Liu Jixing looked at this man for the first time, because although he began to vaguely hear who this man was, he didn't pay much attention.
Just because he saw that Ouyang Tong knew this man, he must have some reputation in the world. Otherwise, with Ouyang Tong's temper, how could he deal with it patiently?
Of course, Liu Jixing would not be stupid enough to test Chen Geng. According to his current status in Lingnan, not to mention the consequences of his aggressive pursuit of Chu territory, just establishing enough prestige in Lingnan would be enough for Liu Jixing to have enough airs.
Although Liu Jixing is not a poser, he is definitely not a mess either. Because he always understands a truth, that is, playing pig and eating tiger in life is always the best way to hide oneself. From the day he woke up in Luofu Mountain, Liu Jixing knew that he might have to pretend until he died.
Nowadays, Chen Geng has little influence in the court, but he must still have some influence in the local area. Although Liu Jixing also called for a crackdown on bandits and bullies, in this era, even if he has huge power, many things may not go as he wishes.
So from the moment he showed up, even if someone around Chen Geng tried to test Liu Jixing, Liu Jixing would act as if nothing had happened. The technique of slicing meat just now, to put it mildly, can be done by ordinary people as long as the technique is fast enough and the knife in hand is sharp enough. Because he did not feel Chen Geng's temptation, it means that he is not a simple person, because he and Ouyang Tong are together. Although their identities are temporarily unknown, at least he does not want to offend Ouyang Tong.
Of course Liu Jixing did not use his energy to test the strength of these people, but at this time his hearing was many times better than others. From the whispers of the villagers nearby, he naturally knew that this well-dressed and personable man was actually Chen Geng, the head of the Chen family, the first in Lingbei. Although Chen Geng's charm was not accurately depicted, some details and information displayed in the intelligence were still extremely accurate.
With Liu Jixing's current intelligence resources, he really has the entire territory of Lingnan under his control.
Officials at all levels, soldiers at all levels, families from all over the country, famous gentry from all over the country, and even famous and clueless resources from all over the place are all within Liu Jixing's request. The secret party organization of Prince Xing's Mansion fully assumed the responsibility of sorting. Finally, Wu Sihu, the war commander, reported it, and Liu Jixing personally reviewed it.
The information about the first family in Lingbei had been placed on his desk for a long time. Although he did not ask anyone to investigate, after reading the information about the Chen family, Liu Jixing decided not to use anyone from the Chen family.
Because Guiyang Prison is now the money bag of Lingnan. If an already extremely glorious family is given a few more high-ranking officials, Liu Jixing knows that his money bag will be reduced by at least half because of the local habit of serving both men and women. I had heard of Song Que, the first heavenly swordsman in Lingnan, even though it was a fictional character created by someone in his own time. But Liu Jixing didn't believe that there had been no outstanding figure like Song Que in the south of the mountains and in the north of the mountains for so many years.
Although Liu Jixing is not a believer, the composition of his secret party organization determines that the error rate is the lowest. The success of the largest party in later generations undoubtedly demonstrated the feasibility of this matter. Therefore, Liu Jixing would rather believe his own intelligence than simply look at these superficial things.
Chen Geng is indeed not a well-known figure in the world, but how can someone who can become the contemporary head of the Chen family be an ordinary person?
Chen Geng seems unknown on the surface, but the Chen family in Lingbei is quite famous.
Chen Geng is unknown in the court because Guiyang has only been in the court for a short time. Chen Geng's reputation in the world is not good, that's because he doesn't care about his reputation in the world at all! Liu Jixing thought about this problem at the time. A family with more than a thousand people living together would be huge in any dynasty. There is no need to call others to go with you. The children of this family alone are a huge army!
It is said that in the previous Tang Dynasty, many members of the Chen family went to Lingnan to serve as officials, and some even went to the capital Chang'an. Although these people seem unknown, they are undoubtedly the foundation of these descendants. What's more, how can a family from a royal family be an ordinary and mediocre family?
Liu Jixing found out that his cheap grandfather Liu Yan established the country. It is said that he had summoned people from the Chen family to Lingnan to participate in the grand event. However, due to the momentum of Ma Chu at that time, even though the Chen family was far away from Langzhou, Guiyang was in charge of Chu territory, so they gave up at that time to avoid suspicion.
But when it fell into the hands of his cheap man Liu Sheng, a figure named Chen Hongjin came out of the Chen family. He was once extremely famous in the Wuling area and even in the Chu region. It is said that he even thought about accumulating strength to go south and north.
What made Liu Jixing suspicious was that this character named Chen Hongjin had never appeared in the history of the Southern Han Dynasty. He even had no presence in the Chu land of the Southern Tang Dynasty. This made Liu Jixing very strange. But this Chen Hongjin is not the young Wen Hou Chen Hongjin of Fujian, but he still uses a square-shaped halberd, which still makes people daydream.
Liu Jixing also had some interest in Chen Hongjin, probably because of Xiao Wenhou. But what surprised Liu Jixing was that the news that Chen Hongjin was in the Chen family was completely wiped out with the disappearance of this person. It seems that this person has never appeared in the Chen family, but it is said that this person's halberd skills were immediately praised as the best in the world.
