Although Zhou Qiu had already made a guess in his mind, his name was Pei Qian, the female martial artist, and her bun and clothing were all consistent with those miraculous rumors. In addition, the appearance of the other party triggered mysterious and mysterious phenomena in the world, but it was really

It was so unbelievable that Zhou Qiu couldn't understand why Pei Qian appeared here. She suppressed the confusion in her heart and couldn't help but ask: "But Grandmaster Pei from Luolu Mountain? He once served in the capital of Dali.

On the battlefield, you used the pseudonym Zheng Qian?"

Although in the realm of Hehuan Mountain, Zhou Qiu is not very well-informed due to his status. The dozen or so Shanshui Di newspapers obtained through different channels have all been torn up, but the name of one of the four great masters of Aquarius Continent is unknown.

How could Zhou Qiu not know that the shadow of the famous human tree was on the battlefield of the Capital City, on both sides of the Dadu River, where "Zheng Qingming" killed monsters and saved people without fail, and felt like he was in a deserted place in the monster formation?

Pei Qian cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Sister Zhou, you can't be called a 'grandmaster'."

Zhou Qiu turned to look at the young man carrying the sword. If the woman in front of him was Pei Qian, then who else could Pei Qian call his master?

I used to think that this young man was quite kind-hearted and a good person, but he just liked to talk big, which was really a bit intolerable.

Now that I think about it, it's obvious that the other party was bragging and not drafting, and the words he pretended to be sensational were clearly targeted. It's just that she and Baimao didn't believe it.

Because they were close, Liu Tie had already heard the news and came over.

Zhou Qiu cupped his fists and said: "Dali frontier army, monks accompanying the army in Daliang camp under Su Xunshou, Captain Zhou Qiu, have met Mr. Chen."

The armored man said solemnly: "Liu Tie, the scout commander of Daliangying, has met Mr. Chen!"

Chen Ping'an cupped his fists and returned the greeting, "Chen Ping'an of Da Li Luo Po Mountain has met Zhou Duwei and Liu Biaochang."

Pei Qian was slightly surprised and couldn't help but take another look at Zhou Qiu.

In the old system of the Da Li Frontier Army, the Captain of the Mounted Cavalry was a military commander, the fourth rank, and did not belong to the actual duties of the border army. However, if Zhou Qiu did not die in battle, became a ghost, and was able to leave the battlefield alive, according to the new laws of Da Li, he would get this

A highly valuable martial artist, when she was transferred to the local garrison, she should have started as a fifth-grade military attache with real power. If she had served in the military department of the capital of Dali, Zhou Qiu might have become the chief officer of a certain department. To say the least,

Even if Zhou Qiu is already a heroic spirit, there is no problem in returning to his hometown as usual and enjoying the incense as a county god.

Sitting down again, Zhou Qiu originally wanted to let this world-famous young hidden official take the main seat, but Chen Ping'an still sat where he was.

Chen Ping'an asked: "I once saw the imperial court sending monks, together with the gods of mountains and rivers and the gods of prefectures and cities along the way, to lead the heroes who died in the southern countries of Aquarius Continent back home. Why didn't you follow them back to the north?

?”

Liu Tie hesitated for a moment and briefly explained: "It's just because my colleagues are too obsessed with it. Once they leave the boundary of Hehuan Mountain, they will become confused and lose the last bit of their true spirit. We still have unfulfilled wishes here and are not willing to let this go."

I won’t hesitate to leave, even if I become a lonely ghost.”

Even when facing Chen Ping'an, the armored man still had reservations. After all, the opponent did not have the official status of Da Li, especially as a border soldier.

Zhou Qiu said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing to hide. Li Zhen, the mountain god of Wuteng Mountain Temple, now has a demon monk under his command, named Gu Feng. He is Li Zhen's right-hand man and was once the prostitute temple on the border of Qingxing Kingdom.

The mountain god once secretly colluded with the barbarian army to leak the whereabouts of one of our elite cavalry and suggested setting up an ambush to attack and kill them. In addition to being a monk accompanying the army, I was also responsible for the intelligence of the army. I noticed something was wrong with that temple.

In addition, the demon tribe's military camp was also worried that it was a counter-intentional plan, so they sent a scout to explore the road first. They happened to meet Liu Biao and I on the long and narrow road. There was a sword cultivator hidden among the wild scouts. We were an afterthought, to be precise.

Several years after his death, we found out that the wild sword cultivator was one of the hundreds of sword immortals in Tuoyue Mountain. Of course, the demon tribe’s attempt to set up an ambush to intercept our army came to naught. After all these years, we have no evidence.

