Whether it is just to keep up the facade, or whether he is really interested in serving the Qi Empire, General Lei always has to maintain a few facades.
The people in the investigation team are not suitable!
After all, they are all from the imperial capital, and all of them have extraordinary backgrounds, so they will definitely not be interested in 'bounty hunters'.
The masters of the Northern Territory Gate are also not suitable. They basically serve in the Northern Frontier Army and need to guard against the barbarians beyond the Great Wall.
The problem is that there are no so-called powerful families in the North, and there are not many strong players who do not belong to the government and border troops.
After several rounds of calculations, Chen Ying and a group of warriors from Valley Manor were more suitable.
"It's just a name, there is no mission!"
General Lei made it very clear and said directly: "Even if there is a mission, it is done on a voluntary basis and there is no intention of force!"
"Is there anything that needs special attention?"
Chen Ying did not rush to express his position, but asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
"If there is a need in a nearby state capital, the 'bounty hunters' from the Northland may be needed to provide support!"
General Lei made it clear and said with a smile: "Of course, it's just a formality at most, and we won't let the experts from the North get involved in the affairs of the neighboring state capital!"
"If that's the case, I can join!"
After asking about the details, Chen Ying said directly: "To be honest, I guess it's just a name, and Valley Manor can't get away with it at all!"
"It's good to have a name!"
General Lei told the truth and said helplessly: "Here in the Northland, we need to be known as a master of the field, so we don't insist on taking action!"
Then there's nothing to say, it's just settled.
But Chen Xiong, the boy, clamored to join in, just like a joke.
After sending General Lei away, his second brother Chen Wu took the initiative to stay.
"Second brother, what's the matter?"
Chen Yingzhen was a little helpless. Most of his thoughts at the moment were on pondering the vast amount of new knowledge he had acquired, and he really didn't have much thought for other things.
Chen Wu remained silent, but his eyes were bright, staring at Chen Ying. The atmosphere was quite awkward.
By the way, a big man with a height of two meters is staring at a giant man with a height of 2.1 meters. This scene is quite strange.
"Third brother, how did you achieve your cultivation?"
After a long time, Chen Wu finally spoke and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Isn't it obvious?"
Chen Ying said with a smile: "There is a context to be found in every step. Second brother doesn't think that my cultivation is abnormal, right?"
In my heart, I smiled...
Fortunately, he is not one of those people who is a loser in the time-travel belt system. Since he started practicing Neijiaquan, almost every step he took has been very solid.
Although the progress is a bit too fast, if you think about it carefully, there is no problem at all.
Instead of forcibly improving through the system, you will reach the same level in a few days. I really think everyone is a fool.
It is still only the era of Qi, and there is definitely a context to be found in cultivation.
Just like Ling Feng, a young man with a hatchet, his luck was overthrown and he took advantage of the treasures of heaven and earth, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds to an incredible level.
But really speaking, his own foundation should be quite solid!
Chen Ying has also seen the hatchet young man take action several times. He is quite proficient in military martial arts. It can be seen that he has been immersed in it for many years and has a solid foundation.
Sure enough, Chen Wu showed relief on his face and said with a wry smile: "It's true that Third Brother, your cultivation level has improved too fast, and my mentality was a little unbalanced for a while!"
When he said this, he looked calm and showed no embarrassment!
This is a man from the North who dares to act and is open-minded...
What Chen Ying didn't expect was that a tiger's roar in the competition venue not only shocked the valley warriors, but also caused him a lot of trouble.
I don’t know what’s going on, but my cousin Chen Tong, who had not been seen much before, suddenly came to Valley Manor frequently recently. Every time, he took Chen Ying to eat and drink, and by the way, he also invited him to the brothel Chuguan in Beidi City.
Have fun and have fun.
Once or twice is okay, but this guy invited me five times in half a month, which is very abnormal.
"Speaking of which, cousin, do you think it's appropriate for me to go to a brothel at my current age?"
When she was invited for the fifth time, Chen Ying asked directly: "My cousin, if you have any ideas, just say so!"
Damn, is this a sugar-coated trick against him?
"How could it be inappropriate?"
Chen Tong said with a smile: "Cousin, you are almost an adult. Why don't you go to a brothel and have fun? Is it possible that you are still a young girl?"
"My cousin really guessed it!"
Chen Ying didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "My previous thoughts were all on martial arts training!"
After saying this, he paused and said with a smile: "My cousin also knows that practicing Neijiaquan depends on the level of qi and blood, but I don't dare to mess around!"
"No wonder my cousin's cultivation level is so high, I admire him so much!"
Chen Tong stretched out his thumb and said in admiration: "Brother, I can't do it. There are too many temptations in the colorful world of the imperial capital, and I really can't devote myself to cultivation!"
What a liar...
Chen Ying may not know much about other things, but Chen Tong, a cousin of the Chen family in the imperial capital, was specifically informed of some information when he was in the palace.
