Chapter 173: The Final Peace

Li Changge took over the Beichen branch and naturally released Chen Jianchou.

Before that, the Huasheng branch conducted a comprehensive and thorough inspection of Chen Jianchou. If the people of the Beichen branch tortured Chen Jianchou, then they would naturally have to add a score when they settled the accounts later.

Qi Niang taught Qi Xuansu that if he lost, he would bear a grudge, and if he won, he would fight back.

In addition, it was also to ensure that no one left any tricks on Chen Jianchou. After all, there were still many such means, such as a thought, a breath, etc. Everyone was not an ordinary person, so naturally there would be corresponding prevention and detection means.

After Chen Jianchou came out, Qi Xuansu was too busy to split himself, so he asked Ke Qingqing to greet Chen Jianchou and calm him down.

Ke Qingqing came to the gate of the Beichen branch, waited for a while, and saw Chen Jianchou walking out accompanied by two Taoists.

After not seeing him for a while, Chen Jianchou's face was a little pale, but there was no obvious injury. It seemed to be a not-so-good memory.

The two Taoist priests from Beichen Hall smiled and kept a low profile.

Anyone could see that Secretary Chen had gone out and was promoted to a high-ranking Taoist priest. She would definitely have a promising future. Even if Chief Qi did not pursue the matter, Secretary Chen could pursue it herself. Who would dare to offend him? He had to make amends quickly.

Chen Jianchou was not gloomy, at least not on his face, but with deep fatigue. After seeing Ke Qingqing, Chen Jianchou was refreshed: "Senior Sister Ke."

The two did not have a master-disciple relationship, but as the two former and current secretaries of Qi Xuansu, Ke Qingqing was considered a senior and had taught Chen Jianchou for a period of time, so she called him "Senior Sister".

Ke Qingqing smiled and said, "The chief is very busy, so let me come to greet you on his behalf."

Chen Jianchou said, "I'm sorry to have caused trouble to the chief. I've also troubled Senior Sister Ke during my absence."

"We are family, so there's no need to be sour. This time, they are not only targeting you, and they are not only threatening the chief." Ke Qingqing waved her hand, "You've suffered. The chief arranged for me to calm you down. Let's go."

The two got on the carriage and headed for the Taiping Inn in the city.

The Beichen Hall branch is not far from the Taiping Inn, so the two talked about what happened in the recent days in the carriage. Chen Jianchou didn't expect that there was such a connection, and he couldn't help but admire Chief Qi's methods.

Chen Jianchou couldn't help but ask, "Is the king okay?"

Ke Qingqing laughed, "With Chief Qi's care and Deputy Chief Zhang's protection, it's naturally foolproof."

Chen Jianchou was relieved.

On the other side, in the Tianfu Palace in Lion City

Xiao Yin was standing obediently with her arms open. Zhang Yuelu took a small dress and put it on Xiao Yin, and then buttoned it up.

Xiao Yin turned around, and Zhang Yuelu combed her hair.

To be fair, Zhang Yuelu is not a good wife and mother in the traditional sense. In a sense, she is not good at housework, but Xiao Yin is an exception.

Although she didn't like Xiao Yin very much at the beginning, her impression will change over time. Especially this time, Xiao Yin has made a great contribution. If it weren't for Xiao Yin, the outcome would be unpredictable.

In short, Xiao Yin is usually unreliable, but unexpectedly reliable at critical moments.

As the saying goes, a man cannot stand without trust.

Zhang Yuelu does not intend to break her promise. Since she has promised, she intends to fulfill her promise regardless of whether Xiao Yin is okay or not. If she does not keep her promise, she will lose the trust of her children.

After dressing up, the two of them will start a one-day tour of Lion City.

As Qi Xuansu launched a counterattack, this was probably the last leisure time.

Zhang Yuelu led Xiao Yin out of Tianfu Palace through the side door. A carriage was waiting outside. Lin Yuanmiao, who had recovered from his injuries, was the driver. If Qi Xuansu was here, he would find that the black horse pulling the carriage looked familiar. It was the "Bu Yue" he gave to Xiao Yin. It was originally just a bad horse, skinny, weak and sickly, and it seemed that there was not much life left. But now it is considered to be a success, with bloodshot eyes, black and shiny fur, strong and powerful, and a layer of light mist around it.

Xiao Yin proposed to ride a big horse in Lion City. Zhang Yuelu couldn't refuse, and was afraid that she would make trouble, so she took a compromise plan and took a carriage.

"Get in the car, great hero." Zhang Yuelu said with a smile.

Xiao Yin cheered and climbed onto the shaft first, and Zhang Yuelu followed behind.

The carriage drove slowly.

Xiao Yin lay on the window to look at the street scene.

Zhang Yuelu leaned against the wall of the carriage and talked to Lin Yuanmiao, who was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, through the curtain: "Old Lin, how is your injury recovering?"

Lin Yuanmiao looked forward: "Probably the strength of a god of creation."

Zhang Yuelu thought for a while and said: "If I give you a page of the 'Xirui Sutra', can you recover to the strength of a pseudo-immortal in a short time?"

Lin Yuanmiao was silent for a while and nodded: "Yes."

Zhang Yuelu sighed: "This kind of thing can play a greater role in your hands than in ours."

"But I need an external object to stabilize my mind." Lin Yuanmiao continued, "I'm afraid that after using the 'Xirui Sutra', I can't tell whether I am Lin Yuanmiao or Lin Lingsu, the national teacher of the Great Jin Dynasty."

