The residence of Shan Zhongming, a first-rank official and the head of the Shenji Division, is much larger than the Marquis Palace of Xu Zhiqiong.
After walking through the front yard and walking to the main courtyard, Xu Zhiqiong took Han Di to the main hall. After drinking a cup of tea, the housekeeper Shan Yongping asked: "Sir, where will Miss Lu Qiaoer rest tonight?"
Xu Zhiqiong said casually: "Let's rest in the bedroom."
"Bedroom?" Shan Yongping looked embarrassed, "I'm afraid the bedroom is inappropriate. Madam's side..."
Only then did Xu Zhiqiong remember that Shan Zhongming had a legal wife.
Naturally, the head wife lives in the bedroom. Qian Chengguo must also pay attention to being well-matched. With Shan Zhongming's status, the status of the head wife must be unusual. It is obviously inappropriate to just bring a woman to live in it.
Xu Zhiqiong cleared his throat and said: "You also know that the bedroom is not suitable and where to live. Why do you still need to ask me about such a thing?"
Seeing that the master was not in a good mood, the housekeeper quickly responded: "I will deal with it myself."
Shan Yongping returned as soon as he left: "Sir, let's rest in the East Crossing Courtyard tonight."
Xu Zhiqiong nodded, took Han Di, and followed the housekeeper to Dongkua Courtyard.
The residence of the chief minister was so big that it took a cup of tea to walk from the main courtyard to the east courtyard. Xu Zhiqiong was really worried that he would get lost if he went alone.
When we arrived at the east courtyard, there were three main rooms, a carved tower, a pond, four side rooms, and two concierges.
The two lived in the main house, and were served by six servants and six maids in the courtyard.
The bed had already been made and the charcoal stove was lit. Two maids were waiting beside the bed. Han Di blushed and said, "Sir, let's have a rest."
Xu Zhiqiong looked at the two maids: "You go out first."
The maids looked at each other, not understanding what the master meant.
Their duty is to wait on the master to do things, and at critical moments, they can step forward to help.
Han Di said sternly: "Didn't you hear my instructions? Get out quickly!"
The new lady had a bit of a temper, so the two maids hurriedly left the bedroom.
Han Di lowered his voice and said: "I think the two of them haven't gone far yet. If senior brother doesn't do anything, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Han Di and said, "What do you want to do, junior sister?"
Han Di lowered his head and said: "My whole body belongs to my senior brother. Whatever my senior brother says, I will do it."
"Seriously?"
Han Di blushed and said, "All you will do is follow your senior brother's orders."
Xu Zhiqiong untied his clothes, and Han Di buried his head deeper: "Brother, are you so impatient?"
"There's no rush, we have to hurry up on this matter." Xu Zhiqiong quickly took off his shirt.
His face was full of shyness, but Han Di was secretly proud.
This guy is always joking, but after all, he is still thinking about my body just like he did in the academy.
After all, it was good to give it to him. After this night, it is still difficult to predict who will be his wife and who will be his concubine in the future.
That idiot Yang Wu doesn't understand pity. From now on, I can be considered his master. No matter how greedy he is, don't even think about touching me again.
Han Di took a sneak peek at Xu Zhiqiong and found that Xu Zhiqiong had only taken off his outer shirt, not his shirt.
He used a magic circle, summoned a flesh and blood puppet, attached a beard, put clothes on the puppet, and used some illusions to make the puppet look like Shan Zhongming: "You accompany him to sleep."
"I'll accompany him..."
"Sleep properly and don't arouse suspicion."
"How can we behave like him?"
Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "You still need me to teach you? Be gentle and don't damage it."
After saying that, Xu Zhiqiong went to Zhonglang Courtyard carrying Shan Zhongming's crime.
Arriving at the Zhonglang Courtyard, Xu Zhiqiong released Shan Zhongming's soul.
When Shan Zhongming saw Xu Zhiqiong, he looked at him for a moment and was so frightened that he trembled all over.
Why does this person look exactly like me?
After Xu Zhiqiong took off his makeup, Shan Zhongming looked at it for a while and shouted: "You are the lucky prince of Xuan Kingdom, Xu Zhiqiong!"
On the day Xu Zhiqiong arrived at the Divine Lord's Hall, Shan Zhongming was also among the ministers, and he had met Xu Zhiqiong.
