Chapter 32 Li Qingnu's Visit

Qi Xuansu suddenly handed the "Chu Zhen Sutra" in his hand to Ke Qingqing: "Deacon Ke, Deputy Hall Zhang wants to talk to you."

Zhang Yuelu had known about Ke Qingqing's existence for a long time because Qi Xuansu kept everything secret from her. This had nothing to do with strict management, but with honesty.

Ke Qingqing was simply flattered when he heard this.

That's Zhang Yuelu.

No matter how powerful his immediate boss is, he will always be criticized behind his back for being a freeloader. Although I haven't heard of any henpecked rumors, at most he is a softie. Who allowed his superior to be the subordinate of Deputy Hall Master Zhang? Most of the time, there are male bosses and female subordinates, but this female boss and male subordinates are rare.

Ke Qingqing carefully took the "Chu Zhen Sutra Barrel". She didn't know what Zhang Yuelu said over there. She was like a child in the Wanxiang Dao Palace, nodding her head in agreement.

Gao Mingyin looked at the scene in front of him and was filled with emotions.

Many rumors are false and true. You cannot disbelieve them or believe them all. It is said that Master Qi has a strong backing, so there is no guarantee that he is not just trying to spread suspicion, and is pretending to be powerful. There are too many Taoist priests in Ziweitang, but not all of them have Donghua Zhenren as their backer. A few years ago, some young people from low-income families pretended to be Mr. Ge and went to local officials to defraud, and they succeeded.

Therefore, there were rumors outside that Master Qi had a close relationship with Zhang Gaogong. He didn't believe it at first and thought it was just rumors. But when he saw them today, he knew it was true.

Since it is true, then Shi Bingyun is Qi Xuansu's elder, which can explain why Shi Bingyun delegated power to Qi Xuansu.

This is also the reason why those local officials were deceived. They would rather believe what they have than what they don’t have. What is fake is nothing more than a loss of money. If it is true, wouldn’t it mean that you can’t live without it? Even if many shrewd and capable officials saw something was wrong, they would not dare to arrest them rashly. Instead, they would dare to do so only after several confirmations. But the elders are all figures in the sky, how can it be so easy to confirm? After many twists and turns, they were finally confirmed, and the group of people had already eaten, drank, and fled.

Gao Mingyin couldn't tell whether it was regret or what kind of mood he was in. He finally sighed.

Qi Xuansu was observing Ke Qingqing. He had already discovered that Zhang Yuelu seemed to be particularly prestigious among women. Many people became excited after seeing her. This was the case for Qin Xiang, who was only half a member of the Taoist sect. Ke Qingqing also Such a reaction also confirmed Qi Xuansu's guess.

He really is the legendary Zhang Yuelu.

Qi Xuansu made a note of this in his mind, and the next time the two of them joked and joked with each other, he would bring it up and see how Zhang Yuelu reacted.

Soon, Zhang Yuelu and Ke Qingqing finished explaining themselves and ended the conversation on their own initiative.

Qi Xuansu put away the "Chu Zhen Sutra" and asked casually: "What did Deputy Hall Master Zhang say?"

Ke Qingqing, who was still immersed in the afterglow of excitement, hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but Deputy Hall Master Zhang didn't let me tell you."

Qi Xuansu didn't care either. He didn't think Zhang Yuelu would plant an informant around him - even if he did, there was no reason to do it face to face.

Soon, the group returned to the Jade Palace. Qi Xuansu asked the spiritual officer to take the person to the underworld and interrogate him slowly without using torture.

Qi Xuansu returned to the custody room, changed into an ordinary Taoist robe, and prepared to interrogate Gao Mingyin in person tomorrow. However, Ke Qingqing came again to report that a guest had arrived, and her expression was quite strange.

Qi Xuansu is adjusting the collar of the Taoist robe in front of the standing mirror. Compared with the crane cloak, the Taoist robe is more comfortable and naturally more suitable for daily wear, but it is quite inconvenient to wear. Usually, another person is required to help. Unfortunately, only Ke is the one at this time. Qingqing and Qi Xuansu decided to take matters into their own hands.

Qi Xuansu asked casually: "Who?"

Ke Qingqing said softly: "The surname is Li."

"People from Taiping Dao? It can't be said that the Li family and I are incompatible with each other. It's not that I deliberately made things difficult for the Li family. You should know that Li Tianzhen, the elder of the Li family, because of the matter of Deputy Hall Master Zhang , has always been resentful towards me, and will definitely put me to death if given the chance." Qi Xuansu started to adjust his sleeves again.

He Qingqing laughed dryly. Of course she knew that Li Tianzhen's pursuit of Deputy Hall Master Zhang failed and he was kicked out of the Imperial Palace by Deputy Hall Master Zhang. Chief Qi did what he failed to do. Doesn't this mean that he is not as good as Chief Qi? Even a man can't swallow this breath, let alone the arrogant Li family (this chapter is not finished yet!)

Chapter 32 Li Qingnu’s visit

Your Lord, so Chief Qi is not judging a gentleman with a villain's heart, but speaking the truth.

After Qi Xuansu made sure that he was dressed properly, he turned around.

This is a good habit developed in the upper palace. The five-generation masters have almost strict requirements for clothing. They are very disdainful of disheveled clothes, strange clothes and other behaviors. They require neatness and meticulousness. In formal occasions, there should be no clothes on the crane cloak. There should be no wrinkles, no crooked crown, and no dirt on the soles of the shoes.

Qi Xuansu had developed this habit in the Wanxiang Dao Palace since he was a child, but he didn't pay much attention to it after hanging out in the world for a long time. This time he went to the Shang Palace to study for three months, and he was corrected again and gave up his old habits. Picked it up.

