Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 409 Baquan Martial Arts Hall
Of course, the reason why Ye Chen has this confidence is that on the one hand, he has the full support of the entire Huaxia Weifu, and even the entire Song Dynasty's resources and power, and on the other hand, it is naturally because he has the Black Blood Gu Mother.

In fact, what he needs to do is actually very simple - that is to find the real masters of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and Jiangnan Bank, and then control them with Gu insects without anyone noticing.

For Ye Chen, this matter seems easy at first glance. For example, first use the Gu insects to control the small characters of Jiangnan Bank and Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and then use the small characters to attract big characters, and then control the big characters. Principal.

If you are dealing with ordinary forces, you can get things done with such a brutal method.But now that he is dealing with the holy hall, Ye Chen absolutely does not believe that Yufeng will not secretly arrange for people to stare at those above the shopkeepers of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and Jiangnan Bank. He believes that anyone who contacts the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and Jiangnan Bank in an abnormal way will Stared at by the church.

The most important thing is that Qian Ning, who was controlled by Ye Chen with the black ant Gu insect in Kaifeng, died suddenly before Ye Chen's first-line peak had an accident.Before Qian Ning died, he handed over a secret letter to the Huaxia Weifu Intelligence Department through a secret channel, and Ye Chen read the contents after he escaped from Yixianfeng.In fact, the main reason why he hid his identity and acted so cautiously this time was precisely because of the two points mentioned in this confidential letter.First, the secret of Ye Chen being pregnant with the black ant Gu mother has been known by Shengtang Yufeng through some channels.Second, there is someone in the holy hall who is proficient in the skills of Gu insects, and this person has developed a medicine. If any Gu insects want to enter the body of the person who takes this medicine, they will burn everything and kill the person on the spot.

As for Zhou Jie, the leader of the Cao Gang who was also controlled by Ye Chen with Gu insects, after the death of Qian Ning, the Huaxia Weifu and Zhou Jie already knew that Li Junhao, who was in the Huaxia Weifu at that time, sent a master to protect Zhou Jie. , and the Cao Gang itself is not weak, so it didn't work to get people from the temple.

Of course, in this way, the fact that Zhou Jie had betrayed the Holy Church was known by the people of the Holy Church.Next, with the help of the Huaxia Weifu, a brutal cleansing was carried out inside the Cao Gang, and a deputy gang leader and some leaders who had hidden the church in the Cao Gang were all killed immediately.

In short, although Ye Chen still has to rely on Gu worms to control some people this time, to discover some secrets.But this Gu worm is no longer something that can be used casually, and this is the reason why Yu Qingyan came to Jinling with him.When the matter develops to a certain point, Yu Qingyan needs to take action to temporarily suppress the Gu poison in some people so that Ye Chen can use the Gu insect.But this process is an extremely complicated process.

Therefore, Ye Chen must be cautious enough to act this time, otherwise, if he accidentally scares the snake and makes the holy hall take precautions, it is very likely that he will never achieve his goal.

In short, Ye Chen would rather approach the core members of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and the Jiangnan Bank in a roundabout and gentle way, using some seemingly coincidental methods that would not be suspected of intentions.Then with the help of Yu Qingyan, he used Gu worms to control some people without a trace, so as to know the secrets he wanted to know, and achieve his goal by the way.

Of course, the specific operation of this process is very particular.Ye Chen and Yu Qingyan took great pains to dress up as Chen Qing and Qin Sujuan in order to create a good innate condition for this matter.

What I want to mention here is that Yu Qingyan dressed up as Ye Chen's wife in the identity of Qin Sujuan. The expression and temperament shown in her words and deeds are more than that of a real couple. There will be doubts about her identity.In addition, although Yu Qingyan was born in Kaifeng, she has the aura of a weak woman in Jiangnan water town, especially the book-like, eyebrow-like aura in her bones that is perfectly integrated into her words and actions. She is clearly a Jiangnan scholar It is even more difficult for a weak girl from a family to have any doubts about her.

Ye Chen is not as good in this aspect, but he played the image of a seemingly honest and dull, but in fact he is a weak scholar with a chest and a lot of talent, especially when he fell ill when he first arrived in Jinling Many people in the Chen family saw him, and the old man Chen, Chen Guangyuan and others also visited him when he was in a coma.This matter can be regarded as inadvertently confirming his true identity as a weak scholar, and it has laid an excellent cover for Ye Chen to act as Chen Qing behind him.

Time passed, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the time gradually went from early autumn to late autumn.Ye Chen should be familiar with Jinling's gardens, rockeries, pavilions, courtyards, streets, painting boats, and the first few people who need to be contacted first in the plan, and he should also know what he should know.

