Chapter 546 - 47

429  This is not false, because in addition to discussing the system with Zhao Ya these two days, Chen Jie occasionally took time to discuss martial arts.

  Zhao Ya's talent in martial arts is indeed very high, and she also has a famous teacher to guide her. Her understanding of martial arts is definitely better than Chen Jie's.

  According to the conversation, Chen Jie learned that Zhao Ya's strength was also at the Baodan realm. In fact, this was normal. With the strength of the royal palace, it was possible to force Zhao Ya to a higher level.

  However, what Zhao Ya learned was a very powerful martial art, which required a lot of basic skills. If she wanted to improve, she had to take one step at a time. Otherwise, with the strength of the palace, it would not be a problem to improve her strength.

  As for what kind of martial arts Zhao Ya learned, Chen Jie once asked tentatively, but Zhao Ya kept silent, and it was obvious that he was intentionally avoiding the question, so Chen Jie could not force him to ask.

  Because of the recent discussion on martial arts with Zhao Ya, Chen Jie's understanding of martial arts has reached a new level, and therefore his strength has also improved. Although he is not at the Baodan realm, in terms of real strength, he should be no weaker than Nan Batian before he was injured.

  That's why he had the upper hand in the battle just now.

  Chen Jie slapped towards Nan Batian's heart and was about to hit him, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking air in his ears.

  Chen Jie was startled, and when he turned around he saw a chain knife flying towards him, with a strong sword energy on it.

  It was obvious that a powerful person in the Baodan realm had taken action, so Chen Jie quickly took a step back. However, he did not expect that the chain knife would actually slash towards him directly.

  Chen Jie was shocked and slapped the chain knife with his palm, but he didn't expect that a huge force would suddenly knock Chen Jie away.

  At the same time, the chain knife chased Chen Jie again.

  Li Maner said with a smile on her face: "Young man, come and play with your sister."

  Then the chain knife seemed to have consciousness and chased after Chen Jie and attacked him.

  Chen Jie was shocked when he saw this. The knife was like a maggot stuck in his bones and he couldn't get rid of it.

  Chen Jie swung out with both palms, and although he was able to knock the knife back, it soon rolled back again. At this time, Chen Jie was directly in a passive position.

  Seeing this scene, Old Monster Liu and Mu Ge exchanged a glance, and Old Monster Liu said, "Go ahead."

  Qimuge waved his hand and said, "Wait."

  He actually stopped Old Monster Liu from helping Chen Jie. Old Monster Liu was stunned and looked at Qimuge and asked, "What do you mean?"

  Qimuge said, "My Lord, you haven't made a move yet."

  Yelu did not take action indeed. He had already noticed that the beautiful woman wanted to save Nan Batian and attack Chen Jiusi, but he did not attack the beautiful woman immediately, giving her a chance to kill Chen Jiusi. He had some thoughts in his mind.

  Chen Jie's relationship with the princess is getting better and better, which has greatly affected his rule over the Mian River, but the princess has no choice but to endure it.

  But now that senior sister Nan Batian wants to kill Chen Jie, he can take this opportunity to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

  Unfortunately, Chen Jiusi is as cunning as a loach and is ruthless.

  Yelu secretly said what a pity, then turned around and saw a figure in white flash by the side curtain not far away.

  He thought to himself, the princess is here, there is nothing he can do, he can only raise his hand and give the beautiful woman a [Splitting Palm]

  "Bold!"

  Then he shouted "Bold!". When the beautiful woman saw Yelu's palm coming towards her, she directly retracted the chain knife, fought with the air-splitting palm through the air, and then retracted the chain knife.

  At this time, Yelu slammed the table and stood up and said, "How arrogant! Two rebels who have colluded with Zoroastrianism dare to cause trouble in Mianshui County. Come, arrest these two people for me!"

  Yelu shouted loudly, and the guards who were accompanying him all drew their swords, looking like a tense situation.

  Seeing this scene, Nan Batian suddenly became nervous, but Yu Maner didn't care at all.

  At the same time, a voice was heard from outside: "Haha, Yelu, you have such great authority!"

  Um!

  Hearing this, everyone's eyes were focused on the door, and then they saw a cavalry wearing red armor rushing into the venue, and immediately people and horses were thrown to the ground.

