Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 1001
[Chapter 1001 Unexpected acquaintance]
In the next two days, Sang Hong went to the Prefect’s Mansion and Prince Yan’s Mansion from time to time to show his face, expressing his concern and sympathy for his colleagues.
But what he really wanted him to do was pushed thoroughly by him.
On the third day, the large ship of the mission officially set sail to continue the planned journey.
Whenever there is free time on the way, Zuan finds Daji as his model and exercises his painting skills according to the method in “A Thousand People”.
It’s a pity that no matter what Zaun tried, he never got a single Rage point from her.
It made him even wonder if the last bit of anger was an illusion.
But the good news is that his painting skills have grown visibly.
After all, he is a cultivator now, and his control and use of power is by no means comparable to ordinary people, and his powerful spiritual power allows him to learn things with half the effort.
From the beginning, I painted Daji as a patient with Down syndrome, and now I can barely draw a seven-eighth portrait.
But every time Zuan looked at the real Daji and compared the painting, he couldn’t help but sigh that no matter how high the painting skills were, it would be difficult to depict her true beauty.
The big ship sailed north for a while, and then the mission went ashore and rode west.
Yunzhong County is located in the northwest, and there is no direct waterway.
After walking westward for a long time, I finally entered the territory of Yunzhong County.
Different from other counties, Yunzhong County is vast and sparsely populated, and its area is even several times larger than that of several counties in the south combined.
The scenery here is very different from before. First, I passed a vast Gobi desert. It was really desolate and only stones, not to mention trees, even grass was rarely seen.
Fortunately, the group of people are all elites from the DPRK, and the practitioners are in strong physique. In addition, there are guides sent by the local government to lead the way. Although the journey is hard, there is no danger.
The only little episode was that they encountered a group of horse thieves who did not open their eyes. Presumably this place was too poor, forcing them to take the risk. They came to sneak attack at night, trying to loot a batch of supplies from the team.
As a result, they did not expect that this group of officers and soldiers were different from ordinary officers and soldiers. Zuan and Sang Hong did not take any action. Gao Ying and Pei You took Yulin army to eliminate them by three and five. After all, they have been out for so long, and they finally have a place to play. These are all military exploits.
Only Sang Hong held the weapons of those horse thieves thoughtfully afterwards, because many of them were standard weapons of the official army.
He discussed it with Zaun, and finally came to the conclusion that either the horse thieves had raided a small army of officers and looted the weapons, or someone had resold the weapons outside.
If it is the latter, the problem here in Yunzhong County will be bigger.
But the two also knew that it was useless for them to worry about these things now, so they could only go to Yunzhong County to investigate slowly.
After leaving the Great Gobi, the scenery behind is not so desolate, and you can encounter some scattered small towns from time to time along the way.
Continue to the west, grasslands, valleys and the like appear in front of you. Of course, in winter, the grasslands have long been dry, and there is white snow hanging everywhere.
Most of the embassy team were from the capital, and they had never seen the scenery here, but they all found it novel and interesting.
Even Sang Hong often admires the magnificence of the scenery here. Along the way, he introduced to everyone that these places were the territory of the demon clan hundreds of years ago. In the paradise of the human race, his tone was full of pride.
Zuan didn’t know that there was still such a layer of origin, looking at the boundless vast world, he wondered if the demon clan were really willing to lose this fertile soil forever.
Gao Ying and Pei You encouraged Zu An to compose a poem from time to time. The two had tasted the sweetness in the capital before, and they thought about adding their name to the new poem, which is really famous for the ages.
Zaan refused them without hesitation. They were all big men, and they were all too familiar with them. Who would they pretend to be?
His current energy is all about improving his painting skills, taking Daji to the wild to sketch from time to time while he is camping.
I don’t know that the beauty of heaven and earth and the beauty of Daji have inspired him from time to time. He feels that his painting skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and it seems that he has almost reached the requirements of learning “One Side of a Thousand People”.
After another half a month, a group of people finally came to Yunzhong City.
All the way to see are some small towns, and the towering city walls are seen from a distance, and everyone is not used to it at first.
Looking at the scale of Yunzhongcheng, it is much larger than the previous Yicheng.
However, if you think about it, you can understand that Yunzhong County is rich in primeval stones, and it is truly a rich and rival country. At the same time, it is the political, economic, and military center of the vast northwest.
The officials of Yunzhong County had already received the news and greeted them outside the city one after another.
“Welcome to the Imperial Commissioner and his party!”
There were three people in the lead. The middle one was Zuo Su, the governor of Yunzhong County. Zu An thought about the big belly of this guy, which was very similar to some typical corrupt officials in previous lives.
However, his attention quickly turned to the mustache standing next to him. He was tall and tall, with sharp eyebrows, but the delicate mustache, nails, and eyebrows were obviously carefully groomed. , Although the whole person can be called elegant and handsome, it always gives people a greasy feeling.
