It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 84: Heaven-defying formation, the entrance to the ruins of the previous dynasty
In a blink of an eye, seven days have passed.

Today's Linge City is particularly lively. At dawn, a large fleet of vehicles has gathered at the North City Gate. Each vehicle is made of black iron and has rows of iron cables on it.

Just by looking at it from a distance, you can feel the majesty of the imperial court.

On both sides of the motorcade, two teams of guards stood ready.

After all, what was being escorted this time was Qi-training pills worth several hundred thousand taels. Not only were they valuable, they were also important strategic materials. No one dared to treat them lightly.

The two teams of guards, a total of 14 people, are at least strong in the physical realm, and the captain of the guard is a master of the second level of Shenzang.

Their mission is to escort the Qi Training Pills to Beisan County and guard them until all the Qi Training Pills are distributed.

"Good guy! This is the specification for armed escort!"

Zhao Ci couldn't help feeling a little emotional. In fact, to be honest, this was more cruel than the armed escort in his previous life.

Because after the cultivator condenses the physical divine patterns, the physical strength will be qualitatively improved. When the divine patterns are fully opened, it is enough to compete with the firearms in the previous life.

In particular, these are all carefully selected royal guards, and their physical bodies are far superior to those of ordinary strong men in the physical realm.

And Zhao Ci knew it.

This time it was a task for the government to fight, and there must be a Lao Liu from the clan house hiding in the dark to deal with the broken peace jade.

And this master of the sect's mansion is at least the third or fourth level of the divine treasure. With the physical divine treasure and the two major divine treasures all opened up, his combat power can be described as terrifying.

"It's like this, no one will do anything to me, right?"

Zhao Ci rubbed the warm jade on his chest, wondering why Gu Xiangzhu was so nervous.

This warm jade feels cooler than when I first touched it.

It's all because of my small chest muscles that I can't wrap them up like Gu Xiangzhu.

Bah!
Witch, stop messing with my mind.

Zhao Ci shook his head violently to get that charming scene out of his head, thinking that he must not let down his guard, otherwise he would really turn into a puppy if he fell into that woman's spell.

I have to say, this girl's appearance and temperament are really top-notch.

In the past few days, he just went to cook and chat, and he felt like he was obsessed with lust.

You must know that he is an old pervert who has been trained by countless dirty pictures in the world of information explosion.

This is a bit overwhelming.

It can be seen how terrifying it is.

"Zhao Ci, what are you laughing at?"

"Ah? Yes?"

"Stop pretending!"

Feng Kucha sneered: "When I went to the Demon Slayer Division to rent a banshee, you were the only one who looked so sloppy. As for you, you can make a quick decision this time. The government examination only lasts a few days, so we have to quickly give Wan Mugen Redeem it.

You don’t know how uncomfortable my life is these days when I don’t have money to rent Banshee.

I have to break through quickly!
If you don’t have money to rent a banshee, you have to catch it yourself! "

Zhao Ci: "..."

He suddenly felt that Feng Kucha was quite inspiring.

Take care of your own affairs.

Reliable!

"What are you talking about?"

Zhu Li ran out of the city gate at a trot and looked at the two of them curiously.

Zhao Ci quickly said seriously: "We are discussing what men should do, so don't ask any more questions."

Zhu Li was a little dissatisfied: "I can do things that men can do. Do you look down on me?"

Zhao Ci asked back: "I can pee standing up, can you?"

Zhu Li: "???"

at this time.

Suddenly a voice sounded from behind.

"Old Shi, are you here early?"

The voice was somewhat familiar, and there was a tiredness that was pretending to be energetic.

Zhao Ci turned around and looked.

I found Zhao Yongzheng riding a handsome white horse, accompanied by a group of officials from the Nine Princes' Palace.

Dressed up very energetically.

There was just a trace of unconcealable exhaustion in his eyes.

But it's quite polite.

In the public, Zhao Ci didn't want to argue with them, so he smiled and cupped his hands: "Brother Nine Emperors are joking, I am the envoy who will give elixirs on behalf of the emperor this time, so of course I have to come earlier."

