"I will take my junior brother to the mountain gate of our Tao now and ask the master to accept him as a disciple!" Taoist Qingping held Wang Lei's hand and said to Wang Lei. "Haha, Senior Brother Qingping, I am also the county head of the three counties near Rouhuai County, and my parents are still alive, so I have to ask for permission." Wang Lei said, and without leaving any trace, he took Qingping's arm. Pulling back, joking, Wang Lei hasn't been held by a man yet, this feeling is too weird "Junior brother, why do you care about this? Becoming a true disciple of Tianqiong Dao, you don't have to be this little county boss. It's much better. ? As for parents, don¡¯t look at them. Taoists have escaped from the three realms and only have the Dao in their hearts. Mortal parents and relatives do not need to pay too much attention to them. Moreover, I think junior brothers are not taken very seriously. Otherwise, how can the son of a dignified country only get The fiefdom of the three counties?" The Qingming Taoist shook the jade whisk in his hand and said to Wang Lei. After hearing this, Wang Lei couldn't help but glance at the Qingming Taoist. This man was probably in his thirties, and he was quite immortal, but he had good eyesight. In just a few words, Wang Lei's status in the Luju Kingdom was clearly explained. However, as he said, the leader of a mere viscounty country in Luju Kingdom is indeed not in the eyes of Tian Qiongdao. At best, he is just a bigger ant with a higher status. Wang Lei listened, but did not express it. He raised his hands and said to the three Taoists: "I know a little about the thoughts of the three senior brothers, but I can also tolerate my difficulties. As the head of Rouhuai County, although my official position is small, In his position, he is responsible for his political affairs and is an official. He has no habit of running away and must make proper arrangements for those who follow him. In addition, no matter how my parents treat me. As a son of a human being, I always have to explain to my parents. Although Confucianism and Taoism have declined, some truths are still true. If your parents are here, don¡¯t travel far away Although I have to go away once this time, I still have to see my parents. It is only reasonable to fulfill the filial piety." After listening to Wang Lei's words, Qingping stroked his beard and nodded. He was the leader among the three Taoists, and he had the highest cultivation level. He is also the oldest. After listening to Wang Lei's words, he felt that it made sense and said: "That's okay, what the junior brother said is also reasonable. Anyway, I came out this time. It can be regarded as the deputy master gave a few of us a holiday, which only takes a month. Just go back and do the work. Junior brother, you can finish the matters at hand and then follow us back However, it is safe to finish the matter as soon as possible. " "It won't take too long for the three senior brothers. Live in Rouhuai County. I am hosting a banquet for the three senior brothers. I can handle the government affairs in Rouhuai in one day. I mainly need to make some explanations to the three Taoists who follow me. said. "In this case, junior brother, let's go handle the government affairs. I'll wait for the three of you." Taoist Qingping said to Wang Lei. Wang Lei nodded. Of course, he couldn't let these three uncles really hang around here. He found the butler and asked him to prepare various programs before he went to the front hall and prepared to hand over government affairs. In the meeting hall at the front, Wang Lei gave a general summary of what happened to him. After hearing this, most of the staff below were happy and shouted "Congratulations, Mr. Congratulations!" These people are generally local bureaucrats. In fact, they are very unwilling to participate in the struggle between the two princes of the king to seize the throne. However, Mr. Chu Ying has already come to Rouhuai County. They are not the princes' faction and are also labeled as With the brand of the Young Master faction, if Wang Lei fails in the future, they will also be implicated. Poor pipelines is the least serious, and even beheading may not be impossible. But at this time, Wang Lei was suddenly led by Tian Qiong Dao. It is estimated that if he goes here, he will at least become a true disciple. In that case, no matter what happens to Wang Lei, he will not die from the political crushing of the Luju Kingdom. If he achieves success in the future, the Lord of the Kingdom will Maybe they can be captured, at least no matter who is in power, Wang Lei, as a true disciple of Tianqiong Dao, the king will give him this face, so that he will not kill these people, add some operations, stay in Rouhuai