Chapter 16: Where to Go

By the time the soldiers arrived, the fall of the thieves caused an uproar.

They temporarily suppressed the news and immediately reported it to the Ruyao Taishou, and Lan, who was there with the female Taishou, also learned the news. So Lan hurried back in advance, and then the female taishou also came over with soldiers in the name of identity.

"I really didn't expect this to happen after I left!" Lan pursed her lips bitterly, and her fists were clenched so hard that a few drops of blood flowed out of her nails into the flesh.

"Don't blame yourself, at least the students survived." Gu Xuan sighed, and now they were visiting the injured child at the makeshift medical point.

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid this village would be ....." Lan glanced at Gu Xuan, the student's confession, Gu Xuan eliminated the thief by himself.

This news really made all the soldiers drop their jaws, and they respected Gu Xuan, a teacher with great strength, more and more.

"They're all students of me and yours, aren't they?" Gu Xuan said with a smile. This group of students is a very fast learner and very eager to learn. Everyone has a great future in the future, and this is a sense of accomplishment that he has reciprocated as a teacher.

Therefore, Gu Xuan couldn't watch them just like this, and died in the hands of this gang of thieves.

"Hmm." Lan responded worriedly, and then walked out of the medical point with Gu Xuan and walked outside at will. Although the soldiers forbade outsiders and village personnel to enter and leave and move around at will, they were all silent after seeing Gu Xuan.

The two of them saw the panoramic view of the village from beginning to end..... It's all over the place. Crops such as wheat grown in the fields are lifeless as if they had been trampled by animals. The looted houses, so to speak, have become ruins and dilapidated.

This scene made Lan feel more and more guilty and painful, especially the students. They were all pale, and their eyes were bewildered and mournful. They did survive, but that doesn't mean their elders survived as well.

There was no way, and Gu Xuan was also deeply guilty about this. Everyone in the village, except for the students, was slaughtered by the thieves.

In this corrupt and thief-ridden empire, ordinary people who are powerless are like walking on a tightrope, crumbling, and falling into the abyss with a gentle push, and there will be no return.

Gu Xuan remembered a very famous sentence said by Han Feizi, an ancient man on the earth: "Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban." ”

Now the whole empire is exactly the case with this sentence, and the ministers are fiddling with the puppet little emperor to use it to exert pressure on tyranny, high taxes, and the people everywhere are not happy. And people with strong strength have no bottom line, do whatever they want, and satisfy their inner desires.

It's morbid and embarrassing, and it also makes people want to change all this.

"Gu Xuan, I'm going to the empire in seven days." Lan let out a long sigh of relief, trying to spit out his dullness and continued, "She arranged a civil official position for me. ”

Gu Xuan was stunned for a moment before he realized that what Lan was referring to was Ruyao Taishou. Guo Zhenlan's outing this time is something related to the outing.

"I'm going to say I'm sorry to you again." Suddenly, Lan bent his left knee forward, his thigh bent back, his upper body leaned forward slightly, and his right hand drooped, and he performed a very respectful courtesy.

"No, I told you that I was their teacher too." Gu Xuan was startled and said.

"Nope." Unexpectedly, Lan shook his head, not referring to this matter.

"You know Ruyao's reputation for good security, right?"

Gu Xuan nodded, waiting for Lan's words.

"So.... So the matter was covered up! ”

With Lan's explanation, Gu Xuan finally understood. This incident of thieves has already shaken the reputation of Ruyao's law and order, and for this reason, those soldiers forbade outsiders and village personnel to leave people, just to cover up the attack and slaughter of thieves. Then, I'm afraid that the credit for the destruction of the thief this time will not appear Gu Xuan's name!

That is, the Taishou of Ruyao intends to attribute the credit for the destruction of the thieves to the soldiers in the territory, which will expand the reputation of Ruyao and make Ruyao a well-deserved place with the best security in the empire.

It was a very hypocritical reputation, and Ruyao Taishou asked Lan to explain this matter to Gu Xuan, which was why Gu Xuan finally understood why Lan looked at him with a worried look.

"Don't take it personally, I understand." Gu Xuan patted Lan's shoulder and continued, "Then what is Ruyao Taishou going to compensate me for?" ”

Although he was a little psychologically uncomfortable to be used, Gu Xuan really didn't care about the follow-up of the thief's incident. On the contrary, since Ruyao Taishou did this, he definitely wanted to compensate for the items that satisfied Gu Xuan. Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to anger Gu Xuan, such a person who has the strength to exterminate this gang of thieves.

"She'll come over and make a deal with you later." Gu Xuan acquiesced to the compensation deal, but he could hear the strong dissatisfaction with the female eunuch in Lan's tone.

"Gu Xuan, where are you going next?" As soon as the conversation changed, Lan asked Gu Xuan's whereabouts. After all, the village was destroyed, and the surviving students were just children with no financial resources, who would be sent to other parts of Ruyao.

"Me!" In fact, even if there was no such thing as a thief, Gu Xuan planned to leave this village on the side. Of course, there are still two years before the plot begins, and he is not ready to go to the imperial capital early.

"I should go to the Imperial Fist Temple!" In the final battle of the manga, Leonay sneaks up on Minister Ornest, and Ornest shows a super combat power that is completely inconsistent with his previous image, and can suppress Leonay who has the imperial equipment with only physical skills.

This minister of the city is very deep, he deceived everyone. When he was young, he practiced boxing in the "Huangquan Temple" and was very powerful. And he also used alchemy to transform into an immortal body that was extremely difficult to die, wanting to control the empire all the time to satisfy and enjoy his desires. However, it is precisely because of this that his death is considered to be one of the most tragic, and the soldiers who rushed into the palace cut off his body parts one by one. On the contrary, his immortal body became the cause of the pain he had been suffering, and he was tortured by Ling Chi alive, and he screamed until he choked his breath to the end of death.

Although the Imperial Fist Temple is only mentioned in a few sentences in the comics, it is quite well-known in the real world. Many of the generals of the empire came from there, and the four Rakshasa ghosts, who enjoyed a fierce reputation in the imperial capital, were also selected from the top disciples of the Imperial Fist Temple.

At the beginning of the plot, Gu Xuan also planned to go to the Huangquan Temple to practice boxing. There is no fixed task, which is just enough for him to improve his strength in this world.

"I'll give it to you." After learning where Gu Xuan was going next, Lan made a decision and took out two discs from his bag.

"Wait, this isn't!" Gu Xuan looked at the two discs in astonishment and asked in disbelief.

Lan shook his head indifferently and said: "This imperial tool was given to me by Ruyao Taishou, although I didn't test whether it was suitable or not, but I went to the emperor to go to the civil and official internal affairs, and I didn't need this thing." ”

The imperial tool that Lan showed to Gu Xuan was the imperial tool used by Lilan in the original book: Flying Ten Thousand Miles (Mostima)!
