Chapter 99 Xu Bai Heads Straight to Fuyin Posthouse (8000)

When Xu Bai said this, Yun Zihai was obviously stunned. Then, Yun Zihai was full of confusion and scratched his head, not knowing what Xu Bai wanted to say.

What else can he help with?

Qingxue was also full of confusion, not knowing what the situation was, but Xu Bai didn't seem to call her or let her leave, which meant that she could stay here and listen.

Everyone was smart, and Qingxue knew that since Xu Bai didn't let her leave, he must want her to hear what he said next.

"After this matter is over, His Majesty the Emperor will get the news, and your rewards will naturally be indispensable." Xu Bai stared at Yun Zihai and smiled.

Yun Zihai nodded after hearing this, indicating that it was indeed the case.

At the end, he added one more sentence.

"Brother Xu, don't worry, I will definitely help you get those two exercises, and I, Yun Zihai, keep my word."

He thought that Xu Bai was because of the two exercises, and hurriedly said that he would never break his promise and would definitely do what he promised Xu Bai.

Xu Bai shook his head and said, "Brother Yun, I still trust you. I'm not asking you for help because of this matter. I want to ask, which government do you plan to work for in the future?"

I've heard before that Yun Zihai and the emperor agreed that once Yun Zihai finished this matter, the emperor would give Yun Zihai a government and let Yun Zihai be the governor of the government. In this government, all matters will be managed by Yun Zihai himself.

It can be said to be a great power. After all, so far, the Great Chu State has never set such a precedent. This is the first time.

Of course, this is also what Yun Zihai dreams of.

He can manage it himself, without having to care about the disputes of power around him. He can do his best to bring peace to the place he governs, which is his lifelong pursuit.

"Brother Yun, I won't say anything else. We are all straightforward people. I will go straight to the point. I want to go to the mansion under your jurisdiction and be the head of Yinyi. I have another person under my command who wants to go with me." Xu Bai said this, no longer concealing his thoughts, and directly said his thoughts one by one.

His previous plan was to stay in Sheng County and become the head of Yinyi in Sheng County.

But just last night, his idea changed completely, and the reason was very simple, because of the female master.

Last night, the battle between King Shengyou and the female master was so fierce that the sky was dark and the sun and moon were dim. It was unparalleled at the time.

After that, he was taken by the female master to the cave, and he kept thinking that this world was still too dangerous for him.

Originally, he planned to develop slowly, but it seems that it is not possible now. He must grow up quickly.

Just like Liu Xu and Wuhua said, Sheng County is too small, especially for Xu Bai, it is outrageously small.

Even in Yinyi, those businessmen can't bring many things that trigger progress bars.

But the prefecture is different, even higher than the Daoling who killed the county magistrate before, enough for him to trigger more progress bars.

Besides, Yun Zihai will be the prefectural magistrate there, the local parent official.

Isn't this related...

These days, you still have to use some human relationships, right?

Having a friend who is a prefectural magistrate is very smooth.

When Xu Bai said this idea, Yun Zihai's expression was dull. After a long time, he reacted, and then the dull expression disappeared, revealing ecstasy.

"If Brother Xu is willing, I welcome you!"

This is really a surprise, at least for Yun Zihai, it is a huge surprise.

In fact, before taking this mission, he had already started planning how to govern the area under his jurisdiction once he succeeded, and the most uncomfortable one was Yinyi.

The reason is actually very simple. Yinyi is a place in the wilderness. It takes time and effort to govern it. In addition, Yinyi is very important and requires great efforts.

Now Xu Bai actually said that he wanted to go to the mansion under his jurisdiction and be a postmaster.

Then what else is there to think about? If you agree, it's done. If you don't agree, you're a fool?

With Xu Bai, don't worry.

"Brother Xu, there is absolutely no problem. We have settled this matter. Don't regret it." Yun Zihai agreed quickly.

Xu Bai: "..."

Why do I always feel like I'm losing out?

Is it really a loss?

Something is wrong.

Xu Bai fell into deep thought.

He felt that when he said it just now, he should have added some additional conditions, such as taking some benefits. It's a pity that the words have been spoken, and it's too late to change it now.

Qingxue's face was complicated, her eyes stopped on Xu Bai, and she thought about many things.

