The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 428: Gambling Trend, Undercurrent Surges (asking for monthly ticket~)

Qiankun Siwei water is divided.

"Mang Dao Chen Ping'an was promoted to Deputy Commander of Beicang!?" Feng Chengxiu's face was extremely shocked, with deep astonishment flashing in his eyes.

As soon as he got the news, he repeatedly confirmed the truth of the news through multiple channels. Finally, with the announcement of the Canglong Prefecture Pacification Office in the prefecture, the authenticity of the matter was completely confirmed.

The important town of Beicang, located on the Long'an trade route, is one of the three major towns in Long'an. The forces within it are complex, and the interests of all parties are intertwined, making it far more complicated than ordinary places.

The important town of Beicang is directly under the jurisdiction of the Canglongzhou Zhenfu Division, and is a special organization, one level higher than the general county. Although the deputy garrison commander of Beicang is called a deputy, he is undoubtedly at the level of a general commander. In addition, due to the special nature of the organization, the deputy garrison commander of Beicang is slightly higher than the ordinary general commander in terms of level.

From a certain perspective, the promotion of Chen Pingan, the Rough Blade, can be regarded as a promotion of one and a half levels. After the promotion, he will be even better than Fan Zhengheng and his ilk.

"A deputy governor who is less than 23 years old." Wu Dazhen's face was full of shock, and the astonishment in his eyes lingered for a long time. "At such a young age, he has ascended to this position. Looking at the entire Canglong State, I am afraid there are not many people like him. If you consider the family background of Mangdao Chen Pingan, then..."

Wu Dazhen didn't finish his words, but Feng Chengxiu understood his meaning very clearly.

Looking at the situation of Mang Dao Chen Pingan, it can be said that he is unique in the Canglong Prefecture.

At the age of less than 23, he has reached such a high position. He is talented, experienced, and at such a young age, he is already the first echelon of combat power below the Grandmaster. His future is bright.
There was even more shock in Feng Chengxiu's eyes. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little more grateful for his previous caution.

Fortunately, fortunately.
"Try to ease the relationship with this boy and never offend him easily!"

At this moment, Feng Chengxiu completely let go of Tong Jin's matter. He had no choice but to let it go. In terms of strength, he was not as good as Chen Pingan, but in terms of status, Chen Pingan was no less than him. If he took into account the special nature of being in charge of a party, Chen Pingan would be even higher than him.

He is not as strong as him, and his status is inferior to his. The most important thing is that Chen Ping'an is young enough. In this case, if Feng Chengxiu still holds on to the previous events, then he has lived a dog's life all these years.

"Great Town, prepare the gifts! Tomorrow, no, today, come with me to pay a visit to our new deputy governor of Beicang!"

Hearing this, Wu Dazhen was startled, then responded.

"Yes! Sir."

Weishuiwaicheng Town Fusi.

Yan Wu sat motionless in the public housing of the Pacification Office, looking a little dazed.

Deputy Guardian of Beicang. What a distant title!

The memories in his mind kept changing, and finally presented a scene. In the box, he sat opposite a handsome young man, talking about the important town of Beicang.

"Sir Chen, in order to open up this important town, I don't know how much it cost, and countless laborers died! There are also major forces in the state stationed in the surrounding areas of the town."

This scene seemed very far away, but in fact it happened less than two years ago. In just two years, the young man who had eaten at the same table with him had grown to a height that was beyond his reach.

"Beicang..." Yan Wu looked melancholy, as if he had lost something.

The shock about the Rough Blade Chen Pingan continued to ferment in all regions of Canglong. Bei Cang was an important town, connecting the two states for trade, and the benefits of the exchanges were countless. Chen Pingan was promoted to the deputy governor of Bei Cang, with full authority to control all matters in Bei Cang. This prestige was far greater than that of the commander-in-chief of the ordinary county pacification department.

At Chen Ping'an's current age, even if he was promoted to the commander-in-chief of a county, it would be shocking enough, let alone being promoted to the position of deputy governor of Beicang.

