Chapter 221: Meeting
"Where he is, whether he is dead or alive now, it depends on who he met and what he did when he came here, and at the same time, his own qualifications and cultivation have something to do with it." ”
Ding Qin thought for a while, "My father is over forty years old, and his spiritual power cultivation is at the second and first levels, that's for sure. As for expertise, there is really no expertise. As a general defending the city, he has a set of methods for fighting with soldiers. ”
Nong's clan said, "Fighting with soldiers is a useless skill for Chen Lizong. It is impossible for Chen Lizong to be reduced to the point where he has to personally select troops to go to the battle. As for qualifications, if you are over forty years old, you will only belong to ordinary people, and it is almost impossible to enter the Chenli Sect. ”
Ding Qin's mood slowly fell, "In other words, my father is more than lucky. ”
Nongshi nodded, "Alas. I don't want to say that, but it's true. Over the years, I have known that some people have been taken into apprenticeship, but I don't remember any of them being over the age of thirty. ”
Ding Qin was silent for a while when he heard this, and then spoke again after a long time, "Then, isn't there any other possibility?"
"It's not nothing, it's just that there is little hope." For example, he may be arrested as a laborer. Five years ago, Chen Lizong wanted to build a new building, and at that time, he grabbed a number of craftsmen to work here. After it was built, the craftsman team was also retained, but it was not considered a staff member of the Chenli Sect, and the salary was not high, and it felt like a slave. ”
"In addition, if he is caught, in order to get some key information from his mouth, he may also be controlled and held somewhere. Or, the person who met him at that time was in a good mood, or he just wanted to raise someone, it was not impossible. ”
Ding Qin can understand the previous ones, but as for what he wants to raise a person, he doesn't understand it too well, "What do you mean by wanting to raise a person?"
Nong said, "Well, how do you say it." You know, within the Chenli Sect, it is forbidden to have illegitimate heirs, and it is also forbidden to marry. However, some people have a strong desire and always have to solve it. So some of these people go out to solve it, and some will secretly raise someone in their own homes. I know a few. ”
Ding Qin listened to Nong's explanation, and suddenly felt that his head was a little big. I didn't expect that such a situation would occur in Chenli Sect.
But the problem is that none of these situations are likely to happen to the father. My father doesn't know anything about architecture at all, and he can't have any key information, so as for being raised at home, it is estimated that he would rather die than obey.
Seeing that Ding Qin's face was not good, the farmer probably couldn't bear it, and said, "You don't have to be discouraged." Now you are a member of the Chenli Sect, and if you want to find someone, you can find it slowly. Find a month, a year, ten years, twenty years, it's all possible. Just remember not to be guilty of asking about other people's pasts. ”
Ding Qin said, "Thank you, Master, for your advice." ”
Forcibly enduring the turmoil in his heart, Ding Qin spent another two weeks here. Suddenly, one day, someone from the inheritance institute sent a letter, which was a justice to He Yan.
He Yan's name has not changed, and she is still called He Yan. Come to think of it, this must have something to do with her more serious personality.
In the past two weeks, Ding Qin basically walked through all the departments of each hospital. On the one hand, he has to continue to familiarize himself with the environment and prepare for something drastic that he may do in the future. Second, this is also laying the foundation for his father.
Because among these departments I went to, there were quite a few hospitable people. Even if Ding Qin didn't inquire, they would introduce the situation to Ding Qin very kindly.
It's just that the craftsman team that Ding Qin wants to go to the most is not an internal department, so it is difficult for outsiders to enter except for their leading body.
Of course, as for who raised the man, Ding Qin naturally found it difficult to get the news.
Just as he was thinking about what to do next, Chen Lizong suddenly had an incident that caught everyone's attention.
Yu Fei of the Ministry of Medicine suddenly fell ill and died!
For others, the concern is that Mr. Ren could go straight to the position of Minister of Medicine.
But for Ding Qin, it is related to another matter.
He Yan's safety.
He Yan is Yu Fei's disciple, and as soon as the master dies, of course the apprentice will have no backer.
Previously, Ren Qianqiu had always wanted to kill He Yan, although now that He Yan was an official disciple, he couldn't do it openly, but he had the opportunity to do it.
With this uneasiness in his heart, he decided to go to the medical department again and meet with He Yan.
Regarding Ding Qin's thoughts, Nong's family was obviously a little worried. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to take Ding Qin to go in person in the name of mourning.
The whole department of the Ministry of Medicine is now wearing linen and filial piety, and after entering, it gives people an extremely bleak and gloomy feeling. Outside the mourning hall, paper money is flying, and inside the mourning hall, the fragrance is lingering.
Since Nongshi is the minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, as soon as he arrived at the Ministry of Medicine, someone had already gone in to report it. It's just that the current Ren Qianqiu doesn't have the same respectful attitude as before, and has been waiting in the mourning hall.
