Chapter 7: The Phantom of the Old House

The Holy Court of Light Hall takes the meaning of righteousness and light.

Chen An has a lot of complaints about this name, the Ming Division is a sentry, the Blood Division is a murderer, and the Dark Division is even more invisible, no matter how you look at it, it can't touch the edge of the Zhengda Light. The Chinese Wu of the Dynasty even complained about the Holy Court, because the existence of the Holy Court was like a knife hanging over their heads, and people couldn't help but want to resist.

Chen An held his breath and walked in carelessly.

Xu Qian sat in the hall and looked directly at Chen An, who came in to report, nodded with satisfaction, and praised: "Not bad, I haven't seen you for more than a month, and my skills are a little deeper, I really didn't look at the wrong person, although you are young, you are a person who can achieve great things." ”

"Thank you for your love, it's all the work of adulthood. Chen An replied with a humble face, although he deliberately restrained himself, the old disease was gone, and the complexion on his face was completely different from the past, there was no need to deceive people.

"Haha, too much modesty is pride. Xu Qian smiled slightly, and then changed his tone and said: "In this mission, you have shown great patience and forbearance, and during the mission, you did not ask for any help from the imperial court, no matter what difficulties and dangers, you are alone to face." Sure enough, you have lived up to the expectations of your own officials, and it seems that you can already stand alone. ”

Chen An's eyes froze, and he heard that there was something in Xu Qian's words, and said suspiciously: "Lord Tingwei means ......"

"Holy Longen, I specially give you the four-grade capital prison and the five-clawed golden scale guard. I don't thank Your Majesty yet. ”

Chen An naturally knew the rules, and hurriedly bowed to the east: "Your Majesty, the emperor's grace is vast, and the ministers will never give up." But in his heart, there is a different scene, as the so-called world does not have a free lunch, to give yourself such a big benefit, things are definitely not simple. But Tingwei Xu Qian doesn't know why he has always been kind to himself, and he shouldn't hurt himself, so he just took his orders.

I heard Xu Qian continue: "If Chengping is today, my Great Zhou is strong, and although Beirong sometimes invades the border, it is only a disease of scabies, and it is not enough to worry about. What really worries His Majesty is still within our court. In order to seek the stability of the country, the first emperor cast a tripod to seal the country, but at that time, it quickly stabilized the people's hearts and the world was in harmony. But the times have changed, and now there is a country in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the government decree is not smooth, resulting in a famine in the south, and there is nowhere to transfer grain, and there is no winter clothing to transport in the snowstorm in the north. Your Majesty empathizes, you don't know how to eat, you can't sleep at night, and you can't replace it with your hate. ”

Chen An saw Xu Qian looking over with a sad look on his face, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is merciful, then Your Majesty means ......"

Xu Qian's face remained unchanged, and he gently spit out two words: "Cut the domain." ”

Although Chen An had already guessed, he still couldn't help but show a look of shock, and told me this, didn't he want me to ......

His eyes narrowed slightly, the world was Kyushu, Gyeonggi Longzhou Tiger was located in the Central Plains, looking down on the land of Cangqing Mansion and Zhang. Then King Qi of Qingzhou and King Ning of Zhangzhou are of course not among the feudal domains. The King of Qin in Yunzhou in the northwest, and the King of Jin in Youzhou with heavy troops are the most in line with the standard of His Majesty's henchmen. As soon as Zhang Yong, who was friendly with the King of Qin, died, and the 300,000 border troops were leaderless, it seems that His Majesty has already done it, so he naturally doesn't need himself. Then only the south is left, the place where the king of Nanzhou Shu lives is too sinister, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it also means that it is not easy to enter or exit, and it is not a big threat to the central government, it must be placed in the last one, and it is best to deter him to take the initiative to surrender. Therefore, his mission this time is likely to deal with King Wu of Haizhou.

Sure enough, I only heard Xu Qian continue: "The matter of cutting the feudal domain is too far away, and it is just an idea of His Majesty. ”

Chen An couldn't help but complain in his heart: Zhang Yongdu is dead, it's just an idea, a deceitful ghost.

