Both of them are people with profound internal strength, and they didn't care about the snowstorm, and they walked all the way to the main peak of Turin Mountain.

"Brother Chen is so young, and his martial arts are so strong, he will definitely become a generation of grandmasters one day, and he will be the best in the world. ”

Luan ...... Brother Luan has won the award, I'm just lucky to have some adventures, by the way, is this new ruler really in the mountains?"

The two chatted as they walked, and after a while, they became brothers. The main reason is that Luan Cheng has the heart to make friends, he knows that Chen An is very valued by Xu Qian, and his own skills are also good, and Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner, of course, he must be close and close. And the other party is not as crazy and terrifying as the rumors, it seems that the rumors are not credible.

Luancheng's familiarity made Chen An also helpless, as the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, the other party was so enthusiastic, and he was still a colleague of the secret division, and he had to work together on this mission to bow his head and not look up, he couldn't be cold, right, so he changed his name. And after saying so many words, Chen An gradually eliminated the strangeness.

Luan Cheng raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with a mysterious smile: "Brother Chen, don't be impatient, and go with your brother, you will definitely be able to watch a good show, this Turin Mountain Tide Peak, these days can be very lively." ”

Chen Anxin was surprised, where did the bustle of this heavy snow, dead trees and barren mountains come from. But seeing Luan Cheng's eloquent words, he couldn't help but walk with him in disbelief.

I heard Luan Cheng continue: "This new commander of Haizhou Wei, Brother Chen should have heard of it. ”

Chen An was surprised: "I've heard of it too?"

"Yes, his name is Ye Shengyan, and he used to be the commander of the Eastern Guard. ”

Chen An was surprised: "Is it him?" This person Chen An has indeed heard of it, according to legend, he is a rookie in the dark division, and a set of demon palm techniques has reached the peak and has been perfected. But the reason why Chen An has also heard of him is that someone has compared him with Chen An, because the most similar thing about them is that there is no living mouth in the mission.

Chen An knew that he was using poison, and he couldn't grasp it at all, even if he wanted to, he couldn't keep it alive, but this Ye Shengyan was different, he killed people with a sword, and this was the real killing star. Moreover, Donglinwei walked on Jingdong Road and Jiangnan Road, and the entire Central Plains was killed by him, which can be described as having a good reputation in the Central Plains, and of course it is not a good reputation. When this person came to Haizhou, wouldn't the imperial court be afraid of arousing the vigilance of King Wu? Thinking of this, Chen An couldn't help but smile and shook his head, even if there was no Chen Anye Shengyan and the like, King Wu would not be wary of the imperial court.

Half an hour later, the two of them turned into the main road of Turin Mountain, and the pedestrians on the main road gradually increased, but all of them were dressed in short clothes, holding swords and swords with steady steps, not like ordinary tourists. They and Chen An had the same purpose, and they both ran to the top of the mountain.

The mountain road gradually became rugged, and Chen An dismounted and walked side by side with Luan Cheng. The two walked among these people without being obtrusive at all.

"Brother Luan, who are these people who are still rushing to the mountains on a snowy day?" Chen An asked with a frown.

Luan Cheng explained with a smile: "On this tide peak, there is a sunset villa, the owner of the village is a wealthy man in Turin, and he is a first-class rich man in Haizhou, he himself is kind and charitable, and he likes to make friends with some heroes on the rivers and lakes, today is his 60th birthday, and these people are naturally here to celebrate his birthday." ”

"Then what does this have to do with the new commander of Haizhou Wei? Could he still come to pay homage? Our dark division and local tycoons don't have such a good relationship, right?" Chen An said tactfully, the dark division and the local squire not only have no friendship, but the establishment of many local health offices depends on eating big households. Some of the guards looked ugly, and the local squires hated them to the core, but they dared not speak out.

"Brother Chen, might as well guess?" Luan Cheng bought a pass.

Chen An didn't think it was wrong, thought about it and said: "If you don't have a relationship, then you have a grudge, can these people still gather to deal with Ye Shengyan?"

Luan Cheng praised: "Yes, Brother Chen is really talented. ”

Chen An directly ignored his praise and wondered: "This is impossible, since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, we are officials, these local tyrants want to rebel, can they rebel?"

"Brother Chen, as a senior sanwei, deals with the cases of some courtiers more, and may not be very clear about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Luan Cheng smiled and explained: "As the so-called chivalry is taboo with martial arts, these heroes and fierce warriors have many life lawsuits, and the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty are not majestic. But they just existed, and the imperial court really couldn't deal with them? Brother, as a secret division, should know that the state apparatus is activated, and it is also a dead end for him to use martial arts to cover the world. ”

Chen An thought about Luancheng's words, and felt that it did make sense, the Great Zhou had millions of troops, what master could compete with the million army. Don't even need the army to go out, the Seventeen Guards of the Dark Division plundered the world, as long as the elite did their best, at any cost, they would definitely be able to clear the rivers and lakes. Don't say anything innocent, many court ministers are innocent, and the dark division didn't just fabricate a crime and deal with him. But to deal with these Jianghu people, it takes conclusive evidence to arrest them, which is really puzzling to Chen An.

I only heard Luan Cheng continue: "It's easy to say, that's because these Jianghu clans are inextricably linked with those big families and important members of the imperial court. Let's ask how the imperial court can handle its own people. ”

"How is this a statement?" Chen An asked suspiciously.

"As the saying goes: If it is not a rich and noble family, how can there be money for the children of the family to practice martial arts, you and I are the elite cultivated by the secret division at any cost, and we should know that you can become a master if you really practice casually? Without the guidance of a famous teacher, without the elixir to wash the marrow, even if you practice hard, it is difficult to achieve great achievements, and you will end up with a secret wound and die young. ”

Chen An nodded, agreeing with this statement very much, he had suffered a lot when he joined the Dark Division, but it was indeed a great opportunity. Otherwise, he would probably still be begging on the streets, and what kind of revenge is he talking about.

