Da Cang night watchman

Chapter 1147 Familiar Supervisor
"Student Lin Su, I pay my respects to the Grand Secretary!" Lin Su bowed deeply.

Xie Dong showed a peaceful smile on his face: "Mr. Lin's literary talent was unstoppable in the competition yesterday. He is truly a hero in the world! I was also very impressed when I watched from afar."

"I don't want to trouble you with your praise!" Lin Su thanked him, "I have also heard of your elegance. Back then, you were known all over the world for your purple robes. Even though you are getting older today, your elegance is still as good as ever."

"Haha, Master Lin, don't be like this! Please sit down!" Xie Dong waved his hand gently.

Lin Su bowed: "Thank you for sitting down!"

He sat face to face with Xie Dong.

"Serve tea!" Xie Dong spoke again.

A student next to him bowed and served tea.

Lin Su tapped the table with his fingers: "Thank you for the tea!"

"All of you retreat!" Xie Dong said.

The two scribes bowed and retreated.

The door closed gently and the room was silent.

Xie Dong held up the teacup and asked, "Mr. Lin had a small dispute with the Crown Prince last night?"

Lin Su smiled: "The Grand Secretary said that there was a small dispute, but I'm afraid it's not a small one in the eyes of the prince."

Xie Dong smiled: "You know he's not small, but I don't know why you have to provoke him?"

"Because..." His voice stopped abruptly.

"You can talk as you like!" Xie Dong said.

"I don't want to displease the Crown Prince, but I also don't want to be his pawn. After weighing the pros and cons, I have no choice but to offend him."

Xie Dong frowned slightly: "You don't want to be his chess piece? Can you see his chess game clearly?"

"He uses the advantages of the terrain to gain great results, and uses the harmony of people to eliminate the danger of rumors. This is his chess game."

Take advantage of geographical advantages to reap great results, take advantage of the harmony among people to eliminate the danger of rumors...

The geographical advantage is a convenience brought by the prince’s status.

The fruitful results are the results of Bai Yuwen’s battle.

The rumors naturally refer to the stains on the prince in the past.

This serious stain put the prince in a passive position.

Hiding in the East Palace for a long time would certainly keep things out of sight and out of mind, but it was not a solution to the problem.

So after Bai Yuwenzhan's victory, the prince immediately stepped forward, wanting to seize Bai Yuwenzhan's glory for his own use, and use this unprecedented victory to eliminate the stain on him.

This is what any wise person would do.

Lin Su understood, and Xie Dong obviously understood too.

However, understanding this is not enough. Lin Su must have a resolute mind, a keen vision, and comprehensive considerations to support him in taking this crucial step.

Xie Dong nodded gently: "What do you think of that rumor?"

"I know nothing about this matter, so I can't say anything about my opinion. But I know that the heir of the Immortal Dynasty shoulders the hopes of hundreds of millions of people and the inheritance of the Immortal Dynasty, so I can't be careless."

Xie Dong sighed softly: "Yes, we must not be careless. However, the senior officials in the court said so, but they had thousands of thoughts in their hearts."

"Everyone has a standpoint, and this is what the butt determines the head."

"The butt determines the head!" Xie Dong laughed: "Mr. Lin is such a genius in literature, this statement is a bit vulgar."

"A bachelor is a rough man, and he knows that the grand scholar has an unruly temperament. That's why he acts wildly and boldly. I hope the grand scholar can forgive me." Lin Su bowed.

"The butt determines the head. Although this statement is extremely vulgar, the truth is also very profound!" Xie Dong nodded gently: "I was just joking, Master Lin, don't take it seriously!"

"Yes!"

"You just said that you know nothing about this matter, so you can't say anything about it, which is reasonable. As a Wenyuan scholar, you are qualified to look up information. Why don't you enter the Wenyuan Library today?"

Lin Su suddenly raised his head: "Wenyuan Book Pavilion?"

"Wenyuan Library, ordinary scholars are not allowed to read it, but you have been granted special permission by me!" Xie Dong's eyes dropped and stared into his eyes.

Lin Su stood up slowly: "I am deeply honored that the Grand Secretary thinks highly of me!"

"Go!"

"Yes!"

Lin Su left the Grand Secretary Pavilion and walked forward along the long and narrow passage.

