Outside.

Zhang Mu and Ji Ruoshui stood side by side in the air.

After being silent for a while, Ji Ruoshui took the lead and said, "Senior brother, it's time here, but you want to leave?" ”

Zhang Mu replied to the question: "Senior sister, when did you start to influence my divine sense?" ”

Ji Ruoshui hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "At the beginning of the meeting! ”

"Why do you do that?" Zhang Mu asked.

Ji Ruoshui looked at the stars in the sky and said lightly: "The stars are shining, and the moon shadow is alone!" ”

Zhang Mu understood that Ji Ruoshui's move was also well-intentioned, because he was afraid that after the two of them got along for a long time, they would see things and think about people all day long, and always think about Yuexi.

Therefore, it unconsciously affected his consciousness, so that he poured his attention into her, and therefore made him make many inappropriate moves.

Thinking of this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Senior sister, your move almost made me think about something else!" ”

Ji Ruoshui smiled lightly and said, "Isn't it better to get up!" ”

Zhang Muwan'er sighed lightly and said, "Let's go!" ”

Ji Ruoshui swept the dust, and the indefinite door slowly appeared in the night sky above the two of them, and when it was completely condensed, he grabbed Zhang Mu and flew into the door.

In less than a day, Chengzhou boundary mountain.

After Zhang Mu and Ji Ruoshui separated, he drove the colorful sky feather and flew quickly to Lingya City.

Half a day later, Zhang Mu came to the sky above Lingya City, and saw that everything in the city was in order, and there was no depression after the corpse demon disaster.

Landing in the mansion, seeing that Yu Lechuan was burying his head in processing and reviewing official documents from all over the country, he stepped forward and said jokingly: "Yu Fuzhi, has there been an important incident in the mansion recently?" ”

"Inspector Zhang?" Yu Lechuan stopped reading, walked up to Zhang Mu happily, bowed, and said, "Lechuan see Inspector Zhang!" ”

The two sat down, and Yu Lechuan said: "Everything in the house has been very normal recently. ”

"How is it over there in Dongming Mansion?" Zhang Mu asked.

"It's business as usual." Yu Lechuan smiled, and said with admiration in his tone: "Thanks to the adult's method of "deliberative autonomy", in the nearly month since the adult's departure, the operation of the two governments has been very stable, and there have been almost no mistakes. ”

Zhang Mu nodded and said with a smile: "To have such a situation, the most important thing is to benefit from Yu Fuzhi's talent in governing the world!" ”

Yu Lechuan smiled modestly, shook his head and said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" Yu Lechuan smiled modestly.

The two chatted for a while.

Yu Lechuan suddenly looked frightened on his forehead, thought of something, and said: "Inspector Zhang, a few days ago, Fairy Su Lian of Fuyao Palace came to Lingya City, saying that he wanted to find Inspector Zhang, it seems that there is something important to discuss!" ”

"Where is she now?" Zhang Mu asked.

Yu Lechuan said: "After waiting in the city for a day, I didn't know when Inspector Zhang would return, so I went to Dongming Mansion to wait. ”

"In that case, I won't stay here any longer." Zhang Mu got up and said.

Yu Lechuan then got up and said, "Inspector Zhang, why don't I call Yu Shuang back now, eat a meal of spiritual food and leave?" ”

"Next time."

Zhang Mu waved goodbye to Yu Lechuan, went to the backyard of the government to take a look at Jiaxu, and saw that everything was as usual, so he drove the colorful sky feather towards Dongming Mansion.

Fly away for most of the day.

Dongming Mansion, Su Lian, who was waiting in the middle of the ya, saw Zhang Mu returning, and got up happily to greet him: "Zhang Gongzi, you are finally back!" ”

Zhang Mu smiled and said, "I heard Yu Lechuan say that you have been waiting for me for several days, but what is the important matter?" ”

Su Lian took out a seal letter from the Baifu Inspector, put it on the table in front of the two, and said, "Zhang Gongzi, this is the seal letter representing the authority of the Baifu Inspector, you take it first." ”

Zhang Mu picked up the Baifu Patrol Seal and looked at it, and saw that the four characters of Baifu Patrol were engraved on the bottom of the seal, and the overall shape was similar to that of the ordinary patrol seal, but it was slightly larger.

took out the original inspection seal, handed it back to Su Lian, and said, "Does Princess Zhengjun have any other explanations?" ”

"Yes." Su Lian sighed and said, "Although Gongzi has now obtained the seal letter of the Hundred Mansions Inspector, he can't really sit on the post of Hundred Mansions Inspector. ”

Zhang Mu saw that there seemed to be a hidden meaning in Su Lian's words, and asked, "Miss Su, why is this?" ”

"It's not those abominable county guards!" Su Lian explained: "They are afraid that after Gongzi appoints the post of inspector of the Hundred Mansions, the Lord will completely control the prefectures of Tangyang County, so they will obstruct Gongzi's appointment!" ”

"Moreover, since Tu Wu died in Tangyang County, the Imperial Military Guard also wants to take this opportunity to send a few Qianling to Tangyang County, wanting to extend the power of the military guard to Tangyang County in disguise."

"Therefore, they also obstruct this appointment in every way!"

After hearing this, Zhang Mu sighed, the constraints on Mi Muyun were even more serious than he imagined, and he had to face such great resistance just by appointing a less important position as the inspector of the Hundred Mansions.

