    "Is this happening?"

    When he heard about what happened in the Taoist Temple in the middle of the mountain, Liu Junfeng frowned tightly and pondered for a long time in silence.  ¡ÑAfter a while, he sighed, shook his head, and first bowed his hands to Tianhe Ghost: "This time, it's all thanks to Mr. Tianhe."

    Tianhe Ghost quickly raised his arms, feeling somewhat complacent and flattered.  Although I have been the guest of Mr. Zhou Mu for a few days, I am still a little unaccustomed to Mr. Liu's unintentional and seemingly spontaneous courtesy. After all, I have been wallowing in the wilderness for decades, and I am not familiar with this kind of court.  It was something I had never dreamed of doing before, let alone being addressed as 'sir'.  He was so angry that he couldn't help but replied loudly: "Master Liu's words are serious, it's just a matter of duty. Everyone can kill the remnants of the Demon Sect, but it's a pity that the two demons were not captured and killed on the spot. Please also ask Liu  Your Excellency has ordered the entire city to search for help. He will be ordered at any time to ensure that they are not allowed to escape."

    Liu Junfeng waved his hand and sighed: "That's not necessary. If they don't behave excessively, even if they find their traces, just ignore them for the time being."

    "Huh?" Tianhe Gui was stunned.  "But these two people are members of the Yongzhou army. It is a big violation of the law to enter our Qingzhou without permission, let alone the remnants of the Demon Sect"

    Liu Junfeng shook his head: "Now that Xidi is in danger of invading the south at any time, the imperial court does not want to quarrel with Yongzhou, so naturally I cannot be too harsh. Mr. Tianhe has taught them a lesson this time, and they must not dare to do so for the time being.  You're just messing around. Then there's no need to take the initiative to provoke them."

    "Then those two people came here because of their old grudges with Qingfeng Taoist Priest Miss Mingyue?" Liu Junfeng turned to Xiaoxia and asked.

    "Exactly. This is Pindao's fault. Unexpectedly, two foreign guests would be implicated because of some personal grudges. Pindao and Miss Mingyue immediately found another place to live temporarily, and left when the ship went to sea." Xiaoxia  Answer honestly.  This reason cannot be concealed from anyone.  Needless to say, Gui Hongliang said "Second Miss" to Mingyue in front of Monk Yuanrong, Taoist Crow and others.  These things were originally no secret to Yingshanwei, the senior officials of Pure Land Zen Temple, and others.  Anyone who is interested will know upon investigation that those two people may reveal this matter at any time.

    "It doesn't matter." Liu Junfeng shook his head and said.  "It would be great if you have a better place to go. But if not, you can rest assured to stay in Luoshui City and live with Mr. Argulis for the time being. Mr. Tianhe, please try your best to stay with them during this period.  Together, in case those two people come to cause trouble again. It¡¯s fine if they don¡¯t take action. If they still want to do whatever they want"

    After thinking for a while, Liu Junfeng said calmly: "Then we will capture them, destroy their cultivation and send them back to Yongzhou."

    ? ###

    "Why? Why is the Archon so tolerant of such devil cultists? Just send them back? Aren't the stakes and the guillotine the only places they should go?"

    In the arranged residence, old man Agulis heard Xiao Xia¡¯s story.  For the first time, he showed surprise and a little anger.  This made Xiao Xia a little stunned. From his contact during this period, it seemed that the old man Ouluo was extremely well-educated. It was almost unimaginable that he would get angry.  And Xiaoxia can be sure that this is not because he and Minx were injured in the hands of those two people. After waking up in the Taoist temple, the old man Agulis did not have such emotions. This was purely because he knew the identities of these two people and Mr. Zhou Mu.  Attitude.

    "This is because those two people are also soldiers of Yongzhou Province. You know, the Hongye Legion of Yongzhou Province resists the barbarians in the northwest and is the most important barrier for our Daqian Dynasty"

    Xiaoxia tried her best to explain the joints to old man Agulis.  In fact, in his opinion, Liu Junfeng's attitude was tough enough and he was not asked to avoid the limelight temporarily.  He also asked Tianhe Ghost to help guard against those two people.  As for the plan to send those two people back to Yongzhou after their cultivation was abolished, it was even more audacious. Although it was just a plan, it was already remarkable to have such a plan.

