After Su Qian talked with everyone in Xuanfu, he went to meet with the officials in the capital.
After she left, Xiang Chun said to Zhang Yu: "Xuanshou, none of the people who came this time can be regarded as real Xuanxiu, and Captain Su was also vague. Is there anything in this..."
Zhang Yudao: "As long as you are from Tianxia, you don't need to distinguish whether the person coming is a mysterious cultivator or an ordinary person. Besides, after the local people saw the beacon tower, they also came to rescue us, didn't they?"
Xiang Chun said: "I'm just a little worried."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said: "I know what Senior Brother Xiang is worried about. However, when the general trend changes, one's will cannot be violated unless one person can change the world. Fortunately, monks like us are not helpless.
On this road of progress, as long as the Taoist mind remains unwavering, there will be disturbances from the rest, so what is there to fear?"
Xiang Chun nodded and said with emotion: "What Xuanshou said is that I am narrow-minded."
Zhang Yu glanced at the black dragon hovering above, as if guarding this territory, and said: "Go back and prepare to see how many people are leaving Dongting and returning to the mainland together."
On the other hand, when Su Qian faced the people of the capital, she was obviously not as enthusiastic as she was towards the people of the Xuanfu. She only showed her face and politely explained some words, and then left the specific matters to herself.
The deputy went to contact the administration.
The Protectorate was also prepared to give her a place to live, but she politely declined.
It's not that she doesn't like it, but it's a rule in Tianxia's army that no general in the army is allowed to give orders or stay overnight in any local government office.
If she does not strictly enforce the order, the battalion supervisor has the right to capture her immediately and order the deputy lieutenant to take over the command of the entire Guangye Battalion.
So after she said goodbye to the guards, a light flashed between her eyebrows, and a beautiful silver armor covered her body again. With just a little step, she soared into the sky and returned to her own silver light ship.
above.
After her feet stood on the platform, a portal spiraled open on the flying boat, and she walked in.
After arriving inside, bursts of mist suddenly floated up, covering her completely. After a while, the outer armor on her body separated as if it was dissolving, and she returned to the center of her eyebrows again.
After a while, the mist dissipated.
This is to isolate all kinds of tiny creatures and the light, sound, and color that do not belong to them. It is not just for cleaning up, but a necessary step that the Tianxia armies have concluded after long-term battles with foreign enemies.
She walked forward along the long cabin. There were many soldiers and followers in the flying boat. When they saw her coming back, they immediately stood against the wall and saluted respectfully.
Without squinting her eyes, she arrived at her own cabin at the bow of the boat.
The layout here is very simple. Apart from the necessary sleeping and sitting areas, there are only a few talismans hanging on the side door and a red cicada wing knot with long spikes.
She is not like those people who come from a family of military generals, who insist on making their cabins comfortable, gorgeous and beautiful, as long as they are simple and practical.
She walked under a pillar of light in the middle of the cabin, stretched out her hand and pressed it on a gracefully curved white jade on the high desk. In an instant, many pictures came into her mind.
What she is looking at now is the last document and roster delivered by the Dongting Protectorate sixty years ago. Most of them contain records about the upper-class people of the Protectorate. However, when it comes to the Xuanfu, there are only
The simplest name, surname and position, no specific information at all.
This is because Xuanfu is under the control of Xuanting and belongs to the highest position in the etiquette system. However, all the documents of Xuanxiu cannot be freely accessed by the military government or government agencies.
Unless it involves a serious conspiracy, this needs to be reported to Xuanting in advance and can only be reviewed after obtaining permission.
She had read these documents when she came to Dongting, but she only paid attention to Xuanshou. The others only had one name and no description, and she was too lazy to remember them.
But when she flipped through it, she found that there was no name of Zhang Yu, the leader of the generation, indicating that he had grown up in the past sixty years.
She thought for a while and called out: "Amo."
"I am here."
A clear and calm female voice appeared next to her, and what came out with her was a figure that looked like it was made of stardust.
This is her observer, responsible for observing people or things that she cannot notice during battle, and even the enemies' weaknesses.
Su Qian asked: "Amo, can you tell the power level of Zhang Xuan?"
Amo's clear voice echoed in the cabin, saying: "The aura of that Xuanshou is relatively deep and well restrained, so it is difficult to observe anything. It is initially inferred that he should be a middle-ranking monk."
Su Qian nodded, not surprised at all.
The Dongting Protectorate was a higher-level Protectorate a hundred years ago. At its peak, the number of middle-ranking cultivators reached twenty, and there were even traces of high-ranking cultivators.
To be able to control such a Xuan Mansion, Xuan Shou must be at least a middle-ranking monk.
She asked again: "Where are the others?"
"there is none left."
"Huh?" Su Qian was a little surprised, "What?"
Amo spoke calmly: "Except for Zhang Xuanshou, no one has reached the level of an intermediate monk."
Su Qian was surprised at first, and then fell silent. She could think of why.
