Chapter 343 Puppet Conditions

"Luo Xianguan, you can't leave!"

Yu Die watched Luo Liang getting up and preparing to leave, and hurriedly tried to stop him. Luo Liang turned his head, and a smug look flashed across his eyes, as if he thought she was going to give in, and jokingly said:
"You are the immortal official of Qingyang County. Lion Ridge belongs to Qingyang County and is also under your jurisdiction. How can you ignore the tiger monster that is harming the people?"

"Disaster?"

The smug look in Luo Liang's eyes froze, and he sneered, his face full of sarcasm, and said, "But since I became the Immortal Official of Qingyang County, why haven't I heard of any monsters harming the people in Lion Ridge?"

"Luo Xianguan..."

Zhang Chengyong was furious and was about to speak, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yu Die, "Brother Zhang, I'm a little thirsty, how about you get me a pot of water?"

Zhang Chengyong served as her guide. During their tour around Lion Ridge, he told her in detail that civilians disappeared from time to time near Lion Ridge, leaving no trace of their bodies. It was very likely that they had become food for the tiger demon that occupied Lion Ridge.

This matter.

Whether it is Zhangjia Village or other villages near Shiziling, they have found people to report to the court, and this has not happened once or twice, but for hundreds of years.

just.

There were countless county magistrates in Qingyang County who turned a blind eye to the matter.

According to Zhang Chengyong, their village near Lion Hill is a remote and poor place, so there is not much cost. Moreover, the tiger demon occupying Lion Hill is not an ordinary monster. How could the officials in the county government be willing to stand up for them and do something thankless?
period.

Zhang Chengyong had asked why the county government actually sent someone when she went to ask for help this time. Not only did she come voluntarily, but even Luo Liang, the immortal official of Qingyang County, was alarmed.

She also probably explained the reason!
She knew that Zhang Chengyong suddenly spoke because he wanted to criticize the loopholes in Luo Liang's words. However, Zhang Chengyong was just an ordinary person after all. Even though his father was the newly appointed mountain god of Lion Ridge, Lion Ridge was not a big place. It was just a second-rate god.

It is useful but not a big threat to Luo Liang!

and.

This time, Luo Liang did not get the benefits he wanted from the Zhang family, so how could he have the mood to bear Zhang Chengyong's accusations.

Even if what Zhang Chengyong said was true!

As long as she is around, Luo Liang will not do anything to Zhang Chengyong, but she can't stay in the Zhang family forever. Once she leaves, who knows if Luo Liang is petty and will find a chance to deal with Zhang Chengyong?
She didn't want Zhang Chengyong to endanger his life for a moment of pleasure!

Zhang Chengyong was very impulsive, but he was not stupid. When he heard Yu Die change the subject so abruptly, he reacted immediately and felt a chill on his back.

Only then did he remember what kind of disaster his words had caused.

What a big shot the Immortal Official of Qingyang County is. After all, he has lived in the county for many years, so how could he not know him?

He was a man that even the county magistrate had to give respect to, and how dare he, a villager from the mountains, criticize such a man.

He was afraid that even nine lives would not be enough to pay for it!

fortunately.

Yu Die interrupted him and said something about what would happen to him otherwise.

He didn't even dare to think about it!
"Master Yu, I'll go get you a pot of water right away!" Zhang Chengyong's face was full of relief and gratitude. He took the water gourd handed to him by Yu Die, got up and left.

Luo Liang looked at Zhang Chengyong's departing back and snorted coldly, but didn't care too much. He was just an ant-like character. If he wasn't lucky enough to have a mountain god in his family, he wouldn't have even bothered to look at him.

How could I possibly care about his talkativeness!
Do you really think he is a narrow-minded person?

"Captain Yu, you are right. Qingyang County is my territory after all. Although I don't think that the tiger demon that occupied Lion Ridge is a vicious person who would do something that would anger the heavens and the people, since you want to take care of this troublesome matter, I can't stop you!"

Luo Liang snorted. He didn't really want to leave here. If he left like this before getting any benefits, wouldn't he have come here in vain?

"I'm here, waiting for news of your triumphant return. If you encounter any danger, call for help in time and I can at least save your life.

I can’t deal with the tiger demon in advance before I’m sure whether it’s good or bad, but I can still save your life, Yu Baihu!”

The matter of the tiger demon at Lion Ridge happened before he came to Qingyang County to take office. It was his predecessor, the Qingyang County Immortal Official, who told him about it and warned him not to meddle in other people's business. It was not that the Qingyang County Immortal Official or other big shots in Qingyang County accepted benefits from the tiger demon.

But Lion Ridge is a barren land - at least in the eyes of those who practice cultivation, it is a barren land with no natural treasures. It doesn't matter whether it is occupied by humans or monsters.

Not to mention that the tiger demon occupying Lion Ridge is no ordinary creature, although it is impossible for it to have the cultivation level of Jindan or even Yuanying as he just said.

If it was a monster in the Jindan or Yuanying stage, it would be a monster that could occupy the mountains and rule as a king. How could it run to such a barren land?
It should be the late stage of foundation building. Plus, monsters are known for their physique. A powerful monster can resist the damage of magic weapons with its physique alone.

The former Qingyang County Immortal Official had good intentions when he reminded him that even if he went through great pains to resolve the tiger demon that occupied Lion Ridge, there would be no benefit, and if he was not careful, his life would still be in danger.

In addition, after the tiger demon occupied Lion Ridge, although one or two civilians would disappear from time to time, at least it was able to directly eat up all the villages around Lion Ridge without doing anything that would anger God and people.

Only then will they turn a blind eye!

"Then I'll trouble you, Immortal Officer Luo. If my life is really in danger, I must inform you immediately. You must save my life!"

Yu Die chuckled. How could she not hear the sarcasm in Luo Liang's tone? She could also see that Luo Liang was obviously not giving up.

After all, ordinary cultivators can gain endless benefits from a newly appointed mountain god.

"Master Yu..."

Zhang Chengze and Li Ping, mother and son, hurried in from outside the hall. Just as they were about to speak, they saw Luo Liang next to them. They swallowed the words that were on the tip of their tongue and greeted him, "Hello, Luo Xianguan!"

Luo Liang ignored Zhang Chengze and Li Ping, mother and son, and got up and left.

After Yu Die waited for Luo Liang to leave, she couldn't wait to ask, "Madam Li, can you tell me what conditions our Luo Xianguan offered to your late husband?"

"I won't hide it from you, my Lord..."

Li Ping didn't waste any words and told Yu Die everything Zhang Deben had said to her in his sleep.

After a long while, Yu Die listened to Li Ping's story and couldn't help laughing: "Our Luo Xianguan is really asking for too much!"

From Li Ping's narration, she knew clearly that each condition put forward by Luo Liang was more outrageous than the last. If Zhang Deben agreed to all of them, then he, the mountain god of Lion Ridge, would become Luo Liang's puppet.
