The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 376: Gambling in the air, discussion on promotion

"Sir, there is a letter for you."

As soon as Chen Ping'an came out of seclusion, he heard the news of the letter from Yuan Zutong.

Zhong Shanliang's injuries were quite serious, and Yuan Zutong has been in charge of everything in the Zhenfu Division these days.

"Oh?" Chen Pingan was a little surprised: "Where did you send it from?"

"To answer your question, sir, it should have come from the important town of Beicang!" Yuan Zutong said respectfully.

Chen Ping'an's eyes flashed, and he roughly guessed who sent the letter.

In his own public house, Chen Pingan saw this letter. There was a confidential wax on the letter and a seal on it, which was of extremely high quality!

He opened the envelope, turned over the letter, and saw the signature, which was exactly what Chen Pingan had expected.

The letter was sent by Gu Qingchan!
Speaking of which, he and Gu Qingchan had just met in the important town of Beicang not long ago, so why was he sending a letter now?
With a hint of doubt, Chen Pingan flipped through the letter from Gu Qingchan.

Without much pleasantries, Gu Qingchan's opening was concise and clear, directly pointing out the topic.

Gu Qingchan bluntly said that she had also heard about the dispute over the merits of Chen Pingan and Qiankunsi. After roughly understanding the situation, she took the opportunity to add fuel to the flames.

It wasn't a big deal, and she thought that with her presence, the Qiankun Division would at least give her some face. But she didn't expect that the communication between the two sides was relatively smooth at the beginning, but there were problems in the implementation stage. After some inquiries, it should be that someone from the Qiankun Division also spoke up.

Originally, Gu Qingchan was just doing this for fun. But after she had spoken, someone from Qiankun Division actually didn't give her face. This really made her angry. In a serious manner, she mobilized a lot of resources to help Chen Pingan make this happen.

However, the person who spoke at the Qiankun Division was no small matter. Although his overall influence was not as good as Gu Qingchan, he was in the Qiankun Division and served as the candidate for the Golden Luo Qiankun Envoy, so he had the home advantage after all.

After a long-distance battle and a contest of wits, it ended in a draw!

This outcome, put into practice, is the credit of the three Xuanguan elders of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, and will be shared equally by the Qiankun Division and the Zhenfu Division, half on each side!
In other words, Chen Pingan could only enjoy half of the credit for the three Xuanguan elders of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

Chen Pingan couldn't help but smile when he read Gu Qingchan's description in the letter that she was angered by the other party and tried her best to help.

"Although Gu Qingchan's nickname is Ice Soul Silver Needle, she does have a very hot temper!"

As he spoke, Chen Pingan's mind suddenly recalled the record about Gu Qingchan in Grandmaster's Miscellaneous Talks.

When she was young, Gu Qingchan was also the prodigy of the Gu family and ranked first on the Canglongzhou Rookie List. At that time, her personality was really hot-tempered, and it was not until she practiced the Xuanbing Heart Method that her personality improved.

Although the final result of this matter was not particularly ideal, Gu Qingchan's move was enough to make Chen Pingan appreciate it when the two of them had only met once.

Compared with the merit certification itself, what is really worth pondering about this matter is Gu Qingchan’s attitude, which is the signal sent out through this matter!
The matter involved a game between two great masters, and the impact was bound to be significant. During the process, many people were watching.

Gu Family Grandmaster, Bingpo Silver Needle, Gu Qingchan wanted to certify Chen Pingan's merits, so she did not hesitate to turn against the Grandmaster of the same realm, and they played games in the air, compared calculations, and even fought!

Gu Qingchan is willing to go to such lengths for Chen Pingan. Who wouldn't be terrified when seeing this kind of protection?
If we combine this with the news that was previously circulated in the Zhenfu Division, that the Director of the State Zhenfu Division, Gu Haoqing, intends to select a younger generation from the clan to marry Chen Pingan, who wouldn't be tempted to think about this! ?
No matter what Chen Pingan thought in his heart, after this incident, in the eyes of outsiders, he was branded with the Gu family's mark.

This is not a bad thing. The Gu family has a great influence in the Zhenfusi system. With the Gu family behind him, people in the Zhenfusi system will naturally pay more attention to him!
Speaking of which, was it not for this purpose that Gu Qingchan did not hesitate to escalate the situation?

Chen Ping'an couldn't help but think more deeply about it.

If this is true, then Gu Qingchan's mind is deep enough. Chen Pingan's mind appeared the image of the other party, with her hair tied up high, dotted with gems and pearls, shining with dazzling light, and her long skirt is elegant and noble, like a peerless beauty.

But when Chen Ping'an's eyes fell on the other person's vivid baby face, he couldn't connect her with the words "deep-minded".

But no matter whether Gu Qingchan did it intentionally or unintentionally, the result was this. Taking this incident as an opportunity, Chen Pingan's reputation was tied to the Gu family!
Call it an open conspiracy or a calculated plan, Chen Pingan has gotten on the thief's side of the Gu family... um, on the chariot!

