The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 537: Heaven's Might is Unpredictable, Qianlong Update (asking for monthly votes~)

For the next two days, Chen Pingan devoted himself to practicing.

During these two days, no one came to disturb him!

According to his previous idea, he thought that the Xue and Wang families would send someone over.

Especially the Xue family. According to their previous schemes, they should at least send Fairy Yunmeng or something to add fuel to the fire!

But he never expected that he guessed wrong.

It seems that his breakthrough to the Grandmaster realm has had a great impact on the Xue family!
The twenty-four-year-old Yuheng Grandmaster had indeed had a profound impact on the Xue family!

If it were just that, it would be fine, but Chen Pingan also has a record of killing the senior master, the blood bat Wei Yiqi.

With the fighting power he has shown now, even Xue Shijing, a senior elder of the Xue family, would not dare to say that he is definitely his opponent!
At the age of 24, having reached such a high position, the Xue family really had no confidence to play this calculation before they had the determination to really offend him.

The premise of all this is that they believe Chen Pingan is unaware of Xue Zirou's loss of virginity and the assassination by Xue Shishun.

Apart from the Xue family, there was no movement from the Shadowless Blade Sect either. It was not known whether they were really silent or just appeared to be silent on the surface.

Now that he has been promoted to the governor of Beicang, his power in Beicang has been established. Whether in terms of strength or prestige, no one in Beicang can shake him.

With him in charge of Beicang, it is basically impossible for the Shadowless Blade Sect to restore its interests in Beicang!

In addition, regardless of the death of Tan Tai Jin Feng or the harsh words of the swordsman from the Shadowless Blade Sect, it is basically impossible to ease the relationship between the two!

Unless the Shadowless Blade Sect is willing to bow down and submit to Chen Ping'an and give up many interests, otherwise, there is no possibility of change.

But it's like this.
Is it possible!?
The Shadowless Blade Sect is the top force in Canglong Province, and there is more than one grandmaster in the sect!

Although Chen Ping'an is so powerful, it is obviously impossible for him to make the Shadowless Blade Sect surrender without a fight!
As for what means will be used behind the scenes, that depends on the Shadowless Blade Sect themselves!

Whether it was a dispute over interests or a life-and-death battle, it was in line with the moral rules that everyone knew. But if the Shadowless Blade Sect used some unpresentable means, it would be a violation of morality first, and Chen Pingan would not be too much to retaliate. It was completely in line with the power struggle within the state!

In order to prevent the Shadowless Blade Sect from resorting to any despicable means, Chen Pingan asked the Gu family to take good care of his sister. All aspects of protection and vigilance should be taken to a higher level.

According to the Gu family's original idea, they wanted to take the little girl to the Gu family's clan school. However, Chen Pingan thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate. Considering the little girl's own situation, he decided to keep her in Canglong Academy.

Canglong Academy is located in the inner city of Canglong, close to the core urban area. With the Gu family's high-level care and protection, safety can be basically guaranteed.

As long as there is no problem with his sister, he is not afraid of any means used by the Shadowless Blade Sect.

In fact, if the Shadowless Blade Sect had not been passed down for many years, the relationships between the various parties were intertwined, the interests were extremely complicated, and there were several great masters in charge. Chen Pingan wanted to destroy it once and for all, saving so much trouble!

But unfortunately, although he is strong now, he is still far from being able to destroy the sect by himself! Maybe he can kill some of the top leaders, but it is undoubtedly a fantasy to kill all the middle and lower levels without leaving any one behind.

Chen Pingan would not do this unless he was absolutely sure that he could suppress the massacre!

However, if he were to rely on the power of the State Pacification Office, with his current status as a candidate for the office, even with the reputation of a genius, he would still be far from enough.

After all, the Shadowless Blade Sect has been in charge for so many years, and it is really not made of clay! It has its own portals and channels!
In order to truly achieve this, he might not even be promoted to the position of deputy director. At least he needs to be at the level of deputy director with real power.

And for this, the Shadowless Blade Sect would need to be stupid enough to give him a chance to take action!

