Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 115 Follow County Magistrate Kang to serve the emperor and the country!

Kang Dabao snatched the silk book from Luo Heng's hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and then his eyes became relaxed. He spat at Luo Heng on the ground and handed it to Tie Xishan.

After the latter impatiently took it, he also let out a long breath and angrily cursed at Luo Heng on the ground: "You bastard!"

Seeing that Luo Heng was seriously injured and fearing that his death might be related to him, Tie Xishan resisted the urge to hit him, rushed to Qian Liu, and slapped him hard.

Qian Liu saw that Luo Heng's breath was red, so he dared not dodge and took the slap hard.

Even though Tie Xishan's cultivation level was much lower than his, Qian Liu was still knocked around in the air for several rounds before falling to the ground.

Qian Liu was in a state of embarrassment, but his injuries were not serious. It was just that a late-stage cultivator was slapped in the face by an early-stage cultivator, which was somewhat embarrassing.

But how could Qian Liu, who was willing to be a son-in-law without a title, have any face? At least Tie Xishan had calmed down so that the team of soldiers would not catch up and stab him to death.

Kang Dabao threw Luo Heng to Qian Liu's side and asked him to bandage his wounds.

A county magistrate has just died in Pingrong County, and another one cannot die in a short period of time. If the eyes of the higher-ups are attracted, it will not be good for Master Kang.

As for offending the old foundation-building master Huo Bing, Kang Dabao decided to drag Tie Xishan into the water as well. He had a strong backer, and that commander Tie was obviously a capable fighter, enough to intimidate our governor Huo.

"What do you mean by 'three cultivators send one'? Sima Fei took pity on us because Pingrong County had just gone through turmoil, so he only asked us to send fifty cultivators. But he also said that they must be elite soldiers, and no casual cultivators could be taken to make up the number. What a shame."

Tie Xishan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Luo Heng was able to breathe again after Qian Liu fed him a few pills.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that none of these people can die. As long as no one dies, it is just a minor fight among the subordinates and will not damage the reputation of the Immortal Dynasty.

"The Luo family of Heilinbao can send out one out of three cultivators, which will make a total of ten people." Kang Dabao mentioned this. Luo Heng heard it clearly, but he only raised his eyelids and did not dare to even stammer.

As a son-in-law, in his current situation, his heart trembled when he saw the glittering silver mace in Kang Dabao's hand. How could he have the leisure to care about the life and death of his relatives?

“The Grass Witch Sect, the Hemu Dao, and the Fellow Cultivators Association will each send ten people.” Tie Xishan nodded in agreement and then spoke.

These three forces were at the top of the tax list for Pingrong County and had already been registered with the provincial government.

Since Sima Fei has made it clear that he wants elite soldiers, then for the sake of his reputation, these three families will definitely have to send people. This is basic courtesy.

"Now we are still short of ten people." Kang Dabao thought for a while, "It would be great if the Iron Sword Sect was still there."

However, since it is Master Kang who is the county lieutenant, then he will definitely not need to send anyone this time to restore the Ming Dynasty, otherwise the position would be in vain.

Even Xie Fu could recruit hundreds of monks to serve him with just one official document. Now Kang Dabao holds the imperial sword issued by the state court, so why would he worry about not being able to recruit these ten people?

The only thing worth worrying about is that Sima Fei specifically requested in his letter that each county should send at least one chief officer to lead the team. That old fellow Sun Bingdou would definitely make excuses for assisting Tanggu County in digging the spiritual stone mine. It looks like Luo Heng's injury will take at least three to five years to heal.

As for Tie Xishan, firstly, his cultivation was too low, and he didn't look like a "sharp soldier". If Fei Sima saw him, he would be really angry.

Secondly, according to the rules, if the county magistrate cannot lead the troops, the military affairs should indeed fall on the head of the county lieutenant Kang Dabao. It is difficult for the chief clerk Tie Xishan, who has a backer, to take the lead. If he asks for it, the other party will shirk it. It is better for him to take the responsibility directly and do a favor.
Thirdly, the head of Kangda Sect still needed the iron commander behind him to calm the anger of Huo Bing, the old foundation-building master. "Huh, I have to risk my life again." Thinking of this, the head of Kangda Sect smiled and pointed at Luo Heng towards Tie Xishan. Tie Xishan nodded, indicating that he understood.

As for who to recruit, it is very simple. Whoever has a bad relationship with the head of Kangda must follow the county lieutenant of Kangda to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country.

Qian Liu, the man in front of us, is one of them. He is a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training. He can be considered a figure in this remote and poor Pingrong County. He should follow County Magistrate Kang and be loyal to the emperor and serve the country.

Kang Dabao bid farewell to Tie Xishan and asked for the team of soldiers from the Demon-Suppressing Division from him. The group walked towards Chongming Market to look for the remaining nine.

"Hey, I want to ask you about a few people."

Arriving at Chongming Market, Master Kang walked into the grocery store run by the shopkeeper named Dumu Ye with ease. The giant sitting at the counter lowered his eyelids and said nothing.

"Don't worry, we have enough spirit stones for you this time." Kang Dabao stuffed five spirit stones full of spiritual power and a note over.

The giant showed some surprise on his face, but still didn't say anything. Instead, he reached out and took the spirit stone and the note.

"Kang Da County Lieutenant has only been an official for a few days, but he actually came to help us ordinary people to eliminate violence and protect the good people?" The giant man sneered with gloating pleasure, and read the names of the people on the note one by one. They were all evil cultivators with some reputation near Linghe Market. Their Taoist cultivation was not bad, and they were not characters that ordinary people could afford to offend.

"They have ruined my business in the past. This time, the state court's Sima Fei specifically requested that I go into battle. If I go, I might not come back alive. They can't have an easy time. They must go with me to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country." Kang Dabao grinned, and a seemingly honest smile appeared on his face again.

"Then this amount of spiritual stones is not enough." The giant frowned nervously after hearing the news. Then he pretended nothing happened, picked up the silver abacus in his hand, and dragged out the sound.

"It seems that the little spiritual stones I have are not enough, but it is simple. Shopkeeper Ye, do you want to follow me to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country?" Kang Dabao smiled even more and pointed at the team of soldiers from the Demon-Snatching Division standing outside the store.

The giant suddenly fell silent, his brows relaxed, and a smile broke out on his face.

He honestly bent down to take a piece of silk cloth from the table, rolled up his sleeves, and a neat and beautiful small calligraphy appeared on it.

Master Kang was not in a hurry. He waited patiently and walked around the room leisurely. Finally, he made a selection from the tea shelf and brewed a pot of good tea for himself.

The giant raised his eyebrows slightly, and put more force on the pen in his hand. "That's a golden eyebrow tip worth eight spirit stones. You, a rough fellow, have a tongue like that!"

"Wow, it's actually hidden in these places." After an incense stick of time, Kang Dabao took the silk cloth, took a look at it, and conveniently led people out of the shop.

"It's getting late. I'll come back another day to take care of your business. Goodbye."

The giant looked at Kang Dabao's departing back, sighed, and returned to his dim grocery store, remaining silent for a long time.
