After Becoming the Hero’s Ex-fiancée - Chapter 99

[Chapter 99 The Great Secretary]

“Zheng Zhenren is fine.”

Before Zheng Wan went down the mountain, she went to the Deacon Hall to change her identity badge.

Yuchengjing is no longer a small circle. Instead, it is a three-petal jacaranda flower. This flower is a long-lost rare flower in the Xuancang world. It is rumored that when the flower blooms to seven petals, there will be a jacaranda flower in the whole world. rain–

However, no one has seen it.

Zheng Wan changed the jade card, and got the Yuelu and two sect disciple clothes to leave, but was stopped by the deacon:

“Wait a minute, the real person, there are still some things that have not been handed over to the real person.”

He took out a black storage bag from under the cabinet and pushed it mysteriously. Zheng Wan took it in a strange way, and when his soul sense probed it, he found that it was a set of black long gowns and a middle-level primeval stone.

“This is……”

Zheng Wan reluctantly glanced at the deacon’s Rong Chang’s face, her skin was fair and clean, not ugly, but… When she gets rid of the gu and wants to choose a waiter in the future, this person is still far from the standard.

Think of a less hurtful excuse to say no to him.

But the deacon said:

“The real person will still enjoy the monthly example of the person in charge of the armor-level black iron order, so don’t forget to receive it.”

“…”

Zheng Wan coughed, stretched out her hand to take the storage bag, thought about it, and asked again:

“What is the monthly rate of the Chief Secretary?”

“Ten high-level primordial stones.”

“……Oh.”

Zheng Wan felt a little sour in her heart, no, she was overwhelmed with sourness.

… I worked so hard to draw a month talisman, and it was not as good as the fixed salary that others received.

“How long does it take for a soldier to be promoted to the chief secretary?”

“Zheng Zhenren, this… Little I don’t know, but it should be based on merit. Armored soldiers will go up, as well as team soldiers, girders, etc., before they can reach the chief secretary. As far as the little ones know, there are now twelve main cities. , and only issued three Grand Secretary decrees, one of which is the True Monarch Li Wei of the Guixu Sect.”

The deacon looked at Zheng Zhenren who was still happy and suddenly looked like an eggplant hit by frost:

“Zheng…a real person?”

Zheng Zhenren waved his hand:

“It’s okay, farewell.”

She went out and went to the mission hall to have a look. Seeing that there was nothing suitable, she simply took an errand mission and went down the mountain.

The guard of Changlu Academy had known her for a long time, and when he saw Zheng Wan coming, he came over to greet her:

“The fairy came to see Mr. Zheng again?”

The old guard has never seen a monk like this fairy. Once other monks become immortals, they will not care about mortal affairs, not to mention visiting every three days—

“Mr. Zheng is still in class.”

he said.

After Zheng Wan heard it, she turned her footsteps and went to the back of the academy. As expected, A-Niang was embroidering in the courtyard, and next to her newly hired middle-aged woman was holding her child and coaxing, “Shan Shan laughed.”

Auntie turned her head:

“Shan Shan smiled and I knew it was you.”

“Auntie…” Zheng Wan put down the rose sugar cake she bought on the road, and got tired of her mother before she said, “How are you doing?”

“Your mother is eating and sleeping here, what’s wrong?”

Over there, the mountains danced with arms and legs, and they had to come to Zheng Wan with their heads attached, and they even made a cry of “ho, ho, ho”, and Mrs. Wang shook his head: “I don’t know what’s going on with this child, but I’m very close to you. Those of us who accompany us every day have become a foil.”

Zheng Wan went over, and the baby in the swaddle circled again because it was delicious and delicious. When she saw her, she laughed and reached out to grab her.

“Madam is right, as soon as the fairy comes, the mountains don’t want us anymore.”

The middle-aged lady helped join in the fun.

Zheng Wan looked at his dark eyes thoughtfully, only to think that this pair of eyes seemed to have been seen before, probably more suave and more divine.

Just thinking about it, can’t figure it out.

She teased:

“Did you take a name?”

“You Aye said, take the word ‘foolish’, how about that?”

“Yu? Zheng Yu?”

Xiaomingshan Mountain.

Thinking of this child’s life, it is a good name, Zheng Wan nodded: “Very good.”

