In the Heavens

Two months passed in a flash, and the imperial court's order arrived in the county, and the three brothers Li Mu readily signed the document.

Without any accident, the three brothers were still left to serve in Liangzhou. Obviously, the state capital has exerted its strength and does not want to let this military force leave.

In the past five years, the three brothers Li Mu have stabilized the situation in Hanchuan County, although they have not done anything major.

Compared with a group of colleagues who have lost their city and lost their land, the three of them are all proper officials in the central government. In the entire Liangzhou officialdom, they belong to the top wave of talents.

Troubled times show the value of military talents. For the Liangzhou bureaucrats who want to rescue themselves, any military force is valuable.

If only from the surface, in order to win over the three Li Mu brothers, the state government yamen also made a lot of money, not only throwing out the three prefectures, but also connecting them together.

It's a pity that this is just a cake that can be seen but not touched. The three counties of Xicheng, Fangling, and Qinghua, where the three hold positions respectively, are all in positions of real power.

If you want to secure your position, you must first find a way to regain lost ground. There is no chance of salted fish. It was obvious that they wanted the three of them to bring the army and fight the rebels desperately.

Big hands, big bowls. It may be possible to work hard to recover the land of the three counties, but it is completely unrealistic to swallow the land of the three counties.

The result of the snake swallowing the elephant is that most of the time, it is strangled to death. If it is only for the purpose of seeking officials, the position of the governor of such a occupied land can be obtained.

In order to encourage everyone to regain lost ground, the court has repeatedly broken the rules in the appointment of officials. In the face of the cruel reality, the traditional promotion mode of officials who have experienced seniority is changing to "promotion by political achievements".

This is also one of the few reform achievements of Emperor Taichang. It is a pity that this is an extraordinary world, and those who have the ability to recover lost ground for the imperial court are the children of wealthy families.

Both use and prevent. The stronger the ability displayed, the greater the defense against it. Before doing things, everyone must first weigh the pros and cons, and not bring disaster to their own.

In Longshan County, a group of children of the rich and powerful in the county are anxiously waiting for the handover of the land. Both parties have negotiated the terms, and now the last step is left.

Unfortunately, it was not the three Li Mu brothers who greeted them, but an old housekeeper.

"It's really unfortunate that the distinguished guests came, a senior in the clan made a breakthrough in retreat, and the three sons are protecting the law, so they have no time to welcome everyone.

It is not convenient to receive foreign guests in the mansion now. The old man has already had a banquet at Cuiyunju in the city. Please drive and discuss. "

The patrolling soldiers on the inner third floor and the outer third floor, as if they were an army formation, all meant that this was a forbidden area at the moment.

Looking at the murderous sergeant, the angry crowd suppressed their emotions one after another.

Dissatisfaction returns dissatisfaction, and everyone is not a fool. No one would offend the most powerful faction in the county for a momentary battle of willpower.

Even if they knew that the three had left their posts, they were promoted, not demoted. In particular, the three brothers Li Mu still serve in Liangzhou, and they are still neighbors.

With the connections of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and the abilities of the three, maybe one day he will be employed in the prefecture. If you offend people at this time, you will have to pay the price in the future.

The white-haired old man with the highest status stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask Steward Li, have the three young masters ever explained the transfer of industries?"

Courtesy or not, that's just a small problem. After all, everyone's family background is different, and now everyone does not need to continue to cooperate, and it is not unacceptable for Houfu to put on airs.

The key is profit. As long as the industry can be handed over smoothly, then everyone is still "good friends".

The housekeeper in Tsing Yi said with a smile: "The three young masters will naturally not neglect such an important matter.

As early as two days ago, I told you to let the old man hand over the household registration, land deed, account books, etc. to you to check whether there are any omissions. After all confirmations are made, the specific industry transfer will be carried out.

Please understand that there are so many industries involved, and we need time to clean up if we want to fully withdraw.

