This is the southernmost state of the Chonglong Continent and the Flying Bear State among the four southern states of the Gale Empire.

The Gale Empire is one of the three major empires of the Chonglong Continent, and its territory is far wider than that of the Star Empire and the Jinqiu Empire, which are also the three major empires.

And Feixiong Prefecture is the southern important town of the Gale Empire, bordering the Broken Sea in the south, and is the shipping center of the Gale Empire.

The whole Feixiong State, with cars and boats, shops and streets, and people surging together, is a prosperous scene.

Feixiong Prefecture, the governor of the state capital, and his lord, are very happy today, because ten days will be his 50th birthday, and he has received the news that the Holy Lord will entitle him as the Taishi on his 50th birthday, so as the governor of a state, the important minister of the powerful side, it is also a happy thing to be able to receive the honor of being the Taishi.

And the happiness of the father and the adults not only comes from this, just a month ago, he received the good news that his beloved son and father Zhongxing won the third good news in the just-concluded imperial examination.

So that an old and serious father will also inadvertently show a satisfied smile.

At this moment, the father and the father stood in the state capital, dozens of feet high, closed his eyes, faced the strong wind of the horn, and the heroic feelings in his heart were infinitely agitated.

Ever since he became a member of the party, he has been very fond of this feeling of being in a high place, this feeling of being in a high place, this feeling of being in control, and everything in his eyes, this feeling of being on top of him has made him extremely satisfied.

However, he is the honor of a state, but at this time, the guards behind him seem a little thin, and there are only three men in strong suits and a scholar with a sallow face.

And the four of them were silent, as if they didn't exist, only the father and the whole were in love to relax their mood.

But just by looking at the father and his relaxed state, you can know that these four people are not only his confidants, but also make him completely at ease, otherwise, even as a member of the party, the father will not expose such an empty door in front of people.

"Tell the state lord, Xiao Tianshi is visiting~!" Just when everything seemed to be still, the flag commander suddenly came to report.

"Oh?!let him wait for a while~!" Zai Father, who was in a good mood, frowned slightly when he heard this, and after nodding his head slightly, he signaled the flag commander to retreat.

"Xiao Tianshi, Xiao Tu, what is he doing here at this time?" said Zai Father as if talking to himself.

"Ahem, ahem.. It should be for the sake of opening the altar to preach the Fa. The scholar-like man hurriedly stepped forward to answer, but as he spoke, he unconsciously showed a painful face, as if every word he said had to take all his strength.

"Boqiu, do you think I should give him immediately..."The face of the father remained unchanged, but his tone turned cold.

"Governor, this matter is too important to talk about here. The sick scholar-like man hurriedly stopped.

"Okay, you come with me to take a look, Sanwei doesn't need to go, I don't want Xiao Tu to know too much. Father Zai nodded after a moment of contemplation.

"Yes!" the three men in strong suits whispered at the same time.

Inside the main hall of the state capital.

The servants were very busy, and ten days later it was their master's birthday feast.

I heard that the eldest son, who has just been awarded the title of Captain of the Imperial City, will also come back.

The old man is in a high position, and there must be many officials from the DPRK and China who come to congratulate, and all preparations must be made in advance for such an important matter, after all, this kind of major event must not go wrong.

So every servant was busy nervously and happily.

In the busyness, no one noticed that a middle-aged man who looked like an outsider walked in.

This person is kind-looking, with casual confidence at the corners of his mouth all year round, and his sideburns are a little gray but very decently trimmed.

Not only that, although this person did not walk fast, but he was extremely serious, examining the surrounding arrangement.

He was followed closely by a yellow-clothed scholar, whose face was full of illness and looked weak.

These two unhurried paceholders, satisfied with the reviews everywhere, busy handymen, are none other than the Flying Bear Prefecture Ruler Father and his chief military advisor "Disease Scholar" Boqiu.

After the two of them looked at it, they were busy arranging the lobby of Zhongzhou Mansion, then turned the main hall and walked towards the living room.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw a tall and thin Taoist with his back to the door, looking up to admire the calligraphy and paintings in the living room.

"Hehe, Xiao Xianshi, it's too late for Benzhou~!" Zai's father smiled very kindly, like an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years.

Hearing the voice, the Daoist hurriedly turned around, but after a quick pause, he smiled and said, "How dare you, it's this way to disturb the state capital."

"I don't know what is important for the immortal master today, so that he visited Honshu late at night?" Looking at Xiao Tu's nervous appearance, Father Zai and Yiheng in his heart, but his face remained unchanged.

