Chapter 49 Decision

Wu Qian ground the ink carefully and felt that the days passed by were like years. After a while, he felt relieved when he saw that Zhou Tieyi didn't seem to be going to use violence.

Zhou Tieyi flipped through the "Regulations of the God-Slaying Department" and wrote a document according to the format of the document requesting troops. He also wrote another letter requesting a transfer order to transfer Wu Qian to his own command. Both documents were in duplicate.

The so-called system of requesting troops means that the general flag of the God-Punishing Division, when discovering clues of obscene worship, will request action from superiors. He has the right to mobilize subordinates and exercise the power to collect, investigate, and even punish.

Seeing Zhou Tieyi writing the letter requesting troops, Wu Qian was still a little dazed. Are there also obscene sacrifices in Tianjing?

"Go, hand this to Commander Gongsun and have him sign and seal it."

This time, Wu Qian did not ask any more questions and went to Gongsun's office.

Gongsun Chou, who was handling official business, saw Wu Qian coming and handed over the documents.

He read the document first, frowned, and then relaxed.

It’s not that he didn’t dare to make the move, but he was surprised that Zhou Tieyi’s actions were so fast, at least half a month faster than he had imagined.

"Tell me what he did this afternoon."

Gongsun Chou asked casually.

Wu Qian stood there, thinking about Zhou Tieyi's look just now, and the other half of the thing he asked him to guess about, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and shuddered, and could only grit his teeth.

Gongsun Chou didn't pay attention to Wu Qian at first. He just kept his eyes on the document. When he didn't hear an answer for a long time, he looked up at Wu Qian.

However, after five breaths of staring at each other, Wu Qian almost fell to his knees.

Gongsun Chou laughed instead, "Interesting."

He took the official seal and stamped it, making two copies, and handed one to Wu Qian again, saying, "Do your job well."

When Wu Qian returned to Zhou Tieyi, he felt that the road between the two mansions was even longer than the road from Qinglong City to Baihu City, and he almost collapsed from exhaustion.

Zhou Tieyi took the stamped document and asked Wu Qian casually, "What did Commander Gongsun ask you?"

Come again?

Wu Qian said tremblingly, "The commander asked about the general flag's situation this afternoon."

"Then how did you answer?"

Zhou Tieyi asked, still smiling.

Wu Qian straightened up a lot, "I didn't say anything."

"Then do you know why Commander Gongsun didn't blame you even though you didn't say anything?"

Wu Qian leaned forward a little more and said, "I don't know."

Zhou Tieyi smiled and said, "You guessed it, why don't you say it?"

He did not continue to punish Wu Qian, but stood up. He was tall and strong, and he looked down at Wu Qian from a high position. "Let me say this for you. Since you did nothing wrong, you are my soldier, so Commander Gongsun did not bypass me to punish you. This is clearly written in the "Regulations for the Execution of Gods". It seems that you have not learned it well enough."

This is a combination of kindness and severity!
Wu Qian half admired and said, "The general flag is right."

Zhou Tieyi stood up and asked A'er to go back and inform the Zhou Mansion of his whereabouts and ask someone to protect him secretly. Then he walked towards the Zhushen Guard Station. There were many barracks here, but they were dilapidated and run down. Except for a few Zhushen guards from poor families, who would be on duty in the difficult barracks?

"Ada, blow the trumpet and call the people."

Ah Da blew the Lingxi ox horn. Although the sound was not harsh, it could wake up even those who were asleep. Now everyone was not asleep, and a few guards of the Zhushen Division on duty hurried out of the barracks. However, when they saw that it was not the general flag that led them, they looked around curiously, wanting to know what happened.

A horn sounded, and after a quarter of an hour, Zhou Tieyi shouted loudly, "Shentu Yuan, Hao Ren, Qin Yu, Mei Juncang, Sima Li haven't arrived yet."

Then he said to Wu Qian, who was holding a pen and paper beside him, "Write it down."

"Yes."

