Chapter 43: Can't Believe a Word
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Looking at Li Xiuran, who has always been very smart, being speechless by his sister's question, Lin Fengkai suddenly burst into laughter: "Brother Li, it seems that you have met an opponent. My little sister has been smart since she was a child and has always been rude."
I realized it, but unfortunately, I felt it as a victim... Li Xiuran felt depressed.
Lin Yanjiang also smiled.
Chen Jin pretended to be angry and said, "Qianxue, don't be rude."
Lin Qianxue bowed and bowed to Li Xiuran: "My little sister is just talking about the matter and has no intention of making things difficult for her brother. Please don't mind."
"Haha, no." Li Xiuran laughed dryly.
Lin Yanjiang glanced at him and changed the subject: "The army searched for a night, but still did not find the whereabouts of the assassin. It is probably difficult to arrest him and the case will probably be delayed for a long time.
It’s not a solution for you to continue working and waiting. Why not go to other yamen to practice first. When the storm is over, I will find a way to transfer you to the Ministry of Justice?”
"It depends on the decision of the Lord." Li Xiuran bowed.
"Have you found no clues about the assassin?" Lin Fengkai interrupted.
Lin Yanjiang said: "Not that. I heard that an assassin's accomplice went to the pharmacy to buy medicine for him this morning. He was discovered by the officers and soldiers who were squatting. He originally wanted to secretly follow him and find out the whereabouts of the assassin, but the person sent had not returned for a long time. By the time he was found, the person had been killed and the clue was cut off."
Lin Fengkai smacked his lips: "There are even accomplices. No wonder he can't find the assassin. I don't know who is so bold that he dares to plot with the assassin to assassin to assassin. If he is discovered, even if he has ten heads, he will not be enough to cut him."
I was just coerced and tempted by the assassin, but I was not his accomplice... Li Xiuran felt relieved and silently defended himself.
Lin Yanjiang looked at Li Xiuran and then said, "Do you have any yamen you want to go to? The conspiracy of the three sects in Qingyun, Tianmo Sect, Huanming Sect, and Rakshasa Sect were defeated by you, and in the end they were even designed to be beaten up by you. You are quite destined to be with the demons, and you are simply their nemesis. Why not just go to the Demon Suppression Department?
It just so happened that Xiang Kun was very happy because of his achievements in eliminating demons. He was preparing to transfer him to Beijing to serve. With his care, you can be much more convenient for you in the Demon Suppression Department."
"Is the Demon Suppression?" Li Xiuran's eyes lit up.
Although the Demon Suppression Division is independent of civil and military affairs, it is also an official, and the captain is not even considered an official. He is just a yamen "servant". If he can enter the Demon Suppression Division, he will be considered a high-profile promotion.
Moreover, the Demon Transformation Ceremony he practiced, in addition to normal practice, can also absorb the yin evil energy, or directly devour other people's blood essence to increase the speed of cultivation.
It was indeed a good place to transfer to the Demon Suppression Division, which gave him the opportunity to get in touch with these, thereby speeding up his cultivation.
Li Xiuran said happily: "I have troubled you, and I am willing to go there."
Lin Yanjiang smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll make arrangements for you. You can prepare it too. The appointment will not take long to come."
"Congratulations to Brother Li, you have been transferred to the Demon Suppression Department, you have been promoted." Lin Fengkai congratulated.
"I have to thank you Lord Lin." Li Xiuran bowed modestly.
Lin Fengkai looked at Lin Yanjiang and said curiously: "Mr. Xiang was transferred from the local area to the capital, which is also a promotion. Dad, you went out of Beijing for half a year to inspect, and you will also severely defeat the demons. You have both contributions and hard work. Didn't Your Majesty reward you with anything?"
Lin Yanjiang smiled and said, "I have added the title of Prince's Young Master, so I have added some salary."
The governor was a temporary dispatch, and he received the order temporarily. After the work was completed, Lin Yanjiang has now returned to the capital and finished his job and has also restored his original position - the Left Censor of the Inspectorate, and a second-rank senior official.
When the official position reaches this level, there is no room for promotion. Usually, you will add a false title and perfunctory one. This is the case with the young master of the prince. It is not really going to be a teacher for the prince, but it is just a false position, but it is also a manifestation of the emperor's favor.
Li Xiuran immediately congratulated: "Congratulations sir."
Lin Yanjiang laughed, obviously very satisfied with it.
...
After lunch at the Lin family, Li Xiuran returned to the inn. The room was empty and there was a note on the table.
Thank you for your help, the injury has been healed so I won’t bother you anymore. In addition, the Soul-Breaking Pill is just a random talk, so there is no need to worry.
He was making a fool of himself... Looking at the notes, Li Xiuran's face turned dark in an instant.
He was worried for so long that he even helped him deal with the pursuers who were searching, but in the end he actually lied to him again?
This person really can't believe a word in his mouth!
Li Xiuran burned the note vengefully. The court knew that the assassin was injured. If the note was seen, it would be a hidden danger, so it would be better to deal with it cleanly.
After burning the notes, Li Xiuran sat cross-legged on the bed, and finally had time to understand the cracked Slash.
...
In the suburbs of the north of the city, there is a dense forest.
If you want to practice knife, it is inevitable that you can practice. The room is too small and cannot be used, so Li Xiuran specially chose this place.
The place is remote and the space is large, which is just right for him to practice.
Li Xiuran stood with a knife, closed his eyes and concentrated his mind, blocking all the energy in his body, and devoted himself to the sword technique, mobilizing all the spiritual energy in his body, gathering all the sword on the blade, and then suddenly opened his eyes, slashed forward with a knife, and shouted loudly in his heart:
"Splitting the Sky Slash!"
A dazzling light flashed on the blade instantly, as if a ray of sunlight passed by in the sky, causing a roar, and slashed forward rapidly and domineeringly. A row of giant trees in front broke in response to the sound.
The Sky Slash is very simple, with only one move. The core essence is to complete the whole body's strength in one blow, but it is much more difficult to practice. First, you must gather the whole body's strength at one point, and then burst out all this with one knife. The effect of a little mistake in the middle will be greatly reduced.
Li Xiuran has been practicing for several days, and it is not until now that he has been a first glance at the path. According to what the sword technique says, the effect of practicing until one can achieve great success is very different.
But just a preliminary grasp, a row of giant trees can be cut off in half with one knife, and its power is amazing enough!
Looking at the giant tree cut off by a knife in front of him, Li Xiuran smiled with satisfaction. The power of the Sky Slash is indeed extraordinary. If it is added with the improvement brought by the Blood Demon Sacrifice, he is confident that if he encounters the figure who followed him a few days ago, even if the other party does not underestimate the enemy, he can kill him with one knife!
But the consumption is really a bit too much... Li Xiuran felt the remaining spiritual energy in his body, which was only more than half of it. In other words, he consumed nearly half of his spiritual energy just now. Doesn’t this mean that if he had a duel with someone, he could only cut two swords at most?
