Qi Xuansu put away the metal sun wheel and stepped off the boat first. Zhang Yuelu grabbed Ji Xiang Gong's wrist and pulled it gently. Ji Xiang Gong's cultivation level was sealed at this time, so he couldn't help but follow Zhang Yue Lu out of the boat.
Then the boat was seen shrinking rapidly and was received by Zhang Yuelu into the "Qiankun Bag" on his waist.
Xu Kou had already received the news and came over to greet him, "Deputy Hall Master, Deputy Hall Master Qi."
Xu Kou is Zhang Yuelu's direct subordinate, and the surname distinction is omitted in the title. There are many deputy hall masters in the Taoist sect, and there is only one deputy hall master above Xu Kou, and that is Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Yuelu asked, "Are you ready to meet the real person in charge of the army?"
Xu Kou replied, "All the people have been sent out to clean the streets and restrain the refugees. I have also said hello to the officials at all levels in the city and the big families, asking them to take care of their families and subordinates recently and not to cause trouble. I have already
Just say the ugly things up front, and if anyone doesn't take it personally, don't blame me for being rude afterwards."
"In three more hours, Xiaojing Lake inside the city and outside the city will enter the first-level security state. Master Zhangjun will inspect the front line this time and has to go to many places. Yoshida Castle is the second stop. Master Zhangjun will not stay too long.
Long."
Zhang Yuelu twitched the corner of his mouth, obviously disapproving of this kind of face-saving project, but he also knew that this was normal, so he did not comment and just said, "You can do whatever you want."
Qi Xuansu had no intention of interfering with this matter. After all, it was not within the scope of his responsibilities. However, when Master Qingwei arrived at Yoshida City, the two of them still had to go and greet him.
Zhang Yuelu pointed at the Jixiang Palace and said, "She is the key criminal who is wanted by the real person in charge of the army. Find me a larger room. The two of us will live together and I will personally take care of her."
Xu Kou nodded in agreement.
At this moment, a voice sounded, "Master Taoist?"
Qi Xuansu was startled and turned to look.
Asai Takashi and Toyotomi Chiyo walked out of the shrine.
At this time, Asai Takashi changed out of her shrine maiden clothes and put on a Taoist boy's clothes. She must have submitted to the Taoist sect under the influence of Toyotomi Chiyo. This is also reasonable. She is not very old and is a noble lady.
Born as an orphan rather than being adopted by Tianmen since childhood, her time to join Tianmen is quite limited, so her loyalty to Tianmen is naturally not that high. Coupled with Toyotomi Chiyo's personal statement, it is not difficult to understand why she left Tianmen to join Daomen.
thing.
Qi Xuansu no longer concealed his identity, "It's me."
"You, aren't you an onmyoji of the Harima style? Why are you here?" Asai Takashi's face was filled with surprise and some disbelief.
Qi Xuansu said calmly, "That is just my false identity. I am not an Onmyoji of the Harima style, but a third-grade Youyi Taoist from the Taoist sect. My name is not Taoist. My surname is Qi. My name is Qi."
Qi Xuansu, you can also call my cousin ‘Tianyuan’.”
Qian Jingdang opened his mouth, as if he didn't know what to say.
Qi Xuansu went on to say, "Yes, I lied to you, and there is nothing to hide now. On the orders of the master of the army, I passed through Ise and went to Suzuka Mountain to recruit Suzuka Gozen. Now I have completed the task."
Asai Dang was a little injured.
After all, it’s not a good feeling to be deceived.
Qi Xuansu did not offer much comfort, and there was no talk of guilt or other emotions.
As he has said a long time ago, he is not a pity person, and he will not treat Asai Dang differently just because she is a beautiful girl.
After all, Qi Xuansu had even deceived Zhang Yuelu, and had only fully confessed not long ago. It was just that Zhang Yuelu's heart was too strong and he didn't care about these minutiae, but was determined to change Qi Xuansu.
On the other side, Toyotomi Chiyo took the initiative to come to Zhang Yuelu, a little cautiously.
After all, this is the legendary Zhang Yuelu whom she has admired for a long time.
Zhang Yuelu has become accustomed to this kind of inexplicable and sudden fans, and his initial discomfort gradually turned into a calm response.
At this moment, Jishou Palace glared at Chiyo Toyotomi and Nobu Asai and scolded, "As nobles, you have received the favor of the country in your life. You don't want to die to serve the country, but you sold yourself to join the thieves. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Asai Takashi was young after all, so he lowered his head with shame on his face.
Toyotomi Chiyo responded coldly, "Don't forget, it was you who sent people to assassinate my brother. If this is the so-called national favor, it is really a great favor from heaven. I really can't bear it. We have long been at odds with each other.
I wish I could eat your own flesh."
Jixiang Palace was speechless for a while.
Zhang Yuelu didn't want to say anything more, so he grabbed Jixiang Gong's wrist and walked towards the shrine, "No more words, just follow me."
Ji Xianggong couldn't break free and had no choice but to leave with Zhang Yuelu.
With the candle of Jixiang Palace, Qi Xuansu could not go back to the past with Zhang Yuelu, so he had to go to his residence to continue studying the sun disc.
It was an uneventful day, and the next day, Master Qingwei arrived.
Before that, Master Qingwei first went to Yamada Castle in Duhui County, where he paid close attention to the logistics supply. Yoshida Castle was the second stop of Master Qingwei's trip.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu naturally had to go to Xiaojing Lake to pick up the boat.
