Pawn Crossing the River

The next day, Qi Xuansu came to the Morgan Brotherhood again and met Sadie.

Shadi handed a thick brown paper bag to Qi Xuansu: "This is the schedule of Sun Zhongnu and the Gospel Ministry."

Qi Xuansu opened the paper bag, took out the information inside, and glanced at it a few times.

This information is very detailed, a bit like a document. It not only gives a conclusion, but also provides various supporting evidence for why this conclusion was reached. The supporting evidence even comes with corresponding pictures. If the customer does not agree with this conclusion, he can make his own judgment based on the compiled information.

Otherwise, you get what you pay for. For such a big sum of money, the service is really good.

Qi Xuansu sighed: "I'm afraid the Gospel Ministry is not as good as you."

Sadie said: "There is no way. In Eastern terms, the gospel ministry eats public food and can guarantee harvests despite droughts and floods. Naturally, there is no need to work too hard. But our brotherhood is responsible for our own profits and losses. If we do not do well, we will have to drink from the northwest wind. Of course We have to work hard. To put it more seriously, the Gospel Ministry is responsible for the entire New Continent, including the Southern Continent, and it is inevitable that the power will be dispersed. It is easier for our brotherhood to only take care of the one-third of the land in front of us. "

Qi Xuansu smiled: "You speak a lot of Oriental dialects. You have to deal with Orientals a lot, right?"

Sadie smiled and said nothing.

Qi Xuansu didn't go into details, put the information back into the cowhide bag, and decided to study it slowly after going back.

Sadie added: "By the way, this information is timely because the Gospel Ministry plans to transfer Sun Zhongnu to San Francisco on the west coast. I have attached the approximate itinerary."

Sadie specifically emphasized the west coast, because there is a St. Francis Cathedral in St. York, and San Francisco on the west coast is a city. It is also called "Golden Mountain" because of the gold rush, and it is also where Orientals live.

Qi Xuansu's face became solemn: "Why did the Gospel Ministry transfer Sun Zhongnu to San Francisco?"

Shadi replied: "Your Majesty asked knowingly. San Francisco has the largest group of Orientals. The Evangelical Ministry transferred Sun Zhongnu there to continue to screen out heretics and then launch a major purge."

"I understand." Qi Xuansu said no more, stood up and left the place.

After leaving the brotherhood, Qi Xuansu read the information carefully.

He easily determined the place to do it, on the road from St. York to San Francisco.

St. York is on the east coast, and St. Francisco is on the west coast. There is an entire continent between them, and the northern continent has fewer people and more land, and there are too many desolate areas.

In fact, there are many such places in the Central Plains. This was the case when Qi Xuansu was attacked for the first time. Passing the Kunlun Mountain Pass is the boundary of the Kunlun Taoist Mansion, but beyond the Kunlun Mountain Pass there is a large wilderness. There are no Taoist temples, no spiritual officials, and even no human habitation. Then Wu Luo was blown away by the flying boat.

Wu Luo can do it, and Qi Xuansu can do it too.

…

"Sun, after you solve the problem of San Francisco, I will ask the higher authorities to let you be the archbishop. Orientals can also bathe in the grace of the Supreme Will."

"I don't dare to ask for anything. If I can save my life and spend the rest of my life in peace, I will ask for nothing more."….

"Are you worried about the revenge of the Orientals? No need to, we will ensure your safety and the safety of your family."

Sun Zhongnu smiled and said: "There is an old saying in the East: When the birds are gone, a good bow is hidden. When a cunning rabbit dies, the running dogs are cooked. I hope it is the birds that are gone and the bows are hidden, not the rabbits that are killed and the dogs are cooked."

Dennis looked directly at Sun Zhongnu: "Sun, are you doubting my friendship?"

Sun Zhongnu chuckled and shook his head: "Mr. Lopez, I have never doubted your friendship and sincerity, but there is a saying in the East, which is that you can't help yourself. If you want to be a good person, the people above may not You are asked to be a good person, but the people above cannot bear the responsibility. In the end, the people below will have to bear the responsibility. It is just Sun Zhongnu and the name Dennis.

Dennis' eyes softened: "Sun, you don't have to be so pessimistic, you will be a benchmark in the future. Isn't there an old saying in the East, 'He who knows the current affairs is a hero'? We need such heroes very much, and Easterners have them." The allusion between "standing wood at the south gate" and "horse bones bought with a thousand pieces of gold", you are the "standing wood" and "horse bones".

As the exchanges between the East and the West deepen, Easterners can know the Western allusions to the "Beheaded Queen", and Westerners can also know various Eastern allusions. In this regard, no additional explanation is needed. These two examples are still very convincing.

