I have just been promoted to Qianhu, and I was shocked to hear that this is a Liaozhai!

Chapter 167: The army presses the territory (update requested)
in front of the hall.

After hearing what Cui Mingshan said, the embarrassment on Zhao Qianyuan's face became even stronger.

When he first recommended it, he never thought that Zuo Dao would one day be on an equal footing with him.

When he heard the news about Zuo Dao's promotion today, he immediately came with generous gifts.

Not just because they want to repair their relationship.

He coughed lightly, and then said: "Old Cui and I came here this time. In addition to congratulating Mr. Zuo on his promotion to the commanding officer, we also want to ask Mr. Zuo what his plans are in the future."

When Cui Mingshan heard this, he turned his head and looked at Zuo Dao seriously.

Originally, the two of them were the two highest-ranking members of the Jinyi Guards, except for the commander-in-chief.

But now Zuo Dao has been promoted and became the third commander.

Invisibly, the power of the two of them was divided.

If they had known Zuo Dao's fighting power, they might have thought of joining forces to compete with Zuo Dao.

However, they heard that Zuo Dao first killed Pudu Cihang's big centipede in the palace, and then killed the great master like a dog. Naturally, they could not continue to do this.

I can only prepare generous gifts and come to test it out in the name of congratulations.

Hearing Zhao Qianyuan speak, Zuo Dao was a little silent.

Speaking of which, he didn't know what he should do in the future.

After all, being able to be promoted to the commanding officer this time has already reached the pinnacle in terms of official position.

Further up, there is Cao Xiang, the commander-in-chief of his immediate superior.

The position of capital commander is usually held by relatives of the emperor, not to mention that Cao Xiang is in his prime.

With his strength, there is no problem in living for two to three hundred years.

Therefore, there is no need to think too much about getting promoted. You can only try to find a way to be transferred out of Kyoto.

If you just want to leave Kyoto with the official position of commanding Tongzhi.

Unless the capital commander or the emperor speaks out, it is basically impossible to leave the capital without authorization.

In Kyoto, including him, he already has three fellow commanders.

He is the one with the greatest potential among the three, and he is also the youngest and the most powerful.

If he is both affectionate and rational, the court will put him in good stead.

I am not afraid of sending him out, I am just afraid that the superiors will ask him to stay in Kyoto.

That's the real trouble.

Zuo Dao looked at the two of them and said tentatively: "I wonder if you two adults can find a way to transfer me out of Kyoto."

In today's capital, if anyone wants him to be transferred out of Kyoto.

Then there are only these two people in front of me.

After all, no one wants to have their power taken away for no reason.

After hearing what Zuo Dao said, the two people couldn't help showing a look of surprise on their faces.

Then when he looked towards Zuodao, his eyes became a little strange.

After all, this was the first time they heard that Jing Guan'er wanted to transfer himself out of Beijing.

Kyoto is a prosperous holy place with many resources and few things to do.

Few Jin Yiwei want to leave.

But since Zuo Dao has this idea, as good colleagues who help each other, they naturally have to find ways to help each other.

Zhao Qianyuan pondered for a moment, and then said: "Master Zuo, is he in terrible danger?"

Zuo Dao's eyes lit up and he said: "As a royal guard, how can you be afraid of danger?"

He wished it was dangerous.

With his current strength and foundation, he would really be able to meet a strong person at the martial arts level.

At worst, just stud.

Raise Dao Xing to 150 years and reach the level of Dao Lord. You can still save your life even if you lose.

What's more, there is such an old immortal as Lao Gui protecting him.

If this allows others to kill him.

That's what he deserves.

Zhao Qianyuan looked strange and said: "Even if you are surrounded by heavy siege, you will not hesitate?"

Zuo Dao said firmly: "I, the Jin Yiwei, were born to be surrounded by heavy siege."

When Cui Mingshan heard this, he immediately pawed his hands and said: "Okay, you are indeed a young hero. No wonder Master Zuo can achieve such strength at such an age and be promoted to the position of commanding officer. I am ashamed of myself."

