The two people in front of them were both shocked. The governor surnamed Zhang even thought that Zhao Shun and Pang Zhen had an old relationship. He suddenly screamed in his heart and his desire to win over Pang Zhen suddenly wavered.
The imperial court had long-standing grievances with the localities, and the local warriors in power in each state were also a serious nuisance to the emperor. Therefore, the governor and the magistrate had always been at odds. Pang Zhen had made friends with a powerful monk in Zhiyue Temple, and he quickly offered generous gifts. Ask for the blessing of Shengtuo Mountain. The two sides are evenly matched. If Pang Zhen gets the support of this foreign immortal master, the governor's office will be defeated!
Governor Zhang's face became increasingly gray, and Pang Zhen, who stood frozen in the hall, did not look like he was seeing a happy event.
Warriors are no better than monks. They are proficient in heretic cultivation. They only maintain their skin, flesh, muscles and bones, and have no ability to cultivate their minds and consciousness. It had been more than fifty years since Pang Zhen last saw Zhao Chun. During this period, great turmoil and changes had occurred, and even he himself was no longer as heroic as before, and his appearance had become more decrepit. Now I suddenly heard the sentence "You're fine", and I was extremely shocked.
"Who are you?" His lips trembled and his long eyebrows knitted together, as if he couldn't recall when he had seen the woman in front of him.
Zhao Chun did not embarrass him, and his spiritual consciousness sank in front of him silently. In an instant, a face that he had forgotten for many years suddenly appeared in Pang Zhen's heart. It was a short and thin little girl who lived in the Chu Kingdom fifty years ago. When children were recruited into the capital, he personally escorted them there. And looking at the person in front of me, isn't it exactly what that girl will look like when she grows up? !
"I am the daughter of the governor of Pingyang County. Does Pang Zhizhou remember it now?"
"You are...Zhao Shun," Pang Zhen clenched his fists, his rickety body trembling uncontrollably, "But...but you..."
Fifty years have passed, and the child has already reached the age of sixty. How can he still have the face of a woman with a life span of ten years? It is really unheard of!
His mind paused, and something suddenly came to his mind. When he met Taoist Master Yi Zhiyue Guan in the past, he once said that immortal masters who practice Taoism to a profound level can prolong their lives, have eternal looks, and have all kinds of powers that are common to ordinary Taoists. Out of reach. I'm afraid this is the only reason that can explain Zhao Chun's unchanged appearance for decades!
When Governor Zhang heard the words "Pingyang County Sheriff", he was a little suspicious at first. After contacting the rumors in the city, he couldn't help but reveal a playful smile.
It is said that before the dynasty was unified, Pingyang was a county in the Chu State. The family that governed the city was named Zhao, and Pang Zhen was actually the sworn brother of the head of the Zhao family. When the Chu State defeated Dali, Pang Zhen killed his relatives and cut off the head of the former governor of Pingyang County and presented it to Emperor Taizu. In this way, he was named the magistrate and took over Pingyang. He knew that his move was unkind and unjust, and was even more disgraceful, so he did it without stopping and killed all the wives, concubines, children, and heirs of the county guard. The warriors he had recruited in the past also died or escaped.
Now that the bloodline of the Zhao family is living outside and is successful in cultivating Taoism, how can it not make Pang Zhen panic?
Pang Zhen himself thought the same way. What's more, when he killed Zhao Jian, it was not that he didn't expect that the Zhao family had a daughter who was practicing outside. However, she had not contacted the family for many years, and Lingzhen Taoist Temple had also declined for some years. Later, he was protected by Taoist Master Yueguan, so he called her. He was so confident that he had completely forgotten who Zhao Chun was!
He was speechless, his eyes becoming more and more frightened. Even the Taoist Master of Zhiyue Temple with whom he interacted has not yet reached the stage where his appearance will last forever. With Zhao Chun's strength, it would be easy to kill him!
The two of them faced each other in silence, but Pang Zhen felt that the woman in front of him had a calm demeanor and a gentle gaze, which was no different from someone who came to seek revenge. He immediately felt a bit lucky in his heart. Before he could speak, he heard Zhao Xun say:
"Pang Zhizhou, please take a step to speak!"
Pang Zhen did not dare to disobey, and quickly welcomed Zhao Shun into the inner room. His expression was respectful and humble, and he did not even dare to move his eyes randomly.
Seeing this, Zhao Chun sighed slightly and said, "I want to ask you something."
Pang Zhen was frightened and naturally knew everything Zhao Chun asked. When he saw her asking about a teacher named Zheng in the county governor's mansion, he quickly racked his brains to recall this person's face. Unfortunately, the past was too long ago, no matter how detailed he was. Even if I think about it, it's hard to remember where this person went.
Suddenly, Pang Zhen's body trembled, his tone suddenly raised a bit, and he said: "As for the teacher from Ju State, I don't have much impression, but... at that time, someone from the capital came to pick up a woman named Zheng. Calculating his age, he is just right for the person you mentioned." That hesitation was exactly the moment when he killed everyone in the Zhao family.
"The capital of the country?" Zhao Shun sat upright and asked, "Do you know who he is?"
"The surname is Zhou, from a wealthy family in the capital of Chu State in the past." Pang Zhen responded.
Zhao Shun immediately breathed a sigh of relief and had an idea in his mind. She stood up holding the ends of her sleeves, pursed her lips slightly, and shook her head at Pang Zhen: "Although I am only slightly related to the Zhao family, I will not bear a blood feud for them, but your act of killing everyone and occupying the magpie's nest cannot be said to be innocent. .”
Pang Zhen's eyes widened, but before he could realize the deeper meaning of Zhao Chun's words, the next moment he saw the other party pointing towards his eyebrows, and all his consciousness disappeared in an instant.
After he fell from the chair to the ground, his eyes were blurred and his life was gone. Zhao Xun's heart moved. Ruowu Ruowu heard a soft sound, as if something was being pulled away from him, and then When I looked at the Zhao family's residence, all my feelings of nostalgia disappeared, as if I had never been here before.
She knew that this was the end of her relationship with the Zhao family.
However, Zhao Shun could still sense that his cause and effect in Feihu's small world had not yet been completely resolved. This is probably because the lady Li who gave birth to her has died of illness long ago, and the wet nurse who was kind to her later left the county governor's house. Considering her age, she should also have passed away. Therefore, the cause and effect of the birth is not in Zhao Jian, or in other words , it does not focus on Zhao Jian, but without this blood connection, the relationship between her and Zhao Jian is not as deep as that of the wet nurse.
The monks can sense some things about the cause and effect of the world. Zhao Shun understood that his past was not only in the Zhao family, but also in various past events.
Therefore, she did not stay in the house, but turned around and turned into a wisp of green smoke, heading towards the capital of Chu State, now Duan Chuzhou.
Seeing that there was no movement inside, the maid outside shouted a few times and pushed the door open. When she saw Pang Zhen slumped to the ground with a pale face, she was even more frightened and ran out with her skirt in hand.
…
Cut off Chuzhou.
This place was originally the capital of the Chu State, which enjoyed the country's wealth, and aristocratic families have been entrenched here for more than hundreds of years. Unexpectedly, once the army was defeated, the king became a tyrant, and the courtiers either defected to a new master or committed suicide for the country. The capital of Wangji was also nicknamed "the end of Chu".
