Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 177 One person does not count as spring, everything is born!
Haishi.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the big red lanterns of Zuixian Tower are hung high.

In the private room on the top floor.

Gao Zhen and Zhuang Renhe sat across the table from each other.

"Brother Gao, I thought you would choose Chunyan Tower or Jiaofangsi."

Zhuang Renhe smiled.

He might be the only person in Qinghe City who knew Gao Zhen's identity, and he was fully aware of Gao Zhen's recent absurd behavior.

Gao Zhen changed his usual dandy look and said seriously like a weak scholar:

"These are just tasks assigned by the ancestors."

"Task?"

Zhuang Renhe became interested.

He felt from the beginning that Gao Zhen’s coming to An Ning Wei would definitely not be so simple.

Gao Zhen nodded: "Yes, Master asked me to kill a few people. If County Magistrate Zhuang is convenient, please lend me a hand."

talking.

He dipped his finger in the wine in the glass and wrote down the names on the table.

"Green Clothes, Peach Heart Tan Hu, Li Rui, Ning Zhongtian."

When Zhuang Renhe saw Ning Zhongtian, his brows furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river).

"Ning Zhongtian?"

This list is completely unrelated. It first lists a dozen prostitutes from Chunyan Tower, and then the officials and soldiers of Anningwei.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

The list of brothel girls that his men had sent him a few days ago came to his mind.

Most of the names match what Gao Zhen wrote.

“What a cunning man!”

The list contained the women who were tortured to death by Gao Zhen. Obviously, although Gao Zhen looked ridiculous on the surface, he actually did it on purpose.

Under the guise of lust, he completed the tasks assigned by the ancestor.

Even Zhuang Renhe was almost fooled.

"This Ning Zhongtian is the garrison commander of the An Ning Guard. If we forcefully attack him, it will involve too many people."

Zhuang Renhe groaned.

Gao Zhen chuckled: "Brother Zhuang, you are joking. I am a newcomer to the Dragon Gate. I can't beat Lord Ning even if I fight."

"What should Brother Gao do then?"

He could tell that Gao Zhen had another plan.

Gao Zhen raised his glass, took a sip, and grinned: "I can't kill him, but someone can."

"Oh?"

"Cao Wei is a member of the Xuan Party. As far as I know, Jiang Linxian has a very good relationship with the Wenxian Tower. The owner of the Wenxian Tower is now the director of the Imperial Observatory."

He did not continue.

Zhuang Renhe narrowed his eyes and spat out two words: "Party strife?"

Gao Zhen smiled and nodded.

In the officialdom, if you want to kill someone, you don't necessarily have to use a knife or a gun.

Instead, we should learn to take advantage of the situation.

It's normal for some ants to die when the two parties are fighting each other, right?
There was a flash of surprise in Zhuang Renhe's eyes. He was quite familiar with this Shoubei Gao. He heard that he was accepted as a disciple by the Blood Shadow Patriarch just a few years ago. Before that, he had always been a well-behaved member of the Gao family and had never been in the underworld or officialdom.

I thought he was a rookie.

I didn't expect that he would be so scheming.

"This kid is a born bad guy."

He commented in his heart, but said: "Brother Gao is very resourceful. I admire you. But there is still one thing I don't understand. Why did the ancestor want these people?"

Gao Zhong said two words with a smile: "Immortal Venerable."

"Immortal Lord?!"

Zhuang Renhe's pupils suddenly shrank.

"The Immortal Venerable said that he doesn't like the cause and effect of Qinghe."

"Tiezhu, you have already entered the rank?"

Li Rui looked at Liu Tiezhu, who had a simple and honest face, in disbelief.

How long have you been practicing martial arts?

Three months?
How did it get into the product?
Liang He also widened his eyes and looked at Liu Tiezhu as if he was looking at a monster.

"You have already entered the rank so easily, then what am I?!"

Liang He was not jealous, only envious.

It took him several years to finally reach the rank under Li Rui's guidance. Liu Tiezhu, on the other hand, became a ninth-rank warrior without knowing it.

Li Rui bent over and looked at him for a long time before straightening up.

"The natural diamond fruit is really extraordinary."

The ninth-grade stone skin is just a realm for strengthening the physical body. As long as the body is strong enough, one can reach the level without practicing martial arts.

He had already read in books that those who were born as Vajra could improve very quickly in the first three levels.

Tan Hu is an excellent example.

Ning Zhongtian was already a genius, but he was still nearly thirty-five or thirty-six years old. It was only with the help of the Annan Army's resources that he broke through to Liujin.

But in the Northwest Frontier Army, Tan Hu must have relied on pure fighting and killing to become a strong man naturally.

Terrible.

"But even Brother Tan seems to have spent a full six months."

Li Rui asked Liu Tiezhu in detail about his recent practice and finally confirmed it.

It was due to the Changchun Gong and the Xuanqing Qi injected into Liu Tiezhu's body.

"Changchun, Changchun, when one tree grows, all things come to life"

Li Rui murmured.

I seemed to understand something.

One person does not count as spring, everything is born!
He himself did not expect that the Changchun Gong he created could actually help people practice.

Liu Tiezhu made a breakthrough, and the Xuanqing Qi nurtured in his body was also nourished by Qi and blood. As the Qi was nurtured for a long time, Li Rui would also benefit.

Perhaps this is the true meaning of Changchun.

"Wonderful, wonderful."

Li Rui nodded with a smile.

He seemed to see the door to a new world.

One person attains the Tao and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

His Changchun Gong can help people to practice cultivation, and after helping them, it can benefit themselves, which is wonderful!
"Tiezhu, come on, practice well, and you will have a bright future."