Zhao Qianyuan also had a flash of emotion in his eyes, and said: "If this is the case, perhaps Mr. Zuo can apply to go to other surrounding dynasties to run the spy network."

"Hosting a spy network?"

Zuo Dao was stunned.

He watched these two people prepare the ground for so long, thinking that they were going to fight to the death.

Unexpectedly, he was trying to play tricks on others.

There was some hesitation on his face, and he said: "Zuo has never been involved in the spy network, so he may be embarrassed by the heavy responsibility."

Hearing Zuo Dao speak, the two of them couldn't help but have a look of regret on their faces.

Zhao Qianyuan said: "Except for Daxuan, most of Jin Yiwei's spy networks in various countries are secretly controlled by Jin Yiwei's commander Qian Shi."

"Only Daxuan. In recent years, there has been a Taoist-level national master and a grand master-level prince. Even their Daxuan's exclusive secret guards are unparalleled."

"I, the Jin Yiwei of the Great Wei Dynasty, have lost many of their commanders in Daxuan territory. Now the spy network in Daxuan territory is in a state of leaderlessness."

"In my opinion, Mr. Zuo is the best candidate, but it seems that Mr. Zuo is not willing to go."

Zuo Dao said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't. The spy network leader holds hundreds of lives in his hands, and it also concerns the Wei intelligence network. He can't be ruined because of me."

Cui Mingshan heard this and suddenly said: "I heard that the emperor personally initiated the spirit for his eldest grandson. Now the prince is organizing people to collect the rare objects in the world."

"This is a good job, but it's too hard and requires traveling all over the country. As Master Zuo, I'm afraid I won't bother to do it."

Hearing Cui Mingshan speak, Zuo Dao couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

To search for rare objects in the world for the legitimate emperor and grandson, do you still need to travel all over the country and have no fixed place to live?

No matter how it sounds, this is an errand specially prepared for him.

The three of them chatted in the lobby for a long time.

Zhao Qianyuan and Cui Mingshan stood up to say goodbye.

After the two left, he opened the generous gifts they had prepared for this visit.

Zhao Qianyuan prepared a stack of talismans, estimated to have dozens of them.

Moreover, there are many kinds of them, they are all flashy, and they include some with all kinds of magical powers.

But this is a good consumable for him.

After all, when fighting, being able to catch the opponent off guard is useful no matter how you think about it.

The thing Cui Mingshan sent was a bit strange. It looked like a small boat.

Just like the boat he saw in Qingsha's hand that day.

At that time, he only wanted Qingsha to hand over all the good treasures, but in his opinion, those things were of little use.

The only thing that makes the other party reluctant to leave is the hairpin on the back of his head.

From what she said, it was a defensive treasure.

At that time, he forgot to ask the other party to hand over the Dharma boat together, so he let the person go.

I regretted it later.

Unexpectedly, Cui Mingshan gave him such a great gift today.

He wrote down the instructions for operating the magic boat, then went to the front yard and raised his hands to make the secrets.

In an instant, you can see the Dharma boat floating in the air for an instant, and then rising in the wind.

In just a blink of an eye, it turned into the size of a normal boat, and he went up to experience it.

The speed of this magic boat is pretty good, but its defense is a little weak.

Even a great master can easily destroy the Dharma Ark, and it consumes a lot of spiritual energy.

It is difficult for an ordinary grand master to support it. Only martial arts immortals or Tao Lords can use this thing to travel for a long time.

For Cui Mingshan, this thing is probably useless.

But for him, this thing is just right, and he is not afraid that this thing will consume a lot of money.

With this thing, at least I can conceal my identity to some extent when I go out in the future.

After all, this thing is a common thing in the realm of overhaul.

He put away the Dharma Ark again and then came to the backyard.

The old turtle was lying in the pavilion as usual, eating fruit, drinking wine, and watching the showgirls playing dance music in front of him.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Dao couldn't help but his face darkened, and he felt bad all over.

