Naturally, the young Abao did not dare to disobey Lin Ji.
That day, after he walked all the way up to Lin Ji with his nose raised, he was already scared out of his wits by Lin Ji.
They say he is as timid as a mouse. He is a mouse, and he was so frightened that he did not dare to make mistakes.
Seeing the cold sword in Lin Ji's hand, Abao shrank his neck and stepped aside.
"You're so unlucky!" The girl was indignant and started to grab A Bao's hair.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ji felt his head was spinning.
"That's all, I didn't mean to catch you, just leave if you want." Lin Ji waved to the girl impatiently.
Seeing this, the girl's face lit up with joy, and then she looked at Abao, who was holding her hair.
"What about him?"
"Do you think he can leave now that I know who he is?" Lin Ji said in surprise, "If you stay with me, you won't have to worry about food or clothing, and no one will dare to care about you! Let this kid think about it.
Have the ancestors of their treasure-hunting rat clan ever been so wealthy?"
The girl was speechless and looked at Abao.
Abao shook his head.
"Sister Ling, Mr. Lin is telling the truth. During these days in the capital, I have enough food and clothing every day, and I don't have to worry about being arrested. My life is better than before."
"You're not living up to expectations!" The girl cursed angrily, but let go of her hand holding Abao's hair.
"If he doesn't leave, I won't leave either. The Moon Shadow Cat Clan has always taken care of the Treasure Hunting Rat Clan, so I have to take care of him!"
Lin Ji was a little surprised when he heard this.
"You still have this kind of relationship?"
Seeing that neither the girl nor Abao answered, Lin Ji didn't care either.
"That's all, just stay. It's also a good thing to have more maids in the house. You will be called A Ling from now on."
"What an unpleasant name." The girl frowned.
"Then I'll call you Silly Cat."
"Let's go with Ah Ling, Ah Ling sounds good."
...
In a blink of an eye, the time has come to afternoon.
Lin Ji went to Lu Mansion and said hello to Duke Lu.
Not long after he returned home, Lu Zhaoer came to the door.
"You just came back today?" Lu Zhaoer was still wearing the official uniform of You Xingguan, and the sword on his back was still stained with blood.
"Yes, I won't be back until this morning." Lin Ji responded, his eyes always lingering on the knife behind her back.
Seeing this, Lu Zhaoer said: "A little eucalyptus is not worth mentioning."
Lin Ji smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
After pouring tea for Lu Zhaoer, Lin Ji was originally going to talk about his marriage to Lu Zhaoer.
After all, when he left the capital before, Lu Guangmu specifically mentioned this matter to him, and also revealed that there were some faint rumors circulating in the capital.
Although these words have not reached Lin Ji's ears, Lin Ji does not want Lu Zhaoer to be wronged.
After all, there is no way to escape.
But before Lin Ji could say anything, Lu Zhaoer took the lead and said, "You just came back this morning, and you haven't gone to the main office yet, right?"
"No, I'm going to go again tomorrow, what's wrong?" Lin Ji noticed the change in Lu Zhaoer's face.
"It seems that things have changed in Supervisor Tiansi during your absence these days."
"Changing weather?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows.
Lu Zhaoer said: "The town official in the capital has already been selected, and he is named Tian Qi."
"Tian Qi? Never heard of it."
"A member of the Qin family, the adopted son of the late emperor... This is the saying in the palace." Lu Zhaoer whispered, "But when I have been dealing with him these past few days, I see that he has a cold expression and a dull attitude. It doesn't seem like he will be attracted by Qin."
Someone the family likes."
Lin Ji didn't speak and listened quietly.
"Tian Qiyi made drastic changes as soon as he took office. He transferred many old people from Jingzhou Prefecture to other places. Although they were given serious errands,... he could send people from Jingzhou to other states to do errands.
, do you think this is normal?”
Lin Ji sighed slightly and patted the back of Lu Zhaoer's hand on the table.
"It is the biggest abnormality for someone from the Qin family to enter the Tiantian Division."
Even Lin Ji knew that for thousands of years, no one from the royal family had ever served in the Tianjian Division, not even the lowest level head-hunter.
Qin Jinsong from Yunzhou is already an exception, but Qin Jinsong has not had any contact with the Qin family for many years, and seems to have some vague grudges, so he is no longer a member of the Qin family.
Moreover, Qin Jinsong climbed up from the lowest level of demon hunter to his current position step by step in Supervisor Tiansi.
But this Tian Qi was airborne.
Lin Ji didn't want to pay attention to the twists and turns, and turned to look at Lu Zhaoer with a little worry.
"You are Official Youxing and are in charge of the general government office. Although you are sent to the Jingzhou government office on errands, you don't have to listen to Tian Qi's words, right?"
Lu Zhaoer heard the concern in Lin Ji's tone, and she smiled slightly.
"Don't worry about me, I already have a place to go."
"Where to go?"
"Yunzhou."
"You...are going to Yunzhou? Are you going to work for Qin Jinsong? What does your father mean?"
Lin Jike still remembered that Qin Jinsong and Lu Nanting were acquaintances, and they were dishonest about the fire envoy and cheated him.
"It was grandpa's wish. He said that the capital is now a place of right and wrong, so he asked me to stay away from the capital." Lu Zhaoer said.
After hearing this, Lin Ji thought about it and thought it was a good thing.
"Although a war is about to begin in Yunzhou, with your father here, I hope you will be safe and sound."
"We are all on duty in the Supervisory Office, so we don't have to worry about life and death so much."
"If you don't care about yourself, you should always think about others." Lin Ji said with some dissatisfaction.
After hearing this, Lu Zhaoer narrowed his eyes with a smile.
"okay, I get it."
After she finished speaking, she turned her palms and pressed Lin Ji's hands underneath.
"It's not just me. You should also be careful in the capital. In the eyes of outsiders, you and Mr. Fang are now together, and Mr. Fang... he seems to be getting weirder and weirder."
Lin Ji knew what strangeness Lu Zhaoer was talking about.
He often follows Fang Yunshan, and he has long realized that Fang Yunshan no longer has any sense of belonging to Jian Tiansi.
Maybe it's because his cultivation has reached a certain level, or maybe the situation is becoming increasingly pressing, which makes him annoyed.
But Lin Ji couldn't say these words carelessly.
He could only whisper: "I won't be in the capital soon. Mr. Fang asked me to fill the vacancy of the Weizhou town official."
"Go to Weizhou." Lu Zhaoer nodded.
She looked at Lin Ji for a long time and finally moved her hand away from the table.
"It's only been two years."
Lin Ji understood what she was talking about.
"Two years is not a short time."
"Two years ago, you were only the sixth-rank chief arrester of Liangzhou. Now two years later, you will be promoted to the third-rank town official."
Speaking of this, Lu Zhaoer said helplessly: "Why can't we catch up?"
Lin Ji was silent and put his hand on his chest subconsciously.
He still doesn't understand the origin of the Karma Book.
Just eliminating evil and promoting good? It can't really be that simple.
"When are you leaving?" Lin Ji raised his head and asked.
Lu Zhaoer smiled, stood up, put his hand on Lin Ji's shoulder, and seemed to accidentally touch his face with his fingers.
