Evergreen Immortal.

"General."

"Sir."

The five garrisons of An Ning Guard had heard the news and were waiting outside the general's mansion.

In addition to Ning Zhongtian, Lu Jun, and Feng Yu, there was a middle-aged general named Guan Xinrong, and a young man who looked like a scholar, Duan Yu.

Cao Wei was the first to dismount.

He didn't even look at the remaining people and went straight to Feng Yu and Guan Xinrong.

"Tell me, what happened?"

As he spoke, he walked into the general's mansion.

Ning Zhongtian and the other two had no intention of following him.

Since the Great Demon Rebellion.

Cao Wei took charge of everything and didn't let them get involved in the affairs of the Ghost Cult.

The ghost demon appeared.

It was most likely that the Ghost Cult was behind it. Even if they went, Cao Wei would not let them intervene.

At this time.

Jiang Linxian jumped off the horse.

"Xiao Duan, I went to Yunzhou this time and saw your father. He was still as charming as ever."

Duan Yu raised his lips: "Lord Jiang, my father also came to Yunzhou?"

Jiang Linxian smiled and nodded: "Lord Duan happened to come to Yunzhou this time for military affairs."

Military affairs is the term used by the court to assess military officers, which is conducted every three years.

In addition, there are Jingcha and Daji.

Daji assesses foreign officials, which are officials outside the capital.

The assessment of Beijing officials is called Jingcha, which is different from Daji.

The Yu Kingdom has a vast territory.

It is unrealistic to ask officials from all over the country to report to the capital. Only officials above the third rank are required. The others are assessed by imperial envoys selected by the emperor on behalf of the emperor's will.

The imperial envoy who presided over the military affairs of Annan Town this time was Duan Yu's father, Duan Qian, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, who was a third rank official.

There is a misunderstanding among the world.

That is, the Shangshu and the Shilang are in a superior-subordinate relationship. In fact, this statement is problematic.

The Shangshu and the Shilang are both hall officials, but with different ranks.

In theory, the assistant minister can meet the emperor directly without listening to the minister.

But in practice, the assistant minister often does not do things to the extreme, which makes people mistakenly think that the minister is the superior of the assistant minister, which is not the case.

As long as the official can see the emperor, he cannot be easily offended.

Duan Yu relied on his father's relationship to get a good job in Anningwei.

Ning Zhongtian and Lu Jun looked at each other.

Tsk tsk.

It's good to have someone behind you. Jiang Linxian has to greet him personally.

Ning Zhongtian saw the opportunity and took the opportunity to speak: "Lord Jiang, the matter of the Ghost Sect."

Jiang Linxian glanced at the lobby of the general's mansion with a smile: "Since General Cao wants to manage, let him manage it."

"Yes!"

With Jiang Linxian's words, Ning Zhongtian naturally let it go.

Jiang Linxian's heart moved slightly.

Now is the year of military and political affairs.

Of course, the assessment will not end so quickly. He is a soldier, and he only needs to complete his supervisory duties. But Cao Wei is different. If the Ghost Cult in his jurisdiction makes too much trouble, he will definitely be held accountable, and the pressure is huge.

He knows Cao Wei's thoughts very well.

The previous demon chaos was most likely caused by the search for the Ghost Cult's magic to please the fifth prince.

This is undoubtedly something that Jiang Linxian cannot tolerate.

To be precise, it is the Lord of the Dragon Court who cannot tolerate it.

If Cao Wei does not change after repeated teachings, then he can only take this little Lord Duan to see his father whom he has not seen for a long time, and talk about Cao Wei's affairs by the way.

I believe that the imperial envoy sent by the emperor will definitely stand on their side.

"What are these people doing outside?"

Li Rui looked at the soldiers coming in and out of the military camp.

During this period.

Cao Wei kept sending people out to search the mountain.

Hearing a lot of complaints.

Ge Hong gloated: "Of course, we are going to find the ghost monster that broke into the guard post. I heard that the military and political envoys have learned about this and ordered General Cao to arrest him within a time limit."

The purpose of An Ning Guard in Qinghe was for the emperor to show his determination to kill the Ghost Sect.

As a result, the Ghost Sect has not been destroyed yet, and the ghosts raised by the Ghost Sect have run into the base camp of An Ning Guard to make trouble. This is simply a slap in the face of the court and the emperor.

How can we tolerate it?

"Fortunately, it has nothing to do with us."

They are Jiang Linxian's people, not to mention that Cao Wei may not be able to command them.

Even if he can give orders, he is worried that they will interfere, and he is not at ease to leave such things to them.

So he and Li Rui are happy to be free.

Li Rui's heart moved slightly.

Ghost monster?

The ghost monsters turned into blood and flowed deep underground to feed earthworms.

How could Cao Wei have thought that the ghost monster he was looking for with great fanfare had already been killed by Li Rui in the tunnel.

Li Rui simply couldn't bring himself to say this.

All efforts were doomed to be in vain.

Ge Hong: "Brother Li, do you think the ghost is still in Qinghe?"

Li Rui analyzed seriously: "Nine out of ten have already fled to other counties. It will be difficult for General Cao to catch him!"

It's none of my business.

Li Rui and Ge Hong quickly changed the subject.

"Brother Li, how is your Feilong in Tiantu training?"

"Just so."

Li Rui's answer was completely within Ge Hong's expectations.

Do you really think that geniuses are everywhere?

The number of people who can cultivate Qi in the eighth rank is less than one tenth of the number of warriors in the Liujin realm. Without exception, they are all geniuses in the major sects.

Li Rui is a 70-year-old man. If he wanted to practice, he would have done it long ago. Why did he have to wait until now?

