Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 393 Xu Zhiqiong's Official Position
Xu Zhiqiong didn't intend to alarm the Yamen in charge of the lamp, but Xiao Songting and Bi Wusheng both knew about Xu Zhiqiong's Taoism, so it would be bad for Lantern Lantern to know about it.

Secondly, Qiao Shungang and others have not yet returned to the team, and the main force in charge of the Yamen is still deciding whether to stay or not. The only person in the entire Yamen who can fight is Liu Dashun, a seventh-rank assassin. Qiong didn't want his brothers to die in vain.

But now I don't want to be alarmed, but fortunately, Qiao Shungang took a group of old brothers to work in the Yamen, and when he received the news from Chu He, he rushed to the house immediately.

Bai Wuchang and Bi Wusheng were seriously injured, and Xiao Songting didn't know what to do in the face of all the lantern bearers.

I can't beat it for sure.

He couldn't beat Xu Zhiqiong and Qiao Shungang alone, let alone under the siege of Lantern Lang.

Escape with the magic circle?

Twenty-four red lights hung above their heads, forming an iron wall, and ordinary magic circles could not escape at all.

Xiao Songting wanted to find a way out, but he couldn't figure out where it was. Life and death were only a moment away, and Xiao Songting's heart suddenly trembled.

Someone came to save him.

Qiao Shungang looked at Xiao Songting with a ferocious expression: "Old Xiao, wait for me to unscrew your arms and legs, or do you want to catch me without a fight?"

"Old Qiao, don't be so impatient. Let me say a few words. When I was in the yamen, both of us brothers were green lanterns. Now you have been promoted to the red lantern and become deputy thousand households. I also have a contribution here.
If I hadn't killed Yi Xulou to make room for you, you would be where you are today. "

"I set you up with eight generations of ancestors!" Qiao Shun just spat, "Is your mother speaking human language?"

"Whether it's human or not, you can think about it yourself. I, Xiao Songting, have not treated you badly, Old Qiao. Of course, you have made it to this day because of your own good luck.

I see that your Dao of Killing cultivation has reached the fifth rank. According to the rules of our Imperial City Division, you should also be a thousand households.

But you are still helpless, who let Xu Zhiqiong come to our yamen?The prince is taking care of them above, and the brothers below are responding. The Canglong Palace and Yinyang Division are all friends of the family.
It is said that even Princess Yuyao's quilt has been covered by others, so what do you compare with others?This is called hand-eye! "

Xu Zhiqiong sneered, I have never gotten into Liang Yuyao's bed.

Xiao Songting is in a panic, is it still useful to use this divorce plan at this time?

Works!

Qiao Shun just looked at Xiao Songting, his cheeks twitched, and he didn't speak for a while.

What's wrong with this?
Did Qiao Shungang really fall for it?

Can't!He has experienced so many wars, can these two words fool him?

Qu Jinshan, the guard of the old lamp, also saw that the situation was wrong, and said in a low voice: "Qiao Qianhu, kill this traitor quickly, don't listen to his nonsense anymore!"

Qiao Shun just turned around and shouted: "You follow me out, and you have to obey my orders. Of course I decide whether to kill or not!"

Xu Zhiqiong felt that the atmosphere was getting more and more wrong, and he raised his nose to smell it, and found that there was a faint fishy smell in the air.

Greed!

Someone was pouring greed into Qiao Shungang.

Is it Xiao Songting?
Does he still have the Taotie Dao cultivation base?
No, the fishy smell didn't come from him, it came from outside the wall.

There are Taotie masters outside the wall, and Xiao Songting's rescuers came.

Without further ado, Xu Zhiqiong pulled out the mandarin duck blade, and stepped forward to kill Xiao Songting, when Qiao Shun just shouted: "Wait! Zhiqiong, you don't need to do anything with this person, leave it to me.

You made great contributions during the Northern Expedition, and you also made great contributions during the Southern Expedition. The seat of a thousand households is reserved for you, so leave this little credit to me! "

Qiao Shungang lost control of his emotions, Meng Shizhen and Li Pu'an looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Xiao Songting looked at Qiao Shungang and said, "Brother, I'm done talking, I'll die at your hands, and I admit it, you can do it."

"Okay! For our friendship in the Yamen for many years, I will send you this last journey!"

Qiao Shun just pulled out the sapphire blade, looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Zhiqiong, don't meddle, if you do, don't blame me for turning against me!"

After finishing speaking, Qiao Shun just rushed towards Xiao Songting.

How could Xiao Songting be willing to die?
This obviously played a trick on Qiao Shun.

Xu Zhiqiong wanted to step forward to help, but was stunned by Qiao Shungang's murderous aura.

When Qiao Shun just arrived in front of Xiao Songting, he suddenly saw a large group of sharp knives rushing towards him.

