mysterious forerunner

Chapter 187 What’s coming is coming

Zhang Qingxiang suddenly felt at ease.

It is still unknown when the Xiao family will fall in the future. If they survive this time, Zhang Qingxiang will be disgusted.

The scene described by Du Jinpeng will appear. The Xiao family will use the mysterious instrument developed by Zhang Qingxiang and a sailor to make huge amounts of wealth and continue to live in luxury.

Therefore, letting them fall in this incident is undoubtedly the "best result".

"Thank you." Zhang Qingxiang thanked him sincerely: "I'm confident."

Du Jinpeng didn't hear the content of the call, but when he saw Zhang Qingxiang answered the call, his whole demeanor suddenly changed from calm to aggressive... He was very confused: What's going on?

Zhang Qingxiang said to Du Jinpeng: "Let's continue talking. You ask me if I can accept it - I can answer you, I have no problem."

Du Jinpeng asked with some doubt, "Really?"

"Really, when have I ever lied to you?"

This sentence immediately made Du Jinpeng feel very bad! First of all, this bitch has deceived me more than once! Secondly, no matter how you listen to these words, it feels like coaxing a child: "Dad, when did you ever lie to you?" - the killing effect is equivalent to the sentence: You just stand here and don't move.

Du Jinpeng glared at him fiercely: "Then I will launch this plan immediately." He stood up and walked out: "I will fly to the capital now."

When he reached the door, he turned around again: "I really put my life and property on it!"

Zhang Qingxiang smiled slightly and raised his eyebrows: "I will definitely make you a lot of money - this sentence is definitely not a lie to you."

Du Jinpeng scratched his head angrily: "If you don't add the second half of the sentence, the effect will be better."

Then he opened the door forcefully, and strode out like a warrior ready to die generously.

……

As usual today, a Taoist from the First Channel came down into three groups with two of his men. When he saw Zhang Qingxiang, he pulled him aside and whispered: "Someone is coming from the capital. Lin Jiamu and Jiao Pengliang went to the airport to pick him up early this morning."

"It seems to be Professor Shao and an important figure in the Capital Committee."

Zhang Qingxiang nodded and said: "Let's put aside the stone matter for now. I have prepared some information for you. You can take a look."

After Du Jinpeng left, Zhang Qingxiang took the time to write a document.

A Taoist from Yihang went to Zhang Qingxiang's office and read the information carefully. His eyes lit up: "This thing is great!"

He quickly read it again: "I think it's completely feasible! Well... there are a few small problems that need to be overcome, but the general idea is fine."

Zhang Qingxiang asked: "How long will it take to make it?"

A channel man made an estimate: "In three days, I can solve these problems in three days at most. But we need a [machinist] or [alchemist] to make it."

Zhang Qingxiang nodded: "I will solve this problem, and you will do your best to overcome these problems."

"it is good!"

A Taoist man took the information and left happily.

Ye Yousheng asked quietly: "Can Taoist Master do it?"

"It must be possible, I believe him." Zhang Qingxiang replied with a smile.

"Oh." Ye Yousheng took it for granted. If his brother said yes, then it must be no problem.

Zhang Qingxiang is certainly confident, because the thing in this document is called a "weight meter", which is about the size of a schoolbag and can be used to determine the approximate power range of the mysterious scene.

With this thing, the highest level of the mystery inside can be determined outside the mysterious scene, which has extremely important reference value for the secret case team to deal with the scene.

It is of little use to Zhang Qingxiang, but it is very helpful to the secret case teams in other cities.

In the previous life, the "Weighting Instrument" was a masterpiece made famous by a sailor!

He came to prominence by inventing this mysterious instrument, and then gradually became the number one in the Chinese mystical academia.

Before Zhang Qingxiang was reborn, the "weight meter" was already the standard equipment of secret security bureaus around the world, and every agent had one.

However, after many improvements at that time, the "weight meter" was only the size of a watch and was very convenient to carry.

Zhang Qing didn't know much about other mysterious instruments, but the "weight meter"... was the proud work of a Taoist. After he became an academic great, he would often use it to brag.

Zhang Qingxiang naturally heard people mention it countless times in the General Administration.

