Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Strange Fate
Lishan Sword School.
Yu Zheng stood in the main hall.
Qi Jinfeng wore a golden hairpin on his head, and his body stood beside him with a rickety body.
"That Ye Gucheng is really strong!"
Qi Jinfeng asked in a low voice.
Yu Zheng smiled bitterly: "It's a bit outrageous. β
To be honest, Yu Zheng was in a depressed mood at this time.
In the battle of Black Cliff Ridge, the appearance of Ye Gucheng stole everyone's limelight.
Originally, he thought that he should not have anything to do with Ye Gucheng, but he never expected that as soon as he returned to the sect, Qi Jinfeng told him that a martial artist named Ye Gucheng was going to challenge his master Yu Shan.
At first, Yu Zheng thought he had heard it wrong.
But with Qi Jinfeng's repeated confirmation, he had to believe that it was true.
"Defeat Jin An with one sword, Senior Aunt, do you think Shizun can do it?" Yu Zheng asked softly.
Qi Jinfeng's old face was a little dignified, "I can't do it, let alone a sword, even if I try my best, Senior Brother is not Jin An's opponent." β
Yu Zheng took a deep breath, "Then won't Master Zun lose this time!" β
Qi Jinfeng shook her head and didn't speak, but her sunken eyes were full of worry.
β¦β¦
Tianzhou City.
After finishing Jin'an, Qin Wei came to the Yamen of the Political Secretary.
The Bloody Cloak Building has been destroyed, and the points obtained by the major sects have almost been determined.
Next, Qin Wei had to redeem his previous promise and arrange official positions for the major sects.
But now the Wusi of Tianzhou Town doesn't even have a yamen station, which is somewhat unreasonable.
Therefore, Qin Wei came to Tian Sixin and asked if there was a suitable place to serve as a yamen station.
"Meet Your Highness!"
In the main hall of the political secretary, Tian Sixin and a group of officials bowed to Qin Wei.
Qin Wei sat on the main seat and bowed slightly, "Everyone, please be exempt." β
Compared with before, there are many fewer officials in the yamen of the political secretary, and there are seven or eight vacant positions for officials above the sixth rank alone.
As for where the few officials went, they naturally went to the prison of the judge.
I have to say that Ji Rin's style of acting is still very sharp, even if Qin Wei has already delivered the words, Ji Rin still won seven or eight officials in the Yamen of the Political Secretary.
It's not that Ji Rin doesn't give Qin Wei face, he has already done what Qin Wei said.
Grasp the big and let go of the small, and those who turn themselves in will be dealt with lightly.
If it weren't for Qin Wei's words, it was estimated that there would not be a few people left.
"Lord Tian, if this king wants to establish the Yamen of the Zhenwu Division, this yamen station is indispensable." Qin Wei looked at Tian Sixin and said.
Tian Sixin lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said: "Your Highness, if Your Highness is in a hurry, the lower official can let the Secretary of the Political Department vacate this official residence and use it as the yamen of the Zhenwu Division. β
Qin Wei rolled his eyes and asked the chief secretary to vacate the official residence, isn't this asking for trouble?
If this matter reaches the court, I don't know how those imperial bureaucrats will spread rumors about him.
"No, the Zhenwu Division's yamen doesn't need to be too big, as long as there is a larger courtyard."
According to Qin Wei's plan, the Tianzhou Town Martial Division, like the Kyoto Town Martial Division, will set up eight thousand household divisions under its subordinates, of which two thousand households will stay in Tianzhou City, and the remaining six thousand households will be divided into the nineteen prefectures of Tianzhou, and at that time, there will be about two small flags in each county, and each prefecture will have about three hundred households.
Although this would disperse the power of the Martial Division, it would be able to more effectively supervise all the martial arts forces in the entire Tianzhou.
Again, Zhenwusi is not an army, but a yamen similar to the six gates.
After the establishment of the Tianzhou Town Martial Arts Division, the main responsibilities were twofold, one was to supervise the civil martial arts forces, and the other was to crack down on martial arts crimes.
Therefore, it is very necessary to let the Zhenwu Division be delegated to the county seat.
As for the Yamen station of Zhenwu Division in Tianzhou, there is no need for too much space, as long as it is enough to handle daily official business.
"Well, there's no proper courtyard in the city!" Tian Sixin was a little embarrassed.
It's not that he's deliberately shirking, but the buildings in Tianzhou City are all owned by owners.
Qin Wei also understood these situations, "If it doesn't work, buy one." β
"Your Highness, the Chief Secretary has no money!" Tian Si Xindao.
ββ¦β¦β
Qin Wei felt that this old man was playing tricks again.
