Six hundred and sixty-five counties and tens of thousands of villages and towns.
Zhang Heng also had a headache when he thought about it, because there are so many places where people are needed everywhere.
And it can't be an ordinary person. The Huangtu Realm is a supernatural world, and without some strength, it is impossible to control the situation.
Right now is the most embarrassing time.
Even if we count the newly joined overseas Taoist sects, there are still less than two thousand people with cultivation level.
Assuming that there is a chief in a state, a chief in a county, and a chief in a county, that is more than 700 people.
You can't just set up one person. You can't ask the hall master and helmsman to come forward if something goes wrong. The following preachers and Taoist protectors are also indispensable.
Where do people come from?
Zhang Heng was a little worried. The training mechanism of the Taoist sect determined that without twenty or thirty years of hard work, it would not be enough to cultivate a group of hardcore Taoists.
There were quite a few ghost masters and surrendered ghosts.
But these people are not from my race, so Zhang Heng is not very trustworthy.
night
After going around, Zhang Heng received a dozen smart people.
Zhang Heng did not treat these people who surrendered badly. In the Thirteen Prefectures, similar to Sifang County and Qingshui County, there were many cases where ghost kings secretly surrendered and became the guardian ghosts of Maoshan Mountain.
There is basically no danger in preaching in these places.
Of course, except for Xiao Yaguang, Zhang Heng did not confer the title of hall leader at the county level, but was given the title of helmsman at the county or township level.
Even Xiao Yaguang's strength in the early stage of returning to the void is not enough to be a county-level hall master. If he wants to secure a position in a county, he must have the strength in the late stage of returning to the void, otherwise it will be difficult to conquer the local ghost masters.
Xiao Yaguang, it's a good time to catch up and buy horse bones with a lot of money.
A few days later.
"Senior brother, urgent call from the north."
"The Yaoguang Ghost Emperor declared martial law in Yaoguang Prefecture and ordered that all Maoshan caravans and doctors in Yaoguang Prefecture be evacuated within seven days, and we are no longer welcome to enter."
Bad news always follows good news.
Zhang Heng was still happy with Xiao Yaguang's knowledge of current affairs a few days ago. In just a few days, Yaoguang Ghost Emperor poured cold water on him.
"Fluttering light!"
The smile disappeared from Zhang Heng's face.
The Yaoguang Ghost Emperor was the first person to stand up and openly want to challenge them in the ring.
In other states, other Sanxian Ghost Emperors, even if they did not show any goodwill, would at most obstruct it privately, or even just ignore it as if nothing happened.
To make a public statement, Fluctlight is the first one to pierce this layer of window paper.
"Okay, that's great!"
"I was sighing before, how can the world rise and fall without the lack of martyrs?"
"Look, isn't this coming!"
Zhang Heng threw the telegram on the table: "Emperor Yaoguang Ghost, you are so brave!"
Xiaoyue stood aside and said tentatively: "Senior brother, if the Yaoguang Ghost Emperor steps forward now, I'm afraid he is not the only one behind him. If no one supports him, how can he have such confidence?"
Zhang Heng nodded: "The ghost emperors of the seven northern states all have ambiguous attitudes. It is possible that they have the idea of confronting the north and the south and dividing the states to govern. If this is true, there are at least three more ghost emperors behind Yaoguang.
Five ghost emperors are the right ones."
Three or five Ghost Emperors are basically the limit, and there should be no more.
After all, some ghost emperors in the south have already expressed their intention to fall over to them.
In addition, there are some outsiders who act according to the situation and help whoever has the upper hand. Among the thirteen states and thirteen ghost emperors, not many really dare to stand up and resist, and most of them just muddle along.
"Send a report and contact the various ghost kings who have turned against us, as well as the Ghost Controllers Alliance."
"Let them find out who is behind the Yaoguang Ghost Emperor and what his intentions are!"
Zhang Heng gave instructions directly to Xiaoyue.
Xiaoyue nodded in agreement and asked: "Do you want to evacuate our people from Yaoguangzhou?"
"Withdraw everything on the surface. It's not time to break up yet."
"The Fluttering Light Ghost Emperor just wants to drive him away. He doesn't dare to kill him. He obviously has concerns. It's better not to push too hard."
Zhang Heng thought for a while and then said: "Ask Yuan Shixian to come see me."
After a while.
Yuan Shixian came to Zhang Heng's attic.
"I have arranged positions for many of your brothers and sisters in the past few days, but I have not made any arrangements for you. Have you ever thought about why?"
Zhang Heng sat on a chair and looked at Yuan Shixian who came in.
silence.
Yuan Shixian said nothing, his eyes full of defiance.
Zhang Heng smiled when he saw this: "Three heroes and two heroes, with you as the leader. As the saying goes, it is just used on the edge of the knife. Naturally, you cannot use this trump card lightly."
With that said, Zhang Heng stood up from his chair and came to the map of Huang Tujie: "This is Yaoguangzhou, located in the northeast of Huangtujie. Just now, Yaoguang Ghost Emperor announced that our Maoshan Road is limited to
Within seven days, all members will be removed from Yaoguang Prefecture."
