Chapter 597: All the way north

When Chen An left from Nanjun City, the sixty-year-old director flattered him in every way, and even wanted to send a team of dependents who met the identity of the innate grandmaster to Chen An, but Chen An directly refused. If it is really a meeting of gongs and drums all the way to the capital, it will not be laughed to death by those relatives and friends.

The chief director obviously knew that this was inappropriate, so he thought of a way to send Chen An a few eighth-grade level guards.

The eighth rank doesn't seem to be strong, but Nanjun has always been a barren place for martial arts, and there are only two people in the second rank on the bright side, and there are only about a dozen people in the third grade. Yu Hong can be the head of a large commercial bank, but he is only at the level of six products, and as the escort of the commercial bank, the eight products can already be regarded as elite.

What's more, according to Yu Hong's words, Nanjun City has always been barren, whether it is martial arts or other, the people of the Martial Arts Academy give grade evaluation, mostly according to the script, unlike the martial arts academy in many places in the Central Plains The evaluation is extremely authoritative, they evaluate the combat power of the warriors in an all-round way through martial arts demonstrations, and give the evaluation of the actual combat power with their actual attack power as a reference.

Sometimes it is normal for a person who has not yet practiced true qi to have the evaluation of the five grades.

According to Yu Hong's judgment, these guards of the firm have been fighting with fierce beasts in the mountains and forests of southern Xinjiang all the year round, and they are all the elite of the firms.

This actually has little to do with the Evil Pill, in business, Chen An's employment of the Evil Pill in Hong is considered a fair transaction, although the value is not very equal, but you and I are willing, it is a fair deal.

It's just that Chen An's identity is there, at first the eldest director was because he didn't believe it, but now that he sees the Evil Pill, how can there be anything that he doesn't believe, not to mention anything else, even among the ordinary innate sect masters, there are very few people who can casually take out a Evil Pill and trade it.

Pleasing the strong, especially the strong at the innate grandmaster level, is the instinct of all the people in the entire Great Zhou world who have experienced seven years of demon disasters.

Actually, Chen An didn't have any ideas about guarding or not guarding, but he did lack a few errand runners, so he actually agreed, and he didn't ask for much, and there were only six people who cut Yu Hong and the coachman.

Among these six people are a bunch of brothers Ding Chang and Ding Yi who opened the road in front, as well as Lao Jia, an experienced old dart player who escorted the car in the middle, and Hua Yi, a swordsman who seemed relatively silent, and two swordsmen Hu Shen and Tan Lao Qi who followed the car.

Now it is Ding Chang, one of the two brothers who explored the road in front, who has come down to report the news.

"Wind ahead?"

Chen An naturally knew that this was not a literal meaning, and the candlelight shadow technique "looked" at the front of the car as if he was rolling his eyes, where smoke and dust were rising, and when he zoomed in, he found that it was actually two groups, no, it should be several groups of people fighting on the side of the road.

"Great East, parking. Yu Hongxian gave an order to the middle-aged coachman who was driving outside, and then turned to the people outside the car: "Everyone be on guard, Xiao Chang, you and Xiao Yi will go to the front to continue to investigate, and come back at any time to report the news." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Looking at the backs of the two brothers walking forward, Yu Hongcai suddenly realized that he seemed to be a little overstepping, and the chief director originally dispatched people to sell favors for the sake of selling favors, using people who he usually made friends with or used to, so he became accustomed to it.

A little embarrassed, he turned around and looked at Chen An and said, "Your Excellency, look at ......"

Chen An waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm impatient with these worlds, you just decide." ”

He had actually seen it clearly, there was nothing special about a group of caravans encountering a strongman robbery, and it was not aimed at them, usually when he encountered this situation on the road, it was good to bypass it, and it was up to Yu Hong to deal with it.

Yu Hong let out a sigh, he was really afraid that Chen An would be more serious, after all, the other party was the leader of this trip, not escorting him by himself, and some self-conscious strong people might not mind this.

The Ding brothers, who went to explore the way, soon came back and reported to Chen An and the others: "Your Excellency, the manager, in front of you are several masters of Erlongshan Lvyi Village who are opening and doing business, how should we do the accounts?"

Chen An listened to them with great difficulty, so he simply signaled Yu Hong to take the idea.

Yu Hong thought for a while and asked, "Erlong Mountain opened today, do you know why?"

After the demon disaster, almost everyone practices martial arts, and the ban is forbidden by martial arts, and the natural bandits are endless, but the well-known green forest bandits generally abide by morality, only asking for money to buy roads, and rarely kill or injure people, let alone the robbery of the sword.

These two Longshan Luyi Village are also well-known on the ground of Nanfu Road, why can't I think of it today, and I did it.

Ding Chang seemed to have known that Yu Hong would have this doubt, and said in the foreword: "The main reason is that the group of businessmen came in the wrong way, and it seems to be involved with the ghosts of the South China Sea, and secondly, the old man Zhang of Taiyimen has recently celebrated his sixtieth birthday, and they may want to prepare a rich birthday gift for him." You also know that the Shangshan Tiger of Luyi Village has sat down with Mr. Zhang for a few days to listen to the lecture, and he also thinks of himself as a subordinate of the Tai Sect, and his shot is too shabby to look good. ”

Yu Hong shook his head and said: "Pull it down, where do they dare to provoke the real ghosts, if you want to come for that birthday gift, forget it, it's none of our business, let's show the banner, let's bypass from the side." ”

The Ding brothers immediately took the order to do it, and it didn't take long for the driver to set off again, bypassing the edge of the battlefield in front of him.

