Chapter 269: Bad Girl

Chapter 269: Bad Girl
Chu Zhongcheng was wearing a crimson round-collar robe, sitting in a green-covered car, looking at Wuling Village not far away with lights and colorful gongs and drums, his expression indifferent.

On both sides of the green-covered carriage, stood the enchanting Rou Zhaojun wearing a curtain hat, and the young-looking Jun Chongguang playing with an iron ruler. Behind him were dozens of embroidered messengers, all of whom were ready. The posture is incompatible with the festive atmosphere.

A moment later, an embroidered messenger came from the direction of Wulingzhuang. He cupped his hands and said, "It has been confirmed. Lord Shangzhang and Lord Zhaoyang are both attending the banquet in the village."

Chu Zhongcheng played with a jade pendant in his hand and said calmly: "Go and tell them that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has important arrangements and they need to meet in person."

"Yes."

After the embroidered messenger left, Lord Chongguang snorted coldly and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Chu Zhongcheng is too cautious. He can just go in and give orders. Why send someone to send a message?"

Chu Zhongcheng knew that Lord Chongguang had an eccentric temperament, so he said: "The purpose of Lord Zhaoyang is still unclear. It is not appropriate to make a big fight at the moment. We will ask more details after we meet."

A moment later, Zhang Fan hurriedly arrived, saw him and said with great awe: "Jun Zhaoyang has learned about it, please kindly ask Chu Zhongcheng to move to the villa."

"Lead the way." Chu Zhongcheng stepped off the green-covered carriage and led a group of people behind him, entering through the side door of Wulingzhuang and arriving at a quiet courtyard.

But it was not Cheng Sanwu who was waiting here, but Afu. She and Chu Zhongcheng were old acquaintances, so it was up to her to test out the other party's intentions first.

"Shang Zhangjun, I haven't seen you for a long time. I wonder how you have been lately?" Chu Zhongcheng sat upright, while a group of messengers in embroidered clothes were on guard outside the house.

"Good or bad, just busy investigating the remnants of the rebels." A Fu glanced at Rou Zhaojun and Chongguang Jun next to him, his face expressionless.

Chu Zhongcheng did not exchange any more greetings and said straight to the point: "I wonder where Mr. Zhaoyang is?"

"He was still celebrating and toasting at the wedding banquet, shouting and yelling." Afu smiled faintly: "I don't like those noisy occasions, so I just went out to hide and be quiet."

Chu Zhongcheng responded calmly, without any urgency, but Chongguang Jun on the side could not hold back and immediately said: "Who does he think he is? We came to inquire in person, but he dared to ignore it and only cared about his own happiness. ?”

Afu was too lazy to fuss with this little devil, and was busy playing with the tea set, and said casually: "Jun Zhaoyang has this kind of temperament. If he is in high spirits, even if he is summoned by a saint, he will probably turn a deaf ear."

This sounds arrogant, but for Gongchenwei Shi Taisui, how many people are truly loyal to the saint?It's nothing more than relying on the power of the court to seek benefits for oneself.

"Then let's wait for a moment." Chu Zhongcheng was not angry. As a figure second only to Eunuch Feng in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he naturally knew that Gongchenwei's ten Taisui were a group of monsters. If he pretended to show off his power in front of them, Status will only attract resentment.

"Since Chu Zhongcheng came from Chang'an, he must know how the saint dealt with the demonic words in Ziyun Cave that confused the public." Afu offered a bowl of tea.

"The sage was very angry, thinking that in today's world, there are demons and evil ways who pretend to be true, do evil things, and corrupt the true style of Taoism." Chu Zhongcheng smiled slightly and said: "In order to clarify the true and profound principles, the sage plans to personally inscribe the Taoist scriptures , as a guideline and discipline for the future."

Afu held the tea bowl and lowered her head to smell it, smiling without saying a word. Although today's saints yearn for immortality, they also take the power in their hands very seriously.To him, a Taoist priest is not necessarily a teacher who cultivates immortality and learns Taoism, but is probably closer to a minister who is happy and sycophant.

