I picked up the villain after wearing the book

Chapter 249 Many crises (seeking monthly pass!!!)
Gently wiped his mouth with the silk handed over by the maid, Jiang Lian began to feel that he could no longer be so decadent.

Although such a life is good, it is meaningless.

But in this secular dynasty, the places where information can be obtained are these teahouses and restaurants.

This group of ferocious guards was able to destroy his plan by three points.

As long as they stand there, no matter what it means to represent their own identities, in short, there are almost no people around to talk about state affairs.

And he is so blatant, I believe many eyes have noticed him.

This is not alarmist talk, but to say that there are various forces staring at Duanfu itself.

As long as people who come out of it, they may have been labeled Duanfu in the eyes of some forces.

In this way, it will be even more difficult to know what news.

As for using the power of mercenaries?
Jiang Lian thought about it, but still felt that it was not so reliable.

Most of the mercenary forces are used to investigate those holy lands of sects, and to investigate secular dynasties, it is definitely a sledgehammer.

And it will also expose your position, which is quite a bit of a loss.

The realm of cultivating immortals is far larger than imagined, and the sphere of influence of the secular dynasty is not small. However, the intelligence network of mercenaries is too powerful, so try to use it as much as possible.

After thinking about it, Jiang Lian still put the question down.

After returning to the general's mansion, make a decision.

Today he really played very smartly.

As for the news, it was not found out at all.

Moreover, his aimless spreading of the net is not the kind of appearance that he wants to find out the news.

Until nightfall, Jiang Lian chose to return to the General's Mansion.

As the new guest minister of the General's Mansion, no one would dare to stop him when he came in and out.

But this kind of person who hasn't done anything all day makes people look slightly sideways.

After Jiang Lian saw their eyes, his heart moved.

Jiang Lian thought for a while, then raised his eyebrows, "They reminded me that I really should find something to do."

Then he went directly to Duan An.

Duan An is in the study at the moment, and he doesn't know what he is busy with.

Jiang Lian asked someone to report, and after getting a response, he walked in directly.

Duan An looked up.

Jiang Lian cupped his hands lightly, "General, I went out to play today, and I was so loved by the general, that I was worthy of several attendants and two maids. I deeply feel that the general is the ear of the virtuous corporal."

"Mr. Jiang, you are being polite. Since you like my general's mansion, there must be corresponding courtesy in my general's mansion. You don't have to take it too seriously." Duan An also got up and said sincerely.

Jiang Lian saw that this person's eyes were not fake, and he didn't say much polite words.

"Jiang is very grateful for accepting the general's gift." Jiang Lian then said sincerely, "If the general has anything that has not been processed, you can leave it to me. After it is processed, the general can check it out."

At a certain moment, Duan An didn't know why, but saw a touch of pity in the eyes of the big white cat on Jiang Lian's shoulder.

This is a very human expression.

But it only flashed for a moment.

Duan An even thought he was wrong.

But then he pondered for a while, and then said, "Sir, do you really have such ambitions?"

He's just a guest, and he doesn't know where he came from. As for those documents and the like, they are all secrets in the general's mansion, how can they be handed over to an outsider for review?

However, the duty of Ke Qing is to share the worries of others when the master is in trouble.

It's not too much for him to ask this question now, but the average guest minister should not be so direct.

"I would like to share my worries for the general." Jiang Lian gently cupped his hands again.

After being silent for a while, Duan An also gritted his teeth, "Okay! Since you have such thoughts, although there are no secrets in my general's mansion, they are all important national affairs. I just hope that you will not review them hastily, but think twice. Row."

Jiang Lian nodded slightly, "It's natural."

After coming out of the study, Jiang Lian showed a look of relief on his face.

Duan An is a hero, but also an extremely decisive person, who knows how to employ people without doubt.

Ordinary generals are far from this courage.

This level of trust can also be said to be a double-edged sword. If you are a trustworthy person, then you will definitely increase your status in this gentleman's heart.

If it is someone who is not trustworthy, it will definitely make a mess of things.

This is beyond doubt.

Jiang Lian returned to his room.

