"There are cultivators?" Liu Tong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "No wonder it can resist the attack of the demon beast." ”

Xu Yin could only see the magic weapons that glowed with brilliance, so she confirmed that there were cultivators, but Luo Jiang's eyesight was stronger than her after all, and she saw more.

Luo Jiang said: "What amazes me is not only that there are cultivators in the city, but also that there is an excellent commander. The demon beasts that attacked the city wall were all mutated from ordinary beasts, and the cultivators' abilities were not strong, but their strength was stronger and their jumps were higher. ”

Everyone else was listening quietly, only listening to Luo Jiang Dao: "There are worldly weapons such as bows and crossbows on the city wall, although a single attack cannot cause damage to demon beasts, but when they are gathered together, they can also cause trouble." The demon beast was hundreds of steps away, and it was constantly blocked by the bow and crossbow, and when it was only a few dozen steps away from the city wall, when it jumped up, the magic weapon shot out, killing with one blow. Look, this blow is even more grasped, the demon beast is in mid-air, and it is directly deflected by the crossbow that has been guarding the city, and the cultivator's magic weapon only plays a role in breaking the defense and killing. This requires a great deal of judgment. ”

Xu Yin and the others listened, but they didn't pay too much attention to it, thinking that this ability to grasp the opportunity was also a layman's method, which was insignificant.

When it was only one mile away from the city wall of Fuhua City, and there were only fifty or sixty demon beasts under the city wall, Zhang Lei asked, "What should we do?"

Luo Jiang said: "It's just a few dozen demon beasts, let's help them kill them, and then enter the city." This is the time to show strength, and the stronger the strength, the higher the courtesy. As for us to enter the city, some of them can't ask for anything. ”

Facing the three-headed demon beast that turned around, Luo Jiang Xuehua Sword swept and immediately cut off the heads of the two demon beasts, seriously injuring the other.

Xu Yin's golden Jiaojiao scissors flew out and cut the two demon beasts in half. The rest of the people each killed a demon beast, and in an instant, twelve demon beasts were killed.

The nine people of Luo Jiang walked leisurely, slowly approaching the city wall, and when they reached the city wall, the demon beast was wiped out. At this moment, the hole in the city gate "squeaked" opened, and nine people walked into the city without stopping.

Luo Jiang held the fan-headed snowflake sword in one hand, walking in the forefront, attracting the most eyes.

On the streets and on both sides of the city wall, countless people exclaimed, "Another immortal chief has entered the city, and we have hope." ”

"Look at the appearance of the immortal elders strolling leisurely, how chic, they are powerful immortal chiefs!"

Luo Jiang turned over his hand and put away the Snow Sword and Ice Fan, and looked at the Fuhua City.

Vanity City is still the same as normal, and it is obvious that the city has not been attacked by demon beasts. It was only when the crowds of the city poured into the streets, with a gloomy look on their faces, that the impact of the disaster could be seen.

Under the watchful eye of everyone, Zhou Shan actually blushed slightly, Luo Jiang patted her shoulder, and couldn't help laughing: "Senior Sister Zhou Shan, when I was in the sect before, I thought I was an ordinary disciple at the bottom, but now in the world, I suddenly became the one standing at the top, is it a little uncomfortable?"

"Uh-huh, uh-huh. Zhou Shan nodded indistently, very cute, "Yes, I almost forgot that even the worst cultivators are ordinary people who are not in a hurry to touch in the world." ”

Luo Jiang nodded, "Senior Sister Zhou Shan, you can slowly adapt to this change." Immediately, Luo Jiang said to Xu Yin beside him: "It seems that everything is normal in Fuhua City, if my guess is right, now the top official of this city has received the news that we have entered the city, and he is about to send someone to come." ”

Sure enough, after less than a quarter of an hour, a clerk wearing a soap-colored official uniform hurriedly came, saw Luo Jiangjiu, bent his waist extremely low, and said respectfully: "A few immortals have worked hard, and the governor asked the villain to take a few to the mansion." ”

Luo Jiang waved his hand, "Lead the way." ”

The employees are all people with flexible eyes and mouths, but in the face of several immortal elders, they don't dare to find a topic to talk to, but they just lead the way.

Luo Jiang tilted his head and explained to the people around him: "The governor is the highest official in Fuhua City. In the official position system of the Great Qinguo, the governor is the minister of military administration and civil affairs who inspects all over the country, and the right deputy of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. ”

Entering the Flashy City, feeling a lot better, Zhou Shan couldn't help but be naughty again, and asked the clerk: "Is what my senior brother said right?"

The clerk hurriedly said: "What this immortal chief said is right, right. My family is a soldier with the rank of squire in the military department, and he is the second grade. ”

Luo Jiang smiled, and when he saw that Zhou Shan wanted to open his mouth, he hurriedly transmitted, "Don't explain my surname." ”

Zhou Shan smiled: "Senior brother, you understand very well." Although we don't care about these official positions, they sound quite majestic. ”

Luo Jiang nodded, "I was the one who wanted to take the top prize in the exam, and now I still have a reputation for showing talent, of course I know something." Ha Lu Ha. ”

While speaking, Luo Jiang and the nine people arrived in front of the mansion under the leadership of the staff. Outside the gate, an official in a purple and red official uniform led a group of officials to greet him. It should be the governor of Fuhua City, this person is a very capable middle-aged man, with a square face and a tough atmosphere, not like a governor who focuses on civil affairs, but like a military attaché.

The official in the purple red official uniform stepped forward and said, "This official's surname is Chen, and he is the governor of Fuhua City, dare to ask the immortal chief what to call him?"