"Your Highness, the Chief Secretary really has no money to use!" Tian Sixin felt Qin Wei's suspicious gaze, and said without tears.
At this time, how dare he play tricks in front of Qin Wei.
He had just handed over the self-defense recital, and it was estimated that he should have entered the imperial city at this time, if Qin Wei wanted to make him stumble, a recital would be enough to make him ruined.
Qin Wei didn't bother to take care of the financial situation of the political secretary, "I don't need your political secretary's money, our Zhenwu Division has money!" β
"Let's go, let's see if there's a suitable spot first!"
After that, he didn't care about Tian Sixin, who was still wiping his sweat, and got up and left the political secretary.
Tian Sixin hurriedly beckoned He Zhijie to follow.
Afterwards, the group came to the street in front of the chief secretary.
This street is the main street of Tianzhou City, which leads directly to the east and west gates, and the Yamen stations such as the Political Division, the Judicial Division, and the Capital Division are all on this street.
Qin Wei also wanted to put the yamen of the Zhenwu Division on this street.
Qin Wei has walked this street many times, and he is quite familiar with the buildings on both sides of the street, and he has a few suitable options in his heart.
Walking about three hundred meters east along the street, Qin Wei stopped in front of an exquisite and ornate building.
Cloud Smoke Pavilion!
"Whose property is this?" Qin Wei asked.
Tian Sixin and He Zhijie glanced at each other and said, "Your Highness, this is the property of Wanfu Temple. β
"What's the business in there?" Qin Wei continued to ask.
"This~~"
Tian Sixin hesitated.
Qin Wei gave him a strange look, and he didn't know why he hesitated.
"Forget it, let's go in and have a look."
"Wait~~" Tian Sixin stopped Qin Wei.
Qin Wei frowned slightly.
"Your Highness, this is a green building!" Tian Sixin said in a low voice.
Qin Wei's expression froze, and he looked up at the gorgeous and exquisite pavilion.
Antique, solemn and gorgeous!
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a green building, it feels more like a place of pure cultivation for Buddha and enlightenment.
And Qin Wei passed by here several times before, and he didn't see the courtesans soliciting customers!
"Ahem, Yunyan Pavilion is not an ordinary green building, but a place where red sleeves add incense, and there are all pure people inside, all of whom will worship the Buddha and chant sutras, and it is a quiet place to visit the Buddha." Tian Sixin said embarrassedly.
"Bullshit!"
"The green building is the green building, a quiet place to visit the Buddha!"
Qin Wei felt that he seemed to have an indescribable fate with Qinglou.
When he was in Kyoto, he sealed the incense pavilion, but now the incense pavilion has been unsealed.
There is no way, the entertainment matters of the people of Kyoto are relatively small, and for the development of the entertainment industry in Kyoto City, Qin Wei cannot always ban the incense pavilion.
So he returned the Incense Pavilion to the Xinyi Sect.
As for who this incense pavilion belongs to now, Qin Wei said that he didn't know either.
But Li Ru and Cheng Zhao are clearer.
ProbablyγIt may belong to a certain county king's mansion!
Needless to say, which county palace it is.
It's just that Qin Wei didn't expect that the place he fancied in Tianzhou City was actually a Qinglou.
"A group of monks open a green building, and the world is going down!"
Qin Wei looked up at the Cloud Smoke Pavilion.
This place is large enough, and there are ready-made pavilions and courtyards, which are very suitable for serving as the yamen of the Zhenwu Division.
"Since it's from Wanfu Temple, there's no hurry!"
"Let's go back!"
After Qin Wei finished speaking, he turned around and got into the carriage.
Tian Sixin and He Zhijie looked at each other, not understanding what Qin Wei meant.
β¦β¦
In the town at the foot of the Lishan Sword Sect Mountain.
A young man in a brocade robe walked leisurely through the lively street.
The young man was followed by an old man with gray hair.
"Uncle Yan, how strong do you say this Ye Gucheng is?"
The young man asked, looking at the stalls around him.
The old man said: "That Jin An's strength is not weak, and the person who can defeat him must not be an ordinary person, but the rumors may be a little exaggerated, and the old man feels that Ye Gucheng's should have comprehended the sword momentum and sword intent, and he has not really touched the level of the realm." β
"Why?" The young man was slightly surprised.
"First, because of age, it is rumored in the market that Ye Gucheng looks less than forty years old, although the higher the cultivation, the slower the appearance of the elderly, but before the age of forty to reach the innate realm, that is impossible, the old man estimates that he should be around sixty years old."
"Being able to reach the innate realm at the age of sixty is already considered to be extremely talented."
