Chapter 167: Knowing Autumn One Leaf
On the same day, the county government chartered a nearby restaurant.
Stuffing these main forces of ghost removal into it is a bit similar to the unified management and centralized accommodation before the college entrance examination in other places.
For a while, after those officials and catchers had eaten their fill, they had nothing to do, so they gathered in the backyard of the restaurant to talk.
"Hey...... Come all over here, I have the latest news. One of the officials was quite well-informed, holding a toothpick in one hand and stepping on a stool with one foot, with an indescribable smug look on his face.
The officials took a look.
found out that it was Cao Xiong, the younger brother of the concubine of the county lord, that is, the brother-in-law of the second-in-command of the county government.
Anyway, when you're full, you have nothing to do, so why not listen to him brag, just eat it, maybe it's useful news.
All of a sudden.
"Did you know? Why would the county government invite three masters to sit in charge at one time? Cao Xiong's eyes flashed, he enjoyed the feeling of being the focus of everyone, and deliberately sold Guanzi.
"What else, anyway, the east is not bright and the west is bright, the master has always done things safely, naturally to ask for insurance!"
"Three masters, who knows if there are any people who are indiscriminate, and they are just like that charlatan, rushing for reward!"
This kind of conspiracy theory has always been the most popular in the market, and it has attracted many people to echo it.
"...... In fact, there is another hidden secret. Brother Cao saw that as he spoke, the building was crooked, and he immediately played the role of the landlord and broke the topic back.
He picked up a toothpick and spat in his face.
His eyes swept over the faces of the others, and a sense of intellectual superiority rose spontaneously.
"I like the way you sand sculptures look at me with adoration!"
Brother Cao blinked, his heart was dark, and when he saw that everyone's appetite was satisfied, he said unhurriedly: "Master is thoughtful, how can he spend money to hire some charlatans?" The reason why three masters were invited at one time was naturally that the soldiers were divided into three ways and the progress was accelerated, a group of fools! ”
Although everyone was scolded by him as fools, they were not angry in their hearts.
Cao Xiong can be regarded as a related household no matter what he says, and among the officials in the county government, he can also be regarded as a 'first-class civil servant', although his status is average, his identity is not simple, and he is not a figure they can afford.
Which of these people who have been in the county government all the year round is not a thoughtful person?
Suddenly, his eyes rolled, and he had already begun to guess the hidden value behind this news.
The three high-ranking soldiers are divided into three ways.
Corresponding ...... These servants also have to be divided into three ways.
How to choose the leading brother has suddenly become a problem.
The 200 taels of bounty announced by the county government not only want it from several masters, but also want it from these officials, if you choose the wrong big brother to take the lead, I am afraid that you will not even be able to drink the soup at that time.
What's more, eradicating the grass and reckless ghosts is very dangerous in itself, and there will be a danger of life at any time, and it is more reliable to follow a master with stronger skills.
Thinking of this, everyone's breathing couldn't help but become heavier, and they secretly left a thought in their hearts.
It's time to keep your eyes peeled.
Everyone turned their attention to Cao Xiong again, "Brother Cao, you are well-informed, come and help us analyze and analyze, among the three masters, which one has higher mana?" ”
"Nature is ......"
Cao Xiong was happily flattered by several people, and was about to take out the inventory in his stomach when he saw Liu Zhutou in the lobby accompanying the three masters from the upstairs Accord.
There was a door between the staircase and the backyard, and now the gate was open, and the meeting was only a few meters, and the people were so loud that I am afraid that the previous conversation had already been heard by several high-ranking people.
Liu Zhutou stared at Cao Xiong fiercely and motioned for the other party to shut up quickly.
And Cao Xiong knew that Liu Zhutou liked Cao Jun among the three, and for a while he thought that he had received a hint from the other party, so he immediately slapped his thigh and shouted to the officials categorically: "Of course, I chose Master Zhuge Wolong." ”
"The master and Liu Qingping, the dead ghost of the Liu Mansion, met in the water, but traveled hundreds of miles to send the other party's remains back to Qinghe County for burial, what is this called?"
The officials didn't notice that there were a few more people at the stairs at the entrance of the backyard, and they continued to pat Cao Xiong's ass, and immediately replied neatly: "Righteous anger!" ”
"!"
Since Cao Xiong decided to cater to Liu Zhutou, he naturally wanted to blow Cao Jun as high as possible.
