Chapter 124 Sun Zhongnu

The next day, Qi Xuansu came to the Morgan Brotherhood again to meet Sadie.

Sadie handed a thick brown paper bag to Qi Xuansu: "This is about the itinerary of Sun Zhongnu and the Gospel Department."

Qi Xuansu opened the paper bag, took out the information inside, and glanced at it.

This information is very detailed, a bit like a document. It not only gives a conclusion, but also various evidences for why this conclusion is reached. These evidences are even accompanied by corresponding pictures. If the customer does not agree with this conclusion, he can also judge for himself through this summarized information.

Otherwise, why do you say you get what you pay for? Such a large sum of money is spent, and the service is indeed good.

Qi Xuansu sighed, "I'm afraid the Gospel Department is not as good as you."

Sadi said, "There's no way. To use the words of the Orientals, the Gospel Department is on the public rations, and the income is guaranteed regardless of drought or flood, so naturally there is no need to work too hard. However, our Brotherhood is responsible for its own profits and losses. If we don't do a good job, we will have to starve, so of course we have to work hard. To put it in a higher level, the Gospel Department is responsible for the entire New World, including the South Continent, so it is inevitable that the power is dispersed, while our Brotherhood only needs to take care of the small piece of land in front of us, which is simpler."

Qi Xuansu smiled, "You speak a lot of Oriental words, you have dealt with Orientals a lot, right?"

Sadi smiled but said nothing.

Qi Xuansu didn't delve into it, put the information back into the cowhide bag, and decided to study it slowly after returning.

Sadie added, "By the way, this information is time-sensitive, because the Ministry of Gospel intends to transfer Sun Zhongnu to San Francisco on the west coast. I have also attached the approximate itinerary."

Shadi specifically emphasized the west coast, because there is a St. Francis Cathedral in St. York, and San Francisco on the west coast is a city. Because of the gold rush, it is also called "Gold Mountain", and it is also a place where Orientals live.

Qi Xuansu's face became solemn: "Why did the Ministry of Gospel transfer Sun Zhongnu to San Francisco?"

Shadi replied, "Your Excellency is asking knowingly. San Francisco has the largest group of Orientals. The Ministry of Gospel transferred Sun Zhongnu there to continue to identify pagans and then carry out a major purge."

"I know." Qi Xuansu said no more, got up and left.

After leaving the Brotherhood, Qi Xuansu read the information carefully.

He easily determined the location of the action, on the way from St. York to San Francisco.

St. York is on the east coast, and St. Francis is on the west coast. There is a whole continent between the two. Moreover, the northern continent has few people and a lot of land, with too many barren areas.

In fact, there are many such places in the Central Plains. Qi Xuansu was attacked for the first time in this situation. After passing the Kunlun Pass, it is the territory of the Kunlun Daofu, but outside the Kunlun Pass is a large wilderness, with no Taoist temples, no spiritual officials, and even no people, and then Wu Luo broke the flying boat.

Wu Luo can do it, and Qi Xuansu can do it too.

…

"Sun, when you solve the problem of San Francisco, I will ask the higher authorities to let you be the archbishop. Orientals can also bathe in the grace of the Supreme Will."

"I dare not ask for anything extravagantly. I have nothing to ask for as long as I can save my life and live the rest of my life in peace."….

"Are you worried about the revenge of the Orientals? No need to. We will guarantee your safety and the safety of your family."

Sun Zhongnu smiled: "There is an old saying in the East: When the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden. When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. I hope that the bows are hidden when the birds are gone, not when the rabbit dies and the dog is cooked."

Dennis looked directly at Sun Zhongnu: "Sun, are you doubting my friendship?"

Sun Zhongnu chuckled and shook his head: "Mr. Lopez, I have never doubted your friendship and sincerity, but there is another saying in the East. , which is called being unable to help oneself. You want to be a good person, but the people above you may not let you be a good person, but the infamy cannot be borne by the people above you, and in the end it can only be borne by the people below you. It is nothing more than making Sun Zhongnu suffer, and Dennis will bear the infamy, isn't it? "

Dennis's eyes softened: "Sun, you don't have to be so pessimistic, you will be a benchmark in the future. Isn't there an old saying in the East that 'a man who knows the current affairs is a hero'? We really need such heroes. Orientals have the allusions of 'standing a tree at the south gate' and 'spending a thousand gold to buy horse bones', and you are the 'standing tree' and 'horse bones'. "

With the deepening of exchanges between the East and the West, Orientals can know the allusion of the Western "headless queen", and Westerners can also know various allusions of Orientals. In this regard, no additional explanation is needed. These two examples are still very convincing.

