Chapter 159 – Lord Superintendent and the Royal House of Nanli County
Chapter 159 – Lord Superintendent of Departments and Nan Li County King’s Mansion
The post station had collapsed, and eleven of the nineteen horses had died.
Eight of the eleven people at the stage station were knocked unconscious by the shock, and only Liu Pian, the stage cao, and the two stagehands were lucky enough to still be awake, only with dusty faces, sitting in the rubble in a daze.
Li Fu Zi also sat in the ruins, the gateboard greatsword was thrown aside, he had a folding spear lodged in his chest, blood had already stained half of his body, the ground underneath him was also stained red, frost and lightning were still niggling.
“Cough cough cough ……”
He coughed violently, his life has flowed to the end, hard to look at Xin Zhuo, the humiliation and indignation on his face all disappeared, only calmness remained, his voice hoarse and weak: “The old man …… has two questions …… “
Xin Zhuo squatted down and asked: “Please answer one of my questions first, what is that paper talisman you used in front? Why is it so powerful? Why didn’t you use it just now?”
If it wasn’t because he was afraid of the paper talisman, he definitely wouldn’t have chased all the way and waited for Pearly Husbandman to be more injured before making his move.
“That’s …… Little Venerable One’s Heaven and Earth Great Potential Talisman, to save your life …… Old man …… only has one… …”
“I see, the way you use it doesn’t work, the timing is not skillful enough, it’s a pity! What question, ask!”
“First …… why did you meridians reunite …… the realm advance so fast ……” Pear Fu Zi coughed a few times again. More blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Xin Zhuo returned: “Because I am a genius, quickly gathered into.”
Li Fuzi silent, dead look at him, seems to want to see a hint from his face, then gave up and asked a second question: “What is your …… true qi ……?”
Xin Zhuo once again returned: “It is true qi.”
There was nothing wrong with this answer, it was indeed true qi.
Li Fu Zi had already swallowed his breath, his face with humiliation and anger, dying without resting in peace, this is not for his own humiliation of being killed by a small mountain thief who could once be pinched at will, but …… before dying you are also unwilling to tell me the truth.
Xin Zhuo looked to his right hand, where pinched a paper talisman has not yet had time to pinch, perhaps the pear husband son is ready to take advantage of the dying pit him a hand, but was anxious fire attack sudden death forgot to pinch, or no strength?
He picked up the paper talisman, and searched Pear Fu Zi again, to make sure that there is only this one, and put it away: “Everyone is dishonest, you can’t blame me!”
Then he carried the three-petaled corpse on his back and walked into the distance, quickly disappearing into the landscape.
It wasn’t until he was far away that Liu Qian’s three petals got up in a daze, looking around at the ruins in a daze.
“These two are Fifth Grade experts, correct?” A stagehand asked.
Liu Piang couldn’t tell, but still nodded heavily: “Yes!”
The stagehand asks again: “Why is that youngster so terrifying at such a young age?”
Liu Piang says: “He just said he’s a genius, didn’t you hear him?”
……
Great Zhou Capital, An Du!
Autumn Wind Academy.
The precious brown kudzu wood constructed pavilion courtyard, two koi carp in the lotus pond leaped to the water surface, tumbling and playing between them, touching the lotus leaves and rolling up a ripple.
At the end of the pavilion road next to the pool, there is an elegant water pavilion, two people in the pavilion are talking with their hands.
A head wearing a black black crown, wearing tight purple robe, straight posture, stout, with three wisps of long beard of the old man, the four-sided face can not see a trace of emotion, slowly down a son, Fang said: “Mr. East returned to a few months, can still adapt?”
Opposite a person with white hair, but the face is not half of the old man, an ordinary white robe, just stretch out the left hand is covered with age spots, also played a son: “mountain villagers, accustomed to the hard life, the death of the late emperor, had no choice but to drag the remnants of the body, thick face, came to serve the new emperor for a few years.”
Opposite the person’s face is still no half expression: “The left minister asked, the six divisions would like to enter where?”
Mr. Dongfang pondered for a moment, and before he could speak, he saw in the distance a brown official robes, satchel belt knife of a man, hurriedly rushed to, bowed down and handed over a ball of blood-stained cloth.
The purple-robed old man took it, scanned it, and handed it to Mr. Dongfang.
Mr. Dongfang has not looked at a glance, seems to have known the content of the cloth, ten thousand years old well general eyes showed a trace of surprise, a little silent: “But also to borrow the Division Supervisor Lord’s hand.”
