Start practicing archery

Chapter 203 Breaking the situation
The Governor's Mansion.

After receiving the order, Chen Sanshi moved in with his family.

There are many maids and servants in the Governor's Mansion.

After the master left.

If no one arranged for them, they would have to go their separate ways. Most of them were already homeless, so having a new commander move in, who was the brother-in-law of their original commander, was the best thing for them.

The Governor's Mansion is very large, so big that it looks like a small sect.

In fact.

This place was originally the site of an old sect in Liangzhou City. It is neither extravagant nor wasteful, yet restrained and grand enough. There are more than a hundred courtyards inside and outside.

Chen Sanshi settled his family in a house called "Fufengxie" near the lake behind the mountain.

Master's Angelica Courtyard was sealed forever.

Fourth senior brother’s Wutong Courtyard will also be retained temporarily.

As the days passed, life in Liangzhou City, on the surface, became peaceful.

Chen Sanshi found a natural cave in the back mountain. He would bring the Zhenyue Sword here every day to carve it, preparing to transform the cave into a natural cave residence. When he had nothing to do, he would sit by the lake and fish with the fishing rod left by his master.

"Isn't this quite simple..."

He pulled the rod back suddenly and found it was a bunch of water plants: "Master, this rod is really bad."

"Siqin!"

"Come here!"

"Go to the warehouse and get some money so that I can buy a good fishing rod."

"Okay sir."

"Why are you back again?"

"Master, Steward Wu said that the fishing rod left by Commander Sun is the best and most expensive in Liangzhou City, and it is inlaid with the finest materials."

"No way. Just buy it if you're told to."

"Oh."

"..."

Ten days later.

Chen Sanshi vowed never to go fishing again.

The renovation of his cave was also completed.

After passing the Green Ant Lake is the nearby back mountain.

After the renovation on the basis of the original cave, more than a dozen secret rooms for retreat were expanded. The furnishings are also very simple, either the most common wooden tables and chairs, or they are directly carved from local materials using the stones in the cave.

Chen Sanshi took out the spirit pearl and placed it in the stone trough.

The spiritual energy suddenly spread like thick fog, filling the entire cave.

Then, he crushed the talisman to block out the spiritual energy inside.

From the outside, no abnormality can be detected at all.

Another thirty days passed.

Chen Sanshi was practicing the "Five Elements Secret", but unfortunately his speed was too slow.

[Kung Fu: Five Elements Technique. Initial Stage of Qi Refining (Level 1)]

【Progress: 335/500】

Moreover, if he continues to practice like this, he doesn't know when he will be able to break through to the second level of Qi Refining. Not to mention comparing with others, just comparing with his own martial arts realm, the gap is huge.

But actually.

His current martial arts realm is the late stage of the Transcendent Realm, which is equivalent to the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm for a cultivator. It is not the lowest level, but it is not high either.

The main reason why he killed the Wushen Cult's high priest who was in the late stage of Qi Refining was because of the accumulation of fighting spirit brought by [Unparalleled] after killing tens of thousands of people, plus the blessing of the Great Snow Dragon Riders' Tianmen Formation.

If I really encounter a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining one-on-one, I will not die even if I use all my means, but it should be difficult to kill the opponent.

About cultivation.

The best way.

It is better to go to the world of immortal cultivation and find a way to obtain a single-attribute cultivation technique, and then get some elixirs to cooperate with it, the speed should be much faster.

Moreover, the natural resources and treasures needed to cultivate the realm of true power must also be prepared in the world of immortal cultivation.

If things go wrong, I’ll have to run back and forth more often in the future.

[Skill: Archery. Perfection (Breaking Limit Level 2)]

[Progress: (558/2000)]

The improvement of archery skills is also increasing steadily.

After the retreat, Chen Sanshi put away the spirit pearl and left the cave.

He still had some things to deal with before he left.

After walking out of the Governor's Mansion.

Chen Sanshi went straight to the home of Lieutenant General Yu Songyu.

I had promised Lieutenant General Yu that I would personally teach his two sons martial arts when the time was right, and I would certainly not break my promise, but before that I was busy with wars and various other things and could not spare the time.

The widow Song said, "My Lord, are you looking for those two bastards? They went to the military camp today to sign up, saying they wanted to join the Northern Liang Army."

