Friends are not injured and are people of the imperial court. If you want to ask Xin to be rich, you must know that Zhou Bao has already attracted the attention of the imperial court in throwing out and deleting it, and he took away the pure yang magic weapon of Yan Fei, the prince of Xining, which indirectly cut the face of the imperial court. Naturally, the imperial court will not completely ignore it, but these are not reflected in the holy decree, and the holy decree is mostly comforting words, praising Zhou Bao, the lord, for doing a good job, and setting a good example for all the newly divided lords of the Great Jin Dynasty, and taking a good start. I hope that Zhou Bao will continue to make persistent efforts and continue to contribute to the prosperity of the Great Jin Dynasty, and in the end, he can't forget to reward Zhou Bao with 10,000 taels of gold, and he also gave him the false title of general.

As for other things, it was naturally Zhou Bao and Nie Wuxian who talked about it in private.

"Lord Zhou, General Zhou, Your Majesty and the imperial court attach great importance to you!"

Compared with Yun Peng's wealthy business style, this Nie Wuxian is a typical old oilman in officialdom, who does not smile at his skin, and is also defined by Zhou Bao as the most troublesome person.

It's not hard to deal with, it's troublesome.

This kind of person, Zhou Bao has seen a lot in his previous life, he is completely a real villain, he will repay him, he can hate you for a hundred years for a small thing, and he retaliates against others, his methods are vicious, without the slightest humanity, and the most important thing is that Zhou Bao feels that the most troublesome thing is that such people like to do typical things that harm others and are not beneficial to themselves.

Doing things harms others and benefits oneself. That shows that he still has scruples in his heart, and he still thinks about himself, and doing things to harm others and not to himself, then it is completely a matter of heart. And there is no doubt that Nie Wuxian is such a person, although he greets him with a smile now, and when he speaks, he is soft and charming, and even the eunuchs in the palace are not as soft as him, but in Zhou Bao's heart, he is vigilant and abnormal.

"Where is it, Zhou Bao is just a mountain village man, and he has a little luck by chance, where can he be so generous to the emperor and the court?!"

"Your Excellency is humble when you say this, in fact, the emperor and the ministers of the court actually hope that the lord can return to serve in the court. After all. In today's imperial court, there are still very few adults who are as young and powerful as adults!"

"!" Zhou Bao scolded secretly in his heart, wanting to return to the court to serve and return the ministers, I'm afraid it's just the emperor's idea alone, as for those ministers in the court, in the current situation of the stable situation, they would never want someone like Zhou Bao with a strong background to suddenly step in, they would rather Zhou Bao leave the court, even if it is a rippling of the soil and the king, and stand on his own in the northwest. I don't want him to return to the court and compete with them for the benefits that have already been distributed.

Therefore, for this, Zhou Bao only regarded it as a ghost, and hugged his fists without smiling, "The adults said that they were laughing, I Zhou Bao didn't know a lot of big words." How can I go to the court to do things? Even in this ghost place where birds don't, I also hand over those annoying things to others to do, and I am too lazy to handle them, and even if I do, I don't know what to do.

"My lord is really too humble!" Hearing Zhou Bao belittle himself like this, Nie Wuxian's sun flashed. The evaluation of Zhou Bao is a few points higher, but. But he didn't care, he just smiled indifferently, "The strength of adults is known to the world, and it is obvious to all, not to mention that this remote place in the northwest is more than enough to be the governor of a province in Dajin!"

"Hehe, Master Nie, if you praise Zhou Bao like this again, Zhou Bao won't even be able to eat!" Zhou Bao waved his hand and smiled, thinking in his heart. "What is the governor of one province, even if it is given to me as the governor of ten provinces, I will not go, that province is all the Great Jin Imperial Court, although this northwest land is desolate, it is my own!"

"Zhou Bao, what I said is the truth. But there is one thing, what the adults did, but it made His Majesty a little embarrassed!" Nie Wuxian smiled slightly, showing a panting look, and said with a careful tone, "That Yan Fei is also the prince of Xining no matter what, the royal clan, and the pure yang magic weapon is also given by the imperial court, my lord, you just took him away directly, isn't it a little inappropriate!"

