The Qingtang Imperial Master, who is suspected to be the 'See You Tomorrow' monk, has returned to the royal city?
This news made Qin Shaoyou's expression become solemn instantly.
He put down the ghost bone he was about to brush with sauce and asked, "When did he come back? What did he do after he came back?"
Zhu Xiucai shook his head: "Qingtang Imperial Master was discovered by people from the Internal Guards this morning on the official road fifty miles west of the royal city. At this time, his convoy should have just been welcomed back to the royal city. I haven't heard of anything yet. Follow-up actions.”
"Send someone to keep an eye on it secretly."
After Qin Shaoyou thought about it briefly, he made arrangements.
"As soon as this national master comes back, the old King Qingtang will start a new round of rebirth. Haibulu has already run away, and he can only use his other sons as targets for the seizure. According to the clues we have obtained, And the inferred results are that his sons are not very compatible with him, and it is easy for problems to arise during the process of seizing the body, and that is our chance to get rid of him."
Old Qingtang King is not only cunning, but also ruthless. Once he succeeds in seizing the body, and then gets together with the Black Lotus Sect, it will definitely cause disaster!
Qin Qiaoer responded: "Don't worry, as soon as we received the news, we asked Daoist Cui and Daoist Qiu to release their paper men and Gu insects, and set up surveillance eyes in the royal city. Daoist Cui didn't come over. It’s because he is busy controlling the paper man and has no time to distract himself.”
Qin Shaoyou was relieved.
With his elder sister here, he can consider everything very carefully, so he can save a lot of worry.
Of course, he did not forget to warn: "Brother Cui and Brother Qiu, please be careful. If Qingtang Guoshi is really the 'see you tomorrow' monk, then he is not only strong and discerning, but also very cunning, but Qian Qian Don’t let him figure it out.”
Zhu Xiucai accepted the order and flattered him: "Your Excellency, you are still thoughtful. I will remind the old Taoist and Taoist Qiu to be careful."
Qin Shaoyou nodded, and then asked: "Besides the return of the imperial master to the royal city, has anything else happened in the past two days?"
It's true, but it's good news.
Qin Qiaoer said: "My teacher took the masters of the Red Envoy and secretly rushed to the Qingtang King's City. Under our cover, they were secretly setting up a network inside and outside the city to set up a new intelligence network. In addition, Bai Qingjiang Shui Bo and Cai Guizhong The city emperor also rushed to Qingtang King City..."
Qin Shaoyou was shocked: "I really only stayed in seclusion for two days, not two months?"
Why did so many things happen all at once in these two days?
More things happened than in the previous ten days and a half?
Fortunately, what Qin Qiaoer said is good news.
Although Qingtang Imperial Master arrived at the royal city, reinforcements from his side also arrived.
With the three demigod-level masters Qi Longfei, Bai Qingjiang Shuibo and Wei Tu, if they want to cause trouble in the old Qingtang King's rebirth ceremony, the success rate will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
Qin Shaoyou thought that there was still a task to be entrusted to Uncle Bai Qingjiang, so he asked, "Where is my brother?"
…
After a pause, he said again: "Lao Cai is here too? I didn't call him this time."
"Afraid of arousing suspicion among the people in Zhuangzi, Baiqingjiang Shuibo did not change into a human form, but hid in the river that crosses Zhuangzi. As for Lao Cai, although you did not send anyone to call him, But he knew you needed help through your last recruitment of underworld soldiers, so he rushed over."
Zhu Xiucai narrated the situation to Qin Shaoyou, and then said with a smile: "Don't you know, sir? Uncle Bai Qingjiang Shui and Lao Cai have both been promoted! We have to find an opportunity to treat them."
"Promotion?"
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
"You mean, the imperial court's edict to them?"
"That's right." Zhu Xiucai nodded with a smile.
Qin Qiaoer took over the conversation and introduced to Qin Shaoyou: "The Baiqingjiang Shuibo was named the Yizhou Water God by the imperial court and was in charge of the rivers and rivers in Yizhou. As for the city emperor Cai Guizhong, he was promoted from the county emperor of Mianyuan County. He became the capital emperor of Yizhou."
