Early the next morning, Lin Ji left Lin Mansion after having breakfast at home.
Because he had to travel far away again, before leaving, Lin Ji made a special trip to the Lu Mansion to inquire about Lu Zhaoer's news.
Then he was stopped by Lu Guogong, who had gotten up early.
"You haven't returned to Beijing for more than a month and have to go out again?" Lu Guangmu frowned slightly, seeming to be a little dissatisfied with Lin Ji being so busy.
"Mr. Lu Guo, this is Lord Fang's errand." Lin Ji explained.
Moreover, he also wondered why Lu Guangmu was dissatisfied with him when he was working in the Supervisory Office.
Is it because I don’t have time to spend time with Lu Zhaoer?
But Lu Zhaoer is not in the capital either.
Lu Guangmu said: "Lin Ji, when are you going to get engaged to Zhao'er? This matter was ordered by His Majesty. It has been delayed for half a year. Are you still planning to delay it?"
Lin Ji secretly thought that this was indeed the case.
It's just that it doesn't matter what he said.
"Mr. Lu Guo, Zhao'er and I both hold important positions in Tiantiansi... If we are engaged, Lin doesn't care, but Zhao'er is the daughter of the Lu family and has to entertain many dignitaries.
Monthly preparations.”
"You think it's troublesome?" Mr. Lu Guogong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Give me a guarantee. You don't need to worry about this matter. You just need to show up when the time comes."
Lin Ji's heart moved slightly.
Although they had talked about this before, both he and Lu Zhaoer had said that they were not in a hurry.
Lu Guangmu did not force him at that time.
But now, why are the old things suddenly brought up again?
After thinking for a moment, Lin Ji guessed: "Mr. Lu Guo, is there anyone in the capital gossiping?"
Sure enough, Lu Guogong's expression changed slightly.
"snort."
Lin Ji's tone became colder, not directed at Lu Guogong, but at those who gossiped.
"Who said it and what did they say?"
Lu Guogong waved his hands, obviously unwilling to discuss this topic.
"In short, I don't want to force you and Zhao'er on this matter, but you must also come up with a charter."
After a pause, Lu Guogong emphasized his tone again.
"Or are you still thinking about the girl from the Zhong family in Xiangzhou?"
I can't accept this.
If he denies it, Lin Ji himself won't believe it.
But if he admitted it, Lu Guangmu would be embarrassed, and Lin Ji didn't know how to face Lu Zhaoer.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Ji simply stood up.
"I will mention the marriage to Zhaoer the next time we meet. Mr. Lu Guogong and Lin have errands to attend to, and Mr. Fang is still waiting at the general office..."
"I understand, go ahead." Lu Guogong waved his hand.
Lin Ji bowed slightly, turned around and left.
After leaving Lu Mansion, Lin Ji couldn't help but sigh, feeling troubled.
It's not the marriage to Lu Zhaoer, but the constraints everywhere in this capital, and there are always people who can overwhelm him.
"Master Fang said that he would transfer me to Weizhou as a town official in the future. I was a little reluctant before, but now it seems that it is better for the emperor to stay away."
...
Supervisor Tiansi, general office.
Fang Yunshan study room.
Lin Ji waited in the study for less than a quarter of an hour when Fang Yunshan's voice rang out.
"come in."
"Yes." Lin Ji responded.
After walking into the study room, he saw a small box placed on Fang Yunshan's table. He placed one hand on the box, with a look of thought and hesitation on his face.
After seeing Lin Ji, Fang Yunshan picked up the small box and handed it to Lin Ji.
"Sir, is this what I want you to hand over to Lord Zhan?"
"That's right, put it away." Fang Yunshan nodded slightly.
Lin Ji looked at the small box, curious about what it was.
After all, given his status and asking him to make a special trip, the things in this box should not be simple.
But since Fang Yunshan had no intention of explaining, Lin Ji couldn't ask further questions, so he could only put the small box into Qiankun in his sleeve.
"Let's go to Liangzhou, deliver things first, and then pick up those ghosts." Fang Yunshan ordered.
"I understand, I understand." Lin Ji responded.
It seems that the contents of that box are indeed unusual.
"If there is nothing else, you should leave now. Although this matter is not urgent, don't delay. Zhan Chengfeng has urged us several times." Fang Yunshan said again.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ji bowed and prepared to leave.
But after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped again.
"Sir, do you know where Senior Huo Bubiao went?"
His Thunder Cloud Bead was still in Huo Bubia's hand, but the old man suddenly disappeared. Lin Ji felt that Fang Yunshan should know.
"Why, he's gone? Didn't I promise that I would wait for you to get the Thunder Cloud Bead..." Fang Yunshan was a little surprised.
Seeing Lin Ji's helpless look, he said: "There have been some changes in Xiangzhou Tiangongfang. Huo Buxi came from Tiangongfang, so he greeted me a few days ago and said he was going to Xiangzhou.
."
"What about my Thunder Cloud Pearl?" Lin Ji felt helpless.
Once this group of followers leaves, who knows when they will come back.
"He said that the tempering of the Thunder Cloud Bead cannot be stopped, so he agreed to wait until you get the Thunder Cloud Bead before leaving. Since he didn't wait for you, it seems that the matter is urgent, so we can only take one step first."
After a pause, Fang Yunshan said: "If you are in a hurry, just go to Xiangzhou in person after finishing the matter in Liangzhou."
"Don't be in a hurry. I think Senior Huo won't be greedy for things belonging to a junior like me."
Compared to Lei Yunzhu, Lin Ji is more afraid of trouble.
After saluting again, Lin Ji first returned to the Commander-in-Chief to say hello, and then, under Wang Zheng's resentful eyes, he called Xiaoying, who had been waiting for a long time, and left the Tiantiansi General Office together.
"Xiaoying, when did you become Master Shen's disciple?" Lin Ji casually asked before leaving the city.
"It's up to you...Uncle Lin, it's been a few years. I was picked up by Master." Xiaoying subconsciously wanted to quarrel, but she quickly remembered the loss she suffered yesterday, so she quickly changed her mind.
She stayed at the Commander's Division last night and had already inquired a lot about Lin Ji. She also knew that this seemingly young junior uncle was a very important figure in the Tiantian Division.
Countless great demons and Japanese monks died in his hands.
Naturally, she wouldn't dare to mess with such a person.
It's okay to be a bitch, but it's okay to be beaten.
"You changed your tune pretty quickly." Lin Ji laughed dumbly, "Picked it back up? Tell me about it."
"Master passed by Pingyao County and saw me being bullied, so he acted righteously and rescued me." When Xiaoying talked about this, her eyes shone with nostalgia.
"Then Master said that I had the talent for cultivation and asked me if I would like to become his teacher. I said I was not willing."
"Don't want to? Then how..."
"Master said that you can either worship him as your master, or kill me, find someone to take over my body, and then worship him as your master." Xiaoying blushed in embarrassment.
Lin Ji really didn't know where this shyness lay.
And Shen Tianguan.
Although it sounds like just scaring people.
Why do you think this behavior looks like someone from the evil way?
But what surprised Lin Ji even more was that Xiaoying had only been studying with Shen Long for three to five years, but she had been upgraded from an ordinary weak woman to the night travel realm. This cultivation speed was not much faster than her own.
!
Sure enough, this girl is still a genius in cultivation!
