Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 450 Dual Identity
The previous ones were all about welfare benefits, and now it's Chen Zheng's turn to pay.

There is no need to say more about the remuneration that needs to be paid during the transaction, it is impossible to get it for nothing.

Chen Zheng has received the support of a corresponding part of the people from the Heavenly Demon Palace, and he has to give something in return.

Of course, Chen Zheng is too weak now and cannot do some things, but he has distributed everyone's responsibilities first to avoid conflicts in the future.

As the descendant of Tianmo Palace's martial arts, Chen Zheng can be regarded as a banner now. After all, every successor recovered is an improvement for the people of Tianmo Palace.

If any gathering is organized, Chen Zheng will of course have to attend, but there is no need to worry about his identity being exposed, someone will handle it properly.

Although it has no substantive effect, it still has to appear as a banner.

It's the same as the emperor who takes the emperor to make the princes.

Second, even these sects do not help and support them for no reason. When they grow up in the future, these descendants will reward these sects.

It can be said that the investment of these sects is to make a profit, and doing business at a loss is not the style of the magic sect.

There is a sense of pressing treasure in it.

As for the rest, there is nothing else.

It's not that the rules given by the Zongmen are relatively broad and loose on these descendants, but that after these people grow up, their martial arts will become more and more obvious, and they will slowly come into the eyes of the world.

No matter how much one hides, one cannot be completely isolated from the world.

These descendants will always have the opportunity to show themselves in front of the world.

At that time, there will be another duel between the two sects of the righteous way and the demon sect.

These descendants can't run away, but will be more closely connected with these sects.

At that time, the two sides will be tightly bound together, like grasshoppers on a rope, one will prosper and one will lose.

Hua Youying doesn't need to say much, Chen Zheng has already felt the routine, so it doesn't matter.

It's just the distribution of benefits, Chen Zheng still knows it in his heart.

The two had a good time talking.

Moreover, Hua Youying also hinted many times that Chen Zheng's Hundred Flowers Sect was one step ahead, so don't forget the Hundred Flowers Sect in the future.

Chen Zheng naturally patted his chest and agreed.

Hua Youying was very satisfied on the surface, but Chen Zheng couldn't figure out what was going on in her heart.

At the same time, Chen Zheng didn't understand why Hua Youying stayed in Dingbei City instead of leaving, and even entered the city guard's mansion. She always felt that there was something important going on.

Chen Zheng wanted to ask every time, but he knew that curiosity could easily kill a cat, so he decided not to commit suicide.

After the talk, Chen Zheng signed a contract with the Hundred Flowers Sect in duplicate, which is the familiar Tiandao contract. After signing, both parties will be under the supervision of Tiandao. The power of heaven and earth cannot be changed even if you are a martial artist who has entered the Dao realm.

The contract is very simple. Strictly speaking, Chen Zheng and Hundred Flowers Sect should have reached an alliance of friendship and cooperation between Hua Youying and Hua Youying personally. It's not so much about making progress together, but about helping each other.

As for the specific content, of course only three people know, and others will not know.

Before leaving, Hua Youying also asked what kind of person he would like to protect, and the Hundred Flowers Sect could contact him.

Chen Zheng rolled his eyes and said with a smirk: "Then I can choose you, madam? Isn't it a free choice?"

Hua Youying gave Chen Zheng an angry look and said, "You are so bold now, your tone of voice has changed, why? Do you think you can really do whatever you want? I agree, do you dare to ask me to protect you?"

Just this eye roll is so charming. As expected, a beauty is a beauty, no matter what she does, she is beautiful.

Chen Zheng laughed and said, "Ah, this, ma'am, I was joking. I just made a slip of the tongue. I made a slip of the tongue. I don't know what kind of strong man is suitable for me. How about you, ma'am, help me as a staff officer?"

"Tsk, I don't think you made a slip of the tongue, but it's more or less the truth, okay, I'll help you check this matter, I have to find a reliable strong man to protect you, in case you accidentally die It’s a great loss to me, yes, take this one.” Hua Youying readily agreed to Chen Zheng’s request, and then took out a small plum-shaped object and put it in Chen Zheng’s hand.

