It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

After the woman in black was patted on the shoulder by Zhou An, the murderous intention on her body disappeared without a trace.

At this time, Owen also reacted and said angrily: "It's useless. Even if I know I'm wrong at this time, it's useless!"

Owen was indeed angry enough, but a hint of joy could be heard in his angry words.

He felt that Zhou An was too reckless this time, because attacking a court official in public was a serious crime.

No one can run away! Not even Zhou An!

He felt that he had helped the second prince invisibly and could easily take down Zhou An completely.

Thinking of this, Owen raised his trembling arm and pointed at Zhou An. His tone had changed from anger to gloom: "Zhou An, you indulged the women under your command and attacked the imperial officials in public. This is a major crime committed by the imperial court. Da Chu's The law will never allow a arrogant person like you to do such a thing, Mr. Lu, if you haven't arrested him yet, what are you waiting for!"

Owen said as he struggled to stand up.

But before he could stand up, he felt a foot kicking him sideways.

The speed was so fast that he had no time to react before he was kicked.

His chest suffered severe pain, and Owen spurted out another mouthful of blood. His whole body felt like stars were shining in his eyes and he was feeling dizzy.

He saw the owner of this foot, smiling at him. At this moment, there was a bone-chilling chill that enveloped his whole body.

He knew very well what this chill represented, it was murderous intent.

It was as if he had actual murderous intent that sent chills down his spine.

"Impossible, how dare he do it!"

Such an idea appeared in Owen's mind, which shocked him and found it incredible.

After the woman in black seriously injured him just now, he felt that this opportunity had come. He could use the laws of the Chu Kingdom to make Zhou Anshi dead.

At that time, it will not only weaken the strength of the third prince, but also let the second prince see everything he has done.

Owen felt that Fei Huang was already waving to him, and he even saw himself scolding Fang Qiu.

He comes from a scholarly family, and many members of his family are serving as officials in various places, but this does not mean that he does not want to be favored by the second prince.

Now, he saw that he could take this opportunity to solve Zhou An's problem, but he never expected that Zhou An would kick him even harder.

There was a feeling of depression in his chest, and Zhou An's foot had already stepped on his chest.

Owen could feel that this foot was very heavy. If it were heavier by one or two points, his body would become a thin piece of skin.

That scene must have been very bloody.

But Owen also knew that Zhou An would never kill him because there were so many Maplewood State officials here.

"It doesn't matter if you hurt me, but do you dare to kill me?" Owen sneered.

Even though his chest hurt, he still mocked Zhou An, as if he was convinced.

Zhou An shook his head and said nothing.

When Owen saw this action, he also knew that Zhou An could not kill him, so he laughed and said: "Zhou An, you never expected that no matter how calm you are, you will be defeated by a woman. Now you are facing There are only two ways in front of you, either beg my forgiveness and I can make this matter peaceful, or punish you according to the laws of the Chu Kingdom. Even if you have the third prince behind you, you will not be able to avoid this catastrophe. "

What he said is right, so what if Zhou An has the third prince behind him?

Behind him is the second prince.

The second prince is much more capable than the third prince.

Whether it is a donkey or a horse, you can pull it out and see who has a strong background.

Zhou An heard what Irving said and knew exactly what Irving was thinking now. He also knew that this guy seemed to think that his background was very important, so he was not afraid of himself at all.

And this guy concluded that it was impossible for him to kill him in public.

But sometimes, life doesn't have to be taken. It's more comfortable and more suitable to solve the problem than directly killing the person.

Thinking of this, Zhou An put his elbows on his knees and added some strength.

"You want to compare my background with me, right?"

Owen felt out of breath originally, but after Zhou An increased his strength, he felt even more weak and dizzy.

After hearing what Zhou An said, Owen still retained a trace of sobriety.

"I have no background comparison with you. You have indeed violated the laws of the Chu Kingdom."

He is also a smart man, and he is clinging to this matter right now.

As long as he can seize this matter, he can even take this opportunity to completely bring Zhou An down.

Unexpectedly, Zhou An shook his head, as if he didn't care what he said at all, but said to himself: "To be clear, you just think that the second prince behind you is stronger than the third prince behind me, but if I say The third prince is not behind me, so what can you do?"

