Martial Arts Domination: Start with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique-Chapter 35 - The Monk of Rebirth Temple!

Thinking this, Qin Zheng then remembered the Ghost Head Greatsword he carried on his back, which offered him an explanation.

With this sword, the recognizability was indeed quite high.

“Young Master Qin knows Venerable Monk Wuchang?”

Upon seeing this, Steward Liu immediately asked with a smile.

“I saw him this morning in the east of the city.”

Qin Zheng nodded and replied.

“Very good, very good!”

Steward Liu’s smile widened.

After arranging for everyone to be seated, he turned towards the dancers and musicians and said, “Louder!

More cheerful!”

He then looked at everyone and said with a smile, “Gentlemen, the County Magistrate will be here soon.

Let’s have a drink and enjoy the performance first!”

“Great!”

“No rush, no rush!”

“…”

The crowd responded in agreement.

Qin Zheng had no choice but to follow the crowd and watched the performance of the dancers on the stage.

It must be said that Lord Gao’s taste was indeed quite refined.

The group of dancers on the stage were all beauties with creamy, flawless skin.

With each turn and glance, they were dazzling, each smile and frown mesmerizingly moving.

During this, Qin Zheng noticed that the white-robed monk had his eyes closed tightly, silently chanting sutras as if not wanting to view the sensual scene.

Hearing that the Buddhist Sect has eight precepts, this seemed like a monk who followed the rules.

Qin Zheng merely glanced briefly before shifting his gaze away.

After one song ended, Qin Zheng’s ears twitched slightly, and he subtly turned his head towards a certain direction.

A few moments later, a slightly plump figure arrived, panting heavily.

Upon seeing everyone, he cupped his hands and said with a face full of apology, “I, the official, have arrived late and neglected all the heroes here.

Let me punish myself with a drink first!”

As he spoke, he moved to the head of the table, picked up a cup, filled it with wine, and gulped it down.

“County Magistrate Gao is too polite!”

“County Magistrate Gao needn’t do that!”

“…”

With the arrival of the magistrate, the atmosphere soared to its peak, brimming with excitement.

This was also Qin Zheng’s first encounter with the chief official of Black Goose City.

The man did not look as old as Qin Zheng had imagined.

In fact, he seemed quite young, probably only in his early thirties.

But his eyes were somewhat narrow and shifty-looking, giving off a somewhat shady appearance, not the easiest to get along with.

Moreover, with his heightened senses far surpassing ordinary people, Qin Zheng detected a whiff of women’s rouge on this County Magistrate Gao, along with an indescribable scent of bewilderment.

He subtly furrowed his brow almost imperceptibly.

The people were waiting here for him, and the urgent matter he spoke of was to engage in that affair?

And within this government office no less.

No wonder he had married eighteen wives and concubines; he truly was a lascivious spirit.

Thinking this, as County Magistrate Gao took his seat, Steward Liu also quickly called out, “Gentlemen, please start with the banquet.”

He then looked toward the stage and, raising his hand, loudly declared, “Continue the music!

Continue the dance!”

The atmosphere immediately surged even higher.

The banquet lasted for nearly half an hour.

Although those present were not lacking in food and clothing, given that they were all martial artists, their appetites were enormous.

Thus, while everyone ate, the chefs continuously served more dishes.

Once everyone had their fill of food and drink, the servants came forward to clean up the table, and everyone’s expressions became serious.

“As for the situation in Black Goose City, I believe everyone is already quite clear, so there’s no need for me to elaborate further.”

“The reason I’ve asked you all here today is because of this matter.”

Lord Gao cleared his throat, then scanned his eyes over everyone present and began to speak.

With these words, the atmosphere in the room had already quieted down to the point where one could hear breathing.

Everyone was watching Lord Gao, waiting for him to continue.

Regarding the intentions of the government office, everyone present was well aware, but it depended on how much sincerity the government office could show to make them willing to risk their lives.

“The bandits outside the city have been extremely arrogant, besieging the troops led by Colonel Ji in the mountains, and they even slaughtered eighteen of our constables with their swords and threw their bodies into the river.”

“What you do not know is, the leader of those bandits, Zhang Xiuwen, has already sent me a warning letter.”

“It states that if the gates of Black Goose City are not opened within three days, they will bring their army directly over to breach the gates!”

“At that time, they’ll also let their army plunder the city for three days!”

“Tell me, how dare such a gang of lawless men claim to be an ‘army’ and even try to break through the gates of Black Goose City and let their army plunder for three days!”

Lord Gao’s voice gradually rose and became more impassioned until, by the end, he was utterly furious, his face flushing red.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present suddenly turned solemn and became very serious.

All sorts of industries in Black Goose City were owned by them, without exception.

If the bandits invaded the city and looted at will, they would be the ones to suffer the most.

Though each of their families had many gang members, they were still no match for the bandits who could besiege the troops in the mountains.

After Lord Gao spoke, those in the audience who originally wanted to hear the sincerity of the government office before making a decision,

started thinking about how to fend off the bandits externally.

Qin Zheng remained silent, quietly observing everyone.

“Today, I have asked you all here to discuss a solution to this issue.”

“You all are the pillars of Black Goose City, without whom Black Goose City would not be so prosperous.”

“However, similarly, if Black Goose City were to be breached, I’m afraid your lives would not be as comfortable as before.”

While speaking, Lord Gao’s gaze swept over everyone.

“Why don’t you write a letter to the court for help, Lord Gao?”

Just as his gaze was about to turn to Qin Zheng, a voice rang out.

Qin Zheng turned his head to look, and saw that the speaker was none other than Zhang Wei, the head of the Canal Gang.

Upon hearing this, everyone else also turned their eyes towards Lord Gao.

At that moment, the city’s prefect shook his head and continued, “Since the incident occurred, I have already written no less than thirty letters for reinforcements.”

At this point, his expression suddenly darkened: “But as of this moment, they are all neatly placed at the edge of my desk!”

Everyone’s eyes instantly narrowed.

“Among the bandits, there are several Divine Archers.”

At this moment, Steward Liu spoke, explaining to those who did not understand.

“Therefore, we can only rely on the forces inside the city, on everyone here!”

Lord Gao looked at everyone and continued, “If everyone could lend a hand, the bandits outside the city would certainly not be a problem!”

“Our government office will not be stingy.

Those forces participating in driving out the bandits will be tax-exempt for three years!”

“For individuals participating in driving out the bandits, the government office will reward One Thousand Taels of Silver!”

His expression was stern, his gaze firmly fixed on everyone present.

And just as the scene fell into silence.

A figure in white slowly stood up.

“Amitabha!

Let us from Rebirth Temple handle this matter.”