, it was just found out that the obscene mountain god had an irreconcilable relationship with Li Zhen in his early years. It is very likely that Li Zhen was the mastermind behind the two assassination attempts. After Zhao Fuyang of Hehuan Mountain knew our identities, he might be afraid of our identities during his lifetime. No.

They killed us all, but allowed us to settle down in Fengle Town. He just said he had the ability to kill the deputy envoy watching the army. He would never ask anything about it. But there is no conclusive evidence and it is purely a personal vendetta. Don't even think about it.

To punish Gu Feng, Zhao Fuyang actually said that as long as we produce evidence, not to mention Gu Feng or Li Zhi, he can personally break his neck and send it to the foot of the mountain."

Chen Pingan nodded, "So, Captain Zhou thinks it is unlikely that Zhao Fuyang and Yu Chunzhi will collude with the wild demon clan?"

Zhou Qiu said: "At least from my side, no signs or clues have been found so far. And according to the style of the Dali intelligence agency, after the war, they will repeatedly screen and verify wartime intelligence. Now that so many years have passed, Hehuan Mountain is still

Still standing, at least in the two intelligence bureaus of the Dali imperial court, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment, they should have been judged to have clean information, and they indeed did not collude with the barbarian army back then."

Liu Tie said: "After all, they are two golden elixirs. If they are not clean, they will not be able to survive today. Da Li's capital is not a vegetarian. I heard that our Luo King has established an intelligence agency directly under his jurisdiction.

The crime is extremely ruthless, and a long list of arrests are often made."

The cotton-clothed Taoist priest finally had a chance to interject and said with a smile: "Pindao is familiar with the vassal king Song Mu. I used to meet him often in the Mu Ping Lane in Huaihuang County, Dalichu Prefecture."

Zhou Qiu and Liu Tie were not sure whether the Taoist priest's words were true or false.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Don't pay attention to him, he is just a cheater."

The Taoist priest said: "At most, it's just eating and drinking. How can you call it a lie?"

More than a dozen armored men were crowded in the alley at the entrance. They all opened their eyes wide and looked at the young man with a sword on his back, the young woman with her hair in a bun, and the cotton-robed Taoist priest in the courtyard.

Most of them have young faces, and the oldest one is just a strong man in his thirties like Liu Tie.

Today, they all found it interesting to see Liu Biaochang, a reckless man who was least particular about etiquette, sitting there with his back straight.

I usually see General So-and-so, but I have never seen Liu Biaochang so well-behaved. He clasped his fists and smiled a few words when they met, but turned around and changed his face to them, and started talking about how I would have delayed my future if I hadn't become a scout.

, Nowadays, it’s still a matter of debate who calls whom a general. A girl is afraid of marrying the wrong man, and a man is afraid of getting into the wrong profession. That’s me. You guys are still laughing. I am an old man after all. What about you bastards...

The so-called usual time is the time when you were alive.

Chen Ping'an said: "Let them all come in and sit down."

Zhou Qiu shook his head and smiled: "No need."

Liu Tie nodded and said: "Let them stay at the door. They are all careless. They have to leave after watching the excitement."

Over at the door, the gathering didn't seem noisy, but some people couldn't help but ask.

"Chen Pingan, how high is the top of the Sword Qi Great Wall?"

"Coupled with the fact that Haoran has rushed to the aid of sword cultivators from all continents, there are really hundreds of thousands of sword cultivators on the Great Wall of Sword Qi? Chen Ping'an, is the hidden official you are working as an official? How old is he, and does he have good character?"

Liu Tie glared and said, "How dare you, you can also call Mr. Chen by his name?"

Zhou Qiu narrowed his eyes with a smile and said, "Don't call me by my first name. Just call me Mr. Chen."

Liu Tie said helplessly: "It's nonsense."

The armored man shouted towards the door: "Behave yourself, Mr. Chen is a close disciple of Wen Sheng and a scholar! You bastards, don't embarrass Daliang Ying!"

"Mr. Chen, I am from Yancang County, Yunzhou, which is very close to Longzhou. My ancestors were all businessmen and often went to Hongzhu Town."

"Mr. Chen, I am from Songyou County, Gyeonggi Province. I heard from my second uncle that he studied at Shanya Academy when he was young, and Chief Qi Shan taught them punishment and arithmetic."

Pei Qian raised his head and looked at a roof. It was Qi Song, the chief guest of the Zhang family in Tiancao County, a martial artist in the Golden Body.

