Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 257 Mind

Tangning asked, "If the disciples who were on mission outside didn't send back the news in time, what should we do?

Du Yuankai said: "The Xuanying transmits news every month, not only to know the intelligence information from various places, but also to confirm whether their situation is safe. If there is no news in that month, it will be regarded as missing or defected. All intelligence points must Evacuate, including us, must evacuate quickly, lest the Mozong follow the clues to find our hiding place."

"Other than these people in the Taoist temple, who else knows where we are hiding?"

"No, only brother Zheng contacted us directly, and everyone else went to this Taoist temple. To be precise, only three people knew our exact location, brother Zheng, Zhang Xian and Chang Yong, and the others in the Taoist temple did not know where we were. know."

Both Zhang Xian and Chang Yong are disciples of the sect.

Zhang Xian was the man standing with his hands down just now, in charge of intelligence collection, he went out after Zheng Wei came in.

Chang Yong was in charge of raising black eagles and was in charge of information transmission. Du Yuankai arranged for these two people to be by his side, on the one hand to assist him in handling affairs, and on the other hand to supervise and guard against him.

The three chatted for a while before Tangning and Du Yuankai left.

"How is it? What do you think?" Du Yuankai asked when the two left the Taoist temple

Tangning knew that what he was asking was her opinion on Zheng Wei.

Strictly speaking, Zheng Wei and Xu Qingwan, including the [-] or so casual cultivators, were all recruited and promoted by him, and they were directly under his subordinates. Now that Tang Ning took over the post of chief executive, it was the so-called emperor and courtier.

Whether these former court officials would be as loyal to him as they were to him, or whether Tangning was satisfied with these people, was a question.

The two came here this time, of course not to introduce each other, but to investigate Zheng Wei.

After all, he is in charge of intelligence affairs. This position is too important. Once something happens, the consequences will be very serious.If Tangning is not satisfied with him, there will be a lot of trouble.

"It's okay, how was he doing before?"

"That's right. I've always been doing my duty. After building the foundation, I was a little cautious. It's understandable. It doesn't hinder the overall situation. But..." Du Yuankai hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

"He has a lot of admiration for Xu Qingwan."

Tang Ning frowned. A fair lady is a gentleman. The affair between a man and a woman is not worth mentioning, but the problem lies in their identities.

As the only two foundation-building monks in the Silver Fox Intelligence Station, and they are still recruiting casual cultivators, one is in charge of financial affairs and internal affairs, and the other is in charge of intelligence affairs. If the two of them unite and become a family, wouldn't they be emptied of their duties? danger.

This principle is obvious, and it is a taboo wherever it is placed.

It would be fine if the two were disciples of the sect, at most it would be a danger of seizing power for the principal, but the two were recruiting casual cultivators, and their natures were completely different.

He, Zheng Wei, has been around for so long, and he doesn't even know about this?Or knowingly committing a crime?Do you think that you have made great achievements through hard work, have a high position and weight, and you can't leave him?

"Where's Xu Qingwan? What's your attitude?" Tangning believed that Du Yuankai would not turn a blind eye to this matter and just sit back and watch. She must have prepared countermeasures.

"She doesn't have that kind of thought, brother Zheng has a hot face and a cold ass!" Du Yuankai said with a smile: "Junior Tang, you might as well think about it. You are a beautiful man and a beautiful woman. Fellow Daoist Xu Qingwan is here with us, but it has aroused many people's souls. Dreaming around, making them fascinated and tickled."

"I think she has a good attitude towards you, and she has a good impression of you. If you two can succeed, on the one hand, you will embrace a beautiful woman, and I don't know how many people you will be envious of. It's not a bad match for her to match you with her foundation-building stage cultivation. On the other hand, It is beneficial to the development of your intelligence work and reduces the many troubles, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone, isn't it beautiful!"

Many troubles naturally refer to Zheng Wei's admiration for him.

Tangning shook her head, "I'm married."

"A man with three wives and four concubines is nothing more than a matter of leisure, why worry about it?"

Tangning didn't want to get entangled in this matter, instead she asked, "What kind of family background does Zheng Wei come from? How did you recruit him?"

Du Yuankai said: "He was originally the son of the Zheng family in Qingtian County, Jiangdong. His family has been selling cloth for generations. Up to his father's generation, Zheng's fabrics are quite famous in Jiangdong. When he was young, he was spotted by a casual cultivator named Wu Xuan. , accept him as a disciple, teach him the art of cultivation, and lead him into the path of cultivation."

"This Wu Xuan is a descendant of the Wu family in South China. His family was in decline. Later, the family was annexed, and he himself became a casual cultivator. He has an ancestral spiritual weapon in his body, which was known by the disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect, so he wanted to seize the spiritual weapon. Hunt him down."

"Wu Xuan handed over the spirit weapon to Zheng Wei, Zheng Wei escaped, and the disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect slaughtered his whole family in order to force him to show up."

"Zheng Wei was determined to take revenge. He sold the spirit weapon, bought the elixir, and practiced in the deep mountains for more than ten years. He reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. He was trapped by a bottleneck, so he went out of the mountain."

"Afterwards, the whole world sought revenge from the Corpse Puppet Sect. He killed two disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect. The disciples of the South China Intelligence Point knew about this and recommended him to this site."

Tangning nodded and said, "Where's Xu Qingwan? How did you recruit her?"

