Greeting Dazhen is essentially an errand of the Daofu, Yao Pei and Li Zhuyu can come or not, Zhang Yuelu, as a person from the Lingnan Daofu, simply did not come, but stayed in the Lion City to preside over the situation.

Yao Pei happened to be in Shenglong Mansion, and it was the right time for him, so he came to greet Dazhen together, and Li Zhuyu's main battlefield was in Lion City, so there was no need to go all the way to make a special trip.

The same is true for Jiang Dazhen last time he greeted him in the imperial capital, a group of young people happened to be in the imperial capital, and even lived on the edge of Penglai Pond, so they naturally had to go to greet him, if they were not in the imperial capital at that time, there was no need to run back again.

Li Zhuyu is the acting deputy hall master of Beichen Hall, the reason why Beichen Hall is the upper third hall, and Fengxian Hall is not, because in addition to the internal of Beichen Hall, the main responsibility of Beichen Hall also includes external covert operations, which Fengxian Hall does not have.

With the weakening of Buddhism and the loss of its original momentum, who else can be called the enemy of Taoism outside? Naturally, it's the Holy See.

Therefore, the Beichen Hall has a lot of dealings with the Holy Court, which is not inferior to the Ancestral Hall. Zhang Yuelu and Li Zhuyu are both from Beichen Hall, but Zhang Yuelu changed his route to Tiangang Hall halfway, and now everyone in the Daomen basically thinks that Zhang Yuelu is from Tiangang Hall, and almost does not mention the stubble of Beichen Hall.

Qi Xuansu is the same, he was born in Tiangangtang, but he went to Ziweitang halfway, and now others also think that he was born in Ziweitang.

To put it bluntly, where to be the first deputy hall master is crucial. Li Zhuyu has always been rooted in Beichen Hall, and in terms of business ability in this area, he is still powerful, much stronger than Zhang Yuelu, after all, Zhang Yuelu only came into contact with the internal aspect when he was in Beichen Hall, and basically did not involve the external aspect.

During the last riot, after Qi Xuansu declared martial law, many people were arrested by the Nanting Metropolitan Protectorate and imprisoned in the barracks.

After these people were controlled, the men in black sent people to register them separately and determine their identities.

According to Qi Xuansu's request, this part of the thieves should be controlled and screened, and surprise interrogations should be conducted for organizers, instigators, and those who caused major damage.

There is also a difference, if you are a native of Borneo and are an accomplice, then you are only restricted from your range of activities, you cannot leave the barracks, you are not shackled, and you are guarded by men in black.

If it is an outsider such as a Westerner or a Xiposuzhou person, they are arranged to be placed in a more closely guarded place and interrogated strictly, and the black-clothed man in charge of guarding not only has a firecracker, but even sets up a thunderbolt that fires in bursts.

Then, according to the results of the interrogation, the behind-the-scenes forces that have not been arrested will be arrested. At the same time, the Nanting Protectorate sent men in black to take control of the Lion City and various ports to prevent these people from escaping.

After Li Zhuyu came over, he mainly docked with Qin Hengjun, which also made Qin Hengjun breathe a sigh of relief, he was really not good at these things, but he was forced to do it under pressure, and now that the real expert is here, he can also breathe a sigh of relief.

As the so-called noble essence is not expensive, Li Zhuyu did not bring many people, but they were mainly responsible for sorting out clues, determining goals, and when it came to specific implementation, there was no need for these Taoist priests to go into battle in person, and the black-clothed people and spiritual officials were in charge.

Organized black-clothed people or spirit officials, who fight collectively are much more powerful than ordinary Taoist priests fighting alone.

In any case, Nanyang has always been the territory of Daomen, and it is much easier to find external thieves on your own territory than to find internal ghosts on your own territory, because you have me, I have you, and everything in the world is bad here.

So Li Zhuyu's progress was faster than Yao Pei's, and she quickly locked on to the first target. According to the results of the interrogation and some other clues, a group of Western merchants is very suspicious, but they have never entered the Lion City, not even the port, but floated on the sea outside the city, once the situation is not right, it is convenient to turn around and run.

In order not to startle the snake, Li Zhuyu did not use the ironclad ship of the Nanting Metropolitan Protectorate, but borrowed a flying boat from Zhang Yuelu.

The two had worked together in Beichen Hall, which was considered to be a bit of incense, but at this time it was a conspiracy, and Zhang Yuelu had no reason not to borrow it.

Strictly speaking, it was Li Zhuyu who borrowed a flying boat from Xie Jiaofeng, and Zhang Yuelu's suggestion was to borrow it. Li Zhuyu plans to give these Westerners a divine surrender.

Because Westerners entered the South Seas under the banner of doing business, they could only have sea ships, and it was impossible to sail flying boats to the South Seas.

Before that, Li Zhuyu had been observing for a long time. This is a ship from Ibia, although not long ago, there were many disputes between the Kingdom of Lune, the Kingdom of Ibia, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which led to the instability of the situation in Xibasu, but in the end, under the pressure of the Holy See, the dispute between the three families was temporarily shelved, the status quo was maintained, and they were united with the outside world.

If the Holy See wants to punch, it must clench five fingers into a fist. The reason why Daomen is on the defensive on some fronts is not because Daomen is weaker, but because Daomen's internal friction in recent years has been more serious.

This kind of internal friction is not only an open and secret struggle such as the Jiangnan case, but even the war in the Western Regions and the war in Fenglinzhou are also the embodiment of this internal friction.

