Pawn Crossing the River

The first thing Qi Xuansu did was to deal with the Holy Court's accusations, which was a routine matter. After all, this matter is essentially a fault of the Holy Court, and everyone is just pretending to be confused.

The titles of the representatives of the Holy Court are very long, such and such a descendant, a certain lord, a certain guardian, a certain ruler, a certain conqueror, a certain breaker, a certain breaker, a certain princess, a certain lady, A certain queen, a certain mother, and then a series of names and surnames, which are more than ten bytes long. I want to stuff all the surnames and names of eight generations of ancestors plus the ancestral home into it.

Qi Xuansu didn't remember any of them and didn't take it seriously.

He can also follow this format and become the killer of Fengtai County, the witness of Tso Wenbu, the protector of Yishan City, the savior of Shenglong Palace, the guardian of Nanyang, the ruler of Lion City, and the True Monarch of Purple Light. The favored person, the inheritor of the ancient witchcraft religion, the strong contender for the eighth-generation master, the loyal friend of Suzuka Mountain, the guardian of the imperial capital, the chief hero of the eighth-generation disciples who conquered Fenglinzhou, the youngest second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest in the Taoist sect, the third The second young Taoist priest of the third grade Youyi, the future Taoist companion of the legendary Zhang Yuelu, the hope of the Qingping Society, the potential enemy of the Buddha, the chief deputy head of the Borneo Taoist Palace, Xuan Su, Tian Yuan, Wei Wugui, Yao, Qi, from Wanxiang Dao Palace.

What's this? It's totally meant to scare people. It's similar to the nicknames in the world of martial arts: dragon crossing the river, tiger descending the mountain, golden dart overwhelming the green forest, and one sword holding the south of the Yangtze River.

As for princesses and queens, since the collapse of the Great Qin Kingdom in Anxi, there have been many small countries in the West. These princesses and queens are not very valuable. Of course, the so-called queen cannot be equal to Emperor Daxuan. Take Dayu State as an example. Qi Xuansu just supported A queen is really nothing.

So Qi Xuansu only remembered one name, Marianne.

Horse girl.

Unlike Maginot, Marianne represented the Holy Court. Her official identity was a cardinal deacon with a church and many followers in Southeast Asia.

The cardinal corresponds to the golden palace, and the cardinal deacon is equivalent to an ordinary real person.

In the past, there were no high-ranking women in the Holy Court. It was not until a goddess appeared that this rule was completely broken, and women could also join the senior ranks of the Holy Court. Except, of course, the Pope.

In terms of status, she and Qi Xuansu are equal.

Qi Xuansu met the blond lady at Tianfu Palace, patiently listened to the lady's long complaint, and then responded politely to the lady. The Taoist sect had already mastered enough evidence and now has one hundred and twenty-three confessions. There is also a lot of physical evidence, including some photos, which is by no means a case of persecution without evidence. There is enough evidence to point out that the members on this boat were the masterminds behind the riots in the Lion City. They provided money to those who caused the chaos. Moreover, the people on the boat have pleaded guilty and should face trial.

Marianne's protest was not only routine, but also a bit of a gamble. If Daomen arrested people without evidence, then she might be able to get an explanation. Now seeing that Dao Sect is fully prepared, naturally they can only return in anger.

After sending Marian away, Qi Xuansu summoned Li Zhuyu and asked how it was going.

Li Zhuyu did not disappoint Qi Xuansu. Such a big thing cannot be done by the Holy Court family. There must be someone who cooperates inside and outside, and this kind of head-turning thing must be kept secret, so not too many people can know about it. In this way, there are less obstructions and fewer links.

Li Zhuyu said: "According to the accounts of those Westerners, the person responsible for contacting them is named Chen Feixue, whose real name is Chen Jianzi. This person is a remote branch of the Dayu clan. He left Shenglong Mansion with his family in his early years and moved to Lion City. Joined the Goddess Association under the Holy Court in Lion City."

"The Society of the Goddess is one of the main religious orders of the Holy See. It follows the discipline of the military and strictly formulates its rules. In addition to strictly abiding by the three vows of 'absolute wealth', 'absolute beauty' and 'absolute will', members should also be unconditionally loyal to the Pope and carry out his appointments. All tasks. In order to facilitate the penetration into all walks of life, he canceled professional services, stopped living in churches, and carried out various secret activities through preaching and teaching, opening church schools, hospitals, holding official positions, or being a confessor for various local princes. "

"As early as the Wei Dynasty, priests from the Goddess Society came to the Central Plains. Under their instigation, many scholar-bureaucrats and even Yuge Lao converted to the Holy Court and adopted the slogan of 'complementing Confucianism and changing Buddhism'. Even some of them Priests also held official positions in the Wei Dynasty. By the end of the Wei Dynasty, more than one-fifth of the Goddess Society priests had taken root in the Central Plains. After the founding of Daxuan, these Goddess Society priests were expelled, but they were still active in Nanyang and Feng. Linzhou and other places. We suspect that Marianne is the leader of the local goddess association."

"Although Chen Jianzi secretly joined the Goddess Society, he kept it secret. After changing his name to Chen Feixue, he still showed himself as a Taoist boy publicly. With the secret support of the Goddess Society, Chen Jianzi became a famous wealthy businessman active in the Lion City because Because of her good looks, she is known as the 'most beautiful businessman in the Lion City'."

"Chen Jianzi is a person who works hard to make profits. A few years ago, she and a group of businessmen vigorously advocated the so-called parliamentary system, demanding that the Nanting Protectorate evacuate the Lion City, return government to the people, and follow the example of Westerners in forming a parliament. , and they jointly participate in political affairs as representatives of public opinion, and it seems that there should be support from the Goddess Association and even the Holy Court."