"Sir Shan, I'm sorry. Xu invited you here today because he has something to ask you." As he spoke, Xu Zhiqiong lit a fire, set up the ghost cauldron, and began to heat the oil pot.
Shan Zhongming suddenly stood up and ran away.
This guy's martial arts skills are quite good, no wonder he is quite confident in front of Han Di.
Xu Zhiqiong slowly added firewood, and when he escaped to the Chuihua Gate, he stepped forward, grabbed him, and pushed him into the oil pan.
Shan Zhongming shouted in a hiss: "You foreign thief, you are so arrogant. You dare to harm me. I will report it to the Lord God, but I will use weapons. I will kill you and other thieves now. I will use weapons in the future, but you will not be able to use weapons."
I want to crush your Xuan Kingdom to the ground..."
The oil pan hasn't boiled yet, so Shan Zhongming still has a lot to say.
Xu Zhiqiong picked up a firewood stick with charcoal fire and stuffed it into Shan Zhongming's mouth.
In severe pain, Shan Zhongming fell into the oil pan and after a meal of frying, Xu Zhiqiong took a hook and fished him out.
Shan Zhongming, who was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, lay on the ground, trembling and wailing.
Xu Zhiqiong picked up another piece of firewood, and Shan Zhongming immediately became quiet.
"Master Shan, I only want to ask you a few things. You must tell the truth. If I hear half a lie, you will have to fry it in the oil pan for several hours."
Shan Zhongming shouted: "You are the judge!"
Xu Zhiqiong stuck the stick under Shan Zhongming's waist: "I am the judge, what else do you want to ask?"
Shan Zhongming was rolling back and forth on the ground in pain. Xu Zhiqiong pulled out the firewood stick and asked: "Let me tell you one thing first, what level of cultivation are you?"
"I have a great righteous way and a good level of cultivation."
"You're still at the first level of cultivation, what you said is too much!" Xu Zhiqiong picked up Shan Zhongming and started to roast it on the fire.
Shan Zhongming shouted loudly: "I am the first-grade cultivation base. My cultivation level was given by the God Lord. The God Lord determines the cultivation level. I don't put physical strength first, but virtue first!"
It turns out that their cultivation level, like their official positions, was determined by the Lord God.
"Tell me what level of cultivation you are in terms of physical fitness."
"I, I have never practiced physical fitness."
That means there is no cultivation.
"The two deputy chiefs of Shenji are of several levels of cultivation."
"According to the will of the Lord God, they have reached the first level of cultivation..."
Xu Zhiqiong raised the firewood stick, and Shan Zhongming shouted: "He, they haven't cultivated their physique either."
One pivot leader and two deputy pivot leaders have no cultivation level.
This kind of person is in charge of a group of people with cultivation in Shenji.
Xu Zhiqiong took out the roster: "What level of cultivation are the four lieutenants?"
"They haven't cultivated their physique either." Shan Zhongming knew how to answer this time.
"Where are the eight deputy lieutenants?"
"Some of them have practiced physical fitness."
"Write it down for me in the register."
Shan Zhongming took a pen and wrote them one by one in the roster.
The eight deputy lieutenants are the only ones with real cultivation among the senior officials of the Shenji Division.
Five of them have cultivation level, and the one with the highest cultivation level is the sixth grade.
At this level, Xu Zhiqiong still suspected that there was water in it.
Next, Xu Zhiqiong asked Shan Zhongming to look at the roster and write down each person's cultivation level. Several people's cultivation levels were indeed matched.
Ying Guizong, sixth grade judge.
Sha Wenxuan, the seventh-grade bear god.
Zou Gongjing, fifth grade Yin and Yang.
Wu Shengquan, an eighth-grade Confucian... This one is obviously watery, Wu Shengquan is a ninth-grade Confucian.
Xu Zhiqiong noticed two people on the list.
The Divine Machine General Jiang Shengqun has a cultivation level above the fifth level.
Cong Ming, Shenji Shaoqing, has a cultivation level above the fifth level.
Among the current owners of Shenji Division, except for Cong Ming, a cultivator of the evil path, Jiang Shengqun is the only cultivator above the fifth level.
But on the fifth level, how high is it?
"Are these two people third grade or fourth grade?"
Shan Zhongming shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure."
