Secretary Qian is Qian Wan, although Cihang Zhenren likes to take his little apprentice Xiao Yueru with him, and often asks Xiao Yueru to do some secretary errands, but Qian Wan is Cihang Zhenren's official secretary.

It can't be said that Cihang Zhenren has any dissatisfaction with Qian Wan, which has nothing to do with Qian Wan.

Among the three Counselors, Cihang Zhenren has the most disciples, more than the disciples of Qingwei Zhenren and Donghua Zhenren combined, and among the many disciples of Cihang Zhenren, Cihang Zhenren's favorite is not Bai Yingqiong, the eldest apprentice who has followed him for the longest time, nor Zhang Yuelu, who is the most promising, but the youngest closed disciple Xiao Yueru, she is the last of the eight generations of disciples, and then there are nine generations of disciples, and there is a difference of twenty-three years from Bai Yingqiong.

The truth is not complicated, it is the normal feeling of simple people, favoring young children. The youngest son and eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the old lady. Bai Yingqiong and Zhang Yuelu are both people who have started a family, and they will not eat this flying vinegar, and they look at this little junior sister more with the attitude of the younger generation.

Speaking of which, Cihang Zhenren looks young, but in fact, he is also in the age of the sixtieth year, so it is not surprising to have this mentality. She asked Xiao Yueru to be a secretary, more to exercise, rather than being dissatisfied with Qian Wan, so Qian Assistant, the secretary of Qian, is also not to be underestimated.

After Qian Wan heard Qi Xuansu's voice, she didn't slack off in the slightest, "Chief Qi, Cihang Zhenren just has time now, you wait, I'll go and report to the real person."

Soon, the voice of Cihang Zhenren came from the other side, "Tianyuan, is there something wrong?"

"Can't I greet a real person if I'm fine?" Qi Xuansu and Tantaiqiong don't deal with each other, but in the face of this mother-in-law, it is a different face, Qi Xuansu does not deny that there are factors affecting identity and status, but it can't be said that Qi Xuansu is snobbish, the key is that Tantaiqiong is sometimes too outrageous.

Cihang Zhenren smiled, "You, the chief of Qi, have always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and if you want to greet you, you can't use 'Yun Zhongxin, don't be here to talk about things.'"

Qi Xuansu then turned to the topic, "That's the case, I don't know if the real person knows Zhou Mengyao?"

There was a brief silence on the Cihang real person over there.

Qi Xuansu waited patiently.

In fact, Cihang Zhenren's silence is to answer without answering, if Cihang Zhenren doesn't know Zhou Mengyao, then she doesn't have to be silent, just give a negative answer. It was precisely because Cihang Zhenren knew Zhou Mengyao that she had to be silent, she was probably thinking about Qi Xuansu's intention to suddenly ask Zhou Mengyao.

"Where did you know about this man?" Cihang Zhenren's voice sounded again, "Although in a sense, they are all people in the same circle, she is also a peer of our generation, but with Seven

Niang is different, she is very alienated from us because of some problems, but Qi Niang is very familiar with her."

This corresponds to many of Qi Xuansu's speculations.

The "us" in Cihang's true mouth should refer to the upper-class families of the Daomen, not only the three major families, but also the Pei family, the Qi family, the Su family, the Shen family, the Lu family and many other inferior families, and their common point is that their ancestors are all elders who followed Xuansheng to rebuild the Daomen.

Qi Xuansu was able to blend into this circle, mainly by virtue of the triple identity of a righteous son, son-in-law, and disciple, and only by himself, at most he was the second Wang Jiaohe.

There is no doubt that whether it is counted from Shen Changsheng's side or from Zhou Shuning's side, Zhou Qingchen is considered a person in this circle, which is one of the reasons why he still retains his status as a Taoist priest in the end. Now, Zhou Mengyao, as Zhou Qingchen's descendant, is of course recognized as a member of this circle, but because of historical issues, he is too alienated from others.

In other cases, Cihang Zhenren would never say it so explicitly, and it is this circle and us again, which is not too detrimental to unity. This also shows that Cihang Zhenren does not regard Qi Xuansu as an outsider, but as a real person.

At this time, Cihang Zhenren's meaning was that he felt that Qi Xuansu knew about Zhou Mengyao from Qi Niang.

Qi Xuansu didn't hide it, "I just met with Wan Miao Zhenren from the Shuzhou Provincial Mansion, and he told me some things about Qi Haoran, including Zhou Mengyao."

Cihang is truly humane: "Qi family

The thing? I was a little impressed, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time."

"That's it, Qi Haoran is his name after he left the Qi family." Qi Xuansu said.

Cihang Zhenren said, "I probably know what you want to ask, do you think Qi Haoran's matter is related to Zhou Mengyao?"

"Yes." Qi Xuansu's answer was very succinct.

Cihang Zhenren didn't answer directly, "Regarding this matter, it involves the Quanzhen Dao, why don't you ask Qi Niang or Donghua Zhenren?"

Qi Xuansu said, "Qi Niang, there is a hardship. As for my master's side, I talked to him once a long time ago, and in his words, the Quanzhen Dao is also a separate pot to eat, and he doesn't know much about the Qingping Society, and that is the Yao family's own place."

Cihang Zhenren was not surprised: "He, the second master of the Quanzhen Dao, can't talk about understanding, can I, an outsider, understand?" Your own family knows your own business, you

I have to ask the Yao family or the Zhou family."

