Wanderer of the whirling world

Chapter 119

After Xin Ziqiu broke through to the realm of refining gods, he was satisfied and fell asleep soundly.

As soon as the next day dawned, he got up early and went straight to Kaifeng Mansion.

In fact, a few days ago, he had received an invitation from Jiang Ping, Xu Liang and others, allowing him to come to the yamen to meet everyone when he was free.

It's just that at that time Xin Ziqiu was only one step away from breaking through the bottleneck of refining the gods, and he had been concentrating on his cultivation without distraction, and had no time to distract himself from the appointment.

All the knights in Kaifeng Mansion also thought that he was busy solving the calculation problem of opening the treasure house, so they didn't urge him, and they dragged on until now.

After the successful breakthrough last night, Xin Ziqiu's cultivation came to an end, and he finally had time to visit Kaifeng Mansion.

In addition to handing in the answers to the math problems as planned, he also wanted to see if Mr. Bao could arrange a formal official position for him so that he could complete the mission in the Whirling World.

After walking along Bianliangcheng Avenue for a while, Xin Ziqiu first came to the steamed stuffed bun shop he often frequented.

Now that he has reached the state of refining gods, he feels that the whole world seems to have changed.

In the past, when he came here for breakfast, he could only see the curling steam and the crowds of pedestrians and customers around him.

But now, you can see the crackling firewood in the pot and the wheat crumbs in the air.

Not only could he hear the breathing and heartbeat of the diners, but he could also feel their muscles and pores contracting slightly in the cold October wind.

Even under the glance of his divine sense, the buns in the cage can be seen from the inside to the outside.

Which one has more stuffing, which one has more soup inside, which one has a broken skin, and which one has not been steamed yet, all of which cannot be concealed from his strange spiritual perception.

This brand-new feeling of being almost omniscient and omnipotent made him almost slightly uncomfortable.

The owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop is named Li Yuan. Since Xin Ziqiu often comes to buy breakfast, the two have become very familiar with each other.

He watched Xin Ziqiu arrive, looked him up and down, and said with a smile:

"Brother Xiaoqiu is here again. What is the happy event today? I can see that your spirit is different."

Xin Ziqiu laughed aloud, thinking that the owner of this small business has a vicious vision. After he broke through, his qi and spirit merged, and his whole person was reborn. It did bring a sense of being out of the world, but this change in temperament, ordinary people still imperceptible.

He also smiled and said:

"Uncle is really good at talking, I don't know if I have a happy event, but you have a happy event to visit..."

Li Yuan was taken aback when he heard the words, but found that Xin Ziqiu took out a large handful of old coins from his bosom, there were dozens of them, threw them all into the copper money box, and said loudly:

"I'm here to take care of business today, and I'll bring you ten drawers of buns."

Li Yuan was overjoyed, he dared to admit that the happy event he mentioned was such a thing, so he asked with a smile:

"My steamed stuffed bun is quite enough, ten drawers of steamed stuffed bun, hey, can you eat it? Stop bragging, young man."

Xin Ziqiu patted his stomach honestly and replied:

"I probably couldn't eat it before, but now, ten drawers of buns might not be enough."

He said that he was not polite, he went straight to the pot and picked up a tall stack of steamed bun cages, found a corner, squatted there and gnawed on it disregarding his image.

Now his innate infinite power has broken through to a new level, his metabolism is far superior to that of ordinary people, his appetite is surprisingly good, and the nutrition of all kinds of food can be stored in the viscera, transforming into infinite vitality and abundant true qi.

Not to mention a few catties of steamed stuffed buns, even a basket made of bamboo, he can still eat and digest it now, but that's too shocking, and Xin Ziqiu doesn't rely on eating to cultivate, the taste of bamboo is not as good as meaty steamed stuffed buns It tastes good.

But just as he was eating, someone was staring at him with intriguing eyes.

Even under the cover of Xin Ziqiu's powerful divine sense, he did not notice this gaze...

……

After eating enough, not long after, Xin Ziqiu came to the Kaifeng government office again.

Coincidentally, the person standing guard in front of the door this time is the same officer who stopped him last time.

When Xin Ziqiu saw this person again, he couldn't help being amused, and came forward to say hello with a smile:

"Brother, do you still remember me? I came to see Xu Liang today, but I don't have a name card, can you report it?"

The last time the officer saw Jiang Ping politely come out to greet Xin Ziqiu, his face was already pale with fright. After asking around, he found out that this young man was not only not simple, but his martial arts were ridiculously high. He killed people like hemp, and actually picked out the notorious Xiaoyao Building, and even killed the building owner Situ Kong one-on-one.

Knowing this, he was even more terrified.

