As the years pass, the encounters become more severe.
Last year, Wang Dongyang was seriously injured and wanted to retire. This year, it was Locke's turn to die.
There is no force closer than the Inspection Department.
This is the power that Song Zhongkai holds alone.
Retirement made him reluctant to leave, and death made him sad.
No matter how strong a person is, it will be difficult to support him without helpers. A single tree cannot make a forest.
Only by watching his successors grow up could Song Zhongkai be comforted and feel more at ease.
Xu Zhi is obviously the pillar of Dongyue in the future.
Watching growth, watching becoming stronger.
Just like some of the much-anticipated geniuses back then.
Xu Zhi's brilliance was so dazzling that his previous geniuses eclipsed him.
Whether it is the unruly Ding Wenrui, the calm Wang Dong, or even the indifferent Huang Putu, the enterprising Yan Xuankong and others.
No one has done so much at Xu Zhi's age.
No one at this age has this kind of strength.
Song Zhongkai didn't believe that Yan Xuankong's disciples were that strong.
If it was really so strong, why did Qian Tong never reach the top of the Four Nations Exchange Tournament after playing it one after another?
Qian Tong can only be considered a good person, but he is far from a top talent.
Just like the training of a large family, the next generation is in the shadow of the previous generation, and it is extremely difficult to surpass it. It will be difficult for at least two or three generations to stand out. Only when the elders grow old can they have a little chance to transcend.
This is a common problem among large families.
Most of the descendants can at best be regarded as inheriting the inheritance from their fathers.
The turning point of things happened when Yan Xuankong accepted the second disciple.
This is a glorious beginning and a turning point for many things.
More importantly, Xu Zhi is very innocent and cannot be contaminated by the harsh teachings.
Song Zhongkai looked at Xu Zhi and felt that he saw the shadow of Situ Xuankong back then.
Just like Situ Xuankong back then, everyone was paying attention.
But unlike Situ Xuankong, Xu Zhi also has a bunch of brothers and sisters who can help.
Continuous expansion is also accompanied by a reduction in personnel.
The Inspection Division can still hold on.
The inspection department chiefs of the three new provinces all came from Xu Zhi's brothers and sisters. These people not only established a firm foothold, but also did a good job.
Song Zhongkai had no doubt that Xu Zhi wanted to take control of the Inspection Department and expand his power.
It can only be said that Xu Zhi can only use these trustworthy people.
With Xu Zhi's laziness and lack of money, Song Zhongkai couldn't think of any reason why Xu Zhi needed to control power.
"Master said that I should be more filial to you and come to you often to say hello," Xu Zhi said.
"What did he take me for? I'm still young, not as old as Situ." Song Zhongkai said angrily: "What kind of greetings are there? No matter how much you ask for, what's the use? He'll still die the same way."
"You are right, I think so too." Xu Zhi nodded repeatedly and said, "Once you get used to saying hello every day, you will be complained about every day you don't go."
"You can't say that."
Song Zhongkai began to disagree with Xu Zhi's opinions.
Although it is too formalistic to say hello, you can't be like Xu Zhi and not come.
What's more, it's more than just not coming. This guy didn't pay attention to him at all. I don't know how worried he was about Xu Zhi dying outside.
Song Zhongkai felt that he was getting older and did not have enough time to see a great talent who could support the empire grow.
Think of yourself like your old father, constantly sending all kinds of worrying messages.
Song Zhongkai felt that he needed to learn from Yan Xuankong and Gu Changying.
It doesn't matter if Yan Xuankong is big-hearted, why can Gu Changying be so relieved?
"You have to come, not just every day, but you have to meet people every ten and a half months, reply to me, and read the messages I sent."
Song Zhongkai felt that his requirements were already very low.
Hundreds of years ago, if a high-ranking official like Xu Zhi did not go to court, he would have been criticized and demoted.
He is already very open-minded.
There is no more enlightened monarch than him.
"No problem, I will definitely do it," Xu Zhi promised, "Don't tell me yet, I'm just afraid that you might find me annoying and come to your place often."
"You're speaking more or less from your heart," Song Zhongkai said displeasedly.
Not to mention that it's annoying to come here often, he now dislikes Xu Zhi.
This guy is too direct, can you please be more respectful?
