Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 204 Zeng Yu's Resentment
Zeng Xiangguo returned to the mansion with a gloomy expression on his face. He only drank half a bowl of rice porridge before returning to the study.

Ever since the violent vomiting in the palace, Ceng Yu has not fully recovered, and he cannot drink or eat meat, and can only eat some liquid food that warms the stomach and intestines every day, making Ceng Yu's body weaker and weaker.

But there is no way, he doesn't want to eat meat now, and since he vomited, he feels nauseous when he sees greasy things.

The root of the disease has fallen.

Looking at the candlelight in a daze, Qin Guan was promoted to an official again. At first, he thought that driving him to the backcountry of Xiongzhou, where the bitter cold was at the border, and being suppressed by his own disciples, his life must be very difficult.

But he also read today's memorial, and he didn't expect that Qin Guan would be very popular in Xiongzhou.

No, you have to suppress him, and you can't give him a chance to raise his head.

Immediately spread out a piece of rice paper, wrote a letter, called the servants, and sent it to Dayuan Mansion as soon as possible.

Qin Guan didn't know what was happening in the capital thousands of miles away. He was discussing with Xiong Da Xiong Er which group of bandits to attack next.

Xiong Da said: "The bandits on a large scale now only have Muya Village, Tianwang Mountain and Golden-headed Eagle. We don't know where the Golden-headed Eagle horse bandits are stationed. We have already sent people to investigate. The situation of Muya Village and Tianwang Mountain has been cleared." clear."

"There are about 300 people in Muya Village, and more than 400 people in Tianwang Mountain. Young master, which one should we fight first?"

Qin looked at the topographical map and said, "Anyway, they will be wiped out, whichever is closest will be hit first."

At this moment, a notification came from outside the door.

A scribe came in, held a letter in both hands and handed it to Qin Guan, "My lord, a letter from Xiongzhou."

Qin Guan took it and opened it, and found that it was a letter written by Xu Tongpan, telling Qin Guan that the time for this year's imperial examination is up, and the admiral Xuezheng Shitong has arrived in Xiongzhou, and he regrets not seeing Qin Guan.

Xu Tongpan asked Qin Guan when he would go back, and he needed to preside over the Xiongzhou Court Examination.

Thinking of Shi Tong, Qin Guan shuddered for no reason.

That old rabbit, pulling himself back then, insisted on having a long talk with him before falling asleep.

I also lied to myself several calligraphy.

He didn't go to the seven or eight prefectures of Dayuan Prefecture, but insisted on coming to Xiongzhou. It seemed that he still didn't want to let himself go. Just now, Qin Guan was thinking that he had been out to suppress bandits for a month. Should he go back to Xiongzhou to rest? I can't go back here.

Immediately wrote a letter and asked the clerk to send someone back, telling Xu Qing to entertain Shi Xuezheng well and arrange the examination work. Now is the critical moment for him to suppress the bandits. If he can't go back, everything can be arranged by Shi Tong .

As soon as the scribe took the letter and left, someone outside informed him again.

It was a junior who came in, and after giving a military salute, the junior said: "Master Zhifu, there are people outside the barracks who claim to be Mu Yazhai, and they want to see Mr. Zhifu, but we have controlled them."

Qin Guan was taken aback, Mu Yazhai was still discussing how to exterminate them just now, but now he sent someone to see him.

Xiong Da asked: "How many people, what's their background?"

"Just one person came, in his 30s, he claimed to be the third head of Muya Village, and his name was Cui Fang." Xiaoxiao replied.

Qin Guan thought for a while, "Bring him to see me."

Cui Fang was escorted into the big tent by several Xiang troops, and when he saw Qin Guan in the red robe and official uniform on the front seat, he knelt down.

"Cui Fang, the criminal, has met the magistrate."

Qin looked at the 30-year-old man in front of him. He had an ordinary appearance, slightly high cheekbones, and a resolute appearance, and asked, "What do you want to see me?"

Cui Fang hurriedly said: "My lord, I am here on behalf of Muya village to surrender, and I hope that my lord will give the 500 old and young people in Muya village a way to survive."

"My lord, in fact, our Muya village is not a bandit, but because of the pressure of life, we guard the mountain. During the Shenzong Dynasty, there were officials who imposed heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Finally, they couldn't afford it, so they brought people into the mountain."

Listening to his story, Qin Guan asked, "Don't tell me you didn't do any robbery."

The third master lowered his head, "My lord, we did rob merchants, but we didn't hurt the poor people, nor did we make enemies of the officials, just to survive, my lord, we are willing to surrender, and only hope that your lord can spare the old and the young. "

Qin Guan thought for a while and said: "If you want to live, you can, but you must show sincerity. Tomorrow, I will see everyone in Muya Village appear in Bailipo."

Qin Guan didn't make any guarantees, and then let the third master go back.

That night, the people in Muya village were sleepless all night. The current head of the village, Ji Rugang, the son of the original old head of the village, called all the people in charge of the village to discuss and decide the future fate of the village.

The second master said: "Brother, the magistrate only said that we should surrender, but if we are all killed by then, we will not die unjustly, so we might as well fight them, or simply go to Liao Kingdom."

Cui Fang, the third master, said: "We can't run away. For the sake of the old and the young, we can only fight."

The people below have different opinions, and Ji Rugang is also very entangled. He doesn't want to go to the Liao Kingdom, but if the government doesn't let them go, it will hurt everyone.

"Okay, you all go down, I'm thinking about it."

Everyone else went out, Ji Rugang sat on a chair, rested his forehead with his hand, closed his eyes slightly and thought about the future.

Sleepless all night.

At dawn the next day, all Muya villages were mobilized, and more than 500 men, women and children rushed to Bailipo. Ji Rugang bet that the government would spare them.

When they came to Bailipo, the people in Muya village found that the officers and soldiers had lined up and waited there.

This month's battle has transformed the original peasant soldier into an army, which is very different from a month ago.

Looking at the cottage, there are men, women, old and young, all with terrified expressions on their faces, no different from a group of refugees.

Ji Rugang made up his mind and rode towards the army. When he got close to the army, he saw a young face in the direction of the chief general, a man in casual clothes, surrounded by several generals wearing general armor. Only the magistrate is the only one who wears civilian clothes in the army.

Ji Rugang got off his horse, walked up to him and knelt down on one knee, "The criminal, Ji Rugang, brought Muya Village 518 to surrender."

After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Qin Guan with a calm face.

Qin Guandao: "How do you think I should deal with you?"

Ji Rugang gritted his teeth and said, "Just please let the old and the young in Muya village go, I will wait for the criminals and let the adults deal with it."

Qin Guandao: "You can see the way forward, so I will give you a chance. All the old and young will move to live in Xiongzhou City, and those who can fight will join the Xiang Army."

After hearing this, Ji Rugang was ecstatic, looked up at Qin Guan, and said in disbelief, "Really, my lord."

"Why, you don't want to."

"Yes, yes, from now on, Ji Rugang will be encouraged by the magistrate."