The group just glanced at their banners, and didn't care too much, Nanjun's car involved the interests of many parties, under normal circumstances, no one would move, and Chen An and his party passed the customs safely.

The road was dull again, and Chen An continued to speak: "Manager Yu, I just heard you talk about ghost disciples, I don't know what this ghost disciple is?"

Yu Hong's face froze, and a faint sense of fear flashed, and after a while, he forced a smile and said, "How can Your Excellency be interested in this?"

Chen An's expression remained unchanged and said: "I'm interested in many things, but it's the general manager, you don't even fear the demons, aren't you afraid of these cultists?"

There was no expected rebuttal, and the response that Chen An waited for was silence, which meant some acquiescence in it, which made Chen An a little surprised, not too imaginable, how could the believers who believed in the funny ghost king of ten thousand poisons make people so afraid.

"I'm not afraid of jokes, the Northern Martial Arts doesn't know, but in the Southern Martial Arts, there are indeed a lot of fears about this group of ghosts. ”

After waiting for a long time, Yu Hong finally adjusted his mood and said: "The god they believe in is the ghost man who ravaged Haizhou at the beginning, the big devil who was famous all over the world before the seven years of demon disaster. ”

Yu Hong paused, but he didn't look at Chen An, and similarly, he didn't say the name "Chen An", but just said in detail: "The First Battle of the East China Sea is sometimes called the First Battle of the Gods, the First Battle of the Demons, because it is regarded by everyone as the beginning of the seven-year demon disaster, and the protagonist of the same East China Sea First War, the Ten Thousand Poisonous Ghost King, is often regarded as the Demon King who released the demons." ”

Chen An's eyes narrowed slightly: "This kind of unfounded statement, some people believe it?"

Yu Hong shook his head and said: "People of insight don't believe it, but Dousheng Xiaomin is convinced, after seven years of demon disasters, the people who witnessed this incident are almost dead, and the rest of the people don't have the idea of coming out to refute the rumors, this kind of statement is even more noisy, and it has almost been compiled into real history by people with intentions." Especially in the area of the two states of the original Haifu, which had been poisoned by that person, it was even more fearful. You also know that some beliefs are born out of fear, and they are born from ghosts who believe in the king of all poisons. ”

"Someone with a heart?"

Regarding the special reference in Yu Hong's words, Chen An is quite sensitive.

And Yu Hong was caught by this handle, and said with some bitterness in his mouth: "The villain actually doesn't know, he just hearsed the words of some predecessors in the rivers and lakes." ”

Chen An thought about it, more than ten years ago, this guy was in his early twenties, not to mention such secrets of the rivers and lakes, even ordinary knowledge is very shallow, and it is indeed a little inappropriate to ask him.

Yu Hong was very conscious, he couldn't answer this question, in order to make up for it and overcome the cringe in his heart, without Chen An's questioning, he began to introduce the ghost belief and ghost disciples in detail.

"At first, the belief of the Ten Thousand Poisonous Ghost King was only the poor people of the two states of Haifu, they were displaced, the day was precarious, and after seven years of demon disasters, they began to believe in the source of their fear because of the fear in their hearts. I am convinced of the words of the Ten Thousand Poisonous Ghost King to destroy the world and recreate the world. Later, not limited to the two states of Haifu, some people who were brutal by nature also joined them, they were quite fond of those doctrines involving destruction, and the ghosts began to be aggressive, and they once swept the entire south after the demon disaster, although they were quickly extinguished by the elite rebels of the original hundred battles, but the damage caused was deeper than the demons, not only material, but also ideological......"

Chen An nodded, without any expression of these messages, as if he was still thinking about the previous "person with a heart".

In this way, the carriages and horses gradually drove into the city, which seemed to be a lot more lively than usual, but most of the extra people were Jianghu people with swords and swords, and many inns were full. Fortunately, Chen An also has a lot of people who are too picky, walking in the wilderness, even a broken temple can live, so Yu Hong casually found a clean inn here to stay.

After a night's rest, the coachman Dadong put on the carriage and horses, and Chen An and his party continued to set off, because the final destination of the capital city of Dazhou had been decided, so they did not go to other places, but chose the road all the way to the north.

On the second day, it was almost dusk, and the group finally arrived at Jiangxia Fort, which seemed to be bigger than Tongcheng, of course, more lively than Tongcheng, Chen An and his party took a lot of effort to find a place to stay.

After arranging the coachman guards, Yu Hong took Chen An, or Chen An took Yu Hong out of the door, saying that he was going to visit an old friend.

Yu Hong was a little surprised, a little expected complicated look, the two walked to a castle-style building, and the plaque of the building was impressively written with the three big characters "Taiyimen".

Looking at this plaque, Chen An's face was also a little complicated, in fact, he did not have a deep friendship with Zhang Hatshui, but after all, he was the first old man he saw after he came back, so he was inevitably a little hesitant.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh before turning his head to Yu Hong, who had the same complicated color behind him: "You go and call the door, just say that the old man of Dongtai Mingyue Palace came to visit." ”