He cared about and cared for this guy with good intentions, but this guy actually said that he would do as he was told, and what he did was no different from his work. This made Song Zhongkai a little sad.
"What I say is from the bottom of my heart, every word is true."
"Alas~"
Song Zhongkai sighed. He was half-infuriated by the message Xu Zhi sent in the morning. This guy had the same tone after he came back, and now he is almost infuriated to death.
No wonder Yan Xuan was too lazy to take care of Xu Zhi. The more he took care of Xu Zhi, the more likely he would die young.
He didn't know which daughter could endure Xu Zhi's temper.
Seeing flowers in the mist is naturally eye-catching, but if you never get tired of looking at each other, it will take a long time to get used to it.
He was even a little dissatisfied with the relationship between Wuya Ye Fulin and Xu Zhi.
Can Wuya Ye Fulin have such a good temper and be able to withstand Xu Zhi's temper?
"Don't sigh. Our matter is a troublesome one. Luo Shangfu did die in mysterious circumstances."
Seeing Xu Zhi who could misunderstand, Song Zhongkai could only let him go.
"How could the Kujiao have the power to kill Luo Jiahui? I looked at the report and found that Luo Jiahui was still holding your sword."
"yes."
Xu Zhi looked at Song Zhongkai and finally explained.
"The Kujiao may have three great masters, so Luo Shangfu will naturally be no match for them."
"What? Why haven't you said that before?"
When Xu Zhi broke the news, Song Zhongkai felt that he couldn't bear it.
There were only five great masters in Dongyue, and there were three unknown ones hidden secretly, which made him unbearable.
If we can work together, there is no need to be afraid of Nan'ao. Situ Xuankong can handle two of them, and the others can drive them away one by one.
This group of people did not focus on the outside world, but focused on the country, which made him feel a little chilly all over.
If it weren't for Situ Xuankong, the world's greatest grandmaster, who suppressed them, perhaps these people would have rebelled long ago.
With Wang Dong and others taking their place, if they are controlled and killed, it may be possible to directly replace the Song family.
Maybe you pursue perfection, or maybe you don’t want to cause serious damage, or maybe you don’t wait for enough opportunities, or even don’t have enough righteousness.
It all started to collapse.
Everyone was on alert after being investigated by Zhao Mu.
Xu Zhi pushed him in step by step and dug up everything.
There is also a method for disconnecting three generations of communications.
The hard teaching at this time can never be turned back.
The other party reached the edge of the cliff and the edge of the tightrope.
Perhaps a desperate counterattack will be launched at some unknown time.
This is the moment when vigilance is most needed.
Locke is not the first, nor will he be the last.
"Where did you get this news?" Song Zhongkai asked: "Why have I never heard of you before?"
"I don't think you want to hear the bad information from Grandmaster Wang Dong." Xu Zhi said helplessly: "You like to think wildly. I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it after hearing this news."
"I'm sure I can stand it. Damn it! These bastards would rather rebel than help guard Dongyue. They are heartless and heartless. They are so heartless..."
Song Zhongkai muttered for a while and cursed a few times before he calmed down.
"Is his words reliable?" Song Zhongkai asked doubtfully.
"It's information that I got through forced interrogation, but Grandmaster Wang was just guessing at the time, so I didn't say anything. It wasn't until something happened in Luo Shangfu that we were a little sure," Xu Zhi replied.
"If the Ku Cult really has three great masters, what should we do?"
In the Inspection Department system, the person with the highest combat power is Xu Zhi. Without a great master, it is impossible to expect the Inspection Department to fight head-on.
Even if you get to the bottom of it and you see the opponent, it's useless if you can't fight or catch up.
If you want to kill these people, the five great masters of Dongyue must work together, and it is not safe.
The difficulty of defeating a Grand Master is completely different from that of killing a Grand Master.
Thinking of the threat from South Australia, Song Zhongkai had a huge headache for a moment and felt that there was no way to solve the problem.
As they pushed forward step by step and pressed step by step, the bitter teachings came to an end, but their verification almost also came to an end.
"Perhaps there is only one way. Although the risk is high, I still have to give it a try."
Xu Zhi looked at Song Zhongkai, pursed his lips, and rubbed his aching head. A high-risk plan began to emerge in his mind.