County and continue to be Xiaoyao Officials, wouldn't it be even better? Rouhuai County, run by Wang Lei, is already quite wealthy. In a few years, it may not be even more prosperous than the capital city! "However, when these officials who are somewhat of a wallflower are removed, the rest of the people are a little worried about gains and losses. Xue Li is an example. On the one hand, he is also based on the idea of ????Wang Lei's success in cultivating Taoism. If Wang Lei becomes a true disciple of Tianqiong Tao, or goes one step further and becomes an elder of Tianqiong Tao, he will have to carry out an investigation on the leader of a country. It would be much easier to suppress and seize the position of king. However, on the other hand, they were afraid that Wang Lei would leave as soon as he left. There were examples like this in ancient times. A king was obsessed with cultivating Taoism, and even the principalities and princes did not want him. In that case, their Xue family would suffer, and the new king would The Lord will not let his family have an easy time. Maybe this generation will end. Wang Lei was sitting on the main seat, watching the performance of these staff officials, thinking freely in his heart. He first said a few words of comfort, and then communicatedAfter checking the government affairs, he asked those local officials who were not deeply attached to him to leave first. The remaining people are all people who are relatively close to Wang Lei. "Young master, you can't leave. If you leave, we will become rootless duckweeds, rootless trees, and motherless children, allowing others to bully us!" As soon as those unimportant people left. , Xue Li knelt down in front of Wang Lei with a mournful face in his arms and said, He looked like a child without a mother, how pitiful he was. "Get up, look at how stupid you are, you're not crying in mourning, are you cursing me?" Wang Lei looked at Xue Li and couldn't help but laugh and curse. "Uh You are here for Gaosheng, not that" After hearing this, Xue Li touched his big face with his big hand, wiped it with snot and tears, and threw it beside him. This guy is definitely thick-skinned, and he can change his face quickly. It was also comparable to the level of Sichuan Opera. After wiping it, he returned to normal. He knelt on the ground and asked Wang Lei: "Young master, what will happen to us people when you leave?" "Don't worry, I won't just leave. "Those who have done nothing," Wang Lei said, and then said: "Although I have always believed in treating everyone equally, as a human being, there are close friends and distant friends. The people who are left behind now are considered to be relatively close to me. Naturally, I will not treat everyone equally." After leaving, I must give an explanation to everyone." After listening to Wang Lei's words. The remaining officials couldn't help but fall forward in unison. He knelt on the ground and shouted in pain: "Young Master is so virtuous!" "Everyone, get up. I won't say anything imaginary. When it comes to this, I will say something more practical." Wang Lei said, and then said: "This time we are going to Tianqiong. Cultivating the Tao is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed. It is a step for me. I heard that to become a true disciple, I must practice silently for three years. During these three years, I may not be able to return to the country, but everyone, after three years, when I leave heaven When Qiong Dao Mountain Gate returned to Lu Ju, it was the time when Lu Ju¡¯s country was transformed!¡± After hearing Wang Lei¡¯s straightforward words, the bureaucrats and staff who had always felt that Wang Lei spoke euphemistically couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Stunned! On the other hand, Xue Li, the general in charge of the palace, immediately turned red with excitement and gasped for breath after hearing this. He yelled: "Young Master is wise! We will swear allegiance to you to death!" Seeing someone taking the lead, these staff and bureaucrats couldn't help shouting: "We will swear allegiance to you to death!" "There is no need to express our sincerity. If you keep shouting like this, you are probably overdoing it. In two days, the people in the capital will think that I am going to attack King Qin in the capital." Wang Lei waved his hand and said. He himself didn't believe it, the one in the capital. There is no detailed internal response in his own young master's house. "I give you a task. This task may be simple or easy, but no matter what, you must follow my orders and do it for me." Wang Lei took a sip of tea and said calmly to the followers below. . "Sir, please speak! We dare not obey orders!" Xue Li took the lead again. The officials below expressed their determination and loyalty again. Wang Lei nodded and said: "The task I give you is that within these three years, no matter what the domestic situation is, you must survive and live well, and try your best. Search for talents for me." "Saving your life? Is it that simple?" After hearing Wang Lei's words, Xue Li couldn't help but be stunned and said to Wang Lei. "Don't underestimate this mission My father is seriously ill. