Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu ended his trip to Paititi Cave and returned to Xinxijing.

News came from Tantai Ying, and Lin Bufan also took action. This guy didn't withstand the pressure after all. It turned out that he was Chakcheer's man. Strictly speaking, the two are in a cooperative relationship. Chakchel helps Lin Bufan improve his level of cultivation, similar to the help Qiniang gave Qi Xuansu, so Lin Bufan can rise rapidly. Of course, Lin Bufan must help Chakchel deal with Yixiche. you.

Qi Xuansu had completed the task given to him by the Taoist sect and was in a good mood. He didn't care about Lin Bufan's problem anymore. After all, Chakcheer was already dead, so he let Tantaiying handle it as he saw fit.

In the following period, Qi Xuansu did not immediately point the finger at the Insects. After all, this was a big problem, and it was a stubborn problem that could not be solved in an instant. The top priority was to rebuild the Northern Continent's intelligence system.

This is why Beichen Hall is special. It is not only an internal guard, but also in charge of external affairs. It cultivates both internal and external affairs. As a result, the various internal institutions of Beichen Hall are very complicated and huge, and even Tiangang Hall cannot compare with them. After all, besides Tiangang Hall, there is the Lingguan Palace, which has made most of the Lingguan affairs independent and is solely responsible for them. Beichen Hall has not become independent, but has usurped some of the power of the Ancestral Hall and Fengxian Hall. Those who invade Fengxian Hall for domestic affairs, and those who invade ancestral halls for external affairs.

Working in Beichen Hall often requires the division of labor and cooperation among multiple internal departments, as well as central liaison and overall coordination. This is when leaders must play their role. Originally, Master Qingwei was in charge, but Master Qingwei wanted Qi Xuansu to take charge personally, so it fell to Qi Xuansu. ??

In this case, the difficulty is very different. No one dares not to listen to what Master Qingwei says, and it will naturally operate smoothly, like an arm directing it. Qi Xuansu is different. No one dares to refute his face publicly, but he is not Li Changge after all. It is hard to say in private. The execution is always unfavorable, and there are always problems of one kind or another. There are various reasons for giving. Qi Xuansu was embarrassed.

This is to suppress Qi Xuansu's limelight.

Because Qi Xuansu had just won a "big victory", although the main force was the three immortals and Ixiqier, Qi Xuansu just followed the drums, but both Jiang Daren and Tianshi deliberately paved the way for Qi Xuansu, focusing on highlighting Qi Xuansu's ability, in the Taoist sect In the official caliber, Qi Xuansu played a very important role.

Now many people are saying that Qi Xuansu has the image of being a great leader.

Too dazzling.

Qi Xuansu is able to be where he is today mainly due to three factors: personal ability, having people above him, and good luck.

Among them, personal ability is relatively unimportant. Thousand-mile horses often exist, but Bole does not always exist. People above are the most important. Therefore, since ancient times, the grace of knowledge and encounter is also called the grace of reinvention, and it is juxtaposed with the grace of saving lives and the grace of procreation.

There are people above Qi Xuansu, so no one can swallow up his achievements, no one can block his promotion, no one can

He said he was still young and waited. No one asked him to give up the opportunity to his seniors. No one used him as a tool, let alone tried to make a big pie. After all, the power of promotion was in the hands of higher-ups, and it was not the turn of ordinary people. Come and draw cakes for Qi Xuansu to satisfy his hunger.

Qi Xuansu doesn't have to look at anyone's face, he doesn't have to act like a cow or a horse, and he doesn't have so many worldly feelings. As long as he does things well, he can be promoted on time. If he does more meritorious service, he will be promoted extra. The better he does, the faster he will be promoted.

Only in this case does personal ability become meaningful and important.

To put it bluntly, if you can't even enter the racecourse, then what's the point of running a thousand-mile horse no matter how fast it is?

If you want to ask why, why should Qi Xuansu be promoted if he is not a relative or an acquaintance?

The key is Qi Xuansu's irreplaceability. Except for Qi Xuansu, no one can stop Li Changge.

"Heart of the Immortal Stone" is the key.

This was given by Qiniang and earned by Qi Xuansu himself.

But just having the "Heart of the Immortal Stone" is nothing more than an immortal, which is not enough. Li Changge's pressure, Zhang Yuelu's marriage, and some interpersonal relationships turned into a close friend and an old friend, and this was how Qi Xuansu became.

Nature plays tricks on people.

As for being lucky enough, that's very general.

For example, when Qi Xuansu was the chief of the Borneo Taoist Government, Jin Que issued a task to fill the financial deficit left by two consecutive wars. Qi Xuansu happened to catch up with the melee between the Kingdom of Ibia, the Kingdom of Netherlands, and the Kingdom of Rune. He reorganized the Nanyang United Trading Company and took charge of the external sales of ordnance and weapons, making a lot of money. He successfully completed the task of Golden Que and received a commendation, which laid the foundation for his future promotion to the chief deputy hall master.

It is said that he is good at martial arts and martial arts, but it seems that Qi Xuansu has made great achievements in martial arts.

This is pure luck. It cannot be said that the Holy Court deliberately started a civil war in order to make Qi Xuansu meritorious.

Now Qi Xuansu's resume is not only dazzling, but also comprehensive, and he is about to become the youngest Shenzhi Master. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has the image of a great leader.

In this case, it is natural to cause some trouble for Qi Xuansu and suppress Qi Xuansu's limelight.

