Pawn Crossing the River

Now that Qi Xuansu's new home has been decorated, it is different from the last time he came here. The furniture responsible for the Zhang family has been placed and it no longer looks empty.

What surprised Qi Xuansu even more was that their new house was of course a new item from Yishui. All they needed was the word "new", but some ornaments, calligraphy and paintings, etc., couldn't be new. New is not as good as old, and there is no history. The background cannot reflect the Zhang family's style.

Although Zhang Yuelu objected strongly, the objection was ineffective and the Zhang family left it alone. Zhang Yuelu couldn't escape and couldn't see him anyway. By the time Zhang Yuelu noticed, it was almost time for her wedding, could she throw it out again?

The Zhang family still has many people here, all of whom are preparing for the wedding.

Qi Xuansu suddenly thought that he had not arranged the best man yet and was too busy.

The leader of the Zhang family followed Qi Xuansu, took out a long wooden box, and handed it to Qi Xuansu with both hands.

This box is very exquisite. If nothing else, this box alone is also an antique and worth a lot of money. A painting packed in such a good box is certainly not ordinary.

Donghua Zhenren has high attainments in calligraphy and painting. He not only likes to paint by himself, but also likes to appreciate and collect famous calligraphy and paintings. This time Qi Xuansu specially asked someone to find an ancient painting from the Daqi period. It was made by a famous artist and was hard to find.

The person entrusted to him was none other than Zhang Jucheng. After all, the Zhang family has thousands of years of history, so just choose from their own inventory.

Ever since Qi Xuansu and Zhang Jucheng teamed up to capture Li Tianlan, the relationship between Zhang Jucheng and Qi Xuansu has greatly improved. Zhang Jucheng's only regret is that Qi Xuansu is not his son-in-law, but his niece-in-law. After all, he is one level behind. This painting can be regarded as a thank you gift in a sense, but there is no need to owe a favor.

Qi Xuansu follows rules and is extremely cautious when it comes to giving and receiving gifts. Let’s not talk about receiving gifts. When it comes to giving gifts, Qi Xuansu rarely breaks the rules. The reason why he made an exception this time when giving gifts to Master Donghua is because the two of them are teachers. Regarding the relationship between disciples, Taoists say all day long that master and disciple are like father and son, so what else is there to say? No matter how precious it is, it does not break the rules.

Qi Xuansu took the long box without opening it, but said, "Thank Uncle Zhang for me."

The Zhang family responded, "The head of the family has told me that a family does not have to speak the same language."

Qi Xuansu put the painting away and planned to send it to Master Donghua later.

At this time, Chen Jianchou contacted Qi Xuansu, "Master, something happened."

To be precise, there was a problem on Lu Yujue's side.

Qi Xuansu specifically told Chen Jianchou to accompany Lu Yujue because he was afraid that Lu Yujue would be impulsive. After all, he had endured it for so many days and this day was not to be missed. It was better to wait until he met the real Donghua before making long-term plans.

Of course Lu Yujue understood this truth and did not intend to have an attack immediately. He was just planning to

Planning can never keep up with changes.

Logically speaking, Zhou Xiaosong should still be on duty at Tiangang Hall when Lu Yujue came home, and Zhou Xiaosong didn't know that Lu Yujue was back.

Because the official side only said that Qi Xuansu would come back and no one else mentioned it, everyone in Ziweitang was preparing to welcome Qi Xuansu. Even Wuniang didn't know, let alone Lu Yujue.

As for Li Changge, he did say hello to Beichen Hall and told them about Lu Yujue's return so that they could be prepared. It's just that this kind of thing is not reported to the level of Master Qingwei. As one of the candidates for the Grand Master, Master Qingwei handles this kind of thing every day, so there is no need to do anything else, so Li Changge just asked Shen Yubing to notify Li Zhuyu .

Li Zhuyu, for some personal reasons, did not tell Li Minghuang about the incident immediately.

When Lu Yujue returned home, he found the door closed.

After Taoism began to talk about equality, even Taoist families could not have dozens of servants like the Confucian people in the past. Especially in Yujing, it was even more strict. There could only be one or two Taoists. Lu Yujue's family only had husband and wife. The two of them, plus Lu Yujue didn't come back very often, so there was usually only one Taoist citizen.

But even if there is only one Taoist, there is no reason to lock the door in broad daylight.

Lu Yujue smelled something different.

He originally wanted to endure it, but when things came to him, he couldn't endure it anymore and broke in directly.

The people inside noticed it immediately, but did not choose to escape.

When Lu Yujue walked into the living room, he saw two people in the living room. One was naturally his Taoist companion Zhou Xiaosong, and the other was Li Minghuang.

The two of them were neatly dressed, and they probably hadn't started the real drama yet, so there was no possibility of being caught in bed.

The Chinese furniture in the living room was replaced at some point and turned into a Western sofa. Li Minghuang was sitting on the sofa, looking magnanimous and without any guilt at all. Seeing Lu Yujue looking at him, he nodded with a smile.

Lu Yujue had a gloomy face, feeling that the fire in her heart could no longer be suppressed.

Zhou Xiaosong was a little surprised: "Why are you back?"

Lu Yujue said coldly, "Why, can't I come back? Are you expecting me to die outside?"

Zhou Xiaosong was immediately irritated by these words and raised his voice, "What do you mean?"

Lu Yujue said, "That's the literal meaning."