Like Mr. Daguan, anyone who hopes to make a difference by relying on a few volumes of military books is doomed to be ineffective.Ziyundong fabricated prophecies and evil words to confuse the public, and participated in the rebellion, which greatly touched Ni Lin. As a result, the saint's tolerance and preferential treatment of the Taoist sect was no longer the past.

Although Afu lived in a Taoist sect after arriving in the Central Plains and studied Taoism for a long time, she had no interest in the rhetoric of saving the world and saving people. The various Taoist sects that were causing chaos once again put her in a disadvantageous situation.

In her opinion, Taoists just need to take care of themselves, but if they want to follow the Confucian way of caring about heaven and earth, aren't they asking for trouble?

Seeing Mr. Chongguang poking the ground impatiently with his iron ruler, Afu smiled and asked, "I wonder why Chu Zhongcheng came to Mr. Zhaoyang? If the matter is urgent, I will send people to urge him a few more times."

"It's not an urgent matter." Chu Zhongcheng smiled and said: "There have been some sneaky disturbances in Xiaoxiang recently, and we need Lord Zhaoyang's help."

"Xiaoxiang?" Afu frowned, glanced at Rou Zhaojun and Chongguang Jun, and asked, "What's so sneaky that three of the ten Taisui need to act together?"

"As far as we know so far, he should be a ghost king who has been practicing for thousands of years." Chu Zhongcheng explained: "This ghost king has been fed by incense, fire and blood for a long time in the land of Xiaoxiang, and his magic power is profound. He just needs a person with a strong and yang body." People need to exercise restraint. After much thought, Zhaoyang-Jun is the most suitable person."

"The Millennium Ghost King?" Afu was a little curious. When she first came to the Central Plains, there was a war and corpses piled up like mountains. Therefore, ghosts often appeared in the countryside.When she and other vampires were wandering and hunting at night, they also saw thousands of ghosts surrounding the ghost king.

It is said that such powerful ghosts were either noble in life and had extraordinary bones. Even if the corpse is buried in the ground, it can be transformed by the energy of heaven and earth, just like the underground master of the Taoist corpse.Or he was unwilling and resentful after death. Accompanied by the wars and wars in the world, the grievances grew stronger and stronger. By chance, they gathered together and finally gave birth to a ghost king.

However, such powerful ghosts are often the first targets of Buddhist and Taoist masters. Whether they are killed for meritorious deeds or subdued intentionally for their own use, after hundreds of years of conquest, there are few ghost kings in today's world. Especially Jiangnan, a place where Buddhism and Taoism flourished.

But Xiaoxiang is not like Jiangnan, where the chiefs and barbarians are entrenched. The thieves rely on the danger and rebel often, and the court also controls them.Those Jingchu barbarians believe deeply in ghosts and gods, and have strong witchcraft practices. It is not surprising that there is a thousand-year ghost king.

However, according to Afu's understanding of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if it were not for the evil spirits that were of great concern, even if they harmed one party, Eunuch Feng and the others would not necessarily take the initiative to send Gongchenwei Shi Taisui to deal with it.

As for Chu Zhongcheng, he brought Lord Rou Zhao and Lord Chongguang this time, more like a gesture to ensure that Cheng Sanwu was taken away.

"Hey, isn't that guy here yet?" Shigeguang-kun has already poked several holes in the soft straw mat on the ground, and his legs and feet are shaking, as if he is looking for a fight at any time.

"I'm coming."

At this time, he saw Cheng Sanwu staggeringly pushing the door open, smelling of alcohol, and said: "Damn, what a lovely wedding banquet, I'm drinking so much! I have to come to work at this time, why don't you let me live?" Already?"

Chu Zhongcheng put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "It is wrong to disturb Jun Zhaoyang's elegant mood. But as the saying goes, those who are capable work hard, and heroes like Jun Zhaoyang will naturally be busy running around."

