Chapter 40: Gaining Fame and Righteousness
In the blink of an eye, it's been January again, and it's late April. There is still no sign of rain in the sky above Ruiguang City, and recently, you can see that there are often assistants with buckets on their backs in the school palace watering the flowers and trees.
These days, Zhang Yu has been actively making all kinds of preparations, he ordered Li Qinghe to go to various medicinal material markets to collect all kinds of antiquities and strange bone fragments, but among the things found so far, he has not yet encountered the source energy.
He also knows very well that this kind of thing cannot be rushed, and what is needed is to be patient, and it is not sure when it will be rewarded.
However, this month, two batches of strange bone fragments were sent from the miscellaneous library one after another, and the Shen Yuan absorbed there, plus all the original, was almost enough for him to read more than two seals.
Now he is waiting for this batch of bone fragments at the end of the month, and when this batch arrives, he will be able to gather enough to observe and read the three seals of the divine yuan.
Only if you count the seal of the heart light and the sword mark that has never been filled, the gap is still not small. But on the bright side, this is better than having a Shenyuan but reading it without a seal.
On this day, when he finished teaching in the school and was about to correct the homework left by the students, his heart suddenly moved, and when he looked up, he saw a man dressed in the clothes of an official of the Metropolitan Protectorate walked in, and he arched his hand to him: "Excuse me, but is Zhang Fujiao?"
Zhang Yu stood up, and saluted, and said, "It's me, I don't know if it's ......."
The man looked around and said, "Zhang Fujiao, can you say a few words?"
Zhang Yu made a gesture sideways and said, "Please here." ”
The two of them came to the room at the back of the school, and after they all sat down, the man introduced himself: "Zhang Fujiao, my name is Qi Song, and I am engaged in the Metropolitan Protector's Mansion Dianbin Division, this time I am here at the request of the chief official, I want to ask you, who among these students in your academy can communicate with the natives of the Strongclaw tribe now?"
Zhang Yudao: "These students are very smart, but after all, the study time is short, and they have not really come into contact with the people of the Strongclaw Tribe. The people of the Strongclaw tribe are extremely aggressive, and if they say the wrong thing and feel insulted, they will resort to force, and if they rush to send these students there now, it may lead to consequences that no one wants to see. ”
Qi Song said: "Judging from the information I have gotten, Auxiliary Sect Zhang is more familiar with the Jianclaw Tribe, if you are asked to communicate with this tribe, how sure are you?"
Zhang Yu said calmly: "It depends on what the Metropolitan Protector wants me to do." ”
Qi Song thought for a while, nodded and said, "I know." He got up from his seat and bowed his hand, "Thank you Auxiliary Teacher Zhang for telling me the truth." ”
Zhang Yu got up and returned the salute, and then watched him leave.
He thought to himself, it seemed that the Protectorate was already preparing to make formal contact with the Claw Tribe.
He's been paying attention to the newspapers lately, and last month was fine, but since this month, the news about the Strongclaw tribe has started to increase, and the number of strong-claw tribe natives who have entered the open plains has reached a considerable number.
He speculated that this may have something to do with the recent change in rain. There has been no rain in the entire territory of the Metropolitan Protectorate for two months, and there may be no problem in the upper and middle reaches, but the water potential in the lower reaches will inevitably be affected, which will inevitably cause these people of the Strongclaw Tribe to move upstream, so that the Metropolitan Protectorate can no longer ignore it.
When he returned to the school, he found a slender girl standing there holding a cloth document bag, and said, "An Chu'er, why are you back again, is there something wrong?"
An Chu'er bowed to him and said a little nervously: "Sir, just now someone from the clan came to me and asked me if if Mr. was not there, if I could communicate with the people of the Solid Claw tribe alone, I think I should inform Mr. about this matter." ”
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I know, An Chu'er, thank you for coming to tell the teacher about this, you study hard, don't worry too much about other things." ”
An Chu'er snorted heavily and said, "Sir, then I'll go first." ”
"Wait," Zhang Yujiang took out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it to her, "Take this, I may have to go out of the school palace recently, if you don't have time to come to the school, you can learn from this first." ”
An Chu'er took it with both hands and said seriously: "Sir, I will learn by heart." ”
At the same time, in the inner hall of the Metropolitan Protectorate Office, Chi Chao, the superintendent of the Taiyang School Palace, was standing under the hall, and was being severely questioned by the newly appointed director Liu Fengquan.
Liu Fengquan said in a serious tone: "Superintendent Chi, the Taiyang Academy Palace has known about this for a long time, right? Why don't you report to the Imperial Protector Mansion in time?"
Superintendent Chi replied unhurriedly: "During the February meeting, the school palace has not had time to confirm this matter, in March, the Yao Mansion will go to work, and the Liu Mansion has not yet performed your duties, and there is no one in the capital hall to preside, so I mentioned it rashly, for fear of causing too much chaos, but the school palace has already told the capital to protect it before, and it is not that I haven't reported it." ”
Liu Fengquan stared at him for a while and said, "Duke Yao's Mansion also knows about this, right?"
