Chapter 309: Hidden and Revealed
In the end, Ai Lu accepted the invitation.
Even if [Shu Ri] provides cover, in the final analysis, [Shu Ri]'s status in the Eastern Continent Republic is just like that, neither up nor down. Without the assistance of a network master like Lapis Lazuli, facing There is no guarantee that the investigation by the Tenth Bureau and other agencies will not expose his whereabouts.
Moreover, considering that this psychic who calls himself "Song Shi" seems to be very familiar with him, Ai Lu is still very confused in his heart and wants to know why.
".Your Excellency, where do you plan to go next?"
Ai Lu asked.
After leaving the bridge cave, both of them changed their attire. Ai Lu wore a peaked cap and loose jacket, while Song Shi wore a coat and a bracelet made of lapis lazuli.
“Where were you going?” Song Shi looked around and did not look back.
Ai Lu said without hesitation: "Go eastward and never punish evil."
"Xiangdong. Are you planning to go to the site of the Knowledge Council?" Song Shi recalled the map and understood. Said: "Yes, those scholars are indeed quite crazy."
Different from the [Four Huangtians] where Ai Lu was born, it is governed by the "Chief of the Four Huangtians" and the "Eight Imperial Guards" under his command. It uses the four roads of "green, red, black and white" as the program to unify the believers in the counties under its jurisdiction. power.
As one of the components of the Pan-Eastern Continent Federation, the [Learning Council] is completely different from the [Four Bright Heavens]. They respect absolute rationality and the pursuit of knowledge. They are known as "If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening." ".
In the counties under the jurisdiction of the [Learning Council], everyone will undergo a long selection process from the time they learn to speak, which will continue until they reach adulthood, and the final result will be announced.
Talented people are promoted to the "academy", receive difficult education, and become researchers. The most outstanding ones will enter the "Nine Academy", the highest academic and governing body of the Knowledge Council. There are academies of science specializing in different fields.
Those without talent will sink into the "workshop". After short-term professional and technical training, based on the results of career evaluation, they will be placed in the positions that are considered the most suitable. From then on, they will work hard all their lives just to support the Nine Hospitals.
Not to mention the research that the Ninth Academy has specially hidden, there are also many that are quite outrageous and can be called outrageous in terms of those that have been exposed.
No wonder Ai Lu planned to go there.
“I want to go to Linjiang.” Song Shi smiled: “It’s not a side trip, but it’s not a detour either. Together?"
"It's feasible."
Ai Lu thought for a moment: "Linjiang City is very close. We can arrive there at the latest tomorrow afternoon. What is your purpose? ”
"Just confirming something."
Song Shi yawned.
"By the way."
Then, the young man turned his head, glanced at the undulating city outline behind him, and said slowly.
“After chasing for so long, it’s time to deal with it.”
·… He looked at someone carefully.
I saw a carefree man sitting at the very back of the stage.
He was wearing a black robe, his chest was half exposed, his expression was lazy, and he was obviously distracted.
But at this moment, as if he had captured the commander's observation, the man suddenly spoke.
"Why be so cautious? I ask myself, I have never hindered or dictated your arrangements in the past few days, right?"
He said with a smile: "So don't worry about me, just go on. "
——This man is clearly Kurano Ting.
Hearing what the other party said, the officer's expression did not change. He was still calm and dignified, but he was relieved in his heart.
He comes from a fourth-class family. Although he is not the most direct bloodline, he is still considered a core heir. From the moment he was born, he has the status of a fourth-class person.
Later he joined the 10th Bureau. After working diligently over the years, he changed his identity from "hidden" to "explicit" and became the pillar of the family.
Only those with "fifth class" and above are qualified to be called aristocratic families. In the eyes of those seventh- and eighth-class people at the bottom, everyone in a fifth-class aristocratic family is "fifth-class" and there is no difference. .
Of course he is not so ignorant. He knows very well that even if they have the same status, there are differences between them, that is, "explicit and hidden".
Just like the fourth-class family [Songnan Liu Family] from which he was born, he also has a fourth-class status. Those good-for-nothing children who rely purely on reincarnation and only know how to eat, drink and have fun are the "hidden fourth class".
