Chapter 55 The Hundred Years Are Coming

Qian Cang followed Chen Tong to the county government office with a bitter face.

He was panicking and didn't know what he was going to face. Fang Nanzheng relied on the horse given by Liu Litao and was always one step ahead of him!

How abominable!

"Hmph!"

As soon as he arrived at the county government office, Qian Cang heard a cold snort.

Then he saw a middle-aged man with an ancient face, a long beard, and a brown robe walking out of the prefect's reception hall.

Qian Cang looked at the man curiously, but happened to meet his angry eyes. He felt a pain in his eyes and lowered his head in a hurry.

However, the man didn't care about him and walked past him and left.

"Little Grandmaster, or a real Grandmaster?!" Qian Cang was shocked. Being able to make people feel pain just by looking at him meant that he was at least a strong man who had cultivated true qi.

"Stop looking, follow me in." Chen Tong said indifferently.

"Oh, yes, Lord Commandant!" Qian Cang nodded quickly. He was shocked just now and stopped subconsciously.

At this time, the prefect Liu Litao in the reception hall had just put down his tea bowl. Seeing Chen Tong coming back with Qian Cang, he smiled and said, "Sit down."

Chen Tong sat down without any restraint.

Qian Cang looked around in surprise, but did not see Fang Nanzheng. He was puzzled, but still sat down with trepidation.

"Are you looking for Lao Fang?" Liu Litao looked at Qian Cang with a half-smile.

"...Ah!" Qian Cang stood up nervously and said in a trembling voice, "Sir, I, I..."

"Don't be afraid, I already know everything." Liu Litao laughed and said, "You have already taken refuge with the Magistrate of Juhe County, right?"

"Sir, don't believe Fang Nanzheng's nonsense." Qian Cang thought that Fang Nanzheng had informed on him, and hurriedly said what he had prepared, "Sir, although I took refuge with the Magistrate of Juhe County, it was actually for..."

"No need to say more." Liu Litao raised his hand to interrupt Qian Cang and said with a smile, "This prefect had already planned to take refuge with the County Magistrate Cui before you did."

"Ah? Ah?!!" Qian Cang was stunned, opening his mouth, not knowing what to say, as if his mouth was stuck. All the words he had thought of to persuade Governor Liu were completely useless at this moment.

How could a governor of a county slip so quickly? ?

"This commander also intends to follow the governor and join the county magistrate Cui." Chen Tong nodded at the side.

"Ah this?!" Qian Cang was even more confused.

On weekdays, there were many gaps between Commander Chen Tong and Governor Liu Litao, but now they have reached a consensus?

I must be dreaming.

"I killed Fang Nanzheng." Liu Litao suddenly spoke up, sneering, "I have been so kind to him, but now he is trying to harm me. He said that Juhe County won a great victory just because of good luck and the great change in the sky, and he wanted me to pick peaches. He wanted to kill me!"

"He was killed?!" Qian Cang's eyes widened, his face full of surprise, "Sir Governor, do you know that County Master Cui can call the shots?"

"You don't think that the two of you are the only ones I sent out to investigate the news." Liu Litao stood up and said with a smile, "Calling the wind and rain, the power of gods, although it is hard to believe, but when everyone says so, you have to believe it."

At this point, he paused and said, "You go back and prepare. Ten days later, come with me to Juhe County to welcome the new governor of Lu County."

"Yes, yes! Thank you, governor!" Qian Cang was relieved to hear this, and hurriedly bowed and left.

Now there were only Liu Litao and Chen Tong in the guest hall.

"Just now I saw Sun Panshi left in a huff, and he came to you to talk about the proposal of the Tai Chong faction?" Chen Tong looked at Liu Litao and asked.

The Taichong Sect is the strongest sect in Lu County. It has only been established for two hundred years and is slightly weaker than the Yuhua Sword Pavilion, but it lacks the inner world. It has several innate grandmasters and should not be underestimated.

The middle-aged man who just walked away was named Sun Panshi. He was the external affairs steward of the Taichong Sect and a grandmaster of the Condensation Qi Realm.

"Yes." Liu Litao sat down and sneered, "Sun Panshi is so arrogant that he actually said he could help me get the position of governor of Fengzhou. Relying on a big sect in Lu County, he dares to make such a boast."

"Hasn't the governor always coveted the position of governor?" Chen Tong laughed, "Why are you suddenly as scared as a snake?"

"I can't, I can't." Liu Litao shook his head and sighed, "Chen Tong, we have worked together for so many years, you know me.

"As for me, I just want to have some ability to protect myself in this chaotic world, make some money to live, and I don't ask for any merit or fault from the people under my rule. I just want them to live and work in peace and contentment. I don't have any big pursuits.

"I wanted to be a governor before because I thought it would be safer. After all, if you control the military and political power of a state, your status is comparable to that of a king. Nothing can protect you better than this.

