Chapter 142 Plans and Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law
After Wutu returned, he reported the specific situation to Qi Xuansu.
Although Qi Xuansu saw the image sent back by Wu Tu in real time in the light curtain, what he saw with the naked eye was still incomplete. For example, Qi Xuansu could not feel the might of the old dragon in person. Only Wu Tu, the person involved, could feel it.
It needs to be spoken.
Qi Xuansu is not a person who likes to be arbitrary, but he can still listen to other people's opinions. Therefore, Qi Xuansu convened a small-scale meeting to discuss the details of the specific plan based on the existing relevant information.
It can be divided into three main parts. The first is to deal with the immortals on the periphery; the second is to face the old dragon himself; the third is to guard against the threat from the dark, which is Zhou Mengyao.
For Qi Xuansu, the first part is not a problem. The old dragon is sleeping. As long as Hu En'ahan and Wu Tu are dispatched, the two pseudo-immortals join forces, plus Qi Xuansu, who has a combat power that is close to that of an immortal, it will be easy.
Get rid of the high-level combat power of the Immortals before the old dragon wakes up, and then Sun Jiatu takes the opportunity to gather other Immortals who are not deeply transformed into dragons.
The second part is more challenging, but it is still under control. The old dragon himself has the combat power of an immortal, but he is not a quasi-one-evil immortal, even if he is in peak condition, Qi Xuansu, Hu En Ahan, Wu Tusan
People can work together to deal with it, but now that he has been severely injured and has to fall into a deep sleep, it means that his realm cultivation has also been greatly affected.
If you are lucky, the old dragon falls directly to the pseudo-immortal state. Even if it is a pseudo-immortal that is comparable to the ancient immortal god, it can be won directly. There is nothing to say.
If you are unlucky and the old dragon is still in the realm of an immortal, there is a high probability that it is on the verge of collapse. Then three people will entangle the old dragon head-on, and then the "horned dragon" will directly launch the "Dragon Eye Jia Er". Although it cannot directly threaten the immortal.
The "Dragon Eye Armor" is enough to hurt the old dragon. This has been verified when Fenglinzhou killed the Yamata no Orochi.
Although the "Chorned Dragon" is not as good as the "Yinglong" in terms of comprehensive combat power, it is mainly due to its lack of flexibility and is more like a fixed fort. It is enough to say that the power of the bombardment is not inferior to the "Yinglong" in the slightest.
There is a saying in Gongmen that says, "What can't be obtained under three trees?" Now we can change it a bit: "What can't be obtained under three cannons?"
This is a test for the gunner. If he is a first-grade spiritual officer, one person can fire the cannon. But now there are no first-grade spiritual officers, only a group of ordinary spiritual officers. It requires the cooperation of many people, so the role of the commander is very critical.
Yang Shaozhen's responsibility as leader is very important.
Qi Xuansu hoped that this woman would not just talk, but would take practical actions to prove that she could hold up half the sky. For this reason, Qi Xuansu even brought up the legendary Zhang Yuelu to encourage her.
Yang Shaozhen issued a military order on the spot, stating that he would complete the mission.
In fact, although the second part is difficult, it is not that important. Even if you can't defeat them, you can still retreat, but the old dragon may not be able to keep them.
The key is the third part of the plan. This is the core and the part that Qi Xuansu attaches most importance to.
The dragon is full of treasures, but it can't compare to getting rid of a serious enemy.
Everyone is aware of the fact that after becoming a Grand Master, if he can grasp the real power, not to mention sitting on the world, it is not far away. Today's world is divided into two parts: the East and the West, and the Grand Master
The religion is the "Eastern Emperor" and dominates almost half of the world.
Although it is half the world, the territory and population are far larger than the world in the context of Confucianism.
What treasure can be compared to half the world?
Qi Xuansu has reached this point and there is no room for retreat, not to mention Qi Xuansu doesn't want to retreat.
It's just that it's still unclear when Zhou Mengyao will take action. The most likely time is when the battle is the most intense and when Qi Xuansu is at his most flawless, she suddenly takes action and captures Qi Xuansu.
This made Qi Xuansu have to leave some remaining strength, at least not to be defeated by Zhou Mengyao in one blow, and then he would have the opportunity to launch various countermeasures and give Zhou Mengyao a big surprise.
Qi Xuansu was also worried that when Zhou Mengyao saw something was not going well, he would leave immediately and try to play Qi Xuansu's trick of escaping thousands of miles away with one hit.
But Qi Xuansu didn't have a good way. It would be very difficult for him to counterattack. It would be an idiot's dream to keep an immortal. He could only place his hope on Zhou Mengyao's arrogance and carelessness.
Regarding this part, Qi Xuansu did not discuss it in depth, but just let everyone know how to fight back. Only Qi Xuansu himself knew how to fight back. In this regard, others could not help Qi Xuansu much. Qi Xuansu only had one request, even if there was an emergency
If a situation arises, don't lose sight of one thing or the other, and concentrate on solving the old dragon.
Several people carefully sorted out the specific details several times, tried their best to consider all the worst-case scenarios, and made several emergency plans.
After all, it is about one's own life and safety, and no one dares to mess with things. Not to mention racking their brains, at least everyone put their talents to use and put forward professional opinions from a professional perspective.
