Today's Lion City port is very busy. Wang Danqing took Wang Jiaohe's flying boat to Lion City for one reason, and Li Tianzhen left Nanyang in embarrassment for another.
It is a coincidence that a young master from the Wang family and a young master from the Li family both had thoughts about Zhang Yuelu and regarded Qi Xuansu as their enemy. As a result, they both bowed their heads in front of Qi Xuansu.
This coming and going undoubtedly declared Qi Xuansu's absolute victory.
Furthermore, Taoist Sanxiu also left Lion City after the meeting and went straight to Shenglong Mansion.
Wang Danqing got off the flying boat and met Xie Jiaofeng through his previous relationship. In the past, he didn't pay much attention to Xie Jiaofeng. He felt that Xie Jiaofeng was just a submissive loser, and Xie Jiaofeng didn't dare to
Offend this prince. .??.??
It is said that the two of them had a conflict once, in Xie Jiaofeng's custody room. Xie Jiaofeng initially talked with Xie Jiaofeng, while Wang Danqing pointed at Xie Jiaofeng's nose and cursed. Originally, Xie Jiaofeng also
I just endured it, but Wang Danqing became more and more ruthless. People outside were all subordinates. If Wang Danqing was allowed to do his best, Xie Jiaofeng would not be able to gain a foothold in the future. There is no way, Xie Jiaofeng
He could only say a few words, but Wang Danqing was so angry that he walked away. Afterwards, Xie Jiaofeng was afraid of being retaliated by Wang Jiaohe, so he had to deliberately pretend to be ill, and cried to Master Donghua that he wanted to leave Nanyang.
Finally, under the intervention of Donghua Zhenren, the matter ended with Wang Jiaohe asking Wang Danqing to apologize symbolically. After that, the two did not have much interaction.
But now that we see Xie Jiaofeng again, it will really be thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Feng Shui is changing.
Xie Jiaofeng put on all his airs and left Wang Danqing alone for two hours. Then he showed up unhurriedly and said something like he was too busy to keep Prince Wang waiting.
Wang Danqing was extremely angry, but remembering his father's instructions, he could only bow his head under the eaves and suppress his anger in his heart.
After Wang Danqing explained his purpose of coming, Xie Jiaofeng deliberately made things difficult for him for a long time, saying that he didn't dare to get into trouble, it was really difficult to handle, Chief Qi was very busy, etc., forcing Wang Danqing to lower his posture and plead again and again, and then "
"embarrassed" means giving it a try.
Even after Qi Xuansu decided to meet Wang Danqing, Xie Jiaofeng still did not let Wang Danqing go, because Qi Xuansu had many things to deal with, and it was impossible to worry about meeting Wang Danqing all the time, so he just asked Xie Jiaofeng to arrange the time.
Feng then asked Wang Danqing to wait for another hour at the Taiping Inn.
In fact, Xie Jiaofeng was also a secretary, and being a secretary was much easier than being the deputy palace master. In terms of this method of manipulating people, Chen Jianqiu was far from comparable to him.
In the past, others were always waiting for Young Master Wang. How often did Wang Danqing wait for others? One can imagine the frustration and futility involved. The key point has yet to happen.
Wait until everyone is here
Xuan Su finally arrived belatedly. Wang Danqing wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.
However, Qi Xuansu did not put on airs and said proactively, "Brother Wang Dao, long time no see. How are you doing?"
At first glance, one might think that Qi Xuansu and Wang Danqing were old acquaintances, without any conflict or enmity.
Wang Danqing was about to speak, but Qi Xuansu didn't give him a chance, and instead said, "You may not know these guys, let me introduce them to you. Deputy Palace Master Xie, the local master, you should know. This is Chen Jianchou
, my secretary. As for this one, whose surname is Yin, her name is Yin Wanmiao. We usually call her Miss Little Yin or Taoist Fellow Little Yin. Don’t look at her as young, but she is a Taoist Priest of the Fourth Grade Liquor. This was signed by Master Qingwei personally.
."
Qi Xuansu introduced someone, and Wang Danqing stepped forward to salute and say a few polite words.
In fact, Xiao Yin insists on following her. It’s not that she can’t eat, but it’s useless to eat. She wants to eat a lot of flesh and blood like a martial artist. In fact, Xiao Yin doesn’t have much interest in people. She prefers dragons.
Beasts are such things that are so rich in blood that they can turn people into monsters.
But having said that, it is one thing to fill the stomach and grow the body, but it is another thing to satisfy the appetite. Xiao Yin still likes to eat delicious food. I heard that I want to go to Taiping Inn for a banquet to see the mountain beasts Yun Zhongyan and land cattle.
Sheep's seafood, hericium's head, bird's nest, shark's fin, bear's paw, scallops and deer tail tips appeared out of nowhere and she had to follow them.
Qi Xuansu couldn't resist Xiao Yin's coquettishness, so he had no choice but to agree.
Wang Danqing was a little frightened when he saw Xiao Yin.
He had already heard that Qi Xuansu was assassinated and it was this little girl who saved him. It is said that this little girl also captured Li Tianzhen.
This little girl is no ordinary person.
Finally, Qi Xuansu took the main seat, accompanied by Wang Danqing. Because this occasion was not suitable for outsiders, there was no role for waiters. When Chen Jianqiu was about to pour the wine, Xie Jiaofeng had already grabbed it and started to speak with dignity.
The Deputy Palace Master personally filled Qi Xuansu's wine glass. For those who didn't know, they thought Xie Jiaofeng was Qi Xuansu's secretary.
I have to say that Xie Jiaofeng is very good at serving others. Most people in the world think that women are the best at serving men. In fact, men are the best at serving men. After all, men understand men’s thoughts best, but ordinary men cannot let other men bow their heads willingly.
