Pawn Crossing the River

As the old saying goes, it is precisely because it is difficult that you can see your true abilities. Anyone can do something well. Doing it well is not considered a meritorious service, but a matter of one's duty. It is considered hard work to break through the sky. Only when things are done poorly by others can they be considered meritorious and meritorious.

Qi Xuansu thought about it carefully for a long time, but still felt that it would be a headache no matter what.

As a member of Quanzhen Taoism, Qi Xuansu naturally wanted to ask Master Donghua for his opinion, even if it was symbolic.

Of course Qi Xuansu does not have to report, and no one stipulates that he must report. In terms of his position, he does not have a strict subordinate relationship with Master Donghua. As long as it involves factional disputes, his every move will be interpreted by others. The interpretation of not reporting it is that Qi Xuansu has other ideas and wants to change his family. Even if Master Donghua doesn't think so, there will be others who think so, which will cause confusion.

Master Qingwei's words "Don't rush to reply and think about it carefully when you go back" also have this meaning, leaving enough time for Qi Xuansu to ask for instructions and report.

So Qi Xuansu met Donghua Zhenren again and gave a detailed report in the signing room.

Qi Xuansu naturally reported it truthfully, repeating his conversation with Master Qingwei verbatim. This is also the reason why Qi Xuansu deliberately changed the subject when it came to Ziweitang. If he agreed with Qingwei at that time, should he not say it now? Having said that, Master Donghua’s reaction was unpredictable. If you don't say it, you are hiding something. Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.

After listening to Qi Xuansu's report, Master Donghua was not surprised at all - even Qi Xuansu had heard the rumors, so there was no reason why Master Donghua would not know about it.

Master Donghua asked, "Were you and Li Zhiqing the only ones present at that time?"

Qi Xuansu replied, "Yes, Master Qingwei's secretary Shen Yuqing is just guarding the door."

Master Donghua was silent for a moment and then asked, "When did you receive the notice?"

Qi Xuansu said, "This morning, it was very sudden..."

Qi Xuansu deliberately stopped, but Master Donghua did not answer. The silence in the signing room became a bit scary, and the pressure rose sharply.

It's just that Qi Xuansu was not the seventh-grade Taoist priest back then. He didn't say anything and just bore it.

The silence lasted for quite some time;

Master Donghua was not angry. Instead, he showed an approving smile and took the initiative to break the silence. "After all, he is a person who has experienced life and death. It is good to be calm. As an aside, I also asked Jianyuan this way back then. I After the first silence, which lasted only a few breaths, he couldn't hold it anymore and started to speak. I still didn't speak, and there were two more silences, and then he started talking like beans in a bamboo tube. At Daomen

\u003c/di\u003e

, you must learn to be calm and able to hide your words. Don’t tell the second person what only one person should know, and don’t tell the third person what only two people should know. Say what you should say, but keep it in your heart what you shouldn't say. Don't hold anything back just because you are your senior boss. This is not good. "

These are some words of experience that go beyond the scope of superiors and subordinates. Qi Xuansu said solemnly, "I have written it down."

Master Donghua continued, "Master Qingwei's proposal is a double-edged sword. My attitude is between two options. The key depends on your own thoughts."

Qi Xuansu said, "I think... although the risk is high, it's worth a try."

"Even if you risk your own future?" Master Donghua looked at Qi Xuansu.

"The word 'gamble' sounds unpleasant, but that's what it's all about." Qi Xuansu patted the table lightly, "Betting on one's fate is also betting on the development of the general trend. Everything in the world , Who can really be sure? If you are 50% sure about something, you can try it.”

Master Donghua smiled and said, "It's like competing for a master. No one is 100% sure. It doesn't have to be 50%. As long as you have three or four achievements, you can give it a try."

Qi Xuansu asked tentatively, "Did the real person agree?"

"I have no other opinions." Master Donghua leaned back in his chair and waited for Qi Xuansu's next words. This time it was not about exerting pressure, but about the restraint of an elder.

Naturally, Qi Xuansu would not bear it any more and said slowly, "After I agree to Master Qingwei's conditions, I will also formally report to Master Qingwei about Qi Haoran."

Master Donghua nodded slightly, "Okay, you go and report."

There is no need to say everything, there is no need for Qi Xuansu to say more. The reason why Master Donghua agreed so happily was because he needed Qi Xuansu to go to Master Qingwei to proactively report things about Qi Haoran. Only by passing this level first, can he continue Things will fall into place naturally.

Qi Xuansu stood up and said goodbye.

He met Zhang Yuelu again and "reported" the situation to Zhang Yuelu.

Well, notification.

As Zhang Yuelu said, it doesn't matter what she thinks. What matters is the attitude of the real people.

Now that the attitude of Master Qingwei and Master Donghua has been decided, it means that the result has been decided, so naturally they will report a result instead of asking for her opinion.

And strictly speaking, Qi Xuansu had already asked for Zhang Yuelu's opinion before meeting Qingwei Zhenren, and Zhang Yuelu did give her opinion, so there was no need to ask for advice a second time.

Zhang Yuelu also expected this, but said, "Since you have decided to go to the New World, you must be fully prepared. Everything else is illusory, and the safety of your life is real."