Zhang Qingxiang secretly felt that it was mysterious: the "famous work" of a Taoist in this life was actually a weighing instrument!
Then everything suddenly became quiet again.

Lin Jiamu's side was obviously ready to launch, but suddenly it stopped. Zhang Qingxiang guessed that Du Jinpeng had initially convinced the Meng family, and the Meng family did something secretly to delay Lin Jiamu's actions.

During the day, Zhang Qingxiang made several calls in succession and asked about Wang Changyong's recruitment of a new [machinist].

There is only the first level, but the first generation "Component Meter" is not difficult to make, and the first level [Mechanic] is enough.

Zhang Qingxiang made an appointment with Wang Changyong to borrow him for three days, and then went to prepare for duty at night.

If you want to advance to the seventh level, you have to go to large-scale scenes. Zhang Qingxiang's time is very tight.

Team leader Zhang only caught one large scene that night.

The captains under him have all been promoted to the fourth level, and Ye Yousheng has been promoted to the fifth level. The three groups are really "strong soldiers and strong horses". Even in this large-scale scene, Feng Lintong and others were extremely confident and repeatedly told the team leader: "We can solve it without you taking action."

Zhang Qingxiang insisted on going, which made the captains a little confused.

Team Leader Zhang was anxious and decided not to be picky about food tomorrow night. No matter what the scale of the scene, he would rush in and have a good time.

Quality is not enough for quantity.

So my captains will be even more confused tomorrow night.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Zhang Qingxiang received a call from Tan Beiliu: "Why do you have to get involved in the fight between the Xiao family and the Meng family?"

Zhang Qingxiang was surprised: "You know?"

What surprised Zhang Qingxiang was not that he knew, but that he would make this call to remind himself.

We just have a cooperative relationship, or to put it more directly, it is a business.

There was no need for Tan Beiliu to risk offending both the Xiao family and the Meng family by making this call to himself.

Tan Beiliu reminded: "Don't be used as a gunman."

After hanging up the phone, Tan Beiliu looked at his sister in front of him and spread his hands: "I have said everything that needs to be said. It's up to him to choose."

Tan Beixiang nodded, rubbed the cotton in his arms, and sighed softly.

Zhang Qingxiang, please don't be greedy and get out as soon as possible. For the sake of cotton, I can only help you so far.

Different people look at the same thing from different angles and see different things.

The Tan family didn't know Zhang Qingxiang's persistence. From the perspective of the children of their family, this incident was another collision between the Xiao family and the Meng family.

Similar things have happened many times in the past hundred years.

Of course there is no problem for the Du family to move closer to the Meng family. Of course, the relationship between the aristocratic families will be close and distant.

Regardless of victory or defeat, the Meng family will protect the Du family, otherwise who will seek refuge with the Meng family in the future?
But Zhang Qingxiang is a small person, and it is unwise to get involved in such a big event. If the Meng family won, they would probably only throw him bones, not a few ounces of meat.

But if they lose...the Meng family will protect the Du family but not Zhang Qingxiang.

Tan Beixiang asked her brother: "Can I still go to the three-point group these days?"

Tan Beiliu thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead. It won't have much impact on us. If Zhang Qingxiang is removed from office, no matter who his successor is, he won't dare to fail to fulfill the contract with our family."

"I'll treat the fourth son of the Xiao family to a meal later, and it'll be fine if we get the conversation started."

Tan Beixiang nodded, and Tan Beiliu reminded: "If Zhang Qingxiang doesn't listen to the advice and insists on getting involved in this matter... then this person just doesn't know how to advance or retreat. You should be careful and don't get close to him."

"I see."

……

Tan Beiliu was extremely benevolent enough to make this phone call.

Zhang Qingxiang knew very well that Tan Beiliu would not understand him. Even if he told Tan Beiliu that the whole thing was initiated by himself and Du Jinpeng, Tan Beiliu would still think their behavior was ridiculous.

But Zhang Qingxiang secretly appreciated this reminder call.

He told Deng Wanhong to prepare more delicious food for Mian at noon.

When dinner started at twelve o'clock, Taoist Yihang came first. Zhang Qingxiang laughed and said, "We just want to eat together..."

A Taoist man dragged him and said, "We have something serious to do."

The two entered the office, and a Taoist man took out a pile of information: "It's done!"

