Shennong Sequence

Chapter 144: The Luck of Confucianism Appears
This time, the things stolen have absolutely nothing to do with him.

Zhao Yun expected that Commander Wang would have to offer a lot of things to someone above him...

When the light of dawn enveloped Yanshan County, Commander Wang finally rode out of the horse market.

Later, when they arrived at the entrance of the horse market, he reined in his horse and looked at Zhao Yun and Sun Zhengxuan: "Zhao Yun, after a crackdown last night, we did find the caravan that was harboring the assassins.

“However, after the people in the caravan saw us passing by, they realized that their attack had been exposed.

“So they were disobedient and resisted stubbornly, so I killed them one by one.

"Oh, by the way, do you want to take another look at their bodies?"

Commander Wang came up to Zhao Yun and asked with a sinister smile.

Zhao Yun saw the blood on Commander Wang's body, his strange tone, and the inexplicable murderous intent emanating from him...

"I was planning to kill Commander Wang last night. Has it been exposed?"

"But I just thought about it in my mind!"

"No, Commander Wang probably thought that this robbery was a big deal and wanted to use my death as a cover?"

Zhao Yun didn't dare to be alone, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since they are all dead, there is no point in seeing them. Why don't I go back to the garrison with my master to rest for a while?"

Commander Wang said: "Rest? Of course you can.

"However, I still have one thing to ask Sun Sinong. The Liu Neng (Liu the Butcher) that you trained and entered the rank was very ferocious last night! He quietly lurked beside County Magistrate Fang, chopped up a legal advisor beside County Magistrate Fang, and set fire to the city.

"Then he put on the clothes of a minister of agriculture, left the horse market under the cover of night, and committed murder again in the city, slaughtering the entire family of the lawyer, including his wife, sons and daughters... He was truly ferocious!

"I wonder if you have any special relationship with that butcher."

When Commander Wang said this,
Zhao Yun, who was standing by, was stunned.

Sun Zhengxuan narrated slowly:

“I am just responsible for guiding some people with farming cultivation talents to practice according to the rules.

"I have no other relationship with that Butcher Liu. We should arrest him and deal with it as it should be."

Commander Wang was not very satisfied with Sun Zhengxuan's answer, but he could only nod and say:

“Okay, with what Sun Sinong said, I know what to do.

“Then you two should go back to the garrison and rest first. But remember, after you return to the garrison, don’t come out again, in case there are other assassins appearing.

"In addition, King You and General Dong Can will also arrive tomorrow. You should stay alert today. This afternoon, the clothes made for you will be ready and brought to the garrison for you to try on..."

"Okay, then we'll go back first." Sun Zhengxuan said, and prepared to whip his horse to take Zhao Yun out of the entrance of the horse market.

Commander Wang followed closely and instructed the soldiers who had been guarding Zhao Yun, Sun Zhengxuan and the others all night: "You escort Zhao Sinong and Sun Sinong back to the garrison, and strengthen the guard of the garrison..."

But Sun Zhengxuan said unhappily: "Don't bother the commander, you should think about how to deal with the big troubles after taking away all the caravan's property!"

Commander Wang laughed in a low voice, "Haha, what's the trouble? Caravans transporting contraband will be executed on the spot. As for those caravans that abide by the law, I will naturally not disturb their normal business..."

"Then you dare to seize the caravans of more than a dozen princes and nobles?" Sun Zhengxuan said indifferently.

When he was hanging around in the Divine Capital Academy, he suffered a great loss at the hands of the princes and nobles who had inherited the throne for thousands of years because of his youthful recklessness. That's why he has been wasting time in the border islands and dares not go back!

Now this Commander Wang is even more daring, provoking more than a dozen princes at a time.

How powerful must one’s cultivation be to be able to withstand revenge?

Or do you think that you can become arrogant just because you have made some achievements?
The world will teach people how to behave...

Then he took Zhao Yun, whipped his horse, and went straight out of the horse market.

However, the two did not return to the guard post directly, but instead took a detour and went to the Yanshan County Sinongjian.

