I'm not throwing it away, I just want to change to a smaller one...\" Zhao Ruide awkwardly retreated to the side, but he didn't throw the branch away after all, just secretly changed to a smaller one, and then stood outside with a stern face, waiting for Zhao Zheng to get up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing didn't go in either, standing outside the door and starting to catch Zhao Zheng's Sleepy Bugs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grasped the timing very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three times, Zhao Zheng woke up on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even though this guy couldn't sleep anymore, he was still rolling around on the bed and refused to get up, which made Zhao Xing laugh in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, you still have to take this beating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing kicked the door open and rushed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big brother, morning, ah, good morning.\" Zhao Zheng realized something was wrong when he saw his big brother kicking the door in; he must have gotten up late today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he raised his little face and showed an innocent smile, trying to awaken his brother's love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, his brother had no love, only cruelty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you promise father before?

Why are you casting Yin Wind on an ordinary person.\" Chen Shijie supported the woman, frowning at Zhao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I saw her sneaking around outside your mansion and thought she was someone bewitched by the Profound Heaven Sect.\" Zhao Xing explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is not.\" Chen Shijie stroked the woman's back, \"Let's go in and talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shijie waved his hand, and a storm suddenly rose around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the small alley and the mansion gate, a storm corridor was formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing was a bit surprised; he didn't know if Old Chen was showing off his skills or what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He always felt that Chen Shijie seemed a bit wrong today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he was covering up something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this be his lover?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was, there was no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn't it normal for him to have a lover? The atmosphere in the Great Zhou was open, and even if they were unmarried, there were many who had relationships with each other, so it shouldn't be a big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be a married woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it this way, it seemed reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing's look at Chen Shijie suddenly became a bit wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't expect you, Old Chen, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to play so fancy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now you're in trouble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you thinking? It's not what you think.\" After Chen Shijie brought the woman to the mansion and arranged for her to rest in the living room, he ran to the side hall to chat with Zhao Xing. \"Guiniang is unmarried and I am unmarried; it's not what you think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't say anything.\" Zhao Xing waved his hand, \"In my heart, you are definitely not that kind of image.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going to be transferred next year; I'm going to the army.\" Zhao Xing didn't intend to continue asking, but Chen Shijie took the initiative to say it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Transferred?\" Zhao Xing was stunned; he didn't expect Old Chen to leave so quickly, but thinking about it, it was true that it was a waste of talent for a Military Agricultural Official like Chen Shijie to stay in the rear as a civil servant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as there were no major mistakes, he would still have to be transferred back to the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that he didn't know if there were any hidden reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had some problems with standing in line before, which hadn't been resolved.\" Chen Shijie said indifferently, \"So my relationship with Guiniang had never been made public. Although it was resolved this time, other aspects encountered some accidents, so I agreed with her not to see each other for a short time. I didn't expect to be bumped into by you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're telling me this, not just to let me listen for nothing, right?\" Zhao Xing vaguely guessed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct.\" Chen Shijie nodded, \"I want you to go to the army with me. From the beginning, I planned it this way. It's a waste of time for you not to be a Military Agricultural Official. I can see that you have great ambitions. I originally planned to wait for you for a year or two, but now it seems that you are progressing rapidly, and your Yin Wind has already reached the Nine Turns realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come with me to join the army, Zhao Xing. A good man should fight in all directions. Don't tell me you like staying in the rear as a civil servant. Staying in such a comfortable place for a few years will ruin all your talent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shijie didn't treat Zhao Xing as a subordinate anymore; ever since Zhao Xing entered the ranks, he truly regarded Zhao Xing as a fellow traveler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he said now was entirely from the bottom of his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing pondered: \"This can be discussed later. Can you tell me first why you broke up with Guiniang when you are still half a year away from being transferred? What exactly is the accident you encountered?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shijie smiled: \"Look, this kind of vigilance and innate sharpness, I said you are suitable to be a Military Agricultural Official, you should go to see the Marquis with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing didn't say anything; although he felt Chen Shijie was quite to his taste, he couldn't just agree in a muddled way; Chen Shijie had to give him the bottom line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's the Profound Heaven Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Profound Heaven Sect? Zhao Xing was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shijie sat on the chair and said slowly: \"Since half a year ago, the Disaster-Avoiding Almanac I possess has issued warnings many times. In the past half year, there have been ten major disaster warnings and thirty-five minor disasters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't know the reason before, because as a Proper Ninth-Rank official, other people's Disaster-Avoiding Almanacs didn't have this prompt, only mine did. In addition, I couldn't analyze the reason. It wasn't until a while ago that officials and clerks in various parts of Nanyang Commandery were abducted, and I learned more inside information, that I understood why.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing asked: \"Didn't you tell the government officials before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shijie sneered: \"Did you forget that we are officials? It's just one or two omens; do you think we should ask a Seventh-Rank official to protect us? I couldn't estimate the reason, and it was only after many times that I decided to investigate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the third major disaster, I asked someone in the army to check the abnormalities in Pinghai Commandery in recent years, and roughly determined the root cause of the Profound Heaven Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After that, I reported my guess to the Commandery, but just as I said just now, can we send someone to protect us 24 hours a day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing asked: \"Can't we have a big search or something to find these demon people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shijie shook his head: \"You don't understand, the Profound Heaven Sect is not a small sect. The 72 Academies of the Great Zhou today were all affiliated after the policy of expelling sects was set during the Taizu period. The Profound Heaven Sect is among these academies, and it is also a top-tier existence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Its actions are extremely secretive. Even during the Taizu period, it could not be completely eradicated, only expelled. You say, can this be simple? Things that the founding monarch couldn't do, later generations are also difficult to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Profound Heaven Sect has continued for more than 2,000 years. A sect that hasn't been destroyed for more than 2,000 years and occasionally causes chaos in the world, is it something that Nanyang Commandery can find out in a short time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing thought for a while and said: \"That's the truth; there is only a thousand-day thief, not a thousand-day defense against thieves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shijie said slowly: \"Since that time, I knew that the Profound Heaven Sect might have targeted me. And on their list, I should still be a relatively important one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I don't see Guiniang anymore; I intend to deal with this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing was a bit surprised: \"You don't intend to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shijie nodded: \"Yes, I intend to risk myself, unite with the military to set up a trap, and lure the Profound Heaven Sect to take action against me. If I don't eliminate the demon nest in the Nanyang Commandery area, I won't be at ease even if I leave. These guys are insane; if they know about my relationship with Guiniang, I'm afraid it will implicate the innocent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing was stunned: \"Is this too risky?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shijie smiled: \"Once successful, I don't have to worry about Guiniang after I leave, Nanyang Commandery can continue to be safe and happy, and I can also get a credit to go to the army to take office. Three birds with one stone, this risk is worth it for me!\" \u003C\u002Fp>",3594,"2026-06-17T15:11:26.542Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c1e30a35a001cbe83d81d0fd09338c17cbfee60f93dc86a7a24ca64bb4d651b3","dao-lord-of-shennong-chapter-86","dao-lord-of-shennong-chapter-84",666,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshennong-dao-lord-cover.jpg"]