"Hehe, the original scene is this thing!" Zhou Bao smiled slightly, "I don't think there's anything wrong with it!"

Nie Wuxian's expression froze, if someone else spoke like this in front of him, he would already be furious, but in the face of Zhou Bao, he didn't dare, Zhou Bao was notorious, he had also heard of it, not to mention that he was just a six-grade petty official, it was a thousand-year-old family like the Wang family, and he provoked him, and he was not the same as he made a disgrace, this guy was not one of those scholars in the court, he could be reasonable.

It's like he said it himself. is a mountain village man, except for believing in his own brute strength, he doesn't believe in anything, and his methods are extremely fierce, if he really provokes him here, let alone beat himself to death. Even if you make yourself half-paralyzed, it's not worth it, is it?

It's just to announce a decree and test the leopard's attitude towards the court this week, there is no need to be so stiff!

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth twitched and said cautiously, "Oh, there's nothing wrong with that. What do you think?!"

"I don't have any high opinions, I just don't think there's anything wrong with it!" Zhou Bao smiled coldly, "That Yan Fei holds his own clan, there is no one in his eyes, and he pursues and kills Li Xiuwanli, I came forward to persuade him, not only did he not listen, but instead sacrificed the Eight Extremes Exquisite Pagoda, and wanted to kill me together, so domineering, acting like this, if he didn't kill his arrogance, let him continue to hold the Eight Extremes Exquisite Pagoda to do nonsense everywhere, in the future." It's also bad for the imperial court, what do you say?!"

"Reasonable, reasonable!"

Nie Wuxian lightly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, gasped, and secretly sighed in his heart that the current young people are really better than the generation, and those who are not red and heartbeat will be framed in front of them.

Why did Yan Fei want to chase and kill Li Xiu, this matter has already been known all over the world, but when it comes to Zhou Bao's mouth, it has become unreasonable, besides, although Yan Fei is a little arrogant. But I've never heard of anything to be sorry for others, as for arrogance, the young man is ambitious, the family is generous, and his own strength is outstanding, arrogance is a very normal thing, like Zhou Bao is so sleek, but it seems very abnormal.

But it can't be helped. At this point, it is useless to say anything.

So he just smiled awkwardly and ended the conversation between the two parties.

Seeing Nie Wuxian's back disappear, Zhou Bao turned his head and glanced at Jiang Xiao, "It's weird!"

"Weird?" Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, "My lord, what do you mean!"

"Don't you think it's weird? I ran over for no reason just to announce a meaningless holy decree?!" Zhou Bao turned around and walked into the house, saying as he walked, "This holy decree doesn't have any substantive content at all!"

"Didn't he talk to you about anything other than the Holy Decree?!"

Zhou Bao and Nie Wuxian's conversation was secretly conducted in the house, and no third person was present except for the two of them, so Jiang Xiao took it for granted that the conversation between the two was the meat of the show, and he didn't think of it, not even foreplay.

"That's a strange thing. He only ran tens of thousands of miles. Is it just to say a few nonsense words to you, afraid that you will not succeed in the false title of a general?

Listening to Zhou Bao's words, Jiang Xiao also felt strange, "Could it be that there is any conspiracy in this?!"

"Conspiracy, what conspiracy? The strongest of the subordinates he brought is only Wupin, and I can kill all of them with one finger of two hundred guards, he doesn't have the confidence and qualifications to conspire with me, absolutely not!" Zhou Bao shook his head when he thought of the gang of people brought by Nie Wuxian. Denied his speculation.

"Then what is he here for?!" Jiang Xiao tilted his head and thought, "Is he here to test the adult!?"

"Test me, test me what to do?!" Zhou Bao still shook his head. "I'm not a big deal, although I've made a name for myself in the northwest. But compared to the overall situation of the entire imperial court, this is not even a small fight, and in this bitter cold land in the northwest, even if I really have the ability, within thirty years, it is impossible to become a threat to the imperial court, what does he mean by testing me?!"

Jiang Xiao smiled bitterly, "I have a way to figure it out!"

"What's the solution?!"

"Tie him up and extort a confession!"