"Okay, I understand. If you need any help, please send someone to the Governor's Mansion to let me know."

Chen Sanshi said goodbye and went to the military camp.

According to the rules of Liangzhou.

February of each year is the time for recruiting new soldiers.

"Meet the Commander!"

"Meet Commander Chen!"

"..."

"Ah."

Chen Sanshi arrived at the registration place and quickly found General Yu’s two sons.

"Yu Ji."

"Yu Lie."

"Meet the Commander!"

The two young men saluted with their fists clasped.

"If you don't mind."

Chen Sanshi paused and said, "How about calling me Master?"

The Yu brothers looked at each other, their eyes flashing with excitement that could not be concealed, and then they knelt on the ground together, shouting in unison:

"Master, please accept my disciple's greetings!"

"Get up, wait a moment."

Chen Sanshi noticed a figure among the crowd.

……

"grown ups."

Su Can said reluctantly: "Is it really impossible to join the Beiliang Army directly?"

"nonsense!"

The officer in charge of recruiting soldiers said impatiently: "The Northern Liang Army has no new recruits. Even the soldiers have been tempered through thousands of trials. If you want to join the Northern Liang Army, either your family members have ancestors in the Northern Liang Army, or you must first join the Liangzhou Guards and then compete for a place in the Northern Liang Army."

"But……"

Su Can scratched his head: "I just went to the guard post, and they said that they have already recruited enough people for this spring..."

Whether it was the garrisons or the Northern Liang Army in Liangzhou, they had always been fully paid, and the families of those killed in battle were all given generous pensions. Therefore, there was no shortage of recruits every year, but it was not to the point of being overcrowded.

Just this year...

The new commander-in-chief was so famous that all the men in Liangzhou signed up to join the army.

Su Can went to help take care of Uncle Xu next door just because he broke his leg. He was delayed for half an hour and it was too late when he arrived.

"Who can you blame if you're late?"

The official waved his hand impatiently: "Go away!"

"grown ups."

Su Can pleaded, "Can't you really give me a chance? I can shoot arrows through poplars and willows within a hundred steps. Although I have never been in the army before, I have killed eight barbarians."

"Really want a chance?"

The official lowered his voice and rubbed a few fingers together.

"oh oh."

Su Can reacted and took out a few copper coins from his pocket.

"You're sending away a beggar? Ten taels of silver!"

The official threw the copper coins in disdain and said, "Bring me ten taels of silver and I'll let you join the Northern Liang Army as a soldier. How about that?!"

"Really?"

Su Can's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again: "Sir, I don't have so much money."

He made a living by hunting and didn't dare to go to Luotian Mountains, so how could he earn so much silver?

“No money?!”

The official completely lost his patience: "If you don't have money, get out now!"

"I, as his uncle, gave him the money."

"Snapped--"

Suddenly.

A huge silver ingot weighing twenty taels was thrown in front of him from behind.

“Eh?!”

The official's eyes sparkled, and he quickly picked it up and put it to his lips and chewed it: "You are really good, I didn't expect that such a kind relative would help you!"

"I paid, you won't cheat me, right?"

"No, no, don't worry."

"But as far as I know, if you want to join the Northern Liang Army, don't you have to start from the garrison and be selected step by step? And my nephew is not a descendant of the Northern Liang Army, how can he join?"

"Isn't this simple? Can't we just find a helpless descendant of the Northern Liang Army to take his place? Not all of them are descendants of military commanders. The descendants of those soldiers have no backers at all. No one will care if they die! So, which camp do you want to join?"

"Hongze Camp, can we enter?"

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. So many people died in Hongze Camp not long ago, and we need to recruit a lot of people later. Most of them should be transferred from the Beijing Army in the capital, but there will be dozens of quotas for selection from the guards. I can find a replacement for you, but this is more troublesome, so... it costs extra money!"

"It's no problem to pay more. But I'm curious, you can even grab a spot at the Liangzhou Guard Station?"

"Of course not. We are the ones who are in charge of recruiting soldiers. We are all brothers! Fifty taels of silver! For fifty taels of silver, I will guarantee that you will be sent to Hongze Camp as a soldier! Don't think it's too expensive. You should know what Hongze Camp is. You can earn it back if you make contributions with Commander Chen in the future. If you don't want it, there are many people who do."

