Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years Chapter 62 - Walking Further and Further on the Road of Death

Chapter 62: Walking Further and Further on the Road of Death

After explaining everything, Liu Litao was already prepared to be rejected by Cui Heng.

After all, the position of governor of Lu County did not seem like a good job.

Unless he killed all the people from these large sects and families and confiscated all their businesses, it was impossible for him to stop them from causing trouble for him.

Otherwise, there was nothing he could do.

However, if he really took action, not to mention whether he could do it or not, even if he could, he would definitely offend most of the sects and families in Fengzhou.

There was no lack of top experts among them.

If it reached that stage, even an Immortal would find it difficult to move.

He couldn’t really kill the entire Fengzhou until blood flowed like a river, right?

It seemed that he still had to continue being the governor of Lu County. Liu Litao felt sorrowful in his heart, as if he could already foresee his tragic future.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard Cui Heng say.

“Then please recommend me to be the governor of Lu County.”

Liu Litao immediately felt as if he had heard the music of Immortals!

He raised his head and looked at Cui Heng in disbelief. “You… you agreed?”

“That’s right.” Cui Heng nodded lightly and smiled. “I agree.”

“County Lord is so righteous. County Lord is really a living G.o.d!” Liu Litao kowtowed in admiration.

This was a sincere exclamation.

He never expected that Cui Heng would accept the position of governor after knowing that Lu County was such a huge mess.

In his opinion, the situation in Lu County City was already unsolvable.

Even if an Immortal went over, it would probably be difficult to make any changes.

Under such circ.u.mstances, the position of Governor of Lu County was a hot potato. There were no benefits at all, and there was endless trouble.

After thinking about it, he could only think that Cui Heng was doing this out of benevolence.

Of course, it should also be because he was confident in his own strength.

After all, this was an Immortal who might have the ability to summon the wind and rain.

“There’s no need to thank me.” Cui Heng waved his hand and said, “Governor Liu, just go and report it. I can take over at any time.”

“At any time?” Liu Litao couldn’t help but be puzzled when he heard that. He couldn’t help but ask, “Then what about the Yan army rebels?”

The destruction of King Yan’s army was something that happened only last night. The news had yet to reach here.

Therefore, in Liu Litao’s understanding, the biggest crisis that Lu County was facing right now was still the hundreds of thousands of Yan army rebels stationed in Xiling County.

Xu Feng’an, who was standing behind Cui Heng, was also puzzled.

Neither he nor Liu Litao doubted that Cui Heng would be able to resist the Yan rebels.

He just didn’t understand why Cui Heng said that he could go to Lu County at any time.

After all, Juhe County was the frontline of the war. If they wanted to resist the Yan rebels, staying here was clearly the best choice.

“Good news!”

“Good news!”

“County Lord, there’s good news!”

At this moment, Hui s.h.i.+’s voice came from outside.

He normally did not show any emotions on his face, but this time, the voice shouting was clearly very excited. It was clearly very important news.

“Come in.” Cui Heng waved outside with a smile.

“Yes, County Lord!” Hui s.h.i.+ walked in quickly with the military report.

He ignored Liu Litao and bowed respectfully to Cui Heng. “Lord County Lord, I just received a military report from the scouts. Last night, hundreds of thousands of meteors fell from the sky in Xiling County.

“In one night, the rebel army of King Yan was completely wiped out. Whether it was the soldiers or the generals, they were all reduced to ashes by the meteors, but they did not injure the ordinary people. According to the people in the city, at that time, there was an Immortal standing in the sky. Everyone thought that the heavens had opened their eyes and sent down divine punishment!”

The military information that was like a myth came out of Hui s.h.i.+’s mouth.

Liu Litao, Qian Cang, and Xu Feng’an, who were standing at the side, were dumbfounded. They could hardly believe their ears.

Hundreds of thousands of meteors rained down and destroyed the hundreds of thousands of Yan rebel troops overnight?!

Their first reaction was—

“How is this possible?!”

This was too ridiculous!

However, Xu Feng’an quickly thought of the Immortal G.o.d who had saved him last night.

If it was that Immortal G.o.d, it might really be possible to do such a miraculous thing.

In one night, he destroyed hundreds of thousands of troops without harming the ordinary people in Xiling County. What kind of great divine power was this!

Even a Human Immortal like the County Lord probably couldn’t do it.

But from the County Lord’s words just now, he should have long known about the destruction of the King of Yan’s rebels.

From this, it could be seen that the County Lord was most likely related to that Immortal G.o.d.

