General Shu asked in a deep voice: "What does Shu Zhitang want to do? Why do you want to deceive the imperial court to increase troops and food?"

Suo said: "Then you have to ask Lei Tianluo, which is why I am still here." You asked me to investigate two things, the first one, the purpose of Lei Tianluo. The purpose of his coming to Daxing City was to loot grain and grass and provide disaster relief to the west. ”

General Shu frowned and understood: "Disaster relief? This should be something that the imperial court does, what does it have to do with their cultivators!"

Suo Ming smiled: "Didn't you do it? So they couldn't stand it, so they came to do it." However, they don't have so much food, so they can only fight the idea of grain and grass in the imperial court. ”

General Shu finally understood, but he was very unhappy and said: "The dog takes the mouse and meddles in his affairs!" Shu Zhitang is too stupid, and when the disaster relief in the west is over, the power of the rebels will increase greatly. Not to mention one general's mansion, ten of them can't cope with it! Why doesn't he think about it, disaster relief means that our Shu family is finished!"

Suo Ming said: "According to my investigation, your son did not think about it, but made a decision after careful consideration. Because no matter whether this thing succeeds or fails, in the end, your son will go to the Quanqing Taoist sect to learn the arts, and he will no longer care about worldly things. ”

General Shu sat down on the stool weakly and sighed: "Thunder is falling...... You can be regarded as destroying our Shu family!"

"Not really", Suo Ming shook his head and said, "The Shu family is gone, but your son has obtained a place to study the art of the Quanqing Taoist Temple, in my opinion, this deal is still more cost-effective." After all, once you have learned to practice, if you want to live forever, you can continue to practice. If you want to be prosperous and rich, you can naturally come down the mountain and seek fame and fortune. It's much better than being a little general for the rest of your life and seeing the faces of others. ”

"Hmph!" General Shu snorted coldly and said, "Where is it so simple in the world?"

Suo Ming smiled and said: "Why can't it be so simple? General Shu, Gonggong Li, the eunuch who has no descendants and grandchildren has arrived at the General's Mansion, you, the mighty general who fought on the battlefield, must also grovel and bow your eyebrows. And what about him Lei Tianluo? He was just a disciple of the Quanqing Taoist Temple, but he didn't agree with Gonggong Li, so he slapped him to death with one palm. General, think about it yourself, the life of a general in the world, or the life of a disciple in the cultivation world, which is more casual?"

General Shu was silent for a long time and said, "What about the second thing?"

Suo said: "The Qi Gathering Orb was taken away by a woman. It was one of the subordinates of the wine and meat monk, the woman with a scar on her face. I don't know if you've heard of Wanshou Palace, haven't you heard of it? That's right. That woman should be a person from Wanshou Palace. This sect of cultivation is one of the most mysterious in the cultivation world. So the things were taken away by her, and the general you just accepted your fate. Anyway, General, did you offend the cultivators in your last life? Why are there a bunch of cultivators who come to trouble you all your life?"

General Shu was distraught, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "Why don't you help me when you see these things? You took my money......

Suo Ming shook his finger and said, "You didn't give enough money, the key is." However, even if you have enough money, it will not be my turn to take over the matter of the Qi Gathering Orb. Because that scar girl has long been on the tracking list of our bounty building. If you trouble her, someone else will be responsible. ”

General Shu said, "What about Lei Tianluo? is it because he is a cultivator?"

"That's right, just because he's a cultivator. But it's not just that, these days when you are in a coma, there is another master by his side, and his cultivation will not be lower than the fifth grade. To tell the truth, Lei Tianluo, Fu Yuan, and Fanzheng plus a newcomer, these people are all fourth-grade and fifth-grade cultivators, what should you do if you let me be alone? I can risk my death to find out this, it's already very good. ”

General Shu sighed again and said, "So what's going on now?"

"Now, the grain and grass of the imperial court are already on the way, and I am afraid that it will only take a few days to reach Daxing City. At that time, the grain and grass will reach the western region unimpeded for disaster relief. Then they continue to act, continue to cheat on grain and grass, and the cycle repeats. ”

General Shu's whole body relaxed, and he seemed to be more than ten years old in the blink of an eye. kept shaking his head and said: "That's it, the Shu family has been majestic for so many years, and if you lose, you will be defeated." As for the Qi Gathering Orb, if you lose it, you lose it. I'm afraid that even if the Shu family has the Qi Gathering Orb, they will no longer be able to restore their former glory. His Majesty has already suspected the Shu family, although Zhitang is selfish, but it is okay to have this decision. ”

As he spoke, he asked Suo Ming to find pen and ink, wrote for a while, and said, "You take this to the Imperial City's Daqian Village to get money." ”

Suo Ming took it with satisfaction, and then said, "A little more?" ”

General Shu said: "If you have more, I want to inquire about the news with you." ”

"What's the news?"

General Shu said: "What kind of longevity palace are you talking about, where is it?"

Suo Ming was puzzled: "Could it be that the general wants to go and snatch the Qi Gathering Orb back?" General, the Shu family is no good, why do you need such a thing?"

General Shu said: "Whether it is in the secular world or in the cultivation sect, if you don't have the ability, I'm afraid it won't end well." The Shu family doesn't need this thing, it doesn't mean that Zhitang doesn't need it. I only know the surface of my cultivation, but I also know that the Qi Gathering Orb is beneficial to my cultivation. If Zhitang goes to the Quanqing Taoist Temple, with the assistance of the Qi Gathering Orb, he should progress faster. It's better than nothing, I've always owed him too much, and if I can pay some back, I'll pay some back. ”

"General, I don't think you can snatch the Qi Gathering Orb from the Wanshou Palace. ”

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven. ”

......

The situation in Daxing City has stabilized, Lei Tianluo confirmed some details of grain distribution with Fu Shen, and finally said: "I don't know when the grain and grass will arrive, so don't have anything wrong in the middle." ”

Fu Shen said: "What went wrong? That's impossible." Why do you think I took the risk to make money in the Quanqing Taoist temple in the first place? The money I earned was not enough to buy grain and grass, and it was used to bribe those greedy officials. When the money is enough, I let them carry the food wherever they want. I let them sleep whenever they want. It is difficult to rob grain and grass, but it is really not difficult to buy people's hearts with money. ”

While the two were talking, Shu Zhitang hurriedly ran in and shouted, "Master, the grain and grass have arrived!"

Lei Tianluo was stunned: "This is much earlier than the scheduled time, senior brother, it seems that your money has played a great role." ”

Fu Shen laughed and went out with Lei Tianluo.

Brahma put his hands together behind his back and said, "Amitabha, the west is finally saved." ”
