Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Could it be that you are having an affair with Song Xuan?

Luo Changan's face turned red, and he wanted to play the coward and not say anything.

But facing Mingyue's majestic scrutiny, he finally couldn't bear it. He felt discouraged and nodded dejectedly.

"Yes!"

Mingyue hummed, then turned to look at the pacification envoy. "Sir, I have finished my questions. The decision is entirely up to you, sir!"

The pacification envoy nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Luo Changan, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Captain Luo, you are very honest. This is something I admire."

"take it easy!"

He waved his hand and comforted her, “Although you have selfish motives, your contribution is still worthy of recognition!

Well, go down and do your job well. After you eliminate the hidden forces of the Mahayana Buddhism, I will reward you according to your merits!"

Once the pacification envoy said this, it was considered the final decision.

Luo Changan's merits outweigh his faults. Although his character is not very good, he still deserves the rewards he deserves!

No one had any objection to this, even Mingyue nodded.

You may be disgusted, but the news Luo Changan brought back is indeed very important. He has made a great contribution. Although his character is flawed, it does not mean that his contribution can be erased.

After Luo Changan left, the pacification envoy looked around.

He was pleasant in front of Luo Changan, but serious in front of the inspectors, "Killing someone from my Imperial City Division will definitely leave consequences.

Next, I will deduce where the Mahayana Buddhists are hiding, and at the same time, I will apply to my superiors, requesting the Qiyun Compass to track down the whereabouts of those evil monks!"

"Everyone, please suspend your retreat. Those who are planning to go out should temporarily stop and be on standby at all times."

Everyone stood up, solemnly saying, "Yes, sir!"

...

In a certain Inspectorate Office, Zhou Changshou was sitting in his study. Opposite him, Luo Changan was looking ashamed.

"My Lord, I am ashamed of you."

Zhou Changshou didn't care, "It's nothing to be ashamed of. You and Song Xuan don't have much friendship to begin with. It's understandable that you want to take all the credit for yourself.

There is one thing, tell me the truth, when did you offend Mingyue?"

Luo Changan shook his head like a rattle, "My lord, heaven and earth can bear witness. How dare a humble officer like a mere captain offend the Inspector General Mingyue?

I am still confused and don’t know why! "

"Oh?"

Luo Changan frowned, "Mingyue is a solitary person. She is in seclusion all the time and rarely pays attention to things outside.

Today, she took the initiative to ask about your affairs. If you really have never offended her, I think it is simply to protect Song Xuan!"

He tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, then chuckled, "As expected of an elder from the Hunyuan Sect, this connection is truly extraordinary. He can even connect with Mingyue, so he must have some skills!"

After a moment of hesitation, Zhou Changshou laughed, "That's not a bad thing!"

"If Mingyue really had no desires, I would be helpless. But since she's not some fairy who's detached from the mundane world, then things will be much simpler!"

Luo Changan was confused. "What does your Excellency mean?"

"You have performed a great deed this time. Song Xuan helped you stop the enemy and allow them to escape. His contribution is also not small. After the subsequent Mahayana Buddhist affairs are resolved, the two of you will definitely be promoted."

Luo Changan's heart was burning. "My Lord, you mean that I have a chance to become the deputy commander of Southwest Province?"

Zhou Changshou glanced at him and said, "Among all my subordinates, I have the highest regard for you. You have made such a great contribution this time, how can I just send you off with a mere deputy position?"

Luo Changan swallowed, his voice trembling. "My Lord, my Lord, are you trying to get me promoted twice, to the position of a senior official in Southwest Province?"

Wanhu is considered to be in the upper ranks in the Imperial City System.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is a high-ranking official in a certain area.

Before this, Luo Changan had always been thinking about being a deputy commander of a hundred thousand households. As for a full-time position, he didn't even dare to think about it.

"Sir, do I really have a chance?"

"Under normal circumstances, the chances are slim!"

Zhou Changshou looked outside and chuckled, "Unless the pacification envoy makes every effort to recommend you, the imperial capital would rather parachute in a Wan Hu than let someone who's not even at the Fusion Stage take the position.

"Wan Hu is considered a high-ranking official in the Imperial City Division. Without the cultivation of the early stage of fusion, this position is simply not stable."

