Chapter 930: Daring to urinate on the guard’s face
In the days before New Year's Eve, Yu Qingfeng and He Liang had been beaten for several days. However, after being beaten too much, Yu Qingfeng and He Liang had made rapid progress. Like Yu Qingfeng now, they were in the same situation.
When it comes to fighting, it can withstand thirty-six punches.
In fact, this is already quite remarkable. You must know that in today's world, except for a few people, it is very rare for people to survive Chen Chao's thirty punches in the same situation.
However, Chen Chao was giving punches, not a life-and-death fight, which led to Yu Qingfeng often doing things like exchanging lives for injuries. Therefore, if Chen Chao was really going to give punches on the premise of killing people, then the number would have to be halved.
Yu Qingfeng can't survive twenty punches.
It's just amazing.
Under the premise that Chen Chao's murderous intention has already arisen, there are really not many people in this world who can withstand Chen Chao's twenty punches at the same level.
In fact, as early as last year, some good people outside the country made a list and only selected the top four, because the strong people in the world have never been able to rank, so this time they only ranked them by category, such as Taoist lineage, Yun
Jian Yue, the young Taoist master of the Taoist sect, is ranked second among the powerful men of the Taoist sect.
Topping the list is the contemporary palace master of Wantian Palace.
As for the sword cultivator lineage, the leader of the Sword Sect is undoubtedly the leader, but after him, although there are two unparalleled Great Sword Immortals, Yu Xiyi, the newly promoted Great Sword Immortal, is already the fourth.
When the list came out and Jiang Xiaoan knew about it, the little girl mocked Yu Xiyi severely, which made Yu Xiyi furious and said that he would soon return to the Sword Sect to ask the two seniors for swordsmanship.
Yes, the sword cultivator lineage, the top four swordsmen in the world, all come from the sword sect.
And on the selection list, the one who topped the list was naturally Chen Chao, the guardian envoy who had already killed Fang Wai to fear. Behind him, Ning Ping, the current Northern General, followed closely.
Apart from the two Wangyoumen, Li Changling, the cavalry general from the northern border, temporarily occupied the third place.
I heard that this cavalry commander has actually reached the threshold and is about to break through. It's just a pity that this man who has always been known as the enemy of thousands of people has always been regarded as a general rather than a handsome man, otherwise he will only be afraid of the next one.
The Great General of the North is a man of great merit and prestige.
The three people outside the top three are Song Lian, the current commander of the right guard, Chen Wannian, the commander of the left guard, and Jiang Wanfu.
Among the top ten, a total of six people have set foot in Wangyou, and the remaining four are only one step away from Wangyou, and they all came from Daliang.
In fact, these days the Chen Dynasty is promoting the position of deputy commander. Song Lian is to be the first deputy commander. After that, Jiang Wanfu can naturally become the commander of the left guard.
However, the biggest problem with the implementation of this position is actually Song Lian's firm opposition. The two-term guard envoy has a very simple explanation for this. Daliang has always had only one guard envoy. If a deputy is added,
Guardian envoy, how can we reflect the uniqueness of the role of guardian envoy?
Chen Chao was very helpless about this, but he quickly thought of a way to add the post of Commander of the Divine Capital, so that both the left and right guards could be under the jurisdiction of the Commander of the Divine Capital.
At this time, Song Lian was speechless, so Chen Chao wrote a note and sent it to His Highness the Crown Prince. In the past few days, the six departments had begun to discuss it. In fact, it was just a formality. After all, the guardian lineage has always been
It is the guardian envoy who has the final say. In the past two hundred years, there have been no new positions. As long as the guardian envoy wants to, then there is no problem.
The reason why Chen Chao did this was actually to show his goodwill to the courtiers.
Later, when Xie Nandu, who was far away in the north, learned about this incident, he even praised Chen Chao for his sophisticated behavior in the letter sent back to the capital.
The Chen Dynasty has received news a few days ago that the position of Commander of the Divine Capital will be established at the first court meeting after the beginning of the new year. The official letter of the Chen Dynasty has long been written and the seal has been stamped. During this period
We are even looking for a site to build a command and envoy office in the city of God.
