When Zhao Huang returned to Yanze City with the army, he could see a huge gap in the north wall from a distance, and most of the city towers next to it had collapsed, and the officials and people were hurriedly repairing it.

"The thieves really came to attack Shiozawa Castle?" Zhao Huang saw Wang Juncheng directing the repair of the fortifications outside the city, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Zhao Fu? Why do you ......" Wang Juncheng saw Zhao Xiao walking out of the army returning to the city, and instantly understood: "I just said why did you suddenly want to retreat, it turned out that you followed the army to save Luo Gongzi?" ”

Zhao Xiao dismounted and arched his hand: "There is no way, the military intelligence is secret." ”

"Clearly, clearly, Zhao Fu doesn't have to say more to me."

"What's going on?" Zhao Xiao pointed to the gap in the city wall: "Could it be that the thieves moved the flying stone machine to attack the city?" ”

Wang Juncheng smiled bitterly and said: "That's not true, the number of thieves attacking the city the day before yesterday was not large, but there were several demons among them, who easily climbed over the city wall with the help of magic, rushed into the city, and went straight to the mansion where the Chongxuan Pavilion was settled." The monks on both sides fought each other, and the chickens and dogs jumped. Later, it was Liang Gongzi who personally took action, summoned the immortal generals to come, and forced those demons back with a sword. ”

"Oh, I see." Zhao Xiao looked at the gap in the city wall, and the widest part of the top was about a zhang more: "Could it be that this is not the work of the thieves and demons, but the immortal general of Liang Gongzi......"

Wang Juncheng's expression was extremely helpless, and he nodded: "Yes, the immortal general only swung a sword, and even half of the houses in the street were swept away, and the residual power was undiminished, tearing the city wall through such a hole." Fortunately, those demons were frightened away by the immortal generals, and the thieves outside the city also fled without a trace. ”

Zhao Xiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he had indeed heard that Liang Shuo of the Chongxuan Pavilion had been supported by the immortal generals since he was born because of the immortal blood. Originally, I thought that no matter how powerful this immortal would be, at most it would be to isolate the invasion of spirits and demons, but I didn't expect that it would be like a mighty power, cutting down the city walls and razing the houses at every turn.

"Is this the true strength of the generals?" Zhao Xiao secretly asked Lingxiao.

"Not always that." Ling Xiao explained: "The officials and generals under the command of the immortals are not set up at random, but according to the laws of the immortal family's Daoji, the town palace and the number of aiki, each has its own belonging. It is similar to the official of a human state, or to govern one side, or to unify the army. Just like this Wang Juncheng, will he be more clever than General Wei when he kills with soldiers? ”

"Of course not, it's just that they have their own appointments according to their abilities." Zhao Xiao roughly understood: "It seems that Liang Gongzi, the protector immortal, is proficient in killing, but he is not very particular about doing things, and he has torn down his own city wall." ”

Zhao Huang vaguely saw the dilapidated rubble behind the gap, and asked Wang Juncheng: "So many houses have been destroyed by the immortal generals, what about the people who live in them?" ”

Wang Juncheng shook his head and sighed: "More than a hundred and ten people have died, and now we can only temporarily build some shacks, which is slightly better than nothing." ”

"Liang Gongzi didn't say anything?" Zhao Xiao asked.

"Nope." Wang Juncheng frowned: "I just hope that he will be more cautious next time, if he fights in the city, it will only cause innocent people to suffer." ”

……

"You're back!"

Shi Huoguang saw Zhao Xiao and the others returning, and the big stone in his heart finally let go, and hurriedly opened the door to welcome in. Many of the monks, including Luo Xixian, were injured and needed to be arranged for ashram recuperation.

But before Zhao Xiao and the others could take a break, a guest came to the door.

"I am Liang Zhongwei, the Sanqing of the Chongxuan Pavilion, and on the orders of the eldest prince of my family, I restrict you from leaving the Iron Gong Temple before sunset today."

