Chapter 60: I want to practice my skills
Although the killers who caught up have all been killed by Xie Nanshidang Street, this movement is not small. As long as you have the heart to investigate, you will know that the beggar Xiao Qi is now in the Song Mansion.
Song Yu reconciled Nan Shiyuan thought that there would be a wave of assassinations at night, but he didn't expect that the night would be spent very peacefully.
Early the next morning, Song Yu prepared a thin gift, ready to visit those guests he had invited one by one, especially those from the sect. There is only one purpose, if the outcome cannot be changed, then it is hoped that these people will be aware of prevention as soon as possible and recover the losses as much as possible.
"Has Elder Ming ever heard of the appearance of strange ghosts in the city?" Song Yu took a sip of tea and went straight to the point, this was the fifteenth time he had mentioned this sentence in a day.
Ming Yuyuan is an elder of the Danchen faction, and this sect mainly practices Dan cultivation in order to live forever, supplemented by the art of star gossip to calculate good fortune and evil. Basically, he doesn't participate much in the battle with strange ghosts and beasts, but he occupies a very important position in the entire Dao Gate.
Not to mention that Dan Xiu's pill can assist in cultivation, even if it is a matter of calculating good luck and evil, it is enough for everyone to hold it.
Ming Yuyuan touched his beard, which was as white as fresh snow, and his expression looked very kind: "The Ping An Division asked the old man to calculate this matter a few days ago, but the calculation result is that although there are strange ghosts mixed into the city, Yongxi has the protection of the formation, and it will not cause too much loss." Lord Song can rest assured, even if he is really attacked by strange ghosts, there are cultivators like us guarding this place, and he will not let the strange ghosts wreak havoc. ”
Song Yu sneered twice in his heart, this old man was the first to leave the people and flee here on the grounds that he was not a combatant last week. But his eyes were full of admiration, and he smiled and flattered: "Fortunately, there are capable people like Elder Ming in Yongxi Prefecture stationed ......."
By the time Song Yu left the Danchen faction's station, the sun was already setting in the west.
"My lord, where are we going next?" Ah Han had been waiting at the door to guard the carriage, and when he saw Song Yu coming out, he quickly drove forward.
Song Yu raised his eyes and looked at the most majestic building in the center of the entire Yongxi Prefecture, the State Lord's Mansion. "The most important place, of course, is the finale."
The door opened in the state lord's mansion was still yesterday's Liao minister, and when he saw that the person who came was Song Yu, he first showed a surprised look, and then quickly opened the door. "Lord Song, please come in."
Song Yu bowed, handed the gift in Ah Han's hand to Liao Changzhi, and said: "Yesterday, there was a sudden change in the family, and the housewarming banquet was forced to be canceled. ”
Song Yu came to the governor's mansion, but he deliberately pointed out the deputy governor to prove that he heard everything Liao Changzhi said yesterday. Since yesterday was a gift from the deputy state lord, this apology should naturally have a share of the vice state lord.
Liao Changzhi really looked a lot happier, and directly introduced Song Yu into the main hall: "The state lord is still in retreat and does not see outsiders, but the deputy state lord is in the mansion at this time, Lord Song will wait inside, let me report first." ”
"I'm sorry Mr. Liao." Song Yu smiled and dealt with it, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh after the people left, and after the day's entertainment, he felt that his face was stiff with a smile.
If only Qiao Yi could wake up earlier, she can say a lot of things for herself in these scenes. As for the people in his family now...... Except for Miss Ren Wan, there is no one who can stand up to the problem, but it is impossible for Miss Ren Wan to spare time to accompany him everywhere.
In fact, it's not impossible, maybe you can take Xie Nanshi with you!
Just as Song Yu was thinking wildly, Vice Governor Liu Huaijun walked in from outside with his hands behind his back. He looks like he is about to be old, his facial features are very upright and elegant, and he is wearing a red official robe, which looks like a decent man and a gentleman from the appearance.
If it weren't for what Xiao Qi said, Song Yu's first reaction would definitely be to regard the other party as a good person. But if these assassinations were all committed by the deputy governor, and even sent his subordinates to his house to set fire to arrest people, why would he face himself so calmly?
Of course, Song Yu didn't listen to Xiao Qi's family, and he had to collect evidence to distinguish whether it was good or bad.
Liu Huaijun naturally sat on the main seat, asked his subordinates to come over to watch the tea, and then asked: "Liu heard that Lord Song's mansion was hit by fire, but did it affect it?" ”
Song Yu replied with a smile: "I'm tired of the Lord of Liuzhou, the fire is not big, and it will be extinguished soon." ”
His title of Lord Liuzhou obviously pleased the other party, and Liu Huaijun's expression eased a lot: "Lord Song has just come to Yongxi, if you need anything, you can come to the Governor's Mansion at any time." ”
"There's really something I want to ask Lord Liuzhou." Song Yu kept smiling, but his words were unceremoniously: "Lord Liuzhou should know that there have been frequent incidents of strange ghosts in the state recently, which proves that there are loopholes in the state gate formation......"
Liu Huaijun frowned and interrupted Song Yu's words: "The matter of strange ghosts should be in charge of the Ping An Division, and it is inconvenient for me to intervene." ”
Song Yu dragged the teacup with both hands and waited quietly for Liu Huaijun to finish speaking: "The Lord of Liuzhou misunderstood, the lower official did not ask the Lord of Liuzhou to investigate the ghosts, but asked the Lord of Liuzhou to cooperate with the major sects, strengthen the formation of the state gate, and prevent the invasion of the ghosts. ”
Liu Huaijun's eyelids lifted slightly, as if he was surprised by Song Yu's request. He looked at Song Yu silently, his originally gentle gaze suddenly became sharp, but it was only a moment before he regained his gentle appearance: "Lord Song is asking for the people's life, and this official is duty-bound." However, how does Lord Song want this official to be strengthened? ”
"The state gate formation is controlled by the seal letter, and it stands to reason that as long as there is no problem with the seal letter in hand, any strange ghost should be stopped outside the city......
