Chapter 41 Qingyun

"According to the intelligence of the mission, our target this time is a base of the White Lotus Sect in Qingyun County. Although the highest realm is only the peak of the Tongmai Realm, due to the large number of people, I am not 100% sure alone!"

After Lu Yun did not object, Xiao Chen directly told the content of the mission.

"Do you need to make other preparations?" Lu Yun said.

Xiao Chen touched the blue sword in his hand and said lightly: "One sword per person!"

"Okay, wait a moment."

After speaking, Lu Yun turned and went in. After a few breaths, he came out again. However, compared with before, there was an extra knife on his body.

After leaving the valley where the elite disciples lived, the two reported to the Internal Affairs Hall of the Martial Academy.

Martial Academy disciples need to report when leaving the Martial Academy. Lu Yun and the others had to leave because of the mission, and the elders in charge of the disciples' affairs did not ask, but simply made a simple registration.

Qingyun County is one of the thirteen counties under Lingwu County. It is located south of the county city and north of Yunshui County.

Although it is not very far, it still takes more than half a month.

In order to hurry, the two of them first went to the county town to buy two horses, and then they set off.

It took about ten days.

Lu Yun and Xiao Chen finally arrived in Qingyun County.

Like Yunshui County, the highest official of the court here is the county magistrate. As soon as they entered the county town, they went straight to the county government office.

After showing their identity tokens, the doorkeeper was immediately shocked and woke up, and immediately invited Lu Yun and Xiao Chen in.

Just after entering the government office, before they sat down, the Qingyun County magistrate came out to meet them.

"I am Zhao Wuji, and I have not yet asked for the names of the two martial arts academy geniuses!"

"Feiling Martial Academy Xiao Chen!"

"Feiling Martial Academy Lu Yun!"

Lu Yun and Xiao Chen bowed at the same time!

While speaking, Lu Yun also looked at the Qingyun County magistrate in front of him.

On the way here, Xiao Chen told Lu Yun all the information related to the secondary task, including the Qingyun County magistrate, the county lieutenant, and the family power of Qingyun County.

Zhao Wuji, a member of the Zhao family of Gusu County in Lingzhou, is now in the late stage of the True Qi Realm.

Five years ago, he was appointed as the county magistrate of Qingyun County. Under his drastic reform, Qingyun County changed the situation of numerous mountains and even the families that were fighting endlessly before stopped fighting and lived a stable life.

It must be said that Zhao Wuji has made great efforts to maintain such a peaceful and stable situation in Qingyun County.

In this regard, Lu Yun also secretly admired the other party's skills.

It is impossible not to be convinced. It is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress a local snake. Even if it is a big family in the county city, it is not easy to open up the situation in an unfamiliar place.

However, Zhao Wuji was able to suppress all forces, as stable as Mount Tai, and govern Qingyun County obediently, which is admirable.

When Lu Yun was looking at Zhao Wuji, Zhao Wuji was also looking at Xiao Chen and Lu Yun.

Both Xiao Chen and Lu Yun looked too young, even though they looked much older than their actual age for some reason.

Xiao Chen was better, his cold temperament made him look a little more mature

And Lu Yun, although tall and strong, could not hide the immaturity on his face.

After just a moment of observation, Zhao Wuji retracted his gaze, smiled, and laughed: "It turned out to be Mr. Xiao and Mr. Lu from the Martial Academy. It is an honor for Qingyun County and for me that you two can condescend to come here."

"Let's do this. The two gentlemen have worked hard all the way. I will set up a banquet in Mingyue Tower to entertain you two."

After that, he called out to the outside of the door: "Come here!"

"Sir!"

The servant outside the door responded and came in.

"Notify Mingyue Tower to host a banquet tonight. I will entertain the two young geniuses from the Martial Academy!"

"No, Junior Brother Lu and I have important matters to attend to. We cannot afford to delay for a moment. We are here to understand some situations. Of course, we also need some help from Qingyun County."

Xiao Chen stopped the attendant who was about to leave and turned to Zhao Wuji.

If this matter was not special and involved a wide range of people, he and Lu Yun would have gone to their destination.

He had no intention of dealing with Zhao Wuji, a veteran official.

Hearing this, Zhao Wuji frowned slightly, and the smile on his face faded a little. He said sincerely: "Since you two have important matters, you can't delay. I just don't know if there is anything I need. If so, I will do my best to cooperate!"

Seemingly very satisfied with the other party's attitude, Xiao Chen's cold face was restrained a little, and he said lightly:

"According to the intelligence description of the academy, the White Lotus Sect has been very active in recent days, especially in Qingyun County, and has frequently linked up with those mountain bandit forces, and it is even very likely to develop it into a stronghold!"

"Huh!?" Zhao Wuji's forehead was almost twisted into a river shape.

"There is such a thing, and I have never noticed it."

"The White Lotus Sect acts secretly, and it is normal for Lord Zhao not to notice it for a while, but since I let the martial arts academy know its whereabouts, let it be destroyed in the bud."

At the end, Xiao Chen's handsome face rarely showed a hint of murderous intent.

Although this murderous intent was fleeting, Lu Yun still noticed it.

After he had mastered the Seven Killing Sword Technique, his control and use of murderous aura was further improved, and he was more sensitive to killing intent. Naturally, he could easily detect Xiao Chen's fleeting killing intent.

"This guy has a story!"

Lu Yun glanced at Xiao Chen inconspicuously, and his face looked strange. At the same time, a love-hate story with hundreds of thousands of words appeared in his mind.

Zhao Wuji's smile disappeared completely, and his face became solemn.

"Since it is the intelligence of the martial arts academy, it must be true."

After saying that, his face became serious.

"Come here!"

"What do you want, sir?"

The servant who was stopped by Xiao Chen just now stood up at the right time.

"Pass on my order and ask Captain Wang to come here immediately."

"Yes!"

The servant took the order and left.

After the servant left, Zhao Wuji smiled again: "Two young masters, please follow me to the inner hall. When Captain Wang arrives, let him tell you about the situation of the mountain bandits in Qingyun County!"

"Okay."

...

Not long after.

In the inner hall of the government office, a tall, serious-looking, middle-aged man who looked a little older stepped in with a sword.

"Lord Zhao!"

"Captain Wang is here, please take a seat!"

Captain Wang nodded slightly to Xiao Chen and Lu Yun and sat down dignifiedly.

Zhao Wuji then introduced: "This is our Captain Wang from Qingyun County, who is steady and experienced."

He then said: "These two are the geniuses from Feiling Martial Academy, Master Xiao and Master Lu. They came to Qingyun County this time for the White Lotus Sect, and they may need your help."

"Master Xiao, Master Lu, if you have anything you need to know, you can ask Captain Wang."

After getting Zhao Wuji's assurance, Xiao Chen and Lu Yun also cast their eyes on this Captain Wang.

When the other party just came in, Lu Yun felt a strong murderous aura, from which it can be seen that this Captain Wang has a lot of blood on his hands.
