Chapter 353: Finding Intelligence
On the passenger ship "Rainbow" leading to Tianluomen Pulan Port, Jiang Yunqi waited for a long time, and after the bronze gate, there was no sound feedback back, and at this time, many of the travelers who were originally chatting in the cabin had already cast quite curious glances at him.
Few of these travelers were wealthy, and more were mundane and ordinary cultivators, otherwise, they would not have taken such a passenger ship that was twice as slow. For the private room, they didn't need it at all, after all, they were shy, and Jiang Yunqi's behavior, coupled with his not gorgeous robes, made them feel that this person seemed a little strange.
Jiang Yunqi also felt the scrutinizing gaze around him, and just when he thought that the people in this private room were unwilling to take care of him, the closed bronze door opened, and the face of a middle-aged monk was revealed.
"Who are you, what's the matter?"
The middle-aged monk was dressed in a cyan regular robe, neat and general, and he couldn't see what the way was coming, but his face was ruddy, and his sideburns were neat and standardized, like a distinguished guest from a big family, he only opened the bronze door with a narrow gap, and his not wide body covered up all the things behind him, so that Jiang Yunqi's original plan to see the layout in the room was frustrated.
"Oh, in Xia Jiangzhi's question, spirit-level casual cultivation, I want to ask, do you have the will to recruit family members or doormen?" Feeling the faint foundation-building aura on the other party's body, Jiang Yunqi deliberately showed a trace of shyness mixed with fear, pretending to be a casual cultivator looking for an opportunity, but he didn't forget to report a fake name.
"Not yet. The man replied lukewarmly, "Besides, do you have any special skills?"
"I'm good at water. Jiang Yunqi thought for a while and replied casually, when he was in Donghu County, he often lurked underwater to cultivate, and later, even without the assistance of spirit runes and magic weapons, he could lurk underwater for a long time.
The middle-aged man actually smiled, for monks, ordinary diving, only need a water avoidance charm to solve the problem, good water quality This skill only has some role in the mundane, suitable for salvage or pearl diving.
"I'm sorry, but if you only have this ability, I'm afraid I can't. ”
"It's okay to have a lower salary. ”
Jiang Yunqi deliberately leaned on the bronze door, and with the weight of his body, there was a narrow gap between the man and the bronze door for a short time, and through this light, he glimpsed that this private room was full of all kinds of incomprehensible magic weapons, and at least three monks were surrounding the magic weapons, carefully inspecting something.
"I'm sorry. The man didn't notice Jiang Yunqi's small movements, smiled, pulled the bronze door shut, and Jiang Yunqi was isolated again.
These people are doing something weird.
Jiang Yunqi turned around and returned to his position, smiled and nodded to others, and leaned on the partition of the seat pretending to be fine, and the appearance of those magic weapons appeared in front of him. Those strangely shaped things were obviously not used in battle, but they had something in common with the magic weapons used to inspect the items carried by the monks in the harbor.
What are they looking for in the middle of the sea? a sunken treasure, a fallen monk, or a legendary fish demon?
Jiang Yunqi didn't try to knock on the closed bronze door again, which would inevitably attract the other party's extra attention, he focused on the servants coming and going in the cabin, and he found that even if the servants knocked on the bronze door occasionally, the respectful attitude was not like treating ordinary generous passengers, but more like treating the master.
In this way, the purpose of this ship is not to carry passengers, but to have other uses, and these passing merchants in front of him are only a means for them to conceal their true purpose, thinking of this, he secretly took out a knife, and took advantage of the opportunity to release the wind on the side of the ship, leaving a special mark.
I don't know what it will be for, but if I leave a little clue, maybe it will be of some use later. The flag hoisted by this ship belongs to the Qingyu Sect, so it is a certain secret related to the Qingyu Sect, and the Qingyu Sect and the Qianshan Sect are facing each other across the Black Water Gate, perhaps this inadvertently discovered information can have some effect on the master and the sect.
