"........."
What the white-bearded old man didn't notice was that the face of the old blacksmith was getting darker and darker, and the hand holding the hammer was shaking a little, and he was still talking non-stop.
"By the way, since I entered the world, this world seems to be a bit unlucky. It's hard to say exactly what is different. You are in charge of a part of the power of the world. You should know what happened, right?"
"Get out! I don't know! What the hell are you doing here?"
The old blacksmith threw away his hammer and rolled up his sleeves to fight him!
"calm down!"
However, the old blacksmith would not listen to him, he grabbed the white-bearded old man's clothes, clenched his fists and punched him in the face.
hum~
With a twist in the space, the punch was empty.
"You dirty old man, you don't show affection at all. Fortunately, I even gave the secret disk to your apprentice."
The voice of the old man with white beard echoed between heaven and earth.
"That's all, you're not welcome here, I'll find someone else to catch up on the old days!"
As these words fell, there was no movement around, as if he had left.
"Haha, you think I'm gone, but I'm still here."
After a while, the old man's cheap voice appeared again.
Bang!
No movement was seen by the blacksmith old man, a void suddenly exploded, and a piece of clothing fell to the ground.
"Fuck you, run fast!"
The old blacksmith snorted coldly, but there was still a smile on his face, as if he was very happy with the old man with white beard.
Chapter 91 Special Physique
The next day, Diao Chan's maid delivered a letter.
Ling Xiao opened the letter and looked at it. There were many contents in the letter. After a quarter of an hour, Ling Xiao walked to the window, frowned and thought in the distance.
"Is that so?"
Diao Chan's letter mentioned something special about Xiner. According to the letter, Xiner's physique belongs to the most yin constitution.
It sounds like cheating, in fact cheating is cheating, but it is not a good thing.
The so-called solitary yin does not grow, and solitary yang does not grow!
Most people in the world have a normal physique with a balance of yin and yang. Those with a special physique are, in a sense, a disease, and a disease that cannot be treated by conventional methods.
The so-called body of extreme yin and body of extreme yang, to put it bluntly, is a special phenomenon manifested by the imbalance of yin and yang in the body.
Due to their congenital deficiencies, it is very difficult for this type of people to live past the age of 16. Even if they manage to survive through medical treatment, they can only live by taking medicine in the future. It can be said that life is worse than death.
Of course, God is fair.
If you lose something, you will definitely gain something. People with this kind of physique, if they practice exercises suitable for their own physique, their cultivation speed will definitely increase by leaps and bounds. From this point of view, they are peerless geniuses who are rare in a million !
And because every breakthrough of the human body's limit is a kind of supplement to oneself, if one can cultivate to a high level, it can even completely offset the side effects caused by physical fitness.
The reason why Ling Xiao frowned was not only because he was worried about Xiner, but also because of the Illusory Moon Sect mentioned in Diao Chan's letter!
According to the letter, this Huanyue Sect has been established for thousands of years and belongs to the hidden sect. The letter did not mention where this sect is, but only said that it is in the Tianshan Mountains.
But the Tianshan Mountains are too big, and it's not too bad to say that they are in the territory of Dahan.
This sect is not a big sect, and there are not many people. They only look for people with the most yin physique to enter the sect, and there are probably only two or three disciples in each generation.
Diao Chan is a disciple of this generation of Huanyue Sect, or it can be said that he walks in the world, and if he meets someone with the most yin physique, he is responsible for bringing them back to the sect for training.
The reason why Diao Chan wanted to return home in a hurry, besides confirming that Xin Er was indeed of the Yin constitution, was to send news to the Zongmen through the Zongmen's special method.
The reason is also clearly stated in the letter. With Xiner's current physique, it is impossible to enter Tianshan Mountain without someone to protect her.
Don't think that the most yin constitution means that you are not afraid of severe cold, that is completely different.
Of course, Diao Chan also mentioned in the letter that if she does not want Xiner to go to Tianshan, she can also provide Xiner with cultivation methods, but the resources may not be as good as the Magic Moon Sect, and everything needs to be decided by Ling Xiao .
Holding the letter, Ling Xiao stood in front of the window and pondered for a moment. He decided that it would be better for Xiner to practice with Diao Chan.
As for the problem of resources, Ling Xiao doesn't care, just kidding, with him around, it is impossible for Xiner to be short of resources!
Ling Xiao was not in a hurry to tell Xin'er about this matter, and everything will be discussed after the Luoyang incident.
