Tang Ling's current identity is just a member of the sea of blood, since the arrival of the imperial court's envoy, even if he ignores the worldly etiquette, he has to do a good job of superficial work, and he has ordered someone to prepare tea for the reception of Gao Lishi. And the Nine Heavens were impatient with etiquette, and it was already the limit to be able to go out in a proper manner, so before everyone sat down, they had already taken the people of the Absolute Shadow Hall to cultivate elsewhere. Now in the main hall, only Tang Ling and Gao Lishi sit in the main and deputy positions, the Praetorian Guard officer stands aside, and the rest of his subordinates stay outside the hall and stand by.

After taking a sip of the fragrant tea, Gao Lishi's eyes lit up: "I didn't expect the cold waiter to be a good tea ceremony, such a superb, I'm afraid that even the treasures in the palace will be a step worse." ”

Under the mask, a polite laugh was returned: "The envoy has won the award, this tea is a gift from the Holy Hand Sun Cunmiao after refining it himself, and now that there are distinguished guests, the cold naturally does not dare to hide it." ”

"It turned out to be Brother Sun's immortal products, no wonder, no wonder. Gao Lishi took another sip, "The entrance is sweet, the cup is fragrant, which makes people feel refreshed and happy, if there is a chance in the future, our family will have to ask him for a few taels." ”

"When he returns to the sea of blood in the cold, he will bring the word for the envoy. ”

When Gao Lishi heard this, he became curious: "Listening to what the cold waiter said, Brother Sun is now a guest in the sea of blood?"

"Sun Shengshou has now settled in the Sea of Blood. Tang Ling didn't hide it, "At the beginning, the chaos in the underworld was first targeted, and the first target was the Fengyun King who temporarily settled in Sun Shengshou's neighbor. Later, although Sun Shengshou was spared, in order to prevent further accidents, the King of Wind and Cloud ordered the sea of blood to settle his family and neighbors, and now it has been about a year. ”

"Is that so?" Gao Lishi heard it, and his face showed embarrassment, "Jingsheng that child, who was obviously very well-behaved in the past, doesn't know why he became so violent, and ruined his ancestral inheritance. ”

Tang Ling didn't answer, listening to Gao Lishi's tone, it was obvious that he had a good relationship with the underworld. Although Qin Jingsheng took the blame on himself, the Absolute Shadow Hall was the culprit who destroyed the underworld with his own hands after all, and on top of this matter, as the commander, he naturally would not say much. Fortunately, Gao Lishi did not dwell on this issue for too long, put down the teacup, and changed his mocking tone: "Speaking of which, there is one thing that our family has to remind the cold waiter, Your Excellency has an official position now, although it is a false title, but in the future, it is inevitable that you will face the saint in the court, if you still cover your face with a mask at that time, I am afraid that it will ......"

This remark was half ridicule and half temptation, but Tang Ling replied without hesitation: "Regarding this point, Xia Guan is also in trouble. After all, the chill was favored by the King of Fengyun, and when he inherited the Shadow Hall, he made an oath: since he shouldered the name of the word 'chill' and acted in the world, he would no longer be swayed by personal grievances, no longer use his personal name to the outside world, and no longer show people with his own appearance; ”

"So, unless you take off your identity as the hall master of the Shadow Hall, is it still the 'indifferent common people with cold feelings'?" Gao Lishi's tone was a little playful.

Tang Ling immediately took the opportunity to say: "Exactly, so at that time, I will also ask the envoy to say a few kind words to the lords in the court, so as not to think that there is no one in the cold eyes, and do not show his true face." ”

Gao Lishi stared at Tang Ling closely, but his eyes mostly stayed on the mask, as if he hoped to see the other party's true meaning through this thing that covered his face. But after a while, he had given up this useless move, and laughed: "It's okay, since it is the Fengyun King who has words online, presumably the emperor will also understand, as for the Chinese military officials of the dynasty, they dare not use the topic to play." ”

"Then I thanked the envoy. ”

"It should be, it should be. Gao Lishi smiled kindly, "Having said that, our family has another private matter, and I hope that the cold squire can help - Hongping, you come here." ”

Hearing Gao Lishi's call, the Praetorian Guard officer who had been standing solemnly by his side had already answered: "The little nephew is here." ”

"Just now, what do you think is the gap between you and the Shadow Hall?"

"The essence, qi, and spirit are all far apart, and in front of them, we are just a pampered young master. ”

To the Imperial City Guards, calling themselves like this was no different from an insult, but instead of a look of shame on the face of the Praetorian Guard officer after saying this, it seemed that he was ashamed of his own inadequacy. Gao Lishi nodded, and then turned to Tang Ling: "Chill Squire, my little nephew's name is Liu Hongping, and although the team he leads is also a little famous in the imperial city, after all, he is still knowledgeable and embarrassed to serve as a guard. Today, we brought them mainly in the hope that they would see what a real lion in a hundred battles is, a soldier who protects the country. ”

Tang Ling didn't show much surprise: "It seems that the envoy already knows the true identity of the Absolute Shadow Hall. ”

"This is something that needs to be mentioned by Elder Changhe, and our family is fortunate to know. Gao Lishi briefly brought the topic over, "Although the four words of the Imperial City Guard, although they sound majestic, they are actually more than clever and lacking in strength. As Hong Fangcai said, it's just a pampered young master. If something happens, it will always be a waste of effort to deal with it, and it is very likely that nothing will be achieved in the end. ”

"Could it be that the envoy hopes that the Absolute Shadow Hall can give you guidance?" Tang Ling asked again.

"That's true. Gao Lishi nodded, "Chill Squire, you and I both guide the origins of the Shadow Hall, if they help, the Praetorian Guard will naturally improve, and the peaceful atmosphere of the Imperial City will naturally be guaranteed." You are now a pillar of the DPRK, and I hope you don't want to resign. ”

"Although the Jueying Hall is reckless now, it is also a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, so this matter is naturally unshirkable, and the envoy is serious. Tang Ling did not hesitate and agreed.

Gao Lishi and Liu Hongping were overjoyed when they saw that the other party had agreed so happily, but Tang Ling added another sentence: "But the Absolute Shadow Hall is too murderous now, how much impact it may have on the Praetorian Guards at that time, and I hope that the envoy will not be surprised." ”

"Hehe, we can expect it in general, it's okay, the cold waiter just has to let it go. A smile bloomed on Gao Lishi's face, obviously Tang Ling's response was better than he expected.

After saying that, he talked about some insignificant side details, and Gao Lishi took the accompanying Praetorian Guards back to the imperial city to resume his life, Tang Ling did not force them to stay, and after someone sent them away, he stayed alone in the main hall.

"Alas......"

A long sigh, as if he was about to vomit out his exhaustion.

Nine Heavens reappeared: "Dealing with mortals is trouble. ”

Ignoring the sarcasm that has always been full of Jiutian's words, Tang Ling also feels the same way at this moment: "Mortals have been in decline for many years, and most of them are no longer responsible for cultivation, but instead they are scheming and intriguing everywhere. In our opinion, how can it be a hassle to get caught up in it? ”

"But you seem to be able to deal with it with ease. Jiutian blinked, and there was a rare hint of cunning on his originally cold face, teasing Tang Ling, who was always cold to him.

Tang Ling's tone didn't change much: "Is there any?"
