Chapter 120: The Grandmaster Arrives
Wait for Wang Xiaotian and Cao Lianyou to leave. Yu Wanlai took out an envelope covered with fire paint from his pocket, handed the paper to Zhou Ziheng, and said, "This is the latest news from Xijing City that Feng Xingmin asked me to bring to you when I passed through Xikou Pass." ”
Zhou Ziheng opened the envelope, took out the paper inside, looked at it quickly, and suddenly said: "Lin Shaotang is acquitted!"
Yu Wanlai was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "What's the matter? Yin Haichuan has changed his sex? Or did he find out about our deployment?"
Zhou Ziheng shook his head, put the paper and envelope in the palm of his hand, and gently pinched it and turned it into ashes. Then, he clapped his hands and said, "Xue Shuai is out of the customs." ”
Yu Wanlai suddenly realized.
Zhou Ziheng continued: "Not only Xue Shuai, but also the five Force Grandmasters have appeared. Should be gathered here soon. Lin Shaotang was not only acquitted, but also appointed commander-in-chief of the Northern Border Guards, taking office immediately. Calculate the time, it should come soon. ”
Yu Wanlai pondered for a moment and said, "Then do we need to evacuate?"
Zhou Ziheng and the others mobilized the crowd this time in order to find Wang Xiaotian. Strictly speaking, this is a private matter. It's just a coincidence that I met the tide of beasts.
Although Zhou Ziheng arranged for Feng Xingmin to transmit the news of the beast tide back to Xijing at the highest level and with the fastest speed, he calculated the time and released Lin Shaotang, according to the prescribed procedures, this news should not have reached the ears of the five grandmasters.
Unless they have their own information channels, or have eyes and ears in the intelligence transmission system of the inspection institute!
Neither of these points is impossible. For example, the first one, the technology faction is more likely to discover the beast tide than themselves, do they have a faster channel to notify the five grandmasters?
As for the second, it's more convenient. In this world where martial arts are honored, who can refuse the bribes of a Force Grandmaster?
When Feng Xingmin delivered the news, he did not say that Zhou Ziheng was here. The five grandmasters came over and met Zhou Ziheng, if you ask why he is here?
How should Zhou Ziheng answer? To tell the truth, there is a suspicion of public and private use. The five Force Grandmasters are all old and sophisticated characters, what should I do if they see through them?
If Zhou Ziheng wants to compete for the dean of the inspectorate, he must have the support of at least two, preferably more than three Force Grandmasters.
There is only one Force Master who has expressed his support for him. There is also a Force Grandmaster who makes it clear that he does not support him. How do you win supporters from the other three?
Now this juncture is very critical!
Zhou Ziheng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No." We want to stay here, first, to cooperate with Lin Shaotang's northern border guards, and second, to meet with the five grandmasters. It's a rare opportunity. ”
If it was Shen Shuming, he would definitely not understand what Zhou Ziheng meant when he said that the opportunity was rare. But Yu Wanlai quickly figured it out.
The duties of the inspection court require the president to be deaf and clear-sighted and act quickly. Zhou Ziheng went to the front line to resist the beast tide before the five grandmasters came, and Yin Haichuan and Dai Xuquan hadn't received the news at all, let alone come out.
This is an important plus.
As for how to explain it, why they are here is not without reason.
Spy on the "Steam Revival Museum" and discover the important hidden forces in it, only to be caught by surprise, and the other party took our personnel hostage and fled the country in a hurry.
In order to rescue the hostages and destroy the hidden forces, Zhou Ziheng, the chief counselor of the Inspection Yuan, the dragon head of the Qianlong Organization and the seventh-level Force Master, personally led the members of the Qianlong Organization to pursue 3,000 kilometers without sleep, and directly chased them abroad, only to accidentally encounter the outbreak of the beast tide.
Zhou Ziheng immediately sent back important information, urgently mobilized the members of the Qianlong within a thousand kilometers to come to support, and personally participated in the battle on the front line, and the results were brilliant.
