Li Kuisheng knew that no matter whether he could hand over the spirit sword today or not, County Magistrate Kong would not let him go, so he had already made arrangements.
Li Kuisheng's only concern was Li Qier. Just before going to the banquet, Li Qier had been stunned by him and was currently on the carriage to Liangzhou. He found Li Qier's Taoist master a while ago. Although she may not return to Zhou Quan when she returns to Liangzhou, it is too dangerous for her to follow him now.
The bond in Li Kuisheng's heart has been sent away, so he has no concern anymore. He doesn't care about the general, the noble prince, the dog-headed county magistrate, or the princess who comes from afar!
Zhao Bai'er secretly shouted in his heart: "It's really sharp!" He had heard Ji Beichen say before that Master Li was impatient and unforgiving in his words, but he didn't expect that he would scold him so viciously as soon as he opened his mouth, and he couldn't resist it for a moment.
Kong County Magistrate has been persecuting Li Kuisheng just to find his faults so that he can be punished, so that the Juhe Jianzhuang and the Dragon Veins of the back mountain under his name will belong to him.
Li Kuisheng had been carefully avoiding Li Kuisheng before. I don't know what happened today, but he unexpectedly bumped into him desperately, which just suited his wishes: "Li Kuisheng, this county magistrate wants you to forge the spiritual sword and contribute to Wuyou Town, so I have indulged you many times. You are so stubborn and stubborn, tonight is General Zhao’s welcome banquet, and you actually spoke rudely!”
County Magistrate Kong found out what was wrong with Li Kuisheng and was about to call the Yamen Mansion soldiers to escort Li Kuisheng down: "Here comes someone..."
However, Ji Beichen waved his hand and asked Magistrate Kong to wait. He raised his hand and saluted Li Kuisheng with a cupped fist: "This must be the owner of the village, Mr. Li!"
Li Kuisheng was a rough man. He only glanced at Ji Beichen and did not recognize him. Li Kuisheng felt that although this person was on the same side as Magistrate Kong, he had an indescribable and convincing feeling. His anxious heart calmed down a little, and he immediately returned the greeting: "I am Li Kuisheng from Juhe Jianzhuang." , who are you?"
Seeing that Master Li had calmed down, Ji Beichen said, "I am Mu Chen, the adopted son of Mu Qing. This time I came to Wuyou Town with General Zhao to find a sword for General Zhao. But these spiritual treasures and immortal weapons all belong to their owners, and whoever owns them depends on fate!"
Li Kuisheng felt that Mr. Chen in front of him was very polite and what he said was reasonable. But he still said what he should say today: "Young Master Chen is right. Choosing spiritual weapons and treasures really depends on fate, and casting them Naturally, making a spiritual sword is not an easy task! I have been forging swords for many years, and my body is getting weaker and weaker, and it is difficult to improve my craftsmanship. I hereby resign from the position of spirit sword forger in Wuyou Town. Juhe Sword Manor will also be permanently closed and will no longer be available. Forge a sword!”
Magistrate Kong didn't want Zhao Bai'er to say anything, but Mr. Chen stopped him, but there was no need to blame him. Li Kuisheng could not escape today.
County Magistrate Kong was thinking about how to convict him. When he heard Li Kuisheng's words, he immediately took over Li Kuisheng's words and said: "Resign? Mr. Li, what you said is wrong. Everyone has come all the way to Wuyou Town just to have a look. As for that spiritual sword, you can seal the furnace as you say. Do you really think that the dragon veins on the back mountain of Juhe Jianzhuang belong to your Li family? You can resign, but the dragon vein mineral deposits on the back mountain and the sword-hidden pavilion of Jianzhuang It will be confiscated from now on and belong to Wuyou Town County Government!"
After Magistrate Kong said these words, he felt much more relieved and relieved the depression in his chest. Magistrate Kong has been in trouble these past two days. After last night's dinner, he was arrested by someone and beaten, and hung in front of the county government office. This morning he was laughed at by the people in the town. Just now, Miss Bai died again. Order, let him deal with Master Li no matter what, and get the back mountain of Juhe Jianzhuang.