In fact, at this time, Zhou An was already preparing to carry Eunuch Wei out.

Eunuch Wei had told him personally at the beginning that if he ran into trouble and caused some trouble, he could mention Eunuch Wei's name.

Of course, in a situation like this, Eunuch Wei might not necessarily be able to help.

But Zhou An felt that he was just bringing the name out.

Sometimes, there are some people who are very young. In their youth and vigour, they don’t even need to have a background. They are fools.

What does it mean to use a name?

I'll just take it out first. As for what happens next, we'll talk about it later.

Thinking of this, Zhou An was ready to give the guy named Owen in front of him a little background shock.

But things were beyond his expectation. Before he could say Eunuch Wei's name, there was light footsteps on the stairs.

The footsteps came closer and closer, and soon the owner of the footsteps appeared at the top of the stairs.

Zhou An looked up and was slightly startled.

Not only him, but everyone present looked over, with expressions similar to Zhou An's.

I saw a woman in white appearing at the top of the stairs.

The woman is dressed in white, which cannot hide her graceful figure, and her long hair is like a waterfall, giving people a sense of elegance and agility.

Unfortunately, the woman's face is covered with a layer of white gauze, and her true face cannot be seen.

But even so, just the exposed forehead and eyebrows can convey a feeling to others.

This feeling is that the woman in front of me is absolutely stunning.

In addition, the woman in white gave everyone present an aura.

This breath is noble and pure, like the ice on the mountain, exuding a terrifying cold air.

The combination of ice and beauty makes the woman at this moment like a white lotus on the top of the mountain, or like the ray of moonlight shining down from the dark sky, which is beyond sight and beyond reach.

Of course, in addition to the aura of the woman in white, there is also the token hanging on the woman's waist.

This token seemed to be tailor-made for her, and there was not even the slightest sense of inconsistency in this pure white dress.

There are three words written on it - Supervision Department.

Anyone who is involved in official circles knows this woman's identity.

The ninth disciple of the Imperial Master—Ye Shuang!

Everyone in the officialdom is afraid of those from the Supervision Department. Who can guarantee absolute cleanliness in this officialdom these days?

If the Inspectorate really wanted to investigate those trivial matters, how many people present would be able to escape?

So when Ye Shuang appeared at the door, the officials lowered their eyes and did not dare to look over there any more.

Owen also understood that he really did not expect that at this time, the ninth disciple of the National Master would come over.

Of course, after being shocked, he seemed to have reacted. He suddenly pointed at Zhou An and said loudly: "Master Ye, this person has violated the laws of the Chu Kingdom by attacking an official of the imperial court in public. Please take action, Master Ye, to kill this person." Stop it and hand it over to the corresponding department for handling!"

As he said that, he glanced at Lu Zhouling with a resentful look.

Because when Irving said those words, Lu Zhouling never took action and showed no intention to capture Zhou An.

Because of this, Owen was very angry at Lu Zhouling's performance.

But only Lu Zhouling knew this matter.

Take Zhou An, are you kidding me?

At this time, if Zhou An becomes really crazy, no one here will be able to escape alive.

Lu Zhouling could clearly distinguish the seriousness of the matter, and also knew that it was Irving who initiated this matter.

So after hearing what Irving said, Lu Zhouling quickly said to Ye Shuang.

"Mr. Ye, things are not what you think. Although Mr. Zhou took action in this matter first, Mr. Ou had some provocations against Mr. Zhou before that. If the responsibility really needs to be shared, both parties are responsible."

When Owen heard this, he said angrily: "Sir, you must not be indifferent to right from wrong. I am not provoking, I just want..."

He didn't finish his words because he couldn't say the next words.

Zhou An looked at Ye Shuang, with a few memories in his eyes, and then said four words calmly: "Long time no see."

haven't seen you for a long time?

When these four words echoed on the second floor of the restaurant, the officials present nodded and focused all their attention on Zhou An.

Everyone here is not a fool, so they naturally know the weight of these four words.

This means that Zhou An and Ye Shuang know each other and have a close relationship.

