Chapter 127: Things Are Too Little to Shake the National Destiny
"Brother Jiang, this cake is delicious, have you eaten it?"
"..."
"You have to eat cakes during the Double Ninth Festival. Oh, and by the way, there are also fried rice dumplings. This is a specialty of Baiyue."
"..."
Jiang Wuji was not a robber, and asking for Li Changfeng's black sword was just a joke. Of course, it could also be done deliberately to express resentment.
Seeing Li Changfeng's embarrassed look, Jiang Wuji changed his words and asked, "Is Murong Wanfeng's body still in Fengtiansi?"
Li Changfeng was stunned at first, and then looked like he was hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Jiang Wuji frowned, "What?"
"Brother Jiang, listen to me..."
After a long sigh, Li Changfeng said bravely: "Brother Jiang doesn't know the art of refining medicine, right? Refining the antidote is quite complicated. As the first person to be infected with the plague, Miss Murong's flesh, flesh and bones are extremely
important……"
Jiang Wuji frowned deeper and deeper, "Burned to ashes?"
"Brother Jiang, in order to save the hundreds of thousands of people in Leping, this girl Murong is willing to leave her body intact."
Hearing this, Jiang Wuji's face darkened, and the exquisite jade cup in his hand immediately turned into powder.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears wearing official uniform hurried towards the pavilion.
Before he even entered the pavilion, he bowed repeatedly.
"Lord Li! Sometimes we miss you from afar, but sometimes we miss you from afar!"
Seeing the governor of Nanyue County, Li Changfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then greeted him with a smile.
"Oh, Mr. Zheng, what are you talking about? Mr. Zheng is busy with official duties and has many things to do. This is the blessing of Nanyue County."
The Sheriff seemed to be growing sideways. He was only 1.5 meters tall, but he was very fat. He couldn't breathe after taking a few steps, as if he was about to die.
But his waist is covered with exquisite jade pendants, not to mention jade rings, and even the slightly exposed skirt is inlaid with gold rims.
The governor looked wealthy and powerful, but his first impression on Jiang Wuji was extremely bad.
Master Zheng said after taking a breath: "Master Li promoted the lower official, and the lower official did not do anything. He was just busy with the Double Ninth Festival."
As he said that, Master Zheng's eyes fell on Jiang Wuji, who was in a mess, "This is..."
"Oh, this Mr. Jiang is my colleague." Li Changfeng said with a smile.
Upon hearing that he was from Fengtiansi, Mr. Zheng's eyes that were a little disgusted at first turned into respect.
"My lower official, Zheng Xinghe, has met Mr. Jiang." Zheng Xinghe bowed and bowed.
Jiang Wuji glanced at Li Changfeng, and then responded perfunctorily.
Zheng Xinghe nodded with a smile and then looked at Li Changfeng again and said: "Master Li, the ceremony will start in a moment. Why don't you let me take the two of you to join in the fun?"
Zhu Yao, who heard the conversation, jumped out like a rabbit, "What is it? Is it fun?"
"It's fun, our Baiyue City is even more lively than the Chinese New Year!" Zheng Xinghe said.
"Is there anything delicious there?" Zhu Yao asked again, and Jiang Wuji even saw the saliva at the corner of her mouth.
Zheng Xinghe: "Hahaha, of course! Guys, it's not too late, let's..."
Before Zheng Xinghe could finish speaking, Jiang Wuji's voice suddenly sounded.
"Why don't we talk about business first?"
"Wha, what?" Zheng Xinghe didn't react for a moment.
Jiang Wuji: "Didn't I say that there are monsters from the Red Lotus Sect around here?"
Zhu Yao originally wanted to question Jiang Wuji, but upon hearing this, she immediately shut her little mouth.
"Oh...so that's what happened."
Zheng Xinghe pretended to ponder, and then smiled and said: "Having said that, we can't find the demon for a while. If that's the case, let's not miss this time, let's first..."
"Let's talk about business." Jiang Wuji interrupted Zheng Xinghe again, appearing very rude.
Zheng Xinghe showed a hint of displeasure on his face. In his opinion, Jiang Wuji was Li Changfeng's follower. Li Changfeng hadn't spoken yet, so why would a pawn interrupt him?
Just when Zheng Xing wanted to attack Li Changfeng's rebel general, Li Changfeng said: "Listen to him and talk about business first."
"This..." Zheng Xinghe's face turned red and he couldn't hold back a word.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng took a sip of tea and asked: "Is it true that there is no news at all, Mr. Zheng?"
Zheng Xinghe rubbed his greasy face in embarrassment and said, "I am laughing at you, but I really haven't received any news about the Red Lotus Sect here. If it weren't for Mr. Li sent by Fengtiansi,
Come here, I'm afraid I still don't know..."
"What is the city protection weapon used for?" Jiang Wuji asked.
Li Changfeng raised his eyebrows, as if he was surprised that Jiang Wuji knew about the city-protecting magic weapon.
As for Zheng Xinghe, he said solemnly: "It stands to reason that if there are monsters from the Red Lotus Sect entering the city, there should be some movement in the magic weapon, but the magic weapon has been very calm and there has been no abnormality at all.
"
"Is it possible that the demon has entered the city and the magic weapon to protect the city has no effect?" Jiang Wuji asked.
"impossible."
Li Changfeng took over the conversation and said: "The city-protecting magic weapon is closely related to the national destiny. Within the coverage of the city-protecting magic weapon, the demons of the Red Lotus Sect who want to shake the national destiny cannot hide."
It turns out that the magic weapon for protecting the city is related to the destiny of the country...
