Tu Su was in a bad mood for the past two days, first presided over the entrance examination of the Northern Sect, and there was such a thing as the withdrawal of the candidates, although in the eyes of the citizens of the capital, it was completely the two candidates who were dizzy, and it was they who suffered instead of the Northern Sect, but in the eyes of Tu Su, this was a failure of his own. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yuan Lai's comprehension does not need to be said to be a material that can be made, the talent candidate who was already in hand actually flew out at the end, the reason for this Tu Su was not very interested, he was angry at first and then a little regretful, after several elders in the inner courtyard of the Northern Sect heard that the candidate who solved the additional question with a poem was let go by Tu Su like this, Dean Tu was accused by these elders again, which made him even more depressed.

But that's not all, and then another thing was on his desk, and even in the middle of the night he still had to deal with those troublesome mundane chores, which made him a little tired.

"Your Majesty ordered Xu Jingtang to go out of the city, go south, and kill the evil cultivators!" Tu Su looked at the fold on the desk in surprise, and his brows suddenly tightened.

"Yes, I just heard the news about this thing, and I think it's very strange. The archdeacon of the outer court bowed.

Tu Su didn't speak, but his fingers unconsciously kept tapping on the table, thought about it and said, "Is it secretly sent by His Majesty or ......?"

"It's above board, I heard that this matter is not for Lord Xu to do it alone, but to send out a part of the Yulin Army, such a thing can't be hidden. ”

"Oh, what is it, Xu Jingtang alone is not enough, he has to lead the soldiers out. What is the identity of that cultist?" he asked.

The archdeacon shook his head and said: "I don't know, this matter itself has not been announced, and it is estimated that it is not immediately necessary to leave the capital, and there is no way to know the specific matter, but this killing evil cultivator has always been handed over to our Northern Sect, and this time His Majesty actually sent a personal guard out, which is obviously unusual, dean, you still have to pay attention." ”

Tu Su nodded, but his mind began to drift away, and the archdeacon took a careful glance to know that the dean had fallen into deep thought, and he carefully exited the door and quietly seemed like a tanuki.

The Yulin Army is a branch of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, which is directly under the Emperor's Majesty's personal guards, the backbone of the Imperial City, the two commanders of the Yulin Army are not good people, especially Xu Jingtang is loyal to His Majesty, and his strength is also very strong, even Tu Su is a little jealous of him, and now he wants to lead the troops out of the city to the south, this must not be an ordinary thing, Tu Su thought for a while but still had no clue, looked at the sky It was still late at night, and there were still a few hours before the early morning, he calmed down and began to sit at the table and close his eyes and pretend to sleep, Although he still can't avoid sleep when he has cultivated to this realm, sleeping for an hour or two every day is enough to get rid of fatigue.

In the early hours of the morning, it is time to go to court every day.

Before the sun rose in the east, the lights were lit up in some of the capital's mansions, and the scholars and officials got up, freshened up, put on their official uniforms, and then went out of the vermilion mansion without eating, got into the carriage, and marched along the deserted street to the imperial city.

Tu Su sat in the carriage and broke through the early morning mist to the palace wall, got out of the car, dressed up and walked through the main hall of the palace through the layers of gates.

Along the way, I inevitably met many ministers, and they all nodded to each other and passed by, Tu Su was special, not only because he was not a courtier but a dean of the Northern Sect, but also a talisman sword at his waist. It is a great honor to bring a weapon into the court, and it is also a very enviable honor, of course, Tu Su Saber is not to highlight his honor and status, but he is different from these courtiers after all, he is a cultivator first, and then a minister.

Although the line between the two has become increasingly blurred over the years.

