Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 303 Aunt, Just Your Little Thoughts

There are more than [-] people in the Suppression Army, including more than [-] from Canglongwei, more than [-] from Haoran Academy, more than [-] from Wuche Academy, more than [-] from Red Clothes Envoy, and [-] from Qingyi Envoy.

Qingyi Pavilion is the absolute main force in the Suppressing Evil Army, but the absolute main force is at the end of the team.

It's better to walk at the end of the line, and stay away from Aunt Liang.

Xu Zhiqiong gave up the horse to Jiang Feili, and ran to the team to chat with the elder sister.

Seeing Xu Zhiqiong walking beside her, Yu Chilan felt a little uncomfortable: "Zhiqiong, you are now Captain Suppressing Nie Zuo, and I am just an ordinary sergeant, we shouldn't get too close."

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "Come closer, what are you afraid of, I will sleep in the same military tent with you tonight."

Yu Chilan blushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Senior sister, have you ever slept in a military tent?"

Yu Chilan shook her head: "All of you have gone to the north to fight. This is my first time. I don't know anything about the barracks. I don't even know where we are going to fight."

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't know either, because we don't even know where the Blood Evil Gate is."

Su Xiujuan said from the side: "Don't you want to catch people's teeth? What are you doing with an army? How can anyone wait to fight the army?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "The Suppression Army is not just an army, it has other uses, and we will know soon."

Leaving the capital and heading south, the whole army walked for a whole day, all of them were cultivators, and most of them were Daoist and Confucianists, with sufficient energy, they traveled more than a hundred miles in one day.

At night, the whole army set up camp.

Liang Xianchun convened the battalion officials to discuss matters.

Ahead is a fork in the road, which leads to Pingman County of Yizhou in the east and Lincong County of Caizhou in the west.

Liang Xianchun said: "Xianchun is leading the army for the first time, and I have to ask you a lot of important military affairs. Dean Zuo and Dean Lin, the two have extensive experience and have experienced battles. What is wrong with Xianchun? The two don't hesitate to give pointers."

Lin Tianzheng smiled modestly: "How dare, how dare."

Zuo Chuxian didn't smile, and said solemnly: "General, Zuo is no longer the dean of Haoran Academy, and he can no longer be called the dean."

During Prince Tunu's rioting in the capital, Zuo Chuxian resigned in front of the emperor because he refused Tunu to study in the academy. The emperor approved it, and the matter was settled.

This time Zuo Chuxian led Haoran Academy to go to war because the emperor named him in the edict, and Zuo Chuxian was supported by teachers and students, so he took up the post of lieutenant of the Chinese Army.

It's a trivial matter whether to call him the dean or not, but Zuo Chuxian is really serious today.

Lin Tianzheng also felt strange, Zuo Chuxian was quite tactful before, why did his temperament change so much after he resigned?

Liang Xianchun quickly changed his words: "Lieutenant Zuo, I blame Xianchun for being careless, please forgive me."

Zuo Chuxian nodded, and then said: "General, from tomorrow onwards, the teachers and students of Haoran Academy will walk behind Wuche Academy and on the battlefield, with warriors in front and literature in the back. This is etiquette and a rule!"

Liang Xianchun laughed dryly, not knowing how to respond.

It was she who deliberately let Zuo Chuxian walk in front of Lin Tianzheng, the purpose was to show her admiration and respect for Zuo Chuxian.

But I didn't expect Zuo Chuxian to be ungrateful.

Lin Tianzheng still wanted to smooth things over: "Lieutenant Zuo, don't worry about order, just follow the general's arrangement."

Zuo Chuxian shook his head and said: "Without rules, there is no place to be around. The barracks is where the rules are supposed to be!"

Liang Xianchun nodded and said, "Then listen to Colonel Zuo."

Zuo Chuxian is not over yet: "From now on, Zuo must be under Lieutenant Lin."

Lin Tianzheng said: "You don't have to worry about such rules and regulations."

