Zhao Xiao heard Luo Xixian's question, and was speechless for a moment. He knew that the situation in Xingluo County was not easy, but he didn't expect that after the banditry, the people's livelihood would be far more difficult than he wanted.

"How much scolding have I received to settle these homeless people?" Luo Xixian did not hide his anger: "There are villains in the court who wrote to impeach, saying that I 'invited exile, invited the people, and harbored rebellion'!" Today, I still have to be harshly criticized by you, saying that you don't plough cattle enough. If I had known this, I should have taken the servants to drive out all these homeless people, so as not to provoke a lot of infamy! ”

Zhao Xiao was silent for a long time when he heard this, and it was not until Luo Xixian vented his anger that he spoke: "It's me who is not careful, and it's not easy for you." ”

Luo Xixian snorted coldly: "I don't need to be comforted!" ”

"I'm not comforting." Zhao Xiao looked at the peasants in the fields and cultivated: "Others say that I am in a high position, cutting the strong and strong, killing the gentlemen, and the ghosts and gods retreat everywhere I pass, and it seems that the scenery is the same." But I realized today that I was still blind and ignorant.

I can kill people and wipe out all the demons and evils, but I don't necessarily know how to manage the national economy and people's livelihood. I have never experienced the many difficulties of implementation, and if it were me, I am afraid that I would have already made a miasma. ”

Luo Xixian wanted to reprimand, but he didn't expect Zhao Xiao to take the initiative to soften, making it difficult for him to continue to have seizures.

"It's weird." Zhao Xiao was full of emotion: "Back then, you and I were obviously good at killing, and I was proficient in clerical work." Why is it that today it is reversed, that I have become a man of recklessness and violence, and you have concentrated on governing one side and settling the people. ”

When Luo Xixian heard this, his originally furrowed brows also relaxed, and he found that Zhao Xiao was not as high-spirited as he thought.

"You are now the Marquis of Zhenming, open the altar to patrol the realm and level the heroes, where can I compare?" Luo Xixian said a word.

"When things fall on you, there's nothing to brag about." Zhao Xiao looked up to the sky and sighed, his heart was very depressed, now he seems to be hot, but he is also in danger, and the current situation does not allow him to retreat bravely.

These words made Luo Xixian also feel a little empathetic, he used to think that he could be in charge of the party, and he would definitely soar in the future. But when I really arrived in Xingluo County, where I had fought hard, I realized how boring and difficult it was to deal with local people's livelihood and government affairs.

Luo Xixian cultivates swordsmanship, pays attention to breaking the formation and killing the enemy, and moves forward, and he must go head-on when the enemy encounters difficulties.

However, the ruling side did not rely on swordsmanship to win, not even talk about victory or defeat, only endless toil, various interests entangled, Luo Xixian's swordsmanship and courage were useless, which made him feel extremely anxious for a while.

Originally, Luo Xixian planned to resign, even if he was to be a scout colonel at the border, it would be better than burying his life in a pile of papers.

But his father did not allow Luo Xixian to resign, and when he heard that Zhao Huang was awarded the title of Marquis of Zhenming, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart, so he secretly vowed that he must make outstanding achievements in office and suppress Zhao Xiao, a "lucky villain".

However, Zhao Huang is in the limelight and has attracted the attention of the government and the opposition, Luo Xixian, as a border county guard, is dedicated to doing things, making Xingluo County prosperous and reviving people's livelihood, but he is unknown, which makes him even more angry.

Luo Xixian didn't understand, he had done his best, and with Xin Shunying's assistance, he was confident that if someone else came, he might not be able to do better, but he was still not taken seriously.

"Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements." Zhao Xiao suddenly said: "Sometimes I can't help but wonder, is it easier to kill people or live people? Now that I think about it, it's still easy to kill people, especially for me, there are countless ways to kill people, but I don't really have much ability to let people live and work in peace and contentment and ensure their livelihood for a long time.

The people put their afflictions on their lips and said,

It's easy to criticize others for their addiction. However, if you want to help the poor, you need to be extremely meticulous and tedious, and you can't tolerate the slightest self-righteousness and wishful thinking. Moreover, this kind of thing, which fails to take effect in a hurry, will inevitably be criticized. ”

Luo Xixian was thoughtful, and Zhao Xiao asked an irrelevant matter: "How long has it been since you drew your sword?" ”

Luo Xixian was slightly stunned, raised his hand and touched the saber on his waist, and said a little blankly: "I, I don't remember." ”

Zhao Huang said: "Swordsmanship is the first thing to hide the edge, and the benefits of life and death should be accepted with an open heart." There is a time in the world, there is no thickness of the edge, and there is no thickness in order to be at ease. ”

"Easy, easy......" Luo Xixian muttered to himself, his mind in a trance.

"My lord, Lord Gunjo!" The subordinate officers called out again and again, so that Luo Xixian came back to his senses, he looked around, it was almost dusk, and Zhao Xiao and the others had long since disappeared.

