Early the next morning, Qi Xuansu left the Taiping Inn and headed to the place he had agreed with Bodhisattva Man.
Longmen Mansion Guards General's Mansion.
In the official sequence of imperial military attachés, the garrison chief was second only to the general and admiral military affairs chief, who were only awarded in wartime, and was equivalent to Qin Wubing, the deputy governor. However, Longmen Mansion is located in the Central Plains
In the hinterland, peace has lasted for a long time, but in terms of the number of troops they lead, they are far inferior to the generals in Xizhou.
Bodhisattvaman is not the local garrison commander, he is just the aide of Mei Rulin, the garrison commander. Although he does not have any rank, the commander-in-chief relies on him very much. He is not just a confidant, but also a confidant.
Getting along here is not a relationship between boss and subordinate, but a relationship between friends.
This time Bodhisattva Man left Longmen Mansion, Mei Rulin tried several times to persuade him to stay, but Bodhisattva Man had decided to leave, and Mei Rulin had no choice but to get together and part ways.
It was not difficult to find the residence of the guarding general officer. After arriving, Qi Xuansu reported the name of Bodhisattva Man. It was very ordinary. Most of the time, like the name "Wei Wugui", it was a made-up fake name.
After a while, Bodhisattva Man came out of the General Military Mansion and explained: "I have been here recently at the General Military Mansion to hand over various matters on hand. Apart from eating and drinking, I have no time to relax."
Qi Xuansu didn't know how to answer the question for a while, so he could only respond vaguely.
Eating wine and having no time to relax, no matter how you look at them, they are never next to each other. But in the mouth of Bodhisattva Man, it is so natural and reasonable.
"Follow me." Bodhisattva turned around and entered the General Military Mansion.
Qi Xuansu followed Bodhisattva Man, and the man in black on duty did not stop him, and did not even ask. This shows that Bodhisattva Man's status in the General Military Mansion is almost the same as that of half a master.
Bodhisattva Barbarian said: "The Mei family is not a family of nobles for generations, but a rising star that has only made its fortune in the past hundred years. Several generations of loyal ministers and good generals are all pillars of talent. In Mei Rulin's generation, with '
For example, the character '' is a standard character for seniority. Because I was afraid of violating the taboo of the Li family, the second character was always next to the character wood, such as forest, pine, or cypress.
There is a saying that the Mei family is a big tree."
Qi Xuansu said: "The Li family is very domineering, and they don't have the same surname, so they have to take care of their seniority?"
"The Li family didn't say anything. They are not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case." Bodhisattva said calmly, "The Li family has been acting weird for a long time. The name of 'East China Sea Weird' has been passed down for hundreds of years.
Nothing they do is surprising. If the same thing happened to others, it would be a scandal that would cause the world to fall apart. But if it happened to the Li family, it would be nothing special. Who wouldn't be afraid?"
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that notoriety also has its benefits. If you are not burdened by the false reputation, you can do whatever you want."
"You can't say that." Bodhisattva Man did not fully agree with Qi Xuansu's statement. "The Li family is not all bad. It should be called a mixed reputation. After all, there was a Xuansheng from the Zhongxing Taoist sect. Going further, the Taishang Taoist ancestor
My surname is Li, and no one dares to openly say what the Li family's family tradition is like. At most, they only talk about it behind their backs."
Qi Xuansu smiled and did not argue.
His understanding of the Li family is only at a very superficial level. It is just that Xuansheng is very powerful and Donghuang is very domineering. The Li family is now powerful and ruthless. The head of the family, Li Changgeng, is the Great Master of Taiping Dao and the Master of Qingwei.
There is a domineering young master of the Li family named Li Tianzhen who is expected to aspire to the title of Grand Master. Li Minghuang, who abandoned Zhang Yuyue, is the adopted son of the Li family. There is also a genius named Li Changge who is suspected to have been piled up with "mysterious jade" by the Li family.
Other than that, nothing more.
Qi Xuansu followed Bodhisattva Man to a small courtyard. Many servants and clerks of the General Military Mansion were coming in and out. Some were carrying boxes, and some were taking down various files and files from the bookshelf, sorting them into categories and putting them into boxes.
Bodhisattva's so-called "no time" is just watching these people work. There are not many things that require him to do it himself, but there are many files here that cannot make any mistakes, and it is impossible not to keep an eye on them.
