The Great Martial Saint!

Zhao Tieshan knelt on the ground with his forehead pressed against the ground. He felt shocked and frightened, as if his heart was filled with turmoil.

Almost. I almost bumped into the adults!
Everyone knows the name of the Rough Knife Chen Pingan. How many unruly people have been killed by his sword. If he had caused dissatisfaction from the other party just now, his life would be in danger.

Fortunately, he had the honor of seeing the adult's portrait before. With just a quick glance, he was inspired and miraculously recognized the other person's identity.

Lord Guardian?

The scene of Zhao Tieshan kneeling and shouting stunned the people around him for a moment, and then they all responded by kneeling on the ground and bowing their heads: "Greetings, Lord Guardian, may you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."

The sound echoed around, seeming particularly solemn.

Chen Ping'an's expression was calm. His eyes swept across the people in front of him and finally fell on Zhao Tieshan.

He met several groups of people along the way, but no one could recognize his identity. Unexpectedly, someone appeared here who knew him.

"Get up." Chen Pingan said slowly.

"Thank you for your grace, sir." Zhao Tieshan stood up quickly as if he had been pardoned, but he still lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Chen Pingan. Several officers behind him also stood up, but they all looked nervous and did not dare to breathe.

Who among them wouldn't be nervous to see the new town guardian here! ?

The person in front of them, with the slightest move, was enough to determine their fate.

Although there is still a long distance from the main gate of the Beicang town, the shouting just now has obviously attracted the attention of the people who were welcoming them in front of the town. There was a faint noise in the distance. Chen Pingan glanced at the distance and smiled at the people in front of him: "The terrain of the Canglong Mountains is complicated, and patrolling is not easy. You have worked hard."

Zhao Tieshan was stunned and said he didn't dare.

"It is an honor for us to serve you, my Lord!"

According to rumors, Chen Ping'an, the Rough Blade, was domineering and unyielding. But the man in front of him was unexpectedly gentle, making him feel as if he were in a dream.

It was not just Zhao Tieshan who had similar thoughts, but also several people in the patrol team. Those who were qualified to join the patrol team were the backbone of the Beicang Town Pacification Division. In recent days, the news of the new deputy town guard had spread widely. They also discussed this new town guard privately. Whenever they discussed it, they were worried about the future prospects.

But today, this garrison commander was completely beyond their expectations. He was not as overbearing and tyrannical as the rumors said, but rather had the gentleness of a young master from an aristocratic family.

The thoughts of Zhao Tieshan and others were soon interrupted by a big man holding a door panel.

Xiong Sanrang was the fastest. He walked up to them, knelt on one knee, and saluted with his fists clasped.

"I am Xiong Sanrang, your humble servant, and I am here to see you, sir."

With Xiong Sanrang's position in the Pacification Department, he didn't need to perform such a ceremony when meeting Chen Pingan. But now, his ceremony was meaningful.

"Get up." Chen Pingan said lightly.

"Yes, sir." Xiong Sanrang stood up immediately.

The welcoming ceremony was huge. In addition to Xue Kunsheng and a group of middle and high-level officials from the Beicang Town, there were also representatives from many forces in the important town of Beicang. From a distance, it was a huge crowd. However, although the team seemed chaotic, it was actually well-organized with clear distinctions between high and low.

Chen Ping'an had a calm and composed expression as he stood there, looking at the people who had come to greet him.

"I am Xue Kunsheng, the alternate garrison commander of Beicang. I respectfully welcome Master Chen to take up his post in Beicang!"

Xue Kunsheng was all smiles, and before anyone came close, he greeted them loudly.

"Lord Xue." Chen Pingan smiled and bowed in return.

Vajra Demon Subduing Chain, Xue Kunsheng!
The other party had a great reputation. He had heard of the other party's reputation more than once before the Long'an Trade Route was officially put into operation.

A master on the Dragon and Tiger List, he is stationed in Beicang, holding a high position and power. He is a well-known figure around the Long'an business route!
When he first came to Beicang, he had seen the other party from afar, and his power was indeed extraordinary.

However, when they met again today, the famous Xue Kunsheng had become his subordinate.

"Canglong Xue Family."

Chen Pingan looked at Xue Kunsheng with a gentle expression, and a hint of coldness rose in his heart. It had only been a short time since the Qiyao Meridian Sealing Master Xue Shishun intended to kill him.

"It would be fine if Xue Kunsheng was sensible, but if he is not..." A similar thought flashed through Chen Pingan's mind.

To him, people like Xue Kunsheng could be killed with ease and were not worth wasting too much energy and thought on.

"It is a blessing for Beicang that Mr. Chen is appointed to the post of Beicang."

Xue Kunsheng showed no clue of what was going on and just smiled and said some pleasantries.

The game between the two of them made him underestimate Chen Pingan. Chen Pingan looked younger than he had imagined, but the opponent's tactics were far more sophisticated than he had expected.

