Chapter 826: Variables (7800 Bonus)

"Daoist, please rise quickly!"

Xiao Yang hurriedly helped Dulongzi up, then looked around the private room, not feeling very reassured: "Is this place... safe?"

"Please rest assured, my Lord. Your subject long ago arranged Daoism techniques in the surroundings; there is not the slightest issue with soundproofing," Dulongzi said.

"Mm."

Xiao Yang sat down; that aura of composure and decisiveness was truly enough to make one yield.

He was also of the temperament that once a decision was made, he would not change it, and he asked: "Meihua... no... Dulongzi, what do you think should be done next?"

"My Lord controls the county soldiers; as long as you act, taking a county is no problem!" Dulongzi said sinisterly: "At that time, you can advance to attack other prefectures and counties, or retreat to hide in the deep mountains to wait for the opportune time. The only thing to worry about is that there is one person who must be killed!"

'Although Tian Ruhu has been wiped out, the roving bandits are endless... This world, I fear, is about to fall into chaos. Fortunately, the south is still relatively peaceful. Is Father preparing to move the clan members over?'

While deep in thought, he saw a document in his hand:

'Qin Mountain Stronghold has also been wiped out?'

This was no secret; Chen Zitong could also access it, and he knew that in the last year or two, a force had been suppressing bandits in the prefecture, killing or subduing quite a few people.

A Daoist temple.

Are you joking!

The work of a Document Clerk was, after all, just this kind of paperwork.

"County Magistrate Chen Hong?" Xiao Yang waved his hand: "I have wanted to kill him for a long time too..."

At the entrance, an old servant had been waiting. Seeing him arrive, he immediately bowed: "Young Master... the Master ordered me to bring a family letter."

Although a Daoist can perform Qi Gazing and see many things, there are great limitations, especially regarding not revealing things to those with great Qi Number, otherwise, it is easy to suffer Heavenly Punishment!

But the text below immediately piqued his interest: "Recently ascertained... the source is related to a Daoist at Luzhouji, by the name of 'Fang La'... currently recruiting Daoist acolytes, accepting partisans, plotting mischief, and may even be the wanted major criminal of the Imperial Court—the evil Daoist Xulingzi? Interesting! Truly interesting!"

"Do it!" Xiao Yang thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "I was being hypocritical. Since I intend to kill, I will kill his whole family!"

Although... life in the military was indeed not bad; it was simple and direct. If you are strong enough, people will submit to you.

The Regional Commander even had the intention to let Chen Zitong join the army, willing to recommend him as a Team Leader!

Although a Team Leader is only a From Ninth Rank, it is still a proper official position; many people cannot get it even if they beg.

After thinking it over, he finally accepted the Regional Commander's recruitment and entered the military camp to live.

"Not so, it is Chen Hong's son—Chen Zitong!" Dulongzi said: "Does my Lord know... there is Dragon Qi in this world, and whenever there is chaotic times, it will descend... That Chen Zitong is the one favored by the local Dragon Qi of Jiangzhou, possessing the native Dragon Qi. Therefore, if my Lord wants to become a dragon, you must kill this person!"

However, it was politely declined by Chen Zitong.

Not far away, black Qi permeated, vaguely forming into a tiger shape, charging toward a place... then it seemed to collide with some copper wall or iron bastion, like waves crashing against a reef, collapsing with a boom!

"The Military Qi of the Fengxiang Army has moved... this omen is inauspicious!"

"It's a pity... I originally wanted to see if that Xulingzi really has the skills as the Legendary accounts say."

The Prefect also weighed it several times, and only after receiving a Secret order from the Imperial Court did he prepare to act!

And the matter of taking action was naturally handed over to the Fengxiang Army!

Even if they are garrison troops, they are still a great army. If you bring hundreds or thousands of people to surround them, any Daoist will die!

Therefore, Chen Zitong knew the evil Daoist's "martial prowess was astonishing, and the county could not control him," and later someone secretly reported it to the Prefect.

It must be said that Chen Zitong seemed naturally suited for the atmosphere here. Not only did he quickly figure out his own work, but his document processing was never wrong, earning the favor of the Regional Commander, and it was said he would soon be promoted. Furthermore, he often exercised his body at the drill ground and got to know a group of low-to-mid-level officer brothers, especially after he held a staff and fought his way through the camp without a match, his prestige rising even higher!

Fengxiang Army barracks.

Chen Zitong immediately stood solemnly, straightened his clothes and hat, and only then respectfully took the letter and unfolded it to read.

With the current atmosphere of the Great Song valuing literature over martial arts, if he dared to join the army, his father would dare to beat him to death!

By now, Dulongzi had naturally found out which side the Chongming Dao was betting on.

Seeing that it was originally cloudless for ten thousand miles, the sky blue as if washed, at this moment it was covered with dark clouds, with faint thunder, and Electric light flickering...

After saying this, he did not know why, but he suddenly felt a sense of trepidation.

"My Lord is wise!"

Chen Zitong sighed, finished organizing the documents, walked out of the camp, and returned to his residence.

Chen Zitong thought to himself, then said to the old servant: "Please tell Father, I have leave in two days, I will definitely return!"

He looked at Xiao Yang, who was deep in thought, and said to himself: 'Since ancient times, Hidden Dragons have had their destined numbers... This Xiao Yang's fate pattern, although it exists, is actually not as good as that Hidden Dragon... But I buried his father's remains in the "Flying Dragon in the Sky Cave," so he also has a trace of Dragon Qi on him, which gives him the strength to contend!'

'Looking at this letter... there is probably still something going on?'

Although his position was low and his rank small, being at the center, he naturally knew more news than those outside.

Moreover, he had long made arrangements.

'The so-called Contending for the Dragon... is to kill other Hidden Dragons, gather all the Flood Dragon Qi, and become a True Dragon!'

Now seeing the Hidden Dragon about to take flight, Cangsong Daoren was happy, but also felt some trepidation.

Chen Zitong was holding a pile of documents, entering the room, skillfully categorizing, transcribing, and summarizing...

Cangsong Daoren was brewing tea and tasting it, when he suddenly froze, looking at the sky.

'As long as I kill Chen Zitong and truly seize the other party's Qi Number, then at the very least, I will have the pattern and Qi Luck to carve out a territory!'

Dulongzi was overjoyed. When a Flood Dragon starts its career, it must be decisive in killing; only then is it the right path!

"So it is Father who has sent a letter!"

Not to mention, there was also a group of low-to-mid-level officer brothers who had no sense of secrecy at all; once they drank too much, they would say anything.

"Not to mention... the Regional Commander also attaches great importance to it and has decided to mobilize two thousand elite troops to surround them from all sides... This is not to mention a mere Daoist; even if it were some Zen sect ancestral temple or Daoist holy land... it could be wiped out!"

His father's "hairpin-flower" regular script was becoming more profound; this font was pleasing to the eye, and what was written on it was just a small matter, asking if he could return during his leave.

He stared blankly at the direction of the military camp for a long time, then sighed: "Regional Commander Li Tie, with leopard eyes and round pupils, a swallow's jaw and tiger's whiskers, has the talent of a great general, but is overcome by the Hidden Dragon Qi Number... He will not live long, and the Fengxiang Army will also soon suffer heavy losses... This is the opportunity for the Hidden Dragon to rise... But this change in Dragon Qi is truly incomprehensible, incomprehensible indeed..."

Therefore, this Chen Zitong must die!

This was also a preemptive opportunity that Dulongzi had hidden in the shadows and plotted for a long time to obtain.

"It's just... that layer of mist from a moment ago, why couldn't I see through it?"

"Could it be... that there are still variables in this matter?!"
