Chapter 177: Zhu Immortal

Back in Yuanxi County, Song Gao leads troops to escort Fluttershy back to Huajun to make arrangements.

Ning Ze also asked Liang Wu to go back to the house and take a little bit.

Because of the previous assassin's incident, Ning Ze "almost died", and the Yuanxi County Commander attached great importance to this matter, and ordered the county lieutenant to lead 400 soldiers to protect Liu Yuanxiang and Ning Ze to avoid a similar situation from happening again.

It would not be a joke if two big men had problems in their own jurisdiction. It's okay to say that the black yarn on the top is not guaranteed, but if you lose your head if it's serious, it's over!

Liu Yuanxiang wants to set up a princess's mansion in Yuanxi County, after all, this is his fiefdom. Because she used to be the king of Lingnan, "Princess Yuanxi" has died in the eyes of the world, and of course it is impossible to grow up and set up a princess's mansion in the fief given by the first emperor.

Now that she has been restored to the status of Princess Won-hee, that is a necessary thing.

The establishment of the princess's mansion is a symbol, and it is also a way to declare identity and legitimacy.

Of course, being an ordinary county order is completely different from the county order of being a princess's fief. What's more, Princess Yuanxi in front of her has already controlled the land of Sanzhou, although there is a possibility of being overtaken by the military advisor Ning Ze, looking at her interaction with Ning Ze, the relationship between the two seems to be unusual.

If Ning Ze had no ambition, he would definitely assist Liu Yuanxiang to become bigger and stronger, and even if Ning Ze was ambitious, he would need to use Liu Yuanxiang's identity to firmly consolidate her position. No matter what way it is, it doesn't hurt to become a princess fiefdom. Even after the princess's mansion is built, you can arrange for the people around you to be royal officials such as family orders, division chiefs, and family officials, after all, Princess Yuanxi has no foundation here, and she needs her own assistance to stabilize the situation. If you do your best to help and give you a peach, the other party will repay you.

Therefore, he handed over the affairs of the county to the deputy for the time being, and personally accompanied Princess Yuanxi Liu Yuanxiang and military advisor Ning Ze to look at the land in the county and select the most suitable address for the construction of the princess's mansion.

Picking and choosing, Liu Yuanxiang took a fancy to a Chinese residential area in the east city of Yuanxi County.

The county magistrate immediately sent people to find out about the situation, and then contacted the local wealthy households to expropriate the largest area of Chinese residential land in the name of the official.

The mansion was owned by Jia Xiong, a wealthy businessman, who was not happy at first when he learned that Duke Yuan Xi mainly expropriated his own land and demolished all the buildings to build the princess's mansion.

He thought that the government's expropriation was tantamount to forcibly taking away the land and kicking out his family.

However, Liu Yuanxiang said that he would buy the land at the official price, so that the Jia family would not suffer losses, and as long as the Jia family cooperated, they could also give a lot of policy preferences to make it more convenient for them to do business.

Jia Xiong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately agreed.

After negotiating this matter, Ning Ze went out to discuss the follow-up construction of the princess's mansion with the county commander and Jia Xiong.

Jia Xiong took the initiative to undertake the task of building the princess's mansion, and the county commander was also willing to fully cooperate, and there was no obstacle to the negotiation, and a consensus was quickly reached.

The county magistrate and the Jia family are responsible for the construction of the princess's mansion together, and as long as Liu Yuanxiang allocates the money, construction will start immediately.

After solving this problem, it is already afternoon.

Jia Xiong hosted a banquet for Liu Yuanxiang, Ning Ze, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant in his restaurant.

When the wine was half-drunk, I heard the sound of gongs and drums outside, and it became lively in an instant.

"What's going on outside?" asked Liu Yuanxiang curiously.

When the county commander heard this sound, he knew it in his heart, and replied respectfully: "It must be Zhu Shenxian preaching, and the people will accompany him." ”

"Zhu Shenxian, who is it?" Liu Yuanxiang had never heard of it, after all, it was the first time he went to his fiefdom.

