Chapter 247 Drive away tigers and devour wolves, this is a conspiracy

"pretty good"

Zhang Kun couldn't help laughing when he saw the commendation document sent by Yuezhou Governor's Office, as well as the two scribes sent to assist him in governing Baling.

If he didn't have high expectations for the direction of Yuezhou, he would definitely be very disappointed at this time.

"It's not that I didn't gain anything, at least, Brother Zhang is now promoted to the sixth rank of the Demon Extinguishing Captain, which is one level higher than the county magistrate Gu Yuanfang. It is actually a good thing that no one will be sent over to distribute power.”

Wu Zhenshan also looked a little embarrassed.

He also didn't understand why the Tiance Mansion sent him to reward him.

He did not pass the battle against the demon monk in the Bodhi Court. The reason is very simple, he is not strong enough.

Although there is no past, I also vaguely heard some news, knowing that this newly promoted Baling county captain and concurrently serving as the captain of the Tiance Mansion's Demon Subduing School had made great contributions at that time.

As many as [-] of those lieutenants who exterminated demons and subdued demons and the military officers of the Governor's Mansion survived, thanks to his contribution from the side.

Wu Zhenshan didn't know the specific details, he just guessed from the attitude of his colleagues that there must be something unspeakable.Because, among the surviving captains, when they talked about Zhang Bailing, they all admired him, and no one spoke ill of him in private.

This is outrageous.

One must know that the school captains of Tiance Mansion, because they have dealt with demons and goblins all the year round, each of them has their own unique housekeeping skills, so they won't easily convince others.

In particular, these people still have official status, and their official rank varies. When they go to the local area, they see that the official is half a rank high, and they are used to acting domineering.

This is also the default rule, the reason is very simple, the Tiance Mansion is the emperor's cronies, not under the jurisdiction of hundreds of officials, and they are directly responsible to the emperor for everything they do.

But it is such a group of people who are so proud and arrogant that they are all convinced.

It is conceivable what Zhang Bailing did during that battle.

Directly promoted to rank six Demon Extinguishing Captain, rewarded with gold, silver and jewels, and some training medicinal materials, which is also the meaning of the question.

What Wu Zhenshan didn't understand was, knowing that Zhang Bailing had such powerful abilities, why didn't he have a transfer order for him to continue to make contributions...

Now that the battle for the Water Palace is in a hurry, Huangquan Mountain is also a little unstable, and the situation in Yuezhou is very dangerous.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Bailing is still left idle in Baling, which is somewhat confusing.

In his opinion, some secular rewards of gold and silver treasures, and a mere batch of training pills are nothing to Zhang Bailing, who has collected the Zhao family's wealth and controls the business of Baling. superior.

In addition to the sixth-rank official position, it has some meaning.

This reward is like nothing.

There is also the reward from Yuezhou Governor's Mansion, which is even more strange. Apart from verbal commendations and 300 taels of silver, there is no other reward.

If Wu Zhenshan didn't know the whole story of the battle at Bodhiyuan, he would have thought that Yuezhou Governor's Office was blaming the Baling county lieutenant.

Giving 300 taels of silver, isn't that a slap in the face?
I always feel that there is some kind of weird atmosphere in it.

"Don't worry too much, in fact, this kind of reward is already very good."

Zhang Kun shook his head, and immediately ordered the cook to tidy up a table of banquets and clean up the dust for Wu Zhenshan.

Tiance Mansion sent such a captain who had fought side by side.

It proved that the other party had no intention of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, nor did he have the idea of ​​settling accounts after the fall.

just fine.

In fact, Zhang Kun naturally knew in his heart that in the battle at the Bodhi Courtyard, the others had no problem. Yan Beifei's death, especially Zuo Yukun's death, really couldn't stand scrutiny.

Perhaps, those captains and generals fought fiercely at that time, and did not pay special attention to their own actions.

However, Shangguan died, and he, the strongest force except for the monk Zizhulin Primordial Spirit, was unharmed.

It reveals a lot of information in itself.

For Fairy Mingyu in Zizhu Forest, after all, she is a foreign aid, no matter what she does, the result will be good, and she will not be suspected afterwards.

However, Zhang Kun here theoretically belongs to Zuo Yukun's subordinates, and his force is unfathomable. Monk Guangfa was killed by him himself...whether he took advantage of it or what happened?To kill is to kill, there is absolutely no chance at all.

Here comes the problem.

Since he could kill Monk Guangfa, why didn't he save Zuo Yukun's life.

Replay the previous battle situation.

Then you will know that in the beginning, he and Yan Beifei dealt with the eighteen Dharma Protectors together.

The problem is coming again.

He was still fine, Yan Beifei also died.

There are some things that can't be thought deeply, as long as you think about it, you can definitely understand the weirdness.

Therefore, Zhang Kun was held in Baling and could not move, and he was no longer given the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. On the surface, some less useful rewards were given to appease him, which is very understandable.

