Chapter 171: The Southern Barbarians have a witch, and the power of heaven descends

The flood season of Canglan River is from April to July, and it is divided into big and small flood seasons.

Zhao Xing left Shiyangdongtian at the end of February, crossed the river on March 7, and arrived in Yuncheng after Jingzhe.

After that, he spent another five days to report Shao Wanjie, the scourge, and enjoyed himself in Shao Wanjie's mansion for three days.

The inspection department of the city sent people to deal with Shao Wanjie, and it only took two days from beginning to end.

Xia Jing's group of warriors arrived in Yuncheng on March 16 to take office.

The mechanical division, agriculture division, priest, ritual division, and physician were added in batches, and basically arrived on March 21.

As for the seventh-rank chief officers of each department, they were all filled on March 18.

The list of chief officers of each department is as follows:

Yuncheng County Magistrate ‘Duan Ren’, rank 7-lower

Yuncheng County Lieutenant ‘Xia Jing’, rank 7-lower (temporary)

Yuncheng County Priest ‘Shen Mingyu’, rank 7-lower

Yuncheng Water Commander ‘Zhao Xing’, rank 7-lower (temporary)

Yuncheng Works Commander ‘Wang Ji’, rank 7-lower (temporary)

Yuncheng County Medical Assistant ‘Yuan Yang’, rank 8-up (temporary)

In addition to the chief officers, the above five departments also have many assistant officers of rank 8 and rank 9 who are either replaced or replaced.

Among them, the chief officer of the temple, Shen Mingyu, has not been transferred, so his rank is not temporary.

Duan Ren is not from Shiyang Dongtian either, but was transferred from elsewhere by Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion.

All those who are temporarily appointed are basically reserve officers in Shiyang Dongtian.

From March 16 to March 19, Zhao Xing, Xia Jing, Wang Ji, Yuan Yang and others have been holding banquets. It's not for eating, drinking and having fun, but mainly for recognizing people.

Because there are more than 2,000 officials from various departments sent this time, even if the chief officer is familiar, there are many others who are unfamiliar, so in the past few days, they have been holding meetings under the pretext of eating.

On March 20th, the four chief officers Zhao Xing, Xia Jing, Wang Ji, and Yuan Yang met again, and brought with them the assistant officers of each department, such as Han Bing, Che Shihai, Zhang Jie, Chen Fang, Hu Bing, Zhang Yi, Cao Shuang, etc., all of whom are eighth-rank.

There are fewer people this time, but the leaders of Yuncheng, except Duan Ren and Shen Mingyu, are basically here.

The previous banquets were all held within each department. Now Zhao Xing, Xia Jing, Wang Ji, and Yuan Yang met, and brought with them the assistant officers of the eighth rank, obviously to discuss how to go next.

Zhao Xing planned the content of the meeting in advance, and Zhang Yi, the master of ceremonies, presided over it.

This way of discussion is quite unique, but the people present are basically used to it, because Zhao Xing conducted large-scale exercises in Shiyang Cave Heaven in this way, such as the chief officers' meeting, the assistant officers' expanded meeting, and the main rules of discussion, which are quite efficient.

Zhang Zhong, Jiang Xi, and He Fengnian were also brought here by Zhao Xing. They saw so many chief officers gathered together, and it was Zhang Yi, an eighth-grade priest, who spoke first. They also felt very fresh and immediately pricked up their ears to listen carefully.

"... Everyone in the five departments, the specific tasks of each profession are different, but the general direction is the same."

"The only officials who have the highest number of tasks are those who originally had Class A treatment in Shiyang Cave Heaven. I have 46 here in Yuncheng."

"There are many number of tasks, and the military intelligence is more detailed. I have summarized all this intelligence in the past few days. You can open the first document on the left side of your desk to see if there is anything wrong or missed." After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he returned to his seat and sat down.

According to Zhao Xing's request, the first content of this meeting is to collect intelligence and share the task content of each department.

Warriors, agricultural officials, mechanical engineers, ritual practitioners, and priests must have different task contents.

People are here, but if they can't work together and their task goals are inconsistent, then there is no way to talk about group warmth.

Zhao Xing also took the document to check. Although he had done similar ring tasks in his previous life, it may not be the same this time.

However, after a rough look, he was relieved.

In the third ring task, although the task content of each department's profession is inconsistent, the assessment standards and task directions are all related to war and pacifying the barbarians.

"Brother Xia, Brother Chen... You have to kill thirty eighth-grade barbarian soldiers to pass the third ring with an A-level evaluation?" Zhao Xing first looked at the tasks of Xia Jing and Chen Fang, the A-level geniuses.

"Yes." Xia Jing said, "If you want to get the highest evaluation, the number of aliens in the middle and late stages of the Lingqiao realm among the eight grades cannot be less than 50%."

