These spiritual officers stationed at Shenglong Palace are not stupid. The second deputy palace master is walking at the front. Without orders from above, who dares to take action?
If someone really takes action and is held accountable afterwards, will the person who did it take the blame? Or will the person above take the blame?
This is a very simple truth.
At this time, let alone that there is no order from above, even if there is an order, it must be a clear warrant, not just a password.
When you really want to hold someone accountable, take out the warrant and say that you are following orders from above and will not be held accountable for public crimes. Otherwise, you will be used as a scapegoat for others.
Since there was no order from above, then a fool would stop the second deputy palace master. But it was just because the second deputy palace master took a step forward that they would take a step back.
Those who are qualified to give orders do not want to take responsibility, and those who execute orders do not want to take responsibility either. The result is that there are no orders and no action.
As for Qi Xuansu, why didn't he need to issue any order?
Because he was at the forefront of the spiritual officials, he personally led the spiritual officials into Shenglong Mansion, and he participated in it personally instead of hiding behind the scenes. Naturally, it didn't matter whether he had a warrant or not.
If Wang Jiaohe or Chen Shuhua appeared here at this time, ordered the spiritual officials to stop Qi Xuansu, and personally participated in it instead of hiding behind the scenes, then these spiritual officials would not retreat again and again.
It's a pity that Qi Xuansu arrived too suddenly and caught the two of them off guard. They were still considering the pros and cons, but Qi Xuansu had already approached the inner city.
In addition, the "Yinglong" hanging high in the sky is also one of the reasons. It is still very stressful to fight against your own "Yinglong" with your own family.
When Qi Xuansu came to the inner city, the situation was irreversible.
Of course, Qi Xuansu also took great risks with this move. If he was not careful, his future would be stopped. The reason why Wang Jiaohe and others were caught off guard by Qi Xuansu was because they underestimated Qi Xuansu's decisiveness.
With Wang Jiaohe's sophisticated calculations, he would not have expected Qi Xuansu to return to the Taoist government to stabilize the situation. However, when he thought about it, Qi Xuansu, a young boy, suddenly learned of such changes, even if he did not panic, he still had to weigh the pros and cons.
If you try to integrate the two spiritual officers again, you may still be indecisive and lose your footing, making it impossible to rush back in such a short period of time.
He had miscalculated. Qi Xuansu was not one of those noble gentlemen who came from a comfortable place, but a reckless person who had been on the line between life and death. The most important thing he lacked was decisiveness.
As for the integration of the two spiritual officers, not to mention the trust of Master Lan Da and the support of Xu Jiaorong, Qi Xuansu's decisiveness will make the two spiritual officers willing to believe in him. He appears confident because of his determination, and appears strong because of his confidence.
Strength is not a strength in realm and cultivation, but a kind of inner and spiritual strength.
Divine power. Power brings a sense of security, and a sense of security brings conviction.
On the contrary, if Qi Xuansu is hesitant and timid, the two spiritual officials will not trust him and will appear weak because of his hesitation.
More importantly, Qi Xuansu's decision was not a reckless move, but a thorough understanding of the importance of military strength and speed. It coincided with the ideas of the two spiritual officers, so the two spiritual officers naturally had to fully support Qi Xuansu.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu did not have to communicate and negotiate with the two spiritual officials as Wang Jiaohe expected, but quickly reached an agreement and rushed back to Shenglong Mansion as soon as possible.
At this time, Qi Xuansu stood still and said loudly, "Following the order of Master Lan, Lingguan Ding Chou will temporarily take over the defense of the city and the entire city will be under martial law."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed.
A third-grade spiritual officer hesitated and said, "May I ask the second deputy palace master, what is the reason?"
Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "The reason is naturally that there is a secret association in the city that is plotting evil."
The spiritual officer was stunned, "May I ask the second deputy palace master, if you have the warrant from Master Lan Da?"
Qi Xuansu suppressed his smile, "The first-grade spiritual officer is the same as the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest. Master Landa asked the first-grade spiritual officer to take over the defense, and asked me, the second deputy palace master, to announce the order on his behalf. How dare you question me?"
This statement makes no sense, but now is not the time to be reasonable.
This third-grade spiritual officer was suffocated by Qi Xuansu's momentum and was speechless.
Qi Xuansu paused slightly and ordered, "Anyone who disobeys orders will be captured immediately!"
The five hundred spirit officials behind him responded with a bang.
The earthquake caused dust to fall from the city gate.
On the other hand, the other spiritual officers were completely shocked and stood there without making any move.
If Qi Xuansu hadn't come, Ding Chou would be able to forcefully take over the city's defense with his status as a first-class spiritual officer. These spiritual officers would also be powerless in front of her. The key is that she would be in a very difficult position against Wang Jiaohe and others.
This has little to do with realm cultivation, but has a lot to do with status and position, because it is an iron law of Taoism that Taoist priests control spiritual officials. Once Master Lan Da cannot come forward, then Wang Jiaohe, the real person in charge, will be respected.
A first-grade spiritual officer will be unusually passive.
So Qi Xuansu had to come. Since he came, Qi Xuansu would also take over the defense matter. On the contrary, Lingguan Ding Chou did not speak, but stood beside Qi Xuansu like a guard. She did not go up until Qi Xuansu gave the order.
Point forward
A few names were named, all in key positions, and they began to take over the defense here.
Until then, Chen Shuhua arrived belatedly.
Qi Xuansu directly faced Chen Shuhua.
The second seat versus the first seat.
