A high mountain seemed to be split in the middle, splitting into the shape of a horse's mouth, and the Luoshui tributaries meandered through the valley bottom.
On the towering mountaintops on both sides, there was a person on each side, facing each other from a distance.
One is wearing heavy armor, with only a pair of eyes exposed through the gap in the face armor.
The other one stands tall, with black hair like a waterfall, wearing a long lavender skirt, looking up at the sky.
The former is Qianhu, Ge Wanshan, from the Qianhu Office of Zhanghua Prefecture.
The latter is the hall master of Taiping Road, Hua Nongyue.
The two have been confronting each other for a month.
For a whole month, Ge Wanshan did not dare to close his eyes.
And what about Hua Nongyue? It’s time to eat and drink, and it’s time to look at the stars.
He even went to the water at the bottom of the valley and took a few baths under the cover of a magic weapon... and he had to go to the river to guard it, just like a fucking servant.
Ge Wanshan was very depressed and tired, and wanted to lie down and take a nap, but he really didn't dare.
He is just a small Qianhu, but Hua Nongyue is the person in charge of Taiping Dao in the entire Yongzhou Province.
Although in the files, everyone is still at the tenth level of Tongmai, but the problem is... the files on the rebels will only be updated after it is clear that they have taken action.
No one has seen Hua Nongyue take action for many years. Who knows what state she is in now.
If it were not for the gift of this heavy armor from above, he would rather resign and return to his hometown...if approved.
‘Why haven’t the reinforcements from the imperial court come yet? I really want to sleep!’
Ge Wanshan complained feebly.
At this time, Hua Nongyue lowered her head and looked over, her red lips parted slightly: "Ge Wanshan, let me ask you again, are you willing to join me?"
"Sister Flower, Flower Fairy, Flower Goddess... I beg you, can you please stop mentioning this?"
Ge Wanshan smiled bitterly, "You should know the capabilities of the imperial court better than I do. Let me join Taiping Road, it is better to let me die."
There are no other people around, so he doesn’t have to worry too much about what he says, as long as he always maintains a correct stance.
In fact, Hua Nongyue had recruited him many times in the past month or so, and each time it was when he was relaxed.
Ge Wanshan guessed that Hua Nongyue must have some treasure that left a photo or voice. As long as he made a mistake, he would be blackmailed to give way.
It doesn’t matter if you give way when the time comes, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t give way.
The intentions are really vicious.
"Oh, you just joined me, but I don't want you to betray the imperial court."
Hua Nongyue smiled coldly, "What's more, haven't you already been connected with Wei Wuxie?"
"Can you use some other words?"
Ge Wanshan was mentally exhausted and said in great depression: "Thousand-faced Daoist Wei Wuxie, that is a person on the wanted list of our blood-clothed guards. The bounty is so huge that it cannot be increased. Let alone colluding with him, I will definitely catch him if I can find him."
In exchange for bounty."
Hua Nongyue wanted to say more, but Ge Wanshan suddenly raised his hand: "Stop, stop, stop! I know what you want to say about unblocking and unblocking."
"Please, I have a title, and I'm a noble person. And I'm only fifty-three years old. I'm still very young. I have a lot of opportunities to climb up the ladder. I don't need to use your Taiping Road tricks at all."
Good?"
"If you want to get past me, then defeat me with absolute strength. There is really no other way."
This rush to answer made Hua Nongyue choke up.
But her eyes wandered for a moment, and she immediately had a new idea: "I can tell you how to join the royal family. You must be interested in this, right?"
"..."
Ge Wanshan felt frightened and his mouth was dry.
Join the royal family?
Is there any other way to do this besides reincarnation?
...Could it be that there really is?
I have to say that his curiosity was really aroused, and it was extremely strong.
But he didn't dare to show it at all.
If anyone finds out, it will be over!
‘What?!’
‘You actually found out the secrets of the royal family from the rebels?’
