Volume 1 Seven Grades of Taoist Priests Chapter 39 Provocation
After Qi Xuansu responded, Zhang Yuelu asked Qi Xuansu to leave for the time being, and she had to face the others.
When Qi Xuansu left the duty room, he happened to face to face with the person who was preparing to face him, and it was not someone else, it was the six-rank Taoist priest who carried a big knife.
Qi Xuansu smiled at this person.
This person was indifferent, and seemed to look down on Qi Xuansu's showmanship, so he went straight into the duty room.
Qi Xuansu was not annoyed, and was about to leave here, but Sun Yongfeng greeted him.
Without waiting for Qi Xuansu to speak, Sun Yongfeng took the initiative to bow his hand: "Brother Qi, can you take a step to speak?" ”
Qi Xuansu hesitated slightly and nodded.
The hall master and deputy hall master have special single-family courtyards. The chief officer, deacon, and other subordinate officials under his command also handle official affairs among them.
The single-family courtyard to which Zhang Yuelu belongs is called Shaoguangxuan, Zhang Yuelu, as the deputy hall master, occupies the main hall, and Sun Yongfeng is next door to Zhang Yuelu. However, Zhang Yuelu was on duty today and went to the duty room, but he was not here, so the door of the main hall was locked.
In terms of specifications, the deacon has only one room, the main hall has two rooms, the deputy hall master has four rooms, and the rest of the people share a large room.
Sun Yongfeng directly invited Qi Xuansu into the inner room, instructed the Taoist boy in charge of waiting to serve tea, and then beckoned Qi Xuansu to take a seat. Compared to the last time we met, it was a world of difference.
After the two sat down separately, Sun Yongfeng quietly put two large tickets with a denomination of one hundred on the small coffee table between the two.
Qi Xuansu glanced at it, and said, "Master Sun, this is ......"
"Mage or something, it's too raw." Sun Yongfeng smiled, "How old am I to be stupid, I call Brother Qi a lot, and Brother Qi calls me an elder brother." ”
Qi Xuansu didn't take it seriously, but said, "Don't dare, I'll call Sun the master." The deputy hall master said that it is good to call the position on a formal occasion, and as for private, I will call Brother Sun a big name. ”
Sun Yongfeng nodded and asked, "Speaking of the deputy hall master, I don't know what is the relationship between Brother Qi and the deputy hall master?" ”
Qi Xuansu expected this, in his opinion, Zhang Yuelu's move today has pushed him to the forefront, so he doesn't have to be polite when he should pull the tiger skin, if he stupidly says that he just met Zhang Yuelu, wouldn't the benefits be all cheap for Zhang Yuelu, and the disadvantages for himself?
Qi Xuansu pretended to mutter: "It's just an ordinary friend." ”
Sun Yongfeng is also a treacherous and cunning fox, if Qi Xuansu is a close friend when he opens his mouth, he doesn't believe it at all, but Qi Xuansu said that the two are just ordinary friends, but he is half-convinced.
Speaking seriously, Qi Xuansu really didn't lie, the word "friend" was not said by Qi Xuansu himself, it was Zhang Yuelu who took the initiative to put it forward.
Sun Yongfeng observed Qi Xuansu's expression, trying to see something from it, and said: "This is Brother Qi's unkindness, since you and the deputy hall master are old acquaintances, why bother to entertain the elder brother." ”
Qi Xuansu's mind turned sharply, and he said vaguely: "If I don't hide it from Master Sun, I have no choice but to do it." ”
Sun Yongfeng already suspected that Zhang Yuelu instructed Qi Xuansu to set himself up, but when he heard Qi Xuansu say this, he felt that his guess was confirmed, and he became more and more convinced.
Qi Xuansu stretched out his hand and pressed the two big tickets on the coffee table, and slowly pushed them in front of Sun Yongfeng: "These two hundred Taiping money, when I make amends to Master Sun, I hope Director Sun will not dislike it." ”
A slight smile appeared on Sun Yongfeng's face, and he did not refuse Qi Xuansu's kindness, but felt that Qi Xuansu was quite upright and could make friends.
Qi Xuansu was a little distressed and lost and regained and lost two hundred Taiping money, and in line with the idea of making the best use of things, he said: "I still have one more matter, I want to ask Master Sun for something." ”
"What's the matter?" Sun Yongfeng was slightly stunned.
Qi Xuansu said: "When I came out of the duty room just now, I met a person with a rather unkind look, I don't know what his origin is?" ”
Sun Yongfeng's business can still pass: "This person's name is Xu Kou, a six-grade Taoist, a martial artist in the flesh and blood derivative realm, nicknamed 'Little Yama'." He was once a Qingluan Wei Baihu, and later entered the Daomen, served in the Qizhou Provincial Government, and was demoted to a seven-grade Taoist priest for torturing prisoners to death, and later arrested the leader of the Qingping Society, and was re-promoted to a six-grade Taoist priest. If he has a place to collide with the Qi brothers, the Qi brothers will still be more tolerant, after all, they are a muddy person, and they have the support of the Qizhou Provincial Government behind them, which is very difficult to mess with. ”
"Thank you, Master Sun, for telling me." Qi Xuansu showed a sudden look on his face, but there were turbulent waves in his heart.
This man once captured the leader of the Cheonghei Society.
In the Qingping Society, Ding and others are only peripheral members, C is a full member, and B members can be regarded as the leader, that is, Qi Niang.
Qi Niang once put the six-grade Taoist Zhuge Yongming to death with one move, although there was a reason for the sneak attack, but it can also be seen that the strength is far above Qi Xuansu, Xu Kou can capture a member of the Qingping Society, either the realm cultivation is very good, or there is a backer behind him, and he can mobilize enough manpower.
