It has been ten years since the last incident and Chen Ping'an came to the wine shop to drink again. At the end of the New Year, the Jianqi Great Wall does not have the strong New Year flavor of Haoran Tianxia.
Diezhang, the big shopkeeper, became more and more famous thanks to the second shopkeeper. Diezhang also learned a lot of business knowledge from Chen Ping'an, and he became more and more familiar with it. To put it simply, he was generous with his face.
If someone asks, "Big shopkeeper, would you like to treat me today? After earning so much fairy money from us, I have to treat you once, right?"
Diezhang replied, "You wait for the Sword Immortal, spend money to drink, and use your sword to kill monsters. Why do you need others to do it for you?"
There were boos all over the wine tables, and it didn’t matter if the mountains were stacked up.
After saying hello to Diezhang and his acquaintances, Chen Pingan moved a small bench to sit at the corner of the street. However, no one came today to hear Mr. Shu tell the landscape story. Many young girls saw the figure in green shirt.
, after hesitation, they all chose to take a detour.
Except for the big kid holding a clay pot, who was stuck at home with his parents, Zhang Jiazhen wanted to work as a long-term worker elsewhere to earn money, and the others did not dare to come.
I may not necessarily think that Chen Ping'an is a bad person, but after all, that person beat someone to death at the liquor store, and some children or their elders saw it with their own eyes.
This is human nature. Chen Pingan was not surprised, let alone disappointed. He sat for a while, basking in the warm late winter sun, eating melon seeds, and then picked up the bench and returned to the wine shop without helping.
While checking the account book with the abacus, Diezhang came to the shop while serving dishes and wine to the guests, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Business is good."
Chen Ping'an closed the account book, spread his palms, lightly wiped on the abacus, raised his head and asked with a smile: "Have you always wanted to ask me whether that person is a demon spy? No matter what the truth is, you, as Ning Yao, can
Friends of Chen Pingan and Chen Pingan, do you want me to tell you a clear answer?"
Diezhang did not hesitate, shook his head and said: "I don't want to ask this, I already have the answer in my heart."
Chen Pingan skillfully tapped the abacus and said slowly: "There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, or the opponent has far-reaching plans. If he loses, he will be convinced, and he will be convinced even though he is dissatisfied. I have lost in this situation more than once.
And it was miserable, but I benefited a lot from reviewing it afterwards. I’m afraid of those tricks that you can see through at a glance, but can be so disgusting. The other party didn’t even think about making much money, they were just teasing.”
Chen Ping'an has not said a word yet. Because the barbaric world will soon attack the city with all its strength, even if it is not the next game, it will not be too far away, so in this city, some insignificant little chess pieces can do whatever they want.
Squandered.
This is also a reminder of some key secrets hidden deeper.
Chen Pingan glanced at the door of the shop, "There is someone behind the scenes. If I take it so lightly and think that the conspiracy of the Great Wall of Sword Qi is not on the same level as the vast world, then I am destined to die."
Injury will also affect the people around me. The planner hiding behind the scenes is prescribing the right medicine. Seeing that I like to make mistakes first, he deliberately allows me to win every step of the way."
Diezhang smiled and said: "Xiao Sheng? Pang Yuanji and Qi Shou are going to jump and scold each other after hearing this. If we don't talk about Qi Shou, Pang Yuanji will definitely not come to drink again. He is not willing to buy the cheapest drinks."
Chen Ping'an laughed, "That's a small victory. Pang Yuanji and Qi Shou know that the Sword Immortal watching the battle knows it, and everyone who should know knows it. Because I am not a real sword cultivator, and I am not a native of the Great Wall of Sword Qi.
Shi. ​​Although the words of that person before were deliberately disgusting, many of them were indeed on point. It’s a pity that all words without accidents will make it difficult to defeat me. I had two fights with Qi Shou and Pang Yuanji before.
, I won more than ‘accidentally’.”
Diezhang sighed, "Chen Ping'an, do you know that you are terrible?"
It's like two people playing chess. One party guesses the other party's moves time and time again. How does the other party feel?
Some things have already happened, but there are still some things that even Chen Sanqiu, Fatty, and the others are not clear about. For example, when Chen Pingan was writing and asked Die Zhang to help get the paper, Chen Pingan laughed and said that he was waiting this time, and the other party must be young.