Otherwise, if we act rashly without any justification, not only will there be internal disagreements, it will also easily lead to unrest in the state and accountability from the dynasty!
All in all, plots like those in biographical novels, where entire families are massacred or enemy sects are destroyed, are not that easy to accomplish.

Except for the last dynasty, when various parties are divided, there may be a chance to do it, but for the general trend of the dynasty, what matters is evidence!

Of course, if one has absolute strength, this evidence can be appropriately modified and optimized.

But in most cases, forces with absolute strength will not do such things unless they have no other choice.

The reason is simple: the impact is too huge!

Between countries and between forces, the one with the bigger fist does not necessarily get to do whatever it wants.

As long as there are rules, we must act according to certain principles and take the impact into consideration. Otherwise, in the long run, the rules will backfire, which is not conducive to the long-term stability of the forces and long-term peace and security!

Every time one acts recklessly and arbitrarily, what is consumed is the fortune and reputation of the force!

As long as the power wants to be stable, wants to develop over the long term, and gather people's hearts and fortune, this move is indispensable!

Even those evil demons cannot ignore this truth!

It’s just that the logic of their rules is somewhat different from the development of normal forces!
The Shadowless Blade Sect is a threat. Chen Pingan himself is not afraid of it, but he is somewhat worried about Erya.

"The academy!" Chen Pingan's eyes narrowed: "If there is a chance, I still have to send the little girl to the academy!"

As long as the little girl goes to the academy, her safety will be guaranteed.

The two great palaces are extremely famous. It will be absolutely safe for the little girl to go there!

The dynasty spent countless efforts, and one of the things it did was to select talents from all over the world and try to get them all. The intention was to gather the strength of talents from all over the world and continue the fortune of Daqian!
This is the national policy of Daqian. Anyone who causes chaos in the academy is openly defying the dynasty!
For minor quarrels on a daily basis, due to limited energy, the dynasty could turn a blind eye and as long as they were not excessive, they would just let it go.

But if we talk about Daqian's national policy and touch upon the dynasty's taboos, which force in the world has such courage! ?

Even a powerful government like the Bi Cang County Prince's Mansion could only pretend to be friendly and quietly erode some of its interests, but when it came to open confrontation...
Who dares!?
Although the dynasty is not as prosperous as it used to be, the dragon's might is still there. Who dares to act recklessly under such circumstances?

All under heaven belongs to the king! All the people in the land are the king's subjects!
The trend of the dynasty is like the mighty power of heaven!
The power of heaven is unpredictable, who is willing to put himself in the shoes of others? ?
As powerful as the Purple-Eyed Demon King was back then, he still fell under the terrifying might of heaven when he touched the bottom line of the dynasty!

Even the peerless demon owl is like this, let alone ordinary people! ?
Chen Pingan was also concerned about the academy. However, it was still early, and the next recommendation assessment would take more than a year.

In terms of time, it should be after the little girl's coming-of-age ceremony!

Speaking of the coming-of-age ceremony, Chen Pingan somehow thought of Princess Bi Cang.

The coming-of-age ceremony of little Princess Bi Cang was a grand event in all the states. Powers from all sides gathered and masters from all walks of life paid a visit, all for the purpose of celebrating for a little girl who had just turned fifteen.

The gifts and treasures given to each other by all parties are endless, and any one of them is something that ordinary people can hardly obtain in their lifetime.

The coming-of-age ceremony for Princess Bi Cang was like this, I wonder what the coming-of-age ceremony for the little girl would be like! ?

Chen Pingan thought secretly in his heart!

There are still a few months left for the little girl to reach marriage age, and the details of her life will depend on her as her brother!
If he, as an elder brother, can become famous throughout the world and have unparalleled power, then as a younger sister, he will naturally be proud of it and be respected and even feared by all parties!

If he, as a brother, is lost in the crowd, and if his sister has no other abilities, she will also be buried in the dust!
Fortunately, his abilities are not bad, and the little girl's talent in literature is also worth looking forward to!

"When we get to Northern Cang, we'll try to accumulate more Yuanjing. If the little girl really cultivates the Way of Literature, she'll have a lot to bear."

