Pawn Crossing the River

In the competition among the top leaders of the Taoist sect, hard work can be said to be the least worth mentioning. This does not mean that hard work is not important, but that hard work is the most basic prerequisite. No one can become a great leader easily. Even the proud men like Li Changge and Yao Pei are no exception. If you don’t work hard, there are still Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, there are many people who work hard.

In Western terms, it is excessive competition, also known as "involution."

Of course, this is not appropriate. In the face of the supreme power, no amount of competition can be said to be excessive.

Of course Qi Xuansu works hard. He basically doesn't have much free time. The last time he went to the theater with Zhang Yuelu was a few years ago. At that time, he was just an ordinary seventh-grade Taoist priest.

There are many reasons why Master Donghua appreciates Qi Xuansu. One of them is that Qi Xuansu can endure this boredom. He deals with various affairs during the day and practices or reads and studies at night. He basically has no time for entertainment and does not pursue pleasure. This is quite rare.

It was past midnight, and Qi Xuansu was still sitting behind the desk, holding a file in his hand and looking very solemn.

This is the latest case file sent from Lion City through the "Xun Fu Array" not long ago. It is written by Li Zhuyu and marked as top secret.

The first page of the case file only contains the four characters "Lin Qingcheng File". Lin Qingcheng is Wang Jiaoying's secretary, and his case file means that he has finally recruited someone.

If the secretary is arrested, then most of the service recipients of the secretary will not be able to escape either. Qi Xuansu and Chen Jianchou are in the minority after all.

This means that Qi Xuansu can prepare to arrest Wang Jiaoying.

With Wang Jiaoyan and Wang Jiaoying both arrested, Wang Jiaohe became truly alone.

Qi Xuansu put down this file and picked up the second file. The first page of this file had the four characters "Wu Pingrong Volume" written on it.

This kind of case is like a dam. As long as a gap opens, it is only a matter of time before it completely collapses.

From this point of view, Li Zhuyu is still capable of doing things.

After reading the two files, Qi Xuansu combined the files. Finally, Qi Xuansu picked up the latest secret report from Jinque and translated it through "Xuansheng Xiang'er Notes".

Qi Xuansu closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair.

He began to think.

Wu Meirong also confessed. As expected, the person behind Wu Meirong was indeed Guo Yongyan, Wang Jiaohe's current secretary.

If Wang Jiaohe is not Zhenzhi Zhenzhen, but an ordinary Zhenzhen, then with the current evidence, he can be taken down. But since Wang Jiaohe knew the real person, he had to be more strict, or in other words, it had to be an ironclad case so that no one could find fault.

In fact, at this point, even Zhenzhi Zhenren is in a very difficult situation. Family members and secretaries were arrested one after another or were arrested immediately. If Qi Xuansu was in Wang Jiaohe's position, it would probably be equivalent to Qiniang, Zhang Yuelu, Xiao Yin, Chen Jianchou, Lu Yuting, Han Yongfeng and others all being arrested, and even Donghua Zhenren He was also knocked down, and he was the only one left outside. No matter how you looked at it, it was only a matter of time.

Jin Que's secret report agreed to Jiang Dazhen's plan.

Qi Xuansu subconsciously began to use thoughts in his mind to deduce the fight between the two.

It was him and Wang Jiaohe.

But the result was not good. No matter what external means he used, he still lost to Wang Jiaohe despite the huge gap in realm.

After exchanging more than a hundred moves, Wang Jiaohe's hand moved toward Qi Xuansu's face, getting bigger and bigger.

Qi Xuansu was shocked and instinctively opened his eyes. Wang Jiaohe's illusion suddenly disappeared.

Qi Xuansu calmed down and found that the "sound transmission array" on the desk was ringing.

He knew that the person contacting him at this time must be someone who knew him well, and there must be something urgent.

Qi Xuansu opened the "sound transmission array" and said, "It's me, what's the matter?"

The night was very quiet, and the voice from the "sound transmission array" was very clear: "Chief, there is something unusual about Wang Jiaoying."

This voice was the assistant manager of the Tiangang Hall branch. Qi Xuansu entrusted him and a second-grade spiritual officer to closely monitor Wang Jiaoying's movements.

Qi Xuansu was still very calm: "Don't be anxious, speak slowly."

The assistant manager of the branch of Tiangang Hall said: "Yes. Wang Jiaoying plans to leave the Wang family mansion. Judging from his appearance, it seems that he is not leaving temporarily, but wants to leave the city."

Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment, then asked: "Is he alone? Or does he bring his family with him?"

The assistant manager of the branch of Tiangang Hall replied: "Wang Jiaoying only brought his Taoist companion and son, but no other followers. By the way, Wang Jiaoying's son was not the son of his Taoist companion, but of him and an outsider. "But he didn't bring this outer chamber with him."

"I know, you continue to monitor and report at any time." Qi Xuansu did not make a decision immediately. In any case, Wang Jiaoying is still the third deputy palace master, second only to the second deputy palace master. Touching him rashly will have too much impact. .

After Qi Xuansu finished the conversation, he looked at the time on his pocket watch again. It was already past midnight. He just hesitated for a moment and turned on the "sound transmission array" again and said, "Transfer to Yujing Ziweitang."

Because it was the special channel of the Chief Deputy Palace Master, it was quickly connected.

