"Congratulations to the sage for suppressing Hua Gu and removing a thousand-year-old demon from the world. ”

Looking at the lifelike, beautiful golden body of Guanyin in front of him, Li Xiuyuan heard the congratulatory voice of the Yangtze River King in his ears.

When I came back to my senses, the alligator on the ground was gone, and only a child about twelve or thirteen years old was standing there.

But I didn't completely get rid of this Hua Gu, she said before that she has hundreds of temples and more than 70 Dharma ministers, such demons are like weeds in the field, it is difficult to cut them off, and I just had no choice but to suppress her. Li Xiuyuan looked at the gold of Hua Gu in front of him

He said slowly.

"However, before Hua Gu was suppressed, she only had compassion in her heart, wasn't she? Thousands of years later, when she unlocked the suppression, she was no longer a demon. ”

The king of Yangtze River said: "Maybe she will really become a bodhisattva at that time." ”

"Hehe, it's just a coincidence, she was pretended to be compassion before I turned into a golden body, pretending to be a bodhisattva, maybe the years can wipe out her other evil thoughts, so that this false compassion becomes real compassion, so that the people of the future generations will not have to worry about such evil scourge in the world. "Lee

Xiuyuan said.

Compassion that has been the same for thousands of years, even if it is pretended, may become true after a long time.

There are no immutable people in the world, and there are no immutable demons.

"Hua Gu will be handed over to your care, sink her golden body into the Yangtze River, suppress it for a thousand years, and after a thousand years, my spell of turning stones into gold is estimated to be invalid, although casting spells with the help of divine power can have unimaginable effects, but spells are spells after all, and it is impossible to trap Hua Gu forever,

Li Xiuyuan said.

"The saint has been thinking too much, and I believe that the thousand years of repression are enough to wipe out all her evil. The king of the Yangtze River said.

Then he waved his sleeves, and the golden body of Hua Gu in front of him was immediately rolled up and flew into his sleeve, ready to be taken to the Yangtze River to sink to the bottom of the river as instructed.

He is more than happy to do so.

He is the king of the Yangtze River, if he guards Huagu for a thousand years, wouldn't he indirectly get the promise and continue to let himself be the king of the Yangtze River for a thousand years?

Although it is not explicitly stated, it is already in it.

Of course, the premise is that the king of Yangzijiang has to keep his promise and keep to himself.

"Let's go, Hua Gu has surrendered, and the demons in Yangzhou should have been purged, so since Shi Hu didn't stay with Hua Gu, then I can be sure that this guy has left Yangzhou. Li Xiuyuan turned over his horse and looked to the north.

He vaguely felt that Shi Hu had gone north.

Because after defeating Dongyue Shenjun and seizing his divine power, the governance of ghosts and gods in the Jiangnan area can be said to have fallen into his hands.

If Shi Hu didn't want to use his mantis arm as a car, he would go to the north where he had no jurisdiction.

There is no power base for him at all, only Ma Dong and Niu Er are left there to pay attention to the situation in the north, and by the way, form a little force, hook the soul, and maintain a little peace in the north.

It is not known whether the seeds planted that day were useful or not.

"Drive~!"

Riding a dragon horse, Li Xiuyuan left the county with the king of the Yangtze River and a battalion of men and horses.

The purpose of this trip is to come for Hua Gu, now that Hua Gu has surrendered, and there is no need to stay here any longer, as for the turmoil in this county, he will send someone to govern it later.

A day later, he returned to Jincheng Road.

Although the turmoil has subsided, the aftermath is extremely heavy, fortunately there is Wang Ping in his army, Fu Tianqiu in Jinling City, and Li Linfu in the house for ghosts and gods.

The number of people seems to be small, but all of them are independent talents.

Especially Li Linfu, the commander of the management of ghosts and gods, started from scratch, and it all relied on him to help the village, otherwise Li Xiuyuan would be so easy.

"The general is back. ”

"Meet the General. ”

After returning to Jinling City with a part of the people, Li Xiuyuan immediately walked towards the yamen.

Before entering the yamen, a servant trotted over respectfully, and said: "The little one has seen the general, and Master Fu has asked the little one to wait for the general to come back here, and report to the general if he has something." ”

"Oh, what's the matter with sending someone to wait for me to come back? Tell me, what's wrong with Jinling City. Li Xiu said from afar.

The official said: "Back to the general, just when the general went out to fight, the two envoys of the imperial court arrived, and they came with the will of the imperial court. ”

"The imperial court has sent an envoy again? What is the specific matter, do you know some eyebrows? Li Xiuyuan asked.