"Hahahahahaha!" Zhou Bao patted Jiang Xiao's shoulder viciously, "You guy, it's a good idea, but this kind of thing can't be done for the time being!"

"That!"

"Don't worry about it, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will flood the earth. It's good that they have ghosts in their hearts, they have been idle for a long time, and it's good to move their muscles and bones!" Zhou Bao smiled, stretched out his arm, and said with a smile. Suddenly, his brow furrowed. With a puzzled expression, he turned to the outside of the hospital.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

"What's the matter with this kid Zhu Scar, and he's flustered?!" Zhou Bao said dissatisfiedly. Not long after the voice net fell, I saw Zhu Scar slam the door and rush into the courtyard.

"My lord, my lord, something is wrong. Big things are wrong!"

"What's the matter?!" Zhou Bao glared at Zhu Scar dissatisfiedly, and almost kicked him to death.

"My lord, my lord, it's really a big deal, my lord!" Zhu Scar rushed to Zhou Bao. He looked a little incoherent, waving a letter in his hand, "My lord, the old lady has an emergency. Critically ill!"

"What?!" Zhou Bao grabbed the letter and unfolded it.

The old lady is his old man, the old Zhou Tou under the Mangcang Mountain, since his son Zhou Bao has developed, the old Zhou Tou has also become an old man. Then it became the old lady now.

Zhou Bao's affection for the new family in this life is not so strong, but in any case, they are also the biological parents of their new body, and the necessary filial piety must be fulfilled.

What's more, the old Zhou family is really impatient with him. At least he didn't starve to death before he was ten years old.

Therefore, Zhou Bao has always been very generous to the people of the old Zhou family, his parents, and several brothers have arranged it very well, and he is ready to wait until his nest in the northwest is completely built, and then take the Zhou family over.

Unexpectedly, at this time, I heard the bad news of the old lady.

At this time, a man ran in from outside the courtyard out of breath, "My lord, my lord." Oh no, old lady, old lady, old lady is in a hurry, urgent illness!"

Xu was too nervous, too tired to run, and he didn't have any strength, so he hurried all the way down. The body couldn't keep up, and he fell to the ground and fell unconscious.

"My lord, this is a letter, and I am in a hurry. I was afraid that you would delay the matter, so I hurriedly brought the letter over!"

"I know!" Zhou Bao nodded, pointing to the man who fell to the ground, "Carry him to the house." Take care of it, I'll prepare it, and I'll go back to Yunzhou immediately!"

"My lord, should we go too?!"

"Can you keep up with me?!" Zhou Bao glanced at Jiang Xiao and looked at the letter. The old man's condition is really serious, and the date on the letter has passed more than two months.

The Zhou family, except for him Zhou Bao, has no seven-rank powerhouse, and there is no way to command the seven-grade powerhouse, so they can only rely on the primitive method of fast horses and whips to deliver letters, in fact, in this world without telegraph, telephone, and e-mail, the connection between the northwest and the Central Plains is also delayed for three or four months. The letter was delivered in two months, which was already a bit unexpected by Zhou Bao.

No wonder the messenger fainted as soon as he came. That's exhaustion.

Therefore, Zhou Bao made a decision to leave immediately, if he didn't move, maybe when he arrived in Yunzhou, Old Zhou's corpse would stink.

Zhou Bao could think of this, and Jiang Xiao and the others could naturally think of it, so when they saw Zhou Bao turn into a red golden light and disappear into the air, they only sighed softly.

On the other hand, Nie Wuxian and the others, who had returned to their residence, had actually been paying attention to Zhou Bao's side, and when they saw a reddish-gold light rising from Zhou Bao's courtyard, a flash of joy flashed in Nie Wuxian's eyes, and he took out a small cyan wooden block from his sleeve, which looked like a wooden card. With a sharp pinch, the small wooden sign was crushed, turned into a cloud of ashes, and disappeared into the wind.

But Zhou Leopard, rolled up his anger and flew towards the southeast in a hurry, and the speed was amazing, like a red-golden meteor passing through the sky.

At his speed, he flew in a straight line in the air, and it would take nearly eight hours to reach his hometown in Yunzhou, that is, most of the day, depending on his endurance!