You know, the position of the governor of the important town of Beicang has been vacant for a long time. With Chen Ping'an's current age, if there are no obstacles in the future, he will be able to be promoted to the position of the governor of Beicang. This kind of prospect is far beyond the reach of an ordinary county pacification department commander.

In addition, the game behind Chen Ping'an's promotion was quite subtle, and it caused a certain degree of turmoil in Canglongzhou.

In the division of power in Canglong Province, the Xue family has a great influence in the important town of Beicang. For example, the person who is currently in charge of the overall situation in Beicang is Xue Kunsheng, a descendant of the Xue family and the King Kong Demon Subduing Chain.

The position of governor of Beicang has been vacant for a long time. Previously, Xue Kunsheng was the deputy governor of Beicang, and had full control over all matters in Beicang. However, the rebellion in Beicang had far-reaching consequences. As the chief officer of an important town, Xue Kunsheng had an unshirkable responsibility, and his position was demoted from deputy governor to alternate governor.

However, although Xue Kunsheng's position was demoted, under the manipulation and bargaining of the Xue family, Xue Kunsheng's reputation was not lost. He temporarily took over the responsibility of the chief officer of the Beicang Town and had full control over all matters in the town. Therefore, overall, the Xue family's influence in the Beicang Town has not been reduced much.

But now, with Chen Ping'an's promotion and appointment, the situation is no longer the same. Chen Ping'an was promoted to the position of deputy governor of Beicang, with full authority to control all matters in the important town. This is equivalent to taking the reputation of the important town of Beicang away from Xue Kunsheng.

After the appointment is announced, Xue Kunsheng will also become Chen Pingan's subordinate.

After Chen Ping'an has firmly established himself as the deputy governor of Beicang, the Xue family's influence in the important town of Beicang will also decline significantly.

On the surface, this was Chen Ping'an's promotion, but in secret, it was the game and competition between the state capital families. Chen Ping'an represented the Canglong Gu family.

Previously, the Xue family did not hesitate to sacrifice some of their interests and transferred Xue Mingde to the Liyang Zhenfu Division as the commander-in-chief, blocking Chen Ping'an's path to promotion. In the game of the aristocratic families, they had the upper hand and enjoyed great prestige.

At that time, the Gu family's reputation also declined to a certain extent.

But now, with Chen Ping'an's promotion, the situation suddenly changed, and the Gu family strongly announced to the outside world that the one who really laughed last was their Canglong Gu family. In this family game, they really won.

The Xue family not only lost more than they gained, but also lost both their wife and their army. Not only did they sacrifice their interests in Qiyun County, but they also lost their reputation as an important town in Beicang, and were suppressed by the Gu family.

The reason why this game was successful, in addition to the Gu family's own resources and scheduling, the most critical factor was the absolute strength displayed by Chen Pingan.

Patrolling the Wei River, he killed the Qianye Phantom Hand of the Tianlian Sect, and his head was hung on the wall. In a battle on the long street, he severely injured the Northern Swordsman with one sword. According to the outside world's evaluation, the Rough Blade Chen Pingan possessed the power of a powerful pseudo-grandmaster, which perfectly broke the prejudice and arrogance of others towards him during the previous deliberation of the State Pacification Division.

The Gu family took advantage of the situation and finally achieved the result of this game. Not only did they sweep away the previous decline, but they also perfectly reaped the fruits of the Xue family's long-term efforts in the important town of Beicang.

In this series of family games, which lasted for several months, the final result was that the Gu family made a huge profit, the Wang family made a small profit, and the Xue family suffered a huge loss.

The Gu family gained fame and the interests of the important town of Beicang, the Wang family gained part of the interests of Qiyun County that was ceded by the Xue family, and the Xue family lost the reputation of the important town of Beicang, part of the interests of Qiyun County and the outside world's momentum.

The Wang family and the Xue family joined forces, but ultimately failed to achieve their goal of suppressing the Gu family. In terms of victory or defeat, both the Xue and Wang families were losers. But in terms of the results, the Wang family not only did not lose too much, but instead gained a small amount of benefits.