"Oh, this is the poor road's inconsiderateness, but it will be the birthday of the state capital in a few days, although the poor road has no long things, but you should also do some good, not to mention the state capital's birthday, the whole country celebrates, how dare the poor road not come. Xiao Tu said with a smile on his face, and with a flick of his hand, he conjured up a golden and brilliant small box, surrounded by purple gas, and he knew at a glance that it was not ordinary.

"What is this?" said Zaifu deliberately confused.

"Hehe, this thing is the dew of the sky, which was accidentally obtained overseas by the poor road a few days ago, and it does have the effect of adding longevity, and I hope the state capital will accept it. Xiao Tu had a sneer on his face at the moment, how could he have the demeanor of an immortal master.

"Oh, hehe, the immortal master is so generous, I don't know how to repay it?" Father Zai and smiled very happily, and he didn't wait for Xiao Tu to open his mouth and continued: "Except for the matter of opening the altar, if you ask for anything else, this state will agree to everything."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Xiao Tu's face suddenly froze, and he couldn't help but beg with a bitter face: "Lord Zhoufu, opening the altar is the number of lives given to the poor Dao by my patriarch, if I can't open the altar before the end of this year, my life will be lost, I ask the Lord of the State Mansion to fulfill it and save the lives of the poor Dao~!"

"Although this matter is not a big deal, but the current Holy Emperor firmly believes in the Tianyi of the Great Teacher, although the Immortal Master has the Dao Law, but he is not a disciple of the National Teacher, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that the Great Master is to blame, and Benzhou can't bear it." Father Zai shook his head.

"Lord of the state capital, the poor road opened the altar just to avoid disasters, after the altar was opened, all the believers' donations and offerings belonged to the state government, but I beg the state government to save me~!" Xiao Tu's face changed again.

"This... Father Zai hesitated.

"Ahem... Cough, my lord, the matter of Immortal Master Xiao is human nature, and Immortal Master is just to save his life, and he will not blame him if he wants to come to the Great Teacher. Boqiu said.

"Oh!?" Father Zai was puzzled, but years of trust still made him nod and said, "Boqiu thinks this is feasible, how to deal with being blamed by the national teacher?"

Bo Qiu stroked his undulating chest, bowed to the Zai Father first, and then said to Xiao Tu: "Immortal Master, I have three things that I need to ask the Immortal Master to agree, if the Immortal Master agrees, then the opening of the altar should be fine." ”

"Sir, please. Hearing that things had taken a turn for the better, Xiao Tu hurriedly responded.

"First, please set the opening site of the altar two hundred miles away from our state city, these two, although the immortal master is in a hurry, but the opening of the altar must also be carried out after fifty days, cough... Cough.. As for the third, it is the most important. Please ask the immortal master to secretly accept my lord as an apprentice and give him a token of inheritance. If these three things are accomplished, I have a way to make the national teacher blame my family for his poor performance. Boqiu said slowly.

As soon as the words were finished, Xiao Tu's face was strange, and he hesitated for a moment before sighing: "These three things have been agreed, Mr. Bo is so calculating~!"

"Ahem. The immortal master misunderstood, ahem.. Although these three points are a bit selfish, they are all planned for the immortal master~!" Bo Qiu paused and then said: "This first point is to deceive the upper listening, even if the emperor has someone to know, my family can also claim that the overseas immortal master does not know the inside, and the next is not an example." Ahem. Second, because it will be my lord's fiftieth birthday in the near future, and it will be the young lord who will be revealed, it will inevitably be a hundred officials to congratulate him, and there will be many people. Ahem.. As for these three. I hope that only my family, the immortal master, the young master and the old minister know, and if necessary, the immortal master can show the identity of the young master and the master, and declare to the imperial capital that he is opening the door to accept apprentices. Ahem. With these three points, it can be guaranteed. ”

After hearing this, Father Zai thought about it in his heart, and said to Xiao Tu: "What does the immortal master think of the meaning of the uncle?"

Listening to Bo Qiu's explanation, Xiao Tu's face slowly agreed: "Lord Zhou, I have already agreed to this matter. Just do as Mr. Bo wants. ”

Seeing that the matter was resolved, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and then diverted the topic to the birthday banquet, naturally they were all full of joy and talked happily.

After a while, Xiao Tu saw that the goal had been achieved, and bowed to his father and said: "Lord of the state capital, there is still some preparation for opening the altar in the poor Taoist temple, so I won't stay for long, farewell, farewell." ”

"In this case, Benzhou will not be forced to stay, and the old man's birthday banquet will also invite the immortal master to arrive early, Bo beg, send the immortal master for me. Father Zai said sincerely.