Xu Qian changed the topic: "What I want to tell you is another thing, there are often pirates on the coast of the South China Sea, and even tens of thousands of people have been gathered to wreak havoc on coastal defense, Haizhou Wu Wang is not good for suppressing bandits, in the end, the court has to go out, this is an opportunity for you to experience, Your Majesty has issued an order, let you be the supervisor of Haining Weidu, and assist Haining Weidu to build ships and suppress bandits." You can go to office at a later date. ”

"Bandits. Chen An was stunned, he didn't want his topic to change so quickly, he didn't react for a while, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood the true meaning, the suppression of bandits is fake, the cutting of the feudal domain is true, and the bandit may be raised by the imperial court.

Thinking of this, Chen An was at a loss for a while, and hesitated: "My lord, I ......"

Xu Qian didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then interrupted: "You can rest assured to do it boldly, Your Majesty and I support you." ”

Chen An was stunned, this means that there is no evidence, as long as King Wu is dead. He thought about it and didn't have anything to say, so he could only intervene and salute: "Subordinate, understand." ”

As soon as he understood the two words, Xu Qian showed a knowing smile: "You are ready to prepare, choose a day to take office, and you are also allowed to pick up troops and generals, at most one school." ”

Chen Anxin moved, the Holy Court followed the military system, the Great Zhou military system was five people for one team, ten soldiers for one flag, and three banners for one school, that is to say, he could choose one hundred and fifty people as his own soldiers to accompany him, and these one hundred and fifty people were all elite of the dark division, and they could form a sect on the rivers and lakes. Even if he doesn't value power anymore, he can't help but have a hint of the pleasure of being a villain.

Chen An was dazed until he walked out of the Holy Court Hall.

At this time, although it was already night, it was still early before the curfew, and he was not in a hurry to go back, just wandering along the way to think about the gains and losses of these days.

Over the years, in order to take revenge, he has desperately practiced and developed poisons, and seems to have overlooked one thing, power is the most powerful weapon in the world. If he had Xu Qian's power, he would kill whoever he killed, and he would still be cultivating hard here, and he would have ordered his subordinates to avenge himself.

He walked out of the inner city and turned into Tongwenfang, a gust of night wind blew, blowing him shivering, no, how could he have this idea, Zhang Yong held 300,000 border troops, didn't he still die, the emperor is rich in the world and is still controlled by the kings, Xu Qian's high position and power are just a knife of the emperor, and if you want to be yourself, you can't talk about what you want. This is because my skills are improving too fast, and my foundation is unstable, so I have a trace of demons.

He has a resolute personality, and in a blink of an eye, he clears up distracting thoughts and hugs Yuan Shouyi, although he is still walking on the official road, his heart lake is as smooth as a mirror, and the waves are not prosperous.

After another moment, the road was over, and he raised his head, only to see a courtyard in front of him, and the vermilion lacquer gate seemed to have just been refreshed, and the red and gorgeous were very gratifying. The plaque on the door reads two big characters "Lin Mansion". Looking at those two words, Chen An couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he had never set foot here in ten years, even if he came to Tongwenfang on business, he would not glance in this direction.

Today, there are many demons in his heart, and he actually brought him to this place, which is not a sign in the dark. Thinking of this, he was about to turn around and leave, and his face was struggling. In the past, I didn't come because I was afraid that my identity would be discovered, but now, I'm afraid that no one will find out, if there is really an enemy of the Chen family here, I will save myself from looking for it all over the world.

Thinking about it, Chen An exhaled lightly, jumped into the courtyard in front of him. The house is not big, but it is a courtyard with five entrances, after all, Tongwenfang is inhabited by important members of the imperial court, every inch of gold and land, and Chen Hong was just a doctor back then. Presumably, the official surnamed Lin who lives here now is not big.

Chen An walked there, there was a sense of strangeness, ten years, at that time he was still a boy with a hanging bun, the memory was not deep, this courtyard has been renovated several times, there is really nothing worth his memory.

