Chapter 149 General

Da Da Da~

The sound of horse hooves is urgent and the dust is flying.

Luo Peiyun rushed over after hearing the news, and Lu Anfu followed shortly after.

"Kenji, are you okay?"

Luo Peiyun dismounted, looked around, and his eyes quickly fell on his eldest son.

"Dad, I'm fine."

Luo Keji stood with his hands behind his back and said with a faint smile: "The one causing trouble is just a newly born demon. After revealing its true form, it only has the strength of an animal."

Luo Peiyun raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Just born, he has the strength of the first bird realm?!"

Luo Keji glanced at Fang Zhixing and said with a smile: "Resentment and anger can make a person very scary, let alone a demon."

Hearing this, Luo Peiyun looked at Fang Zhixing in confusion.

The father and son then walked aside to talk.

Xigou came to Fang Zhixing and asked in astonishment, "What's going on? You came to help Luo Keji, and it would have been fine if you didn't get anything good, but why did you get yourself into trouble?"

Fang Zhixing frowned and said, "Jiang Hanlin must have eaten the monster meat and lost control and turned into a monster. And he seems to be coming for me."

"ah?!"

The dog was shocked and said speechlessly: "Wasn't the demon's target Luo Keji? How come it became you?"

Fang Zhixing's brows twisted into a knot, his face a little puzzled, and he said thoughtfully: "Before Jiang Hanlin died, he told Luo Keji that it was me who turned him into a demon."

"Damn, you've been tricked!"

Xigou was shocked, "What should I do? Will Luo Keji turn against me?"

Fang Zhixing shook his head slightly, still calm and composed, and replied: "Luo Keji is a smart man, he will not listen to one side and believe it. He didn't kill me just now, which means he won't turn against me."

Xigou pondered it carefully and suddenly realized, "That's right. If someone like Luo Keji really wants to kill someone, he will absolutely not distinguish right from wrong. He will just kill you without even giving you a chance to quibble."

at the same time!

Luo Keji told his father what had happened in detail.

After hearing this, Luo Peiyun showed a playful look on his face, and he pondered: "If Fang Zhixing wanted to murder you, what was his motive? What good would it do him if you died? In addition, you arrived at the county town today, secretly, and no one knew your whereabouts. In addition, you came to Hanxiang Tower late at night, and it was completely on impulse.

Even if Fang Zhixing had ten brains, he couldn't have predicted the future and planned to assassinate you in Hanxiang Tower in advance."

Luo Keji nodded and smiled: "I don't doubt Fang Zhixing, and I think the target that the demon wants to assassinate is not me, but Fang Zhixing."

"oh?"

Luo Peiyun's eyes flashed.

Then Luo Keji picked up a branch and drew lines on the dusty ground.

Luo Peiyun lowered his head and looked carefully.

Soon, a picture of a sheep-headed monster stitched together appeared on the ground.

"Is this the demon?" Luo Peiyun looked at it with interest.

Luo Keji nodded and said, "As the saying goes, appearance is determined by the heart. The appearance of demons is actually closely related to their inner desires and various negative emotions.

Jiang Hanlin was of low status, and he hung out with prostitutes and was abandoned by them.

So in his imagination, he was a poor lamb with the upper body of a woman.

He was extremely obsessed with Su Niang, but he couldn't get her love and her love was taken away by someone else, so he grew a head full of green hair.

Moreover, between his legs, a large and exaggerated snake grew out, which was used to show off his pathetic and ridiculous masculinity. "

Luo Keji concluded: "Such a person, with an extremely conceited and extreme personality, became a demon purely out of selfish desires, which also made him very easy to be exploited."

Luo Peiyun agreed: "Someone gave him a bag of demon meat, and with a few words of sowing discord, he fell for it."

Luo Keji nodded and said, "Well, if I didn't come to Hanxianglou tonight, the person who appeared in that big box should be Fang Zhixing."

Luo Peiyun immediately understood, frowned, narrowed his eyes and said: "Could it be that this drama was set up by the rebels? Fang Zhixing has always been the rebels' key target for assassination."

“No.”

Luo Keji pondered and said, "There is one thing that is very lovable about the rebels. They will not harm the people at will. It is not like them to turn people into monsters."

He analyzed carefully: "The person who did this can not only keep track of Fang Zhixing's whereabouts at any time, but also knows Jiang Hanlin and Su Niang.

In addition, the fact that people will turn into demons if they eat demon meat is not a secret that ordinary people can know. "

Luo Peiyun's face changed and he said, "You mean, the mastermind behind this is one of our own!"

