Volume 54 Chapter 1

♂,

Time has entered the end of November in the blink of an eye, winter is approaching, and the weather in Dragon Emperor City is getting colder. In the imperial gardens of the Forbidden City, the frost is like silver every morning. , golden tea, and tiger chrysanthemum are no longer beautiful, and the flowers in the imperial garden have withered. Only a piece of red plum in the plum garden begins to show brilliant glory in this season of dormant flowers, ushering in the own season.

Leng Manxue was born in winter, so she likes winter very much, and she likes plum blossoms that can stand out in winter and bloom proudly. In the Forbidden City, Leng Manxue's residence is close to the plum garden in the inner court. On the small building, once you open the window, you can see the scenery in the plum garden.

Last night, snowflakes began to fall in the Dragon Emperor City. The next morning, when the chief manager of the Forbidden City woke up, he habitually opened the vermilion window, and thousands of purple-red dots amidst the plain white came into view instantly. The mood of the chief manager of the Forbidden City suddenly improved.

"The wind and rain send spring back, and the snow welcomes spring.

It is already a cliff of hundreds of feet of ice, and there are still beautiful flowers and branches.

Beauty does not compete for spring, but only reports spring.

When the mountain flowers are in full bloom, she laughs in the bushes. "

Looking at the scenery in front of her, Leng Manxue couldn't help but read a poem.

Of course, this word was not written by Leng Manxue, but Zhang Tie said it casually when Zhang Tie saw Leng Manxue again after coming out of retreat last month, and the two talked about plum blossoms. Among them, he likes this song the most, and Leng Manxue remembered it right away. Not only Zhang Tie likes this song, but Leng Manxue also likes it, because Leng Manxue feels that there is a kind of broad feeling in this song, a kind that can be used in despair. The power of hope and light in it gives people hope and light. This feeling and power can resonate with the deepest part of people's hearts. Under Leng Manxue's begging, Zhang Tie personally wrote this poem for her. It was given to Leng Manxue as a gift.

At this moment, this poem is hanging in the boudoir of Leng Manxue's attic, and Leng Manxue has to look at it every day.

The words are not runes, but there are also magical powers in the words.

"Is spring coming?" Looking at the Forbidden City covered in silver overnight, looking at the golden glazed tiles on the houses and palaces that were covered under the snow, Leng Man Xue muttered to herself, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Winter is here, can spring be far behind?

In this rare good mood, the Forbidden City's Chief Leng started his busy day.

When Zhang Tie retreated,

Leng Manxue's main duty is to be the logistics manager of the Qianji Office and the Fifth Courtyard. Leng Manxue is responsible for all the paper, ink, tea and water needed by the Qianji Office and the Fifth Courtyard in the Forbidden City. The person who ran errands between the Fifth Courtyard and the Qianji Office was also a subordinate of Leng Manxue. Almost everything that happened in the Forbidden City was under Leng Manxue's nose.

Leng Manxue organized these important things that happened every day into a report, and handed it to Zhang Tie when Zhang Tie came out of retreat.

The last time Zhang Tie came out of retreat was not to write lyrics for Leng Manxue, but to complete the second deal with Wu Qiankun of Wa Palace.

Leng Manxue knew that Wu Qiankun sent the second batch of magic generals to Zhang Tie. Compared with the first batch, the total number of the second batch of magic generals sent by Wu Qiankun reached six. Afterwards, it was Leng Manxue who arranged for the six large iron cabinets to be sent to the Jiaotai Hall where Zhang Tie retreated.

The second transaction went smoothly and peacefully. After the transaction was completed, Wa Huanggong and Wu Qiankun also left without any twists and turns.

After completing this transaction, Zhang Tie also did not spend the night in Qianqing Palace, but just stayed for an afternoon, wrote a picture for Leng Manxue, rested and adjusted a bit, ate a big meal, and that night, He entered the Jiaotai Hall again and began to practice in closed doors.

This is also where Zhang Tie makes Leng Manxue feel a little admired. As the Dragon Emperor, he still works so hard, which really makes many people feel ashamed.

Zhang Tie's example is here. Even the elders of the Dragon Emperor Temple followed suit, and all of them stopped. Except for the elders who were on duty at Qianji, the other elders, when they were not on duty, They are also practicing in seclusion one by one, not daring to meddle in the affairs of the Fifth Courtyard at will.

Zhang Tie's hard work and hard work, in the eyes of others, may take this hard work and hard work as a role model, but in Leng Manxue's eyes, Leng Manxue always feels that Zhang Tie seems to have something on his mind. Just to make yourself stronger.

As I spent more days with Zhang Tie and got to know Zhang Tie better, the image of Zhang Tie in Leng Manxue's heart was not becoming clearer, but more and more foggy, making it hard to see through. And it's getting more and more unpredictable.

Sometimes, Leng Manxue completely felt that she and Zhang Tie were people from two worlds.

...

Leng Manxue, the chief manager of the Forbidden City, works in the Xileng Pavilion next to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

All the affairs in the Forbidden City are handled by special personnel. Leng Manxue only needs to sit in command and arrange people. There are more than ten generals under Leng Manxue. There are not too many things that she can really do by herself.

