The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 591
For nearly 500 years, Zhongzhou has divided the world with the "state-city system".

Kyushu has been a righteous alliance for decades, but the "nine" in "Kyushu" is just an extreme number.

Zhongzhou is not only Kyushu, but 36 states.

The 36 states are divided into states, territories, and territories based on their population size, infrastructure, and economic development.

Under the state is the city, which is divided into three parts: city, capital, and county.

There are about ten cities in each state.

Therefore, whenever people talk about Zhongzhou, they generally refer to it as "Zhongzhou is so big and fertile for thousands of miles".

If you ask how can you see it?

Just answer "Zhongzhou is divided into 36 states, more than a hundred cities, thousands of small towns, and countless villages."

Three miles east of the old temple is the Dongjun Gate of Luzhou County.

Just like Zhongzhou copper coins, they must be round on the outside and square on the inside.

Regardless of their level, size, and internal layout, the hundreds of cities are all square city walls, symbolizing the roundness of the earth.

The county ranks last in the urban system hierarchy.

The height and thickness of the county wall are lower and thinner than the city wall and the capital wall, let alone the border city wall.

The border walls are often called the Great Walls, and the County Walls are the Small Walls.

Compared with the needs of the ritual system, the city wall is more meaningful as a fortification in Luzhou County, which is located at the junction of Shu, Guizhou and Chongqing.

As long as the three prefectures don't rebel together, no matter which one of them shows signs of turmoil, Luzhou County can be the bridgehead for suppressing chaos.

Therefore, the height of the city wall in Luzhou County is not low, the city is five high and the corner is seven high.

Upstairs in Dongjun, the four city guards were paying attention to the movements in the night inside and outside the county wall.

Xiao Qi, who is in charge of the night watch tonight, is born old-fashioned. He is just over his age but has the kind face of an old man.

Fortunately, he didn't grow old early, otherwise he would have become a real pulsatilla.

At this moment, the old minister, Xiaoqi, was facing the city, with his hands resting on the edge of the wall, seemingly staring at a place in the distance, but actually dozing off, which fit his old image very well.

This is really no wonder he.

Half a month ago, the higher-ups dispatched a large number of people for the first time, and strictly ordered to strengthen internal and external patrols.

Although it has not reached the level of martial law, it is enough to see from this posture that the determination of the higher-ups to clean up the majesty is not small.

Those things that happened in the rivers and lakes will more or less become the topic of after-dinner conversation. The old minister Xiaoqi has heard a little about the Hundred Flowers Conference.

It's just that he never thought it would have such a profound impact that even the job he relies on for a living has changed a lot.

A series of measures, for him, has only one benefit.

With four more younger brothers under his command, Xiao Qi, who has been working for most of his life, finally lives up to his name.

However, there are only a few people who are recruiting people, and there are more than one generation at the same level and at the top.

There are more times of bowing their heads and bowing their heads, and more people are grabbing jobs, but the pay in their hands is less.

Each city tower only needs to arrange two small soldiers to be on duty at night during the daytime, and no one will be held accountable for his little leader who does not stay up at night for a whole year.

At present, it is a shift every five days, and you must be on duty.

Tonight is already the third round of the strict order, and the old minister Xiaoqi obviously hasn't adapted well.

After walking around the county building bored for a while, I felt tired and sleepy.

Just now, I heard a small noise in the far end of the city, and immediately there was a jolt.

However, the place where the incident happened is far away, and with his eyesight, he can only see that no less than [-] guards have been dispatched by the Yamen.

I can't see why, which is very disappointing.

There was no movement for a long time, and he was even more drowsy.

Fortunately, he closed his eyes and took a nap.

After an unknown amount of time, I suddenly felt itching on my face and raised my hand to scratch it.

His eyes were slightly opened, and there was still silence under the night moon.

There is no reason for a moment to be bright and a moment to be dark.

Although he has a big belly, the old Xiang Xiaoqi, who can smash rocks with a knife, leaned out of the wall vigilantly, turned around and looked towards the horizon.

With just one glance, the old minister Xiaoqi retracted his body into the county building.

He gave himself a silent but heavy slap.

