Chapter 39: Assembly

"Tianxianzi" replied: "I will continue to pay attention to Xuanhuiyuan."

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. From the tone of this "Tianxianzi", being able to monitor Xuanhuiyuan means that he or she can freely enter and leave the palace, and is quite powerful. If it were Qi Xuansu himself, he wouldn't even know where Xuanhuiyuan is. Even if he knew where Xuanhuiyuan is, he couldn't enter the palace, let alone monitor it.

Could it be that this "Tianxianzi" is a member of the royal family?

Qiniang is indeed very well-connected, and can even bring in such a person.

However, there is another possibility that this "Tianxianzi" was also cultivated by Qiniang. At first, he was just a marginal figure who was not valued. After receiving Qiniang's secret help, he gradually became a powerful figure in the royal family.

Take Qi Xuansu for example. If he had reached his current position by his own ability before knowing Qi Niang, then when Qi Niang asked him to join the Qingping Society again, he would definitely refuse without thinking. He had a bright future, but he was crazy to join a secret society. He would report it. Unfortunately, Qi Xuansu didn't have this ability. He could reach his current position thanks to Qi Niang's cultivation, so he had to listen to Qi Niang.

For "Tianxianzi", this principle is also universal.

Qi Niang nodded slightly and said, "For this news, I can give you 500 merits."

Qi Xuansu's eyelids jumped.

Although he said that he didn't care how many merits he had, he still remembered clearly that he only had 600 merits now. Originally, if he took the "Xuanyu of Death", he could get 1,000 merits, which was equivalent to the merits of the past few years. However, because the "Xuanyu of Death" fell into his own hands in the end, it could not be counted as merits. There was also escorting Liu Hu to Liaodong, which seemed to have not been calculated for merits, but Qi Niang and Pei Xiaolou made some efforts to allow Qi Xuansu not only to return to the Taoist sect, but also to successfully enter the Ziwei Hall, which was something that no amount of merits could replace.

"Tianxianzi" thanked Qi Niang reservedly.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh that it was easy to earn merits when his status was high, and any piece of news was worth his hard work in the wind and rain for several years.

Qi Niang looked at the others again.

Another figure using the tune name "Zui Chui Bian" said, "Recently, the men in black and the Qingluan Guard have been frequently transferred. Everyone should know that the Qingluan Guard has seven thousand-household units directly under the command of the Imperial Guard Commandant's Office. The first thousand-household unit supervises all officials in Beijing, and the third thousand-household unit is responsible for supervising officials in the 19 states of the country. Now it is just a decoration and a formality. The fifth thousand-household unit is responsible for the imperial prison, the sixth thousand-household unit is responsible for guarding the imperial palace and the emperor's ceremonial guards, and the seventh thousand-household unit is responsible for various major cases, which have nothing to do with this matter. The key is that the second thousand-household unit is responsible for intelligence and has a close relationship with the men in black. The 4th Thousand Households responsible for the assassination have close ties with the "Inn". These two Thousand Households have been very active recently, both inside and outside the city. "

"In addition, the black-clothed people are mainly the Beijing Camp. More than 3,000 people set out to the Five Elements Mountain in the name of training. Although there are no heavy cavalry, they carry a large number of heavy firearms. The key is that the Ministry of War is not aware of this. I can't say whether the cabinet is aware of it, but I can be sure that this is a secret operation. "

After three months of further study in the Upper Palace, Qi Xuansu is already very familiar with the various government offices and civil and military official systems of Daxuan.

The so-called Beijing Camp is the imperial guards that guard the imperial capital, inheriting the old system of the Wei Dynasty.

During the Wei Dynasty, the Beijing Camp was divided into three major camps, namely the Five Army Camp, the Three Thousand Camp and the Shenji Camp.

The Five Army Camp is divided into the Central Army, the Left and Right Wings and the Left and Right Patrols, with the largest number of people. The Three Thousand Camp is composed of 3,000 heavy cavalry, which is not inferior to the heavy cavalry in the border army. The Shenji Camp is mainly equipped with firearms.

After Daxuan replaced Dawei, it abolished the guard system, reformed the Beijing camp, and merged the five military camps and three thousand camps into the Shenshu camp, also known as the Shenshu imperial guards. The old three camps, Sishaoye and other names and the internal officials were all abolished, and a general was appointed as the commander, called the commander-in-chief of the military affairs of the Beijing camp, and his deputy was called the assistant commander-in-chief of the military affairs of the Beijing camp. Under him were assistant commanders, lieutenants, guerrillas, and garrisons.

The Shenji camp was listed separately, with a general commander holding a seal and two ordinary commanders. Although it was a military position, it was separated from the battle sequence of the black-clothed men and became a similar existence to the Tianji Hall, specializing in the research and manufacture of various military equipment, focusing on firearms. In terms of the level of firearms, it was not inferior to the Tianji Hall, and the two sides also had a lot of cooperation.

In the early days of Qin Wubing's army, Qi Xuansu had dealt with the Shenji camp and bought a pair of double swords.

At this time, the Beijing camp mentioned by "Zui Chuibian" was actually the famous Shenshu imperial guards. However, the black-clothed people thought that this name was too ostentatious and a bit frivolous, so they still preferred to use the old name "Jingying".

