Kill demons and eliminate demons, gain 60 years of skill at the beginning

Chapter 99 Ping Xihou
"Big brother!"

Seeing Gu Chen's appearance, Gu Qingyan was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, and a gleam of joy appeared on her terrified and pretty face.

When Xu Qing'e saw Gu Chen appear, she seemed to have found the backbone, and her heart relaxed.

When the young masters heard the voice, they frowned subconsciously. Who dared to disturb them?
Gu Chen's eyebrows were raised, his face was angry, his figure flashed, leaving a series of phantoms in place, everyone's eyes were blurred, and when they saw clearly, Gu Chen's whole body had already arrived at Gu Qingyan's third people's approach.

Seeing Gu Chen's astonishing speed, those subordinates immediately changed their expressions, and rushed to their master, fearing that Gu Chen would suddenly explode and hurt a few people.

On the other side, there was a young man with a firm face and a medium build standing on the periphery. When he saw Gu Chen appearing, he also stared at this place with frowned eyes.

"What are you guys doing?" Gu Chenjian frowned slightly, looking at the luxuriously dressed young masters opposite.

"Who are you?" Among them, one stood up arrogantly and looked Gu Chen up and down.

He mainly wanted to know if there was someone like Gu Chen in his circle.

If there is, they don't mind giving Gu Chen some face. If not, the result is self-evident, let Gu Chen go where he came from.

"Your servant, Gu Chen, is the inspector of Jingtian Division. This is my cousin. Why are you surrounding my cousin and aunt here?" Gu Chen asked.

The man sneered, and said with a nonchalant smile, "So it's from Jing Tiansi."

They have great backgrounds, they are all descendants of princes, nobles and ministers of the Great Xia, Gu Chen is just an envoy of Jing Tiansi, they don't pay much attention to them at all.

If it was a commander, they would still be afraid and turn their heads away. After all, even their parents would not dare to be rude to a commander of Jing Tiansi at will.

"We were walking on the street, and we ran into your cousin. Seeing that she is beautiful, she is very suitable for us, so I wanted to come and get to know her, but I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Zhuo Zhibin, and my father is Mrs. Wu Weibo of Great Xia, this is..."

Afterwards, the man named Zhuo Zhibin introduced them. Some of them were nobles of Daxia, and some were descendants of some high-ranking officials.

And the reason why he reported his family name was also to tell Gu Chen that you can't afford to mess with us, so hurry up and offer your cousin to us, so that you and I can form a good relationship.

But Gu Chen didn't care at all, and said: "If you have nothing to do, please step aside, we still have important things to do."

When Zhuo Zhibin and the others heard the words, their complexions immediately darkened, feeling that Gu Chen was a bit disrespectful. In the rest of the time, they, the descendants of the powerful and powerful in the Xia Dynasty, would not be courteous when they met. How could they be as polite as Gu Chen? Putting it in their eyes, several people were suddenly a little unhappy.

Gu Chen's face was calm and his eyes were deep. If it wasn't for the fact that fighting was strictly prohibited in the inner city of Tiandu, he would have started fighting directly. No matter whose descendants these people are, let's beat them first.

Anyway, with Chen Yu covering it, if it doesn't work, you can go to the Department of Mirrors to find Zhou Qing. If these people meet Gu Chen in other places, the beating will be for nothing.

But after all, this is in the inner city of Tiandu, and the management is extremely strict. Even if Gu Chen has an official position, he will inevitably be punished if he fights in the street.

Zhuo Zhibin and the others also knew this, so they just let their subordinates surround Gu Chen and the others instead of ordering them to attack directly.

Seeing that the group of people refused to move away, Gu Chen let out a little bit of anger, and the complexions of the subordinates suddenly changed, feeling a heavy pressure. Gu Chen took one step forward, and they had to take three steps back.

Zhuo Zhibin and the others became impatient, and said angrily, "What are you afraid of?!"

A group of subordinates felt the pressure from Gu Chen, all of them had cold sweat on their faces, and at the same time they were scolding Zhuo Zhibin and the others in their hearts, Gu Chen's feelings were not aimed at them.

Thanks to their good family background, Zhuo Zhibin and the others know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. Although they have some martial arts cultivation, they are not high. How can they see Gu Chen's terror.

At this time, the young man who had been standing on the sidelines came over and said, "Your Excellency must be Gu Chen, who ranks first on the Jianghu Stars list, right?"

