Chapter 021 Longtan Tiger Den
Under the escort of the Black Prison Guard, the group passed through the city and finally arrived at the heavily guarded and mysterious military mansion.
Compared with the shabby county government, the military government is much more grand, and there is more than one yamen. To be precise, as long as you step into the boundary of West Street, all the buildings you can see are under the name of the military government, and are divided into eight fangs and sixteen halls.
Among them, the fang is the residence of the soldiers and generals, and the hall is the office of the military government.
Along the way, there are three steps and one whistle, and fully armed patrol soldiers can be seen everywhere.
There are also shadow scouts carrying hard bows and powerful crossbows on the eaves and in the shadows in the corners of the wall, and even between a certain treetop.
With such surveillance of the sky and earth net, I am afraid that a fly flew into the West Street and could not escape without any loss.
The moment Chu Chen stepped into the West Street, he found sharp gazes passing by him. Unlike the curious, surprised, harmless gazes of the players outside, he felt as if he had entered the den of a dragon's pond and was stared at by a group of bloodthirsty beasts, and his eyebrows were stinged.
This is his instinctive reaction when he encounters danger.
However, as he gradually deepened on West Street, he quickly adapted to the surrounding environment and his nervousness quickly calmed down.
"Where is Chen Qingzhi going to lead me?"
At the same time, Chu Chen also discovered something wrong.
Logically speaking, Chu Chen asked for a mountain ghost, and in the eyes of a powerful boss like Chen Qingzhi, it was definitely an insignificant little thing, so why bother him to ask about it personally?
At most, just take Chu Chen to the military mansion and throw it to a civil servant below to do it.
However, not only did Chen Qingzhi not leave Chu Chen, but the black prison guards who accompanied him still surrounded Chu Chen in the center, making him want to leave but unable to leave. He went up to ask the reason, and he was even more afraid. He could only be driven to follow the trend.
Chu Chen couldn't figure out what Chen Qingzhi was selling in the gourd, so he had no choice but to take one step at the moment.
Anyway, I don’t have any shameful things, I am innocent and able to withstand any investigation. Chen Qingzhi will never harm him for no reason, right?
Does he have any trouble?
Thinking of this, Chu Chen suddenly became much calmer.
After continuing for about half a quarter of an hour, Chen Qingzhi stopped in front of a mansion with the plaque of "Yingwu Hall".
At this time, the leader of the Black Prison Guard stepped forward and took out half of the golden talisman from his arms, and paired it with the other half of the golden talisman held by the lieutenant outside the hall, which was tightly matched.
The lieutenant put away the golden talisman and then led his subordinates to salute Chen Qingzhi.
Chu Chen took the opportunity to sneak open the system map. The places on the map were covered with fog, but based on the route of the group when they came, it is not difficult to tell that Yingwu Hall is located in the center of West Street.
Then, the leader of the Black Prison Guard retreated to Chen Qingzhi and led the rest of the Black Prison Guard to leave together.
"The Black Prison Guard is not my personal soldier. When I go out, the Black Prison Guard is accompanying him and escorting him is a public service." Chen Qingzhi glanced at Chu Chen, who was confused next to him from the corner of his eyes, and said with a rare explanation: "Now that the official service is completed, the Black Prison Guard will naturally return to the garrison. This marquis won't invite them to have tea."
Chu Chen nodded suddenly and looked like he had been taught by his juniors.
It’s okay to pretend to be a grandson in person.
The overall layout of Yingwu Hall is no different from that of ordinary government offices.
The palace is in front of the palace, which is a place where officials usually summon their subordinates to handle official duties.
Behind a private residence, the family members of officials are usually living.
Chen Qingzhi led Chu Chen around the open schoolyard in front of the mansion and went straight to the back house.
Chu Chen was full of doubts along the way, but he didn't show it. He only looked at his nose and his heart, and did not dare to look up, for fear of hitting the noble girl in the back house.
In fact, Chu Chen was completely overthinking.
Chen Qingzhi has not been married so far, and his parents are old, so it is even more inconvenient to move to the military residence to live with him. He has his own family support. Now, there are only some servants and maids in the back house of Yingwu Hall, as well as... many aides he recruited, as well as his nephew who was also from Jixia Academy.