Thousands of punishments!

Bi Wusheng, who was seriously injured, activated the eighth-level skill of the underworld!Moved the execution ground of Qiandao Prison to Qiao Shungang.

If this was in the underworld, Qiao Shungang would definitely die if he was hit by the technique of ten thousand punishments head-on.

But this is the world of the sun, and the power of the techniques of the underworld is limited.

Just as Qiao Shun raised his murderous intent, thousands of sharp knives stopped in front of him.

Qiao Shungang shook his murderous aura again, all the sharp knives fell to the ground and disappeared.

He wanted to kill Xiao Songting directly in one go, and then Bi Wusheng used the skill of ten thousand punishments to summon the billowing smoke from the flame prison.

Qiao Shun just wanted to use his murderous aura to disperse the thick smoke, but unexpectedly the murderous aura around him suddenly weakened, and Qiao Shun was enveloped by the thick smoke instead.

not good!

Someone was absorbing the qi that Qiao Shun had just released.

Qiao Shun just didn't believe in evil, and was still carrying it with murderous intent, Xu Zhiqiong rushed forward, grabbed Qiao Shun and rushed out of the thick smoke.

A figure appeared in the thick smoke, grabbed Xiao Songting and Bi Wusheng, flew into the air and disappeared.

A gluttonous cultivator who can fly, who is this person?

It is basically certain that this person is Sui Zhi.

Qiao Shungang said angrily: "Zhiqiong, why are you dragging me? These two people are in the bag, you don't want me to take credit for this!"

Everyone looked at Qiao Shungang together, Qiao Shungang also felt that he had lost his composure, and turned his face away without saying a word.

Seeing the figure disappearing in the night sky, Xu Zhiqiong didn't feel sorry, but rather relieved.

Just based on the cultivation of everyone present, and based on Qiao Shungang's state just now, if Sui Zhi really made a move, Lantern Lang would die a lot!

Sui Zhi didn't make a move, because he was afraid of attracting strong people in the capital.

Let him go.

Xiao Songting, Bi Wusheng, what exactly do you want from me?What is the use of Emperor Zhaoxing's criminal karma to you?
Don't worry, let's wait and see.

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Qiao Shungang first.

A group of lantern bearers were all looking at Qiao Shungang.

Qiao Shun just took Xu Zhiqiong to a place where no one was around, and said in a low voice: "Brother, I didn't know what happened when I said that kind of thing, none of those words were my original intention, so don't take it to heart .”

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Brother, you don't know, Xiao Songting is a member of the Nufu Sect. There are evil practitioners in the Nufu Sect, who specialize in disturbing people's minds. Just now you fell under the sorcery of Taotie."

"Gluttonous way?" Qiao Shun smacked his lips, "When I followed Wu Qianhu, I also encountered it once. At that time, Wu Qianhu chopped it off with a single knife, and I didn't think it was very capable."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled without saying a word.

That's because Chito didn't give him a chance to play.

Qiao Shungang thought about it again, and asked, "Is that man in white also a Taotie?"

"Maybe, I don't know much about Taotie Dao."

Xu Zhiqiong let out a sigh of relief, Qiao Shungang knew nothing about Ming Dao.

The well-organized Taoist sect is indeed more secretive.

According to Xu Zhiqiong's division, Mingdao and Judgmental Dao are the most tightly organized, and their cultivation is also linked to their positions in the Taoist sect, and there are special living places, especially Mingdao, where they live completely like ordinary people. In two worlds.

Followed by Canglong Domineering and Suzaku Shengdao, these two Taoisms are related to blood, and it is difficult for outsiders to penetrate.

Followed by the Yin-Yang School and the Mohist School, they established organizations such as the Yin-Yang Division and the Penance Workshop artificially.

The least organized ones are Daoism, Confucianism, and eunuchs. The advantage of these systems is that there are many practitioners, which is convenient for the Taoism to spread.

The disadvantage is that there are almost no secrets in the Taoist sect.

Seeing that Qiao Shungang still had a look of shame on his face, Xu Zhiqiong quickly changed the topic: "Thanks to the help of my brothers tonight, Zhiqiong was able to save this life."

"What are you talking about!" Qiao Shun just laughed and said, "We are all brothers who have died. As long as my old Qiao is alive, I will never let these bastards hurt you!"

This is the truth, brother Qiao's friendship has nothing to say.

But those words before, even though they were bewitched by Taotie Dao, were also true.

He was dissatisfied.

This matter needs to be handled properly.

The most important thing right now is to save people. Tao Huayuan may be in a coma because of her external body. What caused Brother Tong and Brother Han?
Someone had already invited the imperial physician to the palace, and Xu Zhiqiong asked someone to invite Li Shabai to Li Qi Tea House.

