Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 945 Things Are Simple
Cangxiao County, the residence of the Chief Martial Lord.

Homiton picked up the wine, took a sip, and looked at the man with dark red hair solemnly: "Do you think that person is the Yunhou of Daxuan, Xu Zhiqiong?"

Homiton just received the news that Daxuan Yunhou came to Fanxiao Kingdom to investigate the whereabouts of the elder Shengwei of Canglong Hall.

The man on the opposite side is Dong Junsheng, the autocratic magistrate of Fanxiao Kingdom.

Dong Junsheng nodded and said, "I think it's him. Otherwise, why would a judge from Xuanguo suddenly come to Cangxiao County?"

Homiton put down his wine glass and said, "But as far as I know, the Marquis Yun of Xuanguo is not a judge, but a cultivator of the fifth rank of killing Tao."

Dong Junsheng shook his head and said: "In Xuanguo, the judge is evil, he will definitely not admit his own Taoism, and I speculate that his cultivation is not only the fifth rank, but should be around the fourth rank."

Homiton still expressed doubts: "Dong Zhongzai, this is just your speculation, we shouldn't offend an irrelevant person just because of a speculation."

"How can it be irrelevant? He has already come to our territory, and your son was beaten to death by him. At this point, don't you think he is coming for you?"

Homiton was silent for a while, and added a glass of wine to Dong Junsheng: "I think he is just an idler from your sect. You should deal with such a person."

Dong Junsheng smiled when he heard the words, and pushed the wine glass aside: "I'll deal with it? Doesn't this matter have anything to do with you?"

"The matter of your Taoism has nothing to do with me."

Dong Junsheng frowned and said, "If your son hadn't provoked him, he might have left after staying in Cangxiao County for a day, and there wouldn't be so much chaos."

Homiton looked indifferent: "My son did nothing wrong, he is carrying out my order, there should be no more foreigners in Cangowu County, this is the beginning of our conquest of the kingdom,
Migran is an excellent young man, the most outstanding talent among the youths of his generation, he is the most dazzling jewel in the entire Fanxiao Kingdom, I hope you can remember this! "

Dong Junsheng nodded and said: "I can remember that I have never questioned Migran's excellence, but what I want to remind you is, don't forget that we have not conquered the kingdom yet,

Don't forget that we still have a long way to go, there are some things we can't let other people know, including Elder Canglong of Xuanguo, and your rootless army. "

Homiton lowered the corner of his eyes and said, "Elder Canglong shouldn't have involved me in the first place!"

Dong Junsheng laughed and said, "Since he came to Cangxiao County, he has already involved you. Now that he is saying these useless words, can he get rid of yourself?"

Homiton shook the wine glass in his hand, and took another sip: "I'll call the Rootless Army and ambush them halfway, and I won't let those people leave the territory of Cangowol County alive."

The boundary of Cangxiao County refers to the area within a hundred miles outside Cangxiao City.

Dong Junsheng expressed his appreciation for Homiton's attitude: "This is the way to do serious things. Since Xu Zhiqiong is a member of my Taoist sect, let me deal with it. His helpers have to trouble Mr. Wu ,

Don't forget to let the rootless army contribute more sacrifices, otherwise, once we lose the blessing of the military master, all our plans will be exposed. "

Hometon nodded and drank the wine in his glass.

Dong Junsheng also drank the wine: "One more reminder, let your son be more peaceful these days."

Homiton raised his eyebrows and said, "As I said, Migran did nothing wrong! If a businessman who runs an inn dares to disobey my son's order, how can we have the power to conquer the kingdom!"

Dong Junsheng smiled slightly and said, "I didn't say that Migran was wrong. I was afraid that Xu Zhiqiong and his party would slip through the net. If someone came back to take revenge and hurt your son, you would be the one who will be most distressed."

……

In the inn, the shopkeeper Guo Guicheng sat behind the counter, concentrating on a new book.

Since Daxuan introduced the art of papermaking to Fanxiao, the popularity of books in Fanxiao Kingdom has risen sharply.

Fan Xiao has no restrictions on various disciplines, nor does he have restrictions on folk practitioners. Among the books, the method of killing the Tao is the most popular, and some books on algorithms, crafting methods, and grammar are also quite popular.

In addition, the anecdotes circulating in the market are also very popular. Guo Guicheng just bought a copy of "Judge Biography", which was written by Fanxiao's famous pen Bai Xiaosheng. .

Guo Guicheng played with the mask and read "The Biography of the Judge", and the majestic figure of the judge appeared in his mind.

Just as he was fascinated by it, the clerk smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, do you think there really are judges in this world?"

"I can't tell you clearly, where there is a law of nature, there will be a judge!" Guo Guicheng didn't want to pay attention to the buddy, turned around and concentrated on reading.

A man suddenly walked into the store and said to Guo Guicheng, "Kick out everyone in your store, I'll just say this once."

Guo Guicheng was startled, and stared at the man for a while.

The man's face was covered with bandages, but he didn't recognize it for a while.

There were still many people standing behind him, but this time Guo Guicheng recognized them. They were Migran, the son of the Chief Martial Lord, and his subordinates.

What are they doing again?

"Master Migran, I have already explained the matter to Mr. Wu Jun, and you are..."

"Don't talk about what happened before, I'll tell you what's going on right now!" Migran hooked his fingers behind him, and one of his subordinates took out the statue of the real white tiger and placed it on the counter.

Another subordinate took out his saber and drew a circle on the ground.

Fangs fight!
Mi Gelan was beaten up by Ye Ansheng, and he always wanted to take revenge, but when Xu Zhiqiong was in Cangxiao County, he didn't dare to make a move.

Now knowing that Xu Zhiqiong was gone, Migran could no longer hold back, and brought a group of subordinates to Guo Guicheng's inn.

