The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 331: The Heart of Playing Chess, Hong Feng's Apology

Chen Pingan only thought about the Thousand Machine Bag briefly and quickly dismissed the idea.

Getting the Hundred Treasures Bag was already a pleasant surprise, but thinking about the Thousand Machine Bag, I felt a little greedy.

The Thousand Machine Bag was extremely valuable and precious. For some aristocratic families, it had a certain strategic significance and was generally regarded as a family heirloom.

Except for a few who don't consider sexual value, those who are qualified to wear the Thousand Machine Bag are at least at the Grandmaster level! Of course, this is the case in most cases. There will also be a very small number of legitimate sons and daughters from famous families who will be able to wear the Thousand Machine Bag.

Treasure bag, crystal, treasure.
This battle brought a lot of gains, and Chen Pingan's wealth skyrocketed. With this accumulated foundation, Chen Pingan had a good foundation and wealth to participate in the Beicang auction, and he could bid for one or two as much as he wanted.

With joy in his heart and hope on his face, Chen Pingan changed his body shape and flew towards the direction of Red Maple Market.

In addition to the major gains mentioned above, the battle with Cao Yingxiong was of even greater significance to Chen Pingan.

After this battle, his judgment of his own strength was no longer just theory, but based on actual combat results.

Cao Yingxiong was quite powerful. Even though he didn't have the power of a dragon or tiger, he was definitely at the top of the elite. For a master like this, Chen Ping'an could easily suppress him head-on without fully exerting his Vajra Indestructible Divine Art.

Every step in the battle was within his rhythm!

Just like Cao Yingxiong acted extremely aggrieved throughout the whole process. From beginning to end, he never had the chance to use his trump card like a heavy weight or a mountain pressing down on his head!
From the beginning to the end, he was completely outmaneuvered by Chen Pingan and had no chance of turning the tables.

It can be said that Chen Pingan in his normal state can firmly suppress Cao Yingxiong in terms of combat power. Even with the blessing of the magical skill Three-point Human Tribulation Finger, he may be able to take the opponent's life in a long battle!

Generally, masters with similar rankings on the Dragon and Tiger List may win or lose against each other, but it is extremely difficult to kill each other, and it is almost impossible to do.

Combining his performance in the battle with Cao Yingxiong, Chen Pingan under normal circumstances should be one level higher than Cao Yingxiong in terms of combat power.

Even though Cao Yingxiong's combat power is not qualified to be included in the Dragon and Tiger List, by analogy, Chen Pingan in normal condition can also be ranked in the top three hundred of the Dragon and Tiger List!
not to mention.
Chen Pingan vaguely judged that Cao Yingxiong might have the combat power at the bottom of the Dragon and Tiger List! If so, his combat power under normal conditions might be stronger than he imagined.

In the final stage of this battle, Cao Yingxiong knew that he had no power to escape, so he performed a burst of secret techniques. Judging from the performance on the scene, to be precise, it should be a breakthrough method that sacrificed the future path and potential.

After unleashing the secret technique, the aura emanating from Cao Yingxiong, although filled with the smell of blood, was completely superior to the Xuan Guang high realm!

But it is not the pure and incomparable grandmaster realm. According to Chen Ping'an's knowledge, Cao Yingxiong has just entered the pseudo-grandmaster realm.

Although a pseudo-grandmaster is not as good as a real grandmaster, not everyone at the high level of Xuanguang can come and challenge him. Cao Yingxiong, who is at the pseudo-grandmaster level, is probably not weaker than Xue Kunsheng, the deputy garrison commander of Beicang! In fact, he is even stronger!
But even in this situation, Cao Yingxiong still couldn't escape the fate of being killed in one move. He used his full strength to activate the Vajra Indestructible Magic Skill and transformed into a little Vajra giant, which was much more powerful than Chen Pingan expected!
If Cao Yingxiong, who was at the pseudo-grandmaster level, was compared to Xue Kunsheng, he would be ranked 233rd on the Dragon and Tiger List. Chen Pingan could even kill with one move!

The power of divine power is so terrifying!
Combining the analysis of the above factors, his true strength, as he possesses two great magical skills, is far stronger than he had previously estimated!

If he was fully revealed on the list, his ranking on the Dragon and Tiger List would be higher than that of the old man in the mountain! At least in the top 150!
As for where it will rank, we will need to fight against stronger opponents before we can make a judgment!
This battle gave Chen Pingan an extremely clear understanding of his own strength.

The three realms of life are seeing oneself, seeing the world, and seeing all living beings. Chen Pingan clearly saw himself, which was a solid step forward!
At the foot of Red Maple Mountain, there is Red Maple Market.