Luo Keji asked: "If Fang Zhixing was killed today, who would be the biggest beneficiary?"

Luo Peiyun couldn't help but shudder, with his hands behind his back, his face changing from gloomy to bright.

"Well, let's go back first."

After a while, except for Lu Anfu who stayed behind to clean up the mess, everyone returned to the county government office.

Luo Peiyun paced and walked into a room.

Inside the room, Wen Yuwen, Wen Yulin and a doctor were frantically trying to rescue Wen Yudong.

"What's the situation?" Luo Peiyun asked.

Wen Yulin replied anxiously, "My brother was hit in the chest by the demon, breaking his ribs, and then he was buried by the collapsed building, which aggravated his injuries. The situation is not good."

Luo Peiyun hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly, "Do your best to rescue him."

He turned and walked out of the room.

Wen Yuwen followed out, suddenly stepped in front of Luo Peiyun and knelt down.

"Master, my son Yudong..."

Wen Yuwen was sweating profusely and was about to speak when Luo Peiyun raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Once he recovers from his injuries, send him to work at the Black Tiger Gate." Luo Peiyun sighed.

"Thank you, sir, for your magnanimity." Wen Yuwen kowtowed three times tremblingly.

Luo Peiyun turned and walked towards the study.

Fang Zhixing was already waiting at the door.

"Come in and sit down and chat." Luo Peiyun smiled.

Fang Zhixing bowed and said, "Sir, regarding the demon Jiang Hanlin..."

"I have already investigated this matter thoroughly."

Luo Peiyun interrupted and said bluntly: "It's hard to guard against thieves in your own home. The person who harmed you has been punished, so don't pursue it any further."

Fang Zhixing's face was slightly gloomy, and he said solemnly: "I obey your command."

Luo Peiyun smiled slightly and said, "Do you know why my son Keji came home this time?"

Fang Zhixing replied, "I don't know, please tell me clearly, sir."

Luo Peiyun explained carefully: "The county governor has three generals under his command, who are in charge of the three major arms of the court, the giant soldiers, the wolf cavalry, and the navy! My son Keji will soon be promoted to the general of the navy of Qinghe County."

Fang Zhixing put on a shocked expression and said, "Congratulations to you, sir. Congratulations to you, young master!"

Luo Peiyun nodded, and said with a pleased smile: "My son Keji came home this time to recruit some confidants. He will be in a high position in the future, and he needs people around him who can be absolutely trusted."

Fang Zhixing's mind was moved.

Luo Peiyun smiled and said, "Go back and prepare. Three days later, you will leave with my son Keji."

Fang Zhixing took a deep breath, and after a moment, he bowed solemnly and said, "Your Excellency's kindness will never be forgotten."

Luo Peiyun laughed and said, "Work hard, your future will be bright."

Fang Zhixing turned around and left, returning to his room in the villa.

The dog immediately ran over and said in a voice transmission, "What do you mean, Luo Keji didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "It was a false alarm, a blessing in disguise."

After a while, Xigou was stunned after listening to Fang Zhixing's story. He smacked his lips and said, "So, you are going to follow Luo Keji into the Qinghe County Navy and become the right-hand man of a general?"

Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "Well, we are going to the county town."

The little dog was amazed. He didn't expect things to take such a sudden turn.

"Alas, Fang Zhixing is so lucky. This is when his luck finally turns." Xigou thought to himself.

In a flash, it was three days later! Early morning.

The sun rises in the east, and the sky is filled with morning glow.

"Dad, Mom, I'm gone. Please take care of yourselves."

Luo Keji knelt down and kowtowed calmly.

Luo Peiyun smiled and said, "Take care on your journey, and remember to write to me often."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The eldest lady wiped her tears silently, reluctant to leave.

Luo Keji turned around and got into a luxurious carriage.

"Hello~"

The carriage slowly drove away, going faster and faster.

Ten people followed the car.

Except Fang Zhixing, the other nine people are all young talents carefully selected by Luo Peiyun.

These nine people looked very unfamiliar; Fang Zhixing had never seen them before.

Moreover, they kept their eyes straight and had no expression on their faces. Their every move was like that of a soldier, and they were very disciplined.

A group of people walked on the road, without any chatting or smiling, and always remained alert.

"Look, most of these people are the assassins secretly trained by Luo Peiyun."

Xi Gou observed their expressions and guessed, "If Luo Keji gave an order, even if they were told to die, they probably wouldn't even frown."

