I am the main soul in the soul banner

Chapter 402
The one who appeared in front of him was the official, so how could there be a saying that he was not on the way, and the other party came from the famous Jiangmo Yamen.

Li Datong felt that it would be better to take the other party to the county town by himself, so that he could take care of him for a while, lest the monks from the Subduing Demon Yamen rampage on their territory and ruin things.

Silent all night.

After several days of travel, they finally saw the big city in Juling County.

Although it is in late spring, there is no coolness but warm wind.

The vast plain and the big city that stands like a mountain on the plain look quite majestic, and it looks even more vast under such cloudless weather.

It's like the boundary line between heaven and earth, slowly expanding in their eyes.

Before Li Datong could do anything, the official from Jiangmo Yamen had disappeared.He didn't even say hello, which made Lu Huai think about it, saying that the other party was domineering and impolite.

Li Datong just smiled and didn't say much, the people in the city would stare at him.

It is a different scene near the county town. The guards on the tower are neatly dressed and lined up, patrolling in an orderly manner.The soldiers in front of the city tower stood aside and followed the scribes to inspect the goods of the passing merchants and the tightly wrapped bundles.

"What, confiscated weapons?"

The scribe holding the pen said blankly: "The weapons are not confiscated, but need to be stored in the Yamen, and they will be picked up when they leave the city."

"I have traveled all over the world and have never been to any big city. Why do you have such rules in Juling County?"

The sword-wielding Jianghu exclaimed in surprise, but when he saw the soldiers beside him in full armor and burly figures, his voice subconsciously lowered: "Do you understand swordsmen? The sword is there, the sword... ..."

"Let's hand in the knife."

Looking up at the tall shadow and meeting the cold eyes, Jianghu Ke honestly handed over his weapon, and without saying anything nonsense about the knife being in the presence of others, he took his weapon token and hurried into the city. .

Others have long been familiar with the strangeness, Juling County is such a rule, no matter if it is a big city or a county seat.If you are unwilling to hand in your weapons, you will not be allowed to enter the city.

The clerks didn't bother to roll their eyes anymore, they had long been accustomed to the messing around of these quacks, and they were always worried that the yamen would swallow their things, or lure them into the city and kill them on the spot. .

It's not that the weapons will not be returned to them, it's just that they can't get them until they leave.

The latter conjecture is even more nonsense. The purpose of confiscating weapons in the city is for stability, lest they cause trouble in the city and disturb the people of Dacheng.

Dressed in a black outfit, Liang An walked up to the clerk with his weapon in his arms, stored the long sword in his hand on the weapon rack beside him, received a token to enter the city, registered his name, and entered the city.

……

In the city of Juling County, the Taoist temple located on the hill looks quite huge. There is no difference between the Taoist temple and Jicheng. The main hall enshrines a six-foot tall god statue, but at this time the god statue has its eyes closed.

The red-robed Taoist who came out of the retreat first offered incense to the statue, then turned and walked to the back hall, and went to the courtyard located in the back hall of the Taoist temple. There were not many people gathered here, but they were all acquaintances.

Captain Chu of Jiangmo Yamen, Ming Yang whose cultivation base has been sealed, and Huang Ci who is lying on a bench with dementia and needs someone to take care of him.

Seeing Chi Xuan appearing, Ming Yang tactfully avoids it.

Chu Ge put down the chess pieces in his hand and said calmly: "Have the monks from the yamen entered the city?"

The entire Juling County City has been reduced to Chixuan's dojo, no matter how well the other party disguises, any real cultivator will be discovered, and Chixuan came to see them prisoners, probably to obtain some information.

Chu Ge could see the changes in the past few years. Juling County became better and better under Chixuan's governance, and there were more and more believers.

Don't look at the cloudless, in fact, if you use your special eyes, you will find something strange on the top of your head.

Chi Xuan didn't talk to Chu Ge about the subduing demon yamen, but sat beside the stone table, picked up a white piece and dropped it on the chessboard: "What do Captain Chu think of the current county?"

"The Taoist priest doesn't need to say much."

Chu Ge didn't know what he should complain about, or whether he should condemn Chi Xuan. In fact, there was no difference. The only thing he could hold on now was his spirit.

If even he doubts himself, maybe he will really surrender.

But can it?

If he is the only one who can say it, maybe he will really fight, but his family is all in the capital, once he surrenders, the whole family will follow him to death.

It's better to kill yourself here, and the court can still issue some subsidies.

"Captain Jiangmo from Yunzhou is dead, his name is..." Chi Xuan muttered, recalling the other person's name, he had never seen that person before, but he had only heard about it from a businessman who collected information.

"Mu Chenyong." Chu Ge immediately called out the other party's name.

"Yes, it's him."

"He died and was killed by the uprising leader of Tianli Sect. He fought to the last moment and shed the last drop of blood for the court. However, Pindao heard that his family did not receive compensation, and instead fled dead."

Chi Xuan calmly told what he knew, and he had already told Chu Ge a lot of stories like this.

