Chapter 181 Fame

"Why did Xu Ningzhen appear in Jianjia Pass?"

In the Yuyi Pavilion, there were heavy curtains. Madam Zhu Zi was dressed in plain clothes. Facing Zhang Duanjing who lowered her eyebrows, her tone was slightly harsh: "She is the key person to deal with Liang Tao. The time has not come yet, how can we let her Suddenly showing up?"

Zhang Duanjing replied slowly: "Zhao Shu faced the evil gods at Jianjiaguan and almost died. Xu Ning was really eager to save her son, so it is not surprising that she showed up immediately."

"Don't avoid the important and take the light!" Mrs. Zhu Zi scolded: "I have reminded you several times in the past, don't let Xu Ningzhen expose her whereabouts. Does it prove that you can't restrain her if she appears in Jianjia Pass?"

"With the divine sword in hand, Xu Ning is really invincible." Zhang Duanjing said: "If you want to restrain her, you can only understand her with emotion and move her with reason."

Mrs. Zhu Zi stood up, her eyes turned cold: "After so many years, your heart has softened. You seem to have forgotten that Xu Ning's soul and natal talisman is in the Qingyao fairy book. If she violates the order of the emperor , Immortal registration was removed, Zhu criticized the life, sent the soul into the underworld, and suffered all the hellfire! Is there no restraint?"

Hearing this, Zhang Duanjing raised his head suddenly, his usually steady and deep eyes showed a trace of anger.

"You are not the Heavenly Monarch of Canghua. It is not up to you to decide whether you should be promoted or dismissed within Qingyao's immortal register." Zhang Duanjing said bluntly: "Or, you not only want to use this to restrict Xu Ningzhen, but also use it to control Xu Ningzhen. threaten me?"

Madam Zhu Zi's expression softened, and she slowly stretched out her hand to stroke Zhang Duanjing's cheek: "Why do you hurt me by saying this?"

Zhang Duanjing turned his head to avoid it, and said coldly: "I was already a dead person. I was lucky enough to be saved by Tianjun back then, and I was listed in the immortal register to keep my soul and vitality alive. Fa, these years I have devoted all my energy to begging for the Star Soul Sword Embryo from Hong Xueke, and borrowing the hands of Yang Liujun to forge a divine sword, and I believe that there is no deviation in what I do."

"Okay, I'm not blaming you. I'm just worried that you are too affectionate and forget about business." Madam Zhu Zi withdrew her hand and sat down with her sleeves up: "But no matter how you say it, Xu Ningzhen's attack this time may have already made Liang Tao wary. "

Zhang Duanjing restrained his anger and said: "Xu Ningzhen's temperament is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and the divine sword is urging her from the side. If she is forced by life and death, I'm afraid she will do more extreme actions. I have temporarily detained her, and Now that Zhao Mi is safe and sound, she will not act recklessly."

"Zhao Shu..." Mrs. Zhu Zi sighed softly: "This good student of yours has surprised all the masters in the world. I didn't expect him to be the official biography of the Tianxia Dynasty's praise officer. You should go over this matter." But never said."

"Praise officer is Zhao's family school. After Zhao Wei came to Huaiying Pavilion, I also studied it hard, but it is not as good as Zhao Shu's since childhood." Zhang Duanjing said.

Mrs. Zhu Zi said: "But Zhao Mi was able to make Bo Xing go back, and such a big event happened, and he didn't write a letter to report himself. Doesn't he have His Majesty in his eyes?"

Zhang Duanjing said bluntly: "Zhao Mi is on the front line of the border, and everything is complicated, so it is inevitable that he was negligent. What's more, I have already asked Zhao Mi about this matter. It is beyond his control. This is the profound part of the rituals and rituals, and it is difficult for outsiders to understand."