She understood why Xu Bai wanted her to stay here and why he let her hear the conversation between the two.

This was telling her openly that what he said before was not perfunctory, but the truth.

Xu Bai had said before that he would not help the Ninth Princess.

Now he was using Qingxue's eyes to let her convey to the Ninth Princess that he was not lying, but really did not want to go.

I would rather go to Yinyi than to the capital.

I don't want to get involved in your fight.

This is the answer Xu Bai gave.

This man is very meticulous, and Qingxue also sensed that the other side of this man is so unfathomable.

All that Xu Bai did just now was equivalent to giving Princess Nine a step to walk down.

Not offending people, and even making Princess Nine feel good.

Sometimes you really need to pay attention to emotional intelligence when doing things.

If you give others enough face, others will give you face. If you don't care about face, others will definitely give you a cold shoulder.

Of course, if you meet someone who gives enough face but doesn't give face, just go up and slap him.

"I'm leaving today, Xu Bai. The trip to Sheng County gave me too much stimulation, but I still thank you for saving me twice." Qingxue bowed slightly to Xu Bai.

Right is right, wrong is wrong, and others will definitely thank you for your kindness.

"Let's have a farewell hug." Xu Bai opened his hands and teased.

He thought it was just a tease, but he didn't expect a warm body to fall into his arms, and he was gently hugged by Qingxue.

Qingxue let go of her hands and said, "I will tell the Ninth Princess that you are a person who does not fight with the world."

Xu Bai smiled and said, "This hug actually gave me some surprises. I didn't expect Miss Qingxue to be ordinary at first glance, but there is something special inside."

Qingxue looked directly at Xu Bai, and apart from seeing the calmness in Xu Bai's eyes, she didn't see any waves: "Beauty can't make you tempted, so I can go back with peace of mind. At least you won't stand opposite us because of beauty."

They can become the close maids of the Ninth Princess, so they are naturally a hundred times better at observing words and expressions. From the hug just now to leaving, the look in Xu Bai's eyes did not change at all.

"That's not necessarily true. If it was Miss Qingxue, I would consider it." Xu Bai said fierce words, but his eyes were calm.

Qingxue stopped talking. She knew that Xu Bai was just teasing.

Then, Yun Zihai and Qingxue did not stay any longer. After discussing the next things, they left.

Qingxue set off for the capital.

Yun Zihai returned to the county government. At least before leaving, he had to deploy the remaining things so that the new county magistrate could take over smoothly.

After the two left, Xu Bai stretched his waist, opened the window of the room, and looked at the sun hanging high in the sky and the white clouds in the blue sky.

"Continue, work hard."

The nameless sword scripture obtained from Zhou Qing was taken out. Looking at the progress bar on it, Xu Bai sat in the seat closest to the window and worked hard attentively.

...

Time will not treat everyone differently. It is fair to everyone and will not stop for someone.

During this period, major events in Sheng County occurred one after another, and when King Shengyou walked out of the tomb, major events were happening everywhere.

Those old antiques who have come from a long time ago all looked at the sky above their heads, their eyes showing contemplation.

Between heaven and earth, there was a unique murderous aura, although it was very faint, but it merged with heaven and earth again.

"I didn't expect that the prince back then was not dead. It's interesting. His Majesty's thoughts are indeed beyond our guess."

This was the thought of the old monsters in unison. After they had this idea, they were all silent.

In those days, the hot-tempered King Shengyou was different from the emperor. He led his army straight up when he disagreed with him.

This also caused many people in the rivers and lakes at that time to remember what King Shengyou did vividly, and they still felt a little embarrassed when they thought about it now.

They restrained their disciples under their command, and they must be cautious in their words and deeds, and never offend this prince.

In the palace.

In a wide and magnificent hall, the door was closed, and at the door, stood two eunuchs in eunuch uniforms.

"Hahaha!"

A hearty laugh suddenly rang out from inside the door, and even the entire palace could hear it clearly.

"My brother is alive, hahaha, come on, tell the Ninth Princess that the palace is holding a major ceremony, regardless of expenses, I want to welcome him."

"Yes!"

The two eunuchs at the door bowed and agreed. When one of them looked up, he had disappeared from the spot, and he didn't see clearly how he disappeared.