If this were not the case, Zhou An would never have said the words "Long time no see".

A few people are already thinking about it.

They planned to pay Zhou An a good visit after the banquet.

After all, in this situation, it is their honor to be able to meet Zhou An.

Owen was also dumbfounded.

He was in a daze.

What's going on?

Is this rhythm no longer within my control?

Why did Zhou An know the ninth disciple of the Imperial Master?

He believed that even if Zhou An knew people from the Supervision Department, he would not be so shocked.

But the key point is that this woman is the ninth disciple of the Imperial Master, and a closed disciple.

With this status, if you know Zhou An, then what he just said is simply humiliating yourself.

Comparing backgrounds with this person would be too disrespectful, right?

The second prince's background is indeed very strong, but you are always one generation behind the leaders of the three major organizations.

And the ninth disciple of the Imperial Master of the Supervision Department was a direct descendant of Tie Da.

Don't talk about other things, he is just one of many chess pieces in the hands of the second prince. It is impossible for the second prince to offend the ninth disciple of the Imperial Master for his sake.

Thinking of this, Owen's eyes showed a hint of sadness.

He knew it might be the end this time.

Ye Shuang has been standing at the entrance of the stairs. Although the veil blocks her appearance, the star-like eyes revealed are somewhat deserted.

Everyone outside knows this.

This desolate character is Ye Shuang's trademark.

But only Zhou An knew that Ye Shuang must be panicking at this time.

Ye Shuang was indeed panicked.

Zhou An's guess was not wrong.

She came to Maplewood State this time because she had something important to do with Zhou An, and it was arranged by her teacher, but she really didn't expect to encounter such a thing as soon as she came.

With her strength, she had already heard clearly when she was at the bottom of the stairs.

But she came up anyway.

Then, I heard Zhou An say the words "Long time no see".

As soon as she mentioned these four words, Ye Shuang had some memories in her heart.

She seemed to remember that when she was in Anding County, she came into contact with Zhou An in gray clothes, and the two of them often went out to eat together.

"I don't know if that little noodle stall is doing very well now."

"And the fried dough sticks porridge at Baozi Shop is not as delicious as before."

Unknowingly, Ye Shuang seemed to be thinking a little wrong. Although he maintained a cold and calm look, to Zhou An, this expression was more like a dazed expression.

After Zhou An said this, Ye Shuang responded with the same four words in a cold attitude: "Long time no see."

If these four words appeared on other people, they might have a polite meaning, but when they appeared on Ye Shuang, even Ye Shuang's cold personality sent a message to everyone present.

That is, Ye Shuang and Zhou An do know each other, and their relationship is not shallow.

After all, everyone in the world knew about the aloof character of the Nine Disciples of the Imperial Master. It would be impossible for her to say such a thing except for a close relationship.

Everyone looked at Zhou An's expression, which became increasingly weird.

Some of the new officials even seemed to be trying to please them.

"Wait a minute, I've finished handling the things here, let's talk again." Zhou An said, then turned his eyes and looked at Owen on the ground, and said: "Where did we talk just now? Yes, you want to compare the background with me ,Right?"

Owen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could he compare with Zhou An's background?

Although he had this idea subconsciously, he never said it out loud!

Now that Zhou An was given this name inexplicably, he felt that he was a bit unjust.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Owen's expression of being wronged is actually only seen by the weak.

When this kind of thing didn't happen just now, Irving acted very forcefully, and he felt like you must listen to me.

Now that his side is weak, he immediately shows this state. Some officials even feel that Owen's behavior is quite shameful.

Zhou An didn't know what these officials were thinking, so he continued: "Now that you want to convict me, let's figure it out."

"No conviction, no conviction!" Owen finally accepted. He shook his head quickly and said, "I brought this on myself and it has nothing to do with Mr. Zhou."

Zhou An raised his eyebrows: "But that's not what you said just now."

"I was drunk just now, that's why I made this mistake." Owen knelt down very smoothly: "Mr. Zhou, just treat me as a fart, and it means nothing. Is that okay?"

He did kneel down very quickly, but there was nothing he could do.