After saying that, without paying any attention to the curious guards around him, Zhou Tieyi hurriedly took A Da and a few others away from the Zhushen Division. Some curious people followed them.

Zhou Tieyi, who used to be a playboy as well, of course knew what the five people Gongsun Chou gave him looked like. Not only did he know that, he also knew where these people were now.

Beside Xuanwu Lake, on the bank of Luo River, there stands a seven-story pavilion covering an area of ​​one hundred acres, overlooking the thousands of sails competing on the water. The pavilion is round on the outside and square on the inside, shaped like a copper coin. There is a side building on the left and right, four stories high, connected by corridors, shaped like a golden toad. The four together form a feng shui pattern of a golden toad swallowing treasure, trying to swallow all the wealth of the Luo River into its mouth.

This is the famous Tianbao Tower in Xuanwu City.

Although the Linshuixuan run by the prince is more upscale, it has strict identity restrictions like those top clubs, for fear of offending the nobles inside. After all, the purpose of running Linshuixuan by the prince is not just to make ordinary money.

On the contrary, it is the Tianbao Tower that can welcome and see off wealthy businessmen on the Luo River. Sometimes, one gambling table can lose the wealth of ten Mohist dragon ships. That is really making a fortune.

Tianbao Tower has a strange rule: one can only enter from the side facing the river.

In front of the pavilion, there were foreign girls wearing veils, exquisite bras, and gems inlaid in their navels welcoming and seeing off guests.

Originally, the women who welcomed and saw off the guests at Tianbao Tower were all singers from Jiangnan, but later on, the Confucian censors brought the matter to the court, saying that it was offensive to humanity and not in line with the teachings of the saints.

The people behind Tianbao Tower did not argue with the sixth-rank censor of Confucianism in the court. Instead, they spent a large amount of money to collect captured Hu girls from border towns.

These Hu girls came from Yuanmeng, or from the hundreds of barbarian countries further west of Yuanmeng. They had never been receptive to the teachings of the sages, and were even treated only as wealth and not as human beings. The censor was immediately speechless. He could not risk going against the will of the world and plead for the barbarians, otherwise he would not know if the teachings he learned were those of Daxia.

After reuniting with A'er, when Zhou Tieyi came with six people wearing the Flying Eagle uniforms of the God-Slaying Division, a steward had already secretly observed Zhou Tieyi and his group from afar, especially A'da and others who had stern faces and swords on their waists. The steward immediately knew that they were not here with good intentions today.

"Isn't this Mr. Zhou Er? You haven't been here for a long time. A new batch of beauties have just arrived at the Tianxiang Pavilion upstairs. Please go up and appreciate them."

This steward was a man of a famous family, best at identifying objects, and had met Zhou Tieyi several times before.

He smiled and brought seven Hu girls with him, who surrounded them. The girls' hands seemed gentle, but they were extremely strong, trying to push Zhou Tieyi and the others away from the main gate.

Especially the Hu girl who greeted Zhou Tieyi, with her turquoise eyes and hidden charm.

However, thinking of the money his predecessor lost here, Zhou Tieyi's eyes were extremely determined.

cut.

The word color means a knife on the head.

How could I, Zhou Tieyi, be the kind of man who would go upstairs casually!
"Ada."

After hearing Zhou Tieyi's order, Ada and the other four mixed their qi and blood into a force that directly knocked away the Hu girls who were surrounding them. Moreover, they did not use soft force. After the Hu girl was knocked away, she fell three or four meters and even bumped into a businessman who wanted to come and have fun.

For a time, cries of grief were heard everywhere.

Zhou Tieyi took out a stamped request for troops and said in a stern and cold voice, "The God-Slaying Division is in charge of this matter. Outsiders must stay out of the way. After the order is given, anyone who dares to stop us will be executed immediately!"

After he said that, Ah Da took off the Lingxi horn from his waist, gathered all his energy and blood, and blew it.

The sound of the horn was vast, like the roar of a dragon or the howl of a tiger, making all the sheng and pipe sounds in the building pale in comparison.
