Turn a beast into a god

Chapter 261
Zhu Boming was dressed in plain clothes. If he hadn't been guarded by the crowd and followed by his wife and children, he would have thought he was a villager or a fisherman.

Although his appearance is mediocre, his speech and behavior are very regular. Compared with Feng Muyang on the other side, Feng Muyang is like a pampered master, but Zhu Boming is like an old man who has been exposed to the sun, just like Huang Shiren and Yang Bailao, the two city lords Their demeanor and dress are really different.

Zhu Boming, whose skin is full of wrinkles, speaks fluently and shows humility, but compared with Feng Muyang, he looks quite honest. In such a comparison, Feng Muyang seems to have sharp teeth and twists and turns.

Compared with Zhu Boming, what was even more surprising was that the person standing behind Zhu Boming was an old acquaintance.

Zhu Hankun, he actually came here too, and it took less than ten days to meet each other in the academy, but now they meet in the southern region.Observing the facial features of Zhu Hankun and Zhu Boming, there are still many similarities, but the skin color and frontal bone do not follow Zhu Boming's, nor do the ears.

Compared with Qiao Bang's slight shock, Zhu Hankun's pupils were shocked at this moment. How could Chopin be here?Isn't he from Galan?
Fortunately, I was still worried about him. A while ago Garland Province was attacked by bandits, and I was still thinking about whether Chopin was in danger, and worried about his safety. As a result, he stood beside General Qiao. Was he actually a relative of General Qiao?
The clown is me?
Qiao Bang originally wanted to go forward and chat with Zhu Hankun to clear up his confusion, but both parties were talking politely, so it would be unwise for him to interrupt rashly.I meditated on the Colter system in my heart, and checked the panel introduction above the heads of everyone who visited.

Right in front is Zhu Boming, behind him is his wife Xu Yuqing, on the left is Zhu Guangning, on the right is Zhu Hankun, and behind them are two powerful men of the Linghuang Realm, namely Bao Chengjing and Deng Shengjie, and behind them are more than a dozen Wuyangyang people. I can't even tell the names, so after a cursory glance, they are all strong in the Spirit King Realm, which is not bad.

"I didn't expect Brother Feng to be here too. This is what the hero sees and agrees with."

"Brother Zhu, where is it? I came here to thank General Qiao for protecting the southern region for many years. I came here to spend the festive season with General Qiao in person. In the future, we will work together to defend against foreign enemies."

"That's right. I've been troubled by trivial matters recently. I sent Cao Yang to discuss with General Qiao. I don't know if Cao Yang didn't convey my meaning accurately, or General Qiao misunderstood me. I was thinking that General Qiao should not continue to misunderstand me. Come to pay a visit in person. I have also prepared some small gifts for this."

After speaking, Zhu Boming lightly raised his right hand, gestured forward twice symbolically, and the eight attendants behind him walked forward, the storage space ring in their hands was full of brilliance, and it was inlaid with emerald green empty rough stones. Cross-section, this is a rare space element spar in the Loulan Dynasty. The medium used to perceive the heart of Xuancang is extremely rare, but it is used to make a space storage tool, which is really a luxury.

In a blink of an eye, the ground is covered with innumerable precious materials. There are soldiers of different varieties, and there are countless spiritual plant seeds. The most exaggerated are the piles of rice ears and the thin cotton clothes that have been woven, which are all over the ground. , extremely exaggerated.

"I went out in a hurry, and I didn't calculate the number. I only know that there are forty soldiers, and two of them are parts of Jia Luo Shengyao's suit, which are shoulder armor and boots. If you break through, you can absorb it. The spiritual plant seeds were collected by soldiers in Yanxia Province a few days ago. I am grateful for the panacea that Cui Quji gave me to prolong my life five years ago, so that my old father lived for three more years. I still hope to accept it, Bixia Villa is definitely needed. As for these grains and cotton clothes, they are produced in surplus in our province. They can be given to the soldiers or the common people. I hope that General Qiao will not blame Cao Cao again. It’s because I’m not polite, I’m being rude.”

Qiao Anguo chuckled, brought out a set of old sayings, tensed his expression, and said something mysterious.

"City Lord Zhu has a heart. This is the second time we have met. The people behind you are your family members. Please forgive me for asking."

"Hey, it's my fault. I was busy apologizing and expressing my attitude, but I forgot to introduce to General Qiao, Manager Yang, and Miracle Doctor Cui. This is my wife Xu Yuqing, this is my dog ​​Zhu Guangning, and this is my youngest son Zhu Hankun. The first one is the newcomer of Shangtianmen, Yu Liqing and Deng Shengjie, accompany me to deal with some trivial matters in Pinglan Province."

