Ten states

When she returned to the house arranged by Liu Junfeng and faced the somewhat angry face of the old man Aguris, Xiao Xia felt a little guilty and embarrassed.Originally, he thought it would be much better to delay for a while and let the old man Aguris calm down, but now it seems that he still underestimated the sense of justice and persistence of the old man Ouluo. After a long period of time, His anger and urgency were unabated.

Fortunately, no matter how angry this old Ouluo was, he did not lose his demeanor. After expressing his dissatisfaction slightly, he immediately continued the previous topic: "Mr. Xia, although I was a little disappointed by your unexplained disappearance, but now you The reappearance of you made me understand that my previous guess was completely wrong. I apologize for doubting your honesty. So, can you please accompany me to see the consul now?"

"This..." After Xiao Xia scratched his head, he realized that this was an unavoidable hurdle, so he could only nod. "All right."

"By the way, your friend before, the warrior Mr. Yinhe who helped us repel the devil believers also came here to look for you, but after finding out that you were not there, he stayed for a while and then left."

"Mr. Warrior Galaxy..." This somewhat speechless address was actually from Xiaoxia's mouth, but after hearing it for a while, even Xiaoxia herself was stunned, and then she understood what she said Tianhe Ghost.Liu Junfeng really followed what he said before and asked him to come here as a guard. It seems that the state herdsman still has scruples about the two missing Yongzhou army counselors.

Xiao Xia didn't care about it, but just as she was about to go out with Aguris, Tianhe Ghost suddenly appeared.With a slightly gloomy expression, he asked Xiaoxia's whereabouts.Xiaoxia casually said a few perfunctory words about going for a stroll in the city, Tianhe Ghost didn't ask much.Just go on the road with them in silence.

"Daoist Xia, Tianhe Ghost is a bit strange. It seems that something happened to him." Mingyue took a chance and whispered in Xiaoxia's ear.

"What's the matter? Is there something strange?" Xiao Xia could also see that there seemed to be something wrong with Tianhe Ghost's expression.

"The hostility, anger, and confusion in his heart are very heavy. Although he had it before, it is far from this."

Seeing Xiaoxia's somewhat surprised and questioning eyes, Mingyue smiled. After returning from the black wood forest, she appeared to be a lot more easy-going and gentle, but the depths of her eyes were also brighter and sharper.She said softly: "His mind is a master of Buddhism, and there are only a handful of monks in the Pure Land Temple who have practiced to a high level. What I inherited from the relics can only be superficial. I can't see others. I’m thinking about something, but I can still feel the general breath.”

Xiao Xia nodded, thought for a while and asked Mingyue's favorite question before: "Then do you think he was a good person or a bad person before? Is he a good person or a bad person now?"

At this time, Mingyue just smiled faintly: "How can there be so many good people, and how can there be so many bad people."

Fortunately, Xiao Xia didn't wait for Xiao Xia to waste his time trying to guess anything, Tianhe Ghost quickly came to find him on his own initiative.

Including the two small officials accompanying them, there are six people in this group, and the carriage prepared by Liu Junfeng cannot accommodate so many people.Elder Argulis didn't want others to follow him in a car, so the group walked in Luoshui City like this.Not long after walking, Tianhe Ghost, who was walking in the front with the two little officials with no expression on his face, suddenly slowed down and walked up to Xiao Xia.He whispered: "Taoist priest surnamed Xia, I have something to ask you, I hope you can answer me honestly."

"Brother Tianhe, just ask." Xiaoxia coughed and answered seriously.

Tianhe Ghost's voice was very low.But I don't know whether he is unwilling or not, and he didn't use the method of using internal force to condense the sound to transmit sound into the secret.Although the old man Aguris next to Xiao Xia couldn't understand.But seeing his face and voice, he also smiled and walked up quickly.He walked up to the two small officials in front and communicated with them using the Chinese dialect and gestures he had learned during this time.

Mingyue was unmoved, as if she didn't see or hear, she still smiled and followed Xiao Xia naturally and casually.The Tianhe Ghost also didn't seem to care much about this female prostitute, and asked directly: "You think, can I avenge my third brother and fourth brother?"

"..." Xiao Xia was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect Tianhe Ghost to suddenly ask this.After thinking about it carefully, he could only answer honestly: "...It's probably difficult..."

