Chapter 21 Promotion and Fortune
The loss of Fengqi City this time is much smaller than the last time, the Red Blood Sect only wanted to attack the city, and did not deliberately slaughter the people, but after two disasters, many people lost confidence in the imperial court and moved their families away from Fengqi City, and now this Fengqi City is even more depressed.
"Thank you for your help, my Fengqi City has escaped the catastrophe for the time being!" Jiang Yulin hugged his fist at everyone, "However, we still can't slack off, this time it was the Red Blood Sect Qingshan Altar that attacked my Fengqi City...... It's just one of the parts of the Stygian Moon Hall, and only by destroying the Stygian Moon Hall can Fengqi City restore peace. ”
Through the captured sect members, it was learned that this Red Blood Sect has four halls, twelve halls, and seventy-two altars, and there is a hall of the Red Blood Sect around Fengqi City.
When everyone heard this, their faces were embarrassed, it was just a small altar master, and they turned Fengqi City upside down, if other sect members of the Stygian Moon Hall attacked...... The consequences are unimaginable!
"You don't have to worry, this Qingshan Altar relied on the power of the demon god to break through Fengqi City, and its own strength is limited...... It can be seen that this Stygian Moon Hall may not be so strong. Jiang Yulin saw that everyone was depressed, and immediately explained to everyone.
"Master Hou, against the Stygian Moon Hall, we have more than enough heart but not enough strength, only by asking that masked master to make a move, can we have some chance of winning." Xiahou Wei, the general defending the city, stood up and clenched his fists to report.
"I've thought about recruiting this guy too...... However, this master obviously doesn't want to show his true face, it is estimated that it is difficult! Jiang Yulin looked distressed, Fengqi City is narrow, such an amazing genius will definitely not succumb to this.
Xiahou Wei suddenly remembered something, turned to Liu Yueling, and asked, "Liu Yueling, you have been with this master, I don't know how much you know about him?" ”
"This ......"
Liu Yueling wanted to speak and stopped, she really didn't know how to describe Tang Xuan......
Let's tell the truth, I guess no one believes it, let's lie, and no, my face is red, and I can't say why.
When Jiang Yulin saw this situation, he thought that there was something hidden in it, and waved his hand to retreat everyone, leaving only Liu Yueling alone.
"Now you can say it, how much do you know about him?"
Liu Yueling said timidly: "This person's name is Tang Xuan, and he was just a Jiupin mage in Yanggu County before, and he was greedy for money and lustful......
Liu Yueling was halfway through speaking, Jiang Yulin's face sank, and he glared at Liu Yueling, Liu Yueling quickly lowered her head, her voice became quieter, and her tone changed: "This person has a sense of justice, and he also saved my life, and he was still eating and drinking at my house before." ”
"If it's really greedy for money and lustful, then it's easier to do, but this person is so powerful, but he is low-key and cautious, so I'm afraid that being greedy for money and lustful is just disguising his appearance...... Since he has been a mage, he is also a member of the imperial court, since you have seen his appearance, go find him, and be sure to invite him to the Hou Mansion. Jiang Yulin gave an order directly to Liu Yueling.
"I ...... I don't want to invite him! Can I go to someone else, I can draw a portrait of him. "Liu Yueling didn't want to beg Tang Xuan.
Tang Xuan is indeed extremely powerful, and he is indeed very good to her, but that mouth is too owed, and this Tang Xuan is extremely lustful, I don't know what conditions he will give himself.
"The lives of tens of thousands of people in my Fengqi City are all tied to your hands, and you can decide for yourself...... If you act willfully, not only me, but even your master Xiahou Wei may die in the next crisis. Jiang Yulin stepped out of his seat and came to the window, looking at the ruins outside, with a sad face.
"But what if he doesn't come?"
"Didn't you say he was greedy for money and lustful? You are a woman, if you were to make a sacrifice for Fengqi City, would you be willing? Jiang Yulin turned around and came to Liu Yueling and asked solemnly.
Liu Yueling looked shocked, she couldn't imagine that things had come to such a point, and she thought about it for ten breaths.
"Understood." Liu Yueling bit her lip and nodded solemnly.
……
The night tour temple was in shambles, the gods had disappeared, perhaps after escaping the temple, they encountered the members of the Red Blood Sect and were beaten to death outside the temple.
Half of the hall collapsed, and it was freezing like today, and it could barely shelter from the wind and rain.
Fortunately, Tang Xuan was an immortal cultivator, otherwise he might have frozen to death in this ruined temple.
Tang Xuan's cultivation method was a little special, those heavenly and earthly treasures were too low-level, and the effect of taking them was not good, he could only absorb the turbid qi of heaven and earth and condense the power of chaos in order to improve his cultivation.
After a fierce battle during the day, his comprehension of the fire-based exercises has improved, and the lotus petals that symbolize the fire-based exercises in the sea of consciousness have half of their brightness, but the later they go, the more difficult it is to comprehend.