Ke Qingqing joked: "Master, you are so neatly dressed, did you already know that guests were coming?"

Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "When you reach the fourth rank and go to the upper palace of Wanxiang Taoist Palace for further training, you will know that you can wear old clothes, but they must be clean and tidy, otherwise you will not be able to complete your career."

Ke Qingqing just laughed. She is still far away from the fourth level, and she doesn't dare to compare with her superiors.

Qi Xuansu then asked: "Who is visiting?"

Ke Qingqing lowered her voice: "It's the famous Li Qingnu!"

Qi Xuansu was not surprised, because Qi Niang had told him a long time ago that he should meet with Li Qingnu and talk it over, but he was busy with the case and had no time to take care of these things for the time being. Li Qingnu did not come to visit him either. I think he has not returned to the capital yet and is still staying in Bohai Prefecture. He came to visit him today, so he should have just returned to the capital.

Qi Xuansu immediately understood the strange expression on Ke Qingqing's face. First, Li Qingnu sent him something, and now he came to visit him in person. One is a Taoist genius and a powerful person, and the other is the Li family who is famous in the capital. Since ancient times, swords have been given to warriors. It is hard not to think of something.

Qi Xuansu suddenly said: "Are you going to tip off Deputy Hall Master Zhang?"

Ke Qingqing was surprised, her eyes were erratic, and it was obvious that Qi Xuansu had hit the nail on the head. She did have such an idea, but it was just an idea.

Qi Xuansu didn't bother with her: "A gentleman is open and honest. I'm not afraid of anything. But you have to be careful. I guess Deputy Hall Master Zhang didn't instruct you to spy on me. If you go to tip him off, Deputy Hall Master Zhang may not appreciate it. If you flatter him, your Deputy Hall Master Zhang will not be as easy to talk to as me."

Ke Qingqing forced a smile and said, "Master, you are too serious. How dare you."

Qi Xuansu said, "I dare not. Please invite the guests in."

Ke Qingqing turned around and went out.

Qi Xuansu took a hairpin and inserted it on his bun, saying to himself, "Little girl, your bowl of water is still very shallow."

However, Qi Xuansu turned around and thought that his bowl of water was not that deep. He was still played around by Qi Niang. Qi Niang probably looked at him the same way as he looked at Ke Qingqing, and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Qi Xuansu came to the reception room and sat for a while before he saw Ke Qingqing leading someone in.

Seeing this person, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but secretly say "good guy".

She was wearing a thick cape, a hood on her head, and her face was covered in the shadow of the hood. She looked like a cultist in a Western picture album. That would be fine, but she also wore a veil and sunglasses on her face, which made her look neither Eastern nor Western.

Qi Xuansu stood up and said, "Are you afraid of being seen in this outfit?"

The person took off her hood, sunglasses, and veil, revealing her true face. It was Li Qingnu.

"This is the Imperial Capital Dao Mansion. I'd better keep a low profile." Li Qingnu said lightly, "I'm not a Taoist. Although I have some connections with Taoism, I can only be considered half a Taoist at most."

Qi Xuansu said, "So you chose the time of night on purpose?"

Li Qingnu didn't say anything, which was considered as tacit agreement.

Qi Xuansu sighed and said nothing more. He motioned Li Qingnu to sit down, then tore open a talisman and set a ban to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

Li Qingnu said: "I just arrived in the capital and heard about your name. It was said that Gao Yanei was executed and Qi Qingtian was famous in the north city."

Qi Xuansu pulled the corner of his mouth: "This sounds like the tone of the Li family, without any dirty words, and it is weird."

Li Qingnu smiled and said: "You are right, this is what Li Tianzhen, the eldest uncle of the Li family said."

(This chapter is not yet finished!)

Chapter 32 Li Qingnu's visit

Qi Xuansu said "Oh": "I didn't expect that my little deeds would alarm such a noble man. I really deserve to die."

"Your words also have a taste of the Li family. If you don't know, you would think you are the adopted son of the Li family who was lost outside." Li Qingnu immediately joked.

Qi Xuansu coughed lightly: "Let's talk about business. Qi Niang should have talked to you, right?"

Li Qingnu said angrily: "How dare I disobey her order? Qi Niang said a word, and I rushed back to the capital from Bohai Prefecture. To be honest, it is more comfortable to live in Bohai Prefecture. The capital is too restrictive."

Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered something: "That little girl..."

Li Qingnu knew that Qi Xuansu was talking about Liu Hu.

"Don't worry." Li Qingnu said, "I personally led people to send her to Liaodong. Fortunately, there was no accident on the way. As for you, I haven't had time to congratulate you. You have been promoted to the fourth-rank Taoist priest. You have a bright future."

Qi Xuansu said: "Thank you."

The two of them talked less awkwardly and politely at this time, and it was quite like a conversation between friends. After all, they will work together in the future. And seeing Qi Niang's attitude towards Li Qingnu, it is different from others. She calls her Qingnu all the time, which probably means that she treats her as a half-daughter. I don't know if the two are siblings or brothers and sisters.

Qi Xuansu asked, "Did Qi Niang tell you what exactly happened?"

Li Qingnu blinked and asked, "Did Qi Niang tell you?"

Qi Xuansu was speechless. The mother and son were not always so frank with each other because of the Taiping money.

Li Qingnu observed Qi Xuansu's expression and immediately understood his embarrassment. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "I know. Qi Niang wants to deduct your Taiping money again. Well, I'll be a good person and tell you. Qi Niang got the news that Taiping Dao and Xuanhuiyuan are planning a big event recently, and our Qingping Society wants to ruin this big event."
