Madam, look at the sword!

Chapter 97 The fairy is a little disappointed (5200 requests for subscriptions)

There is a green brick house with black eaves in the backyard of Shuntian Mansion.

The space in the house is actually not small, but it is filled with clutter all year round.

Cui Zhi, who was directly promoted from a small minister to the official, has been cleaning and decorating this place with his young subordinates for the past two days.

Obviously, this is where they will work in the future, which is where the yet-to-be-named government office is located.

Of course, in the past two days, some people in the house often passed by here intentionally or unintentionally and took a look.

Some looked sarcastic, some looked like they were just watching the fun, and of course there were some old people whose souls might not have decayed yet, looking at this from a distance, their eyes full of envy.

If you ask why they don't choose to join it, it may be that they are older and have more concerns.

In short, Cui Zhi and his eight young subordinates finally renovated the place without any worries and had everything they needed to investigate and handle the case.

Even the current Si Yamen, who doesn’t even have a name, naturally has no case.

Now they were sitting in their own space, chatting unscrupulously about what to call this place, when their nameless wooden door of the office was pushed open for the first time.

There was a soft sound of "squeak~".

Everyone looked sideways and saw the old man Zhou Shunyi in Shuntian Mansion.

"Cui Fuzheng, the boss told me the day before yesterday that if there is a new case, we should notify this place as soon as possible..."

Everyone immediately became energetic after hearing this. After all, the new Si Yamen had just been established. As the first batch of elders, all young people did not want to prove themselves.

Cui Zhi was much calmer and calmer. After meeting Zhou Shunyi, he asked, "What case?"

Zhou Shunyi replied: "Someone from the three major sects has died."

Cui Zhi blinked: "Tan Yang, Wuhua is coming with me, and the rest will stay here, waiting for us to come back."

Tan Yang was the young man with straight eyebrows that day, and Wu Hua was the only woman among the eight people later, but she was already well-known in Shuntian Mansion before.

The two of them followed immediately after hearing the words. The other six sighed a little and seemed to want to see the scene of the crime.

The three of them walked out of Shuntian Mansion, and under the leadership of Lao Zhou, they came all the way to a large house in Dongfang. At this point, they met someone from the Yamen who had come earlier than them. Only then did Cui Zhi know who the person who died here was. .

——Scholar, Jiang Wenzhao.

"Judging from the posture of the deceased falling to the ground, the position where the sword fell, and the direction of the blood splashing on the ground."

"No matter how you look at it, it's suicide."

"Then why are there two extra sword marks on the deceased's neck?"

"He was very hesitant when he committed suicide. It took him two attempts before he finally made up his mind."

"Generally speaking, if you try to commit suicide once and fail, you will not have the courage to try a second time. Why he was able to kill himself in the end is very rare."

"Yes, he must have encountered a problem that he cannot die."

The conversation between two Dali Temple detective masters fell into my ears.

Not far from them, there was a mother and daughter who were obviously from this mansion, sobbing softly, but for some reason, there seemed to be a sense of joy in the mother's tearful eyes, as if she was glad that her husband had committed suicide.

Looking at the picture in front of him, Cui Zhi's last gaze naturally rested on Jiang Wenzhao's face.

He had seen this face several times, the high-spirited expression outside the post house, the sarcastic sneer in front of the North City Gate, and even when he was expressionless and pretending to be humble, there was still arrogance in his bones.

But now, in addition to the paleness, there is also a mass of black as the background color, which is commonly known as the aura of death, which has become the current expression of this face.

I can't tell what he was thinking before he died.

But thinking about it, he himself never thought that among the three and four people in the post house, he was the luckiest to escape, but now he is the worst to die.

Yes.

Cui Zhi felt that there was no crueler way to die than being forced to kill himself.

He just felt a little regretful that although he had fulfilled his promise to Wu, he did not do it himself.

For a moment, I was still in a daze.

Because the cause of his death was extremely simple - he died of political squeeze.

On the surface, Zong Ke's entry into the court undoubtedly seemed like a slap in the face from His Majesty, who rewarded the three major sects with sweet dates, because their disciples could enter the court as officials in the future.

So since His Majesty has given face.

The three major sects must know something.

so..

Jiang Wenzhao committed suicide and died.

This kind of rules is what Liu Guangyi mentioned before as ‘order’.

Cui Zhi now looked at Jiang Wenzhao's dead face that he would never forget in his life, and for the first time he truly felt the power of the word 'order'.

He took a deep breath and wanted to talk to Zhao Chengfeng.