Zhang Qingxiang was greatly surprised: "So fast?"

Taoist Yihang laughed and said, "I didn't expect it either.

Yesterday I took the materials back. The difficult questions were actually quite difficult, and the three days were actually quite tense.

Unexpectedly, when I started studying after I went back, my ideas were so smooth... You may not believe it when I tell you, it was as if I already knew the answers to these difficult problems, and found suitable solutions one by one smoothly without anyone else's help!

God is really helping me, hehehe..."

Zhang Qingxiang raised his thumb and said: "I will contact Teacher Wang Changyong immediately and ask the [machinist] in their group for help."

The agreement between Zhang Qingxiang and Wang Changyong was originally three days later. When he heard that the Yihang Dao people had solved the problem in advance, Wang Changyong sent his people over without any hesitation.

But Wang Changyong was in the second group and complained to Feng Xiaoxian:
"The dead Taoist priest knows how to make camp!"

"I was busy hitting the back of my head with my heel, while he was holding Yanei's thigh and licking it hard."

"Now his relationship with Yanei is closer than mine."

No matter how Wang Changyong arranges Taoist Yihang, he is indeed jealous.

"The Essence of Chuanwu - Practicing and Fighting Forty-Seven Moves" Wang Changyong only learned fourteen moves.

He is already the one who has learned the most among those around Zhang Qingxiang. For example, Shi Fangjie and Zhang Qingxiang were only taught the "dagger" skill because the weapon he used was a Type 95 saber.

It’s not that Zhang Qingxiang is reluctant to teach, it’s that everyone only needs to specialize in one subject, and there will be no need for more.

Only Wang Changyong is different. He is a [Martial Arts Master]. The more he learns, the better. Only by being able to absorb everything and understand everything can he make further progress.

But he has been too busy with work recently, and Wang Changyong didn't find time to ask Yanei for advice in person.

Now seeing that Taoist Yihang is far ahead in terms of "intimacy", Wang Changyong gnashed his teeth in hatred towards the Taoist priest.

"No, after duty tonight, I have to go to the third group!"

Feng Xiaoxian hummed and said: "Master Yihang will not go empty-handed. Their tea is hard currency. I heard that even Mr. Guo would look around every time he went to the third group and cut it when he found it. Go half way..."

Wang Changyong touched the beard stubble on his chin and said thoughtfully: "You are right, I have recently saved some secret materials, but I won't use them anyway, so I gave them all to the Yameni."

Feng Xiaoxian's eyes widened: No need? !
Those are all fourth-level secret materials. You guys are so crazy just to curry favor with the second generation official!
The atmosphere of the secret case team has been ruined by you!
Can you take me alone? I don’t want to escape from the mire without being stained. Please let me join you in the dirt!
But Wang Changyong obviously didn't intend to take him with him and let him take the initiative to flatter Yanei... He was still very arrogant.

……

The [Mechanic] in the second group is named Song Hewu.

He rushed to the third group, cowered like a quail, and was brought to Zhang Qingxiang and Taoist Yihang. Zhang Qingxiang looked at him strangely: "What's wrong with you?"

Song Hewu said with a mournful face: "Ya Nei, I have a professional ability that can roughly sense the approximate rank of everyone within a hundred meters around me."

"However, this ability has a limitation. It can only be sensed if it is not hostile to me, so it is basically useless."

"But as soon as I came in...there were too many big guys in the third group, and the fourth level was all over the place. I, I didn't dare to make any mistakes."

He is in the second group. The strongest Wang Changyong and Feng Xiaoxian are only at the third level and have not yet broken through the fourth level.

Zhang Qingxiang smiled and pointed to him: "This skill is very good - you think it is useless, but it is actually of great use.

This skill is not used to sense the strength of the people around you at all, but to screen out the targets around you that are hostile to you. "

Song Hewu's eyes lit up: "Yes, why didn't I expect that?" He tilted his head and thought for a while: "Everyone in our group, including the team leader and deputy team leader, all know about this skill of mine. No one has ever thought about it." Teach me how to use it..."

Song Hewu looked at Zhang Yanei eagerly: "Can I move to the three-point group?"

Zhang Qingxiang said "uh", saying that professions like [machinist] are currently very scarce in the original city's secret case team. If Song Hewu really comes over, Zhang Qingxiang will also focus on training him.

