Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 144: Borrowing a Knife to Kill

Zhang Yuelu was a little emotional.

Qi Xuansu's changes were huge.

A wild Taoist stopped wandering around the world and began to study the art of war.

The last time, Qi Xuansu used his own assassination to use a bitter trick to force Xie Jiaofeng and Qin Hengjun to submit. Instead of becoming his resistance, it became his assistance, successfully leveraging the power of the Nanting Protectorate, and later including pacifying the lion. The riots in the city, the attack on the Holy Court forces, etc. all borrowed the power of the Nanting Protectorate.

Later, Xie Jiaofeng, Qin Hengjun and he were already in the same boat. It was too late to get off the boat, and they could only walk to the dark side.

This time, Qi Xuansu used a borrowed knife to kill someone.

Qi Xuansu hated Li Tianzhen very much, but he could not kill Li Tianzhen directly, because that would mean openly breaking up with the Li family. Qi Xuansu did not have such strength now. Qi Xuansu would not be willing to let Li Tianzhen go just like that. It would be a hot potato if he didn't let Li Tianzhen go.

So Qi Xuansu borrowed someone else's knife to kill Li Tianzhen.

It may not really kill Li Tianzhen, but it will definitely make Li Tianzhen uncomfortable.

This "other" is Zhenwei Qingwei.

Strictly speaking, it is a faction headed by Master Qingwei. There are also disputes within the Li family. The conflict between Master Qingwei and many elders of the Li family is not a secret. This is different from the Zhang family. The Zhang family is mainly about closeness and distance, which is a matter of blood. On the Li family's side, it is because Master Qingwei is young. The grudges formed over time are a matter of ideas.

Li Tianzhen belongs to the elders of the Li family, so I guess Master Qingwei will not let this opportunity go.

In fact, Qi Xuansu also thought about whether Qingwei Zhenren would choose to let Li Tianzhen go and bribe the old man of the Li family.

Heart? But Qi Xuansu finally thought that it would not be the case. If Master Qingwei wanted to do it, he would have done it so long ago. There is no need to wait until now. As the second generation leader of the Li family, his status is unshakable. Those old people in the Li family are full of food. You are competing with the future family head. Isn’t it because the future family head refuses to give in? To put it bluntly, Master Qingwei wants to be Xuansheng, to convince the Li family and let the Li family move forward according to his will, instead of compromising between him and the Li family.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu was sure that even if Master Qingwei saw through his intention of borrowing a knife to kill people, he would use this matter to suppress the faction behind Li Tianzhen instead of letting Li Tianzhen off easily. Then his murder with a borrowed knife will be settled.

Li Tianzhen is not stupid, and she has figured this out, so her face looks so ugly.

In addition, Qi Xuansu can also sell a favor to Zhenren Qingwei and a favor to the Li family. The favor sold to Qingwei Zhenren was to give Qingwei Zhenren a handle on his opponent. The favor sold to the Li family was that he let Li Tianzhen go and did not really punish Li Tianzhen, thus protecting the Li family's face.

If Qi Xuansu hadn't been too prominent recently, becoming the youngest second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest in the Taoist sect, posing a real threat to Li Changge and making the Li family very afraid, then Qi Xuansu could probably use this matter to ask for a piece of "Xuan Jade" from Master Qingwei ”, now there is no need to think about it.

In such a short period of time from knowing that Li Tianzhen was arrested to Qi Xuansu talking to Li Tianzhen, Qi Xuansu was not only able to exploit the loopholes in Li Tianzhen's words and force Li Tianzhen to confess, but he could also immediately think of a way to kill someone with a borrowed knife to get the best solution. This made Zhang Yuelu also have to I'm quite impressed.

Don't look at Qi Xuansu here

He usually seems to be a little afraid of Zhang Yuelu, but in fact it is just normal time. It is an old habit of male Taoist priests to respect a female Taoist priest in terms of face. This is the custom, so I won’t go into details.

When it comes to business matters, when Qi Xuansu can make decisions on his own, he will not seek too many opinions from others, including Qiniang and Zhang Yuelu.

How to deal with Li Tianzhen, Qi Xuansu would not ask Zhang Yuelu if this was okay, he thought it would be okay, so he did it.

Of course Zhang Yuelu could raise objections, but Qi Xuansu would seriously consider it, but would not obey Zhang Yuelu's orders.

This is also where the conflict between Qi Xuansu and Tantai Qiong lies. Is Tantai Qiong dissatisfied with Qi Xuansu, his son-in-law? Even if he was dissatisfied before, after Qi Xuansu gradually showed his prowess, there is no way to say that he is not worthy of Zhang Yuelu. Of course Tantai Qiong knew that Qi Xuansu had a bright future, but it had to be said that Tantai Qiong was very good at judging people. She could tell at a glance that Qi Xuansu was not someone who could be manipulated, and Zhang Yuelu had no intention of controlling Qi Xuansu.

This means that this son-in-law is not very obedient. He does not do whatever his mother-in-law says, nor does he try to please his mother-in-law. Most of the time, this son-in-law will only be obedient to his mother-in-law and be perfunctory to his mother-in-law. So Tantai Qiong was so angry with Zhang Yuelu that he didn't even learn to control men.

In fact, Zhang Yuelu also had something to say, Qi Xuansu didn't follow Tantai Qiong, and she didn't follow Qiniang. This is called fairness. Everyone just needs to take care of their own mothers, why bother mixing them together. If Tantai Qiong's thoughts were followed, what was the difference between that and a son-in-law? It's no wonder that many people lamented that their son was raised by someone else.