After this person walked over, he immediately eliminated the small amount of energy released by Gu Chen invisibly.

He introduced himself: "Cao Zhen, my father is the Marquis of Pingxi. When I first saw your cousin's appearance today, I was astonished as a heavenly man. It fits my heart very well. Brother Zhuo and others are also doing it for me, so they have the misunderstanding just now. If it happened, if it disturbed a few of you, I would also like to apologize to you on behalf of Brother Zhuo and the others, and this matter will be exposed for the time being."

Zhuo Zhibin and the others snorted coldly when they heard the words, obviously a little dissatisfied, but they still gave Cao Zhen this face.

Gu Chen raised his sword eyebrows when he heard this, Cao Zhen wanted to turn the page in a few words, which was easy to say.

But Ping Xihou, even if he didn't pay much attention to Chaotang, he still knew about this person.

Marquis Pingxi sits on the border of Daxia, defends against foreign barbarians, is extremely good at marching and fighting, and has also made great military achievements for Daxia. He is also well-known in the court, and he can be regarded as a person who holds real power.

It's no wonder that people like Zhuo Zhibin listen to Cao Zhen. These nobles in Tiandu have idle jobs and have no real power in their hands. Moreover, Cao Zhen's father is the highest among them in terms of rank.

Of course, the more important thing is that Marquis Pingxi's title is hereditary. If there is no accident, the Cao Zhen in front of him will be the next Marquis Pingxi.

No wonder Zhuo Zhibin and others respected him so much.

It is self-evident what it means for a Marquis who holds military power and sits on the border.

At the same time, Cao Zhen is also telling Gu Chen that there is no harm in befriending me.

Gu Chen turned his head and glanced at Gu Qingyan, and found that she didn't even look at Cao Zhen, so he knew that this was not his sister's job.

So, he smiled slightly, cupped his hands to Cao Zhen, and said: "It turns out that it was Young Master, Gu Chen was rude, and a little reputation in the world is nothing. Compared with you, Young Master, I am far behind. If there is nothing else, I will take them away first."

As he said that, he wanted to pass Cao Zhen, but Cao Zhen stopped in front of Gu Chen in a flash, and said in a very sincere tone: "Miss Gu, I fell in love with you at first sight, can you give me a chance? I want to marry you as my wife."

Zhuo Zhibin and the others were shocked when they heard the words, they didn't expect Cao Zhen to dare to make such a promise casually.

Generally speaking, a marriage of this level requires the parents of the family to be the masters, at least they must be well-matched, and the main wife is usually used for marriage.

But Cao Zhen dared to say this in front of everyone, presumably Ping Xihou was really indulging Cao Zhen in this regard, which also shows that Ping Xihou loves his son.

Gu Qingyan frowned slightly, and said: "I'm sorry, I don't want to marry far away on the border, I just want to stay in Tiandu and stay with my parents."

This sentence was tantamount to a polite refusal, Cao Zhen frowned immediately, but he didn't want to give up yet.

But at this moment, Gu Chen said, "Young Lord, I just finished meeting His Highness Duke Huai, and now I have some important matters to deal with, can you step aside?"

Hearing the word "Huaiwang", Cao Zhen's complexion changed immediately, and Zhuo Zhibin and the others behind him were also taken aback. His father did indeed hold military power, had great power on the border, and was quite famous in Daxia.

But all of this depends on who to compare with. Compared with the famous King Huai, Ping Xihou is not even a fart.

He believed that it was impossible for Gu Chen to lie casually about this kind of thing, so he could only frown and watch Gu Chen lead people away.

He was right in saying one sentence, Cao Zhen really fell in love with Gu Qingyan at first sight, and he really wanted to marry Gu Qingyan.

He has also seen many beautiful women in Pingxihou's territory, but compared with Gu Qingyan, those can only be regarded as vulgar fans, and the two sides are not at the same level at all.

As for whether Gu Qingyan is willing or not, it doesn't matter, it's just a woman, and she doesn't care about that little thing, as long as he puts a little effort into pursuing it, he will definitely get it.

When he was at the border, these methods were all to his advantage, and he was already familiar with them.

"Brother Cao, just let them go?" Zhuo Zhibin and the others approached and asked.

Cao Zhen smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, women, you still need to spend a little time thinking about it."

He said this on the lips, but in fact, what he thought in his heart was that after he planned to go back, he would investigate the details of Gu Chen and the others, and then think about it.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles, this is what his father told him.

