Chapter 15 The new lord of the city
After Zhao Sansheng returned to his room, he pondered and blamed himself for a long time, and then suddenly got up and shouted at the bottom of the bed: "Baiqiu!
But after a while, Bai Qiu crawled out in a gray manner, with a smile on his face: "Hehe, Brother Zhao, do you have anything to order?"
"Okay, you liar who eats and drinks together, and you actually deceived me! Didn't you say that you are a young cultivator? Show it out!" As he spoke, he didn't know that Bai Qiu suddenly appeared in his original form, and the size of a calf was very scary. Zhao Sansheng was about to fight, and his hand froze in mid-air. I thought that this look was quite scary, if I couldn't beat him and be bitten by him, wouldn't it be a great loss!
I saw that Bai Qiu, who had appeared in his original form, simply knelt down in front of Zhao Sansheng: "Little Brother Zhao, this worship is because I concealed my cultivation before, and my lie to you caused you to be in danger and unable to help. ”
Bai Qiu bowed to Zhao Sansheng again: "This worship is that I am willing to conclude a master-servant contract with you, and from now on, my life will be up to you." If you die, I die, and if I die, it has nothing to do with you. ”
Zhao Sansheng can understand the first worship, and he really doesn't know where to start when he concludes a contract in the second worship: "Why are you suddenly willing to conclude a contract with me?
"Brother Zhao, I was originally a Pixiu relic, I was originally a strong cultivator, but now my cultivation is not good, but I was born to hunt for treasures, natural treasures, spiritual soldiers, and blessed land, if I look carefully, I can't escape my nose, I believe it will be useful for Brother Zhao." ”
Listening to Baiqiu's self-introduction, Zhao Sansheng suddenly lost most of his anger, it is not easy to practice the trick of Qiankun by himself, if he can get Baiqiu's help, he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort, and he will be able to cultivate as soon as possible, and he will be able to rely on Xiaoxiangzi when he discovers it, but he is puzzled by Baiqiu's sudden kindness, this Baiqiu is delicious and messy, if he is asked to work hard, he Zhao Sansheng will not believe it first!
"And why, why are you suddenly willing to make a pact with me?"
Bai Qiu was slightly cramped, looking at Zhao Sansheng with a look of disbelief, and finally compromised: "Because of the imprint in your chest." ”
"The imprint on my chest?" Zhao Sansheng pulled open his clothes, looked at the Qiankun seal and then at Baiqiu.
"In the inheritance of our clan, if you see someone with the seal of Qiankun, whether it is a human or a demon or a ghost, there is only one thing, that is, to conclude a master-servant contract and protect it forever! This is the pride of my clan!" said Bai Qiu's face of pride when he talked about this.
Seeing Bai Qiu showing such a true temperament, Zhao Sansheng felt that he was too careful and felt Bai Qiu's sincerity: "Since you say so, then come on!"
Bai Qiu stepped forward, stretched out his claws and pulled on Zhao Sansheng's fingers, a stream of blood flew out, Bai Qiu cast a spell to guide, forming a mark in the air, looking like a Qiankun seal, but if you look closely, it is not a Qiankun seal. As soon as this mark was formed, it flew over the forehead of Baiqiu, imprinted deeply, and then disappeared.
Since then, Zhao Sansheng has had a feeling in his heart, and he can feel the existence of Baiqiu, which is the kind of feeling that he can feel no matter where he is, as long as he is alive! Now he has carefully experienced it, and he feels that Baiqiu was originally like a high mountain, but now the interior of this mountain is empty and hollowed out! Only then can he realize that what Baiqiu said is true.
Knowing that Bai Qiu was consuming mana again at this time, his body was very vain, so he said to Bai Qiu with concern: "I can feel your weakness, you go and rest." I'll call you if there's something to do, and I'll go back and help you get your meal ready. ”
At this time, Bai Qiu was no longer as arrogant and arrogant as before, and he wanted to bow to Zhao Sansheng very respectfully: "Thank you, master!" and then transformed his body and returned to the bottom of the bed to rest.
More than half a month has passed since Zhao Yichuan was assassinated, and although Zhao Yichuan took the Erdan, his veins were shattered and he could not recover, and his cultivation was naturally abolished. Although he has all kinds of natural treasures to recover his body, he is still sick.
