Pawn Crossing the River

Zhang Yuelu took the official letter, stood up from the dressing table and came to the outside.

Mu Jin naturally followed Zhang Yuelu to the outside.

So only Qi Xuansu was left. Anyway, he was no longer so embarrassed.

Qi Xuansu sat down where Zhang Yuelu had been and found that his dagger "Qingxiao" was placed on the dressing table.

Before meeting Zhang Yuelu, he first went to the residence arranged for him by Lei Xiaohuan and put all his luggage and weapons in the residence. He only brought a handful of "Qingyuan" that he never left with him. Because I have to go back to get some wine.

It seems that when Zhang Yuelu helped him take off his outer robe, he discovered the dagger hanging on his waist. He could even imagine Zhang Yuelu sitting alone in front of the dressing table and gently stroking the dagger.

After all, the name of this dagger is "Qingyuan", which is taken from the "Qing" character of "Qingxiao" and the "Yuan" character of "Tianyuan". It means a lot to the two of them.

Qi Xuansu put away "Qing Yuan" and carefully arranged his appearance in the mirror before getting up and going to the outside room.

At this time, Zhang Yuelu was sitting behind the desk, and the official letter was placed on the table in front of her.

Qi Xuansu asked: "What's wrong with Master Cihang?"

"It's nothing, it's just about your personnel transfer." Zhang Yuelu said lightly, "From now on, you are no longer a disciple of the Zhengdao, but a disciple of the Quanzhen Dao."

Qi Xuansu already knew this and was not surprised at all.

Zhang Yuelu looked at him and said, "It seems you already knew this."

"Are you unhappy?" Qi Xuansu asked.

Zhang Yuelu said: "There's nothing to be unhappy about. It's just that Master obviously knew about this a long time ago, but deliberately didn't tell me. You are really losing face."

Qi Xuansu had known for a long time that Zhang Yuelu was very thoughtful and it was not easy to fool her. He lowered his tone and said, "I'm still unhappy. It's probably because Master Donghua and Master Cihang have communicated with each other in advance. No one else is qualified. As for me I have never even met Master Donghua, and I only met Master Cihang once. Masters have their own considerations, so why would they care about what I think. "

It is undeniable that what Qi Xuansu said was both emotion and reason. Even Zhang Yuelu couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Zhang Yuelu sighed: "Of course I know it's not your fault, but I always feel that Master Donghua has some plot to make you a chess piece."

Qi Xuansu was deeply moved, but he still said: "How can a little person like me be worthy of the great master Donghua's calculations?"

Zhang Yuelu was very thoughtful, but the information he got was seriously insufficient. It was impossible for a clever woman to make a fool of herself without straw, and it was impossible to guess the truth out of thin air. She said, "I hope so. You still have to pay more attention."

Qi Xuansu nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yuelu hesitated for a moment and then said: "There is one more thing. Once this is over, we will return to Yujing. Master wants to see you."

This was beyond Qi Xuansu's expectations. He was startled, and then felt guilty. It took him a long time to ask Ai Ai: "Master Cihang... what does she want to do when she sees me?"

Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu with a half-smile but asked, "What did you say you were doing?"

Although Qi Xuansu had met Master Cihang a long time ago, he did not know the identity of Master Cihang at that time, and Master Cihang did not know his identity either. It is the ignorant who are fearless. Now it was different. He knew the identity of Master Cihang, and Master Cihang also knew his identity. He was really a little timid.

"Can I not see you? Or I won't go back to Yujing." Qi Xuansu asked.

Zhang Yuelu emphasized his tone and asked again: "What do you think?"

Qi Xuansu sighed helplessly: "I can't count your relatives, friends and elders here with two hands. They all have good status. Nine out of ten are dissatisfied with me. I have to meet them one by one. It's really a chore."

Logically speaking, it would be inappropriate for Qi Xuansu to say these words in front of Zhang Yuelu, but Zhang Yuelu not only didn't care, but actually agreed.

She said softly: "There is no other way, just be more patient."

After Qi Xuansu complained, he then reflected on himself: "But then again, it's still my fault."

"Back then, the founder of the Zongheng family failed to lobby the King of Qin for the first time. When he returned home, his wife did not cheat, his sister-in-law did not work for him, and his parents did not talk to him. When he was alone and had the seal of the Six Kingdoms, he had overwhelming power in the world. At that time, the world The greatness of the people, the majesty of the princes, and the power of the ministers all wanted to make decisions. When he passed by Longmen Mansion, his parents heard about it, cleared the palace, set up a place for drinking, and welcomed him in the suburbs for thirty miles; his wife looked sideways and listened. And listen; my sister-in-law prostrates herself like a snake, and bows to her four times to thank her."

