Chapter 426: Meet Again

"Is there any suspected secret agent from the Privy Council operating in the camp outside the city?"

In the Secretariat branch, Yan Qing asked casually after listening to the clerk's report, "What is the secret agent doing now?"

"Digging..."

"What do you mean?" Qing Jian frowned.

"This person has applied for a temporary labor job from the Ministry of Construction and is working with others to excavate the soil needed for road construction." The clerk had to explain in detail.

Yan Qing was silent for a while before speaking again, "Jin Xia should have said that I am not responsible for the actual arrest. If you think this person is suspicious, just notify the arrest team to arrest him."

"It was Mr. Li from the arrest team who asked me to inform you." The latter quickly added, "All the strange things this person showed indicate that she may be a Qi-sensing person. Mr. Li hopes that you can come to the scene to provide support, in case the other party A sudden attack will not cause heavy casualties. "

It is indeed her mission to protect these people from being harmed by the alchemists.

But would a secret agent with the ability to sense energy let people discover clues so casually?

Yan Qing stood up and asked, "Where is she suspicious?"

The clerk hesitated, "She can do more work alone than three people..."

…

"It's done." Yu Linglong patted the mud on her hands and handed the hoe back to the statistician, "Is this okay?"

The statistician looked at the tall mounds of dirt beside her and swallowed, "No, no problem. Please come with me."

"It's over! You're dead!" Shadow hasn't stopped since she started digging. "Half an hour has passed since you were exposed. Jinxia City must have secretly mobilized people to prepare to kill you! The fact that no one has come up to ask about your situation is proof!”

"You're so verbose, can you shut up?"

The shadow suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of her, "Do you think you are invincible? If the Nine Heavens Thunder Envoy appears in front of you, your next breath will turn into a piece of coke! There is also the one named Luo Qingqing who is listening Otherwise, let her get within ten steps and you will definitely die -"

Yu Linglong pinched Shadow's mouth so that he could not say anything, "Before that, I will be annoyed to death by you."

"Girl?" The statistician looked at her movements in a daze.

"Nothing, you continue."

"Ahem - this is your reward, please take it." The other party handed over a note.

"this is……"

"Jinxia City's trial-produced food coupons. Not only here, but in any store opened by the Food Department of the Secretariat, you can use this coupon to exchange for the same amount of food."

Is it effective throughout Shenzhou... Yu Linglong took the note and looked at it carefully, and was instantly fond of this thing - it felt delicate to the touch and had a certain degree of toughness. It was more like a kind of paper than paper. cloth. At the same time, there is a colorful ink painting printed on it. The content of the painting is like a spectacular city. Every line that makes up the city is as thin as a hair. It is not an exaggeration to say that every detail is vivid.

On the top of the food coupon, there is also the word "hundred" written, which probably refers to one hundred yuan.

The branch office has set up a special exchange shop for temporary workers. Judging from the classified layout, it is exactly the same as the shopping area in the camp. Not only that, there is also a notice board erected around these ice baskets, which uses illustrations to show how to handle and cook these seafood, as if they are afraid that the residents will not know how to eat fish, shells, shrimps and crabs.

Think so carefully!

Yu Linglong couldn't help but think to herself, the biggest feeling after going through this process is that Jinxia City is indeed considering the people of Shenzhou, and the consideration is more considerate than the locals themselves think.

Would the previous government have done this?

Absolutely impossible.

What about the Privy Council?

She asked herself, and found that she was not sure.

Interestingly, this trip was indeed not in vain.

This is just in Anshen City - if we go to Jinxia, ​​it will be more interesting, right?

She couldn't help but think of the stories she heard in the brothel.

If Jinxia City is better than all the cities in Daqi, can the Privy Council's approach still be called correct?

"Traitor!" At this time, the shadow, which had finally been quiet for a while, suddenly shouted.

"I will become a traitor just by choosing a fish?"

"No, the traitor is behind you!" The shadow had already drawn the dark long bow, pointing directly at her back.

What?

Yu Linglong turned around in surprise and found that standing opposite her was Yan Qing, the former Green Sword of the Privy Council - the lock weaver.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and then Yan Qing tilted her head to a deserted place on the roadside, "Go over there to talk?"

"Um."

"Master Yan?" The members of the arrest team following her asked worriedly.

"It doesn't matter, this is an acquaintance of mine."

The two crossed the roadbed and walked into the woods sprouting new buds. They waited until no one else could be seen before slowly stopping.

"Are you here to execute me on the orders of the Privy Council?" Yan Qing asked first.

"That's right!" Shadow shouted, "Kill her and you will be promoted to Green Sword!"

Yu Linglong slapped her backhand, causing Shadow to stumble, "Of course not, I didn't expect to meet you here! I said it was purely a coincidence, do you believe it?"

After a moment of silence, Yan Qing raised the corner of her mouth and said, "I believe it. Thank you - you were the one who warned me to be careful in the dungeon."

"It's just a piece of cake. To be honest, I think His Highness the Second Prince is too biased in this matter. It's probably because no one has refused his invitation for a long time." Yu Linglong waved her hand, "If I really came to kill you, you would be caught without mercy. "?"

“No.” Yan Qing said frankly, “I have someone I want to take care of, so I don’t want to die yet.” When she said the second half of the sentence, her tone softened a lot.

“Sure enough, I knew there must be a reason why you were willing to follow Xia Fan out of prison.” Yu Linglong also breathed a sigh of relief.

“Which traitor doesn’t have a reason? This is not a reason for you to stop!” Shadow deliberately distanced himself from the other party, “Have you forgotten your original intention of joining the Privy Council and those grand wishes?”

Indeed. Yu Linglong stroked the hair on her forehead, "So... have you really decided to do it with the Third Princess? The goal of the Privy Council... is also our common wish. Do you want to give up all of that?"

Yan Qing hesitated, "I... have not pledged allegiance to Her Royal Highness the Princess. Moreover, I think Jinxia City may not be the direction to achieve the goal."

"What are you talking about?" Yu Linglong crossed her arms - she didn't like being fooled, "Jinxia City took in monsters, expanded the influence of the Qi Sensing, let the Taoist priests become the leaders of the secular world again, resisted foreign invasions, and seized the initiative in the competition to spy on the secrets of the Gate of Heaven, and vigorously Advocate the study of alchemy and benefit the world with its results. Which one can Jinxia City do? "

"If I hadn't been to Jinxia, ​​I would probably have the same idea as you." Yan Qing smiled slightly self-deprecatingly, "I have been here for only two or three months, and I have seen Jinxia City defeat the fleet of the Western Kingdom at sea and drive them out of the Qi Kingdom's waters. Not only that, I also participated in this battle in person - and the Jingji Privy Council has only defeated the Ambassador of the Saint Wing Islands, Olina Okan, so far, right?"

"Defeat... the Kingdom Fleet?" Yu Linglong repeated subconsciously. It was the first time she heard this news.

"And the frozen fish, from the fishing to the refrigeration, all have the credit of the Qi Sensers. They are not transported to various places in Shenzhou by manpower, but the result of the combination of mechanical techniques and magic tools. Does this count as benefiting the people of the world from the benefits of magic?"

Yan Qing paused, "As for the first point... You may not believe it, but now the Qi awakening rate of the younger generation in Jinxia City is rapidly increasing. I don't know the reason yet, but those children are Qi Sensers, because I have verified it myself. There are more than two hundred Qi Sensers under the age of ten!"

Yu Linglong's heart rumbled, and she was stunned.
