Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 253 A Promising Young Man

County government lobby.

The former county magistrate is no longer in office, and the position of county magistrate is temporarily taken by county chancellor Zhong Zheng.

This is in line with the etiquette of the Yu Dynasty.

Before the new magistrate took office, Zhong Zheng was the magistrate of Qinghe.

"My Lords, the death of County Magistrate Zhuang was caused by the remnants of the Qi clan of the Wu Kingdom. There is physical evidence to prove it. Here is the file. Please take a look at it."

At Chai Jingong's signal.

Several officials from the Ministry of Justice's Office of Civil Service carried out a thick stack of files.

Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei casually flipped through a few pages and stopped reading.

They had already experienced the power of Doctor Chai before, so they would not make any mistakes.

Yan Zhongxing and Zhong Zheng looked at it carefully for a full hour.

The two were amazed at the detailed evidence provided by Chai Jingong.

"It was really the Qi clan thieves who did this!"

Yan Zhongxing said angrily.

Although he had already been certain that it was the remnants of the Qi family of the previous dynasty who did it, he became even more certain after seeing the files provided by Chai Jingong.

I saw that none of the four had any objections.

Chai Jingong then laughed and said, "Since you all have no objection, I will present this file to Your Majesty. You all know that this matter is urgent."

County Magistrate Zhong Zheng tried to persuade him to stay: "Master Chai, there is no need to rush today, why don't we..."

The words are not finished yet.

He was interrupted by Chai Jingong:
"Master Zhong, that's not necessary. We will leave today. There is still a long way to go."

"Forehead"

Zhong Zheng didn't expect Chai Jingong to react so strongly and was stunned for a moment.

I just went to listen to a song, is it necessary to have such a big reaction?

"I heard that Master Chai is henpecked. Well, this may be the reason."

Thinking of this, he smiled again: "If that's the case, let's do it another day."

Chai Jin respectfully said goodbye.

We left Qinghe that day.

It was as if there was some scary monster.

He is really scared.

Ever since he met the people sent by the Duke of Weiguo in Qinghe last time, he has been afraid of ropes. Moreover, when he first arrived, Governor Yuan specifically sent someone to convey a message, so how could he dare to stay for long.

I have been feeling very nervous these past few days.

Listen to music?

It's really not tough.

So Chai Jingong had to leave immediately no matter what.

'This is a very dangerous place.'

In front of the blacksmith shop.

Tie Kuang and Li Rui each held a pipe and squatted on tiptoe on the stone steps in front of the shop, puffing on them.

From time to time he would pick up the tobacco burning in the brass pot.

There was no one at the door.

Tie Kuang smoked while glancing at Li Rui.

Ever since I returned the knife that night.

It took more than half a month before Li Rui appeared in the shop again.

He could tell at a glance that Li Rui was clearly possessed.

But he had clearly used Dao Xie to train Li Rui's willpower before, so there was almost no possibility of him going astray in a short period of time.

So there is only one answer.

Li Rui was obsessed with it on purpose.

Then he thought about some things that happened in the city recently. Although he was working in the blacksmith shop all day, he was not like that silly boy Liu Tiezhu who turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside.

He had known about Zhuang Renhe's death a long time ago, and he even knew that there was a word "Qi" left at the place where Zhuang Renhe died.

Tie Kuang opened his mouth slowly, and his words were shocking: "So, it was you who killed Zhuang Renhe."

Li Rui's expression remained unchanged: "Senior, the one who killed Master Zhuang was a traitor from the Qi family."

“That’s right, keep your mouth shut. Even if I borrow your knife, it’s still a skill to be able to kill.”

Tie Kuang looked at Li Rui deeply, without listening to Li Rui's explanation at all, and a hint of admiration flashed across his face.

A sixth-grade killer kills a fifth-grade killer. What a good method.

"Young people are truly to be feared!"

'He is a young man with a promising future.'

He always thought that he was a good martial arts talent and had a lot of talent in fighting, but he also wondered if he could kill a fifth-grade Guanhai realm expert when he was at the sixth grade.

It takes a genius to challenge a higher level.

Especially when crossing a major realm, even though Li Rui has opened up the Qi Sea and has already reached the Guanhai Realm, there is still an insurmountable gap between him and a true Guanhai Realm powerhouse who has already developed the Qi Sea.

He looked at the magic sword in his arms.

"It's not in vain."

He regards this magic sword as his life. Even if the Golden Immortal comes, he will not lend it to him.

The only exception is Li Rui.

This time Li Rui borrowed the sword, and the first time the sword saw blood was when he killed someone above his level, which lived up to the reputation of the immortal soldier.

"If you run into trouble in the future, you can come to me. If you mess with someone above the third rank, don't come to me."

"Senior, you're welcome."

Li Rui chuckled.

My heart felt warm.

The old man Tie Kuang has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He is sure that if the old man has something to say, he will do it.

As for why he didn’t just ask Tie Kuang to take action before.

