Chapter 182

Lu Xingzhou knew that the Yama Palace had issued a statement to cut ties with Ye Wufeng, but he didn't know that Ye Wufeng's master, the Western Ghost Emperor Tan Xinhong, had already died at the hands of Yuan Muyu. The people in the capital branch didn't dare to tell him.

The Yama Palace's expedition to the Yin Corpse Sect was considered Yuan Muyu venting her anger for Lu Xingzhou, but it was indeed an excuse for taking action. Yuan Muyu needed to replenish the strength of the Yama Palace and also needed to expand, so conquering the Yin Corpse Sect was a very good plan.

In fact, subduing the Yin Corpse Sect was also a strategic plan that Lu Xingzhou had set in his early years. The Underworld, well, it fits the background of the Yin Corpse Sect quite well, and it can be brought under his banner. This kind of "matching" is not only from the aspect of cultivation and "Dao," but also belongs to a kind of "sect culture," which is something people in this world rarely consider.

It's just that demonic sects are generally hidden very tightly and are hard to find, so this plan never came to fruition.

This time, it happened that because Yuan Muyu went to find trouble with the Yin Corpse Sect, the follow-up was accidentally traced to the old nest by the Eastern Ghost Emperor Ji Wenchuan, and the next things were logical.

From this perspective, Lu Xingzhou accidentally became a lucky star for the Yama Palace again. Just by venting his anger, he suddenly achieved a plan that had been shelved for years.

It's as if Lu Xingzhou, who had left, was still adding bricks and tiles to the Yama Palace. From the initial planning to the reason for implementation, his shadow was everywhere.

Now Lu Xingzhou's mood is a bit complicated.

It's fine to mix with Shen Tang, at least there is no intersection with the Yama Palace in the short term. But the current Mrs. Ye obviously has some past connection with Yuan Muyu, and I don't know if there will be any conflict in the future.

That would be a real headache.

"Then... is there anything else besides this?"

Meng Guan said leisurely: "The Heaven-Walking Sword Sect has peacefully annexed the Dan Ding Gang through a competition and acquisition model. It has expanded its sect gate to the western suburbs of Xiazhou, and it is no longer just a pattern surrounded by two mountains."

Lu Xingzhou was a little surprised.

The Dan Ding Gang is about the same as the original Danxia Gang, both of which are gangs that do medicinal herb cultivation and sales. Their strength is not strong, but their location is exactly what the Heaven-Walking Sword Sect needs.

In a place like Xiazhou that focuses on medicinal herb cultivation, of course, it is not just the Danxia and Lingquan peaks standing side by side; there are also continuous mountains behind. The Danxia and Lingquan mountains are the mountains closest to the city, so it feels a bit like two gates.

The Heaven-Walking Sword Sect wants to expand, of course, it can't expand into the city. The mountains behind are the direction, as the sword comes out of all peaks.

But Xiazhou's forces are weak, but they are not something you can annex just because you say so, or destroy the sect just because you say so. The Heaven-Walking Sword Sect is not like the Yama Palace. Righteous ways must have a basic law in doing things, otherwise, if you see whose land you like and destroy it directly, wouldn't the world be in chaos? The existence of the imperial court is the formulation and maintenance of rules, and those who ignore the rules are demonic ways.

The Fenxiang Building thought that it had Prince Jin behind it and messed around, and no one sighed for them when they were destroyed.

Expanding and annexing forces within the rules, there must have been many games behind this, and it doesn't need Lu Xingzhou to give ideas for everything. This is Shen Tang's own ability starting to shine.

Seeing Lu Xingzhou drinking and drinking in a good mood, Meng Guan added another sentence leisurely: "When you were still sleeping in the wild, the imperial court passed the court discussion, and Xiazhou was officially promoted to a county seat, and Dongjiang County will become history. Although this is not a matter of the rivers and lakes, I think you will want to hear it."

Lu Xingzhou's good mood suddenly skipped a beat, and his face changed: "Too early!"

Meng Guan: "..."

Lu Xingzhou left the table and paced back and forth twice: "Since Dongjiang County has requested this matter, it shows that the spiritual energy of Xiazhou can no longer be hidden from people. Those who are interested will naturally know that the core of the change in the earth's veins is Danxia Mountain. The Heaven-Walking Sword Sect is not strong enough... It has only been half a year since it has been making money in silence, and it is going to face challenges again."

Meng Guan smiled: "Isn't it just right that you are back? You can fight side by side, not to mention that you are bringing a first-rank with you now. Speaking of which, it's not bad for a sect to have some tests, especially since the current Heaven-Walking Sword Sect is a mixture of the Danxia Gang and the Fenxiang Building, and it also needs some wars to strengthen its cohesion."

Lu Xingzhou said helplessly: "The Governor doesn't know... forget it."

Meng Guan's words are of course not wrong. A newly emerging sect like the Heaven-Walking Sword Sect is destined to experience more wars than other sects, and it really needs the baptism of war to talk about cohesion. Just now, everyone has to follow the rules in doing things, anyway, it won't always be like the Fenxiang Building's surprise attack to destroy the sect, and routine conflicts are not difficult to deal with.

It just so happens that he is back at this time, and being able to fight side by side is not a happy event. It just so happens that Mrs. Ye is on the side, and the face is very big. Even if there is a demonic way messing around, it is basically coming to send food.

But the problem is that this is not a matter of the rivers and lakes, the core is how Gu Zhanting views it.

Putting Shen Tang in Xiazhou before was no different from a kind of exile. What can a rural place with thin spiritual energy and barren resources do, not to mention Shen Tang is still lame. But only half a year later, the so-called rural place suddenly became a spiritual mountain treasure land. What does Gu Zhanting think?

