Two days passed in a flash, and in the anxious waiting of the entire Zaitin Mansion, the new Zhizhou finally arrived.

The kingdom of the Celestial Empire is so vast, from Shangjing to Zaitianfu, even if it is the fastest cloud ship, it will take ten days, and this new Lord Zhizhou is actually on the road as early as when the eunuch in charge of reading the will set off, and he is only officially present today.

Before the new Zhizhou arrived, all kinds of rumors spread throughout Zaitenfu, some people said that the new Zhizhou used to be a disciple of Yinglongzong, and Zaitianfu was afraid that it would fall into the hands of Yinglongzong in the future.

Some people say that the new Zhizhou is actually a member of the royal family, and he came to fight for the sake of the Son of Heaven.

Some people also said that the new Zhizhou is actually a depressed official, and this time he came because he was full of energy to do a big job, and it may not necessarily be worse than before.

But Zi Baifeng feels that the first two are unreliable, if it is said that it is a disciple of Yinglongzong, the meaning of the return protection of the Heavenly Dynasty corresponding to the Dragon Sect is too exaggerated, if there is really a disciple of the Ying Dragon Sect coming, I am afraid that it will be less than ten days, Zaitianfu will really become a dead city, although Zaitianfu is located in a remote area, sparsely populated, but after all, it is also a state with a wide area, how can Ying Longzong be able to make the Heavenly Empire sacrifice himself to feed the tiger? Although Gao Shan'an lost to Ying Longzong in the court, at most it is only a minister-level contest.

And if it is said to be the front station for the emperor's royal drive, others don't know the way, but Zi Baifeng knows the way, there has already been a traveling immortal monarch who went to Yinglongzong to take care of everything, and the Son of Heaven is coming, so he will naturally not stay in Zaitianfu and directly enter Yinglongzong. It is not necessary to send someone again.

Since it is not necessary, the probability is not very high.

As for whether they are depressed officials, in fact, most officials are depressed, they feel that their efforts have not been rewarded, and they all expect to get more.

In fact, Zi Baifeng knows the Dao, and others naturally know the Dao, in the past two days, not to mention the ordinary officials, even Dayou Xianjun, Elder Pingqi and others, when chatting, they are all discussing the topic of the new Zhizhou.

When the new governor really arrived, everyone's glasses fell to the ground.

Although Zi Baifeng is just a landscape lang, his grade is not low, and he is six grades.

When many officials carrying Tianfu went to greet him, Zi Baifeng was also pulled over, standing in an inconspicuous position in the queue, they were in the back row, the location was remote, and everyone was all kinds of idle people, Zi Baifeng counted carefully, and found that there were more than a dozen officials who were worse than his own landscapes, and he had to sigh that there was a sky in the sky, and there were people outside the people.

A few people are not afraid of any future anyway, and they are not at all as straight as the officials in front of them, and they are all whispering to each other, discussing what kind of person they trust Zhizhou will be.

Although Zi Baifeng didn't get involved, he also pricked up his ears to listen, and when he heard them talk about the interesting things, he couldn't help but laugh, these people can really think about it.

But when the cloud ship arrived, and trusted Zhizhou to step down from the cloud ship, everyone was dumbfounded.

The person who walked down first, wearing a big red robe, was a third-grade official. He is not tall, his hair is tied in a bun, he is hidden in a hat, his face is white and beardless, and he looks slightly thin.

But Zi Baifeng took a closer look, and it turned out to be a female official!

The Celestial Empire is a man's world, but the strictness of education and defense is not as good as the ancient times of the previous life that Zi Baifeng understands, the biggest difference is that women can also participate in the imperial examination, for example, Chi Yanzi disguised herself as a man to participate in the imperial examination. This time, the proportion of women is about one percent, and Zi Baifeng also saw Chi Yanzi chatting with several female candidates. However, although there are female officials, very few are in high positions.

Most female officials are concentrated in idle positions and are in charge of less important work.

In fact, not to mention now, even in previous lives, women still have more invisible ceilings than men.

"It's this adult!" One of the people next to Zi Baifeng was suddenly shocked, "Life is not easy." ”

"Is this lord famous?" After all, Zi Baifeng has only been in Tianfu for a short time, and he has never been in contact with the officialdom of the Celestial Empire before.