In the dark, there will definitely be all kinds of temptations.

The more there is no action, the more storms are brewing.

……

After sending Wu Zhenshan away, Zhang Kun stood in front of the window, looking at the garden full of beautiful women, his heart was as calm as water.

He is waiting for someone.

Wait for a message.

More than 20 days have passed since the bloody battle at the Bodhi Court that day, and the dragon energy points in the attribute column have quietly reached 5128 points. gather.

He felt that if there were no problems, he could just keep procrastinating like this, and keep going. One day, he would be able to break through to the middle stage of the Divine Martial Realm.

At that time, if you reach the highest level of human limitation in this world, no matter how powerful your supernatural powers are, no matter how hard your background is, you will not be afraid.

However, not yet.

In the early stages of the Divine Martial Realm, even if they are able to overwhelm some not-too-powerful Dharma Bodies or the middle stage of Yuanshen, they are not that strong in essence. When they really meet monks in the late stages of this stage, they even reach the peak of the realm for many years. Cultivators and monsters not only lose the slightest advantage, but are even in danger of dying.

This is no joke.

Even Zuo Yukun can take out a fairy talisman. Who can guarantee that those fifth-order monks who don't show their mountains and show their water will come up with a big killer that can just restrain themselves?

Therefore, sitting still, there is a way to play sitting still.

It doesn't mean that one should really ignore the affairs of the world, regardless of the rest, one should still fight, the more Dragon Qi points you get, the faster you will become stronger and stronger, this is the real life-saving formula.

"Sir, I'm back."

The little girl ran into the room with a flushed face, picked up the teapot on the table, and gulped down.

"That's tea."

Zhang Kun shook his head, thinking that the little carp has lived in the human world for a long time, eating, drinking, and various daily living habits have also begun to move closer to humans.

However, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a human child, full of novelty and lively in everything.

I forgot to ask, how many years has this carp been born, and what is the lifespan of the fish? Will the lifespan be greatly extended after transforming into a dragon?
So, how old is the current age of a small carp equal to that of a human being?

It's not easy for Zhang Kun to ask this complicated question, because he learned from some information that the other party's life experience is actually a bit bleak, but the little girl is heartless and doesn't show it on weekdays.

It's just that when she was alone, she occasionally felt very sad, so she could understand that before she met Zhang Kun, she must have had a very unsatisfactory life.

Otherwise, as the blood of the Dragon God, how could he be caught in the net of an ordinary fisherman and almost become a delicacy on the plate.

"I know it's tea. Xianggong likes to drink it. It must be delicious."

Little Carp smiled innocently and stupidly, and learned everything, making Zhang Kun unable to utter a basket of words that he had thought up, so he had to change the subject:
"Have you found any news?"

"Really."

The little carp's big eyes were shining, flickering, and looked at Zhang Kun with some admiration: "The land of Baling is calm and calm. If you don't pay attention, you really don't know. The outside world has already gone crazy. It is said that Mr. Zhang, the captain of Baling County, is powerful. Comparable to gods and Buddhas, the Bodhi Courtyard was destroyed by you alone, and monk Guangfa was beheaded.

Moreover, you also said that you are quietly hiding in Baling, and that you control a divine dragon, which has reached the fifth level, and you are watching the battle for the Water Mansion. Maybe you want the oriole to be behind, and you have all kinds of plots behind you..."

"Have you reached the fifth level?"

"No, I can't break through that level anyway." Little Carp was a little frustrated.

Turning his head, he looked with hopeful eyes, as if he was saying, Mr. Xiang, you are the best, you must have a way, right?

"Actually, there is a way."

Zhang Kun sighed.

Since breaking through the realm of divine martial arts, relying on the medical skills acquired from Yu Ji, she has been able to leverage some of the subtle rules of the world, stimulate the blood in the little carp's body, and let her advance by leaps and bounds.

If there is no accident, it can really make her break through the fifth level in a short time.

Not only is it a breakthrough in cultivation, but it also directly crosses the level of transforming the dragon, which is much stronger than the ordinary fifth-order primordial spirit stage.

Beforehand, he wanted to let the little carp grind it out again, lay a solid foundation, and cultivate his spirit. From the beginning of the dragon transformation, it is best to directly reach the middle stage of Yuanshen, but unfortunately, time is running out.

Who knows who has already seen through the situation in Baling.

Moreover, directly use half-truth and half-false news to stir up the situation.

Once this news is spread, those who are interested will definitely not care whether it is true or not, they would rather believe it than believe it.

It is very possible to directly target Baling.

In this way, Zhang Kun's plan to develop silently has come to nothing.

"Who do you think sent the news?"

Zhang Kun looked at the little girl and saw that she wasn't worried at all, but was elated. He couldn't help but want to test her. After breaking through to the fifth level, there will definitely be a lot of wind and rain in the future, and she must have the ability to be independent.

