Chapter 352 Governor of Kunyuan City
In the government office of Kunyuan City, Governor Zhang Yuanqing was sitting in the backyard, enjoying the moonlight wine and the massage service of the young and beautiful maid.
He was nearly fifty years old and approaching the age of retirement, but he could still get such a good job. It was an opportunity that could not be bought for money.
Who would have thought that a few years ago, Dachu would suddenly betray the Kunyuan Kingdom and launch troops brazenly. Even though he knew that the Yu Dynasty was taking care of him, he would go his own way. Directly occupy this small country sandwiched between the two dynasties.
As a native of the Kunyuan Kingdom, he was naturally the most suitable candidate to be sent as the interim governor.
Because it had only been occupied for a few years, Kunyuan had not yet been incorporated into Dachu's governance system. The governor had considerable power, and there was a lot of money to be made.
Thinking about it now, Zhang Yuanqing would sigh: The third princess is really his lucky star.
Why are you suddenly clamoring to take down Kunyuan Kingdom? Not even those Confucians can stop them.
You must know that there has been friction between Da Yu and Da Chu for a long time. The existence of Kunyuan City is beneficial and harmless to both countries and can alleviate the disputes.
It stands to reason that the bone that Da Chu gnawed was simply worthless, tasteless to eat, and a pity to throw away.
But the third princess, who was the young leader of the human sect and well-known on the list of geniuses of the human race, insisted on attacking. His Majesty and the queen favored her, so they finally sent out troops.
Why did this small country offend the third princess?
Zhang Yuanqing didn't know, nor did he care. His parents and family had long been sent to Yingdu to enjoy their blessings. Kunyuan City was his hometown, but he didn't care about the life or death of these people.
He has long been a native of Chu.
Zhang Yuanqing also has a clear idea of his own course of action. He was sent by Da Chu to maintain stability and was responsible for educating and disciplining the people. But when Kun Yuan was really stabilized, his role would of course be gone.
How to make money then?
Therefore, he turned a blind eye to the chaos in the slums, and even secretly colluded with the gangs, creating conditions for them to cause trouble from time to time.
There were one or two murders in March and May, which were innocuous. It showed that Kunyuan City still had many anti-people and impetuous people. He, Zhang Yuanqing, was still needed to take charge of the overall situation!
The only stumbling block is the Chu army stationed outside Kunyuan City, the general Yan Kai who conquered the north, Zhang Yuanqing thought.
That guy has a higher status than me. He confronts me every day and complains about his poor governance, which has caused the army to be stationed here all year round. Fortunately, the army could not enter the city, and he had no authority over his own functions.
He made a heavy coughing sound from his throat, and the girl who was pressing his feet immediately took out her handkerchief, unfolded it, and knelt beside him, holding it up.
"Bah!" Zhang Yuanqing spat into the maid's handkerchief and watched her hurriedly deal with it.
Not to mention, even though the people in the slums are so poor that they can't even afford shoes, they can still give birth to a few good girls, and the price is still cheap.
Zhang Yuanqing leaned back in his chair and sighed comfortably. , At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the door, and he sat up.
"That guy Liu Mang got it done so quickly? It's just nightfall."
It seemed that the Black Snake Gang had already arrested and looted the rich young man, so he had to tell him not to send ransom-demanding letters from Kunyuan City.
But as soon as Zhang Yuanqing stood up, he suddenly heard the sound of wind above his head, and then a huge pressure fell from the sky.
He didn't even raise his head, he was pushed directly back to the wicker chair! The wicker chair shook violently and almost tipped over.
He saw a tall woman wearing coarse clothes descending from the sky, holding a man in her right hand.
The monks invade!
Zhang Yuanqing was so frightened that his bones and muscles almost froze. He instinctively thought of going to Yan Kai outside the city for help, but he quickly realized: this ugly woman with red spots on her face was actually suspended in the air without any magic weapon.
He is a powerful person in the Immortal Realm!
For a moment, his consciousness was a little blurred. This must be sent by the Dayu Dynasty. Is Dayu crazy? ! This will really lead to an all-out war! Aren't they afraid of angering Dachu's ancestors? !
For a moment, Zhang Yuanqing's mind flashed like lightning, thinking about how he could ask this powerful man to spare his life.
There is a large army outside the city. As a general, Yan Kai has not reached the Immortal Realm, but with the army formation and the blessing of evil energy, he should be able to compete with the Immortal Realm under his leadership.
