Reincarnation Tower: While others are trying to survive, I will gain points.

Chapter 266 The First Meeting of the Reckless Hero and the Undead Knight

Jiang Xun stayed in Lin'an City for 20 days.

Of course, he did not stay in Jinshan Temple for a long time. In fact, when he woke up the next day, Fa Hai, the abbot of Jinshan Temple, had disappeared.

The person who disappeared with him was the sloppy monk who wandered the streets every day, Master Daoji of Lingyin Temple.

But Jiang Xun still felt some unusual things in this era, such as those high-ranking officials in the court who didn't look normal.

After all, Lin'an is the capital. As the capital of the southern provinces and the Jiangdong region, it is rich in products, and its commerce and handicrafts are extremely developed. Unlike Jiankang, it is not facing the threat of the Jin soldiers, so it is naturally extremely prosperous.

But behind this prosperity, the rich are still in vast distances, and the poor have no place to stand. This is also one of the background stories of the Biography of Jigong.

Naturally, this Jigong is not as old as in the original work, but the dynasty of this era already has the atmosphere of the last generation.

This shows that the "National Master" in the court is probably already taking action!

Others don't know, but Jiang Xun knows very well that this so-called Imperial Master is actually the pseudo-Buddha Pudu Cihang. This guy has caused the entire court to be in a foul atmosphere and has left the higher-ups with no time to care about the lower-level. This is why a place like Guobei County has been created. There are evil people and powerful people everywhere!

This is similar to the meaning of a drink and a peck, and Jiang Xun has no intention of changing in the past. It would be really tragic if he really stepped forward and was targeted by Pudu Cihang!

However, he has recently received news from Ning Caichen. With the last debt collector quitting, Qibaozhai is looking for a new debt collector. The high rewards and stable guarantees have made many people Ning Caichen was eager to get the order for Guobei County after fighting for a long time.

He naturally knows what the world is like now, but he needs money to buy books, study and take imperial examinations, so he must do this!

So, on this day, Ning Caichen came to Jiang Xun to say goodbye.

After all, Jiang Xun intended to get acquainted with him, so in such a short period of time, they had developed some affection.

Ning Caichen is a rather old-school scholar. He is smart but conservative, which is why he is in such a difficult situation. If someone treats him well, he naturally wants to repay him.

So, while Jiang Xun was staying at the inn, Ning Caichen came to visit!

"Mr. Ning, Mr. Jiang is meeting guests in the private room on the third floor. Come with me!" Dr. Tea said, leading Ning Caichen over.

It was not the first time that Ning Caichen came to this inn. In fact, the second time he met Jiang Xun was in this inn. Brother Jiang very politely invited him to have a meal. Compared with people of this era, For a very luxurious meal.

So his expression did not change, he dressed in scribe's uniform very naturally and knocked on the door of the cubicle.

"Brother Jiang, Ning Caichen is here to visit!"

Such a voice came, and the people inside noticed it, "Captain Li, please open the door." Jiang Xun's voice came.

As the door opened, Ning Caichen also saw the people inside. In addition to the familiar Jiang Xun, there was also a scholar and an official wearing soap clothes, who should be Capt. Li as Jiang Xun mentioned.

He quickly cupped his hands and said, "I hope you'll forgive me for coming uninvited!"

Jiang Xun smiled and said, "Brother Ning is here just in time. This brother Li is also one of the participants in this scientific examination. Let me introduce him to you!"

"Qiantang County arrests the head, Li Gongfu, his cousin Li Gongjing!"

"Ning Caichen."

Jiang Xun also thought it was a coincidence, so he naturally wanted to introduce it to them. It would be best to take the time to go to Qiantang and invite Li Gongfu's brother-in-law!

After all, one is an undead knight and the other is a reckless hero. They should have something in common, right?

Not to mention Jiang Xun's dark thoughts, these two people were candidates of the same class, and they became familiar with each other after just a few words.

It is reasonable, after all, in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, the same period was a very powerful force, which can be regarded as a very practical thing.

The two scholars started chatting, which allowed Jiang Xun and Li Gongfu to chat more.

"Brother Jiang, thank you for protecting my clan brother, otherwise our Li family would have been in decline!" Li Gongfu picked up the wine glass and said. Although he looked like a catcher, he had an elegant temperament about him. People who have read books.

"It's just a piece of cake, brother Li, don't worry about it!" Jiang Xun said with a smile, and then asked curiously, "I wonder if you have anything else important to do this time? If so, I'd better explain it in advance to avoid It’s delayed your business!”