Zhao Yong: "..."

You mean I am the deputy envoy.

He didn't want to talk to Zhao Ci. He felt like this man couldn't speak without quarreling with others.

Zhu Yan, on the other hand, looked at Zhu Li and said in a cold voice: "Little Zhu Li, why haven't you returned to Zhu's house these days? Are you afraid to go back?"

Since the Gongdan Conference, Zhu Li's status in the Zhu family has deteriorated again.

Mainly, this person really ruined the rhythm of the government struggle. Even Zhu Gong, the leader of the Zhu family's Linge, suffered a lot of criticism for letting Zhu Li leave.

Not to mention the relationship between the younger generation and Zhu Li. Just after the Gongdan Conference, they were stepped on and humiliated by Zhu Li.

These days, everyone is looking forward to Zhu Li returning home, but she has never replied even once, as if her surname is not Zhu.

"What are you doing at home?"

Zhu Li snorted and held Zhao Ci's arm: "My highness said that I won't be allowed to play with rookies. Look at your white lips. It only took a thousand pills to make them like this for you. I'm afraid of being You are infected and it affects the production capacity of our Xingyu Danhui."

Zhu Yan: "???"

Look at his face as if he has eaten daddy.

Zhu Li's mood suddenly felt much better. She now felt more and more that her boss was a good one and that she had a lot to learn.

Especially this mouth.

When you have time, discuss your verbal skills with him more often.

Zhao Yong shook his head, not wanting to tangle with these hob meat anymore: "Old Shi, now that everyone is here, let's get ready to set off!"

After that, he immediately mounted his horse and rushed towards the front of the convoy.

Zhao Ci looked back and found that none of the officials in the Nine Princes' Mansion were riding horses. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Brother Zhuge, aren't you going together?"

Zhuge Xiao was sitting in a wheelchair, smiling lightly and waving the feather fan in his hand. But the weather was cold and the wind from the fan was a bit cold, so he tightened his collar again.

He pointed to the wheelchair under him: "If you have difficulty moving, don't bother your two highnesses."

Zhao Yong turned around and said: "It's just to escort the pills, and there are so many masters to protect you. Have you done too many bad things, Lao Shi? Why do you feel so insecure?"

Zhao Ci's face was stern: "During the mission, please call me Sir Envoy!"

Zhao Yong: "..."

Zhao Ci did not delay. Seeing that the sky was almost dark, he came directly to the front of the motorcade, briefly said goodbye to the people seeing him off, and then ordered to set off.

The fleet starts.

The cargo is not heavy.

But the compartment that protects the cargo is heavy.

It left quite a few ruts on the official road.

The journey is vast and mighty, and looks quite oppressive.

Zhao Ci looked at Zhao Yong thoughtfully, always feeling that there was something wrong with what he just said. What does it mean that I don't feel safe?
Everyone speaks logically.

But Zhao Ci didn't fully understand Zhao Yong's logic.

Therefore, it is very possible that I don’t know this.

Just looking at Zhao Yong's head, there are no subtitles at all.

Zhao Ci thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Brother Jiuhuang, do you think there will be any accidents when we go to Beisan County this time?"

really.

A subtitle suddenly popped up.

[Zhao Yong’s current wish]: I hope they can succeed.Reward for wish fulfillment: Comprehension value +100, plus or minus 1 talisman.

fog grass.

I want this charm!

What honorable man can resist this talisman?

But who are they?
What do you want to achieve?

This Gouji Bayongzi didn't speak in a straight tone.

Zhao Yong's expression tightened for a moment, then returned to normal, and he said calmly: "Although the security in Beisan County is chaotic, no one dares to touch the imperial troops. Don't worry, Old Ten, as long as you don't do anything outrageous behind your back, There shouldn't be any big problems." How much resentment?

