Lion City is such an important place, and the Borneo Taoist Palace naturally has to station a deputy governor here. The size of the Taoist palace in Lion City is second only to the Sheji Palace, named Tianfu Palace. The one enshrined here is not the Taishang Taoist, but
The Queen of Heaven. The earliest Tianfu Palace was not very big. After Daomen came to Nanyang, it was expanded repeatedly. Now it has become a state-level palace, located in the central district of Lion City.
The deputy palace lord who is in charge of Tianfu Palace is named Xie Jiaofeng. He ranks fourth among the deputy palace lords of Borneo Taoist Palace, second only to Qi Xuansu, Xu Jiaorong and Wang Jiaoying. This is also reasonable, after all, the Lion City
The location is too important.
As for why Wang Jiaoying is not in charge of the Lion City, it is because Wang Jiaoying is the deputy palace lord of Dayu Kingdom. Although the master, the master, the chief deputy palace master, and the second deputy palace master are all in Shenglong of Dayu Kingdom
government, but their responsibility is to manage the entire Taoist government. Just like the cabinet is located in the imperial capital, it does not mean that the cabinet has to specifically manage the affairs of the imperial capital. Wang Jiaoying's position is similar to that of Shuntian Fuyin in the imperial court. It is very important and responsible for everything.
Regarding the specific affairs of Dayu Kingdom, it was Wang Jiaoying who personally took action in forcing the palace.
Wang Jiaoying is certainly responsible for what happened to Dayu Kingdom this time. But above him, there is also the real person in charge of the palace. The real person in charge of the palace is in trouble, especially when it comes to the defection of the chief deputy palace master. Strictly speaking, the chief deputy palace master
He is half the boss of the other seven ordinary deputy palace masters. This is Jinque. There is a problem at the Taoist government level. This responsibility is not something that a deputy palace master can bear.
It's like a general abandoning his city and land. You can't hold accountable the ordinary generals below for why they didn't supervise him well. Instead, you should hold accountable the person who recommended him to become a general. He has the ability to control the people who supervise him. In addition, Jinque intends to stabilize the situation.
He lives in the Wang family, so Wang Jiaoying was not dismissed from his post, but was also reprimanded and recorded a demerit.
Strictly speaking, Xie Jiaofeng is not a member of the Wang family, nor is he a member of Chen Shuhua. At least at the level of the Taoist government, he is not a member of either. He is just a grass on the wall, and he will be blown wherever the wind blows.
Which side to lean on? In the past, he was naturally on Wang Jiaohe's side. During the last Taoist government meeting, he saw that something was wrong, so he wisely remained independent.
But then again, he is not an ordinary person to occupy this key position in Lion City. He does not have a clear camp at the Taoist level, but if you look up, he is from the Xie family, a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. The Xie family is a Confucian sect.
The Taoist sect advocates the unification of the three sects. Just as the Cihang family was formerly a Buddhist sect, the Quanzhen Taoist Pei family can actually be considered a Confucian sect. In recent years, they have often married into Confucian families, so Xie Jiaofeng is actually a member of the Pei family.
People on that line.
Donghua Zhenren sent him to Borneo with the original intention of mixing sand. The situation in Borneo was complicated. In addition, Jinque had not made up his mind at that time, or had not formed a unified opinion. Therefore, Xie Jiaofeng had nothing to do and could only follow suit.
The wind is swaying, at most it is to ensure that you are not pulled into the water.

Xie Jiaofeng was also among those who greeted Qi Xuansu this time, but Qi Xuansu was not impressed by him. He did not have much bookishness or Taoist morale, but he had a lot of bureaucratic spirit.
Qi Xuansu will naturally stay at Tianfu Palace when he comes to the Lion City this time. There is quite a distance from Feizhou Port to Tianfu Palace. In order to welcome Qi Xuansu, the Nanting Protectorate conducted street cleaning. A long motorcade walked on the deserted street.
, Qi Xuansu's carriage was located in the middle of the motorcade, and there were only three people in the carriage, namely Qi Xuansu, Xiao Yin and Chen Jianqiu.
Qi Xuansu was looking through the relevant files, and Chen Jianchou was in charge of sorting out the files Qi Xuansu was going to read. Xiao Yin was bored and sat slumped in his seat, yawning several times and looking drowsy.
She really didn't know what was so interesting about those files filled with densely written words. She fell asleep after just one glance and fell asleep after just two glances.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Qi Xuansu, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head and asked, "What's going on?"
Chen Jianchou immediately stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
The sleepy Xiao Yin also became energetic and said, "I'll go too!"
Chen Jianchou refused without thinking, "You are responsible for the chief's safety."
Xiao Yin sat back again, pouting unhappy.
Chen Jianchou got off the carriage and quickly returned. He stood under the carriage and reported to Qi Xuansu, "Chief, let me ask clearly. Someone blocked the road and complained."
Qi Xuansu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you complaining about?"
Chen Jianqiu said, "I didn't ask deeply. It seems to be related to Nanyang United Trading Company. The husband of the person who complained was the accountant of Nanyang United Trading Company. He died suddenly some time ago. She felt that her husband was raped by Nanyang United Trading Company."
Someone was harmed, so I came to block the road and complain."
Qi Xuansu was startled.