In fact, once this yamen is established, it will be able to add official positions to many people who have taken refuge in Daliang, which is considered a good thing.
After all, words alone are of no use in winning people's hearts; you also need to have a handful of rice in your hands.
Yu Qingfeng was the most excited when he sent several apprentices to the streets to buy new year's goods today. However, before leaving the bamboo building, he asked Chen Chao who was sitting on the chair bitterly, "Master, will you be beaten if you don't come back?"
Chen Chao smiled, shook his head and said, "No, because I'm going out soon."
Yu Qingfeng cheered and immediately called Xiao He and Ning Qingnian to go out. After watching the three apprentices go out, Chen Chao also followed them out, first taking a carriage to the Youwei Yamen.
I've been to the left guard once before, but I couldn't favor one over the other. Now that I've been to the right guard, I can count on both sides being equal.
When the officials on the right guard heard that the Lord Guardian had arrived in person, they all cheered up and wanted to take a look at the most powerful person in the world.
In fact, as early as the beginning, after Chen Chao was appointed as the guardian envoy, the officials of Youwei were very worried. After all, the guardian envoy was from the left guard, and Youwei had also plotted against the guardian envoy before, but fortunately
They were just worried about everything, but in the minds of the officials on the right guard, they naturally knew that of the two people on the left and right, the one who weighed more in Chen Chao's mind was the left guard.
When Chen Chao saw Song Lian, he smiled and said, "Let's go for a walk together?"
Song Lian nodded and followed Chen Chao out of Youwei Yamen.
Chen Chao got straight to the point, "I have already chosen my official residence, and the Ministry of Industry has started construction. That Du Shangshu scolded me and spat in my face. It is really not something that ordinary people can bear."
Song Lian smiled helplessly. Chen Chao spoke like this as soon as he arrived, obviously to set the tone for this matter.
This made Song Lian, who had never been in favor of the establishment of the position of commander of the Divine Capital, but wanted to give up the position of commander of the right guard, unable to say anything.
Chen Chao knew what Song Lian was worried about and said with a smile, "It's like doing business and recruiting employees to open a new store. You have to treat them well so that they can be loyal and follow the boss wholeheartedly. But if this makes the old employees feel wronged, there is no such thing.
It makes sense."
Song Lian frowned and said, "I don't feel wronged."
Chen Chao clicked his tongue and said, "Do you think I'm doing this for you? I don't know what kind of temper your brother Song is? But when doing things, it's not just the person involved who is satisfied, but other people as well. If I
I've wronged you, and you don't feel wronged yourself. That's no problem, but others will feel wronged for you. So what do you do? You can't explain it one by one and say, "I don't feel wronged."
It’s not a bad thing to do.”
Song Lian frowned slightly, thinking that Chen Chao had figured it out.
So he fell into a situation where he had nothing to say. It was impossible for Wangyou to admit his mistake to Chen Chao.
Chen Chao smiled and said, "Brother Song, you can admit your mistake. It's in private anyway, and I won't tell others."
Song Lian sneered and said nothing.
Chen Chao didn't care at all, and quickly changed the subject and said, "I plan to set up the position of supervisory envoy in the prefectures and counties in the future. In this way, firstly, a number of official positions will be added so that these guys who have taken refuge in Daliang can have official positions. Secondly,
The second reason is more important, that is, our line of guardians should be monitored from the inside out. When the line of guardians was established, it was different from the officials. This naturally makes us independent from other officials, but it is precisely because of this
, In fact, we have had many problems here over the past two hundred years, and if we don’t make changes, big problems will one day occur.”
This is what Chen Chao has learned from himself these days. In addition, among the hundreds of officials, there is actually the post of supervisory censor, and there should also be such officials in the line of guardian envoys.
Song Lian thought for a while, nodded and said, "From this point of view, I think there is no problem. The only question is, if you increase your official position in the guarding envoy line like this, will the government and the public think that you are interested in supporting your own power?"
Chen Chao nodded and smiled and said, "That's why I didn't mention this matter at first because it would involve things beyond what I thought, but it was also something I couldn't help. Most of the reasons for joining the imperial court were for me."
, naturally they also want to join the guarding envoy lineage, and only here can they have a more sense of belonging."
