Chapter 590: The Protectorate of the Western Regions
Chapter 590: The Protectorate of the Western Regions
The area of Qianzhi Island is not small, and the dense forest is deep.
Walking in the dense forest, the sky and the trees block out the sun, causing the dense forest to be dark and damp.
It is this environment that is where Ganoderma lucidum grows.
Along the way, Xiang Tianxiao didn't know how many bowl-sized Ganoderma lucidum he had seen.
Trying to reach out and pick it up, the copper tiger in front of him didn't blame, but said:
"You be careful, these Ganoderma lucidum have to be processed and turned into Ganoderma lucidum liquid to have their effect, if they are eaten raw, I am afraid it will be hindered. β
Smiling awkwardly, Xiang Tianxiao put a few lingzhi plants he picked in his hand into his arms.
I heard Tonghu ask again: "By the way, you haven't told me yet, what is your name?"
opened his mouth, smiled to the sky and closed his mouth again, and when he spoke again, he said:
"My surname is Take's name. β
"Surname Zhu?" Tong Hu turned around and muttered, "It's a rare surname." β
Xiang Tian smiled and said, "The surname Tong is not rare, you are not from the Wu Dynasty, right?"
Raising his eyebrows, Tonghu pursed his lips and nodded: "My father is from the Northland, my mother is from the Wu Dynasty, I was born in the Wu Dynasty, and I am from the Wu Dynasty." β
"Well, it's good to be a member of the Wu Dynasty," Xiang Tian smiled at the national character very strongly.
With a split smile, Copper Tiger agreed.
Walking through the dense forest, Xiang Tianxiao followed the copper tiger for a while before arriving at a cave.
There were more than a dozen warriors at the entrance of the cave, and when they saw the bronze tiger coming, they greeted them, and one of them said with anxiety and resentment:
"There are few tigers, and some people have run away, and now only we are left. β
Tonghu's face fell, and he said in a deep voice:
"Let's let them run, how is the island owner?"
The man shook his head and sighed, "I have used the juice dripping from Qiongzhen for thousands of years, but the injury is still not healed. β
Tonghu immediately smiled at Xiang Tian and said, "You come in with me." β
When I entered the cave, I saw a woman who was slightly older than Xiang Tianxiao sitting cross-legged on the stone bed.
The bronze tiger knelt down at the woman and said:
"Master, I brought someone here, he is indeed the apprentice of Xiao Shu, the old monster of green poison, surnamed Zhu Mingyao. β
The woman slowly opened her eyes and said weakly:
"Will he detoxify?"
Looking at Gongsun Lan's appearance, Xiang Tianxiao suddenly remembered something, and this answered the question:
"Do you still have a brother?"
............
From Gongsun onwards, the Kunlun faction ranks third.
The people of the rivers and lakes call Leng Yan lifeless, and the number is no son, which means that there is no life when the knife comes out, and there is no survival.
Such a person is very unpopular when he arrives in the Western Regions Protectorate.
There is no other reason, Gongsun rose up to protect the mansion in the Western Regions, representing the Wuhou Mansion.
It is a manifestation of the restrictions of the Wuhou Mansion on the Western Regions Protectorate.
This was an exchange of interests between Xiang Tianxiao and Wuhou Baili Shou of Xiping Prefecture.
It's just that the Western Regions Protectorate is different from other official yamen.
As the administrative body sent by the Wu Dynasty to the Western Regions.
With the rise of the countries in the Western Regions, the Protectorate of the Western Regions has actually existed in name only.
Even the position of the protector has been vacant for many years, and his official residence has long been moved to Heming Pass.
The reason why it is still there is nothing more than that the countries of the Western Regions can pass some voices to the court of the Wu Dynasty through the Metropolitan Protectorate.
Don't look at just handing over words, there are more famous halls in the middle.
The words were handed over, if they reported to the court truthfully, they would definitely make the court unhappy.
If the court is displeased, it will send people, and if there are too many people in the court, it will make the Wuhou Mansion uncomfortable.