There was some excitement on his face, but his heart was even more excited...

Because what he had always dreamed of was right in this library.

Wenyuan Book Pavilion has an ordinary name, but in fact it is not ordinary at all.

Wenyuan has three pavilions: Miscellaneous Pavilion, Newspaper Pavilion and Book Pavilion.

The Miscellaneous Pavilion records all kinds of rumors, and the Report Pavilion records all kinds of events. These are available for ordinary scholars to refer to at any time.

The Book Pavilion contains the best of both pavilions, and most of the things recorded in it are the most advanced and important things. They are not accessible to ordinary scholars at any time. Only the Grand Secretary can access them anytime and anywhere. Others need the permission of the Grand Secretary.

He needs to understand the major immortal sects.

He needs to lay out the overall situation before the unintentional catastrophe comes.

He also has a deal with the Temple of Time and Space on his shoulders.

Information about the Temple of Time and Space seems to be a taboo in this world, and few people know about it. However, this book pavilion must have records on this subject, and they are absolutely authoritative...

It just depends on whether he can find it.

"Mr. Lin!" A scholar in white bowed slightly in front of a book pavilion in front. "The Wenyuan Book Pavilion has a time limit. Anyone who enters it has only three hours. Once the three hours are up, the book pavilion will automatically close. The same person cannot enter again within three months. Therefore, Mr. Lin needs to make good use of the limited time."

"Thank you, sir!" Lin Su bowed to the fourth-rank official.

"Go!"

"Yes!"

Lin Su stepped into Wenyuan Book Pavilion. There were countless shelves and ancient books, and each shelf had a label.

Luo Tianzong...

True Phoenix Sect...

Lieyang Sect...

Hao Yuan Zong...

Lin Su passed through the void, his fingertips swiping across the books. In his mind, the ancient bronze tree seemed to have suddenly entered spring, and countless leaves appeared in the void...

He immersed himself completely.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, Xie Dong had already left Wenyuan and came to the imperial study of His Majesty the Immortal Emperor.

The Immortal Emperor slowly raised his eyes and asked, "You said you have met him face to face?"

"Yes!"

"How is the result?"

"There are few people in the younger generation who can match him!" said Xie Dong.

"Oh? You haven't commented on someone like this for twenty years!" The Immortal Emperor became interested: "Tell me, what is his unparalleled ability?"

Xie Dong traveled thousands of miles...

The first skill that Lin Su showed was his joy of playing. Under this joy of playing, many other things were concealed, such as his wisdom and his chess skills.

He became famous in Jiuqu of Xishan. However, Your Majesty, do you know why he wanted to become famous in Jiuqu of Xishan?

Just to attract the recruitment of Xiandu forces.

Why did he want to attract Xiandu forces? Because he could see clearly that Luotian Sect was unwilling to set up a stage for him.

A disciple of a sect returned to the sect and was ostracized by the sect. Under such circumstances, he was able to find another way and step out of the framework set by Luotian Sect. How could an ordinary person do that?

The third prince was indeed attracted to him, and he also happened to want to get close to the royal children, so the two hit it off, and he entered Wenyuan with the introduction of the third prince.

Things have come to this point, demonstrating his wisdom that is unmatched among the younger generation.

However, his subversion does not stop there.

He had an extraordinary perspective, he saw the value of the third prince, he knew that sooner or later he would be reused, and the opportunity soon came. After the third prince took over the leadership of Baiyu Wenzhan, he rose to prominence, and in just a few days, he became famous in Xiandu and became a fifth-rank scholar.

His Majesty's eyes were filled with deep thoughts: "He saw that the Third Prince could lead the Baiyu Wenzhan?"

"From his eyes, I only saw that he saw the value of the Third Prince, but did not show that he had anything to do with the rumor."

Xie Dong obviously understood what His Majesty meant.

His Majesty suspected that Lin Su was involved in the prince's rumors, but Xie Dong rejected it because he had just quietly looked at Lin Su with his mind pupil.

His Majesty nodded slightly: "Does that mean he no longer has any secrets in your eyes?"

Xie Dong shook his head gently: "On the contrary, in my eyes, he has countless secrets..."

Oh?
His Majesty's heart was slightly moved: "Tell me in detail!"

Xie Dong revealed everything...

Lin Su is an ambitious person!

Very big ambition!