If he doesn't kneel down, if he continues at this pace, he will definitely suffer a big loss.

"That's enough." Zhou An put his foot down and then looked around: "Everyone has seen it. He said it had nothing to do with me. Even he didn't pursue it. I didn't violate any laws of the Great Chu Kingdom. Law."

No one present said a word. They lowered their heads silently and looked at the dishes on the table without saying a word.

Owen immediately got up from the ground and said quickly: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I dropped these myself, and they will never have anything to do with you."

After saying this, he even vomited blood, indicating that he had fallen hard.

He quickly returned to his position, even though he was covered in dust, and even though his colleagues around him looked at him with contempt, it was nothing at all, as if they hadn't seen him.

Zhou An nodded and then looked at Ye Shuang.

In fact, he has his own plans to keep this Owen.

It is really not suitable to kill someone directly in such a public place.

What's more, by sparing this man's life, he can also show the master behind him that he is not someone to be trifled with.

If you mess with yourself, you have to pay a small price.

Owen is just a small character.

Zhou An's purpose is to give the person behind this small character a shock.

Ye Shuang felt Zhou An's gaze and was a little flustered, but on the surface it was still deserted.

She did panic, especially when Zhou An looked at her, she remembered the previous encounter with Zhou An.

"This man is one of the very few people who knows my true face."

It was this kind of thought that made Ye Shuang panic.

But fortunately, she has also received special training in facial expressions.

"I have something to do with you." Ye Shuang said coldly.

Zhou An nodded, naturally knowing that this visit was by no means in vain, so he turned his head, clasped his fists at the people around him, especially Lu Zhouling who was attending the banquet, and said: "Master Lu, I still have something to do. This time I’m going to leave now, and when I have the chance, I’ll invite all the adults here to have a little gathering together to make amends.”

People have to have some etiquette.

Zhou An has no other advantages, but he has one particularly good advantage, that is, no matter how high his status is, he understands how to be human and worldly.

Saying this before leaving also gave these officials enough face.

Lu Zhouling also held up his hands and said, "Since Mr. Zhou has official business, he should go and do it first. Naturally, I will continue to preside over this place."

He was also a good person, and he made it clear that Zhou An had official business, so he indirectly blocked the others' mouths.

Zhou An didn't say anything more, turned around and came to the stairs and said, "Let's go."

Ye Shuang looked past Zhou An and rested on the woman in black next to Zhou An.

The woman in black kept holding Zhou An's hand and looked at Ye Shuang curiously.

After the two looked at each other, Ye Shuang's desolate expression and the woman in black's confusion intertwined with each other, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Soon, the three people left directly.

The second floor of the restaurant was quiet again.

Lu Zhouling patted the table and said, "They are all people who have seen big storms. They can do whatever they want. Do you understand?"

With his words, the officials present became lively again, as if they had forgotten everything that had just happened.

As for whether they have really forgotten or pretended to forget, only they themselves know clearly.

…

After leaving the restaurant, Zhou An led the way, while the woman in black and Ye Shuang followed silently half a step behind.

Along the way, no one spoke.

Until he arrived at Zhou An's house, when Zhou An opened the door and walked in, as soon as he closed the door, he heard a long exhale from behind him.

You can tell without looking that it must have come from Ye Shuang.

Zhou An didn't look back and said: "There is still a yard, don't show it, let's talk about it after entering the house. Come on, follow me into the house."

Behind him, Ye Shuang had just relaxed, but when he heard Zhou An's words, he immediately regained his composure.

This was a courtyard, not a private space, so she almost couldn't hold back.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou An took Ye Shuang into his room.

After the door was completely closed, Ye Shuang finally relaxed and even took off the veil on his face.

Even Zhou An was in a daze when he saw Ye Shuang's face in white clothes.

Ye Shuang and the woman in black are both extremely beautiful, but they represent two different kinds of beauty.

Ye Shuang is as beautiful as a lotus on an iceberg, but after careful inspection, you can feel that the inside of this lotus is as hot as fire.

And the woman in black is the beauty of weirdness and forbiddenness.

Both beauties are different.

Back in the house, the woman in black also relaxed, let go of Zhou An's hand, and played with her toy, a chair next to her.