This is true for marching and fighting, and it is also true for dealing with people.

On the other side, Gu Chen was walking on the street with his aunt Xu Qing'e, his younger sister Gu Qingyan, and his maid Xiaoyu. He glanced at the three of them and asked, "How are you, were you frightened just now?"

Gu Qingyan was obviously still in shock, with an absent-minded look, the maid Xiaoyu nodded fiercely, she really thought she was going to be arrested just now.

Xu Qing'e said with emotion: "Da Lang, today is really thanks to you."

If there is no Gu Chen, how things will develop today might not be known.

Gu Chen shook his head, and said: "Auntie, we are all a family, so there is no need to say these things. What's more, before I came out, I promised my second uncle that I will take good care of you."

At this time, Xu Qing'e looked at Gu Chen, and asked hesitantly: "Da Lang, you said just now that you saw His Highness Duke Huai?"

Although she is a woman, she has heard of Duke Huai's name, she never thought that her nephew would have such great abilities, even Duke Huai would have a chance to meet her.

Gu Chen heard the words, smiled, and said: "It's nothing, I encountered some things on this mission, it's just an order from above, basically I can only see this side."

Xu Qing'e nodded. Although she only had one side, she also felt that her nephew was very powerful. She also heard from Gu Chengfeng that not everyone was qualified to be summoned by Duke Huai alone.

Gu Chen could already see that they were not in the mood to eat, so he simply bought some vegetables, then left the inner city, returned to Gu's residence, and sent them to the kitchen for his servants to cook.

In the evening, when Gu Chengfeng came back, he frowned immediately after hearing what happened during the day.

"Ping Xihou is not an easy person, so Cao Zhen will definitely investigate the background of our Gu family secretly. If he has his eye on Qingyan, he will not let it go easily."

Gu Chengfeng's face was full of sadness. Unlike other parents, Gu Chengfeng was very democratic in this regard. Regarding marriage, he hoped that Gu Qingyan would choose what he liked rather than marrying for profit.

If it is for profit, then Cao Zhen is obviously a good choice, but his daughter doesn't like it, and Gu Chengfeng doesn't want to force it. He is afraid that Cao Zhen will not let go easily.

At this moment, in order to prevent Xu Qing'e's mother and daughter from worrying, the two were discussing matters alone in Gu's study. Hearing this, Gu Chen comforted him: "Don't worry, second uncle, I'm here. If Cao Zhen wants to investigate, he will definitely join me. Standing behind me are Commander Chen Yu and Lord Zhou Qingzhou of the Department of Mirrors, forgive him for not doing anything, but using some obvious methods."

Hearing this, Gu Chengfeng's face softened a lot, as long as Cao Zhen didn't do some small tricks in secret, that's what he was worried about, in the future, he must let Gu Qingyan go out.

……

At the same time, on the other side, Cao Zhen also got information about Gu Chen and even the Gu family.

He read Gu Chengfeng's information, but he was just a seventh-rank imperial sword guard, and he didn't take it seriously.

What really made him feel troublesome was Gu Chen's background. It would be fine if he was an ordinary second-level police envoy, but Gu Chen was under Chen Yu's command, and he was highly valued by Chen Yu.

Chen Yu's name, although he is far away on the border, and he doesn't come to Tiandu very often, he has heard of it. There are not many Jing Tiansi who dare to challenge the guardian envoy.

Moreover, not only Chen Yu, but even Zhou Qing, the first-level mirror holder of the Department of Mirrors, had some friendship with Gu Chen, which made him a little jealous.

After all, Jing Tiansi monitors the world and is external, so naturally he can't control them. He just finds Chen Yu a little troublesome, but Ming Jing Division is different. Even if it is Ping Xihou, Ming Jing Division can manage it as well.

Supervising all the officials is not just talking about it. Even a prince of Daxia died in the Department of Mirrors. Among all the officials in Daxia, the Department of Mirrors is extremely prestigious.

There is also the most crucial piece of information, the news he inquired from Duke Huai's mansion was that His Royal Highness Duke Huai was quite optimistic about Gu Chen after meeting Gu Chen today.

It has to be said that the intelligence capabilities of Pingxihou's lineage are very real, so much has been found out in just one afternoon.

Cao Zhen knew that secret means were unavoidable, so he had no choice but to use real swords and guns.

"It's okay, but it's just a 16-year-old girl. I still don't believe I can't get it." Cao Zhen smiled lightly, extremely confident.