He wants to integrate all the major immortal sects, and he wants to use their power for his own benefit!
There was a gleam in His Majesty's eyes, traitor!

How audacious!

The Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty is his territory, and the power of the major immortal sects has always been coveted by him. You, Lin Su, are a young boy who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, and you still want to unify the immortal sects? Are you going to rebel?
However, Xie Dong smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, don't you think this person can be used right now?"

The Immortal Emperor stared at him, his eyes slowly changing...

Xie Dong said: "In every generation, there are people who dream of unifying the Immortal Sect. If those who have this dream should be killed, then almost everyone in the world should be killed! So, Your Majesty, don't think that this is a bad thing. On the contrary, this is a good thing for Your Majesty."

The Immortal Emperor nodded gently: "Xie Qing's words make sense! Having dreams is not a bad thing, and having means is even more not a bad thing. He set up thousands of traps and got thousands of fruits. I only need to stretch out my hand to pick them. What he gets is also what I get... Then the question is, does he have the means to really achieve what I wish for?"

"You can test whether you have the means or not!" Xie Dong said.

"What kind of test is the one Xie Qing envisioned?"

Xie Dong said: "Agree to the Third Prince's request, give him the post of Supervisory Envoy, and let him go to Haoyuan Sect. The first thing to test is the Crown Prince's rumors!"

"The Crown Prince's rumor... This matter is truly incomparably difficult. If his methods are strong enough, I can truly entrust him with important tasks in the future. If his methods are not strong enough..."

"If his methods were not sufficient, he would not have come back alive! Then this ambitious man who has not yet grown up would not have become a hidden danger to Your Majesty in the future!"

The Immortal Emperor smiled.

Xie Dong also laughed.

Standing in their position, they look at people from an unusual perspective.

It is not the vision of an ordinary emperor.

Generally, emperors need loyal ministers. The purer the mind, the more at ease they will be. They will definitely not tolerate ambitious people. As long as the ambitious person is exposed, the only thing that awaits him is his destruction.

However, how complex is the fairyland world?

What's the use of a loyal minister?

What they want is exactly the ambitious people!

You can only succeed if you have ambition!
Any results you achieve will only serve to benefit the Immortal Emperor!
Moreover, one biggest advantage of people with huge ambitions is that they always have a clear direction and they know who they should be loyal to before they are fully prepared.

Who is the biggest in this world?
His Majesty the Immortal Emperor!

He knew clearly that he should rely on the Immortal Emperor!
Therefore, the prince was nothing but a cloud to him.

Where is the third prince?

Don’t look at what is in front of you. He and the third prince seem to be two little bugs on the same rope. However, in the eyes of an ambitious man, there are no allies, only ladders!
The Third Prince is just a ladder to him!
The Immortal Emperor was not worried at all that the Third Prince would become a hidden danger to him in the future.

Because he is an Immortal Emperor who rose to power through scheming and political intrigue.

Because everything is under his control.

Except...the Immortal Sect!
Three hours later, Wenyuan Book Pavilion shook slightly and Lin Su was sent out of the book pavilion.

Just after leaving the library, the sky was filled with colorful lights, and a team of imperial envoys appeared in front of Lin Su, conveying the immortal decree...

"Lin Su, a scholar from Wenyuan, was born in the Jianghu, but his heart is with the Immortal Dynasty. He has made great contributions to the world, so he is specially appointed as a fifth-rank supervisor to inspect the major immortal sects. However, if there is any violation of the law, he will be dealt with randomly!"

Lin Su opened his mouth at the right time, expressing his surprise, and then accepted the order!

"Congratulations, Master Lin!"

"Mr. Lin, you deserve a reward for your contribution yesterday!"

"Master Lin, this job is quite excellent. I will have to rely on you a lot in the future..."

All of a sudden, countless people in Wenyuan Pavilion came to congratulate and flattered Lin Su in a way that he was very familiar with...

Lin Su used the immortal energy he had just obtained yesterday to give some lucky money to the messenger, responded to the congratulations of his colleagues with a beaming face, and then respectfully went to the Grand Secretary's Pavilion to ask to see the Grand Secretary again.

As soon as they met, Lin Su bowed deeply and said, "I would like to thank the Grand Secretary for your support." He was a student at first and an official now, only because at the beginning, Lin Su was only a fifth-rank scholar and did not have a real job. Now he has a real job and is an official.