The big white cat sighed softly, "You don't even deal with things in your own sect, how can you be so diligent when it's your turn in the general's mansion."

"I don't do things, I just don't do small things." Jiang Lian gave him a soft look. "Handling things can better understand the current dynasty situation, and many things can be analyzed by then, but it won't take too much time."

This was his idea. If he wanted to reverse the situation in which the whole family of the General's Mansion had been beheaded, he had to be prepared.

As for Duan Qing, he also checked it with his spiritual sense.

It's just a young man who hasn't practiced yet. In the world of cultivating immortals, if he hasn't practiced before the age of ten, it will be difficult to catch up if he works hard the day after tomorrow.

But now Duan Qing should be 15 years old.

As a man at this age, he already has a preliminary understanding of things.

It's just that as a member of the general's mansion, he hasn't started to practice yet, which is extremely surprising.

There is nothing to say about the physique, reaching 95 points.

Those who can achieve a score of 95 or more are divine bodies from ancient times.

It's just that for these physiques, they are still useful enough before transcendence. After reaching the realm of transcendence, everyone can realize their own Tao, and physiques are not very useful.

Unless it is the kind of heaven-defying divine body with a score of 95 or more, this kind of physique is not even the blood of those ancient emperors.

Rather, it goes back to the more ancient and ancient times.

Although Jiang Lian didn't understand it very well, he knew a thing or two.

This Duan Qing's physique is considered top-notch, and anyone who can become the protagonist's opponent has two brushes.

It may be that there are some shackles, or that Duan An didn't let him start practicing.

This also makes sense.

After all, as a general, it is already a big tree attracting wind. As for the descendants, if they have not started to practice, then the suspicion of the above will definitely be reduced.

Jiang Lian thought of many things almost instantly.

As a cultivator, practice is a must, and he will let his descendants also start to practice.

And if it is within the dynasty, the people of the secular dynasty do not have such a desire for practice, and there are only one or two emperors who yearn for immortality.

They hold enough power in their hands, and when the power reaches its peak, they want to maintain it forever, and even say that they can create an immortal dynasty, which can last forever.

It's just that very few people succeed.

Practitioners devote all their energy to practice in order to live forever, so there is no time to manage sect affairs.

This is a consistent idea, but for those strong men who are not emperors, it should not be so urgent.

Before Jiang Lian's thoughts settled down, several guards knocked on his door and waited outside, "Mr. Jiang, General Duan asked us to come over and deliver the documents to be corrected."

"Come in." Jiang Lian said slowly.

Four guards came in carrying a table.

On the table are some documents that have not yet been reviewed, arranged in a thick pile, even if it is a general, there are many opportunities to manage every day.

As the third most powerful figure in the dynasty, second only to the royal family and those princes, and holding a heavy army, he was already comparable to those princes.

The things in the house are naturally extremely meticulous.

Many things still need him to ask.

Jiang Lian put his hand on the table, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

This general is really generous, he just asked casually, and even said that he himself did not expect to achieve his goal.

I just wanted to get acquainted, but I was able to get such a great trust from the general.

If this was put on an ordinary person, it would not directly embarrass him, otherwise he would be sorry for his trust.

After the four guards left, Jiang Lian gently opened the document.

Well, there is still value.

At least for him, he can understand the context of this dynasty.

For example, this document recorded the flood in Dahe Province, the flood, Jiang Lian was slightly surprised afterwards, how could this flood document be in the hands of a general?

There are still some unusual meanings, but now is not the time to struggle with this.

After getting the documents, he started the review.

Coupled with the casual sketching, it can be regarded as a review.

Although this is a governing document of a country, such things are always changing.

If a country wants long-term stability, many things are indispensable.

For example, benevolent government, such as loving the people.

Hanoi is fierce, and the immigrants are from the east of the river. This is not acceptable.

Also find a way to solve the problem.

Although Jiang Lian didn't understand how these secular dynasties governed, he still had the idea of ​​Jiuxuanmen for these years.

He can also take into account the issue of rejuvenating the country and strengthening the foundation.

He has stabilized a super sect of cultivating immortals as big as Jiuxuanmen, and the affairs of this secular dynasty are no longer challenging for him.