Fang Zhixing agreed with this and looked up at the carriage in front of him. The driver was still Wen Yulin.

He pondered, "These nine people are probably not as strong as me, and neither is Wen Yulin. As long as I gain Luo Keji's trust, I will be the most powerful person under the command of the Navy Commander-in-Chief."

Xigou laughed and said, "That's great. When you become successful in the future, wealth, power, cultivation resources, etc. will surely come rolling in. Also, your problem of lacking cultivation techniques will be solved, right?"

Fang Zhixing hesitated for a moment and replied, "Let's go and see. Luo Keji is not someone who can be easily dealt with."

The group quickly left the city and walked along the official road for a while.

Suddenly, there was a sound of rushing water ahead.

Fang Zhixing looked up and found that they had arrived at a ferry.

A small warship was docked at the ferry.

Although the warship is said to be small, it is actually not small at all, and its length reaches over twenty meters.

But this warship only has one floor, so compared to the two-story, three-story, or even four-story or five-story warships, it is naturally the smallest.

Luo Keji, Fang Zhixing and others quickly boarded the warship and ordered, "Let's go."

The warship quickly left the ferry and headed south.

Luo Keji entered the command room, sat down, looked at Fang Zhixing and others, and said with a smile: "Before I officially take office, there are two things to do, and I must do these two things well, so that I can be promoted to the general without dispute."

Fang Zhixing and others listened attentively and quietly.

"First of all, there is a water monster lurking in the Qingshui River, wantonly destroying passing ships and causing trouble for the entire water area. It must be eradicated."

Fang Zhixing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He had seen the water monster with his own eyes.

The problem was, he hadn't heard of any sea monsters attacking ships in a long time.

Fortunately, a young man was also puzzled and asked, "Master, according to my understanding, the water monster has disappeared long ago. How can we find it in the crisscrossing rivers?"

Luo Keji replied: "The water monster did not disappear, but hibernated. After this severe winter, it will come out again to look for food."

Wen Yulin added: "More than ten days ago, someone saw the monster in the Qingshui River. It attacked a black-sailed boat and ate a fisherman."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Luo Keji continued, "The second thing is that the Cao Gang has been in turmoil for a long time and has not been quelled. The county governor decided to intervene and let me select a new leader for the Cao Gang. After we hunted the water monster, we went straight to the Cao Gang."

Fang Zhixing and the others understood immediately and responded in unison, "As you command."

In a blink of an eye, five days passed.

The small warships sailed into the wide Qingshui River and rode the waves on the turbulent river.

Flutter flutter! A carrier pigeon flew over and landed on the side of the boat.

Wen Yulin grabbed the carrier pigeon, untied a roll of paper from its leg, opened it and took a look.

Then, he ran to Luo Keji and reported, "My Lord, the water monster has appeared again. It is just downstream, less than a hundred miles away from us. Not long ago, it attacked a merchant ship transporting salt."

Luo Keji's spirits perked up, and he ordered, "Let's go over there quickly and get rid of this evil beast as soon as possible."

At the order, the warship immediately accelerated.

There was a favorable wind today and the wind speed was quite strong. After about two hours, the warship arrived a hundred miles downstream.

From afar, the river was empty and there was not a single boat sailing.

There were a lot of ship fragments floating on the river, and pieces of wood drifting in the water in disorder.

Luo Keji climbed up to a high place and looked into the distance, and said thoughtfully: "There are no bodies on the river. The beast must have been extremely hungry and ate all the people on the boat."

He turned his head and told Wen Yulin, "Go, lure it over here."

Wen Yulin understood what he meant, returned to the cabin, grabbed the two slaves, hung them at the stern, and then cut their wrists.

Blood flowed out, dripping onto the surface of the river, dyeing the water red.

Everyone stood by the boat and looked around.

Half an hour passed in a flash! "Here I am, there!"

Suddenly, a young man shouted excitedly.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, but they only saw a huge whirlpool quickly forming on the river surface and then slowly dissipating.

Crash!

The next moment, a long snake tail suddenly broke out of the water only ten meters away from the warship.

The waves rose high and hit the warship.

The soles of everyone's feet shook violently.

"Evil beast, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Luo Keji was greatly encouraged and let out a long roar.

Wait a moment! The water monster surfaced again and swam back and forth around the warship, circle after circle.

Fang Zhixing took a closer look and found that the water monster had grown even bigger.

The last time I saw it, it was about ten meters long, but now it is at least twelve meters long.

It still has a flat head, resembling a crocodile's head, and a body like a python, covered with pitch-black scales.