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Zheng Zhai strode in. The work of preaching and teaching has made him very radiant recently. He laughed:

“You Aye, I took it, can’t it be good?”

“Tell the cook to make more, ah, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Tanggu cake, teriyaki chicken…” Zheng Zhai hurriedly called out a list of dishes and asked, “Wanwan thinks it’s enough?”

“enough.”

Zheng Wan dawdled in the academy until very late before she reluctantly left. When the appointed time was 12, she went to the house where she had been renting. The bug cart went around the west gate.

At the end of the day, except for some nights and nights, the entire Fengwu City had fallen into a deep sleep.

The west city gate was even more tightly closed, and in the midst of all the silence, a small bureau stood in the darkness of the night. It was adjacent to the city wall. The two palace lanterns in front of the gate were quiet. beast.

Zheng Wan stood for a while, then lifted her foot up the steps.

“Knock-”

The door opened from the inside.

A thin old man opened the door from the inside. His face was long and narrow, and his eyes were thin and narrow. When he raised his eyelids, he looked at people with a mean and arrogant tone. His voice was hoarse, as if he had been severely injured:

“who?”

Zheng Wan showed him the black iron order.

“I’m here to find the Chief Secretary.”

“Please come in.”

The old man’s eyes touched the black iron decree, and he was stunned for a moment, and then the expression of refusing to be thousands of miles away immediately melted like snow, and he arched:

“It turned out to be the black iron commander, please come in, please come in.”

Zheng Wan watched his cultivation in the late stage of Zhiweijing, and his heart was stunned. One of the gatekeepers was Zhiweijing, and he didn’t know… The other black iron commanders are sacred.

She silently followed behind the old man, went around a very narrow and dark corridor, a secret door, and came to a door.

The gate made of thousand-year-old black iron has complex tangled branches engraved on the edge, which at first glance has the meaning of thick and vicissitudes.

The old man stopped and bowed his head:

“arrive.”

He tapped the gilt-bronze hanging ring beside the door, and the ring sounded far away in a very strange rhythm, and the door opened with a “click la la” sound.

“Commander, please.”

The old man took a step back and bowed his head in a respectful manner.

Zheng Wan was touched by this solemn atmosphere, she lifted her foot and entered the door. Unexpectedly, it was an extremely spacious room, which seemed to be superimposed on the technique of space.

Directly opposite the door is a long case leaning against the window, behind the case is a whole storage compartment connected to the roof, next to a floor-to-ceiling copper carved incense tripod, and on the other side an eight floor-to-ceiling enamel screen separates the small room for rest. place.

A lamp is like a bean, and the candle is dimly lit.

Zheng Wan looked at the figure who wrote the crazy book after the long case, and was blessed:

“Master Chief.”

The chief secretary raised his head, but it was not the person she thought. This person had a round face, round eyes and round arms, and he looked naive. Seeing her coming, he smiled and said:

“But Yuqingmen’s new sergeant to report?”

“Yes.”

Not Cui Wang.

Zheng Wan heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, the two of them have some pasts. If they were colleagues who worked together, they would not be so happy.

But when I think about it, it’s nothing, it’s all over.

That person avoided her like a snake and scorpion, and he didn’t have any thoughts about it, just being a stranger.

“well.”

The round-faced cultivator nodded hurriedly and shook his head, “Zheng Lingshi made a mistake, this gentleman is not the chief secretary, but the one used by the chief secretary, and he usually handles some mundane matters here for him… The chief secretary is on the way. Retreat, not going out for a short time.”

“……Oh.”

Zheng Wan’s unhappiness rose again, thinking to herself, when that person leaves the customs and clears the gu, it would be better if the department doesn’t come.

Staying with God’s own son, she is easily out of balance.

“On the first day of the new sergeant, he will come to the department to report. Usually, there is nothing important, but when the city lord is recruited, he will try his best to do something for the people of each city…”

Zheng Wan understood, the duty of this commander, the higher one is the patrol officer in the mortal world, and the lower armored soldier like her is the prefect’s arrester.

I also do trivial things, and I also do things to protect the city.

