The atmosphere was a bit cold and no one spoke. Bai Ruoyue looked left and right, not understanding why no one was paying attention to her.

She felt that what she said made sense.

Since we are afraid of disturbing the mountain god, we should go and ask the god in question for his opinion.

"That's right." Zuo Tianzheng nodded.

"After all, it is the Black Mountain of the Mountain God. We should indeed consult the Mountain God on what to do."

"I will come up with a feasible plan on how to restore and even strengthen the security of Black Cloud, and I will need your cooperation at that time."

“It should be.”

Now everyone is active again.

During this period, Lu Qingmo and Jiang Wenwu of Dingwu Division did not speak, but let Zuo Tianzheng perform.

Zuo Tianzheng didn't say anything else, just chatted with everyone, and a slight smile appeared on his usually cold face.

Finally, he invited everyone to stay for dinner, but everyone declined.

"Captain Lu, Captain Jiang, are you free next time?"

"There are still matters to be dealt with in the Ghost and God Department."

Jiang Wenwu also gave the same statement and then left.

Zhou Qing and Lu Qingmo left together.

Zuo Tianzheng looked at the backs of the three people, his eyes slightly narrowed, and asked the guard next to him.

"What is the identity of the person who came with the daughter of Taibai Pavilion Master?"

This was the second day since he arrived in Heiyun, and there were many things he had not yet learned.

Yesterday, while recuperating at the Jianhe Garrison, the personnel from both departments got to know each other, and today they immediately found the leaders of various forces.

"Master Taibai's little disciple, the number one talent in Black Cloud Town, has a close relationship with Lu Duguan, and is suspected to be learning Taoism from her..."

The guard told Zuo Tianzheng the detailed information about Zhou Qing.

"The first genius of Black Cloud... a genius."

Zuo Tianzheng had a cold expression and deep eyes, and then he suddenly smiled.

"The daughter of the Taibai Pavilion Master is a rare beauty. Even in Yujing, she is stunningly beautiful and enchanting."

"Master Taibai... is he really in the Marrow Cleansing Stage?"

"Yes, it was personally certified by Jiang Duguan." The subordinate said:

"Sir, then Bai Ruoyue is also related to Lu Duguan."

"Oh?" Zuo Tianzheng was surprised. "I didn't expect Lu Qingmo to change his temperament in such a wilderness. He seems to be more easy-going."

Zuo Tianzheng shook his head, “Since Bai Tian is in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, and this Bai Ruoyue is also related to Lu Qingmo, then forget it.”

"There's no need to offend Lu Qingmo for a woman. The big plan is more important."

He thought of something again and said:

"The second Black Mountain earthquake was the Black Mountain that the Taibai Martial Arts School group entered in advance, right?"

"Yes, but it is said that when they entered, the wild beasts were still at the end of the riot. Due to their lack of strength, they were unable to gain any benefits."

"I didn't get any benefit..." Zuo Tianzheng smiled, "Why don't I believe it?"

Zuo Tianzheng asked again: "Is there any news about the Bu Tian vine?"

"No, since we came to Black Cloud Town, we have tried our best to investigate this thing, but we have found nothing. We have not heard of anyone in Black Cloud Town getting this thing, nor have we found anyone who has seen this thing."

"Keep investigating. His Majesty said that there must be Bu Tian Vine in the Black Mountain." Zuo Tianzheng's voice was firm and full of irrefutable meaning.

"We must find it. We cannot miss any news. We can put anything else aside. The Tianbu vine is the most important."

"Your Majesty?"

"This is what His Majesty promised me." Zuo Tianzheng glanced at the man and said, "Just follow his orders. You don't need to worry about anything else."

"Yes, sir."

Zuo Tianzheng clenched his fists and there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes.

"I must get the Tiantian vine."

"Also, analyze which of the various forces in Black Cloud is easier to win over, and then invite him over alone."

"yes."

On the way back, Zhou Qing said:

"Mr. Zuo, you have great ambitions. Does Yujing have any ideas about Black Mountain?"

"It should be." Lu Qingmo nodded.

"When the mountain god dies, Black Mountain will be ownerless. Yunjiang Longjun will not be able to protect Black Mountain alone. The royal family will definitely want to take Black Mountain for themselves."

In fact, according to the law, all mountains, rivers, lakes and seas within the territory of Da Qi belong to Da Qi.

Unfortunately, this is a supernatural world where practitioners exist.

Laws are sometimes not so effective, and in many places, the imperial court tacitly accepts the ownership of clans and families.

Even when the dynasty was founded, the royal family of Qi clearly divided some areas among various major forces, and the court had no right to interfere.

For example, the mountain gate of Xuandu Temple.

Which Da Qi official, or even a royal family member, dares to say that Xuanfa Mountain in Xuandu Temple belongs to them?

