Chapter 172: Coming Home
There are some things that don't have to be rushed, Qi Xuansu's first task is to return to Beijing to report on his work, and he can't leave the emperor behind, and get busy with this matter first, which is too unusual.
Qi Xuansu's road is still very long, he is still very young, there is no need to go too haste. As the saying goes, if you want to be a character of fine gold and jade, you must be tempered from the fire. Sili's work of shaking the heavens and the earth must be performed on thin ice.
Qi Xuansu first "deposited" Li Ping on Ye Qingshuang's side, and when he freed his hand, he first found an opportunity to talk about Li Zhuyu's tone, and then made arrangements. Ye Qingshuang is a real person in charge of the mansion, taking good care of Li Ping, and at the same time ensuring that there is no leakage, which is not a difficult task.
At this time, Qi Xuansu had to sigh that there were still too few people who could use it. Strictly speaking, there are too few trusted confidants.
In the final analysis, he is not from a big family, he does not have the help of his family, and his development time is too short, and he has subordinates, but he has no time to cultivate henchmen. These two are completely different concepts.
Counting around, Lin Yuanmiao is one, but he mainly follows Zhang Yuelu, and his main task is generally to take care of Xiao Yin.
So many times, Qi Xuansu had to hand over things to Zhang Yuelu, that is, Zhang Yuelu was open-minded and never cared about these. If you change to a girl with a sick brain, you have to compete with Qi Xuansu for a priority, so she likes to do it with Qi Xuansu, and Qi Xuansu has to call "bitter".
Qi Xuansu didn't have the leisure to serve an awkward and hypocritical woman, he hated the word "misconduct" the most. Don't look at Qi Niang, I like to pinch Qi Xuansu if I have nothing to do, but in serious matters, whether it is Jinling Mansion or Shenglong Mansion, Qi Niang has always been vigorous and resolute, without the slightest bit of mud and water. Not to mention Zhang Yuelu, a real staunch ally. xь.
In addition to Lin Yuanmiao, Chen Jianqiu can also be, but he is still a little immature, and it is not enough to release one party now.
In fact, Qi Xuansu still has some henchmen, such as Phantom Ji and Chen Jianqiu, but they are not in the Daomen system and belong to outsiders, so it is difficult to come forward in many things. In the scope of the Daomen, Qi Xuansu's allies are not few, and there are too few reliable henchmen, so many things can only be done by himself.
Qi Xuansu and Huangfu did not stay in Luo Suo Zhou for too long, this matter was a small episode, and then the mission left Luo Sazhou and went to Borneo.
This is Qi Xuansu's home field.
The lineup on Borneo's side is much stronger than that of Luo Suozhou, not to mention anything else, a Pingzhang real person, a real person who knows the real person, and most of the deputy lords under it are high-level real people.
The greeting location was selected in the Sheji Palace of Shenglong Mansion, below the Lan Da Zhenren, Yao Shu, Zhang Yuelu, Xu Jiaorong, Pei Xiaolou, Ji Jiaozhen, Lin Yuanmiao, these are the six second-grade Taiyi Taoists.
The "Sun Boat" slowly landed on Guijian Lake, and Lan Dazhen also made an exception to come to the lakeside to greet him in person, giving enough face.
After Huang Fuji walked down the gangway, he walked a few steps briskly and came to the front of Lan Da Zhenren, calling him "Lan Lao".
"How dare you bother Lan Lao to greet him in person and torment the juniors." Huang Fu Ji said.
"You're a guest, and you deserve it." Lan Da Zhenren smiled, "How are the real people of the Tai Tai, the Gongda Zhenren, and the Huangfu Dazhen lately?"
Not long ago, Jin Que had just promoted Huangfu Zhao to the rank of a great real person - a great real person without a flat chapter.
"With Laulan's old concern, the three great real people are all right." Huang Fu Ji replied.
Lan Hexu sighed with emotion: "The last time I saw your father, it was twenty-three years of long-term vision, and it has been twenty years in a blink of an eye, and at our age, we have seen one side less."
Huangfu said extremely much: "When Lan Dazhen is free, you can go to the Southern Continent for a walk, so that the younger generation can enjoy the friendship of the landlord."
Lan Hexu should take a bite.
It's just a scene.
Huangfu Ji greeted Yao Shu, Zhang Yuelu, Xu Jiaorong and others in turn.
Qi Xuansu accompanied Huang Fuji, and only made eye contact with Zhang Yuelu, but did not say much.
At the same time, Qi Xuansu found that Xiao Yin, the girl, was also here, following Lin Yuanmiao's side, waving her little short arms and waving at him.
Qi Xuansu showed a heartfelt smile and beckoned as well.
Huangfu Ji also noticed this, and as Qi Xuansu's gaze looked, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
With the support of the Zhang family's strong resources, Lin Yuanmiao has already restored his pseudo-immortal cultivation, and even retains the possibility of restoring Lin Lingsu's realm cultivation.
It is precisely because of Lin Yuanmiao's escort that Zhang Yuelu can be safe and sound in Nanyang. It's not that no one has thought of some crooked and evil methods, it's just that Zhang Yuelu is not a mediocre hand, and with Lin Yuanmiao's escort, all of them have become useless.
Huangfu Ji is just a pseudo-immortal, and he was still a little shocked to see such a master of the same realm, but he was just an ordinary second-grade Taiyi Taoist, not even the second deputy mansion master.
Is this the essence of the Daomen? Affluent to this extent?
That's it, Xiao Yin also surprised Huangfu greatly.
Huangfu couldn't see through the details of this little girl, it seemed that she was not human, but what was the origin, and he couldn't see it for a while.
