Of course Qi Xuansu knew that the best way was to pretend to be a baron perfectly, not to alert anyone, and wait for the baron to come back, then take the baron's harvest and leave.
If everyone is detained, the forces behind them will be alerted and unnecessary changes will occur.
But there is nothing Qi Xuansu can do, whether it is Law Officer Ross, the four vampires, or the priest, everyone is aggressive and has a clear goal. If they are just acting within the scope of pretending to be a baron, there is no way to reasonably persuade them to retreat.
They, Qi Xuansu, had no choice but to use violent means to imprison them all, temporarily turning this place into an information black hole. People outside did not know what happened here specifically, and they had many doubts and suspicions. They did not dare to act rashly and had to make some preparations.
If you know how to do it, you can delay it for at least a day or so.
Of course, the best outcome is that the baron can come back within this day, and Qi Xuansu rushes to get his things and leave before these people take action. The worst outcome is that the local gangsters from St. York have already come to the door before the baron comes back.
Qi Xuansu had anticipated both outcomes and was ready to escape.
The special geographical location of the lower city determines that this is actually a porcelain shop. The people of St. York do not dare to fight here. If they get out of control, countless workshops and factories will be destroyed at least, and the entire lower city will collapse.
Don't forget that above the lower city is the city of St. York in a narrow sense. All the factories in the lower city were destroyed. Secondly, the huge collapse will cause the above-ground part of St. York to sink into the ground again, and the losses will be huge.
This is also the reason why underground cities are rarely built in the East. Orientals still value the word "foundation". If the foundation is not stable, they cannot build a building hundreds of feet tall.
Of course, Westerners will not fail to take this issue into consideration, and will definitely use various means not limited to steam machinery, such as divine arts, arcana, alchemy, magic, etc., to strengthen and fortify dungeons.
But the problem is that the inside is always more fragile than the outside, and when necessary, Qi Xuansu can use the Buddha's relics to deliver a blow that is infinitely close to that of an immortal.
Of course, Westerners have means that can withstand attacks from immortals or gods, but they cannot cover the entire underground city with such means - this is not the Holy See or the Jade Capital.
The result is obvious. As long as Qi Xuansu makes good use of this Western mentality, he can escape smoothly.
As for the Patriarch and the Cardinal, they will basically not take action immediately unless they know Qi Xuansu's true identity. However, except for Qingwei Zhenren, no one knows that "Daqi" is Qi Xuansu, the chief deputy head of Beichen Hall.
If Trauni rebels, he will only be considered an assistant, so you can basically rest assured on this point.
As for Qingwei Zhenren, if a Taoist prince wants to use outsiders to eradicate Qi Xuansu, then he thinks too highly of Qi Xuansu. Once the news leaks out, at least he will lose his position as the headmaster, and at worst, his life will not be saved. This is equivalent to risking his own life.
How much hatred must we have to be so reckless about the future? But the two people only have a conflict of interests, and there are even some common interests, let alone a life-and-death feud. Qingwei Zhenren really wants to control Qi Xuansu, as long as he sits down
Assuming the position of Grand Master, there are many ways to suppress Qi Xuansu.
Maybe some people want to say, can’t it be done without leaking the news? That’s too underestimated the Celestial Master. The matter of Lingshan Cave was hidden deep enough, and it was many years ago that the Celestial Master finally dug it out. This kind of thing
It can't be more secretive than the Lingshan Cave with few living people. It may not be predictable beforehand, but it can definitely be found out slowly afterwards.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu expected that the Patriarch and the Cardinal would not take action immediately.
This is also a common problem among big people. When Chen Shuzhen was seriously ill, anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was something fishy, and Master Lan Da did not even check it out personally. The reason behind this is very consistent with human nature. I have to do everything myself. This big man is not ignorant.
Are you convinced? Let your subordinates do things that seem unimportant. It is enough for the big shots to know the results.
Due to the combination of various factors, Qi Xuansu was able to sit firmly on Diaoyutai here.
At this time, Qi Xuansu was still standing by the window in the baron's mansion.
Wu Niang sat on the chair behind the desk and even changed her clothes, wearing a shirt and breeches and boots, and placed her feet exaggeratedly on the table of the desk.
Qi Xuansu turned around and glanced at Wu Niang, "I thought you would always be dressed as a Taoist priest."
"That was in Yujing." Wu Niang said, "Don't forget, I stayed in the Western Continent and the New Continent for a long time. This is called doing as the Romans do when they are in the country. Aren't you the same now?"
Qi Xuansu is indeed dressed in a Western style now, and it is still a relatively retro classical style.
Wu Niang asked again, "How is your situation over there?"
Qi Xuansu shook his head and said, "Strawney was called away by Leopold and has not come back yet. Some people left the floating island just now, and I think they are about to take action. It seems that we can't wait until the baron comes back."
Wu Niang came up and said, "Well done, one will burn one, two will burn a pair."
Qi Xuansu
No words were spoken.
