Pawn Crossing the River

When Qi Xuansu was holding a Taoist meeting in Shenglong Mansion, Zhang Yuelu returned to Lion City alone, leaving Ke Qingqing with Qi Xuansu. After all, the main responsibility of Zhang Yuelu, the second deputy palace master, is to investigate the case. The case has almost been investigated and the person has been arrested. The next step is mainly to interrogate the case. In this regard, there are professionals from Fengxiantang and Beichentang, and even There is no need for Zhang Yuelu to take action personally. Naturally, there will be more Ke Qingqing and less Ke Qingqing. After all, Ke Qingqing is not specialized in this.

On the contrary, on Qi Xuansu's side, the Chief Deputy Palace Master was involved in many substantive matters, such as the reorganization of Nanyang United Trading Company, the aftermath of the typhoon, etc. These things were very time-consuming and energy-consuming, and Qi Xuansu really needed a helper.

It can be regarded as letting Ke Qingqing relax and not have to run in both directions.

After Zhang Yuelu returned to Lion City, he first visited Lin Yuanmiao who was injured on duty, and then took over Tianfu Palace.

In name, of course, it’s guidance. This must comply with the procedures. She only makes suggestions and will not give direct orders. The specific order is given by Xie Jiaofeng. It’s up to you to listen or not, and it’s up to me to speak or not.

Xiao Yin and Xie Jiaofeng were not so happy.

The easy-to-talk Lao Qi is gone, and the hard-to-talk Lao Zhang is here. The good days are over.

As for Xie Jiaofeng, he has a similar mentality. Zhang Cixi is not easy to deal with. This has almost spread among the upper echelons of the Taoist sect. It is quite the legacy of the five generations of great masters. Although it is suspected of exaggeration, it can also be seen that this Zhang Cixi is really not a "good guy" and is not easy to serve.

When Zhang Yuelu comes back this time, Wang Jiaoyan is still second, and the key is Chen Jianqiu.

Regardless of the interests of the Zhang family or the overall situation of Qi Xuansu, Chen Jianqiu cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of Wang Jiaohe.

So she repeatedly told Yu Hengxing to protect Chen Jianqiu.

In fact, even if Zhang Yuelu hadn't said anything, the Yuheng Star Master would have done it. After all, everyone is a member of the Ziguang Society, and Chen Jianqiu's status is quite special. After Qi Xuansu appointed her to succeed the leader of the Dayu Kingdom, she has become a special person who directly belongs to the Ziguang True Monarch. Members are not subordinates of the Yuheng Star Master.

This is actually a hidden danger. If True Lord Ziguang uses Chen Jianqiu's identity to cause any trouble, such as stealing dragon energy, Qi Xuansu will be held responsible. But under the circumstances, Qi Xuansu could only do this.

If one day Qi Xuansu follows in Wang Jiaohe's footsteps, Zhang Xuansu and Li Xuansu will definitely step forward to expose Chen Jianqiu's affairs.

Maybe Xu Jiaorong is Chen Shuhua’s second best. Who can say clearly about this kind of thing?

This is a problem of "potential". If the state of cultivation is not enough, no matter how powerful the magical power is, it will be in vain. Without enough "power", right is also wrong, and wrong is also right.

Now Chen Jianqiu is placed in the residence of the Lord of Yuheng Star. When Qi Xuansu has almost settled the affairs in Shenglong Mansion, he can go back and continue to be the Lord of the country.

Zhang Yuelu did not go to see Chen Jianqiu immediately, but asked Star Master Yuheng to convey her greetings.

After all, Zhang Yuelu is also very busy and has many things to deal with.

When Qi Xuansu received news from Shenglong Mansion, he believed that Wang Jiaohe and his gang might be desperate and took action against Chen Jianqiu. Only then did Zhang Yuelu decide to go and see Chen Jianqiu's situation in person.

However, Zhang Yuelu didn't want to go there in a big way. She changed out of her crane cloak and lotus crown, and put on a pair of lake green casual clothes instead of the more ostentatious red, white or black clothes. She looked like an ordinary Xiaojiabiyu. Then he took Xiao Yin out.

Lin Yuanmiao's condition has improved a lot now. He can take care of himself and does not need Xiao Yin to guard him anymore. What's more, Xiao Yin can't stand loneliness. Ordinary people can still be very quiet and restless. She has been guarding Lin Yuanmiao for so many days, and she can't hold it anymore. If Zhang Yuelu hadn't looked at her, she would have run out and gone crazy. went. If Zhang Yuelu didn't take her with him, then Xiao Yin would slip out as soon as Zhang Yuelu left with his front feet. In this case, it would be better for Zhang Yuelu to take Xiao Yin out with him, lest this ghost girl cause any trouble at this time.

The Lord of Yuheng Star has no fixed residence, or in other words, she has her residence in every major district of Lion City. Now the Lord of Yuheng Star lives in the northwest district. Although the jade dragons are mixed here, in a sense, it is easier to hide. .

Zhang Yuelu and Xiao Yin came to the northwest district at night. The streets here were criss-crossed, and they seemed to be walking in a maze. From time to time, they would encounter drunks or beggars. Naturally, Xiao Yin would take part in solving the problem, and she didn't have to do anything. , as long as you open your mouth wide and grin from the corner of your mouth to your ears, you can make a drunkard sober up and a beggar have a good sleep.

Zhang Yuelu was in a good mood today and joked: "I shouldn't call you Yin Dabai, I should call you Yin Dazui."