The visitor sat on the chariot, with a high toe, carrying a gilded invitation in his hand: "Also, who among you is Zhao Xiao?" My eldest son, please come over. ”

"I am." Zhao Xiao went out to greet him, but he didn't accept the invitation, and asked: "I don't understand, this place is the residence arranged by the county government for our Huaiying Pavilion, why did Chongxuan Pavilion let us leave?" ”

Liang Zhongwei looked contemptuous: "Let you go as soon as you go, where is there so much nonsense?" ”

Before Zhao Xiao could answer, Luo Xixian heard the movement and immediately rushed out: "Don't be too domineering in your Chongxuan Pavilion!" ”

Liang Zhongwei sneered a few times: "Luo Xixian, look at your embarrassment, you self-righteously led a group of soldiers and horses out of the city, but as a result, more than half of them were lost, and they almost planted themselves." If General Wei hadn't sent another man to save you, you would have become a ghost under the knife of the thief. ”

Luo Xixian had just finished taking the medicine, and his arm was still tied with a wound cloth, and the fact that he was besieged by thieves made him secretly remorseful in his heart, and now he was ridiculed by Liang Zhongwei, and the anger in his chest rose immediately.

"Where's my sword? Bring me my sword! Luo Xixian raised his hand and pulled it out, only to realize that he had forgotten to bring out the saber, and he was so angry that he yelled at the stone fire behind him, and the other party had to hurriedly go back to get the sword.

Liang Zhongwei, who was sitting upright, tilted his face, looking casual: "Luo Xixian, I advise you to be steady, if you follow that bit of Qiu Ba's temperament and work against our Chongxuan Pavilion, be careful that the bandits in Xingluo County have not been eliminated, and your father will send a letter to you to go back." ”

Luo Xixian took the sword from Shi Huoguang's hand, drew his sword angrily, and Zhao Xiao raised his hand to stop him: "Don't be fooled!" He deliberately provoked you to do it, and if you hurt him, it's trouble! ”

"I don't believe it yet!" Luo Xixian pushed Zhao Huang away, raised his sword and pointed at Liang Zhongwei: "You fox and fake tiger guy, do you really think I can't do it?" I'll cut off your head and give it to that Liang Shuo, who is neither male nor female! ”

Zhao Xiao only felt that the sword qi in front of him was surging, his eyes were stinging and difficult to open, and before he could stop it, Luo Xixian's body jumped, and the sword qi split out of the air.

Even if the swordsman and the others were injured, their physique and bones were far beyond those of mortals, and on the way back, Luo Xixian also recovered slightly. It's just that since the three cows were trapped in the pit, the depression in his heart was hard to dissipate, and at this moment, the Chongxuan Pavilion came to provoke, so that Luo Xixian could no longer bear it, and the violence in his chest poured out with the sword qi, turning into the strongest form in "Canglang Washing Chapter"-

Break the stop!

Zhao Xiao only heard a piercing sword sound, followed by the sound of wood and stone shattering and falling to the ground.

When he opened his eyes again, on the ground outside the courtyard gate, there was a sword mark of several zhang, splitting Liang Zhongwei's body into left and right halves, and the chariot under him was torn to pieces, and the four attendants who carried the chariot were also affected by the sword qi and were killed on the spot.

The large pool of blood sprinkled all over the ground with the sword qi, like a bright crimson splashed ink painting.

The scene suddenly fell into dead silence, leaving only Luo Xixian's heavy breathing.

"Oops......"

Zhao Xiao was the first to react, and the whole person sat on the threshold like a force, and he couldn't care about any taboos at the moment.

"Luo Dajian Immortal, are you crazy?" Zhao Xiao's face was huddled.

"Don't call me that!" Luo Xixian turned his head sharply and shouted.

