The long night was as heavy as water, the lights of Anfeng Hou Mansion were gone and the door was closed.
Qi Jingzhi stood in front of the door of the mansion with a strict atmosphere but no one else, and clearly heard the long breathing sounds behind the door.
Before waiting for the green official uniform of Changle County Magistrate Cui Zitao, who was wearing a green official uniform, came forward and knocked on the door, and the side door on the side of the main door was suddenly opened.
A solemn face of the Hou Mansion came out, waved his hand at Cui Zitao, looked at Qi Jingzhi and Bannu again, and did not speak, but made a silent gesture of Suke.
Cui Zitao obviously knew the manager. At this time, he was shocked when he saw the other party's appearance, but he did not speak out in a slight way. He immediately bowed his hand and followed the other party through the edge door.
Qi Jingzhi and Bannu followed behind. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a huge black screen wall standing in the courtyard. There were no pictures and patterns on it, only sixteen huge golden inscriptions: "Firefire furnace, melting iron and elves, vigorous and powerful, and powerful in Haidong."
If Qi Jing's response was not bad, the shadow wall was made of iron in the East China Sea, and the gold energy inside was condensed, like a mountain or a sea.
Under the moonlight, in front of the screen wall, there were many strong armored soldiers wearing iron clothes standing solemnly. Everyone was wearing swords and horses, standing still. Apart from the breathing of people and war horses, there was no other sound, almost blending with the iron wall behind him.
Qi Jingzhi noticed that the outfits of these soldiers were exactly the same as those under the Gu team guarding the East Gate. They were clearly elites under the command of the county army commander, and for some reason they appeared in the Anfeng Marquis' Mansion.
Under the leadership of the marquis's office, Cui Zitao, Qi Jingzhi and Bannu walked by the array of these soldiers, but saw another army formation behind the iron wall, with a lot more people than in front of the iron wall. The army was also sturdy and did not hear any noise. Even whether it was a breath, physical or war horse, it was even better than the elite county army soldiers separated by a wall. It was supposed to be the personal guards of Anfeng Hou.
Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi felt enlightened. Last night, Tiangou broke the city gate and broke the Wei family's death. Today, there was another bloody case of the Wei family extermination. Marquis Anfeng could not not respond. Now the Marquis's mansion is clearly a situation where the outside is loose and tight inside. It seems that the Marquis's mansion is not satisfied with guarding his own door, but is ready to send troops to quell the chaos at any time.
The few people walked silently for a moment and entered an extremely open courtyard, which was also surrounded by iron guards, tightly covering a lonely warm pavilion.
Geshu Dashi was also wearing a pair of heavy iron armor and guarded the door of the warm-up pavilion with a bamboo cow.
After not seeing each other for a day, this brother Shu's purple beard and blue-eyed man was obviously no longer just a small husband slave in the Hou Mansion.
After he put on his armor, his body became more burly and his aura became more majestic. In addition, his face was solemn and his temperament was calm. Although he was still young, he had already shown a bit of a general look.
Seeing Qi Jingzhi from afar, Geshu Dashi's face immediately thawed, showing a little sincere smile, and his body moved, and his armor leaves were clanging.
The young man with purple beard and blue eyes blocked the face of several people. Although he had a smile on his face, he had no intention of greetings. He only said in a stiff tone: "The mount must not be entered!"
Qi Jingzhi smiled back and then nodded to Bannu.
Bannu immediately ran around and came to Zhuniu, and was squeezed into one place with this strange beast that was also reborn and was said to be able to subdue the tiger.
Seeing this, Geshu Dashi stood sideways and moved away from the road to the warming pavilion.
When the two sides passed by, he couldn't help but whisper: "What's wrong with Brother Bao?"
Qi Jingzhi did not turn his head and replied in a low voice: "All the clans are destroyed, and their spirits are still strong. If it is time to go, the Jin sword Wei in Liaozhou will be able to be famous again in the East China Sea."
Geshu Dashi's face slowed down again, and then he retreated to Zhuniu and stood still.
On this deeper autumn night, there is a red furnace displaying in the warm pavilion, which is as warm as spring. Especially in the center of the warm pavilion, there is a huge bronze incense burner, with a faint light of fire and a warm fragrance.
The marquis's office manager did not follow in, and there were only a few people in the pavilion, including Ding Chengyuan, the Marquis of Anfeng.
Cui Zitao stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Cui Zitao, the magistrate of Changle County, has met Marquis Ding, Lord Han's Mansion, Zang Dutong, and all the great masters!"
In the latter sentence, he said to the entourage behind the county magistrate and the county army commander.
When Qi Jingzhi heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved.
In addition to the Demon-Suppressing Commander, all the high-ranking officials and officials from Jiuzhen County have arrived. They are still gathered in the Anfeng Marquis' Mansion so late. It is obvious that they have important matters to discuss, but they call him, the lowly Demon-Suppressing Academy, to attack the Demon-Suppressing Academy. I really don't know what abacus Ding Chengyuan was thinking.
