The Great Martial Saint!

"Greetings to the town guardian, may you live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."

In front of the Bei Cang Town's pacification office, everyone knelt down. Amidst the waves of respectful welcome, Chen Pingan slowly stepped into the power center of this important town of Bei Cang.

Xue Kunsheng was half a body behind Chen Pingan, and he introduced the various offices and institutions of the Beicang Zhenfu Division with a smile. Guan Dongxiang and Xiong Sanrang stood on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, like the most loyal and reliable guards.

Behind them came Liu Gongxi, Ma Yuanbang and other middle and high-level officials of the Pacification Office, who followed closely. Whenever their eyes fell on Guan Dongxiang, they couldn't help but reveal a hint of horror in the depths of their eyes.

The swordsman of the north, Guan Dongxiang, a master on the Dragon and Tiger List, is willing to be a guard! This new deputy garrison commander is really a big show!

Combined with the various rumors about the other party, everyone's eyes became more and more shocked.

"Sir Chen, this is the main hall of the Pacification Office. On weekdays..." Xue Kunsheng introduced it to Chen Pingan in detail with a smile on his face.

Chen Pingan just listened quietly, and most of the time he didn't answer. Occasionally, when he was confused, he didn't need to ask, Xue Kunsheng would take the initiative to answer for him.

When passing by each government office, there would be runners who would respectfully kowtow and greet them politely. When Chen Ping'an's eyes occasionally flashed with interest, the head of the government office would come out and give him a detailed introduction.

The series of introductions were extremely smooth and comfortable.

As for the overall impression of our first meeting, Xue Kunsheng has good manners, which is really good! He is flexible and a real character!

As for what Xue Kunsheng really thought, Chen Pingan didn't care. It was still the same tone. If he didn't make trouble, it would be good for everyone. If he couldn't figure it out and made something up, then let him know what it meant to truly suppress one side!
The Beicang Zhenfu Division occupies a vast area, and the main building is even more majestic. As the chief officer here, Chen Pingan's office has an extremely superior environment.

An entire floor of the main building is his office. In addition to the official residence for daily official business, there are also corresponding main halls, study rooms, tea rooms, etc.

In addition, as the deputy commander of Beicang, Chen Ping'an is in charge of all matters. He has two chief officers under him to assist him in handling some daily affairs.

"Sir, this is where your public house is."

Xue Kunsheng took Chen Pingan for a walk, and Chen Pingan was quite satisfied with the new office space. This whole floor of space gave him a lot more freedom.

In addition, as the chief official of this place, no one can disturb him unless he wants to.

After introducing them all the way, when they arrived at Chen Ping'an's public housing, there were not many people who were still qualified to accompany him. They were basically high-ranking officials in the Bei Cang Zhenfu Division.

Like the chief officer of the Protection Office, Liu Gongxi, the chief officer of the Inspection Office, Ma Yuanbang, and the chief officer of the Inspection Office, including Xue Kunsheng, there are no more than ten people in total.

Chen Pingan looked around and didn't have any other opinions. Xue Kunsheng's overall performance was very cooperative, and there was nothing he needed to criticize. In addition, he was still thinking about something, so he prepared to let everyone leave first.

Xue Kunsheng understood what he meant after observing his words and expressions.

"Sir, there are still some details for the welcoming banquet tonight that I need to finalize. If you have no other instructions, I and others will withdraw first."

"Well, go down." Chen Pingan waved his hand and said lightly.

I have to say that Xue Kunsheng is really smart.

After taking up his post today, he felt that it was much better than the experience in the South City Prison. That damn Chu Qirong was so ignorant that he turned him down.

Regardless of whether it was false or pretentious, Xue Kunsheng's cooperation was good and saved him a lot of trouble.

Xue Kunsheng did cooperate, but I don't know what the other people in this important town think! ?
Chen Ping'an's expression was calm, and the depths of his eyes were like the depths of an ancient well, without any ripples.

I hope everyone can understand the big picture and be a wise person who believes that harmony brings wealth. Otherwise, it would not be a comfortable thing to kill people as soon as you arrive. Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but it also delays his cultivation time. This kind of scene is not what he wants to see.

"Sir, we have checked everything and there is no problem." Xiong Sanrang walked into the door and bowed.

Just after Xue Kunsheng and others left, he took a few trusted men and checked the surroundings comprehensively.

"Yeah, thank you for your hard work." Chen Pingan nodded slightly.

"Sir, you are too kind to me. It is my blessing to serve you." Xiong Sanrang dared not to.

The master can express his gratitude for his kindness, but as his subordinate, he cannot take it for granted.

"Tell Guan Dongxiang to stay in the yard after he is settled and not to go anywhere." Chen Pingan ordered.

When Xue Kunsheng was taking Chen Pingan to get familiar with the Bei Cang Zhenfu Division, he mentioned that he had arranged a house for the adults. Chen Pingan asked Guan Dongxiang to take people to confirm it first.

Guan Dongxiang is not a member of the Beicang Pacification Office, but is considered his personal force. It is reasonable to let him go there and settle down first.