As a result, Li Shabai was not in the teahouse.

The crown prince brought the imperial physician himself, and before the imperial physician could see the clue, Tai Bu came.

Isn't this old thing crazy?

Looks like it's normal to talk.

"These three are members of my Onmyoji Division, so let me handle them."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "It's not that I can't trust you, it's you..."

Tai Bu smiled and said: "It's all over, it's over."

The prince blinked beside him: "It's really passed?"

Tai Bu saluted and said: "When Your Highness ascends the throne, I hope to return my Yin Yang Division's innocence."

"It's natural."

Tai Bu took the three of them away, although Xu Zhiqiong said he was worried, but there was no better choice, only Tai Bu was sure to cure the three of them.

The prince brought Xu Zhiqiong into the East Palace and discussed an important matter: "I have been looking for you for the past two days, but I don't know where you are. After I become emperor, there is something that is difficult to deal with. It is about you. official position,
According to my point of view, based on the meritorious service you have made, I want to appoint you as a first-rank grand master, but the cabinet finds all kinds of excuses and refuses to agree. I discussed with them for several days and let you be a junior master first. how do you feel? "

Xu Zhiqiong smiled: "Young Master, Cong Yipin?"

The prince whispered: "I know you are wronged, but I just succeeded to the throne, so I really can't beat the cabinet."

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head again and again: "Your Highness, I can't help it, as long as I stay in my original position."

The prince was taken aback: "What are you talking about?"

"To be in charge of thousands of households in the yamen, from the fifth rank, this position is good!"

The crown prince didn't understand Xu Zhiqiong's meaning: "Brother, don't joke with me. If you have any dissatisfaction, just put it bluntly. Even if I try to turn against the officials, I have to fight for a good one."

"Your Highness, I'm telling the truth. I have only been an official for a little over a year. I may have made a little contribution, but even if I am in charge of a yamen with thousands of households, it is difficult to convince the public."

"Aren't you joking? Let's ask which one in the Yamen in charge of the lamp refuses to accept you? Who in the entire Imperial City Department refuses to accept you?"

"Your Highness, if I have been in charge of the yamen for decades, and suddenly there is a young man who becomes the head of the household, I will not accept it. Qiao Shungang should be the head of the household. He is more familiar with the affairs of the yamen. Letting him take care of it, I also feel at ease, and there is nothing wrong with me being a thousand households from the fifth rank."

There is still half a sentence left, Xu Zhiqiong doesn't want to be tied down by the official position, he still has too many things to do, a job is the best choice for him.

The prince shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, this is really nonsense, don't say I can't bear it, if I can't reward meritorious deeds, it will also chill the hearts of the people in the world."

"No matter what you say, I just want to stay in the Lantern Yamen. If you really treat me as a brother, don't make things difficult for me!" Xu Zhiqiong's attitude was very firm.

"You're embarrassing me, it's not right, it's not right to say anything!"

The prince's attitude is also very firm.

Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and said: "How about this, you reward me with a sum of money, don't be stingy, let me figure it out first!"

Xu Zhiqiong was thinking about how to kill the prince, but he didn't expect the prince to slap his thigh and said: "If you don't want to be an official, I will confer you a title. There is a lot of money, but you are only conferred a title, but you can't hold an important position."

According to the official system of Daxuan, if you have a title, you can't have too much real power. To put it bluntly, you should separate the title from the real power. Can no longer serve.

Of course, in an emergency, the temporary assignment of duties is another matter.

Although you can't hold an important position, with a title, your income will increase greatly.

Xu Zhiqiong thought about it, a little tempted.

"Nobility? Is it suitable?"

The prince nodded and said: "It's suitable! You have military exploits!"

The premise of being knighted is to have military exploits, and that scum of Ren Songde is an exception.

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "If it's a knighthood, wouldn't it be a super class?"

According to the grand announcer system, even a baron is an existence beyond rank.

"What about Chaopin? Chaopin is what you deserve, and you didn't steal the jobs of those ministers. Which bastard dares to gossip!"

Xu Zhiqiong didn't want to be a high official because he had to bear a lot of responsibilities.

On the premise of not having to take responsibility, you can still make a lot of money. This idea is possible, and there is a lot!
"How much do you get for a year as a baron?"

In Daxuan, there are five ranks of titles, and baron is the lowest rank.

"Baron? A joke!" The prince shook his head and said, "Confer the Duke directly!"

"Inappropriate!" Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "If I become a prince, how will Chu Xin deal with it? Are you making him a king with a different surname?"

The prince also weighed it carefully: "Decide, Fenghou, you listen to me on this matter, and you can't change it no matter what you say!"

Xu Zhiqiong rubbed his hands again and again and said, "How much does the Marquis earn in a year?"
