At this time, there were many people standing in front of the gate of Tiangang Hall. Qi Xuansu found that the tall man with a big sword was also here, but he did not communicate with other people. He stood alone with his arms folded around his chest and was concentrating with his eyes closed.
.
As if aware of Qi Xuansu's gaze, he opened his eyes and looked at Qi Xuansu unceremoniously.
Qi Xuansu smiled slightly and took the initiative to look away.
There is a sundial placed on one side of the gate of Tiangang Hall, with the hour mark marked on it, which means that it will take another half an hour before the door can be opened.
Qi Xuansu was not impatient. He also found a corner and waited quietly.
Not long after waiting, Qi Xuansu suddenly felt someone tapping him on the shoulder and was startled.
You must know that he has been walking on the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he is extremely vigilant. With the same cultivation level, it is impossible to be approached without knowing it. Someone can take a picture of him without him noticing.
shoulders, indicating that his cultivation level is far above his.
Qi Xuansu turned around and saw Zhang Yuelu standing beside him.
But today's Zhang Yuelu is a little different, wearing a crane cloak, round-headed cloud shoes, and a pure Yang scarf.
Taoist Priests of the Fourth Wine Sacrifice.
Qi Xuansu was surprised but not surprised by this result. It was unexpected and reasonable, and finally turned into a helpless smile.
Zhang Yuelu asked with a smile: "Brother Tianyuan doesn't seem to be very surprised."
Qi Xuansu answered truthfully: "On that day, Miss Tantai said that I would definitely be able to enter the Tiangang Hall. I thought about it over and over again. With such a tone, at such an age, and being in the same Tiangang Hall, and being a woman, this is the only possibility."
Zhang Yuelu asked knowingly: "What's possible?"
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to say: "Miss Tantai is Deputy Hall Master Zhang of Tiangang Hall, and Deputy Hall Master Zhang is Miss Tantai."
Zhang Yuelu smiled slightly: "It is said that friendship is based on sincerity. Brother Tianyuan, do you think I deliberately deceived you? To be honest, Jiaci's surname was Tantai, and the name 'Tantaichu' was exactly what Jiaci chose. In private, I
They all use this name. If Brother Tianyuan likes it, you can call me 'Tantai Girl' in the future."
While the two were talking, others also noticed Zhang Yuelu, who was dressed as a Taoist priest of the Fourth Grade Wine Festival, and they were all a little surprised.
The fourth-grade Taoist priest, another young woman, appeared outside the Tiangang Hall at this time. Her identity was self-evident. She was the new deputy hall leader Yuelu. There was no doubt that the seventh-grade Taoist priest looked very familiar with Zhang Yuelu.
Who is it again? Is he a child of a prominent family?
After all, today they all wear the formal clothes of Taoists, so it is difficult to tell their origins from their clothes, so they can only guess based on thin air.
For a while, everyone had various speculations. Some guessed that Qi Xuansu was a descendant of the Zhang family from Dazhen Mansion, and that he and Zhang Yuelu were childhood sweethearts.
Cousins; some speculate that Qi Xuansu is the son of the Li family who was born in the East China Sea, a direct lineage of the Xuansheng, and is more noble than Li Tianzhen, who was born in the Donghuang lineage; others think that Qi Xuansu is not from the prominent Zhang and Li families, but Zhang Yuelu
After his parents' family relationship, what's even more outrageous is that some people even thought about the Tian family royal family, thinking that Qi Xuansu might be a descendant of the clan.
Although Qi Xuansu didn't know what everyone was thinking, he could feel the various looks falling on him, including envy, jealousy, hatred, contempt, and flattery.
This feeling is not pleasant.
Qi Xuansu even suspected that Zhang Yuelu deliberately roasted himself on the stove.
Previously, he couldn't figure out where he exposed his flaw, causing Zhang Yuelu to suddenly pay attention to him.
Now he has completely figured it out. The bad thing was that chance encounter.
It was just a chance encounter, so there was nothing wrong with it. However, this chance encounter made Zhang Yuelu remember the name Qi Xuansu. When she saw the list submitted by Sun Yongfeng, it naturally attracted her attention.
Many things, at first glance, do not seem to have any problems. As long as they do not attract special attention from others, there will never be any problems.
But if you examine it carefully, you will find loopholes and cause trouble.
With his status, how could he stand so openly in front of everyone?
At this moment, an oxcart slowly stopped, and a person got out of the car. He was also dressed like a Taoist priest of the fourth grade wine ceremony. It was Sun Yongfeng who had received two hundred Taiping coins from Qi Xuansu.
For a fourth-grade Taoist priest who offered sacrifices to wine, two hundred Taiping coins was not a big sum, but he did not just receive money from Qi Xuansu alone. When accumulated, the amount was extremely considerable.
During the month from July 15th to August 15th, Sun Yongfeng was "full" and in a good mood. He was thinking about buying a residence in Xuandu so that it would be convenient for him to be on duty in the future.
But Sun Yongfeng didn't expect that as soon as he got off the car, he saw Zhang Yuelu, who was already one step ahead. His expression tightened and he hurried towards Zhang Yuelu.
Although they are both fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priests, their positions are different. Just like the real person Shenzhi Jinque discusses matters and the ordinary real person are both second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests, their statuses are also very different.
Zhang Yuelu doesn't even need to talk about his age. In the future, his backers will be able to suppress him just by doing business.
"Deputy Hall Master." Sun Yongfeng bowed his head.
