Lion City is such an important place, Borneo Provincial Government naturally wants to send a deputy lord here, and the specifications of the Lion City's Taoist Palace are second only to Sheji Palace, called Tianfu Palace.

It is not the ancestor of the Taishang Dao who is enshrined here, but the queen of heaven. The earliest Tianfu Palace was not very large, and after Daomen came to Nanyang, it was expanded again and again, and now it has become a state-level palace, located in the central area of Lion City.

The deputy lord of Tianfu Palace is named Xie Jiaofeng, ranking fourth among the deputy lords of Borneo Daofu, second only to Qi Xuansu, Xu Jiaorong, and Wang Jiaoying.

This also makes sense, after all, the location of the Lion City is too important. As for why it is not Wang Jiaoying who sits in Lion City, because Wang Jiaoying is the deputy lord of Dayu Kingdom.

Although the Grand Governor, the Governor Zhenren, the Chief Deputy Governor, and the Second Deputy Governor are all in the Shenglong Mansion in the Great Yu Kingdom, their duty is to manage the entire Daofu, just like the cabinet is located in the imperial capital but does not mean that the cabinet has to specifically manage the big and small affairs of the imperial capital.

Wang Jiaoying's position is similar to that of the Shuntian Mansion Yin of the imperial court, which is very important, and he is responsible for the specific affairs of Dayu State, so Wang Jiaoying personally went out to force the palace at the beginning.

This time in the affairs of the Great Yu Kingdom, of course Wang Jiaoying is responsible, but there are still the real people in charge of the mansion and the real people in charge of the mansion above him, especially when it comes to the defection of the chief deputy mansion master, strictly speaking, the chief deputy mansion master is half of the boss of the other seven ordinary deputy mansion masters, this is the problem at the level of Jinque and Daofu, and this responsibility is not something that a deputy mansion master can afford.

It's like the general abandoned the city and abandoned the land, and he can't hold accountable why the ordinary generals below didn't supervise him well, but should hold accountable the people who guaranteed him to become a general, and the people who have the ability to restrain and supervise him, plus Jin Que intends to stabilize the Wang family, so Wang Jiaoying was not dismissed, and he was also reprimanded.

Xie Jiaofeng, strictly speaking, is not a person from the Wang family, nor is he a person from Chen Shuhua, at least at the level of the Taoist government, he is not a person, he is just a wall grass, he will fall wherever the wind blows, he used to naturally stand on Wang Jiaohe's side, the last time the Taoist government discussed, he saw that the signs were wrong, so he wisely maintained his independence.

But then again, he can occupy the key position of Lion City, and he is not an ordinary person, he has no clear camp at the Taoist level, but if you look up, he was born in the Xie family, a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Xie family is a Confucian.

Daomen advocates the integration of the three ways, just as Cihang was born in Buddhism before, and the Pei family can actually be regarded as a Confucian origin, and it has often married with Confucian families over the years, so Xie Jiaofeng is actually a person on the line of the Pei family.

Donghua Zhenren sent him to Borneo, the original intention was to mix sand, the situation in Borneo was complicated, and Jin Que did not make up his mind at that time, or did not form a unified opinion, so Xie Jiaofeng did not do anything, he could only sway with the wind, at most to ensure that he would not be pulled into the water.

Xie Jiaofeng was also among those who greeted Qi Xuansu this time, but Qi Xuansu was not impressed by him, this person did not have too much bookish anger and no Taoist morale, but there was a lot of bureaucracy.

Qi Xuansu came to Lion City this time, and naturally wanted to stay in Tianfu Palace. There is a considerable distance from the Flying Boat Port to Tianfu Palace, and in order to welcome Qi Xuansu, the Nanting Metropolitan Protectorate cleared the streets.

The long convoy was running on the deserted street, and Qi Xuansu's carriage was located in the middle of the convoy, and there were only three people in the carriage, namely Qi Xuansu, Xiao Yin and Chen Jianqiu.

Qi Xuansu was looking through the relevant files, Chen Jianqiu was in charge of sorting out the files that Qi Xuansu was going to read, Xiao Yin was bored, slumped in his position, yawned and didn't know how many times, looking drowsy.

She really didn't know what to look like about those densely packed dossiers, and she dozed off at one glance, and fell asleep at the second glance.

At that moment, the carriage suddenly stopped. Qi Xuansu, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?" Chen Jianqiu immediately got up: "I'll take a look." The sleepy Xiao Yin also followed: "I'll go too!" Chen Jianqiu refused without thinking about it: "You are responsible for the security of the chief." Xiao Yin sat back again, pouting unhappily.

Chen Jianqiu got out of the carriage, and soon went and returned, standing under the carriage and reporting to Qi Xuansuyu: "Chief, ask clearly, someone is blocking the road to complain." Qi Xuansu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is the reason for suing?" Chen Jianqiu said: "I didn't ask deeply, it seems to be related to the Nanyang United Trading Company, the husband of the complainant is the bookkeeper of the Nanyang United Trading Company, and he died suddenly some time ago, she thinks that her husband was killed by the people of the Nanyang United Trading Company, so she came to block the road to complain." Qi Xuansu was stunned.