Xiao Yin heard that the words were not good, and was frightened by Zhang Yuelu's female power and did not dare to confront him head-on. He could only express his dissatisfaction with a soft snort.

Soon, the two crossed several more rivers. The rivers were also full of boats spending the night, and finally came to a dark alley.

At the end of the alley, there is a two-story Western-style building. There is also a large garden with green grass outside. This is the residence of the Yuheng Star Master.

Just as Zhang Yuelu was about to go in, Xiao Yin suddenly reached out and stopped her: "He has murderous intent!"

Zhang Yuelu was startled and did not move forward.

Because Xiao Yin has a special physique and a keen "sense of smell" that even Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are inferior to. If she says she has murderous intent, that means she has murderous intent.

In fact, she should be sent to Dongposuo Continent to find Lin Tianhe. Maybe she can stand up to both Yao Pei and Xu Jiaorong.

Zhang Yuelu asked softly: "How much murderous intention is there?"

Xiao Yin gestured with her hands and replied: "Bigger than me, bigger than you, and bigger than Lao Qi."

Zhang Yuelu shuddered, that was at least a heavenly being, or even a pseudo-immortal.

Could it be that Wu Guangbi has returned to the Lion City?

Zhang Yuelu quickly rejected this idea.

Wu Guangbi had his heart and liver taken out by Madam Bai. He was not a martial artist who had refined his physique to the extreme, nor was he an alchemist who despised his physique to the extreme. If he was neither good nor bad, he was destined to be unable to recover in such a short period of time. Moreover, the situation has changed. Li Tianzhen is gone and Li Changge is here. Even if Wu Guangbi has any special means to recover from his injuries, it is impossible to wade into troubled waters at this time.

Since it wasn't Wu Guangbi, it couldn't be Wang Jiaohe who came in person.

This is also unlikely. As the real person in charge of the government, Wang Jiaohe has too many eyes staring at him. Even real person Jiang Da will occasionally look at him. Moreover, he is on the cusp of the storm, so it is even less likely that he will come to the Lion City quietly.

Who is it?

At this time, in the second-story building, Star Master Yuheng, who was sitting on the sofa, was confronting an old man.

Star Master Yuheng is still the same. Like Chen Jianqiu, she has Western ancestry. Her black curly hair is scattered like waves. Her purple eyes are in sharp contrast with her scarlet lips. She wears a white shirt with an open collar and a black Wearing a dark gold-patterned vest, black velvet trousers, and shiny black leather high-heeled boots, he was sitting on the sofa with his two thighs crossed, making his legs even more slender.

There was a faint smell of lilac on her body, and her right hand wearing a ruby ​​ring held a goblet with bright red wine in it. She was gently shaking the wine glass, and the candlelight reflected through the red wine swaying in the wine glass, flickering on and off her face, which was half covered by black curly hair.

The old man standing opposite her did not show his true face. He was dressed in black and wore a bronze mask. Only his pale hair could be seen.

This is not surprising. Realm cultivation is accumulated over time. Generally speaking, the older you are, the higher your cultivation level is. The Taoist sect only restricts the rejuvenation of youth. It strictly prohibits turning into a boy or a teenager at a young age, but it does not restrict how old you are. In traditional cognition, old age and virtue are usually connected together. Xianfeng Tao Bones also tend to have the image of white hair and white beards. Therefore, many people simply show themselves as white-haired old men. Whenever the Taoist sect holds a general meeting, at a glance, there are many gray hairs, at least half of them.

In the world of martial arts, many seniors want to be dignified, but also want to be able to switch between being dignified and kind. They usually choose the image of an old man.

Yes, for those who have reached a certain level of cultivation, image can be chosen, and it is not a difficult task. The martial artist can even change his face and physical features, so it is difficult to tell anything just from a head of white hair.

"What's the point of your distinguished guest's visit late at night?" Star Master Yuheng was not very nervous and did not dare to underestimate the enemy.

The voice of the old man in black was also muffled, as if it were the voices of many people overlapping together: "I hope the Star Lord will forgive me for coming here late at night. I came here because I want to ask the Star Lord for someone."

Star Master Yuheng laughed and said, "I'm an uninvited guest, asking for someone. Is the person you're asking for surnamed Chen?"

"The Star Master is smart and can be revealed at a glance." The old man also laughed.

Star Master Yuheng said: "You want to find Chen Shuhua, but I can't do anything. Chen Xianren Shenlong has seen her head but not her tail. I can't find her. I can't help you. Please come back, distinguished guest."

The old man in black snorted coldly: "I advise Star Master not to talk nonsense, you know who the person I want is."

Star Master Yuheng took a sip of red wine and lightly opened his red lips: "I really don't know. I hope you can give me some advice."

The old man in black said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll be honest. I want to ask the Lord of Yuheng Star to hand over Chen Jianqiu to me, the Lord of Dayu Kingdom, Chen Jianqiu."

"It turns out it's her." Star Master Yuheng said, pretending to be surprised, "What do you want her for? This person is exactly what I should be using. You can find another one."

The old man in black did not speak and made his attitude clear.

Star Master Yuheng continued: "If I don't make friends, what are you going to do?"

The man in black said in a solemn tone: "Then I can only see the real chapter under my hands."

This time it was Star Master Yuheng's turn to remain silent.

But just because she doesn't speak doesn't mean she doesn't move.

Star Master Yuheng still held the wine glass with his right hand, pierced the pad of his left index finger with the nail of his left thumb, and then used his index finger as a pen and blood as ink to draw a talisman in the void.
