Immortal Master Invincible

Chapter 1412 Reentry Spiritual Practice (Seventeen)
Pang Xiaonan took Li Yisi to Xiaolei City. On the way, Li Yisi asked, "Should we enter the city without the Vajra Mecha, or wear it?"

"Of course they went into the city wearing clothes. That's the regular army. If they really want to kill, we can still save our lives with the Vajra Mecha."

Arriving at the bottom of the city tower, Pang Xiaonan unexpectedly found that the city gate was wide open and people were coming and going. There was no scene of the city being captured, but there were many soldiers guarding the city gate.

The strange attires of Pang Xiaonan and Li Yisi quickly attracted the attention of the defenders, and they all cast vigilant eyes on them.

Pang Xiaonan went straight forward and came to a man who looked like a military officer.

"Who are you?" The officer drew his sword.

"Please report to Lei Xibao immediately, the imperial envoy is here again, and come to see him as soon as possible!" Pang Xiaonan handed over the seal.

The officer hastily withdrew his sword, took Pang Xiaonan's seal, and looked at it dubiously.

The lower-ranking officers generally don't know the king's seal and the court's certificate, but they dare not believe it, especially the strange armor of Pang Xiaonan and Li Yisi, so they have to pay attention to it.

"My lords, please wait a moment, I will report right away."

Not long after, a line of soldiers ran to the city gate, followed by a tall horse, and immediately a burly man.

Seeing Pang Xiaonan, the man got off his horse, rushed forward, and knelt down in front of Pang Xiaonan: "My lord, the humble Lei Xibao, I'm here to greet you."

As a general of the border guards, he naturally knew the seal of the imperial envoy. As soon as Lei Xibao saw this seal, he immediately rushed out of the city lord's mansion.

Pang Xiaonan was very satisfied with Lei Xibao's attitude, but he refused Lei Xibao's idea of ​​inviting him to the city, and he was afraid that he would never return.

"Lei Jiajun, let's discuss matters here." Pang Xiaonan pointed to an empty tunnel next to the city gate.

"This..." Lei Xibao hesitated. It is a felony to neglect the imperial envoy, "My lord, this is not good. I have already ordered my subordinates to prepare tea in the city lord's mansion. Please move on..."

"There's no need to talk about Lei Xibao, I've made up my mind, let's discuss it here."

Pang Xiaonan walked into the open space without any excuse.

"Yes, my lord, I will arrange my subordinates to prepare."

Lei Xibao turned around and explained a few things to the attendants around him, and then came to Pang Xiaonan's side.

"Don't be so troublesome, General Lei. I think you know my purpose when I come this time. I already understand your grievances. The Lei family's army has defended their home and country for many years, but they have been deprived of military supplies. You, General Lei, have no choice but to come here." Xiaolei City has been occupied, so the imperial court has decided not to hold the Lei family army accountable, but you must withdraw from Xiaolei City immediately."

Lei Xibao raised his eyebrows, and immediately cupped his hands: "Your Excellency, the court knows, this humble position is really helpless, the tens of thousands of Lei's army are starving, and the magistrate Long Genshi actually withheld military rations, which is tolerable or unbearable! "

Lei Xibao paused, "It's just... my lord, you asked me to withdraw from Little Lei City, but how can we appease the large population of our Lei Family Army?"

Lei Xibao threw the ball to Pang Xiaonan, yes, the Lei family army traveled long distances, just for one bite to eat, and now the court has not provided anything, just a flimsy statement that they will not be held accountable, then the Lei family army is useless Did you return with success?

"Lei Xibao!" Pang Xiaonan yelled, "You are so brave, are you negotiating terms with me?"

"Don't dare to be humble!" Lei Xibao hurriedly knelt on one knee and clasped his fists, "My lord, I really have no choice. If the imperial court doesn't have substantial assistance, I won't be able to command the Lei family's army..."

At this time, the soldiers of the Lei Family Army had brought stools and tables, as well as some snacks and refreshments.

"Get up, General Lei." Pang Xiaonan helped Lei Xibao up.

"Since I'm here, I'm here to solve the problem. I will never let Lei Jiajun go back hungry."