"We judge that Chen Jianzi should act as an intermediary between the Holy Court and the traitors within the Taoist government, helping to bridge the gap and cooperate inside and outside. As for who Chen Jianzi is connecting with on the other side, we are still investigating. But we have arranged manpower. We will monitor Chen Jianzi closely and prevent him from escaping, and we will arrest him as soon as possible."

After listening to this, Qi Xuansu said: "If this can be confirmed, then it is not just an internal struggle. People can connect with foreign countries and punish them. Even if we don't want to be messengers of justice, we have to do it."

These words are explicit, and under normal circumstances, it is not appropriate to say this. Li Zhuyu was a little unsure of Qi Xuansu's intentions for a while. Was she treating her as one of his own? Or did you accidentally say what was on your mind? Judging from Qi Xuansu's various behaviors when he arrived in Nanyang, he was by no means the kind of person who didn't know what was important and what shouldn't be said.

Li Zhuyu could only nod and said: "That's it."

Qi Xuansu added: "Speaking of internal struggles, to put it bluntly, our internal struggles have always been cruel, and we should be lenient if we anticipate the enemy. Do you think there is a chance that Chen Jianzi will be silenced?"

Li Zhuyu's face turned solemn: "It is indeed possible."

At this time, she did not dare to make a guarantee rashly. The water in Lion City was very deep, and even Qi Xuansu could be assassinated in the street. She could guarantee that Chen Jianzi could not escape, but she could not guarantee Chen Jianzi's safety.

Qi Xuansu said: "Consider whether you can control Chen Jianzi first and move her to a safe place."

At this moment, a Beichen Hall leader walked in quickly, glanced at Qi Xuansu, and hesitated to speak.

Li Zhuyu said in a deep voice: "Say."

The manager wiped the sweat that had broken out: "Just now, Chen Jianzi escaped."

Li Zhuyu turned around suddenly: "What's going on?"

She had just promised to control Chen Jianzi in front of Qi Xuansu, and she was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye. How could she not be angry.

The chief said cautiously: "Someone attacked Chen Jianzi's house. The scene was quite chaotic at that time. Our spiritual officers and the men in black from the Nanting Protectorate fought fiercely with the thieves. After repelling the thieves, we discovered that Chen Jianzi had escaped. ”

Li Zhuyu's face looked ugly.

Qi Xuansu asked: "Did these people pretend to attack to create an opportunity for Chen Jianzi to escape? Or did Chen Jianzi adapt to the situation and take advantage of this emergency to escape?"

Naturally, the boss couldn’t answer.

Li Zhuyu said: "If it's the former and the planning is sophisticated, then Chen Jianzi has probably escaped from the Lion City. If it's the latter, Chen Jianzi just made it temporarily without any prior preparation, then she is probably still hiding somewhere in the city. place.”

Qi Xuansu said: "I hope it is the second possibility."

At this point, Qi Xuansu suddenly reacted: "I just met Marianne. She actually came to find out. If we don't seize any evidence, then they will stay put for the time being. If we seize the evidence, then they will immediately Silence yourself."

Li Zhuyu was startled for a moment, then said: "The time is right."

Qi Xuansu ordered: "Deputy Hall Master Li, please immediately ask the Nanting Protectorate to send out manpower to help find traces of Chen Jianzi. Let her know that her only way out is to cooperate with us. Only in this way can there be a chance of survival, and those behind her People just want her to die.”

Li Zhuyu took the order and left.

Qi Xuansu thought for a while and went to see Zhang Yuelu again.

When it comes to finding people, Men in Black may not be easy to use, but Ziguang Club is better.

When he came to see Zhang Yuelu, he found Xiao Yin being trained here. After all, there was no escape. Zhang Yuelu never spoke harshly when he was training people, nor did he chant sutras. Instead, he "tortured" people slowly and softly. Xiao Yin couldn't refuse to listen, because she really didn't want to be sent back to the cave of the ghost country. Naturally, she was tortured all the time. People are like cabbages beaten by frost, wilting.

Seeing Qi Xuansu come in, Xiao Yin immediately became energetic.

For her now, Qi Xuansu is her savior.

Just when Xiao Yin was about to throw herself into Lao Qi's arms, Zhang Yuelu's eyes had already glanced over: "Who told you to move? Stand still."

Xiao Yin could only stand against the wall reluctantly.

Qi Xuansu didn't speak for Xiao Yin this time. Firstly, he had something serious to do, and secondly, he was afraid of getting burned.

Qi Xuansu roughly told what happened. Before Zhang Yuelu could reply, Xiao Yin had already volunteered: "Leave such a small matter to me. As long as I smell her scent, I can definitely find her."

Qi Xuansu said suspiciously: "Are you a dog-nosed person?"

Xiao Yin said: "Don't look down on others. As long as I am willing, I can distinguish all the smells within a radius of ten miles."

"I underestimated you." Qi Xuansu didn't expect such an unexpected surprise. Although he knew that Xiao Yin wanted to take this opportunity to go out and play, Qi Xuansu didn't mind helping Xiao Yin to get her out of Zhang Yuelu's clutches.

Qi Xuansu could see it, and Zhang Yuelu could also see it, and said: "Fellow Daoist Xiao Yin, if you want to make meritorious deeds, we have no objection. If you can really find this person, I'll let you play for three days, and I'll give you a thousand peace coins." , but if you are playful and cause trouble, we will not be lenient."

Qi Xuansu had already rebelled against the camp and echoed: "Yes, this is a big deal, you have to issue a military order."

Xiao Yin patted her chest and said, "As long as she is still in the Lion City, I promise to find her within three days. If she cannot be found, you will send me back to grandpa."
