Chapter 160: Undercurrents are surging
"Yo, who am I? What's so great about being loud? My voice is louder than you!" There were several loud shouts from outside the hall, and the strong internal strength shook the air slightly.
As soon as the words fell, two people turned into the hall gate at the same time.
One is the head of the Rite Garden, the monk, and the other is Cao Cha, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Entering the hall, walking twenty steps, there is a copper kettle on the side of the big pillar dripping water. The monk glanced at it and felt that the mere rebuttal was not enough. So he said even louder: "There is not half a light left, and it will be the appointed time." We're not late?"
With that, the monk straightened his right hand and slid it from his shoulder to the palm of his hand. Chi Lian's body rolled into a ball, and he flicked his body suddenly, as if he had pressed a spring in his body.
With a sudden, he flew to the stone table.
Chi Lian landed next to Xie Lingyun, it was half-upright, facing Shen Qiushui, its mouth was wide open, and it spat out a scarlet letter in its mouth, making a sneering sound.
"Quiet, shut up!"
Xie Lingyun drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, he glared at the beast and roared indifferently.
Chi Lian had no temper, how dare he show off his claws again, and his body immediately softened. He shrunk into a ball, buried his head in the innermost, lay on the table motionless, and waited quietly for the monks to come and relieve it.
"Little baby, don't be afraid, with me, no one dares to hurt you. The monk walked to the table and sat down next to Xie Lingyun, who whispered comfort as he reached out and stroked Chi Lian.
Seeing this, Xu Jinjiang immediately took a small pocket sequoia barrel from a maid's hand. The barrel contained a large flock of grey nest rats, the size of copper plates.
These nest rats, with their size and size, are almost the same, and they are all carefully selected products by Xu Jinjiang.
Xu Jinjiang gently put the small wooden barrel in front of the monk, the monk nodded, he picked up the red practice, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the snake slowly slid into the small wooden barrel.
Suddenly, in the entire main hall, the squeaky screams of nest rats sounded.
After serving the monks, Xu Jinjiang didn't have time to rest, and immediately went to take care of Cao Cha again. Xu Jinjiang turned around and took a golden silk nanmu tray from a maid, and in the tray was a playful object - a silver gilt pig.
Cao Cha was short in stature, no more than forty years old, but he looked like a little old man when he walked.
His body was slightly fat, his belly protruded slightly, and he wore a small gold pocket abacus around his neck.
Cao tea is a pig, Hai pig has always been a symbol of wealth, and the folk are known as the golden pig to repay the blessing.
Cao Cha took the little pig and played seriously, but after a moment of his displeasure, he stretched out seven or eight points.
Gu Youzhi glanced at the water dripping from the copper kettle, the appointed time had arrived, and Lin Duo from the Nighthawk Department had not yet appeared.
Gu Youyi supported his chin with his hands, and asked in a warm voice: "Pingzhi, black chicken cordyceps soup, are you ready?"
Lin Duo's body is weak and he needs this black chicken cordyceps soup as a tonic every day. Gu Youzhi ostensibly asked if the cordyceps soup was ready, but in fact he asked if Xu Jinjiang had accurately conveyed the news of the meeting to Lin Duo.
"I informed Lord Lindo in advance of the time and place of the meeting yesterday. Maybe he's unwell, so I'll go and see it. Xu Jinjiang was also surprised, when he saw Lin Duo yesterday, he was fine, why didn't he come to the meeting for no reason.
"We weren't late, we all got into a fuss, and some of us were good. If you don't come directly, what's the big deal about them being the Nighthawk Department?" Cao Cha put the little pig on the table and kept rubbing his hands.
The Nighthawk Department can be said to be the most mysterious department in Wanbaomen. Most people have heard their names, but very few people have actually seen them.
The people of the Nighthawk Division are night walkers, and they always carry out some extremely secret tasks in secret.
"Who said I didn't come, but I came before you?"
A slightly weak voice floated through the main hall. Left or right, forward or backward, up and down, all the masters in the hall couldn't even determine where Lin Duo was now.
"Hmph, what's so great about hiding and hiding, that is, you Nighthawk people who can't see it, like to play this kind of trick. If you have the ability, don't come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has the smallest number of departments and the largest number of people, but it is the most powerful of the five departments.
Why is this happening?
Because the Ministry of the Interior is mainly in charge of the entry and exit of money and silver, all declarations must be stamped and signed by Cao Cha before they can be passed.
"Alright, stop making trouble, the joke will stop. Gu Youzhi's words were not only for Cao Cha, but also for Lin Duo.
Lin Duo coughed twice, and after a while, he appeared at the end of the stone square table and sat down lightly opposite Gu Youzhi.
Lin Duo was holding a hat in his hand, which was inlaid with a layer of white gauze rings, the length of which was as long as one meter and seventy-five, no more, no less, just enough to cover Lin Duo's entire body.
I think the important reason why he can be invisible is mostly because of this hat.
In the ancient book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", it was said that on the top of the snow-capped mountains, there lived a monster called the snow ape.
They have white fur all over their bodies, and they use the characteristics of their hair to hide their whereabouts.
From time to time, people will find superhuman handprints and footprints in the snowy mountains. This is also the reason why no one has seen a snow ape with their own eyes so far.
The white veil on the outside of this hat should be woven from the hair on the white ape's body.
Xu Jinjiang was so engrossed that he forgot what he should do for a while.
"Pingzhi, don't hurry up and send the black chicken cordyceps soup to Minister Lin. ”
Xu Jinjiang listened to Gu Youzhi's words, and then he woke up like a dream, and carefully served the small bowl of black chicken cordyceps soup.
No matter how Xu Jinjiang saw it, he felt incredible.
Lin Duo is tall but yellow-skinned, weak in kung fu and riddled with diseases, the only thing he can see is his rich and gorgeous clothes.
Such a person, no matter who he is, will definitely not believe it when he sees it for the first time, he is the leader of the Wanbaomen Nighthawk Division.
Gu Youzhi saw that the time was almost up, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, there is nothing for you here, you go down, no one is allowed to step into half a step without my order." ”
Xu Jinjiang bent down to receive the order, took a group of maids, and left the Qingyun Hall quickly.
Xu Jinjiang led the maids out of Qingyun Palace, and it was not until their footsteps all disappeared that Gu Youzhi withdrew his gaze.
He looked serious and said very seriously, "Okay, let's start the meeting now." This meeting was extraordinary, and we had several difficult issues that needed to be discussed. ”