Three days later, Zhang Rang finally sent someone to find Ling Xiao and go to his residence.
This time Ling Xiao entered Zhang Rang's mansion through the side door, and the butler who greeted him was still the same as last time, but his attitude was much better, and he led the way respectfully, obviously knowing that Zhang Rang valued Ling Xiao very much.
When Ling Xiao came to the small courtyard last time, Zhang Rang was feeding the parrots in the cage with a small bowl, teasing and whistling from time to time, apparently in a good mood.
This reassured Ling Xiao a lot. It seems that there was nothing unexpected about the prefect of Yanmenguan.
"Lord Chitose!"
Ling Xiao stepped forward and said with a bow.
"Nephew Ling Xiao has arrived! Xiaoyue, go and bring your majesty's imperial edict to our family."
Zhang Rang handed the small bowl of bird food to another maid and walked towards the lounge chair in the courtyard.
"Lord Chitose seems to be in a good mood, your face is really red today!"
Seeing Zhang Rang lying down on the bamboo chair, Ling Xiao said with a smile.
"It's all thanks to my nephew, Your Majesty received the 30 taels of gold, Long Yan was very happy, and rewarded our family with 1 taels of gold as soon as he was happy!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Rang burst out laughing.
It can be seen that Zhang Rang is really happy, but not because of the 1 taels of gold, he doesn't care too much about this money.
But if it was rewarded to him by the emperor, the meaning would be different, it represented His Majesty's affirmation and favor to him.
What is the most frightening thing about being a eunuch?
It's not the scolding of the people in the world, nor the hostility of civil and military officials, but the loss of the emperor's trust!
Because of their own limitations, all rights come from the emperor.
Don't look at their ten permanent servants who are now powerful and powerful, but as long as the emperor says a word, they will be beaten back to their original forms in an instant, and there is no room for resistance.
This is also the reason why the emperors of all dynasties trusted eunuchs the most. Without him, you can rest assured that you don't have to worry about one day when you will be the master!
"It's all because Lord Chitose has won His Majesty's trust. I don't dare to take credit for it. I would like to thank Lord Chitose for working so hard to buy an official!"
"Nephew Xian is a caring person, don't worry, our family is not someone who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges, as long as we do things for His Majesty, your benefits will be indispensable."
These words sounded right at first glance, but Ling Xiao heard some hidden meanings.
It seems that the Lingdi has also seen something, and he also knows that he has started to win over the powerful officials in the frontier.
And the prefect position obtained by buying an official like Ling Xiao is a natural ally, belonging to the pro-imperial faction.
Just at this time Xiaoyue came out of the room, holding a yellow satin scroll in her hand.
Zhang Rang got up to take it, slowly opened it, and read softly: "By heaven, the emperor ordered Ling Xiao to be the prefect of Yanmen Pass, and granted Yanmen Pass and its surrounding counties and towns as fiefs, with a third-rank official residence. Here! "
Ling Xiao hurriedly bowed to thank him.
As I said before, there is no so-called kneeling ceremony in the world of "The World". Unless it is to sacrifice ancestors, you don't need to kneel even if you see the emperor himself.
Of course, if you are willing to kneel, no one will stop you. This is your freedom.
However, Ling Xiao was a little surprised by the fief mentioned in the edict.
Normally speaking, the prefect of a city is only an official position, and the governor of a state is still qualified to appoint and remove him, and of course he has to report it.
But it would be different if Yanmen Pass was Ling Xiao's fief, which meant that Ling Xiao had absolute independence and autonomy over Yanmen Pass, and was directly under the emperor's jurisdiction.
Zhang Rang received the imperial decree, handed it to Ling Xiao, and said with a smile: "Prefect Ling, you can be regarded as a third-rank official now, and you have to work hard for His Majesty."
Ling Xiao naturally heard Zhang Rang's meaning, and said quickly: "Your Majesty accepts the heavy responsibility of His Majesty, so I should take care of His Majesty's worries!"
Zhang Rang smiled: "Then our family and Your Majesty can rest assured, now you already have a third-rank official position, and Yanmenguan is your fief. Originally, the officials you could entrust could not be higher than the sixth-rank, and the number could not exceed 50." , but our family sees you pleasing to the eye, and asked His Majesty to ask you for three fifth-rank official positions. From now on, if you work hard for Your Majesty, you will naturally be promoted."