Zhang Yuelu accepted the gift calmly and did not reply.
He smiled politely and said, "Master Sun, I haven't thanked you enough for recruiting so many talented people for me."
Sun Yongfeng heard something was wrong in Zhang Yuelu's tone, and subconsciously raised his head to look at Zhang Yuelu, only to see Qi Xuansu standing next to Zhang Yuelu.
In fact, Qi Xuansu lowered his head the first time Sun Yongfeng appeared, so Sun Yongfeng failed to notice Qi Xuansu at the first time, but at this time, he could no longer hide away.
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly and looked away silently.
Sun Yongfeng was an old man and he still didn't understand. For a moment, he felt a chill in his back and was speechless.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Yuelu still saved face for Sun Yongfeng. He glanced at the sundial on the side of the gate and said calmly: "Master Sun, get ready to start."
Sun Yongfeng responded quickly: "Yes."
Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu again and said softly: "Brother Tianyuan, come with me."
Qi Xuansu could only follow Zhang Yuelu towards the main entrance of Tiangang Hall. For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on him and Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Yuelu seemed to be calm and calm, but Qi Xuansu felt a little like a light on his back.
Until then, Sun Yongfeng took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped the sweat on his forehead. At the same time, he cursed Qi Xuansu in his heart, since you know the deputy hall master, you can just go to the deputy hall master directly, why bother to come and go?
My way out? Isn’t this harmful to me?
Then he thought again, could it be that Zhang Yuelu deliberately set up the situation?
Zhang Yuelu first used Qi Xuansu to seize the opportunity for her to accept bribes, and then did not reveal anything, like a sharp sword hanging high but not falling, making herself nervous. Although the deputy hall leader did not have the power to remove the principal, if she violated the law openly and secretly, she only needed to hand over the evidence to Beichen
Tang, then he would be in trouble, not to mention that this woman was originally from Beichen Tang.
In this way, I will have no room for excuses in the future and can only obey orders and act.
Thinking of this, Sun Yongfeng no longer dared to underestimate the young deputy hall leader based on his seniority. He put away the idea of revenge that he had just had and began to think about how to make friends with Qi Xuansu. After all, Qi Xuansu could help Zhang Yuelu do such a thing.
, he must be Zhang Yuelu’s confidant.
At this time, Qi Xuansu didn't know that even in Sun Yongfeng's eyes, he had become Zhang Yuelu's person. However, he probably guessed some of Zhang Yuelu's intentions. He was the first to Tiangang Hall, so why was this woman the same? She was too young,
She has yet to gain a firm foothold, so she needs to develop her own inner circle of helpers from these newcomers to help her gain a firm foothold.
Obviously, Qi Xuansu has been favored by Zhang Yuelu and became her
He plans to develop into one of his confidants.
Zhang Yuelu came to the main entrance of Tiangang Hall, and two gatekeepers wearing armor slowly opened the two heavy bronze doors.
Behind the door is a huge courtyard. To the north is the main hall, to the west is the duty room, and to the east is the signing room. Zhang Yuelu walked straight to the west side of the duty room. Qi Xuansu had no choice but to follow behind her. Others did not do this.
For treatment, you can only wait where you are.
When he came in to check the room, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but ask: "Deputy...Miss Tantai, don't you want to be interviewed?"
"It's over." Zhang Yuelu walked to the desk and sat down.
Qi Xuansu hesitated and said, "How do you say this?"
Zhang Yuelu took off the pure Yang scarf and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "As early as the first day of August, I have already met Brother Tianyuan, has Brother Tianyuan forgotten?"
Qi Xuansu said: "Does this count? It's too childish..."
Zhang Yuelu interrupted in a tone that left no room for doubt: "If I say it, then forget it."
Qi Xuansu could only be speechless if he was a senior official, let alone several levels higher.
Zhang Yuelu continued: "Brother Tianyuan and I are old acquaintances, so I won't beat around the bush. This time, Tiangang Hall has added a new deputy hall leader position. Correspondingly, two principals, six deacons and other people will be added.
Etc. The candidate for the deputy hall leader is decided by the real person; the candidate for the principal is decided by the real person in charge; the candidate for the deacon is decided by the deputy hall leader; and the next one is decided by the principal. In other words, I have
There are six deacon quotas, and I want Brother Tianyuan to serve as one of the six deacons. I wonder what Brother Tianyuan wants?"
Qi Xuansu was moved in his heart. He did not rush to agree, but said: "According to theory, the deacon of Jiutang should be a fifth-grade Taoist priest or a sixth-grade Taoist priest. I am only a seventh-grade Taoist priest. I'm afraid..."
Zhang Yuelu smiled: "If we put it this way, the deputy hall masters are usually held by second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests and third-grade Youyi Taoist priests. I, a fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest, shouldn't be the deputy hall master?"
Qi Xuansu could only say: "There is absolutely no such intention."
Zhang Yuelu said: "Since I can be the deputy hall master, then you can be the deacon. There is one thing, I only give you a name. Whether the people below you can obey you depends on your own ability."
Qi Xuansu looked hesitant.
Zhang Yuelu's tone increased slightly: "Brother Tianyuan, don't pretend to be a garden Taoist priest in front of me. Why do people who are fighting in the light of swords and shadows pretend to be intimidated?"
Speaking of this, Qi Xuansu could only agree, but smiled bitterly in his heart. This new boss was obviously not as easy to serve as Qiniang.