"Really? Then could you please make some arrangements for me as well?"

"You? How old are you? Older people can't do that."

Zhang Zhubu turned around and looked, then fell to the ground with his chair: "Supervisor...Supervisor..."

"Why are you so excited? I just want to chat with you."

Chen Sanshi looked down at him: "What's your name?"

“Zhang, Zhang, Zhang…”

Zhang Zhubu stammered, "Zhang Youde."

"Master Zhang is very capable."

Chen Sanshi picked up the book on the table and flipped through it: "You work in the Northern Liang Army, and you can also reach out to the Liangzhou Guard. You really have a wide network of contacts. I can't compare to you."

"Commander, Commander, spare my life!"

Zhang Youde immediately knelt down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

side.

Soldiers had already come and dragged him away.

"Please rest assured, Commander!"

Wang Li clasped his fists and said, "We will definitely investigate this thoroughly."

Chen Sanshi didn't say anything.

Just watching them take people away.

There are always these termites wherever you are.

"Commander Chen, Commander Chen."

Su Can seemed to be still a little dazed and didn't know what to say. In the end, he just clenched his fists and remained silent.

"Last time I saw you, you were a pretty good archer."

Chen Sanshi said, placing a hand on the other's shoulder, and found that he also had the body of a martial saint: "You and brother Yu Ji will follow me from now on."

"Both of them?"

Su Can didn't know either of them.

Yu Ji reminded quietly: "Hurry up and pay your respects to the master."

Master? !
Only then did Su Can realize what had happened to him.

He bowed down and worshiped.

I was still a little dazed until half an hour later.

not long ago.

The man in white robe who was like a god in his heart, had become his master in the blink of an eye? !
Su Can and the Yu brothers were divided according to age.

Su Can is the oldest and is the second senior brother.

As for why it was the second senior brother and not the eldest senior brother, they didn’t know.

They took the skills and went back to try it out themselves.

Chen Sanshi was preparing to deal with some soldiers, but when he arrived at the big tent, he saw another acquaintance.

He was wearing a tight suit and had two swords on his waist.

The owner of Pi Yue Villa, Wen Zhi.

"It's Master Wen."

Chen Sanshi said calmly: "The ring is only 500 steps away, let's fight quickly and decisively."

"Commander Chen, Commander Chen."

Wen Zhi stood there, not moving.

"It's okay, you don't have to care about my identity as a supervisor."

Chen Sanshi said as a matter of course: "Once you are on the ring, life and death are up to fate. Even if I die, no one will bother you."

"Pfft!"

however.

As he spoke, Wen Zhi knelt down directly.

"Master Wen?"

Chen Sanshi asked: "What do you mean?"

"If a son is not well educated, it is the fault of his father! I still remember Commander Chen said this to me. Recently, I finally understood what he meant. My daughter said that it was my Dalang who deliberately made things difficult for you in order to curry favor with Cao Fan and others, and even tried to kill you several times... He deserved to die..."

Wen Zhi closed his eyes, his voice trembling a little: "Even if we don't mention these, I have no right to seek revenge on you again. If it weren't for you, my daughter would have died in my own hands during the last riot in Liangzhou. This is a life for a life. Later, in Luotian Mountains, the old commander saved me and Shao Yujing, which means I still owe you a life."

"I understood."

Chen Sanshi looked at him and said, "You won't bother me again in the future."

"No, I owe you a life. If it weren't for the old commander and you, my Pi Yue Villa would have been gone long ago."

Wen Zhi took down his two swords and said, "Commander Chen, I have offended you before. If you are willing, you can take my head at any time. Even if you are generous and spare my life, I am willing to follow your lead and go through fire and water without hesitation."

"What this means..."

Chen Sanshi said: "It was Wen Chengrui who taught Master Wen."

Hear this.

Wen Zhi, who was kneeling on the ground, froze. "How did the commander know that?"

"Your daughter is very thoughtful."

Chen Sanshi said, "Go back and tell her that there is no need to resort to such tricks. Since, as you said, you and I owe nothing to each other, I will not take the initiative to cause trouble for you."

"Commander Chen."

