That point, Chen Yuan couldn't envy.

He didn't stay in the Sky Survey Department for long. He just had a meal with Zhang Xuan, chatted idly for half a day, during which Zhang Xuan also talked about some of the current situations.

Overall, it was very stable. No force with no eyes was provoking him, which seemed a bit boring.

Finally, when Chen Yuan was leaving, Zhang Xuan told him that Nanling Prefecture was not far from Tangshan Prefecture, and if he needed any help, don't hesitate to ask.

This made Chen Yuan feel even more recognized as a friend of Zhang Xuan.

Regardless of whether the other party was deliberately trying to befriend him because of his talent, he had received kindness after all, and he was grateful to Zhang Xuan.

Leaving Nanling Prefecture, Chen Yuan continued his journey. This time, he put on his Sky Survey Green Envoy uniform. Although it was not ostentatious, there was no need to deliberately hide it.

As the saying goes, wealth does not return home, like wearing brocade at night.

Chen Yuan wasn't too interested in pretending to be forceful, but he still had some unusual feelings for his old home in this world.

Ping'an County City Gate.

A group of more than ten riders marched in a mighty manner, sitting on horseback looking at the words 'Ping'an' on the city gate tower. Chen Yuan was deeply moved. If there were no martial arts in this world,

He would probably spend his life here peacefully and quietly.

Marry a few concubines and hang out with Wang Ping in the brothels when he had nothing to do. It seemed that kind of life was not bad...

"My Lord, this subordinate would like to visit Master Zhao." Zhao Beishan rode his horse to Chen Yuan's side and said with cupped fists.

"Go ahead, tell Old Zhao, I will visit him again tomorrow." Chen Yuan nodded in agreement.

Facing this old man who had been kind to him, Chen Yuan had always been respectful. Although they didn't have the name of master and disciple, they had the reality of master and disciple. He had taught Chen Yuan a lot.

The Huajin stage, the Six Harmony Saber Technique, and also gave many pills...

Perhaps there was a reason for him to bet on him, but the kindness was real.

Chen Yuan's actions were indeed ruthless, but they were basically directed at enemies. As for those who had helped him, he would always keep them in his heart. Like before,

He exchanged Black Jade Balm from the hands of the Qingmu Sect and gave it to Zhao Nanshan, but unfortunately it was of no use.

He didn't find the Black Jade Regeneration Ointment that was treasured in the Jianghu, otherwise... he would have brought it directly this time.

"Thank you, My Lord."

Zhao Beishan cupped his fists and led Li Dongshan and the other three into the county town on horseback.

After watching for a while, Chen Yuan took a deep breath, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and said:

"Let's go, into the city!"

The yamen constables who had been paying attention to Chen Yuan's group for a long time, saw them come forward, and hurried forward, asking:

"Do you have a road permit?"

Chen Yuan's group was dressed luxuriously, so the constable didn't dare to use too harsh words. On the contrary, he had a smile on his face, causing the passing people to secretly curse him for judging people by their clothes.

Without dismounting, Chen Yuan glanced lightly at the somewhat unfamiliar constable in front of him:

"How long have you been a constable?"

"More than half a year." After saying that, the constable belatedly thought, it seemed that he was the one who should be questioning him, right? How could he be questioned unconsciously?

But looking at Chen Yuan, who had an unfathomable aura, he didn't dare to show any displeasure.

Nodding, Chen Yuan knew that he probably didn't recognize him, and immediately swept over the faces of the nearby guards one by one, pausing his gaze for a moment:

"Li San, do you still recognize me?"

The constable who was named by Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly stepped forward, widening his eyes:

"You... You are... Head Constable Chen?"

"That's right."

"It's really you! I felt a little familiar just now, but I didn't dare to recognize you. Are you back for this?" Li San asked cautiously.

"Passing by, where's Wang Ping?"

"Head Constable Wang is patrolling the streets with people. The county town has been unstable recently, and many vagrants are committing crimes." Li San replied quickly.

"Well, I know. Go back and tell Wang Ping to come to my house to see me." After saying that, he led Yue Shan and others straight into the county town.

Li San watched Chen Yuan leave with a respectful expression. The constable who had asked the question earlier saw this and whispered with a smile:

"Brother San, who is this person? Your attitude is more respectful than seeing the County Lieutenant."

Li San spat at him and scolded:

"You blind dog, do you know that if there had been the slightest disrespect just now, your little life would not be guaranteed today?"

The constable widened his eyes:

"He dares to attack constables in public?"

"What's a mere constable? Do you know who this person is?" Li San raised his head, as if with a hint of pride.

"Who is it?"

"Yeah, who is it, Brother Li?"

"Tell us..."

"Do you remember the good brother that Head Constable Wang often talks about?" Li San said.

"Brother San, are you talking about... that Chen Yuan, Head Constable Chen, who went out from our Ping'an County before?" It's no wonder they directly associated him with Chen Yuan. Wang Ping mentioned his good brother every time he got drunk, and it was difficult for these new constables not to know him.

"That's right, it's him. My cousin, who works in Nanling Prefecture, tells me about his deeds every time we meet. He's really a living Yama, with no less than a thousand lives in his hands.

He can stop children from crying. It is said that most of the Jianghu forces in Nanling Prefecture were wiped out by him."

