Seeking the Flying Sword Path Chapter 17: Visit from the Sheriff
bsp;In spring, the sun is just right.
Qin Yun was lying on a chair, sipping tea.
“Xiao Shuang’s fame has soared now, and she has entered the top ten in this selection of oiran. In seven days, she will board the boat with nine other famous courtesans for the real final competition for oiran.” Qin Yun shook his head slightly, “It’s just that her fame didn’t have enough time to spread slowly. The people who really pursue her are probably not as good as Fairy Qingqiu and Miss Xiangyi. It’s a bit risky to get into the top three, and it’s even more difficult to win the Oiran.”
After seven days, the real competition for the oiran will begin.
At that time, ten famous prostitutes will compete for beauty on the boat, each using their own tricks, and there will be a huge crowd of onlookers. The top three will be decided that day, as well as the final courtesan. That was a major event in Guangling County!
“The star-pattern steel I got last time has been refined, and some of the materials I brought with me can’t last more than a few days!” Qin Yun secretly said, “It seems like I have to buy a lot to practice my natal flying sword, but it only takes a day.” I can’t stop. When my natal flying sword is perfected, my strength will increase greatly.”
“Huh?”
There was a very low vibration coming from the ground, which ordinary people could not detect, but Qin Yun felt so keenly that his expression changed slightly: “A lot of people are coming towards my Qin Mansion?”
******
On the street.
“It’s the Sheriff.”
“Get away quickly, get away quickly.”
“Stay away.”
Whether they were common people, ruffians, wealthy businessmen, or even children of wealthy families, everyone quickly moved out of the way, not daring to offend him at all.
In Guangling County, the Sheriff is God! Absolute earth emperor!
A luxurious carriage was moving slowly, pulled by two horses, and was surrounded by a large group of armored guards, each of whom was extremely powerful. Even if the old demon Chu Yong dares to rush into the governor’s personal guards, there will only be one result – being torn into pieces!
“Where are you going, Lord Sheriff?”
“It’s okay that there’s only one Qin Mansion around, but the county guard has never been to the Qin Mansion before.”
“You don’t know this. The second young master of the Qin family, ‘Qin Yun’, is a man among the gods. The county guard must be here because of this second young master of the Qin family.”
“So what if you knock on the gate of immortality? The Sheriff protects millions of people in one area. Ordinary immortal cultivators would not dare to make any mistakes in the face of the Sheriff.”
There were whispers everywhere.
……
The entrance of Qin Mansion.
Qin Liehu, his wife Chang Lan, the eldest son Qin An, and the second son Qin Yun are already waiting.
My wife Chang Lan asked doubtfully: “Liehu, it has been so many years since we moved to Guangling County, but the county governor has never been to our home. Even if he wanted to see you, he would have sent someone directly to summon you. How could he come in person? .”
“I’m afraid you’re not here to see me, but to see our son.” Qin Liehu also lowered his voice and said.
“Meet Yun’er?” Chang Lan asked, “Yun’er just came back, why did he come to see Yun’er?”
Qin Liehu said: “How do I know this? But Yun’er is only twenty-one this year, and it has only been a few years since he opened the Immortal Gate. Logically, he is a dignified county governor and does not need to pay so much attention to Yun’er. But now that he is here, I’m afraid I have something to ask for. Yun’er, given his status, if he really wants to ask you something, it’s not going to be an easy thing, so he needs to be very cautious.”
“I understand, kid.” Qin Yun nodded.
Qin Liehu nodded slightly.
In his heart, the safety of his son is naturally the most important thing.
Qin Yun looked at it from a distance, and he could tell at a glance that the luxurious carriage was not an ordinary thing, and the carriage had a strange luster that even a powerful bow and crossbow could not break open. There were five people beside the carriage, some were old men and some were women, riding horses, and their demeanor was extraordinary. There are hundreds of personal guards following around. Each of these personal guards has divine light inside, and every move has great power.
“The Sheriff’s Mansion, the Guards.” Qin Yun said secretly, “They say that half of the masters in Guangling County are in the Sheriff’s Mansion! Although it is a slight exaggeration, it is somewhat true. That is, I met If the Guards come to kill you, you can only run for your life.”
“LuluLv~~~”
The carriage stopped.
A middle-aged man got off the carriage first, and then he carefully helped an old man get off the carriage.
“Your Majesty, Qin Liehu, pays homage to the Lord Commander.” Qin Liehu immediately saluted respectfully, and his wife and two young masters behind him also saluted. Qin Yun stood at the back and also saluted.
There were hundreds of people around, but everything was quiet.
The old man was quite old and had gray hair. He looked at Qin Liehu with turbid eyes and said with a smile: “No need to be polite. I came to Mr. Qin’s house today because I also wanted to meet the boss of our Guangling County. A great hero.” He turned to Qin Yun and smiled.
“A great hero?” Qin Liehu was a little confused. Although his son was a cultivator, a practitioner could not be considered a great hero.
“Master Sheriff, please come in quickly.” Qin Liehu immediately led the way without thinking too much.
A group of people entered the house.
Come to the main hall.
The old man, the woman and four other masters were guarding outside the hall. The old county guard only brought two people inside, and Qin Liehu only brought Qin Yun into the hall.
In the main hall.