In the game, some forces form alliances with each other, but it is not necessarily a relationship of mutual prosperity and mutual loss. Different events, different positions, and different timings will lead to deviations in the final results.

The result may be that we both lost in the alliance, but I lost a lot, while you made a lot. Or our alliance obviously won, you made a lot of money, but I got nothing.

Because of this situation, the allies are not really close to each other, and they all work in their own way. In this process, there are all kinds of calculations and thoughts. Each side has its own calculations and positions.

This is just the simplest three-party game. If there are more forces involved, the overall situation will be extremely complicated. It can be said that the interests are intertwined, intertwined, and mixed with each other. It perfectly shows what it means that you are in me and I am in you.

This incident also reflects the ecological environment between power games and is a small microcosm of higher-level games.

This world has never been that simple! It is not just a piece of covenant that can frame people tightly. It is normal for everyone to have their own calculations! Not to mention the positions between different forces, there are also different factions within the same force. These factions have their own positions, their own calculations, and their own thinking logic. However, the factions within any force generally present three categories: conservatives, radicals, and moderates.

No matter which force it is, it is difficult to avoid this outcome. Unless.
A powerful figure with foresight, courage and vision will emerge among the forces. He will use iron-blooded tactics to win the hearts of all parties, remove all obstacles and integrate and rule them into a whole.

A person like this would appear in a prosperous family every once in a while. Whenever such a person appeared in the world, it was the time for the family to prosper.

Seeing the big picture from the small, this principle also applies to the Daqian Dynasty.

It's a pity that such a person has not appeared in the Daqian royal family for a long time. The dynasty is in a state of serious internal friction, with the interests of various forces intertwined and the game of oppression constantly squeezing out the remaining vitality of this ancient dynasty.

But the only thing to be thankful for is that there are still giant pillars in the imperial capital to suppress the dynasty's destiny. If one day, the giant pillars
"He is less than 23 years old, sitting in the Northern Cang, controlling everything. This Rough Blade Chen Pingan is truly a child of destiny."

"A child of destiny? He is already a big shot who is feared by everyone, and he is also a child of destiny!"

"Ahem, ahem, a blunder! Please don't take it personally!"

"Sitting in charge of an important town with countless elite soldiers under my command, what a glorious honor it is. If I could enjoy this honor one day, it would be worth it even if I died!"

"Worth it? Who wouldn't be worth it? You have a worthless life, and you want to exchange it for power. You're dreaming!"

"You! How can you talk like that!" "Hey, what's wrong? You don't like to hear the truth!"

"."

In a huge underground hall, the fire flickered, illuminating the surroundings in flickering light.

Sitting on the high platform and jade chair, the old man Qi Jue had shaved cheeks, sunken eye sockets, and cloudy eyes.

"Chen Ping'an, the Rough Sword. Soul-breaking Sword Technique."

In the hall, there stood a middle-aged man with a stern face, his black hair tied casually behind his head, looking quite unruly.

The three soul-breaking tricks, Bi Shengdong!

At this moment, Bi Shengdong's eyes were full of shock.

"Soul-breaking Knife"

His mind was reviewing the news he had received in recent days.

On the Weishui Street, the Rough Sword Chen Pingan severely injured the Northern Swordsman Guan Dongxiang with one blow, and it was suspected that he used the secret skill of breaking the soul, breaking the soul with one blow.

"It's just a rubbing, how could it be..." The more Bi Shengdong recalled, the more shocked he looked.

Others may not know, but as his senior brother, he knows it very well. Li Pingjiang only has a copy of the Soul-Breaking Sword Technique on him, and there is absolutely no way he can have the Jade Book of the Inheritance of the Divine Art. The Jade Book of the Soul-Breaking Sword Technique has always been kept in the hands of the old man Qi Jue, and there is absolutely no possibility that his disciples can take it out.

In other words, if Chen Pingan wanted to learn the Soul-Breaking Sword Technique, he could only learn from the copy of the magic skill on Li Pingjiang's body. Magic skills were difficult to learn, and he himself had three magic skills, so he knew the difficulty of them.

