When I left the restaurant, it was already dark.
Yue Shan was drunk and was helped back home by Yang Feng and Han Jun. Chen Yuan discovered his characteristics. He was not lewd but good at wine. Most of the drinks on the wine table were drank by Yue Shan.
After a simple contact, Chen Yuan got to know some of the patrol guards under Zhang Xuan's command. He also asked a few of them about Yang Wanlou's details.
However, their understanding was also very one-sided. They felt that Yang Wanlou was relatively honest among the many officials in Nanling Mansion, so Chen Yuan did not say anything about the surrender of the Yan family.
During the exchange, Chen Yuan learned that,
The five major forces of Nanling Mansion, Shenxiaotang, Jiaohui, Changle Gang, Longhumen and Jinshan Temple are all near Nanling Mansion City. Among them, the Changle Gang has great influence in the south and west of the city.
Qingjiao will sit on the Yunjiang River, occupy the north of the city closest to the river, and control all the docks there. Of course, their power is also extending downwards.
Among the five major forces, the most tyrannical one is the Jinshan Temple, and the Chaotang Buddhist Sect is extremely powerful now, and the temples below are also growing rapidly due to the wind.
The only stall of Shenxiao Hall under Jinshan Temple.
After that, there are the Changle Gang, Qingjiao Society and Longhumen.
Longhumen is located in Crouching Mountain, forty miles west of Nanling City. In recent years, its power has also increased significantly, catching up with the strength of Shenxiaotang. There have been several disputes between them because of their interests.
It is difficult for ordinary people to know these situations. Even the former Yunjiang Four Ghosts and Chu Yunfeng of the Qingmu Sect are not very clear about it. Only those in the Tianxun Division know it very clearly.
On the surface, the Tianxuan Division is powerful, but in reality, most of the Nanling Mansion is under the control of the five major rivers and lakes forces. The current Nanling Qing Envoy cannot suppress those forces at all.
Sometimes it makes them feel a little frustrated when performing tasks.
These situations are very important for Chen Yuan, who has just entered the Tianxian Division. After all, he needs to have a deep understanding of the situation in Nanling Mansion, so that he can judge what to do in the future based on the situation.
The streets are full of pedestrians.
Compared with Ping'an County, life in Fucheng is more colorful. Even at night, it will be lively. Chen Yuan's steps are steady and his breathing is rhythmic.
His eyes glowed with cyan light from time to time, observing the surrounding situation.
Hopefully you can find someone who will impress you.
Suddenly, Chen Yuan suffocated and vaguely observed that someone was watching him in front of him on the left. He turned his head calmly, seemingly not noticing.
But I was thinking in my heart, who was staring at me...
Chen Yuan had only entered Fucheng for two days. He had not made any enemies, and even the people in the Tianxian Division did not recognize him. It was impossible for him to act impatiently against him.
After he entered the Tianxuan Division, the only person with whom he had any grudges was Yang Wanlou.
Chen Yuan thought that Yang Wanlou might take action against him after today's threat, but he didn't expect that he would be so quick, investigating the case in the morning and taking action at night?
Doesn't he know that he has submitted the dossier?
Is there something wrong with his mind?
No....
To be able to sit on the position of Sima, Yang Wanlou is definitely not a fool.
Then by attacking him in such a hurry, he might have been wary of something and decided to nip Chen Yuan in the bud as quickly as possible.
Only in this way can we be safe.
All evidence was destroyed afterwards. Even if Zhang Xuan guessed that he was responsible, there was no evidence. Even if his house was ransacked, he would still be safe.
This is very simple logic, anyone with a little bit of brain can guess it.
"It's better to be anxious..."
After thinking about it, Chen Yuan curled up his lips.
If Yang Wanlou really allowed Chen Yuan to investigate, even if it was found that there was something wrong with Yan's death, Yang Wanlou could still push out a scapegoat to get away with it.
Still can't cure him.
Chen Yuan's plan will also fail.
Therefore, he threatened the housekeeper today, in fact, to force them to take action.
Fortunately, they realized their intentions.
As long as he can catch the evidence that Yang Wanlou attacked and killed him, no one can protect him!
After Chen Yuan sensed that someone was following him secretly, he immediately turned around and began to move towards an uninhabited place. Chen Yuan's current trump card was a match for even a strong man in the Ning Gang realm.
And with Yang Wanlou's identity, he may only have the help of Ning Gang masters at most. As for the more powerful Tong Xuan master, Chen Yuan doesn't think he can get it.
He also dealt specifically with a bone-refining warrior of his own.
This is just a cannon to fight mosquitoes, which is unnecessary.
In fact, Yang Wanlou might not even be able to hire Ning Gang masters.
You can give it a try!
After Chen Yuan walked away, the two men in ordinary cyan clothes looked at each other, then nodded at the same time and followed.
Soon, Chen Yuan disappeared into a deserted street.
This is a very ordinary ordinary street. It is very long but not wide. In the dim night, only some things can be seen vaguely. Chen Yuan walked to the middle and stopped slowly.
Reach out and grasp the handle of the knife.
Directly in front of him, about seven or eight feet away, stood an invisible figure. The figure was holding a spear and looking at Chen Yuan very calmly.
