Shi Yilun was shocked. The previous county governor had been in office for many years, but his usual sense of presence was very weak. Unexpectedly, he would be replaced by a new county governor quietly. He was still a young man, but soon he Then he said doubtfully, "It shouldn't be him. That guy is about the same age as me, and his strength is not as good as mine. Regardless of whether he has real power or not, the county governor is also a feudal official. No matter how deep his background is, he can't make a fortune." Sheriff, let’s play.”
“Of course it’s not possible in other counties, but this is Xingyun County, which is not a good place.” Shi Yuanhua’s eyes were deep, “But the Sheriff may indeed have other ideas. We should see you soon. I don’t believe that the new county governor really doesn’t care about anything.” Shi Yuanhua expected it to be true. The next day, an invitation was sent from the county governor’s mansion. It was sent to the Shi family's house, and the Huang family, Qian family and other major families in Starfall City also received the invitations.
On the evening of the next day, the patriarchs of several major families in Starfall City each took a few clan members into the county governor's mansion. In the palace, which was paved with gold and jade, all the fine wine and food were prepared. The old people in the county governor's mansion Guan He, a strong man in Dharmakaya Realm, had been waiting in the hall early.
Looking at Guan He standing with his hands hanging, Shi Yuanhua and others wanted to ask about the new county governor, but they did not dare to make the first move.
Gongsun Lan also came with people from the Shi family this time, her face full of curiosity. Over the years, the governor of Xingyun County and seven first-class cities including the Gongsun family to which she belongs , families with strong Dharma Body Realm leaders basically keep their interests to themselves. Once someone touches their interests, the seven major families will put aside their disputes and grudges and unite to safeguard their interests.
Soon, Zhou Xing came from the back of the palace, flanked by Chen Wenle and Chu Hen.
Zhou Xing walked straight to the main seat and sat down. He looked at everyone in the hall and said, "Everyone, you must also know that I am the new governor of Xingyun County, and I am Zhou Xing."
After the words fell, everyone stood up and said respectfully, "I have met the county guard."
Zhou Xing nodded, motioned for everyone to sit down, and then smiled and said, "Xingyun City can develop You all have contributed a lot to getting to where we are today. I checked the data from previous years and found that the annual tax revenue of Starfall City is over 20,000 top-grade spiritual crystals, which is the highest in Starfall County and far exceeds that of other cities. However, I heard that in Starfall County. The seven first-class cities are not as prosperous as our Starfall City, but the Sheriff’s Mansion only receives about 10,000 top-grade spiritual crystals every year. Why do you still ask for your advice?”
Hearing this, Shi Yuanhua and others knew that the new county governor was going to be a big deal, and they thought to themselves, you don't know the reason why you still come to ask us.
But no one picked him up. He only heard Shi Yuanhua say, "Go back to the county guard. I don't know why. Our Shi family still has some strength in Starfall City. After leaving Starfall City, , especially in the other seven first-class cities."
"Our Huang family is the same."
Zhou Xing listened to the answers from Shi Yuanhua and others. , nor angry.
He has come step by step from a civilian handyman to where he is today. The accumulated experience is enough to stabilize his emotions..
Pictures of trivial matters from the past appeared in my mind one by one.
Back then, he also faced one very urgent problem after another. For example, the six red fruits given to him by Wang Tian were a big trouble. Many cultivators from a distance looked at him with eyes full of greed, and looked into his eyes unabashedly, and the meaning in them was full of threats. .
He smiled bitterly. He explained that his current situation was like a child walking in a busy market holding gold. Everyone hasn't rushed up to snatch his red fruits yet, that's because it's broad daylight now, in public, and these six red fruits were given by Wang Tian.
He himself knew that if he didn't handle it well, he might be dead the next day
He really wanted to eat one and try to see if he could absorb the spiritual energy, but The cultivator needs to be more attentive to move the energy and absorb the spirit, especially when he is not proficient at all at the beginning, he does not want to go crazy.
At this moment, a young cultivator in a brown robe who looked to be under thirty years old stood out from the crowd and walked towards him step by step. Come.
Zhou Xing recognizes him, and everyone in Hongdu College recognizes him. This young man is one of the three heroes of Hongdu.
Zhao Yu from Zhaojun in Jizhou
< p>If Zhang Bu is the best swordsman among the three masters of Hongdu, then Zhao Yu is the best in talismans among the three masters of Hongdu. Dean Shen Xiu values Zhao Yu the most and often says that Zhao Yu's talent in talismans ranks among the top three among all the cultivators he has ever seen.The most popular saying about the Three Heroes in Hongdu College is Zhang Bu’s sword, Zhao Yu’s talisman, and Chen Rong’s mouth.