Song Lian didn't speak, not because he objected, but because he knew that what Chen Chao said was correct.
"This matter must be carried out. The word "rules" must be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This is the tone I have set for the guardian envoys. Of course, the one who is least disciplined at present is me, the guardian envoy."
Chen Chao laughed at himself, but then said, "This is an emergency, and it has to be like this. I hope that in the future, when the world is peaceful, I, or anyone else, will be a person who respects the rules. Only in this way can the beams truly stretch."
Continuously, true prosperity lasts for a long time.”
The word "rules" must exist both inside and outside. On the outside, the monks outside the country must follow it, and on the inside, the officials of Daliang must also do the same.
Only in this way, whether it is the Emperor of Daliang or the Chen Dynasty, will the Daliang that he wants really come to him.
Song Lian looked at Chen Chao and said with some emotion, "There are no powerful officials in history like you. They keep adding shackles to themselves. In the future, except for you who really don't want to follow the rules and don't care about your reputation in the history books, you are doomed."
Not so free anymore.”
Chen Chao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "You think I'm going to be a guardian for the rest of my life?"
My uncle has only been emperor for a dozen years before he feels tired of the trouble and throws the burden on me. Do you want me to be the emperor for the rest of my life? Is that possible?
Song Lian laughed dumbly, he really didn't expect this.
However, it is really rare for a powerful official in the world to be able to say that he does not care about power.
There are not many of them in the history books, but among those people, the most famous is Duke Zhou, who is now jokingly called "Sleeping" by the common people.
He was such an amazing person that many later scholars called him the Holy One.
The reason for making an appointment with Song Lian this time was for these two things. After talking about it, Chen Chao was no longer willing to talk nonsense. He thought about it and said, "On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, my brother and sister-in-law, together with Weng Quan,
You idiots, all come to Zhulou for New Year’s Eve dinner.”
Song Lian nodded at first, then frowned and said, "Who cooks? Isn't the Lord Guardian proficient in cooking?!"
Chen Chao was at a loss for words for a moment. Recently, he just thought about making a game and getting together with his friends in Shendu, but he hadn't considered this yet. When he slapped his forehead, Chen Chao smiled bitterly.
Song Lian smiled and said, "Then let your sister-in-law cook a meal and prepare the ingredients yourself?"
Chen Chao shook his head, "It's not the first day I've tasted my sister-in-law's cooking. I have to make something different. But I'll think about who will cook."
Song Lian didn't care at all. When it came to eating, what was important was not the quality of the food.
However, he still asked more, "In your opinion, who should be invited?"
He didn't intend to hide it at first, but now that Song Lian asked, Chen Chao spoke frankly, "You three, plus three members of Jiang Xiaoan's family, that guy Yu Xiyi, Chen Wannian's family, and finally His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and me.
Then my future brothers and sisters."
Plus his own three apprentices, the number is actually quite large.
Song Lian smiled bitterly and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites us here, can we people still feel at ease?"
A Crown Prince and a future Crown Princess are no ordinary people.
Chen Chao laughed and said, "Forget it then, let him eat some cold dishes in the palace."
After saying goodbye to Song Lian, Chen Chao thought hard about one thing for the next few days, which was who would serve the New Year's Eve dinner. He and his disciples were destined to fail. That guy Yu Xiyi knew how to eat as soon as he opened his mouth, so there was no hope.
As for others, I am even less familiar with them.
Fortunately, when Chen Chao was thinking about it later, the little girl Jiang Xiaoan heard about this and volunteered to say that her mother was a good cook and could help.
However, the little girl made a request at that time, that is, when she wants to have a natal flying sword in the future, can she ask Chen Chao to help Jianqi Mountain and ask him to go up the mountain to get the sword, so that he can get a good handle?
If he was not familiar with it, Chen Chao would just agree. After all, Jiang Xiaoan is Yu Xiyi's closed disciple. In fact, it is a sure thing to go to Jianqi Mountain. But who made this little girl become Yu Xiyi's closed disciple? Chen Chao didn't want to bully this person.
little girl.
The little girl then made another request, wanting to see Xie Nandu's nine natal flying swords.