From Yoshida Castle to Xiaojing Lake, the road
It has been sealed, and apart from their convoy, there are no other pedestrians along the way. The outside of Xiaojing Lake is already filled with men in black, fully armed and heavily guarded.
After Qingwei Zhenren was assassinated in Xiujing, the base camp issued a strict order to strengthen the security, which is the first level of security second only to the Grand Master's trip, even though Qingwei Zhenren has the strength of the Immortal Immortal.
When the convoy stopped, they saw two rows of men in black forming two human walls in front of them, leaving a passage in the middle. Qi Xuansu, Zhang Yuelu and others walked forward along this passage. A temporary formation was set up at the end of the passage.
To detect identity.
After passing the formation, we entered the dock of Xiaojing Lake. This place was taken over by the Taoist spiritual officials. Apart from the spiritual officials and Taoist priests, there was no "outsider".
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu arrived last, and the other deputy hall masters and principals were already waiting here.
After everyone gathered together, they stood at the dock and waited.
Soon, a "Yinglong" landed with a crash.
The majestic water vapor turned into a fine spring rain, making the air moist.
After the gangway was lowered, the first people to come down were a group of spiritual officers, the lowest of which was a third-grade spiritual officer, who could be regarded as the personal bodyguards of Master Qingwei. After coming down, they first looked around, and then lined up on both sides, looking forward with a serious air.
When Bai Di was not yet prosperous, he saw Zu Long on patrol and sighed, "Oh, this is what a man should do." ??
Qi Xuansu also had the same feeling at this time.
A true man should carry a three-foot sword and achieve unparalleled achievements. This is how he should do it.
Then, there is Master Qingwei and his entourage.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were not the highest-status people among the people present to greet them, but they had the most special status, so they walked at the front and took the initiative to greet them.
Master Qingwei emphatically praised the two of them in front of everyone, saying that they had repeatedly made extraordinary achievements.
When the people around saw this scene, they probably knew what was going on.
When the war ends, Deputy Hall Master Qi and Deputy Hall Master Zhang will probably move their positions again.
The two of them are so young and have relatively low qualifications. It seems a bit premature to be promoted to the second level of real people. However, they can change their positions, for example, from deputy hall leader to second deputy palace leader.
Theoretically, the deputy hall master and the second deputy palace master are on the same level, but in reality, the power of the two is very different, so this can be regarded as a promotion.
If you are promoted to the second deputy palace master, you will have to move to another place.
It is not difficult to guess where Zhang Yuelu can go. It is mainly the territory of Zhengyi Road. The first choice is Wuzhou Daofu, the so-called "unparalleled place in the south, Xijiang".
"The first one", "Southern Kingdom" refers to Wuzhou, which belongs to the doorstep. The second choice is Jiangnan Daofu, which is the doorstep of the Cihang lineage and is very close to Putuo Island. The last choice is Lingnan Daofu, which also belongs to Lingnan
It is the sphere of influence of Zhengyi Yitong, but the situation there is more complicated. Local snakes, big and small, "Heavenly Court", trading houses, Western forces, and pirates are all intertwined. It is not easy to achieve results and is not conducive to promotion.
Qi Xuansu is not easy to guess, because he is both a Quanzhen Taoist and the son-in-law of the Zhang family. It seems that he can be placed in Quanzhen Tao territory or Zhengyi territory.
For the two young people, being promoted to the second deputy palace master is not a goal, but a process. At the beginning, the two will not directly serve as the second deputy palace master, because there is no precedent for a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest to be the second deputy palace master.
, usually you first become the acting deputy palace master, or just a deputy palace master. However, the second deputy palace master above you already has other places to go. Then you can establish your feet and become familiar with the situation. As long as there are no mistakes, it will be a matter of course if you achieve a little success.
If the word "generation" is removed, as the position increases, the grade will naturally change accordingly. In this way, the resistance will be much smaller and the grade problem of the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest can be solved.
Next comes the chief, the head, and the head, which is also a leap from an ordinary real person to a knowledgeable real person.
What is a promising future? This is a promising future.
As for the path after knowing the real person, it is not something that can be arranged at will. It depends more on fate, situation, and luck. Whether you can be the deputy leader of the real person or the great leader depends on luck.
After Master Qingwei talked with the two people, he talked with others one by one.
For the next whole day, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu stayed with Master Qingwei, running non-stop.
This kind of running around is quite boring for Qi Xuansu, but it cannot be avoided.
Master Qingwei first went to the branch hall of the temporary Huasheng Hall to visit the wounded and express his condolences. Then he went to the temporary shanty town to visit the refugees, focusing on the porridge factory and granary, and even visited the prisoners of war, including Jixiang Palace. Jixiang Palace
Gong still looked like he would rather die than give in, and Master Qingwei didn't care. He just asked Jixiang Gong to be taken to "Yinglong" and prepared to escort him to Xiujing's camp for custody.
Throughout the whole day, there was almost no break.
Everywhere Qingwei went, he had to speak, either to encourage, to comfort, to win people's hearts, or to understand the situation. He visited both the inside and outside of Yoshida Castle, spoke countless words, and met with countless people.
People, this is a pseudo-immortal with unlimited energy. If it were a scholar with no strength, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to persist at all.
In the evening, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu sent Master Qingwei to "Yinglong" again, and it came to an end. Master Qingwei was far from resting, and he had to rush to the next stop to continue his inspection.