Can't stop whispering in the mouth, old and useless, dazzled, dazzled.

He closed his eyes again, as if to rest his mind.

After a while, it slowly opened.

Caressing his heart and breathing deeply.

The clothes inside the lightweight armor were completely wet as if they had been soaked in water!
The old minister, Xiaoqi, who thought he had recovered his life, felt lucky, but there was nowhere to express his grief.

Since his grandfather's grandfather's generation, Zhongzhou has respected martial arts, and the fist is bigger than anyone else's.

Between the imperial court and the rivers and lakes, the imperial court used to have a big fist, but gradually it became a big fist in the rivers and lakes.

Fortunately, there are good and evil in the world, the evil will always be suppressed by the upright, and the upright is less likely to threaten the rule of the court.

Nevertheless, the party with the bigger fist will always have more reason to say.

People in the rivers and lakes are slowly breaking the rules.

The imperial court gradually couldn't control the Jianghu people.

From the imperial court to the rivers and lakes to the market, everyone has slowly adapted to such changes.

In a short period of time, it is not easy to reverse what has become a natural thing.

The county building where the old minister Xiaoqi was staying had a county wall of five feet high, and with the addition of the superstructure of the county building, it was seven feet high.

However, houses are not allowed to be built within three feet of the small city wall, and buildings within five feet cannot be higher than two feet.

Even if the person who just passed by was neither a fairy nor a ghost, it would not be an exaggeration to call him an expert.

Ask him to fulfill his duties, stop people and restrain them regardless of the reason, and report to each floor for instructions, otherwise he will lead the crowd to kill him, that is absolutely not dare.

As if nothing happened, live a few more years or more depending on your ability.

If Tou Tie goes to stop him, after a few years or more, I don't know if anyone will come to visit his grave.

He even wanted to goug out his troublesome eyes that had to see what happened.

He couldn't see clearly whether the other party was a man or a woman, old or young, fat or thin, and the oppressive feeling that hit his face almost killed him on the spot.

Although the imperial court has recently sent people aggressively, from the perspective of the old minister Xiaoqi, the world should still be regarded as a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, right?

Impossible and have to pretend to be tough, like slapping a swollen face to pretend to be fat, what a pain!

……

……

The surname of the ghost demon Ji is Ji.

Ji Mucheng's Ji is also the Ji of the former ruler of Qianlong Kingdom.

Zhongzhou has a history of more than [-] years, and its territory is naturally not static.

More than 300 years ago, the Gouli Kingdom spent several generations of efforts, and finally built a new country on the old land of the former Lihan Kingdom.

This Xinguo is a piece of flesh that Gouri cut off from Zhongzhou, and it is also the city wall that Gouri used to fight against Zhongzhou.

The name of the new country is Qianlong.

Taki means rapids, and Qianlong means thousands of rapids.

Gou Li originally intended to rely on Qianlong to create a steady stream of troubles, so that Zhongzhou, which has been suffering for a long time, has no time to look east, so as to enclose land and expand its borders.

Unexpectedly, Ji Na Luoyan, the lord of Qianlong Kingdom, was ambitious and unwilling to be a puppet. He pretended Zhongzhou’s coercion to reject Gouri’s interference in internal affairs, and asked Gouri for resources to challenge Zhongzhou. In just 24 years, he built Qianlong Kingdom into a A strong country.

After Ji Ying succeeded to the throne, Qianlong Kingdom was still thriving.

At that time, Zhongzhou was not yet under Zhu's family, and the several head-on collisions between the Qianlong army and the Zhongzhou army did not lose the wind in the slightest.

If we can take steps at every step and fight steadily, it will not be difficult to divide and govern the Northeast of Zhongzhou with Gouli within 20 years.

However, Ji Ying was so eager for success, and the internal and external actions that were too eager for quick success excessively consumed national power, which gave Zhongzhou a chance to take advantage of it, split Qianlong from the inside out, and 38 years of glory came to an abrupt end.

Qianlong intercepted the river, and the old land was taken back by Zhongzhou.

The blood of the subjugated country fled to all directions because of their insight in advance, avoiding the extermination of the clan.

