Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Chapter 620 Living towards death

Song Mo understood clearly that Xie Zhan was the auxiliary star.

Strong minister...

He himself had the intention of reusing Xie Zhan to control Pingzhou.

Xie Zhan, don’t let me down.

"Taoist Master Kurong, your sect has a deep connection with our Song family. Can't you really give me some advice?"

Taoist Master Ku Rong swept away the whisk in his hand and saluted, "Blessings are immeasurable, Heavenly Lord." After saying this, he remained silent.

"In that case, the Taoist Priest will stay in the palace first."

After Song Mo drove away, the boy shouted, "Master——" Could they not leave?

The old Taoist just smiled at him.

……

At this time in Pingzhou, Xue Xu, Guo Chong and Dong Jichuan were sitting in the pavilion, enjoying the gentle night breeze, listening to the sound of frogs and making tea.

Xue Xu frowned slightly, "Master Kurong has entered Chang'an to meet Song Mo." This news was received during the day, and the governor didn't take it seriously.

At this moment, Xue Xu and Guo Chong looked at Dong Jichuan. They both knew that Dong Jichuan knew a little about physiognomy.

The two of them didn't understand the secret, but they were really worried that Song Mo would use this to harm the governor. No wonder they were so worried. They could guess with their knees what Song Mo was worried about at this time.

Now he is trying every possible means to find Taoist Master Kurong, just in case...

Dong Jichuan was relatively calm, "Taoist Master Ku Rong is great at stargazing and physiognomy. But the governor's destiny cannot be calculated by ordinary people."

"Taoist Master Ku Rong is not an ordinary person."

"Don't worry, there are taboos for people outside the country to act and they can't do whatever they want."

"for example?"

"There are three things they don't count: they don't count themselves, they don't count the dead, and they don't count their colleagues. In addition, there are two other things they don't talk about."

"What do you mean?"

"Even if Song Mo asked Taoist Master Kurong for advice, Kurong would not be able to say too much. As the saying goes, secrets cannot be revealed. Telling everything you know and telling everything is impossible. Otherwise, you will commit evil deeds. Haunted.”

"If Song Mo asks about the governor, he won't say much."

"Why is this?"

"The other way around is not to talk about things that have too great an impact."

"How do you say it?" Guo Chong asked with interest.

Dong Jichuan explained, “For an outsider like Taoist Master Kurong, if the person who comes to ask for help is an ordinary person, and Taoist Master Kurong saves him or helps him avoid a disaster, the impact on him will be limited. But if that person’s life and death is too involved and the impact is too great, then people from outside the country cannot interfere at will, otherwise they are likely to be punished by God.”

Song Mo is the emperor, and the governor is a quasi-emperor. If Taoist Master Ku Rong decides for both of them at the same time, if he talks too much, his fate may have to be decided in Chang'an.

Xue Xu and Guo Chong: Got it.

"Then we can rest assured."

……

The conversation between Song Mo and Taoist Master Kurong was secret, but the governor's office was not included in this.

The Governor's Office soon learned of the conversation between the emperor and Taoist Master Kurong.

"Congratulations to the great governor, congratulations to the great governor." With the words of Master Kurong, I believe the emperor will have more faith in the great governor.

Xie Zhan accepted the congratulations from his subordinates, but he was noncommittal in his heart. He would continue to walk on the road he wanted to take, no matter whether it was difficult or easy.

Only then did the subordinates realize that the Governor was not very happy, and many of them were a little confused.

Fan Yang waved his hand to ask them to leave and then said, "Does the Grand Governor mind Master Kurong's attitude?"

Xie Zhan nodded.

Both of them are smart people. The fact that Taoist Kurong kept silent and avoided answering the emperor's three questions spoke for itself. The more taboos are avoided, the bigger the problem becomes.

Fan Yang: "You can't say your destiny with certainty. Otherwise, how can you change your destiny against the will of heaven?"

Xie Zhan nodded in agreement. Indeed, if everything was destined, then they would not need to fight.

……

On the third day after being left in the palace, Master Kurong suddenly said to his youngest disciple, "I sensed that my destiny was coming. After I became a disciple, they will not make things difficult for you. When you leave the palace and leave Chang'an, Let’s go to Pingzhou.”

Twenty years ago, when his master became an immortal, he gave him a fate, saying that he was destined to suffer a disaster.

When he asked how to deal with it, the master only left him four words: live towards death.

He has been searching for the Tao all his life but could not find its solution. Only now, when he is seventy-six, has he finally realized that if he wants to achieve perfection, he must live towards death.

There are some words that he must take underground, which can be regarded as a small thing he has done for the common people.

"Master, why is this?"

The boy didn't understand. Since he had already expected such a result, why did the master come to Chang'an?

"It was the reason that my great-uncle enlightened Emperor Taizong back then. In today's era of great strife, I keep silent about what is coming, and that is the result." What he said to the emperor before was indeed what he wanted to say.