  When Yelu saw the red-armored cavalry, his brows immediately frowned.

  The garrison commander's office!

  At the same time, a man rode out slowly on a horse, glanced at Yelu and said, "Lord Yelu, you have great authority. Whoever you say has liaisons with Zoroastrianism, then whoever has liaisons with Zoroastrianism, then you can see if I have liaisons with Zoroastrianism as well!"

  After hearing this, everyone looked over and saw the garrison commander Battan.

  Batan rode on his horse, looking down at Yelu, his eyes full of provocation.

  When Yelu saw Batan, his eyes narrowed slightly and he wondered in his heart why he came to Mianshui.

  But he still clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Your humble servant greets the governor."

  The Garrison Office is a military unit arranged by Daqian in each prefecture. It has 2,000 elite cavalry under its command and is responsible for suppressing rebellion in a certain area.

  Its chief administrative officer, the garrison commander, was of the sixth rank, second only to the prefect of Huangzhou Prefecture, who was of the fifth rank, and was on the same level as the prefectural magistrate.

  Therefore, Batan's official position was one level higher than Yelu's.

  Batan glanced at Yelu and said, "Master Yelu, you are polite."

  Then he scanned the room and said, "It's quite lively here, what's going on?"

  After hearing this, Yelu said, "It's the inauguration ceremony of the new leader of the fishing gang."

  "Haha, the leader of a small fishing gang actually made such a grand event. He is really arrogant. If you don't know him, you would think he is the successor to the position of gang leader."

  Battan said, and then he scanned the whole place and asked, "Who is the new leader of this fishing gang?"

  Chen Jie looked at Batan's arrogant look and knew that he was looking for trouble, so he bowed and said, "Sir, I am the new leader of the Fishermen's Gang, Chen Jiusi!"

  Chen Jie clasped his fists, neither humble nor arrogant. Battan looked over and said with a smile on his face: "Hahaha... You are the shameless guy who framed your own gang leader and tried to seize the position of gang leader!"

  Chen Jie frowned slightly, and the people around him also frowned.

  This garrison commander was obviously here to cause trouble.

  Chen Jie said calmly, "Sir, you have been deceived by Nan Batian. He has secretly communicated with Zoroastrianism and intends to rebel. He is wanted by Lord Yelu. I was appointed as the leader of this gang in a time of crisis. How come I have become a shameless person in your mouth?"

  "How dare you, a mere Han Chinese pariah, talk back to me? I think you are the one who has secretly communicated with the Zoroastrians. Are you ready to rebel?"

  Batan looked at Chen Jie with disdain in his eyes. How dare a Han Chinese become an enemy of us Mulan people? He really doesn't know how to live or die.

  Upon hearing this, Chen Jie clasped his fists and said, "Sir, everything must be based on evidence. Even though you are the garrison commander, you can't just accuse someone out of thin air."

  After hearing this, Batan said, "I am framing you. Haha, Yelu, let me ask you, what evidence do you have for your claim that Nan Batian secretly communicated with the Zoroastrians?"

  Upon hearing this, Yelu clasped his fists and said, "Sir, we have evidence. First, we found a counter-letter, which is from Nan Batian colluding with the Zoroastrian demon Sun Tiechui. The evidence is irrefutable. In addition, we also found a large amount of weapons. These are all evidence."

  Batan frowned and looked at Yelu and said, "Why do I feel that the counter-intelligence letter is a frame-up of Nan Batian by this thief, and there are also a large number of weapons. I asked Nan Batian to manufacture those weapons and sold them to my garrison yamen."

  Yelu frowned and said, "Sir, that letter is a handwritten letter. As for the military equipment, the military equipment of the garrison has always been provided by the government. How could they purchase it from the fishing gang alone?"

  "Oh, as a garrison commander, I need to report to you, the county darughachi, to buy some military equipment?"

  Batan glanced at Yelu and said, "Even though you are from the Yelu family, you cannot bargain in front of me."

  Yelu was silent.

  Batan said: "Let me explain here, Nan Batian is the secret agent of my garrison yamen. Even if he has connections with Zoroastrianism, it is for undercover and to gather intelligence."