……

Zhou Tian's Zong Ke's entry into the dynasty was, in a certain sense, the first step in establishing a new order in Kyushu and the world.

Of course, there is an old order in the world of Kyushu, and of course the old order comes from the Yunqin Dynasty, the victor after the human race split.

To be precise, it can also be said to be the Yun-Qin Immortal Alliance formed by the three ancient sects, the Thirty-six Immortal Sects, and the Seventy-two Mountain Sects that supported the Yunqin Dynasty.

The Yunqin Immortal Alliance is extremely influential. Whether it is on the edge of the mountains and seas, or among the thousands of islands on the four seas, or in the Western Region, in the desert, or even in the wilderness, everyone must abide by the rules they set.

For example, the spiritual contract accidentally obtained by Zhao Yulong of Prince Dangbei some time ago has the mark of the Yunqin Immortal Alliance and has legal effects everywhere in the world of Kyushu except Zhoutian.

This is also the reason why the three major sects have always helped the third prince, because they have never obtained this spiritual contract that has legal effects in the world outside Zhoutian. Without this thing, the ownership of the spiritual mine will be in dispute.

This shows how strong the Yun Qin Immortal Alliance is.

This kind of strength is based on ultimate strength.

It is the normal state of the world for a dominant family to inevitably decay. The Yunqin Immortal Alliance, which has ruled the world for nearly a thousand years, has almost squeezed the world of Kyushu to the extreme due to various problems caused by its antiquity.

Therefore, the neutral forces and third-party sects that were not actually within the Yunqin Dynasty responded one after another after hearing that Zhou Tian's Zongbu had entered the dynasty.

Because they also hope that Zhou Tian can compete with Yun Qin. For them, only by being fought over by two families can they gain the greatest benefits. It is not their wish to be the dominant one and be squeezed. They hope from the bottom of their hearts that Zhou Tian can become stronger.

The sect that Wang Er belongs to is a microcosm of this. Regardless of whether there are jujubes or not, it is the choice of most neutral forces to strike first and then talk.

So as soon as the news came, countless sects in the desert, on the edge of the mountains and seas, and on the thousands of islands on the four seas sent their disciples to Zhoutian.

Even if there are no Zhou Tian people in the sect, they must first find out if there are any good talents from Zhou Tian within their sphere of influence.

In other words, Zong Ke's entry into the court and Zhou Tian's desire to establish a new order are good news for this type of sect and disciples.

But for the ancient Yunqin Dynasty and the Yunqin Immortal Alliance without a royal family, Zhou Tian's actions are undoubtedly challenging their dominance in the world of Kyushu.

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous~"

The thirty-six Immortal Sects in Yunqin have no succession, but in recent years, the first one recognized among the three ancient sects is the Feiyun Sect.

At this time, on the top of Feiyun Mountain, which towered into the clouds, there was a black and white chessboard placed on a small table. Two people were playing chess, namely the old man with a white beard who had just finished speaking, and the man next to him who was wearing a cloud-patterned robe. A proud middle-aged man.

The old man is the great elder of Feiyun Sect, and his status in the Yunqin Dynasty and the Immortal Alliance can be imagined.

The identity of the middle-aged man is a bit complicated. In addition to being Emperor Yunqin's uncle, he is also a disciple of Feiyun Sect. The most important thing is that there is a prominent bone clearly visible on the occipital bone on the back of this man's head. This is usually called Anti-bone.

In fact, regardless of whether he is rebellious or not, even though Emperor Qin is middle-aged, he is really rebellious.

"Why does the great elder think Zhou Tian's behavior is ridiculous?"

Facing his question, the white-bearded old man gently shook his long sleeves.

Emperor Qin's uncle saw that the top of the mountain suddenly became bright, as if an invisible hurricane had blown away all the lingering clouds and mists. He mobilized his true energy and looked into his eyes, and he could see the scenery thousands of miles away.

And around Feiyun Mountain, there are naturally all the Immortal Mountains of the Thirty-Six Immortal Sect.

There was no surprise. He saw many sect disciples setting off and preparing for a long journey.

But he still asked: "So what?"

The old man had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, but his words were full of confidence: "The path to immortality is as fast as your heart and mind. Since ancient times, the foundation of immortality has been in our major sects in Yunqin. If people in the world want to live forever and pursue the ethereal immortality, they will naturally come to my cloud." There are thirty-six immortal sects in Qin and seventy-two mountain gates, so..."