The palace is full of masters, even a gatekeeper eunuch should not be underestimated.

Vajra Temple.

In the Sutra Pavilion.

Wuhua sat cross-legged in a corner of the Sutra Pavilion. In front of him, there were three layers of Buddhist scriptures, and the number was so large that it made people's scalps numb.

From time to time, monks walked in and out of the Sutra Pavilion, and when they saw Wuhua in the corner, they all shook their heads.

Since he came back last time, Wuhua has been staying in the Sutra Library, and he has not read any books related to his own strength. He just stared at the Buddhist scriptures, reading word by word.

His brothers and sisters didn't understand, but they didn't bother him, and each did their own thing.

But today, Wuhua seemed different.

In the corner of the Sutra Library, Wuhua still maintained a cross-legged posture, but his eyes were no longer dull, but tightly closed.

It was unknown how long it took for this state to gradually disappear, and his tightly closed eyes slowly opened.

"Hu..." Wuhua let out a long breath, and all the confusion and puzzlement he had before had been solved.

Standing up from the ground, he did not continue to sit cross-legged, but classified the Buddhist scriptures in front of him one by one, then walked out of the Sutra Library and came to his master's room.

"Duoduoduo..." Wuhua raised his hand and knocked on the door, then put his hand down and kept his hands together.

"Come in."

In the room, the voice of his master Kongchan rang.

Wuhua then pushed the door open and walked inside.

After entering the room, he turned around and closed the door, then came to Kongchan and slowly said good morning, master.

Kongchan looked at the scar on Wuhua's head and smiled, "I didn't expect that my disciple is so talented. After untying his knot, he even jumped to the sixth level."

The scar on the top of the head of King Kong Temple was put on by themselves, and the strength of the scar has a direct reaction to the scar.

"Master, the disciple has understood everything and is no longer disturbed by the cause and effect in front of him. His strength will naturally rise." Wuhua bowed.

"What are your plans for the future?" Kongchan asked.

He didn't ask Wuhua what he thought, but just asked about his future plans. After all, everyone has different ways to break the deadlock, so it's useless to ask.

"The disciple wants to continue to stay in the Jiantian Division. He has entered the sixth level, so he will take the examination for the position of Sizheng and manage the affairs of a prefecture." Wuhua said respectfully.

"Oh?" Kongchan was slightly surprised: "I thought you wanted to leave the Jiantian Division."

The Jiantian Division is divided into Jian, Tian, ​​Zheng, and Li, and manages the capital, state, prefecture, and road, which can be said to be clearly divided.

In Kongchan's mind, Wuhua was originally thought to leave the Heavenly Guardian Division, but unexpectedly, he did the opposite.

"There are many things that disciples cannot do, but there are also many things that disciples can do. As long as they are in one place and within the scope of their authority, they can do it." Wuhua touched his bald head and said.

"Your Majesty..." Kongchan hesitated for a while and spoke.

But he just said two words and then stopped talking.

Wuhua raised his head with a firm look: "Your Majesty sacrificed the lives of a small number of people to save more people. Even now, I still don't agree, but I won't interfere, because..."

"Because everyone has different ideas?" Kongchan said.

"No, because if I interfere, I will die." Wuhua said seriously: "But I still have many dreams that have not been fulfilled and I can't die."

Kongchan: "..."

It's said directly, but it's really what it means.

Dare to disobey His Majesty, no matter what kind of genius disciple you are, go to the execution ground first.

Wuhua's words are very realistic, but they also make sense, which is also what Kongchan appreciates the most.

Foolishly practicing Buddhism, but not understanding the principles of the world, will only make you a fool.

"Then go and take the test. By the way, there is one more thing about Xu Bai, you might want to hear it." Kong Chan said with a smile.

Wuhua was stunned, and then subconsciously asked what it was.

Kong Chan didn't waste time and told the story of Xu Bai and King Shengyou.

These days, is there a wall that is impermeable?

Of course, Kong Chan didn't know that King Shengyou valued Xu Bai very much, he only knew that Xu Bai was involved.

Wuhua recovered and his face was normal: "If it happened to Mr. Xu, it would be normal."

"You value Xu Bai so much?" Kong Chan became interested.

