After Li Chuan and his party revealed their identity and purpose to the disciples, Zhu Qingyun ran out soon after. While leading them inside, he said, "You came just in time. I was just released from the palace yesterday. If you come again, If I come two days late, maybe I will be at Suliu Lake."
She wore a twilight short coat and a moon-blue long skirt. The color was very plain, and the skirt was embroidered with dark patterns of flowers and birds.
Li Chuan secretly observed her hair, which seemed to have grown completely.
After leading Wu Kong and Cen Tiejiang to the Demon Hunting Department, she took Li Chuan and the two demons inside, walked through the side hall, passed through a courtyard, and finally arrived at a sutra calculation room.
She said: "This is where I usually work. You sit down for a while and I'll come back when I'm gone."
After Zhu Qingyun left, Li Chuan walked around the room and looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. Although he couldn't understand it, he thought it was very beautiful. He stood by the window again and looked at the scenery in the courtyard. The flowers and trees were in order. The preface is obviously carefully taken care of.
Gong Er said: "This place is good. Will eldest brother also work here in the future?"
The third person looked at the pond in the courtyard and said, "It's just that the pond is a bit small. There are only a few fish in it."
Gong Er said he also saw the chubby koi in the pond and said, "The food here must be good."
After a while, Zhu Qingyun came back.
She said: "Master is not here for now. When he is here later, I will take you there."
"What's the situation now?" Li Chuan asked.
"It's quite troublesome." Zhu Qingyun had obviously been depressed in the palace for a long time, and his words were full of indignation, "Some people actually believed the words of the fish monster, thinking that as long as the master steps down, the fish monster will calm down. How strange! I don’t even think about it, if Master hadn’t been guarding the Qintian Prison all these years, maintaining the relationship with the major Xuanmen sects, and taking action from time to time to scare the monsters, half of the country might have been given to the monsters.”
Then, she asked: "Is this why you are here too?"
Seeing Zhu Qingyun's shining round eyes, Li Chuan chose to tell the truth, "I'm here to see your second senior brother, Jin Rong."
"When did your relationship become so good?" Zhu Qingyun was a little surprised, "Second Senior Brother also praised you greatly after he came back."
"Why did he praise me?" Li Chuan was a little curious.
"He said that you can stick to your heart, not be afraid of power, and are very brave." Zhu Qingyun repeated Jin Rong's words.
Li Chuan was very happy to hear this, and then he told Zhu Qingyun about the repair of the Tianyin Pot after Jin Rong's soul was injured.
"That's it." Zhu Qingyun understood Li Chuan's intention, and she said softly: "Second senior brother is not in Suliu Lake. The master gave him other tasks. I don't know the details. Why don't you stay here for a few days and wait for him? Come back, I’ll take you around just in time.”
Then he lightly stomped his feet: "Second Senior Brother, it's true that even if he was injured, he didn't say anything and just ran wherever there was danger. He really didn't want his life."
Li Chuan was a little curious, "Will Your Majesty really remove your master from his official position?"
Zhu Qingyun had a gloomy look on his face, "Your Majesty, it's hard to say. Even if she doesn't want to compromise in her heart, for the sake of balance, it's hard to say what decision she will make in the end." She said two things that were hard to say in a row, and then explained , "King Longlong has many people who support him, so..."
Then she added: "Actually, they have never thought that monsters will really appear in front of them one day. There are many masters in Beijing, but... not that many."
She sighed, "I have lived in the palace for so many days, and His Majesty often calls me to talk. Sometimes he discusses political affairs with ministers and asks me to listen on the side... But I have no idea what she thinks. arrive."
Then he sighed: "I'm finally out of the palace. I never want to go in again."
Li Chuan understood what Zhu Qingyun meant, and comforted him: "His Majesty hasn't spoken yet. The Imperial Heavenly Supervisor has issued a notice, and all the capable people from all over the world are coming..."