Having noticed the strange phenomenon coming from here before, Qi Song was frightened and couldn't help but come here to find out.

Just by looking at her, the bearded old man suppressed the doubts in his heart, gathered his voice into a line, and asked tentatively: "Zheng Qian?"

Monks who have been to the battlefield of Dali Capital, especially pure martial artists, will never fail to recognize the female master "Zheng Saqian".

Pei Qian nodded.

Qi Song immediately registered his number.

Pei Qian clasped his fists in return and said, "I have long admired your name."

It seems that the Zhang family in Tiancao County has an old family master who is in the Golden Core Realm. He and she once met each other in the capital city. They just met and never talked to her.

Of course, Qi Song knew that these were just polite words from Grandmaster Pei, but he already felt that the trip was worthwhile and his face was honorable. He turned around to talk to Mr. Zhang Qiong and Cheng Qian.

Seeing that the courtyard was bustling and Qi Song was an old man, he stopped asking for trouble. He just said a few words and invited Grandmaster Pei to have a drink with him anytime he had time.

Chen Ping'an said: "Miss Zhou, brother Liu, I will help you draw a magic walking talisman and a spiritual protection talisman respectively. Please go home. As for Li Zhi and Gu Feng here, leave them to me."

Liu Tie looked at Zhou Qiu. Zhou Qiu was also a little embarrassed. He rejected the other party's kindness and seemed pretentious. He agreed, but he always felt empty and unfulfilled.

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "There is no need to rush about this matter. I will take Pei Qian to Hehuan Mountain first to join in the fun. Whether you want to go or stay, we will discuss the result first and wait until we get down from the mountain. There are also arrangements for leaving.

There are opinions about whether to stay or not. In fact, there is no problem, so there is no need to be embarrassed."

Zhou Qiu and Liu Tie stood up and clasped their fists in thanks.

Zhou Qiu's mood was complicated. The sword-carrying young man with a terrifying identity in front of him seemed to be a completely different person after his identity was revealed.

She really couldn't combine the images of the straw-shoe boy from before, with his arrogant words and out-of-touch personality, with the young hidden official with a steady personality and thoughtfulness in front of her.

Liu Tie left the yard first and led the group of scouts and heroes under his command who shared life and death to make way for them. Even though they were so "noisy" and talkative tonight, they all had their own problems.

But in fact, for so many years, whether they were riding in groups in the night or gathering together in the back alleys of Fengle Town, they were ghosts and often taciturn.

Walking in the shady alley, Pei Qian put a piece of dough carefully made by an old chef on her face. She turned her head, stretched out her fingers, gently kneaded and smoothed her temples, and then turned her head, she was a girl with slightly yellow skin and freckles.

Yes, the tip of my nose is dotted with freckles.

Pei Qian talked about the process of visiting the ruins, but she deliberately skipped some details.

Even if she concentrated her voice into a line and whispered to the master, given the level of the Baiyu Jinglu Headmaster, it would definitely be no different than speaking with a loud voice.

"According to Mr. Zhong's calculations, the ruins have been there for a very long time, suppressing a senior on the mountain who is difficult to judge in terms of good and evil. Just because the time has been so long, the text and Taoist meaning of the stone tablet have almost disappeared. In addition,

The broken mountains and rivers of Tongyezhou have affected the stability of the stone tablet, so there are signs of being broken out of the ground in advance. The stone tablet shakes and often collides with the long river of time, just like opening up a forked road connecting Youming. The river bed is uncertain in its ebb and flow.

, only those two monks accidentally entered it and did not drown in the water."

Lu Chen originally planned to just be an audience and just listen to a storyteller for free, but Shanzhu Chen had already asked Master Lu what his opinions were, so he had to say: "It's probably the work of Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou. This

In the ruins, the person who was suppressed by the stone tablet and the copper coin sword was a military monk who almost went crazy a long time ago. Therefore, Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou personally took action and erected a monument and placed the sword to prevent her from getting out of trouble. It was both a victory and a victory.

She is a kind of well-intentioned protector. If not, even though the world is huge and the legal net is wide and open, with her consistent temper and behavior, she will definitely not hesitate to kill every fish in the net, and there will be no place for her in the world."

It's just that Lu Chen didn't tell everything, but I believe that with Master Chen's knowledge, he must have guessed the identity of the other party.

The woman holding the basket who tried to take away the copper coin sword was the second ancestor of the military strategist and the Taoist companion of the first ancestor of the military strategist.
