Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 283: Deputy Director Peng

"Let's find a place to stay. I originally planned to go back to Shenwuzong, but..." Luo Fusheng glanced at the little fat Zhou Zheng, and then said, "I don't think it's appropriate."

Some time ago, Shenwu Zongcai had a conflict with the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty.

Luo Fusheng didn't want to get involved.

"It's better to improve your cultivation level as soon as possible."

The old man Luo Fusheng said slowly.

His lifespan is getting shorter and shorter, with every passing day one less day.

If there is no breakthrough, by this time next year, grass will probably start to grow on the graves.

"This is the purpose of my coming to the three southern counties." Lu Jiuzhang said solemnly.

Improve your own cultivation in troubled times.

There are a world of ruins all around, and there are no shortage of opportunities. It just depends on whether you can seize these opportunities.

"Who isn't?"

The little fat boy Zhou Zheng said, "I have to improve my cultivation quickly. I will be eighteen years old this year, and I will be crowned in two years."

Luo Fusheng was stunned. Are young people today so hardworking?

An old man who is about to die is not so anxious, right?

"I'm new here, let's find a place to have some fun first."

Luo Fusheng looked at the two people as he spoke, meaning to ask if Lu Jiuzhang and Zhou Zheng were going together.

"Is there still a place like this in Nanxiang County now?"

Lu Jiuzhang was surprised.

There are no merchants in the entire county, and everything is depressed.

"Isn't it over there?"

Luo Fusheng pointed into the distance.

There is still a brothel running there, but business is bleak.

"How can such a messy place still open?" Lu Jiuzhang was surprised, "Isn't this boss just greedy for money?"

"Whatever, as long as you can have some fun."

Luo Fusheng walked towards that direction.

"What about you?" Lu Jiuzhang looked at Zhou Zheng.

"I'm still young, so I won't go. I'll just go to bed early tonight."

Zhou Zheng shook his head.

"Well, it's not fully developed yet, so try not to go. Listen to big brother, he won't hurt you."

Lu Jiuzhang patted Zhou Zheng on the shoulder.

As for Zhou Zheng, he was stunned on the spot, always feeling that there was something wrong with Lu Jiuzhang's words.

Didn’t you just say that you wouldn’t go to such an occasion?

Why does Lu Jiuzhang still say this?

Could it be that you want to use this to educate yourself?

This big brother is really addicted!

Zhou Zheng glared at Lu Jiuzhang for a few times, then saw Lu Jiuzhang walking away, and hurriedly chased after him.



The next morning.

New Year's Day!

Lu Jiuzhang got up early in the morning and went straight to the office of the Demon Slayer Division.

It was a large courtyard, quite spacious inside, but unfortunately there were no people there.

After the boy informed him, Lu Jiuzhang walked in.

In the hall, Lu Jiuzhang met the deputy director of the general department.

He is an official of the third rank.

The director of the general department is the second grade, the same grade as the six ministers.

The deputy director looked to be in his fifties or sixties, but he was full of majesty and even vaguely surrounded by evil spirits.

"Meet the Deputy Director!"

Lu Jiuzhang cupped his hands and said.

Lu Jiuzhang didn't know much about this deputy director, but he heard that his name seemed to be Peng Kaiyuan.

"Lu Jiuzhang, right?"

Deputy Director Peng nodded, "I received the letter from the New Emperor half a month ago."

Deputy Director Peng still knew about what happened in Beilu County.

Many people thought that Lu Jiuzhang was about to receive a cold reception, and had even been sent to the southern border and would not be taken seriously.

But Director Peng knew in his heart that the relationship between Lu Jiuzhang and the new emperor was still very close.

Otherwise, why would the new emperor bother the new emperor to write the letter himself?

This matter can be determined in one sentence.

Moreover, the new emperor has not yet issued an imperial edict, which shows that the new emperor does not want to make a big splash.

This is interesting.

Could it be that this disciple of the great scholar Xu Master came to the three southern counties to supervise him?

Or do you have a special mission?

As a minister, you have to figure out what your superiors want.

There are some things that the new emperor did not say explicitly, but he had to do them.

But what exactly does Xintei mean?

"I'm sorry, Director Peng." Lu Jiuzhang said, "I've been delayed for a long time along the way. It's a long journey across several counties."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lu."

While talking to Lu Jiuzhang, Director Peng was thinking, "Master Lu, when he comes to serve in the three southern counties, what are your thoughts? For example, which department do you want to work in?"

"I have been in the three southern counties for a while, and I can still speak here. It is impossible for you to be the county governor. This kind of position needs to be decided by the new emperor, but you can go to the county governor's mansion to serve as a professional or something like that.

The position is still available."

Li Yong had previously served as Bo Cao.

Holding such a position in a county is a lucrative job and has great power.

"Director Peng has misunderstood. I don't want to work in the county governor's office. I would rather go to the battlefield to fight monsters." Lu Jiuzhang said solemnly.

If it was for comfort, Lu Jiuzhang would not come to Nanxiang County.

The Bo Cao here seems to be powerful, but the actual power is limited to the county.

Beyond the county town, Bo Cao could not help but take the initiative.

"A fighting battlefield?"

Deputy Director Peng murmured to himself, and tapped the table next to him with his right hand, making regular sounds.

"It's too dangerous to fight on the battlefield. If you don't want to, Master Lu can work here." Deputy Director Peng said, "I don't often stay here, but this is the hub of the three-county Demon Slayer Division and is extremely important."

"If Mr. Lu can come here to take up a position, he will undoubtedly better unify the forces of the three counties' demon-slaying departments, which will also help us fight against the monsters."

"This position may seem easy, but it is actually very complicated. If the demon slaying is completed, I will definitely report Lord Minglu's achievements to the new emperor."

Deputy Director Peng felt that the new emperor should have sent Lu Jiuzhang here to experience and accumulate some merits.

In this way, Lu Jiuzhang can be promoted quickly after returning to the Demon Slayer Division.

In fact, if I stay here, nothing will happen for a day.

But you can't speak directly, you have to be tactful, and make Lu Jiuzhang feel that this position must be of great use.

This is called speaking skills!

Deputy Director Peng started to feel proud.

Regardless of his ability, Lu Jiuzhang was taught by the great scholar Xu Shi, and he was favored by the new emperor.

There is no harm in selling Lu Jiuzhang for a little benefit.

Maybe we will have a good relationship!

"Director Peng has misunderstood. I want to go to the battlefield to fight monsters and improve my cultivation." Lu Jiuzhang said solemnly, "Of the three southern counties, may I ask Director Peng, which county has the most dangerous battlefield?"

"this……"

Director Peng was stunned.

Why is this different from what I thought?

Aren't they here for gold plating?

It doesn’t make sense!

"Director Lu, are you considering it?" Director Peng asked, "Not only is it dangerous on the battlefield, but the mortality rate is also very high. Sometimes we often don't even have a meal for three to five days."

"That place is so miserable! Not to mention you, many soldiers who are often stationed at the border are a little overwhelmed."
