Unexpectedly, the Buddha Association was so well-informed, so Chu Xiang said, "Please."
Not long after, a group of people came to the foot of the steps carrying wreaths. The leader was a gentle young man without any weapons. He raised his hands in salute and said, "I have met Mr. Chu."
Chu Xiang stood up and said, "Welcome to the martial arts hall."
"Your Majesty, Lin Yufan of the Buddhist Association, is here to pay a visit to Mr. Sir on the order of the President. I wish to congratulate Mr. Sir on his great victory, and to express my condolences to Mr. Changsun." Lin Yufan said solemnly. After speaking, he waved his hand, and the people behind him took a sip. The box, when opened, was filled with golden gold.
"Your thoughts will be remembered by Jiangwu Hall. Please bring back my greetings and wish Chairman Dong to make further progress." Chu Xiang said with cupped hands.
"Lin Yufan, on behalf of the president, would like to thank you sir. I am busy with worldly affairs and cannot stay for a long time, so I will take my leave first." Lin Yufan clasped his fists in salute.
"please."
Lin Yufan bowed slightly and led the people away. He came in a hurry and left in a hurry, without stopping too much.
Xie Yan was stunned and didn't understand what was going on. Although the Jiangwu Hall did not have any conflict with the Zunfo Association, the two gangs were both in Nancheng District, and there were always small disputes that they didn't like each other, although they didn't lead to a fight. , and it is impossible for them to take the initiative to make friends. This is both congratulations and condolences. What is going on.
Not only Xie Yan, Zuo Ran and Zhao Shixiang also couldn't figure it out. Zhao Shixiang was very thoughtful and felt that it should be related to what Chu Xiang did. Otherwise, would the Buddha have come specially to congratulate the triumph? But what did Chu Xiang do? But he didn't receive any news at all, and he couldn't help but feel a little cold when he thought about it.
What was even more surprising was yet to come. As soon as the Buddhist meeting left, the guard at the gate sang loudly: "Master Shi Xingyun of Shaolin Temple came to pay a visit to the hall master on behalf of Shaolin."
The crowd outside the gate was in a state of excitement. The attitude of the Buddhist Association was already strange, and it seemed to be a sign of being inferior. The Shaolin Temple, which had just merged with the north and the south, actually sent people to send congratulatory gifts at the height of its prosperity. The situation was extremely unusual.
Two bald monks walked slowly forward, and the crowd parted ways. The leader was a middle-aged monk with a peaceful face, wearing a bright red cassock, and looking quite solemn.
"The poor monk Shi Xingyun has met Mr. Chu." The leading monk put his hands together in salute.
Chu Xiang stood up and slightly cupped his hands: "Master is here, and the flowers are shining brightly."
"The young monk was ordered by the abbot to come here to visit Mr. Congratulations on your great achievements in the virtual realm and to make further progress. He also expresses condolences to Mr. Changsun and others. I have specially prepared a small gift, which is not respectful." Shi Xingyun said with his hands together.
When the crowd heard what Shi Xingyun said, everyone outside the gate suddenly burst into an uproar. The people in the martial arts hall were silent for a moment, and then the cheers exploded, and the cheers went up to the sky.
The master of the virtual realm has achieved great success. Everyone in the martial arts hall does not know whether it is true or false. What the master of Shaolin Temple said cannot be false. This is the first of countless masters in Wucheng. I have never heard of any master entering the virtual realm before. Maybe in the future He is invincible in the world. With such a hall master protecting him, he will no longer have to fear other forces. How can he not cheer for joy.
In fact, the virtual realm of Chu Xiang is not as powerful as everyone imagined. He may be a little stronger than Wu Mingzi, Zhang Zhenbian and the others. His realm is not yet stable. In addition, since he has not entered the Tao through martial arts, his combat effectiveness is far less than that of masters who use martial arts to break the mirror. .
Another monk held up a red box, Zhao Shixiang took it, and everyone quickly became quiet.
"Thank you, Master, for presiding over this. I will remember it well. I wish Buddhism prospers and Buddhism will flourish." Chu Xiang nodded in greeting.
"Thank you for your kind words, sir. I will take my leave," Shi Xingyun said with his hands folded together.
"Please." Chu Xiang handed over his hands.
After Shi Xingyun and others left, Chu Xiang waved slightly, and the red box opened. Inside was a bead with a faint glow, about the size of an egg, which was very attractive.
"Take it and put it in the mouth of Chief Changsun." Chu Xiang said.
This is a luminous pearl. Legend has it that it can prevent corpses from decaying. Such a large pearl is extremely valuable, so Shaolin Temple also took great care to send it such a treasure.
Such a priceless treasure was actually buried with Chang Sun Yue. Everyone looked at Chu Xiang in a different way. If he could work under such a hall master, there was nothing to worry about.
Seeing Chu Xiang looking over, Zhao Shixiang bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Master, everyone is here."
Zhao Shixiang did not expect that Chu Xiang was so familiar with the rules of the world. At first, he thought that Chu Xiang was a master who only knew how to practice. Although his strength was great, he did not know how to deal with people. He was thinking about whether to smooth things over when necessary. Unexpectedly, Chu Xiang was very experienced in receiving people from both factions, and his words were amazing and impeccable.
