It's 9 o'clock on the sixth day of February.

There are no clouds in the sky and the sun is shining.

Three miles outside Qingping County, in the backyard of the Shi family.

Shi Zhongyu, wearing a thin robe, walked side by side with the county magistrate Su Yuan, and came to a newly reclaimed open space next to the Zhuxi River. Here, there was a gourd seedling that had just broken ground.

The seedlings are still very weak, the buds are thin and thin, and the veins on the leaves can be clearly seen, but they are extremely magical. Under the sunlight, the leaf buds emit a hazy green halo, and the breeze blows, and the leaf buds sway, as if they are about to shed a green light rain!

"It was so magical when it was young. When it grows up, it will definitely be extraordinary!" Su Yuan's eyes were shining, wishing that the gourd seedlings could be born immediately.

"Out of dozens of gourd seeds, this one survived, alas!" Shi Zhongyu looked at Su Yuan and hesitated to speak.

"Is your father-in-law worried?" Su Yuan asked with a smile.

Calling him here early in the morning, he knew it was more than just watching the gourd seedlings.

"My dear son-in-law doesn't know. When I got this gourd seed, many people knew about it. Hey, it's my fault." Shi Zhongyu said with a bitter face, "I received a flying pigeon letter from the county governor this morning.

He said he would visit me in the near future. I thought he was here for the gourd seeds, but the seeds are all dead, and it’s just this seedling. My dear son-in-law, what do you think I should do?"

Su Yuan smiled and said: "What do I mean, father-in-law, this matter is simple!"

"Please ask my virtuous son-in-law to teach me!" Shi Zhongyu was overjoyed.

"When there is a martial arts competition at noon, the backyard of the county government office must be empty. All your father-in-law needs to do is send someone to deliver a bag of gourd seeds and hide them carefully. When Shao Yin arrives, you tell him that the gourd seeds were taken away by Magistrate Li." Su Yuan

He smiled reservedly and said, "If anything happens then, Magistrate Li will naturally be responsible for it."

"This is a wonderful plan!" Shi Zhongyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought of the martial arts competition an hour later and asked, "Xianxiang, will there be anything wrong in today's martial arts competition?"

"Of course not." Su Yuan said with a reserved smile, "To be honest with my father-in-law, I recited the great Confucian article last night and realized a secret technique. It is a small talk of great justice, and it can defeat the enemy without fighting."

"As expected of a virtuous son-in-law!" Shi Zhongyu handed over his hand.

"Uncle-in-law, it's getting late, we should prepare to go to the west of the city to show off." Su Yuan modestly changed the subject, showing a reserved smile.

…

Time passed quickly, and noon arrived.

Qingping County, the sunbathing field in the west of the city, the newly built arena looks like a giant turtle lying on its back, standing domineeringly in the center. All around, the angry people silently surrounded the arena, and the solemn atmosphere made the warm sunshine look cold and solemn.

Soon, a group of government servants, gentry, teachers, scholars and others headed by the county magistrate Su Yuan and the county lieutenant Qian Wanjun came to the scene.

The people spontaneously made way for a passage.

"Master Su, Master Qian, please!!"

"Whether we, the common people, can practice cultivation depends entirely on these two adults!"

"Please, sir, make the decision for us!!"

In the crowd, the stooges shouted sadly to stir up the atmosphere. Soon, the common people followed and asked the two adults to make the decision for them.

"The people's support can be used!" Su Yuan came to the wooden chair next to the ring and sat down. He had a very good official voice, and his lips were red and his teeth were white. After practicing the ethereal art of the natal heart, he had a layer of transcendental aura. At this moment

Sitting there quietly, bathing in the sunshine, like an immortal descending from the dust!

In the field, there were countless girls and women who looked sideways and screamed at Su Yuan.

"Huh, it's the same with or without them! In short, today we must let Li Mu know who is in charge of Qingping County!" Qian Wanjun sat next to him, with leopard eyes and a beard, fierce eyes, and an imposing manner.

Like a tiger and a wolf, it makes people feel frightened just by looking at it!

In the past few days, the spiritual energy has been recovering more and more, and the exotic flowers and plants in the mountains are shining frequently, which makes him unable to sleep at night, for fear that someone will pick them when he wakes up the next day!

At this moment, he just wants to deal with the county magistrate as soon as possible, and then embrace nature!

Behind the two people, two groups of government officials, four gentry families headed by Shi Zhongyu, teachers, students and others stood in five or six rows!

Shi Zhongyu thought that by this time, his men should have hidden the gourd seeds in the backyard of the county government office, and felt relieved.

Shi Gandang stood beside him, his eyes gleaming lustfully, looking for the target of dual cultivation in the crowd.

He originally had more than a dozen concubines in his house, some were petite and exquisite, some were charming, some were pure and lovely, and their skills in bed were even better. Unfortunately, under his domineering Huanxi Zen, all these more than ten rooms were taken by him.

Yincai is dead!

Seeing the delicate concubines dying in front of his eyes, Shi Gandang was also very distressed. However, dual cultivation was so good. It not only doubled his pleasure, but also allowed him to quickly gather spiritual power through yin harvesting!

He can't stop!

During this showdown battle, Shi Gandang saw so many people gathered and planned to choose a thirty-room concubine to go home and practice hard, not leaving home for a month!

