Ninth Grade Jailer: He actually went on a blind date with the leader of the Demon Cult at the beginn

"Brother Zian, you are back. What did you find at the bottom of the lake?"

As soon as Li Nuo climbed ashore and his clothes hadn't even been dried yet, Ashina eagerly came up to him and asked curiously.

Li Nuo used his inner strength slightly to dry the clothes and joked: "Are you so curious?"

Ashina nodded hurriedly and stared at him with wide eyes, looking very curious about knowledge.

Li Nuo smiled and said: "There is a very, very powerful old man imprisoned at the bottom of this lake."

"Ah? Someone is imprisoned at the bottom of the lake? Is he very powerful?"

Ashi cast his eyes towards the center of the lake, covered his mouth and said, "Then how powerful is he? Is he stronger than you, brother Zian?"

"Much stronger than me. As for how strong he is, let me think about it... Well, if this old man was in his prime, he should be more powerful than the first-class land god Yuan Tiangang."

Li Nuo thought for a moment, how ferocious the sword demon was? We can only compare it with the world's number one land god.

Ashina couldn't help but open her mouth in disbelief.

More powerful than land gods?

Then why are we still trapped by a mere Xuanwu Lake?

"What, you don't believe it?"

Li Nuo smiled.

Ashina widened his eyes and asked: "Brother Zian, did you really not lie to me? Since he is so powerful, why is he still imprisoned at the bottom of the lake? With a first-level cultivation, he can wave his sleeve casually, this Xuanwu Will the lake have to be torn apart?”

She didn't know how strong Yuan Tiangang was.

But the ancestor of Wushan could turn the Baili Mountains into a red land with just a few clicks.

She had seen it with her own eyes!

And the ancestor is only a second-level Great Witch King! I guess he is not as good as a first-grade land immortal.

From this we can deduce how terrifying the old man at the bottom of the lake must be!

Li Nuo lamented: "Of course nothing in the world can suppress him. He was imprisoned voluntarily to repent for the mistakes he made in the past."

Li Nuo didn't know whether Sword Demon killed his wife, but in any case, the master's wife died because of Sword Demon's master...

In fact, counting the time, Master Sword Demon should be 550 years old at this time.

In today's world, the only one who can live longer than him, and who can barely be considered a figure of the same era as him, is the one who chants sutras in Lingshan.

Others, like Yuan Tiangang, Dugu Feixue and others, are all juniors!

"What did he do wrong? To torture himself like this?"

A trace of unbearability flashed in Ashina's eyes.

This old man imprisoned himself at the bottom of the lake. There must be no one to talk to him. Isn't this too pitiful?

She couldn't stand a day without someone to talk to.

Or should we say that all the most powerful people in the world can endure loneliness?

What's the point of living like this?

"Everyone has their own choice. Let's stop asking about the old man's affairs. Let's go back first."

Li Nuo and Ashi then boarded the carriage and returned to the city.

Although the sword demon master promised to help him, he still had to go back and make preparations.

At least the mountain people and villagers near Xuanwu Lake must move to the city to avoid being affected by the fish pond.

After all, swords have no eyes.

Since he has decided to defend Yingtian Mansion, he cannot ignore the lives of the people.

…

Five days later.

Under Yingtian City.

The setting sun is tilted.

A large group of plainly dressed people, carrying large and small bags, dragging their families, and some even driving old cows, walked intermittently towards the city.

They walked in silence, with some fear on their faces.

After all, this is Yingtian Mansion!

As native villagers, most of them have never even entered the city in their lives.

When they first saw such towering city walls, bluestone streets, and noble gentry in rich robes, they became even more nervous.

Of course, there were expressions of curiosity on the immature faces of those children, looking around and around, looking at this city that was simply a dream to them.

"Dad, is that the city gate? It's so big!"

"Aniang, that building is really high, higher than the village chief's home."

"Sister, look, that person's clothes are so beautiful!"

The children asked questions and were very interested. For them, the door to another world opened before them.

When the people in the city saw the arrival of these mud-legged people, they all took detours to avoid them, with eyes full of contempt.

These mud-legged people are naturally incompatible with the reveling Ying Tian Mansion.

They were very puzzled.

Why would the Governor's Palace issue such a strange order to bring these mud-legged people who had never seen a big scene in their lives to the city to do something?

Take a look.

The streets paved with large bluestones were all stained by those muddy feet.