But borrowing someone from Teacher Wang, and then never paying it back... is really hard to explain.

A Taoist from the First Channel came to the rescue and said: "Do a good job in this mission! As long as you can complete it well, I will tell Wang Changyong to transfer you to the third group."

"Really?" Song He and Wu were overjoyed.

"Can I still lie to you about my status? Don't worry." Taoist Yihang patted his chest to confirm.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Wang Changyong "hated him to the bone" and that Master Tao's face was destined to fall to the ground this time.

Song Hewu immediately opened the information and studied it carefully. For half an hour, he felt quite embarrassed: "It is very difficult. It will take at least three days to make one."

Zhang Qingxiang was a little disappointed: "As soon as possible."

Zhang Qingxiang didn't know how much longer the Xiao family could give him.

The whole thing seems "calm" at the moment, but in fact the two families must be wrestling in secret, and the struggle takes place where Zhang Qingxiang can't see it.

……

Another day passed, after Wang Changyong led the team on duty, he was alone in the office sorting out the secret materials recently harvested.

He was going to "visit" his students. Zhang Qingxiang, the leader of the third group, was preparing gifts.

Teachers should take the initiative to visit students and prepare gifts. What's even more exaggerated is that Teacher Wang is always worried that the gifts are not substantial enough.

He was picking and choosing among his secret materials, worried that they were not valuable enough. He heard that the student was already at the fifth level. (Zhang Qingxiang's promotion to the sixth level has not been told to anyone else. Only Ye Yousheng in the secret case team knew about it.) The level is too low, people will look down upon it...

Then Wang Changyong picked out the only three fourth-level items. He felt a pain in his heart, but still stuffed them into the bag. Carrying this precious "souvenir", Wang Changyong was about to go out when he looked up and saw Feng Xiaoxian. He was leaning against the door frame, holding a bottle of children's calcium milk in his hand, biting the straw in his mouth, looking straight at him.

Wang Changyong's old face turned red: He thought Feng Xiaoxian was looking down on him. Even though you are a teacher, you flattered the students so shamelessly and gave them gifts.

Feng Xiaoxian was dissatisfied: This old man is too unethical. When you went to visit the Yameni, you didn't know how to invite me casually - then I just went with you half-heartedly.

I've been standing at the door for a long time, and you just packed the gifts without even looking at me. That's too much!

As for the fact that Feng Xiaoxian was also Wang Changyong's student and he should "respect his teacher and his teachings"... Feng Xiaoxian said it didn't matter.

Wang Changyong said nothing, holding the bag in his hand and staring at Feng Xiaoxian as he walked out.

Why don't you get out of the way quickly? I have to go today!
Martial arts is my lifelong pursuit. What does it mean to lose some face for it? You can't stop me.

Feng Xiaoxian held the straw in his mouth, biting it with teeth marks all over it. He also stared at Wang Changyong and blocked half of the door with his body.

Just ask me and I will agree to go with you!
Both parties felt that they had expressed their meaning clearly with firm eyes.

We are all smart people. There is no need to explain some things too clearly. You can understand them just by making eye contact.

The result of "understanding" was that the two of them bumped into each other firmly in the door frame.

The strength of the two men was about the same. They each swayed for a moment and failed to stabilize their bodies. They bounced to both sides, and their shoulders hit the door frames on both sides.

Click!

The door frame had several long cracks.

Wang Changyong sighed, stepped out of the way, and ordered his secretary: "Report for repair, the office door was broken by Feng Xiaoxian, and it will be deducted from his salary."

"???" Feng Xiaoxian and his secretary stared at each other.

Wang Changyong drove to the third group by himself. As soon as he entered the gate, the students from the previous secret training class all greeted him enthusiastically: "Teacher Wang is here."

"Teacher Wang is a rare guest, come and see us often in the future."

Wang Changyong felt bright on his face, and responded with a smile, and asked: "Where is Team Leader Zhang? I made an appointment with him."

"The team leader is upstairs. I'll take you up."

"No need, I know the place."

When Wang Changyong came up, Zhang Qingxiang was studying the "Narrow Pupil Flying Sword" in the [Void Storage Compartment] in the office.

