Chapter 102 "Old Friend"

The county lady mentioned by Qin Wubing was not someone else, but Qin Xiang who was saved by Qi Xuansu. It was also because of this connection that Qi Xuansu was able to get the black-clothed man's waist badge from Qin Wubing.

Qin Xiang naturally knew Qi Xuansu's other identity, which forced Qi Xuansu to change his plan temporarily.

Qi Xuansu glanced at Zhang Yuelu again. When it came to other women, he still had to respect Zhang Yuelu's opinion, even if he had nothing to hide.

Zhang Yuelu smiled slightly: "General Qin, don't you mind if I go with you?"

Qin Wubing smiled and said: "Of course not, the county lady has heard of Master Zhang's name a long time ago, and she will definitely be very happy."

However, Qin Wubing did not invite Pan Cuiqing, because their friendship was not that good, and Pan Cuiqing would not go with him shamelessly, but he always felt that he was suppressed by Qi Xuansu.

This wild Taoist priest!

Pan Cuiqing cursed in his heart and watched Qi Xuansu, Zhang Yuelu and Qin Wubing leave together.

The others have begun to explore who this General Qin is.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess. The current Daxuan court does not have a general position, only a general officer. "General" is actually a respectful title similar to "Ministry of State" and "Central Minister". The military officer who can be honored as a general must at least be a garrison general officer, which is not a large range. His surname is Qin, and he is so young, his identity is obvious - Qin Wubing, deputy governor of the Western Regions Protectorate and general officer guarding Loulan.

Because the Daxuan court does not blindly suppress military officers, as a military officer, he can also be appointed as a prime minister, so Qin Wubing is definitely a future cabinet elder.

Although this is vulgar, we have to admit that Lao Qi has his own extraordinary qualities to be able to know and associate with a future cabinet elder.

It is impossible that both Zhang Yuelu and Qin Wubing have made a mistake.

On the contrary, it is more likely that they have made a mistake.

Mo Qingdi whispered to Shi Yu beside him: "Old Qi is a very capable person."

Shi Yu also whispered: "I have said it long ago, who is Deputy Hall Master Zhang? He has seen the great figures such as the Heavenly Master and the Earth Master, and is a disciple of the True Man Cihang. He even punched the son of the Li family. He talks and laughs with the True Man, and has no ordinary people. He has seen all the world. How could she have misjudged him?"

Mo Qingdi nodded: "You are still right."

Shi Yu said again: "This is good. When Old Qi becomes successful, we can also get some of the credit. It doesn't need to be too much. He is from Ziwei Hall, which is the place that manages personnel assessments. Who dares not give face to Ziwei Hall? We don't ask for promotion or wealth, but it's not too much to ask him to say hello to Qingping Bookstore?"

Mo Qingdi looked embarrassed.

Shi Yu scolded, "You are too rigid, and you have learned the pedantry of those Confucian scholars. Others do the same thing. If you have connections, you should find connections. If you have connections, you should use them. Why should we stay out of the mud and not be stained?"

Mo Qingdi sighed and looked worried.

On the other side, Qin Wubing, Qi Xuansu, and Zhang Yuelu walked through a long corridor and came to a quiet place.

Compared to the flower hall, this place is slightly smaller and cannot accommodate too many guests. It seems to be just a private banquet.

Qin Wubing raised his hand to signal several followers to guard outside the door, and then pushed the door open and entered.

There was only one table inside, and in addition to Qin Xiang, there was a man and a woman.

Qin Wubing smiled and said, "County Lord, look who's here."

Qin Xiang then saw Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, and couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

"Qi Xuansu greets the county lord." Qi Xuansu spoke first, and at the same time blinked at Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang was not stupid. He was stunned for a moment, then understood: "Qi..."

"I was ordered to investigate the case secretly, so I had to hide my identity. I hope the county lady will forgive me." Qi Xuansu explained, "My real name is Qi Xuansu, and I am currently the fifth-rank Taoist priest in Ziwei Hall."