............
How could Yunqi be in the same boat?
Jiang Feng put away the ornaments used for "borrowing objects and turning shadows", as well as the only remaining item that could be used to tell the whereabouts of his apprentice Jiang Yunqi, and couldn't help but have a lot of questions in his heart at the same time.
Last time for divination, Jiang Yunqi was still in a harbor somewhere, suspected of being an errand, and now, how did he change into loose clothes and go out to sea, and he also secretly left a mark on the ship, what abnormalities did he find? In a short period of time, what circumstances did he have that led to such a change?
Just thinking about it, Zheng Yiyu, the deacon of the Spiegel Division, asked to see him.
"Master, the location you asked me to investigate may be Loubin City of the Qing Yu Sect, or it may be Xianle City located in Tianyin Temple, these two harbor cities are possible, judging from the shape of the building, it is undoubtedly the style of the original Great Wei Kingdom, the color of the beach, the two cities are not much different, therefore, with temporary information, it is impossible to determine which city is the place you are really looking for. ”
"Yes
That's good. ”
Jiang Feng didn't expect Zheng Yiyu to have results so quickly, presumably he had accumulated a lot of businessmen's information on weekdays, at this time, he only needed to trace back to the past information and find a few relevant people to inquire.
"You can continue to narrow it down, the 'Rainbow', an ordinary passenger ship. It would be nice to be able to find out which ports its route takes through. ”
"Yes!" Zheng Yiyu didn't ask much, at this point, he was very disciplined, and he knew what he shouldn't ask, so he didn't have to ask.
To dismiss Zheng Yiyu, Jiang Feng called Jiang Hai, Wang Yi and Zhang Yang, and according to the established plan, they stayed for a short time in the Zongmen Treasury, the Mengjiao Division, the Suggestion Division, the Military Warfare Division, the Rites Division, etc., to understand the situation one by one, and felt that everything was going well, so he decided to rush to Lizong Zhenwu City as soon as possible.
The qualifications of Xihai Lingxu's experience, the final candidate for Xuan-level monks, is determined to be the law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao, from the status of the sect, this is an inevitable choice, and from the perspective of cultivation, Jiang Feng is actually more interested in passing on the Gong Elder Wei Ruoguang, from the perspective of qualifications, Wei Ruoguang is obviously stronger than Wang Xiandao, and there is more hope to break through the Xuan-level and reach the prefecture-level realm, and the reason why several people made such a decision after they left is the result of the compromise and conditional trading of all parties, as well as from the consideration of the stability of the sect.
The matter was reported to Jiang Feng by Foreign Affairs Elder Wu Quanzhong. Jiang Feng had already been mentally prepared for the compromise of all parties, and for the sake of the sect, Jiang Feng heard such a reason for the first time, and at the same time felt fresh, he was also greatly relieved in his heart, in other words, these people really had a heart.
The reason given by everyone is: although the head Jiang Feng has been promoted to the prefecture level, because he often needs to go out and deal with the relationship with the sects, he cannot be used as the combat power of the sect, and Wei Ruoguang, who was originally the first combat force in the sect, if he leaves, I am afraid that there will be a lack of guarantee for the safety of the sect, and in terms of foreign affairs and general affairs, Zheng Luda and Wu Quanzhong do not have suitable monk deputies to be able to take on heavy responsibilities, but in terms of law enforcement, because everything has been established, it is only necessary to act in accordance with the rules and regulations. Additional supervision by Khoo and Spiegel is sufficient.
The feeling is that I am too carefree and can't be counted on, and besides, what does it mean that this has the head of the family's wife Su and Qiu presiding over the situation...... Who allowed them to interfere in the affairs of the sect in vain? Jiang Feng complained in his heart, saying that he hadn't completely figured out how to deal with Qiu Zhenzhen.
