After Chu Xiu killed Sun Qiancheng, the entire Prefectural Governor Manor fell silent. Everyone was stunned.
Xu Fengshan and Qin Zhong, who were standing behind Chu Xiu and prepared to watch Chu Xiu make a fool of himself, no longer had the mood to do so. They felt that they were the real joke.
When Xu Fengshan asked Chu Xiu what he was going to do, Chu Xiu said that he would kill those who disobeyed him. He thought that Chu Xiu was talking nonsense.
Now, it seemed that Chu Xiu was serious!
Sun Qiancheng was a capable, influential, and prestigious warden in Cangwu County. Yet, Chu Xiu killed him just like that. Wasn't he afraid of being reprimanded by the higher-ups? Wasn't he afraid that he wouldn't be able to do anything in Cangwu County?
Qin Zhong secretly rejoiced. At the same time, he was grateful for Xu Fengshan's warning.
Fortunately, Xu Fengshan had told him to be careful with his words. Otherwise, if he were to talk back to Chu Xiu, he might be killed as well.
At this moment, Shen Hui and Ke Cha were dumbfounded.
They had been in Cangwu County for so many years, but they had never seen someone like Chu Xiu who killed someone without hesitation. Was he here to be the Prefectural Governor or was he sent by a rival sect to destroy the Imperial Sky Pavilion?
Ke Cha was half a barbarian, so he did things like a barbarian. He respected powerhouses the most.
Although Chu Xiu was at the True Fire Spirit-Refinement Realm, the fact that he was able to kill Sun Qiancheng, whose strength was on par with his, showed that his combat strength was definitely beyond his imagination. Therefore, Ke Cha lowered his head to Chu Xiu, expressing his obedience.
Shen Hui shuddered and hurriedly bowed. "Please forgive us, sir! We were in the wrong. We slacked off because we thought the Prefectural Governor wasn't around. We didn't send anyone to guard the gate. Please forgive us, sir! "
Shen Hui was really frightened by this blade, and he even said a few words of forgiveness in succession.
Chu Xiu said calmly, "There was no Prefectural Governor in the past, but there is now. Go, send two people to guard the gate.
Remember, from now on, I am the governor of Cangwu County. I only want one thing: obedience.
As long as you can do this, the rest is up to you. "
After saying that, Chu Xiu waved his hand and led everyone into the hall.
Shen Hui and the others were once again dumbstruck. That was it? That's it?
Shen Hui couldn't help but look at Sun Qiancheng's corpse on the ground. He shuddered and cursed inwardly.
He could now see that what Chu Xiu wanted was very simple, and that was people who were obedient.
In the end, Sun Qiancheng thought too highly of himself, but he met Chu Xiu, who didn't take him seriously at all. Now he was killed.
Sun Qiancheng died a wronged death because he had no idea what Chu Xiu wanted.
He had only come to Cangwu County to look for Ting Chunyu. The position of County Governor was just to use the Imperial Sky Pavilion's name.
The development of Cangwu County had nothing to do with him. What did the previous County Governor's death have to do with him at all?
Cold River City was eyeing Cangwu County covetously. As long as they didn't provoke him, he naturally wouldn't provoke them.
Since that was the case, what use was Sun Qiancheng to him, Chu Xiu? A fellow who couldn't even be obedient was worse than trash. He could only be killed.
As for the Imperial Sky Pavilion, Chu Xiu wasn't worried at all.
It could be said that the old Pavilion Master begged him to get his position.
When the news got out, it wouldn't matter even if someone from the Imperial Sky Pavilion was displeased with him for killing people and wanted to remove him from the position of County Governor.
In any case, to Chu Xiu, the time he had to go back and forth was enough for him to get Ting Chunyu.
After everyone entered the hall, Chu Xiu looked at them and said calmly, "I'm Chu Xiu. All of you just have to remember one thing. Cangwu County is under my jurisdiction from now on. That's enough. Now, introduce yourselves."
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched a little.
Among all the County Governors in the Imperial Sky Pavilion, perhaps only this lord would use such a peculiar self-introduction.
Ke Cha touched his forehead and bowed at Chu Xiu. This was the barbarian tribe's unique etiquette.
He said respectfully, "I'm Ke Cha. Because half of my blood runs in me, I'm in charge of dealing with the barbarians in Cangwu County. Of course, to me, no matter which tribe I'm from, I'm just a deacon of the Imperial Sky Pavilion. I'm loyal to the Imperial Sky Pavilion. "
Shen Hui glanced at Ke Cha. This fellow didn't have this kind of attitude in the past. He was always indifferent to everything he did. Even when the previous County Governor ordered him to do something, he always procrastinated. When had he ever been so respectful?
Now that he had encountered a ruthless character, he behaved more obediently than the other.
At this moment, Shen Hui also stood up, bowed, and said, "I'm Shen Hui. I'm familiar with all aspects of Cangwu County. I'll do whatever you want me to do, Lord."