Qin Xiang suddenly realized: "So it's Qi Shishi. I heard that the Taoist sect is not like the imperial court. In the imperial court, people are farmers in the morning and become emperors in the evening. It is not uncommon to see second-rank officials in their twenties. However, the Taoist sect has a suspension system, and few people can become second-rank Taiyi Taoist priests at the age of thirty. Li Changge and Yao Pei, who are the pride of heaven, are only fifth-rank Taoist priests."

As he said, Qin Xiang looked at Zhang Yuelu next to Qi Xuansu and asked curiously: "Who is this girl..."

Qi Xuansu glanced at Zhang Yuelu, but found that she was staring at the man and woman.

Qi Xuansu also looked over and was startled.

He recognized the woman.

It was Xie Qiuniang who had fought with Zhang Yuelu at the Yulan Temple.

At that time, Zhang Yuelu had not yet entered the realm of heavenly beings. Xie Qiuniang fought Zhang Yuelu, who had fought several rounds in a row, with her "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin" in one hand, but the result was inconclusive.

No matter what, Qi Xuansu was still a member of the Qingping Society, so he gently pulled Zhang Yuelu's sleeve.

Zhang Yuelu retracted her gaze and smiled apologetically at Qin Xiang: "Zhang Yuelu."

Qin Xiang covered her mouth with her hand in surprise: "Is it the youngest deputy hall master?"

"It's me." Zhang Yuelu was a little helpless. She didn't often participate in such social activities. She participated occasionally. Most of the people in Yujing were senior figures, and they would not make a fuss when they saw her. Most of them praised her. But this time, she came to participate in the class reunion with Qi Xuansu. Most of them were people of the same generation, not children of aristocratic families like Li Tianzhen. They looked at her as if she were a legendary figure, which made her very uncomfortable.

Qi Xuansu was about to continue to exchange a few words, but suddenly felt a gaze on him, and he turned his head to look.

She saw Xie Qiuniang looking straight at him.

Qi Xuansu certainly didn't know. Xie Qiuniang and others analyzed afterwards and believed that it was Qi Xuansu who took the "Xuan Yu". They had been looking for Qi Xuansu, but to no avail. They never expected to see Qi Xuansu under such circumstances.

But Xie Qiuniang couldn't do anything at this time. Not to mention that Zhang Yuelu was right next to her. A fifth-rank Taoist priest under the age of 30 must be a young talent who has entered the vision of the Taoist high-level officials. It's not easy to move casually. No matter what, the Taoists are soldiers and the secret societies are thieves.

In fact, Qi Xuansu was not afraid. He already knew Qi Niang's identity. At most, he would let Qi Niang mediate. Master Yao always had this face.

Zhang Yuelu and Qin Xiang exchanged greetings for a while. It was probably that Qin Xiang asked questions curiously and Zhang Yuelu answered patiently.

Then, Zhang Yuelu looked at Xie Qiuniang: "I haven't asked yet, this girl is..."

Qin Xiang took the initiative to introduce: "This is Miss Xie from the Confucian School."

Zhang Yuelu was not surprised. When they fought in Yulan Temple, Zhang Yuelu recognized Xie Qiuniang's identity as a Confucianist. This time undoubtedly confirmed her guess.

"Miss Xie, it's been half a year since we parted in Yishan City. How are you recently?" Zhang Yuelu said.

Xie Qiuniang could not recognize him, so she pretended to be surprised and said, "Why did Master Zhang say that? This is the first time I met Master Zhang. We have never met before. Could Master Zhang have recognized the wrong person?"

She was a Confucian. Since the Buddhist and Taoist sects turned against each other, the status of Confucianism has been greatly improved. Taoism mainly appeases Confucianism. If there is a conflict between Taoist disciples and Confucian disciples, Taoism will not favor its own people, but will favor Confucian disciples. Many Taoist disciples are quite resentful about this, and some people often say in private that they wish they were not Confucian disciples.

Even if Zhang Yuelu is the deputy head of Tiangang Hall, as long as there is no real evidence, he can't do anything to her.

Zhang Yuelu smiled: "Probably."

At this time, Qi Xuansu looked at the man next to Xie Qiuniang.