Outside the main hall, he met Xie Lingyun, it was still early at this time, the door had not yet opened, but outside the main hall, there were already ministers leaning on the pillars to rest or talk in a low voice. The two looked at each other and smiled, and then walked together, Xie Lingyun looked at him and said in a low voice, "Dean Tu came very early today." ”

Tu Su smiled and said, "Isn't it the same for Master Xie, look at your expression these days." ”

Tu Su alluded to the attack of some people in the court on the Xie family these days, although it was not enthusiastic, but it was a blunt knife and had to be dealt with carefully, especially the Yushitai group of officials who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, although he was not deeply involved in the government and knew that Xie Lingyun had not had an easy time these days.

Xie Lingyun had a tired face, but his spirit seemed to be good, he smiled freely, and then turned to say: "By the way, about the little girl's abandonment of the exam, I will take her to accompany Dean Tu." ”

Tu Su looked flattered, and hurriedly said: "Lord Xie is serious, Cai Wei is a very good child, but unfortunately he has no relationship with my Northern Sect." ”

The two didn't talk too deeply, just talked a few words, and when there were more and more courtiers outside the main hall, the door of the main hall opened, and they poured into the main hall together.

This kind of thing is always boring.

Tu Su stood aside and secretly cultivated his divine sense, and when the court meeting was over, he left gently.

According to the usual habit, he should go out directly and leave the palace and return to Beizong, but today after he left the main hall, he turned a corner, asked the little eunuch a few words, and found the commander of Yulinwei standing quietly in the crowd - Xu Jingtang.

Xu Jingtang's age is not confused, whether it is in the eyes of ordinary people or in the eyes of cultivators, he is born with a solemn face, a short beard under his lips, a strong and straight back, wearing a Yulin guard robe, wearing a standard sword around his waist, and his eyes are slightly narrowed.

When he saw Tu Su coming over, he raised his eyebrows slightly, walked forward a few times and saluted, "Dean Tu." ”

Although he is the commander of the forbidden army and directly under the emperor, his official position is not high, especially in front of Tu Su, he has to be called an adult, of course, this is more out of etiquette than fear, since ancient times, it has been said that the prime minister is a seven-grade official in front of the door, and Xu Jingtang is equivalent to a number of products in front of the emperor?

Tu Su smiled faintly and said, "Does General Xu have time to accompany me for a ride?"

This is an invitation, and the Great Commander of the Feather Forest Wei glanced at it and nodded happily.

The two of them fell behind the ministers, found a remote and quiet road, and slowly walked outside the imperial city.

Neither Tu Su nor Xu Jingtang were small people, and when they saw the two walking together, the little eunuchs in the palace also retreated.

The imperial city is huge, and after walking for a while, Xu Jingtang kept his lips closed, and did not speak first, Tu Su pondered for a while before suddenly saying: "I heard that General Xu is going out of the capital in a few days, is there such a thing?"

Xu Jingtang's thick eyebrows moved slightly, and he said calmly: "This is indeed the case, I also just learned that His Majesty will say it in the court in a few days." ”

Since it is to be said, it is not a big secret, he simply did not pretend to be stupid, and said frankly, and in Xu Jingtang's heart, it would not be difficult for Tu Su to really want to know, but it would take a little more effort, he weighed the severity of the matter, and simply said it directly, it can be regarded as a good sale of Beizong.

"Oh? It's true. I heard that the general is going to be ordered to capture and kill an evil cultivator, but I don't know what the origin of this evil cultivator is, and I still have to bother the Yulin army to dispatch?"

Xu Jingtang was silent for a moment when he heard this, and when he saw Tu Su's eyes staring over, he thought for a while and said, "I don't know much, I only know that the evil cultivator came from the northwest, and he is not from the cultivation sect, but from the account of General Long Xiang, so to speak...... Does the Dean understand?"

Tu Su was stunned! Suddenly remembered something he had heard recently, and then his heart brightened, he suddenly took a breath of enlightenment, and then sighed: "It turned out to be someone in his army, no wonder...... I want General Xu to make a move!"

Afterwards, Tu Su shook his head and said meaningfully: "In this way, this 'evil cultivator' is not easy to catch." ”
