Cultivation of immortals, the beginning of cultivating demons for ten years

Chapter 144 Assassinated on the way
The north gate of Qingyang Mansion.

A white-clothed scholar with a bookcase on his back handed in the customs clearance document and entered Fucheng.

The white-clothed scholar has a tall figure, a face like a crown of jade, and an extraordinary bearing. His every move reveals elegance and suaveness.

He has a pair of clear and gentle eyes, which seem to reflect the stars and the sea, deep and charming.

There is always a smile on the corner of his mouth, which makes people feel warm and friendly.

Seeing him, you know what is a dragon and a phoenix, what is handsome and romantic.

The white clothes walked all the way, causing many young ladies to look at him secretly. Some women suddenly fell into the arms of the white clothes while walking. When they were helped up, they blushed and thanked him, saying that their home was nearby. Let Bai Yi go home to drink saliva.

in the bookcase.

A pot of bean sprouts is a shrunken bean demon.

A fire lamp is a shrinking flame spirit.

Douzi: "These human women are really ashamed. They just threw themselves on the master. It's too shameful."

Flame Elf: "I can't help it, who made our master look like a peerless beauty, it's easy to attract bees and butterflies!"

"This sister, if you have something important to do next, don't go home and talk about your sister."

After declining the invitation of the beautiful woman, Yan Ping continued to move forward.

Ah, this scholar is not only handsome, but also has such a pleasant voice.

The beautiful woman stood on the street, staring at the white clothes going away, feeling regretful in her heart, why did she get married so early, if she didn't get married, she would have to pursue it no matter what, with her beautiful figure There is definitely a chance to win this white-clothed scholar.

Pity.

The beautiful woman contemptuously glanced at those shy ladies who secretly looked at the white-clothed scholars, just to see what was the use, she had to take the initiative to attack, such a good man, if my wife was still your age, she would definitely not let him escape Five Fingers Mountain.

After politely rejecting the beauties all the way, Yan Ping finally came to the gate of the Beast King's mansion.

Compared with ten years ago, the gate of the Beast King's Mansion has not changed. If I insist, there are some traces of time.

After becoming a practitioner, his memory is very good. Among the two guards guarding the door, one Yan Ping had met ten years ago, and the other was a newcomer.

What he saw and heard along the way gave Yan Ping a certain understanding of the territory ruled by the Beast King. The city is bustling with commerce and trade, there are no beggars on the streets, and no idlers who run into thieves, which is enough to show that Li Jianyu, the Beast King Capable, at least under his nose, there is no one who dares to commit crimes.

It's no wonder that ten years later, it was able to rise from No. 36 and eight among the 20 princes to No. 19 today.

Li Jianyu, the beast king, is still capable and has real power, unlike some princes who are completely puppets of the forces behind them.

It's just that ten years have passed, and I don't know if he still remembers the agreement back then.

Yan Ping stared at the king of the beast king's mansion. When his thoughts diverged, Lao Jia, the guard, also kept staring at him.

"Brother Jia, why are you staring at that white-clothed scholar all the time? You must be kind to me, but don't tell me, this white-clothed scholar is really handsome. I've never seen a more handsome scholar than him. "

Old Jia said: "What nonsense are you talking about? If I am good at that, I will take you to the Zuihualou to drink flower wine every now and then! I just feel that this white-clothed scholar looks familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere before."

Yan Ping withdrew his thoughts, but noticed Lao Jia's gaze, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Guard Jia, I haven't seen you for ten years, but you are still so powerful."

Ten years, ten years no see.

Lao Jia suddenly widened his eyes, pointed at Yan Ping and said, "You, you are that Mr. Yan."

Mr. Yan, the only scholar who refused His Royal Highness the Beast King's official appointment back then, was also the most handsome among many scholars, so he was so impressed.

So much so that ten years later, he still has a little memory.

When Yan Ping recognized him, he also recognized Yan Ping.

"Guard Jia, please inform His Royal Highness the Beast King that an old friend is visiting."

"Okay, I'll go right away, Mr. Yan wait a moment."

Beast King's Mansion, Li Jianyu's study.

"Brother-in-law, my good friend is unparalleled in talent and love, and he is also a Confucian monk from Qingguo Academy, why can't he be the prefect."

The young man in green was puzzled, his good friend was born in the Qing Dynasty and was also a scholar of literacy, so why couldn't he be the magistrate.

Li Jianyu put down his pen, admired his calligraphy, and said: "I also sent someone to inquire about that friend of yours. He is a Confucianism cultivator who was kicked out of the academy. He even had the nerve to recommend it to me.”