He looked around the drying area and quickly focused on the beauties screaming for his brother-in-law.

"Not bad, they are all very good." Shi Gandang twitched his fingers and asked his men to remember the appearance of those young ladies, and when the competition is over, they will search for them one by one!

Amid the commotion, Li Mu and his entourage finally arrived belatedly.

When the people saw him, they did not dare to curse directly, but relying on the strength of the crowd, they actually blocked him and refused to give way to him.

Zhang Long and Zhang Hu had no choice but to lead the people to clear the way.

Li Mu was dressed in Tsing Yi, with his long hair tied in a Taoist knot, held in place with a finger-long wooden sword, with his hands behind his back, walking slowly. He was tall and straight, handsome and handsome, and the sun shone on his angular face, which was as gentle as

Jade.

There was a person following closely behind him, wearing men's clothes and wearing long hair, but his delicate and beautiful facial features could not be concealed. He also had a proud figure, a fair and slender neck, and crystal clear earlobes that looked like transparent jade in the sun. It was Han Qing who was disguised as a man.

Qian, she was holding a long sword in her hand. Li Mu asked the warehouse keeper Zhou Cang to dig it out from the warehouse.

The reason why Li Mu took her with him was because he was worried that the county magistrate and others would steal the house.

Be careful when sailing a ten thousand years old ship.

After Han Qingqian is Lin Yingjing. He is wearing a headhunting suit and holding a two-meter long spear. He is ordinary in appearance and thin in stature, but his eyes are sharp and can pierce people's hearts!

Liu Qi, Deng Yan, Wuzuo Song Dian, Ku Ding Zhou Cang, watchman Xu Tong, groom Yang Ma and others were divided into two teams, following Lin Yingjing.

When the battle came, none of these people escaped. Even Xu Tong, who had been on duty until the fifth watch, also came with him. This made Li Mu very happy.

"Sir..." Lin Youjing looked a little uneasy as he looked at the people boiling with resentment.

In order to prepare for today's martial arts competition, these days he was either practicing the Haoran Zhengqi Art or honing the Spear Art that he had learned from previous Chao poems. He rarely went out. By the time he became aware of the rumors outside, he was powerless.

"It doesn't matter, once the county magistrate and county magistrate are suppressed, the truth will be revealed." Li Mu said calmly.

He knew that the county magistrate and others were guiding people's public opinion in the past few days, but he was short of manpower. If he competed with the other party for public opinion, it would be a waste of time and energy, but it would not help.

He knew in his heart that if he lost this battle today, even if he gained public support, what would be the use?

Therefore, Li Mu has been practicing diligently these three days and does not dare to slack off at all!

Finally, Li Mu came to the ring and sat across the spacious ring with County Prime Minister Su Yuan and County Lieutenant Qian Wanjun.

Han Qingqian and Lin Youjing stood on two sides, with Zhang Long, Zhang Hu and others standing in a row behind them, while the rest of Minzhuang were behind, but they were unable to raise their heads due to the gazes of the people.

"Master Li, you promised to wait for me to have a big fight, but why are you late today?" Su Yuan spoke softly, with a smile on her face.

That smile, reserved.

"Guess." Li Mu smiled gently.

I guess?

What do I guess?

Su Yuan was puzzled, so he got straight to the point and said, "Since Lord Li proposed the contest and set the time and venue, we will naturally decide on the rules of the contest. Is this okay with Master Li?"

"There is a problem." Li Mu nodded.

"It's okay, I... what did Mr. Li just say?" Su Yuan was startled, her aloof temperament was slightly messy in the wind.

Li Mu smiled and pointed at the people outside, and laughed loudly: "The people all say that it was you, Mr. Su, who was not afraid of power, challenged me to a martial arts contest, and asked for life for the people. How come it came to your mouth, but it was me who proposed it?"

Martial arts competition? Could it be that you don’t allow the people to practice, and I ask for orders for the people and challenge you?"

"You!!" Su Yuan's smile froze, and the muscles at the corners of her eyes twitched slightly.

The people in the surrounding area looked at each other in confusion, and some were confused about the situation.

"What nonsense are you talking to him about? Just kill Lin Yingjing and others to see how long he can keep his words!" Qian Wanjun smiled grimly, "Zhao Tian, ​​go ahead!"

"Yes, sir!" Zhao Tian, ​​the head catcher, responded loudly, and a roc spread its wings and jumped ten meters away to the center of the ring.

"Lin Yingjing!!" Zhao Tian pulled out his long knife and pointed the blade directly at Lin Yingjing. He looked at the headhunting clothes on the other party and said sternly, "You are worthy of wearing this clothes? Get out of here and suffer.

die!"

Lin Yingjing stood on the left side of Li Mu, motionless.

"Are you scared? Hahahaha, you are as timid as a mouse!" Zhao Tianji tried his best to provoke him, "It's still too late to regret now. Kneel down, kowtow ten times, and call me grandpa three times. I will spare your life!"

"Lin's baby whale, rat!"

"Lin's baby whale, rat!"

Zhao Tian's confidants clenched their fists at the back to cheer him on, and they were very arrogant!

"You bastards, how dare you insult Brother Lin!" Zhang Long and Zhang Hu couldn't stand the grievance, so they rushed forward with their swords drawn.

Zhao Tian was not angry but happy. He made a fool of himself and rushed forward, one against two.