After walking a few more steps, he came to the western courtyard, where he had lived, but now there was an additional wall, enclosing an inner courtyard, connected by an arch. He stepped in, looked at it twice, and couldn't help but feel excited, things are people, not the world.

"Xiaowen, Xiaowen, is Daddy back? A soft voice sounded in the courtyard, probably to say that he had drunk some cold wind in a hurry, and actually coughed. Chen An turned his head to see that it was a young girl of twenty-eight Shaohua, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, and a delicate appearance, but her face was slightly pale, and she seemed to be sick.

"No, Miss, Master Xie and Master Xie went to the Moon Tower, and they estimated that they would not be able to come back until the first hour of the morning. Out of the room, a twelve or thirteen-year-old maid with a double beard replied crisply.

"Daddy too, this northern night is dark and windy, and he didn't bring his mother to sew him a big coat, if the wind blows after drinking, and suffers from the wind and cold, how can it be good, cough cough. ”

Although Chen An didn't think he was a gentleman, he didn't want to deceive people in the dark room, and was about to turn around and leave, but when he heard the coughing sound of Miss Lin, he didn't know what kind of mentality, he took out a porcelain bottle from his body and threw it into his boudoir casually.

The "Chalcedony Nourishing Essence Pill" in the porcelain bottle was developed by Chen An to relieve his own pain, with nourishment as the main thing and treatment as the supplement, even if Miss Lin's illness is not right, it can also relieve the pain and nourish the body. He himself can't use it now, so he sent it out casually, and he had the right to think about it.

His special technique of porcelain vase castration was so fast that the master and servant in the courtyard did not notice it, but after passing through the window, the speed slowed down suddenly, and it actually landed on the dresser by the window lightly and skillfully.

At this time, Chen An had already come to the north main house. There is not much change here, and you can still see a little shadow of the past, it should be that the rescue was timely and not burned too much by the fire.

The moonlight faded, no one was inside, and it was pitch black. Chen An walked into it and looked around, but he couldn't see anything.

Suddenly, a fierce wind burst out and went straight to Chen An's door. Chen An sneered on his face, and his fingers bent and clawed to meet him. He had already discovered that there was still one person in the room, and although the other party was breathing and heartbeat, he still had no ability to restrain his body temperature. Chen An practiced the Cold Ice Charm Skill, which was the most sensitive to temperature, so he naturally noticed it early.

"Hammer" Chen An's fingertips collided with the fierce wind, and there was a sound of gold and iron resonating. Between the lightning and flint, Chen An could still change his moves, his body did not move, his arm was pulled and hooked, and the person in front of him snorted, and seemed to have suffered a loss. He did not hesitate, turned over and retreated, went through the window, and went up the wall between the ups and downs, without a trace, and walked very decisively.

Is it too yin claw, Chen An looked down at his hand, that person actually used the cold flame ice charm skill, but the skill was shallow, and he could only use the cultivation of the too yin claw. These superior martial arts are not something that can be achieved through hard practice. As the so-called poor and rich in martial arts, training martial arts requires a lot of resources, otherwise if you practice one wrong place, you may end up with a lifelong disability.

There are not many people in the dark division who practice the Cold Flame Ice Charm Skill, just because once the Taiyin Claw is practiced, it must be soaked in a highly poisonous liquid to assist in cultivation, and only in this way can it be practiced into the Cold Ghost Claw. Soaking in that kind of medicinal liquid is tantamount to enduring the cruel criminal law, ten fingers connected to the heart, there is really the pain of ten thousand insects devouring the heart, and those who can still cultivate quietly under this kind of pain, even if they practice, are people with distorted personalities and perverted behaviors.

Chen An is proficient in pharmacology, and did not completely follow the records of the exercises, but dispensed his own medicine according to its medicinal properties, which was more than a thousand times better than the previous original, not only was the pain much less, but also the effect of integrating the flame poison into the yin poison and cold poison, and it was definitely a blood seal to seal the throat with one claw.

Chen An has always been ruthless, and just now he directly crossed a trace of yin poison into the other party's body, now thinking about it, that person acts in the style of the dark division, it may be his own person, isn't this the big water that washed the Dragon King Temple.