After the farmer arrived, he had no expression on his face, and said in a slightly cold tone, "The Minister of Agriculture is here." ”
Nong's did not pick on him. "It's also right to give Yu Feidao a few words. ”
Ding Qin was a little unaccustomed to it in his heart. This Ren Qianqiu, a few days ago, was still the same face as a low person, and now that Yu Fei is dead, it may be a matter of course to take over as the Minister of Medicine, and it will be like being on an equal footing with the Nong's family.
For such a person, Ding Qin looked down on him in his heart.
Ren Qianqiu looked at Ding Qin, and he didn't know why he frowned slightly. The details of his expression were also seen by Ding Qin.
Since the farmer is an elder, he will not give Yu Fei incense. But Ding Qin was considered an equal, so he took the incense handed by a disciple on the side, and made a few salutes after inserting it.
Ren Qianqiu saw Ding Qin retreat and said, "He Yan, you can give the guest a gift in return." ”
As soon as he heard He Yan's name, Ding Qin couldn't help but feel excited. But he knew where he was now, and Johnson couldn't bear not to show it in his face.
He Yan had been kneeling on the side before, burning paper money constantly. She was dressed in a white plain dress, which Ding Qin had not recognized before.
Hearing Ren Qianqiu's command, He Yan stood up, knelt down to Ding Qin's side again, and kowtowed. After that, she stood up and glanced at Ding Qin.
Ding Qin's heart almost rose to his throat. He was very afraid that He Yan would call out his name at this time, and then recognize him.
In that case, it will not be good for himself or He Yan.
Because since the two of them entered the Chenli Sect, there has been no contact. Knowing each other at this time can only show that the two people knew each other in the past.
In this way, it is equivalent to not forgetting the past and violating the dogma of the Chenli Sect.
However, to Ding Qin's surprise, He Yan was as if she had never seen him at all, and she couldn't see any change in expression on her face, and even her eyes didn't fluctuate, "Thank you for coming to pay tribute to Master." ”
Ding Qin also returned the salute and said softly, "Everything in the world is changeable, please mourn yourself and pay attention to your body." ”
When he said this, he was actually deliberately reminding He Yan to pay attention to safety.
He Yan still didn't show an abnormal expression and emotion, and half-bowed her head and said, "Thank you Minister and fellow disciples." ”
After saying that, she didn't even make any extra movements, knelt back in her original position, and continued to add paper money to the fire.
Ding Qin's heart that had been hanging finally let go.
He Yan is really a smart woman, she knows how to protect herself here, and she seems to adapt to the environment here faster than Ding Qin.
Of course, this could also be her superb acting skills.
It's just that seeing He Yan's appearance just now, and her kneeling here like this, Ding Qin's heart was sour, and he suddenly felt very distressed.
Nongshi looked at Ren Qianqiu again, "You also mourn by the way." ”
Ren Qianqiu said with a cold face, "Minister Xie." Qianqiu is busy here, so I won't send it after a while. ”
Nong Shi did not answer, turned around and left. Ding Qin paused slightly and followed closely behind.
It wasn't until he left the medical department that Ding Qin said to Nong's family, "I really don't hide it from Master, I was very nervous just now." ”
Nong said, "It's okay. You and that He Yan performed well. Ren Qianqiu had to ask about your origin before, it was probably related to He Yan. Now, the two of you are like passers-by, and he must be very disappointed. ”
Ding Qin said, "But I always feel that this Ren Qianqiu is extremely hostile to me." ”
Nongshi snorted in his nose and smiled lightly, "What if there is hostility? With me, what are you afraid of? Even if he takes over as the minister of medicine, he will only be on an equal footing with me, and with the question of seniority, he will not dare to do anything to you." ”
Ding Qin nodded. He didn't actually care how much Ren Qianqiu would treat him, but wanted to know the specific reason.
He was afraid that this matter had something to do with his father.
His father looked very similar to himself, and when he was in the brother tribe, he was already recognized by a madman.
Ren Qianqiu is not a madman, and he probably won't admit his mistake. But he may suspect that he is Ding Shouyi's son. In that case, the process of finding a father will be even more troublesome.
Before the two men could return to their lodgings, a man came running at great speed in the distance. He handed an envelope to the Nong clan, "Minister, there is an important meeting in the sect, and all the elders and ministers must attend, please come to the Law Enforcement Yuan as soon as possible." ”
Nong took the envelope and let the man go first. His face was full of suspicion, and he muttered, "It's strange that you're going to the Law Enforcement Agency for an important meeting?" ”
After opening the envelope, it was only a meeting notice, and there was no content written on it, only a secret letter-like mark.
Ding Qinchen didn't understand the rules of the sect very well, so he naturally asked the Nong's family, "Is it strange to go to the Law Enforcement Academy?"
"Of course it's strange. Generally speaking, it must be a big event to convene people at the level of the entire minister and above to attend the meeting. And the Law Enforcement Agency rarely has such a serious matter. Unless,"
His face was very serious, "Unless, there is an extremely important person in the Chenli Sect who has violated the strict and important rules." ”