Qi Xuansu said: "Secretary of the Palace? Yes, I am Qi Xuansu... What is Master Qi? Just call me Tianyuan... Don't say Master Tianyuan, just Tianyuan... Have you rested... Yes, there are some things to do." Report to the real person... Yes, it's very late, but the situation is a bit complicated. Well, thank you."

Soon, another voice sounded from the "sound transmission array": "Is it Tianyuan?"

Qi Xuansu's face became solemn: "It's me, real person. I'm sorry to disturb you so late."

Master Donghua said: "It doesn't matter. Have you received Jinque's secret report?"

Qi Xuansu said: "I have received it. Regarding the siege and killing of Chen Shuhua, I believe that Master Jiang Da will not miss it."

Master Donghua said: "How to kill Chen Shuhua is not under our control. How to get rid of the traitor Chen Shuhua at the minimum cost is the matter of Master Jiang Dazhen. We currently need to stabilize the situation in the Borneo Taoist Government, especially to prevent escapes. , defection to the enemy, betrayal, etc. How is the situation there? "

"Yes." Qi Xuansu replied, opening a dossier he compiled, "Lin Qingcheng and Wu Maorong have been breached. Based on the evidence we have, we can confirm that the third deputy master of the Borneo Taoist Palace, Wang Jiaoying, and the chief Guo Yongyan, the secretary of the real person Wang Jiaoying, is involved, and Wang Jiaoying shows signs of fleeing, so I have arranged for people to monitor him closely. "

Master Donghua was silent for a moment.

Naturally, Qi Xuansu couldn't rush and could only wait.

The silence didn't last long, and Master Donghua's voice soon came again: "We can't let Wang Jiaoying escape. If Wang Jiaoying escapes, the impact will be very bad. As for Wang Jiaohe, will I won’t be alarmed by this, or any other reaction, what do you think?”

Qi Xuansu's mind changed rapidly, and he replied thoughtfully: "I don't think it's actually a matter of arousing the enemy. Wang Jiaohe was already frightened when we took down the Nanyang United Trading Company. Wang Jiaohe failed to pass me again." After his secretary defeated me, he should have basically given up all chance. I think Wang Jiaohe has made a decision, and no matter what we do, it will not affect or change his decision. "

Master Donghua on the other side of the "Sound Transmission Array" then asked: "In your opinion, what is Wang Jiaohe's decision?"

Qi Xuansu said: "There is a high probability that Wang Jiaohe will not sit still and wait for death, but he cannot fight to the death. Killing me, Qi Xuansu, will not change anything, so I think Wang Jiaohe will choose to flee. Now, Master Jiang Dazhen will leave tomorrow Shenglong Mansion and the Taoist Mansion will be empty at that time, which is a God-given opportunity for Wang Jiaohe to escape. The only difficulty is that as long as Wang Jiaohe does not really escape, we cannot take action in advance and can only wait until Wang Jiaohe will escape. Only when your decision is put into action can you take action.”

Master Donghua said: "You can't say that. You still have to consider your own personal safety. You can't be careless. Even if you let Wang Jiaohe go, nothing will happen to you. Don't resort to desperate measures. A person becomes a lost dog. Wang Jiaohe is not worth doing this.”

Qi Xuansu did not speak, and expressed his feelings tactfully with silence.

Regardless of whether Master Donghua was pretending or sincerely expressing Qi Xuansu's concerns, Qi Xuansu had to respond. It's just that being frightened and grateful is not Qi Xuansu's style. Qi Xuansu's emotions are always restrained. If they are too artificial, they will appear fake and will be looked down upon by Master Donghua.

Even if utilitarian factors are put aside, Qi Xuansu is still moved. People want what they need. Many people say that Qi Xuansu's pattern is not big. In fact, there is an obvious problem here. Qi Xuansu's growth process obviously lacks something. As a father figure, master Qi Haoran died too early, and Qiniang obviously only played the role of mother. Although Qiniang is sharp and ruthless and has not taught Qi Xuansu to be a rouged young man, men and women are different after all, and there is indeed no obvious pattern in Qiniang. After all, she is arguing with Qi Xuansu every day for a few peace coins. , let’s talk about the pattern, they are not next to each other at all.

On the contrary, it was Master Donghua who made Qi Xuansu truly know what a big shot should be like. Many times, Qi Xuansu is also imitating Donghua Zhenren.

To a certain extent, if Qiniang satisfied Qi Xuansu's imagination for his mother, then Donghua Zhenren satisfied Qi Xuansu's imagination for his father.

Of course, most Taoists have no children, so there is a saying that masters and disciples are like father and son. Whether Donghua Zhenren and Qiniang treat Qi Xuansu as their sons, only they know.

Master Donghua must have made a decision, but he still wanted to ask Qi Xuansu for his opinion, somewhat with the intention of taking a test. This is also a kind of teaching without teaching.

After a moment of silence, Qi Xuansu broke the silence: "Thank you for your concern, Master. I will pay attention."

Master Donghua asked: "What are you going to do?"

Qi Xuansu said: "I want to arrest Wang Jiaoying and Guo Yongyan immediately. If Wang Jiaohe dares to escape, it means Jinque will get rid of him. I have this confidence."

"Very good." Master Donghua's tone revealed relief, "This is what young people should do, dare to think and do. I support your idea."

The conversation is over.

Qi Xuansu said to the door: "Yuzheng."

Chen Jianchou walked in quickly.

Qi Xuansu said in a low and serious voice: "Inform Xu Cixi and Deputy Hall Master Yao that the net can be closed. I want to see Wang Jiaoying in the Nether Prison before dawn."
