Tang Yanyue spat out a pile of bones and said quickly: "How about you help me kill someone, and I promise to tell everything I know."
The woman smiled coldly and said decisively: "Impossible, who knows whether what you said is true or false?"
Want to take advantage of her?
Idiots talk about dreams.
Tang Yanyue hummed and rolled her eyes: "If you don't believe me, I'll throw you away."
——
Xianghuo County.
Tang Yun was riding on his horse, quietly looking at the crowded scene outside the city. On the left was the Zhenwu Pavilion and the Imperial Martial Arts Academy, on the right was the aristocratic family and the sect that was gradually surrendering, as well as the private martial arts academy they founded.
There were many people, tens of thousands.
Tang Yun squinted his eyes, got off his horse and moved forward with his sword in hand. His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised: "Leiyin Temple didn't come? That's to be expected, after all, he's so arrogant."
Seeing the token on Tang Yun's waist, the head of the county palace who was waiting first immediately bowed solemnly and said loudly: "I will wait for you to see Mr. Tang."
"No gift."
Tang Yun glanced at the five people, nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on the space specially left in the middle.
There are six counties and thirty prefectures in Leihuo Prefecture. Xianghuo County occupies six prefectures alone, so it can definitely be regarded as a large county. Currently, there are only five heads of the six prefectures, and one is missing.
The reason why this guy didn't come was that Tang Yun knew that the Thunder Leopard in the dungeon was attacking the city where this unlucky guy was, and he had already died in the line of duty.
Tang Yun stared at the young man in plain clothes slightly behind him, and recognized that this man was the son of the slain palace master, and asked softly: "How is the damage to Jinguang Mansion? Is it possible to recover?"
He stopped the Scarlet Flame Golden Turtle, but did not stop the Thunder Leopard, and had no intention of doing so.
Anyway, Leiyin Temple is not performing once or twice. Even if Lei Bao is killed, it doesn't make much sense. As for the people of Jinguang Mansion... they can only be blamed for their bad luck.
The young man pursed his lips and gritted his teeth and said: "To tell you what my lord, the situation has been stabilized. However, the governor mentioned to me that the closer you get to the forbidden land, the more difficult it will be to farm and grow food, and the harvest will be smaller. This time, the monsters raided in large numbers.
The losses for all parties were huge.
But Zhenwu Pavilion can still mobilize men and horses to supplement it, but many fertile fields outside the city have been infected and destroyed by demonic energy. If there is no way, I am afraid that there will be no harvest this year."
Tang Yun frowned: "This is the governor's business, right? If you are really in trouble, just report it to the county governor. Why do you use your mouth to tell me?"
As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you will not pursue your political affairs. You should specialize in your art.
Civil servants and generals have their own responsibilities, and Zhenwu Pavilion also has their own responsibilities. Everyone does their own thing, and they may have a good relationship with each other, but they rarely intersperse job issues. This thing will become more and more confusing, and it will not sound good once it is spread.
That's why Tang Yun answered like this, not because he didn't want to care about it, but because he shouldn't care about it, and it wasn't his turn to care about it.
The young man gritted his teeth and suddenly knelt down on one knee with a puff, saying: "The governor reported to Mr. Liu, the governor of Xianghuo County, but Mr. Liu was furious and rejected the ultimatum and ordered him to collect the grain tax on time.
But now Jinguang Mansion has suffered heavy casualties. Whether the people can survive until winter is a question. There is no food left to pay taxes.
That is why I have no choice but to report this matter to Your Excellency. I hope that Your Excellency and Mr. Liu will inform you and at least give the people a way to survive and allocate food for disaster relief."
"If there is such a thing, I will ask." Tang Yun twitched the corners of his lips, showing an expression of surprise and astonishment at the right time, then nodded solemnly, accepting the matter.
Of course, this is just a response.
Tang Yun didn't say enough, and he didn't promise that he would definitely persuade the other party to allocate food for disaster relief.
He will definitely say what needs to be said, but whether Lord Liu agrees or not, it doesn't matter to him. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with Tang Yun, and the blame from above cannot be blamed on him.
When the young man heard this, he burst into tears and stood up quickly to thank him continuously.
The local officials who were waiting quietly had no reaction to this. In terms of scheming, these officials were more playful than the Zhenwu Pavilion people.
They easily heard the underlying meaning of Tang Yun's words, so they just laughed at the young man's words inwardly and did not panic at all.
Tang Yun strolled up to Liu Yuan, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Liu, you heard what he said just now. I wonder if there is any difficulty?"
When Liu Yuan heard the sound of the string and understood the elegant meaning, he lowered the corner of his mouth, and his elegant facial features suddenly wrinkled, full of sorrow, and he sighed: "My lord, I have just come here for the first time, so I may not be aware of the details."
He gave up his position and entered the city side by side with Tang Yun, talking as he walked.