As a female sword cultivator, Xie Nandu possesses nine natal flying swords, so she is destined to become the person that female sword cultivators cannot get around in the future.
This was not a high request, so Chen Chao agreed with a smile, and the little girl skipped home and told her mother that they were married. After walking some distance, she turned around and swore, patting her chest and saying that she would definitely make her mother put in all her efforts.
, don’t embarrass your uncle!
Now Jiang Xiao'an has recognized Chen Chao as his uncle, instead of calling him "lord guard envoy".
Chen Chao settled the matter and just felt refreshed when His Highness the Crown Prince called him to the imperial city for a New Year's Eve dinner.
The Crown Prince was quite straightforward, saying that since it was New Year's Eve, my brother would definitely not want to enter the palace, and it was impossible for me, the Crown Prince, to run out, so I ate in advance.
There were actually only three people at this New Year's Eve dinner. Apart from Chen Chao, they were Wu Xinyue and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave up the throne and allowed Chen Chao to take the seat. Chen Chao thought about it and did not refuse.
Today there are no kings or ministers, only brothers.
After dinner, before Chen Chao left the imperial city, His Highness the Crown Prince stopped Chen Chao and said sincerely, "Brother, I still think your hanging sword looks better. You don't have to take it off every time you enter the imperial city."
Chen Chao turned his head and raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think I just enter the imperial city without hanging a knife? Nowadays, I have to keep a low profile. I don't carry a knife when I go out. Otherwise, what will I do if someone recognizes me at a glance?"
His Highness the Crown Prince opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Chen Chao thought to himself and said, "There are not many people in this world who can make me use the knife."
After saying this, Chen Chao left gracefully.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked behind him, speechless, "Xinyue, what do you think he is pretending to do?"
Wu Xinyue smiled and shook her head and said, "I don't think the guardian envoy is pretending."
As a Taoist master, Wu Xinyue knew best that what Chen Chao said was without any water. Just by facing her, Chen Chao could hit her to death with just one punch if he wanted to.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince muttered, "Then you go with him."
Wu Xinyue smiled and said, "I'm not as outstanding as Miss Xie."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sighed and looked at his future wife with some grievances. Is there anyone in the world who talks like this?
Even if you belittle yourself, you also belittle your own men?
…
…
Soon it was the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, and many guests came to the bamboo house. At first, it was said that it was Jiang Xiaoan's mother who was in charge, but when it came to this day, in fact, it was not only Song Lian's wife, but also Chen Wannian's wife.
, all started to help in the kitchen.
This made Jiang Xiaoan very unhappy. After all, he had an agreement with his uncle before. Now that you are doing this, does that agreement still count?
Chen Chao seemed to have guessed what Jiang Xiaoan was thinking. He rubbed the little girl's head and said with a smile, "It works."
However, the scene here was soon seen by Yu Xiyi, who was feasting on a basket of small oranges. The great swordsman screamed, "Chen, stay away from my apprentice! Who else wants you to touch her head?"
Yeah, what should I do if I don’t grow taller?!”
He didn't even think about who liked to touch his apprentice's head the most.
Chen Chao was too lazy to pay attention to Yu Xiyi and asked Jiang Xiaoan to help He Liang.
Watching Jiang Xiaoan pass by, Chen Chao even raised his eyebrows at Yu Xiyi.
Yu Xiyi had a dark look on his face and made up his mind to make that little guy He Liang suffer. Damn it, if I can't beat you, how can I beat your disciple?
Chen Chao still didn't care.
But while the Lord Guard was watching the busy business of the bamboo building, a man who was not dressed casually but always dressed as a scholar came not far away with his wife.
Chen Chao took a look and felt that the guy wearing something like this looked nondescript.
"Okay, okay, some people are really cruel. They don't know how to repay their kindness. They don't care about old feelings at all. They don't call me "I" for things like New Year's Eve dinner!"
The man spoke sarcastically, his voice not quiet.
This alarmed everyone here. They looked up and quickly greeted Mr. Zhou with great respect.
Chen Chao slapped his forehead, feeling a little apologetic, "I forgot, I really forgot, even if I don't invite you, I should still call you aunt."
The woman who had become much thinner smiled slightly and went to help without saying much.