Although it sounded like pressure, Chen Pingan showed a smile on his face.

Chen Pingan practiced for two days, and soon it was time for the little girl to take a break in the school.

As previously agreed, Chen Pingan took the little girl on a tour around Canglongzhou City.

It's not entirely true that he brought her along. Before going shopping, Shaoyao had already done her homework.

It was mainly Shaoyao who provided the location, and the decision was made by the brother and sister.

I went out early in the morning and stayed until late at night, and visited many places.

It is worth mentioning that when Chen Pingan was strolling with the little girl, he also met an acquaintance, Mu Chenjie, the pride of the Mu family.

Mu Chenjie hasn't been in a very good mood these days!
Although it has been a long time since the news of the marriage between Fairy Qingcheng and Mang Dao came out, he still hasn't quite recovered from the mood.

The figure that had always lingered in his mind finally got engaged to someone else.

If it was someone else, it would be fine, but that person was a reckless person.
A reckless sword, this is a reckless sword!
A true genius and the greatest genius in Canglong State in the past two thousand years!

At the age of only 24, he had already reached the level of Grandmaster, leaving the young people of his generation far behind. Even most of the older generation were no match for him!
Logically speaking, he wouldn't even have the courage to be jealous or fight against such a peerless person.

but
At the Hundred Flowers Banquet at Misty Rain Ferry, the incident between Mang Dao Chen Ping'an and Fairy Yunmeng made him feel as if Fairy Qingcheng was defiled by Mang Dao.

This feeling made it difficult for him to calm down for a long time.

It's not just jealousy, but the white moonlight that I have cherished for a long time, regarded as a dream, and dared not tell others, has been easily and casually defiled by others!
This feeling is so painful! It's like dying!

After spending several days, although Mu Chenjie has not yet come out of his low mood, he has somewhat recovered his spirits. He is finally ready to deal with some matters in the treasure pavilion to distract his attention.

But he never expected that he would run into Chen Pingan, who had come into the city with him!
When they parted, he was in a good mood, thinking that his cabbages were saved.

but now
"It's been several months, how come we still meet here!?"

Seeing Chen Pingan, Mu Chenjie's already terrible mood became even worse.

"Brother Mu!" Chen Pingan didn't expect to meet Mu Chenjie here.

Canglongzhou City covers a large area, it is not a small rural city. Generally speaking, it is not easy for two people to see a city district under the jurisdiction of the outer city. Not to mention the entire Canglongzhou City!

It was really a coincidence that we met today.

Chen Pingan was in a good mood when he saw an old friend, and he greeted him immediately.

However, Mu Chenjie's face didn't look very good, especially when he saw the little girl and Shaoyao beside him, his face became even uglier.

I went to Canglongzhou City alone at first, but now I have two little girls by my side!

"Okay! I'm here specifically to trick little girls!"

Mu Chenjie already had a big prejudice against Chen Pingan because of what happened to his sister. Now seeing this scene again, needless to say, Mu Chenjie had already imagined everything in his mind.

If he hadn't kept a closer eye on her, his silly sister would have probably been deceived!

Mu Chenjie glanced at Chen Pingan with a very unhappy expression and ignored him.

When they parted, he was still willing to maintain the superficial relationship, but now, he doesn't even want to pretend.

In fact, if he wasn't in a bad mood at the moment, he would probably have wanted to scold the other person.

You're such a grown-up, but still useless!
Not only does he not work hard in his practice, he also enjoys deceiving little sisters!
Wouldn’t your conscience hurt if you did this?

"Brother Chen?"

Chen Pingan just felt a little puzzled, but thinking of the friendship they had in the past, he greeted him again.

He traveled all the way to Canglongzhou City with the help of the Mu family caravan. This was a favor and he should remember it.

Seeing Chen Pingan calling out again, Mu Chenjie frowned. Although he felt extremely uncomfortable, he finally agreed.

Seeing that Mu Chenjie had some grudges in his heart, Chen Pingan didn't say much. He smiled and gestured, then left directly.

The little girl and Shaoyao on the side followed quickly, one on the left and one on the right.

Mu Chenjie was furious when he saw this scene.

