Chapter 455: Promoting cronies

Now the next step is to wait for the yamen, what Liang Cheng has to do now is to use this so-called healing time to first arrange the defensive array in his mansion, but this array is really not big, in fact it is still very small, it only covers his own courtyard in the innermost part of the city lord's mansion, and everyone else on the periphery is not under the protection of this defensive array.

But because this defensive array is small, in comparison, not only is the consumption small, but the defense is super strong, not to mention that Liang Cheng will not be satisfied with passive defense at all, and is actually ready to arrange several powerful serial killing arrays inside.

This kind of formation in the formation is extremely complicated, if the formation attainment can not reach a considerable level, don't even think about it, because the different effects of the formation set together will affect each other if it is not good, resulting in some very unfavorable linkage effects, as long as there is a flaw in one place, it is likely that the entire chain of formations will be destroyed in the end.

For this reason, Liang Cheng carefully calculated, and under the limited width, decided to use the depth to arrange the combination of these defensive arrays and killing arrays, and pull them away at a suitable distance so that they would not affect each other, so Liang Cheng arranged not only to dig a pit with the two little guys of bricks, the deeper the better.

Liang Cheng has carefully measured many times with various array tools, and he is confident that he can arrange this complex formation in this limited place, as long as the materials used are good enough, it will be difficult for the Yuanying Monk to retreat after coming in, as for the Jiedan Monk, as long as he comes in, don't think that he can go out.

Liang Cheng stepped back into his yard and saw the small bricks turned into the image of a monster with protruding bone spurs on his shoulders, his face was covered with dirt and dust, and he didn't even need a small shovel in his hand, so he used his huge hands to grab and dig the soil, and the efficiency was quite high.

Now this strange shape, the big pit dug along the courtyard wall has been fully formed, and the depth has almost reached six zhang, which basically meets Liang Cheng's requirements.

Liang Cheng nodded with satisfaction: "Well, that's good! ”

The bricks were dug too deeply, and he didn't hear what Liang Cheng was saying after he came in, and he was still struggling to dig the pit with his hands, making the earth and stones fly, and his attitude was very serious.

At this time, not only did the little girl run out of nowhere, but the little flower skirt on her body was clean and clean, and she suddenly fell into Liang Cheng's arms.

Not only smiled at Liang Cheng but said, "Brother, do you think the pit we dug is okay?"

Liang Cheng touched his little head dotingly, and said with a smile: "Of course, my family is not only the most well-behaved, but also serious in doing things." ”

Not only did he giggle, but then he jumped to the edge of the pit and shouted loudly at the bricks that were still digging in the pit: "Hey, bricks, it's okay, my brother said that this pit is qualified!"

"Oh, qualified. Only then did the brick stop, his body shrank, and he turned into a little green monkey, jumped out of the pit, and sighed: "Digging a pit is tiring, it's not fun!"

Not only did Zhengse reprimand: "Just you are greedy for fun, digging a pit is a serious matter, you see that you are still thinking about playing, hurry, go to the well to get some water to wash, otherwise it will be dirty like a mud monkey." ”

"Oh...... Bricks are going to take a shower. Brick turned around and went to the well in the courtyard outside to fetch water and bathe.

"Wait a minute!" Liang Cheng raised his hand to stop the bricks, and said: "Bricks, you wait a while, anyway, your body is dirty, don't be busy washing it first, wait for me to calculate, there are several materials that must be buried at the bottom of the pit in order, so that they can play a role, you can just finish this thing and then go to the bath." ”

......

After two days of careful testing, Liang Cheng announced that the formation was running smoothly and all parts were working normally, which means that this set of painstakingly laid out chain formations has been completely successful, and as long as they return to the house in the future, the word safety will no longer be a problem.

Since not only did he not know the formation method at all before the bricks, Liang Cheng recorded the operation essentials of this chain array in detail on the two jade slips, and handed them over to the two of them to figure it out carefully, so that they could try to learn it.

Not only did he and the brick hold a piece of jade slip, but he sat there frowning and pondering it. After a while, the little green monkey brick became irritable, scratching his ears and cheeks, and not only annoyed him, but also reprimanded him repeatedly, telling this hairy monkey not to affect his hard work by the side.

Brick shrank his head, jumped from the stool to the floor, and looked at the formation operation essentials on the jade slip for a while, but he still didn't seem to understand, and scratched his ears and cheeks again, and then climbed down the pillar to the beam, hanging upside down as if he was asleep and didn't know what he was doing.

After most of the day of study, Liang Cheng was disappointed to find that not only did he not have any talent at all in the formation with the bricks, but his comprehension ability was touchingly poor. Weichang

Liang Cheng felt helpless, and at this time, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he reached out and took out the Tiangong Skillful Art Bead that had not seen the light of day for a long time, and a smile appeared on his face.

