More than 200 miles beyond the boundary river.

Looking at the large civil buildings in the field with a style that is very different from that of the Yue Dynasty, you can vaguely distinguish the houses, markets, small buildings, wine houses, bungalows, and people......

But these people are strange-looking, some have horns, some have scales, and more have a tail dragging behind their buttocks.

They are obviously not humans, in fact they are demon clans, and even this whole strange style city is the demon city they built!

In the distant mountains of this demon city, three humans were talking and laughing in the mountains......

A Taoist robe, who is middle-aged and old, and his pale long beard makes him a little more immortal.

The two of them are dressed as chivalrous guests, and they are slightly younger than Taoists.

"I haven't been here for many years, and the [True Ying Demon Country] in the southwest is built quite well, and it has a bit of the people's livelihood under the rule of my Dayue!"

The Taoist sighed with emotion:

"I still remember the last time I came here, it was a Jiazi ago, when Poor Dao followed the general to conquer the Western [Pingdu Demon Country], and the True Ying Demon King was quite enthusiastic to drink with us."

"I don't want to do this, but it was Poor Dao who launched this crusade against the [True Ying Demon Country], you say, Poor Dao has leveled the three big leaders of the [True Ying Demon Country] and their fiefdoms this time, and the True Ying Demon King will not scold me in person, right?"

Listening to the Taoist's emotion, the two middle-aged chivalrous men said respectfully:

"Fu Jun is too worried, although we are still young, we also know that the demon domain is two-sided and three-swords, and the things before Yijiazi are in the past, but the current trend is that the [True Ying Demon Country] has repeatedly infiltrated and infiltrated into our country."

"The three major leaders of the border violated my border, but the Zhenying Demon King did not control it and allowed his subordinates to violate the border, it is really the demon king's unkindness first, how can it be said that the prince of the palace is unjust?"

Only then did the Taoist laugh, retract his gaze looking at the demon city, and said lightly:

"There are nine leaders in the [True Hero Demon Country], and this time I will destroy three of them as a punishment!"

The Taoist thought about it again and said:

"Today is the second day, with the strength of the counties, someone should arrive here tomorrow morning, the two of you are in charge of the affairs of the county, I don't know how you think we should reward the first person?"

The two knights glanced at each other, and both found each other's helplessness:

According to the official positions of the imperial court, the county guard, the county lieutenant, and the county official are all at the same level, and the three officials are divided into county affairs and hinder each other.

But this old mansion gentleman is too senior, and the reason why he only became a county guard is only because he wants to live a long life and does not want to ignite pure yang.

Otherwise, with his qualifications, he would have been transferred to the capital a long time ago and served as a high-ranking official of the Third Duke or Jiuqing!

And when he became a county guard, his two county lieutenants and county captains who should have been at the same level as him were uncomfortable......

No matter what you do, you have to ask this old mansion gentleman, obviously he is only in charge of the government affairs in the county, but now he is in charge of the military and government.

The two county officials who were supposed to be responsible for containing him were just transferred and ate a few dismounts, and later they were completely reduced to bodyguards who helped him, taking them with them wherever they went......

The key is this kind of local cancer, and the imperial court has no good way, it should have transferred him to the capital and let him fight wits and courage with those Beijing officials.

But now he doesn't want to go up, so he stays in the local area to blow up the fish pond, and it is useless to transfer to any county......

To deal with this kind of old bastard, the only way to deal with this old bastard is to forcibly put him on a "trumped-up" charge, go straight to the end, and go back to his hometown and put him under house arrest!

It's been long enough to blow up the fish pond, and the Holy One should start it within a year or two......

Alas!

The two "bodyguards" sighed at each other, although they had all kinds of grievances in their hearts, but in the face of Lao Fujun's inquiry, they still had to answer, but they said with guns and sticks in their words:

"What local officials want most is promotion, and if the governor wants to give the first county a reward, he only needs to add a sum to his merit book, and if he has any achievements in the future, he will definitely remember the great kindness and virtue brought by the governor!"

Scold!

Seeing these two ridiculing themselves with guns and sticks, the Taoist didn't care:

Don't go! The official just won't leave! The place is so comfortable, why do you have to go to the capital thanklessly?

The Beijing officials are all mad dogs, and it's no wonder if they don't get bitten to death, plus in the years of the reign of the saint, there are a lot of three dukes and nine kings who have been dismissed.

Although the Taoist is not an official fan, he is not a loose person without any desire for power, what he wants is to comfortably retire in the local office......

"In this way, in addition to remembering merits, the poor road is private...... Hey?! ”

As he was talking, the Taoist suddenly screamed, and as soon as the Yuan Shen moved, the scene dozens of miles away turned into a light curtain and stood in front of him.