"This is the plum blossom logo that contacts our Hundred Flowers Sect. As long as you see a place similar to this logo, you can go in. That is the faction under our Hundred Flowers Sect. With this, you can get some help from it. Of course, it is not free. But it should be useful to you."

Chen Zheng took it with his hand and nodded, "Then thank you, madam. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. If madam has anything to do, you can contact me at any time. I believe that with the intelligence ability of madam's subordinates, I can find you at any time." I."

"Okay, it's totally fine, I'll see you off soon." Hua Youying didn't move, just watched Chen Zheng leave as before.

Zi Yan's face was expressionless, and she didn't ask why Hua Youying hadn't left yet.

"Ziyan." Hua Youying suddenly said, "If I ask you to personally protect Chen Zheng, will you be willing?"

These words made Zi Yan's original face look stunned. "Miss, me."

"What? Don't you want to?" Hua Youying looked at Zi Yan with a smile.

"Miss, I. I..." Zi Yan, who was not very good at communicating, was even more embarrassed. On the one hand, she did not want to leave Hua Youying's side, and on the other hand, her loyalty did not allow her to refuse Hua Youying's orders.

"Okay, stop teasing you, how could I be willing to let you protect him, I'm just thinking about what kind of person is a suitable candidate, he entrusted the matter to us so reassuringly, we naturally have to make good use of it , deepen our influence, and gain sympathy." Hua Youying comforted.

Zi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Miss, do you really want to win him over? Can you do it?"

Hua Youying's eyes were firm, "Don't worry, I have confidence, the person who can be selected as the successor of the previous generation of Sword Demon is definitely not ordinary, and he is still relatively young, and he doesn't have much experience in dealing with people. If he uses it properly, he can help me. Make things happen. Those old stubborn people still stick to the old ways. They don’t know if they have been lying down for too long, and they don’t understand the development outside. It has new energy."

"Yes, Miss, I understand." Zi Yan nodded in response.

After Chen Zheng left here, he went to the Crow Chamber of Commerce again to let Zhao Ying and the others continue to work as usual, and at the same time received a reply from Hu Chun.

The cold bamboo in the ice field has been rushed to Luanfeng City by Hu Chun and others, and Yan Xuelan has already sent someone to pick it up.

Hu Chun and others are on their way back.

Chen Zheng felt relieved when he knew that Hanzhu Bingyuan had arrived smoothly, this time his mission was finally completed, and Yan Xuelan's major event should not be delayed.

He was rushing to Luanfeng City at full speed, and he didn't want to miss the big event that Yan Xuelan had said.

When Chen Zheng appeared at the gate of Luanfeng City again, there were many changes in the development city, and there were many people coming and going, which seemed very lively.

I can no longer see the appearance of the abandoned resident at all, and it feels more and more like a city.

It was gloomy before, giving people a feeling of twilight, but now it is very lively.

Relying on his own privileges, Chen Zheng entered Luanfeng City without queuing up. He didn't go to see where his action team was stationed at the first time, but went directly to a small fort in the center of Luanfeng City.

Because Luanfeng City was originally a place where troops were garrisoned, there were not many mansions in it. There was a fortress in the middle, where the garrison generals used to be. Now Yan Xuelan doesn't want to tear down and rebuild. It's too troublesome, so he just uses it directly. And Good defense ability, only need a small part of troops to defend, and can better protect Yan Xuelan's safety.

Even though Chen Zheng had the token from the eldest princess's palace that Yan Xuelan gave him, the Luanfeng guard guarding the door did not let him go. Instead, he immediately reported to Yan Xuelan and only let Chen Zheng in after getting permission.

Chen Zheng also asked the reason carefully, it seemed that he was not so strict before.

During the time when Chen Zheng was away, Yan Xuelan was assassinated once, but there was no danger.

The assassin was disguised as a messenger who came to deliver a letter to Yan Xuelan, and the guard at the door let him in after a simple questioning.

Then Yan Xuelan came out to see the messenger, and the messenger suddenly jumped up and took action. However, Yan Xuelan's cultivation level is no longer what it used to be. During this period, he has made rapid progress. He is now at the peak of Zhou Tianjing, and half of his legs have already advanced. The door to the Tongmai Realm only needs an opportunity.