Have all the good things come together? This time he came to the Lion City, nominally to continue his unfinished inspection trip, but in fact he came for the Nanyang United Trading Company. He and Zhang Yuelu were exposed and secretly together, and Zhang Yuelu could trade in the
Starting the slave trade, Qi Xuansu was a surprise force, and Qi Xuansu was responsible for the main attack. For example, he was responsible for things like checking accounts, which was justifiable.
Now as soon as he arrived in the Lion City, someone blocked the road and complained. It was like someone was taking him away when he wanted to sleep.
Pillow.
Qi Xuansu became interested, but now he is no longer the reckless and reckless young man in the past. He did not rush to see this unknown complainant, but instead ordered, "Take her with you. If you have any questions, go to Tianfu."
Let’s talk to the palace.”
Chen Jianchou took the order and left.
At this moment, a shrill and sharp sound bursting through the air suddenly sounded.
The next moment, the carriage Qi Xuansu was in was accurately hit by a flaming meteor that broke through the air. The entire carriage instantly turned into a huge fireball, rising like a mushroom.
Qi Xuansu in the carriage felt red and white lights filling his entire field of vision for a moment.
Chen Jianchou, who had just walked out not far, was blown away by the huge air wave and hit another carriage hard.
The entire convoy was in chaos. The men in black and the spiritual officers subconsciously formed a defensive formation, and several masters moved towards the direction of the flaming meteor.
Qin Hengjun and Xie Jiaofeng immediately rushed to Qi Xuansu's carriage.
Xie Jiaofeng's face turned pale. If Jinque's newly appointed chief deputy palace lord died in the Lion City, and died under his nose, then his career would have come to an end. This deputy palace lord
He could no longer keep his position. He could imagine how furious Donghua Zhenren must be.
Qin Hengjun's face didn't look good either, because he realized that the assassins used firearms for sneak attacks. Firearms of this size would basically not be spread outside and must be strictly controlled. So the source is nothing more than two places, one is Dao Sect, and the other is
One is the Daxuan court. If it is a firearm belonging to the Taoist sect, then it is easy to say that it is a fight among the Taoist sect. At most, he, an outsider, has neglected his duty. But if it is finally found that the firearm comes from the Nanting Protectorate, then
He couldn't imagine the consequences.
Just when the two were a little hesitant, the charred remains of the carriage moved, and then a small black shadow crawled out of it. Yes, it was a black shadow. It was completely black from head to toe, leaving only
A mouthful of white teeth.
The key point is that this little black figure seems to be fine. She shook the black ashes on her body, and then dragged out a person from the wreckage that still had a little bit of fire left.
It was Qi Xuansu.
Qin Hengjun and Xie Jiaofeng immediately rushed forward from the left and right.
Qi Xuansu was also disgraced, but he was pinned down by Xiao Yin at that time, so his face was not bad, and he did not look like Xiao Yin. Moreover, Qi Xuansu's physique was there, he was not a relegated immortal or a Qi practitioner, he mainly relied on "Qi"
"Support is not supported by Wu Zhu's divine power. This
Without the support of these realms, the physical strength of these inheritances will drop by several levels. Qi Xuansu has the physique of a martial artist. Even if his cultivation is damaged, at most the power of his fists and will will be weakened, and his physique will still be the same.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu's life is still safe.
As for Xiao Yin, this guy cannot be explained by ordinary theories. After eating dragon meat, certain changes occurred. It would not be surprising to be killed by an explosion or remain unscathed.
Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm fine. Where is the person who blocked the road to complain?"
By this time, Qi Xuansu had already realized that the so-called roadblock complaint was mostly a pretense, just to stop the convoy and attract attention. They were also sure that Qi Xuansu would ask people to ask what happened, so that they could
Identify Qi Xuansu's carriage.
The stopped convoy, the confirmed carriage, and the slight delay of the person blocking the road gave enough time to take aim.
One assassination was completed.
Qin Hengjun reacted quickly and stood up to call his adjutant over.
The adjutant came to Qin Hengjun immediately.
Qin Hengjun asked, "Where is the person who blocked the road to complain?"
The adjutant whispered, "It happened suddenly. She ran away and injured two of our brothers."
Qin Hengjun's face almost turned pale and he said nothing.
The adjutant was as silent as a cicada.
At this time, Qi Xuansu said, "Just run away. They came prepared. It is reasonable for us to be caught off guard. We should investigate this matter slowly."
While talking, Qi Xuansu did not forget to pat the black dust on Xiao Yin's body.
Qin Hengjun then said, "We have neglected our duties. After we return, I will immediately report it to the Imperial Guard to investigate the matter thoroughly."
In terms of position, Qin Hengjun is not inferior to Qi Xuansu, but such a thing happened under the nose of the Nanting Protectorate. Qin Hengjun cannot escape the blame, which is a natural fault, so he must give Qi Xuansu an explanation.
Xie Jiaofeng also hurriedly said, "Yes, we must investigate thoroughly. It's so heartbreaking."
Qi Xuansu was not actually angry. The reason why many people who were assassinated were angry was actually out of extreme fear, anger, and fear hovering on the line between life and death.
Qi Xuansu does not lack such experience, so he is not afraid and can control his emotions well.
Now, he had to reorganize his thoughts and shift his focus to this assassination incident.
