The first county magistrate in history

Chapter 307 Waiting for 1 person, 1 message

Qin Zheng sighed. "It's from the top brass of Wujie Palace. They've reached some kind of consensus."

Wu Xiaoyou seemed to understand: "So, behind the several departments of Wujie Palace, there are also the support of the top leaders of Wujie Palace."

Qin Zheng nodded, his eyes deep as he spoke quietly, "In addition to the Palace Master, the Wujie Palace also has a Council of Elders. Each department is headed by an elder of the Wujie Palace. They are called Palace Envoys. For example, the elder in charge of the Five Elements Sect is called a Five Elements Palace Envoy.

Therefore, I must disobey the orders of the Five Elements Palace Envoy and forcibly kill Liang Heng. This will make the other Palace Envoys believe that I dare to disobey the orders of the Five Elements Palace Envoy and must have a powerful trump card. This way, they will not dare to act rashly, and the Palace Envoys protecting the King of the Western Territory will be forced to abandon the Western Territory Army.

Wu Xiaoyou was surprised: "Will they give up so easily?"

Qin Zheng: "Whether it's the Four Borders Army, the Prime Minister, or the royal family of Ningguta, including the Empress, they are all just pawns in the struggle between the protectors, and the royal land is the target of their struggle!

The Guardians have a rule: if they fail to protect their target, they must withdraw from the operation. Failure to protect a target also means that the target is no longer useful, so they will not linger. Because instead of fighting for a waste, it is better to choose another one! Therefore, when I killed Liang Heng, it was equivalent to defeating a Guardian.

Wu Xiaoyou broke out in cold sweat, so that's how it is!

His voice trembled slightly. "So, neither of them will allow the kingdom to be destroyed forever. Therefore, if you kill the King of the West, the guardian deity behind him will have no choice but to withdraw!"

Qin Zheng nodded.

Wu Xiaoyou said worriedly: "They won't let adults go!"

Qin Zhengfeng said calmly, smiling faintly: "Don't worry, although there is intrigue and unscrupulous means within the Wujie Palace, no one dares to touch your master openly."

Suddenly he sighed, "Where there are people, there are factions, and the Unbounded Palace is no exception. Trouble!"

Qin Zheng and Wu Xiaoyou finally put their minds at ease, but suddenly their worries became intense again: "Will they secretly target you?"

Qin Zheng nodded: "Yes, but it won't be an assassination. Assassinations are prohibited within the Wujie Palace. Any grudges can be resolved openly. No matter life or death!"

Wu Xiaoyou: "But, sir, how are you going to report this to the Five Elements Palace envoy? You won't be punished, will you?"

Qin Zheng nodded: "Yes, I will be replaced. That Five Elements Palace envoy always gives me trouble. If he wasn't so old, I would have kicked him out long ago!"

Wu Xiaoyou was shocked. "Oh my god, is my master so awesome? He even dares to hit the palace envoy?"

He asked worriedly, "Since you've been replaced, have the Five Elements Sect masters who were protecting you withdrawn? Then, do our special forces have the ability to protect you?"

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry. Over the years, many people have tried to assassinate me, but none of them succeeded!"

Wu Xiaoyou immediately smiled: "I feel relieved now!"

Suddenly, he asked curiously, "Sir, what kind of existence is the Protector God of the Boundless Palace? Can you tell me?"

Qin Zheng: "I can't go into detail. I can only tell you that those rumors are not all true, nor are they all false. In reality, behind every nation in the world, there is the protection of the Boundless Palace's patron saint. It's just that the power of the patron saints varies, which is why there are strong and weak nations."

Wu Xiaoyou was horrified: "The Boundless Palace is the ruler of this world?"

Qin Zheng nodded. "In order to continue and develop, and to enhance the strength of its own departments, the Wujie Palace does not restrict internal competition. Therefore, it leads to competition between departments, and thus frequent wars between countries."

Wu Xiaoyou was shocked: "Isn't this indulgence?"

Qin Zheng smiled bitterly, "Xiaoyou, fighting is the foundation of the world and cannot be eliminated. All things in the world exist under the law of the jungle. If we could truly eliminate the law of the jungle, no one would be able to survive. Even if everyone relied on air to survive, there would still be fighting. Look, aren't you eating a chicken right now? Chickens are the victims of the law of the jungle."