As if deliberately letting the young people hear clearly, Liu Yuan's voice was very high, sometimes sighing with sadness, sometimes heartbroken, sometimes smiling inexplicably, sometimes feeling aggrieved...
Tang Yun glanced at the young man without revealing any trace, and nodded with sudden realization: "So that's it. When you are in your position, you will seek your own government, but your Excellency is in trouble. Why didn't you make it clear to the governor at that time?"
Liu Yuan received the reminder and felt grateful in his heart. He said apologetically: "If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have said anything. To say it would be to shirk responsibility. There is no balance in the world. I only regret that I am not capable enough to make orders."
Let the people be satisfied with the rule."
"I made the mistake of blaming you, sir." Tang Yun apologized at the right moment.
Liu Yuan smiled bitterly: "It makes sense."
As soon as they sang and harmonized, the blame was thrown on the Balrog's head and on the monster. By the way, he earned a wave of tears, washed his face, and established his image.
What is tacit understanding?
This is a tacit understanding between them. In response to this kind of attack, Tang Yun and the others would naturally do Tai Chi with each other, pushing each other harder and harder, and finally letting it go.
Tang Yun didn't feel the slightest bit guilty about this. In his opinion, those people were dead and it didn't matter to him.
Don’t you believe in Buddhism?
You have money to pay tribute to the bald donkey, but you don’t have the money to pay grain and taxes to the court? Do you still want the court to allocate grain for disaster relief?
I'm afraid you want to eat shit.
Why don't you ask Buddha for blessing? If it doesn't work, you can ask Leiyin Temple.
Leiyin Temple has a great business and has hundreds of branches in various places. Where did all the incense money go? Why don't you use it to care for these believers?
Everyone was happy, and a large number of people entered the city in large numbers.
Tang Yun ordered the people from the Zhenwu Pavilion to disperse first, and then under Liu Yuan's false guidance, he was surrounded by a group of officials, local gangsters, and senior officials of the private martial arts academy, and walked straight to the banquet that had been prepared.
As the host, Liu Yuan sat at the head, Tang Yun sat at the side, and then came the leaders of various forces.
There were a lot of people, at least dozens of people were qualified to sit down, and most of them had juniors and maids behind them, so there were hundreds of people in total.
Liu Yuan raised his glass and stood up and said: "Your Excellency, you have been transferred to Xianghuo County. It is really a blessing. I have often heard about your deeds. Today I can meet you in person. I can only say that meeting you is even more famous. No wonder the court praises you so much."
.”
Everyone carries the sedan chair.
Tang Yun raised his glass and said, "Your Excellency, this is a ridiculous compliment. Leihuo Prefecture is a vast and sparsely populated area, and the fire demons are causing trouble. The people are miserable. I have often heard people mentioning Your Excellency in the city before.
Xianghuo County is also located in front of a forbidden area. Your Excellency can stabilize the situation in Xianghuo, and it is a great achievement for your hard work. From now on, I will trouble you more."
"This is a matter of duty. Your Excellency, please don't find me nagging you."
Liu Yuan drank the drink in one gulp, showing his pride, and after sitting down, he raised his hands and scanned the audience: "Not long ago, the demon caused nuisance and caused huge losses to Xianghuo County. Now that Mr. Tang is here, the demon can't be arrogant for long."
After saying this, the maid quietly refilled the cup, and Liu Yuan invited another cup: "This cup is for Mr. Tang, and all of you will drink together."
"Drink together."
Everyone agreed, rolled up their sleeves, raised their heads and drank the drinks.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere gradually reached a climax, and more beauties came to the table to dance. For a time, the venue was very lively and the guests were enjoying themselves.
Tang Yun squinted his eyes, lowered his head, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
Liu Yuan's words just now seemed to be righteous and reasonable, but in reality they were putting Tang Yun on the fire.
It's not been a year or two since the Forbidden Land incident has affected Leihuo Prefecture. No matter how many officials have been changed, it still hasn't been resolved. Why do you just kill it with just one sentence? Tang Yun is sure to solve the matter?
You are worried about Tang Yun's face, do you expect the demon to be worried about it?
This was a clear intention to push Tang Yun out to share the pressure, and together with Liu Yuan's previous shirk of responsibility, if such words spread, people in Xianghuo County would instinctively focus more on Zhenwu Pavilion.
Whenever Tang Yun makes any mistakes, he will be greeted with verbal and written criticism.
This does not mean that Liu Yuan regards Tang Yun as his enemy. This is just Liu Yuan's last resort in order to share the pressure. If he had no other choice, how could he offend Tang Yun, a popular person in front of the emperor?
The way to be an official is to be wise and protect yourself, which is understandable.
It can even be said that Tang Yun was happy for him to do this, otherwise he would not have deliberately guided Liu Yuan in this direction in the previous conversation.
