Chapter 884 Two Great Counselors

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Ever since Shuangye City was invaded by the ghosts, the cultivators in the city had fled with their deaths. Ten rooms and ten empty spaces. It was bleak and cold. However, after Chu Jun recovered Shuangye City, he reversed the Anti-Spirit Meridian. In addition to Yang Yun's tens of thousands of Chu troops stationed in the Northern Banner, Shuangye City had finally regained some popularity.

After more than two months, the Physique Cultivators and Immortal Cultivators who had fled to hiding in various places in the mountain range began to return one after another. In addition, many cultivators had traveled thousands of miles to join the Chu Army, and Shuangye City gradually became lively. It was worth mentioning that under the stimulation of the two gigantic heads of the Spiritual Incense Pavilion and the Immortal Cultivator Guild, the long-lost businesses in Shuangye City began to slowly recover, and the shops on the street began to open one after another.

Seventy to eighty thousand Chu troops were stationed here to train. The resources needed were undoubtedly enormous. Smart sects saw the enormous business opportunities contained within them and began to set up businesses in the city. In addition, Li Xiangjun issued a series of incentives, allowing Shuangye City to quickly recover its prosperity.

The setting sun was already hanging on the top of the mountain, The orange-red sunset glow dyed the western sky red. The warm and faint sunlight shone on the city wall that was a hundred meters tall, casting a shadow on the ground. The xiuzhe who went out to hunt for life hurriedly entered the city gate and cleaned up today's harvest before it went dark, because some beast blood and meat could only be sold for a good price if they were fresh.

There was hope in life, and the days seemed to return to the calm of the past. It was as if war had never happened … If not for those who were still practicing Chu Jun in full swing under the setting sun.

There are two Spiritual Incense Pavilions in Shuangye City, One is located in East City, One in the west, belonging to the largest shop in the city, The most rare thing was that it collected everything at a reasonable price. Every time they arrived late, the cultivators would go to the Spiritual Fragrance Pavilion to pack up and sell their harvests to the Spiritual Fragrance Pavilion. Then, they would choose the daily necessities they needed from the Spiritual Fragrance Pavilion, such as spirit medicines, talismans, magic treasures, clothes … and even female cultivators' lunar belts.

It was late at night, and the people of the Spiritual Fragrance Pavilion in East City were coming and going. Even the entire street was bustling with activity. Smart fellows set up stalls on both sides of the street to solicit business.

Dao Zheng Ming, who was dressed as a scholar, leisurely swayed on East Street, followed by two sweet-looking female cultivators, looking like a scholar.

As usual, Dao Zheng Ming stopped in front of the Spiritual Recreation Pavilion and raised his head to glance at the elegant and classical plaque. Then, he led the two maids into the door and turned left, following the stairs to the second floor. The waiter who was greeting the guests upstairs was obviously very familiar with this frequent guest. He greeted the guest with a smile and led the taoist to a quiet seat on the street.

Dao Zheng Ming smiled and sat down on the seat. His line of sight was wide, and he could see the pedestrians walking along the street. Of course, the pedestrians on the street could also see his elegant back, as well as the beautiful figure of the maids standing on both sides. Most of the pedestrians passing by in a hurry were busy with making a living, However, there was no time to pay attention to the elegant fellow upstairs. Occasionally, someone would raise their head to look at him. Their eyes were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. However, in the corner of the street, there was a pair of eyes that were intentionally or unintentionally looking at the Confucian-clothed silk scarf upstairs. That position just happened to be a blind spot that could not be seen from the line of sight upstairs.

The waiter quickly placed the tea set and other items on the table, plus a box of high-grade Jin Junmei. He smiled and said, "Miss Ran Ai will arrive soon!"

Dao Zheng Ming waved his hand and the waiter respectfully retreated.

The Spiritual Recreation Building was actually a place for cultivators to drink tea and communicate. Dao Zheng Ming was obviously a frequent guest here. It was strange that he always came alone. He would never be a guest. Every time, he would only appoint the same doctor to make tea and drink only Jin Junmei. Ran Ai's appearance was not outstanding amongst the many beauties of the Spiritual Recreation Building.

At this moment, a female cultivator in her twenties walked down the stairs. Her appearance could only be said to be delicate and beautiful, but it gave off a very peaceful feeling. She was also dressed as a male scholar and looked very charming.

Dao Zheng Ming smiled and stood up to greet him. The female cultivator also smiled and bowed, "Ran Ai pays respects to Senior Dao!"

Dao Zheng Ming chuckled, "I've agreed that I'll make tea today so that Miss Ran Ai can give me some pointers!"

Ran Ai pursed her lips and smiled, "I don't dare to give you pointers. It's just a sparring session!"

"Haha, please!" Dao Zheng Ming gracefully smiled. The latter was not polite. He bowed and sat on the main seat. Dao Zheng Ming started burning charcoal to boil water.

Inside the Heavenly Residence, Li Xiangjun hugged the pipa. Her head was straight, her round buttocks and slender waist became more and more attractive. Her right fingers clattered with 36 strings. Although it was intermittent, there was a faint sense of killing from the Golden Gothic Iron Horse.

Her originally charming eyebrows were raised, her eyes were filled with killing intent, her left fingers were like lotus flowers, her right hand was like a sword, and killing intent rushed towards her.

