Chapter 506: The Horse Bandits Are Coming
"Lord Lu, here is the emperor's secret edict, only Lord Lu can read it!"
Lu Sheng took the secret edict box, opened it, and just glanced at it, and his face changed instantly.
"Mo Cangkong, the head town of Lanzhou Xuantian Mansion, and Lanzhou Xuantian Mansion swept down more than a thousand Xuantian high-level officials and poisoned them overnight. Lu Sheng, Xuantian Mansion in Chuzhou, who is also the head town of Xuantian Mansion in Lanzhou, has the power of life and death on the spot, so we must thoroughly investigate this case, handle it strictly, and set an example!"
After reading it, Lu Sheng's face instantly became solemn. Ji Zheng was in the secret edict, revealing infinite anger between the lines. Although Lanzhou is the border of Dayu, the vast territory is almost as vast as Chuzhou.
Moreover, Lanzhou is much more complex than Chuzhou, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and Lanzhou is a multi-ethnic and multi-tribal place. The decrees of the imperial court have not yet been spoken by the heads of the local clans.
For a long time, the border of Dayu is the most difficult to manage, and Dayu officials are also respectful of the border area. If you are assigned to the border by the imperial court, you should probably close your door and think about whether you have made any mistakes in the past few years.
But no matter how remote it is, it is also the country of Dayu and the land of China.
Since six years ago, Xuantian Mansion has blossomed all over the nineteen states of Shenzhou. Lanzhou Xuantian Mansion is the latest batch to be established. Of course, not all Xuantianfu refer to a template like Chuzhou and Wuzhou, and even a small half of them refer to the Chuzhou template.
Looking at Lu Sheng's face, He Xingzhi also knew each other and did not ask, since it was the emperor's secret edict, then Lu Sheng's transfer from Chuzhou was the emperor's intention rather than anyone's suppression.
Lu Sheng put away the secret decree, "Spider, Lu Jian!"
"Inferior!"
"Go back to Xuantian Mansion immediately, convene the heads of various departments to prepare for a meeting, you go first, and I will arrive later!" said, hugging his fists at He Xingzhi, "I was originally sending the old man of the Pavilion to be promoted, but I didn't want to ...... I'm leaving too. β
The emperor has a heavy responsibility, do your best, Lord Lu doesn't have to send it anymore, it's time for the old man to set off, don't say goodbye. β
"Pavilion Elder Please!"
Seeing He Xingzhi's carriage surging slowly, Lu Sheng sighed, and just turned around, only to find that the road behind him had been blocked by the people.
"Lord Lu, are you leaving too?"
"Lord Lu, you can't leave us......"
"Everyone, please listen to my ......"
Before he finished speaking, the people in front of him suddenly knelt down in unison, and the picture of thousands of people kneeling down made Lu Sheng's heart flutter.
"Your Excellency, you can't go...... We can't live without you......"
"My lord, if you forsake us, we will not be able to kneel here. The court can't do this, we've only had a good life for a few days, and we can't transfer you away......"
"Don't get excited, everyone, listen to me! The emperor ordered me to serve as the head town of Xuantianfu in Lanzhou, not to transfer me out of Chuzhou, I went to Lanzhou for the emperor's order, and when the emperor's order is completed, I will still come back."
During the time I was gone, the operation of Xuantian Mansion was still the same, and its functions were still the same. It's business as usual in Chuzhou, you don't need to panic!"
"Really......? When will Lord Lu come back?"
"The return date is uncertain, but if you want to come within this year, you will definitely return!
For the people of Chuzhou, half of the sky has collapsed after walking He Xingzhi, and this time even Lu Sheng is gone, their sky will really fall. I don't know when it began, Lu Sheng and He Xingzhi have become the beliefs of the people of Chuzhou.
As long as they are there, the people's lives will be steady.
Chuzhou is changing with each passing day, and today's Chuzhou is no longer like the 50 million people when Lu Sheng first came, and as many as 20 million people from other states come to live in Chuzhou. It is not an exaggeration to say that Chuzhou now accounts for 30% of the economy of the country's 19 states.
