Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 132: Raising a Dragon in the Abyss

"General."

"grown ups."

When the five garrisons of An Ning Guard heard the news, they were already waiting outside the general's mansion.

In addition to Ning Zhongtian, Lu Jun, and Feng Yu, there is also a middle-aged general named Guan Xinrong, and a young man named Duan Yu who looks no different from a scholar.

Cao Wei was the first to dismount.

He didn't even look at the remaining people and went straight towards Feng Yu and Guan Xinrong.

"Tell me, what happened?"

As he spoke, he walked towards the general's mansion.

Ning Zhongtian and the other two had no intention of following along and getting themselves into trouble.

Since the great demon rebellion.

Cao Wei took charge of everything and did not allow them to get involved in the affairs of the Ghost Sect.

The ghost demon appeared.

There is a high probability that the Ghost Cult is behind this. Even if they go, Cao Wei will not let them interfere.

At this time.

Jiang Linxian jumped off the horse.

"Xiao Duan, when I went to Yunzhou this time, I saw your father, and he was still as charming as ever."

Duan Yu raised his lips and said, "Master Jiang, my father is also in Yunzhou?"

Jiang Linxian smiled and nodded: "This time, Lord Duan happened to come to Yunzhou for the military affairs."

Military and political assessment is the term used by the imperial court to assess military officers, which is conducted every three years.

In addition, there are also the imperial examinations and major plans.

The ones who are assessed on major plans are the external officials, who are the officials outside the capital.

The assessment of officials in the capital is called Jingcha, which is different from the Daji.

The State of Yu had a vast territory.

It is impractical to ask officials from all over the country to come to Beijing to report. Only officials above the third rank are required to do so. The others will be assessed by imperial envoys selected by the emperor to represent the emperor's will.

The imperial envoy in charge of the military and political affairs of Annan Town this time was Duan Yu's father, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Duan Qian, a third-rank official.

There is a misunderstanding in the world.

The statement that the Shangshu and the Shilang are in a superior-subordinate relationship is actually problematic.

The Shangshu and Shilang are both hall officials, but with different ranks.

In theory, the assistant minister could meet the emperor directly without having to listen to the minister.

But in practice, the assistant minister often does not go to extremes, which makes people mistakenly believe that the minister is the assistant minister's superior, but in fact this is not the case.

Any official who can see the emperor cannot be easily offended.

It was thanks to his father's connections that Duan Yu was able to get a good job in Anningwei.

Ning Zhongtian and Lu Jun looked at each other.

Tsk tsk.

It’s good to have someone behind you, Jiang Linxian will greet you personally.

Ning Zhongtian saw the opportunity and took the opportunity to speak: "Master Jiang, the matter of the Ghost Sect."

Jiang Linxian glanced at the lobby of the general's mansion with a half-smile: "Since General Cao wants to take charge, then just let him do it."

"Yes!"

With Jiang Linxian's words, Ning Zhongtian naturally let it go.

Jiang Linxian's heart moved slightly.

Now is the year of military administration.

Of course, the assessment will not end so quickly. He is joining the army and only needs to complete his supervisory duties. But it is different for Cao Wei. If the Ghost Cult in his jurisdiction makes too much trouble, he will definitely be held accountable, and the pressure is enormous.

He knew exactly what Cao Wei was thinking.

The previous demonic chaos was most likely caused by an attempt to please the Fifth Prince and search for the magical power of the Ghost Sect.

This was undoubtedly something Jiang Linxian could not tolerate.

To be precise, it was something that the Lord of Dragon Court could not tolerate.

If Cao Wei refuses to change his ways, then he can only take this young Lord Duan to see his father whom he has not seen for a long time, and talk about Cao Wei's affairs.

I believe that the imperial envoy sent by the emperor will definitely stand on their side.

"What are these people doing out here?"

Li Rui looked at the soldiers coming in and out of the military camp.

this time.

Cao Wei kept sending people out to search the mountain.

I heard a lot of complaints.

Ge Hong gloated, "Of course we have to go find the demon that broke into the garrison. I heard that the military and political envoy has learned about this and ordered General Cao to arrest him within a certain time."

The purpose of establishing An Ning Wei in Qinghe was for the emperor to show his determination to destroy the Guiming Sect.

As a result, the Ghost Cult has not been destroyed yet, and the demons raised by the Ghost Cult have instead run into the base camp of the An Ning Guard and caused trouble. This was simply a slap in the face of the imperial court and the emperor.

How can I bear it?

"Fortunately, it has nothing to do with us."

They are Jiang Linxian's people, not to mention that Cao Wei may not be able to command them.

Even if I could give the order, I'm worried that they would interfere, so I don't feel comfortable leaving such matters to them.

So he and Li Rui were both happy to have some free time.

Li Rui's heart moved slightly.

Ghost demon?

The ghosts and demons all turned into blood and flowed deep into the underground to feed the earthworms.

How could Cao Wei have imagined that the ghost monster he was looking for with great fanfare had already been killed by Li Rui in the tunnel.

There was no way Li Rui could tell this story.

All efforts are doomed to be in vain.

Ge Hong: "Brother Li, do you think the ghost is still in Qinghe?"

Li Rui analyzed seriously: "Nine out of ten have already fled to other counties. It will be difficult for General Cao to catch them!"

It's none of your business.

Li Rui and Ge Hong quickly changed the subject.

"Brother Li, how is your practice of Flying Dragon in the Sky?"

"that's it."

Li Rui's answer was completely within Ge Hong's expectations.

Are there really talents everywhere on the streets?
The number of eighth-grade people who can cultivate qi is less than one-tenth of the number of Liujin realm warriors, and without exception, they are all geniuses among the major sects and forces.

