Chapter 295 Coercion
Speaking of this, Lu Xingxian's meaning was very clear. He already knew the origin of the ant eggs.
Tang Ning was slightly frightened, not because he knew the details of Ant Egg. As the head of the intelligence department, everything he did in South China, including investigating the Yang family and Qi family, would definitely be reported to the local intelligence station.
In addition, he asked Qiu Yuan for advice on the cultivation and hatching of spiritual beasts, but it didn't take a fool to guess the connection.
What surprised him was that those black ants actually ran out of the bottom of Changliu Lake. Why did they suddenly run out after living there for so many years?
He thought for a moment and figured out the key. It seemed that the queen ant died and the ant colony was in chaos. In addition, everything they ate was collected by him, so they swarmed around like headless flies.
This thing is not easy to deal with. There are groups of them. Without more than a dozen foundation-building monks, there is no way they can compete. South China is probably in chaos right now.
Tang Ning's face remained calm: "Is this happening? I have never heard of it."
Lu Xingxian said: "Junior Brother Qiu Yuan got this news and came to the Intelligence Department to find you, saying that you had eggs of this monster in your body. Later, he went to South China in person and has not returned to the sect yet."
Tang Ning said: "It turns out that the egg shell I accidentally picked up is the egg of that monster. It seems that I have to go to South China to see what kind of monster it is, in case the egg shell hatches into a spirit beast in the future, but I don't know
The origin, if spread out, will make people laugh."
"This ant is called a rhinoceros ant. It has a black body and is as strong as steel. It has sharp teeth that can break metal and break stones. It eats anything. Its tentacles on its forehead are extremely large, similar to rhinoceros horns, so it is called rhinoceros ant. It lives in groups.
He is quite famous in the world of spirit beasts." Lu Xingxian said. In fact, he didn't know anything about spirit beasts. What he just said was told to him by Qiu Yuan.
Qiu Yuan had a disciple who was out on business and passed through southern China. He heard the news and told him when he came back.
Based on his disciple's description, Qiu Yuan concluded that it was the monster rhinoceros ant.
He immediately thought of the monster ant egg that Tang Ning asked him to appreciate. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? There were no monsters in Xingang, but now a large number of rhinoceros ants appeared in South China for no reason, and what Tang Ning showed him before was exactly the same thing.
Ant egg shell.
He quickly thought that the ant eggs were the eggs of the Rhinoceros ant, so he came to the Intelligence Department to find Tang Ning. Tang Ning had already left the sect, so he found Lu Xingxian, and after Lu Xingxian asked, he informed him of the matter.
.
After hearing what he said, Lu Xingxian knew that the rhinoceros-armored ant was an extremely rare thing, and he couldn't help but covet it. He wanted to get the ant eggs to cultivate himself. He had already heard that a spiritual beast in Tangning had advanced recently, and even attracted the attention of others.
Come and punish the world with thunder.
It is conceivable that his spiritual beast must be an extremely rare species, so that it can attract divine punishment when it advances. Now that some rhinoceros ant eggs have appeared, how come this kid is allowed to do all the good things alone?
Came across.
He was filled with jealousy and envy. As a deacon of the Information Department, he was not as good as one of his subordinates, which made him resentful and helpless.
Since you have such a rare second-level spiritual beast, you can always hand over this rhinoceros ant egg shell to yourself!
He was not in a hurry, knowing that Tang Ning would return to the sect to collect funds for the intelligence station, so he kept waiting and took the initiative to bring the topic to spiritual beasts, all for the sake of the Rhinoceros Ant eggs.
Tang Ning said: "It turns out to be a rhinoceros ant. When I got the ant egg, there was indeed a black ant corpse next to it. It must be this rhinoceros ant. Thank you, Brother Lu, for letting me know. I'll take my leave."
"Wait a minute." Seeing that he was about to leave, Lu Xingxian said, "Junior brother Tang, do you want to sell these ant eggs? I have practiced the spiritual beasts for many years and have always wanted to have a spiritual beast by my side. But
There is no chance. If Junior Brother Tang has no shortage of spiritual beasts, can he part with his love? I know this thing is rare, and I will not lose Junior Brother in terms of spiritual stones."
"Senior Brother Lu is serious. A mere monster egg is nothing. It's just that I have signed a contract with this ant egg using a secret method. Even if I give it to Senior Brother Lu, it will be useless." Tang Ning said, naturally he would not hand over the ant egg.
Give it to Lu Xingxian. You spent so much money and almost lost your life to get it. How could you give it to others?
"In that case, that's it, go ahead!" Lu Xingxian didn't know the contract method, and Qiu Yuan hadn't told him about it either. He didn't know how to respond, so he could only say this.
"Okay." Tangning responded and left the cave and came to the Department of Finance.
A disciple on duty in the hall was sitting cross-legged and practicing with his eyes closed. When he noticed someone coming, he opened his eyes and saw that it was Tang Ning. He quickly stood up and saluted: "Uncle Tang, what are your orders?"
"Senior Brother Chen Xuan, may I be here?"
"Master Chen is no longer in the palace, do you need any disciples to invite him?"
"Go for it!"
"Yes." The disciple took the order and left.
Not long after, a ray of light went straight into the hall, the light dispersed, and now an old man with a white head appeared, it was Chen Xuan.
"Senior Brother Chen, I'm here to receive funds from this website."
Chen Xuan nodded and took out a storage bag and a diploma certificate in his hand: "This is the funds approved by the sect for your intelligence station. Just sign this article."
