Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 110 The second assistant of the dynasty, Tai Bao Lu Zhong!
Three months passed in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Shunyi, a wonderful young man who had just been admitted to the first prize and was at the stage of making progress in his life, was forced by Xu Chong to live a retirement life ahead of schedule.

Su Ruochen was a little reserved at first, but after a long time, he also came together.

Drinking, playing chess, cheating, bragging, walking, everything.

In this way, there were three idle young people in Zhentian City.

Perhaps it was this kind of leisurely life that dilutes the obsession in Zhang Shunyi's heart, making him faintly feel that it is not far away from breaking through the second level of body washing.

this day.

The three of them sat on the edge of the cliff, looking extremely lazy.

"It has to be Brother Xu."

Zhang Shunyi sighed, "In two more months, I should be able to break through with confidence, and I don't have to be wary of demons anymore."

"Don't be careless."

Xu Chong raised his eyebrows, "If you can avoid future troubles forever, no matter how much time you spend in the body wash, it will be worth it."

"indeed so."

Su Ruochen nodded, "I think, it doesn't matter whether the strength is high or low, isn't it the same? Look at the people accompanying the capital, they are also very powerful, but can they use that strength?"

"You can't say that."

Xu Chong's expression turned serious, "Strength is something you have to have first, and then you have the right to choose not to use it... For example, Jian Zheng, if he wants to kill your father, you don't have the strength, and you don't even have room for mediation. and your father was killed."

"Uh."

Su Ruochen was taken aback for a moment, "The supervisor has enmity with my father? I didn't hear what they said...Is it because of a woman?"

"..."

The corner of Xu Chong's mouth twitched, he turned his head to look at Zhang Shunyi, "If you break through, you have to go back to the capital?"

"Well, my teacher had something to say early in the morning."

Zhang Shunyi nodded, "However, I want to see Master before returning to Beijing."

"Well, indeed."

Xu Chong pondered.

If Zhang Shunyi chooses to break through, it means that the demons are gone, and he can indeed go back to meet Wang Hezhi.

but……

Xu Chong grinned, and said with a malicious smile: "You will be scolded at that time."

"As it should be."

Zhang Shunyi didn't show any repulsion, instead he showed a smile of nostalgia, "Back then, Master valued Brother Xu the most, and he was rarely willing to beat or scold... I'm different."

"Facts have proved that if you want to become a talent, you still have to fight."

Xu Chong laughed and sighed in his heart.

Wang He's heart and soul wanted to teach the top three talents, and most of his thoughts were on Yuan Shen, but in the end it was accomplished by Zhang Shunyi.

Not only achieved, but greatly exceeded.

The title of the three rankings is not a concept at all with Sanyuan Jidi.

Throughout the history of Daqing, there are less than [-] people who have achieved this, and it is no wonder that Zhang Shunyi's "mentor" is so nervous.

Thinking of this, Xu Chong asked curiously: "Speaking of which, who is your benefactor?"

"What's the teacher's name... Lu Zhong?"

Zhang Shunyi didn't hide anything, but he said the word "Lv Zhong" very quietly.

Although the voice was low, the lowest ones present here were all meridian warriors, who seemed to be deceiving their ears.

Su Ruochen exclaimed directly: "Lv Zhong, the second assistant of the court, one of the three princes?"

"Exactly."

Zhang Shunyi touched his nose.

He is very open when bragging, but telling the truth makes him feel cheeky instead.

"its not right."

Xu Chong frowned, "Dangtang Cifu, how could it be possible to be the chief examiner in the rural examination."

"Brother Xu misunderstood."

Zhang Shunyi opened his mouth to explain, "Young Brother Yu's teacher in the township examination is an imperial servant. Not long after I entered Beijing, he recommended me to Master Lu, and then..."

"Then you were put into the door wall by the second assistant?"

Xu Chong was a little speechless, "Your luck...is no one else."

In fact, if you really want to count, the first half of Zhang Shunyi's life was really smooth.

Although his background is not very good, he has hardly suffered any crimes, and after the provincial examination, he jumped several grades, and he can be regarded as a child of luck.

"It's no better than Brother Xu's legacy of the Great Ancestor."

Zhang Shunyi winked.

"No no no."

Xu Chong raised his chin, "Being able to know me, the legacy of the Taizu, shows that your fortune is prosperous."

