Chapter 99 Man in Black

Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "Guess whether I dare or not? Anyway, I was adopted by the Wanxiang Taoist Palace since I was a child. I have no name or surname. I don't know who my parents and ancestors are, and I am not afraid of other people's gossip."

"A son-in-law, right?" Zhang Yuelu rolled his eyes at him, "I think you have read too much. Our Zhang family doesn't like this, but the Li family likes it very much. The adopted son-in-law can be the head of the family, because giving birth to a son or a daughter is not a problem.

There is no choice, but the adopted son and son-in-law can be chosen by oneself, which is the foundation of the Li family's continued prosperity."

"I know that no one with the surname Zhang can inherit the position of Great Heavenly Master. This is the ancestral motto of the Zhang family for generations." Qi Xuansu said, "It is said that Xuan Sheng once wanted to abolish this rule, but the Zhang family still insisted on it."

Zhang Yuelu said: "Actually, this is a statement to the outside world. In fact, this rule is in name only. The Zhang family said that people who are not from the Zhang family cannot inherit the position of the Great Heavenly Master. This is a rule set by the Ancestral Heavenly Master and must be followed. Xuan Sheng then issued an edict.

The word "大" in "Great Celestial Master" was removed and the name was changed to "Celestial Master" so that it would not conflict with the rules of the ancestral Celestial Master. Later, Taipingdao also removed the title of "Great Sage Master" and accepted the imperial title of "National Master".

'The canonization, coupled with the Earth Division, formed today's three-division structure."

Qi Xuansu said in astonishment: "The Great Heavenly Master turns into a Heavenly Master, how can this be done?"

"Fortunately, the people of the Zhang family are doing well. Since Xuansheng Zhongxing Taoism, five of the six generations of heavenly masters came from the Zhang family. The only heavenly master with a different surname also came from the Zhang family. This ancestral rule can be barely maintained." Zhang Yuelu sighed softly.

. .??.??

Qi Xuansu asked with a smile: "I wonder if Qingxiao can become the first female Celestial Master?"

"This..." Zhang Yuelu said hesitantly, "But it's hard to say. If I really want to be a Celestial Master, then the old guys in the family will keep the position of Celestial Master in the Zhang family. They will definitely not let me get married, or they will spend the rest of their lives.

Stay chaste or recruit a son-in-law."

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became awkward.

Qi Xuansu deliberately changed the topic just to divert Zhang Yuelu's attention. He didn't really want to be a son-in-law in the Zhang family. In today's world, no matter how enlightened, a son-in-law will still be inferior to others. It doesn't sound good to say it out loud, and it doesn't look good on his face.

, and it is important to look at people's faces. Even if Zhang Yuelu agrees, Qi Xuansu has no interest in hiding and hiding.

Zhang Yuelu coughed lightly: "To get down to business, Yulan Temple is just a trap, obviously not the stronghold of the monsters. The underground hall we saw should not be here."

Qi Xuansu nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yuelu's thinking is still clear: "The key now is not to kill this group of demons, the key is to prevent the 'divine descent'. If the 'divine descent' is successful, then even if all these demons are killed, it will not help."

Qi Xuansu asked: "Where do you think their stronghold will be?"

Zhang Yuelu Ruo has something to say

Si Dao: "Ever since Xuandu and Zifu were infiltrated by ancient immortals, the Taoist sect has set up a self-examination mechanism. In addition to Beichen Hall, Tianji Hall will send people to inspect various Taoist temples every three years, and each Taoist government will also inspect each Taoist temple every three years.

They will inspect the Taoist temples within their jurisdiction. It is not difficult for Taoist priests to develop Taoist temples in Lingshan Witch Cult to become believers, but it is extremely difficult to transform the Taoist temples established by Taoist sects into their own strongholds. Qingbai Temple can be excluded. There is no academy here, so exclude it.

The monks and the Bon Temple are the only ones left, the wealthy gentry."