"Of course, this adult's surname is Hong, called Hong Qinying, and he is one of the most powerful female officials in the court, and it is rumored that he is extremely good with many royal princesses and concubines. "The human," there are also people who say that this adult is ruthless, does things simply, has done several big things, is extremely strict, and is extremely serious everywhere, and has won the trust of the Son of Heaven, and some people say that the Son of Heaven loves ......."

Before the man finished speaking, Hong Qinying suddenly turned her eyes and looked over.

The high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Empire, especially the substantive officials, are all extremely high-level cultivators without exception, and Hong Qinying is no exception, not to mention what she cultivated before entering the officialdom, after entering the officialdom, she has more "Wendao" skills, and her official reputation is added.

Judging from the reputation of this Hongqin Ying, this official voice is not idle, the official voice is like an obsession, Uncle Qingshi is remembered, and he can still become a "bluestone god", the galloping horse stone is obsessed, and it can also be incarnated into a galloping horse, a stone statue in a small ancestral hall, can also be incarnated as a heavenly soldier, so what about the obsession of the people in a place?

Therefore, the cultivation of this Lord Hongqinying is actually extremely high, and he can naturally hear the whispers below, and at this time, his eyes swept away, and the official who talked a lot was like being struck by lightning and stood there.

Although he didn't say much, Zi Baifeng heard it, and it implied that she had a leg with the emperor, a female official, and I was afraid that this kind of gossip was indispensable around her.

Zi Baifeng patted the man's shoulder and shed a tear of sympathy, but his eyes happened to meet with Hong Qinying.

Hong Qinying glared at him fiercely, Zi Baifeng smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more.

That indifferent attitude made Hong Qinying quite unhappy.

There is not even the most basic condescension and humility, Hong Qinying has a prejudice against Zi Baifeng in her heart, and she feels even more dislike at this time.

Of course Zi Baifeng doesn't think so, he and Wu Yunhou, Gao Shan'an and others are all very casual, this newcomer to Zhizhou, how can He De make him respectful?

Hong Qinying's cultivation is naturally high to that official, but to him, it is nothing, and there are countless masters he has seen.

As for Hong Qinying, the governor of Tianzhou, it is difficult to say whether she can sit firmly.

Just this morning, Zi Baifeng sensed that Ying Longzong's Spirit Gathering Array had been reactivated.

The first thing this Lord Hong Qinying did after taking office, I am afraid that he will inevitably have to deal with Ying Longzong, this is the natural reason for the demand of "Wendao" for "official voice", as long as Hong Qinying does not want to destroy her future, she must seek benefits for the people of Zaitenfu.

Zi Baifeng feels that this feeling is like the election of Western countries in the previous life, the official voice is like a ballot, there are more votes, and the natural strength is strong, but this mechanism, automatic operation, direct feedback, is much more advanced than the election in the West.

In some respects, this world is more advanced than in previous lives.

On the other hand, if this governor of Zaitianzhou wants to sit firmly, he must rely on Zi Baifeng.

Because the reason why the entire Zaitianfu is still standing here now, and it has not turned into a dead city, is all thanks to Zibaifeng.

The officials of Zaitianfu, those who have a little knowledge, all know this, so even if Zi Baifeng is just a landscape man, there are really few people who dare to embarrass him.

After Hong Qinying, a few more people came down, it seems that Hong Qinying is not a single officer, Zi Baifeng wanted to ask who those people were, but the people around him were all stunned by Hong Qinying's glance just now, silent, and no one dared to speak anymore.

Zi Baifeng could only frown and take a closer look, judging from the color of the clothes, one of them was a Lang Zhong from the Ministry of State Industry of the Heavenly Empire, surnamed Dong, and the other two or three were all attachés brought by Hong Qinying, perhaps her right-hand men.

The two parties exchanged pleasantries, and one of the officials said in Hong Qinying's ear: "My lord, the one in the back is Zi Buyu, and the one standing in front is Wen Huaichu, the new city lord of Changliu City." ”

Zi Baifeng and Wen Gongzi had sharp ears, they had already heard it clearly, and their eyes were projected at the same time, and then they subconsciously glanced at each other.