Yan Kai has to know! This guy will definitely rush in and start a fight with the immortal, and then he can save his life!
"Are you the Governor?"
The woman stood in front of Zhang Yuanqing. The other maids had already run away in fear. Zhang Yuanqing boldly looked up. This woman is tall, has clear and cold eyes, and her temperament does not match her appearance and dress at all.
He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Yes, the villain is the governor. If you don't kill me, immortal, I can surrender the entire city to you!"
Zhang Yuanqing didn't dare to look any further and fell to his knees with a plop.
"Send it up?" Li Luobing was puzzled.
"Yes, the villain can persuade all the troops outside the city to leave and let the immortal soldiers occupy Kunyuan City without bloodshed. As long as the immortal leaves the villain alive!"
"..." Li Luobing was silent, understanding what the governor meant. He thought he was sent by Dayu.
"May I have your name."
"The villain's name is Zhang Yuanqing."
"Da Chu sent someone like you to governor Kunyuan City? No wonder this kind of thing happens again."
Zhang Yuanqing was stunned, and just as he was thinking about what the immortal meant, he heard a plop, and the man who had been held by the immortal with his clothes was thrown in front of her.
Li Luobing turned the man over with his feet, revealing his rough face.
"Liu Mang?!" Zhang Yuanqing was shocked, how could it be Liu Mang? !
Didn't he go to rob the rich young man from outside?
With a bang, an idea exploded in his mind.
Liu Mang kicked the iron plate! He is not a rich man, he is a cultivator!
"This, isn't this a gangster from Kunyuan City! The villain has been looking for this gangster in recent years. Unfortunately, the people under him were ineffective and failed to arrest him and put him in jail."
"Thank you so much, Immortal. I kneel down to thank you, Immortal, for helping Kunyuan City get rid of a great harm!"
Zhang Yuanqing quickly kowtows and cleanses himself of this matter.
"But, how did I hear that you were also involved in this matter?"
"Uh..." Zhang Yuanqing instantly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, "False rumors, absolutely false rumors!"
"Take your people with me. I've killed all the Black Snake Gang members. Their bodies are everywhere around that inn."
"I'm here to report it to the official. I hope you can help me handle it."
Li Luobing had a joking smile on his face. To Zhang Yuanqing, it was just like the smile of a wild cat playing with the mouse under his paw.
"Okay, okay... it all depends on you, Immortal... I will take someone to deal with you right now..."
"Then this Liu Mang..."
"Tie him up," Li Luobing ordered. It didn't matter whether he killed this little guy or not, but she wanted to leave it to Ning Wuxie.
why? She doesn't know either.
Maybe he wanted to please Ning Wuxie...
That's right, I just wanted to take credit from him.
Li Luobing was exhausted and gave up the struggle in his heart.
Even though he knew there would be absolutely no results, Li Luobing still wanted to please him... just think of it as atonement for his past life.
Zhang Yuanqing hunched over and ran out, grabbing the hiding guards back with curses and scolding them, angrily scolding them for being idiots, how could an immortal run away from here?
The guard glanced at Li Luobing tremblingly before lowering his head and following Zhang Yuanqing's instructions to tie up the unconscious Liu Mang on the ground.
"Just two people will go! The rest follow me!" Zhang Yuanqing scolded, "You still dare to rob, you will risk your life!"
The guards didn't want to go out with Zhang Yuanqing, so they rushed to move Liu Mang.
"Young mistress, Old Leopard Head, you two go move it! Damn it, let Master Yan know and I'll kill you... What are you looking at? Go quickly!"
Xiao Sanzi and Lao Baotou nodded quickly, one suppressed Liu Mang, and the other went back to find a rope. Qi-training practitioners could be suppressed as long as they were tied firmly with a three-finger-thick hemp rope.
Zhang Yuanqing turned to Li Luobing with a flattering smile, but there was a trace of cold sweat on his forehead, "Immortal, shall we walk?"
"Let's go." Li Luobing said calmly, stepping forward.
Zhang Yuanqing took the opportunity to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
I don’t know if Xiao Sanzi and Lao Baotou understood his hint.
They are his confidants among the guards. They know that they have always been at odds with Yan Kai, and they will never call him Master Yan in private.
They should go to look for Yan Kai outside the city, right? As long as Yan Kai comes in, he can take advantage of the chaos to escape and return to Yingdu to deliver a message!
Zhang Yuanqing secretly took a look at Li Luobing. She was still expressionless, looking straight ahead, not knowing what she was thinking.
