Liaozhai Great Sage

It's already embarrassing to be deflated, and if it doesn't work out, I'm afraid it will be a disadvantage for me if the trouble continues.

"However, this lotus essence is a demon girl from Wutong sect. Our six sects have to arrest her, otherwise it will be difficult to explain the trouble in Zuifenglou. I hope this young master can help me." Suddenly, the lame old man Suddenly mentioned this sentence.

Li Xiuyuan frowned and said nothing.

Chief Cui's face moved slightly, but it was too late to stop his subordinates.

"interesting."

Li Xiuyuan laughed: "As the court's headhunters, you usually don't do anything to let the evil spirits pick up and practice. Now that I, an outsider, has captured the evil spirits, you have to come and ask me for them. Don't you think that your thoughts are a little bit strange?" Is it too much? Do you think you are capable? Or do you really think that I, Li, dare not punish you today?"

"It looks like you are also a practitioner of magic, but I didn't expect that you have no virtue of a practitioner."

"If you don't mind forming a karma with me, it's fine. The lotus girl is there, just take it away. If you can take it away, this lotus flower will be given to you."

After speaking, he waved his hand.

If he really dared to take this lotus away, Li Xiuyuan would immediately order to kill it today.

It's very simple, who knows if they have any connection with the Wutong Sect, maybe they are from the Wutong Sect, this time they are just looking for an excuse to leave with the lotus essence.

If so, how could he bear it.

One must know that this lotus essence is an important means for him to lure Wutongjiao, and it is a very important bait. If the bait is gone, how can he catch Wutongjiao, a big fish?

The lame old man smiled mischievously: "I know that you can capture the lotus essence. I know you are a strong old man, but the old man at the imperial court also has a job to do, right? The spread of the demon disturbance will always affect the public security in the capital."

"It makes sense, but I think there are other goblins hiding in the capital. Why don't I find a thousand-year-old goblin for you today, and let you catch them as scapegoats? I think a thousand-year-old goblin will affect the law and order far Far better than the lotus essence, isn't this a greater contribution?"

Li Xiuyuan asked lightly.

This statement stopped the lame old man.

The thousand-year-old demon's name makes people tremble three times. Catching such a goblin is no different from sending him to death. The thousand-year-old demon's Taoism can compete with the ghosts and gods in the sky. How could they be able to surrender.

"Don't you dare to catch a thousand-year-old monster? Hehe, I see you are getting old, you are an old man, I respect you three points, don't push yourself too hard, I will make arrangements for the monster I catch, don't be greedy, or disaster will happen. it's too late."

Li Xiuyuan said with a cold face.

The lame old man stopped talking, and he didn't covet the lotus essence any more.

Little did he know that his withdrawal of greed saved his life.

"And don't make a fuss about my identity. You sneaked into my house without investigating me at all. It is enough for me not to kill you as assassins. If you really investigate me It won't come today."

"What do you want to know, see for yourself."

Li Xiuyuan didn't say much, took out a roll of yellow cloth scroll from the ghost king's bag, and threw it to Chief Cui.

"Ok?"

Mr. Cui caught his eyes and immediately took it in his hand: "This thing is..."

"You're a servant in the capital, don't you think so?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Mr. Cui felt the silkiness of the satin in his hand, and then looked at its color, it should be something only available to the royal family... and the style looks very much like an imperial decree.

With a bit of surprise, he opened the cloth scroll to take a look, and immediately narrowed his eyes.

It's really an imperial decree.

And the more I looked at it, the more surprised Cui was, especially the ink pen on the imperial decree clearly wrote a person's name: Li Xiuyuan.

Isn't it the person in front of you?

Li Xiuyuan said: "How is it? Does Mr. Cui have any doubts about my identity?"

President Cui's expression changed immediately after reading the imperial edict, and he immediately became serious, holding the imperial edict with both hands and knelt down on one knee: "Cui Wei, a lowly official, pays homage to Mr. Li. I have offended you so much because of my lowly position. Please forgive me, Mr. Li."

what?

Master Li.

Those who were behind him were vigilant about their surroundings, and those who were about to fight were shocked when they saw President Cui actually kneel down to pay respects to this person, although they looked at the rich man in shock.

This person is actually an official of the imperial court, and his rank is higher than Chief Cui, so he wants to kneel down to salute.

"official?"

The lame old man also turned pale with fright and shivered.

What he was afraid of was not Li Xiuyuan's status as an official, but that such a well-behaved person actually became an official, which is terrible.

With such ability, and being an official appointed by the court, this kind of person must have a big plan. He bumped into it and influenced other people's plans. Wouldn't it be easy to kill him, a small captor, with just a few charges?

"I came to Beijing to report on my work this time. I didn't want to cause trouble. It's just that some things have come to me and I have to deal with them. From today onwards, I hope that you six sects don't care about what I do in the capital. Of course, if you want to care about me I don't mind, it's a good thing for you to be loyal to the imperial court, but there are some things that you six doors can't control, and rushing in rashly will only cost your own life."

Li Xiuyuan walked over to take the imperial decree, waved his hand and said: "That's all, you all stand down."

"Thank you for reminding me, my humble post."

There was cold sweat on Cui Wei's forehead, he hugged his fist, and immediately led the people with a respectful look, and left with the wounded as if fleeing.

Chapter 639 Stealing the Lotus

In the middle of the night, there were very few people on the streets of the capital.

Chief Cui led a group of people under his command and left the bodyguard in a hurry, the cold sweat on his forehead didn't even dry up.

"My lord, who is that Li Xiuyuan? What is his official position? You are so frightened by him. Judging from his young appearance, he is at most a county magistrate, and what is more, he is a magistrate." A subordinate next to him asked.

Cui Wei said in a low voice: "This person is Li Xiuyuan, the guerrilla general in the south. You should all know about the rebellion of the King of Nine Mountains last year. He was the one who defeated him. However, Li Liangjin, the king of Zhan Jiushan, defeated an army of 10,000+ in one day, and never recovered from it until he was finally annihilated."

"And this is just the news from the imperial court. According to the news from the Six Gates, there are several thousand-year-old monsters plotting Li Liangjin's rebellion, Wang Ze from the Maitreya Sect, Hua Gu from the White Lotus Sect, the great thief Shihu, and the water thief Mr. Chen." , these thieves are very human, and they were formed by the transformation of a great monster, but after that battle, the king was killed on the spot, and the White Lotus Sect disappeared. I heard that they were finally wiped out by Li Xiuyuan's army. The big thief Shihu heard that he fled to the north, but the water thief Mr. Chen disappeared."

"It's not terrible that Li Xiuyuan wiped out the rebellion. What's terrible is that the monster who has plagued the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years was wiped out by his own power."

"This time the officials recruited him to report on his work in Beijing. On the surface, we don't know if there is any big plan behind the report. This is not something we can guess, nor can we get involved. If things go wrong, we can't afford it."

The lame old man was startled when he heard the words: "The lotus essence is the demon of Wutong Sect. This time Master Li captured the lotus essence and made a lot of noise about it. Could it be that he is going to attack Wutong Sect?"

"The lotus essence is just a bait, and its purpose is the five great immortals of the Wutong Sect?"

"Hush, walls have ears, don't talk about this anymore." Cui Wei hissed, and looked around vigilantly, not daring to reveal what he speculated.

The capital has been suffering from ghosts and spirits for a long time.

If this Li Xiuyuan really came to the capital by the emperor's order, then it is very likely that he wanted to attack these ghosts and monsters in the capital.
