Shen Ling's diligent practice these days is not useless, and after many days of seeking fruitlessness, he finally has some improvement.

During this period, she has been working hard and never giving up, and it has slowly become a habit, waking up every morning to test the whereabouts of Jing Xi.

The hard work paid off, and it can be regarded as a glimmer of hope.

She sat in the courtyard, felt the light coming from outside, opened her eyes, and looked fixedly at the position where the glow in her hand was pointing, with an unbelievable and slightly confused gaze.

"There's finally a glimmer of hope." She murmured softly and continued to sense in a southeasterly direction, her body weakened from the exertion of too much force, but even if her lips were white, she was unwilling to let go of her only hope.

Shen Ling held everything in his hand tightly, for fear that he would let go of the traces that he had finally found in the next second.

After several repeated attempts, she found that there was still a faint sense.

She seemed to have been encouraged more, and continued to experiment hard, and her heart was overjoyed, which showed that the direction she saw was correct, Jing Xi was indeed there, but the induction was too weak, maybe it was too far away, a little inaccurate, and very vague.

She tried to find more clues, but after searching for a while, she only found the direction again, and there were no more specific details.

Another exploration was fruitless, but Shen Ling's body was a little tired, she could clearly feel that her body was gradually becoming weak, and she was consuming too much, but she still couldn't help but look for Jing Xi's whereabouts.

"In the spiritual spring in the southeast, what I can perceive is too weak to be accurate, you can send someone to take a look at the direction of the map first." Shen Ling said loudly.

After answering the voice, Commander Gu looked at Shen Ling's pale face, and couldn't help but persuade him, "County Lord, let's rest for a while, I can't eat a big fat man in one go, I have worked hard for so long in this matter, and I should take my time."

He knew that the county lord didn't like others to meddle in things, and he didn't think about criticizing her too much, but he just needed to tell her that anyone with a discerning eye could basically see that something was wrong.

Hearing this, Shen Ling lowered her head, as if she had thought of something, and relieved, "I know."

She really let go of the eighty percent of the strength she kept using in her hand, poured a glass of water and drank it gently.

When Commander Gu saw that she was listening to persuasion, he stopped persuading her, as long as she understood it in her heart.

After Shen Ling got up, she no longer did any hard work, but focused on looking at the portrait, she wondered if it was because her portrait was not like Jing Xi, so she couldn't find the result for a long time?

Once she had a guess in her heart, she couldn't help but work hard in this direction, and turned over the portraits she had saved up these days one after another, but then there was also the secret method given by the village chief before.

This secret method is already very simple, and the skin of the book has all fallen into dust, Shen Ling originally wanted to put it aside, but in his mind, he suddenly remembered what Commander Gu said, "You can't eat a big fat man in one breath", so he opened the book with the heart of diverting some thoughts.

And it seems that there is a providence in the dark, and the details of the puppet are recorded in detail in the book, Shen Ling saw this, as if he had opened a new continent, his eyes lit up, and he sat down and decided to read the book seriously.

She wiped the dust off the book and turned the slightly old pages, trying to find some realization.

The more she read it, the more fascinated she became, and realized that the book was not as simple as she imagined, and there must be a reason why the village chief was able to make it into a book and pass it on.

In this book, different types of puppets are introduced, and puppets have different shapes, but the ones made by Shen Ling are the most basic.

"No wonder I'm not accurate."

It dawned on her that there was a kind of puppet that she needed the most, and that it was thoughtful.

If she can create a puppet with a certain mind, although it is not as good as a real person, it is better than a real person.

At least the former still needs to be raised, while the latter only needs to be trained and controlled diligently, and it can be used well.

Seeing that Shen Ling hadn't read Jing Xi this afternoon, Commander Gu suddenly felt a little unconfident, so he went to her bedroom to investigate the situation.

Seeing her sitting there in a stable mood and flipping through a book, it was like the sun coming out in the west.

"See what I'm doing?"

Shen Ling noticed that Commander Gu was casting a strange look at him, and he always felt like something strange had something on his face, so he couldn't help but ask out loud.

"It's nothing, I found that the county lord suddenly started reading today."

Commander Gu is a sincere person, and he naturally answers Shen Ling's questions truthfully when he asks anything.

When she heard this, she suddenly laughed softly, it was rare to see her so gentle, and it was a little rare to see her in these days.

"It's as if I hadn't read before."

Her teasing made Commander Gu smile embarrassedly, and he didn't answer again, for fear of making her unhappy again.

In the silence, she understood why Commander Gu asked this, it was because she was in a terrible state these days.

"I'm looking through the books, and I'm looking through the books, and I'm looking for these puppets of mine that don't work very well, and I should make some side ones. And these new types of puppets can have some thoughts that are not as good as ordinary people, and in addition to having certain thoughts, they can also help me carefully search some hidden corners."

Shen Ling couldn't wait to find someone to share her thoughts on flipping through these books, and Commander Gu was the best candidate.

"These ideas of the county lord are not bad." Commander Gu smiled lightly and praised.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ling still didn't give up looking for Jing Ci, too, now that he finally got a glimpse of the dawn, no one would give up easily, as long as he could find someone at this juncture, it would be a good thing.

Seeing that Commander Gu was still interested, Shen Ling spoke up and continued to share the next matter with him, "As for the previous thoughtless puppets, they were too clumsy, and they didn't move until they arrived at the location, and there was very little information they could get, if I could practice a new one, maybe I would be able to find Jing Xi's whereabouts at hand."

Shen Ling's gaze was firm, and there was a little softness of victory, which made people look at it but were extremely fascinated.

"Also, the minister doesn't have much troops now, and training puppets to act as people is the best way, and puppets seem to be more professional in the search for people."

Gu Commander couldn't figure out why Shen Ling did this at first, but after listening to her analysis, he understood.

She wants to use her own strength to solve all this, and try not to involve others.

In order to gain a firm foothold on the border, most of the combat power in the hands of Commander Gu was invested in construction and protection.

Although the city of Yancheng is more peaceful than other places, there will still be some nomads or robbers from enemy countries to harass it, which is a point that has to be protected.
