Chapter 1770: Xing Piaopiao is sweating like rain!

After explaining some things to Bai Ze, Chen Changsheng took Xing Piaopiao and set off for the capital.

However, facing this mysterious senior, Xing Piaopiao was naturally full of curiosity.

Regarding Xing Piaopiao's occasional stealth glances, Chen Changsheng said calmly, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There's no need to hide it."

After getting Chen Changsheng's permission, Xing Piaopiao asked, "Sir, how high is your cultivation?"

Faced with this question, Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "My cultivation is okay, not too high nor too low. At least there are very few people in the world who can kill me."

"So, you have already reached this level?"

"Then why should we go to the capital and have to face other people's opinions? Wouldn't it be better to just go there and kill them directly?"

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng tilted his head and looked at Xing Piaopiao beside him and said.

"He has some brains and actually knows that we are going to the capital to see other people's faces."

"It seems that you, the little bandit leader, are not as stupid as I thought."

Seeing Chen Changsheng's playful eyes, Xing Piaopiao chuckled and said, "Sir, although Jiudong Shibazhai is a bandit den, it also has a large number of people."

"If I didn't understand anything, I would have died long ago."

"Having this awareness is quite impressive. So, what kind of role do you think you can play?"

"I will play whatever role you need me to play."

After receiving this answer, Chen Changsheng smiled faintly and then said.

"Your future is not with me. I am only responsible for teaching you skills."

"Although the Nine Caves and Eighteen Villages may seem large, there are only a few truly talented people there."

"Under normal circumstances, it won't take long for these people to be cleared out."

"When that time comes, there will be plenty of things for you to do, provided you have the ability."

"Thank you, sir!"

Hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Xing Piaopiao's eyes flashed with excitement.

Although Jiangshan has a close relationship with his master, anyone with a little common sense can see that the real person in charge is Chen Changsheng.

This means that if you want to occupy a core position in the future, you must get Chen Changsheng's approval.

"Forget about the polite words. Who are the people behind the Nine Caves and Eighteen Villages?"

"Duke Zhenguo, Tie Yunpeng."

"It's him again. If I remember correctly, Baitong Chamber of Commerce seems to be his business as well."

"In reply to your question, the Baitong Chamber of Commerce is indeed the property of the Duke of Zhenguo."

"Currently, there are three strongest forces in the Great Song Dynasty. The one with the most advantages is naturally the Great Song Royal Family."

"Besides that, there's Grand Tutor Pang and the Duke of Zhenguo."

"Grand Tutor Pang is the prince's teacher, and more than half of the officials in the court are his students and old friends."

"In addition, Master Pang's cultivation is even more mysterious. It is said that he has surpassed the limit of the ninth level of the Immortal King."

"However, the Duke of Zhenguo is different from Grand Tutor Pang. He is the first king of a different surname in the Song Dynasty. His prestige in the army is extremely high, and he even has a tendency to overshadow his master."

After receiving this answer, Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "I can still barely understand this Master Pang, but I don't quite understand this Duke Zhenguo."

"Military power has always been the most important thing for an imperial dynasty, and kings of different surnames are something that all imperial powers try their best to avoid."

"How did Tie Yunpeng get to where he is today?"

Upon hearing this, Xing Piaopiao explained, "Back then, the Song Dynasty naturally didn't want to confer the title of King of a different surname."

"But the situation was so urgent at the time. If we hadn't enfeoffed this king of a different surname, the Song Dynasty would have likely changed dynasties."

"Are there rebels in the Song Dynasty?"

"Yes, thirty thousand years ago, the four princes were dissatisfied with Your Majesty, so they rebelled together."

"In just less than three hundred years, the Song Dynasty lost about half of its territory."

"It was at that time that Grand Tutor Pang and the Duke of Zhenguo emerged."

"At that time, Grand Tutor Pang fought a desperate battle with the Eighteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince's bodyguards, while the Thirteenth and Ninth Princes took the opportunity to attack the capital."

"The Duke of Zhenguo controlled half of the military power of the Song Dynasty at that time, and his cultivation had even reached the ninth level of the Immortal King."

"Because he was worried that the Duke of Zhenguo would gather his own troops and refuse to come to the rescue, His Majesty issued an edict to confer the title of King of a different surname upon the Duke of Zhenguo."

"In the end, the Duke of Zhenguo displayed his divine power and successfully captured the two princes and killed their guardians."

"This is the fundamental reason why the three powers were in a balance of power in the Great Song Dynasty."

After receiving this answer, Chen Changsheng frowned and said, "Why is this part of history not recorded in the history books of the Song Dynasty?"

"This is a secret that can only be passed on orally. Since you are an outsider, it is normal that you don't know."

"brush!"

Before she finished speaking, Xing Piaopiao knew that she had said the wrong thing, and Chen Changsheng's cold eyes followed.

"Who told you that?"

"Sir, I just said it casually, don't take it seriously."

"one!"

"Sir, this is really not something someone else told me."

"two!"

"I guessed it myself. Young Master's cultivation is unparalleled, but there is no legend of you in the Song Dynasty, so you can only be an outsider."

"three!"

"Boom!"

Xing Piaopiao knelt down on the ground and said with his head down, "When I was looking for information about my great-grandmaster, I vaguely heard that he seemed to have left this world that year."

"Young Master, since you returned with your Grandmaster, you can only be a person from the outside world."

Looking at Xing Piaopiao shivering on the ground, Chen Changsheng was silent for two breaths, then spoke.

"Get up!"

"Even if you know something, don't tell it casually, because it can kill people."

"Thank you, sir!"

Xing Piaopiao stood up trembling, as if she had just experienced a life-and-death catastrophe.

As the leader, she knew very well how many people there were in Jiudong Shibazhai.

But Chen Changsheng's casual words of "clean it up" had already determined the fate of these people.

Someone who can decide the life and death of so many people without changing his expression naturally wouldn't care about his own insignificant life.

If he wanted to kill me, my master couldn't save me, and my master's grandfather couldn't save me either.

"Piaopiao, I'm letting you learn skills from my side because of your great-grandmaster's kindness."

"It is already a great mercy on my part to spare your life."

"I hope you will cherish this opportunity and my kindness."

"Young Master is teaching, Piaopiao understands!"

"You do not understand!"

Chen Changsheng looked at Xing Piaopiao seriously and said, "Do you think I was cruel in clearing out the people from the Nine Caves and Eighteen Villages?"

"If you want to clean them up, they deserve to die!"

"They don't deserve to die at all. It's you who should die. You have to bear at least half of the evil of the Nine Caves and Eighteen Villages!"

"brush!"

After saying this, Xing Piaopiao knelt down again.

But this time, Chen Changsheng didn't let her stand up, but continued talking to himself.

"You often call yourselves heroes of the outlaw forest, but your actions are hardly worthy of the word 'hero'."
