I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

Xue Deming is the spokesperson for the nobles with military honors, and Zhao Tiangang's position as Heavenly Master has not yet been restored. Logically speaking, he should not be so humble.

But the previous performance of Shanhewei was really poor. If Zhao Tiangang reported it truthfully and broke the elite impression of Shanhewei in His Majesty's mind, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"I dare not take credit for it, and Lord Xue is wrong about one thing."

Zhao Tiangang said slowly: "It's not 'wait' until the demon army becomes powerful, but the demon army has already become powerful! If it weren't for the bloody battles of the Shanhe Guards, Qingzhou would have been in danger long ago."

When he said this, Master Zhao almost laughed out loud.

The emperor knows nothing about military affairs!

Looking only at the data on paper, Shanhewei is indeed bright and beautiful.

However, due to some kind of 'inbreeding' effect, this so-called elite force of the Great Jin was just a showpiece, and in terms of actual combat effectiveness, it would definitely be crushed by the Imperial Guards.

The idea that children from martial arts families are good at fighting is completely a stereotype!

Seven thousand Mountain and River Guards could only barely suppress a few hundred fanatics, and in the end they lost their courage.

Chapter 102: One Word Changes Belief

There are so many great immortals in the world, and it is definitely not just Immortal Qiu who has come up with the idea of ​​governing officials by the people.

Although the demon clan is fictional, there are indeed great immortals in Qingzhou who are ambitiously cultivating fanatics and forming mountain defense armies/demon armies with ill intentions.

Zhao Tiangang had long wanted to test the quality of the Shanhe Guards, so after picking on three or four weak ones, he quietly went after the tough guy, Lu Daxian.

The original form of Deer Immortal is just an ordinary sika deer, and his cultivation is only at the level of a great demon.

But this monster has gone to great lengths to cultivate hundreds of fanatical followers, the only one of its kind in the entire Qingzhou!

What is a fanatic?

They are the ones whose stomachs were cut by the Shanhe Guards, whose intestines flowed out and were tied into a knot, but they continued to fight to the death with dung forks!

The fanatical followers under Lu Daxian have amazing fighting spirit, but they are few in number and poorly equipped, so they are just right to test the bottom line of the Shanhewei.

As for the result of the bottoming out, we can tell from Xue Deming’s attitude at this time.

"Master Zhao is a man of great righteousness and a role model for the people of the world. Once the destruction of the mountains and temples is successfully completed, I will propose to Your Majesty that Master Zhao be restored to his position as Heavenly Master."

Xue Deming didn't know that the emperor had already made the promise, and he said this with tears of gratitude.

"Haha, thank you so much, Commander Xue."

Xue Deming was delighted when he heard this, but he pretended to be worried and said, "But the demon army is fierce. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to successfully complete the important trust of your majesty."

There is something else behind this person's words.

Seeing Zhao Tiangang looking at him, Xue Deming's eyes flickered, and he deliberately lowered his voice a bit: "Master Zhao, can you be flexible?"

Certainly not every immortal is as difficult to deal with as Lu Daxian, but who knows how many 'Lu Daxian' there are in such a huge Qingzhou?

The strength of each master is not marked on the map!

"What does Commander Xue mean?"

Of course Zhao Tiangang understood what this guy meant, but his original plan was to use those tough guys to severely weaken the Shanhe Guard. How could it be possible... Well, the Shanhe Guard has become so rotten, maybe it would be better to keep it?

Xue Deming was anxiously telling something, but Zhao Tiangang ignored the outside interference and started thinking silently.

.....

The destruction of mountains and temples was in full swing in the land of Jiuzhou. The local government and Shushan sword cultivators were the absolute main force in this operation. The Mountain and River Guards led by Zhao Tiangang could only play a small role.

Precisely because the Shanhe Guards have limited capabilities and cannot take on big responsibilities, Zhao Tiangang can act according to circumstances without having to follow any fixed plan.

"It is not difficult to keep the Mountain and River Guards. After all, it is easy for me to deal with those fanatics."

'But why should we clean them up? Wouldn't it be better to put them to good use?'

While thinking, a certain name gradually emerged in Zhao Tiangang's mind.

Ge Chongtian!

A super-thug who gathered a crowd to rebel and massacred the family of the Lu'an County magistrate.

Ge Chongtian's rebellion shocked not only the imperial court, but also the four great immortal sects.

Of course, unlike the imperial court, the four great sects were surprised but also happy.

The collapse of a dynasty is often accompanied by various rebellions and uprisings. According to the plans of the four major immortal sects, the first place where rebellion would occur would be Yizhou.

But unexpectedly, Yizhou did not rebel, but someone in Qingzhou rebelled first.

The more accidents like this the better, and the bigger the noise Ge Chongtian makes, the better!

Shushan and Purgatory Sect were not sure, but Zhao Tiangang knew that his old friend was ready to help Ge Chongtian and was collecting water talismans everywhere.

"All the counties have joined forces to suppress the rebels, and there have been frequent reports of success these days. But Ge Chongtian's head has not been sent to Yujing yet, which shows that this man is quite powerful!"

"If such a person could get the help of hundreds or thousands of fanatics, it would be even more worth looking forward to."

.....

Xue Deming talked for a while and then chuckled and said no more. The main reason was that Zhao Tiangang was distracted too obviously, and distraction was also a statement!

"Commander-in-chief..."

"Alas, Master Zhao, please don't take those jokes De Ming just said to heart. Your Majesty must eradicate the evildoers, and the people of the country will die without regrets."

The subject changed quickly, but the tone was not very firm.