"But." Chen Pingan exerted force on his palm, a green light flashed, and the letter paper in his hand began to burn: "If I don't want to, no one can force me! As long as I want, I can get off the Gu family's chariot at any time, and the relationship between me and the Gu family can be untied at any time!"

Dependence or cooperation is nothing more than a matter of strength! In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between him and the Gu family is that he is dependent on the Gu family.

But as long as he keeps working hard like this, sooner or later it will be the Gu family themselves that will be in a dependent position!

But that is a matter for the future. For now, he likes Gu Qingchan quite a bit, and having the relationship with the Gu family is in his best interest.

The flames turned into green flames and dissipated, and the letter paper was completely annihilated in the air.

"Tong Guan!" Chen Ping'an's eyes narrowed slightly.

In the letter, Gu Qingchan also mentioned the name of the master of Qiankun Division. He also explained to Chen Pingan the relationship between him and Tong Jin. The reason why the other party took action this time was probably because Chen Pingan killed Tong Jin!
At the end of the letter, Gu Qingchan reminded Chen Pingan that Tong Guan was a vicious and cruel person. Although he would not attack Chen Pingan openly due to his relationship with the Pacification Bureau, he would probably retaliate against him secretly.

Gu Qingchan asked Chen Pingan to pay more attention, be careful about everything, and be cautious in everything.

"I said before that if you can avoid making enemies openly, then don't do it! I didn't expect that in just a short while, I'd make another master enemy!" Thinking of Gu Qingchan's reminder, Chen Pingan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although he is not afraid of Tong Guan, he is still a bit of a trouble!

Trouble! Trouble! So much trouble!

I just want to practice in peace, why do you always disturb me! ?

In the final analysis, the overt deterrence is not enough!
"I will push forward the improvement of my martial arts realm as soon as possible, and show more strength in a timely and orderly manner!" Chen Pingan thought secretly in his heart: "Tong Guan is more or less a hidden danger. I need to get a targeted understanding of his information as soon as possible."

While thinking, Chen Pingan thought of his sister Erya. Although he was not afraid of Tong Guan, there was no guarantee that the other party would not use some despicable means to deal with Erya.

"In front there was the old man with seven quatrains, and behind there is Tong Guan! What the hell," thinking of this, Chen Pingan's heart was covered with a layer of haze.

The only thing that comforted him a little was that Gu Qingchan mentioned this matter in the letter and said that she would pay special attention to his family.

"No! The matter of the state capital cannot be delayed any longer! The sooner the better!" Chen Pingan's mind moved, and he sat back at the long table, spread out the letter paper, and began to write eloquently.

He has no roots in Canglongzhou City, so he needs Gu Qingchan's help! Since he has already boarded the Gu family's chariot, it is tacitly understood that if he has something to ask for, the Gu family must also express some expression. In addition, from the perspective of game theory, if you want to quickly establish trust, asking for help moderately and showing weakness is undoubtedly an excellent method. If handled properly, the relationship between the two sides will be quickly brought closer!
After Chen Pingan finished writing the letter and asked someone to mail it as soon as possible, he left the public housing directly.

He wanted to go to Weishui County to meet Erya.

"Come here, prepare the carriage! Let's go to Weishui County City!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

A special carriage used exclusively by the Zhenfu Division drove out of Wufeng Mountain City, escorted by a dozen riders.

"Erya!" Chen Pingan sat quietly in the carriage, silently reciting his sister's name.

Speaking of which, the brother and sister haven't seen each other for quite some time since their last separation. Even if Tong Guan hadn't happened, it would be about time for him to go and see the little girl.

He had already asked Gu Qingchan to take care of the school in Canglongzhou City. It was not a difficult task, and Gu Qingchan would not refuse him. With the influence of the Gu family, Erya's study in Canglongzhou City was basically settled.

What Chen Pingan really needs to consider is that Weishui County is thousands of miles away from Canglongzhou City. Although the security within the state is acceptable, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents on the road.

Especially when he was being targeted by Old Man Qi Jue and Tong Guan, and it involved Erya, he didn't want to take any risk at all.

Therefore, it would be best if a master accompanied Arya to Canglongzhou City. If there was no suitable master, then he, as her brother, would personally escort Arya to Canglongzhou City.

However, before that, Chen Ping'an's strength must be further improved! With his current strength, if the old man Qi Jue took action, let alone protecting Erya, even saving his own life would be quite difficult.

Of course, within the state, the ones who are truly in a strong position are the Zhenfu Division, Qiankun Division and the major families. At this critical juncture, the probability of the Seventh Elder forcing a move is very small.

But for Chen Pingan, as long as there is such a possibility, he has to be on guard.

Therefore, the most ideal situation is to wait until he enters the middle stage of Yuheng, and then personally escort Erya to Canglongzhou City. Before he has a breakthrough, he will first take Erya to his side and take care of her personally. Although it will sacrifice some of the little girl's study time, it is the only way during this special period.

"Practice!" Chen Pingan's mind moved, and he sat down cross-legged, moving the meridians, and practicing the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body Technique.