Because there is going to be a big show next~
If you are willing to give up, you will get something. Tang Yun doesn't mind paying a little bit first, since there will be many opportunities to earn it back in the future, it's just a little fame... He can afford to pay.
Somewhere, Zhang Chongxun was eating his food slowly, and said to Fang Yu and Fang Yu behind him: "Watch it carefully and study hard. If you understand it this time, I am sure to help you find a way."
Fang Yu and Zhang Fa looked at each other, nodded imperceptibly, and looked over to Tang Yun frequently.
Especially Fang Yu, her beautiful eyes were shining brightly, staring at Ming Ya on Tang Yun's waist. She was very sure that the Tang Yun she met in the forbidden area was the Tang Yun in front of her.
Although the sword was wrapped in black cloth at the time, its appearance, length, details and edges were all consistent with what she remembered, and the two men's bodies were 99% similar in every aspect.
Thinking about Tang Yun's words at that time, she breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps Mr. Tang took the first step and intercepted the demon deep in the forbidden area, so that demon could not cause trouble to the county...
It's a pity that the adults did more, but no one knew about it, Fang Yu sighed secretly.
She is very smart. During the period of healing, through conversations with the dean, she now has a rough idea of why Tang Yun came here secretly in the first place.
Without him, temptation.
Tang Yun knew very well that if he came here with great fanfare, Xianghuo County would definitely cover up the filth and show its splendor. He wanted to see the true appearance of Xianghuo County, so he secretly arrived in advance.
Now, because of Fang Yu and others, the news that Tang Yun had come secretly had already reached the ears and eyes of some people. Although these people all restrained themselves, it was already too late.
Tang Yun must have seen what should be seen long ago.
Tang Yun already knew what he should know.
If nothing goes as expected, Tang Yun will take action next.
Zhang Chongxun's intention was to ask them to carefully watch what Tang Yun would do next, how he would... target Leiyin Temple.
That's right.
Tang Yun's arrival actually not only attracted the attention of Leiyin Temple, but also attracted the attention of various forces in Leihuo State. Even various sects in the world couldn't help but pay attention to this place.
As we all know, conspiracy is a matter of using one trick and one trick at a time.
Along the way, Tang Yun encountered many conspiracies against sects. The major sects had already been extremely vigilant. Now with Leiyin Temple standing in front of them, they just wanted to see what the other side was up to.
After all, Leiyin Temple is definitely a behemoth. If Tang Yun can defeat even Leiyin Temple, it means that it is time for the sects in the world to make a choice.
Zhang Chongxun stood up, shook his sleeves, came to Tang Yun with wine, and said with a smile: "Master Tang, I am Zhang Chongxun, now the dean of Xianghuo Martial Arts Academy. I have an unkind invitation to come today. If you are rude, please return the favor."
Please forgive me, sir."
Tang Yun looked at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled and clinked his cup with him: "Dean Zhang, I have admired you for a long time. If you have anything to say, just say it straight away. Why should one of us be so different?"
Zhang Chongxun smiled and said: "That's right, you are the founder of martial arts academies all over the world. Nowadays, martial arts academies have been established all over the world, and these students have admired you for a long time.
I have an idea, I wonder if you have some free time, go to Xianghuo Martial Arts Academy and give a lecture, so that Xianghuo students can see your true face, and it can also inspire you to work hard."
"..."
Tang Yun's mouth twitched and his expression became strange.
What does this mean.
Are you still addicted to the ‘Yun Brand’ chicken soup of love?
Do you really think I am Jack Ma?
Eh~
Tang Yun rubbed his temples, and suddenly realized that it was quite a coincidence that his and Jack Ma's names both had the word "cloud" in their names. They were both men, they both knew English, they both became chicken soup, and both were... rich.
Tang Yun filled him up with wine and chuckled: "Dean, do you know that I haven't studied for a few years and can't recite poems or write beautiful articles? Isn't this a bit abrupt?"
Zhang Chongxun shook his head and said with a smile: "Poems, songs, and splendid articles have always been the playthings of scholars, pretending to be noble things. To the people of the world, these are not even as good as a bucket of rice. What I value is the practice of adults."
Tang Yun thought for a moment, nodded and replied: "Since the dean sincerely invites you, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you. If there is anything I don't like, I still hope that dean Haihan will do it. After all, we are a rough man."
"Thank you so much, sir." Zhang Chongxun got the answer he wanted and returned to his seat with satisfaction.
He couldn't help but sigh to himself, no wonder this guy could reach such a high level in such a short period of time, and he was so impeccable in what he said and did.
Just like in front of the city gate, Tang Yun faced the young man's answer. Now facing Zhang Chongxun's invitation, although Tang Yun agreed, he still did not finish his words, which could be said to have left plenty of room for himself.
Fang Yu hesitated, glanced at Tang Yun a little nervously, and said softly: "Dean, I..."
