When Song Zhicun saw this, he smiled and said, "You came just in time, these two colleagues are about to join your team and go to the exchange meeting with you. Li Haner, Li Ying's sister, someone from the East China Branch, you should have heard of it. , and Yang Shouyi, a disciple of Qingcheng Mountain's Yuanming Palace. You might as well get to know each other first!"
Li Haner and Li Ying look a bit similar, of course, the facial features are more beautiful and soft, she has a kind of classical beauty, but it does not make people feel too quiet, after the other party was stunned, he took the initiative to reach out to the winter solstice: "So You are the winter solstice, look up for a long time."
"Don't dare, you are welcome to come." The Winter Solstice shook hands with the two of them and said with a smile, "The others haven't come yet, so I'm the only one at the General Administration, why don't I show you around for a visit?"
Although Li Han'er worked under Tang Jing in the East China Branch, she went to Shencheng with Liu Qingbo last time on the Winter Solstice, but she failed to meet this long-known beauty.
It has been famous for a long time, not only because the other party is Li Ying's sister, the daughter of Director Li Rui, the consultant of the General Administration, but also he still remembers, He Yu said vaguely before that Li Haner likes Long Shen, but unfortunately the goddess has a heart to support Wang Wumeng, and it will not end. Of.
Because of this relationship, it was inevitable that the winter solstice looked at Li Han'er twice, but how keen a woman's intuition was, that is, these two eyes, were immediately noticed by Li Han'er.
The other party smiled at the winter solstice and said, "Director Dong, have you forgotten that my father is the consultant of the General Bureau, and I come here a lot."
She called the position of the Winter Solstice in the Lucheng Office, and it is reasonable to say that there is nothing wrong with it, but Li Haner entered the Special Administration Bureau earlier than the Winter Solstice and even her own brother, and now her position in the East China Branch is not low. This director Dong made the Winter Solstice faintly aware of a less friendly taste.
He knew that Li Haner had a crush on Long Shen, but he wouldn't go to eat vinegar with a girl for no apparent reason, so his first impression of Li Haner was just a little curious, and he felt that the other party was very kind. Beautiful, but Li Han'er's sudden hostility made him a little confused.
Yang Shouyi: "I heard that the roof of the General Administration is very cleverly designed. If there is a chance, I would like to go and see it."
Winter Solstice said with a smile: "No problem, I'll take you up now. There are three groups in the General Bureau, and the spaces used are different. I only have access cards for the second group, so I can only take you to see the second group, but the scenery is similar."
After this little episode, even though he saw Long Shen inside, he couldn't put aside his new partner and ran to talk to Long Shen. He only had time to look at the other party, and he took Yang Shouyi and Li Han'er away.
On the way, Winter Solstice remembered Yang Shouyi's division, and asked, "Young Daoist Yang, are you a junior from Bureau Wu?"
"Yes, Bureau Wu is my uncle." Yang Shouyi said lightly and didn't say much.
Among the six people who went to exchange this time, except for Yang Shouyi, all were members of the Special Administration Bureau. Yang Shouyi felt that he was selected because of his ability. He was indeed a leader of the new generation of Yuanming Palace. I don't want people to think that he came through the back door by relationship.
Coincidentally, when the group walked to the rooftop, Zhang Song just came back from out of town.
He was assigned to an office in Central China. He happened to have nothing to do. He was close to the capital and came back faster than others. Zhang Song only knew that he was selected for the exchange group, so he rushed back to Beijing and went directly to the director's office to report. The head of the delegation had set the winter solstice, and the smile on his face faded at that time.
Seeing that he was unhappy, Song Zhicun comforted him warmly: "Li Ying has a mission and cannot participate in this exchange. Your ability is naturally not inferior to others, but the selection of the head of the regiment needs to be considered in all aspects, so the winter solstice was finally decided. ."
Zhang Songweng said, "Isn't it because he is a disciple of the Dragon Bureau?"
Seeing him like this, Song Zhicun's smile also faded: "Then you are still a direct disciple of Longhu Mountain, if you really think so, every time you communicate in the future, wouldn't it be enough to send the person with the greatest background? You are a group of people, you should have It is up to Bureau Wu to talk to you, but Bureau Wu is busy, I hope you can understand our intentions. Zhang Song, in terms of ability, you don't have to be different from Li Ying on the Winter Solstice, but if you don't change your temperament, the future will be very difficult. It's hard to go. The selection of you this time is already our trust in you, and I hope you can do it yourself."
