Chapter 121: The Morgan Brotherhood
Sun Zhongnu was originally a small person, if it was an ordinary time, even if he betrayed, he would not be able to make such a big move. He happened to be at a critical juncture, Qi Xuansu came to the Northern Continent, Audrey disappeared, and the situation between the Steam Gospel and the West Daomen was tense, and by chance, the interests of all parties were involved, and he actually stirred up the general trend of the Northern Continent, so that everyone knew the name Sun Zhongnu.
But for Sun Zhongnu, this is not necessarily a good thing.
Li Mingzhen wanted to kill him, Huangfu Ji also wanted to kill him, and Qi Xuansu also wanted to kill him.
The more damage he causes, the worse the impact, the more he will die.
Even if it is as strong as Chen Shuhua, he still dies in the end.
Of course, it can be said that Chen Shuhua is not strong enough, but the manpower is sometimes poor, and the immortals are already the limit under normal circumstances.
Qi Xuansu was actually divided into three ways, one way Wu Niang went to the sea and attracted Sophia's attention, and the other way was to take Audrey by land, and his deity stayed in St. York.
Whether it was the Ministry of Evangelism or the West Gate, everyone thought that Qi Xuansu was fleeing from St. York, and they didn't expect that Qi Xuansu himself was still in St. York.
This is the advantage of scattered people.
Since there is the inheritance of the six immortals, there are a lot of scattered people, after all, there are many people with insufficient qualifications, but it is precisely because of the lack of qualifications that there are very few scattered people above the creation, so you can directly find people with only the autopsy immortal.
The same is true for the Creation Scattered People, which are even rarer than the Immortals. Because there are too few, many people don't know much about the method of dismemberment. Although the immortals also have the method of beheading the three corpses, they do not rely on external objects, do not seek from the outside, but seek from the inside, rely on the three corpse gods, unless they cultivate to the realm of transcendence and behead the three corpses into independent individuals, otherwise the incarnation cannot exist in the world for a long time.
If it is the incarnation of three corpses, it can't last for such a long time, and it dissipates halfway, leaving only one Audrey, then it's fun to see.
On the other hand, although the high-level of the Daomen all know the details of Qi Xuansu, and Wu Niang also knows, but others don't know, at most they have heard of the saying of "Acquired Immortals", but they don't know what the so-called "Acquired Immortals" is, after all, there are only two Acquired Immortals, how can outsiders know such secrets.
Not even outsiders, the vast majority of people in the Daomen don't know the truth here, including real people like Wang Jiaohe and Sun Heyu.
Since most people don't know what the inheritance of the "acquired immortals" is, they take it for granted that they are immortals, at most there are some special features. Then it was spread to the West Daomen and the Holy Court, and it was one layer away, and even the saying of "the acquired immortals" was gone, and only the saying of the immortals remained.
It is said that seventy is rare, and sixty years old is considered an advanced age, so at the age of fourteen you can become a biological child, and at the age of forty you can call yourself an old husband.
But if it is a hundred years old, twenty and thirty years old are really teenagers, forty years old is youth, and fifty and sixty years old are only middle-aged and prime. Nowadays, those who call themselves old people inside the Daomen have to be eighty years old or higher, to say the least. People in their sixties and seventies are still in the prime of life, such as the disciples of the seventh generation, who are completely middle-aged and have no twilight. ….
Therefore, Qi Xuansu became famous at a young age, and he had such a realm of cultivation at a young age, which made others think that Qi Xuansu was an immortal, which was reasonable and reasonable, and there was no doubt about him.
Since he regarded Qi Xuansu as an immortal, he took it for granted that it was Qi Xuansu himself who fled with Audrey now, but he didn't realize that Qi Xuansu himself was still in St. York.
Now that the Ministry of Evangelization has focused on the dismantling of soldiers, coupled with the fact that the Beichen Hall in the Northern Region has been almost cleaned up, and the survivors have been fully evacuated, the Ministry of Evangelism will inevitably relax its vigilance, and St. York will become dark under the lights.
Since Sun Zhongnu's rebellion, Qi Xuansu has also considered the matter of eradicating this traitor, in terms of his realm cultivation, this is not a difficult matter, the key is to consider two issues, one is to repeat the old tune, protect Strawney's identity from being exposed, and the other is to find Sun Zhongnu's hiding place, or know Sun Zhongnu's course of action.
Strawney has no intersection with the Ministry of Evangelism, and there is no way to know the whereabouts of the Ministry of Evangelism, Qi Xuansu is a superb cultivator, and it is not difficult to find someone, but he has never even seen Sun Zhongnu, but there is no way to find it.
Nevertheless, Strawney did introduce him to a path - the Morgan Brotherhood in St. York.
The City Council of St. York was divided into two camps, the Tories and the Whigs, with the Whigs now the majority and Speaker Sophia as the head of the Whigs. The Tories are a minority party, and Leopold is the leader of the Tories Party, so Leopold is a strong candidate for speaker, but he is just a few votes short.
The minority party and the majority party are still evenly matched by a few votes, and the difference is by no means heaven and earth, and all bills that require a two-thirds majority vote to pass still depend on the face of the minority party, which in essence takes turns to sit in the bank.