"Thank you, my lord, please sit down!" Lei Xibao respectfully waited for Pang Xiaonan and Li Yisi to be seated before sitting down.

"Lei Xibao, you lead the army to Xiaolei City, what about the southern border defense?"

"My lord, I just led a small part of the army to Xiaolei City. We just came to beg for food. We didn't intend to occupy the city at all. It's just that the Longgen-style magistrate reacted too much, and we had to control him first."

"You mean, the large army is still near the Falling Soul Abyss?"

"Yes."

"You can't blame Long Zhifu either. You brought someone to kill you aggressively. He naturally thought you were going to rebel."

"My lord, my Lei family has served the country for generations, when did I have the heart of rebellion, please learn from this point."

"Well, but I also understand what Long Zhifu has done, and he has nothing to do."

"My lord, he has no choice but to withhold our food, oh, the people in Xiaolei Mansion are human beings, aren't the tens of thousands of our Lei Family Army human beings?"

"That being said, sometimes, people are forced to do nothing... Okay, let's not talk about the past, let's talk about it, what conditions do you need for the Lei family army to retreat?"

"My lord, where do you start with your words? My Lei family army has never raised an army, so how can we retreat?"

As a military general, Lei Xibao is also very mature politically. If the court confirms the fact that he rebelled, his leadership in this field will definitely be relocated.

"Okay, stop playing word games with me, and talk about your Lei Jiajun's request."

Pang Xiaonan was very surprised that the five big and three rough leaders of the Lei family army had such profound wisdom. It seems that being a general in the Sente country is not an easy task.

"My lord, our request is very simple. As long as Long Genshi returns to us the military supplies that have been withheld from us, our Lei family army will immediately withdraw from Little Lei City and return to our garrison area."

"Aren't you just messing around? You also know that Long Genshi has already distributed those supplies to the victims. Where do you want him to get them for you?"

"My lord, I don't care what he does to me. Anyway, I want to see the real thing, otherwise I'll just go back like this. How can I give a job to the thousands of women, children, and old men of the Lei family army?"

"Okay, I see. I'm here this time to discuss this matter with you."

"My lord, my humble office is all ears."

"Look, it's impossible for you to ask Long Zhifu to mobilize supplies for you in a short time. After all, he is only the first prefect, so I can only do it for you."

"If the adults take action, it's a trivial matter. I am grateful, and the fathers and folks who replaced Lei Jiajun thank you first!"

After speaking, Lei Xibao was about to bow down.

"Don't thank me in a hurry," Pang Xiaonan supported Lei Xibao, "I still have something to say."

Pang Xiaonan decided to tell the truth to Lei Xibao. Judging from such a long time of contact, Lei Xibao is a man. Although he is politically tactful, he is still a good general for the country and the people.

"As for me, I didn't come here specifically for your matter. I came to Yashan Mansion because of another matter and learned about you, so I rushed over here. The court still doesn't know about your matter. Therefore, I came here to find a solution because Lei Jiajun has served the country for many years."

"My lord," Lei Xibao bowed down again, "My lord's great kindness and virtue, I will never forget my humiliation!"

Lei Xibao is a smart person, and what Pang Xiaonan said was to remind him that as long as this matter can be resolved satisfactorily, Pang Xiaonan will suppress the news and not spread it to the court. What will be involved.

"But you see, my original job was not to solve this trouble for you, so now I just think of a way for you to choose."

"Sir, please speak."

"You take the Lei family army back to the garrison first, and then I will report to the imperial court, and let the imperial court allocate military supplies and deliver them directly to your Lei family army garrison."

"This..." Lei Xibao thought for a long time, "My lord, I know that my lord has worked hard, but this method may not be appropriate."

"Oh? What's wrong?"

"First of all, you asked me to withdraw first, but if the Lei family's army returns without success, I'm afraid there will be a mutiny in the middle, and even if it's me, I'm afraid I won't be able to control it," Lei Xibao paused and observed. Look at Pang Xiaonan's color, but Pang Xiaonan is in the Vajra Mecha, so he can't observe it.

