In the room with bright candles, Lin Qing and Ning Canglan stood side by side, and the two of them knelt down with dozens of people from Muyantang who were different in height, fat and thin.

"Xiaoqing, this is the steward of the various branches and sub-gangs of Muyan Hall, since you have taken the position of the master of Muyan Hall, you should familiarize yourself with the affairs of the hall as soon as possible, and these stewards will inform you of what they know." Ning Canglan said softly.

Lin Qing nodded and whispered to Ning Canglan: "Engong, let's let them all get up and talk, it's too awkward." ”

"They're all your subordinates, and now you can't rely on me to give orders."

Seeing the seriousness in Ning Canglan's eyes, Lin Qing had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Get up." ”

Giving orders to so many people was something Lin Qing had never done before, if it weren't for Ning Canglan by her side, I was afraid that she would have been too nervous to speak at this time.

"Yes." After Lin Qing's words landed, the group stood up in unison, and then bowed to Lin Qing and Ning Canglan, and said respectfully: "Subordinates, see the sect master, hall master." ”

After this ceremony, Lin Qing officially became the master of Muyan Hall. Muyantang belongs to the Canglan Sect, and is usually in charge of material supply and personnel deployment in the sect, although its status in the five halls of the Canglan Sect is slightly higher than that of Tuyantang, which is in charge of protection, it is far less important than the Jin, Huo, Eryantang, which is in charge of force, and Shuiyantang, which is in charge of intelligence collection.

However, as a hall master, Lin Qing was also a big person in power in the Canglan Sect at this time, and his identity was no longer comparable to the past.

After the people of Mu Yantang finished handing over the affairs to Lin Qing one by one, it was already late.

Lin Qingqiang endured his sleepiness and sent everyone to the door, feeling both joy and sorrow. Happily, she has become a person who holds power and is in charge of one party, and she is worried that she is afraid that she will not be able to manage Mu Yantang and live up to Ning Canglan's expectations.

"Xiaoqing is also tired today, rest early. The moves of the unequaled sword technique have been taught to Xiao Qing, and Xiao Qing only needs to teach diligently. As soon as the words landed, Ning Canglan had already turned around and left.

Lin Qing knew that Ning Canglan was not going to rest but was busy dealing with many affairs in the Canglan Sect, and during the day, Ning Canglan had to accompany him to practice, and Shicai accompanied him to meet the people of Mu Yantang, so the matters in the sect could only be shelved until the evening.

"Engong ......" Looking at Ning Canglan's back, Lin Qing silently clenched his fists. Since Eun Gong worked so hard, how could she bear to let him down?

The next day, Lin Qing got up before dawn and went out after dressing up seriously. After all, she is already the master of Muyan Hall, if she doesn't pay attention to her description and dress up casually, she will definitely be criticized, she doesn't want to hear idle people waiting behind her back to say that Ning Canglan is not ladylike.

"See the hall master." Under the plaque engraved with the three big characters of 'Muyantang', many people knelt on the ground upright just to wait for Lin Qing.

Lin Qingqiang suppressed the tension in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "You are all people who have contributed to my Canglan Sect Muyantang, as a junior, I am still young, and I ask you to give me more advice." Today, I, Lin Qing, swear here, in order to live up to the high expectations of Sect Master Ning, I will do my best to contribute to the sect! ”

His words attracted applause from everyone, and Lin Qing hurriedly asked everyone to stand up.

The hall master should say too much, and say less and too little. Perhaps for the sake of Ning Canglan's face, the people of Muyantang were extremely respectful to Lin Qing, which also made Lin Qing a lot more convenient when he was on the council.

"Hall Master, this is this month's purchase book, please take a look."

"Hall Master, the sect master has moved the headquarters from Suncheon Tower to Qingfeng Valley, and there are still many items that have not been moved, and I ask the hall master to order a few people to be sent to move the objects."

"Hall master, the people of the west branch and the people of the north branch have a dispute for some reason, and I ask the hall master to move and deal with it."

……

After a whole day, Lin Qing felt that his bones were about to fall apart. Don't say that you have the time to practice the peerless swordsmanship, and even the time to drink water is pitiful, it seems that the position of this hall master is really not something that can be sat lightly!

There are still so many things that a hall master still needs to deal with, how hard Ning Canglan should be in charge of the five hall masters, the left and right guardians, and a group of disciples! The more Lin Qing thought about it, the more distressed he felt, and the mood of wanting to see Ning Canglan became more and more irrepressible.

After leaving Lanxi Flower Valley, Ning Canglan lived in Qingfeng Valley, because there was cold ice in the valley, so even on a sunny day, Qingfeng Valley was as cold as winter. Lin Qing knew that Ning Canglan kept that piece of cold ice for practice, but what she didn't understand was that Ning Canglan's martial arts were clearly at the peak, and many martial arts practitioners in the rivers and lakes could only look at him, why did he still practice so hard?

This question was this question that Lin Qing was reluctant to ask Ning Canglan, and she firmly believed that one day Ning Canglan would tell her the reason in person.

