Pawn Crossing the River

Xiao Yin asked: "Who is Miaobai? Who is Miaobai? Is it me?"

Qi Xuansu immediately woke up and changed his words: "It's Xiao Yin, why are you here?"

As soon as the words came out, Qi Xuansu realized that since Xiao Yin would appear here, it meant that Zhang Yuelu had arrived.

As expected, Xiao Yin said matter-of-factly: "I came from Dongdu Mansion by flying boat with Zhang Cixi."

Dongdu Province is not far from Borneo. If you take the sea route, it is even the nearest province.

Interrupted by Xiao Yin, Qi Xuansu no longer dwelled on the dream just now, and simply sat up and asked, "Where is Mr. Zhang?"

Xiao Yin said: "She is very busy."

Qi Xuansu suddenly realized something, who was in charge of the situation during his coma? Is it Qiniang? Could it be Zhang Yuelu? But whether Qiniang or Zhang Yuelu, both of them are suspected of having an unfair reputation. Qiniang is just a fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priest. No matter how powerful he is secretly, he cannot openly say it on the table. Zhang Yuelu's position was high enough, but the key was that she was not a Taoist priest from the Borneo Taoist Office. She could not blatantly cross the line and take charge of Borneo's affairs.

It can't be Wang Jiaohe.

The best option is of course that Master Landa has come out of isolation and regains control of the overall situation, so that he can rest in peace and recuperate. After all, his family knew his own affairs, and Qi Xuansu continued to use the pages of the "Xirui Sutra" within a short period of time, which caused a great burden on himself, and the situation was not optimistic.

In short, Qi Xuansu will be in a very weak state for a long time to come. It cannot be said that he is no better than a disabled person, nor much better.

Donghua Zhenren and Earth Master made it very clear that the essence of "Xirui Sutra" is false, and all the realms achieved are actually overdrafts.

Just like a dynasty, whether it is a dynasty that eats a lot of food, whether it is issuing debts or increasing wages, it is essentially an overdraft. It is true that you can do many things with overdraft money, including building up troops to defend against foreign enemies or carrying out large-scale construction projects. However, no matter whether these actions are good or bad, they will ultimately result in a deficit. If this deficit is allowed to expand, it will eventually explode. Let the entire dynasty collapse instantly.

The same is true for Qi Xuansu.

At this time, it is necessary to make up for the shortfall, increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and not make too big a move. To put it crudely and straightforwardly, it means tightening one’s belt and living a life.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu is in a weak state now. It is best not to take action and take a good rest.

If you continue to use the pages of the "Heritage" when "making up for your shortcomings", you are courting death.

This made Qi Xuansu a little worried. He was used to having power and then suddenly losing it was more painful than losing power.

Fortunately among misfortunes, Qi Xuansu still has power. It is foreseeable that this power will tend to grow.

After all, Chen Shuhua defected, and the position of chief deputy palace master became vacant. In this way, Jinque will probably have three options. One is to directly parachute a chief deputy palace master, one is to let Qi Xuansu temporarily take over the position of chief deputy palace master, and the other is to let Wang Jiaohe temporarily take over the position of chief deputy palace master. Main duties.

The last possibility can basically be ruled out. After all, Jin Que is targeting Wang Jiaohe, so why would he be allowed to temporarily serve as the chief deputy palace master? Mainly the first two possibilities.

When it comes to airborne candidates, whether it is Zhang Yuelu, Li Changge, Yao Pei

, are unlikely, mainly because of insufficient qualifications. If Jinque really wants to parachute a chief deputy palace master, the most likely thing is to send a mature and prudent seventh-generation disciple. If we put aside the realm of cultivation, then the most suitable candidate is Pei Xiaolou, the brother of Donghua Zhenren, who is reliable enough and has sufficient qualifications, but Pei Xiaolou's realm of cultivation is holding him back.

If Qi Xuansu is allowed to temporarily take over the position of chief deputy palace master, then Qi Xuansu's power will be too great, and the master in charge will not be able to retreat. Qi Xuansu has already mastered the power of the Lingguan and the military, which is the so-called acting on behalf of the master in charge of some of the responsibilities. If the Chief Deputy Palace Master is temporarily photographed, it means that Qi Xuansu alone controls more than half of the power of the Borneo Taoist Palace. He only occupies two corners of the so-called triangle, and two and a half of the four corners. The real power in his hands is almost half of the power. The real person in charge of the army.

If Jinque didn't want to parachute a chief deputy palace master over, after all, the new person was unfamiliar with the situation, and still wanted Qi Xuansu to take the lead, then he would have to promote a second deputy palace master on the spot. Of course, the second deputy palace master will not be airborne. If he is going to be airborne, it is better to directly parachute the chief deputy palace master, that is, to promote one person from among the deputy palace masters.

Qi Xuansu thought about this and asked, "How long have I slept?"

Xiao Yin said a little uncertainly: "About three days, maybe four days. You were sleeping when I came. Counting from the day I came, you have slept for two days and two nights."

Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief. It wouldn't be long, so the situation wouldn't change much.

However, whether it is three days or four days, it is enough for Jinque to respond.

At this moment, Zhang Yuelu walked in: "Tian Yuan

, you finally woke up. "

"Why are you here?" Qi Xuansu asked, "Did Jinque transfer you to be the chief deputy palace master?"