As early as when Cui Zitao entered the door, the county magistrate Han, Zang Dutong and one or two entourages behind them showed a look of surprise on his face, and his eyes were even more focused on his colorful tiger eyebrows and strange-colored eyes.
When Cui Zitao spoke, the sharp fangs in his mouth could no longer be concealed and showed them brightly in front of everyone.
The shock on the face of the Han Jun Magistrate could not hide his shock, and he couldn't help but stand up and quickly walked to Cui Zitao.
He looked closely at the Changle County Magistrate for a while, then suddenly turned back to Ding Chengyuan: "Marty, he is..."
Ding Chengyuan laughed, obviously feeling extremely happy, and then nodded seriously and said solemnly: "As you have seen, my nephew's blood has revived, and he is already an absolute descendant of the Donglai Jun's bloodline. The richness of his bloodline is the only one I have seen in my life, and his achievements will be limitless in the future!"
"Donglai Jun has made great contributions to the country, and the Ding and Cui families are long-standing blood relatives. When this marquis reports to the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely be given a title and a title soon. The Cui family in Yecheng will return to the ranks of the Saint Jiang Party!"
After being confirmed by Anfeng Hou, the county magistrate Han immediately looked solemn, and immediately took two steps back, bowed to Cui Zitao as a bow: "I'm not respectful! Han Songde, the governor of Jiuzhen County, congratulates Cui's family in Yecheng!"
Almost at the same time, Zang Dutong also stood up and clasped his fists at Cui Zitao, with a solemn expression and a strong voice: "Zang Hailiang, the chief of the Jiuzhen County Army, congratulates the Cui family in Yecheng!"
The other members bowed deeply and congratulated each other in unison.
Seeing this scene, Qi Jingzhi was deeply surprised. Only then did he truly realize the weight of the four words "Saint Jiang Menting" that could actually reverse the superiority and inferiority, and ordered the county magistrate and the county army to bow to a county magistrate.
At the same time, the Holy Jiang Party, which the aristocratic family and officials recognized by officials, was far more than just a genius of the direct blood of the Saint Jiang. For example, Lu Ao also had a blood revival, or a more respectable Yujiao Shennong family, but he was only taken to the Chiyousi, the Demonic Academy of the Guodu, by Dong Mao. Although his parents and Dalang of the Lu family got some benefits, they were really different from the Cui family in Yecheng.
Listening to Ding Chengyuan's voice, if you want to be included in the Holy Jiang Party, the titles you obtained by your ancestors in Daqi were the top priority. It is also indispensable to have important relatives like Ding, the Marquis of Anfeng, who wrote letters to him to ask for titles.
The county magistrate Han Songde was a little hesitant at first, but after receiving Ding Chengyuan's personal guarantee, he immediately changed his attitude, just because in the eyes of these officials of Jiuzhen County, the family revival of the Cui family in Yecheng had these conditions.
Amid the congratulations from everyone in the pavilion, Cui Zitao's body immediately trembled slightly, and he seemed drunk and had a little unstable foothold.
Tears flashed in his eyes, he took a deep breath, and slowly bowed back to his salute: "Thank you, sirs! Cui wasted twenty-six years and achieved nothing in mediocrity. Fortunately, thanks to the great blessings of the king and his ancestors, he was given the favor of Donglai Lord once, and was able to carry forward the Taoist tradition and serve the king. From then on, he has hope of revitalizing his family reputation!"
Speaking of the emotional part, Cui Zitao was already choking: "Zitao knew that his virtue was shallow, and he was very worried since he was ordered, and he was walking on thin ice. If he was taught by all the adults, he would be very grateful!"
"Don't dare!"
The county magistrate Han Songde solemnly returned the courtesy again and said solemnly: "The Cui family is about to revival, and my brother has a bright future. Just wait for the marquis to write a letter to the king and surrender to the grace. How could we gossip?"
He paused and said again: "What's more, the situation in the city is now corruption. Apart from the few people in this pavilion, I don't know who else can trust me. The Cui family in Yecheng is one of the sage Jiang, so I can naturally trust it. I am also the county magistrate of the county town, so it's time to come!"
After saying that, Han Songde turned his gaze to Qi Jingzhi, who was standing aside. Obviously, in the mind of the county magistrate, the people who could trust in this warm pavilion did not include this young man.
Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi immediately stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "The Linzhou Demon-Suppressing Academy's attack on the other side of the army, Qi Jingzhi, came at the order of Ding Hou!"
"Well? But the one who traveled thousands of miles to return the Red Golden Sword to the Wei family?"
When Han Songde heard about the identity of the young man, he was quite surprised. His eyes looked at him became much gentler, but he was still confused. He couldn't figure out why Anfeng Hou wanted to invite a small anti-inspection officer into the warm-up hall. However, Ding Chengyuan's words were obviously not finished, so the county magistrate did not rush to ask.
