It’s too difficult to cultivate immortality, so I used a strange beast to clone myself into a Taoist

Chapter 117 Who dares to kill you? I'll kill!

In the inner city, the county magistrate Lu Mansion.

Instead of calling it a mansion, it's better to call it a manor.

There is a view every three steps, and a pavilion every ten steps, reflected in the green pines and cypresses; rockeries, rocks, bonsai flower beds, wisterias and green bamboos are all dotted here and there.

Today is the day when the county magistrate Lu Yuan celebrates his promotion and holds a tail-burning banquet.

Guests came and went like clouds, and they were all well-known people in Feng County.

Likewise, the secret guards were extremely tight, and even lieutenants, generals, and soldiers were deployed, as well as several masters of spiritual cultivation.

"Du Hu, there are still two secret sentries at the main entrance. Go there quickly, pay special attention to the elderly, young children, and the disabled. Don't take it lightly!"

"Yes!"

When Du Hu heard this, he immediately got up and went.

There was a centipede-like scar at the corner of his mouth, which seemed to have been torn apart, adding a bit of fierceness to it.

Du Hu went all the way to the main entrance.

On the way, there are panoramic views of the building, which are full of gold and jade, and there are also paths entwined with brocade stones, precious ponds, and willow-locked rainbow bridges.

The people coming and going were all scholars and officials. He could only carefully follow the edge of the path, going against the flow of people, not daring to raise his head.

When he came to the main entrance, he glanced around and noticed the location of several other secret sentries.

Quietly, he found his place.

While he was silently on guard, he saw several figures coming from the main entrance.

Among them, Lu Youtai was guarded and walked last.

The county magistrate Lu Yuan came to pick him up in person, and the two had a pleasant conversation.

When Du Hu saw Lu Youtai, he didn't know what he thought of and looked a little dazed.

Four years ago, his elder brother participated in the imperial examination under Qiu Wei.

The examiner at that time was Lu Youtai.

On the last night of Autumn, it was deep at night. Hearing rustling, his brother rushed out of the house, threw a broken pen in his hand, and slashed his abdomen with the tip of the pen. Blood gushed out like a fountain. His brother grabbed his internal organs and threw them to the ground, and said sternly,

"I deserved my death. I committed sodomy (walking on the dry road) and killed many people. I am unworthy of my teacher's kindness!"

After saying this, he fell to the ground and died.

At that time, Du Hu had already joined the army, although he was only a top soldier.

But when faced with the news of his brother's death, he naturally suspected that someone was secretly causing trouble, so he first reported it to the officials, and then used forces in the military to investigate the cause of his brother's death.

result……

He felt the malice coming from all sides.

The government delays, the boss beats him, and the house mysteriously catches fire...

Faintly, he saw the high-ranking figure hidden in the darkness.

He vaguely looks like Lu Youtai.

Later, he suddenly 'enlightened', gave up the investigation, and chose to turn over the story.

As a result, his official fortune seemed to be coming, and he reached the position of corps commander step by step.

He is not rich or powerful, but he is no longer a commoner, he has become a middle-class household, with a happy family and two children.

now,

Lu Youtai and others walked through the guard area here.

Du Hu silently watched Lu Youtai's back.

On the side, several maids passed by carrying jade plates, green cauldrons, and various delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Whizzing!

Just hearing the rustle of the wind and waves, a maid suddenly came over, cold light flashing, holding poison-quenching steel needles between her fingertips.

A few feet away, he arrived and stabbed Lu Youtai with the steel needle in his hand.

Sonorous!

An eardrum-shaking sound came, and the fierce energy blew up dust, and the poison-quenched steel needle in the maid's hand was knocked away.

Du Hu's eyes were cold and he stood in front of Lu Youtai. The simple sword in his hand instantly released the awe-inspiring sword energy and slashed out fiercely!

The maid spat out blood, her arm was cut off at the root, flew out, and hit a garden tree.

Swish swish!
  Several figures appeared and immediately captured the woman.

Du Hu looked at the woman's eyes that were full of hatred and wanted to eat her flesh, and he seemed to see himself four years ago.

However, Sangtian Bihai changed in a moment, and the person he was then was completely different from the person he is today. Lu Youtai cannot die, he must live, he must reach a high position and rise to the top!
  Du Hu turned around and half-knelt on the ground.
  "Have you ever been injured, sir?"

"I'm fine with you."

Lu Youtai looked calm, glanced at the assassin, and walked past Du Hu.
  "I recognize you, your name is Du Hu. You... are very good."

When Du Hu heard this, his face became excited and he shouted loudly,

"This is a villain's business!"

The murder by an assassin was just an interlude in this tail-burning feast.

No one cares about the assassin's motives and fate.

