"Jianghu?"

Gong Hui thought of what the eldest niece had experienced before, and he didn't feel different when he asked the other party this question, but said with a wry smile: "How can there be any rivers and lakes in this world, the so-called rivers and lakes sects, behind them are all the support of the powerful, and the vendetta of the rivers and lakes is just a manifestation of the struggle of the court." ”

"The three major sects such as the Gaoque Sect are also led by the family behind the scenes?"

Gong Hui frowned, and said truthfully: "The three major sects are the polymers of each family's balance with each other, and the internal forces are intricate, but they can be regarded as having a certain degree of autonomy, and they can be regarded as being on a par with the top families. ”

"That legend, there are beings beyond the gods in all sects, is it true?"

Chen An was too lazy to pretend to be a curious little girl, so he asked directly.

Gong Hui's eyes gradually turned confused, as if he remembered something: "At the beginning, your father also asked me to investigate related issues, I worked hard to sneak into the Cold Moon Sect, and reverse the investigation of the three major sects, and sure enough, I found that above the Shengang, there are also the so-called Heavenly Dao powerhouses, they can call the wind and rain, change the topography of a place, and have all kinds of incredible powers, but there are not many of them, and the families of the entire Great Song Kingdom are combined, and they can be counted on both hands." ”

Calling for wind and rain, changing the topography?

Eight stars, there is indeed the existence of eight stars hidden in the various sects, no wonder that Huiyue Academy is so powerful and does not dare to act rashly.

What about the Nine Stars? In addition to the mysterious Nine Stars, are there any other Nine Stars in the Great Song Kingdom?

Thinking of this, Chen An didn't care to answer, and asked directly: "Is the Heavenly Dao strong, so powerful, is there still an existence above the Heavenly Dao?"

Gong Hui glanced at his eldest niece strangely, but he didn't doubt him, and said truthfully: "I haven't heard of the existence above the Heavenly Dao, but I heard that there is an old man in the palace and His Royal Highness King Xian of the frontier who have stood at the peak of the Heavenly Dao, far beyond the existence of the ordinary Heavenly Dao. ”

There is a huge gap in combat power between different cultivation paths, and it will also lead to a difference in the combat power gap between the various levels in this path, they are not called the Extreme Dao, they are called the peak of the Heavenly Dao, and it is also possible to classify the eight stars and nine stars into one level.

Chen Angang nodded, expressing his understanding, and then heard Gong Hui sigh with emotion: "When I got this news, I wanted to send it to your father immediately, but I didn't want to, he will never see it again." ”

Chen An was silent, but thinking about it, it was not too late to learn now, knowing the pattern of this world, at least he could better plan some things in the future.

The two of them just asked and answered, explained, and asked, and an afternoon passed, and at the same time, the whole picture of the entire Great Song Kingdom gradually became clear in Chen An's mind.

The hour was not early, Gong Hui didn't have dinner, so he said goodbye and left, Chen An didn't send it far, I believe Chu Ran had his own arrangements.

He just honestly rested in the room to relieve the nerves that had been tense for the past few days, and after tomorrow's flower party, he would give Luo Zhan and Bada some more strength, and he could return to Jingmen with peace of mind, manage his forces, and lay the groundwork in advance.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the people in the house sent a wide-sleeved cardigan skirt with blue and white bronzing as the bottom, and Chen An tried it and wore it without affecting the action.

There was also a maid who dressed him up, because it was a girl's outfit, so it was just a simple double mustache, Chen An felt novel, and he didn't stop it.

As soon as the hour arrived, Chen An held the mentality of real play, and together with Chu Ran Chuting, who was also obviously dressed up, took the car in the direction of the Jiping Marquis Mansion.

It belongs to the same square area, although it was deliberately dragged out for the sake of pomp, it didn't take too long, and in less than half an hour, a mansion with an ordinary façade and not very luxurious decoration, but a trace of luxury appeared in front of Chu Ran and his party.

After getting out of the car and handing over the post, Chen An and his entourage were led into the mansion by the housekeeper of the Jiping Hou Mansion who had been waiting here, and walked all the way through the courtyard along the zigzag corridor until the location of the flower fair, Liulifang.

To be honest, Chen An was a little disappointed when he saw this so-called flower party place, unlike other people who came here with various purposes, he really wanted to see what kind of flower party was held in the middle of winter, so he didn't deliberately use candlelight to investigate.

Who knew I would see such things.

The expensive artificial glazed crystal wall is not crystal clear, and occasionally there are some yellow and white impurities mixed in it, and the flower will not be an endless sea of flowers, but potted plants, and occasionally see the abbot's size flower beds.

However, the place here is indeed big enough, and the two rockeries have a large pond area, which occupies almost one-third of the area of this huge mansion, and it seems that its owner, Ji Pinghou, is indeed a lover of flowers.

Chen An entered with Chu Ran and Chu Ting, and there were already many people here, most of them were small families similar to the Chu family, and they were entertained by Gong Yi, the second son of the Marquis of Jiping.

Chu Ting frowned and said, "Seventeenth uncle, this Gong Yi is a concubine, right?"