Fortunately, Zhou Bao's internal qi is very sufficient. Gang Qi is also a superior Gang Qi, so I flew for three or four hours in a row, and I didn't feel the slightest tiredness.

As he was flying, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. His speed seemed to slow down, and in a blink of an eye, the whole world became gray.

"Huh?!" Zhou Bao was shocked in his heart, and before he could say anything, a wisp of extremely cold killing intent struck from behind him.

"Not good!" Subconsciously, he wanted to launch a small movement of the Three Realms, but he was surprised to find that there was a space around him as if it was locked by an invisible force, and even with his strength, it was difficult to pull out the space.

The previous space was like a fragile piece of paper in front of his Three Realms Shift, but now. But it was a thick wall, although, with a little more effort, he might be able to break it. He didn't have that time, though.

Initiating the Three Realms Minor Shift is only a matter of moments. But after all, it was also delayed for a moment.

That wisp of murderous aura invaded, and it actually broke through his Gang Qi at this moment, his Nine Dragons Divine Fire Qilin Gang!

The Hundred Poison Cold Light Barrier was activated at this moment, and a layer of pale cyan light light shrouded around Zhou Leopard. blocked the murderous aura, so that Zhou Bao finally had a trace of room to react.

Since the small movement of the Three Realms has been restricted, then, let's give it up for the time being.

That wisp of murderous aura passed through Zhou Leopard's hundred poisonous cold light barriers. stabbed Zhou Leopard, but the injury was not serious. It was just a shallow cut in his waist, and a tingling sensation came from his wound, but soon, it was blocked by the cold light of the hundred poisons

The Hundred Poison Cold Light Barrier did not completely prevent this wisp of murderous aura, but it was enough to completely absorb the poison contained in this wisp of murderous aura.

And what's this. At that time, Zhou Bao also saw clearly the person who attacked him.

A masked man dressed in black, a jet-black short sword!

But it's just a glimpse. After a glance, the man in black with the black short sword disappeared all at once, as if Zhou Leopard had launched a small move in the Three Realms.

It's a trap!

Everything happened in an instant, from the appearance of the man in black, to the activation of the hundred poisonous cold light barrier, to Zhou Leopard's injury, and the disappearance of the man in black, all happened in an instant, when Zhou Leopard stabilized his body, his whole body was full of anger, and the man in black had disappeared without a trace. The surroundings were white, which made Zhou Bao feel a little trapped in the Liangyi Dust Array.

Of course, this is by no means a two-dimensional dust array!

"Interesting, it seems that someone wants to set up a game to kill me!" Stopping in mid-air, Zhou Bao looked around. A cold smile flashed across his face. As soon as his body moved, he was about to fall, but unexpectedly, at the moment when he moved, a huge sword qi appeared out of thin air, and a sword shadow condensed under his feet and stabbed straight at his feet.

"Fuck you!" Zhou Bao waved his hand. The Ruyi Golden Scale Stick appeared in his hand and slammed it down.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the sword qi that had already formed was shattered by this stick. But shattering the sword qi does not mean that the trouble is over, on the contrary, it seems that the action of this blow is really a bit big, therefore, after one blow, countless sword qi is generated. Firmly surrounded him from all sides, and the sword qi pierced straight in.

"Sweep in all directions, break it for me!" Zhou Bao let out a low shout, and the Ruyi Golden Scale Stick in his hand swept out, sweeping out in all directions with one move, and the extremely violent stick move shattered all the thousands of sword qi that came from the surrounding area.

This move broke through countless sword qi, but these shattered sword qi were actually recombined, and at the same time, more sword qi was generated out of thin air, and they attacked directly towards Zhou Leopard.

The long stick in Zhou Bao's hand condensed slightly, this time, he was not as rough as just now, but used the stick to protect his body, completely blocking the surrounding sword qi from his body.

"These sword qi are activated with my movements, the bigger my movements, the more powerful the sword qi becomes!"

Blocking all the attacking sword qi outside, Zhou Bao said secretly in his heart.

Compared to the sword that caught him a little off guard at the beginning, this sword qi generated out of thin air was much easier to deal with, because, except for some extremely powerful sword qi, other sword qi could not even break through his protective qi.

