Chuzhou is not small, especially after the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was dug in the previous dynasty, as a transportation hub, it is already the first state in the southeast of Huaishui.

But at this moment, the four gates were closed, and the city walls were full of soldiers and horses, as if they were facing a great enemy.

"I am Li Qiang, the general of the Tang Yi Mansion, and I was ordered to reinforce Chuzhou and open the city gate quickly!"

Li Qiang shouted towards the city, and his voice was clearly transmitted to the city tower with true qi, and everyone's ears were heard.

Reinforcements sent by the Imperial Court!?

A man who looked like an official on the city wall was ecstatic when he heard this, but he poked out half of his head, and there were only two people under the city wall, a man and a woman.

This is the reinforcement sent by the imperial court?

It looks like a boy and a maidservant on an outing!

These two can't be made by youkai, right?

Thinking of this, the official retracted his head behind the buttress and asked loudly, "Are you really sent by the imperial court?"

Officials in Chuzhou were cautious......

Li Qiang took out General Lang's waist card and the documents of the military department.

"Put it in the basket and wait for me to inspect it!"

A hanging basket was put down on the tower of Chuzhou City, and Li Qiang hit his horse forward slightly, which frightened the official and shouted: "Archer, be on guard!"

Under the aim of dozens of pairs of longbows, Li Qiang put the waist card and paperwork into the hanging basket.

As soon as the hanging basket was halfway up, the cold light flickered on the city's head, and a feather arrow shot towards Li Qiang.

Li Qiang hurriedly drew his sword and cut the flying feather arrow in two.

I only heard the officials at the head of the city scolding at the soldiers who released the arrows: "Fuck you, Lao Tzu asked you to be vigilant, didn't let you release the arrows, if you hurt the officials from the court, you can't afford to pay for ten heads!"

After scolding the people, the official poked half of his eyes into the city again, and when he saw that Li Qiang was fine, he put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "The soldier missed, and I hope that the lord will have a lot of Haihan." After the villain finishes the inspection, he immediately invites the adults in. ”

Li Qiang didn't say anything, beat the horse back to Li Yu'er, and complained: "I don't know what they are afraid of, there are only two of us, can we still eat him?"

Li Yu'er yawned and said lazily: "Look at those people in the city, if there is a capable chief official, will you let those newly refined monsters run rampant on the official road?"

The hanging basket slowly rose up, but there was no movement on the top of the city.

After half a cup of tea, Li Qiang finally couldn't help but shout: "Have you finished checking the paperwork, when will you let me enter the city?"

Only then did the official at the head of the city appear by the battlement, and replied with a wave of his hand: "Li Lang will be calm for a while, Lord Assassin Shi is already on the way here, and he will come to welcome the Lord into the city in person immediately." ”

After another quarter of an hour, the city gate of Chuzhou slowly opened, and Shi Fengcai, the assassin, took a group of officials of all sizes to personally welcome Li Qiang and the others in.

Chuzhou Thorn Shi Feng Cai looks like he is about forty years old, and his bearing is acceptable, but his temples are a little gray, I don't know if it is because the local government affairs are too busy.

"Recently, demons and bandits have been rampant, and the world is chaotic, so I have to be careful, so that Lord Lang will be wronged!"

"The general just received an order from the military department nine days ago, with 2,000 men and horses, and he was still on the way, so I rushed over first. Li Qiang replied.

There is no horse, and the Lang general with a bare pole comes......

A trace of disappointment flashed in Feng Cai's eyes, and he said to Sima Chen Wu of Chuzhou beside him: "The army has not yet arrived, we have to be careful these days!"

Chen Wu said solemnly: "I will follow the orders of my lord." ”

There were no government soldiers in the city of Chuzhou, only 3,000 local state soldiers. said that it was a state soldier, but in fact, it was a temporary gathering of farmers, led by Sima Chen Wu of Chuzhou, who was a little more familiar with military affairs.

In line with the mentality of not seeking merit, but seeking no fault. Three thousand soldiers, facing dozens of little demons, defend Chuzhou City!