"If you don't agree with each other, blow it up..."

Su Ruochen was a little speechless.

In the past three months, he has seen what it means to be a real braggart.

I brag about it, and it turns out to be "Zheng Bapin", "Suppressing Tiancheng Dijieer", and "Slightly Thin Noodles".

Fortunately, Xu Chong, relying on the legacy of the Taizu, has already played tricks... and the fact that it turns out that it is really not a bragging.

Liubu Shangshu really wanted to drink with him, his father really lost in chess games with him, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was really caught listening to the corner several times... and so on and so on.

Anyway, Su Ruochen now understands, what is the highest level of bragging?
It's not about bragging to make people believe, but making the bragging become a fact!
For example, the sentence just now, 'Knowing the legacy of my great ancestor, is enough to show that your luck is prosperous'.

Su Ruochen read a high degree of approval from Zhang Shunyi's face.

"indeed so."

Zhang Shunyi nodded seriously, "To tell you the truth, before leaving Beijing, my mentor specifically asked me to keep in touch with Brother Xu."

"Oh?"

Xu Chong became interested, "Master Lu also mentioned me, what did he say?"

Just as Zhang Shunyi was about to answer, Su Ruochen tugged at his sleeve.

"Your master is here."

Su Ruochen pointed to the mountain road below.

"Impossible, my mentor is far away in the capital, Brother Su wants to lie to me, this skill still needs more..."

Zhang Shunyi shook his head with a smile, and froze there before he finished speaking.

On the winding mountain road, a huge queue is coming up the mountain.

Leading officials holding red flags, musicians playing music to guide the way, honor guards holding halberds and banners, and golden-armored pagodas accompanying them as guards.

If it's just these things, it might not explain much, but the jade plaque held by the guard of honor is clearly written to represent the identity.

'Caibao', 'Wenyuange University Bachelor', 'Minister of Industry'...

Although they were separated a little far away, these words still entered the eyes of the three of them.

"You didn't play truant, did you?"

Xu Chong's tone was full of suspicion.

"How old am I..."

Zhang Shunyi was speechless, got up and walked down the official road.

Xu Chong didn't move, neither did Su Ruochen.

The two watched as Zhang Shunyi joined the team halfway up the mountain, and then came up the mountain together.

It wasn't until they were approaching that they got up and waited.

Not long after, the team stopped at the square outside the city gate, and some officials came out to beat horses to the city gate.

And Zhang Shunyi came here with a tall and thin man.

"Hahahaha, I have heard for a long time that the Taizu's legacy is the favorite of the heavens, and seeing it today is really extraordinary."

Still a little distance away, the tall and thin man began to smile and clasped his fists, "Old Lu Zhong, I have seen Xu Yimai."

Xu Yimai... what kind of nickname is this? !
Xu Chong cupped his fists dumbfoundingly: "Xu Chong, my subordinate, I have met Master Cifu."

"Brother Xu, Brother Yu didn't lie to you, did he?"

Zhang Shunyi blinked at Xu Chong, "My teacher values ​​Brother Xu very much."

"I'm really ashamed..."

Xu Chong waved his hands modestly, a little curious: "Xiaguan Guan Cifu is in his prime, why..."

"Why do you call yourself old?"

Lu Zhong smiled, "To tell you the truth, the old man's side art has a little effect on his face, despite his appearance, he is actually eighty years old."

Standing face?

Is this something an old man should learn?

Xu Chong was speechless for a while.

"Just now, the villain has already talked to the old man, and I have to thank my little friend for helping me."

Lu Zhong bowed his hand again.

"Your Excellency Cifu speaks seriously. Shunyi is my classmate from the same hometown and also a junior. It is my duty to help each other."

Xu Chong waved his hands again and again, and asked: "Master Cifu came here for this matter?"

"Exactly."

Lu Zhong nodded, and cast a dissatisfied glance at Zhang Shunyi, "There is no letter in Sanyue, and I thought he was dying, so I hurriedly arrested someone and ran over..."

"Caught someone?!"

"Caught someone?!"

Xu Chong and Zhang Shunyi were surprised at the same time.

People were arrested for Zhang Shunyi, who was arrested, do I need to ask?
It can only be Old Master Wang, the king of cranes!
"Don't be in a hurry, the old man will naturally not aimlessly."