The Tianhe ghost didn't speak, but the gloomy look on his face became more and more serious.After a long while, he asked again: "Tell me, if I ask Mr. Liu to uphold justice for me, can I do it?"

"...Even if Master Zhou is willing, he probably won't be able to do it..." Xiao Xia felt that the questions Tianhe Ghost asked were nonsense, and he should be aware of these things.Even if Liu Junfeng is a shepherd of a state, compared to the Nangong family and Maoshan faction behind He Si'er, the Tang family behind Tang Qingxiao is still nothing.

Tianhe Ghost kept silent.He did know the answers to these questions.

"Where did Brother Tianhe go before? I smelled the smell of wine and meat on you, but where did you go to drink?"

"...I met someone I used to know, and I was invited to drink casually and talk about some things in the past." Tianhe Ghost replied, his fleshy face showed no expression.

"Ah, so that's the case." Xiao Xia suddenly realized and nodded, then said with a sigh. "Brother Tianhe actually doesn't need to worry about this issue. Who can say what is going on in the Jianghu people? How can you know that there will be no turning point in the future? You see, a few days ago you were still trapped in that inn without seeing the sun, and now you are a state shepherd. The guests under the curtain of your lord, smashed the monster in Yongzhou General's Mansion with one punch, and everyone in Qingzhou looked up to you. You may wait for your martial arts to become invincible in the world in the future, and then make invincible achievements. Then Daoist He and the boy of the Tang family will also take the initiative Why should I be so troubled when I come to ask for your forgiveness?"

Although the Tianhe Ghost knew that Xiaoxia was deliberately trying to explain him away, and that what he said was impossible nonsense, after all, there was still a weak smile on the cheeks on his face.He looked at the old Argulis in front of him, and asked, "What does this barbarian old man want to do by going to see Master Liu?"

Speaking of Xiao Xia, he couldn't help but rubbed his forehead: "Old man Ouluo said that Mr. Liu treated the two Hongye Army counselors too lightly, and he insisted on persuading Mr. Liu. He said that he must not deal with this kind of demon cult monster." It is right to kill them all without mercy."

"This barbarian old man is really making trouble for no reason. Mr. Liu is very busy all day long. Why do you have time to listen to his nonsense?" Tianhe ghost snorted, paused and then suddenly asked Xiaoxia: "That's right. What do you think?" Who are the remnants of the Devil's Cult in the General's Mansion?"

"I heard that they are all lunatics." Xiao Xia replied.

After humming, Tianhe Ghost didn't speak any more, but continued to walk forward with a blank expression.

Behind him, Xiaoxia and Mingyue looked at each other, Mingyue slowly shook her head, looking at the back of Tianhe Ghost in front of her thoughtfully

After arriving at Master Zhou's study in Luoshui City's mansion, he waited for a long time before Old Aguris finally arrived at Liu Junfeng.

This is not because Mr. Zhou Shepherd is big enough, but because he is really busy.What the Tianhe ghost said about every day is not just a lie.If you want to compare the busiest people in Luoshui City, Zhou Mu Liu Junfeng is definitely one of them, even busier than many poor people who are running around just to make a living.

The post of state shepherd is called Tianzi Shoumufang, who is in charge of the military and political power of a state. It seems that he is the most top figure in a state, but in fact it is not necessarily the case.Even in the three states of the Central Plains where the imperial court is the most powerful, the imperial court and the government often compromise and secretly deal with the major sects and families. Most of the actions are left to Yingshanwei to carry out secretly, and there are few direct conflicts. When it comes hard.Not to mention Qingzhou, a newly emerging place.

Qingzhou gradually broke away from the hands of the tribes of Xidi, and it took only a few decades to regain its vitality. However, with the opening of the canal going south and the convenience of water transportation, the momentum of business exchanges and prosperity has become more and more prosperous.The benefits derived from it are naturally more and more.In the early years of Qingzhou's rivers and lakes, the bloody battle for the territory was not necessarily less. After it stabilized a little, the major forces poked their tentacles in again.Constantly testing each other and playing games with each other.It can be said that in terms of the complexity and chaos of the Jianghu situation, Qingzhou can be called the first among the nine states in the world.

But it is under such circumstances.Qingzhou's civil affairs did not slow down a bit because of this, but developed extremely rapidly.Liu Junfeng, who is a state shepherd, is one of the most important reasons.It is because of his mediation and intervention among the major forces, to quell disputes and uphold justice, and when something goes wrong, he can decisively suppress it with thunderous means. The selfishness of the sect comes to conduct official business.