    But the old man Agulis still looked extremely dissatisfied and puzzled: "Although the barbarians are terrible, these devil believers are the biggest enemies of civilization and society. Don't you, the consul, and the emperor of your country understand this?  ? The 'Zhao' dynasty that believed in Confucianism was so powerful that it could even make such a great initiative as sealing the gods. In the end, it was overturned by this group of devil believers. I can't understand at all that there are such examples, and they still dare to attack  Such cultists are tolerant"

    "Ouch" Xiaoxia felt that she had fallen into an inexplicable situation again.  A difficult communication situation.  "Maybe they have a plan to deal with these devil believers, and now they are just temporarily using a false compromise to paralyze them"

    "No. This is a compromise." Old Man Agulis shook his head firmly.  "No matter what the reason is,Any concession to evil is a compromise.  And this kind of compromise will eventually lead to the evil growing and becoming unstoppable!  I must give advice to the Archon"

    Xiao Xia also felt a headache for the integrity displayed by this old man in Euroland. He thought for a while and said: "Maybe the devil believers you know in Euroland are not actually the same cultists we have here.  The same kind? After allwe don't have such a thing as a devil here."

    "I know, I know. Divided by the chaotic storms on the Endless Ocean, the closer you get to the west, the heavier the chaotic attribute of space becomes. It is difficult to even open the elemental territory on the western continent, and the outer world may not even exist alone at all.  This is a situation that has been discovered and recorded by mages during the Oroyu Empire era." Agulis waved his hand, indicating that he knew what Xiaoxia meant.  His expression became more and more excited, and even his face turned red.  "But what I want to say is that the devil is not just attached to those ugly elves produced in the outer world. The root of their existence is in the nature of each of us. Some theologians and great magisters even believe that the outer world  It is the embodiment of these natures that radiate outside the main material world, and then interact with the changes in the main material world. Of course, there are also completely opposite arguments, which believe that this is an inseparable part of the properties of the main material world itself  So although the embodied devil does not exist in the Western continent. In other words, the way it manifests its existence is different, it does not mean that the essence of the devil does not exist. I have already heard about the teachings of the 'Sunchon' cult.  Although they did not worship fixed idols, they abandoned God's guidance. They despised fairness, light and righteousness, and accepted their own greed, deception, killing, and lustful instincts as truth. This is exactly what the devil does.  It can even be said that they are not serving the devil, they want to become the devil! I understand that tolerance is a virtue. Your civilization is very tolerant, but any compromise with these devils will be destroyed.  First of all, I must explain this to the consul No, I have to find a way to give advice to the emperor of your country"

    "Hmmwell" Xiaoxia just felt dizzy.  Although the magical effect of communication language is extremely good, allowing him to fully understand European language, it is only based on an instinctive understanding. He can only vaguely understand the meaning of many words, and a lot of knowledge behind it is required as a background.  But he had no idea of ??the specific meaning. The excited words of the old man Argulis only made him feel like he was in the fog.  I seemed to understand something, but when I thought about it carefully, I was completely confused.

    But what Xiaoxia can be sure of is that no matter what old man Argulis says or how he says it, it is impossible to persuade Liu Junfeng.  Not to mention the emperor, and how he treats Yongzhou, the General's Mansion, and the Demon Sect is not something His Majesty can do whatever he wants.

    "Okay. Well, let me ask the Archon for you first. See if he has time for everyone to sit down and talk about this issue" Xiaoxia felt that it was best for him to do it for the time being.  He left for a moment, said a few perfunctory words to old man Argulis, and quickly turned around and left.

    Just walked out of the room.  After rubbing her aching temples, Xiaoxia saw Mingyue standing in the courtyard looking at him. She was barefoot, wearing a white dress, and had black hair shawl. She looked like the Fairy Lingbo who had just stepped out of a painting. She was beautiful.  Even Xiao Xia's head no longer hurts.

    Without any unnecessary words, Xiaoxia walked over and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"

    "Taoist Xia, would you please accompany me to see Mr. Kuroki now? I'm afraid I won't have a chance if I don't go." Mingyue smiled lightly.  Although it is still so beautiful, for some reason, Xiaoxia always feels that there is something different than before.

    Xiaoxia thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."