Uncle Qin added: "Therefore, there are many people from Zhoutian in each major sect within Yunqin. They will go to Zhoutian to participate in the imperial examination, so that Zhoutian's imperial examination becomes the internal competition of Yunqin sect. So Zhou Tian, ​​who wanted to establish a new order, lost all face and became the laughing stock of the world."

The old man smiled: "You know everything and why are you still asking? Besides, isn't this ridiculous?"

Uncle Qin Huang held the black chess piece, placed a chess piece on the chessboard, shook his head and said: "No matter how many people from the Yunqin Immortal Sect are on the final list of the Great Examination, it is enough as long as the top one is from Zhoutian Academy. .”

The old man did not play chess when he heard this, but looked at him: "So what do you think?"

"The reason why Emperor Zhou dares to do this is naturally because he is confident that no matter who comes to the young people who come to Zhoutian after complying with the rules of the Great Imperial Examination, they will not be able to defeat those he has prepared."

The old man nodded: "It does make sense, so Sui Shanhe and Chen Jian will also leave for Zhoutian tomorrow." These two names without any prefix seem to have a certain weight.

But after thinking about it, Uncle Qin finally shook his head: "Do you think this will provide double protection?"

"Is that not enough?"

"I don't think it's enough."

While he was talking, a loud crane roar came from the top of the mountain.

A crane returned from afar and brought a letter to the old man.

After reading it, the old man smiled happily, then handed the letter to Uncle Qin and asked, "Is this enough?"

Emperor Qin's uncle read the contents of the letter and looked in the direction of Qingshan Sword Sect with a look of shock on his face: "This is indeed enough, but... why?"

"There is no reason why the Sword Immortal wants his disciple to have some experience and see the world."

……

What is the human world?

In Zhao Chengfeng's opinion, at least the human world is not on a fairy mountain where people go on a hunger strike, but in the marketplace where they eat and shit.

Of course, there is also a human world in an academy, especially in Qingsong Academy. There are not only beautiful scenery, but there are also many places where young girls are accompanied by beautiful scenery. Naturally, it is a human world within a human world.

When Cui Zhi saw Zhao Chengfeng, Zhao Chengfeng was on the tree.

The reason why he climbed into the tree was because the Chengfeng Club, which had not been seen since he entered school, finally couldn't hold it back anymore and became a little enthusiastic.

Especially those two calls of "brother" that he didn't know who they were, made his scalp numb.

So, I found a place to hide, but unexpectedly I happened to see Cui Zhi, who was dressed in official uniform and stood out when walking in the academy. Cui Zhi naturally stopped me.

"What happened?"

"Jiang Wenzhao is dead and committed suicide."

Cui Zhi stood under the tree, holding his neck high.

When Zhao Chengfeng heard this, he naturally figured out the meaning quickly.

So he jumped down from the tree, sat down under the roots of the tree, and patted the green grass around him.

Cui Zhi saw his movement and immediately sat next to him.

Zhao Chengfeng raised his finger: "Isn't it a good thing to die?"

Cui Zhi frowned and said bluntly: "On the one hand, I somewhat understand the need for the existence of order, but on the other hand, I am a little afraid of becoming a controlled part of the order."

Zhao Chengfeng laughed: "This is a good thing."

"How to say?"

Zhao Chengfeng took out a stack of paper from his arms:

"Zong Ke entered the court because Zhou Tian wanted to establish a new order, both externally and internally."

"Why did Uncle Liu set up a separate office for you? It's because the time to establish a new order is coming soon. You are one of the founders of the order. Both His Majesty and he hope that you can use your integrity to Laying the foundation of the new order, or our predecessors, I hope our generation’s days will be brighter and longer.”

Cui Zhi nodded heavily when he heard this.

"Give."

Zhao Chengfeng handed over a piece of paper.

Cui walked over and saw a small hole painted on it, then his pupils shrank sharply and his face turned red.

After a moment, he murmured: "This is."

"A very straight shooting technique, I think it suits you well."

Cui Zhi suddenly felt that the paper in his hand was a little hot, because even the most stupid person would realize the value of this paper after just a glance.

"I"

Zhao Chengfeng interrupted him:

"I think the news of Zong Ke's coming to court has spread all over the world. If we can overlook the mainland now, we will definitely see Wan Zong coming to court."

"Although there is still some time before the imperial examination, these people who come to Zhoutian cannot directly participate in the imperial examination like the students from the four major academies. They have to be busy recognizing their ancestors, going to the provincial examination, and taking the provincial examination. , will be tested in Beijing at the end, but there is no doubt that Kyoto will soon become the most lively place in Kyushu."

“Where there’s excitement, there’s bound to be something going on.”