It seems that this Lord Hong also pays special attention to them, and both of them have some doubts in their hearts, why should they pay attention to them?

After greeting, the head of Zaitianfu, headed by Wuyun Hou, has set up a banquet in his Hou Mansion to wash the dust for Lord Hong.

This kind of thing, in fact, was supposed to be done by Gao Shan'an, and then after the two handed over to each other, Lord Hong set up a banquet to see Gao Shan'an off, but in a hurry, the two didn't even have a handover.

This kind of banquet, naturally there is nothing to do with Zi Baifeng, and everyone disperses by themselves.

Wen Gongzi was among the invitees, and before he left, he cast a meaningful look at Zibaifeng, both of them understood what the other was thinking, and the comer was not good, so he was cautious.

......

Zaitianfu Mansion, Lord Hong sat in the study, looking at the stack of reports in his hand.

Everything in this study has been erased except for the outermost plaque, and it seems that he has never lived here.

The original thick table of the Eight Immortals has now turned into a long case painted dark red, and it is full of various documents.

As a newcomer, there are many things that Lord Red needs to familiarize himself with.

"Wen Huaichu, Zi Baifeng. The two stacks of materials in her hands are extremely thick, especially the stack of Zibaifeng, which is half a palm thick, and the writing is dense.

These materials naturally could not have been prepared today, obviously before Lord Hong's arrival, the investigation of Zi Baifeng and the others had already begun.

There are two people sitting opposite Lord Hong, one of them is the Ministry Langzhong that Zi Baifeng has seen, and the other person is also a woman, who looks older than Lord Hong, and is also dressed in the same men's clothes, she is Lord Hong's right-hand man, and will be the king of Zaitianfu.

And the former Zaitianfu Governor has also been removed from his post and used for other purposes.

"Yijun, Xintian, what do you two think?"

These two people, the man is called Dong Xintian, and the woman is called Pu Yijun, both of whom are the henchmen of Lord Hong.

Dong Xintian didn't speak, he just shook his head slightly, he didn't talk much, and Lord Hong turned his head to look at Pu Yijun again.

Pu Yijun said: "My lord, in my opinion, Gongzi Wen is noble, has a deep background, is also upright, and what he does is reasonable. And this son is silent, behaves perversely, and has a grudge against Ying Longzong, the reason why Lord Gao Shan An, who hates Ying Longzong so much, would rather destroy his future than confront Ying Longzong, must have been bewitched by this person. The saint has clouds, the near gentleman is far from the villain, the son of Wen is a great talent, and his achievements in the future are unlimited, this son is silent, although he has learned well, but after all, he is too narrow-minded, and staying by his side is a disaster after all. ”

A far villain and a gentleman has already explained Pu Yijun's attitude.

Dong Xintian put down the information in his hand and said, "The land needed to build the Spirit Gathering Array is now in his hands. ”

"Just take it back. Lord Hong said lightly.

Dong Xintian nodded and didn't say much.

"Shanshui Lang ......" Hong Qinying flicked the paper in her hand, her brows furrowed slightly, what she hated most in her life was that others chewed the root of her tongue behind her back, and her superiority was completely the result of her own efforts, because as a woman, she was suspected of all kinds of things, which made her very unhappy. Although Zi Baifeng didn't speak this morning, she already held a grudge against her, and she had a bad impression.

And as soon as she arrived, Ying Longzong had already reopened the Spirit Gathering Array, this blatant action gave her great psychological pressure, and before she came, she had already made a military order, and she would never let Zaitin Mansion die because of the lack of spiritual energy.

Above the court, Ying Longzong had obviously promised not to open the Spirit Gathering Array again, but at this time, he broke his promise and became fat.

There is only a little more than a month before the official start of the Face Immortal Conference, and the current Ying Long Sect is not completely ready.

At this time, of course, it is necessary to go to the book and go to Beijing, but if the book comes and goes, I am afraid that it will take a few days, even if it is a book, what can it be? Ying Longzong has been desperate for the face immortal conference, can she make Ying Longzong stop with a word?

It's just a matter of pulling each other's skins, as long as the Face Immortal Conference officially starts, it will be a big deal to play thirty boards in the end.

Ying Longzong saw it very clearly.

But for her, or for her career, it is not good news.