    ? ###

    Taoist priest Qingfeng, who was responsible for interpreting for the European people, took his beautiful female companion to who knows where. This caused a small chaos in the house where the European people were housed.

    The most important thing was that the old man named Agulis was anxious to express something, but no one could understand it. Fortunately, he hurriedly found several clerks who had accompanied them before.  I actually learned a little bit of Chinese dialect, and finally managed to communicate clearly.  The old man seemed to want to go to Mr. Zhou Mu to state some serious problem, but under such circumstances, it was obvious that he couldn't explain anything clearly. In the end, the old Yi man could only stay in the yard and sulk.

    When Tianhe Ghost came here, he saw such a situation.  At the beginning, he brought a chair and sat in the middle of the courtyard. After a while, he felt bored. He paced back and forth in the courtyard, punched him a lot, and went to see if he was still unconscious.  The big man Minx woke up and chatted with the old Yi man for a few words without understanding. Finally, he couldn't help but leave the house and wander around in the nearby streets.

    It¡¯s not that he didn¡¯t take the task ordered by Lord Zhou Mu to heart.??, but he felt that since even the Taoist Qingfeng whom the two demon sect remnants were looking for had free time to lead women around, it was really stupid for him to just wait there.  And just as Mr. Zhou Mu said, the two remnants of the Demon Sect have suffered such a big loss, and they should not dare to act recklessly again in a short time.

    Thinking of this, Tianhe Ghost couldn't help but straighten his chest, and his steps on the street became more and more powerful.  Speaking of which, this is definitely one of the few things he can be proud of in his life, but it is one of the few deeds that he can praise in front of others. Defeating the evildoers of the Demon Cult in one fell swoop is comparable to escorting red goods to kill bandits for a certain escort agency, or escorting red goods to kill bandits for a certain escort agency.  It sounds much better to be a thug for a certain faction to occupy territory, or to collect debts for a certain faction.

    And under Master Liu, there will definitely be more opportunities like this in the future.  Tianhe Ghost firmly believed in this and was able to take refuge with Master Zhou Mu when he was in the most difficult situation and almost had no other choice.  This was good luck that he had never imagined, so although he still couldn't forget the revenge of killing his fifth brother.  But he was still somewhat grateful to that stinky Taoist priest from the Maoshan sect.  If it weren't for his recommendation at that time, I wouldn't even have the opportunity to walk down the street like this.  The several thousand taels of silver offered as a reward by Shenji Hall is not just for show.  Although he is far from being able to invite those experts who really make him fearful, he is also annoyed by the constant stream of harassment like flies. If he is not careful, he may bump into the palm of a strong supporter behind him. After all, Jianghu  What is useful in the world is the fist, but what is more useful is the power, and the fist is just a small factor that makes up the power.  But now that he has become Liu Junfeng's guest, at least there is no force that can threaten him in this three-thirds of the land of Qingzhou. No one can deny the face of Lord Zhou Mu. After all, he has occupied the righteous status of the imperial court.

    Tianhe ghost cherishes it very much.  I attach great importance to this opportunity, not only because I can rely on the prestige of Lord Zhoumu, but because Lord Liu Junfeng is indeed a 'good person' and a 'good official'.  This label, which at some point seems silly and ironic to some people, is still very weighty in the eyes of Tianhe Ghost.  What he has seen and heard in recent days can also confirm that it is not a false rumor.  Especially after having a slap with this Lord Zhou Mu, and having the sense of identity as a warrior in my heart, I would not be able to let go of the blood feud of several brothers if it weren't for it.  He was almost ready to devote himself to the account and serve him for the rest of his life.

    The only thing I¡¯m worried about now is that if Lord Zhou Mu knows about his past reputation, will he be wary of him or even expel him from Qingzhou?  After all, the five brothers killed their master in anger back then, which was a huge scandal in the world of Xuzhou.  This is also the reason why the five brothers were classified as 'evil bandits'.  Mr. Liu is a famous Confucian scholar. As far as he knows, Confucianism is very particular about "the king, the minister, the father, the son, the son."  If it were placed in the previous dynasty when Confucianism was at its peak, people like him would never have survived to this point.  No matter how high your cultivation level is or how good your skills are, you will still be able to survive under the siege of all the hot-blooded Taoist defenders from all over the world.  He was taken to the market entrance to receive the Ling Chi punishment of more than 1,900 knives.

