Chapter 95: Enter the County City and Meet the County Magistrate! (6k)

For four consecutive days, Zheng Jun absorbed Ninggang Powder in his mansion.

Four days of Ning Gang San allowed Zheng Jun to improve rapidly.

After swallowing the Ninggang Powder, he repaired the hidden injuries on his body and calmed his mind. He let the Ninggang Powder assist him and slowly let the power of the medicine blend his true Qi and Gang Qi, and began to compress and blend them, refining the true Qi into Gang.

It was not until dawn that Zheng Jun finished absorbing and exhaled from his Dantian.

[Take Ning Gang Powder, practice to become a Gang. The repayment progress of Sui Yu Gong is +229, and the current repayment progress is: 2360/5000. ]

Small ink characters appeared in front of him. Zheng Jun took a deep breath, opened his eyes, put on his sword and stood up.

"I still have half of the repayment progress to go, but based on my drug-taking progress, I will be able to complete the process of 'refining the Gang' and enter the outer Gang realm in about ten sets."

Zheng Jun pondered in his heart, stood up, stretched his stiff body after a night of practice, and walked out the door.

After going out, Zheng Jun went to the dining room as usual, and Qingdai very appropriately brought him a serving of 'mixed medicine pancake' mixed with spiritual herbs.

Zheng Jun also ate the pancake cleanly as usual, and felt a trace of medicinal power in his meridians being purified in his blood.

Before he finished eating, Zheng Jun saw the maid Banxia come in and said to him, "Sir, the Magistrate of Cai County wants to see you."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Zheng Jun was stunned.

The county lieutenant holds a higher official position than himself.

But now it does feel absurd to say that the county lieutenant wanted to see him.

Although it felt very weird, Zheng Jun still stood up and walked towards the door, saying as he walked: "Let my dearest brother in!"

As he spoke, he even forgot to put on his boots and went out to greet him barefoot.

Zheng Jun greets Cai Xun barefoot!
In fact, Zheng Jun forgot about it when he stood up, but he remembered it when he took the first step.

But Zheng Jun just stopped wearing it.

Let Cai Xun feel what it means to welcome someone with sincerity!

Just like this, Zheng Jun arrived outside the Zheng Mansion.

Cai Xun was seen standing on the stone steps, looking listless, but with an excited expression. If Zheng Jun didn't know Cai Xun well, he would have thought that Cai Xun had taken something like "Wu Shi San".

When he saw Zheng Jun coming out, he immediately took the initiative to greet him and said excitedly: "It's approved! The county magistrate is so confused, he actually approved it!"

"What's confirmed?"

Hearing this, Zheng Jun was stunned and didn't understand what Cai Xun said.

Seeing Zheng Jun's expression, Cai Xun immediately grasped Zheng Jun's arms excitedly and said, "The county's official document has come down! We need to unite the Black Mountain Guard, Zhiyuan Guard, Pingyun Guard and Rongyuan Guard to form a 'Black Mountain Fortress'. At the same time, we need to recruit new soldiers from the two cities to form a team with a total of 1,800 people!"

"You, Zheng Jun, it's clearly written above that you are the acting captain! The county governor wants you to come to the county city within ten days to be taught all matters in person!"

Cai Xun laughed loudly, extremely excited: "At the same time, you can bring back the silver and learn those two top-grade martial arts!"

Seeing Cai Xun so excited, Zheng Jun didn't know what to say.

I got a promotion, why are you so happy, buddy?

Could you please notice that I'm coming to greet you barefoot?
But being promoted to team leader is indeed a good thing.

The soldiers from the other three counties each had their own difficulties.

The interests are intertwined and complicated.

There are definitely many people who are drawing salaries without doing anything, and there is collusion between them and the county officials.

Therefore, there is nothing to say about the county soldiers from the other three counties.

The key point is the two that you recruited yourself.

A full portion for six hundred people!

Together with the Black Mountain Guards he currently has, there are a total of nine hundred people.

In this way, they will definitely be stronger than the county soldiers of the remaining three counties.

Moreover, he could also use the excuse of the 'Black Mountain Fortress' to intervene in the other three counties!

Thinking of this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and made some plans in his mind.

Besides, the 1,800 people in the open don't matter, I can also develop some more in secret...

However, there is another issue that makes Zheng Jun a little worried.