Zhao Ci breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'm relieved! But in this case, Brother Jiuhuang, you have to be more careful. The gentleman is so gentle, but the villain is hiding so much. You hide a lot from me, brother!" "

Zhao Yong: "..."

He snorted and stopped talking.

……

It takes about two and a half days to travel from Linge to Beisan County.

There was a rest house in the middle, and the journey was smooth sailing. None of the thrilling stories about dart walking happened.

Don't blame those thieves for being too cowardly.

After all, this is the royal bodyguard, not to mention whether there are forces with the strength to rob the bodyguard.

Even if it is true, even if it is really robbed, so what?
Being targeted by the court.

Don't say that the brothers in the cottage won't survive.

Even the earthworms in the village had to be split open vertically.

Zhao Ci was a little disappointed. He really wanted to find a chance to fight.

I don't know whether it was the potential violence factor in himself that was stimulated, or the potential influence brought about by the shaping of the demon body.

Therefore, he was disappointed that no thieves jumped out to practice with him.

In the past few days, Zhao Ci had tried countless times to secretly instigate Zhao Yong to take action. However, this guy was extremely calm. No matter how he acted in front of him, he could remain calm.

Just being able to bear not to fight, it seems that after suffering several losses in the past, his mentality has changed again.

of course.

The journey has not been entirely smooth.

The only trouble came from him.

The main reason was that the 350-pound spear was a bit heavy and the pony could not bear it, so I stopped and stopped along the way, which wasted a lot of time.

However, it's just that the rest time in the post house has become shorter. Overall, I can still arrive on time.

On the morning of the third day, the convoy had entered the area of ​​Beisan County.

then.

Zhao Ci felt something was wrong.

Although Linge is located in the south, it is not an environment with many forests and miasma like southern Yunnan. But here... the sun is already rising, but the miasma has still not dissipated.

The land here is darker, but not the fertile black of black soil.

Instead, it seemed like the sewage was discharged directly into the ground.

Now is the autumn harvest season, and crops in other places have already been harvested.

The crops here are still hanging on in the fields, and the ears of grain look extremely thin, dry and numb, not plump at all, and the color is much darker than normal grains.

"The situation here seems to be much worse than imagined!"

Zhao Ci frowned slightly and observed the passers-by from time to time. Most of them were sallow and thin, with varying degrees of blackening, and their bodies were full of signs of chronic poisoning.

When they saw the convoy, they instinctively wanted to come over and take a look, but they were driven away by the fat and muscular officials.

I can only look this way cautiously.

This……

Zhao Ci didn't know how to evaluate it. A few days ago, Kan Luotang asked Zhu Li to send her a booklet, which contained what she had seen and heard in Beisan County in the past. It was recorded in more detail than many materials.

It is rumored that the original intention of establishing Beisan County was to suppress the exit of a former dynasty relic called Five Elements Prison.

Like other relics of previous dynasties, there are many treasures in the Five Elements Prison, but there are also many dangers.

The entire ruins are so wild and untamable that not even the imperial court can conquer them.

There are many entrances and exits to the Five Elements Prison, but they are extremely unstable, making it difficult for anyone to track their whereabouts.

And every time an entrance or exit appears, part of the prison's poison will be leaked, causing disaster for one party.

Later, a strange man took action and designed a sky-reaching formation. The three counties and cities were just raised from the ground. Using the people of the three cities as the base of the formation, he forcibly locked the largest entrance and exit to the north of Linge.

Since then, although the exact location of the entrance to the ruins has still not been determined.

But it can already be firmly locked within the scope of Beisan County.

In order to ensure the stability of the formation, Beisan County must keep its population above the red line. Anyone whose household registration is in Beisan County will find it difficult to move out.

The poisonous disease is raging, so the people's cultivation qualifications in Beisan County are naturally not much better. It is basically difficult to cultivate masters in the local area.

The officials in Beisan County were all transferred from outside by the imperial court and were paid well. Many of them had unsatisfactory futures. Those who wanted resources and a way out for their children would choose Beisan County. However, coming here was a kind of self-sacrifice in their hearts. There was a sense of hostility.