Tantai Ying, as the general reserve team, has already led the fleet of Xi Tiangangtang to set off. Now he doesn't care whether to alert the enemy. Things have to be prioritized. The insect man is just a scabies disease, and Zhou Mengyao is a serious problem.
The discussion has come to an end, and the operation has officially begun, with a tentative code name
"Tian Yu Dragon Slaying Dance".
…
Qiniang and Xiao Yin finally left Jinling Mansion and returned to Nanyang.
One is to send Xiao Yin back, and the other is that Qiniang still has some things to deal with in Nanyang. Although the Babu Zhong has Shangguan Ya and Fenglinzhou Trading Company has Huan Ji, Qiniang is the big boss, and many things need to be done.
She made the decision herself.
Qiniang is such a busy person, flying around all over the world.
After dealing with the affairs in Nanyang, she has to go to the Western Regions, where there is also business.
In addition, Qiniang also planned to meet Zhang Yuelu when she returned to Nanyang this time.
The relationship between Qiniang and Zhang Yuelu is very delicate, just like many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. If it weren't for a man, they might never have crossed paths in their lives.
After the intersection, the age gap will lead to ideological and cognitive differences, philosophical issues, personality issues, coupled with the issue of family power ownership, it is inevitable that the two will look at each other and hate each other.
It is now a recognized fact that female Taoist priests have a strong desire to control. They want to control their husbands and their sons. The mother-in-law’s son and the daughter-in-law’s husband are the same person. Who do they listen to?
On a smaller scale, it's a matter of competing for men. On a larger scale, it's a question of who has the final say in the family and the right to speak.
This kind of problem rarely happened in the past, because men are the masters of the family. Under the framework of Confucian ethics, they obey their husbands when they marry and their sons after their husbands die. Both the wife and the mother have to obey the man, and there is filial piety on their heads. They can only live for many years.
The daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law.
But now that men have stepped aside, they only need to immerse themselves in work and be honest and obedient. Ethics and filial piety have also been smashed to pieces with the hammer of equality, and this power conflict has become more serious.
Regardless of the unusual identities of Zhang Yuelu and Qiniang, this one is the legendary Zhang Yuelu and that one is the famous Yao Qi. They are also not immune to this matter.
Zhang Yuelu didn't approve of Qiniang's behavior, and if he wanted to correct it, he had to have the final say. Qiniang felt that Zhang Yuelu had violated her territory, so she refused to let go.
In the past, people got married early and could get married at the age of fourteen, while they were still children. The mother-in-law was less than forty years old and in the prime of life. How could a half-grown child defeat her mother-in-law?
Things are different now. Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are at their right age. They are mature enough. They are no longer children. They have their own careers and have plenty of experience and means.
On the contrary, Qiniang and other parents-in-law are mostly over sixty years old and entering their twilight years. Life is rare in the past seventy years. To put it harshly, half of it is already buried in the earth.
The current mother-in-law is almost the same age as her former husband’s grandmother. She has reached the age where she should step back and hand over the power of housekeeping.
go.
However, Qiniang has good cultivation and is not depressed because of her old age. She does not want to retreat to the second line. She is still full of energy, so she has to fight.
Don't think this is a trivial matter. If Qi Xuansu really became the chief minister, although it cannot be said that family affairs are state affairs, it would not be far away.
Because Zhang Yuelu represents the Zhengyi Tao, and Qiniang represents the Quanzhen Tao. If Qi Xuansu can come to power, then it must be the joint promotion of the two Taoists. When the time comes to distribute dividends afterwards, the discord between the madam and the dowager may even turn into the two behind the scenes.
The confrontation between the two major factions. This is a bit like the time when relatives came to power. The Queen Mother’s natal family and the Queen’s natal family are both relatives. Who will be in power?
At this time, men need to take some responsibility and take the initiative to stand up.
However, when you stand up, you don't want to please both sides. If you want to please both sides, you will often end up pleasing neither side. On the contrary, if you don't please both sides, a bowl of water will be flat, but you may want to please both sides.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu often regards himself as the head of the family - you two should stop fighting, each of you should take a step back and just listen to me.
In the eyes of the two women, although I didn't get great power, she didn't get it either, so it was still acceptable.
Precisely because Qi Xuansu dared to take on the responsibility, and because Qiniang and Zhang Yuelu were busy and rarely met each other, these conflicts were okay. At least they were restrained and not made public.
Zhang Yuelu had not yet arrived in Beijing, so she was somewhat surprised when she heard Qiniang's visit.
Xiao Yin is not an ordinary child. There is no need to send her to your doorstep, just let her come back on her own.
Qiniang personally sent Xiao Yin back, so she had something to say.
Zhang Yuelu invited Qiniang in. Because the marriage was settled, she thought Qiniang wanted to discuss the marriage.
But Qiniang didn't mention it at all. She was not Tantai Qiong, so she didn't care about it. She didn't even plan to attend the ceremony, so why would she care about more details?
Qiniang pulled Xiao Yin and said, "Good boy, tell me what Tianyuan asked you again."
Xiao Yin Yiyan repeated it again.
The more Zhang Yuelu listened, the more solemn his expression became.
Qi Xuansu never mentioned these things to her, but only mentioned their marriage.
She didn't know it was so sinister.
Zhang Yuelu is a person with a sharp mind. After listening to this, he immediately realized something: "Tian Yuan will not ask about this matter for no reason. Does this mean that Zhou Mengyao has already arrived in the Southern Continent?"