After all, Tantai Qiong and Zhang Yuelu already have huge differences in their ideas.

The ravine is difficult to cross.

Of course, Zhang Yuelu would not raise objections on this matter.

So it was decided.

Qi Xuansu and his party returned to Lion City overnight. Qi Xuansu summoned Li Zhuyu and asked her to inform Zhenren Qingwei of the matter.

After Li Zhuyu learned about this, he was not only shocked but also shocked.

The first shock was naturally when Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu raided Longlin Island and won a great victory, severely injuring Wu Guangbi, who was a fake immortal. But considering that Qi Xuansu can handle even Chen Shuhua, it seems logical.

The second shock was that Li Tianzhen was captured. The surprise came too suddenly, like pie in the sky.

Li Zhuyu did not shirk, and could not shirk, and immediately reported to Master Qingwei.

Counting the days, Master Qingwei is still in Fenglinzhou at this time, but the date for his master's return to the court is getting closer and closer, and there are only a few days before the Ghost Festival.

Because Li Zhuyu is the adopted daughter of Zhenren Qingwei, she can directly contact Zhenren Qingwei. If Qi Xuansu comes forward, there will be several detours. Master Qingwei’s reply was quick and concise. He will ask an elder of the Li family to come forward to handle the matter.

You must know that Li Tianzhen's "天" generation is already an older generation, and Li Minghuang's adoptive father, Li Tianyue, Li Tianlan and others are just "天" generations. The older generations further up are the "Chang" and "You" generations.

Sure enough, on the evening of the second day after Li Tianzhen was arrested, a flying boat landed in Lion City. It took Li Changge four hours to get to Lion City from Fenglinzhou.

Sure enough, he is a senior.

Don't worry about Li Changge's age, just ask if he is senior.

Li Changge came directly to see Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu asked Xie Jiaofeng to prepare

In addition to Qi Xuansu and Li Changge, there were several other parties involved in a small-scale reception banquet, including Li Zhuyu, Xiao Yin, Zhang Yuelu, and Li Tianzhen. Although Yao Pei was also in Lion City, considering that she was not a party involved, she was not invited. Otherwise, it’s all four shows.

We are all old acquaintances. We fought side by side on the Fenglinzhou battlefield not long ago, so there is nothing strange about them. After a brief polite greeting, we got to the point.

Of course, Qi Xuansu couldn't put forward the conditions directly. To put it more tactfully, it was just because he didn't want to make things worse because of the bad influence. Li Changge first expressed his thanks and then conveyed the opinions of Master Qingwei.

Li Tianzhen immediately went to serve in front of the Fenglinzhou Army and gave him a chance to make meritorious service. If he committed another crime again, he would be severely punished and would never be tolerated.

But whether "offending again" means colluding with Wu Guangbi again or getting caught again is a matter of opinion.

As for Qi Xuansu's favor, Master Qingwei did not postpone it until later and "settled" it on the spot.

Master Qingwei asked Li Changge to stay in Lion City as the deputy head of Beichen Hall to assist Qi Xuansu in investigating the case.

This is undoubtedly an attitude.

Li Changge is the third generation leader of the Li family. Now he is sent to Borneo by the second generation leader of the Li family to assist Qi Xuansu.

This undoubtedly shows the attitude of the Li family.

Or simply put, it was the attitude of Master Qingwei, and the Imperial Master chose to acquiesce.

The Imperial Master's time in the human world is running out, and there is no way to establish a successor. Without that time, the only choice is Qingwei Zhenren. In this case, what the National Master has to do is to pave the way for Master Qingwei, support him on his horse for the last journey, and help Master Qingwei establish his

authority, rather than suppressing the real person Qingwei and damaging the prestige of the real person Qingwei. In this process, the national teacher mainly plays a role as a foil, using his last period of time to be a stepping stone for the younger generations. Therefore, as long as it is not a life-or-death decision, the national master will basically not oppose Qingwei's decision.

From the perspective of the Li family, it means that the Li family will no longer protect Wang Jiaohe. From the perspective of Qingwei Zhenren, he sent Li Changge to come forward in person, which would give Qi Xuansu a great help, just like Yao Pei can mobilize the power of the Yao family, and Zhang Yuelu can mobilize the power of the Zhang family, which means that "Heavenly Court" is not only no longer Resistance will instead become a boost. The reason is simple. Regardless of which faction of the Li family Wu Guangbi has a closer relationship with, Patriarch Jin Gong will not offend the next two generations of leaders of the Li family in one fell swoop, and the national master has only been ascended and passed away for many years.

In this way, Zhang Yuelu, Li Changge, and Yao Pei gathered in Borneo, which meant that the Zhang family, Li family, and Yao family had reached an agreement on this matter.

Looking at the entire Jinque, who can object?

Are you from the same lineage as the Great Master?

Jiang Dazhen, who represents the lineage of the Grand Master, is in Borneo at this time, and challenged Wang Jiaohe at the temporary meeting not long ago.

Although there have been many twists and turns, in the end the overall situation has been decided and there are no other variables.

This was really a big return gift, and he gave it directly to Qi Xuansu from the Wang family.

Qi Xuansu knew that he could sound the clarion call to attack the Wang family.

However, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh, look at the people around him, no one is from a noble family, no one is a master, young masters, young ladies, even the suppressed Wang family and Sun family are the same.

As for him, he also got seven

Only the mother's light can stand in the center of this stage.

What happened in the Six Dynasties was just a private plan.

Getting rid of the Wang family does not represent Taoism, and it has nothing to do with justice.

This is just another loser on the road to power.