Song Yu deliberately paused for a moment when he spoke, and seeing that Liu Huaijun was still listening and there was nothing abnormal, he sighed secretly in his heart The old fox continued: "If you want to consolidate the formation and track down the strange ghosts entering the city, you need to start with the seal letter. ”
"What does Lord Song mean is that there is something wrong with Yongxi's seal letter?" Liu Huaijun didn't wait for Song Yu to refute, and said with a smile: "But the seal letter has always been in the hands of the state lord, and this official has no right to intervene." ”
Song Yu naturally didn't expect to ask anything: "Lord Liu has misunderstood, what does Xia Guan mean, can you trace the source of the strange ghost from the seal letter?" ”
"Understood, this official will send someone to investigate." Liu Huaijun held his chin with one hand, and asked casually: "But Lord Song is in the Ping An Division, and this official heard that Lord Zhou of the Ping An Division also trusts Lord Song, why don't you know to track it down from the Ping An Division?" ”
Song Yu stared at Liu Huaijun's eyes and smiled: "The lower officials are presumptuous, and the lower officials of the Ping An Division will naturally pursue them." ”
Liu Huaijun looked at Song Yu, and his eyes seemed to have a deep meaning: "This is very good." ”
Seeing that Liu Huaijun had no intention of talking again, Song Yu secretly sighed in his heart that if what the beggar Xiao Qi said was true, then the deputy state lord was really calm, and he never mentioned that he brought the little beggar into the mansion yesterday.
But people are not in a hurry, and he is not in a hurry, to see who consumes whom. Song Yu raised his hand and took a sip of tea, and then put the teacup on the coffee table on the side: "The tea has been drunk, thank you Liuzhou for the main order." The lower official did not bother and took his leave. He said this as if he really had just come for tea.
"Master Song, walk slowly." Liu Huaijun got up and sent the person to the door.
"Lord Liuzhou stays." Song Yu's head was about to hurt when he was entertaining, for fear that this Vice Governor Liu would come out with him, and he strode out of the State Lord's Mansion directly.
Liu Huaijun watched Song Yu leave, and Liao Changzhi walked out of the corner and bowed to Liu Huaijun: "State Lord." ”
Liu Huaijun retracted his gaze: "Let people keep an eye on it, find an opportunity to take people away as soon as possible." He said with a pause: "If you don't have a chance, get rid of everything that should be removed." ”
"Yes." Liao Chang replied and retreated back into the shadows in the corner.
……
As soon as Song Yu entered the carriage, he saw Xie Nanshi sitting inside.
A fairy-like character like him, it was naturally impossible to accompany Song Yu to socialize one by one, but it finally appeared when he might encounter danger. Song Yu looked at the state lord's mansion outside the carriage, and felt inexplicably relieved in his heart, he finally raised this thigh half-cooked.
Xie Nanshi looked at Song Yu with puzzled eyes, after this person got into the carriage and saw him, his expression was first surprised, and then inexplicably relieved, and there were so many changes that people felt that there was something wrong with it.
Fortunately, Song Yu's psychological activities only appeared for a short time, and he turned the topic back to the topic: "They said that the state lord was in retreat and did not see guests. ”
Xie Nanshi frowned, he couldn't hear anything wrong with this statement. With the appearance of strange ghosts, the aura of the entire continent was revived, the Dao Sect re-emerged, and even gradually comprehended immortality. As a result, many cultivators became addicted to cultivation and even abandoned their original government affairs.
Song Yu lowered the curtain that blocked the light, and the whole person was crooked on the seat, very unsitting, which formed a sharp contrast with Xie Nanshi, who was sitting straight on the side. "Not to mention anything else, this deputy state lord Liu Huaijun is indeed very much like the owner of this state lord mansion."
Xie Nanshi was noncommittal, and turned to the news he found out today: "There has not been an incident of strange ghosts entering the city in Yongxi Prefecture for thirty years, and there have only been two strange ghost attacks on the surface recently. ”
I'm afraid this refers to the two times when Song Yu rescued Xiao Qi, because the noise was too loud, and everyone knew about it. If you add the strange ghost that Xie Nanshi killed when he tracked down Xiao Qi's whereabouts yesterday, then there were a total of three strange ghosts in Yongxi Prefecture, all of them came to Xiao Qi.
Song Yu obviously also understood the unfinished meaning in Xie Nanshi's mouth: "The purpose is so clear, just because he saw a conspiracy?" ”
The purpose of the strange ghost is obviously Xiao Qi, as long as Xiao Qi is in the mansion, he will be able to figure it out sooner or later. However, in the future, the joint attack of strange ghosts and strange beasts should be fully prepared in advance.
Although Song Yu has tried his best to remind the garrisons of various sects today, whether or not he can attract the attention of the other party is probably metaphysics.
"I'll go out of the city tomorrow to investigate." Xie Nanshi added: "You stay in the mansion and don't go out." ”
Since a large number of strange beasts have gathered, it is impossible for the outside of the city to be without a little warning. If there is credible evidence, those sects will not continue to be left alone.
Song Yu paused and asked seriously, "Do you mind bringing an extra oil bottle?" ”