As the fierce-looking man fled, more and more market guards joined the battle, and the situation of the Ten Thousand Demons Cult thieves attacking the market was quickly brought under control. By now, the situation had been completely settled, and all matters were being carried out in an orderly manner.

For Elder Wanmo, who designed this operation, the outcome of pretending to be bandits and attacking the Red Maple Market had already been foreseen before the operation began.

Their real strategic goal was not to attack or capture the Red Maple Market, but it was just an important part of their many schemes to deal with Chen Pingan.

In other words, when the action plan was first formulated, the outcome for these people had basically been planned.

And the followers of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect were unaware of all this!
The significance of their sacrifices was to fulfill the overall interests of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. And for the elders of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, the overall interests of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect were to successfully kill Chen Pingan, the outer patrol envoy of the trade route, in order to spread the reputation of the Ten Thousand Demons!
The people at the bottom do not know or understand the overall situation of the upper class. However, the so-called overall situation requires the blood and flesh of the people at the bottom to build it.

Some of these sacrificed Wanmo Cult thieves may have volunteered, but in order to ensure the 100% execution of the plan, the Wanmo elders at the top level deprived them of even the most basic right to know.

Some of them seemed to have died at the hands of the guards of the Red Maple Market, but in fact they died due to the decision of Elder Wanmo.

Until they died, they were confused and had no idea why they died!

You won’t understand even if you die!

sorrow!

This is the sorrow of the lower class people! It is also the sorrow of this world!

Regardless of one's position, this is true for anyone at the bottom of society! Confused, all actions seem voluntary, but in fact they are just like puppets, at the mercy of others!

Chen Pingan even thought that when the Ten Thousand Demons Sect was surrounded and suppressed, Old Chen was seriously injured. He wondered if it was also the result of the upper-level planning and layout! His serious injury might have been avoided!
Thinking of this possibility, Chen Pingan felt a chill down his spine.

Since he started practicing, he has entered the martial arts world, developed qi and blood, entered the inner qi, condensed the mysterious light, and now has reached the perfection of the mysterious light. What he wants is to get out of the bottom and move up step by step, from being at the mercy of others, to being unable to control oneself, to enjoying a moment of tranquility, to being free from restraint, and then to becoming the chess player, seeking the great freedom and great ease!
Like now, he seems to be in a high position, inspecting a place, and enjoying great glory, but looking at the overall situation of the dynasty, he has just escaped from the bottom and moved towards the middle level.

Step by step, step by step, he reached the top! He had already seen the direction to move forward!
Chen Pingan felt a surge of pride in his heart, and his emotions surged like waves.

At the entrance of Hongfeng Market, You Yongming was anxious, walking back and forth, looking into the distance. The situation in the market had calmed down, but the adults had not returned yet!

A long time has passed since you started chasing the thieves, but there is no sign of you.

You Yongming waited and waited, but Chen Pingan did not show up. Logically speaking, even if he had pursued the enemy deep into the enemy's territory, he should have returned after such a long time! Why is he like this now? Could it be that the adults
You Yongming had a bad feeling in his heart. He only hated that he was not with the adults when the thieves swept in. If he was there, even if his power was limited, he would follow the adults without hesitation.

It’s not like now, where we can only wait helplessly in the market!
"No! No, it can't be, he must have been delayed by something!" You Yongming immediately interrupted that bad premonition.

Your Excellency is extremely talented and has even entered the realm of Xuan Guang. It is impossible for a mere thief to hurt you in any way!
Just as You Yongming was daydreaming, a figure flew over from the official road in the distance.

"Is it the master!?" You Yongming looked far away as hard as he could, but due to the distance he could not see the figure of the person coming. When the distance between them gradually shortened, You Yongming's face lit up with joy: "It is definitely the master!"

Whoosh!
Chen Pingan flew over and landed steadily in front of You Yongming.

"Sir!" You Yongming looked excited and knelt on one knee.

"Get up!" Chen Ping'an's eyebrows flickered with a mysterious light, which turned from bright to dark. He looked at You Yongming: "What's the situation in the market?"

"Yes, sir!" You Yongming stood up respectfully and bowed slightly to show respect: "In reply to your words, the situation in the market has been controlled and is now being properly resettled. The three major forces, the Red Maple Huang Family, the Iron Fence Gang, and the Store Alliance, will take the lead in counting the losses in the market."

You Yongming respectfully explained the situation in the market to Chen Pingan. As he spoke, he followed Chen Pingan into the Red Maple Market.

Chen Pingan learned from You Yongming that except for a few seriously injured thieves who escaped, the rest were all shot dead and no one was captured alive. There was a chance to capture two people alive, but the other party showed no fear of death and died of a heart attack.

