Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 263

Du Yuankai said: "Brother Zheng! I've wanted to talk to you about this for a long time. It's okay that you have a crush on Fellow Daoist Xu. The problem is the identities of the two of you. You should be clear about it. You were recruited and promoted by me, so naturally I don't like you." suspect you."

"But Junior Brother Tang, he is new here, and the two of you are neither promoted by him nor disciples of the sect. If you really get mixed up, how can he not be suspicious? You can't be careless about this!"

Zheng Wei remained silent, and after a long time said: "If Wan'er is willing, I can resign from this position and only cooperate with her in handling financial and internal affairs."

"You resigned, who can take over?"

"As soon as other people on this site step into Foundation Establishment, I will voluntarily resign from this position."

Du Yuankai said slowly: "Brother Zheng, there is something I would like to ask you to help with. It may be difficult for you. I wonder if you would like to?"

"Why did Du Xian make such a statement? Without your support and care, I would not be where I am today. Once I am ordered, I dare not refuse to obey."

"Okay, it's actually not a big deal. After I leave, you help me keep an eye on someone at the intelligence station."

"Who? Envoy Du Xian suspects that we have secret operations inside?"

"Junior Brother Tangning."

"What?" Zheng Wei was shocked: "What does Du Xianshi mean? Please explain clearly."

"I need some clues about him, do you understand? You don't have to do anything, just keep an eye on it for me, and if you find any violations of the Zongmen's regulations, please let me know immediately."

Zheng Wei's complexion changed several times, uncertain: "Could it be that between Du Xianshi and him..."

"No." Du Yuankai interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "I don't have any personal grievances with him, let me tell you the truth! I did this because I was entrusted by others, and someone above him is very afraid of him."

"Yes? He has a grudge against some people in the noble clan?" Zheng Wei asked in a low voice.

Du Yuankai said: "Things in the sect are not what you think. There is no kindness or hatred, and it is not black and white. The word hatred is far from the word, at most it is just a little difficult to deal with. You know him Why did you transfer from the sect to be the head of this site?"

Zheng Wei shook his head.

"Because some people don't want him to stay in the sect. To put it simply, he is not the next successor of the intelligence department we want. I told you last time that many uncles in this sect appreciate him. There is another sentence below, which was not said at the time, but I will tell you now that there are many uncles in this sect who hate him."

"I understand." Zheng Wei nodded and said, Du Yuankai said that for this sake, he could not refuse.

He understands that at this point, he has become a pawn in their internal struggle, and he has no right to choose, otherwise there will be no room for him.

Du Yuankai said: "We are doing this just to guard against inevitability. He doesn't have this ability yet, but he is a very threatening potential opponent. If you can help us grasp some clues about him, it will come in handy when the day comes. "

"What kind of loopholes are needed to threaten a monk of his level, please let me ask Du Xianshi to express it."

"Of course it can't be trivial things like funds and spirit stones. If you want to attract the attention of the high-level sect, it must be of a serious nature, such as people or intelligence. Do you understand?"

"What if he doesn't have this flaw?"

Du Yuankai smiled: "There is no time in life when you are careless, you just have to keep an eye on it. After years of downloading, there will always be some small mistakes."

"Yes, I see."

"You know this and I know it, don't tell anyone."

"clear."

The two discussed in the room for a long time, Zheng Wei left the room, came to Xu Qingwan's door, and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A cold voice came from inside.

Zheng Wei pushed the door open and entered.

"Brother Zheng, you're here, what's the matter?" Xu Qingwan sat cross-legged on the futon, her expression neither cold nor indifferent.

"I'm leaving, and I'm here to say goodbye to you."

"En." Xu Qingwan responded.

The atmosphere was a bit cold, Zheng Wei didn't know what to say for a while, and he was silent for a while, "I heard that you and Tang Xianshi are old friends, and he is about to take over the post of head of the intelligence station. From now on, you and I will be under his command. What do you think man?"

"good."

"Just now I chatted with Du Xianshi for a while, and from what he said, this Tangning seems to be quite afraid of us. Wan'er, if you want, I will resign from my current position immediately and help you take care of the financial and internal affairs, okay? "

Xu Qingwan said silently: "Brother Zheng, since I entered this site, I have received much care from you, and I owe you a life-saving grace. However, I really have no intention of men and women. I hope you will not say anything in the future. If you have something I will do my best to repay you.”

Zheng Wei smiled wryly: "What can I need? I just... want you well, if you want, I can do whatever you want."

Xu Qingwan shook her head and said: "It's not worth it, you don't know, I used to..."

"I don't care." Zheng Wei interrupted: "I don't care what happened to you in the past. I just know that ever since I saw you for the first time, I have been thinking about you day and night, and I can't extricate myself. I feel like a walking dead, until I met you, I even lost my desire for revenge."

Xu Qingwan remained silent.

Zheng Wei continued: "I am not forcing you, nor am I trying to repay you with kindness. I am just expressing my heart. I hope you don't misunderstand. I don't expect you to agree immediately. I have plenty of time to wait. I will leave first."

It wasn't until he left that Xu Qingwan sighed slightly.