"Lord Yu, this Zhu Shenxian is a native of Yuanxi County, and he is a scholar. He participated in the scientific examination at the age of sixteen, and now he is seven out of fifty, and he still can't get into Xiucai. But a year ago, I suddenly got the guidance of the gods in a dream and learned spells. It can cure all kinds of diseases with rune water, which is quite powerful. Every time Zhu Shenxian came out to preach, the people would gather. ”

"Oh~" Liu Yuanxiang turned his head to look at Ning Ze, and said in his heart that this Zhu Immortal is also a person with immortal fate, the same as a military advisor?

Ning Ze frowned when he heard this, he didn't believe in any immortal preaching, he was all a lie, presumably this Zhu immortal also had a problem.

The local county magistrate and wealthy businessmen didn't care, but he thought of Zhang Jiao for the first time.

This Zhu Immortal deceived the people with Fu Shui, in case of ambition, most of this feudal society was superstitious, and the ignorant people without formal education were easily instigated by it, and when they fell, they were likely to become the seeds of chaos in Jinzhou.

Thinking of this, he immediately turned to Liu Yuanxiang: "Lord, the lower officials want to see what this Zhu Immortal is capable of, why don't you go out and see it?"

"It's okay!" Liu Yuanxiang smiled and nodded.

She thought that Ning Ze had obtained the fairy fate by herself, so she was particularly interested in meeting people in the same situation.

So Ning Ze took Liu Yuanxiang downstairs and went to the street to find the Zhu Immortal.

The county commander, the county lieutenant, and Jia Xiong immediately followed.

There were a sea of people on the streets, and hundreds of people gathered to listen to Zhu Shenxian's preaching.

Soon in the sound of gongs and drums, I saw a special sedan chair, more than a dozen men wearing Taoist robes, looking like disciples carrying sedan chairs, and people in front of them who also looked like disciples knocked gongs to open the way, holding high the banner of "Zhu Shenxian", and the pomp was quite big.

On the sedan chair, there sat a white-bearded old man wearing a yellow robe with a crane hair and a childish face, holding a whisk in his hand, closing his eyes in a meditative posture, and motionless.

The life expectancy of this feudal society is generally not high, and fifty-seven years old is already considered old. Probably because of the pressure of life, there are many people with white heads and white beards at this age.

This Zhu Shenxian looked very good, and the people on both sides of the street were also respectful and respectful to him.

The county commander turned his head and said to the county lieutenant: "You send someone to stop the sedan chair, just say that Princess Yuanxi is here, please come over and see it!"

Before the county lieutenant nodded, Ning Ze stretched out his hand to stop the county order, and said with a smile: "Don't alarm the people! You wait here to protect the lord, this official will meet this Zhu Immortal in the past." ”

Although he didn't know what he was going to do, what Ning Ze said was more effective than Liu Yuanxiang, and everyone knew that it was the young man in front of him who really held the power in Jinzhou now.

So the county commander and the county lieutenant respectfully agreed and retreated to the back to protect Liu Yuanxiang.

Ning Ze squeezed through the crowd and entered the middle of the street alone.

"Hey, who are you? Don't run into the gods. Immediately, some people shouted at him, after all, not many people had seen him, and he was now wearing civilian clothes, so he was not recognized for a while.

If you were in Hwaswagun, this would not be the case.

The people were very conscious of standing on both sides of the street, making way for Zhu Shenxian's team, and many people saw Ning Ze, who suddenly rushed out and blocked the road, and shouted for him to retreat.

Ning Ze didn't pay attention to it, and faced Zhu Shenxian's team with his hands in his hands, motionless.

When the team came to the front, the Zhu Immortal disciple in front of him showed a look of displeasure: "Who is blocking the road and still not getting out of the way?"

