In the study room, Lin Ji pushed Zhong Xiaoyan into the seat behind the desk where he usually sat.
He and Geng Mu sat opposite each other at the tea table on one side.
Geng Mu took out three secret letters. There were simple formations on the envelopes. The method of opening them was wrong. The letters were just self-immolation on the spot.
Lin Ji took out the town word order and scanned it on the letter. The formations on the three letters were immediately unlocked.
He picked up the first letter and glanced at it twice.
"It's from Jingli."
After quickly reading the contents of the letter, Lin Ji handed the letter to Geng Mu, and then said, "Do you know the ruins of the demon clan in the south?"
"Never heard of it." Geng Mu shook his head.
Lin Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "Weizhou is really... closed to information. A few months ago in the capital, a group of Qingqiu Fox Clan came from Yunzhou to the south. They opened a brothel when they passed by the capital, causing a lot of commotion.
of."
"The letter said that there have been changes in the ruins in the south. The demon kingdom originally wanted to join forces with Da Qin to explore the ruins of the demon clan, but it happened that the ruins were related to the dragon clan... I originally thought that this matter would not cause too many troubles. Who would have thought that there would be no trouble in the south?
This true dragon is so powerful that it directly goes to war with several big clans in the Demon Kingdom."
At the same time, Geng Mu also finished reading the letter.
"This matter has nothing to do with Da Qin, right? The letter just said that Da Qin participated in the exploration of the ruins and there is no further explanation... Anyway, it is also an internal fight between the demon clans. What do they have to do with me and others to fight for life and death?"
"Even the True Dragon of the Eighth Realm came forward in person. The demon clan ruins will not be simple. Da Qin will definitely not let it go easily. Just watch... After that, either You Tianguan from the general office will take action, or...
For the Taoist offerings raised by the royal family, someone else has to get a share of the pie."
"Want to get involved in the demon clan's war?"
"It's good, the higher ups won't let it go."
"What if it offends the Demon Kingdom?"
"Then let's fight. No matter which side suffers a loss, it must regain its face. The high-level monks will not show off their face, but they will only suffer the people below who are doing the errands." Lin Ji sighed softly.
The matter of the ruins in the south was too far away from Victoria, and it was definitely not Lin Ji's turn to get involved, so he stopped paying attention after a casual chat.
The content of the second letter made Lin Ji think a lot.
"Although we have known for a long time that the barbarians from the north are going to invade Yunzhou, it still feels a bit unreal when we actually see the war in Yunzhou begin." Lin Ji murmured.
The letter said that the war between the barbarians and the Zhenbei Army had been going on for some time. After several battles and countless corpses, the two sides were still facing off.
It's said to be a confrontation, but the battlefield is within Yunzhou.
Lin Ji recalled the cruel scenes he saw when he was in Yunzhou after the barbarians burned, killed and looted.
"When there is a war, it is the common people who suffer." Geng Mu also sighed a little.
He had experienced the era when Victoria was ruled by Tantric Buddhism, so he could better understand the suffering of the people who were displaced.
"There is no solution to this matter. The barbarians are in the northern wilderness, and the Qin Dynasty will definitely not be able to take over that barren land. It is precisely because of this that the barbarians are unscrupulous and go south every year."
"Can't we let high-level monks go directly to Huanglong?"
Lin Ji shook his head.
"The barbarians also have the Holy Fire Cult. Even if Great Qin can win, the price paid will be too high."
"It is better to settle once and for all than to start a war every year."
Lin Ji's face showed a bit of sarcasm.
"It's only the common people who are suffering. It's too late for monks to devote themselves to cultivation, so how can they have time to help the common people work hard?"
Hearing these words, Geng Mu was speechless.
Lin Ji took out the third letter.
He is also from Yunzhou.
The first sentence in the letter made Lin Ji's eyes fluctuate for a moment.
‘Lin Ji, seeing words is like meeting each other.’
"It's Zhao'er's letter." Lin Ji murmured to himself.
"Is that Miss Lu Zhaoer?" Zhong Xiaoyan heard Lin Ji's voice and asked with some concern.
She had kept quiet before, not wanting to disturb Lin Ji.
But at this time, I finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Lin Ji looked back at Zhong Xiaoyan. There was nothing to hesitate about, and he came directly to Zhong Xiaoyan with the letter in hand.
"Let's take a look together."
'I am well in Yunzhou, and I have taken the post of commander in the government office. Mr. Qin takes good care of me. I usually do some small errands on weekdays. Although it is boring, it is not thrilling. I think it should be appropriate.
Is that what you want?'
'The barbarians from the north have come down. I followed my father's team to the front lines and participated in several battles. This was the first time I saw so many dead people.'
'There were piles of corpses on the ground, including those from the barbarians and those from the Zhenbei Army. They were mixed together. No one collected the corpses. It was just the monks in the army who kicked up the dust and buried them wantonly.'
'Then I was driven back by my father.'
'There was a dude in Yuncheng who was pestering me. I was annoyed by his entanglement, so I chopped off his hand. Who would have thought that the dude was so useless that he would die before the doctor arrived. I didn't want to kill him.
his.'
'That dude's father told me that he wanted me to be buried with his son. Mr. Qin protected me and killed the dude's family. He just found any excuse to get rid of it, and his family became heinous criminals.'
'I don't think this is good. Although the dude was unreasonable first, in the end it was me who hurt people first. I killed their family because of this, and I always feel that something is wrong, but things have become like this, and it's hard to say anything else, so I just
I can recognize it.'
'I don't like this, but there's nothing I can do about it.'
'This letter was written after this incident. I thought of you for no reason, so I was curious about how you would respond if it were you.'
'I always feel like I can't control my temper lately, and I can't figure out the reason.'
'That's enough gossip. This is my first time writing to someone. I write whatever comes to my mind. It may be a little messy, but I guess you won't care.'
'Lin Ji, after several months of separation, have you ever thought of me for a moment in your free time?'
Lu Zhaoer's letter ended here. Seeing the increasingly messy handwriting at the end, Lin Ji could almost imagine how nervous Lu Zhaoer must have been when he wrote this letter.
Lin Ji stuffed the letter paper back into the envelope, put the letter away, and looked at Zhong Xiaoyan.
"This Miss Lu...has a bad temper?" Zhong Xiaoyan didn't know what to say.
"Not really, she said it simply in the letter, but that dandy thing must have forced her to do nothing before she took action angrily... She doesn't have the temperament to bully ordinary people." Lin Ji chuckled.
Zhong Xiaoyan pursed her lips.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll be jealous when you defend Miss Lu like this in front of me?"
"Aren't you jealous if I don't defend her?" Lin Ji touched Zhong Xiaoyan's long hair, "Why don't you write a letter to ask her? You are following me, but she is far away in Yunzhou. She
Will you be jealous?"
Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoyan lost her temper.
Especially when she felt Lin Ji's fingers brushing against the ends of her hair, any anger she felt in her heart disappeared without a trace.
Lin Ji stood up and looked at Geng Mu.
"I'll take her to settle down first, and you can go ahead."
"I am resigning."
After Geng Mu left, Lin Ji led Zhong Xiaoyan towards the backyard.
"What do you want to eat later? I'll cook it myself."
"Bring on all your skills. You've been running for your life with that idiot Zhong Lei all the way, and you haven't been safe for a few days."
"I gave Zhong Lei small shoes before. Do you have any objection? After all, he is your clan brother."
"If he were not my clan brother, I would have burnt him to ashes with Lihuo."