Luo Jiang arched his hand casually, "Zhao." ”

"Immortal Elder Zhao, Immortal Chief, please inside. Governor Chen hurriedly called Luo Jiang and the others away, knowing how happy the Dao Immortal was so happy, only he went in by himself, and the other officials stayed outside.

Walking into the mansion, passing through the garden courtyard, stepping into the main hall, on both sides of the two rows of big chairs and coffee tables, Luo Jiang went to the left and sat down, followed by Xu Yin, Liu Tong, Zhou Shan, Zhang Lei, and Wei Chen. Then the governor went to the master's seat and sat down.

Sitting upright, opposite is the governor of a province, Luo Jiang couldn't help but have a thought in his heart, if he hadn't met Ling in Fawang Temple, and didn't meet Zhong Yan in Nanyang City, I am afraid that he would be famous in the examination, and now he is just a small official of five or six grades.

When he saw a feudal official like the governor, he also had to make a big salute in a proper manner, but now, not only did he sit on an equal footing, but he could also put on an arrogant posture if he wanted to.

Governor Chen was obviously a resolute character, and he went straight to the point, saying: "There are now two teams of immortal leaders in Fuhua City, a total of thirty-five. This official begs all the immortal elders to stay and help the city of Vanity through the difficulties. ”

"Oh, that's a lot. Luo Jiang was surprised, but did not answer Governor Chen's plea.

Governor Chen continued: "Of course, this official will not let the Immortal Chief be busy, and I have also learned from other Immortal Elders that there is no spiritual power in the air, and the Immortal Chief has nowhere to replenish it after consuming spiritual power. ”

"Oh?" but Wei Chen put down the teacup and said, "Listen to what you mean, and pay us." But I really can't think of anything we need in the world? Gold, silver, and jade tablets are still useful in normal times, but at such times, no cultivator cares. ”

Governor Chen smiled, reached into his sleeve, took out a spar, and put it on the table, which immediately made Wei Chen and the others' pupils shrink.

"This kind of spar, the immortal elders call it a spirit stone, right? ”

Governor Chen said: "I can't hide it. There are a lot of these spirit stones in this house, and you can pay spirit stones to hire you. ”

"How many do you have?" Wei Chen blurted out.

Governor Chen did not answer. And Wei Chen was slightly embarrassed, knowing that he was abrupt, Governor Chen's subordinates were all ordinary soldiers, how could he give a number in the face of cultivators? Isn't this obviously for people to rob.

Luo Jiang was also very curious about where Governor Chen got the spirit stone, but he picked up the tea cup on the table and drank it lightly, and did not answer Governor Chen's request or ask.

After all, Governor Chen had received two teams of cultivators, and he also understood that if he didn't tell the source of the spirit stone, I was afraid that the cultivators would be angry. Originally, seeing that the cultivator in front of him was young, he just fooled the past, but he didn't expect that his ability to arouse people's appetite was even higher than those old guys in front of him, so he paused, and had no choice but to speak: "That's the case." There are a few real people enshrined in the court, and it happens that some of this kind of spar can be produced in this city, so they are regularly sent to the capital. Now, naturally, it is used to hire the immortal elders. ”

"Just be able to produce some spars", Governor Chen's words were vague, but Luo Jiang's heart jumped, and he said in his heart, this is the spiritual vein that can be mined!

It's just that when the order is completely broken, the cultivator will not do anything to rob the spirit stone in the face of the world's disapproval, so Governor Chen will say it.

Luo Jiang put down the teacup and said, "Okay, I agreed for the time being." ”

Governor Chen smiled: "It's good that Immortal Zhao agreed." In this way, tomorrow will set up a reception banquet for Zhao Immortal Chief, and then invite all Immortal Chiefs to determine the rules for hiring spirit stones. ”

It stands to reason that after the business is over, Governor Chen will ask someone to arrange for the immortal elders to rest.

Xu Yin and the others were waiting for Luo Jiang to say his farewell, but they heard him suddenly say at the top: "Governor Chen, ask you about someone?"

Governor Chen was stunned for a moment, "Immortal Zhao, please speak." However, he was quite puzzled in his heart, the two did not intersect, who did Zhao Xianchang ask him about?

"Governor Chen, do you know Luo Qinghe?" Luo Jiang asked.

Governor Chen was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Immortal Zhao knows Lord Luo?"

"We had a relationship a few years ago. ”

Luo Jiang waved his hand and said casually. He would not be stupid enough to say that his father was the political envoy of Qingyang, and if he said that Governor Chen and Luo Qinghe were colleagues, he would become a junior.

"Oh, that's right. ”

Governor Chen said: "Although Fuhua City is very far away from the provincial capital of Qingyang, Lord Luo is straight up, and I know the way. Lord Luo is now the governor of Qingyang. ”

"Oh?" Luo Jiang raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, this promotion can be fast enough.

From the second-rank political envoy to the second-rank governor, the official quality seems to have risen by half a grade, but the power has increased more than tenfold.

However, Luo Jiang only needs to confirm that Luo Qinghe is safe and has not been beheaded by the emperor, which is enough.

The governor and the governor seem to be similar and have no direct subordination, but the former has much more power than the latter. Daqin has eighteen provincial cities, and there are eighteen governors, but there are only eight governors.

Each provincial capital has a governor, who is the highest official in charge of the civil affairs of a province. The difference is that the governor can manage several provinces, focusing on military and political affairs, while the governor is in charge of only one province and focuses on civil affairs.
