Lin Ji was not flying in the air, but his steps were not slow.
Unknowingly, he had been walking in the direction of Fanyun City for more than an hour.
When he came, he deliberately kept Feiyun Sect and his party away before taking action, just because he didn't want to provoke other monks in Fanyun City who were full and looking for death.
"I got the Thunder Cloud Bead, but I can't stay in Yunzhou for long." Lin Ji secretly thought in his heart.
If it's just before, that's all. His feud with Feiyun Sect wasn't too big.
But the natural treasure is enough to provoke Taoist realm to take action.
Even if he did not leave any room for killing, a Taoist monk would not give any reason for taking action.
Comparatively speaking, if you are a monk who has entered Taoism, and you are provoked several times by a junior who travels day-to-day, that junior still has a treasure in your hands.
Lin Ji thought to himself that the young man had to lose face and take action, and in the name of regaining his position, he committed murder and seized treasure.
"The trip to Yunzhou is over. When I return to the capital, there is nothing the Holy Fire Sect can do to me."
Thought in his mind, Lin Ji still had some doubts to be answered after all.
"Why did Qin Jinsong take action against me? No matter what the plan is, or he is actually connected with the Holy Fire Sect, this is too outrageous."
"He is from the Qin family. Even if he is not favored at home...but Jiuzhou is still the Qin family's territory. Is he going to be full?"
Lin Ji couldn't understand.
In addition, there is his father-in-law Lu Nanting.
At this time, recalling the scene of interrogating Zhang Jing, he finally realized that Lu Nanting had reminded him at that time and asked him why he killed the person without asking for details.
At that time, Lin Ji prevaricated and said it didn't matter.
"It turns out that I had already been tricked at that time. Lao Lu obviously saw it, but he didn't point it out."
"You're just praising me for being so sophisticated, old guy!" Lin Ji felt itchy when he thought about it now.
Of course, I just complained in my heart. Anyway, the grievances I suffered in Yunzhou will be recovered from the old man's daughter in the future.
Lin Ji thought of Shen Long again.
"So Beishuang and his group were able to pass through Yunzhou and enter Jingzhou safely. Is it because of Qin Jinsong's secret care... If the Yizhou town official wants to help them pass the customs, he only needs to say a word, and his subordinates will naturally handle it. It couldn't be simpler."
"What is the connection between Mr. Shen and the Holy Fire Sect? Did he have contact with the Holy Fire when he was young like me? But how did he peel off the Holy Fire? Is it possible that he has really met the senior leaders of the Holy Fire Sect?"
Lin Ji remembered clearly what Zhang Jing said at that time.
If you go to the Holy Fire Sect in order to strip away the Holy Fire, you can get what you want, but you must also be loyal to the Holy Fire Sect.
At that time, Lin Ji asked how to ensure loyalty, but Zhang Jing vowed that they would find a way.
"So Shen Long is really from the Holy Fire Cult? But this is too ridiculous."
Thinking of this, Lin Ji wanted to leave Yunzhou more and more.
There are some things that I can't figure out after thinking about them. It's better to meet Shen Long in the future and ask him face to face.
It is best to meet at the Jiantiansi General Office.
...
early morning.
The white fish belly in the east heralds the arrival of a new day.
Snowflakes were falling in the sky, but the cold winter months in Yunzhou came earlier and stayed longer than in the south.
Lin Ji crossed his hands on his chest and walked into Fanyun City with a head full of snowflakes on show.
As soon as he returned to the city and took no more than two steps, someone took the initiative to greet him.
"Mr. Lin, the city lord invites you." He is a servant of the city lord's mansion.
Lin Ji grinned, not surprised.
"Lead the way."
Soon, Lin Ji arrived at the city lord's mansion and was led all the way to the meeting hall that he had been to before.
Seeing Lin Ji appear, Qi Ducheng stood up and saluted, and Qi Ning on the side did the same.
After seeing the ceremony, Qi Ducheng sent away the servants waiting in the hall, closed the door tightly, and even set up a soundproof formation.
Seeing the other party's fanfare, Lin Ji became more and more interested.
"What does City Lord Qi want to say to Lin?"
"Thunder Cloud Pearl..."
"It's in the hands of Lin." Lin Ji said calmly, "If the Qi family has returned to the city, Lin will offer the treasure with both hands; if the senior Qi family is not here, then don't talk about it, let alone try to keep Lin. .”
Qi Ducheng smiled bitterly.
"I don't dare. The power of Mr. Lin's sword last night really opened Qi's eyes."
When he said this, Qi Ducheng's eyes flashed with fear.
He sent people to investigate last night, and after hearing the news, he went to the scene to see it again.
"The Evil God"
Unlike Lin Ji, who walked slowly and leisurely, he hurried on with all his strength and naturally came back early.
But the scene left by Lin Ji's sword was enough to shock him for a long time.
"Hey, you sent someone to follow me?" Lin Ji was a little surprised, "I didn't even notice it."
"He is a retainer of the house and is proficient in concealment."
"I see." Lin Ji nodded and asked, "Since Senior Qi is not here, what are you going to say when you call me here?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Ducheng stood up and bowed to Lin Ji.
"City Lord Qi, what are you doing?" Lin Ji stood up and moved half of his body.
"Of course there is no need for Qi to explain the preciousness of the Thunder Cloud Bead. I just hope that Mr. Lin can help my Qi family in times of crisis in the future."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ji suddenly burst into laughter.
"When I asked you for clues earlier, you were all prevaricating. Now that you have the Lei Yunzhu, you come to me to ask for favors? City Lord Qi, this is too..."
Qi Ducheng is worthy of being the lord of Fanyun City, but he doesn't worry about things that cause him to lose face.
"It's not that Lord Lin's action was in vain. Our Qi family has been operating in Fanyun City for hundreds of years, so we can naturally provide a reward that satisfies Lord Lin...even if Lord Lin becomes a Taoist in the future."
Qi Ducheng said this very eloquently, and it seemed that he was indeed quite confident in his family's wealth.
But Lin Ji thought deeper.
"Why, is Senior Qi's situation not good?"
Qi Ducheng nodded slightly.
He no longer wanted to be shy, he made it clear that he wanted to be honest with Lin Ji.
"Why are you looking for me? I may not be able to enter the Tao in the future."
"If even Master Lin cannot enter the Tao, then I'm afraid there will be no new monks in the world."
"Thank you for your consideration." Lin Ji bowed his hand in a perfunctory manner, "There should be some casual monks in Yunzhou..."
"We don't trust the people of Yunzhou, and what we want is not just to enter the Tao." Qi Ducheng replied.
Hearing this, Lin Ji laughed dumbly, he understood.
"Do you want to defect to Supervisor Tiansi?"
"Although Fanyun City is not as good as Tianjing City, there are many monks from all sides. Over the past hundreds of years, Supervisor Tiansi has tried to intervene in Fanyun City several times, but all failed." Qi Ducheng lowered his eyebrows.
"If even the city lord is a member of Supervisor Tiansi..."
Lin Ji waved his hand to prevent him from continuing.
"I can't make the decision on this matter, so I've just agreed. It's not a bad thing for me. But I'll have to wait until I meet Mr. Fang after I return to Beijing before I can have an accurate confirmation."
Qi Ducheng pulled Qi Ning and bowed to the end again.
"There is Lord Laurin."