No wonder such a big disaster happened in Leping County. The county guards in charge of the magic weapon were all attracted by the Red Lotus Sect, so the city protection magic weapon would naturally become useless as Cao Li said.
What a keeper who steals...
Zheng Xinghe continued: "In addition, Xiaguan specially asked Han Jiangxue to guard the city gate, but she did not find the demon from the Red Lotus Sect."
"Han Jiangxue? Is that Han Jiangxue from Jiang Xue Hanqiang?" Li Changfeng asked.
Zheng Xinghe nodded and said, "Yes."
Jiang Wuji had already seen Han Jiangxue's criticism, but he just heard it and didn't pay attention.
"What are you talking about? Have these people been checked? Are there any demons mixed in?"
Zheng Xinghe shook his head and said: "It's impossible. The people who carry the great gods are all locals, and they have some reputation in the city. If they were demons from the Red Lotus Sect, the city would have been in chaos."
After a lengthy Q&A chat, the thread was broken.
The clue in Li Changfeng's hand was that when a fifth-grade warrior from Fengtian Division was chasing a demon in Jiangnan Road, he accidentally got the news that the Red Lotus Sect was going to Nanyue County.
Immediately afterwards, the spies arranged by Fengtiansi found traces of suspected demons from the Red Lotus Sect outside the city. However, the outside of the city was desolate. The spies also checked everywhere and found nothing strange.
As for the county governor Zheng Xinghe, he didn't know anything about it, but he was very sure that the demon had not entered the city. When he got excited, he even used his head to guarantee the matter.
In this way, the clues are broken, and there is even a suspicion that "the demon is just passing by."
Jiang Wuji thought about it over and over, but still couldn't come up with a reason.
At this time, Jiang Zhiyu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly tugged on the corner of Jiang Wuji's clothes and asked softly: "Brother, can I say a few words?"
Jiang Wuji raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's okay, just tell me."
Xiaoyu pursed her red lips and said: "I didn't think of anything. I just felt that what my brother and the two adults were talking about just now was where the demon was. But since the demon wants to hide his traces, he will naturally not be so easily caught.
Discover."
"Then if you think in this direction, it will definitely be fruitless."
After listening to Xiaoyu's words, Li Changfeng raised his eyebrows and said: "Tsk, one word woke up the dreamer, Miss Xiaoyu is really smart!"
"Wow Xiaoyu, you are so smart." Zhu Yao, holding Xiaoyu's arm, looked full of admiration.
The girl's cheeks turned red and she lowered her head and said, "I, I didn't say anything..."
Li Changfeng said seriously: "As Miss Xiaoyu said, we have just entered a dead end and need to change direction."
Jiang Wuji frowned and said, "What do the demons from the Red Lotus Sect want to do when they come to Baiyue City? Or what can they do?"
"How can we know this, but no matter what the Red Lotus Sect wants to do, its purpose is to shake the destiny of our country, Dali!" Zheng Xinghe said.
Li Changfeng curled his lips and said, "Master Zheng, you haven't said anything yet. Everyone knows the purpose of the Red Lotus Sect."
But at this time, Jiang Wuji, who was frowning, retorted to Li Changfeng, "No, what he said is very good."
Li Changfeng: "..."
Jiang Wuji said solemnly: "Since the purpose of the Red Lotus Sect is to shake the fate of the country, what we have to consider now is what we can do in Baiyue City right now to shake the fate of the country!"
Jiang Wuji's words gave Li Changfeng and Zheng Xinghe goosebumps.
What can they do in Baiyue City to shake up the fate of the country? Is this what they can think of?
After a while.
"Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and the people are celebrating... Is it possible that the Red Lotus Sect wants to ruin the grand event?" Zheng Xinghe expressed his thoughts while looking at the expressions of the two people.
Jiang Wuji shook his head: "It's too small, it's definitely not."
Zheng Xinghe's face twitched and he failed to catch this sentence.
Li Changfeng: "The city is overcrowded today. Even if the demon has not entered the city, we can still attack from a distance. By then, blood will flow into rivers and weeping will fill the fields."
Regarding Li Changfeng's guess, Jiang Wuji still shook his head, "There is a defense in the city. Even if the Red Lotus Sect uses long-range attacks, how many people can be killed? And didn't you say that the spies found nothing suspicious outside the city?"
Li Changfeng didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so he asked: "Does Brother Jiang have any ideas?"
Jiang Wuji pondered: "If I were a member of the Red Lotus Sect, either I would definitely find ways to create a large-scale disaster. Many, many people would die in this disaster, but I couldn't let everyone in the city die.
We have to leave some behind, but we have to make sure that the people left behind have resentment towards Dali, so that the destiny of Dali can be shaken."
Li Changfeng: "..."
Zheng Xinghe: "..."
Jiang Wuji looked at Zheng Xinghe, "Lifting up the great gods is just a process of celebrating the Double Ninth Festival. No matter how grand it is, the whole city can't come to see the great gods, right?"
"Besides, even if the Red Lotus Sect really wants to carry out a grand event, what if they kill thousands of people? If this can shake the national destiny, then the national destiny of Dali is too fragile."
"Brother Jiang, be careful what you say!"
"Master Jiang, be careful what you say!"
The two of them spoke almost in unison, and Zheng Xinghe was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and looked around for fear of being overheard.
Jiang Wuji curled his lips and asked Zheng Xinghe, "Think about anything else recently that directly affects the whole city."
"this……"
After pondering for a moment, Zheng Xinghe suddenly patted the table and said, "It really does exist!"
