Chapter 888 Some Small Things

Listening to these words, Li Chaohai couldn't help but feel shaken. If anyone had told him that one day the Daliang Dynasty would make the world's monks bow their heads and use Daliang Law as the only criterion in this world, he would have scoffed.

But when Chen Chao spoke about it, he believed it.

Because the young guardian in front of him has accomplished many things, and will definitely accomplish more.

In the past two hundred years of the Daliang Dynasty, it cannot be said that no outstanding people were born. The emperors of the past dynasties were all great figures. Even Emperor Lingzong, who is criticized the most by the world, actually did the same for Daliang when he was in power. Many things have allowed Daliang's national strength to grow steadily.

However, after two hundred years, the eyes of the people will probably only fall on the last ten years, starting from the time when Emperor Liang ascended the throne, and now since the young guardian envoy took up the position of guardian.

These uncle and nephew were the two most important people in the Liang Dynasty.

"His Majesty……"

Li Chaohai hesitated for a moment and wanted to ask if His Majesty the Emperor was still there. Although the prince had overseen the country in the past two years, the people still missed His Majesty the Emperor very much.

Chen Chao glanced at Li Chaohai and said nothing.

The latter hurriedly lowered his head and said, "This official made a mistake, please forgive me."

Chen Chao laughed it off.

"There is no rule in Daliang Dynasty not to let people talk, but no one knows whereabouts of His Majesty. I believe that His Majesty is just watching us somewhere."

As he spoke, Chen Chao patted Li Chaohai on the shoulder, then took out a pill from his arms and handed it to him. Chen Chao's own injuries could not be cured by ordinary pills, but the guard in front of him could not be cured by ordinary pills. In the Sea of ​​Bitterness Realm, an ordinary pill is actually enough.

"Thank you, sir, for the medicine."

Chen Chao glanced at him, narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "Let's join hands later. How much older am I than you? I can probably be half of your master. Can I help you see?"

If Chen Chao's gift of medicine just now was nothing to Li Chaohai, after all, the gift of a pill was a bit short of saying it could win people's hearts, but if he really wanted to teach himself martial arts, it would definitely be Not a common thing.

Nowadays, there are rumors in the world that after the former general passed away and His Majesty the Emperor traveled far away, the warriors in this world who can take the lead are the current Northern General Ning Ping and the Lord Guardian.

After Mobei, let alone others, these military attachés of the Guarding Envoy line have probably determined that Chen Chao is the well-deserved number one martial artist in the world.

What is even more frightening is that this unparalleled martial artist is only in his early twenties, and is still some distance from his thirties.

Being able to teach him personally would be a supreme honor for other warriors in the world.

This is enough to make people excited.

…

…

Before dawn, Chen Chao left Guihua County and took the lantern with him.

Li Chaohai waited at the city gate until dawn, then turned and left.

…

…

Continuing south from Guihua County, we are already in Tiannan.

Except for the division of Kyushu in the Liang Dynasty, many of the sayings are actually spread among the people. For example, the so-called Tiannan, Lingnan and Lingbei were passed down orally from generation to generation.

Although the imperial court acquiesced, this was generally not the case in terms of writing. Therefore, it actually took Baichuan Pavilion a lot of effort to find the sect where the man belonged.

The sect has an unusual name, called Wanfu Sect.

Just outside the town of Qingtan on a hill.

It is said that the people there have always thought that the small sect on the mountain is not the residence of the immortal family, but a village where bandits gather.

Fortunately, no robberies have occurred in Qingtan Town in recent years. Otherwise, the sect outside the town would probably be blamed for something big or small.

When Chen Chao came to this town carrying a lantern, it happened to be dark at night, so the lantern naturally came in handy. Otherwise, if he carried a lantern in broad daylight, everyone would probably say that he looked sick. This guy is not only weak physically, but also has brain problems.

There was no curfew in the town, so when Chen Chao came in, he was not hindered. However, the young warrior took the initiative to stop at the entrance of the town.

There were already two people waiting here.

