He Yanxiao is practicing quietly here.

The news of the destruction of the "Altar of Immortality" has spread to the ears of some people in Guanglin County from the complicit people in Yongxian County.

Among the kingdoms of Muxizhou in Tianyun Fifteen Continents, Xu State is divided into three states, five counties and seventeen counties. It is not a very big country, with a population of only two million. And conflicts between the three states and five counties are inevitable.

, the relationship is complicated.

Small but complete.

Logically speaking, states and counties always overlap, and a state must include at least one independent county.

But judging from the fucking settings of the three states and five counties, the scope of the capital city of Ningjing must at least be larger than the county city. Then no one among the states and counties will submit to the other for the remaining territory...

Regardless of whether the establishment is empty or not, there are officials in the state and officials in the county, and naturally they have conflicts of interest.

It is definitely not possible to rely on the soldiers below to compete with each other. In the end, you have to rely on your ability to speak. It is somewhat similar to the early Sui Dynasty, and it is a pocket version.

But no matter how small-minded, even if Chi Qian is suspected of being a bastard, in this world of immortals and martial arts, if you really want to speak, you still have to rely on your fists. It is not uncommon to see aristocratic families, famous sects and the like.

Everyone has martial arts training, which means that the order cannot be stable forever. Especially the royal power of Xu Kingdom is not particularly reliable.

Under this situation, a unique martial arts system was formed. Most of the counties in the county were run by three religions and nine schools, as well as boxing gyms and martial arts schools opened by some traveling martial arts masters.

When they get to the prefectures and counties, their grades are automatically lowered one level, and they have to move closer to the local leaders of the aristocratic families. In the county towns, unlike the counties below, there will be some formal Confucian sects setting up academies.

In places ruled by feudal dynasties, Confucianism can often cooperate with the ruling class and complement each other to effectively rule.

The country of Xu is no exception.

The academies established in the five counties are all under the Wenxinguan of Ningjing City. The Lushan Academy in Guanglin County is directly under the jurisdiction of Wenxinguan.

In a place as small as Xu State, only the capital city of Ningjing has the need for famous sects to set up strongholds, but there are only a few pitiful ones. Unlike the central Yuhuangzhou, it is said that hundreds of schools of thought contend, and immortals, martial arts, gods, and magic fight against each other.

Vertical and horizontal, it is fascinating.

However, although Xu State is located on the border and is not very prosperous, people with unsatisfactory desires and no one can effectively restrain their actions will occasionally become more crazy and their authority will become more concentrated.

The State of Xu is said to have three major masters of metaphysics, namely "Haoshou Qiongjing" and Yan Jinggao, the masters of the Wenxin Pavilion.

Yi Canglan, the general who protects the country and is loyal to the leader of Xu State, and Zhuang Longyuan, the head of the Zhuang family in Guanglin County.

As for the He family, a scholarly family from Guanglin County, the head of the family, He Qingyue, is the dean of Lushan Academy. With the support of the Wenxin Academy, he is not afraid of the powerful bankers.

Just seven days later, a shocking case occurred. Except for a few people including the head of the family at Lushan Academy, the entire He family was almost silenced.

Only a mark of twenty-eight stars surrounding a black sun-like "black lotus" was left on the scene, which immediately aroused the attention of the court and the discussion among the people.

The occurrence of this tragedy instantly broke the already peaceful situation.

"...Why did you come to me?"

Ten days later, He Yanxiao, who was in Jingan County, Yongxian County, was tuning the strings of his musical instrument. He looked at his contemporaries who came with gloomy and sad faces, and said calmly: "The murder of the He family should not be a matter of the government."

, what does it have to do with me?"

"Third brother, no matter what, blood is thicker than water. Don't you understand the truth of lips dying and teeth cold?"

"Of course I don't understand. I was already a dead person three years ago."

He Yanxiao was not prepared to acknowledge the kinship between his predecessors from the very beginning.

However, the experience of the He family being massacred by a cult horrified him.

After all, according to conventional rules, He Qingyue is a Confucian teacher and generally attaches great importance to etiquette.

Since He Yanxiao was born as a concubine, and the matter of the "Altar of Immortality" was over, there must be a few thorns in the direct lineage of the He family that would come to trouble him, and they would do something like feudal ethics, forced recognition of ancestors, and so on.

It's only right to contribute to the He family as a thug.

No matter how bad it is, someone should ask He Yanxiao what's going on, right?

As a result, the fate of the He family was worse than what He Yanxiao had imagined, and they were all dead overnight.

But the remaining survivors of the He family approached Jing'an Bureau. Even if He Yanxiao was curious about the whole story, there was no reason to jump into the fire pit: "A few days ago, Wang Wenyun, the magistrate of Yong County, sent people to inquire about the status of the Immortal Altar several times.

, I answered everything accurately. In the final analysis, it was the He family who 'colluded' with the cult first. Mei Heying's plan failed, so you can't blame me for being retaliated against, right?"

"What collusion with a cult? But... at that time, it was clearly the altar of longevity that you, the third child, requested to go to..."

"Huh? Is it honorable for the He family to trick a fourteen-year-old into becoming an undercover agent?"

Seeing He Yanzhong's denial, He Yanxiao disagreed: "I narrowly escaped death a month ago. I have nothing to do with the He family."

"Why, you can even deny your biological father?"

"What do you think?"

He Yanxiao nodded without hesitation: "If there is nothing else, you two can leave."

"you?!"

The two young men who came were the eldest son He Yanzhong and the second son He Yanyi. Although they were both born with the word "yan", they did not share the same name. They and He Yanxiao were not from the same mother.

Of course, both of them are dead now, and they are no different from He Yanxiao...

He Yanzhong was ten years older than He Yanxiao, and he seemed to be more straightforward at first glance. His face became even more ugly when he heard this: "To be honest, the third child, the second child and I are not just here to find you, we want to ask you to find the Jing'an Division."

Foreign aid, seek justice for our He family."

"Pfft, seek justice?"

He Yanxiao couldn't help laughing and said: "Is this justice for you if you throw the bastard into the tiger's den? Forget it, there is no point in talking to you about this. If you really want justice, whether it is the owner of the Yan Palace or the owner of the Zhuang family in the same county,

He should be the one you turn to for help, right?"

"Master Yan has a lot of things to do all day long, but he has no skills at all. Mr. Zhuang doesn't deal with our family. Who in the city of Guanglin County doesn't know?"

Compared with He Yanzhong's moderation, He Yanyi spoke more directly: "My father was the one who suffered the most when his family members were destroyed. My father failed to recover, and the people of Lushan Academy were in chaos. Isn't it just him, Mr. Zhuang, who has the final say in Guanglin County?"

"oh?"

Obviously, He Qingyue is backed by Wenxin Guan, so he must be on the same team as Yan Jinggao, and he must not be able to deal with Zhuang Longyuan. To use a simple analogy, civil servants and nobles do not like each other.

But in this way, the He family was killed in pieces. It seems that the suspect cannot be Zhuang Longyuan, otherwise it would be too obvious. But to wipe out the He family, it is almost impossible to have a master of "Zhongxuan"

It's impossible...

The strangeness here is naturally self-evident.

Although there was such a Zhongxuan master in Guanglin County, He Yanxiao was under a lot of pressure. But he calmed down after looking at the "glutinous rice" squatting on the steps of the meeting hall, licking his calf.