From the point of view of calling the Shenshu Imperial Guards "Jingying", this "Zui Chui Bian" may be from the black-clothed people, and his position is not low, at least he is a middle-level person. Even if he is not as good as Qin Wubing, he should not be underestimated.

Qi Niang thought about it and said, "I will give you 400 merits."

"Zui Chui Bian" had no objection.

Qi Xuansu once again lamented the "depreciation" of merits. However, he also understood one thing. If it was the old him, even if he died ten times, he might not be able to find out this information.

The name of the third speaker's ci tune is "Xi Hongyi", which has a taste of love.

This is not Qi Xuansu's nonsense. He found that everyone's ci tune name is very suitable for some of their own characteristics.

For example, Qi Xuansu's "Jincuodao" means knife coin, that is, money. Qi Xuansu always worries about Taiping money and often competes with Qi Niang for Taiping money. Although "Jincuodao" is not a knife, knife coin and knife are still somewhat related, and Qi Xuansu's weapon is also a knife.

In addition, Li Qingnu's "Dianjiangchun" is a picture of a woman applying lip rouge in front of a mirror, which is easy to associate with married women or courtesans who need to show their faces. After all, rouge and powder are also expensive. If not necessary, many women still go home with plain faces.

There is also Qi Niang's "Qiniangzi", which is even simpler. Qi Niang is a woman, so it is "Niangzi". Qi Niang is the seventh, so it is "Qiniangzi", which is perfect.

By analogy, the names of the other people's ci tunes are mostly related to their real identities and experiences.

So in Qi Xuansu's view, "Xi Hongyi" has the flavor of a romantic, and it is a man. Because men basically don't wear red clothes except for the official robes of the previous dynasty or when they get married. Red clothes and red makeup are almost exclusive to women. Even for women, not everyone can wear red clothes. Young girls mainly wear green, and old women with children and grandchildren mainly wear yellow. Only married couples can wear red clothes. Widows and concubines cannot wear them.

"Red clothes" means married women.

If it is your own wife, it's fine. You can cherish her as much as you want. If it is someone else's wife, you still "cherish red clothes", which is really quite the legacy of Wei Wu. And there are two situations for other people's wives. One is to see that your beloved has married someone else, but you still can't forget her and can't let go. You are willing to do anything for her. In one word, "cheap". The other is to see that someone else's wife is beautiful and want to poach her to have a romantic past. In one word, "bad".

Qi Xuansu hopes it is the first situation, a loving couple.

"Cherish red clothes" said: "My news has nothing to do with the court, it is about the Purple Light Society."

Qi Xuansu secretly said good guy.

As we all know, the Purple Light Society doesn't have much else but a lot of women. From the top ancient immortal to the bottom, it's because of blood. You can get in touch with the Purple Light Society and get information from it. If you're not a romantic, what else can you be?

Qi Niang was not surprised and commented: "As expected, the Purple Light Society is also involved. I knew that the Lingshan Wu Cult was stirring up trouble in Cowinbu, and the Zhiming Cult was taking advantage of the fire in Jinling Mansion. The Purple Light Society had to show up this time, otherwise how could it be called the three major evil cults."

"Xi Hongyi" continued: "Qiniang's divine calculation. In the battle of Cowinbu, the ancient immortal Wu Luo descended to the world. In the battle of Jinling Mansion, the ancient immortal Siming Zhenjun also descended to the world. Although they didn't descend in real body, their power was also very terrible. The news I found out is that someone in the Purple Light Society is seeking to let the Purple Light Zhenjun descend to the world. It is said that the way the Purple Light Zhenjun descends is different from that of Wu Luo and Siming Zhenjun."

Qi Xuansu also discovered that the ancient immortals' descent is indeed different. For example, Wu Luo did not use "Xuan Yu" and appeared directly, similar to projection. Siming Zhenjun used a piece of "Xuanyu" and a lot of preparation, similar to a clone. Of course, the two have different purposes. Wu Luo just wants to destroy "Yinglong", while Siming Zhenjun wants to swallow up the huge Jinling Mansion, so the power they need is naturally different.

From this point of view, Ziguang Zhenjun is neither a projection nor a clone, so what kind of a coming will it be?

"Xi Hongyi" did not keep it a secret: "She will come by taking over a body. She needs believers to prepare a suitable body as a container for her, which may be related to her fate, and she will come in this body and become a human. Compared with the coming of Wu Luo and Siming Zhenjun, this way of coming has less loss and is more hidden, and it is difficult to be discovered, but the disadvantage is that the power is also the smallest. After coming, it will take some time to recover the strength.".

Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered that the Lingshan Wujiao stronghold that he and Zhang Yuelu destroyed in Yishan City seemed to be seeking this kind of taking over a body, but before they succeeded, it was destroyed by him and Zhang Yuelu.

As someone who had criticized Siming Zhenjun in person, Qi Niang would not be frightened by the descent of the ancient immortals. She nodded and said, "Very good. I'll give you 600 merits."

Qi Xuansu was too lazy to sigh.

The remaining six people did not get any key information and did not speak.

Needless to say, Qi Xuansu, he was busy fighting with the local tyrants in the capital during this period of time, and did not pay attention to this matter at all, and could only listen.
