Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu has always been in the Taoist priest class, and now he is still a high-ranking Taoist priest among Taoist priests. He is not as good as the real people who live in the upper echelons, but he can still be regarded as a middle class.

This means that he has a certain degree of "freedom".

The so-called "freedom" can be understood as, to a certain extent, not being bound by rules or constraints, or to put it more bluntly, certain privileges.

Everyone hates privileges and hates that they don’t have privileges.

Qi Xuansu was like this in the past, but today he is very grateful for this "freedom". It is a sin for ordinary people to roar in court, and it is also a sin to bump into officials' honor guards. If they dare to cause trouble for a guarding general, they are severing themselves from the king's law. Zhao Fuan didn't even have to take action himself, as long as his men in black could suppress him.

However, for a high-quality Taoist priest, the roar in the court was just a louder voice, and the collision with the honor guard was just a misunderstanding. Zhao Fuan naturally could not let his men in black suppress Qi Xuansu. He could not bear the consequences. The Taoist sect would Even if it takes his life, the court will not protect him.

So Qi Xuansu stood here openly.

The Daomen crane cloak is a long coat with wide sleeves and double breasts. Qi Xuansu untied the ties of the double breasts, opened his arms, and let the autumn wind blow the clothes. If this is done on a formal occasion and it is considered a dishonorable appearance, you will be warned by the Taoist supervising priest of the ancestral hall. However, there were naturally no Taoist priests to monitor the temple at this time. Instead, Qi Xuansu was allowed to regain some of the grudges and willful behavior he had enjoyed when he was in the world.

The two of them just stood there, as if waiting for someone.

The man in black guarding the door also murmured in his mind, if this was an old acquaintance, why didn't he just pass the greeting card to the door? Are you here to seek revenge?

Ji Jiaozhen took another sip of wine and spit out the smell of alcohol mixed with the smell of medicine.

Not long after, several luxurious carriages drove over.

"It seems we have a few more spectators." Ji Jiaozhen smiled.

Qi Xuansu slowly rolled up his sleeves and said slowly: "That's great. I can't kill Zhao Fu'an. In fact, I just want to embarrass him. The more shame, the better."

A moment later, a majestic figure appeared on the steps of the government office, wearing a second-grade public uniform.

The chief military officer was originally like a governor and was not a permanent official. He was only a temporary official position, so he had no specific rank. However, in this dynasty, it was temporarily changed to a permanent position. Although the admiral military affairs general officer was controlled by the governor, he was at the same level as the governor, starting from the first-rank senior officials and second only to the first-rank ministers. Therefore, the garrison chief military officer was a second-rank or second-rank officer. From a second-grade official.

Military attachés embroidered animals to demonstrate their ferocity. The second grade Suanni is the fifth son of the nine sons born from the dragon, and looks like a lion.

In the entire Shuzhong Mansion, only Zhao Fuan is qualified to wear this second-grade military attache uniform. Whether he recognizes Zhang Fuan or not, he can be recognized at a glance.

Qi Xuansu's eyes immediately locked on this person.

Perhaps feeling Qi Xuansu's gaze, Zhao Fu'an did not greet the dignitaries who were getting off the car, but looked this way.

The dignitaries who had just got off the carriage noticed something strange and followed Zhao Fuan's gaze.

I saw two Taoist priests walking slowly towards this side.

The entire Daping was completely silent, and only the whimpering sound of the autumn wind could be heard.

Zhao Fuan had a good memory, so he recognized these two people.

One was the young Taoist priest whose arm was broken by him, and the other was the old Taoist priest who broke his arm.

It's not surprising that the two know each other, and it's even more reasonable for the old Taoist priest to stand up for the young Taoist priest.

He was no match for the old Taoist priest. One of his arms was broken, but he accepted it.

But according to the broken rules, this is considered a tie and should end there.

If you don't give in, you are breaking the rules.

Zhao Fu'an didn't think that the two Taoist priests came to meet him and laugh away their grudges.

Afterwards, he specifically investigated the origin of the old Taoist priest. He was born in the Ji family of the Quanzhen Taoist family, a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, a real person, and the deputy head of the Shuzhou Taoist House. This meant that there was a lot of people intertwined behind the old Taoist priest. It is a huge and intricate net that can affect the whole body. It is very difficult to move this old Taoist priest.

The little Taoist priest seemed to be not simple either. He was traveling with Zhang Yuelu, his surname was Qi, and he had the "Chu Zhen Sutra Ribbon" hanging on his waist. He had become a fourth-level Taoist priest at a young age. Let's think about his relationship with the old Taoist priest surnamed Ji. , most likely from the Quanzhen Dao Qi family.

The price of impulse.

Zhao Fu'an thought so self-deprecatingly and did not speak rashly.

On the contrary, Qi Xuansu took a few steps forward and said proactively: "General Zhao, after we say goodbye to Baidi City, we meet again."

Zhao Fu'an stared at Qi Xuansu: "I haven't formally asked for advice yet."

He emphasized the word "formal" very seriously.

Qi Xuansu said: "It's easy to say. Qi Xuansu, the head of Ziwei Hall and the fourth-grade wine-sacrifice priest of Quanzhen Taoism, is polite."

Even so, Qi Xuansu didn't mean to salute at all. Instead, he put his hands on his hips, arrogantly and rudely.

Zhao Fu'an said with emotion: "A Taoist priest of the fourth grade who is less than thirty years old and serves in Ziweitang, the head of the nine halls, has a bright future."