On this day, Zhao Yichuan was dragging his injured body in the study to correct the official documents, and suddenly received a notice that he had come by the will of Tianzun. Hurriedly got up to greet him, the person who came was named Ge Qisheng, who was the grandson of Ge Bai, the third disciple of the Cambrian Tianzun, with a strong background.
Zhao Yichuan saw that Cambrian Tianzun's will had arrived, and knelt on the ground and waited for Ge Qisheng to read it. Ge Qisheng also heard about Zhao Yichuan's attack, although the person was saved, but his cultivation was lost, and he was still a little sorry for him, but I heard that Zhao Yichuan was actually taken advantage of by thieves because of his private visit to Weifu to observe the people's feelings, and the only remaining regret became disdain. Ge Qisheng said in his heart: "The monk is the foundation of my Holy Religion, and he actually exhausted his efforts for those grassy civilians, and he also observed the people's feelings regardless of the danger. How stupid this monk is!"
Now Zhao Yichuan is just an ordinary person without any cultivation, looking at Zhao Yichuan kneeling in front of him, Ge Qisheng felt that his identity was noble for no reason, and then took out the will of Tianzun and said: "Zhao Yichuan, as the city lord of Wancheng, neglected his duties, and there were three Tongtian demons who mixed into the city but didn't know it, but fortunately, the three demons had been subdued, and they should have been escorted to Cambrian City to punish crimes. Cambrian"
Over the years, Zhao Yichuan has not only offended many powerful people under the Cambrian Tianzun in order to rectify corruption in Wancheng, if it were not for the suppression of these magnates, with Zhao Yichuan's early military exploits and the performance of Wancheng's people's livelihood over the years, he would have been transferred to Cambrian City for a high promotion.
After the attack, Zhao Yichuan already knew that there would be such a result. But the only thing that can't be let go is the people of Wancheng, and I don't know if the next city lord can care about them. As a result, after Tianzun's will, he asked, "Lord Ge, I don't know that it was the Lord who came to take over the position of the City Lord?"
Ge Qisheng said in a weird way: "Lord Zhao... Oh, no, Zhao Yichuan! Now that you are a commoner, the matter of this city lord is not something that ordinary people like you can know. But you're also the previous city lord, look at it~"
I saw that Ge Qisheng took out another letter of appointment, and the person who was the new city lord was actually the Lord Ge in front of him.
For this Lord Ge, Zhao Yichuan has long heard of it, Ge Bai, the third disciple of the Cambrian Tianzun, hundreds of descendants, but none of them have successfully awakened the spiritual vein, more than two hundred years ago, the descendants finally had a success, but the spiritual vein is not good or bad, and the cultivation talent is also mediocre, and it took more than 150 years of practice to reach the Jindan realm, and the Jindan realm had to be supported by the ancestors to be able to take a small official position in Cambrian City. After taking office, he did not do official business, greedy for pleasure, although the people below complained, but the family background is strong, the power is huge, in fact, these little shrimp dare to shake! And this person is narrow-minded and will revenge, and the people below dare not say anything.
Zhao Yichuan was puzzled in his heart, he didn't know why Tianzun would send such a person to serve as the city lord of Wancheng? But knowing that Ge Qisheng was not a generous person, and now that he was demoted, and he still had a wife and children at home, he couldn't offend the incoming city lord, so he smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations to your lordship." ”
"Haha, Lord Zhao is a second person, Tianzun is not a merciless person, he also told me when he appointed me this time, Lord Zhao is a person who has contributed a lot to the Holy Religion, regardless of the great achievements of killing the enemy on the battlefield when he was young, and the governance of Wancheng has been quite effective in recent years, although he was dismissed this time, but also let me take a good look at you. Originally, Ge Qisheng was reluctant to tell Zhao Yichuan these words, but seeing that Zhao Yichuan was not as pedantic as he had heard before, he told him as soon as he was in a good mood.
Hearing this, Zhao Yichuan also knew the bottom of his heart, so he thanked him repeatedly, Ge Qisheng was also happy, and told him to let him take care of his injuries, and left.
Zhao Yichuan was unable to move, so he sent Steward Feng to deliver it, and after returning to the study by himself, he sat down and pondered for a while. After the tea, Steward Feng returned.