As a result, Master Zhou has to deal with countless things every day.Even if Liu Junfeng knows how to use people well and doesn't need to do everything himself, he must personally express his views on some important occasions, and he must personally investigate, judge, and make decisions on some important decisions.It is not uncommon for people to be too busy to touch the ground when there are more affairs, and even the rest time is only two or three hours a day. Anyone who has stayed in Luoshui City for a period of time knows this.

That's why, for such a state herdsman, the old man Argulis would have a lot of admiration, and a reckless person like Tianhe ghost would be willing to take refuge at the first sight.Maybe even someone like Hu Changhai Clan Master would appreciate him sincerely. After all, it is always a good thing to make the place prosperous and everyone have money to earn.

"Master Consul, I know that you are very busy with government affairs, but this matter is indeed very important. Maybe he cannot directly affect and change things, but the impact on things is fundamental... ...You can't be careless and indulgent to those two devil believers, you must do your best to search and destroy them. People's hearts and beliefs are the foundation of all human order, and those cultists will continue to rely on various methods To corrupt people's hearts and desecrate beliefs..."

After listening to Xiaoxia's laborious translation, Liu Junfeng rubbed his forehead with his hands and closed his eyes to think, as if he really had a headache about this problem.After a long while, he nodded, looked at the old man Argulis and said, "People's hearts and beliefs are the foundation of the country. This old man Argulis is right, and he is really insightful."

Xiao Xia, who had been nervous all the time, was taken aback by these words, and she still translated it for Aguris. The old man's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said loudly: "I knew you, the wise consul, would understand, so let's Please......"

But Liu Junfeng didn't wait for Xiao Xia to translate, and said his own words directly: "But for the two people in the Yongzhou Army, I can only do this now. I can't take the initiative to deal with them without the other party first provoking a dispute." of."

"Why...why? Why do you know their harm..."

"As for the reason, it is really complicated and far-reaching. Liu is clumsy in speech and tongue, and is entangled in mundane affairs, so he can't explain it in detail with the old man for a while. But fortunately, a big virtuous elder came to Qingzhou in a few days. He probably I'm also interested in sitting down and discussing with the old man, please ask the old man to ask him." Liu Junfeng said and glanced at Xiao Xia. "Daoist Qingfeng, please don't leave in the next few days, that elder also wants to see you."

"Huh?" Xiao Xia was slightly startled. "I don't know who it is...?"

Liu Junfeng smiled slightly: "Who the hell is that? Let me keep it a secret for now. Daoist Qingfeng doesn't need to worry, and Liu also guarantees that this is definitely not a bad thing. And with him speaking, the little troubles that Daoist Qingfeng worried about are no longer a problem .”

"Thank you, my lord, then I will wait quietly in Luoshui City." Xiao Xia agreed, feeling puzzled.To be able to find out his whereabouts in such a short period of time, and to be able to afford Liu Junfeng's words of a great elder.The identity of this person was unusual, but he vaguely went over everyone he knew and knew in his heart, but none seemed suitable.However, with Liu Junfeng's identity and character, there is absolutely no possibility of framing him. If this elder can really let him wait here until the next sea boat to Yingzhou, and even ask people from Shenshui Palace to escort him, then naturally It couldn't be better.

After conveying Liu Junfeng's words to the old man Aguris, and after a few words of persuasion, Xiao Xia dragged the reluctant old man Aguris away.

Liu Junfeng took a sip of the cold tea on the table.Seeing the Tianhe Ghost who was still guarding the door of the study and not leaving together, he asked, "Is there anything else for the strong Tianhe?"

"Yes." Tianhe Ghost cupped his fists and took a long breath. "The villain has always had something in his heart, and he wants to ask Mr. Liu about something. It's just that he doesn't know how to say it. It's rare for the adult to be free today, so the villain said it. Please don't be offended by the adult."

Liu Junfeng raised his hand: "But it's okay to say."

"This... villain is quite notorious in Jianghu. He once murdered his teacher and betrayed his family. I wonder if my lord knows?"

"I know." Liu Junfeng nodded.This extremely bland tone and demeanor made Tianhe ghost stunned. "Since I invited Mr. Tianhe as a guest behind the scenes, I naturally asked about Mr. Tianhe's past afterwards."

