Kunlun one millet

Chapter 28

When Zhao Mi returned to Yanze City with the army, he could see a huge gap in the north city wall from a distance, and more than half of the tower next to it collapsed, and the yamen servants were in a hurry to repair it.

"The thieves really came to attack Yanze City?" Zhao Mi saw Wang Juncheng directing the fortification repair outside the city, so he hurriedly patted his horse and asked.

"Zhao Fuli? Why do you..." Wang Juncheng saw Zhao Mi walking out of the army returning to the city, and instantly understood: "I said why you suddenly retreated, so you followed the army to rescue Mr. Luo?"

Zhao Mi got off his horse and cupped his hands: "There is no way, the leader of the army is keeping secrets."

"I understand, I understand, Zhao Fuli doesn't need to talk to me."

"What's going on here?" Zhao Mi pointed to the gap in the city wall: "Could it be that the bandits brought in flying stone machines to attack the city?"

Wang Juncheng smiled bitterly and said: "That's not true. There were not many thieves who attacked the city the day before yesterday, but there were a few demons among them. They easily climbed over the city wall with magic techniques, rushed into the city, and went straight to the mansion where the Chongxuan Hall stayed. The monks on both sides fought, The beating was like flying dogs. Later, Mr. Liang personally shot, summoned the immortal generals to come, and forced those monsters back with a single sword."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Zhao Mi looked at the gap in the city wall, the widest part above it was about ten feet above: "Could it be that this was not done by bandits and monsters, but by that fairy general Mr. Liang..."

Wang Juncheng looked extremely helpless, nodded and said: "Yes, the fairy general only swung his sword, and even half of the street's houses were wiped out. The remaining prestige was not diminished, and he tore such a hole in the city wall. Fortunately, those monsters were captured by the fairy. The generals were scared away, and the thieves outside the city also fled without a trace."

Zhao Mi swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He had indeed heard that Liang Shuo in Chongxuan Pavilion had been guarded by the generals of the immortal family since he was born because of the blood of the immortal lineage.Originally thought that no matter how powerful this immortal general was, at most he would be able to block the invasion of spirits and monsters, but he did not expect that he would be so powerful that he would smash through city walls and flatten houses at every turn.

"Is this the real strength of the official of Falu?" Zhao Mi asked Lingxiao secretly.

"Not all of them are like this." Lingxiao explained: "The officials under the command of the immortals are not randomly set up, but are based on the laws of the immortal family. The town palace and the number of auras belong to each other. It is similar to the officials of a state in the world. Commander, or to govern one side, or to unify the army. Just like this Wang Juncheng, is he better than General Wei in using troops to kill?"

"Of course not. It's just that they can be used according to their ability." Zhao Mi roughly understood: "It seems that Mr. Liang, the protector of the law, is proficient in killing and cutting, but he is not very particular about his work, and he tore down his own city wall."

Zhao Mi vaguely saw the dilapidated rubble behind the gap, and asked Wang Juncheng, "So many houses were destroyed by the immortals, what about the people living in them?"

Wang Juncheng shook his head and sighed: "A hundred or so people have died, and now we can only build some temporary huts, which is better than nothing."

"Master Liang didn't say anything?" Zhao Mi asked.

"No." Wang Juncheng frowned: "I just hope that he will be more cautious next time, if there is a big fight in the city, it will only bring disaster to innocent people."

……

"You guys are back!"

When Shi Huoguang saw Zhao Mi and others returning, he finally let go of the big stone in his heart, and hurriedly opened the door to welcome in.Many monks, including Luo Xixian, were injured and needed to arrange a quiet room to recuperate.

But before Zhao Mi and everyone had a rest, a guest came to the door.

"I am Liang Zhongwei, Sanqing of Chongxuanguan. By the order of my eldest son, you are restricted to leave Tiegong Temple before sunset today."

The visitor sat on the chariot with his toes held high, holding a bronzing invitation card in his hand: "Also, who is Zhao Mi among you? My eldest son invites you to come over."

"I am." Zhao Mi went out to greet him, but he didn't accept the invitation. He cupped his hands and asked, "I don't understand. This is the residence arranged by the county government for Huaiying Pavilion. Why did Chongxuan Pavilion let us leave?"

Liang Zhongwei looked contemptuous: "If you are told to go, go quickly, where is there so much nonsense?"

Before Zhao Mi could answer, Luo Xixian rushed out when he heard the movement: "Don't be too domineering in Chongxuan Hall!"

Liang Zhongwei sneered a few times: "Luo Xixian, look at your embarrassment. You led an army out of the city presumptuously, but lost more than half of it, and almost fell into it yourself. If General Wei hadn't sent another man to rescue you, you would have been a long time ago." The souls of the thieves who died under the sword."

Luo Xixian had just finished taking the medicine, and his arm was still tied with a wound cloth. He was secretly remorseful for being besieged by the bandits, but now he was being ridiculed by Liang Zhongwei, and the flames of anger rose in his chest.

