Shulong Daojun

Before he had gone far, Gao Chengyun suddenly remembered something, paused, and reappeared around Chuzhou County.

He has already formed an alliance with Fellow Daoist Lin, and considering this relationship, he will no longer concern himself with the affairs of Chuzhou County. In addition, he is about to leave office and has no time to care about it.

However, this place is ultimately a hidden danger, so I might as well take precautions while I am still in Rencheng Zhengshen.

Gao Chengyun's gaze swept across the surroundings. After a moment's thought, he exercised his divine authority and used the rocks and vegetation to change the road, consolidating the county road and rural roads leading from Chuxian to Pingjiang City into a few fixed points.

The roads between the remaining counties become winding, complicated, and extremely difficult to travel.

After finishing, he carefully checked everything and nodded in satisfaction only after confirming that there were no problems.

Travel between the county and the city is still possible and does not affect people's livelihoods.

All that is needed upon returning is to secretly inform the officials of Pingjiang City to keep a close eye on those few fixed locations, which will be enough to prevent that mortal named Jiang Heng from starting a rebellion.

With the side roads impassable, the official road became the only option.

However, the official road was guarded by city troops, and a pass was required for entry and exit. The slightest disturbance would expose the situation, let alone a group of people who were starting an uprising.

This delay greatly hindered Jiang Heng's chances of success.

By the time this mortal left Chuzhou County, the world had already changed drastically.

When the time comes, the vassal king will send a troop of troops to take over, and Chuzhou will be his for the taking.

In this way, it will not only serve as a subtle warning to Fellow Daoist Lin, but also extinguish any ulterior motives in his heart, allowing him to wholeheartedly assist my Tai Shi lineage.

With the general trend unfolding, Fellow Daoist Lin is a wise man and should know how to make the right choice.

After deciding, Gao Chengyun continued his journey towards Pingjiang City.

Chuxian County.

Lin Shu noticed the change of route, pondered for a moment, shook his head and smiled, then sensed Bei Chen's location, moved and came to his side.

When the gods discuss matters, mortals are naturally not allowed to listen in.

Therefore, when Gu Changming and the group of local officials in blue robes withdrew, Jiang Heng also led the group of people who had started the uprising out of the government office.

After Bei Chen came out, he found Jiang Heng waiting outside the yamen. With a thought, he stepped forward and discussed with him the future development of Chuzhou County and the reason for Gao Chengyun's visit.

Upon seeing Lin Shu's figure, Bei Chen's eyes lit up, and he said softly, "Senior Brother Lin."

Jiang Heng's eyes narrowed with worry, and he asked in a low voice, "My lord... has something unexpected happened?"

Seeing Lin Shu and the tall, strong figure dismiss the crowd and talk privately, he immediately felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.

Seeing their reactions, Lin Shu smiled gently and said softly, "It's alright. It's just that we've formed an alliance with the Tai Shi lineage, so we'll need to travel there from now on. We can't come to Chu County anymore."

"How could this be!" Bei Chen was startled, his expression changing drastically. He hurriedly said, "Then what about our plan..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Shu raised his hand and placed it heavily on his shoulder, saying calmly, "Continue."

I am not the leader of the uprising, and I cannot mobilize the people who are starting the uprising. I am also not very proficient in military strategy and skills, so I cannot lead troops into battle or supply weapons.

Therefore, the foundation of the new dynasty was not built by my own efforts; it was due to Brother Beichen, and even more so to Brother Jiang.

The two of you are the key to success.

As he spoke, Lin Shu's gaze shifted to Bei Chen and Jiang Heng. He smiled slightly and asked, "Did I contribute to the capture of Chu County?"

Upon hearing the question, the two were startled, and the panic on their faces gradually subsided.

Seeing this, Lin Shu nodded slightly and continued, "With me here, it's just that Brother Jiang can use my identity as the city's righteous god to intimidate the righteous gods of Chuxian County, so as to stabilize the people in the county. That's all."

