Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 496: A Visitor from Baiyujing

There was a busy scene inside the Martial Arts Review Department.

Officials were overwhelmed by the issue of martial arts evaluation.

The Wupingsi was a place for military officers to make their fortunes, on par with the Wenyuan Pavilion. In order to show the royal family's kindness and leniency towards military men all over the world and their eagerness to recruit talented people, the yamen was not set up in the Qianbu Corridor, but in the inner palace.

Extremely special.

The Director of the Military Evaluation Department is just like the Grand Secretary of the Wenyuan Pavilion, which is an extremely noble official title.

Li Rui walked into the Military Evaluation Office.

The first thing that catches your eye is the dazzling array of weapons.

Wenyuan Pavilion was originally a place where the royal family stored books, and the same was true for Wupingsi, which was a place to store weapons, so it was normal to have a lot of weapons.

There are countless rare weapons collected among them.

Even first-grade immortal weapons were hidden among them.

"Master Li."

A middle-aged strong man with a beard came forward.

He smiled at Li Rui.

This person is the current director of the Martial Arts Evaluation Department and was once a top martial arts champion.

Li Rui smiled and looked at Si Zheng Wu Ping.

"Master Wu, how is the martial arts review?"

He received this assignment from Prime Minister Zhang yesterday, and then went to the Military Evaluation Office to check the situation.

Wu Ping said respectfully: "Master Li, thirty people in the office are already sorting it out, but..."

Then he showed an embarrassed look.

"Sir, there are too many immortal cultivators, and the parties have been slow to send us intelligence, which may have delayed us."

Li Rui looked at Wu Ping.

He was very familiar with this rhetoric.

First they say they will do their best, then they mention the difficulties, and then they throw all the problems onto other government offices.

This way, you can be exempted from responsibility.

Very old-fashioned.

But it's also very effective.

This has been proven to be effective time and time again in the court, from the ninth rank to the first rank.

And to say that these people are shirking responsibility is not true. It is difficult to get things done.

of course.

To say that Wu Ping is simply shirking responsibility would be unfair to him.

There are no more than thirty people in the Martial Arts Review Office.

My job is to organize intelligence.

The key lies in Dayu's terrifying intelligence network that spans the entire world.

Without intelligence, even if one has extraordinary abilities, one cannot compile a martial arts review.

Li Rui's smile faded: "Sir Wu, this is something that His Majesty has ordered, and it must be done. You should know that if you fail to do it, you will not be able to bear the blame."

Wu Ping was stunned.

Soon he smiled again: "Master Li is right."

I was slightly surprised.

This Lord Li is known in Beijing as a good guy and is very approachable. Now it seems that the rumors may be wrong.

Just based on the official authority he displayed just now, it's impossible to get along with him easily.

He is clearly a veteran in officialdom.

Wu Ping dared not neglect it again.

Before he could speak, Li Rui continued, "Time cannot be changed. If there are any problems, sort them out now. I will inspect the East China Sea in accordance with the order of His Majesty in the near future."

Patrolling the East China Sea?!
Hear the words.

Wu Ping's eyes suddenly widened.

He had been an official for many years and he realized instantly that the opportunity to break the impasse had come!
The so-called inspection.

Among the people, he has a more famous name, called the Imperial Commissioner.

Holding the Imperial Sword, he could execute officials below the third rank first and report later, which was quite impressive.

The local officials were all afraid of him.

It’s just that the place Li Rui inspected this time was a little special.

Generally, imperial envoys inspect various provinces throughout the country.

Li Rui went to the East China Sea.

What is there in the East China Sea?
In addition to the countless sea monsters, there are of course those overseas immortal sects.

The martial arts review in the world still follows the rules of that time.

Only comment on the obvious school, not the hidden school.

The territory of Yu State has long been assessed in all aspects, but the most troublesome thing is the numerous fairy islands and fairy sects scattered overseas.

As long as Li Rui patrols the East China Sea, he can bring in information from the major immortal sects.

The difficulty of martial arts evaluation can be greatly reduced.

"Okay, okay, I'll do it right away, and I'll definitely deliver it to you within three days."

Wu Ping agreed immediately.

He has a good boss who can help him solve the biggest problem. If he still shirks his responsibilities at this time, his position as the Director of the Martial Arts Evaluation Department will be over.

He couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.

Fortunately, the person hosting the martial arts review this time was Li Rui.