It seemed that Chen Yuan had been waiting for a long time.
"rustle..."
Chen Yuan glanced away, and behind him, two more figures approached with knives.
The road ahead and behind was blocked, but Chen Yuan didn't panic at all, but instead showed a smile.
Although they have not taken action yet, Chen Yuan has already determined that their strength is only at the bone refining level and has not reached the Ning Gang realm. Otherwise, there is no need to do this.
"Chen Yuan..."
The figure holding a spear directly in front made a faint sound, as if to confirm his identity.
"Who are you?"
Chen Yuan was not in a hurry to take action, but asked calmly.
"Qingjiaohui, Blood Killing Hall, Song Ren!"
"Qingjiaohui, Blood Killing Hall, Wushan."
"Qingjiao Society, Blood Killing Hall, Liu Xu."
Behind Chen Yuan, the two people said in unison.
"Chen has a grudge against the people from the Qingjiao Society?"
Song Ren: "No hatred."
"Have a grudge?"
"No complaints!"
"Then why kill me?"
"Someone wants your life!"
Chen Yuan nodded:
"Do you know the guilt of attacking and killing the patrol guards?"
"I know, but as long as you disappear forever, no one will know that we killed you."
Song Ren's tone was very calm, and he had the demeanor of a master.
"very good..."
Chen Yuan was very satisfied.
"In the next life, remember clearly who you should touch and who you shouldn't touch."
Song Ren grasped the spear in his hand, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
A chilling air condensed around him.
"This sentence should be given to you!"
Chen Yuan's expression gradually turned cold, and his fingers clenched the handle of the knife, some of which turned slightly blue.
"Do it!"
Behind Chen Yuan, one of them gave a low shout, and the other nodded in agreement. He suddenly exerted force on his feet and jumped up into the alley, while the other slashed across.
"Ding!"
Chen Yuan blocked the scabbard behind him, making a sound of gold and iron clashing, and a spark burst out. The next moment, Chen Yuan drew his sword, and a sword light shone, and the bright sword light instantly lit up in the dim alley. , reflecting Chen Yuan's indifferent eyes.
"Uh-huh!"
The whizzing sword light cut off both of their arms like a knife cutting tofu, blood spurted out, and they fell to the ground, shouting in pain.
His face was ferocious.
This is because Chen Yuan held back, otherwise, it would be easy to cut off the two heads.
The movement speed and strength of these two people are both good. Together, they can rival a bone-refining warrior, but for the current Chen Yuan, they are too far behind.
Song Ren's pupils shrank, and a flash of shock flashed through him.
He had fought against Liu Xu before and knew how strong they were. He could not defeat them within ten moves. He thought he might not even have to take action.
That's why he said those calm words just now.
but...
From Chen Yuan's exposed hand, Song Ren could tell that he might not be his opponent.
Careless!
I didn't investigate Chen Yuan's strength carefully. I only knew that he had just become a patrolman. I thought he was a rookie, but who knew he was actually an eagle!
The strength of that sword even reminded him of the methods used by the hall master when he faced enemies. It was also so crisp and agile that ordinary warriors could not get close.
Is this still a bone-refining warrior?
Song Ren thought deeply and even had some intention of retreating, but at this time, he was still so close. Unless Chen Yuan was unwilling to kill him, he would die faster if he ran away.
Taking a deep breath, Song Ren decided to give it a try.
perhaps...
This Chen Yuan only has the strength of one sword?
Thinking about it more carefully, that sword is somewhat similar to the sword-drawing technique widely circulated in yamen, it is extremely explosive!
Song Ren comforted himself like this.
Then, the spear was like a dragon, stabbing Chen Yuan at an extremely fast speed. In the narrow alley, he could not escape at all and could only choose to fight hard. Song Ren was still extremely confident in his own pistol skills.
Under the Qingjiaohui Ninggang Realm, his strength is enough to rank among the top three.
"kill!"
Song Ren thrust his spear straight, but Chen Yuan tilted his head to avoid it. In his eyes, the extremely fast spear tip seemed to be in slow motion, and he could easily see through it.
"Ding ding ding..."
The spears were connected, and a cold light enveloped Chen Yuan's body. He blocked with the long knife in his hand, and his breath was steady.
Suddenly, Song Ren's eyes narrowed, and he let go of the gun with his left hand. A faint light flickered in his sleeve, and a sleeve arrow glowing with black light suddenly shot out!
Chen Yuan tilted his head to avoid it, and the arrow in his sleeve passed through his ear, hitting the wall with a 'ding' sound. He could even feel the cool breeze.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Yuan stepped forward, approached Song Ren, and punched out.
Song Ren raised his arm to block it and gritted his teeth, feeling a little painful. Chen Yuan's arm was as hard as a hammer, but he still blocked the punch.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
In the flash of lightning, Chen Yuan threw several punches, but Song Ren blocked them all with strong support. The spear in his hand fell to the ground. Not far away, Liu Xu and Liu Xu looked at the fight between the two in horror.
Chen Yuan curled his lips and without further delay, gently stroked Song Ren's right arm with his palm.