Combining the previous rumors and the Xue family's letters, Xue Kunsheng became more cautious. When it comes to family interests, everything should be considered carefully!
Chen Pingan smiled faintly and greeted Xue Kunsheng, then his attention fell on the people behind Xue Kunsheng. As soon as Chen Pingan's eyes fell, the people behind him immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully.

"I, Liu Gongxi, pay my respects to Lord Chen!"

"I, Ma Yuanbang, greet the governor!"

"Humble position."

With Xiong Sanrang setting an example, everyone knelt on one knee and saluted with their fists clasped.

This kneeling confirmed his status. Everyone shouted in unison and knelt on one knee. The scene was extremely shocking. Invisibly, Chen Ping'an's figure seemed to be infinitely elevated.

"No need to formalities, everyone, please stand up." Chen Pingan raised his hands and said with a faint smile.

"Thank you for your grace, sir." Everyone stood up together.

Chen Pingan came to take up the post this time as the chief official of a place. No matter who they were, everyone present was nominally his subordinate.

Not only the people from the Beicang Pacification Office, but also the representatives of major forces in the important town, all have to rely on him to survive.

"My name is Gu Hongxiu, nice to meet you, Lord Governor." A plump woman in a red dress walked up to Chen Ping'an with graceful lotus steps and bowed, looking like a blooming red peony.

As soft as silk, Gu Hongxiu!

Chen Ping'an looked at the woman in the red dress in front of him, and information records about her emerged in his mind.

Gu Hongxiu, the representative of the Leiminggu family in the important town of Beicang. Ranked 119th on the Dragon and Tiger List, her combat power is comparable to that of a powerful pseudo-grandmaster. Under the power of Mingxia's silk-wrapping power, she is even stronger than the likes of Qiankunsi Feng Chengxiu.

"Mrs. Gu, there's no need to be so polite." Chen Pingan returned the greeting with a smile.

Although he had just arrived, with the help of the intelligence from the Gu family, he had a very deep understanding of the meteorological patterns in the important town of Beicang.

The three great Canglong families put more of their interests in the important town of Long'an, while in Northern Cang, they are more integrated into the systems of Qiankun Division and Zhenfu Division to seek benefits. On the contrary, there are many benefits that are directly put on the table.

If the three great families are excluded, the Leiminggu family is the top force in the important town of Beicang. Gu Hongxiu's eyebrows moved, as if she had thousands of words to say. But the current situation is special, and she did not say much due to the situation. After a salute, she stepped back, her eyes full of affection and attachment, looking straight at Chen Pingan.

It must be said that although Gu Hongxiu is not young, she has a lot of capital. Especially considering her status, when she looks at someone affectionately like this, not everyone can bear it.

However, under such gazes, Chen Pingan felt no ripples in his heart and simply ignored it.

First of all, no matter who is here today, as long as he is the deputy governor of Beicang, Gu Hongxiu's gaze will not change at all. The other party is not looking at him, but at the aura on him.

Secondly, Gu Hongxiu's ability to sit in this position represents the interests of the Leiminggu family in the important town of Beicang. Chen Pingan doesn't believe that the other party is a love-minded naive person. Under this seemingly affectionate gaze, who knows what the other party is thinking in his heart. No matter what the other party does, it is only for the family.

Chen Pingan saw it clearly and understood everything in his mind, so he naturally would not indulge in this affectionate and admiring gaze.

"Being ignored!?" Gu Hongxiu felt a little surprised.

Since ancient times, heroes have been sad for beauty.

Although she was older, she was also a rare beauty when she was young. Especially now that she had a higher status, the older sister looked at the other party with such admiration, and the other party would definitely not remain indifferent.

According to her assumption, Mang Dao was successful at a young age, and had been smooth sailing all the way. His martial arts heart might be strong, but his character was definitely not so mature. Under her gaze, there should be many reactions.

but now
Seeing Chen Ping'an's indifferent look, Gu Hongxiu felt secretly annoyed.

Are you reckless and act without restraint?
This Rough Blade Chen Pingan is not as simple as the rumors say!

In addition to Gu Hongxiu greeting Chen Pingan, Zhu Jiuhuan from the Beidi Zhu Family, Yan Sheng from the Lingfeng Shadowless Blade Sect and others also greeted him.

Zhu Jiuhuan was a middle-aged man with a rosy face and a thriving appearance. He looked a bit dazzled by jewels. When greeting Chen Pingan, Zhu Jiuhuan's words were sincere and his attitude was respectful but not without dignity.

Iron Blood Divine Fist, Zhu Jiuhuan! The elder of the Zhu family in the north, he was severely injured in the early years. When he was breaking through the realm and condensing the spiritual flower, the spiritual flower had a flaw and failed to successfully break into the master realm. But his combat power is second to none among the pseudo-masters.

