The first county magistrate in history

At this moment, the old fox was not resting, but was drinking in the room with Uncle Nan.

Xia Bitu looked very depressed and in a low mood, drinking one glass after another.

Uncle Nan said worriedly, "Sir, even though our plan failed, you can't drink like this. Don't hurt your body."

Xia Bitu put down his wine glass and sighed, "Uncle Nan, I just can't bear to part with this little monkey!"

Uncle Nan was startled: "Isn't he in this inn?"

Suddenly his expression changed: "Sir, are you going to assassinate him?"

Xia Bitu: “…”

"Nonsense! Do you think we can assassinate him successfully? Uncle Nan, Qin Zheng is an envoy of the Five Elements Sect. He disobeyed the orders of the higher-ups this time. I believe that little monkey can save his life, but he will definitely not be able to serve as an envoy anymore."

Uncle Nan's expression changed drastically. "Will he be replaced by the Five Elements Sect? Send another envoy?"

Xia Bitu nodded, feeling very melancholy: "Uncle Nan, if Qin Zheng doesn't become this envoy, Daqian will really be in chaos, and the world will be in chaos too!"

Uncle Nan's expression changed drastically: "Is it that serious?"

Xia Bitu said quietly, "I dare say there is no one in this world as good as Monkey Boy."

Uncle Nan: “…”

"My Lord, you showed no mercy this time and intended to kill him. How could you show mercy to him?"

Xia Bitu smiled bitterly. "I didn't hold back, and neither did Ningguta. Even the Western Territory King Liang Heng didn't hold back. Even the highest-ranking officials in the Boundless Palace wanted to get rid of him. But what did that little monkey kid fear? Facing four powerful forces, what was the result? Wasn't it that Qin Zheng took care of Liang Heng with just a few lines of poetry and a precious imperial sword?

"If I hold back against such a powerful figure, who is comparable to a god, what will happen? Besides, this is the order of our protector god, how dare I disobey?"

Uncle Nan shuddered. When he recalled the thrilling scene at Huangsha Pass, he was still frightened.

He was not surprised at what the adults said about the Boundless Palace, because the adults had known about the Boundless Palace for a long time, and even knew a lot about it!

"Alas!" Uncle Nan also sighed, but comforted him: "Qin Zheng is no longer an envoy, so the adults' plan can be implemented without any obstacles!"

Xia Bitu shook his head. "This was all part of Qin Zheng's plan. His fear lies in his ability to foresee the future. He saw this coming long ago. He told me before that he wanted to get rid of Liang Heng. Afterwards, he allowed me to carry out my plan."

At the time, I thought he was setting a trap for me. But today, it seems like it's all become reality. If he could even see this, how could he not have a way out? If I were to take action, I might not even know how I died, because I simply can't guess his intentions. I don't have his ability to predict the future!

Uncle Nan's expression turned serious: "Sir, what should we do?"

Xia Bitu sighed, "So, I'm going to just hang out with him for now and not take any action. It's safer to stay by his side!"

"Ah?" Uncle Nan was confused: "Master, are you not going to carry out the plan?"

Xia Bitu shook his head. "I'm not the only one coveting the Daqian Dynasty. Why should I be so anxious? Isn't it nice to just watch the show?"

Uncle Nan couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity for this great opportunity. If Qin Zheng is used again, I'm afraid you won't have a chance!"

Xia Bitu smiled bitterly, "Qin Zheng killed Liang Heng, and the guardian deity behind Liang Heng was defeated. This also means one less competitor for the Five Elements Sect and our guardian deity. As long as our guardian deity is not stupid, he will stop me from implementing my plan. Therefore, this plan can only be shelved and we will wait for an opportunity to act!"

Uncle Nan understood: "But, Qin Zheng might go to Liangjin after this time. Will the Empress agree to let you go to Liangjin as well? You are the Prime Minister and should be in charge of the imperial capital. Besides, why would the Empress allow you to be so close to Qin Zheng?"

Xia Bitu smiled slyly. "So, during this period of time, I have to be nice to Monkey Boy. Help him more and give him more money so that he can help me come up with some ideas. Also, I have to bring Jinzhong with me. I can't let him stay in the Imperial Capital any longer! After this, all forces will definitely gather in the Imperial Capital. The Imperial Capital is full of dangers. It's better to leave that dangerous place as soon as possible."