There was a slight pause in his tone, and his eyes fell on Yuan Shixian: "I suspect that this is not just the idea of Yaoguang Ghost Emperor alone, but there are others hidden behind him, so I want to send you to be an undercover agent next to Yaoguang Ghost Emperor to see
Look, besides him, who else is secretly against me, Maoshan, do you dare to go?"
Yuan Shixian frowned slightly: "If I go, will the Yaoguang Ghost Emperor believe it?"
"Why don't you believe it? Who stipulates that Taoist disciples cannot be traitors? Whether you believe it or not depends on whether you can act."
Zhang Heng clenched his fist fiercely, and electric light gathered in his hand. Then he suddenly punched Yuan Shixian on the chest.
Yuan Shixian was still thinking about the pros and cons of this trip and took no precautions at all.
This time, he was punched in the chest, and his whole body flew backwards, hit a stone pillar, and vomited out a mouthful of blood.
"you"
Yuan Shixian looked in disbelief.
Zhang Heng didn't wait for him to continue, then interrupted: "About your information, it is not a secret that I want to come to the Yaoguang Ghost Emperor. You left with a serious injury. I am jealous of the virtuous and can't tolerate you in my eyes. I want to come to the Yaoguang Ghost Emperor."
The emperor will trust you three points, and the rest depends on your acting skills."
Yuan Shixian looked at each other angrily, wanting to pounce on Zhang Heng and bite Zhang Heng's ear.
But he held it back because he saw Elder Huaigu standing aside and looking at him coldly. If he dared to take action, he would probably be killed on the spot in the next moment.
"You can go with peace of mind. After you leave, I will announce to the public that you have defected, and then I will put on a whole show and put all your family members in prison."
"Don't worry, they will live a comfortable life in prison and no one will make things difficult for them."
"In addition, if your friend Zhou Qing comes to plead for you, I will also take him into custody and make a face of wanting to kill you."
"In this case, it will be logical for you to seek refuge with the Yaoguang Ghost Emperor, and he will trust you even more."
Zhang Heng looked at Yuan Shixian with an apologetic look: "Junior Brother Shixian, I will wrong you this time."
Yuan Shixian hated his toothache, and gritted his teeth and said: "Serve the Taoist sect, even if I die, I will not be wronged!"
Zhang Heng nodded: "Then go. Don't be secretive on the way back. Let everyone know that I arrange positions for others, but I won't arrange them for you. I want you to surrender, and you are not willing to surrender.
I came to argue with you about my position. After a few words, I, a jealous and capable villain, got angry and beat you up."
"Even after you were injured, you still refused to give in, and you had no way to sue. Therefore, you decided to go to Yaoguang Ghost Emperor out of anger."
After speaking, Zhang Heng asked Yuan Shixian, "How does this script sound?"
Yuan Shixian clenched his hands into fists with his veins exposed: "Wonderful!"
The corners of Zhang Heng's mouth turned up, and he held the electric light with both hands: "Go!"
boom!!
Lightning Thunder Fist, the punch is like lightning.
Yuan Shixian raised his hand to parry, but was still thrown away by the electric bullet and fell heavily into the courtyard.
puff!
Due to internal injuries, Yuan Shixian vomited out another mouthful of blood.
He struggled to get up, looked up at Zhang Heng's attic, and staggered away like a wounded lone wolf, clutching his chest.
"Little Yuanzi is proud and arrogant. I'm afraid he will hold a grudge when he leaves!"
Elder Huaigu said softly.
"Then what?"
Zhang Heng asked back.
Elder Nostalgia was speechless and unable to answer.
Yuan Shixian's departure has only three consequences.
First, he was discovered by the Fluttering Light Ghost Emperor and imprisoned under the Ice Prison.
Second, surrender to the ghosts and become their lackeys.
Third, deceive the Yaoguang Ghost Emperor, gain his trust, and really deliver some valuable information back.
No matter which of these three possibilities it is, Zhang Heng is happy to see it come to fruition.
What can Yuan Shixian do if he has a grudge? Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi are not something he would like to say.
"Pity."
Elder Huaigu sighed.
After becoming an undercover agent for the ghosts, no one would feel any separation in their hearts when they came back.
It is foreseeable that even if Yuan Shixian makes great achievements in the future, he will not be able to become Maoshan's core disciple again.
Because being an undercover agent is not about treating guests to dinner.
The Yaoguang Ghost Emperor is not a fool. In order to test Yuan Shixian's loyalty, he will definitely make him do something that would renounce Taoism.
These things, whether voluntary or forced, will be remembered on Yuan Shixian's head.
Throughout the ages, few undercover agents have had a good ending.
“When heaven entrusts a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, and starve his body and skin.”
Zhang Heng looked out the window: "If you want to be embarrassed in front of others, you have to suffer behind the scenes. I am helping him sharpen his will. Believe it or not, if he comes back one day, the first thing he will do is come and thank me."
There was a slight pause in his tone: "But I don't look forward to that day, that day will be very boring."
Elder Huaigu glanced at Zhang Heng.
Although in terms of strength, he could stab Zhang Heng to death with one finger, but for some reason, when he met Zhang Heng's gaze, he subconsciously dodged it.
