Becoming an Immortal from the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 140
"Besides, tomorrow is the day when Yexian County Government is officially handed over to Dong Chongjun. In this form, I want to go to Yecheng to pick up the officials who merged into Yang County in person, and visit Dong Chongjun who took over Yexian County by the way, and visit him. tone of voice.

This is a very important matter, so please arrange all the affairs well. County magistrate Cai Xing and Captain Xia please sit in Lucheng, and Zhang Yuqing will go with me. "

Dong Chongjun is the feudal monarch of Xue Guodong, and also the head of the Lan family. Zhang Yuqing does not know more about him.

Fei Qingquan said to Zhang Yuqing: "The county magistrate of Ye County will serve as the magistrate of Yang County, and Lu Yu, the county captain of Ye County, was originally going to be the head arrester of Yang County.
But now that Zhou Cunjian is dead, he probably will have some thoughts about the post of county captain of Yang County.But Zhang Yuqing, you don't have to worry, Lu Yu is just a warrior in the quadruple realm, and he will not pose a threat to you.

What's more, Yang County's job arrangement will not allow him to interfere with an outsider. "

Zhang Yuqing nodded, he didn't care about it.

His mind has been on the shadow of the five ghosts, how powerful can such an evil creature in the Outworld be?
Fei Qingquan arranged the itinerary for tomorrow morning, and then the meeting ended.

Zhang Yuqing stayed behind and followed Fei Qingquan towards the main hall.

The windows of the main hall were closed tightly, and thick curtains were drawn. Even in the daytime, oil lamps were needed to disperse the darkness.

In the center of the gloomy hall, a bronze coffin exuding a cold luster was placed quietly.

When Zhang Yuqing came to the bronze coffin, he saw that the rusty inner and outer coffins were carved with intricate patterns, most of which were covered by rust, making it hard to see clearly.In some of the clearer places, some text can be seen.

But Zhang Yuqing couldn't understand those characters, and vaguely deduced that it should be a very ancient character.

Fei Qingquan came to Zhang Yuqing and said, "The five ghosts are coming to Lucheng for this thing."

Zhang Yuqing asked, "What's inside? A dead person? An evil spirit? Why don't you open it and have a look?"

Fei Qingquan shook his head: "You can't guess wildly, and you can't move lightly."

"Is it so dangerous?" Zhang Yuqing frowned and looked at the bronze coffin carefully again.

The bronze coffin didn't look very strong, and Zhang Yuqing could slap it apart with a slap.

He suddenly felt an aura, which was very similar to the power of inheritance. It was as refined and pure as Lu Junsheng's moon-shaped jade disc.

Simultaneously with that breath, there is also a gaze
Zhang Yuqing was startled and couldn't help taking a step back.

When I sensed it carefully, the breath and gaze disappeared, and I don't know if it was an illusion.

Fei Qingquan noticed Zhang Yuqing's strange behavior and asked, "Did you feel it too? You're about to wake up, if you guessed correctly."

"Since this thing is unknown, why should it stay in Lucheng?"

Fei Qingquan smiled wryly and said, "At first I reported it to my superiors without much thought, but in the end I got an order to keep him for protection. As I learned more and more, I realized that today's disaster in Lucheng All because of my carelessness."

Zhang Yuqing asked: "Is there a turning point?"

Fei Qingquan nodded: "The biggest turning point is to wait for the people sent by the superior to transport it away. But the five ghosts are obviously one step ahead, I don't want to just sit and wait like this, so tomorrow, no matter what, I have to see Shangdong On the side of Chongjun, asking him for help, I can't care so much."

Zhang Yuqing asked, "Is there a big price to pay?"

Fei Qingquan sighed, and said, "I have prepared five hundred death row prisoners as a gift for meeting Dong Chongjun."

Zhang Yuqing didn't expect to use death row prisoners as a meeting ceremony. Could this be the sacrifice of living beings that Lu Junsheng mentioned?

Ordinary people, in the eyes of the royal family, are like livestock raised in captivity?

He asked, "Are there so many prisoners in our prison in Lucheng?"

Fei Qingquan said: "There are only fifty prisoners in the prison. For the rest, the members and family members of the Dahe Gang are good choices. This is thanks to you, Zhang Yuqing, to kill their leader first, and then we can arrest them. Go to a lot of trouble."

Zhang Yuqing's heart sank slowly. Regarding the Dahe Gang, he never thought of eradicating all its gang members.

Unexpectedly, Fei Qingquan had already started to act and arrested more than 400 people in one day.Among them, how many are heinous gang members and how many are innocent people, who can say clearly.

Zhang Yuqing sighed and bid farewell to Fei Qingquan: "Master Supervising Star Envoy, I will take my leave first. I will go back and prepare for the escort of the prisoners."

Fei Qingquan nodded: "Lao Zhang will arrest the head."