Ling Xiao naturally flattered and showed his loyalty, the two of them can say that they had a very happy conversation.
In fact, don't look at Zhang Rang's talkative appearance now, if it weren't for the millennium Ganoderma lucidum that Ling Xiao gave and Wang Yun's waist card, Zhang Rang would not be what he is now!
Ling Xiao didn't wait long, and then said goodbye to Zhang Rang and left with the imperial decree.
Chapter 92 The Forbidden Domain of the Gods
"Kinji will leave it to you."
At the gate of Situ's mansion, Ling Xiao handed Xin'er to Diao Chan.
"Master Ling, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Miss Xin'er."
"Brother, are you leaving?"
"Xiner, don't worry, my brother promised you that I will come to see Xiner often. When Xiner recovers, my brother will come to pick up Xiner and go home, okay?"
Ling Xiao touched Xiner's head and said with a smile.
"Okay, Xiner must work hard and go home early!"
"Well, I believe Xiner will not let me down."
"Mulan, please stay with Xiner in Luoyang."
"Don't worry, my lord!" Hua Mulan cupped her fists and saluted.
Ling Xiao still felt a little indebted to Hua Mulan, she was supposed to be a heroine on the battlefield, but now she let Ling Xiao be her bodyguard.
But there is no way, besides Hua Mulan, Ling Xiao doesn't trust anyone else to protect Xin Er, even Diao Chan.
No matter what the future holds for Diao Chan, she is still Wang Yun's adoptive daughter, and she and Ling Xiao just met by chance, so there is no trust or distrust.
If there is no other way, Ling Xiao will not let Xin'er practice some Huan Yuezong's skills.
Who knows if this sect is legitimate or not, what if my Xiner is brought into trouble? Fortunately, Diao Chan is teaching her now. She has a good personality, intellectual generosity, and gentleness, so Ling Xiao is more at ease in handing Xiner over to her.
Taking a last look at Luoyang City, Ling Xiao and Yang Zhi returned to Yanmen Pass with the imperial decree.
The handover of positions went smoothly. After Ling Xiao took out the imperial decree and Wang Yun's letter to him, the city lord left without saying a word, and left with a team of people the next day without delay.
He also knew that Ling Xiao had lied to him about his identity before, which was mentioned in Wang Yun's letter.
But he won't bear any grudges, as long as he can leave this damn place, he will be cheated, it's not a big deal anyway.
He has always thought that he is a generous person. Of course, if there is no box of gold that Ling Xiao gave, this statement may be more convincing.
Although this city lord is just a small person in Ling Xiao's eyes, and it's uncertain whether he will play a part in the future, Ling Xiao has always done his affairs with integrity.
After spending 1000 taels of gold to apologize, this matter is over, otherwise the other party will really hold a grudge and secretly trip him up. Although it won't affect him much, it will be a trouble after all.
Yanmenguan is different from other cities, the people here don't pay too much attention to the quality of life, as long as you can resist the invasion of foreign races, then you are their good city lord.
On the other hand, no matter how well your internal affairs are handled and how well-organized the city's affairs are, if you can't keep everything empty, the common people naturally understand this, and that's why they support Lu Bu so much. On this point, they can still see Clear.
Therefore, after Ling Xiao took office, he did not make any major changes. Everything was in accordance with the old system, but Ling Xiao's soldiers' salaries were increased by [-]%.
In Ling Xiao's eyes, border guards are the most respectable type of people, so even if they pay back money, Ling Xiao must improve their quality of life and not let them bleed and cry!
After staying in Yanmen Pass for ten days, Ling Xiao had a general understanding of the current situation of Yanmen Pass.
First of all, in terms of the army, Lu Bu took away only a small group of people. In addition to his generals, there were also Bingzhou wolf riders who had followed him and were also trained by him.
Of course, Lu Bu also knew the importance of Yanmen Pass, so he didn't take all of them away. About 20 Bingzhou wolf cavalry were left behind.
However, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry can only be regarded as the master of tigers and wolves if they are under Lu Bu's men. Without Lu Bu, these Bingzhou wolf cavalry are only a strong army with slightly stronger physical fitness and richer combat experience. It may have achieved a shocking record of one to ten like Ghost Moon!
This point fully reflects the importance of generals in "The World".
If a sheep leads a group of wolves, the wolves will become sheep; but if a wolf leads a group of sheep, the sheep are wolves!
It may not be so obvious in real history, but the world of "The World" magnifies this infinitely.
