Chapter 132: Raising a dragon in the abyss

"General."

"Master."

The five Garrison Commanders of the Anning Guard heard the news and were already waiting outside the General's Mansion.

Besides Ning Zhongtian, Lu Jun, and Feng Yu, there was also a middle-aged martial general named Guan Xinrong, and a young man who looked no different from a scholar, Duan Yu.

Cao Wei was the first to flip off his horse.

He didn't even look at the others, heading straight for the direction of Feng Yu and Guan Xinrong.

"Speak, what happened?"

While speaking, he walked into the General's Mansion.

The three Ning Zhongtian didn't mean to follow and ask for trouble.

Since the demon chaos.

Cao Wei had taken everything upon himself, not letting them participate in the Guiming Sect matter.

Ghost demon appeared.

It was highly likely that the Guiming Sect was making trouble behind the scenes; even if they went, Cao Wei wouldn't let them intervene.

At this time.

Jiang Linxian jumped off his horse.

"Little Duan, went to Yunzhou this time, saw your father, still as elegant as ever."

Duan Yu's mouth hooked: "Master Jiang, my father also came to Yunzhou?"

Jiang Linxian nodded with a smile: "This military government, Master Duan happened to come to Yunzhou."

Military government is the imperial court's way of assessing military officials, once every three years.

Besides this, there are Beijing inspection and grand planning.

Grand planning assesses external officials, and external officials are officials outside the capital.

The assessment of Beijing officials is called Beijing inspection, which is distinguished from grand planning.

The Yu Kingdom has a vast territory.

Asking officials from all over to report to the capital is impractical; only officials above the third rank need to, others are assessed by imperial envoys sent by the Emperor representing the Emperor's will.

The imperial envoy presiding over the Annan Town military government this time was Duan Yu's father, Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Duan Qian, proper third rank.

People have a misunderstanding.

That is, the Minister and Vice Minister are in a superior-subordinate relationship; in fact, this statement is problematic.

Ministers and Vice Ministers are both hall officials, just of different ranks.

Theoretically, a Vice Minister doesn't have to listen to the Minister and can directly face the Emperor.

But in actual operation, Vice Ministers often don't do things to the extreme, which makes people mistakenly think the Minister is the Vice Minister's superior, but in fact, it is not.

As long as they are officials who can see the Emperor, they are not to be easily offended.

Duan Yu relied on his father's relationship to get a good job in the Anning Guard.

Ning Zhongtian and Lu Jun looked at each other.

Tsk tsk.

Having someone behind you is good; even Jiang Linxian has to greet him personally.

Ning Zhongtian seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to speak: "Master Jiang, the Guiming Sect matter..."

Jiang Linxian looked at the main hall of the General's Mansion with a smile that was not a smile: "Since General Cao wants to manage it, then let him manage it."

"Yes!"

With Jiang Linxian's words, Ning Zhongtian naturally let go.

Jiang Linxian's heart moved slightly.

Now is the year of the military government.

The assessment naturally won't end so quickly; he is a military advisor, just need to supervise well, but Cao Wei is different; if the Guiming Sect makes too much trouble in his jurisdiction, he will definitely be held accountable, and the pressure is huge.

He knew Cao Wei's thoughts clearly.

The previous demon chaos was eight or nine out of ten to please the Fifth Prince, searching for the Guiming Sect's immortal method and causing trouble.

This is undoubtedly something Jiang Linxian cannot tolerate.

To be precise, it is something the Lord of the Dragon Court cannot tolerate.

If Cao Wei doesn't change after repeated teachings, then he can only take this little Master Duan to see his father whom he hasn't seen for a long time, and by the way, talk about Cao Wei's matter.

Believe that the imperial envoy sent by the Emperor will definitely stand on their side.

"What are these people going out to do?"

Li Rui looked at the soldiers entering and exiting the military camp.

During this period.

Cao Wei kept sending people out to search the mountains.

Heard many complaints.

Ge Hong gloated: "Of course, it's to find that ghost demon who broke into the guard station; heard this matter has been known by the military government's imperial envoy, ordering General Cao to arrest him within a time limit."

The purpose of establishing the Anning Guard in Qinghe is for the Emperor to show his determination to kill the Guiming Sect.

As a result, the Guiming Sect hasn't been destroyed, but the demon ghost raised by the Guiming Sect ran into the Anning Guard's base camp to make trouble; this is simply slapping the imperial court's face, the Emperor's face.

How can it be tolerated?

"Fortunately, it has nothing to do with us."

They are Jiang Linxian's people; let alone Cao Wei might not be able to command them.

Even if he could give orders, he would worry that they would hinder them, so he wouldn't be at ease handing such things to them to handle.

So both he and Li Rui were happy to be idle.

Li Rui's heart moved slightly.

Ghost demon?

The ghost demon had long turned into blood water and flowed deep into the ground to feed earthworms.

How could Cao Wei think that the ghost demon he was looking for with great fanfare had long been beheaded by Li Rui in the tunnel.

Li Rui couldn't possibly say this thing out.

All efforts are destined to be in vain.

Ge Hong: "Brother Li, do you think that ghost demon is still in Qinghe?"

Li Rui analyzed seriously: "Eight or nine out of ten have already fled to other counties; General Cao wants to catch him, difficult!"

Not his business.

Li Rui and Ge Hong soon changed the topic.

"Brother Li, how is your 'Flying Dragon in the Sky' diagram practicing?"

"Just like that."

Li Rui's answer was completely within Ge Hong's expectations.

Do you really think geniuses are everywhere?

People who can cultivate Qi at the eighth rank are less than one-tenth of the Willow Sinew martial artists, and without exception, they are all geniuses in major sects and forces.