Zhang Yuqing left the government office and returned to the county government office.

The county government is organizing funerals for Zhou Cunjian's death.

The yamen servants were all very disturbed, even Zhou Cunjian was killed by evil spirits, how could these little yamen servants protect themselves?

The two officers of the garrison army were waiting in the barracks.

The military room is in charge of recruiting soldiers, horses, and training young men throughout the county.In addition, matters such as post stations, shop soldiers, city defense, and bandit suppression are also under the jurisdiction of the military room.

In the past, Zhou Cunjian took care of all the affairs of the military room, but now Zhang Yuqing is temporarily in charge of the post of county lieutenant, so he needs to start worrying.

After getting acquainted with the relevant matters with the two officers, Zhang Yuqing ordered everything to remain as usual and follow Zhou Cunjian's old order.

A slight change is to deploy troops to be responsible for tomorrow's prisoner escort.

After everything was busy, the sky began to darken.Zhang Yuqing had a casual meal outside, and then began to return home.

On the way home, the people on the street were still bustling with each other, and the destruction of the Dahe Gang didn't seem to have any impact on their lives.

Looking at these people who knew nothing about the disaster facing Lucheng, Zhang Yuqing couldn't help thinking of Lu Junsheng's words.

"Could it be that Lu Cheng is really going to face a crisis in three days? Lu Junsheng, how do you know?"

There are too many secrets about Lu Junsheng, not only did he dare to conclude that Lu Cheng will be destroyed.Even last night, he knew clearly that Xiaolong's father had survived the evil.All of this is like a prophet.

Zhang Yuqing thought all the way, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the door of the house.

Entering the spacious house, they heard a faint cry.

Following the crying sound to the small courtyard, it was Xiao Lian who was sobbing softly on the stone table.

Zhang Yuqing frowned and asked, "Who is Di Xudong?"

Yu Xiaolian was a maid arranged by Di Xudong, Zhang Yuqing wouldn't believe it if the two had nothing to do with each other.

Xiao Lian raised her head when she heard the words, her eyes were already red and swollen from crying:
"Returning to my lord, the slave girl's family is poor, and her father is seriously ill. Originally, the slave girl sold herself into the brothel in exchange for father's medical treatment money. Fortunately, the head of the Di gang paid for the slave girl, let the slave girl serve the adult here, and pay attention to the adult. matter."

"I won't make it difficult for you, but don't let me see you in Lucheng in the future."

Xiao Lian stood up and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your kindness!"

Zhang Yuqing didn't care about her anymore, he went back to the study and took out a plant that looked like a purple crystal from his arms.

This is the amethyst orchid obtained from Lu Junsheng, and Zhang Yuqing is also looking forward to its effect.

Amethyst Orchid can be used for alchemy or taken directly.

Zhang Yuqing tried to explore one or two with his spiritual sense, but found that it was an ordinary plant with no spiritual energy in it, so he simply stuffed the amethyst orchid into his mouth.

As the amethyst orchid enters the abdomen, a warmth rises from the dantian, and soon spreads all over the body.

"It really works!"

Zhang Yuqing only felt that the muscles and veins all over his body were unobstructed, and waves of strength accumulated in the muscles, and even the internal strength in the body increased a lot.

He concentrated and closed his eyes, and began to digest the medicinal effects of the amethyst orchid little by little.

Time passed, and soon it was night.

Zhang Yuqing opened his eyes and said happily: "The effect on internal force is so obvious! The internal energy and mental methods of "Buddha Technique", "Poisonous Dragon Palm" and "Bronze Armor Technique" have all been completed! The body is also stronger and tougher than before, and now it is said to be It’s no exaggeration to have copper skin and iron bones.”

When he killed Di Xudong of the Siji Realm, Zhang Yuqing already knew that without using his internal strength, he was at least a warrior of the Kaiyuan Realm.

If you use your internal power, you can transform from a warrior into a three-queen under Mu Jing who can kill evil spirits.

He drew out the saber he had newly received from the arsenal, and stabbed the point at his eyes.

The tip of the knife collided with the pupil, but there was a crisp metal collision sound, and the pupil was not damaged at all.

Even his eyes are so hard, Zhang Yuqing really can't imagine how Fan Tie can hurt himself.

As for weapons like Lu Junsheng's Moon-shaped Jade Bi, it is still open to discussion.

He carefully sensed the changes in his body for a while, and then he was a little disappointed:

"Unfortunately, it has no effect on replenishing spiritual power."

Zhang Yuqing doesn't know how many powerful people and evil spirits there are in this world, but he knows that he still needs more strength to protect himself.

Now he has only just glimpsed the way, but there are already top-level evil spirits who are about to come to Lucheng.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yuqing came to Xuanhe Ferry as agreed.

