Chapter 54 The Curtain Opens

After sending Sun Heyu away, Qi Xuansu returned to the signing room. On his desk were three files, namely Sun Yaoping's personal file, the latest medical record of the Lord of Dayu issued by Huashengtang, and the interim summary of the investigation of the dragon gas leak.

This means three clues, and these three clues are not completely isolated, but intersect with each other. For example, the Lord of Dayu's condition is inseparable from the dragon gas leak.

Qi Xuansu picked up the medical record and read it again.

According to the comparison between the two medical records, it can be found that the Lord of Dayu's condition has not improved, but has a tendency to worsen. It's just that the Lord of Dayu no longer has that weird nightmare and no longer dreams of Wu Luo.

But in fact, there is no way to verify whether it is a dream or not. It's all one-sided words of the Lord of Dayu. Maybe he has been dreaming all the time, but he deliberately said that he didn't dream now. It may also be that he has never dreamed, but he deliberately said that he had nightmares in the past.

There must be something strange here, but Qi Xuansu can't figure out what his intention is for the time being, so he can only hope that Chen Jianqiu will make progress.

Then there is Sun Yaoping. After Xu Jiaorong's reminder and Sun Heyu's reaction, Qi Xuansu is almost certain that there is something wrong with this kid. This is not surprising. With his trouble-making personality, the biggest problem is to be innocent.

Qi Xuansu has participated in many major cases. All major cases have a characteristic, that is, starting from small things. No one goes straight to the point right away. They all start from small minions, involve middle-level leaders, and finally get to the big figures behind the scenes. This process is both following the clues and cutting off the wings. Now it seems that Sun Yaoping is just a small minion, a thread.

Of course, Qi Xuansu must first ensure the safety of Sun Yaoping and not let him die. Although Sun Heyu should not be so cruel, it is hard to guarantee that other people will not have this idea. They can stimulate Sun Heyu to fight with Qi Xuansu through Sun Yaoping's death to achieve the purpose of borrowing a knife to kill.

Logically speaking, Sun Heyu, as a former Chanzhi Zhenren, should be able to see through this little trick at a glance, but after some contact, Qi Xuansu always felt that this old Zhenren was a little out of touch. It may also be that as the deadline of life and death gradually approaches, his mentality has changed a lot and become extreme. He may not be as clear-headed as when he was young, so he must be guarded against.

, and he is not a Taoist priest who has experienced many storms, so he can't be said to be cunning and sly. Isolate him and he can't communicate with the outside world. He doesn't know what happened outside, so he will panic. Let's leave him alone for a few days and show that he is not in a hurry. He will take the initiative to ask to talk to us. "

"What Assistant Xu said is right." Qi Xuansu agreed and explained a little more, "The key is to isolate well and not let the outsiders pass on the message. Assistant Xu, you are the chief steward of the Water Palace. You know who can be trusted and who cannot be trusted. Now is a special period. You have to guard the door of the Water Palace tightly, so that not even a mosquito can fly in."

Xu Jiaorong said seriously: "Please rest assured, Qi Cixi."

Qi Xuansu will naturally not be in charge of this matter personally like when he was the head of the matter. His main energy will be focused on the upcoming Daofu meeting, which he pushed for in order to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth investigation of the dragon gas leakage and continue to dig deeper along the line of dragon gas.

There is no doubt that the dragon gas leakage must be related to the Daofu. Without the cooperation of the people in the Daofu, it is impossible to conceal the truth and create two divine descending containers in Shenglong Mansion.

This matter will definitely not be passed in the meeting of the Lord of the Mansion, so the Daofu meeting must be held.

After Xu Jiaorong left, Qi Xuansu sat on the chair and reviewed the enemy and our situation again.

In addition to the head of the palace, the chief and the second, there are seven deputy palace masters, at least four of whom are from the Wang family. The remaining three deputy palace masters do not mean that they are on Qi Xuansu's side. It can only be said that they may be close to Qi Xuansu, or for the sake of Lan Da Zhenren. Now that Lan Da Zhenren is gone, their position is not firm.

In addition, Xu Jiaorong and two first-grade spiritual officials can participate in the great discussion. They are absolutely on Qi Xuansu's side. There are also six second-grade spiritual officials, at least four of whom are on Qi Xuansu's side. This is not because Qi Xuansu's prestige is so high, but because they are all Lan Da Zhenren's people.

However, Wang Jiaohe has been operating in Borneo for many years, and the infiltration of spiritual officials is quite serious. The first-grade spiritual officials have a transcendent status and are directly under the spiritual official mansion. He can't intervene, but the second-grade spiritual officials are not so easy to say, especially some spiritual officials who have close relations with the Daofu. On the contrary, the spiritual officials stationed in the Xuanwei Division of Jiugang are relatively clean.

The rest are some special third-rank secluded Taoist priests. All nine halls have branch halls. Generally, only the branch hall principal is appointed. According to the recent reform of the Taoist sect, the principal is the chief principal. However, some more important branch halls will also have assistants, who are above the principal and are equivalent to ordinary deputy hall masters of the main hall, but have no right to participate in the Taoist hall's affairs.

In the Taoist prefecture of Borneo, because the maritime trade here is prosperous and it is a border area, it also involves dealing with outsiders, so the Shibo Hall, Tiangang Hall, and Ancestral Hall have assistants. Eleven large ships sank in a year, and the Shibo Hall must be involved, but the assistants of Tiangang Hall and

Ancestral Hall are from Qi Xuansu's side. Of course, this is not because Qi Xuansu is so domineering that he has convinced the two assistants before they met, but because Qi Xuansu represents the Golden Palace.