However, since he had realized that the elders were weak, Jiang Feng directly issued an order:
appointed Wei Ruoqi, a Xuan-level monk, as the general deacon, to assist the general elder Zheng Luda in handling a number of general affairs, and focused on the immortal ascension conference, and at the same time temporarily took the position of the county guard of Donghu County until Zhou Xing's return;
appointed Wang Yanzhi, a Xuan-level monk, as a deacon of foreign affairs, and assisted Wu Quanzhong, the elder of foreign affairs, in handling a number of foreign affairs-related affairs;
Wei Chengyu, a Xuan-level monk, was officially appointed as the deacon of the inner gate, responsible for supervising the release, implementation and reward distribution of the sect's tasks;
It is suggested that the deacon of the division, the Xuan-level Ding Baozhen, temporarily serve as the deacon of law enforcement until the return of the law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao. In this way, the Xuan-level monks in the sect, except for Zhao Yunlei, the former Jincheng Sect monk who came with Su Jin, all had relatively suitable positions. Jiang Feng originally considered placing monks in the foreign courtyard, but he thought that the relationship with the various sects had not yet been reopened, and compared to external affairs and internal affairs, for the inexperienced people, it was better to start with internal affairs first.
As for Su Jin and Qiu Zhenzhen, Jiang Feng secretly thought that they had not made an inch of merit and could not give too much authority. Su Jin is greedy for power, and Qiu Zhen is really greedy for spirit stones, if they really let them master these links, once they act arbitrarily, the consequences will be unimaginable, and in the hearts of everyone, the two of them are their own wives, and they can't be accused at will, I am afraid that they will add to the chaos.
"You're leaving Luochuan. ”
"Why? I just reunited with Si Tian, what do you want? I was born and died for the sake of the sect, but as a result, I didn't have a single spirit stone reward. Qiu Zhenzhen clasped his hands to his chest and sat on the chair exclusive to the head of the house, looking aggrieved.
"You were caught by accident. ”
"I'm not a professional. Qiu Zhenzhen didn't think so, "If it weren't for the fact that I was your wife, it is estimated that Leng Tingtao would have killed me directly." ”
"At this time, doesn't the body play a role?"
"You stinky boss, you're making fun of me. But before she could continue to refute, she felt her body float out of the seat uncontrollably, and Hua Rong suddenly lost color, and quickly begged for mercy, "Master, I was wrong, I was wrong." ”
"You should be clear about who you are. ”
Jiang Feng's heart was arbitrary, and Qiu Zhenzhen flew straight out, but he didn't use all his strength, he just put it down lightly, "Although only you and I know the truth of the matter, there are still necessary boundaries, and Su Jin understands this better than you." Jiang Feng unhurriedly sat down in a position that only belonged to him, took out a third-order one, and wrapped his spiritual power around it, making it float in front of him, "I know you like spirit stones, and I like them too, but you must first show your value." ”
"I ...... Give you a life
Child?" The body was no longer restrained, Qiu Zhenzhen's face regained its rosiness, she put her hands behind her back, and deliberately pretended to be a lady's shy.
"You're a Xuan-level monk. ”
"I know, didn't I say before that I wanted the position of the county guard of Beimu County to help you govern the sect, but you were reluctant. ”
"I don't worry about your attitude towards the spirit stone. ”
"Isn't that for Sitian?"
"Don't make excuses, there is no need to worry about Sitian's affairs, if his heart is still pure, I will find a way to help him awaken, as for the entry of the Great Dao, it can only depend on his creation. ”
"Can you help Sitian?"
"Not a joke. When he said this, Jiang Feng suddenly remembered that he had promised Su Jin to help Qiu Sitian awaken, which was nothing more than a few "phase splitting" things, and there was no way to help Su Jin, who was hopeless.
"What do you want me to do?" Qiu Zhenzhen's eyes suddenly brightened, and he seemed to have no worries, but Jiang Feng knew that she was not such an easily satisfied person.
"Blackwatergate, do you still have an old ministry that you can contact?"
