Chapter 382
After the dinner, Chen Ping'an, surrounded by many elders of the Mu family, walked towards the gate. These elders, who were known among the Mu family for their dignity and seriousness of speech, seemed particularly kind and enthusiastic at this time, and their faces were all filled with smiles.
As everyone walked out, the servants and stewards of the Mu family stepped out of the way. Until everyone left, they still stayed in the same place. Many people looked at the scene in front of them with astonishment in their eyes.
"Master Chen, please forgive Haihan for the poor reception!" With a smile on his face, Mu Tianxiong stood at the door with other members of the Mu family to bid farewell to Chen Ping'an.
"Master Mu, you're welcome." Chen Ping'an said a few words of greeting, then got on the carriage in front of everyone's eyes. The curtain in front of the vehicle frame was opened by a guard. After Chen Pingan entered the vehicle, it was slowly lowered.
"Sir, walk slowly!"
Amidst the congratulations of everyone, the carriage slowly started to move towards the distance.
...
In a courtyard of the Mu family, Mu Zhixuan's eyes were red and swollen, her hair was messy, she was looking at the sky outside the window, in a daze.
"Chen Ping'an, the reckless swordsman... ranks fifth among the rookies... his combat prowess is unparalleled..."
"Only twenty-two years old...promoted to deputy capital commander..."
The elders of the clan, who had always set their sights on the top, put down all their majesty and airs in front of Chen Pingan. That kind and flattering look kept reappearing in Mu Zhixuan's mind. That picture set off wave after wave of emotions in her heart!
...
After attending the dinner at Mu's family, in the next few days, Chen Ping'an was invited by several families and went to dinner at Liu's, Fu's, and Fang's families.
When going to Fang's house for the banquet, many scenes from the past appeared in Chen Ping'an's mind.
Back then, he killed Zuo Wumei, an abandoned disciple of the Shadowless Sword Sect, and went to the Fang family's treasure house to select treasures. It was a good thing, but unfortunately, for Chen Pingan, the experience that time was not very good.
The prejudice and arrogance from a thousand-year-old family were clearly revealed in that incident. Ironically, the person who showed his arrogance and prejudice was not an elder of the Fang family, but just a peripheral manager.
"Mr. Chen, I don't know. Your joining the Fang family will not delay your development in the Zhenfu Department at all. In addition, the Fang family will serve as your greatest support and help you gain a foothold in the Zhenfu Department as much as possible. Even better.”
"Chen is used to freedom. Thirty years is too long. I really don't want to join the forces and be sent around. Manager Fang's good intentions are appreciated by Chen."
"Mr. Chen, joining a force will indeed sacrifice a certain degree of freedom. But the benefits behind it are also visible to the naked eye. For example..."
"Our Fang family has been passed down for thousands of years, and some people have been absorbed into the family. Among these people who joined the Fang family, some have performed well and were valued by the current head of the family. First, they were promoted successively, and then they were combined with the legitimate daughter of the Fang family to become our family. One of the elders of the family.”
Chen Ping'an recalled the scene of that day in his mind. Looking at the elders of the Fang family in front of him who were all smiling and flattering, he felt that his thoughts were clear and his mind was at ease!
"Interesting! So interesting!"
Don't deceive young people to be poor. Although he has never really felt the taste of Hedong and Hexi in thirty years. But similar scene experiences also make people happy.
"Master Chen, what are you..." Youfang family elder asked cautiously.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered some past events." Chen Pingan smiled and shook his head gently.
"That's it. Mr. Chen is really a man of temperament." Hearing this, the old man of the Fang family relaxed. He immediately raised his glass and looked around, saying loudly: "Come on, everyone, let us toast Mr. Chen together!"
As soon as this statement came out, many people greeted him, stood up and raised their glasses to toast.
"Come on, come on! Let's respect Mr. Chen!"
"Master Chen, I respect you!"
"..."
By the time the dinner was over, the night was already dark. Accompanied by the elders of the Fang family, Chen Pingan walked outside.
Inside the Fang Family Mansion, there are twists and turns, seven twists and turns. Chen Ping'an passed by a pavilion and a pool, and another picture flashed in his mind.
Several young girls and boys in gorgeous clothes were laughing and playing with each other in the pavilion, and they were extremely happy.
There were maids standing behind them, and there were sumptuous pastries and delicacies on the stone table in the center.
Seeing these young masters and ladies, he took his steward and left him aside, bending down to say hello to them. In the end, all he got was the ignorance of the boys and girls in the pavilion.
At that time, he was young and thin, and when he first joined the Fang family, he was just a dispensable and insignificant junior. Not to mention the elders of the Fang family, even the younger members of the Fang family didn't take him seriously.
And today...
Chen Ping'an looked around and saw everyone in the Fang family surrounding him tightly like stars holding the moon. Scenes like this couldn't help but make him chuckle.
The elders of the Fang family around him didn't understand why Chen Pingan was laughing. But seeing him like this, he laughed a few times unconsciously.
Outside the Fang Family Mansion, everyone bid farewell, and the scene was extremely eye-catching. This kind of power has attracted the envy of many people.
