Chapter 111 Once a genius(1/2)
The content recorded in the jade slip is actually not very detailed.
This kind of thing is worse than rebellion, and it is almost a person who is self-destructive. No matter how stupid the people in the Qingyi Sect are, they will not really leave any tangible evidence in the jade slip.
The reason why Gu Ling was able to come to this conclusion is because she was already a member of the high-ranking crowd. She was familiar with the way these people do things and the way these people think.
Coupled with the relevant information she saw and heard one after another, the Gu family cultivated their information analysis and processing ability since childhood, and finally mixed a little bold assumptions to come to that conclusion.
"Are you going to report it?"
On the way back, Nan Ke couldn't help asking.
At first, he was cautious about this kind of inquiries and avoided asking too much, which made people feel annoying.
But after discovering how Qing'er and Gu Ling get along, he understood that Gu Ling is really good to treat "his own people". She is not annoyed when Qing'er asks, and she will respond patiently.
Therefore, he simply asked if he wanted to ask, so as not to cause any disease to cause himself.
After all, in a sense, you also belong to the 'our own people', right?
"There must be reports, but we have to go through our own channels."
Generally, the internal reporting process of the demon-reporting department is to report step by step. On the one hand, it is to improve processing efficiency, and on the other hand, it is to strengthen the control of superiors over subordinates.
But Gu Ling is not an ordinary demon-killing order. If she wants to report it, she naturally has her own channels.
"That's right." Nan Ke echoed: "If there is really a problem with Qingyi Sect, this demon guard will have nothing to do with it."
It’s not that the evil guard and the Qing family are in the same circle. After all, for such a thing, unless he wants to join in, there is no reason to intervene.
Nan Ke felt that if this kind of news was revealed in advance, the demon guard did not handle it well and neglect a little intentionally or unintentionally, it might have the effect of alerting the enemy.
On the surface, the imperial court used it to check and balance the local immortal gates, and the interests of the two are indeed in many ways.
But this does not mean that the relationship between the local demon guards and the local immortal gate is really incompatible.
If this is true, the demon-killing order that was investigated would not be able to collude with Qing.
First of all, he didn't have the courage;
Secondly, he doesn't have that weight either.
"I'm going to report this to the royal city."
For such things, no matter which emperor of Chu was, he would rather believe in it or not.
It would not be possible to directly send people to destroy the family, but some measures would definitely be taken.
"Sir, wise." Nan Ke bowed.
Gu Ling glanced at him and suddenly stopped.
"Stop and rest?" Nan Ke also stopped and asked after gasping for two breaths.
They had been walking back for several hours, because there was still something to do, and this trip was even more rushed than when they were going.
In just a few hours, they had almost finished most of the journey, and even Nan Ke couldn't stand it.
Seeing Gu Ling not stopping before, he was embarrassed to speak.
Now I hurriedly stopped and took a few breaths to smooth out the qi and blood in my body.
Gu Ling turned his head and looked back. After moving away from the "harsh land", the surrounding trees became lush again, but through the gap, you could still see an open space in the distance, with some broken walls on it.
Nan Ke followed Gu Ling's gaze and felt that the ruins looked familiar. He was stunned for a moment before he remembered that they had arrived at the boundary of Qinghe Village without realizing it.
That ruin is his starting point.
"Nan Ke." Gu Ling shouted.
Nan Ke withdrew his gaze and found that Gu Ling's face was a little serious, and he felt a little confused.
What did you do?
Or did she investigate what she was doing in Qinghe Village?
"Which side are you standing?" Gu Ling suddenly asked.
Nan Ke frowned slightly and said with a little puzzled look: "Which side is standing?"
"The court or the immortal sect?" Gu Ling despised it directly.
She could actually tell Nan Ke's intentions from Nan Ke's words and deeds, but such things must be counted by listening to people's words.
Now the relationship between the imperial court and the immortal sect is becoming increasingly serious, and she has also told Nan Ke a lot in the past few days.