There are two women, one is a little older and can be called a woman, but her charm is still there. She is not only tall, but also has a broad chest, unlike ordinary women.

The other woman looks much younger. Her face cannot be said to be stunning, but she is also a perfect beauty. I think in a few years, after she grows, she will look much prettier. However, although she has the same slender figure, she is still a certain beauty. In terms of scenery, the woman next to him is much different.

In fact, women in the world are just like all kinds of flowers, yellow and white, pretty and pretty, all different.

It's just that men in the world have different preferences. Some women are not worth mentioning in the eyes of some people, but in the eyes of some people they are stunning in the world.

There's no way to tell.

After seeing Chen Chao, the woman came up to him. After giving him a blessing, she smiled softly and said, "My lord, it's been a long journey. Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Chao smiled and shook his head and said, "It's not hard to say the least. It's just a bit of walking. But it's you who are doing something not simple that is really hard."

The woman smiled and said, "As you say, it's like eating honey. After one mouthful, there's no trace of bitterness left?"

Chen Chao said with a smile, "No matter how hard it is, my salary will not be more than a copper coin."

"It's okay. You can put it in your own pocket, so that you can get more wives and concubines for yourself. After all, if your martial arts talent like this is not passed down, wouldn't it be a pity for the Liang Dynasty?"

Although the woman has a soft voice, her posture is not that low. Compared with the previous Li Chaohai, she can be said to be of two types.

Some are neither humble nor arrogant.

Chen Chao said helplessly, "I heard about your reputation as Mrs. Hongyun before I came here. Now that I see you, your reputation is indeed well-deserved."

The woman in front of me was originally the wife of the sect leader of a small sect outside the country. That sect was called the Hongyun Sect. Later, because of some conflicts between the Hongyun Sect and another sect, in fact, it was still that sect. The sect started provoking a fight, but the Hongyun Sect was too small and there was no strong person in the sect, so it suffered the disaster of annihilation. Even the sect leader died in that fight. After that, Mrs. Hongyun escaped by chance, and happened to meet a With the help of officials from Baichuan Pavilion, Daliang sent strong men to avenge Madam Hongyun. After that, Madam Hongyun no longer had any intention of establishing the Hongyun Sect anymore.

So he threw himself into Baichuan Pavilion.

Today, she is considered the third most powerful figure in Bailu Prefecture, and is in charge of several counties including Guihua County.

After receiving news from above that a big shot was coming to Qingtan Town, Mrs. Hongyun was thinking about what kind of big shot he was. After making some calculations, she finally determined that the person coming was the world-famous young martial artist, so She took the initiative to show up in this town, otherwise she would have made arrangements but would not show up in person.

Not even taking this young woman beside him.

Mrs. Hongyun clicked her tongue and said, "For a moment, I really can't tell whether the guardian envoy is complimenting me or saying something that I can't understand."

Chen Chao smiled bitterly. It was clearly stated in the Baichuan Pavilion's files that this Mrs. Hongyun was from the old Shu region. She had a very aggressive temperament, just like the peppers over there. It didn't matter whether you were the boss or not, I'm afraid this was a sign of restraint. The result after that.

However, although Mrs. Hongyun has such a temper, she really can't find any faults in her work. After joining Baichuan Pavilion in these years, she has never failed in anything she has done.

Therefore, even if Chen Chao wanted to beat the other party, he could not find a reason.

Chen Chao simply stopped talking and looked at Mrs. Hongyun silently.

Mrs. Hongyun was startled, and said with a smile on her face, "What's wrong, sir, you still have such a hobby? But although you are young and promising, your face is not handsome enough, and your subordinates can't look down on it."

Chen Chao was defeated again and said helplessly, "Please Madam Hongyun take me to my residence."

Mrs. Hongyun was dissatisfied and said, "Why is the guard's eyesight so poor at such a young age? Is it because the sky is dark and I can't see clearly, but I seem to be looking at you with a lantern?"

Chen Chao had no choice but to ask, "Hello, girl."