On the banquet, a green cauldron emerges from the purple camel's peak, plain scales are arranged on the water essence, and all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas are dizzying.

When the wine was in full swing, officials and gentry in the city stood up one after another to toast Magistrate Lu Yuan and congratulate him.

Magistrate Lu Yuan sat in the first place, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and his face was full of righteousness.

At this moment, facing the respect of everyone, and under the influence of alcohol, he gradually became more and more happy.

Wang Shouren sat next to Lu Yuan and suddenly spoke,
  "The recent promotion of County Magistrate Lu is really a pain to the people of Feng County. Can Magistrate Lu ask the people to set up a monument to virtue and governance?"

Monument of virtue and politics?
  When Lu Yuan heard this, the smile on his face became forced.

This monument to moral governance has always been for honest and upright officials. It can only be erected after local people apply for it and submit it to the Ministry of officials step by step.

He, Lu Yuan, was a mediocre official. He did not deliberately plunder the people and raise taxes, but he also did not do a few meritorious deeds.

Over the years, including when Lu Youtai monopolized the imperial examinations and when the immortal outside the city deduced the path to immortality, he turned a blind eye.

Without him, his promotion list had been determined a few years ago.

After he left, it didn't matter how great the flood was!
  Believe in the wisdom of future generations!

Lu Yuan glanced at Wang Shouren and naturally knew that the late emperor's mentor was making insinuations to embarrass him.

But if he counted the others who passed by Feng County, he would have gone back angrily.

But in Wang Shouren's case, he could only endure it and make excuses.

"Hahaha, Mr. Wang, the erection of the monument is too complicated. It will waste people and money. I, Mr. Lu, do not want to trouble the people. I can just leave the county by myself in Jinyi Yexing. There is no need to be high-profile. Haha, there is no need to be high-profile..."

Lu Yuan saw someone at the table and immediately changed his topic.
  "Gao Lao Juren, we haven't seen each other for five or six years. Are you feeling well these days?"

Gao Jiren was sitting in an inconspicuous position under the banquet. He had high cheekbones and a dark complexion. His exposed hands were like dead wood, and he looked like his vitality was severely damaged.

He had to come to Lu Yuan's tail-burning banquet today, otherwise, he might become another stain on the court's criticism of him in the future.

He is not afraid, but he still has to think about it for everyone in the Gao family.

Gao Jingshu knelt down next to Gao Juren, looking at Gao's father with a worried look in her eyes.

Gao Jiren stood up holding the long case, his voice was a little faint,
  "Thank you, Lord Magistrate, for remembering me. I am losing weight frequently, my hair is thinning and my crown is tilted. I have reached the age where I know my destiny, so be it."

Lu Yuan sighed and asked someone to fetch a century-old ginseng and gave it to Gao Jiren so that he could cultivate himself well and stop working hard.

During the dinner, people exchanged glasses of wine, and chatting and laughing diluted Lu Yuan's embarrassment.

Wang Shouren had not touched the wine on the table. At this moment, he looked at Lu Youtai sitting opposite, raised his glass and spoke,
  "The assassin just now was so bold that he assassinated a court official. I don't know where he came from. Is there any grudge?"

When Lu Youtai heard this, his eyes moved.

"A madman committed suicide out of fear of guilt on the way to interrogation. I guess it's someone who doesn't like me, Lu. Mr. Wang, do you have any advice?"

When Wang Shouren heard this, he put down his wine cup, his eyes lowered and his expression was dull.
  "Takami?"

"I, Wang, have only been in Feng County for a few years. When I saw this county, I saw that it was full of male prostitutes and female thieves, people who sold their jobs to gain titles!"

"Public resentment is like boiling water. Once one is exposed, there will be a second one. It cannot be suppressed or suppressed! That assassin will not be the last."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked and fell silent.

Lu Yuan's face became a little tense. Wasn't Wang Shouren's words a slap in the face?

When Lu Youtai heard this, he was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed sarcastically.
  "Chief Wang Shan, don't be alarmist. I only see that the people in Fengfeng County are diligent and hardworking, and they are actually the foundation of Jiangfeng County!"

"As for the assassin..."

"So many people want to kill me? I don't know if any of you here are dissatisfied with Lu. You might as well stand up. I want to see who can chop off my great head..."

Boom!
  The words stopped suddenly, and a thunderous sound resounded throughout the Lu Mansion, like thunder in the daytime, lingering for a long time, echoing in everyone's ears.

Boom!

Everyone present looked up to the sky and saw the air waves beating and rolling in the air, and the sound waves rumbling.

First, there was a flying star arrow that fell into the wild, and came with the chirping of cranes.

Then a figure swooped down, followed by the arrow, hunting in python, with thunder and fire added to it,
  "Li Qinglin, the son of a cloth seller, beheads the dog!!"