If you lie to young girls every day, I bet you won’t be able to get married in the future!

Mu Chenjie's mood was only disturbed for a moment, and soon he was immersed in his own world of sadness and grief.

"Allure"

The resentful sword had tarnished his beauty. Although he had no right to do so, this did not stop him from feeling heartbroken!
Mang Dao was amazing, and he thought he was far inferior to him!
But no matter how stunning it is, it cannot tarnish the beauty like this!

Before meeting Qingcheng, he had had a romantic encounter with Yunmeng. By doing this, he really took Qingcheng seriously!

Do you have Qingcheng, your wife-to-be, in your mind?

"Rough knife!"

Mu Chenjie roared silently, heartbroken!

Happy times always pass quickly. After having a good time with the little girl, it was finally time for Chen Pingan to leave Canglongzhou City.

Unlike when he came, this time he left with a large force.

When Wang Lingzhi was entrusted with an important mission and went to Beicang, the farewell ceremony he received was not even one-third of his.

When Chen Ping'an left the provincial capital this time, he was not only seen off by his colleagues from the Provincial Pacification Office, but also by middle and senior management from the Inner Town Pacification Office and the Outer Town Pacification Office.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you give it or not, what matters most is the attitude and meaning.

Mang Dao has unparalleled talent, and it is a foregone conclusion that he will become a giant in Chengzhou Zhenfusi. Given time, he may become a giant in Canglongzhou. Who wouldn't want to make friends with such a person! ?

In addition to colleagues from the Pacification Office, several people from the Gu family were also present to see him off.

Gu Haoqing was a person who had to take on both roles at this time. Looking at Chen Pingan who was about to get on the frame, he was filled with emotion.

When he first heard about Chen Pingan, Chen Pingan had just made it onto the rookie list! He hadn't even entered the Xuanguang realm yet!

But now, it has only been a short time and Chen Pingan has grown to such a height!
He has been left behind so far.

Needless to say, Gu Haoqing felt deeply moved. His colleagues in other states' pacification offices, such as Lu Yuanzai, Zhong Zeyu and others, felt much the same.

Feng Wuhen was not seen among the people who came to see him off. It was only after hearing people talking about him that I learned that Feng Wuhen had been transferred to Leiming City.

Chen Ping'an had previously exchanged farewells, and this time it was just a casual greeting.

"Everyone, we will meet again in the mountains and rivers, take care of yourselves!"

Chen Ping'an bowed and climbed onto the frame.

The carriage frame is the latest one equipped by the Provincial Pacification Bureau, the standard carriage frame for the candidate for the chief officer. It is half the size of the carriage that Chen Pingan used in Beicang. It is decorated with black jade patterns and looks majestic!
"Farewell, Master Chen!"

Everyone bowed and bid farewell to him loudly.

The carriage drove out of the state city, which naturally caused quite a stir. Even in Canglong State City, the big boss of the State Pacification Office was no small figure.

As the frame was running, it naturally caused a lot of heated discussion.

"Mysterious Jade Ornament? Whose frame is this!?"

"I do not know!"

"Looking at the direction, it seems to be heading out of the city! Do you think it could be..."

"you are right."

Everyone looked at the frame with awe and solemnity in their eyes.

Beicang is guarded by the Mang Dao Chen Pingan!
In the outer city of Canglong, an old man with gray hair and wearing long-sleeved blue clothes was driving a horse-drawn carriage. He showed his two big buck teeth and talked about the gossip of the state capital with a smile.

The passenger he was carrying this time was going out of town and the distance was quite far, so his profit for a single trip was very high.

Thinking of the money he could earn from this trip, Old Man Ge drove the cart with even more enthusiasm.

Just then, a guest in the carriage asked about the misty courtesan Yunmeng Fairy, and he began to talk about it with great interest.

"My dear guest, you don't know that since the Hundred Flowers Banquet that day, Fairy Yunmeng has stopped receiving guests! Don't get me wrong, it's not that kind of reception, it's a proper elegant music recital!"

The rich guest in the carriage was short and fat, dressed in official clothes, and it was obvious that he was of good wealth.