When Qiao Anguo heard that he was the one who went to the Heavenly Gate, his eyes narrowed, and he looked up and down at Zhu Boming, Yu Liqing and Deng Shengjie behind him, making a decision in his heart.

Zhu Boming, if he didn't take the initiative to ask, I'm afraid he didn't intend to introduce them one by one. There is something bad in his stomach, or he has evil intentions. It is still unclear whether it will be a blessing or a curse for Nanyu.

Suddenly I felt that Cao Yang was already difficult to deal with, and this City Lord Zhu was even more difficult to deal with. If Cao Yang was a cunning fox, then Zhu Boming would be a wolf with squinting eyes and looking around. A hunter who lays layers of traps.

Qiao Anguo also introduced the soldiers in the army one by one, and at the same time introduced Qiao Bang.Qiao Bang looked at Zhu Hankun's suddenly enlightened expression, and said helplessly in his heart.

What I just find strange is that the Colter system clearly judged that the person who went to Tianmen is called Bao Chengjing, but Zhu Boming called him Yu Liqing just now.

Although he was puzzled, Qiao Bang didn't intend to expose this, but observed silently, thinking about it in his heart.

The Colter system has always identified himself as Li Changle, so the reason why this Yu Liqing has been identified as Bao Chengjing is that he was always called Bao Chengjing before coming here, and later changed his name to Yu Liqing for convenience.As for what he wants to do under the guise of a pseudonym, it is not clear.

Soon everyone came to the hall and sat down at the dining table. Qiao Bang, who had been hungry for a long time, finally looked forward to a place to eat, and sat beside Zhu Hankun at Qiao Bang's request. Qiao Anguo, Yang Chengfu, and Cui Quji Not at the scene, leaving Zuo Renbao, Qiao Min, Qiao Wei and Yang Shuqi sitting in town, chatting awkwardly with the two city lords and their families.Fortunately, Zuo Renbao and Qiao Min are both talkative and quick-witted people, and they are easy to deal with. When they mention sensitive topics in the army, they avoid them lightly. Content, the faces of the three parties were full of smiles, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, they chatted back and forth, but Qiao Wei didn't speak, and sat upright at the dining table, as if this lively scene had nothing to do with him , expressionless, like a pillar.

Zhu Hankun couldn't hide his doubts, and chatted with Qiao Bang early on.The topic of conversation was nothing more than concealing his own background. Qiao Bang explained it succinctly, and then asked Zhu Hankun why he also concealed his own background.Zhu Hankun naturally smiled shyly. After all, he was still a child. He was not as thick-skinned as Qiao Bang. In order to prevent Zhu Hankun from continuing to interrogate, the meaning is very obvious. He didn't treat each other honestly, so why blame the other party for not being honest enough?
After Zhu Hankun was asked rhetorically, the unhappiness in his heart disappeared quickly. On the contrary, he was relieved quickly. He was a little unhappy when he was dragged to the Southern Region by his parents, but he came to a strange environment and cooperated with his parents to meet a group of strange people. Unnatural, and somewhat cautious when getting along with others, Qiao Bang's surname was not Xiao and Qiao, and he could still meet familiar people in this strange area, so Zhu Hankun slowly let go of his heart and chatted with Qiao Bang.Qiao Bang was a little absent-minded, thinking about things in the north, and his mind was in a mess. Hong Tianying led his troops to fight against the ice crystal snow monster.

Qiao Anguo, Yang Chengfu, and Cui Quji arrived late, and everyone got up together. As soon as the three most important people in the Southern Region Legion appeared, the protagonist of the banquet had already appeared. Zhu Boming and Feng Muyang were all concentrated, with smiles on their faces Minus, just stood by the chair, did not go forward to greet him, but Qiao Wei, Qiao Min, Zuo Renbao all came down to greet him.At this moment, the dining table is full of food, which is extremely rich. There are many animals swimming in the sea, flying in the sky, and walking on the ground. They are all made into delicious dishes and placed in front of them, which makes people appetite.Qiao Anguo sat down and took out an exquisite pottery wine bottle. Inside the wine bottle, you can see that the wine inside is the color of ruby. After pouring two glasses out, the fruity aroma immediately overflows, and the aroma permeates the entire hall.