The adults in the court still know about local affairs, and at least they can see that behind Feng Cai's snowflakes of urgency, Chuzhou City actually does not have too much danger.

Be careful......

How else can you be careful?

Li Qiang's eyelids jumped.

"Lord Lang has worked hard all the way, and the official has prepared some thin wine in the house to wash the dust for the adult, and please Lord Lang to appreciate the light. ”

"Your Excellency is polite, it is better to be respectful than to obey your orders. ”

Li Qiang had to stay in Chuzhou for a while, so he naturally had to have a good relationship with the local officials.

The official rank of Chuzhou Thorn Shi Feng Cai is from the fourth grade, which is the same as Li Qiang. But Li Qiang is a general of the forbidden army, a serious Beijing official, and he is a close confidant of the prince, so he is actually half a level higher than Feng Cai.

Feng Cai naturally wanted to treat Li Qiang well, but he was a little contemptuous in his heart.

First, Li Qiang is young, at the age of eighteen, how much ability can he have?

Second, Li Qiang is a general, but he has a female dependent. It even made a Chuzhou official think that this person was a debaucher.

How can a general put down his soldiers and take his maidservants to the front of the two armies?

Bold and bold!

Thinking so, I still have to get by on face.

Especially this person is also surnamed Li, this is the surname of the Tang Dynasty, he was appointed as a general of the forbidden army at such a young age, who would believe that he has no royal background?

Does anyone believe it?

Anyway, Feng Cai didn't believe it.

A gold-plated royal child from the capital, just hold it for a long time, and just ask the court soldiers and horses to come in a few days to be more powerful......

Chuzhou has been closed for some days, and winter has just passed, so there are no delicious vegetables and fruits.

At the dust washing banquet, Feng Cai made a lot of money, chickens, ducks, fish, cows, and sheep were all available, and a big table was set up in front of everyone.

The officials in Chuzhou took turns to toast Li Qiang, and they all said that it was because of Li Qiang's blessing that they could eat such a sumptuous and delicious meal, and they would have to rely on the kind words of adults to protect Chuzhou in the future.

Li Yu'er sat next to Li Qiang and pounded the dishes in front of him with chopsticks.

These dishes are just better than those made by the wine shops on the road these days, but according to the taste of the Zhongzhengdian restaurant in Chang'an City, it is still much worse.

These officials in the countryside really haven't eaten anything good.

It's hard to go out!

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and the wine dispersed.

Li Qiang and Li Yu'er stayed in the official office, and when everyone dispersed, Li Qiang faded away from the drunken and hazy look on his face, and drew a talisman on the oil lamp.

Li Qiang has a lot of good things on him now, but they can't be used for a while.

The "Dapin Heavenly Immortal Jue" obtained from Bai Yunzi seems to be a profound exercise, but he doesn't have much lifespan and has no time to practice from scratch.

The same is true of the "Secret of the Organs" obtained in the Mountains and Rivers Picture Scroll, and after I hastily flipped through it myself, and after knowing the solutions to several of the tricks, I put it down.

The trick is so mysterious that it can't be learned in a few months, and even if you want to practice yourself, it's hard to find all the materials you need in the book for a while.

The second half of "Rune Spell Training" is even more.

In the first half of the book, there are still some dry goods of the method of talismans. As a result, in the second half, it is all about introducing the materials of rune paper, rune pen, rune ink, dansha, and spell water.

Yellow frost paper is not as effective as green sandalwood paper, green sandalwood paper is not as good as cold gold paper, and cold gold paper is not as good as cicada wing paper......

The peach pen is not as good as the green bamboo pen, the green bamboo pen is not as good as the white cloud pen, the white cloud pen is not as good as the jade shoot pen, and the jade shoot pen is not as good as the leaf tendon pen......

......

So, what are these things?

Most of the materials mentioned in the book are unheard of by Li Qiang. But the book only introduced the names and appearances of these materials, but did not tell Li Qiang where to find them.

Therefore, in the end, the study of talismans is compared to the materials used to draw talismans?