He had the inherited artistic conception of the Jade Book of Divine Skills, and also had the careful teaching of Old Man Qi Jue. It took him decades to finally master the three divine skills.

Chen Ping'an mastered the Soul-Breaking Sword Technique in just two years by reading a rubbing of a manuscript.

Not only did he master the swordsmanship, but he also mastered the secret technique of the soul-breaking swordsmanship, the Soul-Breaking Sword!

According to the information circulating in the outside world, Chen Ping'an has already cultivated this Soul-breaking Sword Technique to the Great Perfection Realm. Otherwise, even if Chen Ping'an has profound cultivation, it is absolutely impossible for him to seriously injure the Northern Swordsman with just one sword.

Although the Northern Swordsman Guan Dongxiang was not as good as him in the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, he was also on par with him. The difference in combat power between the two of them was similar. If they fought head-on, he might have a certain advantage, but he would definitely not be able to defeat him easily, let alone seriously injure him with one strike.

The fact that Mang Dao Chen Pingan could achieve this level meant that the opponent’s combat power far exceeded his!
"The power of a powerful pseudo-grandmaster! How long has it been?"

The more Bi Shengdong thought about it, the more frightened he became.

When he first heard about Chen Pingan, he didn't care about this junior at all. Although Gu Wu, the Soul-Breaking Spear, was talented, he was only at the initial stage of Xuan Guang. Even if his combat power was comparable to that of the middle stage of Xuan Guang, it was only temporary. Chen Pingan was able to kill Gu Wu, which was considered a temporary choice, but in front of a real veteran master, he was just like that, vulnerable!
The master asked the fifth junior fellow Li Pingjiang to take action, which was a great estimation of Chen Pingan. Although Li Pingjiang had not yet reached the high realm of Xuan Guang, he could fight to the extreme without being defeated under the Soul-Breaking Sword. With him taking action, the matter was a sure thing.

But who would have thought that bad news came again. Junior brother Li Pingjiang was dead and his head was hanging above Wufeng Mountain City.

After hearing the news, he was filled with anger and volunteered to kill Chen Pingan. He was still quite angry when he was rejected by the old man Qi Jue. He thought that his master was making a fuss. Even if Chen Pingan had the strength of a top master, how could he be his opponent.

He has practiced the three great martial arts, Soul Breaking Leg, Soul Breaking Palm and Soul Breaking Fist, and his combat power has long been at the top. How could an ordinary person at the top be a match for him? ?
But now, reality has harshly told him what it means to be a peerless genius! It has only been a short time since then, and Chen Ping'an's combat power has far surpassed him.

If we calculate according to the time, if he had taken action at the beginning, by the time he arrived at the place and found the right opportunity, Chen Ping'an's fighting power would probably not be inferior to his! In fact, he had already surpassed him. If that was the case, he would be in danger if he really took action!
Fortunately, Master stopped it at that time.
Thinking of this, Bi Shengdong was shocked, but also felt a little fortunate, and his admiration for his master was beyond words.

The Master has been famous for many years and has experienced countless life-and-death crises, but he is still standing strong today. He is truly extremely experienced and far beyond his reach!

While Bi Shengdong was thinking, a younger disciple was standing at the back of the hall, secretly looking at his senior brother Bi Shengdong.

Due to the large-scale suppression of evil spirits in Canglongzhou, their intelligence network in Canglongzhou suffered a certain degree of damage, resulting in a certain delay in the news.

For example, he had just learned that the Rough Blade Chen Ping'an had displayed his supreme power and severely injured a northern swordsman with one blow on the Weishui Street.

"The Soul-Breaking Sword severely wounded the Northern Swordsman. He established the reputation of the Rough Sword!" The young disciple looked horrified and muttered to himself. Looking at the back of his senior brother, some memory scenes emerged in his mind.

"Big Brother, since Fifth Brother is dead, will Chen Pingan get his Soul-Breaking Sword Technique? If so, wouldn't it be possible that the Soul-Breaking Sword could be leaked?"

"Leaked? All Fifth Junior Brother had on him was a copy of the swordplay. Even if Chen Pingan got it, he wouldn't be able to learn it, let alone leak it!"

