Chapter 72 Encounter

Those whose strength is above the third realm and can fly at low altitude with spiritual power

After the monk followed Xu Yan's (shēn), and under the condition of Xu Yan's frantically mobilizing spiritual power to speed up the crowd, everyone's speed increased a lot.

In Sichuan County, the two people of Ghost Dao and Ghost Dragon, whose faces were covered with hideous and perverted smiles, suddenly seemed to notice something, stopped what they were doing, and looked towards the sky in the direction of the west.

"Is anyone coming?"

The ghost knife slashed at the hand, and the head of another citizen fell to the ground, and the blood in the player's cavity gushed out, staining the body of the ghost knife (shēn) red. But the ghost knife didn't care at all, and stretched out a scarlet tongue (tiǎn) at the corner of his mouth.

In this way, the ghost dragon can still feel that if it is in the middle and upper parts, it will definitely be injured.

In a hurry, the ghost dragon twisted (shēn), which was able to avoid a sword stabbed by Xu Yan, and smashed (shēn) back (shēn) on the flying aura bomb behind (shēn), so that the flight trajectory of the aura bomb was not (jìn) deviated slightly.

I have to say that the series of reactions made by the ghost dragon in a hurry can be called a textbook-level response. The aura bomb and the ghost dragon passed by, and staggered towards the ground.

When Xu Yan was about to attack the ghost dragon again, the ghost dragon suddenly sank down, avoiding Xu Yan's pursuit. At this time, the aura bomb had already fallen to the ground, and the spiritual power contained in it exploded, once again setting off a powerful wave of qi.

The qi wave blew towards the ghost dragon, and the ghost dragon actually lifted (shēn) Zhou's protection at this time, and with the power of the qi wave blowing, the whole person quickly fled into the distance.

"This ......"

Seeing this, Xu Yan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The speed at which the ghost dragon fled was extremely fast, apparently unleashing a martial art such as the (shēn) method, and Yang

When Xuan was blown by the air wave just now, he dodged the debris blown up by the air wave, and was forced to retreat some distance, and the distance between the two was quickly pulled away.

After Xu Yan hesitated for a moment, he didn't choose to continue to catch up.

Compared with chasing and killing the ghost dragon, quickly clearing out the remaining ghost cultivators present, and cleaning up the battlefield, it is more important to pacify the people of Sichuan County (qíng).

The two most powerful elders in the ghost cultivators have already died and fled, and the rest are just shrimp soldiers and crab generals. And as the hundreds of monks who had just fought with Xu Yan and the two elders rejoined the battlefield on the ground, those ghost cultivators who were still resisting stubbornly were also defeated and killed by the soldiers.

During this period of time, Xu Yan has been vigilant about the possible appearance of the Shadow Pavilion Pavilion, although his current strength is still well preserved, but with the strength of the Shadow Pavilion Pavilion Lord's sixth realm, if he avoids those ordinary monks or soldiers, the result will definitely be unimaginable.

But I don't know why, the Shadow Pavilion Master until the soldiers

After cleaning the battlefield, it didn't show up. However, this also made Xu Yan secretly relieved.

At this point, the Shadow Pavilion, an assassination organization that has been born in the territory of the Great Wei Kingdom in recent years, has been shattered after four of the five elders died under Xu Yan's sword, and the surviving one was also seriously injured and fled.

And when the troops were about to return to Luodu, Xu Yan suddenly felt a strong sense of exhaustion rush to his brain.

Although he was not seriously injured in this battle, he had fought three times in the past few days, and he was mentally exhausted.

All the people in the entire Sichuan County cheered for a while, and Xu Yan, as the patron saint who saved Luodu and Sichuan County twice, also reached the peak of his reputation among the crowd. In the minds of the people around Luodu, Xu Yan is the god who guards them, and the person who can be compared with Xu Yan here may only be Xu Ruxian.

After Xu Yan woke up again, he pulled Zhang Tianci to come again

Zhuyun Valley, originally wanted to kill the ghost dragon while it was recovering from his injuries, but when the two of them felt Zhuyun Valley, they found that the place had already been empty.

The mist that originally permeated the Bamboo Cloud Valley also disappeared overnight after there was no ghost cultivation, and the bamboo forest in the valley also showed its true appearance in front of people for the first time.

Gangnam

"Nerd, get up (chuáng), I've made you something delicious."

With a rooster crow, Xu Yan, who was asleep, felt that someone pushed open his door, and then, a pair of cold little hands stayed on his face, making Xu Yan open his eyes suddenly.

After confirming that the Shadow Pavilion had completely declined, Xu Yan returned to the Houfu again, because he was too tired before, so today Xu Yan did not go to the quiet room to cultivate, but slept beautifully in the room.

During his stay in Luodu, Yu Chengcheng seemed to have made this place his home.

In fact, strictly speaking, since Xu Yan was named Luoduhou and rewarded Luodu to Xu Yan as a fief, this has been Xu Yan's home.

Xu Yan rubbed his sleepy eyes and found that the sky outside the window was already dark. He stretched and jumped off the chuáng. I hadn't slept so relaxed for a long time, and Xu Yan suddenly felt refreshed.