Zhang Song didn't say anything else, Song Zhicun waved his hand to let him go out, but he shook his head secretly in his heart, it's hard to change after the person is chosen, but this time out, the head of the winter solstice not only has to fight outside, but also has to convince people internally. It is estimated that there are many problems, even Yang Shouyi and Li Haner are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Capable people are bound to have a little temper, so it is even more rare to have the ability to take care of the overall situation. Thinking of Li Ying and the others who were far away in Japan, Song Zhicun couldn't help sighing again.
Although Li Haner said that she had been to the General Administration many times, she still followed Yang Shouyi to visit the rooftop at the Winter Solstice. Dongzhi knew that she was familiar with the General Administration, so she didn't need to say more. Most of the time, she was mainly for Yang Shouyi. Keep an introduction.
"The space derivative technique is used here, which can adjust the four seasons and day and night, but the sun, moon and landscape are all real."
On the winter solstice, I went to the stream and picked up a handful of water.
In the distance, the mountains are verdant, the scenery is full of flowers, and the trees are bare outside in the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, but there is a scene of spring returning to the earth. Yang Shouyi really admired it.
The Qingcheng Mountain Yuanming Palace is also surrounded by enchantments, but it is impossible to control the four seasons and day and night at will. An insider looks at an expert, and Yang Shouyi knows how difficult it is to create such a space, let alone a space where the three groups are independent and overlapping.
With only one hand, the Special Administration Bureau can quell outsiders.
However, Yang Shouyi only expressed his admiration for the hidden dragon and crouching tiger of the General Administration. In his eyes, the winter solstice, which is two years younger than him, is not counted as a "dragon" or "tiger" at all.
"Fellow Daoist Dong, I heard that you will lead the delegation this time. It must be because you are the best among all of us." Yang Shouyi finally got to the point, but it can be heard from these words. , he is not a person who is euphemistic enough, otherwise he should turn a few more corners.
The winter solstice pretended to be stupid: "The leadership of the team is up to the leaders above, and I don't know much about it."
Yang Shouyi couldn't hold back, so he had to get straight to the point and tell his intentions: "Whether it's true or not, I heard that Daoist Dong has not been in the cultivation world for a long time, and he has been favored by Director Long and accepted as an apprentice, so it can be seen that you are indeed Very good, I wonder if I have the opportunity to discuss with you?"
The winter solstice coughed twice: "To tell you the truth, I just came back from a mission yesterday, and the injury hasn't healed yet."
To show that he was not lying, he also raised his hand and shook his left hand, which was covered in plaster.
Fractures and dislocations are injuries that practitioners have not experienced a few times, let alone other, Yang Shouyi has suffered countless injuries since he was a child, and he really doesn't think the fracture is serious, because he still Zeng Handong was limping in the twelfth lunar month and was thrown into the glacier by his master to cultivate.
At the moment, Winter Solstice's face is ruddy and his steps are light. He doesn't look like he has an internal injury.
Yang Shou said: "We can learn from each other with one hand. If you are afraid of accidental injury, you can just break a branch without a sword, how about it?"
The winter solstice still shook his head: "My other hand also hurts, and I have to be fed when I eat."
Yang Shouyi was speechless for a moment, and said, "It takes a hundred days to hurt your muscles and bones, and we will set off in half a month. If you can't even do it, will it be alright then?"
The winter solstice smiled and said, "What will happen then? When you go to war for the country, you can't cry even if you shed blood and sweat!"
Yang Shouyi:…
The aggressive general method was declared invalid, and he couldn't force others to take action.
Yang Shouyi was a little disappointed to think that such a person would be their leader and would lead them to fight against many practitioners from all over the world.
He was not the only one disappointed, but also Li Haner.
For a long time after hearing the news of Long Shen's apprenticeship, Li Han'er was a little unbelievable.
Not many people know about Long Shen's true body, and Li Han'er is one of the few people. Because of this, she can't imagine that someone like Long Shen who is arrogant in his heart and whose eyes are higher than the top will also have eyes. apprentice.