  After hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

  This is a hard wash, right? But no one can refute it. The authority of the Mulan people cannot be questioned.

  Yelu frowned slightly and looked at Chen Jie, only to see that Chen Jie was very calm.

  Because Chen Jie understood that the rules of the game for the Mulan people were that the strong controlled everything.

  The Mulan people still use a semi-slavery and semi-feudal system, so the strong have absolute control. In other words, in this game, as long as you find a bigger backer, you can ignore a lot of evidence.

  Just like Batan, he can say with a straight face that Nan Batian is innocent, even if he has contacted the Zoroastrianism, it was only for the purpose of investigating intelligence!

  This was almost blatant cheating, but no one could refute it.

  Everyone looked at Batan in anger but dared not say anything. Batan looked at everyone and said, "So, now the situation is clear. Nan Batian is not secretly communicating with the Zoroastrians, but is my secret agent. In this case, your so-called evidence is nothing but a joke."

  "But you used this evidence to take down my position as the leader of the secret agents, Yelu."

  Batan looked at Yelu, who then looked up at Batan. Batan said, "I will not pursue your negligence, but I will never forgive a shameless person like Chen Jiusi who framed the leader and sought power by any means necessary. Someone, take this thief down for me!"

  "yes!"

  Battan waved his hand and immediately ordered his men to arrest Chen Jie.

  Seeing that Battan was so arrogant, Chen Xiaohu, Zhou Chu and other brothers of the fishing gang could not help but shout, "Who dares to touch our leader?"

  Batan frowned and said, "Oh, you dare to gather a crowd to resist the imperial court. Very good, arrest them all. I suspect that these people are the evil people of Zoroastrianism. Arrest them all without sparing a single one."

  "How dare you!"

  Xiaohu shouted angrily and drew out his sword. The surrounding disciples of the Fisherman's Gang also drew out their own swords and confronted Battan and the others.

  Seeing this, Battan said, "Very good. Did you see that? They have already drawn their swords. This is a blatant rebellion. Come on, suppress the rebels! Kill them without mercy!"

  After hearing this, the Red Armored Knights immediately drew their weapons. The lowest of these Red Armored Knights was at the Liujin Realm, and the highest even had seven captains at the Huajin Realm and a deputy commander at the Baodan Realm.

  At this time, at the command, they immediately formed a charge formation.

  Such a powerful red-armored cavalry is enough to suppress the disciples of the Fishermen's Gang present. Moreover, when the red-armored cavalry charges, it is really difficult for these disciples of the Fishermen's Gang to compete with them.

  It looked like a brutal massacre.

  Battan looked down at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiusi, I'll give you a chance. If you just surrender, I will forgive all the lowly people under your command. How do you think?"

  Batan looked at Chen Jie with a very arrogant attitude, as if he was giving Chen Jie alms.

  Chen Jie looked at Batan and said, "Sir, what if I don't surrender?"

  Battan said, "Humph, don't blame me then. It just so happens that the quota for suppressing bandits assigned by the higher-ups has not been gathered yet, and your heads of more than a thousand people are just enough to satisfy the task."

  Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and said, "Sir, you are killing innocent people to gain credit, aren't you afraid of being investigated by the higher-ups?"

  Batan laughed when he heard this and said, "Investigate, who dares to investigate me?"

  "Inspector."

  Chen Jie said three words, and Batan laughed and said, "Inspector, haha, that's just for show. Besides, even if the inspector came to Huangzhou Prefecture, what does it matter? With his authority, he can only investigate the seventh-rank county darughachi. If they want to investigate me, humph, they have to ask for permission again!"

  Batan said arrogantly, and then Batan looked at Chen Jie and said: "Besides, I am not afraid to tell you that even if he asks for an order, he can't do anything to me. I can't investigate!"

  "Hahaha, really?"

  Batan spoke arrogantly. He had the capital to be arrogant. As the governor of a place and the third most important person in Huangzhou Prefecture, even the Darughachi of Huangzhou Prefecture could not do anything to him because he had a backer.

  And this background is very strong!

  "Haha, Battan, you have such great authority!"

  Just as Batan was shouting, a sneer was suddenly heard, and then four people walked out from behind the stage. The leader was dressed in white, and it was Inspector Zhao Ya.