On the city wall, Li Nuo looked down at the common people entering the city cautiously, and then he said to Zhang Tongxuan, the second-in-command of the Tianfu, "Master Zhang, this should be the last batch, right?"

"Reporting to Duke Wu An, the inventory of the lower officials has been completed, and all the people from the eighteen villages in the Xuanwu Lake area have entered the city."

Zhang Tongpan held a book in his hand, which recorded the detailed information of the villagers in each village.

Every time he verified that a villager had entered the city, he would put a check mark behind that person's name.

Even for the elderly who had difficulty walking, the government paid directly to hire bullock carts to carry them into the city.

"What about the placement situation?"

"Don't worry, sir, all the vacant houses in the seven districts in the west and south of the city have been requisitioned, ensuring that every household has a house to live in!"

Zhang Tongpan said respectfully.

As the second-in-command of Yingtian Mansion, his ability is certainly not bad. In his eyes, the trivial matters of resettling "disaster victims" are nothing more than trivial matters.

Everything was arranged in perfect order.

Five days ago.

After receiving the order from Li Nuo, the military governor of Jiangnan, he did not dare to slack off. He immediately sent his Yamen officials to the village and informed all the villagers to pack their bags and go to the city.

As for the reason, Li Nuo didn't say it clearly, so it was natural for him as a lower-ranking official to ask more questions.

But the common people these days are very simple, and when they are facing the government, they are naturally weak. How can they dare to resist?

What's more, the government also promised to give them extra money as compensation for delaying spring plowing.

Still not satisfied with this?

It will only be delayed for about ten days.

Li Nuo nodded, and then said meaningfully: "Master Zhang's ability is naturally obvious to all, so this matter will be completely left to Master Zhang. On the other hand, this 'neighbor' relationship, please send someone to keep an eye on it. As for Mr. Zhang, please send someone to keep an eye on it. All the money promised to be distributed to the villagers must be given in full, and no copper coin shall be withheld. If anyone dares to reach out, behead him!"

"Don't worry, sir! I will personally supervise it. Anyone who dares to reach out will be arrested immediately and handed over to the master for punishment!"

Zhang Tongpan agreed immediately.

But before he knew it, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He was thinking of a clever excuse to deduct 20% of the money!

so far so good!

He hasn't taken action yet.

Otherwise, the bodies would definitely be separated.

He almost forgot that the man in front of him was the famous Lord Wu An! I won't be polite to you if you kill someone!

so.

Don't be greedy!

"If you do well, I will ask for your orders in the court. But if something goes wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Li Nuo said lightly.

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely not make any mistakes, otherwise I will come to see you!"

Zhang Tongpan gritted his teeth and said.

"Well, let's go down and do some work."

Li Nuo waved his hand and said.

Seeing Zhang Tongpan leaving with sweat profusely, he knew that his killing power had completely suppressed him.

As long as you don't make a fuss during this period and do your best, it will be fine.

Anyway, his stay in Yingtian Mansion is only temporary, and he doesn't need to have a good relationship with these officials. And time is tight, so using strong methods is the most convenient.

After completing the relocation of the villagers, Li Nuo turned his eyes to the east...

It has been six days since Qiluo went to Donghai, and she doesn't know what the situation is.

But he believed that this girl would return safely.

A swordsman who can fly with a sword, no one in the East China Sea can stop her.

If you really meet an invincible person and report your identity, I think the great sword master of Shushan will not embarrass this girl too much.

Of course, this is also a test.

A test for the Mermaid Queen!

If Lingcai'er can do her best, then Li Nuo will treat Lingcai'er as one of his own.

If she has the slightest bit of shirk, then...

Hum!

Just when his [Snow Crystal] is so easy to get?

And just when Li Nuo returned to the Governor's Mansion and his butt was still hot, a large number of scholars and talents gathered in front of the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

Their faces were red and their ears were red, and they shouted loudly: "We want to see the prince and master!"

"Let us go in, we want to see Mr. Wu An!"

"If we can't see Mr. Wu An today, we vow not to give up!"

"Yingtian Mansion is our Yingtian Mansion. Those thousands of mud-legged people came in and created a mess. Please give us an explanation from Mr. Wu An and give Yingtian Mansion a bright future!"

One sound is louder than the other, and each wave is louder than the other.

The guards at the Governor's Mansion who maintained order also looked helpless at this time.

