A hundred miles away, outside the county town of Sangjun, there was a continuous military tent, and each tent was lit with a bright white spiritual candle fire. At night, the barracks are like a reflection of the stars, shining brightly.

The name of the Sangjun Star Army comes from this, more than three hundred years ago, the Heavenly Court Immortal Officials had made a small trouble for the New Heng Dynasty, and gathered a large army of alien beasts on the border. In that battle, the New Star Army made a great feats that would go down in history, not only won the favor of the immortal officials, but also was admired by the people of the world, and in the following hundred years, it was known as the well-deserved New Heng First Army.

Time has passed, and today's star army has long since regained its former glory, but it can still be used as an important force in the border area of the new Heng Dynasty and enjoy unique treatment. The main force of its army is generally stationed outside the county town, and is theoretically restricted by the county guard. However, the pattern of strong guests and weak hosts has always been vividly played by successive Star Army commanders.

Since the death of the predecessor Mr. Mingli of Sangjun County, the position of this county guard has become a dangerous place that the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty have avoided.

However, no matter how much you avoid it, you still have to choose a victim, and the current victim is the young civil official Tuoba Tiancheng, who is also from the capital Fancheng.

As a middle-aged man with no background, who started from scratch by learning and excelling, and turned from a college professor to an administrative bureaucrat, Takuba Tiancheng was overjoyed when he first took up the post of county warden. Because the road of learning and excellence in the new Heng Dynasty has always been bumpy, in his vision, those colleagues whose talents and ambitions are better than him, once they leave the academy environment, they often have to lie dormant for many years to the ups and downs of officialdom, and even hit their heads before they can achieve something. And he has neither such outstanding talent, nor backing, but as soon as he left the academy, he was entrusted with the important task of guarding the county...... This is simply the treatment of the protagonist in the script.

Before setting off from the bustling city, he had always been withdrawn and not good at making friends, but suddenly his home ushered in a large number of visitors. Those college professors who had a good relationship with him, and some middle- and low-ranking officials of the Ministry of Officials came to the door one after another. And he, who never drank alcohol, was drunk all night. At that time, he thought that he might have been photographed by a big man and inexplicably became a political celebrity in the court, so he suddenly had this group of people around him. So occasionally sobering up, I can't help but feel sarcastic, only to feel the utilitarianism of the world, which simply makes innocent people sick. And when he arrives as the county guard, he must follow the example of his predecessor, Mr. Mingli, and show his great aspirations......

After that, he knew what it meant to be happy and sad.

The county guard of Sang County is actually not a complete official position at all, as the smallest county in the northeast region of the Xinheng Dynasty, its administrative level is not as good as the capital Fancheng...... The lord of the eastern capital next door. Therefore, when Tuoba Tiancheng was transferred from the head of the academy to the county punctuary, his official position was actually only increased by half a level. And before Mr. Mingli was appointed as the county guard, it was actually an obvious low post and high match.

If a well-known big man in the DPRK goes to a low post and a high match, he can naturally show his skills in the small Sang County, and Tuoba Tiancheng, who has almost no experience in politics, has taken office...... I quickly understood why those colleagues who came to visit at the beginning looked at themselves with the eyes of dead people every time at the banquet! And the officials who single-handedly handled the process looked even more apologetic!

Because outside the county town of Sang County, there is the camp of the Star Army, and the general in the camp, Li Fengxian, is simply inhuman! is not only arrogant, but also ruthless, on the day he arrived, Li Fengxian killed a subordinate of the county guard in front of him! The man's brain almost splashed on Takuba Tiancheng's shoes!

Of course, Li Fengxian naturally found a reasonable enough excuse afterwards - that person was a felony disguised, carrying a murder weapon and extremely murderous, if he didn't take care of it in time, I am afraid that for a civil official like Tuoba Tiancheng, his life would be in danger.

However, looking at the blood-stained floor of the county guard's mansion and looking at the "evidence" of the so-called murderer handed over by Li Fengxian's subordinates later, Tuoba Tiancheng only felt creepy, and he no longer dared to hope for any grand plans, he just wanted to return to Fancheng on the spot. However, when he almost crawled with a roll, and even ran to the post station without even caring about his own luggage, and asked the person in charge to arrange a shuttle for him as soon as possible, the reply he got was......

"I'm sorry sir, all the shuttles are out of order, so they won't be useful for the time being."

Tuoba Tiancheng was simply dumbfounded, he himself had taken a shuttle from Fancheng to the county seat, and the shuttle was clearly lying not far in front of him, and the aura on the shell was still full and even. However, the person in charge of the post station dared to claim that the shuttle was faulty without looking back! The so-called referring to a deer as a horse is nothing more than that!

