Chapter Eighty-Six: The Southern Regions
......
Qingdi City, Military Case Division. [Ran^Text^Library] []
"Kuang Ru, let me remind you that the matter of building a sect is not within the purview of the Military Case Division, let alone something that you, a supervising captain, can interfere in!" Ju Mang slapped the table and shouted.
Kuang Ru smiled slightly after hearing this, and said slowly: "Your Excellency, please calm your anger, your subordinates naturally know that this is the duty of the elder group, but I don't know if you have thought about one thing?"
"Whatever your purpose, this sentence should not be said by you!"
"You can cure the sins of your subordinates, but your subordinates still have to say, although this Zen Sword Pavilion is applying for reconstruction, don't forget, who is the real leader after the establishment of the Zen Sword Pavilion!"
Ju Mang obviously ran out of patience and was about to scold, but Kuang Ru preemptively said: "Gongzi's death is inseparable from Qin Qi, don't you really want to do anything?"
Suddenly, Ju Mang was stunned, a murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and then his expression was a little stiff.
Seeing this, Kuang Ru struck while the iron was hot and added, "Because of this, you need to allow the reconstruction of the Zen Sword Pavilion!"
"You also know that Qin Qi now belongs to the Dragon Clan, he is completely uncontrolled by us, and the battle of Qingyun City has won the hearts of the people, and there is a divine protection gate behind him, and now even the eighteen sects of the Western Regions have now taken refuge in the Sword Gate, and sometimes, the earth snake is more difficult than the mountain tiger!"
Ju Mang fell into deep thought, but did not speak.
"However, if you rebuild the Zen Sword Pavilion, even if he Qin Qi is a dragon clan, then according to the decree of the Emperor of Heaven, it will also be under the jurisdiction of the elders of the Mu clan, and when the time comes, you will have to kill and scrape, and if you want to destroy and stay, it's not all in your thoughts! And even the dragon clan and the Divine Protector Sect can't say anything!" Kuang Ru bowed down and said slowly.
"Kuang Ru!" Ju Mang slowly walked to the window and said quietly, "Do you know what I'm thinking right now?"
"Hehe, how dare your subordinates speculate on the intentions of adults?"
Ju Mang slowly turned around at this time, the essence in his eyes flickered, he looked at Kuang Ru and said with a smile: "I'm thinking, what kind of purpose did Qin Qi send you here for?"
Kuang Ru's face froze when he heard this, but he regained his composure in an instant, looking at Ju Mang and smiling without saying a word.
Kuang Ru didn't know if Ju Mang already knew his details, or if he was testing himself, and when he didn't know the other party's true intentions, the simplest and most effective countermeasure was to shut up.
Only by shutting up can you let Jumang continue.
And only by letting Jumang continue to say that he knows what to say and what not to say.
But Ju Mang obviously didn't mean to continue, and looked at Kuang Ru with a smile on his face, his eyes deep and cold.
Kuang Ru lowered his head and said nothing, only in this way could Ju Mang not see his eyes, Kuang Ru believed that even if Ju Mang didn't find anything, as long as he saw his eyes, he would definitely be able to find something.
The dignified wood god, who has seen too many people and experienced too many things in the past hundred years, can make the Mu clan not decline for decades in the case of the disappearance of the Qing Emperor, such a person must have a city that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Even if Ju Mang doesn't investigate, he will definitely be able to find something from the clues, and even if he can't find anything, he will definitely be able to be alert to something.
After all, Kuang Ru is still too young, so young that he can detect his difference with just one sentence.
Kuang Ru still didn't speak, and a trace of sweat was already pouring out of his palms.
Ju Mang also didn't speak, as if he had sensed Kuang Ru's abnormality, but he was waiting.
Finally, fine beads of sweat appeared on Kuang Ru's forehead, and he couldn't stand Ju Mang's penetrating gaze, in front of Ju Mang, he seemed to be like a three-year-old child, without any secrets, and was stripped clean and his body was incomplete.
"Great, my lord, my subordinates deserve death!" Kuang Ru's knees weakened and he knelt down in front of Ju Mang.
Ju Mang looked at Kuang Ru coldly, and a faint smile appeared on his expressionless face.
"What are you guilty of?" said Ju Mang with a smile at last.
"The humiliation of Qingyun City that day, Kuang Ru is unforgettable, today's words are completely out of his own selfishness, and I hope that the adults will punish the crime!" Kuang Ru still didn't dare to raise his head.
"Hehe, Kuang Ru, do you know what this seat likes you the most?" Ju Mang looked at Kuang Ru and said slowly.
"My subordinates don't know!" Kuang Ru suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this.
"Because you're smart!"
After finishing speaking, Ju Mang immediately said: "Then do you know what this seat dislikes you the most?"
Kuang Ru shook his head slightly.
"Because you're not smart enough!" Ju Mang's voice was so small that it seemed to be heard only when Kuang Ru listened attentively.
Kuang Ru was a little puzzled after hearing this, and raised his head slightly to look at Jumang.
"The more you cover up some things, the more flaws will be revealed, and you talk too much, so you are not smart enough!" Ju Mang smiled slightly, but his eyes became more and more aggressive.