Judging from his current progress in cultivation, it is expected that after arriving at Weishui County City, his practice of the Dragon Elephant Body Art will be able to make further progress and enter the realm of great success!

If the Dragon Elephant Body Technique is perfected, then Chen Ping'an's overall combat power will be close to the level of a mid-stage Yuheng Grandmaster.

On the third day after Chen Ping'an left Wufeng Mountain City, the Weishui Pacification Office received the latest appointment from the Canglongzhou Pacification Office.

After the latest appointment of the Provincial Pacification Office was delivered, several senior officials of the Weishui Pacification Office were urgently called into the public housing of the Commander-in-Chief Fan Zhengheng.

"What? Promote Chen Pingan to deputy commander-in-chief!?"

In Fan Zhengheng's official housing, Liu Yuanhua, who had just heard the news, couldn't help but exclaim.

A 22-year-old deputy commander! Are you kidding!?

In the Weishui Pacification Division, the deputy commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief were both high-ranking officials, but their significance was completely different.

Normally, if a candidate for the commander-in-chief wants to be promoted to deputy commander-in-chief, he can't even think about it without more than ten or twenty years of polishing! Moreover, this time is still relatively fast! There are many candidates for the commander-in-chief who have never taken a step forward in their entire lives.

Compared to the candidate level of the Metropolitan Commander, if you want to be the Deputy Metropolitan Commander, there is a hard lever that is agreed upon, that is, the martial arts realm must at least reach the pinnacle realm! Only the pinnacle realm meets the basic conditions for the Deputy Metropolitan Commander!

In addition to his age, Chen Ping'an's martial arts realm did not meet this requirement at all. Even though Chen Pingan had a combat power comparable to the top, it was undoubtedly too much of a stretch to meet this condition.

Besides, how long has it been since Chen Pingan was promoted to the deputy commander? How much merit has he achieved? It's totally not enough to get promoted! ?
After hearing the news of Chen Ping'an's promotion, except for Liu Yuanhua, the other people in the public housing had similar reactions, all with surprised expressions. However, unlike Liu Yuanhua, they did not say anything.

Fan Zhengheng, the commander-in-chief of the Weishui Pacification Division, is a middle-aged man with a square face and a small beard, which adds a touch of elegance to him.

Fan Zhengheng, a pseudo-grandmaster! He had suffered a serious injury in his early years, which greatly damaged his foundation. His combat power was almost at the bottom among the pseudo-grandmasters. Strictly speaking, he was only slightly stronger than the top! Any expert on the Dragon and Tiger List could fight him back and forth!

But this does not affect his majesty in the Weishui Pacification Office at all!
Hearing Liu Yuanhua's exclamation, Fan Zhengheng looked up at him. Liu Yuanhua immediately stopped talking, and the others beside him also restrained their expressions.

"The provincial pacification office has already decided on Chen Ping'an's promotion, and we have no right to question it!" Fan Zhengheng's voice was heavy, resounding like thunder in the public housing.

"Sir Fan, I have no intention of questioning anything. I just felt doubtful about it, so I lost my composure a little." Liu Yuanhua explained with a stern expression.

Although he is powerful, he still has to maintain basic respect in front of Fan Zhengheng.

"What are you confused about?" After all, Liu Yuanhua is the spokesperson for the Weishui Liu family. As long as it doesn't touch upon the core interests, Fan Zhengheng will not offend him.

Liu Yuanhua expressed his doubts at the right time, one was about Chen Ping'an's realm, and the other was about his merits.

"Although Chen Ping'an's realm has not yet reached the peak, his combat power is comparable to the peak. With his talent, it is only a matter of time before he reaches the peak. This matter has been specially approved by the State Pacification Office. In addition." Fan Zhengheng paused: "As for the so-called meritorious service, Chen Ping'an also meets the promotion conditions of the State Pacification Office!"

"Meets the requirements?" Liu Yuanhua was a little surprised after hearing Fan Zhengheng's explanation.

According to the information he had learned, although Chen Ping'an had made many contributions, he was still far from the requirements for promotion to Deputy Commander-in-Chief!

Fan Zhengheng glanced at Liu Yuanhua and said, "In addition to the regular merits, the State Pacification Office also added some additional merits to commend Chen Ping'an for killing the disciple of the Seventh Elder. This incident has dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Tianluo Sect and boosted the morale of the Pacification Office. It can be used as a typical commendation!"

Hearing this, Liu Yuanhua was stunned and stopped talking.

When your boss wants to promote you, you will do whatever it takes to meet the promotion requirements!

When they don't want to promote you, they will strictly review everything and follow the procedures. You have passed the review with great difficulty and are expected to be promoted. But at the last minute, they will often put your promotion on hold with the excuse that you are too young and lack experience.

Man! Why are we so different as human beings?

It really makes one sigh!
PS: Brothers, what position do you think you will be promoted to? Oh, by the way, where is Abai? Why haven’t I seen Abai’s comments recently?
