Realizing This Is Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years
Chapter 40
Disaster Victims

"Regency Master, I received a report from the commoners that two suspicious women were asking about you in town." Zhao Guang lowered his head and reported to Cui Heng respectfully.
“What is their background?” Cui Heng put the martial arts book in his hand and asked, “Are they spies from King Yan's army?”
"The most liked. These two women are very concerned about the recent changes in Juhe County, ” Zhao Guang said. “But we won't know for sure until Hui Shi investigates it.”
"Good." Cui Heng slightly nodded and smiled. “Actually, no need to be too nervous. It's just some rebels. Perhaps the two of them had just heard rumors about Juhe County and wanted to know why there was such a huge change.
Some of the rebels.It was King Yan who had hundreds of thousands of troops. Just the vanguard troops that Yan Sheng mentioned earlier numbered in the tens of thousands!
Zhao Guang did not know how to answer.
Although Cui Heng was already an Immortal in his heart, he had never heard of an Immortal who could defeat hundreds of thousands of troops.
However, Cui Heng clearly looked confident, so he did not dare to say anything more.
At that moment, Hui Shi walked in.
"Regency Master, we have discovered the identities of the two suspicious women," Monk Huishi said respectfully. “Both of them were Elder Xu Bailu's disciples from Yuhua Sword Pavilion.
“A slightly older woman named Fang Min, and a younger one named Zhou Caiwei. I saw them six years ago at the Martial Arts Alliance in Green Cliffs Mountain.”
"Yuhua Sword Pavilion?" Zhao Guang was shocked. “It was the number one sect in Lu County, and also the strongest sword sect in Fengzhou.”
“Yes, the Yuhua Sword Pavilion is one of the Nine Swords of the World. Their legacy has been passed down for a thousand years and they have a deep foundation.” Monk Hui Shi nodded and said, “Xu Bailu was already a Grandmaster in the Profound Gate realm six years ago. He was very strong and hated war.
“When I was in King Yan's army, I heard Yan Sheng and the other generals repeatedly preach that Yuhua Sword Pavilion was the number one barrier to occupying Fengzhou. This Fang Min and Zhou Caiwei might have come under their master's orders to help Juhe County fight the war.
"Refuse the war disaster?" Zhao Guang was quite surprised and asked curiously, “How could they refuse him? That's an army of hundreds of thousands. Even if their master comes, it will not help.”
“This is nothing more than negotiating with chip.” Monk Hui Shi knew a lot about the way the martial arts sect behaved. He explained, “For the Yuhua Sword Pavilion to be ranked as one of the Nine Swords of the World, that means there must be top martial artists in the sect who have been cultivating into the Inner World.
“Although the top experts were still no match for hundreds of thousands of troops, and they might not be able to kill King Yan under the protection of the Lotus Flower Monastery and the Monastery of Great Prosperity, either, they can still attack King Yan's backyard and force them back to save their headquarters.”
“With this as a bargaining tool, it is indeed possible for King Yan to release Juhe.” County Zhao Guang became excited when he heard this and said to Cui Heng, “Congratulations, Region Master. Juhe County can avoid war.”
"This is a good thing." Cui Heng smiled and did not comment further.
The location of Juhe County is very important. It was related to the military plan of the incoming army of King Yan. It would not be easy for them to let go of Juhe County.
Moreover, Yan Sheng had seen him attack before. If King Yan's forces were still coming to attack Juhe County, they would definitely be preparing for safety behind.
“...” Monk Huishi cannot help but roll his eyes and remind him, “Minister Zhao, with the County Ruler around, Juhe County will definitely be safe.”
He had seen how powerful Cui Heng was.
It was a great god that completely surpassed all the techniques in the human world!
Not to mention the others, that little fireball alone was enough to tear down King Yan's army.
"Regency Master, please forgive me!" Zhao Guang realized that something was wrong with his words and quickly bowed and apologized.
“No problem. You only think of Juhe County." Cui Heng waved his hand, not caring about this. He smiled and said, "If you can be sure that both of them come with good intentions, arrange for someone to comfort them."
"Yes, Mr. County!" Monk Hui Shi bowed.
"Yes, Mr. County!" Zhao Guang immediately agreed.
In fact, it was natural for him not to know how powerful Cui Heng was.
Although he had robbed the tomb for many years and had practiced some martial arts, he had only reached the level of Internal Maintenance. He had not even cultivated to Qi Sensing yet, so he naturally had an instinctive fear of hundreds of thousands of troops.
Moreover, he had never seen Cui Heng light a fire.
Fang Min was very surprised right now.
He had not expected the county office to come knocking on his door after only half a day of wondering.
He clearly asked for someone and gave him five taels of silver and ordered him not to make a fuss.
Five taels of silver was not a small amount. That was the income of most ordinary farmers for half a year.
However, he did not feel the slightest bit of displeasure.
Receiving money but still reporting it to the government means that people here trust the government a lot. Otherwise, they wouldn't have done something like that.
This proved that the information he had obtained earlier was indeed correct.
The new county magistrate in Juhe County was very popular, and he also worked for the good of Juhe County. It should have been easier to cooperate with such a county magistrate to fight against a military disaster.
But then something more unexpected happened.
The identities of her and her sister have been revealed.
The chief police officer who took them immediately called out their names.
“The track is steady and the aura is deep. The martial cultivation of this fellow was incredible. Perhaps he had already reached the Qi.” Condensation Realm
Fang Min judged Monk Hui Shi, who was disguised as the police chief. He was very surprised. "Such an expert is actually the police chief in the small Juhe County?"
He was well aware that Juhe County was clearly not simple. The new county magistrate in Juhe County was also unusual. This makes him feel confused.
The feeling came from an unknown uncertainty.
Fang Min looked at Zhou Caiwei beside him and realized that this girl was focusing on eating haw sweets. He still looked carefree, so he could only sigh.
Fortunately, this girl was extremely talented and possessed outstanding martial arts skills. Otherwise, he would have been fooled many times by that puzzled look.
"Officer, are we going to see the county magistrate?" Fang Min asked hesitantly.
"No." Monk Huishi's attitude was extremely cold as he said nonchalantly, “The judges of the area are busy and have no time to accept the two of you today. However, Minister Zhao has found a place for you as a temporary residence. District judge will receive you tomorrow.”
Cui Heng really did not have the time. After obtaining the martial arts manual that Hui Shi had copied, he became obsessed with learning the use of Dharma power.
In the past few days, he had developed many new and powerful techniques.
He might not be finished until tomorrow.
“Thank you, Officer. Since the district magistrate is busy, we can wait.” Fang Min nodded.
Although he wanted to see the county magistrate as quickly as possible, he understood better. The best way to work with someone is to follow their rules.
"Captain, Captain!"
At this moment, there was an urgent cry from behind. A policeman ran, gasping.
"What's that?" Hui Shi asked with a frown.
“Brothers at the city gate just sent a message. They said, saying..” The police took a deep breath and said, “They said that a large number of refugees have fled here. I'm afraid there are three or four thousand of them!”
“There are good harvests everywhere this year. Where did the three or four thousand refugees come from?” Hui Shi's brows rose in confusion.
“That's people from Dachang County in the West!” The police expression became a little frightened. “Captain, do you think King Yan's forces have occupied Dachang County? And we will be the next target!”
"Shut up!" Hui Shi glared at her and said to the police beside her, “You two, take these two girls to the residence arranged by Minister Zhao. The two of you, go and report the situation to Vice Lu County.
Then, he said to the police who came to report, “Let's go. Take me to the city gate to see it.”
