Although all the killers who caught up had been killed by Jie Nanshi on the street, there was a lot of movement. Anyone who cared enough to investigate would know that the beggar Xiao Qi is now in the Song Mansion.
Song Yu and Xie Nanshi originally thought that they would encounter a wave of assassinations at night, but they did not expect that the night would be spent very peacefully.
Early the next morning, Song Yu prepared small gifts and prepared to visit the guests he had invited one by one, especially those from the sect. There was only one purpose. If the outcome could not be changed, then he hoped to arouse the precautionary awareness of these people in advance.
, to recover losses as much as possible.
"Has Elder Ming ever heard about the appearance of strange ghosts in the city?" Song Yu took a sip of tea and went straight to the topic. This was the fifteenth time he mentioned this sentence in the day.
Ming Yuyuan is an elder of the Danchen sect. This sect masters the practice of cultivating elixirs for longevity, and uses the art of star gossip to predict good and bad luck. Basically he does not participate in the battles with strange ghosts and beasts, but he is very important to the entire Taoist sect.
It occupies an important position among them.
Not to mention that the elixirs of alchemy can assist in spiritual practice, even the matter of predicting good or bad luck is enough for everyone to praise.
Ming Yuyuan touched his beard, which was as white as fresh snow, and looked very kind: "The Department of Safety asked me to calculate this matter a few days ago, but the calculation result is that although there are strange ghosts sneaking into the city, Yongxi has an array.
The legal protection will not cause too much damage. Master Song can rest assured that even if we are really attacked by the White Walkers, we and other monks will guard this place and we will not let the White Walkers wreak havoc."
Song Yu sneered twice in his heart. Last week, this old man was the first to abandon the people and flee here because he was not a combatant. But his eyes were full of admiration, and he flattered with a smile: "Alright?
It’s a good thing that Yongxi Prefecture has a capable man like Elder Ming stationed there…”
By the time Song Yu left the Danchen faction's station, the sun was almost setting.
"Sir, where are we going next?" Ahan had been waiting at the door to guard the carriage. When he saw Song Yu coming out, he quickly drove forward.
Song Yu raised his eyes and looked at the most majestic building in the center of Yongxi Prefecture - the Prefecture Lord's Mansion. "Of course, the most important place must be visited as the finale."
The person who opened the door of the governor's mansion was still Liao Fengshi from yesterday. When he saw that the person coming was Song Yu, he first showed a surprised look, and then quickly opened the door. "Master Song, please come in quickly."
Song Yu bowed down, handed the gift in Ahan's hand to Liao Changzhi, and said: "There was an unexpected change at home yesterday, and the housewarming banquet was canceled. Today I came to visit the governor and deputy governor to apologize to them.
.”
When Song Yu came to the governor's mansion, he specifically singled out the deputy governor, proving that he had heard everything Liao Changzhi said yesterday. Since it was the deputy governor who came to deliver a gift yesterday, this apology should naturally have a vice.
The governor's share.
Liao Changzhi looked much happier as expected, and directly introduced Song Yu into the main hall: "The state leader is still practicing in seclusion and does not see outsiders. However, the deputy state leader is in the mansion at this time. Mr. Song will wait inside for a while. Let me go and inform you first."
"Excuse me, Mr. Liao." Song Yu answered with a smile and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief after the person left. After the day's socializing, he felt that his face was stiff with smiles.
It would be great if Qiaoyi could wake up soon. She could say a lot about these scenes for herself. As for the people in his family now...except for Miss Ren Wan, no one can take the blame, but Ren Wan
It is impossible for a girl to spare time to accompany him everywhere to socialize.
In fact, it’s not impossible. Maybe you can just take Jie Nanshi with you!
Just when Song Yu was thinking wildly, Deputy Governor Liu Huaijun walked in from the outside with his hands behind his back. He looked like he was about 20 years old, his facial features were very upright and elegant, and he was wearing a red official uniform. From the appearance, he looked like a gentleman.
appearance.
If he hadn't listened to what Xiao Qi said, Song Yu's first reaction would have been to regard him as a good person. But if these assassinations were all done by the deputy governor, and even sent his men to his house to set fire to arrest people, why would he
Face yourself so calmly?
Of course, Song Yu didn't listen to what Xiao Qi said. Whether it was good or bad would have to be proven by evidence.
Liu Huaijun naturally sat on the main seat and asked his servants to come over to watch the tea. Then he asked: "Liu heard that there was a fire in Lord Song's house. Did it have any impact?"
Song Yu responded with a smile: "Excuse me, Master Liuzhou, but the fire was not big and it was extinguished soon."
His address as Lord of Liuzhou obviously pleased the other party, and Liu Huaijun's expression softened a lot: "Sir Song has just come to Yongxi. If you need anything, you can always come to the mansion of the Lord of Zhou."
"There is really something I want to ask Lord Liuzhou." Song Yu kept smiling, but said it bluntly: "Lord Liuzhou should know that the recent frequent incidents of strange ghosts in the state prove that there are loopholes in the state gate formation..."
Liu Huaijun frowned and interrupted Song Yu: "The matter of strange ghosts should be handled by the Department of Safety, and I am not in a position to intervene."
Song Yu held the tea cup with both hands and waited quietly for Liu Huaijun to finish: "The Lord of Liuzhou has misunderstood. I am not asking the Lord of the state to investigate the White Walkers, but to ask the Lord of Liuzhou to cooperate with the major sects to strengthen the state gate formations to prevent the invasion of the White Walkers.
