Chapter 1271 Conferring the title of Dragon King of the South China Sea
Under Qin Shaoyou's arrangement, a simple altar was built in the Demon Suppression Department.
At the same time, a group of editors and editors dressed in brocade clothes appeared outside Haizhou City.
The leader was a fair-faced eunuch with a feminine temperament.
The newly appointed director of the editorial office, Wei Bao, wanted to adopt a godson because he was unable to have children due to his lack of sex.
This eunuch was one of Wei Bao's godsons. His name was Xu Chun. He was cunning and ruthless, and his spiritual practice was not shallow. Together with Wei Bao's other godsons, he was called the Thirteen Eunuchs.
After Wei Bao moved into the editing factory, Xu Chun also followed him to the editing factory.
Originally, Wei Bao wanted his godson to cause a bloody storm in the editorial office, so as to help him eliminate dissidents and consolidate his power.
However, Emperor Jianwu's order to recall Qin Shaoyou was urgent. Wei Bao did not dare to neglect, let alone make the slightest mistake, so he sent Xu Chun, a close confidant, to lead the team to prevent any mistakes.
Glancing at the crowded Haizhou City, Xu Chun asked, "Are you sure Qin Shaoyou is in Haizhou City?"
"Sure."
A stall behind him heard the inquiry and hurriedly rode forward and bowed to answer.
"Going back to my father-in-law, according to reports from our informants in Haizhou, Qin Shaoyou and his party arrived in this city a few days ago and stayed in the town of Yaosi in the city. In the past few days, they have been going out to the market every day.
Shop for exotic goods.”
Xu Chun snorted coldly: "This Qin Shaoyou went out on an errand under orders. He didn't want to finish the errand quickly, but he was living happily in this place. Is this how the people from the Demon Suppression Department investigated? When I get back to the capital, I
I have to report him to the Long Live Lord!"
The waiter was a little worried: "Eunuch, this boy named Qin has been a popular person in front of Long Live Master recently... I'm afraid it won't be easy to file a lawsuit against him."
Xu Chun sneered and said: "So what about the celebrities? I have been serving Long Live Lord for more than ten years, and I have seen many people who became very popular in front of Long Live Lord. But in the end, these celebrities either stumbled into jail or died.
In the heart of Long Live Lord, those of us who have served you for a long time and are loyal are the real ones."
After hearing Xu Chun's words, Stall and Fanzi didn't understand. It was a hint that they should stand in line and follow the right person.
These stall owners and fans quickly swore to the sky and the earth that they would follow Xu Chun and work hard.
However, Xu Chun kept a straight face, making it impossible to tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied. He just raised his hand and whipped the horse on the butt, and rode it straight towards the city gate without any intention of slowing down.
No.
Seeing this, the stall owner hurriedly called his subordinate Fanzi to follow him.
They were galloping on horseback, but the people queuing up outside the city gate, waiting to enter the city, were frightened and they hurriedly scattered away.
When a guard guarding the city gate saw this, he originally wanted to stop the group of editors and sounded the gong, but he was grabbed by the chief.
The chief dragged him and hid near the city gate. He waited until the people from the editing factory flew by and then scolded him:
"What are you doing? Don't you want to die? Didn't you see the brocade robes these people are wearing? They are the editors of the editing factory! In a place like the capital, they all walk sideways. How many lives do you have, how dare you stop them?
?”
After a pause, he asked curiously: "If the boss of the editing factory is not harming the dignitaries in the capital, what is he doing in Haizhou City?"
The city gate guard who was held by him spat as he looked at the fans of the editing factory who were going away: "All the fans in the editing factory are crabs? They like to walk sideways? They are so arrogant, they are not afraid of being provoked.
Those who cannot be messed with will be punished with a beating?"
The chief rapped him on the head and reprimanded: "Keep your voice down, if these idiots hear it, we will all suffer. The editor is your majesty's confidant and the sword in your majesty's hand. Who dares to deal with them?"
However, what the city gate guards didn't know was that this group of editors were really punished not long after they entered the city.
After Xu Chun and others entered the city, they still did not dismount and walk, and continued to rush towards the Demon Suppression Division.
Pedestrians on the streets along the way were frightened by them and fled in panic.
But just when they were about to arrive at the Demon Suppression Division, they were stopped by a man whose whole body was covered in robes.
"Get away!"
This group of people in the editorial office are used to being arrogant, especially along the way. When local officials saw them, they all looked cautious, which only further fueled their arrogance.
At this moment, when they saw someone dared to stop them in Haizhou City, they were immediately furious.
Especially the stall owners and fans were eager to show off in front of Xu Chun. While shouting loudly, they not only did not rein in their horses, but also accelerated their speed and rushed towards the man, intending to trample him under the horse.
