Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 43: Zhenjiang City
While Lu Qingshan was talking to Lin Yao.
With the help of the power of the formation, Lin He has captured the remaining eight monster hunters.
Seeing Lu Qingshan talking to his young lady, Lin He was also very tactful and waited quietly by the side.
"Fellow Daoist Lu." Finally, after Lu Qingshan and Lin Yao finished their conversation, Lin He came over and interrupted.
Lin He handed over a box made of sandalwood.
Lu Qingshan took it, opened it and saw five third-grade spirit stones inside.
Lin He explained: "Don't misunderstand, Fellow Daoist Lu. Five third-grade spirit stones are not enough to repay Fellow Daoist Lu for saving my life. These spirit stones are given as a reward for Fellow Daoist Lu to escort my Lin family's convoy to Zhenjiang City."
After the fight just now, Lin He was now very clear about Lu Qingshan's strength.
There is still a long way to go. If they encounter monsters on the way , they will have to rely on Lu Qingshan.
However, considering Lu Qingshan's cultivation level, the reward of thirty first-grade spirit stones seemed too meager.
Lu Qingshan understood and did not accept Lin He's kindness. He returned the sandalwood box and said, "Since I have accepted the mission you issued in the Monster Hunting Alliance, escorting the convoy to Zhenjiang City is my job. There is no need to pay me any extra money."
Seeing that Lu Qingshan was unwilling to accept the spirit stones, Lin He did not dare to force him and could only put the sandalwood box back into his storage bag.
Lu Qingshan glanced at the situation on the field.
Considering the serious shortage of manpower in the convoy, if too many prisoners were left behind, they would not be able to be managed.
So Lin He showed no mercy. Of the remaining eight monster hunters, only Ma Shan and Liu Ai were left behind, and the rest were all turned into ashes under the fire snake formation.
Ma Shan and Liu Ai will be kept as witnesses.
The Ma family is secretly colluding with Ma Yuan, who is a master of refining evil poison. If this matter is proven, the Ma family will certainly cease to exist.
The night passed quickly.
Although the number of monks in the Lin family convoy was reduced by half after this incident, the remaining monks were basically injured.
But the convoy still had to continue heading towards Zhenjiang City.
Fortunately, that swordsman is here.
The monks of the Lin family thought of this and looked cautiously at Lu Qingshan who was sitting on a large cart transporting goods.
I suddenly felt a lot more at ease.
Lu Qingshan leaned against the cart, dozing off with his eyes slightly closed.
Seeing this, the entire convoy consciously reduced the noise a little, for fear of disturbing Lu Qingshan.
This is a kind of respect for the strong.
…
Yuanshan Building.
The building owner Tan Tai Qingrun, the deputy building owner Jiang Rong and the heads of various departments of Yuanshan Building gathered together.
Two days have passed since the battle at the City Lord's Mansion.
Given the efficiency of Yuanshan Tower and their influence in Yuanshan City, two days are enough for them to settle accounts with all the underworld forces involved in this matter.
"Wanbao Tower, Ku Mansion, Disha Pavilion,... and the City Lord's Mansion, these are the forces of the Underworld in Yuanshan City." Jiang Rong reported to Tan Tai Qingrun who was sitting on the main throne.
Jiang Rong's eyes were grim. "We have already sent monks to the door and have taken down all these forces. The people in charge are now detained in the prison department and are being interrogated by the monks of the prison department. In a day or two, there should be a result. Anyone who has colluded with the underworld will not be able to escape."
"The underworld has infiltrated so deeply that it has involved nearly one-third of the cultivator forces in my Yuanshan City!" Tan Tai Qingrun snorted coldly.
The monks from Yuanshan Tower on the scene fell silent and dared not say more.
Among the 108 county cities in the Zhenjiang Prefecture, Yuanshan City must be the city where the underworld has invested the most resources .
Otherwise, the underworld would not have chosen Yuanshan City as the site of operation and led Qi Yuan to Yuanshan City.
"What's going on over at the blood pool?" Tan Tai Qingrun raised his eyebrows and asked.
Soon, the middle-aged male cultivator in charge of this matter stood up and replied, "Don't worry, Boss. After Senior breaks the illusion array, we will completely destroy the blood pool."