The three of them went to the side hall to find scouts to urgently confirm whether what Feng Muyang said was true. It is too difficult to obtain the latest information about the Jialuo Empire in the southern region where the news is blocked. This is also the biggest leader that the southern region has always wanted to catch. So much so that the number of scouts is the same as that of patrols.Most of the scouts were reduced to paddling and fishing, and there were still too few people like Qiao Min and Qiao Jing who did things in a down-to-earth manner.

Just listening to Feng Muyang's one-sided words, empty words and no evidence to follow, Qiao Anguo will naturally not act blindly, but it is also imminent. If the situation is as Feng Muyang said, he will set off for the northern border at night without eating, drinking or sleeping. It takes three to four days to do it.Qiao Anguo and Yang Chengfu can still vividly remember how difficult it was to fight against the Ice Crystal Snow Demon Clan. At that time, Cui Quji, who met the top iron, went to the mountain to collect medicine. It was a farce. In the concussion, Yang Chengfu invoked the forbidden method to turn the body of the ice crystal snow demon into a spirit corpse to relieve it. In the end, the frost crystal dragon was repelled by the crowd, curled up into a ball and fell asleep, and no matter what the crowd did, they could not kill it. After all the tossing and tossing, they couldn't get anything good, and the Ice Crystal Snow Demon was no longer berserk, so it was considered to have calmed down.

Now Frost Jinglong awakened again, Dan Zong Meng Bugui went on the road that Cui Quji had walked before, everything seems to be reincarnated, but it may not be able to survive the crisis safely.

Although Feng Muyang's words are shocking, Qiao Anguo would rather believe it. He has told the elite of the three battalions of Xunbao, Chasing the Wind, and Quhai to make preparations, and make up 50 people disguised as mountain people, and their cultivation base is at least spiritual. In the King Realm, ten people are required to cultivate in the Spirit Emperor Realm. The troops will be divided into five routes to bypass Garan Province and go to the northern border. People are suspicious.Although it is out of date, the extent of the chaos in the northern border is still unknown. Qiao Anguo's heart is for Ge Jianjun and Hong Tianying, both of whom have followed him for many years; He is not in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect in a different place, so he has to help him no matter what he says; Cui Quji and Meng Bugui once exchanged ideas on reforming Danfang and finding a new way. Now both of them have proved their original speculation through their own efforts. Gui is in a dangerous situation, Cui Quji wants to rescue Meng Bugui, and then he wants to invite him to talk about his gains in recent years, and see if more sparks can be collided.

The delicious wine and delicacies were laid out in front of them, and everyone raised their glasses with gentle smiles on their faces. Seeing Qiao Anguo raised above their heads, everyone dared not neglect, and filled up the wine and held it up to their chests, showing respect.What Qiao Bang and Zhu Hankun drank was just ordinary fruit juice, which tasted very fresh, and it felt refreshing after it flowed into the throat, and an indescribable comfort felt rippling in their bodies.

The dinner officially started. Everyone talked, laughed, ate and drank, as if old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years were reunited, and they seemed so eager. Side seat.

Qiao Anguo said a few polite words and a few false greetings, which made Cao Yang a little flattered. When the conversation came to an end, Cao Yang immediately put on a grievance expression and promised.

"General Qiao, the captain and deputy captain of the personal guards have personally protected my safety these days, and they have worked hard. But I wandered around in the Southern Region Army and did not do anything out of the ordinary. I have always let them follow me, and I am very happy It's awkward, and I don't leave every step of the way when doing convenient things, can you let them stop following me..."

Everyone didn't expect Cao Yang to be so unreasonable on such occasions, and Zhu Boming felt a little unhappy. I came here to repair the relationship between the two parties. Many subsequent plans will not be without the link of General Qiao. It's good for you Well, to use your idea to talk about it on this occasion is nothing more than to let General Qiao stop talking about the meal, so that it is convenient for you.

Qiao Anguo raised his brows lightly, thought for a moment, and slowly said: "You are right, I am concerned about the old man, and I am in a mess. I thought that you would not do anything good or bad in our army, so what will I do to Zhu in the future?" The city lord reported that now the city lord Zhu has arrived in person, so if you think about it, you don't need the protection of the guards, so let's withdraw."

"Yes!"

This sentence was spoken to everyone present, and at the same time, the voice was wrapped in spiritual power and transmitted to the ears of the captain and deputy captain of the personal guards outside the tent. The guards outside the camp suddenly shouted in unison. Zhu Hankun, who was holding the pottery cup, was taken aback.

Cao Yang realized that his words were a bit abrupt. He thought that the atmosphere would be harmonious after three cups of self-punishment, so he said it. He never thought that Qiao Anguo was paying attention, thinking that General Qiao would not pay attention to the daily affairs. Myself, this move must have spoiled the atmosphere... Actually, I don't want to say it, but I have been disturbed by these two people recently, and I have to be looked down upon by them when I go to the toilet, it is simply mindless and unhappy combination.