Facing the editor who came at a rapid speed, the man did not dodge and directly bumped into him.
With a "boom", the war horse was knocked directly to the ground, but this man was completely fine. Only his robe was torn, revealing his true appearance hidden under the robe.
But it's not a human being, but a half-human, half-turtle monster.
Relying on its strong turtle shell, this turtle demon didn't even pay attention to the galloping war horses.
When Xu Chun saw this, he raised his eyebrows. Just as he was waiting for the order to surround and kill this turtle demon who didn't know the heights of the sky, a large group of people suddenly surrounded him.
With the Turtle Demon's lesson learned, everyone in the editorial office took a closer look and found that the people surrounding them were also not humans, but a group of shrimps, crabs, and sharks.
It is not uncommon for monsters to exist in the city, but this group of sea monsters is obviously coming with bad intentions, and judging from their strength, they are not weak at all!
Seeing this, everyone in the editing factory hurriedly surrounded Xu Chun and yelled: "What are you going to do? We are from the editing factory, do you want to rebel?"
The turtle demon looked at them for a few times, with disdain on his face, and said in a cold voice: "Master Qin has an order. No one can approach the Demon Suppression Department at this moment without his permission! No matter who you are or what you have to do, please wait for this period of time.
Come back later."
When Xu Chun heard Qin Shaoyou's name, he raised his eyebrows and asked: "This Lord Qin you are talking about, is Qin Shaoyou from the Demon Suppression Department and Qin Qianhu? We are here to look for him. What is he doing? Why do you want to come?
Road closure?”
"What are you people from the editorial office doing here to find my lord? Could it be that you want to seek revenge?"
Before the turtle demon opened his mouth, a strange voice came from behind the shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Xiucai walked out from the pile of seafood, holding the knife, and scanned Xu Chun and others with squinted eyes, as if looking for the place to cut the knife.
"Zhu Baihu."
Xu Chun had obviously done his homework along the way and recognized Zhu Xiucai. He quickly took out his identity certificate and gave it to Zhu Xiucai for inspection. At the same time, he said: "We are here to summon Qin Qianhu according to the order of Lord Long Live."
Returning to Beijing..."
Zhu Xiucai had known their purpose for a long time, but he still pretended to be surprised.
"My lord came to Jiangnan on an order to carry out an investigation. We haven't found any clues yet, so why are we being recalled to Beijing? What about this case? Are we still investigating?"
Xu Chun carefully observed his expression, but did not see any flaws.
It seems that Zhu Xiucai is more cunning than him.
Xu Chun replied: "Something happened in Beijing. Don't worry about the case you are currently investigating. We will arrange for others to continue the investigation. Where is Qin Qianhu? Where are they? Follow us back to Beijing quickly. Long live the wait.
I will take him back as I have other urgent errands to arrange."
"My master is currently in the Demon Suppression Department, conferring the title of Dragon King of the South China Sea on behalf of heaven and earth..."
Before Zhu Xiucai finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Chun, who looked shocked.
"To confer the title of Dragon King of the South China Sea? Is this... Qin Qianhu conferring the title of god?"
"That's right." Zhu Xiucai nodded, "You are from the editing factory, haven't you heard that my lord has the ability to become a god?"
"I have heard about it, but I have never seen it with my own eyes..." When Xu Chun said this, he became energetic and asked quickly: "Zhu Baihu, can we go and watch?"
Zhu Xiucai said in his heart that this ceremony of conferring gods was originally held for you, but he pretended to be embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he said:
"You are the imperial envoys who came under the decree of Lord Long Live. Naturally, you can go to the Demon Suppression Department to observe the Dragon King of South China Sea's ceremony of conferring gods. However, you must keep quiet and do not make any noise during the process of conferring gods. Otherwise, you will damage the Dragon King of Hainan.
If we adults can let you go in this important matter of becoming a god, the Dragon King of South China Sea will not let you go either."
"I understand, I understand." Xu Chun nodded repeatedly, hurriedly dismounted, left Fan Zi here, and walked into Haizhou Demon Town Division with only two stalls.
As for the story about the horse being knocked down and him falling off the horse and getting injured, he didn't even look at it.
In the yard of the Demon Suppression Division, Qin Shaoyou kept turning on [Bian Ting], listening to what was going on outside.
Knowing that people from the editorial office were coming, he held the essay written by Zhu Xiucai in his hand and recited loudly:
"Today there is Ao Chou, the dragon of the South China Sea. He is dedicated to good deeds, upholds the right path, protects the health of living beings, and has the appearance of a dragon god... He plays a special song to invite heaven and earth to confer Ao Chou as the Dragon King of the South China Sea!"
Ao Chou glanced at Qin Shaoyou, and then at Xu Chun and the others who had just ran in. His eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