On the way, Sun Zhengxuan explained to Zhao Yun: "That Commander Wang is absolutely crazy. At the entrance of the horse market, among the carriages pulling goods past us, I saw at least 13 royal family crests.

“If he dares to copy caravans with these backgrounds, there’s no reason for him to let go of other caravans.

"This time the trouble is too big. I don't think we need to go back to the garrison. Let's stay at the Sinong Supervisor's place first. I'll see what Li Sinong says later.

"In addition, I am still waiting to contact some people to help me see if I can pull you out of this incident of raiding those caravans, so that you won't be implicated when the princes and nobles seek revenge later."

Zhao Yun had never played politics, but he had read history books in his previous life!
The princes and nobles in ordinary history all played fancy, extravagant, and brutal games...

Then let’s take a look at a divine dynasty that has existed for ten thousand years. There are nobles who have experienced several cycles of ebb and flow of spiritual energy and are still able to share weal and woe with the country. Perhaps the generation of lords who conquered the world are still alive!
How could a commoner who had just started practicing cultivation fight against such a huge monster?

Besides, if you are weak and can't beat them, then don't provoke them.

In this way, it is difficult for people who are not in the same circle to come into contact with each other.

Naturally, there are very few things that disgust each other...

Zhao Yun thought about it and said angrily:

"Commander Wang is really unkind to do this! He wants money, fame, and achievements, but he searches for caravans one by one in the name of revenge for me, and steals money in the name of finding the assassin... I think he has been prepared for this, and he wants to put the blame on me."

"In addition, Commander Wang was able to call over 5000 guards from Yanmen Pass. It is clear that he has already planned to suppress the horse market."

"Perhaps the so-called assassin from Tianyun Country and the Miao coroner were all set up by Commander Wang!"

"I'm afraid he wants to put the blame on me so that he can get promoted and make a fortune..."

Sun Zhengxuan didn't expect that Zhao Yun, a farmer's boy, could see so far after only practicing Taoism for a month!
It seems that this practitioner has good aptitude, that is, he is intelligent, and can understand the world through reading.

Sun Zhengxuan consoled Zhao Yun:

"Commander Wang, with all the drama going on, how can he get promoted or make a fortune?"

"I guess, when the time comes, he will be promoted to the army over there, and then we will tell him that this is a great opportunity for him to continue to make meritorious contributions. We will let him be a general who charges into battle at the front line to resist the invasion of the barbarians!"

"If he survives, he deserves to continue to be promoted and make money. If he doesn't survive, then everything will be gone!" "Do you really think that you can achieve anything?"

"But you are indeed implicated. Even if you explain things to those noble families, some of them will listen to your explanation. But some people have been accustomed to flattery since birth, and they are arrogant and will never listen to advice..."

"So, you should also be prepared to be attacked by some powerful people in the future..."

Even though Zhao Yun was angry, he could do nothing.

I can only hope that Master Sun can see how we can communicate so as to minimize the impact of this matter on me.

And if you are really strong, it doesn't matter if you fight hard. At least you have the means to protect yourself.

But now he is only a Sequence 9, a young cultivator who has just entered the sequence for less than a month. His ability to resist various catastrophic states is too weak, and he cannot be compared with those princes and nobles who have inherited the throne for thousands of years.

Not to mention the hunting order issued by the barbarians. There are assassins rushing from all directions all the time, trying to kill him!
This is undoubtedly a huge threat to his life.

"What happened? I haven't done anything yet, but I've offended so many forces... It's so hard for me."

Sun Zhengxuan and Zhao Yun left Yanshan County from the west gate.

And because they were riding horses, they got rid of the soldiers who had been following them and were instructed by the king's commander to protect their safety.

Then he ran along the city wall all the way to the South Gate and entered from the South Gate.

Then walk a little further and you will reach the Sinongjian.

However, when Zhao Yun just entered from the south gate, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Following a certain feeling in my heart, I turned my head to look at the place behind the city gate, and saw a thin little girl kneeling alone on the stone floor. There was a line of words written in front of her: Selling myself to bury my father.

But she is small and thin, so few people want her.