However, there is a control on carriages in Canglongzhou City, so just having money is not enough.

Hearing what Old Man Ge said, he couldn't help but show curiosity and asked, "Not receiving guests? What are you doing there?"

"I heard that Fairy Yunmeng redeemed herself! She bought an elegant house in the inner city or somewhere else, and she plays the zither and enjoys herself every day. She has no longer been involved in worldly affairs!"

"Not being involved in worldly affairs? That's not that easy! Fairy Yunmeng has been the Fairy of Flowers for several consecutive terms. Her fame is well-known and famous. Even if she redeems herself, there will be many patrons who will come to her door!

Without the protection of Misty Rain Boat, how can a weak woman like her maintain her innocence? "The noble guest in the carriage looked puzzled, "Besides, this Misty Rain Boat is not doing charity. Fairy Yunmeng is very famous, and it is no exaggeration to say that she makes a fortune every day, so why would they agree to redeem her?"

"I just heard it from others, so I don't need to be sure."

Old man Ge smiled innocently.

Fairy Yunmeng was so famous that everyone who came and went would mention her more or less. Whether it was someone asking him about her or someone talking to him internally, he had heard a lot of news about her.

What he just said was what he heard from the conversation between the two young gentlemen.

"Redeem yourself? Come to think of it, could this matter be related to Mang Dao?" The guest in the carriage looked thoughtful.

"I can't say for sure about the people above me." Old man Ge smiled and answered. The rich man thought for a while and then stopped thinking.

Although he had a little power in his own small piece of land, he was nothing in the city of Canglongzhou.

Let alone Mang Dao, even Fairy Yunmeng was something that was out of reach for him.

It's fine to discuss it on a daily basis, but if you think too deeply about the entanglements involved, it will only make you bored.

At his level, he might have heard about some of the hot topics in the provincial capital, but he might not know all the really high-level news.

As for the story between Mang Dao and Fairy Yunmeng, what he really knew was the widely-circulated story that they had a love affair. The famous Fairy Yunmeng was finally won over by Mang Dao Chen Pingan!

As for the impact of this matter on the Gu family's marriage disputes and the Xue family's secret game, he naturally would not know about it.

The two chatted along the way, and Old Man Ge could tell them a little about any gossip that the wealthy guests were interested in.

I don’t know if it’s accurate, but the emotional value is sufficient.

Old Man Ge specializes in driving a cart. After so many years, he has naturally figured out the tricks.

Sometimes the job of driving a coach is not just about taking the passengers to their destination, the experience during the process is also very important.

The two chatted all the way, and when they approached the city gate, there was some movement around them, and it was quite a big scene!
"What's going on?" the wealthy guest in the carriage asked curiously.

Old Man Ge looked up and saw that the central city gate in the distance, which was so tall that it was beyond imagination, was actually open at this moment.

Old man Ge couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise.

The central gate of the state capital is not always open. Normal people, whether entering or leaving the city, go through either the left or right gate.

The opening of the central city gate meant only one thing, that an important person was about to travel.

"The central city gate is open?" The rich guest obviously saw it as well and couldn't help but asked in surprise.

The two of them looked closely and saw a tall and wide carriage heading out of the city gate. The elite guards around the city lined up to see it off with solemn expressions.

"This is the real big shot! The others are just bullshit!" The wealthy guest showed envy on his face and was full of admiration in his heart.

They just talked about some people, all of whom were well-known figures from various places, but compared with the scene before them, they were obviously nothing.

Old Man Ge didn't think as much as the rich man, but he was undoubtedly a little more reserved than before.

The destination of the high-ranking passenger was the city gate, but because of the frame and the surrounding order control, the already dense flow of people seemed even denser. Although it was not to the point of stagnation, the speed was undoubtedly reduced a lot.

There was a lot of discussion around and the mood was quite excited.

Because of the distance, a lot of discussions reached the ears of Old Man Ge.

"Beicang Guard?"

Old Man Ge was stunned. Amid the discussions, he also figured out the identity of the owner of the frame.

