Daxia Lingxian

Chapter 167

That night, Luo Ning ordered the official residence to be renamed the City Lord's Mansion, the small lake in the residence to be Qingying Lake, and the small mountain beside Qingying Lake to be Cuimei Mountain.

Change the core master's house to Luoyuan.

Luo Ning took Su Chuo and others directly to live in the most beautiful Luoyuan.The entire Luo family class, including Xiao Hei and Lao Zhi, all entered Luo Yuan, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers.

More than a dozen Tubo slaves immediately became Luo Yuan's servants.

Luo Ning finally has his own mansion.

Unfortunately, my younger sister Luo Li is missing, so I don't know where she is.

Li Dingguo, Su Xian, and Hongxiu also did not come to Xifan to find him.

He has already ordered Wei Zhongyu's old department to secretly search for a few people, but there has been no news.

Qian Si's abacus was also assigned to a small courtyard next to Luoyuan.

Tubo soldiers lived in the front yard of the barracks, ready-made private barracks.

All the warehouses in the City Lord's Mansion have also changed their lock patterns.

The next morning, Luo Ning received a report from Basang and Yinzhen.

The Jin family of Nayuki has been eradicated.

Confiscated property equivalent to 150 million taels of gold!
At this point, four groups of 140 million serfs and a territory of [-] miles around were under Luo Ning's control.

There are thousands of threads, and a lot of waste is waiting to be done!
The governance team of the City Lord's Mansion needs to be improved urgently.

As a result, a "Order to Seek Talents" was promulgated.

Don't ask about your background, just look at your talent!
One after another, the city lord orders flew out of the city lord's mansion, shocking the entire Longcuo Tripartite.

Then, the news spread to the surrounding area, and soon spread throughout Shunzhou.

"Chu Wei and other families were ransacked and exterminated."

"Long Cuo City Lord issued a notice to relieve the serfs and reduce taxes."

"Longcuo city lord promulgated the "Order of Seeking Talents", not because of background, but only for talent."

The order of the city lord aroused great repercussions in Longcuo Sanbu and Naixuebu. The name Luo Ning was immediately known among Xia people's serfs.

When many people heard that Chu Wei and other families were destroyed, they wept with joy and clapped their hands.

The city lord's relief made them even more grateful and unbelievable.

In just a few days, Luo Ning began to win the hearts and minds of 140 million serfs.

Ling Daozhu finally began to reap the will from the hearts of the people!

……

The prosperous and prosperous Songyuan City, the magnificent Jiedu Mansion.

In the Tubo-style flower hall, Sangbu Yundan's expression was a bit gloomy.

"Luo Ning, an outsider, is a wolf cub."

"Just watch, sooner or later, he will bring disaster to Shunzhou."

Master Jiedushi said, fiddled with a string of black Buddhist beads in his hand.

The ink-colored Buddhist bead is full of Dao rhyme, cold as ice and snow, I don't know what material it is, but it is extremely extraordinary at first glance.

The big figures present in the flower hall, in addition to Jiedu envoy Sangbu Yundan, Xibian Jiangcun Dorji, Jieerlun Ganglawangdui, the head of the Jinpeng Temple Fanxin Living Buddha, the garrison governor Mo Qijiacuo, the main iron tower living Buddha of Nagarjuna Temple , Master Wan Naqin Dongzan...

There are more than a dozen people, and the lowest level of cultivation is all six-rank consummation, and there are three fourth-rank masters.

Almost all the top figures in Shunzhou are here.

But in fact, they gathered at the Jiedu Mission's Mansion to discuss matters, not for Luo Ning's affairs.

The topic about Luo Ning was just incidental.

Jie'er, who has always hated Luo Ning the most, said on Gangla Wangdui:

"He killed Chu Wei and others, ransacked his family and wiped out his family, yet he sent someone to report the matter."

"With so much property, he, a little retainer of the princess, can swallow it all by himself."

"Jiedu envoy, this young man from Xia is too presumptuous, he should be punished."

Master Wan Naqin Dongzan shook his head and said: "How to punish? Chu Wei and the others, who insulted the princess, defected and returned to the east, they all deserve to die."

"As for those belongings, he can be said to keep them for the princess. Who else can snatch things from the princess?"

Everyone present looked gloomy, but with Luo Ning's behavior, they couldn't find any charges.

If you say he doesn't follow the rules...the problem is that Tibetans don't like to follow the rules when they do things themselves.

But Luo Ning, a small seventh-rank monk, was so ignorant, which really surprised them.

This young man is very ignorant.

I'm afraid it will die young.

"He is a retainer of the princess, Dorgon's sworn brother, and a great playwright of colorful clouds. He is no longer an ordinary person. Officially, it is not easy to touch him for the time being." Sangbu Yundan said with something in his words.

"However... since you are a wolf cub, you will meet a hunter one day."

What he meant was actually very clear.

What does it mean to be temporarily inactive on the official side?

