After talking about [Yi Zi Wu Bai Er Shi Qi] and the six copper coins, Huang Jianyuan's face also changed to a serious look.
Lu Jing knew that he was about to get to the point.
Not long after Huang Jianyuan returned to the academy, he specifically asked a messenger to bring him a message. Obviously, it was impossible just to call him to collect equipment and salary.
The two things before were more like casual events, but the next one was probably the real reason why Huang Jianyuan called him back.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Lu Jing heard Huang Supervisor speak again.
"There's something I want you to do."
"Is there another case for me to investigate?"
After seeing the one-eyed Taoist rushing to the scene, Lu Jing had a more intuitive understanding of the workload of the Si Tianjian people at the moment.
No wonder Guo Shouhuai has set his sights on the newcomers in the academy.
Although it had not been long since the previous case ended, Lu Jing was already mentally prepared to start a new job soon.
After all, he is quite familiar with the Nine-Nine-Six.
But then I saw Huang Jianyuan shaking his head, "It's not a case."
"what is that?"
"I want you to help me find someone."
"who?"
"An old friend who was also my classmate."
"Inspector of Si Tianjian?" Lu Jing thought for a while and said, since he is a classmate of Huang Supervisor, there are only two places to go, either to stay in the academy as a teacher, or to become an inspector.
And if Huang Jianyuan asked him to find him, then he must not be in the academy.
But Huang Supervisor's answer later was somewhat beyond Lu Jing's expectation, "He is not a supervisor."
After a pause, he added, "He left the academy before completing his training."
"Then he wants to drink the guest tea and forget everything here?"
"That's not true. His situation is quite special. He is physically unable to continue practicing. Speaking of which, your two situations are somewhat similar, but he first completed a hundred days of foundation building and then was unable to continue practicing due to an accident. As a cultivator, you didn’t have any secret affinity from the beginning, or you are more rare.”
Lu Jing scratched his head, wondering why Huang Supervisor's praise sounded a bit strange.
"In short, after he realized that he could no longer practice, he approached the academy's tutor at the time and offered to leave the academy, but he didn't want to just go back home.
"Since knocking on that door, he, like most people here, has realized the importance of Si Tianjian to the world, so even if he loses the possibility of cultivation, he still wants to do his part for our cause. , just in a different way.
"He no longer wanted to be a supervisor, but became a researcher. In addition to dealing with all kinds of weird things in Si Tianjian, he also took the initiative to study the secret realm.
"Let's put it this way, when it comes to understanding the secret realm and the origin of the secret power, he is not even inferior to Professor Zheng. You heard it when you were outside the door just now. Su Tixue led people to investigate the place to the north of the academy. I was in a secret place and found that the situation there was very bad.
"According to Professor Zheng's calculations, that secret realm may not last too long. Because of this, I want to find him and listen to his opinion."
"Well, isn't he in Si Tianjian now?"
"About ten days ago, he went to Liangzhou alone."
"Liangzhou? Isn't there a war there?"
This is not the first time that the native tribes in the northwest have clamored for the founding of a country, but in the past they probably just wanted to use this as a bargaining chip to gain more rewards.
It's just that this time is different. Seeing that Da Chen's energy is almost exhausted, the minds of those people have become active, so this time they want to take action for real.
The imperial court sent out a large army to suppress the rebellion, and fought several head-on battles with the Ban people. They still had some advantages on the scene. Basically, they won more than they lost, but it seemed impossible to devour the opponent in one go.
So in the end the war continued to slide in the direction of a tug-of-war.
It's certainly uncomfortable for those local people to spend so much money, but the pressure on money and food from the court is also increasing. Now both sides are fighting hard to see who can survive longer.
As a result, the boundaries of the three northwest states have become extremely chaotic.
Huang Supervisor said, "He went to Liangzhou to investigate a secret realm there. Now we are short of manpower. It is impossible to investigate all the twelve secret realms. We can only send people to take a general look around. No one is more suitable than him. , after all, he has been studying the secret realm for more than 20 years, so he took the initiative to ask for help.
"As for why he was the only one who went there in the end, it's not because Si Tianjian really can't allocate manpower. After discovering that there was also a problem in the secret realm north of the academy, I sent a messenger to Liangzhou to look for him, but couldn't find him. So I had to send someone to make another trip.
"How about it, are you willing to go to Liangzhou to help me find him?" Huang Jianyuan looked at Lu Jing.
Lu Ding nodded and said, "Can you tell me more information about him?"
"Of course, his surname is Qi and he is well-known, but he likes to use the name Anshi when he goes out to do business. He has a very distinctive appearance. He is seven feet tall, with hands longer than his knees. There are three moles on the back of his right hand. He should still be very handsome. Easy to recognize.
"I will tell you the location of the secret realm later. See if you can find him nearby." Huang Jianyuan said.
If you are just looking for someone, this job sounds relatively easy.
Although the imperial court and the native tribes in the northwest are fighting fiercely in Liangzhou.
But for Lu Jing, an army or something like that is easier to deal with than a monster. After all, if the army can't be defeated, he can still run away. But the monster might not, just like the Buddha statue he encountered last time.
If he couldn't get the butcher's knife out, Lu Jing estimated that he was strong enough to kill him.
After going back to tidy up for a while and explaining to Chen Hanqing about taking care of the ginseng field, Lu Jing set off again.
But this time he was careful, because Kui had warned him that he had been targeted by Mr. Ji, and there was Mr. Ji's insider in Sitian Prison, so Lu Jing also brought a person with him when he went out this time. Leather mask.
When he arrived in Liangzhou, he found a deserted place and put it on his face. Feng Jiulang, a ginseng practitioner, returned to the world again.
As soon as he took to the street, Lu Jing felt the tense atmosphere in the city.
Because just half a month ago, a nearby large Tufan tribe just sent people to besiege this place. It is said that a full 30,000 troops were dispatched, although they failed to defeat them in the end and withdrew.
However, many traces left by the previous attack are still clearly visible, and because the city is a mixed bag of people from all tribes, the defenders do not dare to slack off. They are strengthening their vigilance and patrolling everywhere to avoid those who have secretly surrendered to the enemy. Suddenly something opened the door to offer the city.
Wherever Lu Jing looked, there were men in armor everywhere.