The former relies on self-consciousness, go to the city lord’s mansion to take the task, and get some points in exchange for primeval stones and contributions; the latter, it is the city lord’s compulsory recruitment, such as if there is a catastrophe that needs to be resisted.

“Understood?”

“Understood.”

“Then come here to sign your name, press a bet, and you will be a member of our Black Iron Order in the future.”

Zheng Wan drew circles on the parchment according to the words, and as soon as the words fell, the parchment burned out of thin air, and a golden pattern was printed between her eyebrows, and one rose into the sky—

“The contract is completed, and the person who executes the order must not do anything to harm Xuan Cang for life, otherwise, he will be hit by five thunders.”

The round-faced cultivator was solemn, and Zheng Wan lowered her head to answer “yes”.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Zheng Wan didn’t move, she took back the black iron order: “Can I ask Zhenjun to go to the Yuzhen Building for me as a bailout and be a… runaway?”

“Running the hall?” The round-faced cultivator thought he had heard something wrong, “What did Zheng Lingshi say, he wants to be the running hall of the Yuzhen Building?”

“Yes,” Zheng Wan said with a smile, “it’s just going to the hall.”

If she went by herself, she was afraid that Yuzhen Building would not accept it.

“……Oh.”

The round-faced cultivator scratched his cheeks. He glanced behind the screen covertly, “This matter… It’s not difficult to say, Zheng Lingshi wait a moment.”

The little fat hand dialed on the long case, took out a piece of Foti paper, swiped the pen, and wrote it in a hurry, pressing the red stamp in the upper right corner and handing it over:

“Zheng Lingshi took this item to Yuzhen Building and found a shopkeeper surnamed Bai, and he knew how to do it.”

“Thank you.”

Zheng Wan glanced at the gold lacquer seal on the Futi paper, carefully took in the storage bracelet, and said goodbye.

The woman’s figure disappeared behind the door. The round-faced monk wiped his forehead and hurriedly entered the long case. He walked behind the screen. There stood a black-clothed monk by the window. He had bright eyes and jade-like skin. Immerse in the moonlight through the window, there is a kind of paleness.

“she left.”

“Yes.”

The round-faced cultivator glanced at it and did not dare to look again.

“What did you say?”

The round face was stunned for a moment, didn’t you hear everything in your heart?

In the end, he didn’t dare to raise an objection, so he had to retell what happened just now, and then he heard the cold and cold voice in front of him: “It’s actually going to run the hall.”

He was startled when he heard the round face, did he… just heard this guy laugh?

It’s just that the laughter is too shallow, scattered into the thick night, as if fake.

The round face couldn’t help but look up, but he was stunned. He has never forgotten this moment before and after.

The man stood in the thick moonlight, with a shallow smile on his lips, as if a quiet flower was quietly opened in the quiet night, cold and silent, and even that smile was mixed with a little unspeakable sadness. color.

“Secretary, you…”

“Ben-Jun goes out for a walk,” Cui Wang nodded, “I’m going to trouble you to hide the matter for me.”

He lifted his foot out of the door, turned around the secret door, walked through the corridor, and went out along the way he came.

The door opened.

Cui Wang stood for a while on the steps, the sky was like a canvas with splashes of ink, and the stars flickered, he withdrew his gaze and walked away.

When rounding the corner of the long road, Cui Wang suddenly stopped and sighed:

“Come out.”

In the shadows under the eaves, a figure gracefully walked out. The black gown wrapped her, as if the night were enchanting. Cui Wang watched the man walk in step by step and lowered his eyes.

“Meet again, Li Wei… True Monarch.”

Zheng Wan smiled charmingly, “Isn’t it closed?”

“How do you know that I’m there?”

“I didn’t know it at first.” Zheng Wan said with a smile, “But the one who works for the True Monarch can’t hide it.”

“Not a cover up.”

Cui Wang lowered his eyes, the desolate moonlight fell on his slender eyelashes, Zheng Wan thought to himself, this person’s skin is really first-class, and in fact, she didn’t lose at all.

“I thought that the true monarch was in retreat, but it turned out to be a lie.”

She smiled genuinely.

“It’s closed.”

Cui Wang suddenly raised his eyes and said, “However, there is an urgent call from the department, and I will leave the customs.”

“I came here by accident, and I accidentally bumped into you.”
