Seven-star Sword Master

The next day, Lu Feipeng, who had made another breakthrough in his cultivation, went to work in a good mood.

As soon as he went out, he met Ma Jinbao, who was waiting for him at the door.

"Morning, Lord Lu."

"Morning, what's up, Brother Ma?"

Lu Feipeng also noticed Ma Jinbao lingering in front of the door, and knew that he was definitely waiting for him.

"It's like this, Lord Lu. There was no news from Lord Hu yesterday, as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.

No matter how many messages the Ministry sent, it was of no avail. Even Lord Liu’s message received no response.

Finally, as a last resort, Lord Liu found Lord Shen, and then Lord Shen personally sent a message to Lord Hu, and Lord Hu replied to the message. "

"problem occurs?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feipeng's first reaction was that something had happened to Hu Juncai.

Sure enough, Ma Jinbao's next words confirmed Lu Feipeng's guess.

I only heard Ma Jinbao say:

"Yes, Lord Hu said that they encountered a wild boar demon in the late stage of the Spiritual Fluid Realm on the road, and all the patrol guards who went with him died;

He was the only one who barely escaped from the pig demon. It is said that when Lord Shen heard the news, he flew into a rage and left the city overnight to look for Lord Hu. He has not returned yet."

In response, Lu Feipeng just nodded: "Okay, I understand."

So the two of them walked towards Si Mansion while talking and chatting.

When Lu Feipeng was about to reach his study, he was invited over by someone sent by Liu Xiangyang.

At this time in the conference room, Liu Xiangyang and Eunuch Xu had already been waiting here.

"Lord Lu is here, please sit down."

Liu Xiangyang repeated the news that Ma Jinbao had told him before, and then he said to Lu Feipeng:

"Master Lu, Master Hu's expedition was not successful this time. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to go again later."

"Ok!"

Lu Feipeng just nodded lightly. This matter was originally assigned to him by Liu Xiangyang, and Hu Juncai had taken the initiative to take it on the grounds that he was new here.

"I'll be off at once."

As he was about to get up and leave, Liu Xiangyang stopped him.

"Master Lu, please wait a moment."

Lu Feipeng looked at Liu Xiangyang with a little doubt and asked:

"Master Liu, is there anything else?"

I only heard Liu Xiangyang say:

"It's like this, Lord Lu. Lord Shen sent a message not long ago saying that he has found Lord Hu and Lord Shen will be back soon."

So the three of them waited here. They didn't have to wait too long. After about an hour, Shen Changming's figure descended from the sky.

Beside him was a slightly embarrassed figure. This person was none other than Hu Juncai, the Pingbei Envoy who had just taken office as the Inspection Commissioner yesterday.

When Shen Changming fell from the sky, Liu Xiangyang and the other three who were asking around appeared in the yard after hearing the noise.

"Master Shen."

The three of them greeted Shen Changming one after another, and then turned their eyes to Hu Juncai.

At this time, Hu Juncai looked disheveled and unkempt, and even the robe representing the Siping envoy that he had just put on yesterday was already in tatters.

After Shen Changming landed, he said nothing. He waved his left hand at his waist, and a huge object crashed into the yard.

Several people turned their heads to look. Wasn't this huge monster with a body more than two meters long the wild boar monster that had fought with Hu Juncai before?

After seeing this thing, Liu Xiangyang suddenly realized;

He was wondering why Shen Changming had been gone for so long and hadn't come back. Logically, he shouldn't have been delayed for so long.

It turned out that the reason why Shen Changming wasted so much time was to deal with this pig monster.

Liu Xiangyang guessed correctly. After Shen Changming learned about Hu Juncai's experience, he was filled with anger.

After finding Hu Juncai, he first scolded Hu Juncai harshly;

Of course, it was impossible for Hu Juncai to honestly say that he disliked their slow pace and deliberately did not let the patrol guards rest.

He insisted that the wild boar demon was too powerful and he was no match for it. Anyway, everyone except him died and no one exposed his lie.

Shen Changming was Hu Juncai's uncle, and this was also Hu Juncai's first time to carry out a mission as a local chief official. He had no experience and it was impossible for him to be serious about this point, so he was fooled by Hu Juncai.

Afterwards, he asked Hu Juncai to take him to the place where he had encountered the wild boar monster before, but there was no way the boar monster would wait for him there.

That was why they were delayed a bit and spent their time looking for the pig demon;

In fact, this was also because Shen Changming didn't want Hu Juncai to look too bad on patrol, so he spent some time to deal with the pig monster. Otherwise, with Shen Changming's speed, they would have returned long ago.

"Master Hu, I need an explanation."

As soon as the group walked into the conference room and sat down, Liu Xiangyang directly questioned Hu Juncai without any regard for Shen Changming's face.

Hu Juncai had originally taken on this mission himself, but before they reached Beishan Village, more than a dozen patrol guards who were carrying out the mission with Hu Juncai died along the way.

In response to this, Hu Juncai still said as he had said to Shen Changming before, saying that the pig monster was so powerful that even he was lucky to survive.

