Sima Zhuifeng, with a grim face and trembling all over, walked out of the Jishan Academy tremblingly. By the time he got on the carriage he came in and ordered to return to the prefectural mansion, his mood had calmed down and his face was as calm as usual, without any sign that he had just been pointed at and scolded by thousands of people in the academy.
"Trojan Horse Governor!" Sima Zhuifeng sat steadily in the carriage, holding a small teacup and sneering softly. A sharp light flashed in his clear eyes, and his whole body was covered by a layer of faint red light.
The high-temperature red light was like a layer of glass, clinging tightly to the surface of Sima Zhuifeng's body, without any temperature leaking out.
The red light was enough to melt gold and iron, and Sima Zhuifeng could control it so delicately and meticulously, which showed how amazing his cultivation was. If the representatives of the wealthy families who had scolded him and expelled him from the Jishan Academy saw his performance at this moment, I really don't know how many of them would have the courage to speak.
"Trojan Horse Governor!" The carriage drove away from the Jishan Academy. Sima Zhuifeng looked back at the gate of the academy, and the teacup in his hand, along with the tea and tea leaves, turned into a wisp of light smoke.
"Do you really think I'm a worthless piece of wood and clay? How could I, Sima Zhuifeng, humiliate the reputation of my Sima family?" Sima Zhuifeng chuckled a few times, suddenly closed his eyes, and shouted softly: "Old Wutou, take my name card, go to Fengyu Jiuchongguan, meet General Li, the 'open coffin', and ask him to dispatch troops into the city."
Outside the carriage, Sima Zhuifeng's personal steward, Lao Wutou, who was riding on a green horse and dressed in black and thin, nodded slightly, and his body swayed. A breeze blew towards him, and he flew up like a big kite. His figure suddenly became blurred in the air more than ten feet above the ground, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Yizhou was a newly established state more than a hundred years ago. Every inch of land in Yizhou was snatched by the ancestors of Yizhou from the remnants of the wild tribes, and every inch of soil is soaked in blood.
The Ten Thousand Wilds are boundless, and the remnants of the mountains are fierce, strange, and extremely difficult to deal with. Groups of remnant tribesmen often harass the prefectures and counties of Yizhou. At the beginning of the establishment of Yizhou, the newly opened prefectures and counties were always broken into and bloodbathed by the remnant tribesmen.
At the request of the previous governor of Yizhou, the Jin Dynasty court set up nine checkpoints in a row at the key place leading to the Shiwan Wilderness in Yizhou to prevent invasion by wild barbarians. Each of the nine checkpoints was guarded by a commander and a general with a miscellaneous title was in charge of the nine checkpoints, which were called "Nine-Layered Pass of Wind and Rain" by the people of Yizhou.
Fengyu Jiuchongguan is also the most powerful military presence of the Jin Dynasty in Yizhou. No matter the number of soldiers, the degree of eliteness, or the quality of equipment, it is far superior to the provincial troops under Sima Zhuifeng.
The soldiers are well-trained and have strong combat effectiveness. The garrison at Fengyu Jiuchongguan is directly under the jurisdiction of the Taiwei Mansion of the Dajin Dynasty and has no subordinate relationship with the government of Yizhou. All food, military pay, supplies, etc. are directly allocated by the Taiwei Mansion and directly deducted from the commercial tax, grain tax and various miscellaneous taxes in Yizhou City every year.
Sima Zhuifeng had no right to make decisions about the garrison at Fengyu Jiuchong Pass, but he dared to let his personal steward Lao Wutou go to Fengyu Jiuchong Pass to mobilize troops with his business card instead of his official document from the prefect. It can be seen that his influence on Fengyu Jiuchong Pass exceeded everyone's imagination.
"Trojan horse governor!" Sima Zhuifeng squinted his eyes and looked at the street scene outside the car window, smiling extremely coldly: "Since I am a wooden horse, you have no right to decide whether I should move or not! You can whip me, chop me with knives, but I am a wooden horse and I will not listen to you!"
After laughing a few times, Sima Zhuifeng flipped his hand and grabbed a bottle of grape wine produced in Ganzhou, Dajin from the secret compartment of the carriage. He took out a thumb-sized 'Five Stone Pill' with a golden color from his belt and threw it into the bottle, then shook the bottle vigorously a few times.
A wave of heat rushed out from Sima Zhuifeng's palm, wrapping around the wine bottle and smoking it. With his vigorous shaking, the Five Stone Pills were almost dissolved in the grape wine. A pungent aroma turned into billowing white mist and gushed out from the mouth of the bottle. He hurriedly opened his mouth and swallowed the white mist whole.
Sima Zhuifeng's fair face suddenly turned red. He held his breath and drank the grape wine mixed with the Five Stone Pill in big gulps. His face turned so red that it was about to bleed.
His pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip, Sima Zhuifeng's stomach rumbled like thunder, his internal organs were impacted by the medicinal power of the Five Stones Pill, and soon he was sweating profusely, forcing him to lift the curtains of the carriage.
The carriage was moving fast, and the cool breeze entered the carriage, blowing Sima Zhuifeng's head and clothes. He took off his robe, ripped open his clothes to reveal his bare chest. The cool breeze blew on his chest where sweat was constantly dripping, but Sima Zhuifeng still felt hot all over!
"Hiss! What a powerful medicinal power, it's more than three times stronger than the previous Five Stones Powder! The emperor's new recruits of alchemists are indeed quite capable!" Sima Zhuifeng shook his head slightly, and the scenery in front of him began to shake and blur. He laughed strangely for no apparent reason.
The current emperor of the Jin Dynasty wanted to live forever, so he ignored state affairs and spent all his time refining elixirs and taking medicines, which attracted many nobles and wealthy people in the Jin Dynasty to follow suit. Sima Zhuifeng was born in the Sima clan. Although he was far away in Qizhou, he could always get a copy of the most popular elixirs in the capital of the Jin Dynasty in time.
"It's worthy of being the elixir that the emperor spent a huge amount of money to refine, it's wonderful!" Sima Zhuifeng smiled in a daze, he only felt his abdomen burning like fire, his whole body seemed to be on fire, Wu Yuan was flowing rapidly in his body, at least twice as fast as his daily practice.
"We have to disperse the effect of the medicine quickly, disperse, disperse!" Sima Zhuifeng suddenly leaned out of the window and shouted to the driver: "Faster, faster, faster, faster, hurry back home!"
The medicinal power of the Five Stones Pill is extremely powerful. If you want to disperse its power, you either have to run naked in the snow in the cold winter, or you can only harmonize yin and yang and use the wonderful theory of yin and yang to harmonize the extremely overbearing pure yang energy in the body.
The speed of the carriage increased a bit. Sima Zhuifeng stuck his head out of the window, smiling silly and adorable as he looked at the scenery along the road.
Leaving the main road leading to Jishan Academy and turning a few corners, Sima Zhuifeng's procession turned onto the main road of Jizhou City. Sima Zhuifeng stuck his head out of the car window and stared blankly at the street scene. He suddenly frowned.
I don't know why, but today there are a lot more annoying people on the streets of Qizhou.
Groups of shirtless men, holding various crowbars and ropes in their hands, sat lazily under the eaves of houses on the street, laughing and telling obscene jokes unique to country folk.
In the small alleys beside the street, many city foxes and rats were poking their heads out, each with a sinister and treacherous sneer on their face.
There were several teams crowded on the street, and a large number of trucks were crowded together in a mess, blocking the road.
Sima Zhuifeng, who was in a hurry to return to the prefectural government, was blocked on the road. He immediately shouted angrily: "What's going on? Why is the road blocked? Tell them to get out of here!"
