Mr. Shao An (Yu Ji, one of the Four Great Confucianists of the Yuan Dynasty) once said: "Sitting on my eaves in the middle of the river, I can no longer smell the lingering fragrance, but can only see the clear breeze and the green shadows falling on the green peaks."

Gently tap the teacup, sip the fragrant tea, and the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth. This is undoubtedly the authentic pre-rain Longjing tea.

Look at the blue and white tea cup engraved with "Made in the Yuanshou Year of the Great Jin Dynasty". If Dou Su is not mistaken, this should have come from the official kiln of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Even at the level of Dou Su, he couldn't help but feel jealous when looking at Zhang San.

However, everything has its pros and cons. Although I am jealous of Zhang Sanshao's luck after thirty years of hard work, on the other hand, this is also a good thing.

His Majesty Taizu once said that in this world, whether it is commodities or human nature, everything is clearly marked with a price, so don’t pursue eternal loyalty, and know that only interests are eternal!

For that special era, Taizu's words were a bit too harsh, but you cannot deny his truthfulness.

Everyone has a scale in their heart. The reason why they choose not to betray, apart from the persistence of human nature, is actually more because of the lack of interests.

His Majesty Taizu said so, and the Gao family also did so. As the most powerful family in the world, they offered conditions that others could not refuse. Therefore, the national strength of the Jin Dynasty has been thriving over the past 180 years.

With the support of the Gu family, Zhang San already has enough financial strength. This does not mean that the other party will not betray him, but if other forces want to impress Zhang San, they will pay far more than a hundred times the benefits.

As far as the current Jin Dynasty is concerned, apart from the imperial court, no other force can achieve this economically. Therefore, Zhang San's loyalty can still be guaranteed. In this light, Zhang San's evaluation report is easy to write.

Seeing that both of them remained silent, Gu Xuanyan poured another cup of tea for Dou Su before she spoke tentatively.

"I wonder what your Excellency is here for?"

“You don’t have to be nervous. I specially calibrated it when I went back. The tiger monster in Yuyang Village was classified as a Class B upper-level ghost threat. This time I came here mainly to supplement my merits.

Moreover, Si Rui, as a newly promoted extraordinary person, the Northern Pacification Office naturally has to prepare a gift for you. Friendly reminder, this is a special approval from the Xuanwu Commander. Last time I saw that your swordsmanship is superb, but your breathing technique is extremely superficial, so I applied for the guiding technique among the 72 Disha Techniques as a reward.

After all, you are a newcomer, so you can only use this as a transition. If you have enough merit in the future, you can naturally switch to practicing the Nine Breaths of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques. "

Dou Su took out a scroll from his Feiyu suit and threw it to Zhang San from a distance, while giving careful instructions.

"The Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques and the Seventy-Two Earthly Evil Techniques are secret techniques of the Great Jin Dynasty. There are forbidden techniques on this scroll, so it can only be practiced by one person. If you want to pass it on to others, you need to pay extra merit."

Having said that, Dou Su looked at Zhang Sirui meaningfully, but other than teasing, he did not show any other expression.

Sure enough, this was an extremely boring person. After drinking the fragrant tea in the cup, Dou Su left again on the breeze.

Before this, Zhang San thought that this method was very novel. After all, the sophistication of this technique was far beyond what Zhang San had seen in the Demon Slayer world. This was also the reason why he lost his composure at the beginning.

However, with the support of the Gu family's information, when he had some understanding of the Tiangang and Disha magic, Zhang San's hopes faded.

And no one knew what he was thinking of, but Zhang San, who had been relatively calm, pressed the scroll in his hand hard on the table, and even his calm expression seemed a little ferocious.

With Gu Xuanyan's intelligence, she could naturally guess some things. Therefore, when Zhang San lost his composure, she did not feel scared. Instead, she walked around behind him leisurely and gave him a massage.

Wild beasts only show their bellies in front of people they trust, and so do people. Zhang San's loss of composure is indeed frightening, but to some extent, this is the real him, isn't it? "Don't be angry. Jing Ye Si is the minions of Da Jin after all. Their every move represents the face of Da Jin, so they will not apologize. But since they have taken out the Earthly Evil Qi Guiding Technique, don't they admit that they are in the wrong?"

In the case of unequal information, Gu Xuanyan could only see this from Zhang San's behavior, but as a person who witnessed the incident firsthand, Zhang San could see more from the scroll.

"Do you really think that a second-class tiger demon can be exchanged for a piece of earthly magic? Then you are overestimating the Great Jin. You should know that any kind of magic there is no less than the inheritance of the Secret Painting School!"

"You mean, this is compensation for the underworld incident? Are they using surveillance spells to monitor us? No, even the Water Mirror Technique can't do this kind of real-time monitoring..."

Gu Xuanyan was not a stupid person. She reacted immediately after Zhang San's slight reminder. However, considering the limitation of the Water Mirror Technique that it could not be moved, after making this inference, she quickly denied it. At this moment, a horrifying conclusion popped into her mind.

That’s right, the Water Mirror Technique really cannot be moved, which means that they all entered the inspection range of the Water Mirror Technique completely voluntarily.

So the question is, did the Jin Dynasty have nothing to do? Why did they set up the Water Mirror Technique in Qingshi Town?

You have to know that setting up the water mirror technique with the function of directional sound transmission would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. Usually, only a prefecture has such means of communication. Isn't it a bit of an overreaction to put such a facility in a small Qingshi Town?

Unless, there is something about this Qingshi Town that is attracting the attention of the Great Jin Dynasty. As for what it is specifically, Gu Xuanyan, who has moved to the underworld, naturally knows it very well.

But what made her curious was why Da Jin knew this? After thinking about it, the answer seemed a bit self-evident.

“Be gentle!”

Even someone as calm as Gu Xuanyan would inevitably be frightened when she thought of this. Naturally, her control over her own strength would decrease, and the force originally used for massage would now seem abrupt.

"You mean to say..."

"Little girl, you are so silly. I told you that you were trying too hard. Can't you hear that?"

Seeing Zhang San's teasing expression, Gu Xuanyan was furious. He was talking to you about serious matters, but you were being so irresponsible. That was too much! However, she understood what Zhang San meant. Being smart and being smart are two completely opposite things. Since Dajin could set up the Water Mirror Technique in Qingshi Town, couldn't they set up one here?

As for the reason, just based on her husband's natural disaster-level combat power, how about it, is it qualified? After seeing Gu Xuanyan turned away angrily, Zhang San's face, which had been slightly calm under the massage, became ferocious again.

Just like he said before, the scroll given by Dou Su is not that simple. Guessing the role played by Da Jin in the destruction of the underworld is just the beginning.
