Volume 1 Chunming Chapter 8 Escort

Bai Hao shook the bamboo fan lightly, carried his back with one hand, and slowly appeared in front of the county yamen.

Zhang Yuci saw that the person who came was Bai Hao, the inspector, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Yuci of Longquan Town has seen Lord Bai!" ”

Bai Hao had an inexplicable smile on his face, playing with taste: "Didn't Zhao Lao just say that this king released the pigeons of Zhang County's order?" ”

As soon as he heard that the inspector claimed to be the king, and saw the handsome face of the famous epicenter of the Earth Divine Continent, the old man knew the identity of the inspector even if he was stupid, and he was immediately frightened and pale, and hurriedly made amends: "The old slave has eyes and does not know the pearls, and he didn't recognize it as Lord Bai, but the adult is really handsome, a talent!" ”

Bai Hao pursed his lips, looked disdainful, didn't pay attention to the rainbow fart of the ancestor of the Zhao family, turned his head to look at the young county commander Zhang Yuci, he had seen this young county commander in the court before in his memory, although Zhang County's appearance at that time was not how handsome he was, but he could be regarded as a white-faced young man, but he didn't expect that it had only been a few years before he was already a touch of wheat complexion.

Bai Hao bowed slightly, and said: "I came to the town here on the orders of His Majesty, and at that time, there will be a group of Qin State's cultivation seedlings traveling here, and the purpose of my visit this time is also to be able to escort these seedlings through the town safely." There is no need to make a public statement, just keep a low profile, and remember to keep a low profile. ”

Regarding some of the rules and regulations in this so-called escort trip, Bai Hao naturally didn't want to reveal more to the two in front of him, not because he couldn't believe it, but because it involved some secrets in the town, even if someone like Bai Hao was arrogant, he didn't talk about the town, because in the eyes of some people in the town, Bai Hao, a so-called genius, was worthless in their eyes.

Zhang Yuci said loudly: "Subordinates obey the order!" ”

He knew what the word "Qin" meant, as the largest of the six hegemons in the Middle Earth Divine Continent, the strength of the Qin State and the Shu State, one of the six hegemonic states, could not be compared, not to mention that the Xia State was only a vassal state of the Shu State, which was really small and unbearable, if it weren't for the fact that the Xia State had produced several Ming monarchs with good policies in a row and a cultivation genius like Bai Hao, I was afraid that it would have been annexed by other feudal states in Shu, which was full of vassal states.

Bai Hao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Relax, just treat them as if they are here to enjoy the mountains and rivers." ”

The ancestor of the Zhao family, who was hunched over, had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two with his ears pricked up, and at this moment, when he heard that there would be a monk from the Qin Kingdom entering the town recently, he was immediately frightened and his crotch tightened.

Bai Hao casually glanced at the ancestor of the Zhao family, and saw that the latter's expression was hesitant, his whole old face was like a frosted eggplant, he frowned slightly, and kicked the latter's ass, "Pack up and go home quickly, tell your family that the bunch of rabbits and cubs have been causing trouble recently, if you dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, then don't blame this king for being polite, it will not be as simple as a plaque at that time." ”

Regarding the theft of the golden plaque on the ancestral hall of the Zhao family, Bai Hao also heard a little about it on the way here.

The ancestor of the Zhao family heard Bai Hao's words at this moment, and his face was purple and blue for a while, and finally sighed, the family is unfortunate.

Bai Hao put away the bamboo fan and reminded: "Why don't you get out of here?" ”

The old man didn't say much, turned to leave.

Bai Hao put his hands behind his shoulders, slowly walked into the government office and sat on the high hall, his expression was a little lazy, and he said: "Actually, this king came this time, first, to escort the monks down the mountain, and secondly, now the town is like a frightened bird, and the whole body is moved, so in order to suppress the forces of various families, Your Majesty also ordered this king to come to the town this time." ”

Zhang Yuci listened in a daze, like falling clouds.

Bai Hao continued: "You don't have to think too much, the reason why I am telling you this is just to take this opportunity to complain. ”

Bai Hao smiled warmly: "There is also something about the three families in the town, you can rest assured, since I am here, I will definitely go there when the time comes." ”

In fact, the three major families in the town are indeed a headache for Zhang Yuci, a young county magistrate, because these three families have been entrenched in the town for many years and have great prestige, among which the Longquan Zhao family is the surname of the town, which also makes it difficult for Zhang Yuci to implement some local policies. This time, Bai Hao sang with him with a red face and a white face, which can be regarded as a slap in the face for the ancestor of the Zhao family.

Bai Hao got up and rubbed the bamboo fan, "This king is a little tired, take me to the resting place." ”

————

After the carriage left, Zuo Shuwen looked depressed, he thought that he would never have the opportunity to see Bai Hao, an enemy he had never met again, but he didn't expect to meet Bai Hao and his party in the town.

"Zuo Shuwen, what are you doing squatting here?"

A slightly immature voice rang in his ears.

Zuo Shuwen turned his head to look aside.

As a result, he saw a boy standing beside him, holding a string of sugar gourds in his hand, stuffing one in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Zuo Shuwen, did you deliberately wait here for me to snatch my sugar gourd to eat?" ”

After speaking, the boy stared at Zuo Shuwen vigilantly, and at the same time did not forget to hide the sugar gourd behind him.

