Tang Ning was slightly startled and quickly took the file. After taking a look at it, she realized that it was Lu Xingxian who took the initiative to abdicate and resigned from the position of deacon of the Intelligence Section, and the sect had approved it.

It seems that Lu Xingxian's deadline is approaching and he can no longer persist. Otherwise, Lu Guang has not returned from Jining Island, indicating that he has not been successfully promoted to the later stage of foundation building. At this time, Lu Xingxian will abdicate, and Zhu Xu will most likely succeed him as the deacon of the Intelligence Department.

.

How could Lu Xingxian have voluntarily resigned from his position as deacon if he had no other choice?

The sect's communication with him was not a person's wish. It was a necessary procedure in the department's process. He was the manager of the Information Department. If the deacon abdicated, he was eligible to apply for election for the position of deacon. Of course, he had to be notified.

Tang Ning pondered for a while and said, "I will go back to the sect and leave the affairs here to you."

"Yes." Kong Ji responded. He was very curious about the arrangements made by the top management of the ministry and who would be the deacon. However, after being at the intelligence station for so long, he knew very well that he should not ask.

Tangning left the intelligence station and fled all the way. Within two days, she returned to the sect. When she came to a cave, she waved her hand and handed the talisman through the thick fog.

Not long after, the thick fog rolled, and a ray of light shot out from inside, revealing Zhu Xu's figure. He smiled and said: "Junior brother Tang is back, please come in quickly."

Zhu Xu has always been taciturn, unsmiling, and expressive of his emotions and anger. But today he is smiling. It seems that after Lu Xingxian abdicated, he was in a very happy mood, and naturally became eccentric. I think the position of deacon of the Information Department should be

Almost as close as ten.

The two of them entered the cave one after the other and sat opposite each other.

Tang Ning said: "Senior Brother Zhu, I came here as soon as I received the news from the sect Xuan Ying. Congratulations! The long-cherished wish of many years has finally come to fruition. The position of Deacon of the Intelligence Department has finally fallen into your hands."

Zhu Xu waved his hand: "It's too early to say this. There are many people coveting this position! Junior Brother Lu rushed back from Jining Island two days ago. I don't think he will let it go easily."

"Oh?" Tangning frowned slightly: "He has broken through to the late stage of foundation building?"

"Not really, but he has been quite active these days and has visited many people."

Tang Ning said: "Since we have not broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, there is nothing to worry about. Even if there are people who support it, I think the masters above are all very clear-sighted and will not choose him as a mid-stage Foundation Establishment monk."

deacon."

Zhu Xu smiled slightly: "Uncle Luo summoned me two days ago."

The meaning of this is obvious, he has received the support of Luo Qingshui.

Tang Ning said: "With Master Luo in the middle to mediate, it can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai."

Zhu Xu was noncommittal: "In a few days, the sect will discuss the matter and we will know the result."

Tang Ning said: "By the way, why did Senior Brother Lu suddenly resign as deacon? Is it because his life span has expired?"

"It will only take a month or two at most! The spiritual power in his body can no longer be suppressed."

Tangning sighed slightly and remained speechless.

Although he and Lu Xingxian were not enemies, they had been getting along for decades. In fact, there was no deep hatred between the two. At most, there were frictions caused by some differences of opinion.

At this moment, his life was about to end, and the past had naturally drifted away with the wind. Tang Ning couldn't help but feel a little sad that the rabbit had died.

The two people in the cave fell into silence for a moment.

After a while, Zhu Xu said: "Now we are the only ones who can talk to each other in the Information Department. I would like to ask Junior Brother Tang for your support in many things in the future."

"Senior Brother Zhu is too polite. If you have anything to do, just ask."

The two chatted for a while, and Tang Ning said goodbye and returned to her cave.

………………

In the Lu Xingxian Cave Mansion, Lu Guang sat opposite him. Looking at the old man in front of him, with wrinkles on his face, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

"How is it?" Lu Xingxian coughed slightly, his voice old.

Lu Guang shook his head: "Senior Brother Ma Boyan took me to visit Uncle Cheng and Uncle Jiang, but they did not express their stance."

Ma Boyan was the first disciple of Shi Mingsui, the master of Qingxuan Hall. He took Lu Guang to visit the senior officials of various halls and courtyards, and the person behind him was naturally Shi Mingsui.

Cheng Shuimin of the Foreign Ministry favored Shi Mingsui among the senior officials of the Qian Yizong, while Jiang Ming was relatively neutral. The two of them did not express their positions clearly, but they had fully stated their attitudes, that is, they did not support Lu Guang's appointment as the deacon of the Information Section.

Tong Quan'an of the Secret Academy has a close relationship with Luo Qingshui, the master of the Xuande Hall, and Peng Wanli, the master of the Yuanyi Hall, has always maintained a middle ground between the two.

This time Ma Boyan led him to visit Cheng Shuimin, Jiang Ming and Peng Wanli in order to gain their support. Although Cheng Shuimin and Jiang Ming did not express their opinions, they also received him, but Peng Wanli directly refused to meet him, his attitude was obvious.

These are all things that are tacitly understood. Although it has not yet reached the sect's discussion stage, the results are already foreseeable.

The appointment of the deacons of the sect's departments must be decided by the sect's top leaders, that is, the votes of the three hall masters, the three courtyard masters and the seven heads.

