How can he gain a foothold in the Demon Slayer Division in Fucheng after this?
"Director Lu, is this too much?"
He said coldly.
"Passed? What I hate most in my life is someone asking me to be more generous. You are very generous. Why not take responsibility for the mistakes they made?" Lu Jiuzhang said.
"this……"
Just as the other party was about to speak, he was interrupted by Lu Jiuzhang, "Since you don't want to do this, there is nothing left to say."
Lu Jiuzhang looked at the demon-slaying guards in front of him, "Just give yourself a few slaps and this matter will be revealed."
Lu Jiuzhang's move was undoubtedly to establish his authority.
Those demon-slaying guards had no choice but to give him a few hard slaps.
Even if they are dissatisfied, they dare not show it.
…
After the processing was over, Lu Jiuzhang went to find Zhou Cheng.
At this time, Zhou Cheng was cleaning up the room. Seeing Lu Jiuzhang come in, Zhou Cheng stopped and said respectfully, "Director Lu."
"How's it going? It's been a few days since I came to Anxi Mansion. Are you still used to it?" Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"good!"
Zhou Cheng nodded, "I have no worries to begin with, and I am all alone in Changshui County."
"What about your cultivation? If I remember correctly, it has been some time since you entered the martial arts level. When will you be able to break through to the eighth level of martial arts?" Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"Soon!"
Zhou Cheng looked at his arm. He had broken his arm when he was fighting demons in Changshui County.
His fighting ability dropped drastically, but luckily he started practicing his left-handed sword.
Now the combat strength has returned to its previous level.
As for his martial arts cultivation, he is about to break through to the eighth level of martial arts.
"Break through as soon as possible!"
Lu Jiuzhang said, "If the world is going to be in chaos, the higher your cultivation level is, the easier it will be to survive."
"Director Lu, can you hear about what happened in Nanxiang County?"
Zhou Cheng suddenly asked.
"What's up?"
Lu Jiuzhang has been busy during this period, either practicing or dealing with the internal affairs of the Demon Slayer Department, and does not know much about the outside world.
"There was an earthquake in Nanxiang County. Black fog swallowed up half of the county. The red moon shone brightly, and the strange phenomenon was highlighted." Zhou Cheng said, "There are a lot of discussions among the people. Some people say it is the invasion of monsters, and some people say the new emperor..."
Zhou Cheng didn't dare to say the rest, as it was treasonous and unethical.
If someone with a heart hears it and reports it, he will be beheaded.
"What's in the black mist?" Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"The new emperor sent Jian Zheng to bring a group of masters there. Jian Zheng was a third-level martial artist, but he never came out after entering." Zhou Cheng said.
He also heard it from the market.
A third-level martial artist, he was considered a master in the Zhou Dynasty.
But entering the black mist, there was no movement at all, which was really strange.
Lu Jiuzhang couldn't help but think of what Luo Fusheng said that day.
The seal is broken, and the world will return to its original state.
"Master Lu!"
Just as Lu Jiuzhang was about to give Zhou Cheng a few words, a voice came from outside.
Lu Jiuzhang opened the door, and a handyman stood in front of the door, bowing and waiting for Lu Jiuzhang.
"What's the matter?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"The director summons you!"
Xiaosihui reports.
"Director?"
Lu Jiuzhang nodded and walked towards the courtyard where the director's office was located.
After a cup of tea, Lu Jiuzhang walked here and found that in addition to the old director, the other two deputy directors were also there.
They arrived early.
It seems that the old director has something important to explain.
Seeing that everyone was here, the old director coughed twice and got down to business, "The Demon Slayer General has issued a summons to recruit warriors of the seventh or higher level of martial arts from the Great Zhou Dynasty to gather in the three southern counties."
"Old Director, is it because of the black mist?"
a deputy director asked.
"Yes, not entirely." The old director explained, "The black fog appeared, and the entire Zhou Dynasty was in chaos. After Master Jianzheng entered, more than a dozen masters entered, but there was still no movement."
"The demon realm has discovered the clues and has already used the border of the black mist to find a way to penetrate into the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Originally, the three counties in the south had sufficient men and horses for defense.
At the same time, there are also several dangerous passes, all of which are easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Now there is a problem in Nanxiang County, and two dangerous passes have been swallowed up.
Those monsters have the tendency to invade the Great Zhou Dynasty along the border of the black mist.
In order to prevent attacks from monsters, the Demon Slayer General Division had no choice but to mobilize some warriors from various places, especially veterans, to form a simple defense line in the three southern counties.
"I plan to go to the three southern counties. In addition, a deputy director will go with me."
The old director looked at the three people in front of him.
After a while, the old director's eyes left Lu Jiuzhang and looked at the other two people.
"Both of you are at the seventh level of martial arts. Who would like to go with me?"
The old director automatically ignored Lu Jiuzhang.
For a long time, neither deputy director-general replied.
"If possible, I would like to go." Lu Jiuzhang said, "My martial arts and Confucianism both broke through to the seventh level a few days ago."
"It turns out that Director Lu has already made a breakthrough."
"Really, I told you earlier, with such a strong strength, going to the three southern counties can also better eliminate monsters and contribute to the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"..."
The two deputy directors agreed.
In terms of strength, Lu Jiuzhang is stronger than them.
Not to mention the seventh level of martial arts, the seventh level of Confucianism and Daoism often has unexpected effects when suppressing demons.
In terms of age, Lu Jiuzhang is younger than them and can endure hardship more.
To sum up, Lu Jiuzhang is the most suitable candidate.
"You can't go!"
The old director shook his head, "Beilu County has transferred more powerful people, and there are a lot of vacancies. The Demon Slayer General Directorate means to transfer some more powerful people from various prefectures to supplement the Demon Slayer Department in the county."
"Next, Beilu County will hold a competition. Since you have broken through to the seventh level of martial arts, you can compete for the position of Beilu County."
"I'll take Director Zhao on this trip. There's no need to argue anymore."
"There is one deputy director left to stay in the Demon Slaying Department. As for Lu Jiuzhang, prepare yourself. If there is a chance, you might as well compete for that position."
Lu Jiuzhang has great potential, so going to the border too early is not a good thing.
If he waits for his cultivation to break through again and has the capital to protect himself, then he can go to the border to practice.
The order was given, and everyone could only nod in agreement.
"After packing up, we will set off tomorrow." said the old director.
…
Late at night, about early morning.
Luo Fusheng just came back.
He is at the second level of martial arts and will never get drunk no matter how strong the wine is.
Seeing Lu Jiuzhang sitting under the big tree, Luo Fusheng, smelling of wine, sat beside him.
"How about watching the moon most of the night?"
Luo Fusheng asked with a smile.
"Senior Luo, have you ever heard about what happened in Nanxiang County?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked proactively.
"I heard that Nanxiang County is in chaos, but this chaos is just the beginning." Luo Fusheng said, "After a while, various strange phenomena may appear in various parts of the Zhou Dynasty."
"The Demon Slayer General Division has mobilized its forces and plans to go to the south to suppress the monsters." Lu Jiuzhang said, "I was originally planning to go together, but the old director refused."
