Volume Three Famous Beilu County Chapter 247 Two Women Meet
The new emperor looked at Prime Minister Zuo again.
But he didn't speak for a long time. Just when the new emperor thought that the left prime minister had no way, he slowly spoke, "It can be suppressed with force!"
"Most of the people in the sect are arrogant. If we adopt a gentle policy, the other party will think that we are easy to bully. But if we suppress it forcefully, they will be afraid."
The new emperor nodded, but felt a little worried in his heart, "The Demon Slayer Division has mobilized most of its forces to suppress the monsters in southern Xinjiang. If they rashly turn against the sect and take back the disciples they sent, what should they do?"
Not only the Demon Slayer Division, but also many places need the services of these sects.
In the court, many of the ministers' guards were recruited from those sects.
"Hit him with a stick first, and then give him a sweet date. This is the way to control people."
The left minister said, "I have no intention of teaching your majesty how to do things, but the strong men of the sect must know who is the ruler and who is the subject."
The new emperor nodded slightly, "Let me think about this matter some more."
If we really want to suppress those sects, we will have to take action from the powerful members of the Royal Ancestral Elders Group.
There were only a limited number of masters in the Ming Dynasty during the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Those aristocratic families seemed to be under the rule of the emperor, but the ancestors of the aristocratic families and first-grade warriors could not be dispatched by the new emperor.
Without a first-grade warrior to come forward, it would be difficult to suppress this matter.
…
Beilu County City.
Secret orders were conveyed one after another.
However, this secret order did not reach the hands of Commander Xu, but the hands of the Commander-in-Chief.
Immediately, Lord Jun Cheng began to make arrangements.
At night, a curfew is imposed.
Groups of armored soldiers walked through the streets.
Vaguely, there were soldiers in golden armor appearing.
These golden-armored soldiers are the Imperial Guards. To be selected as one of them, one must have at least a seventh-grade martial arts cultivation level.
It is rumored that the commander of the Imperial Guard is a first-level martial artist and lives in the imperial city all year round, guarding the new emperor.
But the leader usually doesn't care about things.
The deputy commander is in charge of matters. The second-level martial arts cultivation level and the personnel transfer of the Imperial Guard are all decided by this deputy commander.
He is the real boss of the Praetorian Guard.
There are 30,000 imperial guards in the imperial city, which is 30,000 seventh-level martial arts practitioners.
Among them, there are countless masters of the sixth, fifth and fourth levels of martial arts.
Except for the new emperor and the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, no one can really grasp this number.
The Imperial Guard is the barrier of the royal family and the strongest army in the world.
Even the frontier troops who have been fighting all year round are unable to stand up to the Imperial Guards.
Under the cover of night.
There was a curfew outside, so Lu Jiuzhang did not go out to drink tonight.
Just as he was about to take a rest, there was a knock on the door.
Lu Jiuzhang opened the door, and standing outside was Lord Jun Cheng.
"Visiting late at night, Lord Jun Cheng isn't just here to ask for a drink, is he?" Lu Jiuzhang said with a smile.
"Of course not, but if there is a jar of old wine, then the chat will be more enjoyable."
Lord Jun Cheng walked in.
Lu Jiuzhang sent Bai Xiaosu to fetch two jars of wine.
After the curfew, most of those inns were closed.
There was no appetizer, so the two of them drank together under the moonlight.
"There is such a big movement tonight, is there a big shot coming?" Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"According to rumors, the Left Prime Minister is coming."
Lord Jun Cheng said.
"Left Prime Minister?"
Lu Jiuzhang smiled. It seemed that the Lord Commander was not telling the truth.
Either the news he got was false, or he just didn't want to tell Lu Jiuzhang.
There are so many golden-armored guards outside, these are the imperial guards of the imperial city.
The person coming this time is probably the new emperor!
"Master Jun Cheng is looking for me tonight. Why?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"I want to borrow some men and horses from you! There are enough people patrolling outside, but we still need some warriors to hide inside the houses and pretend to be ordinary people. Once there is a problem somewhere, these people are scattered around the county and can rush to it as soon as possible.
arrive."
Lord Jun Cheng said.
"Can!"
Lu Jiuzhang nodded, this is not difficult.
"The second thing is about the situation of the black mist ruins." Mr. Jun Cheng continued, "We have all been to the black mist. Although there is no danger in it, there is plenty of spiritual energy."
"Some people from aristocratic families want to enclose the Black Mist Ruins for their own family members to practice. The other party has already found me, and they have also sent people into the Black Mist Ruins to explore."
The fact that Lord Jun Cheng and Lu Jiuzhang entered the ruins is not a secret. Although not many people know about it, if they are willing to inquire, they can still know it clearly.
It would be okay for people like them to enter the ruins, let alone those children of aristocratic families.
After going in and exploring, we found that there was no danger inside and it was suitable for practicing.
The heads of some aristocratic families must have had their thoughts on taking possession of this black mist ruins for their own children to hone in.
There just happen to be a lot of monsters inside, and fighting them can improve your combat effectiveness.
"Is there any benefit?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"Of course there is. They guarantee that I will be able to enter the Jingzhao Mansion and take up a position. At the same time, they will also provide a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures as well as various cultivation resources."
Jun Cheng smiled and said, "The temptation is great!"
I have been working in Beilu County for some years. It is a lie that I don’t want to work in Jingzhao Mansion.