"Second, my lord, you go back and report to the court. What if the court is still the same as before and asks Long Genshi to find a solution by himself?"

"Well, what you said is indeed the truth, then tell me, is there any other way?"

"My lord, I dare to make a suggestion in a humble position. Please mobilize the grain depots in the surrounding states to solve the urgent needs of my Lei family army."

Lei Xibao lowered his head, not daring to look into Pang Xiaonan's eyes.

"In fact, I have considered your suggestion before, but I didn't come here for this matter. Even if I mobilize the surrounding state capitals, can I mobilize them?"

Pang Xiaonan discussed this matter with Wen Quanwei when he was in Yashan Mansion, but Wen Quanwei faltered in his answer and did not say why.

"My lord, you are the imperial envoy. The imperial court stipulates that the arrival of the imperial envoy is like a king's presence. The order of the imperial envoy is like an imperial decree. No matter what your purpose is to transfer the state capital, the governor of the state capital must obey!"

"Is there such a thing?"

Pang Xiaonan looked into Lei Xibao's eyes suspiciously, but Wen Quanwei never said that.

"My lord, how dare a humble official lie to you, don't you know the duties of the imperial envoy?"

"Bullshit, how come I don't know the duties of the imperial envoy, I just want to test you, now you tell me, what is the duty of the imperial envoy?"

"The imperial envoy is the king's special envoy. Wherever he goes, whether it is the army or the government, he must obey the command unconditionally. Otherwise, he is fighting against the court and the majesty of the king."

"Well, very good, I see... Oh no, you are skilled in government affairs."

Now Pang Xiaonan knew that Wen Quanwei was vague because he was afraid that he would be accused of instigating imperial envoys in the future, but Lei Xibao was not afraid. Let go.

"My lord, even if you didn't come here for our Lei family army, but you exercise the king's right to rescue the Lei family army, the imperial court will not do anything to your lord, and maybe you will appreciate your adaptability."

In order to strengthen Pang Xiaonan's belief, Lei Xibao tried his best to put a hat on him.

"Okay, I got it, you just prepare paper and pens, I will write the order, and you will send someone to deliver it to the surrounding state capitals."

"Yes, my lord, the humble job will be done immediately!" Lei Xibao was so excited that he was about to turn around and leave, but Pang Xiaonan stopped him.

"Call your documents or the documents from Xiaolei's Mansion."

Pang Xiaonan felt that it would be better for a professional to handle this matter, mainly because he didn't know which state capitals were around, how to write the format of those transfer orders, and his calligraphy was not good, anyway, he only needed to Just be responsible for stamping.

Soon, Lei Xibao brought people here, and under the supervision of Pang Xiaonan, he sent documents to several surrounding state capitals to call the material warehouse.

"Can you retreat this time?" Pang Xiaonan took off his mask and looked at Lei Xibao with a half-smile.

Lei Xibao frowned, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I have never raised an army, how can I retreat? I am willing to lead people out of Xiaolei City immediately."

"Okay, you keep playing these word games with me, you old man, are you tired?"

Pang Xiaonan waved his hand and took a sip of tea.

"My lord, it's not that I'm playing word games with you, it's because your hat is a bit too big!"

"By the way, you bring Long Genshi to see me."

"Yes, my lord, I will do it for the humble position."

Soon, Long Genshi was brought to Pang Xiaonan.

Pang Xiaonan took a closer look and found that although the Longgen style had a white face and no beard, it had a righteous face, and so far there was no trace of timidity.

"My lord, the humble Long Genshi failed to defend Xiaolei City. It was dereliction of duty. Please punish him severely!" Long Genshi bowed to Pang Xiaonan when he saw him.

Obviously, Lei Xibao had shown Pang Xiaonan's seal to Long Genshi.

"Long Zhifu, please get up!" Pang Xiaonan hurried over to help Long Genshi up.

Pang Xiaonan invited Long Genshi to the seat where Lei Xibao was sitting just now.

"Prefect Long, what you just said is wrong."

"My lord, I didn't say anything in a humble position. I don't know what's wrong?"