Those who accomplish great things must have their extraordinary features.
Chen Qingzhi was able to stand out from the Confucianism with a wealth of talents, and stayed in a high position for a long time, and held the military power of the government, but it was not as simple as his talent. He forced Chu Chen to come in a few words, because he was attracted by the latter's identity as the former son of Ren Zen of Bodhi Temple, and wanted to impress him and take it for himself.
after all.
Raise hawks and dogs and attract talents.
Since ancient times, it has been a political compulsory course in the court or general in the army.
"Look at the tea!"
The back house of Yingwu Hall is a villa built against the mountain.
The environment is quiet, with rockery and green waters, green bamboo, pine and cypress in the courtyard, and white fine sand are spreading on the ground. The red maple leaves in the mountains fall in the wind, and pieces are decorated on them, which looks unique and elegant.
Chen Qingzhi gave an order, and immediately two pretty maids came up holding a set of purple clay tea sets, burned a pot of incense, and then performed beautiful tea ceremony skills on the spot.
"What's the case with Zen?"
Chen Qingzhi's sitting posture was full of golden sword and asked casually.
He slowly unfolded a jade fracture fan in his hand, and his eyes fell on the green mountains and rivers on the fan surface, but he did not look at Chu Chen.
Chu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "The little monk is no longer a Zen student of Bodhi Temple, and his Dharma name has been taken back by my master. Don't make fun of the little monk anymore." After saying that, he paused and continued, "As for the mountain, stone, flower and tree here, it is naturally excellent!"
Chen Qingzhi continued to play with the folding fan and asked again: "I heard that you were opened to the door by Abbot Xuanku because of your personal release. Is there any other inside story about this?"
There is something inside, but I can't say...
I am not stupid. When it comes to the secret inheritance of the Qing Emperor, how can I easily tell an outsider who is a hundred times stronger than me?
Chu Chen adjusted his emotions and his smile became more and more bitter: "I will not hide it from the Marquis. The little monk is a monk. He has been devoted to Buddhism since he was a child and is compassionate. He really couldn't bear to see the Tianfox mother and daughter suffering under the Demon-Suppressing Tower, so he felt compassion and dared to let them live."
Chen Qingzhi still looked down at the fan, and then suddenly changed his question, "There are many demons appearing in Liangzhou recently, do you know?"
Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, pretending to be innocent and shook his head and asked, "The little monk doesn't know, is this related to the little monk?"
Chen Qingzhi refused to comment and slowly changed another question: "I heard that after leaving Bodhi Temple, you went north after going down the mountain, and went to Yanzhou, Jingzhou, Qingzhou, Kunzhou, and finally came to Liangzhou. Today I visited Wuwei under my rule, but who are you looking for?"
"You tell me, maybe I can help you."
Chen Qingzhi put down the folding fan and turned to Chu Chen with a smile.
Chu Chen was shocked, and his palms were sweating coldly, feeling that his weakness was hit.
Based on Chen Qingzhi's several problems, it seems to have nothing to do with it on the surface, but in fact it is hidden in the cotton and connected together, as if it is testing the secrets in Chu Chen's heart step by step.
Why go all the way north? Because he is looking for the whereabouts of Tianhu Tushan Zi’s mother and daughter!
By the way, Chu Chen was so cruel that he left the house by them that he lost the great start in vain, and he still remains worried about it.
Even if the hidden mission does not indicate the whereabouts of the next link, how could Chu Chen give up easily?
Professional players must have a persistent professional spirit!
Even though the territory of Jiuzhou is vast, Chu Chen will search for it one by one, and it doesn’t matter if he finds a needle in a haystack. He has already made up his mind that even if he finds it for ten or eight years (game time), he must take back all the losses!
The Northern Wilderness is the territory of the demon clan, so the most likely route to escape after Tu Shanzi escaped is to go north.
What's more, Liangzhou was the place where Emperor Qing became famous.
So, Chu Chen walked and stopped all the way. In order to cover up his eyes, he lived in many sects for a while, pretending to be wandering around the world and throwing all over the master's sect.
However.
In the end, Chu Chen thought that his plan was seamless, but someone was interested in seeing a clue.