Wen Zhi said seriously: "My daughter taught me these words, but they are also my true thoughts. People in the martial arts world should be grateful and repay kindness. You and the old commander saved my inheritance, so I should repay you with my life. Commander? You, you are..."

he noticed.

The man in white robe ignored him and focused his attention on the sky. He also looked over there and saw a figure flying on a sword thousands of feet in the air. Judging from the direction, it seemed to be heading towards Huangyun Mountain.

Isn’t that the burial place of the old commander?
"Chihiro!"

Chen Sanshi called the white swan horse, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Wen Zhi was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and followed.

……

Huang Yunshan.

Less than two months after the funeral, white silks were still hung all over the mountains and fields. Paper money that had not yet completely rotted covered the yellow mud ground. Occasionally, the cry of crows could be heard from all around, making the scene seem particularly desolate.

A white shadow flashed by, scaring the birds away.

Chen Sanshi held the black snake bow in his hand and thought quickly in his mind.

Although no one knows what the monks are doing in the master's resting place, it is certain that they are not here to pay their respects. The master killed so many monks and destroyed a spiritual vein at the end of the world, so he is most likely here to take revenge.

Even the dead are not spared?!

He saw the monk again at the foot of the mountain.

At close range, it can be seen through the art of observing qi.

This foreign cultivator was probably in the late stage of Qi Refining, and his skills were around the seventh level, similar to the High Priest of the Wushen Cult. It would be a bit troublesome to fight him one-on-one, after all, he couldn't stack [Unparalleled].

But trouble cannot be avoided.

If this person dares to do anything disrespectful to the master, he must be stopped here no matter what. Soon, we can dispatch soldiers and the Martial Saint, and even if we have to trap him, we will trap him to death!
Chen Sanshi dismounted his horse only when he reached the woods.

But when he got closer, he saw another figure arriving almost at the same time.

Senior Brother, Lu Ji.

Lu Ji stepped on the fragments of the incense burner and slowly landed on the ground. He started a conversation with the monk with a wine gourd hanging around his waist, a hundred steps away from his master's tombstone.

Chen Sanshi then put away his bow and arrow, wanting to see what the monk was up to.

"Hiccup~"

Qu Yuanxiang stood there swaying, pointing his other hand at Lu Ji's nose and saying, "You, you get out of here. I'm not going to do anything else but dig up the grave and see if there's anything there. If there's nothing there, I'll leave."

Digging graves?!
Chen Sanshi had no expression on his face, he just approached slowly.

"This immortal master."

Lu Ji's burly figure stood still. "Your Majesty should have told you that when my master was buried, there were no burial objects. There is no need to look at it again, right? If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly. I am the eldest disciple of the old commander-in-chief and the governor of Liangzhou."

"I don't understand what your official positions are."

Qu Yuanxiang raised his hand and took out a gold medal: "See? This is the gold medal given to me by your emperor. With this gold medal, I can do whatever I want."

"Master, this gold medal is reserved for imperial envoys. You can indeed interfere in Liangzhou's military and political affairs at will, but this does not include Master Lian's body. If you don't believe me, you and I can go to the capital together and ask His Majesty for an explanation."

As Lu Ji spoke, he shook his head slightly at the white robe behind the monk.

at the same time.

Large numbers of troops began to leave the city.

Wang Zhi and several of his fellow disciples, along with their trusted subordinates, were heading to Huangyun Mountain.

"No!"

Third Senior Brother Nie Yuan rode up on a fast horse and blocked their way: "No!"

"Why not?!"

Wang Zhi cursed: "Didn't you see that there was something flying in the sky, heading towards the grave of Master?!"

"The news came from the capital in advance."

Nie Yuan explained, "This man is an immortal master from Tianshuizhou. He has a gold medal bestowed by the emperor in his hand. According to his official rank, he is now the most powerful person in Liangzhou. You are committing insubordination by bringing so many people with you. Don't you want to stay and mourn for your master during this special period? Don't worry about the cemetery. I see that the eldest brother and the younger brother have already rushed over. They will be fine!"

really.

Soon after.

Then I saw three people coming back from the direction of Huangyun Mountain.

Wang Zhi and others no longer led the troops, but chased after them on foot.

"You, you who are a believer in worshipping incense, please don't lie to me!"