The purple-robed old man stroked his beard and pondered for a moment: “Order the five factions of Wudang, Shaolin, Gu Cang, Spirit Sword, and Heshan, and the half-step Minor Patriarchs and Minor Patriarchs to take action!”
A side han saluted and inquired: “Wanted or executed?” The purple-robed old man looked at Mr. Dongfang, who had nothing to say and just played a son.
A side of the Han looked to the chessboard, already understood, bowed and backed up, hurriedly left.
……
South Li Country is adjacent to Great Zhou, the country is strong, there are millions of soldiers with armor, barbarian witch sects are all over the place, and the martial arts is extremely strong.
The neighboring Great Zhou territory, there is also a large state of South Lebanon, this and the South Lebanon country with water, the same root and ancestor, but because fifty years ago was occupied by the Great Zhou, now displaying 300,000 troops to face each other.
The 300,000 Zhou troops are under the command of the King of Nanli County.
The King of Nanli County, not to mention his name, but the title alone will make the whole of Nanli State, although gnashing their teeth, but also do not dare to cross the “Heavenly Pass” half a step.
Three thousand Nanli red tassels can kill 100,000 soldiers, a piece of blood does not touch the body!
Late spring, full of peach and plum blossom has withered, but the South Lebanon County King’s House, but still flowers bloom, look around, all are the world’s famous species.
It is said to be that the murderous county prince, in order to coax back to the house not long after the princess daughter happy, sent strong pawns, exhausted seventy-two horses, transplanted from all over the world.
At this moment, the small place from the winter spirit maid, holding a plate of watery lychee, through the layers of heavily guarded pavilions, into the backyard.
“Good day, Sister Xiang’er!”
“Good day Auntie Su!”
“Good day, Steward Sun!”
After saluting all the way, it was easy to arrive at a light and elegant courtyard with a rich fragrance of flowers and green bamboos, and then saw twelve maids with straight bodies standing, being reprimanded by a serious-faced female steward.
Dong Ling couldn’t help but stick out her tongue, lowered her head and just about to go around, then she was rebuked by the stewardess: “Lychee is cold in nature, don’t eat too much of it, if the county princess is not feeling well, it will take your life! Also, in the future, you have to call out to the county master, don’t always be a big miss, big miss, no rules.”
“Understood!”
Dong Ling’s face turned white, her footsteps hurriedly entered a lavishly decorated women’s boudoir, from here, she could already look out over the distant city walls and distant mountains, her view was extremely wide.
She looked at the window side sitting at the white jade table, a white dress, long hair to the waist, slender figure, put down the lychee, pouted her lips and said: “Eldest Miss, this County King’s Mansion is so stuffy, there are too many rules, Winter Spirit doesn’t feel comfortable at all when she’s living here!”
“You haven’t been to the Jiang family, that’s what is called too many rules there!”
Su Miao Jin slightly powdered, two strands of green silk fell on the cheek, this is a lazy dress, but the beauty is not eat earthly fire.
Dong Ling looked dumbfounded, but saw the big miss is painting, curious to go forward to watch, found that the painting is a rough linen clothed young man, couldn’t help but voice: “ah! Eldest Miss, are you drawing Xin Zhuo again?”
Su Miao Jin stops the last stroke, picks up the painting and hands it to her: “You have seen Xin Zhuo before, does it look like him?”
Dong Ling scrutinized it for a while, tapping her chin with her fingers: “Very much like it, Missy is a master in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, where is she like that little thief Xin Zhuo, except for fighting is robbing!”
Su Miao Jin but shook his head and laughed lightly, seemed to be talking to himself: “I always feel that Xin Zhuo …… is the one from the Jiang family, looks and the portrait of the West Qin County King resembles, the age is also generally older, really everywhere is like …… “
In fact, this doubt has been buried deep in the bottom of his heart since he went to the Jiang House, indefinable, seems to be a kind of celestial induction!
Not waiting for Dong Ling’s doubtful inquiry, she had already softly shouted, “Aunt Hong?”
The stewardess who was reprimanding the maids hurriedly came, respectfully and unable to pick out half a fault saluted: “Slave girl is here!”
Su Miao Jin rolls up the scroll and stuffs it into an envelope that has already been prepared, handing it over: “Eight hundred li expedited, send it to the Jiang family!”
Aunt Hong froze for a moment: “The county princess has canceled her engagement with the Jiang family, why ……”
Su Miao Jin was already expressionless.
Aunt Hong immediately collects the letter: “Here!”