He is not a martial arts fanatic and has little respect for martial arts. In fact, he is not very aggressive, and the priority of force is not very high. This is related to Qi Xuansu's past experience. Before getting the "Heart of the Immortality Stone", Qi Xuansu's qualifications
There, they are weak most of the time, so they naturally don't place too much emphasis on force.
Wuniang is different. The master she has followed for the longest time is Tantai Yun. This master of the Xidao Sect is not only extremely talented, but also has a combative personality. He fights against Xuan Sheng, Emperor Gaozu, Xu Zu, Yao Zu, and Shamanism.
The Witch King, the Fighting Buddhism Sect, the Fighting Confucianism Sect, and the Fighting Holy Court fought from Liaodong to the northwest, and finally went to the Western Continent and the New World. Their iron fists never stopped. Wu Niang was probably infected with Tantaiyun's temper, and she also
He is very aggressive and it is best not to use his mouth if he can use his hands.
However, Qi Xuansu still overestimated the speed of these Westerners. He counted from the time when Strawney was invited to the lounge by Leopold. He thought it would take about an hour, that is, two hours in Western time.
The siege of the baron's mansion will be completed.
But in fact, the time spent by the city council was more than double Qi Xuansu's estimate, which was four hours.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. After going to the lounge, these big shots did not immediately start discussing countermeasures. They first played with women for an hour, and then slowly discussed it. When the discussion was completed, they communicated and communicated at different levels.
Time passed like this.
In fact, both the Taoist Sect and the Holy Court, after so many years of development, have become seemingly unshakable behemoths, but they are two aspects of the same body, and there are also problems of bloated institutions and overstaffed people.
Not talking about the Holy Court, let’s take the Taoist sect that Qi Xuansu is more familiar with as an example. A real person in charge of the palace is paired with nine deputy palace masters, and sometimes there are a few more assistants. The following also follows the example, with a chief master and a deputy master.
Several ordinary Taoist priests in charge.
These nine deputy palace masters are essentially similar to the Grand Master of the Department. The so-called Grand Master of the Department is in charge of the six departments as a cabinet bachelor. In fact, they have usurped the authority of the six ministers. The Grand Master of the Department has done the things of the minister.
, the minister had no choice but to usurp the power of the minister, and the minister could only seize power further down. Level by level, everyone is in their position but unable to pursue their own affairs, which will inevitably lead to bloated institutions and overstaffing.
When you reach the lowest level, a strange situation will appear.
In many institutions, there is one deacon, and then there are several deputy deacons. In the end, there is only one ordinary Taoist priest, and it becomes seven or eight deacons standing at the top to direct, and an ordinary Taoist priest working below.
How can this be done? How can the efficiency be high?
all sit on it
Taking command face to face means that people are too busy to do things.
There are too many things to do, and they still have to be completed. What should I do? Recruit non-staff personnel and grant them the status of fellow Taoist priests.
Everything was handed over to people with the same background as Taoist priests, and the ordinary Taoist priest became the boss of these people with the same background as Taoist priests.
The original establishment of less than ten people suddenly increased by dozens or even hundreds of people.
The actual people doing the work are all people from the same Taoist background. This is a bloated organization.
If something happens, if you investigate carefully, you will find that the perpetrators are all Taoist priests. Many people think that the Taoist sect is deliberately covering it up. In fact, they do not know the mystery. If you do more, you will make more mistakes, if you do less, you will make fewer mistakes, and if you do less, it will be good.
Official Taoist priests don't do anything at all, so how could something happen?
Since the time of the Five Dynasties Grand Master, they have begun to demand streamlining of personnel, but only half of the Taoist priests are involved. In a real sense, the foundation has been shaken, even if they are as strong as the Five Dynasties Grand Master, they cannot touch it.
Correspondingly, the Holy Court is not much better. Human nature is like this, and the shortcomings are the same.
It can only be said that they are equally matched opponents, the situation seems familiar, everything is so familiar.
Regardless of the various plans of the congressmen, it seems that they have wisdom in their hands and are foolproof. When it comes to actual implementation, it will be a blessing to be able to complete half of the plan.
How can those law enforcement officers who were sent to Xiacheng District in the middle of the night not have any resentment? Maybe they want to curse the mothers of these congressmen to death in their hearts, but they will still do their jobs with all their heart?
It only lasted four hours, until daybreak.
You, the congressman, are standing here talking without pain in your back, playing with women, counting money, and remembering that you are tormenting people in the middle of the night, then just take your time.
No matter what you gain, you get it, and the hard-working low-level law enforcement officers don’t get half a gold crown more. If you don’t get it, the low-level law enforcement officers will not starve to death.
Prosperity and alluring eyes corrode people's hearts, destroy their faith and destroy their foundation.
St. York happens to be the most prosperous place in the entire New World.
Materialistic desires prevailed, and the prosperity was almost to the point of decay.
Three thousand banknotes a month may depreciate at any time. It is not a gold krona that maintains its value. What are you doing?
When the time comes to fire two cannons into the sky, you will be worthy of the goddess's grace.
Such a long time could be regarded as a delay in fighting on the battlefield, but it also brought unexpected joy to Qi Xuansu - the baron almost missed the time and came back.