Zhang Yuelu agreed without hesitation: "No problem, I can lend you the 'Six-Character Light Mantra Sword' temporarily. Or let Tianyuan lend you his 'Pure Bodhi' temporarily."

For Zhang Yuelu, without the cultivation level in the creation stage, it would still be a little difficult to control three semi-immortal objects at the same time, and he would not be able to take advantage of the three semi-immortal objects.

Lin Yuanmiao asked: "Has the situation reached this point?"

Lin Yuanmiao was not idle during the period of recuperation. He had a detailed understanding of the current situation in Borneo, including the various fighting methods between Qi Xuansu and Wang Jiaohe, etc. After all, he was not Xiao Yin. He had Lin Ling, the master of the Jin Dynasty. Part of Su's memory made Lin Yuanmiao very sensitive to power struggles. After all, Lin Lingsu's overwhelming power over Buddhism was indispensable for his tactics.

In Lin Lingsu's view, things had to be done one by one. The top priority was to concentrate on getting rid of Chen Shuhua, and then solve the problem of Wang Jiaohe.

Zhang Yuelu said softly: "We must be prepared on both sides. It would be best if we could solve them one by one, but they may not go according to our ideas. As the saying goes, you fight yours and I will fight mine. If Jiang Dazhen mobilized If I use all my strength to solve Chen Shuhua's problem, will Wang Jiaohe watch helplessly? I don't think so. Without the restraint of Master Jiang Da, this is his last chance. If I were Wang Jiaohe, I did something when Master Jiang Dazhen was surrounding Chen Shuhua. At that time, we couldn't count on Master Jiang Dazhen. After all, for Master Jiang Dazhen, letting Wang Jiaohe escape was nothing. If Chen Shuhua runs away, the consequences will be unbearable, so Chen Shuhua must be given priority."

Lin Yuanmiao nodded slightly and agreed with Zhang Yuelu's statement.

Zhang Yuelu said apologetically: "You are still injured, so I wouldn't have allowed you to take action by force, but we are really short on manpower."

Lin Yuanmiao said softly: "It's okay."

At this moment, Xiao Yin shouted: "Old Lin, stop the car quickly."

Lin Yuanmiao pulled the reins and the carriage stopped.

For Qi Xuansu, good news has come one after another these days.

In addition to Wu Mairong and several principals being arrested, there is also news coming from Dongpo Suazhou.

Lin Tianhe was arrested.

This is also reasonable. The East Posu Province Taoist Palace dispatched a second deputy palace master, the Borneo Daofu Palace dispatched a second deputy palace master, and the Yujing side dispatched a deputy hall master. Lin was still unable to be caught. Tianhe, that’s too unreasonable.

It is said that Lin Tianhe was identified when he was trying to cross the border of East Posu Continent and enter West Posu Continent. He tried to escape, but was later captured by a first-level spiritual officer who came after hearing the news.

Now Xu Jiaorong and Yao Pei have completed the relevant handover procedures and are preparing to escort Lin Tianhe back to Borneo from East Borneo.

This is undoubtedly good news. Among the three key figures of Nanyang United Trading Company, Sun Jiaofeng is dead, and Wang Jiaoyan still has not spoken. The remaining Lin Tianhe is the biggest breakthrough. I believe Lin Tianhe will not die for the Wang family. If he endures it to the end, he will most likely choose to sell the Wang family to save his own life.

It's like a dam. As long as there is a gap, it will be a matter of time before the entire dam collapses. In other words, after Lin Tianhe confesses, those principals, as well as Wang Jiaoyan, Lin Qingcheng, Wu Meirong and others, will all fall one by one.

In Qi Xuansu's view, after Wang Jiaohe's attempt to make a fuss about the secret association failed, there was no possibility of a comeback. What he needed to do now was not to press forward step by step, but to prevent Wang Jiaohe from jumping over the wall. Whether it was directly killing Qi Xuansu or fleeing to the West.

In a blink of an eye, the Hungry Ghost Festival celebration has arrived.

Qi Xuansu had to focus part of his energy on this. Blessings from heavenly officials are mainly aimed at living people and praying for the living people. The pardon of sins by local officials is aimed at the dead, to save the souls of the dead.

This celebration was coordinated and arranged by Qi Xuansu, but it was presided over by the leader Dazhenren personally. On July 15th, no matter how fierce the internal struggle was, Jiang Dazhen, Wang Jiaohe, and Qi Xuansu still attended the celebration together, maintaining the appearance of peace. of peace.

However, some people noticed that many familiar faces were missing. Considering the recent changes, anyone could smell the tension hidden behind the celebration.

This celebration is like the last calm before the storm.

Taking advantage of the celebration, Zhang Yuelu brought Xiao Yin and Lin Yuanmiao to Shenglong Mansion.

Chen Jianqiu and Star Master Yuheng still stay in Lion City.

The Protector-General, who had disappeared for a long time, finally finished his audience and returned to the Lion City from the Imperial Capital. He was in charge of the Lion City personally and was not afraid of causing any trouble. Moreover, Li Zhuyu, Xie Jiaofeng, Shangguan Ya and others also stayed in Lion City.

There is news that as the Fenglinzhou war is coming to an end, His Majesty the Emperor intends to re-establish the Siting Protectorate's Palace, that is, to supplement the East Courtyard Protector's Palace, and change the Xizhou Protectorate's Palace to the West Courtyard Protectorate's Palace, and to impose special orders on the four The Protector-General changed positions, which is why the Protector-General of Nanting stayed in the Imperial Capital for such a long time.
