In Zhiling City, raindrops are falling slightly in the sky.
Zhiling District, located in the southeast of the mainland, has a mild climate and can't see snow all year round. The rainy winter is already the coldest season here, and there are many fewer people on the streets of the market.
Maureen stood by the window of the guest room on the second floor of the inn, fiddling with the medicine bag in his hand. The bamboo window was slightly opened by him, and he looked out from time to time. Outside the window of the street, from time to time there will be pedestrians with umbrellas on the roadside, and there are also some vendors on the street, doing their small business in the rain. Maureen's eyes would not stop on them, but went three blocks away - on the bluestone Avenue, which is far wider and flat than the street outside the window. There are no stalls, not even a few pedestrians.
Maureen's eyes mostly go upstream of this avenue, and more will stay at the gate in the street and the deep courtyard inside the gate.
The gate is the gate of the hospital Supervision Committee of Zhiling District, and the courtyard is the courtyard of the hospital Supervision Committee of Zhiling district. Maureen has been watching like this for five days. He is a very patient person. He waits longer and harder than this. He has also experienced it. But now his companions looked a little impatient.
Fang Yizhu lay in bed and placed a plate of peanuts on his stomach. He didn't see what he did, but from time to time, a peanut jumped up and accurately flew into his mouth.
After the last peanut was eaten, Fang Yizhu sat up bored.
"Are you sure he will come?" Fang Yizhu said.
"Sure." Maureen said.
"Then why hasn't he been seen for eight days?" Fang Yizhu said.
"Maybe he is like us, waiting quietly for an opportunity somewhere." Maureen said.
"Let me point it out." Fang Yizhu took down the plate still sucked on his stomach and said, "first, we're not waiting for an opportunity, we're just waiting for him; Second, based on your understanding of him, do you think this is his style? "
"So I've been staring at the front door of the hospital supervision committee!" Maureen was also a little impatient. He can calmly wait for the opportunity, but Fang Yizhu is right. At present, he is not waiting for any opportunity. He is waiting for someone. After learning that Lu Ping was going to save Su Tang, Maureen immediately began to inquire about Su Tang's whereabouts. The intelligence network of their circle was very powerful. They soon found that the Nightingale was shoveled out by the city master's house of xiafeng District, while Su Tang was taken away by the hospital Supervision Committee. At present, he is detained in the hospital Supervision Committee of xiafeng district.
So Maureen hurried to Zhiling city and began to inquire and pay attention secretly. After eight days, there was no news of Lu Ping and nothing else happened. The only accident was that Fang Yizhu had followed him from Beidou college. Maureen couldn't understand this man. But he couldn't get rid of it. He poisoned three times and failed to succeed in two sneak attacks. Finally, he had to let this guy go.
"I said, brother, it's not a thing to wait for a rabbit!" Fang Yi sighed.
"I pointed it out." Maureen followed Fang Yizhu's tone, "first, I'm not your brother; Second, you can go anytime. "
"I think you are very good at finding people. You have a little confidence in yourself and leave it to you." Fang Yizhu said, then lay back and slept with his head covered.
Maureen looked at him and bit his teeth. He really wanted to poke the poison drill in his sleeve directly. But just then, two people came suddenly on the always quiet hospital Supervision Committee Avenue.
Lupin?
Maureen looked quickly, but soon disappointed, No.
The two people who came stopped outside the gate of the hospital supervision committee, waited for a while and went in.
Not from the hospital supervisory committee.
At this distance, Maureen could only tell from his clothes that they were not members of the hospital supervisory committee. This is the first time in eight days that the NRC has had a visitor.
Will it have anything to do with Su Tang? Maureen thought. The two who went in came out of the hospital supervisory committee in about an hour.
This is right. Maureen saw each other's eyebrows and found that he knew each other.
What kind of person is it?
Maureen thought of the point spirit meeting a year ago. The examiner who just walked out was the examiner who was particularly disrespectful to the pick wind college at that time, but was knocked down by Lu Ping's punch!
What's your name again? Maureen couldn't remember his name. He just remembered that he seemed to be a master from four colleges.
By the way, it's Ding Wen!
When Maureen remembered, Ding Wen was coming out of the front door of the hospital Supervision Committee. He seemed unconscious of the chilly rainy day in the south. After walking out of the front door, he looked back at the deep courtyard inside the door and suddenly sighed. Beside him, Mu Yong, the oldest examiner at the Dianping Conference who came out with him, was silent.
Eighteen years. This is mu Yong's year as the examiner of the point spirit conference. In the long history of the general assembly, his years are nothing at all. However, during his 18 years in office, he has witnessed the gradual decline of the point spirit conference and its influence is becoming less and less powerful than before.
This year's soul pointing conference, even the date, failed to follow the old rules, because the imperial authorities, especially the hospital Regulatory Commission, have been pointing fingers at them for what happened at last year's soul pointing conference, resulting in delays in reporting the soul pointing conference.
In the past, such a thing could not have happened.
The point soul assembly has nothing to do with the Empire and the Council. Its history is even longer than that of the Xuanjun empire. No one or force can dictate the general assembly of point soul.
But now, this state is a thing of the past. After the three empires divided the continent, the rule began to infiltrate in all aspects. In addition to the four colleges and the six strong ones, there are fewer and fewer forces that can transcend their rule. Even the relationship between the four universities and the Empire began to be subtle. The six strong ones have always been the object of the three empires.
In contrast, what is the point spirit conference?
Ding Wen, the examiner who wants to recast the influence of the point soul conference, is not optimistic about the future trend of the point soul conference. They received a lot of rules and regulations from the hospital supervisory committee before they were able to hold this event; What about next time? Are there some new rules? Next time, next time?
He did not exclude more cooperation with the Empire, but also believed that this was necessary for the general assembly to expand its influence. However, it was not his original intention to obey the Empire in the end. What's the difference between such a soul gathering and the soul show held by the Empire? Has it not also become a tool for them to gather talents and consolidate their rule?
"Boring!" Ding Wen suddenly sighed.
Mu Yong was still silent. He knew what Ding Wen was referring to, but he didn't know what else to say.
They left the hospital supervision committee, walked out of the avenue and walked in the direction of Dianping platform. At the end of the street ahead, three figures turned and came towards them.
At first, they didn't notice. When they got closer and closer, Ding Wen and Mu Yong finally stopped. Their expression was like seeing a ghost.
The two people looked at each other, but the three people's footsteps didn't stop and walked past them.
They stayed for a long time again, and Ding Wen's shoulders were wet by the rain - he had forgotten to evaporate the rain falling on his body with his power.
"Am I right?"
"I don't think so."
They stared back and looked at the three figures walking in the direction they came.
"Lu Ping?"
"Chu min?"
"The maid of the Qin family?"
"What are they going to do?"