"You just said that you didn't defend Xiaolei City, that's wrong!" Pang Xiaonan waved his hand, "The Lei family army just came here for a friendly visit, and didn't attack the city, right? It's not as serious as the dereliction of duty you said, you are just a little misunderstanding .”

"My lord," Long Gen looked at Pang Xiaonan suspiciously, "Lei Xibao led his troops directly to Xiaolei City without any military orders. Isn't this a siege or a rebellion?"

Long Genshi seems to be an upright and tough guy.

"You..." Lei Xibao, who was standing aside, couldn't help but draw his sword to face each other, but Pang Xiaonan raised his hand to stop it.

"Master Long, originally this matter was caused by you, so I can completely ignore it, but now that I'm here, I want to have a good talk with you."

"Sir, please speak."

"The cause of the incident was that you embezzled the military supplies of the Lei Family Army, so is it reasonable for the Lei Family Army to come to ask you to ask for it?"

Pang Xiaonan shot Long Genshi with sharp eyes.

"This..." Long Genshi didn't know how to answer, but he still argued, "Even if you are asking for supplies, you shouldn't bring so many people, right?"

"If you don't bring so many people, if you can get it out, how can they transport it back?"

"That's right!" Lei Xibao and his adjutant beside him couldn't help echoing.

Long Genshi suddenly fell silent, what Pang Xiaonan said was completely reasonable.

"So Prefect Long, I've already taken care of this matter for you. I've already borrowed the materials you owe the Lei Family Army from the surrounding states. The Lei Family Army will withdraw from Little Lei City immediately."

"This..." Long Genshi looked at Pang Xiaonan and didn't know what to say, "My lord, I am so grateful for the humble job, it's just the rebellion of the Lei family army..."

"Dragon root style!" Pang Xiaonan suddenly increased the volume, "Now it's not the Lei family's army rebelling, but you deliberately withholding military rations. Are you trying to provoke the relationship between the Lei family's army and the court?"

"My lord is a lesson!" Long Genshi knelt down in fright, "I'm just thinking about the people of Xiaolei Mansion. Since the spring drought, the harvest of Xiaolei Mansion this year is not as good as [-]% of last year's. In addition to the pests everywhere, There is a famine everywhere in Xiaolei Mansion this year, but the surrounding prefectures have not extended a helping hand, the officials have no choice but to withhold military rations to help the victims, it is definitely not to sow discord!"

"Nonsense! Withholding military rations is deducting military rations. No matter what your purpose is, as a local parent official, don't you know what the biggest threat to our Sente country is?"

"The humble official knows that it is the coveting of the surrounding countries on my emperor's land."

"So, the imperial court has never owed the border guards all the years, just to ensure that the border guards can do their best to defend their homes and the country. On the contrary, when you come here, you don't care about the life and death of the border guards. Are you trying to put the country in danger? I Let me ask you, if the Lei family army collapses and the army of monsters rushes out of the Falling Soul Abyss, is there any hope for your Little Lei Mansion to survive?"

"My lord, it's my lack of consideration, please punish me, my lord!"

Pang Xiaonan sighed, waved his hands and said, "Okay, I think your original intentions are not bad, so you won't pursue it. But, in the future, you can no longer deduct military supplies, promise me."

"Yes, my lord, I must do so in humble office."

"Also this time, neither of you can report to the imperial court. If the imperial court asks, you can say that there is a little misunderstanding. I will explain other things."

"Obey!" Lei Xibao and Long Genshi bowed their heads at the same time.

Lei Xibao and Long Genshi shook hands to make peace, but Long Genshi was worried about Pang Xiaonan: "My lord, this crisis is resolved by your own efforts, but after you return to the court, how should you explain to the king and the prime minister?" Woolen cloth?"

"There's nothing to explain. Is it wrong for me to relieve the disaster on behalf of the court?" Pang Xiaonan looked at the sky disapprovingly.

"Having said that, but..." Long Genshi thought more complicated.

"Okay, don't worry about me. You should think about the reason why you are suffering from famine. I don't think you are stupid. The surrounding state capitals have a bumper harvest. If you are the only one affected by the disaster, don't you think about it?" Is that why?"