"How could my sister-in-law be so arrogant at first and so humble later? Just because she is a respected person, she has a lot of money. If you are poor, your parents will not have children, and if you are rich, your relatives will be afraid of you. In this world, how can one be so indifferent as to whether one is rich or powerful?"

"To put it bluntly, I still don't live up to expectations. At my age, Xuansheng has not yet integrated the Taoist sect, but he is still comparable to the deputy head master. If I had half the ability of Xuansheng, I would never be like this."

Zhang Yuelu joked: "When you become the head master and go to Yunjin Mountain, my parents will definitely clear the palace and clear the roads, set up a banquet with Zhang Le, and welcome thirty miles in the suburbs. When the time comes, let Zhang Yuyue snake and prostrate herself, and bow to her four times and kneel down to express her gratitude. As for Zhang Yuelu, I, of course, looked sideways and listened.”

Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "Did you agree?"

"What did you promise?" Zhang Yuelu asked.

Qi Xuansu smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Yueluzi reacted and realized that he had made a mistake. He couldn't help but blush slightly and spat: "Wait until you see my master before saying anything else."

Qi Xuansu murmured to himself: "Speaking of which, Master Cihang and I can be considered old acquaintances..."

Zhang Yuelu joked: "Then you can talk about friendship like this after we meet. I have no objection."

Qi Xuansu didn't have the guts to do so, and said sarcastically: "I'm just telling you behind your back. When I meet Master Cihang, I can only listen to his teachings and instructions. At most, I can talk about our deep love and righteousness."

Zhang Yuelu rolled her eyes at him: "Who has a deep love for you?"

Zhang Yuelu has always been quite majestic. Such a young woman's posture is very rare. Even Mu Jin feels strange. But seeing that the two of them are getting tired of each other, Mu Jin, who has been watching, really can't stand it and can't bear it. He coughed lightly.

Zhang Yuelu remembered that Mu Jin was still there, cleared his throat, and returned to his normal tone: "If there is nothing else..."

Qi Xuansu took the initiative to stand up and said, "I'll take my leave first."

The two people's eyes met again, and Mu Jin couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Even though Zhang Yuelu usually looks calm and relaxed, she is still a novice when it comes to relationships. Coupled with the blessing of meeting again after a long separation, Zhang Yuelu at this time is just like a young woman who is in love. The appearance of Deputy Hall Master Zhang.

When Qi Xuansu left, Mu Jin couldn't help but said: "Qingxiao, what do you like about him?"

Zhang Yuelu glanced at her: "I don't know either. How can I explain this kind of thing clearly?"

Mu Jin could only sigh helplessly.

She still lost to Qi Xuansu.

However, compared with the previous unwillingness, this time he was somewhat convinced. Just because Qi Xuansu dared to risk his life for Zhang Yuelu, he was already better than countless others.

On the other side, Qi Xuansu always felt like a thief when he left Zhang Yuelu's residence. Fortunately, there was no one around, which made him feel a little more at ease.

When he left Zhang Yuelu's yard, he calmed down and remembered something.

That was the death of Wan Xiuwu.

According to Pei Xiaolou, Yue Liuli's first suspect was Qi Xuansu. It was only because he was a "dead man" at the time that the suspicion was forcibly cleared. However, with his reappearance, Yue Liuli's side was definitely not convinced. If you give up and let it go, Wuxu Palace will probably bring this matter up again.

For Qi Xuansu, it was a big trouble and he needed to think of a countermeasure.

As for why Qi Xuansu did not discuss the matter with Zhang Yuelu, the main reason was that he did not want to embarrass Zhang Yuelu. With Zhang Yuelu's character, it was already an act against his will to conceal the killing of Wan Xiuwu for him. How could he bear to put Zhang Yuelu in a dilemma again.

However, this kind of thing involves Wuxu Palace, and it is not something Qi Xuansu can handle alone. So Qi Xuansu decided to go to Pei Xiaolou to discuss countermeasures. After all, this real person knew him thoroughly and could discuss everything. Moreover, Pei Xiaolou was from the Wanshou Chongyang Palace, so he could intervene in the matter.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu went directly to Pei Xiaolou's residence.
