Tang Zhao did not expect that Deputy Mai would come to greet him. He was overjoyed and said, "Sister Mai, long time no see. How did you know I was coming?"
When he was about to salute, Mai Shiyu had already grabbed him and said affectionately: "Of course I know. Why are you so polite? Come on, let's go in. I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I have to have a good drink with you today."
Hearing two angry snorts behind him, as if a cow or a horse were waking up, Tang Zhao looked back and saw that the two Qingtian Temple doctors were angry with their noses, not their noses, and their faces, not their faces. He felt a little embarrassed and said: "Sister Mai, you two...
…”
Mai Shiyu smiled and said, "How happy we are to be reunited as brothers and sisters today. What's the difference between one and two? Don't think so much." After saying that, he took Tang Zhao's hand and pulled him directly into the city.
, leaving only two noble envoys from Qingtian Temple furious.
After walking across the suspension bridge and entering the city, covered by the city wall and no one else on either side, Tang Zhaofang said: "Sister, those two just now..."
Those two are doctors from Qingtian Temple, at least fifth grade, higher than the deputy governor of the Mai Shiyu inspection department. Moreover, Qingtian Temple and the inspection department are inseparable. No matter how powerful the inspection department is, there is no Qingtian Temple.
The intelligence support is useless and must not be offended. Qingtian Temple is the only one in the world and only in the center. If you are offended, there is no place to make amends.
Mai Shiyu sneered and said: "Don't pay attention to those two losers. The devil's cave is coming, and the people all over the city are threatened, but they can't calculate the time or the place. They are useless. They look down on this and that day by day.
, How come you don’t know how to be ashamed of using money from the capital’s uncle? Why are you and the two of you here together?”
Tang Zhao explained: "I met them on the road. I just came back from investigating in the countryside and gave them a ride. They did have a bad temper, but at least they were willing to work. As for not being able to figure it out...manpower is sometimes exhausted, so that's okay.
Method."
Mai Shiyu shook his head and said: "You are still that good-natured person who treats everyone well and forgives everyone. This is your loyalty. But your sister Mai is a mean person. You don't know that these two people just
When we arrived, it was a big deal, and it seemed that we would not have to spend the night to capture the empty magic cave. But after a few days, we started to give up after suffering setbacks, so we had to coax and beg them to continue calculating. We managed to hold on for a few days,
There was no progress and it was completely ruined. No matter how much I coaxed, I turned against them and forced them to do the calculation. I also knew that they just couldn't figure it out and kept running around making fools of themselves every day, but I just couldn't stand their inability to do anything.
They also made sarcastic remarks. The one on the left said: "What happened to a few ordinary people who died?", the one on the right said "How can there be evil that doesn't kill people?" If it weren't for the official hats on their heads, I really want to stick them to the wall.
superior."
Hearing this, Tang Zhao couldn't help but said: "What are these things? Have all the books been read into the dog's belly?"
Mai Shiyu said: "Let me tell you, are these scholars who have studied hard for ten years in Hanchuang? They don't know the hardships of the people, but their patience and perseverance are so poor that they can't persist for a month? Is this how they were studying in the first place?"
Tang Zhao thought for a while and said: "They are all young men in the Yuan Dynasty. It can only be said that they are literary stars who have come to earth, so they don't need to study hard in the cold window, right? And they were directly admitted to Qingtian Temple, and they suddenly became a fifth-rank official, better than the Hanlin Academy.
Qiang, he has never even served as a people-friendly official, so he probably doesn’t understand the world.”
Mai Shiyu sneered and said: "I don't care what kind of Jieyuan he is, doctor. Anyway, it's just a deal. After the devil's cave comes, we break up. Never see these two bastards again. They said they would go to the capital to sue me, so then
Now that we've sued, I want to see how far Qingtian Temple can go to destroy public affairs for personal reasons and confuse right and wrong."
Tang Zhaodao: "But Qingtian Temple is overbearing. They are the only ones in the world who can calculate the devil's cave. It would be great if we in Yunzhou could also calculate the devil's cave..."
Mai Shiyu suddenly said: "Don't say it. It's a taboo."
The two of them were silent. At this time, they had passed through the quiet street, turned into the alley, and arrived in front of a house. It was an ordinary house, one of the more spacious ones among ordinary people's houses. Mai Shiyu said: "This
You can stay here for two days."
As soon as the door opened, Jiang Shenyi was seen sitting in the yard, holding a large bowl of tea under the bean rack and saying, "Hey, you're here?".
Tang Zhao was not surprised - if Jiang Shenyi hadn't arrived first, how would Mai Shiyu know he was coming? When it comes to rushing, flying is definitely faster than running.
This house has three rooms and a small courtyard, which is quite clean and tidy. Tang Zhao and Mai Shiyu sat in the courtyard and said, "Sister Mai, won't you take me to see the guard envoy to receive my order?"
Mai Shiyu waved his hand and said: "Don't go. I regret calling you here. Originally, I thought that the most dangerous thing about the Hollow Demon Cave is the moment it comes. After calculating the time, you used the Fu Sword Master's method to isolate it.
People, block the entrance and minimize the harm, and then we will take action to level the devil's cave. In this way, the merits are complete and everyone has a contribution. As a member of the Prosecution Department, you can also record a merit, which will also be a qualification in the future.
