Chapter 305 Huang Family

Tang Ning was a little disappointed. Among the more than fifty egg cases, there were only three winged female ants.

The rest are worker ants and soldier ants, that is, guard ants and army ants. This means that only these three female ants can reproduce. Hopefully, they can mate smoothly, lay eggs, and become queen ants.

Tangning prayed in her heart and sprinkled the golden particles into the spirit animal bag, which immediately attracted ants to compete for food.

An ant colony without a queen is like scattered sand with no order at all.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Tangning put away her storage bag and uttered one word: "Come in."

An old man with a bright head pushed open the door and entered. Tang Ning was slightly startled. This person was none other than Du Yuankai.

He stood up to greet him and said, "Senior Brother Du, why are you here? Please sit down."

"I came to you specially today. I want to talk to you about something."

Tang Ning probably knew why he was here. It was just that he had ignored matters for more than a year, which caused some sources in the Intelligence Department to come here to speak out.

"What's the matter? Do you want Senior Brother Laodu to go there in person?"

"I heard that you are now the boss and ignore everything. Junior Brother Tang, I can understand your emotions, but you can't be so temperamental!" Du Yuankai sighed.

Tang Ning said: "Fellow Daoist Zheng, Daoyou Daoist Xu, they manage very well. I'm not sitting idly by, but I'm not as hands-on as before. Didn't I report the monthly intelligence information to the sect as scheduled?"

Du Yuankai said: "As far as I know, you haven't contacted those confidential and important insider disciples for more than a year, and no intelligence clues about them have been transmitted to the sect. Junior Brother Tang, with all due respect, you are doing this

, but there are some things that shouldn’t be done. It’s one thing for the higher-ups to reject your application for spiritual stone subsidy. It’s another thing for you to be the director of an intelligence station and not do anything about it.”

"As the saying goes, public is public and private is private. You have always been a calm person. How come you are so impulsive?"

Tangning looked slightly displeased: "I want the horse to run, but I don't want it to eat grass. Brother Du, do you think there is such a thing in the world? I have always made a distinction between public and private affairs. Is it right for the intelligence station to apply for a spiritual stone subsidy?"

Is it my private matter? Where is the distinction between public and private? The intelligence station has no funds, so how can it develop insiders?"

"I'm afraid I'm running back and forth all year round, wasting my cultivation time, making wedding clothes for others. If you have merit and rewards, they belong to others, and if you make mistakes, you'll be responsible for them. Even a ten-year-old child wouldn't be able to do this kind of thing.

Don't do it, not to mention monks like you and me, but now you accuse me of not knowing right from wrong and not distinguishing between public and private, isn't it too much?"

Du Yuankai was silent for a long time and then said: "Junior Brother Tang, please listen to my advice. Since you are the head of the intelligence station, you have to shoulder the responsibility for the affairs of the intelligence station. Zheng Wei, who is Xu Qingwan? They are just an introduction.

Outsiders, how can they decide the affairs of the intelligence station?"

"As for the spiritual stone subsidy, please be patient and wait for a while. Senior Brother Lu is just temporarily angry. In fact, he has relaxed during this period. You have taken care of the matter. I will go to him and tell him that he will give it to me in the future."

A little thin noodles.”

Tang Ning sneered in her heart, this is just painting on paper, how old are you treating yourself like a child! Du Yuankai's coming here must be Lu Xingxian's intention. If he really meant to let go, it wouldn't be like this.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Du, for your kindness. I know how to handle the matter at the intelligence station."

Du Yuankai nodded and did not dwell on the matter. The two chatted for a while, and then he left.

………………

The night light was bright, the moon was bright and the stars were numerous, in Fenglian County, Jiangdong, in a Taoist temple two hundred miles east of the city, a ray of light fell, and a handsome man appeared, it was Tang Ning.

In the hall, a man with a leopard head and ape arms heard a strange noise and hurriedly went out to greet him: "Disciple Wang Xuquan pays homage to Master Tang."

Tangning nodded: "I heard that you know the clues about Huang Xuan powder and green manganese liquid? Are you sure?"

"Yes, since I received the message from the intelligence station, I have been asking people, and finally I got a piece of information. I am afraid it is not accurate, so I went to visit it personally, and the person admitted that he did have these two materials."

Tang Ning said happily: "Well done, where is that person now?"

"This person is Huang Tingjian, the head of the Huang family. He should be at the Huang family's residence now, but..."

“It’s okay to speak up if you have something to say.”

"The disciple explained his intention to him, saying that this was what Uncle Master needed, and asked him if he was willing to sell it, as the price would not be unfair to him. Unexpectedly, he refused, because Huang Tingjian has a bad temper and is well-known far and wide. Disciple

fear…"

Tangning smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, just take me there."

"Yes." Wang Xuquan responded, flying into the air with his flying sword.

Tang Ning followed him for a while, but she thought his escape technique was too slow, so she wrapped him in spiritual energy and flew away.

After walking for about two hours, we arrived at the southern boundary of Jiangxi Province, but saw a place shrouded in clouds and mist below.

Wang Xuquan pointed to the place shrouded in clouds and mist: "Uncle, the Huang family's residence is below here."

Tangning escaped from the light, passed through the clouds and fog, and arrived in front of the mansion.

The Huang family's mansion is located in this deep mountain, covering a large area, with rows of houses and a majestic gate with the word "Huangfu" written on it.

