It should be said that Zhuang Zhiming didn't know the existence of Xuantian Sword and Remnant Soul, but he received orders from the "Presbyterian Council" twice in succession.
If it is more clear, he actually received two instructions from the "rotating chairman" of the Presbyterian Church, Elder Qingtai.
One time, he ordered himself to send five second-rank masters to Shuzhou to obey the orders of a man named Xiao Feng.
One time, he ordered himself to send seven second-rank masters to Fengyuan to bring a princess named Li Wutong to Shuzhou.
Obviously, Zhuang Zhiming cannot order himself, so he must not be the elder of Qingtai.
And since he is also an elder, he naturally knew that these two orders were actually not passed by the resolution of the elders' council at all, but issued by the elders of Qingtai under the guise of the elders' council.
This is actually the only drawback of the Kuilong Presbyterianism system - the "rotating elders" may use their private power to mobilize Kuilong's power at will.
Of course, when the identity of the elder is extremely confidential, such a behavior is actually very difficult to detect.
If Zhuang Zhiming wasn't an elder, he would have thought it was just a resolution of the elders' meeting, and would have carried it out meticulously.
But it happened that Zhuang Zhiming happened to be one of the elders, so he knew very well that the elder Qingtai was "abusing his private power".
However, Zhuang Zhiming did not expose the latter, but still followed the order.
There are two reasons for this.
First, once this matter is exposed, his own identity will be exposed.
Second, he wanted to use this to find out the identity of the elder Qingtai, and then use this to threaten the latter to "alliance" with him.
After all, there are only five seats in the Council of Elders, so if two people form an alliance, there is a high probability that they can influence all decisions of the Council of Elders, which is equivalent to indirectly controlling Kuilong.
For this reason, Zhuang Zhiming first went to investigate Xiao Feng.
But Xiao Feng died, at the hands of Wei Changtian, and Wu Tianqing and the other five also left without returning.
Under such circumstances, Zhuang Zhiming certainly wouldn't think that Wei Changtian had anything to do with Elder Qingtai.
After all, no matter how you look at the whole incident, it is also a situation of "the elders of Qingtai shook people to help Xiao Feng avenge, but were killed by the enemy".
So Zhuang Zhiming just checked Wei Changtian briefly, and gave up after finding nothing unusual, focusing on tracing Xiao Feng's various interpersonal relationships.
Until more than a month ago, he received an order to "bring Li Wutong back to Shuzhou"...
When the two orders were related to Wei Changtian, Zhuang Zhiming finally realized that the problem was Wei Changtian.
However, before he mobilized his staff to conduct a comprehensive investigation on the latter, Qin Zhengqiu suddenly appeared again.
The existence of a quasi-first-rank master is the top priority, so Zhuang Zhiming naturally dare not neglect.
In addition, he also wanted to use this to test the reaction of Elder Qingtai, so he immediately passed on the information.
The elders of Qingtai held the elders meeting according to the rules.
But Zhuang Zhiming didn't find anything unusual.
More importantly, when meeting Wei Changtian today, Zhuang Zhiming could tell that Wei Changtian really didn't know him.
This means that Wei Changtian is not the elder of Qingtai, otherwise it would be impossible for him to react in that way when he heard his name.
So... Elder Qingtai is someone close to Wei Changtian?
But it's not right either.
Because the elder Qingtai ordered to help that Xiao Feng kill Wei Changtian last year.
Why were you enemies last year, but friends this year?
Could it be that the elder of Qingtai has changed...
The quiet room was extremely quiet, Zhuang Zhiming sat on the futon and meditated for a long time.
In his hand, he was playing with a Kuilong Token that was almost identical to Wei Changtian's. The candlelight reflected on it, refracting a faint and complex red light.
......
......
At the same time, a certain space is as dark and deep as the universe.
"who is it?!"
"who is it?!!"
"The old man hid the token so well! Who found it?!"
"Could it be that kid surnamed Wei?"
"No, no! That kid is a gangster!"
"So... who the hell is that on the Qingtai?!"
"Why does that man know where the old man hid the token! And why does he know the secret method of sending messages?!"
"Wow! The old man is so angry!!"
"After the old man regains his physical body, he will definitely tear this sinister villain into pieces!!!"
"Hey, it depends on that kid to restore the body..."