At this moment, Tang Xuan withdrew from cultivation and opened his eyes, he had already sensed that someone was coming.
Liu Yueling searched in the city for a long time, and finally found this place, and she stepped into the ruined temple.
"Tang Gongzi, I have something to do with you." Liu Yueling was unusual, and took the initiative to speak.
Tang Xuan didn't speak, and there was no expression on his face, he stretched out his hand to the side and motioned for Liu Yueling to sit down.
If there is something Tang Gongzi, call him by his name if he has nothing to do, this Liu Yueling is a little annoying, but this little girl looks so eye-catching, but she can't bear to be harsh.
After a moment of silence, Tang Xuan spoke: "Say, what's the matter!" ”
Liu Yueling bit her lip lightly and whispered: "The conditions here are simple, it is better to go back to my house to live for a few days, I didn't know your identity a few days ago, and I was offended." ”
"It's not good, it's not good, the master and servant of your house are both girls who haven't left the pavilion, and if you stay in the next place, you will always be gossiped about." Tang Xuan shook his head lightly and refused, looking like a decent man and a gentleman.
"Children of the rivers and lakes, there is not so much attention." Liu Yueling was disdainful in her heart.
You also know, then you still lived before, and you often flirted with your little maid on weekdays, Liu Yueling suppressed the anger in her heart and patiently comforted her.
Surely this Tang Xuan's heart is so small, obviously he still remembers the unhappiness of being swept out of the house a few days ago, and it is too tiring to come into contact with such a greedy and narrow-minded person.
Tang Xuan bent his fingers, and the fire in front of him burned, "Even if you are a child of the rivers and lakes, you should be a family from all over the world...... I have lived in this temple for a long time, I have long been familiar with it, and I have some friendship with the Lord of the Night Wandering God, although he is gone, I can also remember my old friend here. ”
Liu Yueling seemed to understand something, glanced at Tang Xuan, exhaled lightly, and said truthfully: "Your Excellency Guangxuan Hou wants to recruit you, can you go to the Hou Mansion with me." ”
"I don't want to enter the official mansion, Lord Hou is kind, and I understand it." Tang Xuan was worried that after gaining fame, he would reveal his position and be hunted down by the Great Demon of Bliss Town.
When Liu Yueling heard this, she finally had an expression on her face, and said eagerly: "The stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility, if you don't want to, the people of the whole city will be in danger...... Moreover, you are now exhausted, it is better to make a living under the tent of Guangxuanhou. ”
"You have some truth, but ...... I have a condition, which is a little difficult to say, if the girl agrees, I will go with you next. Tang Xuan's eyes showed some obscenity, and he looked at Liu Yueling eagerly.
Could it be......
Liu Yueling suddenly felt her heart beat faster, Tang Xuan, a womanizer, often peeks at himself on weekdays, and today with this good opportunity, he finally wants to think about himself, but he can't refuse yet, how can this be good......
Tang Xuan has a small problem, he is not a big traitor after all, he can still cook a good dish, for the sake of the people of the city, he simply ......
Liu Yueling bit her lip, finally made up her mind, and whispered: "You can tell me, as long as I can do it!" ”
"Give me back seven hundred taels of silver." Tang Xuan's face was shy, and he stretched out his paws.
This silver was lost in order to save Liu Yueling, so it is reasonable that she should pay for it, this seven hundred taels is all Tang Xuan's savings, and he can buy twenty yellow flower girls.
"Good...... Yes? You want silver! Liu Yueling looked shocked.
He was ready to dedicate himself, this guy actually chose silver, is he not even worth seven hundred taels, and suddenly became angry.
Tang Xuan looked suspicious, poked his head out, and asked, "What?" It's embarrassing, isn't it? ”
Liu Yueling's face instantly became a little ugly, her chest rose and fell, and she said coldly: "Since you promised, come with me, I will give you the silver." ”
After that, Liu Yue turned around and left.
"Inexplicably, why are you angry again...... This woman is really cautious. Tang Xuan muttered and followed.
……
In a hurry, Liu Yueling took Tang Xuan to the Guangxuan Marquis' Mansion, and Guangxuan Marquis Jiang Yulin personally greeted him out of the mansion.
"The one who saved my Fengqi City from fire and water was actually a young hero!" Guangxuanhou Jiang Yulin hugged his fists and saluted from afar, "Shaoxia has always been low-key, and Benhou has not made much preparations, please forgive Shaoxia." ”
"Don't dare, in the countryside and village of Xiaqu District, the Hou Ye actually greeted him in person, and he was sincerely afraid." Tang Xuan hurriedly returned the salute.
Entering the lobby and taking a seat, Liu Yueling was unusual, and took the lead in speaking: "Master Hou once said that anyone who can bring Tang Xuan to the Hou Mansion will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, I don't know if it can be cashed?" ”
"Ben Hou speaks, naturally counts, and someone comes...... Go to the silver bureau to get a thousand taels of silver. Jiang Yulin gave an order, and his guards immediately took out the silver.
