Zhong Liying was ordered to recruit famous people from Yangzhou to strengthen the university. This was an urgent task assigned to him by Qingshu.
According to Qing Shu, the area under the control of Yangzhou Academy is too vast, and now there are only eight people walking with him, which is too few.
Don't you see that there are already thirteen Taibao under Xue Zhong in Yingdu, fifteen high scholars under Zheng Jianzi's sect in Xinzheng, and Wanqiu Changzi has been promoted to win over eighteen swordsmen, nine inside and nine outside. The land they travel is less than one-third of Yangzhou.
Zhong Liying also knows that this is the truth, but recruiting more people and recruiting disciples has always valued the elite and the loyal rather than the many. Qingshu is short of people, but is it so urgent? The reason for the urgency was probably because he felt the urgency - the sense of urgency that Sun Wu brought to Qingshu. This was an invisible pressure that could not be explained clearly, but it was really pressing on Qingshu's heart.
This is not a bad thing at all, especially asking Zhong Liying to find someone, which fully shows that Qing Xingxing has great trust in him. He has been included in Qing Xingxing's confidant, and he is as important as Zhongwu and Lu Li.
But this was done to protect against Sun Wu. Sun Wu was very kind to him. What could he do to get the best of both worlds?
In the past few days, Zhong Liying has taken stock of the famous monks in the city one by one. Most of the really useful monks are doctors. If they start from ordinary students in the school, they will definitely not be able to open their mouths. And those who are not doctors will not be able to open their mouths. If you don't like them very much, why would you recruit them?
In fact, Zhong Liying really wanted to find Sun Zhi, Wu Xiang and other people from Lu Mingze. It would be ideal to get along well with them and repay the kindness of saving his life. It's a pity that Qingshu's additional manpower was originally intended to limit Sun Wu's growing influence in Yangzhou. How could it be possible to include that group of people?
After searching for many days to no avail, Qing Xingxing had already asked twice. When Zhong Liying was worried, two temple officials, Men Ding and Cheng Jia, came over to flatter him. Since the last time they searched for the red-clothed demon cultivator in Xiaodong Mountain and got to know each other, the two of them had nodded and bowed when they saw him. They were very enthusiastic. Unexpectedly, they actually came to visit today. They said they were holding a banquet at the foot of Xiaodong Mountain. They invited him to honor him and take care of him in the future. Look after their brothers.
When Zhong Liying was depressed, she simply agreed and went to a unique mountain pavilion at the foot of Xiaodong Mountain to eat and drink with Men Ding and Cheng Jia.
These two temple officials were both naughty veterans. They deliberately fawned over each other and really enjoyed themselves. Zhong Liying's depressed mood immediately dissipated a lot. She accepted the Xiaodongshan specialties presented by the two temple officials before leaving.
Looking at Zhong Liying's disappearing figure, the doorman said: "If it is as Sun Xingxing said, Zhong Liying is looking for a new member for the school, which is a rare opportunity. Just now he was making insinuations, but he pretended not to know, what should we do? What a pity? The person in charge of selecting people is not Sun Xingxing, otherwise you and I might have a chance to get a Academy badge."
Cheng Jia said: "We are just testing it out, don't expect too much. Even if he agrees, it will be difficult for us, Tian Siwei, if he doesn't nod. Do you think Tian Siwei can let you and I go?"
The doorman sighed: "You and I have strong cultivation, clear vision, decisiveness in dealing with things, and broad connections. We are alone in Tingsi. We rely on Tiansi Wei like a right-hand man. We can't do anything without you and me. Do you think he can be happy and let go?" Human? If he doesn’t want to, how can the school force it?”
Cheng Jia said: "Tian Siwei and Sun Xingxing have a close relationship. If Sun Xingxing is asked to come forward, Tian Siwei may nod."
Mending said: "This is natural...but we need to persuade Zhong Liying first. Sun Xingxing said that he wants to avoid suspicion and it is not convenient for him to speak in front of Zhong Liying. What should he do?"
