Chapter 164: No one knows Deputy Hall Master Zhang!
On the black wood cliff.

The Chengde Hall looks solemn and majestic in the sunlight.

The white marble archway in the square has nine dragon reliefs in different postures, and the four words "benefiting the common people" are extremely majestic.

Everyone who passed by couldn't help but feel shaken, and their reverence for the Eastern Patriarch increased by three points.

The man came out from the pass in front of the Black Wood Cliff.

He was wearing a yellow silk robe, a black belt around his waist, a silver silk crown on his head, and had a handsome face, like a young man. He was youthful and unrestrained, yet also had a touch of nobility.

"It is a great ambition to benefit all people. How many people in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, have done this?"

He stopped beside the Nine Dragon Archway. He had always been a hurried visitor before, but today he had time to take a closer look. When he counted carefully, he found that there were only eight dragons on the archway.

Footsteps came from behind.

"Deputy Hall Master Zhang, this is strange. It's called the 'Nine Dragon Archway', but there are only eight dragons on it?"

Zhang Yu looked back, feeling a little surprised, thinking that the man's dress was... a little too exaggerated.

The man was nine feet tall, with a square face and a broad nose, a tiger back and an ape waist. He was wearing a chain mail armor with a green lion's head swallowing, a phoenix-wing crown on his head, a lion belt around his neck, and a scarlet cloak flying behind him.

It's a pity that he came with nothing in his hands. If he had come with a Fang Tian Hua Ji, he would have been exactly like the Lu Fengxian described by Mr. Ma of the Sihai Teahouse.

He walked over, pointed at the high platform in the middle of the square, and said to himself: "Every time a holy ceremony is held, the Seven Colors followers and various gangs and factions stand on both sides. The Eastern Sect Leader passes under this Nine Dragon Archway, climbs onto the Huangji Hegemony Platform, and commands the martial arts heroes of the world."

"The majesty of the Divine Religion at that time could rival the sun and the moon in brilliance, enough to make every disciple's blood boil and willing to die!"

Zhang Yu bowed and said, "Please forgive my poor eyesight. May I ask who you are?"

The man smiled and said, "Wen Mengjiu, the commander of the Chengde Palace guards."

Zhang Yu was secretly surprised. He heard that Ziyun Guard did not have a commander, and the troops were led by a deputy commander. The deputy commander Hu Fei was Yang Lianting's confidant. Since this man could become the commander, he must be more trusted than Hu Fei.

Wen Mengjiu saw through Zhang Yu's thoughts and said with a smile: "It's not the leader of the Purple Cloud Guard, it's the leader of the Golden Armor Guards of Chengde Hall."

Zhang Yu felt a little embarrassed: "So it's Commander Wen, I've heard of your great name for a long time."

Wen Mengjiu sighed and said with a smile: "In the Sun Moon Divine Sect, there are probably not many people who still remember who the leader of the Chengde Hall guards is. But it's no wonder. A leader with only a title is indeed not worth remembering."

Zhang Yu asked, "Why did Commander Wen say that?"

Wen Mengjiu sneered, "General Manager Yang doesn't trust me, so he appointed two deputy commanders to command the Chengde Hall guards. My title of commander is now just a figurehead. In the past five years, apart from reporting to Chengde Hall every three days, I have not been able to command anyone."

"I see. Even the wisest man can make mistakes. Commander Wen... judging from his appearance, he is a blessed man. Butler Yang forgot for a moment, but he will probably use Commander Wen sooner or later."

Zhang Yu smiled and said perfunctorily, "It's better not to talk too much when you are not familiar with each other. This person suddenly appeared and seemed to come to find him intentionally. He took the initiative to say some words of dissatisfaction with Yang Lianting, as if to express his attitude. However, the people on Heimu Cliff are unpredictable. Who knows whether this Wen Mengjiu is a human or a ghost."

"Master Zhang is really careful."

"In front of Chengde Hall, we should be careful with our words and actions to show respect to Dongfang Sect Leader and Yang Zongguan. Commander Wen is a senior and has served in the hall for a long time. Naturally, he understands this simple truth better than me."

