Chapter 178 Peerless Think Tank (First update! Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!)

Wan Cishi explained and reported to Zhao Xun the situation of monsters raging in Ningzhou in the past six months, but he burst into tears and was filled with grief.

Zhao Xun could tell that he was genuinely sad, not fake.

For a while, Zhao Xun's mood also became a little heavy.

As the saying goes, know yourself, know your enemy and win a hundred battles.

This is true whether it is for humans or monsters.

Although Zhao Xun was mentally prepared, but when he really heard Wan Cishi's narration, he still felt as if a knife was cutting his flesh.

Why did the monsters suddenly rampage, and what does this have to do with the Demon Sect?
What is the relationship between the demon cultivator in Huangzhou's strong absorption of the vitality of heaven and earth to upgrade his level and the rampage of monsters along the southeast coast?

Zhao Xun felt that there were countless questions waiting for him to answer.

After appeasing Wan Cishi, Zhao Xun told him to step down first.

After returning to the room, Zhao Xun called several brothers from the academy to discuss countermeasures.

It's not that he doesn't trust Wangcai and Jia Xingwen, it's that they are powerless in the face of monsters.

Jia Xingwen is only an eighth-rank martial artist, let alone Wang Cai, and he is not even a practitioner.

The two really have no good way to deal with monsters.

But the seniors in the academy are completely different.

They worship under the head of the mountain and are disciples of the academy.

The three senior brothers all have their own areas of specialization and skills. This time Zhao Xun went to the southeast to eliminate monsters, relying on the three senior brothers the most.

Of course, there is also my mentor Wu Quanyi.

But Daoist Qinglian said that he was very tired from the journey, so he wanted to take a rest first.

Naturally, Zhao Xun would not say much about this.

After all, the mentor is an elder, and when the old man has almost rested, he will naturally come to Zhao Xun.

At times like this, you can't be urged, absolutely can't be urged...

"Third senior brother, you are highly respected, tell me what should we do now?"

Among the four people present, the third senior brother Long Qingquan was the oldest and most experienced.

It is naturally most appropriate for him to divert this topic.

"Well, I have also listened to the story of the governor of Wanwan. In my opinion, the monsters are probably animals hidden in the depths of the sea. The Nanman is too far away from here. It is impossible for the Nanman monsters to come here over many mountains. .”

The third senior brother paused, and then continued: "So if we want to find these monsters, we have to search the mountains and seas."

"Search mountains and seas?"

Hearing these four words, Zhao Xun's instinctive expression froze.

The main reason is that these four words are too famous.

As a liberal arts student with a major background, Zhao Xun knows history very well.

After the shame of Jingkang at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the two emperors Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were taken captive by Jin people to Wuguocheng.

It's a pity that not long after Zhao Gou ascended the throne, he encountered Jin Wushu's search of mountains and seas, and Zhao Gou ran away in fright.

Now that the third senior brother mentioned searching mountains and seas, did he mention it on purpose or by accident?

Zhao Xun is not sure.

He even had some doubts whether the third senior brother would be a time traveler.

No way, no way, third senior brother can't really be a time traveler.

Zhao Xun wanted to try to use the mind-observing technique on the third senior brother to see what happened.

But this idea was rejected by Zhao Xun as soon as it was born.

Are you kidding me, the third senior brother is also a second-rank powerhouse anyway.

Second-rank practitioners being watched by the mind-observing technique?
Unless it is a super strong Daoist like Yuan Tiangang, it is absolutely impossible.

Zhao Xun thought it was better to forget it, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing to be noticed by the third senior brother.

"What, is there a problem?"

As if aware of Zhao Xun's hesitation, Long Qingquan asked.

"No no…"

Zhao Xun waved his hands again and again and said, "I just think that we can complete the search of mountains and seas with our current manpower?"

The third brother laughed loudly when he heard this, and said, "Little brother, I thought you were worried about something, it turned out to be this."

He smiled indifferently and said, "What's so difficult about this? You are an imperial envoy. The imperial envoy represents the emperor and the imperial court. In other words, you are the most powerful person on the southeast coast. If you don't have enough manpower, then go and transfer it. It is not difficult for so many states and counties to raise enough manpower to search mountains and seas, right?"

The words of the third senior brother directly awakened Zhao Xun.

That's right, he has great power now, and he should really use the power in his hands reasonably.

"Okay, I will issue an order to mobilize the army."

The army of the Great Zhou Dynasty was divided into recruits and government soldiers. The recruits were mainly concentrated at the border and controlled by Jiedushi.

In other words, Zhao Xun could not mobilize recruits, at most he could mobilize government soldiers.

Compared with recruiting soldiers, the combat effectiveness of government soldiers is much worse, but they are more numerous and obedient.

It is reasonable for Zhao Xun to mobilize the army when the imperial envoy needs it.

The censor could not say anything.

As for whether Emperor Xianlong would murmur in his heart, Zhao Xun would not think about it.

Even if Emperor Xianlong was upset, he couldn't show it.

The emperor also has to lose face, and it is impossible to do whatever he wants unscrupulously.

"Well, Junior Brother, I think we can do both."

Sixth Senior Brother answered, "The most urgent thing right now is to check the geomantic omen of Ningzhou to find out what is the root cause of the monsters' haunting."

As a master of Fengshui, Sixth Senior Brother attaches great importance to Fengshui.

Zhao Xun thought about it carefully and felt that there is nothing wrong with doing so, so he nodded and said, "Just follow what Brother Six said."

Senior Brother Ten, who had been silent all this time, scratched his head and said, "Uh... Then what do I need to do? Make some paper figurines to help?"

Senior Brother Ten is such a fool!

Zhao Xun thought.

"Then it's unnecessary. Good steel should be used on the edge of the knife. Senior Brother Ten, you should take a break first. Xiao 72 will naturally let you know when you need to make a move."

Senior Brother Ten nodded: "That's the best."

At this moment, Zhao Xun suddenly felt a breeze blowing on his face.

Looking up, who is it if it's not my teacher Wu Quanyi?
"Master, are you awake?"

"Well, I took a nap for a while, and I woke up naturally when I had enough sleep."

"What are you discussing, so enthusiastic."

Wu Quanyi strode into the room, raised his Taoist robe and sat down, then took a sip from his teacup.

"Well, my mentor is like this..."

Zhao Xun recounted to Wu Quanyi what he had just discussed with his senior brothers.

"Search mountains and seas, I can help you as a teacher."

Wu Quanyi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The Daoist sect is best at flying with swords. At this time, the advantages of flying swords are reflected."

After a short pause, Wu Quanyi continued: "Oh, by the way, don't you have a white flood dragon, my dear boy, it will come in handy at a time like this."

"To put it bluntly, Bai Jiaolong was also a close relative of a monster, but he was taken in by the head of the mountain and raised in the academy and gradually became a spirit beast. You have been taught the Canglang sword technique by the head of the mountain, and Bai Jiaolong is willing to follow you and become you mount. All of this is really fate."

Wu Quanyi talked eloquently: "If you can perform well this time, Bai Jiaolong will convince you even more."
