Finally, Chen Liuren told Zhang Ling about the current situation in the Chen Kingdom. There were treacherous people among the officials. After many investigations, it was found that land taxation was serious in some places. However, after careful investigation, even with his help, in the end, only some insignificant landowners were picked out. However, the officials in the capital had no way to verify the evidence, so they simply resorted to countermeasures. The soldiers searched the homes of the officials, but still found nothing. If they searched the officials repeatedly, it would be counterproductive. Therefore, the emperor Chen Liuren looked beautiful on the surface, and Chen Guoming looked wealthy, but in fact he was already rich. There were moths gnawing at the bones, and secretly there were ministers who sent people to monitor him, the king of the country.
The most important point is that Xiao Cenhe, the chief assistant, seemed to be involved, and even sent people to assassinate him with the intention of rebelling.
However, Zhang Ling walked out of the hall and immediately forgot what Chen Liuren said. What does the survival of the country have to do with Zhang Ling?
After lowering his head and thinking, Zhang Ling raised his head and looked at His Highness. In addition to Song Linjie standing there, a girl from Binting was also walking from the far side.
Walking down the stairs, Zhang Ling gradually saw the face of the girl clearly. She was ordinary in appearance, but her eyes were as pure as the sky, unstained by the turbid world. For a moment, Zhang Ling looked a little lost in thought.
And the girl didn't seem to be shy about being stared at for a long time. Instead, she took the initiative to look at Zhang Ling, suddenly stepped forward and said something, which surprised Zhang Ling: "I like you!"
Zhang Ling was stunned. Is Chen Guomin so open-minded? A girl expressed her feelings so directly, and for some reason, Zhang Ling could feel that this girl was not as sensible as others and spoke entirely from her heart.
But Zhang Ling couldn't help but ask: "Girl, this is the first time we've met. It's a bit far-fetched to say it was love at first sight, right?"
The pure-eyed girl said something again, which once again made Zhang Ling confused: "Master said that if you don't hate someone when you see him, you like him."
Zhang Ling was confused when he heard this. Song Linjie on the side also felt that these words were nonsense and said: "Then your master is probably a big liar. There is no one who doesn't dislike him but also likes him."
The girl smiled and nodded: "Maybe, but Master has never lied to me."
Song Linjie frowned and said doubtfully, "That doesn't mean you hate everyone except him when you first meet, right?"
The girl nodded again and said: "That's right, but Master is also exempted. If you are annoying, there are different degrees. For example, you just don't like it, and the person in the temple, I really want to kill him."
Hearing this, the two of them were immediately shocked. Under the clear sky, in front of the main hall, someone in the world could be so bold as to say that they wanted to kill him in front of the emperor.
Zhang Ling quickly fell silent: "Girl, are you looking for death?"
When there were boos, Zhang Lingshun looked back and unexpectedly the old eunuch walked down.
Of course, the old eunuch should have heard the girl's disrespectful words and used thunderous means to get rid of her. However, unexpectedly, when the old eunuch saw the girl, he bent down a little and said in a respectful tone: " Miss Chen, Your Majesty is in the palace, do you want to go in?"
Hearing Zhao Weizhong be so groveling to this girl, it was hard to imagine that except the emperor, who could make the chief chamberlain so humble. Moreover, after Zhang Ling detected her aura, he found that she was just an ordinary person. Is it possible? In fact, what kind of thousand-year-old demon became an immortal? Then he was old and young again, something ordinary warriors like them couldn't see.
The girl took out a small, simple bottle, shook it, and it seemed to contain a few pills, and then threw it to Zhao Weizhong. She said, "I feel annoyed when I see him. This is the pill refined by the master. Give it to him yourself.”
The old eunuch didn't say much. He seemed to have become accustomed to it, and walked back into the palace with the elixir.
After the old eunuch left, the girl turned around and said to the two of them with a smile: "Hello, my name is Chen Ke'er. I am your senior sister. You don't need to introduce me. The master is in retreat, so the candidate for the academy disciple this time is actually I picked them, so I already knew you guys.”
Song Linjie was shocked again, but Zhang Ling was carefully recalling what she said, and recalled what Li Jingqiu had said earlier that this girl should be a disciple of Tiandao Grandmaster Jing Wuchen.
Her thoughts are pure and her eyes are free of desire. She has a pure mind and does not cultivate physical skills. From this, it can be seen that she has also cultivated the way of heaven.
Those who practice the Way of Heaven are not only born different from human beings, but also need clever opportunities, and at the same time they compete for time. For example, the Confucian sect has countless disciples, and there are also many great people in the literary world. For those who seek the Way of Heaven, there are many people who practice in the world, but one sect of Heaven's Way can only There is a person who has been overtaken by the world's scholars in this life. Do all the scholars in the world have to stop? On the contrary, this made those people ready to wait until a generation of Confucian saints died, so that they could ascend to the golden stage. It sounds a bit scholarly and aggressive, but it is actually the case.
However, naturally there is more than one party, and most people in the world don't know how to follow the Tao, so there is less competition. It can be seen that it is only a matter of time before the girl in front of her achieves the way of heaven.
This makes Zhang Ling envious, and at the same time, she is confused. As she just said, that is what the old dean said. It should be because of disgust in people's hearts, so she said the word "like", but it is even more strange. Now, Zhang Ling was sure that she was not a vicious person, but she was definitely not a saint with no desires and desires, but why didn't she see that she was evil?
Zhang Ling really couldn't figure it out. Chen Ke'er suddenly caught his eye. This face was really ordinary, but it was something that people could never tire of looking at. It was not as flawless as Mingyue. The person in front of him, through her eyes, There seemed to be a comfort that struck people's hearts, making them unable to move their eyes. The latter suddenly interrupted his fantasy and asked, "Junior brother, do you want to go back to the academy together?"
Zhang Ling calmed down and said, "Song Linjie and I will go back to the Yu Mansion to pack some things."
Chen Keer walked in front alone, jumping up and down, and the two behind them stopped calling anyone and just followed him out of the palace.
On the way, Zhang Ling kept staring at Chen Ke'er again. He had never been so sincerely disgusted with a person, but when he looked at Song Linjie next to him, he was as casual as ever, not affected by him in the slightest.
So Zhang Ling asked: "Song Linjie, don't you see anything strange about her?"
Song Linjie didn't quite understand what Zhang Ling was going to say, but saw that the other person's eyes were always on Chen Ke'er, and teased: "No, isn't she just a very simple girl, what? You like it now? Don't be embarrassed, just do it Why don't I tell you something?"
Zhang Ling was too lazy to pay attention to this martial arts idiot who only knew how to practice swordsmanship. He had to think on his own. When he learned that Song Linjie was not abnormal at all, the problem was with him. From the very beginning, he looked into Chen Keer's eyes. Unknowingly, they seemed to have used secret techniques. From that moment on, the two of them seemed to be talking to each other from the bottom of their hearts instead of just talking to each other, and they couldn't bear to deceive even a single word.