Many people next to him shouted to Ning Ze to give way and not to block Zhu Shenxian.

Ning Ze was unmoved, and said with a smile: "I heard that there is a Zhu Immortal here who is proficient in spells, and he happens to know a little bit about it, so I came to ask for advice!"

"What kind of person is the master, this trip is to preach for the people, how can you have time to pay attention to the idle people?

Ning Ze smiled, and with a wave of his right hand forward, a firelight appeared "whirring", and the people were shocked.

The disciples in front were also startled, and did not dare to approach Ning Ze again, so they hurriedly retreated to the side of the sedan chair and prayed to Zhu Shenxian.

In fact, Ning Ze has always carried things to bluff people with him, but the props with phosphorus powder hidden in his sleeves are opened and sprinkled a little.

After all, in this superstitious feudal society, pretending to be a ghost is quite useful. Maybe it will come in handy at some point, and anything that can be used, naturally carry it close to you.

After the disciple over there prayed, Zhu Shenxian slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on Ning Ze.

Ning Ze smiled and looked at him.

After Zhu Shenxian looked at Ning Ze, he said: "Since you are a fellow Taoist, come forward and see you!"

The disciple immediately got out of the way and asked Ning Ze to come over.

Ning Ze smiled and walked to the front of the sedan chair: "You are Zhu Shenxian?"

"Poor Dao Zhu Xing, I don't know where Your Excellency came from?" Zhu Shenxian said.

"You don't care who I am or where I come from!" Ning Ze said, "I heard that Zhu Shenxian is proficient in spells, so I came here to ask for advice!"

"If this is the case, the poor road will be in front of the people to solve their doubts, and your Excellency can accompany me to listen to my sermon!"

"I have no intention of listening to your preaching, pointing to ask for spells!" Ning Ze smiled, "Or, I want to fight with you!"

"Bold!" a disciple said angrily when he heard this, "What kind of identity is the master, you say that you will fight the law?"

"Could it be that Immortal Zhu is afraid?" Ning Ze ignored the disciple and looked directly at Zhu Xing.

Zhu Xing said with a smile: "The poor Taoist has passed on the art of immortals, and he is proficient in all kinds of spells. What are you capable of?"

"Coincidentally!" Ning Ze replied, "I was also taught by the immortals and learned a spell. I heard the name of Zhu Shenxian, and I came to receive it!"

"Immortals pass on their arts, not to fight bravely for good. Zhu Xing shook his head, "The spell is only for Puji to save the people!"

"It's not brave and ruthless to fight down there," Ning Ze said with a smile, "When there are too many people who cheat today, if what Zhu Shenxian is used to is a deception, why should the people be innocent? No one is allowed to deceive the people!"

The people were talking on both sides, and they were surprised by the development of this matter.

Zhu Xing heard Ning Ze say this, and his face was uneasy. He didn't want to pay attention to Ning Ze, if the other party came to find it privately, he would just blow it away. However, it is impossible to do so because the people are gathered here, otherwise the people will think that they are cowardly and affect the fame that they have won so hard.

Seeing that Ning Ze was so young, he thought that no matter how high the means were, it would be impossible for him to accumulate more, so he said: "Since Your Excellency has to fight the law, you will be accompanied by the poor way." It's just that the fighting method also says, how do all parties win or lose?"

"If you lose in the next fight, apologize to Zhu Shenxian in front of the people and recognize your name as an immortal;" Ning Ze said with a smile, "At the same time, I will offer a thousand taels of silver!"

Zhu Xing was stunned when he heard this, and the disciples around him, as well as the people around him, also showed shock.

Whoever this young man is, he must have a lot of background.

Seeing that the other party was stunned, and the people were discussing, Ning Ze continued: "If Your Excellency loses the fighting method, it is very simple!

"What do you want?" Zhu Xing frowned.

"I'll talk about it then!" Ning Ze smiled, "Your Excellency, do you dare to take it?"