Tang Ning took the storage bag, signed and pledged the terms, left the Finance Hall, came to a cave, and handed in a communication note.
The thick fog in front of the mansion dispersed, and he walked to the main room of the cave mansion. An old man with a bright head stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Junior Brother Tang, why are you here?"
This person is none other than Du Yuankai, the former director of the Silver Fox Intelligence Station.
"This time I went back to the sect to collect funds for the intelligence station, and I came here specifically to visit Senior Brother Du."
"Junior brother Tang must not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing! If you have any questions, please speak up." Du Yuankai said with a smile.
Before leaving, this old boy had tricked her and took away the remaining funds from the station. Now that she saw that her face was not red and her heart was not beating, and she was talking and laughing as if nothing had happened, Tangning had to admire his thick skin.
Not to mention that he couldn't do it, even if he did it, he would still feel a little guilty and embarrassed! But looking at him like this, he didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, it seemed as if Tangning had taken advantage of him and asked for help from him.
"It's not a big deal. The station's funds are a bit tight and we can't even pay the disciples' salaries. Daoist friend Xu and I have to return our salaries to every two years. In half a year, the station is going to apply to the sect for a spiritual stone subsidy.
I hope Senior Brother Du can say something kind to Senior Brother Lu. You are an old man from the Silver Fox Information Station and a person whom Senior Brother Lu trusts. I am a soft-spoken person, but your words are always more useful than mine."
"Oh, this is about it!" Du Yuankai said silently.
"Is there something difficult about Senior Brother Du?" Tang Ning frowned slightly. This old boy was too dishonest. He had embezzled the funds of the intelligence station. She didn't argue with him, but she wanted him to say a few fair words, but he was like this.
Buttons and ropes, reluctantly.
Du Yuankai asked back: "Has Junior Brother Tang met Senior Brother Lu?"
"I've seen it before, what's wrong?"
"Didn't he talk to you about anything?"
"What do you mean, Senior Brother Du? Please speak clearly."
"It's just the two of us here. From my mouth to your ears, you might as well open the skylight and talk. Some of the words may not be pleasant to hear. Junior Brother Tang, don't mind if I tell you frankly!"
"Senior Brother Du, please speak."
"I heard that you have successfully advanced a spiritual beast and obtained a monster egg shell in South China. Is this true?"
Tang Ning frowned, and Du Yuankai asked what he meant. He had one or two spiritual beasts nearby, and it was none of their business. Why did everyone come to ask, could he also want to get involved and get the ant eggs?
"Yes, this is indeed the case. What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"As I expected, you got this monster egg from South China. It was obtained when you investigated the Demon Sect monks, right?"
"Yes, I accidentally picked up this egg when I was investigating the demon sect monks in South China. Does this have anything to do with the intelligence station's application for a spiritual stone subsidy? Could it be that just because I obtained this egg, the sect will not provide subsidies to the intelligence station? This is
What’s the point?”
Du Yuankai heard the anger in his words and smiled: "Junior brother Tang, don't be angry. Of course it doesn't matter, but what is a sect? It is not composed of one individual. To be honest, even the sect's laws and regulations are not
It depends on the individual's execution. If an ordinary disciple violates the law, the Discipline Department, Supervision Department, etc. will naturally punish him."
"What if the masters of the Three Halls break the laws? Who dares to harm them? The so-called laws are not decided by people, let alone matters related to interests such as finance, which makes it even more unclear."
"You have your own reasons, and he has his own reasons. In the end, it's not who has the final say who has the most authority. Isn't it that Junior Brother Tang doesn't know this truth?"
Tang Ning frowned and said, "What do you want to say, Senior Brother Du? If you have something to say, say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush."
Du Yuankai said: "The spiritual stone subsidy is not a rigid rule of the sect. It can be given to you or not. The key depends on your ability. This ability does not mean how high your cultivation level is or how powerful your magical powers are.
. But how is your interpersonal relationship with the key people who hold the authority of the sect? Whether or not the spiritual stone subsidy is issued depends entirely on their words."
"For our intelligence station, we must first establish a good relationship with Senior Brother Lu. After all, he is the deacon of the department. If he can't get through, everything will be over."
Tang Ning said, "It's precisely because Senior Brother Lu trusts you that I'm here to ask you to give me a kind word."
Du Yuankai said: "Actually, why should Junior Brother Tang sacrifice the near for the distant? Rather than letting me attack from the side, why not take the initiative yourself? If Senior Brother Lu senses your sincerity, he will not deliberately embarrass you."
"Let's not talk secretly. Senior Brother Lu does have some prejudice against you, but it's not against you. It's mainly because someone is causing trouble in the Ministry of Science and Technology, which makes him unhappy. There is something going on right now. If Junior Brother Tang can listen to me,
From now on, there will be no problem for the intelligence station to apply for spirit stone subsidies."
"Senior Brother Du is talking about the ant eggs, right?" Tang Ning sneered inwardly. It turned out that they were waiting for her here! It seemed that they had already discussed this matter and wanted to use this matter to force her to submit. These people were acting too shamelessly.
Du Yuankai smiled: "Yes, Senior Brother Lu has mentioned to me many times that he is quite good at spiritual beasts. He often wants a spiritual beast by his side but has never been able to get one. Since Junior Brother Tang has a rare spiritual beast, why not
Give him the ant eggs to show your sincerity. I hope he won't treat you badly, and you can gain his sincerity of gratitude. In the future, you will naturally help me with the spiritual stone subsidy for the intelligence station. Why not?"
"So, if I don't give him the ant eggs, I won't be able to apply for the spiritual stone subsidy?"