Zuo Chuxian looked at Lin Tianzheng and said, "I don't respect you as a human being. On the battlefield, you should respect martial arts!"

Lin Tianzheng turned his head.

This guy didn't seem so annoying before.

Liang Xianchun quickly changed the subject, looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Captain Zuo."

Xu Zhiqiong sat in a daze on the seat.

"Lieutenant Left!"

calls me?

Almost forgot, Xu Zhiqiong's official position is Captain Zuo.

"What is the commander's order?"

Liang Xianchun asked: "To the west is to go to Chaizhou, to the east is to go to Yizhou, which state does Captain Zuo think he should go to?"

Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The subordinates are stupid, and they are all driven by the general."

Liang Xianchun said with contempt on his face: "You can't even come up with an idea, so you can lead a battalion?"

Xu Zhiqiong raised his eyebrows and said, "But the general laughed."

It's not that Xu Zhiqiong can't answer, but he doesn't want to go back.

Pingman County, Yizhou, and Lincong County, Chaizhou, these two places are reasonable choices no matter where to go. Liang Xianchun may even choose to go to both places, or he may go straight to the pipeline and go to neither place.

She had a plan in mind, to test her subordinates with what she believed to be the correct answer. This cheap trick has been played for thousands of years in Xu Zhiqiong's hometown.

Rather than being a fool after being ridiculed by the other party, it is better to pretend to be a fool as soon as you come up.

"Xu Zhiqiong, Captain Xu," Liang Xianchun changed his name to Captain Xu again, and it seemed that he was going to curse someone, "Do you know why I asked you to take Tsing Yi Pavilion at the end of the line?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "I think the general sees my bravery in battle, and purposely let me be at the rear of the team."

Zuo Chuxian was expressionless, and Liang Yuyao secretly glanced at Xu Zhiqiong.

Lin Tianzheng rubbed his forehead, and said to Liang Xianchun, "My subordinates think that Lincong County, Chaizhou is full of mountains and forests, which is suitable for thieves to hide."

Lin Tianzheng also answered casually, the purpose was to rescue Xu Zhiqiong.

Liang Xianchun nodded and said: "Lieutenant Lin is right. I will go to Lin Cong County tomorrow. Xu Zhiqiong, since you like to have a queen, I will let you die tomorrow."

Xu Zhiqiong clasped his fists and said, "I've taken care of you."

After everyone dispersed, Xu Zhiqiong returned to his camp, opened the Yin-Yang Ancient Scroll, and continued to study the famous methods through Yin-Yang Art.

Liang Yuyao arrived later, and blamed Xu Zhiqiong: "Didn't I tell you not to play tricks with my aunt, she has a bad temper!"

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "Do you think her temper will change if I don't play tricks? After all, I just want to make things difficult for me."

Liang Yuyao said: "Lincong County is full of mountains and forests. I can imagine this. If you don't answer carefully, you clearly intend to fight against her."

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "Pingman County, Yizhou has fertile land and a large population. It is suitable for blood cultivators to abduct women and children. Isn't it appropriate to go to Pingman County?"

"Then, where should we go?"

"Where to go depends on your aunt's wishes, but no matter how I answer, it is wrong."

Liang Yuyao seemed to have realized something: "I don't know where you offended my aunt. I think she hates you when you send troops today."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled without saying a word.

Liang Yuyao sat closer, and asked in a low voice; "I have never fought before. If you fight the Blood Sect in Lin Cong County tomorrow, you have to take care of me. I don't want to lose face, and I don't want my sisters to die in vain."

Xu Zhiqiong poked the fire; "Don't worry, we won't see the Blood Evil Sect tomorrow, and there won't be any war."

Liang Yuyao was surprised: "How do you know how to divination? How do you know there will be no war tomorrow?"

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "I have this method, if you don't believe me, let's take a gamble and we will find out tomorrow."

"Bet, bet, what do you want if you win?"

Xu Zhiqiong stared at Liang Yuyao and glanced up and down: "If I win, Fat Tao will hit me twice."

