Chapter 200: Bitterness and Happiness?
"Yes, it is!"
In the small garden of the Purple Mountain Sect, Xu Zun and Zhuang Jingchang talked while walking.
Zhuang Jingcheng was telling him about the historical relationship between Xiazhou and Yonghui.
"When Taizu Li Xuanzhen recovered Xiazhou, King Xia was willing to surrender to Daxuan, but put forward several conditions," Zhuang Jingcheng said, "The most important condition is, of course, to retain the throne of the Ruan family, to allow its hereditary replacement, and so on."
"Among these conditions, it includes the fact that Daxuan cannot garrison troops in Yonghui."
"Oh?" Xu Zun hurriedly asked, "So, isn't it an unwritten rule that Yonghui can't garrison troops?" ”
"Yes, this agreement is not only proven, but it also shows that King Xia attaches great importance to my land of eternal hui." Zhuang Jingcheng said, "There are natural dangers to prevent you from Hanzhou and Shuzhou to Xiazhou, and only through Yonghui can you drive straight in, so it will be written by King Xia."
"Taizu Nian is an uncivilized and barbaric land in Xiazhou, and it is not suitable for expeditions, so he agreed to the conditions of King Xia, and from then on, Xiazhou will be incorporated into my Daxuan land.
"And I, Emperor Daxuan, keep my promise, and since the founding of the country, I have never sent troops to Yonghui!"
Oh......
Xu Zun understood that it was precisely because of this that Yonghui became a vacuum, which led to the county government becoming a decoration and the establishment of so many gangs.
"So, Ha Chau Nguyen...... Isn't it amazing? Xu Zun asked.
"Not great, right? In the past, he was just the soil emperor of Xiazhou, even if he had some strength, he was also very different from my Daxuan. Zhuang Jingcheng replied, "However, since Ruan Changkong was born a few decades ago, the situation seems to have changed slightly. ”
"Ruan Changkong?" Xu Zun searched for his memory, but no relevant content popped up.
"Lord Xu doesn't even know about the famous Shaman Sect Master, right?" Zhuang Jingcheng introduced, "Ruan Changkong is the uncle of Ruan Wenyu, the current Xia King, who is not only the pinnacle of martial arts, but also very appealing.
"Under his influence, the strength of Xiazhou has improved now, and it should be stronger than before."
Oh......
Hearing Zhuang Jingcheng's introduction, Xu Zun fell into deep thought again.
First, Qiu Dingtian died in Xiazhou, and the iron coffin case was related to the Ruan family in Xiazhou.
Second, this ghost murder case also seems to be faintly aimed at Xiazhou.
And the most important point, is the purpose of the Queen Mother sending herself to Yonghui also related to Xiazhou?
"My lord, don't worry, the wild land is always a wild land," Zhuang Jingcheng guessed Xu Zun's thoughts, and immediately said with relief, "Just a Xia Prefecture, no matter how strong the strength is, how can it pose a threat to my Daxuan?" It's not a problem at all, it's not a problem......"
"Elder Zhuang," Xu Zun thought for a moment and asked in a different direction, "What do you mean by the words that complained about you before you died?" ”
"This ...... I don't know! Zhuang Jingcheng frowned and said, "It's not a secret, Master Wan Qi is indeed a little discordant with us elders, but why he said such a thing, we really can't figure it out."
"It feels like the person who wants to destroy the Purple Mountain Sect should be him, right?"
"Why did Elder Zhuang say this?" Xu Zun was curious.
"Your Excellency may have heard of it," Zhuang Jingcheng said, "Wan Qi's temperament has changed greatly in recent years, and he has become extremely aggressive, always doing things by unscrupulous means, leaving no room for spare, and has a fight with the flower corpses of the Tan Gang.
"Those of us who are elders naturally admonish him a lot, hoping that he will be more restrained. But instead of listening, he got into trouble with us, and the relationship was very bad. ”
Zhuang Jingcheng's words, Li Rong'er did say to Xu Zun that under the leadership of Wan Qifeng, the Purple Mountain Sect has been arrogant, domineering, and very extreme in recent years.
