I come to see Bai Yujing today

Chapter 169 Good Men Never Live Long

The setting sun was as red as blood, and the ebony plaque of the Chu family mansion glowed coldly in the twilight.

A dead horse lay on the ground with its neck broken.

The bluestone under his feet was covered with blood, but Chen Zhian's black clothes were not stained with blood.

This Yingzhi Street was originally the residence of the nobles, and few common people passed by. In other mansions, divine aura might flow out, or someone would open the door and look over here.

The black knight who had just crashed into Chen Zhian had paid the price. The heavy armor on his body was completely unable to block Chen Zhian's Green Emperor's sword intent. Now he was lying there, with blood gushing out of all the orifices on his face under the helmet, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

The other eight black-armored figures all drew their swords and mounted their horses, with murderous looks in their eyes.

Chen Zhian keenly noticed that the true energy flowing in the bodies of these armored figures was almost exactly the same in terms of flow speed and operation routes.

There seemed to be a connection between the thundering breathing.

"Battle formation..."

Chen Zhian's eyes moved slightly. There was a huge gap between the levels of cultivation in the world, but there were very few enemies who could defeat ten thousand enemies on the battlefield. Why was that?
It's because the army has its own battle formations, and thousands of soldiers practice the magic of battle formations together, amplifying each other, and then with the help of military momentum and spiritual treasures, they can make up for the gap in realm.

At this time, these black-armored knights were practicing the art of battle formation.

The auras of the eight first-level innate beings were so vigorous that they even caused a storm.

At the same time, several powerful divine auras flew out from the Chu Mansion, locking onto the void around Chen Zhian, staring at him hungrily.

Chu Xiubai's eyes were cold, as if he was weighing something.

The young master of the Wang family looked at the black armor lying on the ground with some regret...

The Wang family might have no shortage of people at the first level of innateness, but it would be a bit unfair if they died in vain.

What's more, the black-armored man practiced the mysterious art of battle formation, which was extremely difficult to cultivate.

Now that one of the nine men in black armor is missing, the strength of the battle formation will be greatly reduced.

"It seems that I underestimated you." The young master surnamed Wang said in a gentle and calm voice: "Speaking of which, I have heard of your many deeds, Chen Zhian and Chen Sijia, and I know that you are very bold.

But today, I saw that you were so young, and I still looked down on you, thinking that you were just testing me and that you wouldn’t kill someone in the street.”

Chen Zhian stood there, the stench of the horse's corpse still coming from his nostrils.

“Everyone is different and in different positions.

There are people watching me from behind, hoping that I will climb a few levels higher, and that I will be more domineering, and that the more awkward the situation with people like you is, the better."

Chen Zhian was quite calm and said, "Today, when I saw Yu Li Ke, even though I couldn't stand him, I still turned around and wanted to leave.

But the two gentlemen don't want me to leave... so I have no choice but to take action!"

When he said this, he paused and looked at Chu Xiubai: "Mr. Chu, are you considering whether Grand Commander Qin will help me if I am killed brazenly on Yingzhi Street?"

Chu Xiubai remained silent, his expression cold.

The young master of the Wang family was stroking the mutton-fat jade ring on his thumb. The silver thread on his cloud-patterned brocade robe flickered in the twilight.

Facing the gazes of the crowd and the aura of several Yuque disciples, Chen Zhian remained straight.

All of a sudden, Yingzhi Street became much quieter.

It was still Chen Zhian who broke the silence.

He lowered his head and looked at Yu Li Ke standing in front of the Chu Mansion. With a smile on his face, he asked, "This Xuantianjing is under the feet of the saints and is governed by the law. I don't know what mistake this young man made to be beaten like this by the two young masters?"

Chu Xiubai and the young master of the Wang family looked at each other.

The young master of the Wang family showed a clearly visible smile on his face and said, "Mr. Chen, do you know who this person is?"

Chen Zhian nodded calmly: "I have met him. His name is Yu Li Ke, and he is from Black Stone Mountain."

Chu Xiubai's expression, which was originally controllable, suddenly became a little ferocious: "That night, was it you who hid Yu Li Ke?"

Chen Zhian did not answer.

The young master of the Wang family took a step forward, the hem of his luxurious clothes still stained with mud from the suburbs, and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Chen knows that this man is named Yu Li Ke, he should also know that he has assassinated General Chu several times and is a wanted man by the court.

Mr. Chen wants to use the law to protect the guilty?"

"I see." Chen Zhian nodded, but changed the subject: "Since he is a wanted man by the imperial court, he should be handed over to the capital's prefectural government or the Ministry of Justice when he arrives in Xuantianjing. However, General Chu brought him into his own house and wanted to torture him privately. What kind of law is this?"

Chu Xiubai and the young master of the Wang family were increasingly confused about what Chen Zhian was up to.

"In Dayu, when we are in the right, Mr. Chen still wants to explain the law in such detail? This is a bit surprising to me, Wang Yan."

Wang Yan, the son of the Wang family, spoke slowly: "But even if Mr. Chen says anything, this man is just a wanted criminal by the government."

