Chapter 2 - Demon Spirit Continent

Just go, although these Ouchi guards have good martial arts, they are all considered wine bags and rice bags, so after a while, there was no one in front of Zhang Xu, and the Ouchi guards all walked down the top floor of Yunsheng Juxian Building and went down to drink.

Zhang Xu looked at these legendary Ouchi guards who were so easy to buy, Zhang Xu couldn't help but smile lightly, and then looked firmly at the place where Lord Liu Xun lived, and firmly took his first step, and then the second step

After walking a few steps, Zhang Xu looked at the small attic in front of him in amazement, with red flags and red hydrangeas hanging on it, and Zhang Xu seemed to see a screen erected there in the center of the attic. Zhang Xu thought to himself that the envoy of the year was really relaxed, and the small attic here was probably a place where there were many mirrors and different caves. After walking a few more steps, he was about to arrive at the door of the small attic, and Zhang Xu hurriedly adjusted his clothes. Then looking at the small building not far away, Zhang Xu took a long breath and walked up slowly.

Zhang Xu gently pushed open the door of the small building, and there were almost no guards inside except for Lord Liu Xun himself. Because now almost all the guards sent to protect this Lord Liu Xun have gone to the central area of the Yunsheng Juxian Building to eat, drink and have fun, but this wonderful Lord Liu Xun still looks dignified, sitting in the remote position of this small building, sipping the tea in front of him one after another. Zhang Kexi looked at this small attic vigilantly, and it didn't seem to be as stormy as he imagined.

This Lord Liu Xun's ears are still very sharp, so Zhang Kexi just pushed open the door when he heard Lord Liu Xun's loud voice: "Is it Huai'en? Didn't you tell you not to come and quarrel with me, when the game starts, you will naturally know what the so-called benefits of this official are." ”

Zhang Xu hurriedly went up and stood up respectfully, and said softly and respectfully: "Lord Liu Xun, my name is Huai'en, I am Zhang Xu, a dust ranger, I have admired Lord Liu Xun's fame for a long time, and I came to visit!" After speaking, Zhang Xu stood behind Lord Liu Xun like a sculpture, listening to what Lord Liu Xun said first. Liu Xun turned around, and Zhang Xu saw that although he was wearing a red brocade robe, he was wearing a pair of leather boots inlaid with pearls. But there was a lot of horizontal flesh on his face, and there was even a little bit of soup left at the corner of his mouth. Apparently a pampered and hedonistic man.

As soon as Liu Xun heard that it was not the "Huai'en" he was looking for, he suddenly scolded: "Didn't Your Majesty give an order? All the contestants who participated in the Jiangnan Martial Arts Competition could not visit me before the competition, did you ignore Your Majesty's order? Say, where did you get my guards? Did you kill them?" Liu Xun's voice was unusually firm, and Zhang Xu's heart couldn't help but be shocked.

But Zhang Xu became famous not only because of his martial arts, but also because Zhang Xu has a strong ability to tie things up and is good at pleasing others. So Zhang Xu hurriedly said with a smile: "Lord Liu Xun, what are you talking about, those inner guards are very happy to go downstairs to have fun." And we all know that Your Majesty and you are both majestic and high-ranking nobles, and we are just small civilians, so I shouldn't have come to you in the first place. But Lord Liu Xun, let's see what this is first?" Zhang Xu lured the Lord Liu Xun in front of him with words, and took out a small wooden box that had already been prepared from his pocket.

When Lord Liu Xun, who was originally full of anger, heard Zhang Xu's words, he immediately became interested, turned around very decisively, and asked in an urgent tone: "What do you want to show me?" I hope you won't let me down!"

Zhang Xu said: "You will know it when you see it, rest assured, you are satisfied." He opened the small wooden box lightly, and the room was suddenly full of golden light. That Lord Liu Xun looked greedily at the small wooden box of gold in front of him, and couldn't help but swallow. This small wooden box contains all the gold that Zhang Xu has collected all over the country over the years, although he was very sad to give these gold to Liu Xun as a gift, but he thought that when he became an official in the future, there would be more gold, and Zhang Xu couldn't bear to cut his love. And when Liu Xun saw the gold, his eyes suddenly shone with greed.