"You are so... hypocritical."

Wen Mengjiu cursed in a low voice, laughed loudly towards the sky, and without saying goodbye, walked straight towards Chengde Hall.

Yang Lianting acted arbitrarily and independently, and there were many people who did not get along with him, and their entire families were wiped out, even Wu Lianjiang was assassinated.

If Wen Mengjiu really was not trusted, how could he have stayed in the empty position of commander of the Chengde Palace guards for five years?

Why is Yang Lianting afraid of him?
Or maybe it was just a duet between the two of them.

Zhang Yu looked at his departing back, heard faint laughter, and couldn't help cursing, "What a lunatic." Chengde Hall is not only a palace, but also has affiliated offices.

Five columns past the right side of the hall, there are seven rooms belonging to the Dharma Protector Hall.

A storehouse where all the decrees issued by the Sun and Moon Sect are stored.

In a guard room, a incense master named Di Ying was on duty.

There are also five rooms where eighty elite Dharma Protector disciples live. Although their number is not large, they are the third most powerful force on the Black Wood Cliff, after the Purple Cloud Guards and the Chengde Hall Guards. This shows the transcendent status of the Dharma Protector Hall.

"I meet Deputy Hall Master Zhang."

When the young man walked into the duty room, Di Ying put down his brush, slowly stood up and bowed to greet him. There were six clerks in black in the room who were processing official documents. Seeing this, they also stood up and greeted him.

They didn't know the newly appointed Deputy Hall Master Zhang yet, and were all surprised to see that he was so young.

Zhang Yu smiled warmly and said, "Brother Di, don't be polite. You and I are of similar age. If you don't mind, you can just call us brothers."

He looked around the circle of cases again and waved his hand, saying, "Please take a seat, everyone, and do your work in peace. Don't be disturbed by me."

Those black-clad clerks stood in front of the desk, looking at Di Ying, motionless.

Zhang Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and then an even brighter smile appeared on his face, like a young boy who had just entered the world and knew nothing except enthusiasm.

Di Ying was only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but he had some gray hair, and the few strands of white hair on his forehead were quite eye-catching.

He smiled softly: "Reporting to the Lord, the Dharma Guardian Hall is the most disciplined. When doing work in the Chengde Hall, you cannot call each other brothers."

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "I see. I'm new here and don't know anything. Thank you for reminding me, Master Di Xiang."

Di Ying turned around and said, "My Lord said you can sit down!"

"Yes! I obey my orders."

The group of black-clad clerks said in unison, then sat back at their desks and processed the documents in their hands. No one knew what they were busy with.

Di Ying looked at Zhang Yu and chuckled, "They have been working in Chengde Hall for a long time, so I don't know them well... Deputy Hall Master Zhang, if there is any impoliteness, it must not be out of your heart. As the Prime Minister, you should be tolerant and not bother with these villains."

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Of course, of course! Master Di Xiang is busy first, I will look around."

"Farewell, Vice Hall Master Zhang!"

Coming out of the guard room, Zhang Yu walked towards the five large houses.

At this time, half of the people were on duty to patrol the western border of Blackwood Cliff, leaving only forty people in the training room, practicing their boxing and martial arts.

"The Divine Religion is indeed not short of loyal, brave and sincere young people."

Zhang Yu stood outside the door and nodded continuously.

These guardian disciples were indeed the elite of the hall, skilled in martial arts. Judging from their long breathing, many of them had practiced internal skills, and some were even experts in the Armor-Breaking Realm.

"What a pity! Their blood is mostly used to water their own people's swords."

When the Dharma protector disciple saw a young man in a yellow robe and black belt standing outside the door, he thought it was a hall elder who came to Heimu Cliff to report on his work. He didn't like being peeped at by outsiders, so he didn't come over to pay his respects.

Zhang Yu smiled and shook his head. No one knew the deputy hall master Zhang who was appointed by the Eastern Sect Leader.

"This is a Dharma Hall that is impenetrable and impenetrable."