As long as he followed the County Lord, he should have a chance to know that Immortal G.o.d!

This made Xu Feng’an determined to follow Cui Heng.

Liu Litao was in an unprecedented shock.

As the governor of Lu County, he knew very well how terrifying the rebels were.

This was an army that was very likely to completely occupy the entire Fengzhou in a short period of time and become the first rebel regime to occupy an entire province. They had the potential to subvert the Great Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, even if they lost 50,000 troops in Juhe County, Liu Litao did not think that King Yan’s army would stop fighting.

However, he never expected that such an army of rebels would actually disappear overnight.

What kind of power could destroy hundreds of thousands of troops overnight?

This was too unbelievable!

Moreover, from the description of the military report, the so-called Fire Meteors had only eliminated the rebels of King Yan and did not harm ordinary people.

This did not look like a natural disaster.

Could it be man-made?

But what kind of person could do such a bizarre thing?!

Even an Immortal could not do it!

At the thought of immortals, Liu Litao could not help but look at Cui Heng. A thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Could he have done it?

From the words of this County Magistrate Cui just now, he should have known about this before the military report arrived.

Could he really have done it?

This County Magistrate Cui in front of him, the future Governor Cui, had the ability to destroy an army of hundreds of thousands overnight?!

But it was too exaggerated and unbelievable!

It was simply ridiculous.

This guess made Liu Litao’s scalp tingle and his entire body tremble. He vaguely felt that giving the position of governor to Cui Heng seemed to be an extraordinary matter.

Cui Heng saw their reactions and laughed loudly. “This is really a double blessing. Hui s.h.i.+, get Zhao Guang to draft a notice and announce that the entire city will celebrate the destruction of the Yan bandits for three days. All expenses will be paid by the county office.”

“Yes, County Lord!” Hui s.h.i.+ bowed and was about to leave.

“Don’t be in a hurry to leave.” Cui Heng asked him to stay and said, “After drafting the notice, get Zhao Guang to organize a banquet and call Old Lu along. It’s just the four of us. There’s something I need to tell you.”

“County Lord…” Hui s.h.i.+ immediately understood the meaning behind it. He wanted to say something but hesitated. He nodded and replied,” Yes, County Lord! ”

… .

When Liu Litao was about to build an altar and burn the recommendation letter to the Great Jin Imperial Court, the Taichong Sect and the other major sects had already taken action in Lu County

The first change was in the price of food. It actually increased by five times overnight, causing countless citizens to panic.

Coal was next.

Now that winter was approaching, it was time for the people to stock up on coal for the winter.

In the past, during this season, coal would be transported over from other places to be sold.

But this year, for some reason, there was not even a single s.h.i.+p carrying coal.

When the commoners asked the relevant merchants, they only received a reply that they had to wait a while longer.

After coal, cloth, salt, fruits, ores, and so on also changed. The prices either increased by five or six times, or they simply ran out of stock.

This sudden, unreasonable, and even illogical change in the market made the people of Lu County wonder what they had done wrong.

In the end, they could only complain to the county magistrate’s office.

However, they received news that the governor was no longer in the city.

This immediately stunned a large number of citizens.

However, ordinary people were still a little timid in the end. They did not dare to directly resist the government, but they could not bear the loss of a leader figure.

The Taichong Sect and the other major sects and families had already made their arrangements.

When the countless commoners arrived at the Governor’s Office, they could only return empty-handed.

They “responsibly” jumped out and pretended to be furious as they began to attack the government office.

The citizens, who were originally a little afraid, echoed when they saw someone take the lead.

This caused the front of the Governor’s Office to fall into chaos.

They could no longer maintain order.

As the county commandant, Chen Tong was in a terrible fix. He kept muttering in his heart, “New Governor, hurry up and come over…”

At the same time, in a private room of a three-story restaurant.

Sun Pans.h.i.+, the Outer Affairs Deacon of Taichong Sect, was enjoying a feast with five other people.

From time to time, everyone would look out of the window and look at the chaotic entrance of the Governor’s Office. They all laughed loudly, and the surrounding air was filled with joy.

“Hahaha! A good show, a good show!”

Sun Pans.h.i.+ pointed in the direction of the Governor’s Office and laughed. He took a sip of wine and said proudly, “The livelihood of the entire Lu County is in the hands of the six of us. Let’s see how that new county governor will fight against us.”

“Everyone, do you believe that after the new county governor takes office, he will definitely come personally to apologize to us in less than three days?”
