Red Dust Daqian

Zhou Sen had always felt that Li Qi and the others' behavior was inexplicable, and he couldn't understand why they insisted on letting him participate in the Qixi Poetry Contest and win the championship. Now he finally understood that they wanted him to infiltrate Huaxi Shrine and become their undercover agent.

Zhou Sen questioned Li Qi with disdain on his face: "Why do you think I will help you? Mr. Li's outrageous actions at that time made me nervous for several days. I almost thought that I would lose my life in Jiangxia Prefecture. Why do you think I won't tell Huaxi Shrine about your information? After all, Huaxi Shrine is all-powerful in Jiangxia Prefecture, and it can provide me with the joy of living with all the people. I'm afraid that your power in Jiangxia Prefecture cannot match that of Huaxi Shrine."

I don't know if Li Qi has never been beaten by society, or he is too self-righteous. He didn't even explain to Zhou Sen his intention to win him over. He said to Zhou Sen disdainfully: "Tell on Huaxi Shrine. Otherwise, Taoist priest, you can have a try."

Li Qi's reaction shocked Zhou Sen. This guy was too arrogant. Was he using his power to bully others? Why did he think he could defeat him? Could a poem be enough to defeat him for the rest of his life? It was a bit ridiculous. He really wanted to leave. However, Zhou Sen held back. After all, he needed to save people and help when he entered Huaxi Society. After all, the other party was from the imperial court and had more people and power.

Zhou Sen asked coldly: "Since Master Li is so powerful and is a member of the imperial court, why not just send troops to encircle the Huaxi Shrine and search for evidence? Is it necessary to go through so much trouble?"

Li Qi was quite frank about this matter and stated directly: there is currently no direct evidence to prove that the Huaxi Society is harming the country and the people; without the list of main members of the Huaxi Shrine, there will be endless troubles if they are not caught in one fell swoop; and the specific location of the Huaxi Shrine has still not been figured out.

It would be extremely irrational to act rashly under such circumstances. The imperial court wanted to completely destroy and ban the Huaxi Shrine, rather than just do superficial work and arrest some insignificant figures.

Later, Li Qi threatened Zhou Sen in a mean way, "Master Zhang, are you planning to become an enemy of the imperial court? Besides, Master Zhang, I have the evidence of the poems that insult the imperial court. If you don't help, I can arrest Master Zhang at any time and punish him according to the law."

Zhou Sen was so angry that his nose almost became crooked when he heard Li Qi's threat.

Li Qinwei saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and hurriedly asked Zhou Sen, "Master Zhang, please don't be angry. We sincerely want to ask Master Zhang for help, and later we also heard that what the two Taoists did in Changnan County was all righteous, and they have always been helping the people and the government to do some practical and good things. I believe that after you understand what Huaxi Shrine has done, you will definitely make the right choice."

Li Qi saw Zhou Sen's anger and stopped being aggressive. He advised him kindly, "I believe in my intuition. Taoist Zhang is a broad-minded man with great ambitions. He would never go along with such treacherous people. If Taoist Zhang is willing to help the court eliminate the rebels, the court will definitely reward him."

Zhou Sen actually wanted to cooperate with Li Qi and others, but he didn't agree to it because he didn't agree with Li Qi's way of asking for help. Since Li Qi was willing to give in and gave him a way out, Zhou Sen took the opportunity to agree and put forward his own conditions. After all, he couldn't be controlled forever because of a poem. Besides, it was not an easy task to find the abducted girls in Huaxi Shrine at present. Cooperating with Li Qi and having helpers would increase the hope of success.

Zhou Sen didn't care whether he would be rewarded or not. After all, the matter had not been completed yet, and it was too early to ask for a reward. Zhou Sen didn't believe that Li Qi could give him much reward. Zhou Sen only proposed to take back the two poems that insulted the royal harem, and not let Li Qi continue to use the poems of Song of Everlasting Regret to oppress him.

Li Qi was hesitant, but finally agreed, but added another condition. He promised that he would not use poems to blackmail Zhou Sen in the future, but the signed poems needed to be returned to Zhou Sen after the matter was accomplished.

Zhou Sen was helpless, feeling that this Li Qi might be what later generations called a dual personality. Sometimes he was generous and open-minded, and sometimes he was timid. It was unclear where the critical point was, and it was really troublesome to communicate with him.

Since the cooperation has been reached, Zhou Sen tried to ask Li Qi if he had any plans, and the answer he got also shocked Zhou Sen. He did it on his own accord. There is no good plan for the time being, so he will take it one step at a time. Infiltration is only the first step. Now he is just an apprentice envoy of God, and he cannot access the core secrets for the time being. Before Huaxi Shrine issues tasks and unlocks the authority to become a formal envoy of God, Zhou Sen and Li Qinwei can only visit Huaxi Tower a few more times to see if they can find any useful clues. Zhou Sen and Li Qinwei both expressed that they were quite embarrassed. Visiting Huaxi Tower is overdrawing their lives.

Li Qi and Xiangcao looked at Zhou Sen, who was pretending to be embarrassed because he was a villain.

In order to divert the two's attention from the girl in Huaxilou, Zhou Sen took the initiative to bring up the matter of the Gu worm. Li Qinwei must have eaten the Gu worm. When he heard about the Gu worm in his stomach, Li Qinwei's expression became unnatural, and he was still frightened. He said that the pain when he ate it was really unbearable. If there is no antidote, it is really unbearable.

Li Qi thought Zhou Sen was worried that he had eaten the Gu worm, and if he betrayed Huaxi Shrine later, he would be tortured to death by the Gu worm. Li Qi promised Zhou Sen that he would help Zhou Sen solve the Gu worm problem later, and now he has been looking for such Gu worms through his own channels. He also promised that he would not easily touch Huaxi Shrine before completely solving the Gu worm problem between the two.

Although he said it sincerely, he didn't sound confident. Li Qi was probably not sure whether he could find the antidote. It seemed that he had no clues in the process of searching. Fortunately, Zhou Sen didn't eat the insect. He just started working with Li Qi and didn't fully understand him, so Zhou Sen didn't reveal that he didn't eat the insect.

Zhou Sen had been staring at Li Qi. Since entering the courtyard, Zhou Sen had been looking at Li Qi from time to time. After everything was settled, Li Qi finally became a little impatient. He rebuked Zhou Sen and said, "Is there something on my face? You keep staring at me. What do you mean? I am a man, you demon!"

Xiangcao and Li Qinwei looked at Zhou Sen with strange eyes. Li Qi's words made Zhou Sen extremely embarrassed, and he blurted out: "I like men." Everyone widened their eyes and was extremely shocked. Zhou Sen was extremely embarrassed and annoyed, and he made a slip of the tongue, "Pah", and hurriedly changed his words: "I like women! You think too much." Li Qinwei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed in his heart, fortunately it was a slip of the tongue, otherwise it would be too dangerous to work with Taoist Zhang in the future.