Once the Emperor feels that Shen Tang's rise is exceeding the standard, then repeating the Heaven-Walking Sword Sect's destruction case will not be reasonable.

The biggest demonic way in the world is the rule-maker himself.

Lu Xingzhou lost his mood to drink and chat, and arched his hands: "I don't know if Governor Meng has any friendship with this Dongjiang Governor?"

Meng Guan said: "What do you want to do?"

"The Emperor will definitely consult in detail about the spiritual energy situation of Xiazhou and Danxia Mountain. I hope that Dongjiang County's reply can try to say that the situation is weak... well, it's not deceiving the Emperor, it's the art of language, you all know better than me."

Meng Guan laughed: "This Governor is named Zhang Rongzhi, he is my classmate, but this relationship is not as effective as another relationship."

Lu Xingzhou was energized: "What?"

"He is a former official of Minister Pei. This time he reported the request to change the county seat to Minister Pei first. If you can ask Minister Pei to say a few words, it will be much more useful than me."

Lu Xingzhou wrote a letter swish-swish: "Please ask Governor Meng to send someone to send it to the Pei Mansion urgently, to Miss Chuyun."

Meng Guan received the letter leisurely: "In this day and age, even cats can read letters..."

Lu Xingzhou: "..."

Meng Guan also wrote a letter to Lu Xingzhou on the spot: "Also bring a letter to Zhang Rongzhi for me. Classmate friendship still needs some letter exchanges."

Lu Xingzhou took it and saluted sincerely: "Thank you, Governor Meng."

Meng Guan had deep meaning: "Follow Mrs. Ye well for the trial... I am waiting for your rise." …………

The guest house that Meng Guan arranged for Lu Xingzhou and his party had deeper meaning.

That is the guest courtyard where Lu Xingzhou lived, where he hid Pei Chuyun who claimed to be raising a cat.

Lu Xingzhou didn't know whether to call Meng Guan's bad taste sensible or thinking too much. How could Mrs. Ye be the same as Pei Chuyun?

He and A-Nuo went back on tiptoe, carefully, and slipped into their room, not daring to breathe.

Today, the "Mom" called out in public, and Mrs. Ye was obviously blown up. I don't know if she will be beaten to death.

"Stop!" A cold voice came from Mrs. Ye's room. The master and apprentice's thief-like movements were stuck there, and they said helplessly: "What are the teacher's instructions?"

A void big hand descended from the sky, picked up A-Nuo with two fingers, and a rattan whip was drawn from somewhere, "swish" and whipped towards A-Nuo's butt.

Before it even hit, A-Nuo cried: "Teacher, I was just confused for a moment..."

Lu Xingzhou quickly hugged A-Nuo and carried this whip with his back: "A-Nuo was instigated by me, teacher, if you have anger, come at me."

Ye Tinglan was almost laughed at: "Do you think you are very noble?"

"No, no, it's what I should do..."

"Even if you were instigated, is it not wrong? Copy the Alchemy Academy rules a hundred times, and check tomorrow morning!"

A-Nuo breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "The old woman is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted."

Lu Xingzhou whispered back: "Don't seek death, she probably can hear it, I'll carry the thunder."

The big hand coiled A-Nuo into a ball, threw her into the room next to her, picked up Lu Xingzhou, threw him directly into Ye Tinglan's door, and threw him on the ground with a "pop".

Lu Xingzhou fell to the ground, a pair of white cloth shoes in front of him, looking a bit like a Daoist style, serious and upright, and the white color added a bit of purity to this seriousness. The beautiful feet were small, and they looked a bit cute.

Pure and seductive. Lu Xingzhou's mind flashed this evaluation, and the beautiful feet kicked over, kicked him over, and stepped on his chest.

The leg bending on the chest was slightly curved, Ye Tinglan bent down, her right hand supported her knee with her elbow horizontally, looking down at Lu Xingzhou's messy look, and said coldly: "Do you know how the last person who tried to ruin my reputation died?"

Lu Xingzhou felt that if the last one was also stepped on like this, it might have been a nosebleed to death.

Fortunately, the traveler is well-informed and can hold it.

He quickly put on an apologetic face: "The child is ignorant, teacher, don't care about her."

"Didn't you say you instigated it?"

"I accept the punishment."

"Why ruin my reputation?"

"Teacher..." Lu Xingzhou pondered for a while and said in a low voice: "People say the realm of Tengyun, riding the wind, traveling to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening, how carefree. Why is the teacher full of shackles, not at all like a seeker of immortality and Dao."

"What does this have to do with you ruining my reputation?"

"If the teacher can have fewer concerns, then we don't have to sleep in the open along the way."

"Just for this?"

"For the teacher to live a little easier."

Ye Tinglan was stunned. Knowing that he was full of crooked reasons, she couldn't help but sigh.

She finally took her foot back, turned and sat back on the chair, and said coldly: "Get up."

"Cough." Lu Xingzhou rolled up, secretly looking at her expression.

Wearing a veil, really many things can't be seen. Lu Xingzhou suddenly wanted her to take off her veil, so he said directly: "Just like I really don't know why the teacher always wears a veil, why can't you be more casual?"

Ye Tinglan said coldly: "To have fewer eyes like yours darting around."

Actually, it's just a habit. As a National Teacher, she needs a certain sense of mystery. A young and beautiful face is not conducive to the creation of majesty and mystery. On the contrary, the identity of Mrs. Ye doesn't need a veil to cover it, but she is used to it. Of course, wearing a veil can indeed save a lot of nagging things.

Lu Xingzhou told her seriously: "If the teacher is just to avoid being coveted by lechers, then I can tell the teacher very responsibly that wearing a veil attracts more wild thoughts. Mystery and the unknown are the most seductive. It's better to be generous and plain-faced."
