Ten days have passed in a flash, and it is already late February, and this year's meeting of the Metropolitan Protectorate is coming to an end, and the matters that need to be discussed have been decided, and the originally serious atmosphere in the administration has begun to become a little more relaxed.

After Zhang Yu returned to his lodging from the Great Hall, he began to breathe and breathe out every day, and as his breath flowed, the pair of vermilion gloves on his hands also shone slightly.

Because he couldn't wear a sword in the office, Xia Jian kept it at home, but he still had this pair of gloves, so he sacrificed this thing by the way these days.

After a long time, someone outside knocked lightly on the door and asked, "Is Zhang Jun here?"

Zhang Yu opened his eyes, he walked out of the inner room, opened the door, and saw a young scribe standing there, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

The young scribe waved at him and said, "Zhang Jun, someone tried to rob Yan Xulun yesterday, but the person who came failed to succeed. ”

As he spoke, he picked up a document and handed it forward.

Zhang Yu took it, thanked him, and the young scribe hurriedly said that it was okay, and then gave another salute, and then went immediately. He closed the door, sat down in the room, opened the newspaper and looked at it.

The story was not complicated, and at about half of the night yesterday, nine people tried to break in and rescue Yan Xulun. But the place where this person was held was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and a trap had already been laid in order to attract others to come and rescue him, so none of the people who rushed into this escaped, but unfortunately, no one survived in the end, so no too useful clues could be found.

It's just that there is one more striking thing in it, and these captives all end up being something indescribable.

He pulled out a picture from the back of the newspaper, and it was clearly presented.

It was a humanoid object, and at first glance, it looked like a shriveled skin, but it had bark-like joints on the surface, which made people very uncomfortable to look at.

Those present were not able to tell what it was, but it was tentatively classified as an exercise of some kind of spiritual power.

After looking at it, he thought for a moment.

If that's right, this thing should be a tree corpse.

This is not uncommon hundreds of years ago, many indigenous tribes would dispose of their own people's corpses and bury them in a kind of tree cavity called the Titicaca tree, and the tribal sacrifice through a certain ritual to let it absorb the spirit of the tree, and then let it "resurrect" and become the loyal guardian of the tribe.

This thing has high and low battles, but it has a characteristic, that is, the tree corpse can share everything it sees or sees with others through eye contact, so in the future, this thing is simply used to transmit messages.

So it was obvious that the arrival of these tree corpses last night was not to snatch Yan Xulun out, but to pass on some news to him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu took a pen and paper, wrote down his views and some suggestions on it, but folded it and put it in an envelope, called the servants waiting outside the door, and asked him to send them to the hands of the person who tried Yan Xulun, while he himself put aside these external disturbances and continued to sit and practice in the bedroom.

Another few days passed, and on the twenty-fifth day, the day of the meeting finally came to an end.

After announcing the end of the council at the Daidu Mansion, Liu Fengquan and the officials of the various government offices left with a tired look, and they had been too stimulated and consumed too much energy in the past twenty days.

And a group of Tianxia people went to Anlu for a banquet under the arrangement of the Anlu Patrol.

After the feast was dispersed, everyone cherished each other and dispersed.

Zhang Yuben also wanted to go back, but the rest of them asked him to stay. He guessed that the two had something to say to him, so he followed them to an open terrace on the top floor.

Here you can directly see Tenghai, and the field of vision is very wide.

After the three of them were seated, Yu Gongyan said: "Zhang Jun, after today, Guo Lao'er and I will return to the outer islands, but when we are leaving, I am very worried about one thing, so I can only ask you to pay more attention." ”

Zhang Yudao: "Yu Gong, please speak." ”

Yu Gong stroked his beard and said: "Today's Liu Fengquan, who is the acting officer, can't be said to be mediocre, but he has no responsibility, if the capital is in a peaceful year, each department has its own duties, and the soldiers are dedicated to protecting the people, then he can maintain the situation smoothly, but now this situation is ......."

As he spoke, he shook his head.

Guo Gong interjected at this time: "Yu Lao'er just likes to hide when he speaks, and he is not cool at all, Zhang Jun, I believe you can also see it, and now the chaos in the capital is gradually emerging, and the root cause of this is in the Divine Captain Army!"

Zhang Yu also agrees with this view, if there is no Divine Captain Army, the subversive faction will not be able to turn the storm at all, and it can be suppressed casually, and it is precisely because of the Divine Captain Army that the ambition of the subversive faction is fueled.

Guo Gong said with a serious expression: "The performance of the Divine Captain Army this time is very abnormal, with our very good understanding of the Divine Captain Army, they are just a group of jackals, and now under the successive suppression, they actually have no resistance, when did the jackals become so docile? The only explanation is that they are forbearing! The current forbearance is to eat more meat in the future!"