"Where's my sword? Bring my sword!" Luo Xixian raised his hand and pulled it out, only to realize that he forgot to bring out his sword. He was so angry that he yelled at Shi Huoguang behind him, and the other party had to go back to get the sword.

Liang Zhongwei, who was sitting on the chariot, tilted his face and looked casual: "Luo Xixian, I advise you to be more cautious. If you follow your temperament and go against our Chongxuan Pavilion, be careful that the banditry in Xingluo County has not been wiped out. You Father sent you a letter telling you to go back."

Luo Xixian took the sword from Shi Huoguang, and drew it angrily, while Zhao Mi raised his hand to stop him: "Don't be fooled! He deliberately provoked you to do it. If you hurt him, it will be troublesome!"

"I still don't believe it!" Luo Xixian pushed Zhao Mi away, and pointed at Liang Zhongwei with his sword: "You really think I won't do it, you arrogant guy? I'll chop off your head and give it to that bastard!" Look at Liang Shuo, who is not a girl!"

Zhao Mi only felt the sword aura surging in front of him, and his eyes were so painful that it was hard to open. Before he could stop him, Luo Xixian jumped up, and the sword aura burst out.

Even if the swordsmen were injured, their physiques and bones were far superior to ordinary people, and Luo Xixian recovered a little on the way back.It's just that since Zhongfu was trapped in the Sanniu Pit, the depression in his heart has been hard to dissipate. At this moment, the Chongxuan Pavilion came to provoke Luo Xixian, and Luo Xixian couldn't bear it anymore. Strong one -

Desperate!

Zhao Mi only heard a piercing sound of swords, followed by the sound of wood and stone breaking and falling to the ground.

Open your eyes again, on the ground outside the courtyard gate, there was a sword mark several zhang, which split Liang Zhongwei's body into two halves. on the spot.

Datan's blood was scattered all over the ground with the sword energy, like a bright red splashed ink painting.

The scene suddenly fell into dead silence, only Luo Xixian's heavy breathing remained.

"oops……"

Zhao Mi was the first to react, sitting on the threshold as if he was exhausted, and he didn't care about any taboos at the moment.

"Sword Immortal Luo, are you crazy?" Zhao Mi's face was huddled together.

"Don't call me that!" Luo Xixian suddenly turned around and shouted.

Zhao Mi was stopped by this sentence, his face was stunned at first, and then he said angrily: "I'm asking you why are you crazy?! You don't like the people in Chongxuan Pavilion, you won't kill him with a sword Bar?!"

"It was he who provoked first!" Luo Xixian pointed to the bloody and torn corpses on the ground: "They have already insulted you, so what nonsense are you talking about?"

"No——" Zhao Mi felt his head burnt out, and he turned around in circles: "This is not a battlefield where you fight to the death, what's the use of killing him?!"

"That's because Liang Zhongwei doesn't fight!" Luo Xixian retorted: "Since he dares to come to the door to provoke, he must be prepared to bear the anger. He, Sanqing, can't even catch my sword, so why talk nonsense?"

After hearing this, Zhao Mi couldn't keep his mouth shut: "What kind of nonsense is this? He is not worthy of virtue. Even if you want to teach him a lesson, it is enough to break his legs and feet. Why do you want to kill someone?"

Luo Xixian suddenly became serious: "Zhao Shu, who is in charge of the Huaiying Pavilion here?"

Zhao Mi was silent for a moment, with a bit of bitterness on his face: "It's you."

"Since that's the case, don't refute my decision!" Luo Xixian's eyes widened angrily: "I killed Liang Zhongwei, and it's not your turn to criticize me. The Chongxuan Pavilion is going to make trouble. I really think I'll be afraid of them?"

There are thousands of words in Zhao Mi's stomach, but they are stuck in his throat at the moment, and he leaves Tie Gong Temple dejectedly.

……

In the county government office, Wang Juncheng and General Wei both looked gloomy.

"Now the two adults know." Zhao Mi sat aside, rubbing his brows and worrying: "I really can't do anything about this matter, I don't know what Chongxuan Pavilion will think."

General Wei looked at Wang Juncheng, and said to the other party: "Chongxuan Pavilion has already collected the body, but didn't say much. It's just that I don't quite understand. Doesn't that Liang Zhongwei have any power to protect himself?"

"My lord Wang doesn't know something." General Wei explained: "Nowadays, awarding titles to monks in Guanxi is not entirely based on the cultivation of skills or accumulating merits. To confer the book of Dharma to ordinary people with no cultivation. Thinking about it, Liang Zhongwei doesn't have much ability, so he can't resist Master Luo's anger when he draws his sword."

Wang Juncheng had a weird expression: "You can get a talisman with rich Faxin? This, isn't this the same as selling an official for a noble?"

General Wei's eyes dodged: "Your Majesty Wang has been in Xingluo County for a long time, so I don't know that this matter has become a fashion in Dongsheng. If you want to make friends with those ministers, you have to do this. Even this general has given you a seal."

