Realizing This Is Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years
Chapter 62
Walk Farther and Farther on the Path of Death
***
After explaining everything, Liu Litao was already preparing to be rejected by Cui Heng.
After all, the position of governor of Lu County did not seem like a good job.
Unless he killed everyone from these sects and extended families and confiscated all of their businesses, it was impossible for him to stop them from making trouble for him.
Otherwise, there was nothing he could do.
However, if he really took action, not to mention whether he could do it or not, even if he could, he would definitely offend most of the sects and families in Fengzhou.
There was no shortage of top experts among them.
If it reached that stage, even a God would have difficulty moving.
He couldn't really kill the entire Fengzhou until the blood flowed like a river, right?
It seemed that he still had to continue being the governor of Lu County. Liu Litao felt sad in his heart, as if he could already foresee his tragic future.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard Cui Heng say.
“Then please recommend me to be governor of Lu.” County
Liu Litao immediately felt as if he had heard God's music!
He lifted his head and looked at Cui Heng in disbelief. "You .. do you agree?"
"It's so thick." Cui Heng nodded lightly and smiled. "I agree."
“Tuan Kabupaten is very correct. The Lord of the Region is truly a living god!” Liu Litao bowed in admiration.
This is a sincere appeal.
He had never expected that Cui Heng would accept the position of governor after learning that Lu County was in such a mess.
According to him, the situation in Lu County City was already unresolved.
Even if a God were to leave, it might be difficult to make any changes.
Under such circumstances, the position of Governor of Lu County was a hot potato. There were no benefits at all, and there were endless problems.
After thinking about it, he could only think that Cui Heng did this out of kindness.
Of course, it was also because he was confident in his own strength.
After all, this was a God who might have the ability to summon wind and rain.
"No need to thank me." Cui Heng waved his hand and said, “Governor Liu, go and report it. I can take over anytime.”
"When?" Liu Litao could only be puzzled when he heard that. He could not help but ask, "Then what about the Yan army rebel?"
The destruction of King Yan's army was something that happened just last night. The news has not yet arrived here.
Therefore, in Liu Litao's understanding, the biggest crisis facing Lu County today was still the hundreds of thousands of rebel Yan soldiers stationed in Xiling County.
Xu Feng'an, who was standing behind Cui Heng, was also confused.
Neither he nor Liu Litao doubted that Cui Heng would be able to resist the Yan rebels.
He simply did not understand why Cui Heng said that he could go to Lu County at any time.
After all, Juhe County was the front line of the war. If they wanted to fight the Yan rebels, staying here was definitely the best option.
"Good news!"
"Good news!"
"Republican, there's good news!"
Right now, Hui Shi's voice came from outside.
He usually did not show any emotion on his face, but this time, the voice that was shouting was clearly very excited. That's obviously very important news.
"Please come in." Cui Heng waved outside with a smile.
"Yes, Mr. County!" Hui Shi entered quickly carrying a military report.
He ignored Liu Litao and bowed respectfully to Cui Heng. “Lord Region, I just received a military report from the scouts. Last night, hundreds of thousands of meteors fell from the sky in Xiling County.
“In one night, King Yan's rebel army was completely wiped out. Whether it was soldiers or generals, they were all reduced to ashes by meteors, but they did not injure ordinary people. According to the people in the city, at that moment, there was a God standing in the sky. Everyone thought that the heavens had opened their eyes and lowered the divine punishment!”
Myth-like military information came out of Hui shi's mouth.
Liu Litao, Qian Cang, and Xu Feng'an, who were standing at the side, were dumbfounded. They could hardly believe their ears.
Hundreds of thousands of meteors rained down and destroyed hundreds of thousands of Yan rebel forces overnight?!
Their first reaction was—
"How is this possible?!"
This is too ridiculous!
However, Xu Feng'an quickly thought of the Immortal God who had saved him last night.
If it was that Immortal God, it was very possible to do such a miraculous thing.
In one night, he destroyed hundreds of thousands of troops without harming the common people in Xiling County. What kind of great divine power is this!
Even an Immortal Human like a Region Master might not be able to do so.
But from the words of the County Lord just now, he should have long known about the destruction of the rebel King Yan.