Seeing Xin Ziqiu coming again today, the officer didn't dare to neglect at all, quickly put on a smiling face, and said respectfully:
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, last time I was a little blind, please forgive me, little knight Xin, and I'll report it right away."

As soon as the voice fell, only someone said:
"Xiaoqiu, why are you?"

The one who spoke was Xu Liang, the white-browed hero. He happened to come out of the government office and saw Xin Ziqiu at a glance.

Seeing that it was Xu Liang, Xin Ziqiu waved his hand with a smile, walked up and said:

"Third brother, I came to find Mr. Bao. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life. The calculation problem has been solved."

Xu Liang stretched out a thumb and said:

"Xiaoqiu, it's amazing. You have both civil and martial arts at such a young age. We all heard your long roar last night. Congratulations on your next level of skill. Third brother has practiced martial arts for a year older than you, but Without your abundant inner strength, I really admire and feel ashamed."

Xin Ziqiu didn't expect that when he had a sudden vision last night when he entered the stage, he would be alarmed to the Kaifeng Mansion. Hearing Xu Liang praise him again, he said a little embarrassedly:

"Don't say that, third brother, I'm still far behind."

Xu Liang patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Come in quickly, Mr. Bao has been waiting for the answer to this calculation problem. There is no news from you and Mr. Jia recently, and the old man can hardly eat anymore."

Xin Ziqiu followed Xu Liang into the inner hall of the Kaifeng mansion, and met Gongsun Ce and Jiang Pingping. Only Master Bao was dealing with government affairs and couldn't get away for the time being.

Seeing Xin Ziqiu coming, Gongsun Ce took out a book and said to him:
"Xiaoqiu, in the battle to wipe out the Xiaoyao Building in Wuyou Cave a few days ago, Mr. Bao rewarded you for your meritorious deeds. In front of the officials, he asked you to be a fifth-rank Xiaoqi school captain. This is an official document. Look at it. Take a look, if you are satisfied, you can report to the yamen tomorrow."

Xin Ziqiu took the document and felt an indescribably strange feeling in his heart.

From childhood to adulthood, because he kept skipping grades, he was much younger than his classmates, so he never even served as a team leader.

After entering university, cadre groups such as the student union have no chance with him.

Unexpectedly, after coming to the mother-in-law world, he became an official for the first time, and became a captain of the fifth rank.

However, although this official is not young, what is required in the mission of the Whirling World is an official position above the fourth rank. It seems that he has to find a way to make some contributions in the ancient tomb of Lord Xinling, and strive to be promoted.

He thanked Gongsun Ce, put away the documents, and sat down in the inner hall, waiting for Bao Gong to arrive.

During this period of time, there were not many affairs in Kaifeng Mansion. Bai Yunsheng, Ai Hu and others heard that Xin Ziqiu had arrived, so they all came to hear the news.

Both Ai Hu and Han Tianjin's injuries were almost healed, and they were chatting together when someone suddenly reported that Mr. Bao had arrived.

After a while, I saw Baogong with big ears walking in side by side with another middle-aged man in his 50s.

Everyone quickly got up and saluted.

Bao Gong seemed to be in a good mood, smiled at everyone, pointed to the people beside him and said:

"Everyone, I would like to introduce you. This is Hong Xin Hong Anping, the Taiwei in front of the palace who is also in charge of the Privy Council. According to the order of the official family, Taiwei Hong will replace me to handle the excavation of Lord Xinling's ancient tomb with full authority. At that time, I hope that you can help me with all my strength.”

When Xin Ziqiu heard the word "Hong Taiwei", his heart moved.

Hong Xin waited for Bao Zheng to finish his introduction with a smile, then he cupped his fists and said:

"Everyone, I'm not a good official, so I'm in this position. Mr. Bao is busy with government affairs, so the official sent me to take charge of the opening of the ancient treasure. In order to avoid damaging the thousand-year-old tomb, it is not suitable to bring too many forbidden troops into it this time. , I am thinking about the martial arts skills of all the chivalrous men in Kaifeng Mansion, so I wonder if I would be willing to accompany my team to explore the treasure as guards?"

Taiwei was the head of the three princes in the Song Dynasty, and his status was extremely respected.

And Hong Xin also serves as a member of the Privy Council, and he can be regarded as an important military minister. Unlike other ministers, he holds real power in his hands.

However, what he said was extremely polite, and his voice was gentle, without any condescending power, on the contrary, it made people feel like a spring breeze.

In fact, with his status, as long as he gave an order casually, everyone would dare to obey.

But he didn't rely on his status to suppress others, but came to Kaifeng mansion in person, was recommended by Mr. Bao, and respectfully requested with the ceremony of clasping fists from the Jianghu people. This operation immediately won the favor of all the knights in Kaifeng mansion.