It was precisely because of this guy that Superintendent Li came up with the idea of ​​​​sending people from the Jiaofang Division when he came to present official uniforms and rewards.

Zuo Dao glanced at the singing girls, then threw some broken silver and said: "Today is over, go back!"

The singing girls also knew Zuo Dao's identity, so they picked up the broken silver and walked outside.

But when he walked out of the backyard, he muttered that he was too stingy.

The gentleman in the pavilion usually rewards people with golden beans.

How come this official can only send them away with broken silver?

Zuo Dao could hear clearly in the pavilion, and because of this, his complexion became darker.

The old turtle glanced at him and said, "Are you sick? You look so bad."

When Zuo Dao heard this, his chest suddenly felt tight.

Lao Gui chuckled and said, "That girl is right. I heard that you were promoted to Commander and Associate Commander, and you are a third-rank officer in the Wei Dynasty. Why are you so stingy?"

Zuo Dao took a deep breath and said, "Senior, I'm not as rich as you."

This old turtle has lived for tens of thousands of years, and there are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry offered by mortals every year.

As a powerful person, Lord Long naturally would not want these vulgar things.

All those yellow and white things might have gone into the old turtle's pocket.

The accumulation of tens of thousands of years is terrifying to think about.

The old turtle looked disdainfully and said, "That's true. Even if you live another 800 years, you won't be as rich as me."

Zuo Dao rolled his eyes, and then directly took out the physical Buddha.

Come to the old turtle.

He opened his mouth and said: "Father, please help me take a look at this physical Buddha. Recently, I always feel that something is wrong with the physical Buddha."

When Lao Gui heard this, he glanced at Zuo Dao.

This boy is really realistic. When he is fine, he calls him senior, and when something happens, he calls him foster father.

But for some reason, he still prefers this kid to call him senior.

Because he always felt that this boy had no good intentions when he called him his adoptive father.

The old turtle sat up slightly, looked at the physical Buddha, and then his eyes instantly fixed on the physical Buddha.

He said with a somewhat surprised tone: "This flesh puppet actually has some spirituality. It's interesting. It's really interesting."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao couldn't help but be stunned.Then he said: "This fleshly puppet has existed for hundreds of years, how could it suddenly become spiritual?"

The old turtle glanced at him and said, "Have you ever controlled this thing out of your body?"

Zuo Dao thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he had actually controlled this thing out of his body.

Just one or two times can this physical Buddha become spiritual?
If this is really the case, then it would be a bit unbelievable, right?

Seeing the expression on Zuo Dao's face, Old Turtle said: "This thing itself has some spirituality. Later, it was activated by you and controlled by your soul once or twice. It is not surprising that it has spirituality."

"But you don't have to worry. Even if this thing becomes spiritual, life and death are all within your reach."

Hearing Lao Gui speak, Zuo Dao was a little calmer.

If that was the case, there was no need for him to worry.

I was worried before, just because I didn't know what happened to the physical Buddha.

He was really afraid that if this guy had his own intelligence, he would stab him in the back.

Now that I heard Old Turtle's words, I felt a lot more relieved.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Father, what is the use of this physical Buddha?"

The old turtle thought for a moment and said, "If you don't dislike this physical Buddha's level, I can teach you the method of refining the incarnation outside the body."

Having said this, he looked at the physical Buddha with some disgust.

Said: "I am afraid that this monk was not even able to reach the realm of Buddha before he was alive, so he was refined into a physical puppet. Even if he was refined into an external incarnation, he would still be an inferior thing."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao chuckled and said, "Forget it then. When I find something good, my adoptive father will teach me the magic method."

He put away the physical Buddha and suddenly remembered something. He raised his hand and a tall Yin Huaimuzhen appeared between the two of them.

When the old turtle saw this, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "You kid, why are there so many weird things?"

Zuo Dao laughed twice and said, "Father, help me take a look at this thing."