There are several levels of the City Emperor.
Like Cai Guizhong in the past, he was just a county emperor and was in charge of a county.
It is only because of the lack of immortals and gods in the world today, and there are no city emperors in many places, that he can borrow the authority of city emperors elsewhere to assume the duties of city emperors elsewhere.
For example, in Qingtang Guard, Cai Guizhong used this method to temporarily take over the position of City Emperor of Qingtang Guard.
The city emperors of places like Qingtangwei and Luocheng are Fucheng emperors. He is in charge of a land with one guard and one mansion, which is one level higher than Cai Guizhong's previous county emperor.
Further up, Cai Guizhong is now the capital city emperor, who can take charge of a state.
To put it simply, they are the city emperor’s version of county magistrates, mayors, and senior officials.
Cai Guizhong was promoted from county magistrate to senior official this time, and Bai Qingjiang Shui Bo was almost the same.
I just don’t know whether the imperial edict of the Xia Kingdom can be recognized by heaven and earth?
But no matter what, this is a generous reward. It also made Qin Shaoyou frown slightly, feeling that the imperial title given to Bai Qingjiang Shui Bo and Cai Guizhong was a bit excessive.
Even if there is a lack of immortal gods in the world today, it is not possible for these two people to suddenly rise from the gods of a river and the gods of a county to the water gods and city emperors in charge of a state, right?
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou pondered and said: "I'm afraid the imperial court promoted my brother and Lao Cai not just because of their meritorious service in Qingtang Guard, right? Is there any other plan?"
Zhu Xiucai replied: "I don't know about this, but I asked Lao Cai, and he said that the official who sent him the appointment document passed an oral instruction from Emperor Jianwu, asking him to come to Beijing before the ceremony. It's said that Emperor Jianwu wanted to see him, the 'living' city emperor. I haven't asked Baiqingjiang Shuibo yet, but he should have received the same order."
"Is the Dharma Ceremony still going on? When?" Qin Shaoyou asked with a frown.
"It's November 11th," Zhu Xiucai replied.
"double eleven?"
Qin Shaoyou clicked his tongue in surprise.
Emperor Jianwu set the date of the Dharma Ceremony on this day. Could it be that he wanted to make a big purchase? But what does he want to purchase?
Qin Shaoyou pondered deeply.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this ceremony is not as simple as it seems. Unfortunately, the lack of clues prevented him from guessing what Emperor Jianwu wanted to do.
…
"It's still a long time before Double Eleven. Let's not think about these things for now and settle the things in front of us first."
Qin Shaoyou quickly put away his distracting thoughts, put on a human skin mask, transformed back into Dazan, and prepared to go to Bai Qingjiang Shuibo.
No, he should be called Yizhou Water God now.
Speaking of which, Qin Shaoyou has known his brother for so long that he doesn’t even know the name of the former Baiqingjiang Shuibo and the current Yizhou Water God...
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou was somewhat embarrassed, but he still wanted to see the other party because he had something to ask him to do.
Since Cai Guizhong is also here, it just so happens that the two of them do it together.
Qin Shaoyou quickly wrapped the ghost bones in demon sauce and marinated them in a pot. He sprinkled some vinegar on the demon blood that was beginning to solidify, called Qiurong to help him keep an eye on the two ingredients, and was about to leave the kitchen.
As he walked, he asked: "By the way, Xiucai, have you prepared the 'evidence' of the Wild Burial Valley incident in the past two days?"
"Ready."
Zhu Xiucai smiled and said with a bit of credit: "Old Li and I have worked hard to produce these 'evidences', and I guarantee that we will satisfy the old King Qingtang."
"very good."
After Qin Shaoyou praised him, he said sternly: "Go and get the 'evidence'. I will go to see the old King Qingtang later, and find out the details of the national master and see if he is a 'meet you tomorrow' monk. By the way, Please tell me about your experiences in the past two days, and don’t reveal your secrets..."
