It's a pity that these two people obviously believed in Xie Nanshi's abilities but didn't believe in him. They didn't react at all to Song Yu's words.
Jie Nanshi ignored Song Yu who was depressed to the point where resentment was boiling in his head. He looked as usual, as if he was just talking about a very trivial matter: "I really didn't expect that this would alarm the Security Department. If I had known this, I should have Let Mr. Song inform you two. Therefore, you don’t need to be so concerned about the strange beasts and ghosts outside the city. There is no need to send people to investigate in a short time."
Song Yu reluctantly wanted to show his role in this matter: "That's right. If you want to know which strange beasts and ghosts have been confiscated, you can ask me. I remember the layout I laid out clearly. Got it!"
Zhou Qinian bowed to Xie Nanshi with great gratitude: "On behalf of the Security Department of Yongxi Prefecture and the people of Yongxi Prefecture, I would like to thank the Taoist Priest!"
Zhou Qinian's voice was shaking with excitement. After all, he went to Yuan'ao Mountain to see it in person. There is no doubt about Xie Nanshi's achievements. His greatness may be second only to the legendary saint and the current city lord!
Xie Nanshi didn't take it seriously. If Song Yu's reputation in the Security Department hadn't dropped too much, he would never have even thought about asking for a job: "Mr. Zhou's words are serious. I just said something that may be offensive - these days There is no need to leave the city. Some things are better kept in hand. Let’s nip them in the bud.”
"Definitely, definitely!" Zhou Qinian nodded, confirming the matter of recovering the token, and by the way, he also extended an invitation to Xie Nanshi to join the Security Department. He was prevaricated by Xie Nanshi and Song Yu.
What happened after that was left to Zhou Qinian and the guards to handle. On the way back to the Judicial Court, Song Yu was hunched all the way, walking almost crookedly, without any energy at all.
Xie Nanshi couldn't bear to see this look, so he couldn't help but stretched out a finger to push him upright: "What's wrong?"
"You've already finished pretending!" Song Yu's tone was full of sorrow and anger: "I spent so much effort and such a long time to barely regain a little favorability. Why do you have so much favorability and prestige when you see them? It’s full in no time!” Who is the real son of the game?
Xie Nanshi is still just an NPC! Why is it more moisturizing than the players! Isn’t this a little unreasonable? What a dog plan!
Although Xie Nanshi didn't quite understand Song Yu's words, the corners of his mouth curved in response to Song Yu's indignant expression. I don't know since when, his Taoist mind is no longer as calm as it used to be. His life was still working hard in the original direction, but because of Song Yu, it took a different path.
When he was with Song Yu, Xie Nanshi would always have many questions about himself, the world, and even the entire world. But these questions made Xie Nanshi feel that he might have had such doubts long ago in order to be considered alive.
Even he himself hadn't thought about it. If it weren't for the heavy burden of Jiange Zangfeng on him, Xie Nanshi would still be just a young Taoist in his early twenties, even if he had attained the level of cultivation.
…
The fact that Qi Rong followed Taoist Master Yi and broke up on bad terms soon spread to everyone in the country. Seeing that the young master was in a bad mood, no one dared to persuade him to go back to the house immediately.
He used this fire to circle around the State Lord's Mansion, and found that as long as he did not leave the State Lord's Mansion, no one would stop him, but he always felt like he was being watched behind him.
"Forget it, no more shopping!" Qi Rong walked back angrily after being stopped by the guard at the side door again. He had breakfast and did not eat at noon because he had a "quarrel" with Elder Yi. The sun had already set.
He didn't feel hungry, but thinking about his plans for the evening, he decided to eat as much as he could.
After dinner was put on the table, he scolded all the servants in the room again, including those who had been following him before. His actions played into Liu Huaijun's hands, and the servants in the room had already been told to let Qi Rong vent his anger, and even fanned the flames in the hope that the fire in the young master's heart would burn even more intensely.
However, there were two secret agents who were only loyal to the state leader and were scratching their heads in secret. They wanted to give Qi Rong and Chen Bai a note about their identity, but they couldn't even hand it over.
After driving all the servants out, Qi Rong forced himself to lie down on the bed to rest. He thought he couldn't fall asleep because he was worried about something, but he didn't expect that he fell asleep directly after touching the bed. He didn't wake up until he was woken up. I woke up in a cold sweat. After all, he spent too much energy in the State Lord's Mansion these days. He slept a little longer when he was tired, and wasted a lot of time.
Fortunately, he slept with his clothes on, so it was easy to get up. In order to reduce the noise he made and arouse the suspicion of the secret watchers, he took out a talisman from his arms with the smallest movement and stuck it to his heart.
