Pawn Crossing the River

The county owner Qin Wuyi mentioned was none other than Qin Xiang who was rescued by Qi Xuansu. It was precisely because of this joint that Qi Xuansu was able to get the waist card of the man in black from Qin Wubing.

Qin Xiang naturally also knew Qi Xuansu's other identity, which forced Qi Xuansu to change his plan temporarily.

Qi Xuansu glanced at Zhang Yuelu again. When it comes to other women, he still has to respect Zhang Yuelu's opinion, even if he has no intentions.

Zhang Yuelu smiled slightly: "General Qin, you don't mind if I go with you, right?"

Qin Wubing smiled and said, "Of course not. The county master has heard of Master Zhang's name a long time ago, and he will definitely be very happy."

However, Qin Wubing did not invite Pan Cuiqing, because the friendship between the two had not reached that level, and Pan Cuiqing would not shamelessly follow him, but he always felt that he was being overpowered by Qi Xuansu.

This wild Taoist!

Pan Cuiqing cursed secretly in her heart and watched Qi Xuansu, Zhang Yuelu and Qin Wubing leave together.

The rest of the people have already begun to explore who this General Qin is.

It's actually not hard to guess. Today's Daxuan court does not have the position of general, only the chief military officer. "General" is actually an honorific title similar to "Budang" and "Zhongcheng", and the military attache who can be honored as a general is at least He must be at the first level of the Guarding Chief Military Officer, and his scope is not very large. His surname is Qin. He is so young, and his identity is easy to reveal—Qin Wubing, Deputy Protector of the Western Regions Protectorate, and Chief Guarding Officer of Loulan.

Because the Daxuan court did not always suppress military attachés, as military attachés could also ascend the throne to pay homage to the prime minister, Qin Wubing was the perfect future palace elder.

Although this is vulgar, I have to admit that Lao Qi has his own merits in being able to get to know and interact with a future pavilion elder.

Zhang Yuelu and Qin Wubing couldn't let their eyes wander.

On the contrary, it is more likely that they have made a mistake.

Mo Qingdi whispered to Shi Yu beside him: "Lao Qi is hiding something deeply."

Shi Yu also said in a low voice: "I have said before, who is Deputy Hall Master Zhang? He has met such big figures as the Heavenly Master and the Earth Master, and he is also a disciple of Master Cihang. , I have never seen anything in the world, how can she see the wrong person? "

Mo Qingdi nodded: "You are still right."

Shi Yu said again: "That's fine. Now that Lao Qi has become rich, we can also benefit from it. There is no need for more. He is from Ziweitang, which is in charge of personnel evaluation. Who dares not to betray Ziwei?" For Tang’s sake? We don’t want to get promoted and get rich. It’s not too much to ask him to say hello to Qingping Bookstore, right?”

Mo Qingdi looked troubled.

Shi Yu reprimanded: "You are just too rigid, and you have learned the pedantic attitude of those Confucian scholars. Everyone does this, find connections if you have connections, use connections if you have connections, why should we stay out of the mud? ?”

Mo Qingdi sighed with a sad look on his face.

On the other side, Qin Wubing, Qi Xuansu, and Zhang Yuelu walked through a long corridor and came to a quiet place.

Compared with the flower hall, this place is slightly smaller and cannot accommodate too many guests. It seems to be just a private banquet.

Qin Wubing raised his hand to signal several followers to guard the door, then pushed the door open and entered.

There was only one table inside, and besides Qin Xiang, there was a man and a woman.

Qin Wubing smiled and said, "County Lord, look who's coming."

Qin Xiang then saw Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, and couldn't help but look surprised.

"Qi Xuansu has met the county lord." Qi Xuansu spoke first and winked at Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang was not stupid either. He was startled for a moment and then understood: "Qi..."

"I was ordered to investigate the case secretly, so I had to conceal my identity. I hope the county master will forgive me." Qi Xuansu explained, "My real name is Qi Xuansu, and I am currently the Taoist priest in charge of the fifth rank of Ziweitang."

