The next day, Yu Ruifeng brought Leng Shiqi and a few Dark Thunder Guards into the palace and finally began their purpose for coming to Zhu Road Country, which was to hold them accountable!
Actually, at this time, it wasn't that important to hold them accountable because everyone knew the truth of the matter. All of this was done by Sang and Tong behind the scenes.
Therefore, this accountability became a formality. In the end, Zhu Road Country paid a considerable amount of resources and left the matter unsettled.
For Yu Ruifeng, although Gus, who was in the pro-war faction, ascended to the throne, Zhu Road Country had lost a large number of experts and imperial guards.
In the next few years, it would be impossible for them to cause any more trouble. At least he could answer to the higher-ups.
After that, Leng Shiqi followed Yu Ruifeng on the journey back to West Desolate Province.
When they came, there were more than twenty people, but when they returned, there were only six left. Therefore, their speed was even faster and they only took nine days to return to West Desolate City.
As soon as they returned to West Desolate City, Yu Ruifeng plunged into busy matters.
They had to carefully consider and report the information of their trip to Zhu Road Country. In addition, in the month that Yu Ruifeng left, there was a thick pile of official documents piled up in West Desolate Province. It was enough to keep him busy for a while.
Leng Shiqi and Guan Feihong rested in West Desolate City for a day and prepared to return to Lan Qi City. Before leaving, he specially went to say goodbye to Yu Ruifeng.
Who knew that Yu Ruifeng would make a decision that surprised Leng Shiqi!
He actually wanted Leng Shiqi to be the Great Supervisor of the North County!
And the current Great Supervisor, Duan Chun, planned to be transferred to the South County to fill the vacancy of Yuan Cang.
This matter was of course a good thing for Leng Shiqi, but he still had a trace of worry in his heart. That was, why did Yu Ruifeng do this?
If it was to win him over, he had already given him 10% of the cultivation resources in the Gu God Sect. Now, not only did he give him resources, but he also wanted to give him an official position. This was a bit too solicitous.
Yu Ruifeng was a dignified inspector, yet he was fawning over Leng Shiqi. This made Leng Shiqi suspicious, so he said modestly, "How could this humble servant be qualified to assume the position of Great Inspector?"
Yu Ruifeng explained, "During this mission in Zhu Lu Country, the elites of the Dark Thunder Guards suffered heavy losses. The South Region's Great Supervisor, Yuan Cang, has died.
However, the current inspectors in South County were either too inexperienced or did not have enough cultivation, so it was best to transfer a senior inspector over.
Not long ago, you destroyed the Profound Yang Sect, so you can be said to be famous in the North Region. Moreover, you are now at the Spirit Aperture Realm Middle Stage. With your ability, I believe you can suppress the North Region. "
"However, the other inspectors in the North County will not easily submit to me," Leng Shiqi said hesitantly.
Yu Ruifeng said meaningfully, "That's up to you. Just don't make a big deal out of it."
With this, Leng Shiqi smiled in his heart. He cupped his hands and said, "Since sir trusts this humble servant so much, then this humble servant will accept this position!
However, this humble servant has a small request, please allow it. "
"Hm?
Let's hear it. "
"It's like this. Milord, you've seen how this lowly one obtained his cultivation.
This humble servant's cultivation is not very stable right now, so I want to go into seclusion for a while to consolidate my cultivation. "
Yu Ruifeng lowered his eyes. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, I'll give you three months at most."
"Thank you sir for your understanding!"
— — —
A few days later, Leng Shiqi and Guan Feihong finally returned to Lan Qi City's Dark Thunder Manor after more than a month.
When they stepped into Dark Thunder Manor, Wei Guan, who had been promoted to Dark Thunder Guard, saw them immediately.
"Crash!"
The books in Wei Guan's hands all fell to the ground. He ran over in surprise and shouted, "Sir!
Sir, you're finally back! "
When Leng Shiqi saw Wei Guan's surprise and relief, his heart tightened. He asked, "Did something happen in Dark Thunder Manor?"
Wei Guan opened his mouth, but his expression dimmed. He didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Qian Ming, Qiu Cheng, and Qiao Qian heard the commotion and rushed over. They all had gloomy expressions. When they saw Leng Shiqi, they finally dispersed.
Something really did happen!
However, Leng Shiqi was still very calm. He said, "Let's go to the meeting hall and talk."
After they took a seat in the meeting hall, Leng Shiqi directly asked Qiu Cheng. He was the most qualified person here.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Qiu Cheng muttered to himself, as if he was organizing his words, "Sir, not long after you left, Yu Zimo came looking for us."
"Yu Zimo?
Who's that? "This name sounded familiar to Leng Shiqi, but he definitely didn't know this person.
"Yu Zimo is also a supervisor. The area he is in charge of is adjacent to ours.
After he arrived, he immediately asked us to give him half of our monthly tribute! "
"Hm?!"
Leng Shiqi's expression sank. His Spirit Aperture Realm fifth layer cultivation was uncontrollably activated, and a formless spirit pressure was released.
The others were surprised and delighted!
When Leng Shiqi was in the Spirit Pulse Realm, he was able to fight against Spirit Aperture Realm experts. Now that he had broken through to the Spirit Aperture Realm, Yu Zimo was no longer a threat!
Leng Shiqi's mind was spinning rapidly, but he let Qiu Cheng continue.
"Of course we didn't want to, but we don't know where Yu Zimo found …" At this point, Qiu Cheng's eyes flickered. He was a bit hesitant, but he still said, "He found evidence that Sir dealt with Gong Sun Bing and his cronies!"
When Qiu Cheng said this, Leng Shiqi could more or less guess the ins and outs of the matter.
That Yu Zimo was simply jealous of the windfall he made around Lan Qi City, but Yu Zimo didn't have the ability to imitate Leng Shiqi's methods.
Thus, he wanted to take advantage of Lan Qi City's absence to interfere.
When Leng Shiqi got rid of Gong Sun Bing and his cronies, he did leave behind some traces that couldn't be investigated. He didn't expect that Yu Zimo, the supervisor, would specifically investigate this matter.
In other words, Yu Zimo had something on Leng Shiqi and used it to blackmail him and take away the tribute.
However, Leng Shiqi thought deeper. Where did Yu Zimo get the guts to do this?!
It wasn't that Leng Shiqi thought too highly of himself. When he left the West Desolate Province, that was when his reputation was at its peak. Moreover, his public smuggling was tacitly approved by Yu Ruifeng.
As a supervisor, Yu Zimo came looking for trouble right after Leng Shiqi left. Wasn't he afraid that Leng Shiqi would come back for revenge?
Obviously, there must be someone behind Yu Zimo who was supporting him.
That person was undoubtedly Duan Chun!
