Chapter 31: The Nine Swords of Dugu
In the wind and snow, a cavalry in Changling County left the city, carrying Gu Qingci's memorial. Changling County was so moving that no matter whether he was willing to be promoted or not, he had to report the situation here to the court, not to mention that a large group of people were waiting for rewards.
Langya County.
What Gu Qingci didn't know was that the first stop of his memorial was intercepted and fell into the hands of the county magistrate Zhang Zhihuan. At this time, the county magistrate held the memorial, with a lot of thoughts.
As the candlelight was swaying, a person came to Zhang Zhihuan's house. This man was a middle-aged man, wearing an open-minded blue shirt and casually tied a knife. Qingjun's eyebrows and eyes felt free and easy. The smile appeared and illuminated the dark room a little.
This person is Yue Yan, the chief chief of the Six Sects of Langya County. He is a fourth-rank official in the court. His strength is unfathomable. He is in charge of Langya County and supervises the major martial arts sects of Langya County. Even the Langya Sword Sect, one of the seven sects and eight sects in the world, has to give him some face.
As soon as Zhang Zhihuan saw Yue Yan, he picked up Gu Qingci’s memorial and said, “Captain Yue, come and take a look at this memorial!”
Yue Yan was a little confused. Although his relationship with Zhang Zhihuan was not bad, he couldn't say it was very good. It was indeed a very strange thing to call him in the middle of the night. He took the memorial and looked at it, and his eyes gradually showed admiration and surprise, and said, "This is true. That Gu Qingci actually has such a means, he is a talent!"
Zhang Zhihuan smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, Gu Qingci has no background behind him. He just took control of Changling County by his own strength and destroyed the local martial arts forces. Such methods are amazing!"
Yue Yan frowned and said, "After that being said, you don't seem happy, Lord Zhang, no matter how I think of you, and even if this Gu Qingci is surprising, you won't let me come to you in the middle of the night, right?"
According to the rules of the Daxia Kingdom, when the memorial was submitted, the county government should immediately notify Liusanmen to send people to investigate and confirm the authenticity. However, such a thing would not be allowed to be informed by Zhang Zhihuan in person, and he did not meet this qualification.
Zhang Zhihuan shook his head and said, "This Gu Qingci is not the time to come. I just want to discuss with you how to deal with this matter."
Yue Yan asked in confusion: "What's the point of discussing this? Wouldn't it be better to send someone to see it?"
"Oh," Zhang Zhihuan sighed and said, "Do you remember the Jinshi sent to investigate in our Langya County, one of whom was the son of Shangshu Ma."
Yue Yan was slightly stunned and immediately remembered that four county magistrates of Langya County were the same as Gu Qingci, and one of them was even gilded, named Ma Zhibai, who was the son of Ma Dongyang, the Minister of Rites of the dynasty.
When Ma Zhibai first came to Langya County, his son Ma Dongyang greeted Zhang Zhihuan and Yue Yan and asked them to take care of him more. However, Ma Zhibai is a person with a high vision and low power. He has been here for nearly a year and has been with the Shangshu on his back, but he still has not achieved any results.
Yue Yan and Zhang Zhihuan were also annoyed by this. After all, I was a big official and was like a tight spell on their heads.
When Yue Yan heard Zhang Zhihuan's words, he immediately reacted and said, "You want to transfer this credit to Ma Zhibai, but what should I do with this Gu Qingci? Can he agree?"
Zhang Zhihuan said, "That's why I came to discuss it with you!"
Yue Yan frowned and said, "Then say!"
Zhang Zhihuan put down the memorial and said, "Actually, this matter is big or small. Gu Qingci is a poor disciple and has no background. I can order him to be transferred to another place, but I am afraid that he will disagree, so I will find a way to submit it to the court, and this matter will be a big deal."
Yue Yan nodded and said, "Do you want to cut off his path? But if he finds an opportunity to return to Beijing and makes this matter a big deal, it will be troublesome!"
"So, you have to take action from the Six Gates," said Zhang Zhihuan. "There are no Six Gates in Changling County. You can send someone to get a Six Gates branch there immediately. Then you can find a reason to convict Gu Qingci, and then transfer Ma Zhibai over. Wouldn't you be able to hide the truth?"
Yue Yan's eyes froze and he said coldly: "Did you let me kill Gu Qingci?"
"If he doesn't die, how can this credit be transferred?" Zhang Zhihuan said.
Yue Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll send two first-class warriors over!"
...
"Ding, the task is completed, Changling County is cleared, and the reward has been issued."
It was a cool snowy night. Gu Qingci had a cup of tea in front of him, three branches of incense beside the table, and a bright moon outside the window. He rolled up his sleeves and wrote with all his heart. When he looked up, he flicked his fingers, and a long sword with his handleless sword beside him. The piano sound was silent but not quiet. Although there was only clear water and no tea, there was only the porridge and pancakes that filled his hunger, and there was no incense beside him. Although there was still no bright moon outside the window.
As the system prompted the sound, he immediately stopped playing the piano and entered the system space.
Now that he has completed the mission, he has rewarded three random lottery draws, and there are 500 knight points, which has a total of 550 knight points left.
"Rull draw, system, I want to draw!"
Gu Qingci was very excited and finally had the opportunity to draw again. This was the main source of his confidence in maintaining his life.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, I will draw the knight Xiaolongnu and bring a bellyband. Will it be extracted?"
Gu Qingci was stunned. When he first saw that it was Xiaolongnu, he was a little excited. After all, Xiaolongnu had many good things on him, but in the end, he gave him a bellyband. What the hell?
"System, are you right? Can you take out your bellyband?" Gu Qingci complained.
System: "Everything that the knight has can be extracted!"
Gu Qingci shook his head helplessly and said, "You have a bellyband, why are you a big man here? I'm not that perverted. Forget it, continue to draw!"
"Ding, congratulations to the host, Zhao Min, the middle-aged hero, bringing a set of men's clothing, will he draw?"
"Damn," Gu Qingci cursed: "System, you came to deliberately disgust me today. I wasted so many opportunities, so I gave me these things. Did you do it on purpose?"
System: "Everything is random, the host needs to be prepared!"
Gu Qingci took a deep breath and said, "Is there anyone designated a lottery?"
"Yes, but the host has no designated chance to draw now!"
Gu Qingci was almost angry. He always thought he had a good temper, but now he couldn't help but want to hit someone, and said angrily: "Continue to smoke me!"
The system page immediately flashed, and soon, a handsome and elegant swordsman appeared on the system page. When people saw it, they were a romantic wanderer.