"Oh?" Wang Juncheng asked: "What kind of title will General Wei confer?"

"Xuantu True Scholar Nine Heavens Kills Evil Envoys." General Wei couldn't help but feel ashamed when he said this: "It's the newly established Dharma position in the Chongxuan Hall, I don't understand it, and I enshrine the Dharma letter just because of the name. "

Zhao Shu then said: "After the end of the Five Kingdoms War, Chongxuanguan felt that the system of official titles was a bit crude, so in addition to Fuli Sanqing, a new set of nine ranks of immortal ranks was created, and the ranks of immortals were to be used. Blood Yin, birth and family status are the criteria to distinguish high and low."

"Ah? Can it still be like this?" Wang Juncheng asked: "Can you still talk about your background when it comes to cultivation?"

Zhao Mi spread his hands together: "There are four families in the Chongxuan Pavilion, and there are indeed some people who have become immortals in their ancestors. The two adults have also seen the skills of Mr. Liang. But not all of the tricks in the Chongxuan Pavilion. Everybody admits it."

In fact, the most fierce opposition to the Ninth Grade Immortal Rank is the Huaiying Pavilion.Zhang Duanjing, the first seat, went to Dongshengdu many times to meet the king and state his interests, which made the new system established by Chongxuan Pavilion unable to be implemented nationwide, and was limited to the catechumens of the dignitaries inside and outside Dongshengdu.

Zhao Mi is really not interested in the intrigues of these big figures. If the title can be awarded to ordinary people without practice because of the rich faith, then its own sacred dignity is out of the question, and it has become a means of making money. .

"Let's not talk about this for now." General Wei said: "Young Master Luo killed the Liang family's children in Chongxuan Pavilion. I can't hide it even if I want to. We still need to discuss a countermeasure as soon as possible."

Wang Juncheng didn't want to cause big troubles on his own territory: "Mr. Luo's father is the chief minister of the dynasty, why don't you let him go home to avoid the limelight?"

"I think so too." General Wei said, "But...the one who recommended me to the King to suppress bandits in Xingluo County is Da Sima."

Wang Juncheng cursed secretly in his heart. In the final analysis, Da Sima used Xingluo County to suppress bandits to pave the way for his son's future official career.It's just that in Wang Juncheng's view, this Mr. Luo is eager for quick success, has a violent temper, is impulsive and short-sighted, and is far less capable and easy to get along with than Zhao Fuli.

And Zhao Mi heard what General Wei said, and he probably understood Luo Xixian's recent mood changes.As a concubine, he had a low status in the family. He thought that he could make contributions by himself when he came to Xingluo County, and escape from the shadow of his father and family, but in the end he was still in it.

"I'll go talk to Mr. Luo." General Wei slapped his thigh: "Since he was born in the general family, he should know the prohibition of the army and prevent private fighting. Let Mr. Luo temporarily serve under my account, and it can also avoid some unnecessary Trouble. As for the Chongxuan Pavilion..."

Wang Juncheng replied helplessly: "I will do my best. As for whether Mr. Liang is willing to see me, that's hard to say."

Zhao Mi said: "Originally Chongxuan Pavilion sent Liang Zhongwei to invite me, but I don't know why."

Wang Juncheng reacted immediately: "Isn't this a blatant separation between you and Mr. Luo? Chongxuan Hall's move is too vicious!"

"I've also figured it out now." Zhao Mi sighed: "At worst, I'll go back to the Huaiying Pavilion and continue to immerse myself in the study of magic techniques. I'm not more than one in suppressing bandits, and I'm not much less."

"No! You can't go!" Wang Juncheng and General Wei stood up together.

Wang Juncheng said: "In the prison next to the county mansion, there are still two thieves and demons imprisoned. Now only Zhao Fuli is willing to take care of the prison. If I can’t find you, let me ask you for it.”

General Wei said angrily: "Thousands of my soldiers are still looking forward to the protection of the talisman. Now the whole battalion knows that the golden armor talisman is effective. If you leave, how can those soldiers be willing to fight and fight?"

"It's not that exaggerated." Zhao Mi murmured, "At worst, I will teach other people the corresponding spells and spells. I am not the only one who can do these things, nor are they difficult."

Wang Juncheng stomped his feet and said: "Zhao Fuli, brother Zhao! Don't you understand? Other monks are used to sitting back and relax, how can they be willing to do things like you? If you don't take the lead, the people in the Huaiying Hall may not be able to take over!"

General Wei also said: "You have known Mr. Luo longer than us, you should see that he is only good at fighting in battle, but suppressing bandits is not just about fighting and killing."

"But..." Zhao Mi couldn't help suspecting that it was because he was too "down-to-earth" and stole the limelight that he and Luo Xixian were gradually alienated.

Wang Juncheng interrupted: "I have a solution. Didn't the imperial court send a monk to stay in the county mansion before? Right now, I just have this vacancy here. Zhao Fuli, you are here to take over. It is urgent to suppress the bandits, and there is a slight contingency. Count too much!"
