The county magistrate has no time to save the world

Chapter 166 The Shortsighted Zheng Nian

Zheng Nian frowned, standing in the cave above the mountain.

This is the best refuge he has found.

Kong Xiangling, who was out of breath, was lying at the gate of the mountain, supporting Senior Sister Linxi who had just walked in. The two squatted in the stone cave, looking outside in horror.

The fire passed through the border, and the fire below was so fierce that even in the cave three feet high, the heat wave could be felt.

"This is... what's going on? How could there be such a big fire?" Kong Xiangling asked.

Zheng Nian had already received Su Wenqing's notice at dawn, so he explained, "It's Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei who attacked the cottage."

"Jinyiwei?" Senior Sister Linxi murmured, "It is said that the Great Zhou Jinyiwei is an extremely secret and powerful force that controls the entire court of the Great Zhou...how could they come out of Beijing to suppress bandits in person?"

"The Broken Silver Valley." Zheng Nian said, "The Jin Yiwei's first duty is to supervise the officials, and the second duty is to inspect the Broken Silver Valley, but everything related to the Broken Silver Valley falls within their scope of responsibility."

"The Broken Silver Valley...is the Broken Silver Valley again." Kong Xiangling said, "The people in this Broken Silver Valley are all over the world, and they seem to be everywhere. They are pretentious and say they want to overthrow the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Protecting the people, but now they are still occupying the mountains as kings, intercepting and killing good people, and what they have done is not as good as Da Zhou!"

"Xiangling!" Linxi murmured, "You and I are cultivators, what does this mundane matter have to do with you? Master taught me that I don't forget to comment on everything, how can you speak like this?"

Kong Xiangling immediately lowered her head, glanced at Zheng Nian, and stopped talking.

Looking at the fire below, Zheng Nian saw that Jin Yiwei had already arrived in the forest in just one day, so An Wenyue probably ordered him to do so, and he was very worried at this moment.

It would be fine if there was only Jinyiwei's strength, but in the current situation, Jiang Ye might not be the only one leading the Jinyiwei. If An Wenyue secretly arranged for someone to follow and protect Jiang Ye's life, wouldn't it be difficult? breach?
No...

Thinking of this, Zheng Nian felt even more urgent.

"You two are waiting here." Zheng Nian said.

"What is the young hero going to do?" Kong Xiangling asked.

"I'll go down and have a look." Zheng Nian said, "Don't go out, it's dangerous outside."

After saying this, without waiting for the two of them to say anything, they jumped off the cliff.

Landing on a high ground, he climbed the cliff and walked a few steps. A breeze passed behind him. Without even turning his head, Zheng Nian murmured, "Where are they?"

"Go west for six miles." Su Wenqing said, "It's not far from the cottage, but there are ambushes there, so they probably won't be able to come here for a while."

"Let's go and have a look." Zheng Nian said.

Su Wenqing grabbed Zheng Nian and swept away.

When the two stopped, it was already dark.

A large number of trees have been burned, only some towering old trees, although the branches and leaves have been burned out, and they are dry and black, they still stand tall.

The two reached a rock and looked down quietly.

"This is a dangerous pass. It is impossible for Jin Yiwei to break through, but..." Su Wenqing said, "They don't seem to plan to break through."

"What are they going to do?" Zheng Nian asked.

"Look." Su Wenqing pointed down.

Zheng Nian saw two white clothes.

There is a mountain pass in the east and west, and there are bandits guarding the dark place above, and there are many agencies, and there are many archers, but no one has noticed these two men in white.

Taking a closer look, it was none other than Jiang Ye and Liu Yushan.

One person, one sword, one side.

Jiang Ye's long sword was like a shooting star under the night sky, flashing past like a thunderbolt shooting star.

In an instant, three people were killed.

The two of them actually started killing on this mountain pass!
"His strength is about the same as your master." Su Wenqing said, "It's the one with two little tiger teeth."

