The saying that those who know the current affairs are heroes are vividly reflected in Xiaoying.
Ever since she used her soul to provoke Lin Ji beyond her capabilities and was backlashed, she decisively chose to give in.
After standing up, he took two steps back and bowed deeply to Lin Ji.
"Earlier, Xiaoying was too blind to recognize Mount Tai. I hope Uncle Lin can forgive me."
This attitude of accepting punishment made Lin Ji feel uncomfortable, so he could only wave his hand casually.
"I didn't take it to heart."
Shen Long on the side had a smile in his eyes. Seeing that Lin Ji really had no intention of pursuing the matter, he took out another pill and threw it to Xiaoying.
This time Xiaoying did not take it directly, but put it away and stayed aside.
"She has just broken through the night tour, and you are giving her pills again. Aren't you afraid that her foundation will be unstable?" Lin Ji asked from the side.
"It doesn't matter, this girl is different." Shen Long explained casually, but did not elaborate.
Hearing this, Lin Ji didn't intend to ask further questions.
To be accepted as a disciple by Shen Long, there must be something unusual about this girl Xiaoying.
It's just that this is someone else's secret, and it's not easy for Lin Ji to find out.
Seeing Shen Long this time, knowing the causes and consequences of Shen Long and the Holy Fire Sect, and solving the hidden dangers of the Holy Fire, Lin Ji felt that he had reached perfection.
"Where will Mr. Shen go next?" Lin Ji asked, having nothing to say.
Originally it was just a casual chat, but who would have thought that Shen Long would sigh slightly.
"Hey, I'm going to Yunzhou."
"Going to Yunzhou?"
"The cold winter has passed. You just came back from Yunzhou not long ago, so you should know the situation there." Shen Long said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ji thought for a moment and quickly reacted.
"Master Shen is talking about barbarians?"
"Yes, the Northern Barbarians have gathered a lot of soldiers and horses, moving closer to the northern border of Yunzhou... I think they will go south to fight against Yunzhou's Zhenbei Army in the near future."
When talking about this matter, even if he is as open-minded as Shen Long, he still has a sad look on his face.
"Today's Supervisor Tiansi is distracted. You may not be able to feel it in Beijing, but if you often go out on errands, you should be able to notice something... It has not been long since the world has been stable in all nine states, and the foreign invasion has been gone for less than a year. Internal worries will come one after another, which is difficult."
Lin Ji was noncommittal. He always ignored matters that had nothing to do with him.
He could hear the sadness in Shen Long's words.
It's nothing more than the evil Buddha's suppression of the demon tower, and the later Victoria Tantric Sect.
Of these two things, the former created the current chaos in Kyushu; although the latter seemed to have calmed down the weakness of Qin in Weizhou for thousands of years, it eventually dispersed the power of Jian Tiansi.
Zi Qing, one of the three Youtianguan, stayed in Weizhou for a long time after the incident and did not return to Beijing until now.
Not long ago, Lin Ji also learned that the position of Weizhou Town Official was still vacant.
"There are cases in the following states where the local Yamen of Jiantiansi obey orders but do not listen to propaganda. Let's not talk about distant places, just Liangzhou, which borders Jingzhou... Now that Zhan Chengfeng's order has passed, the people below are doing their jobs three times. Seven points perfunctory...let alone the further places."
Speaking of this, Shen Long seemed to notice Lin Ji's absent-mindedness.
He knew Lin Ji's temperament, so the topic stopped here.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Shen Long picked up the tea cup on the table and drank it all in one gulp, "Brother Lin, I will leave for Yunzhou tomorrow."
"Master Shen is going to Yunzhou to take charge?"
"Yes, we must always be on guard against the Holy Fire Sect's entrants. The sects in Yunzhou can't count on them, and with You Tianguan in charge, it can also boost the morale of the Zhenbei Army."
"There is also the Qi family in Fanyun City in Yunzhou. As a result of your mediation in Yunzhou, the Qi family has now made it clear that they have surrendered to Jiantiansi. However, this matter has also caused dissatisfaction among many sects in Yunzhou. "
Lin Ji suddenly realized.
"Brother Shen is here to support the Qi family and stabilize Fanyun City."
"Absolutely." Shen Long nodded.
These matters can be regarded as the top priority of Supervisor Tiansi and are generally not disclosed easily.
But Lin Ji was a party involved, and his status was sufficient, so Shen Long didn't bother to hide it in front of Lin Ji.
Having said this, Shen Long's eyes suddenly fell on Xiaoying beside him.
"Brother Lin, I need your help with something."
Lin Ji responded quickly: "Master Shen, please speak."
"I heard that you have an old relationship with the Qingcheng Sect in Liangzhou?"
Lin Ji's expression froze.
He really didn't know how to respond.
Are you saying it has nothing to do with the Qingcheng Sect?
Qingyang County is only a few dozen miles away from Qinghua Mountain. Most of the Qingcheng Sect disciples on the mountain who want to be born and experience their training will start in Qingyang County.
When Lin Ji was the head catcher in Qingyang County, two of his subordinates, Guo Yi and Lingyin, were from the Qingcheng faction.
Later, he also dealt with the elders of the Qingcheng Sect.
But is it related to the Qingcheng Sect?
When Lin Ji was in Qingyang County, he was just a small headhunter in the spiritual realm, and he was not qualified to be taken seriously by the Qingcheng sect.
"Sir, I have only had some interactions with the Qingcheng faction, but I don't have much friendship." Lin Ji thought for a while and replied.
Shen Long asked curiously: "Haven't you been a head catcher in Qingyang County for a long time? You, a local snake, are not familiar with the local sect?"
"The Qingcheng sect has a great cause, so how can they care about me, a little catcher?" Lin Ji shook his head and laughed, "Although the Qingcheng sect is not very powerful, the talisman inheritance in the sect is quite famous in Kyushu. They don't want to compete with the imperial court. There are too many implications.”
Hearing this, Shen Long thought about it and found that this was true.
Some sects take the initiative to get involved with the local Tiantiansi for the sake of profit. As for how to collect profits, there are too many ways.
But the Qingcheng faction is different.
Their talismans sell well across the country and are hard to come by.
There is no shortage of the people's fat and the people's ointment, which are three melons and two dates.
"That's all, you have no friendship and I do."
After finishing his words, Shen Long pointed at Xiaoying and said, "Anyway, you are leaving for Liangzhou soon. Please help me send Xiaoying to the Qingcheng Sect. The Qingcheng Sect's spiritual elder and I are old acquaintances."
Xiaoying on the side was obviously reluctant when she heard this.
But just when she was about to say something, she saw Shen Long's unquestionable look, so she decisively chose to shut up.
"Sir, don't you take Miss Xiaoying to Yunzhou?"
"Yunzhou is going to be in chaos, so we have no time to care about her."
Lin Ji was silent.
No matter how chaotic Yunzhou is, a Taoist monk will not be able to protect his disciples.
What's more, Xiaoying is already a Yuanshen monk. Even if she walks alone in Yunzhou, as long as she is careful, nothing will happen... and so on.
Lin Ji raised his eyebrows, and then he remembered that the holy fire on his body had been thrown into Xiaoying's body.
"The Holy Fire is also a kind of training. It is a good thing to put some pressure on this girl. But when I go to Yunzhou, I have to take charge of the Northern Army and have no time to help her deal with the Fire Seeker." Shen Long said with a smile.
"Understood, I will set off after I see Mr. Fang tomorrow morning."
"Xiaoying will stay at the main office tonight. Call her when you set out tomorrow."
Shen Long cupped his hands.
"sorry to bother you."
"It's just a small matter." Lin Ji returned the greeting.