These people are all green forest heroes who eat soft but not hard. If someone asks for it at the door, it is naturally difficult to refuse.

Jiang Ping, the oldest, stepped forward to salute deeply and replied:
"Lieutenant Hong is serious. We are all sentry officials who are paid by the state. As long as the captain needs it, we can just give orders."

Hong Xin still cupped his fists and said with a smile:

"Thank you Fourth Master Jiang. This time it's not a confrontation between the two armies. I guarantee that there will be no danger. It's just that my team is full of civil officials and historians who are not working hard. That is, for peace of mind.

"And I definitely won't let you make this trip in vain. After you come back, the officials will reward you for your merits, and the Privy Council will naturally have a gift of thanks."

Jiang Ping and the others were not greedy for rewards, but they felt very satisfied seeing Captain Hong being so thoughtful and respectful.

At this time, Bao Gong saw Xin Ziqiu and asked with a smile:

"Xiaoqiu is here too. Did Mr. Gongsun give you the official document? The official, Long En, thinks highly of you, and bestows you with the gift of being a five-rank Xiaoqi captain. To be honest, I have been an official for so many years, and I am still the first This is the first time I see a fifth-rank official who is under 20 years old. Xiaoqiu, work hard and have a bright future!"

Xin Ziqiu thought to himself, in a few months I will go back to the modern society of the 21st century, when the time comes, there will be delicious food and spicy food, let alone a fifth-rank official, even the emperor's dragon chair will not be changed for me.

But now he is not the blunt and quick-spoken stunned young man when he first came here, thinking so in his heart, he still said:
"Thank you, Lord Bao, for your support. The emperor's kindness is mighty. I will definitely work hard to serve the country."

When Taiwei Hong heard Xin Ziqiu's name, he showed a curious look on his face, looked at him, took a step forward and said:
"This is Xin Ziqiu, the young chivalrous man who recently became famous in the capital? It's a pleasure to meet you. I heard your name was mentioned by Master Zhong Xiong, the Feicha Taibao. This time, you are the first to kill Wuyou Cave and the leader of the bandit, Situ Kong. One thing, but he never said that he is such a young man. Haha, it is true that the waves of the Yangtze River push forward the waves of the front. Since ancient times, heroes have produced young men. God bless me, Song Dynasty, each generation is better than the next generation."

Xin Ziqiu hurriedly cupped his fists and saluted and said:
"Master Hong is over the top. In fact, Wuyou Cave and his party depended entirely on Uncle Jiang and Uncle Zhan to guide them forward and retreat. I was just lucky and caught a loophole."

Seeing this, Hong Xin said again:

"Commander Zhong told me that you were the only one who stole the antidote to 'Hero's Tears' and saved everyone. This credit is not all due to good luck. It is rare, you are a military officer, and I am also a military officer, and I can come to the Privy Council when I have time in the future."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and patted Xin Ziqiu on the shoulder affectionately.

Everyone was secretly surprised when they heard this, the Privy Council is an important place for military aircraft, and ordinary people can't even touch the door.

Hong Xin sent this invitation to a mere fifth-rank official, which was tantamount to announcing that Xin Ziqiu would be recruited under his command.

Xin Ziqiu was also shocked, not because of Hong Xin's win-win, but because of Hong Xin's slap on his shoulder, which obviously carried inner strength.

This strength was not strong, but it just happened to stimulate the innate infinite power in his body to protect his body, producing a counter-shock force, with a light flick.

"He's testing me! Why is he doing that?"

Xin Ziqiu immediately understood Hong Xin's intentions, but he couldn't figure out why this high-ranking captain would be so interested in him.

What made him even more confused was that Taiwei Hong had a familiar feeling of deja vu, as if he had encountered it somewhere, but he still couldn't remember it.

For Xin Ziqiu, who has a camera-like memory, this is extremely unusual.

Since the beginning of his memory, everyone he has met and everything that has happened has been firmly in his mind and will never be forgotten.

But facing the vaguely familiar aura of the person in front of him, he couldn't tell where it came from.

But there is one thing he can be sure of, this Hong Taiwei is by no means simple.

At this time, Xin Ziqiu had reached the realm of refining gods. With his keen spiritual sense, he felt the powerful real qi of Hong Taiwei. Although this person was well hidden and had reached the point of returning to the original, it seemed that he was just an ordinary military officer. Because, but still can't hide from Xin Ziqiu's spiritual glance.

In connection with the story told by Jia Zhengliang that day, the demon captain was also surnamed Hong, and Xin Ziqiu had to doubt the origin of Hong Xin...