That is, could it be that the county magistrate had seen through his grand plan and wanted to trick him into coming in under the pretext of a meeting?
After I went over there, I immediately shouted and captured myself?
Zheng Jun thought about it and felt that it was unnecessary.

My level hasn't reached that level yet.

One thought comes to this,
Zheng Jun took a deep breath and said, "Brother, then, should I go into the city now and meet the county governor?"

"That's right. If possible, we can go to the county town today and travel at lightning speed. We can go back and forth in two or three days and won't delay the recruitment of soldiers." Cai Xun nodded seriously, and then excitedly planned to take Zheng Jun with him and set off now.

Zheng Jun said quickly, "Brother, wait a minute. I came here in a hurry when I heard that you were coming. I forgot to put on my shoes. I will go back and put them on now!"

Cai Xun was startled when he heard Zheng Jun's words. Only then did he notice that Zheng Jun was barefoot. His heart immediately warmed, and he said darkly, "I never thought that my dear brother would care about me so much. When he knew I was coming, he even forgot to wear shoes and ran all the way here... Such a close brother should follow me till death!"

I am filled with emotion!

He had completely forgotten that he was actually Zheng Jun's recommender, and Zheng Jun should be considered his subordinate.

Seeing that Cai Xun noticed his barefoot appearance, Zheng Jun was very satisfied.

Finally, I have gotten rid of this burden.

"My dear brother, go back and pack your things. I'll have Cai Liu take the carriage and wait for you at the Military Department. You can go there directly by carriage. My green-maned horse has some demon blood mixed in it, so it can barely be considered half-demon. It can travel very fast!"

In this case, Zheng Jun did not hesitate at all. After bowing to Cai Xun, he immediately returned home, prepared to put on his shoes, and set off that day.

Seeing Zheng Jun in such a hurry, Qing Dai immediately asked, "Sir, are you going on a long journey?"

"It will take about two or three days to go to the county town... maybe longer, but I will be back in four or five days at most." Zheng Jun nodded and said, "I didn't have time to inform my sister and brother-in-law. Qingdai, please ask Baizhi to let them know later."

"Ah."

Qingdai nodded slightly, then immediately stood up and prepared some clothes for Zheng Jun. At the same time, she whispered, "My lord, you are going to the county town alone. Qingdai is a little worried. Why don't I go with you? This way, I can serve you at any time."

"It's a long journey, will you come with me?"

Zheng Jun looked at Qingdai, quite surprised.

"Don't worry, sir. Qingdai has also learned some martial arts and has some experience in blood refining. Although she has only refined blood once, she can protect herself on the official road! Since you are new to the county city, Qingdai can also help you prepare and gather information in advance."

Qingdai held up her white goose neck, her eyes flashing with confidence, and said to Zheng Jun: "On the road of martial arts, you must make progress every day, and you can't be lazy for even a day! Qingdai follows you around, and you can also eat hot medicinal food every day. If you stop for a day, you will lose a day of progress!"

Of course, Qingdai was not the one who had to make the preparations and gather information in advance.

Instead, Qingdai wanted to use the branch of Jishidiang in Pingzhang County to make arrangements.

After hearing this, Zheng Jun thought for a while and nodded, "In that case, I'll trouble Xiao Qingdai."

"Yes, son."

Qingdai was delighted, but felt a little embarrassed the next second: "Young Master, you are really good at teasing me. Qingdai is already sixteen years old, only four months younger than you. She can't be considered little Qingdai!"

A sixteen-year-old blood-refining warrior who had practiced blood once?
If he were in Heishan County, he would be considered a pretty good little genius.

Du Ding from the Ma Family Boxing Gym also practiced blood refining for the first time when he was about sixteen years old.

Now I am twenty years old, and I have only refined blood four times.

Xu Zhilei is twenty-four years old and has only refined blood six times.

However, from this perspective, the strength of his subordinates is still a little too weak.

The only Qi-accumulating warriors are Xu Tianfang and Yuan Yaoyang, both of whom work for Tongzhou Club. Yuan Yaoyang's heart meridian has been damaged only in the past three or four years.

Alas, I shouldn’t have killed Yuan Yaoyang if I had known this earlier.

Zheng Jun felt a little regretful in his heart.

The repayment progress didn't increase much, and we lost a useful tool.

