Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu said: "Since you said so, let's be brave today and see what the Li family can do to me."

Xiao Yin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, be energetic and see what they do."

Qi Xuansu didn't really believe what Xiao Yin said, but the Li family was already blocking the door. He was afraid that it would be difficult to refuse, so he just wanted to see what their plans were.

What's more, Qi Xuansu has this confidence. Having so many external possessions gives him a sense of confidence. He dare not say how to attack, but it should be more than enough to save his life.

After all, Xiao Bodhisattva didn't do anything to him.

So Qi Xuansu left the cabin and walked towards the gangway.

The Li family on the shore saw Qi Xuansu appearing and had already come to greet him.

Qi Xuansu walked down the gangway and greeted the two of them.

One of them had met Qi Xuansu several times, and it was Li Changlu, the real person in charge of Qizhou Daofu. Among all the real people in charge, Li Changlu was a special case. If all the real leaders were asked to line up, then Li Changlu should be ranked first.

The special status of Qizhou Daofu is only one of the reasons. The key is that Li Changlu served as the headmaster of Beichen Hall. He was the former headmaster of Beichen Hall. Later, he switched positions with Master Qingwei, who became the headmaster of Beichen Hall. Real person, Li Changlu will be the real person in charge of Qizhou Daofu.

Strictly speaking, this is a demotion, and it does not comply with the rule of promotion and promotion. A promotion is a promotion, and the change from the real person in charge of the hall to the real person in charge of the government is an obvious demotion. It's just that the two parties involved have no objections, so there's no problem. It's better to just retreat to the second line than to retreat directly into the mountains and forests.

This is also a symbol of unity in Taiping Road, with many people looking out for the greater good.

At first Huangfuji represented the West

Daomen came to Daomen for inspection, visited the Four Dao Mansion, and also visited Qizhou Dao Mansion. At that time, Li Changlu was in charge of reception.

Qi Xuansu, as the chief deputy head of Beichen Hall at that time, also accompanied Huangfu Ji to Qizhou and had contact with Li Changlu.

"Master Tiankui, long time no see. How are you doing?" Qi Xuansu asked proactively.

Since you address your job title when working, don't talk about seniority. In terms of positions, the two are equal and there is no distinction between them.

Li Changlu was very polite: "Thank you for your concern for Master Taiwei. Everything is fine. I heard that Master Taiwei was coming to Qizhou. As usual, when Master Taiwei was passing through the border, the local Taoist government had to receive him, so I came here to welcome him."

Qi Xuansu said: "I am here for private matters this time, not official matters. Master Tiankui is too aggressive."

"Private matters and official matters are the same. In the final analysis, we are all doing things for the Taoist sect. It is difficult to distinguish between public and private matters so clearly. More often, we have to take into account both public and private matters." Li Changlu said with a smile.

Qi Xuansu did not refute, but looked at the person next to Li Changlu: "Forgive my blindness, who is this?"

Li Changlu said: "I forgot to introduce Master Taiwei. This is my brother from the same clan, Li Changsheng. There are four brothers in our group, the eldest brother Li Changshi, the second brother Li Changsheng, I am Xing San, and the fourth brother Li Changge."

Qi Xuansu suddenly said: "That's it."

"I retired early and no longer hold specific positions. It is reasonable for Master Taiwei not to recognize me. However, although I live in the countryside, I have heard Master Taiwei's name for a long time, and I am lucky to have it today. See, it is true that a hero comes from a young age." Li Changsheng greeted Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu returned the courtesy and said, "I don't dare to act like this."

This is a compliment. "

Li Changsheng said: "The top of Xiantai is a good place. The most famous place here is Wangxiantai. Back then, Xuansheng and Donghuang had a sword fight here. After hearing the news, everyone took a boat to watch the battle. It became a good story. Speaking of it, I even talked about it with Master Taiwei. It has something to do with it. In addition to the Qingwei people, the audience at that time was mainly your Donghua people. Unfortunately, the sea is foggy today and we can't see Wangxiantai. If it is a clear day, we can see it clearly. Donghuang once commented on Wangxiantai. It doesn’t touch the sky, it doesn’t touch the ground, there is no cover, you can see the sky when you look up, and there is no more than a foot of land under your feet. If you are not careful, you will fall into the vast blue waves. Wind and rain can come, the sun can shine, winter snow can cover it, and spring thunder can Shocking, heroic and majestic.”

Li Changlu said: "Master Taiwei doesn't come to Qizhou often. Since it's rare to come this time, I must go to Wangxiantai to admire the grace of Xuansheng and Donghuang back then."

Qi Xuansu declined: "Let's do it next time..."

Li Changsheng interrupted: "As the saying goes, it's better to choose a day than to hit it. I don't know when the next time will be. Doesn't Master Taiwei look down on it?"

Qi Xuansu said seriously: "I didn't mean that."

"That's right." Li Changlu and Li Changsheng sang in harmony, "The Western Region has been peaceful, so there is no need to rush anything. I just happened to be holding a banquet at Guanhai Tower to cleanse the dust for Master Taiwei. You know, This Guanhai Tower is the first building in Qizhou, and is as famous as Wangxian Terrace. Standing on this tower, you can overlook the sea and sky. Especially when the tide is high, the magnificent scene of big waves crashing on Wanghai Tower and sweeping in thousands of layers of snow is even more amazing. A rare sight in between.”

Qi Xuansu hesitated and said: "Then

...I have no choice but to be respectful rather than obey. "

Under the guidance of Li Changlu and Li Changsheng, Qi Xuansu went to Guanhai Tower not far away.

