Chapter 236 New official takes office (please subscribe)

On this day, what happened in the morning began to spread from top to bottom in the upper circles of Kyoto.

People who originally expected to see a good show were disappointed. There were also some people with keen minds who realized that there might be a secret behind Qi Ping's frame-up. However, when Chu Zhixing was thrown into prison, everything came to an end.

…

the next day.

Early morning, Nancheng courtyard.

"Sure enough, something is wrong!"

Qi Ping was sitting in his own room, staring at a stick of incense with a serious face.

At this moment, the morning light is faint, and the top of the yellow incense drawn with many "lattices" with a brush is red and hot, scalding away the dark night.

"I just said that I felt something was wrong at that time. The time was indeed advanced." Qi Ping exhaled, his eyes bright and frightening.

He found that his ability to "reverse" had evolved.

The matter goes back to the day of the "Autumn Banquet", when Qi Ping fought against the flower-armed monk in a dilapidated courtyard in the east city. During the process, he went back in time.

But the difference from the past is that that time, it was not back to "a quarter of an hour" ago, but much shorter.

This made him quite nervous, but he was not in the mood to study it at the time.

After returning to the prison, he tried it once. This morning, he did another test. Qi Ping finally determined what happened.

"In the past, once I started rewinding, the time would go back a quarter of an hour, no more than a minute, no more than a second.

But now, I can go back to any time in the past quarter of an hour!"

Yes, the upper limit is still a quarter of an hour, but you can freely choose the specific moment in between.

The method of use is also very simple, just when you say "return", recall in your mind the scene at the moment you want to recall.

For example, during the battle with the monster monk, Qi Ping strongly thought about going back to the moment when he launched the attack with the help of the water tank, but he actually went back.

This discovery made him a little excited.

"Well, although it seems to be of little use, it is actually much better, especially when it comes to life and death battles.

Forced to rewind for a quarter of an hour, many times I have to perfectly reproduce the last action, and once there is a mistake, the result will be different...

And if I can go back directly to the time I want, my room for error will be much larger."

And more importantly, this change proves that his plug-in can evolve.

"What are the influencing factors? Well, is it a promotion in cultivation? No, when I killed the great wizard in the snowy mountains, I was already in the marrow cleansing state, and there was no change... It must be a recent change in me."

Qi Ping thought.

Soon he had two goals. The first was to absorb the treasures of heaven and earth and temper his body.

The second is to receive soul training in the Taoist Temple.

The first point is not very relevant, and he prefers the second possibility.

"My hourglass can withstand divine attacks, and it consumes 'energy', causing the return failure. Therefore, the hourglass may be related to the divine soul.

I ate a lot of spiritual fish in the snowy mountains, but that didn't seem to have changed when I played against the Witch King in the first place.

Well, maybe it’s because I haven’t digested the power of the spirit fish medicine yet, but a few days ago, in the Taoist temple, Elder Dianzang gave a sermon, which made my soul reach a new level.”

Qi Ping felt that he had grasped the key.

Shortness of breath:

"That is to say, as long as my soul becomes stronger, maybe my plug-in can be upgraded?"

Not necessarily, but at least there is a direction.

At this moment, Qi Ping was full of desire to advance to magical powers.

"Huh, don't be in a hurry, you have to be calm in practice." Qi Ping suppressed his excitement, got dressed and opened the door.

There was a little fog this morning, and there was a cool breeze in the autumn morning.

"Are you up?"

Suddenly, Qing'er's clean and fair face appeared on the wall next to her, with her black hair braided into a circle at the back of her head.

At this time, I held a small piece of tofu in my hand and ate it in small bites.

Qi Ping said speechlessly:

"You are the Grand Tutor's granddaughter after all, and you can be considered a lady among us. Why do you climb walls all the time? You are not ladylike at all."

Yun Qing'er made a "cut" sound, her big black and white eyes filled with indifference, and said:

"It's so convenient."

Qi Ping muttered:

"How about I take the time to put a door on the wall for you so that you can come in and out more easily."

"Okay, okay," Yun Qing'er nodded, seeming to be quite interested in this plan, and handed over the remaining small amount of quick tofu:

"Please eat tofu."

Qi Ping refused. If the rabbit doesn't eat the grass beside the nest, it won't eat your tofu.

…

After being slapped in the face so much yesterday, Qi Ping was worried about the subsequent troubles, so he didn't plan to stay at home and went to work early.

Putting on the brocade clothes of a hundred households, wearing a magic weapon and a long sword at his waist, he mounted his horse and hurried towards the inner city.

On the way, he found a roadside stall to eat, and heard diners at the stall holding newly released newspapers and reading the front-page news loudly.

"Is Chu Zhixing a false accusation? Has he been thrown into a prison? Oh, that Qi Shikui was unjustly accused!"

"What did I say? I just said there must be a reversal."

"Hey, that's not what you said two days ago."

The people chatted animatedly.

They didn't know that the person they were talking about was eating buns nearby.

Most of the camera technology in this era relied on extraordinary means, and Qi Ping had never been on a wanted list, so most people only heard of his name but didn't recognize him.

…

"Master Qi is here, please slow down and leave the horses to me."

Arriving at Zhenfusi, the guards standing guard were particularly enthusiastic.

It's a bit uncomfortable to make it flush.

Walking into the courtyard, the people in Jinyi who met along the way also nodded and saluted and called "Sir".

This kind of treatment has never been seen before. Obviously, the effect of Qi Ping's establishment of authority yesterday was immediate.

The world is like this. Being gentle is not enough. Showing aggression appropriately can gain respect.

"It seems like no one will come to make trouble."

Qi Ping thought with some disappointment as he stepped through the door and entered the entrance of his flat hall.

I was surprised to find that in the duty room, a group of captains were well behaved, sitting in their seats and working hard.

What happened... Qi Ping was at a loss, thinking that this was not a colleague I was familiar with.

"cough!"

Suddenly, a cough sounded from the side. Qi Ping turned his head and saw an unsmiling black face.

Qi Ping was surprised: "Boss, when did you come back?"

Yu Qing put his hands behind his back, arrogantly, as if to declare his sovereignty, but his eyes showed warmth:

"I just returned to Beijing yesterday."

As he spoke, he stared at this subordinate carefully for a while and sighed: "I didn't expect that you have already caught up with me."

"Luck, luck." Qi Ping sneered.

"Come in and talk." Yu Qing turned around and entered the room that originally belonged to him but was now occupied by a dove.

Qi Ping Dian Dian followed in.

Close the door.

The group of captains pretending to be serious instantly relaxed, raised their eyebrows at each other, and looked at the closed door curiously.

…

inside the house.

The two of them sat down without saying anything, and Yu Qing felt infinite emotion in his heart.

Yesterday, when he came back, he was first surprised to find that his territory was gone, and then he learned that Qi Ping had returned before them.
To be continued...
