Nine Turns of Nirvana

Wuyang County City, the County Governor's Mansion.

Guo Sixiang was woken up from his concubine's room in Xina early in the morning by his subordinates. The reason was that a messenger from Qianwu City came to the mansion to deliver a message, saying that Lin Youlong, the commander of the Forbidden Army, was leading a magic armor regiment and was about to arrive. Wuyang County needs to take a road from Wuyang County City and take the waterway here. I hope that he, the county governor, can do a good job in reception and coordination.

Guo Sixiang was in a rather gloomy mood. Firstly, it was because he was disturbed from his clear dream. Secondly, the order came too suddenly. The Magic Armor Corps wanted to use the passage to cross the border, but the other party suddenly came to notify him right before his nose. , he couldn't help but rush around in a hurry, cursing secretly in his heart.

Especially since he already knew what happened recently in the Lujiang County next door. The Xiang family wanted to deal with the Lu family, but unexpectedly they fell short. Not only was his son captured, but even the best swordsman in Kyoto, Gu Sian, was defeated. sand.

This magic armor regiment was obviously photographed by the third prince to put out the fire of the Xiang family, but Guo Sixiang himself did not belong to the third prince's group. This matter originally had nothing to do with him at all, but he did not expect that the matter now turned out to be... Suddenly he came to the door, so Guo Si was even more dissatisfied.

But even though he was full of complaints, he still had to comply. Who said that he was still a nominal subordinate of the Dawu Dynasty? The other party came with the exclusive seal of the royal family. If he refused, it would be equivalent to handing his pigtails into the other party's hands.

Guo Sixiang sent people to the city to clean up the venue, and at the same time he was preparing various matters for the reception. On the other hand, he also had to recruit ships. People came and went in the governor's mansion early in the morning, and it was very busy.

"Lord Sheriff, our spies have returned an urgent report..."

Suddenly, a subordinate hurried into the mansion and said in front of Guo Sixiang in a panic.

Guo Sixiang raised his head and glanced at the subordinate, and found that it was Li Chunwang who was in charge of the Intelligence Department. He couldn't help asking: "But Lin Dutong's magic armor regiment was discovered? Where are they now?"

Li Chunwang shook his head, his voice a bit harsh: "It's not Lin Dutong's side, but something big happened in Lujiang County next door..."

"Lujiang County?"

Guo Sixiang frowned slightly: "What big thing happened over there?"

"The Xiang family, who holds the position of Lujiang County Governor, was preparing to go to war with the Lu family. Unexpectedly, they were suddenly betrayed by many families in the city, such as the Ye family, the Huang family, and the Li family. Now Lujiang City has completely changed hands, and the Xiang family Even more so! The head of the Xiang family, Xiang Lijian, has also died!"

"What? Xiang Lijian is dead?"

Guo Sixiang was immediately shocked: "The Ye family... defected before the battle? They are so bold!"

Li Chunwang said: "My subordinates have confirmed this news, there is absolutely no problem..."

"No wonder!"

Guo Sixiang exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"I wonder why Lin Youlong didn't let any news out before, but now he is eager to say that he wants to use our Wuyang County. It turns out that this is what happened! It was probably when the Xiang family was attacked by a sneak attack, he immediately issued a warning to them. They asked for help, so they decided to temporarily change their route and take a more convenient waterway... But they didn't expect that it was still a step too late! "

Li Chunwang agreed with Guo Sixiang's inference. He hesitated and asked: "Sir, do you think we need to notify

"What are you doing to help Lujiang County?"

Guo Sixiang glared and snorted dissatisfied.

"This is an internal matter of Lujiang County. What does it have to do with our Wuyang County? Besides, His Highness the Third Prince is a talented person and has great plans. Since he is already taking care of this matter, we don't have to go over and cause trouble!"

"in addition……"

A cunning look suddenly flashed in Guo Sixiang's eyes.

"You report this matter to the county prince's palace, and then go and investigate the situation in Songshan. Has a group of bandits appeared there recently? Please find out their specific whereabouts for me!"

Li Chunwang couldn't help being stunned, and informed Prince Wuyang that he could understand. Prince Wuyang had always supported the seventh prince. If Prince Wuyang knew about this, then the seventh prince would also know...

