No matter how many tactics you use, you still have to rely on force as support in the end.
Shortly after Jiang Daren left Shenglong Mansion, Qi Xuansu also left Shenglong Mansion, leaving only Xu Jiaorong to look after the house.
In fact, Qi Xuansu had already dispatched all the manpower he could mobilize before setting off, including Lin Yuanmiao and the Taoist Sanxiu.
Strictly speaking, we should not say dispatch, because there is no clear subordinate relationship between the two parties. It should be called cooperation.
The Taoist Sanxiu traveled all the way to Borneo to help Qi Xuansu, and Zhang Yuelu could be said to be a friend, but the other two were not so simple, and they had to share some of the credit.
Don't think that Qi Xuansu has been taken advantage of. In fact, it is a matter of mutual benefit. With Qi Xuansu's strength alone, he cannot say that he is sure of success against the two pseudo-immortals. On the contrary, if he pulls Li Changge and Yao Pei, it will affect the power behind them.
Moreover, the strength of these two people cannot be underestimated, and they are a great help.
Since people have put in the effort, of course they should be given credit. Sometimes, appropriately apportioning some of the credit can unite more people and reduce one's own resistance.
Last time in Fenglinzhou, Li Changge and Yao Pei were unable to participate in the whole battle due to other reasons, leaving Qi Xuansu in the limelight. Qi Xuansu gave part of the credit to Zhang Yuelu out of emotional considerations and to obtain the semi-immortal object, and the result was that they discussed matters in Jinque.
At that time, both Zhengyiyi and Quanzhen Taoists were on his side, and only Taiping Taoism opposed it. Needless to say, Quanzhen Taoism supported his family, but Zhengyiyi supported Qi Xuansu in a way that seemed to reciprocate the favor.
Although Qi Xuansu is a member of Quanzhen Taoism, he does not have a deep concept of the three ways. He is somewhat similar to someone from the Grand Master's lineage, with a relatively neutral attitude. As his status becomes higher and higher, he increasingly feels that "
The word "unity" has profound meaning.
There are both positive and negative meanings.
Although the three Taoist figures from the Taoist sect arrived, the dragons were left without a leader. Qi Xuansu stayed in Shenglong Mansion to see Jiang Dazhen off, and Zhang Yuelu was the leader in Wu'an Mansion. In a practical sense, Lin Yuanmiao and Xiao Yin only listened to Zhang Yuelu.
I won't listen to Yao Pei and Li Changge. According to the Taoist rules, Zhang Yuelu is the highest grade, and his job grade is also the grade. Xiao Yin is only a fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest, but Lin Yuanmiao has the status of a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest given by the Tianshi.
, comparable to Zhang Yuelu, but his position is only assistant manager and cannot be compared with the second deputy palace master.
Qi Xuansu has handed over the pages of "Xirui Jing" to Lin Yuanmiao. At the critical moment, Lin Yuanmiao can reproduce part of the style of Lin Lingsu, the great master of the Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu is relatively reassured. If there is any emergency, Lin Yuanmiao will block one, and the three Taoists will work together to resist one or two, so that they will not be unable to fight back.
Qi Xuansu boarded the flying boat and Chen
Jian Chou has been following him, along with some spiritual officials.
However, Qi Xuansu still left several second-grade spiritual officers in Shenglong Mansion to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the emptiness of Shenglong Mansion to do anything.
The flying boat slowly lifted into the sky.
Wu'an Mansion is only a few hundred miles away from Shenglong Mansion, and it can be reached in an instant.
In this extremely short leisure time, Qi Xuansu did not plan anything or think about anything.
Everything that needs to be planned has been planned, and all that's left is for my subordinates to see the truth.
Qi Xuansu casually opened a volume of stories that Chen Jianchou bought for him.
It is a storybook written by an old acquaintance, Mo Qingdi.
After all, he was an old classmate. Qi Xuansu did not forget to support Mo Qingdi and bought a few volumes. Whether or not he would read it would be another matter - Qi Xuansu was too busy and did not have so much free time.
After reading only a few pages, Qi Xuansu couldn't stand it anymore.
Chen Jianchou was sitting next to Qi Xuansu and couldn't help but ask, "Chief, isn't this book good?"
Qi Xuansu did not answer directly, but asked, "Have you seen it?"
"I have seen it." Chen Jianqiu replied. As a secretary, it is not enough for him to just know his boss's preferences. He also needs to know his boss's preferences. How to know? One way is to read the books that his boss likes to read.
Qi Xuansu asked again, "What do you think?"
Chen Jianqiu considered his words and said, "It's okay. Does the chief feel bad?"
Qi Xuansu closed the book in his hand, "These books all come from a set. It's just an ordinary boy. Suddenly he has an adventure, or an old man with a white beard, or a divine object descended from the sky, and then he soars into the sky. That boy always
I have to offend several young masters, from aristocratic families. Either their father is the head of the Qingxiang clan, or they have an ancestor who has become an immortal or a Buddha. After all, these people are people who have seen the world, but they want to bet with this mud-legged boy.
In one fell swoop, he didn’t care about his family business and had no ambition. A young master is not a young master, a talent is not a talent, and an immortal is not an immortal. He is no different from a local scoundrel. No matter what the clan leader or emperor is, they are just fighting and ruthless people.
That’s all.”
Chen Jianchou said cautiously, "Is there something wrong?"
Qi Xuansu asked, "Is Lao Mo mocking me?"
"How come?" Chen Jianqiu laughed dryly, "If the chief is unhappy, I will go and say hello to Qingping Bookstore?"
Qi Xuan Subao
"I just said it casually, I'm sorry he didn't dare," said Shou.
