On the official road, Tang Zhao drove the two doctors he met by chance on the road, and drove the powerful Liulong treasure car straight to Zhaocheng.
Although these two fifth-grade "big officials" thought very highly of themselves, because Jiang Shenyi took the overall situation into consideration and took the initiative to give in, they were satisfied and stopped being pretentious. The two of them squeezed into the back seat together. It was obviously not comfortable, but they did not complain. , probably because the city is really close and I plan to endure it.
"Cheating Kangxi"
However, this did not stop the two of them from humming and chatting with each other in the back seat.
"Really, this time it's all in vain. After that fright, I thought something bad was going to happen just now."
"What are you afraid of? It's not like we don't have any trump cards. If the thieves don't do anything, we'll run away and find the people from the land inspection department to help us deal with the situation. This time we'll also look for them when we go back and ask them how they manage the place? There are ghosts and snakes everywhere. , if our safety is compromised, can they afford it?"
"Oh, there's nothing wrong with it. I've been studying hard for ten years just to wait for the posthumous title. I can't eat well or sleep well every day, and I'm scared. When will the days end?"
"It will be over when the devil's cave comes. After that, it will be the inspection department's own business. It only lasts a few days, and it can't last more than three or five days. It's over with patience."
"I still feel aggrieved. There are too many high-ranking officials in Beijing and they don't respect us. When we get there, the locals are rude and still don't respect us. So what's the point of us coming down here? We have to pack our things and go back to Beijing according to my temper."
"Isn't it all that woman's fault? She yells at us every day to give us a place, and she rolls her eyes as if we are two trash. Doesn't she know how difficult it is to calculate the empty magic cave? Don't talk about us, they are just officials. Zheng, so what if the spiritual platform is here? Can't we just wait until the devil's cave comes and then search for it?"
"When we go back and report it, we will tell her that she can't eat and walk around. What about the Jiadi Division? When Qingtian Temple doesn't let them deduce the moon, they use their heads to pacify the devil's cave? According to me, all the intelligence in Yunzhou will be closed in the future. You need to delay it for a while, and don’t give it so much pleasure..."
Tang Zhao felt very unhappy after hearing this, and wanted to throw these two people off with their nonsense, so he suddenly said: "Two of you, are you from the capital?"
The two people behind the scenes were having a heated discussion when they were suddenly interrupted and became very impatient. The younger one snorted.
Tang Zhao smiled and said: "I have never been to the capital. The capital is very big, right? Is it much better than our Yunzhou?"
The young man snorted and said: "Indeed, much stronger. You can't even imagine the prosperity of the capital. What's so good about Yunzhou?"
Tang Zhao sighed: "Yes, I have always wanted to go to the capital. It would be best...it would be best if I could become a doctor like you. I have always wanted to be admitted to Qingtian Temple, but I just didn't have this opportunity."
The older one said slowly: "Testing Qingtian Temple? Are you a candidate?"
Tang Zhao coughed lightly and said, "The student has never passed the exam."
The person behind shook his head and said: "At your age, you haven't passed the entrance examination yet. It seems that you will not pass the examination. Qingtian Temple only wants real young geniuses. We all passed the examination when we were your age. I was sixteen years old. Jieyuan."
The young man said: "I am not as good as Brother Li. I am seventeen years old and I am in Jiangzhou Jieyuan."
Brother Li, the elder, smiled and said: "Xiao Wang is Jieyuan from the cultural gathering place in the south of the Yangtze River. He is a talented man among talents, better than me, Jieyuan from Yuzhou. If he hadn't entered Qingtian Temple, I'm afraid he would have been the number one scholar in the next subject."
Tang Zhao was dumbfounded. Although he was trying to stir up the topic, he was really ashamed to be mentioned by these two people. Although he also got the number one scholar in Fu Shi, he knew that even if he gave up Fu Shi and did not follow Mr. Chen and seriously worship the great Confucian as his teacher, he would probably not be able to get the No. 1 Scholar or Jie Yuan in ten years of hard work. Success depends on luck.
When it comes to reading, he is really inferior to others.
Just listen to the young king saying: "Don't think about Qingtian Temple. Why don't you continue to make Fu Shi? This car is very well made. It is fast and majestic. I want to get one."
Tang Zhao said: "Okay, I can customize it for the two adults. One car only costs 500 gold."
The two said in unison: "Five hundred gold?!"
Xiao Wang shouted: "Are you robbing money? You sell a car for 500 gold? Is it made of gold?"
Brother Li said at the same time: "My hard-earned salary for a year is only five hundred taels. When I became a spiritual master, it was only one thousand taels. How many decades can I buy a car from you? Do you think I have worked hard all my life just to make money for you? ?”
Tang Zhao:......
Forget it, if you can’t pass the exam, then you can’t pass the exam.
A gust of wind blew by, making the atmosphere a little awkward.
Tang Zhao originally wanted to proceed step by step, but at this time he could only change the subject abruptly and said: "Actually, the student is from Zhaocheng. He heard that there was a trouble in his hometown, so he hurried back thousands of miles back. I wonder if Zhaocheng is okay?"
Xiao Wang said: "It's okay, it's just that it's sealed and the city gate is not allowed to enter. You definitely can't go home when you come from out of town. Just go to a nearby city and wait for news. It can take at least two or three days, or more. Five days. Either you can go home safely after five days, or you don’t have to go back at all.”
