Chapter 204 Requirements(1/2)
After entering the city, Du Yong found that the atmosphere in the city was indeed very different from before.
In the past, every street was very lively, with people either busy, laughing, scolding, playing, shopping, or chatting nonsense, full of the atmosphere of life.
Now Du Yong feels solemnly, that is, when people walk on the road, they always subconsciously look around, as if they will encounter crazy men making trouble at any time. There are a lot more patrols on the street, and there is a wave at a distance. When they patrol, their eyes are like fierce wolves.
Since entering the city, Du Yong and Yang Jin have been skeptical, because they are driving a dirty carriage and wearing a rather ragged warrior uniform.
Du Yong was uncomfortable and smiled bitterly: "Oh my God, why is this atmosphere more solemn than Pingzhou City after the war?"
Is Yang Jin an old world or so calm, and said lightly: "How can the capital city be comparable to Pingzhou City? Now Huyun Temple is eager to jump over the wall and incites so many good men and women. I wonder how many people are staring at it. I guess the Fire Wolf Gang and the Poison Scorpion Gang must be laughing at this moment. The Holy Dan Sect and the Soul Destroying Sect should be similar."
This is true.
Such a big event happened in the capital, so I definitely don’t have more energy to pay attention to the affairs in Pingzhou.
Although the Fire Wolf Gang suffered heavy losses in Pingzhou City, it also showed its domineering spirit and took advantage of this period of time to manage it well. After the imperial court stabilized the capital, the Fire Wolf Gang's roots might have penetrated deeply into Pingzhou, and they could make more noises in the future.
Thinking of this, Du Yong couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Yang Jin said curiously: "What?"
Du Yong explained: "I'm thinking, if the Huolang Gang transfers to Pingzhou in full, it will probably be difficult for us to kill Zhou Yan in the future. Because I suddenly had a premonition, Pingzhou will soon fall into chaos and will be in chaos for a long time."
Yang Jin said in a deep voice: "You don't need to have a premonition. From the moment when the Fire Wolf Gang and the Holy Dan Gate decided to enter Pingzhou, the entire Pingzhou would inevitably fall into chaos. Zhou Yan must be killed, but there is no need to rush for a moment. If Zhou Yan also goes to Pingzhou in the future, we can ask Mr. Hu and Uncle Ze to help."
"Yes!"
Du Yong slapped his forehead and said with relief: "I almost forgot those two powerful allies. But we'd better not mention the matter of Zhangjiazhuang in front of outsiders, so as not to be implicated by me again."
Just by listening to Du Yong's tone, Yang Jin knew that he was still guilty about Zhang Yi's family and comforted him: "Don't think too much, because no matter how you think, you can't let the dead resurrection. Now, only by cheering up can you carry Zhou Yan's hands to worship in the future."
Du Yong nodded slightly, put aside his distractions: "Go to Dali Temple first?"
Yang Jin agreed: "Yes, send the zombies over and ask for your credit."
Du Yong didn't care about the credit and chuckled, "Who can still lose my credit? It's an extraordinary time, so it's not good to worry about credit, right?"
Yang Jin said in a deep voice: "No matter whether it is an extraordinary period or not, you have to care about the matter of credit. Never be too arrogant, as your boss will not like it or even hate you."
Du Yong always humbly accepted Yang Jin's suggestions.
After arriving at Dali Temple, it was very deserted and the guards had basically gone out.
However, Master Nie is still there. After seeing Du Yong, a rare smile appeared on his face, which had always been cold: "Are you finally willing to come back?"
Du Yong had long been used to Nie Zhubo's poker face, so he was a little flattered at this time and pretended to shout: "Mr. Nie, I am not willing to come back, because Pingzhou is in chaos. If it weren't for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, he might have died in a foreign land."
Master Nie laughed and poured Du Yong a cup of hot tea: "You boy, you still speak so exaggeratedly, sit down and talk."