If there are any arrangements later, Chen Pingan will directly inform Guan Dongxiang and let him handle it. However, most of the time, Guan Dongxiang, a master of the Dragon and Tiger List, should not be used.

For most forces in the important town of Beicang, the deterrent effect of the northern swordsman Guan Dongxiang is far greater than his practical significance.

The existence of a master on the Dragon and Tiger List means that his strength surpasses that of representatives of most forces.

Xiong Sanrang nodded in agreement to Chen Ping'an's instructions. After saying goodbye to Chen Ping'an, he left.

He was also a newcomer, and if he wanted to integrate into the Beicang Pacification Office as quickly as possible, there was a lot for him to do.

It was still early for the dinner, so Chen Pingan looked around and sat down behind the long table. On the heavy long table, the four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper and inkstone were all available. Chen Pingan spread out a piece of rice paper, picked up the pen and began to write.

He had just taken up his new post in Beicang, and took the opportunity to write another letter to Arya to let her know that he was safe.

"Sir, everything has been arranged." Liu Gongxi looked respectful, walked in front of Xue Kunsheng with his hands clasped, and reported in a low voice.

"Be more careful and don't make any mistakes." Xue Kunsheng put down the wolf hair brush in his hand and said with a stern face.

"Don't worry, sir. I understand. I have discussed the details of the dinner with my subordinates repeatedly. There will be no problem."

"That's good." Xue Kunsheng nodded slightly.

Seeing Xue Kunsheng so cautious, Liu Gongxi's face hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xue Kunsheng glanced at him and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There's no need to be hesitant."

"Yes, sir." Liu Gongxi first bowed, and then expressed his thoughts.

According to his idea, Xue Kunsheng should have given the newly appointed deputy garrison commander Chen Pingan a warning. Why now, instead of giving a warning, he actively cooperated and did his best. Not only did he introduce all the institutions and personnel in the Beicang Pacification Division in great detail, but he also arranged accommodation for them. "Gongxi, in your opinion, how should this be handled?" Xue Kunsheng asked after listening to Liu Gongxi's doubts quietly.

"Sir, in my opinion, there is no need to worry so much about the previous matters. It won't hurt to tinker with some details." Liu Gongxi obviously had already made up his mind and said without thinking.

Xue Kunsheng glanced at Liu Gongxi and continued to ask: "What happens after doing this?"

Ok?
Liu Gongxi was slightly stunned, but then continued the conversation.

"Then we will look for an opportunity to weaken his prestige. My Lord, you can slowly plan and take advantage of the general trend to make it difficult for him to gain a foothold!"

"Plan slowly?" Xue Kunsheng smiled. "If that's the case, then why bother doing this? It's pointless to do these insignificant things, and it will only alert the snake!"

Liu Gongxi was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a while. After a few breaths, he said, "Your Excellency is wise."

"Chen Ping'an" Xue Kunsheng curled his lips into a sneer.

Although the two had never met before, their first confrontation did end with him being completely defeated. Chen Pingan was not only talented and powerful, but also had unfathomable scheming. He was completely different from what he had imagined before. After realizing this, he decisively changed his strategy, first figuring out the opponent's tricks and then taking his time.

As long as the base is still there, he is not afraid of not having opportunities later. Of the five major offices of the Beicang Zhenfu Division, three of them are run by his people.

Of the remaining two offices, Yu Jinjue of the Inspection Office is a veteran master who is stationed in the important town of Long'an and a disciple of the Flame Divine Sword. He will never take sides. Ma Yuanbang, the chief officer of the remaining Patrol Office, is a rough man who rose from humble beginnings. What he hates most in his life is the tender and delicate sons of noble families.

Strictly speaking, although Chen Pingan is not a son of an aristocratic family, he has the background of the Gu family. In the eyes of people like Ma Yuanbang, he is a genuine son of an aristocratic family. And his fair and clean appearance, with delicate skin and tender flesh, can not overwhelm such rough people like them.

It's true that you, Chen Ping'an, are powerful, but I just won't accept it.

Although he had never communicated with Ma Yuanbang, he could roughly guess what Ma Yuanbang was thinking. As a person who relied on his family background to rise to power, Ma Yuanbang was naturally malicious. Although he would not do anything excessive due to his status, it was impossible to convince him.

Of the five major government offices, three were his people, one would not stand in line, and one naturally had a bad feeling. In this situation, although the other party had a righteous position, as long as he could keep calm and look for a good opportunity, he might not have no chance.

In addition, the most important thing is that although the strength of this Mang Dao Chen Pingan is strong, he is not bad either. Especially recently, he has learned from his mistakes and has gained great enlightenment, and the power of the Vajra Demon Subduing Chain has become more evident. Although he still cannot defeat Mang Dao Chen Pingan, he is confident that he can fight against him for a hundred moves without being defeated.

“Wait until the family is free and sends reinforcements, that’s when we can really launch the attack. What we’ve done before is just minor fights!” Xue Kunsheng’s eyes were deep and his heart was as clear as a mirror.