If the talent is insufficient, it can be piled up with time, so that not only the two of them can use the Heavenly Craftsmanship Bead to learn the formation for more than ten or twenty days, it will be equivalent to a monk who has been immersed in the formation for more than ten or twenty years in the outside world.

When they spend all this time on formation cultivation, and in the end, they don't ask the two of them to have the attainments of formation mages, just ask them to be able to operate this chain formation, it shouldn't be a problem.

Liang Cheng solemnly handed over the Heavenly Craftsmanship Beads to not only him, told them how to use the beads, and then instructed them not to do anything in the near future, and to quickly use this extraordinary treasure to improve their formation attainments, so as to master the operation of this chain array as soon as possible.

After arranging not only the bricks and bricks, Liang Cheng ignored them, and they took turns to enter the Heavenly Craftsmanship Bead to practice the formation, while Liang Cheng meditated and cultivated on the side to recover his state.

Although the result of this assassination was thrilling, after all, he was fatally injured at the time, and Liang Cheng felt that he had been weakened in all aspects, and it was time to recover.

By the time Liang Cheng felt that his state had fully recovered, and seeing that eight days had passed, he thought that the time it took to heal his injuries after being assassinated was considered long enough, and it was almost time to go to the yamen to perform his duties.

So Liang Cheng sent someone to spread the news and inform the officials of Wanghai City that they would all report to the Yamen of Wanghai City Lord tomorrow, because the new Lord of Wanghai City would go to the Yamen to ascend to the Yamen to receive the seal.

After this news came out, it caused a lot of shock in the officialdom of Wanghai City, because when Liang Cheng was assassinated in the Xijiao Field, it was an unexpected incident under the attention of thousands of people, and almost everyone present saw that the new Wanghai City Lord was pierced through the heart by the assassin's sword, and it seemed that he was already more than lucky.

Then there was no news for seven or eight days, and even Tonghai was not received for the crime of being guilty of Jing, and Tonghai was derelict in his duties, so that such a major event as the assassin being exterminated was reduced to a small matter by the city lord, and it was not pursued.

There are all kinds of signs that the new Wanghai City Lord should be seriously injured and no longer able to control the situation, maybe this person has died in an instant, and even many people speculate that the assassinated Wanghai City Lord is only afraid that he has fallen, and the reason why the news is blocked is kept secret is because he has to wait for the imperial court to send a messenger to clean up the mess.

In this situation, there are those who sigh and those who gloat. However, the majority of people are waiting for the situation to develop further, and of course, there are also the majority of people who are not optimistic that the new city lord will be able to fully recover.

As a result, on the eighth day after the assassination of the city lord, there was such a news, the new city lord will be promoted tomorrow, no matter what attitude everyone has in private, they dare not slack off on this, everyone is ready early, and the official business at hand is done quickly, for fear that the city lord will grab the pigtail and use himself to make a sword.

In fact, officials at all levels were also very curious, and they all wanted to see what the new city lord would do after he ascended to the hall. Therefore, they were all a little nervous and a little curious, and they were ready to go to the city lord's yamen early the next day to wait.

After receiving the news, Tonghai did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly selected five hundred absolutely trustworthy soldiers, gathered them to strictly control them, and prepared to go to the City Lord's Mansion the next day to escort the City Lord all the way to perform his duties.

Then a curfew was imposed that night in Wanghai City, and 3,000 soldiers were sent to patrol the streets and alleys, not sparing any suspicious people, this time all accidents must be eliminated, and no accidents can occur.

The common people in Wanghai City noticed that the government's public security rectification was extremely strict, and of course they did not dare to come forward and cause trouble, so every household hurriedly closed the door panels, closed the windows, and went to bed early to rest.

After a calm night in Wanghai City, nothing abnormal happened, and the people in the city were also slightly uneasy at home, because such a strict curfew had not happened in Wanghai City for hundreds of years.

The time is approaching, the sky is slightly exposed to the white of the fish's belly, Tong Hai has already put on his helmet and armor, and personally led the carefully selected five hundred soldiers to the city lord's mansion, and after a report, he waited quietly outside the door, ready to escort the city lord to perform his duties.

Liang Cheng also made preparations a long time ago, dressed up neatly again, stopped wearing official uniforms and hats, and then called the old housekeeper Liang Shou to pass Shu Tuan, the main staff, in.

After a while, Shu Tuan came to Liang Cheng, Shi Li asked Anbi, Liang Cheng said: "Mr. Shu, the lord of this city wants to promote you to be the master of Wanghai City, manage a lot of clerical affairs, you must do a good job in the future, and assist the government to govern well in this Wanghai City." ”

Shu Tuan was overjoyed, and did not give in modestly, but shook it to the ground and said impassionedly: "Shu Tuan knows that the lord is now employing people, not to mention that he also wanted to repay the lord's kindness, so it is not to be compromised, rest assured, Shu Tuan will do his best to do his best!"