After all calculations, it can only be said that Qi Xuansu has a chance of winning, but it cannot be said that he will win. There are still many variables.

The day after Sun Heyu came to see Qi Xuansu's important person, the upper echelons of the Borneo Taoist government had already arrived one after another, and the Taoist government meeting officially began.

The entire Borneo Taoist Government is paying close attention to this Taoist meeting, and not only the Borneo Taoist Government, but also the various countries and forces in Southeast Asia are also paying close attention to the results of the Taoist meeting.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Taoist palace meeting was clearly divided into two camps. One camp was headed by the real person in charge of the palace, Wang Jiaohe, and the other camp was headed by the second deputy palace leader Qi Xuansu.

Logically speaking, the Nanyang native faction represented by Wang Jiaohe should be more powerful, but Qi Xuansu represents Jinque and Taoism, which makes many people dare not confront them head-on. There are also many people who have been dissatisfied with Wang Jiaohe for a long time, but they have never dared to show up. Taking this opportunity, they simply sided with Qi Xuansu. There are also some people who are from Landa Zhenren, so they naturally support Qi Xuansu.

Therefore, the two camps are evenly matched.

Many people had a vague premonition that Nanyang was about to change.

With the great Taoist government meeting,

The celebration organized by Jack soon began, and the central square as the venue began to be decorated with various decorations, arrangements, etc.

But as a natural flaw of the undead, no matter how you look at this celebration, it looks like a funeral, or the kind of funeral that tends to be scary.

The silent movements, mechanical arrangements, and gray tones all seemed to foreshadow what was to come next.

In order to attract the residents, Jack made a special announcement that every resident who came to participate in the celebration would be given a Death Stone as a reward.

This trick has had some effect. A dead stone is still very attractive to ordinary residents of the dead city, and they can also watch a performance for free. No matter how you look at it, it is a cost-effective thing.

Therefore, when the day of the celebration was held, many residents of the Dead City came to participate. King Quan could only secretly ask Rooney's Bone Chewing Gang to come forward and restrain the residents of the South District not to go.

Although he has destroyed Jack's arrangement in the sewer, there is no guarantee that Jack will not have other methods. These dead city residents will still be in danger.

However, Wang Quan naturally cannot intervene in this kind of thing, and can only rely on Rooney and others. But even though Rooney and others used many methods, many residents of the South District still secretly went to participate.

In this regard, the royal power has no good solution. It can only wish them not to suffer too many casualties.

After that, Wang Quan left some subordinates in the South District to prevent any unexpected events, and then went to the Central Square in person. He must go to Jack's celebration in person, so that he could break any conspiracy as soon as possible.

Looking at the central square that was gradually filling up, Jack held a necklace tightly and murmured: "Xi, it's coming soon, we will see you again soon."

This is a very ordinary necklace, but its meaning to Jack is extraordinary, because it is the first gift that Xi gave him.

The celebration has begun!

The circus as a guest performer began to perform, although it was a bit strange that the performance was not singing or dancing.

But the conditions are limited, so I can only make do, but the effect is indeed pretty good.

At the very least, the reason for the lack of entertainment is because Wang Quan killed the "Shadow of Death" and revived their suppressed emotions, or it was a combination of both.

But the happy time is always short-lived. Soon the circus performance ended and it was the city lord's turn to speak. The clowns and magicians also came off the stage to wait.

The residents of the dead city all looked up at their nominal manager. After decades of staying behind closed doors, the residents of the dead city had forgotten what their city lord looked like. At first glance, they were very curious. .

Wang Quan also mingled with the residents and looked up at the sister-controlled city lord. To be honest, although he had thwarted the other party's plans several times, this was the first time he had met him formally.

The sister-in-law city lord was quite good-looking. Wang Quan once saw a portrait of him during his lifetime and said that he was personable, handsome and promising.

After death, he was not transformed into an ordinary undead, but maintained his appearance in life, except that his skin became extremely pale, and his eyes always revealed a sense of sadness, which made Jack look like a The hesitant flower boy.

But Wang Quan knew that inside this beautiful body, there was a twisted and abnormal soul.

Under the cold eyes of King Quan, Jack walked slowly to the high platform of the celebration, holding a cane in his other hand and a necklace in his other hand.

Standing high up, Jack looked over and said that Jack was not a cruel person. If there was no such thing as sister control, Jack might become an excellent ruler.

But just like the Uchiha weasel, Jack also cares about other people and the bullshit city lord whom he hasn't seen for a long time actually wants their lives, what a joke.

, the emotions of the residents of the dead city began to recover, and Jack's words had aroused public outrage.

Many residents didn't want to listen to Jack's nonsense anymore and stood up to leave. Some even wanted to come up and beat him.

In the face of these commotions, Jack remained calm. He just bowed slightly and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Then, the hand stick was lightly tapped on the ground, and suddenly a stream of light began to disperse from the ground in all directions, like an activated switch.

The entire dead city started to move instantly, and the ground and standard buildings were all lit up with brilliant magic lights, making the originally dark city extremely bright.

This was actually not originally a magic circle for sacrifice. On the eve of the outbreak of the disaster of death, Jack was seduced by a mysterious wizard and used a huge amount of death power to resurrect his lover. This array was arranged in the entire city to absorb the dead air and then transform it.

But later Jack's action failed, and he buried himself in the castle as a otaku, and painstakingly studied the method of resurrecting his sister, and this magic circle was abandoned.

Until the Dead City Council came to power, it began to organize people to renovate this magic circle and transformed it into a city defense array for the Dead City to protect the Dead City.

The fact that the headless knight Dolson did not cause trouble for the Dead City was partly due to this.

But as time goes by, today, this array will return to its original purpose.