    While thinking wildly in my mind, I walked aimlessly on the nearby streets.  Suddenly two people ran from a distance and rushed straight to Tianhe Ghost. They were panting and smiling: "Oh, isn't this Mr. Tianhe? The master of my family is asking us to look for you everywhere. Let's go to the state."  Mr. Mu asked at his residence and found out you were here, so he rushed over to find you."

    When the title "Mr. Tianhe" came out of Liu Junfeng's mouth, Tianhe Ghost sounded extremely helpful, and he was almost flattered and couldn't bear it.  However, hearing it from these two people, Tianhe Ghost felt that it didn't taste right at all.  Although these two people were dressed in luxurious clothes, they couldn't hide the smooth and charlatan aura that permeated their bodies. At a glance, it was obvious that they were the kind of charlatans who were sophisticated and unscrupulous.

    "Who are you? Who is the head of your family?" Tianhe Ghost frowned and looked at the two people with disdain.  Although he has come into contact with this kind of people a lot, and sometimes has to make a living from this kind of people, it doesn't mean that he likes this kind of people.  This title was obviously obtained from someone in the Zhou Mu Yamen, which showed that some effort was put into trying to please him, but Tianhe Ghost only felt a little disgusted, as if looking at two flies that had eaten shit.

    "I am the Foreign Affairs Deacon of the Hushan Gate. The leader of the Hushan Gate, Hu Changhai, is a life-and-death friend of Mr. Tianhe. I was very happy to hear that Mr. Tianhe had arrived in Qingzhou. If it hadn't been for the sudden arrival of a distinguished guest from the gate, I would have come to visit him personally. Now I have no choice but to die.  The two of us are here to invite you, sir, to meet at our door." The two men were polite and respectful.

    "Hu Changhai? Hushan Gate?" Tianhe Ghost raised his brows, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

    He did know this man named Hu Changhai. He had dealt with him many years ago when he was in the Jianghu in Xuzhou. At that time, this man was still working as a thug for others like his five brothers. He was smooth and liked to form cliques.  The Tianhe ghost also looked down on him a little.  Just living life and death together.??It can be regarded as some friendship.  Later, I heard that I had inherited a small sect called Hushanmen from somewhere, and came to Qingzhou, where there was endless fighting, to look for opportunities, and I lost contact with him from then on.

    When I first came to Qingzhou, I heard that Hushanmen was actually doing well. After careful consideration, Tianhe Ghost asked someone to send news to Hu Changhai, hoping that he could provide some help.  As a result, a group of thugs with knives and swords, as well as strong bows and crossbows, and even several machine beasts came to surround the place he agreed to meet. If he hadn't been careful in advance, he would have been hiding nearby.  Observe other places first.  There will be bad luck that day.  Although he was not afraid of those gang thugs, he still had a headache with too many bows and crossbows.  The weapon of the machine beast is even more difficult to deal with in a melee, due to the crudeness of the technique.  His innate Qi didn't have any subtle and far-reaching attribute changes, and it couldn't stop many projectiles and thunderbolts exploded by the secret fire medicine.

    Afterwards, he was naturally very angry about this, but considering Hu Changhai's temperament, it seemed that this move was also expected.  The other party is already the leader of a large gang in Qingzhou, with countless guards coming and going, but his identity is still hidden, so he has to give up his plan to seek revenge.  Now that he has been put into Lord Zhou Mu's account, there is no need to be secretive anymore, and he has not yet decided whether he should go to him to settle the account.  But Hu Changhai took the initiative and put his hot face over first.

    Is it a Hongmen Banquet?  Want to quietly eliminate yourself to avoid hidden dangers?  Tianhe Ghost snorted coldly and spat to the side: "Go and tell Hu that you two bastards can't even invite him. Let him send some more crossbowmen and a few machine beasts to try.  .¡±

    The two people looked at each other, their expressions changing, feeling embarrassed and anxious at the same time. Then one of them suddenly turned his head and pointed at a restaurant not far away and said, "If Mr. Tianhe doesn't believe me, please have a few drinks at this restaurant."  Let's drink and drink for a while, and then we'll go back and report to the sect master. The sect master will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

    Tianhe Ghost was stunned for a moment, but this was an unexpected answer.  It was possible that Hushanmen wanted to trick him and assassinate him quietly, but to attack a guest under Lord Zhou Mu's tent in such a public restaurant was something only a lunatic would do.  It seems that there is something really mysterious and weird about this.  After thinking about it and finding nothing, Tianhe Ghost nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait here. Let's see what other tricks your sect leader can come up with."