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive this year. I'm going to Tianqiong Road again. In the Luju Kingdom, my brother will definitely become the king. After he takes the throne, he will definitely treat those who follow him. He wants to suppress those who have passed me However, after all, I am not dead, but have become a true disciple of Tian Qiong Dao. He does not dare to suppress my people in name, but secretly In short, in the next three years, "These three years are very sad for you." "In these three years, you can surrender to my brother and do some things, but remember, don't betray your companions who are here now. After three years, when I am When you come back from the mountain gate of Tianqiong Road, it is time for you to stand up with another attitudeas a winner." "I can guarantee that those who follow me will have a bright future You are all the future pillars of the country," Wang Lei said with a smile, looking at the followers below. " If this kind of rhetoric were placed in the reality of ancient Earth, only a few fools would believe that a second son with no foundation and no status could succeed in seizing the direct descendant. However, this is not the Earth! This is the Hengtian Continent where the Taoist sect is extremely powerful! And Wang Lei wants to join the Tianqiong Dao among the twelve authentic sects in the Hengtian Continent! This is enough to give them confidence and comfort But I don¡¯t know if they have the courage and enough confidence to survive these three years. These three years must have been like hell but if you get over it, it will be heaven! "Swear to death"Dear Mr. Zhong! "Xue Li looked solemn and solemn, and said to Wang Lei! "Now half of the Xue family is the head of the family, but they only control the family's economic development. In fact, all other major events are on this big man who is like a living treasure! Although Xue Li seems unreliable, in fact, he is responsible for the future development of the entire family. At this time, what he said not only represents him, but represents the entire Xue family behind him. The whole family stood by Wang Lei without hesitation and put all their treasures on Wang Lei. ¡°Haha, okay, there¡¯s no need to be so tragic It¡¯s just a miserable life. Three years is not short, but long. , and it¡¯s really not long. "Wang Lei smiled and said to Xue Li. "Young Master, aren't I excited Um, Young Master, I heard that a Taoist retreats for three to five years, ten to eight years, even thirty to fifty years. It's normal. Don't forget about us as soon as you retreat! "After Xue Li expressed his stance, he returned to his usual appearance and said to Wang Lei with a scared look on his face. "Haha, it's not that bad. "Wang Lei said. Then he said: "You guys should go down and clean up. I will let you attend the welcome dinner to welcome the three Taoist brothers later. It¡¯s also a way for you to get to know each other. I think Hongkan Daozheng will also come, so you can get to know him too. " "Yes, Master! "After hearing this, these subordinates left one after another and made preparations. "Xue Li. "Wang Lei saw Xue Li walking at the end, but he stopped him. "Young Master. The end will be here! " Go to Tao Palace to find help. Maybe it can save your life at a critical moment, but this relationship is inseparable, so you have to be careful. "Wang Lei said to Xue Li. As soon as Wang Lei finished speaking, he saw tears in Xue Li's eyes. He didn't look like a big man. But he seemed like a wronged puppy. "Sir! You are the best to me, I know Xue Li knows! "Xue Li said to Wang Lei while wiping his tears. "Go, go, let me arrange it for you, but you are so disgusting" Wang Lei's whole body felt numb. This Xue Li, it would be better if he expressed his gratitude and worshiped directly. . Why do you want to make a confession? Goosebumps are rising on your back. "Sir, aren't I excited? Xue Li said while wiping his tears, Wang Lei shouted: "Go, go, quickly change your clothes and come to the dinner." " "yes! The general takes command! "Xue Li said, but as he walked, he wiped his tears. After walking out of the main hall, Wang Lei could still hear Xue Li's crying outside. "This man is really a living treasure. "Wang Lei flicked his forehead with a headache, and went down to prepare himself. About