"I was promoted to captain. The Black Mountain Guard and the two newly established cities all need captains. This is the gap for three Qi-accumulating warriors. After Yang Jun was promoted to captain, there is still a shortage of two captains."

Zheng Jun thought to himself, feeling somewhat helpless.

We started too early, and our subordinates don't have enough strength accumulated.

Zheng Jun shook his head helplessly, and just after Zheng Jun thought for a moment, Qingdai had packed all her luggage and changed out of her plain long skirt for a more compact plain outfit.

After changing into tight clothes, Qingdai looked a bit like a chivalrous girl in the martial arts world, with a high ponytail, a long sword with a green sheath hanging diagonally at her waist, her eyes sparkling, and she looked heroic.

The housekeeper Qingdai evolves into Jianghu Qingdai!
Switching form.

"Sir, I will ask the brothers in Tongzhouhui to rent a carriage for you, and we..."

However, even though she had transformed into a chivalrous woman, Qingdai still behaved like a housekeeper and spoke to Zheng Jun.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jun immediately shook his head and said, "No need, let's go directly to the Military Affairs Department. Big Brother has prepared a green-maned horse with half-demon blood for me."

Hearing Zheng Jun say this, Qingdai did not hesitate at all. She immediately carried her bag and followed Zheng Jun.

Soon, a carriage drove out of Heishan County and headed towards Pingzhang County.

……

The rosy glow of the sunset is reflected in the misty morning sky, with white haze like smoke.

On the official road of Pingzhang County, a horse-drawn carriage was traveling on this wide road.

This carriage is extremely luxurious. Its body is made of golden wood and is carved with some small animal patterns that symbolize good luck and peace. It looks quite cute.

The horse pulling the carriage had long and strong limbs and a red and black body, but what was surprising was that its mane was blue!

The pair of upright horse eyes seemed somewhat ferocious, and the hot air coming out of the nostril gave off a demonic feeling.

The coachman driving the carriage was an old servant under Cai Xun, namely Cai Liu.

Cai Liu drove the carriage, sitting upright, and headed all the way to Pingzhang County.

Cai Liu only felt that this was like a dream and an illusion, and it was only three or four months' work.

The younger generation who always calls himself "senior" has already grown into a towering tree, and goes on tours with beautiful girls, sitting in the carriage.

And I will be driving for this younger generation.

But there is nothing to say. Cai Liu used to feel a little jealous of Zheng Jun who was making such rapid progress.

But as Zheng Jun killed Meng Xian and destroyed Yuan Yi, that trace of jealousy disappeared.

Everyone would feel envious and jealous of the success of those around them, but if they succeed too much, then the jealousy will disappear and instead turn into awe.

Cai Liu is now very respectful to Zheng Jun.

He could also feel that a stream of true energy was being absorbed inside the carriage. Even while on the road, Zheng Sanlang did not forget to practice.

This attitude is enough to make Cai Liu admire him.

In the carriage, Qingdai sat obediently beside, her beautiful eyes staring at Zheng Jun's handsome face intently, looking a little absent-minded.

In Jishiditang, how many warriors come and go to buy and sell medicines?

When Qingdai was an apprentice, she also followed her aunt and witnessed all the business transactions with her own eyes.

She had seen at least eight hundred warriors, if not a thousand.

But no one, like Master Zheng, could practice so hard. Even in the bumpy carriage, he had to not stop for a moment!
What a firm determination in martial arts!
The purpose of many warriors practicing martial arts is to allow themselves to live a life of enjoyment.

After living a good life, the desire to practice martial arts will gradually fade.

But someone like my own young master, who has already achieved success and fame and is still persisting in practicing, is a true dragon in the world!

Thinking of this, a hint of reverence flashed across Qingdai's beautiful eyes, and she also had a faint longing in her heart.

At this moment, Zheng Jun, who had been stared at by Qingdai, suddenly opened his eyes with a cold look.

Suddenly meeting Zheng Jun's eyes, Qingdai blushed slightly, feeling a little flustered, and subconsciously looked away.

Zheng Jun didn't notice Qingdai's attitude, but smiled and said, "Qingdai, sit tight, there's someone who can't wait to reincarnate."

Before Qingdai could react, she saw Zheng Jun lift the curtain and stand up among the galloping horses with a knife in hand.