I will neither reveal that I have joined forces with Gao Chengyun, nor will I tell Gu Changming and the others that I have severed ties with Brother Jiang.

If Brother Jiang uses my name to do things again in the future, I will not feel obligated to come and stop him.

Besides, I have already shown myself in Chuxian County. When it is necessary to prove that you have the support of the City God, Gu Changming and others can testify.

Therefore, what difference does it make whether there is a self or not?

Lin Shu's seemingly casual rhetorical question struck Bei Chen and Jiang Heng like a thunderbolt, causing them to suddenly realize the truth.

After a moment's thought, they all understood the meaning behind Lin Shu's words: whether the establishment of the new dynasty could succeed ultimately depended on themselves.

Others can certainly provide assistance and make the journey easier, but if you stop yourself, you will ultimately fail to achieve your goal.

Thinking back on the past, whether it was supporting the Miscellaneous Learning Lineage or conspiring with Jiang Heng, although Senior Brother Lin helped, it was only a prelude. All of these were actions he had carefully considered. He immediately regrouped.

His expression regained its former confidence. He cupped his hands in greeting and smiled at Lin Shu, saying, "Junior Brother, I have learned a lot."

Jiang Heng's thoughts were very simple.

Those with ambition and courage will never easily give up their aspirations.

The True God of Manifestation is someone who desires to establish a celestial dynasty; how could he easily abandon Chuzhou County?

There must be a reason behind this, it's just that I can't figure it out.

Therefore, Jiang Heng's expression shifted for a moment before he suppressed his emotions and respectfully asked Lin Shu, "My lord, on what day will the rice and wheat in Chuzhou be ripened?"

Lin Shu took in the expressions of the two men, nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and replied, "Qing Min will come in five days."

Jiang Heng felt a sense of relief, his brows relaxed, and he cupped his hands in thanks with a hint of joy, saying, "Thank you, sir."

Five days is neither too long nor too short. This period of time is enough for him to understand most of the affairs in Chuzhou County, and it also coincides with the county magistrate's anxious wait. By then, the rice and wheat will have ripened, which will be more convincing to him.

As he was pondering this, a faint voice suddenly reached his ears:

"Junior Brother Beichen, Brother Jiang, what do you think of my appearance?"

With a thought, Lin Shu unleashed the Mysterious Female Technique, transforming his appearance into that of a sinister man with a playful smile.

Upon seeing this, Bei Chen and Jiang Heng were greatly encouraged, both surprised and delighted, and immediately called out:

"Senior Brother Lin!"

"grown ups!"

Lin Shu stood with his hands behind his back, smiled slightly, flicked his robe, and said, "From now on, when you see my dignified appearance, you should call me 'The Rebellious Daoist'."

"While joining forces with the Tai Shi lineage, I will also secretly assist you in this capacity."

After saying that, he raised his hand and brushed his face back to normal.

He then strode forward, turned, and walked towards the young master, leaving behind a faint remark:

"There is something we need to discuss right now, and I'd like to hear your thoughts."

Upon hearing this, Bei Chen and Jiang Heng's expressions tightened slightly, and they followed closely behind.

up.

Lin Shu explained the road relocation in Chuzhou County, then rolled up his sleeves and took Bei Chen and Jiang Heng outside the county to get a general idea of ​​the situation. He then returned to the county and waited for their reply.

Bei Chen and Jiang Heng exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing slightly.

With all routes out of the county under control, even if Chuzhou County were stabilized, it would be extremely difficult to start an uprising.

Without sufficient troops, how can one capture a county, or even a city?

Upon reading this, the two realized the situation was quite troublesome.

After a short while, Bei Chen seemed to have thought of something and said, "Among my miscellaneous lineages, there are quite a few disciples who are proficient in earth-based magic. How about we summon them to Chuzhou County to clear mountains and change roads?"