"Naturally, naturally~!" Xiao Tu hurriedly replied.

"Immortal Master, please~!" Bo Qiu stepped forward and invited.

Xiao Tu hurriedly returned the salute and walked out with Boqiu.

"Hmph~!" Seeing Bo Qiu walking slowly away in the direction of the mansion gate with Xiao Tu, the originally kind Zai Father and his face turned cold, and after snorting lightly, he turned around and walked towards the back garden.

In a side room in the back garden of the state capital, the father of Zai who was standing in it suddenly pointed to a wall, and after a dazzling fingering, he only heard a sound of wave ~! There were three buttons in the grid, and Xiao Tu pressed it to the left, and the ground in the middle slowly sank, and soon a dark hole appeared.

When the entrance stopped, he walked in, and after a fork in the road, he entered a room on the left side of the passage. The bright lights in the room contrasted sharply with the dimness in the dark passages, and at this moment there were three men in the room who were still waiting with their heads down.

"Leopard Guard, you go and bring Böqiu. "Father Zai said slowly.

"Yes~!" the next man in a strong suit arrived, and then shook for a while, and his figure left the room.

Seeing the leopard guard leaving, Zai Father nodded with satisfaction and said to the other two, "Sit down." ”

The other two big men sat down silently, * Sanwei is his own brother, if anyone looks at the three of them carefully, they must be surprised, the three heroes of the Gong family who were killed by the Jinqiu Empire's sword saint Yanluo back then, are all alive and well at this moment.

It was in that incident that the three of them were saved by the father of the slaughter, and since then they have been willing to stay in the father and his side to be reused, and become his three guards, at this time the three brothers' martial arts have reached the innate realm, and the tiger guard has reached the middle of the congenital stage, which is the trump card of the father and the hand.

You know, this kind of cultivation is very remarkable, people at birth inhaled the acquired turbidity, polluted the body of the fetal breath, can only gradually practice martial arts to strengthen the body, ordinary people can practice hard for ten years can enter the early stage of the day after tomorrow, among which there are outstanding people have the opportunity to go further, into the middle of the day after tomorrow, and the vast majority of people's achievements stop at the middle of the day after tomorrow.

Only a small number of people can reach the late stage of the day after tomorrow, at this time they can already be regarded as masters, it is already quite difficult, but if you want to go one step further and enter the innate realm, it can be regarded as difficult to climb to the sky, first of all, you must have your own peerless talent, and secondly, you must have a kind of practice that can be cultivated to the innate realm, with these, it depends on personal fate and understanding.

Many people will not be able to surpass the innate threshold in their lifetime, and once they do, they can far surpass their generation and become a master in the world, and Sanwei is undoubtedly this kind of master.

Sure enough, it only took a cup of tea for the leopard guard to come to the room with a sickly face, and the speed was extremely fast.

"Let's all sit down~, this is not outside, don't be restrained. Seeing the personnel arrive at Qi Zai's father and smiled.

Bo Qiu and Leopard Wei hurriedly bowed down to agree, after all, there was no restraint, and the father and the father were their masters.

"Why?" After Berqiu and the leopard guard sat down slowly, the father asked questions, not facing anyone, because he knew that Berqiu would explain everything.

"Ahem.. My lord, since my emperor complied with the will of the great master and asked all places to inquire about the seven maps of Tongtian, although all places have been diligent in searching, they have no ulterior motives, cough... Cough.. Only the Lord knew his intention to enter the court to see the driver, and learned that my emperor wanted to get the seven maps to control the national teacher, so as to avoid the secret investigation of the Ming Road, and recently learned that one of the seven maps may fall into the hands of Xiao Tu, so he used the opening of the altar to restrict his movements, waiting for the opportunity to seize it, cough.. Cough.. Although Xiao Tu seems to be mediocre, he is actually as careful as a hair, and he actually hides the treasure map without a trace, so that we can't find it several times in secret searches. It's all that remains to kill people and grab treasures. It's just that Xiao Tu's cultivation has already reached the middle stage of innate status, and it is very likely that he will escape after making a move. The mere act of doing something in the city needs to be carefully considered, after all, Xiao Tu's influence is not small, and once he is moved, it will definitely cause his Taoist temple and followers to revolt indignantly, and even inspire a popular uprising. Ahem.. Although it is not a major event, but after this fight, the matter of the Seven Pictures must not be hidden, and once it is heard by the national teacher, it will definitely damage the great event of the saint. Secondly, even if we kill Xiao Tu, the seven pictures are still nowhere to be found, and the gains outweigh the losses. If you don't take the opening of the altar as a guide to lead him to the bait, one is to turn him away on the day of the opening of the altar so that we can search for his Taoist temple, and the other is to monitor his movements in the name of guards. Cough.. Cough.. If the collection in the city is fruitless, when he returns to the state, the tiger guard will catch him by surprise and interrogate him slowly, and at the same time, he can claim that Xiao Tu is in retreat or wandering to the closed heaven. As for the third point, let the young master worship him as a teacher, but at the same time, he took the opportunity to listen to the meaning of the whereabouts of the seven maps, and with the wisdom of the young master, he must be able to win his heart and prepare for the next action. Boqiu explained.