"Then...why is your lord... not afraid that I, a generation of deceitful masters and ancestors, will tarnish your name?"

Liu Junfeng sighed and said: "I sent people to Qingyu Tower to inquire about the news. Naturally, it is much more detailed and practical than ordinary Jianghu rumors. Although the master said that the king is the king, the minister is the father, the son is the son, but first the king is the king. The father is the father. , there is a saying of courtiers. Master Meng also said that he had heard that a man was punished, but he had never heard of killing a king. What the old man Tianhe did is really hard to be called a teacher and a father. You kill him to protect yourself and repay your grievances directly. What is the crime? The people in the rivers and lakes did not know it, and charged you with the unwarranted charge of deceiving your master and destroying your ancestors. I will put those false names in my eyes.”

"Furthermore, Mr. Tianhe, although you bear such a notorious reputation and are puzzled and rejected by the world, you have not relied on your own abilities to commit crimes or turn to help the evildoers indiscriminately. You have intervened in the fights and fights in the rivers and lakes just to make a living. It was the time when Xidi invaded the South, and Tianhe Mr. Wang also fought against Xidi with a group of righteous men in the rivers and lakes, killed dozens of Xidi savages, and rescued hundreds of people. Such a mighty and unyielding, poor and humble man is a real man. Liu respectfully called 'Mr. It's not to be polite, but because Mr. Tianhe really deserves it."

"My lord... my lord..." Tianhe Ghost finally couldn't help showing excitement on his always gloomy face. Liu Junfeng's words made him feel that many years of grievances seemed to be resolved at once. All the suffocation and suffering that I had felt had meaning, and the comfort in my heart suddenly became indescribable, and even the haze that had been pressing on my heart before was dispelled a lot.

A scholar dies for his confidant.For a moment, Tianhe Ghost had this feeling in his heart.In the past, when he heard about this thing from the rumors of cihua, novels, rivers and lakes on the stage, he was quite disdainful, thinking that it was just to trick some ignorant teenagers or fools who had just entered the rivers and lakes, but the surging feeling in his chest at this moment is the most important thing. Let him understand that it turns out that he really has such feelings and impulses.

"Thank you for your love!" After taking two deep breaths, Tianhe Ghost managed to suppress the excitement in his heart.Although Liu Junfeng's words had a great impact on him, he still did not forget the question he really wanted to ask. "Then, the villain has something in his mind that he doesn't understand, and I hope the adults can give me some advice."

"Please say."

"Do you think there is justice in this world?"

"Yes, and no." Liu Junfeng looked at Tianhe Ghost. "If it is said that good and evil must be rewarded, let alone karma, karma, debt, heaven, fate, etc., and only talk about fairness and justice in the world, then probably there is no such thing. Mr. Tianhe I must have seen a lot of experience in Jianghu."

"Yes." Tianhe Ghost nodded. "Then why did your lord say there is?"

"If not, why are Mr. Tianhe and I standing here?" Liu Junfeng smiled lightly, his tired face was full of vicissitudes. "If there is no justice, why did Mr. Tianhe risk his life to fight against Xidi? If there is no justice, why should I let this Qingzhou state shepherd be busy all day? If it is true that some ignorant people think that people will not be killed for themselves, everyone will It is only for self-interest, when everyone meets, they can only guard against plotting, killing and plundering. All living beings in this world are just countless poisonous insects who only know how to kill each other and devour each other. Everywhere in Qiaodu is full of vitality, how come this country’s imperial court, where does this endlessly passed down orthodox culture come from?”

"Perhaps the justice of heaven and earth has its own reason. Treating all things as dogs is not something that can be judged only by our distinction between good and evil. We don't need to worry about other beings in the world of mortals. What we can ask for is only what we want in our hearts. Fairness, its own fairness. And that fairness does exist.”

After a long while of silence, the Tianhe ghost asked: "Then, my lord, my third brother was accidentally killed by He Si'er, the daughter of Maoshan He's teacher. In fact, the deaths of my second, fourth, and fifth brothers can all be regarded as being implicated by her. I How can I seek justice? Can I seek justice?"

ps: Hey, it's always hard to get back the state of the codeword.

ps2: There is no responsibility to push the book time, "Dota Death Academy", the gold finger is not obvious, the upgrade is reasonable, and there is no poisonous point that cannot be overcome. It is really very good to see as a Dota fan (to be continued...)
