In the quiet alley, a dark figure walked in slowly, and then knocked softly on the door.

This is Yan Xin's independent courtyard, after hearing the knock on the door, Yan Xin, who was drinking alone in the courtyard, was stunned for a moment, picked up a short knife casually, and walked to the door gently.

Squeak.

The door was opened, and the short knife that had been swung was taken back by Yan Xin.

"Why are you here?" Yan Xin looked stunned, looking at the man in black who suddenly arrived, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Why can't I come?" the man in black took off his cloak and walked into the courtyard with a smile.

It turned out to be Huo Yi, who appeared in Xihe County before and had a conversation with Yan Xin, I saw that Huo Yi didn't have the slightest sense of being a guest, he sat in the courtyard with a big grin, glanced at the wine on the table, and said with a smile: "It's still the same as before, I like to drink by myself when I have nothing to do." ”

Yan Xin gently closed the door, sat in the courtyard together, handed Huo Yi a wine glass, and said, "Since you're here, let's drink some together." ”

"Yes, since that incident, I'm afraid it's been a few years, and I haven't been able to drink with Brother Yan. Huo Yi laughed, took the wine glass, poured himself a glass, and then the two of them drank it all as soon as they touched it.

"Is there any mission for this time?" asked Yan Xin, who was pouring wine on one side, intentionally or unintentionally.

Huo Yi smiled and said, "Brother Yan, you are so smart and tired. ”

"I've drunk the wine too, shouldn't I say something?" Yan Xin said with a sly expression.

"Despicable. Huo Yi was stunned for a moment, and smiled helplessly. Then he slowly spoke: "Of the three things, two of them are related to the Chen Tianze you asked me to check, and the rest are related to you." ”

"Tell me. Yan Xin was suddenly interested.

Originally, Yan Xin didn't have much of an impression of this Chen Tianze, but he just felt that it was worth making friends with Sun Chun, and the rest did not think deeply.

But after contact, Yan Xin suddenly found that he couldn't see through this guy who came from the countryside but talked extraordinarily, which suddenly aroused Yan Xin's curiosity.

As Hong Huangyan gradually surfaced, the two killers died inexplicably in the dense forest, Yan Xin knew that this character was not simple, and it was even more bizarre to let Huo Yi go to investigate but found nothing. The battle a few days ago made Yan Xin's heart tremble, it was the first time he had seen such a fierce beast when he was so big, and Hong Huangyan in that rage.

Yan Xin had never seen gluttony, but he had heard a lot about this kind of ancient divine beast, and after coming back, he found out that the giant beast that protected Chen Tianze turned out to be a famous glutton, and he could understand human nature.

The more confusing, the more curious it is.

Huo Yi took a sip of wine before he slowly spoke: "The first thing is that the eldest lady of the Hunting Heaven Gate, after the matter of demolishing the county guard mansion was learned by the superiors, not only did she not blame, but also issued an order, asking for the investigation and punishment of the county guard of Xihe County, the decree will arrive tomorrow, and the county guard will spend the rest of her life in prison in the future." ”

Yan Xin's face was calm, he had expected this matter a long time ago. First, although the county guard has been operating in Xihe County for many years, he is too greedy and ugly, which has long caused dissatisfaction, and it is a matter of time before he is disposed of. The second is that the Heaven Hunting Gate has stood tall in the Holy Empire for so many years, and the court naturally has a lot of backers, how can it be a small county guard that can compete?

"What about the second one?" Yan Xin asked.

"The second thing is about Chen Tianze and the divine beast he raised. Huo Yi squinted his eyes and said softly: "After you reported the matter of Chen Tianze's raising of ancient divine beasts, the boss was shocked for a long time, and convened several bigwigs overnight to discuss, and finally came to the conclusion that this person could be in charge, and decided to promote him to the sixth rank of the ruling and transfer him to the state. ”

"Merge the state?" Yan Xin frowned, it stands to reason that the adjudicator's promotion will be chosen nearby, Chen Tianze is a person from Xihe County, so it stands to reason that if he is promoted, he should be transferred to Sizhou, why choose the distant merger state?

"Do you think something is wrong?" Huo Yi smiled, but his expression was extremely solemn, and said: "It seems that the top has also noticed the clue, so he was transferred to Bingzhou, and he is estimated to be tempted." Of course, this is just my guess. ”

Yan Xin frowned, nodded and said, "I guess that's what it means." ”

"The last thing is about you. Huo Yi smiled mysteriously, his expression immediately lightened a lot, and said with a smile: "This time the killer of the demon tribe has meritorious, and the boss has decided to promote you to the six-rank judge, congratulations to Brother Yan." ”

Yan Xin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he would also be a blessing in disguise, and then he regained his calm and nodded with a smile, and said, "Where are you going?"

"Sizhou. Huo Yi's expression collapsed suddenly.

Yan Xin squinted his eyes, pulled the corners of his mouth, and sneered: "It's better to go back to the old place, that dirty place." ”

Huo Yi drank to himself, as if he hadn't heard this sentence at all.

――

When Chen Tianze returned to the branch, it was already evening, and from a distance, he saw an old man with a pickaxe skull squatting at the door, his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking.

It seemed to be a little familiar, but because he couldn't see his face clearly, Chen Tianze didn't dare to believe where he came from or where he had seen it.

Chen Tianze limped to the door, ignored the thin old man in tattered clothes, and walked straight to the branch.

Although the adjudicator is a very unique institution, stationed in various places in the name of eliminating harm for the people, it rarely helps some beggars who are hungry, after all, the adjudicators above the middle grade are expressly forbidden to contact outsiders, and the low-grade adjudicators are also living a tight life, how can they have that leisure.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the thin old man suddenly raised his head, looked at Chen Tianze who was walking by his side, hurriedly got up, pulled out Chen Tianze, and said, "Lord Chen, you are back." ”

Chen Tianze, who was pulled by his sleeve, grinned because of the wound, shook off the old man's hand, turned his head, and said suspiciously: "Are you?"