It is none other than Chen Pingan, the rough swordsman who has become famous recently and renowned in the city!
At the feast of flowers, it was this man who knocked down the genius of Xue family with one palm and had a romantic encounter with Fairy Yunmeng!
Many people around stretched their necks and looked hard, wanting to see the style of Mang Dao.

At this time and in this place, Mang Dao Chen Pingan is not only the spokesperson of the younger generation, but also a man of the hour who can dominate the Canglong State!

The style of the rough sword is such that even the strongest warriors of the older generation have to show some respect.

How lucky you would be if you could meet such a genius!

Some people stood on tiptoe, some stretched their necks, and some climbed to a higher place.
But unfortunately, no one could see the elegance of Beicang's guarding Mang Dao.

Not only the passers-by along the way, but also many people, including the guards at the city gate, were curious and looked longing.

But in comparison, the guards at the city gate were more covert.

The carriage moved slowly, and just when everyone thought that they would not see Mang Dao today, a man walked out of the carriage. He had a handsome face and was dressed in a long robe with black patterns. He was very elegant.

"Mang Dao, it's Man Dao!"

"Why are you rushing with a knife? That's Master Chen!"

"Master of the town!"

The crowd was immediately excited.

"Uncle Ge, I will always remember the kindness you gave me. I would like to offer you a silver ingot as a token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it!"

The sound came in a line, passing through the crowd and reaching Old Man Ge's ears with incredible clarity.

next moment.

A snow-white ingot of silver fell accurately into the hands of Old Man Ge.

Old Man Ge looked dazed and stood there in a daze.

"Rampant sword?"

Many thoughts come to mind, and everything seems like a dream.

Inside the carriage, the hero's body shook violently, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Several people nearby opened their mouths slightly and muttered something they didn't know what to say.

All eyes were focused on him, causing a sensation.

Envy, admiration, jealousy
Many emotions intertwined and merged into one.

This old man is so lucky!
The noise around him had nothing to do with Chen Pingan.

The carriage started slowly and drove out of the central city gate under the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd.

When he came here, he met the old man, and they had a lot of interesting conversations along the way, and he learned a lot of current affairs. Now when he was leaving, he happened to meet the old man again.

This coming and going is exactly what destiny meant!

All causes and effects are predestined!
Before this, at the Yanyu Ferry, Old Man Ge gave him a piece of cake. Although it was of no use to him, his kindness was as sweet as spring water, nourishing his heart.

This is just like old Chen back then!
Since you have received a gift, you must repay it!
Given Old Man Ge's situation, if he gave too much, he would be targeted by others and might not be able to protect himself.

This ingot of silver is not much!

But for Old Man Ge, it was just right!

Furthermore, what he gave in public seemed to be silver, but what he gave was more than just silver.

What he gave was an attitude, a friendly attitude.

With his current status and attitude, no one in Canglongzhou City will make things difficult for Old Man Ge.

As long as Old Man Ge behaves himself, he can live a peaceful life.

The specially made carriage with black jade patterns of the Provincial Pacification Office slowly drove away from the Canglong Provincial City. Many elite guards at the central gate and the gates on the left and right sides of the provincial city stood straight, performed etiquette and saw it off with solemn expressions and awe.

Not until the carriage went far away and disappeared from everyone's sight did the guards resume their normal standing posture at the order of their superiors.

"Old Qin, Old Qin!"

At the right gate of the provincial city, a dark-complexioned man in armor, with a nervous look on his face, was hurriedly shouting to the man beside him.

"Old Wang, what's wrong?" The man surnamed Qin also had a dark complexion and a thick beard on his face.

"Did you see Lord Chen come out just now?" the armored man asked anxiously.

"I saw it." The man surnamed Qin said with a smile: "Ask everyone, who didn't see it?"

"Do you feel that Lord Chen looks familiar, as if you have seen him somewhere?" As he spoke, the armored man stared at the other person blankly.

"Now that you mention it." The man surnamed Qin looked thoughtful and said uncertainly, "It seems a little bit."

"Is that so?" The armored man showed a trace of panic on his face: "Old Qin, do you remember a few months ago, a young man came and I interrogated him a few more times."