Chen Ping'an sat on the carriage, looking at everyone in the Fang family with smiles on their faces, and seeing the many servants and guards paying attention to send them off. He felt happy and happy.
It wasn't until the carriage took off and disappeared from the sight of everyone in the Fang family that Chen Pingan's mood calmed down.
"The road to martial arts is long and full of obstacles, and there is also a sense of loneliness! Such experiences and situations can be used as entertainment on the road to martial arts. But you must not lose your true heart and become addicted to it. Power is like a tall building, martial arts is like a foundation. No more The foundation is just a castle in the air, and it becomes empty in the blink of an eye!”
"The road is lonely, and you can have fun! But don't be obsessed with it. This is the heart of martial arts!"
As he thought, Chen Pingan sat cross-legged and carried Zhou Tian. Along with the spiritual light of the spiritual platform flashing, a faint green light spread over the body surface.
+1!
...
In the next few days, Chen Pingan focused exclusively on martial arts practice. Just as he was concentrating on seclusion, the envoy from Canglong Prefecture Town Fusi finally arrived at Weishui County.
Fan Zhengheng, the envoy of the Weishui Town Fusi, and a group of senior officials from the Weishui Town Fusi came forward to receive the special envoy from the Prefecture Town Fusi.
"Master Yu, welcome! Master Yu has come all the way, and it really makes the water of Weishui shine!"
This envoy from the Zhenfu Division of Canglong Prefecture is a middle-aged man with a broad forehead and a majestic face. His sharp eyes and a pair of thick sword eyebrows made him look even more heroic.
Pojun Wujin Fist, Yu Zhanhong! His combat prowess is at the very top! However, there are also rumors that his combat power vaguely touches the realm of dragon and tiger, but there is no actual record, and this matter has never been clarified.
"Master Fan, you're welcome!" Yu Zhanhong glanced around, but didn't see the person he wanted to see among the crowd. "Where is Mr. Chen?"
"Please forgive me, Master Yu. Master Chen is practicing in seclusion at home and does not know about Master Yu's arrival." Fan Zhengheng explained with a smile.
"Master Chen has really worked hard in his cultivation! He is indeed the talented young man of our Zhenfu Division!" Yu Zhanhong had a calm expression on his face and nodded slightly without saying much.
Yu Zhanhong's reaction made many people below have different expressions.
When the envoy arrived, Chen Ping'an was in the city but did not come to greet him. This matter can be big or small, light or serious! Judging from the appearance of the envoy, it was obvious that he had no intention of going into details, so he decided to just let it go.
Yu Zhanhong's reaction made Liu Yuanhua, who was standing aside, flash a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Chen Ping'an's relationship with Zhou Zhenfusi may be deeper than he thought!
"Master Yu, it's been a long journey, please come in quickly!" Fan Zhengheng gently raised his hand and led a path.
Yu Zhanhong was in Fusi, Canglong Prefecture, and served as the chief officer of the dispatch office, commanding the rank of envoy. In terms of level, he is on the same level as him, but due to the blessing of being an envoy, he is actually half a step ahead of him.
If this promotion had not involved the deputy capital commander, Canglong Prefecture Town Fusi would not have sent such a high-level envoy.
Just when Fan Zhengheng welcomed Yu Zhanhong into the city, Chen Ping'an also received news of the arrival of the envoy.
As early as the beginning, someone from the Fusi Department of Weishui Town notified the matter, but due to Chen Ping'an's retreat, he did not receive the news immediately. Therefore, I missed the reception outside the city.
"After waiting for nearly ten days, the special envoy from the Fusi Department of Prefecture has finally arrived!" Under Shaoyao's service, Chen Ping'an put on a coat and turned around to get on the carriage.
Name: Chen Pingan
Realm: Early stage of Yuheng - Condensed Spirit Flower
Martial Arts: The Dragon and Elephant Tyrant Body Technique is perfected (345/1600), the Soul-Destroying Knife is perfected (0/640), the Vajra Indestructible Magic Skill is perfected, the Three Tribulation Finger is perfected, the Great Vajra Palm is perfected...
...
After concentrating on seclusion for several days, Chen Ping'an's martial arts progress has been gratifying and he has accumulated a considerable amount of practice experience.
...
When Chen Ping'an arrived at Fusi, Weishui Town, Fan Zhengheng, Liu Yuanhua and other senior officials of the Town and Fusi were entertaining envoy Yu Zhanhong.
"Master Fan!" Chen Ping'an said hello to Fan Zhengheng.
Seeing Chen Ping'an coming, Fan Zhengheng's eyes lit up, and he turned to Yu Zhanhong and said, "Master Yu, this is our Weishui Town Fusi Tianjiao, Chen Ping'an!"
Hearing this, Yu Zhanhong looked at Chen Pingan with interest.
"Ping'an, this is the special envoy of Zhouzhen Fusi, Mr. Yu Zhanhongyu." Fan Zhengheng introduced.
"Hello, Mr. Yu." Chen Pingan bowed his hands in salute.