"Ahem, ahem... Lao Feng, how much savings do you have in the house. As soon as Zhao Yichuan opened his mouth to speak, he coughed, and now his cultivation has lost all his body and bones.
Feng Chuntang: "Back to the master, in the past few years, the lady has been bedridden all the year round, plus the need to take the elixir to increase vitality for a long time, and the old man was seriously injured a few days ago. Now there is still a savings of about 1,000 taels in the house. ”
Two taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to save money for a month, more than a thousand taels, for ordinary people, it can be said to be a windfall. However, the servants and guards of the city lord's mansion add up to dozens of people, usually eat and wear, and at the end of the month, they have to pay monthly gifts, if there is no other income, this thousand taels of silver is only enough for the city lord's mansion for three months. Zhao Yichuan was stunned for a while, and then said: "Lao Feng, these days, you have said that the valuable things in the house are all sold, and the house is all sold, and then the monthly fong on duty in the house will be settled, and when everyone leaves, they will be given ten taels of silver as severance pay." I still have the money left, so I beg you to help me choose a quieter house. ”
Lao Feng knew that Zhao Yichuan's cultivation was now completely lost, and he was demoted to a commoner by Tianzun, so he was disheartened, and without too much persuasion, he took the order and went to do something.
In order to sell the valuable items in the house, Lao Feng walked all the way through the streets and alleys, contacted old acquaintances, and looked for buyers. Originally, he found an old friend surnamed Wang, and negotiated with Lao Wang, and he was ready to sell the house and the objects in the house for 100,000 taels of silver. But I suddenly met a young man who looked young, about twenty years old: "Yo, Butler Feng~Talking about business with Boss Wang~"
Feng Chuntang saw that this person spoke frivolously and was uninhibited, and he was very displeased. Helplessly, now that Zhao Yichuan has no power in the city, he can't offend people as before. It was not rude to ask back: "Dare to ask what this son is called, who is your adult?"
"If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, you can't change your surname, you can't change your name, Hou Debao, the adults in the family are Ge Qisheng, Ge Daren!"
Feng Chuntang: "I don't know what little brother Hou has to do?" Hou Debao didn't talk nonsense: "My lord didn't have any real estate when he first came to Wancheng, and Lord Ge was happy when he heard that Steward Feng was selling the city lord's mansion everywhere, so he was ready to buy this house." ”
Feng Chuntang: "It's really unfortunate, I just discussed it with Boss Wang, and Boss Wang is ready to bid 100,000 yuan to buy everything." Brother Hou is late. Hou Debao heard that the two had already discussed, but he was not in a hurry: "Steward Feng, Master Ge said that he is willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver to take down your house, which is a great favor." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Boss Wang: "Boss Wang, what do you say?!"
Boss Wang is just a businessman, Zhao Yichuan is the city lord is a lot of convenience for him in various policies, this time the city lord of Zhao was in trouble, and Boss Wang wanted to donate generously to show support. Now that he sees that he is in the way of the new city lord, he thinks that even if he doesn't need to rely on him in Wancheng in the future, but the new city lord casually stumbles, it will make him unable to eat and walk around. Immediately took a stand and thought about Steward Feng: "Old Feng is really sorry, I suddenly wanted to come, I have to go to Shenglin City to buy a batch of goods recently, and I need a lot of funds." I'm sorry that this property purchase is inconvenient to continue. ”
"Boss Wang is a clever person, and when my family moves into the house in a few days, Boss Wang will come to eat at a bar. After Boss Wang saw that Hou Debao had given him a chance to make friends with Ge Da, the owner of the new city, he immediately thanked him repeatedly.
Feng Chuntang saw that the two sang and harmonized, and had to face the reality, offending this Ge Qisheng was to bury a threat to Zhao Yichuan that would explode at any time. Now that he is still ruined and spared disasters, he can only obey his wishes, so he also stepped forward and agreed to Hou Debao.
After Feng Chuntang returned to the mansion and told Zhao Yichuan about the incident, Zhao Yichuan did not get angry as he imagined, just nodded silently and went back to the room to rest. Looking at Zhao Yichuan's Xiao Suo's back, Feng Chuntang couldn't bear it.
