Chapter 154
Chapter 154
Chu Xian had a feeling that even if he met the magistrate of Zhenxi City Mansion, it would be difficult for him to do so.Once I came to Liangzhou, it was a remote place, and the most difficult thing every year is the long snow season. By this time, the grain depots in various places are often empty, not to mention the county government, even the city government in various places, have to try their best to mobilize money to buy Food, delivered everywhere.
In this way, the city government may not have any extra money.
Second, if there is no evidence for the invasion of the monster race, the magistrate may not listen to it. After all, there has been no large-scale invasion of the monster race in Liangzhou for more than ten years. I know everything, but how many people can really do it?
Just looking at the attitudes of the county governments in various places towards the county defense, it can be seen that it can no longer be called negligence.
If the city government imposes strict restrictions, no matter how bold the county government below is, it will not dare to neglect the county defense. It can only be said that the upper layer has been negligent and lax.
It's not their fault either.
Chu Xian knew that if he didn't know what happened in his previous life, then there would be no monster clan invasion, but he would have to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in county defense every year, three to five years would be fine, ten to eight years?I may not be able to tense my nerves every year. I am afraid that even if someone insists, they will reduce their investment in this area year by year. What's more, in more than ten years, many children don't even know what the monster invasion means. A habit is formed.
People are used to the monster clan not coming, this year will be the same as last year, and next year will be the same as this year.
Inertia is such that it is difficult to change.
Finally, at noon on the third day, Chu Xian met the magistrate of Zhenxi City Mansion. The other party was also busy with business, but he treated the visiting officials very politely without any airs.
After exchanging pleasantries, Chu Xian expressed his intentions, and sure enough, the magistrate was silent for a moment, and said: "Chu County Chancellor, there is nothing wrong with your worry, and as far as I know, the county defenses in various places have not been negligent, but It’s not as tight as it was more than ten years ago. After all, the Yaozu has not shown up for more than ten years. As for the county defense in Dinghai County, the Secretary of the City Mansion also mentioned to me before that Dinghai County has been in the past few days. This year's county defense money is used to improve people's livelihood, the city governor is aware of this, and this year's money has already been allocated, and next year, it will not be distributed until the beginning of spring."
As soon as Chu Xian heard this, he knew it was over.
That bastard Wu Degui moved very quickly. The other party's backer should be the chief secretary of the Zhenxi City Mansion. As expected, he had already calmed down. In this way, Wu Degui's behavior, which was clearly a violation of official discipline, was inexplicably cleared. .
After all, this is something that the chief secretary of the city government tacitly approves of.
Chu Xian had no intention of getting entangled in Wu Degui's matter. He knew that the money would not come down, but the supplies would be needed, and it would be best to send some red gold troops.
Thinking of this, Chu Xian said again: "My lord, I have received news that Dinghai County will be invaded by the demon clan at the latest in the spring of next year at the latest, or after the end of the snow season at the earliest, so no matter what, please ask the magistrate to My lord, send some supplies, including armor and weapons. In addition, the Dinghai County Army is no longer an army. I dare to send a red gold army of [-] people to Dinghai County to defend for three months. After three months, if there are no monsters to invade, I will return them. .”
"This..." The magistrate was taken aback for a moment. He probably didn't expect Chu Xian to make such an 'excessive' request. It's fine to allocate supplies. It's not a big deal, but we need to send 100 red gold troops to Dinghai County to guard the third Month, this is something that has never happened before.
After all, which county magistrate dared to say such a thing?
This Chu Xian just dared to do so, and he didn't seem to have the slightest bit of innocence. Could it be that he didn't know that this was not a matter of his own decision, but that he had to notify the military mansion, at least with the consent of the military mansion's assistant officer, and cover the big Only print.
At that moment, the magistrate smiled.
Chu Xian didn't smile, and was extremely serious. This time, the magistrate laughed dryly, stopped, stared at Chu Xian for a long time, and then said seriously: "Chu County Chancellor, do you know what you are talking about?" ?"
"The lower officials know, and it is precisely because they know that they have the courage to ask for a transfer." Chu Xian bowed.
The government order shook his head.
"It can't be done, this matter can't be done, how can it be so easy to mobilize the army? Don't mention this matter again. As for the house, armor and weapons, I can give special approval to prepare some for you to take back. Don't worry about the rest. Bring it up again."
Chu Xian did not continue to insist.
He knew that there were some things that were useless to say.In the final analysis, it was because the magistrate didn't believe in the fact that the monster clan was about to invade, so even if Chu Xian talked about it, it wouldn't help.
People reject it from the heart.
Besides, it's annoying.
After leaving the city, Chu Xian was not particularly disappointed. He had expected this ending a long time ago. Fortunately, this time it was not without any gains. At least he could mobilize a batch of armor and weapons to go back. This was already a great help .
Chu Xian made up his mind, took the approval document, and directly brought back two hundred sets of armor, two hundred sets of weapons, bows and arrows, as many as he wanted, and with these, he would find a way to recruit county soldiers and train them a little in his own way , you can form a combat force.
Fortunately, the snow season is still two months away. During these two months, nothing should happen.
