Pawn Crossing the River

There is nothing to say about the specific process of the discussion. It is nothing more than reviewing the past, summarizing the present, looking forward to the future, taking turns to speak, and finally completing the successful discussion.

Qi Xuansu did not speak, but just attended the whole process.

His identity was sensitive and he represented the Taoist sect. Any actions he took would be interpreted as having other meanings, so he simply didn't say anything.

After the discussion was over, Qi Xuansu met with Huangfu Zhao, Gong Fu and Tantai Zhenxiao respectively and talked a lot. Mainly the relationship between Daomen and Xidaomen, the future development of Xidaomen, and the current status of Daomen, etc.

Have an honest conversation and have a deep exchange.

Regarding some interest issues, Qi Xuansu did not make any promises or give a positive answer. He more said that he would go back and report together.

This is not the responsibility of the chief deputy master of Beichen Hall, but the task of the Taoist envoy.

When Qi Xuansu came this time, he was actually holding two positions. What Gong Fu and Tantai Zhenxiao cared about was not the deputy head of Beichen Hall, but the identity of the Taoist envoy.

We can't talk about going deep into it yet, let's just consider it a trial stage.

This is also the reason why Qi Xuansu came in person. After all, he was interviewing the three giants of Xidaomen. It would be too much to ask the incarnation of Bingjie to come forward, and it would be too disrespectful to the senior officials of Xidaomen.

By the time Qi Xuansu said goodbye to Tantai Zhenxiao, the sky was filled with stars, but Huangfuji was still waiting for him.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but joked, "Brother Huangfu, do you also want to have a long talk with me?"

Huangfu Ji waved his hands and said, "It's enough for the old men to worry about these things. I don't need to get involved. I have too many things to do during the day. I mainly want to talk to Brother Qi about the spoils of war."

Qi Xuansu smiled.

Huangfuji knows a lot about Taoism.

On the surface, Taoist people are not allowed to accept gifts from others at will, no matter what form they are. But loot is an exception.

Loot items are divided into two levels, mainly depending on their rarity.

For example, what Qi Xuansu captured on the battlefield in Fenglin Prefecture is a valuable item. The Taoist sect has corresponding regulations on the ownership of such trophies, which is similar to the gifts given to Taoist leaders from other countries.

For example, in the name of the Holy See, the Pope once gave the Fifth Grand Master a crown inlaid with seventy-two flawless gems. This gift was not the personal property of the Fifth Grand Master. In theory, it belonged to the Taoist sect. However, The Fifth Generation Grand Master has the priority to use it, and it is now stored in the Zixiao Palace together with other gifts.

The trophies captured on these battlefields naturally belong to the Taoist sect, but the people who capture them also have priority in disposal. To put it more clearly, it basically belongs to the person who captured it and can use it however he wants. It cannot be sold or passed down.

After the captured person dies, he will be taken back to the Taoist sect and redistributed by the Taoist sect.

There is also a kind of less precious trophies. As long as the quantity is not large, Daomen allows some ordinary trophies to be left as souvenirs. For example, if you capture an ordinary firecracker on the battlefield, you don't have to hand it in and you can do whatever you want with it.

Qi Xuansu actually participated in this war. It is reasonable to say that there are trophies from him.

When Huangfu Ji talked about the spoils of war, he actually wanted to express his gratitude to Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu could refuse or accept. He thought quickly and decided to accept.

The first reason is that he has made outstanding contributions in this war, not to mention making great contributions. This is what he deserves.

The second reason is that he does not want to reject Xidaomen's overtures and does not want Xidaomen's senior management to think too much about other things. This is the most important reason.

The third reason is that he also has selfish motives. He is worried about what gift to give Xiao Yin, and he also likes some things in New Paititi, but he is short of money.

Of course Qi Xuansu is not short of money, but those are public funds. Although if Qi Xuansu really wants something, he only needs to say it, and even if he expresses a certain intention, someone will come to his door, but Qi Xuansu does not want to do this, and does not want to be used to ask for bribes. To put it bluntly, Qi Xuansu cherishes feathers and does not want to get his hands dirty.

The trophies are firstly reasonable, and secondly they have commemorative significance, and you will feel proud if you tell them about them. This cannot be bought with money, but is taken from the enemy on the battlefield.

This can put aside its own value. After a firecracker that costs dozens of peace coins is given a touching story, it will cost far more than dozens of peace coins.

Qi Xuansu will make a report to the main hall after he returns. If it doesn't work, you can point it out on the spot. If it is approved, there will be no need to make a fuss later.

Qi Xuansu said, "It's too precious..."

"I know that the Taoist sect has discipline and will definitely not embarrass Dao Brother Qi." Huangfu Ji interrupted, "Actually, discipline is discipline. It is rare to see someone as clean and self-sufficient as Dao Brother Qi."

Qi Xuansu couldn't answer the question. He couldn't say that I was indeed in the minority and most people were ungrateful. The impact would be too broad and there was no such thing.

Qi Xuansu could only say, "There are still good people in the majority, but there are only a handful of bad apples. I am not a self-sufficient person, I am more cautious. If I have no problem, I will be slandered by others, let alone give others a handle."