Qin Xiang suddenly said: "It turns out to be the head of Qi. I heard that the Taoist sect is not as good as the imperial court. Here in the imperial court, it is not uncommon for the second-rank officials in their twenties to be the field ministers in the court and the Emperor's Hall in the evening. But the Taoist sect has stopped." According to the annual system, few people can become second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests at the age of thirty, and the proud men like Li Changge and Yao Pei are only fifth-grade Taoist priests."

After saying that, Qin Xiang looked at Zhang Yuelu next to Qi Xuansu and said curiously: "This girl is..."

Qi Xuansu glanced at Zhang Yuelu and found that she was staring at the man and woman.

Qi Xuansu also looked at it and couldn't help being surprised.

He recognized that woman.

It was Xie Qiuniang who fought against Zhang Yuelu at the Yulan Temple level.

At that time, Zhang Yuelu had not yet become a heavenly being. Xie Qiuniang used the "Thirteen Taiyin Swords" to fight Zhang Yuelu, who had already fought several times in a row, and the outcome was indistinguishable.

In any case, Qi Xuansu was still a member of the Qingping Society, so he gently pulled Zhang Yuelu's sleeve.

Zhang Yuelu looked away and smiled apologetically at Qin Xiang: "Zhang Yuelu."

Qin Xiang covered his mouth with his hands in surprise: "Is that the youngest deputy hall master?"

"It's me." Zhang Yuelu was a little helpless. She didn't often participate in this kind of entertainment. She occasionally participated in it a few times. Most of the people in Yujing were senior figures, and they wouldn't make a fuss when they saw her. Most of them gave her a few words of praise, but this time everyone followed her. Xuan Su came to participate in the class reunion and met mostly people of the same generation, not children of aristocratic families like Li Tianzhen. They treated her like a legendary figure, which made her very uncomfortable.

Qi Xuansu was about to continue to say a few words when he suddenly felt a line of sight falling on him and couldn't help but turn his head to look.

He saw Xie Qiuniang looking straight at him.

Of course Qi Xuansu didn't know. Xie Qiuniang and others analyzed it afterwards and believed that Qi Xuansu had taken the "Xuanyu". They had been looking for Qi Xuansu but couldn't find it. They never expected to see Qi Xuansu under such circumstances.

It's just that Xie Qiuniang can't do anything at this time, not to mention Zhang Yuelu is right next to him, a fifth-grade Taoist priest under thirty years old, must be a young handsome man who has entered the sight of the higher-ups of the Taoist sect, and it is not easy to move lightly. In any case, Taoists are soldiers and secret societies are thieves.

In fact, Qi Xuansu wasn't afraid either. He already knew Qiniang's identity, so he could ask Qiniang to intervene. Master Yao always has this face.

Zhang Yuelu and Qin Xiang chatted for a while. Qin Xiang probably asked questions curiously, and Zhang Yuelu patiently answered.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yuelu looked at Xie Qiuniang: "I haven't asked for advice yet, but this girl is..."

Qin Xiang took the initiative to introduce: "This is Miss Xie from the Confucian sect."

Zhang Yuelu was not surprised. Zhang Yuelu recognized Xie Qiuniang's identity as a Confucian sect when they fought at the Bon Temple. This time, her suspicions were undoubtedly confirmed.

"Thank you, Miss. It's been half a year since we said goodbye to Yishan City. How are you doing?" Zhang Yuelu asked.

Xie Qiuniang couldn't admit it, so she pretended to be surprised and said: "Why did Master Zhang say this? I met Master Zhang for the first time. We have never met each other before. Master Zhang must have recognized the wrong person, right?"

She is a member of the Confucian sect. Since the feud between Buddhism and Taoism, the status of the Confucian sect has been greatly improved. The Taoist sect mostly treats the Confucian sect to appease the Confucian sect. If there is a conflict between the Taoist sect disciples and the Confucian sect, the Taoist sect will not favor its own people. , on the contrary, he would favor the Confucian disciples. Many Taoist disciples were quite resentful about this. In private, some people often said that they hated being Confucian disciples.

Even if Zhang Yuelu is the deputy head of Tiangang Hall, nothing can be done to her as long as there is no real evidence.

Zhang Yuelu smiled: "Absolutely."

At this moment, Qi Xuansu looked at the man beside Xie Qiuniang.