"
Liu Huaijun raised his eyelids slightly, as if he was surprised by Song Yu's request. He looked at Song Yu silently, his originally gentle eyes suddenly became sharp, but it only took a moment to regain his gentle look: "Master Song, what is this for?"
It is my duty to ask for orders from the people. But how do you want me to be strengthened, Mr. Song?"
"The state gate formation is controlled by the seal. It stands to reason that as long as there is no problem with the seal, any ghost should be stopped outside the city..."
Song Yu deliberately paused for a moment when he spoke. Seeing that Liu Huaijun was still listening and there was nothing unusual, he secretly sighed in his heart like an old fox and continued: "If you want to consolidate the formation and track down the alien ghosts entering the city, you need to get the seal from
Get it."
"What Master Song means is that there is something wrong with Yongxi's seal?" Liu Huaijun didn't wait for Song Yu to refute, and said with a smile: "But the seal has always been in the hands of the state leader, and I have no right to interfere."
Naturally, Song Yu didn't expect to be able to ask anything: "Master Liu misunderstood, what I mean is, can the source of the White Walkers be traced from the seal?"
"I understand, I will send someone to investigate this." Liu Huaijun held his chin with one hand and asked casually: "But Mr. Song is in the Safety Department, and I heard that Mr. Zhou from the Safety Department also trusts Mr. Song.
Jia, why don’t you know how to trace it from the Safety Department?”
Song Yu stared at Liu Huaijun's eyes and smiled: "The official is taking the liberty, and the official from the Department of Safety will naturally investigate."
Liu Huaijun looked at Song Yu, his eyes seemed to have deep meaning: "This is very good."
Seeing that Liu Huaijun had no intention of talking again, Song Yu secretly sighed in his heart. If what the beggar Xiao Qi said was true, then the deputy governor was so calm that he never mentioned that he would be going there yesterday.
The matter of the little beggar being brought into the house.
However, they were not in a hurry, and he was not in a hurry either. Let's see who can outlast the other. Song Yu raised his hand and took a sip of tea, then put the tea cup on the coffee table aside: "The tea is ready. Thank you very much, Master Liuzhou. I will send you the official message."
I won’t disturb you and I’ll take my leave.” He said this as if he was really just here to drink tea.
"Master Song, walk slowly." Liu Huaijun stood up and sent the person to the door.
"Lord Liuzhou, stay here." Song Yu's head almost ached from socializing. He was afraid that Deputy Governor Liu would follow him, so he strode out of the mansion of the state lord.
Liu Huaijun watched Song Yu leave. Liao Changzhi walked out from the corner and bowed to Liu Huaijun: "State Lord."
Liu Huaijun withdrew his gaze: "We are keeping an eye on them. Find an opportunity to take them away as soon as possible." He said with a pause in his voice: "If there is no chance, just get rid of everyone who needs to be eliminated."
"Yes." Liao Changzhi responded and retreated into the shadow of the corner again.
…
As soon as Song Yu entered the carriage, he saw Jie Nanshi sitting inside.
Naturally, it was impossible for a godlike figure like him to accompany Song Yu to social events one by one, but at least he appeared when he might be in danger. Song Yu looked at the State Lord's Mansion outside the carriage and felt an inexplicable feeling of relief in his heart.
He has finally grown this thigh into a half-cooked one.
Xie Nanshi looked at Song Yu with puzzled eyes. After the man got on the carriage and saw him, his expression was first surprised, and then inexplicably relieved. There were so many changes that it made people think that there might be something wrong with him.
Fortunately, Song Yu's psychological activity only appeared for a short time, and he turned the topic back to the main topic: "They said that the state leader is in seclusion and does not see guests."
Xie Nanshi frowned, but there was nothing wrong with this rhetoric. With the appearance of the White Walkers, the spiritual energy of the entire continent was revived, Taoism re-emerged, and even gradually realized immortality. Through this, many practitioners became addicted to cultivation, and even
The original government affairs were abandoned.
Song Yu put down the curtain that blocked the light and leaned on his seat. He was very unsteady, which was in sharp contrast to Jie Nanshi who was sitting upright next to him. "If nothing else, this deputy governor Liu Huaijun is indeed very good.
Like the owner of this state palace."
Xie Nanshi was noncommittal and turned to the news he had discovered today: "There has been no incident of a foreign ghost entering the city in Yongxi Prefecture for thirty years, and there have only been two attacks on people by a foreign ghost recently."
This probably refers to the two times when Song Yu rescued Xiao Qi. Because they made too much noise, everyone knew about it. If we add in the fact that when Xie Nanshi traced the whereabouts of Xiao Qi yesterday, he killed those
There were only three strange ghosts in Yongxi Prefecture, and they were all heading towards Xiao Qi.
Song Yu obviously also understood the unfinished meaning of Xie Nanshi's words: "The purpose is so clear, just because he saw a conspiracy?"
The purpose of the White Walkers is obviously Xiao Qi. As long as Xiao Qi is in the house, he will be able to figure it out sooner or later. However, when the White Walkers and strange beasts jointly attack the city later, they still have to make complete preparations in advance.
Although Song Yu has tried hard to remind the garrison of various sects today, whether it can attract the attention of the other party is probably a matter of metaphysics.
"I will go out of the city tomorrow to investigate." Xie Nanshi added, "You stay in the house and don't go out."
Since a large number of strange beasts have gathered, it is impossible that there are no signs outside the city. If there is credible evidence, those sects will not continue to ignore it.
Song Yu paused and asked seriously: "Would you mind bringing an extra oil bottle?"