    After getting the answer, the two deacons ran away quickly, and Tianhe Ghost walked into the restaurant.  I found a seat with a good view and ordered two glasses of light wine, while a plate of bacon was waiting for me.  Less than half an hour later.  He really saw Hu Changhai's figure, and then he couldn't help but be stunned.

    It had been a few years since he had seen him, and the appearance of the Hushan Sect Master was a lot different from what he remembered. He could still vaguely see that his face was full of flesh and ferocious, and his ferocious tiger-like appearance was now covered in a lot of fat.  He looked a little more kind, and his strong figure was even more bloated, which made the horse he was riding a little overwhelmed.  What made Tianhe Ghost stunned was that the leader of one of the largest gangs in Qingzhou was shirtless and riding a fast horse alone.  Many passers-by looked sideways.

    Riding his horse and dismounting in front of the restaurant, Hu Changhai turned over and dismounted and ran straight in. After the thumping of footsteps, his broad and fat figure appeared at the top of the stairs and rushed in front of Tianhe Ghost. He then knelt down on one knee and walked from  He pulled out a short thorn stick from his back and handed it to Tianhe Ghost. With a serious look on his face, he said loudly and righteously: "Brother Tianhe, Brother Lao Hu came to apologize to you today! I was not strict with you before, Lao Hu, and let the people below  I offended my brother by making my own decisions and acting without permission. Later, I inquired about my brother's whereabouts in many ways but to no avail. I have always felt guilty. Fortunately, Brother Tianhe has his own destiny, and today he became Mr. Liu's guest again. Please help me in Qingzhou  Dongliang. Lao Hu, I was very happy after hearing the news about my brother, so I made a special trip here to apologize to my brother!"

    Asking for forgiveness?  For a moment, not only Tianhe Ghost was stunned, but also other people in the restaurant were paying attention.  Many people recognized this fat man as the leader of the Hushan Sect, which is currently in the limelight in Luoshui City. They whispered to each other, saying that this sect leader actually put down his body and face to come to someone to apologize. He was really a man of deep loyalty.  .

    Of course Tianhe Ghost would not think so.  Although he is not slick, he has seen enough slick people. He already knows what kind of virtue Hu Changhai has. The credibility of this statement is less than 10% or 20%.  But to come shirtless to plead guilty in front of a large public, this really took the stage to the extreme. His status as a guest of Mr. Zhou Mu could only make him dare not ignore it, but it was far from the level of fear.  To the extent that he is willing to put down his status and dignity, there must be another reason behind it.

    ¡°Brother doesn¡¯t forgive me, Hu Changhai, so I¡¯m going to kneel like this, unable to get up, waiting for my brother to whip me at will to relieve my anger!¡±

    No matter what the true intention behind it is, the rules of the arena, since everyone will do what is on the sceneOnce it is in place, the steps that should be given must be given out.  Tianhe Ghost had no choice but to laugh and step forward to pull Hu Changhai up: "Well, since Old Hu you said it was a misunderstanding, then it is a misunderstanding. When we have the opportunity, we can talk about the old friendship in the past."

    "Why come here? As the saying goes, it's better to choose a day than to hit it. To be honest, brother, I ordered people to prepare a banquet when I came out, just waiting to apologize to you, brother Tianhe. By the way, congratulations to me for becoming Lord Zhou Mu's right-hand man.  , contribute to our Qingzhou Jianghu!"

    Tianhe Ghost thought for a while, and it just so happened that he had nothing to do now, and he also happened to go see what medicines were sold in the gourd behind Hu Changhai, so he nodded.

    I don't know if it was because of dazzling eyes or something else, but Tianhe Ghost always felt that Hu Changhai's face looked like he was relieved, and then he laughed very boldly: "Just in time! It's really a coincidence, someone happened to come to my door recently.  I have two distinguished guests. After hearing about the deeds of Brother Tianhe, I was greatly impressed, so I sent someone to invite them. It would be a nice thing for us to drink together and get to know each other!"