Du Yong took the teacup with both hands, sat down, and sighed: "Mr. Nie, this time it's not exaggerating. Let me tell you that a few days ago, the city of Pingzhou had been fighting all night. Not only did countless people die, but most of the city burned, which was a terrible sight."
“Is that serious?”
Master Nie frowned slightly when he heard this, and said lightly: "The capital has also received a letter from Fei Ge from the Pingzhou General Administration, but what he said is not very detailed."
Du Yong explained: "The matter is indeed very complicated. In addition to the Fire Wolf Gang, which was the leader, there are also the Holy Dan Sect who is secretly causing trouble. There are countless people who are taking advantage of the situation. The Cangyue Sect should also be involved. The details of it are impossible to explain clearly in Fei Ge's letter. To be honest, it is rare that the Pingzhou General Administration can be so beautiful and quickly stabilize the position after the war."
Master Nie nodded slightly, his face was not very good-looking. He paused and asked with interest: "You said that, but are you worried that someone in the court will take the opportunity to participate in the Pingzhou General Manager?"
Du Yong sighed: "Where is the turn of a small role like me to worry about the affairs of the state general manager? I just expressed my opinion from the perspective of a party. Lord Nie, is there anyone in the court who wants to take the opportunity to replace the Pingzhou general manager?"
Master Nie nodded: "There is indeed that kind of voice, more than one or two. Many people suggest changing to a stronger general manager to quickly suppress the chaos in Pingzhou so as not to spread."
Du Yong said oh, didn't say anything, and lowered his head to drink tea.
I was silent for a while.
Master Nie waited for Du Yong to finish a cup of tea and asked with a smile: "Have you not gone home yet?"
Du Yong shook his head and explained: "There is a spoil that needs to be handed over. I also want to ask about my credit. If there is a reward, I will take it home and show it."
Master Nie laughed and pointed at Du Yong: "You kid, you were quite sensible before, why are you so petty now? Who would be greedy for your contributions?"
Du Yong had no shame: "I have shed blood for the court and fought for Dali Temple. It is natural to reward me."
"Get it out!"
Master Nie suppressed his hands and comforted him: "Don't worry, after Lord Qu came back, he specially called your name, saying that you are not afraid of danger and entered the forest alone to capture Weishan. This is very important. In the battle of the mountain near the Yazi River, you have also made great efforts and are a model of the supervisor. Just wait for you to come back to receive the award."
"oh?"
Du Yong's eyes lit up and he asked, "What kind of reward is it? It's not a verbal praise? I like affordable things, but money doesn't count, because I don't lack money."
Master Nie chuckled and said, "How about you tell me yourself? I will do it on the spot if I can. If I can't, I will go to Lord Qu and ask him to do it for you in person."
Du Yong raised his eyebrows: "Can you really mention it yourself?"
Master Nie was not angry: "I can still lie to you when I say this?"
Du Yong thought for a while and laughed: "Mr. Nie, I want to visit the warehouse of Shaofu Temple."
"What did you say?"
Master Nie seemed to be a cat with a trampled tail, with an old face bitter: "Young Master Du, oh no, can I call you Mr. Du? Don't you know where is Shaofu Temple? You are still walking around, do you think you are walking around the street?"
Du Yong murmured, "Isn't it just a royal warehouse? I have collected so many good things every year, so I will definitely not use them all. It's nothing to take out a few rewards for those who have made meritorious ones, right?"
Master Nie said helplessly: "What do you want?"
Seeing that there was hope, Du Yong quickly said, "I know the right amount and I will definitely not covet such a rare thing. I just want to find a better light skills to play with. My light skills are really not very good, especially when I jumped, I have to chase a little gangster for a long time. After I learned good light skills, I can do my best for the court, right?"
Seeing that Du Yong's request was not particularly outrageous and his words were quite organized, Lord Nie thought about it: "This will take some time. I have no face in Shaofu Temple and I need Lord Qu to communicate."