Zuo Shuwen pulled the corners of his mouth, this boy is Li Gan, the son of Li Dadong of the blacksmith shop, the lawless Li Xiaodevil in the town, although his temperament is not bad, but a mouth is really indescribable, probably inherited his mother's pungent temperament, the boy showed a good talent in quarreling and scolding the street at a young age, and he was also the only student who could give Lu Ran a headache.

After Li Gan fought a battle between heaven and man, he said solemnly: "If you really covet my sugar gourd, you can say, if you give me a tael of silver, how about I reluctantly sell you a taste?" ”

If it weren't for Zuo Shuwen's naughty and mischievous personality, maybe he would have been deceived by his innocent expression.

Zuo Shuwen smiled dryly: "A gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, since you value this string of sugar gourds so much, keep it for yourself and eat it." ”

The child probably felt that he had made such a big concession, and Zuo Shuwen was able to be indifferent, so the ghost shouted: "Zuo Shuwen, do you want to buy it or not!" If you don't give me the right words, I won't sell you! ”

Zuo Shuwen was speechless, he had no way to deal with this ghostly little guy, only Zhong Quan had a way to treat him among the three brothers, one big and one small were like siblings, in Li Gan's words, Zhong Quan was his brother who cut off the head of the chicken and burned the yellow paper, every time the two of them met sneakily hid aside, and from time to time Zhong Quan's laughter came.

Seeing that Zuo Shuwen ignored him, the child felt bored, trotted home, and did not forget to make a grimace at Zuo Shuwen before leaving.

Zuo Shuwen squatted on the curb for a while, looking at the somewhat muddy road, thinking about how to deal with it if he ran into Bai Hao again in the future, but he didn't come up with a countermeasure after thinking for a long time, so he had to be a soldier to cover up the water, anyway, if Bai Hao really knew his identity, pinching him to death was as simple as pinching an ant on the ground. Zuo Shuwen also sighed in his heart, he hadn't even touched the threshold of the path of cultivation, let alone revenge.

In fact, Zuo Shuwen has tried to rely on his own groping to open the first realm of the path of cultivation, but strange to say, Zuo Shuwen can clearly attract the aura of heaven and earth into the body, but there is no sign of aura in the Qifu Cave, except for the daily introduction of the aura of heaven and earth to strengthen the body, there is no other use, it stands to reason that you are the prince of a country, and the cultivation talent should not be bad, but Zuo Shuwen has not been able to step into the first step of this practice.

Zuo Shuwen got up and patted the dust on his clothes and prepared to go home, but he didn't expect a pair of hands to reach out behind his back and press him hard, it turned out that Zhong Quan appeared behind him at some point, and the tall young man said with a big grin: "Why is he squatting on the side of the road alone, what about that kid Xia Chengyi?" ”

Zuo Shuwen slapped Zhong Quan's big hand away with some disgust, "Do you think everyone is as idle as you?" ”

Zhong Quan raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "Aren't you also wandering around?" Why, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps? ”

Zuo Shuwen covered his forehead, "That's not how this sentence is used. ”

Zhong Quan glared, "Just understand the meaning, what's the matter, read some sage books and look down on my brother?" ”

Zuo Shuwen hugged his head and sighed.

Zhong Quan jumped up and looked at the gate of the town from afar, "What did you say the official came to our town this time?" ”

Except for Zhang Yuci, the young county magistrate who looked a little stupid, the town had actually not welcomed people from the imperial court to the town for many years. I heard the old people in the town say that the reason why the imperial court did not send people down was because the war situation in the east was tense, and the Shu State had to let the vassal states under its support send heavy troops to guard the eastern pass to prevent the invasion of the demon clan; Second, I felt that there was no need to come to a corner of their town.

As a hegemon in the easternmost part of the Middle Earth Divine Continent, Shu has long had friction with the demon monks of Dongming Cangzhou, and it is also affected by the demon clan, the capital of Shu has been moved from Eastern Shu to Western Shu, and the boundary of Eastern Shu is guarded by the monks of Mingjian Pass. Affected by the perennial war, the Shu State is also a river and a crumbling river, and the people in the court are panicked, and at this time, the Xia State is also quietly rising, and there is a great tendency to replace it.

Zuo Shuwen's eyes froze, his complexion changed and changed, and finally shook his head, "I don't know either." I heard that it was a disciple of a certain great sect who traveled down the mountain, and let the official escort these people. ”

Zhong Quan held his head in his hands, and held a Lu Wei grass in his mouth, "Great sect, do you think our brothers can be selected as disciples by those big sects?" ”

Zuo Shuwen said angrily: "Aren't you claiming to be the number one cultivation genius in the ages?" Isn't it easy to enter a sect and become a descendant disciple? ”

Zhong Quan was not annoyed, scratched his head, and smiled.

Zuo Shuwen looked at the amber sunset in the distance, and then turned to leave, while not forgetting to shout: "Let's go!" ”

Zhong Quan hurriedly followed.

"Do you think the gods on the mountain will take me in as a disciple?"

"How do I know?"