And all of this was created by He Lupei for seven years. Everyone present also witnessed it with their own eyes, so the feelings of the people of Chuzhou towards He Xingzhi and Lu Sheng were by no means understandable to people from other states.
After getting Lu Sheng's promise, they reluctantly stood up one by one and let Lu Sheng pass.
Lu Sheng stepped on the war horse and galloped away, while the people of Chuzhou watched from afar and refused to disperse for a long time.
As for Pegasus...... He meows as a pet, and it's used to ride? Since Tianma entered the Lu family, Lu Ying and Bu Feiyan have ridden, and Lu Sheng himself has not ridden once.
Back at Xuantian Mansion, the conference room was full of people, and everyone's faces were gloomy. Because Lu Sheng hadn't told them the true situation yet, they all thought that Lu Sheng was really going to be transferred, and they suppressed endless anger in their hearts.
"Don't keep a straight face, I'm a part-time Lanzhou Xuantian Mansion this time, not a flat tune!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the seven people present paused slightly, and then they showed a relaxed smile.
"There is a big case in Lanzhou that needs me to investigate, just like the last time I went to Jiangbei Province. Chuzhou is led by the spider, assisted by Lu Jian and Feng Jian, and this time I will take Xianyun and Gai Ying to go. β
"What the hell is your case?"
"The general town of Xuantianfu in Lanzhou has been wiped out!"
"What?" As soon as these words came out, they suddenly stirred up turbulent waves. The whole town of Xuantianfu in Yizhou was slaughtered? It's like everyone sitting in this conference room being killed. How serious is that?
"That's why, the emperor so suddenly and so eagerly ordered me to go to Lanzhou, which is three thousand five hundred miles away from Lanzhou and spans Qinzhou. I am facing the sea from the east, and I want to go out of Hangu in the west, which can be regarded as crossing Shenzhou from east to west. Lu Sheng pretended to smile easily.
"The time I've been away has been business as usual. A few of you who stayed behind, you have time to go to Yuzhu Villa to see the Infinite Heavenly Monument, although your cultivation has improved in the past five years, but apart from the spider, which of you has broken through the Dao realm?
Who said that you can sit back and relax when you arrive at the innate? The future enemy is afraid that he is not in the Dao realm, and he is embarrassed to come forward. Especially you, Lu Jian, you and Gai Ying's talents are the highest among everyone, and now they have been stuck at the peak of their innate strength for a year. Gai Yingcai is only twenty-six, what about you? β
was counted by Lu Sheng for a while, and Lu Jian, who already had a mature beard, lowered his head. But at the bottom of my heart, I can't help but have a scarlet belly, can this be compared? The innate peak of thirty years old is very strong, right?
As for the spider, if it weren't for the fact that her body was now completely clean, and her meridians were unblocked, she would be able to improve her skills on her own even if she didn't practice, would she be able to cultivate so quickly? According to Lu Sheng's standards, it is estimated that no one in this world can pass except himself.
It's not that Lu Sheng's requirements are too high, but his sense of crisis tells him that he must seize every possible time to improve his cultivation. In this way, when you really meet a strong opponent, you won't be so weak.
At the end of the meeting, Lu Sheng did not rush to leave, but first transferred the situation of Xuantian Mansion in Lanzhou.
The structure of Lanzhou Xuantian Mansion is diametrically opposed to that of Chuzhou Xuantian Mansion, although it is the same template, but the high-level personnel are all composed of local gate valve clans.
Even Mo Cangkong, he himself is the leader of the Lanzhou tribe. It can be said that Lanzhou Xuantian Mansion is in the hands of the gate valve Guixun. Although the emperor is directly in charge, the emperor's orders are not necessarily effective in Lanzhou. Even if it works, it's not the first time it works.
Although Lu Sheng and Mo Cangkong are both the head towns of Xuantianfu in Yizhou, they are not subordinate to each other, and even Mo Cangkong may not be loyal to the emperor.
