Marquis Gao Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it useful?"
To communicate, of course, we use the communication talisman array left by Baini. However... didn't Baini keep trying, but was always rejected? Could it be that it works if they try?
And, in what capacity?
Bai Ni only said that communication was possible, but did not leave any specific method of communication. Who knows that it’s not because someone has a special communication code and they know it’s one of them, but they’re just being rejected? What should I do if not only I don’t get a response when communicating with someone else, but I’m also treated with hostility by the other person?
Zhang Rong said thoughtfully: "Do you think you and the Golden Crow Sword have similar sword intentions, and maybe you can gain trust through this?"
Not only is it similar, Tang Zhao actually inherited part of the Golden Crow Sword. Of course, this was related to his own strength, and he did not elaborate on it.
Tang Zhao said: "If it is the Golden Crow Sword, it has two possibilities for existence. One is that it is as wise as a human being and has a clear consciousness. Then I will send more information here to it, explain the reasons, and ask it to care about the common people. Give me a response and discuss how to solve the current difficulties together. I think Dongjun’s successor must not be a bad person and should be moved by his sincerity.”
Both Gao Yuanhou and Zhang Rong thought: This may not be the case. How can the quality of a person be used to distinguish swords?
But since Tang Zhao said this, you can always give it a try.
Tang Zhao added: "There is another possibility. It has no intelligence and only has chaotic consciousness. Then we have to try the similarities between me and it. Can I get close to it and let it vaguely accept me and attract me? In the past. I had an intuition that it should be able. If it didn't have wisdom, it might be more approachable."
After all, it is half of the same origin. Maybe Tang Zhao can get close to it and control it?
If he could master the Golden Crow Sword, let alone doing anything big in the future, the current crisis in Yunzhou could at least be solved.
Both Gao Yuanhou and Zhang Rong felt that he was a bit wishful thinking. To put it bluntly, Yangguang and Yangyang were just two unrelated sword elephants. They couldn't be recognized just because they looked alike, right?
But at this point, we should try any method. This method costs nothing, and it won’t be dangerous if you are careful. Why don’t you give it a try?
Gao Yuanhou nodded.
Tang Zhao said: "Then let me try..."
Zhang Rong said hurriedly: "Wait a minute - are you just trying it here?"
Tang Zhao said: "I have been thinking about the formation all the way. I have already thought of a way to activate the formation. I am 80% sure to connect it..."
Marquis Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "Eighty percent is not enough. It needs to be foolproof. And what did you say after you thought about it? How to show sincerity? Do you need to offer a gift? How to gain trust?"
Tang Zhao said: "It's not that I haven't thought about it..."
Having said that, Tang Zhao also calmed down - communicating in the cabin was indeed careless. After all, they are not Baini, and they may only have one chance to contact each other. If they fail, the other party may not give them the chance.
Marquis Gao Yuan said: "In the end, I'm sure you will be responsible for communication, but you need to make more preparations. Let's prepare more gifts, and our words need to be well drafted. You can discuss it with Mr. Zhang."
Tang Zhao also nodded. Although this was a bit hesitant, the greater the stakes, the more caution was needed.
He said seriously: "Actually, I have another idea. After all, this formation is a hundred years old. If it has failed, we can't give up approaching the sword. I'll try to go down directly from the Tongyang River to find it. "
Gao Yuanhou condensed his eyes and shouted: "Nonsense! How can this happen? The sword is like a sword fairy, close to the gods! Its power can cover Yunzhou and keep the water of Tongyang River warm for hundreds of years. How can you approach it at will? This is not flying A moth to a flame? Do you think you can do anything if you become a swordsman?"
Tang Zhao asked: "If I can't do it, who else can?"
Marquis Gao Yuan was speechless for a moment, and Tang Zhao said: "I passed through the Tongyang River and felt the surging power. That is the power of the sun. Although it is powerful, I am not afraid of it. It can hurt Yunzhou, but it cannot hurt me. Yun Yunzhou is my hometown again. Isn’t this the case? I’ll go down and get close to it. If I can save Yunzhou from a big disaster, that would be great. If it doesn’t work, I can be considered a scout and I can touch the sword. I will give you the true power as a reference. Then I will use all the power of Yunzhou to fight with the sword."