Li Rui, a seventy-year-old man, if he could practice it, he would have long ago; did he need to wait until now?

"No chance."

Ge Hong naturally wouldn't say his inner thoughts: "Brother Li, I have gained some insights from observing these days, the bottleneck has actually loosened, maybe there is hope for a breakthrough in a few days..."

"This is a great happy event."

Ge Hong is now forty-two or forty-three years old. He has stayed in the Bronze Bone Realm for a full ten years.

Don't say "trees move and die, people move and live."

Being a hall master at the Iron Knife Martial Arts Hall for more than ten years, it was hard to advance an inch; after leaving the martial arts hall, there were signs of a breakthrough.

Ge Hong was in a very good mood: "Brother Li, if you comprehend true Qi, we will both step into the Willow Sinew Realm, and it will surely be passed down as a beautiful story in the Qinghe Jianghu."

Li Rui shook his head with a smile:

"I'm old, just looking for some fun, you really took it seriously."

Ge Hong encouraged: "Ancient sages, comprehended the Dao at seventy, and then ascended to sagehood; Brother Li will surely be able to do so too, 'old horse in the stable, ambition in the thousand miles'!"

Li Rui: "Although the divine turtle has longevity, it still has an end; old, useless, still have to rely on you good descendants."

Ge Hong couldn't persuade him anymore.

After all, he also felt that if he continued to persuade, it would appear fake instead.

=9+Book_Bar

That sage, he saw it in unofficial history.

How wild is unofficial history?

Let's just say it like this.

It also wrote that the last emperor of the previous dynasty had six eyes, eight legs, and green face and fangs.

Is that thing still a human?

One look is fake.

So Ge Hong also felt that the old sage who comprehended the Dao at seventy and spread to later generations was probably fabricated, or the result of later descendants deliberately exaggerating to elevate their ancestors.

"Brother Li, why don't we compete, see who breaks through first, and treat to wine."

Li Rui smiled lightly: "If you want to drink, just say it, the old man will treat you."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Same situation, similar experience, the two became friends across generations.

Isn't it friends across generations.

Ge Hong is only forty-five, Li Rui is already seventy-two.

In the Yu Kingdom, if the speed is faster, Li Rui could be Ge Hong's grandfather.

Ge Hong's eyes became firm:

"Brother Li, Qinghe should also produce a seventh-rank!"

Of course, there are seventh-rank experts in Qinghe City.

But there is not a single seventh-rank of Qinghe origin; this situation has lasted for seven or eight years.

The last seventh-rank.

It was Ge Hong's master; he wanted to continue for another fifty years for his master.

Half a month passed.

Cao Wei naturally couldn't find the ghost demon who broke into the military camp; the movement was very big, and finally returned empty-handed.

Jiang Linxian naturally wouldn't be polite.

He really took little Master Duan to Yunzhou.

Heard that finally, he was blocked on the official road by Cao Wei; the specific process is unknown, the final result is that Jiang Linxian and little Master Duan both returned to Qinghe with smiles.

"Our Master Cao must have bled a lot, finally even the Fifth Prince took action, only then did this matter turn big into small."

Wei Ming said excitedly.

This time, Cao Wei really fell a big somersault.

At least he can be quiet for half a year.

Don't you see in the military camp, Cao Ming's people are all walking with their heads down.

"Truly makes people feel proud and elated."

Ge Hong also laughed: "It's a pity that those Zhang family people ran away, otherwise I really want to see what their faces are now!"

Speaking of the Zhang family.

Wei Ming sighed.

"Back then I also dealt with Zhang Hao, he was considered a figure, never thought he would die like this."

Ge Hong is a Qinghe person.

Knows better the prestige of that Second Master Zhang.

"World affairs are impermanent, must be careful and more careful."

Wei Ming is the same as Zhang Hao, both are seventh-rank; Zhang Hao will die violently, he is the same.

Martial path climbing, has always been full of dangers.

Li Rui nodded: "Must be more careful."

Wei Ming also nodded in agreement: "Qinghe now is not comparable to when I first came, truly called crouching tiger, hidden dragon; heard a Vice Sect Master of the Mingguang Sect has come, that is a sixth-rank."

Ge Hong gasped.

Good heavens.

Sixth-rank.

A huge Tiandi Alliance, before Ning Zhongtian broke through, the highest was only seventh-rank peak.

Now in a Qinghe City, the number of sixth-rank experts is probably more than five fingers.

There might even be stronger ones lurking.

Since the new city was built, more and more foreign forces moved to Qinghe, and their strength is one more terrifying than the other.

The Qinghe branch has already sent Tang Sheng to sit in town personally.

Now it seems it's not enough.

"Raising a dragon in the abyss, Brother Wei, Brother Ge, this is a great opportunity."

Li Rui said with a smile.

Wei Ming laughed: "Brother Li's words are very reasonable, shallow water is all turtles, the deeper the water, the greater our opportunities."

This truth is very simple.

The more experts in Qinghe, the more resources gathered.

The most direct.

Before, seventh-rank elixirs were already very rare, but now, after the Pill King Workshop was swallowed by Qingfeng Villa, they even sell sixth-rank elixirs.

Why is it hard for Qinghe to produce even one seventh-rank?

Is it that people are not good?

That's just one aspect, more is because resources are not enough; it can be expected that experts in Qinghe will surely grow one after another like bamboo shoots after rain.

It might even be comparable to the atmosphere of Anning Prefecture.

This situation, although rare, has not happened in the Yu Kingdom.

This big dragon of the Anning Guard has stirred Qinghe, this small pond, into an abyss.

Li Rui thought in his heart.

"Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, only self-strengthening!"