"Hello." Zhao Yu's figure is much smaller than Zhang Bu's, "I am Zhao Yu, what is your name?"
"Are you The second cultivator asked me my name. "Zhou Xing smiled. He suddenly thought of what to do with these Zhu Guo, "My name is Zhou Xing."
"Zhou is Zhou Xing. The line is Zhou Xing's line." There was a hint of joking expression on Zhao Yu's face.
"Zhou is indeed Zhou Xing's Zhou, and Xing is indeed Zhou Xing's Xing." Zhou Xing smiled. He felt that the three heroes of Hongdu named Zhao Yu were comparable to the Hongdu named Zhang Bu. Du Sanjie is much more interesting.
"Oh, then I want to see if you, the person named Zhou Xing, is Zhou Xing." Zhao Yu also smiled, very naturally, "You have encountered trouble, you have encountered It's a big deal."
"I know this." Zhou Xing looked relaxed as he thought of a solution, "It seems that Brother Zhao has thought of a way to help me solve the problem."
There was a look of surprise on Zhao Yu's face, "You are very interesting, I like you very much."
"You are the second person today to say that I am interesting."
"It seems that my judgment is correct. Zhang Bu did defeat Wang Tianci after receiving advice from outsiders." Zhao Yu's cultivation was not yet able to hear clearly among so many noisy voices at the time, and he deliberately lowered his voice. Zhou Xing’s voice,But he has been an extremely smart person who pays special attention to details since he was a child.
The science of talismans originally requires practitioners to have more brainpower.
He paused and his expression became solemn, "It seems that Wang Tianci is talking to you because you pointed out Zhang Bu. This is really unbelievable."
Zhou Xing didn't want to admit this. He suddenly felt that there were too many smart people in the world. "Who knows, maybe I accidentally brought some dust to the prince's brocade robe when I was sweeping the floor."< /p>
Zhao Yu laughed loudly and stopped continuing the topic, "Seeing that you are so relaxed, you must have thought of a way to solve this Zhu Guo, why don't we play a game. I have two here Paper, let’s each write down our methods on the paper, and then compare them to see whose method is better.”
Zhou Xing didn’t speak, but just stretched out his hand. Zhao Yu gave him a piece of paper and a pen. He took it, put the paper in his left palm, picked up the pen in his right hand, and started writing. Seeing him like this, the other party quickly started writing. The two of them finished writing quickly. After looking at each other, they turned the papers towards each other at the same time. They saw that the same sentence was written on both papers and handed them to the dean.
"Hahahaha," Zhao Yu laughed happily and patted Zhou Xing on the shoulder, looking like a close friend, "It's a pity that you are not a cultivator, otherwise I would be happy to have a friend like you. "What happened to the common people, what happened to the cultivators," Zhou Xing said. He came from another world, where equality and freedom for everyone has become a world trend, and he couldn't stand the hierarchical structure of this world. , finally met a good-looking cultivator to chat with, and he spoke quickly according to the thinking of that world, "It's like what's wrong with low-grade cultivators, what's wrong with Zhou high-grade cultivators, aren't they all born to parents?" And it can guarantee that you will definitely become a cultivator when you are born, so you must be talented in cultivation. Everyone should be born equal."
Zhao Yu's expression became solemn when he heard his words. Xiangcai looked at his eyes carefully and said slowly but seriously, "Although Da Jin never gets guilty for his words, if the people in the court heard what you just said, they would definitely think it was treason. There is order from top to bottom and strict hierarchy. This is the foundation of Dajin."
After finishing speaking, he paused, patted his shoulder again, and said in a different tone, "People should be born equal. "I personally like it very much. Let's go, I'll take you to the dean." Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yu shouted to the crowd of people watching, "This person is going to leave." Leave Zhu Guo to the dean."
As soon as Wang Tianci entered Hongdu College, Shen Xiu secretly observed the whole thing. He was another person who clearly heard Zhou Xing giving Zhang Bu swordsmanship.
Shen Xiu is a person with a photographic memory.
He can be sure that this busboy sweeping the floor was an ordinary busboy in his Hongdu College. When he became the dean of Hongdu College, this person was here. He immediately found the steward responsible for managing these handymen., and asked the steward to find Zhou Xing's files. What made him even more interested was that this person's file was actually classified.