He only felt his body suddenly lighten up, and his whole body suddenly felt a sense of erraticity.
Qi Rong was not sure whether the spell had taken effect now and others could not see him, but now he could only seize the time. It was impossible to open the front door, and there was no secret passage in this room. Fortunately, Qi Rong had left a window open early in the morning. He was a child and was small, so he climbed out of the window easily.
The Prefecture Lord's Mansion was quiet at Chou Shi, but he knew very well that around Yin Shi, people would start working in the kitchen one after another. By Mao Shi, most of the servants in the mansion would get up and work to maintain the operation of this huge mansion.
Qi Rong took a deep breath and ran silently from the court. He took advantage of a gust of wind to cover the swaying vegetation in the garden, and went around into a small hole behind the rockery. The rockery has a rugged and complex shape, hiding an entrance. Qi Rong didn't have enough strength, so he still made some noises. But when his figure fully emerged from behind the rockery, he finally pried open the secret door there and entered the tunnel here.
Regarding the secret passages in the mansion, Qi Rong could not guarantee that his memory was completely correct. In order to recall the feeling of walking before, he even walked and raised his left hand, just like he was held by his father before.
Since there are talismans and formations in the secret passage, there is always air flowing, so breathing does not feel stuffy. It's just that if things go on like this, the secret passage has been neglected to be cleaned, and there is a light layer of floating dust on the ground.
The tip of Qi Rong's nose suddenly became sore. He would often be brought to clean secret passages by his father. In the past, he would only find it dirty and tired. On such days, he would be unhappy a hundred times. It's just that my father, who is usually quite loving, will be particularly insistent on this point.
"You have to remember. Although you may not be the next head of Yongxi Prefecture, as long as you are still my son, you have to take responsibility." Qi Baisheng's voice seemed to still ring in his ears, "If one day Yongxi Prefecture will be Yongxi Prefecture's next head, you will have to take responsibility." Xizhou is in great trouble, and you are everyone’s savior.”
Qi Rong didn't understand it before, but now he is trying his best to peel back the layers of his memory so that his impression of the secret passage can be clearer and clearer.
He held his breath and opened one door after another. It was so quiet here that every time the door opened, the slight sound of the hinges seemed extremely harsh. Qi Rong's heart often beats wildly because of this. And every time, he came back disappointed.
After opening more than twenty doors, Qi Rong's breath was already a little unstable. Not only because of physical fatigue, but also because of the disappointment in my heart. What he pushed open were secret rooms that were rarely opened on weekdays, but at most he only refreshed the stale air inside, and did not get what he wanted to see.
His judgment of time has also become blurry. Judging from his own footsteps, it may be almost Yin Shi...
"We have to speed up." Qi Rong frowned slightly. It was too late to return at this time, but he could go out through another secret passage and use the talisman given by the Taoist Priest. This is not safe, but Qi Rong doesn't care anymore.
He wanted to see his father more than ever.
Qi Rong braced himself and tried to push open the next door, when he suddenly heard a strange noise, which seemed to be someone talking.
Qi Rong felt that his whole body suddenly became cold. He stepped lightly and followed the direction of the sound. He did not forget to put a talisman on his body and cover his mouth and nose.
The door was not open, and only a faint light came out from the crack at the bottom.
"If the deputy governor still remembers our agreement, he should not take action privately. Now that they have found Qingpingzhou, one of you and me will definitely be bitten." This voice sounded strange, young, And aging, very strange.
Qi Rong didn't know what the two had talked about before, but he only knew that his decision to cover his mouth and nose was correct. When he heard the words deputy governor, he almost screamed.
He was even afraid that his heartbeat would be too loud and the talisman would be ineffective.
Qi Rong boldly wanted to step forward and listen carefully. But even though he didn't make any sound, the people in the room seemed to be aware of it.
"Someone." It was the same strange voice.
"No." This was Liu Huaijun's voice: "Only a few people know the secret passage."
"Where's the kid?"
"He is timid and has been messing around during the day. I'm afraid he won't be able to do this. What's more, he is surrounded by people I sent to keep an eye on him." Liu Huaijun had obviously been troubled by Qi Rong in the past two days, and his tone Zhongdu was a bit sarcastic.
Qi Rong scolded Liu Huaijun's whole family in his heart, and finally thought bitterly that this guy was an orphan, and it would be really advantageous for him not to have a whole family.
The weirdo pondered for a while and then walked towards the door. He spoke in a strange voice and walked in a strange way. Fortunately, this is probably the place where Liu Huaijun and weirdos often meet, and there is no dust. Otherwise Qi Rong's footprints will betray him first.
Qi Rong wanted to avoid it, but was afraid of making any noise. But as soon as he cautiously took two steps back, the door was already opened.