The situation of the Chen family in the imperial capital is not very good!
It has fallen from a second-rate family to a third-rate family!
From the head of the family down, all the direct descendants are mediocre people.
If it weren't for an extremely cold relative like Zhenbei Gong, the family's only first-rate internal skill and mental technique would not have been preserved at all!
The cousin Chen Tong in front of him was even the most outstanding direct descendant of the Chen family in the imperial capital. However, he used the family's power in this way and could only become a judge in the Northern Prefecture's office.
This guy definitely worked hard when he was young and young, otherwise why would it be so easy to get ahead?
There are too many rich and powerful people in the imperial capital. Although there are many opportunities, they require sufficient strength. Obviously, Chen Tong's strength is very inconspicuous and he cannot take on big responsibilities.
Therefore, Chen Tong is telling lies with his eyes open.
All I can say is that this guy's martial arts talent is average...
In the telepathy, Chen Tong's cultivation level has not even fully penetrated the twelve canons!
You know, this guy always buys one or two bottles of pills that can help increase the level of Qi cultivation!
Several years have passed by now, but in the end, I haven't even mastered all the twelve classics, and my martial arts talent is indeed average.
You know, when Chen Xiong first practiced "Thunder Heart Technique", he could master one of the Twelve Sutras in a month, and the talent gap between him and Chen Tong was huge.
Chen Tong saw that Chen Ying was unmoved and did not continue to pester him, as if he had given up.
But then, as if they had made an appointment, the disciples from the Northern Territory arrived at the Valley Manor one after another. They either invited them to a drink or offered various compliments, making it clear that they wanted to make friends.
At first, Chen Ying gave him some face, but as time went by, he got annoyed...
"Fourth, you will be the one to receive these guys from now on!"
As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist, so Chen Ying directly pushed out Chen Xiong, who was so envious that his eyes were red.
With his ability to penetrate six extraordinary meridians and eight meridians at this time, he can be called a young hero. He is certainly qualified to receive all the disciples of the Northern Kingdom.
"Third brother, you must not go back on your word!"
"What are you regretting? I'm not interested in making friends with these guys!"
"Third brother, these guys will be the bosses of the Northern Territory from now on!"
"So what? Just because they generally have just cultivated the eight extraordinary meridians?"
"With the resources of the generals behind them, it's easy to get promoted!"
"Then wait until they have penetrated at least the four extraordinary meridians and eight meridians before they can make friends with me. I'm not interested right now!"
"Third brother, if your words get out, you will definitely offend everyone!"
"It's just you and me right now. It seems like your skin has become loose recently. Why don't we two go to the martial arts training ground to compete!"
"No, no, no, no, I don't want to be abused!"
He waved his hand, indicating that Chen Xiong could leave. He had been disturbed by a bunch of guys recently, and he even had less time to copy classics.
His behavior quickly spread to the high-ranking circles of the North through the mouths of the disciples.
"He's just a fool, he doesn't know how to seize such a good opportunity!"
"Do you think you can gain a foothold in the top management of Northland just by relying on your strength? This is too simplistic!"
"Humph, he's just a martial arts idiot who doesn't understand worldly affairs. Don't worry too much about it!"
"I don't know if this guy is really not interested or if he has another purpose. We have to observe carefully and stop looking at him!"
The news reached the ears of the princess of the palace. When chatting with Chen Wu, the second son, she couldn't help but sneered: "I thought the third son was so smart before, but I don't think he is also a confused guy!"
Chen Ying's strong strength really put a lot of pressure on the mistress of the palace.
If I get the opportunity at this time, I will naturally sneer without politeness.
"I'm afraid, third brother, what do you think?"
Chen Wu was a little confused and felt that what Chen Ying did was really unwise, and he felt inexplicably relieved.
When it comes to Chen Ying's strong martial arts skills, the one who feels the most pressure is how good he is, right?
As the heir to Zhenbei Gongfu in the military, his martial arts skills are actually as good as those of his third brother, who is five years younger.
Moreover, Valley Manor is also a fairly strong foundation!
Especially the precious medicines produced there, as well as the many martial arts masters, made him, the legitimate second son of Zhenbei Gong, jealous and envious.
In addition to the serious shortage of high-end combat power, in terms of mid-level combat power alone, Valley Manor is probably not much worse than Zhenbei Gongfu, and may even be a bit stronger on the surface.
This is very difficult for Chen Wu, the second son of the prince, to accept. At the same time, it is inevitable that Chen Ying, who has always kept a low profile, will be regarded as his biggest opponent.
I didn't expect that this guy would do such a stupid thing...
"It's so cheap!"
The words of the mistress of the palace awakened Chen Wu from his thoughts: "It is only right that Wu'er should come forward for such a matter. The third child did not know that he did something stupid, and the fourth child was also restless, and he did not even think of refusing.
!”
Chen Wu smiled bitterly and thought to himself: How could it be possible to keep the fourth child in peace? This kid is very arrogant...