Qu Yuanxiang sniffed: "Then later, can you take me to the place where the evil vein is?"

"Yeah, no problem."

Lu Ji made a gesture of invitation: "I have prepared a place for you to stay in advance, please take a rest first."

"also."

Qu Yuanxiang said drunkenly: "I am a little tired after flying all the way."

Nie Yuan stepped forward and took him to rest.

"Boss."

"what happened?"

"Where did this drunkard come from?"

"Why are you going to the master's grave?"

Meng Guangxin and others asked questions one after another.

"what?!"

Wang Zhi angrily said, "He wants to dig up Master's grave?!"

"Won't this kill him?!" "One person can't beat him, but if you and Junior Brother join forces, can't you kill him?!"

"At worst, you can still add us!"

"Lü Ji, are you scared?"

"..."

"enough!"

Lu Ji suddenly shouted angrily, interrupting everyone's words.

He looked at his fellow apprentices and took out a letter from the capital. "Read it for yourselves! This is what His Majesty meant. That drunkard monk is His Majesty's guest and has a gold medal in his hand. How can we report to His Majesty if we kill him? Don't you think the situation is chaotic enough?! If anyone dares to touch him, don't blame me for not caring about our friendship!"

Finished talking.

The surrounding area suddenly became quiet.

Lu Ji seemed to realize that his words were a bit harsh, and he sighed slightly and said, "My fellow apprentice brother and sister, you must understand one thing, Master...is no longer here.

“Someone in the capital wants to cause trouble for you, and you know it very well.

"Don't take the initiative to hand the handle to the enemy!"

Throw down the last sentence.

Lu Ji rubbed his head, turned and left.

"Boss, what do you mean..."

Wang Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "Are we just going to let it go like this?!"

"Little Junior Brother, you say."

Meng Guangxin shouted: "Amitabha, should we kill him?"

"Big Brother is right."

Chen Sanshi said, "We are still waiting for the court's approval on the mourning period. If we kill the drunkard at this critical moment, he will most likely not be able to survive."

Even if you want to kill, you can't do it openly.

The second half of this sentence.

He didn't say it.

He just quietly left the crowd and went back to the city.

……

The mighty marquis's mansion.

Lu Ji hurried back home, shaking his head vigorously as he walked, as if he was in great pain. He kicked the door open and staggered to hold on to the table. The porcelain tea set on the table shattered to the ground with the impact.

There was a constant whispering in my mind.

Before my eyes, there are strange faces that keep lingering.

They were like the semen that constantly invaded his bone marrow and damp vagina, tormenting his spirit all the time until he could no longer endure it.

"roll!"

"I told you to get out, can't you hear me?!"

Face his anger.

Instead of disappearing, the illusory figure became more and more numerous, densely packed and covering the sky, spinning around him and making strange laughs.

"court death!"

"boom!"

The true energy surged.

Lu Ji's huge fist turned into a dragon-elephant, ready to smash the illusory figure into nothingness.

"Big Brother, it's me!"

It was not until the moment before his fist fell that he heard a familiar voice in his ears and stopped abruptly.

"Big Brother, what's wrong with you? I've been talking to you for a long time but you won't listen. Is this a side effect of the evil god? Is the evil god coming to collect a debt from you?"

Nie Yuan said guiltily: "Back in Youzhou, you sought the power from the evil god for everyone else's sake."

"Are you settled?"

Lu Ji regained consciousness, sat down on the stool and adjusted his breathing.

"Settled in."

Nie Yuan said helplessly: "It's just that Qu Yuanxiang is very arrogant. He wants everything he sees. He also said that he wants to have a good time here and will be in charge of all government affairs in Liangzhou starting tomorrow."

"Let him be. He won't stay long. He'll be gone."

Lu Ji opened his eyes again and asked, "How are the preparations for Dongyi City going?"

"All right."

Nie Yuan nodded and said, "We can start in the next few days."

"Ah That's good."

Lu Ji waved his hand: "Go and get ready."

"Okay. Senior Brother..."

Nie Yuan said worriedly, "Will there be any problems if this continues?"

"I only owe that evil god 20,000 blood food."

Lu Ji rubbed his forehead and said, "After returning it, I will have nothing to do with the Evil God Sect anymore."

"If you say that, I feel relieved."