Pang Xiaonan thought to himself that in Hallelujah Star, he didn't know what famine was for a long time. Although the technology in the spiritual world is a little behind, it shouldn't happen that such a natural disaster would cause tens of thousands of people to not have enough to eat.

"My lord, this is really not my specialty. I have a background in liberal arts, and this management of farmland and water conservancy..."

"You won't, don't you know how to invite people?"

"My lord's encouragement is that next year I will issue a recruitment list to recruit talents for the governance of the country."

"It's still next year, and it will be too late until next year. Immediately find someone to find out the reason. Also, go to your surrounding state capitals more to learn from other people's advanced experience. Don't always guard your own one-acre three-point land."

"Yes, yes, it is time to learn from them."

"You, don't forget that you still owe them a favor. They helped you, so you should also find a way to return the gift. If you want to return the gift, you have to have the strength when, so you have to work hard to surpass them. OK."

"My lord really has great wisdom. Listening to what your lord says is better than reading ten years of books."

"I think you are quite upright, how can you learn how to flatter others?"

"My lord is wronged. I'm not flattering. I'm telling the truth."

"Okay, don't be so talkative with me. You have been under house arrest for a few days, and there are a lot of things in the government. You should go back first and deal with the business."

"My lord, those matters are not in a hurry. My lord has come from afar. Please give me a chance to show my respect as a landlord."

"What the hell, you can't even bring out the rations, and you still want to entertain me, let the people know what to do, okay, I'm leaving now, you don't have to worry about me."

"Well, my lord, I won't keep it any longer. When my Xiaolei Mansion becomes the Land of Abundance one day, I will definitely invite my lord to come and inspect it!"

After Long Genshi left, Li Yisi pushed Pang Xiaonan: "Did you forget something?"

"Damn it!" Pang Xiaonan slapped his forehead, "I forgot the purpose of coming, where is Lei Xibao?"

"My lord, I'm here!" Lei Xibao waved to Pang Xiaonan at the gate of the city. He had just gone to explain to his subordinates that they were going to withdraw.

"I almost forgot, let me ask you, did your Lei family army capture two women?"

"Two girls?" Lei Xibao looked blank. "No."

"Damn, you're still pretending to me!" Pang Xiaonan became angry, and the spies from Baolou couldn't possibly give false information, "Do you know that you've caused big trouble!"

"My lord, I really don't know, I'll check right away!" Lei Xibao seemed to be really ignorant.

Pang Xiaonan looked at Li Yisi, "Do you think this guy secretly controlled Sima Ting just to negotiate the price with me?"

"I don't know." Lewis shook his head. He actually had a good impression of Lei Xibao. General Lei didn't seem like the kind of duplicitous person.

Soon, Lei Xibao brought a person in front of Pang Xiaonan, looking at his attire, he seemed to be a general.

"My lord, we did arrest two women, but I didn't know it was him..." Lei Xibao gave the general a hard push, "Tell me, what's going on!"

"My lord, General, we met two women on the way to Xiaolei City. To be honest, I have never seen such beautiful women. On the one hand, I was worried that they were spies who leaked the news of our march. On the other hand, I was thinking that our general is still unmarried, and I wanted to give the general a surprise..."

"Surprise!" Pang Xiaonan grabbed the general's collar, "Where is he?"

"It's locked in the hotel, I swear, I didn't touch a single hair of them!" Pian Jiang raised his finger.

"Go and bring it to me!"

Seeing Sima Ting and Liu Rushi standing in front of him intact, a big stone in Pang Xiaonan's heart fell to the ground.

"You two are so annoying!" Pang Xiaonan scolded Sima Ting severely.

"Brother Xiaonan, I knew you would come to save me." Sima Ting cried and was about to rush into Pang Xiaonan's arms, but Pang Xiaonan raised her hand to block her.

"Pay attention to the influence!" Sima Ting glanced at the sergeants surrounding her, and stopped her fake crying immediately.

Lei Xibao kept apologizing from the sidelines: "I'm sorry, my lord, I really can't discipline well, and let the people below offend your wife and family..."