Lu Zhong swung his sleeves, "Why don't we go into the city together, and I'll talk to you two in detail."

Xu Chong and Zhang Shunyi looked at each other, and boarded the luxurious and spacious carriage with a heavy heart.

Before the officials accompanying the capital greeted them out of the city, the team drove in slowly.

In the carriage, three people sat around.

Lu Zhong was the first to speak: "You guessed it right, the old man did arrest the county magistrate of Canglong County."

"Teacher!"

Zhang Shunyi immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the ground: "Although Wang Hezhi is suspected of being involved in my father's death, there is no evidence after all, and the student's demons will be released soon..."

"Hey...you get up first and listen to me."

Lu Zhong sighed, helped Zhang Shunyi up, and said slowly.

It turned out that although Lu Zhong had always been worried about Zhang Shunyi, he had no intention of breaking his lover's heart.

But two months ago, something happened by accident.

The imperial court recruited a rebel from Taipingdao.

This traitor is named Xie Changqing.

That's right, it was Xie Changqing, the youngest of one of the six major families of Taiping Road, the Xie family!

"In order to gain the attention of the imperial court, Xie Changqing confessed a lot of news about Taipingdao."

"Most of these news have been confirmed."

"Even, the imperial court wiped out the branch of Taiping Road in Yuzhou based on this."

Lu Zhong said calmly, "Among the information Xie Changqing provided, one is about water ghosts."

Water ghost? !
Xu Chong was startled suddenly.

Zhang Shunyi was puzzled, and asked, "Isn't the water ghost Zhou Ze? What does it have to do with Wang Hezhi?"

"Because the water ghost is Wang Hezhi!"

Lu Zhongyu was startled.

"impossible!"

Xu Chong said, "When I was in Canglong, I checked many reward orders, among which there was a water ghost. No matter the height or appearance of the three portraits, none of them could be changed by the master."

"Is this what you're talking about?"

Lu Zhong flipped his hand and took out a reward order, "Indeed, the bone shrinkage in Tongmai state can't change the height gap to such a large size."

"but……"

"Water ghosts are not in the meridian state, nor are they changing their appearance by shrinking their bones and changing their shape!"

It's not the Tongmai Realm, I know...

Isn't it a makeover by shrinking the bones and changing the shape?
What do you mean?
Xu Chong's heart was ups and downs, and there was a lot of confusion in his eyes.

"As early as 20 years ago, the water ghost was the leader of Zhang Huafu's dark son."

Lu Zhong continued, "15 years ago, Xie Changqing's younger brother died suddenly. The Xie family was furious and used a lot of power to find the murderer."

"Later, when Canglong County was about to be investigated, the staff suddenly lost contact."

"The Xie family sent out people again and again, but the result was the same. As soon as they entered Canglong, they immediately lost contact."

"Among them, there are many masters who have washed their bodies."

"You know, the warriors in the cleansing state, no matter whether they are placed in the court or on the Taiping Road, are the existence of suppressing a province."

"The strength of the upper management of Xie's family has been greatly damaged, and the upper management can't move lightly. They have no choice but to postpone the matter, and finally let it go."

"But Xie Changqing himself did not give up. He has been investigating secretly. After two years of investigation, he finally suspected the water ghost."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhong shook his head with emotion, "This Xie Changqing is really not an ordinary person, he is ruthless enough, patient enough, and smart enough."

"At that time, no matter whether it was inside the Taiping Dao or the court, the intelligence of the water ghost was only one or two times."

"Xie Changqing directly overturned this point, analyzed layer by layer, and finally came to a conclusion."

"The water ghost is not to open the meridians at all, but to wash the body!"

"As for why it was not discovered by Taipingdao when it was unblocked, it was because of a treasure."

Lu Zhong slowly spit out three words: "Wuxiangyi."

"No phase clothes?"

Zhang Shunyi became more and more puzzled: "I've heard of this, but... isn't it in the hands of the rebel from Taipingdao? It seems to be called Wei Wuxie, and it should have disappeared with Wei Wuxie now." .”

"There is not only one piece of Wuxiang clothing."

Lu Zhong stretched out his right hand. "He also has a name—Huan Zhen Tian Fragment."

In the palm of his hand, there is a square jade tablet that is half the size of a palm.