Wuhua just nodded and told the experience with Xu Bai again.

"If there is a chance, I can meet him." Kong Chan's interest became stronger and stronger.

In the room, the master and apprentice talked more and more.

...

Qingyun Academy.

In the library.

Liu Xu was holding a book in her hand, leaning against the window on the second floor, looking at the night while reading the book in her hand.

After returning to Qingyun Academy, she had been in the library for a long time, and she had read all the books on this floor.

After reading day and night, her strength had already reached the peak of the eighth level, and she was only one step away from entering the seventh level.

But she could not enter, and she stayed at the peak. Even if she read all the seventh-level books on this floor, there was still no progress.

"What kind of book is it?"

Unconsciously, Liu Xu's mind moved away from the book and was completely devoted to the night in front of her.

The scenery of Qingyun Academy is very good, and it is full of the fragrance of books everywhere. Even if an ordinary person walks into it, he will be influenced and more or less affected.

Looking at the beautiful night, Liu Xu's mood became more and more irritable, and even felt that she could not calm down.

After coming back for so long, she still couldn't break through her own magic barrier and was trapped here.

Teacher Wang Qingfeng told her to come to the library to find the answer, but she never found it and became more and more confused.

Most of the content in the book explains a truth.

——Learn literary and martial arts, and sell them to the emperor.

In these books, it seems that scholars study the books of sages in order to create a peaceful and prosperous era with their own talents.

And the channel is the Great Chu State.

But... can it really work?

Liu Xu was very confused and puzzled, and she felt that her passion was gradually cooling down.

When she heard that the emperor of the Great Chu State sacrificed the lives of the people just to destroy the Jisheng Sect, she had already developed a deep sense of powerlessness.

She knew very well that this was a matter of short pain rather than long pain, but her mind made it impossible for her to get out of the current predicament and she was always trapped in the same place.

From beginning to end, Liu Xu's goal was to obtain fame and create a Great Chu State full of fairness and justice.

But now it seems that this is really possible? Or, does she really need to obtain fame and honor?

Liu Xu walked to the bookshelf, put the book in her hand steadily, and smoothed the folds on it.

The white veil covered her face, so her expression could not be seen clearly, but her beautiful eyes showed her panic and uncertainty.

After clenching her five fingers into a fist, Liu Xu hit her head hard.

"What should I do?"

The confusion in her heart became more and more, making her upset and at a loss.

Just then, a familiar footstep sounded, and Liu Xu turned her eyes to the stairs and found that her teacher Wang Qingfeng came up.

"Hello, teacher." Liu Xu clasped her hands together and performed a disciple's salute.

Wang Qingfeng was holding a pile of books in his hands, which seemed to be more than ten books. He walked to Liu Xu and put the more than ten books on the ground.

Liu Xu didn't understand the meaning, and her big eyes were full of doubts.

"The true solution to paper-making." Wang Qingfeng said slowly: "This book is more profound than the key to paper-making. Since you can't break through by reading ordinary books, then take a look at these."

After saying that, Wang Qingfeng paused, took out another book, and handed it to Liu Xu.

"Some autobiographies made by paper-drawing people may be useful to you."

Liu Xu looked at the book in front of her with her eyes wide open.

She still remembered that when she entered the eighth grade from the ninth grade, she also read things about paper-drawing people, and finally succeeded in breaking through.

Now her teacher actually gave her another book about paper-drawing people, which made her feel confused and puzzled.

"Teacher, you say... Is this still considered as the noble spirit?" Liu Xu thought for a long time, and finally decided to ask.

Now, her noble spirit has long become something else. Although it is also inspired by scholars, it always feels gloomy.

"Who said it's not?" Wang Qingfeng glared and said, "Have you forgotten what I taught you at the beginning? You are a scholar, and you must have a firm idea in your heart. As long as you think you are, that is, as long as you get knowledge from books, that is your noble spirit."

At the end, he added a sentence.

"Besides, everyone in the academy knows your situation, and no one has denied it. What are you worried about? Are you not confident in yourself?"

Liu Xu heard this and opened one of the books.

After taking a quick look, she raised her head.

"Teacher, don't worry. I will stay up all night to understand the truth."

Wang Qingfeng smiled and left without saying anything else.

