If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 299: The Grace of the Protector
"Taibao, help me!" Xiaoyu stopped deducing his magic skills, walked quickly to the front of the god general, and shouted: "The demon cicada wants to seek revenge on me. Apart from Taibao, I can't count on anyone else."

The Divine Mace Guard was silent for a while, then said, "You saw it too. You've been busy for most of the night, burning several pieces of paper. It was almost dawn when I finally arrived in the Xisha area.

If I really encounter a demon cicada, even if I am willing to help, how can I come immediately? "

Taibao definitely didn't tell the truth.

Even though Yumen Zhenren told him to "let nature take its course, have a clear conscience, and don't worry about the ancestors", he still couldn't make up his mind.

After all, Yumen Zhenren also clearly stated that Taibao only represents himself, and no matter what happens or what cause and effect is involved, he cannot represent the Taoist Palace, let alone implicate the Taoist Palace.

Taibao felt resentful and wanted to yell at Yumen Zhenren: Is it possible that only Taoist priests are valuable in the Taoist temple, and the spiritual officials can be sacrificed at will?

He didn't yell, not because he didn't dare to yell, but because he understood the fact that "Lingguan is just a thug in the Taoist temple."

Taoist priests are more valuable than spiritual officials!
Taibao struggled for most of the night and finally came to the Xisha area reluctantly at the urging of Xin Shutou.

But at least he did not lie to Xiaoyu: Even if he rushed here immediately after receiving the news, it would still take quite a while from the beginning of the summoning to the appearance of the spirit.

God’s descent cannot be accomplished instantly.

For example, when the Taoist boy Qingsong was ambushed in Hongxiufang, Qingsong summoned the spiritual officer at the first moment. However, he was like the policeman in the movie - arriving "just in time" until the battle was over and the heavenly calamity was blocked by the List of Gods.

On that day, Taibao just wanted to arrive faster and rescue Qingsong, and he definitely did not delay on purpose.

But the Central Plains is too far away from the Xisha region, and it is still too late to take the higher-dimensional divine path.

"Thank you for protecting me, Taibao." Xiaoyu bowed to the divine mace Taibao and said, "Taibao, do you have a talisman or token? I don't need to burn a shaving and pray. I can just use the talisman or token to notify Taibao?

I should be able to hold on for a while before the guards arrive."

"Don't try to take advantage of others. I'm just telling you the truth. It took me a long time to get here, and I can't promise to protect you." Taibao said with a disgusted look on his face.

Xiao Yu smiled and changed the subject, asking, "Taibao, the mastermind behind the Thirty-Six Kingdoms Rebellion has been revealed. What does the Qin court say? What is the attitude of the Emperor?"

The Divine Mace Guard was stunned for a moment and said, "The new emperor has not yet been chosen, and Queen Mother Zhao is still in power.

I haven't paid much attention to the affairs of the court recently. Maybe the officials in the court don't care much."

Xiao Yu's smile faded, and he said, "The officials in the court don't care about this kind of important matter, so what are they concerned about?"

"I'm concerned about the male favorites kept by Queen Dowager Zhao." Shenjian Taibao blurted out.

Xiaoyu was stunned.

The dog meat Taoist priest not far away was dumbfounded.

As soon as he said this, Taibao regretted it and said quickly: "The turmoil of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms is over. It doesn't really matter who is behind it."

Xiao Yu said calmly: "If the officials in the court of the Great Qin really think so, then the Great Qin is not far from destruction."

The dog meat Taoist changed color again.

The Divine Mace Master was also shocked and angry for a moment, but the shock and anger soon turned into helplessness.

"After the death of the Emperor, the focus of the court officials changed, and the affairs of the Xisha region became unimportant."

Xiao Yu said: "When the Taibao discovered a demon cicada, it means that there are already countless 'demon cicadas' hiding around the Qin Dynasty. I don't believe that the officials of the Qin Dynasty don't even have this much knowledge."

The divine mace protector was a little surprised, but he looked at her with some admiration, "If you were born in the Qin Dynasty, you might become the second 'Gan Luo Shangqing'."

Xiao Yu asked, "Is it Gan Luo who became prime minister at the age of twelve? How is he now?"

"He died a long time ago." Taibao said.

Xiaoyu asked again: "How did he die?"

"Just like you, young and energetic, showing off his talent, but too much wisdom will lead to injuries." Taibao said.