Yu Gong looked at Zhang Yu and said sincerely: "We old guys can't do anything except for a little fame and this old bone, and Zhang Jun, you are not only a Xia Shi, but also a Xuan Xiu who can defeat the Divine Captain Army, so we can only ask you to keep an eye on the Divine Captain Army more, if there is any need, Zhang Jun can send us a book from the Inspector General, and we will fully support you." ”

Zhang Yu raised his sleeves, put his hands together, and replied: "Two elders, Yu can't say what he can do, but he will do his best." ”

Yu and Guo also solemnly returned to have a gift.

After Zhang Yu talked with the two of them for a while, he got up and left.

After he left, Duke Yu asked, "Guo Lao'er, what do you think of this Zhang Shijun?"

"This young man should have a powerful elder. ”

Yu Gong glanced at him and said, "Besides, old man, do you still need to talk about this? If Zhang Shijun didn't have a powerful elder to teach knowledge and etiquette, how could he be as good as he is now?"

Guo Gong shook his head and said, "I have to say this, Yu Lao'er, don't you think it's strange?"

Yu Gongdao: "What's strange?"

Guo Gong said in a deep voice: "We are all nearly one hundred and twenty years old, in the past, those young people, who were deeply influenced by Tianxia Lile, after meeting us, would more or less ask us how the Tianxia native was like, with few exceptions, but this young man did not mention it at all. ”

He inhaled slightly, "So I guess there may be an elder like us who also came from Tianxia Mainland, so there is no need to come and ask us about these things." ”

Yu Gong sighed, stroked his beard and nodded: "Besides, Lao'er, you said that, it's really true, could it be an old friend......

Guo Gong suddenly said, "Maybe it's not a mortal. ”

"Huh?"

Guo Gong didn't say anything more, stood up and said, "Let's go." ”

Yu Gong was stunned and said, "Where to go?"

Guo Gong looked at it with disdain, and said: "If you don't leave now, do you still want to send you tomorrow with a sea of people, you have lived for more than a hundred years, do you still want this?"

Yu Gong pointed at him angrily, "Old man, okay, you won't let me sleep if you have a good night." ”

Guo Gong heaved and said leisurely: "Don't sleep, in a few years, there will be time for you to sleep." ”

Yu Gong said angrily: "Don't curse me, you want to sleep alone, I still want to live to see the day when the beacon fire is lit." ”

Guo Gong was silent suddenly, and after a while, he said, "Can you see it?"

Yu Gong paused, stroked a handful of white beards under his chin, looked at the churning waves in the distance, and vaguely seemed to see the flags of thousands of armies fluttering in Tianxia a hundred years ago, facing the day of the eastrise, the moment he crossed the sea, he said slowly: "Yes, I must be able to!"

Zhang Yu left Anluju and went to live in the school palace and returned.

Although he decided to go to the open sea after the council, there were still some things to attend to before that.

During February, there are many new students in the school palace, because last year the Xuanfu cheered up a lot, and one after another exterminated the alien gods, so there are more students who apply to enter the house, and there are some students who have studied other studies in previous years also hope to join.

Since he was participating in the priest's meeting before, the matter of discipline and teaching could only be handled by Xin Yao, but now it seems that he has to ask the latter to work for a while.

All the way back to the residence, just as he stepped into the courtyard, a meow came from the childish cry, Miao Danjun came out of the residence, circled around him, followed him wherever he went, and when he sat down on the seat, he jumped on his lap.

He stretched out his hand and stroked Miao Danjun's weak golden fur a few times, then raised his head and asked Li Qinghe, who was standing on the side, "Qinghe, is there anything wrong when I am away?"

Li Qinghe said: "Sir, there was a letter sent by Master Xin yesterday, and Qinghe placed it in Mr. Xin's study. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled, "In the month that Mr. was away, Yan Shaolang came a few times, and each time he brought some pills to Miao Danjun, saying that he had mixed different flavors, but Miao Danjun had never eaten it once, so I had to pour it all." ”

Zhang Yu nodded, and asked Li Qinghe to bring the letter, open it and look at it.

The letter listed some of the students she found who did not choose to join the Xuanfu but had the talent to cultivate the Xuanfu.

After looking through it, he found that there were actually more than a dozen such people, if they could all join the Xuanfu, it wouldn't be long before there would be a group of elite disciples in the lower levels of the Xuanfu.

However, all this depends on their own choices, and for the matter of cultivation, their own will is very important, and if these students can really make great achievements in their own specialization, then there is no need to cultivate the mysteries.

He thought for a moment, took a pen and paper from the table, wrote a letter in a moment, handed it to Li Qinghe and said: "You give this letter to Xin Yao, I have to go to the sea first because of one thing, it will take seven or eight days to turn around, and it will take half a month to turn around, and I will bother her to work hard for a little longer." ”