Chu Ran said with a displeased face: "Silence, what kind of person is the Marquis of Jiping, it is a great courtesy to be able to send a son to entertain us." ”

Chen An, who didn't care much on the side, listened to the conversation between the two, and subconsciously rummaged through the information about Jipinghou in his mind.

The Marquis of Jiping has a long history, which can be traced back to the previous dynasty, the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty so far, two major events, one is the founding of the country, the other is the change of Jianye, but it is a coincidence that the previous generation of Jiping Marquis actually participated in it, not only one of the twelve founding fathers, but also the head of the Nine Pillars of Jianye, the existence of the king after his death.

Although decades have passed since the original Jianye change, the Jipinghou family has long lost its former glory, but there are people in high positions in each generation, and only the benefits of more than 10,000 households are still there.

These have ensured that the Jipinghou family has high-profile capital at any time. This is also the reason why when Chen An was still Chu Han, he did not hesitate to choose the Jiping Hou family.

From this, Chen An couldn't help but think of another family with more than 10,000 households, the Pingjin Hou family.

The same Twelve Founding Heroes, the same Jianye Nine Pillars, Li Shu's high profile once made the Manchu Dynasty look sideways.

But as a result, it immediately became the focus of the fight, the queen mother wanted to use him as a gunman, the queen wanted to kill him, and then there was a son who could cause trouble, and he was handled, and now it can be described as a dilemma, don't look at their family background is deeper than Jipinghou, so the two sides are not people, and sooner or later it will be over.

The gap between people is really bigger than the gap between people and pigs, and I don't know how Li Qi's grandson is now, I think that Xi Guogong's side will intervene, so it won't be as embarrassed as before.

Compared with Han Yan, Murong Changkong and others, Chen An's attitude towards Li Qi was much better, if it weren't for this goods, he would not have discovered the treasures in Tailing, so he could have jumped into the Eight Stars. Therefore, the calamity that led to the death of the Jingmen families was an opportunity in Chen An's eyes, and the culprit Li Qi was naturally able to treat it with a normal heart and not be hostile.

After more than half an hour, more guests arrived one after another, and Gong Yue, the eldest son of Jiping Hou, came forward and still took these people down.

It is rumored that Jiping Hou Gongzheng is getting older and always unwell, and he has been recuperating at home since he stepped down from the post of lieutenant the year before last, and rarely comes out to entertain guests.

But in Chen An's opinion, this old guy is just Taoguang and waiting for things to happen, if he really doesn't ask about the world, no matter what, he should choose the right family for his daughter to raise hope.

This Manjingxun's relatives and nobles will not end up cheapening Chu Xun of the Chu family.

What can a local tyrant in the Chu family give him?

It's nothing more than four words: soldier, armor, money, and food.

His choice of the Chu family has actually shown his ambition to be unwilling to accept the status quo.

But these have nothing to do with Chen An now, he just wants to go back and leave some fire, but he doesn't want to participate in the incident of chasing the world. Of course, it would be better to be able to attack the entire Great Song Kingdom, but he only had half a year of events, how could he do it.

Even if there were no eight or nine stars in the entire Great Song Dynasty, it would be impossible for him to dominate the world in such a short period of time.

What's more, there is such a-stirring stick existence as Huiyue Academy right now, and the future Great Song Dynasty will be unimaginably chaotic, and he hasn't sorted out a bunch of things in Donglai yet, but he doesn't want to be reckless and trapped here again.

As time passed, the sky sprinkled the long-lost daylight, shining on the glazed crystal wall very dazzling, the original few languishing out-of-season flowers, also seemed to come to life, stretching branches to embrace the light, maids and servants served wine and pastries at the right time, for the guests to take and enjoy.

There is finally a bit of the atmosphere of the flower party here, and there are also some opera juggling artists, performing in it, which can be described as elegant and vulgar appreciation.

At three o'clock, the flower party officially began, and several heavyweight guests also walked in accompanied by Jiping Hou Gongzheng to greet everyone.

But they just took a glimpse, and then disappeared, probably to a quiet place to play alone to appreciate the treasures collected by the Marquis of Jiping, leaving only their children and nephews, into the lively flower scene.

This is a friendship between noble relatives, each looking for a partner, using the marriage of children and nephews as a medium.

Of course, this kind of friendship will inevitably be a little xenophobic, for example, Chen An and his gang are not so popular, and no one has come forward to talk to them after a long time.

They are not the only ones who have this situation, Jiping Hou has a wide range of "friends", but there is more than one Jingmen, and there are also local tyrant families from Lingdong, these people are not treated well by others than the Chu family, so they can't get together to warm up.

The other is Chen An's appearance, he didn't realize it himself, he just walked around at will, but he didn't want several young men with extraordinary clothes to come up and talk.

For this kind of gentleman with gray eyes, vain steps, and obviously hollowed out by wine, Chen An has no idea of taking care of it at all, and he doesn't even have the ability to be a chess piece.

It's just that these people themselves don't realize that the colder Chen An's face is, the more they go up, and they are quite cheap. made Chen An annoyed, and he had the intention of killing.

Fortunately, he remembered his original intention of keeping a low profile and didn't want to make a big news for the time being, so he restrained himself.

Using only illusion to entertain them, they found a secluded place under a stone bridge.

But before he could stand firm, another voice with surprise and joy sounded behind him: "Girl, is that you?"