"As early as when I was in Fusi, the prefecture town, I heard that there was a genius born in Weishui! When I saw him today, Master Chen is really heroic and extraordinary!" Yu Zhanhong's face was gentle, without any airs.
"Master Yu, you're welcome!" Chen Pingan said with a smile.
Yu Zhanhong's attitude toward Chen Pingan made many people present look at him with suspicion. Even Fan Zhengheng's eyes couldn't help but flash. There was no air of an envoy in Yu Zhanhong's words, and it was obvious that he intended to make good friends with Chen Pingan. Yu Zhanhong's actions strengthened Fan Zhengheng's suspicion.
The Gu family has probably already paved the way for Chen Pingan, and when the time is right, they will let him rise to the top! Chen Ping'an must not be offended!
...
Deputy Commander of the Capital! Looking at Weishui County, it is also an absolute top giant! In the Fusi of Weishui Town, he is the second and third leader.
Promotion at this level will naturally not be a hasty ceremony. The corresponding ceremony has already been prepared by Weishui Town Fusi.
On the second day after Yu Zhanhong arrived in Weishui County, Weishui Town Fusi held a promotion ceremony of extremely high standards.
The venue is the top-notch restaurant Bao Pavilion in Weishui County, and the corresponding layout and decoration are the most elaborate designs of the craftsmen in the city.
In addition to everyone in the Zhenfusi system, Chen Ping'an's promotion ceremony was attended by representatives of major aristocratic families and major gangs in the county. In addition, there are some influential chambers of commerce and wealthy businessmen in the county.
"Rewards and punishments are the outline of the country and the source of trust and loyalty. Chen Ping'an, the outer patrol officer of Long'an Commercial Road, is loyal and brave... After deliberation by the Canglongzhou Zhenfu Division, he is hereby promoted to the deputy commander of the Weishui Zhenfu Division! He has full authority to control all patrols in the entire Weishui County, and is in charge of the Weishui Town outside the town..."
"This appointment will take effect immediately, and the state and local pacification divisions will be notified to all!"
"..."
Yu Zhanhong announced Chen Ping'an's latest appointment loudly.
"Full authority to control all patrols in the entire Weishui County!? In charge of the Weishui Town outside the town..." Chen Ping'an's latest appointment made many people feel awe-inspiring and shocked.
Just promoted, he was entrusted with such an important task! The inspection of the entire Weishui County is not a light task!
In addition to the inspection of the Weishui County, there is also the inspection of the Long'an Commercial Road. The inspection of the Long'an Commercial Road is divided into the outer and inner parts. For example, the outer part is the position that Chen Pingan previously held, and the inner part is on the inner side of the trade route.
If the two are integrated, it is the patrol of the Weishui section of the Long'an trade route, and the daily work will overlap with the important town of Beicang.
In addition to the patrol of the trade route, the latest appointment involves the cities and garrisons in the patrol area, all of which are under the charge of Chen Pingan.
Like Wufeng Mountain City, Baishi City, which is close to the entrance of the trade route... and many similar Wufeng Mountain garrisons, all of which are included!
In addition, the Weishui Outer Town Fusi is also under the charge of Chen Pingan!
Such power! Just hearing it makes people feel awe-inspiring.
"Master Chen, congratulations!" Yu Zhanhong smiled and handed the appointment document with the Canglongzhou Fusi stamped on it to Chen Pingan.
At the same time, an elite officer held a tray and presented Chen Pingan with the latest waist badge and fish scale clothes.
The fish scale clothes worn by the deputy commander are slightly different from the other levels. In addition, there are several different styles of exquisite cloaks.
Both the fish scale suit and the cloak are made of special materials and have certain protective properties. Although it is not as good as ordinary protective treasures, it is also close to this category.
In a sense, it can be regarded as a special category of treasures!
After the promotion ceremony, it was the dinner stage. During the banquet, Chen Pingan, as the absolute protagonist, naturally enjoyed extraordinary treatment.
Representatives of many aristocratic gangs came up to toast.
"Master Chen, I toast you! You are welcome!"
"Congratulations to Master Chen for his promotion! We have another blue sky in Weishui County!"
"......"
Fu Shenghua sat in a corner on the outermost edge, looking at the young man sitting in the main seat from a distance, his expression was shocked, and his heart was horrified. Those big guys who are rarely seen on weekdays gathered around the young man. Among these people, no matter who they are, they are people who can cause a tremor if they stomp their feet lightly outside!
At this moment, in front of this young man, they were like ordinary people, lining up one by one, smiling and toasting him modestly.
"That's... Lord Zhao!" Fu Shenghua's eyes fixed and he recognized one of them.
He spent a lot of energy and used his connections to finally curry favor with Lord Zhao Lianzhi, who was standing in front of him, bending over and toasting respectfully.
"Such power..." Fu Shenghua's eyes were filled with deep horror.
Looking at the people around him who stood up one by one to line up for a toast, Fu Shenghua picked up the wine glass, stood up, and walked towards Chen Pingan who was sitting in the main seat.
"If I have such power in my life, I will die without regrets!"