A slight smile appeared on Chu Xiubai's lips, and when he stretched out his hand, a long knife appeared in his hand.

He raised the long knife and placed it on Yu Li Ke's neck, with a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Even if I chop off Yu Li Ke's head today, it would only be like killing a fugitive. If you, Chen Zhian, are dissatisfied, go to the government office and sue me.

I, Chu Xiubai, will be waiting for you at Yingzhi Street."

He swung his long sword and was about to strike Yu Li Ke's arm, as if he wanted to chop off his arm to let Chen Zhian see whether he dared or not.

But at this moment, Chen Zhian suddenly spoke up: "General Chu, is it true that Black Rock Mountain killed innocent people and took credit for their crimes?"

"Ok?"

Chu Xiubai's expression changed again in an instant. His brows were furrowed like an angry lion, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"Chen Zhian, I am the current General Pingye. How dare you slander me?"

Chen Zhian laughed and said, "I heard that the reason why Yu Li Ke tried to assassinate General Pingye several times was because he wanted to seek revenge on the general.

The general is so eager to kill him, but is unwilling to hand him over to the government for investigation. Is he afraid that he might find out something?"

On Yingzhi Street, many gods peeked out from the walls of each house and watched this scene.

Chen Zhian was alone, facing Wang Yan and Chu Xiubai, facing the eight black-armored figures, and facing the retainers in Chu's mansion, and he seemed to have no fear at all.

"Why is Chen Zhian so bold? Isn't he afraid that Qin Dadu Yu will be embarrassed to take action for such a small fight?"

Wang Yan finally frowned.

As his eyes moved slightly, the eight black-armored figures rode their horses closer, and the Yuque disciples in the Chu Mansion suddenly became aggressive and pressed towards Chen Zhian.

But at this moment, a silver needle flashed and suddenly hung beside Chen Zhian.

At the same time, at the nearby intersection, a few people rode over on horseback.

Wang Yan and Chu Xiubai turned around and saw several people sitting on the horses.

Zheng Xuanze, Lu Zhujun...

There was even a thin Yun Ting.

In addition to the person who was controlling the silver needle in the distance, there were actually two Yuque, two of the sixth level of innateness!

These young warriors all had their aura bursting out, their true essence flowing, and they looked at this place coldly.

"You want to fight us here on Yingzhi Street?" Chen Zhian finally smiled: "It seems that I have touched General Chu's sore spot."

There was a mad murderous intent locked between Chu Xiubai's brows, and the long sword in his hand was still gleaming with energy.

Wang Yan suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, if you don't have any evidence, you can't say anything.

Today, Yu Li Ke died here. Whether it is the government office or the Ministry of Justice, I am afraid that they will not pay attention to Mr. Chen’s empty words. Black Stone Mountain... is just a disaster caused by demons."

Chen Zhian thought of Yun Ting and Lin Yu who died in the government office of Jing Yinfu. He knew that this was indeed the case, and the nobles in the government office would naturally ignore empty words.

But Chen Zhian still shook his head firmly.

"The nobles in the government office don't want to pay attention, but since I, Chen Zhian, have asked, I have to take care of it."

Chu Xiubai sneered: "Eighth-rank Che Yi Lang, you want to meddle in the affairs of my Chu family? You don't know your own limitations."

The smile on Chen Zhian's face became brighter and brighter, and the Beiyin horse that Zheng Xuanze brought slowly walked to Chen Zhian's side.

He climbed onto his horse and said with a smile, "Chen Zhian is not a high-ranking official and does not have the power to enforce the law, but I still have a few pens and inks given by the court during the imperial ceremony."

“If Yu Li Ke died at the hands of General Chu today, I would use these pens to write a few words, about the evil Yu Li Ke, about the Black Stone Mountain where the village was destroyed, and about a young general named Chu, and put them together into a storybook for people all over the world to read.

In addition, I will insert seventeen or eighteen poems into this storybook.

So that everyone in the world will know that there is such a young man on Blackrock Mountain who knows his fate and is not afraid of evil. "

Chu Xiubai still sneered: "Do you think I'm afraid of what those ordinary people say about me?"

Wang Yan, who was standing by, suddenly changed his expression when he heard what Chen Zhian said.

People who read books know best what the two poems by Chen Zhian mean.

To this day, the fame of Chen Zhian's poems has probably spread throughout Dayu, and scholars all over the world are competing to recite them, including many great scholars and people with powerful cultivation.

Of course, you don't have to care about the rumors of the common people.

But if Chen Zhian really wrote such a story and spread it all over the world, the Chu family would be extremely embarrassed.

and……

If everyone in the fifty states of Dayu were to ask about this matter, even if the Chu family was very powerful, they would still have some concerns.

"This Chen Zhian has become powerful." Wang Yan regretted letting the black cavalry test Chen Zhian. If he let Chen Zhian go, even if he wanted to save Yu Li Ke, he would have to think of other ways so that he would not be as embarrassed as he is now.

"He has all the talent, cultivation, literary reputation, and backers, but it's too difficult to kill him. Now there are a few young people gathered around him. In the future, I'm afraid no one in Xuan Tianjin will not be afraid of him."