Superintendent Chi stood there and did not answer.
Liu Fengquan didn't ask any more, sat on the chair, waved his hand to drive away, and said, "Superintendent Chi, go back, I hope that the person who arranged your arrangement this time will not make a mistake." ”
Superintendent Chi arched his hand, turned around and went out.
Liu Fengquan stood up and looked at the huge Ruiguang City below with his hands in his hands, his expression grim and deep.
At this time, a practitioner walked in from outside, bowed down and said, "Gongfu, Duke Zhan has arrived." ”
Liu Fengquan didn't look back and said, "Let him in." ”
After a while, an old man on crutches walked in slowly, his face was wrinkled, his hair was sparse, but his spirit was strong, and his eyes were also very bright, he half-lifted his crutches, waved it ahead, and said, "Gongfu." ”
Liu Fengquan turned around and said, "Gong Zhan sits down and talks." ”
Gong Zhan arched his hand slightly and said, "In front of the Mansion, how can there be an old seat." ”
Liu Fengquan didn't persuade again, returned to his chair, flipped through the official letter that he had not read, and after a while, he looked up and said, "You said something, can it be done?"
Zhan Gong was on crutches, but his body was straight, and he said leisurely: "Although the old decay is not the sacrificial wine of the Taiyang Academy now, there are still many people who are willing to sell the thin noodles of the old decay." ”
Liu Fengquan looked at him and said, "I don't ask you how to do it, I only ask you, can you do it well?"
There seemed to be a glint in Zhan Gong's cloudy eyes, and he said: "The old man has lived for more than a hundred years, and he has never said a big word, can he do it well, hehe, the mansion just wait and see." ”
Liu Fengquan glanced at him a few times, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait." ”
After Zhang Yu left the academy, he returned to his residence, he had planned to go back to the miscellaneous warehouse after noon to pick up the strange bone fragments that might be delivered today.
But before he could make the trip, a teacher came to his door and said that Superintendent Chi had invited him.
The highest position of the school palace is the sacrificial wine, but this is only a nominal position, it is a title given to a person of honor, and the person in charge of specific affairs is the superintendent, so the person who holds this position is the head of the school palace in the substantive sense.
Since this person is invited, other things can naturally only be put aside.
He followed this teacher all the way to the Kuiwen Hall, the main hall of the Taiyang School Palace.
As soon as I stepped into this room, I saw that above the lobby, Superintendent Chi Chao was sitting in the middle position, on both sides were the four highest-status school orders, and below were more than 30 subordinate hall directors and practitioners, Liu Guang, Zhu Anshi, and Xin Yao were also sitting here at the moment, but they could only accompany the last seat.
Superintendent Chi hadn't seen Zhang Yu before, but had heard his name repeatedly, and when he saw him at this moment, the words "Qingyi Shenbiao, Xiu Pull Jade Stand" couldn't help but appear in his mind.
Not only him, but the rest of the people present who saw Zhang Yu for the first time were also secretly amazed.
Zhang Yu came to the hall and waved his hands, "The superintendent is polite, and the teachers are polite." ”
Superintendent Chi nodded in return and said, "Auxiliary Teacher Zhang, please take a seat." ”
Zhang Yu shook it again, and sat down in front of the seats in front of everyone, without being half restrained and unnatural.
Chi Xuejian looked at the expression on his face, and saw that he was still calm and calm under this battle, and his expression was calm, and he nodded secretly.
He said: "Zhang Fujiao, I think you know the intention of inviting you here today. ”
Zhang Yu replied: "In the morning, a Lin Zhi from the Dianbin Division came to look for me, asking about communication with the Jianclaw Tribe, and the Xuegong is looking for me now, presumably for this matter." ”
Chi Xuejian said with a straight face: "Since you already know, I won't say anything superfluous, the strategy of the Duhufu has always been to suppress the north and the south, there are now more than five thousand strong claw tribes on the open plain, and it can be confirmed that there are alien gods, the natives south of the open plain are scattered about tens of thousands, if these people are gathered, it will cause great consequences, at present, it seems that only Zhang Fujiao can communicate with them, so the responsibility you have to shoulder is really not small." ”
A student who was sitting next to Superintendent Chi's left said loudly: "Since you want to do this, your status as an assistant teacher is inevitably a little low, we discussed it and are ready to mention you as a ......."
"Wait!"
At this moment, an old but loud voice came from outside, interrupting him, and then he saw an old man on crutches enter the lobby, and a handsome young man beside him supported him.
Someone exclaimed, "Zhan Gong?"
Most of the people present stood up and waved at him, and as the old man walked all the way forward, the voice of "Zhan Gong" was also endless.
Zhan Gong walked directly to the front, and only stopped a few steps away from Superintendent Chi's position, he turned around, looked around, and pestled the ground with a cane, and said: "The old man thinks that in this matter, it is more appropriate for the little Zhan Zhitong to come forward!"