Is this Qi Xuansu's "lair", it is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
Huangfu Ji has also heard of Nanyang, it is said that this place is very heavy, in addition to the Daomen, Buddhism, the secret association is also very existential, at most there were five immortals coexisting, respectively, the remains of the Buddha, Jin Gong Patriarch, Jiang Dazhenren, Lan Dazhenren, Chen Shuhua, this is not counting the Wu Luo and Si Ming Zhenjun who were shattered by the incarnation of the gods, there are more pseudo-immortals, such as Wang Jiaohe, Sun Heyu, Wu Guangbi and so on.
At first, Huangfu was extremely skeptical, after all, the high-end combat power of the Southern Continent was only slightly stronger, and Borneo was a bit exaggerated. When you see it today, you know it's true. Ь.
After all, the pseudo-immortal is an assistant, and I can't help but believe it.
Huangfu Ji also has a new understanding of Qi Xuansu's family background, and being able to gain a firm foothold in such a place, Qi Xuansu should not be underestimated.
The two sides have brought each other in aid, which is beneficial and harmless for both sides.
Next is the old process, the reception banquet and visit.
For the specific visit, Qi Xuansu did not accompany him this time, and Yao Shu, the real person in charge of the mansion, went to sing a one-man show, but he stole a spare time and went to see Zhang Yuelu and Xiao Yin.
Although Zhang Yuelu is usually stationed in Lion City, except for the affairs of the lord of the mansion, he rarely returns to Thang Long Mansion, but he still has a place to live here, which is the Fire Palace of Sheji Palace.
As soon as Qi Xuansu entered the door, Xiao Yin rushed over and hugged Qi Xuansu's legs, making Qi Xuansu a little unaccustomed.
This little girl has always been heartless and lungless, and she changed sex after only a few days of not seeing her.
"Old Qi, I miss you so much!" Xiao Yin pretended to wipe her tears while peeking at Zhang Yuelu behind her.
Qi Xuansu immediately understood that when he was there, he could still balance Zhang Yuelu, the two of them were relaxed one by one, and the leniency and strictness were combined, just like the balance of yin and yang, but as soon as he left, only Zhang Yuelu was left, which was out of balance.
Qi Xuansu is not used to being too close to people, and there is a difference between men and women, so he picked up Xiao Yin's back collar: "Stand up and talk."
Xiao Yin pursed his lips: "Old Qi, don't you want me?"
Qi Xuansu said, "Yes, I brought you a gift."
With that, Qi Xuansu handed the box of clockwork doll soldiers in front of Xiao Yin.
Where had Xiao Yin seen such a thing, he was full of excitement and curiosity: "What is this?"
Qi Xuansu opened the lid of the box, took out a puppet soldier, tightened the clockwork, and saw the puppet soldier in a black high hat, red military uniform, blue trousers, and black boots moving, first carrying the long gun with the bayonet on his shoulder, kicking and stepping, and then lifting the long gun to carry out various shooting actions, and even the miniature long gun was extremely exquisite, capable of firing some granular projectiles.
Xiao Yin's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands again and again: "This is fun."
Qi Xuansu put all the boxes of doll soldiers in Xiao Yin's hands: "In addition to the infantry, there are also cavalry and artillery, all of them are yours, take them and play with them."
Xiao Yin cheered and went happily with a box of dolls.
Children are just good to pass away.
From beginning to end, Zhang Yuelu didn't speak, just looked at the two silently.
Qi Xuansu came to Zhang
In front of the moon deer: "Don't look at it, you have a share."
After that, Qi Xuansu took out the prepared red wine, and I have to say that the red wine bottle looks quite good, and the bottle is also inlaid with a golden embossed hollow pattern.
Zhang Yuelu took the red wine and smiled: "What is this?"
Qi Xuansu said, "This is the celebration wine I captured from the battlefield, but unfortunately the owner of this bottle of wine couldn't wait for the celebration banquet."
Zhang Yuelu nodded slightly: "I'll drink it later, and I'll give you the wind."
Qi Xuansu said, "Haven't you drunk enough of the previous reception banquet?"
"That's different, it's for the real person of Huangfu. I'm here to catch you up this time." Zhang Yuelu said.
Qi Xuansu smiled, "That's a good dare. But you can't just drink, what do you, the local host, have in store for me, the guest?"
Zhang Yuelu said, "I expected you to come back, so I specially cooked it myself." Xiu Shu
The smile on Qi Xuansu's face stiffened for a moment, and returned to normal in an instant: "Good, good, good."
The two walked into the side hall together, and Qi Xuansu found that the food was really set on the table, a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of shallots mixed with tofu, and a pot of white rice porridge, all of which could not be simpler.
Since Zhang Yuelu didn't play flower work again this time, she naturally did a good job and didn't make jokes. It can also be seen from this that Zhang Yuelu attaches great importance to stability and focuses on stability.
Seeing this, Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "Let's eat this and drink red wine, it's a bit nondescript, right? Others will say that we boars can't eat chaff."
Zhang Yuelu said: "Life is not for others to see, what do you care about what others say."
As she spoke, Zhang Yuelu took out a wine decanter and two luminous glasses, poured the wine into the wine jug, she was a connoisseur of drinking, and there was no shortage of all kinds of wine utensils, and ordered, "You put the porridge on it."
Qi Xuansu served two bowls of white porridge, and Zhang Yuelu poured two glasses of red wine.
The two sat opposite each other and toasted together.
Qi Xuansu proposed, "Have a glass of wine?"
Zhang Yuelu's face was shrouded in a layer of redness against the background of bright red wine, and she did not refuse.
The two of them crossed their arms and drank the red wine in their glasses.
"I didn't expect to lose on the first day of this month...
