"So, it is caused by the intensification of their internal conflicts." Zheng Wei pondered, and had a plan in mind. Originally, he planned to ask about the situation and give some advice. If there were any difficulties, he would also give some advice. After all, he was in charge of intelligence.

Things, if things continue like this, are not the right thing to do.

Now that Xu Qingwan said this, he had completely given up the idea. He was afraid of avoiding this kind of internal struggle, so how could he get on the pole and get involved in it. He had no choice but to agree to Du Yuankai to monitor Tang Ning, but he regretted it too much.

I have a bit of a guilty conscience, and when it comes to this, I avoid it like a snake or a scorpion.

Xu Qingwan said: "It is not appropriate for us to get involved and say too much about this matter. If we wait patiently, the matter will eventually be resolved."

Zheng Wei nodded and said: "I know that this is a game between them. Tang Xianshi did this to express his protest and show it to the people of the Shangzong. I heard that Du Xianshi came back a month ago. I don't know why?"

Xu Qingwan said: "I don't know about this. Du Xianshi talked with Tang Xianshi alone for half a day, and then left. Within a few days, the Supreme Sect rejected the application file for the Lingshi subsidy."

"It seems that the negotiation has not been completed!" Zheng Wei said. He knew that Du Yuankai and the people behind him were not from the same faction as Tang Ning. Judging from the time, Du Yuankai must have negotiated when he came here. The result was that the negotiation obviously collapsed.

lead to such consequences.

"Are you saying that this time the Shangzong went against the norm and rejected the station's application for spiritual stone subsidy because Du Xianshi was obstructing it? But the two of them got along well before and there was no conflict." Xu Qingwan frowned slightly in confusion.

road.

When Du Yuankai left with the intelligence station's remaining spiritual stone funds, Tang Ning did not ask for it. She knew about it, and the two of them got along well when they worked together, so in her opinion, the relationship between the two should be good.

of.

Zheng Wei said: "Whether there is any conflict can't be seen on the surface! These people are cunning and cunning. Even if there is a conflict and they hate each other, they will not tear their faces apart like casual cultivators and use bad words to express their emotions."

"How did you know?"

Zheng Wei said: "Tell you the truth! It was said by Du Xianshi himself. There was no personal conflict between him and Tang Xianshi, but they were not in the same boat. There are also factions within the Qianyi Sect, and those behind Du Xianshi

People and Tang Xianshi are not from the same faction, so when Du Xianshi was in office, the application for the spirit stone subsidy went very smoothly."

"And Tang Xianshi dismissed it as soon as he took office. It's better that you know this secretly, and don't tell others, including Tang Xianshi."

Xu Qingwan suddenly said: "That's it."

The two talked for a long time. Zheng Wei left his room and left without looking for Tangning again.

………………

Qian Yizong, Zhongzhi Peak, Lu Xingxian Cave Mansion.

Du Yuankai sat opposite him, flipped through his left hand and took out a file and handed it to him: "This is sent by the person I arranged at the Silver Fox Intelligence Station. Since the spirit stone subsidy was rejected, Junior Brother Tang ordered that all the following actions be frozen.

Fund application. Several infiltration plans to lurk and instigate rebellion have been stopped."

Lu Xingxian took the file, glanced at it, and snorted coldly: "You are going to fight me in the ring! You are going to do this with me, trying to force me to submit."

Du Yuankai said: "It's not an option to continue like this. How about I go talk to him again? Let's take a step back."

"Quit? What leverage does he have to make me quit? Hmm, let's see what tricks he can make."

Du Yuankai was speechless.

………………

To the west of Bianjing City, in a deserted mountain ridge, there is a dilapidated stone house. From time to time, there are escaping lights falling in the air, but after entering the stone house, there is no trace.

Towards evening, the setting sun was like a fire, and a ray of light flashed across the sky, falling outside the stone house, and a human figure appeared. He was wearing a bamboo hat on his head and a black raincoat, which completely covered his face and figure.

Reality.

A man in front of the stone house glanced at him and then made a "please" gesture.

The man walked into the house and saw a man and a woman standing at the end of the left side of the house. They had masks on their faces and couldn't see their true faces. Both of them were in the middle stage of foundation building.

He walked forward, flicked his sleeves, and dropped a palm-sized golden token into his palm, handing it to the man among them.

The man took the token and looked at it, his voice hoarse: "Don't you know your friend's name?"

"Is there such a rule here?"

"The right should be recorded."

"Tang Ru." said the visitor. This person was none other than Tang Ning.

He put down his work at the intelligence station and left it all to Zheng Wei and Xu Qingwan, while he ran around looking for materials such as purple flame stone, titanium gold, yellow xuan powder, and green manganese fluid, so that he could refine the queen ant corpse.

Made into a spiritual weapon.

Since Lu Xingxian insisted on going his own way and insisted on tampering with the spiritual stone subsidy to force him to submit, then it didn't matter whether he could contribute or not, he could just be a hands-off shopkeeper and take care of everything.