, there is no chance to enjoy this kind of treatment.
To get a woman to serve you, perhaps all you need is nice words. But to get a man to serve you, you need power and money.
Qi Xuansu vaguely remembered that Xie Jiaofeng also worked as a secretary for Donghua Master for several years? He was a little unsure, maybe he had to ask Yao Pei.
Xie Jiaofeng was very fond of Qi Xuansu.
In Xie Jiaofeng's view, although Yao Pei's mother's surname was Pei, and she was a disciple of Master Donghua, putting aside feelings, from a power perspective, Qi Xuansu was Donghua's preferred successor.
There is only one reason, Qi Xuansu's surname is not Yao. No matter how deep the relationship between Yao Pei and Donghua Zhenren is, it is not as deep as the relationship between her and the Earth Master. When mentioning Yao Pei, the first thing everyone thinks of is the Earth Master and the Yao family, and then
Only then can he be Master Donghua. Just like when Zhang Yuelu is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is the Celestial Master and the Zhang family, not Master Cihang.
To put it simply, the imprint of the Yao family on Yao Pei is too strong, making Donghua Zhenren like a transitional candidate between the Earth Master and Yao Pei, just like the former Heavenly Master Yan Feiqing with a different surname. But if Qi Xuansu inherited Donghua
The mantle of Zhenren, then Donghua Zhenren is in a line of its own. The subtle differences must be taken into consideration.
Judging from Donghua Zhenren's character, he may not be willing to be a transitional candidate.
In other words, the reason why Donghua Zhenren spared no effort to promote Qi Xuansu is not just Qiniang's. He has his own considerations. Not to mention that Qi Xuansu is also half a Yao family. The reason is the same. No matter how the relationship between Qi Xuansu and the Yao family is
Deeper than the relationship between Yao Pei and the Yao family.
In a sense, Qi Xuansu is the "eldest son" of Donghua Zhenren in terms of power. He was promoted by one hand, and he has a sense of getting a son from old age. The key is that Qi Xuansu is strong enough, can hold on, and has successors. Qi Jianyuan can be regarded as
The "eldest son", who was not capable enough and could not bear the heavy burden, was crushed to death. Yao Pei was the "step-son" who was born for nothing after marrying into a wife. He had a noble status and was called dad on the surface.
To put it bluntly, if Master Donghua wants to be an "emperor", he needs an "eldest son". If he just wants to be a "relative", then having a niece is enough.
Therefore, whether it is based on the interests of Zhenren Donghua or Qi Xuansu, replacing Yao Pei by Qi Xuansu is a good move. In other words, even if Qi Xuansu cannot replace Yao Pei, both sides must be pursued in parallel.
If Donghua Zhenren becomes the Grand Master, it is best for the people below not to be monolithic. If the people below are united, then the Grand Master is in danger of being sidelined. Two groups of people need to check and balance each other, with the Grand Master acting as the referee in the middle.
This can be supreme.
This is the meaning of dual-line parallelism.
It can be seen that not only is there a conflict between Master Qingwei and the Imperial Master, but there is also a conflict between Master Donghua and the Earth Master.
It's because the internal fighting among the three realms intensified and the three divisions were about to ascend, these conflicts were forcibly suppressed. If we really wanted to analyze it carefully, it would take three days and three nights to explain it all.
However, these minor contradictions gave Qi Xuansu room to move around. Qi Xuansu could temporarily turn enemies into friends with Li Changge, or he and Yao Pei could turn against each other in the future, and break up and get back together. This is something that no one can say for sure.
This is the reason why Xie Jiaofeng is very fond of Qi Xuansu. As a person on the line of Donghua Zhenren, of course he has to make a choice. Since he already has this relationship with Qi Xuansu, he can only choose Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu picked up the wine glass and said, "Speaking of which, Brother Wang Dao is still my nobleman. Not long after we last met at Ziweitang, I went to Fenglin Continent and luckily made some achievements, so I was sent to Borneo."
I serve as the second deputy head of the Taoist Palace, do you think it is the good luck brought to me by Brother Wang Dao?"
Xie Jiaofeng took the lead and nodded in agreement.
Wang Danqing smiled uglier than crying. If this was Qi Xuansu's good luck, it was his bad luck.
It really doesn’t mean that it would be the same for anyone. Let’s just say that Chen Shuhua’s test is not something that just anyone can pass. If it had been for another person, the situation in Borneo might not be what it is today.
Qi Xuansu then said, "So I want to toast Brother Wang Dao."
Wang Danqing didn't dare to answer, and said, "I don't dare, I want to respect Brother Qi. What happened in Ziweitang was my fault. Today I made a special trip to apologize to Brother Qi."
.”
Qi Xuansu put down the wine glass in his hand, "I said, Brother Wang Dao is my nobleman and lucky star. There is nothing I can't offend, and there is no need to apologize."
Beads of sweat broke out on Wang Danqing's head. He couldn't understand the hidden meaning of Qi Xuansu's words. He simply refused to accept his apology.
Xie Jiaofeng observed the words and immediately said, "Master Wang, you keep apologizing, but the result is a toast. Isn't it too insincere?"
Wang Danqing hurriedly said, "Where, where, my father asked me to prepare various gifts."
While he was talking, Wang Danqing had already taken out a Xumi object that looked like a jade box.
Qi Xuansu didn't even look at it, and said in a cold tone, "Master Wang, do you think I'm blackmailing you?"
"This, what did you say... I never meant this..." Wang Danqing's grief and anger could not be increased, but she still had to be careful.
Qi Xuansu said, "Then put the things away. I said there is no need to apologize or apologize."