Cheng Sanwu sat down casually, rubbed his temples and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?" "Recently, a ghost king has been causing trouble in Xiaoxiang, causing serious troubles. I would like to ask Lord Zhaoyang to take action to deal with it." Chu Zhongcheng said.

"Oh? Aren't you here to ask me why I beat Ambassador Lin Xuan in public?" Cheng Sanwu suddenly asked.

Chu Zhongcheng looked as if nothing had happened and just said: "Mr. Zhaoyang is overthinking. On the way to suppress the rebellion, envoy Lin Xuan underestimated the enemy and rushed in, killed civilians, and looted. His crimes are conclusive. They have been submitted to the imperial review and are waiting for the Holy Judgment." Yang Jun beat up Lin Xuanfu in public because he couldn't bear the humiliation and did it out of anger. Naturally, he should not be held accountable, otherwise who would be willing to act honestly in the future?"

This nonsense made Cheng Sanwu sober up for a while, but he just sat there and laughed a few times, with no clear intention.

On the side, Afu also laughed secretly. The soldiers sent by the imperial court to suppress the rebellion had always committed acts of looting and indiscriminate killing.Lin Xuanfu was ordered to counter the rebellion this time in order to eliminate the rebel party as soon as possible and suppress the chaos.It is not surprising that some civilians were killed or injured in the process, and the crimes could be serious or minor.

But the Ministry of Internal Affairs still chose to excuse Cheng Sanwu, which was enough to confirm his previous suspicion that Yan Fengjun had probably determined the relationship between Cheng Sanwu and Taotie and wanted to use him to deal with Fu Shifeng, so he could not be punished at the moment.

"Xiaoxiang... I'm not familiar with that place." Cheng Sanwu stretched.

Chu Zhongcheng motioned to the enchanting woman beside him: "Rou Zhaojun is from Jingchu. He traveled to Xiaoxiang in his early years and is familiar with the local customs and customs there. She will lead this time."

Cheng Sanwu looked at Rou Zhaojun, who was sitting with her knees bent. Although she was tightly dressed and did not reveal much skin, the fabric of her clothes outlined her plump and plump figure, which had a unique charm that made people move their index fingers.

According to Afu, Mr. Rouzhao is an inhuman monster, and even she does not dare to underestimate him.But Cheng Sanwu made no secret of his greedy eyes. If there was no one else at the moment, he would overwhelm Rou Zhaojun and strip him naked like a hungry tiger pouncing on a sheep.

"What about him?" Cheng Sanwu looked at him for a long time, then glanced at Chongguang Jun.

Before Chu Zhongcheng could speak, the young man who looked like he had not yet been crowned picked up two iron rulers and said: "My name is Wu Huaixin. I have long heard that you killed Fan Zhongming and replaced Lord Zhaoyang. I have always wanted to Let’s compete with you. Today is just an opportunity, let’s compete now!”

When Cheng Sanwu heard this, his eyes flashed fiercely, and a murderous aura burst out from his whole body. The flames in the charcoal stove beside Afu burst out, as if in response to this murderous aura.

Mr. Chongguang showed no intention of giving in. The two iron rulers rubbed against each other, making a dull sound.

Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, Chu Zhongcheng hurriedly spoke: "This is the first time you two meet, please be patient. Even if we have to fight, it's not now."

"I think it's good now." Shigeguang-kun's face was full of anger, looking like a bad boy who had not been disciplined since he was a child.

"If you really want to take action, I will chop you into [-] or [-] pieces. I advise you to think carefully before speaking." Cheng Sanwu was not polite.

Chu Zhongcheng said: "Jun Zhaoyang is drunk, and it is difficult to exert all his skills. If everyone does not do their best, it will be difficult to enjoy the martial arts competition. How about waiting for each other to recharge their batteries and then compete again?"

Chongguang Jun still wanted to ask for a fight, but Rou Zhaojun, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "Little Chongguang, you have to be good and don't cause trouble."

