Qi Xuansu originally wanted to continue talking in depth, but at this moment, the "sound transmission array" placed inside the vault lit up.
Because the vault is isolated from the inside and outside, making it inconvenient to enter and exit, a fixed "sound transmission array" is specially set up for communication.
Hu Fuli quickly picked up the "sound transmission array", and after a few words of conversation, his expression changed slightly, and he said to Qi Xuansu: "Qi Cixian, I'm looking for you."
Qi Xuansu walked over and saw that on the other side of the "sound transmission array" was Ding Chou Lingguan.
Before Qi Xuansu could ask a question, Ding Chou Lingguan had already got straight to the point: "Second seat, Assistant Xu has urgent news. Something happened to the great master."
Qi Xuansu's heart sank: "What on earth is going on?"
It’s no wonder that Qi Xuansu was shocked. It would have made sense if it were someone else’s accident. However, it’s hard to imagine what happened to Master Lan Da. He is the highest-ranking person in the Borneo Taoist Mansion, and he is also an immortal in the stage of immortality. He is in charge of immortal objects and represents The key to the highest combat power of the Borneo Taoist government is that Master Lan is not in some remote place, but in Shenglongfu, the headquarters of the Borneo Taoist government. To say that something happened to him is like the third division being in danger in Yujing.
If something unexpected happens to Master Landa, then the entire Borneo Taoist government will be in danger.
This can't help but remind people of the Fenglinzhou war that has not yet ended. If at the beginning of the war, the Zunbang faction made up their mind to get rid of Zhang Qihan, the master in charge, it would be a terrible thing.
Lingguan Ding Chou was also uneasy: "It is said that he was ambushed by an ancient immortal. The incident happened so suddenly that no one expected it. Fortunately, the great master was only injured and there is no danger to his life."
Qi Xuansu immediately remembered what happened to the Lord of Dayu and asked, "Is it related to them?"
The "they" here are naturally some people from the Borneo Province. In other words, Qi Xuansu suspected that there was an inner ghost who should cooperate with the outside.
Ding Choulingguan said: "It's not clear yet."
Qi Xuansu asked again: "Have you reported it to Jinque?"
Spirit Officer Ding Chou hesitated for a moment: "Not yet. From what Xu Fuli said, this is Da Zhenren's decision."
Qi Xuansu fell into deep thought and his mood changed rapidly.
Although Landa Zhenren is not in danger of his life, there is a secret feeling of mourning.
This shows that the situation of Master Landa is very bad, and he is even unable to participate in the affairs of the Board of Directors normally. Moreover, if the great master, the Master, is injured, there will definitely be a lot of noise, and it is impossible to completely hide it from other people's ears. However, outsiders did not know the specific situation in a short period of time. They might just have suspicions and were afraid of Landa Zhenren's daily power and did not dare to act rashly.
It's just that this situation won't last long. If Master Landa doesn't come forward for a day, their suspicion will become more serious, and then they will conduct various tests, so this is just a delaying strategy.
As for why Landa Master does not want to report to Jinque, this is a matter of personal honor and disgrace. This is also the consistent practice of various Taoist governments. It is best not to alert the superiors for matters that can be solved by oneself, otherwise it will leave a bad impression on the superiors. Personal evaluation will also be affected.
Although Landa Zhenren is old and does not seek further progress, he still has a posthumous reputation. Many people are willing to die for this posthumous reputation, and no one wants to leave a bad reputation. Therefore, suppress them if you can, hide them if you can, and don't report them to Jinque unless absolutely necessary.
Official Ding Chou interrupted Qi Xuansu's thoughts: "Qi Chou, are we..."
Qi Xuansu made a decision immediately: "Let's not talk about it for now. I will leave the treasury and talk about it later."
Hu Fuli and Zhou Yonghe both looked at Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu tried his best to stay calm: "I have something urgent to deal with. I'm afraid I have to leave Lion City early. Could you please help Hu Li to open the door?"
The two of them vaguely felt that something was wrong, but they both knew the rules and didn't ask any more questions.
Assistant Hu went directly to open the door of the treasury.
Qi Xuansu glanced at Zhou Yonghe one last time: "I'll leave the accounting to Zhou Xiangli."
After coming out of the vault, Qi Xuansu saw Ding Chou Lingguan who was already waiting here.
Qi Xuansu asked directly: "What does Xu Fuli mean from the Taoist side?"
Ding Chouling said: "Xu Fuli hopes that Qi Chou will
Xi ended his trip early and returned to the Taoist mansion immediately to take charge of the overall situation to prevent any unexpected events. "
Although Ding Chou Ling Guan is higher in rank than Qi Xuansu, there is a fatal problem. She is a Ling Guan, not a Taoist priest. Ling Guan cannot directly intervene in Taoist affairs. This is why among the Ling Guan rankings, she is the second deputy palace master. the following reasons. To put it bluntly, similar to the previous dynasty in the late Wei Dynasty, the nobles and military officials were humble, fifth-grade civil servants could also participate in government affairs, and military attachés, even if they were second-grade officials, did not necessarily have a say.
Master Landa encountered an accident and the situation was unknown. When the two spiritual officers returned, they could guard Master Landa, but they could not interfere with the internal decision-making of the Taoist government. They would only be suppressed by the laws of the Taoist sect. Xu Jiaorong is just an assistant, and all honor and disgrace are tied to Master Lan Da. When Master Lan Da is here, she is the second emperor. When Master Lan Da is not around, she is just a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest.