Li San sighed as he spoke, "He used to be my direct superior. In the blink of an eye, he has become an unspeakable big shot. Even our County Magistrate and County Lieutenant have to be humble. It's a pity that if I had a good relationship with him like Wang Ping did, who knows who would be the head constable now?"

"Brother San, you're wrong to say that. Head Constable Wang was promoted because of his strength. You..." The man who spoke chuckled.

Li San glanced at him: "Strength? Where does strength come from? Isn't it piled up with resources? A little bit of what this guy leaks is something I can only look up to.

Do you know that our Head Constable Wang's aptitude is not as good as mine?"

"And now? Not only has he become the head constable, but he also has great power. Even the County Magistrate and the County Lieutenant are unwilling to provoke our Head Constable Wang. He's borrowing this guy's power!"

"Hey, now that you say it, it seems like it is."

"Once there was a great opportunity placed in front of me, but I didn't seize it... Ah, forget it, let's continue to be on duty. Talking too much about such an existence might cause trouble."

Li San shook his head. It was too late to say anything now.

He didn't befriend him when he hadn't risen to power, and now he was nothing.

"Brother San, why didn't Head Constable Wang go to Nanling Prefecture with him?"

"This matter..."

......

......

Chen Yuan, who had extremely keen senses, naturally heard the discussions of Li San and others behind him, but there was no other reaction. He had a bit of an impression of this kid, but not a deep one.

"My Lord, are we going to your residence?" Yan Qing said with some curiosity.

"It can't be considered a residence, just an ordinary small courtyard." Chen Yuan smiled.

Entering Ping'an County City, Chen Yuan felt as if he had returned to more than half a year ago. At that time, he had patrolled here many times. Now that he thought about it, it seemed to have a bit of flavor.

Huang Xing, Li Mingqi, Tie Xuan...

Remembering what had happened before, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up into a smile. This was his place of rebirth, and also his place of rise.

Ping'an County, what a good meaning!

Walking on the streets in the north of the city, the pedestrians on the road saw Yue Shan and others dressed extraordinarily and gave way. For these ordinary people, these dignitaries were not to be provoked.

If they accidentally offended them, they would be ruined.

Ping'an County was no different from before, still bustling. The only difference was that Chen Yuan found that there seemed to be more and more people wearing ragged clothes...

Walking and walking, Chen Yuan pulled the reins and stopped in place, looking into the distance. In front of him, there were several men wearing constable uniforms talking.

They vaguely surrounded a person who was dressed slightly differently in the center.

Chen Yuan recognized who this person was.

Wang Ping!

It was just that he recognized the other party by relying on his powerful cultivation and keenness, being able to recognize him at a glance even from hundreds of meters away, but separated by the people and pedestrians on the road,

Wang Ping didn't notice him immediately.

"My Lord, Yanyu Tower tonight?" A constable had a flattering look on his face.

Wang Ping pondered for a moment: "Isn't that too expensive?"

"It is this subordinate's honor that you can grace us with your presence, how can we talk about expense?" That person said with a sly smile.

"That's right, we don't care about the expense as long as you grace us with your presence, My Lord. It's an honor for us brothers." Several constables nearby echoed.

Wang Ping laughed:

"Alright, you guys are perceptive."

"How can we not be perceptive when we work under you, My Lord? I heard that Yanyu Tower recently got a few new girls who are courtesans from the prefectural city, tsk tsk tsk...

They are all beautiful as flowers. This one thinks you will definitely like them, My Lord."

"I haven't been to that kind of place in a long time." Wang Ping said reservedly.

"Little Liu is right, I saw that woman too. She is indeed indescribably beautiful. Even though she's getting old, there's no trace of time on her face, almost like a girl of seventeen or eighteen."

Wang Ping: "The traces of time may not all be on the face."

Everyone asked: "Then where are they?"

Seeming to think of a past scene, Wang Ping pretended to be profound:

"In the place where the peach blossoms bloom..."

Everyone: "???"

It was quite an unclear and awesome meaning, and it always felt like there was some truth contained in it.

The person who spoke earlier continued:

"My Lord, this... this one also has something to ask you."

"I knew you had something, otherwise, how would you be willing to go to Yanyu Tower? Tell me, this constable will see if I can do it." Wang Ping glanced at him.

"I have a younger brother at home who hasn't had anything to do recently. Isn't our yamen going to recruit a few people this year? See if you can..."

"Is your brother capable?"

"Don't worry, he's definitely capable. He has a good physique and is a good material for martial arts."

"It's not up to you to say that. It's up to me."

"Then what do you think?"

"This matter..." Wang Ping paused:

"I need to weigh the money bag to know."

"Understood, understood." That person returned a knowing look.

"It's good that you understand. It's not that I'm making things difficult for you, it's the norm."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

"My Lord, when we drink tonight, can you tell us more about that Head Constable Chen? We brothers are very interested and always want to hear about him."

Several people obviously understood Wang Ping's itch.

"Yes, tell us more. It is said that you and him were very close before."

"Yes, yes."

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Wang Ping immediately smiled and said:

"Of course, my relationship with Yuan-ge'er is very good. We are like brothers from different mothers. He is my good big brother. If it weren't for him, how could I have become a head constable?

At that time, I jokingly said that I would let Yuan-ge'er help me a few times when he became successful in the future, and now what..."

Turning his head and speaking, Wang Ping suddenly stopped, as if he felt someone was watching him. Looking back, his tone suddenly paused, and he opened his mouth, muttering in disbelief:

"Yuan-ge'er!"
