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

But after a long time, the yamen runners who went out to investigate did not come back. Instead, a group of weird people with fanatical faces and muttering something like "Ge Daxian" broke in.

Oh no, Hundred Immortals Army!

The county magistrate was startled and jumped up from his chair and tried to run, but because he lived a life of luxury, he was caught up before he had gone far.

"what--"

Seeing the county magistrate being hacked to death, Master Wu was so scared that he wet his pants.

"Please spare my life, my dear heroes. I am willing to turn from evil to good and serve as a military advisor to General Ge!"

Ignoring Master Wu's crazy talk, the Hundred Immortals Army chopped off the county magistrate and then immediately chopped him off.

.....

The matter of Ge Chongtian was almost over in the court.

The emperor and his ministers were just waiting for Lu Zhongliang to present the traitor's head, but in the blink of an eye, Ge Chongtian revived and captured Dongfeng County?

"The general's troops have an absolute advantage, and we shouldn't let the rebels break through the siege."

"Yes, this is indeed strange."

Regardless of whether the ministers were speaking on the point or not, the meaning of these words changed when they reached the emperor's ears.

He felt that some people had ulterior motives and seemed to be trying to take away Lu Zhongliang's military power.

To be honest, when Ge Chongtian captured Dongfeng County, the emperor was also furious and felt that Lu Zhongliang should not have made such a mistake.

but......

No matter how many mistakes he made, Lu Zhongliang was promoted by himself, he is his confidant!

How could the emperor sleep well when his own confidant was in charge of the military affairs of Qingzhou?

But if it were someone else, such as the meritorious noble who had just wilted a while ago and is now clamoring that Lu Zhongliang can't fight, then the emperor would not be able to sleep well, and he might not even be able to speak loudly.

"The Qingzhou army still needs to be integrated."

As soon as the emperor spoke, everyone fell silent.

"Changing generals in the middle of a battle is a big taboo."

The emperor said in a deep voice: "My general is capable of winning the battle. You don't have to worry. Just wait for good news."

With just one word, "My great general", all the civil and military officials in the court understood the emperor's implication.

Some people have no choice but to endure it even if it doesn't matter.

.....

Qingzhou, Le'an County.

The ground was steaming like an oven.

The young man felt a little overwhelmed when he just reached the foot of the mountain carrying the axe. He looked up at the scorching sun in the sky and showed obvious hesitation.

It's really too hot. Going up the mountain to chop firewood in this weather could cost lives.

only......

"It's hot today, but not tomorrow? It's hot for a month. Does that mean I won't work for a month and my family will starve?"

Qingzhou is the core of the entire Dajin region, so the average living standard of the people here is definitely higher than other places.

Even so, those who stop talking and using their hands still account for the majority.

The man wiped the sweat off his forehead, took a sip of the water in the bamboo tube, then gritted his teeth and climbed up the mountain.

This water still needs money nowadays, so the more you save, the better.

The young man climbed up panting. The sun was so bright that he could hardly open his eyes and his head was dizzy.

He stepped on the ground again, and suddenly the sky spun and the man rolled down the hill.

This roll did not lead him directly from the middle of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, but he did come to a place he had never been to before.

A slight chill came over him, and the man's drowsy spirit was suddenly lifted.

He opened his eyes and the first thing he noticed was a lot of sparrows sitting on the trees.

"This place is strangely cool and shady. Birds are better at finding places than humans."

The young man sighed a few words and began to feel doubtful.

Why is this place cooler than other places?

The man got up and looked around, and soon his eyes lit up!

There is a cold pond in the mountains?

This saves a lot of water money.

He hurried over to take a look, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face again.

.....

Although a trace of cold air was still emanating from it, the water in the pond had dried up, leaving only a thin layer.

The young man sighed and was about to go forward to collect the little remaining water...Huh?

He wiped his eyes and looked at it several times.

That’s right, my eyes were not blurry, there was actually a piece of jade at the bottom of the pool!

Without saying a word, the man went to the bottom of the pool, reached out his hand and fished out the jade.

hiss--

Good baby, it’s so cold!

After just a moment's contact, his fingers were already frostbitten.

The man quickly took off his clothes and wrapped Han Yu in several layers, then went home happily.

Without Han Yu, the place quickly became stuffy and hot.

The sparrows in the trees made dissatisfied cries and flapped their wings to fly to another hill.

The mountain is densely populated with various birds, as if all the birds in the entire Le'an County have gathered here.

What is even more surprising is that the stream in this mountain has not been cut off!

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. Well, there is indeed a big demon here who is taking care of its own kind.