Li Rui is a 70-year-old man. If he wanted to master it, he would have done it long ago. Why did he have to wait until now?
"No chance."

Ge Hong certainly would not speak out his inner thoughts: "Brother Li, I have learned a lot from studying the "Hundred Swords Demon Slayer Diagram" these days, and my bottleneck has loosened. Maybe I can break through it in some time."

"This is a great joyous event."

Ge Hong is now 42 or 43 years old. He has stayed in the Tonggu Realm for more than ten years.

As the saying goes, a tree that is moved will die, but a person who moves will live.

After being the owner of Tiedao Martial Arts School for more than ten years, he had difficulty making any progress. But after leaving the school, he showed signs of a breakthrough.

Ge Hong was in a very good mood: "Brother Li, when you comprehend the true qi, you and I will enter the realm of willow tendons together, and we will definitely be praised in the Qinghe River and Lake."

Li Rui smiled and shook his head:

"I'm old, I just want to have fun, you really take it seriously."

Ge Hong encouraged him: "In ancient times, there were saints who realized the truth at the age of seventy and then became saints. Brother Li will surely be able to do the same. An old horse in the stable has a thousand-mile ambition!"

Li Rui: "Even though the tortoise lives a long time, it still has its end. It is old and useless. It still has to rely on you young people."

Ge Hong was in no position to persuade him any further.

After all, he also felt that if he continued to persuade her, it would seem fake.

He saw that sage in unofficial history.

How wild is unofficial history.

Let's just put it that way.

It also says that the last emperor of the previous dynasty had six eyes, eight legs, a green face and fangs.

That thing is still a human being.

A fake look.

Therefore, Ge Hong also felt that the story of the old saint who attained enlightenment at the age of seventy and was passed down to later generations was most likely fabricated, or was the result of deliberate exaggeration by later generations in order to elevate their ancestors.

"Brother Li, why don't we have a competition to see who breaks through first, and then I'll treat you to a drink."

Li Rui chuckled: "If you want to drink, just tell me. I'll treat you."

After saying that, the two of them smiled at each other.

Being in the same situation and having similar experiences, the two became close friends regardless of age difference.

It’s just a friendship regardless of age difference.

Ge Hong was only forty-five, while Li Rui was already seventy-two.

In the State of Yu, if Li Rui had been faster, he would have been Ge Hong's grandfather.

Ge Hong's eyes became resolute:

"Brother Li, it's time for Qinghe to produce a seventh-grade one!"

Of course there are seventh-rank masters in Qinghe City.

But there is not a single person of the seventh rank from Qinghe, and this situation has lasted for seven or eight years.

The previous seventh grade.

It was Ge Hong's master, and he wanted to extend his master's term for another fifty years.

Half a month passed.

Of course, it was impossible for Cao Wei to find the ghost or demon that broke into the military camp. He made a lot of noise and finally returned empty-handed.

Of course Jiang Linxian wouldn't be polite.

He actually took Lord Duan to Yunzhou.

I heard that they were finally stopped by Cao Wei on the official road. I don’t know the specific process, but the final result was that Jiang Linxian and Lord Duan both returned to Qinghe with smiles on their faces.

"Our Lord Cao must have lost a lot of money. In the end, even the Fifth Prince intervened to make this matter less serious."

Wei Ming said with great joy.

This time, Cao Wei suffered a serious setback.

It will last at least half a year.

In the military camp, people from Cao Ming's group all walked with their heads lowered.

"It's really refreshing."

Ge Hong also said happily: "It's a pity that those people from the Zhang family ran away, otherwise I really want to see how they look now!"

Speaking of the Zhang family.

Wei Ming just sighed.

"I dealt with Zhang Hao before, and he was considered a well-known figure. I didn't expect him to die like this."

Ge Hong was from Qinghe.

I am more aware of the power of the second master of the Zhang family.

"Things in life are unpredictable, so be careful."

Wei Ming is of the seventh rank, just like Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao will die suddenly, and so will he.

The journey of martial arts has always been difficult and dangerous.

Li Rui nodded: "You have to be more careful."

Wei Ming also nodded in agreement: "Qinghe is now different from when I first came here. It is really full of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and I heard that a deputy leader of Mingguang Sect has come. He is a sixth-rank leader."

Ge Hong took a breath of cold air.

Be nice.

Sixth grade.

The Tiandi Alliance is such a huge place, but before Ning Zhongtian broke through, the highest level was only the seventh rank.

Now in Qinghe City, the number of sixth-grade experts is probably more than five fingers.

There might even be stronger ones lurking.

Since the new city was built, more and more foreign forces have moved to Qinghe, and their strength has become more and more terrifying.

Although the Qinghe branch has sent Tang Sheng to take charge personally.

Now it seems a little unqualified.

"The abyss raises dragons, Brother Wei, Brother Ge, this is a great opportunity."

Li Rui said with a smile.

When Wei Ming heard this, he immediately laughed: "Brother Li, what you said makes a lot of sense. Shallow water is full of turtles. The deeper the water, the greater our chances."

This truth is very simple.

The more powerful people there are in Qinghe, the more resources will gather.

Most direct.

Seventh-grade elixirs were already very rare before, but now, after Danwangfang was taken over by Qingfeng Villa, they even sell sixth-grade elixirs.

Why is it so difficult for Qinghe to produce even one seventh-grade person?

Is it human that cannot do this?

That is only one aspect. More importantly, it is because of insufficient resources. It can be predicted that masters in Qinghe will emerge in large numbers like mushrooms after rain.

It may even be comparable to the weather in Anning Prefecture.

Although this situation is rare, it has happened in the State of Yu.

The giant dragon An Ningwei turned the small pond of Qinghe into an abyss.

Li Rui thought to himself.

"Good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand, only self-improvement can save you!"
