Chapter 358 The New Deacon
Tangning was slightly startled, and hurriedly took the file. After looking at it, she realized that it was Lu Xingxian who had voluntarily resigned from the position of deacon of the intelligence department, and the sect had approved it.

Presumably, Lu Xingxian's deadline is approaching, and he can no longer hold on.

It was not someone's will that the sect sent a letter to him. It was a necessary procedure of the department. He is the steward of the intelligence department. The deacon resigned. He is eligible to apply for the deacon position. Of course, he must be informed.

Tangning pondered for a while, "I'll go back to the sect and leave the matter here to you."

"Yes." Kong Ji replied, he was very curious about the arrangement of the senior management of the department and who would get the position of deacon, but after so long in the intelligence station, he knew very well that he should not ask.

Tang Ning left the intelligence station, flew all the way, and returned to the sect in less than two days. When she came to a cave, she waved her hand, and the talisman was handed in through the thick fog.

Not long after, the dense fog billowed, and a ray of light shot out from inside, showing Zhu Xu's figure, he smiled and said: "Junior Brother Tang is back, please hurry up."

Zhu Xu has always been taciturn, unsmiling, not showing his emotions or anger.Today, he was smiling. It seems that after Lu Xingxian abdicated, he was in a very happy mood, and he was naturally expressive. He should be in the same position as the deacon of the intelligence department.

The two entered his cave, one behind the other, and sat opposite each other.

Tang Ning said, "Senior Brother Zhu, I rushed here as soon as I received the news of the sect Xuanying's message. Congratulations! Years of long-cherished wishes have been fulfilled, and the position of deacon of the intelligence department has finally fallen into your hands."

Zhu Xu waved his hand: "It's too early to say this, there are many people coveting this position! Junior Brother Lu has rushed back from Qiyuan Island two days ago. I don't think he will let go easily."

"Oh?" Tangning frowned slightly, "Has he broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment?"

"Not really, but he's been very active these days and has visited a lot of people."

Tang Ning said, "Since we haven't broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, then there's nothing to worry about. Even if there are people who support me, I think the masters and uncles above are all clear-sighted, so they won't be able to choose him as a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. deacon."

Zhu Xu smiled slightly: "Uncle Luo summoned me two days ago."

The meaning of this is obvious, he has already got the support of Luo Qingshui.

Tang Ning said, "With Uncle Luo mediating in the middle, it can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai."

Zhu Xu was noncommittal: "After a few days of sect discussion, we will know the result."

Tangning said, "By the way, why did Senior Brother Lu suddenly resign from the position of deacon? Could it be that his lifespan is over?"

"It will take only a few months at most! The spiritual power in his body can no longer be suppressed."

Tangning sighed slightly and remained silent.

Although he and Lu Xingxian were not at odds, they had been together for decades, and the two had no deep hatred, at most it was friction caused by some differences of opinion.

Now that his lifespan is nearing the end of his life, the past will naturally blow away with the wind. Tangning can't help but feel a bit sad.

The two people in the cave fell into silence for a while.

After a while, Zhu Xu said: "Now we are the only ones in the intelligence department who can talk. In the future, I ask Junior Brother Tang to support me a lot."

"Brother Zhu is too polite, just ask for anything."

The two chatted for a while before Tangning left.

.....................

In Lu Xingxian's cave mansion, Lu Guang sat opposite him, looking at the old man with a wrinkled face in front of him, feeling mixed feelings.

"How is it?" Lu Xingxian coughed slightly, his voice was old.

Lu Guang shook his head: "Brother Ma Boyan took me to visit Uncle Cheng and Uncle Jiang, but they didn't express their views."

Ma Boyan was the first disciple of Shi Mingsui, the lord of the Qingxuan Palace, and he took Lu Guang to visit the high-level officials in various halls and courtyards, and the person behind him was naturally Shi Mingsui.

Cheng Shuimin of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was in favor of Shiming Sui among the senior officials of Qianyizong, while Jiang Ming was relatively neutral. The two of them did not make a clear statement, which has fully explained their attitude, that is, they do not support Lu Guang's selection of the post of deacon of the intelligence department.

Tong Quan'an of the Precept Academy and Luo Qingshui, the head of the Xuande Hall, have a close relationship, and Peng Wanli, the head of the Yuanyi Hall, has always maintained a middle ground between the two.

Ma Boyan led him to visit Cheng Shuimin, Jiang Ming, and Peng Wanli this time in order to gain their support. Although Cheng Shuimin and Jiang Ming did not express their views, they also interviewed him, while Peng Wanli directly refused to meet him, and his attitude was obvious.

These are all tacit matters. Although it is not yet the time for the sect to discuss matters, the results are already foreseeable.

The selection of the deacons of the Zongmen's department needs to be decided by the high-level Zongmen, that is, the votes of the three hall masters, the three courtyard masters and the head of the sect.

In the event of an abstention or tie, the head has the final decision.

Lu Xingxuan was expressionless, and said lightly: "It's expected, but you don't have to be too depressed, you still have a lot of time, and things in the world, good and bad are hard to predict."

