County government
There was a locust tree in the county government office, which provided a shade. Ren Wei took a deep breath as soon as he entered the door. He went inside and looked around quietly. He saw that Pei Ziyun was dressed very leisurely and just smiled: "It's so hot, so here we come again." , it’s really hard work.”
Ren Wei bowed and said, "It's not hard, my lord, it's a letter from my family."
Speaking of handing over a letter from home, Pei Ziyun reached out to take it and read it. The handwriting was beautiful and had a faint scent of ink.
"My son, everything is well at home."
These were the words of his mother. The envelope contained trivial details about the family. Pei Ziyun suddenly said "Hey": "Liao Qingye has reached the second level of foundation laying in a short time?"
Needless to say, it is the power of dragon vein.
After reading all the way, Ye Suer's conclusion came at the end: "My husband, I am fine at home, but I miss you a little."
After reading, Pei Ziyun sighed deeply and said, "I'm so busy with everything, it's rare to have any free time. Mr. Ren, how is the situation on Liujin Island?"
"I was about to report to my lord that according to my lord's plan, the first phase of the project is mainly about the city hall, docks, and paddy fields. It will deal with management and agriculture."
"The second phase of the project has started, focusing on the roads between each other, as well as the terraces, sugar cane fields, and workshops."
"The salt fields are also under construction, and the first batch of salt is expected to be harvested before September."
"According to the instructions of the lord, we will not compete with the official for market salt, but make all the salt into snow salt and sell it like snow sugar. This way, the profit will be high and the conflict will be less."
"My Lord, all the construction will be completed before the end of this year, and the net profit will be from next year." With that, Ren Wei approached and whispered: "It's just that there has been some unrest on the island recently. We have captured a spy. This is Miss He's Letter, order me to deliver it to the Lord with my own hands.”
Pei Ziyun took it and looked at it, looked up into the distance, and pondered for a long time: "The Sixth Department of the Imperial Court's Daolu Department?"
Thoughts were rolling in my heart, seemingly deep in thought, but I shouted in my heart: "System!"
A plum appeared in front of me, and it quickly enlarged into a translucent data frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light, and the data appeared in front of my eyes.
"Yin Shen: Ninth Level (55.2%)"
De Feng Zhenjun rose by 30%, and it has risen a little more during this period, but it is still less than half of perfection. In fact, from the perspective of the imperial court, monitoring dangerous forces is a matter of course.
But from the perspective of a Taoist, it was unbearable. It was just a matter of not reaching the Earth Immortal, and it was almost impossible to play fish to death. As he was deep in thought, a report came from the door: "Zhenjun, there is news from the court."
Pei Ziyun calmed down and said, "Come in."
A Taoist official came in, took one look at Ren Wei, and reported: "Zhenjun, there was an emergency report from the front line just now, Hanzhong has been captured."
After hearing this, Pei Ziyun kept his expression calm and hurried to the map to look at it. His expression was solemn and he sighed: "When Hanzhong falls, things are urgent!"
After saying that, he waved the Taoist official to leave. When he saw this person leaving, Pei Ziyun stopped and asked, "Mr. Ren, what do you think?"
Ren Wei frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Once Hanzhong is lost, King Lu will be like a chess player. I think Uncle Zhongqin will have to fight to the death."
Pei Ziyun was deeply moved after hearing this, and said slowly: "Indeed, Uncle Zhongqin seemed to have everything going well before, but in fact he made a strategic mistake. Unknowingly, he was in danger. At this point, if there is another situation, If you make mistakes or omissions, I’m afraid it will be difficult to achieve good results.”
Even at this time, Pei Ziyun refused to say anything more. Someone just sent a letter. After reading it, Pei Ziyun changed the subject and said to the messenger: "I know, I'll meet you at Qilin Taoist Temple!"
Qilin Taoist Temple
The Taoist temple is simple and simple. There is a lot of moss growing on the wall, which is green. There are several peach trees planted inside, with luxuriant branches and fist-sized peaches hanging all over the branches. Some wind blows and the greenery falls.