Suddenly, he heard a scream.

Xu Yan looked in the direction where the voice came from, but found that Yu Qingcheng was covering his eyes with his hands, and his ears and cheeks were red.

Seeing Yu Chengcheng's appearance, Xu Yan seemed to realize something, and when he looked down, he realized that he was only wearing a pair of shorts with stickers (shēn) at this time, which was not strong, but the upper half of the muscles (ròu) was exposed in the air.

Xu Yan scratched his head embarrassedly, and then found a (tào) short coat to put on.

Although the official robe custom-made for Xu Yanliang (shēn) in the palace had already been sent to the Houfu, Xu Yan did not like this kind of formal dress that dragged and dragged on to wear, but in contrast, it was the neat and neat outfit that Xu Yan favored more.

Yu Tingcheng dared to open his eyes when he saw that Xu Yan was finally dressed, but his earlobes were still red.

Yu Qingcheng brought out a crockpot from the kitchen, and inside was a pot of cuttlefish pork rib soup. Luo is not close to the sea, cuttlefish is not common here, and it can be seen that Yu Qingcheng has also put a lot of thought into it.

Xu Yan was not polite, he made a bowl of soup from the pot, and he was not afraid of burning it in his hand, and he took a big mouthful of it. He found himself coming more and more

The more accustomed you are to this life.

Seeing Xu Yan's expression of enjoyment, Yu Chengcheng was naturally full of joy.

Just as the two of them were filling the temple, there was a knock on the door.

The person who came was Zhang Tianci, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Xu Yan squatting in the courtyard drinking soup, and he smiled. All kinds of rules in the palace are strict, and the speech and demeanor must be decent, and there can be no excesses, let alone squatting on the bluestone bench and drinking soup without regard for the image like Xu Yan.

"Manager Zhang, is the injury better?"

Seeing that it was Zhang Tianci, Xu Yan said hello with a smile. Zhang Tianci hadn't seen him for a few days since he was seriously injured in the trouble of going to find a ghost cultivator with Xu Yan last time, and most of them stayed in the City Lord's Mansion to recuperate.

Zhang Tianci nodded and said to Xu Yan: "Thank you Brother Yang for your concern, my injury has improved a lot." I heard that Sichuan County was almost slaughtered by ghost cultivators last night, but it was Brother Yang who took action to resolve the crisis. Brother Yang's actions of doing the right thing for heaven and saving people from fire and water, Zhang really admired. ”

Xu Yan smiled and waved his hand, although now he was no longer the sixteen-year-old boy in the Yang family, but being praised like this, Xu Yan still felt a little embarrassed.

After a guest (tào), Zhang Tianci spoke again: "Brother Yang, I came here to say goodbye to Brother Yang. ”

"What, is Manager Zhang leaving Luodu? I'm going to invite you to set up two tables in the Smoke and Rain Building later. ”

"I received Brother Yang's wishes, but when I left the capital this time, in addition to coming to deliver a letter to Brother Yang at the behest of Xu Xiang, I also had to go to Jiangnan."

Zhang Tianci said, seeing Xu Yan's inquiring eyes, after hesitating for a moment, he continued: "Okay, it's not a secret, it's okay for me to tell you." ”

"Emperor Wei suddenly announced his retreat a year ago, and threw all the big and small things in the palace (qíng) to Xu Xiang and the heads of the Twelve Guardian Families. Not long ago, Xu Xiang was seriously injured at Xuanmen Pass (shēn) and began to retreat to recuperate. It was from this time that some people seemed to lose their breath. The Imperial History of Gangnam Province had been reluctant to pay the monthly taxes collected by the imperial court since a month ago. I've sent people over several times to inquire, but they've all been

It's like a stone sinking into the sea. ”

After listening to Zhang Tianci's words, Xu Yan and Yu Chengcheng glanced at each other, their eyes a little strange.

"You mean, the people of Jiangnan Province want to rebel?"

Xu Yan pondered for a moment and came to this conclusion. It is important to know that the taxes paid by various localities on time every month are one of the important sources of funds for the state treasury. If the tax in a certain place becomes less, it means that the military salary may not be paid.

Therefore, the Wei State has always regarded it as a taboo for the national tax, and even the most daring corrupt officials dare not stretch out their hands. You know, even if you move one of the taxes, it is a felony to be killed.

When Zhang Tianci heard this, his face suddenly became ugly, gave Xu Yan a look, and then looked around cautiously.

This kind of topic is extremely sensitive, and Xu Yan, as a celebrity on the side of Xu Xiang (shēn), may not care about this. But Zhang Tianci is just a small palace manager, if this is heard by someone with a heart, it is inevitable how to arrange him behind his back。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Xu Yan nodded and stopped the topic。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

However, when it came to this topic, Xu Yan suddenly thought of something very important (qíng。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

"That's right, Mr. Zhang. If I'm not mistaken, the princes of Great Wei were allowed to collect taxes from their fiefs, right? ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Xu Yan saw Zhang Tianci looking at Xu Yan with a strange look and said, "Brother Yang, have you just remembered this matter (qíng) after being sealed for so long?" ”。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