Tang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief - he really still had time, but he deliberately showed panic and said anxiously: "What should we do? The student's home is still there... Since the city has been sealed, the people will naturally evacuate, right? I don't know. Where have my family gone?”
Xiao Wang said: "If you don't evacuate, where can you go? The devil's cave may come to any place within a hundred miles. Where can a city with a population of 100,000 hide? If you hide in the countryside, you may be taken away. It's better to stay in the city. . Anyway, the most dangerous time in the empty demon cave is the moment it arrives. At that time, space fluctuations will bloom, disturbing the surroundings - not many people will die. When the space stabilizes, there will be only one passage connecting the different spaces, and the demon will not If you come out, there will be no harm. In this disaster, it is harmless. At most, a few hundred people will die, so how can it be your family's turn?"
Tang Zhao looked slightly cold and then said: "Can't the calculation be more detailed? I remember that the calculation of the Demon Cave can be accurate to a hundred feet. Can't we just let the people nearby to evacuate?"
At that time, the magic cave near the Xue family was accurate to the Xue family residence. But that one is special, the devil's cave is actually chasing Xue Daxia himself. Wherever Xue Daxia is, there is the Demon Cave. However, a nearby mountain was also blocked at that time, and the area was no less than that of a city.
Xiao Wang suddenly said angrily: "You kid also says these cheap things..."
Then Brother Li interjected: "Okay. I said that you, the Talisman Sword Master, have also read books. Unlike those rough swordsmen who only know how to use their swords, you can use your brain. Don't you know the empty magic cave? The difference between it and other devil caves? Other devil caves have active traces of the demons, so it is easier to calculate. Only the empty magic cave is mostly formed by accidental spatial dislocation. It is a change of the sky. There may not even be demons in it. How can it be so easy to calculate? ? It can be estimated to be within three days and within a hundred miles. This is the result of our exhaustion."
Tang Zhao knew that what he said was true. He had checked a lot of information in Longyuan Xuanji Tower and understood all these things. The empty magic cave was indeed different from other magic caves. It was a bit strange to even call the magic cave. It would be better to call it "space". "Fragments" and "Small World" are accurate. But it does bring disaster when it comes, so there is no problem in classifying it as a sinister disaster.
Therefore, although the words of these two people were unpleasant, they really did not mean to do anything bad, they were just incompetent.
He could only sigh: "Is there any limit to Tian Yan Technique?"
Xiao Wang sneered and said: "How new is it? The word "Yan" in Tianyan is "yan", not "glaring eyes". Do you think you are staring at the sky to see with your eyes? No one has front and back eyes, so they can see everywhere. Is it clear? I heard that Marquis Gao Yuan is said to be far-sighted and can tell the autumn from a leaf, but I don’t know if I can see it..."
Halfway through his words, Brother Li stared back - this is Yunzhou, and it is still taboo to praise or criticize Marquis Gao Yuan, so he just said: "Don't ask, you can't understand the things in the sky if you have eight heads." .Honestly wander around in the three-thirds of an acre of land that you have."
As we talked all the way, the city was already in front of us.
Xiao Wang instructed him to enter through the north gate, because the north was close to the garrison. Now the Zhuocheng garrison has been occupied by the Procuratorate and has become the command post for dealing with the Zhuocheng Demon Cave. The two people from Qingtian Temple also live there.
Tang Zhao stopped at the city gate and saw that the city gate was closed and guarded by soldiers.
Zhaocheng is the most majestic city in the south of Yunzhou. It is the seat of Riyang County. It has been an important town since the previous dynasty. In the distance, you can see the majestic city wall with hundreds of pheasants. The city gate tower is nearly ten feet high. The tiger sits on the dragon's plate. There is also a moat several feet wide under the city, a suspension bridge with high iron chains, and tall turrets on both sides. It is really a steel-like fortress.
Tang Zhao also knew that this city gate not only looked good, it had been reinforced with layers of talismans and magical formations, and it had become even more majestic after a hundred years. There are officials from the imperial court who guard the city and rationally mobilize the talisman formations. The defense of the city is more effective with half the effort. With one man at the gate, even an ordinary swordsman cannot attack by force, and it is beyond the reach of an ordinary army.
Now, there was a person standing in front of the city gate that had been cleared for a long time.
When you look closely, you can see that the person is a young woman, wearing a military attache's uniform. Her appearance is heroic but also a bit bright.
The two doctors got out of the car and had to move their numb limbs. When they saw the woman, they were surprised and thought to themselves: Weird, why did she change her attitude today and come out to greet us?
Looking at the woman's face again, she had a pleasant expression and a smile as bright as a peach and a plum. She had indeed changed her temper.
Although they were not dealing with each other, since they were giving face like this today and there was an outsider like Tang Zhao, it was not convenient for the two of them to look at each other coldly and both nodded in greeting. Xiao Wangjie flattened the wrinkles on his clothes with his hands without leaving a trace.
However, the two doctors stayed where they were, waiting for her to take the initiative.
Sure enough, the woman stepped forward with a smile and stretched out her palm, either to shake hands or to hug. This frightened the two of them and they couldn't help but move forward.
The woman took a few steps forward, missed the two of them, and then held Tang Zhao's hand tightly.
Mai Shiyu, deputy envoy of Zhuocheng District Prosecution Department, said with joy: "Why did you come here? I've been waiting for you for a long time, Azhao!"