an hour later, in the main hall, the usual government hall was now singing and dancing. In the government hall, a group of dancers were dancing Dance, this dance also has some heroic spirit, but it is more reserved and obscure than the original dance Wang Lei saw in the Life Barrier. Wang Lei is sitting at the top. Next to him are three Taoists. After that, there was the seat of Rouhuai Taoist Zheng Hongkan. However, the three true disciples of Tianqiong Tao did not even look at Hongkan from the corner of their eyes. They just talked and drank. Hongkan also knew that he was among these people. He looked like nothing, enjoying himself and not interrupting. Occasionally, Wang Lei would say a few words to Hong Kan to liven up the atmosphere, but he would not be more neglected. The other officials from Rouhuai County took turns to come forward and talk about each other. There are two kinds of toasts. In the officialdom, whether you are a big or small official, a good official or a bad official, a good official, a foolish official, or an upright and corrupt official, there are two things that must be practiced, namely, flattery and drunken speeches. The officials and staff of Rouhuai County, They came forward one by one, talking about lavish things, but they didn't say anything important, which really showed their profound skills. Under Wang Lei's signal, these officials stuffed them one by one. They may not be good at seizing heirs, but they are good at flattering. , there was a flood of flattery, Wang Lei¡¯s meaning was obvious, these are all Taoist masters, if you can¡¯t get them drunk with wine, you can flatter them with flattery! For a moment, there was a flood of flattery The three Taoists at the head were After listening to these flattery words, the youngest one here should be Qingfeng. He is only in his twenties and has been focusing on practicing Taoism for a long time. He has not had much experience in this kind of situation. At this time, he was sitting in the first place and was attacked. The flattery here is talking about blushing, and I always feel that I am not as good as they say, but when I really think about it, it is really a bit like that. It is not intoxicated, nor is it angry. I sit here with a blushing face and say His heart was not strong anymore, and he kept scratching his head and head, and could only cover up his embarrassment by drinking. But the Taoist Qingming had a look of disdain, as if he was aloof, and he seemed to be a Qingming.Liu, disdainful of this kind of flattery, but there is still an endless stream of flattery below. He seems to be snorting non-stop, but if you look closely, you can find that he snorts those flattering photos that are straightforward and explicit. Some of the flattery is tactful and elegant, without traces, and has some literary standards. The cold snort of the Qingming Taoist is not so harsh, and maybe even gentler. Sometimes the rising tone of "huh?" It seemed that he didn't hear the allusion in the flattery sound clearly. He seemed to ask those who flattered him if he was smart enough to explain it. The hum of "um" became a falling tone, as if he was doing something to the flattery. Just like the comments, there was also praise in the cold snort. Taoist Qingping, on the other hand, was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, his eyes seemed to be sleeping but his flattering words were heard in his ears. His face was red, but there was no trace of it. He said a few words from time to time, but it was clever. Pointing out some of the shortcomings of flattery, as well as some of the subtleties of flattery, the officials below, after listening to his comments, felt as if they were being enlightened by a master. These gentle officials soon Then I realized that this Taoist Qingping was actually the master of this sycophancy! "This world's subtle influence on people can be seen That Qingfeng, who has just entered Taoism, is like a novice at the beginning, and like a naive young man. After listening to flattery, his face will not turn red, but he will be shy. That Qingming Taoist, obviously He is a lot more sophisticated, and he seems to have heard a lot of flattery, but he has some sexual quirks, and he also likes literature. He is not a literary flatterer, but he is hard of hearing, and he is a bit picky about food. As for Taoist Qingping, he has already tended to In this state, flattery is welcome, and the red light on his face is the rosy glow of enjoying flattery. For him, flattery is just as enjoyable as smoking a cigarette. The occasional guidance also shows that he is A master of this Tao, it seems that within the Tao sect, you still have to master the magic of flattery" Wang Lei thought in his mind while drinking and smiling.