Luo Changan's expression suddenly turned gloomy. "How could I, a mere thousand households, possibly be worthy of the personal recommendation of the Governor?"

Zhou Changshou smiled and said, "That brings me back to what I said earlier. This matter still depends on Mingyue.

Since she values ​​Song Xuan so much, it also means that there is room for negotiation on this matter."

Luo Changan seemed to understand a little, "My Lord, what you mean is that you negotiate with Master Mingyue, and you support Song Xuan's promotion in exchange for Mingyue's support for me to take the position of Wanhu?"

"You are really smart, you understand it immediately!"

Zhou Changshou took a deep breath and said, "Mingyue has always been mysterious. She rarely interacts with outsiders and basically doesn't get involved in other people's affairs.

But what she said would be taken seriously not only by the other inspectors, but even by the governor.

If she is willing to speak out in support of you, and given the great achievements you have made this time, there is a high possibility that the governor will recommend you!"

After he finished speaking, he stopped talking and just looked at Luo Changan quietly.

Luo Changan understood immediately and knelt on one knee, "I swear by my heart of Taoism that I will follow you till death!"

Zhou Changshou nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "In that case, you can leave now. You don't have to worry about the rest. Just focus on your work!"

Luo Changan knew in his heart that how the interests would be exchanged between his master and Master Mingyue was a matter for the higher-ups. He just needed to wait patiently for the subsequent promotion!

At this moment, his heart was extremely hot.

He has been stuck at the bottleneck of breakthrough for many years. If he can really take the position of Wanhu, the blessing of the dynasty's luck he enjoys can be increased several times or even ten times.

By then, the possibility of his cultivation level breaking through in one fell swoop will inevitably increase dramatically!

By then, he would be in a high position, holding power, and even having reached the level of fusion realm. Wouldn't Luo's life have definitely reached its peak?

Thinking of this, Luo Changan even felt a little grateful to Song Xuan.

Song Xuan is really his lucky star. If this person had not disrupted the rules set by the adults without authorization, he would not have caused trouble for Song Xuan.

If he hadn't caused trouble for Song Xuan, he wouldn't have encountered those thieves and bald men from the Mahayana Buddhist sect causing trouble, and he wouldn't have had the opportunity to accomplish great deeds.

Alas, it’s a pity for Brother Zhang Ran.

We went there together, but he was gone when we came back. Such a great achievement can only be taken on for you by me, Luo Changan!

Chapter 669 Dad, why don’t you just come and propose marriage?

Jianghe County, the Imperial City Office.

Song Xuan met the visiting Lord Wan Hu and smiled at Chunfeng.

The other party was an old man with silver hair, and Song Xuan didn't react much to it.

In the world of cultivation, some people like to act young, while others like to act old. People like Xiao Chunfeng, who have a son, present themselves as old men, probably to maintain the dignity of a father.

Subconsciously, Song Xuan looked towards the distance. Over there, Xiao Zizai was approaching Song Qian cautiously like a dog.

But before he could get close, he was blocked by Heishan's tall and majestic body.

Although Heishan usually behaves well in front of Song Xuan, in the eyes of outsiders, when he glares at Song Xuan, he looks like the King of Hell coming to take his life, which is really scary.

Xiao Zizai chuckled awkwardly, not daring to get any closer. He stayed obediently in the yard, waiting for his father to talk to Song Xuan.

After a brief greeting with Song Xuan, Xiao Chunfeng looked at the Black Mountain Old Demon with some surprise.

"Fellow Daoist, you came to my house and asked me to hand over someone because of the thousand-year-old willow tree.

I refused to hand it over, and you left in anger, saying you would look for it yourself."

There was a hint of gloating in his eyes, "Now that the person has been found, how come you have become someone else's housekeeper? What's going on?"

Heishan was not embarrassed to be teased by a powerful person of the same level. There was no emotion change on his dark face.

"When I meet a wise leader, I will follow him till death!"

Heishan said as a matter of course: "For demon cultivators like us, survival is difficult. Finding a backer for ourselves is not a shameful thing, right?"

Xiao Chunfeng smiled but didn't say anything else, but there was a hint of contemplation between his brows.

...