She knew that she was a little uneasy in her heart, and she became more and more curious about the winter solstice, which was not conducive to practice, but everyone has emotions, love and hatred, and sometimes they can think about it without understanding the truth.
It's a pity that she was very busy at the East China Branch. When they went to Shencheng on the winter solstice, she happened to go to the Northeast, so she missed a trip. This time, Li Ying was unable to attend the exchange meeting, so her sister took the place of her brother. When I came to the General Administration, I saw people who never forget.
In her mind, the person who can be accepted as an apprentice by Long Shen must be someone with extremely high talent and a similar character to him, maybe taciturn, maybe cold and proud, but it will never be the young man with the hippie smiling face and no serious appearance. people.
In addition to disappointment, Li Han'er gave birth to a trace of inexplicable anger, not knowing whether it was not worth it for Long Shen or not for herself.
They didn't talk for a while, and the two refused to do anything when they saw the winter solstice. They didn't even have the interest to continue the conversation. Li Haner proposed to go back to rest. Yang Shouyi was Wu Bingtian's nephew and had a place to live in the capital, so he was going to be with her. Walking together, the winter solstice was unaware of their indifference, and they warmly invited the two to have dinner, which was naturally declined by them.
The winter solstice sent the two away, and immediately went downstairs to find Long Shen. As a result, Long Shen was not in the office, and he bumped into Zhang Song, who was not in a good mood.
"Old Zhang, you're back? Li Han'er and Yang Shouyi just left. If you chase them out now, you can still catch up with them. There are a lot of people today. When Lao Liu and Liu Si come back another day, I'll invite you to dinner together. !" He hurriedly looked for Long Shen and greeted Zhang Song casually.
Unexpectedly, his wrist was suddenly pulled, and when he pulled it, the other party held it so tightly that he couldn't pull it back.
The winter solstice looked back in doubt.
Zhang Song said bluntly: "If Li Ying is the head of the regiment now, I have nothing to say, but if it is you, I am not convinced."
Winter Solstice blinked and didn't speak, but his head slammed into Zhang Song's head unexpectedly!
Zhang Song was startled, and subconsciously leaned back and dodged. Dongzhi took the opportunity to twist the opponent's wrist with one hand and pressed him against the wall. Zhang Song tried hard, but did not break free.
He quickly raised his knees against the opponent's abdomen, but Winter Solstice seemed to have anticipated his intention, and his body flashed to the side, stepping on his other foot faster than he did.
Zhang Song cried out in pain, causing the doors of several offices in the corridor to open, and several heads stick out.
Winter Solstice takes the opportunity to let go and retreat.
"Old Zhang, I'm still disabled, how can you do it?"
In the end who is the first hand! Zhang Song's feet hurt so much that he gasped for air, gnashing his teeth and staring at him.
"I thought you went out for a trip, the famous family complex should have changed a lot, why is it still the same?" Dongzhi shrugged, "Actually, I don't want to be the head of the regiment, but if you have the ability, you can go to the top to change their minds, and let go of my anger. What's the use? Either you are really unhappy, or you can choose to quit, but don't block me in a foreign country, otherwise it's not my face, but the face of our country."
Without waiting for him to respond, Dongzhi turned around and left.
Back downstairs, Long Shen was already feeding the white cat. The cat was very enthusiastic today because of the can in his hand. As soon as Long Shen took the can in his hand, it kept meowing and circling around Long Shen. .
"Master." Winter Solstice crouched down beside him.
"What do you think of the two of them?" Long Shen asked Li Han'er and Yang Shouyi.
Winter Solstice: "It should be very good, but they want to learn from me, I refuse, and I find an excuse to hide."
Long Shen glanced at him: "You can't escape."
One power to subdue ten guilds, Liwei is an inevitable means.
Winter Solstice said with a smile: "Wait for everyone to come together again, or else a group of people will come, let's discuss it, what a hassle! And let's put it this way, the longer they are suppressed now, the stronger the shock they will be at that time. You can solve everyone at once, don't you think?"
Long Shen has only two words to comment on this: "Naughty."
He squatted on the ground still, let the white cat eat the canned food with his own hand, and played with his heart on the winter solstice, lying on Longshen's back from behind, his chin resting on the other's neck.
