All sects work

Chapter 185 Can't Leave Her Alone

The Dongji Sect's mental method only requires thought to activate the Soul-Binding Lock. All the strong men in the sect have super spiritual awareness, so it is not surprising that the Dongji Sect can produce someone like Dongfang Zhentian, who is naturally sharp and can foresee disasters.

However, this level of spiritual awareness needs to be nurtured naturally. Even if a good seedling emerges by chance in the Dharma-Ending Age, it is difficult to cultivate it. On the contrary, the Five Elements Soul Binding Technique that relies on external objects can often perform exceptionally well.

"I choose the Five Elements Soul Binding Technique." Yun Ke understood the implication of Bai Xuexing's words and quickly made a decision.

In fact, he thought of more. The Taoist priest said that once the five elements were lost, the five elements soul binding technique would be ineffective, but there was probably no one in the world who could shield the five elements! Therefore, this was not a fatal flaw for him.

Seeing that he could only choose the worst one, but still looked happy, Bai Xuexing couldn't help but feel sympathy: "This scroll of secret technique has many shortcomings and there is still a lot of room for improvement. Do you need me to show you a way forward?"

Yunke said in surprise: "Senior, please speak!"

Bai Xuexing raised the corner of his lips slightly: "The county magistrate is a leader in this field, and is very good at creating her own skills. It is said that she can write a set of mental skills in just a moment. Why don't you ask her for a try?"

He learned about this from Jiang Chuixing and Dongfang Zhentian, but he didn't expect it to come in handy here!
"One moment!" After being amazed, Yunke realized that even if the county magistrate could write ten in one moment, he couldn't write for free. He had to exchange something that the adults were interested in.

But what is there in him that could attract a peerless master?
Yun Ke understood after a brief thought, and stood up and bowed to Bai Xue earnestly: "Junior understands, and I will definitely follow you till death in the future!"

Bai Xuexing nodded calmly, but secretly gave himself a thumbs up in his heart for this excellent suggestion. It not only helped Yunke, but also fulfilled his own kindness, and at the same time allowed Shi Xuanying to gain a loyal fan.

Of course, the most important thing was to give her some trouble! He couldn't work hard alone!

Bai Xuexing smiled gently and said, "Don't spread this matter around, and don't keep it secret. If there are other cultivators who want to ask you to modify your mental skills or spells, you can go together. With more people, we will be more courageous, and you will pay more attention to us."

"Okay! Thank you for your guidance, senior!" said Yunke.

Bai Xuexing served tea to the guests and then dove headfirst into official documents.

The workshops in the two counties were built very quickly. The two government offices already had insufficient officials, and now they were even busier than ever.

The workshops in Tao County were integrated and rebuilt, including preserved fruit workshops, fruit wine workshops, military supply workshops, etc. The silk reeling workshops, mulberry silkworm planting workshops, textile and embroidery workshops in Linxi County...

In addition, new grain seeds need to be distributed and seedlings need to be grown, and the city walls need to be repaired and the rivers dredged.

We are short of manpower, and the busy farming season is about to begin, so we won’t be able to find anyone to work!
It just so happened that the two counties in the basin had already discovered that Shi Xuanying had opened up the mountain road, and had been watching from the sidelines. They were then caught by her and lured over to fill in some of the vacancies.

Because of these things, the establishment of a new county in the deep mountain basin had to be postponed temporarily.

Shi Xuanying wants someone so much!

When the two counties were developing in full swing, the State of Chen and the State of Xu announced their alliance two days after the Qushui talks, and the already tense situation suddenly became even more tense.

The drought in the northwest of Qu State is getting worse. A large number of refugees are flocking to the capital. The request for the Northwest Army to return to defend the country has been shelved. What are the ministers in the court of Qu State doing? They are wrestling with each other. Some court officials believe that the disaster should be dealt with as soon as possible, warehouses should be opened for disaster relief, and the Northwest Army should be ordered to return to defend the refugees and send them south for resettlement, rather than letting them wander around freely. Others believe that the Northwest Army has long been rebellious and may directly rebel if they get involved with the refugees...

