Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 204

"By the way, Gu Daoyou," at this moment, Shangguan Jin said again, "Your letter of appointment has come down today. The Chief Secretary asked you to go to the observatory in half an hour to get it from him, and it happens that he has something important to talk to you."

"Thank you for letting me know!" Gu Xu said politely.

At the same time, he thought to himself: Finally, he can get promoted and raise his salary again.I don't know if my salary can be doubled this time.

…………

The headquarters of the Exorcist Department is indeed magnificent, even the area of ​​the public kitchen is several times larger than that of the Yishui County Yamen, and the variety of dishes is much richer than that of Yishui, where tastes from all over the country can be eaten.

Like Shi Xiaohan, who almost never eats in the public kitchen, her eyes light up with excitement after seeing the rich food in the public kitchen of the headquarters of the Exorcism Division.

She ordered a portion of each dish, filled the table, and gorged herself, as usual, without caring about her appearance.

Seeing such a scene, the monks passing by were all shocked.

They really didn't expect that this pretty-looking girl had such an "unrestrained and uninhibited" posture when eating.

Gu Xu ordered a pair of sausage noodles and an almond tofu, and sat opposite Shi Xiaohan.

At this time, Shi Xiaohan had already cleaned up most of the dishes on the table.

"Gu Xu, Sister Shangguan told me today that there is a vacancy for the post of seventh-rank 'Master Book' in the headquarters of the Exorcist Division," she raised her head and said to Gu Xu while wiping the oil stains on her mouth with her sleeve, "My current practice The realm has reached the requirements. I want to try to compete for this position."

"'Master Book' is a clerical job." Hearing this, Gu Xu felt a little surprised. "A woman like Shi who is determined to slay demons and demons, shouldn't be interested in this kind of job?"

In his opinion, with Shi Xiaohan's active personality, he would rather go into the ghost's lair alone with a big knife than sit behind his desk and read documents obediently.

"No way," Shi Xiaohan spread his hands, "In the entire headquarters of the Exorcist Division, there is only one vacancy that fits my current state. I don't have such a great contribution to 'saving tens of thousands of people in Qingzhou Prefecture'. It is impossible to be exceptionally promoted like you.

"According to Sister Shangguan, if I want to stay in Luojing City, I can only do this boring clerical work for the time being. Unless I resign, I will definitely be driven back to Yishui County, or transferred to other places."

Gu Xu glanced at her unexpectedly, he didn't expect her to be so determined to stay in the capital.

"What does your father think of this?" he asked.

"He wants to use his connections to transfer me to Laizhou Mansion to work under his nose," Shi Xiaohan snorted sullenly, "I'm not a kid anymore, so I don't want to be stared at by him all the time. Besides, this heroine has always been upright, so she should defeat her opponents in an upright manner, so she shouldn't do things like go through the back door!"

"Xiao Han, you should know that the competition within the Exorcist Division is very fierce. I just wanted to be a ninth-rank official, so I had to fight Ma Qin for [-] rounds with ten years of work experience. The Luojing headquarters, It will only make it more hidden. Moreover, a position like 'master book' should pay great attention to the assessment of theoretical knowledge, and you need to spend a lot of time to endorse it."

"This heroine is not afraid." Shi Xiaohan put down the chopsticks in his hand, then grabbed a pancake and stuffed it into his mouth, "My father said more than once that I am a hidden genius—as long as I am willing With hard work, nothing can trouble me."

Gu Xu sighed softly.

The girl in front of her can obviously go back to inherit the family property and enjoy the wealth and comfort, but she still wants to stay in the capital by all means, even doing a job she doesn't like.

He has no right to influence her choice.

He just worried that she would be unhappy in the future.

"I will support you," he said softly after a moment of silence, "Just let me think about it first, there may be a better solution to this matter..."

"Be open and aboveboard, don't go through the back door!" Shi Xiaohan said with a serious expression and every word.

Gu Xu put his index finger in front of his lips, signaling her to speak softly.

…………

After dinner, Gu Xu walked up the stairs to the observatory.

Luo Chuan, head of the Exorcist Division, was wearing a crane cloak as usual, sitting behind a low table, sipping tea leisurely.Against the background of the blue sky and white clouds, it looks like a fairy in the world.

Opposite Luo Chuan, there was another person sitting.

The man was tall and tall, wearing a bright red robe, with a long beard, sitting carelessly beside the low table; the belt was loose, and the front of the skirt was slightly opened, revealing the strong muscles of his chest.

In front of him was a jug of wine and a large bowl.

The strong man in red robe poured a bowl full of wine for himself, and drank it down in one gulp.A lot of wine leaked from the corner of his mouth and stained his beard.

After drinking, he also burped very loudly.

Standing at Gu Xu's position, one could smell the strong aroma of wine.

"Luochuan, this is an old wine from Youzhou. It's much more exciting than your bland tea. Would you like to try it?" The red-robed man poured himself a second cup of wine while talking. Bowl of wine.

"Let's forget it," Luo Chuan picked up the small and exquisite teacup, and took a sip of the tea, "To practice the art of deduction of secrets, you still have to stay awake at all times."

Gu Xu waited quietly at the stairs, without stepping forward to disturb him.

But Luo Chuan quickly noticed him.

"Gu Xiaoyou, you are finally here!" Luo Chuan immediately got up to greet him.

Before Gu Xu could salute and greet him, Luo Chuan took him to the side of the low table and sat on a futon.Then Luo Chuan lifted the teapot again, and poured Gu Xu a cup of hot tea with his own hands.

The strong man in red robe gave Gu Xu a surprised look.

He obviously didn't expect that Chief Luo, who has always been proud of his identity, would treat a young man who has not yet been crowned with such an attitude.

"This is Zhao Changying, Lord Yan." Luo Chuan introduced to Gu Xu, pointing to the strong man in red robe.

"I went through Gu Xu in the Exorcist Division of Xia Yishui and met the Duke!" Gu Xu immediately got up and bowed his hands.

At the same time, he complained silently in his heart: Of the two saints in front of him, one is elegant and unrestrained, the other smells of alcohol and is rough and unrestrained, the painting style is really different.

"So you are that Gu Xu! You really look extraordinary, and you are worthy of being the young hero who saved Qingzhou Mansion!" Yan Guogong Zhao Changying said with a hearty smile, "Actually, beside the black altar of Kongxuan Sanren, I I've already met you once. It's just that I was in a hurry and didn't see your face clearly."

Having said that, Zhao Changying paused for a while, then pointed to the jug in front of him: "Gu Xiaoyou, why don't you try our Youzhou spirits? It was taken from our old cellar not long ago. It tastes delicious and delicious. alcohol.

"In my opinion, real men have to drink in big bowls, and only sissies drink tea in small sips."

Hearing his words, Luo Chuan smiled faintly, and responded: "People who drink wine are ordinary people, and people who drink tea are refined scholars. Gu Xiaoyou, sit down first, don't listen to him."