Li Gongfu was a public official and could not leave Qiantang unless he had other matters, so Jiang Xun concluded that he must have come to see him by the way, rather than coming on a special trip.

"It's not a particularly big thing, it's just because of a challenge!" Li Gongfu said, "This matter has been widely circulated in the world, but there is no news among the people. If Jiang Xun is happy, can I tell you about it? "

Jiang Xun was interested, "Oh? Then I am indeed somewhat interested!"

"The cause of the matter was that Xia Hou, the best swordsman in the world, chose to challenge Yan Chixia, the judge of the twenty-six provinces of Guandong and Guangxi. The two of them finally placed the challenge in Lin'an Mansion. The court was afraid that the matter between them would cause There were riots everywhere, and I was specially sent here to suppress them."

Li Gongfu said calmly, "It's not just me, but also the extremely prestigious Imperial Army Captain, Zuo Qianhu!"

"Zuo Qianhu?"

"Yes, my surname is Zuo and my last name is Qianhu. I am the number one martial artist in the imperial court, and he is also a peerless master who is famous in the world!"

Jiang was having fun. He had such doubts to begin with. After all, the original A Chinese Ghost Story was set in the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the military positions were determined by Zhu Yuanzhang, which was the so-called Baihu and Qianhu names. So Zuo Qianhu was just a Qianhu official surnamed Zuo.

But it's different in this world, because the timeline has been moved to the Song Dynasty, and there was no such official position in the Song Dynasty, so he was still thinking about what Zuo Qianhu should do.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Qianhu became his name directly. It was really clever and interesting enough!

"Then the name Xiahou is..."

"My surname is Xia, my name is Hou!" Li Gongfu's answer was not what Jiang Xun expected. It seems that this fight has brought together the most capable people in the two "A Chinese Ghost Story"?

Jiang Xun was thinking this, and suddenly thought that there seemed to be a Taoist priest Zhi Qiu Yiye that he had not seen. Could this guy be next door, right?

Then, he heard a voice downstairs: "Hey, little brother, do you know where Yan Chixia is? What? Never heard of it? Sorry to bother you!"

He poked his head out and saw the young but passionate face, and almost couldn't help laughing. After all, the famous "Oh, I'm so tired" emoticon was so famous.

Zhiqiu Yiye is also in place!

Jiang Xun thought silently, and as a big fan of Yan Chixia, it was not unusual for this Taoist priest to come over to investigate after learning about Yan Chixia.

Then, Jiang Xun said slowly: "I'm really interested in what Mr. Li said. I wonder when and where?" "Only tomorrow, above the West Lake!" Li Gongfu said with a smile. It’s not a big secret, so you can naturally say, “Brother Jiang, want to take a look?”

"Of course I want to see such a prosperous world!" Jiang Xun nodded and said. He never thought that there would be such a grand event before the story began, and the protagonists of several stories came in droves!

"My brother-in-law has also been in Lin'an recently, and he will go with us tomorrow. I hope Brother Jiang will take care of him!" Li Gongfu said. After all, he was on official duty, so it was impossible to follow others all the way. He took Li Gongjing with him Come on, I have this idea too.

Now that he knew Jiang Xun's existence, and also knew Jiang Xun's character through Li Gongjing, he naturally trusted him.

"Oh? I don't know what to call him?" Jiang Xun asked with a smile.

"Xu Xian, you can just call him Hanwen." Li Gongfu said, "This is a grand gathering of the world after all. It is also good to gain some experience!"

Jiang Xun's eyes flashed with amusement, this is very interesting! ——

The next morning, Jiang Xun got up early. The wind today was much noisier than before!

Even the waiter in the inn was much more lively than yesterday: "Mr. Jiang, you got up really early!"

Jiang Xun replied with a smile, "Something big is happening today, so of course I have to get up early!"

"Hey, you also know that something big has happened!" the waiter said, "This was something that was rumored just last night!"

"Tell me what it is, and see if it's different from what I know?" Jiang Xun said casually. He also wanted to hear what it was like in other people's mouths.

"That's what I said!" the waiter said cheerfully, "Early this morning, Master Fu Tianqiu, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and seventy-one officials, big and small, submitted a letter asking for the execution of the Imperial Master!"

"This is really a happy thing. After all, the Imperial Master is so prestigious. If it weren't for senior officials like Master Fu and the support of the border troops, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been successful!"