Looking at the Baifu Patrol Seal in front of him, he asked out loud: "Since this is the case, then why did you bring the seal letter again?" ”

"Childe listen to me slowly." Su Lian said in detail: "After the lord and them stalemate for a few days, they saw that the lord's appointment of the prince was inevitable, so they no longer blocked it head-on, and began to retreat to the second most important thing, saying that the prince's qualifications were shallow and not enough to serve as the inspector of the hundred mansions. ”

"If you want to really take office, you need to make another achievement."

"After a few pulls, they asked Gongzi to go to the Yunlu Wilderness to find the two floating treasure ships that were used for pioneering a hundred years ago."

"Only after finding it can we truly succeed to the position of inspector of Baifu."

"The Lord has no better way but to compromise their conditions!"

Zhang Mu listened to the whole process, understood in his heart that it was not easy for Mi Muyun, and said with a smile: "It's just two floating treasure ships, and it's not just that you can find them back casually." ”

"If it's really just for Childe to retrieve the treasure ship, it will be much easier." Su Lian said worriedly: "But the lord went back and looked through the files about the disappearance of the two treasure ships, and found that the records in them were vague, and the disappearance of these two floating treasure ships may not be as simple as it seems." ”

"The lord said that if the prince feels that something cannot be done, he can symbolically turn around on the edge of the wilderness of Yunlu and land."

"After coming back, the lord will find two similar floating treasure ships for Gongzi, and say that they are the two missing."

"Anyway, it's very old, and no one will see the clues."

"Princess Zhengjun's arrangement is thoughtful." Zhang Mu said: "Did Princess Zhengjun say when I should leave?" ”

"The Lord wants the son to take on the position of Inspector of the Hundred Mansions as soon as possible, the sooner the better!" Su Lian said.

"Okay, I see." Zhang Mu said.

Then, the two talked about the old for a while, and Su Lian got up and returned.

Sending Su Lian away, Zhang Mu entered the third space of the demon refining pot.

Here, Sanniang was practicing the "Nine Techniques of Spiritual Wind" in a large hall, and when she saw Zhang Mu coming, she got up and said, "Sanniang has seen the master. ”

Zhang Mu nodded and said, "How's the practice?" ”

"This exercise is very consistent with me, and after combing through the past few days, there is a faint trend that is about to break through to the late stage of Gathering Spirits." Sanniang said happily.

When Ji Ruoshui transformed Sanzhi Niangniang into a spirit puppet Sanniang, not only did she completely retain her cultivation, but also washed her demon body again.

At this time, Sanniang's background is several points stronger than that of ordinary spiritual cultivators, coupled with the "Nine Techniques of Spiritual Wind" that Ji Ruoshui specially found for her, it is normal to have this improvement in just a few days.

"Well, that's good!"

Zhang Mu praised and encouraged him a few more words, and then came to the first space and began to check the situation of the refining array.

Since the three spirit puppets had been refining the sub-arrays day and night, after the accumulation of this period of time, plus the ones he had refined a few days ago, the total number of sub-arrays had reached a gratifying five hundred and twenty-seven.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Mu simply refined the sub-array with the three spirit puppets.

After three days, he directly gathered seven hundred and twenty sub-arrays, combined them into two formation bases and entered the dantian, and then withdrew from the demon refining pot.

Two more days passed.

Zhang Mu arranged all the matters of the two mansions, got up and went to Xiting Mansion, which is located in the southwest of Dongming Mansion.

...

Although Xiting Mansion and Dongming Mansion are connected, there are two or three thousand miles of mountains and mountains in the middle, and the traffic is very inconvenient, resulting in the communication between the two mansions is not as close as that of Lingya Mansion.

Therefore, the corpse demon disaster more than a month ago did not cause any impact on Xiting Mansion.

Moreover, the situation in Xiting Mansion is completely different from that of Dongming and Lingya.

Because there is a huge canyon connecting the clouds and land on the border, the goods of the two places can avoid the dangerous boundary mountains and circulate back and forth through the canyon.

Therefore, the commerce here is very developed, so that almost all the forces of the Cangling Emperor have established their own chambers of commerce here.

Even some of the big forces in other imperial palaces, who do not hesitate to cross tens of thousands of miles, also want to install their own forces here in order to be able to share some benefits.

Xiting Mansion benefits from these unique conditions, and it can be said that it is one of the few wealthy mansions in the Cangling Palace, and its prosperity is no less than that of Wanling City in the central place.

This is also one of the main reasons why the several county guards representing the various forces in the Cangling Imperial Palace are unwilling to Mi Muyun to truly control this place.

After all, in a place where interests are so intertwined, no one would want to be clamped down on from above.

It is rumored that the county guard of Tangyang County had to take the initiative to step down from the position of county guard because he touched the interests of certain forces.

Zhang Mu fell a colorful sky feather outside the city, and entered the Xiting City through the city gate with the business travel.

The reason for this is that the various forces converge here, and the huge city is full of monks of all stripes.

Therefore, the laws in the city are extremely strict, and monks are usually forbidden to fly around the city at will.

As far as the eye can see on the street, in addition to some ordinary monks, there are also some dark-skinned, very strange dresses, and a wild atmosphere exuding a wild atmosphere.

Being among these people, listening to the babbling Yunlu language, it seems that people have returned to the barbaric era of slash-and-burn farming, and feel it carefully, there is a different kind of scenery.

Zhang Mu walked around the street for a while, had a general understanding of the situation in Xiting City, and then came to the Department of Commerce, which was in charge of all commercial affairs.

In the tall and wide yacha, there was an endless stream of monks and caravan masters, most of whom came here to issue customs documents like Zhang Mu.

No matter who or the force is, only by virtue of the exit documents, can they travel freely between the two places and close the door, and go to the clouds and land wilderness through the canyon.