The smile on Zhu Boming's face froze, and he stood up and apologized in an instant. He excused Cao Yang and pretended to be angry. Sit back in the chair.

How could Zhu Boming not know that these personal guards were supposed to protect them but actually monitored them.

Everyone continued to eat and drink. After drinking for three rounds, seeing that Zhu Boming's wife was already drunk, Qiao Anguo became concerned, raised his eyebrows, and Yang Chengfu noticed him. He filled the wine glass as if nothing had happened, stood up and toasted, and the direction was Deng Shengjie. , Yu Liqing's direction.Deng Shengjie and Yu Liqing didn't react slowly, and quickly got up to pay back.

"I heard that the two are people from Shangtianmen. I don't know where the two are. What's the matter here?"

Deng Shengjie didn't make a sound, as if he had expected this talk a long time ago, Yu Liqing who was beside him was quite discerning, raised his hand and drank it down, and then spoke slowly.

"This is Venerable Wu among the eight gods of Shangtianmen. I am Venerable Wu's deputy. I came here just by chance. After finishing the matter in Pinglan Province, I will go to Wanfeng City of Dinghai Province to investigate a strange matter. I never thought that City Lord Feng would be here, so I saved some things."

"Oh? May I ask why Venerable Wu came all the way from Yongyao to the south? Can you tell me?"

Deng Shengjie signaled Yu Liqing to stop talking, and leaned back in his chair, the old god was talking.

"It's okay, Director Yang is the former suzerain of the Wanshou Sect, so it's normal to want to know the purpose. I Deng Shengjie, the Martial Venerable of the Shangtianmen, is under the command of Wu Shenxiang, and the Shangtianmen ordered me to kill those who were greedy for ink and relief supplies during the flood last year. For this reason, the criminals came to Pinglan Province to arrest officials, large and small, and behead them one by one after the Fenghuo Festival and before the Qing'an Festival. Now the heads of these criminals have been hung above the city gate Go up, for the people to review, and knock on these potential moths by the way, so that they can restrain them somewhat."

"So it turns out that Venerable Wu is an upright person, but the old man underestimated you, so I apologize to you here."

"It doesn't matter, I know how much the outside world looks at Shangtianmen. There are indeed flies, mosquitoes, mice and gulls in Shangtianmen. I don't like to be with those people in my life. Although I follow the orders of my superiors, I still follow my heart's wishes. .”

"Verun Wu is an admirable person. I toast you a toast, just think that I have offended Venerable Wu."

After saying that, Yang Chengfu drank it all in one gulp, he didn't talk too much, and his demeanor could be regarded as neat, without twitching posture, he was extremely bold and unrestrained.

Seeing this, Deng Shengjie also drank the wine in his glass, as if he was bored in his heart, and wanted to use this idea to kill some wine.

"Since Venerable Wu has already rectified Pinglan Province, what are the arrangements for coming to Dinghai Province?"

"Recently, a batch of tributes sent to Yongyao Capital were kidnapped. Although Han Dongsheng was the one who failed to handle the matter, City Lord Feng was also to blame. According to what Han Dongsheng said, he had nothing to do with it. The target of the interception, but its body is intact, only suffered some falls, scratched some skin, and suffered some fright. According to him, either Feng Muyang, the lord of Wanfeng City, that is, you, ordered a group of people Pretending to be a bandit and forcibly looting, or an organization called Guan Hai Zhuang took away supplies under the pretext of robbing the rich and helping the poor, deliberately letting him and his guards flee far away, slandering him, and trapping him in infidelity."

"There is such a thing?" Yang Chengfu took up the conversation, showing suspicion, and continued to talk without putting on an air. The suspected master was at the banquet, so it was not his turn to make an appearance.

"Verun Wu clearly learned that the weather in Dinghai Province has been good these years, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The Lord of this city has never had any evil intentions, and he has never had the courage to covet the tribute of the imperial court. He only wants to live a stable life and not fall into the blame of others. This matter is my real anger. I was wronged, I was not the one who escorted the tribute, and all the guards I escorted Han Dongsheng were killed, I don't know whether to settle this account with Han Dongsheng or with the rampant Guanhaizhuang!"

Feng Muyang didn't know whether it was because of his outstanding acting skills or because he was really angry. His tone changed from begging for mercy to complaining, and the transition was quite natural, not like a fake.