"The subordinates know that they are wrong!" Kuang Ru hurriedly said, and this sentence made Kuang Ru feel a little uneasy.
"I have my own arrangements for the affairs of the Zen Sword Pavilion, the most important thing for you now is to be your supervising captain, as for other things, turning a blind eye and turning a deaf ear is the best attitude!"
It wasn't until a long time after Jumang had left that Kuang Ru stood up with trembling legs, and through the wooden window, Kuang Ru's gaze looked complicated and full of questions.
Seven days later, when the approval for the reconstruction of the Zen Sword Pavilion reached Huo Qing's hands, everyone's faces were filled with tears in addition to joy.
For these Zen Sword Pavilion disciples, this is not just a piece of paper, but also represents an explanation to the master and all the dead Zen Sword Pavilion masters and brothers.
"What about Qin Qi?!" Huo Qing wiped the tears from his eyes and smiled.
"I don't know, I haven't been in touch since I left with that girl!" Tian Ying shook her head and replied.
"Has he ever explained where he went? The Zen Sword Pavilion was rebuilt, and it could never be called perfect without him!" Huo Qing frowned and asked again.
"I asked him, but he didn't say it, he only said that he was going to do one thing, and he took away all the twelve demon beasts of Qingyun Mountain!" Tian Ying replied helplessly.
Huo Qing's brows tightened when he heard this, as if he had an ominous premonition in his heart, and after thinking about it, he said: "Tell me to go down, use all our strength, and be sure to find him!"
"I'm afraid, he has already left the Western Regions, and with the power of the Sword Gate in the Western Regions, he also knows that he can't hide it from us at all! And he not only chose to hide it, but also took away the twelve demon beasts, so I'm worried that he must have some kind of big thing that can't be solved, and all the sword gates can't solve it!" Xu Kuo said slowly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly became worried.
"No matter what, we must find him!" Huo Qing snapped the case and roared loudly.
......
Southern Regions of the Wood Tribe.
The smoke of the war has not yet dissipated, although the battle ended with the Mu tribe recovering all the lost territory, but for the people of the Southern Regions, the pain of losing their loved ones will always become the deepest and untouchable scar in their hearts.
With the lessons of the past, the Mu Clan's Military Crime Division deployed up to 200,000 troops in the Southern Regions, forming an unbreakable and solid defense line along the 300-mile border of the Mu and Huo Clans.
As for these sects in the Southern Regions, although they were also somewhat affected by the war, their overall strength was not affected in the slightest.
There are a total of ten cities in the Southern Regions, and there are hundreds of large and small sects, among which twenty-three sects are among the seventy-two sects of the Mu Clan, and their strength should not be underestimated.
But even in the Southern Regions, which has such a strong strength, when the Fire Clan invaded, none of the twenty-three sects came forward, on the contrary, there were dozens of third-rate sects that played a vital role in the war against the Fire Clan.
People are like this, the more they have, the more they are afraid of losing, and this is especially true of these so-called powerful sects.
In the midst of the war, everyone only wanted to protect themselves and gave up the most basic bottom line of being a Mu clan, of course, this has a certain relationship with the clan rules, but the most important thing is the lack of a sense of honor of the Mu clan.
On the official road, a black-clothed young man with a sword sat on the back of a nine-tailed leopard, indifferent to the devastation around him.
Because he has experienced too much along the way, and has seen too much, and because he has no time to care about it at this moment.
Behind him was a one-horned wolf, and on the wolf's back was a young girl, her white hands clutching the wolf's mane tightly, but her face was pale with her eyes closed.
After the two of them galloped for a long time, the young man slowed down and said to the girl behind him: "Miss Ling'er, how far is this Luzhou City?"
The girl only opened her eyes after hearing this, looked around and said, "It's not far, it's about ten miles away!"
"Okay, then let's rest when we get to Luzhou City!" After the young man said that, the leopard under the seat rose on all fours and swept forward quickly, and the one-horned giant wolf behind him was not to be outdone.
The girl was about to speak, but the one-horned wolf suddenly jumped and was so frightened that she hurriedly grabbed her mane and closed her eyes.
......
Luozhou City, located on the north side of the southern region of the Mu tribe, close to the Central Plains, is also the most prosperous place among the ten cities in the southern region.
It was also this impregnable city that blocked the Fire Clan's army in the Southern Regions that day, winning precious time for the Wood Clan's army to assemble.
Looking at the huge city wall in front of him, the young man's face looked thoughtful.
"Young Master Qin, when are we going to Xuantian Pavilion?" the girl behind her asked cautiously.
After hearing this, the young man thought for a while and replied, "Don't worry, let's talk about it in the city!"
This young man is Qin Qi, and that girl is the maid who went to the Sword Gate that day.
The girl's face was a little unnatural when she heard this, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it after all.
Entering the city, although Qin Qi has never been to this Luzhou City, judging from the bustling scene in this city, this is a place that is no less than the Qingdi City.
However, Qin Qi didn't have the heart to pay attention to these, because of one person, Qin Qi had to face all this alone, unknown forces, unknown conspiracies and unknown people.
After the two of them found an inn to live in, the girl knocked on Qin Qi's door.