Neither Gao Yuanhou nor Zhang Rong spoke. Tang Zhao only talked about the benefits and did not mention the dangers. In fact, he had the consciousness to sacrifice his life for righteousness. He might not even get close to the sword, and he might be annihilated by the sword without having any effect.
But this is a feasible method. As the lord of a state, he is responsible for the safety of the people. Gao Yuanhou should not reject this proposal, but his heart is a little heavy.
Zhang Rong could only sigh and said: "For now, communication with formations is still the first choice. If communication is not possible, let's talk about it. I might be offended if I dive rashly, but I have to do it as a last resort."
Tang Zhao said: "This is natural."
The three of them were silent at the same time. After a while, Tang Zhao changed the subject and said: "Junhou, Miss Ling is Bai Yujing's envoy. She is here this time. She wants to discuss with Yunzhou how to deal with the two mountains." After that, he asked Bai Hu to come down. Change the topic to the next one.
Marquis Gao Yuan had a lot of things going on in front of him now. When he heard about Gangliang Mountain, he felt baffled and not interested at all. However, he still had to give face to the Sword Immortal Messenger and said: "Gongliang Mountain is the darkest place in the world, and I am not interested at all." I have long wanted to eradicate it. What suggestions does the immortal envoy have?"
Ling Baoyu said: "That's it. We, Bai Yujing, have enmity with Zong Liangshan, we also have enmity with Yong Ye Ting, and you have enmity with Yong Ye Ting's helpers in the world. We all share the same hatred and hatred. Moreover, we want to see Dong Jun in the same way. Yes, we have the same purpose, maybe we can try to join forces?"
She briefly said that she had companions who were trapped in Wangliang Mountain and needed to rely on Dongjun's power, and Dongjun was under Yunzhou, so she didn't talk about the long-term fight against the enemy in Wangliangshan, at least in terms of their immediate purpose. They are unanimous - completely invite Dong Jun out safely from Yunzhou down.
"For this matter, if you need any help from us, please feel free to ask."
Marquis Gao Yuan became interested and said, "It would be great to have the help of an immortal envoy."
…
The big boat floated on the river for an hour, and the commander of the Prosecution Department and Xing Ji also served as guards for an hour. The two of them were loose on the outside and tight on the inside. They did not stand like door gods. Instead, they seemed to be watching the scenery. They chatted with each other. Even if someone recognized the two of them, they would at most think that the two adults had a good personal relationship and were actually interested in traveling together on the boat. , I never expected that the real important person was still in the cabin.
Since it was a casual chat, they naturally stopped talking about business matters and only talked about light topics, which inevitably got involved in Tang Zhao who had just boarded the ship.
Commander Gongsun then asked Xing Ji, "Is that child the son of your relative or an old friend?"
Xing Ji smiled and said: "No, how can my old Xing family have such good feng shui? Every one of them has accumulated virtue, and if another one comes out, don't burn down the ancestral grave. It's a child I met on the road, just by chance. "
Commander Gongsun asked curiously: "Really? I remember you went to great lengths to get him into the inspection department. You ran up and down. I thought you were a close nephew, but you weren't?"
Xing Ji said: "It wasn't true at first, but it is now. When I took another look at him on the road, I felt that he was really different and would become a great person in the future. At that time, I made up my mind to help him. As long as someone gives him a pair of wings, he can fly to the sky. Anyway, I can't see the future of this child clearly."
With a hint of fascination, he added: "You must have felt the same way when you first met me, right?"
Commander Gongsun felt goosebumps when he heard this, and took a step back without leaving a trace, fearing that someone would hear his words and see the two of them standing together, misunderstanding that they were in the same group.