, the realm is not high, but he must have been to the southern battlefield, so it can make more ordinary sword cultivators in the Great Wall of Sword Qi "empathize" with each other, develop a heart of compassion, and feel the same hatred of the enemy. Maybe this person is in Jian Qi
Fangshi, the hometown of the Great Wall, was still an "ordinary person" with a good reputation. He helped the old, young, women and children of his neighbors all the year round. After this person died, the people behind the scenes did not need to add fuel to the flames, they only had to watch from the sidelines, otherwise it would be too disrespectful to the Great Wall.
When the patrolling swordsman becomes a swordsman, it will naturally form a bottom-level public opinion that started at the end of Qingping. It spreads from the back alleys, large and small restaurants, and various shops to the mansions of wealthy families, and is heard by many swordsmen.
, some people ignored it, and some people silently kept it in mind. However, Chen Ping'an also said at the time that this was just the worst outcome, and it may not be really the case, not to mention that the situation was not much worse. In the end, it was just a small chess game where the people behind the scenes were trying their best.
.
At this moment, Diezhang was originally worried that Chen Pingan would be angry, but he never thought that Chen Pingan's smile would still remain the same, and it was not far-fetched. Just like this sentence, it was also within his expectation.
This is the second time Chen Pingan has heard similar statements.
"If you can say this in front of your face, you really treat me as a friend."
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Those who are my enemies should feel this way."
Diezhang said, "With you by Ning Yao's side, I feel more at ease."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "If you are still willing to say this after the next war in the south, I will feel a lot more at ease."
Diezhang suddenly looked solemn.
Chen Pingan nodded and said softly: "Yes, this is also the intention of the person behind the scenes. First, first determine whether Chen Pingan, a disciple of Wen Sheng and the son-in-law of the Ning Mansion, who has just arrived, will actually board the city.
Fight side by side with the sword cultivator. Second, do you dare to leave the city and go to the southern battlefield to kill the enemy monsters? Third, after leaving the city, between self-protection and fighting with all your strength, what choice should you make? Is it to survive first?
When we come down to talk about other things, we still want to save face, for ourselves and for the Ning Mansion, and we must prove ourselves at the risk of death. Of course, the best result is that Chen Ping'an died vigorously on the southern battlefield. If the people behind the scenes are in a good mood,
I guess someone will say a few nice words to me afterwards."
Chen Pingan joked: "The chair that my husband sat on is regarded as a family heirloom by you and is treasured in the wing of your small house. Then you think that the small benches on the left and right of Mr. Wen Sheng can be used by anyone."
Can you sit down?"
With a heavy heart, Diezhang picked up a jar of wine, opened the mud seal, poured two bowls of wine, and took a big sip first, feeling depressed and silent.
Chen Pingan raised the wine bowl, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "Drink less. Even though we are shopkeepers, we still have to spend money to drink."
Diezhang holds a wine bowl and hesitates to speak.
Chen Pingan asked: "Still have any questions? Just ask."
Diezhang asked softly: "The first person to stand up with the bowl? Was it the caretaker?"
Chen Pingan smiled from ear to ear, waved his hands and said, "No."
Then Chen Ping'an pointed to the peaks and said, "Big shopkeeper, just be a businessman with peace of mind. It's really not suitable for you to do these things that calculate people's hearts. If I do this, wouldn't I be the leader of all the sword cultivators in the Great Wall of Sword Qi, especially those who
Are all the swordsmen watching the fire from the other side fools who only know how to practice swords and don’t know the human heart? Some things, it seems, can be perfected and gain the most benefits, but in fact they must not be done. They are too deliberate and are not beautiful. For example, my initial plan,
All I want is not to lose. If I kill that person, I won’t lose anything. If I don’t satisfy myself any more, I’ll just add to it and make others look down on me in vain.”
Diezhang sighed heavily, with a complicated look on his face. He raised the wine bowl in his hand and imitated Chen Pingan's words, "Drink up all the filthy things in the world!"
Chen Ping'an smiled and raised the wine bowl, bumped it with it, "Thank you, the shopkeeper, for inviting me to drink."
