatly increased.

For a while, Chen An couldn't make up his mind, so he simply didn't think about it anymore and concentrated on his purpose this time, as for the future, he could only act at the opportunity.