Xu Zhiqiong raised the firewood stick, and Shan Zhongming held his head and said: "Don't hit me, I'm telling the truth. You can't tell the physical fitness. I just know that they are stronger than the fourth-grade ones."
"How do you know he is stronger?"
"The Shenji Division competes once a year. Jiang Shengqun defeated Zou Gongjing last year. His cultivation should be above the fifth level. Cong Ming and Jiang Shengqun are tied, so their cultivation should be the same."
It turns out that they rely on martial arts competitions to determine everyone's cultivation level.
But there is the possibility of fraud and clumsiness.
"Did Yuan Chengfeng defeat Gongsun Wen in the competition?"
Shan Zhongming lowered his head and said: "It should be..."
"Yes, it is, no, it is no, answer it carefully!"
Shan Zhongming said: "He defeated Gongsun Wen in a martial arts competition, but the competition was strange."
"Why do you say it's strange?"
"Gongsun Wen has a third-level cultivation of Confucianism and Taoism. Confucianism and Taoism are not the righteous way of Haoran. Confucianism and Taoism are just a means of cultivating the body. The righteous way of Haoran is the cultivation of virtue. I have practiced Qiancheng and put virtue first..."
Bang! Xu Zhiqiong hit Shan Zhongming in the face with a stick.
Shan Zhongming cried a few times and did not dare to talk about Gill anymore. He just said the main topic: "During the competition, Yuan Chengfeng remained motionless and asked Gongsun Wen to attack three times. Gongsun Wen not only did not hurt him, but fell off the ring himself. I was like
I suspect the two of them are cheating."
Xu Zhiqiong said in surprise: "Gongsun Wen was poisoned?"
"I don't know if he was poisoned, but I do know that he was injured."
This is strange. Gongsun Wen attacked three times, but Yuan Chengfeng did not fight back and directly defeated Gongsun Wen.
The only reasonable explanation is that Yuan Chengfeng used poison.
Could it be that Yuan Chengfeng is a Gu cultivator?
But the highest cultivator of the Gu clan is Gu Yuan E Xing, who is only a second-grade star official.
Yuan Chengfeng crushed Gongsun Wen without having to fight back. Is his cultivation level above that of Gui Yuan's evil star?
"How did Yuan Chengfeng die?"
"I don't know about this matter..."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Shan Zhongming was beaten severely with a firewood stick. Shan Zhongming couldn't bear it anymore and told the truth:
"After defeating Gongsun Wen, Yuan Chengfeng was appreciated by the God King and was promoted to deputy lieutenant. After a while, he defeated the Bei Di Charming Demon and made great achievements, and was promoted to lieutenant.
At that time, I had just become a lieutenant, and one of the deputy chiefs died of illness. If Yuan Chengfeng was alive, he would naturally be the deputy chief.
Although this person is physically strong, his mind is evil and his conduct is extremely bad. For the sake of the Divine Lord and the Qiancheng Sheji, I poisoned him to death before he was promoted to deputy chief."
Poisoned to death?
Shan Zhongming and Yuan Chengfeng were both lieutenants at the time. In order to compete for the position of deputy chief, Shan Zhongming poisoned Yuan Chengfeng to death. This is reasonable.
But if Yuan Chengfeng was a Gu cultivator, how could he be poisoned to death?
Xu Zhiqiong couldn't understand the reason more and more.
There is another key piece of information in Shan Zhongming's words. He mentioned the succubus.
"Who is the succubus?"
Shan Zhongming said: "The enchantress is a female demon that haunts the north. It specializes in murdering men with its charms. It was once a great scourge for thousands of times.
Later, because the succubus killed the eldest son of the Shenjun, the Shenjun ordered the Shenji Division to eradicate the succubus. The Shenjisi lost countless soldiers and was no match for the succubus. Yuan Chengfeng went to the northern border to fight hard for a day and defeated the succubus. The succubus has since disappeared.
"
Succubus?
Charming way!
Mei Ling’s Taoism is also called the Charm Tao.
This succubus is most likely the dancer in the Xingxiu Corridor.
Is she Mei Ling's disciple?
But she is a banshee. Mei Ling once said that among her disciples, there is only one man who has cultivated beyond the ordinary world.
But this gender doesn't match up.
"Where did the succubus come from?"
Shan Zhongming said: "There are different opinions on the origin. There are files in the Shenji Department."