Luan Cheng continued: "In fact, the imperial court and the rivers and lakes are one, and the imperial court needs the existence of the rivers and lakes. The owner of Sunset Mountain Villa, Gui Wuji, and Shi Guining, the head of King Wu's mansion, are uncles and nephews. This is the Haoqiang of Haizhou, and the imperial court also has the Haoqiang of the imperial court, and the nature is the same. Therefore, our relationship with the people in the rivers and lakes is complicated and complicated, and he is definitely not as simple as an official catching a thief; it is also simple to say that he is an official catching a thief. The key is that a thief is not necessarily a thief, if the person above says that he is a thief, he is a thief. ”

There was no logic in what he said, but Chen An understood, and said: "We are just tools to kill, whoever is called to kill from above, we will do it." ”

Luan Cheng sighed and said: "If it's really easy to be a knife, the key is that Haizhou has the strength of Haizhou, the court has the strength of the court, that is, the strength of the court is also divided into five states, divided into various families, the rise and fall of their families is in the court wrestling, but it is reflected in the disputes in the rivers and lakes, we can only adjust in it." Therefore, in order not to cause dissatisfaction with the family behind them, to deal with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, they can only use the means of the rivers and lakes. This is what you see, with a dignified guard and a guard, controlling more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but he can only bring a few martial arts masters to the people in the rivers and lakes. What's even more hateful is that these clans are incompatible with my secret division, and they have written to the court many times to depose the holy court, but after they didn't succeed, they supported the people in the martial arts to do it to us behind their backs. It seems that it is still the blood division of the year, and there is no scruple about torture and killing. ”

Chen An thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case, although he dealt with the internal affairs of the imperial court most of the time, he also participated in dealing with the powerful in the rivers and lakes, such as Mingjian Villa. It's just that he was in a humble position at that time, with two or three big cats and kittens, and he didn't have the qualifications to commit taboos at all. But it is true that the imperial court has never sent an army to encircle and suppress the people in the martial arts. Even if it is a difficult bone to gnaw, it is necessary to send special personnel to deal with it, which is why the positions of the capital department and the capital supervisor are set up. The dark division is a tool for the imperial court to mediate disputes and balance the forces of all parties.

Chen An said again: "They are so blatantly discussing against us here, aren't they afraid that we will be prepared in advance? ”

Luan Cheng said with a smile: "They are not afraid that we know at all, they just want to show an attitude here, we know what to do, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves, even if we want to strike first, it is impossible." Brother, you should know that it is easy to deal with some small characters when you have carried out tasks many times, but some famous factions with family backgrounds can be easily shaken. All kinds of boundaries are grasped by the big people above, and we only have to do what we are told. ”

Chen An was silent.

As the two of them talked, they had reached the top of the mountain, which was a vast platform, and a huge manor stood on top of it in the wind and snow.

The middle door of the manor was wide open, and four servants stood at the door to greet the guests. Chen An and the two followed the flow of people, and no one interrogated, so they mixed directly into the manor, Luan Cheng found a red gift box out of nowhere and put it at the master of ceremonies, and took Chen An into the front hall.

The main hall of the villa is lit up with lights, and there are no less than 100 tables of banquets. Luan Cheng pulled Chen An and sat down in a corner of the hall, and at this time, there were servants serving tea and water to the two.

Chen An shook his head and said: "This is chaotic enough, you don't even need an invitation, and you don't care about the origin of the guests, so you are not afraid that people who eat white food will come here to eat and drink?"

Luan Cheng picked up the cup in front of him, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and spat out: "To be rich is to be willful." ”

It was getting late, and the wind and snow outside didn't know when it had stopped, and the hall was sparsely packed with people, Chen An estimated that there were not as many as seven or eight hundred people in this hall.

At this time, a sixty-year-old man dressed in red walked into the hall to announce the opening of the banquet, and said a bunch of welcome and brilliant nonsense, Chen An thought that this person should be the owner of this Sunset Villa.

After that, a handmaid came out with a plate of dishes, and all kinds of delicacies instantly filled the table in the hall.

Everyone pushed their glasses and changed their glasses, and they toasted the old man one after another. The old man, accompanied by his nephew, saluted the toasters one by one. The main thing is that there are a few seats in the middle of the hall, and they just reported their roll calls, and they all sound like people with heads and faces in the rivers and lakes. It's just that Chen An is not familiar with the things on the rivers and lakes, and half of the people in the banquet don't know each other.

It's just that he rarely sees such a lively scene, he looks around curiously, while Luan Cheng is desperately eating and drinking, as if a starving ghost is reincarnated, he occasionally raises his head, and when he sees Chen An's surprised gaze, he immediately laughs and laughs at himself: "I gave a gift of ten taels of silver, if I don't eat it back, won't it be a loss." Besides, if you don't eat it now, you may not be able to eat it later. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the old man Gui Wuji and said: "Today, so many good friends are gathered here, the old man is very happy in his heart, drink this cup, and thank everyone for their hospitality." After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, which caused a burst of applause from everyone in the hall.

"It's a good amount of wine for the old man. ”

"Belong to the old man in large quantities. ”

"Return to the old man, and be old and strong. ”

......

Gui Wuji stretched out his hand and pressed down, stopped everyone, and said in a mournful tone: "Although today is a festive day, there are many familiar faces missing, and the sadness in the old man's heart makes everyone laugh." ”

When the hall was neutral, someone with good deeds excused himself: "Return to the old man, why do you say this?"

Chen An looked up, but heard Luan Cheng on the side jokingly say, "The play meat is here." ”