The official replied: "I listened to the brothers in the government office, it was the reward of the imperial court, and the little one saw that the envoy brought a lot of treasures, including the BMW of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the jade belt, the treasure armor, and the gold and silver satin, congratulations to the general, He Xi general, the general repelled the rebels, relieved the siege of Jinling City, and now will."

The prestige of the army has reached the ears of the emperor, and the general will definitely be able to rise to prominence and glory in the future. ”

"Okay, you don't need to shoot the sycophants, and if you shoot them, you won't be rewarded, go down and pass the word, let those two envoys come to the yamen, and the general will naturally meet them." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, the little one will go and pass the word. The servant trotted away one after another.

When he walked into the yamen, there was Duan Wenruo beside Fu Tianqiu in the lobby who was dealing with and helping to deal with government affairs, and at the same time, there was a familiar person helping on the side.

"Hey, Ning Caichen, are you here too?" Li Xiuyuan was immediately a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Ning Caichen was also among the yamen.

Ning Caichen immediately raised his head after hearing the voice, and after seeing Li Xiuyuan, he hurriedly put down the brush in his hand, stood up and saluted: "Xiaosheng visited General Li, thanks to General Li's trust, after Xiaosheng received General Li's letter, he immediately rushed to help, hoping Xiaosheng's modest strength."

There is a place to help General Lee. ”

"One mouthful of General Li, you and I have been friends for a long time, and now that I have abandoned my pen and followed Rong, don't you look down on me as a martial artist?" Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.

"Don't dare, don't dare," Ning Caichen smiled shyly and touched his head a little embarrassed.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Hehe, how does it feel to be an official?"

Ning Caichen said with a bitter face: "Now Xiaosheng knows what the labor of the case is, the official documents processed every day are piled up higher than people, and they have to be carefully corrected, for fear that something will go wrong and spoil the people's affairs." ”

"Yes, this is the official, the responsible official is naturally hard and tired, but those mediocre officials don't care about the life and death of the people, how comfortable and how to come, the people will naturally suffer, you can experience the taste of the hard work of the case, this shows that you are attentive, thank you here

Thank you for your help. Li Xiuyuan bowed.

Ning Caichen was a little flattered: "Brother Li is polite, Xiaosheng's fame is not a showman, now that he has this opportunity to do things for the people, how dare he slack off?

"Li Gongzi, don't patronize the past, and don't care about your old father-in-law's life in prison? Master Fu can always rest assured that he can't worry about state affairs even in the prison cell, and often ask Li Gongzi about your news, hoping that Li Gongzi will go well in this battle, wipe out the thieves in one fell swoop, and return the world

Tranquility. Duan Wenruo next to him smiled and bowed, and then spoke.

Li Xiuyuan replied with a salute and said: "Youlao, Master Fu remembers, but thanks to the blessing of his subordinates fighting to the death, the turmoil of the King of Nine Mountains has been calmed down, and Mr. Duan might as well tell Master Fu the good news." ”

"Li Gongzi is really capable, more than 100,000 thieves have been wiped out in just a few months, and the reward of the imperial court has just come down, it seems that Li Gongzi is going to be added to the official title again, congratulations to Li Gongzi. Duan Wenruo said.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "Although the turmoil of Li Liangjin, the king of Jiushan, has subsided, but I have seen the weakness of the Great Song Kingdom

Is there something coming out?"

Duan Wenruo smiled embarrassedly: "The lower officials only know how to be loyal to their duties, how can the general trend of the world be clear." ”

"Why should Mr. Duan pretend to be confused, although I can level the King of the Nine Mountains, but if the building is about to fall, I can't do anything, after all, the reincarnation of dynasties is a law, and there is no dynasty in the world. Li Xiuyuan said seriously.

"In that case, why can't Li Gongzi be the one who saves the sky?" Duan Wenruo said.

"The sky is going to fall, how can I save it alone, I hope this kind of turmoil will happen less in the future. Li Xiuyuan said with emotion.

Duan Wenruo also nodded in agreement.

Of course, he saw the decline of the Great Song Kingdom, and a mere Li Liangjin could develop to the point of more than 100,000 horses, and the problems contained in it were so big that he didn't even dare to imagine it.

"General, general, something is wrong, the two envoys in the government office don't know what is going on, they suddenly went crazy and called for help, this matter is very important, the small ones dare not make claims, and they are here to report. The official who had left before suddenly ran back in a panic.