The young woman who had been silent all this time and didn't know what to say hurriedly gave a blessing after hearing these words.

"I've seen the guardian envoy."

Chen Chao laughed it off.

Mrs. Hongyun was still smiling, and she said no more after that. Instead, she led Chen Chao into the town, walked for about half a quarter of an hour, and stopped in front of a house.

This is a street-facing courtyard, not big or inconspicuous.

Mrs. Hongyun handed a bunch of keys to Chen Chao and asked with a smile, "My lord, the guardian envoy, would you like me to hire some maids for you? If necessary, we have them here."

Chen Chao shook his head and said calmly, "Don't worry, I will stay here for a while, maybe more than ten days, maybe a few months. You don't have to worry about it during this period. If I have anything I need, I will inform my wife."

Mrs. Hongyun said in surprise, "Sir, looking at this, don't you need some magic medicine?"

Chen Chao glanced at Mrs. Hongyun in front of him and said nothing this time.

"Your Majesty does not want my subordinates to disturb you, so I will leave first."

Mrs. Hongyun is someone who knows how to advance and retreat. When she spoke before, she was actually observing Chen Chao's reaction. Those words were all said under the premise that Chen Chao was not angry. Now seeing that the young guardian envoy was already a little angry, she directly Stop it, no more hesitation.

Chen Chao didn't say anything. After Mrs. Hongyun left, he reached out and took off the lantern in his hand, hung it at the door, then opened the door and walked in.

After Mrs. Hongyun and the woman walked out of a street, the woman couldn't help but timidly said, "Madam..."

Mrs. Hongyun then stopped and turned to look at the woman beside her who had always treated her as a daughter. She sighed and said, "Don't you see that the Lord Guardian has no feelings for you at all?"

The woman's watery eyes were full of doubts, "How could..."

Maybe he has always been scheming, but he has to pay more attention to such a girl who has no city. On weekdays, he is reluctant to hit and scold her. I heard that she has admired Chen Chao for a long time, and this time he also brought her with him. At your side.

It's just that this girl is too stupid sometimes.

"I said that, but he just said hello and didn't even ask for your name. You are really stupid. If he didn't ask, wouldn't you take the initiative to say it?"

Mrs. Hongyun sighed. She really had never seen a girl who was more stupid than the woman in front of her. She was obviously interested in people and knew that the possibility of the two of them getting together was slim, but she didn't even seize the slim chance. .

So stupid, so infuriating.

The woman groaned first, then turned around and was about to walk back. Mrs. Hongyun grabbed her arm and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The woman said of course, "I'll tell you my name."

Mrs. Hongyun lamented, "Little ancestor, this is not how you do things."

The woman looked confused and even a little aggrieved.

Mrs. Hongyun said patiently, "Tonight is no longer suitable. I will find you some good old wild ginseng to send to him tomorrow. Then you can wear something cooler and talk to him more." Men, in my opinion, all have the same virtue. If it doesn’t work once, just do it a few times. In short, there is a way. I don’t believe that he is hard-hearted, but this kind of thing should be done slowly, and there is no need to rush. "

"Don't worry about it. Since you don't want to give up, then I will help you."

…

…

At dawn the next day, Chen Chao opened the courtyard door and planned to eat a steamed bun shop across the street. Last night, he took a look and saw that it should be a steamed bun shop, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw a woman standing there. In front of him, he held a box in his arms, his face slightly red from the cold.

Summer has not yet begun at this time of year, especially in the south, it is indeed very cold at night.

Not knowing when this woman came, Chen Chao frowned. The injuries on his body were too serious, so he didn't waste his energy on sensing outside. He even turned off his consciousness and breath adjustment last night.

"Sir, this is the wild ginseng that Mrs. Hongyun found. She said she wanted to replenish it, so I sent it to you early in the morning."

The woman rubbed her eyes, handed over the ginseng in her hand, and then showed a bright smile.