"It's been so long, who would still remember it?" The man surnamed Qin smiled indifferently.

The armored man became anxious.

"Old Wang, you even helped out by saying a few words at that time."

Seeing that the man surnamed Qin hadn't remembered yet, he quickly added, "He came with the Mu family caravan. Young Master Mu was there too!"

"Now that you mention it." The man surnamed Qin was startled, as if he remembered something: "It seems to be the case."

"I tell you, he is Mang Dao, Lord Chen!" The armored man was so anxious that he was about to cry.

"What?" The man surnamed Qin was surprised.

At the right gate of Canglongzhou City, not far away from the two of them, stood a middle-aged man with a resolute face.

The man was wearing a dark cloak and had a pair of piercing tiger eyes.

As the highest commander of the right gate of the state city, he had his own power just standing here. But at this moment, his face was full of solemnity, and his tiger eyes still had a faint sense of shock as he looked at the frame that had disappeared into the horizon in the distance.

"Rough Knife"

He had met Mang Dao once at the city gate in the past.

But at the beginning, he regarded the other party as an insignificant passerby. After just one glance, he withdrew his gaze, careless and unconcerned!

But who would have thought.
The famous governor of Beicang, Lord Chen Ping'an, the Mang Dao, was so low-key. He entered the Canglongzhou city alone without any fanfare!

"If I had been more careful at the beginning." The man's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of regret emerged: "I recognized the knife, I'm afraid now..."

The man sighed and looked away unwillingly.

If he could take advantage of the situation and get some help from Mang Dao, with Mang Dao's current power, even the slightest help would be enough for him to move up.
Although the job at the right city gate is good, it is not as good as patrolling and arresting!
What a pity, missed the opportunity!

Xue Zirou was wearing a plain long dress, with her purple hair simply tied up with a jade hairpin. A few strands of hair casually fell around her fair neck, making her look even more dazzling.

She stood in front of the carved wooden window, gazing into the distance, with a hint of melancholy in her clear eyes.

"Chen Ping'an"

Chen Pingan sat in the carriage and looked back at Canglongzhou City through the window. The towering city walls were like giant beasts, looking even more majestic and powerful.

He traveled all the way from the important town of Bei Cang to Canglong Prefecture City in order to resolve the matter of Qi Guangshan, the special envoy of Canglong, as well as the matter of marriage with the Gu family, and more importantly, to resolve his cultivation method and the divine weapon to protect the way.

He was in the state capital, attended a small meeting, bought a magic weapon, won a magic skill, made a marriage contract, broke through the realm of the Grandmaster, and was promoted to the garrison commander.
After four months, many matters were successfully completed!

He broke through the realm of Grandmaster and was promoted to the candidate for Chief, showing his supreme talent, which also meant that his official status truly entered the ranks of the state's top leaders!

The circles you can contact and the horizons you can see will be wider than before.

It is not just confined to Canglong Province, but also involves and hears about things in the surrounding provinces.

This is a state giant!

just
The words of the state giants only sound impressive!

In a town or a county, he has absolute power. But looking at the state, it is more of a facade than substance!
Able to participate in state resolutions and make suggestions, but without real decision-making power.

The real decision-making lies in the overall situation of the state, in the undercurrents behind the scenes, and in the game of interests, and is not decided by him alone!
He was able to learn about many matters at the first time, but he did not have enough energy to influence the decision.

Although these giants are giants, they only have the right to consult, but not the power to make decisions!

Such a giant only sounds good.

He can be considered a high-level official in the state, but he is still a long way from being the top level that can truly influence the fate of the state.

Participating in decision-making is only the threshold to entering the top ranks of Canglong State.

Only those who can truly influence decision-making are the top giants with substantive significance!

There are probably not many such top giants even in the entire provincial pacification department!

The provincial pacification department, provincial Qiankun department, the three great Canglong families, and the spokespersons for the interests of the top forces.
So many forces and so many characters come together to build a complete top-level structure in Canglong State.

Although Chen Ping'an's power is quite impressive now, it is more due to his potential. In terms of real power, he is far inferior to these real top figures!
If he wants to truly enter the top level of the state and participate in decision-making, his official identity must be that of deputy director.