While the two parties were fighting, they both urged Emperor Qu to open an altar and issue an edict of repentance, asking for God's forgiveness!
Emperor Qu was unwilling to write a confession of guilt, let alone open an altar and call himself a "sinner" in front of the scrutiny of the world! If he really did that, he would really become a sinner for all eternity! Five hundred years later, when the history books are turned over, maybe someone will spit at him.

Emperor Qu was unwilling, so he took his anger out on others and tried to divert the conflict. In just half a month, Xiao Hongfan had received three letters urging her to fight, requiring her to destroy the Restoration Army within a month.

Xiao Hongfan's inaction has already aroused suspicion among many people.

Those people didn't go to the battlefield and talked without any hesitation. They only knew how to blame her for being a general but avoiding battles time and again, and for not being able to defeat a mere tens of thousands of the Restoration Army. However, they completely avoided talking about the complexity of the war situation in the southwest.

Although the number of the Restoration Army is not large, they are restrained by the Xu State in the rear, the Great Chen State is eyeing them covetously from the side, and the Restoration Army has won the hearts of the people in the former territory of the Small Chen State. Xiao Hongfan is caught in the middle. If he makes even the slightest mistake, he will not be able to guarantee that he will not lose an inch of land like he is doing now.

Now that the Great Chen State and the Xu State have formed a high-profile alliance, almost everyone in the Qu State has unanimously put the blame on Xiao Hongfan, saying that if she had not been unable to destroy the Restoration Army, there would not be the current dangerous situation. Some even believe that she had already colluded with the Restoration Army and suggested replacing the general.

When the envoys of the Restoration Army came to lobby Xiao Hongfan, Emperor Qu had suspected her. It was she who wrote a letter to defend herself, and with the protection of Prince Yu, the situation was settled. Now that the conflict has broken out, it is not only Emperor Qu who has begun to suspect.

There were also some discerning people in the court who strongly opposed the change of generals, and the two sides fought back and forth.

Snapped!
In the Southwest Army, Xiao Hongfan slammed his palm on the table and said, "There are countless corpses under the horses, and they can't read a single word. How can they pretend to be capable ministers in the palace without going to the battlefield? Can they understand the documents?"

The table broke and the imperial edict fell off the table. The generals around looked at it, but no one picked it up.

They suffered from repeated accusations.

Xiao Hongfan's anger was apparently directed at certain court officials, but in reality it was directed at Emperor Qu.

Many of the people in the court of Qu State were military generals, and among them there were some who were both talented in literature and martial arts, but most of them were of humble origins and could not even read or write.

Those people can fight and are brave when they are young, but if they are placed in the wrong position, they will be a disaster. After they switched from military to civil, they also began to read and learn to read. Unfortunately, not everyone is like the left and right prime ministers who can "write to pacify the world and decide the fate of the world with their military skills"!
In fact, many military generals were unwilling to become civil officials. They were overwhelmed by the piles of documents, and it was even more miserable for them to cram for articles they had never seen before every day.

However, the State of Qu gradually stopped the war, the number of troops was reduced, and many meritorious generals could not be resettled. In addition, the treasury was empty due to years of war, and there was no way to reward everyone, so the state had to think of other ways.

These generals were tools for Emperor Qu to show his kindness to his meritorious officials, so how could he allow them to refuse? Even if they were extremely reluctant, they still had to "cut their feet to fit the shoes" and reluctantly sit in positions that were difficult for them to control.

And now these people were forcing Emperor Qu to write a confession of guilt in the hall. This boomerang hurt Emperor Qu so much.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion and timing, Xiao Hongfan really wanted to laugh out loud.

"General! Something happened!" The scouts, led by the young general, ran to the tent breathlessly.