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

The city of Bianjing is full of traffic and crowds come and go, creating a prosperous scene.

Eighty miles to the west of the city, inside a Taoist temple, Tang Ning fell to the ground and walked straight in.

"Hey, it's the temple master's practice place inside, you can't go in." Inside the Taoist temple, several men who looked like Taoists stopped him.

Tangning didn't care about it at all, and went all the way to the main hall, pushing the door open and entering.

In the hall, a man with a broad forehead and a broad face was sitting cross-legged on the ground. When he saw him walk in, his face changed, and he shouted away all the Taoists. Jishou said, "I don't know why senior came to this temple?"

Tangning didn't talk nonsense, she flipped her left hand and took out the token and handed it to him.

The man took the token, swept his consciousness, and immediately bowed respectfully: "It turns out that it is Senior Tang of Shangzong, and my junior is Ma Yingyuan, the intelligence station in the eastern part of Bianjing. I wonder if Senior Tang has any orders for his visit?"

"Let Fan Shang come to see me, I'll wait for him here."

"Yes." Ma Yingyuan replied, and walked out of the hall quickly.

Tangning sat cross-legged. About two hours later, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes pushed open the door and entered, bowed and saluted: "Disciple Fan Shang has met Master Tang."

"Fan Shang, Bianjing City is within the monitoring range of your intelligence station. Let me ask you, in recent years, there have been many strange incidents of children missing inside and outside Bianjing City. Why didn't you report it?"

"Uncle Master, the information station is only responsible for the affairs of the spiritual world. Children in Bianjing City have been missing frequently. Although I have heard about it, this is a matter of the secular world. It is not under our jurisdiction, so naturally there is no need to report it."

"Do you think this is the work of ordinary people? How much do you know about it?"

"The disciple has never seriously investigated this matter, but only heard that it seems to be related to the Eastern Palace of Chu State."

"Prince East Palace? Is it within your monitoring range?"

"exist."

"Immediately go through the file, look up the note information, and investigate the matter clearly."

"Yes." Fan Shang replied, hesitating for a while: "Master Uncle, here, the department stipulates..."

Tangning flipped her hand, took out a document, and threw it to him, "This is the authorization document from Senior Brother Lu. All intelligence stations in Bianjing will assist me in investigating this matter."

"Yes, the disciple will investigate immediately." Fan Shang took the document and withdrew.

Tang Ning also came out of the hall, turned into a light and went straight, and not long after, she came to a silver shop in Bianjing City.

"Guest officer, what goods do you need?" asked the fat shopkeeper
"You are Wang Xianfang?" Tangning handed him the sect token.

The shopkeeper saw it, and hurriedly closed the shop door, and said in a low voice, "Your junior, how have you ever heard of Senior Tang?"

"Where is Wang Xianfang? Where is he?"

"It's in the backyard, senior, please follow me." He Wen led him through the inner hall to a room in the backyard.

Inside, a man with a fair complexion sat cross-legged. When he noticed the two people coming, he opened his eyes: "Who is it?"

"It's Senior Tang, Emperor Guizong, who is here." He Wen said
Tangning pushed the door open and entered, "Are you Wang Xianfang?"

"Disciple Wang Xianfang has met Master Tang." Wang Xianfang hurriedly stood up and saluted
"I came here to investigate the disappearance of our disciple Xie Zhuang. How did he disappear? Tell me everything you know."

Wang Xianfang said: "Yes, in Bianjing City in recent years, boys and girls have disappeared for no reason. This matter has long been known to everyone. I didn't take it seriously until the incident became more and more troublesome. Sometimes as many as ten families disappeared in one month, and most of them went missing. It’s missing at the full moon.”

"Because of this, the disciple suspected that someone was using boys and girls to practice some kind of crooked kungfu, so he wrote a file to report the matter."

"Last month, I got approval from my uncle to investigate this matter. This disciple came to Xie Zhuang and entrusted him with this task. Ten days ago, it was time for contact, but I didn't see him, so I hurriedly reported to my uncle and transferred point of contact."

Tang Ning said, "In other words, you don't know where he was found or where he disappeared. What aspect was this Xie Zhuang in charge of?"

"He has always been in charge of liaising with the insiders of the Feng family."

"What do you think about this?"

Wang Xianfang said: "I think the other party's identity is most likely a casual cultivator. He must not have obtained a complete inheritance. He must have practiced some sorcery and stumbled onto the road of cultivation by mistake. If he is a disciple of the Demon Sect, there is no need to go to Bianjing. Catch boys and girls to practice exercises, and they have a complete inheritance of exercises, so they will not practice this sorcery."

"Let's use ordinary people to practice the exercises. Presumably, the cultivation is not very advanced, and the exercises may be a little weird. This may be the reason why Xie Zhuang disappeared and suffered from his murderous hands."

Tangning asked, "What clues are there for those missing children?"

"They are all children from ordinary families, nothing special. After being taken away, there is no trace."

Tangning nodded, "I understand. You don't have to worry about this matter. You should contact him as soon as possible."

"Yes, I met him the day before yesterday."