"Where's Zhao Xiao?" Luo Xixian hurriedly asked.

The officer replied: "Marquis Zhenming has already left, and before he left, he said that Lord Commander is at the juncture of cultivating and enlightening, so we are not allowed to disturb him. ”

Luo Xixian's expression was complicated, he raised his hand and pulled out his sword, and the sword qi was hidden, which was completely different from the past when he came out of the sheath.

"Are we going to recover Marquis Zhenming?" The officer asked.

Luo Xixian took a deep breath, put his sword into the sheath, and immediately made a decision: "No need, he has his way to go, and I have my own business to do." ”

……

"Don't you see, you also know swordsmanship?"

In the carriage, Jiang Ru asked curiously. When she saw Zhao Xiao, she let Luo Xixian escape into silence with a few words, this kind of ability to enlighten others with one word, only two people in Jiang Ru's impression can do it, one is Liang Tao, and the other is Zhao Xiao.

Liang Tao is in the world immortal family, with a high realm, condescending from a high position, and breaking the cultivation skills of others with one word, which is not unusual. But Zhao Xiao is different, he doesn't know how to play the piano, but he can guide Lu Wangji, he doesn't know swordsmanship, and he can also ignite Luo Xixian.

"I do know a little bit of swordsmanship, and I learned it through induction when I was cultivating the Nine Heavens Purple Wen Dan Chapter." Zhao Xiao said.

"That's not what I'm asking." Jiang Ru said: "I don't understand, Luo Xixian's cultivation is not much worse than yours, why can you instruct him at will?" And if you really want to talk about swordsmanship, you are obviously inferior to him. ”

"If I said that I had a spiritual thought, would you believe it?" Zhao Xiao crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"Say whatever you want." Jiang Ru smiled and shook his head: "I originally thought that you were going to have no contact with Luo Xixian, why did you take the initiative to guide him?" ”

"I see it." Zhao Xiao replied: "There is no need to be obsessed with past grievances, not to mention that I don't have any deep hatred with Luo Xixian." And even if he is a stranger, it is commendable to be able to govern Starfall County in an orderly manner. ”

Jiang Ru reminded: "I'm just worried that he won't appreciate it, but I will see your kindness as teasing." ”

"I pointed out to Luo Xixian, and I didn't expect the other party to return the favor." Zhao Xiao said: "Actually, you are right, it may be better if you don't get along with each other." The immortal family is independent and forgets each other in the rivers and lakes, why force comrades with one heart? ”

Zhao Xiao sighed lightly, but saw Jiang Ru looking at him with a strange expression, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I think you're a man of mixed hearts." Jiang Ru said: "You must have the idea of helping the world and helping people and things in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't be so attentive." But you are talking about the words that the fairy family is free and forgets the rivers and lakes, don't you feel contradictory? ”

Zhao Xiao was speechless for a while, and Ling Xiao said secretly: "You are confused at the moment, just like Liang Tao's mirror." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiao suddenly laughed, and Jiang Ru asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Shouldn't you laugh if someone breaks the key to cultivation?" Zhao Xiao laughed loudly.

Jiang Ru rolled her eyes: "You have time to point out others, it's better to take care of those voles first, and don't let them chase me all day long." ”

"That's a marmot, not a vole!" Zhao Huang laughed heartily, and after bidding farewell to Hengbi Gong, Zhao Huang took the group of otter demons with him, and instructed them to cultivate whenever he had time, but he would not let them show their traces in front of mortals.

"Of course I know!" Jiang Ru pretended to have a hideous face: "I don't know where they got the guts, if I change back to my original body, I will eat them!" ”

……

Liang Tao raised his hand to dial it, and the Nine Heavens Cloud Platform unfolded heavy cirrus clouds, covering the square circle, and the clear air flow of the boundless cave sky descended.

And in the cirrus cloud array, the burly and majestic Liang Leopard, who was far superior to ordinary people, stood still, wearing a heavy armor, like an iron tower, revealing only a pair of eyes.

Liang Tao pointed to the virtual book for a few strokes, and saw that the cloud qi seeped into the cracks of the nail piece, and wandered for a while, as if untying the heavy locks, and the armor and stomach on Liang Leopard's body were removed one by one. Every part of the stomach is extremely heavy, and it is impossible for an ordinary human body to carry it.

The general disarmed, revealing not a strong physique, but a large festering wound, blood and abscess, and the faint movement of the flesh buds, which was shocking. The shape under Liang Leopard's stomach can no longer be described as scarred, even if it is lying on the ground, no one will doubt that it is a rotting corpse.

I saw Liang Tao take out a vermilion elixir, turn it into mist, and slowly introduce it into Liang Leopard's wounds.

The medicinal power entered the body, passing through the hundreds of veins, Liang Leopard's body trembled involuntarily, and streams of foul-smelling pus and blood flowed out of his body, and there were small worms crawling out. Liang Tao raised his hand to take a false shot, took it away, and then transported the real fire to burn it completely.