After the matter is over, the three young masters will personally set the wine and apologize to you! "

There is nothing wrong. The industries in the five counties, from the most basic land and mines, to the real estate, shops, and various businesses in the city, obviously cannot be completed in a day or two.

Although a little unhappy, for the sake of interests, everyone tacitly chose to remain silent.

In recent years, the life of the Hanchuan local clan has not been easy. Local military disasters and security collapse, the biggest losses are these giants.

Some families are even struggling to make ends meet. Against this background, the stable five counties under the rule of Li Mu and the three were something they were bound to gain.

If it wasn't for Li Mu's strong enough performance, they wouldn't endure it for five years. When it was finally time to harvest, everyone showed their joy.

No one knew that a conspiracy was attacking them, and the entire Hanchuan County was swept into it.

…

Xicheng County, as the first occupied county seat, after several struggles with the imperial court, finally fell into the hands of Wenxiang Sect.

Not only Xicheng County, but one-third of Liangzhou's territory is now in the hands of Wenxiang Sect.

However, the success of the uprising did not allow the Wenxiang Sect to soar into the sky, but instead fell into a fierce internal struggle.

The leader, who had been hiding behind him and commanded by remote control, gradually couldn't control the powerful factions who held the army in his hands. The fuse that led to the outbreak of the conflict between the two sides was the "array" that Li Mu could fiddle with.

The biggest reason for the rapid development and growth of the Fragrance Sect is that it has a formation that can destroy the city defense formation. These resources are all in the hands of the head teacher, and they have always been one of the methods used by the head teacher to restrain the division of rudders.

But Li Mu has stopped selling this thing, and now he uses one less. From the perspective of the headquarters, it must be saved a little.

It is too extravagant to use it against the county seat. Unless it is to attack the prefecture, the chief priest will not be released at all.

Regarding the distribution of the formation plate, it has become the core of the competition among the various power factions. Once or twice is fine, but the more times the conflict becomes sharper. Coupled with the struggle for power in the religion, the battle between the parties is inexorable.

As the leader of Xicheng County, Tiantian Monkey is in a very bad mood now. The plan to expand outwards was once again rejected by the headmaster.

To sum it up in one sentence: If you want to expand externally, you can, but you can only rely on the strength of the West City branch, and don't think about the formation.

You don't need to think about it to know that this is another "balance technique". There are people in every county in Liangzhou who have Scent Cult. Whether it is the head teacher or the local branch, they don't want to see the Xicheng branch become bigger.

There is no way to hang up, so you can only attack. Not to mention attacking the county seat, even taking a county seat would have to pay a painful price.

The Heavenly Monkey is a knowledgeable person. He doesn't foolishly learn from other colleagues, and he runs to engage in "blood sacrifices" in order to attack the city.

My own family knows their own affairs, and the gods worshipped by the smell of incense are always going to sacrifice blood. At a glance, they know that they are not good goods.

Since ancient times, after the gods were defeated by the immortals, the Shinto has declined.

Especially after the establishment of the Great Zhou Empire, the imperial court began to cut down mountains and temples, and these grass-headed gods suffered even more disasters.

Except for the cult still offering sacrifices, there are basically no believers. In order to survive, countless gods who rely on the power of faith have fallen into evil gods.

The Seven Emotions and Six Desires God Monarch worshipped by the smelling incense sect is one of them.

As long as you offer enough sacrifices, you can get the power of the gods, or even ask the gods to help.

Of course, the shot is just projection. The true **** of the gods does not dare to take the lead, otherwise Da Zhou's Yuanshen martial artist will immediately kill him.

It's a pity that the sequelae are a bit serious, and all sacrificers will inevitably be affected by divine power, amplify their desires, and gradually get lost in their desires.

"What? You said that someone sent ten arrays and invited us to send troops to attack the Hanchuan Prefecture!"

The Sky Monkey asked in astonishment.

The rare item "Array Pan" was actually used as a gift, which was beyond the Heavenly Monkey's expectations.

