The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 385: On the Eve of Farewell, Night Tour of Weishui River

On his way home from his mission to the Pacification Office, Chen Pingan thought of Mu Wanjun.

This woman was very kind to him! In the past, he was able to successfully enter the register and obtain the status of a formal official because of this woman's promotion. Now that he has achieved success and fame, he must repay her a little.

He originally thought that he would be able to meet Wanjun at the Mu family dinner. However, he never expected that Wanjun happened to be in seclusion and had a breakthrough. The two of them did not meet.

"I haven't come out of seclusion for such a long time. I wonder if it's because I'm having trouble breaking through the realm!? Or have I already broken through the barrier and am working on consolidating my realm!?" Chen Pingan thought secretly in his heart.

The Weishui Zhenfu Division was not far from the house that Chen Pingan had purchased before, so he returned home quickly in a carriage.

When Chen Pingan arrived home, the little girl had just returned from Weishui Academy. Logically, the little girl was about to leave Weishui and go to Canglongzhou City to study. In the past few days, she didn't have to go to the academy. However, the little girl didn't want to waste time, and she still went to school every day.

I heard that the little girl has been working on the follow-up homework framework these days, and she doesn't plan to waste the time she spends in Canglongzhou City. After the homework framework is sorted out, she can study hard on her own.

An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time!

The little girl actually put this sentence into practice in her life.

Strictly speaking, the brother and sister are quite similar. One studies hard every day, and the other practices hard every day, never slacking off!
Chen Pingan was able to persist in this way only because of the real-time positive feedback from the gold finger panel. I don't know what the motivation of the little girl's hard study is! ?

"Brother, you're back~" Seeing Chen Ping'an coming back, the little girl put down her book, her eyebrows curved and her smile turned into a crescent shape.

Looking at the little girl's smiling face, Chen Pingan suddenly became a little dazed. It seemed as if time had returned to the time when the brother and sister depended on each other.

He worked hard outside all day and came home exhausted. The little girl was waiting at home early. When she saw him coming back, she said something cute to him, which washed away his fatigue.

Scenes flashed through Chen Ping'an's mind like flowing water, and countless moments intersected and overlapped. Chen Ping'an froze in place, and it took a while before he said a word.

"Well, I'm back."

The little girl was a little surprised, but she didn't ask too many questions. She just happily talked about the new lessons she had learned today.

Chen Ping'an's heart softened, his face full of smiles, he listened attentively. Shaoyao stood by his side, blinking her big eyes, listening to the conversation between the brother and sister.

The afterglow of the setting sun pours in through the window, and the interaction of light and shadow creates a warm and soft beautiful picture.

Chen Pingan came back early today from his work trip because he wanted to take the little girl to have a good look at the Weishui County City before she left Weishui.

Their first stop was back to Nanquanli Lane and Lihua Lane.

This is where they grew up!
With Chen Ping'an's promotion to deputy commander-in-chief, their former residence was officially taken over by the Waicheng Town Pacification Office, which was responsible for the repair and maintenance of the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard of Lihua Lane, there were regular officials directly under the Waicheng Town Fusi. For this reason, the Waicheng Town Fusi even set up a station nearby. This matter even directly affected the situation in Lihua Lane and even Nanquan Lane.

Some gangs that are used to hanging around at the bottom of society would keep their tails between their legs whenever they came to Lihua Lane, fearing that they would cause any trouble. This also indirectly improved the public security level of Lihua Lane, making it the safest lane in South City, second only to the core area.

This incident was just a small impact brought about by Chen Ping'an's promotion. Similar situations and impacts were reflected in every detail.

This time when he returned to Nanquanli Lane and Lihua Lane, Chen Pingan was not as low-key as before.

Accompanied by many guards, he and the little girl sat in a tall and wide specially made carriage and returned to the old courtyard.

Before they arrived, their subordinates had already notified all local offices in advance to prepare for the reception! Along the way, there were people welcoming them everywhere.

When Chen Pingan officially arrived at the courtyard, a large number of people had already gathered around him, including those from the Urban District Pacification Office, the Lane Pacification Office, the heads of various gangs, and the core members of various small families.

In Lihua Lane, villagers watched from afar. There were also some half-grown children who didn't know what was going on and asked curiously.

"Grandpa, why are there so many people over there? Did something happen?!"

"Silly child, it's Master Chen who's back! These people are here to welcome him!"

"Who is Master Chen?"

"Master Chen is a big shot from our Lihua Lane!"

"Big shot!? Is there such a big difference!?"

"A messenger? You're not even worthy of carrying Lord Chen's shoes!"

"what!?"

"."

In addition to the confused teenagers, there were also excited old neighbors.