……

It is not yet the hour of Mao.

Chen Sanshi, who had been in seclusion for two days, got up early to work.

After taking over as the commander-in-chief, he became busier than before. In addition to the military, he also had to deal with a lot of government affairs. For example, he was also responsible for finishing the disaster relief work that his master had not been able to handle.

In addition, government orders came from above.

It is said that starting from this year, half-mature spiritual grass should be planted on every acre of land.

The taxes in Liangzhou may not be too heavy compared to other places, but with the addition of half-cultivated spiritual crops, I am afraid that the little surplus food of the people will be drained out, and every household will become penniless.

In this regard, he could only submit a memorial hoping that the court would change its mind.

Another half month has passed.

The decree regarding their mourning period finally arrived.

One year!
They were only left with one year to observe mourning.

The reason given is very plausible.

That's probably what it means.

At that time, the military genius Yu Shanggong observed mourning for three years.

But to Dasheng, respect was more important than to the Zhou Dynasty, so it was only necessary to observe mourning for one year.

and……

Fourth brother didn’t come back.

It is said that he was granted a title of nobility and settled in the capital.

I don’t know when we will meet next time.

"Commander, something happened!"

Xia Cong rushed into the tent in a hurry: "Something happened in Dongyi City!"

"Dongyi City?"

Chen Sanshi put down the file in his hand and said, "As I recall, isn't Dongyi City the place responsible for guarding barbarian captives?"

Battle of Youzhou.

Many barbarian soldiers were captured.

Some of them were detained in Dongyi City, with a number of about 20,000.

"Yes, something happened to the prisoner!"

Xia Cong reported: "Last night at the second watch, several tribal leaders suddenly led more than 20,000 people, under the banner of revenge for the barbarians, and said they were going to counterattack Liangzhou. However, General Lu soon led the Xuanwu Camp to suppress them."

"Where are they now?"

Chen Sanshi stood up and asked.

"They are all...dead."

Xia Cong paused and said, "More than 20,000 people were slaughtered."

Chen Sanshi's eyes became deep.

Twenty thousand people.

It was originally intended to be digested slowly. Whether it was used to build city walls or to raise horses in the future, it would be a savings.

The key is……

The barbarian headquarters is gone, and there is not even a Xuanxiang among the 20,000 people. How can they think of counterattacking Liangzhou? Isn't that just courting death?
Fools know it.

There is something fishy going on.

Senior brother...

Chen Sanshi had the ability to observe qi, and he had noticed long ago that he had started to practice the way of incense and fire.

I guess it was given by the emperor after the incident at Ziwei Mountain.

Thinking back to the evil way that the prince practiced...

He could probably guess what had happened.

Twenty thousand barbarians died.

Chen Sanshi was not very sympathetic.

after all.

If the blood sacrifice had been successful, these people from the Central Plains would have become second-class people or even slaves.

But this matter cannot be ignored.

"I see, you go down."

Chen Sanshi left the tent and went straight to the Weiwu Marquis Mansion. When passing by the government office, he saw a case being tried in public, but there was something wrong with the person trying the case.

Great prosperity.

If any case occurs among the people, the county government is usually responsible for handling it.

Even in each prefectural city, there were government offices attached to the county, instead of the prefects, to handle matters.

However, since Liangzhou City was a provincial capital, the cases were directly heard by the prefect.

But at this moment, the person sitting in the court was not the prefect, but...

Qu Yuanxiang!
Two days of retreat.

When Chen Sanshi heard that this monk wanted to experience the secular world, he relied on his gold medal and no one dared to mess with him, so he interfered in government affairs everywhere, and basically did things in a chaotic manner. It seemed that he wanted to experience the thrill of trying a case again today.

"That~"

Qu Yuanxiang drank his wine, squinting at a woman and a thin man kneeling in the audience, and asked vaguely, "Who in the audience wants to... want to sue your uncle?"

The woman choked up and said, "My husband was out doing business, and his brother raped me by force!"

Qu Yuanxiang looked at the skinny man who looked like a chicken and asked, "Is this true?"

"My lord, this is absolutely not the case!"