There was a sudden increase in the weight of a person on his back, but Long Shen didn't even sway at all, and he was still very stable.
Didn't push the winter solstice away, didn't say he was not good.
The winter solstice is so cheeky and continues to rely on it.
"Old Zhang was with us for one term, but he still doesn't accept me very much, and Yang Shouyi and Li Han'er, one is not affiliated with the Special Administration Bureau, and the other is older than me, both of them are arrogant and disobedient. It's just that Lao Liu has worked with me a few times, and we have some tacit understanding, otherwise there must be one more objection to me now. Master, when you decided to let me be the leader, did you expect it? "
Long Shen said: "The two of them are no worse than you. If you use them well, they will be a great help. It is impossible to find people with ordinary abilities to communicate this time. Otherwise, in this session, in terms of cooperation and obedience, late Banxia, Gu Meiren and the others are better, but it doesn't matter if they can survive."
Before the winter solstice, I also learned from the information that there is a possibility of death in the competitive stage. Although the probability is not high, the danger is there, and he also attended the meeting last time in Bangkok. The exchange conference, by absorbing the vitality of practitioners, can restore vitality faster.
Therefore, the addition of Yang Shouyi and Li Han'er is undoubtedly the two major new forces. Of course, the premise is that everyone is willing to cooperate with each other, otherwise, the team will disperse.
Thinking about the winter solstice gives a headache: "I will try my best to take them out completely and bring them back completely."
Long Shen smiled. It was the sense of responsibility of the Winter Solstice that made him finally selected.
"I believe you."
Winter Solstice got off his back, turned his face lightly, and looked at each other.
"Then Master, are you hiding something from me?"
Long Shen's face did not change: "No."
Solstice: "Really?"
Long Shen patted him on the shoulder: "Go take a bath, rest early, and get up early tomorrow to practice."
The winter solstice reached out and grabbed the opponent's wrist, Long Shen shrank, he followed, and the two passed a few tricks in a blink of an eye. Long Shen didn't do his best, of course, the Winter Solstice was not a desperate posture, but he was surprised to find that he was able to fight with Long Shen after more than ten moves without losing. It is indeed practiced.
Long Shen felt that it was almost done, and grabbed his hand directly to stop this small trick.
"good."
Students who have taken the Dragon Board class know that getting a good sentence from him is more difficult than winning a lottery ticket.
Winter Solstice's eyebrows and eyes curled up: "That's because the teacher taught well. But the disciple never hides from the teacher. Should the teacher return the same?"
Long Shen doesn't like to lie, and he is not good at lying. In his long life, he either said it or didn't want to say it. No one could force him to say it or made him have to hide it. The winter solstice was the first.
It turns out that he lied for the first time, and his skills were unfamiliar, and he had to practice more.
"I'm going to Japan." In the end, Long Shen still told the truth.
Winter Solstice's expression changed, with panic and panic in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.
"Master, do you want me to lead the team to communicate?"
Long Shen did not answer directly, but said, "Wu Bingtian and Tang Jing will be with me, don't worry."
Although Wu Bingtian was more keen to get involved in officialdom than the other two deputy directors, the Winter Solstice would not doubt his ability at all, and Tang Jing also needless to say, these two people who were casually picked up were better than him now.
Then again, Long Shen often goes out on the field because he likes to go out, but he is too strong, he can already hold ten by himself, this time even Wu Bingtian and Tang Jing are going together, it must be Li Ying and the others already. I can't hold it anymore.
Long Shen saw that he was in shock, so he took the initiative to reveal the mystery.
"Ding Lan's soul lamp is off."
A cultivator will light a soul lamp for him when he goes out. Ding Lan’s teacher is not a sect. The soul lamp is deposited in the Special Administration Bureau. Once the soul lamp is extinguished, it means that the body is dead and the soul is gone, and it can never be recovered. room.
"Then, what about Li Ying and Yu Bureg?" The winter solstice was no longer in a playful mood.