After going around in another circle, Qi Xuansu found Master Qingwei again the next day and expressed his willingness to take on this important task.

Master Qingwei couldn't help but praise Qi Xuansu for knowing the general situation, considering the overall situation, etc.

Qi Xuansu took advantage of the situation and formally reported Qi Haoran's affairs to Qingwei Zhenren - not a verbal report, but a written material. This was written by Qi Xuansu after staying up all night last night. He carefully considered every word and every sentence, and finally asked Zhang Yuelu to help check it. The two studied it together for a long time, striving to make it watertight. The other person was Hongxiu Tianxiang studying at night, while Qi Xuansu was immersed in researching and writing reports together. They wrote more than a dozen drafts, which was a different kind of Taoist romance.

At the same time, Qi Xuansu also sent a copy to Donghua Zhenren. Issues involving Taoist priests, rather than simple secret association issues, are usually jointly investigated by Ziweitang and Beichen Hall, but Beichen Hall is the main one.

In this way, with the records of Ziweitang and Donghua Zhenren, it also eliminates the possibility of Qingwei Zhenren not admitting his account afterwards. Although this possibility is very small, it must be guarded against.

This reporting time may not be the best, but it is not bad. After all, Master Qingwei has just decided to use Qi Xuansu and praised Qi Xuansu, so it is hard to fall out immediately. It is better to use the skill of "face changing" sparingly. If you use it too much and spread it, it will be very detrimental to your reputation. Many times, it is best to be wise and foolish. Everyone knows you are smart, but that may not necessarily mean you are smart. Instead, it is a rather negative baggage. Especially the big shots will pay more attention to this.

Master Qingwei was not surprised after reading Qi Xuansu's report.

Don’t forget that Beichen Hall is still responsible for part of the defense of Yujing. Especially when the line of great masters is weakening, Beichen Hall’s real power has further expanded. What can be hidden from Beichen Hall’s eyes inside and outside Yujing? Master Qingwei is the leader of Beichen Hall.

The report about Qi Xuansu's night break into the Requiem Division has long been placed on the desk of Zhenren Qingwei. Although Xu Jiaorong warned the Taoist priests of the Requiem Division, Xu Jiaorong was only a powerful figure in the local Taoist government after all. How could he compare? As the current manager of Shang Beichen Hall, as long as Beichen Hall wants to investigate, there is nothing that cannot be found out.

Although Qingwei Zhenren doesn’t know Qi Haoran’s

\u003c/di\u003e

The tomb was empty, and no one knew about the military dissolution, but Qi Xuansu's desire to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy could not be concealed from Qingwei Zhenren.

However, Master Qingwei didn't make a fuss about this matter. Firstly, he didn't know the results of the autopsy. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Beichen Hall couldn't dig the grave to verify it. Secondly, Master Qingwei still wanted to use Qi Xuansu and did not want to make a fuss. His silent attitude after receiving the report made many people in Beichen Hall who were trying to figure out what was going on do not dare to act rashly.

At any time, don't act smart, let alone act on your own in the name of solving your boss's problems before finding out the true attitude of your superiors. In fact, it is to find out the attitude of the boss. If it is not to please the boss, then there is no need to express yourself too much. If there are unpredictable consequences, without proof in black and white, who will be responsible?

Now after reading Qi Xuansu's report, Master Qingwei has figured out a lot of things. It turns out that this is why Qi Xuansu opened the coffin and performed the autopsy. He also understood that after Qi Xuansu reported it, it meant that Qi Xuansu had made up for the flaw, causing others to lose the opportunity to make a fuss.

However, Qingwei Zhenren does not regret it. This is an exchange in itself.

Master Qingwei put down the written report and in front of Qi Xuansu, he marked a line on the report with a red pen.

Because the Eastern writing habit is from right to left and top to bottom, the vertical direction is called "rows" and the horizontal direction is called "columns". For example, if there are two lines of "hot tears", the tears will flow vertically, not horizontally. There is also a row of egrets rising up into the blue sky, also standing vertically.

The writing habit of the West is to write horizontally, so the west happens to be opposite to the east. The horizontal direction is "row" and the vertical direction is "column". Many people are influenced by the West and often confuse the difference between rows and columns.

This line is written vertically, "Please ask Zuo Jiasi to find out as soon as possible." Then there is another line, which is the signature and date of Master Qingwei.

Then Master Qingwei called Shen Yuqing in and handed the report to Shen Yuqing, "Save the original and forward the copy to Deputy Hall Master Lu for quick processing."

"Yes." Shen Yuqing responded and exited with the report.

This is undoubtedly an attitude.

The next thing was that Master Qingwei exercised his right of suggestion as the master of the hall and proposed to Jinque that Qi Xuansu should be the chief deputy chief of Beichen Hall. Then Jinque discussed and approved it and officially dismissed Qi Xuansu as the chief deputy of the Borneo Taoist House. Qi Xuansu was officially appointed as the chief deputy of Beichen Hall.

Hall master.

Because it would take some time to go through the procedure, all Qi Xuansu had to do was wait for the notification with peace of mind.
