"This is the diverticulum of the disciples of the Qianjia family, this room belongs to the original second senior brother, and it is just right for you to live. Early tomorrow morning, I'll call Brother Teng. Dong Yao confessed,

The disciples of the Qianjia family have all traveled far away, and the residences that belong to them here are also empty, but only Teng Xiang has been arranged here, whether it is Feng Yingxiu or Xiaopei, they will live in the inner house with Dong Yao Chijing.

Because of this, after seeing another room that was obviously still inhabited, Teng Xiang's curiosity was aroused. He pointed to the room across from him with the door closed and the panes faintly lit out, "Who lives here?"

Dong Yao looked back and sighed softly: "That's the third senior brother, but for some special reasons, he has been unconscious, and my sister-in-law will have to take care of it later." Before bringing the door, Dong Yao added: "So you don't have to worry about waking him up at night." ”

Watching Dong Yao's slender figure go farther and farther, Teng Xiang took a deep breath and felt the taste of the cold dew belonging to late autumn, the night here seemed to be no different from the outside world, the half-round waning moon was covered by a thick haze, and the stars in the twilight sky were faint.

Perhaps out of curiosity, Teng Xiang walked gently towards the opposite door, he really wanted to see what the unconscious three disciples of the Qianjia family looked like, so far, he had seen a total of three disciples of the Qianjia, and two of them were girls and young children who had only been seen today and were obviously unperfected in their cultivation, for him, it seemed that there was always something unfinished.

The door was not tight, Teng Xiang just pushed his hand, and the door creaked and opened inward, and a slight smell of mixed herbs and incense brushed his nose, and the yellow and clear light leaked out, reflecting Teng Xiang's face as if he had been coated with a layer of gold powder.

The room was poorly furnished, with a single bed and a bucket by the door, but the dry and clean bottom of the bucket clearly showed that the bucket had not been used for a long time. The futon on the couch was wrapped in a slender human figure, and it could be seen from the neat folds on the futon that the person in the futon had never moved.

Teng Xiang could faintly hear a uniform snort, and when he cautiously poked his head over, he saw a young face emerging from the top of the futon, with faint eyebrows, closed eyes, the bridge of the nose was a little upturned, the jaw was beardless, and the lips showed a downward curve, as if struggling to resist something.

Seeing this glance, it did not satisfy Teng Xiang's curiosity, and it was difficult for such an ordinary face to make people sigh and admire, but then again, when the fat swordsman with a red face appeared in front of him for the first time, he also didn't have too deep feelings, which can be regarded as an example of how people can't look good, who knows what kind of power is enough to kill demons and eliminate demons in the body of this disciple of the Qianjia who is as sleepy as a coma?

As for what special reason caused him to fall into a coma, Dong Yao didn't say it just now, and Teng Xiang didn't bother to ask, and in his memory, it seemed that Gan Fei had never said that he had such an unconscious third junior disciple in the past.

This is the fourth Qianjia person I have seen, Teng Xiang said to himself in his heart, although Dong Yao said that he didn't have to worry about waking him up, but Teng Xiang closed the door for fear of disturbing the other party's sleep, and then tiptoed away, just when he turned around and was about to enter his room, he saw Dong Shao, who was wearing a green robe and was looking at himself smiling, standing by the door with his hands.

At the end of the dinner, Dong Shao took his wife and son to retire first, and their departure made Dong Yao feel relieved, and even laughed with Xiaopei a little louder, and Teng Xiang also felt a strange sense of ease, perhaps the other party's kind of eyes that always had a deep meaning made him quite uncomfortable, and now, he saw this smile again, and the owner of the Jingling Hao clan actually took the initiative to find him.

"Teng Gongzi is not sleepy, right?" It seemed to be just a purely polite greeting, and there was no intention of asking at all, Dong Shao made another gesture of invitation, "Eating drunk and sleeping is not the way to maintain health, Teng Gongzi will accompany me for a walk." ”

Teng Xiang was surprised, but he politely waved to Dong Shao: "Mr. Dong has an order, how dare the lower officials disobey." ”

Dong Shao frowned slightly, his eyes examined Teng Xiang's face deeply again, and then Shi Ran walked up, Teng Xiang only didn't see it, walked behind Dong Shao with his head down, and deliberately fell back into a position.

"My son and I are both dedicated to being guests, the realm of immortals and gods here, but it has nothing to do with the officials of the mortal world, and I am not the season when I entered the office in the past. ”

"Don't dare. Teng Xiang's gentle voice came from behind him.

