Zhao Ran is looking through the results of this year's autumn harvest in the abbot's study, because with the addition of the three departments, it can be said that the results are quite fruitful. A total of 29,000 stone of barley and 36,000 stone of millet were harvested, 3,800 dairy cows, more than 188,900 sheep were stocked, and more than 800 horses were accumulated.

He planned to form a horse team of 200 people, headed by Bao Zhong, so as to reduce the pressure of training and mobilization for self-defense in various villages.

After reading the reported documents, he opened a new official document, and immediately frowned, and the Western Sichuan Governor's Mansion transferred the official document, and received the order of the Sichuan Political Envoy, and the capital of the White Horse Courtyard was transferred from the Song Domain, and another appointment was made.

Lei Shan's dispatch order was issued by the Sichuan Political Envoy, and he went to Xuzhou to serve as the judge of Zhengqipin. Lei Shan, as the capital chef of the White Horse Academy, was transferred to Xuzhou General Judge, and the seven grades were moved to seven grades, which is equivalent to a flat adjustment, but after going to Xuzhou, this is a state-level platform, even if Hongyuan is a half-state county in terms of specifications, after all, it is still a county.

What's more, Xuzhou is in the middle of Sichuan, which is much richer than border places such as Song Domain, and Zhao Ran estimates that Lei Shan may be willing to go.

On the whole, Lei Shan's transfer is of course a good thing, and Zhao Ran's prestige will be enhanced. After all, everyone has worked hard under Zhao Ran for three years, although the word "dedication" is loud in words, but Zhao Ran, as the helmsman of the White Horse Academy, really wants to use the word "dedication" to fool people, then he is too unqualified.

It was Luo Dian before, and now it is Lei Du Kitchen, one has been promoted, and the other is reused, this is a good way out, this is a reward for his subordinates, which shows that doing things for Zhao Ran is promising, and the future is bright, without this return, who will give you a sincere job?

But the problem is that these two returns were not planned by Zhao Ran, and they were not his original intention, which made Zhao Ran quite passive. Zhao Ran's original plan was to arrange Luo Dianzao and Lei Duchu to be promoted within the Song Domain system, which were all important talent reserves for him to completely control the Song Domain in the future, but now he was transferred out of the Song Domain, which really made him feel very awkward.

But he couldn't stop it, with his relationship with the Du Tenghui of the Tianhe Palace and the Xia Ji of the Governor's Mansion of Western Sichuan, he thought that it might not be difficult to stop the transfer, but to prevent people from leaving the Song Domain, they had to come up with the corresponding position, otherwise it would be tantamount to making a feud with their subordinates, and the wise man would not take it.

Can Zhao Ran find a position for Lei Shan in the Song Domain now? For example, the eight deacons of the Tianhe Palace? For example, the secretary of the Governor's Mansion in Western Sichuan, the chief bookkeeper, and the general judge? Obviously not. Since he couldn't, he couldn't open his mouth to keep it.

Looking at this order, Zhao Ran had a headache, and he began to calculate, after Lei Shan left, who would be next?

Just pondering, a little white light flashed in front of him, Zhao Ran grabbed it with his hand, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, the four monks were still inquiring about their whereabouts?

Zhao Ran was about to go to the Hongyuan Guardhouse, and decided to simply test the intentions of these four people by the way, so he temporarily put down Lei Shan's matter and ordered: "Prepare to drive and go to the moon." ”

After getting into the carriage, the two square hall inspectors drove the car, and a group of big squares went out of the main gate and went along the main street to the west gate. When passing by the restaurant of the rich man Shen, Zhao Ran glanced at the second floor through the curtain of the carriage, but only saw the silhouettes of the two shoulders, and could not see the appearance of these people.

Out of the West Gate, Zhao Ran received a flying charm from the butcher: "They got out of the restaurant and went to the West Gate." Brother Shen and I followed them. ”

Zhao Ran hurriedly stopped: "Brother Yide, don't follow, I have a spirit demon guard here, and I am afraid of startling the snake if you follow behind." ”

Fighting grass and scaring snakes is one thing, the key is that Zhao Ran can't figure out the details of these four people, if the cultivation is profound, with the cultivation of the butcher and the rich man Huang Guan, following behind is to deliver food, not only can it not play a role in fighting, but Zhao Ran is also distracted to take care of it.

The butcher and the rich man Shen also understood the trick, and stopped when they followed the city gate, and said, "Then you should be careful yourself, and tell us if you need anything." ”

After Zhao Ran went out of the West Gate, he let the Nangui Daoist fly above his head, if the other party's cultivation was profound, once the situation was not good, he could escape on the spot by goose.

But the other party showed no signs of speeding up to catch up, so Zhao Ranan sat in the car, just urging to speed up, and saw the military camp of the palace guard from a distance in half an hour. Zhao Ran ordered the sedan car to stop, and the Nangui Daoist fell down and stopped on Zhao Ran's shoulder: "These four guys are seven or eight miles behind, and I don't know who they are. ”

"Huang Guan or Jin Dan, or Archmage, Alchemist?"

"I can't tell. ”

"What about Shen Jiangzi Daoyou?"

"Just to the southwest, as soon as I greet him in the sky, he will arrive in a moment. What's the matter, do you need to bring the fairies here?"

"Don't worry, this is close to the army camp, let's wait. ”

If these people have no bad intentions, they should catch up and meet each other at this time, and if there is a ghost in their hearts, they dare not approach the camp.

After waiting for a while, without the return of the Nangui Daoist, Zhao Ran had already noticed through the sedan curtain that several figures in the distance stopped about three miles away, and they should have seen the military camp and their own cars, so they no longer moved forward, but lowered their bodies and hid in the grass behind the gentle slope.

Zhao Ran stared at it, because it was too far away, he really couldn't tell who was following him. Although I don't know the specific intentions of the other party, I can almost tell if I am friend or foe with that sneaky look.

He immediately remembered the gray-clothed man who was suspected of being Jing Zhiwu in the party member Archie's yurt last year. Up to now, there is still no evidence to confirm that the gray-clothed man is Jing Zhiwu, and in the "census" like looking for a needle in a haystack, it has not been conclusively determined which missing monk the ashes in the stone belong to. In Dongfang Li's report on his case last month, the scope has been reduced from the initial 238 people to 78 people, and the two cabinets are still investigating them one by one.

But as soon as this thought came to mind, Zhao Ran felt that the possibility was not too big, these four guys were too amateurish compared to the way the man in gray acted, not like a person all the way.

After pondering for a while, he deduced that the cultivation of the four people should not exceed that of the refiner, and the refiner could not do this kind of thing hiding in the grass - it was really a bit cheap. If it was really a high-level cultivator, he wouldn't be so sneaky and tracking, and he would catch up and stop him when he got out of Hongyuan.

With a rough judgment, Zhao Ran began to think about countermeasures, at the beginning he planned to fly the talisman close at hand, Pei Zhongze was stationed in the Hongyuan Imperial Palace, with more than a dozen monks, including four golden pills, and a batch of powerful flying talismans and magic weapons, it was more than enough to take down these four guys.

But after thinking about it for a moment, he dispelled this idea again, and he wanted to see what these four guys were trying to do.
