Chapter 311: The First Person in Yongzhou

There were three major military divisions in the Zhou Dynasty.

Department of Soldiers and Horses, Department of Internal Affairs, and Department of Mountains and Seas.

The Military and Horse Division is responsible for attacking and killing, and is responsible for the peace of the world; the Internal Affairs Division is top-notch in cultivation and is responsible for guarding the safety of the royal family; and the last Shanhai Division has excellent intelligence and is now in charge of the royal arsenal and has close contacts with Yunlu Academy.

Shi Wenbo, Cui Jin, and Ji He came from these three major martial arts divisions respectively.

Ji Zikong obviously had other intentions in arranging these three people to go to Yongzhou together. He wanted to give Xue Zhao sugar dates, but he also secretly kept a secret and did not fully trust the general of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Ji Zikong reminded: "General, the situation in Jinzhou and Danzhou is getting more and more corrupt now, so don't delay it any longer. You can lead the army to attack tomorrow and strive to expel the Huangtian thieves in Jinzhou and Danzhou. Clean. I always feel that they have big plans in those two states.”

"I obey the order," Xue Zhao said solemnly.

Ji Zikong waved his hand nonchalantly and passed by Xue Zhao with his personal eunuch.

Along the way, Ji Zikong suddenly said: "Chu Daban, I remember if the descendants of the Huangfu family are in Yongzhou?"

Standing next to Ji Zikong, the chief steward of the Internal Affairs Department, Chu Yuanfu, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty has a good memory. Huangfu's direct lineage was indeed in Yongzhou back then. The old slave also heard that there are still Huangfu descendants in the local Military and Horse Department. Take charge of the post.”

Ji Zikong pondered for a while and said: "I have given you a verbal order to ask the chief mission officer of the Huangfu family to come to Beijing in the near future and enter the Shanhai Department to collect the world's wisdom for me."

Chu Yuanfu, the chief internal officer, was a little surprised and said, "Your Majesty plans to re-activate the Huangfu family?"

"The Huangfu family has been suppressed for so long. They must be eager to make contributions in order to change their situation. In addition, the Huangfu family is not a famous family. Even if they gain momentum, they don't have to worry about losing control. After thinking about it, they are the most suitable people to do this. It’s a good thing,” Ji Zikong said casually.

Chu Yuanfu nodded and said: "I know this, I will make arrangements now."

Ji Zikong realized that the prisoner at Qintian Prison was hiding something from him. Although he didn't know what the other party's purpose was, he didn't like this feeling very much.

In comparison, he still prefers to take everything into his own hands, so that he can sleep peacefully and move forward and retreat freely.

This is true even if it is an important matter in the ancestor's cultivation.

Yongzhou.

Three days have passed since the demon incident. After the maintenance of Shen Qing and others, Yongzhou, which was originally in chaos, gradually returned to calm.

Even if they did not regain the prosperity of the past, they had finally defeated the demons, which made them full of confidence and filled the city and outside with joy.

After this incident, Shen Qing became famous and became the number one person in Yongzhou, known as Da Qingtian.

For a time, what he did became a topic of conversation among the surrounding counties.

Many people would even come from far away just to bet on his charm.

Shen Qing was also a little bit dumbfounded about this.

He didn't expect that what he did would have such a result.

However, compared to these external reputations, he still values ​​​​the real gains more.

He really benefited from the turmoil in Yongzhou this time.

In addition to the Huangfu family, almost all the properties of the thirteen families in Yongzhou were acquired by him.

Many restaurants, porcelain kilns, banks, pawn shops, etc. changed their names overnight, becoming Shen family's industries in the blink of an eye, giving birth to a new behemoth.

In addition, there were countless treasures collected from major families, which subverted his cognition and made him extremely rich all of a sudden. He would not have to worry about cultivation resources for a long time to come.

Bang, bang, bang.

There was a rhythmic knock on the door.

"Please come in." Shen Qing said without thinking.

In the back hall of Weiwu Si Yamen Office, a familiar figure opened the door and walked in.

Tian Xiaohu clasped his hands and said, "Sir, Wu Sheng is here."

"Let him in."

"yes."

Tian Xiaohu hurriedly walked out of the door, brought in Wu Sheng, who looked slightly haggard, and led him to Shen Qing.

Shen Qing looked at Wu Sheng and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, we meet again."

As a member of the Wu family, Wu Sheng stood in front of Shen Qing with mixed feelings in his heart.

He didn't expect that the plain-looking foreigner from the past could actually do this to such an extent that he could eradicate the Wu family behind him with just a few moves of his hands and feet.