"Lord Chen, below is called Hao Lianmingjing. The old man also seemed to sense Chen Tianze's dissatisfaction, and bowed down and apologized.

Chen Tianze frowned, and finally remembered this guy, it turned out to be the pious man he met in the lumber yard that day, that person was so stubborn that he was helpless.

"Who are you?" Chen Tianze was stunned for a moment, then wondered.

Lord Chen's words that day made Zai Xia quite instructive, and I came here to express my gratitude to Lord Chen. The old man, who called himself Hao Lian Mingjing, bowed again and saluted.

Chen Tianze hurriedly helped the old man up, and said with a smile: "Sir, you must not be like this, you are just talking nonsense, you can't talk about teachings, and you can't stand this big gift." ”

Hao Lianmingjing got up and said with a smile: "Lord Chen talks well, presumably from a rich family. ”

Rich and noble?

Chen Tianze's eyes were in a trance, but he just chuckled and said: "The old gentleman has won the award, and he is just a commoner below, where does he get rich and noble." ”

Hao didn't even say much, just smiled, and then said softly: "Lord Chen, I heard that Lord Chen has a unique opinion on the word faith, so I still want to ask for advice this time. ”

Chen Tianze had a headache, this old guy is really stubborn.

"I can't talk about unique opinions, it's all nonsense, and I can't say why, Mr. Hao Lian still don't be embarrassed. As he spoke, Chen Tianze looked up at the gate of the branch, the door was still closed at the moment, and there was nothing to do, so he pointed to the door and said with a smile: "Mr. Hao Lian doesn't seem to have dinner yet, let's go, please eat." ”

I thought that Hao Lianming would refuse, but I never thought that this person was not thin at all, and said with a smile: "Then I wrote about Lord Chen first, Lord Chen is kind-hearted, and there will be good rewards." ”

Chen Tianze had goosebumps all over his body, and he was praised by a guy who could be his grandfather, which was really not that taste.

Zhao Yi didn't know where to fool around, and the others in the branch were nowhere to be found, so Chen Tianze had to limp to cook.

After a simple dinner, Hao Lianmingjing sat in Chen Tianze's courtyard and chattered, "Have you heard of Xiuning Palace?"

Chen Tianze was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Xiuning Palace can be regarded as one of the earliest temples on the sacred continent, it is rumored that there are gods living there, but Chen Tianze is not stupid, it is true that there are masters who can shake heaven and earth in this world, but the ghosts and gods say that Chen Tianze never believes it.

It's just that Xiuning Palace has been rarely known to outsiders for thousands of years, and then there have been countless ups and downs of the temple, and so far, the Xiuning Palace Temple has rarely been mentioned, and ordinary people naturally don't know that there is such an existence.

In recent decades, the most rapid development should be the Xuelu Mountain Temple, it is rumored that even the royal family of the Holy Empire will go to the Xuelu Mountain Temple every year to pray for blessings, and the emperor himself is a loyal and devout person of the Xuelu Mountain Temple.

"Xiuning Palace Temple is the most desirable sacred place in the next, when I was young, I wanted to go there to pray for blessings, but I was blocked, and I didn't have the physical strength to take a look at it when I was old. It's not worth it, where did Lord Chen yearn for?" Hao Lianming smashed his mouth and said with a smile.

Chen Tianze shook his head calmly.

This old man has something to say, and he clearly wants to encourage Chen Tianze to go to Xiuning Palace, but Chen Tianze is not fooled by this.

"Well, everyone has their own aspirations. Hao Lianmingjing laughed, got up and said, "I had a very happy chat with Lord Chen today, and if I have a fate, I will definitely ask Lord Chen for advice again." ”

Chen Tianze smiled and did not answer.

"Lord Chen, there are really immortals in Xiuning Palace. Hao Lianmingjing got up, but suddenly remembered something, and said mysteriously: "And it is a very beautiful woman, I saw it once thirty years ago, and she was as beautiful as a flower, but I never thought that I saw it again a few days ago, and her appearance has not changed in the slightest, do you say that God is not God?"

Chen Tianze was stunned for a moment, his appearance has not changed for thirty years, and there is such a strange thing in the world?

"Isn't Mr. Hao Lian dazzled?" Chen Tianze wondered.

"No, it won't. Hao Lianmingjing waved his hand and said: "No, that's really a god." ”

Looking at Hao Lianming's yearning look, Chen Tianze helplessly did not answer.

If a woman in this world is well maintained, she will definitely make herself a lot younger, but if her appearance has not changed for thirty years, she will not believe it. It's just that seeing Hao Lianming's resoluteness, and knowing that this guy is very stubborn, Chen Tianze stopped talking and let him go.

Just then, there was a noise outside.

Chen Tianze got up in amazement, but saw Zhao Yi running over with a happy look on his face, followed by Zhou Pu and the brothers of the branch, and then Yan Xin and Sun Chun all appeared in the field of vision.

"Tianze, congratulations. Zhao Yi couldn't hide his joy, and shouted as he walked: "Tianze, I'm promoted again, this time I can't run away from the treat." ”

Chen Tianze rolled his eyes wildly, this guy was thinking about eating all day long.

Wait a minute!

Promotion?

Chen Tianze was stunned, he was about to be promoted?

Turning his head to look, there was obviously a trace of jealousy on Sun Chun's smiling face, and Yan Xin was indeed full of smiles on his face, and there were many brothers with different expressions, could it be true?

"Good people have good rewards, good people have good rewards. Hao Lianming, who was sitting on the side, looked at Chen Tianze, who was stunned, and laughed.
