Sword comes

The name of this pavilion is very long, "Changchang Changle Looking at the Green Mountains and Never Losing" Pavilion, and there is another "Ting" Pavilion not far away.

Wei Bo asked with a smile: "What's going on with that sword light? The noise was too loud, could it be Mr. Xiaomo?"

In fact, not only the territory of Beiyue Piyun Mountain, but also the newly-appointed gods of the other four mountains issued a strict order at that time, forbidding the various government offices and gods in the jurisdiction to investigate the matter without authorization, and not to gather in large numbers to discuss the matter. Once verified, the next inspection would reduce the evaluation by one level.

The spirits of mountains and rivers can remain silent, but they cannot stop the monks on the mountain from talking about it. Could it be that the young hermit official from Luopu Mountain is doing this again? The Yizhou Mountain and Water Report is busy, and one can imagine the mood of the sword immortals on Zhengyang Mountain.

Chen Ping'an did not reply in a hurry. He sat down in the pavilion, crossed his legs, and shook his long gown. He looked leisurely and relaxed.

Wei Bo sat opposite him and said, "Don't dither. Give me a definite answer."

Chen Pingan smiled and said, "Xiao Mo is already at the Fourteenth Realm."

Although Wei Bo had already reached a conclusion in his mind, he was still shocked when he heard the news.

How big is the difference between the Ascension Realm and the Fourteenth Realm? A world of difference!

How difficult is it to achieve success? Filling the sea with mountains!

Wei Bo leaned against the railing, remained silent for a long time, and said lazily, "Comfortable."

Suddenly, I heard Chen Pingan calling out "Wei Bo".

Wei Bo stopped and turned around in confusion, "Huh?"

Chen Pingan sat up straight, stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, knocked his chest, then tapped his forehead with his fingers, and said, "Thank you for all these years."

Wei Bo was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded, "You are so hypocritical."

He strode away, raised his arms, turned his back to the former boy in straw sandals, and shook his hands with golden rings in his ears.

Everything is self-explanatory. Beautiful pictures warm the heart.

Unexpectedly, Chen Pingan suddenly asked, "The painting of 'Immortal Buxu Tie' that Lord Wei borrowed?"

Wei Bo turned around and asked, "What do you mean by borrow? What do you mean by post? Could you please speak louder, Chen Jianxian?"

Chen Pingan stood up with a smile, walked out of the pavilion quickly, and linked arms with Wei Yeyou, "Why are you still angry?"

Wei Bo shook off the hand and said, "Don't worry, we are not close. I will go get the Buxu sticker and have someone send it to Master Chen."

Chen Pingan laughed out loud.

Wei Bo also felt that he was being pretentious, but he still kept a straight face and walked a few steps side by side, unable to help laughing.

They took a walk together and talked about some things. Chen Pingan asked Wei Bo to help keep an eye on Ma Kuxuan's last disciple. If he returned to Beiyue territory, he should come to Luopu Mountain and go directly to Fuyaolu Daochang to find him. The hatchet boy once asked Chen Pingan in front of Ma Kuxuan on the top of the Sword Qi Great Wall if he would still accept disciples. Chen Pingan certainly didn't want to snatch Ma Kuxuan's direct disciple, but just wanted to pass down a thunder method book to the boy.

Then he asked Wei Bo if he could ask the Beiyue Lizhisi to send an invitation to Zhou Qionglin of Qingmei Temple to go to Piyun Mountain for "shooting". By the way, he also mentioned that she could go to Luopu Mountain for sightseeing, but she had to promise one thing: the income from Mirror Flowers and Water Moon had to be split 50-50 with Luopu Mountain.

The first thing was simple. When hearing the second, Wei Bo smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, the reputation of the Fairy Zhou on the mountain is... just average. Those old-fashioned people and the moralists would never like her. Why did you take the initiative to invite her to our place?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said, "It depends on fate."

Wei Bo was too lazy to ask questions and said, "If you have anything else to say, please let me know."

Chen Pingan said, "I have previously negotiated a deal with Cai Jinjian of Green Cypress Peak, but up to now Luopu Mountain has not received 50 kilograms of Yungen Stone and 200 tubes of Yunxia Incense. I can't send a letter via flying sword, as if it were a debt collection. It's not appropriate. Why don't you come out and help collect it?"

