I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Lu Yuan pointed to her mouth.

Langya Hou reacted and touched his chin with his hand. He found that the skin of grilled fish was stuck to his chin, and he quickly turned around and wiped it.

It would be so embarrassing if outsiders saw it!

Fortunately, there were only the old Taoist priest and his apprentice Zhao Qingniu, his nephew Zhu Meng, Lu Yuan and his apprentice Ning Xiaoyu, and her cavalry team in the cave, who were all on guard duty outside.

"Langya Hou, have you been to Cangyun County?"

Lu Yuan suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

"Cangyun County? No. Why do you ask?" Langya Hou asked.

"Qingniu wants to hear the story about Magistrate Lu Yuan, but unfortunately I'm not good at telling stories, and I'm afraid that my story will be inaccurate and mislead the children." Lu Yuan threw a piece of dry wood into the bonfire, "If you knew, You can talk about it for the kids.”

"children?"

"Well, Qing Niu, your nephew Zhu Meng, and my apprentice Ning Xiaoyu, all three of them admire Lu Yuan very much. I just gave them a rough summary of how Magistrate Lu defeated Tang Zhen, the domineering gun, and the ancestor of the Wuliang sect. His deeds. The children listened very carefully."

So that’s it, did you gain trust by telling a story to the children?

At this time, Marquis Langya understood clearly.

But his nephew actually regarded Lu Yuan as his role model, which surprised Marquis Langya. If Lu Yuan hadn't told her about this situation, she wouldn't have known about it.

The eyes of the three children and the old Taoist priest all turned to her.

"I have been stationed at the border all year round, and I know very little about Magistrate Lu Yuan. Prime Minister Su Quan sent me intelligence that this person was cunning and cunning, and was using the prestige of the late Emperor's bloodline Jiang Linglong to raise troops in Cangyun County. Rebellion and plan to seize the imperial power of Zhou Dynasty."

"The leader of the Wulin Alliance, Dugu Aoyun, announced to all the heroes in the world that Lu Yuan was defined as the leader of the Demon Cult and a remnant of the Blood God Cult. On my way to Lingnan from the north, I also heard that many masters in the martial arts world have recently Those who disappeared mysteriously were all captured by Lu Yuan to extract their true energy and practice demonic and magical skills."

"Haha, but I have a different opinion."

Marquis Langya took off his cold metal helmet, and his long hair, like a waterfall, was scattered behind his shoulders, with a faint fragrance coming from his hair.

Lu Yuan smelled it. It was a kind of lavender from the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"What do you think? Lord Langyahou." The old Taoist priest was even more excited than the children.

What they usually have access to are just some rumors in the world, which may not necessarily be true, including the recent rumors in the world that Lu Yuan is a devil, but they don't agree with it. Now that they heard the words of Marquis Langya, they eagerly hoped to get rid of them. From his mouth, I found a more accurate statement about Lu Yuan.

"Cangyun County is located in Liangzhou, the most remote and barbaric land with barren mountains and rivers, and sparsely populated areas. The Great Zhou Dynasty did not even send troops there. The harsh natural environment, coupled with the rampant dangerous beasts, make the area bordering it The neighboring country Yue has no intention of coveting the vast territory of Cangyun County.

"Cangyun County is not only the poorest place in Liangzhou, but also the poorest place in the entire Zhou Dynasty. Historically, it has always been a place where prisoners were exiled. In short, many prisoners would rather die in prison than go to Cangyun County. You can imagine how bad the environment and conditions are there."

On the side, Lu Yuan, who listened to the story calmly, nodded slightly.

Before he went to Cangyun County to take up his post, it was indeed primitive and barbaric. As far as the eye could see were black deserts and saline-alkali lands. Farmers could not even grow crops, so they could only venture into the deep mountains and old forests where alien beasts were infested to collect food. Wild vegetables, dug tree roots and tree bark survive, and there are frequent reports of parents eating their children when they are extremely hungry, which is horrifying. The actual situation in Cangyun County at that time was even worse than what Marquis Langya described.

"I am in the north, and I have three lieutenants under me. They have fought with me for many years. One of the lieutenants is brave and good at fighting, and his ancestral home is from Cangyun County. In the autumn of last year, the lieutenant applied to me and wanted to visit the tombs of his ancestors. Go back to Cangyun County. He has been fighting in the border army for many years and has never gone back, so I approved his application."

"A month later, he came back from Cangyun County and told me excitedly that earth-shaking changes had taken place in Cangyun County. People lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the prosperity was comparable to the imperial capital. This lieutenant general had been hit by an enemy's hidden arrow in his head, and he often suffered from hysteria. At that time, I and several other lieutenants did not believe what he said."

There was a strong bonfire, and the sound of "beep, boop, boop" came from the fire.

Langya Hou's sharp eyes shone with a strange luster.

"However, recently, I received a secret report from my subordinates. Cangyun County is indeed as prosperous as my deputy general said. It is no less prosperous than the imperial capital, or even worse. Jiang Linglong, the blood of the late emperor, relies on Only with the foundation of Cangyun County can we make a comeback and win Liangzhou, Shuozhou and Yizhou in succession."

"Therefore, my views are completely opposite to those of the Wulin Alliance and Prime Minister Su Quan. To be able to manage a remote small county, the poorest and most backward in the Great Zhou Dynasty, into a prosperous city that is second to none, Lu Yuan is definitely not a remnant of the Blood God Sect, let alone a remnant of the Blood God Sect. The leader of the devil!"

After listening to Langya Hou's story, the old Taoist priest, Zhao Qingniu and Zhu Meng all opened their eyes wide and felt their blood boiling. The Lu Yuan they admired was not only a peerless strong man, but also a talented state-governor. Unfortunately, he was exiled by the late emperor to a barren land like Cangyun County. However, Master Lu Yuan not only did not give up on himself, but also brought Cangyun County to a barren land. Yun County has been built into a place as prosperous as the imperial capital.

How broad is this mind and magnanimity!

Ning Xiaoyu has been following Lu Yuan for a while, during which time he heard the four ladies occasionally mention the past stories of Cangyun County, but they were only a few words and not exhaustive.

At this moment, when I heard these things from Marquis Langya, I was extremely shocked. After hearing this, I choked up. It turned out that the invincible master had also experienced such a difficult experience.

She really wanted to kowtow to Lu Yuan again, but she thought of keeping her master's identity secret, so she gave up the idea and secretly urged herself to be more filial to her master in the future.

"With the words of Mr. Langyahou, I will die without regrets."

The old Taoist from Qingfeng Temple, an unknown place, showed a happy smile on his face. He looked at his apprentice Zhao Qingniu kindly and said, "Qingniu, do you hear this? This is the Master Lu Yuan you admire. He faced adversity in life. At this moment, I still choose to move forward bravely..."

"That Lord Lu Yuan is not a devil, he is a real hero!"

"From now on...you must...carry forward Qingfeng Guan!"

The old Taoist's voice became weaker and weaker.

"Yes, Master! Qingniu will work hard." Zhao Qingniu was still immersed in the story told by Marquis Langya, and did not notice the old Taoist's face, which was now bloodless.

"Oh, it's a pity... I can't accompany you, old man, to see the peerless style of Mr. Lu Yuan... Qing Niu, you have to work hard..."

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, his head hung down feebly, and there was no trace of breath in his body.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

Only then did Zhao Qingniu realize that the old Taoist priest was dead, and he shouted in panic. (End of chapter)