"Yes, Master."

Liu Tiezhu scratched his head.

He didn't go out until noon.

Li Rui and Liang He found something wrong and rushed into the house to ask.

Then he laughed and told him that he had reached the grade of the finest quality.

Liang He was happy for Liu Tiezhu from the bottom of his heart: "Junior brother, congratulations, when you become successful in the future, don't rely on me."

Do not know why.

Liu Tiezhu's eyes instantly turned red. Liang He was a little overwhelmed for a moment. As the eldest senior brother, of course he had to care about his only junior brother.

"Junior brother, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Tiezhu, a man, was choked with sobs and unable to speak.

Why?

moved.

I am not lying. The State of Yu implemented a household registration system, which was not simply registering people, but making strict divisions.

The lowly class is the lowly class, and they will be lowly class from generation to generation. The descendants of artisans will also be artisans, and the descendants of noble classes will be born rich.

His father is a blacksmith, so naturally he is also a blacksmith.

In the blacksmith shop, if you get benefits, you will not be praised, but will only be envied by the foreman. You will be happy at the time, but you will spit out everything afterwards, or even be beaten.

It's never been so heartwarming.

Master and senior brothers all give their sincere blessings.

Li Rui sighed softly.

Liu Tiezhu is a craftsman. He is even more miserable, a low-class person. Of course he understands the ups and downs of life.

He patted Liu Tiezhu's thick shoulders and said, "Since you have been stripped of your citizenship, you must change your way of life and make a break with the past."

"Yes, Master."

Liu Tiezhu had snot hanging from his nose, which fell onto his shoes as he nodded.

"Okay, you're a grown man, don't do this anymore."

Li Rui laughed.

Although Liu Tiezhu is born strong and is a blacksmith, he is actually a thoughtful and emotional man.

With his hands behind his back, he strolled out.

If the apprentice makes progress, the master can have less worries.

Whether your martial arts skills are good or not is secondary. If you have good character, then you won’t be bad.

In the military camp.

A group of people gathered around, talking in a buzzing voice.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

"I heard that he violated military discipline and was caught by Lord Gao, who chopped off one of his arms."

"Master Gao?"

"New garrison commander, you're such a fool."

intermediate.

A young man in armor was lying in a pool of blood, his right arm had been cut off, and Gao Zhong had his hands behind his back with a smile on his face.

"You have no respect for military discipline and steal weapons. You shall be executed!"

Gao Zhong's eyes suddenly became sharp, full of righteousness and selflessness.

At this time.

A sturdy man like a small tower rushed into the crowd.

His eyes were like a tiger ready to bite someone: "Gao, what do you mean?"

The injured people were the soldiers of the Benhu Cavalry.

Gao Zhen smiled slightly: "This man stole weapons and was caught red-handed. He should be executed according to military law. This knife is the evidence."

Tan Hu looked in the direction Gao Zhen pointed with bare eyes.

A standard long knife was soaked in blood.

"Just a knife can be considered a stolen weapon?"

Tan Hu knew clearly the habits of each of his soldiers, so he firmly believed that they would not do such a thing as stealing weapons.

Gao Zhen showed displeasure on his face: "I saw it with my own eyes, why?"

"Captain Tan doesn't even believe what I say."

Obviously.

If this is a case of using one's official position to oppress others, then Tan Hu is only a centurion, half a level lower, so he has no right to question Gao Zhen.

"you"

Tan Hu jumped up, veins bulging on his face.

He could allow his soldiers to die on the battlefield, but he would never allow them to be chopped down in the barracks for no reason.

He turned to look at the pale-faced Tang Hai.

Tang Hai shook his head desperately, trying to prove that he was innocent.

Tan Hu nodded towards Tang Hai.

"I know."

It was about to break out.

Li Rui's voice sounded behind him: "The matter has not been investigated yet, so you must not be rude to Mr. Gao."

Tan Hu turned his head.

Then I saw Li Rui appeared behind me.

"Brother Li, this matter."

Li Rui interrupted Tan Hu and looked at Gao Zhen: "Master Gao, even if this person deserves to die, he should be handed over to the Law Enforcement Hall for handling."

Gao Zhen snorted coldly:

"how?"

"The Law Enforcement Hall can kill him, but a garrison officer like me can't?"

Tan Hu's face became even colder.

Can it be killed?

Theoretically not.

But as we all know, theoretically something that is not possible is possible, and depending on the circumstances it is a must.

If a garrison officer kills a soldier, it would be considered a case of executing first and reporting later, which would at most lead to criticism.

The military is not a government agency and does not care about evidence.

Sometimes it is common to have several people die during daily training. It is not so bad for the Annan Army, but if it is a border army, an officer's words can decide the life or death of a soldier, and it may not even have the slightest impact.

Li Rui did not answer.

Instead, he turned sideways.

Ning Zhongtian appeared in the crowd. He looked at Tang Hai lying in a pool of blood, then looked at Gao Zhen, and snorted coldly:

"Master Gao, since my soldiers have made mistakes, I will naturally deal with them. Don't worry about it."

"Put it down."

Tan Hu became anxious when he heard this, but was stopped by Ning Zhongtian's eyes.

They had no choice but to take Tang Hai away forcibly.

When Gao Zhen saw Ning Zhongtian, he laughed and said, "So you are a soldier under Lord Ning. In that case, I won't waste my time."

Say it.

He turned around and walked out of the crowd.

He knew that Ning Zhongtian had appeared, and it would be impossible to kill Tang Hai today.

I secretly said:

"Unfortunately, one more person can be removed from the original list."