In the light curtain, two Taoists and a chivalrous man appeared, as well as a long-legged monster snake hanging on the sleeve of one of the Taoists' robes......

"It's ......"

Not only was the county guard slightly shocked, but even the two knights were surprised:

"Which team is this? How can it be so fast! ”

There was still nearly a full day before the earliest estimated arrival time of the three of them, how could there be such a fast team?

"This is from Chong County."

The county keeper recognized them:

"Liu Shou, Jiang Ping, and another is an alternate county order for Chong County that was arranged some time ago, named ...... Zhang Guo? ”

After that, the county guard angrily rebuked the two:

"You are also the chief official of the county, why don't you even know the county officials under your jurisdiction!"

The old fucker is really shameless!

The two looked at each other, and then scolded in unison:

You old man has grabbed the military and political affairs and finished our work, and now you still have the courage to ask us two puppets why they don't know the lower-level county officials......

……

"Climb over the mountains in front, and further on is the meeting place agreed with the county guard!"

The county magistrate lay on the county lieutenant's back again and asked him to take him on the road.

Zhang Ran took Ah Qing with him, running at high speed, running like flying, jumping out of three or five zhang in one step, and his travel speed was not behind the county lieutenant......

It didn't take much time to clean up the last demon stronghold, and under the momentum of Zhang Ran and the county order, it only took less than half an hour to completely wash the wolf demon on the ground.

Then on this humble stronghold, a few people took a break, anyway, absolutely no one moved faster than them, plus they hadn't rested all day, the county lieutenant and Zhang Ran were okay, but the small body of the county commander couldn't withstand it.

So he rested for two hours before moving on......

After a short time, according to the marks on the map, the three of them finally arrived at the ravine agreed with the county keeper.

As soon as he stood still, he suddenly heard a chuckle and greeted three people from the mountains and forests:

"You came the earliest, and this time the first name is you Chongxian!"

The county magistrate was overjoyed when he saw that person, and hurriedly saluted:

"Xia Guan has seen ......"

"Alas! When you go out, you don't use your official identity, don't you say? Liu Daoyou! ”

The county keeper laughed.

The county order changed its words:

"What Daoyou said is extremely true!"

At this time, the county lieutenant also saluted the three county magistrates, but the county guard was not interested in him, but the two county captains and county lieutenants who were about to become bodyguards were very enthusiastic about him......

The two county guards talked and laughed for a while, and then turned their attention to Zhang Ran on the side.

The county guard smiled at him:

"Sure enough, he is a young talent recommended by Poor Dao to the imperial court, and he has already achieved success after a few months of practice, and if he polishes it a little in the future, he will be the pillar of the imperial court!"

"Thank you for your praise, but the gentleman is serious, and the knowledge of the lower officials is shallow, and they still need to be improved."

Zhang Ran was polite, generous, and courteous, which made the county guard's eyes shine:

It seems that this son can be cultivated more, and he may really be a pillar of the country in the future!

After thinking about it, the county guard sighed:

"Just now I was still deliberating with the two of them what to reward for the first to come, and now I know!"

"Jiang Ping, since you are a martial artist, then I will teach you a better volume of qi and blood exercises, and the efficiency of refining qi and blood will be higher in the future, and you will be rewarded with twenty catties of spiritual essence."

The county lieutenant was overjoyed, these two rewards were right in his arms, the cultivation efficiency of low-level exercises was too low, if there were better exercises, it would naturally help him go further in qi and blood.

And twenty catties of spirit spirit is also a huge amount of money, enough for him to take it lavishly for half a year!

"Thank you for your great kindness!"

"Hmm."

The county guard nodded slightly.

Then he looked at the county order:

"Liu Shou, you have governed Chong County for many years, your qualifications are enough, plus you have made contributions to quelling the plague, and the credit has already been accumulated, as long as Zhang Guo's experience is completed, you can hand over the position and be promoted to the county government."

"I don't have anything to reward, so I'll grant you the "County Shou Refining Divine Law" in advance."

The county commander was also overjoyed, and he got the exercises of the county guard in advance, which was more conducive to his cultivation of the Yuan Shen, and the day of breaking through the [Taiyin Realm] was not far off!

"Thank you for your great kindness!"

The county guard smiled, and finally looked at Zhang Ran with a worried face:

"Zhang Guo, you don't have an official position yet, and I don't know what to reward you, so be it!"

"You came from the countryside and have never received full-time teaching from the imperial court, so in order to avoid being overwhelmed by the officials in the future, I will open a convenient door for you, and I specially recommend you to go to the capital to study Taixue for a year and receive orthodox teaching, how about it?"
