Chapter 152 Question (Please subscribe, please collect, please vote for the monthly ticket and recommend the ticket)
"So you are the disciple of Shennong Baicao Sect. You all came too late. The danger of the fifth-level monster tide has been resolved."

Luo Yuxuan said with a smile.

"Resolved?"

The leader showed a look of surprise on his face, "Could it be that your intelligence is wrong? Isn't this monster tide level five?"

"That's right, it is indeed level five."

Luo Yuxuan said, "Three third-level monsters..."

"and many more."

The leader interrupted Luo Yuxuan and said, "Zhao Po Nu, the pacification officer of the Wuling City Taiping Division, is only at the peak of the Transcendence Realm. Even he is no match for a third-level monster.

What's more, he is not here. How did you deal with the level 5 monster tide?

City Lord Luo, you are not lying about military intelligence or fabricating facts, are you? "

Several true disciples of Shennong Herb Sect all stared at Luo Yuxuan with suspicion.

A level five monster tide and three level three monsters were simply not something Wuling City could handle.

Not to mention Wuling City, even they had no assurance of victory against three third-level monsters.

"Lord Luo, where is the body of the third-level monster?"

A true disciple of Shennong Baicao Sect asked.

The reason why they agreed to the governor's request and came to Wuling City to deal with the monster tide was, firstly, because the governor gave them enough, and secondly, they came for the monster's corpses.

Many parts of the monster's body are excellent materials for making elixirs.

"this--"

Luo Yuxuan's expression was a little stiff. "Their bodies were all burned, and no bones were left."

When he said this, Luo Yuxuan had a bad feeling in his heart.

Three third-level monsters were killed, but their bodies were not left behind. How can this prove that Wuling City really killed three third-level monsters?
Did everyone in Wuling City see it?
This is hard to believe. Wuling City may have colluded with others and told lies.

Luo Yuxuan had been immersed in joy and had forgotten about this question.

Now, when he was questioned by several true disciples of Shennong Herbal Sect, this old fox in officialdom reacted immediately.

"You mean, there's not a single corpse left of the three level three monsters? City Lord Luo, are you kidding us?"

The leader frowned and said, "We came all the way from the state capital, not just to listen to you telling us jokes."

"You guys came to help, Luo is grateful."

Luo Yuxuan said in a deep voice, "But this is the fact, and I don't need to explain anything to you.

You have come from afar and have worked hard along the way. You can rest for a few days in Wuling City. Luo will certainly not let you go back disappointed."

The Shennong Herb Sect is a large sect, and its true disciples enjoy a high status, but Luo Yuxuan is not an ordinary person either. He is the mayor of Wuling City and a fourth-rank official of the Daxuan Dynasty. He does not need to be humble to the disciples of the Shennong Herb Sect.

Luo Yuxuan acted like a city lord, and the faces of those true disciples of Shennong Baicao Sect instantly turned very ugly.

The leader narrowed his eyes slightly.

To be honest, they were guests from afar, and although they came for rescue, the crisis had been resolved and they didn't contribute much. Besides, Luo Yuxuan had made it very clear that he would show some appreciation to them.

This result can be said to be a win-win for everyone.

But they came from afar, not just for the small benefit that Wuling City gave them.

"City Lord Luo is right. Whether it is a level 5 monster tide or not, whether Wuling City really killed a level 3 monster or not, City Lord Luo really does not need to explain to us."

The leader said slowly, "Now that the crisis in Wuling City has been resolved, we can just settle our personal affairs."

"Private matter?"

Luo Yuxuan said, "If there is anything you need Wuling City's assistance in, please feel free to ask."

"There's no need for you, City Lord Luo, to do anything."

The leader said, "It's just our business, which has something to do with the Wuling Taiping Division. Since the pacification envoy Zhao Po Nu is not here, I wonder who is the head of the Wuling Taiping Division now?"

"The commander of the Wuling Taiping Division is Taiping Captain Wan Qing. If you have any questions, you can consult Captain Wan."

Luo Yuxuan didn't think much about it and spoke directly.

In the Daxuan Dynasty, local governments rarely dealt with large sects such as the Shennong Herb Sect, and it was usually the Taiping Division that came forward.

The Taiping Division is responsible for the military force of Daxuan, and intimidating the martial arts sects is originally one of their responsibilities.

Luo Yuxuan also knew that the Taiping Division and the Shennong Baicao Sect were working together to refine the Zhuangxue Pill, so it was normal for these Shennong Baicao Sect's true disciples to look for the Taiping Division.

"In that case, we'll take our leave."

Several true disciples of Shennong Herb Sect also stood up and walked out.

After the true disciple of Shennong Baicao Sect left, the smile on Luo Yuxuan's face disappeared, and he showed a thoughtful look.

He still had to think carefully about how to report the credit for resisting the fifth-level monster tide and how to prove that the three third-level monsters were left with no corpses.