In Song Xuan's study, after the two of them sat down, Xiao Chunfeng directly explained the purpose of their visit.

"The higher-ups have learned of your efforts to stop the enemy for Luo Chang'an. The pacification envoy has personally inquired about the situation and has asked me to help you out.

But my coming here is unnecessary. With a powerful being like Heishan here, I don’t think the elders of the Mahayana Buddhism can do anything to you.”

Song Xuan smiled faintly and asked tentatively, "The Mahayana Buddhist sect is a ninth-level sect of the Yaoqing Dynasty. The elders of such a great sect master various secret techniques. That Black Mountain cultivator is just a casual cultivator, and you are so confident. Can he be his opponent?"

Xiao Chunfeng said seriously, "Hundreds of years ago, when I came to Dongzhou and took office, I planned to set rules for the demons and monsters in Dongzhou.

So, we have also fought against Montenegro.

As you said, he was born as a casual cultivator in Black Mountain, and his magical powers and secret techniques are indeed not as good as those of the elders of the big sects.

But the greatest reliance of demon cultivators is their strong physical bodies, which are much stronger than those of ordinary immortal cultivators.

And among the demon cultivators of the same level, Heishan is definitely a formidable figure in terms of physical strength alone."

As he spoke, Xiao Chunfeng took a sip of tea and continued, "He was originally from the Yaoqing Dynasty, a spirit from the Black Mountain in a dark purgatory. His physical strength is so great that ordinary dragon warriors are far inferior to him.

His defense is too strong. Even if he can't beat others at the same level, it will be difficult for others to beat him!"

He paused, he actually wanted to ask, what methods did Song Xuan use to make such a demon king surrender to him?

But after hesitating for a while, he still didn't ask. It was such a secret, and asking rashly was a taboo among cultivators.

"Haha, then this humble official has truly found a treasure!"

Song Xuan laughed heartily, and then the two of them fell into silence with their teacups in hand.

Song Xuan is actually a very talkative person. For example, with a friend like Ye Gucheng, he can drink, chat and brag with him for a whole day and night.

But if he met someone he didn't get along with, he would lose interest in talking after just a few words.

The smiling spring breeze in front of me is this kind of person.

He was naturally aware of the other party's kindness towards him.

First, he kept the news secret for him for five years, and then asked his son to come and tell him, Song Xuan, that the Inspector General had begun to be dissatisfied with him.

When the Mahayana Buddhist elders kidnapped them this time, Xiao Chunfeng was the first to arrive.

But even so, Song Xuan remembered the other party's favor, but he couldn't say that he liked this person very much.

The other party is too utilitarian and his purpose is too clear. Although the two can cooperate, he will remember the favor and will repay it when he has the chance in the future.

But forget about being friends or anything like that.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Chunfeng stood up and said, "I came here for your safety. Since everything is fine, I will go back first."

Song Xuan also stood up and said, "Your subordinate will see you off, sir!"

As he walked out of the room, Xiao Chunfeng whispered, "You've performed a great deed this time. I'll submit a petition to commend you. If nothing unexpected happens, once the Mahayana Buddhist sect's affairs are settled, your title of Deputy Captain will be removed!"

Song Xuan nodded and smiled, cupping his fists in thanks, saying, "Thank you very much for your support, sir. If you have nothing to do, you can take a stroll around Jianghe County. There are many rivers and lakes here, making it a great place for fishing and leisure."

"Let's talk about it when we have a chance!"

Xiao Chunfeng waved his hand. "The government office is busy with official business. The governor is furious and wants to thoroughly investigate the Mahayana Buddhist spies. Remember to arrange for the search to be conducted, and don't let any thieves escape!"

"I accept my order from my humble position!"

After sending Xiao Chunfeng and his son to the door, Xiao Zizai was still reluctant to leave. Before leaving, he waved to Song Qian repeatedly.

"Miss Xiao Qian, I'll come see you again when I have time!"

But Victoria just glanced at him politely and didn't even bother to say goodbye.

Xiao Zizai's eyes suddenly turned red, "Xiao Qian, I know you are angry, I will definitely change in the future!"

Xiao Chunfeng couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he picked up his shameful son and turned into a rainbow and flew away.