"We from the Qinglong Division can fight one against a hundred, and killing this number of enemies is actually not difficult." Chen Fang said, "A qualified C-level evaluation is to kill two Lingqiao realms. What do you think is difficult? The main thing is that we are afraid of not being able to kill them."

Zhao Xing nodded.

Yes, it is just war preparation now. Both sides are just training and testing at most. There is no large-scale conflict and there are not so many people to kill. This is the difficulty.

Although Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion is south of Canglan River, this buffer zone is still a long way from the defense areas of the Nanman countries.

If you want to kill the enemy, you either go deep into the enemy territory or rely on luck.

If you are lucky, you don't need to go deep, and you may complete the task quickly. If you are unlucky, you may not encounter them within half a year.

"Our doctors' tasks are a bit more complicated." Yuan Yang said, "For the third round of tasks, the score is based on the casualties of officials and civilians in the battle."

"I must treat the injuries of officials and civilians in Yuncheng caused by the battle. The more casualties in the battle, the lower my score will be."

Cao Shuang also looked at the doctor's tasks and felt confused: "If there is no battle and no one dies, wouldn't you be able to get the highest score just by lying down?"

Yuan Yang said: "The ideal of a doctor is to put medicine on the shelf and let it die, but in fact, this is impossible."

"The barbarians in the south occupy the upper reaches. They will attack Jiutian Yingyuanfu downstream with natural disasters. The diseases brought by natural disasters are very terrible. Even if officials can bear it, the people can't bear it. At that time, I will have a lot of life."

"And you warriors can't help but go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."

Wang Ji touched his shiny forehead: "There are many things to do in Tiangongfang, such as repairing and replacing city defense and siege equipment, and building magic arrays. Alas... The most difficult thing is the work assigned by Sinongjian. Yuncheng has not been repaired for many years. I am afraid that my head will be bald again."

The amount of work of Sinongjian is large. After all, water control is the top priority. Most of the third-ring tasks that Wang Ji brushed out are centered on the water control deployment of Sinongjian.

Zhao Xing smiled and bowed his hands: "I'm sorry, Engineer Wang, I'll ask Yuan Yang to prescribe more hair growth medicine for you next time. If you want to eat something good, just tell me, I'll get it for you!"

"Can you get Engineer Wang a southern barbarian woman?" Hu Bing joked. "Engineer Wang has mentioned this idea before."

"Get lost!" Wang Ji blushed and said, "Why did I say that? You fucking watched Zhang Jie poop before."

"Engineer Wang!" Zhang Jie was anxious. "Why are you talking about this!"

"Hahaha!" The small living room was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"Silence! Everyone has gone off topic!" Zhang Yi slapped the chopping board seriously, "The meeting continues, and the second topic begins."

The first topic is to determine the direction, and everyone's task direction is the same.

The second topic is where to start.

Zhao Xing spoke first, "Yuncheng is close to the Canglan River, and many tributaries flow through it. Water control should be the top priority."

"We must keep the enemy out of the country, so we can't let the southern barbarians steal our hometown."

"Once a natural disaster hits Yuncheng and causes serious damage to Yuncheng, then all your tasks, including mine, will be ruined. Therefore, preventing and controlling Yuncheng is the top priority. Do you agree?"

"Agree." Xia Jing took the lead in expressing his opinion. Zhao Xing's third ring task is to deal with the flood season of the Canglan River and natural disasters. If the Sinong Supervisor is unable to spare his hands, Xia Jing, without the military Sinong, would never dare to enter Fengming Mountain to kill the barbarians.

Without Zhao Xing, the military Sinong, what would they eat? Even if Xia Jing, the county lieutenant, also has the responsibility to protect Yuncheng, he certainly supports it.

"I agree." Yuan Yang also took the lead in expressing his opinion. If the natural disaster cannot be prevented, his third ring mission will also be ruined. After the natural disaster, the epidemic will be everywhere. If Yuncheng is really hit by the natural disaster, he can also pack up and leave.

Wang Ji naturally agreed, because his mission is strongly related to Zhao Xing's mission. Putting Zhao Xing's mission first means putting his mission first.

"I agree." The others also agreed.

Zhang Yi raised his concerns: "I am not the chief officer of the temple, Shen Mingyu is, and Liu Jingwen is not the county magistrate. If he and I join forces with the people below to undermine Shen Mingyu and Duan Ren, this is not in accordance with etiquette and may lower the evaluation."

Everyone's eyes also looked at the young man who sat upright below, wearing a high crown and scholar's clothes.

Liu Jingwen is a courtesy cultivator and a military strategist. He was not very outstanding during training. He was not even treated as a Class B in Shiyang Dongtian, but only a Class C. However, during the last large-scale exercise, he acted with Zhao Xing and Xia Jing. Many people were sent by Li Xiu, but the only acquaintance of the ‘wise general’ was Liu Jingwen.