When the flying boat landed, Zhang Yuelu did not come to greet it. Firstly, there was no need for such a big pomp, and secondly, they had to closely monitor Wang Jiaohe and others.
But there was still someone waiting here. Someone who was beyond Qi Xuansu's expectations.
Du Fuzhou.
Speaking of Du Fuzhou, Qi Xuansu is no stranger. The grandson of the previous governor, Da Zhenren, his mother is Du Yuhua, and his Taoist companion is Sun Yaozhen.
In fact, no matter how you look at it, it should be an alliance between the three families of Wang, Sun, and Du. I don’t know whether it is Du Yuhua’s scheming or Du Fuzhou’s lack of desire. After some investigation, Sun Yaozhen, Wang Jiaoyan, and Wang Jiao
Ying was arrested, Wang Danqing was placed under house arrest, Sun Jiaofeng died, Sun Heyu and Wang Jiaohe were preparing to make a desperate move, but Du Fuzhou did not find any problem.
Qi Xuansu's original intention was to uproot all three families, but now only two have been uprooted, and the Du family has always stayed out of the matter.
Qi Xuansu vaguely asked Master Jiang Da and Master Donghua if they wanted to continue the investigation.
Both Jiang Daren and Donghua gave a definite answer. The Wang family and the Sun family were the key, and there was no need to worry about the Du family.
Because he was one of our own, Master Donghua put it more bluntly. Master Donghua ascended and passed away, and his tablets and portraits are still enshrined in the ancestral temple. He made contributions to the Taoist sect, and his coffin has been sealed. He cannot be inflicted on the faces of his predecessors.
Discredit. Moreover, many of Dazhenren’s disciples are still alive and occupy high positions, so their feelings cannot be ignored. In addition, Du Yuhua has already corrected himself in time, realized his mistakes, expressed his willingness to repent, and can correct his mistakes if he knows them.
, there is no great good.
So Qi Xuansu understood that the legacy of the great master was profound. The so-called gentleman's virtue was cut off after five generations, and this was only the third life, and it was still useful. As for whether Du Yuhua recognized the mistake and repented, it was not important.
In front of the shadow of the great master, it is just the minutiae.
In terms of Western counting methods, without the leading one, there is no meaning no matter how many zeros follow.
Qi Xuansu stopped pursuing it, and judging from the evidence he had, there was indeed nothing wrong with Du Fuzhou. He was not a cruel official and could not frame others with false accusations.
It's just that Qi Xuansu didn't expect that Du Fuzhou would take the initiative to see him. In any case, the matter has not been settled yet. Du Fuzhou should keep a low profile after the Taoist monk was arrested.
Qi Xuansu stepped off the flying boat and said straight to the point, "What do you do, Fellow Daoist Du?"
Du Fuzhou's attitude was very low: "My mother wants to see me."
Chief Qi."
Qi Xuansu frowned and said, "Let's wait another day."
Du Fuzhou said again, "The king's office is here too."
Qi Xuansu's face suddenly became solemn, "Fellow Daoist Du, you should know the reason for my coming. Let me also remind you that cheating Jin Que, being dishonest to Jin Que, and being duplicitous will not end well."
Du Fuzhou hurriedly said, "Chief Qi misunderstood. It was not my mother who invited the king to come over, but the king who came uninvited. My mother was alone, how could she refuse the king? My mother really had no choice, so she
Let me come here and wait for Chief Qi."
Qi Xuansu's expression softened slightly and he said to Chen Jianchou, "Contact Zhang Cixi and the others and ask what is going on."
Chen Jianchou took the order and left, and quickly replied, "Zhang Cixi and the others are keeping an eye on Sun Heyu, and only Miss Yin is left behind."
Qi Xuansu immediately understood the intention of Zhang Yuelu's move. After Wang Jiaohe and Sun Heyu separated, if they divided their forces, both sides would be weak. If they concentrated their efforts on one, they would have an advantage.
Sun Heyu is injured, so he must be a bit weaker than Wang Jiaohe. With Lin Yuanmiao facing him head-on, and with the three talents from the Taoist sect checking in and assisting him, he is almost certain. In this way, he can at least keep the lower limit.
As for letting both of them run away.
This was also Qi Xuansu's great trust in leaving Wang Jiaohe to him.
Of course, instead of letting Qi Xuansu fight Wang Jiaohe alone, Xiao Yin was left to Qi Xuansu. How Qi Xuansu dealt with Zhenjun Siming back then, he will do the same with Wang Jiaohe this time.
Qi Xuansu had an intuition that Wang Jiaohe wanted to see him deliberately.
However, Qi Xuansu did not rush to see Wang Jiaohe. Instead, he picked up Xiao Yin first, otherwise he would be in trouble. He alone was no match for Wang Jiaohe. Chen Jianchou stayed behind in Feizhou and was responsible for liaison.
.
Xiao Yin was very happy after seeing Qi Xuansu.
Lao Zhang and Lao Qi each have their own merits. The advantage of Lao Zhang is that he is generous and does what he says, but the disadvantage is that his management is too lenient and too strict. Lao Qi is just the opposite. The advantage is that his management is not lenient and strict.
The disadvantage of not being strict is that he is stingy. It cannot be said that he is stingy, it should be said that he is poor. Anyway, Lao Qi has no money.
Xiao Yin recently followed Lao Zhang and saved some money, but because he was too strictly controlled, he had no time to spend it. What's the point of the money that can't be spent? At this time, Lao Qi is very needed.
Qi Xuansu painted a cake for Xiao Yin, "Let's do the business first. As long as the business is done, I won't stop you if you want to walk around Nanyang."