Running to seek refuge with relatives, it is naturally impossible to eat idle food all the time.It's just that Ye Chen's status as Chen Qing at this time is, after all, a well-known and promising scholar in the country of Southern Tang, so the Chen family didn't force him to help with some business matters.On the contrary, Mrs. Chen and Chen Guangyuan both talked to him successively, asking him to study hard, prepare to take the scientific examination, and attend the poetry meeting when he had nothing to do, so as to meet some talented scholars in Jinling City and increase some contacts.

In fact, the reactions of Old Grandpa Chen and Chen Guangyuan were originally expected by Ye Chen, Hu Sanguang and others.Among the few people Ye Chen needs to contact without any trace of flaws, the easiest way to get to know and make friends is to participate in the poetry meeting.

Ye Chen is naturally not good at composing poetry as a scholar trained by a later science university, and it can even be said that he can't compose poetry.But he can copy poems. Anyway, after the early Northern Song Dynasty, there are still many good poems in Chinese history.

Compared with Ye Chen's thoughtful planning how to get started, Ye Chen's nominal wife Yu Qingyan seems to have been intoxicated in the "husband and wife" life with Ye Chen and cannot extricate herself.Even though they were the first to share the same room so far, Ye Chen had been sleeping on the floor for a month.But that kind of ambiguous atmosphere is getting stronger every day. The so-called lonely men and women, dry firewood and fire, are just an opportunity or sooner or later.

However, in the past month, the two of them have mainly accomplished one thing, that is, Yu Qingyan taught Ye Chen to play Go, to be precise, he trained Ye Chen to become a Go master.Yu Qingyan has the level of a national player, and the name of a talented woman in Kaifeng, in addition to her poems, is because of her extremely high level of playing Go, which has earned him a lot of fame
After a month of hard training, coupled with Ye Chen's extraordinary understanding, Ye Chen finally has a very high attainment in the way of Go.

The reason why Ye Chen wants to play Go is because among the people he needs to contact, there is an extremely important person who likes to play chess.

This morning, Ye Chen didn't go through the main entrance, but went out for a walk through the side entrance of the Chen family compound.When passing by a martial arts gym, he was inadvertently attracted by the whirring sound of martial arts training inside. He glanced inside through the gate, and then he was attracted and walked into the martial arts gym involuntarily.

This is a medium-sized martial arts gym called Baquan Martial Arts School, where they practice a martial art called Baquan.

Entering the gate of the martial arts hall, a martial arts training ground with an area of ​​about 30 acres appeared in front of Ye Chen, and more than 30 young men were practicing boxing.But Ye Chen's eyes were not on these 30 people, but passed through these [-] people, and betting on an old man who was also practicing boxing in the other corner.

At first glance, the boxing techniques practiced by the old man are no different from those practiced by everyone in the arena, but upon closer inspection, there are subtle but fundamental differences.

Everyone in the field practiced vigorously, and they looked very powerful and fast.Every time the old man punches, he looks a little weak, but only people with eyesight like Ye Chen can notice that every time the old man punches, the muscles of his whole body are shaking at an extremely fast speed, and this shaking is very regular , as if all the strength of the whole body was instantly concentrated on the fist that was thrown out through the shaking of the muscles of the whole body.

Generally, if you open a martial arts gym on the street, you will not have advanced internal skills. Most of them practice external skills. Generally, there are two points of external skills. One is to improve your physical strength through various methods or even secret techniques, so as to increase your strength and physical endurance. .The second is to practice martial arts.At this time, the boxing techniques practiced by these people in the martial arts hall are one of them.

Under normal circumstances, people who practice external skills are inferior to those who practice internal skills, but if they can cultivate their external skills to the peak, they can also become first-class masters, or even super first-class masters, such as the original leader of the Jianghuai Gang, who is now in the imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty. Zhan Xiongwu, who is in office, is recognized as the No.1 practitioner of external skills in the world today, and has reached the realm of a super master.

A young scholar walked into the martial arts hall, which naturally attracted the attention of others.A senior master came up to ask politely. After notifying each other of their names, he learned that the young master of the Chen family on the other side was passing by. After being curious to observe, the senior master got a little impatient and threw Ye Chen out.

Ye Chen originally wanted to go in and get to know the old man, and then find a way to exchange some things, but of course he couldn't do it now, so he could only withdraw in embarrassment.

Ye Chen suddenly remembered that Hu Sanguang mentioned in the exaggeratedly detailed information that the Chen family had conflicts with a martial arts gym because of some things.Now it seems that this is probably the 'Baquan Martial Art Museum'.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Ye Chen continued to wander around seemingly aimlessly.

Not surprisingly, Ye Chen accidentally saw someone playing chess by the Qinhuai River, and was attracted to watch chess.

It was a not too busy street by the river. It was located in the outskirts of the city, and the location was a little bit out of the way. There were no big shops, and there were mostly small vendors on the road. There were not many pedestrians. The advantage was the quietness and the beautiful scenery. Not bad.