Cai Liu was surprised when he saw this, and subconsciously asked, "Zheng Dutou, what are you doing?"

"It doesn't matter, there are some cowardly rats who are ambushing here."

Zheng Jun smiled casually, then stared into the quiet woods ahead, holding his breath and practicing the Wave-Treading Sword Technique.

Only after the carriage galloped nearby did Zheng Jun press the handle with five fingers, and the Beirong sword came out of the sheath, and a flash of green light flashed in an instant.

"boom!"

The next moment, a blade light that was almost tangible flashed out.

The blade can break anything.

Several trees in front were all cut off by Zheng Jun's knife. The trees fell down with a loud bang, and along with the trees, there were several screams.

At the same time as the screams rang out one after another, a figure with real energy jumped high up from the woods, intending to escape by stepping on the trees.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun drew his sword again.

It could almost be described as an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. The blade did not stop at all. The guy who used his true energy to escape by stepping on wood was directly chopped down by Zheng Jun. He fell to the ground and splashed a pool of blood.

The remaining people who survived by chance fled in all directions.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Jun put away his knife and did not continue to attack.

[Strike from a distance, kill the thief with two swords. The repayment progress of the Treading Wave Sword Skill is +96, and the current repayment progress is: 7274/10000. ]

Small ink characters appeared in front of him, but Zheng Jun remained calm.

After sheathing his sword, Zheng Jun looked at Cai Liu, who was already dumbfounded, and asked, "Old senior, where is this place, and why are there Qi-accumulating warriors ambushing here?"

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Cai Liu came back to his senses, and hurriedly pulled the reins, and replied: "Zheng...Zheng Dutou, this is in Langkang County."

"Langkang County?"

Zheng Jun nodded, without saying much, and sat back in the carriage.

The wife of the second son of the Yan family seems to be the daughter of the chief clerk of Langkang County.

This matter may have something to do with him.

But no matter whether it had anything to do with him or not, the attack he suffered in Langkang County had a lot to do with him, the chief clerk.

Just kill him on the way back.

Zheng Jun nodded slightly, without thinking too much, and continued to practice his breathing.

To Zheng Jun, ordinary Qi-accumulating warriors were no different from those blood-refining warriors who had refined their blood seven or eight times.

The kind that can be killed with one strike.

That’s not the case.

At least a warrior who accumulates energy can provide himself with more repayment progress.

It is still more useful than the blood-refining warrior.

Only the direct descendants of major clans and the elite of major sects among the Qi-accumulating warriors are worthy of his attention.

Cai Liu, who was driving, was in a trance.

He could feel that the Qi-accumulating warrior who was killed by Zheng Jun's casual sword attack was of similar level to him.

Even so, Zheng Sanlang killed the warrior who was accumulating energy easily and without any difficulty.

Just draw the sword and put it away, that's all.

Zheng Sanlang, is he so terrifying?
Cai Liu thought in his heart.

This is no different from an outer-level warrior.

No wonder he could kill two outer guards, Meng Xian and Yuan Yi Zhenren!

From then on, Cai Liu only felt fortunate.

Fortunately, when the third son of the family came to Heishan County to serve as the county lieutenant, he did not pick on someone to make an example of him.

Otherwise, Zheng Jun, who was the most eye-catching at the time, would definitely be regarded as a troublemaker.

By then, I’m afraid even my life would be in danger!

Thinking of this, Cai Liu calmed himself down and continued driving the carriage towards Pingzhang County.

"drive!"

"..."

"drive!"

After two days and one night of sleepless travel, the carriage finally arrived at Pingzhang County.

The carriage slowed down and slowly stopped under the towering city wall. Above the arched city gate, the two words "Pingzhang" were written in a vigorous and powerful manner.

It has a somewhat majestic meaning.

As soon as the carriage approached, several soldiers came forward and intended to interrogate them.

"Everyone in the car, get off for routine inquiries!"

"Don't waste time, maybe there are some prohibited items!"

"..."

The soldiers were all somewhat delighted.

When you come across a fat sheep arriving in a horse-drawn carriage, of course you have to slaughter it.

We have to squeeze out at least ten taels of silver, otherwise we won’t let them in no matter what and will confiscate their carriage!

After all, the landlords and rich people who came from the countryside like to use this kind of pomp and circumstance the most.