Pu Zheng … A broken sound tore apart. Li Xiangjun stopped and frowned as he picked up a pen to write on the paper.

At this moment, a Dark Fragrance walked in and respectfully said, "Greetings, Incense Master!"

Li Xiangjun put down the pen and the pipa in her arms. Next to her, a smart maid brought a bronze basin filled with water. Li Xiangjun washed her hands and wiped them dry with silk. Then she asked, "Speak!"

"Dao Zheng Ming is as usual today. There is nothing unusual about it. He is currently making tea in the Spirit Rest Pavilion. The one ordering is still the tea girl called Ran Ai. The one drinking is Jin Junmei!" The Dark Fragrance spy reported.

During this period of time, An Xiang's spies would report the whereabouts of Zheng Ming at a later date, and today was no exception.

Li Xiangjun nodded. Just as she was about to wave the incense stick to leave, she suddenly felt that it was a bit appropriate. She pondered for a moment and said, "Yesterday, when you reported back, he had already finished his tea and left. Today, he seems to be too late!"

The female cultivator was stunned for a moment and said, "It's two-fifths of an hour late. Is there a problem with that? Our people are still staring at him!"

Li Xiangjun frowned. These two months, Dao Zheng Ming's life was very regular. A month ago, he would come to the Spirit Rest Pavilion to drink tea every night. He almost stepped into the Spirit Rest Pavilion, and would leave in about half an hour. He would never stay.

"Send someone to the Spiritual Recreation Pavilion to make sure that he is still upstairs!" Li Xiangjun instructed.

The female cultivator immediately left. Little Snow suspiciously said, "Sister Xiangjun, since you don't trust him, just don't. Why are you staring at him for so many months?"

Li Xiangjun chuckled and said, "This Dao Seal is clearly a talented person. If it can be used by your master, it will be of great help. However, I'm worried that he was deliberately sent by Du Wu, so I have to be more cautious!"

Very quickly, the female cultivator returned. His face turned a little pale. Pu Tong knelt on the ground, "This subordinate deserves to die, "This Dao Zheng Ming is too cunning. We were all tricked by him. The one sitting there is the tea girl called Ran Ai. She wore the same Confucian shirt as Dao Zheng Ming today. Our spies were wrong. In addition, his two maids have been standing there all this time, making it seem like he has been sitting there all this time. In fact, he has already left!"

Little Snow raised her eyebrows and angrily said, "This fellow is really a spy. I'll immediately catch him and beat him up. Hmph, even he can't run far!"

The female cultivator lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Li Xiangjun. After making such a low-level mistake, she could only wait for the incense master to explode with rage!

Li Xiangjun pondered for a moment with a cold face and said indifferently, "Send someone to ask the guards at the four gates if they saw Dao Zheng Ming leave."

The female cultivator hurriedly stood up and retreated. Little Snow asked puzzledly, "Sister Xiangjun, if that Dao Seal really wanted to secretly leave, how could those city guards discover it?"

Li Xiangjun said indifferently, "There are always exceptions to everything!"

These words were quickly verified. A moment later, the little leader of the Dark Fragrance returned to report, and said with a happy expression, "Incense Master, someone saw Dao Zheng Ming leave through the East City Gate. This subordinate immediately contacted Dark Feather to capture him!"

Li Xiangjun smiled meaningfully and waved her hand, "No need, let Stage Head Wei send someone to secretly follow. If nothing unexpected happens, don't make a move!"

This little leader of Dark Fragrance was a little confused, but the Fragrance Master's mind was unpredictable, so she didn't dare to speculate and quickly retreated to contact Dark Feather's Elder Wei An.

Dao Zheng walked out of Shuangye City from the east gate. A cultivator standing in a corner of the city gates gave Dao Zheng Ming a faint glance before releasing his flying mount and heading east.

Dao Zheng Ming hesitated for a moment before finally following Yu Kong.

The cultivator in front of him landed on the flat ground of a river bend and stood on a mountain rock in the river bend. He turned his back to the setting sun and faced the rolling river water in the east.

Dao Zheng Ming lightly landed behind that person. His divine sense swept across a radius of several hundred meters and frowned slightly. "Only you?"

The person standing on the rock slowly turned around and removed the bamboo hat covering his head. His slightly hunchbacked figure also straightened up and said softly, "There's no need to doubt, only this old man!"

Dao Zheng Ming's eyes flashed with shock when he saw the person in front of him. However, he quickly regained his calm. He bitterly smiled and said, "Liu Yong, it's actually you who came personally. It's far beyond my expectations. It's still so unpredictable!"

This person was actually Liu Yong, the Great Policy Qing of the Heavenly Policy Palace, the number one think tank under Du Wu!

"The plan to defeat Gui Dongya was given by you, right?" Liu Yong asked.

Dao Zheng Ming's eyes flashed and he nodded, "Not bad!"

"Congratulations on meeting Master Ming!" Liu Yong said calmly.

Dao Zheng Ming was slightly stunned. He had thought that Liu Yong had come to find him during the intense battle on the frontlines and was only trying to persuade him to go back. He didn't expect that he would only say this.

"If Liu Qing is interested, I can introduce you to King Chu!" Dao Zheng Ming stimulated.

"There's no need for that. I'm only here to confirm. Goodbye!" Liu Yong cupped his hands and turned around to leave.