Xiao Yu's pretty face darkened, and she said, "I am also twelve years old this year. If I die young, it must be because I was betrayed by Da Qin and Taibao."

The divine mace Taibao pondered and said, "Aren't you the Great Qin Shangzao? You can write a report on the matter of the demon cicada, and I will submit it to the Taiwei Mansion for you."

"Who is the general? Will he send a god to protect me?" Xiao Yu asked.

The Grand Guardian shook his head and said, "I have only submitted the report to the Grand Commandant's Mansion. I cannot guarantee whether the Grand Commandant will see it.

Even if Lord Guowei sees your report, I am not sure what instructions he will give and when the instructions will be conveyed to Xishu.

I can only be sure that if you are retaliated by the demon cicada and beaten to death, well, they probably won't beat you to death, because the demon cicada even sucked my divine blood.

You are so tender, it will probably just stuff you into its mouth and chew you up."

Xiaoyu's face became even darker.

The guardian continued, "If you are killed by the demon cicada in the future, the court will definitely give you an explanation because of this report today."

"What explanation?" Xiaoyu asked.

"I will bless your descendants and family members, and grant them official titles, land, houses, gold and silver.

You may also be conferred as a yin god such as a mountain god or a land god.

The demon cicada is wanted, and if it dares to enter the territory of Daqin, it will be hunted down by the demon killer of Daqin. "The Taibao said.

"Do you think I need these things?" Xiaoyu asked with a wooden face.

The Grand Protector said: "Does it matter to the officials in the court whether you need it or not? This is the system and the law!
The law is not a special case for one person. Everyone has different needs, but the law must be suitable for more people. "

Xiao Yu said, "I don't want any reward from the commander, I just want the imperial court to order me to accompany Lord Dongfang Shuo immediately. By the way, what realm is Lord Dongfang Shuo in? I heard people say he is a celestial being."

Taibao shook his head and said, "Don't dream. Master Dongfang Shuo had already formed a golden elixir of immortality by combining the dragon and the tiger hundreds of years ago.

I have no idea what realm I am in now.

But I can tell you that he has received an invitation from the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and in a few days or a few years he will go to Yao Chi to attend the Peach Banquet.

You are the god of plague, you are stinking dog shit. Once he gets stained with you, he will become stinking. How can he attend the Peach Banquet?"

Xiao Yu said unhappily: "I knew from the beginning that he didn't like me, so I asked the court to issue an edict. He dares to disobey the decree of the Human Emperor?" "Don't say that the Human Emperor is dead. There is no Human Emperor in the court now. Even if the Human Emperor was still there, Dongfang Shuo would not be a soft persimmon that can be bullied by anyone. There are no soft persimmons among the immortals." Taibao said.

Xiao Yu was surprised and asked, "He is the imperial envoy chosen by the Emperor. Isn't he the Emperor's most trusted and beloved minister?"

Taibao said: "Would a trusted and beloved minister stay away from the court and serve as the 'Protector General' in the Liusha Region for hundreds of years?
Dongfang Shuo was a mad Confucian scholar. In the past, he and a group of Confucian scholars caused many troubles in the Qin Dynasty, and several generations of emperors hated him.

However, Your Majesty is good at governing people and does not select ministers based on his own likes and dislikes.

The Emperor had great confidence in Dongfang Shuo's ability and integrity.

Although the Protector General of Liusha Territory is far away from the imperial court, his title is second only to the Three Dukes, and he is considered an important official of the imperial court."

"Is the imperial edict of the court of any use to Dongfang Shuo?" Xiao Yu asked.

Taibao said: "Of course it will be useful, but before the court issues an order, it will consider and listen to Lord Dongfang's own thoughts. It is absolutely impossible to force a celestial being for you."

If the imperial court had only resorted to coercion and oppression, all the wise men in the Qin military and political system would have run away long ago.

"There's no need to force him. It's a suggestion. The court issued an edict to him, stating that Yu Fengxian has made outstanding contributions and should be protected." Xiao Yu said.

Taibao sighed and said, "After all, you are just a barbarian from a foreign country, and you have never seen a big scene.

You feel that you have offended the Eight Immortals of the West and provoked the demon cicada who is suspected to be a Buddhist, which is a big deal.

Little do you know that to the powerful generals of the Qin Dynasty, the troubles you encounter are nothing but a drizzle.