. "

Huangfu Ji smiled and did not comment on the first half of the sentence. Regarding the second half, he said, "It is true that people's hearts are sinister and we must guard against it."

Qi Xuansu changed the topic, "What trophies are there? I'm worried about bringing something back to my little girl."

"I heard that Brother Qi Dao's daughter is called Qi Xiaoyin?" Huangfuji said.

Qi Xuansu was stunned for a while.

Whether it is Qi Xuansu, Zhang Yuelu, Lin Yuanmiao and others, they are all accustomed to calling her Xiao Yin instead of Yin Wanmiao. People who don't know the inside story think that this girl's name is Xiao Yin. Since she is Qi Zhenren's adopted daughter, she naturally follows If the surname is Qi, then call him Qi Xiaoyin, which is a wonderful expression.

Huangfuji had done some homework in advance, but he didn't do much before he made such a joke.

Qi Xuansu coughed lightly, "My name is Xiao Yin."

What else could he say? Could it be that this girl's name is Yin Wanmiao, or she can be called Yin Dabai. Why is she called this name? Because her grandfather's surname is Yin. Others can't help but ask, why don't the little girl's grandfather and father have the same last name? Qi Xuansu had to bring up the matter of the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven, and it inevitably involved the "Emperor Liu". Many things in it were Taoist secrets and could not be known to outsiders.

Qi Xuansu thought about it, decisively chose the simplest way, and accepted it. There is nothing wrong with removing the word "Qi" and calling it Xiaoyin.

Huangfu Ji said, "Of course there is no rouge and gouache that ordinary girls like, but the tiger girl of the general family, the daughter of Brother Qi Dao, probably doesn't like such boudoir things. Maybe there are some suitable things."

After that, Huangfuji gave Qi Xuansu a roster.

Qi Xuansu took it and took a look. It was really a dazzling array of things.

Xidaomen should have already screened it. The value is indeed not high and it meets the standards of Daomen, but it is very interesting.

Most of them are steam gadgets, including steam birds used for reconnaissance, steam armors, and steam great swords.

For example, steam armor can be powered by itself after being embedded with a small steam power core. Even a thin person wearing this armor can have infinite abilities.

Another example is the steam giant sword. Its principle is similar to that of a water jet blade. It requires power to drive, and its blade is just a thin metal wire.

However, these are made according to adult standards. Xiao Yin has short hands and feet, and is not tall enough to use a sword, so he really can't use them.

"A box of wind-up soldier dolls?" Qi Xuansu suddenly saw a title, "Why is there such a thing in the army?"

Huangfu Ji said, "The small props used by the Holy Court for chess and chess deductions can move on their own after being wound up.

Divide into two teams and fight. "

"This is good, I want this." Qi Xuansu was not polite.

Qi Xuansu continued browsing "Good Western red wine? Or 50 years old?"

"It is said that a general carried it with him and planned to use it to celebrate. He said that he would wait until Monterey was captured to open this bottle of wine at the celebration banquet, but it was a pity that this day did not wait." Huangfu said.

Qi Xuansu said, "Then give me an advantage."

Zhang Yuelu likes to drink, and he will accept rice wine, white wine, and red wine.

Two have been resolved.

There is also Qiniang, who likes tobacco.

Qi Xuansu continued to read.

Pipes are definitely not acceptable. Qiniang doesn’t need second-hand ones.

But there are some unopened cigars, no need to ask, those generals brought them. These generals really enjoy themselves, and it's not surprising that not only the generals, but also the ordinary school-level officers. In addition to red wine and cigars, there are also a large number of paper cigarettes, spirits, luxury lighters, playing cards, cans, candies and other items.

Xidaomen really captured a lot this time. The conditions here in Xidaomen are limited, and the main resources are used to develop the military industry. In other aspects, it is far inferior to the steam gospel in the north. Daomen's assistance is mainly military and will not care about such small things, so it is still very scarce.

Qi Xuansu checked two more boxes of fine cigars. Sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away is a light gift but heavy with affection. The cigars brought back from the southern continent have traveled thousands of miles across the ocean, which is a good example of sincerity.

Next came the two mothers-in-law and a father-in-law.

My father-in-law is easy to say, men are always easy to fool, so you can't get him a Western girl. Get him a mechanical puppet or a set of steam armor, and play with it for a while. This can be considered exotic and is enough.

Women have a little more trouble and demand more.

It’s not just about quality, it’s also about attitude.

Although Qi Xuansu was not afraid of them, he did not want to provoke them and cause trouble for himself.

Qi Xuansu looked over and over at the list, but found nothing suitable. Qi Xuansu finally thought

I thought, let Chen Jianchou arrange it. The money will be deducted from Qiniang's account, which is considered a loan. Qi Xuansu doesn't plan to pay it back in this life anyway. The key point this time is to give gifts to Zhang Yuelu's mother and master. It's not easy to go to Zhang Yuelu's account, otherwise it will go to Zhang Yuelu's account.

In this regard, Qi Xuansu has completely settled down, and he does not rule out taking advantage of Xiao Yin in the future.

Qi Xuansu returned the list to Huangfu Ji.

The final highlight is the "Holy Fist of Three Generations" promised to Qi Xuansu.
