In the third year of Shengyuan, it was the seventh day of the first lunar month.
A few days have passed since the incident in the mountains outside Beijing.
Lin Ji has been in Beijing these past few days and has never gone to the general office as an errand. Instead, he has stayed at home to repair the hidden dangers in his soul.
Mainly because Lu Zhaoer came to the house every day to keep an eye on her, and Lin Ji couldn't even go out for a walk.
At noon, Lin Ji walked out of the house.
In the garden, Lu Zhaoer sat facing the warm winter sun, wearing a long white dress, holding the kitten in her arms and stroking it from time to time.
Lin Ji couldn't bear to break this scene.
But then, he discovered that the kitten seemed honest, but its eyes were always fixed somewhere in the garden.
That's where the purple ghost ginseng's hair comes out.
Seeing Lin Ji appear, Lu Zhaoer did not speak, but cast a concerned look.
"It's healed." Lin Ji responded with a reassuring smile.
"That's good." Lu Zhaoer nodded, let go of the kitten, and let it run away.
Lin Ji ignored it, sat down next to Lu Zhaoer, and asked, "It's noon, what do you want to eat?"
tomato
"You don't have time to cook." Lu Zhaoer shook his head.
"how?"
"Someone from the general office just came, saying that Mr. Fang wants to see you."
"When did you say it was?"
"I'll let you go as soon as you get out of seclusion."
Hearing this, Lin Ji smiled bitterly, stood up and said, "It's really a hard life, and I've only been free for a few days."
"Things have their own priorities." Lu Zhaoer seems to have long been accustomed to it. As a well-known star of the general office, she has been traveling around all year round and has traveled almost everywhere in Kyushu.
Lin Ji's busyness was nothing to her.
"If you come back early, you can prepare some fire fish from last time." Lu Zhaoer added.
Lin Ji nodded and said, "How do you want to eat it? Steamed, braised, dry, stir-fried, fried, whatever you want."
"Look at it, I won't pick it."
"Okay, then you wait until I come back."
After saying goodbye to Lu Zhaoer, Lin Ji quickly arrived at the main office.
As soon as he walked into the gate of Jiantiansi General Office, the policeman at the door told Lin Ji to go directly to Mr. Fang. It seemed that he had said hello in advance.
When Lin Ji arrived at Fang Yunshan's study, the door opened automatically before he could knock on the door.
Fang Yunshan walked out of it.
"Follow me into the palace."
Lin Ji was stunned and quickly followed Fang Yunshan.
"Enter the palace?"
"You did a good job on this mission and made the name of Supervisor Tiansi famous. His Majesty Long Yan Dayue said that he would personally reward you." Fang Yunshan said.
Lin Ji didn't care much about this.
"The lower official is not interested in things outside of himself."
The main reason is that he doesn't want to deal with Pei Di and feels uncomfortable.
The two of them left the Chief Office of Supervisor Tiansi together.
There was no sedan prepared outside the Yamen, so Fang Yunshan was obviously preparing to leave on his legs.
"It can be seen that the matter in Weizhou still owes you a treasure from the royal treasury. You have been in the capital for a long time, but you have never mentioned this matter."
Fang Yunshan glanced at Lin Ji.
"You are really calm. There are many treasures in the royal treasury that even I would be jealous of."
Lin Ji smiled and said nothing.
I can't answer this. Could it be that he is extremely talented and uses almost no resources to practice, so he naturally doesn't care much about things outside his body?
This was said out of sheer pretense. Pretending in front of others was nothing, but pretending in front of Fang Yunshan was just looking for bad luck.
"Entering the palace this time means just a few words to make a scene, and then get the benefits, it's that simple, you don't have to be nervous." Fang Yunshan smiled, "It can be seen that you don't like to deal with the Qin family, which is a good thing. "
"A good thing?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows.
Fang Yunshan's speech has become more and more immodest recently, always with a hint of advice.
Lin Ji felt more and more that Fang Yunshan seemed to have a sense of separation from Jian Tiansi, or from Da Qin.
The first time he met Fang Yunshan was two years ago when Lin Ji went to the Ghost King's City in Liangzhou and brought out the evil body of the evil Buddha behind him. Fang Yunshan finally took action to repel it.
At that time, Lin Ji's impression of Fang Yunshan was that he was still the mainstay of the Tianjian Division and was meticulous.
But since Gao Qunshu rebelled and Fang Yunshan came to power, he seems to be no longer the pure Youtianguan he was two years ago.
But this was just Lin Ji's own speculation. He couldn't ask such words out loud, he could only think about it in his mind.
Soon, the two of them arrived outside the palace.
Fang Yunshan showed his token, and the palace guards at the door quickly moved out of the way.
Lin Ji watched from the side and was also attracted by the token in Fang Yunshan's hand.
After just two glances, Fang Yunshan threw the token to Lin Ji.
Lin Ji quickly reached out to catch it.
"grown ups..."
"Curious?" Fang Yunshan asked casually.
"Yes, this is also the first time that Xianguan has seen the token of the second-grade You Tianguan."
Lin Ji gently rubbed the token in his hand. The token was less than the size of a palm and the color of pure gold, but Lin Ji could feel that it was not gold, but some kind of precious material that he did not recognize.
The word "天" is engraved on the front of the token. It is the Tianzi token of the second-grade You Tianguan, and it is also the highest level identity token of Supervisor Tiansi.
Further up, there is the head of the Tiantian Division.
The boss does not have a token, but a large seal called the Supervising Heaven Seal.
Lin Ji heard that the Supervising Heaven Seal was a Taoist artifact that was also related to the fate of the Qin Dynasty. Like the Demon Suppressing Tower, it was an important weapon for the country.
After returning the token, Lin Ji asked: "Sir, are the positions of Supervisor Tiansi too few?"
"Why did you ask so?"
This is also the confusion that Lin Ji just thought of.
"Just talking about the fourth-grade commander-in-chief, the subordinate officer is in charge of the commander-in-chief. Everything is decided by the subordinate officer... But the other fourth-grade colleagues also hold the official position of commander-in-chief, but they do not hold real power or management. The rest of the business..."
Before Lin Ji could finish speaking, Fang Yunshan shook his head and interrupted.
"I got you."
Fang Yunshan turned his head to look at Lin Ji, and asked with a chuckle: "Do you think... the monks from the Supervisory Tiansi will care about this?"
Lin Ji was startled.
"This is based on the cultivation of the national destiny of the Great Qin. Each grade will receive corresponding feedback. The official position is not important, the grade is important. Moreover, this is the rule of Supervisor Tiansi for thousands of years, and it is a rule recognized by the Jiuzhou Earth Line."
This was said so loudly that Lin Ji was just confused when he heard it.
Fang Yunshan continued: "So the Supervisor Tiansi can only have one chief and three Youtian officials...Lin Ji, do you think that such a big Supervisor Tiansi can only have so many Taoists?"
"Of course not."
Fang Yunshan nodded.
"If you serve as Youtianguan, your luck will be connected to the fate of the Qin Dynasty. This may be good or bad, but for most people, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."
"Three You Tianguan share the national fortune of the second grade. This is already the limit. Any more will not be worth the loss."
Lin Ji suddenly realized.
"So there are only nine officials in the third-grade town. If there are more officials, they will share the luck of the official position?"
"exactly."