Cheng Jia said: "Sun Xingxing told you and my brother about this. This is already a great favor. Don't make it too difficult for him and spend your time elsewhere..."
The doorman suddenly remembered a person: "Why don't you ask Sophora Flower Sword to come forward?"
Cheng Jia asked: "There is also a relationship between Sophora japonica and Sophora japonica walking. The key is to find a way to suit their liking..."
When the two were discussing, Zhong Liying was also on his way back. He was certainly not a fool and understood the intentions of Men Ding and Cheng Jia. It turned out that these two people were fawning over him, but they got the news from nowhere and wanted to enter the palace as monks. .
Zhong Liying was not yet mature enough to think about poaching people from the imperial temple, so she did not dare to agree. Furthermore, the reputation of these two temple officials was not very good and they had done a lot of extortion. Zhong Liying could deal with them, but did not want to. He wanted to recruit people into the school building, so he didn’t really want to agree.
But today's banquet opened his mind. If it doesn't work inside Yangzhou City, then outside the city. If these people in front of him don't work, then he can think about his old acquaintances.
When we were heading back to the city in the cool evening breeze, we unexpectedly spotted two figures in front of us, walking slowly and leisurely towards Yangzhou. They looked familiar to us.
Zhong Liying was very confused. She quickened her pace and came to the side of the two people. When she looked at them from the side, she couldn't help shouting: "Brothers of the Ying family!"
These two were the deacons of the Langshan Shenyin Sect, Ying Da and Ying Er. I heard that these two people left Langshan and disappeared, but I didn't expect to meet them here.
The old people of Langshan, including the Ying brothers, kept a low profile when they went to Mangdang Mountain because they were worried about the revenge of Zuo Shenyin and Mai. Therefore, Zhong Liying followed Song Lian to Shikoku and Baiyue to investigate the case twice, but nothing happened. Discover them.
In the past, Zhong Liying would have avoided as far away as he could. However, in recent years, his cultivation had greatly improved and he had reached the peak of advanced Qi refining. He had also developed his magnanimity and confidence in Yangzhou Academy, and he immediately stepped forward. call.
The Ying brothers were still stunned and looked at Zhong Liying: "This brother..."
Zhong Liying smiled and said: "You two may have forgotten that I was also born in Langshan and served as the Yongcheng Branch Deacon in Beitang. When you and I were serving as Archdeacons in the main hall, I also asked you for advice on matters related to the sect. I am……"
Before he could finish saying his name, Ying Er blurted out: "Zhongli! You are Zhongliying!"
Ying Da also blinked: "It turns out to be brother Zhongli. There are rumors that you have gone to a good place, but you don't know where you are now?"
As an unknown person in Langshan back then, Zhong Liying was quite grateful and proud to be recognized by the two chief deacons. She immediately asked: "Where are you two? I heard that you two also left Langshan, but I don't know why? Back then, the two of you had a prominent position in the Shenyin Sect and were highly trusted by the Zuo Sect."
Ying Er sighed: "I don't know how to say it... Shenyin Sect is no longer the Shenyin Sect of the past, and the Zuo Sect Master is no longer the Zuo Shenyin Sect of the past. We old brothers are no longer popular. "
Yingdao: "Ashamed, my brother has been wandering around in the Chu, Chen, Cai, and Song countries. He has also been to Baiyue and even the wilderness. So far, he has not found a decent place to settle down. I heard that the Wu State Sword Sect is recruiting heroes from all over the world. I am about to Go over and take a look. Look at how rich and noble Brother Zhong Li is, and his cultivation seems to have improved a lot. Are you afraid that he has become a master now?"
Zhong Liying smiled and said: "It's a long story. Today I met an old friend in a foreign country, so my brother will be the host. I'll treat you two to a drink and let's talk about our friendship after farewell!"