Dong Shao smiled, stopped, and motioned for Teng Xiang to stand beside him, the two stood side by side, Dong Shao was even half a head taller than Teng Xiang.

"How fast is it for you and me to walk together and express our hearts?" Dong Shao said with a smile, "Besides, I don't think that a man who is committed to subduing demons and subduing demons would be so rigid about the so-called famous officials in the mortal world. ”

Dong Shao's words made Teng Xiang straighten slightly and bent down pretending to be obedient, and he glanced at Dong Shao very seriously for the first time: "Even so, the younger generation is bold and presumptuous, and it is really unexpected to see Dong Gong's dignity here." ”

"There are accidents, but happiness may not be, and the son is afraid that he will not be able to speak. Dong Shao took a step, every step he took was very spaced, not at all like the pace of an old man who was over half a hundred years old, but Teng Xiang kept up with it step by step, listening to Dong Shao's words clearly in his ears.

"I don't treat Qing with power, and Qing doesn't treat me with wit, the reason why I come to you now is because I know that between the people who meet for the first time at the wine table, most of what they say is some insincere nonsense, and there are many people, how can it be compared to now, the twilight and the night are silent, it is the time to meet honestly. ”

Teng Xiang smiled, and he decided to listen to Dong Shao again.

"You don't like me, although you pretend to be very indifferent, but your deliberately concealed look and demeanor can't hide me, you think I'm a copper-covered person, who only knows how to drill tricks and ...... Let me think about this new word, how does it describe that Xie Anshi? Well, yes, yes, a power-seeking person who is bent on making a comeback. Dong Shao glanced at Teng Xiang, and the bright light in the other party's eyes meant that he was listening attentively, "This is also true, and it is not right." I asked my eldest son to marry the Yu family, and the second son secretly married the Langya Wang family, and even the youngest daughter had already arranged for her to marry the Beihai royal family, which were all my plans to revive my own clan. ”

"Dong Gong was originally a prominent family in the court, and this move was understandable. Teng Xiang was very strange that Dong Shao said this abruptly to himself, a junior official who had just met, and it was very unreasonable to say it in a shallow way.

"But now, my calculations have changed a little. Dong Shao was very satisfied with Teng Xiang's reaction now, he was not impatient or impatient, he was calm, as if he was planning a big deal, "I have heard of your mausoleum captain, there has been a lot of criticism in the court, and I think that you are where Da Sima installed his cronies, and even thought that it was an official office set up by Da Sima in order to get his hands on the national weapons of the temple. ”

"Fortunately, now those adults should be able to rest assured, the Captain of the Tomb is not targeting the things they are worried about, but these things are what the adults really need to be wary of. ”

"I didn't know until I got here. Dong Shao looked around, the courtyard of the Qian's house was simple and solemn, and it became a longing shadow in the night, and they walked on a gravel path, leading to the towering courtyard in front of them. "I couldn't believe it at first, it turned out that for thousands of years, there really was such a group of people who were like the Outer Feather Immortals, who had been dealing with the kind of evil that belonged to another world. What makes me even more gratified is that now that the DPRK and the Central Committee have finally set up such an official office, although it is not a rainy day, when that evil comes, our imperial court will not be able to stand still. ”

"Dong Gong has long known about the Tomb Commander?" In this southern court, almost everyone thinks that the Tomb Commander is an official office that drives away evil spirits and distributes all kinds of strange things, even if it is Huan Da Sima, he is more focused on the Northern Expedition to destroy the country, and seems to have forgotten the original intention of setting up the Tomb Commander.

"Of course I didn't know at first, not to mention that I had faded out of the official career for a long time, even if I was really in an official position, how could I pay attention to this little nine-grade Cao Rafter? It was I who sent someone to Jiankang to report the matter to Xie Anshi of the Ministry of Officials, but I didn't expect you, the Captain of the Tomb, to come over so soon. ”

Teng Xiang's heart was shocked, Lord Xie An, the secretary of the ministry, had come to inspect the Mausoleum Lieutenant a few times, but he had never mentioned the topic of already knowing the inside story of the Mausoleum Lieutenant, and couldn't help but wonder: "When did Dong Gong tell Lord Xie?"

