Chapter 173
Chapter 173
When Le Zheng Shui Ling returned to the compound, she was stopped at the door at first. It was unclear whether they didn't recognize her because they hadn't seen her for a long time or they were deliberately making things difficult for her. Anyway, Le Zheng Shui Ling would not suffer in vain, so she took the opportunity to tease them, and finally begged for mercy and said that they recognized her.
After she was let in, she heard them whispering, the general meaning of which was that the Mu Mansion had collapsed, and she still thought she was backed by a powerful force and was causing trouble at will, and that they had let her in just to wait for her to cause trouble and be punished.
Le Zheng Shuiling originally wanted to teach them a lesson with magic, but when she thought of Le Zhengzhi's incident, she restrained herself from taking action.
"You want me to cause trouble and then use the opportunity to frame my sister-in-law. You're dreaming."
Le Zheng Shuiling's purpose was very clear, which was to see if there were any tasks she could take. During the period, she was also very careful about her words and actions. When she met her, several masters who were greeting her could not believe that it was Le Zheng Shuiling.
Le Zheng Shuiling wanted to see what tasks were available, but she didn't know that there was a task waiting for her. When she came back, they started to perform, waiting for her to fall into the trap.
On the way, she met Le Zheng, Hong Lei and the other two, who were happily talking and whispering. Le Zheng Shui Ling was naturally attracted and went over to eavesdrop. The three of them followed Le Zheng Si Hui's instructions and deliberately told her what they were talking about.
"Have you heard? There is a very good mission recently. Not only is the reward rich, but the internship score is also very high. I heard that if you complete it, you may be promoted to a Taoist priest."
"Really? How come I didn't know?"
"Master just found out about it, so he asked us to go over there, posted a notice, and took the task under his name."
"What are you waiting for? Go now."
"oops."
"what happened?"
"I forgot the post that Master gave me."
"What are you going to do?"
"That's it. Hurry up, go back and get it."
After seeing them leave, Le Zheng Shui Ling jumped out happily and took out the post she had prepared in her sleeve.
This is to prevent any bad luck in getting a good task, so Le Zhengzhi prepared a copy for everyone early on, so that when a good task comes along, they can just post it directly.
"Humph, it's better to be prepared."
Looking at Le Zheng Shui Ling's back as she ran away happily, three people came out.
"Although Shui Ling often bullies us, she doesn't bully us for no reason. Is it really okay for us to just let her die like this?"
Le Zheng Huajiang felt a little regretful, and so did Le Zheng Honglei and Le Zheng Chaochao.
Even though he had a feud with Le Zheng and Shui Ling and the others, and was a bit harsh on Le Zheng Yuhua in the past, he was slowly accepting him now.
"We are just following the Master's orders. We should consider it as giving them a chance, a chance to become famous."
"Is it to become famous or to die?"
"Hua Jiang, stop talking. It's their business whether to choose or not."
"That's right, maybe they are not so stupid as to die in vain."
"Can't you see? This mission is bound to be completed by them."
"That has nothing to do with me. If you want to stop me, go ahead."
Le Zheng Honglei turned away with a gloomy face, and Le Zheng Chaochao had to turn around and persuade Le Zheng Huajiang.
"We can't stop this kind of thing."
Le Zheng Huajiang also understood very well that Le Zheng Sihui wanted to deal with them, and if one plan failed, he would have to come up with another. Although he did not want to go along with them, he had no choice but to get on the boat. He did not think he could be forgiven for bullying them in the past.
"Let's go."
Here, Le Zheng Shuiling happily went over and prepared to take on the task they mentioned under the name of Le Zhengzhi. Le Zheng Sihui had already paved the way for her, and the manager was Le Zheng Qingfeng, Le Zheng Sihui's elder brother.
Le Zheng Qingfeng looked at the hot potato on the table in front of him. At first, he did not agree with Le Zheng Sihui's approach. Throwing this hot potato to them was undoubtedly sending them to their deaths.
He knew that Le Zheng Sihui would find an excuse later to try to intercept the Heavenly Sword and keep it in the family. He agreed with this. He couldn't do something that would kill two birds with one stone.
When this task was delivered to him yesterday, he was very surprised. How come a task that hadn't been mentioned for decades was brought up again this time?
Moreover, the reward was so generous that it was obviously intended to lure others to take it. The Daomeng Union even attached a letter. After reading it, Le Zheng and Qingfeng had only one feeling: they hoped Le Zheng would come forward.
For this reason, Le Zhengqingfeng checked at a very fast speed and soon found out that a few days ago, several people from the Gongsun family went to Heilin to carry out a mission and had been out of contact for many days.
Therefore, this mission is not only a search and rescue mission, but also a mission to crack the Black Forest.
"The Dao League couldn't stand it anymore."
The Black Forest has always been on the map, looking like a place that no strangers can get close to. Le Zheng Qingfeng also thinks that it should be destroyed in case there are some aliens hiding in it, plotting something.