The old turtle's eyes were full of disdain and he said: "A spiritual creature that can nourish the Yin spirit and allow the people from the Yin Division to return to the human world."

"If your kid has acquaintances in the underworld, you can invite them to sit down if something happens. They may be able to help you."

"However, people from the Yin Division need to be compensated for their actions. The smallest amount is just some Yin Division currency, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, magic weapons and spiritual weapons, and the larger amount is life span, mana, and even Yin De."

"You kid, don't mess around."

When Zuo Dao heard this, he raised his head and said, "What are you talking about, foster father? As the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, and the foster father is here, there is no need for the underworld creatures to take action."

Speaking of Yinsi, a look of aftertaste appeared on his face.

He said: "In the early years, I also went to the Yin Division with Long Jun and Taoist Lu Yan. Although it is the Yin Division, it is not very different from the Yang Realm."

"Especially the Yin Si brothel, which is full of beauties and beauties, making people have endless aftertaste."

He asked: "By the way, Zuo boy, how is the Yinsi doing now?"

After hearing this, Zuo Dao thought about it carefully, and then told the two ghost kings of the underworld, the Nine-tailed Fox and the Black Mountain Old Demon.

As soon as the names of these two people appeared, Lao Gui's brows suddenly frowned even more tightly.

He muttered: "These are all crooked melons and cracked dates that came out of nowhere."

He remembered that more than [-] years ago, the Yinsi was still the territory of Emperor Fengdu, but now it sounded like a piece of loose sand.

All cats and dogs dare to call themselves the King of Ghosts in the underworld.

Could it be that those guys in the underworld have also disappeared?
The ghost emperors of the five directions, the kings of hell in the ten palaces, and the meritorious officials of the six cases are all missing?

If this is the case, then what happened during the more than 1 years that he was trapped in the Dragon Palace?
The more the old turtle thought about it, the tighter his brows became.

He always felt that something was wrong with the death of Lord Long and the disappearance of Taoist Lu Yan.

Even the Yinsi has changed like this now. I'm afraid something terrible happened back then.

The next moment, the old turtle disappeared directly and returned to his bedroom.

Seeing this, Zuo Dao couldn't help but curled his lips.

This old turtle is really angry. He was asked to identify two things, so why did he run away?
He originally wanted to ask if he could refine the Dharma boat sent by Cui Mingshan.

After all, that thing is too fragile.

Even the Grand Master can defeat it.

This is very bad.

But just now he heard what Lao Gui meant. This guy actually went to the Yin Division with Long Jun and Taoist Lu Yan more than [-] years ago.

It is said that there is not much difference between the underworld and the mortal world.

And the most important thing is that this guy has actually been to a brothel in the underworld.

I don't know what the difference is between the people there and the people in the Jiaofang Division.

Thinking of this, Zuo Dao shook his head violently and threw away the thoughts in his mind.

How could he, a gentleman who studied in the Spring and Autumn Period in his previous life, think of such a thing.

He must have been led astray by that shameless old man.

Zuo Dao looked back in the direction of the old turtle, sighed in his heart, and then returned to the room.

late at night.

He looked at his personal panel and hesitated for a moment.

He was in the palace before, and his energy points skyrocketed to more than 2 during a battle.

These energy points now have no other effect besides improving Taoism.

The only two things that I can improve now are Taoism and Heart-Earth Contemplation.

As for the purpose of Taiyi Jinhua, he does not need him to improve it at all, because at this moment, I am practicing all the time.

However, after transferring to the Taiyi Jinhua Purpose, he could clearly sense that the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth here did not seem to be very strong.

In other words, compared to the time of more than [-] years ago in the old turtle's memory.

The spiritual energy here seems to be diluted dozens of times, as if this place is like an abandoned place.

He took a deep breath, hesitated again and again, and decided to improve his Taoism for five years.

It only costs about [-] energy points.

As for the remaining energy points, they are reserved for emergencies.