Just when County Magistrate Kong was feeling proud and felt that his evil plan had finally succeeded, "Mr. Chen" dressed as Ji Beichen spoke again: "What is Magistrate Kong doing?"
When County Magistrate Kong saw that Mr. Chen wanted to intervene again, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He originally wanted to use Zhao Bai'er's hand to punish Li Kuisheng, but he didn't expect that Zhao Bai'er wouldn't cooperate and the "Master Chen" he brought with him would do bad things to him again and again.
Although Mr. Chen is Mu Qing's adopted son and has a noble status, he has no absolute friends in the face of interests. County Magistrate Kong immediately turned cold and said: "Mr. Chen, what does this county magistrate do to punish people in this county? What does this have to do with you? I’m afraid even General Zhao doesn’t have the right to ask!”
"You..." When Ji Beichen saw that Magistrate Kong had broken his heart and forced Master Li to hand over Juhe Jianzhuang, he wanted to stop him. He didn't want to be blocked by Magistrate Kong and didn't know what to do.
Just when Ji Beichen felt that he had nothing to say, Princess Ziying Chen Ying'er, who was sitting opposite Ji Beichen, suddenly said: "The words of Kong County Magistrate are wrong. Since ancient times, 'the imperial power does not extend to the county, but only the clan'." Kong County Although Ling is the county magistrate personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, Wuyou Town is subordinate to Cangzhou City, and Cangzhou City is decided by Prince Mu, so of course Prince Mu has the final say on the matter of Wuyou Town. Even if His Majesty is here in person, I’m afraid I don’t have the right to intervene!
Nowadays, who doesn’t know that Prince Mu in Cangzhou City has been ill all year round, General Zhao is in charge of military matters, and this Young Master Chen, Mu Chen, is Prince Mu’s designated successor! "
"This...Princess Ziying, is this Mu Chen really the heir of Prince Mu? Why have I never heard of it?"
Magistrate Kong didn't expect that Chen Ying'er, who had been silent all this time, would actually speak for Mr. Chen. He remembered that this morning, Miss Bai clearly told him that she wanted Chen Ying'er to help him get the backseat. How could she be so abnormal tonight?
"The person surnamed Mu has the final say in Wuyou Town. To punish Juhe Jianzhuang, we have to go through my brother Achen!" Zhao Baier also realized at this time that he was really not comfortable with the twists and turns in the officialdom. Understand, after Chen Ying'er's reminder, Zhao Bai'er felt that he and Ji Beichen's backs had become stronger again, so he pretended to be arrogant, sat on the main seat, and lectured Magistrate Kong with his nostrils pointed upward.
"Yes, yes, what General Zhao is teaching is that it was the villain who overstepped his bounds. The villain will punish himself with a drink as an apology!" County Magistrate Kong saw Zhao Bai'er's face of wanting to punish him and quickly stood up and punished him with a drink of wine to apologize. He couldn't care less about the mission at the moment. It was important to hold his thigh in time to save his life.
Zhao Baier was dragged to have a drink by County Magistrate Kong. Ji Beichen did not want to participate, but started chatting with Master Li: "Master Li, I have an unkind request, and I hope you will fulfill it!"
After what happened just now, Li Kuisheng knew that the people attending the dinner tonight were not as dirty as he thought, and there were also righteous people among officials and powerful people.
At this time, Li Kuisheng felt grateful to Mr. Chen who was dressed up by Ji Beichen. He tried his best to accomplish ten things, not to mention one thing. He said without even thinking: "Young Master Chen is really hard on me." , if you have anything to do, just ask."
"Master Li is a generous man, so I will visit Jianzhuang tomorrow and we will have a detailed discussion then!" Ji Beichen did not want to reveal his identity at the banquet, so he made an appointment with Master Li to visit him tomorrow.