"Brother-in-law, Qinglin has reformed himself now, just give him a chance. If he really can't do a good job, you are dismissing him. I will boast that I will help him find a job with you." , if it doesn't work out, I lose face!"

Li Jianyu said: "My brother-in-law, it's not that I don't give you face, but that there is one and only one vacancy for the post of magistrate under my rule now, and you know that the post of prefect that came out of this vacancy is an agreement between me and one person." , I, Li Jianyu, have kept my promise all my life, and I will never go back on what I promised others, so don’t think about your friend being the magistrate, if he is willing, I can make him a magistrate.”

"Brother-in-law, the county magistrate is too young. Besides, the person you agreed with hasn't appeared in ten years. Maybe he died in that corner. What's the point of waiting any longer?"

Li Jianyu smiled and said: "He is not dead. There is also an expert by my side. When I handed over the magistrate's seal back then, the aura left by that person on the seal has not dissipated these years, which shows that he is still alive. How can I break my promise before I die. If you promise the prefect position to your friend, he will arrive on the back foot, and you tell me how to deal with it."

"Brother-in-law, is it really not possible?"

Li Jianyu said: "No, this is the principle of my life."

"You don't have to go to your sister to cry and intercede. It's useless for her to intercede in this matter."

"But, but I have..."

Knock knock knock ~~~~~!

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Lao Jia pushed the door open and entered, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Yan who refused your appointment ten years ago is here."

Li Jianyu was overjoyed and said, "Where is the man?"

Speaking of the group of candidates recruited back then, the scholar was Yan Ping who impressed him the most.

The magistrate, a fourth-rank official, even a first-ranked Jinshi would have to work in the officialdom for seven or eight years before he had the chance to take up the post.

And under his rule, as long as a scholar can be a magistrate of any place, this kind of temptation is extremely attractive to Jinshi, let alone a poor scholar.However, such a poor scholar actually refused the position of magistrate, which shattered his three views.

Even though many excellent scholars have joined his forces in the past ten years, and there are many amazing talents among them, what he looks forward to the most is still the scholar Yan surnamed who rejected the high-ranking officials and generous salary.

If I remember correctly, that person should be called Yan Ping.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Mr. Yan is outside the gate of the mansion right now."

"Take him in quickly, forget it, I will go by myself."

Li Jianyu walked out of the study and strode towards the door of the mansion.

My brother-in-law also followed.

He wanted to see how divine this scholar who had been missed by his brother-in-law for ten years was.

Yan Ping waited quietly outside the mansion gate.

Not long after, I saw a tall, middle-aged man with red and purple luck on his head striding forward.

Li Jianyu has no cultivation qualifications and has never set foot in cultivation. In addition to the busy affairs these years, he is getting old faster. He is only in his early thirties, just like a middle-aged person in his 40s.

However, looking at his walking posture, the fast and steady pace shows that his body is still quite strong, and it is not a problem to live to a hundred years without disease or disaster.

Yan Ping's appearance is the same as ten years ago, the only difference is his temperament, which is more calm and introverted, gentle as jade, and his words are like a gentleman, nothing more than that.

Li Jianyu recognized Yan Ping at a glance, stepped forward with a big smile, and said, "Mr. Yan, I haven't seen you for ten years, and you are even more handsome than before!"

"His Royal Highness Beast King, it's rare that His Highness Beast King still remembers me."

Yan Ping cupped his hands slightly.

"Mr. Yan, please, I haven't seen you in ten years, let's have a drink."

"His Royal Highness Beastmaster, please."

The two entered the Beast King's Mansion together, and the brother-in-law hurried over, just in time to see the two talking and laughing.

This is the talent my brother-in-law has been waiting for for ten years.

Looking at Yan Ping, who is unparalleled in style and out of this world, my brother-in-law felt a sense of jealousy for no reason.

How could there be such a peerless man in the world.

He himself is a well-known handsome man in Qingyang Mansion, known as the Jade Face Little Flying Dragon, but compared to this Yan Ping, he is much inferior. This Yan Ping is dressed in fluttering white clothes, he is like an exiled immortal.

Beast King's Mansion, the living room.

Li Jianyu beckoned Yan Ping to sit down, waved for a maid and said, "Notify the kitchen to bring some appetizers."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After the maid left, Li Jianyu took out good tea and boiled it with clear water.

"Mr. Yan, the food and drink are being prepared, let's have some tea first."

"His Royal Highness Beast King is really too polite."

Li Jianyu's courteous corporal doesn't seem to be pretending, he should be such a person usually.

It's no wonder that the forces under his command have developed so well in the past few years. With such a lord, the people below are so desperate to serve the lord to death!

"I don't know where the husband has been for the past ten years?"

Li Jianyu poured Yan Ping a cup of tea.