Mo Cangkong's death, Lu Sheng had the sadness of the death of a rabbit and a fox, but he was not angry, but with more than a thousand subordinates, these were all students who graduated from Xuantian Academy! Even if they didn't teach in person like the previous two batches, they were more or less emotional.
I explained it again before getting off work, and then went home and lingered with Bu Feiyan for a night. Lu Sheng got into the carriage and set off the next day.
Although it is said that Lu Sheng's martial arts can directly go to Lanzhou, it is still necessary to take the pomp and circumstance of taking office. Traveling lightly, and being in Lanzhou, which is located on the border, is easy to be despised.
After all, there is a fight for face. Ji Zheng did not give Lu Sheng a time limit, and there seemed to be other meanings in the words of the secret decree. Judging from the tacit understanding between Lu Sheng and Ji Zheng, it seems that the cause of Mo Cangkong's death is still secondary. Otherwise, why let your tiger out?
Lu Sheng walked quietly, but he was blocked by the people guarding both sides of the official road outside the West Gate.
The people are cute, but sometimes it's hard to get around. Especially the people who admit the reason of death, it makes sense only when they talk badly, so that the people get out of the way.
Xianyun and Gai Ying were very proud, but they didn't know that Lu Sheng had palpitations. Being too good is sometimes really a sin, and the fanaticism of the people of Chuzhou for Lu Sheng also made Lu Sheng a little vigilant.
If one day he really wants to be promoted, will he be able to take office in the future, will the successor of the Xuantian Mansion in Chuzhou still be able to take office? Even if he can take office, what if he is collectively squeezed out by the people of Chuzhou...... even let some people in the imperial court seize this handle and say that Lu Sheng's authority in Chuzhou is too great, and there is a fact of separation...... I'm afraid the consequences will not be too good.
Chuzhou is very big, and Qinzhou is also very big! This is very similar to the previous life in Lu Sheng's memory. Nineteen states of Dayu, east and west longitudinal and long, and the more to the west, the more sparsely populated.
Lu Sheng and his entourage were lightly inspected, and the whole process was official, and it took half a month to cross Qinzhou and arrive in Lanzhou.
One region, one terroir.
If Qinzhou is obviously poor and backward compared to Chuzhou, then Lanzhou is desolate compared to Qinzhou.
What does it mean that there is no rooster crowing for a hundred miles, and there is no one for thousands of miles?
It was the first half of the night when he entered the Lanzhou boundary monument, and Lu Sheng saw a starry sky at a glance. And under the starry sky, there is not a single fireworks. For several hours, apart from the sound of the horse's hooves, I could only talk to the hundreds of brothers who accompanied me.
Under the starry sky, there can still be wolf howls one after another. In Lanzhou, wolves are very rampant, and businessmen who go to the west often say that when they go to the west, they must unsheath their swords at any time. In addition to the elusive horse bandits, it is the ubiquitous wolves that are the most annoying.
Suddenly, the carriage paused slightly and stopped.
"My lord, there is something going on!" Gai Ying's deep voice revealed a hint of excitement.
"What?
"It's not like a pack of wolves, it's like a ...... Horse bandits. I've heard from friends who walk the west road that wolves and horse bandits are almost always in groups on the west road. Wolves are the most shrewd, and they can have food if they follow the horse bandits. Horse bandits are responsible for killing, and wolves are responsible for cleaning up the remains. β
"It's been a long time since you can develop this kind of tacit understanding of survival, right?"
"This phenomenon has been going on for thousands of years, to say the least. β
"Ulalaβ" At this moment, a scream of excitement came from a distance, and the sound of galloping horses' hooves approached rapidly, and the earth trembled slightly.
Xuan Tianwei acted instantly, the war horses formed a circle, guarding around Lu Sheng's carriage, the long knife was unsheathed, and without a sound, he stared vigilantly at the horse bandits who seemed to be surrounded from all directions.