The man shook his head repeatedly: "This woman is a vicious person. My brother has been missing for a long time. Last night I found her having an affair with the housekeeper. I wanted to file a complaint with the government, but I didn't expect that she would notice it. The evil person filed a complaint against me first. Sir, you must be more careful!"

"That Pan!"

Qu Yuanxiang raised his eyebrows: "This Immortal Master will ask you one last time, are you telling the truth?"

"truth!"

The woman swore, "It's absolutely true."

"it is good!"

Qu Yuanxiang suddenly took out the command arrow in front of him, pointed at a yamen clerk who was as thin as a man, and said, "You, in front of everyone, defile this Pan in front of me!"

"what?"

The clerk was stunned: "Master, are you kidding me?!"

"Do whatever you're told to do!"

Qu Yuanxiang shouted coldly: "Otherwise, I'll chop off your head!"

"Pan, I'm so sorry!"

The clerk dared not disobey the order and could only pounce on the woman in public.

The woman had not expected this to happen and fought back desperately.

The two of them actually started fighting in public.

The woman looked like a wealthy family, and it was not an exaggeration to describe her figure as "strong and healthy".

In contrast, the already skinny official looked like a monkey. He struggled for a long time but not only did he fail to succeed, but he got his face scratched and blood all over his body.

"you."

Qu Yuanxiang appointed another person: "Charge! Help!"

"I, obey!"

result.

The two of them were unable to hurt Pan at all.

"Snapped!"

"enough!"

In the court, Qu Yuanxiang slammed the gavel down and made the final decision: "Neither of them can catch you, which shows that you are talking nonsense. Your uncle is innocent! Come, drag this Pan and their housekeeper away and put them in jail!"

"Ouch!"

The man burst into tears of gratitude: "Oh, my Lord!"

There is no injustice in the case.

Because Chen Sanshi noticed that the housekeeper had already run away.

It just doesn't mean things are okay.

He could see contempt in the eyes of the drunken monk, contempt for everyone here, as if everything here was just a chess piece used in this man's game.

Let him continue to mess around...

But this person has a high level of cultivation and a gold medal in his hand.

Chen Sanshi had no choice but to leave and go to the residence of Marquis Weiwu.

Led by his servants, he came to the yard and saw the bloody Lu Ji taking off his armor in the yard. Nie Yuan was discussing something with him in a low voice beside him.

"Junior brother?"

Lu Ji said in a deep voice: "How come you have time to come to me?"

"Big Brother, this should be very clear."

Chen Sanshi looked at the blood on his body and there was no need to say anything more.

"Oh."

Nie Yuan quickly stepped forward to explain: "Well, last night, those barbarians who had already surrendered suddenly rebelled again. It happened suddenly, and you were in seclusion. Fortunately, Senior Brother came in time..."

"Tell the truth." Chen Sanshi interrupted.

Nie Yuan was stunned for a moment, then insisted: "Junior brother, I am telling the truth."

"Third senior brother."

Chen Sanshi closed his eyes: "I don't want to argue with you, and there is no need for you to lie to me. It's better to tell the truth."

"Brother, what you said, I have to...

Nie Yuan wanted to say something, but was stopped by the senior brother.

"Junior brother."

Lu Ji looked directly into the eyes of the man in white robe and said frankly, "I arranged everything and killed the people for the purpose of offering sacrifice to the evil god. But I didn't do it to improve my strength. I was anxious to save my master and everyone in Youzhou, so I signed a contract with the evil god and owed him 20,000 blood food in exchange for strength. If I don't pay back the blood food, I won't be able to get rid of the evil god. Under his influence, I might gradually become a demon. And I don't think I'm wrong. Those barbarians don't deserve sympathy. The reason I didn't discuss it with you in advance was because I was worried that you wouldn't agree."

He explained the whole story and his own difficulties in one breath.

"Big Brother, that's satisfying."

Chen Sanshi was quite satisfied with this answer. There was no expression on his face, and his tone was calm and unquestionable: "You are right, they don't deserve sympathy, but Senior Brother is overstepping his authority after all. I am the governor of Liangzhou. You should have told me about such a big thing anyway. If I don't agree, you can't do it."

"Junior brother, you have such great authority!"

Nie Yuan said unhappily, "Big Brother had no choice but to do this! He didn't tell you because he felt that the Evil God Way was something that couldn't be brought to light. If you agree, it would be embarrassing for you if the news got out in the future."