Zhou Gouqi came here and sneered, "What a great guardian envoy!"
Chen Chao's face was expressionless, "We won't quarrel today, we'll see you at the wine table later!"
Zhou Gouqi sneered, "I may not be able to beat you when it comes to fighting, but when it comes to drinking, you are like Mr. Wang meeting Mr. Yu, you are always a little behind me!"
Chen Chao yelled, and immediately turned to Song Lian and others over there and shouted, "Did you hear that, the leader of the scholars said that we drinking people are not as good as scholars!"
——
It is rare for ordinary people in the world to celebrate the New Year, and they think it is the best day of the year. But to the monks on the mountain, it does not matter whether it is New Year's Eve or the so-called New Year's Eve.
However, the Shanshui Sect is really lively these days, and there are constant calls for greetings. Master Zan Yuan, the master of the mountain, is very busy these days. He often sends away one group of guests and welcomes the next group of guests right away.
All this is of course because the news has spread, and everyone knows that the young genius in their mountain is almost certain to become the crown prince of the Liang Dynasty.
Nowadays, these monks who come to pay homage to the mountain are all determined to get close to Daliang. If they cannot establish direct contact with Daliang, they can settle for the next best thing and find the Shanshui Sect.
Soon, this sect must be the natal family of the Liang Dynasty.
Of course, Master Zan Yuan didn't know what these monks who came to worship the mountain were thinking about, but he didn't refuse. He really couldn't bear to part with the gifts these people brought.
It has only been more than a month now, and the monks who came to the mountain to visit brought many gifts. The night watch disciples in the mountain occasionally passed by the mountain master's cave and could hear the mountain master's heartfelt laughter.
Now that we have just sent away a group of guests who came to pay homage to the mountain, Master Zan Yuan is playing with a talisman, which is a gift from Luoye Mountain. The talisman is a Qi Gathering Talisman, which was personally refined by the mountain owner of Luoye Mountain.
After this talisman is activated, it will be of great benefit to the monks in the state of forgetfulness. It can not only gather the spiritual energy of the surrounding world, but also make the practitioners calm and calm.
This talisman is not unprecious, and it may not cause too much trouble in the entire spiritual world, but in New Liuzhou, it is really a rare treasure.
However, when Luoyeshan sent this object, it did not make any request at all. On the contrary, it made Master Zan Yuan a little confused.
Using his mind, he even deliberately or unintentionally tested whether the person from Luoye Mountain needed help with something, but the other party had no such idea at all, which made Master Zan Yuan even more confused.
But since the things were delivered, they must be accepted. Master Zan Yuan was extremely firm on this point.
After playing with these things for a while, Master Zan Yuan put them away, opened the door, and asked casually, "When will the guardian envoy come?"
There were monks waiting outside the door for a long time. After hearing this, he quickly said, "The news from the capital city is that the guardian envoy will be in seclusion after celebrating the New Year. How many more months will it take?"
Master Zan Yuan snorted coldly, "He is still able to keep his composure. Does he know that Master Zan Yuan has made up his mind to kill him?"
The monk was actually a little frightened when he heard this, "Mountain Master, do you need to think more about this matter? After all, that person's reputation is not very good. If he gets worried, he might even level our mountain."
"
"It's funny! If I was still afraid of him before, but now, Xinyue is about to become a princess, and this guard envoy is like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered in front of me. If it's done well, then
You can eat it for several years, why not kill it?”
Master Zan Yuan laughed loudly, but then he felt a little distressed and said, "Xin Yue is the next mountain master determined by my uncle, and he has entered the realm of forgetfulness early. At such a young age, he might become a great master of the Taoist sect in the future. His mother
Yes, my Shanshui Sect could have been one of the first-class sects, but in the end we were deceived by Daliang. Isn’t this the right thing to do if we don’t let the real person kill me with a knife?"
The monk thought about it and found that it seemed to be the same.
Master Zan Yuan suddenly remembered something and said, "Don't let Master Dongtian know about this matter, otherwise, according to Master's temper, we will all have to go to the ascension platform."
The Shanshui Sect has a unique training place called Feishengtai, which is where the Dongtian master practices. Speaking of which, the Dongtian master has already been a Taoist master. If he hadn't been unwilling to take care of these trivial matters, he would have been the master of the mountain.