If it were Mrs. Hongyun, he might say a few words with a straight face, but since the person in front of him is this woman, there is no need. After all, even a fool can see that the woman in front of him is not really a deep-seated person. .

Chen Chao accepted the wild ginseng and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Hongyun, for me."

The woman nodded and said that she would definitely tell her.

Then the woman stood there, neither speaking nor saying she wanted to leave.

Chen Chao thought for a while and said, "Let's have breakfast together?"

The woman nodded, obviously overjoyed.

Afterwards, the two of them went to the bun shop opposite to eat buns and ordered a basket of buns. Before Chen Chao even moved his chopsticks, the woman in front of him had already picked up one and started eating it.

"Sir, the steamed buns here are actually average. Liu Ji's steamed buns here in Qingtan Town are good. Last time I came here, I figured them all out. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, can I take you there to eat?"

The woman was eating the buns, her mouth was slurred, but she kept talking.

Chen Chao picked up a steamed bun, raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "It's not just steamed buns that we eat."

The woman hummed? Then she thought about it seriously, but still didn't think clearly, but in the end she blushed for some reason.

Chen Chao ignored her and just looked at the door over there. About an hour later, a woman came here with a little girl.

He sat on the table not far from him.

Chen Chao raised his eyebrows.

Of course, eating steamed buns was just a casual thing. As the guardian of the Liang Dynasty, he naturally had to do something.

In the next quarter of an hour, Chen Chao looked at the little girl over there from time to time, but the little girl over there was always eating steamed buns.

After eating the buns, the little girl got up and left. Chen Chao also got up and wanted to return to the small courtyard.

The woman who had eaten a lot of steamed buns also got up and followed Chen Chao back to the courtyard entrance.

Chen Chao stood there, looked at the woman and said, "Girl, you can go back."

The woman's lips were a little oily, probably from the oil she got from eating steamed buns before, but even so, she didn't look greasy.

In fact, few women in the world look greasy.

The woman hesitated for a moment, but did not leave. She just gritted her teeth and said, "But you haven't asked me my name yet."

Chen Chao remained silent. If he wanted to, he could naturally know the name of the woman in front of him, but he knew that this woman was interested in him, so he did not want to add extraneous details and get more sentimental.

Although knowing that others like you is the other person's business, if you can cut it off early, it is best to cut it off early.

The woman gritted her teeth and suddenly showed a bright smile again, "Sir, my name is Su Hu."

Chen Chao nodded helplessly.

"knew."

In the next few days, Chen Chao would go to the bun shop to eat buns on time every day, and he would also see the little girl coming to eat buns on time. The two never talked or even crossed paths.

As for the woman named Su Hu, she has not appeared again these days. It is the order that Chen Chao gave Mrs. Hongyun after that day, and she must abide by it unconditionally.

A few days later, at dusk, Chen Chao arrived at the largest restaurant in the town.

In fact, it's not too big in terms of size. It's just a small two-story tavern.

Chen Chao came to the second floor of the restaurant and found a place to sit down. Then he raised his eyebrows and unexpectedly met an old acquaintance here.

In fact, they are not old acquaintances. They have met once before. In Huanglongzhou, a drunken swordsman patted him on the shoulder and admonished him. Chen Chao was not angry and just let him go. He patted the shoulder and was even polite afterward.

But after the sword cultivator knew his identity, he was really sweating.

Now that they met again, Chen Chao did not expect that they would be in such a small restaurant.

The sword cultivator was still drunk and was not far in front of him.

So when the other party spoke, Chen Chao heard it clearly.

"We have already drunk so much wine today. I have a secret that I have kept hidden for a long time. Now I really want to tell it to you. No one can stop me!" The drunken sword cultivator suddenly spoke in a loud voice, which immediately attracted the attention of others.

His friend at the same table hurriedly pulled him and frowned, saying, "Keep your voice down. Don't tell out the secrets of the cultivation world."