Zhang Yi entered the Four Saints Academy of the priests at the end of the training.

But the ways of these two people must follow the ‘ritual’. Zhao Xing and Xia Jing can be bold and reckless, but they can’t. If they do something out of the ordinary, the power of their magic will be reduced. If they violate the ritual in their hearts, in serious cases, their cultivation will even regress.

"This is a small problem." Xia Jing said, "Let them leave the government affairs to you two."

"Will they do it?" Liu Jingwen hesitated, "Shen Mingyu is fine, he was negligent in the Shao Wanjie case, he can't do anything in Yuncheng, Duan Ren has just been transferred here to take office."

"I will do it if I say I will." Xia Jing chuckled, "I forgot to tell you, Duan Ren was a clerk in the 241st year of Dingxin, and was promoted to the ninth-rank county magistrate of Huangyan County in the first year of Jingxin. He was not promoted to the rank for the previous five years, but after working in Huangyan County for three more years, he was quickly promoted to the eighth rank and transferred to another place."

Everyone was confused, Xia Jing immediately said:

"Huangyan County is my father's fiefdom."

Everyone: "..."

"Damn it, Brother Xia pretended to be me!" Chen Fang slapped the table.

"Brother Xia, why didn't you tell me earlier that Duan Ren was your vassal?"

"Report, someone is cheating!"

"Brother Xia, you don't want the protector, so you just took him?"

"Great, you've long expected that you'll be a county lieutenant, and if you take a county magistrate, you can quickly grasp the military and political power wherever you go."

"This kid can't stay for long!"

"Brother Xia should be punished by eating a stone of mackerel fruit!"

"Ugh... Zhang Jie, I really want to tear this mouth apart!"

"Oh my god, it's not me who said that, it's Chen Fang who is imitating! You know this kid got full marks in language class."

"Silence!!"

Zhang Yi lifted the table and cast a spell to quiet everyone down.

Zhao Xing couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.

Why did he want to pull Xia Jing into the group? Because the A-level genius can have a similar existence as the protector.

With Xia Jing's background, he has a wider range of choices. If Xia Jing is not the son of the Marquis's mansion, it is impossible to arrange Duan Ren's transfer so well.

My father Xiahou... This sentence has weight wherever he goes in Pinghaizhou!

Just when Zhao Xing was discussing the plan for Yuncheng.

Three thousand miles to the south, somewhere in Fengming Mountains.

The clouds and mists are drifting, and the light shines on a huge stone building complex below.

In the center of the building complex, there is a finely carved huge stone palace. Outside the palace are two statues of human bodies with animal heads and canes, which are solemn and imposing.

The palace is full of heaviness, and next to the palace, there are many animal skin tents. Many strong barbarian soldiers are patrolling with sharp weapons. There are also many strange beasts imprisoned in the camp, and roars are heard one after another.

From time to time, people wearing totem robes and mysterious patterns on their faces shuttled among them, bowing their heads and chanting spells.

Whenever these people passed by, the barbarian warriors on both sides of the road stopped and saluted with great respect.

Because these people were the most honorable "witches" in the tribe.

As the wizards operated, a faint light emanated from their feet, and lush green grass and trees suddenly grew in the barren ground.

Soon, barbarian soldiers came to harvest these grasses and use them as food for the beasts.

One of the young wizards was wearing a black forged robe, a feather-decorated helmet, and a black cloak of the same style as the robe on his back.

He exuded a noble temperament and walked into the megalithic palace in the middle.

When he walked in the passage of the megalithic building, the whole space seemed to be breathing, presenting a wonderful and ancient charm.

After a while, the young wizard came to the interior of the palace. The interior was wide, with only a throne shining with purple light, and a huge figure on the purple throne.

The young wizard saluted respectfully: "Greetings to the God Envoy Cang."

"Zhao Qi." The figure on the purple throne spoke, his voice like a bell. "The God Mountain has ordered that the witches of your 'Hana' tribe are responsible for the heavenly power coming to the area of ​​Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion, and it must be completed within one month."

As soon as the voice fell, the handle of the throne shot out a ray of light, and the purple light condensed into a map, and the shadow of the map passed in front of Zhao Qi's eyes.

"Remember it?"

"Remember it." Zhao Qi looked up and looked at the map carefully, then touched his chest and bowed his head. "The Hana tribe will definitely live up to the order of the God Envoy."

"Swoosh~" The purple figure turned into a stream of light, and together with the throne, flew out of the passage, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Qi quickly copied the map, and then found the Great Zhou version of the Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion map for comparison, and then his eyes fell on a certain place on the map.

"Yuncheng." Zhao Qi muttered silently. "The target area for launching the natural disaster attack is right here."

The second update will be around 12:30.
