Chapter 352: Governor of Kunyuan City
In the government office of Kunyuan City, Governor Zhang Yuanqing was sitting in the backyard, enjoying the moonlight, fine wine, and massages from beautiful young maids.
He was nearly fifty years old, and at the age of retirement, he could still get such a good job. It was a priceless opportunity.
Who would have thought that a few years ago, Da Chu suddenly broke off relations with Kunyuan and launched a military campaign, even though it knew that the Great Yu Dynasty was behind it. It directly occupied this small country that was sandwiched between the two dynasties.
As a native of Kunyuan, he was naturally the most suitable person to be sent as the temporary governor.
Because it had only been occupied for a few years, Kunyuan had not yet been incorporated into the governance system of Da Chu, and the governor had great power, so there was a lot of money to be made.
Thinking about it now, Zhang Yuanqing had to sigh: The third princess was really his lucky star.
Why did they suddenly shout and make a fuss about taking over Kunyuan? Even those Confucianists couldn't stop them.
You know, there has been friction between Dayu and Dachu for a long time. The existence of Kunyuan City is beneficial to both countries and can ease the dispute.
In theory, the bone that Dachu has gnawed is simply chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and a pity to abandon.
But the third princess, who is a small leader of the human clan and a well-known figure on the list of human race geniuses, insisted on attacking. His Majesty and the Queen favored her, and finally sent troops to kill her.
How did this small country offend the third princess?
Zhang Yuanqing didn't know and didn't care. His parents and family had been sent to Yingdu to enjoy their lives. Kunyuan City was his hometown, but he didn't care about the lives of these people.
He had long been a Dachu person.
Zhang Yuanqing also knew his own course of action. He was sent by Dachu to maintain stability and was responsible for educating and disciplining the people. When Kunyuan was really stabilized, his role would of course be gone.
Then how to make money?
Therefore, he turned a blind eye to the chaos in the slums, and even secretly colluded with the gangs to create conditions for them to make trouble from time to time.
There were one or two murders in March and May, which were harmless, indicating that Kunyuan City still had many anti-people people and people were restless, and he still needed Zhang Yuanqing to take charge of the overall situation!
The only stumbling block was the Da Chu army stationed outside Kunyuan City, the general Yan Kai, Zhang Yuanqing thought.
That guy was higher in status than himself, and he was against him every day, complaining that he was not good at governance, causing the army to be stationed here all year round. Fortunately, the army could not enter the city, and he had no right to govern his own functions.
He made a heavy coughing sound in his throat, and the little girl who was massaging his feet immediately took out her handkerchief and unfolded it, kneeling beside him and holding the handkerchief high.
"Bah!" Zhang Yuanqing spat into the maid's handkerchief and watched her hurriedly take the handkerchief to deal with it.
It's true that although those 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 cheap.
Zhang Yuanqing leaned back in his chair and sighed comfortably. Just then, there was a sudden noise at the door, and he sat up.
"Did Liu Mang get it done so quickly? It's just night."
It seems that the Black Snake Gang has already captured the rich young master and plundered him. He has to go and tell him not to send the ransom letter from Kunyuan City.
But Zhang Yuanqing just stood up and suddenly heard the sound of wind above his head, and then a huge pressure came down from the sky.
He didn't even raise his head, and was directly pressed back to the rattan chair! The rattan chair shook violently and almost turned over.
He saw a tall woman in coarse cloth servant's clothes falling from the sky, holding a man in her right hand.
Monk invasion!
Zhang Yuanqing was so scared that his bones and muscles almost froze. He instinctively thought of going outside the city to find Yan Kai for help, but he quickly realized that this ugly woman with red spots on her face was actually floating in the air without any magic weapon.
It's a great man in the realm of immortals!
For a moment, his consciousness was a little scattered. This must be sent by the Great Yu Dynasty. Is the Great Yu crazy? ! This will really lead to an all-out war! Aren't they afraid of angering the ancestors of the Great Chu? !
For a moment, Zhang Yuanqing's mind flashed like lightning, thinking about how to ask this great man to spare his life.
There is a large army outside the city. Although Yan Kai, as a general, has not reached the realm of immortals, he should be able to compete with the realm of immortals by leading the entire army with the army formation and the blessing of evil spirit.
