Of course, Qi Xuansu knew that the best way was to disguise the baron perfectly, not to alarm anyone, and when the baron came back, he would take the baron's harvest and leave directly.

If all of them are detained, it will inevitably alarm the forces behind them and cause unnecessary variables.

But Qi Xuansu couldn't help it, whether it was the magistrate Rose, the four blood clans, or the priest, everyone was menacing, and they all had a clear goal. If he only acted within the scope of the disguised baron, there was no way to reasonably persuade them to retreat, Qi Xuansu had no choice but to use violent means to imprison them all, so that this place would temporarily become a black hole in information, and the people outside did not know what was going on here, and they had many doubts and suspicions, so they did not dare to act rashly, and they would only do it if they had to make some preparations, and they could at least delay it for a day or so.

The best result, of course, was that the baron would be able to come back within this day's time, and Qi Xuansu would take his things and leave before these people could do anything. The bad result is that the baron has not returned, and the snakes of St. York have come to the door.

For both of these results, Qi Xuansu expected them and was ready to escape.

The special geographical location of the lower town determines that this is actually a porcelain shop, and the people of St. York do not dare to fight here, if it gets out of control, it will destroy countless workshops and factories, and at worst it will collapse the entire lower town.

Don't forget, the upper part of the lower town is the narrow city of St. York, and the destruction of all the factories in the lower town is still secondary, and the huge collapse will cause the above-ground part of St. York to sink into the ground again, and the damage can be great.

This is also the reason why the East rarely builds dungeons, and the Oriental people still value the word "foundation", the foundation is unstable, and it is impossible to build a high-rise building.

Of course, Westerners will not fail to take this issue into account, and will certainly strengthen and fortify dungeons with various means that are not limited to steam machinery, such as divine arts, arcane arts, alchemy, magic, etc.

But the problem is that the inside is always more fragile than the outside, and when necessary, Qi Xuansu can use the Buddha's relics to deliver a blow that is infinitely close to the immortals.

Of course, Westerners have the means to withstand the blows of immortals or gods, but they can't cover the entire dungeon - this is not the Holy See or the Jade King.

Then the result is obvious, as long as Qi Xuansu makes good use of this psychology of Westerners, he can escape smoothly.

As for the patriarch and cardinals, they basically won't make the first move, unless they know Qi Xuansu's true identity. However, except for Qingwei Zhenren, no one knows that "Daqi" is Qi Xuansu, the chief deputy hall master of Beichen Hall, and even if Strawney defects, he will only think that he is an assistant and the like, so this is basically reassuring.

As for Qingwei Zhenren, if a Daomen prince wants to use outsiders to eradicate Qi Xuansu, then he will look up to Qi Xuansu too much. Once the news leaks, the position of the big sect is hopeless, and the life is not guaranteed, which is equivalent to gambling on the future of his life, how big a hatred must be to be so reckless about the cost and consequences? But there is only a conflict of interests between the two, and there are even some common interests, not to mention the life-and-death enmity between you and me. Qingwei Zhenren really wants to take Qi Xuansu, as long as he sits on the throne of the Great Palm Sect, there are ways to suppress Qi Xuansu.

Maybe someone wants to say, don't you just leak the rumors? That's too much to underestimate the Heavenly Master. The matter of Lingshan Cave Heaven was hidden deep enough, it was many years ago, and finally let the Heavenly Master dig it out, this kind of thing cannot be more secret than Lingshan Cave Heaven, which has few living people. It may not be foreseen in advance, but it will definitely be found out after the fact.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu expected that the patriarch and cardinal would not be the first to make a move.

This is also a common problem of big people, Chen Shuzhen was sick to death at the beginning, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was something strange in this, and Lan Dazhen never checked it in person. The truth in this is very in line with human nature, I have to do everything myself, isn't this big man in vain? Things that don't seem to be important, let the subordinates do it, and the big guys just need to know the result.

Under the combination of various factors, Qi Xuansu can sit firmly in Diaoyutai here.

At this time, in the baron's mansion, Qi Xuansu was still standing by the window.

Wu Niang sat on the chair behind the desk, and even changed into a dress, a shirt with a waist, breeches and boots, and exaggerated her feet on the desk table

。

Qi Xuansu turned around and glanced at Wu Niang, "I thought you would always be dressed as a Taoist priest."

"That's in Yujing." Wu Niang said, "Don't forget, I've been in the Western Continent and the New World for a long time, and this is called following the local customs, aren't you the same now?"

Qi Xuansu is indeed dressed as a Westerner now, and it is still a relatively retro classical style.

Wu Niang asked again, "What's wrong with your deity?"

Qi Xuansu shook his head and said, "Strawney was called away by Leopold and hasn't come back yet. Some people left the floating islands just now, and I think they're probably going to do it. Looks like we can't wait for the Baron to come back."

Wu Niang came to the spirit: "Good come, come one to burn one, come two to burn a pair."