Zhang Xu saw that there was a door, so he hurriedly flattered: "These gold are not used to honor Lord Liu Xun, but this is just a little bit of my heart." Zhang Xu flattered and hurriedly handed over the wooden box.

Originally, Zhang Xu hoped to use this gold to buy this Lord Liu Xun, and then in this way, he would easily get a good ranking. also for the majestic blueprint of his future officials.

Who knew that Master Liu Xun happily took the small wooden box from Zhang Xu's hand, and then suddenly made a movement to the ground when Zhang Xu didn't have time to react, and then scolded in his mouth: "Don't you know? How can you bribe me? I'm the chief referee of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Competition! Aren't you afraid that I will take your life?" Liu Xun's words made Zhang Xu feel a little shuddered, thinking that this plan might have failed. This Liu Xun is not as greedy for money as he looks and rumored! Zhang Xu helplessly muttered to himself in his heart.

Zhang Xu was about to admit his mistake and then die of his heart. Zhang Kexi's observation is still quite keen, and after quietly glancing at Liu Xun a few times, he found a trace of wrongness. Zhang Xu keenly found that although the Lord Liu Xun in front of him pretended to be disdainful of a small wooden box of gold, and also pretended to be smashed, he actually did not smash it, but held it firmly in his hand, as if he was holding a treasure.

Zhang Xu now really knows that greed for money kills people! So Zhang Xu hurriedly seized this opportunity, stood in front of Liu Xun, and said softly and respectfully: "Lord Liu Xun, I know that you are impartial and selfless. But this gold is my filial piety to you, and you are not considered to have accepted bribes. Zhang Xu only said this now, and Liu Xun would be less wary of himself.

Sure enough, as Zhang Xu expected, that Lord Liu Xun really reduced his vigilance, but that Lord Liu Xun was still very vigilant and said: "You really want to honor me, not to bribe me? You must know that in our Qi country, officials of our country cannot blatantly accept bribes." Liu Xun's words were obviously said to Zhang Xu, and Zhang Xu naturally understood what Liu Xun meant.

Zhang Xu and the others are in the Demon Spirit Continent, a vast land and a happy people. From the creation of antiquity to the present day, it has a history of nearly 10,000 years. As the saying goes, if you divide for a long time, you must be divided for a long time, although there are never many countries on the Demon Spirit Continent, but there are always open and secret battles between countries, and even bloody battles, and the people are displaced. Therefore, although the Demon Spirit Continent has a history of nearly 10,000 years, there are really few truly peaceful and unified eras.

Now, after the thirteenth great turmoil in history, and after many years of annexation wars, there are now only two countries on the Demon Spirit Continent: one is the Qi State that controls the Jiangnan region and most of the eastern region, and the other is the feudal state that controls the north and most of the western region. The two countries are separated by the Xuanling River, the longest river in the Demon Spirit Continent, so the Xuanling River is also known as the mother river on the Demon Spirit Continent. And the second longest river in the Demon Spirit Continent is the Qingling River that separates the south and north of the Qi River. Qingling River is originally a branch of the Xuanling River, a long river running through the east-west direction. It is precisely because of the Qingling River that the Qi State has the distinction between the south and the north of the river. The capital of Qi was Xuancheng in Jiangbei.

Now the reign of Qi is a great monarch in history, that is, the current reigning monarch, he made great efforts, sympathy for the people, rectified the army, and promulgated a series of policies that benefited the country and the people. And this monarch was not only a virtuous monarch, but also a hero, and he personally led his troops to capture many cities in the feudal kingdom. It was the combination of many parties that led to the rise of the Qi State, and the Qi State began to gradually prosper. The feudal state had no choice but to establish a mysterious organization of the feudal state, the Feng Zhan Hui, through other means, in a vain attempt to defeat the Qi State with the power of the Feng War Society.