"Master Chen is back, Master Chen is back!"

"Where is it? Can you see it clearly?"

"There! Look! It just came off the frame!"

"I see it, I see it! Master Chen!"

"Old Zhang's family, I heard that your Amu was touched by Master Chen. Is that true?"

"Really! Of course it's real! Realer than gold!"

"."

With Chen Ping'an's martial arts realm, he could hear the whispers coming from afar through the crowds. There were also many people's voices among them, which remained in his distant memory.

They were all old neighbors of Lihua Lane, and many of them had watched him grow up. When Old Chen was still around, some people had made fun of him, saying that he was handsome and had a bright future, and could become a charioteer!
Wealth and honor do not return home, just like walking in brocade at night!
Although Chen Ping'an didn't have such an interest, the little girl was about to leave Weishui, so it was time for her to experience it. Whether she liked it or not, it was at least a life experience!
Read thousands of books and taste the flavors of life!
The layout of the courtyard remains the same as it was back then!
A small yard, a bedroom, and half a kitchen, that's all there is to it! It's also the safe haven for the two siblings after Old Chen passed away.

Once again, the little girl was not as happy as before, jumping around. She had a different feeling, walking quietly in the yard, looking at the furnishings and layout around her.

I am leaving Canglongzhou City now, and I don’t know when I will come back! On the eve of departure, I am reluctant to say goodbye!

After leaving the courtyard, Chen Pingan took the little girl to the second stop, which was the Nanquan Lane Zhenfu Division. This was where he worked in the past, and there were too many memories of him.

The little girl was about to leave, so he naturally wanted to take her to see the place where her brother used to work.

There were too many old acquaintances of Chen Pingan in the alleys of Nanquan. His visit was a big event, and it was needless to say that it caused a stir. Chen Pingan walked in the alleys of the Zhenfu Division, and the little girl carefully introduced things. Tian Fuliang accompanied him throughout the whole process, humbly lowering his head and following behind the two of them. In addition to him, there were also many senior officials of the urban Zhenfu Division, who also followed closely behind him.

In Nanquan Lane, Chen Pingan also met a few old acquaintances. However, now, their statuses were very different, and they seemed extremely reserved. Some even trembled faintly, and it was unknown whether it was due to nervousness or excitement.

The only one who performed better was Qin Tou, who was about to retire. When he saw Chen Pingan, Qin Tou's eyes were full of trance.

Who could have thought that a street patrol officer under his command who had not even been registered would have reached this point today! The level was far beyond the limit of imagination!
Looking at the overly young and familiar face in front of him, he seemed to have returned to the old days! The Qilinzi of the old Chen family!
After leaving the Nanquan Lane Zhenfu Division, the third stop Chen Pingan took the little girl to was the South City Prison! This was the place where he had once served as the top leader.

When Chen Ping'an's carriage arrived, the South City Prison welcomed him respectfully, needless to say. It is worth mentioning that Chen Pingan actually met his former trusted henchman, Zeng Ji Xiao Zeng!

Among the few people at the beginning, Xiao Zeng had the best martial arts talent. In the past two years, with Chen Ping'an's relationship, he was also doing well in the South City Prison.

Today, he has become the most powerful officer in South City Prison!

He is in charge of six squads with more than twenty strong and powerful men. When they see him, they have to respectfully call him Zeng Chatou!

However, in front of Chen Ping'an, Xiao Zeng is still the same Xiao Zeng, and regards himself as his trusted follower.

After visiting the Nancheng Prison, Chen Pingan encouraged Xiao Zeng a few words, then left with the little girl to the fourth stop, Nancheng Town Pacification Office.

Because of Chen Ping's entrustment, Mu Wanjun transferred Houtou and Dashan from Nanquan Lane to Nancheng Town Fusi. This time in Nancheng Town Fusi, Chen Ping'an met his two old brothers.

With Chen Ping'an's care, the two old brothers are doing well in the Nancheng Town Fusi. For example, Houtou has become a leader, managing four squads. Wearing the leader's cape, I don't know if he has realized his dream or not!
Compared to Houtou, Dashan was not doing as well as he should. But now he was also a reserve captain, in charge of two squads.

With Chen Ping'an's care, Houtou's carefree personality will undoubtedly make it easier for him to get along.

This time they met again, they seemed a little unfamiliar with each other. Chen Pingan was in a high position, and his status was very different. In addition, they had not seen each other for a long time, so Houtou and Dashan seemed a little reserved.

However, Chen Pingan took the initiative to mention the past, and the memories helped to resolve a lot of the unfamiliarity. When it was time to leave, they all vaguely regained some of the feelings they had back then.