"Third brother, shut up."

Lu Ji showed no shame on his face. He just said, "It is true that my junior brother is the commander-in-chief, but according to the court rules, if you want to deal with the governor, you must get the approval of the cabinet."

"I won't submit a petition, and I don't intend to punish you, Senior Brother."

Chen Sanshi looked at him and said, "This time, considering that Senior Brother owed the debt to the evil god in order to save Master, Senior Brother, and Buqi, I can pretend that I don't know.

"I come.

“I just want to tell you, brother, take care of yourself.

"I don't want you and I, fellow disciples, to ever come to blows with swords in the future."

"Junior brother, please be more respectful when speaking to our senior brother! Our master is gone, and our elder brother is like a father! How can you say something like "point swords at each other"?"

Nie Yuan said indignantly: "And to put it bluntly, it was thanks to my senior brother's breakthrough to the late stage of spiritual communication through the evil way that he was able to suppress Qu Yuanxiang and make him restrain himself in his daily life!

“Junior brother, you have only just broken through to the Martial Saint level, and have not yet broken through to the Martial Saint level that Master has passed down to you.

"If it really comes to a so-called 'sword duel', I'm afraid you are no match for the eldest brother."

"That's all."

Chen Sanshi clasped his fists and saluted: "Big Brother, Third Brother, goodbye!"

"Junior brother, please stay."

Lu Ji said in a deep voice: "Brother, I also want to tell you something. You stayed in Liangzhou under the pretext of mourning. Is that intentional? Brother, I advise you not to go against the court. Master is gone, and we can't win...

“No matter what your plans are, I hope that you can come to the capital in a year according to the imperial decree. You will still be the Marquis of Guanjun and the Commander-in-Chief of Beiliang, and you can still lead troops to fight in the future.

“And I will stay in Liangzhou.

"You and I are two brothers, one inside and one outside. We just need to be careful and we will be able to protect everyone in the sect.

"But if you continue to do something out of line, it will only implicate everyone."

Chen Sanshi stopped but did not look back. After a short pause, he continued walking forward and quickly left the Weiwu Marquis Mansion.

"Supervisor!"

"Oh no!"

“The people are making a commotion.”

"After the imperial court posted the notice that it would harvest half of the remaining spiritual grain starting this year, people in more than a dozen villages started to make a fuss."

Before he could return to the military camp, he was found by Zhao Kang.

"No matter how chaotic it is, we should focus on appeasement and not let bloodshed occur. I will try to persuade the court again."

Chen Sanshi paused and said, "Also, I am going to be in seclusion for a while. If there is anything important, please send it to the Governor's Mansion before dark today, and then leave it to General Lu and the others to handle."

"Retreat?"

Zhao Kang didn't ask any more questions: "I understand."

Mourning, spiritual grain tax, immortal master...

Chen Sanshi had only been the commander-in-chief for a few months, but he felt that the time had passed as long as the past few years, because he felt like there was a mountain pressing down on him all the time, making it difficult for him to breathe.

The name of this mountain is "Huang Ming".

The emperor’s order cannot be disobeyed!

But at the end of the day.

The source of everything is just one word.

weak!
Or rather, it’s still not strong enough.

There is no way to refuse anything you don't want to do.

He couldn't waste time like this any longer.

Return to the Governor's Mansion.

Zhao Zhao was chasing and playing with Chen Yunxi, and when Chen Sanshi passed by him, he grabbed her shoulder.

"It hurts!"

Zhao Zhao bared his teeth and said, "Mr. Chen, what are you doing? Men and women should not touch each other. Get out of here, get out of here!"

"Pack your things and follow me."

Chen Sanshi added: "Bring the spirit boat."

"Spiritual boat?"

Zhao Zhao immediately knew where to go, and reluctantly parted with Chen Yunxi: "Oh, I know."

Ozefang Market!

Chen Sanshi's mission is to find the natural treasures that can unlock the spirit of the human body.

A warrior with real strength is comparable to a warrior in the late stage of Qi Refining.

After this.

You want him to go to that damn capital city again?

You need to ask the Longdan Silver Spear in your hand whether it agrees.

This game of chess is a stalemate.

If you want to break the situation, you have to use force.