Liu Xu waited until her teacher left, then bent down to pick up a book, came to the window, and started to study under the moonlight and oil lamp.

...

The next day.

Liu Xu walked out of the library early, and her mental state was different.

If it were usual, she would always feel a sense of dejection, but now, every step she took was full of confidence.

"Six grades in one night, I really didn't make a mistake." Wang Qingfeng's voice came from behind.

Liu Xu paused, turned around, and was surprised.

"Teacher, you waited for me outside all night?"

"Let's go, let's go to the canteen first, and we'll talk while walking." Wang Qingfeng did not answer Liu Xu's words. After passing Liu Xu, he led the way in front.

Liu Xu thought about it and followed behind him.

The two walked in Qingyun Academy, no one spoke, very quietly.

After a while, Wang Qingfeng seemed to think that the surroundings were too quiet, so he broke the silence.

"Liu Xu, the Great Chu State will soon have an exam. Do you plan to take a test?" Wang Qingfeng asked while walking without looking back, as if chatting about family matters.

Liu Xu whispered: "No, I want to join the Jiantian Division."

Wang Qingfeng stopped for a moment, then turned around, his face full of surprise.

Thinking of how Liu Xu ran from the eighth rank to the sixth rank overnight, and thinking of Liu Xu's answer now, Wang Qingfeng seemed to think of something.

"You... solved the mystery in your heart and made such a decision?" Wang Qingfeng said.

Liu Xu raised her head and looked at Wang Qingfeng fearlessly, saying, "Teacher, I have been thinking and reading all night. The books you gave me have benefited me a lot. I found that I am not suitable for being an official."

Wang Qingfeng fell silent and did not answer, waiting for Liu Xu to continue.

Liu Xu put her black hair behind her ears and said in a voice like an oriole: "My personality is more suitable for the world."

She learned a truth from those books last night.

She is different from Yun Zihai, and the difference lies in their different ways of dealing with problems.

Yun Zihai hopes to rely on official positions to solve his dreams, but Liu Xu is very different.

What Liu Xu hopes is to solve all problems at the simplest and most direct speed, that is, to use more tough means.

For example, when dealing with the young master of the Lin family, he directly disguised himself as a man in black and wanted to kill him.

So she has thought clearly and made a decision.

Wang Qingfeng looked at Liu Xu's determined eyes and finally sighed: "It's up to you."

Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and adapting to local conditions has always been Wang Qingfeng's way of teaching students, otherwise he would not have found some paper-making things for Liu Xu to see.

Now that his own disciple has made a choice, he certainly respects it, so he did not stop it. At least in his opinion, it is not a bad thing.

"By the way, Xu Bai, who you told me about before, has a big thing." Wang Qingfeng seemed to think of something and told him about Xu Bai and Sheng Youwang. Of course, he was the same. He only knew that Xu Bai was involved in the incident of Sheng Youwang.

After listening, Liu Xu had a blank expression on his face, as if he didn't feel strange.

"Don't you feel very strange?" Wang Qingfeng asked doubtfully.

"If it happened to other people, I would find it very strange, but for Xu Bai, everything is normal." Liu Xu acted very calmly.

"Okay, I don't want to get involved in the things between you young people. Let's go and have dinner." Wang Qingfeng didn't say anything more and left with Liu Xu.

…

Time passed unnoticed, and in the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

Shengxian.

Xu Bai sat on the chair, still working on the Nameless Sword Scripture in his hand.

The progress bar of the Nameless Sword Scripture was almost complete, and what he lacked now was just a little time.

During this period of time, Qingxue left, and Yun Zihai also left.

Before Yun Zihai left, he ran to the escort agency and asked Xu Bai what type of skills he needed.

Xu Bai said that he needed two fifth-level mental methods.

His attack and defense are now very complete, and what he needs most at the moment is a mental method that can improve his true foundation.

Don't forget that up to now, he is still an eighth-grade master.

And the reason why he can suppress the sixth-grade is entirely due to three skills.

—— Diamond Heart Demon Body, Dou Zhuan Xing Yi, and Kidney Strengthening Method.

In the final analysis, his current true energy is not enough for him to fight for a long time, but he can fight in terms of explosive power.