Rou Zhaojun's voice was lazy and charming, and it sounded extremely pleasant to the ear. It was as if someone was using feathers to tease his heart. Even the inhumane Chu Zhongcheng felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

After hearing the dissuasion, Mr. Chongguang just grunted, swung his hands, put the iron ruler back into his waist, and sat down again as if he was sulking.

Rou Zhaojun seems to be docile and quiet, and has no appearance, but with just one word, he can make the violent and aggressive Shigeguang Lord obey, which shows that this beautiful woman is unpredictable.

"Although it's a lot of work, it's not too bad to be traveling with such a beautiful woman." Cheng Sanwu looked at Rou Zhaojun with an obscene expression on his face, as if he was planning how to play with this graceful body. body.

Hearing such explicit words, Rou Zhaojun was not angry, and just nodded slightly towards Cheng Sanwu, like the kind of boudoir woman who was familiar with etiquette, without any words or deeds that were out of line.

Chu Zhongcheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The ten Taisuis were a group of extremely vicious people, and their moods and anger were unpredictable.Once a dispute breaks out, they not only fight each other, but even form an intractable hatred.Although this is the Ministry of Internal Affairs' policy, it is best not to start a fight in front of him.

"Since Mr. Zhaoyang came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he has repeatedly performed outstanding achievements, and we respect him very much." Chu Zhongcheng quickly comforted him: "Eunuch Feng said that if Mr. Zhaoyang has any requests, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will try his best to satisfy them."

"Oh? Eunuch Feng is quite generous." Cheng Sanwu raised his thumb and shook it, then pondered for a moment: "In that case, can the Ministry of Internal Affairs get me a Baiqiao Nazhen elixir?"

Chu Zhongcheng frowned slightly when he heard this and asked, "I have never heard of the name of this elixir. I wonder what Lord Zhaoyang wants to do here?"

"Of course it was eaten in the stomach. Could it be that it was thrown away as a projectile? If you don't know, then go find someone who knows."

Cheng Sanwu’s condition was also thanks to Afu’s prior reminder.During these days, the two of them practiced together, and she found that Cheng Sanwu's breakthrough to the innate realm was far more troublesome than hers.

If the process of breaking through the innate realm is like filling an urn with water in the hope that it will overflow and break through the limitations of the container, then Cheng Sanwu's "container" is simply too big to be boundless, and his accumulated skill can hardly reach the limit of his body.

In terms of strength alone, Cheng Sanwu can already compete with innate masters like Gu Lianshan, but as long as he has not broken through the innate realm and the barriers between the inside and outside of the body are still there, there will always be a slight difference.Cheng Sanwu's defeat to Gu Lianshan was due to lack of energy and he was at a disadvantage in the long confrontation.

And Afu recently remembered that there was a magical elixir in the Taoist sect. Taking it can make all the body's orifices absorb the essence of heaven and earth. Supplemented by the profound Yuan Gong adjustment and Xuan Mizhu vitality, it may be able to help Cheng Sanwu break the internal and external barriers, and in one fell swoop Entering the realm of innateness.

However, it is difficult to find the true elixir of Bai Qiao Na in the world, and it is even more extravagant for ordinary cultivators to refine it. Unless they rely on the power of the court and spare no effort in collecting medicines and testing heat, they can refine this elixir.

According to Afu, no matter what Eunuch Feng and Yan Fengjun think, Cheng Sanwu is still useful to them.In this case, you might as well make the request directly and let them spend their time preparing for the alchemy.

"In this case, I will make arrangements immediately and ask someone to search the Alchemy Book and Taoist Scriptures. After finding out the elixir recipe, I will summon experts in the alchemy cauldron to refine it for Lord Zhaoyang. It may take a while." Chu Zhongcheng was very happy. He agreed: "As for the Xiaoxiang Ghost King, I also hope that Lord Zhaoyang will pay more attention to it and set off as soon as possible."
