Chapter 135 Situation
The moon rises in the east. In a cave on the third knuckle of the middle finger peak, Lu Xingxian sits cross-legged on a futon. He hears the words of the man opposite him and opens his eyes: "Is that all?"
The man said: "This is his entire resume. However, just now, Senior Brother Luo brought him into his cave and stayed there for about half an hour. I wonder what was discussed?"
Lu Xingxian sneered a few times, with a look of disdain on his face: "Junior Brother Zhu, Junior Brother Luo's methods are getting worse and worse. A Qi Refining disciple is not worthy of such a troublesome arrangement."
The man hesitated for a while and said, "I heard that Uncle Luo and Uncle Shi had a fierce quarrel yesterday at Qianxing Hall. I wonder how the higher-ups will deal with it about Senior Brother Xue?"
Lu Xingxian shook his head and said: "What he did went too far. He was caught red-handed by the secret security department, and both the people and the stolen goods were taken away. The matter was quite a mess. There is no way to escape punishment. No one can protect him. I just don't know who will take the responsibility." Get into his position."
The two of them whispered about unknown secrets.
After Tang Ning came back from Kong Fanxing's place that night, she went to Cao Zhengxian's residence every day to seek advice. There were quite a few rules in the intelligence department.
For example, when you go out to perform tasks, you can communicate with passwords, contact information, pattern marks that convey different information, and so on. Each has its own method.
Cao Zhengxian only gave him a general explanation, and gave him a few more jade slips, which contained many typical cases from the former Intelligence Department, and asked him to read more.
The rotation is every few months, and everyone in the team except Cao Zhengxian is on duty.
Time passed by, and it was more than two years ago. While watching indifferently, Tang Ning also gained some understanding of the personnel of the Intelligence Department.
There are two main factions in the Ministry, one is dominated by deacon Lu Xingxian, and the other is dominated by Zhu Xu and Kong Fanxing.
Although Kong Fanxing is only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he is the core leader in their circle. His status is higher than that of Zhu Xu. Because he is the inspector of the Intelligence Department, he has great power and can almost compete with Lu Xingxian. .
So that day in the Zhongzhi Peak meeting hall, Kong Fanxing asked him to be included in the aircraft rescue team, and Lu Xingxian agreed immediately. There was no need to make things look bad for such trivial matters.
Tang Ning has been working at Zhongzhi Peak for two months. She has heard their discussions several times and can see that although the two parties are at odds with each other and have some conflicts with each other, they are in a state of fighting but not breaking up. Basically, who owns the people and manages them themselves. , the other side doesn’t interfere very much.
As for why Inspector Kong Fanxing was qualified to compete with Lu Xingxian, Tang Ning found out after asking around.
It turns out that this inspector was not appointed by Qingxuan Palace. Although he served in the Intelligence Department, he was directly under the Supervision Department of Xuande Palace. This is the system and regulations of Xuande Palace. Xuande Palace is in charge of punishment. There are inspectors in many important departments. The purpose of this position is to supervise the deacons of the department.
This is a bit like a general who leads an army on an expedition in the secular world. There is always an official who is like a supervisor around him to prevent him from abusing his power and leading his troops to rebel.
Tangning was naturally classified into Kong Fanxing's faction. From the moment he joined the Intelligence Department, he had no right to make his own choices. No one would listen to his arguments, and he was unable to argue.
Fortunately, his sense of existence was low, and no one came to target him. It took him a year to understand that the purpose of Kong Fanxing's request to go to his cave that night was not the content of the conversation, but the form. .
It's similar to how grass bandits worship at the top of a mountain and tell the leaders of the other hills that these are my people.
On this day, Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the wooden house. He opened his eyes from trance and saw the little white snake playing on his arm. Tang Ning turned his left hand and took out a Qi Condensing Pill from the storage bag. The little white snake jumped up and took it.
It swallowed it. Tang Ning stroked its little head, and the little white snake got into the spirit beast bag.
In the past six months, for some unknown reason, the little white snake has developed an appetite. It stopped eating the original Qi-nourishing pills and started taking Qi-condensing pills, sometimes two pills a day.
Tang Ning originally thought that it had advanced and he didn't understand the way of spiritual beasts at all, but seeing that it had a big appetite, she thought that it was like a monk and had improved its cultivation.
But if you look closely, you will see that it is still the same, its appearance has not changed, and there is no trace of spiritual power on its body. It is really strange. If it likes to eat yourself, of course you will give it to it. It doesn't cost much anyway, so this little spiritual stone is trivial.
There are plenty of spiritual stones in his storage bag. Originally, he didn't have many spiritual stones, only a few thousand.
But before Liu Ruhan left, she gave him her "property", making him suddenly rich. When Liu Ruhan escaped from the sect, she had no intention of going back, so she naturally took all her "property" with her. Later, she sensed that her master was chasing her.
He gave him all the items he needed in the storage bag.
Among them are her belongings over the years, twenty-seven high-grade spiritual stones, all given by her master.
Naturally, Tang Ning took her things with peace of mind. Apart from anything else, he was really short of spiritual stones. It was essential to practice a pill. Although he could use the green aura in his body to catalyze the spiritual medicine to earn spiritual stones, he still needed it.
It takes a lot of time.
The elixir that can be catalyzed in about one year is resold and the elixir can be used for four years, and you have to bear a lot of risks.