Wei Bo asked back, "It's not appropriate for you to send a letter to urge me, but for me, who has nothing to do with this deal, it's okay for me to send a letter with a flying sword?"

Chen Ping'an pretended to be deaf and continued, "Can Lord Wei also send a few words of congratulations to Huang Zhonghou, the couple who have had a happy marriage, in the letter? Oh, I have been a good matchmaker. To be honest, Huang Daoyou should thank me."

Huang Zhonghou of Gengyun Peak not only became the master of Yunxia Mountain, but also, with his help, he finally married Wu Yuanyi and they became Taoist couple.

Wei Bo immediately became interested and said, "How come you are a matchmaker? Tell me in detail."

Chen Ping'an then smiled and told Wei Bo how he had been drinking with Huang Zhonghou, how Huang Zhonghou had threatened him, and how he had been the matchmaker in the "repaying kindness with hatred" plot. Wei Bo found it very interesting and laughed a lot.

When they reached Tingting, it was rare for both sides to have such a leisurely chat, so they simply sat down again.

Chen Pingan thought of something. "Fan Junmao's Nanyue is preparing for a celebration. How many goddess officials who are familiar with the banquet process have been borrowed from you? At least fifty or sixty?"

Wei Bo rubbed his brows and said, "She asked for two hundred people directly from me. I finally managed to get one hundred and fifty. Fan Junmao was still not satisfied and suspected that I was jealous of her."

Chen Pingan smiled and said, "Why doesn't she just hold the night party at Piyun Mountain?"

"That's right."

Wei Bo twisted the golden earring between his fingers and said helplessly, "She said that if she did it, she would either not do it or do it on a big scale. I wanted to fool her with some words, but I didn't expect her to be so cunning. She actually knew a lot of the knowledge and etiquette summarized in the Piyun Mountain etiquette. It doesn't seem like this is her first night banquet. I guess the mountain god Wang Fu of Caizhi Mountain gave her a lot of bad ideas."

Chen Pingan rubbed his chin and nodded, "I guess it was also the advice of the mountain god Wang Juan. I have dealt with him several times before. He is very methodical in doing things. I was impressed. His demeanor is also good, with an imperial crown, purple clothes and elephant books, especially the plum-sized gem, which is the finishing touch. At first glance, it makes people forget the world. When we have intersections and chat a few more sentences, I know that he is a good hand at doing business and has a lot of business sense. With this mountain of crown prince, Lord Fan will never be poor."

Wei Bo didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but when Chen Pingan praised the Mountain God King's family, he began to doubt it. Unexpectedly, Chen Pingan asked, "You borrowed so many people, did you discuss the profit with Lord Fan?"

Wei Bo shook his head. "We are colleagues after all. I am too embarrassed to say this."

Chen Pingan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes."

Wei Bo suddenly laughed and scolded, "Keep pretending. Fan Junmao told me everything in his letter. I just wanted to see if Chen Jianxian would be honest with me. Well, it's not surprising at all."

Chen Pingan was calm and composed. He said, "Don't try to cheat me."

Wei Bo said: "After all, Nanyue's territory is no longer within the Dali territory. Fan Junmao's attitude towards the Dali court is both subtle and important."

After closing his eyes and resting for a while, Chen Pingan put his hands in his sleeves and said slowly: "I heard that there is a vassal state near Dadu, which has been sneaky and making small moves for many years. It has always wanted to get rid of its vassal status, especially when the new monarch ascended the throne at the beginning of this year, it was even more naked, almost showing that it wanted to wrestle with Dali, the suzerain state? It is rumored that over there, from the emperors and generals to the gods on the mountain, they are all of one mind and are not afraid of death? Rather than living in the world and having no face to face the ancestors, it is better to die generously and go down in history. So not long ago, two elite border troops were drawn and assembled from the hinterland states to ask for an explanation from the Dali court? Even the prince, who is the emperor's brother, and the minister of rites who is in his prime, dared to go directly to the capital of Dali without any entourage, just waiting for Dali to move the knife and cut off their heads?"

