Although all the killers who caught up had been killed by Jie Nanshi on the street, there was quite a stir. Anyone who is willing to investigate will know that the beggar Xiao Qi is now in the Song Mansion.
Song Yu and Xie Nanshi originally thought that they would encounter a wave of assassinations at night, but they did not expect that the night would be spent very peacefully.
Early the next morning, Song Yu prepared small gifts and prepared to visit the guests he had invited one by one, especially those from the sect. There is only one purpose. If the outcome cannot be changed, then we hope to arouse these people's awareness of precautions in advance and recover the losses as much as possible.
"Has Elder Ming ever heard about the appearance of strange ghosts in the city?" Song Yu took a sip of tea and went straight to the topic. This was the fifteenth time he mentioned this sentence in the day.
Ming Yuyuan is the elder of the Danchen sect. This sect masters the practice of cultivating elixirs for longevity, and uses the technique of stars and eight trigrams to predict good and bad luck. Basically he does not participate in the battles with strange ghosts and beasts, but he occupies a very important position in the entire Taoist sect.
Not to mention that the elixirs of alchemy can assist in cultivation, even the matter of predicting good or bad luck is enough for everyone to praise.
Ming Yuyuan touched his beard, which was as white as fresh snow, and looked very kind: "The Department of Safety asked me to calculate this matter a few days ago, but the calculation result is that although there are strange ghosts sneaking into the city, Yongxi has an array." The legal protection will not cause too much damage. Master Song can rest assured that even if we are really attacked by the White Walkers, we and other cultivators will guard this place and we will not let the White Walkers wreak havoc."
Song Yu sneered in his heart. Last week, this old man was the first to abandon the people and flee here on the grounds that he was not a combatant. But his eyes were full of admiration, and he flattered with a smile: "Fortunately, there are capable people like Elder Ming stationed in Yongxi Prefecture..."
By the time Song Yu left the Danchen faction's station, the sun was almost setting.
"Sir, where are we going next?" Ahan had been waiting at the door to guard the carriage. When he saw Song Yu coming out, he quickly drove forward.
Song Yu raised his eyes and looked at the most majestic building in the center of Yongxi Prefecture - the Prefecture Lord's Mansion. "The most important place, of course, is the final visit."
The person who opened the door of the Prefecture Lord's Mansion was still Liao Fengshi from yesterday. When he saw that the person coming was Song Yu, he first showed a surprised look, and then quickly opened the door. "Master Song, please come in quickly."
Song Yu bowed down, handed the gift in Ahan's hand to Liao Changzhi, and said: "There was an unexpected change at home yesterday, and the housewarming banquet was canceled. Today I came to visit the governor and deputy governor to apologize to them. .”
When Song Yu came to the governor's mansion, he specifically singled out the deputy governor, proving that he had heard everything Liao Changzhi said yesterday. Since the Deputy Governor came to deliver the gift yesterday, the Deputy Governor should naturally have a share in this apology.
Liao Changzhi looked much happier as expected, and directly introduced Song Yu into the main hall: "The state leader is still practicing Taoism in seclusion and does not see outsiders. However, the deputy state leader is in the mansion at this time. Mr. Song will wait inside for a while. Let me go and inform you first."
"Excuse me, Mr. Liao." Song Yu dealt with it with a smile. After the person left, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. After the day of socializing, he felt that his face was stiff with smiles.
It would be great if Qiaoyi could wake up early. She could have a lot to say for herself about these scenes. As for the people in his family now...except for Miss Ren Wan, none of them can do the job, but Miss Ren Wan cannot spare time to accompany him to socialize everywhere.
In fact, it's not impossible. Maybe you can just take Jie Nanshi with you!
Just when Song Yu was thinking wildly, Deputy Governor Liu Huaijun walked in from outside with his hands behind his back. He looks like he is about 20 years old. His facial features are very upright and elegant. He is wearing a red official uniform. From the outside, he looks like a gentleman.
If he hadn't heard what Xiao Qi said, Song Yu's first reaction would have been to regard the other party as a good person. But if these assassinations were all carried out by the deputy governor, and he even sent his men to set fire to his house and arrest people, why would he face himself so calmly?
Of course, Song Yu didn't listen to what Xiao Qi said. Whether it was good or bad had to be proven.
Liu Huaijun naturally sat on the main seat and asked his servants to come over and watch the tea. Then he asked: "Liu heard that there was a fire in Master Song's house. Did it have any impact?"
Song Yu responded with a smile: "Excuse me, Master Liuzhou, but the fire was not big and it was extinguished soon."
His title of Liuzhou Lord obviously pleased the other party, and Liu Huaijun's expression softened a lot: "Master Song is new to Yongxi. If you need anything, you can always come to Xunzhou Lord's Mansion."
"There is really something I want to ask Lord Liuzhou." Song Yu kept smiling, but said it bluntly: "Lord Liuzhou should know that the recent frequent incidents of strange ghosts in the state prove that there are loopholes in the state gate formation..."
Liu Huaijun frowned and interrupted Song Yu's words: "The matter of strange ghosts should be in charge of the Security Department, and it is inconvenient for me to intervene."