When he saw that the handyman's file was stamped with the word "secret", the steward rubbed his chest in surprise. Eyes, I suspected that I had seen wrongly. This person is just a handyman
But the manager is a rigorous person. Since it is a document with a "secret" font size, it must follow the procedures for a "secret" font size document. Just watch him carefully open the file bag and take out the loan details first. When he saw that no one had borrowed the history on it, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. First, Shen Xiu carefully filled in the name and date, and then took out the file and handed it to Shen Xiu. But he didn't leave until Shen Xiu finished reading it and handed it back to him. Then he carefully put it into the file bag, then saluted, and then left Shen Xiu's room.
This young man was sent in to become a registered servant thirteen years ago. At that time, the person in charge of personnel was not the steward just now. Who sent him in, and who decided to assign the "secret" font size to this boy's file?
It's really strange.
Hongdu College is not an ordinary place. Most of the handymen here are able to get in through connections. Shen Xiu knows this well. Among the first batch of people who came in, many were the descendants of the cultivators who had died in the battle to quell the Liangzhou rebellion with the bandit general Ma Long. But very few entered later.
Shen Xiu is an extremely rigorous thinker. When he encounters problems, he usually tries his best to solve problems.
The column on this young man’s file indicating whether he has cultivation talent is blank. The person who said he was sent in just found a job for him to settle down.
But this young man's talent in swordsmanship is so outstanding. No, Shen Xiu immediately changed a word in his mind, shocking
In Shen Xiu's eyes, Zhang Bu's swordsmanship was astonishing. That's enough. With Zhang Bu's foundation in swordsmanship, as long as he practices on the battlefield for a year and a half, he will definitely be able to reach a higher level, and he will be considered the best in swordsmanship in the entire empire.
But this young man, as a civilian, has no access to systematic training and teaching. At most, he can only observe the swordsmanship practices of the students in the academy every day.
If it is possible to give advice to a practitioner like Zhang Bu who has been immersed in swordsmanship for almost thirty years through observation, then what kind of talent is this? Don’t the people who came in with this young man know?
Maybe this young man has no cultivation talent at all. No matter how great his swordsmanship talent is, it has no value at all.
I am afraid that this young man has no talent at all. You don’t have any talent for cultivation, right?
Shen Xiu thinks this inference should be fact.
It was a pity that he had such a shocking swordsmanship talent. He shook his head and felt very sorry in his heart. If you cannot become a cultivator, you cannot cultivate your body. Regardless of strength and speed, the gap between civilians and cultivators is even greater than the gap between children and adults. No matter how goodSwordsmanship is useless in the face of absolute power and speed.
Just like Zhang Bu defeated Wang Tianci, he relied on strength to suppress him
One force can defeat ten.
There are so many types of talented people in history who have amazing talents in many aspects, but they are buried in the long river of history just because they cannot cultivate. The gap between cultivators and non-cultivation is an insurmountable gap.
But, no matter what, Zhang Bu defeated Wang Tianci
This is very important.
Even though Wang Tianci, Zhang Bu and even some people who were observing secretly knew that Zhang Bu was guided by others to win Wang Tianci, Wang Tianci admitted his failure in public
This is irreversible
What kind of demeanor does the family have?
In fact, Shen Xiu has always been very dissatisfied with the elegant demeanor among aristocratic families. He feels that this kind of thing is fake and false. , very unnecessary. But at this moment, he had to be thankful that Wang Tianci's demeanor was really like the two three gentlemen in his family.
If Wang Tianci asked Zhang Bu to start over again on the pretext of someone pointing him out, Shen Xiu knew in her heart that Zhang Bu could not defeat Wang Tianci. This battle finally forced Wang Tianci to compete with Zhang Bu in terms of strength. It was very accidental. With Wang Tianci's understanding of swordsmanship, another fight would definitely avoid this situation happening again.
Fortunately, this result is the best for Shen Xiu.
The family has always been opposed to Hongdu College. The deposed prince Huangfu Yu has always had close contacts with the aristocratic family, and his thoughts and speeches reveal a strong preference for the aristocratic family.
Queen Jia Zhi insisted on supporting Hongdu College.
These things may not be understood at all by many practitioners in the Jin Dynasty, but to the politicians in Shangluo, these are like lice on a bald man's head, so obvious.
Many people say that the current emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Huangfu Zhong, finally came to power because of his son. This seems to be a consensus among everyone in the Jin Dynasty. But Shen Xiu didn't think so. ,Please remember:,Free fastest update No anti-theft No anti-theft