But what does it mean to investigate the whereabouts of a robber? Could it be that at this juncture, the Sheriff still has the heart to suppress the bandits?

Guo Sixiang didn't explain much, just an unpredictable smile on his face.

Li Chunwang had no choice but to make arrangements with full of questions.

It wasn't until soon after, when Lin Youlong led his magic armor regiment to Wuyang City, that he finally understood the purpose of Guo Sixiang's move...

Because Lin Youlong just got off his horse, the first thing he said was: "Guo County Governor, there is a serious rebellion in Lujiang City, and this matter must be punished severely! In order to prevent the situation from collapsing and further affecting Wuyang County under your rule, please clean up the troops immediately , come with me to Lujiang County to put down the rebellion!"

However, Guo Sixiang replied: "Such an incident in Lujiang County is really worrying. I will quickly calm down the situation there as soon as possible to prevent the people from suffering more unnecessary disasters. However, in our Songshan area of ​​Wuyang County, a serious incident has occurred. If the banditry in the area is not quelled as soon as possible, I am afraid it will turn into chaos on the Lujiang River... I also want to help Lin Du unite, but I am really unable to do so..."

Li Chunwang was stunned when he heard this. The reason why Guo Sixiang asked him to investigate the bandits in Songshan was actually to refuse Lin Dutong's recruitment here.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel deeply impressed by Guo Sixiang's planning and calculation. No wonder he could become the county governor while he was just a small subordinate.

Lin Youlong was not satisfied with this answer, and his eyes became malicious.

"Bandit trouble? Is it real or fake? This bandit trouble comes at just the right time, right?"

Guo Si waved to Li Chunwang: "Director Li, you immediately submitted the information about the banditry in Songshan. Please take a look at it."

Li Chunwang quickly took out the espionage document he had prepared in advance, and was about to give it to Lin Youlong to read, but Lin Youlong waved his hand and shouted him away.

"Don't look anymore! Even if it's true, so what? It's just a bandit trouble. As a dignified county guard, can't Mr. Guo not even know what's serious and what's serious?"

Guo Si said without changing his expression: "It is precisely because Guo is the governor of Wuyang County and as a parent that he understands the importance of being responsible for protecting the land. For the happiness and stability of the tens of millions of people in Wuyang County, nothing can paralyze him. main idea!"

Lin Youlong sneered and said: "What a 'parent, it is the responsibility of guarding the land'! Mr. Guo is really a competent county governor!"

Guo Sixiang ignored the other party's sarcasm and said: "Lin Dutong has been praised too much. It is useless to talk more. If you want me to send troops to Lujiang County, unless there is a formal transfer order from the Ministry of War, I still have to put the stability of this county first!"

Lin Youlong glared and said: "If the matter is urgent, you will send troops with me first, and the Ministry of War's transfer orders will soon supply you!"

Prime Minister Guo Si was indifferent: "Without orders from the Ministry of War, we cannot send troops!"

Lin Youlong was very angry: "I think you don't want the position of county governor anymore. Do you know that you are going against the third prince by doing this!"

Guo Sixiang said: "I am also dedicated to the imperial court. His Highness the Third Prince will definitely understand my painstaking efforts!"

"You... are simply unreasonable!"

…

No matter how much pressure Lin Youlong exerted, Guo Sixiang could not make progress.

A group of people around were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that these two adults would be so tit-for-tat when they met.

Faced with such a situation, everyone around him could only tremble, and no one dared to come forward to persuade him.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and suddenly a voice sounded from the magic armor regiment.

"That's enough! Please calm down for a moment, that's it!"

The voice was not loud, but it seemed to ring in everyone's ears, like thunder on the ground, and there was a majesty without anger in the tone of speaking.

Everyone was stunned and turned around to follow the sound. They saw layers of magic armor puppet soldiers lined up, and a tall man walked out of them.

And beside him was a calm swordsman, who turned out to be Gu Sian, who was honored as the number one swordsman in Kyoto.

The dignified number one swordsman in Kyoto was as well-behaved as a child in front of this majestic man.

As soon as he saw this person, Guo Sixiang's pupils suddenly shrank.

Isn't this figure none other than Gao Zhengbang, the Martial Saint Grandmaster who is in charge of the imperial city?