Coupled with the practice of Ziwei Xinlu, combat effectiveness does not simply depend on external cultivation.

The assassin was severely injured directly, and he was handed over to the action team for strict interrogation.

At the same time, the Luanfeng Guard guarding the door, as well as the action team and the intelligence team were all severely criticized for allowing assassins to sneak in so easily.

After a good rectification, it formed the current form.

Chen Zheng was stunned and expressed his understanding, but he was more curious about who the assassin was and what kind of power he was, was he just out of his mind, or did he have other plans?
However, after experiencing the previous incident, Luanfengwei has absorbed the experience and lessons. It can be said that the level of security is very high, with five steps for one post and ten steps for one post.

When Chen Zheng walked inside, he was accompanied by heavily armed Luanfeng Guard soldiers, who did not relax their grip on their weapons.

After detours along the way, they finally came to the core of the fortress. It was supposed to be a storage room, but it was transformed into a study room, which is also Yan Xuelan's daily office.

Pushing open the door, Chen Zheng saw a familiar figure with a very natural smile on his face.

Yan Xuelan also put down the books in her hands, and smiled, "I'm back? It's very fast. The ice field cold bamboo I got is of good quality and deserves encouragement. By the way, you all should leave." After finishing speaking, Yan Xuelan said She signaled that Luan Fengwei could step back, Chen Zheng was someone she trusted and would never betray her, let alone an assassin.There is no need for the soldiers of Luanfengwei to guard it.

"Yes, Your Highness." These Luan Feng Guards looked at each other and chose to retreat. Although this violated Xie Nongqi's order, His Highness's order was obviously greater than hers, and they knew who to listen to.

"Come, sit down and talk. I have read the letter you sent me, and now I can basically conclude that the grassland people are restless..."

As soon as Chen Zheng's butt fell down, Yan Xuelan had already said what Chen Zheng wanted to know.

The movements of the prairie people are more important than Yan Xuelan's medicine refining.

The refining of medicine takes time, as long as there is time, no matter how difficult it is, there will be a day when it will be solved.

But war can't wait. Once a war starts, you don't know how many people will die. Whether it's harmful or important, it will be much more than refining medicine.

Not only the news of Chen Zheng's return, but also the other insiders of Beiyan in the grassland also sent back similar information one after another, all of which showed the changes of the grassland people in northern Xinjiang.

It is true that some tribes have begun to go south, but it is not yet confirmed whether it is a large-scale invasion.

However, judging from the mobilized tribes, the possibility is not great.

They are all scattered small tribes, not even medium-sized tribes. Most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. There are very few young and middle-aged people, and they don't have much combat effectiveness. Impossible.

The armies of those big tribes have not been mobilized, so the action of the grassland people this time is more like taking the initiative to give away the heads, adding to the obstruction of Beiyan, and at the same time alleviating their own food crisis caused by the economic recession caused by the emergence of horse plague.

However, the possibility of deception by the prairie people is not ruled out.

The imperial court has ordered the Zhenbei Army to enter a state of combat readiness. Once large-scale grassland people appear, they must be sent as soon as possible.

Even the Iron Cavalry was secretly mobilized.

The entire Jianzhou people felt that a storm was coming, and everyone started their own activities.

Although His Majesty Emperor Yan issued a written order for Yan Xuelan to return to Yanjing, Yan Xuelan did not want to go back. It was not easy to get a family business. He was about to manage it carefully, how could he give up halfway?

After talking about the grassland, Yan Xuelan talked about the results of refining medicine.

The Icefield Cold Bamboo purchased by Chen Zheng was timely, and the other materials were ready, so the Icefield Cold Bamboo was delivered in due course. At the same time, the alchemist worthy of Yan Xuelan's trust also began to try to refine the potion under Yan Xuelan's order. It is estimated that there will be results within two days. If successful, Yan Xuelan can proceed to the next step.

While chatting, Yan Xuelan noticed that a pair of gloves suddenly appeared on Chen Zheng's right hand, and his left hand was always blocking it, as if he didn't want others to see it.

I feel weird in my heart.
