Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 301 Dismissal
"Okay! I'm afraid he won't give in." Du Yuankai said

Lu Xingxian snorted coldly: "If you're really so stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless. Don't think that now that the wings are hardened, you can be unscrupulous. The sect can run as well without someone, and the department is not without him. After all, I am still the deacon of the headquarters and have the right to transfer him."

Du Yuankai bid farewell and left, left the sect the next day, traveled for a day or two, and arrived at Qianjun Mountain, where he escaped into the mountains and forests.

Seeing him, the inspecting disciple guarding the secret post immediately went forward to salute: "Disciple pays homage to Master Uncle Du."

"Take me to see Junior Brother Tang."

"Yes." The disciple replied, leading him to the basement.

Tangning was sitting cross-legged in the room when Du Yuankai's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Junior Brother Tang, it's me."

He opened his eyes, put away the mother-of-pearl clam on the stone table, and went out to welcome him: "Senior Brother Du, why did you come here today, please come in quickly."

"I was ordered to track down the clues of the Demon Sect. I passed by here, so I came to take a look. I have never been here since you moved here." Du Yuankai said, walked into the house, heard a hissing sound, and stared at it, but Seeing the little white snake in the corner curled up into a ball, raised its head, stared at him with dark green eyes, stuck out its scarlet tongue, as if attacking.

Du Yuankai was taken aback for a moment, only to feel a chill welling up all over his body, and he felt a little creepy.

Tangning stepped forward and stroked the little white snake's head to comfort it.

Although the two had been together for a while, Little White Snake had never met him. Seeing Qimao rushing into his own territory, he issued a warning.

"Senior Brother Du, please sit down."

Du Yuankai took his seat according to his words: "This is the spirit beast that caused the vision of the heavens and the earth when I saw it today! I saw it today, and it was born mighty and majestic. Just looking at its appearance, you can tell that it is extraordinary. No wonder it can attract the visions of the heavens and the earth. "

Tang Ning said: "In the past, I always hid it in the spirit beast bag. Since it entered the stage, its body has grown so much that it doesn't like to stay in that narrow place. It usually sleeps in the house when there is nothing to do."

Du Yuankai said: "Some time ago, Junior Brother Qiu Yuan from the Spiritual Animal Husbandry Department returned to the sect and went to your cave to look for you. He happened to meet me and talked to me about the rhinoceros ant. It turns out that he came back from South China and found the rhinoceros The ant nest is at the bottom of Changliu Lake, where there are only many corpses of rhinoceros ants, but nothing else."

"He said that the rhinoceros ant is a gregarious species, and its egg-laying shell must be more than one. I think you should have a lot of them. I want to buy an ant egg from you to raise it. He asked me to talk to you when I see it. I don't know what you think. how?"

Hearing what he said, Tangning knew that he must have come here as a lobbyist for Lu Xingxian, and the purpose was still her own rhinoceros egg ants.Immediately, he frowned and replied: "Oh? There is such a thing? I don't know. I got this ant egg from a deep mountain forest. I will stop this one and tell Senior Brother Qiu to find another way."

Du Yuankai was silent for a while and said: "I heard that the intelligence station is short of funds, and I have applied to the sect for a subsidy of spirit stones. After I found out about this, I specially went to Senior Brother Lu to make a statement on behalf of the intelligence station, explaining the difficulties. Brother Lu is still hesitating. "

"Thank you, Senior Brother Du, for your kind words. You know the situation of the intelligence station best. With the Zongmen's funds alone, you can barely support it at most. Without the Zongmen Lingshi subsidy, it is really difficult to carry out intelligence matters."

"I also know about this matter, so I tried my best to report it to Senior Brother Lu, but in my opinion, Senior Brother Lu may still be concerned about the incident last time."

"Senior Brother Du, he is still thinking about my ant egg? If you don't hand over the ant egg to him, won't you approve the intelligence station's Lingshi subsidy?"

Du Yuankai said: "Brother Lu is partial to spirit beasts, and he has been unable to ask for it for many years. Brother Tang, why don't you cherish an ant egg, so why not let him do what he wants, after all, he is the deacon of our department, and it is better to be friendly with him than to be hostile." .”

Tangning said, "It's not my pity. I really only have this one ant egg, and I have made a contract with it. Even if I hand it over to Senior Brother Lu, it will be useless. If he is concerned about it, there is nothing I can do about it."

Du Yuankai sighed: "Don't make such a fuss! Rhinoceros ants are a rare species, but they live in groups. Only in groups can they show their power. What's the use of one or two alone? Junior Brother Tang angered Senior Brother Lu for this, and in my humble opinion, stealing is something that Junior Brother doesn’t take, it’s a matter of severity or severity, it just depends on how to choose.”

"Abandoning hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones for the sake of an ant egg is something that a wise man would not do. I hope Junior Brother Tang will think twice. Let me tell you the truth! I have found out what Brother Lu said, as long as my junior brother is willing to donate an ant egg, It doesn't matter even if you make a contract, he will never make it difficult for you in terms of Lingshi subsidy in the future."

Tang Ning said, "Please tell Brother Lu, I really can't help you with this matter."

"Since Junior Brother Tang has made up his mind, I won't repeat it."

The two talked for a long time about other matters. Du Yuankai stood up and said goodbye. After leaving the intelligence station, he returned to the sect and faithfully interpreted Tangning's attitude to Lu Xingxian.

Lu Xingxian was silent after listening to his narration.