Tan Tai Qing Run nodded and turned to look at Jiang Rong: "Jiang Rong, you should quickly interrogate these cultivators involved in the power, and don't let any guilty person go."
"Yes, host!"
"Okay, let's stop here for today."
"Yes!" replied the monk from Yuanshan Tower.
Soon, the monks from Yuanshan Tower on the field retreated one after another.
Only Tan Tai Qingrun was left.
Tan Tai Qingrun took out a blank jade slip, probed his spiritual consciousness into it, thought for a while, and finally recorded the whole story of the battle in Yuanshan City Lord's Mansion in the jade slip.
But Lu Qingshan’s name did not appear among them.
After recording, Tan Tai Qing Run seemed to have thought of something else. After hesitating for a moment, she added a short paragraph in the jade slip: "The Lord of Yuanshan City is from the underworld. The infiltration of the underworld into our human race is obvious. It is recommended to investigate the high-level officials of each city of the human race to prevent such absurd things from happening again."
After adding this, Tan Tai Qingrun nodded with satisfaction, called the black-robed monk who was waiting outside the door, and handed the jade slip to him.
"Send it to Zhenjiang Tower as soon as possible." Tan Tai Qingrun ordered.
Just as Zhenjiang City governs 108 county cities, Zhenjiang Tower is the superior of these county city branches and governs them.
The battle of Yuanshan City is such an important matter that the whole story must be reported to Zhenjiang Tower.
"Wait..." Seeing the black-robed monk turning around and leaving with the jade tablet, Tan Tai Qingrun felt something in his heart and called out to the black-robed monk again.
"Jiang Rong has outstanding abilities and is loyal to the human race. He is capable of taking on great responsibilities!" After taking the jade slip back from the black-robed monk, Tan Tai Qingrun added this sentence on the jade slip.
Tan Tai Qingrun naturally understood the magnitude of the contribution this time, and she also knew that she would definitely be promoted after this.
Now that I have been promoted, the position of the owner of Yuanshan Tower will be vacant.
Although she has only worked with Jiang Rong for three years, Tan Tai Qingrun is well aware of Jiang Rong's abilities and character. She also believes that Jiang Rong can maintain the current good situation in Yuanshan City.
Therefore, she also wanted to help Jiang Rong as much as possible.
With his recommendation, Jiang Rong's promotion to the position of the head of Yuanshan Tower is probably, if not 100%, a sure thing.
As for myself.
Tan Tai Qing Run smiled slightly.
She is now the owner of Yuanshan Tower. If she is promoted further, where else can she go except to be transferred to Zhenjiang Tower?
…
In the wilderness, the Lin family convoy.
For the next few days, everything seemed very peaceful.
For the Lin family cultivators, nothing happening is a good thing.
Because sudden incidents in the wilderness involve too many variables, not only can they cause trouble, they may also lead to death.
So, when the Lin family's convoy arrived near Zhenjiang City, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this point, Lu Qingshan was about to part ways with the Lin family convoy.
The Lin family convoy was heading to Huoyun Peak, which was a hundred miles away from Zhenjiang City.
Huoyun Peak is where the Lin family of Zhenjiang City is located.
Lu Qingshan’s destination was Zhenjiang City.
"This is the voucher. Mr. Lu can use it to go to the Monster Hunting Alliance to settle the mission." Lin Yao handed a jade slip to Lu Qingshan.
Afterwards, Lin Yao hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips and said, "Although my Lin family is a small family, we still have the principle of repaying kindness. I cannot repay Mr. Lu for saving my life. If Mr. Lu needs anything in the future, please feel free to ask for it."
Lu Qingshan chuckled and replied, "Of course."
"If Miss Lin encounters any trouble, you can come to Zhenjiang City to find me. I will be in Zhenjiang City during this period of time." Before leaving, Lu Qingshan said this to Lin Yao.
Looking at Lu Qingshan's departing back.
Lin Yao frowned.
Lu Qingshan's words seemed to be just an ordinary courtesy.
But for some reason, when she thought of the look in Lu Qingshan's eyes when he said this, she always felt that there was some deeper meaning in it.
It was as if Lu Qingshan had determined that she would get into some trouble.