"Master..." The boy had tears in his eyes.

The old man waved his hand and let him go out.

In the early morning, when the boy pushed the door open, he found that his master had left with a smile on his face.

Song Mo was very unhappy, and his face was so gloomy that water dripped from his face. What does Ku Rong's nose mean? If he died sooner or later, if he died after only three days in the palace, wouldn't this make him, the emperor, criticized?

Xie Zhan's face was also heavy.

Later, Song Mo asked Taichang Temple to bury Taoist Master Kurong.

Zhuozhou

With the appointment of Zhuozhou County Sheriff in mind, Zhao Minglou entered through the city gate with his subordinates. Along the way, the changes in Zhuozhou were shocking.

"Sir, is it true that every household in Zhuozhou raises donkeys?" Changsui was surprised. When these people met, they couldn't talk about the donkeys at home.

Zhao Minglou nodded heavily. This was not a good sign. His sister-in-law was right. The situation in Zhuozhou was not optimistic. He had a long way to go.

When they arrived at the Zhuozhou County Sheriff's Mansion, Jiang Boya was already waiting at the gate to greet them.

Later, Jiang Boya introduced Zhao Minglou to the officials currently serving in Zhuozhou.

Kong Huai died in the line of duty, and the court must express his gratitude. Therefore, after Song Mo issued an edict to commend him, he also promoted Kong Huai's younger brother Kong Tan to Zhuozhou Commandery.

Jiang Boya explained to Kong Tan at that time that Zhuozhou had become the target of Pingzhou's plan, and there was a tough battle to be fought next.

If this is not the case, it is okay to let him take over the position of county governor from his brother. Now he can only be temporarily relegated to the position of county magistrate. There is another capable person in the position of county governor.

Kong Tan had no objection. He knew how much he weighed.

At this time, Kong Tan looked at Zhao Minglou curiously. Is this new Zhuozhou group guard the capable person that Mr. Jiang said?

"Mr. Jiang, tell me about the current situation in Zhuozhou?" Zhao Minglou said to Jiang Boya.

Zhuozhou was his first stop as an official after returning to Chang'an. He was the eldest son of the Zhao family, so this step was crucial.

Although his brother-in-law is the Governor of Xie Zhan, his sister is no longer the only woman in Xie Zhan's house. He is about to take a concubine, and the concubine's family background is not bad. Who knows after this...

In fact, as both men, he understands his brother-in-law very well, and he does not blame him. He can be said to be extremely benevolent and righteous to the Zhao family. The Zhao family also has to work hard to stand up.

Pingzhou

The news of Zhao Minglou's arrival was immediately presented to Lu Songli's desk.

The plan for Zhuozhou is already being implemented, and every step they take is to make donkeys a pillar industry in Zhuozhou...

Lu Songli arranged for people to follow up on these matters.

According to the information they collected, every household in Zhuozhou now raises donkeys. In addition, donkey-related industrial workshops are constantly popping up, replacing the previous unprofitable workshops, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

During this period, Lu Songli was not so busy. Not only did she take time to visit Mrs. Sun, she also took time to attend two weddings, Qin Heng's and Lu Mingzhi's.

Lu Mingzhi married and Qin Heng married again.

Their marriages were managed by Lu Songli's mother-in-law Jiang and mother-in-law Gu respectively.

In the words of Mr. Lu Deshenglu, the spring plowing is over, and everyone can take a break from the busy work and take time to have a baby. The Qin and Lu families took the lead and showed everyone an example.

In the study, Lu Songli was deep in thought.

Then the door was opened and Qin Sheng strode towards her, "Lili, Xie Zhan is taking a concubine!"

"Well, I heard about it."

"There are more than one accepted."

Of course Lu Songli knew that Xie Zhan took two concubines at once, one was Lu Fei, the head of the Lu clan in the south, and the other was the daughter of Xiao Qun, the Taiwei of the dynasty. Now his backyard is complete with civil, military and business affairs, which can be called a tripartite pillar.

With his beaming expression, Lu Songli seemed to see the villain deep in his heart giggling.

"Are you so happy that he took a concubine?"

"hey-hey."

"Do you also want to take a concubine?" Things were going well in Zhuozhou. Lu Songli was in a good mood and couldn't help teasing him.

Hearing this, Qin Sheng's eyes showed fear, "Lili, don't scare me."

He just wanted to tell Li Li that Xie Zhan was only interested in him.

Seeing that his head was shaking like a rattle, full of desire for survival, Lu Songli decided not to tease him anymore, "Okay, I was just teasing you."

Qin Shengxin said, he is serious! He automatically changed the tone of his wife's words.

Qin Sheng knew very well that if he dared to take a concubine, Lili would kill him first and then the concubine. Don't ask him how he knew, it was intuition.