"Don't wear official uniform when the time comes. It would be embarrassing if you can't beat the sect disciples when you arrest someone."

After saying that, Zhao Chengfeng stood up and patted the dust on his butt: "After you understand this, come back to me."

Seeing that he was leaving, Cui Zhi couldn't help but asked, "What are you going to do?"

Zhao Chengfeng sighed and repeated: "Think of the news about Zong Ke entering the court now... If you can overlook the mainland... you will definitely see the sight of Wan Zong coming to the court."

Cui Zhi: "???" He had just heard this.

Zhao Chengfeng coughed, omitted two paragraphs and said directly: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to defeat him by then. Then it won't be me who is embarrassed, but Zhou Tian's face will be lost, the plan will not be implemented, and order will not be established." , so I’ve been thinking about how to become stronger recently.”

Cui Zhi didn't understand: "So I'm delaying your thinking here?"

Zhao Chengfeng shook his head: "Yes, you delayed my visit to the girls in the academy."

Cui Zhi didn't understand even more: "Girl and thinking?"

Zhao Chengfeng: "Looking at girls is pleasing to the eye, especially the childlike girls in the academy. Every smile and frown makes me feel comforted, and it makes me think quickly."

Cui Zhi was speechless and had no choice but to stand up: "Then I'm leaving."

Zhao Chengfeng waved his hand without hesitation. Seeing him walking away and looking at the female classmates passing by in the academy, he couldn't help but think of the girl who should still be on the green mountain.

So he would inevitably feel a little disgusted, after all, if she didn't come.

Why is there so much pressure now?

Do you need to jump into the river every day?

……

Qingshan Sword Sect stands on Qingshan.

This sounds like nonsense, but who in the world doesn’t know where Qingshan is?

Even a three-year-old baby can call out the names of the Seven Swords of Qingshan, not to mention that the Qingshan Sword Sect has left behind a reputation, countless stories and legends over the past thousand years.

There is even a catchy saying that is spread all over the world, called:

——The sword immortals in the world come out of the green mountains, it’s not that the sword immortals don’t come out of the mountains.

There are two meanings in the words. One is that only the sword cultivators from Qingshan are worthy of the word "Sword Immortal". The other sword cultivators in Kyushu and the world are all side sects and are not worthy of being compared with them. The other is that it is an exaggeration. The accurate meaning is: , the disciples who came out of Qingshan all have the appearance of sword immortals.

And when it comes to this, we have to mention that among the three ancient sects, only the Qingshan Sword Sect is still in constant contact with the human world and still has some fireworks.

The way of contact is to send disciples to join the world to do chivalry and justice.

This has been the rule of the Qingshan Sword Sect since ancient times, and it has been passed down to this day. It is hard to say whether the taste has changed from the ancient times, but in the end, the Qingshan Sword Sect may be the only true immortal sect among the three ancient sects that still cannibalize the fireworks of the world.

It just seems that the top of Qingshan looks a little more out-of-this-world.

The sea of ​​clouds stretches out, the clouds are colorful, and the fairy spirit lingers. This is the scene here.

Among the well-proportioned palaces, there is a small pavilion with an excellent location, where you can admire the sea of ​​clouds, exotic animals, flowers, and flying swords in the clouds.

At this time, a young girl was waiting in the pavilion.

Her eyebrows are picturesque, her eyes are full of softness, and her skin is white and seems to be translucent. If it weren't for the sword-like hairpin in her hair, which seems to have a sharp meaning, she looks more like a girl next door, with an invisible aura. Affinity will make people get close to you inadvertently.

And just like this, she didn't know how long she had been waiting without moving, but the long-awaited footsteps finally came from outside the pavilion.

A middle-aged woman in green clothes with three long swords on her waist, who was obviously a swordsman, came to her: "Fairy, the news is back."

When the girl heard this, her pretty face immediately showed a serious look: "Say."

"Zhao Chengfeng, the third son of Prince Dangbei, is in Zhoutian Capital, and he defeated the third prince of Dahuang not long ago. He has now reached the fifteenth position in Zhoutian's Qingyun Ranking."

The girl's slightly frowned brows relaxed. She seemed satisfied with the news that Zhao Chengfeng was in Kyoto, so she thought for a moment and said, "He is definitely more than that, but it's good that he is in Kyoto. We finally meet~!"

"There's one more thing about him, too."

"Ok?"

The sword servant coughed: "Not long ago, he got married to Zhou Tian's little princess."

When the girl heard this, she looked shocked at first, and then the expression on her pretty face turned into a little disappointed: "Are you married?"