A large group of people were already waiting at the ferry, including prisoners tied up in a row, soldiers guarding the prisoners, and county magistrates Cai Xing and Xia Mingxuan who came to see them off.

Many boats have been requisitioned at the ferry, and the boatmen are already ready.

Zhang Yuqing stepped forward and exchanged salutes with everyone.

At the end, Xia Mingxuan said to Zhang Yuqing: "Master Star Supervisor must guard that thing in the hall. He won't leave when the sun doesn't come out."

Zhang Yuqing nodded and said to the officer, "Let's transport the prisoner across the river first."

Yang County and Ye County are only separated by a river, and across the wide Xuan River is the ferry of Ye County.

Looking from a distance, it was obvious that the Ye County government was also prepared, and many people gathered at the ferry and waited.

Groups of prisoners were driven by soldiers and began to head towards the ferry, and the sound of cries spread across the river.

Many people watched and discussed from a distance, but they were constantly dispersed by the suburban police to prevent accidents.

The ferries were loaded with prisoners one by one and sailed towards the opposite bank.

The sun peeked out from the top of the mountain, and Fei Qingquan finally appeared.

After a brief chat with the group, Zhang Yuqing and Fei Qingquan boarded a gorgeous boat.

This boat seems to be a requisitioned painting boat, and the owner of the boat has arranged for several beautiful women to entertain everyone.

But no one is interested, this trip is of great importance, and it is not for fun.

The boat arrived at the opposite bank smoothly, and after getting off the pier, it was received by the officials of Ye County.

Fei Qingquan and Zhang Yuqing will not wait for the prisoners, the prisoners only need to be escorted slowly by the soldiers.

They took a few entourages into the carriage prepared by Ye County, and headed all the way to Ye City.

Ye City does not stand on the riverside like Lu City, but it is not far from Xuan River.

In less than two hours, the carriage had already driven into the city.

Looking from the outside of the car, Zhang Yuqing saw that the city of Yecheng was not big, and the so-called "city of three miles, country of seven miles" referred to such a small city.Its prosperity is far inferior to that of Lucheng.

The natural geographical conditions of Lucheng and Yecheng are not much different, but the difference in wealth between the two is not small, which shows that the managers of Lucheng spent a lot of thought at the beginning.

Today is the day when the Yecheng County Government and Dong Chongjun hand over. There are many soldiers maintaining order on the street, but the uniforms and armors are clearly divided into two categories.

Most of the soldiers in one category wore battle robes with foam nails and no armor, and the style was the same as that of Lucheng. They were the troops under the government's control.

Another type of soldier is dressed in animal pattern leather armor, with a round guard inlaid with iron plates on the chest, a long sword on the waist, and colorful feathers on the helmet dancing with the footsteps.These well-equipped sergeants are obviously the Yi soldiers raised by Emperor Dongchong.

Looking at the difference between the two, Zhang Yuqing couldn't help sighing at Dong Chongjun's financial resources and power.

In addition to the soldiers, Zhang Yuqing also felt a lot of the power of inheritance in Yecheng. He followed and saw many noble men and women, and these must be the children of the Lan family.

The carriage came to a stop in front of the county government office, Fei Qingquan did not get off the carriage, but said to Zhang Yuqing: "I'm going to pay a visit to Dong Chongjun, and here to meet the officials of Ye County, I will have to arrest the head."

Zhang Yuqing nodded, took two officials from Lucheng, and got out of the carriage.

Fei Qingquan continued on in the carriage and disappeared at the end of the street.And Zhang Yuqing walked into the county government office with the officials.

After explaining the purpose of coming to the yamen at the gate of the county yamen, the yamen servant quickly entered the county yamen to report.

After a while, a voice of dissatisfaction came from the county office: "It's not Cai Xing, the county magistrate of Lucheng, who came here in person, but sent a catcher to pick us up? Forget it, let him come in. I'm currently Handing over the household registration in Ye County is extremely busy, so I don’t have time to take care of him, so take him to the side room for tea.”

The yamen servant returned soon, Zhang Yuqing smiled and didn't mind, and followed the yamen servant to the side room.

In the county yamen, besides the officials, there are also many people who have a sense of inheritance. They are either handing over documents with the officials, or counting their belongings, and they seem to be very busy.

Zhang Yuqing was secretly on guard. He had only seen three people with the power of inheritance in the past, but he didn't expect to see so many people at once when he came to Yecheng.

The aura of these people was weak or strong, they just glanced at Zhang Yuqing and didn't pay much attention to it.

After entering the side room, the yamen servant served tea and left, and then no one came to entertain him for a long time.

An accompanying official couldn't help complaining: "This Yecheng county government is really rude, how dare they neglect Zhang Butou, do they know how to treat guests?"

Another official also echoed: "That's right! Catcher Zhang came to pick them up in person, it's enough to save face. How dare they be so cold!"