The two titles "Second Seat" and "Chief" are not subjects, but prefixed attributives. The subject is actually the omitted deputy palace master. Under the Taoist sect's system, both of them are one head lower than the real master, and they are both deputy masters.
Palace Master, but there is no clear distinction between the two. At most, there is a difference in ranking.
Qi Xuansu bowed and said, "Chief Chen also knows?"
Chen Shuhua returned the gift and looked directly at Qi Xuansu, "What do I know? Qi Cixi, what are you going to do? Are you going to rebel?"
What a big hat was slapped down, but Qi Xuansu didn't take it seriously and said, "I told you, on the order of Master Landa, I took over the defense and put the whole city under martial law. The reason is that there is a secret association to cause chaos."
Chen Shuhua smiled coldly, "Where is the warrant? Others are not qualified to question you, but I am qualified to take a look at the warrant, right?"
Qi Xuansu said calmly, "The incident happened suddenly. Master Lan Da just gave the order. The specific warrant will be made up later."
Chen Shuhua immediately grasped this point and said, "Password? How can such a big thing be trivial!"
Qi Xuansu said, "Is Chief Chen afraid that I will rebel and seize the throne? Not to mention the real person in charge and the real person in charge, there is also Jin Que. This position was appointed by Jin Que. It can't be taken away. Who dares to snatch it away?"
Anyone who has a wrong idea will face Jin Que's wrath. As for whether this password is true or false, he will know it immediately when the master of Landa comes out of seclusion. Could it be that Chief Chen can't even wait for a few days?
Who is the impatient one?"
"Qi Tianyuan!" Chen Shuhua was made very angry by Qi Xuansu's words, "You should know that no one will end well if you falsely pass on orders, fight against the Taoist government, and fight against the Taoist sect!"
Qi Xuansu said calmly, "Chief Chen, you should also know that secretly colluding with a secret society to murder the real person in charge is tantamount to rebellion, and it will not end well!"
Chen Shuhua suppressed his anger: "Who do you think is colluding with the secret society?"
Qi Xuan Su Dao "Strictly speaking, he colluded with the Lingshan Witch Cult and the Zhiming Cult, which are the most vicious and evil among the many secret societies. Being associated with them is not to fight against the Taoist sect, but to subvert the Taoist sect. As for who it is.
If there is collusion between the Zhiming Cult and the Lingshan Witch Cult, then only the parties concerned will know it."
Chen Shuhua wanted to take down Qi Xuansu, a junior with his own level of cultivation, but Ding Chou Lingguan was right next to him and did not dare to act rashly. But if Qi Xuansu was in Chen Shuhua's place,
In Shuhua's position, he had to take a risk. After all, Qi Xuansu came from a rough and shabby background, while Chen Shuhua was the princess of Dayu Kingdom, with a wealth of wealth. Naturally, their methods of doing things were very different.
Chen Shuhua didn't speak for a while, but Qi Xuansu took the initiative to attack. "As I said just now, the reason why Landa Zhenren asked Ding Chou Lingguan to take over the defense and put the whole city under martial law was because secret associations were causing trouble. The reason why he asked me to leave from Old Port again
The Xuanwei Division has brought three thousand spiritual officials because there are people in our Taoist government who have cooperated with the secret society, not only to assassinate the real master of Lan Da, but also to overthrow the Borneo Taoist government!"
As soon as these words came out, it was no less than a thunder.
Everyone was so shocked that they looked at each other.
Chen Shuhua's face turned pale. "What do you mean by this?"
Qi Xuansu said coldly, "That's what it means literally."
Chen Shuhua stared at Qi Xuansu, almost gritting his teeth and said, "Qi Tianyuan, even if you are the second deputy palace master, if you fabricate things for no reason and frame others, it is enough to have you dismissed from office and thrown into jail!"
Qi Xuansu and Chen Shuhua looked at each other, "Don't you want to know why Da Zhenren is in seclusion? I can tell you right now that Da Zhenren was ambushed by a secret society and suffered some injuries. He is currently recovering from his injuries and will be released from seclusion in a few days.
. Thang Long Palace is the center of the Taoist government in Borneo, and the head master is the leader of the Taoist government. As a result, our leader was ambushed at the door of his house. Would it be reasonable to say that there was no insider to help him? Did I make this up?
"
Having said this, Qi Xuansu stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, "I am the deputy hall master from Ziwei Hall. I have never had any contact with the Lingguan Mansion. I have been in Nanyang for less than half a month. Without the order of Da Zhenren, the two of them are directly under the leadership of the head master."
Why should a real first-grade spiritual officer listen to me? Even if I have the skills of an ancient strategist, I can only persuade one spiritual officer. How can I persuade two spiritual officers at the same time?"
The two first-grade spiritual officers gave Qi Xuansu the confidence to speak at this time.
Chen Shuhua's eyes flashed, and he was already a little confused about how to answer. He was even confused about whether Qi Xuansu's words were true or false. It was true that Master Landa was injured, but to what extent he was injured was hard to say.
After a while, Chen Shuhua said slowly, "If there is someone in the Taoist government who is secretly communicating with the secret society, we should investigate and deal with it immediately. But how to investigate and deal with it, there must be a charter, and the affairs must be discussed by the Taoist government, not just one person who has the final say."
"
In the affairs of the Taoist government, without Qi Xuansu's master Lan Da, they had the absolute upper hand, and Qi Xuansu was no match at all.
Naturally, Qi Xuansu would not follow their routine, "I don't think it's appropriate to have to go through the Taoist government to discuss matters even though I know there is a mole at the top of the government."