By the way, Tangtang also knew this great demon. She was Shan Yunhe's best friend, and she was the one who brought the little girl the news that 'Lingyu Sect has a chicken that can lay pupa pills' - Du Yunque!

Chapter 142 Bao Inquire

When there are many birds on the mountain, the chirping is very loud.

However, Du Yunque has always been nicknamed a gossiper, so he enjoys listening to the birds chatting.

There are quite a lot of strange things in Le'an County. Of course, Du Yunque has also heard a lot of news not only from Le'an County, but also from the neighboring Langya County.

Du Yunque listened to everyone's chat with a smile on her face. Soon, a piece of news about a little girl with braids riding a dragon caught her attention.

"A little girl with pigtails? Tangtang has a green dragon!"

Although the dragon was always hidden in the little girl's sleeve and she had never seen it with her own eyes, Yun He would not lie to herself.

Du Yunque flapped his wings, and colorful lights gathered together, soon forming a full-body image of Tangtang.

Help me find this girl

.....

At a market in Le'an County, the little girl was really shocked when she heard the discussions of people around her.

Ge Chongtian broke through the siege and launched a surprise attack on Dongfeng County!

The county magistrate who, in his eyes, was indifferent to human life and extremely stupid, was actually a military genius?

It's incredible...

Tangtang was in a daze when she suddenly felt her shoulders sink slightly.

She turned her head and saw that it was a little bird, no, it was a big monster. A big monster revealed its true form and landed on her shoulder.

The little girl blinked and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

After a moment, she clapped her hands and called out "Sister Du", then ran quickly towards the inn.

"Haha, it's rare that you can guess it's me, Tangtang."

In the inn room, Du Yunque flew around happily.

"It's easy to guess, after all, Sister Du, your name is 'Du Yunque'."

The man and the demon chatted briefly about the past, and then Tangtang asked about the recent situation of Shan Yunhe and Li Xingwen.

The drought in Yizhou is far more serious than that in Qingzhou. Coupled with the fact that Qingzhou continues to snatch water from Yizhou, the people in the entire Yizhou are almost living in misery.

Of course, Shan Yunhe is a big demon after all.

With her care, Li Xingwen's family and even the villagers of Kelai Village can live a decent life.

"Yunhe and Master Li are both fine, Tangtang, you don't have to worry."

The little girl smiled and nodded, suddenly remembering something.

By the way, this sister Du in front of me seems to have a nickname of gossipy.

"Sister Du, Tangtang wants to ask you something."

"Ok?"

The little girl has been consciously looking for some rare jade artifacts these days.

She herself does not know anything about jade, but she can accurately identify the quality of jade through the art of jade eating.

In theory, the better the quality of the jade, the more it can arouse Tangtang's appetite.

But unfortunately, the jade circulating on the market in this small county city did not make the girl want to eat it.

"Need a jade of [Baoyu] level? Let me think about it."

Du Yunque thought hard for a long time before he said uncertainly, "I heard that a man who went up the mountain to chop wood found a very cold piece of jade in a cold pond, and in the end, no one could enjoy the coolness. I'll ask for the details for you."

"Well, thank you Sister Du~"

.....

Dongdong--

thump thump——

"Who?"

A weak voice came from inside the house. Tangtang and Du Yunque waited for a long time before the young man opened the door wrapped in a quilt.

It must be pointed out that the weather in Qingzhou has not turned cooler.

It was really strange that this person was wrapped in a quilt and shivering in such hot weather.

"Excuse me, my name is Du Yunque, and my family runs a jade shop."

Compared to Tangtang, it was obvious that it was better for an adult like Du Yunque to discuss business with a young man, so the little girl didn't say anything after the door opened.

"I heard that you found a piece in the cold pond..."

"How do you know this?!" the man's face changed and he asked in a higher voice.

"Businessmen have their own channels. Don't be so nervous, little brother. If you pick up the cold jade, it will be yours."

Du Yunque smiled and said, "My sister and I came here just to see the quality of the cold jade. If we can agree on the price, we'll buy it. If we can't, forget it. I won't make it difficult for you."

The young man calmed down a little. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I have already thrown away the harmful thing."

Oh?

Seeing Du Yunque's disbelief, the man couldn't help but look bitter: "I thought I picked up a treasure, but I got sick from the cold that day. The doctor said it was a cold and I had to drink more ginger soup. Alas, drinking water now costs money. If I had known it would be like this, I would never have picked it up!"

"May I ask where did you throw that piece of cold jade?"

"I'll throw it back where it came from."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut.