This was the first thing Zhou An taught her. She had an inexplicable fondness for chairs, sitting on them and swaying left and right.

But his eyes never left Ye Shuang.

"It really suffocates me to death." Ye Shuang patted his chest and let out a long breath, causing a slight tremor. Then he sat down in his position and pressed his whole body weight on the back of the chair, making a standard salted fish lying down. posture.

He even picked up the tea cup in a familiar manner, took a sip, and squinted his eyes, looking like he was enjoying it.

Zhou An sat next to him, refilling his cup of tea with Ye Shuang, and said with a smile: "I still like your state in gray clothes."

There is always a sense of inconsistency in this state of white clothes, like a piece of ice with a ball of fire frozen inside.

Ye Shuang didn't take it seriously, but still maintained the same posture and said in a silly tone: "That's not possible. I've been tense lately and I don't dare to go out to eat."

As she spoke, Ye Shuang, with a hint of womanly temper, gently patted the armrest of the chair.

Zhou An said: "Show me your money bag."

Ye Shuang was stunned for a moment, then she held her purse tightly and looked at Zhou An with a vigilant gaze: "What do you want to do?"

"I just want to see how many snacks there are in it." Zhou An said.

Ye Shuang shook her head quickly: "No, not at all."

Zhou An couldn't help but be speechless.

Ye Shuang still had the same temper as before, and she valued food more than anything else.

Of course, he didn't tease her any longer and just chatted with Ye Shuang in the room.

At this moment, the situation in the room seemed a little strange.

The woman in black sat on the chair, swaying left and right. As the chair creaked, the woman in black kept looking at Ye Shuang blankly.

Ye Shuang, on the other hand, was chatting with Zhou An, and they were talking about recent events. The more they chatted, the more enthusiastic they became, as if they had opened up the conversation.

If outsiders saw it, they would definitely be shocked, because the ninth disciple of the dignified National Master turned out to have a completely different appearance, and no one would believe him if he told him.

"Yu Hang was taken away by the Prime Minister and closed as a disciple? What is this guy trying to do?" Zhou An touched his chin.

During the chat, of course he learned about Yu Hang's situation.

Now, not only was Yu Hang taken away and made a closed disciple, he was also transferred to a government to serve as a government official.

This was a huge promotion. Yu Hang had only been working in the county for a long time before he was immediately promoted. This speed alone was already beyond the reach of many people.

In fact, the upward transfer originally required selection, but this time the situation was special and many traitors were purged at once, so Da Chu also made an exception.

But Zhou An was not surprised in this regard. He was surprised that he was accepted as a closed disciple by the prime minister.

Among the three major forces in the Chu Kingdom, three extremely powerful figures, Zhou An felt that in terms of comparison with Lao Yin, the Prime Minister was definitely second to none.

Judging from the current situation, Zhou An believed that Yu Hang definitely had some secret that the prime minister took a fancy to.

Ye Shuang scratched his hair, then took out a snack from his purse, and while eating, he said: "I don't know, even my teacher doesn't know. Anyway, the Prime Minister wants to accept Yu Hang as a closed disciple. , even if you fancy Yu Hang, you are so unlucky, but don’t worry, the Prime Minister’s own disciples are always very good.”

Ye Shuang ate this snack very quickly. In the blink of an eye, half of it was already eaten.

After eating, Ye Shuang's eyes showed a tangled look.

After struggling for a long time, he put the snack in front of Zhou An.

"Then I'll give you a little bit to eat. I found this in a county before. There isn't much left."

For a foodie, being able to share something is an incredible thing.

Zhou An was not polite, he took it in his hand and poured it into his mouth, which made Ye Shuang feel distressed.

When the woman in black next to her saw it, her eyes rolled slightly, then she came to Zhou An's side, stretched out her white hand, and patted Zhou An's shoulder with a snap.

The remaining part was given to the woman in black by Zhou An.

The woman in black picked one up and put it in her mouth, showing a surprised expression, and then her eyes fell on Ye Shuang's pink purse.

"It's delicious..." She said in a confused tone.