The two spiritual officials are known as Landa Zhenren's right-hand men, and Xu Jiaorong is Landa Zhenren's secretary. The three of them are one, like a triangle surrounding Landa Zhenren.
So at this point, the three people had the same attitude, letting Qi Xuansu come back to take charge of the situation.
Although Qi Xuansu's rank is not high, he is a Taoist priest and the second deputy palace master. The key is the angel of Jinque. He always has the qualification to speak, and the senior Taoist palace officials who stand on the side of Master Landa are also willing to listen to him.
It's as if the old emperor died suddenly. Even if the prince is just a young man, with his status and bound by rules and etiquette, he can always convince everyone. The most fearful thing is that without an heir, he will fall into a quarrel and go his own way.
Qi Xuansu understood this and asked, "Have you notified the Jiayin Lingguan?"
Ding Chou Lingguan said: "He has been notified and he is mobilizing the Lingguan to prevent any unexpected events."
Qi Xuansu said: "We are not going back by flying boat. Let the Jiayin Lingguan mobilize a "Yinglong" and prepare heavy firearms. I will bear any responsibilities afterwards. "
Ding Chou Lingguan was taken aback, because this move was somewhat taboo, and was suspected of forcing the emperor to conceive. However, she also admired Qi Xuansu's decisiveness. If he was timid and indecisive at this time, it would be easy to cause serious trouble.
Ding Chouling said, "I'll inform him right away."
Qi Xuansu told Ke Qingqing: "Go and tell Han Yongfeng to stay in Lion City and pay attention to the situation in Shenglong Mansion through the Nanting Protectorate. When the situation stabilizes, he will return to Shenglong Mansion. If the situation is not right, go immediately Lingnan Daofu, go see Master Zhang."
Now Qi Xuansu already knows about Zhang Yuelu's appointment as the second deputy head of Lingnan Taoist Palace. He and Zhang Yuelu are not only Taoist lovers, but also partners who fight side by side and allies who advance and retreat together. Zhang Yuelu is Qi Xuansu's most trusted person in the Taoist sect. people.
Ke Qingqing took the order and left.
Out of consideration for himself, Qi Xuansu was also not in a hurry to report to Jinque.
One is that the situation is unclear. When he reported to Jinque, he could only report that one Lan Daren was attacked. This was something that Lan Daren did not want to see. Since Lan Daren did not let Xu Jiaorong report to Jinque, it meant that Lan Daren did not allow Xu Jiaorong to report to Jinque. Da Zhenren thinks that the matter has not reached that point yet. If Qi Xuansu rashly stabbed him in the sky, and waits until Zhenren Lan Da turns the corner, will he think that Qi Xuansu betrayed him?
The second is that Qi Xuansu, as the envoy of Jinque and a member of the local Taoist government, asking Jinque for instructions on everything will give people the impression of incompetence. This is an opportunity to take the lead alone. Qi Xuansu stood up, which shows that he has the ability to take charge of his own affairs. For big things, calmness can be of great use. If you can't hold it up or shrink back, you will inevitably be rated as unusable.
To put it bluntly, if Jin Que has to step in to solve everything, then what do you need Qi Xuansu to do? Giving you so many resources and such a high status is not to let you go to Nanyang to test the bottom line, but to solve problems. If there is a problem now, if you don’t solve it, who will solve it?
The third point is that generally speaking, it is Jin Que who knows about the matter from other channels and takes the initiative to intervene. It is rare for local governments to take the initiative to report Jin Que.
Even if the city is abandoned, the local high-level officials will not choose to report it immediately. Instead, they will choose to fight hard and try to take the place back first, and then talk about other things. Once it is recaptured, there is room for change and the sin will not be too great. Of course, if you try hard and fail, causing the situation to completely collapse, the person involved may also choose to die.
fourth
Point, if Qi Xuansu reported to Jinque, then Jinque must not pretend not to have seen it, and must have a clear attitude. This may intensify the conflict in Borneo, alert the snake, or even force Jinque to report it without being fully prepared. Taking action in advance ruined Master Donghua's overall strategy, and in the end, Qi Xuansu forced Master Donghua to do it.
In short, for individuals, reporting to Jinque is not a wise choice, but a last resort.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu thought about it and decided not to report it to Jinque for the time being, but to rely on his own ability to solve the matter.
Qi Xuansu thought for a while and tried to contact Qiniang again.
It turned out that Qiniang was not within the contact range. It seemed that Qiniang was still in the Central Plains and had not come to Nanyang.
Qi Xuansu couldn't say he was disappointed. He left Taiping Bank Nanyang headquarters, left the Lion City, and came to the seaside to wait for the arrival of the Jiayin Lingguan.
Jiugang Xuanweisi and Lion City are only a stone's throw away, separated by some islands, and they are considered neighbors. They also use flying boats instead of sea ships, so the Jiayin Lingguan arrived very quickly.
One "Yinglong" and three accompanying "Purple Dragons", a total of three thousand spiritual officers.
Don't think that three thousand people is a small number. The palace changes in the past dynasties, that is, the scale of a few thousand people determines the master of a dynasty.
The Nanting Protector's Mansion has received the news and is not expecting a formidable enemy.
"Purple Dragon" still remained in the air, "Yinglong" slowly lowered, and saw Jia Yin Lingguan standing at the bow of the ship. Lingguan's armor had been neatly draped, and even his face shield had been lowered.
Qi Xuansu thought to himself that if he were alone, he would not be able to make any big waves, but now that there are two first-grade spiritual officers and three thousand spiritual officers, that is a different matter.