It is not easy to be an official. Sometimes, you not only have to do things well, but also have to learn how to tell things well.

Resisting the fifth-level demon tide is a great achievement, but if it is not handled well, the credit may not necessarily fall on Wuling City.

…………

Wuling City, Taipingsi.

Wan Qing sat on the chair, looking at the true disciples of Shennong Herbal Sect opposite him.

His drooping eyelids suddenly lifted up, and his cloudy eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Are you questioning the Taiping Division?"

Wan Qing said coldly, "Shennong Herbal Sect, what a great name!

It's a pity that you are not qualified to run wild in the Taiping Division!"

"you!"

One of the disciples of Shennong Herbalism had a bad temper. He jumped up and pointed at Wan Qing and became angry.

They are the true disciples of Shennong's Herbal Sect, and everyone who interacts with them is a big shot.

You know, the elixirs from their Shennong Herb Sect are things that others are dying to get.

Even the Taiping Division's pacification envoy was always polite to them.

Before he could even curse, he was stopped by his senior brother.

"Captain Wan, your words are somewhat hurtful to the relationship between our two families."

The leader of the Shennong Baicao Sect said in a deep voice, "Although our Shennong Baicao Sect is a martial arts sect, we have always been loyal to the imperial court. Even among the royal relatives, there are many practitioners in our Shennong Baicao Sect.

Besides, our Shennong Herbal Sect has always been on good terms with the Taiping Division.

Not long ago, we reached an agreement to cooperate in refining the Zhuangxue Pill. I think you, Captain Wan, are well aware of this."

Wan Qing snorted coldly and said nothing.

The Shennong Herbal Sect was indeed very close to the imperial court, and many of its disciples became officials.

As for the matter of refining the blood-strengthening pill, Wan Qing naturally knew about it.

He has been paying attention to this matter because he wants to get one for Su Mu after the Blood Strengthening Pill is refined.

Originally, he planned to help Su Mu get the Nine Blood Transformation Method and the Blood Strengthening Pill at the same time, so that he could create a strong man with ten times the blood transformation ability for the Wuling Taiping Division.

Anyway, he is old and has no children, so he can't take his achievements with him.

As a result, something unexpected happened. The Nine Blood Transformation Method was no longer needed, but the Blood Strengthening Pill was still needed. For the Blood Strengthening Pill, we couldn't make things too awkward with the Shennong Herb Sect.

"Our Junior Brother Feng came to Wuling City to look for medicine, and your Wuling Taiping Division assisted him. Now that he is dead, is it not too much for us to ask a question?"

Dai Jin said in a deep voice.

He is the third senior brother of the Shennong Herb Sect's true successor of this generation. His cultivation has broken through the Rebirth Realm and reached the True Essence Realm.

In terms of cultivation alone, he is stronger than the pacification envoy of Wuling Taiping Division.

"Captain Wan, regardless of whether your Wuling Taiping Division is not providing adequate protection, I cannot allow Junior Brother Feng to leave his body in the wilderness. We just want to retrieve his body. Captain Wan, please consider our brotherhood and do not embarrass Dai."

Dai Jin said.

"I have already reported this matter in detail to the Wuling Taiping Division and informed the Shennong Baicao Sect."

Wan Qing was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

Although Feng Zhengqian's death was caused by his own fault, the Wuling Taiping Division is also responsible.

“When your clan’s envoy Feng came to Wuling, we arranged two of our best Taiping commanders to assist him, and summoned seven or eight Taiping commanders to wait outside the city.

It was just that Envoy Feng did not go to the supply point to join the other Taiping commanders, and an accident occurred as a result. "

Wan Qing explained, "The reason for the accident is that Envoy Feng brought people from the Wuling He family, and the Wuling He family is the remnant of the Xuanming Sect. They raised corpse goblins outside the Daxing Mountain and were discovered by Envoy Feng.

After Envoy Feng was killed, our Wuling Taiping Division has uprooted the Wuling He family.

To be honest, the monster wave that hit Wuling City this time may be caused by someone from the He family who slipped through the net."

"You mean, Junior Brother Feng died because he brought people from the He family with him?

Is it his own fault? "

A true disciple of Shennong Herbal Sect said angrily.

"I didn't say that. Of course, you can understand it that way."

Wan Qing sneered, "According to my understanding, He Guangshao had already become a disciple of your Shennong Herbal Sect at that time, and it was Envoy Feng who accepted him into the sect.

If Envoy Feng had not been killed by He Guangshao, I would have suspected your relationship with the Xuanming Sect. "

"you--"

The true disciple of Shennong Herbal Sect was furious.

"Captain Wan has saved a good set of teeth."

Dai Jin said coldly, "I am really ashamed of myself for your ability to confuse right and wrong.