Xie Dong smiled softly: "Do you know that this job was recommended by me?"

"I am a stranger to the senior officials in the court, and only the Grand Secretary would recommend me."

Xie Dong waved his hand gently: "It's a pleasure to talk to a smart person! Sit down!"

"Yes!"

Xie Dong leaned forward slowly, his eyes as bright as autumn water fell on Lin Su's eyes: "Then do you know why I recommended you?"

"Unknown, I hope the Grand Secretary can tell me frankly!" Lin Su raised his eyes and met Xie Dong's.

Xie Dong said slowly: "It's about the rumor I told you about three hours ago!"

Lin Su's eyes were slightly confused, as if a small stone had been dropped into a pool of autumn water, causing a few ripples...

Xie Dong said: "Your Majesty has a secret order!"

With a swish, Lin Su stood up and bowed: "Supervisory Envoy Lin Su receives the Immortal Emperor's order!"

Xie Dong said word by word: "His Majesty's order! After you take office as the Supervisory Commissioner, your first task is to investigate the rumors about the Crown Prince. You must find out whether the rumors are true or not. When you succeed, you will be rewarded handsomely, and His Majesty will also entrust you with important tasks!"

Lin Su's whole body was shocked: "Your Highness Lin Su, accept the order!"

"When will we set off and how will we proceed?" Xie Dong raised his teacup and his tone turned calm.

"Tomorrow I will go south of the Yangtze River and take the detour through Nanjiang!"

"Take a detour to Nanjiang? Does King Nanjiang want to return to his fiefdom?" Nanjiang is the fiefdom of King Nanjiang.

Lin Su smiled and said, "I am not very familiar with the King of Nanjiang, so I don't know his itinerary."

Not very familiar!
This has some meaning...

In the eyes of the world, Lin Su is labeled as the King of Nanjiang.

However, Lin Su insisted that he was not very familiar with King Nanjiang.

What is this called?
Are you deliberately concealing it?
There is this meaning, but there is also another meaning. He is telling Xie Dong that he has already stepped on the ladder of King Nanjiang, and now it is time to take the right stance.

This is how smart people interpret it.

You can say that he is ungrateful, but you have to admit that this is the attitude that a smart person should have.

Anyone who wants to truly become the sword in the hands of the emperor must ensure that the hilt is not held by anyone else, even the emperor's own children. It can even be said that the most taboo is the emperor's own children.

"Go!" Xie Dong smiled and nodded.

"Yes!"

Lin Su turned around and walked out, broke through the air with one step, and landed in his own Juxianju.

In Xifeng Courtyard, the west wind is blowing.

Yellow leaves are flying.

In the corner, it was originally a sunny day, but at this moment, there was only a small light. Wherever the light reached, the sunny day was like a river of stars.

In the galaxy, Ji Qianling held the teacup in his hand, slowly raised his eyes, and sighed softly: "Junior brother, you are a little scary."

Lin Su sat opposite her: "Sister, it's not nice of you to say that. I've always wanted to be regarded as a lovely person in your heart. I really don't want to be terrible..."

"In the eyes of most women, you are good-looking and talented, there is no reason why you cannot be lovely. It's a pity that your methods are too terrible. Your methods make your talent leave no mark in my heart." Ji Qianling said.

"Then what should I do? Otherwise, Senior Sister, take your pink fist and hit me on the head to make me dumber. It's really not my fault that I'm smart. It's the fault of my parents. I have always been very helpless."

Ji Qianling laughed and shook his head gently: "I have seen people who show off, but I have never seen someone as shameless as you! Okay, you have obtained the position of the Inspector of the Immortal Dynasty, what should you do next?"

"Next step, go to Jiangnan!"

"Go to Jiangnan?" Ji Qianling's eyes widened. "Why? You want to use your newly acquired position as the Inspector of the Immortal Dynasty to monitor our Luotian Sect? You want the elders of the Luotian Sect to bow their proud backs in front of you?"

Luotian Sect is also located in Jiangnan.