In the final analysis, this is a kind of competition, you defeated the Western Regions yesterday, and I defeated Fenglinzhou with my backhand today, and no one is weaker than the other.

In fact, these two battles are not indispensable, at least they don't have to be fought so quickly, and they don't have to fight continuously.

But the two princes and the forces behind them had to fight now in order to accumulate enough capital for the competition for the Great Palm Sect.

When the dust settles on the selection of the Great Palm Sect, it will not make such a big sense to fight again. In the case where the Dao Sect was fighting its own battle to a certain extent, the Holy Court naturally made considerable progress in other aspects.

Under the command of Li Zhuyu, it was borrowed

"Huang Yan" took off like a normal cargo ship, preparing to go to Thang Long Province, just as it passed over this Western ship.

The huge hatch used by the "Yellow Mantis" for unloading was opened, and one by one the spirit officers jumped out of it, and with the short flight ability brought by the spirit officer's armor, they quickly descended.

This scene is not surprising, Daomen used such means when attacking Kobe City, parachuting directly into the city, bypassing the city walls, and attacking both inside and outside.

At the same time, many Western soldiers appeared on deck, because they had to disguise themselves as merchants, so they could not wear armor, but they all had firearms in their hands.

Different from the firearms of the Central Plains, the firearms of Westerners are obviously developing in another direction, many people carry a backpack-like thing behind their backs, which is square, and there is a thin tube on the backpack connected to the long gun in their hands, so that the Westerners are not firing a projectile, but a shock wave, as sharp as a sword.

Depending on the backpack, there are also long guns that can continuously spew lightning, fire, and frost to suppress enemies.

All of a sudden, the Western soldiers on the ship opened their guns one after another, like a Taoist battle, and all kinds of brilliance were stirring.

The spirit officers are still equipped with firearms based on talisman projectiles, which do not have such a good-looking light and shadow effect, but they are better in terms of stronger penetration, and have explosive damage, as long as they hit the vital point, they are basically one

The word "dead". In terms of weapons alone, both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages. Lingguan is better than armor, as well as shields, and can even shoot against all kinds of bells and whistles of ice, fire, thunder and lightning, and the Westerners lack the necessary armor and dare not resist hard, but they occupy the terrain advantage of the ship, and there are some covers.

But after all, this is the home of Nanyang. After the spirit officer boarded the ship, the man in black also acted, and an ironclad ship that had been prepared for a long time struck diagonally and directly hit the side chord of the Western ship.

The men in black jumped onto the deck one after another. The situation gradually became chaotic, and the role of the firecrackers was no longer great, and each side drew their swords or handcuffs and began to fight in close combat.

At this moment, a burly Western officer came out of the captain's room, wearing a three-cornered hat, a beard, and a pipe in his mouth, spitting smoke like a chimney.

He bears some resemblance to the pirate captain many people remember, blind, severed hands, and broken legs, but instead of an eye patch, an iron hook, or a prosthetic leg, his blind eye is replaced by a prosthetic eye made of precious stones, and the severed arm and leg are fitted with prosthetic limbs, which shimmer with metallic luster throughout, and are connected to the real meridians of the flesh by fine metal pipes.

There are no talismans in the West, but there is alchemy. The world is developing, and the warlocks of the West are no longer the ancient image of only holding a staff and chanting spells, they have developed

"Alchemy Arcane" is not inferior to the creation of Taoism. In the concept of Western warlocks, alchemy and arcane are two incompatible things, whether it is the basic theory or the superstructure, they are two completely different systems, but later a great sage discovered that the two can be fused in the human body and achieve some kind of balance, so

The "Arcane of Alchemy" came into being, and it developed rapidly, and was directly controlled by the Arcane Council. The transformation of this man came from the Alpha Council

"Alchemical Arcane". If more than 200 years ago, Xuansheng did not integrate the Daomen, nor did he start the creation project on the basis of the legacy of his predecessors, but continued to rest on his laurels and continue to despise firearms as the Confucian sect, as a strange skill.

When this person appeared, he quickly turned the tide. Pass

The powerful power given by the "Alchemy Arcane", he is almost comparable to the celestials, and even the body without a prosthetic body has been specially strengthened by some kind of alchemy, with a magical supernatural similar to flesh and blood, as if the celestial martial arts are on a rampage, and the ordinary spirit officer is not his opponent at all.

Just when Li Zhuyu was about to make a personal move, another man in black burst into the battlefield, it was Qin Hengjun, the deputy protector of the Nanting Metropolitan Protectorate, who was not holding a firearm, but holding a pitch-black spear, which is also the most common blade in the army.

Qin Hengjun went straight to the captain of the Western Ocean. The captain also saw Qin Hengjun's terribleness, and no longer with his bare hands, but pulled out his own saber.

Knives and guns hit each other, Qin Hengjun shook the spear in his hand, first pressed the barrel of the spear like a half moon, and then flicked it upward, shaking the long knife in the captain's hand, and at the same time, the tip of the spear was like a spiritual snake spitting out letters, castration endlessly, stabbing into the side neck of the captain who couldn't dodge, pulling out the spear, only to see a big blood hole, but no blood flowed, but spewed out billowing white steam from it.

The captain acted as if nothing was wrong, and through the wound, he could vaguely see various metal pipes, rotating gears, and undulating pistons.