Sun Zhongnu sighed softly and changed the topic: "I was born in Jinling Mansion. Even if you look at the entire east, it is a prosperous place. But my family did not live a very good life. My grandfather gave birth to a child. My father was a filial son, and he did not hesitate to spend all his money to treat his grandfather's illness. As a result, my grandfather suffered from the illness for about half a year and finally passed away. My father not only spent all his family property, but also owed money. He incurred huge debts and had to cross the ocean to the New World.”

"I grew up in the New World. I have lived in St. York as long as I can remember. For me, this is my hometown. But at that time, I didn't understand why I was different from other people. They were hostile to me. "I think I'm a disaster, but I still like it here because I can realize my ideals."

"I don't deny that I like Lao Qian very much. He is half of my teacher. But there is one bad thing about him. He is too self-righteous. He always likes to do what the Eastern parents do. He says the same thing and cannot tolerate the slightest objection. Opinion. He regards me as his disciple, and he also regards me as his vassal. He always forces me to do things that I don't like in the name of my good. However, considering his past kindness, I can't bear it. It’s because there is an old saying in the East that a daughter-in-law takes many years to become a mother-in-law. As long as I can endure it, the day will come when I have the final say.”

Dennis looked at Sun Zhongnu: "But you still betrayed him. Although I would like to modify it by saying that you turned from darkness to light and repented, but this is the fact."

"Yes, betrayal." Sun Zhongnu smiled calmly, "Because he crossed my bottom line. People must have thoughts, hope, or hope. The reason why I can endure it is because I still have hope. As long as If hope is still there, I can convince myself to give in. The most terrible thing is that hope is gone, and there is no reason to tolerate giving in. "...

"Why do I have no hope? Because Lao Qian suddenly told me that he thought there was something wrong with my thinking and wanted me to go to the Central Plains thousands of miles away to receive education and correct my thinking. This is tantamount to denying everything in my past. He is an adult and I am an adult, neither of us is a child. Why should he use his own ideas to deny my ideas?”

"For me, what does the Central Plains mean? It means the unknown, it means unfamiliarity, it means starting all over again. Everything I have worked hard for in the New World has been in vain. Why should I leave the place where I grew up and run away? Going to a completely unfamiliar so-called hometown is as ridiculous as abandoning adoptive parents who have worked hard for decades to meet biological parents I have never met. Why can't I stay in a richer, freer, and more open city? Here, you want to return to the backward east and kowtow to the emperor of the east? "

Dennis reached out and patted Sun Zhongnu on the shoulder: "Sun, you are right. The despotism of the East is like a huge cage. Only we in the West are the light of freedom. We are the light of the world, and a city built on a mountain is What cannot be hidden, we will be like a city on a mountain, for all to see. Therefore, if we deceive the Supreme Will in the cause we have embarked on and let the Supreme Will accept bribes to grant us blessings, we will become a laughingstock and a scandal to the world."

Sun Zhongnu smiled and said: "Saint York is the city on the top of the mountain."

…

In the early morning, the sun first shines on the floating island in Uptown.

An airship is docked at the port of the floating island. Not far away is an exquisite church.

Midtown belongs to the city council, Uptown is the domain of the Steam Gospel.

Only the priests and those approved by the priests can come here.

Sun Zhongnu, Dennis, and Milton walked out of the church and walked toward the airship.

Templar knights have already formed a formation below the airship.

Sun Zhongnu said: "Actually, I don't like flying in airships because the probability of accidents is too high. I heard that the lotus seat encountered dangers in the air twice. If a tree is as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy it. In our line of work Yes, some people call us rats in the gutter. It is better to keep our feet on the ground. Going high and low is not suitable for us. "

Dennis would also take the airship together and said with a smile: "There is no way, the pressure from above is very tight, the time is tight, and the tasks are heavy. The airship is much faster than the steam train, so you can't worry about so much. And you can rest assured, this airship is reliable enough." , which is maintained independently by the Evangelical Ministry on weekdays, and is staffed by our own people, not comparable to Speaker Sophia’s airship.”

Sun Zhongnu said nothing more.

Milton saw them off, and the group boarded the airship along the ramp lowered by the airship. In addition to Sun Zhongnu and Dennis, there were many other members of the gospel ministry.

As for the pursuit of Rosette, it has been handed over to other people in the Gospel Ministry and is no longer their responsibility. After all, Rosette has left St. York. Considering the relative opposition between various states, the Gospel Ministry is also divided.

This made Sun Zhongnu very regretful. If he could catch the rosette, he would have achieved fame and success, but it was a pity that such a feat was not his turn. At this point, he envied the rosette very much. His ability was secondary. The key was that he could be entrusted with important tasks every time and get the credit he deserved. This was so rare.

However, being transferred to San Francisco can be regarded as comfort to the Evangelical Ministry. It also means great merit, but it is not as good as catching the rosette.

Sun Zhongnu wanted to use the blood of his people from the East to pave his way to the Holy Court.