This drunken sword cultivator was born in this small town. Later, he was spotted by a sword cultivator who passed by and was accepted as his disciple. From then on, he began to practice hard. However, after so many years, although his sword cultivation realm is still okay, he never regarded himself as a great person. He often returned to his hometown, that is, this small town, to have a big drink with his childhood friends from time to time.

The original intention of returning to the town this time was actually because he had been disrespectful to the town garrison commander before, so he thought that he would take revenge no matter what, and he had no face to stay in the sect. Therefore, after watching the sword sect leader draw his sword, he returned to his hometown. He had been living in fear these days, thinking that he would only have a few days to live.

So he got drunk every day.

It was not until he received a letter from the sect two days ago asking why he had not returned that the drunken sword cultivator suddenly realized that the sect was still there and everything was calm.

He had not been liquidated.

In other words, the town garrison commander was not the murderer as rumored, and he would not be liquidated for what he did at that time.

After knowing that he had escaped a disaster, the drunken sword cultivator invited his friends to drink here again today.

At this moment, the drunken swordsman was drunk. Listening to his friend's admonition, he smiled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can I know the secrets of the cultivation world?" After saying this, the drunken swordsman pressed his friend's head and laughed loudly, "Everyone, do you know that garrison commander? That warrior who likes to wear black clothes and hangs a sword on his waist. He was in Huanglongzhou at that time. He stood in front of me. I patted his shoulder and gave him some small suggestions. Guess what happened in the end? Hey, the garrison commander stood in front of me and said that he would definitely change next time. Hahaha, do you know the weight of being able to pat his shoulder? How many people in the world can pat his shoulder like this? Hahaha..." The drunken swordsman laughed loudly, and the sound was so loud that everyone in the restaurant could hear it clearly. No one didn't hear it. However, no one in the restaurant took it seriously. They just thought that the drunken swordsman in front of them drank too much and said some drunken words. Pat the garrison commander on the shoulder? After giving him a lesson, he still dared not refute?

Listen, is there a word in this that can be believed?

Who do you think you are? You can see our garrison commander just by saying that you can see him?

Just pat a young man in a black robe on the street and say that you patted the garrison commander's shoulder? There is another young man in a black robe here, why don't you say that he is the garrison commander?

The drinkers just treated this as a joke, and no one cared. However, the drunk swordsman's friend lowered his voice and asked, "Did you really do this to the garrison commander?"

He had known the other party for many years, so he naturally knew what kind of person he was. Even if he was drunk, he naturally believed that he would not say something that did not happen.

The drunken swordsman sneered, "Do you think I was lying to you? At that time in the restaurant, I was here and he was over there, yes, that person's place, I just stood up and walked over there..."

The drunken swordsman walked towards Chen Chao while talking, and after three or two steps, he came to Chen Chao's current position, stretched out his hand and gestured in the air, and laughed, "That's how I patted the garrison commander at that time...ah..."

As the drunken swordsman spoke, he accidentally glanced at the appearance of the young man in front of him, and was surprised at first. , and then rubbed his eyes again, wondering, "Lord, the town garrison commander?"

Before the pale Chen Chao could speak, the drunken swordsman said to himself, "It's over, it's over, the town garrison commander still doesn't intend to let me go, and he's coming to my door. You guys run quickly, and I guess everyone in the town will suffer... No, you can't run away, who can run away if he wants to kill people?"

Chen Chao sat there, feeling helpless. This encounter was just a coincidence, and he really didn't want to find this person to settle accounts later.

Originally, the original matter was not taken seriously.

However, as soon as Chen Chao stood up and wanted to say something, the drunken swordsman had already run out, and Chen Chao had to give up. Instead, his friend first muttered that this guy's drinking habits had indeed deteriorated after he went out, and then apologized to Chen Chao, and then went out to look for people.

Chen Chao smiled helplessly, and when he turned around, he happened to see a family of three in front of a table not far away.

The man brought his wife and his daughter.

Chen Chao happened to have seen all three of them.

The man said something to his wife and daughter, and then walked towards Chen Chao. When he came to the table, this man who was almost a hermit looked at Chen Chao and asked directly, "If I punch now, how many punches do you think you can take?"