"It's inappropriate to let him go outside after all." Mrs. Zhu Zi said: "Today's court meeting, Chu Fenggui entangled with all the officials, impeached Zhao Shu for arrogating the honor when he returned to the court triumphantly, and claimed that he sent people to search for money on the way back to the court. Cargo, carrying several carts of jewels and treasures."

Zhang Duanjing said: "Zhao Mi is not this kind of person."

"Of course I know." Mrs. Zhu Zi smiled lightly: "It's just that you, a student, spent money lavishly during the Jianjia Pass. In order to support the front line, most of the salaries of all officials in the capital will be cut off this year. How can he Doesn’t attract hatred? Your Majesty called him back to the court for his own good, otherwise the battle will continue, and words like raising the bandits’ self-respect will come out.”

"Respecting the bandits? After all this war, can you still say that the Jiuli Kingdom's crimes are insignificant?" Zhang Duanjing said: "The demon gods of the Southern Land are ready to move. Even if the ten witches in Fengju are defeated, the future situation cannot be judged lightly. .”

"You have already said this to His Majesty, so you don't need to repeat it." Mrs. Zhu Zi was still talking, but when she noticed a disciple coming outside, she asked, "What's the matter?"

"Just now there was an urgent report from Jianjiaguan that Gao Pinggong and his son suddenly fell ill, and both died suddenly." The disciple of Yuyi Pavilion said softly.

"How is it possible?" Mrs. Zhu Zi opened the curtain from the air, took a photo of an urgent report, read it for a while, handed it to Zhang Duanjing, and signaled the disciples to step back.

"Mr. Gao Ping died strangely." Mrs. Zhu Zi frowned slightly: "The sudden death of illness is just an excuse. According to the emergency report, Mr. Gao Ping's father and son suddenly turned into demons, and the two of them devoured each other. When the guards came to rescue them, Duke Gao Ping has been disemboweled, and his son has lost so much blood that he cannot be rescued. What do you think?"

Zhang Duanjing looked at the text on the urgent report, with a serious expression and a calm and slow tone: "I'm afraid it's the Jiuli Kingdom who took the opportunity to retaliate. With such a demonic appearance, the Jiuli Kingdom has appeared before."

"The ghost really lingers!" Mrs. Zhu Zi leaned on the chair, "Jianjia Pass cannot be presided over by anyone, who do you plan to recommend to take the post?"

Zhang Duanjing shook his head: "It's not my turn to say more about this matter, His Majesty has his own decision."

"You don't intend to let Zhao Mi go again?" Mrs. Zhu Zi asked tentatively.

Zhang Duanjing said: "The evil god Youzhu appeared in Jianjiaguan, and caused a great massacre. Zhao Shu survived, exhausted physically and mentally, and had no intention of doing so. The official duties of the company have also been neglected, what else can you expect him to do?"

"That's fine." Mrs. Zhu Zi nodded, and suddenly sighed: "Mr. Gao Ping was once favored by Liang Tao. He died suddenly. I'm afraid there will be another change in the court."

Zhang Duanjing corrected: "Back then during the Sangong Rebellion, Liang Tao only saw him as mediocre, incompetent, and easy to control."

Madam Zhu Zi asked: "Do you think that Gao Pinggong's death is related to Liang Tao?"

Zhang Duanjing said: "Even if the facts are found out, can we still use this to accuse the crime?"

"Xin Taicheng has been watching the weather recently, and found that Liang Tao's cultivation is still improving." Mrs. Zhu Zi suddenly said: "He suspects that the current Qingya Wonderland has been completely controlled by Liang Tao, and he is constantly grabbing the clear air of the cave. The mana of cultivation is increasing day by day, and no one will be able to control it if it continues like this."

"Although the divine sword in Xu Ningzhen's hand can invade the immortal body, there is still no guarantee that he can kill Liang Tao with one sword alone." Zhang Duanjing said: "I still have the same idea. Right now, let Liang Tao arrange scientific rituals. At the moment of ascension to immortality, the energy of the heavens and the earth will undergo drastic changes, and the true spirit will be exposed to transfer the yin and yang of the heavens and the earth, which is the time to kill the immortals!"