This was not the only case for Zhao Shixiang. Most of the people below met Chu Xiang for the first time. Their understanding of Chu Xiang was limited to Jianghu legends. The visit of the two factions was of great concern, so they were all nervous, fearing that Chu Xiang would handle it improperly and cause unhappiness. , Unexpectedly, Chu Xiang not only has superb martial arts, but also has excellent eloquence, and is extremely polite in dealing with others.
Chu Xiang glanced at the people below. With five pills and more than two hundred marrows, the strength of the Jiangwu Hall was considered adequate. He slowly said: "The Jiangwu Hall was established because Changsun Yue wanted to gain something for everyone. A piece of peace, I don’t want to be involved in the disputes between Jianghu and let Changsun Yue act in my name, and I don’t want her to die because of it. Killing people must pay for their lives, especially if they kill people who teach martial arts in me. No matter who he is, he must pay the price. Therefore, I killed twenty-one of the murderers to honor the heroic soul of my martial arts hall."
Without letting everyone shout out the excitement in their hearts, Chu Xiang continued: "The Jiangwu Hall can reach its current scale because of Chang Sun Yue's planning. Her wish should continue. The Jiangwu Hall does not offend others and does not allow others to infringe. You must keep in mind the last wish of General Manager Changsun, strengthen yourself with martial arts, protect the country and the people, and do not act recklessly. If you are found to have done anything wrong, you will be expelled from the martial arts hall immediately."
"Yes, Hall Master." Zuo Ran shouted loudly when he noticed that Chu Xiang was looking at him.
Glancing at the excited crowd, Chu Xiang said: "Zhao Shixiang of the Foreign Affairs Department failed to collect intelligence and was demoted to deputy position. The Planning Department did not make a correct response plan. Minister Zhu Zhiming was demoted to deputy position. The people in the Operations Department were in confusion. Minister Wei Wu was removed from his post temporarily. Led by the Deputy Minister.”
Zhao Shixiang knew that Chu Xiang was definitely going to make some moves, but he didn't expect that he would be the first to make a move. Fortunately, he was only demoted to deputy director. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Master, for your kindness."
Zhu Zhiming was a very old-fashioned young man. He stepped forward with an awkward expression: "Zhu Zhiming takes the order."
Wei Wu's expression changed slightly. He did not expect that he would be dismissed directly. He sighed slightly, took a few steps back, and retreated into the general audience.
"Yang Rong." Chu Xiang called.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xiang would call her, Yang Rong quickly stood up: "Brother Xiang."
"From now on, you are the director of the Foreign Affairs Department." Chu Xiang said seriously.
Yang Rong's eyes lit up. She knew that Chu Xiang must have something to do for her when he called her. She didn't expect it to be such a big deal. She happily imitated others and said, "Yes, Hall Master."
Although he has not been with Yang Rong for a short time, Chu Xiang is well aware of her character. Yang Rong is not interested in practicing martial arts. She has a smart mind and has several years of star experience. She is skilled in dealing with people. She is the only one under Chu Xiang who is suitable for these things. , being the director of the Foreign Affairs Department is perfect.
Zhao Shixiang's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect that a department director would be parachuted in. She was also a beautiful woman, and she was also a member of Chu Xiang's disciples.
The crowd looked at the beautiful woman on the steps and felt a little strange about Chu Xiang's arrangement. However, there were many women in the martial arts hall, so it was not strange for a woman to lead a department. Xie Yan took charge of many women in the women's department.
"Wei Wu." Chu Xiang said.
"My subordinate is here." Unexpectedly, Chu Xiang called him again, and Wei Wu stepped forward quickly.
"Deputy Director of the Internal Security Department."
"Yes." Wei Wu was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, he came back from the dead and entered the powerful interior guard hall. He stepped forward and stood among the second row of people.
"The Intelligence Department and the picket team are newly established. Jin Zilong, deputy director of the Internal Security Department, is appointed as the director of the intelligence department. The personnel are selected by themselves. The upper limit is five hundred. Yonghua, you are temporarily appointed as the captain of the picket team. The upper limit is two hundred. The personnel are selected by oneself."
Zhao Shixiang looked gloomy. Sure enough, Chu Xiang divided his foreign affairs department and made the intelligence department independent. He also set up a picket team and appointed his disciples as captains to monitor everyone. This was an extremely clever move.
"Yes, Hall Master." Jin Zilong took two steps forward and stood in the first row, slightly cupping his hands with a deep expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Yes, boss." Dou Yonghua stood up and stood in a row with Jin Zilong and others, entering his role.
"Shi Zihan, Deputy Minister of Intelligence." Chu Xiang continued.
Shi Zihan is a woman and Xie Yan's deputy minister. Yingying saluted and said, "Yes, Master."
A large part of the intelligence in Jiangwu Hall comes from those women. Xie Yan has an impulsive personality and is not suitable for such secret activities. Shi Zihan is the most scheming woman under Xie Yan, so it is perfect for her to be placed in the Intelligence Department, where she can check and balance him. Being able to coordinate all the information, this Lord Demon Lord should not be underestimated. Jin Zilong's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Chu Xiang.
"What's your name?" Chu Xiang suddenly pointed at someone in the crowd and said.
Knowing that Chu Xiang was referring to him, a lean middle-aged man raised his head and said, "Cao Zhengde."
"Deputy Hall of Jingwu Hall," Chu Xiang said.
"Yes, Hall Master." Cao Zhengde walked out of the crowd and stood in the second row. Only then did Zuo Ran realize that this man was actually a master of Dan Jin level, and he had never noticed it.