Just like in the past, the first thing Leng Manxue did in the morning was to inspect the Forbidden City in person, and then returned to Xilang Pavilion to handle official business.

"Commander Huang went to the Dibao Pavilion yesterday afternoon. He had some disputes with Principal Guan about the Dragon Tooth Army, and they ended up breaking up in a bad mood!"

In the Xilang Pavilion, Leng Manxue had just handled a few official duties when one of her subordinates came down to report to her what happened in the Dibaoyuan yesterday.

"Oh, why are Commander Huang and Principal Guan arguing?"

"I heard that it was for the payment of the Dragon Tooth Army. Last month, the Dragon Tooth Army under Commander Huang recruited more than 200 generals, but the Dibao Academy did not increase the salary for the Dragon Tooth Army, so Commander Huang I came to ask Director Guan about it, and Director Guan told Commander Huang that there was a budget for the military pay of the Dragon Tooth Army assigned by the Dibao Academy, and the new generals recruited by the Dragon Tooth Army that month were not included in the budget of the Dibao Academy that month. If the Dragon Tooth Army wants to increase its military salary, it must report to the Dibao Institute in advance for the establishment, and Commander Huang means that the recruitment of the Dragon Tooth Army's generals must pass the assessment, and those who pass can join the Dragon Tooth Army , In terms of establishment and number of people, he can't accurately know in advance how many people will pass the test and join, at most he can only estimate, I hope the director Guan can accommodate..."

"What did the Master Guan say?"

"I can't accommodate, so Commander Huang brought this matter to the Qianji Department, and wanted the elders to coordinate and resolve it..."

"Okay, you go down..." Seeing that subordinate leave, Leng Manxue couldn't help but sighed in her heart, and then took a pen to briefly record the matter in the report.

Although Leng Manxue is more inclined to Huang Baimei in her heart, she also knows that in this matter, the director Guan of the Dibaoyuan is not wrong, because this is the responsibility and procedure of the Dibaoyuan, and Commander Huang is also not wrong. , The Dragon Tooth Army's new expansion of recruitment is Zhang Tie's idea. Huang Baimei is strict and meticulous in his work, and Huang Baimei really can't do it, and it's more troublesome. Not to mention that it is a felony in the Dragon Emperor Temple, it is difficult to explain it to the Supervising Institute. More importantly, Dibao Institute now has countless eyes on the Dragon Tooth Army. There are only a few people in the Dragon Tooth Army. Can't hide it from others, if the number of Dragon Tooth Army reported by Huang Baimei is wrong, the Dibao Institute will have a reason to go crazy and reduce the elemental crystals of the Dragon Tooth Army...

These gossips, after all, are still caused by the word "poor". Although Leng Manxue doesn't know how many elemental crystals there are in the Dragon Emperor Temple, but look at what the Dragon Tooth Temple has done in the past two years. For this reason, even Leng Manxue knows that the inventory of elemental crystals in the Dragon Emperor Temple is probably running out. Otherwise, the elders at the beginning would not have to sell the Divine Wind Temple, and the current master Guan would not Will be so penny-pinching against the Dragon Tooth Army.

And once there is no elemental crystal, it is inevitable that the Dragon Emperor Temple will fall apart. Leng Manxue, who grew up in the Dragon Emperor Temple since she was a child, has a special feeling for the Dragon Emperor Temple. She never wants to see the Dragon Emperor Temple collapse. that day.

Others were very impatient and their eyebrows were burning, but to Leng Manxue's surprise, Zhang Tie didn't care about this matter at all, and Leng Manxue didn't know what Zhang Tie was planning.

"Report to the Chief Officer, Wa Palace Wu Qiankun is asking to see you outside the Forbidden City!"

Just as Leng Manxue was thinking about Huang Baimei in the Xilang Pavilion, and wondering how she could help Huang Baimei, Leng Manxue received a report from her subordinates that Wu Qiankun had come...

Could it be that he sent the devil to His Majesty again? It's just why it was so fast this time, Wu Qiankun came again within a month before the second time.

Leng Manxue knew that Zhang Tie was very fond of the magic generals brought by Wu Qiankun, and she was about to notify Zhang Tie, but before notifying, she asked another question carefully, "Did Wu Qiankun come alone or like the previous two people?" Take the accompanying god general and the big iron cabinet with you the same time?"

"Wu Qiankun came alone!"

"Oh!" Leng Manxue gave orders after thinking for a while, "Then let him in, take him to Xilang Pavilion..."

"yes!"

Leng Manxue waited less than ten minutes in Xilang Pavilion before seeing Wu Qiankun again.

Wu Qiankun did come alone this time, even though Wu Qiankun tried his best to look calm, Leng Manxue still felt a sense of impatience from Wu Qiankun.

After asking Wu Qiankun to sit down in the Xileng Pavilion and serving tea, Leng Manxue asked, "I don't know what Director Wu is talking about when he came to the Forbidden City this time?"

"Is Your Majesty here? I want to meet His Majesty!"
