Zhang Zhiling said: "Qin became strong and prosperous, and Shang Jun and Lu Fu played the most important roles. There are still countless followers to this day, and they are indeed coveted by Ying Pei. However, this is only one of them. Do you know the other?"
Ba Qing thought for a while and said: "The second...maybe related to the martial arts of giving."
Zhang Zhiling praised: "Very few people know about this matter. The martial arts practiced by Shi Jiao is called the magical skill of grafting trees. It means grafting flowers and grafting trees. This skill is very strange. Even if a practitioner is successful, he can only use half of his skill. However, If you pass it on to others, it can be used 120% of the time. I think Yingpei took a fancy to this miraculous skill."
Ba Qing's eyes flashed strangely: "The Governor is so aware?"
Zhang Zhiling chuckled: "When I took the title of Prime Minister of Qin, I had a lot of dealings with Shang Jun and Lu Fu, and I knew a little bit about the secrets of their sects. But I really know this because I have a good manager."
Ba Qing smiled: "The Chief of Bliss is indeed a spy. The magical skill of Jie Mu was once transferred to Shang Jun and Lu Fu, causing Shi Jiao to lose his legs and unable to walk. After decades of hard training, although the magical skill was once again great, he could no longer Restore martial arts damage. It’s just that Ying Peiruo is worried about Shi Jiao’s skills, and he’s afraid that Shi Jiao’s old life should be taken care of.”
Zhang Zhiling said: "That's true. However, Yingpei suffered enough from his lack of cultivation in the confrontation with Wushuang, and he is determined to win. However, how can Shi Jiao easily marry others? Therefore, becoming a disciple is the only choice."
Ba Qing said: "Giving a lifetime of hard work is the inheritance of the Za family. Shang and Jun are both deceased. The only one who has the ability to fulfill this wish for him is Ying Pei. Everyone gets what he needs."
Zhang Zhiling said: "Yes, with this magical power, Yingpei will instantly become a saint, and even reach the peak of the Great Sage. If he has excellent qualifications and can exert his twelve successful powers, he may not be unable to fight against Wushuang."
Ba Qing sighed softly: "The world is really big and full of wonders. There are such miraculous achievements in the world, but you have spent your whole life in vain, making wedding clothes for others."
Zhang Zhiling said: "These two people must have been planning for a long time, and they are winning... In the end, they are still unwilling to be lonely."
Ba Qing said: "This is exactly what Qing wants to talk to you. My master just returned, and Qing unexpectedly learned that the person he was talking about was actually Shi Jiao."
Zhang Zhiling was a little surprised: "Your master and Shi are Taoist friends?"
Ba Qing said: "I didn't know before that the master had never mentioned this person. During this discussion, the master felt that Shi Jiao was a bit strange, and his luck was bright and extinguished. The master speculated that either the end was approaching, or he was contaminated with the great luck. , can’t bear it.”
Zhang Zhiling said: "Shi Jiao must know that you have taken refuge with my disciple. Why did you go to see the master? Aren't you afraid of leaking it?"
"I think I was worried about it. Master said that his words were unclear, always tactful, and seemed to have something on his mind. Master said that what he talked about most was the theory of the alternation of yin and yang and the five elements. It was not like discussing Taoism, but more like discussing martial arts. If Qing's guess is correct, he took such a risk to meet his master, it should be based on the theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements, and completed the transfer of flowers and trees."
Zhang Zhiling said slowly: "So, they are speeding up certain things. This is why you came to see me."
Ba Qing nodded: "With the status of these two people, they must have a big plan. His Majesty and the Lord are not here, so Qing hopes to take precautions as soon as possible."
Zhang Zhiling said: "You have cooperated with Yingpei for several years and have a deep understanding of his actions. If you feel something is wrong, it must be weird."
Ba Qing said: "I just don't know what these two people are plotting. If the empress or the master is here, they should be able to see something."
Zhang Zhiling smiled faintly: "Madam, you are one of the three wise men in the world. Although she may not be as resourceful as my evil disciple, she is much higher than other people in the world. Just be more confident and just go ahead and do it. I will take care of myself. I’ll protect you.”
Ba Qing cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Governor."
Zhang Zhiling said: "One more thing. Do you think it was an accident that His Majesty did not return and that boy suddenly went out?"
Ba Qing shook his head: "There is no coincidence in the eyes of a wise man. Although it does seem to be accidental, I have a clear intuition that there is much to it."
Zhang Zhiling said: "This is what you should investigate. I have taken over Lishan and have many affairs. It is impossible for me to help you all the time, but I can recommend someone."
Ba Qing smiled: "No wonder you are always called the master's teacher. You know that your subordinates are here to borrow people."
At this time, a voice came from behind the screen: "Governor, I have been ordered by the Lord not to leave Lishan Mountain."
At the same time, a capable woman with a high crown and white clothes came out from behind and saluted the two of them.
It was Shangguan Wanru back then and Shangguan Wan'er now.
Zhang Zhiling chuckled: "Since he allowed you to take over as the general manager of Lishan, that order has been invalidated. He told me that if anything happens, he can let you go."
Shangguan Wan'er then smiled slightly, cupped her hands and said, "Shangguan Wan'er obeys the order."
Zhang Zhiling said: "There is no need for your Thirty-Eight Bliss Masters to be idle. You can make your own arrangements."
Shangguan Wan'er said with a smile: "Lishan's defense is impregnable. Only half of them Lishan secret guards have something to do, and the other half are worried that they have no place to display their talents."
Ba Qing said: "Thank you very much. Then I'll ask my sister to take care of me."
Shangguan Wan'er said: "Serve my lord, Wan'er has done the things that are within her duty, Mrs. Qing doesn't need to say thank you."
Zhang Zhiling brushed his beard and said, "In this case, I will see how you deal with Ying Pei."
Ba Qing and Shangguan Wan'er smiled at each other and left the Governor's Mansion hand in hand.
They left, and Mr. Tian appeared in front of Zhang Zhiling.
He just had a hoe on his shoulder and his shoes were covered in mud, like an old farmer who had just returned from the fields.
"I want people and money."
Zhang Zhiling couldn't help but laugh: "Old worshipper, if you don't come, you won't come. If you come, you will need money and people."
"Many crops introduced from the Western Regions have proven feasible. Now that the season has come, we need to expand production scale and obtain more improved varieties."
Zhang Zhiling asked him to sit down and poured a cup of tea with his own hands: "This is a major event that benefits the country and the people. I will handle it for you later, as much as you want. But it is enough for the minister to come here, so how can I pay you back?" Labor your great sacrifice?"
Tian Yuan said slowly: "I was more anxious than him, so I came here while I had time."
Then he took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms: "Write everything you need on it."
Zhang Zhiling picked it up, looked at it, nodded and said, "The problem is not big, it can be solved within a day."
Tian Yuan nodded. He was always taciturn, but Zhang Zhiling could clearly see that there was unconcealable excitement on the face of this old farmer.
"Are those crops really what he said?"
Tian Yuan said: "I have done better than anyone else. This son's contribution will last for generations to come."
Zhang Zhiling knew that Tian Yuan would never talk nonsense, and he was very happy at the moment: "Okay, okay, I haven't heard such good news in decades. So... you will probably not leave Lishan."
Tian Yuan was silent for a moment: "Wherever the thick soil does not bury people, my old bones should also be three feet away from the fertile Lishan Mountain."