Chen Chao looked at him indifferently and asked curiously, "When did a Forget Worry Warrior dare to talk to me like this?"

The man smiled calmly and said, "Maybe not at ordinary times, but according to your current injury, you probably can't take a few punches from me, right?"

Chen Chao said, sighed, and whispered, "My wife and daughter are watching now. If you really want to fight, I will not show mercy."

The man frowned and was about to speak when a fist hit him in front of him. The young man who looked sick here punched awkwardly, but the man didn't dodge, as if he didn't react or seemed to He didn't bother to hide, but anyway, the final result was that the punch hit him firmly on the chest. The man took a few steps back, and when he tried to punch back, he found that the energy in his body was in chaos and he couldn't punch at all.

Chen Chao, who withdrew his fist, coughed a few times and said, "You can shout a few words while I'm injured. If I'm not injured, you will die with this punch."

The man was silent.

Chen Chao sat down again and said calmly, "The punch has been thrown, it's time for the sect leader to talk about something serious. Since you are willing to come to see me, it shouldn't be as simple as punching, right?"

The man nodded, turned to look at his wife and daughter, squeezed out a smile, and said it was okay. Then he sat down and asked straight to the point, "I would like to ask, sir, if I haven't come to see you, would you like some more?" Any other means?"

Chen Chao raised his eyebrows and said, "Other means? For example, coercing your wife and children to make you work for me, Daliang?"

The man didn't speak, he obviously thought so.

Chen Chao sneered and said, "Why do I, Emperor Taizong, want to buy horse bones with thousands of gold? That is to let the world know that I love horses and am willing to come. Why did I, Your Majesty, cross Mobei in person? It is to let the world know that the common people have It is not natural for my son to be sent to the north to work for his life, and there is no reason for the emperor to sit back and relax in the capital city. As for why I want to go to Mobei to fight, just to show off my hero?"

"I don't like to do such despicable things. If I did it, would Chen Wannian take the initiative to write to you?"

Chen Chao narrowed his eyes and sneered.

The man looked a little ashamed. He had not been very good with Chen Chao before and thought that the young guard envoy was too deep and very calculating.

But after returning, Chen Wannian's letter was one thing, and the other thing was that he actually heard about what Chen Chao was doing in Mobei.

A thousand words are worth an action.

With such a thing going on, he didn't think Chen Chao would be that kind of person.

In addition, he has been observing Chen Chao for a long time.

In fact, as early as when Chen Chao paid attention to his daughter, he also asked his daughter to observe him.

Of course the price is not big, just a few bunches of candied haws.

The man thought for a while and said, "When I was practicing boxing when I was young, I thought about smashing these injustices with one punch. Later I found that a person's power was really limited, so I thought about being alone. In fact, it was also a disappointment to the world. But in these years, Daliang, in fact, Let me see some light. Your Majesty is the hero, but your Majesty left too early..."

"I had the intention, but...now that I know that your Excellency is not inferior to His Majesty, it is really a great thing."

"Jiang Wanfu is willing to use the strength of the whole clan to serve Daliang. If he dies in Mobei, he will regard it as his final destination. But please treat the living people well."

Chen Chao looked at the man who suddenly said these words and said with a smile, "I thought it would take a lot of effort to be able to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Sect Leader Jiang."

Yes, Chen Chao had long planned to deal with this Wangyou warrior while recuperating here, and a few months was only the minimum plan.

His plan is to take about half a year.

But if you can recruit a Wangyou warrior in half a year, it's not a loss.

The man chuckled, but then said garrulously, "May I ask where the injury came from, sir? Is it the Sword Sect leader?"

Chen Chao shook his head and said, "Master Wu Hao is still alive. He is back and has a higher level."

The man was startled.

He naturally knows what kind of existence Master Wu Hao is, and he knows better what it means to have a higher realm.

But what Chen Chao said next shocked him even more.

Chen Chao said calmly, "I found a few people to kill him."

"eight thousand"