They are undoubtedly much better than those officials who deceive their subordinates and hide the truth from their superiors.

"I have heard that this Lord Li is highly valued by His Majesty. Now it seems that this is indeed the case."

He is well versed in the ways of officialdom.

If one wants to get things done in the court, one's own cultivation is important, but the Holy Emperor's respect is more important.

Li Rui has both.

It is a great fortune to work under such a boss.

Li Rui looked at Wu Ping's positive attitude and nodded with satisfaction.

"good."

I secretly praised him in my heart.

Even if Wu Ping had received his promise, he would still be timid and shirk responsibility.

Then he might have to consider replacing the chief officer of the Martial Arts Evaluation Department.

Get the job done.

Li Rui did not stay in the Military Evaluation Office for long.

Out of the Meridian Gate.

So he returned to the yamen of Xunshansi.

Xunshansi is still as deserted as ever.

Walk into the office room.

There was already a person sitting inside, it was He Qiannian.

"Senior He, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's okay, just do your job. It's great that I can participate in the martial arts review."

He Qiannian didn't care.

Li Rui: "I have given the instructions. In seven days, we will set out for the East China Sea."

He Qiannian nodded.

Not bad.

Li Rui plans to take He Qiannian with him on this inspection of the East China Sea.

Li Rui invited He Qiannian to revise the martial arts review, but it was impossible for him to directly ask He Qiannian to go to the Martial Arts Review Department.

Although He Qiannian once worked in the secret guards, he is now just an ordinary person with no official position or rank.

To enter or leave the palace, one must obtain approval from the Holy Emperor.

Although Li Rui thought that he had left a good impression in the heart of the Holy Emperor, he would not really regard the palace as his own home. He would let in whoever he wanted. This was no different from entering the palace with a sword and shoes or receiving the Nine Gifts.

Almost everyone who dares to do this ends up badly.

He Qiannian: "Little Li, this inspection of the East China Sea will not be easy."

"That's what the senior reminded me of."

Touring the states with great power.

That’s because officials in all states are appointed and dismissed by the imperial court, and the imperial power is the majesty of heaven, so naturally no one dares to provoke them.

But the East China Sea is different.

Although according to legal principles, the East China Sea is the territory of the Yu State.

But in fact, apart from those fishermen, the Yu State court had almost no influence in the East China Sea.

Not to mention those immortal sects.

Li Rui's trip will definitely be full of difficulties.

But it must be done.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.

At this point, no matter from which aspect, Li Rui can be considered a successful person, and it is impossible for him to avoid everything.

You should do what you should do and not do what you shouldn’t do.

Moreover, whether it was to take up the post of Taiping Ling or to preside over the military review, he had to go to the East China Sea.

It would be better to use the power of the imperial envoy to get things done.

Now he is already a high-ranking official in Yu State.

To use the words of the previous life, it means that you have become a shareholder, and you all prosper together and suffer together.

Although Li Rui was not completely tied up.

But his martial arts requires a stable environment. The more stable the Yu Kingdom is, the more comfortable he will be in practicing.

Of course, we will do it if we can.

dusk.

The setting sun dyed the clouds in the sky a bright red.

The capital city remains as prosperous as ever.

It’s just that there are far fewer pedestrians on the streets than during the day.

A carriage slowly drove through the city gate.

The guards in front of the city gate had no intention of stopping it, because they all recognized that it was the carriage of the Imperial Observatory, and sitting inside it was the director of the Imperial Observatory, Gu Changsheng.

Who dares to stop?
The carriage drove through the streets.

At this time.

A woman's voice rang out from the carriage: "Just stop here."

The person driving was Han Qin.

"Okay."

Han Qin gently pulled the reins, and the demon horse snorted, breathed heavily, and stopped.

Just about to jump off the carriage.

When I turned my head, I saw the car curtain being slowly lifted.

First there was a man with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and an upright figure, and then there was a woman with an extremely beautiful appearance and an extraordinary appearance.

The two men got off the carriage.

The last one is an old man with a sage-like demeanor.

Not bad.

The person sitting in the car was not Gu Changsheng.

But Gu Changsheng's "friend."

The old man looked at the Golden-roofed Imperial City not far away, stroked his beard and laughed.

Han Qin stood behind the three people a little stiffly, watching silently.

These three people are immortals banished from the lower world and distinguished guests of Gu Changsheng.

From a few words, Han Qin heard that they all seemed to be from Baiyujing.