Either way, it means that this person is very difficult to mess with.
At this time, Sun Yongfeng's Taoist boy came to report, and the deputy hall master asked the chief to come over.
Qi Xuansu got up and said goodbye: "Since that's the case, I won't bother." ”
Sun Yongfeng was now held by Zhang Yuelu, and he didn't dare to snub this deputy hall master, so he didn't want to keep Qi Xuansu anymore.
Qi Xuansu came out of Shaking Guangxuan, but he did not leave Tiangang Hall directly, after all, he had been appointed by Zhang Yuelu as one of the six deacons, and after Zhang Yuelu finished his face, he would have to gather everyone to announce various appointments.
Qi Xuansu simply found a shaded place and waited silently, during which there were a few people who came over to set up a close, probably because he saw that Qi Xuansu and the deputy hall advocated the uncommon relationship between Yuelu.
When Qi Xuansu didn't open the killing ring, he was very talkative, just like putting a knife in his sheath, without seeing the slightest edge, and dealing with them politely one by one.
waited until the afternoon, Zhang Yuelu's interview was finally over, and a total of more than 30 people were brushed away, not including the principal and deacons, only 72 people remained, and each deacon had 12 people.
Zhang Yuelu didn't rest either, and after the interview was over, he immediately summoned everyone to shake Guangxuan.
Qi Xuansu followed everyone back to Shake Guangxuan.
In the courtyard of Shaoguangxuan, Zhang Yuelu first introduced the two principals to everyone, both of whom were assigned by the hall master, one was Sun Yongfeng, and the other was to abandon his real name with the Taoist name, called Lingquanzi. Both of them are fourth-grade Taoist priests, but Sun Yongfeng is the left chief and has a higher status.
Then there were the six deacons appointed by Zhang Yuelu himself.
The first is Qi Xuansu, who has the lowest grade among the six deacons, everyone else is sixth-grade, and there is even a fifth-grade, but Qi Xuansu is a seventh-grade.
However, to Qi Xuansu's surprise, everyone was not very surprised, and even many people even showed a look of "sure enough", it seems that they have decided that Qi Xuansu will be appointed as a deacon.
Qi Xuansu could only smile helplessly, in this way, he could be regarded as completely confirming the identity of Zhang Yuelu's confidant, the advantage is that others will be afraid of him, and will not provoke him, the disadvantage is that others will stay away from him, after all, the boss's henchman still has a name - dog legs.
After Qi Xuansu, it was Xu Kou.
In terms of this person's ability and qualifications, he could have been promoted to the fifth rank a long time ago, but because he made too many mistakes, he stayed at the sixth grade, and it was reasonable to be appointed as a deacon.
However, as a deacon, Xu Kou didn't look down on Qi Xuansu at all.
Sometimes, human fate is so wonderful.
If Qi Xuansu only met Zhang Yuelu today, then Zhang Yuelu would not look up to Qi Xuansu, but the two participated in other people's wedding banquets together without knowing each other's identities and drank together, which made the relationship between the two quickly closer.
In the same way, if it was in other places, such as the rivers and lakes under the mountain, Qi Xuansu met Xu Kou, and the two might be able to become friends. But the first time the two met was at the gate of Xuandu, and the spiritual officer guarding the door did not check Qi Xuansu but specifically checked Xu Kou, coupled with Zhang Yuelu's preference for Qi Xuansu, Xu Kou had a great bad feeling towards Qi Xuansu.
Zhang Yuelu did not rush to announce the candidates for the other four deacons, and said: "Deacon Qi and Deacon Xu are both candidates I am extremely optimistic about, and I hope that the two of you can work together in the future." ”
Qi Xuansu hugged his fist towards Xu Kou and saluted.
Xu Kou was indifferent, just glanced at Qi Xuansu obliquely.
Qi Xuansu opened his mouth and asked, "Deacon Xu, are you sick with both eyes?" Why can't you look straight ahead? I don't mean anything else, I'm just worried that you won't be able to see normally, and if you accidentally cut me with a knife in the future, it will also be wronged. ”
As soon as these words came out, a few people almost couldn't hold back their laughter, and they didn't dare to offend Xu Kou, so they hurriedly lowered their heads, but their shoulders were still shaking slightly.
Even Zhang Yuelu hooked the corners of his mouth.
Anyone can see that this little Yan Luo is a thorn, Zhang Yuelu wants to use his ability, but he doesn't like his temper and style.
Xu Kou didn't get angry, and finally looked at Qi Xuansu squarely, but it was like looking at a dead person: "Are you looking for death?" ”
Qi Xuansu said: "It turns out that you can see things normally, so who do you pretend to show you?" If you have any grievances against me, you can say it in public. ”
Xu Kou narrowed his eyes and looked Qi Xuansu up and down: "A mere seven-grade Taoist priest, why should he be a deacon?" Is that enough? ”
"That's enough." Qi Xuansu nodded, then glanced at Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Yuelu said that whether Qi Xuansu can serve the public depends on his own ability, but this "public" refers to a group of subordinates, not colleagues and bosses.
Xu Kou is also a deacon, not Qi Xuansu's subordinate, and his grade is one level higher than Qi Xuansu, which is not within the scope of serving the public.
Since Zhang Yuelu wants him to be a confidant, he must always give some support.
Zhang Yuelu quietly glared at Qi Xuansu, but still spoke: "Qi Xuansu is a deacon, it is my decision, and Deacon Xu is questioning my decision?" ”