Zheng Nian pouted, "I know, I'm just such a master."

Su Wenqing said, "Can you beat your master?"

"I can't beat it." Zheng Nian shook his head.

"Then how do you kill him?" Su Wenqing sighed.

"What are you worried about?" Zheng Nianhan smiled, "I need you to help me see if there is anyone around him."

"What do you mean?" Su Wenqing asked.

"I'm worried. An Wenyue is worried that he will come out alone and bring someone with him. If he appears at a critical moment, you and I may die here." Zheng Nian said.

Su Wenqing said indifferently, "If it's a monster, I can find it even if it's a third grade, but if it's a human... Martial arts people have qi inside their bodies, so it's not easy to leak out, so they can't be seen normally. And people who practice Taoism Although it comes with three points of energy, it can't be seen through the practice of concealing energy."

Zheng Nian frowned, "Jiang Ye is very cautious. Do you remember the night you and I met? If he was an ordinary person, he would definitely follow me to Mingchun Garden to kill me and take Chen Xuan'er away. Besides, he I also told Gong Yu that I would come."

"But he still didn't come in the end." Su Wenqing said.

"He has a lot of fear, so even if it is the meat on the chopping board, he didn't come out to take a share... But this time, he made a big splash, even if he was at the foot of the mountain, he dared to set fire to the whole forest and tell the people inside he came."

Zheng Nian said vigilantly, "There must be someone behind him. And it's a very strong person."

"Then your plan is in vain?" Su Wenqing said.

"Not necessarily, everything has to be tried." Zheng Nian said.

While the two were talking, a strand of gray clothes fell behind Zheng Nian.

Zheng Nian turned around, it was the Supervisor of Tiangang Mansion.

The old man shook off the floating dust in his hands, gave Zheng Nian an angry look, threw a piece of sweet potato over, and said calmly, "I can save your life, but if you really choose to die, I can only try it." There's no way to save your life."

"Old guy, what do you mean?" Zheng Nian put the sweet potato into his arms, it is an excellent thing for restoring energy, better than a panacea.

"Since you guessed that there is someone behind Jiang Ye, why bother to try?" Jianqing paced slowly and said softly, "I don't know what you want to do, but I still want to persuade you, since the Wu family has given you benefits, Why are you so obsessed with obsession, entered the Jinyu Tower generously, enjoyed endless glory and wealth, and endless family wealth, plus your relationship with Wu Niang, is it possible that you are still afraid of the Wu family?"

Zheng Nian smiled and said, "Are you here to be a lobbyist?"

"Hey." Jianqing shook his head, "I have nothing to hide from you. The Gu training holy boy will be born within a year. How many people will be able to protect you by then? Although the Temple of Good and Evil is calm now There is no wind, but the undercurrent is already surging in the dark, do you really think you can protect them?"

"Begging for help is like a three-foot sword, relying on others is like going up to the nine heavens." Zheng Nian laughed, pointing to the people below and said, "The people below, who can I rely on to kill him? Everyone has pros and cons in their hearts, but You have long forgotten good and evil, and you have to consider power and trade-offs when you take three steps out of this world."

Both Jianqing and Su Wenqing were startled.

"I'm short-sighted." Zheng Nian raised his head and looked at the moonlight, "I don't care for having a few catties in your pocket to win thousands of miles. I don't help the common people, I only love Fengyue. I dumped tens of millions of taels of gold while talking and laughing. Powerful."

"What can't be done without luck? What's the destiny? How high is your world? What about the Golden Rain Tower and the Broken Silver Valley? Dazhou has long since become a gray broken rain shed under the sun and the moon. .It’s better for me to wave one hand and decide my own fate.”

"Look at me, apart from me, Zheng Nian, can you find one or two free and easy people in this world?"

Jianqing sneered, "You are so stubborn, under the Great Zhou, who dares to be king?"

"I'm not king, I'm just a county magistrate."

Zheng Nian hurried and disappeared into the darkness.