……

The carriage passed through the city gate and slowly entered Dongsheng Capital, and a nursery rhyme could be heard from a distance:
"There is a catastrophe, named Zhenming, who descended into the world and appeared as a swordsman..."

"The people are like leeks, cut them back to life, their heads are like chickens, they sing after they are cut..."

Hearing these nursery rhymes, Luo Xixian in the carriage couldn't help saying: "Here we go again, even Dongshengdu has people singing these evil words."

Xin Shunying next to him put down the scroll in his hand, with a worried face on his face: "I heard these ballads, it seems that Zhao Mi is mentioned in it?"

Luo Xixian snorted coldly: "He is now famous all over the world. I have heard about it from as far away as Xingluo County about the opening of altars and patrolling the territory, and the reversal of the stars, one by one!"

"I didn't expect Zhao Mi to achieve such an achievement in just a short period of time." Xin Shunying saw her husband's displeasure, and said instead: "His sudden rise in status is obviously promoted deliberately by the king. Jealousy, making up all kinds of slanderous words."

"Fortunately, the villain!" Luo Xixian said casually.

Xin Shunying persuaded: "This is too serious. Zhao Mi has been your classmate for many years and has been with you in Huaiying Hall for a long time. Don't you know his temperament?"

Luo Xixian glared at him: "Power can change people! He was just a poor scholar back then, but now that he has tasted the taste and was promoted by the ruler of the country, how can he know what kind of temperament he will become? What's more, when I was in Xingluo County, I already saw that Zhao Mi is the first-class soft bone in the world, otherwise he would not have decided to part ways with him."

"I don't think Junior Zhao is this kind of person." Xin Shunying shook her head lightly.

"You still call him junior?" Luo Xixian couldn't hide his anger.

Xin Shunying patiently explained: "Now that you are a county guard, since you have returned to the court to report on your duties, you will inevitably have to communicate with your colleagues in the court, and you can't act on your own will. Zhao Shu is now a prince, and we are all from Huaiyingguan , Walking with each other as classmates can also avoid birth."

Luo Xixian sneered: "They may not be happy to see us."

The carriage stopped outside the gate of the mansion. Luo Xixian and Xin Shunying paid a visit to their father. After a few words of pleasantries, Da Sima said bluntly: "Jianjia Pass has changed again. Mr. Gao Ping died suddenly. The court needs to send another person to take charge of military affairs."

Luo Xixian asked, "Who does His Majesty plan to send?"

"It's hard to say now." Da Sima paused: "But after the court meeting is over, His Majesty will discuss with me alone for a while."

Luo Xixian was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Could it be that father is going to take another job?"

"It's hard to say now, don't spread the word about it everywhere." Da Sima stroked his beard lightly: "Now sitting in Jianjiaguan, not only to take care of military affairs, but also to arrange officials and officials for the newly established counties. And compared to Juhong Pass is a single piece of iron, and now there is a shortage of manpower inside and outside Jianjia Pass, and many people are staring at this piece of fat."

Seeing Xin Shunying's pensive face, Da Sima spoke kindly: "What is my daughter thinking? There are no big or small family members, so you can say whatever you want."

Xin Shunying nodded and said: "Eunuch, I was just thinking, if His Majesty has already decided on the candidate, there is no need to ask more questions. There are many descendants in the Huaxu Kingdom's clan, and although Duke Gao Ping died, there is no shortage of replacements. Obviously, His Majesty has other ideas. .”

"Mr. Gao Ping has a difficult task. If it wasn't for the fact that the country abdicated after the chaos of the three princes, how could he have supervised the military affairs of Jianjiaguan?" Da Sima said bluntly, "Wei Xiuwen wrote to me earlier about the military affairs of Jianjiaguan. Abandoning Chi is also thanks to the fact that since Shouyang's resignation, Jiuli Kingdom has rarely violated its borders, and it is not too late to cause a catastrophe. It is a good thing that Gao Pinggong died for no reason when he assumed office again, and it will save a lot of trouble!"