The stage there was bigger, and it was the center of power of the Zhou Dynasty.
The head of the aristocratic family seized on this and wanted to seduce the county magistrate and let him open the door to convenience.
"Brother Lu also contributed a lot to this exploration of the ruins. I can give you half of these resources." The county magistrate said, "Although I am not like Commander Xu, but in the face of these resources, it is really difficult to refuse."
Looking at Jun Cheng's expression, Lu Jiuzhang knew that the conditions offered by the other party should be extremely generous.
"I don't need it. Lord Jun Cheng can use it alone."
Lu Jiuzhang declined.
"I don't like to be involved in this kind of transaction. But don't worry, Lord Jun Cheng, if you accept it, I won't say anything." Lu Jiuzhang added.
"Brother Lu, this..."
Lord Jun Cheng was in trouble.
To be honest, he is the county magistrate, so he can decide this kind of thing by himself.
But he still came to see Lu Jiuzhang.
That day in the black mist ruins, Lu Jiuzhang made a great contribution.
But what Lord Jun Cheng didn't expect was that Lu Jiuzhang directly refused.
This is somewhat beyond the expectations of Lord Jun Cheng.
"The transaction is not what I want." Lu Jiuzhang said with a smile, "The black mist ruins are not mine in the first place, so why do you need to discuss it with me?"
"Brother Lu is so noble and honorable!"
The Jun Cheng praised in his heart, "If that's the case, then I also reject those heads of the aristocratic families. Brother Lu, if this is the case, I can't let my brother see the joke."
Immediately, the two of them laughed, picked up the wine in the jar, and drank it all in one gulp.
…
The next day, early morning.
Lu Jiuzhang rushed to the Demon Slayer Division.
The disciples who went out to slay demons have returned.
Baihua Valley is indeed one of the three sects, and the female disciples within the sect are very powerful in combat.
This time, they killed the most monsters.
Lu Jiuzhang rewarded her for her merits and gave the woman in red a position as a demon slayer.
In addition, five titles of Demon-Slaying Guards were given out.
The remaining people are still just ordinary handymen.
But this already shows Lu Jiuzhang's attitude. If you want to be promoted in the Demon Slayer Division, killing monsters is one of the fastest ways.
Then, Lu Jiuzhang sent these female disciples to the county captain.
The county lieutenant is in charge of the troops and horses of the county.
Lord Jun Cheng came to Lu Jiuzhang last night for this reason.
After sending the female disciple there, the woman in red did not leave, but walked to Lu Jiuzhang's side Yingying, "Master Lu, I have been gone for so long, I wonder if you miss me?"
"What's the meaning?"
Lu Jiuzhang didn't understand.
He remembered that the woman in red had a different personality before she left.
Why did he go out to fight monsters and come back with this kind of virtue?
The woman in red bit her lip.
She did admire Lin Yi. When she went out to fight demons and chatted with the girls from her sect, those female disciples advised her to take the initiative.
For a person with Lu Jiuzhang's status, there will be many Yingying Yanyan around him.
Therefore, after returning to the Demon Slayer Division, the woman in red first dressed up, then put on rouge, put on her most beautiful red dress and gauze, and came to Lu Jiuzhang's office.
With such an expression, Lu Jiuzhang must be able to understand.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I opened my mouth, Mr. Lu would reply with something meaningless.
Why!
This man really made her feel sad.
"It's nothing, I just missed Mr. Lu when I went out to fight monsters."
The woman in red said with a flirtatious look.
"Bang bang bang..."
Just as the woman in red finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside.
Then, a young boy came in and informed Mr. Zhao Yuru of Lu Jiuzhang Qianji Tower that he was here to visit.
Zhao Yuru!
As soon as she heard this name, the woman in red knew that the other person must be a woman.
I just said that Lu Jiuzhang would not be short of Yingying Yanyan, but he didn't expect that these Yingying Yanyans would come to his door now.
She wanted to see what the girl named Zhao Yuru looked like!
"Invite her in."
Lu Jiuzhang said.
A few minutes later, a man dressed in white and dressed like a man walked in.
Although she is wearing men's clothing, she still does not conceal the feminine beauty of her body.
This kind of clothing seems to have a more heroic spirit, giving people a sense of heroic appearance!
"Shou Cheng!"
Zhao Yuru nodded slightly towards Lu Jiuzhang, then looked at the woman in red beside her, "Who is this?"
A woman's intuition told Zhao Yuru that the woman in red, dressed in gauze, obviously had bad intentions.
She also appeared at Lu Jiuzhang's office, trying to snatch Lu Jiuzhang away from her.
So for a while, Zhao Yuru didn't have a good tone.
"Disciples of Baihua Valley." Lu Jiuzhang simply explained.
"Now I'm joining the Demon Slayer Department. I am the Demon Slayer of the Demon Slayer Department in the county. Director Lu specially promoted me today." The woman in red said not to be outdone.
She was clarifying the relationship between Lu Jiuzhang and her.
Let Zhao Yuru see how kind Lu Jiuzhang is to her and even promote her to the Demon Slayer of the Demon Slayer Division.
"Can disciples from the three sects openly join the Demon Slayer Division? The world has really changed."
Zhao Yuru glanced at the woman in red, and her words were full of sarcasm.
"Ahem..." Lu Jiuzhang interrupted the quarrel between the two at the right time and turned to ask Zhao Yuru, "I wonder what Miss Yuru wants from me?"