"Li Ying's soul lamp is still on, but the light has dimmed a lot. Yu has no regrets, he has no soul lamp." Long Shen said, seeing the dignified expression on the winter solstice, he added, "Don't worry, let's go take a look. "
Japan is Otowa Hatohiko's lair. Before Li Ying and the others passed, they were actually ready to sacrifice. They even wrote a suicide note. Among the three of them, Ding Lan and Yu Buhui were not newcomers. They even listened to the winter solstice. Said, if it wasn't for Yu Bu regrets that he was not willing to be restrained, he would be at least a sub-bureau director, or a deputy director of the general bureau. Although Li Ying was a little less experienced, he wasn't as impulsive and disobedient as Zhang Song. When the three of them went to Japan, they would definitely make a plan and be fully prepared, but even so, they still encountered unpredictable dangers.
Long Shen said: "During World War II, Otoyu got the secret of the stele in China. He sent people to search for the information and bring it back to Japan. If he couldn't bring it back, he set it on fire and blew it up with explosives. Moreover, he used a magic weapon to The body, from the human to the devil, may be more powerful than the previous human devil, or the phantom clone of Popeye."
He didn't want to worry about the Winter Solstice, but since the other party already knew it, he didn't want to hide it any longer, and directly told what he knew and speculated about.
Winter Solstice: "What about Wuzhiqi?"
Long Shen was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know."
The winter solstice sank.
He quickly calmed his mind and said with a smile: "Master, then give me a soul lamp too."
"I don't have a soul lamp." Long Shen paused for a while, then said, "But I will inject my qi and soul essence into the Changshou sword, so that you can sense my vitality."
If you die, you will naturally feel it.
It was only at the Winter Solstice that Long Shen had to pass the Changshou Sword, saying that he wanted to repair the devilish energy on it, but in fact, he may have already had such a plan.
"Will this affect you?" he asked Long Shen.
"No, people have three souls and seven souls, and one soul and one soul can't be missing, but I'm not a human, so it won't matter."
The winter solstice's eyes were a little red, he lowered his head and rubbed it back, rubbing the sourness back, still his usual relaxed and happy smile.
Long Shen likes to see his smile like this, fresh and full of vigor.
"Don't write a suicide note, I don't want to receive a suicide note." Winter Solstice said.
Long Shen nodded: "I don't write."
Not writing a suicide note seems to mean that people will come back.
The winter solstice is a little relieved. "when are we leaving?"
Long Shen: "In a few days, I need to apply for documents and make a disguise."
The winter solstice understands that they must forge their documents and identities to enter the country, just like Fujikawa Aoi came here, otherwise it is estimated that as soon as the front foot goes, the Japanese on the back foot will know.
"Master, when this matter is over, don't take over for the time being."
His master is called a model worker. He hardly ever takes any annual leave every year. If these annual leave can be accumulated, he can take at least a year and a half.
Long Shen: "Okay."
The winter solstice cheered up: "Then let's go to Lijiang, no, let's go to Lugu Lake, it's quiet and beautiful, I remember there were several hotels near Lugu Lake, and they were built by the lake. We rented the lake-view room for the first half of the year and sat there every day. Watch the lake from the balcony and enjoy the sun!”
Long Shen: "Okay."
No matter what the winter solstice said, Long Shen should always do it well. Later, he sat on the sofa next to Long Shen, so sleepy that he forgot what he said, and vaguely praised Yulu for not watering it. He was alive and well, and then he heard Long Shen say to him again, don't talk to Yulu in the future, just tell him what you have to say, the voice is vague, can't remember the winter solstice, and then fell asleep.
Before falling asleep, a thought flashed across his mind. Long Shen seemed to have said that he would show him something when he came back, but he forgot, and Long Shen also seemed to have forgotten.
As soon as dawn dawns, there is peace and no dreams.
Tang Jing came to the capital the next day to meet with Long Shen. Together with Wu Bingtian, the three often gathered together for small meetings, presumably to make plans to go to Japan. No one could get in, except for a few people including the Winter Solstice. No one knew that they were about to go to Japan to complete an important and extremely dangerous mission.
Just like Li Ying, except for a few leaders in the bureau, even his sister Li Haner didn't know that his brother's life or death was still unknown.
On the other side, Liu Qingbo and Liu Si soon arrived in Beijing, and the group of six was finally assembled.
Song Zhicun immediately called them together for a small meeting, and told them the main purpose and process of this exchange meeting.