Since people think that the fifth-order dragon species can conspire against the Water Palace, even if they admit that they don't have this intention, no matter how much they swear, no one else will believe it.

Besides, although this news is speculative, it coincides with Zhang Kun's certain thoughts. It can only be said that what he did in Baling falls in the eyes of a caring person, and the other party is also a smart person. Now that he has analyzed his own behavior mechanism, it is useless to try to cover it up.

Then, it's better to push the boat along the way and create established facts, so that some people dare not make calculations, and let those who dare to make calculations shrink back directly...

It is better to take the initiative.

"It's the Qingyu Gang. Since the last night attack, the Hall Master of Five Yins and two elders were trapped in Baling, and they haven't moved at all. Obviously something is wrong. As far as I know, since the establishment of this gang, there has been a short period of time." In just five years, he has established a foundation in the five cities, and his power has expanded extremely fast, and his ambition is not small.

Its leader, Xu Changqing, is rumored to be quite a gentleman, and he loves to make friends. The specifics of his strength are unknown. However, in five years, no less than ten large gangs fought with the Qingyu Gang and died, and no one knows. Just how strong he is, I only know that those masters who fought against him all died for no reason. "

"It's impossible for the news to spread so fast with the Qingyu Gang alone."

Zhang Kun was thoughtful.

This gang, if he guessed correctly, must have something to do with Shepanling.

During the attack that day and night, the head of the Wuyin Hall of the Qingyu Gang and others intentionally or unintentionally joined hands with the pangolin monster to attack.

In the eyes of others, it may be a coincidence that two groups of opponents collided.

However, Zhang Kunzhong never believed that there are so many coincidences in the world.

Including at the beginning, the leader of the Qingyu Gang came to his house and wanted to take the little carp away, which was a little difficult to explain.

They kept saying that they were ordered by the Shui Mansion to catch the little carp.

Now the Lord of the Water Mansion, the Dragon Lord, has been overwhelmed with self-care and is under siege, so where does he have the thought to issue an order.

Besides, even if Lord Long wanted to find the little carp, he wouldn't send someone to arrest him. Even if he was secretly dissatisfied, he had to be aboveboard if he wanted to target him, otherwise, it would be inconsistent with his identity.

Therefore, this summons is also false.

The real order obviously came from someone else.

Who is the one who covets the Dragon God's bloodline the most?

In addition to flood dragons, of course there are also snakes...

In this way, it is very clear who the main messenger behind the Qingyu Gang is.

"Have you ever thought about what our first reaction was when the news reached our ears?"

"Deal with the Qingyu Gang, kill the Shepanling!"

The little carp said murderously.

"Look, look, you think so, and the person who spread the news probably thinks so too."

"Could it be..."

"An expert, if my guess is correct, apart from Shepanling and your thirteen concubine brothers, there is another side in the battle for the Water Mansion, which is the Governor's Mansion of Yuezhou..."

"Yeah, yes, my husband guessed right. I just found out that Li Chengfeng, the general guarding Yuezhou, attacked Huangquan Mountain. In fact, he sneaked into Dongting secretly. This was discovered by fishermen along the lake. I know General Li, but I only know one of the partial generals. That man is from a fisherman, he was recruited by the court, and he is well-known in Yuezhou. He is ashamed of his family background and never mentions his former identity as a fisherman. It's very unreasonable to go boating on the lake."

Little carp nodded his head, and analyzed: "The governor of Yuezhou is silent, it seems that he is playing a big game of chess, Mr. Xianggong Shi Yueshang's secession of Baling, he doesn't seem to care at all, he doesn't know it yet. What are you thinking? If you don’t make a move on the surface, I’m afraid you’ve already made a move in the dark.”

"That's right, this move is a conspiracy. Even if you guessed that the other party was planning to drive tigers and wolfs away, you still had to respond."

Zhang Kun's eyes moved slightly, and his face was cold: "Even if we ignore it, the Qingyu Gang and Shepanshan will probably also move. Monsters have always acted without scruples. They hide behind and poke secretly. It is impossible to guard against it. Even if we If they can resist, the people of Baling may suffer heavy casualties, and if they are not careful, many things they have done before will be in vain."

"Once this kind of situation really happens, infinite resentment will immediately counterattack. Even if I can still have the audacity to serve as the county captain, I am afraid that people in the world will not agree."

"The most troubling thing is that if the people of Baling really suffer, no matter if it's the Tiance Mansion or the Governor's Mansion, they will have enough reasons to come and ask them to be held accountable... If they don't want to plead guilty, they can only leave. Therefore, they didn't send a single soldier. One death will force us to flee Baling in desperation and die in the world."

"What should I do?"

The little carp thought about it carefully, and his expression became a little anxious.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's okay to follow the plan. Don't think about breaking the Yangmou thing. Take a step back and see what happens. Step back, and sometimes move forward."

Zhang Kun said with a smile.