"Xiangyang, I can prove that this pig demon is indeed very powerful. It has already stepped into the Golden Core Stage."

Seeing Shen Changming say this, Liu Xiangyang thought that as an envoy from Annan, he would not deceive him on this matter. Only then did he believe what Hu Juncai said.

"Okay, since Lord Shen has said so, I will not pursue the matter any further."

Seeing that Liu Xiangyang no longer pursued the matter of his failed mission, Hu Juncai glanced at Eunuch Xu inadvertently, and his heart finally settled down.

Although he has Shen Changming's support, Liu Xiangyang may not pursue the matter, but Eunuch Xu cannot do that.

This damn eunuch is extremely petty and always tells tales for the slightest thing.

"Then let me ask you, if something has happened, why didn't you reply when Si Fu and I sent you a message?"

Just when Hu Juncai thought that the matter was over, Liu Xiangyang asked him again.

Hearing these words, Hu Juncai felt a little uneasy in his heart, because he was afraid before. He was afraid to tell Si Fu the news that the patrol guards who came out with him were all dead.

He was afraid that the Sifu would know the news and report to the higher-ups, saying that he was incompetent, thus causing him to lose the post of Pingbei Envoy that his uncle had worked so hard to secure for him.

When Si Fu sent him a message, he was extremely scared, so he pretended not to see the message and did not reply to Si Fu.

However, under Shen Changming's questioning, he had to give an explanation to his uncle, so he had already thought of a countermeasure. He just said:

"That's right, Lord Liu. I did sense something unusual about the communication talisman before, but I was already having a hard time dealing with the pig demon at the time, so I didn't have time to check the news.

It was not until I escaped from the pig demon that I had time to check the communication talisman, and Lord Shen happened to send a message at that time..."

After hearing Hu Juncai's explanation, everyone blamed the pig demon. Now the pig demon is dead and there is no evidence.

In this case, Liu Xiangyang did not pursue the matter any further, but Eunuch Xu on the side seemed determined not to let Hu Juncai go;

He kept asking Hu Juncai all sorts of questions, which made Hu Juncai miserable.

Hu Juncai cursed Eunuch Xu to death in his heart. This damn eunuch was simply being unreasonable.

Fortunately, Shen Changming couldn't stand it anymore, he interrupted Eunuch Xu and the others, and then Shen Changming told Liu Xiangyang:

"Xiangyang, although something went wrong this time, you can't just ignore the affairs of Beishan Village."

Sure enough, once Shen Changming spoke, the still aggressive eunuch Xu stopped talking.

"Sir, we have discussed this matter before. Sir Lu will take over this mission and investigate what happened in Beishan Village."

Shen Changming glanced at Lu Feipeng and said no more.

What? You want to run away with the credit you got?

There are no doors!

So Hu Juncai quickly stood up and said:

"Master Liu, I want to go with Master Lu, so that if something happens in Beishan Village, we two can take care of each other."

It can be heard from this prosperity that even so Hu Juncai still does not want to miss out on this credit.

"This……"

Thinking of Hu Juncai's previous experience, Liu Xiangyang became a little hesitant.

In fact, what Hu Juncai said was right. The two of them could have someone to take care of them on the road.

Since he couldn't make up his mind, he simply gave the choice to Lu Feipeng.

"What do you think, Lord Lu?"

When Hu Juncai heard that Liu Xiangyang wanted Lu Feipeng to choose for himself, he immediately became anxious and said to Lu Feipeng:

"Master Lu, think about what happened to me before. We can't delay any longer. We must put the safety of tens of thousands of villagers in Beishan Village first."

In response to this, several people in the field rolled their eyes. How could they not know what Hu Juncai was thinking?

Even Shen Changming had his hand on his forehead. Hu Juncai's eating manner was really ugly.

Lu Feipeng glanced at Hu Juncai. Under Hu Juncai's attentive gaze, he shook his head at Liu Xiangyang and said:

"I have no opinion."

"Since Lord Lu has no objection, Lord Liu, please let me go with Lord Lu."

Judging from these conversations, Hu Juncai, who had just suffered a loss, has become obedient this time. He used to keep shouting "Ben Shi Ben Shi", but this time it's my turn.

Liu Xiangyang glanced at Shen Changming and finally said:

"Okay, then let's get going without further delay. You two should leave as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Seeing that things were almost done, Shen Changming suddenly said:

"I will stay for two more days."

He had originally planned to return to Fanyang County today, but after what happened in Ningtai Township, he decided to stay for two more days.

Outside, Ma Jinbao had already prepared the troops to accompany Lu Feipeng to Beishan Village.

More than twenty patrol guards were on standby in the courtyard.

Hu Juncai was quite upset by this scene. He glanced at Ma Jinbao with an unfriendly look and thought:

"You bastard Ma Jinbao, just wait for me!"

"set off!"

Lu Feipeng looked towards Liu Xiangyang, and seeing that Liu Xiangyang didn't seem to want to say anything, he waved his hand towards the patrol guards in front of him and said:

"set off!"