In the event of abstention or a tie vote, the director has the final say.

Lu Xingxuan's face was expressionless and he said calmly: "It's expected, but you don't have to be too depressed. You still have a lot of time. It's hard to predict the blessings and misfortunes of the world."

Lu Guang felt ashamed and said, "I have failed to live up to Senior Brother Lu's high expectations."

"For a dying person, fame and wealth are just a fleeting thing. I have done everything I can, and I have tried my best to repay Uncle Shi's kindness back then." Lu Xingxian smiled lightly, not caring, and turned his right hand. , took out a dossier and said, "By the way, here's this for you. You might be able to use it one day."

Lu Guang took it and opened it, his expression changed slightly: "This is it?"

Lu Xingxian said: "I haven't played this card for so many years. It's just because I haven't had the opportunity. Good steel needs to be used on steel blades. Take it! I have a hunch that it will be used one day."

"Who else knows about this?"

"Only you, me, and Junior Brother Du know."

Lu Guang pondered for a while: "What if there is never a suitable time?"

"Forget it then. There is no need to do things that harm others but are not beneficial to oneself."

"Understood."

………………

Tang Ning returned to the cave, sat cross-legged and practiced with her eyes closed, waiting for the sect's meeting to decide on the selection of deacons for the Intelligence Department.

A few days passed by in a flash. Around noon that day, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground. The storage bag around his waist suddenly shook. He took out the formation plate and pointed it upward, took the transmission note into his hand, and injected his spiritual consciousness into it. A word came to my mind.

He stood up and escaped from the cave in a flash of light.

Outside the thick fog, a man with a broad forehead and broad face was standing waiting. Seeing his arrival, he bowed and saluted: "Uncle Tang, Master Tong invites all the uncles in this department to gather in the meeting hall."

There is no doubt that it must be a matter of the deacon's choice. Tangning turned into a phantom and came to the Zhongzhi Peak meeting hall. When she entered the hall, she saw an old man with white beard and hair sitting on top of the chair. He was from the Secret Academy. Tong Quan'an, the director of the hospital.

There are three people standing upright behind him, Zhu Xu is on the left rear, Lu Xingxian is directly behind him, and the man on the right rear is tall and tall, with a tiger body and a wolf waist, but he doesn't know who it is.

Below, several managers from the Intelligence Department have already taken their seats. Among the four people on the left are the first man with tall cheekbones and a fair complexion. He is the new inspector Liu Miao. The two have never met since he took office.

The second bright-headed old man is Chen Xuan. Looking at his face, he seems to have aged a lot over the years, and he also seems to have a short lifespan.

The third person is a woman with a high nose and a few light spots.

This person is a newly promoted disciple of Foundation Establishment, named Xu Cuiyao, who was originally the captain of the eighth team under the Intelligence Department.

The fourth person is an old man with white beard and hair. He is Zhang Yan who came back from Jining Island to take up a post.

There are also three people sitting on the right hand side. The first is Lu Guang, the second is Du Yuankai, and the third is a man with a fat head and big ears. He is chubby and smiles like a Maitreya Buddha. He is about fifty years old.

Cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building.

Tang Ning had never met this person before, but she had a rough idea of ​​who he was.

At the intelligence station under the Intelligence Department, Tang Ning is in charge of detailed infiltration and lurking in Chu State. There is another person in charge of intelligence work in Qi and Wu outside Chu State. There is no doubt that this person is the one in charge of Qi and Wu.

People from the intelligence agencies of both countries.

"Disciple Tang Ning has met Master Tong." Tang Ning stepped forward and saluted.

Tong Quan'an nodded slightly: "Sit down!"

"Yes." Tangning took the third seat on the right.

"Everyone from the Intelligence Department is here!"

Lu Xingxian said: "Yes, all the disciples in charge of the Intelligence Department are here."

"Yes." Tong Quan'an nodded and said: "Xiao Qian, please announce the appointment of the sect!"

"Yes." The man surnamed Xiao responded, took out a piece of paper and read: "The sect has decided to remove Lu Xingxian from the post of deacon of the Intelligence Section and appoint Zhu Xu as the deacon of the Intelligence Section from now on."

Tong Quan'an stood up and said: "Zhu Xu, from now on, you are the deacon of the Intelligence Department, and you have full authority to handle the affairs of the Intelligence Department."

"Yes, disciple, I obey." Zhu Xu responded.

"Let's go!" Tong Quan'an led Lu Xingxian and the man named Xiao out of the hall.

Everyone stood up to see each other off.

After the three figures walked away, Zhu Xu walked to the main seat and sat down, waving his hand: "Junior brothers, please take a seat!"

Everyone took their seats one by one.

Zhu Xu said: "We are all old acquaintances, so I won't say any more polite words. I am the deacon for the first time, and everything in the department is as before. Junior Brother Lu still goes to Jining Island to take up his post, Junior Brother Chen continues to be in charge of the internal affairs of the department, Du

Junior brother is in charge of the specific matters of each action team, and junior sister Xu is in charge of intelligence liaison. As for the intelligence collection work, junior brother Zhang is also asked to be responsible."

Thank you very much to book friends for their red envelope recommendations.

But it's really not necessary.

It makes me sad to see hundreds of oceans spent like this.

There was a flood at home, so I asked for leave, and there was a power outage in the village. There was no update today.
Chapter completed!
