Chapter 1117 What Do You Want?
Being spied on twice in a row made Chu Xiu's vigilance rise to the extreme.
The most important thing is that he didn't find anyone twice.
You must know that Chu Xiu is quite powerful in terms of spiritual perception. He once pushed the Tianzi Wangqi technique to its peak at the cost of burning the soul. Although it is impossible to replicate that state now, it also allows Chu Xiu to obtain more powerful perception.
In the end, he used the Tianzi Wangqi technique to deduce the person who was watching him, but he didn't have the slightest clue, which was a bit scary.
The person who spied on him was definitely stronger than him, at least in terms of mental strength.
After finding no clues, Chu Xiu continued to lead the people on the road, but he kept observing the surroundings all the time, but that peeping gaze never appeared again.
Xu Fengshan, Qin Zhong and the others watched Chu Xiu nervously looking around, they didn't know what was going on, and they didn't dare to ask, thinking that this young master was going crazy again.
Cangwu County is close to the land of the Nanman. It should be said that part of the land of Cangwu County is in the land of the Nanman, surrounded by dense forests.
When Chu Xiu brought people to Cangwu County, the scenes he saw along the way were completely different from those of other counties in the Eastern Region.
Other counties in the Eastern Region, such as Fanglin County, etc., are well-developed, and entering Cangwu County is like entering a state capital surrounded by dense forests. After walking for half a day on the small road, you can see a state capital guarded by a tall city wall.
The Sheriff's Mansion of Cangwu County is in the Cangnan Mansion in its central area. This state mansion looks quite majestic, even more majestic than the Anzhou Mansion of Fanglin County. Chu Xiu can even see the array on the city wall. traces of the law.
The warriors in Cangnan Mansion are also very different from those in Fanglin County. All of them carry a faint evil spirit. It is conceivable that this place is not so peaceful.
After entering the city, Xu Fengshan glanced around, frowned, and wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
Chu Xiu saw his appearance, and said lightly: "Old Xu, what's wrong?"
Although Xu Fengshan was somewhat dissatisfied with Chu Xiu, he was old enough to be unwilling to offend Chu Xiu.
Hearing Chu Xiu's question, he immediately said: "Something is wrong.
Normally, for a state capital like Cangnan Mansion that is directly under the jurisdiction of the county guard, there should be guards at the gate.
As a result, my son, you have also seen that the gate of the city is empty, and you don't know how the guys in the Sheriff's Mansion arranged it.
Even if there is no county guard, how can this huge Cangwu County not even have a person in charge?
As far as I know, normally there are more than a dozen deacons in a county guard's mansion. Even if Cangwu County loses more than half of its people, there can still be two or three left. "
Chu Xiu nodded lightly, didn't say much, but waved his hand, and went straight to the sheriff's mansion.
In the county guard's mansion, there were dozens of warriors sitting sparsely, among them were three people who were in the realm of true fire refining gods.
The three of them were either frowning, or they didn't care, and one of them even squinted his eyes and dozed off.
The frowning one was a middle-aged man. He looked at the other two and said, "Hey, let me tell you, the Sheriff is about to enter the city, right? Shall we go and greet him?"
This middle-aged man is Shen Hui, the deacon of Cangwu County, and a local casual martial artist in Cangwu County. Because he has done a lot of things for Huangtian Pavilion, he joined Huangtian Pavilion.
So the other deacons went back to the headquarters looking for connections, and his biggest connection is in Cangwu County, how to find them?
The man who didn't care was a strong man with dark skin who didn't look like a Central Plains person.
His name is Kecha, and he is a mixed race of human and barbarian. Because he has half of the barbarian blood in his body, he is very popular among the barbarians in the southern barbarians, so the previous generation of county guards relied on him when dealing with the barbarians.
Although the sheriff is dead, even if there are ten more sheriffs, he will be reused, so he doesn't care.
Hearing this, he waved his hands casually and said, "Okay, then go out and greet him, Sun Gancheng, are you going?"
Sun Qiancheng, who was dozing off, had a gloomy face and slender cheeks. Hearing this, he said indifferently: "What's the rush? Shen Hui, the governor just died a few days ago, and you can't wait to cling to your new master?"
A trace of anger appeared on Shen Hui's face, but he didn't dare to say anything.
This Sun Gancheng is the head of the deacons in Cangwu County, and he has stayed in Cangwu County all his life. The situation in this place is complicated, and only he can sort it out.
When the former sheriff came, he was a little dumbfounded when faced with a lot of troublesome things, and it was all up to Sun Qiancheng to solve them.
If it is said that Kecha's role is only aimed at the barbarians, but Sun Gancheng is aimed at the entire Cangwu County.
So everyone else was in a hurry and wanted to transfer away, but Sun Qiancheng had no such intention at all.
In other counties, he is just an ordinary deacon, but in Cangwu County, his role is greater than that of the county guard, and even the county guard is polite to him.
Hearing that the new sheriff is not a strong man in the realm of Tongxuan, but a young man who has just stepped out of the rivers and lakes, this also makes Sun Gancheng look down upon.