Bodhisattva Man ordered: "You send the packed boxes to the warehouse first, and the rest will be sorted tomorrow."
"Yes." Several servants responded, no longer touching the remaining files on the bookshelf, and instead went to carry the box.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but said: "I know the secrets of this mansion. Did you encounter any difficulties when you left in such a hurry this time?"
"I can't talk about the difficulty. An enemy from many years ago showed up again. This time I went to seek revenge from him. If it goes well, it won't take long. If it doesn't go well, it's hard to say. It may be several
Months, maybe years. As for the worse case scenario, it is gone forever, who can say for sure?" Bodhisattva said calmly.
Although Qi Xuansu was used to seeing people in life and death, he couldn't help but feel a little sad when he heard Bodhisattva Man say this. No wonder Bodhisattva Man wanted to send his adopted daughter away through Qiniang. To put it nicely, it was just in case.
, to put it harshly, he is arranging his funeral arrangements in advance. If he can come back alive, he can just take his adopted daughter back. If he cannot come back, he will not let his adopted daughter live on the street.
After a brief explanation, Bodhisattva finally said: "If you finish the work early, you can rest and wait for me to come over tomorrow to continue the rest."
All the servants responded in unison and took the order.
Then Bodhisattvaman led Qi Xuansu out of the side door of the General Military Mansion and walked to his residence. It was only one street away from the General Military Mansion and was a two-entry courtyard. Apart from Bodhisattvaman himself, there was only his adopted daughter.
and two old servants.
After Bodhisattva Man decided to leave Longmen Mansion, he had already dismissed his two old servants and gave them one hundred peace coins each, which was enough for them to settle down and live outside. Now, only their father and daughter are left in the house.
Arriving outside the house, Bodhisattva stretched out his hand and drew a talisman that Qi Xuansu didn't recognize. The light on the door flashed away, as if a certain formation had been lifted, and then he pushed the door open and entered.
A young girl came out to greet her. She was about fourteen or fifteen years old. She could not be said to be a beauty, but she had very smart eyes.
"Father." The girl shouted first, then her eyes fell on Qi Xuansu, a little curious and a little afraid.
A faint smile appeared on Bodhisattva's face: "This is my friend, you can call him..."
"Wei Wugui." Qi Xuansu took the initiative and said, "How many years older am I, you can call me Brother Wei."
"I've met Uncle Wei." The girl bowed.
Qi Xuansu coughed awkwardly.
With a ten-year age gap, it's really okay to call him brother or uncle.
Bodhisattva said rudely: "If we start from Qiniang, you are indeed of the same generation, but we all have our own affairs. If you call me 'brother', she will naturally call you 'uncle'."
Qi Xuansu could only nod. At the same time, he felt in his heart that in a few years, it would be difficult to think of himself as a young man all day long.
After all, people are only seventy years old. After forty, you can call yourself "old man". When you are thirty, you can be a husband, a father, start a family and start a business. Before the age of thirty, it is the fashion to be unnecessary. After the age of thirty, you can accumulate
Must be.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but touch his chin, beard, wife, and children. He didn't have any of them. That's why Qiniang said he was a bachelor. In this way, compared with those women who married in their teens, Zhang Yuelu's
She is not too young, no wonder Tantai Qiong is eager to arrange marriage for her.
At this time, Qi Xuansu did not know that Zhang Yuelu had been confirmed as the successor by Master Cihang. He already had a bright future and no longer had to worry about marriage.
Bodhisattva Man waved the girl over and introduced to Qi Xuansu: "Her surname is Liu, and her name only has the character 'Hu'. Because she is still young, she has no nickname. You are an elder, so just call her Liu Hu."
Qi Xuansu nodded and then got to the point: "Where do I need to send Liu Hu?"
The Bodhisattva said wildly: "Go to Zhili in the north and look for some red lips."
Qi Xuansu said in surprise: "Li Qingnu?"
The Bodhisattva was quite surprised and said: "It seems that you know her, so it will save me a lot of trouble. This escort trip is divided into three sections. You will be responsible for the first section, from Zhongzhou to Zhili. The second section
Li Qingnu will be in charge of the journey from Zhili to Youzhou. The third section will be in charge of people from Liaodong."