The Sealing War Society is the most mysterious organization in the entire feudal country, this organization not only controls the military strength of the feudal country, but also the mysterious masters in this organization, the army of the Qi State really doesn't understand, why such a weak feudal country, there is such a powerful organization, such a powerful feudal war will exist. Qi Guo also couldn't figure out the true intentions of the Sealing War Society and the internal team.

Maybe I don't know if it's because the army of Qi is proud after winning many battles, or because the feudal war will be really strong. The attacks of the Qi State were defeated by the feudal states one after another, and the monarch of the Qi State had no choice but to sit down and negotiate. That's why it's only now that the war is truncated with the Xuanling River as the boundary. The entire Demon Spirit Continent has temporarily entered a period of temporary peace.

After some secret investigation, the monarch of Qi State discovered that the leader of the Feng War Society, the mysterious leader, had unfathomable strength. Moreover, this mysterious leader has controlled almost the entire military power of the feudal state. The monarch of the State of Qi realized that if he continued to do so, there would inevitably be civil strife in the feudal state. So this monarch of Qi simply took advantage of the current period of peace to develop his domestic strength with all his might. Therefore, the annual Jiangnan martial arts competition is a good time to recruit talented people from all over the country, and this virtuous and thirsty virtuous monarch will certainly not let go of this opportunity.

So, Zhang Xu also seized this opportunity, because recently, this virtuous monarch doesn't know why, but now he has become a faint monarch who trusts his ministers and ignores the government, and begins to favor traitorous ministers like Liu Xun. Otherwise, Liu Xun would not have been able to get the envoy of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Contest sent by the emperor. After all, Liu Xun doesn't have any real and top-notch abilities, except for patting sycophants, of course. However, the Jiangnan martial arts competition was held continuously.

Zhang Xu knew that the current monarch's personality had changed for some reason, if Zhang Xu would never dare to do this kind of thing in the past, the original His Majesty had issued a strict order to thoroughly investigate the bribery incident, and the ministers sent in the past were all loyal to the monarch, and it was difficult to accept bribes easily. However, the current Lord Liu Xun is not a loyal minister, he is just a villain who is attached to the monarch and takes this opportunity to accept bribes.

So Liu Xun smiled lewdly, accepted Zhang Xu's bribe very satisfied, and then took this opportunity to "teach" Zhang Xu, "You have to know! This kind of thing can't be said casually! If you say it, both of us will be severely punished! Do you understand? I believe that with your cleverness, you will understand." ”

Zhang Xu hurriedly nodded heavily, saying that he would never say it.

Liu Xun waved his hand with satisfaction, signaling that Zhang Xu could go, Zhang Xu knew that he had successfully bribed this year's examiner Liu Xun. Zhang Xu was very confident in his own strength, so Zhang Xu left Liu Xun's small building with satisfaction, and happily returned to the place where he should rest. Now it's up to this Lord Liu Xun to help him. However, Zhang Xu is unwilling to bother thinking about this kind of problem.

Liu Xun watched Zhang Xu leave, secretly rejoicing in his heart, after all, there is so much gold, a person who is greedy for money will be happy, but Liu Xun is thinking about how to help Zhang Xu now. After all, the Jiangnan martial arts competition will start in a few days, and Liu Xun doesn't really want to use his brain to think about problems, you must know that this is very brain-consuming.

However, Liu Xun knew that Zhang Xu was a dust ranger, and it was estimated that his strength would not be very bad, so Liu Xun didn't bother to think about this kind of problem. Just improvisation should be fine. Liu Xun thought about it, felt that his head hurt a little, and with a wave of his hand, the two beautiful maids who had been hiding behind the screen because they wanted to avoid Zhang Kexi walked out again, Liu Xun hugged one with one hand, and the two beautiful maids gently beat Liu Xun's thighs with their own pink fists, helping Liu Xun gently massage, Liu Xun's fleshy face showed a very enjoyable expression. At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and Liu Xun hugged the two maids into the screen with a lewd smile, enjoying his own wind and snow, and did not take Zhang Xu's matter to heart at all.
