"No one can lie in front of [Geng Zi Shi Er], but every time you ask a question, you have to pay a corresponding price, whether it is the person who asks the question or the person who answers, so Si Tianjian has never used this before. An ancient strange thing is used to interrogate the prisoner." Huang Jianyuan said.
"But this time, Shaojian Guo is willing to set this precedent for Mr. Ji."
"Mr. Ji is still alive?" Lu Jing was a little surprised when he heard this.
Judging from the posture that night, he thought that Guo Shaojian would use this rare opportunity to directly get rid of Mr. Ji. Unexpectedly, Guo Shaojian could hold back the murderous intention in his heart in the end.
It seemed that his mind was still calm and he knew what the biggest crisis was at the moment, which made Lu Jing feel relieved.
"Yes, Mr. Ji was caught by Guo Shaojian and his men. He is now being held in a secret place. We will take him with us when we set off."
Huang Jianyuan didn't want to continue on this topic, and then asked, "Do you have any questions?"
"There's no problem." Lu Jing shook his head.
He was about to get up when Huang Supervisor said again, "Do you want to go?"
"What?"
"Even if there is a map in the secret realm, the secret realm is a secret realm after all. There will still be dangers if you want to go deep into it. Therefore, all the experts sent out this time are experts. Although anyone can recommend themselves, in order to ensure success, in principle, in the end, the department will Only level three and above supervisors will be dispatched.”
Huang Supervisor paused, "I have discussed your matter with Shao Supervisor Guo. Although you are only a second-level supervisor, you have performed very well in the previous cases. If you can catch Mr. Ji this time, what will happen to you and Xia Huai?" The credit is also great, but you have already reached two levels in a short period of time, and it is not easy to move up for the time being.
"But if you are willing to join this secret team, your name can be added to the list of one hundred and twenty people, and you will still be in the regular group."
This job sounded very dangerous, and Lu Jing subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But he also remembered the wish he had secretly made during the New Year, and the words his master Zhang Sanfeng gave him before going to Beijing - If you want to think about retreat, think about progress first.
Lu Jing didn't say anything too serious in the end, "Can I think about it?"
Huang Supervisor was a little disappointed when he heard this, but still said, "Of course, the final list will be decided at the end of the month, and we will be on the road at the beginning of next month. You know, we have to arrive at the center of the secret realm and set up the big formation before the fourth day of April. , so you still have ten days to think about it slowly."
"Thank you Huang Jianyuan."
After Lu Jing finished speaking, he turned around and walked out the door.
And Huang Jianyuan's voice sounded behind him, "Take that incense burner with you."
"Well..." Lu Jing looked a little weird, "A gentleman doesn't take advantage of others. Since this incense burner is used by Huang Jianyuan to boost your spirits, wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to take it away."
"It doesn't matter." Huang Jianyuan said calmly, "Do you know how this incense burner relieves people's fatigue? It can use smoke to create the most refreshing illusion.
"In other words, whatever you look at to refresh your mind will turn into something. It would be a bit of a waste for me to use it to watch Cuju. It's better for you to use it."
"…………"
Lu Jing was extremely embarrassed this time. He remembered that he had tactfully persuaded Huang Jianyuan to move the incense burner from the study to the bedroom.
As a result, my hobby was accidentally exposed.
However, it was too late to explain anything at this time. Lu Jing could only put the incense burner into his arms, lowered his head and hurriedly left the small courtyard of Huang Prison.
Just as quickly as he came, so quickly will he leave.
Lu Jingcai had not gone far when he was stopped by Uncle Chen who was passing by.
"Master Lu, wait a moment...there is a letter for you here."
"My letter?"
Lu Jing initially thought it was a letter written by Gu Caiwei to him, but when he opened it, there was only one meaningless sentence in it.
"There is a big case in the capital, would you like to help?"
Lu Jing frowned, feeling that the handwriting was a bit familiar. After thinking about it, he finally remembered that that time he took a carriage to see Granny Sugar Man, and found a piece of paper in that small courtyard made entirely of sugar. Similar notes.
What kind of sweetie mother-in-law is that again?
Lu Jing didn't have a very good impression of that guy. He found him in order to solve the problem of Amu not being able to speak, and he solved what happened in the No. 1 Scholar Building according to what he said.
However, in the end, Tangren Granny broke her promise and failed to cure Amu. She even randomly sent a substitute to see him, but Lu Jing saw through it at a glance.
Lu Jing has no interest in Granny Sugar now, and seeing that the end of the world is approaching, he is not in the mood to play crime-solving games with Granny Sugar.
So after Lu Jing read the letter, he crumpled it into a ball. If he hadn't been worried about littering, he would have probably thrown it away.
And just as he was about to continue walking forward, he heard Uncle Chen say again, "Wait, and... that letter was sent a month ago. I still have one here half a month ago. Well, there was also one ten days ago. , there were two letters three days ago, and I just received another one."
Lu Jing was speechless, what is this, spam bombing?
But doesn’t he have an email address now?
Lu Jing took the letters together from Uncle Chen, thanked them, and read them as he walked.
If the first letter is the usual charade mode of Granny Sugar, then starting from the third letter, it can be seen that Granny Sugar is also anxious. The content of the letter is a straightforward invitation to meet Lu Jing. The time, The location was chosen, and Lu Jing was urged to reply quickly.
When it came to the fourth letter, she was worried that Lu Jing couldn't remember who she was, so she simply signed her name.
This is quite risky for a rare item of hers. After all, she is sending a letter to the academy.
In the recent letter, Tangren's mother-in-law was forced to promise to meet Lu Jing in her real body, and she also said that an old friend of Lu Jing was also there.
After Lu Jing read it, he no longer kneaded into a ball. Instead, when he returned to the small courtyard where he lived, he threw them all under the stove and lit the fire when he was about to boil water.
Then Lu Jing rushed to Chi. First, he gave Chi the 150,000 taels of silver he had earned from growing ginseng during this period to continue paying off his debts, and by the way, he took over the shadow puppet that Chi had repaired.
This thing was the biggest gain he got besides the Bodhi bracelet last time when he and Xia Huai were used as bait.
And Chi did not disappoint him.
It only took less than twenty days to repair the shadow puppet as before.
And included in the three things Chi promised to build for Lu Jing, otherwise the repair cost of 100,000 taels would have cost Lu Jing another half a month of ginseng cultivation.
Chi said to Lu Jing, "You are now the master of this shadow puppet. Try letting it do some simple movements first."