As soon as the two people landed in front of the mansion, a man and a woman came towards them.

The two of them glanced at Tang Ning warily: "I wonder who you are, senior, and why are you here at my residence?"

Wang Xuquan said: "We are monks from the Qianyi Sect's Information Department. This is Senior Uncle Tang Ning from the main department. Last time I came to visit Senior Huang Tingjian. I would like to ask fellow Taoists to inform us of our visit."

"Please wait a moment, you two." The man said and walked inside. After a while, he turned back and said, "Master, please come in."

The two of them followed him to the main hall. The man made an invitation gesture, and Tang Ning strode in.

Sitting on the main seat in the hall was a burly man with piercing eyes. He was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. He had white hair on his temples. He looked about fifty years old. He had a straight face and a serious smile. There was a mark on his forehead between his eyebrows.

Deep wrinkles.

At first glance, he looked like a master who was not easy to talk to. No wonder Wang Xuquan said that he had a bad temper. Tang Ning thought to herself and stepped forward to inspect him: "I am Tang Ning, a disciple of the Yizong. I apologize for the intrusion."

"Please take a seat." Huang Tingjian neither stood up to greet him nor bowed his head in return. He sat high on the main seat and said.

Tang Ning still took her seat, and Wang Xuquan stood behind him.

"This time I came uninvited and bothered fellow Taoist, but I really have something to ask for. I heard that there are yellow xuan powder and green manganese liquid material in my house. I wonder if I can part with it? I would be very grateful. As for the price, I can only tell you the price.

Friend decides with one word."

Huang Tingjian said: "There are indeed some unusual materials in Xingang at home. My ancestors traveled around and brought them from the big islands in the early years. However, the quantity is not large. It has been passed down to my generation for three generations.

This is for future generations of the Huang family."

"The disciples of the former noble sect came here. I have already made it clear that these materials are not worth a lot of money, but they are quite rare and rare. Now that my Huang family has fallen into decline and has no chance to leave Xingang again, these things are left to me.

It is for future generations’ use and will not be sold outside.”

When Tang Ning heard what he said, she was greatly disappointed, but she still tried her best and said, "I am willing to pay three times the market price to buy it. If Friends Huang Dao can part with it, I would be very grateful."

Huang Tingjian said: "Although the Huang family is not rich, it is not so embarrassed. I would like to ask my Taoist friends to find other solutions."

"Since my mind has been made up, Daoyou Huang, I won't say anything more and say goodbye." Tang Ning stood up and said.

"I won't send you far."

The two of them left the main hall and turned into light.

"Uncle, this old guy doesn't know how to show appreciation and has a bad temper. If you want to get those things from him, you have to use some tricks." Wang Xuquan said angrily, looking even more excited than Tang Ning.

It's as if he is the buyer.

The reason for this is of course not because I feel ashamed of being rejected, but because it is related to my own vital interests.

Tang Ning once said that there would be a heavy reward for anyone who could provide clues. It took a lot of effort for him to find out the information, but now that he was rejected, it meant that his source of information had no value. He was worried that it would not be able to fulfill the contract, so he was very angry.

Tangning glanced at him: "Do you have any good ideas?"

"This...disciple has not thought of it for a moment."

"You don't have to worry about this."

"Yes." Wang Xuquan responded, hesitating in his heart whether or not to ask for the reward, and how to ask.

Tang Ning had already taken out her storage bag, took out dozens of spirit stones and threw them to him: "You did a good job in this matter. This is your reward. Just keep these three thousand spirit stones."

Wang Xuquan hurriedly took the spiritual stones and said happily: "Thank you, uncle."

"I have other things to do. You go back first. I will call you when something happens."

"Yes." Wang Xuquan felt that the spiritual power surrounding his body suddenly dissipated without a trace. He flipped his left hand, took out the flying sword, and stepped on it.

Tang Ning arrived at the contact point of the Jiangnan Intelligence Station, which was a loft. It was already late at night and the loft store was closed.

With a flash of his body, he entered the pavilion and walked upstairs. The sound of his footsteps alerted everyone in the building.

"Who?" A loud shout came from the room, and then the room opened wide, and a short and fat man walked out. When he saw Tang Ning, his expression changed: "Senior, why are you here."

Tang Ning handed him the token: "Where is Sun Jiayi?"

The man took the token, bowed and said, "It turns out to be Senior Shang Zong Tang, and Sun Xianshi is not here."

"Go and call him. I have something to ask him for."

"Yes." The short and fat man replied, got down from the attic, picked up the magic weapon and left.

About dawn, a man with thick eyebrows hurried over and saluted, "Disciple Sun Jiayi has met Uncle Tang."

"You are the head of the Jiangnan Intelligence Station. How much do you know about the Huang family?"

"The Huang family is a big family in the local area, so the disciples naturally know a little bit about it. I wonder what Uncle Master is referring to?"

"How is Huang Tingjian like this person?"

"This person has a strong character and a stubborn temper."

"Does he have any weaknesses?"

"this…"

"In other words, does he have anything to regret?"

"What's a regret?" Sun Jiayi lowered his head and thought for a while: "He has a grandson named Huang Yaozu, whom he loves the most. Huang Yaozu is very talented, but he has no practice. He has been wandering in flower alleys since he was a child, and he loves gambling and drinking. Huang Tingjian wants to train him.