Zhao Xiao was stunned by this sentence, and the look on his face was stunned at first, and then he turned to anger and said, "I'm asking you why you're crazy?!" If you don't like the people of Chongxuan Pavilion anymore, you won't kill him with a sword, right?! ”

"He was the one who provoked first!" Luo Xixian pointed to a place of bloody corpses: "Everyone has been bullied, what nonsense?" ”

"It's not-" Zhao Xiao only felt anxious, and spun in place: "This is not your life-and-death battlefield fight, what's the use of you killing him?!" ”

"That's him, Liang Zhongwei didn't beat!" Luo Xixian retorted: "Since he dares to come to the door to provoke, he must be ready to bear his anger." He can't even catch my sword, what nonsense is he? ”

After hearing this, Zhao Xiao's mouth almost couldn't close: "What kind of crooked reasoning is this?" He is not worthy of virtue, even if you want to teach a lesson, it is completely enough to break your legs and feet, why do you want to kill people? ”

Luo Xixian suddenly became serious: "Zhao Xiao, who is in charge of the Huaiying Pavilion here?" ”

Zhao Xiao was silent for a moment, and his face was a little more bitter: "It's you." ”

"If that's the case, don't contradict my decision!" Luo Xixian's eyes widened angrily: "I killed Liang Zhongwei, it's not your turn to accuse him, Chongxuanguan is going to come to find trouble, do you really think I'm afraid of them?" ”

Zhao Xiao had a thousand words in his belly, but he couldn't get out of his throat at the moment, and he left the Tiegong Temple in despair.

……

In the county government office, Wang Juncheng and General Wei both had gloomy faces.

"Now both adults know." Zhao Xiao sat aside, rubbing his brows and worried: "I really can't do anything about this matter, I don't know what Chongxuan Pavilion will think." ”

General Wei looked at Wang Juncheng and said to the other party: "Chongxuan Pavilion has already collected the corpse, but he didn't say much. It's just that I don't quite understand, doesn't that Liang Zhongwei have any self-protection power at all? ”

"Lord Wang doesn't know." General Wei explained: "Nowadays, the conferral of Dharma titles on monks in the pavilion is not entirely based on the cultivation of magic or the accumulation of meritorious deeds, and sometimes as long as there is a generous letter in the Dharma, some pavilions can even confer the Dharma title book to ordinary people who have no cultivation at all. Thinking about it, Liang Zhongwei didn't have much ability, and in the face of Luo Gongzi's anger and drawing his sword, he naturally couldn't resist it. ”

Wang Juncheng's expression was strange: "If you have a rich law letter, you can get the magic urn?" Isn't this the same as selling an official position? ”

General Wei's gaze dodged: "Lord Wang has been in Xingluo County for a long time, and I don't know that this matter has become a fashion in Dongshengdu. If you want to make friends with those catechumens, you have to do this, and even General Ben has awarded it. ”

"Oh?" Wang Juncheng asked, "What kind of throne does General Nawei have to confer?" ”

"Xuandu Zhenshi Nine Heavens Slashes the Evil Envoy." When General Wei said this, he couldn't help but be ashamed: "It's the newly established Dharma position in Chongxuan Pavilion, I don't understand it, and I worship Fa Xin when I look at the big name." ”

Zhao Xiao continued: "After the end of the War of the Five Kingdoms, Chongxuanguan felt that the system of the Guan's legal position was a little crude, so in addition to the Fu Officials Sanqing, a new set of nine-rank immortal ranks was compiled, and it was necessary to divide the level according to the criteria of immortal blood and origin. ”

"Huh? Can it still be like this? Wang Juncheng asked, "Can cultivation still be about origin?" ”

Zhao Xiao spread his hands: "The four major families of the Chongxuan Pavilion are really immortal ancestors, and the two adults have also seen the ability of Liang Gongzi." However, not everyone admits this set of Chongxuanguan. ”

In fact, the most fierce opposition to the Nine Rank Immortal Rank is the Huaiying Pavilion. The first Zhang Duanjing went to Dongshengdu many times to meet the lord of the country and stated his interests, which made the new system set up by Chongxuanguan unable to be implemented throughout the country, and was limited to the catechumens of the powerful ministers inside and outside Dongshengdu.