"The commander-in-chief not only has a heart to protect the country, but also cares deeply about the soldiers. This is really admirable."

Zhao Tiangang smiled and said, "I have been thinking about whether there is a way to achieve the best of both worlds, and I finally thought of it just now."

Ok?

Under Xue Deming's expectant gaze, Zhao Tiangang slowly said: "The Mountain and River Guards can just focus on dealing with the evildoers. As for those rioters, I can call a friend to persuade them patiently."

Can those lunatics be persuaded?!

Xue Deming looked at Zhao Tiangang in astonishment, but the latter did not seem to want to explain.

He took out a map from his bosom, pointed to a mark on it and said, "Commander, let's set the next target as this [Big Egg Immortal]. This beast is a wild boar. It has been operating in Qingzhou for a long time and has developed about fifty fanatics."

God damn Dome Immortal!

The commander's mouth twitched a few times, and suddenly his expression became serious.

"Master Zhao, you just said that the Giant Egg Immortal has developed about fifty fanatical followers?"

"good"

Zhao Tiangang nodded calmly: "Commander Xue, do you have any doubts?"

"..."

"Hahahaha, what's there to doubt? De Ming just wants to complete the task smoothly and doesn't have any extra thoughts about other things."

After saying that, Xue Deming bowed to Zhao Tiangang, then summoned the demoralized Shanhe Guards and began to discipline them.

It's called a warning, but in reality it's a promise that we won't have to deal with rioters again.

With the commander's repeated assurances and urging, these guys finally headed towards the next target.

......

Due to the extremely slow marching speed of the Shanhe Guards, before arriving at the location of the Giant Egg Immortal, Xue Deming saw the good friend that Zhao Tiangang had mentioned - a woman with six eyes, who was extremely eerie and terrifying!

If this woman had not been chatting with the head of the Tianshi Sect very familiarly, Xue Deming would have definitely doubted her identity as a human.

On the third day after the six-eyed woman joined the marching team, the Shanhe Guards finally arrived at their destination.

"I have led the Mountain and River Guards to conquer five mountaintops, but this monster is only running away now. The monster cultivators are really a mess."

Black clouds rose from the mountain, and Zhao Tiangang just glanced at them, causing the panicked wild boar monster to fall from the clouds.

"I have beaten this monster back to its original form. I ask Commander Xue to search the mountain and capture the monster."

"Okay, I'll have to ask Master Zhao's friends to persuade those rioters." Xue Deming pointed at the fanatics who came fearlessly with a grim look.

Seeing the six-eyed woman walking towards the rioters alone, Xue Deming ordered the Shanhe Guards to search the mountain while silently watching how she would deal with it.

He thought that this six-eyed woman might cast some strange magic, but she didn't!

This person simply greeted the rioters in a normal manner, and then chatted with them for a few words, and the rioters who had come over quickly dispersed.

“Every profession has its specializations”

Zhao Tiangang said this with emotion, and Xue Deming could only smile.

Chapter 103: The Historian

"hold head high--"

Mata Qingjiao roared weakly at the scorching sun in the sky, as if he was helpless and accusing.

When it first arrived in Qingzhou, it was quite happy. After all, this place is much cooler than Yizhou.

But why is it that Qingzhou is getting hotter and hotter in just a short period of time?

"Hold on, Xiaoqing. There's a village ahead. Tangtang will go get you some water."

Seeing that Qingjiao was very thirsty, Tangtang quickly stretched out her legs and ran towards the village.

"Hello, sister!"

When they arrived at a vegetable garden, the little girl greeted a young girl with a unique temperament, panting.

The girl had rare long silver hair, a broad forehead, and she exuded a scholarly air.

"Hello little girl, what's up?"

Her voice was gentle and pleasant, yet tinged with sadness.

"Tangtang wants to borrow the watering can from her sister to help Xiaoqing cool down."

So the green dragon is called Xiaoqing?

The girl smiled and generously handed over the watering can.

"It contains mountain spring water, which is refreshing and sweet. You can give it to drink directly."

"Thank you~"

While Tangtang was feeding Xiaoqing water, she asked curiously, "It's so hot, is there any water on the mountain?"

"As long as the long-haired immortal is here, there will be water on the mountain."

Haha, it turns out there is an immortal in the mountain.

Seeing the little girl nodded and said nothing more, the silver-haired girl couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

For a Pupa Dan cultivator, this reaction was too calm.

She couldn't help but ask, "Miss Tangtang, have you been dealing with the immortals often recently?"

The implication is that he somewhat doubts that the little girl is a disciple of Shushan.

"Not often, but Tangtang also saw the Great Immortal when she was in Yizhou."

The little girl briefly told the story of Master Qiu, and the silver-haired girl immediately showed a bit of anger on her face.

"Those villagers were so heartless. Qiu Daxian brought them rain and organized them to resist the government's exploitation, but they were cruelly abandoned at the critical moment. It's so pitiful! No one would bully monsters like this!"

this......

"Sister, you are actually a big demon, right?" Tangtang asked, scratching his head.

......

It's no wonder that the little girl doubted the silver-haired girl's identity. It was because her words "Don't bully monsters like that" gave it away too obviously.

"Sister, are you the long-haired immortal?"

Tangtang looked at the girl's long silver hair and made further guesses.

"No"

The silver-haired girl shook her head, took the now empty watering can from the little girl, and returned to the house.

Good, very angry look.

Tangtang and Xiaoqing looked at each other for a while and decided to find a family to stay with in the village first.

At night, the hot meals wafted with an enticing aroma.