Qi Xuansu took the opportunity to say, "If you want to say that the real person doesn't understand everything, that's not true, isn't the real person who has been the head of the Transformation Hall for a while?"

Cihang Zhenren was obviously stunned, "There is such a thing, you were still in Tiangang Hall at that time, it turns out that you are waiting for me here, let's say, you want to know something about Huasheng Hall."

Qi Xuansu was no longer polite, and said his appeal, "I want to know, is the 'Heart of the Immortal Stone' still there?"

Cihang Zhenren was silent for a moment again.

At this moment, she must have thought a lot, why did Qi Xuansu ask so? What does the "Heart of Immortal Stone" have to do with Zhou Mengyao? And all that.

Then Cihang Zhenren replied in the affirmative, "After I became the head of the Huasheng Hall, I have inspected the whole of the Huasheng Hall, including many workshops that have been passed down from the creation project, and I can responsibly say that during my tenure as the head of the Huasheng Hall, 'The Heart of the Immortal Stone is still stored in the Huasheng Hall. As for what happens after I leave the Metamorphosis Hall, you have to ask the current head of the hall, Xu Dacheng."

Of course, Qi Xuansu didn't have to ask Xu Dacheng, because in terms of time, when Cihang Zhenren became the head of the Huasheng Hall, Qi Haoran's tomb was already an empty tomb, which was enough to eliminate suspicion in this regard.

However, it also revealed the mystery of Zhou Mengyao, even a big man like Cihang Zhenren only knew that there was such a person, and he didn't know much about the specific situation.

It seems that a breakthrough can only be sought through some ways of the Qingping Society.

Qi Xuansu ended the call with Cihang Zhenren and left Dabao'en Temple.

He still has a business to attend.

Not long ago, probably when Qi Xuansu was in the Vientiane Dao Palace, Jin Que passed a resolution with a high vote, that is, to cancel all kinds of preferential policies in Fenglinzhou and implement a closed country for it.

The war in Fenglinzhou has been over for several years, but it has been going back and forth, and the remnants of the Zun faction are like weeds, always blowing and growing in the spring breeze, which is also the aftermath of leaving a Fenglinzhou that has won the hearts of the people.

If you want to win the hearts of the people, you can't kill people. If you don't open the killing ring, there will be a lot of fish that slip through the net, and it will not be clean.

When Qi Xuansu hid his identity and went to St. York in the Northern Continent, as a cover, Beichen Hall announced that Qi Xuansu had gone to Fenglin Continent to deal with affairs. When Qi Xuansu had just taken over as the chief deputy hall master, he didn't see the second deputy hall master Shen Mingxin, and he also went to Fenglin Continent to deal with affairs at that time.

This matter is the follow-up of the Venerable Sect. It can be seen that the matter of Fenglinzhou did not happen overnight, and there was foreshadowing.

The reason why the news of Qi Xuansu's trip to Fenglinzhou is not suspected is because there has indeed been a problem in Fenglinzhou, and it is reasonable for the senior management of Beichen Hall to go over in person.

It's just that the affairs of the New World are more urgent, and the attention of the Daomen is focused on the New World, so the affairs of Fenglin Continent have not made much noise. Now that the affairs of the New World have come to an end for the time being, the affairs of Fenglinzhou have been put on the agenda.

Jin Que decided not to use force to eliminate the remnants of the Zun Zheng faction, but to use economic means. The principle is like the folk method of removing the sustenance, using a thin thread to wrap and tighten the root of the scarlet so that it cannot supply blood, and then the steam will slow down

Slowly withered and eventually fell off.

The specific strategy is to completely blockade Fenglinzhou, in addition to the privileges of the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office, many daimyos, including the former imperial family, are not allowed to go to sea, cut off all kinds of trade and trade, and at the same time severely crack down on all kinds of smuggling. The fundamental purpose was to impoverish the daimyo and make them unable to continue to support the Zun Sho faction.

If you don't have money, what else are you talking about?

The privilege left to the Toyotomi Prime Minister is the classic strategy of encircling three que, so that it will not lose hope and stubbornly resist to the end, and there is still a road to surrender.

The battle in Fenglinzhou has proved that armed confrontation will not work, and if the Daomen wants to blockade Fenglinzhou, the Zun Gang will not be able to break it, and it will not be able to fight, and there is no money. The end result was a disintegration and infighting, with some people taking refuge in the privileged Toyotomi Prime Minister's house, while a few continued to resist to the end and eventually had to die.

It is worth mentioning here that the position of the Zun Zheng faction does not represent ordinary people, they actually represent the interests of some nobles and samurai class, they not only lack the foundation of the people at the bottom, but have many contradictions with the people at the bottom, and there are often cases of villagers sneaking up on lone samurai.

Once they are cut off from financial resources, it is very difficult for them to survive. This is where the confidence of Daomen dares to implement the blockade, and it is also the reason why Qingwei Zhenren has repeatedly emphasized that he wants to keep a Fenglinzhou that wins the hearts of the people.

We must distinguish between our enemies and our enemies, and we must not force those we can unite to the opposite side by killing them indiscriminately. Otherwise, it will be victory after victory, and eventually lead to total defeat. In the final analysis, the military is for political affairs.

When it comes to specific implementation, there are mainly three provincial governments, namely Liaodong Provincial Government, Jiangnan Provincial Government, and Qizhou Provincial Government, of which Jiangnan Provincial Government and Qizhou Provincial Government are the top priority, they are the majority of Fenglinzhou trade, and they must conscientiously implement the policy and guidelines of Jinque here, and cannot waver in the slightest.