Perfect!
This explanation is seamless!
Yu Wanlai couldn't help but be excited and wanted to tell Zhou Ziheng. As soon as he raised his head, he saw that Zhou Ziheng's brows were also relaxed. He instantly understood that Zhou Ziheng had also thought about it. He held back and didn't say anything more.
Sometimes, in front of your boss, it's better to say less than more.
This truth is very clear to Wan Lai.
Cao Lianyou looked excited, watching Wang Xiaotian demonstrate to her how to operate the rapid-fire cannon, and couldn't help but want to operate it herself.
Wang Xiaotian saw her eagerness, immediately got down from the seat, let Cao Lianyou sit on it, and then taught her step by step, how to adjust the direction, how to lock the target, how to fire.
Under the guidance of Wang Xiaotian, Cao Lianyou fired two cannons. Although he didn't hit anything, he was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaotian, you can also find me this rapid-fire cannon, and I will also fight strange birds." ”
"No problem. However, if the strange birds don't come out today, those strange birds will definitely come out tomorrow. When did you leave? How many days have you been walking, are you tired?"
We haven't seen you for three days, and we can't eat in a hurry. After receiving the news from the teacher, he rushed here, and walked for three days and three nights along the way. ”
"If it weren't for the teacher's arrangement along the way, the replacement of the vehicle and driver, counting on the three of us, would be tired and exhausted. ”
When Wang Xiaotian heard this, he felt very guilty. If it weren't for his own recklessness, so much wouldn't have happened. He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry for making you tired." I shouldn't have made up my own mind, I shouldn't have been bold, I shouldn't have ......"
Wang Xiaotian suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he looked up, Cao Lianyou actually fell asleep while sitting. Along the way, she must have been very nervous and had trouble sleeping. Once the heart is lowered, the tense nerves will be doubled as soon as they are relaxed.
Wang Xiaotian immediately picked her up lightly, put her on the moisture-proof cloth, and took out a clean dress from the original crystal space and covered her.
After doing this, he walked to the other end of the moisture cloth and sat down, leaning his head against the wall and falling asleep unconsciously. These days, he's tired enough to choke too. Seeing that Lian Yu relaxed, he was also tired.
The big black dog crawled obediently at his feet. The little monkey shrank in his arms and snorted vigorously.
I don't know how long it took. Wang Xiaotian woke up and felt sore. He put the sleeping little monkey on the moisture-proof sheet, gritted his teeth and stood up, stretching hard.
The black dog was very alert and raised his head, then stood up and rubbed Wang Xiaotian's leg vigorously. Wang Xiaotian half-squatted, touched the black dog's head, and whispered: "Good dog, hard work." ”
The black dog whimpered and stuck out its tongue to lick Xiao Tian's hand.
Wang Xiaotian said: "Good dog, it's me who is not good." I won't next time you throw it away. ”
The black dog whimpered again, raised his head and looked at Wang Xiaotian pitifully.
"Good, good, good, I promise, I promise. However, you're too fat, and I don't have the time to wait for you. If you can't keep up, don't blame me. ”
Wang Xiaotian was talking, and suddenly there was a strange feeling in his heart, as if someone was peeping at him.
However, this is a tower, how can anyone peep? Moreover, the feeling of peeping, the angle is very high, the speed is very fast, almost in a flash.
He immediately straightened up and walked briskly outside. The black dog ran after him.
Zhou Ziheng, Wu Ling'er, and Yu Wanlai also came out of the room and stood in the aisle.
Wang Xiaotian couldn't wait to ask, "Master, what happened just now, why do I feel that someone is peeping?"
Zhou Ziheng said: "That is the divine consciousness of the Force Grandmaster. ”
Wang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment and said, "Where is the Force Grandmaster?"