, it would not be his turn to be a little monk in the sea of suffering.
The monk nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Mountain, my uncle has been in seclusion, and he probably won't be able to get out of seclusion in a short time."
Master Zan Yuan nodded.
…
…
In front of Shanshui Zongshan Gate.
Two people, one large and one small, were stopped outside the mountain gate. The disciple who was responsible for guarding the mountain looked at the pair of masters and disciples, raised his head and said, "Without a greeting, who knows who you are? Today's Shanshui Sect is not just for you to come.
!”
He Liang, who was still a young man, looked at the monk in front of him and was very curious. It turned out that these people outside the capital of God didn't have very good tempers.
No wonder Master beat so many people.
Chen Chao smiled and said, "I am really Chen Chao. I come from the capital of the gods and serve as an official there. I am the guardian envoy."
He Liang also helped with a serious look, "My master is really a guardian envoy."
The disciple guarding the mountain waved his hand, "Go, go, you are quite courageous. You dare to impersonate anyone. Do you know what the relationship between our Shanshui Sect and Daliang is now? If you continue to talk nonsense like this, Master Dao will take you to God."
Everybody go, you will feel better."
Chen Chao smiled half-heartedly, "Why don't you bother to inform me?"
The disciple guarding the mountain said impatiently, "Are you done yet? You are also a guardian with your poor appearance, and the Taoist Master is the Emperor of Liang!"
Chen Chao raised his eyebrows. If this happened elsewhere, this guy would probably have his head or hands cut off by now.
He Liang asked in a low voice, "Master, why don't they believe it?"
Chen Chao looked helpless. He originally planned to go to Shanshui Sect alone, but then he thought of taking He Liang with him. Who knew that he would be rejected when he came to this mountain gate.
I really lost face in front of my disciples.
As for the greeting card, Chen Chao was really unprepared. What's more, if he really came with a greeting card, would the Shanshui Sect dare to accept it?
You know, the places Chen Chao visited before did not necessarily end well.
Seeing that his master was silent, He Liang tugged on his master's sleeves and whispered, "Master, didn't you say you're here to discuss business? But we can't even get in."
Chen Chao didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "On the contrary, it will make business easier to negotiate."
He Liang was confused and had no idea what his master meant.
Chen Chao didn't say much, but patiently said again, "Fellow Taoist, are you really not going to report this? You may not be able to afford the consequences later."
The monk sneered and rolled up his sleeves, "The consequences? Are you still bluffing here? Master Dao will let you know the consequences of this right away!"
Beat up the guardian?
He Liang sweated for this man. His master had a bad temper.
Chen Chao sighed and said, "Xiao He, if this fellow Taoist takes action later, you can help him."
"Oh, you are still a coward and let your apprentice come out to take the trouble? Master Tao, this is the kind of person I despise the most. Come on, Master Tao will teach your master a lesson for you!"
As a result, before he finished speaking, as soon as the monk made a move, He Liang elbowed him in the heart, sending him flying and falling heavily on the mountain road.
Spit out a mouthful of blood.
After He Liang stopped taking action, he asked with some concern, "Master, did I strike too hard?"
Chen Chao smiled and said nothing.
I have been constantly throwing punches these days. Although He Liang still failed to catch up with Yu Qingfeng, his foundation was very good. In addition, the monk underestimated the enemy, so this punch was unprepared and was directly thrown away. It was not an accident.
But after the monk got up, he didn't give up at all. He immediately shouted, "Come quickly! Someone is breaking into the mountain!"
As the monk spoke, several figures appeared on the mountain road, all coming to the mountain gate.
The monk guarding the mountain wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered, "I don't care who you are, but you have to know that this is the Shanshui Sect now, and you are not here to come when you want or cause trouble whenever you want!"
Someone echoed, "Yes, peeing in the Shanshui Sect is equivalent to slapping the guardian envoy in the face, do you understand?"
Chen Chao was a little speechless.
He Liang asked seriously, "Master, does this mean that making trouble here is equivalent to peeing on your face?"
Chen Chao looked at He Liang, smiled and said, "Xiao He, you can do the math."