If he hadn't been out running a business and escaped being implicated, it would have been hard to tell what would have happened.

Wu Sheng bowed deeply, with a bit of anxiety and gratitude in his voice: "Thanks to Mr. Shen for not giving up, it is really Wu's luck to see Mr. Shen again."

Shen Qing raised his hand slightly to signal Wu Sheng to excuse himself: "Your Wu family is involved in the collusion of demons. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, the three clans will be punished together for the crime. Do you know?"

As soon as Wu Sheng straightened up, his feet immediately went weak again, and he knelt on the ground and said in a panic: "Sir, help me."

To be honest, he is just a concubine of the Wu family. His status in the Wu family is low, and his mother died young, so he doesn't have much affection for the Wu family at all.

He didn't care whether the Wu family lived or died as long as it didn't involve him.

Hearing Shen Qing's tone now that he was going to attack him made him very scared.

His cultivation level is really not enough in front of Shen Qing. If he really wants to be attacked, he will have no room to resist.

"Hey, what can't be saved?" Shen Qing quickly helped Wu Sheng up and said: "Brother Wu, we met by various fates, but we are old acquaintances. Even if I have to sit with others, I can't sit with you. ah."

Hearing these words, Wu Sheng was deeply moved. He knelt down on the ground and said, "Master Shen, Wu Sheng will go through fire and water as long as he has something to do. I am willing to do my best for you."

"Brother Wu, speaking of which, I really have a favor to ask of you."

"My lord, it's okay to say so."

"I remember that you can obtain wish beads and elixirs from other places. You have a way, right?"

Wu Sheng glanced at Tian Xiaohu, who was looking at him vaguely.

"Master Shen..."

Shen Qing said: "But it doesn't matter, we are all our own people."

Wu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously: "To be honest with Master Shen, I do have some ways to obtain elixirs and wish beads. I wonder what you want to do?"

Shen Qing smiled and said: "I want to use your power to build a trade route specifically from the capital. No, the whole world is collecting wish beads and rare elixirs for me. Are you willing to help me with this?"

He has now collected the accumulation of twelve high-ranking families in Yongzhou, and has a huge wealth in his hands. To him, these money are just common things. In this messy world, he is far from the peace of mind that comes from improving his cultivation.

In his opinion, instead of keeping it in his hands, it would be better to turn it into cultivation resources and use them to improve the cultivation level of Tian Xiaohu and other subordinates.

With the help of these training resources, even if the Ji family controls martial arts, he can find some opportunities in other ways.

After the Yongzhou demon incident, he finally saw it clearly.

In this martial arts world where great power belongs to individuals, sometimes if you want to move up, fighting alone won't work.

When necessary, there must be someone around to help.

If Tian Xiaohu and the others were superior this time, they might be able to discover some clues early and nip the danger in the bud, instead of being forced to counterattack in the end.

This time, he was lucky and had a chance to break through to Xiantian. Otherwise, he really didn't know how to end the situation in Yongzhou.

"Master Shen, the elixirs and wish beads I have are all from the hands of wealthy men from aristocratic families in Kyoto, as well as those officials in the court who live in poverty. Sir, I don't know how many wish beads you want. And pills?" Wu Sheng asked.

"There is no upper limit. First, collect all the elixirs and wish beads that can be found in Kyoto. Later, you can find a way to recruit more people and go to all parts of the world to collect these weapons."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Sheng couldn't help but turn pale in shock, and his body seemed to be suddenly hit by an invisible force.

He guessed that Shen Qing's appetite might be quite big, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

Isn't Shen Qing's behavior equivalent to secretly building a private version of Shanhaisi?

What does he want to do?

Rebellion?

Wu Sheng's heart was beating hard and his throat was dry: "Then I'm afraid it will cost a lot."

"Money?" Shen Qing seemed to see through Wu Sheng's worries and chuckled: "You don't have to worry, I will arrange the money. Just let go and find a way to let the martial arts in Kyoto flow out." All the machines can be used by us.”

"You must have noticed that the world is about to be in chaos. A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, so we must take precautions for the current situation."

Wu Sheng fell silent upon hearing this.

He felt that what Shen Qing said was reasonable.

However, the scale of the shady businesses on hand now is not large.

If it was as Shen Qing said, then he would have to spend a lot of effort.

As she spoke, Shen Qing took out a jade sign and tossed it casually.

Wu Sheng subconsciously caught it.

Shen Qing made a hand seal and urged it.

Wu Sheng suddenly felt the majestic spiritual energy surge out, making him feel refreshed, and the bottleneck of his cultivation that had remained motionless for many years began to loosen.