In the Taoist temple, Taoists were busy, cleaning and carrying fruit plates. Outside the Taoist temple, there were armored soldiers, all expressionless, wearing light armor, standing with swords in their hands, their eyes cold.
There is a sentry post farther away to check and retrieve traffic at any time.
An ox cart gradually approached, and someone came forward: "Stop, the imperial envoy is inspecting, no passage is allowed, please take a detour."
As soon as the curtain of the oxcart opened, a Taoist with a pale face got out of the car, followed by several people. One of them handed over the invitation: "My uncle is the person Pei Zhenjun is waiting for. I believe you have also received the arrangement."
Hearing this, Captain Jiabing took the post, checked it, and said: "Taoist Master, the imperial envoy has an order. Cars are not allowed. Please go on foot."
"If you have any weapons, please hand them over."
Hearing this, the Taoist following him suddenly felt insulted. His expression changed. Just as he was about to speak, the Taoist in the middle waved his hand: "No need to say more, get out of the car."
The group of people untied their swords and went inward. They saw three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, all of which were armored soldiers with swords drawn and vigilant. When they looked around, they saw that there were even crossbowmen high up in the Taoist temple. As long as they gave an order, Immediately a rain of arrows fell.
"Pei Ziyun bullies people too much." A Taoist was indignant. The Taoist in the middle was possessed by the Earth Immortal's clone. His face was a bit gloomy, but he didn't say anything. He felt that the Taoist next to him was really noisy. With a glance, the Taoist was startled and quiet. He stopped and didn't dare to speak.
The armored soldier led him inside and was greeted by Pei Ziyun in the inner courtyard. The Earth Immortal snorted coldly: "Pei Ziyun, is this how you treat guests?"
"Haha" Pei Ziyun smiled after hearing this and invited Xu to step inside: "We are still enemies, no matter how careful we are, we can't be too careful."
"You are an earthly immortal who can take on human form. Although it won't last long, you can lose one of your bodies in exchange for my life. I think it's a good deal for everyone."
The Taoists around were furious, and the Earth Immortal waved his hand and said, "I can understand that you are defensive, but you don't even dare to talk to me at close range, right?"
Pei Ziyun stopped laughing: "That's not enough, Earth Immortal, please!"
In the inner courtyard, there is also a person at every five steps, and a post at ten steps. They are always ready with weapons and are heavily guarded. However, after walking through a few corridors, they saw a pool in the garden, with a water pavilion built in the middle. The stone bridge zigzagged straight through, and in the water pavilion. There was no one around, but fruits and tea were placed on the stone table, as if they were entertaining guests.
The Earth Immortal took a look and saw that the pool was only one foot long, and there were soldiers with crossbows on the shore not far away. He felt secretly shuddered in his heart. He saw Pei Ziyun taking a teapot and pouring tea, and handed it to him: "Please."
The Earth Immortal took it expressionlessly, not afraid of being poisoned. He took a sip and was silent for a moment. He stared at Pei Ziyun and said, "I'm not lying. I just want to ask, is Xie Chengdong a pawn of the imperial court who wants to deal with me, Qi Xuanmen?" ?”
The direct question made Pei Ziyun feel shuddered and happy at the same time. It was obvious that he had combined the information from the previous life and the speculations from this life, but he had hit on some key points and misled the Qi Xuan Sect. Many thoughts emerged in his mind. Yixiao: "I don't know specifically. I only know that Xie Chengdong supports King Lu, and it is related to a mysterious force."
"Our Taoist sect relies on Blessed Land Cave Heaven, but once Blessed Land Cave Heaven is penetrated into Taoism, it will be exclusive to the sect, and it will be useless even if others take it."
"You can smash the blessed land to pieces, but not only will the world be sinned, but the spiritual energy will not die, and a new cave heaven blessed land will be formed in a few years. However, this is a matter of hundreds of years, and the parties involved will definitely not be able to make a profit."