To the west of the city, there is a cold palace for Lord Yin Guan, and there is actually a summer palace to the east. It is not big, but it costs tens of thousands.
Today, in the lobby of the Winter Palace, Mr. Yin Guan is standing on a beautifully crafted Taishi chair. It is an artifact of the Immortal Family from Liuxiazhou in Haoran Tianxia. It is made of red wood, with lines like water and flowing clouds.
There are also two local swordsmen from the Yinguan lineage who assist in the lobby. The man is named Zhuan and the woman is named Luo Shan. They are both in the Yupu realm in their old age.
In addition, there is a Yuanying monk who is responsible for gathering intelligence. He is reporting the beginning and end of the incident in the wine shop, and has found out all the eighteen generations of the ancestors of Huangzhou, a young swordsman in Guanhai Realm.
Masters, relatives and friends, familiar elders of the Earth Immortal, etc., were all explained to Sword Immortal Zhu'an in detail. As for Yin Guan, he has never been interested in these.
In addition, there was Pang Yuanji, who was sitting in the audience with a Confucian gentleman named Wang Zai, who had some connections with the Confucian saint who had been in charge of the Sword Qi Great Wall.
Mr. Yin Guan closed his eyes and walked back and forth on the chair, his body swaying, holding two braids in his hands, as if he was sleepwalking.
While listening to the reports from his subordinates, Jianxian Zhuan read through the espionage report in his hand. In order to be precise, the number of words was naturally large, so Lord Yin Guan never touched these.
The female Sword Immortal Luo Shan is particularly eye-catching, wearing a round-collar brocade robe and a hairpin on her head, which is extremely bright red.
When it comes to espionage, a gentleman is like an official in the imperial court. He is not qualified to participate in specific affairs, but he barely has the right to make suggestions.
In the words of Mr. Yin Guan, these outsiders who hold Shang Fang's sword must be given a chance to speak. As for what they say, whether they listen or not depends on their mood.
After listening to the espionage report, Wang Zai asked: "It turns out that there is no conclusive evidence that Huang Zhou is a spy of the demon clan. Is Chen Ping'an suspected of killing indiscriminately? To take a step back, if he is really a spy of the demon clan,
, should also be left to our disposal. If not, it is just a dispute between young people, wouldn't it be a waste of human life?"
Pang Yuanji frowned and said nothing, just lowered his head and drank.
As the only direct descendant of Master Yin Guan, Pang Yuanji's words are often more effective than those of the two senior swordsmen Zhu'an and Luo Shan. However, Pang Yuanji does not like to get involved in these messy things and has always concentrated on practicing.
Luo Shan said calmly: "Evil people should be tortured by evil people, so that they regret doing evil. There is really no need to be taboo when talking on the Great Wall of Sword Qi. It doesn't matter if you go to the Fifth Realm Sword Cultivator or scold Dong Sangeng, as long as Dong Sangeng doesn't care.
But if Dong Sangen takes action, his death will naturally be in vain. That Chen Pingan is obviously waiting for others to go
If Huang Zhou had the sense to trouble him, he should have stopped as soon as he saw the first piece of paper. Is it important whether he is a spy of the demon clan? If you are stupid enough, don't blame the other party for attacking too hard. As for the other party's attack.
Chen Pingan, do you really think you are a sword cultivator of the Great Sword Qi Wall? You are not ashamed of your words! In the next battle in the south, I will have someone record Chen Pingan's demon-killing journey."
Zhu'an said with a straight face: "On this matter, Luo Shan, please stop talking."
The female Sword Immortal Luo Shan had some relations with the couple from the Ning Mansion, and they had some unpleasant troubles in the early years.
As for Luo Shan's words, it can't be said that he was interceding for Chen Ping'an. He was beaten to death by hitting fifty big boards each, but only half of the boards were smashed on the dead body.
Wang Zai came to the Sword Qi Great Wall seven or eight years ago and participated in a great war, but he did not fight much. He served more as a supervisor of swordsmen and a battlefield recorder. Lord Yin Guan said that since he is a gentleman, he must have read poetry.
If the scholar has delicate skin and tender flesh, then don't go and kill him. At that time, Wang Zai was also very angry and talked about the matter with the Confucian saint, but to no avail.
To be continued...