For some things, the battle is here, but the real battlefield of the game is not here.

An important town in Beicang, the headquarters of the Gu family.

“Although I already knew that this Mang Dao Chen Ping’an was not very old, but when I actually met him today and saw his appearance, I was still shocked by him!”

Gu Hongxiu sat on a carved armchair, her fiery red skirt falling naturally and gracefully, revealing a pair of embroidered red shoes.

"So you have been acting like a worthless person from the beginning to the end?" A man in linen clothes stood in the shadows not far from Gu Hongxiu. The man had an ordinary face, but his eyes were faintly shining.

"Are you jealous?" Gu Hongxiu said with a smile. Her legs were crossed, and her skirt swayed, brushing against the smooth ground, which was very charming.

"Don't give me that!" The man, who had a black-patterned spear on his back, said coldly. "Now let's talk about serious matters."

If an ordinary person had spoken to her like this, Gu Hongxiu would have been angry, but she found the words of the man in front of her interesting. She stared at the man's ear for a while, then said slowly: "I really want to pay him back, but he doesn't like me. I'm not as good as I used to be. I'm old and ugly now."

The man's expression moved slightly, almost imperceptibly, but all of this fell into Gu Hongxiu's eyes. Seeing this, the smile in her eyes became even more intense.

"It's really sad. The new governor is not interested in me at all. If that's the case..." A hint of mischief appeared in Gu Hongxiu's eyes.

"What do you want to do?" The man in linen shirt seemed a little anxious.

"It's a rare opportunity to meet such a peerless genius. Do you think I will give up so easily?" Gu Hongxiu continued with a sweet smile.

"Don't mess around! Although Mang Dao Chen Ping'an is young, his strength should not be underestimated." The man's expression became more and more anxious. After he finished speaking, a long time passed without any response from Gu Hongxiu. He looked at her intently and saw the half-smile on her face. He immediately realized that she was just teasing him. He was a little angry and turned his head away from Gu Hongxiu.

Gu Hongxiu raised the corner of her mouth slightly, looked at the man for a long time, and then said: "He is not interested in me, I wonder if he will be interested in my Gu family's little pearl!?"

"You want to arrange a marriage?" The man in the hemp shirt turned his head and looked at her. "Chen Ping'an, the Rough Blade, is extremely talented. The marriage of the Gu family's daughter is basically a done deal. How could he possibly agree to it!?"

Gu Hongxiu gently stroked her hair, put it behind her ears, and smiled without saying a word.

An important town in Beicang, the residence of the Zhu family.

"This new deputy commander speaks softly and behaves politely. He is much easier to get along with than I thought." Zhu Jiuhuan leaned over and fiddled with a pile of colorful jade sticks on the table, as if he was playing some game.

On the other side of the long table sat a thin man with a cup of tea in his hand.

"Don't be fooled by him! None of the deeds of Chen Ping'an, the Rough Blade, show that he is an easy person to get along with!"

Zhu Jiuhuan said nonchalantly without even looking up, "Of course I know. But Mang Dao is a smart man. We businessmen like dealing with smart people the most. As long as the price is right, smart people can talk about anything. Everything can be negotiated. Smart people will not do things that hurt both sides. Among the several families, my Zhu family has the strongest financial resources. It is not necessarily a bad thing for us for Chen Pingan to take over Northern Cang."

"Zhu Jiuhuan said as he fiddled with the jade sticks on the table. Suddenly, he shouted excitedly.

"Success!"

He picked out a purple jade stick with great precision from among the many jade sticks on the table. The jade stick was crystal clear and radiant, just like his bright future.

An important town in Beicang, the headquarters of the Shadowless Blade Sect.

"There will be no compromise on the smuggling on the trade routes, the withdrawal of water by patrols, and the interests of my Shadowless Sword Sect." Yan Sheng sat on a big chair, carefully wiping the long sword in his hand with cloud brocade.

"I hope this Mang Dao is not a fool and does stupid things. Otherwise..."

"Don't be careless. The one who can make the Northern Swordsman bow down is not an ordinary person." In front of Yan Sheng stood a red-robed swordsman, looking somewhat festive.

"The Northern Swordsman is only at the bottom of the Dragon and Tiger List. If I fight him, he will definitely die within three moves!" Yan Sheng stated the fact calmly, with the pride of a swordsman hidden between his brows.

"Anyway, he's new here, so we should not make enemies with him easily."

"Let's see his attitude tonight. As long as he doesn't do anything stupid, I won't bother with him. We give him face, he gives us substance, we cooperate with each other, and understand each other tacitly." Yan Sheng's eyes were deep, with a hint of sharpness. He lowered his head and looked at the long sword in his hand, which was shining with cold light and sharp.

Chen Pingan: As long as you don't do stupid things, it will be good for you, me and everyone, and the ending will be happy. But if you don't know what's good for you, then you may not be able to sit firmly in the position of deputy governor of Beicang. (End of this chapter)