Coupled with the memory of his previous life, it is equivalent to him having lived for more than 100 years. The experience of these years combined is far stronger than these old slickers who have experienced in the secular dynasty.

After half an hour, he finished reviewing all these documents, and also had a preliminary understanding of this secular dynasty.

This has achieved his purpose.

As for the various conflicts at the top, he could see some of them in these documents, but not many, and he had some vague guesses.

"Come on." Jiang Lian said directly.

The previous guards did not leave, but waited outside the door, which is equivalent to the personal servants assigned to him by the Duan Mansion.

The four guards trotted in directly, bowed their hands and said, "Mr. Jiang".

Jiang Lian nodded slightly, and then said directly, "Send these documents back to the general. If there is anything he is not satisfied with, let him review it again, and I will not be responsible for the second time."

"Yes." Although Jiang Lian's words were a little blunt, these guards also obeyed orders, so naturally they didn't say much.

After Jiang Lian left, Duan An fell into deep thought.

What is the background of this guest?As for what Jiang Lian was going to do, he didn't have any further insights.

He couldn't even find out about his identity.

This means that this person is like a fog, making it hard to see clearly, but there is definitely a talent.

Just when we first met, what he said was definitely not mediocre.

Today is another day of sightseeing in this city, and I have visited almost all the famous places in this city, not to mention other things, but the cost is huge.

Although he assigned guards to Jiang Lian, these guards had no obligation to pay Jiang Lian.

Ordinarily, a guest would have to spend at least one month before he could get this month's regular silver, and the silver was very little, far from enough compared to Jiang Lian's expenses today.

It is even said that some things have already begun to pay a premium.

For example, some so-called "bounties" he handed over to Xiaoer.

That was real gold.

In secular dynasties, the metal that is generally circulated is silver, and gold is considered a relatively noble thing.

The big spender is definitely not like a normal layman, and he has his own unique identity presumably.

Now I asked him for some documents again, and he was very generous, sending all the documents that had not been processed.

It involves a lot about marching and fighting, about some major domestic events, all things are related to the people, and it also involves things that can turn the world upside down, such as war.

The part of the war is his own job, as for domestic affairs, it is the power entrusted to him by the king.

This part of the power allows him to stabilize the princes.

He also knew that he was just a sword used by the king to fight against the power of those princes and kings.

If this sword is useless, it can be discarded at any time.

That's why he has been looking for a way out for his own affairs.

The wanton recruitment of talented people may have really moved some treasonous thoughts, but that's all. It's not really possible to take any action to overthrow the kingship, and even said that because of the king's reluctance, he will be even more suspicious of him. The eldest son Duan Qing was not allowed to practice.

A long time ago, he asked someone from Xianmen to test Gengu. At that time, he knew that his son's talent was extremely terrifying.

But if his son really stepped into the way of cultivation, or when he showed an incomparably powerful talent, it would be time for the whole family to be wiped out.

In order to protect his family, he could only suspend Duan Qing's cultivation until today.

He saw it very clearly, so when the fairy sect at that time wanted to accept Duan Qing, he flatly refused, and from the beginning to the end, he did not disclose anything about cultivation to Duan Qing.

Ordinary immortal sects can't protect their Duan family. After all, behind the dynasties of the secular world, there is also the power of cultivating immortals.

Although it is said that the relationship between the secular dynasty and the forces of Xianmen is not close, it is only the relationship of paying tribute, but he can't take a risk.

The Nine Immortal Gates are enough, but will His Majesty let them achieve their goal so easily?

As for making a move, he felt that the timing was far from ripe. The king had deep plans, and if he made a move rashly, it would be futile and would lead to his own destruction.

We can only slowly accumulate strength. As long as we get more voice in this dynasty, the risk of the Duan family will be smaller.

As for the suspicion and fear of the king, that is another matter.

And so on, General Duan's mansion today seems to be full of beauty, but in fact it is full of crises.

These crises are not on the surface, but are all in that person's thought.

In fact, he didn't expect too much from Jiang Lian's handling of state affairs, he just wanted to test the extent of this gentleman's knowledge.

But soon, his mind changed.