When the pus and blood are exhausted, Liang Tao's calligraphy is imprinted, and the cloud seal is burned into the muscles and bones, making the broken and festering body release a trace of brilliance, washing the inside and outside.

"Okay, so you can suppress the poison curse for the time being." Liang Tao said a word, lightly hooked his fingers, and the nail stomach was put back on Liang Leopard's body, as if it was cast into one.

Liang Leopard moved his torso and limbs, and said angrily: "Thank you, big brother!" ”

"Why do you and I have to say thank you?" Liang Tao waved his hand, and the cirrus clouds dispersed, revealing a simple quiet room.

Liang Bao said: "I was hit by the blood corpse insect curse back then, and I should have festered my flesh and blood, and a hundred insects broke my body and died, but it was the eldest brother who forcibly saved my life with the magic power of the immortal family. It's a pity that I delayed my eldest brother and became an immortal. ”

Liang Tao sneered: "Are you looking down on me with this, or are you taking yourself too seriously?" Even if you are like this, you can't talk about delaying my ascension to immortality. ”

"Let the big brother laugh." Liang Bao also laughed, but it was a pity that he covered his face with a slap.

"Blood Corpse Worm Flow Curse, Hmph!" Liang Tao's face showed a chill: "These curse forbidden beings originally planned to use this method to deal with me, trying to damage my immortal body. The intentions can be described as full of viciousness, and he is also a worshipper of the Tianxia Dynasty, why is it completely different from the successor of the Zanli official? ”

Liang Bao asked, "Big brother, is your trust in Zhao Xiao too much?" ”

"Is it over?" Liang Tao asked rhetorically.

"You're just like that to Shaoxi." Liang Bao said: "I have to wonder if Zhao Xiao is your eldest brother's son." ”

Liang Tao smiled and shook his head: "Why do you all think about it one by one?" Aren't I allowed to have a personal disciple? ”

"Big brother, do you really plan to treat him as an heir?" Liang Bao asked, "I know that there are some things that you shouldn't talk about, but to be your successor, you don't just have to look at cultivation as mana. ”

"Do you want to say that the soldiers who refused to flood pass are not going to be loyal to him?" Liang Tao said bluntly.

"No matter how much Zhao Huang is touted outside, I can't be convinced, and I can't be convinced." Liang Bao said: "He may have some achievements in scientific rituals, but that doesn't mean that Zhao Huang can be above us and point fingers at us." ”

"He's not going to be domineering." Liang Tao said.

"Really?" Liang Bao said: "I don't think Wang Zhongding's fate is very good. ”

"Did the people of the Wang family look for you?" Liang Taoying raised his eyebrows slightly.

Liang Bao simply admitted: "Yes, they said that Zhao Huang is dealing with the Chiyang Wang clan now, that is, he wants to extinguish the wings of the Chongxuan Pavilion one by one, and finally deal with our Yongjia Liang clan." But I ignored them. ”

"The Wang family is short-sighted and self-defeating, firstly, they feel that they don't need to rely on me, and they always have the intention of opening another door, and secondly, they can't see the general trend of the country clearly, and they have lived up to the shadow of their predecessors to the point where they are today." Liang Tao shook his head: "After Wang Zongran, the Chiyang Wang clan will be incompetent. ”

"Not really." Liang Bao said: "In fact, Wang Jiuzhang, who is the same generation as Shaoxi, can also be regarded as a talent. ”

"Wang Jiuzhang? A little impressed. Liang Tao thought for a while: "He seems to have died in the Mirage Valley too?" ”

"Not bad." Liang Bao nodded.

Liang Tao asked: "Back then, in the Mirage Valley, why did you send Zhao Ziliang to lure the enemy?" ”

"It was he who took the initiative to ask for help." Liang Bao said bluntly: "The battle situation was anxious back then, and everyone was exhausted, and they just wanted to stick to the city, and they were unwilling to fight with Youxiong Country. I promised to give Zhao Ziliang a fine horseman, and the other monks were invited by him, and I didn't have time to take care of them. ”

Liang Tao groaned: "In other words, Zhao Ziliang is willing to take risks?" ”

"Yes, no one forced him." Liang Bao asked: "Zhao Ziliang is Zhao Xiao's father, isn't the eldest brother worried that he has a grudge?" ”

"So I'm waiting, waiting for him to tell me." Liang Tao said: "This is my last hand to test him, if he can find out, he will be my real heir." ”

"Wouldn't that be too risky?" Liang Bao couldn't help but be worried: "After all, he has never experienced the events of the past, if he can even let go of this kind of grudge, how big is his ambition?" ”

"I can use the Great Ming Treasure Mirror to recreate the past of Zhao Huang before and after the Mirage Valley back then." Liang Tao sighed: "As for the truth of his thoughts, he can't hide it from me." ”

"If he is hypocritical, what are you going to do, big brother?" Liang Bao asked.

Liang Tao's eyes flashed: "Then on the day I ascend to the altar and ascend, it will be the period when he Zhao Huang dies!" ”