Just when he was about to immerse himself in it, Shen Qing grabbed it with five fingers, and the jade token was taken back into his hand.

"Do you know what this is?"

"What?"

"Not long ago, there was a spiritual accumulation in the spiritual place outside the city."

"A place of inspiration?" Wu Sheng was confused.

"If you can do it well, this jade medal will be yours. There may be more situations like this in the future. Don't you want to give it a try?"

When Wu Sheng heard this, facing Shen Qing's unquestionable eyes, he faintly realized that the world was about to change, and maybe this was also an opportunity.

He knew that he had no retreat, and soon he made a decision in his heart, and said firmly: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

…

Outside the towering city walls of the capital, a wide and long official road winds and stretches.

The road is full of people.

Under the city gate, a group of people wearing soft armor and carrying swords walked out of the city.

Pedestrians on the official road stepped aside to make room for this group of people.

The leader of this group was an extraordinary-looking man, who looked to be in his thirties.

This person is Shi Wenbo, the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.

He lightly tightened the reins, looked deeply into the distance, and said in a deep voice: "The land of Yongzhou has always been a place where people's livelihood is prosperous. I didn't expect that it would be rampant by demons. I'm afraid that all lives will be ruined after this."

"Back then, Your Majesty separated the Weiwu Division from your Military and Horse Division to deal with monsters. Fortunately, these years, the number of people in the Weiwu Division has not been reduced, and there are more and more monsters. What kind of truth is this?" followed behind Shi Wenbo. A young butler with a stern face said in a sharp voice.

Shi Wenbo snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for Wei Wusi, there might be more monsters in this world, and the Huangtian Sect's traitors would have already arrived at the gates of Kyoto. And you, a eunuch, are causing trouble here?"

"You..." Cui Jin was furious.

A gentle and elegant prince walked out between the two men and quickly advised: "Okay, this time His Majesty sent us there, he must have noticed something, not just a demon. You two should not be angry, and work together to do this job well."

Shi Wenbo nodded slightly and took over the conversation: "Yes, there seems to be a hidden secret between the lines in the memorials reported by Yongzhou recently. As imperial envoys, we should help His Majesty to see the blue sky."

"I will naturally not delay His Majesty's business."

Ji He smiled and said: "Both adults are right. In this case, let's hurry up and get on the road."

"That should be the case. Who do you think should take him first?"

The three of them couldn't help but look at the young man behind them - Xue Yan, the third son of the Xue family.

Seeing that the three men's eyes were all focused on him, Xue Yan bit the bullet and said embarrassedly: "Three sirs, I'm really sorry that I'm holding you back."

Among the four people, three are in the Lingxu realm and can control the rainbow light and travel a thousand miles a day.

Only he is in the Danren realm and can only move forward by foot, which slows down everyone's journey.

But the three did not complain.

At present, Xue Zhao is leading the troops outside. His Majesty must have other deep meanings in arranging his three sons to go with them, which is not something they should secretly speculate.

"I'll go first, five hundred miles each."

Ji He pinched his hands, and a dazzling rainbow light suddenly bloomed, and a ray of light surrounded Xue Yan like a silk ribbon.

Afterwards, Ji He stretched out his body, merged into the rainbow light, and rose leisurely towards the vast sky: "Let's go!"

After that, the rainbow light became brighter and flashed across the sky.

Shi Wenbo and Cui Jin looked at each other, and then quickly mobilized the spiritual power in their bodies, and each of them put their palms together.

In an instant, two dazzling rainbow lights gathered around the two of them, one blue and one red, and followed Ji He and Xue Yan, breaking through the clouds and rushing into the sky.

They were extremely fast and headed straight for Yongzhou.

Along the way, the whistling wind was blocked by the rainbow light.

Only the magnificent mountains and rivers were left in front of them.

About half an hour later, Ji He shouted, "Go!"

After saying that, he threw Xue Yan with one hand, and he was thrown to Shi Wenbo like a sack.

Xue Yan, who was in the air, screamed in fear. Just when he felt a sense of weightlessness, a blue light dragged him and moved forward steadily.

"Master Shi, you must hold on to me." Xue Yan said palely.

Shi Wenbo did not respond, and silently increased his speed.

Several people continued to drive the rainbow light to hurry on their way.

After some corrections, they finally arrived in Yongzhou in the evening of the next day.

"We are here."

The three of them looked at the tower below them, and Xue Yan, who was as pale as paper, quickly descended, faded the rainbow light, and stood at the gate of Yongzhou.