A few days later, the dossier was sent back to the intelligence station.

Kong Ji pushed open the door of Tangning's room, and handed him the file in his hand, "Uncle Tang, the file approved by the sect has rejected the application for Lingshi subsidy."

Tang Ning took a look at it, and saw that it said: Due to the financial reduction of the Zongmen, the intelligence department's funds exceeded the budget, and the application for Lingshi from the Silver Fox Intelligence Station was rejected.

And it was stamped with Lu Xingxian's signature and stamp and the seal of the Intelligence Department.

"I see, you go! Ask Fellow Daoist Xu to come over."

Kong Ji silently withdrew.

Not long after, Xu Qingwan came.

Tangning handed her the Zongmen's reply file: "The Zongmen has rejected our application for subsidies. From now on, the spirit stone funds only guarantee the salary of the disciples, and all other spirit stone funds for instigating rebellion, lurking, and spying on information will be cancelled."

"Okay." Xu Qingwan nodded and exited the room.

………………

In Beiyuan, in front of a dilapidated ancient temple, a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks came down with his sword, looked around vigilantly, and pushed the door open.

Inside, there was already a burly man waiting for him: "How is it? Have you made contact with him?"

"I've successfully hooked up with him, and he took the initiative to invite me to drink at Moonlight Pavilion tomorrow."

"Okay, let's implement the second step of the plan. I will arrange a gamble for you, let him taste the sweetness first, and completely trust you."

"Understood, it's just that I'm very tight right now, and I need some spirit stones to get closer to him."

"You don't have to worry about this. I have sent a letter to the station to apply for two thousand spirit stone funds, and someone will send it in a few days."

"That's good, I have a plan, I can teach him to die without a place to bury, so I have to cooperate with us..." The two discussed for a long time, and then dispersed.

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

In South China, between a valley, two men are plotting something.

One person said: "Just as I planned, Jia Yun has already taken the bait, and he is so fascinated by that woman that he just waits for us to finally draw the line."

"Be careful, don't go wrong, what's your problem there?"

"The woman asked for five hundred spirit stones."

"There is no problem with this. I will send a message to the station immediately. The Jia family has always been one of the families that we have not infiltrated. If we can succeed this time, the reward is indispensable."

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

Xuan Ying switched heads on Qianjun Mountain, heard a whistle, swooped down, landed beside a man, and spit out the folded file in his mouth.

The man took the file, patted it on the head, and the black eagle spread its wings and left.

Inside the intelligence station, Kong Ji came to Xu Qingwan's room with the file and knocked on the door: "Senior Xu, it's me."

"come in!"

Kong Ji pushed the door open and handed the file to her: "This is the file sent by the disciples of the Beiyuan Information Center, asking for two thousand spirit stones."

Xu Qingwan said: "A few days ago, Tang Immortal Envoy warned me that all intelligence funds will be cancelled, except for the disciple's salary. Please reply to them!"

Kong Ji frowned slightly: "But this is a very important plan, and Mr. Tang is also very concerned about it. If there is no funding for the spirit stone, the previous work will be wasted."

"You go and talk to him yourself about this matter, and if he agrees, come to me again."

Kong Ji had no choice but to come to Tangning to ask for instructions, "Master Tang, Junior Brother Zuo has contacted Jin Guang and now needs [-] spirit stones. I asked Uncle Xu, and she said that all intelligence funds will be cancelled. What do you think?"

"Well, that's what I said. From now on, you don't need to look for her or me for these matters. Just reply directly. From now on, all applications for intelligence funds will be frozen and will no longer be approved."

"But, if this is the case, many things may be unsustainable. Without the funds for Lingshi, the disciples at various intelligence points will inevitably complain and deal with it passively."

Tangning glanced at him, "Is this something you should be concerned about? Do as I tell you."

"Yes."

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

In a Taoist temple in the west of Huangfen County, Central Plains, a man came to the hall with a dossier and handed it to Zheng Wei: "The application for the spirit stone from Qinchuan Information Point has been rejected again."

Zheng Wei frowned and remained silent.

"This is the eighth application for Lingshi funding that has been rejected. If this continues, all intelligence points may have to stop operating, and the following disciples don't know what happened. There is a lot of resentment for the rejection of their Lingshi application. "Senior Zheng, I think it's better for you to go there yourself, at least find out the situation." The man said

"If that's the case, then I'll go and ask about the situation." Zheng Wei said, went out of the palace gate, turned into a light and went straight to the Qianjun Mountain Intelligence Station, first went to see Xu Qingwan.

"Brother Zheng, you're here." Xu Qingwan greeted him at the door.

Zheng Wei entered the room, somewhat at a loss, silent for a while and said: "Don't mind what happened last time, I misunderstood."

"No. I never cared."

"I'm here this time about the funding for the Lingshi. What happened? Why were all the funding applications for the information points suddenly rejected, and the disciples below are talking about it."

Xu Qingwan hesitated for a while and said, "It's the conflict between Tang Immortal Envoy and Gan Yizong."

"Oh? Why is that?" Zheng Wei's expression changed. He knew that Tang Ning had disagreements with some people above him, and he didn't expect that something would happen so soon.

"I don't know why. Since the Tang Immortal envoy returned to the Shangzong to receive the Lingshi funds last time, he was very unhappy when he came back. This time, the application for the Lingshi subsidy was rejected by the Shangzong, so he ordered that all applications for funds under the intelligence station Cancel."