"Then what do we need to do now?" Father Zai still had a plan in mind after listening to Boqiu's explanation, but he still asked quietly.

Bo Qiu naturally knew the psychology of his master, and continued to explain and analyze: "We can take three steps, the first step is to come back quickly and enter Xiao Tu's side as soon as possible, so as to respond. The second step is to let Fu Jiu lead the Eagle Battalion of the three battalions in the mansion to monitor the forces within two hundred miles outside the city, find the place where Xiao Tu opened the altar in advance, and find out the only way for Xiao Tu to return as soon as possible, so as to facilitate our interception afterwards. Ahem.. At the same time, let the wolf battalion in the three battalions catch more of the gangsters in the city and go to the state capital prison, and wait for me personally*, while Xiao Tu is opening the altar and employing people, or blind or mixed into Xiao Tu's Qingfeng concept, Xiao Tu will not be guarded against these people, and then he can become a surprise soldier. Finally, let the bear battalion in the three battalions prepare the thunder train, when necessary. Cough. Cough.. Kill all the people present..."

"Thunder train, is there too much movement?" said the father and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Ahem.. Don't worry, according to the calculations of my subordinates, there will be a heavenly flow stone flying into my realm in the near future, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Ahem. Boqiu hurriedly replied.

"Hehe, Boqiu really won my heart, won my heart~!" After a cruel smile on his face, the Zai Father continued: "The plan is according to what Boqiu said, in addition, the ghost fire battalion of the three battalions outside the mansion will be transferred to hunt and kill the fish that have slipped through the net, and then the commander of the bear battalion will be ordered to make the car guard bring 300 thunder and fire bombs to be buried in the place where Xiao Tu opened the altar." Prepare for the worst. Sacrificing for the royal family is also an honor for the citizens of the state. ”

"Yes~!" everyone responded in unison.

"Bo begs to stay with me for a while, Sanwei will go and prepare"

"Yes~!" the three guards flashed out of the secret room to make arrangements, because they knew the father and the style of acting resolutely.

After the three guards left, the father thought for a while before slowly saying, "Boqiu, do you think we should prepare fire spirit arrows to prevent mutations?"

As soon as this remark came out, the equally ruthless Boqiu was shocked, the fire spirit arrow is the killer weapon of the royal family of the Gale Empire, each of which costs a lot of money, not to mention the production process alone, it is extremely difficult and harsh, and this mission Emperor Zai's father Lei Yingqin gave three fire spirit arrows in case of mutation.

But this arrow is huge, once used, the person who is hit by the arrow will inevitably die, and the surrounding three zhang is also set to death, the father and the meaning of these words are already clear, in order to prevent Xiao Tu from having the last resort to escape and cause the news to leak, if necessary, it is necessary to sacrifice the tiger guard.

Although it is for the benefit of the empire, after all, it has been more than 20 years since he intersected with Huwei, and such a renunciation can't help but make Feng Boqiu feel desolate in his heart.

"Boqiu, don't you want to answer? blame me for being too ruthless, right? Alas~! Many things are uncontrollable, and sacrifice is inevitable. Father Zai sighed tiredly and continued: "Although Sanwei and I are superior, but these years are like brothers, and I am also... ”

"My lord.. Ahem. Subordinates understand. Bo Qiu interrupted Zai's words and continued to think: "But my lord, although the power of the fire spirit arrow is huge, its user is also very high, and it must have innate cultivation to use it. The three guards can't be used, and the ink tree needs to command the wolf camp, so it must be the adults themselves who do it. This?!"

"Oh~~! yes. "Father and close your eyes. With a long sigh, he stopped talking, and the area around the chamber fell into a deathly silence. After a long time, Zai's father sighed and said, "You go and prepare~! Let me be quiet." ”

"Yes~!" Bo Qiu replied respectfully and slowly withdrew from the state capital secret room.