Because Shiwu was lucky enough to meet this person back then. Although he didn't have the chance to fight, Shiwu's restrained temperament back then could tell that Chen Hongjin's skills at that time were still slightly superior to his own. Why did Liu Jixing disappear later, but Liu Jixing has never received any news. According to Yang Jiong's joking statement, maybe he was killed by some unknown old antique in a certain place of seclusion.
Everyone knew it was a joke, but the disappearance of Chen Hongjin was listed as one of the three major mysteries in Lingbei by the secret party.
Now that I saw that Ouyang Tong and Chen Geng knew each other, I thought that Chen Hongjin's glory back then must be related to the praise of Ouyang Tong's master and apprentice. Naturally, I also thought of Chen Hongjin's deeds. I would like to ask Ouyang Tong when I have free time.
Chen Hongjin became famous in the first place, of course, because after the change of dynasties, the Chen family lost many worries. Of course, it is also very possible that the Liu family in Lingnan has come to power, and that the Chen family, which has been dormant for many years, has some thoughts. Although I don't know if it was Ouyang Tong's promoter, these gossips in the world are obviously inseparable from this old man.
In Liu Jixing's view, he seemed to be the paparazzi of later generations. There seemed to be nothing in the world that he didn't know, and he even knew the genealogy of every household. Such a person who is both loved and hated, and who has formal channels and reputation to spread, is really the most terrifying thing.
Originally, Ouyang Tong's casual remarks were thought to be due to his greedy appetite and to please his own cooking skills. Now it seems that this old man is really not simple. Not only is he extremely cunning, but he has also always been unwilling to give up on his identity.
Because Liu Jixing knew that Ouyang Tong had been testing him, but even his closest friends didn't know his true identity. How could Ouyang Tong immediately know where he came from?
Liu Jixing didn't hide it deliberately, but his identity was too sensitive. Although I have never doubted Ouyang Tong, there is no need to reveal all my trump cards to others. What's more, in this era of changing dynasties like a revolving door, who knows who is whose enemy? It's always good to have multiple intentions. Even when facing the woman he likes, Liu Jixing feels that he doesn't need to explain everything!
But in order to expose himself, the old man naturally thought of many ways along the way. This time he actually wanted to use marriage to break his own shell, but he couldn't think of this. But thinking about this old man talking nonsense, I'm afraid everyone in the Chen family will be frightened.
How could Liu Jixing be fooled so easily, but he thought of something Xia Qinghou had mentioned to him before leaving. Because after all, there will definitely be some safety on his way south, not to mention that with Huan Huan following him, the ghost mother will not be so relieved. They said someone would come forward to protect them, but they didn't see anyone when they entered Lingnan.
Seeing Chen Geng at this time, Liu Jixing naturally had thoughts in his heart.
Because although Xia Qinghou didn't say everything clearly, he still mentioned one or two names. One of them mentioned this Chen Geng, saying that if you are near Chenzhou, you can go to Chen Geng of the Chen family if you need anything. I think it is this person. Although Liu Jixing didn't know what Xia Qinghou meant, he must have explained it since he mentioned it, and he couldn't help but smile.
You Qi saw the unhappy look on the girl behind Chen Geng, and suddenly a funny idea came to his mind.
"This brother is very powerful, and he seems to have excellent sword skills. The younger generation has learned boxing and kicking from his elders for a few days since he was a child. The family also has a set of "Opening Heaven Halberd Technique". I thought that someone can actually capture someone with bare hands. Tiger, I'm having a hard time with my skills at the moment, so I hope my seniors can give me some advice and let the juniors compete with this brother for fun!" At this time, Chen Yue, who was standing behind Chen Geng, saw Liu Jixing looking at his sister smiling, and his heart suddenly became angry, so he respectfully He asked Ouyang Tong for orders.
But he seemed to have misjudged the person. Ouyang Tong couldn't control Liu Jixing at all. Hearing what Chen Yue said, he immediately felt his scalp numb. He looked at Liu Jixing awkwardly, with an innocent look on his face, as if to say, this matter has nothing to do with me! However, Liu Jixing didn't seem to see it and looked up and down at Chen Yue who was standing next to Chen Shu. I secretly praised the Chen family for being such a good boy, but when I thought about how hard he wanted to take advantage of me, I naturally felt a little worried.
"The hero who fights tigers is having a barbecue. Brother, you seem to have found the wrong person!" Liu Jixing was not trying to cheat, but he didn't want to bury Shi Yan's contribution. After all, he went south with Yuan Shihou. For him, it was still a good thing. A good thing. Liu Jixing will never forget those who helped him.
However, seeing Chen Shu's face showing some confusion, he knew that she must have thought that she was escaping. She couldn't help but smile and immediately said to Chen Yue: "A certain family was taught some sword skills by their elders when they were young, but since I Since I was eleven years old, I have become a bit stronger, so I have given up swords and weapons for many years! If my brother competes with fists and kicks, I feel that it is unfair to my brother!"