"True God Baihu testifies, let's have a fair contest, if you win, I will let you be the third Martial Lord of Cangxiao County, if you lose, I will burn your bird shop immediately!"

Guo Guicheng got up and said: "The three Martial Lords of Cangxiao County were selected based on their ability, not whoever you want to be, whoever can be,

You are the son of Martial Lord now, if the Chief Martial Lord changes to someone else in the future, would you still dare to be so rampant? "

Migran sneered and said: "I tell you, I am the young master of Cangxiao County, and I can be the master of Cangxiao County's affairs.
I also tell you that from now on, my family will be the master of Cangxiao County for generations. If I let you die, you will not live until tomorrow in Cangxiao County! "

Guo Guicheng gritted his teeth and said nothing, he thought Migran was speaking in anger.

Migran grinned grimly and said, "Why, you dare not fight? Where did your previous courage go? Did you give up without the support of foreigners?
You don't have to fight, I'll burn your inn down right away, go to my father and cry, he will pay you another ten gold coins, which is not too little! "

Migran's subordinates prepared torches and were about to set fire to it.

The guys didn't dare to stop them, and all hid outside the inn.

Many guests heard the movement, quickly packed their bags and left the inn.

Only those few laborers did not leave.

They are from the countryside, they have never met Mr. Wu's son, and they are a bit upright, shouting at Migran: "Why burn other people's shops, let's be reasonable!"

"Get away! This has nothing to do with you!" Migran yelled angrily, and his subordinates stepped forward and kicked and beat them, pushing several laborers aside.

"Don't touch my customers!" Guo Guicheng came out from behind the counter, "I accept the challenge!"

"Okay, today I will let you taste the punishment of the young master!" Migran raised his foot and kicked Guo Guicheng in the chest.

Guo Guicheng wanted to dodge, but he couldn't dodge, the speed difference between the ninth rank of killing dao and the seventh rank of killing dao was too big.

With this kick, Guo Guicheng immediately fell to the ground, unable to stand up for a while.

"Admit defeat?" Migran stepped on Guo Guicheng's injured chest, causing Guo Guicheng to cough repeatedly.

Migran picked up the "Biography of Judge" on the counter and laughed loudly: "Judge? Do you still believe in this? Do you believe that there are judges in this world? Stupid people like you don't deserve to live in this world."

He casually threw "Judge Biography" into the charcoal stove and burned it. Guo Guicheng lay on the ground, shaking constantly.

"What is this?" Migran picked up the judge's mask, then gritted his teeth, "That day, the helper you found was wearing such a mask, right?

How dare you say that's not your accomplice?You found a dog thief who didn't know how to live or die to attack me, but you thought I couldn't see..."

Before he finished speaking, Migran staggered and lost his mask, and almost fell down himself.

Guo Guicheng exerted all his strength to move his foot away.

When Migran stood up, Guo Guicheng also got up.

Guo Guicheng picked up the mask from the ground, put it on his face, gasped for a moment and said, "Let's fight again!"

Seeing Guo Guicheng wearing a mask, Migran was a little scared.

He took two steps back, then clenched his fists again.

Don't be afraid, this is not the ruthless person, this is an ordinary person in Cang Ou City, an ordinary person who is more humble than weeds.

……

Xu Zhiqiong stayed in the Xingxiu corridor for a long time.

Holding Liang Jixiong's head in his arms, he repeatedly imagined the scene of the fierce battle.

There are characters, backgrounds, and even the bloody smell was found by Xu Zhiqiong. With so many clues, it stands to reason that the corresponding picture should have appeared on the mirror long ago.

But Xu Zhiqiong tried dozens of times, but found nothing.

Did someone erase that footage?
How could something that actually happened be washed away?
Yang Wu has gained a lot here, and when Xu Zhiqiong returned to the official path, Yang Wu told Xu Zhiqiong what he had seen and heard about the puppet:
"There is a group of people in ambush twenty miles away, probably coming for us."

"how many people?"

"Hundreds of numbers, maybe thousands."

Thousands?
Xu Zhiqiong rolled his eyes and asked again, "Where do these people come from?"

"I don't know where it came from, it seems to have popped up out of nowhere."

"Could this be the Rootless Thief?" Xu Zhiqiong looked back at Cang Owl City, "Could it be that the Rootless Thief came from him?"

Yang Wu said in a low voice: "There are a lot of them, and many of them have cultivation bases. If we strike early, we will definitely have a chance of winning, but we must not underestimate the enemy."

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Yang Wudao: "Are you looking for those people who ambushed us?"

Yang Wu nodded: "Catch a few of them, and the whole story will be revealed."

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "It doesn't have to be that complicated, maybe..."

While speaking, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly felt warm in his palm, and blood oozes out.

The corners of Xu Zhiqiong's eyes trembled, and the power of imagery that he hadn't used for a long time rolled slightly.

Yang Wu shuddered: "What's wrong? You're injured."

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head: "This is not my blood, this blood comes from a mark I left behind."

"What mark?"

Xu Zhiqiong didn't answer, and after a moment of silence, he arranged a phantom array.

Outside the phantom formation, in the eyes of others, the four of them were eating, drinking and resting.

Inside the phantom formation, Xu Zhiqiong told Yang Wu: "Make some paper figurines, make them look like them, and let them go west."

Yang Wu was taken aback: "Then let's not go west?"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "I'll go back to the city first. After you arrange the paper figurines, go find me at the inn."

Yang Wu thought for a moment and said: "You go directly to the Chief Martial Lord? Isn't this a warning?"

Xu Zhiqiong laughed and said: "Brother, he sent someone to ambush us, which proves that the snake has been startled for a long time, and he already knows our identities.
It's okay to be surprised, this matter is much simpler! "