Tang Ning left the wooden house and went straight to Kong Fanxing's cave. With a flip of his left hand, a transmission note drifted in through the thick fog in front of the house. After a while, the thick fog in front of him rolled up, making way for a path, and he walked in.
Pass through the thick fog, enter the cave, and arrive at Kong Fanxing's main room.
"You're here." Kong Fanxing said as he sat cross-legged on the futon.
"I wonder why Uncle Kong is calling his disciples?" Tang Ning bowed. At noon today, Kong Fanxing sent someone to send a message to him to come over at night and give him some instructions.
"You have been in the Intelligence Department for two years, right?"
"Yes, more than two years and three months."
Kong Fanxing nodded: "Originally, I asked you to know more about our Intelligence Department. You almost know it already!"
"yes."
"Then make preparations and set off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to lead the disciples of the aircraft support team to Bianjing."
Tang Ning was slightly surprised: "Disciple leader? Shouldn't Senior Brother Cao be the one to hold this position?"
"He has applied to prepare for foundation construction a few days ago. According to the sect's regulations, he is exempted from all chores. Now that you have the highest cultivation level among the aircraft rescue team, you will naturally lead the team."
Tang Ning hesitated and said, "But this disciple has just arrived and has little prestige. He only has a partial understanding of the affairs of the Intelligence Department. Uncle Lu is afraid..."
Kong Fanxing smiled and said: "Brother Lu, don't worry. Tomorrow will be the meeting, and I will recommend you to him as the team leader. It is precisely because you are new here and don't have much prestige, so you have to go down to practice and accumulate merit."
.Senior Nephew Cao will no longer be in charge of department affairs in the next few years. I will recommend you to Senior Brother Lu to manage the air support team. If you do this better, he won't say anything."
Tang Ning understood what Kong Fanxing meant: "I wonder what you are going to do in Bianjing this time?"
"Two disciples from the fifth team were collecting information about the Demon Sect in Bianjing City. They disappeared half a month ago and were later confirmed to have been killed. The fifth team is temporarily unable to deploy personnel. Your aircraft rescue team will send people to support them in investigating the cause. Waiting for discussion After that, the file will be handed over to you."
"Yes, disciple knows."
"Well, you go ahead!"
Tang Ning left Zhongzhi Peak and returned to the room. She lay on the wooden bed and stared at the roof in a daze. The Intelligence Department had its own intelligence system. The State of Chu was the border of the Qianyi Sect, and Bianjing was the capital of the State of Chu. The defense and surveillance were even tighter.
Now two disciples have been killed silently, and the disciples who can carry out tasks alone are all of high cultivation. I am afraid this matter is not simple.
On the second day, people gradually arrived in the Zhongzhi Peak Meeting Hall.
According to the rules of the Intelligence Division, if there is no urgent matter, a meeting will be held every ten days.
Lu Xingxian was sitting in the main seat. When he saw that several people had arrived, he said: "All the junior brothers are here. Let's start the discussion. Let's talk about the first thing. I just received the news yesterday that two disciples from the fifth team, Zhou Hua, Shen Xingshi was killed while investigating the Demon Sect in Bianjing. I discussed this matter with Junior Brother Kong yesterday, and now we will discuss how to handle it in the future!"
When several people heard the news and were thinking about it, Kong Fanxing said first: "I think we must first figure out the cause and effect of this matter. Currently, the fifth team cannot send more people. We should recruit people from the aircraft rescue team to find out the two disciples." The truth about his death, and considering that Senior Nephew Cao has applied to prepare for foundation construction a few days ago, I suggest that Senior Nephew Tang Ning be the leader of the team this time."
"Tang Ning's nephew should be the team leader? I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" A man frowned.
Kong Fanxing looked at him: "Junior Brother Chen, what are your suggestions?"
The man said: "This Tangning, if I remember correctly, was transferred to our intelligence department two years ago. One may not be very clear about the process of the following affairs, the other has no experience in handling this matter, and the three are all He doesn't know many of the people under the department, and they are unfamiliar with the place. I think it is more appropriate to choose an experienced and seasoned disciple as the team leader. Since Master Nephew Cao has applied to prepare for foundation building, Ma Yu from the aircraft rescue team is not low in cultivation and has a lot of experience. I think I’m good enough to take on the role of team leader.”
Kong Fanxing smiled and said: "Junior Brother Chen is worried for a reason. It is precisely because he is not familiar with everything that we let him go out to train and perform a few more tasks. Wouldn't he be familiar with the business process? As for his strength, I want to know the intelligence There should be no one in the team who can surpass him. His wonderful magic and magical powers have even been praised by the masters. If he hadn't taken the initiative to withdraw from the competition last time, the person who won the championship may not be known yet. Then Chen Xuan of Qingxuan Palace Unable to reach his defeated opponent, Xiao Bi won the third place and was still used as highly as Qingxuan Palace. It is a well-known fact that Tang Junior Nephew is stronger than him. Even being the leader of Xiao Bi is questioned, and people may laugh at us. I don’t know how to understand gold and jade.”
Before the man surnamed Chen could say anything, Lu Xingxian said: "According to Junior Brother Kong's words, the aircraft rescue team will go to Bianjing to investigate the cause of the matter."
He is the deacon of the Intelligence Section and has the final decision-making power. Matters are settled as soon as he opens his mouth.
Chapter completed!
