Welcoming the Da Zhenren was essentially a Taoist errand. Yao Pei and Li Zhuyu could come or not. Zhang Yuelu, as a member of the Lingnan Taoist Government, simply did not come and stayed in Lion City to take charge of the situation.
Yao Pei happened to be in Shenglong Mansion and coincided with the meeting, so he came to greet Da Zhenren together. Li Zhuyu's main battlefield was in Lion City, so there was no need to make a special trip all the way. The same was true for the last time he met Jiang Da Zhenren in the Imperial Capital.
In this way, a group of young people happened to be in the Imperial Capital City, and even lived near the Penglai Pond, so they naturally went to greet them. If they were not in the Imperial Capital at that time, there was no need to specially run back.
Li Zhuyu is the acting deputy head of Beichen Hall. The reason why Beichen Hall is the third hall and Fengxian Hall is not is because in addition to internal affairs, Beichen Hall's main responsibilities include external covert operations, which Fengxian Hall does not do.
Possessable. As Buddhism weakens and loses its original momentum, who else from outside can be called the enemy of Taoism? Naturally it is the Holy Court.
Therefore, Beichen Hall has a lot of dealings with the Holy Court, no less than the Ancestral Hall.
Zhang Yuelu and Li Zhuyu were both born in Beichen Hall, but Zhang Yuelu changed his way to Tiangang Hall halfway. Now everyone in the Taoist sect basically thinks that Zhang Yuelu was born in Tiangang Hall, and almost never mentions Beichen Hall. Qi Xuansu agrees, he is from Tiangang Hall
He was born in Ziwei Hall, but he went to Ziwei Hall halfway, and now others also think that he is from Ziwei Hall. To put it bluntly, where he becomes the first deputy hall master is very important.
Li Zhuyu has always been rooted in Beichen Hall. In terms of business ability in this area, he is still very good, much better than Zhang Yuelu. After all, Zhang Yuelu only had internal contact when he was in Beichen Hall, and basically did not involve external aspects.
During the last riot, after Qi Xuansu declared martial law, the Nanting Protectorate arrested many people and imprisoned them in military camps. After these people were controlled, men in black sent people to register them individually and determine their identities.
.
According to Qi Xuansu's request, these thieves should be controlled and screened, and organizers, instigators, and those who caused major damage should be subject to surprise interrogations.
There are also differences. If you are a native of Borneo and are an accessory, you will only be restricted in the scope of your activities. You will not be able to leave the barracks. You will not be shackled and will be guarded by men in black. If you are a Westerner or a foreigner such as a West Borneo, you will be detained.
They were placed in a more tightly guarded place and interrogated strictly. The men in black who were responsible for guarding not only held fire cannons, but even set up rapid-fire thunder cannons.
Then, based on the results of the interrogation, the forces behind the scenes who have not been arrested will be arrested.
At the same time, the Nanting Protectorate sent men in black to control Lion City and various ports to prevent these people from escaping.
After Li Zhuyu came over, he mainly interacted with Qin Hengjun, which also made Qin Hengjun breathe a sigh of relief. He was really not good at these things, but he was just forced to do so due to pressure.
After working hard, now that the real expert is here, he can breathe a sigh of relief.
As the saying goes, the manpower brought by Li Zhuyu is not too many, but they are mainly responsible for sorting out clues and determining the target. When it comes to specific execution, these Taoist priests do not need to go into battle in person, and the men in black are responsible for it.
The organized men in black or spiritual officers fight collectively, which is much more powerful than ordinary Taoist priests fighting alone.
In any case, Nanyang has always been the territory of the Taoist sect. It is much easier to find outsiders on one's own territory than to find insiders on one's own territory, because there is me among you and you among me. This is where everything goes wrong in the world.
Therefore, Li Zhuyu's progress was faster than Yao Pei's, and she quickly locked in on the first target.
According to the interrogation results and some other clues, a group of Western businessmen are highly suspicious. However, they have never entered the Lion City, or even entered the port. Instead, they are floating on the sea outside the city. If things go wrong, they can easily turn around and run away.
.
In order not to alert the enemy, Li Zhuyu did not use the armored ship of the Nanting Protectorate, but borrowed a flying boat from Zhang Yuelu. The two had worked together in Beichen Hall, and they had some close friendship. Now they were colluding. Zhang Yuelu had no reason to do so.
No. Strictly speaking, it was Li Zhuyu who borrowed a flying boat from Xie Jiaofeng, and Zhang Yuelu's suggestion was to borrow it.
Li Zhuyu planned to give these Westerners a magical weapon from heaven.
Because Westerners entered Nanyang under the pretext of doing business, they could only bring sea ships, and it was impossible to sail flying boats to Nanyang.
Before that, Li Zhuyu had been observing for a long time.
This is a ship from Ibia. Although not long ago, there were many disputes between the Kingdom of Rune, the Kingdom of Ibia, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, resulting in an unstable situation in West Borneo, but in the end, under the control of the Holy Court,
Under pressure, the disputes between the three companies were temporarily shelved, the status quo was maintained, and they were unanimously disclosed to the outside world.
If the Holy Court wants to punch, he should clench his five fingers into a fist.
The reason why Dao Sect is on the defensive on certain fronts is not that Dao Sect is weaker, but because Dao Sect has suffered from serious internal strife in recent years.
This kind of internal strife is not only overt and covert fighting such as the Jiangnan case, but also the war in the Western Regions and the Fenglinzhou War. In the final analysis, this is a kind of competition. You conquered the Western Regions yesterday, and I conquered Fenglinzhou with a backhand today.