All the good things are in one piece? He came to the Lion City this time, nominally, of course, to continue the unfinished inspection trip last time, but in fact he came for the Nanyang United Trading Company, he and Zhang Yuelu are bright and dark, Zhang Yuelu can start from the slave trade, which can be regarded as a strange soldier, and Qi Xuansu is responsible for the main attack, such as auditing and other things, he is responsible for it, and the name is justified.

Now that he has just arrived in the Lion City, someone has blocked the road and complained, which is like someone sending a pillow when he wants to sleep.

Qi Xuan was always interested, but now he is no longer the reckless and reckless young man in the past, and he did not rush to see this person who complained from an unknown source, but ordered: "Take her, if you have anything to say in Tianfu Palace." Chen Jianqiu took the order and left.

At this moment, a terrible and sharp sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded. The next moment, Qi Xuansu's carriage was accurately hit by a flame meteor that broke through the air, and the entire carriage instantly turned into a huge fireball, rising up like a mushroom.

Qi Xuansu in the carriage only felt red and white light fill his entire field of vision for a moment. Chen Jianqiu, who had just walked not far away, was directly blown out by a huge wave of qi and slammed into another carriage.

The entire convoy was in chaos, the black-clothed people and the spirit officers subconsciously formed a defensive formation, and several masters swept towards the direction where the flame meteor was coming from.

Qin Hengjun and Xie Jiaofeng rushed to Qi Xuansu's carriage for the first time. Xie Jiaofeng's face was about to turn white, if Jin Que's newly appointed chief deputy mansion master died in Lion City, and he died under his nose, then his career would be considered to be over, and the position of this deputy mansion master would not be kept.

He could imagine how thunderous and furious Donghua Zhenren should be. Qin Hengjun's face was not good-looking, because he realized that the assassin used a firearm to sneak attack, and firearms of this specification would basically not be circulated outside, and they must be strictly controlled, so the source was nothing more than two places, one was the Daomen, and the other was the Daxuan Imperial Court.

If it is Daomen's firearms, then it is good to say that this is Daomen's own people fighting and kicking the quilt, and he, an outsider, is at most a dereliction of duty.

But if it was finally found out that the firearm came from the side of the Nanting Metropolitan Protectorate, then he didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

Just as the two of them were at a loss, the charred wreckage of the carriage moved, and then a small black shadow crawled out of it.

That's right, it's a black shadow, black from head to toe, with only a mouthful of white teeth left. The point was that the little black shadow didn't seem to be in trouble, she shook the black ash off her body, and then dragged a person out of the wreckage that was still a little bit of a fire.

It was Qi Xuansu. Qin Hengjun and Xie Jiaofeng immediately rushed forward left and right. Qi Xuansu was also disgraced, but he was pressed under Xiao Yin's body at that time, and his face was fine, and he didn't become like Xiao Yin.

And Qi Xuansu's physique is there, he is not an immortal or a qi refiner, he mainly relies on

The support of "Qi" is not supported by Wu Zhu's divine power, and these inheritances will drop by several grades after the support of the realm is lost.

Qi Xuansu is the physique of a martial artist, even if his cultivation is damaged, at most the power of his fist intent and other aspects will be weakened, and his physique is still that physique.

So Qi Xuansu is still worry-free. As for Xiao Yin, this guy can't be reasoned with, there is a certain abnormality after eating dragon meat, and it will not be surprising to be killed or unscathed.

Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm fine, what about the person who blocked the way and complained?" By this time, Qi Xuansu had already reacted, and the so-called roadblock complaint was mostly a pretense to stop the convoy and attract attention.

They also calculated that Qi Xuansu would ask people to ask what was going on, so that Qi Xuansu's carriage could be determined.

The stopped convoy, the sure carriage, and the slight delay of the man who stood in the way gave enough time to aim.

An assassination is done. Qin Hengjun also reacted quickly, got up and called his adjutant over.

The adjutant came to Qin Hengjun's side for the first time. Qin Hengjun asked, "What about the person who blocked the way and complained?" The adjutant said in a low voice: "The incident happened suddenly, she ran away, and injured our two brothers. Qin Hengjun's face almost sank, and he didn't speak.

The adjutant was silent. At this time, Qi Xuansu spoke: "Let's run, let's run, people are prepared, we were caught off guard, and it is reasonable." This matter is still investigated slowly. While speaking, Qi Xuansu didn't forget to pat Xiao Yin with the black ash on his body.

Qin Hengjun said at this time: "It was our dereliction of duty, and after I went back, I immediately reported to Dadu Hu and thoroughly investigated the matter." "In terms of position, Qin Hengjun is not lower than Qi Xuansu, but such a thing happened under the nose of the Nanting Protectorate, Qin Hengjun could not escape the responsibility, which was a natural loss, so he had to give Qi Xuansu an explanation.

Xie Jiaofeng also hurriedly said: "Yes, it must be thoroughly investigated, it's too frustrating." Qi Xuansu is actually not angry, the reason why many people who were assassinated are angry is actually because they are extremely angry, they are angry, and they are afraid of hovering on the line of life and death.

Qi Xuansu did not lack this kind of experience or experience, so he was not afraid and could control his emotions well.

Now, he had to reorganize his thinking and shift his focus to the assassination first.