Seeing the Earth Immortal nodding, Pei Ziyun said: "Therefore, although there are competitions among Taoist sects, most of them are limited to the outer sects, and few people will exterminate other Taoist traditions."
"Has the Qi Xuan Sect violated its purpose recently? Not only did it directly intervene in the dragon fight, but it also directly attacked other blessed lands and caves. Don't you have any doubts about these changes?" Pei Ziyun laughed and looked at the Earth Immortal: "If I can really make you I don’t even doubt it, then this power is really terrifying, so I will quit immediately.”
The Earth Immortal had a bad look on his face, and after hearing this he said, "If this really happens, if you want to escape, will you be able to escape?"
But I remembered that Xie Chengdong's original idea was to break up the blessed land and wait for it to be slowly purified. The predecessors will be in the tree and the descendants will enjoy the shade. This seems reasonable, but in fact it is very idealistic, but I actually believed it at the time.
Now it seems that there is indeed something blocking his spiritual sense. Earth Immortal felt a chill in his heart. He was silent for a long time and said: "These have become facts. Since you took the initiative to contact me, you must have some ideas, so just tell me!"
Pei Ziyun leaned forward: "What I want is actually not much. The first is a business relationship, and the second is revenge. Xie Chengdong attacked me repeatedly, and directly intervened in the fight for the dragon. Kill this person, and we will write it off."
After Pei Ziyun finished speaking, he drank the tea in one sip and placed the tea cup on the table.
"Is this a threat?" The Earth Immortal sneered after hearing this: "What if I don't agree?"
"Hmph" Pei Ziyun also snorted coldly, sitting on the stone chair, leaning slightly forward, staring at the Earth Immortal: "That's easy, I can only follow the imperial decree and remove all the Qi Xuan Sect Taoist temples along the way, and then seek a decisive battle with you. "
"Anyway, not only the imperial soldiers died, but thousands of people died. I think it was worth it."
"I just want to see what the power of the Earth Immortal is like. Even if the senior shows his power and kills all of them, I won't suffer any loss."
"I have great merit now. This kind of small setback can save me. Moreover, now that the imperial court is newly established, it is ready to attack Taoists. With this record, maybe the imperial court will change its view. Taoists like us have received favors from our seniors."
As he said that, Pei Ziyun raised his head and laughed. The Earth Immortal was silent for a while, and then he laughed: "You are so courageous and courageous. You are the only one who dares to talk to me like this all these years."
The Earth Immortal stood up as he spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Pei Ziyun put his hand on the sword, and the soldiers around him pulled out their swords.
The Earth Immortal glanced around, then laughed, turned around and stepped out, taking the people with him and walking away on the water.
Watching the Earth Immortal leave, Pei Ziyun's face turned gloomy. This was undoubtedly a straightforward display of strength, just like the last time he showed strength to the eldest princess, only this was more advanced.
Seeing that Pei Ziyun did not give an order, the Earth Immortal and his entourage went outside without any armored soldiers to stop him. The Taoist gritted his teeth angrily and asked the Earth Immortal in a low voice: "Grandmaster, why didn't you take action just now? If Pei Ziyun doesn't kill him, he will definitely succeed in the future. We pray for the great enemy of Xuanmen."
"I'm not sure." Earth Immortal said with a gloomy face, "I also wanted to take this opportunity to consume this body and kill this person in one fell swoop."
"Not to mention this person's own martial arts and Taoism, the preparations alone are very thorough. Not only are there soldiers outside, but there is also an ambush in the waterside pavilion. I don't know the specific ambush, but it gives me a threat."
Hearing these words, the Taoist beside him shuddered. What is it that makes the Earth Immortal's clones a threat? Once they take action, the Earth Immortal may be fine, but he will definitely not be able to escape.
"Then Xie Chengdong..." Another Taoist asked. The Earth Immortal listened, but did not speak. He was silent for a moment: "Let's talk about it when we get back."