Looking at the soldiers rushing around, Zheng Jun just lifted the curtain slightly, his eyes cold, and looked around like an eagle.

Seeing Zheng Jun's cold and fierce gaze, the soldiers who wanted to inspect the car suddenly froze in place, sweating profusely.

Zheng Jun snorted coldly, and Cai Liu, who was driving, showed his token without hesitation: "How dare you stop the Cai family's car? The person sitting in the car is the new captain of the Black Mountain Pass, Zheng Jun, who was summoned by the county governor himself. Get out of here!"

After hearing the words "Cai family" and "captain", the soldiers guarding the city gate were really shocked, but they still said with a stiff upper lip: "Sir, Lord Tang has personally issued an order that the bandits are about to plunder the territory, and they want to see how many people are in your car..."

"Look."

Zheng Jun pulled open the curtain and let the soldier take a look. The soldier then felt relieved and quickly made way for Zheng Jun's carriage to enter the city.

Cai Liu didn't hesitate at all and drove directly into the city.

When the carriage entered the city, residents gave way.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but sigh: "The Cai family is too ostentatious."

A family that wants to rebel is so ostentatious in the county town.

Aren't you worried about something bad happening?

"Please ask Mr. Cai Liu to drive to Ningxiang Pavilion."

At this moment, Qing Dai suddenly spoke to Cai Liu outside the house, "Young Master, your residence in the county city for the next few days will be in Ningxiang Pavilion."

"Ningxiang Pavilion?"

Cai Liu took a breath of cold air.

That’s the most expensive building in the city, every inch of land is worth a lot of money!

Zheng Jun didn't know what Ningxiang Pavilion was, but as long as he had a place to stay, it would save money if he didn't stay in a restaurant.

However, he stopped the carriage and said, "Then you guys go put down your luggage first. I will go to the county governor's mansion alone. Driving there will be too conspicuous and inappropriate."

"Wait a minute, come to the county governor's mansion to pick me up."

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Cai Liu wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he felt that what Zheng Jun said made sense, so he immediately nodded and let Zheng Jun get out of the car, and then headed towards Ningxiang Pavilion.

After getting off the car, Zheng Jun randomly found a roadside stall, spent some money to buy two pears, and after casually asking about the location of the county magistrate's mansion, he ate the pears and walked towards the mansion.

Zheng Jun was wearing an official robe and a badge on his waist.

He arrived at the county governor's mansion very smoothly, but was stopped by the guards in front of the county governor's mansion: "Who are you?"

The soldiers guarding in front of the county magistrate's mansion are truly elite soldiers.

Ordinary soldiers are already blood-refining warriors.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun also said very politely: "I am Zheng Jun, the former captain of the Black Mountain Guard, and now the captain of the Black Mountain Fortress of the Pingzhang Camp. The county governor summoned me last time, and I entered the city today to pay a visit to the county governor."

"It turned out to be General Zheng."

Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately bowed and said, "Please wait for a moment, General Zheng. We will let you in only after we have informed you."

Being a team leader is a military duty.

According to folk stories, he is a minor general.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with calling someone a general when the sedan chair is carried by someone.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jun bowed and thanked him.

Low profile.jpg
I, Zheng Jun, do not like fighting in my life. I prefer peace.

Zheng Jun waited patiently in front of the county magistrate's mansion.

He thought it would take some time, but unexpectedly, in just a cup of tea, Zheng Jun saw a figure hurriedly walking out of the county magistrate's mansion.

The visitor was wearing a scarlet official robe with a mandarin duck pattern embroidered on his chest. He came over with great interest. After seeing Zheng Jun, he was overjoyed. He immediately stepped forward and said sincerely, "Zheng Sanlang is finally here! I have been waiting for Zheng Sanlang as long as I have been waiting for rain after a long drought!"

The sincerity of the words caught Zheng Jun off guard.

Looking at the scarlet official robe with the mandarin duck pattern.

Then you will know who is coming.

It is the official of Pingzhang County, Lord Tang Yutang, the governor of Pingzhang County!
But soon, Zheng Jun noticed something.

This Tang Yu, the governor of Tang County, actually came barefoot.

She was only wearing silk stockings.

For a moment, Zheng Jun couldn't hold it anymore.

Are you trying this trick too?
　There is one more chapter, and 1,300 words left. I am almost done, so I will post this chapter first.