Even the emperor didn't dare to say that.

"An ownerless paradise is very important to the imperial court. It is the foundation."

"This precious place is so touching."

That huge black mountain is the real paradise. The mountains that Zhou Qing and his friends had visited before were just derivatives of this paradise.

Just the area derived from Fukuzawa can give birth to many treasures, and the scene inside can be imagined.

"That guy surnamed Zuo wants to occupy Black Mountain?" Bai Ruoyue realized belatedly.

Zhou Qing rolled his eyes at the senior sister.

"Establishing rules to restrict outsiders from entering Montenegro, what kind of identity can do this?"

Bai Ruoyue thought for a moment and said, "The master of Black Mountain."

“But the mountain god has already established rules with other beings of the same level. What kind of rules is Zuo Tianzheng establishing?” Zhou Qing shook his head.

"You want to exercise your rights as a master before you even get Black Mountain."

"Try not to get involved in this matter." Lu Qingmo warned: "For things like maintaining the stability of the town, you can cooperate with him, but restrict others from entering Black Mountain and don't get involved."

"The mountain god is still here, so those people may be angry but dare not speak out. But when the mountain god passes away, the strength of Black Cloud Town will not be able to stop the resentment."

Zhou Qing nodded, understanding this truth.

Zuo Tianzheng undoubtedly wanted to take advantage of these local tyrants in Heiyun Town.

Zuo Tianzheng only brought a few people, and there were heavy casualties. Whatever he wanted to do, he basically had to rely on the local forces of Heiyun.

If all the families and martial arts schools cooperated with him and kept outsiders out of Black Mountain, then the power of the mountain god would still exist and those outsiders would definitely not dare to attack the families and martial arts schools.

As long as the mountain god is still alive, the local forces in Heiyun Town will naturally have a layer of protection.

The mountain god may not care about the life and death of these forces, but you cannot bet on whether the mountain god cares or not.

And if you take advantage of this protective umbrella to do whatever you want, you will probably be held accountable after the mountain god dies.

Lu Qingmo went to the Ghost and God Department alone, while Zhou Qing and the other person returned to the martial arts gym and told Zhang Yuantao and the others about what happened today.

"This Lord Zuo will probably make some big moves later." Zhang Yuantao analyzed: "Maintaining the stability of Black Cloud is probably just the most insignificant of his many tasks."

Yujing went to great lengths to send a team of envoys here; it's impossible that they were just here to deal with the black cloud.

Just as Zuo Tianzheng said, the Emperor of Qi was living in unrest and worry because of the people in Heiyun Town. That was complete nonsense.

It's just polite talk.

If the Emperor of Qi was such a person, then when there was a severe drought in Tianyang County five years ago, the Emperor of Qi would have ascended to heaven without worrying.

If you say that the Emperor of Qi was so angry that he vomited blood because Black Mountain could not fall into his hands, everyone would believe it.

"Cooperate when necessary, and hide when necessary."

night.

"Aunt Mo, since Yujing wants Black Mountain, isn't it too low to send an imperial envoy who is only at the Bone Refining Realm?"

Zhou Qing asked a question.

"At the current stage, there is no difference between refining bones or washing marrow. As long as the strength is not too low, it is not a problem." Lu Qingmo shook his head.

"After the mountain god falls, this will be the battlefield for the stronger ones."

"But I didn't expect Zuo Tianzheng to be so anxious to reveal his intentions towards Black Mountain. After all, he is only at the Bone Refining Stage. It's too hasty for him to do this."

At this time, Lu Qingmo's expression changed and he looked outside the peach forest.

"What is Zuo Tianzheng doing here?"

"He's outside now?"

"right."

"Master Zuo, why are you here at this time?"

Lu Qingmo's voice reached outside the peach forest, and she seemed to be listening, and then she said: "Since the matter is not urgent, Lord Zuo, please go back. It won't be too late to talk tomorrow."

"It's late at night now, and it's not convenient for me to see Master Zuo."

Zhou Qingshen nodded in agreement. That's right. It's late at night and it's quiet. It's not right for a grown man like you to go to a place where a woman lives alone.

He is different, this is his home too, he is just going home.

After saying that, Lu Qingmo no longer paid attention to the outside world. Zuo Tianzheng naturally left as well. It was impossible for him to force his way in or act like "if you don't let me in, I won't leave."

"What is he doing here?"

"You said you wanted to discuss the Black Mountain matter with me. I don't want to interfere in this matter, and I can't express my opinion on behalf of Xuandu Temple." Lu Qingmo's face was calm, and he was not worried about driving away the imperial envoy.

"If Xuandu Temple also has ideas about Black Mountain, they will naturally inform me directly, and he won't have to tell me."