In fact, Chu Ge should thank him. Chi Xuan was not only because he didn't want to be discovered by the court, but also because he had a good impression of the monks in the Subduing Demon Yamen, so he made them sober.

Chi Xuan has no liking for Tianli Sect and even hates it.

I don't know where the other party got the method, and he rose a little faster than him, but the other party is a pure cult, using the lives of the people to accumulate incense and vows.

He suspected that it was funded by big officials in the court, otherwise it would not be so powerful.But the other party is a rootless duckweed with a very shallow foundation, and if the notoriety spreads, the incense and vows he will receive in the future will be even less.

"How much territory have you mastered?" Chu Ge put down the chess piece in his hand, picked it up again and placed it on the chessboard.

"Of the six counties in Xuzhou, three counties have fallen into my hands. The eagle wolf bodyguard bureaus are all over the seventeen states, and there are hundreds of large and small commercial firms. The business can reach the war-torn places in the north."

"Recently, the business has become more and more difficult to do. It was easy to buy before, but now the military supplies have doubled by three or four times. It is not as cost-effective as casting them yourself. Fortunately, the development has been good in these years."

"With Xuzhou as the base, the rest of the big states have resettlement sites, which have gathered millions of refugees."

"If it weren't for the consideration of the influence of the Xuzhou imperial court's incense, the remaining three counties would have been swallowed up by the poor. The banner officials of Jiangmo Yamen have surrendered, and the spirit stones issued by the poor are twice as much as the imperial court. Someone is willing to help."

"Pindao has bribed Shangfang Zhou Mu again, and the imperial court has revoked the arrest of Pindao." Chixuan is like a treasure, counting his family fortune with his fingers. It turns out that he has controlled the territory close to the three counties in a flash.

The entire Great Cang Dynasty only had 21 states.

Chu Ge listened to Chi Xuan's description in shock, closed his eyes at last, and sighed, "I was the one who survived just that day. If I died, maybe the court would..."

"There are no ifs in everything, and besides, the captain can't die." Chi Xuan got up, dropped the white piece in his hand on the chessboard and said: "Dinghai Tulong, captain, you are dead."

Chi Xuandao: "I hope the captain will think about it carefully, and the poor can't wait too long."

His cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation establishment, and the sun in the sky is getting weaker and weaker.Tu Shanjun speculates that there will be signs of decline in another 30 to [-] years, and no one knows what will happen at that time.

If Dongtian really collapses, it's okay, the people can be moved to the outside world, but he needs strength and more time, without both, how can such a big thing be done.

He doesn't have so much time to persuade Chu Ge to surrender, and it is estimated that this will be the last persuasion.

Chu Ge clenched his fists, sighed, opened his hand, took a white piece and dropped it on the chessboard, saying, "I hope my family is safe."

"Cheer, don't worry. Pindao not only bought the state shepherd, but also has connections in the capital. He can quietly take the lieutenant's family out."

Chi Xuan said with a smile that he had already made all the preparations, and he was familiar with these things. After all, Gu Ming's family was stolen by him in this way, and he would be more familiar with stealing another family.

"Chu Ge, meet the lord."

Chixuan excitedly helped Chu Ge, who was bowing in salute, and said loudly, "Well, it's a poor fortune to have Mr. Chu's help. This decadent dynasty doesn't deserve the allegiance of someone like Mr. Chu."

"Let us create a prosperous world together."

"Realize peace in the world!"

……

Liang An walked into the Jiangmo Yamen in the county with a token, and was greeted by a strange flag officer, not the Gu Ming he had imagined, and asked, "Where is Captain Gu?"

Chang Xun said: "Lieutenant Gu is not in the yamen to catch the cultists."

Case Liang always felt that the atmosphere was not right, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong: "Then the official will wait for him here. When he comes back, I will find the official."

After talking about the Liang case, he walked out of the yamen, feeling even more uneasy. He planned to go to the sheriff's yamen first, and wait until Gu Ming came back to investigate the case of the Shangling.

"The sheriff is a capable man."

Liang An nodded secretly. He came from the southern land where wars frequently raged, and there was already a mess of porridge. There were all kinds of monsters and ghosts. There were dozens of cults alone, and several wild gods died under his sword.

So I am very satisfied with a quiet and peaceful place like Juling County.

The common people live and work in peace and contentment, quite a peaceful appearance.

The quacks on the street were also confiscated.

As the saying goes, with a white sword in hand, the intention to kill is self-inflicted, and without weapons in hand, the number of violations of the law has been reduced by [-] to [-]%, and the rest are just fists and kicks, and they will be arrested quickly.

Before he could continue admiring, a voice stopped him.

"Brother Liang."

Liang An turned his head and looked over, his eyes were full of surprise, because he received orders, one of which was to find this person.

"Brother Chu?"

"It's down."

Chu Ge cupped his hands and looked at Liang An with a smile on his face.

Liang An stared at Chu Ge vigilantly, because Chu Ge was a person who had been missing for three years.

Ordinary people may be happy when a person who has disappeared for three years and has not heard from him suddenly appears by his side, but as a monk, the first reaction is to be alert.