At this moment, Luo Xiao also led people over here. The Qingluan Guard Baihu was obviously frightened by the formation just now. He couldn't hide his panic and said quickly: "What should I do next? Please tell me.

Master, please give instructions."

Zhang Yuelu asked: "Which wealthy gentry families in the city have the ability to build underground palaces in their homes?"

Luo Xiao stretched out his hand to wave over the two Qingluan Guard generals and said: "Bai Yongguan is the temple master of Qingbai Temple, Zhucheng is the abbot of Yulan Temple, and Lin Zhenyuan was promoted to Qianhu as deputy Qianhu and concurrently as palm sealer Baihu.

Ten years of things happened. From this, it can be inferred that these demons should have started running Yishan City in the last ten years. You are all old people who have been in the city for a long time. Think carefully about which big business has done something unusual in the last ten years, such as borrowing money.

He was transporting soil from his home in the name of digging a pond, or he had done some construction work."

It has to be said that Luo Xiao is worthy of being the Qingluan Guard's Palm Seal Baihu, and his ideas are still very clear.

The two general bannermen recruited several minor bannermen and the elderly captain, and began to think hard and reminisce together.

After a while, Xiaoqi, a Qingluan Guard with a gray beard, said: "Reporting to Lord Baihu, Master Zhang, I remember that about five years ago, a large family did carry out construction projects."

"Which one?" Luo Xiao asked immediately.

The Qingluan Wei Xiaoqi said: "This person is a well-known Yuanwai master in the city, named Xia Chang. Unlike Jiao Dayan, this Xia Yuanwai is usually good at charity and is a well-known philanthropist. About five years ago

, a fire broke out in Xia Yuanwai's home and burned down many houses. At that time, Xia Yuanwai took this opportunity to renovate the old house from the inside out, and the project lasted about a year. "

After being mentioned in this way, other people also thought about it and agreed, proving that this was indeed the case.

Luo Xiao was a little hesitant. He knew that this member of the Xia family was indeed a cult demon. It would be easy to say that it would be nothing to beat him to death. But if not, there would be some trouble in the future. After all, he could be called a member of the cult.

, naturally there are some intricate relationships, since

Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for local gentry to go directly to temples.

Luo Xiao couldn't help but look at Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu is a decisive person: "It is the instruction of the Great Xuan Ancestor to assist the Taoist sect in eradicating the demons. Luo Baihu, please inform the local county magistrate, Mr. Qian, and ask them to bring people to help exterminate the demons. It is best to bring a few artillery.

There is no need for heavy artillery, ordinary artillery will do. If it has anything to do with it, the imperial court will issue a document to question the Taoist sect, and the ancestral court will hold the officials accountable, and I will take full responsibility for it."

This has to mention Daxuan's military system.

The Daxuan military system was born out of the previous dynasty. The military system of the former Wei Dynasty was divided into guards and camps.

The soldiers in the garrison have military status and are hereditary soldiers. They usually work in the fields or garrison, which is somewhat like the world army system and similar to the government army system.

Camp soldiers are not hereditary, but a recruitment system is implemented.

Since Emperor Shizong of the Wei Dynasty, due to the increasingly weakened guard system, the recruitment system has begun to become an important source of military strength. The famous elite soldiers are all from good families, and the recruited soldiers will not serve in the army for life. This is the camp soldier.

Because of this, the garrison and the camp have two completely different sets of official positions.

The guard station is the commander of the capital, the commander of the commander, the general commander, the commander of the officials, the commander of the commander, the commander of the commander, the commander of the officials, thousands of households, hundreds of households, general banner, and small banner.

The battalion soldiers are the admiral military affairs general officer, the general military officer, the assistant deputy general military officer, the staff general, the guerrilla general, the garrison general, the thousand general general, the general general, the sentry officer, the captain, and the chief.

If several general officers are fighting together, the imperial court will send a governor to coordinate the operation, also known as a manager or a division commander.

