Bai Hao gently waved his bamboo fan, holding his back with one hand, and slowly appeared in front of the county government office.
When Zhang Yuci saw that the person coming was none other than the inspection envoy Bai Hao, he hurriedly stepped forward to bow and salute, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Yuci has met Mr. Bai in Longquan Town!"
Bai Hao had an unclear smile on his face and said playfully: "Didn't Mr. Zhao just say that I let go of Magistrate Zhang's pigeons?"
As soon as he heard that the inspector called himself the king and saw the handsome face that was famous in the Earth God Continent, no matter how stupid the old man was, he knew who the inspector was. He turned pale with fright and quickly bowed and apologized: "This old slave has blind eyes, so he didn't recognize Master Bai. He is indeed handsome and has a lot of talent!"
Bai Hao curled his lips and looked dismissive. He ignored the ancestor of the Zhao family's rainbow fart and turned to look at the young county magistrate Zhang Yuci. He remembered that he had seen this young magistrate in the court before. What magistrate Zhang looked like at that time Although he is not very handsome, he can still be regarded as a fair-faced boy. Unexpectedly, after only a few years, he already has a wheatish complexion.
Bai Hao nodded slightly and said, "I came here to this small town on His Majesty's order. At that time, a group of Qin country's cultivating seedlings will travel here. The purpose of my coming here is also to escort these seedlings safely. Walking through the town. There is no need to make any noise about this, just keep a low profile, remember to keep a low profile."
Bai Hao naturally didn't want to reveal more about the so-called escort trip to the two people in front of him, not because he couldn't believe it, but because it involved some secrets of the town. Even an arrogant person like Bai Hao kept silent. Let's not talk about the small town, because in the eyes of some people in the small town, so-called geniuses like Bai Hao are worthless in their eyes.
Zhang Yuci loudly said: "I obey the order!"
He knew what the word "Qin" meant. As the largest of the six overlords in the Middle-earth Divine Continent, Qin's power could not be compared to that of Shu, one of the six overlords. Not to mention that Xia was only Shu. A vassal state of the country is really too small. If the Xia State had not produced several wise kings with good policies in succession and a spiritual genius like Bai Hao, I am afraid that the country of Shu, which has many vassal states, would have been overthrown by other vassals. annexed by the country.
Bai Hao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Relax, just treat them as if they are here to enjoy the mountains and rivers."
The arch-backed ancestor of the Zhao family had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two of them. When he heard that the Qin monk was about to enter the town recently, he was so frightened that his crotch tightened.
Bai Hao glanced at the ancestor of the Zhao family casually and saw that the latter looked hesitant, his whole old face was like a frosted eggplant, he frowned slightly and kicked the latter on the butt, "Pack up and go home." , tell those bastards in your family to stay away from trouble these days, and if they dare to stir things up too late, then don’t blame me for being rude, it will not be as simple as a plaque."
Bai Hao also heard about the theft of the golden plaque on the Zhao family ancestral hall on the way here.
When the ancestor of the Zhao family heard Bai Hao's words, his face turned purple and blue, and finally he sighed, the family is unfortunate.
Bai Hao put away his bamboo fan and reminded: "Why don't you get out of here?"
The old man didn't say much and turned to leave.
Bai Hao clasped his hands behind his back, slowly walked into the government office and sat in the high hall, looking a little lazy, and said: "Actually, I am here this time to escort the monks down the mountain, and secondly, the town is now Just like a frightened bird, a single move can affect the whole body, so in order to suppress the various forces, His Majesty also ordered me to come to the town for a visit this time."
Zhang Yuci was confused when he heard this, as if he was falling into the clouds.
Bai Hao continued: "You don't have to think too much. The reason I'm telling you this is just to take this opportunity to complain."
Bai Hao smiled warmly and said, "As for the three-surname families in the town, you can rest assured. Since I will definitely go there when I get here."
In fact, the three major families in the town are indeed a troublesome thing for Zhang Yuci, a young county magistrate, because these three major families have been entrenched in the town for many years and are very prestigious. Among them, Longquan Zhao The family's surname is the head of a small town, which also makes it difficult for Zhang Yuci to implement some local policies. This time, Bai Hao and he were playing the red face and the other was the bad face, which could be regarded as a mark of power for the ancestor of the Zhao family.
Bai Hao stood up and rubbed the bamboo fan, "I am a little tired, please take me to the resting place."
————
After the carriage left, Zuo Shuwen looked gloomy. He thought he would never have the chance to see Bai Hao, an enemy he had never met before, in his life, but he did not expect to meet Bai Hao and his group in the small town.
"Zuo Shuwen, what are you doing squatting here?"
A slightly childish voice sounded in his ears.
Zuo Shuwen turned his head and looked aside.
As a result, he saw a boy standing next to him, holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand and stuffing one in his mouth. He said vaguely: "Zuo Shuwen, are you waiting here for me on purpose to steal my candied haws?" eat?"
After saying this, the boy stared at Zuo Shuwen with vigilant eyes, while not forgetting to hide the candied haws behind his back.
