The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 430: Marriage Candidates, Restaurant Gossip (asking for monthly tickets~)

The letter was sent by Gu Qingchan. The handwriting was beautiful, yet elegant and soft.

The content of the letter is very long, but in summary it only mentions two things.

First, congratulations to Chen Pingan on his promotion to the post of deputy governor of Beicang, and attached a large amount of information about the important town of Beicang. All this information was obtained through the Gu family's channels, with clear context and comprehensive information, which was far more detailed than what Chen Pingan had previously known.

Secondly, Gu Qingchan mentioned in the letter that the candidate for marriage of the Gu family has been decided, and after Chen Pingan takes over Beicang and stabilizes the overall situation, he will choose a time to come to Canglongzhou City to discuss the details of the marriage.

"Has the person been chosen? The Gu family is quite fast!" A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Pingan's eyes.

Although the matter of Gu family's marriage had been mentioned for a long time, the tone changed in the middle. In addition to other things, he thought it would take some time for the Gu family to decide on the candidate.

However, thinking about it carefully, the Gu family's move is reasonable. As his talent has become more and more prominent recently, the Gu family's support for him has also increased day by day. Under such circumstances, the Gu family naturally hopes to tie him to the chariot as soon as possible and truly establish his status.

"Who could it be?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Chen Ping'an's eyes.

With his talent now revealed, even if the Gu family is the first family in Canglongzhou, the person chosen for marriage will definitely not be ordinary. At the very least, a core legitimate daughter will not be able to escape!

Chen Ping'an thought about it for a moment, and the surprise in his eyes disappeared instantly.

Although he was a little curious about the marriage partner, his curiosity was limited. No matter who the Gu family chose, they would still have to pass his test. If he was not satisfied, then the marriage would not be mentioned!
This was something that Gu Qingchan had promised him! With Gu Qingchan's current status, she should have a certain say within the Gu family.

Speaking of Gu Qingchan, several images emerged in Chen Pingan's mind.

The jade body is lying, showing the charm. And the dignified and elegant behind, the beauty is unparalleled
"This little girl..." Chen Pingan chuckled, shook his head, and stopped thinking about it.

hum~
The spiritual light flickers and the true energy flows.

With Chen Ping'an's current level of martial arts, and the fact that he is in a different frame, it is not difficult for him to hide his practice from Fan Zhengheng.

If he wanted to, he could easily deceive an ordinary Grandmaster even if he was there. He would only need to restrain himself when a Grandmaster in the middle stage of Yuheng was present.

+1!

The carriage moved slowly, and the scenery along the way kept receding. Chen Pingan sat cross-legged, practicing hard.

Among the dozens of cities in Liyang County, Liyang County City is the core one.

In recent days, Liyang County City has been particularly festive and lively, sweeping away the previous decadence caused by the rampage of the Ten Thousand Demons. The county city is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and there are laughter and joy. From time to time, patrols of the Pacification Office can be seen.

As the promotion ceremony approached, patrols had already been carried out in Liyang County, and the situation was extremely strict. If someone was blind enough to cause trouble in such an occasion, even if there was no substantial loss afterwards, the Liyang Pacification Office would still lose face.

The death of the previous commander-in-chief had already caused the prestige of the Liyang Pacification Office to plummet. At this critical juncture, a similar situation could not be allowed to happen again.

Xue Mingde was a veteran pseudo-grandmaster. He had previously served as the commander of the Qiyun Pacification Division, so his connections were extremely deep. At his promotion ceremony, all parties were happy to give him face.

Since half a month ago, representatives of various forces have been arriving in Liyang County City, specifically to participate in Xue Mingde's promotion ceremony. Many forces, such as Xue Mingde, who was previously stationed in Qiyun County, have come.

"What a big scene!"

"How can Master Xue's promotion ceremony be grand?"

“So many big shots!”

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't offend the noble. If you do offend him, no one can save you!"

"Yes Yes Yes"

"."

In Liyang County, all the elegant restaurants, teahouses and wine shops were full of discussions. The topics of discussion were basically inseparable from the recent promotion ceremony of Mr. Xue.

"I heard that Master Chen will also come this time."

"Master Chen, which Master Chen?"

"The one from Bei Cang!"

"Beicang? Oh, you mean Mangdao Chen Pingan!"

"Shh, you are risking your life, how dare you call me by my name like that!"

"Hey, he's not here right now. If he were here, I wouldn't dare say that!"

In a high-end restaurant, several well-dressed men sat together and talked to each other.