But Hei Lin never came back, and Le Zheng and Qing Feng were unwilling to take risks with their own people. However, their superiors kept hinting in the letters that Le Zheng's people had to go.
Therefore, Le Zheng Sihui wanted to seize this opportunity to get rid of Le Zheng Yuhua and others.
He knew very well that sending Le Zheng, Yu Hua and the others would surely lead to their deaths, so he was reluctant to let his own family members die there.
However, Le Zheng's people had to go. It would be a good choice for them to go. However, it would not be enough for them to go alone. Le Zheng had to send someone with reputation so that the Taoist Alliance could take a look. Le Zheng took this matter very seriously.
The figure of Le Zhengli quickly emerged in his mind. He was close to the three of them and had a relationship with Le Zheng Yuhua. If they went, it would be more natural for him to go.
Le Zhengli is Le Zheng's child prodigy. It has been many years since someone with such magical powers at his age has been seen. Although he is not a law-abiding person, the thought of killing one of him is enough to make Le Zheng Qingfeng's heart bleed.
"We need someone else."
Replacement? He didn't have any good candidates. According to the rules, if Le Zhengyuhua and the others accepted this task, it would be under Le Zhengzhi's name. For a task of this level, Le Zhengzhi would have to show up.
Even if Le Zhengqingfeng suspected that he was pretending to be crazy, he had made no progress and had no reputation over the years. If it were Le Zhengbo, it would be easier to deal with.
But this task is under his name. It is against the rules for other masters to participate. Unless they are all named in the task and carry it out together, Le Zhengbo will have to have a few disciples, and his disciples are all good.
A mission that was bound to fail, a place where there was bound to be no return. Le Zheng Qingfeng, who cherished Le Zheng's feathers, was reluctant to throw away any of them, but he had to. He could only think about how to make fewer feathers fall, as those that fell would be defective.
At present, the four of them, Master Le Zhengzhi and his disciples, are included in the calculation. The rest is to use someone's reputation to silence the gossips of the people. Even if they fail, Le Zhengzhi will be able to explain himself later, and there will be some reason to push this task forward.
Nowadays, there are not many people in Lezheng who can shut up other people in the Taoist Alliance, and they can be counted on one's fingers.
There was naturally no need to consider Le Zhengfang and Le Zhengqin. It was just a matter of shutting up, so there was no need for them to step forward. Le Zhengli and Le Zhengbo were also reluctant to do so. As for who else, he couldn't think of a suitable candidate that he was willing to do so.
At this time, Le Zheng Shuiling had already fallen into Le Zheng Sihui's plan. The people from the union deliberately did not tell her the location of the mission, and also deliberately avoided these issues in the content. They only said how good the rewards were, especially for finding the lost caravan, and she might be promoted to a Taoist priest as an exception.
At first, Le Zheng Shui Ling was also skeptical. What kind of mission would have such a good reward? It must not be a good place.
The other party deliberately raised the status of the caravan again and again, and then said that this mission had been coveted by many people. However, Le Zheng Shuiling was still doubtful and hesitant.
At this time, Le Zheng Honglei and others came with the invitation, and there were also Le Zheng Ningsi's people beside them. Le Zheng Shuiling didn't want to miss the opportunity, but she also didn't want to take the task blindly, so she was hesitating whether to hand over the invitation in her hand.
Le Zheng Ningsi's apprentice winked at the union people and cast a spell to make the post slip out of her hand. The union people immediately stamped it. By the time Le Zheng Shuiling reacted, the big red union stamp had already been stamped and the tasks had been placed on the post.
"I haven't thought about it yet..."
Le Zheng Shuiling turned around to look at the man, and then looked at the brocade box containing the task list. The task that could be placed like this was a high-level task, and in theory only the master could take it.
Le Zheng Shuiling wanted to refuse the task based on this rule, but every word the other party said implied that they had it in their hands. Le Zheng Shuiling immediately realized that all this was a trap to lure her in.
She reached out to see what the task was, and Le Zheng Ningsi's apprentice came over, held the lid and stared at her.
"This mission is destined to be yours. It would be better to volunteer, right?"
"You are plotting against me."
"Yes, but it's too late."
"I'll go and ask the head of the family for justice."
She grabbed Le Zheng Shuiling's hand.
"Can your words alone outweigh ours? Everyone knows your temper. If you ignore the obstruction and insist on receiving it as an exception, and even make a scene here, with all of us as witnesses, do you think this is still reasonable? By then, you have no ability but still pretend, and you are afraid of death. If this reputation gets out, there will be no chance for you to be a Taoist priest."
Her smug look made Le Zheng Shuiling very unwilling, but what she said was true.
Le Zheng Shuiling shook her hand off fiercely, not showing any fear, and took the stamped post and the task box.
"Just wait, this mission will definitely make you regret it."
"Haha, I'll wait."
Le Zheng Shuiling held her things and walked out the door with her head held high. Only when she was far away did her tears start to fall.
"Nowadays, the only one who can have such a reward is Heilin. I'm in trouble. Brother Yuhua, Qiming, and Master, what should I do?"