Tie Kuang is the grand elder of Shenbing Villa. He is not a free-spirited person. There is a manor behind him. If he takes action against an official appointed by the imperial court, it is inevitable that the entire sect will be implicated.

It is Li Rui's own fault and he must bear the consequences himself, and of course he should solve it himself if he can.

Of course, if the enemy is above level four.

Li Rui will probably go find Old Man Tie.

Tie Kuang grabbed Li Rui's shoulders, with a slight smile on his face: "Good boy, you have just opened up the Qi Sea, and now you are making progress. I'm afraid you will be able to enter the Guan Sea in a few years."

"Borrowing my senior's good words."

Li Rui laughed.

Tie Kuang looked at Li Rui, and the sound of tut-tutting never stopped:
"With a kid like you in Yunzhou, I'm afraid there will be no peace."

"Senior, I am a decent person."

Tie Kuang rolled his eyes.

Duty?

Regardless of whether Li Rui is truly doing his duty, any rising genius is bound to show his edge. Even if he does not kill anyone, others will always want to kill him.

It's something that has to be done.

In the past hundred years in Yunzhou, Tie Kuang has seen many people with outstanding talents.

Without exception, they all caused quite a stir in Yunzhou.

The most popular one among them is Jiang Linxian.

There used to be a powerful sect in Yunzhou, but it is gone now, because there was a feud between them before Jiang Linxian grew up, and then Jiang Linxian simply slaughtered the entire clan.

Not many people remember it now.

Li Rui is relatively more reserved, but he is bound to stir up trouble in Yunzhou.

The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

Tie Kuang looked up at the blazing sun in the sky:

"It's good to be young."

"Brother, Qinghe has been so busy during the time you were sick."

Ning Zhongtian said.

In addition to him, Ge Hong, Wei Ming and others were also sitting in the room.

They also knew that Li Rui had become possessed.

I heard that Li Rui was able to go out today, so I came to visit him.

"That's right, but I've been annoyed with Zhuang Renhe for a long time. It would be better if he died."

Tan Hu muttered.

Ever since he knew that Zhuang Renhe was behind the incident in Tang Hai, he had been shouting that he wanted to beat Zhuang Renhe to death. Now it had come true.

Zhuang Renhe is really dead.

"I heard that Governor Yuan came to Yunzhou yesterday, and he must be in Annan Town."

Wei Ming licked his lips, his eyes full of excitement: "I wonder if Governor Yuan will come to our An Ning Guard."

Governor Yuan.

Hearing these three words, the others also showed expressions of admiration.

Civil officials, whether hostile or not, all regarded Prime Minister Zhang, a "talented official in managing the country," as their role model, while military officials regarded Governor Yuan, who was known as the "God of War in White."

Governor Yuan is not only good at leading troops, but his personal combat capability is also unrivaled in the world.

Therefore, he has a great reputation in the world.

As an old man in the Annan Army, Wei Ming naturally yearned for Governor Yuan.

Among the 32 military garrisons of the State of Yu, there was not a single officer who did not admire Governor Yuan. Even among the common people, many people privately worshipped the statue of Governor Yuan. This situation was even more obvious in the northwest.

Why?

If it weren't for Governor Yuan, countless more people would have died at the hands of the barbarians in the northwestern states.

Ning Zhongtian laughed and said, "Forget about Governor Yuan. He is in such a high position that he would go directly to the front line instead of coming to our garrison. However, your old boss will come to Qinghe."

Old boss?
Wei Ming was stunned at first, then surprised: "Are you talking about General Lei?"

"Correct."

Ning Zhongtian nodded.

Lei Yong is not only Wei Ming's old boss, but also his old boss.

Actually, Ning Zhongtian should be Lei Yong's talent.

It’s just that he has been in An Ningwei for too long, so everyone thought he was from Jiang Linxian’s faction.

Hearing that Lei Yong was coming to An Ningwei, even Li Rui couldn't help but sit up straight.

Like Cao Wei, Lei Yong was a lieutenant general.

Moreover, he was the chief officer of the garrison in Yunzhou City. It was very interesting that a lieutenant general appeared in the jurisdiction of another lieutenant general.

If I guessed correctly.

Annan Town is about to send troops!

Ning Zhongtian said, "Governor Yuan is going to send troops to help Wu State to suppress the rebels on the border between the two countries and maintain peace on the trade routes. Lei Tou'er is here to assist our An Ning Guard."

really
Everyone was silent at first.

Tan Hu was the first to blush and said excitedly: "This is good news!"

Do the math.

He hadn't been to the battlefield for ten years, and he missed the feeling of galloping on the battlefield.

Wei Ming and Ge Hong also had a vague expectation.

Those who fight every day are afraid of war, while those who don’t fight look forward to it.

Why.

The family assets they have been fighting for every day are all gone, and there is no profit to be made. If they rush forward, they will lose their lives. Of course they are afraid.