She believed that even if Nan Ke was really from an ordinary family, she had no idea about such things before, and now she should have a rough idea in her heart.
"The court!"
Nan Ke is not ink.
The Immortal Sect in this world sounds high-end, but in essence, it is essentially the same as the Jianghu sects in martial arts novels in previous lives.
Any modern person with no problem with his brain will also choose an official organization when facing this choice.
After all, he himself is not the kind of person who is afraid of the world's chaos. He enjoys and is free and easy in a stable country. Isn't it better to hide in a war or turbulent situation than to hide in a tide?
Relying on a group of "gang-related" gangs to manage the Chu State well, Nan Ke didn't know what other indigenous people thought, but in the history he knew, such things were almost bullshit.
Besides.
As the legitimate daughter of the Gu family, Gu Ling represents the Chu family behind him;
The Chu royal family, essentially speaking, actually belongs to the category of aristocratic families.
On other issues, the royal family and the aristocratic families may also have differences, but when it comes to dealing with the Immortal Sect, they must have the same purpose.
Nan Ke could see this kind of factional distinction between "close and alienation" clearly, and naturally knew how he should take the team.
When Gu Ling heard this, her face relaxed, raised her hand and patted Nan Ke on her shoulder, looking like a big sister, "You are still sensible."
She seemed to like to pretend to be careless, and she didn't know whether it was to hide her inner thoughts or simply to like this.
Qing'er next to him also patted her small breasts and pretended to scare her: "If you choose the wrong choice, you might have to throw the corpse into the wilderness."
Nan Ke's mouth twitched. Qing'er's words seemed to be joking, but he instinctively felt that Gu Ling might really do this.
Most of the time, these aristocratic families put family interests first.
Not to mention that I had just met you for a while, even if I had known each other for a long time, I would have to say that I would have a "destroy my relatives for the sake of the family" for the sake of the family's interests.
Nan Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Most of the people are actually standing on the side of the court."
The gods are too far away from the people. Although many Taoist temples are also popular, this incense is still not as good as the family and the family can eat and wear warmly.
"When their prestige is destroyed, the people will be better."
The "they" here refers to the Immortal Sect. After all, the gods and immortals in the Immortal Sect do not produce, so the food, clothing and consumption are all people's fat and paste.
The tax collected by the court may also be used to repair infrastructure and provide disaster relief to the poor, but the resources collected by these immortal gates will not be leaked out at all.
“That’s right.”
Nan Ke echoed.
He has no lofty ideals, and even seems a little selfish in many cases;
But without involving one's own interests, Nan Ke still hopes that the Chu State can be prosperous and strong.
This is the basic quality of a good citizen.
Gu Ling didn't want to talk about this anymore. She looked at the ruins in the fate and suddenly said, "Have you heard a rumor in the city before?"
"What news?"
There are too many rumors in the city. The storytellers from various teahouses and restaurants make up for you every day.
"It is said that some fire phoenix soars into the sky appeared in the 100,000 mountains." Gu Ling said.
"Hear."
"Do you believe it?"
"Don't believe it." Nan Ke shook his head.
This dragon and phoenix are still the legendary beasts that exist in this world.
Although the mountain is big, Nanke doesn’t think there will be any phoenixes. At most, a more powerful bird monster can be produced.
"You are smart." Gu Ling stretched out his finger and pointed to the ruins of Qinghe Village. "The fire phoenix is fake, but the celestial phenomena are real. The general location should be directly above this area. One night, a star passed by, which was said to have illuminated half of the sky."
"when?"
"About a month ago, the specific time is unclear." Gu Ling walked forward two steps, "Can the ruins in front be seen?"
"See it." Nan Ke followed.
He lived in it when it was not just a ruin.
"Someone has investigated that the ruins should have been formed when a strange phenomenon appeared in heaven. It is said that it was a village before and it was quite large in scale."
"Visions..."
Nan Ke murmured, his mind was drowsy that night, and he couldn't remember what was going on.
To be continued...