Zuo Shuwen twitched his lips. This boy was Li Qian, the son of Li Dadong in the blacksmith shop. Li Qian, the lawless little devil in the town, although he didn't have a bad temper, his mouth made it difficult for people to say anything. He probably inherited it from his mother. With his fierce temper, the boy showed great talent in quarreling and swearing in the street at a young age. He was also the only student who could give Lu Ran a headache.
After a battle between heaven and man, Li Qian said seriously: "If you are really greedy for my candied haws, you can give me a tael of silver and I will reluctantly sell you one to try."
If Zuo Shuwen hadn't seen the naughty and mischievous character of children, he might have been deceived by his innocent expression.
Zuo Shuwen smiled dryly and said: "A gentleman does not take away from others' favors. Since you value this bunch of candied haws so much, just keep it for yourself."
The child probably felt that Zuo Shuwen could remain indifferent even though he had made such a big concession, so he yelled: "Zuo Shuwen, do you want to buy it or not! If you don't tell me the truth, I won't sell you!" "
Zuo Shuwen was speechless. He had no way to deal with this weird little guy. Among the three brothers, only Zhong Quan could cure him. The big one and the small one were sympathetic to each other. In Li Qian's words, Zhong Quan was the one he could kill. The two brothers who had chicken heads and burned yellow paper were secretly hiding aside every time they met, and Zhong Quan's laughter could be heard from time to time.
Seeing that Zuo Shuwen ignored him, the child felt bored and ran back home. Before leaving, he did not forget to make a face at Zuo Shuwen.
Zuo Shuwen squatted on the curb for a while, looking at the muddy road, thinking about how to deal with Bai Hao if he met Bai Hao again. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a countermeasure, so he had to use soldiers to block the water and cover it with soil. , Anyway, if Bai Hao really knew his identity, squeezing him to death would be as easy as squeezing an ant on the ground to death. Zuo Shuwen also sighed in his heart. He had not even touched the threshold of the path of cultivation, let alone revenge and restoration of the country.
In fact, Zuo Shuwen once tried to explore the first level of Qi guiding to start the path of spiritual practice by himself. But strangely enough, Zuo Shuwen could clearly bring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, but there was no sign of spiritual energy in the Qi Mansion Dongting. , apart from attracting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth every day to strengthen the body, it has no other use. Logically speaking, as the prince of a country, his cultivation talent should not be much worse, but Zuo Shuwen has been unable to enter the third level of cultivation. step.
Zuo Shuwen stood up, patted the dust on his clothes and prepared to go home. Unexpectedly, a pair of hands stretched out from behind and pressed him down hard. It turned out that Zhong Quan appeared behind him at some point. The tall boy said carelessly: "Why? People are squatting on the roadside, where is that boy Xia Chengyi?"
Zuo Shuwen slapped Zhong Quan's big hand away with some disgust, "Do you think everyone is doing nothing like you?"
Zhong Quan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you just wandering around doing nothing? Why, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps?"
Zuo Shuwen covered his forehead and said, "That's not how this sentence is used."
Zhong Quan glared, "Just understand the meaning. Why, you read some books about sages and look down on me?"
Zuo Shuwen held his head and sighed.
Zhong Quan jumped up and looked at the city gate of the town from a distance, "What do you think the official officer did for coming to our town this time?"
Except for Zhang Yuci, the young county magistrate who looked a little silly, the town had not welcomed anyone from the imperial court to the town for several years. I heard from the old people in the town that the reason why the imperial court did not send anyone down was because the war situation in the east was tense, and the Shu Kingdom had to ask the vassal states it supported to send heavy troops to guard the east pass to prevent the monsters from invading; secondly, it felt that There is no need to come to a small place like their town.
As the easternmost overlord of the Middle-earth Divine Continent, the Kingdom of Shu has long-term friction with the demon monks of Dongming Cangzhou. At the same time, it was also influenced by the demon clan. The capital of the Kingdom of Shu was moved from East Shu to West Shu, and the boundary of East Shu It was left to the monks of Mingjian Pass to guard it. Affected by the years of war, the Shu Kingdom was in decline and on the verge of collapse, and everyone in the court was panicked. At this time, the Xia Kingdom was also quietly rising, and it was likely to take its place.
Zuo Shuwen's eyes narrowed, his expression changed again and again, and finally he shook his head, "I don't know either. I heard that the disciples of a certain large sect went down the mountain for a long trip, and they asked the official to escort these people."
Zhong Quan put his head in his hands and held a root of reed grass in his mouth, "Big sects, do you think our three brothers can be chosen as disciples by those big sects?"
Zuo Shuwen said angrily: "Don't you claim to be the greatest cultivation genius in all time? Isn't it easy to join a sect and become a direct disciple?"
Zhong Quan was not annoyed, scratched his head and smiled.
Zuo Shuwen looked at the amber-colored sunset in the distance, then turned and left, not forgetting to shout: "Let's go!"
Zhong Quan quickly followed.
"Do you think the gods on the mountain will accept me as a disciple?"
"how could I know."
