Chapter 349: Shu County Taishou
Hearing this, Xue looked at Qing Gan, but the other party said: "The affairs in the door are handled by you, I don't interfere, you are already an elder of the Quentang Hall, don't look for me for this kind of thing??? ? Huo Ran ?Wen ?? ??? .?r?a?n?? e?n`org”
Ting Xue said: "The stakes are very high, and I am afraid that this matter will have to be asked by the master." ”
Qing Gan said: "The head of the sect is patrolling Bashu Prefecture at this time to prevent the ten evils of the bandits, where can I have time to deal with this matter?"
Listening to Xue pondered for a while, looked at the clouds and said, "I think it's better to let a few Daoists be guests in the Sword Peak now, and my faction also needs your help." ”
Listening to Xue don't talk about how to deal with Xingluan, because this kind of thing is indeed not something she can decide alone, but at the moment, there is no need to provoke the old things and make people panic, the Seven Star Sword Sect needs Yunxiao's help, and depending on the situation, he and Xingluan are obviously close, and this matter needs to be handled carefully.
And what is special is that this matter was originally mentioned by Qing Gan, if he hadn't seen the relationship between Xingluan and Lu Sanniang, it would have been impossible for Tingxue to find out the inside story, and the words and deeds of the earth immortal masters would never be untargeted, and the deep meaning behind this needs to be understood by the Seven Star Sword Sect and Yunxiao and others.
Since then, everyone no longer bothered Qinggan to break the Qing cultivation, and after getting off the Juejian Ping, Tingxue arranged them in a small courtyard very close to the quenching hall, and there would be no sword sect to disturb them on weekdays.
In the following days, the busiest thing was not Yunxiao, but Yunji, and the words on the Juejian Ping made Tingxue know that this person had far-reaching wisdom, and compared to Yunxiao's unintentional mundane affairs, Yunji was more enthusiastic and made friends with his colleagues from all factions.
Especially in the eyes of the younger disciples of the Seven Star Sword Sect, whether it is Qi Dezhong or Yunxiao, they are more like the senior masters who are high up, and their legends circulating on the rivers and lakes are bizarre and changeable, as if they are out of reach.
And Yun Ji is different, Yun Ji treats people and things calmly, is respectful in words and deeds, and does not hesitate to dial the younger disciples, recently the Seven Star Sword Sect needs to step up the refining of a batch of sword talismans in order to deal with the ten evils of the bandits, Yun Ji is also quite proficient in this, and from time to time he gives guidance, and soon gets the respect of the Sword Sect.
Ten days after the meeting at Juejian Ping, Yun Ji followed Tingxue and the other six disciples of the Seven Star Sword Sect to leave Sharpening Sword Peak and go to Tianfu Rongcheng, the capital of Shu.
Rongcheng was called Jincheng in ancient times, producing Shu brocade, and there are countless people who accumulate great wealth. Bashu has been a land of abundant products since ancient times, no less than the south of the Yangtze River, and the plain is surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has always been a country's financial support.
In the past, the Bashu bandits often collapsed at the touch of a button, and no one thought that it would resurrect now, and it was even more powerful.
As the capital of Shu, Rongcheng has thick walls in the high city, and there are still a lot of treasures and goods left over from the Gan Dynasty in the treasury, coupled with the accumulation of Chu over the years, even if Rongcheng is cut off from the imperial capital, it can still be maintained for a considerable period of time, and it is also the center of gravity of Chu in this place.
Now the governor stationed in Rongcheng is the Taishou of Shu County, named Wu Bian. It is said to be Taishou, but the internal regulations of Chu have other names, but the people of Rongcheng have long been accustomed to this name, so it is logical to call it Shujun Taishou.
Wu Bian himself was born as a scholar in the Gan Dynasty, but in the past, he was just a poor scholar and worked as a scribe in the yamen, so he was very familiar with the situation in Rongcheng. So later, when the Chu army invaded Rongcheng, the old Taishou family hanged themselves, and the Chu army lacked people who understood the situation in Rongcheng, so Wu Bian temporarily served as the Taishou of Shu County.
This is nearly ten years, and the temporary deputy of that year has become a formal appointment, and Wu Bian has also become a member of the party, which is an achievement that he never dared to imagine in the past.
Wu Bian was also conscientious in the position of the Taishou of Shu County, adhering to the prudence of serving as a scribe in the past, and had quite a lot of political achievements on the way to help the people, and the area of Shu County soon recovered its prosperity before the war, until this time before the comeback of the bandits.
The people of Bashu suffered from the bandits, Wu Bian had written to the Emperor of Chu that year, thinking that the bandits in full swing could not disappear out of thin air, hoping that the Emperor Chu would send troops to search the mountains of Shu, on the other hand, it was also for the future to dig the road into the mountains for investigation, turning the road through Tianshu into the world, which was also Wu Bian's ideal.
It's a pity that several confrontations with the Heavenly King Sect and Jiangnan later delayed Wu Bian's proposal, and today the bandits broke out, and all parties looked back, and only then did they understand Wu Bian's good intentions.
And even if there are powerful evil demons in the bandits, but under the guidance of Wu Bian, the Rongcheng area of Shu County quickly organized the power of self-protection and gathered most of the people into Rongcheng, and many cultivators gathered here to lay down various magic circles to prevent the bandits from attacking.
But the millions of people in Shu County, it is impossible to be all contained in Rongcheng, there are still many people in various villages, many innocent people were slaughtered by the fierce bandits, according to the news sent back by the scouts, there are also monsters in strange shapes among the bandits, and ordinary soldiers cannot compete at all, let alone train the people.
Wu Bian asked for help from the imperial capital, but he also knew that the reinforcements could not arrive in a short time and a half, and the situation of his realization of the current imperial capital was probably even less optimistic than that of Rongcheng, because the main force of the bandits was gathering more and more and was slowly approaching Yuba Mountain City. As for those cultivators who flew in the sky, they didn't know how many times they had fought for a long time.
Wu Bian knew the strategy of the Chu State, and those who followed the emperor's uprising had no respect for the vast majority of cultivators, and Wu Bian had also heard of their wanton murder of the cultivation sect. Faced with the current predicament, Wu Bian couldn't help but speculate that if it weren't for the actions of the Chu State at the beginning of the uprising, there would be cultivators who would come to stop the offensive of the bandits.
Wu Bian, who was sitting behind the bookcase late at night, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, although there were really these flying cultivators in the world, he had no ability to mobilize and command these people, and even the generals and officials in Chu who had the power to cultivate were actually not in the same league as Wu Bian and other secular officials.
Even Wu Bian himself felt that maybe one day the war would end and the governance of Rongcheng would be stable, and he would probably not be able to sit in this position for long, and those masters of cultivation would be able to kick themselves away with one kick, and the fruits of their hard work for many years would be easily picked by them, and it would be good to be able to save their lives at that time.
Sighing at the shadow, Wu Bian looked at the Rushan case, and suddenly had a strong sense of powerlessness, he suddenly felt that he was still just the little scribe back then, and the position of the feudal lord may have nothing to do with him.
The night was deep, and a footstep sounded suddenly, not far in front of Wu Bian, a calm voice asked: "Lord Wu, why do you sigh when you work hard late at night?" (To be continued. )