What made him even more incredible was that when he showed the seal of the county guard and forced the other party to start the shuttle, the man actually glanced at the seal, showed a disapproving smile, and then bowed his head and said, "I am incompetent, please just remove it!" ”

And the next moment, Tuoba Tiancheng heard a cold voice behind him.

Li Fengxian appeared behind him like a ghost, and said in a low voice: "The county guard wants to go back to Fancheng? I happen to have a starship here, why don't you take my starboat back and let me give you a ride myself? ”

That sentence, until years later, often sounded in his dreams, causing him to wake up in a cold sweat.

And since then, Tuoba Tiancheng has completely clarified his position, and began to be willing to be a dog for Li Fengxian, not only actively covering up his atrocities, but even simply placing the seal of the county guard directly on the table of the county guard's mansion, if Li Fengxian needs it, he directly sent someone over to get the seal, and he didn't even need to inform him! You don't have to come in person!

shrank like this, but finally got a moment of peace. As long as Li Fengxian annexes the power of the county guard, he will not coerce Tuoba Tian too much - after all, he really forced people to death, and if he is replaced by Mr. Mingli, who has a low position and a high match, it will be Li Fengxian's turn to have a hard time.

The county guard and the general have been so peaceful to this day, and after several years of running-in, Li Fengxian will even occasionally share some small profits with him...... On this night, Tuoba Tiancheng was at home with a beautiful woman recruited from the lower city, and he was hearty for a while, and he couldn't help but imagine how moisturized the woman of Liuyan City, which had the name of the three beauties, should be.

Then he was so frightened by a quick and rude knock on the door that he almost retracted into his abdomen.

But instead of daring to be angry, Tuoba Tiancheng immediately became solemn and solemn, and while pushing the beauty away, he hurriedly administered detoxification to himself, and then immediately put on his clothes and walked quickly to the front of the city lord's mansion...... Then, I saw Li Fengxian standing there with a gloomy face and nodded slightly.

"Okay, there's no timeout."

Tuoba Tiancheng hurriedly handed over his hand: "It's all the responsibility, don't dare to delay time." ”

In the past few years, Li Fengxian has almost trained Tuoba Tiancheng as his own soldiers, and the latter is also willing, fully embodying the iron backbone of intellectuals. Now as long as he hears the knock on the door of this night shift, he knows that it must be the general who has been called, no matter what the situation, he can pack up and describe it in a very short time and meet Li Fengxian.

"Things have changed in Liuyan City, I have mobilized two battalions of people, you go with me, be a witness along the way, and make up the procedures in the future."

After speaking, Li Fengxian beckoned to Tuoba Tiancheng and motioned for him to board a blue star boat beside him with him. Tuoba Tiancheng didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly turned into a rainbow and escaped into the star boat. And there were only two of Li Fengxian's henchmen in the boat, one of them was driving the star boat, and the other was standing behind Li Fengxian like a shadow.

Tuoba Tiancheng asked in a low voice, "General, is there anything else I need to know?" ”

Li Fengxian smiled at him with a gloomy face, and said: "Tuoba County Guard, you and I have cooperated in Sang County for many years, and we can be regarded as a tacit understanding, so there are some things I can not hide from you." ”

Tuoba Tiancheng nodded again and again: "Naturally, naturally." ”

In the past few years, the "small profits" he shared from Li Fengxian alone have doomed him to have no other way out, so he naturally knows what kind of secret to keep for the other party.

"This time, the whole territory of the imperial court is arresting the criminals, you should know the inside story."

Tuoba Tiancheng said: "I only know that the Empress Dowager and her party declared the treason of the national teacher, sealed and suppressed it in the Eastern Capital, and at the same time took the opportunity to sweep away political enemies. And the key criminal is the henchman of the national teacher, who holds the key to open the star-pulling platform in his hand. Now the Queen Mother is vain and profitable, as long as she can get the key, then the glory and wealth are unlimited...... General, but there is a rumor? ”

Li Fengxian nodded and sneered: "Count us lucky." ”

Tuoba Tiancheng couldn't help but gasp, and couldn't help asking, "Is it conclusive?" ”

The search for key criminals is all over the territory of Xinheng, why did the key criminals appear in the poor countryside of Sang County?

Li Fengxian snorted: "Use your brains and say less stupid things." That criminal is wanted all over the territory, where else can he go except to run to the sparsely glazed place of Sang County? Tang County, Li County, which place can accommodate him to flow so far? Have you been marching around the county all this time, just to loot money, food, and beauties? Oh, this poor and remote land, even if it scrapes the ground, how can it compare to the glory and wealth promised by the prosperous city? ”

Tuoba Tiancheng praised again and again: "The general is wise...... But according to legend, the key offender held the immortal thunder given by the national teacher in his hand, and it exploded regardless of life and death, which was enough to destroy the world. Wouldn't it be too dangerous for the general to go in person? ”

"That's why I ordered all the people to ......" After a pause, Li Fengxian said again, "What's more, what I found this time is not the culprit himself, most of that person has already died and has no place to be buried, as for what immortal thunder, there is no need to worry." ”

“？” Tuoba Tiancheng was puzzled and couldn't keep up with the train of thought.