Although it is said that the other party is the heir of the ancient venerable, what about the heir of the ancient venerable? In a place like Cangwu County, even if Lu Sanjin came from the Eastern Region, he still had to ask him for advice.
So his attitude will naturally not be like Shen Hui's, who is cautious and eager to invite him to curry favor with his new master.
At this moment, someone outside reported that the new county sheriff had arrived.
Sun Gancheng was surprised and said, "He came so fast? He went straight to the sheriff's mansion as soon as he entered the city? Let's go out and meet him."
Shen Hui kept muttering in the back: "I said go out early, now it's all right, and even let the new county sheriff come to wait for us, maybe he will be blamed."
After hearing this, Sun Qiancheng couldn't help but sneer.
The new county guard is just a fledgling, and I and others are all old people in Cangwu County, and the other party can only rely on me to wait, why bother to put down such a low attitude and make people look down on me?
A group of people walked out, Chu Xiu and others were already waiting in front of the hall.
Although they knew that the new sheriff was the successor of Gu Zun, and they were not too old, but seeing Chu Xiu so young, they were still a little uncomfortable.
"I have seen the Sheriff."
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said lightly: "You don't need to be too polite, I want to ask you one thing, why is there no one guarding the gate of Cangnan Mansion?"
Shen Hui was taken aback for a moment, he thought that the new county sheriff would definitely blame them for not going out to greet them, the new official took office three fires, he must find an excuse to vent, who would have thought he would be the first It turned out to be such a trivial matter.
Ke Cha shrugged and said, "I didn't arrange it, I never cared about the affairs in Cangnan Mansion."
Sun Qiancheng frowned and said, "My lord, the former sheriff has just died, and his heart is not stable. How can he have time to care about the issue of guarding the gate?"
Chu Xiu stared at Sun Gancheng and said, "So, you are the one who doesn't let people guard the city gate?"
Sun Gancheng snorted coldly and said, "My lord, it's not a question of letting go. You just came to Cangwu County, and there are some things I don't understand. What I should do now is to find out the cause of the death of the previous county magistrate, so as to stabilize people." right……"
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Chu Xiu directly interrupted Sun Gancheng, stepped forward, squinted his eyes and said, "I just want to ask you, why is there no one guarding the gate of Cangnan Mansion? Right is right, and wrong is wrong. I don't want to hear the second one." answer!"
A strong coercion descended, and even Shen Hui and Ke Cha, who had looked indifferent before, were stunned. They never expected that Chu Xiu would attack them because of such a trivial matter.
Sun Qiancheng gritted his teeth, he could give in now, but he didn't want to.
He, Sun Gancheng, has been running Cangwu County for so many years, and it can be said that he has made more contributions than the county guard. If he is not inferior in strength and has not stepped into the realm of heaven and earth for so many years, then the position of the county guard must belong to him.
So he also has his own pride. He can honestly cooperate with the county guard and do his best for the other party, but the premise is that the other party needs to give him enough respect and courtesy.
Chu Xiu is obviously as strong as him, and it is because of his identity as the heir of Gu Zun and a friend of Lu Sanjin who walks in the Eastern Region, that he can get this position. Why?
The other party is still so aggressive, why should he subdue?
Now that the chaos in Cangwu County has just ended, more than half of the ten deacons have run away. He is the only person in Cangwu County who can stabilize the overall situation, so he is sure that even if he offends Chu Xiu, Huangtian Pavilion will not move him, saying Maybe it will make Chu Xiu think about the overall situation.
So Sun Qiancheng replied stiffly: "My lord, what do you mean by this? To be aggressive for such a trivial matter?
The matter is urgent, what is right or wrong? Could it be that without the Lord Sheriff around, we have to report to the headquarters of Huangtian Pavilion every time we eat? "
Chu Xiu stretched out his hand, grasped the broken handle of the knife at his waist, and said flatly: "The answer is wrong, as I said, the answer I want is only right and wrong.
Cangwu County, I am the sheriff, you can do whatever I ask you to do, this is what a subordinate should do.
Answering irrelevant questions, contradicting Shangguan, unable to understand a single sentence, what use do I need you for? "
The moment he saw Chu Xiu hold the knife, Sun Gancheng's expression changed.
But he still didn't believe that Chu Xiu would attack him here.
Even if the existence of the True Fire God Refining Realm is placed in Da Luotian, it can be regarded as a master. In the big sect, those who serve as the backbone of the deacons are completely independent. no problem.
The county guard has always dealt with the people below, punished and demoted, but he didn't do it directly just because of such a trivial matter like Chu Xiu.
But at the next moment, with Chu Xiu's knife slashing out, the light of the knife all over the sky enveloped everything.
In front of this knife, no matter what power he has, what the rules of heaven and earth are, they are all neatly torn into two halves!
Sun Qiancheng didn't even have time to take the weapon. The energy and blood all over his body exploded and agitated instantly, but before he could fully launch his defense, the invincible knife had already fallen.
The protective qi was torn apart like paper, and the powerful qi and blood withered instantly.
Under one blow, Sun Gancheng was beheaded without even uttering a miserable howl!