Although they had knives in their hands, they could not point them at these scholars.

He cannot be beaten or scolded.

We can't let them in directly.

This is difficult to handle.

I can only endure their spit...

"Please be patient, we have already sent someone to inform you."

The leader of the guards said helplessly.

In fact, he also felt a little strange. This Duke Wu An killed people without blinking an eye, and his methods were very tough.

He would never forget that a few days ago, Governor Zhao was so frightened that Mr. Wu An was sitting like this and did not dare to move.

How dare these scholars come to "force the palace"?

How many kilograms of bear's heart and leopard's courage did you eat?

Are you really not afraid that Duke Wu An will go on a killing spree?

"Sir, there are a total of seventy-two students from Suiyang Academy and thirty-six famous gentry in the city gathered at the door. They said that if you don't come out and give them an explanation, they will force their way in."

A swordsman and penman came running in sweating profusely.

He has worked in the Governor's Mansion for more than 20 years, and this is the first time he has seen students and gentry unite to demand an explanation from the Governor.

This is really...

"We've been arguing for a while. It seems that we are still very energetic. Let's wait a little longer."

Li Nuo smiled nonchalantly.

He is also a scholar, so he naturally knows what these scholars want to do.

snort!

It's not like he was bewitched or instigated.

When he moves the villagers to the city, does he still need their consent?

What a big joke!

However, who is behind the scenes?

Zhao Quan?

probably not.

Because there is no need at all.

Di family?

This is possible. After all, Di Bai was severely beaten by Qi Luo. The Di family should really want to get this face back.

But North Korea and China...

Di Zhengming was almost unable to take care of himself after being sprayed by Du Yan, so how could he dare to jump out? Are you really not afraid of death?

Could it be that Di Bai, the idle good-for-nothing young man, did this secretly?

As for other enemies, Li Nuo has not thought of them yet.

A quarter of an hour later.

The swordsman and penman came hurriedly again, with a panic-stricken look on his face, and said tremblingly: "Sir, sir! They rushed in!"

"You really dare to attack the government office? What do the guards do for food? Didn't you stop them?"

Li Nuo was really surprised.

Are these scholars really not afraid of death?

This head is harder than him!

The guards of the Governor's Mansion were certainly not weak in strength, but they did not dare to hurt these scholars with delicate skin and tender flesh.

The swordsman wiped his sweat and replied: "Some scholars were too angry and resorted to verbal abuse! Many guards were injured. But they did not have orders from adults, so they did not dare to fight back. After all, they are scholars, and in my court The degree of preferential treatment, ahem..."

"Forget it, I'll just leave for a while."

Li Nuo stood up and walked towards the door, his expression slowly cooling down.

It seems that the scholars in Jiangnan still have doubts about his methods.

At the gate of the Governor's Mansion, it was already a mess.

The guards did not dare to draw their swords, and they were retreating back inside the door.

The scholars, on the other hand, clenched their hands into fists, as if they had grasped the justice of the world. They were full of indignation and pressed forward step by step.

Several guards were injured and bleeding, but they remained strong and did not say a word, just enduring it silently.

finally.

The enthusiastic scholars, relying on the strength of their numbers, attacked in groups and broke through the defense line formed by the bodyguards.

They stormed into the Governor's Palace!

And just then.

A fierce murderous intention rose into the sky.

The scholar who rushed the fastest and most ferociously was instantly separated from his body, with blood splattering, which was shocking under the setting sun.

Gululu.

on the ground.

The falling heads stopped.

There was a look of astonishment and confusion on those eyes that had not yet been closed.

Kill, kill someone...

This is true.

This cruel scene finally made the scholars' blood cool down completely.

They stopped, looking horrified.

Immediately.

A figure gradually appeared.

Li Nuo, who had restored his true appearance, appeared in the eyes of everyone and said calmly: "Anyone who breaks into the government office without authorization will die!"

Everyone took a cold breath and took a few steps back.

Some of the timid ones even wet their crotches...

Li Nuo walked forward slowly and said with an indifferent expression: "Why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

Those light words sent chills to everyone's ears.

In this dynasty, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats jointly rule the world.

Therefore, the class of scholars is treated very favorably.

As long as he is a scholar who has obtained a meritorious degree, it can be seen that the official does not kneel down.

But at this moment, facing the majesty of the Crown Prince and Grand Master, how could they dare to refute.

Everyone's knees softened and they knelt down...