"The second is because of the rumored description of the battle between the two, everyone says that Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship is superb, but the innate martial artist is not heavy!"
"Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship may be very powerful, but his sword intent should not be very strong."
The old man said slowly.
It is reasonable and well-founded, so that young men feel that it is very reasonable.
Just as the young man nodded in agreement, his expression suddenly froze, and his eyes stared ahead.
On the street in front of them, a man who was out of step with his surroundings was slowly approaching.
"White clothes, long swords, cold and arrogant looks and eyes!"
"Ye Gucheng!"
The young man suddenly said in surprise.
The old man also looked up, and there was a hint of scrutiny in his deep eyes.
The person who came was Ye Gucheng.
Ye Gucheng heard the young man's voice, he just glanced at it and didn't pay attention to it.
But he didn't want to pay attention to the young man, who wanted to get to know him.
"Wait! Ye senior! β
Ye Gucheng stopped, but his eyes fell on the old man beside the young man.
"I've seen Senior Ye in Xia Situ Qianfeng!" Situ Qianfeng came to Ye Gucheng and bowed.
"Something?"
"No, no, no."
Feeling Ye Gucheng's cold gaze, Situ Qianfeng said a little nervously.
Ye Gucheng nodded, did not speak, and continued to walk forward.
He's going to the Lishan Sword Sect.
Today is the time for him to make an appointment with Yu Shan.
"Senpai, Senpai, wait for me!" Situ Qianfeng saw that Ye Gucheng was leaving, so he hurriedly caught up.
"Seniors, juniors have some doubts about kendo and want to ask seniors for advice!"
He leaned over to Ye Gucheng's side and said expectantly.
Ye Gucheng didn't stop, just glanced sideways at Situ Qianfeng.
"His kendo cultivation is not weak, enough to guide you."
"Can the seniors see Uncle Yan's cultivation?" Situ Qianfeng asked with some surprise.
Ye Gucheng bowed slightly.
Probably because of the swordsman's intuition, he could just tell at a glance that this Yan Bo was a kendo master.
Uncle Yan was still looking at Ye Gucheng carefully.
Ye Gucheng looks young and has a unique temperament.
It is completely inconsistent with his previous inferences, which means that all his previous words are nonsense.
Those market rumors not only did not exaggerate, but somewhat belittled Ye Gucheng.
"A peerless swordsman!"
This was his first impression after seeing Ye Gucheng.
"Who is stronger than Senior Ye and Uncle Yan?" Situ Qianfeng asked curiously.
"I'm strong!" Ye Gucheng Road.
Situ Qianfeng looked at Uncle Yan, who didn't say a word, and seemed to acquiesce to Ye Gucheng's words.
Seeing this, Situ Qianfeng's mouth opened slightly, and his eyes were full of shock.
He didn't know Ye Gucheng's strength, but he knew Yan Bo's strength.
Neither of them competed, and Uncle Yan had already admitted defeat!
Doesn't this show that the gap between the two is very big!
"That~"
"Childe, it's time for us to go!" Yan Bo said in a low voice.
"Ah, where are you going?" Situ Qianfeng looked confused.
"Isn't Childe going to Tianzhou City?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, we~~" Situ Qianfeng came back to his senses and waved his hand and said.
But before he could finish his words, Uncle Yan interrupted him and said, "Son, we should go!" β
As he spoke, Yan Bo also grabbed his arm.
His palm was like an iron tong, grabbing Situ Qianfeng tightly.
Situ Qianfeng was in pain.
"Uncle Yan~"
Uncle Yan was looking at Ye Gucheng's back.
"Childe, the rivers and lakes are dangerous!"
His task is to protect Situ Qianfeng's safety, but he has no confidence at all in the face of Ye Gucheng, if Ye Gucheng is not good for Situ Qianfeng, he will definitely not be able to stop him.
"Uncle Yan, this Ye senior has no ill will towards me." Situ Qianfeng said a little unhappily.
"There is no malice, but there are risks! We don't know anything about him. Yan Bo said.
Situ Qianfeng hesitated a little and said, "Senior Ye seems to be going to the Lishan Sword Sect, let's go and have a look." β
He could understand Uncle Yan's actions, but he still wanted to follow Ye Gucheng.
"Childe, don't be willful!" Yan Bo said.
"Let's see from afar!" Situ Qianfeng Road.
Uncle Yan looked at Situ Qianfeng, who was eager to try, and could only nod his head and agree: "That son should listen to the old man's words, and if he encounters danger, get out immediately." β
"Uncle Yan, don't worry, I'm not stupid, if there is danger, I will definitely run the fastest!" Situ Qianfeng said with a smile.