Song Yu held the tea cup with both hands and waited quietly for Liu Huaijun to finish: "The Lord of Liuzhou has misunderstood. The official is not asking the Lord of the state to investigate the White Walkers, but to ask the Lord of the Liuzhou to cooperate with the major sects to strengthen the state gate formations to prevent the invasion of the White Walkers. "
Liu Huaijun raised his eyelids slightly, seeming to be surprised by Song Yu's request. He looked at Song Yu silently, his originally gentle gaze suddenly became sharp, but it only took a moment to regain his gentle look: "Master Song is asking for orders for the people, and it is my duty to do so. But how can Master Song hope that I can strengthen it?" ?”
"The state gate formation is controlled by the seal. It stands to reason that as long as there is no problem with the seal, any ghost should be stopped outside the city..."
Song Yu deliberately paused for a moment when he spoke. Seeing that Liu Huaijun was still listening and there was nothing unusual, he secretly sighed in his heart like an old fox and continued: "If you want to consolidate the formation and track down the alien ghosts entering the city, you need to get the seal from Get it."
"Lord Song, what you mean is that there is something wrong with Yongxi's seal?" Liu Huaijun didn't wait for Song Yu to refute, and said with a smile: "But the seal has always been in the hands of the state leader, and I have no right to interfere."
Naturally, Song Yu didn't expect to be able to ask anything: "Master Liu misunderstood, what I mean is, can the source of the White Walkers be traced from the seal?"
"I understand, I will send someone to investigate this." Liu Huaijun held his chin with one hand and asked casually: "But Mr. Song is in the Department of Safety, and I heard that Mr. Zhou from the Department of Safety also trusts Mr. Song. Jia, why don’t you know how to trace it from the Safety Department?”
Song Yu stared at Liu Huaijun's eyes and smiled: "The official is presumptuous, and the official from the Security Department will naturally investigate."
Liu Huaijun looked at Song Yu, his eyes seemed to have deep meaning: "This is very good."
Seeing that Liu Huaijun had no intention of talking again, Song Yu secretly sighed in his heart. If what the beggar Xiao Qi said was true, then the deputy governor was so calm that he never mentioned that he was about to go there yesterday. The matter of bringing the little beggar into the house.
But if others are not in a hurry, he is not in a hurry either, let's see who can outlast the other. Song Yu raised his hand and took a sip of tea, and then put the tea cup on the coffee table aside: "The tea is ready. Thank you Master Liuzhou for the payment. I won't disturb you and leave." What he said was as if he really just Just like those who come for tea.
"Master Song, walk slowly." Liu Huaijun stood up and sent the person to the door.
"Lord Liuzhou, stay." Song Yu's head almost ached from socializing. He was afraid that Deputy Governor Liu would follow him, so he strode out of the mansion.
Liu Huaijun watched Song Yu leave. Liao Changzhi walked out from the corner and bowed to Liu Huaijun: "State Lord."
Liu Huaijun withdrew his gaze and said, "People are keeping an eye on them. Find an opportunity to take them away as soon as possible." He said with a pause in his voice: "If there is no chance, just get rid of everything that needs to be removed."
"Yes." Liao Changzhi responded and retreated into the shadow of the corner.
…
As soon as Song Yu entered the carriage, he saw Jie Nanshi sitting inside.
It was naturally impossible for a godlike figure like him to accompany Song Yu to socialize one by one, but at least he showed up when he might be in danger. Song Yu looked at the State Lord's Mansion outside the carriage, feeling inexplicably relieved that he had finally grown up with this thigh.
Xie Nanshi looked at Song Yu with puzzled eyes. After the man got on the carriage and saw him, his expression was first surprised, and then inexplicably relieved. There were so many changes that it made people think there might be something wrong.
Fortunately, Song Yu's mental activity only appeared for a short time, and he turned the topic back to the main topic: "They said that the state leader is in seclusion and does not see guests."
Xie Nanshi frowned, but there was no problem with this argument. With the appearance of the strange ghosts, the spiritual energy of the entire continent was revived, the Taoist sect re-emerged, and even gradually realized immortality. As a result, many practitioners became addicted to cultivation and even neglected their original government affairs.
Song Yu put down the light-blocking curtain and leaned on his seat. He had no posture, which was in sharp contrast to Jie Nanshi, who was sitting upright beside him. "If nothing else, the Deputy Governor Liu Huaijun does look a lot like the owner of the Governor's Mansion."
Xie Nanshi was noncommittal and turned to the news he had discovered today: "There has been no incident of strange ghosts entering the city in Yongxi Prefecture for thirty years, and there have only been two attacks by strange ghosts in the past few days."
I'm afraid this refers to the two times when Song Yu rescued Xiao Qi. Because they made too much noise, everyone knew about it. If we add in the strange ghost that Xie Nanshi killed when he traced the whereabouts of Xiao Qi yesterday, then a total of three strange ghosts appeared in Yongxi Prefecture, all heading for Xiao Qi.
Song Yu obviously also understood the unfinished meaning of Xie Nanshi's words: "The purpose is so clear, just because he saw a conspiracy?"
The target of the White Walkers is obviously Xiao Qi. As long as Xiao Qi is in the house, he will figure it out sooner or later. However, for the future joint siege of the city by strange ghosts and beasts, complete preparations must be made in advance.
Although Song Yu has tried hard to remind the garrison of various sects today, whether it can attract the attention of the other party is probably a matter of metaphysics.
"I will go out of the city tomorrow to investigate." Xie Nanshi added, "You stay in the house and don't go out."
Since a large number of strange beasts have gathered, it is impossible that there are no signs outside the city. If there was credible evidence, those sects would not continue to ignore it.
Song Yu paused and asked seriously: "Would you mind bringing an extra oil bottle?"