Sophia is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Renekton Detective Agency and can mobilize plainclothes detectives. Her counterpart Leopold naturally has a similar force, which is the Morgan Brotherhood.
It's a group somewhere between thieves and assassins, walking the gray area and doing shady things. The Morgan Brotherhood is the head snake of St. York, let them assassinate the people of the Evangelical Ministry, they will definitely not dare, but they are still not afraid of selling news behind their backs and revealing their whereabouts, provided that the money is enough.
In Qi Xuansu's mind, instead of searching all over the world, not to mention the time and effort, it may not be possible to find it, it is better to find the Morgan Brotherhood directly, just spend a little money. Although Qi Xuansu himself has no money, this kind of thing must be done with public funds, and Qi Xuansu himself can approve it and have this power.
After all, Qingwei Zhenren is not only the real person in charge of Beichen Hall, but also the second seat of Jinque, a person who can command thousands of troops and horses, let him approve this little money, because this little thing consumes energy, and it is also a bit of a fuss.
After Qi Xuansu made up his mind, of course, he couldn't use his current identity to go to the Morgan Brotherhood, so he decided to leave St. York as "Daqi" on the bright side and return to the Old World.
Of course, there are some suspicious things in this, such as Daqi who traveled thousands of miles from the Old World to the New World, only to stay for a long time and then rush back, which is a bit unreasonable. However, as long as you don't think about it this way, there is no problem, and now it is not as easy as in the past, and it is very convenient to travel between the New World and the Old World if you take an airship. ….
Even if the Ministry of Evangelism really wanted to investigate to the end, the Old Continent was the territory of the Holy Court's Inquisition, and with the relationship between the two families, it was impossible for the Ministry of Evangelism to know any news from the Inquisition, let alone get the cooperation of the Inquisition. After all, if it weren't for the conflict between the Holy See and the Steam Gospel because of the uneven distribution of spoils, it would not have been possible for Xidaomen to take advantage of it and establish Tawanting.
After Qi Xuansu got on the ship, it was impossible to really go to the Western Continent, so naturally the golden cicada came out of its shell and returned to St. York. And there is a kaleidoscopic realm of martial arts inheritance, and it can be transformed into a pseudonym, and it is named John Marston.
As for the golden krone, there is no need to worry about this, Qi Xuansu had brought enough golden krona and Yingyang before coming here in case of emergency. For the dignified Beichen Hall, it is also not difficult to prepare some gold krona that is legal and unintelligible, after all, the trade between the East and the West is close, and the Daomen itself also has a large amount of gold krona.
According to Strawney's information, Qi Xuansu traveled to the junction of the Morgan Brotherhood - although the members of the Morgan Brotherhood were spread throughout St. York and the surrounding area, it was difficult to find them, and they were not very fond of ordinary business.
However, those who can be found through various channels are generally big business, after all, small business is much easier than finding the Morgan Brotherhood, and the small business is simply solved when there is time to find the Brotherhood.
Because the Morgan Brotherhood only does high-end business, or most of the business is high-end business, most of their strongholds are in the above-ground city, not in the gloomy lower town - this is obviously to take care of the guests, and the powerful people who gave the commission certainly do not want to run to the lower town, and some secret tasks cannot be done by others, but must be done by themselves.
Qi Xuansu crossed the central street of Queens, turned into an alley, and after seven or eight turns, there was a grocery store, which seemed to be ordinary, but in fact it was one of the junction points of the Morgan Brotherhood.
Through the glass, you can see that the business in the store is very deserted, only the owner is behind the counter, holding his cheeks with his hands, dozing off.
This scene reminded Qi Xuansu of the scene when he went to the "inn", and he also had a grudge with Qingluanwei for this. In the blink of an eye, time has passed, and Qi Xuansu has also become Qingluanwei's peer, and he is among the high-level, and the idle Qingluanwei is no longer in his eyes, and he can be on an equal footing with Qingluanwei's commander.
Qi Xuansu pushed the door and entered it, and the wind chimes connected to the door rang, waking up the boss who was dozing off.
The emblem of the Gospel of Steam is somewhat peculiar, consisting of three gears pieced together to form an inverted triangle instead of the traditional inverted triangle.
Qi Xuansu came to the counter and took out three gold crowns, one gold crown represented a gear, and it was also a pattern of inverted triangles, very similar to the holy emblem of the Steam Gospel.
The grocery store owner glanced at Qi Xuansu in surprise, stretched out his hand and wiped it on the table, and the three gold crowns disappeared: "Please come with me." ”
Through a secret door and a secret passage downward, Qi Xuansu came to an underground hall.
In other words, at this time, Qi Xuansu was located in the area between the middle and lower cities.
It is beautifully manicured and almost indistinguishable from a mansion except for the absence of windows.
After Qi Xuansu waited in the reception room for a while, a slender figure walked out, wearing a white shirt, breeches, long boots, a fire gun hanging from his waist, and the tail ring of a dagger was put into his index finger, and he was turning the dagger rapidly, and the cold light was shining.
These thieves have also kept up with the times, and what used to be a hand crossbow has now been replaced by a hand handcuff.