It's not easy to move officially, but what about secretly?
Things are not peaceful these days.If the city lord of Longcuo accidentally went out and was killed by bandits in the green forest, what would be so strange?
There are many killers who lick blood at the edge of their swords.They might also be jealous of Luo Ning's sudden wealth and do risky things.

Even if the princess and Dorgon really asked about it afterwards, they could only sigh.

Everyone in the room understood what Master Jiedu said without any trace or flaw.

Master Jiangcun Duoji smiled and said, "Too much money is not a good thing for a young man to suddenly become prosperous. The more wealth there is, the more karmic catastrophes will be."

"Speaking of which, I really feel sorry for this talented actor. It's a pity."

When everyone heard the words, they all smiled playfully, each with their own scheming.

"Amitabha!" Fanxin Living Buddha and Iron Tower Living Buddha proclaimed the Buddha's name together, looking calm.

Jiedu Shi stood up, looked at the dark clouds outside the window, and spoke with a heavy tone.

"The Gusa Living Buddha and the Lord of the Corpse Forest have fallen, and we don't know who is the mastermind behind it. This matter is not important now."

"The important thing is... the west."

He turned his head, a worried expression appeared on his angular face.

"I just received the battle report from the royal court, and the west was defeated again! In the battle of Mount Tuya, our army lost 30!"

"But the Tusman army lost less than one hundred thousand."

"The Tusman army's offensive is getting more and more fierce, and half of the Western Regions have been lost."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone's face changed drastically.

Another 30 troops were lost!
Since the war between the two countries, the Great Tubo Kingdom has lost 80 troops.

Buddha!How can it go on like this!

Are the Tusman soldiers so vicious?
"Jiedu Envoy!" Mo Qijia, the governor of Shunzhou, said wrongly, "Xizhen has been defeated again, and our army must be tense. Are we going to draw troops from the East again?"

Everyone's expressions became ugly.

Needless to say?Definitely have to mobilize soldiers from the East again!

Gang Lawangdui said: "Jiedu envoys, you can't let the royal court dispatch troops anymore."

"I am in Shunzhou, which is adjacent to Daxia in the east and Nanzhao in the south. It is an important border area. It is not appropriate not to increase troops. How can I mobilize troops?"

The Jiedu envoy snorted coldly, "Who dares to disobey the imperial edict? Shunzhou is the territory of His Majesty Zanpu, isn't the Western Region?"

"The edict said that the war in the west is tight. This time, another 50 riders will be transferred from the twelve states in the east to the west. Since Shunzhou is on the border, I only need to transfer [-] riders."

Only [-] rides were drawn!Easy to say!
"Jiedu envoys!" The governor of Shunzhou stood up and put his hand on his chest. "I have [-] troops in Shunzhou. I have already dispatched [-] to the west, and now I have to mobilize another [-]!"

"There are only 5 people left, and it is very difficult for us to hold on to the key areas of Shunzhou. What should we do if Shunzhou is lost?"

"Shunzhou can't be lost!" Sangbu Yundan's expression froze, and the aura of consummation of the fourth rank immediately terrified everyone.

"Xia Guo is like a wild boar whose head, tail, and back are bitten. It's hard to get through life in peace. The rebels in Yizhou are getting more and more troublesome. They still have the strength to attack Shunzhou?"

"Don't say that Shunzhou still has [-] armored soldiers, even if there is no soldier, Yizhou Mu will not come! He dare not!"

"Okay, don't talk about it. Mo Qijia made a mistake. You should order troops immediately and send [-] cavalry to aid the west. We missed the royal court's errand, and we can't afford it."

"Lah!" Mo Qijia made a mistake and had to accept orders.

Everyone smiled wryly.

Shunzhou is at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, and there are only [-] soldiers and horses left, which is not very stable.

It's not peaceful here!

There are tens of thousands of forest thieves in the whistling forest alone.

.........

The snow season in Xifan has begun.

After a cold wind, it was snowing all over Tibet.

Fortunately, thanks to the hard work of Qian Sisuan, the relief food was finally brought back before the snow fell.

60 taels of gold were exchanged for more than one million stones of grain.

But Luo Ning only stayed in Longcuo Sanbu for ten days, made some arrangements, stayed in Naixuebu for a few more days, and then went to Qianqiu Mountain three hundred miles away.

Longcuo Sanbu, Naixuebu, and Qianqiu Mountain are connected together, not far from each other.

Luo Ning entered the dense forest, and when he reappeared, he was Yun Fuyao painted with bird patterns and full of monster aura.

Luo Ning didn't feel at ease after not going to Qianqiu Mountain for several months.

He first went to the Meteorite Lake in Panlonggang at the foot of Qianqiu Mountain. There was indeed an ancient demon temple ruins there, and construction of a new demon temple was also started there.

Don't know how the project is progressing.

But when Luo Ning got there and took a look, his expression immediately sank.