"Speaking of which, has Mang Dao Chen Ping'an already entered the city?"

"He entered the city! And it was Lord Xue who personally welcomed him!?"

"Master Xue will come to greet you personally?"

"Of course! Mang Dao Chen Pingan is in charge of Northern Cang, and he holds a high position of power. When he comes to Liyang, Lord Xue will of course welcome him in person. Let me tell you, the commander-in-chief of the Weishui Pacification Division was also there at the time, but Lord Xue's attention was basically on Mang Dao Chen Pingan. He actually ignored the commander-in-chief of Weishui!"

"Ignore? No way. Although Mang Dao Chen Ping'an has a high position, Lord Xue has been in a high position for many years and knows how to handle things properly. He shouldn't do anything to favor one over the other."

Hearing this question, the short-bearded man who had spoken earlier showed a smug smile on his face.

"Hehe. You don't know this. Let me tell you, it was very exciting! At that time, Chen Ping, the Rough Blade, had just arrived and had not yet entered the city, but he asked Lord Xue in public, "I hope Lord Xue will not be offended if I come here rashly without an invitation!"

"So tough? What did Master Xue say?"

"Want to hear it?"

"Of course!"

"You paid for the dinner!"

"No problem! But I just want to ask, how do you know so much? Were you at the scene?"

"Yeah! I'm there!"

"So you saw Mangdao Chen Pingan?"

"That's for sure!"

"Tell me quickly, what does he look like? Is he as the rumored one, nine feet tall, with a broad back and strong waist, and a ferocious face that looks like he wants to eat people?"

"Where did you hear this?"

"Don't blame me, just tell me!"

"You just asked me what Master Xue said, and now you're asking this again. Which one do you want to hear?"

"Listen to both!"

"Then you'll treat me to two meals!"

"you"

"."

The others sitting in the restaurant were also very interested in what they were talking about, and they all pricked up their ears to listen carefully. Not far away from them, sitting by the window, was a handsome young man. His eyes were deep and his expression was calm. In front of him were several plates of exquisite cakes and a pot of good tea.

"Let me tell you, although Mang Dao Chen Pingan used to have the nickname Mang Jin Gang, he is not some burly, strong man. On the contrary, he is a handsome young man. If there weren't so many big shots present, shouting in unison, I would have almost thought it was a mistake!"

The sound in his ears continued. Chen Pingan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and the scene not long ago emerged in his mind.

Although Liyang County and Weishui County border each other, the distance between Weishui County and Liyang County is not close. Fortunately, they are all masters of martial arts, so they don't need to rest too much. It didn't take much time to travel all the way.

Long before they arrived at Liyang County City, someone had gone to inform them in advance. That's why Xue Mingde was waiting outside the city gate when they arrived.

Xue Mingde was tall and looked intimidating without even getting angry. However, as he waited outside the city, he was smiling and modest.

As soon as Chen Pingan and others arrived, he welcomed them loudly.

"Master Chen, Master Fan, I am honored to have you here."

The middle and high-level officials of the Zhenfu Division behind Xue Mingde also responded in unison and greeted him respectfully. The standard of courtesy was considered extremely high.

But in that situation, Chen Pingan asked that question, "I hope Lord Xue won't mind if I come here rashly without the invitation."

Although Chen Ping'an's expression was smiling, there was no trace of smile in his eyes.

Xue Mingde cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is from the Liyang Pacification Division. How could Xue, who sincerely invites you, not have an invitation?"

"Oh?" Chen Ping'an's eyebrows flashed with a spiritual light, and in an instant he threw out an official letter of invitation.

"If you don't believe me, Master Xue, you can take a look and see if Chen's name is on this invitation."

Xue Mingde's smile froze and he waved his hand to grab the invitation letter.

Fan Zhengheng on the side looked embarrassed. This invitation letter was the one that Liyang Zhenfu Division had sent at the beginning. Before leaving, Chen Pingan asked for it from him. At that time, he was still wondering what Chen Pingan wanted this invitation letter for, but he never thought it would be used like this.

Xue Mingde quickly glanced through it a few times, his face gradually becoming gloomy and furious.

"You really don't deserve the title of Master Chen! Xue repeatedly warned his subordinates, but they dared to neglect their duties. Investigate! We must investigate thoroughly! I want to see who made such a big mistake!"

After Xue Mingde scolded him a few times, a smile appeared on his face again.

"Master Chen, please don't be offended if my subordinates are not competent enough. I will definitely give Master Chen an explanation for this matter."

At the gate of Liyang County, Xue Mingde had a smile on his face and a humble attitude, completely unlike the temperament he was rumored to have.

