The bright light dissipated and everything returned to the same state as before.

Only the lingering sound of Lu Yang's words lingered for a long time.

In the Yingzhou City County Government Office, County Governor Ouyang Jing sat in the high hall, looked at the counselors and subordinates below, and said solemnly: "Everyone, what do you think of what happened just now?

There was a vision coming from the sky, and a man of God issued a warning. Could it be that after four days, there would really be a god coming? "

A man dressed as a general on the left said in a cold voice: "Master Sheriff, General Yi Mo will see that this is just someone pretending to be a ghost. He said that there will be snake disasters in the False Mountains, but who doesn't know that there is no grass on the mountain and it is a stone Mountain.

Not to mention snakes, there are not even mice. How could there be a snake disaster? "

The people standing on his side were basically military generals, and they echoed his words.

The first person on the right is a young scribe in his twenties.

He had slender eyebrows and long eyes, folded his hands in his sleeves, and said disapprovingly: "Xiushan Mountain is the remnant of Shiwan Mountain. Although it is a stone mountain, there are many caves and crevices on the mountain, and many of them are connected.

Even if snakes and rats don’t live in that mountain, there’s no guarantee that snakes and rats won’t come from the Hundred Thousand Mountains through caves and cracks in the ground…”

He was only halfway through speaking when he was interrupted by the leader of the generals.

"Zhou Suining, did you believe the nonsense you just said? With these magical powers and methods, as long as you have the cultivation level of the celestial realm, aren't they easy to come by?

To me, this is a conspiracy, trying to make people in the city panic. If the county guard is asked to bring the people from surrounding villages and towns into the city for resettlement, there is no guarantee that something will get in by then. "

The man had an unruly attitude and looked at the young scribe with great disdain.

"Ding Changshi, it involves the lives of tens of thousands of people. I am only analyzing whether the situation is possible. If it is true, who among you here can bear the responsibility?"

Zhou Suining raised his eyebrows slightly and argued with reason.

"Don't you fart!"

Ding Changshi flicked his left thumb and unsheathed his sword three inches.

The sharp blade is dazzling and full of provocation.

"It's obvious that you were frightened by the vision just now, so you believed in such nonsense! Not to mention that there is absolutely no possibility of snake disaster, even if it is true, all my soldiers are brave.

Even those monsters in southern Xinjiang were killed with heads rolling and blood flowing like rivers. Is it possible that there are still a few long worms left? You're such a weakling, I don't have time to change your diaper! "

His words were met with laughter.

Those who echoed were all generals like him.

The scribes on Zhou Suining's side were all angry but dared not speak.

It was obvious that the two factions were at odds with each other, and the generals clearly overpowered the scholars.

"That's enough! I didn't call you here just to watch your words!"

Ouyang Jing slapped the table, feeling extremely helpless.

Yingzhou City is the center of Yingzhou and is named after it.

It is an important border area, so the military commanders are powerful, and the literati and counselors have always been the target of ridicule.

As the county governor, he could only mediate, but could not completely solve the problem.

Although the defense of Yingzhou City is impregnable and the soldiers are brave and good at fighting, if the people are not united, it will be a disaster sooner or later.

Ouyang Jing thought about it for a while, then looked at Zhou Suining, the leader of the literati, and said in a gentle manner: "Zhou Juncheng, what Ding Changshi just said is not unreasonable.

There are many talented people and extraordinary people in our Jiuzhou continent, and there are many people with great supernatural powers. Although the vision just now was shocking, it was not beyond human power.

Moreover, this city is a choke point. Once it is lost, the consequences will be disastrous. "

What he said was from Ding Changshi's perspective, and his attitude was very gentle, which gave Zhou Suining and other literati face and steps.

"Chief Ouyang, this matter is actually easy to solve."

Zhou Suining was not displeased at all. He just wanted to solve the problem, not to be in the limelight and compete with those generals.

"The message just now said that the snake disaster will break out in four days, and it will affect a hundred miles around Xuwu Mountain. The county guard can send people to investigate now. Is the vision just now limited to Yingzhou City, or will it be general? All the cities within three hundred miles are covered.

Even if a monk who has reached the realm of celestial phenomena can create such visions, the range will be limited and will never reach three hundred miles. The subordinate is willing to take people to Xuwu Mountain to personally check if there is anything unusual. "

Ding Changshi was about to sneer again, but Ouyang Jing gave him a sharp look, and then he reluctantly shut his mouth.

"I am deeply impressed by Zhou Juncheng's proposal. Since you are dedicated to serving the people, I cannot but express my gratitude to you. In this way, I will allocate 300 of my personal guards to your command to protect you to Mount Xuwu." Find out.”

He casually took out a waist card and said to the captain of the Guards in the military generals team next to him: "Lin Tao, when you choose someone yourself, you must put Zhou Juncheng's safety first."

As the captain of Ouyang Jing's personal guard, Lin Tao was his absolute confidant. He didn't need to form cliques with others, so his attitude towards the literati faction was relatively gentle.

Ouyang Jing also had this consideration in sending him to select people, to prevent the military generals from taking the opportunity to do anything.

Everyone took their orders and dispersed quickly. Only Ding Changshi and his die-hard faction were left in the hall.

"Why, you have nothing to do, and you still want this county governor to give you an order?"

Ouyang Jing glared at him again.

Speaking of which, Ding Changshi could sit in this position not because of military merit or ability, but because his eldest sister was the tenth aunt of Xu Da, the governor of Yingzhou, and she was also very favored.

The pillow wind blew a lot, and Ding Junshan was promoted very quickly. From the captain of a small city defense army, he took the position of chief historian in less than five years.

This is an important position under the county guard, specifically responsible for the power of soldiers and horses!

Ouyang Jing was not without worries.

But as long as Xu Da still dotes on the ten aunts, Ding Junshan's position will be unshakable.

Even he, the county guard, would look at that reckless man from time to time.

Ding Junshan didn't know what Ouyang Jing was thinking, so he stood with his head bulging and said rudely: "Sheriff, do you also believe in those stories about ghosts and gods?

Let me tell you, this is Zhou Suining taking advantage of the opportunity to elevate the status of those poor people! Don't fall into their trap! "

Ouyang Jing stared at him coldly: "Whether it is a matter of ghosts or gods, we will find out when Zhou Juncheng finds out the situation and comes back. Is it possible that the county magistrate is a fool and just takes what others say?"

Ding Junshan hit a wall, his eyes flashed with anger, and he quickly suppressed it again.

"What the Sheriff said is that my subordinates are not thinking carefully."

He laughed along with her, found an excuse and left.

It wasn't until he reached the entrance of the government office that Ding Junshan turned his head and looked solemnly at the lobby behind him.

"Damn it, you dare to shame me in public? Wait, we are not done with this!"