Only the foundation has been laid there, and a large pile of stones has been prepared, but the work has long since stopped.

There is no one, and it is very desolate and lonely in the heavy snow.

It seems that the shutdown has been going on for at least a few days.

Luo Ning entered Qianqiu Mountain, but he didn't find the little demon patrolling the mountain for a long time.

what happened?How does Hu Er's supervisory office work?Patrol is so slack!If an enemy sneaks into the mountain, wouldn't they be caught off guard?
Where is Mrs. Centipede's Akiyama Wei?Why can't I see it?

After entering the mountains for another hundred miles, unexpectedly, no demon cultivator was seen, only some birds and beasts could be seen.

what happened? !
The wind was blowing under Luo Ning's feet, and his speed was extremely fast, and he quickly rushed back to Peacock Ridge in Qianqiu Mountain.

But there was no one there, not even a trace of evil spirit.

It's as if all the demon cultivators here have moved away.

Luo Ning was shocked and angry, his face was gloomy and colder than Xue Hua.

"Bai Yuanyuan!"

The fox disciple, Bai Yuanyuan, also disappeared.

Luo Ning entered the silent Demon Lord's Hall, went to the deep underground secret vault, took out the key and opened it, and sure enough, he saw that the treasure vault had been emptied.

"who is it?!"

"This is mine! Who is it?!"

Luo Ning gritted his teeth, his voice echoed in the empty room.

He took a deep breath, sat down, took out the dry pipe, and smoked it.

During this period of time, he went too smoothly, and he was very proud of himself.

Who would have thought that returning to Qianqiu Mountain would give him a blow in the head!
There was a powerful person who captured all the demon cultivators and ransacked Qianqiu Mountain's treasury.

Time... about a month ago.

There are more than 200 demon cultivators in Qianqiu Mountain.

Who has such a great ability to quietly take away more than 200 demon cultivators?
"Since my fucking debut, I have never suffered such a big loss!"

Luo Ning let out a puff of smoke with a cold gaze.

He stood up and searched around the entire Demon Lord Hall, only to find a symbol in Mrs. Spider's boudoir.

This symbol is like a snowflake.

Obviously, this snowflake was left on purpose.

Mrs. Spider is the owner of the police office, also the intelligence leader of Qianqiu Mountain, and she is astute.The imprint of the snowflake she left behind is definitely hinting at herself.

Could it be that the powerful person who captured them had something to do with Xue?

Luo Ning searched again, and found an overturned inkstone in Bai Yuanyuan's boudoir.

The ink on the inkstone has solidified.

But Luo Ning knew that Bai Yuanyuan was not a person who liked to practice calligraphy.

"Mo Xuezong?" Luo Ning suddenly thought of these three words.

wrong.

Luo Ning quickly denied the possibility of Mo Xuezong.

Mo Xuezong is very mysterious, according to a little scattered information, Mo Xuezong's people don't know why, they hardly leave the range of Mo Xueshan.

And Mo Xueshan is thousands of miles away from here, it is impossible to come here to capture so many demon cultivators.

For the aloof Mo Xuezong, it seemed too cheap.

So, what else is related to snow, ink and inkstone?

Why do you want to capture the demon cultivator instead of killing him?
After thinking for a while, Luo Ning gave You Xuan a soul card.

"You, apart from Mo Xuezong, what forces might be related to Xuehua, Mo, and inkstone?"

After a while, Youhan's reply came.

"Young master, as far as I know, there is a power in Xifan called Momei Gambling House, which is seriously underestimated. Are you sure it's snowflakes, not plum blossoms?"

plum bossom?Thinking about it, Luo Ning couldn't help but patted his forehead, "It's not a snowflake, I read it wrong. The symbol left by Mrs. Spider should be a plum blossom!"

"She has a plum hairpin, and she directly uses the symbol of the plum hairpin."

It was snowing heavily right now, and I took the plum blossoms as snowflakes.

"Is there anything weird about Momei Casino?" Luo Ning asked.

You Hao quickly replied: "Momei Casino not only gambles with money and resources, but also with people. If you lose the bet, you will be their slave."

"They have a kind of ability to make people who gamble willing to gamble and admit defeat."

"This is a very evil gambling house. Their headquarters is in Jinguan City, Yizhou. According to the analysis of the Sunflower Mansion, the person behind the Momei gambling house is the King of Shu."

"Once upon a time, they went to the army to gamble, and let a team of thousands who lost the bet obediently leave with them."

"The people who were won by them were either slaves or sold, and most of them disappeared."

"Not only people, but also demons and ghosts. They also gamble. The demons and ghosts that win can also generate benefits..."

"The Momei gambling house in Xifan County is located in Longcuo City! Because Longcuo City was once the largest city in Xifan."

What?Momei Casino is actually in Long Cuo City?

Luo Ning was stunned, and it was almost certain that the demon cultivators of Qianqiu Mountain should have been won by the people from Momei Casino.

Back to Long Wrong City!
