To put it bluntly, when the guard asked him if he was a ghost, what Chen Chao was experiencing at that time was the most dangerous situation in his life. The danger here was even more dangerous than in the mountains outside Tianqing County.
The monsters you encounter are more terrifying, and are more troublesome than accidentally falling into a circle surrounded by monsters while hunting monsters.
The guardian envoy in front of him was one of the few Wangyous in the Liang Dynasty. He was a truly powerful figure. No matter how arrogant and domineering the monks outside were, they would have to restrain themselves even in front of him.
If at the beginning, the test was just to see how capable Chen Chao was, then the questioning at this moment really showed some murderous intentions.
The study is ordinary, but with the murderous intention, the whole study becomes no longer ordinary.
Chen Chao said before that Liang Chao would not kill him just like that because he had to consider the thoughts of the people in the world, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that his thoughts were idiotic, extremely idiotic.
In the final analysis, I am too idiotic.
The guardian in front of him can kill him at any time. As for killing him, no matter how he explains it, it is actually very simple. All he needs is the word ghost. It is obvious whether the people in the Liang Dynasty are willing to believe in Chen Chao or this guardian.
.
At that time, there was a voice in his heart that kept tempting him to give a different answer. It seemed that as long as he gave that different answer, he would be completely out of the current predicament. But after struggling for a long time, Chen Chao finally said
The word "out" is not two words. .??.
Just when he said these two words, the world suddenly became quiet.
The murderous intention dissipated, the pressure disappeared, and the guardian turned into the heroic man who looked ordinary but was actually extraordinary.
This is a study, not hell.
The guard looked at Chen Chao in front of him quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Chen Chao was breathing heavily, like a fish returning to the water, greedily enjoying everything that was hard-earned now. He knew the meaning of what he had experienced, and how could he survive the killing intent of a man who had forgotten his worries?
Surviving is not an easy thing.
So he was a little lucky.
The guardian felt his emotions and smiled and said, "It feels like surviving a disaster, isn't it good?"
Chen Chao was silent for a while, as if he was carefully recalling the previous feeling. The gap in realm gave him a deep sense of powerlessness, which he had never felt so clearly before.
Chen Chao asked seriously, "Did Sir really want to kill me just now?"
"If your answer is unsatisfactory, of course it is." The guard took a deep look at Chen Chao and did not make up any lies to deceive the young man in front of him. He said calmly, "If you are a ghost, you will die if you die. Don't you
What else can you blame me for?"
Chen Chao thought to himself, even if I were a ghost, I would still complain
You, but at this moment he can only choose to accept such a thing.
"But now, although I still don't know your identity, since you say that you are not a ghost, I am naturally willing to believe you."
The guard looked at Chen Chao and said seriously, "I have rarely been deceived by others in my life. Those who dare to deceive me are all big shots in the world. After deceiving me, they will naturally escape unscathed, but you are not among them, so if there is someone
If I know that you are lying to me today, I will definitely kill you with my own hands."
As one of the few people in the Liang Dynasty, the number of people who could make him say this would never exceed the number of one palm.
Obviously, Chen Chao is the most insignificant one among them.
Chen Chao smiled bitterly and said, "I can only say that I hope that day will never happen."
The guard made him look more relaxed.
After saying these words, the guard became more casual and said, "Now that everything has been explained clearly, let's talk about business."
"You should know why so many people want you in the City of Gods."
The guardian looked at Chen Chao with a smile on his face.
Chen Chao felt a little chilly for no reason. Although this statement was correct, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Chen Chao pondered for a moment and said, "The Ten Thousand Willow Club will be held in Shendu this year. It is a grand gathering for young monks. I killed those Qi refiners in Tianqing County and got into the eyes of the big shots. For Shendu, these
For a big shot, if a lowly official can leave Dali Temple, he will naturally become a favorite."
Chen Chao's words were very detailed and serious.
This is your current value.
The Ten Thousand Willows Meeting was held once every ten years, and the Liang Dynasty would lose someone once every ten years, but now it was held in the capital of God. The Liang Dynasty did not want to lose face again, so it had to use all its trump cards.
This is the face of a dynasty.
For this year's Wanliu Hui, many people in Shendu have been preparing for it ten years ago. Naturally, there will be some good young people, and there will also be some in the garrison envoy's office.
But obviously, those good young people cannot compare with Chen Chao.
The monks in the Liang Dynasty could not compare with the monks outside the Fang Dynasty. They were in the same situation and suffered a lot of defeats. Apart from the word "inherited", there were many other reasons.
Chen Chao was able to become a god at this age and was able to kill four Qi Refiners in that mine, which already proved his extraordinary abilities.
At least among the younger generation of the Liang Dynasty, he already had a place.