If the military attache is in charge of his own role, he will send a governor of the Five Army Governor's Office to bear the seal of the general. According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, if there is an expedition, the military commander will be ordered to wear the seal, and the commander will hand it over to the court. There are three seals of the general, one for each.

They are: General Zheng Lu, General Ping Lu, General Zhenshuo.

When Daxuan replaced Dawei, he deposed the Five Army Governor's Office and most of the guard posts, leaving only the Qingluan Guard. Therefore, the Qingluan Guard continued the official system of the guard post, with the commander as the chief officer.

The guard system is divided into three levels: capital, guard and guard.

The Du Commander's Department is referred to as the Du Si, and the highest officer is the "Du Commander", who is the second rank and is affiliated to the Fifth Army Commander's Office.

There is a guard below the Du Commander's Department, and the chief is the "Guard Commander". Below the guard are the Qianhu Station and the Hundred House Station.

The twenty-two guards of the emperor's personal army are called the "Commander and Envoy Division of the personal army" and are not affiliated with the Dusi and the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army.

In other words, "Wei" normally means "Du" above, but the full name of Qingluan Guard is "Qingluan Guard's Pro-Army Commanding Division", which is directly subordinate to the emperor.

Emperor, so there is no "du" above, and naturally there is no "du commander", only "wei commander", referred to as commander, which is the third grade.

In the previous dynasties, most emperors would serve as governors, commanders of the capital, tongzhi, commanders, and Qingluan guards, making them first- and second-grade ministers. But this dynasty no longer has the commander-in-chief of the five armies.

Therefore, the chief officer of Qingluan Guard can only reach the third rank, but his power is low.

The "men in black" as the world calls them are battalion soldiers and implement another set of official systems.

In fact, in the earliest days, the commander-in-chief guarded the local area, and the chief military officer held a temporary position and was the supreme commander when the army went on an expedition. Later, the guard system began to collapse, and the chief-military officer became the highest military attaché stationed in the local area, replacing the function of the commander-in-chief.

.

In addition to the permanent general military officer, the Daxuan court also added an admiral-general military officer, who was at the same level as the governor. The two were the highest civil and military officials in a state, followed by the envoys who accepted the government, punished and inspected the envoys, and the general

Military officer.

The governor controls several states and holds military and political power.

Because the full name of the governor is: Minister of the Ministry of War and Yushi of the Right Capital, the governor of a certain state, a certain state and other places. He is the admiral in charge of military affairs, food and salary, management of rivers, and governor affairs. Therefore, the governor has both the civil affairs power of the governor and the admiral of military affairs.

The military power of the official is the real official of the border.

The Mr. Qian Zhang Yuelu was talking about was the local man in black.

When it comes to fighting alone or in small groups, the men in black are certainly no match for the Qingluan Guards. But if it's a large group of men fighting, or attacking a city, the men in black are better. The greater the number of people, the greater the disparity.

The bigger it gets.

As a member of the Taoist sect, Zhang Yuelu certainly had no right to mobilize local county magistrates and guards. However, there was also a Qingluan Guard town envoy in the Baihusuo. He was an imperial envoy with a special mission and could mobilize troops as an imperial envoy.

Luo Xiao understood this and immediately went to Baihu's residence. At the same time, he ordered the rest of the Qingluan Guards to temporarily follow Zhang Yuelu's orders.

Zhang Yuelu was not polite and ordered: "First, surround Yuan Xia's house outside. Don't let anyone go."

Several Qingluan Guard general banners suddenly accepted the order.

Seeing this scene, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In the past, when I walked alone in the rivers and lakes, I was always outnumbered. I never thought I could have such a battle, but having said that, the feeling of overwhelming others is really not bad."

Zhang Yuelu said: "The most fearful thing in the world is that we are among you, you are among me, and the enemy is indistinguishable from me. Now that the monster hiding among us has been uncovered, we can clearly distinguish ourselves from the enemy, so we can use public weapons to annihilate them in one fell swoop."

When Qi Xuansu heard this, his face froze slightly and he felt guilty.
