"Brother Kang, why did the state city suddenly become grim?" Zhu Houlie stepped into a house with doubts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When the soul returned to the body, Zhu Houlie sensed a trace of danger, so he quickly moved away from the place of right and wrong, and after slightly recuperating himself and recovering his soul, he ran to the nearest town to this mountainous area, which is also a state city under the jurisdiction of Lingnan Dao.

The five levels of administrative divisions of provinces, prefectures, counties, prefectures, and counties are divided into five levels of administrative regions, which manage tens of billions of people in the world, and the scope and population of the area under the jurisdiction of a state are no worse than that of a vassal state, but because the vassal state has a vassal king and is quite independent, its political status is a little higher than that of a large state.

Zhu Houlie's current state is Guangwei Prefecture, which is a small state in Lingnan Province, but it also has a population of 20 or 30 million.

"Brother Zhu, don't you know what happened last night?"

"Brother Kang, you don't know that I have been practicing in retreat outside the city during this time, and I am not an immortal, how can I know what is happening in the city. Although Zhu Houlie already had a little understanding in his heart, in order to avoid making people suspicious, he pretended to be at a loss.

Brother Kang, Kang Guangnan, a monk in his forties, but he belongs to the lay people who practice at home, and he is a fellow Taoist whom Zhu Houlie met when he came to Guangweizhou, so he can be regarded as a good talker.

"Look at my memory!" Kang Guangnan patted his head and blamed himself, "Something happened last night, and something big happened!"

"What's wrong?" Zhu Houlie asked knowingly.

Kang Guangnan welcomed Zhu Houlie in and explained to him what happened last night: "The Tongming Sword Sect had an assassin last night!"

"Tongming Sword Sect?!" Zhu Houlie said clearly in his heart, "It seems that those five dead unlucky ghosts are all elites of the Tongming Sword Sect." ”

"But what does the assassination of the Tongming Sword Sect have to do with Guangwei City, the station of their Sword Sect is not in the city, but on a hill fifteen miles away from the state city. Zhu Houlie asked.

The two came to the living room, the servant with strong eyes had already sent tea and cakes, Kang Guangnan signaled to Zhu Houlie, and then explained: "Brother Zhu, you don't know the situation in our Guangwei Prefecture, the Tongming Sword Sect is the largest faction in the local area, with hundreds of inner disciples and countless outer disciples, and they are all figures with heads and faces in all the county governments of Guangwei Prefecture. ”

"This time it was none other than Zhao Yunyang, the head of the Tongming Sword Sect, who was assassinated. Zhao Zhenren is a well-known grandmaster in the rivers and lakes, as soon as he has an accident, the entire Tongming Sword Sect will naturally jump and jump, and of course our Guangwei Prefecture will also be affected. Kang Guangnan sighed.

Although he doesn't practice martial arts, he only cultivates the Tao, but he has not yet reached the point of being a free immortal, and he still needs to roll in this red dust to make a living, so he has a great feeling for the power of the Tongming Sword Sect in Guangwei Prefecture.

"The head of the Tongming Sword Sect was assassinated, and the assassin must also be a great martial arts master. The soldiers outside the city gate and the catchers in the city are patrolling around, making the whole Guangwei Prefecture jump!" Zhu Houlie said with a hint of displeasure.

As a child of the royal family, of course he wanted to see the majesty of the imperial court and the official mansion, rather than the martial arts cultivation sect acting as a prestige in the official mansion. If the leader of the Imperial Spirit Sect outside Xing'an City is assassinated, and the elder disciples of the Imperial Spirit Sect make the entire Xing'an City chaotic, I am afraid that his father King An will directly send an elite army to slaughter the Imperial Spirit Sect.

"Brother Zhu, you don't know anything, our Guangwei Prefecture's commander Luo Zhao is an outer disciple of the Tongming Sword Sect, this time the sect leader has an accident, of course he has to hurriedly show his loyalty!" Kang Guangnan said sarcastically.

All the sects of Daqian like to divide their disciples into inner and outer disciples, and the inner disciples are inherited by the sect, and their qualifications and comprehension abilities are much higher than ordinary people. The outer disciples, although they may not have learned profoundly, most of them manage the money, food, and financial resources of the sect. Many of the great sects influenced the local situation through the network of outer disciples, and became the invisible emperor of one state and one county, and sometimes it was more useful to speak than the local government.

"All commanders?" Zhu Houlie shook his head and said helplessly, "Such an important position is all from the Tongming Sword Sect, and this Tongming Sword Sect is really big and deep-rooted in Guangwei Prefecture!"

The commander of the capital, Zheng Sanpin, is the supreme commander of the local troops in the state within the Great Qian, although his status is lower than that of the Sanpin military post in the border town, but he is also an important member of the party.

Compared with the frontier generals in the border towns who are threatened with sacrifice anytime and anywhere, the local military attachés of Daqian are really fat. Zhu Houlie did not expect that the influence of the Tongming Sword Sect in Guangwei Prefecture was so great, and the commanders and envoys of a prefecture were all subject to their dispatch, while the military attachés from the sect openly sought personal interests for the sect. This is the exact opposite of the situation in Angola and is a bit unbelievable.

"Isn't it?" Kang Guangnan said, "The commander of the envoy is on an equal footing with the history of the state assassins, and as soon as he speaks, how dare the government officials of the state city not take action and let those officials arrest and cooperate with the action." ”

Kang Guangnan's words made Zhu Houlie fall into deep thought, during the two generations of Daqian Taizu Taizong, although the disciples and elders of many sects served in Daqian, none of them dared to openly use the state's sharp weapons to do things for the sect. Because as a result of this, the whole sect is often surrounded and suppressed, the men are either killed or exiled, and the women are all put into the church and reduced to lowly status.

But after a few hundred years, the entire national environment has changed, and for various reasons, the control of the local level by the top level of the state is getting smaller and smaller. Although this has promoted local prosperity, the corresponding local forces have become bigger, and the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods have all escaped.

Zhu Houlie believed that a situation like the Tongming Sword Sect was by no means a special case within the Great Cadres, and even the further the situation went inside, the deeper it became. Because it is far away from war and danger, and after a long period of peace, all kinds of contradictions and demands have come out, and no one can really explain whether this situation is a good thing or not.

"By the way, Brother Kang, do you know Tianxing Tower?" Zhu Houlie pressed the previous question into his heart, and remembered the token he had taken out from the black-clothed Great Grandmaster.

"Brother Zhu, have you met someone from Tianxing Tower!?" Kang Guangnan suddenly asked nervously.

"Why is Tianxing Tower terrifying?" Zhu Houlie saw him like this, and felt that he was asking the right question.

"Brother Zhu, you don't walk the rivers and lakes much, of course you don't know the horror of Tianxing Tower. Kang Guangnan sighed.

Kang Guangnan still has some guesses about Zhu Houlie's identity, although Zhu Houlie did not say it explicitly, but just by his temperament and behavior, he understands that Zhu Houlie is a genius disciple who has been in a big force since he was a child and has no experience in the rivers and lakes.

"I want to hear about it!" Zhu Houlie asked.