He thought to himself, and then his spiritual energy flowed and landed on the ear of one of the men in black armor.

The man in black armor immediately jumped off his horse, took off his helmet, stepped in front of Yu Li Ke, mentioned Yu Li Ke, and turned to speak to Chen Zhian.

"I am Wu Lian from Nanfeng Prefecture in the South China Sea. I am promoted to the seventh rank official with a golden seal and I am here to track down this fugitive criminal across the state.

After passing Xuan Tianjing, we only rested for a while, and now we have to escort the fugitive to Nanfengzhou."

There were fifty states in Dayu, and each state had an inspection office. The Dayu Criminal Code stipulated that the inspection office could cross the border to catch thieves, and the official positions were divided into three types: gold, silver, and bronze seals.

"Mr. Chen wants the law, isn't this the law?"

Wang Yan was still stroking his finger ring, and said with a smile: "Yu Li Ke committed his first crime in Nanfeng Prefecture. It is legal for the Nanfeng Prefecture Inspection Office to arrest him. They will escort him back to Nanfeng Prefecture for trial and give him justice. In this way... Mr. Chen should be relieved?"

He raised his hand slightly.

The eight men in black armor had already taken Yu Li Ke on horseback and were about to leave the city.

Chen Zhian rode on Beiyin's horse and watched the eight riders leave from afar. At the same time, the divine auras in Chu's mansion disappeared.

However, Chen Zhian's strong and powerful spiritual aura sensed that there were also guests from the Chu family who followed the black rider.

There was still a look of dissatisfaction in Chu Xiubai's eyes, but the long sword in his hand eventually disappeared.

But he looked at Chen Zhian with provocation in his eyes.

Chen Zhian's expression remained unchanged. He nodded and said, "Since it is legal and reasonable, it would be the best. I am just afraid that Yu Li Ke will die on the road."

Chu Xiubai raised his head, a faint light flickering in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I just happened to be on leave and wanted to go back to my clan. Yu Li Ke will go to the South China Sea alive with me."

"When I return to the South China Sea, I will definitely send some South China Sea specialties to Mr. Chen."

Chen Zhian nodded gently: "I also have some special products here, I will give them to General Chu to replenish his body someday, so that his injuries will not last long."

He didn't want to say anything more, so he grabbed the reins and rode away.

Not far away, Yun Ting, Lu Zhujun and Zheng Xuanze were waiting.

Yun Ting remained silent and just nodded at Chen Zhian.

Lu Zhujun frowned and asked, "Is Yu Li Ke an old friend of Brother Chen?"

Chen Zhian said: "I have met him twice, and I even saved his life once."

Zheng Xuanze sighed and said, "He is so young, but he has already entered the Yuque realm. He must be a rare genius.

It's a pity that he fell into the hands of the Chu family. I'm afraid he won't live long."

Yun Ting suddenly asked, "What grudge does this person have against Chu Xiubai?"

Chen Zhian replied expressionlessly: "This man was born in Black Stone Mountain on the border and was originally a villager.

The entire village of Black Stone Mountain was wiped out by Chu Xiubai, but Yu Li Ke survived and tried to assassinate Chu Xiubai three times, but failed in the end.

Today, he has already completed the Jade Palace, but it has fallen into the hands of the Wang family."

Yun Ting frowned suddenly.

He already knew about the Black Stone Mountain massacre, and he had also heard the rumors about Chu Xiubai.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be true.

Even the victim tried to assassinate him several times but failed!
"He's a good man." Zheng Xuanze rode on his horse, his eyes flickering, "It's a pity that in today's world, good men don't live long."

Yun Ting lowered his head and remained silent, but his eyes rarely flickered.

"Chu Xiubai also hates Yu Like to the core. I think we should send him to Nanfeng Prefecture and torture him thoroughly when he returns." Lu Zhujun's eyes were burning with anger.

Everyone fell silent at the same time, not saying a word.

I don’t know what you are thinking about.

When they reached the courtyard, Chen Zhian finally looked up and suddenly whispered, "It is said that bandits are rampant in Dayu Mountain, and the ground is full of thieves. I was even assassinated by Western Penglai in the imperial city of Xuantianjing."

Bai Jian had come to Bei Yinma's side without knowing when, and nodded and said, "It is true. The bandits in West Penglai have lost their mountaintops and are running rampant. They even dare to rob government tax silver and important criminals."

Zheng Xuanze and Lu Zhujun looked at each other.

Lu Zhujun's eyes were burning with flames.

Zheng Xuanze hesitated and said, "We have not been dismissed yet, and we are still generals of Dayu. If we pretend to be bandits, wouldn't it be..."

Yun Ting suddenly said: "I need a knife."

Chen Zhian laughed and reached out to throw the Yang Sui Knife to Yun Ting.

Yun Ting took the long sword, and the sword was immediately filled with sword energy.

Zheng Xuanze took a deep breath, and seeing that these people were eager to try, he finally nodded.

"Done!"

In the room, Chen Shuijun lowered his head and thought, with a gleam in his eyes.
