Seeing that the three top Japanese players who had forced him into a desperate situation died in Lin Ji's hands so easily and without even the slightest resistance, the expression on Qiao Jingyan's face became more complicated.
He had known Lin Ji for a long time and knew that he was Master Fang's favorite general and the junior whom Jian Tiansi tried his best to cultivate.
But he never thought that Lin Ji, who was only a junior in his mind, would soar to the sky at such a fast speed.
For a moment, Qiao Jingyan couldn't help but feel that he was too useless and wasted his age.
When Qiao Jingyan was melancholy, Lin Ji had already arrived in front of him and bowed his hands.
"Weizhou Town Official Lin Ji has met Mr. Qiao."
"Senior Lin"
"You and I are both third-grade town officials, colleagues, and we just need to match our peers." Lin Ji waved his hand, signaling to Qiao Jingyan not to be too restrained.
If in front of outsiders, no matter what the background of the other person is, as long as he is not a Taoist, Lin Ji can accept the courtesy with peace of mind.
But in front of his colleagues in Jian Tiansi, he still couldn't show off the characteristics of his predecessors.
Whoever can become a town official is not a leader in the Japanese travel world. If you really look at his age, he is probably at least over a hundred years old.
Qiao Jingyan was not pedantic. He sighed and looked at the dilapidated border town around him.
After a moment of silence, he said with a wry smile: "Qiao has been guarding the border town for more than thirty years without incident, but Mr. Lin just got to see the joke."
"If anything, the ambition of the wolf in the Palace of Eternal Life has been planned for a long time. There are also several top Japanese players and a Daoist who have taken action. It is reasonable that Mr. Qiao has not been able to catch him."
"That's what I say, but in the end it was Qiao who failed in his duty." Qiao Jingyan said with some self-blame, "Most of my brothers have died this time. The Yanzhou Supervisory Office has ceased to exist in name only. It all depends on how the general office arranges it." , if we don’t send people down, I’m afraid Qiao will be left alone in Yanzhou.”
Having said this, Qiao Jingyan suddenly bowed to Lin Ji.
"Master Lin is now regarded as a powerful Taoist. There is still one vacancy among the three second-grade Youtian officials in the general office. If Master Lin takes up the position in the future, please take care of me, Yanzhou."
"You Tianguan? Lin is still junior and it's not my turn yet." Lin Ji said while taking a deep look at Qiao Jingyan.
He didn't have much impression of Qiao Jingyan. After he went to Weizhou to become a town official, most of the news about Qingzhou and Yanzhou were summarized with the words "nothing happened".
Whether nothing really happened, or something happened but there was nothing you could do about it, you could only pretend that nothing happened.
In the final analysis, he is extremely unfamiliar with Qiao Jingyan. He only knows this person, that's all.
Now seeing that he still wanted to maintain Jian Tiansi's power in Yanzhou under such a situation, Lin Ji realized that this person was probably a die-hard Jian Tiansi.
However, I am afraid that only die-hard people are willing to guard Yanzhou for more than thirty years when they are at the peak of their travels and are expected to enter Taoism.
"Master Qiao, I'm afraid the general office won't send anyone here." Lin Ji said with a bit of solemnity in his tone.
Qiao Jingyan was stunned and frowned: "How could it be possible? All the government offices in the state were destroyed in this battle, and there were very few survivors. If we don't send people, wouldn't Yanzhou be the same?"
Before Qiao Jingyan could finish speaking, Lin Ji sighed softly: "It's not just Yanzhou. If nothing goes wrong, all the nine states in the Central Plains will be in chaos. This has been a long-term plan of the Changsheng Palace and cannot be stopped."
"Even so, we can't give up Yanzhou. This is a land of one state! Even the imperial court was determined to take back Weizhou. Although Yanzhou is a bit chaotic, at least it has always been under the imperial government."
"Lord Qiao, the person in charge of the Supervisory Department now is Lan Zeying, the chief steward next to Emperor Pei."
"Qiao Mou naturally knows, but no matter who it is, he will seek his own policies in his position."
At this point, Qiao Jingyan suddenly choked up. He saw the mocking half-smile on Lin Ji's face, and immediately realized how ridiculous he was.
For a moment, Qiao Jingyan seemed to have aged dozens of years and suddenly lost his energy.
After a long time, he finally sighed and said: "I have long heard that the Changsheng Palace is causing trouble all over the Kyushu, but Qiao thought that no matter how chaotic it was, it would not be able to disrupt the Demon Suppression Tower two years ago, nor could it disrupt Weizhou. That thousand years of Tantra.”
"This is a battle of great power. Mr. Qiao, please protect yourself wisely and wait until everything is settled in the future before we talk about anything else."
At this moment, a spiritual pigeon suddenly fell from the sky and landed on Lin Ji's shoulder.
"Looking for me?" Lin Ji was a little surprised. He hadn't received a message from a spiritual pigeon for a long time.
After taking out the word-suppression order that had not been used for a long time and handing it over, Lingge immediately spat out a small note.
The note was stamped by the general office and contained news from Beijing.
This scene also attracted the attention of Qiao Jingyan on the side. Unfortunately, Lin Ji just opened the note and read it without any intention of sharing it.
After a while, Lin Ji put down the note and looked at Qiao Jingyan with a strange look.
"Master Lin, what happened?"
"Master Qiao, do you have the ability to predict the future?"
"how?"
Lin Ji let out a long sigh, then patted the dove on his shoulder.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Seeing that the spirit pigeon still refused to leave, Lin Ji reluctantly took out a Yuan Jing and handed it over.
The spirit pigeon was then satisfied, picked up the Yuan Jing, nodded humanely at Lin Ji, and then flew away.
After sending the spirit pigeon away, Lin Jicai smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid these spirit pigeons will communicate with each other in private. It's all because Lin was too generous when he was in Victoria, so these little guys know that Lin has a lot of money. "
"The news from Jingzhou." Qiao Jingyan was still talking about the news just now.
Lin Ji shook his head.
"Lin entered Taoism, but I can no longer hold the post of Weizhou town official. It has been delayed for several months. Jingzhong asked me to go to Jingli to resign."
"It's just this?" Qiao Jingyan asked puzzledly, "Then why did Mr. Lin say that Qiao has no predictions? He became a minister of the general government. Although he no longer holds an official position, the luck of the Supervisor of Tiansi is nothing to a monk who has entered Taoism. , and the other benefits are more, which is a good thing.”
Lin Ji handed the note directly to Qiao Jingyan.
"It has Lan Zeying's seal stamped on it. Lin is going to Beijing to meet the saint."
At the same time, Qiao Jingyan also finished reading the content on the note.
His eyes widened slightly and he looked at Lin Ji.
"His Majesty has appointed you as the third official of the Tiantian Division?"
Lin Ji nodded and looked northeast.
There is Jingzhou, the capital, and the hinterland of Qin.
"Logically speaking, Lin is not qualified to be the Youtianguan in any case."
"Master Lin, don't belittle yourself."
"No, Mr. Qiao, you don't understand."
Lin Ji always felt that it might not be that simple.
He had completely offended Lan Zeying before in Victoria. As the head of the Tiantian Supervision Department, how could Lan Zeying agree to let him be the Tiantian Official?