This was "stolen" by Zhang Qingxiang during the scene of human sacrifice and sword refining.

When Zhang Qingxiang locked this thing in a void storage compartment, he took a gamble to see if he could bring it out.

After coming out, Zhang Qingxiang quietly checked it immediately and found that it was really successful!

Zhang Qingxiang was secretly ecstatic. Whether or not this narrow-eyed flying sword could be used and what its rank was were actually not very important to Zhang Qingxiang.

This experiment was successful and proved a possibility: you can use the [Void Storage Compartment] to steal some "items" from mysterious scenes in the future!
"It will take a few more experiments before we can finally determine it."

Being busy with the Xiao family's affairs the past few days, Zhang Qingxiang didn't have time to examine the "Narrow Pupil Flying Sword" carefully. There was no movement in the Xiao family these days, so Zhang Qingxiang began to study this thing.

"The rank is actually not low, at least fifth level."

He was interrupted by Wang Changyong in the middle of the study. Zhang Qingxiang closed the [Void Storage Compartment] and enthusiastically welcomed Teacher Wang in.

Teacher Wang took out the "gift". Zhang Qingxiang took one look at it and waved his hand: "This is too valuable, I can't accept it."

Wang Changyong thrust something into his hand angrily: "Why are you so polite? Take it! I don't need it anyway."

Zhang Qingxiang thought for a moment and accepted it for now.

Zhang Qingxiang could guess what Teacher Wang was thinking. If he was really tough and refused to accept it, Teacher Wang might even be murmuring in his heart.

Use these materials to build a weapon for Teacher Wang.

"Teacher Wang, sit down first, I will make tea for you." Zhang Qingxiang said to Wang Changyong while making tea: "Teacher Wang should have already mastered those previous moves, right? I have a few more moves here, and I have written them down in my notebook. , I’ll bring it back to you later.”

Wang Changyong was overjoyed, and his heart dropped to pieces. He grinned and was about to say a word of thanks when a shout came from the yard outside: "Zhang Qingxiang——"

Nowadays, in the entire original city's secret case system, there are only two people who dare to call people by their names, and they shout at the top of their lungs from downstairs: Mr. Guo and Zhang Ruiqian.

Zhang Qingxiang's heart skipped a beat: The Xiao family... is here!
Almost at the same time, Zhang Qingxiang's mobile phone vibrated with a message from Du Jinpeng: the two companies had reached an agreement, and there was a competition between the First Channel Director and Professor Shao to see whose mysterious instrument was better.

……

There were several cars parked in the yard. As soon as Mr. Guo got out of the car, he shouted that he was in a good mood and full of energy.

He believed that Xiao Zhang could understand what he meant.

The voice was very abrupt, and the message it conveyed was very clear: trouble is coming.

A group of people got off several cars one after another. Lin Jiamu and Jiao Pengliang were surrounded by an old man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a Chinese tunic suit, and meticulously combed snow-white hair.

There was another middle-aged man beside the old man.

Zhang Qingxiang and Wang Changyong quickly went downstairs. Mr. Guo gave him a cryptic look, then pointed at the old man and introduced him: "This is Professor Shao, the famous mysterious expert in the capital."

Zhang Qingxiang smiled with a smile on his face and shook hands warmly: "Welcome, welcome, Pengpi will shine!"

Professor Shao was quite imposing. He casually stretched out his hand to shake Zhang Qing's hand and then let go.

Mr. Guo pointed to the middle-aged man on the side: "This is Director Xiao, from the Capital Committee, our top leader."

People from the Xiao family.

Director Xiao was very good at showing off. He shook his head in fear and took the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Qingxiang: "Mr. Guo is trying to hurt me. It's all for work."

Then he said to Zhang Qingxiang: "I heard that you have contained an incredible secret object. Professor Shao wants to come over and have a look. He is the top expert in the country and the leader's treasure. Of course I want to accompany him."

Lin Jiamu interjected at an inappropriate moment: "It's not really 'remarkable'. There are many secrets at this level in the capital, but it's really good if they are placed in the provinces and cities below. They are a My dear, I can understand."

　I had a cold and fever during the annual meeting. When I returned home, I was stopped by the customs for an inspection. I called this morning and found out that I had Yang...
