Another poor ghost was thrown into the basement of the Baron's Mansion by Qi Xuansu, and went with the magistrate Rose.

Now, it is no longer a basement, but a temporary dungeon transformed by Qi Xuansu's pseudo-immortal cultivation.

What is Qi Xuansu doing?

In fact, it is very simple, it is what the baron wants, to draw all attention to his side, and at the same time, ***, to buy the baron time so that he can explore the mausoleum. Then Qi Xuansu sat here and waited for the rabbit, giving a surprise to the baron who returned with a full load.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the baron ran away directly after getting the harvest. However, Qi Xuansu believes that the impersonal Holy Court officials have not made any moves so far, most of them are with the same attitude as themselves, waiting to sit back and enjoy the results, how can these people let the baron escape easily?

There is no need for Qi Xuansu to worry about it.

The best way for the baron to break the game is to give things to the Holy Court, in exchange for some preferential treatment or compensation from the Holy Court, after all, the Baron is half of his own people, and he also has his own connections in Shangcheng District.

As for the Baron's blood clan identity, it is all a minutiae.

The status of the Bloodlines in the West is similar to that of the Secret Societies in the East, so it is easy to understand. The Bloodline has never been able to compete with the Holy Court, and even some of the Bloods have become de facto vassals of the Holy Court, just as many so-called secret societies are actually the black gloves of the Daomen's bigwigs.

The Bloods are nothing more than the servants of the Bishops, and the Werewolves are the hounds of the Bishops. Only the Daomen are the enemies of the bishops.

So the baron is actually his own man of the Holy See, not a heretic or a heretic. As for the title of "baron", although the blood clan likes to use the title to divide the strength, many maverick blood clans will not be like this, such as a blood clan, with the power of almost the ancestor, but claims to be an earl, the title here is often the real noble title, and with the rise of maritime trade, judging a nobleman is no longer based on the size of the territory, but the amount of net worth.

The same goes for the baron, who calls himself a baron, in no way means that he only has the strength of a baron.

Whether the baron chooses to escape or turn in, it is inseparable from the official Holy See.

Don't forget, Qi Xuansu's deity is still in Richmond, and he is about to attend a charity gala in Uptown, where there will most likely be relevant news, and Qi Xuansu can adapt to the situation when the time comes.

The deity listens to the information and acts immediately in the avatar, which is really far more efficient than others.

Today, however, there were many flies, and soon four more bats came to the door of the baron's mansion, and when they landed, they were four well-dressed gentlemen, without top hats, with pale faces and white gloves on their hands.

The four Bloods, the Baron's clansmen, asked to meet the Baron.

The reason why the baron was able to send his daughter back to the Old World for refuge was also thanks to the help of his kindred, in a sense, the baron's daughter was in the hands of these kindred, and it was reasonable for the baron to refuse the request of his kindred.

The strength of these four blood clans is not to say that they are inferior to Qi Xuansu, but they are inferior to the real barons, but they represent a big man.

Leopold Strauss, the leader of the local blood of St. York and a member of the City Council.

The reason why the Holy See wants to emphasize that they are the real masters of St. York is because the nominal owners of St. York should be the City Council, and the members of the City Council are not idle people.

For example, Josiah Strawney, behind him are several major multinational chambers of commerce, and among these chambers of commerce there is the shadow of Beichentang. Leopold is the same, he not only represents the blood forces, but also represents a considerable number of immigrants from the Old World, and has a deep public opinion base, so he can stand on the temple in a grand manner.

In addition, there are differences between parliamentarians and parliamentarians, which can be roughly divided into senior parliamentarians and ordinary parliamentarians, although both sides have only one vote, but the actual power and influence are completely different. Strawney is a young MP, and Leopold is undoubtedly a senior MP.

As for Leopold's relationship with Baron Ramon, strictly speaking, Ramon was Leopold's child

, that is, Leopold turned Ramon into a blood clan, and the two are father and son in the blood system, but Ramon became independent a long time ago, and he is considered a "teacher", so Ramon is not surnamed Strauss, but restores his original surname O'Shea, which is not a clan, but a small family.

Now, the "father" sent someone over, and according to common sense, the baron could not refuse. So Qi Xuansu invited them into the hall.

"Baron, please forgive me for coming for my rash visit." The leaders of the four Bloods said, "I have come to convey my father's wishes, and he wants to see you."

Qi Xuansu said casually, "I still have something to do, can you talk about it later."

The blood clan frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Qi Xuansu's perfunctory attitude, and accentuated his tone: "Father-in-law means, now, immediately, immediately."

Qi Xuansu didn't care and said, "Then let him wait."

"What did you say? Father has a dinner party, and he can only find a little time to see you before the dinner starts." That blood clan only thought that there was a problem with his ears and heard it wrong, how could the baron dare to be so rude? Could it be that the rumor is true, that the baron really obtained the power of the sun god Kukulkan from the underground mausoleum?