Li Fengxian didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said bluntly: "What I saw was a person who claimed to be an immortal Fu envoy, who was holding the Yinxing Baoyu, and was in the house of the city lord in Liuyan City. ”

"Immortal Fu Envoy!?"

"Self-proclaimed Immortal Fu Envoy." Li Fengxian corrected coldly, "That person does have magical powers that are close to immortal officials, and he captained me in front of me...... Performed the method of desolation, deformed it into a worm, and then returned to its original state in an instant. The ease of the means is impressive. ”

“！？” Tuoba Tiancheng opened his mouth and stammered, and only said hurriedly after a while, "If this is the case, that person must be an immortal envoy, in addition to the means of the immortal family, who else can lead the famine?" General, it's okay to deal with other people, but if the other party is an immortal envoy......"

"Self-proclaimed Immortal Fu Envoy!" Li Fengxian corrected again, "The identity of the Immortal Fu Envoy is not about the means and abilities, but about the edict of the Heavenly Court. Without the certification of the immortal official, even if the ability is clear, what can be done? ”

"That'...... Could it be that the person was not sealed? ”

Li Fengxian sneered: "If there is an edict, why does he go to great lengths to play acrobatics in front of me? In the Xinheng Dynasty, who would not recognize the spirit seal given by the immortal official? Who dared to disobey when they saw the immortal official Lingfeng? Even the Queen Mother and the Great General dared to suppress the National Teacher when they had no immortal official spirit seal for the time being. If that person really has a spirit sealed in his hand, he should directly send me to the biochemical desolation and refine me into a lackey! And the star army under my command can also be used to its advantage. He just let me come back and let me send my troops and horses......"

Tuoba Tiancheng couldn't help but say: "Maybe it's the Immortal Fu Lord who is testing the general, and Heavenly Court has always liked to set up various tests for us......"

But Li Fengxian said categorically: "Maybe he is not an immortal envoy at all, but a chaotic minister and thief who stole some immortal magic methods by chance, or a lackey who was privately raised by the national teacher and could not see the light." The immortal official's desolate supernatural power is indeed powerful, but that person doesn't have any special skills other than that, and his cultivation is not at the level of a primordial infant, and he is only single-handed. My two battalions of soldiers stepped forward in formation, and they could wipe him out in a single thought! Oh, Immortal Fue? There is no immortal caressing envoy in the world who has turned into ashes! There is no holding a treasure jade to block my rich immortal envoy! If I was really bluffed by him and surrendered to the side of the national teacher, it would be a big joke in the world! ”

Hearing this, although Tuoba Tiancheng still had worries in his heart, he also knew what Li Fengxian had decided, and he did not allow others to refute it at all, including this party dispute between the DPRK and China, whether to stand on the side of the national teacher or the queen mother, at least he, the county guard, has no right to decide...... I had to nod and say: "This matter must be like this, and I will fully cooperate with the general after that......"

It's just that before he finished speaking, he heard Li Fengxian let out a mocking laugh.

"What do you do with me?"

Tuoba Tiancheng was stunned for a moment and realized that he was afraid that he had answered wrong, but judging from the tone of the other party, this mistake was not important, so he said calmly: "Naturally, I will cooperate with the general, make a full set of evidence, and lock the identity of that person's thief." After the capture of Baoyu, he will write an article to show merit for the general. ”

But I heard Li Fengxian say: "If it's just for this kind of thing, I don't actually have to bring you here in person." Oh, it's really because, I still have an idea, if I can practice it, maybe I can get more than the glory and wealth promised by the prosperous city. But this matter must have your full cooperation, and there must be no half-heartedness. ”

Tuoba Tiancheng was only stunned, he had been trained for so many years, and the iron bones of the literati were completely locked in the commander of this star army, how could he still have two hearts?

But the next moment, he was shocked by Li Fengxian's words, and a cold sweat broke out.

"The man claimed to be an immortal envoy, but he had no evidence. And if we make up the voucher for him, let him really become an immortal envoy, and use this to set things right...... So what? ”

For a while, there was a buzz in Tuoba Tiancheng's head, and he was almost shocked to the point that his consciousness stopped.

Li Fengxian's ambition is so inflated that ordinary people's imagination can't keep up!

However, at this time, in front of the star boat, there was an abrupt applause.

and a young man in red who stood confidently in front of the army.

"Haha, that's a good point, if General Li Fengxian can help me make up the vouchers, and then open the seal of the Eastern Capital and welcome the national division. That is the great general of Xinheng. ”