Jiang Xun didn't expect that such a thing would happen, and he was really curious, "It's actually this!"

"No, the Imperial Master is not a good person!" the waiter said, "Everyone knows this, why don't the officials know about it?"

"Maybe this is because he was deceived!" Jiang Xun said lightly. Although this is a good thing, Fu Tianchou's actions will bring disaster to himself!

He shook his head but didn't say anything. After all, this was also the beginning of Pudu Cihang's story, and the struggle between these ministers and the emperor was also part of the story.

However, this is all a matter for the future. Jiang Xun got up so early just to see this meeting of the century!

And soon, Xu Xian and Li Gongjing walked out of the room.

Li Gongfu has naturally gone to maintain order. Although Yan Chixia has not arrived yet, they must have arranged the battlefield first. Hundreds of police officers from the entire Lin'an Prefecture are already in place, and even part of the Forbidden Army has arrived. Just to prevent emergencies from happening.

Now, this place can be said to be armed to the extreme.

Jiang Xun greeted them for breakfast and mentioned Fu Tianchou's incident. In short, he wanted to give Xu Xian and others an impression, so that if Bai Suzhen came in the future, it would be easier, right?

Then, Ning Caichen, who lived nearby, also came in a hurry.

"Brother Xu, this is Brother Ning Caichen!" Jiang Xun quickly introduced, "I think you will have a lot in common!"

Although no one can get this joke, just thinking about it himself makes him feel very interesting, right?

The first meeting between Ning Caichen and Xu Xian was also very indifferent. After all, both of them are known for their character and abilities. They are also rare and upright male protagonists in Liaozhai. Without so many arrogances, it is naturally easy to get together. .

According to the original plan, when Ning Caichen arrived, they had already started walking towards the West Lake.

Today's Lin'an City has obviously become a bit more solemn. The government officials and policemen on the road are proof of this tense atmosphere.

Ning Caichen and Xu Xian were both a little nervous, so Jiang Xun had no choice but to say something to liven up the atmosphere.

"Tell me, you two, what do you think about the theory of monsters and ghosts?" Jiang Xun asked.

"Brother Jiang, don't believe these country gossips!" Ning Caichen said solemnly, "Such ghost stories are just to scare the common people!"

"If I can win the election and become an official, I will definitely open up the people's wisdom and make this kind of rural gossip disappear from this area!"

Xu Xian was more relaxed and relaxed: "Brother Ning, there is no need to be so serious. We who are studying medicine have seen a lot of mountain spirits and wild monsters. In fact, those are just relatively smart animals. As long as you don't touch them, they will naturally Nothing will happen!"

"Most of these monsters have no intelligence, they are just animals with a little aura. However, due to the rumors spread by the rural people, it naturally became such a story..."

When these two people sang together, weren't they talking about Jiang Xun spreading rural stories?

Jiang Xun is not angry either. Corrupt scholars are all like this. Anyway, these words are their dark history. Just remember it yourself. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future to slowly slap them in the face!

The four people walked all the way and soon arrived near the West Lake.

The West Lake in this era already has a scenic effect. Have you not seen Yang Wanli's famous saying "The lotus leaves that touch the sky are infinitely blue, and the lotus flowers that reflect the sun are uniquely red" have been passed down through the ages?

Not to mention the embankments built successively by two famous poets in this lake, namely "Su Embankment" and "Bai Embankment", which are also regarded as a scene of West Lake.

But here today, on top of a small pavilion in the center of the lake, a man wearing shorts stood on top very elegantly.

Jiang Xun recognized this man. He was the best swordsman in the world, Xiahou!

This man was unlucky. He chased Yan Chixia. After being defeated, he chased her all the way to Lanruo Temple. Then he was seduced by a female ghost and eaten by the tree demon grandma.

If his mind were stronger, he would be a top master like Zuo Qianhu. He can't deal with the strongest monsters, but he should have no problem dealing with ordinary ghosts.

Jiang Xun had some ideas. At this time, he had to deal with ghosts and monsters. These strong men in the world naturally had to play their role, but they could no longer be consumed unconsciously.

Then, an exclamation sounded, "Here we come!"

Jiang Xun quickly looked up and saw a bearded man walking to the center of the crowd and boarding a small boat.

This man had thick eyebrows, smelled of alcohol, and looked like Zhong Kui. He looked very scary.

This is Yan Chixia!