As soon as he reaches adulthood, he can be sent to any idle position and enjoy a life of worry-free enjoyment based on his family background, but that's all.
Those truly capable disciples will devote themselves to the Tenth Bureau, the army, the court and other places, and climb up step by step. When one day they are promoted to high positions and prove themselves, they will become "Ming Si" wait". Those who are qualified to bear the prefix "Ming" are the real pillars that hold up a family and never fall!
And the chief is a "Ming Fourth Class"!
However these things.
These so-called "fourth-class Ming" status, high positions in the tenth bureau, pillars of fourth-class families, and their own outstanding talents are simply not worth it in front of the second son of the dignified second-class family [Hekai Zangshi] Mention it!
The opponent is the direct blood of the Zang family, and his talent is even more terrifying. He entered the third ring at the age of twenty-six. His training is unparalleled, and he has gained the great name of "Descending Netherworld". It is loved and cultivated by collectors.
The pillar of the family?
As long as nothing unexpected happens, Kurano Tei will become one of the pillars of the entire Eastern Continent Republic in the future!
Twenty years later, all the Gong Gong princes in the court will surely have a place in the hidden court.
With such talent and family background, don’t talk about using power to overwhelm others or dictating yourself. Kuranoba had no reason to kill him here on the spot, and he would only give him a symbolic punishment afterwards. one time.
Huh.
Fortunately, the second master of the collector is indeed as easy-going and generous as the rumors say.
So, the chief continued.
"After chasing for so many days, we still failed repeatedly. What do you have to say?"
"The report, based on the current intelligence summary and analysis, and another hexagram, we have been able to confirm that Song The next target is "Said."
The man replied: "Linjiang City."
"In addition, the name is 'Xie Zhi. "We have also found out the identity of the assassin." Someone else said: "His name is Ai Lu. He is a psychic from the Sihuang Heaven. His personality portrait shows that he has strong paranoia and martyrdom tendencies, and he tries to imitate the legend. The mythical beast Haechi is used to kill evil.”
"After our assessment, the meeting between him and Song Shi should be accidental, but now, we cannot rule out the possibility that the two parties will start to go together."
"These are really two birds of a feather, working together." A member of the tenth round. The clerk snorted coldly.
“Please pay attention to your words.”
A voice suddenly rang.
The clerk was startled for a moment, then subconsciously followed the sound, and then his whole body instantly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. A cold chill climbed up from his spine section by section, as if it was pinching his heart.
The collector's second son
is looking at him.
Kurano Ting tilted his head slightly, as if he had seen something incredible and incomprehensible. His expression was strange, and he slowly looked at the staff.
"Why do you think these two people are the same and colluding with each other?" He asked: "What is your name?"
Facing this gaze, the clerk was sweating profusely and reluctantly spoke. : "Xu Xuyuan."
"The surname is Xu."
Zang Yeting raised his head and thought for a while before putting it down: "Are you from the Xu family of Changchuan?"
"Yes"
< br>"A fifth-class member of the Ming Dynasty from a fifth-class family, you can do it, you are worthy of it, and you dare to talk nonsense about them?"
Zang Yeting stood up, and under the gaze of everyone, he walked slowly Walked up to the staff.
He was not much taller than the latter, but at this moment, he was like a king overlooking the ants in the world.
"Do you know that I have seriously considered which of my sisters should I marry to him?" Zang Yeting looked at the other party gently: "Even that Ai Lu has Extraordinary posture, even if you are on the wrong track now, it is definitely not something someone like you can chatter about."
The other party was trembling and did not dare to speak at all.
Kang Yeting sighed and shook his head slightly.
“Now that we have determined that we are in Linjiang, let’s set off. I will take care of Song Shi and Ai Lu myself.”
As the words echoed, the man waved his sleeves, turned around, and stepped out of the door.
Behind him, the clerk stood still.
It wasn’t until a long time later that someone wanted to step forward and pat him, and they were shocked to find that his expression had long been stiff and solidified. Then in silence, the whole person collapsed like dust and turned into a wisp of deep purple gas. , Piaomiao disappeared without a trace.