Sun Zhongnu sighed softly and changed the subject: "I was born in Jinling Prefecture, which is one of the most prosperous places in the East. But my family didn't live well. My grandfather was seriously ill. My father was a filial son and was willing to spend all his money to treat my grandfather. As a result, my grandfather suffered from illness for about half a year and finally passed away. My father not only spent all his family property, but also owed a huge debt and had to travel across the ocean to the New World." "I grew up in the New World. I have lived in St. York since I can remember. For me, this is my hometown. But at that time, I didn't understand why I was different from others. They were hostile to me and thought I was a disaster. But I still like it here because I can realize my ideals here."

"I don't deny that I like Lao Qian very much. He is half my teacher. But he has one bad point. He is too self-righteous and always likes to act like an oriental patriarch. He is adamant and does not tolerate any opposition. He regards me as his disciple, and he also regards me as his vassal. He always forces me to do things I don't like in the name of doing good for me. But for his past kindness, I endured it, because there is an old saying in the East that a daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law after many years. As long as I can endure it, there will always be a day when I have the final say."

Dennis looked at Sun Zhongnu: "But you still betrayed him. Although I really want to abandon him, "Yes, betrayal." Sun Zhongnu smiled calmly, "Because he crossed my bottom line. People need to have thoughts, hopes, or hopes. The reason why I can endure it is because I still have hope. As long as there is hope, I can convince myself to give in. The most terrible thing is that there is no hope. Since there is no hope, there is no reason to endure and give in."...

"How did I lose hope? Because Lao Qian suddenly told me that he felt that there was something wrong with my thinking and wanted me to go to the Central Plains thousands of miles away to receive education and correct my thoughts. Does this mean that Everything in my past has been determined by him. He is an adult, and so am I. No one is a child. Why does he use his own ideas to deny my ideas? "

"What does Zhongyuan mean to me? It means the unknown, it means strangeness, it means starting over. Everything I worked hard for in the New World has gone down the drain. Why should I leave the place where I grew up and run to a completely unfamiliar so-called hometown? It's as ridiculous as abandoning the adoptive parents who have raised me with hard work for decades to recognize my biological parents whom I have never met. Why can't I stay in a richer, freer, and more open city, but go to a place that is more prosperous, freer, and more open? Return to the backward East and kowtow to the emperor of the East? "

Dennis reached out and patted Sun Zhongnu on the shoulder: "Sun, you are right. The Eastern despotism is like a huge cage. Only we in the West are the light of freedom. We are the light of the world. The city built on the mountain cannot be hidden. We will be like a city on the top of the mountain, admired by all. Therefore, if we deceive the Supreme Will in the undertakings we have already undertaken and make the Supreme Will accept bribes to grant us the blessing, we will become a laughing stock and a scandal in the world. "

Sun Zhongnu smiled and said: "St. York is the city on the top of the mountain."

…

In the early morning, the sun first shone on the floating island in the upper city.

An airship was docked at the port of the floating island, and not far away was an exquisite church.

The middle city belongs to the city council, and the upper city is the territory of the steam gospel.

Only priests and those recognized by priests can come here.

Sun Zhongnu, Dennis, and Milton walked out of the church and walked towards the airship.

There are already Templars lined up at the bottom of the airship.

Sun Zhongnu said, "Actually, I don't like riding in an airship, because the probability of an accident is too high. I heard that the Lotus Seat had encountered two air dangers. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Some people call us rats in the gutter. It's better to be down-to-earth. High and low are not suitable for us."

Dennis will also ride the airship together and said with a smile, "There is no way. The people above are very urgent. The time is tight and the task is heavy. The airship is much faster than the steam train. I can't care so much. And don't worry, this airship is reliable enough. It is maintained independently by the Ministry of Gospel on weekdays. We are all our own people on it. It is not comparable to the airship of Speaker Sofia."

Sun Zhongnu said nothing more.

Milton saw them off, and the group boarded the airship along the gangway lowered by the airship. In addition to Sun Zhongnu and Dennis, there were many other members of the Ministry of Gospel.

As for the matter of chasing the Lotus Seat, it has been handed over to other people in the Ministry of Gospel and is no longer their responsibility. After all, the Lotus Seat has left St. York. Considering the relative opposition between the states, the Ministry of Gospel also shares the pot.

This made Sun Zhongnu very regretful. If he could catch the lotus throne, he would be successful and famous. Unfortunately, such a credit was not his. In this regard, he envied the lotus throne. Ability was secondary. The key was that he could be entrusted with important tasks every time and get the credit he deserved every time. This was very rare.

However, being transferred to San Francisco was also a consolation of the Ministry of Gospel. It also meant a huge credit, but it was not as good as catching the lotus throne.

Sun Zhongnu wanted to use the blood of his fellow Easterners to pave his way to the Holy See.