Fan Zhengheng stood aside and watched in a daze.

Xue Mingde is a direct descendant of the Xue family. He became famous at a young age and has a spoiled personality. Along the way, he has rarely suffered any losses.

The moment Chen Pingan took out the invitation letter, he thought there would be a fierce battle between the two.

As a result, Xue Mingde bowed his head.

Xue Mingde has the Xue family as his backer and is a powerful pseudo-grandmaster himself. Whether in terms of combat power or background, he is far superior to him. But in front of Chen Pingan, he can only be humble!

Chen Pingan had no idea of ​​Fan Zhengheng's amazement. He only knew that the matter was finally settled with Xue Mingde's submission.

Many people in Liyang County witnessed Xue Mingde bowing his head. Chen Pingan sat high on the carriage frame, flying freely, and entered Liyang County in awe of everyone.

Chen Pingan sat by the window, quietly sipping tea and tasting some cakes from time to time. The cakes in this restaurant tasted pretty good, and Chen Pingan was quite satisfied. In his impression, only the cakes of Qingyalou in the important town of Beicang could be slightly better.

"Let me tell you, at that time, Lord Xue's face turned red and blue. But due to the might of Mang Dao, he finally gave up his pride and bowed his head in submission! Mang Dao sat high on the carriage frame with the sword across his body. That posture... Tsk tsk, it's really hard to describe in words."

"The language is so poor, so poor, Brother Lu! Let me speak!
The young man is armed with a sword and is full of heroic spirit, and the cavalry sits high on the chariot and is firmly on the carriage.

He sits with his sword across his body like a tiger, with thunder and lightning hidden between his brows.

Mr. Xue's face turned red and white, and his heart and courage shook under the pressure.

It was hard to control myself in front of so many people, so I finally lowered my head and calmed down.

The armor shines in the sunlight, and the horses' hooves crush the dust.

The young man's heroic spirit reaches the sky, and the might of his sword shakes the heavens.

With sword in hand and horse in hand, the mountains and rivers are majestic, and his mighty power swallows thousands of miles like a tiger's roar.

The heroic deeds that shook the blue dragon, the lofty aspirations that will never fade. "

"What a great poem, what a great poem, Brother Wang! I didn't expect you to have such talent!?"

"That's natural."

"It's a perfect description of Mang Dao. This is exactly the feeling!"

"."

The flattery continued, and most of the words were praises for Mang Dao. In the middle of the conversation, someone reminded him that there were many people in the restaurant, and they were calling Mr. Mang Dao Chen by his name. Although the man who spoke was a little nervous, he did not show any fear on his face.

"I don't dare to say it in front of Chen Pingan, the reckless swordman. How can I not dare to say it in this restaurant?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and clapped their hands in praise. "Master Lu, you are so brave!"

Seeing everyone making a fuss, the man named Lu's smile became brighter and brighter, and a sense of pride arose in his heart, as if he was not so guilty anymore.

But he didn't stay like this for long, as the noisy sounds around him suddenly died down until they were completely silent.

The man surnamed Lu turned his head and was instantly attracted by the majestic figure coming up the stairs of the restaurant. This was a man as strong as a mountain. Every step he took made the stairs thump, as if even the air was making way for him. His body was broad, like a male bear ready to attack. His palms were like cattail leaves fans, and each finger was thick and powerful, like an ancient pine or cypress branch, revealing a frightening sense of power.

The man surnamed Lu was shocked. Not only was he shocked, but also his good friend who was discussing with him just now.

The big man walked with a steady and powerful pace, and his eyes were sharp as he scanned the surroundings. Wherever he went, people couldn't help but lower their heads, fearing that he would cause any trouble. But there were also some brave people who secretly observed the big man, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

The big man's glance suddenly stopped, and there happened to be a person standing in his direction. The moment his eyes fell, the man looked unwell, his face was pale, his legs were shaking, and he looked at a loss.

"It's over! Something's happened!"

He wailed in his heart, regretting it endlessly. If he had known this would happen, he would have just bowed his head and let it go.

Just as he was trembling with fear, the big man actually showed a humble smile on his face. This smile was inconsistent with his mountain-like strong physique.

Everyone was dumbfounded and stunned.

Just as everyone was stunned, the big man walked past that person, walked a few steps to a seat by the window, and bowed.

"grown ups."

Everyone's eyes were directed there, and they saw a handsome young man sitting by the window. He had a calm expression on his face, and was drinking tea leisurely.

What's going on?