Deng Shengjie waved his hand, smiling sweetly, his poker face smiled unexpectedly, he felt cold on the soles of his feet, and he didn't know whether he was sincere or just talking.

"City Lord Feng has worked hard to govern these years. Under the premise that General Qiao will repel all the sea spirit beasts that will commit crimes in the future, Dinghai Province has been governed very well. The imperial court is obvious to all. I personally also want to believe that City Lord Feng does not have to take the risk of being so foolish. It is not your usual style to commit a crime, to break the law, to make a small loss out of a big one. In recent years, Guanhai Village has been a little rampant, and it only targets famous, wealthy and powerful people. It is really a bit unscrupulous. I came here to punish Exterminate this group of people who break the rules and kill all this force. As for Han Dongsheng, no matter whether he is involved or not, whether he is calculated or calculated, he is useless in the imperial court. Those who can't even keep the tribute stay This will only destroy the prestige of the imperial court. When I go to Wanfeng City, I will escort Han Dongsheng to Yongyao Capital, and choose a day to ask him to be executed. Yin, from now on, I will be a slave and a servant, and I will give an explanation to the imperial court."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room felt chills, and the delicacies in front of them all lost their color. There is no kind person in Shangtianmen. This Venerable Wu has a very paranoid character. Involving Han Dongsheng and his family and servants, how can we not make everyone panic.Such a decisive person, said these words without blinking his eyes, like killing chickens and dogs, relaxed and freehand, sparse and ordinary.

Feng Muyang didn't know how to react when he heard this. He just felt sad that the rabbit died and the fox was sad. Han Dongsheng's thorn in his side was about to be removed at last, but what kind of good life would he have in the future?In the past, although Han Dongsheng monitored himself to prevent himself from being self-reliant and breaking away from the rule of the imperial court, he did not take any substantive actions, and was more greedy. shame.Now that the sharp thorn that penetrated into the bone marrow was pulled out by the Heavenly Sect, Feng Muyang didn't feel any joy in his heart, only fear.

Zhu Boming had already planned for the future development. Although he was timid in his heart, he escaped the inspection of Shangtianmen by chance. Now that the disaster has come to Dinghai Province, he and his family have no worries for the time being. Wheel, the more I think about it, the more frightened I become.

Qiao Anguo and Yang Chengfu had deeper thoughts. Deng Shengjie said this not only for Feng and Zhu, but for himself. Anguo, Yang Chengfu, and Cui Quji must not have the idea of ​​occupying land as the emperor, otherwise they will suffer the wrath of the emperor's court, and the consequences are unpredictable. However, the people in the southern region must be displaced and there will be no more stable days to speak of.

This Deng Shengjie is really a ruthless person, his understatement of a testimonial was actually a knock on the mountain and knocked everyone present.

The atmosphere had dropped to freezing point, and even Zhu Hankun, who was out of the situation, felt the oppressive atmosphere, stopped chewing food, and glanced sideways at his father.

At this time, Yu Liqing stood up, smiled, and said a set of beautiful words directly.

"Wu Zun is right. We are all citizens of the Jialuo Empire. It is the responsibility of the people to dedicate our strength to the country. This Guan Haizhuang has harmed one party and should have been eliminated long ago. I will be Wu Zun The pawns of the tyrants, clean up this ignorant and arrogant Guanhai Village! The emperor's judgment on Han Dongsheng's ineffectiveness and lack of ability, how can we, loyal people, think about it for us? As for City Lord Feng and City Lord Zhu, They are all pillars who worry about the country and the people, and they are all able to govern the country and the country. General Qiao and Manager Yang are even more amazing. In the past ten years, no spirit beasts have invaded the inland in the southern region. People can do it, Miracle Physician Cui's skillful hand rejuvenates, alchemy cures diseases and saves people, Yu respects and admires him. Everyone here is respected by Yu from the bottom of his heart, I would like to offer you nine cups to show your reverence."

After finishing speaking, Yu Liqing couldn't help but put down the pottery cup, raised the pottery bowl and filled it with wine, and drank heavily under the watchful eyes of everyone, and drank nine bowls in succession, but his face was not red, and he was not out of breath, which is enough to see his cultivation level It's not low either.

After being interrupted by Yu Liqing, the atmosphere eased a lot. Everyone raised their glasses high and returned a glass to Yu Liqing to show their gratitude.

Seeing it, Qiao Bang felt that this Yu Liqing was unusual, and he was actually a person who was good at forbearance.

Think carefully about what you just said, Yu Liqing, Bao Chengjing...

Hmm, interesting...