The old county guard naturally sat in the main seat, Qin Liehu and Qin Yun sat on one side, and the other two middle-aged people sat on the other side.
“Let me introduce you.” The old county guard pointed to the nearest man in green robe, “This is Brother Fang, who is also the temporary commander of my personal guard.”
“Commander Fang Da.”
Qin Liehu and Qin Yun immediately handed over slightly.
Qin Liehu even said: “Yun’er, Commander Fang Da is the number one expert in our Guangling County, and he is also an expert in the innate virtual core realm.”
“In front of little brother Qin Yun, I am not an expert.” The man in green robe smiled calmly.
“Before I returned to Guangling, I heard that there are two seniors in the Xiantian Void Dan Realm in Guangling County. One is Commander Fang and the other is Master Meixia.” Qin Yun smiled and said, “Commander Fang is in charge of Guangling. Ling, I admire you for protecting your safety.”
There are only two experts in the entire Guangling County who are at the Innate Void Core Realm, and one of them has defected to the imperial government and served as the commander of the personal guard for the county governor! Throughout the world, the commander of the personal guards of every county and county guard… is almost always held by an expert in the Xiantian Void Core Realm. This shows that the imperial government attaches great importance to the ‘prefecture guard’.
After all, the imperial court was also worried that the ‘prefect’ it sent would be attacked and beheaded by monsters.
So the most powerful military force under the command of the county governor is naturally the army in the county. There are more than 10,000 people, strong soldiers and horses, and many powerful weapons. Ranked second is the ‘guards’ who always protect the governor. Although the number of the guards is only 600, they are absolute elites. The leader is an expert in the innate virtual core realm. . The third in line are the six-door police officers, who maintain the stability of hundreds of thousands of people in the city.
“It’s too much praise.” Commander Fang smiled calmly, “We can’t compare with little brother Qin Yun. Little brother Qin Yun really protects the safety of countless living beings.”
“Don’t be so modest, both of you.” The old county guard pointed to the elegant middle-aged man sitting next to Commander Fang, “This is my son Wen Chong.”
Both parties greeted each other.
The governor’s son ‘Wen Chong’ immediately said: “After learning about Brother Qin Yun, I have always wanted to come and visit. Only today did I have the opportunity. Brother Qin Yun, dare I ask about the ‘demon disaster’ at the border of the North?” What does it look like? I heard it’s extremely scary.”
“Northern border?” Qin Liehu was surprised.
“Why, Mr. Qin doesn’t know yet?” the old county guard said with a smile.
Qin Liehu was confused and turned to look at his son.
Qin Yun was helpless.
He didn’t want his parents to worry, so he never said anything.
Wen Chong saw this and said: “I am the one who talks too much.”
“I have to tell my parents after all.” Qin Yun shook his head and said, “I traveled all over the world and came to the far north, wanting to see the legendary northern border that resists evil spirits. But when I saw There were too many misfortunes caused by the demon, so he joined the army out of anger and stayed there for only three years.”
“Three years?” Qin Liehu was surprised, “Yun’er, have you stayed at the Beidi border for three years?”
“Places like that are very tragic. There are a lot of casualties every day, and monsters are also dying one after another.” The old county guard said, “It’s amazing to be able to stay there for three years.”
Commander Fang said: “According to the records handed down by the imperial court, little brother Qin Yun has killed quite a few monsters.”
“We act in the army.” Qin Yun shook his head, “It’s about mutual cooperation, not my own strength.”
“Being able to kill so many and still survive is a matter of skill.” Commander Fang said.
Qin Yun was stunned and nodded slightly: “Yes, it is not easy to survive.”
Those friends.
Either to hone oneself, or to accumulate merit, or because of anger. In short, the practitioners come from all over the world, but they all go to the border of the North to resist the evil evil.
In three years, more than half of them died in battle! There are also serious injuries, but only 20 to 30% of them actually leave safely. I have stayed for a long time, because of a promise, I stayed for three years before leaving!
Scenes from my memory flashed before my eyes.
Those smiling faces.
The madness between life and death.
The figure who died happily and sang loudly.
“Practitioners practice in seclusion, in the world of mortals, and in the military.” Qin Yun said.
“Haha, Mr. Qin is right, everything is about practice. I came today, firstly, to meet great heroes like Mr. Qin. Secondly, I want Mr. Qin to help me with something.” said the old county guard. .
“Here he comes.” Qin Liehu’s heart tightened.
“Please speak, Lord Sheriff.” Qin Yun was calm.
The old county guard smiled and said: “In the Cangya Mountain, the highest mountain in our Guangling County, there is a spiritual fruit conceived deep in the mountain. The spiritual fruit only has more than a month left to mature. I want to invite you. Mr. Qin, help me get the fruit when it is ripe. Of course it is not just you, there are two other people traveling with you. Of course I will not treat Mr. Qin badly.”
Wen Chong on the side immediately took out a thick stack of banknotes from his arms and put them on the coffee table next to Qin Yun. Qin Yun glanced at it and saw that the top one was in denomination of one thousand taels. .
“A total of one hundred thousand taels.” Wen Chong said with a smile.
Qin Liehu took a breath of cold air.
One hundred thousand taels?
――
Tomato took a breath of cold air: “Did everyone vote for recommendation today? Did you vote for Tomato?”
