The army was silent all the way towards Qingzhou. However, many evolvers came to inquire, but Qin Ge dismissed them vaguely.
On this day, the army arrived at the border of Yanzhou. Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Bao Xin and other representatives of the Yanzhou gentry held a grand welcome ceremony.
Qin Ge wanted to refuse, but they dragged him into the banquet hall. Qin Ge was also overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the crowd.
During the banquet, I got a general idea from Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Bao Xin, Qiao Mao and others. It turned out that Baibo bandits were rampant now, and a large number of demonized Baibo soldiers appeared in Yanzhou. In addition, Liangshan troops and Qilin City reached an agreement.
The Liangshan bandits shifted the focus of their strategy to Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and sent troops to harass the Qingyan area, leaving the Yanzhou troops unable to fight back.
The Yanzhou nobles are really panicking now. They have forgotten how they suppressed and annihilated Qin Ge before. Now they hope that Qin Ge can help them get justice and deal with the Baibo bandits and Liangshan bandits.
Qin Ge is also very troubled by these two bandits, but now that Qingzhou has just been pacified, he has invested a lot of money to gradually restore people's livelihood. Although he has the power to fight against the Baibo bandits and Liangshan bandits, it is undoubtedly more important to fully develop the people's livelihood in Qingzhou. .
That's why Xun Chen was allowed to wander around, reach an armistice agreement with Yang Feng and Song Jiang, and submit massive amounts of grain and grass supplies to the two groups of bandits in installments every year in exchange for the stable development of Qingzhou's people's livelihood.
Although tough generals such as Zang Hong and Yu Jin believed that they could not surrender to the bandits like this, Qin Ge now focused his strategy on civilized hunting, so he could only use appeasement policy in exchange for a short-term peace.
Moreover, as Qingzhou becomes more and more prosperous and powerful, the corresponding bandit forces will continue to weaken, and it can be said that they can defeat others without fighting. Therefore, Qin Ge is in the stage of hiding his power and biding his time, and does not want to break up with the Liangshan bandits and Baibo bandits.
Qin Ge felt a little ridiculous about the Yanzhou nobles' eagerness to seek medical treatment. To be precise, both the immortal and demonic forces in Yanzhou have begun to join the world. However, the demonic forces are obviously stronger than the immortal ones, which has led to various strata in Yanzhou. Split.
However, compared to the prosperous Yanzhou, the war-torn Qingzhou is still relatively poor and deprived. In addition, Qin Ge obtained Qingzhou's broken Zunding, and the immortal and demon worlds are still unable to open sects and build fairy mountains in Qingzhou unscrupulously.
Qin Ge was no longer the vigorous young man before, so he took out the decrees from the imperial court and the immortals and demons, saying that he was going to lead troops to conquer the outside world, and there would definitely be no troops to send.
However, they can form an offensive and defensive alliance with Yanzhou and trade strategic materials, weapons and armor with each other. Although the Yanzhou nobles have not achieved the expected results, they have settled their differences with such a powerful military group as Qin Ge, and they have achieved half of their goal. .
After attending the banquet, Qin Ge's army went all the way east and came to the mountain gate of Yingchuan Overbearing Academy. The former Overbearing Academy was hidden in the barrier between the clouds and mist.
Now with the advent of Immortal Dao Xuanmen, the Overbearing Academy has also appeared in the river, looking magnificent and unusual.
Qin Ge's army marched to the Overbearing Academy, and took Dian Wei and Jia Xu to go to the Overbearing Academy to extort money. The three of them came outside the Overbearing Academy.
Jia Xu's face looked a little unnatural. At this time, he had returned to his true appearance. He was wearing a black sun and moon wind robe and a thick scarf on his head. His face was dark and thin, with deep-set eye sockets and a short beard on his chin. He has a somewhat mixed-race appearance, and looks rebellious.
Jia Xu is a very withdrawn person. He usually shrinks back, puts his hands in his sleeves and is silent. His deep eyes seem to be able to penetrate everything. He is full of defense and vigilance towards everyone.
Qin Ge came to him several times to talk and chat, but Jia Xu was like air, only responding with um and ah, or flattering praises, which was incompatible with Qin Ge's singing and laughing with the soldiers when he was marching.
It is completely different to have a heart-to-heart relationship with highly intelligent people like Xu Shu and Tian Feng.
"What? You're scared! You were so brave back then! You actually dared to prostitute the old man for free. You don't know that the old guy is petty and vindictive..." Qin Ge has become more familiar with Jia Xu in the past two days, unlike before. It's so awkward to get along.
Listening to Qin Ge's words, Jia Xu looked a little unnatural.
Suddenly Qin Ge felt a pain in the back of his head, and saw that Hu Zhao had appeared behind him and gave him a violent shock on the head, directly interrupting Qin Ge's words.
Qin Ge jumped up in pain and cursed: "Which blind bastard attacked me secretly? Don't you know whose territory this is and who is covering it?"
Hu Zhaoman said with black lines on his forehead: "You are so arrogant!"
Qin Ge turned around and saw Hu Zhao's eyelids twitching and his forehead lit up. He quickly smiled and said, "It turns out it's you, Master! You really love your disciples very much. As soon as I arrived at the mountain gate, you came out to greet me personally and said To be honest, disciples haven’t been home yet? Today is just the time to have a taste of home! I plan to live here for a while, keep in touch with you, and serve you well in the morning, noon and evening!"
Jia Xu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, his face almost pressed to the ground, and he didn't even dare to raise his eyelids.