"She was recommended by disciples of the Jiangdong intelligence point. She killed a disciple of the Corpse Puppet Sect in Xuanyuan County, Jiangdong. We investigated her life experience. Although she has no deep hatred with the Corpse Puppet Sect, she has no contact. North..." Du Yuankai told her life experience in Jingbei one by one.

Tangning already knew about those people, and asked, "Why did she kill that corpse puppet sect disciple?"

"She said it was because the disciple of the Corpse Puppet Sect wanted to do something wrong to her, and she took advantage of his unpreparedness to kill him."

"Just because she killed a disciple of the Corpse Puppet Sect, is it too hasty to recruit her? Don't you worry that she is a secret agent of the Demon Sect and deliberately staged a play?"

"Of course we also suspected it. After investigating her background, we judged that she should have no relationship with the Mozong. In addition, the Jiangdong disciple frequently recommended her, so we let her enter this site."

"Frequently recommended? Why do you recommend such a not-so-ideal candidate so many times?"

"Why else?" Du Yuankai said with a smile: "I have a crush on her, and if I want to get close to the water, I will get the moon first. The Jiangdong disciple recommended her to be his deputy, but I rejected it."

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as the following disciples' admiration! Is senior brother Du indifferent?" Tangning said.

Of course, he didn't fully believe Du Yuankai's words. The chief had absolute power over personnel affairs. Without his nodding his approval, it would be useless for the following disciples to go to hell.

And he can agree to join such an unsatisfactory candidate, it is really unreasonable to have no selfishness.

Du Yuankai laughed: "To be honest, I really thought about her when I first met her. With her appearance, no one can't help but be moved, so I agreed with the heat of my head."

"After several contacts, I found that this person is not simple. Coupled with her indifferent attitude, I gradually lost my mind."

"Although Du is not a hero, he doesn't bother to use power to force others, and I have a heavy burden on me, so I can't make things wrong for a woman. After she builds her foundation, that thought will disappear."

"She has always been here with an indifferent demeanor for decades, making people daunting, but she is kind and pleasing to you. I think she has a good impression, Junior Brother Tang, don't miss this opportunity!"

Tangning smiled without saying a word, but thought about it in her heart.

He knew that this woman was quite tolerant and good at disguising.Back then, he was able to hide the enemy's family in Jingbei for more than [-] years, and gained Xu Qingxian's trust, which shows how delicate his thoughts are.

He has sympathy and admiration for this woman, but public affairs are public affairs, and private affairs are private. Now that he is taking over as the head of the intelligence station, he has to be wary of such an important person.

Between Zheng Wei and Xu Qingwan, he had more doubts about Xu Qingwan.

"Junior Brother Tang, don't worry too much. If the two of them had problems, something serious would have happened long ago, and they wouldn't have lived peacefully for so many years." Du Yuankai seemed to see through his worries, and comforted him.

"For them, you just need to hold on to the power of personnel and finance in your hand. Also, prevent them from getting too close. All the personnel information on this site is with fellow Taoist Xu Qingwan. If you want to know their situation, you can directly contact her That's it."

Tangning nodded slightly.

...............

The vast Luoshiling in the west of the Central Plains stretches for tens of miles, and the surrounding area is barren. It is midsummer, and the stones are flowing with gold, and the ground is steaming upwards visible to the naked eye.

Hundreds of big naked men were digging against the brown barren mountain with shovels and other hoes.

This Luoshiling produces a kind of ore called brown xuan stone, which is an excellent material for refining shields, mysterious bells and other defensive instruments. A pound of brown xuan stone can be sold for as high as ten spirit stones in the market.

Thirty miles away from the place where the big men work, there is an attic with carved beams and painted buildings, which looks so abrupt in this barren land where not a single blade of grass grows.

A handsome man with five senses on the main seat frequently toasted with the people below, drinking happily, with a drunken look on his face.

"Brother Ding, it takes a lot of money to accept your many banquets. In the future, my younger brother will be the host. I hope Brother Ding will reward you." A person below said
"Why do we brothers care about this?" The man picked up a glass of wine and drank it down, muttering: "If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will be sad tomorrow. Brother Yuan, does this wine still suit your wishes?"

"Wang Xichuan Lingjiu is well-deserved. I heard that a jar of [-] spirit stones is required. Brother Ding has not drunk it before. This time, thanks to Brother Ding, Brother Ding spent a lot of money. It's a pity! The fly in the ointment is such a good wine. A beautiful woman will accompany you."

"Brother Ding is the son-in-law of Zhu's family riding a dragon. A few jars of wine are just a drop in the bucket. No one in the Central Plains knows that Brother Ding donates money with righteousness, and his righteousness is worthless. It's just this beautiful woman for company! I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill my wish. Brother Ding has a beautiful wife in his family, so how could he return it?" You have to show mercy to her." Another person said

The man said loudly: "Who said I can't be merciful to her? A man has three wives and four concubines. It's been the principle since ancient times. If I want to raise a beautiful wife and beautiful concubine, who would dare to stop me from doing so? Next time I will take you brothers to visit Xichuan to play Fuck, who dares to say no?"

"it is good."

"Brother Ding is so proud, he is really a man."

The crowd cheered loudly.

Before the words were finished, a flash of light came from outside the door, and a middle-aged man appeared, with a tiger body and a tiger waist, swallow jaw and tiger beard, and he was not angry and majestic.

When everyone saw him coming, there was an instant silence in the building, and the drop of a needle could be heard.

"Get the hell out of here." The middle-aged man stared at the man in the seat without even looking at the crowd.