In Linzhou, no one is weaker than the other. In fact, these two battles are not necessary. At least they don’t have to be fought so urgently or continuously.
.But the two princes and the forces behind them had to fight now in order to accumulate enough capital for the fight for the Grand Master. After the dust has settled on the candidate for the Grand Master, there will be no such big meaning in fighting again.
With the Taoist sects fighting on their own to a certain extent, the Holy Court has naturally made considerable progress in other aspects.
Under the command of Li Zhuyu, the borrowed "Huang Chi" took off like a normal cargo ship, preparing to go to Thang Long. Just as it passed over the Western-style ship, the huge cabin used for unloading "Huang Chi"
The door was opened, and the spirit officers jumped out one by one. They quickly descended with the short-term flight ability brought by the spirit officer armor.
This scene is not surprising. Daomen used this kind of method when they attacked Kobe City. They parachuted directly into the city, bypassed the city wall, and attacked both inside and outside.
At the same time, many Western soldiers also appeared on the deck. Because they had to disguise themselves as businessmen, they could not wear armor, but they all held firearms in their hands.
Different from the firearms of the Central Plains, the firearms of the Westerners have obviously developed in another direction. Many people carry something like a backpack on their backs, which is square and square. There are thin tubes on the backpack connected to the long guns in their hands. In this way,
What Westerners fire is not projectiles, but a shock wave, which is as sharp as a sword. Depending on the backpack, there are also long guns that can continuously spit out thunder, fire, and ice to suppress the enemy.
All of a sudden, the Western soldiers on the ship opened fire one after another, like a Taoist battle, with all kinds of splendor stirring.
The spirit officers are still equipped with firecrackers based on talisman projectiles. They do not have such beautiful light and shadow effects. They have stronger penetrating power and explosive damage. As long as they hit the vital point, they are basically "dead".
In terms of weapons alone, both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages. The Lingguan is better because he wears armor and has a shield. He can even fight against all kinds of fancy ice, fire, thunder and lightning. The Westerners lack the necessary armor and dare not resist.
, but it occupies the terrain advantage of the ship and has partial bunkers.
But this is Nanyang's home field after all. After Lingguan boarded the ship, the men in black also took action. An ironclad ship that had been prepared for a long time rushed out diagonally and directly hit the side string of the Western ship.
People in black jumped onto the deck one after another.
The situation gradually became chaotic, and fire guns were no longer of much use. Both sides pulled out their sabers or hand guns and started a close battle.
At this moment, a burly Western officer walked out of the captain's cabin of the Western ship. He wore a three-cornered hat, a beard, and a pipe in his mouth, blowing out smoke like a chimney. He was somewhat similar to the pirate captain in many people's minds.
, blind, broken hand, broken
Legs, but he did not use eye patches, iron hooks, or prosthetic legs. His blind eyes were replaced with prosthetic eyes made of gemstones, and his broken arms and legs were equipped with prosthetic limbs. The whole body shone with a metallic luster, and was connected with fine metal pipes.
The real meridians of the body are connected.
There are no talismans in the West, but there is alchemy.
The world is developing, and Western warlocks are no longer the ancient figures who only hold staffs and recite incantations. The "alchemical arcana" they have developed is no less than the creation of Taoism.
In the concept of Western warlocks, alchemy and arcana are two incompatible things. Both the basic theory and the superstructure are two completely different systems. However, later a great sage discovered that the two can be
It was integrated in the human body and reached a certain balance, so the "alchemy arcana" came into being and developed rapidly, and was directly controlled by the Arcane Council.
The transformation on this person came from the "alchemy arcana" of the Arcane Council.
What if more than 200 years ago, Xuansheng had not integrated the Taoist sects, nor had he defied all opinions to start the creation project based on the legacy left by his predecessors, but had stuck to his own selves and continued to despise firearms and creations like Confucianism, treating them as strange skills and ingenuity.
, even though there are various methods spread, but the practice all depends on the individual, not only depends on the qualifications, but also takes time, so facing the West today, I really can’t imagine what the situation will be like.
After this person appeared, he quickly reversed the situation.
Through the tyrannical power given by the "Alchemy Arcana", he is almost comparable to a celestial being. Even his body without a prosthetic body has been specially strengthened by some kind of alchemy. He has supernatural powers derived from flesh and blood, and he is rampaging like a celestial warrior.
Ordinary spiritual officials are no match for him.
Just when Li Zhuyu was about to take action personally, another man in black burst into the battlefield. It was Qin Hengjun, the Deputy Protector of the Nanting Protectorate. He did not hold a firecracker, but a dark spear.
This is also the most common weapon in the military. Swords are spoken of in the arena, and swords and guns are spoken of in the battlefield.
Qin Hengjun went straight to the Western Captain. The captain also saw how terrifying Qin Hengjun was, and instead of using his bare hands, he drew his own sword.
Knives and guns clashed. Qin Hengjun shook the spear in his hand. First, the barrel of the spear was bent like a half moon, and then he flicked upward, knocking the long knife out of the captain's hand. At the same time, the tip of the spear was like a snake spitting messages, and it continued to castrate.
, pierced the side of the captain's neck who was unable to dodge, and pulled out his spear, only to see a big blood hole, but there was no blood flowing, but billowing white steam spewed out from it.
The captain seemed to be fine. Through the wounds, various metal pipes, rotating gears, and ups and downs of pistons could be vaguely seen inside his body.