Yan Sheng is tall and broad, with a calm temperament, and looks as majestic as a mountain. At first glance, you wouldn't think he is a swordsman from the Shadowless Blade Sect. After all, the swordsmanship of the Shadowless Blade Sect has always been famous for its speed, but there is no trace of speed in Yan Sheng.

But the truth is often beyond one's expectations. Yan Sheng's swordsmanship is not only fast, but also extremely sharp, like a storm, sweeping across the land without stopping.

Yan Sheng of the Shadowless Blade Sect is ranked fifty-seventh on the Dragon and Tiger List and is nicknamed the Wind and Rain Blade.

Yan Sheng was also the strongest among the few people, and his combat power was infinitely close to that of a master. Even if he faced Lan Yingying, the master of the Five Poisons and Earthly Evil Palm, he would probably not be weaker by a single bit.

Since the rebellion in Northern Cang, Yan Sheng has been in charge of Northern Cang on behalf of the Shadowless Blade Sect to protect its own interests. Since Yan Sheng took charge of Northern Cang, the title of Northern Cang's number one master has fallen on him.

As the various forces sent more people, Xue Kunsheng's attempt to balance the various forces and suppress Bei Cang became increasingly difficult. In fact, if it weren't for the Xue family behind him, with his strength, he would have long lost his current position.

Originally, the Xue family might have provided support from behind, but there seemed to be a more important game within the state. For now, the Xue family's support for him seemed limited.

But it’s all right now. After Chen Pingan took office in Beicang, the burden of balancing all parties and suppressing the situation fell on Chen Pingan.

After everyone exchanged polite greetings, Xue Kunsheng extended an invitation to Chen Pingan with full sincerity.

"Master Chen, you must have been exhausted from the long journey. I have prepared a dinner to welcome you."

Dinner, dinner is great! He just had something to say and wanted to make it clear. To avoid misunderstandings later, which would waste his energy and delay his practice.

Chen Pingan smiled and said, "Master Xue is thoughtful. In that case, call everyone. I always like lively occasions, and a dinner party will be more lively when there are more people."

Like to be lively? What does that mean?
Xue Kunsheng was puzzled and tried to figure out what Chen Ping'an meant.

"Your Excellency likes to have a lively time, which is a blessing for us. I will make arrangements right away. I will make sure that the dinner will be lively and satisfy Your Excellency."

Having said that, Xue Kunsheng spoke to the representatives of the many forces around him.

"Your Excellency is so kind that you have allowed us to gather together. I hope everyone will do you the honor of participating."

The people around readily agreed and said, "Of course, of course."

Amid the noise, Xue Kunsheng had a smile on his face, but his heart was shrouded in a layer of gloom.

This sharp knife
Did you see it?

He did not invite any forces to participate in the welcome dinner. He did not expect Chen Pingan to do this in front of everyone, and his little tricks and calculations immediately became useless.

Xue Kunsheng sighed inwardly, knowing that he was completely at a disadvantage today. Not only was he being used to gain authority, but he also lost the initiative. In their first confrontation, Xue Kunsheng's fear of Chen Pingan had reached its peak.

Talent, intelligence, sophistication, and character are all top-notch!

If it weren't for the family letter, he really didn't want to be an enemy of such a person. However, since the family asked him to obstruct and undermine his prestige, he would do his best.

Xue Kunsheng glanced at the representatives of the surrounding forces and made secret plans in his mind.

But just as his thoughts began to wander, he saw Chen Pingan, who was walking in front of him, suddenly stop and look back at him.

That one look seemed to contain countless emotions, as if it pierced straight into one’s heart.

Xue Kunsheng's heart trembled, and he said with a smile.

"Master Chen, do you have any instructions?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of something." Chen Pingan smiled faintly, turned around and continued walking forward.

Xue Kunsheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately followed.

The people around looked at the two people, one in front and one behind, and had different reactions.

A gust of mountain wind whistled past, blowing up Chen Ping'an's robe, making a rustling sound, as if announcing that the sky of Beicang had changed.

Surrounded by the crowd, the officers on guard along the way naturally did not dare to stop them in the slightest. They all looked respectful and bowed and greeted them.

Some caravans had no choice but to go through the side door of Beicang because the main gate was temporarily under control. When they saw the crowd in the distance, they were all curious, wondering who could have such a grand ceremony.

However, they soon learned the news that the new deputy governor of Beicang had taken office from the welcome sounds coming from afar.

"The new deputy governor of Beicang has arrived?"

"Is he the second-ranked genius on the rookie list, Chen Ping'an, the Rough Blade?"

"Bah, bah, bah, you don't even consider the situation when you speak! How can you call someone by their name like that?"

"."

Everyone was talking about it, but in the end, no one dared to say anything, for fear of causing trouble. (End of this chapter)