She didn't want Takayama to be a lesson for her.

Fortunately, Dong Xintian arrived, this Dong Xintian is one of the best formation experts in the Ministry of Industry, and they brought the jade money specially allocated by the Heavenly Empire for Zaitianfu on this trip, which is enough to build a huge spirit gathering array for several cities in Zaitian Prefecture, and support the operation for a year.

It's just this time that gets hard.

Thinking of this, Hong Qinying's heart settled down a little.

The first thing is to quickly take back those lands and let Dong Xintian gather the Spirit Gathering Array.

Hong Qinying leaned back in the chair and rubbed her eyes with both hands, this is the first time she has really become a Zhizhou, the first time she has taken charge alone, and she is no longer someone else's deputy, she must do everything to the best of her ability.

She believes she can do her best, but she can't be careless at all, she has to give 100 percent.

There is still a month and seven days to go, and the Immortal Gathering will be held.

There is still a month to go, and the cloud ships in Beijing will pass by Tianfu and go to Yinglong Sect.

There were still seven days to go, and the Ying Long Sect officially began to accept monks from all walks of life into the Ying Long Sect.

And just five hours ago, Ying Long Sect had just reactivated the Spirit Gathering Array.

According to the distance between Ying Long Sect and Zaitianfu, Ying Longzong's Spirit Gathering Array will affect Zaitianfu within a day.

The first day she came to Zaitianfu was so busy, even when she went to the reception banquet today, she didn't relax in the slightest.

Time is so tight.

"Someone!" Hong Qinying said suddenly.

"Your Excellency!" came the voice of a person outside.

"My lords, in half an hour, let's discuss the matter of building the Spirit Gathering Array. ”

The manpower and material resources required to build a huge Spirit Gathering Array are very huge, and all aspects need to be coordinated.

"Yes, sir!" he said.

Although it was said that it was half an hour, but in less than half an hour, everyone had already gathered, and on the first day of the arrival of Zhizhou, everyone dared to be careless.

Two Zai Tianzhou governors, four Zai Tianfu masters, and six divisions and supervisors gathered together.

“...... The top priority is to build a Great Gathering Array to prevent the Ying Long Sect's Gathering Array from impacting us. Hongqin Ying said.

"My lord!" a lieutenant was full of doubts, "Isn't the construction of the Gathering Spirit Gathering Soul Silent for a while?"

"Let Dong Langzhong explain this matter. Hong Qinying gestured to Dong Xintian.

"I've already investigated, Zi Buyu didn't build a complete Spirit Gathering Array, but just built a few unformed formations. Dong Xintian stood up and said, "Now Zaitianfu can still stand here, it is entirely because of the collapse of Ying Longzong's Spirit Gathering Array, and it has little to do with Zi Buyu, and the formation he built before must all be overturned and restarted." ”

Zi Baifeng didn't rely on formations, the formations he built were just used to hide people's ears, and for ordinary people, they could deceive the past, but for a formation master like Dong Xintian, it was not the case at all.

So what Dong Xintian said was very serious.

"This son is silent, but he is a person who sells his reputation and reputation, and he takes all the credit on himself, which is really a shame for my generation. Dong Xintian said, he is a formation master, he believes in his own judgment, and he hates Zi Baifeng's approach.

Everyone showed a puzzled look, at the beginning of Zi Baifeng's formation construction, the vision they had seen with their own eyes, the spring thunder burst, the feeling of being full of aura, how could it be a fraud?

Now how abundant is the aura of the entire Zaitianfu, how can it be a fraud?

Naturally, they don't know the Dao, Hong Qinying has always lived in Shangjing, and she has long been accustomed to the extraordinarily abundant aura, and takes it for granted that the aura of Zaitianfu is abundant, and when Dong Xintian saw Zi Baifeng's so-called formation, he was already indignant, and naturally he was already blinded.

Some people want to refute something, but Hong Qinying is a Shangguan, and there are professionals to corroborate it, they are all a little lacking in confidence, so they can only look at each other, not knowing what to say.

Don't...... Is the child really like they say, a person who sells fame and reputation?

But some time ago, it was difficult for the entire Zaitianfu to operate, and in the end, it was all up to the sub-adults to survive, which is already the consensus of everyone.