"But... last night I received an urgent report that Cao Quan, the governor of Fengzhou, was assassinated. This position is not easy to hold. Too many people are watching you, and it's not as safe as being a county governor." "

Being a county governor is not safe either." Chen Tong saw through Liu Litao's thoughts, "otherwise you wouldn't be so anxious to give up the position of governor. You didn't investigate further into things like being able to call the wind and rain and being a god."

"Hehe, didn't you see how many times the foreign affairs steward of the Tai Chong faction came to me?" Liu Litao laughed, "In addition to the Tai Chong faction, there are also several people from other counties who want to push a soft persimmon like me to the position of governor.

"Anyone who is a county magistrate will be regarded as someone who can compete for the position of governor, especially someone like me who is easy to control at first glance. I value my life and don't want to wade into this mess, so it's better to let that immortal take the position."

"In the past, these martial arts sects were not so enthusiastic about the position of governor." Chen Tong frowned, "Did something unexpected happen?"

"It's not an accident, it has always been like this since ancient times." Liu Litao shook his head and said, "There is a legend, I just remembered it last night. It is said that every hundred years, earth-shaking things will happen.

"And only the governor and the people at the level of the top inner scene can participate in this matter. The Tai Chong Sect, Tian Jian Sect, Pingchuan He Family who have come to me... these people are all local forces that do not have top power."

"Earth-shaking events? "Chen Tong fell into deep thought after hearing this, and said in a deep voice, "A hundred years ago, Xianxia Sect suddenly announced the closure of the mountain. Could it be related to this?"

"Xianxia Sect?" Liu Litao was stunned after hearing this, and smiled: "You can actually think of this, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed possible."

"If that's the case, it's really earth-shaking." Chen Tong seemed to be quite emotional.

He had a sister who was weak and sickly when she was young. She happened to be met by a passing disciple of Xianxia Sect, who took her in as a disciple.

After that, she would come back to visit her relatives every ten years.

Therefore, he knew much more about Xianxia Sect than others, and he knew how powerful the Hengxia Zhenren was a hundred years ago. It was really earth-shaking

that such a powerful Xianxia Sect could suddenly close its mountains, and even Hengxia Zhenren could not find his whereabouts. Liu Litao didn't know about this relationship and thought Chen Tong was just sighing, so he said, "It's better for us not to get involved in such a shocking thing." "That's true." Chen Tong nodded and agreed, "The hundred-year period is coming, and I'm afraid only gods can be the prefect." ... After experiencing the great harvest of scaring Zen Master Dekong. Cui Heng was planning to change the plan to deal with the Yan Wang army. Originally, he wanted to let the Yan Wang army come to Juhe County, and then use the same trick to call the wind and rain to harvest a lot of emotions. But now he has changed his mind. Compared to being directly destroyed by the storm, the emotions generated when facing things that cannot be understood are obviously stronger. "In this case, I don't need to wait for the Yan King's army to come. I can just go there directly." Cui Heng thought to himself. Although Xiling County is 500 miles away from Juhe County, for him who has already achieved the Golden Elixir, this distance is not even enough for a walk. After all, when he was in the Foundation Establishment Period, he could break through the sound barrier and fly through the air. However, before leaving, Cui Heng still had to meet Xu Bailu. This beautiful Taoist nun sent a visiting card this morning, wanting to invite him to have a meal at her residence at noon today. Near noon, Cui Heng came to the house where Xu Bailu and his two disciples lived. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong fragrance. It was the fragrance of food. However, after walking in, there was also a faint fragrance of a woman. Xu Bailu, Fang Min, and Zhou Caiwei were already waiting in the living room. When the three saw Cui Heng coming, they stood up and saluted. "Greetings, His Majesty." The three masters and apprentices had different styles, all of them were bright and beautiful. The Taoist priest with a noble temperament, the tall and beautiful woman who was well-educated, and the petite and lively girl all bowed to him. If an ordinary person saw such a scene, he would be at a loss on the spot. Cui Heng was certainly not an ordinary person. To some extent, he was no longer considered a human being. So he sat down without changing his expression. "What a rich table." Cui Heng looked at the dishes on the table. They were not local dishes of Juhe County, so he smiled and said to Xu Bailu, "Is it a specialty near Yuhua Sword Pavilion?" "It was made by Master himself!" Zhou Caiwei was straightforward and said directly, "Master made it with great care, I'm afraid you won't be satisfied." "Silly girl!" Xu Bailu cursed in his heart, glared at the little girl, and hurriedly said to Cui Heng, "Don't mind it, County Master, children like to talk nonsense." "It doesn't matter." Cui Heng smiled and said, "Eat, otherwise it will get cold and waste the Taoist's kindness." "Okay!" Zhou Caiwei couldn't wait to eat. Fang Min, who was standing aside, was still quiet and didn't say anything, because she knew that this lunch was not just for Cui Heng. Master had something important to say. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Xu Bailu suddenly stood up. She drank a little bit of wine, and her beautiful face flushed a little. She said to Cui Heng very respectfully: "Your Excellency, I am ashamed to say this, but I have a favor to ask of you..." (End of this chapter)