This can be seen only through the fact that they grabbed the land of the big warehouse after Yan Sen's death.
"Lord Xu," Zhuang Jingcheng said with a fist at Xu Zun, "Actually, our Purple Mountain Sect was not like this before, although there are some means to open a mountain and establish a faction and expand the court, but things like killing people on the street can't be done no matter what, but now, alas, ......"
After Zhuang Jingcheng finished speaking, he naturally waited for Xu Zun to take over.
However, Xu Zun didn't know what he thought, so his eyes were condensed in one place, and he didn't react for a long time.
"Lord Xu...... Lord Xu? Zhuang Jingcheng raised his voice and asked, "You...... Are you alright? ”
Hearing the call, Xu Zun came to his senses and said, "Okay, I know all this!" ”
"Please rest assured, Lord Xu," Zhuang Jingcheng said sincerely, "In the future, we will definitely restrain our disciples, and there will be no more violations of law and discipline."
"In the future, my Purple Mountain Sect will also resolutely support the county government and uphold my Daxuan law. Well...... Lord Xu, about the matter of Wan Qi's master, I hope that the adults will take care of it! ”
Xu Zun understood what he meant, after all, Wan Qifeng represented the Purple Mountain faction, and if this matter was reported to the imperial court, the Purple Mountain faction would inevitably be to blame.
If it weren't for their decisive action in the Guanlan Hall and helping Xu Zun and the others, I am afraid that they would be severely punished in the future, and even in danger of being destroyed.
"Elder Zhuang," Xu Zun said as he looked at Zhuang Jingcheng with great seriousness, "If you want to keep your Purple Mountain Sect, you have to look at your performance."
"I have a chance to make meritorious contributions to you now, I don't know, are you willing?"
"Yes, yes!" Zhuang Jingcheng hurriedly bowed to the end and promised, "The Purple Mountain Sect is willing to listen to Lord Xu's orders......"
……
An hour later, at the wharf of the Bitter River, there was a drunkard where a ghost killed someone.
Xu Zun sat on the seat by the river, holding a pot of freshly scalded wine, and took a sip gently.
Because it is brewed with bitter river water, the wine has a pungent bitterness, but for some reason, after smacking the taste, this bitterness is slightly sweet.
Don't...... Is this the legendary bitterness?
Da, da......
At this time, Li Rong'er, who was bandaged with gauze, staggered to sit down in front of Xu Zun.
"Gang Master Li," Xu Zun was a little surprised, and hurriedly said, "You are so seriously injured, let's take a rest in the car!" ”
Li Rong'er looked at Xu Zun blankly, and after staring for a long time, she actually took the wine jug from Xu Zun's hand, and then raised her neck and took a big sip.
Seeing this, Xu Zun knew that Li Rong'er had something to say, so he had to make a look at Zhao Yu and the others, and Zhao Yu and the others withdrew from the wine shop, leaving only the two of them.
"Master Xu......" Li Rong'er put down the wine jug, and looked at Xu Zun with complicated eyes for a long time, before she said, "Since there are traitors around me, then by analogy, Yan Sen and Tao Lang are the same!" ”
"Well," Xu Zun nodded, "That's why I'm here to re-investigate the scene." ”
"My sister is dead," Li Rong'er said expressionlessly, "Help me find out the murderer behind the scenes, Sanhe will help you!" ”
Although Li Rong'er's face was expressionless, tears were dripping silently.
"It's serious," Xu Zun said, "It seems that Gang Leader Li also thinks that the mastermind of this case is not Wan Qifeng alone?" ”
"Such a big game is definitely not something that Wan Qifeng can complete alone!" Li Rong'er said, "Besides, the chaos in Yonghui is not good for their Purple Mountain Sect, I really can't think of why they would do this!"
"I'm also wondering, why are they doing this?
"Ahem...... Ahem......" After a burst of coughing, she added, "and...... Call me Rong'er in the future......"