"Bah! Shameless! If I win, I'll hit you in the face!"

……

At dawn the next day, the whole army set off and arrived in Lincong County before noon.

Zheng Quanming, the magistrate of the county, went out to meet him in person, and the army was stationed in the county seat. Liang Xianchun brought a group of battalion officials to the county government for interrogation.

"Zhengzhi County, have you received the edict to exterminate the blood evil sect?"

Zheng Quanming said: "The imperial edict was received seven days ago."

"I received it seven days ago?" Liang Xianchun frowned, "Walking on the county street, I didn't even see a single notice, Zheng County Magistrate, could it be that you haven't done anything in these seven days?"

Zheng Quanming quickly explained: "General, I have been reviewing the files for days, and have screened out all the files of abducting women and children in recent years to collect clues."

Liang Xianchun asked, "Any clues?"

Zheng Quanming said: "The humble official is ashamed. According to the Daxuan law, all those who abduct and traffic women and children will be executed. The humble official can only collect some traces from the confession and criminal evidence."

"What's the gain?"

Zheng Quanming said with a blushing face: "The humble position is incompetent, and there is nothing to gain."

Is he really incompetent?

This is not easy to judge.

But judging from Zheng Quanming's dictation, at least he used the right method, which is the right way to search for the blood evil gate.

As for why there was no result, it was because seven days was too short.

But Liang Xianchun was extremely dissatisfied with this: "Magistrate of Zheng County, the Holy Majesty issued an edict to suppress evil, and you ignored it. For seven days, you did nothing but hide in the county government and read the files?"

Zheng Quanming's head was covered with sweat, and he explained: "The humble job is because I want to..."

Liang Xianchun didn't give Zheng Quanming a chance to explain: "It's freezing cold, but the fire in your yamen is warm. Do you know that the hearts of the people are already terribly cold?"

"Idiosyncratic..."

"You don't have to explain it to me, and when the Ministry of Officials comes to inquire, think about what to say!"

Liang Xianchun walked away, leaving Zheng Quanming at a loss in the county government.

The county magistrate looked aggrieved and said: "Master magistrate, I have been reading files in the government office every day these days, and I have never dared to go home. In the end, this is the result?"

Zheng Quanming said: "I have a clear conscience, and I am not afraid of the officials to investigate."

The county magistrate stomped his feet anxiously: "My lord, don't say such angry words, and like Pingman County, put up notices all over the street first."

Zheng Quanming thought for a long time and said: "General Suppressing Nie has already left, and she can't see it now."

"She can't see it, but the officials can see it anyway. It's not too late to make up for it!"

The army stationed in Lincong County for one night. That night, Liang Xianchun called all the battalion officials to discuss the matter, and he was furious in the camp: "Lincong County is only a hundred miles away from the capital, but it is so lax about the emperor's orders. The surrounding counties must be strictly investigated. Severely punish the county magistrate, if it is a common problem, the officials should be reorganized, and tomorrow we will go to Pingman County to investigate again!"

Liang Yuyao's heart shuddered, and she couldn't help taking a peek at Xu Zhiqiong.

This thief Pi is so powerful that he can see through my aunt's mind.

That night, Xu Zhiqiong came to Liang Yuyao's camp, and Liang Yuyao got up quickly and said, "You have the ability, you won this time, let's gamble again, you said that in Pingman County, can you see the Blood Evil Gate?"

Xu Zhiqiong didn't answer, and sat in front of Liang Yuyao, slapped his knees and said, "Your Highness, please take off your skirt and lie down here."

"Also, still, take off your skirt?"

"I'm willing to bet and admit defeat, let me hit twice first!"

"How dare you! How dare you touch me! Do you know the crime of belittling me?"

Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I won't touch you, you find a place to lie down, and I'll get a guy!"

"What are you doing!" Liang Yuyao grabbed Xu Zhiqiong and said, "It's enough to hit me twice with my hands, what else are you using to beat me to death?"