If the Taiping Division suspects our Shennong Baicao Sect, they can just send someone to investigate. But Captain Wan, if you want to slander the innocence of our Shennong Baicao Sect at will, that is not that easy.

I, the Shennong Herb Sect, am not without people in the court.

I would like to ask Captain Wan, since Wuling Taiping Division has Taiping Duwei and my Junior Brother Feng together, and my Junior Brother Feng died, what about the other two Taiping Duwei? Did they, like my Junior Brother Feng, have no remains left?"

“I told you that Envoy Feng was killed by He Guangshao’s ambush. The two Taiping Commanders tried their best to rescue him, but they were unsuccessful due to the large number of corpse demons. They also escaped at the cost of their lives.

Afterwards, they also led people to eliminate all the corpse demons raised by the He family, which can be regarded as revenge for Envoy Feng. "

Wan Qing said.

"So, my Junior Brother Feng and other disciples of the Shennong Baicao Sect died, but the Taiping Duwei of your Wuling Taiping Division survived?"

Dai Jin sneered, "Except for your two Taiping captains, all the others on that day are dead. Even the He family was wiped out. There is no evidence. Captain Wan, do you think I should believe you or not?"

"What do you mean? Do you suspect I've lied to you?"

Wan Qing's face darkened and he said coldly.

"Captain Wan, you may not have lied to us, but I'm worried that you've been deceived."

Dai Jin said bluntly.

"If you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to be sarcastic."

Wan Qing said coldly, "Wan is not senile yet."

"Captain Wan, call out the two Taiping captains from that day. I have a few words to ask them."

Dai Jin said, "I am very surprised. My Junior Brother Feng is a nine-fold blood exchange warrior, and he died. How could those two Taiping Commanders, who are stronger than my Junior Brother Feng, survive unharmed?"

"The Taiping Duwei of my Taiping Division is not like the true disciples of your Shennong Baicao Sect who live a life of luxury. They have been slaying demons and monsters in the mountains all year round. When faced with danger, they are naturally more adaptable."

Wan Qing said, "I have made things clear. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. You can leave now.

If you want to investigate the Taiping Duwei of my Taiping Division, that's fine. As long as the court gives the order, I will naturally cooperate.

Otherwise, you country folk are not qualified to ask the Taiping Duwei of the Taiping Division!"

"see a visitor out!"

Wan Qing slammed the table and shouted.

"I knew you would say that, Captain Wan."

Dai Jin laughed loudly, "Even if you don't tell me, I know who those two Taiping commanders were that day.

One is named Luo Anning, the daughter of Luo Yuxuan, the lord of Wuling City, and the other is Su Mu. Although I don’t know his origins, I heard that the reason Wuling City was able to withstand the fifth-level monster tide this time was because he used the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow to shoot and kill three third-level monsters.

As far as I know, the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow was the sect's most powerful weapon back then, and it cannot be used without a nine-fold blood transfusion.

How could an ordinary Taiping commander have the ability to exchange blood nine times?
He was responsible for protecting my junior brother Feng. My junior brother Feng died, but he survived. My junior brother Feng practiced the Nine-fold Blood Exchange Method, and your Captain Su also practiced the Nine-fold Blood Exchange Method.

Captain Wan, isn't this a coincidence?"

"see a visitor out!"

Wan Qing did not answer, but shouted again.

"Not in a hurry."

Dai Jin sneered, "Captain Wan, take a look at this first!"

Snapped!
Dai Jin slammed a token on the table.

Wan Qing looked over subconsciously.

"I'm sorry, Dai is not the country villager that Captain Wan mentioned, but the new Inspector of the Great Xuan Inspectorate!"

Dai Jin said, "The Supervisory Department patrols the country on behalf of the Heavenly Emperor and supervises all officials. The Taiping Department is not a place outside the law."

"Ridiculous, where did Daxuan get the Supervisory Department?"

Wan Qing frowned and shouted.

“It certainly didn’t exist before, but it exists now.”

Dai Jin said, "Wuling City is remote, so we haven't received any news yet, but the identity of this Supervisor is genuine. With your eyesight, Captain Wan, you should be able to see that this gold medal is not fake."

Wan Qing looked at the gold medal with a gloomy face. There was indeed a special mark of the imperial court on it. It was of the same origin as the waist badge of the Taiping Division and was difficult to forge.

Moreover, it is impossible for Dai Jin to fake such a thing.

"The net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. You, Wuling Taiping Division, cannot conceal the murder of the true disciple of our Shennong Baicao Sect and the attempt to steal the Baicao Blood Transfusion Method."

Dai Jin said coldly, "Go, bring the suspects Su Mu and Luo An Ning to the court!"

He swung his clothes and unceremoniously took the seat that originally belonged to the pacification envoy Zhao Po Nu.

The true disciples of Shennong Herbal Sect responded loudly and rushed out of the hall with a sinister grin.