Wei Bo said, "Song Mu, the Prince of Luo in the secondary capital, as well as the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple in the capital, all have no good way to deal with this kind of reckless person. The two military ministries in the capital and the secondary capital, of course, want to cut the Gordian knot. They just need to gather the garrison forces of the two states and fight their way to the capital of the vassal state. Jin Qing was also very annoyed by this. At the turn of spring and summer this year, he went to find the new emperor and the young empress dowager who gave up ruling from behind the curtain last year. Anyway, he couldn't convince them. The other party was very stubborn, especially the empress dowager, who said to him in person that she would rather die than live in disgrace. However, there was some debate within the court about this, and it is estimated that His Majesty the Emperor also has his own plans, so it has been delayed until now."

When the new king ascended the throne, the dignitaries and the gods on the mountain all had their own selfish desires and demands. After becoming vassals of Dali, just talking about Dali's clearing of the royal farms, the encroachment of the rich and powerful forces, and the large landowners' investment in good fields, how many local dignitaries' interests were affected? Not to mention that there were more than a dozen Dali policies, which were almost like touching their ancestral graves. In addition, there were several new dynasties in the south, secretly colluding with them and adding fuel to the flames. The common people over there did not understand these temple inside stories, and after the queen mother and a group of civil and military officials had been operating for five or six years, they deliberately formulated many measures that sounded different from Dali's policies and were extremely beneficial to the people. There were also a large number of literati's pens and the mouths of the associations, which made the court and the people, even the children who had just started elementary school, regard the Dali court as an enemy.

It is no wonder that there are rumors that the young queen mother angrily rebuked Zhongyue God Jin Qing, "My country has mountains and rivers, and the people's hearts can be used. The Dali Iron Cavalry only wants to knock on the gates and plunder. Life and death are not a big deal!"

Chen Pingan said, "Is Jin Qing really angry, or is he just pretending to be angry for the court?"

Wei Bo said: "It's really annoying."

Chen Pingan smiled and said, "What a coincidence! The vassal states are also brothers. I guess His Majesty the Emperor and Song Jixin are both disgusted."

"I remember that when the Dali cavalry marched south, this country surrendered quickly. In the battle in the central part of Aquarius Continent, it was also the first to surrender to a certain demon army camp. At that time, Cui Guoshi killed a large number of civil officials, generals and mountain monks. When the war was over, Cui Guoshi settled the score and killed a group of white-body literati who were stirring up trouble. The old emperor's head was chopped off by the former tour guide Su Gaoshan himself."

Wei Bo smiled bitterly and said, "If war breaks out, it will be hard for the people. They have only lived a peaceful life for a few years. And those young border soldiers are said to be mostly in their early twenties..."

Wei Bo looked at Chen Pingan, "What should we do?"

Chen Pingan said calmly: "I'll do it."

Wei Bo said, "Then don't waste time on going to the capital, hurry up. Chen Ping'an, I'm not asking you for anything on behalf of the Emperor."

Chen Pingan said: "Okay."

Wei Bo laughed at himself and said, "Isn't it disrespectful to talk to the Imperial Master like this?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "A little bit."

Wei Bo stood up and scolded with a smile: "Have some shame!"

Chen Pingan also stood up and walked out of the pavilion together.

Wei Bo couldn't help but ask, "Not difficult? Can you really do it?"

"It can be done."

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "I remember a hero once said, if you reason with someone who is destined to be unreasonable, you will be unreasonable."

Wei Bo was somewhat curious and said with a smile, "If there is a chance, please help introduce him to this unreasonable hero."

"no problem."

Chen Pingan said with a straight face: "Lord Wei had seen that handsome young hero in Qidun Mountain a long time ago."

Wei Bo reached out and patted Chen Pingan's shoulder heavily, "What a simple and honest young man you were, but now you are bragging without blushing, drinking and smoking dry tobacco!"

Chen Pingan was silent for a long time, and said: "I will never let Jianqi Great Wall and Dali Dynasty continue to be a dog tail under Chen Pingan's hands."

Wei Bo smiled knowingly and said in his heart: "Daoyou Mei Zheng has come to see you, I will withdraw first. By the way, this Daoyou who has the new name 'Lingqu' and the alias Zhou Ai, his real identity is... Hai."