Chu Xiu nodded. Xu Fengshan and Qin Zhong introduced themselves again. After everyone knew each other's names, Chu Xiu then asked, "The Imperial Sky Pavilion said that a saber has appeared in the hands of the barbarian tribe in Cangwu County. Did you send the news to them?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. No one had expected Chu Xiu's first question to be about a saber.
Sun Qiancheng had said that the first thing Chu Xiu should do after taking office was to investigate the real cause of the previous County Governor's death. Calming the people's hearts was the most important thing.
Although Sun Qiancheng was bickering with Chu Xiu, the truth was that it should be like that.
However, now that Chu Xiu asked about a saber and did not mention anything about the previous County Governor at all, none of them could react.
Xu Fengshan wanted to remind Chu Xiu, but he swallowed his words when they were at the tip of his tongue.
This person could not even be described as obstinate and self-opinionated. He was simply like a tyrant. He would not listen to anything anyone said. All he wanted was obedience.
Although everyone present had their doubts, nobody dared to voice them out.
Ke Cha said carefully, "This matter was indeed reported by Cangwu County. It happened not long before the barbarian riot."
Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said, "Tell me about it."
Ke Cha cleared his throat and said, "This is what happened. Because the previous County Governor was slightly older, he was more stable and gentle. His attitude toward the barbarians was the same.
Therefore, both sides often conducted trade and so on. I also represented the County Governor's Office to the depths of the Diluo Mountains to trade with the barbarian tribes. I have half the blood of the barbarians in me, and I know most of the barbarian tribes' languages. Therefore, they treated me quite well.
That time, I accidentally discovered that a tribe called Haslu was acting strangely. That's right, Haslu means the cheetah that runs amok in the bushes.
The Haslu tribe seemed to have obtained a saber. It was said that it was left behind by their ancestor, the ancient Devil God. With this saber, they would be able to restore the glory of their ancestors and expel the outsiders.
These tribes, especially those that lived in the depths of the Diluo Mountains, were very hostile to us. The Haslu tribe was one of the most hostile.
I spent a large amount of money to bribe a person from a tribe that was on good terms with the Haslu tribe. He secretly memorized the appearance of the saber and came back to describe it to me.
It was a scimitar that looked like a full moon. It exuded an astonishing demonic aura and sharpness. However, it was damaged, with cracks and nicks.
There was also a line of text on the saber, which he also recorded. Although the text was different from the Daluotian language, it was of the same origin. I could understand some of it. It was definitely not the language of the barbarians.
I could only understand a few words. It seemed to say something like 'Spring Rain in the Small Building'. Perhaps the barbarian had remembered the wrong strokes, causing the other words to be unclear.
These barbarians often cause trouble. Hearing them talk about restoring the glory of their ancestors, I knew that they were definitely up to something.
After I discovered it, I felt that something was wrong and reported it to the County Governor.
Because the barbarians hadn't made a move yet, the importance of this matter wasn't that high. Therefore, it was reported to the headquarters along with a pile of other information. "
When Kocha finished saying all these things in one breath, Chu Xiu could already be sure that the person holding the saber was' Listening to the Spring Rain in the Small Building '!
The demonic saber from the lower realm was actually regarded as some kind of ancestral divine weapon by these barbarian tribes. It was also very ridiculous.
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "The others can go. Kocha, stay behind. Oh, by the way, clean up the corpses outside."
Everyone left as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders. Kocha smiled bitterly in his heart.
Chu Xiu's ferocity was too great. He really didn't want to stay here alone with Chu Xiu, but he didn't dare to refuse.
Chu Xiu knocked on the table and asked, "How strong are the barbarians in the Southern Barbarian Land? For example, the Haslu tribe that you mentioned? "
Although Chu Xiu was asking about the barbarians, Kocha felt that he was actually concerned about the saber.
However, Kocha didn't dare to ask too much. He thought for a moment and said, "The strength of these barbarians isn't considered weak. It can even be said that they are very strong.
Not to mention all the barbarians added together, just the barbarians in my Cangwu County's Fan Wei County aren't that easy to deal with.
The martial arts system of these barbarians is different from ours. Although they also have some powerful warriors who can use various secret techniques to be on par with martial arts powerhouses, it's not easy to compare. Moreover, they also have many secret techniques that require many people to use together. The combined power is not small.
I can only say that among these barbarian tribes, some of the smaller tribes are comparable to sects with True Fire Spirit Refinement realm martial artists.
As for the larger tribes, all kinds of strange secret techniques can be used to kill and injure Heaven and Earth Mysterious Enlightenment realm powerhouses.
Fortunately, most of the tribes near my Cangwu County are some small tribes. Only those in the depths of the Diluo Mountain Range are those big tribes. "
Chu Xiu continued to knock on the table and asked, "That Haslu tribe, is it big or small?"
Kocha smiled bitterly and said, "It's also a big tribe. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bribed other barbarians to secretly inquire. If I go by myself, I might not be able to come back. "