"Shut up!" Pang Xiaonan gave Lei Xibao a hard look, "You recognize it clearly, this is Miss Sima Ting, the prime minister's daughter, and also Tan Wang's fiancée!"

"Oh... I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue, damn it!" Lei Xibao slapped himself.

"Okay, let's go right away, you arrange a carriage for me." Pang Xiaonan decided to send Sima Ting and Liu Rushi back to Qingfeng Building first.

"No problem." Lei Xibao quietly pulled Pang Xiaonan aside after making arrangements.

"My lord, it's really thanks to my lord this time, otherwise the Lei family's army would really be doomed. There is no reward for a lowly position. If my lord has any orders in the future, I will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"Let's talk about the future." Pang Xiaonan thought of a clever plan. Isn't the Lei family army the nemesis of the monster army?

"Your Excellency must remember this promise of the General. The General will never owe favors in this life, let alone such a caring adult. This is the sword of the General. It is not a good sword. Please accept it with a smile. From now on, as long as you show this sword , the Lei family army must follow the command in all actions."

"I can't help it, General Lei, you want me to make a mistake." Pang Xiaonan knew that once he accepted this sword, it would be equivalent to Lei's army becoming his direct line of troops.

"My lord, you know this and I know it. There will never be a third person to know about it. Your lord must accept it, otherwise you will not be able to kneel here forever!" Lei Xibao knelt on the ground with Peng Jian in both hands.

Pang Xiaonan had no choice but to accept the sword.

"Thank you for your love, sir, and I wish you a smooth journey!" After leaving Lei Xibao, Pang Xiaonan secretly groaned. This Lei Xibao tied himself firmly with him through the gift of a sword. I have to say that Lei Xibao is A man of great wisdom.

"What are you thinking?" Li Yisi noticed Pang Xiaonan's abnormality.

"Look at this." Pang Xiaonan handed the sword to Li Yisi. In front of Li Yisi, there was nothing to hide.

"Is this Lei Xibao's sword?" Li Yisi drew out the sword with a swipe, "It's a good sword."

The sword body exudes a cold light, which is very dazzling.

"Lei Xibao gave me his sword, do you know what that means?"

"It means that you will be grasshoppers on a rope in the future." Lewis pushed the sword back into the scabbard, making a pleasant sound.

"Sure enough, you are still smart!"

"How do you plan to explain to the court? This time, you will kill first and play later."

"What can we do if we don't cut first and play later?"

Pang Xiaonan looked at Sima Ting, "Don't talk nonsense when you go back, if your father finds out that you have been arrested by Lei Jiajun, then my efforts will be in vain."

"Why are you protecting that Lei Xibao? It was his fault that he arrested me." Sima Ting pouted, although Lei Jiajun didn't do anything to her, she was still a little worried about how many days she was locked up.

"Who told you to run around, it's not unreasonable for them to treat you as a spy."

"I am a spy, but they are spies. They are traitors!" Sima Ting escaped from danger, and now she started to talk about Lei Jiajun's fault, very loudly.

"Okay, the matter is over, it's just a misunderstanding, my aunt, don't make things difficult for me, is it easy for me to rescue you?" Pang Xiaonan's attitude softened a bit.

"Okay, I got it, I'll promise not to talk nonsense when I go back." Seeing Pang Xiaonan showing weakness, Sima Ting also decided to obey.

Liu Rushi asked Pang Xiaonan: "Why didn't Chairman Chen come with you?"

Pang Xiaonan looked at Liu Rushi with a smile, "Why, are you disappointed?"

"Where is it?" Liu Rushi blushed.

"I still don't admit it, haha..." Pang Xiaonan explained, "Chairman Chen has to sit at the back, if you go back, he must be waiting for you now, looking forward to your safe return."

After several people returned to Qingfeng Building, Chen Yuannan was busy, and moved Liu Rushi to a mess.

After a few more days of delay, Pang Xiaonan still decided to leave.

It is still a little unsafe to place the black hole in the territory of Falling Soul, so Pang Xiaonan decided to go back early and ask Professor Hamilton Cox to adjust the position of the black hole.