Xin Shunying knew in her heart that her father-in-law, Luo Yi, was fought on the battlefield with a knife and a gun, and she looked down on those clan dignitaries who made little contribution and enjoyed their success.

Compared with the false title of Da Sima, the real power of the governor's army town is obviously more attractive.

"If someone can recommend it from the side, this matter may be possible." Xin Shunying said.

Luo Xixian immediately said: "Isn't Uncle Wei on the way to be a teacher? When he meets His Majesty and asks about this, he will definitely mention the successor."

Da Sima smiled and shook his head: "I am his old officer, who doesn't know? If he recommends me in front of His Majesty, I'm afraid that things won't work and it will cause suspicion. Besides, the Wukui Army is built with internal funds allocated by the king. If you are sensible, Don't talk about Uncle Wei in the future!"

Luo Xixian bowed his head and said yes, and Da Sima got up and paced: "If it were in the past, I guess I wouldn't have bothered so much. Back then, I handed over the military power to save the lives of my family. But it is different now. The power of Chongxuan Hall in several counties in the south Uprooted, they're not going to sit idly by."

Xin Shunying asked, "Is your father-in-law worried that the chaos in the court and China will get out of hand?"

"That's right." Da Sima nodded heavily: "At this time, the only thing we can do is to hold the military power in our hands and operate outside. If there is a change in the future, we can still have a foothold. Now that the Jiuli Kingdom has been defeated, the Jianjiaguan area is the place to avoid disaster and seek good fortune. .”

"Actually, I do have a candidate. If he is willing to come forward, my father-in-law will definitely be appointed as Jianjiaguan." Xin Shunying said.

"Who? Tell me quickly!" Da Sima and Luo Xixian both asked curiously.

Xin Shunying hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Zhao Mi."

Luo Xixian was taken aback for a moment, and his face immediately became ugly: "Whether my father can be hired outside, what does it have to do with him?"

Xin Shunying explained: "I have heard about it for a long time. Although General Wei was ordered to supervise Jianjiaguan, he mainly used troops abroad. It was Zhao Shu who really presided over local governance. Now that he has returned to the court in advance, if he can please He came forward to speak on his behalf, and things can be done!"

Da Sima was overjoyed at first, and then his face darkened: "I'm afraid this move will be impossible. After Zhao Mi returned to the court, he kept behind closed doors in the mansion saying that he was sick, and he didn't even show up at the court council. He clearly expected that others would Come to the door to beg, and simply avoid it."

Luo Xixian sneered and said: "Zhao Mi is as timid and fearful as before, how can you count on this person? He is only a small achievement, and immediately attracts people to cling to him. I am afraid that his exaggeration is not true. Father, don't be deceived."

"Others can't believe it, but Wei Xiuwen can't believe me?" Da Sima shook his head and waved his hands: "I was mistaken at the beginning, this person can make a new look in Jianjia Pass in just a short time, this kind of person's future achievements are limitless , it’s better to make friends with him.”

When Luo Xixian heard this, his face was extremely unhappy. Why did he return to Dongshengdu again, as if everything revolved around Zhao Mi?
"I have a way." Xin Shunying said: "Since it is inconvenient to show up as a colleague of the imperial court, why not use the name of the same door in the hall. Didn't Zhao Mi call the sick and close the door? Visiting the door and delivering medicine for treatment are all the same. Method."

Da Sima praised: "This is indeed a solution, but I'm afraid Zhao Mi still won't see each other."

"Other people may not be able to attract Zhao Mi to come forward, but in the Huaiying Pavilion, one is the head seat, and the other is Shi Huoguang. They are the people Zhao Mi cares about the most." Xin Shunying smiled confidently: "I have a way, I can do it. See Zhao Mi."