Du Yong was overjoyed and laughed: "If I'm embarrassed, I can change it."
Master Nie waved his hand and said it was okay, and suddenly asked: "You just said, are there any combat powers? What is it?"
Du Yong came to his senses and shouted outside: "Brother Yang!"
Yang, who was waiting outside, came to the door, first saluted Master Nie, and then asked Du Yong: "Young Master, what's the matter?"
Du Yong said lightly: "Take our spoils over and give them to Lord Nie to see."
Yang Jin nodded, went to the carriage to lift the lord zombie, carried it on his shoulder, walked into the house, and placed it carefully on the ground.
The zombies were wrapped in sacks tightly, which looked quite mysterious and a little scary.
Master Nie frowned: "What? Is this a corpse?"
Du Yong laughed and said, "That's right."
Master Nie sniffed: "There is no bloody smell. Who is worth bringing you back from Pingzhou?"
Du Yong did not keep it in a silence: "Mr. Nie, the reason why there is no bloody smell is because this is a zombie or the lord zombie is here."
"Lord zombie?"
Master Nie's eyes were shiny and he was confused.
Du Yong roughly explained: "Master Nie may not know that there are three types of zombies: ordinary zombies, elite zombies, and lord zombies. The lord zombies are transformed by martial artists who climb the tower realm. They have much higher strength than ordinary martial artists who climb the tower realm, but are lower than those who destroy the Jin Dynasty."
Master Nie said, "When Lord Qu was fighting zombies in Chuanming County, he was once stuck by a very powerful zombie. He should be the lord zombie, right?"
Du Yong nodded: "It's true."
Master Nie pointed to the ground: "Since he is a lord zombie, how did you do it?"
Du Yong laughed and said, "Of course it was not done by force, but by tricks. The details are hard to describe, but he is indeed a lord zombie. I will take him back and maybe I can study something useful."
Master Nie slapped his thigh: "Of course it's useful, I'm worried that I can't do this."
Du Yong nodded: "It's good that it's useful, it's not worth my hard work."
"What a hard time?" A very majestic male voice suddenly came from outside, it was Qu Yixiong.
Du Yong quickly turned around, stood with Yang Jin, bowed and greeted: "Mr. Qu!"
Qu Yixiong suppressed his hands: "No need to be too polite!"
Then he looked up and down at Du Yong for a good time, and found that Du Yong was in good spirits. He chuckled and said, "It's good to come back. If you don't come back, I don't know how to explain to Du Shaobao."
Du Yong said gratefully: "Thank you Lord Qu for your concern!"
Qu Yixiong pointed to the ground: "What's this?"
Master Nie explained a little bit.
After hearing this, Qu Yixiong was overjoyed and patted Du Yong on the shoulder: "Good boy, he has made great contributions again."
Master Nie took the opportunity to speak: "Mr. Qu, this kid is very rude. He just told his subordinates that he wanted to go to Shaofu Temple and said that he wanted to get better light skills. He really didn't know the importance of it."
Qu Yixiong waved his hand: "If it's just a few light skills, it's not a big deal. I have a little friendship with Shaofu Temple, so there should be no problem. I have good light skills, but it's very difficult to learn. I'm afraid you won't learn it."
"Thank you, Lord Qu!"
Du Yong bowed to the end and then said lightly: "I'm not afraid to tell Lord Qu, I like the difficult ones, the harder the better."
"You boy, you're very confident."
Qu Yixiong smiled, paused, and said seriously: "I have something to ask you, you were in the city that night of the battle in Pingzhou City?"
Du Yong nodded: "I'm participating in the whole process. If Lord Qu doesn't mind, give him half a day and there will be a detailed report tomorrow morning, including the battle that night, the forces causing trouble, civilian casualties, and the performance of the Pingzhou General Administration, and so on."
Qu Yixiong was very satisfied with Du Yong's wit: "The morning after tomorrow, you can have a good rest tomorrow!"