Zhang Yuelu shook his head and said: "I don't have the qualifications. I'm here in the name of investigating the case this time, and I won't stay for too long."

Qi Xuansu asked: "Who is in charge of the situation now?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "It's Xu Fuli."

Qi Xuansu nodded.

This is reasonable. Xu Jiaorong has been rooted in the Borneo Taoist government for many years. He is familiar with the situation and has the support of two spiritual officials. It is not difficult to temporarily stabilize the situation.

Qi Xuansu asked again: "How is the situation outside?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "Every party is very quiet. Wang Jiaohe did not make any special moves. He still showed up as the real person in charge of the government as usual, stabilizing the government, appeasing local gangsters, convening Taoist meetings to discuss the aftermath. Regarding Chen Shuhua's matter, Jinque has given the definition of rebellion."

Rebellion is equivalent to treason. It is a serious crime of treason in the court and can punish the Nine Clans.

Of course, Taoist sects that claim to be civilized will not act so violently, but the consequences are also very serious. Chen Shuhua must die, there is no room for discussion. In terms of nature, it is even more serious than the ancient immortal, because the ancient immortal is the enemy, and Chen Shuhua is the traitor. He eats the food of the Taoist sect and smashes the pot of the Taoist sect. The ancient immortals do not eat the food of the Taoist sect.

However, chasing down Chen Shuhua is not an easy task. Regardless of whether Master Lan can recover, the Taoist sect will probably send a Master Pingzhang to carry immortal objects to take charge of this matter. Of course, Master Pingzhang is not alone, but He will lead a multi-person team, accompanied by pseudo-immortals, gods and beings, and even "Yinglong", who will be among the people.

There will be an absolute advantage in numbers, and the main one is to bully the few with more, in order to be foolproof.

If necessary, the Third Division may also take action personally.

No matter what, there is no need for Qi Xuansu to worry about it.

Qi Xuansu finally asked: "What about the vacant chief deputy palace master?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "Jinque's special envoy has arrived, you can ask her."

During the period when Qi Xuansu was in coma, it was enough for Jinque to send people to Borneo.

Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered something: "Where is Qiniang?"

Zhang Yuelu's face showed no expression, and his tone did not fluctuate: "He has left."

Qi Xuansu was a little disappointed.

Qiniang didn't seem to like saying goodbye, and always left quietly, just as she came quietly, waving her sleeves, and leaving not even half of the peace money.

However, Zhang Yuelu's abnormal reaction also made Qi Xuansu realize a problem. He hesitated and asked tentatively: "Have you met Qiniang?"

Zhang Yuelu asked: "What do you think?"

Qi Xuansu sighed: "That means I have already seen it."

Zhang Yuelu said nothing, Quan acquiesced.

Qi Xuansu asked again: "How do you feel now?"

"I feel nothing." Zhang Yuelu shook his head and said, "I have imagined countless times about the meeting between the two of us, but to be honest, this meeting is still a bit unexpected."

Qi Xuansu became interested and asked, "What should I say?"

This time it was Zhang Yuelu's turn to sigh: "I thought the Qiniang you mentioned was a very stubborn person, even a little vulgar and greedy..."

Qi Xuansu quickly interrupted: "I never said that, nor did I hint it. I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Yuelu glanced at him and continued

He continued: "But after we actually met, I found that Qiniang is not as miserable as you said."

Qi Xuansu said: "Zhang Qingxiao, I warn you again, don't slander me. I have never said that."

Zhang Yuelu ignored Qi Xuansu and said to himself: "In my opinion, Qiniang is a bit cynical, and she is the kind of person that the Fifth Generation Grand Master hates the most, so the Taoist sect cannot tolerate her, and she does not like the atmosphere and environment of the Taoist sect. It is inevitable to leave the Taoist sect. However, the fact that she has reached the point where she is today after leaving the Taoist sect shows her strong ability. In time, she will definitely become another Jin Gong Patriarch. "

Qi Xuansu said: "I think so too, it's just that you misunderstood."

Zhang Yuelu said: "I talked about you with Qiniang. I don't understand why Qiniang insists on letting you stay..."

At this point, Zhang Yuelu paused suddenly, then glanced at Xiao Yin who was eavesdropping with his ears raised, and ordered: "Xiao Yin, go and guard outside and don't let anyone in."

Xiao Yin reluctantly agreed and walked out obediently.

Seeing this scene, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh.

This is the majesty of "mother", which is far from comparable to "Lao Qi".

After Xiao Yin left, Zhang Yuelu continued: "Letting you stay in the Qingping Society will be harmful to your future. Qiniang obviously understood this when she insisted on letting you return to Taoism and go to Tiangang Hall. But why did she Want to do this?”

Qi Xuansu's face gradually became serious.

This is something he has never figured out.

Qiniang would not make such a stupid mistake, saying that Master Cihang and Zhang Yuelu were going to take him away from her was more like an excuse. together

Xuansu does not belong to anyone. Even if he marries Zhang Yuelu, he will not disown Qiniang. Qiniang understands this best. She keeps shouting about marrying a wife and forgetting her mother all day long. It is more of a joke. In fact, she does not know it in her heart. Don't take it seriously.

Qi Xuansu asked: "What did Qiniang say?"

Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu: "Qiniang didn't answer me directly. She only said it was related to the leader of the Qingping Association."