In fact, he has dozens of ant eggs on his body. It is definitely a good deal to exchange one ant egg for hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones in future funding subsidies.

The main reason why Tang Ning fought to the end and made such an unwise move was because she was not ashamed of his despicable method of using power to control others.

I took a lot of risks to get the ant eggs myself, and I also lost many spiritual weapons for it. In other words, this is my own opportunity, and it is useless for others to covet it. This is the basic consensus in the spiritual world.

.

Why does he think he can get a piece of the pie? Just because he is the deacon of the Intelligence Division, he takes this title too seriously.

Even the head of the sect did not say this.

Tang Ning always values ​​peace when interacting with others, and rarely gets on bad terms with others. Even if she suffers a small loss, she doesn't care much about it.

But there are things in this world that can be endured, and there are those that cannot be endured. If this is tolerable, which one cannot?

He has been in the Intelligence Department for so many years. Even if he is not conscientious and diligent, he is at least hard-working and uncomplaining! He thinks he has great respect for Lu Xingxian, the deacon, and goes all out for every assigned task. Why should he still do it?

Give yourself some shoes to wear.

Not to mention the bad things that Lu Xingxian rejected his application for foundation building before, this time alone, he would never compromise.

Once you regress, you will really treat yourself like a soft persimmon from now on. An ant egg will pop up today, and a spiritual weapon will pop up tomorrow. Isn't it true that you will never have peace?

Now that he is so angry, he might as well ignore everything and let whoever wants to toss things about the intelligence station do it! Let's see what Lu Xingxian can do to him.

In the past few months, Tangning visited all the cities and private shops of local families, and found only one material, purple flame stone. It was bought in a family shop in the southern part of Wu State, and it was the private possession of the shopkeeper.

At that moment, I bought three kilograms for five thousand spirit stones.

There was no trace of the other three materials, so he had no choice. Since he couldn't find them in shops, he had to turn his target to individual monks.

The place where a large number of individual monks gathered to trade was the auction. He gathered information from many sources and learned that there was an auction here.

This auction has a very high standard, and only monks above the foundation-building stage can participate. The specific person who organized it is unknown. There are rumors that it was organized privately by members of the Chamber of Commerce.

Duanjishanfang City holds an auction every four years, which is public and all proceeds go to the Chamber of Commerce.

This kind of private organization is the initiative of the chamber of commerce personnel, and all the profits belong to themselves.

Not everyone can participate in this kind of auction. They must first register at various secret points and obtain their pass tokens before they can participate in the auction. This is the golden brand that Tangning just sold.

The man took the token, asked for Tang Ning's name, and then took out a stone tablet for him, with the font size "24" written on both sides.

The woman pressed on the stone wall, and the stone wall suddenly opened and moved to both sides, revealing a foot-wide passage.

Tangning took the stone sign and walked in. The passage was about a hundred feet long. At the end, there was another burly man standing beside him, also wearing a mask.

Tang Ning showed him the stone sign. Without saying a word, the big man turned his hand, took out a red flag, and pointed at it.

The flag shot out a red light and hit the ground. A large hole opened in the ground, and a bluestone step appeared inside.

Tangning walked down the bluestone steps. The road became wider and wider. After turning a corner, she came to an empty basement room. There were two more men guarding the end, both wearing hoods.

Basic late stage cultivation.

He felt a shiver in his heart. The guarding monks alone had reached the late stage of foundation building. There were probably golden elixir monks sitting here. When he walked forward, the two people didn't ask any questions. One of them took out a chess flag and opened the stone wall.

Inside is a rather grand hall, twenty feet long and ten feet wide, with a round platform two feet high at the end. The whole hall is magnificent.

The green glazed tiles are twinkling with light, the golden palace lanterns are colorful, and the white jade stone pillars are carved with beams and painted pillars, with lifelike carvings of coiled dragons and flying phoenixes.

There were twenty or thirty people sitting scattered in the hall, all wearing masks or hats, so their true faces could not be seen clearly.

Tang Ning walked to a remote corner and sat down. He turned his head and looked around. At this moment, there were twenty-four people in the hall, including him, which matched his number. They were all monks who had established their foundation.

Several people have reached the late stage of foundation building.

There is no doubt that among these people there must be Xuanmen and Demon Sect monks. Under the auspices of this third-party force, they can live in the same room peacefully.

It's not yet time for the auction to start, and everyone is waiting.

As time passed, many people came to this hall one after another, looking for seats to sit down. People who did not know each other basically kept a certain distance from others.

Around 1 hour, a hole opened in the stone wall behind the round platform, and two people walked out, wearing masks with horse faces and bull heads on their heads.

The bull-headed man spoke with an old voice: "The time has come and this auction has begun. Thank you all fellow Taoists for your participation. This time, as usual, we have chosen to hold this auction in Bianjing, Chu State. The next time will be three years later.

, will be held in Huanjing, Qi State, and we hope that all fellow Taoists can participate."