"No chance."

Ge Hong certainly would not speak out his inner thoughts: "Brother Li, I have learned something from observing the \u003cHundred Swords Slaying Demons\u003e these days, and the bottleneck has loosened. Maybe I will be able to break through in a few days."

"This is a great joy."

Ge Hong is now 42 or 43 years old.

He has stayed in the Bronze Bone Realm for more than ten years.

As the saying goes, a tree that is moved dies, but a person who moves lives.

He has been the owner of the Iron Sword Martial Arts Hall for more than ten years, but he has hardly made any progress. After leaving the martial arts hall, he showed signs of a breakthrough.

Ge Hong was in a very good mood: "Brother Li, when you comprehend the true qi, you and I will enter the realm of willow tendons together, and we will be praised in the world of Qinghe."

Li Rui smiled and shook his head:

"I am old, I just want to have fun, you really take it seriously."

Ge Hong encouraged: "In ancient times, there were saints who realized the truth at the age of seventy and then became saints. Brother Li will definitely be able to do the same. An old horse is still ambitious!"

Li Rui: "Although the tortoise is long-lived, it still has its end. I am old and useless. I still have to rely on you good young people."

Ge Hong couldn't persuade him anymore.

After all, he felt that persuading him further would seem false.

He saw that saint in the wild history.

How wild is the wild history.

Let's just say that.

It also wrote that the last emperor of the previous dynasty had six eyes, eight legs, a green face and fangs.

That thing is still a human.

Fake at first glance.

Therefore, Ge Hong also felt that the old saint who was enlightened at the age of 70 and passed down to later generations was probably fabricated, or the result of deliberate exaggeration by later generations in order to elevate their ancestors.

"Brother Li, why don't we compete to see who breaks through first and then treat us to a drink."

Li Rui chuckled: "If you want to drink, just say so, the old man will treat you."

After that, the two smiled at each other.

In the same situation and with similar experiences, the two became friends regardless of age.

It's really a friendship regardless of age.

Ge Hong is only 45, and Li Rui is already 72.

In Yu State, if the speed is faster, Li Rui can be Ge Hong's grandfather.

Ge Hong's eyes became firm:

"Brother Li, Qinghe should also have a seventh-grade master!"

There are of course seventh-grade masters in Qinghe City.

But there is no seventh-grade master from Qinghe, and this situation has lasted for seven or eight years.

The last seventh-grade master.

It was Ge Hong's master, and he wanted to continue his master's life for another fifty years.

Half a month passed.

Cao Wei certainly couldn't find the ghosts and monsters that broke into the military camp. He made a lot of noise and finally returned empty-handed.

Jiang Linxian certainly wouldn't be polite.

He really took Little Duan to Yunzhou.

I heard that they were finally stopped by Cao Wei on the official road. The specific process is unknown. In the end, Jiang Linxian and Little Duan returned to Qinghe with a smile.

"Our Lord Cao must have shed a lot of blood. In the end, even the fifth prince took action, and this matter was reduced to a small matter."

Wei Ming said with a beaming face.

This time, Cao Wei fell into a big fall.

At least it will be quiet for half a year.

In the military camp, Cao Ming's faction walked with their heads down.

"It's really proud."

Ge Hong also said happily: "It's a pity that those people from the Zhang family ran away, otherwise I really want to see how they look now!"

When it comes to the Zhang family.

Wei Ming sighed.

"I also dealt with Zhang Hao in the past. He was also a well-known figure. I didn't expect him to die like this."

Ge Hong is from Qinghe.

He knows the power of the second master of the Zhang family better.

"Things in the world are unpredictable. Be careful."

Wei Ming is the same as Zhang Hao. They are both seventh-grade. Zhang Hao will die suddenly, and so will he.

The rise of martial arts has always been difficult and dangerous.

Li Rui nodded: "You have to be more careful."

Wei Ming also nodded in agreement: "Qinghe now is not like when I first came. It is really a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons are everywhere. I heard that a deputy leader of Mingguang Sect has come. He is a sixth-grade one."

Ge Hong took a breath of cold air.

Wow.

Sixth-grade.

The Tiandi League is so big. Before Ning Zhongtian broke through, the highest was the peak of the seventh-grade.

Now in Qinghe City, the number of sixth-grade masters is probably more than five fingers.

There may even be stronger ones lurking.

Since the construction of the new city, more and more foreign forces have moved to Qinghe, and their strength is also terrifying.

Although the Qinghe branch has sent Tang Sheng to take charge in person.

Now it seems that they are not qualified.

"The abyss raises dragons, Brother Wei, Brother Ge, this is a great opportunity."

Li Rui said with a smile.

Wei Ming was immediately happy when he heard it: "Brother Li, what you said is very reasonable. Shallow water is full of turtles. The deeper the water, the greater our chances."

This truth is very simple.

The more powerful people there are in Qinghe, the more resources will be gathered.

The most direct.

Before, the seventh-grade elixir was already very rare, but now, after the Danwangfang was annexed by Qingfeng Villa, it even sells sixth-grade elixir.

Why is it difficult for Qinghe to produce even a seventh-grade elixir.

Is it because of the lack of people?

That is only one aspect, and more importantly, it is because of insufficient resources. It can be predicted that the masters of Qinghe will definitely grow like mushrooms after rain.

It is even possible to rival the atmosphere of Anning Mansion.

Although this situation is rare, it has also happened in Yu State.

The big dragon An Ningwei had turned the small pond of Qinghe into an abyss.

Li Rui thought to himself.

“Good fortune and bad fortune are interdependent, only self-improvement can save us!”