Zhao Xiao was really not interested in the intrigues of these big people, if the Dharma position could be granted to mortals who had no practice because of their rich Dharma faith, then their own divine dignity would be impossible to talk about, and it would have become a means of making money.

"Let's not talk about that." General Wei said: "Luo Gongzi killed the children of the Liang family in Chongxuanguan, and I can't hide it if I want to." It is still necessary to discuss and come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible. ”

Wang Juncheng didn't want to make big trouble on his own turf: "Luo Gongzi's father is the great Sima of the dynasty, so you might as well ...... Let him go home and take a break from the limelight? ”

"That's what I thought too." General Wei said, "But...... The one who recommended me to the king to come to Xingluo County to suppress bandits is Da Sima. ”

Wang Juncheng secretly scolded in his heart, in the final analysis, Da Sima is using Xingluo County to suppress bandits, paving the way for his heir's future career. It's just that in Wang Juncheng's opinion, this Luo Gongzi is not only eager for quick success, but also has a violent temper and is impulsive and short-sighted, and is far less able to do things and get along with Zhao Fu.

And Zhao Xiao listened to what General Wei said, and probably understood Luo Xixian's recent changes in mood and mood. As a concubine, he had a low status in the family, thinking that he could make a career by himself when he came to Xingluo County, and escaped from the shadow of his father and family, but he was still in it.

"I'll go talk to Mr. Luo." General Wei slapped his thigh: "Since he was born in a general's family, he should know that the military orders prohibit and put an end to private fights." Let Luo Gongzi temporarily return to my account for use, and it can also avoid some unnecessary troubles. As for the Chongxuan Pavilion......"

Wang Juncheng replied helplessly: "The official will do his best, as for whether Liang Gongzi is willing to see me, it is not easy to say." ”

Zhao Huang said: "Originally, Chongxuan Pavilion sent Liang Zhongwei to invite me, but I don't know why. ”

Wang Juncheng immediately reacted: "Isn't this a blatant separation between you and Luo Gongzi?" Chongxuanguan's move is too vicious! ”

"I've figured it out now, too." Zhao Xiao sighed: "It's a big deal, go back to the Huaiying Pavilion, continue to study the technique, and suppress the bandits, I don't have a lot, and I don't have a lot." ”

"No! You can't go! Wang Juncheng and General Wei stood up together.

Wang Juncheng said: "In the prison next door to the county government, there are still two thieves and demons, and the prison ban is now only Zhao Fu, you are willing to take care of it." There are also many wealthy gentry who learned that Zhao Fu had a town house spirit talisman and couldn't find you, so they asked me to ask you for it. ”

General Wei said angrily: "I, thousands of soldiers, are still looking forward to the charm to protect themselves, and now the whole battalion knows that the golden armor rune is effective, if you leave, where are those soldiers willing to fight for their lives?" ”

"It's not that exaggerated." Zhao Xiao muttered: "It's a big deal that I teach the corresponding spells and spells to others, and these things are not only I can do, and it is not difficult to do them." ”

Wang Juncheng stomped his feet and said, "Zhao Fu, Brother Zhao!" Don't you understand? The other monks are used to sitting back and relaxing, where are they willing to do things as solidly as you? If you don't take the lead, the people of Huaiying Pavilion may not be able to take over! ”

General Wei also said: "You have been friends with Luo Gongzi for a longer time than us, and it should be seen that he is only good at fighting and killing, but suppressing bandits is not just fighting and killing. ”

"But ......" Zhao Xiao couldn't help but suspect that it was because he was too "honest" and stole the limelight that he became increasingly estranged from Luo Xixian.

Wang Juncheng interrupted: "I have a way, didn't the imperial court send a monk to stay in the county government before?" Right now, I just have this shortage here, Zhao Fu, you come to the top shift, suppress the bandits, make a slight change, don't worry too much! ”