Qi Xuansu smiled: "What's the use of having a promising future? No matter how good the future is, it will only happen in the future and is of no use now. Even if I can become a real person in the future, it will not prevent me from being beaten like a lost dog now. Still Some people say that Vice Hall Master Zhang can compete for the eighth generation of Grand Master. Is it useful? In Baidi City, it is better to swallow it. Speaking of promising people, the person with the most promising future is probably His Highness, but you can't treat the Crown Prince as the emperor. Yes, because His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not be happy with it.”

Ji Jiaozhen didn't say a word and put his hands behind his back.

Zhao Fu'an's expression was solemn: "What Master Qi said is quite inappropriate."

Qi Xuansu said indifferently: "If it's inappropriate, then it's inappropriate. Because I am under the direct control of Ziweitang and the local Taoist government has no jurisdiction, so General Zhao can write to the Daolu Department of the Ministry of Rites, and the Daolu Department will connect with our Daomen Temple Sacrifice Hall. Then the Ancestral Hall handed it over to Fengxiantang for them to review my words and deeds. However, according to Taoist law, Fengxiantang only has the power to investigate and not arrest. If they wanted to investigate me, they would have to fight with my boss. Hello, because Feng Xiantang and Ziweitang are on the same level, if Ziweitang agrees, then that’s it. If Ziweitang doesn’t agree, it will be submitted to Jinque for review. "

What does it mean to be influenced by one’s ears and eyes? The wild Taoist priest who originally only knew how to wield swords and guns, has seen many things and can also speak these official expressions. This is called being influenced by what he has heard.

Zhao Fuan's throat moved but he said nothing.

Qi Xuansu continued: "After all, our Taoist sect pays attention to handling things according to the law, and everything must follow a rule. Take the matter between me and General Zhao. General Zhao did not hesitate to break one of my arms in order to obstruct the handling of the case. This is obviously very unruly. . But I can’t be as unruly as General Zhao. If I do this and spread the word, my fellow students who claim to be smart will laugh at me for being barbaric.”

Zhao Fuan's face didn't look very good.

Even Ji Jiaozhen couldn't help but smile.

Qi Xuansu's words were very similar to those of the Li family. He not only mocked Zhao Fuan, but also mocked some Taoist people. Of course, if Ji Jiao was really serious, then it was against the rules for him to hit Zhao Fuan, and it was within the scope of being ridiculed. However, he did not feel dissatisfied, but found it quite interesting.

At this moment, a female voice came from among the dignitaries who got off the carriage: "What on earth are you going to do?"

Qi Xuansu followed the voice and saw a young lady with a lot of money. She was no less childish than Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei, and had the spirit of a young man.

There was no smile on Qi Xuansu's face. Although he was looking at the young girl, his words were meant for Zhao Fu'an: "I want to get back some of the things I plan to get back in a proper way."

Ji Jiaozhen, who had been silent all this time, added: "If General Zhao also intends to ask Pindao to get something back, then Pindao will accompany him, but it will take a different time. This time, Pindao will only act as a witness. "

Qi Xuansu deliberately concealed his clumsiness and did not show any celestial spirit. He mainly showed his martial arts heritage without body and spirit. Even if his blood energy is stronger, in the eyes of others, he is at most the cultivation level of Jiuzhonglou in the stage of returning to his true form.

As for the news that Qi Xuansu became a heavenly being, it was only circulated in a very small area, and not many people knew about it. This is also the reason why Qi Xuansu rushed to find Zhao Fuan as soon as he left the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. If Zhao Fuan knew that he had become a heavenly being, Zhao Fuan would not be fooled.

It is not difficult for a man from a public family to be able to bend and stretch. Qi Xuansu couldn't force Zhao Fuan to fight him, let alone kill Zhao Fuan. This was the best way he could think of under the current circumstances.

Qi Xuansu said: "Our Taoist sect has always had a tradition of private fights. As long as both parties agree and no lives are harmed, it is in line with the rules. General Zhao is not a Taoist sect, but as far as I know, the imperial court also recognizes this rule of."

"I formally proposed a private fight request to General Zhao today. General Zhao will not refuse, right?"

"General Zhao, with his celestial cultivation, can be placed in our Taoist sect. Even if he cannot become a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, he will at least be a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest. You won't be afraid of me, a little fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest, right?"

Zhao Fuan did not answer immediately, but was a little surprised.

He couldn't figure out where Qi Xuansu's confidence came from to challenge him.

Others besides Ji Jiaozhen also didn't understand. They obviously didn't think that such a young man would be a heavenly being. Such an honor should only belong to the proud men of heaven such as Zhang Yuelu, Yao Pei, and Li Changge, not such an unknown person. generation.

Zhao Fu'an's eyes quickly moved to the black handgun hanging on Qi Xuansu's waist: "This is a dragon-painted handgun. If you load it with Dragon Eye Jiaba and hit the vital point, you can kill me. But I am very I’m curious where you got this gun. Not to mention a fourth-grade Jiji Taoist priest, it’s hard for even a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest to get it. Was it given to you by Deputy Hall Master Zhang?”

Qi Xuansu did not answer, but took off the "Dragon Painting Gun" from his waist and handed it to Ji Jiaozhen beside him: "Please Ji Jiaozhen, please keep it for me for the time being."

Then he looked at Zhao Fuan again: "General Zhao, I don't have a dragon-painted gun anymore."