Zhou An knew that at this time, the woman in black had become very interested in Ye Shuang's food.

"I don't have any anymore." Ye Shuang covered the money bag again, looking pitiful.

The money bag was the same pink color as Zhou An's, and was hidden deepest by Ye Shuang.

The woman in black looked at Zhou An blankly.

Zhou An touched the head of the woman in black, ruffled her hair, and then said: "Go back and sit down."

"Oh." The woman in black obediently returned to the chair and began to sway from side to side again, looking like she was well taken care of.

Ye Shuang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "By the way, Zhou An, I do have something important to come here this time. You and I should go to Fuhu Villa."

At this time, Ye Shuang had already talked about everything he should talk about, so he started talking about business and brought the topic back abruptly.

Zhou An knew that the topic was coming, so he smiled: "You asked me to go to Fuhu Villa with you as soon as you came, but you didn't tell me what it was about. I can't just agree indifferently, right?"

Only then did Ye Shuang realize. He patted his fair and beautiful forehead, looking like he was dizzy.

"Just thinking about eating it, I almost forgot that this is actually what happened."

Ye Shuang's voice sounded in the room.

When Ye Shuang explained the whole story, Zhou An understood.

Fuhu Villa is on a mountain far away from Fenglin State, about a few hundred miles away.

That mountain is called Fuhu Mountain and is under the jurisdiction of Fuhu Villa.

In Fuhu Villa, there are all powerful warriors.

In the arena, it can be considered a very strong force.

But not long ago, something happened at Fuhu Villa.

The old village owner didn't know what happened, but he was suddenly seriously injured, and asked the Zhengui Si for help.

In fact, according to the emperor's wishes, the Zhensi Si will be in charge of the affairs of the Jianghu. However, as long as there is no big action, the Zhensi Si will not interfere with some of the fighting and bloodshed in the Jianghu.

But this time it was different.

The reason is very simple. The young master of Fuhu Villa is a strange person. He has the power of martial arts in the whole world, but he has become a very rare scholar.

More importantly, this scholar was admitted to the imperial examination, and under the operation of Fuhu Villa, he even became an official in Beijing.

After the old village owner was injured for no apparent reason this time, the young village owner returned to Fuhu Villa to visit, and wanted to use his contacts to find out who did it.

Originally, all of this was still logical until now.

But what I never expected was that once I left, I would never come back.

The entire Fuhu Villa was wiped out, and no one even knew who had done it.

Including the young owner who went to Fuhu Villa, they also died inside.

This matter was very important, so it also alarmed the Zhengui Si.

As a result, the town police officers were dispatched and began to conduct continuous investigations, but in the end something big happened.

After they conducted a detailed inspection of the bodies of the dead people in Fuhu Villa, they found that among the corpses in Fuhu Villa, the only one missing was the young owner.

The young village owner was an official in the capital. He was sure to return to Fuhu Villa at that time, but inexplicably no body was found. Therefore, the police officer placed the target of suspicion on the young village owner.

And this matter also needs to be handled by the Supervision Department because it is not just people in the world, but also officials.

"This is the general situation. The teacher said that I have gone through the first experience, so I can go out to perform tasks again. The teacher also said that this time, let me call you too." Ye Shuang said.

"Now, all the corpses in Fuhu Villa have been moved away. We are going to the scene to have a look. Maybe there will be new discoveries. After all, our Supervision Department has many methods."

After hearing this, Zhou An understood the specific situation and touched his chin: "Can I refuse?"

To be honest, he really doesn't want to get involved in this matter. He just needs to be honest and practice his skills. There is no need.

Unexpectedly, after saying this, Ye Shuang shook his head.

"The teacher said, you'd better not refuse this matter, because this matter is likely to be related to you, and it is very important. To be precise, it is related to her."

At this time, Ye Shuang had actually been repeating the words of the Imperial Master in a matter-of-fact manner, so there was no subjective emotion involved.

After saying this, Ye Shuang began to recount again.

"She knows one of the eight unique skills, and that eighth unique skill is known as the eight unique skills with the strongest defense among the entire eight unique skills."

"This eight unique skills is called Tongtian Arithmetic!"
