Great Swordsman

Chapter 122 Shu Wang Jixia!
Li's backyard.

Under the wooden frame next to the bamboo stream, gourd vines have covered the wooden frame, the pavilion is like a cover, and a blue gourd hangs in the middle, the size of a baby's head, emitting a hazy halo, shining brightly.

Shu Wang Jixia stood aside, with gourds in her dark eyes, and the corners of her mouth seemed to be smiling but not a smile: "I got this spirit treasure before entering King Qingping's tomb. This trip to Tai'a County is the right time."

Next to it, a white-robed Taoist priest was squatting at the root of the gourd vine. He didn't know what he was busy with. After half the salary, he got up and said, "My lord, this gourd vine has very deep roots. If you transplant it rashly, the chances of survival may be high." Less than ten percent."

"With your Longhushan method, it won't work?" Ji Xia frowned.

The priest shook his head.

His Taoist name is Mingshan, he is a disciple of Longhu Mountain, and now he is in the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Shenfu, and he is the deacon of the Ministry of Earth.

"What if we plant another species?" Ji Xia gently stroked the blue gourd.

"My lord, this gourd is still immature, I'm afraid there are no seeds in it." Ming Shan shook his head slightly.

"What if my king picks it up early?" Ji Xia asked again.

"This gourd is not yet ripe, but it has already shown its miraculous powers. Even if it is picked in advance, one or two of it can be kept." Ming Shan replied, "But my lord, it is really wasteful to do so."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Ji Xia's long eyes were slightly fixed, and she looked at Ming Shan coldly.

Ming Shan sighed in his heart, this king of Shu is really moody, he is more like an emperor than an emperor, if it is not for his master's order, he really does not want to enter Jiutian Yingyuan Shenfu.

"My lord, Li Mu, the county magistrate of Qingping County, is seeking an audience outside." The voice of a monk from the Earth Department came from outside the courtyard.

"Tell him to wait in the side hall." Ji Xia ordered, then turned to look at the blue gourd with an uncertain expression.

Gourds are good, but they take time to mature.

However, after confirming the specific location of King Qingping's tomb and taking the treasures inside, he had to rush back to the Imperial Capital, and it was impossible to stay here for a gourd.

If he kept this gourd, he would judge others with his own heart, and felt that it would definitely be picked by outsiders. Instead of this, it would be better to pick the gourd in advance before leaving!
Even if the magic gourd is halved, it is still better than being taken away by others!

Half an hour later, Ji Xia rushed to the side hall with Taoist Ming Shan.

In the side hall, Li Mu was sitting in the guest seat, and there was no tea on the table.

He had no sadness or joy on his face, and he was not furious when Jixia's dove took over the magpie's nest. After all, this Li's mansion used to be a Shi mansion, and the gourd vine belonged to the Shi family's father and son. If he can snatch it, others can too snatch away.

However, whether it can take the last place depends on the nature of the individual... Li Mu's eyes overflowed with a cold light.

"My lord is here!" the voice of a monk from the Earth Department came from outside.

Li Mu looked up and saw two people entering the side hall. The leader was wearing a dragon robe with two dragons embroidered on it. The dragon walked like a tiger, looking like an eagle watching a wolf. He looked like a hero. It was Li Mu a few days ago. The middle-aged man I met!

The other was dressed in a white Taoist robe, about thirty years old, with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, with a low sense of existence.

Li Mu stood up, cupped his hands and saluted: "I have met the King of Shu."

At the beginning of the founding of Daqian, Taizu Zeng established the ancestral system, saying that there is no need to bow down except for sacrifices. Even the emperor only needs to bow down.

But there is a saying that is good, the ancestral system is used to violate!

"Magistrate Li, why don't you kneel down when you see this king!" Shu Wang Ji Xia quickly sat on the throne, looking down at Li Mu with dark eyes, majestic like a prison.

"Dare to ask the lord, why do you want to kneel?" Li Mu asked neither humble nor overbearing.

Ji Xia sneered: "There is a reason for asking you to kneel! Why do you need to ask?"

"The Taizu once established the ancestral system. Except for offering sacrifices, all officials do not need to bow down to anyone. If the lower officials don't ask, are they ashamed of the Taizu?" Li Mu said.

"Sharp teeth!" Ji Xia sneered, "But today, I will make you kneel down and be convinced!"

"My lord, please show me." Li Mu said.

"The imperial court has already issued an order to the world that all fetishes belong to the imperial court! Magistrate Li, do you understand?" Ji Xia asked.

"The lower officials are naturally aware of it, so they reported King Qingping's tomb to Jiutian Yingyuan Shenfu immediately." Li Mu said, "Therefore, the lower officials have contributed to the imperial court and the Shenfu!"

"The tomb of King Qingping is there. Even if you don't say it, someone will! How did you get the credit?!" Ji Xia sneered and asked Li Mu, "but the gourd vine in your mansion..."

"The gourd is something that has an owner." Li Mu said.

"There is a master? It's ridiculous! Is it the king's land in the whole world, is it the king's minister on the shore of the land, not to mention the gourd, even you are the minister of His Majesty, why, you dare to disobey the king's order?" Ji Xia sneered again and again.

"Your Majesty misunderstood." Li Mu said calmly, "The owner of the gourd that I mentioned is His Majesty today! I raised the gourd for Your Majesty, and when the gourd matures, I will rush to give the gourd to Your Majesty. , Your lord, you... worry too much."

"You!!" Ji Xia's face turned gloomy for an instant, as if he didn't expect Li Mu to be so sharp-tongued!
He stared at Li Mu, and after half the salary, he suddenly felt that Li Mu looked familiar. He stared at him and asked coldly, "Magistrate Li, where have we met?"

He didn't recognize me... Li Mu smiled and changed the subject: "My lord Mingjian, I went to Xihua County to participate in the literary conference a while ago, and I just returned today. When I learned that my lord is here, I was in a hurry to come to see me."

"Oh, the Wenhui of Xihua County." As expected, Ji Xia's attention was diverted, he remembered something, and asked, "Can County Magistrate Li meet Zhang Yulang, one of the 72 elites in the Imperial Capital, at the Wenhui?"

"My lord is really wise and mighty. Not only did I see him, but I also went back to Tai'a County with him." Li Mu said.

"He really came to Tai'e County!" Ji Xia sneered, "Unfortunately, with this king here, you are doomed to get nothing!"

"What do you mean by your lord's words?" Li Mu asked knowingly.

"You don't need to know!" Ji Xia looked at Li Mu with vague eyes, "Magistrate Li, you reported the tomb of King Qingping, would you like to follow me to find out?"

Li Mu pretended to be overjoyed, and kept saying yes.

However, Ji Xia sneered: "Loyalty is commendable, but since you just came back from Xihua County, you have a lot of official business in the county, so don't bother County Magistrate Li to make a big fight!"

"Ah, the prince is serious." Li Mu cupped his hands.

"If you have nothing else to do, then step back." Ji Xia said coldly.

"This... I will resign." Li Mu left with regret.

……

After Li Mu left, Ji Xia asked the Taoist next to him, "Ming Shan, what do you think of this man?"

"My lord, this person is neither humble nor overbearing when he sees his lord. Even if he is questioned by his lord, his face does not change. He is quick-witted, eloquent and eloquent. If his cultivation is not bad, he can be a hero." Ming Shan said.

"Outstanding man? Huh." Ji Xia sneered, "It's just a county magistrate like an ant. When I get the things in King Qingping's tomb, I'll see what I want to do with it."

"My lord, I found King Qingping's tomb!" At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Several earth monks rushed in with injuries.