"Besides, we don't have the final say on the ownership of Montenegro."

Zhou Qingshen nodded in agreement, and said, "It seems that Zuo Tianzheng is a little anxious."

Lu Qingmo glanced at Zhou Qing and asked, "Have you studied today?"

“…”

Why do I feel like I'm back to school, being urged to study by adults?

But I am already that old, and I am still being urged. What is wrong with me?

Three days later, Zuo Tianzheng sent someone to invite him again to discuss something. After the government officials left, Bai Ruoyue muttered:

"This person is so annoying. Why does he have so many things to do?"

Arriving at the garrison, Zuo Tianzheng got straight to the point and said:

"I have conducted an in-depth investigation into Black Cloud's current situation in the past few days, and I am not optimistic."

"I plan to expand Black Cloud Town, and at the same time..."

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

Zuo Tianzheng talked about some policy issues, but they had basically nothing to do with Zhou Qing and the others.

There is no need for them to do things like building houses and obtaining citizenship.

"Also, I plan to create a temporary organization called Black Cloud Guard, which will be divided into Wuwei and Daowei to assist the Ghost and God Department and Dingwu Department in handling Black Cloud affairs and maintaining the stability of Black Cloud."

"However, the government of Heiyun Town is short-handed, and may need your help."

Hearing this, everyone immediately perked up.

After all, this matter is directly related to them.

Someone glanced at Lu Qingmo and the other manager covertly, wanting to see their reactions.

The Black Cloud Military Guards and Taoist Guards are said to be assisting the two departments, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a division of power.

However, Lu Qingmo and the other man's expressions did not change, as if they did not take it seriously.

"My Tenglong Martial Arts School is willing to send one Bone Refining Realm, three Organ Refining Realm, and six Tendon and Veins Realm warriors to assist Master Zuo!"

Long Tianchong was the first to jump out and respond to Zuo Tianzheng, which attracted everyone's attention and caused constant speculation.

This guy was not so active last time, but now with this kind of performance, I'm afraid he has contacted Zuo Tianzheng privately.

"Okay, Master Long is dedicated to the people. I will report to the court tomorrow and ask for credit for Master Long." Zuo Tianzheng looked at Long Tianchong with appreciation.

After Long Tianzheng took the lead, it was no longer possible for others to pretend to be dead, and they expressed their willingness to contribute to the construction of the Black Cloud Guard.

In the end, only Taibai's family remained silent, and everyone looked over.

Bai Ruoyue said with some embarrassment:

"My Taibai Martial Arts School has only been established for more than ten years. It has a shallow foundation and does not have any warriors in the Bone Refining Realm."

"There are only three at the Organ Realm, and the other four disciples are all at the Muscle and Veins Realm. We can't spare that many people."

"My father is not here, I am the acting headmaster, my sixth junior sister is still weak, and my third junior brother has to handle the daily affairs of the martial arts hall..."

Because of the God-driving Monkey Atlas, outsiders were unaware of Zhou Qing's promotion to the internal organs.

"Master Zuo, how about sending one from Taibai to the Internal Organ Realm and two from the Tendon and Veins Realm to join the Black Cloud Guard?"

“…”

It's shabby. Compared with other martial arts schools, this one is too shabby.

But Zuo Tianzheng couldn't point fingers at anything, after all, the actual situation of Taibai Martial Arts School was there.

One out of three in the internal organs realm, judging from the proportion, it is already very responsible.

Bai Ruoyue had made it clear that she was the acting museum owner, and it was impossible for her, the museum owner, to join the Black Cloud Guard.

It is even more impossible to mobilize all the people in Taibai.

"Then this number one genius of Black Cloud..." Zuo Tianzheng looked at Zhou Qing.

Bai Ruoyue didn't say anything and let Zhou Qing make the decision himself.

Lu Qingmo suddenly spoke up and said:

"Zhou Qing is from my Ghost and God Department."

What I mean is, don't try to target him, I'm protecting him.

After hearing this, Zuo Tianzheng had no choice but to give up.

With the help of people from the six forces and the government's own power, Zuo Tianzheng immediately ordered people to make the distribution and divided them into six teams.

There are four branches of military guards and two branches of Taoist guards.

The Wuweis all have a Bone Refining Realm as their captain, while the Daoweis have a Day Traveling Realm as their captain.

In order to reassure all parties, each team is composed of a mixture of personnel from various parties.

Then everyone left and went back to select disciples to report to the garrison.

"Daowei and Wuwei, these correspond to the two departments of ghosts and gods and Dingwu." Zhou Qing said.

"What does Zuo Tianzheng want to do?"

"He has informed us about this matter." Lu Qingmo said:

"According to what he meant, we need to use the power of all parties in Black Cloud to stabilize Black Cloud. We can't just let the court do the work."