"The Black Water Gate has fallen, except for Zhou Daxiang and Li Xianzhu, there are no monks who are willing to follow me, but they have been released back by Leng Tingtao, and they have not been arranged yet, you can see ...... the master."
"Think about yourself first. ”
Jiang Feng said angrily, although he also thought that Qiu Zhenzhen's identity was exposed, and there was a reason why he was not good at spying, or Leng Tingtao's intelligence network was too meticulous, but the ability to be proficient in spying itself was honed hard, and no one was born with understanding, in this regard, Qiu Zhenzhen was obviously slack and overconfident, as for the two servants of spiritual cultivation, he just glanced at them hurriedly, and he could already see that they were just ordinary in qualifications, average in ability, and only "obedient and honest" were left This kind of commendable quality of the guy, placed in a key position, in addition to the corpse vegetarian meal, empty consumption of salary, it is difficult to make any achievements.
Jiang Feng has already sent them to Dayi County, and instructed the county guard Shen Junmao to treat the two of them coldly for a period of time, to see if they are still loyal, and then make a decision, as for the work, most of them are the kind of posts that can be done according to the rules, except that they can spread out as soon as possible and give birth to some descendants of monks.
This is also the way of many monks in the sect, and even in this world, most of the monks are in the world, not every cultivator can maintain the same perseverance and sharpness as always, dare to continue to sprint for their lives, and then reach a higher realm, most of them are still gradually reduced to mud and sand, and become a long-lived man who is content in this world.
"You travel far and forth, and come back in three months, to gather information on these two monks for me, but don't alarm them. Jiang Feng informed Qiu Zhenzhen of the names and cultivation of the two "senior brothers", Lu Zhongxian, the elder of the inner gate of the Huadi Gate, and the national teacher Qing Daozi of the Yefan Kingdom, "The cultivation of the two may be more than this realm, you must be careful." ”
"You...... Messed with them?"
"Not really. Remember, only you know about this. ”
"Where's the fare?" Qiu Zhenzhen looked at the third-order spirit stone that was still suspended in the air.
Jiang Feng didn't mind the other party's greedy eyes this time, the spirit stone, following his wishes, fell into Qiu Zhenzhen's palm, she easily put the spirit stone into the storage bag, leaned in again, and there was a little more teasing in her eyes, "So many spirit stones, boss, you are so generous this time, do you want me to do something extra?"
"Make a soul vow never to betray me. ”
"Such a heavy oath, just a third-order?" Qiu Zhenzhen took another step closer, and Rulan's breath spat on Jiang Feng's face, "If you use the Great Dao to make an oath, I have no opinion, then again, I am also the wife of the head, and no one cares about me, saying that I will help the Great Dao, it is really a new person who is better than an old man." ”
Jiang Feng leaned back, dodging Qiu Zhenzhen's further approach, and said in his heart, Is this the two "ladies" comparing themselves with each other in private? Otherwise, how could the matter of his private promise to Su Jin reach Qiu Zhenzhen's ears? It seems that he is right, whether it is true or not, it is better for the two to separate as soon as possible.
"I'll leave tomorrow. ”
After Qiu Zhenzhen twisted again and again, and made a soul oath that he would never betray, otherwise he would fall into the flames, Jiang Feng ordered him to set off as soon as possible, before the gathering in the Hundred Medicine Villa, he wanted to get some other information about the two "senior brothers", and the sect where the two of them were located was far away from the Qianshan Sect, and there was little news coming, at this time, there must be a trustworthy monk to investigate, and this kind of private matter, other monks in the sect, is not suitable.
Thinking of being trustworthy, Jiang Feng immediately remembered that Zheng Keyi, who was still working in Zhanchuan Town, returned to Luochuan by himself, and he had not been able to go to Zhanchuan Town to see the other party, but he was a little indebted. Thinking of this, he cleaned up the pieces, sent someone to recall his apprentices Jiang Chengzi and Jiang Zhiwen, who were hanging out in the various divisions of Luochuan, and went all the way south.