"You sent a man a month ago, and he hasn't returned, but you came first. ”

Teng Xiang suddenly, calculated according to the time of the round-trip journey, he was afraid that when Lord Xie An learned the truth, he and Feng Yingxiu Xiaopei had already left on the way to Qian's house, but he didn't know what twists and turns would happen to the Lingwei after he went back this time. It's strange that Dong Shao always smiles deeply when he looks at himself, and most likely he sees him as being instructed by Lord Xie An.

However, Dong Shao's next words made Teng Xiang know that he was wrong.

"When you go back, you should find that your official office has changed, Anshi I know, he is a person who does things, not the kind of official who can only talk. Dong Shao smiled meaningfully again, "I also know how you became the captain of this mausoleum, very good, you don't belong to any faction in the court, and you don't have a good impression of Da Sima, which is why I can be open and honest now." ”

"Please also ask Dong Gong to make it clear. "That's all for that, Teng Xiang doesn't plan to go around in circles anymore.

"As I said, my plan to revive my clan has changed a little, and your Tomb Captain is the best opportunity in front of me, and the struggle for power and profit in the mortal world is nothing compared to the deeds of exorcising demons and destroying monsters and saving the common people. Once that kind of battle between humans and demons begins, I'm sure that the status of the Captain of the Shrine will skyrocket. Therefore, my daughter joined the Qianjia, I am very happy, and she said that she wants to marry a disciple of the Qianjia who used to fight in the sword rivers and lakes, and I have no objection, I can use this relationship to make this legendary Fu Demon Dao have a closer connection with your Tomb Commander, strengthen your power, and make the Tomb Commander an important agent in the court. ”

"Dong Gong treats him so kindly, I don't know what to ask for?" Teng Xiang didn't think that pie would fall from the sky.

"It's very simple, my daughter, or my future son-in-law, I can say that they will join the Shrine Captain, even the entire Qianjia family and many talented people you don't know, and at the same time ......" Dong Shao looked directly at Teng Xiang, which meant that his words had already reached the point, "...... My second son hopes to join the Shrine Commander, and all the power I say is counted under the door of the Dong family, and you are the head of the Dong family. ”

"Dong Gong is very loving, but he doesn't dare to be, with all due respect, the juniors came here to strengthen the Mausoleum Captain, and they were not turned away, that is, you can help you...... It seems that I can get ...... other way."

"Not everything can be obtained!" Dong Shao interrupted Teng Xiang with a smile, "For example, my Dong clan has fully funded the Tomb Captain, you know what your Tomb Captain is going to do in the future, so that you can gather thousands of armor, you also have to have the wealth and grain to raise soldiers, and it just so happens that my Dong family has abundant money and food, enough for three thousand people to spend for ten years, and this is only in terms of the amount of money and food that the Dong family has now." ”

"The Imperial Tomb Captain is the official office of the imperial court, not a private soldier of any family, and the imperial court will allocate food and salary to the Imperial Tomb Captain......"

"Yes, then you can only be at the mercy of those officials and eunuchs in the court, and if you don't pay you for a month, you will not be able to move an inch, and it is not even ruled out that after the Captain of the Tomb is taken seriously, he will install his own henchmen here, and then gradually squeeze you out, do you have the ability to resist? And I, I will never interfere with you, let you do what you should do according to your own wishes, my second son will be in charge of all the wealth of the Dong clan, and you, as the head of the clan, but if you have needs, he will be able to satisfy you immediately, this will be your own strength, even if some dignitaries in the court want to move you, I am afraid and do not dare to act lightly. By the way, your immediate boss, Lord Xie Anshi, has always had a close personal relationship with me, and if he knew that you represented the Dong family, he would probably give you more help. You are eating double salary, one belongs to you, and the other is from the imperial court, no matter how you look at it, there are advantages and disadvantages, what do you think?"

Dong Shao had already walked under the stone plaque in the courtyard, quietly waiting for Teng Xiang's answer, and the moonlight shining brightly on the stone plaque was the four big characters of Qianmen Daozun in ancient Chu seal font.

"In the end, Dong Gong still wants the younger generation to be your person, isn't it against Dong Gong's original intention?" Teng Xiang smiled bitterly.

"As an official in the court, how can you really be alone? There is no faction, then all the people will ruthlessly suppress you, eliminate you, just like sweeping away the most insignificant dust, you are a smart person, you should know very well the inner mysteries, the reason why you feel that you are safe and sound now, is that you have not attracted their attention, or, many people still think that you are Huan Da Sima's person. ”

"The Tomb Captain was created by Huan Da Sima, and since he was promoted by Huan Da Sima, why can't the younger generation stand on the side of Da Sima?"
