spn "You want the Jurchen Fellowship to pray for the prince?" Yu Hongxiu said slightly moved. http:booktop novel list

Since Kong Zhang promised to pray to the prince, he would not break his promise, and he went back to Mount Shu to meet Yu Hongxiu.

"I don't want it, I just build a bridge." Kong Zhang said leisurely.

"What if I say no?" Yu Hongxiu sneered.

Kong Zhang laughed, stood up and said, "You and I made an agreement at the beginning, so I won't force you. Anyway, if you don't want to, it doesn't hurt me at all."

When the word "forced" was mentioned, Yu Hongxiu's face paled, remembering what happened that day, being restrained and humiliated by Kong Zhang that day was the greatest humiliation in her life, but she was still held by him and could not move.

Even now, every time she meets Kong Zhang again, she is cautious, especially now that the two of them are alone on the floating island, if Kong Zhang comes to see her again, she can only choose between eating yellow lotus as a dumb person or perishing together. Same.

But now it is almost impossible for Kong Zhang to be like the last time. Last time, she was addicted to self-abuse, and she did not expect that Kong Zhang's cultivation base would increase greatly, and she would be able to sneak in.

Since those things happened, Yu Hongxiu not only borrowed another magical weapon from her father to deal with monks in the heavenly realm, but also donated a lot of materials to the Rune Academy in the name of the Jurchen Fellowship, in exchange for the Rune Academy to strengthen her. Floating island ban.

The most important thing is that Yu Hongxiu has left almost all her affairs behind during this period, and even the Jurchen Fellowship has been temporarily handed over to Ye Bin to take care of it, so she can concentrate on cultivation, hoping to break through the bottleneck.

"If you regard the Jurchen Fellowship as only a peripheral vassal of Shushan, then you don't have to pay attention to what I said today. However, if your thoughts are more than that, why bother to talk nonsense because of others." Kong Zhang smiled slightly. .

Seeing that Yu Hong's sleeves were sinking like water, Kong Zhang shook his sleeves and was about to go out.

Although he didn't trigger it personally, but this time, Kong Zhang could feel that the restrictions on the floating island seemed to have changed and increased a lot.

It seems that after the last time, Yu Hongxiu also left a shadow.

However, Yu Hongxiu still underestimated Kong Zhang. The restrictions on her current floating island are still aimed at Kong Zhang when she restrained her, but she doesn't know that if Kong Zhang is completely demonized, although these restrictions can hurt him, they still won't be enough. It might kill him.

Among them, the prohibition involving spatial changes, at most, is just to transfer him to other heavens, but after he has mastered the tangible sword art of Taiqing Xuanmen, he is naturally unafraid.

It's just that Kong Zhang didn't dare to expose the secret of the devil's essence in the sea of ​​clouds in Shushan Mountain unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Wait a minute." Yu Hongxiu finally spoke.

Kong Zhang stopped immediately, as if he knew the result a long time ago.

"You answer that Prince Qi for me, I want to see him." Yu Hongxiu said.

Kong Zhang's eyes lit up, knowing that the trip was worthwhile.

In the dead of night, there were two dark figures lying on top of a big tree, looking at a house that was a street away from the big tree, only one or two lights were still on, and the rest was pitch black.

"Senior brother, this should be the house of Lingzhou Zhizhou." One of the two dark shadows said softly. [

Another black shadow called senior brother nodded slightly and said, "Fortunately, someone told us about this in time, otherwise he would report it to us, and we would be in big trouble."

"Brother, what should we do? Why don't you and I break in now and kill that Zhizhou." The younger brother said eagerly.

"Nonsense, do you want to die if you do something in this city?" the brother scolded.

"Why not?" The younger brother asked puzzled, "Then Zhizhou is just an ordinary person, and he is a bit bookish. Although there are yamen servants under his command, how can we stop us?"

"You're crazy." The brother lowered his voice, "He is an ordinary person, but he represents the Great Chu Dynasty. If you go in and take his life like this, you are openly opposing the Great Chu Dynasty. The four of us There is only one dead end for Xiangmen. Besides, although he is not a monk, there must be one or two monks in the guards who will accompany him. Once he starts to make a move, the city will be alarmed. Don’t forget that there are Taoist officials in Lingzhou .”

The younger brother was stunned and said: "What are the Taoist officials afraid of? Isn't it him..."

The senior brother shouted: "Once there is a commotion, the immortal official can only take action, otherwise how will he explain it, so it is absolutely impossible to do it in the city. If something happens in the city of Lingzhou Zhizhou, it will definitely attract Taoism and the Great Chu Dynasty. , and then I can’t hide it.”

"Then what should we do now, brother please show me." The brother said depressedly.

The senior brother moved his eyes to the depths of the house, and said slowly: "For the present plan, the only way is to stop him from sending messages to Yunjing first, and delay it for a while."

The younger brother cheered up and said, "Leave this matter to our younger brothers."

"Well, you divide into several groups and guard the road from Lingzhou to Yunjing. As long as the Zhizhou dares to send someone to Yunjing to report the news, you will take the life of the person who reported the report. One month." The brother said while thinking, "But this can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. To prevent future troubles, we must make a deal with this Zhizhou."