So... the relationship between the government and the people here is very delicate.

"hiss……"

Zhao Ci had a toothache and felt that it might not be as easy as he thought if he wanted to deliver the elixir safely to the person he wanted to give it to.

The convoy moved forward and soon entered the city of Qingyang County, the head of the three northern counties.

The Qingyang County Sheriff had been waiting for him for a long time, and immediately asked his subordinates to lead the convoy to the county armory to unload the goods.

He enthusiastically invited the two princes into the governor's mansion.

The most capable officials from Qingyang County, as well as officials sent from the other two counties, were all present.

"The two highnesses are so kind and righteous that they actually invited thousands of Qi Training Pills for the people of Beisan County. I really admire you in my heart!"

Zhang De, the governor of Qingyang County, was so moved that he said, "Qingyang County relies entirely on the imperial court to arrange all its supplies. It cannot be said to be rich. This dust-cleansing banquet is a bit shabby. Please don't take offense to it, your two highnesses."

Zhao Ci glanced at it and saw that it was all big fish and meat, even better than Zhao Huan.

Of course, Zhao Huan's simple meals are also a reason. The catering level of an emperor is actually only equivalent to that of a small rich family.

But here, it’s too unsophisticated, isn’t it?
Do you call this shabby?
Although he thought so in his heart, Zhao Ci would not say it out loud to make himself uncomfortable.

He just smiled and said: "Where is it! The stability of Beisan County is related to the safety of Linge. Mr. Zhang is thinking so much about Dayu, how can he still think about food? Don't mention it for being weird. Mr. Zhang is in charge of Qingyang County. It's really true. The blessing of the people. I dedicate this glass of wine to Mr. Zhang!"

As he spoke, he raised his wine glass.

Zhao Yong: "..."

No!

Can you speak nicely?

Zhao Yong also raised his glass: "I have been with Lao Shi for so long, and this is the first time I have heard him praise someone like this. Mr. Zhang, we toast you this glass of wine."

Zhang Dezu was also a little surprised. He really didn't expect the two princes to be so enthusiastic.

That's it.

I originally felt that Zhao Ci was difficult to get along with, but now it seems that there should be no problems with my plan.

There was a lot of toasting.

One sentence after another was spoken on the table.

Zhao Ci also naturally integrated into the big sauce tank of officialdom, and he always said the same thing in every situation.

Zhao Yong was stunned.

When did you learn this?

Zhao Ci is also in pain. If I hadn't had a large amount of comprehension points waiting to be collected, would I have made a fool of myself with these people?
After all, these are the people who do the work.

Without them, I wouldn't be able to get a list of people of suitable age.

Ugh!
Life is not easy.

Zhao Ci busked.

Change the cup.

When I was slightly drunk.

Zhao Ci put his arms around Zhang Desu's neck and said with a loud tongue: "Brother Zhang, this time the emperor will give you the elixir, and I need your help in sorting out the list of the three counties in the north. This time I am all relying on you. Please tell me everything. When can this list be compiled so that I can go back and deliver a report to my father as soon as possible."

"Ugh!"

Zhang Dezui sighed: "Your Highness is not delaying you. The population of the three northern counties is really large, and the uncooperative people are not cooperating. If you want to compile the list, it really cannot be done in a day or two." .

The subordinate can only say that he must try his best. If it is quick, it can be completed in half a month. "

What a fool!

Still being uncooperative?

No matter how cunning the people are, if they hear that there are Qi-training pills given away for free, might they not cooperate?

In this half month, I'm afraid someone may want to cause trouble.

Zhao Ci looked at Zhang Deze's forehead, and sure enough, there was an extra line of words.

[Zhang Deze’s current wish]: How can a Diaomin deserve to get the Qi Training Pill in vain?I want to use these five thousand elixirs from the imperial court as a favor to myself.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +1, free talisman X1.

Zhao Ci: "???"

For such a big thing, is it worth just a little bit of understanding?
Do you look down on His Highness like this?