The back side of Guanhai Tower is a cliff, and the front side is a gentler mountain road. Naturally, the group of people climbed the mountain from the front mountain road. At a glance, they saw that the Guanhai Building was not an isolated building, but a continuous building. Among the various courtyards, the main building was particularly eye-catching.

The main building has nine floors, each with different functions. The ninth floor is a scenic spot with external stairs leading directly to the ninth floor. The first to fifth floors are open to the public, and you can climb the stairs at will. However, the sixth, seventh and eighth floors are not accessible. It is strictly forbidden for others to climb the building.

The banquet was held on the eighth floor. There were twelve floor-to-ceiling bronze candlesticks, also called long candlesticks. Each bronze candlestick could light nine candles, so there were one hundred and eight candles. Each candle was as thick as a baby's arm. There was another candle above. There is a huge bronze lotus lamp hanging. The lotus has thirty-six petals, and each petal has a candle that is no more than an inch high. This illuminates the entire eighth floor as bright as day, leaving no trace of darkness.

At this time, a round table was placed in the middle of the entire floor, with a variety of exquisite utensils on the table.

Qizhou people are quite particular about this aspect, especially at this kind of dinner party. You can roughly know the identity of the person by looking at where he is sitting.

Generally speaking, the innermost position of the court gate is the main guest, and from the right are the guest of honor, the third guest, the fourth guest, the deputy guest, the third guest, the fourth guest, and the deputy guest.

After Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin came in, everyone gathered.

Li Changlu was the main escort, Qi Xuansu was the guest of honor, Li Changsheng was the escort, and the fourth guest was a middle-aged man whom Qi Xuansu didn't know, wearing the uniform of a Grand Xuanwu officer, and the deputy escort was also

He was an old man whom Qi Xuansu didn't recognize. He had white beard and hair, and was wearing regular clothes. He should be from a Taoist sect. The third guest and the fourth companion were all military attachés of the Daxuan court, and the deputy guest was Xiao Yin.

Li Changlu said: "There are quite a lot of people here today, with many faces. Master Taiwei may not recognize them. Let me introduce them to Master Taiwei."

He pointed to the person in the assistant position and said: "This is my brother, Li Changshi, but he no longer holds the position and has retired to the mountains and forests long ago."

Qi Xuansu's face turned solemn: "Senior Dao Sect, I am flattered."

Li Changshi smiled slightly: "Taiwei Zhenren is a rising star who is expected to become the Great Master. Although we old guys may not see this day, our unworthy descendants still have to rely on Taiwei Zhenren."

Li Changlu pointed to the Great Xuanwu Officer in the position of the third guest and said: "This is Qin Quanhuan, the Protector of the Dongting Protectorate."

Qi Xuansu greeted him and said: "I have admired you for a long time, I have admired you for a long time."

Qin Quanhuan was obviously from the clan, and he returned the courtesy: "Master Taiwei is so polite. After the war in Fenglinzhou, the imperial court decided to establish the Dongting Protectorate. I am the last one among the four great protectors, and I am not as good as the other three. "

Li Changlu pointed at the Great Xuanwu Officer who was in the fourth position: "Although this person serves in the imperial court, he is a member of our Li family, so he is not a guest."

This person raised his fist towards Qi Xuansu and said, "My Excellency, Li Youyi, holds the post of Commander-in-Chief Military Affairs of Donghai Navy. Not long after he took office, I met Master Taiwei."

Qi Xuansu returned the courtesy: "I have admired you for a long time."

Li Changlu finally pointed to the position of the four guests: "This is the commander-in-chief of military affairs of Qizhou, Sun Wuqi, Sun Junmen."

Qi Xuansu came to see him again.

Then Qi Xuansu said:

"There are quite a few generals here today."

Li Changlu smiled and said, "It's just the right time."

Qi Xuansu said nothing more and took his seat calmly.

Xiao Yin was not afraid of strangers at all, and he sat in the deputy guest's seat with dignity, looking around.

Even though Xiao Yin is small, he has seen a lot of great people in the world. Izanagi, Monk Xiao, and Bodhisattva Xiao were all defeated by Xiao Yin. Xiao Yin is also a "veteran on the battlefield", a "great strategist", and "Little Saint Equaling Heaven".

It is foreseeable that the number of this name will continue to increase.

The Li family also paid special attention to this special little guy, who was born in the cave of the ghost country and was an elf from the Emperor Willow.

The so-called secrets are for other people. For the Li family, which has an orderly inheritance, there are basically no secrets. The Li family was not only deeply involved in the establishment of the Taoist sect, but also for more than two hundred years after the resurgence of the Taoist sect, the Li family has been They are all in the high-level core of Dao Sect, so there are very few things that the Li family doesn't know about.

The Emperor Willow Elves are not just the essence of the Emperor Willow. They are born from Yin Qi. They are in a sense blessed by heaven and earth.

If it were the two Emperor Willow Elves in front, then the Li family would certainly be facing a formidable enemy, but the current Emperor Willow Elves are still in their infancy, or at most a teenager, and have not grown up, so there is nothing to worry about. .

Although the cultivation level of the creation stage can no longer be considered low, there is no one here today who is lower than the creation stage.

Therefore, in everyone's eyes, Qi Xuansu is really difficult to deal with. As long as Qi Xuansu is captured, this little guy can be dealt with as he pleases.

It’s just that past experience has confirmed the fact that whoever dares to take the "Little Sage Monkey King" seriously will definitely have to pay the price.

price. This guy is more like a man of destiny than Qi Xuansu.