‘Let’s go, let’s go to prison.’
Imprisonment...
This poisonous woman! She’s hurting my heart forever!
Thinking of the legendary imperial prison, even he, a member of Qianhu, a blood-clad guard, couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine.
Ge Wanshan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he knew very little about Hua Nongyue and could not talk back.
At this moment, a star suddenly lit up in the far distance on the horizon.
As soon as this star lit up, it dragged out a long tail and approached here in a straight line, arriving in a moment.
Their expressions changed and they recognized it at the same time.
"The decree of Taiping!!! How could the decree of Taiping be used?!"
Ge Wanshan was horrified.
The Taiping Edict is the exclusive property of Taiping Dao Master, similar to the imperial edict of the imperial court.
Although Taiping Dao Master is definitely not comparable to Emperor Qing, Hua Nongyue is just a hall leader. There are rudders, elders, and protectors at several levels above her. How can she be qualified to be directly issued a decree by Taiping Dao Master?! p>
Here they are still in shock, but over there Hua Nongyue has knelt down on one knee, folded her palms on her chest, and shouted: "Welcome to the Taoist Master!"
The stars fell to the edge of the cliff, and in mid-air they appeared as a man wearing a straw crown, shrouded in a dense white light.
"The water ghost reports urgently that Wei Wuxie killed Fu Yuanlong and lost contact with the Taoist attendant. It is very likely that the fragment of the Immortal Heaven has been found. You should return to the Yongzhou branch immediately and take full charge of this matter. No matter what, you must find Wei Wuxie.
Take it back to the main gate."
There was no blessing in Taiping Taoist's voice, he was precise and word for word.
"...Yes."
Hua Nongyue responded blankly.
Her thoughts have been completely confused in these few sentences.
Wei Wuxie... found the fragment of the Immortal Sky?
How is that possible?!
After looking for the water ghost for more than ten years, Wei Wuxie found it right after he went there?
Also in chaos like Hua Nongyue was Mount Gewan on another mountain.
Ge Wanshan didn't care that Fu Yuanlong was killed.
A small character will die if he dies.
What he cares about is Wei Wuxie!
Hua Nongyue is right. Ge Wanshan and Wei Wuxie have always maintained a secret relationship. They have reached many deals over the years and are considered old partners.
This time around the blockade of Zhanghua Mansion, as soon as the imperial decree came down, Wei Wuxie came to him and asked him to help reduce the number of blood-clothed guards sent to Canglong as much as possible.
The reward is extremely generous - information about all members of Taiping Dao in Zhanghua Mansion!
Including the water ghost who assassinated Mr. Fu four years ago!
Ge Wanshan agreed to the deal with Wei Wuxie without much hesitation.
He needs this list so much!
With this list, he can clean up the entire Zhanghua Mansion!
Especially that water ghost.
If he could be captured alive, the credit to the court alone would be enough to move his position up a notch, not to mention that the family behind the good-for-nothing Lord would have an even bigger reward.
Therefore, Ge Wanshan rejected all Fu Yuanlong's requests for help.
In addition to the personnel, war horses, and conventional supplies that were supposed to be allocated to hundreds of households, not a single elixir, precious phantom, or magic weapon was given.
The reason is simple.
The pressure is greater here in Fucheng and must be called at any time.
Therefore, Fu Yuanlong had no choice but to spend his own money to arm the team of 100 people.
But this has nothing to do with Ge Wanshan. He has already done what he promised Wei Wuxie.
In his imagination, as soon as the reinforcements from the two sides arrive and the people currently involved in the confrontation leave, he will go to Wei Wuxie and ask for compensation.
Yes, he didn't think Wei Wuxie could find the fragments of the Immortal Sky.
Even Wei Wuxie herself didn’t think so.
But what did Master Taiping just say?
Wei Wuxie found the fragment of the Immortal Heaven?!!!
And... he also killed Fu Yuanlong and his Taoist attendants, and escaped?