Uncle Nan: “…”

It turns out that the adults have already figured out what to do!

However, Uncle Nan feels that the adults’ plans are more than just these.

But he also knew that although he was deeply trusted by the adults, there were some things that the adults could not tell him.

Xia Bitu suddenly asked, "You said that Qin Zheng's decision to rest in this town is really giving those profiteers an opportunity?"

Uncle Nan was stunned. According to his own understanding, he said, "There must be a reason in this regard, but Qin Zheng would never take action for just one reason."

"Then, what is his plan?" Xia Bitu nodded. In fact, he had suspected it a long time ago and had analyzed several reasons. He just wanted to get more inspiration from communicating with Uncle Nan!

Uncle Nan analyzed, "He said the guardian deity would definitely kill us. This is definitely a good place."

Xia Bitu nodded again: "What else?"

Uncle Nan pondered, "Qin Zheng promised to protect us, and he will definitely keep his word. He also wants to eliminate the assassins here!"

Xia Bitu nodded again. "He's deliberately giving them a chance, demonstrating his fearlessness. Therefore, his men will undoubtedly strike swiftly and ruthlessly this time to intimidate them. Anything else?"

Uncle Nan knew that the adults had actually thought of it, but had not yet confirmed it. Regardless of whether his guess was right or wrong, it was just to provide evidence for the adults and would not affect their judgment.

So he said confidently, "Qin Zheng also received the secret letter. It must be that the Five Elements Palace Envoy is not on good terms with him, so he rejected Qin Zheng's plan. Of course, it is certain that the Five Elements Palace Envoy has also benefited from the Western Territory King's Protector God, including our Protector God."

Xia Bitu laughed: "Haha, I didn't expect that monkey cubs would also be bullied."

Uncle Nan also laughed: "As long as you are not a top-tier figure, how can you not be restrained by others?"

Xia Bitu nodded.

Uncle Nan suddenly asked, "What is Qin Zheng's position in the Five Elements Church? How dare he disobey the orders of the higher-ups?"

Adults must have known this a long time ago because they have had contact with the guardian angel.

Xia Bitu smiled bitterly: "I'll scare you to death if I tell you, he is the leader of the Five Elements Sect!"

Uncle Nan was shocked. He thought that Qin Zheng’s status was not low, but, leader?

"How is that possible? How old is he?"

Xia Bitu sighed, "That's why he's terrifying! That's why even the other guardian gods are very wary of him."

Uncle Nan asked again, "Sir, the commander of the Western Frontier Army has been replaced. Obviously, the old War God and the second young War God are both Qin Zheng's men. Will the Empress agree?"

Xia Bitu said, "You are wrong. A person who is truly loyal to his country will not curry favor with the powerful, sell out his country for personal gain, and become a member of a certain faction. The old and young war gods should only be Qin Zheng's friends.

The old war god Qi Lin has a high prestige among the soldiers of the Western Border Army. He is also loyal to his country and is the most suitable person to take over the Western Border Army. The Empress will agree.

Uncle Nan nodded. "Your Excellency is absolutely right. However, the King of the Western Territory has long been renowned for his power, and foreign vassals dare not invade. If this had been done by someone else, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Xia Bitu shook his head. "They don't have the bravery of the Western Territory Army. In fact, the ones who truly intimidate the foreign enemies are the four veteran war gods of the Four Territory Army: Nanhu, Beilong, Dongyu, and Xilin. They are known as the Four Heroes of Daqian. They inflicted fear on the enemy back then and established the prestige of the Four Territory Army. The reputation of the Territory King is just a decoration! Now the four lesser war gods, Nanpeng, Beijiao, Dongwu, and Xihao, have risen to prominence. The foreign vassal states dare not send troops easily."

"Since Lord Qin Zheng has killed Liang Heng, I'm sure the other realm kings will be unable to sit still, right?" Uncle Nan said worriedly.

Xia Bitu's expression suddenly changed: "Oh no! I know what else that monkey cub did!"

After saying that, he ran out.

Uncle Nan was shocked.