Let Yan Kai know! This guy will definitely rush in and fight the immortals, and then he can save his life!
"Are you the governor?"
The woman stood in front of Zhang Yuanqing. The other maids had already been scared away. Zhang Yuanqing dared to look up. The woman was tall, with clear and cold eyes. Her temperament and appearance were completely inconsistent with her dress.
He felt a sense of familiarity in his heart, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
"Yes, I am the governor. Immortal, please don't kill me. I can hand over the whole city to you!"
Zhang Yuanqing didn't dare to look at it any more, and fell to his knees with a plop.
"Hand over?" Li Luobing was puzzled.
"Yes, I can persuade all the troops outside the city to leave, so that the immortal can occupy Kunyuan City without bloodshed, as long as the immortal spares my life!"
"..." Li Luobing was silent, and he understood what the governor meant. He thought he was sent by Dayu.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Zhang Yuanqing."
"Da Chu sent you to govern Kunyuan City? No wonder this happened."
Zhang Yuanqing was stunned. Just as he was thinking about what the immortal meant, he heard a plop, and the man who had been held by the immortal by his clothes was thrown in front of him.
Li Luobing turned the man over with his foot, 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 master from outside?
With a bang, an idea exploded in his mind.
Liu Mang hit the wall! He is not a mortal rich man, but a cultivator!
"This, this is not the gangster of Kunyuan City! I have been looking for this beast in recent years, but unfortunately my subordinates are not doing their job well and failed to arrest him and put him in jail."
"Thank you, immortal, I kneel down to thank you, for helping Kunyuan City get rid of a big disaster!"
Zhang Yuanqing kowtowed quickly and cleared himself of the matter.
"But, how come I heard that you were involved in this?"
"Uh..." Zhang Yuanqing felt like she was falling into an ice cave, "It's a lie, absolutely a lie!"
"Take your people with me, I killed all the people from the Black Snake Gang, and their bodies are everywhere around the inn."
"I'm going to report to the police, I hope you can help me deal with it."
Li Luobing showed a playful smile on his face, which in Zhang Yuanqing's view was just like the smile of a wild cat playing with a mouse under its palm.
"Okay, okay... I'll listen to you... I'll take people to deal with it with you..."
"Then this Liu Mang..."
"Tie him up," Li Luobing gave orders. It didn't matter whether this little guy was killed or not, but she wanted to let Ning Wuxie deal with it.
Why? She didn't know.
Maybe she wanted to please Ning Wuxie...
Yes, she just wanted to take credit from him.
Li Luobing gave up struggling in her heart.
Even though she knew there would be no result, Li Luobing wanted to please him... Just as a way to atone for her past life.
Zhang Yuanqing ran out with his body bent, and pulled and scolded the guards who were hiding, and angrily scolded them for being stupid. The immortal is here, how can you run away?
The guards looked at Li Luobing tremblingly and lowered their heads, listening to Zhang Yuanqing's instructions to tie up the unconscious Liu Mang on the ground.
"Two people are enough! The rest follow me!" Zhang Yuanqing scolded, "You dare to rob, you are going to die!"
The guards didn't want to go out with Zhang Yuanqing, and they all rushed to move Liu Mang.
"Xiao Sanzi, Lao Baotou, you two go and move it! Damn it, if Lord Yan knows, he will chop you off... What are you looking at, go!"
Xiao Sanzi and Lao Baotou nodded quickly, one pressed Liu Mang, and the other went back to find a rope. For a cultivator in the Qi training realm, as long as he was tied tightly with a hemp rope three fingers thick, he could also be suppressed.
Zhang Yuanqing turned to Li Luobing with a flattering smile, but there was a trace of cold sweat on his forehead, "Immortal, let's go?"
"Let's go." Li Luobing said lightly, and walked in front.
Zhang Yuanqing took the opportunity to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
I don't know if Xiao Sanzi and Lao Baotou understood my hint.
They are my confidants among the guards. They know that I have always been at odds with Yan Kai, and they will never call him Lord Yan in private.
They should go outside the city to find Yan Kai, right? As long as Yan Kai comes in, I can take advantage of the chaos to escape and return to Yingdu to deliver a letter!
Zhang Yuanqing secretly glanced at Li Luobing. She still had no expression on her face, looking straight ahead, and I don't know what she was thinking.
