In addition to handling government affairs, Princess Zhaoning also revised literature and classics for the Exorcism Department.
Because Shangguan Jin had helped her on this matter many times, the relationship between the two was actually quite good in private.
After a symbolic salute, Shangguan Jin stepped forward with a smile, took Princess Zhaoning's arm, and led her into the door of the Exorcist Department's headquarters, while warmly greeting her.
"Your Highness, I see that you have looked a little haggard recently. Has that little guy Xiao Shangzhen made you angry again? To be honest, I really want to have a sister who is as careful, responsible and beautiful as you."
"Your Highness, no matter how busy you are with government affairs, you must take good care of yourself! You are recognized as the most beautiful woman in Luo Jing City - if you develop wrinkles early, it will not look good."
"Your Highness, secretly I really admire you - not only can you handle government affairs in an orderly manner, but you have also read so many spiritual books. As a practitioner of the Exorcism Department, I don't know as many spells as you do!"
"..."
Although Princess Zhaoning knew that these words Shangguan Jin said were basically polite, they still made her feel very comfortable when they fell into her ears.
The anxiety I've been feeling lately seems to be gradually relaxing.
After all, who doesn’t like to be praised?
Shangguan Jin also noticed the change in the expression on Princess Zhaoning's face.
She felt very satisfied.
She now wants something from the other party - if she can successfully learn the identity of "Suzaku" through Princess Zhaoning, then she won't mind saying a few more nice words.
A moment later, the two walked through the long corridor and arrived at the database at the Exorcist Department's headquarters hand in hand.
This is a three-story loft.
All monks from the Exorcist Department headquarters on the first floor can enter at will.
But to go further up, you need special permissions.
Shangguan Jin had to stop in front of the stairs.
As the person in charge of secular government affairs, the compiler of documents and the initiator of the plan to rebuild the "Shenji Camp", Princess Zhaoning has higher authority in this database than most of the monks in the Exorcism Department, so she can naturally follow the Take the stairs to the second level of the attic.
As for the third floor of the attic, only Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Department, has the authority to enter.
Soon, Princess Zhaoning found the archives of the "Shenji Camp" on the second floor of the attic.
In this book, the name, code name, cultivation level, background information and other information of each member of the reserve force of the "Shenji Battalion" are recorded.
Since this archive is not recorded manually, but is automatically generated under the operation of Luo Si Shouting Jishu, all the information recorded in it can be updated in real time.
In other words, when there is a breakthrough in the monk's realm or a promotion in position, the contents of this archive will automatically change.
Princess Zhaoning took the archive book off the shelf and opened it.
All I saw was a blank page.
"I want to check the information of 'Suzaku'." Princess Zhaoning said softly.
As soon as she finished speaking, dynamic black ink marks suddenly appeared on the white paper, and then turned into clearly visible small regular characters one after another.
The content is as follows:
"Zhuque, whose real name is Gu Xu, is seventeen years old. He is a second-level monk. He is a native of Yishui County, Qingzhou Prefecture, Jiaodong Province. He is currently working as an exorcist in Yishui. He is tall and slender, with a white face without beard, regular facial features, and a very good appearance. Wen Strong ambition, skilled in spells, and once measured the third-level qualification 'Light of the Blazing Sun'..."
After seeing these words, Princess Zhaoning couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Gu Xu...it's him again..."
She never expected that this familiar name would appear in her sight again.
When she first saw this name, Gu Xu was just an unknown clerk in a remote county town - he caught her eye with his flawless answer sheet and clear and crisp handwriting.
The second time he saw this name, Gu Xu successfully solved the "Lu Family Haunted House" case that had daunted countless people and became the new owner of the "Jinghong Pen" - at that time, Princess Zhaoning decided that this person must become One of the most dazzling geniuses of the Daqi Dynasty.
And now, he has also successfully learned the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", which are rumored to be difficult to understand, and used this to crack the "Dragon Domain" and "Liuhe Shield" that his younger brother Xiao Shangzhen was proud of...
Thinking of this, Princess Zhaoning only felt that her thoughts were in a trance, and it was difficult to come back to her senses.
Young and handsome, knowledgeable, talented and talented.
This young monk named "Gu Xu" seems to have an extremely dazzling aura.
In front of him, all so-called "geniuses" will pale into shame.
"I am really lucky to have such a person in Daqi!" She sighed deeply, "I think... if we give him enough resources and let him practice for another thirty years, maybe Daqi will have a new one. Saint! By then, even if we face evil ghosts like Mangshan Ghost King, we may have a better chance of winning."
At the same time, Princess Zhaoning also considered using Gu Xu’s example to teach her younger brother Xiao Shangzhen a lesson when she returns to the princess’ mansion later: Look, people who are more talented than you work harder than you! You are still playful and don't practice hard. Do you want to become a complete waste?
…………
Princess Zhaoning read Gu Xu's information several times until she remembered it firmly in her heart. Then she put the file back on the bookshelf and turned back to the first floor of the attic along the stairs.
Shangguan Jin had been standing under the stairs waiting for her.
After seeing the princess, Shangguan Jin immediately greeted her enthusiastically and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, did you gain anything from upstairs?"
Princess Zhaoning nodded.
Shangguan Jin said again: "Can your Highness tell me the name of 'Suzaku'?"
As she spoke, she blinked deliberately and looked at Princess Zhaoning expectantly. Her expression looked so charming that it was difficult to refuse her request.
Princess Zhaoning stared at her for a while and said calmly: "You want to know his name so much, is it because you lost to him in the 'Realm of Discussing the Tao'? So you want to collect more information about him in the future. Are you trying to find a way to get back on your feet?"
Princess Zhaoning is in charge of the government of Da Qi. She has to deal with a group of old fox officials every day, and she has developed a strong ability to see into people's hearts. She can often see through the appearance to see the essence.
So it only took her a moment to guess Shangguan Jin's thoughts.
She knew that Shangguan Jin's awakened supernatural power was called "Heavenly Calculation" - it could convert the scene in front of her into data and predict the opponent's actions based on these data.
The more information Shangguan Jin has about her opponent, the more accurate the "Tiansuan" prediction results will be, and the greater her chances of winning in the battle will be.
"Sorry, in order to ensure the fairness of 'Realm of Taoism', I can't tell you." Princess Zhaoning paused for a moment, then flatly rejected Shangguan Jin's request.
Hearing this, Shangguan Jin felt a little disappointed.
But she wasn't angry.
Because at this moment, from Princess Zhaoning's overly serious expression, she could guess that "Suzaku" should be a very special and extraordinary person - he has attracted the princess's attention.
The pool of suspects has been narrowed significantly.
"'Zhuque', 'Zhuque', I think I will know who you are soon!" Shangguan Jin thought confidently, "The next time I compete, I won't be as careless as last time. ——You have to be careful!
"Perhaps, we will meet at the Laoshan ruins in Laizhou Prefecture soon - then we will see whose hands the inheritance of Kongxuan Sanren will finally fall into!"