Hu Zhao's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot. He threw away Qin Ge who was hugging him. His face turned red from holding in his arms. He could no longer maintain his coldness and grabbed Qin Ge's ears and said angrily: "You bastard, why are you still here?" If you want to stay for a few days, you bring over 300,000 people to my place to feel the taste of home. No matter how rich my family background is, it is not enough for a bastard like you to eat and drink like this! If I don’t come out again, my academy will insist on Emptyed by you, a bandit! With your temper, I'm afraid there won't be a single brick or tile left for me. Okay! Now that you've seen me, I also feel your filial piety. You can get out now, but don't do it in the future. Here we go again! Let’s go! I won’t send you away!”
After saying that, Hu Zhao turned around and waved his sleeves to start chasing people away. Qin Ge's mind was exposed, but this guy was unusually thick-skinned in front of Hu Zhao. He grabbed Hu Zhao's sleeve and refused to let go.
Hu Zhao's eyelids jumped and he said: "If you like this dress so much, I'll take it off and give it to you!" As he said this, he was about to untie his belt. It seemed that Hu Zhao couldn't act like a fool when facing Qin Ge.
Qin Ge quickly let go and said with an embarrassed smile: "You are a giant of immortality, and you are quite old. In public, you are simply embarrassing our domineering academy!"
Hu Zhao was helpless in front of this bastard. He covered his forehead and sighed: "What evil have I done? I accepted you, the devil in this world. Tell me! What do you want from me? But I warn you, don't be too harsh." Too much!"
Qin Ge rubbed his hands and came to Hu Zhao's side with a smile: "Master, you see, both the realms of immortals and demons have begun to enter the world. We, the Overbearing Academy, cannot fall behind. As the senior brother of the Academy, I will do my duty to restore my Overbearing lineage." , I also have to be a role model for my junior brothers..."
Hu Zhao's head hurt when he heard it, and he shook his head and said: "Hegemony Academy is an academy, responsible for preaching, accepting karma, and solving doubts. It has the same nature as the Confucianism and Taoism Academy. We have never participated in the territorial dispute between immortals and demons. This I won’t bother you to worry about it anymore!”
Qin Ge circled around Hu Zhao, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Master, you are a scholar of heaven and earth. My junior brothers are also talented in various fields. As the saying goes, gold must shine. Now I have also made a fortune. See if you can let the junior brothers..."
Hu Zhao shook his feather fan and knocked on Qin Ge's forehead, and said with a smile: "I knew that you kid would not be able to afford it early! I said that the Hegemony Academy is just a place of preaching, passing on the knowledge of Hegemony to the world, and Most of my disciples are from noble clans, and there are only a few disciples from poor families. Do you dare to ask for these noble clan disciples? You better develop in a down-to-earth manner! Don’t think about those lofty and lofty things. When you are enough to influence the development of the world, don’t talk about it. Disciple, I will come over and hug your thighs when the time comes!"
Qin Ge seemed to be deflated when he heard this. He had a very clear purpose of looking for Hu Zhao, which was to see if he could abduct a few junior brothers and work for him in the territory, but he heard this result.
Hu Zhaosi took a moment and said: "Let's do this! I can't let you go in vain. I can set up a domineering school in your Qilin College. I will send some disciples to give lectures in rotation. I will go there to give lectures for a few days every six months. It can be regarded as supporting your career development!"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Jia Xu, and he turned around and smiled at Qin Ge: "You really found him! If you can make him follow you obediently, you are enlightened!"
Qin Ge rubbed his hands and said awkwardly: "Isn't this fate! I meet him every time, maybe it's God's will! I made a gentleman's agreement with Mr. Wen He, and I will make the decision for you. He will assist me for five years. , the matter of stealing the teacher back then will be wiped out!" After hearing this, Jia Xu's face became a little embarrassed, and he bowed deeply to Hu Zhao.
Hu Zhao gently shook his feather fan, knocked Qin Ge on the head and said: "Is the full knowledge of a teacher only worth five years? You don't know the goods! This deal is a huge loss! You are still too naive. Oh! You keep doing this kind of loss-making business!"
When Jia Xu heard this, he suddenly sweated. He had only studied secretly in the Overbearing Academy for half a year. Hearing Hu Zhao's tone, he wanted to enslave him for the rest of his life. The two masters and apprentices were more ruthless than the other.
"Just help my disciple! Since you have a gentleman's agreement, I won't say anything else! You are destined to bring trouble to the world. You have always wanted to get rid of your own destiny, but you don't want your talents to be buried in your lifetime. , the so-called "Yin and Yang harmonize, the sun and the moon complement each other", you are a smart man, and I am the only disciple in the world who is most compatible with you. Of course, the choice is yours. Whether you can understand the truth depends on your destiny! "Hu Zhao shook his feather fan and said to Jia Xu.
Jia Xu looked thoughtful when he heard this, but in the end he bowed to Hu Zhaoyi and said, "Junior, please remember the teachings of the Holy Master!"
Hu Zhao looked back at Qin Ge who was listening with his ears straightened up, and said with a smile: "If you can understand my teacher's words, you will be able to sweep across the world and dominate the world in the future. What a pity! You are too blunt, okay? Come on! This trip outside the territory is related to the future of China's people and society. Since you are here, I can't let you go back empty-handed, so I will give you a divination!"
As he spoke, a few copper coins appeared in Hu Zhao's hand, and he put them in his hand and began to perform divination. As for Hu Zhao's divination, he had the ability to predict the future.
Qin Ge really believed it now. After Hu Zhao finished the divination, sweat oozed from his brows. It seemed that the divination was very energy-consuming and he spread his palms.
Qin Ge moved his face closer, and Hu Zhao said angrily: "Do you understand?"
Qin Ge smiled awkwardly and said, "When did you teach me this divination technique so that I can control my own destiny?"
