Chapter 111: The Battle between Civil and Military Affairs
111 The Battle between Civil and Military Affairs
After Gao Yu'an appeared and explained their purpose, Wang and his party followed the old Taoist priest back to Chen's Mansion. They did not slow down at all along the way.
The young Taoist priest was chasing after him, holding the Guan Gong sword. The friction sound was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, making him feel uneasy.
"My disciple, why don't you go back? What's the point of dragging your sword around and wasting time?"
Only at this moment did he begin to regret not rejecting Xiang Jiannan yesterday. Like Wang and his group, Gao Yuan, who was walking in the front, felt extremely heavy-hearted.
He didn't know how long his disciple's enthusiasm would last, but at least he had given him a surprise early in the morning.
Dragging a big knife to Chen's house. I have lived in Ping'an Town for so long, but I have never seen anyone do this.
They totally disregarded the feelings of the people around them. If other people in the town saw this, they would think that the master and disciple were plotting something bad.
It just so happened that Wang and his group were caught in the middle.
"Since Mr. Chen asked, how could I not go?"
Hearing that his master was ashamed of himself, Xiang Jiannan immediately took Guan Gong's sword and took two quick steps.
I have tried to carry the Guan Gong sword on my shoulder before, but to be honest, it is not very comfortable. It is more convenient to just scratch it on the ground. The longer you do it, the less effort you will save.
The purpose of his trip was to tell the residents of Ping'an Town that he had a Guan Gong sword. He had no other intention, he just wanted to let them see it.
Instead of waiting for Wang and his group to publicize and attract people to come and watch, it would be better to take the opportunity of Mr. Chen's invitation to take the initiative. Xiang Jiannan figured it out.
"Mr. Chen actually invited the old Taoist priest."
Originally, they had no objection to the Guan Gong sword in Xiang Jiannan's hand, but when he dragged the Guan Gong sword and said he was going to Chen's house, Wang and his party were immediately unhappy. They had invited the person to go, and the Taoist priest's attire could easily cause misunderstandings among others.
Mr. Chen is old, and his third son has just graduated from high school and has not yet finished enjoying the joy.
Even I hope that the young Taoist priest will not be stubborn and rebellious. He may not know how scary the sound of Guan Gong's sword rubbing against the ground sounds.
Therefore, when Wang and his party heard Xiang Jiannan's rebuttal to Gao Yu'an, they immediately began to explain.
Mr. Chen did say that he would invite the old Taoist priest, and he could guarantee that.
"Um?"
Seeing that Wang and his group seemed to have some dissatisfaction with him, Xiang Jiannan stopped and frowned.
The Taoist priests in Ping An Temple have always been selling things in bundles. Anyone who is familiar with them knows this. It's rare that I've been so proactive today, but this group of people have become unhappy. Why are they pouring cold water on me?
The expression he made was due to some dissatisfaction in his heart, but he didn't expect that it scared Wang Yixing. He quickly walked to Gao Yuan and then dared not say anything more.
The Guan Gong sword was indeed an ominous object. The usually gentle and amiable young Taoist priest now showed his hostility and said that the sword was unlucky.
The appearance of Guan Gong's sword indeed caused a commotion. When Xiang Jiannan arrived at the gate of Chen's mansion followed by everyone, he did not expect that he could cause such a big reaction.
After he appeared in people's sight dragging the Guan Gong sword, the residents of Ping'an Town who were chatting happily immediately showed great interest in him. The topic automatically stopped and they spontaneously approached the three of them.
The reason why the young Taoist priest set fire to the dense forest yesterday has not yet been discussed, but just one night later, the situation seems to have escalated again.
Going to Chen's house again, this master and disciple must be paving the way for Chen Jingxuan! The more I think about it, the more confusing it becomes. Since the master opened his eyes, everything that happened has been extraordinary.
"Is the old Taoist priest going to Chen's house again?"
"This big knife, nice thing."
"Mr. Chen."
The people surrounding Xiang Jiannan and Gao Yuan were very excited and slowed down their pace. They all wanted to get some information from the two Taoists.
He didn't dare to speak rashly for fear of offending the Chen family, so he could only hint at it from time to time.
Mr. Chen was going too far. They were not the only wealthy family in Ping'an Town. If things continued like this, wouldn't they arouse public anger? He really thought that the other families were vegetarians. Would the things they did behind their backs hurt him? It was possible.
"The Taoist master has arrived."
Gao Yuan was spotted from a distance through the crowd. He turned around and was about to go in to report, but the butler of the Chen Mansion discovered that his master had already stepped out at some point.
The master seemed to have not slept well last night, and his face was full of fatigue. The dense forest was burned yesterday, and everyone believed that it would take some time for them to recover.
“Yes.”
It was impossible not to see such a huge Guan Gong sword. The whole street was filled with harsh friction sounds. Old Master Chen signaled his servants to disperse the crowd first. He and the old Taoist priest had important matters to discuss. That night, his heart was full of doubts.
With the help of the servants, the two Taoists were finally rescued from the noise.
"Two Taoist priests, please!"
After entering the main hall and giving several instructions, Mr. Chen could not help but look at the big knife in Xiang Jiannan's hand a few more times while speaking. He showed the demeanor of a head of a wealthy family.
He took it lightly, although he was curious about why Xiang Jiannan suddenly took out a Guan Gong sword.
This knife can ward off evil spirits. Does the young Taoist priest have some other intention in dragging him to see him?

"Where is the third young master?"
After sitting down, he drank a sip of tea slowly. Seeing that the Guan Gong sword in his disciple's hand was not held very straight, Gao Yuan coughed and pretended not to see it.
"Master, please wait a moment. Jingxuan will be here soon."
Because the big knife in Xiang Jiannan's hand suddenly felt silent, Mr. Chen stood up and looked outside the house.
He wanted to ask about what happened in the dense forest yesterday. The appearance of the green dragon had made him feel uneasy, and it had only been a short time.
"Does the old man recognize this knife?"
The waiting process was rather boring, so Gao Yuan took the initiative to pick up the Guan Gong sword in Xiang Jiannan's hand and asked.
Mr. Chen is also very experienced. He traveled all over the country in his early years. His ability to identify some objects is not as superficial as others. What he wants to talk about today is actually related to this big knife. Although he used some methods on it, it was not a big deal.
"It looks so murderous, this knife must have an extraordinary origin."
Without saying it explicitly, after Gao Yuan pointed at Guan Gong's sword, Old Man Chen just uttered a sentence slowly.
This was the reaction that the Guan Gong sword in front of him gave him. This sword must have seen a lot of blood, and it gave him a very strong feeling.
"This knife was brought out from the jungle."
He motioned Xiang Jiannan to hand over the Guan Gong sword to him, and just casually lifted it with one hand, Gao Yuan easily placed it flat on his palm: "There is a general buried in that dense forest, and this sword belongs to his confidant."
The master really knew it very well.
Seeing Gao Yuan constantly stroking the blade, Xiang Jiannan was very curious why he was so talkative in front of Mr. Chen.
The old Taoist priest was not so generous to him. After he asked for the knife yesterday, the master and disciple had not discussed the matter yet.
"General?"
What Gao Yuan said made Mr. Chen look puzzled, and he didn't know what this matter had to do with him.
There were so many nameless people buried in that dense forest, so a general was not surprising.
"Wenwu Wenwu, which path did your Jingxuan take?"
With a slight movement of his palm, the Guan Gong sword pierced straight into the ground. Gao Yuan looked at Mr. Chen seriously while speaking, but he heard rapid breathing outside the door. The third son of the Chen family was just about to come in from outside the house.