Zhou Xiaosong said in a shrill voice, "Lu, you don't come back even a few times throughout the year. You go crazy when you come back. What do you want to do?"

How about it? "

Lu Yujue asked, "What do you want? What's going on?"

"What's going on?" Zhou Xiaosong didn't feel guilty at all, but spoke plausibly, "What's wrong with me inviting my boss to come and sit at home?"

Lu Yujue finally couldn't hold back his anger, "It's not that simple, is it? I've heard about the good things you did in the Southern Continent. Why do you think I came back this time?"

Zhou Xiaosong was panicked for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. In order to cover up her guilty conscience, she burst out even more angry, "People with a deep heart see everything as dirty. People named Lu, you are not clean outside, don't Use yourself to judge others. You are petty and not as big as the eye of a needle, but you are still spreading rumors about me. As a grown man, don’t be so mean.”

What does it mean to beat the enemy with a rake? This is it.

Lu Yujue was so angry that he laughed and said "good" three times in a row.

Lu Yujue had been in the Southern Continent for many years and was responsible for foreign affairs. Even if he was not an eloquent person, he was by no means a poor speaker. It was just that he was so angry that he could not speak.

He couldn't figure out whether he was blind or was Zhou Xiaosong pretending too well? Or did the environment change people and turn the gentle little girl back then into what she is today?

Lu Yujue's whole body was trembling slightly, and he wanted to take action.

Chen Jianqiu immediately grabbed Lu Yujue's wrist and said softly, "Lu Fuli, don't let anyone take advantage of you."

At this moment, Li Minghuang, who had been silent, finally spoke, "Secretary Chen, I heard that you will be promoted to Deputy Palace Master soon. Congratulations. You have a good master and your promotion is fast."

Chen Jianchou was neither humble nor arrogant and said, "The Taoist sect talks about equality, but a 'master' pops up out of nowhere? Master Li should be cautious and don't speak out what's in his heart. Of course, I don't deny that it was Master Qi who promoted me. Qi and I The relationship between real people is that of a superior and a subordinate. It is reasonable and better than recognizing one’s father.”

Li Minghuang narrowed his eyes and instantly burst out with astonishing momentum.

Chen Jianchou felt suffocated for a moment.

To be fair, even if Lu Yujue and Chen Jianchou combined, they are no match for Li Minghuang.

It's just that Lu Yujue can't really be said to be afraid. During this period of time, he followed Qi Xuansu and got used to seeing fake immortals such as Hu En Ahan and Wu Tu.

Lu Yujue took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Li Minghuang, this is my home, please leave!"

Zhou Xiaosong immediately said, "This family is half mine. Master Li is my guest. It's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks."

Li Minghuang finally stood up, but did not move. "Lu Yujue, why are you with Qi Zhenren's secretary? Are you climbing the high branches of Donghua's lineage?"

Chen Jian

Qiu said, "Zhenren Li, I want to make it clear that Assistant Lu came back on leave and took the flying boat of Zhenren Qi. After all, Lu Fuli was once a subordinate of Zhenren Qi. This is human nature and Zhenren Qi has no reason to refuse. Regarding this point , Chief Li knew about it and allowed it, didn’t Chief Li tell you? "

Li Minghuang frowned, not knowing what he was thinking of.

Lu Yujue shouted, "Li Minghuang, what are you doing here? It's not too late for you to come back when I make peace with this woman."

Li Minghuang half-smiled, "What if I don't leave? What can you do to me?"

At this moment, a voice said, "If you are shameless, then I will throw you out."

After the words fell, Qi Xuansu strode in.

Chen Jianchou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Minghuang's face was serious: "Master Qi, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Qi Xuansu said, "Fuli Lu is my subordinate. As his old boss, it's not too much for me to come and see him, right? Isn't it true that Director Zhou can only invite his boss to come and sit down for a while, but Fuli Lu can't invite his boss?"

Zhou Xiaosong wanted to say something, but Qi Xuansu glanced at her: "Master Zhou, I am not the kind of old-minded person who always thinks that male Taoist priests should be humble to female Taoist priests. That is too self-righteous and underestimates female Taoist priests. I am about equality. I respect female Taoist priests very much, so I will treat female Taoist priests the same way I treat male Taoist priests.”

Zhou Xiaosong suddenly didn't dare to speak, and even didn't dare to breathe.

Qi Xuansu turned to Li Minghuang and said, "Master Li, you are fine."

Li Minghuang narrowed his eyes, "What do you want?"

Qi Xuansu said coldly, "I told you to throw you out."

Before the words fell, the two of them took action almost at the same time.

A big golden sword can be seen in a small space.

Qi Xuansu's move is the "Future Wuji" in "The Holy Fist of Three Generations".

He did not underestimate Li Minghuang, after all, Li Minghuang was also in the stage of creation.

The two of them passed each other, Qi Xuansu was unscathed, and Li Minghuang staggered a few steps with a clear fist mark on his chest.

Qi Xuansu followed up with another punch. In any case, Qi Xuansu's skills were acquired through actual combat, and he even faced Zhou Mengyao, let alone Li Minghuang.

Li Minghuang roared angrily and struck with all his strength.

A head-on confrontation.

The space between the two was briefly distorted.

The next moment, Li Minghuang flew backwards, crashed through the wall, broke through the courtyard wall, flew to the street outside, and landed in a prone position, in a miserable state.

Qi Xuansu stood with his hands behind his back, "You are far worse than Li Yongyan."