The Wuhou Mansion was uncomfortable, and the imperial court was not steady.
The relationship between them is very delicate, and you can't understand it unless you are in it.
Especially now, Xiang Tianxiao has set a big plan to trade with the countries of the Western Regions led by the Great White Country as a martial artist.
All of a sudden, the role of the Western Regions Protectorate is even worse.
The countries of the Western Regions are now dealing with the Kunlun faction, who cares about you and the palace?
However!
There's a problem with that.
The Kunlun faction is a sect of the rivers and lakes, and the Wuhou Mansion is to do the affairs of the rivers and lakes on behalf of the Son of Heaven and manage the rivers and lakes.
A martial arts sect that has a hot relationship with the countries of the Western Regions is bound to make the imperial court pay attention.
The Wuhou Mansion will play its due role at this time.
However, the Wuhou Mansion can manage the Kunlun faction, but it can't manage the countries of the Western Regions, and if it directly deals with the countries of the Western Regions, it will be suspected of being reasonable.
Therefore, at this time, the role of the protector of the Western Regions was highlighted again.
Moreover, even if there is no Kunlun faction, the Wuhou Mansion still needs a channel to communicate with the countries of the Western Regions.
The Western Regions are stable, and Wuhou Mansion naturally lives comfortably.
To sum up, all of this now falls on the shoulders of Gongsun Qi.
He also represented the Wuhou Mansion and the Kunlun faction, which was to the Wulin of Xipingzhou.
......
More than a dozen people from the Western Regions Protectorate gathered together secretly.
It can be seen from the costumes of each person that there are 'hundred households' on the sixth grade, 'general flag' on the seventh grade, 'counselor' on the eighth grade, 'camp captain' on the eighth grade, 'translation' under the ninth grade, and so on.
The translator said: "Since the grandson got up, the envoys of the Western Regions have all come to him directly, and we have become decorations. β
The lieutenant nodded heavily and said:
"As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, this grandson is too ignorant!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded yes.
All of a sudden, all kinds of cursing against Gongsun began.
After everyone scolded, the hundred households sitting on the main seat opened their mouths and said:
"We're scolding here for a while, and it's useless, do you have a good plan?"
The counselor, who sat at the bottom of the house, looked at the crowd, and finally said to the captain:
"That grandson first entered the mansion, but he was just a non-mainstream chief, so can't the captain think of a way?"
The lieutenant spread his hands and said: "This mansion is just that little soldier, he Kunlun sent tens of thousands of people, and there are thousands of disciples in Heming Pass alone, how dare the lower officials trouble him?"
With a light "snort", the counselor said: "As a military attachΓ©, this courage is debatable. β
In this regard, the lieutenant was not angry, and said to the counselor:
"That Gongsun Qi has no son, and I naturally have no way to deal with him as a martial artist, or do you have a lot of civil intrigues and tricks, why don't you think of a way?"
"The words of the captain are so unreasonable, that Gongsun has a Wuhou Mansion after he gets up, and he will make up a crime casually, and we and other civil officials can't bear it" The interpreter is also a civil official, so he defended loudly, and then arched his hand towards the upper position, and said:
"That Kunlun faction Xiang Tianxiao is always resourceful, and his own disciples will be stationed in this mansion, there must be a plan, if we don't come up with countermeasures as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles!"
On the main seat, the hundred households flattened their mouths.
I can't beat it, and I can't suppress it, but how can I be good?
The general banner, who had not spoken, spoke at this time:
"Neither intrigue nor force is the case, but we have our advantages. β
Everyone looked towards the general banner, and saw the general banner pointing to his official uniform.
The counselor was the first to react and said, "Lord Zongqi is saying that our identity?"
"Not bad!" the general flag slapped the handrail, looked around at the people present, and said loudly:
"All of you here are court officials, no matter how strong his Kunlun faction is, he won't dare to kill the officials, right? In this way, I just need to use Yang to conspire against him!"
Baihu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"There are many contradictions in the countries and tribes of the Western Regions, and since his grandson wants to take care of things, he will take care of it. β