Don't move too much, you just need to smash those powerful sword qi, you don't need to care too much!

After experiencing a round of attacks, Zhou Bao somewhat understood the operation and efficacy of the surrounding sword formations, and became cautious when he shot.

He is now caught in a trap that has been deployed a long time ago, although he has absolute confidence in himself, but the necessary caution still needs to be played, it is sudden, he can't kill all sides immediately, he still needs to observe, it takes time.

Sure enough, after going through round after round, almost endless sword qi attacks, Zhou Bao discovered that there was a cat in it, among those sword qi that seemed to be unable to break his gang qi, there would occasionally be one or two extremely sharp sword qi, these sword qi were enough to break through his gang qi, his hundred poisonous cold light barrier. Even his body, these vicious sword qi. is by far the biggest killer copper of this formation.

"It's fun, but it's best not to play this kind of boring trick!" Zhou Bao said, and the Ruyi Golden Scale Stick danced quickly. The main direction of attack is his feet, directly clearing a blank area under his feet, his body fell rapidly, although in this white formation, it is not clear where the face under his feet is, but he only needs to confirm that he is indeed falling, his original flight altitude is only a thousand zhang, this fall, combined with his own speed, it is easy to judge when he can fall to the ground.

However, the ambush man naturally would not let him achieve his goal so easily.

The figure just fell, and the familiar murderous aura appeared again.

"Hmph!" Zhou Bao sneered, and more than a dozen red golden flames poured straight down, leaving almost no space for the other party.

"Huh!", the figure disappeared into the air, and after the fireball shattered several sword qi, it disappeared without a trace.

"Hide your head and show your tail. What kind of thing!" Zhou Leopard missed the blow, his heart was very angry, and he cursed in a low voice, and the Ruyi Golden Scale Stick in his hand suddenly accelerated, and his body was tightly surrounded by the shadow of the stick, and he accelerated to fall.

This time, the other party didn't seem to have the intention of stopping him, except for the frequent fluctuation of Zhou Leopard's sword qi. There were no more anomalies.

It wasn't until Zhou Leopard's feet stepped on the ground that another round of fierce attacks appeared, but this time the attack was not only sword qi, but in the sword qi, there were actually three flying swords.

These three flying swords exuded an incomparably powerful sword aura, blocking the Ruyi Golden Scale Stick in Zhou Leopard's hand, while the rest of the sword qi was attacked by Zhou Leopard.

"It's not out yet, is it?!"

Zhou Bao played a real fire, and he couldn't care about anything. The golden light flashed behind his head, and Jin Xili was sacrificed by him, and a straight golden light went straight towards the three flying swords.

The grade of these three flying swords is not low, but at most they are only a magic weapon at the level of Xuan, how can they compete with a pure yang magic weapon like the Jin Xi Liyan Mirror?

It collapsed at the touch of a button, let out three terrible chirps, and disappeared without a trace.

Jin Xi left the flame mirror with golden light, enveloping Zhou Leopard in it, three green lotuses appeared around Zhou Leopard, catching the attacking sword qi one by one, although the sword qi was fierce, although the number was extremely large, but none of them could hurt Zhou Leopard.

At the same time, Zhou Bao pinched the magic trick in his hand, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, "It's just a sword formation, do you really want to trap me?!"

Clusters of golden lotus-shaped flames flashed out of the golden flame mirror, shooting in all directions, and as this lotus-shaped flame shot out, the vast world around it began to change color.

A sizzling sound like burning meat on fire came, reaching Zhou Bao's ears, and the space in the array was agitated, as if it had been stimulated by something.

"The Great Sun Glazed Flame Flame, damn it, how could he possibly collect the Great Day Glazed Flame ?!"

Seeing the clusters of golden flames released from the Jin Xili Flame Mirror, a deep voice came, but someone couldn't stop screaming in surprise.

"Found you!" Although Zhou Bao released the Jin Xi Flame Mirror, his spiritual sense was still very sensitive, as soon as the voice came out, Zhou Bao judged the other party's square, and the Ruyi Golden Scale Stick in his hand suddenly became longer, and slammed towards the place where the sound came from.