……

As the five thousand energy points disappeared, a majestic spiritual power instantly poured into his body.

Then it was slowly refined through the perfect Dao foundation and summarized in Dantian Zifu.

It spreads through the meridians throughout the body.

After a long time, Zuo Dao breathed a sigh of relief. This feeling was better than he imagined.

……

Early the next morning.

The sky is bright.

Zuo Dao opened his eyes and just walked out of the house after washing, when he heard footsteps approaching in a hurry.

He raised his eyes and saw that it was Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.

Several people came closer and said with ugly faces: "Sir, something happened."

Zuo Dao frowned slightly.

problem occurs?
Now that the capital has just calmed down, the martial artist in the palace has died, as has Pudu Cihang.

The monsters in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion were so desperate that they could escape, so what else could happen?

He said: "You are now members of the Hundred Households of Jinyiwei, and your cultivation level is about to be promoted to Xiantian, so you have done enough credit. But how can you be so impatient when you want to be promoted to the rank of Thousand Households?"

"But I have forgotten how I taught you to wait. Whenever big things happen, you must be calm and have the magnanimity to remain calm despite the collapse of the mountain."

When Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others heard this, a look of shame suddenly appeared on their faces.

Look at how generous and magnanimous my master is, and then look at myself and others.

Early in the morning, I just heard the news at the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, so I ran over in panic.

It's really embarrassing for adults.

As a fellow commander, how could you not know what happened in the court today?

Zhang Long took a deep breath, calmed down, and then slowly said: "Sir, there are rumors in the court that the army of the Daxuan Dynasty is pressing on the border, with 30 people, far more than our Wei army, and they want to fight with me The Wei Dynasty goes to war."

"Your Majesty, the Commander-in-Chief, will allow all [-]-level Jinyi guards in Beijing and above to come to Beizhen Fusi to discuss matters."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao's eyes widened instantly and he looked at several people in disbelief.

Daxuan Dynasty's 30 troops are pressing down on the territory?
Want to start a war with Wei?
Could it be said that the old martial arts immortal in the deep palace of the Wei Dynasty just died.

They couldn't hold it any longer.

But since they were able to find out the news about King Cao Sheng's death, why couldn't they find out about the emperor's promotion to a martial arts immortal?

Outrageous, off the mark.

He just wanted to grow up safely. If there was a fight, would he go to the battlefield and kill people?

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed directly in the direction of Beizhen Fusi.

Seeing this, Zhao Hu couldn't help scratching his head and said: "Didn't your Excellency say that whenever big things happen, you should be calm and have the magnanimity to remain calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai?"

"But why are you in such a hurry, sir?"

Hearing this, Zhang Long frowned and said, "Your Majesty's behavior must be justified. I'll follow you quickly."

After saying that, he took the lead and ran towards Fusi Yamen in Beizhen.

When the others saw this, they could only follow with all their strength.

soon.

Zuo Dao then came to Fusi Yamen in Beizhen. The atmosphere in the Yamen was strange at this moment.

The place you pass is extremely quiet and you can hear a needle drop.

As soon as he entered the Yamen lobby, he saw Cao Xiang, the commander-in-chief, sitting above him.

Under him are the two commanders, Zhao Qianyuan and Cui Mingshan.

There is another empty seat nearby, which is reserved for him.

Among the Kyoto.

All the governors and Qianhu in Beijing were in the lobby, while deputy Qianhu and Baihu were waiting in the courtyard.

When the commander-in-chief saw Zuo Dao coming, he immediately said, "Everyone must have heard the news about the border."

"The 30-strong army of the Daxuan Dynasty is pressing down on the border, and it is already on the verge of our own territory, the Wei Dynasty."

Hearing this, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

Most of the people who can sit here are well-informed people.

Almost immediately after the morning court, they received news from the court.

Only Zuo Dao, a reckless man who had just been promoted to the commander of the capital, did not like to delve into these heresy.

So much so that I only heard this news from my subordinates today.