More than a dozen Ji family bloodlines have been tossed and turned several times, or died of old age and illness on the way to escape, or took root in various parts of Zhongzhou.

Some descendants of the Ji family could not forget the old country, encouraged their ambitions with poems, and planned to restore the glory of the past through the efforts of generations.

Today, the Ji family's subjugated bloodline has been passed down for nearly twenty generations, and even Zhongzhou's surname is no longer Cheng but Zhu, and the Qianlong Ji family that has not succeeded in spreading its branches and leaves, how many people can still have that illusory The Aspirations of the Restoration of the Country?

Even if some descendants of the Ji family who were not afraid of life and death jumped out and threatened to restore the old country, they would all be regarded as a joke by the people of the time.

As the direct descendant of Qianlong Ji's family, there are also those who wish to be immortal.

The great-grandfather of Ghost Demon Fairy was a witness to the most prosperous era of Qianlong Ji's family after the change of dynasty in Zhongzhou.

At that time, the Ji family was well-known in Zhongzhou with one sword, two swords, three fists, four legs and five hearts.

He was elected as the leader of the martial arts alliance by the heroes of the world, taking over the class of the old man with the heart demon in the Demon Palace.

At that time, the great-grandfather, who was only a child, imagined that when he became the leader of the martial arts, would he be able to realize his ambition of restoring the country?

But things turned out to be contrary to expectations, after the head of the family got old, although there were many strong people in the Ji family, there was no one who was able to master his own martial arts.

There are new talents in the rivers and lakes who respect martial arts, and a group of heroes rises together, and the update iteration is not slow.

The Ji family, which couldn't keep up with the pace, quickly became unconvincing, and was replaced within ten years after reaching the top, and quickly turned from prosperity to decline.

Although it sounds a little naive, great-grandfather still has the slightest idea of ​​building a momentum for the restoration of the country by virtue of his martial arts prestige.

When it came to Ji's father, he didn't have such thoughts at all.

As a beautiful man, Ji's father only cared about bringing the good-looking women into the house one by one, lingering in the flowers all day long, and died young.

With such a father, and a mother without the slightest status, it would be great if the ghost and demon girl could not be ashamed of her embarrassing life experience, let alone the unattainable restoration of the country.

Most of them are romantic sons of the same father and mother. After leaving the temple of the gods with serious injuries, there is no elder sister who is always watching, basically following the old road of father Ji.

His uncle Ji Mucheng and Guanqian turned against the Ji family and left Chuxi, focusing on witchcraft and driving corpses, making people look like ghosts or ghosts.

Unexpectedly, he really made a name for himself, but he is just the notorious Fourteen Evil Men.

The uncle looked down on the romantic son who "adhered to his father's will", but he admired the eldest niece quite a lot.

In this world, only this eldest niece could see clearly that everything this uncle did was to restore the Qianlong Kingdom.

Several times, I have approached my niece in private and wanted to join forces with the two of them, but they were all declined.

But Ji Mucheng was not annoyed. He knew that his niece was not willing to be an ordinary woman. He kept heading north. If he could help Wala successfully invade Zhongzhou, even if it only took [-]% of Zhongzhou's country, the nomadic state that was more inclined to divide the land and seal the king would also be happy. Hand over the land.

At that time, he would push the boat forward and let his niece become the king of the New Thousand Taki Kingdom. Presumably, he would not refuse.

More than a hundred years ago, the founders of the temples of the gods thought that the gods in the temple should be destroyed, and the gods in the heart should be eliminated. It is better to seek self-help than to hope for help from others.

More than 20 years ago, after the flamboyant ghost and demon concubine entered the Temple of the Gods, she took a big step forward on the road blazed by her predecessors.

—Anyone can be their own god.

The temple of the gods is no longer just the gods in the ruined temple, the gods except the gods in the heart, but also the gods who are gods!

The temples of the gods, which were somewhat mediocre at first, have risen by the wind since then, and have continued to grow and develop. At one time, they were the leader of the Universal Alliance.

Even though the Universal Alliance fell apart under the suppression of the imperial court, the strength of the Temples of the Gods, which still exists, cannot be underestimated.