Therefore, when Ji Qianling heard the words "Go to Jiangnan", his first reaction was that Lin Su wanted to attack his own sect. In the past, he was rejected by Luotian Sect, but now he is the Supervisor of the Immortal Dynasty, representing the orthodoxy of the Immortal Dynasty to deal with the sects. Do the elders of the sect still dare to be rude to him?
This is very consistent with the behavior of a person who often shows off after gaining power.

Lin Su sighed softly: "Senior sister, you...what can I say about you? Am I the kind of person who would sacrifice my relatives for the sake of justice? In this world, no matter what, Luotian Sect is the sect closest to me, right? If I need to take advantage of someone, I won't go far away, right? After all, you are the person closest to me, right? How could I do such a shitty thing?"

These words contained analysis, consideration, calculation, and even some vulgarity and ambiguity.

Ji Qianling was a little confused: "Then who will you target with your sword when you go to Jiangnan?"

"Why must the sword be pointed at someone? I am famous all over the world, successful, and proud. Isn't it okay for me to travel around the beautiful Jiangnan with my beautiful woman?"

"With a beautiful woman? Which beautiful woman?" Ji Qianling's eyes flashed.

"Look! It's her!" Lin Su raised his hands and handed something to Ji Qianling.

Ji Qianling was full of doubt. He took the thing, picked it up and took a look at it, then was stunned.

This is a mirror.

There is a beautiful woman in the mirror, who seems familiar, yet unfamiliar...

Ji Qianling looked at the person in the mirror, and the person in the mirror also looked at her, as if they didn't know each other...

"My face, why is my face like this?" Ji Qianling murmured softly.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she last looked in the mirror. Perhaps it was after she practiced the art of astronomy, when her skin began to change little by little, and when she accidentally saw her face through the stream, she left this thing called a mirror forever.

Because she was afraid to see herself.

She felt like a monster.

But today, a mirror appeared in her palm without any warning.

Although the person in the mirror still looked a little weird, it was much better than the weird face I saw in the stream that year.

"There are countless detours in the exploration of the Tao. Senior sister, you delved into the Tao of Heavenly Calculation, but actually went astray. The night before yesterday, your Tao of Heavenly Calculation entered the right track and formed a perfect system. You have actually changed, but you don't know it."

"I went astray, but eventually I got on the right path... I eventually got on the right path..." A hint of blush slowly passed over Ji Qianling's face, which was as white as jade. This blush made her look more like a normal woman.

"Some people say that I, Lin Su, have a low character and low luck, but the way of heaven will always make up for the deficiencies in other aspects. Where will it make up for them? Most of the time it is made up for by the people around me! In layman's terms, I am a lucky star!" Lin Su said, "Senior Sister, do you believe it?"

Ji Qianling seemed reluctant to take his eyes off his own face. He held up the mirror and looked left and right, nodding gently: "It seems so! The Third Prince has been quite successful recently, and I have also become successful slowly. This is the way of heaven making up for your shortcomings. Is it making up for the wrong things?"

Lin Su raised his hand, stroked his forehead, his eyes wandering: "Immoral... Is this word really a good one, Senior Sister?"

"Oh... that's not important!" Ji Qianling stretched out his hand, pressed the mirror on his thigh, and slowly raised his head: "You want to take me to Jiangnan?"

"Yes!"

"Why?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Junior brother, the charm of your words is really like the moon and the hook. How should I answer you when you ask me this? Of course, I will listen to both the truth and the lies."

"The lie is that Senior Sister is starting to look better, I think..."

Ji Qianling raised his hand: "I am a rude person! ... Tell the truth! No more lies!"

"The truth is... I have a feeling that our trip will not be peaceful, so I want to borrow the Luo Tian Sect's reputation as Senior Sister to protect me from any unforeseen disaster."

Ji Qianling was stunned for a long time before finally sighing, "Is there another meaning behind this? Are you planning to use me to tie the entire Luotian Sect onto your pirate ship?"

"Except for the inappropriate word 'thief', the general meaning should be correct." Lin Su said.

Ji Qianling sighed again: "Tell me yourself, was my assessment of your 'immorality' just now wrong?"

"Sister, I think it's necessary to tell you what virtue is..." Lin Su said, "I am a member of Luotian Sect. I have infinite affection for the sect. I don't want the sect I love so much to fall into a bottomless pit. Therefore, I want to lead the sect and walk a bright and smooth path with me. I think this sincerity and concern should also be the virtue of a disciple!"