"Colonel Lieutenant."
The attendant's voice sounded outside the cabin door.
Su Qian asked: "What's the matter?"
"Colonel, the deputy lieutenant has just received the file delivered by the Protectorate. It contains the major events that have happened in the past sixty years. We have sorted it out a little and asked the captain to review it."
Su Qian said: "Bring it in."
The cabin door opened, and a female attendant walked in holding a stack of papers. However, she didn't seem to notice "Amo" standing beside her. After putting down the papers, she bowed respectfully and left.
.
Su Qian opened the file and read it. It recorded the main events of the Dongting Protectorate in the past sixty years. After flipping through it, she had a general understanding of the situation in Dongting. She sighed: "This
It’s really not easy for Dongting Capital to persevere.”
However, she also noticed that the last paragraph of the volume was newly added, and it mainly recorded what Dai Xuan and Zhang Yu had done.
After sixty years of hard work in the Dongting Protectorate, we still encountered several situations of collapse. In the end, it can be said that Zhang Yu turned it over with his own strength.
Su Qian closed the volume and stood up. With a wave of her hand, the bulkhead in front of her seemed to melt away. The Ruiguang City below, the land, mountains and rivers in the distance, and the vast sea suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
Then she looked in the direction of Anshan, and could see that beyond that was the endless land, which was still shrouded by the turbid tide, as if covered with a layer of mysterious mist.
After reading the description in the volume, she was full of curiosity about the place and wanted to go there to find out.
But even the Guangye camp could not penetrate deep into the turbid tide without guidance, and military orders did not allow her to do so, so she could only give up with regret.
At this moment, in front of the Wangxia Terrace on the terrace of the inner city of Ruiguang, a pretty girl wearing glasses stood here. Her hair was just tied randomly at the back, and she held a smooth jade board in her arms. She dotted and scratched on it from time to time.
Then take the paper and press it to form words, and then distribute them.
Beside her, there were also many administrative officials and several teachers and teachers from Taiyang Academy.
Liu Guang was also among them at this time. He looked at the jade plate in the girl's hand and recognized that this kind of thing was called "Tuoyu". Originally, only the Xuanfu Xuanxiu could use it, but he didn't expect it to be used in the military now.
Up.
Accompanied by everyone, the girl walked around the Wangxia Tower, then came out and said to everyone: "This beacon tower is a hundred years old and needs to be reinforced and repaired. Oh, you don't need to use your money."
We have brought a lot of supplies, it doesn’t matter if we use too much, well, we can all repay them later.”
An official heard this and tried to ask, only to find out that if the lost Protectorate kept its land and worked hard, not only would it not have to pay taxes, but the Tianxia native land would also provide some subsidies, but it was not in the form of money.
Instead, it helps to replace various outdated production supplies, and things like berthing ports, mines, workshops, etc. are also included.
The girl looked at the beacon tower, held up her chin with a pen, and said, "By the way, another 'watching instrument' needs to be built here."
Liu Guang asked: "What is 'Wangyi'?"
The girl said: "The explanation is not very clear, but it can be roughly regarded as a bridge to communicate within the turbid tide. For example, it took Qingyangzhou a full sixty-six days from seeing the Dongting beacon to us coming here.
This is because of the influence of the turbid tide, we have to repeatedly adjust the direction, but if the situation is critical, it will definitely be too late, but with the 'Wangyi', the fastest flying boat may only take a few days to get here."
Liu Guang nodded and said, "Then we want to build one."
The girl raised her hand to cover the light on the top, and looked at Mount Chigris in the distance, "But it's really interesting to use the entire peak as a beacon. It should be the work of Master Guo back then."
At this point, she seemed to remember something and said: "Well, also, we need to build a sky boat parking platform to park all our flying boats." She pointed forward, "I think that's a good place."
.”
Everyone looked over and saw that it was in the direction of Anshan. The official hesitated and said, "That's Anshan. There are many natives there, as well as many supernatural gods."
The girl said: "It doesn't matter, I can submit the application form and let Guangye camp help clean it up."
"Is Guangye Camp very powerful?" A child's voice suddenly came out.
The girl lowered her head and saw a child under ten years old. She raised her glasses unconsciously. A child?
She wondered: "Why are there children here?"
The person accompanying the child said displeasedly: "That's rude, this is the governor."
"Grand Governor?"
The girl was startled. In terms of rank, the Governor was one level higher than Su Qian. She hurriedly put down her things, bowed to him and said, "Qiu Ran has met the Governor."
Yang Jue said: "No need to be polite." He looked at the flying boats suspended in the sky, with curiosity in his eyes, and pointed: "There, can I go up and take a look?"
Qiuran said regretfully: "I'm afraid not."
After seeing Yang Jue's disappointed expression, she smiled slyly and said, "But if the Grand Governor is comforting the soldiers of Guangye Camp in the name of the capital, that's a different matter. They will never stop you.
