Gongsun Haoyue watched Xingyue disappear before her eyes and sighed, "Husband, is Xingyue in danger?"
Jiang Liu held Gongsun Haoyue's small hand and comforted her, "If she reports the situation promptly after discovering it, there won't be any danger."
Gongsun Haoyue nodded, clearly agreeing with Jiang Liu's statement.
Jiang Liu looked at Gongsun Haoyue, who was clearly much more kind and gentle than before, and sighed inwardly. Do women all change so much after marriage?
In fact, Jiang Liu was right. If Xingyue had reported the situation immediately upon discovering it, there should have been no danger.
The reason Jiang Liu stopped Lin Chi from continuing the surveillance was clearly because those people had already discovered that Lin Chi was monitoring them.
That's why Jiang Liu wanted to change the person to continue the surveillance, in order to uncover more people behind the scenes.
As for capturing those people now, we'll interrogate them.
Firstly, they were afraid of alerting the enemy; secondly, they were afraid that those people were already prepared and ready to self-destruct their Divine Sense sea.
Therefore, Jiang Liu felt that it would be better to change the person monitoring them.
That's how we ensured we could find the people behind them, and even their hideout.
Actually, it would be most appropriate to send people from the King Chujiang Hall to do these things.
However, the people from the King Chujiang Hall have not yet arrived, so the people from the Wind Hall can only fill in.
Besides, they still need to go out to sea to deal with the people of the Fifth Judge Palace.
For a moment, Jiang Liu felt as if he was in two places at once.
One can only lament that the martial arts world is now dwindling.
Jiang Liu composed himself, closed the door, and rested with Gongsun Haoyue.
Although this teleportation array consumed relatively little mental energy, it was still quite tiring, and I needed to rest and recover.
The next morning, after a night's rest, Jiang Liu, who was in much better spirits, took Gongsun Haoyue out of the guest room.
After having breakfast in the lobby, the two headed to the City Lord's Mansion.
Jiang Liu planned to visit the City Lord's Mansion to learn about what had happened during this period and see if there were any urgent matters that needed to be addressed.
When Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Liu He Qian and Dong Cheng Gongsun Haoyue already waiting for them at the door.
It's estimated that as soon as Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue left the inn, someone brought the news over.
Upon seeing Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue, He Qian and Dong Cheng immediately bowed together.
Jiang Liu waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities. He Qian, bring me the recent reports from the Hall of Governmental Affairs."
After saying that, Jiang Liu took the lead and walked into the City Lord's Mansion.
Gongsun Haoyue, He Qian, and Dong Cheng quickly followed.
Before entering the hall, He Qian instructed the guards to bring her the recent news reports from the Hall of Governmental Affairs.
The "Xingbao" was a report that the Hall of Governmental Affairs would periodically compile and transmit from various parts of the country to all regions.
As everyone took their seats in the hall, tea was served and then the travel report was brought out.
Jiang Liu picked up the newsletter and started reading. After a while, he didn't see any major events happening recently; they were mostly minor skirmishes between various local forces.
Jiang Liu then ignored it and asked Dong Cheng beside him, "Has anything unusual happened in this Shan County recently?"
Jiang Liu was afraid that once the news of Blood Attraction Flower spread, someone would have designs on Medicine King Valley.
The Medicine King Valley has just moved here, so we need to be extra careful.
Dong Cheng quickly stood up and replied, "Reporting to the Holy Lord, we have not found anything unusual for the time being."
Jiang Liu nodded and said, "Send more people and keep a close eye on things."
"Yes," Dong Cheng replied, bowing.
Dong Cheng was formed when the Ministry of Surveillance was established. They recruited martial artists from the Mountain City through the Jianghu.
After rigorous examination by the Hall of Governmental Affairs, he was finally appointed to be in charge of the Supervisory Bureau of the Shan County.
Now, thanks to Jiang Liu's series of reforms, a strict hierarchical system has been established under the entire Hall of Governmental Affairs.
First, the entire realm was no longer divided into upper, middle, and lower states. Departments were established, taking the Ministry of Surveillance as an example. The central government set up a ministry, each state and prefecture set up an office, each county and prefecture set up a bureau, and each city set up an office, to manage the power of the entire realm.
Moreover, and most importantly, the promotion of officials in various departments will no longer be based solely on merit.
Many other factors will also be taken into consideration.
In this way, those from smaller factions who aspire to serve in the imperial court will feel that they have a way out and hope for the future.
It was not always under the control of the Star Cloud Saint Sect, which made people feel hopeless and caused resentment to grow over time.
This is also one of the methods Jiang Liu used to ease the conflict between the major and minor powers.
Most importantly, when it comes to intelligence work, local martial artists with weaker skills are actually more suitable than powerful outsiders.
As for whether things will get out of control, the hidden Wind Hall isn't someone to be trifled with.
Moreover, Jiang Liu is currently vigorously developing the Dark Star Hall's influence, which adds another layer of protection.
This is one of the main reasons why the world seems calm and peaceful for the time being.
Next, Jiang Liu will gradually involve local forces in the management of some less important departments or smaller cities.
Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue rested in the Mountain City for a few days before setting off again for Qian Prefecture.
Several days ago, Jiang Liu had already conveyed his request to the Hall of Governmental Affairs through the Shan County Supervisory Bureau.
They were instructed to send people ahead of time to clear the area around the Silent Valley, awaiting the arrival of the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation.
After all, if nothing else happens, the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation will remain there indefinitely.
Jiang Liu led Gongsun Haoyue, Fire-Winged Monkey, and Sea Turtle into the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation.
After a long time inside the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation, Jiang Liu, looking exhausted, finally appeared outside the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation with Gongsun Haoyue, the Fire-Winged Monkey, and the Sea Turtle.
When they came out, they saw Flowing Cloud Matriarch standing alone in mid-air, looking around the Silent Valley.
At the same time, Flowing Cloud Matriarch also discovered Jiang Liu and the others.
When he saw Jiang Liu's exhausted expression, he glanced at Gongsun Haoyue with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
"Sect Master, what brings you here?" Jiang Liu asked.
"What? Did I disturb you two?" Flowing Cloud Matriarch teased Gongsun Haoyue, who was standing to the side.
"Liu Yun, do you want to fight me?" Gongsun Haoyue saw Flowing Cloud Matriarch teasing Jiang Liu and immediately switched to her husband-protecting mode.
"Oh my! It's really different having Husband; she's even protecting men now." Flowing Cloud Matriarch wasn't intimidated by Gongsun Haoyue and immediately retorted.
"Stop, stop, stop arguing." Jiang Liu was afraid that if they continued arguing, they would soon start fighting, so he quickly stopped them.
Fortunately, the two women still gave Jiang Liu face and stopped immediately. However, it's uncertain whether they would spar with each other behind Jiang Liu.
"I heard you brought back a treasure this time?" Flowing Cloud Matriarch asked, looking at Jiang Liu.
"That's right, don't you even know who this is?" Before Jiang Liu could answer, Gongsun Haoyue had already started showing off.
She had no choice; she just wanted to show off in front of Flowing Cloud Matriarch.
After all, when Flowing Cloud Matriarch proposed the marriage alliance, he teased her quite a bit.
Now that Gongsun Haoyue has seized the opportunity, she will definitely show off in front of Flowing Cloud Matriarch to prove that her decision was right.