But when Zhao Yun looked over, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Moreover, in this seemingly normal morning market at the city gate, only this thin girl who was selling herself to bury her father seemed particularly different!
"My body has been strengthened after several skill upgrades, and I have also been purified by my magic power. My strength is about 3,000 kilograms. This physique is extremely strong!"

"My heart wouldn't suddenly start beating fast. There must be something unusual about that girl... or is there something rare and precious on that girl that attracted my spiritual sense?"

Zhao Yun thought about it for a moment and then looked at his master in front of him.

But the master continued to ride steadily and slowly, seemingly unaware of anything unusual.

But for practitioners, spiritual perception is a very important warning, and they must not be numb and neglect it.

It’s about yourself!

Zhao Yun hurriedly said, "Master, wait a moment."

When Sun Zhengxuan heard the shout, he stopped and looked back, only to see Zhao Yun, who was several meters away from him.

"What's the matter?" Sun Zhengxuan asked with a slight frown.

"My heart skipped a beat."

Zhao Yun realized that he was still in the busy city, so he patted the mare and asked her to take a few steps forward. Then he came to Master Sun and whispered, "My heart has been beating fast since I entered the city gate!"

Sun Zhengxuan pondered for a moment and asked, "But does it feel like a lesion? An external curse invading? Or is it just a random beat?"

Zhao Yun intentionally let the magic power flow through his heart, and really felt his heart. "I have a strong physique, so there is no chance that my heart will suddenly have problems. And the heart is intact after the magic power flows through it. I don't find any traces of external force intrusion. There is no warning of danger that makes your scalp numb. It is really just a kind of beating between chance, as if it is a kind of beating in the mind."

"A little more in tune?"

Sun Zhengxuan understood that from the moment a practitioner embarked on the practice, it was actually a process of taking the shortcut.

The internal circulation of heaven and earth also includes every practitioner.

Therefore, there are often some mysterious inductions that come to us.

It's just that some people have good aptitude and can be in tune with the Tao, so they can receive more responses from heaven and earth, which is manifested in faster cultivation, more enlightenment, higher spiritual perception, and so on.

So, Zhao Yun suddenly called him, because his spiritual sense sensed something in the dark!
Sun Zhengxuan looked around and everything was still the same as usual, with people walking by, setting up stalls, selling their bodies, and so on.

Lively and sad scenes are happening every moment.

However, I didn't find any abnormal situation.

Sun Zhengxuan looked at Zhao Yun again: "Among the sounds of the wells and markets around here, there is only one abnormal point in your eyes. Where do you feel it? Let's check it out.

"In addition, when this mind is connected, there will definitely be some opportunities related to you happening around you!

"We should investigate while we are free, so that we don't miss something when we suddenly remember this incident at an important juncture in the future. We will regret it later."

Zhao Yun also examined the surrounding situation again, but when he saw the little girl again, he felt that there was something wrong with her, as if there was an attraction, or something deeper that was attracting him.

However, there was no reaction to the yellow cloth in his sea of ​​consciousness. Obviously, this kind of attraction was not a confusing state for him.

Then, Zhao Yun gave the final answer: "It's the girl who sold herself to bury her father! Every time I glance at her, I am always attracted by something about her. I don't know if it is an object on her body, or maybe it is her herself."

"Let's go over and take a look."

Sun Zhengxuan also sensed the little girl and found that she was just an ordinary malnourished child...

Sun Zhengxuan walked up to the little girl and asked, "Little girl, where is your home? How much money do you want to sell yourself to bury your father?"

The little girl looked at the two people leading the horses and knew that they were either rich or noble, so she immediately replied:

"My family is a fisherman by the You River. My mother passed away a long time ago. The day before yesterday, my father was attacked by a monster in the water while fishing. Only half of his body was left. Later, Wu Xiangyong helped to fish him out and sent him back home.

“But the surrounding land belongs to Master Cui. If I want to bury my father, I need to give Master Cui some money and buy a straw mat for my father.

"So I will sell myself for three taels of silver. After I settle my father, I will be a slave for the rest of my life."

Zhao Yun looked at the beautiful handwriting in front of the little girl and asked in confusion, "Who wrote these words on the ground for you?"