With a slight cough, he changed the subject and said: "Yes, Xiao Xing, you have contributed a lot. Although you left the Prosecution Department, you still left behind valuable talents. It happened that the position of inspector left for you was occupied. Actually, I would like to keep him by my side to study for a few more years..."
Xingji immediately said: "Wait a minute, Commander, I want to take Tang Zhao away. It happens that the Xishan Division needs manpower for its initial construction. I have already informed Jun Ming to let him be my deputy to go to Lingzhou to suppress the bandits..."
Commander Gongsun immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "What? Come with you? Can your small temple hold so many Bodhisattvas? Xingji, the Director of the Prosecution Department treats you very well. As for your new yamen, we are the ones poaching As a member of your own family, who will care about you in other yamen? Whenever you want people or money, your brothers will support you with their own money. As a result, you not only poach your own corner, but also tear down our pillars. Are you worthy of the District Procuratorate?"
He was furious, and in the blink of an eye Xing Ji changed from a hero of the Prosecution Department to a scoundrel.
Xing Ji said with a playful smile: "Calm down, don't get so angry. Besides, this is a matter decided by the prince, so there's no point in being angry? At worst, I'll give you a few more people, one for two. Come on, for your sake One for three, I will suffer a big loss!"
Commander Gongsun scolded: "You little..."
At this time, the door rang, the cabin opened, and Marquis Gao Yuan came out, with a solemn look on his face: "Xingji."
Xingji immediately straightened his face and crossed his hands and said, "Here you are."
Marquis Gao Yuan handed him a piece of paper and said: "Go and call the people on the list for a meeting at the Xuanjing Pavilion in Jiandi Si in two hours. You can watch it in person. There must be no less people on it, and no more irrelevant people. , not even an irrelevant fly is allowed to fly in within a hundred feet radius."
Xingji said yes again and turned to leave.
Marquis Gao Yuan remembered something and said, "By the way, I said before that Tang Zhao would go with you to suppress the bandits, but now I'm afraid that won't be possible for the time being."
Xingji's expression changed slightly and he said: "Your Majesty..."
Marquis Gao Yuan did not allow him to say any more and said: "Go to the Jiadi Department to find Tang Zhao a military attaché uniform of the third grade, and ask him to put it on this time."
Commander Gongsun was beaming when he heard that Marquis Gao Yuan refused to be punished. Then he suddenly shuddered and said: "Junhou, do you want to wait for the third rank? Is it just right to wait for Xiaotang to make another contribution? There is no deputy commander in the Prosecution Department. The lack of…”
Although strength is now linked to official position, and becoming a swordsman will definitely lead to a promotion, starting from the third level is too high. The Inspector of the Prosecution and District Department is a fourth-grade official position, which is also held by swordsmen. Even many veteran swordsmen with outstanding achievements have served in the position of Inspector for many years.
Above the Inspectorate, there are only deputy commanders and a few honorary positions at the same level starting from the third rank. Those honorary positions are generally provided for the retirement of meritorious veterans. Those who can be deputy commanders are all based on merit, qualifications, and reputation. Only when you have reached a certain level can you be competent. If you let a young boy like Tang Zhao do it, you might be dissatisfied with it.
Moreover, the third rank is the limit of the official positions that Marquis Gao Yuan can appoint, and the commanders of the third rank need to be appointed by the court at least nominally. In other words, this appointment means that Marquis Gao Yuan has no title to Tang Zhao, and Tang Zhao You're still so young and you still have a long way to go. It's not good for anyone to be promoted too early, isn't it?
Marquis Gao Yuan said calmly: "He has made great achievements, and he will soon have another great achievement that will shine through the annals of history, but it will not be made public for the time being."
If Tang Zhao can communicate with the sword, it can only solve Yunzhou's great disaster. A mere third grade is not enough to commend him. If he cannot, he will probably be sacrificed. Then this grade is a posthumous gift, and it is common sense to have a higher grade.
She continued: "Tang Zhao will not stay in the Prosecution Department. There is no need to consider the vacancy of deputy commander. He stays with me now, and in the future... he will go where he wants."