Based on this, Ji Mucheng believed enough that once his niece was able to take the position of King Xinqianlong, another empress from Zhongzhou would be just around the corner.

……

……

Ghost Demon Fairy admits that she is unwilling to be ordinary.

But she also has no unrealistic fantasies.

Many people in the Jianghu know her surname Ji, but they seldom associate this surname with the surname of Qianlong Ji, who died in the country.

She really hadn't thought about returning to the country.

She is happy to be the leader of the martial arts.

Especially after learning about the family's past, she is doomed to be down-to-earth.

People in the Jianghu seldom connect her with Ji Mucheng, because the two of them don't act like each other at all.

For her uncle, she can't say that she likes her, because she thinks his wish is unrealistic.

But she doesn't dislike her uncle, because he is a bit like her, and he is moving forward in a down-to-earth manner.

At the Hundred Flowers Conference, she missed the leader of the martial arts alliance, and suffered a severe injury. So far, she has only recovered [-]% of her strength.

She wasn't bothered by it.

Just because she can imagine that the road to power must be full of thorns.

A little carelessness, bruises and bruises all over the body are minor, and there is a high possibility of life.

The old opponent Feng Chen stumbled because of this.

Between her and Feng Chen, because of their different positions, they would often wish to rip each other off.

But if they can cast aside the shackles of their respective identities, the two should cherish each other.

Ghost Demon Fairy thinks she is not smart enough. After all, the world is treacherous, and there are too many obstacles that are difficult to see through.

Thanks to her being a woman, besides being extremely rational, she still has a few sensibility.

Like intuition.

Ghost Demon Fairy can almost believe that Feng Chen's death has little to do with those evil sects.

They should be just tools to be used.

The development of the current situation in the arena is the best evidence.

The Nether Cult couldn't shrink back, and obviously didn't want to let the imperial court take advantage of it.

The Doshita Gang and Buji Island were making wishful thinking, but they didn't know who they got on the line with in private.

The reason why the seemingly hard-working Red Clothes Sect and the Twelve Sects of the Heavenly Fiends took so much trouble is probably because they wanted to take advantage of the situation to cut meat from the imperial court.

Similarly, her intuition also told Gui Mei Yao Ji that the killer Ye Xiao who had disappeared must be to the east.

In her opinion, the ones who can be grouped into the same category as Smiling Maitreya and Xie Fei are either Nightmare and Crying Lady, or the old man and Luo Piaoling.

"Howling Judge" Lu Hao died in Wuziping, which means that Heiwuchang will never return to Nether Sect.

Jiang Yichen went to either the Chrysanthemum Garden or Tingyu Pavilion.

Ghost Demon Fairy also has a sensibility to protect the calf.

This may be born out of the maintenance and care of the younger brother.

The family background of the Ji family is not bad, but the siblings have no elders to take care of them except for food and clothing.

Rather than saying that Merry Man was brought up by the ghost and demon princess, it would be better to say that Merry Man was brought up by ghost and demon princess.

The elder sister naturally always protects the younger brother.

Until one day, the younger brother said that it was good to stay outside, and the older sister let the younger brother go.

As long as the younger brother can live well, the older sister will not interfere too much.

However, the younger brother still left earlier than her.

The always rational ghost and demon concubine has used a lot of power to search for the location of the romantic man's body and clues to the murderer in recent years.

Unexpectedly, it was at the Hundred Flowers Conference that they learned the key information from Yin Li's words and deduced the identity of the real murderer.

The one who killed his younger brother, Ye Xiao Jiang Yichen!

The Ghost Fairy wants to avenge her younger brother.

Missed it at the Hundred Flowers Conference, she thought this time would be a great opportunity.

But it was too late, that guy slipped away early.

That being the case, she will chase after it!

It is said that this newly promoted Hei Wuchang is the real Hei Wuchang, who can always survive catastrophe, but she wants to try the truth!

If you can't kill it once, you can do it twice, three times!
He failed three times, and the other party didn't come to seek grievances, so the feud was wiped out, and he was just a stranger.

　"Pheasant" is an ancient area measurement unit, three feet long and one foot high are pheasants.