Lu Guang said ashamedly: "I have failed Senior Brother Lu's high expectations."

"For a dying person, fame and fortune are just a fleeting moment. I have done everything I can, and I have done my best to repay Shi Shishu's kindness back then." Lu Xingxian smiled lightly, not paying attention, and flipped his right hand , took out a dossier: "By the way, this is for you, it may be useful someday."

Lu Guang took it and opened it, his face changed slightly: "This is?"

Lu Xingxian said: "I haven't played this card all these years, just because the timing is not right, good steel needs to be used on steel blades, you take it! I have a hunch that one day it will be used."

"Who else knows about this?"

"Only you, me, and Junior Brother Du know about it."

Lu Guang pondered for a while: "What if there is no right time?"

"Forget it, there is no need to do things that harm others and benefit yourself."

"understood."

.....................

Tang Ning returned to the cave, sat cross-legged and practiced with her eyes closed, waiting for the sect to discuss matters and decide on the selection of deacons for the intelligence department.

A few days passed in a flash, and at around noon this day, he sat cross-legged on the ground, the storage bag at his waist shook suddenly, he took out the array plate and pointed it up, took the sound transmission talisman into his hand, and poured his spiritual consciousness into it, A sentence came to mind.

He got up and escaped with a flash of light, and left the cave.

Outside the thick fog, a man with a broad forehead and a broad face was standing and waiting. Seeing him coming, he bowed and saluted: "Uncle Tang, Master Tong invites all the uncles in the headquarters to gather in the meeting hall."

There is no doubt that it must be a matter of the selection of the deacon. Tang Ning came to the meeting hall of the Middle Finger Peak in a trance, entered the hall, and saw an old man with white beard and hair sitting on the main seat above him. It was the secret courtyard The head of the hospital, Tong Quan'an.

There are three people standing straight behind him, Zhu Xu on the left, Lu Xingxian on the right, and a tall man on the right, with a tiger body and a wolf waist, but it is unknown who it is.

Several officers of the intelligence department below have already taken their seats. The four on the left, the first man has high cheekbones and a fair complexion. He is the new supervisor Liu Miao. The two have never met since he took office.

The second old man with a bright head is Chen Xuan. Looking at his face, he seems to have aged a lot in these years, and it seems that his life is not much longer.

The third one was a woman with a high bridge of nose and a few light spots.

This person is a newly promoted disciple of Zhuji, named Xu Cuiyao, who was originally the captain of the eighth team under the intelligence department.

The fourth person is an old man with white beard and hair, Zhang Yan who came back from Qiyuan Island to work.

There are also three people sitting on the right hand side, the first is Lu Guang, the second is Du Yuankai, and the third is a fat man with big ears, round and fat, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, he is about fifty years old, The mid-term cultivation of the foundation.

Tangning had never met this person before, but she already had a rough idea of ​​who he was.

Tang Ning was in charge of the intelligence station under the intelligence department, infiltrating and lurking spies in Chu State.

There is another person who is in charge of intelligence work outside of Chu, and within the borders of Qi and Wu. There is no doubt that this person is the person in charge of the intelligence agencies of Qi and Wu.

"Disciple Tangning has met Master Tong." Tangning stepped forward to salute.

Tong Quanan nodded slightly: "Sit down!"

"Yes." Tangning sat on the third seat on the right.

"Everyone from the intelligence department has arrived!"

Lu Xingxian said: "Yes, all the disciples in charge of the intelligence department are here."

"En." Tong Quan'an nodded and said, "Xiao Qian, you announce the appointment of the sect!"

"Yes." The man surnamed Xiao took out a document and read: "According to the Zongmen's resolution, from now on, Lu Xingxian will be removed from the post of deacon of the intelligence department, and Zhu Xu will be appointed as the deacon of the intelligence department."

Tong Quan'an stood up and said, "Zhu Xu, from now on, you are the deacon of the intelligence department, and you have full authority to handle the affairs of the intelligence department."

"Yes, disciple obeys." Zhu Xu replied

"Let's go!" Tong Quanan led Lu Xingxian and the man surnamed Xiao to the outside of the hall.

Everyone got up to see each other off.

After the figures of the three walked away, Zhu Xu walked to the main seat and sat down, waving his hands: "Everyone, please sit down!"

Everyone sat down one by one.

Zhu Xu said: "We are old acquaintances, so I won't say too many polite words. I am the first deacon, and everything in the department remains the same, Junior Brother Lu still goes to Qiyuan Island to take up his post, Junior Brother Chen continues to be in charge of the internal affairs of the department, Junior Brother Du is in charge of the specific matters of each action team, and Junior Sister Xu is in charge of intelligence liaison. As for the collection of intelligence, Junior Brother Zhang is also in charge."

　Thank you very much for the red envelope recommendation of book friends.

　　Fortunately, there are some manuscripts saved, and I was going to rest for a few days.But everyone is so supportive, it’s a little bit more tonight, let’s continue to update!