.The result is like this now. The devil's cave cannot be calculated and there is no way to arrange it in advance. Misfortunes will definitely cause disasters and the people will definitely be harmed. How can you claim credit? Only sins are left. If you return the punishment
If you are involved as a local secretary, it will inevitably be stained."
At this point, she was also a little frustrated and said: "Actually, I want you to go back directly and stop going through this muddy water. But think about it, that would be too underestimating you. You are not the kind of person who is afraid of trouble.
Since you are here, just help me as a friend and be a fighting force, as there is probably no use for you as a Talisman Sword Master."
Tang Zhao also felt deeply regretful. He had searched a lot of information in Jianzhou and basically had the confidence to control the entrance to the Demon Cave, but unexpectedly it was useless.
But he had no choice. No matter how profound his attainments in talismans were, they were completely different fields from Tian Yanshu. Tian Yanshu could be regarded as the rarest and most secret knowledge in the world. It was firmly in the hands of Qingtian Temple. Even the glasses
There was no way to prompt him, and there was nothing he could do.
He could only sigh: "It's hard to go against the will of heaven. Don't you have any capable people who are proficient in the art of Tian Yan?"
Before Mai Shiyu could say anything, Jiang Shenyi said: "Learning the Tianyan technique in private is a treasonous crime and an unforgivable crime. Even if someone is really proficient in it, they wouldn't dare to say it, right?"
Mai Shiyu was surprised that Jiang Shenyi actually knew it so clearly, and said: "Exactly, let's talk about the imperial court. In some places it is as if it is invisible. It makes a mess and you can't even see it. In some places, you can't touch it, even if you touch it a little bit.
It jumps out all of a sudden and gives you a heavy hammer. This Tianyan technique is a taboo that you must be careful about and should be rarely mentioned in private. Besides, even if someone really learns this, the power of one or two people is not as good as that of Qingtian Temple.
Where is the background? Qingtian Temple has no clue, and probably everyone in the world has no clue."
She held the sword in her waist and said: "So I have to fulfill the duties of an Earth Inspector. Inspector, Inspector, if you can't take care of things in heaven, how can you take care of things on earth? I can't do anything when the devil's cave comes.
, we can only try our best not to kill another person after coming." After that, he stood up.
Because she had something on her mind, she didn't really have a drink with Tang Zhao to rekindle old friendships, and Tang Zhao naturally understood.
Before leaving, she told Tang Zhao: "You wait here quietly for now, and don't worry about what we do. You will take action when the devil's cave comes. By then you should be able to feel the changes in the space. Or you may see the sky.
Full of red and white petals, you can find me wherever you go along the flower path."
Tang Zhao was startled and suddenly said: "Red and white petals - is my sister's sword a flying flower sword?"
Mai Shiyu smiled and said, "It's the Fangfei sword."
Leaving Tang Zhao, she took a deep breath and walked quietly through the empty street.
Sixty-seven out of ten ordinary people still live in the houses on both sides of the street. Those rich and powerful people have long since fled the city, and those who have relatives who can seek refuge have also left. The District Procuratorate has not strictly sealed the ban, and no one has hindered others.
The principle of survival. Those who are still here are the poor people who are rooted in the city and have nowhere to go. Real people, when encountering such a disaster, can only hide in their rooms and quietly pray for the danger to pass.
The lives of these people were handed over to the Procuratorate.
It is precisely because the annual inspection and prefecture officials have performed their duties in Yunzhou and the city has been well protected that the people trust them and stay where they are quietly, instead of running away at all costs and choosing to entrust their lives to them.
.
However... they don't know that some of them may suddenly be shattered to pieces in three to five days, and the District Procuratorate will not be able to protect them at all.
When he thought of this, Mai Shiyu felt so ashamed that he couldn't even raise his head to see people when walking on the street. He wished he could hide his face and run away.
It was obviously smooth when following the Xingzhen garrison in Yuxia County, so why did it become like this when we arrived in Zhaocheng? Whether it was the matter in the Demon's Nest or the matter in the department, it was both mentally and physically exhausting.
Alas, it would be great if the Xingzhen envoy was still here.
Suddenly, she felt a chill in her heart, turned around suddenly, applied Gang Qi to her hands, and grabbed something flying in the air.
The object seemed so light in my hand that it turned out to be a ball of paper.
Mai Shiyu frowned. Without taking a closer look, he first observed the surrounding environment. The houses nearby were ordinary and there were no traces of people on the walls. He listened carefully and did not hear any noticeable sounds.
The thrower is hiding?
With some vigilance, she opened the note, guarded her hands with Gangqi to protect against poison, and held her breath to protect against poisonous gas.
There are words and pictures on the note, and they are written densely.
When she saw the content for the first time, her eyes widened suddenly. She could hardly believe it. She tightened her hands and balled up the paper. She turned into an alley and made sure that no one was around before carefully unfolding it and reading again.
After confirming again and again, Mai Shiyu's breathing became heavy, and she almost reached out to draw her sword. But then, she calmed down and whispered word by word: "This matter is of great importance, and I cannot make my own decision."
Immediately afterwards, she rushed out of the alley and ran down the avenue like flying!
Her destination, of course, is the headquarters of the District Procuratorate in Zhaocheng.