From this, it could be seen that the Region Master was most likely related to that Immortal God.
This made Xu Feng'an determined to follow Cui Heng.
Liu Litao was very surprised.
As the governor of Lu County, he knew very well how frightening the rebels were.
These were the forces that would most likely occupy the entire Fengzhou in a short period of time and become the first rebel regime to occupy the entire province. They had the potential to subvert the Great Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, even if they lost 50,000 troops in Juhe County, Liu Litao did not think that King Yan's forces would stop fighting.
However, he never expected that such a rebel force would completely disappear overnight.
What kind of power could destroy hundreds of thousands of troops overnight?
This is too unbelievable!
Moreover, from the description of the military report, the so-called Fire Meteor only eliminated the rebels of King Yan and did not harm ordinary people.
It doesn't look like a natural disaster.
Could it be man-made?
But what kind of person could do such a strange thing?!
Even an Immortal could not do it!
Thinking of the immortal, Liu Litao could not help but look at Cui Heng. A thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
Could he have done it?
From the words of District Judge Cui just now, he should have known about this before the military report arrived.
Can he really do it?
This Judge of Cui County in front of him, the candidate of Governor Cui, had the ability to destroy hundreds of thousands of troops overnight ?!
But it was too exaggerated and unbelievable!
That's so ridiculous.
This guess made Liu Litao's scalp tingle and his entire body tremble. He vaguely felt that giving the position of governor to Cui Heng seemed to be an extraordinary thing.
Cui Heng looked at their reactions and laughed out loud. “This is really a double blessing. Hui Shi, have Zhao Guang make a draft notice and announce that the entire city will celebrate the destruction of the Yan bandits for three days. All costs will be borne by the regional office.”
"Yes, Mr. County!" Hui Shi bowed and was about to leave.
“Don't be in a hurry to go.” Cui Heng asked him to stay and said, “After compiling the notice, have Zhao Guang arrange a banquet and call Old Lu. It's just the four of us. There's something I need to tell you.”
"Regency Master ..." Hui Shi immediately understood the meaning behind it. He wanted to say something but hesitated. He nodded and replied, “Yes, Region Master! ”
….
When Liu Litao was about to build an altar and burn a letter of recommendation to the Great Jin Imperial Court, the Taichong Sect and other large sects had taken action in Lu County.
The first change is the price of food. This actually increased fivefold overnight, causing many residents to panic.
Next coal.
Now that winter is near, it is time for people to hoard coal for the winter.
In the past, in this season coal would be transported from other places to be sold.
But this year, for some reason, not a single ship was carrying coal.
When the commoners asked the merchant in question, they only got an answer that they had to wait longer.
After coal, cloth, salt, fruits, ores, and so on also changed. The price goes up five or six times, or it runs out of stock.
This sudden, unreasonable, and even illogical market change made the people of Lu County wonder what their mistake was.
In the end, they could only complain to the county magistrate's office.
However, they got word that the governor was no longer in town.
This immediately shocked a large number of citizens.
However, ordinary people in the end were still a little shy. They did not dare to go against the government directly, but they did not have the heart to lose the figure of the leader.
The Taichong Sect and other big sects as well as families had made their arrangements.
When countless commoners arrived at the Governor's Office, they could only go home empty-handed.
They "responsible" jumped out and pretended to be angry as they began attacking government offices.
The originally slightly scared citizens echoed when they saw someone leading the way.
This caused the front of the Governor's Office to become chaotic.
They can no longer maintain order.
As the commander of the area, Chen Tong was in a very bad condition. He continued muttering in his heart, "New Governor, come quickly ..."
At the same time, in the private room of a three-story restaurant.
Sun Panshi, the Outer Affairs Deacon of the Taichong Sect, was enjoying a feast with five other people.
From time to time, everyone would look out the window and see the chaotic entrance of the Governor's Office. They all laughed loudly, and the air around him was filled with excitement.
"Ha ha ha! Good show, good show!”
Sun Panshi pointed towards the Governor's Office and laughed. He took a sip of wine and said proudly, “The livelihood of the entire Lu County is in the hands of the six of us. Let's see how the governor of that new area will fight us.”
“Everything, do you believe that after the new regional governor took office, he will definitely come personally to apologize to us in less than three days?”