"Huh?"

Li Xiuyuan frowned: "How could this be the case with a good person?

"No, no, there are generals' armor guards inside and outside the government office, and no one dares to attack the court envoys. The official said immediately.

"Is this happening today?" Li Xiuyuan asked again.

The official hesitated for a moment and said, "One of the brothers in the government office said that such a strange thing happened last night, but it was fine again in the morning. ”

"Yes, it may be that they are sick, but since these two envoys are sick, I will go and see for myself, otherwise I will think that I killed them again. Li Xiuyuan thought of the death of the previous Yang envoy.

Killing an envoy Yang who surrendered in Kaesong may not say anything more to the imperial court, after all, he is a meritorious man.

If these two envoys died in the yamen, then he might have to be labeled as a rebel.

This is something he doesn't want to see.

With a few servants, the soldiers said goodbye to Duan Wenruo and Ning Caichen, and walked towards the government office.

"Giggles, why should Li Gongzi care about the life and death of those two envoys, until the slave family has been waiting for Gongzi here for a long time, does Gongzi plan to leave the slave family here all the time?" Suddenly, just when he just walked into the government office, a charming and sweet voice suddenly remembered.

"Who is it?" The armor soldiers on the left and right immediately drew their swords and glared, vigilantly looking around.

Li Xiuyuan's eyes flashed with golden light, and he waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, it's my family." ”

At the corner of the garden in front, a woman wearing a red Luo skirt, with a bewitching posture and charming eyes, walked out with a slender waist and a smile, and a fluffy fox tail swayed happily behind her.

This is Qing'e's sister, the third sister of the fox.

"The third sister hasn't seen her for a while, why did she appear in the government office? Could it be that the third sister played tricks on those two imperial court envoys, so she made such a thing?" asked Li Xiuyuan.

The third sister of the fox looked heartbroken and said: "How can the son slander the innocence of the slave family, what kind of son is the heart of the slave family, but he knows it clearly, how dare he make trouble for the son." ”

"What's the reason for that?" Li Xiuyuan asked again.

The third sister of the fox pursed her lips and smiled with a bit of mystery: "If you come to the slave house, I will tell you." ”

"Don't lie to me. Li Xiuyuan walked over and said.

"No, how dare the slave family lie to you. The third sister of the fox said: "You come here, the slave family only said to you alone." ”

"Okay, I'll listen. Li Xiuyuan leaned over, looking at the third fox sister who was close at hand in front of him, he could even clearly smell the faint fragrance coming from the bewitching fox girl in front of him.

It's like a good wine, and it's intoxicating.

The third sister of the fox stood on tiptoe with a bit of coquettishness, attached to Li Xiuyuan's ear, and said with Fang Lan: "The slave family saw the ups and downs of demonic qi in the government office, so they have been staying in the government office to watch the two monsters for the son, those two envoys from the court are not people at all, and the son will have to be careful later."

Make move. ”

"Well? And that kind of thing. Li Xiuyuan suddenly frowned deeply.

Have all the envoys of the court become goblins?

What the hell is going on in this capital?

"Since you are a demon, why do you shout for help, is it that you want to kill them?" Li Xiuyuan asked again.

The third sister of the fox pursed her lips and said: "The slave family is just lazy, took a nap, and caught a rooster in your house to guard the slave family all night, who knew that the rooster was about to rush in and peck when he saw the two court envoys, so the two court envoys kept shouting for help, and the slave family hurriedly put the big one."

The rooster was gone, and who knows what happened today, and the big rooster ran back. ”

"I don't have chickens in my house, there are a lot of ghosts and gods, where did you catch the rooster?" Li Xiuyuan said.

The third sister of the fox smiled coquettishly: "Why not, is that particularly big rooster so difficult that the son has forgotten?"

Being reminded by this, Li Xiuyuan immediately remembered.

His face darkened: "That's not an attack, that's Lei Gong, what are you doing with it, be careful when Lei Gong splits you with more thunder." ”

"What are you afraid of, how could a son be hacked to death in the slave family, and the son was ruthless to see the slave family die under the thunderstorm?" The third sister of the fox looked pitiful again, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she was pitiful.

The corners of Li Xiuyuan's mouth twitched: "I won't talk to you, I'll go and meet those two envoys for a while." ”

"The slave family also went with him. The third sister of the fox changed her demeanor, and she looked like a girl full of joy, following Li Xiuyuan's side.
