Volume Three Famous Beilu County Chapter 248 Duckweed in Troubled Times
Zhao Yuru did not answer, but glanced at the woman in red.
It seemed that there was something important, so he urged her to leave and only discuss it with Lu Jiuzhang.
"Let me go out first."
After hearing this, the woman in red had no choice but to walk out of the room.
Only Lu Jiuzhang and Zhao Yuru were left in the room.
"I came to you this time mainly because a large number of new cultivation resources and treasures appeared in Qianji Tower." Zhao Yuru said, "Someone sold them to Qianji Tower at a low price. If you need them, I will bring them to you."
"Selling at a low price? Is there such a person in the entire Beilu County?" Lu Jiuzhang was confused, but he realized it in an instant, "Could he be our newly appointed Lord Sheriff?"
He was the only one who obtained a large amount of treasures and resources in a short period of time.
At that banquet, apart from Lu Jiuzhang and Jun Cheng, all the dignitaries who went there gave generous gifts.
These generous gifts are of no use to Commander Xu and they might as well be exchanged for money.
"right!"
Zhao Yuru nodded and admitted, and said, "I think many cultivation resources should be useful to you and can polish your physical body."
"After work, let me go with you."
Lu Jiuzhang said.
During this period of time, Lu Jiuzhang improved rapidly in cultivation.
But he still felt there were some shortcomings.
If he can enter the fifth or even fourth level of martial arts as soon as possible, even if a catastrophe comes and those hidden sect strongmen take action, as long as they are not particularly outrageous strong men, Lu Jiuzhang can still dare to fight with them.
"Come with me to visit the Demon Slayer Department in this county. I haven't been here before."
Zhao Yuru invited.
"Let's go. I've been coming to the Demon Slayer Department in the county for a while, but I've been involved in worldly affairs and haven't gotten around to it much."
Lu Jiuzhang stood up and walked outside with Zhao Yuru.
As soon as the two people went out, they saw a woman in red standing outside.
Seeing Zhao Yuru and Lu Jiuzhang in pairs, Zhao Yuru gritted her teeth.
Aren’t we just discussing important matters?
She also has something important to do.
"Director Lu, I have something important to report."
The woman in red said, "It's really important."
After saying this, the woman in red deliberately glanced at Zhao Yuru and signaled her to avoid it.
"Miss Yuru is not an outsider."
Lu Jiuzhang coughed twice.
These two women are fighting each other, which is not a good thing.
"That won't work either. It's a confidential matter and it's impossible to tell outsiders."
The woman in red said arrogantly.
"Okay, you guys talk first while I look around."
Director Zhao walked outside.
In front of the door, only Lu Jiuzhang and the woman in red were left.
Seeing that there was no one around, the woman in red said, "There may be changes during this period, and people from the sect are ready to take action. Whether it is Shenwu Sect or Zhongnan Temple, there are strong people who plan to test the Zhou Dynasty."
"Even in Baihua Valley, there are some elders in the valley who want to take action."
"Among the three sects, Baihua Valley has the closest relationship with the Great Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Yongwen's mother was a disciple of Baihua Valley and was a saint of that era."
Emperor Yongwen’s mother?
After all, she is still Xinti's grandmother.
"In recent years, Baihua Valley has sent many female disciples to the palace."
"The late Emperor Yongwen had two concubines who were also from Baihua Valley."
"But now that chaos has arisen, people from those sects may also want to take a piece of the pie in this chaotic world."
The woman in red said, "I have a hunch that when the fog appears, the rule of the Zhou Dynasty will inevitably fall apart."
Of course, this is just a hunch.
The specific development of the matter is not something she can control, nor can Baihuagu control it.
The strength of Baihua Valley is at best similar to that of some aristocratic families, or slightly stronger than those aristocratic families.
Come to think of it, Shenwu Sect and Zhongnan Temple should be similar.
But no matter how powerful they are, they can only be ruled by the Great Zhou Dynasty. They are a major force under the jurisdiction of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty was unstable, these people would of course rise up and find ways to overthrow the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty and expand their sphere of influence.
"This matter has nothing to do with me. I am just the director of a small county-city demon-slaying department." Lu Jiuzhang sighed.
In this Beilu County city, Lu Jiuzhang is considered a big shot.
But in Jingzhao Mansion, such an official position cannot even go to the morning court.
In the entire Beilu County, the only one who can attract the attention of those big shots is the position of County Sheriff.
Controlling a county has considerable authority.
They can even mobilize large numbers of soldiers in the county.
There are more than 10,000 armored soldiers in the entire Beilu County. The main role of these armored soldiers is to guard the county.
If the prefectures and counties are included, there are almost more than 20,000 people.
These are just the permanent soldiers.
The thirty-six counties of the Great Zhou Dynasty, combined together, amounted to nearly a million troops.
If this force can be integrated, it can definitely expand the territory and pose a threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Of course, it's just a threat.
Integrating these thirty-six counties is very difficult, no less than a first-level martial arts breakthrough!
The new emperor controls more soldiers.
There are also troops stationed in each county, at the disposal of the new emperor, to prevent chaos in each county.
These garrisons were larger, ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 to as many as 100,000. They adopted a garrison system, producing while garrisoning troops, and were self-sufficient.
Thirty-six counties are tightly controlled.
"The chaos is coming, how can it be irrelevant?" the woman in red said, "You are very powerful, you can join our Baihua Valley."
"Don't Baihua Valley not accept male disciples?"
Lu Jiuzhang smiled.
It was full of women. If you really went there, it would be like falling into a sea of flowers.
"This is the rule, but Baihua Valley will also recruit some guest elders. Quite a few of them are male warriors, and they are quite powerful." The woman in red smiled, "After joining Baihua Valley, at least you will be under the protection of Baihua Valley."
"The forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty were so complicated that even your teacher was not willing to get involved in these disputes at first."
"I heard that he was forced by the new emperor to serve in the Overwatch Council as a last resort."
Both the third grade of Confucianism and Taoism and the second grade of Confucianism and Taoism can be called great Confucians.
Master Xu's strength should be at the second level of Confucianism and Taoism.
To be honest, a second-grade Confucian scholar is simply not good enough in a time of great chaos.
If there is no first-grade strong person in charge, it will be like duckweed.
"What you said actually makes me moved." Lu Jiuzhang smiled, "If you really plan to go, I will tell you."
Lu Jiuzhang exposed the matter.
We’ll talk about what happens next.
The time of great chaos is coming, isn’t it not yet here?
What if I go to Baihua Valley?
Even guest elders must be bound by the rules of Baihua Valley.
It may not be better than the Demon Slayer Division!
…
After chatting with the woman in red, Lu Jiuzhang and Zhao Yuru walked around the Demon Slayer Division.
Along the way, Lu Jiuzhang's thoughts were not focused on this.
Black mist appears, and the world of ruins emerges.
At the same time, monsters in the south are invading, and the sects under their jurisdiction are not honest.
The new emperor who has just ascended the throne may have a headache.