"This is called the courage of the art master, then there is a corrupt official in Guobei County, the people in the county are not happy, robbers are everywhere, Master Zhuge Wolong is single and bare-handed, and retreats from Guobei County safely, how can it be said that there is no outstanding ability?"
"Also, a few days ago, Liu Fu provoked the spirits of the back mountain, and killed four hunters in a row, didn't Master Zhuge Wolong take action and personally shoot the weasel to death?"
"So, among the three masters, Master Zhuge Wolong's skills are the strongest, when you integrate the formation tomorrow, you have to look carefully, don't stand on the wrong team."
Cao Xiong's boasting was justified, and everyone nodded yes again and again.
He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had completed the arduous task given to him by Liu Zhutou, but when he turned back to invite the latter, he received a more stern look from the other party.
Liu Zhutou was also crying out in his heart.
Among the three, he is naturally the most optimistic about Cao Jun, not only because Cao Jun is strong, but because the other party understands the world better.
I had a tacit understanding with him before, and this time I cooperated again, with his secret help, I will definitely be able to swallow the majority of the 200 taels of silver in the county.
All it takes is to do it quietly.
I didn't know that Cao Xiong was lifted to the bright place all of a sudden.
If all the catchers chose Cao Jun's side, wouldn't the reward in everyone's hands be spread even thinner at that time?
"Silly ×!"
This is the true meaning of Liu Zhutou's fierce glance at Cao Xiong just now.
It's just that the other party understands the wrong meaning.
Cao Xiong and the loud talk of everyone were naturally listened to by the beggar and Zhiqiu Yiye, and the feeling in his heart was a little unpleasant.
If it is really divided into three teams to destroy ghosts separately, everyone will always have some errands and miscellaneous cannon fodder and little brothers around them.
When the team is assigned tomorrow, there are many talents around others, and he is just a light commander, not to mention that the process of destroying ghosts will be much slower, and he will be a little difficult to get over just his face.
Zhiqiu Yiye's mind has always been flexible, and he figured out the doorway in an instant.
He immediately untied the long sword behind his back, held it in his hand, and pretended not to know, "I just had a full meal, I went to the backyard to exercise and eliminate food." ”
After speaking, he jumped into the backyard with two strong steps, shook the long sword in his hand, and danced in front of everyone.
Knowing what Qiu Yiye was thinking, Cao Jun knew it, and he didn't break it for a while, just hugged his arms and stood in the backyard to look lively.
As a disciple of the Kunlun faction of the famous mountain, Zhiqiu Yiye has learned a lot, and there is naturally no shortage of spells and exercises, not only proficient in Kunlun swordsmanship, but also immobilization, earth escape, talisman technique, exorcism, ghost exorcism order, etc.
Among them, the immobilization technique and earth escape belong to the category of spells, and it is inconvenient to use them in the face of mortals;
The art of the talisman is a great move, it is his specialty, and it is inconvenient to use it;
The Demon Exorcism Order is dedicated to dealing with demons and monsters.
The rest is only swordsmanship and exorcism.
After Zhiqiu Yiye's swordsmanship danced, he kept tossing and turning in the courtyard, like a dragon entering the sea, looking from the side, only the slightest sword light could be seen, but no human figure was seen.
caused the crowd to continue to exclaim.
Zhiqiu Yiye rarely shows his skills in front of mortals and peers, and at this moment, he is encouraged by everyone's applause, and he also has the meaning of showing off in his heart.
After dancing for a while, he suddenly stood in place, threw the long sword in his hand forward, and shouted, "Go!" ”
As if it had legs, the long sword slashed in the air, cut off the branches and leaves of a dead tree, and returned to his hand.
This is no longer the category of swordsmanship, but a magical power.
Even the beggar, who had always been arrogant, opened his eyes wide, and his eyes were full of envy.
"Good!"
All the officials immediately slapped their hands and applauded desperately beside them.
Liu Zhutou, who was watching next to Cao Jun, couldn't help but glance at Cao Jun with a strange look on his face while being surprised, but a little more worried.
This Taoist priest has extraordinary skills, if he takes the lead, wouldn't the large amount of silver be flown away?
"Master ......"
Cao Jun seemed to see through his thoughts, patted the other party's shoulder and comforted: "It's okay! ”