Among the peers in the Liang Dynasty, there may be those who are higher than the Chen Dynasty, but in actual combat, there are probably only one or two people from the Northern Army who can defeat this young man completely.
The guardian envoy said, "I originally had two places for the guardian envoy, but now, you are enough."
This year, the Ten Thousand Willow Club will be held in Shendu. Different from previous years, the Liang Dynasty has ten places. Of these ten places, the academy naturally takes up most of the places. The remaining places are reserved for major aristocratic families and guarding envoys in Shendu.
And the battle for Tianyuyuan.
Originally, excluding the academies in the Liang Dynasty, the most outstanding young people were probably in the Northern Army. They fought against monsters all year round and were not comparable to ordinary monks.
It's just that although Wanliuhui is important, it is by no means as important as the border defense in the north.
The fact that the Governor's Office was allocated two quotas is enough to illustrate the important position of the Governor's Office in the Liang Dynasty.
"You have to be at least in the top ten... no, top five."
In more than two hundred years, the Liang Dynasty has only entered the top ten once.
The guardian looked at Chen Chao and said very seriously, "You have the ability, and you should take on this matter."
Chen Chao said, "I killed four Qi Masters in Tianqing County. I think they would be happy to kill me openly in the Capital of Gods, if the rules allow it."
The guard laughed and said, "How can I let you die? The Wanliu Club is a grand gathering for young people to communicate, and killing is not allowed... Of course there have been exceptions, but there is only one case, and it cannot fall on you.
"
Speaking of this matter, the guardian frowned slightly.
"It's also very embarrassing to be defeated by them. With what happened before, they will definitely be happy to watch me lose, and they won't be alone. I think it will be difficult for me."
Chen Chao stated this matter very seriously, and it was all true.
Killing the Qi Master in the south, but finally surviving in the city of God, and preventing the three sects including Sanxi Mansion from launching an attack. This was a victory for the Chen Dynasty, but for those sects, it was a victory.
It is a great shame. The line of Southern Qi Refiners has always been the same, and even all monks outside the country will share the same hatred. Therefore, as long as Chen Chao appears at the Ten Thousand Willows Conference, he will definitely become the target of countless people.
The guard said calmly, "So what? Even without these things, where do you think you would be relaxed?"
Chen Chao frowned and did not speak in a hurry.
The guard said angrily, "What are you thinking about?"
The reason why the guard was angry was that he had already expressed his thoughts. If the young man in front of him was not a fool, he would have taken the initiative to say something.
<
br> Unfortunately, he did not respond.
Listening to the guard envoy's questions, Chen Chao rubbed his head and said, "Although I haven't asked about the specific charter of the Wanliu Society, and I haven't asked you why, I feel that there is something more important than these things.
More important."
The guard envoy asked displeasedly, "What's going on?"
Chen Chao looked seriously into the eyes of the guardian and said, "Before I came here, I met many people on the bank of Nanhu, and one of them was the vice president of Tianyuyuan."
Naturally, many people wanted to talk to Chen Chao before coming to guard the ambassador's house, but it was obvious that everyone had only one purpose.
The guard had a vague feeling that what Chen Chao said next would be a bit unpleasant.
At least that's what he didn't want to hear.
"He told Xia Guan that now Xia Guan is no longer an official of the guard envoy lineage. In other words, Xia Guan should now be free."
After learning about this incident, Chen Chao thought about it seriously and felt that it was the method of His Majesty the Emperor in the Imperial City.
Of course, this also solved some troubles for him.
If you are not the governor of Tianqing County, you have no reason to go back, so you can naturally stay in the divine capital.
He knew about this before he came, but when he entered this study, he still spoke like a subordinate. Of course, he wanted to maintain the connection with the guardian envoy, but this did not mean that they really still had a connection.
"What do you want to say?" The guard looked at Chen Chao expressionlessly.
Chen Chao smiled and said, "That is to say, the lower official does not seem to have the obligation to attend the Ten Thousand Willows Meeting on behalf of the Guarding Envoy."
Although he encountered many things after entering this study, and even almost died here, Chen Chao still remembered one thing, and that was why he entered this study.
It was the guardian envoy who asked for help from him.
Now that he is a piece of cake, walking out of the guarding envoy's residence is nothing more than walking into another government office.
For whomever I do, I do it for the Liang Dynasty.
The world is so big, how can there be no place for you to stay?
The study was very quiet, and the guard walked slowly past here. It could be seen that this heroic man was very unhappy at the moment.
Chen Chao felt a little happy inexplicably.
Maybe this is the thrill of revenge?
Just like when he watched the middle-aged Taoist nun vomiting blood in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.
The guard was silent for a long time, and then asked, "What do you want?"
Chen Chao said very sincerely, "Of course it depends on what you can do."