"Li Kuisheng is waiting for you at Juhe Jianzhuang!" Li Kuisheng clasped his hands and made an agreement with Mr. Chen before leaving the banquet early and returned to Jianzhuang.
After Li Kuisheng left, Zhao Bai'er was pulled aside by County Magistrate Kong to drink and talk. The dinner had been murderous just now, but now only Ji Beichen and Chen Ying'er were left sitting across from each other.
Ji Beichen sent Li Kuisheng away, thinking of Chen Yinger's help just now, and wanted to thank her. Ji Beichen looked up and saw Chen Ying'er at the opposite table, drinking wine and tasting a plate of river delicacies just served by the servant.
Ji Beichen stared at it for a long time and was amused by the way Chen Yinger was eating fish.
Chen Ying'er is a person who loves river fresh food at first glance, but she must have had a fish bone stuck in her throat when she was a child. Chen Ying'er first picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks, dipped it in the seasoning on the plate, and then put it into her mouth, tasting it deliciously. After a while, Chen Ying'er seemed to find that the fish in her mouth had fish bones, and she frowned and spit it out secretly.
Chen Ying'er ate very seriously. She took a bite, dipped it in it, chewed it and spit it out on the ground. She also didn't forget to take a sip of wine.
Ji Beichen looked at Chen Ying'er's small mouth that kept spitting out, and gradually fell into it. He suddenly felt that he had seen this scene before! Ji Beichen had felt that Chen Ying'er seemed familiar to him when he was in the inn before. When he looked at the petite person in front of him, he was so similar to the person in his heart. The delicate and lively appearance overlapped...it was her!
Ji Beichen was thinking about her and stared at Chen Ying'er opposite him again and again. He hesitated for a long time and felt that it was not the right time to acknowledge her here and now, but he really had a lot to ask her! Ask her if Senior Baishi has brought his greetings; ask her why she came to Wuyou Town and pretend to be Chen Ying'er; ask her if he owes this Demon Sect Kung Fu to her; ask her... .There are so many things I want to ask her!
Just when Ji Beichen determined that the person in front of him was Yan Yueli, he found that he was a little dizzy and seemed to be drunk. He just had a few drinks, how could he be drunk? Could it be that if the wine is not drunk, everyone will get drunk!
When Ji Beichen realized that something was wrong with him, he felt that his vision had begun to blur, his eyes were distracted, and his body was gradually getting hotter!
Ji Beichen secretly yelled "Not good", he was poisoned! But what kind of poison is this? Why can't he feel pain? After being poisoned, it feels a little comfortable, so comfortable that he completely relaxes, so relaxed that people can't help but think about her and his Li'er...
Soon Ji Beichen noticed changes in his body. He was so ashamed that he just wanted to escape from this place quickly. Ji Beichen didn't have time to think carefully about who was poisoned at this time, let alone Zhao Bai'er. He was careless. Seeing that the dinner was formal and irregular, he thought that the people from the Chenghuan Sect were not there, but he didn't want to fall into the most violent double cultivation of the Chenghuan Sect. poison!
"What's wrong with Mr. Chen? Are you feeling unwell?" Yan Yueli, who was sitting opposite, noticed something was wrong with Ji Beichen and quickly stood up.
Yan Yueli followed Bai Shuxiang to the Kong County Magistrate's Mansion this morning and learned that they wanted to "use" Zhao Bai'er. Yan Yueli stunned Chen Ying'er, the princess of Ziying County, pretended to be her appearance and went to the inn where Ji Beichen was staying to participate in the Kong County Order's dinner.
Yan Yueli didn't know what she wanted to do. She was originally here... Now she has met his people, but she is pretending to be someone else at this time. Even if Ji Beichen thanks her, the person he is "thanking" to is naturally not her. ...Seeing that Ji Beichen looked different at this time, he didn't care about his current fake identity. His face was no longer cold, and his worry was palpable.