"Isn't it him? Qi Jishi is entrusted by others, and the loyal people are worthy of the name of a rebel!"
As soon as Ding Chengyuan said this, everyone in the pavilion nodded.
He naturally knew everyone's doubts, but did not rush to answer them. Instead, he reached out to Han Songde's original seat: "Mr. Han, please return to your seat first, oh... Let's sit down with the nephew and Qi Jishi!"
When the county magistrate walked back and sat down, Cui Zitao sat down at his lower head, and everyone's eyes fell on the young man who was still standing there.
Qi Jingzhi bowed his fists to Ding Chengyuan and said calmly: "Although I am not a person who is inferior to himself, I know that I am from the mountains and fields, my cultivation is only the second level, and my position is just a military officer who is not of a rank in another state. However, he was summoned by the Minister of Ding and was able to enter the house and sit with the same seat as the Lord of Dukes. This is even more treacherous than the magistrate of County Cui, as if walking on thin ice... If Ding Hou has an order, please tell me clearly first!"
"oh?"
Ding Chengyuan suddenly curled his lips and asked with a smile: "Qi Jishi is unwilling to sit first. Could it be that if what I said next makes you embarrassed, you will have to leave without a smile?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Jingzhi smiled: "Although Qi is stupid, he also knows that politeness must be something for others. If Ding Hou is not allowed to correct his words, how dare he sit down and secretly with Wen County? After all, my attack is a name in Linzhou, and I can't fight with Liaozhou and Ding Hou."
"Who said it has nothing to do with you?"
Ding Chengyuan's smile suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he shook his head and said, "Now, you are the only one left in the Daqi Demon-Suppressing Academy in this Jiuzhen County. I won't be here to testify. How can we make it clear when we meet the scenery in the future?"
As soon as he said this, not only Qi Jingzhi was quite surprised, but the rest of the people were also shocked.
"How could this be?"
County Magistrate Han Songde immediately couldn't sit still anymore and asked in shock: "Didn't it mean that he had already sent a message to the Ji Duwei back to the city quickly? Such a big thing happened in the county city. Why hasn't Ji Duwei come back now? The people who were originally in charge of the city are no longer there?"
Ding Chengyuan's expression had already turned into gloomy, and he nodded slightly to Zang Hailiang, the governor of the county army.
Zang Hailiang also had a dark face and said in a deep voice: "In the evening, a fight occurred ten miles outside the east gate, and the momentum was extremely fierce. When a team of soldiers stationed at the east gate arrived, the Ji Duwei had already left a living person, along with the anti-sergeant doctor who followed him, the foreign soldiers, and the Gongcao who went out of the city to pick him up, they had never left a living!"
Hearing this, the county magistrate Han Songde couldn't help but slapped the armrest of the seat, and his face was shocked and angry: "Who is so crazy that he dares to attack the demon-suppressing captain of a county?"
"It's not just the Demon-Suppressing Captain... In fact, after Tiangou broke the east gate of the county city last night, the county city god never moved!"
Unexpectedly, Ding Chengyuan shook his head and said something amazing again: "In order to avoid suspicion, I sat at home all night. This morning, I used an excuse to call the left-behind Gongcao to inquire about the situation in the city. Then I finally concluded that something happened in the underworld. I went to the underworld God Mansion and found that the door of the mansion was closed. I called the door of the door for a long time, but no Yin God agreed!"
"Without the underworld channel, I'm afraid that our emergency documents will either not be able to leave Jiuzhen County, or become the death talisman for reinforcements. In the vast wilderness, I don't know how many people with ulterior motives are grinding their teeth and sucking blood!"
"After thinking about it again, it is not a coincidence that there have been chaos in the county in recent days. If this marquis was not bad as expected, no one of the people who went on foreign affairs in the Demon-Suppressing Commander's Office could come back, so he would not have the news to spread to Jiuzhen County!"
Hearing this, the county magistrate Han Songde was shocked and angry, and he was quite eager to speak but stopped.
He looked at An Fenghou hesitating for a while, but finally didn't say what he said.
Seeing this, Ding Chengyuan smiled coldly: "I know what the governor of Han wants to say. For the sake of the current plan, either hold on to the surrounding counties and prefectures and find something wrong, and come to help a lot, or send elite cavalry or masters to break out."
"Hehe, the city is now in a panic, so the army should not move lightly. As for the masters... the highest cultivation level in the city is this marquis. It's a pity that I am just slightly better than the commander of Ji Du. If you dare to leave the city, you will die!"
Ding Chengyuan paused and suddenly looked at Qi Jingzhi again: "Qi Jishi, do you still think it's not your business? If we don't work together to overcome the current crisis, I wonder how long will you survive the Demon Sect's War, a famous county town?"