Feeling relaxed, Chu Xian waited for the approval to come down. At the same time, he brought Qi Chengxiang, Luo Yong and Xia Bozhong around Zhenxi City. After all, this is the largest city in the frontier with a long history. I don’t know how many human heroes and deeds have happened. .
The most recent one, said to be 50 years ago, was claimed to be invaded by [-] demon troops. The general who defended the city was General Zhongwu, Wu Sheng Qi Yun. , Killed an unknown number of monster clan powers, blood flowed in the city, and finally forced the monster clan army to retreat, and won a brilliant victory.
In the realm of martial arts, "refining the body to produce essence" is called acquired, "refining essence and transforming qi" is called innate, "refining qi and transforming spirit" is called master, and "refining gods into Tao" respects martial saints.
A martial sage, within a distance of a hundred feet, is enough to easily kill a Dharmakaya realm of magic arts and Taoism, not to mention that it is a fourth-rank loyal military general of the Holy Dynasty, who is like a god of war.
Even now, there is a war halberd left in one place in the city. The war halberd was inserted into the masonry ground, and the surrounding area was shaken with cracks.
This is when a demon king of the demon race secretly sneaked into the city, but was discovered by Qi Yun, the loyal general on the city wall. At least 150 feet away, he actually took the halberd from the hands of the sergeant next to him and threw it across the air. The halberd was like lightning Usually, kill the demon king through the chest.
What kind of divine power is this?
From Chu Xian's point of view, General Qi Yun's martial arts has reached its peak, and the battle halberd is entwined with the domineering spirit of a martial saint. Overhaul, I can't stand it.
At this moment, Chu Xian and the others looked at the war halberd that had been regarded as a monument in front of them, and admired the glory of their ancestors.
Just at this moment, a voice sounded from the side.
"Friend Daoist, you have suffered a bloody disaster recently."
Chu Xian was taken aback, and turned his head to look, not far away on the side of the road, an old man dressed as a Taoist priest was sitting on the ground, his clothes were ragged, and the Taoist robe was so torn that there was nowhere to mend it, not only was it torn, it was also dirty, and some places were black and white. It's black, and I don't know how long it hasn't been washed.There is also a banner next to the old Taoist priest, with the four characters "Divination and Asking the Sky" written on it.
Obviously, this old man was talking to Chu Xian.
Chu Xian glanced at the old man, smiled slightly, and walked over.
"This old man can't speak, and he always tells people there is a bloody disaster." Xia Bozhong didn't believe this, and said with a frown at this moment. For a scholar like him, of course he doesn't believe in divination.
Chu Xian knows that there are strange people in this world, and they really have the method of divination, which can penetrate the secrets of heaven, but there are very few such people, and nothing is free.
Peeping at the secrets of the sky, you will be backlashed by the law of heaven. If you don't see those who are really capable, they are either alone and without children, or they are destitute, or they are seriously ill. Almost none of them can die well.
If anyone can make a fortune by fortune-telling, there is no doubt that he is a liar.
Hearing Xia Bozhong's words, the old Taoist was not happy, and immediately shouted: "Oh, you scholar, don't believe it, just say that a few days ago, you almost died in Huangquan, is this a bloody disaster?"
Xia Bozhong still wanted to refute, but immediately thought of the incident of being attacked in the ruined temple, his expression changed and he fell silent, because according to this, the old Taoist was right.
A few days ago, it was really a bloody disaster.
But how did this old Taoist see it?Could it be that it was really calculated?
At this moment, Chu Xian flicked his sleeves lightly, and he could vaguely see fish shadows swimming between his sleeves, and the water was rippling. The next moment, including Xia Bozhong and Qi Chengxiang, except for Chu Xian and the old Taoist, this Everyone in the small street seemed to be frozen, motionless.
The old Taoist jumped up from the ground in shock, squinted his eyes and shouted loudly: "Good method, good method, what is this? My dear, this is the yin and yang phantom god carp, this fellow Taoist, it's a great opportunity. "
Chu Xian was unmoved, staring at the old Taoist with a pair of eyes, and said: "Wearing all kinds of disease-free clothes and holding a four-element divination banner, isn't this the famous Tianji old man? It's just that I didn't expect you, senior, to come to this bitter cold place."
Chu Xian recognized the old Taoist priest.
The identity of the old man Tianji is a mystery, he is good at divination, and divination can be divided into big and small, the narrow way looks at the past, and the big way looks at the future.
Ninety-nine percent of the cultivation of divination and calculation in the world can only practice divination and calculation, which is to look at the past and calculate what has happened in the past. Only very few people have the ability to peek into the future and explore things that have not happened yet.
Old Man Tianji is one of the very few people who can peer into the future.
The clothes for all kinds of diseases and the four-element fortune-telling banner are the signs of this old man of Tianji, but not everyone knows it, but there are quite a few people who know it.
Therefore, Chu Xian's behavior will not arouse any suspicion, it can only show that he has a wide range of knowledge.
If it is the third watch today, how many votes can the brothers contribute?Leave a message and leave a message. After arriving, the eggplant worked hard and came to the third watch.
