Chapter 37 The King of Chu

Jinan Prefecture.

The two of them and one fox stopped by the long pavilion ten miles away from Jinan Prefecture. It was early winter morning and the sky had just brightened, so I was not afraid of passers-by being surprised when I saw it.

Dan Tai Mingyue said: "There is Jinan Prefecture ahead. Although the dragon energy of the imperial court is restricted, it should not be underestimated. At least if the governor of Shandong is covered by the dragon energy, the true king of the Yuanshen will be afraid of it."

This was a tactful warning to Xu Xing not to be as good as in Qingyang, and to be in an instant, confronting the government.

Xu Xing frowned, his mind was somewhat complicated.

The dragon energy suppresses the Taoist Dharma, and instinctive disgust arises in my heart. When practicing Taoism, I seek great power to return to myself, live forever and immortality, and do whatever I want, how can I still be restrained?

However, after thinking deeply, I also felt that if humanity was really a random kneading, what would happen to the world?

Like pigs and dogs keep their destiny in a captive manner, and let them be slaughtered by the immortal way? Or is it like a dragon, and locusts cultivate immortality?

The endless void, the sky and the world, is not without the kind of world where immortality completely suppresses humanity. The immortality regards humanity as its back garden and wants to give it desires.

However, in this world, the productivity level is often low, the population is gradually sparse, and there is no huge base population nourishment. The world's development is abnormal and its vitality gradually witheres.

As for dragon energy, it is actually just a vague statement. In this world, dragon energy is actually the product of the will of sentient beings, the will of heaven, and the spiritual energy of the earth veins.

Many people hate natural luck and believe that there is a stale pessimistic and fatalism argument. However, the class has been solidified in later generations, and the happiness education of the common people is completely different from the elite education. What they learn and think are artificially defined, and the vision and experience are trapped in a corner. The end of struggle for a lifetime is the starting point of others... Isn't this the destiny of luck? Or some survivors have deviated, but can they change their fate and fortune based on personal struggle and their own talents?

But how could he be more skillful? Or to put it another way, maybe it sounds better?

Xu Xing shook his head, and he didn't think about it for a moment.

Qingfeng said in a sweet voice: "Young Master, let's go into the mansion while it's still early."

Xu Xing nodded, and the three of them were about to continue their journey.

Suddenly, bursts of gongs rang out from afar, and a long queue suddenly appeared in the direction of the official road of Jinan Prefecture City, coming in a vast and winding manner.

Two tall and strong flag officials held a vermilion flag with black characters in regular script written on it, followed by two teams of halberd soldiers in armor. Not far away, there were even horses exploring to release them into the four fields. A young general wearing armor and holding a horse whip in his hand, patrolling around with a sharp gaze like an eagle and falcon, and from time to time, he ordered his subordinates to send troops to guard the road.

A green silk-mounted sedan chair with eight-carrying carriage came smoothly towards the Shili Pavilion under the guard of all the officials.

"What's going on? Aren't people sent to martial law around Shili Pavilion? Why are there still idle people waiting in front of you?" In the official sedan chair, a middle-aged official wearing a scarf robe and a black hat, opened a corner of the sedan curtain and said without anger.

This person is Shandong Governor Dong Ne, who served as a bachelor of the Jinling Hanlin Academy, as well as the Minister of War, and was transferred to Shandong Governor two years ago.

Pei Tong, the commander of Shandong, who was riding a horse next to the sedan chair, was a veteran in his fifties, wearing a gray-white beard, wearing a mountain armor and a dark red cloak. Hearing this, he clasped his fists and said, "You have reported to Futai, these are arranged by the prefect of Jinan, and the officials are not sure why."

The world has been peaceful for a long time and its literary style has gradually become prosperous. Although the commander of Shandong is a second-rank and is in the same rank as Dong Ne, Pei Tong is very respectful at this moment, just as the subordinates are facing their superiors.

Dong Ne waved his hand, snorted coldly in dissatisfaction, and finally said in a deep voice: "Let your people drive away quickly."

Pei Tong bowed back, with a cold face, and sent soldiers to drive Xu Xing and his group away.

At this moment, among the team of officials in Shandong, an elderly servant also saw a scene in the Shili Pavilion from afar. He hurriedly ran to a sedan chair and bowed to report.

Yin Chong listened to the words of the servants outside, leaning against his concubine, he was dozing off, suddenly opened his drooping eyelids and said in a lost voice: "Have you ever seen it carefully? That person was the murderer who killed Wen'er?"

The old servant said in a trepidated manner: "I dare not deceive the master."

Yin Chong's eyes showed sadness and said, "God has eyes, Wen'er, I will definitely avenge you for my father."

A fierce look flashed on his face and he ordered, "You have someone to follow him quietly and see where the murderer is going."

Since the last time the six gates of the Ministry of Justice returned in Qingyang, he was very secretive about what happened to the Xu family that day. Yin Chong asked someone to inquire and found out that the Xu family was actually involved in the work.

He once served as an official in the court and knew some Taoist taboos that did not add noble people. Even if the Jindan Zhenren killed his son's life, he would ask for an explanation.

Over there, Xu Xing saw two knights coming from afar, with a bad expression, and then said to Dan Tai Mingyue: "This man has a great power, so we should leave here from the small path."

This is not going to have a conflict with the people in the government.

As he said that, the two of them, one of the foxes, walked slowly towards the path beside him.

When two horsemen arrived near, Xu Xing and Dan Tai Mingyue were already five miles away.

"Strange, I'm still close just now, but now I'm far away. Why do I feel like I'm running to death on the mountain?" A knight looked at Xu Xing and turned into a small dot in the distance, and said in confusion.

"Okay, since we have gone far, we have been in the process of getting in touch with the adults." Another knight said in a deep voice.

The two went back to report immediately.

Pei Tong said in a deep voice: "Since you are gone, you don't need to pay attention. You should be wary of the King of Chu. You should inspect carefully and not neglect it."

Just about an hour after Xu Xing left, at noon, under the anticipation of Shandong military, civilians, officials and gentry, the King of Chu finally arrived outside the Shili Pavilion under the escort of the guards.

The Shandong Governor's Office, Fantai Yamen, Nietai Yamen, and Jinan Prefecture all breathed a sigh of relief.

In the distance, a huge carriage pulled by six horses with red fur and strong body was slowly advancing under the urging of ladies with round fans and lieutenants in the imperial robe.

The carriage is exquisitely decorated, with a high shaft, with dragon and phoenix cloud patterns engraved on it, and a thin yellow brocade gauze silently exuding a royal demeanor.

Among the Jinan Prefecture officials, an old Confucian scholar with white beard and strong spiritual cheeks rubbed his faint eyes, and he felt a little surprised and muttered: "The emperor is six, the prince is five, and the king of Chu is... arrogance?"

A middle-aged Confucian scholar wearing a sixth-rank official robe, knowledgeable and knew some inside information, and lowered his voice to explain: "You have no idea whether this is a carriage on the eldest princess's mansion or the official family is widowed in the house, so he gave the carriage on the patrol when he was hidden in his early years. The King of Chu must have borrowed it from the eldest princess's mansion."

The old ruler murmured: "So that's how it is."

Since Prince Ning Yuan was banned, Shilin instinctively disliked the King of Chu, who had always been fond of martial arts. Instead, he had a natural favor for King Qi, who loved poetry and had a weak temperament. As for King Xin's biological mother's status, the King of Liang... his brother and brother were obsessed with that, except that Empress Dowager Fu was obsessed with, he was not recognized by scholars all over the world at that time.
