Pawn Crossing the River

After Qi Xuansu entered the southern continent, someone quickly came forward to help him.

It wasn't anyone else, it was Lu Yujue. Such a big thing happened, and the dignified chief personally participated in the battle. He did not dare to stay at ease in the rear, but went directly to the camp on the front line. As long as Qi Xuansu arrives, he can

If Chief Qi arrives and he is still hiding behind, what will Chief Qi think?

As for Li Mingzhen, as the assistant manager of the Northern Continent, he was still in the Northern Continent at this time.

Lu Yujue led Qi Xuansu to the camp and introduced the current situation to Qi Xuansu. At the border between Xidaomen and Tawanting Chenbing, Gong Fu, the second-ranking figure in Xidaomen, personally led the army. However, Gong Fu was not in the camp at this time.

Just like what was said, it came, and at this moment, the "Dividing Water and Land" also arrived.

Because Huangfuji was injured, the group did not show much courtesy. The main reason was that Gongfu arranged for Huangfuji to be sent for treatment. Qi Xuansu and Huangfu Ji met briefly and didn't have time to speak. However, the two of them had been close friends for a long time. They even joined forces to cause trouble in the Northern Continent. Qi Xuansu had a pretty good impression of Huangfu Ji.

After Huangfuji left, Gongfu was able to take a closer look at Qi Xuansu.

Ordinary people can't see it, but Gong Fu is a dignified immortal. How could he not see the details of Qi Xuansu? He couldn't help but be surprised. After all, the incarnation of Bingjie at the level of a pseudo-immortal is too rare. If Qi Xuansu's identity had not been determined long ago, he would have been the incarnation of the great master Pingzhang.

At this moment, Qi Xuansu split into two, and Wu Niang appeared in front of Gong Fu.

Gong Fu immediately understood what was going on and took the initiative to salute: "It turns out to be Qiniang."

After Tantai Yun ascended, according to her arrangements before her ascension, many things including Wuniang were sent back to the Daomen, which officially started the return process of the Xidaomen. At that time, there was no Gong Fu, so naturally he had never seen Wu Niang. mother. But he knew Wu Niang, who was considered a senior of Xidaomen. Although he is an immortal and Wu Niang can only be regarded as a false immortal, the tradition of respecting the elderly cannot be lost, especially the elderly must advocate respecting the elderly. If they themselves do not respect the elderly, how can they make young people obey?

Wu Niang waved her hand: "The name Qiniang has been taken. Change it. Let's call her Wu Niang."

Gong Fu didn't care, Chongshan Ruliu was just a name.

"Chief Qi and Wuniang are honored to visit their old place this time. It's a great honor for everyone at Xidaomen." Gong Fu was very polite.

Although he is a real person and is considered a peer of the six generations of disciples, seniority actually does not play such a big role in Taoism. None of the three major Yinwu and Wu Niang have senior qualifications that existed in the early days of Taoism, and their status is not high enough. Going up to heaven, the retired old Taoist priests met the juniors in office, but they did not get any favors.

Respecting the elderly is more about etiquette and face. When it comes to power, it is not so easy to use.

What’s more, Qi Xuansu came this time not only as the chief deputy head of Daomen’s Beichen Hall, but also as a special envoy of Daomen. This was like an imperial envoy, representing the Daoist sect, so it was difficult for Gong Fu to act like a senior. , but chose the posture of discussing friendship with peers.

This is to lean against a big tree to enjoy the coolness. The Taoist sect is powerful, and Qi Xuansu, who has his back against the Taoist sect, has a high status. If Qi Xuansu is the special envoy of the Xidaomen, he would not dare to have the luxury of talking to the three deputy head masters when he comes to Yujing. .

In addition, Gong Fu also had some other considerations. After all, Qi Xuansu himself was still a strong competitor for the Eighth Dynasty Grand Master. He was not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case. If Qi Xuansu was offended, it would be very disadvantageous when Qi Xuansu came to power. Don't underestimate the power of the Grand Master. The Xidao Sect has not been able to substantially influence Yujing's decision-making so far. Isn't it because the edict of the Five Dynasties Grand Master has completely blocked the door?

If not, Gong Fu should be Pingzhang Da Zhenren, not Da Zhenren.

All in all, Gong Fu gave Qi Xuansu a very high courtesy and held a banquet for Qi Xuansu in the camp that night. Except for Huangfu Ji, all other high-level officials attended, including many high-level generals from Tawanting.

It has to be said that these people are highly Centralized. Except for some differences in appearance, they are no different from the Central Plains people in terms of speech, behavior, and behavioral habits. Even their accents are authentic Central Plains Mandarin. If you don't look at their faces, Qi Xuansu would still be a Chinese. He was drinking with a bunch of big Xuanwu officials.

This is the reform and strengthening under the guidance of Xidaomen.

After the collapse of the three major empires of the aboriginal people of the New World, many of them began to think about ways to reform and become stronger. The West was the enemy that had swept across the New World. There was considerable resistance to learning from them. It was difficult for the Easterners to overcome this psychological hurdle. But they were friends who helped them rebuild Tawanting, so it was logical that Tawanting embarked on the path of imitating the East in order to enrich the country and strengthen the people.