"This is also a troublesome thing," Zhu Qingyun became even more worried. "This notice was not issued by the master, but by Yan Jiancheng without permission... The specific process is too complicated, so I won't go into details. Now there are so many people with cultivation level. If they swarm into the capital, there will definitely be some trouble. It's not a big deal, but they are afraid that they will be instigated by someone with serious intentions..." She stopped again and said, "So starting from next week, a camp will be set up outside the city. Come and accommodate them, Third Senior Brother is busy with this matter. Forget it, let’s not talk anymore, I’ll treat you to dinner.”
After hearing this, Li Chuan also felt that his head was full of grass. Fortunately, he understood that he had no talent for these things. So after comforting Zhu Qingyun for a few words, he followed her to dinner with peace of mind.
Zhu Qingyun took Li Chuan to a small restaurant on the corner of the street next to Qintian Prison. He told the shopkeeper that he wanted food for four people, as usual, and then walked to the second floor.
Zhu Qingyun introduced: "This store has been open from the previous dynasty to the present. The emperor has changed many times, but the shopkeeper has remained the same. He and the master are good friends, so we can come here to eat often."
After entering the private room and sitting down, it didn't take long for the dishes to arrive one after another.
They all look like home-cooked dishes, but the taste is unusual. Compared with the pitch-black pan at the foot of Tianju Mountain, it can be said that it is full of color, fragrance and flavor.
Zhu Qingyun did not mention the trouble again, but asked about the case in Xialin Village, "Is Brother Guan really dead?"
"I also fainted at that time, but I felt that I must be dead," Li Chuan thought for a while and then said, "It can be seen that Director Wen was very sad. Although he was always smiling, he occasionally showed sad expressions. , can’t be fake.”
As he said that, he thought of the Xuantai Spiritual Light Society, so he asked, "Will you go to the Xuantai Spiritual Light Society?"
"Originally I wanted to go around," Zhu Qingyun looked depressed again, "It's hard to say now, forget it, you don't have to worry about these things, in short, the soldiers will cover up the water and the earth, the master is really going to be dismissed, I I don’t want to be such a bad official anymore.”
Li Chuan knew that what she said was angry, so he did not try to persuade her. Instead, he continued to eat food and talk about what he had seen on the road. The second male and the third male were also supplementing, and the atmosphere finally gradually became better again.
As he said that, Li Chuan suddenly remembered someone and asked, "By the way, is Lao Xiaokai still in jail?"
It was summer when Zhu Qingyun met him, and now summer is coming again.
"Still here," Zhu Qingyun replied, "We who went to Cangwu Wilderness came back last month, which confirmed Lao Xiaokai's words... It's just that I had been in the palace before, and something happened with the spirit fish monster later. That’s why I haven’t released him yet.”
She said, "If you want to see him, we can just release him in the afternoon."
Li Chuan said: "He is not a very evil person. He has been in prison for almost a year. He has received his retribution. Let's release him. Educate him well and let him not lie to others." ”
After eating, Zhu Qingyun took Li Chuan for a walk in the nearby streets, and then went to the prison of Qintian Prison.
The cells here are full of monks and monsters, so they have to go through layers of prohibitions and are closely guarded. Zhu Qingyun asked Gong Er and Pang San to wait outside the gate.
Li Chuan was led by Zhu Qingyun and went through several inspections. After verifying his identity, he successfully arrived at the prison door.
Zhu Qingyun asked him to wait outside and walked in directly.
Li Chuan found a shady place to stand. At the Monster Hunting Department, he felt that the rules and regulations were very clear just by taking a glance at them; the same was true for Dalao. This fully shows Gong Wuguang's control over Qin Tianjian. The supervisor can issue notices without authorization.
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Soon, Zhu Qingyun brought Lao Xiaokai out.
Probably because he hasn't been in the sun for a long time, his face is so white that he seems to have gained a lot of weight, making him look more like a hard-boiled egg.