"Big Brother, Chen Pingan is very talented and is now ranked fifth among rookies. If he studies it carefully, he might be able to learn it!"

When he finished speaking, the eldest senior brother stopped answering, but the expression on his face had already told him the answer.

Learn a magical skill through rubbings!? What a joke!
but now
Chen Pingan not only learned the Rough Blade, but also learned it to an extremely advanced level. I'm afraid what the senior brother said in the past was totally wrong!

As if he had thought of something, the young disciple retracted his gaze and lowered his head, not daring to look at Bi Shengdong any longer.

Old man Qi Jue sat upright on a jade chair. Although his eyes were cloudy, he could see the reactions of his disciples below.

With just a copy of the book, he had cultivated the Soul-Breaking Sword Technique to such a level in two years. He even used this sword to seriously injure the Northern Swordsman, who was on the Dragon and Tiger List. Even in his eyes, Chen Ping'an was excellent enough and could be called an unparalleled genius.

Since knowing this person, the speed of his progress has always exceeded his expectations. Xuanguang initial stage, Xuanguang middle stage, comparable to the top, the top of the top, the top of the top. The powerful pseudo-grandmaster's power.

Along the way, breaking through the realm is as easy as eating and drinking water. He has grown from a junior to a person that the older generation of strong people need to pay attention to. Although he has not yet entered the Grandmaster stage, with the talent shown by Chen Pingan, it is only a matter of time before he enters the Grandmaster stage. Even if he enters the middle stage of Yuheng and becomes a veteran Grandmaster, it is very likely.

Such talent, such talent.
A glimmer of light flashed in the cloudy eyes of the old man Qi Jue: "If I had known it earlier, perhaps..."

Although he has many disciples, no one can truly inherit his legacy. But with the talent that Chen Pingan has shown now, I am afraid he can truly inherit his legacy! He can truly pass on his seven soul-breaking skills!
He is the best genius in his life, but he himself is not a genius.

Among his peers, his talent was not outstanding, and he barely qualified as a genius. But the so-called genius was just like a mediocre person in front of those geniuses.

The skills that others can learn easily, he needs to spend a lot of time, energy and effort, repeatedly pondering and studying, before he can barely master them.

On the rookie list, he ranked last; on the dragon and tiger list, he ranked last. There was no high spirits of a genius, but endless setbacks and failures.

Even if he becomes a grandmaster later, he is still at the bottom among the grandmasters.

But along the way, he finally made it to the end. The former peers of the same generation have now turned into a pile of yellow earth, and no one can compete with him.

"Unfortunately"

The light in the eyes of the old man Qi Jue dimmed in an instant, and the thoughts in his mind instantly dissipated. The revenge of the Tianluo Sect and the death of his disciples had cut off all possibilities.

To be honest, Chen Ping'an was lucky. According to the biography, he had some luck. Before that, he was ready to take action, but he was faced with the encirclement and suppression in Canglongzhou.

When the encirclement and suppression was drawing to a close and he was about to leave, the incident at Thunder Mountain happened. The Saint showed her divine power and severely injured Feng Yuanxiang, the Yin-Yang Sword of the State Pacification Office. This incident stirred up the situation that had been gradually calming down. It also suppressed his intention to leave.

"Forget it, Chen Ping'an, I'll let you live a little longer."

He has been practicing since he was a humble man, and the thing he has the most is patience. Although Chen Ping'an is now very talented, he has no chance of winning in front of him. Even if Chen Pingan has become a master, he will only die if he attacks at all costs. There is no other possibility.

The matter of Chen Ping'an has been decided, and old man Qi Jue's thoughts once again fell on the Holy Maiden Tianluo.

"The saint's demeanor already has the demeanor of a Dharma King who protects the religion. Given time, she may become another one."

Inside the hall, the lights flickered gently, and the mottled light and shadows reflected the old man Qi Jue's barely concealed shock and admiration.

PS: Normally, I should end with the protagonist. There is a small hook design at the end, but... well, let's not mention it. Brothers, wash up and go to bed! Safe~