For example, General Bai Qi suppressed the monk king and Buddhist army who were rebellious against the Qin Dynasty in the West Sea Kingdom.

Some Buddhas from the West tried to step forward, but they were all hacked to death by General Bai.

Afterwards, General Bai reported to the Emperor, asking him to send troops to Lingshan to bring the Buddha to justice.

The Human Emperor did not specially arrange for immortals to protect General Bai from being assassinated.

General Bai has never been as anxious and shouting as you are."

"Send troops to Lingshan to bring the Buddha to justice" Xiao Yu was stunned and asked, "Where is General Bai Qi now? I want to go to him."

"General Bai died ten years ago. He was sentenced to death by the Emperor. Sigh~~~"

"General Bai is just a special case. I definitely can't compare with him." Xiaoyu said.

Taibao said: "I use General Bai Qi as an example just to tell you not to be too squeamish. All the generals of the Qin Dynasty went through this.

The court will certainly make arrangements, but it is absolutely impossible to send a deity to protect you."

Xiao Yu asked: "How will the Qin court arrange for me?"

The Taibao hesitated and said, "Your situation is a bit special. The generals of the Qin Dynasty fought wars all over the country, and they must have offended more people and forces than you.

But the generals who were able to make a name for themselves all had their own heritage and friends and relatives who helped each other.

Even if you offend the immortals, you can ask the immortals of Daqin to come down the mountain to help.

Secondly, since he is a general, he must be surrounded by troops, and the general himself must be good at military formations.

You are a lonely person, without anyone to rely on. People with shallow roots like you would have died in the years of war and would never have had the chance to offend the gods and Buddhas."

He looked at her strangely and said, "Although the Qin Dynasty has a sound system of military merit and nobility, in the past tens of thousands of years, no one has been granted the title of nobility out of pure civilian status."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I am not helpless. When I see Taibao, I feel like I see my elder brother. I still remember how good Taiyi Dao was to me. Deep down in my heart, I always consider myself a disciple of Xuanmen."

Taibao said with a wooden face: "To tell you the truth, I just responded to your call the day before yesterday, and then I was called over and scolded by Zhang Tianshi.

Coming again this time is against the instructions of the ancestors.

I can only represent myself, not the Dao Palace."

Xiao Yu bowed solemnly to Taibao, "Taibao's kindness, Xiao Yu will never forget it."

Taibao's lips moved a few times, and he really wanted to say: I don't want to do you a favor, and I don't care whether you forget it or not.

He sighed with mixed feelings and took out a red paper-cut from his arms. It was the size of a palm and looked like a general.

"This is a commonly used talisman. If you carry it with you, it will automatically activate when you encounter danger.

Once the talisman is activated, whether actively or passively, someone will feel it.

Without your calling, someone will come to save you."

Xiao Yu took the talisman and bowed again, "My parents gave me life, and my protector saved my life."

Taibao waved his hand and said, "If you are really grateful, don't put on such a high hat for me.

If I fail to save you, I won't have to bear too much psychological burden."

Xiaoyu's pretty face twitched slightly, "Taibao, you are too honest."

"Just let it be and do it with a clear conscience. I don't ask for your gratitude, but don't add extra responsibilities to someone that you shouldn't have." Taibao said.

Xiao Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Don't feel too much psychological pressure, Taibao. You have done your best to give me the talisman and respond in time. If I ask for more, it would be me who doesn't know what is good for me."

The guard looked at her deeply and said, "Do you want to write a report?"

"of course."

There was paper and pen for writing on the table next to him. Xiaoyu picked up the pen and wrote more than three hundred words.

Not only did it emphasize that she had found the mastermind behind the Thirty-Six Kingdoms Rebellion, it also stated the threat posed by the Eight Kings Palace to Tianmen Town, as well as her significant contribution to the suppression of ghosts in Guaizi Mountain.

In the end, she made a clear request: she wanted to follow Dongfang Shuo to the west to eliminate the evil spirits, or be arranged to be with other powerful military marquises, even Marquis Lieyang.

Of course, she certainly wouldn’t just write “even Marquis Lieyang is fine.”

She just said that she and Marquis Lieyang were old friends and she particularly liked the friendly atmosphere in the Fire Crow Army. It would be a good thing if she could renew her old relationship with the Marquis.