There are shortcomings, but not many, but still need to make up for the shortcomings, so two fifth-level mental methods can give him a huge improvement.

"Calculating the time, he should be back soon." Xu Bai thought to himself without taking his eyes off the nameless sword scripture in his hand.

As he thought so, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and then, knocks on the door sounded at the same time.

"Master, Lord Yun is here." Liu Er came from outside.

Xu Bai's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked Liu Er to bring Yun Zihai in.

It's really a case of speaking of the devil, and Yun Zihai just came back.

Outside the door, Liu Er agreed and left quickly. After a while, Yun Zihai walked in from outside, pushed open the door, and after entering the room impatiently, he closed the door.

"Brother Xu, it's done." Yun Zihai walked closer and put the two books on the table.

While speaking, he couldn't help coughing twice, and the paleness on his face did not fade.

Congenital deficiency has caused Yun Zihai to still look weak and sickly. No one would believe that he is a sixth-grade master.

Xu Bai picked up the two books, flipped through them casually, and then put them back on the table with satisfaction after confirming that there was a progress bar.

"One is the mental method used by martial artists, and the other is Taoist." Yun Zihai said: "But there is still a problem. Your affairs cannot be concealed."

At the beginning, when Yun Zihai asked Xu Bai what type he needed, Xu Bai gave the answer.

The mental method of martial artists must be there. In terms of fighting, martial artists are indeed more professional.

Secondly, it is the Taoist mental method.

The two skills of Dou Zhuan Xing Yi and Xing Si Bu Fa are both from Taoism.

Xu Bai thought that if he added the Taoist mental method, would there be any miraculous effect? ​​He had to try it.

"With the matter of Sheng You Wang, it is particularly difficult for you to hide your identity. After all, you are now famous among many people." Yun Zihai explained the whole story.

Now the whole martial arts world is spreading the rumor that there is a young swordsman who participated in the resurrection of King Shengyou and made a great contribution.

Speaking of the martial arts world, the level of information is really high.

It is said that this young man is covered with black light and has great strength.

Of course, no one knows why the fact that Xu Bai was favored by King Shengyou was not spread.

But everyone with a discerning eye knows that Xu Bai may have a great background. After all, His Majesty did not express anything after knowing this.

Sometimes, no expression will lead to a lot of speculation.

"Hey, His Majesty actually told me, just one sentence, he doesn't want to get involved in his brother's affairs." Yun Zihai coughed again and said, "But Brother Xu, I think His Majesty's intention seems to be to summon you to the palace, but the prince must have said something to him."

Yun Zihai was amused when he talked about this.

Because when His Majesty was talking to him, the expression on his face was very interesting, just like a scholar meeting a soldier, and he was speechless.

It is said that His Majesty and King Shengyou quarreled in the room for a long time, and His Majesty's room of precious porcelain, landscape calligraphy and paintings were smashed by his younger brother.

But everyone in the palace knew that it was normal for the two to quarrel. They were more united than anyone else when something happened.

So no one dared to say anything.

Xu Bai touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

He didn't understand what the emperor was thinking, but it was a good thing that he would not be recruited into the palace. He just wanted to grow up now, and too much involvement in the affairs between the rivers and lakes and the royal family would hinder him.

Although there were benefits, it also brought dangers.

"Brother Yun, has the location of your jurisdiction been finalized?" Xu Bai asked.

"It's finalized. It's in Yunlai Prefecture. Sheng County is also under the jurisdiction of Yunlai Prefecture." Yun Zihai explained: "We will leave tomorrow. You may have to clean up your side faster. As for the matter of Yinyi, they are ready to hand over at any time."

Tomorrow?

Xu Bai didn't expect that it would go so fast.

But it was also a good thing to be able to leave early. He could count on the progress bar in other places.

The two chatted for a while, and Yun Zihai left. After all, he had to rush to the new jurisdiction soon. He had a lot of things to do, and he also needed to do various tasks here.

After Yun Zhihai left, Xu Bai looked at the three books in his hand, put away the two mental methods, and read the Nameless Sword Sutra again.

In Xu Bai's eyes, the progress bar of the Nameless Sword Sutra slowly increased, and finally it was completely completed.

Out of Sheng County, a new world, a new beginning