The middle-aged man hurriedly replied: "Yes, Marquis! The array disks are all placed here, the villain has already checked with the array master, and they are all genuine.

The visitor also promised that if we can destroy the three great families of Hanchuan, we will offer fifty arrays as a thank you gift.

It seems that he has a grudge against the Hanchuan family. I also heard him muttering that he wanted to use the heads of the three great families as sacrifices to comfort the spirit of the ancestors in the sky. With blood a hundred years ago, the feud of the sect was destroyed. "

Hearing "the revenge of the annihilation of the family a hundred years ago" seemed to awaken the memory of the Heavenly Monkey, and the whole person's complexion changed greatly.

A hundred years ago, the most powerful family in Hanchuan County were not these three, but the Kou family, who could be assigned a number in Liangzhou.

It's just that this family was unlucky. It failed in an expedition to the secret realm, and dozens of high-level leaders, including the head of the family and the elders, were wiped out and replaced by the family below.

The big family is not easy to destroy, no matter how clean it is, there will be fish that slip through the net. It seems that it is not impossible for a person from an ancient clan to be able to get a "formation disk".

…

In Longshan County, the surrounding spiritual energy is frantically pouring into the heavily guarded Li Mansion. At this moment, Li Mu was very depressed. He never thought that breaking through this kind of thing could crash the car.

Their ancestors are really unreliable. Breaking through Jindan is such a big event, and it is not known in advance, which makes the two of them break the mirror at the same time.

Fortunately, I had a firm hand. Not only did I set up a spirit gathering array in the mansion, but I also prepared a lot of energy stones in advance. Otherwise, if the two compete for spiritual energy, there will be fun watching.

Don't bother complaining. A large amount of spiritual power poured in, and the internal force in Li Mu's body gradually changed from liquid to solid, and a small golden core was taking shape in his body.

Carefully caring for the golden core in his body, Li Mu didn't dare to be distracted for a moment, and devoted himself to consolidating the realm, lest he would get a fork in the middle.

As time passed by, Li Liang and Li Song outside the secret room were terrified. Now they finally know why Li Mu is engaged in such a big battle.

The two of them are not ignorant masters, and the aura soaring into the sky is a clear sign of breaking through the golden core.

Breaking through Jindan is such a big event, no matter how careful you are. In addition to his own 3,000 private troops, there are now more than 10,000 troops gathered in Longshan County.

If they let their brothers know that this is a breakthrough golden pill, they must transfer all the troops and horses from all over the country to protect the law.

If the site is lost, it will be lost. As long as the family can add a Jindan warrior, no matter how big the loss is, it will be worth it.

It was a good thing to break through the golden core, but why do you want to bump into each other? If the breakthrough fails due to the collision of the cars and the interference of each other, the loss of the Hou Mansion will be huge.

It's no use worrying. At this time, no matter what you say, it is meaningless, and you can only wait outside quietly for the result.

Time passed minute by minute, and the momentum that belonged to Li Mu suddenly came to an end. UU reading www. When uukanshu.com was worried about Li Mu's failure to break through and rushed over to check, the gate of the retreat suddenly opened.

Looking at the smiling Li Mu, the two asked in unison, "Thirteenth brother, did you succeed in breaking through the golden pill?"

Logically speaking, breaking through Jindan should not be so fast. But the smile on Li Mu's face obviously shouldn't be what a breakthrough failure should have.

Nodding slightly, Li Mu said calmly, "It's just to break through the golden core, are you so surprised?

See how calm and unmoved Gun Gun is. "

The remarks full of Versailles directly left the two speechless. "It's just a golden pill," Li Mu dared to say that. If someone else said that, he would definitely be sprayed to death by the spit stars.

Comparing them to Gun Gun is calm, bullying people is not the way to play. His face was covered in hair, and he couldn't see his facial expressions at all. Just a pair of rolling eyeballs, it is too difficult to judge the true thoughts.

After pondering for a while, Li Song finally didn't know what to say. To meet such a perverted brother is really...