"Forget it, let's talk to him about it."
"Otherwise, it would be bad if he really died..."
"..."
......
After half an hour.
When Wei Changtian stood in the secret room of the Freemasonry, after listening to Remnant Soul's words in a daze, he didn't come back to his senses for about 5 minutes.
WTF? !
The remnant soul actually has the token of the Presbyterian Church? ?
Or the elder Qingtai? ? ?
He used to "fabricate" the resolutions of the Presbyterian Council to mobilize the people of Kuilong? ?
Then...the token dropped? ? ?
The person who stole the token held a meeting of elders a few days ago? ? ?
No wonder you were so surprised when you heard that there was going to be a meeting! ! !
"..."
"No! Why didn't you say something so important earlier?"
Wei Changtian, who finally came to his senses, forgot even the "senior", and cursed directly: "Also, you didn't put that token in the Xuantian Sword???"
"The Xuantian Sword cannot be stored, how did the old man get it in?!"
Remnant Soul's answer was also very rigid: "Of course the old man hid it somewhere else!"
"How did you send the letter when you hid it elsewhere??"
Wei Changtian looked confused: "Can it still be operated remotely??"
"Ok?"
Obviously, Remnant Soul had never heard of the word "remote operation", but it didn't prevent him from quickly understanding the meaning.
"Hmph, of course you can't do it, but the old man has great powers."
"..."
No, it sounds like you are quite proud of yourself? ? ?
"Nima..."
Wei Changtian blurted out another curse.
Although Remnant Soul knew he was wrong, he still argued in a very uncomfortable way:
"Boy, you don't have to panic so much!"
"As long as Zhuang Zhiming doesn't tell me about the old man passing orders in the name of the Presbyterian Church, who would know?"
"Now it's just that the token is lost, and the old man can no longer mobilize Kuilong's people. It's not a big deal for you!"
"Anyway, you have a token now, and it will be your turn in another 20 years..."
"You shut up!"
Finally, Wei Changtian couldn't bear it anymore, and directly choked back the remnant soul's words.
Yes, from the perspective of the remnant soul, it really isn't a big deal.
At most, the token was lost, and the person who stole the token "impersonated" became the new elder of Qingtai.
but......
"Do you know?"
The angry roar echoed in the secret room, deafening.
"Zhuang Zhiming is fucking Elder Kuilong!"
"..."
"what???"
......
......
Zhuang Zhiming is also an elder, so he must know that the remnant soul is passing orders under the guise of the elders.
And the two orders were related to him, so Zhuang Zhiming's approach to him must not be just for Qin Zhengqiu, but has a bigger intention.
When the remnant soul finally confessed the truth, Wei Changtian understood it almost instantly.
This is why he is so impatient and angry now.
Originally, he was thinking of making a fuss with Zhuang Zhiming, and even taking advantage of him.
In the end, it is estimated that people have already checked themselves out.
This Nima...
Under the double impact of Zhuang Zhiming being the elder Kuilong and the information provided by Remnant Soul, Wei Changtian is now preoccupied with how to deal with Zhuang Zhiming, while temporarily ignoring another matter that is actually equally important.
That is, who is the person who stole the token of Remnant Soul?
Why does this person know the location of the Remnant Soul hidden card?And why do you know the secret method of sending messages that only people in the Presbyterian Church can understand?
This question may seem complex.
But as long as Wei Changtian thinks about it for a while, he should be able to easily come up with the answer...
"..."
"Da da da, da da da..."
Outside Longzhou City, two carriages drove out of the city gate one after the other, heading towards Lingkai Mountain where Folian Temple is located.
With the sound of horseshoes rushing and the carriage bumping, the official road in Longzhou is still so difficult.
Pulling back the curtain of the car, and looking up at the sun above his head, Xu Suisui suddenly smiled lightly for no reason.
"After so many days, they should all know."
"Then we should meet again..."
"..."
A quarter of an hour later.
Changwutang, Freemasonry.
Zhuang Zhiming and Wei Changtian, who were respectively located in two places in the city of Shuzhou, looked at the token in their hands at the same time.
[Three days later, at Zishi, there are important matters to discuss]
Description
The previous chapter gave too much information all at once. I am afraid that some readers may not understand it, which will affect the reading experience later, so I specially opened a single chapter to read it.