The Marquis of Guangxuan is the title of the imperial court, and he enjoys the food of this mansion, not only Fengqi City, but also more than a dozen small counties and thousands of villages and towns around it, and there is no shortage of this silver tael.
Liu Yueling took the silver taels, drew seven hundred taels from them, handed them to Tang Xuan, and said coldly: "This is the silver owed to you, we have cleared the two...... As for the grace of saving lives, I will repay it later. ”
After that, Liu Yueling hugged her fist at Jiang Yulin, and walked away with three hundred taels of silver, and when she left, she glanced at Tang Xuan defiantly.
Tang Xuan looked at the silver in front of him and scratched his head, he always felt that something was wrong, but this white silver was real......
"Tang Shaoxia, I won't tell you, now that Fengqi City is in crisis, Ben Hou dares to ask Shaoxia to stay here and assist Ben Hou in exterminating the Red Blood Sect, and I hope that Shaoxia will help." Jiang Yulin was not polite, and directly explained his intentions.
"I am willing to serve my life...... However, when the crisis of the nearby Red Blood Sect is eliminated, I still have to leave in the future. ”
Tang Xuan agreed, he had always been worried about being chased and killed by the big demon of Bliss Town, so he deliberately hid his identity, now the big demon of Bliss Town has not come, maybe they have given up, but Tang Xuan can't relax, he doesn't want to stay in Fengqi City for too long.
"Okay, Ben Hou will ask General Xiahou to appoint you as the Zhonglang general, and if the young man needs it, just ask." Jiang Yulin was overjoyed.
……
became a lieutenant general, and he served the imperial court.
Jiang Yulin is a royal family and enjoys a vast number of food estates, but he is only a fictitious position, and the Great Liang Dynasty did not give them the right to command the army in order to limit the strength of these princes.
Everything in Fengqi City is in charge of General Xiahouwei, and Tang Xuan, a lieutenant general, is also under the command of Xiahouwei.
However, this Fengqi City has been very quiet recently, and the people are busy repairing their houses, Tang Xuan's status is noble, and he doesn't have to go to the streets to investigate the case, so he has a quiet time.
Now he lives in Liu Yueling's mansion again, with no worries about food and clothing, and has almost nothing to do except for cultivation.
This day in the evening.
Tang Xuan bought some paper, made some oil paints, and began to paint.
He was originally an engineering student, and he had nothing else to do, so he painted some works in his spare time and sold them in the market.
Those dignitaries have only seen ink paintings, and they appreciate this unique realistic style of oil painting, and the benefits are considerable!
"Crunch!"
As soon as the door opened, the little maid Cherry brought tea.
"Childe is really good at drawing, but why don't these girls have any clothes?" Cherry placed the tea on the table and leaned over to watch.
Isn't this nonsense?
Only this kind of immoral thing can be sold at a high price.
"When I was in Yanggu County, the people lived in poverty, without food and clothing, and I was painting the suffering of the people." Tang Xuan was a little speechless, isn't this little girl shy when she sees this kind of thing? It's really a bad day!
"Tang Gongzi is actually a person of high character, and he is completely different from what Miss said...... Is the son in love with my young lady, if so, the slave can pull the strings for the son. "Cherry is a little different from ordinary women, and she speaks straightforwardly.
Tang Xuan put down his pen, thought for a moment, sat back at the table, took a sip of tea, and said leisurely: "Miss Liu's flower and moon appearance are absolutely unworthy below. ”
"Childe's words are wrong, you are a hero who saved Fengqi City, and your strength is outstanding, I think you are talented and beautiful, very suitable...... Just tell me directly, do you have a crush on my young lady? Cherry seems to be interested in matching the two.
Tang Xuan touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "Who doesn't love beauties, your young lady's figure and appearance are all top-notch, but ...... By the way, why are you so attentive, what good is it for you to match us? ”
"Naturally, if Miss marries you, I will be a big girl, and according to custom, I can be regarded as a son! On the wedding night, I want to try the son's ...... Strength. When Cherry said this, her eyes flickered a little, and she didn't dare to look at Tang Xuan's eyes.
"This ...... How dare you say it! Tang Xuan smiled helplessly.
"What's this! Childe is the dragon and phoenix among people, if I follow Childe, it is a blessing, and I will eat and drink for the rest of my life...... And, I do like Childe. "Cherry, this little girl is simple-minded, and she doesn't even twist it.
Cherry's small appearance is not bad, and her figure is also maintained very well, she is the type of pearl and jade, she is thin in her clothes, and she has meat in her clothes, which is just complementary to Liu Yueling.
Tang Xuan's mind was a little thoughtful, and after a long time, he reacted and said, "This matter is not something we can decide......
"Why can't you decide, Miss loves me the most, why don't we cook the raw rice first and see how she ......cooks it," Cherry suggested.
As he was saying this, the ground suddenly shook, the windows shook violently, and soon calm returned!
Something went wrong?