Zhou Ziheng said: "It's a hundred kilometers away." You wait here, I'll go. Wan Lai, Lao Shen should be almost there, you go to the West Gate to pick him up. Ling'er, you take care of the two of them. ”
After speaking, Zhou Ziheng jumped directly from the fence, fell to the 0th floor, kicked the railing, and the figure got into the passage and was out of sight.
Immediately followed by Yu Wanlai and said, "I'm leaving." He jumped down and left.
Wu Ling'er asked Wang Xiaotian: "I saw you asleep just now, so I didn't call you." Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat. ”
Before Wang Xiaotian could speak, he heard Cao Lianyou's voice, "Auntie, I'm hungry." ”
Wang Xiaotian turned around and saw Cao Lian walking out of the room with sleepy eyes. While walking, I also played haha. The little monkey squatted on her shoulder and brushed her hair.
Wu Ling'er walked over, full of pity, in order to smooth the hair on her forehead, and said, "Whatever you want to eat, my aunt will make it for you." ”
Cao Lianyou blurted out: "Sweet and sour fish." ”
Wu Ling'er's face was difficult. Sweet and sour fish needs to be eaten with live fish, this barren mountain and wilderness, there is not even a river, where to get fish?
Cao Lianyou suddenly came to her senses and immediately changed her words: "Oh, I was in a daze, and I thought this was Xijing City." Don't sugar and sour fish anymore. Sweet and sour pork ribs, or sweet and sour tenderloin. ”
"Good. You wait, right away. ”
Zhou Ziheng sped all the way south in the air, and soon came to a hill five kilometers away. It has long been turned into a military base, with five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry on the periphery, and soldiers are on guard with guns.
These sentinels glanced up at Zhou Ziheng in the air, and continued to do what they should do. Their duty is to warn ordinary people and ordinary beasts, cultivators who can fly in the sky, and they are two worlds.
Inside, there were huge cannons full of deterrent, with thick barrels pointing to the sky. The black and faint muzzle of the cannon shone with a breathtaking light, like the big mouth of a giant beast that chooses people to devour!
Near each cannon, there are more than a dozen soldiers, who are nervously debugging, wiping, and cleaning the cannons.
Further behind are neatly parked steam trucks, from which forklifts are unloading large boxes nearly a man long and transporting them to the cannons in front. The unemptied car quickly starts and leaves, and the fully loaded car quickly fills the empty space.
A kilometer away from the artillery position, there was a shed made of camouflage nets, in which several officers in blue general uniforms and a dozen yellow-green school uniforms were surrounding the middle table, pointing at the map on the table, as if discussing something.
In the open space more than ten meters away next to the shed, there are several tables and chairs made of golden silk nanmu. An old man wearing a moon-white robe, and an old man wearing a black embroidered gold military uniform and a black coat, sat opposite each other and were playing chess across a square table. A fat old man in a white robe sat on the other side of the square table watching chess.
Another old man wearing a black embroidered gold military uniform and a black coat, and an old man in a brown collared half-length robe, were sitting across the table, and there was a sea of tea between the two, and the red tea soup was still swirling in the teacup in front of them.
There is a huge sense of discord between these five old men who are comfortable and dusty, as if they do not eat the fireworks of the world, and the extremely busy and orderly military base next door, as if they are not the scenery of the world.
However, Zhou Ziheng didn't think so. He fell far behind and walked up on foot. This is the least respect for the Force Grandmaster. If you fly directly above their heads, you have to be pulled down by them and beaten severely.
Walking to the open space in front of the five people, Zhou Ziheng bowed his hand and said, "Zhou Ziheng, the chief counselor of the Inspection Yuan, has seen five grandmasters. ”
Yang Liren, who was playing chess, raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Ziheng and did not speak. Chen Yiping turned his head and smiled at Zhou Ziheng, and said, "Busy, you guys talk first." ”
Zhang Zijing, who was watching chess, waved his hand at Zhou Ziheng and said, "Let's talk about the business over there, we just play chess here." Betting on a Yin and Yang Recreation Pill, the two hometowns are really crazy. ”