"Brother, what do you plan to use to trade with Zhizhou?" The younger brother asked curiously.

"I have to go back and report to the master, and come back tomorrow." The brother shook his head and said.

After another half hour, two bat-like black shadows flew from the tree and flew westward.

When the two shadows were peeping, Wang Qinian was writing pen in the study room deep in the house they were peeking at.

The door squeaked and opened suddenly, but Kong You walked in with a small bowl in his hand.

"Master, take a break and drink a bowl of soup." Kong You gently handed over the bowl.

"Be careful, don't dirty my memorial." Wang Qinian hurriedly stood up and took the bowl.

"What is the master writing?" Kong You asked slightly curiously.

"You are a woman, what are you doing asking about these things?" Wang Qinian said displeased, even though he was not used to telling his family about state affairs, but he couldn't trust Kong You any more.

"This Lingzhou is really a worthwhile trip. Although there are five spiritual stone mines nearby, the actual output of the one sent to the imperial court every year is actually less than the output of one spiritual stone mine." Wang Qinian sighed.

Kong You was taken aback when he heard this. Although she is a woman, she has also done small business, and even read and read in the Jinfeng Yulu Building. She covered her mouth with her hand and said: " Then, isn’t that someone is losing money out of it?” [

Wang Qinian shook his head and said, "It's not a deficit, but stealing and interception."

He slowly got up, walked to the side, looked at the moon outside, lost in thought.

It has been a year since he came to Lingzhou from Beijing, and he found that the problems here are more serious than he thought before he came here.

As I said just now, there are five Lingshi mines clearly registered by the dynasty, but in fact, only one-fifth of the Lingshi mines are reported to the court every year. It was detained.

There is nothing surprising about the method used, that is, the two sects also surround the Lingshi Mine and dig in from another direction.

Then the government mines only a fixed amount of mining every day, and does not mine after that, and only mines poor ore areas, but deliberately ignores rich ore and high-quality ore areas.

On the other hand, those who illegally mine private mines continue to illegally mine day and night, and they immediately dig out the rich ore lands that the government has let go.

After mining, it will be restored to its original state, and then the government will come to mine again, so it will naturally be regarded as a land of poor mines.

In this way, most of the output of the five Lingshi mines will fall into the hands of these two sects.

In addition, there are other means.

For example, the high-grade spirit stones were clearly excavated, but they were exchanged before they were put into storage. They were recorded as middle-grade spirit stones and put into storage, while the middle-grade spirit stones were recorded as low-grade spirit stones and put into storage.

These are all the conclusions that Wang Qinian came up with through his investigation and unannounced visits. Some of them have actual evidence, while others have no evidence at all. However, Wang Qinian is sure that his guesses are also close to ten.

But it is quite difficult to deal with it. These two sects are not well-known in the world, but they can be regarded as giants in Lingzhou.

In the vicinity of Lingzhou, there are many disciples of these two sects and one sect, many of them are not even monks at all, but just a little magic formula or magic taught by the monks in the sect.

But there are so many people, Wang Qinian's yamen servants alone can't move them.

So now Wang Qinian plans to write a memorial and report it, and on the other hand, he discusses with the Taoist officials in Lingzhou, hoping to get the support of the Taoist officials, and the local garrison troops in Lingzhou will come to order the chaos.

"Master, this matter, why don't you just leave it alone?" Kong You said worriedly.

Wang Qinian frowned, put the soup bowl heavily on the table, waved his sleeves and clasped his fists facing the bright moon, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's really a woman's opinion. I, Wang Qinian, eat the king's salary and take care of the king's worries. Not to mention me Studying poetry and books is to establish a heart for the world, and to be an official is to make a career. How can you know that you don’t know anything about these dirty things. You don’t have to talk too much, just take care of the inner house. I have put this The matter is written into a memorial, and tomorrow I will send people to Beijing to report it to the imperial court. Tomorrow, I will invite Cao Xianguan and General Yi to discuss with them how to deal with it."

Kong You stepped forward to clean up the soup bowls, Wang Qinian was disturbed for a while, suddenly remembered something and said: "He has been here?"

Kong You was startled, looked up and saw Wang Qinian's eyes, and seeing his eyes, his heart trembled: "He came to see me, before we left Beijing."

Seeing that Wang Qinian's eyes were a little unfriendly, she said aggrievedly: "I know you are not happy to see him, sir, so I didn't mention it to you, but anyway, he is my only younger brother, why don't you even come to see me?" Can't you?"

Wang Qinian opened his mouth, but finally waved his hand without saying anything.

Kong You was also a little angry. She was in love with Wang Qinian, but ever since Wang Qinian knew that her younger brother was from the Taoist sect, she had been disliked. As soon as the two of them mentioned Kong Zhang, they would be cold.

Kong You packed up the bowls and left. He was angry and didn't even close the door for him.

Sitting on the bench, Wang Qinian rested his chin on one hand and fell into deep thought. When the cold wind blew, he couldn't help shivering.