Qingfeng Valley Lin Qing has only been here once, and that is the day of the ceremony. Ning Canglan announced in public that she would succeed her as the head of the Muyan Hall, and then she and Ning Canglan had the same memory of the unparalleled sword spectrum in the ice room, and she was able to progress smoothly by relying on his internal strength. When I stepped into the Valley of the Breeze again, there was a depressed and cold atmosphere in the valley.

The attitude of the attendants guarding the valley mouth was very slack, and when they heard that Lin Qing was coming to find Ning Canglan, the expressions of the two attendants suddenly became complicated.

"Who are you? You...... Isn't it also here to collect debts? One of the squires said in a stiff tone.

"The newly appointed master of Muyan Hall is below." Lin Qing replied in her mouth, but her eyes and thoughts drifted to the valley, she heard correctly, collecting debts? Is there something wrong with the Canglan Sect?

"It turned out to be Hall Master Lin, but the little ones were clumsy, and they asked Hall Master Lin to forgive their sins. The sect leader is in the valley, and the hall master Lin is at his own convenience. The attendant's tone was a little softer, but his attitude was still a little perfunctory, which made Lin Qing even more concerned about Ning Canglan's situation at the moment.

"Eun Gong? Where are you? Lin Qing strode into the valley, and a familiar cold air came to his face.

Ning Canglan sat on the stone chair at the top, and when he saw Lin Qing coming in, he quietly put away a few pieces of paper in his hand.

"Why didn't Xiaoqing come here without saying hello, is there something wrong with coming to Engong?" Ning Canglan said with a smile.

Lin Qing shook her head and nodded, and when she leaned into Ning Canglan, she took away the paper that Ning Canglan had put in her hand with lightning speed.

"The debt letter, because the Canglan Sect failed to obtain the emperor's edict as promised, it needs to compensate for the amount of silver for breach of contract...... A thousand taels? When he read the last two words, Lin Qing couldn't help but turn pale.

"Who is this man? Such a lion opened his mouth to ask for a thousand taels of silver! Putting this paper debt book back into Ning Canglan's hands, Lin Qing felt very uncomfortable. Stealing the edict of the former emperor was supposed to be her own task, but who knew that she was tied back to Fengcheng by Jiang Shan's ghost halfway.

"Originally, it was not a problem to pay this thousand taels of silver with the financial resources of my sect, but it was only to blame Qiao Xinzhi and the left envoy for colluding with the imperial court to attack the Shuntian Tower, and then captured the important land where some other sect masters stored the silver taels

Swept away a lot of silver taels, and this is ......"

"However, isn't it a year to agree to obtain the edict of the emperor? Now that the year has not yet come, how can that man suddenly ask us for silver taels? The more Lin Qing thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Ning Canglan said helplessly: "That person is Lu Chengxiu, the second prince of the current dynasty, and he suddenly changed his mind to get the edict of the first emperor in advance. ”

"II...... Prince? Lin Qing's eyes widened in shock, "Engong, why did you even take over the prince's task?" ”

"Although the second prince is not very valued by the emperor, he is also a figure that should not be underestimated, since he entrusted me with the Canglan Sect to obtain the edict of the first emperor, how can I not accept this task."

"Whatever bullshit prince he is, he rashly rescheduled but asked us to bear such a huge amount of compensation, isn't this a clear bully? Engong, our Canglan Sect has always been a master, it is better to kill in the capital, so that the second prince knows that we are powerful! ”

Ning Canglan suddenly smiled, "Xiaoqing, you are still too naïve. Even though my Canglan Sect can dominate the land of Fengcheng, it is not strong enough to fight against the country. ”

"So what are we going to do? Why don't you go and take a few more tasks to make money? Or go to a few big families and steal some gold and silver treasures to offset the thousand taels of silver? Lin Qing ran out of ideas for a while.

"How can a drop in the bucket solve the urgent need? Besides, the thousand taels are just a disguise, and what the second prince wants is not silver taels but people. So far, I have to send someone to the capital......"

The more Lin Qing listened, the more confused he felt, and he wondered: "It's not Yinliang but people?" What is the purpose of this second prince? ”

"This is a secret letter from the second prince." Ning Canglan said and handed a piece of paper to Lin Qing.

There is a line of small print written on the paper: If you want to ask for the Canglan Sect to worry-free, you need to send a person to the capital to hide information by the side of the third prince Lu Chengxuan, and then a thousand taels of silver can be exempted, and this prince can also be relieved of worry-free.

"What?" Lin Qing, who read the secret letter, couldn't help but exclaim, "These two princes are also too deceitful!" Isn't this a clear threat, why can he assign us so arrogantly-"

Before Lin Qing could finish complaining, Ning Canglan had already interrupted her.

"Just because he is a powerful royal nobleman, and we are just ordinary people! So Xiaoqing, you should understand how important power is to a person! Only when you have power can you get what you want, and one day, I will trample them all under my feet! ”

When Ning Canglan said this, his face was gloomy, and his body exuded a cold air that penetrated through the bones, like an evil demon who had come out of purgatory.