Zuan paid attention to him not because he was interested in men, but because he had met this man in the valley outside Mingyue City. At that time, he only knew that it was Yu Yanluo’s younger brother-in-law, Master Jian, and now he knows his specific identity.
It turns out that he is Jian Taiding, acting governor of the Yunzhong County Governor’s Mansion!
Yunzhong County is located in the northwest, and is often harassed by monsters. Like other counties, the military is in charge of the military commander, such as Yangsheng in Yi County, but Yunzhong County is a higher-level governor’s mansion.
The governor of Yunzhong County, Jian Yanyou, is responsible for guarding the security of Yunzhong County on weekdays, and at the same time defending against the monsters intruding on the border.
After Duke Yunzhong disappeared, his younger brother, Jian Taiding, who was originally the governor of the governor’s office, temporarily assumed the post of acting governor.
Zu An thought of such a person, who came to Mingyue City quietly, and did not even alert the local officials of Mingyue City and Mingyue Duke Chu Zhongtian.
When I saw him for the first time, my cultivation base was still very low and I couldn’t see anything at all. Now I look carefully, the other party’s aura is restrained, and his eyes are full of light, which seems to be the strength of a master.
The emperor really looked down on him, and even sent him here to deal with the Jian family. Although Sang Hong was an imperial envoy, he was only eighth-rank. !
Thinking of this, Zu An had no choice but to despise Chu Zhongtian. He was also a duke. Seeing how majestic the Duke of Yunzhong is, one of his younger brothers is a grandmaster.
However, Chu Chuyan seemed to have told him back then that Chu Zhongtian was seriously injured and his realm fell, otherwise he would not have been bullied like that by the imperial court.
With Sang Hong standing in front of him, he didn’t need to socialize much, he just smiled and nodded.
However, through their mutual introduction, Zaan turned his attention to another square-faced, dignified middle-aged man. He was Pei Shao, the city lord of Yunzhong City.
The official position is nothing, the key is that his surname is Pei, and it is obvious that Pei You is the father of Pei Mianman who Pei You mentioned before.
“Da Manman, I’m finally going to see you.” Looking at Yunzhong City in the distance, Zaan’s eyes became particularly eager. Since the last time they parted, he has lost each other’s news for a long time.
The imperial envoy was greeted by many officials and entered the city. They were led by special personnel and settled in the hotel. As for the other officials, they dispersed separately. In the evening, a welcome dinner would be prepared at the county governor’s office.
Sang Hong soon summoned Zuan privately: “I just met Jian Taiding, what’s your impression of him?”
“This person is not a sharp-edged man. He is clearly a master, but he is standing at the head of the county guard. If he is not really loyal to the court and dare not go beyond the slightest, he is a person who hides a big disaster.” He recalled what he had just seen.
“Hey, that’s what I thought too.” Sang Hong’s eyes were full of worry, “I don’t know if Gold Medal 11 can handle him. I just asked Xiao Jianren, but he didn’t even know about Gold Medal 11. Have you been to Yunzhong County?”
“I think it should be there.” Zu An sneered, “By the way, can you contact the local gold medal embroidery messenger? If someone joins forces, it should be much easier.”
Sang Hongyao He shook his head: “I asked Xiao Jianren, there are no other gold medal embroidered messengers in Yunzhong County, because only vassal kingdoms can have gold medals in command. The situation here in Yunzhong County is special, and no gold medals are arranged.”
Zu Anxin thought about it . The emperor is more worried about the chaos of the royal family.
The two discussed it for a while, and Zaan took the opportunity to go out and visit Yunzhong County to get familiar with the environment.
Sang Hong nodded: “My goal is too big, we are open and dark, I am here to attract everyone’s attention, you can go and investigate the case secretly.”
Zuan looked strange, he went out today mainly to go to See Pei Mianman’s.
Because of Sang Qian, he couldn’t tell the truth, so he could only answer vaguely.
From the mansion, Zaan walked down a remote alley, and his appearance soon changed drastically.
After this way of practice, although he still can’t change his appearance to a specific person, it is not difficult to use thousands of people to change his appearance a little, so that he doesn’t need to wear the previous person- – Leather masks now.
The City Lord’s Mansion was easy to find, and Zuan became more and more excited when he saw the word Pei Mansion, which was so big at the gate.
Of course, it is impossible to go through the main entrance with his current identity. He circled around, found a weak point in defense, and quietly flew in.
With Yu Cong opening a perspective map, Ming Jingfeitai concealing the fluctuation of vitality, and teleportation skills such as Gale, although the City Lord’s Mansion is heavily guarded, it is almost a fake in front of him.
Zu An was looking for where Pei Mianman’s room was, when suddenly Pei Shao’s voice came from the corridor in the distance: “The prince has come from a long way, and I didn’t go to meet him before. It’s really neglectful.”
“Prince?” Zu An narrowed his eyes. , It seems that I met an old acquaintance.