Wu Xiaoyou looked at the chicken leg in front of him and suddenly couldn't eat it anymore.

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "This is the world, this is the rule. If you want to survive, it's not the world that adapts to you, but you adapt to the world."

Wu Xiaoyou smiled bitterly: "My Lord, I am tired just listening to this. Now I truly understand why you want to lie down."

Suddenly he asked, "Sir, why did you come to our Hongtong County? Can you tell me?"

Qin Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "It's nothing, actually. I came out to relax because I didn't want to get involved in the internal fighting. At that time, I was young and frivolous, and when I saw injustice, I took down the official notice. At that time, I thought it was good to stay away from the fighting, but fate did not grant my wish, and I met the Empress!"

Wu Xiaoyou's eyes flickered, "My lord, you had to give up lying down for the sake of the Empress?"

Qin Zheng shook his head. "That's partly the reason, but the main reason is that the Five Elements Sect has its own mission. It's not like they can just lie down and do nothing. This is just a wishful thinking."

Wu Xiaoyou opened her eyes wide, so that's it.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but feel happy: "Fortunately, the adults are here, otherwise, I don't know what Hongtong County would be like!"

Suddenly he frowned: "But why did you plan to run away with Hongtong County so early? Could it be that you have deduced something?"

Qin Zheng suddenly smiled. "Actually, I found a paradise, but there's no one there. The people of Hongtong County treat me like family, and I have deep feelings for Hongtong County. I thought that if one day I don't want to live in this chaotic country anymore, I'll take you there to live a fairyland and spend the rest of my life there."

"Ah?" Wu Xiaoyou was shocked: "Is this true?"

Qin Zheng said seriously: "Of course it's true, but you can't tell anyone what I'm telling you."

Wu Xiaoyou suddenly tilted his head and looked at Qin Zheng: "Sir, why did you tell me such a confidential matter?"

Qin Zheng: "Xiaoyou, you are the person I trust the most, no doubt about it. How could I hide it from you? But if you don't ask, I won't tell you!"

Wu Xiaoyou was immediately overjoyed, his eyes curved with laughter...

Qin Zheng sighed in his heart, if you want to destroy the world, you must drive it crazy, this is destiny!

The world has gone crazy now, and the culprit is actually the Boundless Palace.

If the Boundless Palace does not change, the world will be in chaos.

At that time, there was nothing he could do.

In that case, it would be better to find a place to wait for death.

Since this world is bound to be destroyed anyway, I might as well take my loved ones with me and die together...

Wu Xiaoyou was delighted and asked, "Sir, with so many guardian gods coveting the Daqian Dynasty, won't there be civil unrest?"

Qin Zheng was helpless: "Do you think Daqian is the only one like this?"

Wu Xiaoyou was also helpless: "Sir, what are you going to do next?"

Qin Zheng said quietly, "Let's see how the situation develops before deciding."

Wu Xiaoyou asked again: "Will the new envoy contact the Empress?"

Qin Zheng: "No, generally speaking, no. They help in secret. But it doesn't mean they don't allow contact."

Wu Xiaoyou suddenly blinked and asked, "Sir, can you deduce whether the new messenger is male or female, young or old?"

"I'm too lazy to reason!" Qin Zheng said.

Suddenly he looked at Wu Xiaoyou in confusion: "You care about this?"

Wu Xiaoyou chuckled and said, "I was just asking casually." Then he quickly lowered his head to gnaw on the chicken leg.

Qin Zheng looked at Wu Xiaoyou suspiciously and thought, could it be that she knows about me and the empress?

Wu Xiaoyou suddenly asked, "Sir, what is your position in the Five Elements Sect?"

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "I even dared to disobey the orders of the Palace Envoy. What position do you think I will be assigned?"

Wu Xiaoyou's eyes flickered, and she suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "You are, the leader?"

Qin Zheng just smiled and didn't answer.

Wu Xiaoyou was certain that he was not wrong. He was both excited and in awe. He thought, "How old are the adults? They are really amazing."

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him: "Sir, you are going to rest here for a few days. Are you really going to give those grain merchants another chance?"

Qin Zheng's expression became serious: "I'm waiting for a very important person, a very important piece of news..."