"Traveling around the world, I have been to the Qingfu Dynasty, and I have also been to the Dafeng Kingdom."

"Qingfu Dynasty, Dafeng Kingdom, Mr. Yan has traveled to many places, unlike me, I have never even been out of Dazhou Kingdom in my life."

"His Royal Highness has the ambition of the world. He has been busy governing his territory these years, so how can an idler like me be comparable to him?"

Yan Ping holds a handful of Li Jianyu in his hands.

No bragging, this guy is really good at being the king of beasts.

Drinking tea and chatting, Yan Ping has a lot of experience now. When chatting with Li Jianyu, he can talk a lot, even some questions that Li Jianyu deliberately asked, such as how to manage a place, can also be discussed.

After all, it took him half a year to build the Zhushan Mansion in Zhushan, and he can be regarded as a person with experience in civil servants.

The food and wine were served quickly.

They were all home-cooked snacks, eating and drinking, and the two finally got to the point.

Li Jianyu smiled and said: "Sir, you must have the ability to be a magistrate when you come this time!"

Yan Ping said: "It's so-so, I should be able to do it, but I don't know if His Highness the Beast King still has an official position for me."

Li Jianyu smiled, and asked someone to go to his study to get a box covered with red silk.

Li Jianyu opened the box, and inside was a set of fourth-rank civil official uniforms, with a big seal on the official uniforms.

"The big seal of the prefect of Chunjiang Prefecture. This Chunjiang Prefecture is located in the south of the Yangtze River. It has a large population and is rich. There are countless wealthy families in this place. The forces of all parties are intricate. I, the Beastmaster, is only a manager in name. Many orders come to Chunjiang Prefecture. It’s a false pretense, how dare you take over such a one-official land.”

"Why don't you dare."

Yan Ping put the official uniform and big seal into the bookcase, and said: "Within a year, His Highness will definitely give back a Spring River Mansion under his control."

"Haha, wait and see."

at the same time.

Qingyang Mansion, Spring Inn.

After Li Jianyu's brother-in-law left the palace, he came here immediately and told his friends about the incident.

"Yan Ping, a scholar, he is a Confucian monk."

Li Shaojie asked.

"It should be, but the realm is not high, not even a Jinshi of Wendan, at most, the cultivation base of the seven or eight levels of grandiose Qi training."

"What did your brother-in-law say?"

"Hey, what else can I say, my brother-in-law is the one who promises the most, the prefect of Chunjiang Mansion must belong to Yan Ping."

Li Shaojie nodded and said: "I understand, as long as this Yan Ping dies, the position of Chunjiang Mansion should be in my pocket."

"Shaojie, this Yan Ping is someone my brother-in-law valued. If you kill him, I'm afraid it will attract my brother-in-law's attention!"

"As long as I do it without anyone noticing, no one will suspect me."

He who was kicked out of the academy is now a casual cultivator, and there are too many places asking for money, so he has to find a way out for himself.

Chunjiang Mansion is extremely rich, if he can serve as the magistrate of Shangchunjiang Mansion, he won't have to worry about cultivation resources.

Yan Ping didn't stay in Qingyang Mansion for too long, he stayed in Beast King's Mansion for one night, and went to Wenshui to visit Tie Mulan the next day, and stayed in Shui Mansion for a day.

Then he took a boat down Wenshui River to the south of the Yangtze River and went to Chunjiang Mansion.

Passenger ships sail on the Wenshui River.

In the guest room, Yan Ping made tea with clear water, and the flame spirit hid under the teapot to control the heat.

Dou Zi was playing with Mo Longqun.

Two days later, the passenger ship left Wenshui and entered Chunjiang.

The Spring River Mansion is located in the south of the Great Zhou, and its wealth ranks eighth among the 32 mansions in the South of the Great Zhou.

It is named after the Spring River that runs through the whole prefecture.

Yan Ping stood on the deck, looking at the mighty Chunjiang going away, a map of Chunjiang Mansion appeared in his mind.

The nearest county is Qingfeng County.

Go to Qingfeng County first.

Yan Ping left the deck and was about to go back to the guest room, when suddenly a young man with a dagger rushed out from the side.

Without saying a word, he stabbed Yan Ping in the chest with a dagger.

The dagger was fixed one foot in front of Yan Ping's chest, as if stuck in a wall of air, unable to move.

Yan Ping slapped the assassin.

With a splash, the assassin vomited blood and fell into the spring river.

This is already the third assassination that Yan Ping encountered after leaving Qingyang Mansion.

He could be sure that he had not had any bad feelings with the people on the passenger ship.

There is only one possibility, and that is that someone has taken a fancy to the prefect position of Chunjiang Mansion and wants to replace him.