"Hooutou, Dashan, work hard! As long as you are diligent in your work and loyal to your duties, the higher-ups will see it!" Chen Pingan patted the shoulders of both of them in turn.

Chen Ping'an's actions were naturally noted by many people around him. Only Hou Tou and Da Shan knew what arrangements would be made later.

After coming out of the Nancheng Town Fusi, Chen Ping'an's mood seemed to have become happier. Influenced by him, the little girl's sadness was also alleviated a lot.

After visiting the outer city of Weishui, Chen Pingan took the little girl to the inner city of Weishui. Although it was late at night, the inner city of Weishui was still brightly lit and dazzling, as if it was two different worlds from the outer city of Weishui.

Lanterns of all kinds were hung high on both sides of the street, emitting soft and warm light. In the busy city, the occasional shouts attracted pedestrians to stop.

Chen Ping'an and the little girl sat on the carriage, eating pastries and admiring the night view of the inner city of Weishui.

Among the many prosperous places, there are also quaint brothels with two big red lanterns hanging in front of the door, reflecting the figures of beauties standing in front of the windows upstairs. They are dressed in gorgeous clothes, dancing in light gauze, showing their charm and style in every gesture, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Inadvertently, Chen Pingan took a few more glances.

"Brother!" The little girl looked over angrily.

Chen Pingan retracted his gaze and looked at the little girl's appearance, and couldn't help but smile: "What's wrong?"

"Brother, when I go to Canglongzhou City, don't be fascinated by them! This place is full of brothels! Even if you want to be fascinated by them, you have to wait until you marry my sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law? Where did the sister-in-law come from?" Chen Pingan asked curiously.

He didn't pay attention to what the little girl said before. To others, this place was a den of money. But to him, it didn't matter whether it was a den of money or not.

As long as he wanted, he didn't even need to show up in person. He only needed to reveal his idea, and someone would pack up the woman he liked and send her to his door.

At Chen Ping'an's level, what people fear most is that you don't accept gifts! If you can give them what you want, they will beg for it! If Chen Pingan accepts the gift, they will thank him in return!

"Brother, you still want to lie to me! I knew it a long time ago!" The little girl looked proud.

"what do you know!?"

"Of course it's because you're going to find a sister-in-law for me soon!" the little girl said proudly, with her back straightened.

"What a mess!" Hearing this, Chen Ping'an's face darkened: "I don't even know myself, how do you know?"

"Humph, it's all spread! And you're still trying to make excuses!"

Seeing the little girl's confident face, Chen Pingan was speechless for a moment.

What the little girl heard should be the rumors that the Gu family was interested in forming an alliance with him and was preparing to marry off their daughter.

This is indeed the case! He and Gu Qingchan even had a brief discussion about it. However, there is still no sign of it until now! Not to mention that it has really been implemented! How come when the little girl heard it, it became that he was about to marry someone! ?

Could it be that the reason why the top students are top students is because they have a particularly strong ability to imagine?

The little girl looked very proud, while Chen Pingan looked helpless.

There was silence in the carriage for a while, and then the little girl's voice rang out again: "By the way, brother, what does my sister-in-law look like?!"

Chen Ping'an's forehead jumped: "No sister-in-law, I said no!"

"Isn't my sister-in-law very gentle and beautiful?!"

The little girl's words made Chen Ping'an's expression soften instantly, and his heart was deeply touched.

The scenes buried deep in his memory began to emerge in his mind.

"Brother, I know. But I was thinking that even if the 14 taels of silver were paid back, there were still many important things to be done at home, and there were still many places where the money could be spent. I still wanted to save as much as possible."

"What big thing hasn't been done?"

"My brother is getting married. He is nineteen years old, and next year he will be a young man. I have asked Granny Wang from Changqiao Lane, and she said that if I want to marry a wife, I will need at least ten taels of silver to cover all the expenses!
Besides, my brother is so outstanding, it is not okay for him to just marry an ordinary wife. Therefore, ten taels of silver is not enough, and the family must prepare at least twenty taels of silver for my brother to marry. My mother died early, and there is no one in the family to plan this for my brother, so I am the only one left. "

"You little brat, you're such a smart kid!"

"My sister-in-law should be the most gentle and beautiful."

"The most gentle, the most beautiful." Recalling the past, Chen Pingan's face showed tenderness and he murmured to himself.

"Look, brother, you still don't admit it, but it's true!" Looking at Chen Ping'an's expression, the little girl looked as if she had discovered the truth.

"No, really not!"

"I don't believe it! It just exists!"

"."

The car frame gradually moved away and disappeared at the end of the street, leaving only warmth and beauty.