Zhou Qing shook his head. "If that's the intention, then he can just ask all parties to send people to temporarily join the Ghost and God Division and the Dingwu Division, and the effect will be the same."

Lu Qingmo said indifferently: "Let him be. As long as his ideas are beneficial to Black Cloud Town, that's fine."

"Just some rights, not worth mentioning."

What can I do if I hold great power in this Black Cloud Town?

Lu Qingmo had no intention of fighting for power, and she would not stay in Heiyun Town for the rest of her life.

After all, only with fists can you have power.

What was unexpected was that in the afternoon, Zuo Tianzheng posted another notice, openly recruiting Black Cloud Guards from practitioners in various counties.

This makes people wonder, is Zuo Tianzheng so obsessed with power?

As for Taibai Martial Arts School, naturally, Shen Long, Su Changan and He Feng went to report to the garrison.

"I am a bone-refining warrior from the Kuang Dao Martial Arts School, and Xie Kuang's subordinate." Shen Long said.

"Our captain is the Lin family bone-refining warrior, Lin Luffy."

Su and He were in the same team.

"But guess what I heard." Shen Long looked mysterious.

"Hurry up and tell me." Shen Yu urged him.

"This Lord Zuo seems to be very fond of beautiful women." Shen Long said: "I heard that many female apprentices of Tenglong Martial Arts School were sent to Zuo Tianzheng by Long Tianchong."

"Also, Zuo Tian is currently at the garrison. He has to be served in his daily life, even having to sit on a beauty chair."

"Let the beauty bend over and lie on the ground, and he will sit on her."

"When resting at night, the woman should put his feet in her arms, keep them from getting cold, and keep them from touching hard objects. She should use her breasts to massage them."

"And more..."

"Brother, stop talking." Shen Yu interrupted Shen Long.

Bai Ruoyue frowned, "How disgusting."

"I hope he will have less trouble in the future. I don't want to meet this kind of person any more."

Zhou Qing secretly sighed in his heart, as expected of a Yujing native, he really knows how to have fun.

But at the same time, he was a little wary, because this guy named Zuo looked like a sex-hungry ghost.

But it must be said that Zuo Tianzheng is indeed capable. Over the next few days, under his governance, the environment in Heiyun Town has indeed improved a lot.

He was very decisive in his actions and was willing to reward people, which helped him win over quite a few independent cultivators.

Zuo Tianzheng came from Yujing and was a popular figure among the emperor. He did have some good things on him, which were very attractive to practitioners in remote places like Heiyun Town.

With Shen Long and the others around, Zhou Qing would be able to know in time what the Wuwei Daowei did.

They are all normal tasks, nothing unusual.

Zuo Tianzheng no longer convened all parties to discuss matters. He even did everything himself, regardless of his injuries, and often ran around outside, making important contributions to the stability of Heiyun.

Just looking at this point, he is truly a fatherly official who is wholeheartedly serving the people and working tirelessly for the development of Heiyun Town.

Until the next day, all the martial arts guards and Taoist guards received the same mission, which was ordered by Zuo Tianzheng himself.

The evil demons who attacked Zuo Tianzheng at the beginning have already found several of them and killed many in the past few days. The crimes they committed are too numerous to list. They must be captured and executed immediately.

But those evil demons were very cunning and have now fled into the Black Mountains.

Zuo Tianzheng ordered all the Taoist and military guards to go into Black Mountain to search for the traces of the evil demons. They must not be allowed to escape, lest they continue to cause chaos.

It is also for the sake of order in Montenegro.

He was also very generous and equipped each troop of Taoist and Military Guards with a sensing magic weapon.

It is said that if the magic weapon senses evil, it will react immediately.

Of course, the evil demons that can enter Black Mountain will definitely not go to the Bone Refining and Day Tours.

This task was reasonable and there was no problem with it, and no one refused.

However, Zhou Qing still made some preparations for Shen Long and the others to provide some guarantees for their safety after entering Black Mountain.

At the same time, out of curiosity, Zhou Qing also took a look at the sensing magic weapon prepared for them.

The function of the magic weapon was indeed as Zuo Tianzheng said, but Zhou Qing was a little confused about how to sense the evil spirits.

Since there were no demonic items in the magic weapon to guide them, could it be a special attack on the demons? Zhou Qing looked calm as he watched Shen Long and the other two walk away.

Zhang Yuantao walked over and said, "These evil monks dared to stay near Heiyun Town after attacking the imperial envoy. They are really bold."

Zhou Qing shook his head. "Who knows? After all, it's an evil demon, and its thoughts are always difficult to understand."

Zhang Yuantao added: "This Lord Zuo really cares about Black Mountain."

Coincidentally, Zhou Qing felt the same way.

Are all these tasks the emperor's?