And this is just the threshold to participate in decision-making and reach the top level. If he wants to truly influence the overall situation, he must at least be one of the best.

Such people, like the deputy director of the Canglongzhou Pacification Office and the master of the Five Thunders, Ning Zhengyue, are probably not qualified!

From Chen Ping'an's current perspective, he must be at least the helmsman of the top forces, the faction leaders of the three major Canglong families, the powerful deputy director of the State Pacification Division and the State Qiankun Division. Only such a person can influence the attitudes of all parties when the state makes a decision!

And this is just the impact.
If it comes to making a decision, then
Thinking of this, Chen Pingan couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.

His apparent strength is just that of a Grandmaster who has just broken through. In terms of combat power, at best he is a powerful senior Grandmaster. Things like this seem a little far-fetched.

The water in this world is much deeper than he imagined. The water in this state is not so easy to muddy.

Don't underestimate the people in this world!

If he wants to have enough means of self-protection and reserve enough safety space, then his real strength in secret must be higher than what he shows on the surface!
Not only high, but much higher!
Hiding most of it is the most basic requirement!
In addition to the small half that is not hidden, he also needs to hide the other half to provide space for him to unleash his strength openly.

As a state giant now, he is in charge of a region. While enjoying the benefits, he is bound to offend some people or forces. In the process, it is inevitable that there are some who are stronger than him and can't avoid showing his means to deal with them.

And now is the time for the half space he reserved to come into play.

In addition, on this basis, he also concealed most of his methods. If he really encountered any additional changes, he would be able to deal with them calmly.

It's like when you beat the young one, the old one comes, and when you beat the old one, an even older one comes.

Such things are not all fabricated in biographical novels.

Realistic scenario, with evidence to rely on!
He has hidden his strength so that he can easily defend himself and kill all invading enemies!

He must deal with the things on the stage he is on and the things he comes into contact with below his actual strength. Only in this way can he ensure his safety and long-term stability!
As he now has the combat power of a supreme grandmaster, the stage he stands on is the stage of a normal grandmaster, and the affairs he deals with are all within the scope of his duties as a guard of Beicang. They are within the scope of his grandmaster's strength and can be resolved.

Even if there are some conflicts of interest, the people they face are at most at the level of top masters.

Considering his reputation as a genius, even if something unexpected happened, at best he would be just an ordinary grandmaster.

And the ordinary grandmaster.
With his current strength, even if he can't kill the enemy with one hand, it would be easy and comfortable!
This kind of logical cycle can ensure his safety and leave enough space for his future development!

He has a golden finger panel and his desire for external things is limited.

Although there is a certain demand, there is absolutely no need to take risks.

According to his current logical steps, although it is a bit slow, it is safer!
If one day, his apparent strength and status can truly enter the top decision-making sequence of Canglong Province, then his real strength will be at least two levels higher, or even more!
A combat power close to that of a supreme grandmaster is considered to be half a step into the top circle of the state. A supreme grandmaster is a step firmly into the top circle.

If one wants to influence the overall decision-making process, regardless of family background, one must at least be close to the level of a Grand Master.

Even without considering hiding, Chen Pingan's current strength is still a little short of it.

However, according to my current progress in martial arts, I think I will be able to reach this level soon!

In a few days, it will not only be achieved, but surpassed!

Chen Pingan looked back at Canglongzhou City again.

"When you come back next time, it won't be like today."

Tong Guan, Fang Zhengyu, Li Wusheng, Earth-Splitting Old Man, Crazy Wave Guest
One name after another flashed through Chen Ping'an's mind.

He wants to come back, and he wants to come back in glory!
After leaving Canglongzhou City, the speed of the vehicle increased significantly. It passed through the big city of Guangyuan, but did not enter the city to rest. Instead, it rushed all the way to Beicang.

Just as Chen Ping'an had just left Guangyuan, the Daqian Hidden Dragon List was officially updated and released!
Tianji Tower uses extremely special means and methods to simultaneously update all borders and states across the entire dynasty territory.

In an instant, the situation changed dramatically!