Qi Xuansu didn't speak.

He is not a martial idiot, he is very discouraged, in fact, he is not very aggressive, and the priority of force is not very high. This is related to Qi Xuansu's past experience, before he obtained the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", Qi Xuansu's qualifications were there, and most of the time he was very weak, so he naturally did not focus too much on force.

Wu Niang is different, the master she has followed for the longest time is Taiyun, the master of the West Daomen is not only talented, but also aggressive, Dou Xuansheng, Dou Gaozu Emperor, Dou Xu Zu, Dou Yao Zu, Dou Shamanism Witch King, Dou Buddha Gate, Dou Confucian Gate, Dou Shengting, from Liaodong to the northwest, and finally went to the Western Continent and the New World, a pair of iron fists never stopped. Wu Niang is probably contaminated with Taiyun's temper, and she is also very aggressive, so it is best not to move her mouth if she can do it.

However, Qi Xuansu still overestimated the speed of these Westerners, and he thought that he would complete the encirclement of the Baron's mansion in about an hour, that is, two hours of Western time, from the time Strawney was invited to the lounge by Leopold.

But in fact, the time taken by the city council was actually more than double Qi Xuansu's estimate, that is, four hours.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense, after going to the lounge, these big people didn't immediately start discussing countermeasures, first playing with women for an hour, and then slowly discussing, and when the discussion is done, then go to the layers to communicate, layer by layer communication, and the time just passed.

In fact, whether it is the Daomen or the Holy Court, after so many years of development, although they are already seemingly unshakable behemoths, they are two sides of the same coin, and there are also problems of bloated institutions and floating people.

Not to mention the Holy Court, take the Daomen that Qi Xuansu is more familiar with, for example, a real person in charge of the mansion is matched with nine deputy mansion masters, and sometimes there are a few more assistants, and the following is also a similar example, one chief chief is matched with multiple ordinary chief Taoists.

These nine vice-lords are essentially a bit similar to the scholars in charge, the so-called scholars in charge of the six ministries as cabinet scholars, in fact, they have usurped the authority of the six scholars, and the scholars in charge have done the things of the scholars, and the scholars have no choice but to encroach on the power of the squire, and the squires can only go down to seize power, layer by layer, all in their positions but unable to seek their own politics, which will inevitably lead to bloated institutions and floating people.

At the bottom, there will be a strange situation.

In many institutions, one deacon, then several deputy deacons, and finally the ordinary Taoist priest was just one person, and it became seven or eight deacons standing above to command, and an ordinary Taoist priest working below.

How does this work? How can efficiency be?

They all sit on it and command, and this is how people float around.

There are too many things to do, and they still have to be done, what should I do? Recruit non-staff personnel and grant fellow priests.

Everything is left to people from fellow Taoist backgrounds, and that ordinary Taoist priest becomes the boss of these fellow Taoist people.

The establishment of less than ten people suddenly increased by dozens or even hundreds of people.

The actual officials are all people from the same Taoist background, which is the bloated organization.

If something happens, take a serious look and find that the perpetrators are all people from the same Taoist background, and many people think that the Taoist sect deliberately covered it up. In fact, I don't know the mystery of this, do more wrong, do less wrong, don't do good, the official Taoist priest doesn't do things at all, how can something happen?

Since the fifth generation of the Great Sect, it has begun to demand the streamlining of personnel, but it only involves half of the Taoist priests, in the real sense

The shaking foundation is as strong as the five generations of the Great Palm Sect, and it can't be touched.

Correspondingly, the Holy See is no better, human nature is like this, and the disadvantages are all the same.

It can only be said that they are equal opponents, and everything is so familiar in a familiar situation.

Don't look at the various plans of the parliamentarians, it seems that the wisdom bead is in hand, and it is foolproof, and when it is really implemented, it will be thankful that half of the plan can be completed.

Can the sheriffs who were sent to downtown in the middle of the night have no grievances? Maybe in the bottom of my heart, I want to scold the mother of these councilors, and I will do my best?

It only dragged on for four hours, and it didn't take until dawn.

You councilors don't have a backache when you stand and talk, play with women, count the votes, and think of a play is a play, and you toss people in the middle of the night, so you toss slowly.

What you get or not, you get it, and the low-level magistrates who are bitter and haha don't get more than half a gold kroner, you can't get it, and the low-level magistrates can't starve to death.

Prosperity and charm are the most corrosive to people's hearts, wear down faith, and destroy the foundation.

St. York is the most prosperous part of the New World.

Materialism runs rampant, and prosperity is close to decay.

Three thousand banknotes a month, which may depreciate at any time, is not a gold krona that retains its value, what kind of life is playing?

When the time comes, it will be worthy of the grace of the goddess.

For such a long time, it can be regarded as a delay in the fighter, but it also brought Qi Xuansu a surprise - the baron almost came back in time.