In addition, You Yongming had already done what Chen Pingan had ordered. When the thieves came, the man he was ordered to watch behaved differently, so he immediately took action to catch him! He is currently undergoing interrogation, and will report to Chen Pingan as soon as there is a result.

"Lord Commander!"

"Your Excellency, may you be well!"

As Chen Ping'an entered, people from the Red Maple Market on both sides greeted him respectfully.

With his current position, he is already a high-ranking official that is rarely seen by the people below him! However, people always have to be compared!
Just like for most temporary servants, being registered is their lifelong dream, not to mention being the head of a servant. This is simply a person worth aspiring to!
But for the officers and even the chief officers above them, the officers are just like that! What they really look up to is the commander-in-chief candidate, deputy commander, or even the commander-in-chief!

One thing after another, just like a class, going up layer by layer!
When Chen Pingan walked to the core building in the market, several figures hurriedly ran out from inside.

An old man of medium build and in good spirits.

"I, Huang Zhishu, am here to see you, Commander-in-Chief. I wish you the best of health!"

"We greet the Commander!"

Everyone came out to greet him respectfully. After hearing the news that Chen Ping'an had returned, they ran out immediately. They never expected to bump into someone right in front of them.

"No need to be so polite!" Chen Pingan raised his hand.

"Thank you, Commander! You are so merciful!"

The Maple Market was hit, and all parties were busy with the proper arrangements. But for them, the most urgent thing to deal with right now was not these trivial matters, but to take care of the commander's mood.

Other things can be done at any time, but if you miss this adult, you really miss it! If they are accidentally hated because of this, they will really regret it for the rest of their lives!

"Master Huang, have someone prepare a study room. I have important matters to deal with!" Chen Ping'an said.

"Yes, sir, I'll send someone to handle it right away. Please wait a moment." Huang Zhishu's face lit up with joy.

For them, they are not afraid of doing things for their superiors, but they are afraid that their superiors will not ask them to do things!
There was no need for Huang Zhishu to explain in detail; some of the people following behind him understood what he meant and took charge of the matter.

Taking advantage of this gap, Huang Zhishu seized the opportunity and stepped forward and said, "Commander, this time the thieves have offended your dignity. It is really the fault of our Red Maple Market. Please forgive me!"

"Oh?" Chen Pingan suddenly found it funny when he saw Huang Zhishu's reaction.

The Red Maple Market encountered an unknown disaster for no reason, but in the end, they still had to apologize to him to take care of his feelings! No wonder so many people want to be in a high position. No matter what you can think of or not, the people below have already thought of every aspect of you. You don't need to worry about your own affairs. The people below worry more than you!
Huang Zhishu saw Chen Pingan didn't say anything, and thought he was angry, so he immediately said with a smile: "Your Excellency guards a place, and your reputation spreads far and wide, and you intimidate the villains in all directions to ensure peace in all areas. We have been taken care of by your Excellency for a long time, but we have never expressed our gratitude. This trip and this action are absolutely not what a son of man should do! Now that your Excellency is here, the timing is right, and this is a little token of our gratitude."

As he spoke, Huang Zhishu took out a jade box, bent down and respectfully handed it to Chen Pingan.

"Please accept it, sir!"

Huang Zhishu bent over, and Chen Pingan did not respond.

Since Chen Ping'an didn't say anything, no one around him dared to speak, and the scene became tense for a moment.

Huang Zhishu's heart was in turmoil, but his body did not move. He just bent over and respectfully handed over the jade box.

Chen Pingan glanced at Huang Zhishu with a half-smile, and finally took the jade box.

Chen Pingan could clearly feel that the moment he accepted the jade box, Huang Zhishu seemed to be relieved. Not only Huang Zhishu, but also several people around him had the same reaction.

If Chen Pingan didn't accept this gift, they might not even be able to sleep well. Tossing and turning in the middle of the night, they were probably thinking about why Chen Pingan didn't accept their gift.

Sometimes, if a gift is accepted, the person who gives the gift is often happier than the person who receives it!
After an episode, Chen Pingan gave You Yongming a few instructions, and then, under the arrangement of Huang Zhishu and others, he entered a study room. Although the decoration in the study room was not extremely luxurious, it could be seen that the decoration was carefully arranged.

On the desk, there are all kinds of pens, ink, paper and inkstone. The ink is already ground and can be used directly with the pen. The paper is of the right size, already spread out and neatly pressed with a special paperweight.

It seems that the people under him have already thought of everything he wants to do.

Chen Pingan glanced at the desk, his heart was calm. He was not interested in this, these things could be used as a seasoning, but they were not the ultimate goal of his martial arts practice.

Chen Pingan sat upright at the desk, picked up a pen and began to write official documents.