Qi Xuansu said: "A lot of people are old, and they are still so breathless, people who have gone to the Spring and Autumn Period, don't be too irritable."

This blood clan finally heard clearly, and couldn't help but point his finger at Qi Xuansu, his fingers trembled slightly, and he couldn't speak.

Such disrespectful words are really too presumptuous. How long has it been since no one dared to speak to my father like this? The previous one has become a skeleton under the harbor.

The old butler standing on the side couldn't help but close his eyes, even if this terrifying existence had no malice, it was just a game in the world, but the person he offended could not end. When the baron returned, the magistrate, the Holy Court, and the Bloodclan came to the door together, and the baron said that those things were done by a stand-in, do you think they believe it or not?

Qi Xuansu said, "You go back and tell Leopold that you really can't wait, you can come by yourself." If you don't want to come, just wait with peace of mind. I'll let him know when I'm free, that's all."

Wu Niang smiled: "Okay, I should talk like this, I have already seen that these pretentious guys are unhappy, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf."

The four Bloods looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say.

Seeing them standing still, Qi Xuansu frowned: "Not leaving?"

The four blood clans are indeed in a dilemma, their father sent them to invite the baron over, they never imagined that the baron would refuse, let alone that the baron would say such arrogant words, how should they go back and explain to their father? Convey the words of the Baron? I'm afraid they won't see the moon the next day.

Qi Xuansu said, "Well, since you don't leave, let's stay."

I saw him wave his hand again, and there were four more unlucky ghosts in the temporarily renovated dungeon.

Qi Xuansu leaned back on the sofa and said to the old butler, "Thanks to you for finding me, if it's just an ordinary adventurer as a stand-in, you have to show your stuffing."

The butler opened his eyes and whispered, "The speed of the movements of all parties is indeed unexpected."

The old butler hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but persuade: "Your Excellency, you have put so many people in the dungeon, even if you are fine in a short time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to end in the future."

Qi Xuansu almost wrote "What do you have to do with me" on his face, and said indifferently: "Then your wisdom will be tested."

This is the advantage of being in enemy territory, and you don't have to worry about some things at all.

The old butler wanted to cry without tears.

Qi Xuansu stood up, came to the window again, put his hands behind his back, and looked out at the night.

Wu Niang came to Qi Xuansu's side, leaning on the windowsill, the two of them happened to face in opposite directions, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"It's better to be still, let's wait and see." Qi Xuansu said.

At the same time, Qi Xuansu himself had already taken an airship with Strawney to the upper city.

The interior of the airship is not much different from the airship, except that the cabin of the airship is on top and the airship is suspended below

The specific principle structure is also different.

Today's Qi Xuansu changed into a Westerner's formal dress, which is the so-called tuxedo, which is a more formal dress, suitable for dinner parties and evening weddings. Ladies and ladies change into evening dresses, revealing their snow-white smooth shoulders.

It's just a short journey.

The airship soon landed in a purpose-built air harbor on a floating island.

Qi Xuansu, along with Strawney, Archbishop Swanson, and several other Holy See clergy, bathed in the aftermath of steam, stepped off the airship.

This floating island has a traditional Western luxury manor, full of flowers, green trees, although it is because of the night, the sun is not shining, but you can see a bright moon hanging high, it seems that the distance between the moon and the world are a few points closer, the silver-white moonlight is very beautiful. It's like two worlds from the downtown, which doesn't see the light of day and is full of toxic waste water.

The guests arrived one after another and walked towards the main building of the estate.

Qi Xuansu blended in the flow of people, inconspicuous.

Qi Xuansu's Buddha-figure and the incarnation share a consciousness, just like a person looking at two different images, which can be shared in real time.

"Josiah, do you know Leopold Strauss?" Qi Xuansu asked.

Strawney smiled slightly, "Of course I know, this is a senior councilor, a strong contender for the speaker, and at the same time the leader of the local blood clan, or the patriarch."

Qi Xuansu asked again, "Is he also here for today's dinner?"

"Of course." Strawney said, "How can such a thing be without him?"

Qi Xuansu nodded slightly: "Very good."

Strawney was wary, "What do you want to do?"

Qi Xuansu shook his head and said, "Don't do anything, I'm just curious." I've heard that he has a descendant who is active in the lower city."

"You mean the Baron." Strawney immediately said, "There have been rumors lately about the baron that he has discovered an ancient mausoleum."

Qi Xuansu said, "I'm curious, what will Shangcheng do with this matter?"

"This dinner is not just about fundraising and drinking, it's also a place to socialize, where the big names collude, compromise, trade, and conspire." Strawney said, "Probably tonight."