Under the guidance of Xidaomen, Tawanting started the process of Centralization, especially in the army, which was completely Centralized. Many generals have declared their loyalty to Taoism. However, there is still resistance, and traditions such as the royal family and religion are still maintained.

If we only look at the degree of Centralization, the military is the most Centralized, the royal family and the bureaucracy are half Centralized and half traditional, and the religious priests are the most conservative and reject Centralization.

This is also based on reality. You talk about tradition with the army, but winning the war is the most fundamental task. After being beaten by the Westerners and almost annihilating the country and the species, if you can't wait for death by holding on to tradition, then you have to change. The royal family wants to achieve a middle balance and take into account all parties, so they are half and half. In essence, they still enjoy all kinds of things in the Central Plains. Who doesn't like to enjoy? The priests have to be conservative. If they also embrace Centralization, then the meaning of their existence will be lost. The Taoist priests will completely replace them, so they must resist Centralization, and they will form a certain kind of relationship with the fully Centralized army. balance.

Such was the situation in Tawantin.

Qi Xuansu's current contact is mainly with the army, and he feels that it is very similar to Nanyang. Although the appearance is slightly different, all other aspects are very similar.

Audrey also attended the banquet. Qi Xuansu originally had no intention of letting her appear in front of others, and tried to hide herself before the truth about the traitor came to light. But then he thought about it, he made such a big noise, and there were not a few people who saw it. If he went here without three hundred taels of silver at this time, it would make people think too much, so why not just put it in front of the stage openly? .

Furthermore, Qi Xuansu also intends to set a benchmark. Audrey Al, a famous actress from the Northern Continent, defected to the Southern Continent. What does this mean? What does it mean? Very thought-provoking.

Of course, to some people, this is another story. It's nothing more than a beautiful woman who loves a hero. Chief Qi is a young and talented man with a high position of authority. It's not unusual for him to attract a few butterflies. Although Chief Qi has a family in the East, what does that mean? It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Even if the fierce wives at home are not allowed to enter, they will stay here. They will have one family in Yujing and one in Southern Continent. They will not disturb each other. It is nothing more than the way of hiding the beauty in the golden house.

This is also the norm for many Taoist priests. Whenever they go to a place and their wife cannot accompany them, they find a temporary partner. During this period of time, this temporary partner will accompany them and perform various duties of the wife day and night, including attending meetings. Various private banquets, wait until the Taoist priest leaves, and then arrange the temporary wife properly, which can be regarded as a happy reunion.

When Chief Qi came this time, he didn't even bring a secretary. He obviously needed a temporary wife. This Miss Audrey Eyre is very suitable.

Of course Qi Xuansu would not be so vulgar. He himself was not good at women. Even if he did not meet Zhang Yuelu, he might not have anything to do with other women. What he lacked was family affection, not the love between men and women, not to mention the love between men and women. There is already Zhang Yuelu.

Because I don’t have it, I value it. Because we cherish it, we are stingy. In fact, Qi Xuansu is a sentimental person and does not have so much emotion to give to others.

Moreover, Qi Xuansu is on the cusp of the storm. He is not comparable to those old and decrepit people who have no possibility of further advancement. He is still being made a fuss about by others. How could he expose such a big handle for others to take advantage of?

But if others insist on thinking this way, he can't stop them.

After the banquet was over, Qi Xuansu went to visit Huangfu Ji who was recovering from his injuries.

This Mr. Huangfu really dared to do it. Not only did he blow up the headquarters of the Gospel Ministry, but he also had to fight with the people of Steam Gospel.

More importantly, Huangfu Ji shared a lot of pressure on Qi Xuansu. For this reason alone, Qi Xuansu still has to thank Huangfu Ji.

At this time, Huangfuji was being looked after by people from Huashengtang.

Xidaomen was restructured after Daomen, and naturally it also had nine halls. If they were discussed together, the Xidaomen side would usually add a prefix of "西" to distinguish them. For example, Ziweitang, Xidaomen is Xiziweitang. But the only exception is that Xidaomen does not have Beichen Hall, but Jue Sheng Hall. On the surface, it seems to come from "Juesheng Abandoned Wisdom", but in fact it is not that complicated. It literally means that Sheng refers to the Holy Court. Beichen Hall lays out the entire world, while Juesheng Hall mainly targets the Holy Court, with completely different focuses.

In other words, Beichen Hall has a strong presence in the New World, the Central Plains, Nanyang and other places, while Juesheng Hall is only limited to the New World.

Most of the elites led by Huangfuji came from Jueshengtang, and some came from Xitiangangtang, and Huangfuji himself was the real person in charge of Jueshengtang. According to the principle of equality, Huangfu Ji is higher than the chief Qi Xuansu, but everyone knows that it is impossible to be equal, the difference in size is too big.

This is also a very interesting point of Xidaomen. There are nine real people in Xidaomen who are recognized by Daomen. Each of them happens to be in charge of one hall in name. The three major families are the leaders of the three halls. But this is only in name. Huangfu Zhao is just the real person in charge of the ancestral temple, but in fact his status in Xidaomen is higher than that of Huangfuji, and he is the leader of Xidaomen.

Compared with Daomen, many structures and organizations of Xidaomen are just formalities.

After two people meet, they can't help but compliment each other. You praise me for being brave, I praise you for being calm and sympathetic, and everyone is happy.