On the other side, Zhang Wuyue has been familiar with the business in Xingang recently and has not been in a hurry to "build a career". After all, this opportunity is hard-won and he only got it after breaking up with his sister. He regretted it afterwards.

Everyone here in Xingang knew about Zhang Wuyue's relationship with Qi Xuansu. They treated him very politely, even a little flatteringly, and often entertained Zhang Wuyue.

As the saying goes, the eldest son of a small family is far more difficult to take care of than the young master of a big family. Because the competition within the big family is fierce, the less important children within the big family have become proficient in the ways of the world early on.

Zhang Wuyue belongs to the young master of a big family. The Zhang family has a great reputation and is very good at intimidating people, but he is not a big deal within the family. He must learn to read people's words, so he can deal with them with ease.

Someone contacted him again today. He was from Xidaomen, named He Shaoyang.

The two agreed to meet in the evening and sit out for a while.

The construction of a new port in Xidaomen is not about erecting high-rise buildings on wasteland. There is already a certain foundation here, but it is very backward. This time it is considered a comprehensive reconstruction and expansion. Only the part where the expansion is being carried out is wasteland, so the current New Port has begun to take shape.

Many merchants and nobles took notice and invested a lot of peace money here to build a prosperous neighborhood, similar to Goulan House.

He Shaoyang made an appointment with Zhang Wuyue to listen to music at Goulan, and he sent a car to pick up Zhang Wuyue.

At the appointed time, Zhang Wuyue walked out of his temporary residence and saw an inconspicuous carriage. However, when he got on the carriage, he discovered that it was extraordinary and luxurious inside, and even had a small wine cabinet.

He Shaoyang poured a glass of wine for Zhang Wuyue, and the carriage drove slowly.

Zhang Wuyue raised the curtains and looked outside. Although the wasteland in the distance was pitch black, with some vague lights from night battles and the dark shadows of some unfinished buildings, the neighborhood they were going to was brightly lit and people were coming and going. Very lively.

There are also some special places where women solicit customers on the street - Xidaomen has not banned this oldest profession. The prerequisite for shouting about morality is that the upper class can actually set an example. Xidaomen probably does not have the confidence and will not do that kind of thing. How sacred it is, given the name of responsibility, etc., just let it go.

Soon, the carriage entered a quiet courtyard with the words "Peach Blossom Spring" hanging on the plaque. Zhang Wuyue judged that it should be a courtyard.

Zhang Wuyue has seen the world and knows what a courtyard is. It can be said that it has everything, not just women and listening to music.

The carriage stopped, and someone diligently opened the door for Zhang Wuyue.

Zhang Wuyue got out of the car and looked around. It was almost out of the bustling neighborhood. It was relatively quiet, with fewer lights and fewer people. The building is very exquisite and has the style of Jiangnan gardens. At this time, many carriages have been parked. They are in good condition. I think the owner of the carriage will not be an ordinary person.

He Shaoyang led Zhang Wuyue inside, and a charming young woman came over and said, "Mr. He, everything has been arranged."

This woman's appearance is also quite good, like a ripe fruit, especially in one place, majestic and majestic.

He Shaoyang pointed at Zhang Wuyue, "The guests coming tonight are distinguished guests from Yujing. You must serve them well, otherwise the sign will be ruined. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

The young woman smiled and said, "That's for sure, you two come with me."

The woman twisted in front and led the way to a single-family yard.

A middle-aged man was already waiting here.

He Shaoyang was the matchmaker, and this middle-aged man was the real owner.

He Shaoyang introduced to Zhang Wuyue, "This is Qian Gaogong from the port, Qian Xisheng."

Qian Xisheng is a fat man, born with a three-point smile, and his eyes are like two lines, full of light. He has already stretched out his hand, "Master Zhang, I have admired you for a long time, I have admired you for a long time!"

This is a Western handshake, which roughly means not to hold weapons, to show trust and no malice.

Zhang Wuyue was used to cupping his hands, so he couldn't help but be startled for a moment, then stretched out his hand to shake Qian Xisheng's hand.

Zhang Wuyue only felt that Qian Xisheng's hands were very smooth and soft, as if he had touched some kind of mollusc. He felt a sense of nausea in his heart, but it didn't show it at all on his face. He said, "Qian Gaogong, it's a pleasure to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Qian Xisheng said, "I have wanted to visit Mr. Zhang for a long time, but I have never been able to find a suitable opportunity. This time Lao He said that he wanted to come out and sit for a while. I said it was great. I can finally meet Mr. Zhang who I have longed for. ”

Zhang Wuyue smiled and said, "I'm not a beauty, so thinking about her day and night is a bit too much."

"Not too much, not too much at all." Qian Xisheng said, "In my eyes, Lao Qian, no beauty can be as good as Mr. Zhang."

On the other side, He Shaoyang was talking to the young woman in charge, "I won't be picky this time. You can find a few sensible and well-behaved people to come over. Don't fool me. The rest is still the same as before."

The young woman responded, "Don't worry, Mr. He, I won't dare to fool anyone."

He Shaoyang waved his hand.

The young woman twisted her waist and went out again. After a while, a row of slim figures came to the yard and waited outside.

Zhang Wuyue glanced at it and asked knowingly, "Aren't you listening to music?"

He Shaoyang smiled and said, "Of course I am listening to music, but it is sung alone, which is the custom here."

Zhang Wuyue smiled and did not object, "There is still such a custom, so I will just follow the local customs."

He Shaoyang motioned to the women to come in.

There are also some maids and servants, carrying various food boxes, who are responsible for the so-called "old rules".