Just ask the Northwest Frontier Army and you will know who is willing to fight?

But it is different for a military town like Annan, which has no war all year round. The ways to make meritorious service on a daily basis are extremely limited. Everyone hopes to gain military merit through fighting and realize the dream of crossing classes.

The same goes for the soldiers below and the generals above.

Otherwise, Cao Wei insisted that he knew Qi and killed him, which might be because he wanted to gain military merit.

The situation in Wu State is different from that in the Northwest.

They went to help quell the rebellion. No matter who won or lost in the Wu Kingdom, An Ning Wei got the credit and would be the winner no matter how you looked at it.

Great opportunity for gilding.

If a military general of the Yu State wants to be promoted to a high position, he must have experience fighting on the battlefield. The only place he can go is the northwest border army. It is a question whether he can come back alive after going there. But it is different for the Wu State. It can also be considered battlefield experience, and it is much safer.

Lei Yong is so active, I'm afraid he is also thinking of gaining credit for himself.

Ning Zhongtian looked at Ge Hong and Wei Ming and said, "You guys should prepare first. There should be action soon. After all, this is a war. We can't take it lightly."

"Ah."

Among the few people, the only one who doesn't care at all is probably Tan Hu.

Because he was the only one who had actually been to the battlefield.

Although Ning Zhongtian and his companions had served as soldiers for many years, they had only faced people and affairs of the underworld and had never been to the battlefield.

Tan Hu grinned: "Don't worry, Ning Boss. In other words, the brave are invincible. Just chop them and they'll be done."

Wei Ming rolled his eyes.

Tan Hu was born strong, so it was no problem for him to take a few more blows.

But if he and Ge Hong were stabbed a few more times, they would definitely be killed.

It was my first time going to the battlefield, and I was a new recruit, so of course I was scared.

But I still have to go even though I am scared.

Both of them are Liu Jin. Even if they practice hard for a lifetime, they will never be able to reach the Dragon Gate. They need more resources and stronger skills.

This little bit of military merit cannot be earned by relying on An Ning Wei's own jurisdiction; it is only possible on the battlefield.

Looking at a room full of people who are only about to scream.

Li Rui's heart moved slightly.

"Things like building a career are best left to young people."

Things are going to change in Qinghe, but it has little to do with Li's house.

early morning.

After a night of fighting, Li Rui walked out of the yard full of energy.

In a dream.

He simulated Zhuang Renhe.

Practice every day.

As it turned out, without the immortal weapons, the odds between him and Zhuang Renhe were 90-1, and he would naturally win.

Challenging someone of a higher level is something that is almost impossible to accomplish.

Do you really think that being a genius can make challenging a higher level as easy as drinking water?
It is difficult to be at the same realm, and to be able to cross a major realm like Li Rui, it seems that only Jiang Linxian in the whole Yunzhou can do it.

He also killed the leader of a sect after opening up the Qi Sea.

Fight to fame.

This is how he got the title of Jiangdong Sword Immortal.

According to Tie Kuang, Jiang Linxian won by luck, it was almost a life-or-death situation.

Killing people above your level is never an easy task.

No matter how talented you are, it's all the same.

Li Rui tried many times before he managed to kill Zhuang Renhe by chance.

Of course, if the Immortal Soldier. 91 is reversed.

With a fifth-rank master as his sparring partner, his progress in developing his Dragon Elephant True Energy was rapid. In addition, he had an excellent foundation, so after only seven or eight days of practice, he had already gained some insight into the art.

Li Rui sniffed the cool morning breeze and became more interested in practicing martial arts than ever before.

The long sword is unsheathed.

The martial arts mysteries of the Dragon-Elephant True Energy emerged in his mind. His body was like a sitting giant elephant, and his arms were like silver dragons dancing wildly. In an instant, his clothes fluttered and the fallen leaves in the yard were lifted up layer by layer.

The power is astonishing.

"The Dragon Elephant True Yuan Energy is divided into three levels: Elephant Yuan, Dragon Yuan, and Dragon Elephant Yuan."

When one reaches the level of Dragon-Elephant Energy, one will be able to move mountains.

According to martial arts.

The most extreme case is that one hates the sky for not having a handle and the earth for not having a ring.

The exercises are divided into internal and external.

There is a saying in the underworld: practice your breath inside and your muscles, bones and skin outside.

Most external skills are divided into two parts: strengthening the body and technical skills.

The Dragon Elephant True Energy is a superior external skill, and the sword technique is the Six Slashes of the Wandering Dragon. The focus is on training strength to achieve the effect of overcoming ten skills with one force. Of course, the technique is not bad either.

Li Rui has been practicing diligently these past few days and has shown some signs of success.

The knife's momentum became more and more ferocious.

Every move he made was terrifyingly powerful.

suddenly!

A warm current burst out from Li Rui's waist and abdomen, reaching his limbs and bones, and there seemed to be infinite power between his fingers and palms.

Li Rui was delighted:

"The image is complete!"
