Chapter 868: Eight-Rank Grandmaster
After some hard work, Lu Ming was finally re-appreciated by Zhuge Jun and was ready to give him a task to go to a scene called Huzhong County to investigate a case with unbelievable opinions.
This Huzhong County is about thirty kilometers away from the Demon Capital, and there will be some strange beasts here occasionally, and this is Zhuge Jun's hometown, he doesn't want there to be strange beasts here.
Seeing that Lu Ming's workout at school had been completed, he sent him to go there alone to have a look. Moreover, he was given the strength of a regiment and asked him to destroy everything suspicious over there.
This suspicious thing, Lu Ming probably investigated some situation, saying that it was a strange beast, but in fact, it was just a strange beast.
On this day, something happened in the county. I could only hear a very ordinary-looking family at the entrance of the main street at the head of the city, and one of them scolded sharply: "What kind of military soldiers? What kind of grass warlords? ”
The people of the entire Huzhong County seem to be living in their sleep, and Zhuge Jun means that without disturbing these people, take down the strange beasts here as soon as possible, and don't let them disturb the lives of the people.
This is indeed a particularly difficult thing for Lu Ming, but Zhuge Jun said that after completing this task, he will give a reward that goes directly to Tianting, that is, to make Lu Ming's cultivation from the fourth rank to the eighth rank grandmaster at once.
This is not something that everyone can get, for the sake of the peace of his hometown, Zhuge Jun has also worked hard, and he has already laid a big point and earned Lu Ming a position as the head of the regiment. What to do next depends on Lu Ming's ingenuity.
From 1912 onwards, Huzhong County was controlled by warlords of all sizes for more than ten years. Under the brutal rule of these people, the common people dare not speak out. I learned to be submissive. Now when ordinary people saw Lu Ming entering with the army, they all felt that it was just another group of earth emperors wearing military uniforms entering the city. But it's one thing to think in your heart, it's another thing to shout in the street.
Coincidentally, at this time, Lu Ming's patrol force happened to pass by in front of this house: "Presumptuous, it's really a poor mountain and a bad water!"
Leading the patrol was Lu Ming's adjutant Shao Jiu.
When Shao Jiu heard that this ordinary person dared to speak disrespectfully to them, his heart was on fire, and he took two steps to the door, and flew up and kicked on the dilapidated wooden door.
"Yo, just as I'm talking, here is a Qiu Baye. The scolding man saw a group of vigilantes coming in and continued to speak without the slightest restraint, and beside him sat a girl of less than twenty years of age, disheveled, with a look of horror on her face, evidently frightened by the scene.
Shao Jiu saw that the man was still chattering endlessly, so he angrily grabbed the man and roared: "I have a hard life, and I can't live a good life, right?" I think you're tired of being crooked. ”
As Lu Ming's adjutant. In this small county, it is also considered a high authority, where is the master who can suffer. As he spoke, he reached out and pulled out the pistol pinned to his waist.
"Master Jun, don't be angry, don't be angry!" a small little brother rushed out of the crowd watching the play at the door. That person's name is Wang Hao, and he has been working in Huzhong County for 20 years. The small county seat of Huzhong County, in this special era, is not as simple as it seems. And this kind of little person who is in the market is more proficient in this way than the military master who is high up in this room. This Wang Hao is not a decent person because he has many eyes and a deep city, and he is not a decent person at first glance, so he got a nickname in the lake called a mouse.
This king rat attached to Shao Jiu's ear and said: "The military master doesn't know, the master in front of him is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Even if the military master has powerful means, don't easily provoke this young master of the Mu family. ”
"Young Master of the Mu family?" Shao Jiu was stunned. I was confused, what has become of this Huzhong County, and even the people who live in this kind of place can be regarded as young masters?
"What kind of young master, look at you, you haven't seen the world. Today I'm going to show you who's in charge of this lake. Shao Jiu thought in pieces, threw the military hat on his head on the table, and was about to hit with his other gun.
The Wang mouse knew that Shao Jiu obviously didn't understand his words, so he hurriedly stood in front of Mu Dashao, blocking the muzzle of the gun, and whispered with a smile on his face: "Don't mind, Master Jun, our Young Master Mu's home is a five-entry mansion in the city, Mu Mansion." This master of the Mu family, that is, Mu Dashao's father, is a figure on the rich side of Huzhong County. I know a lot of capable masters. ”
Wang Mouse sacrificed his life in front of the muzzle, and explained Mu Dashao's origin again, which made Shao Jiu's face change a little, he had been in the army for so long, and he knew the current way of the world, in a word: "The old squire who fights with iron, the county master who runs water." ”
Looking at the gentleman in front of him, he is clearly a typical representative of the squire.
Shao Jiu was embarrassed - if what this thief-eyed kid said was right, then this person would definitely not be able to move. But behind him are his own subordinates, and if he comes in like this, he can't walk away in front of them.
Adjutant Shao, who was difficult to ride a tiger, was in a dilemma, and the dilapidated door behind him creaked.
"Shao Jiu, what are you doing!" It was Lu Ming who scolded Adjutant Shao.
He was dressed in a straight military uniform, his shoulders were sharpened, and his dark blue military cloak was ankle-length, and he had a natural military spirit. And the wonderful thing is that he has grown a white and delicate face, thin lips and tight purses, handsome and extraordinary.
After the tall Lu Ming entered the room, the space became crowded.
"I ......"
"Smack!" Before Shao Jiu could argue, Lu Ming greeted him with a slap. Shao Jiu's eyes of the straight fan are full of gold stars.
"Look at your dog-fighting appearance, what is the difference between us and warlords and cool officials who treat the people like this. ”
"Sanctimonious. Without waiting for Shao Jiu, who was beaten, to speak, Mu Dashao, who was standing behind Lu Ming, muttered to himself.
Lu Ming looked back, his narrow eyes looked at the person who spoke, and saw that this person had a good skin, delicate facial features, and was also very elegantly dressed, with a satin vest and a melon skin hat, and a landlord's appearance.
It's just that there is a sense of consternation between those eyebrows, which makes Lu Ming a little uncomfortable.
Lu Ming is a soldier who fought bloodily on the battlefield, and he is the most rectum, and he can tell it at a glance with joy and sorrow. Adjutant Shao Jiu is a person with a heart, and he can see that the leader also looks down on this Mu Dashao, and he is now a nest, so he has a plan.
Shao Jiu covered his face and bowed, "Commander, you blame me for this. It's not that I'm showing off my might in the people's house, it's just that this man ......"
Shao Jiu lowered his voice, frightened but not angry: "This person relies on himself to be the most powerful young master in Huzhong County, and in broad daylight, he preempts the people's daughter!"
Lu Ming's typical martial arts thoughts, when he heard the words, he looked at the pair of men and women in front of him, the woman was handsome, but she was wearing sackcloth, stepping on a pair of broken shoes, and her clothes were disheveled, and her face was shy;
At such a glance, Lu Ming naturally believed the adjutant's words a little.
"The illiterate Master Qiu Ba can also be the county master, do you plan to take us to fight and get rich?" Mu Dashao didn't know the depths, and he was still chattering with a sneer.
